DeKalb tries to cope with aftermath By KATIE DAHLSTROM kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com

Police Department announced that a search of Arison’s computer uncovered thousands of images of child pornography that had been downloaded, Theriault said. He said it did not appear the material had been manufactured in the community. Countryman said Arison substituted for 20 days in Sycamore schools this school year – nine days at Southeast Elementary, seven days at South

DeKALB – The trust between Rebecca Sager and DeKalb School District 428 has been breached, but she’s still trying to cope with the recent sex abuse charges filed against a substitute teacher. Sager was one of about 70 parents and teachers gathered in the DeKalb High School commons Wednesday at a meeting for parents of students in District 428’s Early Learning and Development Center to talk about allegations that former substitute teacher Andrew J. Arison had sexually abused and assaulted children in the program. “Monsters exist everywhere,” Sager said. “They get wherever they need to go. They’re very smart. All you can try to do is remain vigilant. And even then it happens.” District 428 Superintendent Doug Moeller started the parent night by saying there were no words that could console the parents grappling with the allegations. He went on to say the teachers within the district had been shaken by the incidents as well. Moeller said teachers trusted Arison and considered him an excellent substitute. “There are literally dozens and dozens of our teachers who felt so comfortable with this person that they put them on the

Alison Castillo, a parent of a child in the early childhood special education program at South Prairie Elementary School, voices her concern and displeasure during a meeting for parents and the Sycamore Police Department on Wednesday at Sycamore Middle School. The recent events regarding the sexual assault, sexual abuse and possession of child pornography charges against 36-year-old substitute teacher Andrew J. Arison drew concerned parents to the meeting to find out more information.

District 427 officials try to clarify Arison timeline By ADAM POULISSE apoulisse@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – Sickening. Angry. Frustrated. Betrayed. Terrifying. Those were some of the words parent Alison Castillo used during a special meeting between police, school officials and concerned parents in light of the recent events involving predatory and sexual abuse charges against substitute teacher Andrew J. Arison. “I wanted a better expla-

nation as to why I wasn’t contacted personally with the fact this man was around my son,” said Castillo, whose 5-year-old son is in the early childhood special education program at Sycamore School District 427’s South Prairie Elementary School. About 40 parents and teachers gathered at Sycamore Middle School to hear Sycamore Police Chief Glenn Theriault and District 427 Superintendent Kathy Countryman address concerns about the sit-

Rod Swartzendruber also were on hand. “This is just an utterly disgusting case,” Theriault said. “We’re cops, but there’s another thing every one of us [is] – parents, and we had the same

reaction everyone else has.” Arison, 36, of the 1700 block of Maness Court in Sycamore, is being held in DeKalb County jail on $4.5 million bond. He is facing charges including aggravated criminal sexual abuse, predatory criminal sexual assault of a child, and possession of child pornography. The most serious charge, predatory criminal sexual assault of a child, carries a penalty of six to 30 years in prison. Wednesday’s meeting came only hours after the Sycamore

Ex-congressman’s son LaHood to vie for Schock’s seat in U.S. House By KERRY LESTER The Associated Press PEORIA – The son of former White House cabinet member Ray LaHood emerged as the leading contender Wednesday to replace U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock, as two other potential candidates abandoned thoughts of seeking the seat that is coming open after a spending scandal forced the Illinois congressman’s abrupt resignation. State Sen. Darin LaHood, a

Republican whose father held the central Illinois seat before Schock and then served as President Barack Obama’s transportation secretary, announced that he would seek the seat Wednesday morning during an appearance on a radio show in Peoria, where his family has resided for decades. “This is an opportunity that doesn’t come around very often,” LaHood said, saying he had received “a lot of encouragement” to make a bid for the

post in the hours that followed Schock’s announcement Tuesday. LaHood, 46, said he plans to campaign on his record as a former state and federal prosecutor, and on his record as a Sen. Darin fiscal conservaLaHood tive who advocated for ethics reform. He told The Associat-

ed Press he considers himself more conservative than his father, a Republican who served under a Democratic president and organized bipartisan retreats to foster cooperation. “We tend to disagree sometimes,” he said. “I’ve got a conservative voting record here, a strong record in the senate, so I’ll stand on that.” Two other GOP state senators – Jason Barickman and Bill Brady – were considering bids, but both said they had

decided against running in a special election that Gov. Bruce Rauner will call after Schock leaves office March 31. It must be held within 120 days, meaning voters will select a replacement by the end of July. A number of GOP officials moved quickly to support LaHood’s candidacy in Illinois’ 18th district, which is predominantly Republican, while others wanted the dust to settle before backing a Schock replacement.

publican Party chairman Pat Brady said officials likely will be looking for someone who carries a different image than Schock as the district tries to rebound. “I think Darin does fit that bill,” Brady said. “He’s thoughtful, appeals to people on both sides and within the Republican party and has a great name. The district needs most to get this over with quickly and have someone who’s widely respected.”

Frats under fire for bad behavior The Associated Press Racist chants. Nude photos of unconscious women. A criminal investigation into hazing. Fraternities around the country seem to be coming under fire as never before over behavior that would shock the frat boys of “Animal House.” Despite a major national push to reduce drinking and sexual assault on campus and increase diversity, some fraternity chapters have failed to clean up their acts. Universities and the fraternities’ national offices are quickly

punishing the offenders amid more promises of reform. Some critics blame popular culture, saying it’s making fraternities essentially ungovernable. “There’s this underlying acceptance that boys will be boys, this is fraternity life and this is what you have to accept when you walk through the doors of a fraternity,” Ellen Kramer, legal director of the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Domestic Violence, said Wednesday. Defenders of fraternities said they do a lot of good work on campus and the focus on their misconduct is misguid-

ed. Bad behavior inside the walls of a frat house – or on campus generally – is nothing new, of course. Alcohol, immaturity and freedom from parents have been a potentially troublesome combination for generations of undergrads. But the incidents at the University of Oklahoma and Penn State, in particular, have stunned many and happened despite heavy scrutiny of misconduct at colleges. At Penn State, police are investigating allegations members of Kappa Delta Rho used a private Facebook page to post photos of nude and

A former member told police the invitation-only page was used to share photos of “unsuspecting victims, drug sales and hazing,” according to court documents. The Facebook posts were “very sad and very offensive,” Penn State President Eric Barron said Wednesday, adding that students could be expelled. Referring to Penn State’s fraternity system, Barron added: “It’s just unfortunately a large system with some very fine young men and some men who are not doing smart things.”

Donley’s auction to highlight the Grateful Dead By JAMI KUNZER

Daily Chronicle and Daily-Chronicle.com are a division of Shaw Media.

jkunzer@shawmedia.com Randy Donley motioned toward a kitchen table and chairs in the Union banquet hall he’s slowly turning into an auction house. The family’s Wild West Town next door, he’d stored much of his latest treasure down a couple of hallways, through some swinging doors. A Grateful Dead fan’s mecca awaited inside. “Here, sit in one of Jerry’s chairs,” Donley said, referring to, of course, the legendary Jerry Garcia, who led the band from the 1960s until his death in 1995. It was a basic kitchen chair, nothing extraordinary, stationed next to a round, glass table. But it once sat in the San Rafael, California, house the band used as an office. This is where the band had morning coffee, planned their strategy, Donley said. Nearby, he pointed toward a green-cushioned, antique lion-footed Morris chair on a patterned area rug. “The staff referred to this as Jerry’s throne,” Donley said of the chair, also once housed in the office home. The items, collected from former employees and friends of the band, aren’t even intended as the biggest draw of an upcoming auction Donley is hosting April 11 and 12 through Donley Auction Services. But they – along with other memorabilia, such as the range Garcia cooked on, a filing cabinet taken as-is and adorned with a “Music is a deep cleansing agent” magnet, Garcia’s Colt .25 pistol, a

Randy Donley of Donley Auction Services holds a collectible while going through a Grateful Dead collection at Donley Auction Services in Union. Donley Auction Services plans to auction the collection of Grateful Dead collectibles next month before the remaining members of band play three final sold-out shows at Soldier Field in Chicago to mark the band’s 50th year. Items include everything from Jerry Garcia’s office furniture and musical instruments to books, posters and other items. couple of his harmonicas, the book he was reading the night he died (“The Celestine Prophecy”) and the black T-shirt he wore during his last concert at Soldier Field in 1995 – are the most intriguing to Donley. Some have been stored away, collecting dust for years. “This is all the real deal, the original stuff,” Donley said. “Where would you ever begin to find all this? This is not stuff you find somewhere in a relic shop.” Plans for the massive Grateful Dead Family Jubilee Auction at Donley’s Auction Services, 8512 S. Union Road, Union, were in motion long

before any knowledge of the band’s upcoming “Fare Thee Well: Celebrating 50 Years of Grateful Dead” reunion concert this July at Soldier Field. The fact that both events are taking place this year is sheer coincidence, said those involved. Dennis McNally, the band’s publicist for two decades who helped organize the auction, didn’t even think a reunion concert would happen. “I was discussing the idea of a 50th anniversary concert with another person who had worked for the band longer than I did, and we solemnly agreed it would just be too

complicated, and there was no way they were going to put it together,” he said. “Shows you what we know.” McNally said the auction should appeal to both highend collectors and basic fans. A limited number of $25 tickets are available to attend and must be bought ahead of time at www.gratefuldeadchicago. acution, where details on the entire collection are available. Along with the personal items are an assortment of band posters, photographs, paintings, postcards, backstage passes, album covers, awards and more.

Even with hiring up, Fed wants further gains before rate hike By MARTIN CRUTSINGER The Associated Press WASHINGTON – After holding interest rates at record lows for more than six years, the Federal Reserve still isn’t ready to start raising them. The Fed signaled Wednesday that it needs the job market to improve further and inflation to rise above low levels before it begins nudging borrowing rates up. Even then, it suggested it will do so only very gradually. The statement the Fed issued after its latest policy meeting seemed to catch investors by surprise in suggesting that a rate increase might be further off than many had assumed. Stock prices

jumped, and bond yields fell. The Dow Jones industrial average, which had been down nearly 100 points before the statement was issued, closed up 227 points, or 1.3 percent. The yield on the 10year Treasury note, which influences long-term mortgage rates, tumbled from 2.04 percent just before the Fed’s announcement to 1.92 percent. In its statement and later Janet Yellen in Chair Janet Yellen’s news conference, the Fed expressed concerns despite the economy’s steady growth. Yellen pointed to lower energy prices and a surging U.S. dollar,

which is helping keep inflation excessively low and posing a threat to U.S. corporate profits and possibly to the economy. A Fed rate increase would likely send the dollar even higher. At the same time, the Fed at least opened the door to a rate increase later this year by no longer saying it will be “patient” in starting to raise its benchmark rate. Complicating its decision is that other big central banks – from Europe to Japan to India – are either cutting rates or embarking on stimulus programs to try to boost their struggling economies. At her news conference, Yellen stressed that while the Fed had removed “patient” to describe its approach to

raising rates, it still hadn’t decided when to begin raising them. “Just because we removed the word ‘patient’ from the statement,” Yellen said, “doesn’t mean we’re going to be impatient.” The Fed has kept its key short-term rate near zero since late 2008 to try to bolster the economy after a devastating financial crisis and recession. In its statement, the Fed noted that the economy, which it previously said was growing solidly, has “moderated somewhat.” Patrick Maldari, a senior fixed-income specialist at Aberdeen Asset Management, said the Fed appears to be in no hurry to raise short-term rates.

Police: Arison had child pornography By ADAM POULISSE apoulisse@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – A substitute teacher already facing sexual abuse and assault charges was charged Wednesday with possession of child pornography after police found several thousand images on his computer, authorities said. Andrew J. Arison, 36, of the 1700 block of Maness Court in Sycamore, was charged with 10 counts of possession of child pornography, a class two felony. His bond was increased by $1 million Wednesday to $4.5

Up to 6 face charges after police sweep DAILY CHRONICLE DEKALB – Up to six people could face new criminal charges after DeKalb police conducted a compliance check on 25 parolees and registered sex offenders last week. Police said one registered sex offender was found to not have properly disclosed information required at his registration and could be charged with failing to register as a sex offender. Police are investigating the case, which will be reviewed by the DeKalb County State’s Attorney’s Office. Four others on Mandatory Supervised Release were found with small amounts of marijuana or drug paraphernalia. All four could face charges including possession of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia, according to a news release. During another check, police seized a firearm, but the weapon did not belong to the parolee. Police are still investigating that case and charges are pending, police said. DeKalb police randomly conduct compliance checks on all parolees on Mandatory Supervised Release and sex offenders living in the city, the release said. The Sycamore Police Department and the Northern Illinois University Police Department assisted in the checks.

DeKalb police respond to fight call, arrest man on gun charge By DARIA SOKOLOVA dsokolova@shawmedia.com DeKALB – A DeKalb man who was arrested on charge of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon Wednesday is scheduled to appear in DeKalb County Circuit Court on Thursday. Donta L. Murphy, 25, of the 1000 block of Arcadia Drive in DeKalb, was charged with aggravated unlawful use of a weapon and no firearm owner’s identification card. The most serious charge, aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, is typically punishable by probation or three to seven years in prison. According to court records, DeKalb police responded to a fight and found several people arguing at the corner of Blackhawk Road and Ridge Drive shortly after 2 a.m. Wednesday. A black Nissan was parked nearby, and Murphy told police that he drove the vehicle to the scene to pick up some friends, court records show. Police found a black semi-automatic Hi-Point pistol on the driver’s floorboard of the Nissan, according to court records. The pistol was loaded, but there was no round in the chamber. Murphy also didn’t have a valid FOID card, court records show. Murphy remained in DeKalb County Jail on Wednesday unable to post 10 percent of his $75,000 bond.

million. He remains in custody at the DeKalb County Jail, and would be required to post $450,000 to be released. Sycamore police seized equipment from Arison’s home Thursday while assisting Andrew J. DeKalb police Arison in a separate investigation involving Arison’s alleged inappropriate contact with students. An initial examination of Arison’s computer equipment

revealed several thousand images, according to a news release. “At this time, it appears it was in his possession and not manufactured [by Arison],” Sycamore Police Chief Glenn Theriault said. “However, we’re still investigating.” Arison was first arrested Thursday and charged with aggravated criminal sexual abuse. Police said Arison had inappropriate contact with two students while working as a substitute March 11 at Huntley Middle School. A witness reported the incident to

police, DeKalb School District 428 Superintendent Doug Moeller previously told the Daily Chronicle. The next day, Arison substituted at Southeast Elementary School in Sycamore School District 427, district officials said. They said they were not aware of the March 11 incident. Theriault said police received a call from DeKalb police at 2:35 p.m. March 12 notifying them of the situation, and that they went to the school to arrest Arison 10 minutes later.

In an interview with police after he was arrested, Arison admitted to the inappropriate contact, DeKalb police Lt. Bob Redel has said. Prosecutors later charged Arison with two additional counts of predatory criminal sexual assault of a child, a more serious crime that carries a sentence of six to 30 years in prison, for having inappropriate contact with another DeKalb student during the 2013-14 school year. Arison has worked as a a substitute teacher and aide at schools throughout DeKalb

Replacing boiler stalls other D-428 projects By KATIE DAHLSTROM kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com DeKALB – DeKalb School District 428’s Jefferson Elementary School is getting a new boiler and air conditioning system for about $1.2 million. Board members unanimously approved the project at Tuesday’s meeting, knowing it will put on hold some other air conditioning and maintenance projects throughout the district. “This is what I consider to be the most important project on the table,” Director of Facility Operations Tammy Carson said. Carson explained the 57-year-old boiler has already undergone numerous repairs and failed several times. Because of the age of the boiler, she said, those repairs can be costly and time-consuming. In

“This is what I consider to be the most important project on the table.” Tammy Carson Director of Facility Operations

the past three weeks alone, the district has spent more than $10,000 in parts and labor for repairs. “During the colder weather, we’ve had it down six to eight times to where we have come into the building through additional building checks or first thing in the morning and the boiler is off when it should be continually running so that we have adequate temperatures,” Carson said. To pay for the new boiler and addition of a chiller, the district will use $600,000 from its life safety fund and the re-

maining roughly $600,000 will come from the operations and maintenance budget. It will cost an additional $3,500 annually to operate, she said. Board member Cohen Barnes questioned whether the staff had taken into consideration a $500,000 cut from the operations and maintenance budget that the staff had suggested to accommodate the one-to-one technology program costs, which will total $8.5 million over the next five years. The staff did account for the cut, Assistant Superintendent of Business and Finance An-

drea Gorla said. They also realized the boiler replacement will mean other projects have to wait. The district received bids for air conditioning at Huntley Middle School and Founders Elementary School. Together those projects would have cost $1.2 million. Also, Carson had planned to bring bids for seal coating and asphalt projects, but said she would not because of budget constraints. Board President Tracy Williams voiced support for the project, thanking Carson for her diligence. “We know it is your priority and justifiably so for the kids at Jefferson that were cold on a few days or wondering if school was going to start,” Williams said. “We don’t want to be in the spot next winter where we don’t have a spot for the kids at Jefferson to go.”

Chicago City Council passes Obama library ordinance By DON BABWIN The Associated Press

North Elementary School third-grader Luke Chaplin reacts while assembling a remote Wednesday during robotics class of the Mass Customized Learning period.

Customized learning allows students to explore in lessons By DARIA SOKOLOVA dsokolova@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Fifth-grader Trent DuMont was one of the first to finish his robot, so he spent the rest of his time helping other students during the fifth day of Mass Customized Learning at North Elementary School in Sycamore. “I like to take things apart that are electric,” said Trent while he was helping his schoolmates take motors out of used electronic appliances. From March 10 through today, three days a week, North Elementary School students from kindergarten through fifth-grade have attended sessions ranging from cooking, painting, robotics and computers, an obstacle course, Illinois wildlife, music and drama, table-top bags game and calligraphy. “We were just piling it [up] trying to get to see how it would work to put all these kids together and what we could get out of it and how we could integrate it into a curriculum,” said Kathy Horan, a receptionist at North

Elementary School who showed visitors around on Wednesday. During the robot session Wednesday, 42 students took apart numerous electronic devices including old Xbox video game systems, stereos, DVD players, remote controls, and phones. They also built their own robots and presented their ideas to schoolmates. Fourth-graders Sydney DuBois and Daniel Bos were trying to fix an old radio. Sydney said she liked the session because it gave her a chance to be creative. “I like to build things and take things apart, it’s one of my favorite things,” she said. “When [Sydney] found out she had robotics, she was like going crazy,” said another fourth-grader Olivia Berg, who was watching Sydney and Daniel do the work. At the “cooking up a storm” session, students made pudding pies, muffins and learned manners and etiquette from Liz Bockman, the owner of Everyday Etiquette in Sycamore. “If kids can have self-control and self-respect, especially in a school setting, a lot more aca-

demic learning can take place,” Bockman said. “We are developing the character, and that character is going to be the foundation of individual success both personally and professionally.” Horan said the school already has set up new customized learning sessions for the coming fall. “We have got all new ideas,” she said. “So it will be something new for the kids and we hope to do it at least twice next year.” Jennifer Parsons,a fifthgrade teacher who was giving students lard, peanut butter and bird seed for their bird feeder project during the Illinois wildlife session, said MCL has been the most exciting two weeks of this school year. “I can’t wait to do this again, each year,” she said. “We are going to try to bring in more community members, so they can have more class offerings for the kids and do it several times during the year instead of just one. This is just our baby step with it and everyone is super excited about it.”

CHICAGO – With President Barack Obama saying he wants to build his library in Chicago but that “some entanglements” might stand in the way, the City Council voted to do away with the only entanglement many said they knew about – voting to give the city control of two pieces of park land so it can be used for the library if the president wants it. Approval of the ordinance proposed by Mayor Rahm Emanuel was widely expected. But the 47-0 vote came after aldermen implored each other to vote in favor of the measure to transfer 20 acres of land at either Jackson Park or Washington Park – crucial to the bid by the University of Chicago – as a way to send a clear message to the White House that the city firmly supports bringing the library to the president’s hometown. “The road to the White House began in Chicago,” said Alderman Pat Dowell. The vote came after the Chicago Tribune reported that the president said over the weekend that he wanted his library in Chicago. While Obama didn’t detail what “entanglements” he referred to, his comments followed concerns raised by the Barack Obama Foundation, which is screening proposals, about the Uni-

versity of Chicago’s inability to assure access to land where it wants to build the library in either park near campus. “That was the only entanglement we had,” said the mayor. “That issue has been addressed.” The vote also came at the right time for the mayor – days before the April 7 runoff election against Cook County Commissioner Jesus ‘Chuy’ Garcia. Emanuel was dealt what was widely seen as a political blow when it was reported that the Obamas would delay a decision until after the election. But Wednesday’s vote came as the mayor is trying to court black voters, many of whom support building the library on the city’s South Side or the University of Illinois at Chicago’s bid to build it on the West Side, in large part because the library would be an economic boon to distressed communities. The foundation, in a statement, called the vote “an encouraging step for the University of Chicago proposal.” Emanuel has implied that if he loses to Garcia it could jeopardize the bids by the University of Chicago and the University of Illinois at Chicago and offer an advantage to bids from the University of Hawaii or Columbia University in New York. He did so again on Wednesday.

BRIEFS Japan investigates threats to Kennedy TOKYO – Japanese police are investigating phone calls threatening to kill U.S. Ambassador Caroline Kennedy and another American envoy, authorities said Wednesday. The calls to the U.S. Embassy targeted Kennedy and Alfred Magleby, the U.S. consul general on the southern island of Okinawa, according to an Okinawa police official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to comment on an investigation by Tokyo authorities. Kennedy, the daughter of late President John F. Kennedy, arrived in Tokyo in November 2013 as the first woman to serve as U.S. ambassador to Japan. She was appointed by President Barack Obama after helping with his re-election campaign. Tokyo police declined to comment on the threats. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the U.S. government takes threats to American diplomats seriously.

Sycamore Police Chief Glenn Theriault addresses concerned parents Wednesday about the recent events regarding the sexual assault, sexual abuse and possession of child pornography charges against 36-yearold substitute teacher Andrew J. Arison during a meeting at Sycamore Middle School.

Police: No contact victims of Arison identified in Sycamore • MEETING Continued from page A1 Prairie Elementary School, three days at North Grove Elementary School, and one day at West Elementary School. Theriault said the investigation has not identified any victims from Sycamore schools. “I don’t believe we have contact victims at this point and time,” he said. “We’re all victims in this, but in terms of a child that has had physical contact in a chargeable offense, I don’t believe we have that here.” Theriault opened the discussion by clarifying the timeline of the events, which he said have raised eyebrows in the media and the public. Theriault clarified police were not alerted to the situation until 2:35 p.m. Thursday, a day after Arison was spotted acting inappropriately with a student at Huntley Middle School in DeKalb. He was arrested 10 minutes

later at Southeast Elementary School, Theriault said. “Nice thing is, when we got there at the school, he was actually not in contact with the kids,” Theriault said. “He had been working in the principal’s office for the past couple of hours. That was the first thing, make sure the kids are safe.” Theriault and Countryman took turns answering questions from the audience. Someone asked about the protocol for substitutes coming to schools. Countryman said they are handled by the Regional Office of Education. “Many substitutes with the regional office will pick all of the districts or a few of the districts that are in close proximity to where they live,” Countryman said. “Every county has the opportunity to sign up.” Many parents said Arison was well-regarded among their children, and referred to him as “Mr. Awesome.” Castillo brought passion to the event, which did not draw

asked but said nothing else before Judge Nicholas Garaufis in a New York federal courthouse. His attorney, Michael K. Schneider, entered the plea on his behalf. He declined to address reporters after the brief court appearance. Pugh, 47, of Neptune, New Jersey, was indicted Tuesday on charges of attempting to provide material support to a terrorist group and obstructing justice. He was stopped at a Turkish airport in January carrying a laptop containing information on Turkey-Syria border crossing points as well as 180 jihadist propaganda videos, including one featuring an Islamic State prisoner beheading, according to an indictment.

Bush served on board of firm facing lawsuits

WASHINGTON – While preparing a run for the White House, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush made headlines by resigning from several corporate positions at year’s end. Less noticed: One of the companies where he served on the Air Force vet pleads not guilty to federal charges board, Florida timber company NEW YORK – A U.S. Air Force Rayonier Inc., faced a flurry of lawsuits not long before his veteran and former airplane exit. mechanic charged with One case alleges a company attempting to join the Islamic facility in Georgia violated the State group in Syria pleaded not guilty Wednesday to terror- Clean Water Act and contaminated the Altamaha River, ism charges. and five others suits filed by A bearded Tairod Nathan investors contend the compaWebster Pugh, wearing prison-issued khaki pants and ny made false and misleading statements that caused them a blue short-sleeved shirt, repeated his full name when losses.

as large a crowd as some officials expected. Castillo scolded Countryman for how the district did not immediately notify the parents. Countryman said officials followed the procedure to first identify the classroom where the situations took place, then working with police in an investigation.. Castillo said her answers were “not satisfying.” “There’s definitely no trust in the school right now and the ones who are in charge of this because I expected more from Sycamore schools because I know the high standard that they hold, and it’s very disappointing,” Castillo said. One parent said a phone call should have been made just as the district does when there’s a snow day, much to the audience’s agreement. Castillo said the school district needed to have better communication. “I think [Countryman is] overwhelmed with the situation,” Castillo said. “I understand that.”

Bush is not named as a defendant in the cases, but he is listed among Rayonier board members in court papers filed in the Georgia environmental case. The lawsuits could renew questions about the former Florida governor’s stewardship in the corporate world as he aspires to step back into public office. At least four times, Bush served on the board of companies sued by investors or the government.

NYPD Sgt. who never took sick day in career dies NEW YORK – A New York Police Department sergeant who never took a sick day in his 42-year career has died, weeks shy of his retirement. Sgt. Francis “Buddy” Murnane was just weeks away from his 63rd birthday when he died Sunday after an apparent heart attack at his home. The NYPD said he was its longest-serving active officer. “He wasn’t just my big brother,” said Terence Murnane, a retired NYPD detective. “He was my best friend. He was also the person I went to whenever I was stumped on a case because he had seen and done it all so many times. He always knew the answer.” Murnane worked on almost every major case in the past 20 years, including the 2011 killing of Brooklyn Officer Peter Figoski and the fatal stabbing of a 6-year-old boy in an elevator last summer, according to the New York Post.

Arison could face six to 30 years in prison if convicted • DeKALB Continued from page A1 preference list,” Moeller said. It was another staff member at the Early Learning Development Center who saw Arison, 36, of the 1700 block of Maness Court, inappropriately touching two students younger than the age of 13 March 11. The staff member reported it March 12, development center Director Lisa Gorchels explained Wednesday. “We didn’t have the information,” Gorchels said. “That’s when the person came forward and processed it.” Arison was a substitute at Southeast Elementary School in Sycamore School District 427 the next day, school officials said. DeKalb police Lt. Bob Redel said police were notified about what the staff member had seen just after 1 p.m. March 12. But police said it wasn’t the first time Arison had inappropriate contact with a DeKalb student. On Monday, police filed more serious charges of predatory criminal sexual assault of a child against Arison,

alleging he had inappropriate contact with a third early childhood student during the 2013-14 school year. Arison also faces felony charges after police uncovered thousands of images of child pornography on his computer, none of which are believed to be of local children, Redel said. Arison could face six to 30 years in prison if convicted of the most serious charge of predatory criminal sexual assault of a child. Gorchels and Moeller were joined by officials from Safe Passage, Court Appointed Special Advocates of DeKalb County, the Children’s Advocacy Center, faith leaders and school social workers and physiologists. The information they presented wasn’t enough for early-childhood parent Steven Stein, who wanted to know more about what the witness reported. “I’m not asking for a name,” Stein said. “I’m not asking for any details. I’m asking for what specifically was done that was seen.” Some parents – many of them crying – questioned how it was possible for Arison to

get into the school system. Regional Superintendent Amanda Christensen explained that he would have had to undergo a fingerprint background check conducted by the Illinois State Police and FBI. Arison had a professional teacher’s license and a bachelor’s degree, which allowed him to substitute teach after being screened by her office, Christensen said. Redel told parents that there was no way for DeKalb officials to know that Arison was a predator. “There is nothing the school district could do to prevent this,” Redel said. With the past week’s revelations, school officials said they will provide counseling for students and police are interviewing students. They also plan to host two more meetings for parents throughout the district. At the early childhood center, Gorchels said her staff is trying to maintain status quo. “What we are doing is to keep the routine as much as possible for the students,” Gorchels said. “So they can continue to learn in the environment as 3- to-5-year-olds.”

Administration cool toward Netanyahu win By JULIE PACE The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The Obama administration signaled Wednesday it could take a tougher stance toward Benjamin Netanyahu following his decisive Israeli election victory and campaign tack to the right, saying there will be consequences for his sudden reversal on the idea of an independent Palestinian state. While senior American officials said the administration was still evaluating options, Benjamin they suggested the U.S. could Netanyahu ease its staunch opposition to Palestinians turning to the UN Security Council to create a state. “There are policy ramifications for what he said,” one official said of Netanyahu’s campaign rhetoric rejecting the creation of a Palestinian state. “This is a position of record.” If Netanyahu holds firm to his opposition to a two-state resolution to the Mideast con-

flict, it could force whoever sits in the Oval Office – now and in the next administration – to choose between the prime minister and a longstanding U.S. policy with bipartisan support. Hours after the Israeli election results were finalized, the White House quickly reaffirmed its support for the idea of two independent nations living side by side, a central tenant of peace negotiations led by presidents from both U.S. political parties. And the White House sharply chastised Netanyahu’s party for using anti-Arab rhetoric in the lead-up to the election. “Rhetoric that seeks to marginalize one segment of their population is deeply concerning and it is divisive,” Obama spokesman Josh Earnest said. Frustrated by both Israel and the U.S., Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has become increasingly aggressive in efforts to secure a Palestinian state through other means, including the UN Security Council. The U.S. has veto power on the council and has repeatedly warned Abbas it would block his efforts to use that avenue.

Museum attack in Tunisian capital kills 17; 2 gunmen slain By BOUAZZA BEN BOUAZZA and PAUL SCHEMM The Associated Press TUNIS, Tunisia – Foreign tourists scrambled in panic Wednesday after militants stormed a museum in Tunisia’s capital and killed 19 people, “shooting at anything that moved,” a witness said. Two gunmen were slain by security forces after the deadliest attack on civilians in the North African country in 13 years, and the president said the young democracy was embroiled in a war with terror. The militants, who wore military-style uniforms and wielded assault rifles, burst from a vehicle and began gunning down tourists climbing out of buses at the National Bardo Museum. The attackers then charged inside to take hostages before being

New life for sober house in Sycamore

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR sion and I wish them well.

Welcome to Edgar County Watchdogs To the Editor: Speaking as an alum (MS Finance 96) and ex-employee of Northern Illinois University, I welcome with open arms the arrival of the Edgar County Watchdogs to NIU and DeKalb. The two founding members of this group made their first DeKalb appearance at the most recent NIU Board of Trustees meeting, suggesting to the Trustees that they use the group as a free resource to possibly identify and, if need be, help correct any systemic problems. In my opinion, a nonpolitical/nonbiased offer of free should always be welcome to taxpayers. However, considering NIU Administration’s two slogans of accountability, clarity, and transparency and ethically inspired leadership, there may be little for this group to look at or expose within our University. Regardless, it is a breath of fresh air to add to the discus-

With this momentum, it now appears House Speaker Michael Sharon May Madigan, who has kept the House Hinckley on the sidelines during these discussions, seems ready to engage State House committee in reforming school funding. tackles funding issue Earlier this month, Madigan creLetter to the Editor: ated a bipartisan education task It’s been three years since the force that will focus on studying Illinois Senate started discussing the way the state distributes major changes to the great disfunding to public schools and how parity in funding for K-12 schools changes in the school aid formula across the state.

The House Appropriation Com-

mittee for Elementary and Secondary Education discussed one of these bills last week. Senate Bill 1 is a revision of SB 16 from last year and focuses on changing the funding formula created in 1997. As the House task force begins its work, I believe it should build upon all the testimony and bill debates of prior years. Key among these learnings should be that funding needs to be based on student needs: more funding for students in poverty, English language learners and students with disabilities. To help the poorly funded districts, more state money needs to be pumped into education, not redistributed from other districts. Regional cost factors should be included, school efficiency and effectiveness must be encouraged, and schools must be held accountable for students making adequate yearly progress. Feel free to share your ideas in the weeks ahead. Robert Pritchard State Representative, 70th District Hinckley

The Clintons return, shady and self-pitying as ever A few weeks after being impeached, President Bill Clinton was asked why people had treated him the way they had. He answered with a joke about a man who fell from the Grand Canyon, broke his fall by catching a twig, and then found the twig coming loose. “And he looks up in the sky, and he says: ‘Lord, why me? Why me? I pay my taxes. I go to work every day. Why me?’ And this thunderous voice says, ‘Son, there’s just something about you I don’t like.’ ” It’s funny, sure, but there’s a note of self-pity in it, of unjust persecution. Impeachment trials and scandalous tribulations keep afflicting the hapless Clintons. And they never take responsibility for any of it. That’s still the way the Clintons, and the people around them, seem to think. Speaking to Andrea Mitchell last week, longtime Clinton adviser James Carville tried to minimize this month’s story about Hillary Clinton’s attempts to hide her State Department email records. “Do you remember Whitewater?” he asked. “Do you remember filegate? Do you remember travelgate? Do you remember pardongate? Do you remember Benghazi? All of this is just the same cockamamie stuff that we go through.” He added: “This is never going to end.

VIEWS Ramesh Ponnuru We’ve lived with this for 20 years, we’ll live with this through the rest of the campaign. This is all about nothing.” So the Clinton camp’s theory is that phony scandals keep arising because their enemies keep making them up, and a media that is biased against the family keeps giving them credence. (Carville complained to Mitchell that the New York Times had published “right-wing talking points” in its reporting on the email story.) The gaping hole in this theory is that it can’t explain why the media has this supposed bias, and why right-wingers haven’t been able to invent comparable scandals about other Democrats if it’s so easy to do. A better explanation for the profusion of scandals is that the Clintons frequently engage in unethical behavior, and that this pattern stimulates both true and false accusations. Democrats who were not adults in the 1990s have spent the past week learning what it’s like to have the Clintons at the head of their party. It means constantly having to defend questionable behavior.

Is that the way they want to spend the next two to 10 years? Hillary Clinton is in a strong position to win the Democratic nomination, and right now has no serious challenger. But the email controversy, and Clinton’s stonewalling in response to it, has to be causing some qualms. How badly do Democrats need her? Most of them think that demographic trends will favor them in elections to come. Wouldn’t those trends favor them still if Martin O’Malley or Andrew Cuomo or Elizabeth Warren were their nominee? Nostalgia for the 1990s is supposed to work in Hillary Clinton’s favor. The attraction of a Clinton restoration is the family’s association with peace and prosperity. But putting Clinton in office won’t necessarily bring back peace and prosperity. It will bring back the Clintons, and their ethics, their retinue, and their collective self-pity. Americans may decide that they’re not quite so nostalgic about that, or about scandals that, as Carville put it, are “never going to end.” They may decide, in fact, that there’s something about the Clintons they just don’t like.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

The Sycamore City Council’s decision this week to reconsider DeKalb County’s request to use a house in the city as a sober-living facility for men was a positive development. As we have said before, having a sober-living facility available to men in the county’s Drug and DUI Court program is a public good. Although the program does not have 100 percent success, it is worth the effort to help people free themselves from drug and alcohol addictions that lead them to criminal behavior, rather than incarcerating them. Our hope is that officials from the county and the city will be able to work together to come up with a plan that will be palatable to those in the neighborhood around 491 E. State St., and to at least a majority of Sycamore City Council members. Concerns about security and about the financial effect of having a property come off the city’s tax rolls would seem easy enough to solve in an intergovernmental agreement. For instance, as the residents of the house will be required to pay rent while they live there, perhaps there could be some kind of revenue-sharing agreement. Maybe the county could even pay some or all of the property taxes that the house used to generate. Also, local justice officials should be able to devise a system that will assure the neighborhood that those living in the house will be good neighbors. It should be understood that they will not be like regular renters – rather, they will be supervised, looked in upon and regularly drug-tested. Clearly, the two sides have some distance between them. The Sycamore council’s motion to reconsider the plan this week passed only by a bare 4-3 margin. One of the “no” votes, 3rd Ward AldermanSteve Braser, said he didn’t see the point in reconsidering a plan for a location he found unacceptable. Indeed, there are some things with the proposal that will not change. That includes the people who will live there, and the location. It likely also includes the attitudes of some people, who understandably would rather not have such a facility in their neighborhood. But buying and refurbishing this home would cost the county a total of about $200,000, at least half what it would cost to build something new, County Board Vice Chairman Tracy Jones has said. The house, which has long been for sale, faces busy State Street, and is in a mixed commercial and residential area, with a car-sales business for one of its neighbors. It also is near the courthouse, which would make it easier for residents to make required appearances at the nearby county courthouse. This is a plan worth saving, and we encourage county and city elected officials to work together to arrive at a compromise.

ANOTHER VIEW

An anniversary of horrors Four years ago this week people across Syria began marching peacefully to demand democratic reforms. The country they sought to improve literally no longer exists. In death, destruction, refugees and sheer horror, Syria’s war outstrips any other of this century. That it has faded from public attention reflects not an easing of the crisis, but an abdication by the United States and other powers of their commitments to prevent mass murder. Since Bashar Assad’s regime first responded to the peaceful demonstrators with gunfire, 6 percent of the prewar population of 20 million have been killed or wounded, and another 23 percent have left the country – including 4 million who live as refugees, according to a U.N.-supported study released last week. Outside of Damascus, most major cities have been reduced to rubble; a study of satellite images shows that 83 percent of the country’s electric lighting has been eliminated. Humanitarian groups attempting to serve the Syrians still in the country said the situation has grown worse since the United Nations Security Council passed resolutions last year meant to improve aid deliveries. The regime is still blockading areas it does not control, preventing the delivery of food and medical aid. It still regularly attacks those areas with “barrel bombs,” dropped from helicopters and filled with shrapnel or, occasionally, chlorine gas. The Obama administration, which once proclaimed the prevention of genocide a national security priority, has not even pretended to have a strategy for Syria since the collapse of a peace conference in Geneva 13 months ago. Secretary of State John F. Kerry created a stir over the weekend when he appeared to suggest that the administration is now open to negotiating with Assad. In fact, the administration long ago adopted the position that the regime could participate in a political settlement as long as Assad himself was not part of it. Kerry tacitly acknowledged, as he has many times before, that even that solution is unfeasible unless “there will be increased pressure on Assad.” But the United States will not apply that pressure; instead Kerry is still hoping that Russia and Iran will do it. There is no reason to believe that they will. In that sense, Kerry’s statements reflected the administration’s real policy, which is to wash its hands of Syria while hoping it can separately strike a deal with Iran on its nuclear program and collaborate with it to defeat the Islamic State in Iraq. At best, Syria’s continued agony will be the price for progress elsewhere in the Middle East. More likely, the Assad regime’s unchecked slaughter will continue to destabilize the region.

SOFTBALL: DEKALB 5, ELGIN 2

Newport strikes out 13 in season-opening win Pitcher runs into jam after 5 innings of no-hit ball By JESSE SEVERSON jseverson@shawmedia.com DeKALB – After breezing her way through five innings, DeKalb star pitcher Morgan Newport suddenly found herself in a jam in the sixth inning. However, the left-handed ace managed to escape and helped lead the Barbs softball team to a 5-2 victory over Elgin in the season opener Wednesday. Newport allowed two runs on four hits while striking out 13 to open the year with a complete-game victory. After five innings of no-hit ball, Newport surrendered all four hits and a hit by pitch in the sixth inning. Despite the jam, DeKalb coach Jeff Da-

She’s going to eat up most of the innings, so she’s going to have to learn how to get out of those innings. We’re not going to go get her when times get tough. She’s going to have to battle through it and get focused and hit her spots.” Newport had no walks and only one batter got into a three-ball count on the day. “Since I’ve been on the team with coach Davis for two years, I kind of

know what he’s thinking in certain situations,” Newport said. “We’ve just been in them a lot.” After allowing two runs in the sixth, Newport slammed the door in the seventh, striking out two and forcing a groundout. All of the offense for the Barbs (10) came in a five-run third inning. After a pair of Elgin (0-1) errors, Newport had an RBI infield single followed by a two-run double in the right-field gap by Tayler Garland. “I think we took advantage of the errors and made the most of it,” Garland said. “We knew that Elgin is a really good team, so we had to take advantage of any opportunity we get from them,” Newport said. “We did a good job of capitalizing on their mistakes.” Newport and Garland’s base hits in the third were the only hits on the afternoon against Elgin pitcher Jessica Rago, who allowed five unearned

Barbs win season opener in a rout Kuykendall’s 2-RBI double extends big, 8-run second inning By EDDIE CARIFIO ecarifio@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Down to his last strike with two outs and his DeKalb baseball team up three runs early, Jake Kuykendall said he knew what he had to do. Already with an RBI single under his belt, Kuykendall ripped a two-run double to left field and prolonged what would turn into an eightrun inning in the Barbs’ 10-0 win over Sandwich in the season opener Wednesday. “Well, I had two strikes, so I just had to protect the plate,” Kuykendall said. “He threw me a pitch outside that I could take to right field, and I was just looking to hit the ball where they weren’t. ...

GENOA – It might not have been the best start to the season for the Genoa-Kingston baseball team, but the Cogs did enough Wednesday afternoon behind a great pitching performance from junior ace Brady Huffman. Against Indian Creek, Huffman pitched six scoreless innings while striking out nine in the Cogs’ 7-0 win in their season opener. “(For) the first game, (it went) really well,” Huffman said. “We made a few mistakes here and there, but nothing that really cost us too much. A few mistakes on their end pushed us over for the win. Again, we need to improve a little bit.” Despite scoring seven runs, the Cogs (1-0) only mustered three hits, with Huffman getting two. Indian Creek (0-1) pitcher Chris Pickwell pitched a strong 3⅔ innings, allowing four runs on one hit, while striking out seven. After scoring a run on a passed ball in the second inning, G-K scored three runs

in the fourth inning to extend the lead. Huffman led off the inning with a single before Pickwell walked three straight batters. “Chris did a good job,” Indian Creek coach Joe Piekarz said. “He walked a few more guys than he usually does, but for the most part, he was attacking the zone.” After a fielder’s choice brought home Joe Murray to make the score 2-0, Pickwell forced a popup to get the second out. Jake Wieseler came on in relief and got an Andrew Caldwell popup, but an error on the field plated two more for the Cogs. Tommy Hansen added insurance with a two-run triple in the sixth inning, with Matt Cieslica and Caldwell coming around to score. Hansen scored on an error on the play for the final Cogs run. The Cogs did not make an error, with Huffman inducing seven groundball outs. But coach Anson Ellis was not pleased with the eight strikeouts on offense.

Kish tops Lansing to reach quarterfinals BY CHAD DARE sports@daily-chronicle.com DANVILLE – The halftime message was simple: “Play Kishwaukee basketball.” That’s what coach Robb Buss told his team as the Kougars were trailing Lansing Community College by six after the first half. His team heard him loud and clear as Kishwaukee opened the second half with an 18-1 run en route to a 8268 victory over Lansing in the second round of the NJCAA Division II National Tournament on Wednesday afternoon at Danville Area Community College. “We only have 20 minutes left, if you want to win, you better start doing it,” said Buss about his halftime speech. And the Kougars coach also had a little talk with sophomore guard Juwan Starks. “He told me that I needed to be more aggressive,” said Starks, who scored 25 of his game-high and tournament-high 30 points in the second half. “According to coach, the team goes as I lead them.”

BULLS 103, PACERS 86

NHL

Frustrated by restriction Noah wants to be on the floor in crunch time By JOE COWLEY jcowley@suntimes.com CHICAGO – Joakim Noah and his suddenly very public minutes restrictions aren’t about to go away anytime soon. Thankfully for the Bulls, they didn’t need them to Wednesday night. Behind 25 points from rookie Nikola Mirotic, as well as 21 from Mike Dunleavy, the Bulls (41-28) ended their two-game losing streak, beating the Pacers, 103-86, at the United Center. But all eyes remained on Noah, who has been dancing with playing time restrictions all season, after having offseason left knee surgery. “It’s frustrating,” Noah said. “I think I’m not the only one who’s frustrated sometimes. I think it’s part of the grind. I’m just trying to stay focused on what’s important and trying to win basketball games. I’m not trying to get caught up in any noise or anything like that. I don’t want to be a distraction. We’ll figure it out internally and do what’s best for the team.” Lately, what management has deemed best for the team was Noah back down to 32 minutes since missing last week’s game in Philadelphia when the knee once again acted up. After returning in Charlotte, Noah was unable to not only finish that game, but also was absent from the final minutes in Oklahoma City when he had

He then opted to avoid the media for several days, raising questions about where he stood on the restrictions being handed down from management. “It’d be nice,” Noah said, when asked if he would like to be on the floor to close games. “I think that right now I’m feeling better and better on the court. I know I still have another gear. But I think that the reason for

BLACKHAWKS 1, RANGERS 0

this minutes restriction is to try to protect me, too. It’s not to point any fingers or anything like that. We just have to do what’s best for me and the team. I think we’re going to be just fine.” For now, maybe. But come the last week of the regular season, and then into postseason play, Noah said that if the restrictions still were hindering in his opinion, a discus-

sion with management would have to take place. “As coaches and an organization, all together I think we can talk and figure it out,” Noah said. “That’s fair.” The way coach Tom Thibodeau handled it against the Pacers was a bit more spread out, but then again, a two-point lead in the first quarter, and then outscoring Indiana 27-19 in the second, made it much easier for Thibodeau to lighten the load, playing him just more than seven minutes in each of the first two quarters. Noah put in 4:19 in the third, and was available for most of the fourth. The Bulls didn’t really need him. He finished with 29:08 minutes of work, scoring six points, while adding 14 rebounds and seven assists. “We’ve talked about a lot of things all season long,” Thibodeau said, when asked about discussions he’s had with Noah about minutes. Bigger picture? The win kept the Bulls in the No. 4 spot of the Eastern Conference playoff seedings with 13 games left, and, hopefully for them, getting some key players back with Jimmy Butler (left elbow) and Taj Gibson (left ankle) practicing. What type of minutes restrictions those two will be under for Thibodeau still is an unknown. “I’ve been around a long time,” Thibodeau said. “For me, you block out all the noise and just concentrate on your job. I have no regrets. I put everything I have into each and every day. I’m going to let the results, you know … and I’m good with that.”

CUBS 7, DODGERS 5

Darling earns his Coghlan and Cubs 1st NHL shutout rough up McCarthy Hawks win 4th straight, have 1st place in mind By MARK LAZERUS mlazerus@suntimes.com NEW YORK – Against possibly the best team in hockey, on the road, with first place in the Central Division suddenly within reach, Joel Quenneville sat his red-hot No. 1 goaltender for a guy who hadn’t played since giving up four goals Feb. 27, a guy with only nine NHL starts to his credit. “Our goaltending, no matter who has been in the net, we’re comfortable,” the Blackhawks coach said after choosing Scott Darling to start over Scott Darling Corey Crawford against the New York Rangers on Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden. “It gives us a chance to win every game. … Knowing going into a game you have that as a team, it’s a big asset.” Darling – the definition of a big asset at 6-foot-6 – proved his coach right, making 25 saves for his first career shutout as the Hawks won their fourth straight and moved within three points of the first-place St. Louis Blues (both teams have played 70 games) with a 1-0 victory. Darling outdueled Cam Talbot, who once again made life difficult on the Hawks 10 days after winning at the United Center, 1-0, in overtime. In three career starts against the Hawks, Talbot – an injury replacement for all-world goalie Henrik Lundqvist – has given up only two goals. Fittingly, it was Brad Richards – bought out by the Rangers over the summer after falling to the fourth line during their run to the Stanley Cup Final last season – who finally broke through after more than 108 scoreless minutes against the Rangers, scoring the lone goal 7:19 into the third period. Richards’ goal came right after New York’s

Dan Boyle hit the crossbar at the other end of the ice. Darling caught a break early, when a quick (and improper) whistle wiped out a first-period goal for the Rangers. But he was solid the rest of the way – his best save a sprawling pad save on Rick Nash after Nash picked Brent Seabrook’s pocket in the Hawks’ zone later in the first. Quenneville went with Darling over Crawford, who is 6-0-1 with a 1.13 goals-against average and .964 save percentage in his past seven games, because of the heavy workload Crawford faced Tuesday night in a 38-save victory over the New York Islanders. Crawford’s play of late is one of the biggest reasons the Hawks entered the game 7-1-1 since the game Patrick Kane was injured, clawing their way back up the Central Division standings. A few weeks after first place seemed like a pipe dream, the Hawks feel they have a legitimate chance to secure home-ice advantage through at least the first two rounds of the playoffs “We’re happy we’re getting closer,” Marian Hossa said. “Our goal didn’t change. The season is long.” The four-game surge is the Hawks’ first win streak of more than two since their eight-game win streak was snapped in early December. It’s particularly tough – but particularly crucial – to string together wins this time of year, when every team is fighting for every point as they jockey for playoff positioning. The Hawks face a much less daunting schedule than the Blues – their next four games come against Dallas, Carolina, Philadelphia and Columbus – so now’s the time to get on a roll. “You hope you have some runs over the course of the year, because you need it,” Quenneville said. “There are going to be stretches where .500 is where you’re at, and sometimes you’re going to be below five-hundo for a stretch. You hope you can put something together because at the end of the day, you have to.”

The ASSOCIATED PRESS

GLENDALE, Ariz. – Dodgers starter Brandon McCarthy was hit hard as Chris Coghlan homered and drove in three runs to lead the Cubs over Los Angeles, 7-5, Wednesday. “Physically, I feel fine,” McCarthy said. “I just have to look at what I did, correct it and move forward.” McCarthy gave up six runs and eight hits in four innings. In nine innings this spring, the 6-foot-7 Dodgers Chris Coghlan newcomer has allowed eight runs and 13 hits. “Today was unexpected,” said McCarthy, who signed a four-year deal for $48 million Dec. 16 after spending last season with the Diamondbacks and Yankees. “It was my mechanics. I just couldn’t do anything I wanted to. Everything was going in the wrong direction.” The Cubs jumped on McCarthy quickly. In the first, Arismendy Alcantara tripled and

scored on a fielder’s choice. Coghlan hit a two-run homer in the second inning after a two-run double by Albert Almora. It was Coghlan’s first homer of the spring. Coghlan added a sacrifice fly in the fourth. Joc Pederson hit a three-run homer off Cubs starter Jake Arrieta and went 3 for 3. The Dodgers roughed up Arrieta for five runs and seven hits in four innings. “My delivery was off, but that’s an easy fix,” Arietta said. Before Pederson’s second Cactus League homer, Arrieta gave up an RBI double to Andre Ethier.

TRAINER’S ROOM Cubs: Kris Bryant is scheduled to be the DH in a “B’’ game against the Angels in Mesa. The third baseman, the club’s top prospect, will play catch before the game, according to manager Joe Maddon. Bryant could be back at third Friday against the White Sox at Camelback Ranch, six days after he missed his first start with fatigue in his right shoulder.

WHITE SOX 9, REDS 4

Beckham homers, hits 2 doubles for Sox By GARY SCHATZ The Associated Press GOODYEAR, Ariz. – Gordon Beckham homered and hit two doubles, sending the White Sox past the Cincinnati Reds, 9-4, Wednesday. Alexei Ramirez added a two-run double off Reds starter Jason Marquis. Geovany Soto homered for the Sox. Beckham’s first homer this spring was a two-run shot off Pedro Villarreal. Marquis, set to fill one of the Reds’ rotation jobs, retired the first nine batters before walking Emilio Bonafacio and Avisail Garcia in front of Ramirez. Marquis walked three in five innings. He gave up four runs and five hits.

“Marquis wasn’t as sharp as he was in other games,” Reds manager Bryan Price said. “The ball was coming back over the plate. He still got a lot of groundballs but pitched from behind in the count more.” Sox starter Jose Quintana pitched 4⅔ innings. allowing a run on two hits. Quintana, who never has had a major league hit, bounced a hard bunt over first baseman Joey Votto’s head for an RBI single. It was the first game either team played without the designated hitter. “I was excited by my first base hit,” Quintana said. “I go to the cages when we play National League teams. I have fun. I just tried to make contact.”

Moan allows 2 hits, Kaneland routs H-BR soccer strikes out 4 to get ‘W’

SOFTBALL: G-K 17, PREP ROUNDUP INDIAN CREEK 0 (5 INN.)

Strack, Cogs cruise in opener By JAMES HIGH sports@daily-chronicle.com SHABBONA – The Genoa-Kingston softball team swung hot bats on a chilly day, hitting three home runs to defeat Indian Creek, 17-0, in five innings Wednesday in the season opener. Cogs’ leadoff hitter Kendyl Strack hit the first pitch from Timberwolves pitcher Katherine Nolan over the center-field fence. “It feels amazing,” Strack said. “Generally, the first pitch of the season I would wait on, but it was a perfect pitch.” The Cogs never let up, scoring five runs in the first inning, including another home run by freshman Jaylin Sagotto that knocked out Nolan from the game. Sam Flemming took the mound for the Timberwolves in the second inning, and the Cogs added five more runs. “Very pleased with the kids starting off so well with the bats,” Cogs coach Mike Lauer said. “Hitting the ball so well early on, it was nice. This being the first game facing live pitching, sometimes you get anxious. But we hit good pitches, and also we took some pitches, too. Sometimes looking at pitches you shouldn’t be swinging at is just as important.” G-K pitching did not allow a hit. Starting pitcher Baylie Ullmark pitched three innings, striking out seven. Strack finished the game, pitching two innings without allowing a baserunner, and striking out three. “Strack had a very nice game everywhere,” Lauer said. “She is a flatout softball player. She’ll be our second pitcher this year, playing third base and catching, and hitting the ball the way she did. She’s an all-around great player.” Despite a tough loss to begin the season, Indian Creek coach Alyx Bickel said she is optimistic. “I thought we had pretty solid defense today,” Bickel said. “And that’s something we’ve worked really hard on. We’re going to have to get the bats to come around. But it’s good to get a game in this early in the season. So we’re going to continue to work on our offense, hopefully, that will come around, but I think we’ll have a pretty solid defense.” G-K takes on Somonauk at 4:30 p.m. today. Indian Creek travels to Oregon for a doubleheader Saturday.

Pickwell has IC’s only hit • COGS Continued from page B1 “Defensively, we were very good,” he said. “We had no errors for our first game on an actual field, so that was very nice. Offensively, we obviously struck out way too much with guys on base, and we had a couple baserunning mistakes, but, fortunately, they didn’t hurt us.” Pickwell had the Timberwolves’ lone hit, which was a double in the second inning. Indian Creek had runners on second and third with no outs in the inning, but couldn’t get a run across. “I was happy. I thought we did some good things,” Piekarz said. “It was really nice to face a good, quality pitcher like [Huffman]. That was great for us to see somebody with that kind of stuff because that can only make us better.”

Davis: ‘We let off the gas a little bit’ • DEKALB SOFTBALL Continued from page B1 runs and struck out eight. “She was deceiving. She was better than we thought,” Davis said. “She did a nice job of mixing up her speeds.” With the way Newport was pitching – she had a no-hitter with nine strikeouts through five innings – it felt like the five runs would be more than

enough for the Barbs. Davis said he felt like the Barbs might have lost some intensity on offense after the five-run third. “I do think we let off the gas a little bit,” he said. “In the fifth inning, when I made some changes, I felt like some kids got quiet. When you’re battling for positions – and we are, all nine positions are battling for spots – they have to keep the foot on the gas and

they got to go forward.” Davis said he felt it was a strong starting point, especially for a young Barbs team that lost five starters from last year. After their season-opening win over Elgin, the Barbs play Friday at Huntley. “They’re going to be a very good team,” Davis said of Huntley. “More than likely they’re going to be in our regional, so the game is meaningful.”

• DEKALB BASEBALL Continued from page B1 plate in the second, the Barbs already had scored twice off the Indians in the frame. His double scored Jordan Keck and Logan Haring, both of whom reached on walks, then Dani Garcia followed with a two-out double of his own to score Kuykendall. Connor Hoyle added an RBI single in the frame. “[Kuykendall] stayed patient, kept his hands back, really drove the ball well,” coach Keck said. “When he got that two-run double with two strikes, that was a really nice job for us and it was a really nice uplift for us.” The Barbs reached the 10run rule in the fourth when Josh Ottum flew out to center. Travis Fordon trotted off the field as if there were three outs, allowing Dylan Farrell to score from second on the delay.

Zach Moan picked up the win for the Barbs, allowing two hits, two walks and striking out four. Max Fleetwood pitched two innings of nohit relief, walking three and striking out three. “Zach did a really nice job for us,” coach Keck said. “We’re hoping for some really big things out of him this year. For him to be able to give us three innings of shutout baseball ...” The Barbs had only five hits in the game, but drew four walks and a hit by pitch. “Obviously, you like to mash the ball over the place, but we had a solid approach,” coach Keck said. “If they’re going to walk you, take the walk, extend the inning for everybody else. If you’re going to get hit by a pitch, get hit by a pitch. Just do what you have to do to extend the inning.”

Starks scores 12 points in Kougars’ key 18-1 run in 2nd half • KOUGARS Continued from page B1 Starks, who was 1 for 5 from the field in the opening 20 minutes, made four 3-pointers and the sophomore from Aurora was 7 for 9 at the freethrow line in the second half. “We need him to shoot the ball,” Buss said. “The kid shoots 53 percent from 3 and he strokes it. When he hits 3s, it takes a lot of pressure off of the rest of our guys. “He is our guy that gets us going. He has saved us more times than we would like to say.” And Starks was the guy fu-

eling the Kougars’ run to start the second half. He had 12 points during their 18-1 run in the first six minutes of the second half as Kishwaukee (29-5) turned the six-point halftime deficit into a 55-44 lead that it never relinquished. “I think it was more nerves than anything,” said Starks about the first half. “We have been in that situation before and we know what we need to do. We came out not ready, a little anxious and a little scared at the same time. “We just had to play our game. We were playing their game for most of the first half.” Overcoming a 43-37 halftime deficit is also what Kishwau-

kee did in the region championship game against Triton. “That’s not an insurmountable lead,” Buss said. “I didn’t think we would close the gap as quickly as we did to start the second half, but once we did, I think we are a team that plays a lot more confident when we have that lead.” Lansing Community College (23-9) had a 43-33 lead with 1:17 left in the first half, but Stars coach Mike Ingram wasn’t completely satisfied with his team’s first-half performance. “I thought we were really fortunate to be up,” he said. “I thought that we played very selfishly on offense and

defense. We were up six, we should have been up 10 or 12 points. “In the second half, we fell apart.” The Stars committed eight turnovers and missed their first eight shots of the second half as the Kougars scored 18 of the first 19 points in the second half. “Even then with about six minutes left, we were down 6055 and we missed three layups in a row,” Ingram said. “We were a very good team, but we were a very bad team early in the year by playing the way we played tonight. That was the team that showed up today.” Starks was one of four play-

ers in double figures for Kishwaukee. Joining him was Nygel Drury (16), Yashua Trent (15) and Andre Harris (10), who also had a team-high 11 rebounds. Javon Haines was the leading scorer for Lansing with 16 points, while Tracy Edmond scored 12 and Momadou Ba finished with 11 points and a game-high 12 rebounds. With the victory, Kishwaukee advances into the quarterfinals, and the fifth-seeded Kougars will play fourth-seeded Des Moines Area Community College, which defeated Hesston College of Kansas, 8953, Tuesday. Tipoff is set for 8:30 p.m. today.

4 ADVICE & PUZZLES • Thursday, March 19, 2015 • Section C • Daily Chronicle / Daily-Chronicle.com

Man ignored by family wants to return the favor Dear Abby: I am the youngest of three boys. When I was growing up, my brothers didn’t have much to do with me. At times they were cruel, mocked my interests and made fun of my friends. At 19 I moved into the dorms, even though I was attending college locally. My professional life took me away from my hometown for 25 years. Both brothers pretty much ignored me, except for calls on my birthday filled with awkward silence because we didn’t know each other well enough to talk about anything. I lived abroad for long periods, and even though I sent emails and postcards, I never heard anything from them in reply. Now I live back in my

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips hometown and I am expected to participate in holiday and family events because “it’s family.” Please give me the words to use to refuse invitations I do not want, from a family who made it clear they had no use for me for so long.

– Wary In Wisconsin Dear Wary: Give the following standard refusal: “Thank you for wanting to include me, but I already have other plans.” No one can argue with that. I do, however, suggest you choose one holiday a year to spend with your “family” as a way of maintaining min-

imal contact. That way they can’t accuse you of snubbing them. Dear Abby: Three widowed friends of mine still have their late husbands’ voices on their answering machines. I think it’s spooky and in really bad taste. Is there any way to gently suggest to them they change their greeting to one in their own voices or an anonymous one? I’m a widow, too, and I wouldn’t think of leaving my greeting that way. – Flabber-

gasted In Florida Dear Flabbergasted: Different strokes for different folks. Has it not occurred to you these ladies not only do not find the sound of their late husbands’ voices the least bit spooky, but they might call

their own numbers in order to hear it? They may also feel safer having a male voice answer their phone. Because you find it upsetting, consider texting or emailing them instead. Dear Readers: The departments of psychiatry and medicine at Tufts Medical Center want to learn more about the impact caregiving has on family members and friends of people who have been diagnosed with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. Because family members and friends of individuals with mental illness play a large part in providing care – while also balancing jobs and other life responsibilities – the physicians and research scientists at Tufts are asking

you to share the impact caregiving has on different aspects of your life, including your ability to work and your health and well-being. This information will be used to improve services to caregivers and the people they support. If you are interested in participating in this study, please visit tinyurl.com/ tuftscaregiver. Participation in this study is voluntary and involves completing an anonymous survey. Dear Abby readers are the most generous and caring folks in the world, and I hope some of you are willing to help with this project.

Healthy Eating Plate reflects latest nutrition science Dear Dr. K: Is a healthy diet still based on the food guide pyramid? Is there a better alternative? Dear Reader: Twenty years ago, the USDA created its food guide pyramid. This symbol featured fats and oils at the tip and breads and grains at its base, with fruits, vegetables, meat and dairy in between. The pyramid was meant to convey, in a simple illustration, everything needed to build a healthful diet. But the original pyramid, as well as the updated 2005 version, was easy to misinterpret. For example, some people thought the top foods were most important, rather than the other way around. The pyramids didn’t provide enough details

ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff about healthful food choices within each category. They made no distinction, for example, between fatty red meat and lean fish. What’s more, the pyramid proportions were not always based on the most recent scientific evidence. As a result, in 2011 the USDA introduced a totally new icon called MyPlate. Experts from the Harvard School of Public Health and the Harvard Health Publications Division of Harvard Medical School then created an even better alternative. It is based on a wealth of nutrition research. (I’ve put an

illustration of the Harvard Healthy Eating Plate on my website, www.askdoctork. com.) You can use the plate as a guide to distributing foods on your own plate. Of course, not every meal will look like the Healthy Eating Plate. But your meals over the course of the day can reflect these proportions. Here is what’s on the plate: • A full half of the plate contains fruits and vegetables. • A quarter of the plate is whole grains (not just any grain, as in the USDA version). • The final quarter is healthful sources of protein such as fish, beans, nuts, seeds, poultry and eggs. • A bottle on the left side

is a reminder to use healthy oils, such as olive and canola. Limit butter and avoid unhealthy trans fats. • A glass on the right side is a reminder to drink lowor no-calorie liquids, limit milk and juice, and avoid sugary drinks. • At the bottom is a reminder to stay active for health and to maintain a normal weight. We talk about healthy eating a lot in this column. That’s because you ask a lot of questions about it. It’s not unusual for my patients to ask me: “Is there really scientific evidence behind all this advice about a healthy diet?” There have been studies involving millions of people whose diet and health have

been followed for decades. We can say with confidence people who eat according to these guidelines reduce their risk of several diseases that can shorten life and diminish its quality. The Harvard Healthy Eating Plate is sound information. As nutrition researchers uncover more information over time, I’m sure the Healthy Eating Plate will undergo some changes to reflect important new evidence. But even if not perfect, it contains information you can bank on.

Less-than-perfect reputation can disappear in time Dr. Wallace: I’m dating a girl who has a less-than perfect reputation. I knew this when I asked her out. I had a class with her last semester and I thought she was very bright and attractive. On our very first date, we talked about her reputation, and she said she didn’t want to go into all the details, but she has changed and wanted to completely forget her history. We’ve been dating for more than a month, and I really like her. We’ve had great times together, and she has been a perfect lady. And

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace though I’m no angel, I’ve been a perfect gentleman and I treat her with respect. My problem is all the guys I hang around with (we’re all football and basketball players) are really on my case because I’m dating this girl. And to make things worse, a couple of these guys have gone out with her and they think I’m going out with her because of sex, but that’s

ASTROGRAPH

not true. I think she is not only attractive but really intelligent, and she has a wonderful sense of humor. She behaves like a lady and I’m considering asking her to go steady with me. What can I say when my friends keep asking me why I’m “really” going out with her? So far I have not given any answer. – Football Play-

er, Dallas Football Player: Just be honest. When they continue to press you for information, tell them the truth. She acts like a lady, she’s good-looking and intelligent, and you

SUDOKU By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association

TODAY – Don’t allow yourself to get sidetracked or dissuaded from pursuing what’s important to you. If you allow minor matters to interfere with your plans, you will lose valuable time that should have been spent furthering your career. Stay focused and keep an open mind. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Group activities or events will lead to romantic encounters. Be yourself and don’t try to make an impression by overspending or exaggerating. Use your compassionate nature to win over a new acquaintance. ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Listen to your intuition. A change in direction is imminent. You have the resolve and knowledge to take advantage of any new opportunity. Don’t let anxiety or worry hold you back. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Keep an open mind when it comes to changes in the workplace. If you are seen as stubborn, you will jeopardize your position. Avoid excessive eating or drinking as a means of stress relief. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Someone will try to blame you for something you didn’t do. Avoid becoming involved in a heated confrontation. Be honest, and don’t make excuses for yourself or anyone else. CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Your interest in foreign places will be satisfied if you attend a cultural event. Don’t meddle in someone else’s affairs. No matter which side you choose, you will gain an enemy. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Generosity is a fine quality, but flaunting your cash will have others thinking that you are trying to buy their friendship. Stick to your budget and pay only your own way. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Don’t neglect someone you care about. Attending a lot of events by yourself or spending too much time away from home will have a detrimental effect on your relationship. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Keep an eye on your budget when shopping. You may want to treat yourself to something special, but if it limits your household funds, you will experience setbacks. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Love is in the air and romance and travel will go hand-in-hand. Your problem-solving talent will bring your qualifications to the attention of someone who can influence your future. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Stand up for yourself if someone you live with is trying to limit your freedom. You will need to find an agreeable balance before the situation comes to a head. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – An elderly relative will offer surprising details about your past. Love and passion are looking hot. What is currently a casual friendship has the potential to be much more. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Some easy money is headed your way through dividends, investments or insurance. Don’t spend it too quickly. Saving for an unexpected expense will ease your stress.

care for her so much you will be dating her for a long time. Eventually, they’ll realize you mean it and the crude remarks will stop. Sadly, a bad reputation, deserved or undeserved, can be slow to disappear. But, in time, it will. Dr Wallace: My parents are divorced, and I live with my mom. She’s 34, and I’m 17. My mom started dating this guy about four months ago, and he started living with us about a month later. Then just last week they got into a big fight and my mom told him to “Get out, and

stay out,” so he left that day. When he was leaving he told me I could call him. This guy is only five years older than I am, and I really like him. I’m going to be 18 in a month. Would it be all right if I call him now, but wait until I’m 18 to see him? I really don’t know what I should do. – Nameless, Sulphur,

Louisiana Nameless: Do not contact this guy now, or ever. He is 100 percent off limits.

CROSSWORD

BRIDGE Phillip Alder

A key play for third hand Fred Allen, a comedian who died in 1956, said, “I always have trouble remembering three things: faces, names and – I can’t remember what the third thing is.” That joke has been rewritten in various forms. For our second common error in this week’s columns, we turn to third hand play. The opening lead has been made, and dummy’s card played. What should third hand do? Look at the East hand in today’s diagram. South is in four spades. West leads the club two. Which card should East play? In the bidding, North, over West’s takeout double, might bid two spades (very cautious), three spades (better) or four spades (best, following the primary dictum of the Law of Total Tricks – in competition, bid as high as the number of trumps your side holds). Whatever North chooses, though, four spades will be the final contract. At trick one, East must play the club jack. Why? Here, South wins the trick with his ace and leads a trump, putting West back in. Trick one told West that East holds the club queen (otherwise, South would have taken the first trick with that card, not with the ace). So West should see that it is right to lead another low club. East will win with his queen and should shift to a heart. West takes two tricks in that suit for down one. (If West has a diamond winner coming, it isn’t going anywhere, but heart tricks might – and will – evaporate.) Finally, if declarer ducks the first trick, East should immediately switch to the heart nine. West’s lead marks South with the club ace, so returning that suit would be a waste of time.
