But the tornado didn’t head the opposite direction, it slammed right into the Schultz residence, and into the rest of the unincorporated town of Fairdale.

“I heard this terrible noise, and I figured this house has been around for 175 years, it’s probably seen worse storms than this,” Schultz, 84, said.

WASHINGTON – Hillary Rodham Clinton jumped back into presidential politics Sunday, making a much-awaited announcement she will again seek the White House with a promise to serve as the “champion” of everyday Americans.

Clinton opened her bid for the 2016 Democratic nomination by positioning herself as the heir to the diverse coalition of voters who elected her immediate predecessor and former campaign rival, President Barack Obama, as well as an appeal to those in her party still leery of her commitment to fighting income inequality.

And unlike eight years ago, when she ran as a candidate with a deep resume in Washington, Clinton and her personal history weren’t the Hillary focus of the first Rodham message of her Clinton campaign.

In the online video that kicked off her campaign, she made no mention of her time in the Senate and four years as secretary of state, or the prospect she could make history as the nation’s first female president.

Instead, the video is collection of voters talking about their lives, their plans and aspirations for the future. Clinton doesn’t appear until the very end.

“I’m getting ready to do something, too. I’m running for president,” Clinton said.

“Americans have fought their way back from tough economic times, but the deck is still stacked in favor of those at the top.

“Every day Americans need a champion, and I want to be that champion, so you can do more than just get by. You can get ahead and stay ahead.”

It’s a message that also made an immediate play to win over the support of liberals in her party for whom economic inequality has become a defining issue.

They remain skeptical of Clinton’s close ties to Wall Street and the centrist economic policies of the administration of her husband, former President Bill Clinton.

Many had hoped Clinton would face a challenge from Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who has said she will not run.

“It would do her well electorally to be firmly on the side of average working people who are working harder than ever and still not getting ahead,” said economist Robert Reich, a former labor secretary during the Clinton administration.

Millions to pay more for flood insurance

By FRANK ELTMAN The Associated Press MINEOLA, N.Y. – A $24 billion sea of red ink has millions of Americans in vulnerable flood zones, including homeowners still struggling to recover from Superstorm Sandy, facing steep increases in flood insurance premiums.

New legislation that went into effect this month – the second time in two years Congress has tweaked the troubled National Flood Insurance Program – allows rate increases of up to 18 percent.

“This appears to be death by a thousand cuts,’ ” said Scott Primiano, an Amityville, New York, insurance broker who has been holding seminars for clients to explain the new legislation.

“The concept sounds good, but no one can say what the full risk is. ... They are going to take it in bits and pieces every year and it keeps going until Congress determines we’ve had enough.”

Federal Emergency Management Agency spokesman Rafael Lemaitre said the flood insurance program has for decades been paying out

He said the new legislation is “intended to improve the long-term sustainability of the program while being sensitive to needs of policyhold-

ers.”

Lemaitre noted that a previous overhaul in 2012 had socked many policyholders with even higher rate hikes – as much as 25 percent annually.

In addition to rate increases capped at 18 percent annually for those with mortgag-

es living in high-risk flood regions, the new legislation means all flood insurance customers nationwide will pay at least a $25 surcharge on their annual premiums.

And homeowners with a “secondary residence,” such as vacation properties, will pay a $250 surcharge.

Ex-U.S. guards face sentencing in Iraq case

By ERIC TUCKER The Associated Press WASHINGTON – A yearslong legal fight over a deadly shooting of civilians in an Iraq war zone reaches its reckoning point with the sentencing this week of four former Blackwater security guards.

Dustin Heard, Evan Liberty and Paul Slough face mandatory, decadeslong sentences because of firearms convictions. A fourth defendant, Nicholas Slatten, faces life in prison after being found guilty of first-degree murder.

At the hearing today in U.S. District Court, defense lawyers intend to appeal for mercy by arguing that their clients acted in self-defense during a chaotic firefight in Baghdad.

They also plan to argue that sending the defendants to prison for decades would be an unfairly harsh outcome for men who have close family ties and proud military careers, and who were operating in stressful conditions in a war-torn country.

The men were charged in the deaths of 14 Iraqis at Nisoor Square, a crowded traffic circle in downtown Baghdad. The

killings caused an international uproar and became a dark episode of contractor violence during the Iraq war. Defense lawyers argued that the contractors, who arrived there after a car bomb exploded, were targeted with gunfire from insurgents and Iraqi police, and shot back in self-defense. Prosecutors contended that there was no incoming fire and that the shooting was unprovoked.

The defendants – who were in Iraq to protect American diplomats – were convicted in October after a trial that stretched months and featured testimony from Iraqi witness-

es and from other Blackwater guards who cooperated with the government.

The sentencing hearing arrives with much at stake for the men given the heavy punishments the government is seeking. The firearms convictions alone carry mandatory minimum sentences of 30 years in prison. But prosecutors are seeking sentences far beyond that, partly because they say the men have never shown remorse or accepted responsibility. The murder conviction against Slatten carries a life sentence.

Few marathon bomb survivors seek help for ‘invisible’ wounds

By PHILIP MARCELO The Associated Press BOSTON – Two years after the Boston Marathon bombings, few survivors appear to be taking advantage of free wellness programs meant to help with anxiety, stress, insomnia and other “invisible injuries” that can be just as devastating as losing a limb.

Just 42 survivors have pursued treatment for such problems through the One Fund Center, which was launched in September to aid the 240 victims and family members who received payouts from the main charity established in the wake of the blasts.

The Massachusetts Resiliency Center – which opened in October to help with behavioral and mental health problems suffered by the scores of people who may have been traumatized by the April 15, 2013, bombings or the ensuing manhunt – has served only a few hundred.

Although the centers have funding for at least two years, organizers fear it may be years before many survivors understand the emotional toll and decide to seek help.

Dr. Rebecca Brendel, a psychiatrist who is medical director for the One Fund Cen-

“Folks just want to get through the next few months. We will move at their pace and their level of readiness. Their unique path of recovery may not be linear nor move at a predetermined pace.”

Barbara Thorp One Fund Center’s program director

ter, said she’s not surprised at the muted response so far.

“We always expected that demand for traditional psychiatric and mental health care would not be high,” she said. “This is a population that is incredibly resilient.

This is not a fundamentally traumatized population. We certainly don’t want to identify this community as sick or mentally ill.”

Eric and Ann Whalley of Boston, who suffered severe physical injuries in the attacks, say they’ve so far chosen not to take advantage of counseling services.

“We’ve handled things our own way,” he said. “We’ve been impacted, but not with the sort of PTSD, severe anxiety and panic attacks that others have. We’ve done pretty well on that side of things.”

Dr. Kermit Crawford, a psychologist who heads the Resiliency Center, suggests

demand for services – which include group therapy sessions on relaxation and stress management techniques – may grow over time.

“You have to remember: These are normal people dealing with an abnormal circumstance,” Crawford said.

Barbara Thorp, the One Fund Center’s program director, also expects enrollment to pick up soon. She said a number of survivors are waiting for the bombing’s second anniversary, this year’s marathon and bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s federal death penalty trial to run their course.

“Folks just want to get through the next few months,” Thorp said. “We will move at their pace and their level of readiness. Their unique path of recovery may not be linear nor move at a predetermined pace.”

Both the One Fund Center and Resiliency Center have

been stepping up their outreach as the anniversaries approach.

They’ve also been sending staff to the Boston courthouse where Tsarnaev is being tried in order to offer counseling to victims’ families, survivors and those asked to testify.

The Resiliency Center runs on a roughly $2 million grant from the U.S. Department of Justice. The One Fund Center, which also offers treatment for eyesight and hearing problems, was created with about $1.5 million left after the main fundraising charity for bombing victims, One Fund Boston, began winding down operations late last year.

To be sure, many survivors and victims’ families are finding other ways to cope beyond formal wellness programs.

Some are creating foundations and nonprofits to benefit others in similar situations, while others are training to run this year’s marathon.

Dr. Daniel Polley of the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary in Boston, which is helping survivors deal with hearing troubles, suggests a sort of “doctor’s fatigue” may also be a factor for those who have already undergone months of operations and physical therapy.

Film, discussion to address sexual assault on campuses

By ERIC R. OLSON DeKALB – Safe Passage and the Egyptian Theatre are teaming up to offer a free screening and discussion of “The Hunting Ground,” a new documentary film about sexual assault on college campuses.

The event, part of a public outreach effort for Sexual Assault Awareness Month, will be at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Egyptian Theatre, 135 N. Second St., DeKalb. Admission is free and open to the public.

The topic of campus sexual assault is relevant not only for students at the area’s two college campuses, but also for parents of students, said Mary Ellen Schaid, executive director at Safe Passage, a local nonprofit whose mission is to reduce or prevent domestic violence and sexual assault in DeKalb County.

“It’s a very powerful film, and it’s something we all need to think about and talk about as a community,” Schaid said. “It’s not only for college students, but for parents. We just had that terrible situation with the grade schools with the teacher that was arrested, and there’s a need for parents to understand this.”

“The Hunting Ground” is distributed by CNN Films and written and directed by Kirby Dick, whose most recent work, “The Invisible War,” about rape in the U.S. military, won 2014 Emmy Awards for best documentary and outstanding investigative journalism, long form.

The screening of the 90-minute film will be followed by a panel discussion, with panel members including DeKalb Police Chief Eugene Lowery and Safe Passage Public Educator Marj Askins. Also included will be Shana Ware, a victim advocate from Northern Illinois University, and Jeanne Meyer, director of the Office of Community Standards and Student Conduct at NIU, Schaid said.

Students will be represented, too, with NIU student government representative Joe Franscello and NIU student and Safe Passage volunteer Allison Krause also partici-

DeKALB – Northern Illinois University alumnus Richard Stilling comes back to DeKalb whenever he can to support the football team he played for in the 1950s.

Stilling, who lettered on the NIU football team in 1956 through ’58 as a guard, said he played under the tutelage of NIU Hall of Famer Bob Brigham, who started his illustrious career with the university as an assistant head coach on the Huskies’ football team in 1955.

“I played football for Bob Brigham,” he said. “I owe everything in my professional life to NIU. I feel the football team helps the economy, and athletics are very important for the complete education of any student. Sports teach you to survive adversity. They teach you about yourself and show you what you’re made of.”

Stilling, a season-ticket holder, was one of hundreds of students, families and community members who enjoyed a beautiful Saturday afternoon at the inaugural Communiversity Block Party, which was held from noon to 2 p.m. outside Huskie Stadium.

The block party led up to the third annual Huskie Bowl, which is the football team’s last spring practice, during which the players divide into two teams, Team Black and Team Cardinal, for a scrimmage.

Morris White, assistant athletics director for marketing and game experience, said he hoped the block party “focuses on the relationship between the community and campus,” and to showcase area vendors, as well as NIU athletics.

“Without the support of the community, the university wouldn’t thrive, and vice versa,” White said. “We have to have support.”

Sean Frazier, NIU director

“Sometimes you see 1 in 5, and I don’t know how valid that is, but I think it’s more common than we think it is and than it should be, of course.”

Mary Ellen Schaid Safe Passage executive director

pating, Safe Passage Public Educator Sarah Slavenas said. Other local officials also have been invited, Sexual assault on college campuses has become a high-profile topic, with a study from the federal Justice Department’s National Institute of Justice in 2007 finding that 1 in 5 women on college campuses are victims of sexual assault.

At Northern Illinois University in 2013, there were 12 “forcible sex offenses” reported, with 10 of them occurring on campus, according to the university’s 2014-15 Clery Act report.

The 1-in-5 statistic might be high because of the methodology of that particular study, but the issue is real no matter the number, Schaid said.

“Sometimes you see 1 in 5, and I don’t know how valid that is, but I think it’s more common than we think it is and than it should be, of course,” Schaid said. “And so when you look at the numbers of actual reported cases at NIU, it’s not very many, but again that’s the problem, most of it doesn’t get reported.”

Jayden Young, 9, of Decatur spins a hula-hoop around his neck while playing Saturday at Northern Illinois University’s first Communiversity Block Party outside of Huskie Stadium before the Huskie Bowl. Young’s cousin, Devan Ingram, plays for NIU. of athletics, said the goal of the block party was to engage the community and fan base.

“The idea is for us to be a major contributor to DeKalb and Sycamore,” Frazier said.

“The football program provides a social activity, and this block party gets people out of the house. We have a championship program – the winningest in the state – right in our own backyard, and the community has rallied behind it.”

NIU’s Student Association teamed up with the Student Involvement and Leadership Department to host a donation table for residents in Rochelle and Fairdale who were affected

by Thursday’s tornadoes. Chad Harris, chief of staff for the student association, said the amount of donations they’d collected was “pretty incredible.”

“One man drove here from Wisconsin just to donate,” he said. “This was very last-minute, too. We decided to do this about 24 hours ago, but we got the word out through social me-

dia.”

Children had fun playing in the bounce house, getting their faces painted and “bowling” with team mascot Victor E. Huskie before heading into the stadium for the game.

Matt Magnafici of Dixon brought his family to the block party. He said his son, Sage, 9, wants to play football for the Huskies and was “very excited” about Saturday’s game.

“The kids love NIU and all the Huskie events,” he said.

“We want to expose them to college activities at an early age.”

The Dog House, DeKalb’s first food truck, made its debut Saturday. The food truck, which is run by NIU graduates, serves gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches. There was a long line outside the truck for most of the afternoon, and Schaumburg resident Tom Pontikis could understand why.

“It’s excellent,” Pontikis said. “I got the trifecta sandwich, which is cheese, bacon and chicken. Just fantastic

food.”

Huskies fans also were able to renew or buy season tickets for the 2015 football season.

Chris Radford, an employee of NIU athletics, said this year fans can buy a family plan, or a “mini-plan,” which is three home games.

“We’ve had a lot of people interested in checking out the new team and the new plans,” Radford said. “We’ve sold about 1,000 more tickets this year than we did last year at this time. Plus this year is the 50th anniversary of Huskie Stadium.”

White said he’s very excited about the 2015 season, and wasn’t surprised there are more tickets being sold this year.

“We’ve got some quality opponents coming to Huskie Stadium,” he said. “We’ll be promoting the anniversary of the stadium all season. The fans are at the forefront of what we’re doing at NIU athletics.”

Hi, I’m Rodney. I have some pretty bad vision problems, but please don’t let that scare you off! It doesn’t stop me from getting around and doing most everything cats with great eyesight do. I’m a quiet guy who would sure like to find a family I could call my very own. If you have other cats it won’t bother me a bit. I’m used to living with plenty of other cats.

In fact, I came to TAILS with other cats because my person couldn’t take care of all of us. What I would love most of all would be a warm, loving home with someone who would enjoy having an affectionate kitty curled up on their lap. Not all the time, of course. I’m happy hanging out while you go about your day. Don’t I sound like just the cat you’ve been looking for?

Rubio looks to find his opening in the 2016 Republican field

By JULIE PACE The Associated Press

Lathan Goumas file photo – lgoumas@shawmedia.com

Gov. Bruce Rauner talks with Governors State University President Elaine Maimon after speaking Friday in the Robert W. Plaster Free Enterprise Center on the campus of the university in Joliet. Rauner has begun putting a finer point on his legislative agenda, telling voters, elected officials and newspaper editorial boards during his tour of the state that his business-friendly plan is vital to improving the state’s economy.

Rauner further details turnaround agenda

By SARA BURNETT and KERRY LESTER The Associated Press CHICAGO – Gov. Bruce Rauner has begun putting a finer point on his legislative agenda, telling voters, elected officials and newspaper editorial boards during a tour of Illinois last week that his business-friendly plan is vital to improving the state’s economy.

During appearances in which he made several provocative comments, the Republican tried to build support for his proposals before legislators return to Springfield this week.

Among them are a reduction in the cost of workers’ compensation insurance, tighter restrictions on eligibility for unemployment benefits and changes to the judicial system.

He said he would back a modest increase in the minimum wage if the Democratic-controlled Legislature supports his plans.

“If we make those kinds of changes, we’ll increase our competitiveness, we’ll grow more jobs,” Rauner said during a stop in the Chicago suburb of Bedford Park.

Many Democrats, labor unions and the Illinois Trial Lawyers Association have heavily criticized Rauner’s proposals, calling them anti-worker and questioning his priorities amid a serious budget crisis.

Indeed, Rauner told the Chicago Tribune’s editorial board that he plans to “leverage” the budget crisis to get the Legislature to back his plans.

Here’s a closer look at some of the new details in Rauner’s agenda:

WORKERS’ COMPENSATION High on the list of Rauner’s priorities is reducing the amount employers pay for workers’ compensation insurance. Illinois currently ranks 7th nationwide for the highest cost per $100 of salary, according to the Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services, he notes.

Rauner said one of the reasons for high costs is that Illinois compensates workers

“If we make those kinds of changes, we’ll increase our competitiveness, we’ll grow more jobs.”

Bruce Rauner Illinois governor

for injuries that are related in any way to their job. He wants to raise that standard so workers only would be compensated if an on-the-job accident is more than 50 percent responsible for the injury.

He also wants to cut the fees paid to some medical providers by 30 percent, and end compensation for injuries that occur while an employee is traveling to and from work.

Opponents say the changes create a system that’s stacked against workers, who could be burned, maimed or injured in other ways but receive no compensation.

They also say changes approved in 2011 created huge savings, but insurance companies aren’t passing those savings along to employers.

Labor unions also worry that changes could create a disincentive for employers to provide safe workplaces.

Rauner said if the changes are enacted, he’ll support increasing the minimum wage by 25 cents per year beginning in 2016, reaching $10 per hour by 2022. That’s much slower than Democrats would like.

LEGAL SYSTEM Rauner wants to make it more difficult for plaintiffs in lawsuits to “venue shop,” or to file cases in courts they believe will be friendlier to their cases. He would allow lawsuits to be filed in locations only where corporations have an office or do business.

The plan also would allow for lawsuits to be dismissed if defendants aren’t Illinois residents or the business transaction in question doesn’t take place in Illinois.

John Cooney, president of the Illinois Trial Lawyers Association, said the state already has a system in place for attorneys to argue – and a judge to decide – whether a lawsuit is filed in the proper venue.

He also opposes Rauner’s proposal to only allow a com-

pany to be sued in a county where it has an office, noting that many companies don’t have offices in Illinois and that it might be too difficult for the average person to sue such companies in out-of-state courts.

Rauner told the Daily Herald’s editorial board that he thinks the Illinois Supreme Court is part of a “corrupt system” because justices can get campaign donations from attorneys who argue before the court.

He said he’d favor merit selection of judges over elections, and he wants to ban trial lawyers from making campaign contributions.

The governor later told the Quad-City Times that he didn’t mean to single out the high court, adding “I probably didn’t use words carefully enough.”

Cooney called the comments “preposterous” and out-of-line for a chief executive.

“He owes the state an apology,” he said.

UNEMPLOYMENT The governor said he doesn’t think Illinois’ unemployment insurance system is fair to employers, noting that Illinois ranks ninth in the U.S. in unemployment insurance tax costs for the average fulltime employee, according to the U.S. Labor Department.

Rauner said he’d like to impose tougher penalties for fraud and strengthen enforcement, and he wants to further restrict worker eligibility for unemployment benefits.

Currently, any worker who makes $1,600 or more from an employer during a recent 12-month period prior to being laid off is eligible to receive unemployment benefits.

Rauner said that minimum amount was established 30 years ago and should be increased, though his office didn’t say what the new amount should be.

WASHINGTON – If Marco Rubio launches his presidential campaign as expected today, the first-term Republican senator from Florida may have to answer this simple question. Why now?

The 43-year-old Rubio, a rising star on Capitol Hill, could wait four more years, even eight, and still be a relatively young candidate.

Some party officials want him run for governor or try to hold his Senate seat, which could be crucial to continued GOP control of the chamber.

By training his sights on the White House, Rubio also sets up a head-to-head competition with Jeb Bush, a mentor with whom he has many overlapping supporters.

But the window to run for president can close as quickly as it opens.

Then-Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois seized an opportunity in 2008 and won. Donors clamored for New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie to run in 2012, but he declined and now heads into the 2016 campaign in a decidedly weaker position.

“There’s no telling that [Rubio’s] opportunity will be better four or eight years from

now,” said Fergus Cullen, the former New Hampshire Republican chairman who is yet to throw his support behind a candidate.

Rubio’s advisers know all about the fickle preferences of the electorate. Rubio was a beneficiary of the 2010 tea party wave that swept dozens of conservative lawmakers into Congress just two years after Obama and Democrats won big.

Rubio was expected to announce his Marco Rubio c a n d i d a c y today in his hometown of Miami, which would put him in the shadow of Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton’s own announcement Sunday of a second White House run.

But Rubio’s team sees an opportunity to answer the “why now” question and argue the country’s pressing problems require a new generation of leaders, not a return to the 1990s.

Rubio is about to step into a field that is shaping up to be crowded and competitive.

He won’t be the only senator in the race.

He won’t be the only tea party-aligned candidate.

He won’t even be the only Floridian, the only Cuban-American or the only candidate claiming foreign policy expertise.

Some are better known – Bush, for one.

But it is early, and Rubio’s advisers say they are playing a long game. “Campaigns are won at the end, not at the beginning,” said Alex Conant, Rubio’s spokesman.

Miami’s Freedom Tower was picked as the expected backdrop for Rubio’s campaign announcement. The landmark was once the federal processing center for tens of thousands of Cuban exiles arriving in the U.S. in the 1960s and 1970s.

Rubio’s parents left Cuba in 1956, shortly before Fidel Castro took power.

The senator plans to make his family’s immigrant past and his own success story a central part of his campaign.

He also intends to play up his hawkish foreign policy views and experience on two powerful national security-focused Senate committees as he tries to sell his qualifications to be commander in chief.

Rubio was expected to return to Washington in time for a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing Tuesday on Iran.

With Iran and now Cuba, Obama breakthroughs face hard sell

By JIM KUHNHENN The Associated Press WASHINGTON – After breakthroughs abroad, President Barack Obama is finding stern challenges at home to his foreign policy, facing hard sells to skeptics over U.S. shifts, first on Iran and now Cuba.

Obama returned to Washington early Sunday still basking in the attention from his historic meeting with Cuban President Raul Castro at a summit of Western Hemisphere leaders. But Obama is certain to find a less appreciative crowd in Congress than the one he left behind at the Summit of the Americas in

Panama.

To complete a nuclear agreement with Iran, Obama must deal with resistance in Congress and the unpredictability of the Iranian leadership, which has a distinctly different interpretation of what the sides have settled on Barack so far.

Obama Cuba and Iran offer Obama, whose term ends in early 2017, the potential for legacy-crowning achievements. Iran may prove a greater challenge than Cuba, but together they are subject-

ing Obama’s foreign policy to the kind of scrutiny that most international issues, short of war, rarely draw.

Obama made clear in a closing news conference late Saturday in Panama City that he believes he can handle the twin trials. The American public is on his side on Cuba, the president said, and he had tough words for Republicans defying him on Iran.

Both have their roots in decades of grievances. Both have had constituencies in the U.S. deeply mistrustful of the governments with which Obama is dealing. Pro-Israel Americans cannot fathom a deal with an Iran that will not recognize Israel’s existence.

In Congress, doing ‘nothing’ can mean doing something big

By CONNIE CASS The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Congress has been on spring break for two weeks, officially doing nothing.

Could be a useful strategy.

Sure, lawmakers are clamoring to get at some issues, such as President Barack Obama’s nuclear negotiations with Iran, when they return today. But in other cases, doing nothing is a way to get things done.

For example, a true “do-nothing Congress” could shut down the 81-year-old Export-Import bank without lifting a finger.

The bank, which helps U.S. exporters compete in foreign markets, will close if Congress doesn’t act on the bank’s expiring charter by June 30. Some conservative lawmakers and advocacy groups are pushing for that outcome, against strong business support for the bank.

Lawmakers hoping to kill three hotly debated surveillance powers in the Patriot Act, including the National Security Agency’s bulk collection of telephone records, win if Congress does nothing.

The provisions are set to expire June 1, although supporters are urging their re-

newal to combat terrorism.

Every year, by doing nothing, members of Congress can take an automatic pay raise, while letting inflation erode the value of the minimum wage.

“Not doing something is a decision,” said former Rep. Mickey Edwards, a Republican who represented Oklahoma in Congress for 16 years. “That’s one of the things that gets overlooked sometimes.”

The salary question has become more visible since the recession, and lawmakers have blocked their annual raises each year since 2010. They haven’t raised the minimum wage, either.

CEO in medical marijuana dispute with Illinois dies CHICAGO – Authorities in Cook County are investigating the death of the CEO of a company involved in a lawsuit with the state of Illinois over the company’s failed bid for a medical marijuana-farming permit.

The Chicago Sun-Times reported that 51-year-old Andrew

James was found unresponsive in his Kenilworth home Thursday.

Authorities are awaiting test results after an autopsy was inconclusive.

James headed PM Rx. A spokesman for the company said it would meet soon to discuss how to proceed without James as CEO. PM Rx filed a lawsuit alleging it lost its bid for a permit because the Illinois Department of Agriculture broke rules when awarding permits.

Census estimates show fewer county residents BELLEVILLE – New estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau show Madison and St. Clair counties in southern Illinois are

shrinking in population.

The Belleville News-Democrat reports that Madison County, where Edwardsville and Granite City are located, has lost more than 2,700 people. That’s measured from the April 2010 census through population estimates for 2014.

Drunken driving bills wait votes in Illinois House SPRINGFIELD – Two bills that would affect motorists with repeat drunken driving convictions are awaiting votes in the Illinois House.

One measure would require offenders with at least two convictions to participate for at least five years in the state’s

Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Device, or BAIID, program before their drivers’ license can be reinstated. The program requires offenders to blow into a tube that measures blood alcohol levels before they can start their cars.

The other measure would allow offenders with four or more drunken driving convictions the chance to get a restricted driving permit. Those who apply must prove they are alcohol and drug free for at least three years and have the ignition devices installed in their vehicles. Currently drivers with four or more DUIs have their licenses revoked for life.

Islamic State militants destroy the ancient Iraqi Assyrian city of Nimrud, a site dating back to the 13th century B.C., on Saturday near the militant-held city of Mosul, Iraq.

Islamic State group destroys ancient ruins of Nimrud

By SINAN SALAHEDDIN The Associated Press BAGHDAD – Islamic State militants hammered, bulldozed and ultimately blew up parts of the ancient Iraqi Assyrian city of Nimrud, destroying a site dating back to the 13th century B.C., an online militant video purportedly shows.

The destruction at Nimrud, located near the militant-held city of Mosul, came amid other attacks on antiquity carried out by the group now holding a third of Iraq and neighboring Syria in its self-declared caliphate. The attacks have horrified archaeologists and U.N. Secretary-General Ban Kimoon, who last month called the destruction at Nimrud “a war crime.”

The seven-minute video, posted late Saturday, shows bearded militants using sledgehammers, jackhammers and saws to take down huge alabaster reliefs depicting Assyrian kings and deities. A bulldozer brings down walls, while militants fill barrels with explosives and later destroy three separate areas of the site in massive explosions.

“God has honored us in the Islamic State to remove all of these idols and statutes worshipped instead of Allah in the past days,” one militant says in the video. Another militant vows that “whenever we seize

a piece of land, we will remove signs of idolatry and spread monotheism.”

The militants have been destroying ancient relics they say promote idolatry that violate their fundamentalist interpretation of Islamic law, including the ancient Iraqi city of Hatra, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Authorities also believe they’ve sold others on the black market to fund their atrocities.

Some of the figures in the video released Saturday at Nimrud appeared to have rebar, ribbed bars of steels designed to reinforce concrete that are a technique of modern building. An Iraqi Antiquities Ministry official, speaking Sunday on the condition of anonymity as he wasn’t authorized to talk to journalists, said all the items at Nimrud were authentic. In March, both Iraqi and United Nations officials warned the site had been looted and damaged.

The video conformed to other Associated Press reporting about the militants’ attack.

The Assyrians first rose around 2,500 B.C. and at one point ruled over a realm stretching from the Mediterranean coast to what is present-day Iran. They left dozens of palaces and temples decorated with huge reliefs mainly depicting their kings’ military campaigns and conquests, hunting lions and making

sacrifices to the gods. Their main hallmark was the colossal winged man-headed lions or bulls, protective deities put at the entrances of palaces and temples weighing about 10-30 tons each.

Located on the eastern side of the Tigris River, Nimrud, or Kalhu, was founded in the 13th century B.C. During the reign of King Ashurnasirpal II, Nimrud served as the second capital for Assyrian Empire. Other Assyrian capitals were Ashur, Dur Sharrukin and Ninevah.

Excavations at Nimrud were first started by the British traveler and archaeologist Austen Henry Layard from 1845 to 1851, followed by other foreign and local excavation missions.

The city is surrounded by a four-side wall measuring 5 miles long. Among the ruins are the grand palace of Ashurnasirpal II, as well as the temples of Nabu, the god of writing and the arts, and other temples.

Among the most significant discoveries at Nimrud were four tombs of royal women.

There, a collection of 613 pieces of gold jewelry and precious stones were unearthed. They survived the looting of the Iraqi National Museum that followed the U.S.-led invasion in 2003 as they were kept in a vault at the Central Bank of Iraq building by Saddam Hussein’s government.

Sudan leader set to extend chaotic rule in lackluster vote

“I’d give anything to make it stop!”

That’s what most people will tell you when asked about their digestive problems.

“It’s just horrible says Ralph Burns, a former digestion victim. I was tortured for years by my Acid-Relux. My wife sufers with digestion problems too. If she eats one wrong thing, she spends hours stuck in the bathroom dealing with severe bouts of constipation or diarrhea.”

FDA Warns About Popular Antacids A recent FDA warning explained that excessive use of antacids could lead to an increased risk of hip, wrist, and spine fractures. Especially in people over the age of 50.

So when AloeCure® was presented on National TV, you can imagine how thrilled people were to ind out they could inally get relief without having to rely on pharmaceutical proton pump inhibitors. But now, your stomach problems could be over by simply drinking a small amount of a tasty Aloe Vera extract everyday. It’s as simple as that!

Drug Companies Threatened by Natural Digestion Miracle Nationwide Relief...

Over 4-million bottles sold!

Seattle, WA: All across the country, those sufering with digestion issues are thrilled with the relief they get from a new, natural remedy called AloeCure®.

“More than ever, digestion suferers are locking to our remarkable product; especially since the FDA has come down so hard on popular antacids like Nexium®, Prilosec®, Prevacid® and other proton pump inhibitors.

By MAGGIE MICHAEL The Associated Press KHARTOUM, Sudan – Sudan’s President Omar alBashir, the world’s only sitting leader wanted on genocide charges, is expected to win a landslide victory in elections this week, extending a 25-year reign in which the country has endured multiple insurgencies and the secession of the oilrich south.

Despite Sudan’s seemingly perpetual unrest, al-Bashir survived the 2011 Arab Spring.

His ruling party dominates the parliament and local councils, and the massive security apparatus has left the once-vibrant opposition a husk of its former self.

Al-Bashir has ruled the country since taking power in a 1989 coup, but billboards across Khartoum showing him in traditional robes or military fatigues proclaim: “We lead reform, we continue the renaissance.”

The unrest sweeping the region may have convinced many Sudanese that al-Bashir’s continued rule is preferable to the even greater chaos that could follow his departure.

“The states’ collapse and the fall of the army in several Arab countries in the aftermath of the Arab uprisings made people think twice before moving against al-Bashir and calling for his immediate departure,” said rights lawyer Nabil Adeeb. “For many, Sudan could turn into a new

Somalia.”

Almost 13 million people are registered to vote for president and the 450-member legislative council starting Monday. Some 11,000 polling centers will be open through Wednesday, and results are expected April 27.

The vote is being greeted with widespread apathy, in part because the 15 candidates allowed to compete with alBashir are virtually unknown to the public. The government is nevertheless hoping for a wide turnout, and many expect a repeat of the vote-rigging that took place during the first multi-candidate election in 2010, when al-Bashir won with 68 percent.

“There is one candidate and the rest are extras,” said Ahmed Mazamel, sitting with

friends in a downtown Khartoum coffee shop. “Dictatorships need fake elections to stay in power longer.”

“I have nothing to do with these elections. There is no use,” Azzam Salah, from Port Sudan state, said. “I can recognize only one face among the 16 running – the current president.”

And yet the vote is not entirely meaningless, at least for al-Bashir himself, and religious authorities have instructed Muslim clerics to encourage people to vote.

As long as he remains in office, al-Bashir will not be sent to the International Criminal Court on charges of orchestrating genocide during the Darfur conflict, which left 300,000 people dead and 2 million displaced.

It only lasted a minute, if that, Schultz said. When it was over, he was buried up to his knees in rubble. He could hear a propane tank hissing in the background. He dug himself free with the help of a neighbor, who told him not to look down.

“I said, ‘Why not?’ He says, ‘Because Geri is under there, and she’s dead,’ ” Schultz said.

“I felt her wrist, feeling for her pulse. There was no pulse. [My neighbor] said ‘Now we got to get you out of here, because you might burn up. There’s nothing you can do for her.’ ” Schultz being “tall, very powerful and assertive.” She worked with Section 8 housing in Carpentersville.

“She had to be tough,” Schultz said. “She’s the one who took them to court and evicted them for being bad boys.”

Geraldine Schultz was 67.

She was one of two people who lost their lives when an EF4 tornado leveled parts of the rural community of Fairdale with 180 to 200 mph winds. Jacklyn K. Klosa, 69, of Fairdale also was killed when the tornado hit her home, where she was taking shelter in a bathroom.

Eleven others were injured, authorities said.

Healing and recovery for Schultz and the rest of the 150-some residents of Fairdale continued into Sunday, as residents, their families and friends, officials throughout DeKalb County, and other volunteers searched amid the wreckage for fragments of their lives.

Sheriff Roger Scott said he expected ComEd would replace downed electrical poles today and restore power to Fairdale no later than Tuesday.

“That is one of the major priorities,” Scott said. “Even with that, it will be limited to the houses that will be able to have power. There’s not a lot of things left in most of the areas.”

DeKalb County officials will continue to inspect the houses today, as well, and tag the houses and the areas where it is safe to restore electricity.

Kirkland Fire Chief Chad Connell said no more donations are being accepted.

“We could no longer accept the stuff just because of the magnitude of what’s there,” Connell said during a news conference. “It’s been pleasantly overwhelming.”

On Sunday, Scott also said that a pet monke inside one of the houses had died at some point Saturday, but the reason was unknown. He said the residents did have the proper permit to keep the monkey as a pet.

Fairdale on Sunday bustled with volunteers and residents digging through the rubble, and was expected to continue despite rain in the forecast.

Everyone on the scene wore gloves as they handled debris.

Heavy machinery helped dig through the deeper piles of splintered wood, walls and home decor.

The community is making “significant progress,” Scott said.

“Their courage is amazing,” he said. “It’s a difficult time for them in many ways.”

At one point, cheers of joy and excitement rang out through the community.

Geanelle Nelson and the rest of her family had found an invaluable family treasure: Her great-grandmother’s griddle, which was passed down to her mother, Irene Clay.

“Anyone comes to town, they call her up and say, ‘Hey, you gotta make Swedish pancakes,’ ” Nelson said. “It’s been in the family for a long time.

We’ve all made Swedish pancakes, [but] they never come out like mom’s. So, we’ve come to decide it’s the pan they’re actually on. Best griddle ever.”

Kirkland Community Fire Chief Chad Connell said donations would not be accepted any more after Sunday. However, relief agencies have been on the scene and accept donations.

Donations can be made to the Red Cross by visiting www.redcross.org, calling 800-RED CROSS or texting the word REDCROSS to 90999 to make a $10 donation.

Donations to The Salvation Army can be made online at www. salarmychicago.org/dekalb/, or by calling 800-SAL-ARMY. To make an automatic $10 donation to support local Salvation Army disaster response efforts you can also Text SACHICAGO to 80888, She said it was one of the two most important things the family wanted to find, next to her brother-in-law Ron Hopper’s pants, which contained his ID. Hopper was on the scene, wearing donated clothes, and digging through his home just off Brown Street.

He pointed to where he, his wife and Clay, his mother-inlaw, had taken refuge in the basement Thursday, which now was just open space. Inside was a blood-splattered brick that Hopper said hit his wife, requiring her to go to the hospital for treatment.

Hopper said the family’s not sure if the they will rebuild the house.

“All [Clay] said is ‘I don’t think so,’ ” Hopper said. “She’s not going to get enough money out of this to rebuild around here.”

Workers from D. Ryan Tree and Landscaping Services LLC and Midwest Tree Service, both based in DeKalb, have been in Fairdale since the tornado struck Thursday, removing trees that had landed on houses and that blocked roadways to allow residents safe

access to their homes. About 7,000 yards of wood chips have been collected since, 2,000 of which were collected Sunday alone, D. Ryan owner and certified arborist DaRin Ryan said.

“We got all the hazardous material off the roads and around the houses that we can see at this point,” he said, adding that the collected tree and wood chips would be recycled.

Overall, morale seemed to be on the upswing Sunday, Volunteers worked together to uncover what they could, and the American Red Cross, The Salvation Army and insurance companies made rounds to assist where they could. Lutheran Church Charities, based in Addison, was on hand as well with comfort dogs Sunday, walking golden retrievers and other friendly dogs throughout the site for residents and those affected to pet and play with, which some residents did.

Schultz, who had his fair share of bruises from the wreckage, found his dog, a white German shepherd named Missy, on Saturday. He took a break from sifting through the remains of his house Sunday because his back hurt, he said.

He said his wife was good friends with Klosa, the other victim in the disaster.

“They had each other’s back no matter what,” Schultz said. “Jackie lost her driver’s license for a while because of a medical condition, so Geri was driving her all over. Geri won’t ride in a car. She’s the world’s worst passenger, I always kidded her. I let her drive because when she’s in the car, she embarrasses me with her head hanging out the window and her ears flapping in the breeze.”

He said he plans to one day rebuild on his property, but for now, he’s too focused on living.

“I’m too young to die,” Schultz said. “I’m only 84.”

Donations pour in for residents affected • DONATIONS Continued from page A1 In nearby Kirkland, Hiawatha District 426 students and parents were joined by community members helping to process donations of clothing, shoes, household items and baby gear at Franklin Township Park.

People drove vehicles filled with donations to the park from as far away as Chicago.

When they arrived, volunteers would unload and sort them.

By noon, two of the buildings at the park were almost filled with items.

“It’s been quite amazing, I didn’t think there would be this much stuff,” said Adam Spear, a 16-year-old volunteer and Hiawatha student. “Pretty much everyone here has been affected because it’s such a small community.”

Pablo Mattern, a 16-year-old foreign exchange student from Madrid, Spain, who has been living in Kirkland for the past seven months, has been volunteering with one project or another since the tornado hit.

“It feels really good to be helping people,” he said while sorting through donations at Franklin Township Park over the weekend. “Last night when I went to sleep, I knew that I had done something good for others.”

Even as the donations stacked up, volunteers kept working.

“It’s been amazing, unbelievable,” said Shelly Edwards, president of the Hiawatha parent-teacher organization. “We don’t want to turn people away, but we’re pretty much at capacity.”

Edwards and others organized the collection campaign at the Kirkland park to ease space constraints at the village’s fire department, which had been turned into a staging area for relief efforts after the

disaster.

Fairdale is “like our little sister city,” Kirkland Village President Les Bellah said Saturday.

The EF 4 tornado that struck Fairdale at 7:15 p.m. Thursday killed two women, sent 11 others to the hospital and left a path of destruction in its wake.

“When they hurt, we hurt,” Bellah said. “When they die, a little bit of us dies.”

Kirkland Village Clerk Terri D’Amato, who has been helping to coordinate the influx of donations and keep the village’s website updated for those who want to help, called the community’s generosity “overwhelming.”

“I was flabbergasted,” she said. “We are receiving donations from all over the country.

Space is becoming an issue because so many people have donated.”

DeKalb County’s efforts to help Fairdale extended far beyond Kirkland. The city of DeKalb set up a drop-off site at City Hall on Saturday. By the end of the day, the city had more than a truckload worth of donations. Donations also were collected at many area businesses, DeKalb Mayor John Rey said.

“I’m very pleased with the community outpouring of support,” he said Sunday.

Students at Sycamore High School collected more than $3,100 in gift cards for the tornado relief effort and the school also delivered more than 2,000 nonperishable food items. At the “Sycamore’s Got Talent” show, Sycamore High School raised $622.50 for the DeKalb County Red Cross, Athletic Director Chauncey Carrick said.

In addition, a GoFundMe campaign started by the village of Kirkland as the official Fairdale Relief Fund had raised more than $40,000 from 572 people. The campaign’s goal initially was to raise $25,000. The goal was later raised to $50,000.

Donations can be made online at www.gofundme.com/rk72t88r.

“This is small-town America at it’s very best,” Bellah said.

The need for these services is ever present and increasing.

The Center for Counseling is partnered with the Children’s Advocacy Center to provide subsequent trauma-focused therapy for the children who were subject to abuse, as well as their non-offending family members, regardless of the financial ability to pay for services.

All proceeds from the Walk to End Child Abuse remain within Family Service Agency to allow for the continuation of services toward local children in need.

This event is instrumental in creating a positive impact in these children’s lives.

By Denise Freese If you are eligible for Medicare, then you are also eligible for Medicare Part D (Prescription Drug coverage). If you have limited income and can’t afford your medications, even though you receive Medicare Part D benefits, you might qualify for the Extra Help program, which offers financial assistance for your monthly premium, annual deductible, and prescription co-payments. According to www.ssa.gov/medicare/prescriptionhelp, the Extra Help program is estimated to be worth about $4,000 per year.

Many people qualify for these savings and don’t realize it.

To qualify, you must be receiving Medicare, have limited resources and income, and reside in one of the 50 states or the District of Columbia. If your resources and income are higher than the stated limits, you still may qualify if you support other family members who live with you, if you have earnings from work, or if you live in Alaska or Hawaii.

Cancer surge in China prompts rise of patient hotels

By JACK CHANG The Associated Press BEIJING – Li Xiaohe has set herself up for the long haul in a cramped but sunny room in western Beijing, about a block from China’s most renowned cancer hospital. Her laundry dries on hangers and her husband cooks in a communal kitchen as she embarks on an 84-day program of chemotherapy, following the removal of part of her right breast.

The youthful, soft-spoken 43-year-old, who works as a neighborhood watch leader back home in Henan province, is living in one of the many socalled cancer hotels that dot the neighborhood around the hospital, giving patients an affordable, cozy place to wait for appointments and undergo outpatient treatment.

With lung, bowel and breast cancer rates surging in China, such hotels have sprouted up in big cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, part of an ad hoc response to what medical experts say is a growing health crisis challenging an unprepared medical system.

“The treatment back home is different from here, so we came here,” Li says in her bedroom, which is filled almost completely by her mattress. “At home, my insurance covers 85 percent of the cost. It’ll be good if I can even get half of it covered here. But I’m doing this for

These patients venture far for treatment believing they can’t find adequate care in hometowns, instead preferring to camp out near reputable, big-city hospitals to await their turn for care. They do that even though government health insurance often covers less of the cost of care in Beijing and other big cities than it does back home.

The hotels, which mostly operate informally, don’t provide nursing but put patients closer

to medical services and experts, and give them a place to cook their own food and share tips with fellow patients.

Despite their name, they are not traditional hotels, but furnished units in apartment blocks near medical facilities, charging as little as $7 a night per room. And while they occupy a legal gray zone, doctors often refer patients to them, and state-run media have published glowing articles about the need they are fulfilling.

They reflect a health emergency that has seen the num-

ber of lung cancer diagnoses nationwide jump by 16 percent in two years, and the lung cancer rate in Beijing soar by 60 percent over a decade, according to Chinese government figures. Lung cancer mortality rates grew from around 50 per 100,000 men in 2000 to nearly 60 per 100,000 a dozen years later, World Health Organization data show. Breast cancer rates also have grown among women, killing almost as many of them yearly as lung cancer.

By comparison, male lung cancer mortality rates in the

United States have dropped from 55 per 100,000 people in 2000 to 40 in 2012, and from almost 25 per 100,000 Brazilian men in 2000 to 20 in 2012, according to WHO. Persistently high rates of smoking as well as toxic air pollution help explain much of the rise, said Angela Pratt, who leads WHO’s work in China on tobacco control and non-communicable diseases such as cancer and heart disease.

“The rates of cancer, both the number of cases and the rates at which people are dying of cancer, are increasing in China, and that’s obviously a cause for very significant concern,” Pratt said. “That’s a huge increase in a relatively short amount of time. I would say it’s a critical situation.”

Visible evidence of that surge fills the Beijing Cancer Hospital, where hundreds of patients, some still wheeling suitcases from their long journeys, fill the corridors waiting for hours to be called. The hospital declined a request to speak to doctors or administrators there. China’s National Health and Family Planning Commission also didn’t respond to an interview request.

Cui Xiaobo, a newly retired social medicine professor at the Capital Medical University in Beijing, said sweeping health reforms that are still in the works would bring equal levels of care to people in cities and

rural areas alike. Cui said rural doctors often aren’t adequately paid, which requires that they squeeze in extra patients or suggest unnecessary treatments to bring in more revenue.

In his view, pollution couldn’t yet be linked to rising cancer rates; instead, he said, much of the trend stemmed from higher life expectancy in China with the result that more elderly were being diagnosed with the disease.

“With cancer, there’s no single cause,” Cui said. “If there were a single cause, then it’d be easy to cure.”

What’s clear is the cancer surge in China is remaking the country. Experts have documented hundreds of cases of “cancer villages,” or communities hit by higher-than-average cancer rates due to polluting nearby industries. In 2013, Chinese were shocked to learn of an 8-year-old girl billed as the country’s youngest lung cancer patient, the result, her doctors said, of eastern China’s choking air pollution.

Pratt said air pollution was clearly playing a role, as were smoking, unhealthy diets and obesity.

“Air pollution is now a recognized carcinogen, so there’s no question that the hazardous levels of air pollution we’re seeing in many parts of China are contributing to the increasing rates in particular of lung cancer,” Pratt said.

Tubman a good option for $20 bill

More is not merrier in our congested cities New York and San Francisco are expensive places to live. That’s a big problem for the nation because these cities are centers for the booming knowledge economy. High housing costs discourage this growth.

So sayeth The Economist, its trademark voice of reason spiked with charges of greed against those who would resist the god of gross domestic product. The venerable British magazine has a prescription, unfortunately: Make housing cheaper by building higher and denser and degrading the local zoning laws.

Plopped where a bungalow used to be is a skyscraper of conclusions built on a plywood foundation. Let us dismantle the top hundred floors.

Because of building restrictions, The Economist says, “American GDP in 2009 was as much as 13.5 percent lower than it otherwise could have been.”

New Yorkers trying to squeeze into Grand Central Terminal at 4:30 on a working afternoon are not so much worried about GDP as finding a free square foot on the crowded sidewalk; not that their opinions matter. The questionable assumption is that there’s no level of discomfort they won’t put up with.

In reference to San Francisco, The Economist writes, “Many workers will take lower-paying jobs elsewhere because the income left over after paying for cheaper housing is more attractive.What’s wrong with that? The American heartland is home to superb cities with far lower

Religious freedom fight an illuminating moment in history

By DAVID A. STRAUSS The Washington Post Both sides seem to want to strike a pose of wounded innocence in the dispute about laws passed by Indiana and Arkansas to exempt religious believers from legal requirements that conflict with their beliefs.

Supporters of the laws insist that they have nothing to do with same-sex marriage or the rights of gay people. The laws, we’re supposed to believe, are simply about religious freedom, which everyone likes, or big government, which no one does.

But the opponents of those laws, while not as disingenuous, are faking it, too. They are scrambling to find differences between what Indiana and Arkansas have passed and the similar federal and state laws that have been on the books for years. That way the opponents can avoid saying what they actually believe: When it comes to same-sex marriage, the law should sometimes forbid people from acting even on their sincere religious beliefs.

That’s what this controversy is really about. It’s not a misunderstanding that can be “clarified” by some technical amendment, as Indiana at-

tempted to do. It is a big and illuminating moment in history – a conflict between the demands of religion and the demands of society. Such conflicts can sometimes be a terrible thing, but they also can be a source of great moral progress.

In this kind of conflict, religion is not always the bad guy, but it is also not always the good guy, and it does not always lose or always win.

Religion and society mold each other. Sometimes, religion forces itself on society and on the state in ways that we should all be thankful for. Religious groups played a crucial role in the abolition of slavery, and they were hugely important in the struggle for civil rights in the mid-20th century. Religious groups often have been the most important advocates of doing more for the poor and for society’s outcasts. In all those ways and many others, religious groups have made a recalcitrant society conform to a vision rooted in religious belief, and we are immeasurably better off for it.

On the other hand, for centuries, freedom to act on one’s conscientious religious beliefs would have meant, for many, the freedom to kill heretics and

infidels. Pressure from the state and society forced religious adherents to behave better, and over time – this is the important part – the religions themselves changed their doctrines and belief systems to conform to society’s demands. Religions that not so long ago preached intolerance now condemn persecution and embrace the diversity of religious belief.

More recently, we have seen religious believers abandon white supremacy as a creed and, more recently still (and, in many cases, not completely), accept that women should have the same freedom as men to choose their own destiny. The religious doctrines changed for many reasons, but change they did, and that was partly because the larger society insisted that discriminatory behavior change.

The change in belief followed.

The defenders of laws such as Indiana’s don’t like to talk about this. They act as if no one’s conscientious religious beliefs ever dictated discrimination. The defenders of these laws don’t want to acknowledge – what is surely true – that even today there are employers who do not want to hire women because their sincere religious belief is that women should

keep the home and raise the children. The government does not allow those people to act on their religious beliefs. There is a sense in which that kind of coercion is tragic, but it also is progress.

What we are seeing now is progress: one of those moments in history when pressure from the larger society pushes against religious belief and insists that believers, at least when doing business with the public, not act even on sincere objections to same-sex marriage. Already we have seen those religious objections diminish as religions accommodate themselves to the principle that gay people should not be discriminated against. But the process is incomplete. Of course, there is room for debate about the pace of change, and there always is an imperative to act respectfully toward those with whom one disagrees. But this is a difficult, challenging conflict, the birth pangs of a new wave of equality. We should not expect it to be easy, and we should recognize it for the momentous event that it is.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

No woman is depicted on U.S. paper currency.

This makes our money a bit exceptional among the banknotes of our international peers, several of which – including Britain, Canada, Australia, Japan and Mexico – have emblazoned paper money with various national heroines’ portraits. In this country, suffragist Susan B. Anthony and the Native American explorer Sacagawea grace little-used dollar coins, but it’s not quite the same. So an Internet movement calling itself “WomenOn20s” has started crowd-sourcing the selection of a proposed female replacement for President Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill – to be followed by an actual request for a substitution to President Barack Obama. It might actually come to pass. Obama has expressed broad sympathy with the idea, and he has full legal authority, through the secretary of the Treasury, to order a redesign.

We’re for it – with a caveat or two. By now, the contributions of women to the United States’ history need no elaboration, but they still are insufficiently acknowledged in the paraphernalia of nationhood, such as paper money; the mostly presidential and entirely male white faces of which were selected in 1929. Our pick for a female addition would be Harriet Tubman, the courageous African-American who escaped from slavery in Maryland, helped others do the same, served the Union as an intelligence agent during the Civil War and then, after the war, advocated women’s suffrage.

The $20 bill is a likely candidate for a change because, of the men on the four most widely circulated bills – George Washington on the $1, Abraham Lincoln on the $5, Alexander Hamilton on the $10 and Jackson – the latter’s reputation has undergone the greatest revision under modern scrutiny. Once unequivocally, and justly, lionized for victory at the Battle of New Orleans, for quelling the Nullification Crisis of 1832 and for leading a small-D democratic political movement, Old Hickory’s career nevertheless bears the taint of his cruel policy toward Native Americans.

Which brings us to our caveats: For all his flaws, Jackson’s ouster from the $20 could trigger a currency culture war between his defenders and detractors, potentially undermining the entire unifying spirit of the include-a-woman enterprise. It could also set off a cascade of controversies about the merits of everyone else on U.S. money. The solution is simple, really: add Tubman without subtracting Jackson. The government could issue the same number of 20s as always, half bearing Tubman’s face, half Jackson’s. Another option is bills with two faces each; other countries have done so.

Of course, all of this must be done with due consideration for the fact that money is, well, money; design changes to the world’s most widely used, and most recognizable, currency must therefore protect its security and foster confidence in it around the world.

Surely, though, these are superable obstacles. An appropriate representation of American women on the dollars they work so hard to earn should not be beyond the wit of man, or woman.

NORTHERN ILLINOIS FOOTBALL: HUSKIE BOWL

BLACKHAWKS: PLAYOFFS

Hawks eye next deep run

By ANDREW SELIGMAN The Associated Press

Monica Synett – msynett@shawmedia.com

Team Cardinal defensive end Cameron Clinton-Earl pulls Team Black tailback Keith Harris Jr. to the ground Saturday during the Huskie Bowl at Huskie Stadium in DeKalb.

Huskies show promise with spring season now over VIEWS Jesse Severson DeKALB – In a way, it didn’t seem right.

On the final play of the spring season for the Northern Illinois football team – in a Huskie Bowl that was dominated by both defenses – the offense scored on a 15-yard touchdown pass from Anthony Maddie to Christian Blake.

The Huskies spent all nine possessions of the Huskie Bowl, which was won, 21-0, by Team Black, showing the potential of a defense that could be dynamic in 2015 only to have the offense ride off into the sunset of spring ball with a touchdown.

But in the world of intrasquad scrimmages, for every positive play on one side of the ball means a negative play on the other.

“If you ask any defensive guy, they’d say (they won the spring season) and if you ask any offensive guy, they’d say (they won),” senior cornerback Paris Logan said after the Huskie Bowl.

“You can’t really judge are we better offensively or are we better defensively or special teams?”

Northern Illinois coach Rod Carey said. “You can judge by individuals, and I think some individuals really took some steps forward.

“Some days the offense won, some days the defense won so I don’t think there’s a clear-cut winner. I can always go away with happy – whoever did better that day I root for.”

For the 15th and final practice of the spring, the edge was decidedly in favor of the defense, although, it’s more difficult for an offense when teams are split in half. However, this has the makings to be a tough Huskie defense when the 2015 season finally rolls around – by the way,

Sept. 5 can’t come fast enough.

They’ll be looking to fill only two spots left by graduation – safety (Dechane Durante) and defensive end (Jason Meehan) – and adding depth with younger players.

“I think the defense as a whole has been strong,” junior outside linebacker Sean Folliard said.

“We didn’t graduate a lot of guys and we’ve been playing really well together. You can insert anybody.

We like to think we have some pretty high expectations at NIU. We have a lot of potential but potential doesn’t

mean anything unless you put in the work.”

During conference play in 2014, the Huskies were third in the Mid-American Conference in scoring defense (23.2 points a game), second in pass defense (220.4 yards a game) and first in defensive pass efficiency (114.7).

During the spring season – at least the portions I saw – the Huskies offense had a handful of solid plays but never really broke off a game-changer against the strong defense.

“It’s so hard to tell grand scope,” Carey said about learning things about his team during the spring. “I think we had some guys in the back end on defense play really, really well. I think we’re going to be pretty good back there but you can’t tell because you’re going against each other.”

See SEVERSON, page B3

Turner makes most of his Huskie Bowl opportunity DeKALB – TommyLee Lewis didn’t compete, still nursing an injury. Juwan Brescacin was on crutches.

With two of the top receivers for the Northern Illinois football team still on the sidelines for Huskie Bowl III, Aregeros Turner did what intrasquad scrimmages are supposed to be about, making the most of his time and making himself stand out to the coaching staff.

Playing for Team Black, which won, 21-0, against Team Cardinal, the junior receiver made seven catches for 61 yards and ran four times for 26 yards.

See BLACKHAWKS, page B2

First-round schedule

VIEWS Eddie Carifio “I was just trying to make a play every time I could, not have too many missed assignments,” Turner said. “It was hard having so many receivers out because depth at receiver is important in college football, but I’m glad I came out and the black team won the game.”

See CARIFIO, page B3

CHICAGO – As far as Marian Hossa is concerned, the Blackhawks can capture another Stanley Cup. He envisions them putting aside their recent slump and making another big playoff run, starting with their first-round matchup against the Nashville Predators.

“No doubt about it,” Hossa said.

“We have a good group of guys. Every round is going to be different.

We have to focus on the first one.

The first ones are rarely easy. Every team has added energy.”

Game 1 is Wednesday at Nashville, and both teams come in looking to put aside recent skids.

The Predators, third in the Western Conference with 104 points, were 0-4-2 in their last six games of the regular season.

“They are a very good team,” Hossa said after Saturday’s 3-2 loss at Colorado. “They played very consistently the whole season.

They have great balance. Play well defensively. They will provide a good challenge for us.”

The Hawks (102 points) ended an up-and-down regular season on a four-game losing streak, but they are in the playoffs for the seventh straight year, eyeing another deep run.

They won the Stanley Cup in 2010 and 2013 and reached the conference finals last year. And if they get Patrick Kane back, it would obviously be a huge boost.

The dynamic forward was leading the Hawks with 27 goals and 37 assists when he lost his balance and crashed into the boards after being cross-checked by Florida defenseman Alex Petrovic on Feb. 24.

THE MASTERS

Spieth wins from wire-to-wire

By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press AUGUSTA, Ga. – Jordan Spieth got more than redemption and a green jacket Sunday.

He took his place among the best in the game with a Masters victory for the ages.

One year after Spieth lost a bid to become the youngest Masters champion, the 21-year-old Texan turned in one of the most dominant wins ever at Augusta National. He never let anyone get closer to him than three shots after his record start. He never gave anyone much hope on Sunday.

Spieth closed with a 2-under-par 70, missAP photo ing a 5-foot par putt on the final hole that Jordan Spieth wears his green jacket after winning the Masters on Sunday in Augus- would have set yet another record. Instead, he tied the score set by Tiger Woods in 1997 ta, Ga. Spieth finished with an 18-under-par 270 over the course of four days.

at 18-under 270.

“This was the ultimate goal in my golf life,” Spieth said.

For all the talk about the Grand Slam bid

by Rory McIlroy and the return of Woods, this week was about the arrival of another star.

“It’s awfully impressive,” McIlroy said after finishing fourth. “It’s nice to get your major tally up and running at an early stage in your career. It’s great to see, great for the game, and I’m sure there will be many more.”

Spieth became the first wire-to-wire winner at the Masters since Raymond Floyd in 1976, and this might have been even more special.

SPORTS BRIEFS Fowler’s homer gives Cubs win over Rockies DENVER – Dexter Fowler hit a two-run homer off LaTroy Hawkins with two outs in the ninth inning, helping the Cubs rally for a 6-5 win over the Colorado Rockies on a blustery Sunday.

Hawkins (1-1) hung a slider to Fowler, who drove it into the right-field seats. It was the first homer of the season for the former Rockies player.

Neil Ramirez (1-0) earned the win by getting two outs in the eighth. Hector Rondon got his second save of the season as the Cubs won for the second time in the threegame series.

Sale helps the White Sox beat the Twins CHICAGO – The first pitch was a 96 mph fastball for a called strike. The last one was a 98 mph heater that went for a swinging strike three.

Yup, Chris Sale is healthy again. The lanky left-hander pitched six solid innings in his return from a foot injury, and the White Sox beat the Minnesota Twins, 6-2, Sunday.

Bulls guard Derrick Rose (right) passes the ball as 76ers guard JaKarr Sampson defends during the first half Saturday at the United Center.

BULLS

Rose ready for productive run

By HERB GOULD Sun-Times Media CHICAGO – It’s so enticing.

The last five minutes of the Bulls’ 114-107 win over Philadelphia on Saturday was vintage Derrick Rose.

He hurtled himself to the basket for physical layups. He spotted a wide-open Taj Gibson for a rim-rattling dunk. He picked a 76er pocket.

And he did it all at crunch time, when the Bulls needed it most.

Yes, it was only the lowly 76ers. And yes, it was more of a brief burst after a largely workman-like game.

But the truth is, the Bulls don’t necessarily need a reincarnation of their 2011 NBA MVP. They just need Rose to be there when it matters most.

These Bulls need Rose, but they don’t need to be as dependent on him as they were on the pre-surgery Rose. Jimmy Butler has become an All-Star.

Pau Gasol is a veteran offensive force. Nicola Mirotic and Tony

Snell are becoming important contributors. The list goes on and on.

In an Eastern Conference where there are good teams but no bonafide juggernauts, bursts from Rose could take the Bulls a long way.

“Derrick is a superstar,” 76ers guard Jason Richardson said after Rose dominated the final five minutes. “That’s what superstars do.”

And meanwhile, it’s probably not necessary to set limits for Rose. His quieter approach speaks more to maturity and patience than overcoming three knee surgeries.

“When you miss three years, damn near, you see everything,” Rose said. “I’m just being a little more patient. There’s no point in me forcing anything by the way they’re playing me.

They’re not double-teaming me.

They’re letting me do whatever I want to do.”

And while the focus will be on Rose’s offense – his athletic drives, his jumpshots – coach Tom Thibodeau liked Rose’s de-

termination on defense and his decision-making as well as his scoring.

“He made a couple great hustle plays with the game on the line,” Thibodeau said. “You can tell he feels good. That’s the most important thing. I think he’s got a good blend going – drives to the basket, the mid-range game. The 3s he took were the right ones. I like the rhythm he had.”

Rhythm is an often-used word among the Bulls as they try to reincorporate the oft-injured Rose into their world.

“It’s all about me catching rhythm,” Rose said. “It’s just wanting it, just trying to push myself, just getting in the rhythm of attacking and getting used to having the ball in my hands in certain situations.”

Until he shows he can do it, the question will be whether Rose can be in mid-season form for the upcoming post-season after missing so much time.

It is not a question in Rose’s mind.

“This time around, I think

I’ve got a little more conditioning,” he said. “I think I’m ready. This is not [as serious a surgery]. I didn’t have a brace.

I walked out of the hospital.

All these things are pluses for me. I think I’m going to be in a good position when the playoffs come.”

Another key is that, after an injury-limited regular season, the Bulls are champing at the bit to make the most of the postseason.

“Everybody knows how serious this is,” Rose said moments after the Sixers game, “We have people in the weight room doing the post-game lift. That’s what you need. I just got done. That’s why I’m still sweating a bit.”

Rose, who mentioned earlier this season that the best is yet to come, stands by that vision.

“That’s my goal,” he said.

“Every time I step on the floor, I try to give my best. I’m trying to figure things out.”

It can change quickly, Rose and Bulls fans know. But on the eve of the playoffs, there’s reason for optimism.

Hawks have scored only five goals in past five games • BLACKHAWKS Continued from page B1 Kane had surgery the next day, with team physician Dr. Michael Terry saying a full recovery would take about 12 weeks. But he has been skating and working on one-timers and slap shots the past few weeks.

Whether he comes back or not, the Hawks have some work to do before they take to the ice against the Predators.

They’ve struggled on the power play, going 0 for 11 the past six games. That’s a trend they need to reverse, with or without Kane.

So is this: The Hawks scored only five goals over the final four regular-season games.

“It’s not going to be easy playing against Nashville,” Niklas Hjalmarsson said. “We’ll have to find a way to get people in front of the net and get more

The Blackhawks’ Michael Paliotta (47) collides with goalie Scott Darling (33) while trying to block a shot by Colorado during the third period Saturday in Denver. Colorado beat the Hawks, 3-2. shots and enough rebounds.”

The Hawks took three of four from the Predators during the regular season, beating them in overtime and a shootout. The teams have not met since Dec.

29, when the Hawks won in a shootout.

One of the biggest challenges facing the Hawks in this series will be the man in goal for Nashville, the 6-foot-5 Pekka Rinne.

He was a big reason why the Predators led the Central Division for much of the season before fading and ranked among the league leaders in wins (41), save percentage (.923) and goalsagainst average (2.18).

He sat out Saturday’s 4-1 loss at Dallas, as did forward Mike Fisher and defensemen Shea Weber and Roman Josi and Cody Franson.

“They had a great start to the season,” Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said. “They’ve got a tremendous back end, strong in net, they have some assets up front. So certainly they’re dangerous in a lot of ways.”

Notes: The Hawks recalled goalie Antti Raanta and defenseman Kyle Cumiskey from the American Hockey League on Sunday. Raanta is 7-4-1 with a .936 save percentage in 14 games for the Hawks this season. Cumiskey has played in seven games with the Hawks.

Spieth, 21, wins only his third PGA tour event • MASTERS Continued from page B1 Craig Woods in 1941 is the only other Masters champion who led by at least three shots from the opening round to the trophy presentation.

Phil Mickelson tried to make a run. So did Justin Rose. Neither got closer than three shots at any point, and it wasn’t long before Spieth was making another birdie putt to take the drama out of the back nine.

Mickelson (69) and Rose (70) tied for second. It was the 10th time Mickelson has been runner-up in a major. Woods jarred his right wrist then he struck wood under the pine straw on the ninth hole. He recovered and closed with a 73, 13 shots behind.

Spieth won for the third time on the PGA Tour and fifth time worldwide. He will rise to No. 2 in the world rankings, still

a ways to go to catch McIlroy at the top. When McIlroy won back-to-back majors last year to establish himself as the game’s best player, the quest was to find a rival.

Spieth provided the answer on perhaps the biggest stage in the sport with his record-setting week at Augusta.

“I thought today might be easier having played with the lead on Saturday. It wasn’t,” Spieth said. “It’s the most incredible week of my life. This is as great as it gets in our sport. ...

I’m still kind of shocked a little bit.”

And he will keep the editors of the Masters record book busy. Among the marks he established this week: n The 36-hole record at 14-under 130. n The 54-hole record at 16-under 200. n The most birdies for the tournament at 28. n The lowest opening round by a champion at 64.

n The youngest player to lead after the opening round.

“He has no weaknesses,” Mickelson said. “He doesn’t overpower the golf course, but he plays the course strategically well. He plays all the shots properly. And he has that ability to focus and see things clear when the pressure is on and perform at his best when the pressure is on.

“That’s something that you really can’t teach,” he said.

“Some players are able to do it, some players aren’t. And he is.”

Spieth showed early he was up to challenge. Rose, starting the final round four shots behind, rolled in a 10-foot birdie putt on the first hole, and Spieth calmly made his birdie putt from just inside him. Spieth went out in 35 to build his lead to five shots, and one putt later, the Masters effectively was over.

Spieth rolled in a 20-foot birdie putt on No. 10 for a sixshot lead. It was his 26th bird-

ie of the Masters, breaking the tournament record that Mickelson set in 2001. Spieth managed this in only 64 holes. The next target was the 72-hole scoring record that Woods set in 1997, and he almost got there except for that bogey at the end.

He twice went for the green on par 5s on the back nine, barely clearing the creek at No. 13 and going just over the back on No. 15, both times making birdie. The birdie on the 15th made him the only player in Masters history to reach 19-under par.

McIlroy had a 68-66 weekend, hurt by his slow start and put him 12 shots going into the weekend. He will have to wait until next year to try to win the Masters and become the sixth player to complete the career Grand Slam.

The way Spieth is playing, that task just got a little harder. In his last four starts, Spieth has won twice and finished second twice.

PREP ROUNDUP

DeKalb baseball sweeps Belvidere on Saturday

By DAILY CHRONICLE sports@daily-chronicle.com The DeKalb baseball team swept Belvidere North in a nonconference doubleheader Saturday, winning, 15-7, in Game 1 and 15-8 in Game 2 to pick up its second and third wins in two days.

The Barbs (12-3) exploded on offense in the opener, with six players recording at least two hits to make a winner of A.J. Hop, who went six innings. Jake Kuykendall hit a home run and led the way with three hits.

In the nightcap, Tyler Morris picked up the win, and Logan Haring got the save. Dylan Farrell went 4 for 5, Kuykendall added three hits, and Willis Brei and Nick Nunez had two each for the Barbs.

“All in all offensively, we did a nice job,” coach Justin Keck said. “We pitched well enough, and we did well enough on defense.”

G-K loses slugfest to Mendota: The Genoa-Kingston baseball team built a nine-run lead after four innings but couldn’t hold on in a 12-10 loss to Mendota in the second game of a doubleheader after winning 8-2 in the Big Northern Conference crossover.

The Cogs (3-4-1) led, 10-1, after four innings in Game 2 but couldn’t hold on. Matt Cieslica, Tommy Hansen and Brady Huffman each had three hits, while Tyler Smith was 2 for 3 with three RBIs. “We had a couple of guys who generally don’t make

Huskies not a finished product • SEVERSON Continued from page B1 “I feel like by the end of spring, we found our identity as a team,” senior defensive end Perez Ford said, before cracking a smile. “We’re a defensive team.”

There is reason for optimism on the offensive side, as well. Quarterback Drew Hare is now the clear-cut starter after an efficient sophomore season in which he threw only two interceptions – as in, the same amount as Heisman Trophy winner Marcus Mariota.

There are a few holes to fill on the offensive side but there are plenty of potential weapons on the outside.

Plus, sometimes the best offense is a strong defense.

However, it’s important to remember this isn’t the finished product for the Huskies – both in the number of practices and the amount of players. Some of their better offensive weapons were either limited – receiver Tommylee Lewis – or missing for nearly the entire spring – receiver Juwan Brescacin and running back Joel Bouagnon.

Also, when fall rolls around, more than a handful of incoming freshmen will report to camp trying to push their way into playing roles.

“It will bolster all over,” Carey said of the influx of freshmen. “We recruited a good class coming in. We’ll see if any of them get into the two-deep or the playing picture. History would tell us that a few of them would.

They always do.”

So what do the Huskies know about themselves after 15 practices in the spring?

According to Carey, less than they’ll know after nearly twice as many practices toward the end of summer.

“We’ll have a depth chart that comes out of this – ‘you’re the starter coming out of spring’ – but we have 29 practices in the fall, so the spots are wide open.”

The DeKalb softball team went 2-1 at Stillman Valley, beating McHenry, 2-1, in eight innings and the hosts, 2-0, sandwiched around a 13-7 loss to Belvidere North.

In the last game against Stillman Valley, Morgan Newport threw a no-hitter, and Jenna Levine drove in both runs for the Barbs (6-6).

In the opener against McHenry, Jenna Levine started the game, but Newport picked up the win when Levine drove home the winning run in the eighth.

Against Belvidere North in the second game, Tori Newport left in a 7-all tie, but the Barbs went on to lose by six.

We kept putting the ball in play, but we were not quite as aggressive as we were in the first four innings and in the first game.”

In the opener, Hansen got his first start of the year on the mound and allowed one earned run in six innings, striking out seven.

He also had a triple in the game. Huffman had three hits, and Griffin McNeal was 2 for 3.

Kaneland falls in extras: Sterling scored four runs in the eighth inning to top Kaneland, 7-3, in Maple Park.

Schultz hit a two-run home run, Brooke English drove in two runs, Taylor Aasen had three hits and drove in two runs and Kayley Aase went 2 for 2 with an RBI. “The kids could have quit, but they didn’t,” coach Jill Carpenter said. “That says a lot about this group right now.”

NIU’s receiving corps should have plenty of options • CARIFIO Continued from page B1 Coach Rod Carey – who was only an observer in the contest as Team Black was helmed

by Joe Tripodi and Kelvin Sigler took the reins on Team Cardinal – said that Turner has been impressive since practices started last month. “ ‘Deucey’ played good, like he has pretty much the whole spring,” Carey said, referring to Turner, who wears No. 22. “He’s a good football player who can really run.”

Last year, Turner ran for 38 yards on 13 carries, but did have two touchdowns on the ground. His 37 catches were second on the team, and he had 398 yards and two scores through the air.

“Every day I try to get better,” Turner said. “I come out and work like I’m third string and work up to the starting spot.”

The offense lacked chemistry at times last year, part of that having to do with a relatively young receiving corps – outside of senior Da’Ron Brown, who has since graduated. Also, Drew Hare didn’t cement himself as the starter at quarterback until

very late in the season.

This time, Hare has already been anointed the starter. After a strong 2013 season, Lewis missed almost all of 2014 but should be back for the full season. Chad Beebe and Brescacin are also set to return and, with Turner and North Dakota junior transfer Kenny Golladay, should provide Hare and the Huskies with a lot of weapons.

Turner said Hare is much more confident this year, and Carey agreed that being named the starter this early has given him a lot of confidence.

Although the offense averaged 31.5 points a game last year, the Huskies couldn’t always get a big play when they needed one. But with what Turner showed on Saturday – and given that in theory he might only be the third best receiver for the team – things are looking up for the Huskie offense.

The flip side of that is, as Carey pointed out, there were only 15 practices this spring. They get almost twice as many in August before they open the season Sept. 5 at home against

UNLV. But given what Turner showed, and what Hare and the other receivers are capable of, there is definitely

cause for optimism, even if it is guarded.

4 ADVICE & PUZZLES • Monday, April 13, 2015 • Section B • Daily Chronicle / Daily-Chronicle.com

Friendly divorce may be best option for wife Dear Abby: I’m 38, married for 16 years and the mother of two small children. I was recently diagnosed with ovarian cancer and had a hysterectomy to remove it.

My husband has cheated more than once in the past, and since my recovery I have realized I never forgave him for it. I kept quiet and pretended I didn’t know. Now I am bitter, angry and hurt.

He goes out and stays out constantly. He does help with the kids, but I know I don’t belong here. I know what I want, and it’s not this life with him anymore.

I know I can leave at any time, but I feel my children deserve to be raised with both parents in the home since neither of us had that when we were growing up. (My father died. His parents divorced when he was a toddler.) His

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips family has been my family since the beginning of our relationship.

I want my children to grow up thinking marriage is forever and growing old with your partner is great. I want them to have what I did not. If we are civilized and “pretend to be in love,” would my children be OK? I’m willing to stay in this marriage until they are old enough and on their own before I walk away.

Will they understand I sacrificed my happiness for them to live with both parents? I want to be in love and happy, but would rather raise my babies with their father than someone else. Your advice is

greatly appreciated. – Willing

In California Dear Willing: OK. First, let’s talk about your diagnosis and the treatment you had. Being diagnosed with a life-threatening illness can cause anyone to rethink how one has been living one’s life. It can cause all sorts of repressed emotions to boil to the surface, causing anger, bitterness and hurt. Before making any life-changing decisions, please talk with your doctor, a marriage counselor and your husband about those feelings.

If you think staying in an unhappy marriage with a man who goes out and stays out constantly while pretending to be in love would be healthy for your children, I’d be less than honest if I didn’t warn you that you would be doing them a disservice.

Even if you could pull it off and the kids didn’t sense the tension between you and your husband, how do you think they’ll feel when they are older and realize they were led to believe a happy marriage was a lie?

Because you feel so strongly about raising them with your husband, my advice is to make every effort to clear the air and work out your marital problems with him.

That said: It takes two to tango. If he is unwilling to cooperate, all of you might be happier if you separated and agreed to an amicable divorce and shared custody. I’m not saying it would be easy, but it can be done if both parties are willing.

Dear Abby: I recently received an invitation to a small wedding that specified the attire to be “dressy casu-

al.” I’m thinking of wearing a pair of nice black slacks, a white sweater and a black leather jacket.

Is it appropriate to wear black at a wedding ceremony? And who is the dress code guru who decides these matters? – Dan On The West

Coast Dear Dan: My “dress code guru” for weddings is Emily Post. According to Emily, “dressy casual attire” for men is a seasonal sport coat or blazer and slacks; a dress shirt, casual button-down shirt, open-collar or polo shirt; optional tie and loafers or loafer-style shoes with socks. The rule about not wearing black was discarded years ago.

Advance directives let you be in charge of your treatment Dear Dr. K: What are a living will and a health care power of attorney?

Dear Reader: A living will and a health care power of attorney are types of advance directives – written, legally binding documents. They allow you to describe what kind of medical care you hope to receive if an accident or illness renders you unable to communicate.

The biggest misunderstanding I’ve seen in my patients is that only the elderly or very ill need advance directives. That’s definitely not the case. In fact, the younger you are, the more you may have at stake. A serious accident or injury could result

ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff in decades of life without decision-making ability.

• A health care power of attorney permits you (the principal) to name a healthcare agent (sometimes called a health-care proxy). Your agent will make medical decisions on your behalf if you are unable to make them yourself.

If you haven’t chosen anyone, a relative or court-appointed guardian who does not know your wishes may be asked to make medical decisions for you. Or a doctor

may want all of your close relatives to agree before following any of their instructions. Conflicts may ensue; decisions may be delayed. I’ve seen this happen many times, and it’s bad for everyone.

• A living will allows you to describe your goals for medical treatment, your religious or spiritual beliefs, and any guidance you wish to give regarding your medical treatment in various scenarios that may arise. This document is often used to determine how aggressive you would like your medical treatments to be as the end of life nears. I suggest that people make out a living will to guide their power of attorney,

if they have appointed one.

For example, your living will should state clearly if you: • Do not want to be given life-sustaining care using equipment such as kidney dialysis machines or machines that breathe for you; • Do not want to be resuscitated (brought back to life) if your breathing or heart stops; • Do not want to be given artificial hydration and nutrition through tubes placed into your stomach; • Do not want to receive food and liquid by mouth; • Do want to donate an organ to be transplanted into another person, if you die.

Advance directives help

you gain a measure of control over your health care.

That’s why my wife and I have them.

Also, as long as you are able to make and communicate decisions, your word overrides anything you’ve written or told others. Only when you’re unconscious or are unable to make your wishes known does any advance directive swing fully into effect. And if you can communicate again, your decisions will again take precedence.

Son has the right to attend school without being bullied Dr. Wallace: I’m a single mother of a 12-year-old boy.

We haven’t seen or heard from his dad since the day he went to Mexico City to “visit” his parents. That was 10 years ago when my son was only 2 years old, so he has never known his father.

It has been very difficult for me to provide for my son alone and I’ve tried hard to also be both a mother and a father to my son. He is a good boy and gets good grades in school. He is small for his age and is the shortest boy in the seventh grade. Being the smallest boy has made him the target for several of

a problem. In fact, she simply brushed it off and told me, “Boys will be boys.”

My son always used to enjoy school, but he hates school now, and told me he wants to quit when he turns 16. I think this is a serious situation, and I don’t want this to happen if I can help it.

If I could, I would move to another school district so my son could get an education in peace. This isn’t possible because of limited finances, so I am thinking about contacting the parents of these boys who are bullies. Please advise me. – Mom, Orange County,

CROSSWORD

Should a defender play high or low?

Josh Hutcherson, a young actor, said, “My personal style has seen so many highs and lows. Probably more lows than highs.”

On most tricks, a defender plays either low or high, and surely more lows than highs.

This week we will look at reasons for doing one or the other.

In today’s deal, how should the defenders play to defeat three no-trump after West has led his fourth-highest heart, and South has taken the trick with his jack?

The auction is straightforward, with North trying unsuccessfully to find a 4-4 spade fit.

South starts with six top tricks: three spades, one heart (given West’s opening lead), one diamond and one club. If the diamond finesse is winning, declarer will gain at least one overtrick. If the finesse is losing, though, South is in danger. But will West know that South’s heart king is now unguarded?

Typically, third hand plays high at trick one, but he should not if his highest card is lower than the nine. Then, third hand should give count, playing high from a doubleton or low from three. Here, East must play his two, resisting the temptation to cover dummy’s five with his seven.

South will win with his jack, play a spade to dummy, and run the diamond queen, but West should know to win with his king and to cash the heart ace to drop South’s king.

If East has three hearts, South started with only two. (East cannot have a singleton heart, because that would leave South with four, a holding he denied with his response to North’s Stayman inquiry.)

West will run his hearts for down one.
