Identity – it’s yours to define People have many more options when it comes to their identity than they once did. I had that thought this week as I watched an interview that NBC’s “Today” show did with Rachel Dolezal. In case you’d forgotten, Dolezal was leading the Spokane, Washington, chapter of the NAACP last year when it was learned that she was white. Or I guess, it was learned that her parents were a white couple from Montana, where she grew up. But Dolezal, who fictionalized her family background to seem more authentic, said she’s not a white person. A year later, she hasn’t changed. She’s black, she said, and that’s how she lives her life. It’s her truth, she said. You know what? I’m probably never going to meet Dolezal, and it makes no difference to me if she lives her truth, whatever it may be. She deserved the backlash she suffered for lying about her background, just as anyone who lies to obtain a position of influence does. But if you’re not hurting anybody, no one should be allowed to say you can’t live your life your way. If a white person decides they’re black, or a

EDITOR’S NOTE Eric Olson black person decides they’re white, or a guy decides she’s a girl, or they don’t have a gender and want to change your name to Pat or (I’m not making this up) Beezow Doo-doo Zopittybop-bop-bop – well, go for it. I think the law of averages suggests that the more people we have here on Spaceship Earth – and we’re now more than 7 billion – the more people are going to be doing unorthodox things. For the most part, I’m going to just enjoy the ride. Now, if you’re dating one of my daughters ... then I’ll probably have a different set of standards. But I’ve got a few years to work through those.

TODAY’S TALKER

The Associated Press

TRENTON, N.J. – A project to speed development of cancer-fighting drugs that harness the immune system has academic and drug industry researchers collaborating and sharing their findings like never before. The newly created Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy is being funded by a $250 million grant from Sean Parker, the co-founder of the file-sharing site Napster and Facebook’s first president. It brings together partners at six top academic cancer centers, dozens of drugmakers and other groups. For decades, fiercely competitive and secretive drugmakers protected their money-making discoveries with patents and lawsuits.

Academic researchers likewise often guarded their work closely until it was published because their promotions, awards and sometimes revenue from licensing patents depended on individual achievement. That often slowed progress. With the increasing cost and complexity of research, drugmakers began licensing or buying patents and research programs from university researchers. Then big drugmakers began collaborating with each other and buying smaller companies, to share research costs, speed up the drug development process and get an edge on rivals. The Parker Institute, founded nine months ago, pushes those trends to a new level, by creating a virtual “sandbox” in which scientists at different institutions can work collaboratively.

SLEEPING OUT FOR HOMELESS VETS NIU Veterans Association highlights plight of returning service members By RHONDA GILLESPIE

rgillespie@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Members of a Northern Illinois University student veterans group planned to sleep under the stars Wednesday to raise awareness about an under-the-radar issue facing some of the nation’s former military service personnel: homelessness. “It’s an issue that most people don’t really think about until you kind of see all the stats in front of you,” said Luke Ortegel, an Army veteran and NIU junior who also is sergeant-at-arms for the NIU Veterans Association. The student organization hosted its second annual awareness campaign and fundraiser event starting at noon Wednesday, with the event scheduled to continue until noon today. Members camped out on the commons outside the Holmes Student Center on the NIU campus as part of the 24-hour event. Some members also held up signs with facts about homelessness among veterans as they solicited monetary donations. The Women’s Auxiliary of DeKalb’s American Legion Post 66 provided baked goods that were sold. Proceeds from the fundraiser are to be donated to the Midwest Shelter for Homeless Veterans, according to the student organization’s leaders. The Wheaton-based shelter provides transitional and affordable housing programs for former service members. Last year, the NIU group donated $2,000 from its fundraising effort, and this year members hope to collect and donate even more. Statistics from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and other veterans advocacy organizations tell the sobering plight of some former military personnel. The VA has several programs and initiatives aimed at addressing homelessness among the nation’s 22.5 million veterans. Still, the federal agency indicates that combating the issue requires collaboration, including efforts such as the one put forth by the NIU students. “No one entity can end homelessness among veterans alone,” the VA states in information it provides about the issue. Veterans Inc., a nonprofit advocacy agency, indicates that on any given night, about 300,000 veterans are either living on the streets or are housed in a shelter. Additionally, the organization states, as many as 840,000 veterans experience homelessness at some point throughout the year.

Ortegel, 26, who served in Afghanistan and now is a public health major, said he didn’t realize the situation was so dire. Army veteran and NIU freshman Katie Bice agreed. This year was her first time participating in the awareness campaign and fundraiser, and she

planned to sleep Wednesday night on the campus lawn in a sleeping bag. Bice, 24, said it was heartbreaking that men and women who served the country abroad return home with no place to live. “When I first looked at the statistics, I, honestly, teared up,” said Bice, who

also is the NIU Veterans Association secretary. “People as young as 17 are joining the military to fight and win our nation’s wars. They go, and they complete their mission ... and then come home, and it’s so hard for them.” Navy veteran Jesus Arteaga, 26, said he hopes people will come to understand that veterans often have issues when they return home from deployment. In addition to buying the baked goods or making other donations to the student veterans association effort, Arteaga said he wants people to write their legislators and press the federal government to do more for the men and women who have served in the military. “I hope people keep in the back of their heads what veterans go through when they get out,” said Arteaga, the vice president of the student organization, “and realize that there’s a struggle out there that veterans are going through.”

Sycamore residents review Action 20/20 plans By KATIE SMITH

ksmith@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – The Sycamore Park District has raised about $375,000 toward its new recreation center, which could go out for bids this fall. Board members Wednesday presented renderings of the district’s $13 million improvement plans, which include the addition of a sledding hill, biking trails, a soccer complex and a new irrigation system for the Sycamore Golf Club to be completed by 2020. Volunteer committees working on plans for the new community center have met over the past 10 months to research the design of the new recreation campus outlined in the district’s Action 20/20 plan. We’re very excited,” Park Board Commissioner Daryl Graves said. “We want to see a shovel in the ground, and then it would become reality.” Voters approved a property tax referendum in Novemberr 2014 that will allow the taxing body to issue about $9 million in bonds for the project, and workers could begin construction as early as 2017. Plans to send the project out to bid could be delayed, however, since board members are hopeful of receiving extra state grant money, the funds for which currently are frozen, Sycamore Park District Executive Director Dan Gibble said. “If we get that grant, some of the cuts we had to make in the community center may not have to be made,” Gibble said. As Sycamore residents reviewed the proposed designs at Wednesday’s public hearing, people overall were enthusiastic with the district’s progress. “I really like what they’ve done,” Sycamore School Board member Kristen Wrenn said. “I’m excited, and I want it to happen. I know that they’re still trying to fund raise money, so that makes me a little anxious, but I think it looks really neat.” Special committees have been assigned to help raise money for each of the Action 20/20 projects. In addition to the $3 million of potential grant money the district could receive for the project, an anonymous donor has pledged up to $300,000 to match 50 percent of all donations. Sycamore resident Don Jones, whose home is less than a mile from the new campus site, has lived in Sycamore for 61 years and has no immediate concerns about the project. “It looks good on paper,” Jones said. “I’d like to see what it looks like when

Right now, it looks quite nice.” In December, architectural manager Caius Jennison of Farnsworth Group presented sketches of possible site and floor plans for the projects.

Once the schematic plans are approved by the district’s board of commissioners, the project will move into the design phase, and commissioners will put the project out to bid for contractors.

Visit Daily-Chronicle.com for a video. If the finished product is anything like the proposed designs lifetime resident Angie Fabris saw Wednesday, the new campus could benefit the community in the long-run, she said. “It’s what brings people in, and it’s what keeps people here,” she said.

Kishwaukee College will increase day care center fees By RHONDA GILLESPIE

rgillespie@shawmedia.com MALTA – The cost for child care at Kishwaukee College’s day care center will go up this summer, after trustees approved a small fee increase at their monthly meeting Tuesday. Sedgwick Harris, vice president of student services, explained to the college’s board of trustees that even with the college’s early childhood center charging $1 more a day, its rates would still be below those at other area day care centers.

Currently, the college’s child care center charges $40 a day for children ages 2 to 5 to attend there all day, five days each week. That fee will increase to $41 for the college’s fiscal 2017, which starts July 1. Additionally, the hourly rate for children who attend fewer than five hours a day would go from $8 to $8.20. The center, which has national accreditation and positive ratings from the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services, serves the college’s students and faculty, as well as members of the surrounding community.

Firefighters race from Malta fire to house fire in DeKalb DAILY CHRONICLE

news@daily-chronicle.com DeKALB – A house fire Wednesday temporarily displaced a DeKalb family, officials said. Shortly after authorities controlled a structure fire Wednesday in Malta, they were called to a DeKalb home that suffered significant damage to the first floor. The family must relocate until repairs are made, DeKalb Deputy Fire Chief Jeff McMaster said. Firefighters were called about 3:55 p.m. to a house at 115 Elm St. on the city’s west side. The fire, which likely started in the home’s kitchen, remains under investigation, DeKalb Fire Battalion Chief Bart Gilmore said. Firefighters from the Cortland and Sycamore fire departments assisted DeKalb in controlling the fire. Ambulances were called for a vehicle crash at the intersection of Elm Street and Lincoln Highway, just across the road from the fire while firefighters were on the scene. No one was injured.

MALTA – Firefighters from four area departments were called to a self-storage business Wednesday, when flames were seen shooting out of the building’s roof. The fire was reported about 2:30 p.m. Wednesday at Red Dot Storage, 250 W. Lincoln Highway, Malta, near Kishwaukee College. The cause of the fire is under investigation, but is believed to have damaged only the business’s office building, which is detached from individual storage units, Malta Assistant Fire Chief Roger Elliott said. No one was in the building when officials arrived, and the fire was controlled in less than an hour. A passer-by called in the fire after seeing dark smoke coming from the building. The flames caused both inside and outside damage, and left parts of the roof caved once the blaze was extinguished. Firefighters from DeKalb, Ogle-Lee, and Rochelle fire departments were called to assist.

Judge suggests he’ll factor in Hastert lies for sentencing By MICHAEL TARM

only adult on the trip, touched him inappropriately after suggesting he would massage a groin injury the boy had, prosecutors said. Defense attorneys called details of Individual A’s account of Hastert’s behavior “ambiguous.” “We are not so certain that the incident qualifies as sexual misconduct, especially for a coach and trainer 42 years ago,” they said in the filing, unsealed Wednesday. Prosecutors said there is no doubt.

Hastert “used his position of trust as a teacher and coach to touch a child’s genitals and then undress and ask the child for a back massage in a hotel room,” they said in a Friday filing. “There is no ambiguity; defendant sexually abused Individual A.” Judge Thomas M. Durkin indicated several times Wednesday that he was disturbed by Hastert’s claims to agents in 2015 that Individual A was extorting him. Hastert was accusing someone he victimized of “holding him

up,” Durkin said. Those lies, unlike the abuse allegations, were not distant history, the judge said. “That’s not conduct that’s 40 years old,” Durkin said. “That conduct is ... a year old.” About how Hastert’s false allegations against Individual A might affect his sentencing calculations, the judge added: “Among the aggravating factors in this case, that’s a big one.” Among other assertions in the 14page defense filing: • Individual A still could sue Hastert if he’s not paid the portion of the $3.5 million he hasn’t received – $1.8 million, plus interest. • The probation office was wrong to speculate in a sealed report that Hastert could have abused others after getting into politics. “Similarly, there is no basis for the conjecture that Mr. Hastert engaged in any sexual misconduct overseas,” it says. • When FBI agents first came to speak to Hastert unannounced in December 2014, they wore wires to secretly record his answers. Prosecutors say agents initially had no inkling sexual abuse was behind the payments Hastert made to Individual A. When Hastert said Individual A was extorting him, agents even helped stage and record phone conversations with the former wrestler. It all backfired on Hastert, whose political career had taken him to speaker, second in the line of presidential succession.

The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Dennis Hastert’s lawyers have suggested that what occurred with a 14-year-old in a motel decades ago might not qualify as sexual abuse, while the judge in the former U.S. House speaker’s hush-money case signaled Wednesday that he’ll factor in Hastert’s lies to investigators when he determines a sentence. Federal prosecutors said at a hearing Wednesday in Chicago that someone identified as “Individual D” – one of at least four boys who prosecutors say Hastert sexually abused in the 1970s – would be one of two witnesses seeking to speak at the April 27 sentencing. The other is a sister of a now-deceased accuser. The 14-year-old, referred to as “Individual A” in court papers, is at the core of the case. Hastert pleaded guilty last fall to breaking banking laws as he sought to pay $3.5 million to the man not to divulge his misconduct when he taught and coached wrestling from 1965 to 1981 in Yorkville, a Chicago suburb. After first saying he withdrew large sums because he didn’t trust banks, Hastert told investigators he was the target of a bogus sexual abuse claim. Individual A told prosecutors Hastert abused him in the late 1970s in a motel room on the way home from wrestling camp. He said Hastert, the

Bill to abolish lieutenant governor office advances

SPRINGFIELD – A measure to eliminate the office of lieutenant governor in Illinois has gotten initial approval in the state House. The bill from Republican state Rep. David McSweeney would not apply to the state’s current lieutenant governor, Evelyn Sanguinetti. The House State Government Administration Committee unanimously approved the bill Wednesday, 12-0. McSweeney said the office has limited responsibilities and eliminating the position would save the state about $1.6 million annually. The change would be a constitutional amendment so voters would ultimately decide whether to eliminate the office starting in 2019, the end

House OKs suspending late vehicle plate fines

SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois House has passed a measure to suspend fines for drivers who are late renewing their vehicle license plates until the state can continue mailing reminders. The bill advanced out of the Illinois House unanimously Tuesday and now goes to the Illinois Senate for consideration. The secretary of state stopped mailing renewal reminders to save money while Illinois operates without a budget. The state has collected more than $5 million in fines since the beginning of the year. That’s more than double than the amount collected during the first three months of 2015.

NATION BRIEFS Obama claims progress on ISIS amid worries

LANGLEY, Va. – President Barack Obama claimed progress Wednesday in the U.S.-led fight against the Islamic State group, even as political turmoil in Iraq and renewed violence in Syria threatened to jeopardize hardfought gains. During a rare presidential visit to CIA headquarters, Obama said it had been “a bad few months” for the Islamic State and gave a detailed account of areas where U.S.-backed forces have wrested territory back from the extremist group. Although he acknowledged the fight remains difficult and complex, he said IS was on the defensive and that the U.S. intends to “keep that momentum.” “Every day, ISIL leaders wake up and understand that it could be their last,” Obama said, using an acronym for the extremist group.

Outside groups join in on growing GOP delegate game By JULIE BYKOWICZ The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – After burning through millions of dollars in a mostly failed attempt to sway Republican primary voters, big-money outside groups opposing Donald Trump have turned to a far smaller target audience: the delegates who will actually choose the presidential nominee. Our Principles, which is devoted to keeping Trump from winning, and super PACs backing Ted Cruz and John Kasich are spending their time and money researching the complex process of delegate selection and reaching out to those party insiders. Compared to earlier primary states such as Florida, there have been few ads by outside groups on the air in New York, which holds its election Tuesday. Delegates are the people – typically longtime Republicans and state party activists – who will have their say at the GOP convention this summer in Cleveland if Trump does not lock up the nomination first in the remaining voting contests. The hot pursuit of such low-profile people by outside groups is yet another unprecedented twist in a history-defying presidential primary season. The delegate focus comes after the groups’ earlier efforts turned out to be money not particularly well spent. GOP-aligned groups spent at least $218 million on presidential television and radio ads, according to advertising tracker Kantar Media’s CMAG. In one example, last

month Our Principles put $2.3 million into ads trying to persuade Florida voters to ditch Trump, but he won the state anyway. “At this stage, the delegate fight is the most important part of the race,” said Tim Miller, a spokesman for Our Principles. “The work we’re doing on it is how we get the biggest bang for our buck.” Our Principles isn’t airing commercials at all in New York. On Wednesday, super PACs helping Cruz and Kasich bought $700,000 in paid media there to run through Election Day, CMAG shows. On the delegate front, the Trump, Cruz and Kasich campaigns all pay specialists to advise them. Yet the outside groups can’t resist crafting a role for themselves. By law, candidates cannot direct their helpful super PACs on how to spend money on paid communications. However, candidates and the outside groups keep a close eye on what the others are doing. At a donor event last weekend at the Venetian casino resort in Las Vegas, pro-Cruz super PAC officials explained to a rapt audience how they are diving into data about Republican delegates. That super PAC event took place on the same floor as a Cruz campaign finance event, which delved into similar material. Douglas Heye, a former communications director for the Republican National Convention, said the organizational nature of a potential delegate fight plays into Cruz’s strengths. The Texas senator has cultivated relationships with conservative leaders across the country. Now they’re helping him woo delegates.

Change overdue to federal pot policy Under the federal Controlled Substances Act, marijuana is classified as a Schedule 1 drug, which means it has no medicinal value and is highly addictive. But the Drug Enforcement Administration is, once again, considering moving it to a less restrictive category that better reflects both its danger and the undeniable facts on the ground – that nearly half the states in the nation allow the use of cannabis for medical purposes, and several allow it to be used recreationally. The DEA told lawmakers that it intends to make a decision by July. The Schedule 1 designation for marijuana has been a ludicrously restrictive classification since it was imposed in 1970, lumping cannabis in with heroin and LSD. The DEA has twice considered and rejected requests to reclassify the drug over the last two decades. The last time was in 2011. Frankly, a change is long overdue. The DEA’s reluctance in the past to reclassify the drug has hindered research that could shed light on the uses (or dangers) of marijuana as a medicine, and could help guide smarter marijuana policies in general. Because it is a Schedule 1 drug, researchers interested in studying its health effects have faced bureaucratic hurdles and strict controls, including limited legal access to the drug. Last year, just eight researchers received marijuana for medical study from the one government-sanctioned cannabis farm in the country. So, the federal government has effectively suppressed research on marijuana, and then authorities argue there are not enough long-term studies of the medicinal value and health risks of marijuana use to justify reclassifying it. The lack of research hasn’t stopped 23 states from allowing the use of the drug for pain relief and other medical purposes. But it has denied doctors and patients important information about the risks or benefits. Nor has the Schedule 1 classification stopped voters in four states from legalizing marijuana for adult use. Yet the DEA still treats marijuana as if it’s as addictive as heroin and more dangerous than cocaine and methamphetamine, which are listed as Schedule 2 drugs. It’s heartening that the federal government is reconsidering this misguided policy. The easiest, most sensible move would be for the DEA to reclassify marijuana so that it’s treated as a prescription drug, complete with Food and Drug Administration oversight. The harder, but inevitable question as more states consider legalizing recreational use is whether federal authorities and lawmakers should remove cannabis from the Controlled Substances Act altogether so states can choose whether to regulate marijuana for adult consumption without running afoul of federal law.

ANOTHER VIEW

State’s superdelegates should respect the will of Democratic primary voters There should be no “superdelegates” in a party that describes itself as “Democratic.” The process of nominating a candidate for the presidency should not be left vulnerable to the whims of national convention delegates who are not chosen by the great mass of primary and caucus voters, and who could actually deliver the nomination of the party of Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy and Obama to a candidate who lost the race for pledged delegates. Unfortunately, the Democratic Party does allow for the warping of its nominating process by unelected and unaccountable superdelegates. And that should be a serious concern for Wisconsin Democrats. On April 5, in Wisconsin’s open primary, more than 1 million voters cast Democratic ballots. They were overwhelmingly supportive of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who earned 57 percent of the vote to 43 percent for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Sanders won 71 of 72 counties, sweeping college towns and factory towns, suburbs and the state’s most rural regions. In Menominee County, where Native Americans make up the vast majority of the population, Sanders beat Clinton 63 percent to 36 percent. In Dane County, where the votes of college students are a huge factor, Sanders prevailed with 63 percent. In the countryside of Vernon County, Sanders took 64 percent. Even in Milwaukee County, where Clinton had been expected to have her strongest showing, Sanders won more than 48 percent of the vote. It was a resounding victory for the insurgent candidate who spoke of his reverence for the Wisconsin progressive tradition of Robert M. La Follette and who promised that “a Sanders administration ... would be pretty much the exact opposite of a Scott Walker administration.” Wisconsin sent a message about its desires regarding the direction of the Democratic Party and the nation. And we hope that message will be delivered at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.

But for that to happen, Wisconsin’s superdelegates must represent Wisconsin – not their own whims or the dictates of party leaders in Washington. Wisconsin will send 96 delegates to Philadelphia. Based on the will of the voters in the primary, 48 of them will be pledged to Sanders and 38 to Clinton. But 10 delegates from Wisconsin will go to the convention as unpledged delegates who can vote as they choose. These so-called “superdelegates” are elected officials and party leaders who could, if they were to unite behind Clinton, effectively blunt the results of the Wisconsin primary – taking a state that voted 5743 for one candidate and making its convention vote an even split. That sort of anti-democratic approach might be acceptable in some states, but it is entirely unacceptable for Wisconsin, the state that created and has historically defended the open primary. What to do? We like the approach of Congressman Collin Peterson, D-Minn. Peterson is one of the most conservative Democrats in Congress. A founder of the so-called “Blue Dog Caucus,” which frequently veers to the right of party leaders, he’s closer to Clinton than to Sanders on a number of issues. But when the Democrats in his western Minnesota district caucused, they gave Sanders 63 percent of their votes while Clinton won 37 percent. As a Democratic member of the House, Peterson is automatically a superdelegate. He could cast his vote for Clinton or Sanders. But he announced after the caucuses: “I’m voting my district. I’m going to vote for Bernie.” Indeed, although Peterson does not always attend national conventions, he said, “If my vote makes a difference, I’ll probably go” and cast it for Sanders. Why? “He’s got something going,” Peterson said of the democratic socialist senator from Vermont who has proven to be very popular in the upper Midwest. “He’s tapped into something.”

Sadly, we’ve got repressive regimes such as Russia, China, Saudi Arabia and Iran beat when it comes to locking up our own citizens. Worse yet, under a trio of Illinois Republican governors – James R. Thompson, Jim Edgar and George Ryan – prisons were billed as economic development. Under those three, the state radically expanded its prison system. Then, down on their luck downstate communities such as Galesburg,

Hillsboro, Mt. Sterling, Dixon and East Moline became home to prisons under those administrations. Those communities deserve better, and so do those locked behind their gates. We like to think justice is blind, but it more often favors those who can afford private attorneys and whose backgrounds prosecutors and judges can more readily identify. A drug-related arrest can land a poor person in prison. But for a middle class individual, deferred sentences and drug rehabilitation are more often the reality. It’s time we look at alternate sentencing for most nonviolent offenders, and we should declare the War on Drugs a failure. I say this to you as a 51-year-old man who has never tasted alcohol or used an illegal drug. I’m not a libertine seeking to indulge more. I’m a realist who sees that the approach we have been taking just isn’t working. Rarely has a person left prison better than when he or she went in. But for decades, Illinois has spent money on cellblocks, prison guards and watchtowers but largely failed to transform the lives of those it locked up. We need to embrace alternatives to incarceration such as drug rehabilita-

tion, community service, restitution to the victims of crime and home confinement. And for those leaving prison, we need to smooth the way for them to re-enter society. My former Illinois Policy Institute colleague Bryant Jackson-Green told me that in Illinois there are at least 118 professions for which government either must or may deny a license to anyone with a felony record. For example, anyone who aspires to be a barber, boxer, cosmetologist, funeral home director, accountant or roofer can be turned away by the government long after he or she has served time and paid his or her debt to society. That’s shameful. How many lives like Merle Haggard’s go unredeemed by a state unwilling to forgive? Illinois has turned its back on those struggling to find a place back in society for far too long. It’s time we offer opportunities, not scorn.

Obamacare is smaller than anyone expected My recent column on the sixth anniversary of President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, generated some energetic criticism – or, rather, half a paragraph of it did. While I acknowledged that many Americans have benefited from the law, I also said that the Obama administration was too eager to give it credit for slowing the growth of healthcare spending. This slowdown, I pointed out, had begun in 2002, years before Obamacare was enacted. (I could have added that the decline was not confined to the U.S.) Jonathan Chait, a journalist for New York Magazine who strongly supports Obamacare, said my skepticism about the law’s effect on health spending amounts to a refusal to face reality, or even to an attempt to craft a message that will appeal to “crazy” Republican voters. He argued we should look at a longer timeline. The early 2000s saw “unusually elevated levels of healthcare inflation.” They gave way first to “historically normal healthcare inflation rates that were still unsustainably high” and then

VIEWS Ramesh Ponnuru to much lower post-Obamacare rates. So the law, he contends, made a difference. Widening the lens, however, does not make Obamacare look any more effective in restraining costs. A White House report on the law’s sixth anniversary shows a long although jagged decline in healthcare inflation rates, with a peak in the early 1980s, a lower peak in the early 1990s, and a much lower peak about a decade ago. Obamacare looks like a nonevent in that slide (even though the White House puts verbiage beneath the graph that gives itself credit). The administration has in the past touted per-capita health spending as another measure that backs its view of the Obamacare effect. Again, however, its own graph showed no such effect. Chris Conover, writing in Forbes, looked at several decades of data on healthcare spending as a share of

GDP; he didn’t find any evidence that Obamacare has bent the cost curve downward, either. And a recent study found that the great bulk of the postObamacare decline in health inflation can be explained by trends that predated the law’s passage. The most recent data we have show that health spending in 2014 grew at the fastest rate since 2007. That might be expected in a year when many of the law’s subsidies started flowing. But the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services project that the annual rate of growth of national health spending will keep rising over the next five years and then level off a bit – at a rate higher than we saw in 2008 or 2009. In part, this is because “medical inflation rates are anticipated to return to levels closer to the decade prior to the recession.” All in all, the evidence that Obamacare has reduced health inflation does not look especially strong. What the law’s supporters can fairly say in its favor is that health inflation did not rise, either, as many of the law’s critics predicted. Chait pointed to a 2011 article I co-wrote saying that the law “exacer-

bated” the causes of health inflation. This is different, of course, from saying that health inflation would jump in the first years after the law was enacted and carried out. But it’s true there has been less health inflation than I expected. If Obamacare has done less than I expected to raise costs, perhaps it is because it has done less than expected, period. When it passed, the Congressional Budget Office predicted that by the end of 2015 an additional 28 million people would be getting coverage either through the law’s health exchanges or through its expanded Medicaid program. As I noted in the column that drew Chait’s ire, the actual number has been about 19 million. Obamacare has turned out to be a smaller program than anyone thought it would be. The law has its die-hard supporters. But most Americans don’t see it in nearly as rosy a light, and they’re not crazy.

SPRINGFIELD – We all have things in our past that we are not proud of, and for Merle Haggard, it was a felony conviction for armed robbery. For decades, I’ve loved Haggard’s music. It was the music of the common person. Many of his songs were autobiographical about a man trying to overcome his mistakes. Haggard, of course, died last week. And like many of his fans, I’ve found myself pondering the meaning of the man’s message. He had a rough time when he was released from San Quentin prison. He started out digging ditches for his brother, an electrical contractor. Like many people leaving the joint, only his family was willing to take a risk on him. Eventually, his talents were recognized, and he rose to become a country music legend. But what if his brother hadn’t tak-

NORTHERN ILLINOIS FOOTBALL

BATTLE IN THE MIDDLE

Shively taking reps with first team at center as Huskies look to replace Ness By JESSE SEVERSON

jseverson@shawmedia.com

eKALB – Before the start of the first practice of the spring football season, Northern Illinois football coach Rod Carey went to watch the center-quarterback exchanges. Andrew Ness, who started the past 56 games at center for the Huskies before graduating last season, was no longer there. “It was a little different for me,” Carey said then. “But we’ll have good guys that will step in there, and it’s going to be a heck of a battle in there. It’s not sexy for you guys to talk about the center battle but it is for us. So, it will be a heck of a battle.” In the fourth week of the spring season, that center battle is between redshirt sophomores Luke Shively and Shane Evans and redshirt freshman Scott Topole. Although the Huskies offensive line coach Joe Tripodi said the battle is still ongoing, the 6-foot-2, 285-pound Shively has been playing with the first string offense so far this spring. “Right now, he’s repping with the ones,” Tripodi said of Shively. “I would say awareness of the game (is the main reason) – he sees things a little quicker than some of the other guys.” Shaw Media file photos Shively played in seven games comABOVE: Northern Illinois center Luke Shivepared to six by Evans last season but ly lines up to hike the ball during a scrimsome of that came on special teams. mage April 1 at Huskie Stadium in DeKalb.

lian Vittore. Cassaro and Vittore were the team that knocked Tiggelaar and Fellabaum out of last year’s playoffs. The DeKalb duo fell in straight sets, falling 6-2, 6-4. “Early on in the first set, we didn’t heat up fast enough,” Fellabaum said. Tiggelaar added, “We definitely had a little bit of nerves going in because we wanted to beat them really badly. We didn’t get it done today. Hopefully, if we see them again, we can beat them.” The Barbs (2-3 overall, 0-2 in conference) will travel Saturday to Geneva to play in a tournament that features competition from schools such as St. Charles East and Lincoln Way East. Bejlk welcomes this as a chance to see what his team can do against some traditional powerhouses. “The biggest thing is to compete,” he said. “I fully expect my boys to compete, no matter who we play.”

Bulls wipe out big early deficit, pound 76ers

CHICAGO – Nobody’s getting fired. Roster changes could be coming. That was the word from Bulls executives John Paxson and Gar Forman after the Bulls closed a disappointing season with a 115-105 victory Wednesday over the Philadelphia 76ers. Paxson defended firing former coach Tom Thibodeau a year ago and said Fred Hoiberg will be back for a second season. He also said the management team is going nowhere and shot down a report that Forman’s job was in jeopardy, saying, “It’s not.”

Cubs rip Reds for best start since 1985

CHICAGO – John Lackey pitched into the seventh inning, Kris Bryant hit his first homer of the season and the Cubs matched the best eight-game start in franchise history with a 9-2 victory Wednesday over the Cincinnati Reds. Miguel Montero had two of the Cubs’ 10 walks and scored three times as the Cubs improved to 7-1 for the first time since 1985 and just the 11th time overall. Jason Heyward drove in two runs with a two-out single in the third and robbed Scott Schebler of a hit with a diving grab in right-center in the fourth.

White Sox top winless Twins

MINNEAPOLIS – The revamped White Sox have had no shortage of contributors to their strong start to the season. Third starter Carlos Rodon and journeyman backup outfielder Jerry Sands were the latest to join the list. Rodon worked his way out of trouble several times to complete six scoreless innings, Sands hit a two-run homer and the Sox kept the Minnesota Twins winless with a 3-0 victory Wednesday.

Evers sixth at national championship at Monmouth By JAMES NOKES

Evers.

The Monmouth sophomore pole vaulter from Kaneland earned his first All-American berth when he finished sixth at the NCAA Division III Indoor Championships on March 12 in Grinnell, Iowa, with a vault of 16 feet, 23/4 inches. Evers didn’t earn an appearance at the indoor championships until the final day of the season at the Wisconsin-Stevens Point Qualifier. Now that the outdoor season is underway, Evers keeps setting PRs. At the Knox College Open on Saturday, Evers was second in the pole vault to teammate Joe Ward, with a new career-best vault of 15-11 – which ranks eighth nationally. Monmouth took first place in the meet. With 14 steals in 15 attempts, it only takes a base hit or a walk for Kaneland grad Lauren Zick to be a threat to get into scoring position for the St. John’s softball team.

The junior first baseman from Kaneland has a .264 batting average and 20 RBIs. Lannie Callaghan’s third home run of the season, a two-run shot, was the game-winner as Valparaiso beat Green Bay, 11-1, on Tuesday in Indiana. The sophomore from Kaneland was 1 for 2 with two runs, two RBIs and a walk in Game 1. Valpo didn’t complete the sweep as it lost, 12-4, in Game 2. Callaghan was 0 for 2 in the nightcap. On the season, she has a .306 batting average. In a 10-8 win Tuesday against Roosevelt, DeKalb grad Sarah Friedlund hit her sixth home run of the season as Judson improved to 18-11. The sophomore third baseman from DeKalb was 2 for 4, with two runs and an RBI. She has a .225 batting average and 17 RBIs. Mitch Ruh helped the Augustana baseball team win its series this weekend at Wheaton College. The junior first baseman from

A second-inning home run, his second of the season, staked the Vikings (16-9, 5-3 CCIW) to a 1-0 lead as he was 1 for 3 with a run and RBI as the Vikings took the rubber game, 4-3. On the season, Ruh has a .280 batting average and 16 RBIs. North Park beat North Central, 13-4, in the first of a three-game set as Mitchell Jordan was 1 for 5 with two runs on Saturday. The Vikings lost, 9-3, in Game 2 as the junior third baseman from Sycamore was 0 for 4 with a run. Northern Illinois won an important series with Central Michigan and moved into third place in the Mid-American Conference West Division. The Huskies (9-22, 5-4 MAC) got a big performance from senior shortstop Brian Sisler in the 9-6 series opening win Friday. The DeKalb grad was 4 for 5 with a run, two doubles and two RBIs. Sisler is third on NIU with a .266 batting average. He’s scored 22 runs, hit six doubles, a triple, a home run and has 20 RBIs.

DeKALB – The DeKalb boys tennis team faced its biggest challenge of the season Wednesday, facing off against Belvedere North. The Barbs were able to avoid being shut out on the day, but dropped the match, 4-1. Although the result wasn’t what Barbs coach Brad Bjelk hoped for, he managed to stay positive. “I thought they all played really well,” Bjelk said. “Playing against good talent is always good for our boys. I always expect them to compete and they competed today. We’ll learn from this.” The Barbs’ lone victory came from the doubles team of Ming Lin and Blake Mirman, who won, 7-5, 0-6, 6-4. In the singles category, Barbs senior Jorge Trejo grinded out around 90 minutes of tennis against Belvedere North’s Thomas Linkenheld. Trejo lost in two sets, both by a score of 6-4. Trejo was not discouraged by the final outcome and he reflected on what he needs to change to get over the hump. “One thing is for sure, my fitness can be better,” Trejo said. “[Linkenheld] is really, really good. I can only see myself getting better from this.” In the doubles matches, DeKalb’s duo of Hunter Tiggelaar and Jack Fellabaum came out looking for revenge against the Blue Thunder team of Josh Cassaro and Maximil-

18 KANELAND GIRLS SOCCER/TRACK AND FIELD

BALANCING ACT Knights’ Richtman balancing two sports during spring By KEVIN DRULEY

kdruley@shawmedia.com

ecca Richtman balances a pair of conditioning-intensive sports as a Kaneland junior. She relishes the experience so much, she even sprints from girls track practice to girls soccer practice each weekday afternoon. “It’s a lot of fun, and especially my teammates support me a lot, too, so that’s also really nice to have someone who has your back,” Richtman said. Richtman competed only in track during the springs of her freshman and sophomore years at Kaneland. Her prep debut included an eighthplace finish at the IHSA Class 2A state meet as part of the Knights’ 4x200-meter relay. Richtman also ran for the state-qualifying 4x800 relay as a freshman. Soccer, a longtime passion, amounted solely to club involvement until this season. Because she plays up one year on her St. Charles-based Tri-Cities Soccer Association club team, Richtman quickly bonded with several members of the high school Class of 2016, including Kaneland senior Kiandra Powell. Powell’s friendly recruiting pushes for Richtman to join the Knights gained monumental steam last season. Kaneland put together the best campaign in girls soccer program history, winning the school’s first regional and sectional titles en route to a Class 2A supersectional berth. Richtman, a cross country athlete in the fall, suddenly was building her stamina for two spring sports. “This was kind of my last chance to play with (the seniors) before they go to college. I had played with them almost my entire life, so that’s something that I definitely didn’t want to miss out on,” Richtman said. “And plus, with them doing so well last year, as well, I mean, why would you not want to be part of something like that? The opportunity was there, so I decided to go ahead and take it.” That’s quite an assertive mindset, and it certainly shows whether Richtman makes her move on the track or the pitch. Still, her decision to juggle track and soccer did not come without consultation. Knights track coach Doug Ecker first gave his blessing, but not before stressing the importance of sensing “when your body’s hurting, when you

RIGHT: Richtman traps a throw in against DeKalb on April 5. have to take rest days and stuff like that,” Richtman said. Assistant girls track coach Keith Snyder, who supervises relays and sprints, praised Richtman’s winter work ethic. She not only aimed to excel in a new high school sports endeavor, but was primed to bounce back from a sophomore track state series that wasn’t quite as sterling as her first. So far, so good. Running at last month’s Illinois Prep Top Times Class 2A indoor meet at Illinois Wesleyan in Bloomington, Richtman helped Kaneland to victory in the 4x800 (9:42.55) and 4x400 (4:01.37). The latter time marked a 2A meet record. “Becca had a really good freshman year. She was a really good freshman,” Snyder said. “Last year, I mean, I think she’d be the first to admit wasn’t the best year for her. And I think she realized to utilize her talent, which she has a world, a ton, of. That she had to work harder. And I think she worked so much harder in the offseason this year to prepare herself to even contemplate playing two sports, let alone being successful. And I think it shows on the track, at least for us. “I can see the hard work being

paid off in the offseason. She is just so much better than she was last year, and she’s shown the talent that she gave everybody a peek of when she was a freshman. So to come back and really work that hard after having a down year last year, that’s really cool for her to not give up and just say, I’m going to show everybody up today. That’s pretty impressive.” At week’s end, the Kaneland girls soccer team stood at 5-2, with Richtman factoring predominantly into the fast start as a nimble outside midfielder. Knights coach Scott Parillo knew of Richtman’s soccer background before this season but said he didn’t go track her down or anything like that. Lately, Parillo finds physically keeping up with Richtman might not be in his best interests, anyway. “I’d be tired, but I’m old,” he said. “She can go run run 3 or 4 miles with track, and then she comes over and runs another couple miles with us.” Richtman, who is quick to note school “obviously comes before anything,” begins practice days with the track team, stretching and running for her workout. After about an hour, she hurries to the adjacent soccer fields, performs her foot skill drills

alone, then joins the fray in time to scrimmage. Before the spring season, Richtman analyzed both the track and soccer schedules and was happy to find only a few overlapping events. She keeps open communication with both coaches about any potential conflicts. On March 19, for instance, Parillo hardly objected to Richtman running in the Northern Illinois Big 12 indoor track meet in Sterling. The soccer team’s opponent, Belvidere, was a nonconference foe. Richtman’s younger brother, Matt, a Kaneland sophomore, finished in 18th place in a school-record 15:04 at the Class 2A boys cross country state meet in November. He, too, excelled at soccer before choosing cross country and track. A few weeks before the high school state meet, Richtman’s younger sister, Rachel, won the Class 3A girls individual title at the Illinois Elementary School Association state meet by more than four seconds. That’s a lot of Richtman running, but it’s really nothing new. “Sports all year round,” Becca Richtman said. With an especially busy spring to push things through.

The Northern Illinois softball team bashed three home runs in its 12-4 win Wednesday in six innings at Ball State to set a program record for most team homers in a single season. The Huskies got home runs from Kali Kossakowski, Kayti Grable and Caitlyn Warren – giving them 46 on the season with 14 games left in the regular season. The previous record of 44 was set in 2015. NIU (27-11, 8-3 Mid-American Conference West) jumped out to a 7-1 lead after a four-run second inning, and the conference’s best offense had another big day at the plate. Kossakowski went 2 for 4 with three runs and three RBIs, Grable was 3 for 3 with two runs and five RBIs and Emily Naegele and Bekah Harnish each added two hits in the win. After freshman starting pitcher Alex Frenz was pulled from the game in the second inning after allowing four runs on six hits, sophomore Tara Thacker earned the win by throwing five scoreless innings in relief, allowing two hits and five walks with five strikeouts. – Staff report

Culturally controversial

Ralphie May brings ‘Unruly’ tour to DeKalb

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN • bkeeperman@shawmedia.com

alphie May doesn’t care if you like his brand of comedy or not. The Egyptian Theatre will host the comedian at 8 p.m. Friday as he continues on his tour for the “Unruly” show. The performer got his start competing on the first season of “Last Comic Standing” in 2003. He won second place on the show and then appeared in numerous comedy shows, movies and Netflix specials. May has faced steep ups and downs in the past few weeks. The comedian’s show in Bemidji, Minne- If you go sota, was canceled following a Twitter n WHAT: Ralphie May storm surrounding n WHERE: Egyptian Theatre, 135 N. a controversial YouSecond St., DeKalb Tube clip of May n WHEN: 8 p.m. Friday m a k i n g r a c i a l n COST: $25 to $50 jokes about Na- n INFORMATION: egyptiantheatre.org tive Americans. He later released an official video apologizing for the remarks, which he said were taken out of context. “I’m sorry that my words hurt people,” he said. “But I’m not sorry for what I said.” On Friday, May compared his work to activism and said that DeKalb could expect a show in his usual style, like it or not. He’s even created a new 10-minute segment based on the thousands of death threats he claims to have received since the outcry. “My style is politically incorrect, racially insensitive and culturally controversial,” May said. “Comedy only makes an impact when it brings not only laughter, but makes you think.” The nonstop life on the road can get grueling, May said. He says he books his gigs a year in advance and the show is constantly evolving to grow material and different sets. “I would like to sleep in my own bed more,” he said. “And I would have liked to have kept my marriage and see my babies more, but nobody pays a comedian to stay in one place.” The canceled show in Minnesota gave him a much-needed rest. “To be honest with you, I work too much,” he said. “A canceled show is a welcome relief.” Some of May’s comedic heroes include George Carlin, Bill Hicks and Richard Pryor, who all incorporated elements of satire and social criticism into their work, he said. “Everyone has become too sensitive and reactionary,” he said. “They forget about freedom of speech and that is still the First Amendment. ... I can’t stop them their protest. ... I would like decency shown to people who pay money. Don’t interrupt the show. Don’t let your sensitivity control someone’s freedom of speech. If you have a problem with what I have to say, I’ll be out front afterwards and you can talk to me about it.”

‘Where Drama Comes From’ topic of NIU professors’ lecture DAILY CHRONICLE Kay Martinovich, a director, and Robert Schneider, a playwright, both professors in Northern Illinois University’s School of Theatre and Dance, will explain “Where Drama Comes From” in a free public lecture on April 21. They’ll provide examples from their own work. The lecture will be held at 5 p.m. in the Diversions Lounge Theatre in the Holmes Student Center on the DeKalb campus. In December, Martinovich led students in the creation of an original work from scratch: “Women In To Light.” Schneider is the author of “Daughters of Waterloo,” a historical generation-gap comedy that opens April 21, also in Diversions Lounge Theatre, and plays through April 24 in a production directed by Stanton Davis. “Nearly all of the plays we produce have already been produced some-

where else,” Schneider said in a news release. “But this year we programmed a devised piece and a world premiere. Kay and I thought people would like to know what it’s like to start with a blank page or a totally empty stage.” Martinovich will describe the process of invention, discussion and collaboration that resulted in “Women In To Light.” Schneider will explain the origins of “Daughters of Waterloo,” which, he said, “involved research, some chance encounters, help from my T.A. and a good deal of luck.” The two professors will illustrate their talk and answer questions afterwards. The premiere of “Daughters of Waterloo” follows at 7:30 p.m. The lecture is open to the public and seating is limited. For more information, contact Martinovich at martinovichniu@gmail.com or Schneider at rschneider@niu.edu or the School of Theatre and Dance Box Office at 815753-1337.

Medicine lowers gout attack risk Dear Dr. K: I have had three attacks of gout in the past year. I never had it before. Now my doctor wants me to take a medicine every day, even though I feel fine. Is this a good idea? Dear Reader: Well, you have a kindred soul in Doctor K, since I also have developed gout in recent years. The disease occurs when a natural chemical called uric acid finds its way into the joints that connect two bones. All of us always have some amount of uric acid in our blood. In people with gout, the amount of uric acid usually is higher than normal. An attack of gout can be quite painful. Most of the time, it hits just one joint – often one of the big toes. However, it can be anywhere. Sometimes gout hits multiple joints at the same time. My last attack hit multiple joints in my right foot and in my right index finger. There are two types of treatment for gout. To treat the pain of an acute attack, anti-inflammatory medicines are necessary. Several different kinds are used. They quell the inflammation in the joint and ease the pain. However, when people have repeated attacks, they also need to take a medicine that lowers the blood levels of uric acid. I’ll bet that’s the treatment your doctor wants you to start. In the United States, the most commonly used medicine is allopurinol. Lowering the blood levels of uric acid reduces the risk of future attacks of gout, although it does not completely eliminate it. So, like many treatments, you’re taking a treatment not to relieve suffering you currently have; instead, you’re

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff taking a treatment to reduce your risk of future suffering. It is easy to tell if the treatment is working: Checking levels of uric acid requires just a simple blood test. But the treatment will work only if you take it as prescribed, meaning every day. The daily treatment might have one other important benefit in addition to reducing future attacks of gout. A recent study of more than 40,000 people followed for almost seven years identified a remarkable result. The study compared people with gout who did not take uric acid-lowering treatment to people with gout who did. People who did not take treatment had more than double the risk of dying from heart disease. How could treatment for inflammation in the joints affect disease of the heart? Atherosclerosis of the heart’s arteries is the greatest cause of premature death in developed nations. It is made worse by inflammation. And there is growing evidence inflammation anywhere in the body can negatively affect the arteries of the heart (and brain). So, should you take daily treatment to lower your uric acid? As I said, you and I are in the same boat. I decided to take the daily pill. • Write to Dr. Komaroff at www.askdoctork.com or Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

a 29-year-old selfmade millionaire who has spent the past decade saving and investing my middle-class income. I grew up dirt poor, so at 18 I left home with $5, went straight to work and never looked back. Recently, I’ve realized I struggle to make friends for fear they’ll find out about my financial situation. Those who know only want to talk about money or treat me differently. Most of my peers are broke, and it makes me feel guilty. Those with high incomes blow their money on fancy dinners and luxury vehicles. I’m just a working-class woman who likes driving my 10-year-old car, and I don’t feel like I fit in with anyone. In fact, I’m developing an anxiety. A few months ago, I went to the bank to deposit a large sum of money and was mortified to see the bank teller was a friend of the family. I have gone to the extreme of lying about owning homes and going on vacations, and it’s making me crazy. I even have issues with letting my young daughter’s friends come over for playdates, for fear the other moms will think our house is “too nice.” Do I need counseling or is this just a turning point in my life I need to grasp? – Money Worries Dear Money Worries: It would be interesting to know how many successful people share your feelings, because I suspect you are far from alone in experiencing them. (A psychiatrist once told me many of her successful patients feel like frauds despite their considerable accomplishments.) A licensed mental health professional can help you to get past these feelings before they cause your daughter to be isolated, and I think the money would be well spent. P.S. If you feel your banking transactions are not being kept confidential, either change financial institutions or arrange for private banking, which is available for high-net-worth individuals. Dear Abby: I am raising two of my grandchildren because their parents can’t take care of them. The kids still are learning acceptable behavior because they were never taught. I’ll give you an example of something that happens often: I was paying for an item at a store, and my granddaughter sneaked behind the counter and reached into the display case. Cupcakes were involved. The saleslady asked her to stop. I immediately got ahold of my wayward offender, glued her to my side until I was finished and then made her apologize. The problem was, the saleslady immediately said, “Oh, it’s OK.” I then had to ask the saleslady to please not tell my granddaughter it was OK, but instead to accept my granddaughter’s apology. Your thoughts? – Raising Grandkids Dear Raising: I think the salesperson was simply being polite and professional, and those children are lucky to have such a caring grandmother watching out for them.

Last week, I wrote about the Jacoby Forcing Major-Suit Raise, responding two no-trump after partner opens one heart or one spade and the next player passes. I said that you could use simple rebids instead of textbook Jacoby. Not surprisingly, some emails came in asking for a description of Oswald Jacoby’s methods. The opener’s top priority with his rebid is to jump to four of a five-card side suit that contains at least two of the top three honors -- as in today’s deal. Then responder will know if it is a double-fit deal and probably can count the partnership’s winners. Here, North, over four hearts, with two fast diamond losers, control-bids five clubs, learns that his partner has a first-round diamond control, and jumps to seven spades. How should South plan the play after West leads the diamond king to declarer’s ace? What would have been a more effective lead by West? When in a grand slam, start by trying to find 13 winners. In this deal, you have four spades, five hearts, one diamond, one club and two club ruffs in the South hand. It is a dummy reversal. However, since the trumps are breaking 4-0 (nearly a 10 percent probability), South must be careful. He needs to draw one round of trumps using his king or jack, not dummy’s ace or queen. Then, when he sees the bad split, he plays a club to dummy’s ace, ruffs a club, leads a heart to dummy, ruffs the last club, draws trumps, and claims. Yes, here, a heart lead would be fatal because it prematurely removes one of the necessary dummy entries.
