By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN bkeeperman@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Right on the heels of a winter storm that covered much of DeKalb County with ice Monday, residents are bracing for a cold snap with temperatures in the teens and possibly more snow later this week.

That storm caused vehicle accidents, power outages and closures.

Advocates: Chicago police crisis training weak

By SARA BURNETT The Associated Press CHICAGO – In the wake of another police shooting, Mayor Rahm Emanuel called for an immediate review of how the Chicago Police Department trains officers to respond to calls involving people in crisis or with mental health problems.

But advocates for what’s known as crisis intervention team training say Chicago’s program has been “starved” of resources, with only about 15 percent of officers completing the 40-hour course. Advocates say they tried to get Ashlee Rezin/Chicago Sun-Times via AP meetings with Emanuel earLatonya Jones, 19, holds a photo of her mother, Bettie Jones, during a ly in his first term to stress vigil Sunday in Chicago.

The issue resurfaced last weekend, after officers responding to a domestic disturbance shot and killed a 19-year-old man and a 55-yearold woman. The deaths of Bettie Jones – who police say was accidentally hit by gunfire – and Quintonio LeGrier occurred just weeks after the Department of Justice opened a civil-rights investigation into Chicago police practices.

Texas cleans up after twisters

By DAVID WARREN GARLAND, Texas – Jacqui Gordon spent Monday sifting through the debris that had been her home, searching for old family photographs – especially of her father, who died two years ago.

She and nine others were enjoying a holiday gathering when winds began to rattle her home in suburban Dallas. They all dashed into closets and suffered only bumps and bruises, but Gordon’s roof was torn away and her house destroyed.

“I just got divorced, and this is all I had,” she said.

With rain all day Sunday keeping people away, residents worked on a dreary and frigid Monday to salvage what they could, with the American Red Cross distributing items like tarps, rakes and work gloves to help them.

At least 11 people died and dozens were injured in the tornadoes that swept through the Dallas area Saturday. Snow from New Mexico through the Midwest, plus flooding in Arkansas, Missouri and Illinois, added to the succession of severe weather events across the country in the last week that led to about four dozen deaths.

The storm system brought heavy snow, ice and blustery winds to several states in the nation’s midsection, as well as heavy rain in already-waterlogged areas.

More than 2,100 flights across the U.S. were canceled Monday – more than half of them at Chicago’s two main airports – and 3,700 were delayed, according to flight-tracking service FlightAware. A typical day sees about 150 cancellations and 4,000 delays.

Highways turned icy and treacherous in New Mexico, while Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin declared a state of emergency after blizzard conditions affected parts of the state and heavy rains fell.

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol said the body of a 22-year-old man was recovered,

The Associated Press CLEVELAND – A grand jury Monday declined to indict a white rookie police officer in the killing of 12-year-old Tamir Rice, a black youngster who was shot while playing with what turned out to be a pellet gun.

In explaining the decision, Cuyahoga County prosecutor Tim McGinty said it was “indisputable” that the boy was drawing the pistol from his waistband when he was gunned down. McGinty said Tamir was trying to either hand the weapon over to police or show them it wasn’t real, but the officer and his partner had no way of knowing that.

“Simply put, given this perfect storm of human error,

This aerial photo taken Monday shows damage after a tornado ripped through the area Saturday in Glenn Heights, Texas. Residents surveyed the destruction from deadly tornadoes in North Texas as the same storm system brought winter woes to the Midwest on Monday, amplifying flooding that’s blamed for more than a dozen deaths and prompting hundreds of flight cancellations. At least 11 people died and dozens were injured in the tornadoes that swept through the Dallas area Saturday and caused substantial damage. but a second man, the lead singer of the country-rock band Backroad Anthem, was still missing after the two went duck hunting and their boat capsized.

Officials in Arkansas said a 31-year-old man died in a storm-related drowning.

Several inches of rain caused flooding in Illinois and Missouri, where Gov. Jay Nixon also declared a state of emergency.

Nixon says the state’s death toll from days of pounding rainfall has risen to 10, and he expects that number to grow.

The Mississippi River neared a potential record crest, after an unusual amount of late-fall rain had the river already high before torrential downpours that began Saturday.

Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant said Monday the state is seeking a federal disaster

declaration for some or all of the seven counties hit by a tornado last week. Authorities in Georgia said they recovered the body of a man whose car was swept away when floodwaters overtook it.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott made disaster declarations Sunday for four counties – Dallas, Collin, Rockwall and Ellis. Officials estimated as many as 1,450 homes in North Texas were damaged or destroyed by at least nine tornadoes.

The National Weather Service has said an EF4 tornado, which is the second-most powerful with winds up to more than 200 mph, hit Garland.

Eight people died there, 15 were injured and more than 600 structures, mostly single-family homes, were damaged.

No charges for cop in killing of Cleveland boy

mistakes and miscommunications by all involved that day, the evidence did not indicate criminal conduct by police,” McGinty said. He said patrolman Timothy Loehmann was justified in opening fire: “He had reason to fear for his life.”

Tamir’s family condemned the decision but echoed the prosecutor in urging those disappointed to express themselves “peacefully and democratically.” Barricades were set up outside a Cleveland courthouse in case of protests, and about two dozen people gathered in the cold rain at the recreation center where Tamir was shot, some holding signs with photos of the boy and others killed by police in the U.S. A grainy surveillance-camera video of the boy’s November 2014 shooting provoked

outrage nationally, and together with other killings of black people by police in places such as Ferguson, Missouri, and New York City, it helped fuel the Black Lives Matter movement.

There was no immediate comment from Loehmann or his partner, who was not charged either.

Tamir was gunned down by Loehmann within two seconds of the officer’s police cruiser skidding to a stop near the boy.

Loehmann and his white training partner, Frank Garmback, were responding to a 911 call about a “guy” waving a gun and pointing it at people.

Tamir was carrying a borrowed airsoft gun that looks like an actual firearm but shoots nonlethal plastic pellets.

It was missing the orange tip

that is supposed to show that it is not a real weapon.

The grand jury had been hearing evidence and testimony since mid-October.

In detailing the decision not to bring charges, McGinty said police radio personnel contributed to the tragedy by failing to pass along the “all-important fact” that the 911 caller said the gunman was probably a youngster and the gun probably wasn’t real.

Assistant Prosecutor Matthew Meyer said it was “extremely difficult” to tell the difference between the pellet gun and a real one. And he said Tamir was big for his age – 5-foot-7 and 175 pounds, with a men’s XL jacket and size-36 pants – and could have easily passed for someone much older.

Roman Catholic Holy Spirit Adoration sisters pray Dec. 22 at the Chapel of Divine Love in Philadelphia. For 100 years now, 24-hours a day, one of the cloistered nuns in a pink habit pray before the altar at the chapel.

PHILADELPHIA – For more than 100 years, the cloistered nuns known as the Pink Sisters have worked in shifts to ensure nonstop prayer in Philadelphia’s Chapel of Divine Love.

Now, to address their shrinking numbers and ensure their prayers continue for another century, the Roman Catholic Holy Spirit Adoration sisters have begun quietly reaching out, seeking to grow their order while carefully maintaining their secluded life.

In the last year, they hung a banner outside their chapel and convent as a way to let other people know about their daily public Masses. They’ve grant-

ed more interviews with news reporters. And they have begun inviting Catholic women’s organizations and schools to speak to the sisters – with all conversations taking place through the grille in the convent visiting room, of course.

There’s even a subtle recruitment flier hanging just inside the front door of the chapel. It encourages visitors to ask themselves three questions: Do you love Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament? Do you realize the power of prayer before the Blessed Sacrament? Is Jesus calling you to say ‘yes’ to a life of prayer before the Blessed Sacrament?

“We rarely reached out for vocation promotion before the centennial. But now we want

young ladies to see how beautiful the life is and how truer the joy when it is without the trappings of material things,” said Sister Maria Clarissa, 55. “We do our part in addressing these challenges, but at the same time, we leave it to the Lord.

He’s the one who calls.”

There were once as many as 40 nuns living in the Philadelphia convent. Now, there are 20: The youngest is 52, and the oldest is 90.

The order was founded in Holland in 1896 with a focus on the perpetual adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, the consecrated bread they uphold as the body and blood of Christ. The rose-hued habits are meant to symbolize the joy the sisters feel honoring the Holy Spirit.

Records: NIU student shot by police had behavioral issues

By RHONDA GILLESPIE rgillespie@shawmedia.com

Danielle Guerra – dguerra@shawmedia.com

Jose Meza of Weaver Construction uses a concrete saw on the newly poured drive leading into the back of the new location of Resource Bank on Dec. 22 in Sycamore. The bank, which is currently located in the strip mall on Sycamore’s east side, will move to the old Willow’s Hometown Cafe at 351 N. Main St., Sycamore.

Former Browns’ building seen as key for Sycamore’s east side

By KATIE SMITH ksmith@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – As businesses continue to close or move away from Sycamore’s east side, city officials are turning to the lot formerly occupied by Browns’ County Market to restore the area.

Browns’ County Market closed in 2013 after the owner transferred the property at 403 E. State St. to NB&T Bank and proceeded with Chapter 7 bankruptcy. The market had anchored a shopping plaza that used to include the Wendy’s restaurant that was destroyed in a January fire and demolished in July.

Transaction delays from last summer’s auction of the former Browns’ County Market building kept the deal from closing, and the space has remained vacant.

Most recently, owners of

the State Street coffee and donut shop, Mudslingers, announced earlier this month that they plan on ending their three-year run a couple of blocks away on East State and would close.

Plans to renovate Willow’s Hometown Cafe building at 351 N. Main St. are underway so the building can be used as a new location for a Resource Bank branch. The Sycamore City Council approved rezoning the corner property in August to allow crews to install banking drive-up lanes on the property.

However, it’s repurposing the former Browns’ space that likely will be the first step to drawing more interest to east State, City Manager Brian Gregory said.

“It seems as though the economy is, generally speaking, picking up,” Gregory said. “... Redeveloping the Browns’

site will [be] an anchor that will help all the different sites on the east end start to redevelop and fill up.”

The hypothetical new business doesn’t need to boast a popular name brand so long as it provides a service Sycamore residents are sure to use, Gregory said.

“Browns’ is the first cog in the wheel,” he said.

But developing business in that area could continue to present challenges, First Ward Alderman Alan Bauer said. No one currently is contracted to fill the vacant space.

“It’s a residential area, so what you’re looking at is neighborhood commercial space available there, and those are sometimes kind of hard spots to fill,” Bauer said.

“Economic development is sometimes pretty challenging, but those are residential neighborhoods.”

DeKALB – The 19-year-old man shot and killed by a Chicago police officer Saturday, remained a Northern Illinois University student despite an arrest for punching a residence hall worker and other arrests, including assault and disorderly conduct.

Quintonio LeGrier, a sophomore engineering major at NIU, was shot seven times, according to the Cook County medical examiner, by police who responded to a call about a domestic disturbance at the residence he shared with his father.

Officers “were confronted by a combative subject resulting in the discharging of the officer’s weapon,” Chicago Police Department officials said in written statement after the incident.

After hearing about LeGrier’s DeKalb legal troubles, the Rev. Jesse Jackson said they, along with the domestic issues that prompted Saturday’s call by LeGrier’s father for police help, show a young man beset with mental challenges.

“It just means he was going through something,” Jackson told the Daily Chronicle.

Calls to the student’s father indicated his voicemail was full.

However, LeGrier’s family has said publicly that LeGrier had at one point been in foster care. They also said he was an honor student at NIU. His troubles began here in January when, according

to police records, he was arrested by city of DeKalb police for stealing a speaker, deodorant and body wash from Wal-Mart on Sycamore Road, according to court records.

The merchandise was valued at less than $150 – making it a misdemeanor – but the fines and fees he amassed in the case topped $1,000.

Two weeks later, on March 1, LeGrier had his first encounter for the year with NIU police. He was charged that day with resisting a campus police officer after police accused him of trying to leave the scene of a battery they were investigating, court records show.

One month later, on May 6, he was charged with felony aggravated battery. That day NIU police were called to a dining hall in the Neptune dormitory in response to reports of a disturbance.

According to a NIU police report, witnesses said LeGrier was in a buffet line “yelling and swearing” when a residence hall worker came over to try and calm him.

The report states that LeGrier shouted an expletive to the female worker and punched her in the chest.

“He had the same rebelliousness towards his father,” Jackson said. “That’s what mentally ill people do.”

LeGrier’s father, Antonio, posted the $500 bail his son needed to get out of DeKalb County Jail after the felony arrest. And the student still was living in the Neptune residence hall as of this past

semester, an NIU spokesman confirmed.

“His being out on bail had nothing to do with the way he was executed,” Jackson said.

The civil rights leader has been consulting with the family since the shooting and was part of a Sunday vigil held near where it happened.

According to the university’s student conduct code, LeGrier should have been subject to sanctions for his arrests and behavior. However, it is unclear if the university disciplined him.

“Student Affairs has a strict policy of not speaking about sanctions against any individual student,” NIU spokesman Joe King said.

LeGrier’s death was the third one associated with NIU this semester. In September, a student fell from the top floor of a residence hall after police and the coroner said he used LSD. Earlier this month 19-year-old Joseph Graves was killed in Chicago. Some media outlets erroneously reported that he was an NIU student, although NIU officials said he previously attended the university.

“It does seem that we have dealt with more than our share of sorrows this semester,” King said. “Hopefully there are better times ahead in 2016.”

LeGrier was due back in court Jan. 25. Now, however, his family will have to come to the campus to clear the belongings left in his dorm room.

About 15 percent of Chicago police force has had CIT training Continued from page A1 WHAT IS CRISIS INTERVENTION TEAM TRAINING? In CIT training, officers learn to identify a person who is in crisis and to de-escalate situations in which someone is agitated or exhibiting other signs of mental trouble.

That may mean taking more time for the person to calm down, talking with the person about what’s happening or finding other resources such as a case manager or mental health clinic rather than making an arrest.

There are more than 2,700 CIT programs across the U.S. Amy Watson, an associate

professor of social work at the University of Illinois at Chicago, has been involved with the Chicago Police Department’s program since it formed in 2005 and has conducted two studies on its effectiveness.

Her research and other studies have found that officers trained in CIT methods use less force, are better equipped to defuse crises and reduce the risk of injury.

Alexa James, executive director of the National Alliance on Mental Illness of Chicago, called the program “fabulous.”

Any deficiencies, Watson and James agree, are in how it’s been implemented in the Chicago Police Department.

Continued from page A1 shelter. Residents can call 815-748-8400 for more information.

The DeKalb County Highway Department snow removal crews were out on the roads by 6 a.m. Monday, said Nathan Schwartz, county engineer.

“We have a dozen routes,” he said. “They have been out there all day, spreading salt, pushing and plowing the snow and slush off the roads and applying more salt.”

The County Highway Department is responsible for clearing county highways.

The Illinois Department of Transportation is in charge of its state roads, such as Routes 23, 64 and 38. Municipalities and townships clear the roads within town boundaries that the highway department and state don’t own.

Service agencies had to cut services because of the weather Monday as well. The Family Service Agency

NATION BRIEF Motorhead frontman ‘Lemmy’ Kilmister dies LOS ANGELES – Ian “Lemmy” Kilmister, the Motorhead frontman whose outsized persona made him a hero for generations of hard-rockers and metal-heads, has died.

Agent Andrew Goodfriend tells The Associated Press that Kilmister died on Monday in Los Angeles after a brief battle with aggressive cancer.

Known simply as “Lemmy” to most, he was as famous for his mustache, mutton chops and the mole on his face as his music.

But he was deeply respected and revered as a rock master and innovator, from his time with the seminal psychedelic band Hawkwind in the early 1970s to his four decades in Motorhead, best known for their 1980 anthem “Ace of Spades.”

closed. Sycamore Library closed early and busing services throughout the county were halted.

The Voluntary Action Center stopped Blue and Green Line services at 6 p.m. instead of running through its usual 9 p.m. The agency also canceled Meals on Wheels deliveries to the rural areas of the county and Sandwich as well as busing services. Busing services to rural areas were cut in the morning, but by 12:30 p.m., busing services were stopped all together because of road conditions.

A TransVAC bus was involved in an accident Monday morning on Annie Glidden Road. No one was injured and the bus wasn’t carrying passengers at the time of the incident, said interim associate director Paul LaLonde.

“That helped guide us toward the closure,” he said.

“It’s just hard to control conditions out there. A car slid right into [the bus.]”

About 1,860 officers, or approximately 15 percent of the police force, have received the training, Chicago police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said Monday.

Watson and James say the percentage should be closer to 25 or 35 percent – enough so that there’s a CIT-trained officer on every shift in every police district who can respond to calls as needed.

Right now, that kind of coverage is “spotty,” Watson said. It’s particularly difficult to find a trained officer on the overnight shift.

“Every officer is trained in how to use a firearm, but not every officer will use their

weapon,” James said. She said the likelihood of an officer encountering a person in crisis is far greater.

Training also has been inconsistent at the city’s 911 center, where dispatchers should ask questions to determine if a situation involves someone with a mental health issue, then dispatch a CIT-trained officer if one is needed. That training hasn’t been happening often enough, they said.

“We couldn’t even get a call back,” she said.

Around that same time, the city closed several mental health centers because of budget problems.

And this year, with state lawmakers and Gov. Bruce Rauner unable to agree on a budget, there was no money to conduct the training in the first half of the fiscal year.

That means about 200 Chicago officers missed out on the class, James said.

Collins said Monday that the

mayor directed the interim police superintendent and a police oversight agency to conduct a thorough review, determine what gaps exist in training and to act on them immediately.

“It is clear from recent incidents that substantive changes are needed in our police department, particularly around use of force and de-escalating conflicts, including interactions with individuals in crisis,” Collins said.

Emanuel’s office said he was returning early from a family vacation to Cuba to address the latest crisis, and would be back in Chicago on Tuesday.

LECANTO, Fla. – A Florida woman has been accused of taking methamphetamine and driving a motorized shopping cart through a Wal-Mart while drinking wine and eating sushi and cinnamon rolls.

According to a Citrus County Sheriff’s Office arrest report, security officer Robert Gross observed 25-year-old Josseleen E. Lopez consuming $32.36 worth of food and wine inside the Lecanto store.

Gross says he watched Lopez open some sushi, eat a piece and then put it back on the shelf.

He says Lopez did the same thing with a package of mini muffins and cinnamon rolls. He says Lopez also ate most of a rotisserie chicken.

Lopez told authorities she was homeless and hungry and had just injected herself with methamphetamine.

She was arrested on charges of retail petit theft and possession of drug paraphernalia.

DeKalb bicycle shop gets new owners, services Know more

By KATIE SMITH ksmith@shawmedia.com DeKALB – North Central Cyclery will cater to more than just its bicycle-riding clientele under the store’s new management.

Hobbyist triathletes Mike and Justeen Paul took ownership of the shop, at 534 E. Lincoln Highway, with Mike Paul’s parents, Lyle and Marty Paul, in late October.

“For our family it’s kind of a perfect fit,” Mike Paul said.

The store now offers a lifetime of free adjustments for any bike purchased at North Central Cyclery and will continue to add merchandise suited for runners as well as cyclists, he said.

“We brought in just a lot of different accessories they didn’t have in the store: Garmin cycling computers, watches, hydration systems for the bike and runners,” Mike Paul said.

Future plans include building a computerized indoor training studio for cyclists, and introducing bicycle-fitting equipment so customers can be sure their bike is safe and comfortable to ride before leaving the store, he said.

“We’re really doing a lot different,” Mike Paul said. “We’re trying to maintain the culture that the store had to some extent in working with [bikes] but then we’re adding to it.”

A former chiropractor, Mike Paul moved from Libertyville back to DeKalb, where he was raised, about a year ago. The shop was listed for sale shortly after his return, and he felt like it was a good fit for the whole family, he said.

During the rare times Mike and Justeen Paul aren’t managing the shop, the recently married couple works hard to be sure they can endure the physical stresses of their next triathlon.

“I think that I’ve got a pretty long background of bicycling – whether it was racing, BMX bikes, or riding road bikes – and it kind of developed into triathlons,” Mike Paul said. “Bikes have always kind been a part of my life.”

The store has adopted new hours and will operate from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays, and noon to 4 p.m. Sundays.

Danielle Guerra - dguerra@shawmedia.com “The cycling industry, basically all parts of it, is something we’re passion- Justeen Paul and her husband, Michael Paul, bought North Central Cyclery in DeKalb in October along with Michael’s parents, Lyle ate about,” Mike Paul said. and Marty Paul (not pictured). The pair, seen here in their shop at 534 E. Lincoln Highway, are avid triathletes.

Winning war on poverty demands centrism

Unknowns in GOP race ahead Some observations on the 2016 presidential race as we wind down the dark period, i.e., the two weeks of Christmas and New Year’s holidays in which no one has ever dared, at least in the past, to conduct any polls. Those of us who pick over poll results will have to fly blind until Monday.

Which leaves us with two weeks to ponder, without much in the way of further evidence, the known unknowns of the 2016 Republican campaign cycle. They include: 1. How many of Donald Trump’s supporters will actually vote in caucuses and primaries? Poll analysts have noted that Trump is much stronger among noncollege-educated than college-educated voters, that he tends to be stronger among those who haven’t voted in caucuses and primaries in the past than among those who have, and that he runs consistently better in robo-call and Internet polls than he does in live-interview polls.

Under traditional rules of thumb, one would expect that many Trump fans won’t actually vote, and that his percentages will be well under the 33percent he’s getting in national polls and the 25 percent and 29 percent he’s polling in Iowa and New Hampshire.

That in turn suggests he’ll have a low ceiling of support in later contests, since many, perhaps most, of non-Trump respondents have unfavorable feelings about him.

In which case a candidate who emerges asTrump’s chief rival, or one of two candidates who rise to the top, will be nominated, much as candidates have been in the past.

But maybe Trump supporters will actually turn out in large numbers, even those who haven’t been engaged in the past. Evidence for that includes the large crowds he’s been attracting and the huge viewership numbers

VIEWS Michael Barone for the Republican debates: 13 million to 24 million, far above the previous record of 8 million.

2. Will the Republican race boil down to a contest between Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio?

If Trump’s numbers fall or collapse, the focus will be on these two candidates, whose poll numbers have risen to double digits nationally and in the two leadoff states.

Cruz seems to have benefited in Iowa from the collapse in support for Ben Carson among religious conservatives. They have been a majority of past caucus-goers – a larger Republican constituency than in any other non-Southern state. But that won’t help him much in New Hampshire, where religious conservatives are scarce on the ground.

Rubio is threatened there by the rising support for Chris Christie, who has been conducting dozens of town hall meetings and who had a strong debate performance last week. That’s in contrast to Jeb Bush, who has made no headway despite his super PAC’s $17 million in TV ads there. It looks like either Rubio or Christie will emerge as a strong contender from New Hampshire – but probably not both.

3. How will Rubio withstand the attacks coming his way? Although he isn’t leading the polls in any state, Rubio is the odds-makers’ favorite to win the Republican nomination. He’s widely acceptable to Republican primary voters and is a smooth and articulate debate performer. His opponents

evidently share the odds-makers’ view: He was the target of more attacks in the Las Vegas debate than any other candidate, even Trump.

There Rubio and Cruz engaged in furious argument over foreign policy and immigration, both making intellectually serious points but both also taking tacks that, as my Washington Examiner colleague Byron York has documented, can’t really be sustained.

So far Rubio impressively has been unflappable and even in the heat of argument has maintained a likeability edge over Cruz. But it’s not clear who will come out ahead.

4. Besides the known unknowns, what unknown unknowns lie ahead? The Las Vegas debate centered on terrorism, which probably would not have been the case but for the San Bernardino attack 13 days earlier. That probably helped some candidates, notably Christie, more than others.

That was not the first time that this contest was affected by what the British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan told a junior colleague determines history: “Events, dear boy, events.” And it probably won’t be the last.

None of the Republican or Democratic candidates in 2008 expected that financial markets would collapse that fall, and they might have campaigned differently had they known.

By MEGAN MCARDLE

The main casualty of Washington’s endless partisan squabbling is a pragmatic approach to policy – meaning one that prefers results to noise.

Ideological warriors of left and right say centrism of this kind is mere cover for cynical deal-making, splitting the difference and substituting platitudes for principles. They’re wrong, and proof is at hand.

A working group convened by the (conservative) American Enterprise Institute and the (liberal) Brookings Institution has just produced an excellent report on poverty. Its recommendations don’t take a weak-willed average. They combine the strongest parts of what Democrats and Republicans in Congress think on this issue.

Crucially, the group began by accepting three general truths that often derail debate before it begins: Able-bodied adults should work, two committed parents are better than one, and schools must do more to prepare students for careers. In each of those areas, the group managed to reach consensus on policy.

To encourage work, the group endorses some traditionally liberal ideas: modestly raising the minimum wage, increasing state payroll taxes to fund paid medical and family leave, offering child-support debt forgiveness for fathers who work, “banning the box” that is used to screen out job applicants with criminal records and subsidizing wages for low-income workers and the hard-to-employ. Traditional conservative ideas also won support: creating stronger incentives for workers not to claim disability benefits, tying housing benefits and food stamps to work and expanding “workfare” programs for those unable to find jobs.

On education, the group’s approach was no less catholic: It called for increasing and improving pre-K and early learning opportunities, as liberals want, and expanding school choice and teacher evaluations, as conservatives want. The group wants more focus on “social-emotional learning” – standards of behavior that are essential to workplace success. It calls for expanding career and technical-education opportunities by encouraging community colleges to offer more employment-oriented classes and businesses to offer more apprenticeships.

Taken in isolation, each of these and other policies are likely to arouse opposition from one party or the other. Bundled together, they form a package both sides can support. This new report, excellent in its own right, makes an even larger point. The most effective way to make policy is not from the left or the right, but from the radical center.

at all, driving up tuition and thereby paying for the swelling level of college amenities, the swelling ranks of for-profit colleges of dubious value, and the swelling number of administrators at our nation’s institutions of higher learning. That’s not a sterling argument for further well-meaning government intervention in the sector.

The second is to point out that while it is cheaper to pay a mortgage, it is not easier to get one. They’re very sticky about ensuring that you repay them. Most college students could not make it through the amount of underwriting that goes into writing a typical mortgage these days.

And the third is that unless we are going to go pretty far in the socialist direction, we’re stuck with prices as the main way to allocate economic activity. As long as we have prices, the government will have a budget.

And reducing the interest rate on loans with a high delinquency rate compared to other loans means that we will have less money to do something else. Giving people free tuition will also mean that the government will have less money to do something else – a lot less money. Sanders tries to deal with this problem by conjuring hundreds of billions worth of imaginary tax revenue out of thin air, but alas, the actual president will have to find real money, taken from some other use. Is subsidizing the folks who are going to end up as the best-off members of society really what we would choose to use that money for?

More people require shelter than college diplomas. More Americans own homes than a sheepskin on the wall. If we’re going to be subsidizing anything, why choose the needs of the few over the many?

Illinois economy underperforms Which way does the arrow point?

Regardless of which direction the national economy takes in 2016, Illinois continues to take the path of underperformance.

It does not feel like the best of times. It certainly is not the worst of times.

If Charles Dickens were to rely on today’s economy for inspiration, he would never have left the newspaper business.

With a new year approaching, the U.S. economy is not sending any clear signals on which way it is headed. Up, down, sideways?

Some economists see accelerating growth in 2016, the most robust growth since the end of the Great Recession in mid-2009.

Those experts point to more jobs being created, a historically low unemployment rate of 5 percent, remarkably low prices for gasoline, and greater spending on housing and autos.

Other economists, however, are less optimistic and have their own statistics to back up their case.

While the U.S. is growing, it is not putting any upward pressure on wages. Therefore, inflation remains low – too low for these experts and for the Federal Reserve, which would like to see prices rising at an annual rate of 2 percent.

The global economy, they say, is keeping a lid on the American business environment. U.S. companies can and do move overseas for lower-cost labor – one reason for stagnant wages here. America’s trading partners, especially China, play a key role in how well the U.S. economy performs. If Chinese growth is slowing, the rest of the world tends to do the same.

Finally, the naysayers point to low unemployment, low interest rates and low gas prices and ask: With such strengths, where’s the boom?

Indeed, there has been no great expansion so far to wipe away the last recession’s damage.

Here in Illinois, we are all too familiar with the economic no-man’s land.

Last month, Illinois’ 5.7 percent unemployment rate stayed stubbornly higher than the national rate.

Either this state finds its way back to the path of growth, or it will be setting up its residents for the worst of times.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Globetrotters legend Meadowlark Lemon dies

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Meadowlark Lemon, the “clown prince” of basketball’s barnstorming Harlem Globetrotters, whose blend of hook shots and humor brought joy to millions of fans around the world, has died. He was 83.

Lemon’s wife and daughter confirmed to the team that he died Sunday in Scottsdale, Arizona, Globetrotters spokesman Brett Meister said Monday. Meister did not know the cause of death.

Though skilled enough to play professionally, Lemon instead wanted to entertain, his dream of playing for the Globetrotters hatched after watching a newsreel of the all-black team at a cinema house when he was 11.

Lemon ended up becoming arguably the team’s most popular player, a showman known as much for his confetti-in-the-water-bucket routine and slapstick comedy as his half-court hook shots and no-look, behind-the-back passes.

A sign of his crossover appeal, Lemon was inducted into both the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame and the International Clown Hall of Fame.

“My destiny was to make people happy,” Lemon said as he was inducted into the basketball hall as a contributor to the game in 2003.

Lemon played for the Globetrotters during the team’s heyday from the mid-1950s to the late-1970s, delighting fans with his skills with a ball and a joke. Traveling by car, bus, train or plane nearly every night, Lemon covered nearly 4 million miles to play in over 100 countries and in front of popes and presidents, kings and queens. Known as the “Clown Prince of Basketball,” he averaged 325 games per year during his prime, that luminous smile never dimming.

“Meadowlark was the most sensational, awesome, incredible basketball player I’ve ever seen,” NBA great and former Globetrotter Wilt Chamberlain said shortly before his death in 1999.

“People would say it would be Dr. J or even (Michael) Jordan. For me it would be Meadowlark Lemon.”

Lemon spent 24 years with the Globetrotters, doing tours through the racially torn South in the 1950s until he left in 1979 to start his own team.

Don’t take away too much from win over Bucs It would be a real mistake to try to take too much from the Bears’ 26-21 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.

It was big because it snapped a three-game skid in which the Bears had gotten progressively worse each week, and even bigger because it gave last year’s 5-11 team its sixth win this year with an allnew coaching staff and front office.

When you’re climbing from the bottom up, progress is huge, and Sunday was a big AP photo step.

But if you start assuming Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler (6) throws a pass against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Sunday. the Bears solved all kinds of

The Bucs are also a 6-9 team that has lost three straight and

four of its past five, all to losing teams.

The Bears won in large part because the Bucs gave them three really bad turnovers. The Bears also caught a break when, trailing 7-0 less than two minutes into the second quarter, Jay Cutler had a pass tipped by Gerald McCoy and intercepted by William Gholston at the Bears’ 39 and returned to the 15, but it was overturned by a Bucs facemask penalty, allowing the Bears to drive 68 yards to a game-tying score.

SPORTS BRIEFS Yankees get Aroldis Chapman from Reds NEW YORK — The New York Yankees bolstered an already dominant bullpen Monday, acquiring hard-throwing AllStar closer Aroldis Chapman from the Cincinnati Reds for four minor leaguers.

Chapman became available after the Reds’ deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers fell through during baseball’s winter meetings three weeks ago when it was learned Florida police investigated an accusation of domestic violence involving the Cuban left-hander.

Ware lifts Broncos past Bengals in overtime DENVER — DeMarcus Ware beat AJ McCarron to a fumbled snap in overtime, sending the Denver Broncos into the playoffs with a 20-17 win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday night.

Ware’s recovery followed a 37-yard field goal by Brandon McManus, whose shanked 45-yarder at the end of regulation made necessary the extra drama.

The Broncos (11-4) overcame a 14-0 first-half deficit in clinching their fifth consecutive playoff berth and denying the Bengals (11-4) their first road win on a Monday night since 1990.

Cincinnati also blew a chance to earn a bye in the playoffs.

BOWL ROUNDUP

Minnesota edges CMU

By ASSOCIATED PRESS DETROIT — Cooper Rush was being taken down from behind, so to avoid a sack, he tossed the ball toward a receiver.

“Looking back, probably should have just ate it,” the Central Michigan quarterback said.

Rush’s risky pass was intercepted, and the Chippewas fell 21-14 to Minnesota on Monday night in the Quick Lane Bowl.

It was a tough ending to a terrific season for Rush, who set CMU’s single-season record for yards passing.

Central Michigan (7-6) took a 14-13 lead with 11:08 remaining on a 13-yard touchdown run by Romello Ross. Minnesota responded by driving 74 yards in 13 plays, and quarterback Mitch Leidner ran 13 yards for the go-ahead touchdown with 4:26 to play. Leidner then threw to KJ Maye for a 2-point conversion.

CMU drove back into Min-

Hoiberg ignoring rumors

nesota territory, but Rush’s ill-advised pass was picked off by Briean Boddy-Calhoun with 2:10 to play.

“We felt like we were right there,” CMU coach John Bonamego said. “Just not enough at the end, a few too many mistakes, but Minnesota had a good plan, they executed it. They definitely deserved the win.”

Minnesota (6-7) ended a trying season on a positive note.

Coach Jerry Kill retired in late October because of continued difficulty managing his epilepsy and his job. The Gophers were 5-7 after the regular season but were able to play on because not enough teams reached six wins to fill all the bowls.

“We played by the rules,” said Tracy Claeys, who took over as coach after Kill’s retirement. “If they don’t want 5-7 teams in the bowl, then change the rule, but right now that’s the rule.”

All three teams that went

to bowls at 5-7 — Minnesota, Nebraska and San Jose State — ended up winning.

Navy 44, Pittsburgh 28

How appropriate that Keenan Reynolds’ final touchdown at Navy thrust him into the NCAA record book and secured a milestone victory for the Midshipmen.

Reynolds wrapped up his record-setting college career in spectacular fashion, running for three scores and throwing for another Monday to lead Navy past Pittsburgh 44-28 in the Military Bowl.

After the Midshipmen let a 24-point cushion dwindle to 38-28, Reynolds capped a nineplay drive with a 9-yard touchdown run with 4:19 remaining. It was his 88th career TD, breaking a tie with Kenneth Dixon of Louisiana Tech for most in Football Bowl Subdivision history.

It was classic Reynolds, given that he broke a slew of records and won a whole lot of games.

General manager Ryan Pace and coach John Fox were here almost two full months before they confirmed whether Cutler would even be a Bear this year.

The Bucs game was Cutler’s fifth of the season with a passer rating of better than 100 and the sixth in which he didn’t throw an interception. He now appears to be a lock as the quarterback of the present and future.

Both Jeremy Langford and Matt Forte played really well in Tampa behind an excellent run-blocking effort from the offensive line.

Chicago Blackhawks left wing Dennis Rasmussen, left, celebrates his first NHL goal with teammates Andrew Shaw (65) and Trevor van Riemsdyk (57) earlier this month.

Shaw added to first line

By MARK LAZERUS mlazerus@suntimes.com For about three weeks, the Blackhawks were slowly starting to resemble the Blackhawks again. They were getting scoring from their bottom-six forwards. They were scoring three or four goals a night. They had a real fourth line again, balancing out the minutes. They were camping out in the offensive zone for entire shifts at a time. And they were winning, too – seven out of nine, to be exact.

Well, two bad games and Joel Quenneville’s already back to the drawing board.

After the Hawks avoided being shut out for the second straight game by a mere three seconds Sunday night against the mediocre Carolina Hurricanes, Quenneville did what he always does when he’s unhappy with the offense: He tinkered. So Andrew Shaw, one of the few players who brought his best against Dallas and

Next Hawks at Arizona, 8 p.m. today, CSN, AM-720 Carolina, is back on the top line, and Teuvo Teravainen, who barely a week ago looked like the long-term solution on the top line at left wing, is on the third line at right wing.

“It could be permanent, or it could be short term,” Quenneville said. “We’ll see. But [it’s] more like a reward. Shaw deserves a chance to get up there.”

On top of that, the Hawks finally seem to have given up on defenseman David Rundblad, who has watched 28 of 37 games this season in a suit – healthy, available and eager to play, but essentially unwanted

by Quenneville. He was put on waivers Monday, with promising rookie Erik Gustafsson called up. If Rundblad clears, he will be sent to Rockford. He also can be claimed by another

team, as Viktor Tikhonov was earlier in the season.

General manager Stan Bowman gave up a second-round pick to get Rundblad at the trade deadline in 2014, then resigned him to a two-year contract worth an average of $1.05 million a season this past summer. But the offensive-minded defenseman never won over Quenneville.

Gustafsson, who was impressive during an earlier sixgame stint, will get a chance to be an everyday player, which will allow Quenneville to rotate veterans Michal Rozsival and Rob Scuderi to keep them fresh. Gustafsson will even start out on the second power-play unit.

“I try to play the game as Chicago wants to play,” Gustafson said. “They like to move the puck, and I tried to show them that I can move the puck.”

The way the Hawks really want to play is high-flying, showtime hockey.

well before the injury, but also so that prospective teams could see that Noah was alive and well moving forward.

The concern the Bulls have with the injury was a small tear in the shoulder will heal without surgery, but could also leads to a more serious tear.

Then there’s the Bobby Portis factor in all of this, as the emergence of the rookie would make life without Noah – who will be a free agent after this season – a bit easier to handle.

“Ever since I was a kid I was always the guy that always went out there and worked as hard as I can, always played as hard as I can to provide my team with positive energy,’’ Portis, who scored 12 points and grabbed nine rebounds in the win over Toronto, said.

“That’s what I’ve been trying to do ever since Joakim got hurt. I’m not trying to replace him, I’m just trying to fill in the lost void.’’

While Hoiberg has been very outspoken about his dislike for social media and all of the rumors that seem to branch out from it, his way of dealing with the trade talk and how it relates to his players was to simply ignore it.

“I don’t talk about them,’’ Hoiberg said. “These guys, what they’ve done is shown up every day and been ready to go to work. That’s what great teams do. That’s what professional teams do. We’ve got a lot of pros on this team.”

NFL

expendable when his contract expires at the end of the season is a dangerous conclusion.

Carey touched the ball once in the first three quarters – his 1-yard touchdown run – and then again for his touchdown reception on the first play of the fourth quarter.

Carey’s remaining six carries for 15 yards came only after Forte was out with a back problem and Langford was gassed during the final 6:28 of the game.

Carey is still a long way from a comfortable enough insurance policy to send Forte packing.

As good as the line was on the run – particularly Vladimir Ducasse and Kyle Long – they were mediocre in pass protection, and Ducasse is a real liability in that facet of the game.

Matt Slauson continued to

impress, moving seamlessly from guard to center and back.

Wide receiver play was again below average at best, and it’s time they all started begging offensive coordinator Adam Gase to mothball the bubble screen before somebody gets killed.

The front seven on defense was solid with John Timu and Jonathan Anderson in particular raising some cautious optimism at inside linebacker. Both were aggressive and explosive, which has been lacking at that position all season, enough so they demand another look against the Lions.

Adrian Amos struggled a bit for the third week in a row, and Kyle Fuller and Tracy Porter were average-to-mediocre, but Harold Jones-Quartey was active, exciting and, like the rookie linebackers, demands anoth-

er look this Sunday.

For 60 minutes in Tampa, Jones-Quartey was more effective than Antrel Rolle was at any point this season before his knee injury.

Robbie Gould had a big bounce-back game, perfect on four field goal attempts and allowing only one kickoff return, but Pat O’Donnell suffered a punter’s worst nightmare, a punt blocked, which led to a touchdown, because of a huge breakdown in his protection.

When the special teams are directly accountable for points allowed, their day is a failure.

Fortunately for them, this was a day for the defense to keep taking the ball away, which can cover a lot of ills.

Mother wants her children to value character over beauty Dear Abby : All children are beautiful to their parents. My three children are of mixed race and get a lot of attention because of it.

The boys are aloof about random compliments they receive from strangers.

However, I’m worried about the pressure it may put on my daughter to be “pretty.”

I care more about my daughter’s character than her looks, but I’m concerned if I say that to these people, it will come off as rude.

Also, I don’t want her to think I don’t think she’s pretty. How can I respond in a way that isn’t rude to well-intentioned strangers, but at the same time allows me to make a statement

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips about the importance of character over beauty? –

Mom Of Beauties Dear Mom : When some-

one exclaims your child is beautiful, accept the compliment and say something like this: “Yes, my child is beautiful, but more important, she is beautiful on the inside.” It will reinforce the message to your daughter character is equally, if not more important, than physical beauty.

Dear Abby : Isn’t the rule of etiquette when a gift is given, it belongs to the

recipient?

My mother sends gifts to our infant daughter. She is the first grandbaby, and my mother is a doting grandparent.

My question is what should happen when my child outgrows the items – clothing, shoes, toys, etc.

My mother expects me to put them all in a storage bin and return them to her.

There have been times when I have packed up things to give to friends who have younger daughters than ours, or taken them to a resale shop. My mother then becomes upset I’m not returning the items to her.

She is saving them for my sister, who isn’t even

pregnant yet.

While I have no issue with saving some things for a potential niece, my friends need these things now, and I feel strange essentially being obligated to return them. Is my mom out of line?

It’s off-putting to receive a gift that comes with a return clause. – Confused In

er might be, she is out of line to demand everything she has given be returned to her. (What will she do if your sister has only boys?)

Dear Abby : When I’m dining out, sometimes the flatware is wrapped and banded in a large paper napkin. Do I use this napkin for cleaning myself, or do I ask for more napkins? –

your mother not only is a doting grandma, but also someone who is determined to get a double bang for her buck. Once given, a gift does belong to the recipient.

Otherwise, it’s not a gift but a loan.

And yes, however well-intentioned your moth-

napkin in your lap, and if you would like to have more, do not hesitate to ask your server. It is not a breach of etiquette to do so.

Central Texas Dear Confused : It appears

Dear Dr. K: I know my child is supposed to get a flu shot each year. But how much good does it really do, and is it safe?

Dear Reader: Every fall and winter, parents face the question: Should my child get an influenza (flu) shot?

There are several important reasons why children older than 6 months should get a flu shot every year: • Influenza can be dangerous, even for healthy children.

Flu can be dangerous for children, particularly those with asthma, diabetes or other chronic health problems. But

ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff even healthy children can get very sick – and possibly die – from influenza. The H1N1 “swine flu” virus that has been circulating since the epidemic of 2009-10 is particularly dangerous for children.

• You can’t catch the flu from a flu shot. The flu shot, given by needle, contains virus that has been killed. Despite misconceptions some parents have, the flu shot cannot infect your child and cause the flu.

There now is a nasal spray flu vaccine made with weakened (but still alive) flu virus,

for children who hate shots.

While nasal congestion and a low-grade fever can occur (in about one in 20 children), the illness is milder and briefer than the flu. If your child is between 6 months and 2 years or has a weakened immune system, however, he or she should get the flu shot, not the nasal spray vaccine.

Some children (and adults) who get the flu shot also get a mild fever, an aching muscle where the flu shot was given and feel tired for a day or so.

That’s not because the shot gave them the flu; it’s a sign their immune system is responding vigorously to the shot.

That’s good news, because that’s what we want the immune system to do.

• The flu shot is safe. Years of experience have shown the flu vaccine is very safe. There is no evidence thimerosal, a common vaccine preservative, is dangerous for children. But preservative-free preparations are available.

A particular flu vaccine used in 1976 did seem to cause a few cases of the neurological condition called Guillain-Barre syndrome. But this same condition can follow getting the flu itself. Indeed, it happens more often after the flu than after getting a flu shot.

Since the flu shot protects against the flu, your child is less likely to get this rare condition if they get the flu vaccine.

• The flu shot protects more

than your child. Children are germ-producing machines.

Your child may weather the flu fine – but what about others who could catch the flu from your child?

Although there are a few unusual circumstances in which your pediatrician might recommend against a flu shot, the flu shot almost always is a safe treatment.

It is not too late to get the shot: Flu season will continue for another three months.

And the shot can make all the difference in your child’s health.

‘Wild’ teen must seek honest communication with mother Dr. Wallace: My problem is my mom is trying to totally run my life.

Her reason probably is my older sister was no angel.

She was into everything from staying out late at wild parties, to sex, booze and smoking pot. So now my mom is really trying to prevent me from having any fun at all, and I’m tired of being a goody-goody.

I do have a couple of friends who are thought of as a bit wild, but we all are popular and have fun.

Sometimes we go to parties (my mom thinks I’m just over at a friend’s house) and once in a while I drink a little, but I know when to stop and pop a couple of peppermints.

How can I get my mother to just leave me alone to have a little fun? – Nameless, St.

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace

Louis Nameless: Your mother

I’m only 15, and my mother is all hyped up because she saw me kissing this guy who is 16, but looks a bit older.

Now I’m grounded for two weeks, and she wants me to promise I won’t see this guy again. I really like this guy and even though I promised, I will see him again because he throws great parties.

My mom also doesn’t like me to hang around the teen hangout (no drinks are allowed there) because there are too many boys there. Of course there are, that’s why my girlfriends and I go there.

HOROSCOPE

loves you and wants only what is best for you, and would prefer you were not a “wild child” like your older sister.

I can see extracting promises from you would have no effect because you would have no intention of keeping them. Nor would grounding work for you. This only will cause your relationship with your mother to deteriorate further.

If your mother had written for advice regarding your behavior, I would have recommended she do everything in her power to

TODAY – Broaden your horizons and explore new territory.

If you focus on diversity, you will utilize your skills to the fullest. This is a year of opportunity, but it’s up to you to take advantage of what comes your way. Now is the time to make personal improvements and gains.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Don’t waste time arguing when you should be expanding your interests and looking for investments and projects that are exciting, challenging and beneficial to your career.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Partnerships should be questioned if you feel apprehensive. Make a point to go over your options and not only look at the facts, but follow your heart as well.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Keep an open mind, but don’t let anyone talk you into something that doesn’t feel right.

Offer suggestions, but refrain from making cash donations or lending money or possessions.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Listen carefully before you offer your opinion. You’ll end up in an argument if you are too quick to judge. Put more effort into personal gains than into helping someone else advance.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Business meetings, interviews or updating your resume will pay off. A short trip will result in knowledge that will help you advance. Romance is in the stars.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Someone’s motives will be questionable. Don’t do something just because someone else does.

Pick and choose what you want to do based on your skills.

Practicality and reason will help you avoid loss.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Partnerships, your personal environment and the initiation of unusual but beneficial changes are highlighted. A discussion with someone you love will lead to solid plans. Romance will spice up your life.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Don’t be afraid to ask for help. A new acquaintance will make a difference to the way you approach someone or something that can alter your personal or professional future. Embrace change.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Socializing, networking or checking out an interesting project will help you come to an important decision. Positive changes at home can be expected if you are up front about what you want.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – If you volunteer to help a cause you believe in, the people you encounter will brighten your day and encourage you to make the changes that you’ve been putting off making.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – An emotional situation will be a telltale sign regarding the way someone feels about you.

Listen, but don’t respond until you have a solid suggestion or compromise.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Stick close to home and work toward making your surroundings more convenient and comfortable. Avoid taking on responsibilities that don’t belong to you. React from the heart.

improve communication with you, including seeing a family counselor or therapist with you. This person could help her set reasonable limits for you that you will honor and respect.

However, since you’re the one who wrote the letter, I only can ask you to take the initiative to improve your relationship with your mom.

She is right (and deep in your heart, you know it) to want to rein you in and control your “little wildness,” which is a bit much for a 15-year-old.

You did not mention how your older sister’s life has turned out, but it probably is not as successful and happy as it should have been.

My hope for you and your mother is an honest “moth-

Instead, have an honest discussion in order to reach a reasonable compromise with Mom: Some partying is OK, but sex, drinking and drugs are off limits. And homework should be completed on a regular basis.

You are heading for a life full of trouble and misery if you do not have limits on your behavior. I feel if you didn’t understand this instinctively, you wouldn’t have contacted me.

CROSSWORD

Do you go this way or turn that way?

As Yogi Berra nearly said, when you come to a fork in the road, turn left or right.

When defending at the bridge table, you often will be wondering whether you should turn left or right. How do you decide?

First, work out what holdings partner needs to make each choice the winner, and consider whether either is consistent with the auction and play so far.

In this deal, for example, East has to choose a play at trick four. South is in four hearts. West leads the diamond king, under which East encourages with his 10. West continues with the diamond jack and diamond queen. East overtakes the queen with his ace and, when declarer follows throughout, what should East do next?

North used Stayman. He planned, if South had rebid two diamonds, to jump to three hearts, employing the Smolen convention, to show five spades, four hearts and game-forcing values. But when South indicated four hearts, North jumped to game in that suit.

East could shift to his singleton spade, hoping partner could win with the ace and give him a ruff for down two.

Or East could lead his last diamond, hoping to generate a trump trick.

As always, check the points. The dummy holds 11, East has five, and West has already produced six. That leaves 18 unaccounted for, but South showed 15-17 with his opening bid. So, West has only 1-3 more points. As he cannot have the spade ace, East should lead his fourth diamond. When West ruffs with his heart king, and dummy overruffs with the ace, East takes a trump trick.
