Finding homes for huskies

SYCAMORE – Hours before he died this spring, Chuck Williams bought heroin outside a Sycamore hotel from a man who had graduated from the same drug court program he had, authorities said.

Williams, who was spending the night at the Jane Fargo Hotel to work on his marriage, injected the heroin late March 26, and his wife found him unresponsive inside the hotel room about 4 a.m. March 27, authorities said.

Police arrested Joshua M. Walker, 33, of the 200 block of East First Street, Genoa, about 8 p.m. Joshua M. Tuesday. He is ac- Walker cused of selling Williams the heroin he took before he died, Sycamore detective Sgt. Rod Swartzendruber said.

Walker appeared in court Wednesday on the charge of drug-induced homicide, which typically is punishable with between six and 30 years in prison or between 30 to 60 years if he is eligible to serve an extended term. His bond was set at $300,000, which requires posting $30,000 to be released while the case is pending.

He is next due in court July 30.

jhaish@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – Lisa Monge considers Raven’s Husky Haven and Rescue a Match.com for huskies.

“There really is kind of a husky for everybody,” said Monge, manager of Raven’s.

Raven’s Husky Haven and Rescue, at 27779 Five Points Road near Sycamore, has been working to find homes for rescued huskies for about a year and a half now, and Monge is looking forward to helping even more of the dogs in the future.

In the past year and a half, 66 huskies have found homes through the rescue. The rescue serves Illinois shelters and other rescues to bring in Siberian huskies to rehabilitate and train them to get them ready for a good home.

Many are strays or were surrendered by their owners.

Raven’s start in January 2013 was inspired by Raven, a Siberian husky rescued by founders Kelly Lambert and Jennifer Soule.

“Raven really embodies what

Kelly and Jennifer adopted her and brought her back to good health and good spirit. And now she’s a therapy dog; she’s an agility dog. She definitely just shows what Siberians can do and the great lives they can

have after adoption. It’s something that here, we’re striving to do the same.”

“Each time we adopt a husky, it’s like we’re saving two,” Monge said. “Because we get to adopt one out, and we also take in a new husky.”

CHICAGO – Illinois doctors, nursing homes, hospitals and hospice organizations are ramping up for their role as gatekeepers in the state’s new medical marijuana program.

Medical professionals find themselves at the center of a quickly changing legal landscape with minimal scientific research to back the claims of those extolling marijuana’s therapeutic benefits.

“It’s already an issue,” said Dr. Martha Twaddle of JourneyCare in Barrington, which specializes in end-of-life care. “People are asking, ‘What about marijuana?’ ” Illinois is among 23 states that have made medical marijuana legal. Illinois’ new law is on the restrictive side, with a limited list of qualifying health conditions. But one – spinal cord disease – could be broadly interpreted to cover any patient complaining of back pain.

“I imagine that’s the one that will be most prone to abuse,” said

Gaza casualties raise questions The ASSOCIATED PRESS GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip – Shopkeepers say they were sitting outside their shuttered businesses Wednesday, catching a break from being cooped up during wartime, when an Israeli missile struck a nearby mosque, killing a truck driver and wounding 45 people.

One of those wounded by shrapnel said from his hospital gurney that the strike came without warning.

Israel has defended such strikes on civilian sites – nearly 500 homes, 16 mosques and at least two hospitals,

by Palestinian count – by saying that Hamas hides weapons and fighters there or that tunnels into Israel originate in such places.

Israel says it is defending its civilians against rocket fire and other attacks from Gaza and doing its utmost to minimize harm to Palestinian civilians.

However, three-fourths of the Palestinians killed in more than two weeks of Israel-Hamas fighting were civilians, according to U.N. figures. One in four was a minor, it said.

A Palestinian health official put the death toll at 695 and said more than 4,100 were wounded, with civilian casualties rising sharply since Israel sent tanks and troops into Gaza last week in its first ground operation in five years.

Israel has not offered its own count, but Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, a military spokesman, said Wednesday that 210 Gaza militants were killed since the ground operation began.

The heavy civilian death toll leaves Israel increasingly vulnerable to accusations that it is using excessive force and possibly committing war crimes – though in Israel, most of the discourse has focused on the rocket attacks.

While most of the rockets have been intercepted and the damage caused has not been great, the furor over them has been powerful among Israelis. Only in recent days has public opinion started to focus more closely on the devastation in Gaza and the question of disproportionality in Israel’s actions.

WASHINGTON – Out of a seemingly hollow recovery from the Great Recession, a more durable if still slow-growing U.S. economy has emerged.

That conclusion, one held by a growing number of economists, might surprise many people. After all, in the five years since the recession officially ended, Americans’ pay has basically stagnated. Millions remain unemployed or have abandoned their job searches. Economic growth is merely plodding along.

Yet as the economy has slowly healed, analysts say it has replaced some critical weaknesses with newfound strengths. Among the trends: • Fewer people are piling up credit card debt or taking on risky mortgages.

This should make growth more sustainable and avoid a cycle of extreme booms and busts.

• Banks are more profitable and holding additional cash to help protect against a repeat of the 2008 market meltdown.

• More workers hold advanced degrees. Education typically leads to high-

Palestinian families who fled their homes in the southern Gaza Strip ride on a car Wednesday on their way to the city of Khan Younis. Three-fourths of the Palestinians who have died in more than two weeks of Israel-Hamas fighting were civilians, according to U.N. figures, and about 25 percent were minors.

Navi Pillay, the U.N. high commissioner for human rights, said Wednesday that some of the recent Israeli attacks, including those on homes and on a care center for the disabled, raise “a strong possibility that international law has been violated in a manner that could amount to war crimes.”

She also condemned indiscriminate Hamas attacks on Israeli civilians – including some 3,000 rockets fired since July 8 that have killed three Israeli civilians – and said storing military equipment in civilian areas or launching attacks from there is unacceptable.

But, she said, “the actions of one party do not absolve the other party of the need to respect its obligations under international law.”

The U.N. Human Rights Council

voted later Wednesday to establish an independent commission to investigate possible violations of international law during the fighting.

Israel has said the goal of its Gaza operation is to hit Hamas targets, weaken the Islamic militant group’s ability to fire rockets, and destroy Hamas tunnels leading into Israel. The military said Wednesday it has carried out about 3,250 strikes against “terrorist locations,” including what it described as Hamas command centers, tunnels and rocket launching sites.

However, in most cases, the army does not explain why a certain location is being hit, particularly strikes on private homes in which several members of the same family are killed, an increasing common occurrence in recent days.

er wages and greater job security, reducing the likelihood of unemployment.

• Inflation is under control. Runaway price increases would be destructive.

Low inflation can lay a foundation for growth.

• Millions who have reached retirement age are staying on the job. This lessens the economic drag from retiring baby boomers and helps sustain consumer spending.

Over the long run, such trends could help produce a sturdier economy, one less prone to the kind of runaway growth that often ends in a steep and sudden slump.

The downside? At least in the short term, these same trends have prevented the economy from accelerating. When consumers borrow and spend less freely, for example, they restrain growth.

And when people seek to work longer or become more educated, often there aren’t enough jobs for all of them, at least not right away.

People with advanced degrees can often find lower-paying jobs that don’t require much education. But when they do, they tend to push some people with

only a high school education into unemployment.

One of the most striking trends in the recovery has been an aversion to personal debt. A typical U.S. household owes $7,122 in credit card debt, $1,618 less than at the start of the recession, according to analysis of New York Federal Reserve data by the firm Nerd Wallet.

(After factoring in inflation, the balance is $2,900 lower.)

Kevin Quigley, a massage therapist, found that by the time the recession struck, his card balance had ballooned to as much as $35,000. The 33-year old from University City, Missouri ascribed that to “thinking that I needed a lot of things.”

Beginning in 2010, he consolidated his card debt and reduced it by $300 a month until it disappeared.

“Peace of mind became more important to me than stuff,” Quigley said.

Two primary factors explain the decline in card debt: Lending standards were tightened, and consumers “just kind of froze in place,” said Jelena Ewart, general manager of credit cards and banking at Nerd Wallet.

Nunn and Perdue shift to battle of outsiders The ASSOCIATED PRESS ATHENS, Ga. – New Republican nominee David Perdue and Democratic opponent Michelle Nunn used the first day of the general election campaign to retool the “outsider” arguments they’ve used to reach this point in a race that will help determine who controls the Senate for the final years of the Obama administration.

Their first targets: each other’s private sector experience.

Perdue was a journeyman corporate CEO; Nunn is a nonprofit executive on leave. Neither has held public office, making Georgia’s Senate race the only one in the country to feature two selfstyled “outsiders” who must find other ways to capitalize on voter discontent.

“I do think that our records are very different,” Nunn told reporters in Athens, home to the University of Georgia.

Perdue, 64, downplayed Nunn’s re-

sume as inferior to his.

“My issue isn’t so much how she ran that organization,” he said Wednesday.

It was the opening salvo to the general election the day after Perdue defeated Rep. Jack Kingston in a Republican runoff to set up one of the nation’s mostwatched races in the 2014 midterms.

Not fixing address lands man in jail Sex offender accused of failure to notify police says he is homeless

By ANDREA AZZO aazzo@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – Robert D. Gahlbeck, the sex offender accused of failing to notify police of an address change, limped to his seat when he appeared in court Wednesday.

Gahlbeck, 58, formerly of the 1100 block of Golf Court, DeKalb, told Associate Judge John McAdams that he was walking to his wife’s house Tuesday when he passed out along Annie Glidden Road in DeKalb.

The next thing he knew, he was in Kishwaukee Hospital in DeKalb with three IV’s in his body, and doctors were treating him for foot problems and a possible cyst in his chest, Gahlbeck said. He was taken to DeKalb County Jail a few hours later.

When McAdams asked Gahlbeck if he would be able to post $1,000 bail, Gahlbeck responded, “No, I’m homeless, sir.”

Court records show that Gahlbeck agreed not to live at the Golf Court home while his divorce is pending, as his wife owned the home for more than a year before their marriage. The divorce case, filed in March, remains pending.

Police arrested Gahlbeck

about 9 p.m. Tuesday at the hospital after a judge issued a warrant for him earlier that day on allegations of violating the sex offender registry.

Gahlbeck was sentenced to four years’ probation July 11 after pleading guilty to attempted child pornography.

He was accused in March 2013 of tying up a relative and Robert D. her friend, both Gahlbeck younger than 13 years old at the time, and placing duct tape over their mouths, court records show.

Gahlbeck hung the girls by their bound wrists from hooks on his bedroom ceiling and photographed them wearing clothing, according to court records.

Sycamore police Lt. Darrell Johnson said Gahlbeck checked out of Motel 6 in Sycamore on Thursday and failed to tell police where he was going to live. State law requires sex offenders to notify authorities of an address change within three days.

If convicted of violating the sex offender registry, Gahlbeck would face up to five years in prison. He is next due in court July 29.

DeKalb woman sold methadone, police say

By ANDREA AZZO aazzo@shawmedia.com DeKALB – A DeKalb woman is accused of delivering methadone to a man who was later taken to Kishwaukee Hospital for a drug overdose, court records show.

DeKalb police said two people went into the apartment of Kathie A. Lazar, 24, of the 200 block of East Lincoln Highway, to buy methadone from her about 5 p.m. Tuesday when the man overdosed.

On Wednesday afternoon, the man was well enough to talk with police at the hospital, authorities said.

While in court Wednesday morning, Lazar asked Associate Judge John McAdams if she could be admitted into the county’s drug court program.

Lazar has a prescription for methadone, court records

show.

“I am on methadone. I really need that in here,” she said. “I won’t be able to detox here.”

Police said they found multiple bottles of methadone and about 15 grams of marijuana in Lazar’s apartKathie A. ment.

Lazar Lazar was charged with delivery of a controlled substance within 1,000 feet of a park, unlawful delivery of a controlled substance and possession of marijuana with the intent to deliver.

eKALB – Local skaters jumped at the chance to skate in the street Wednesday.

Skate Street DeKalb was held Wednesday on Locust Street as part of Kishwaukee Fest. People of all ages brought out their skateboards to ride in the street and through Van Buer Plaza.

Kishwaukee Fest chairman Michael Embrey said the skate event was started because originally, Kishwaukee Fest was all about music events.

Wednesday night was a night for children and teens, but festival organizers had a tough time picking a music genre to appeal to the younger audience. That’s when they pulled together the skating event.

“Skating is a heck of a lot more fun,” Embrey said.

Josh Waddle, of the DeKalb Chamber of Commerce, said the event brings kids and families to downtown as well, to remind them what downtown DeKalb has to offer.

Monica Maschak – mmaschak@shawmedia. com

One downtown business, Small Town Skate Shop, built the skateboard ramps for the event.

“It’s a good way to keep people excited about skateboarding,” said Ariel Ries, owner of Small Town Skate Shop. “They get to actually skate in the street, which is huge. We do it for the love of skating and how amazing [skating] makes you feel.”

The skating will continue from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Satur-

day on Locust Street. There will be a miniramp contest with a cash prize. There will also be a demonstration from Character Skateboards, out of Chicago.

Jeff Schwartz and Michael

Koeplin, both 17 and from Sycamore, came out for the event after hearing about it for the first time this year.

“I thought it was pretty cool ’cause there’s not that many places around here to skate,” Koeplin said.

Adam Barnhardt, 18, of Sugar Grove said the event was a good way to get out.

“It’s fun to meet new people and get to hang out with other skaters,” Barnhardt said.

8STATE BRIEF Loves Park veteran raising funds for flags LOVES PARK – A northern Illinois World War II veteran who gives away thousands of free American flags every Memorial Day has raised $4,000 for a fund to keep the tradition going after he dies.

“My intent is to continue this until I die,” Navy veteran Lee Hartsfield, 87, told the Rockford Register Star.

Hartsfield said he wants to raise $25,000 for the flag program and he has an anonymous donor who will match that amount, giving him $50,000. His goal is to raise $5,000 a year for the next few years. Hartsfield now raises $3,000 a year to pay for the flags, which decorate veterans’ graves. The flags are given out at the Field of Honor in Loves Park.

DeKALB – Anna Marie Diab, 70, of DeKalb, Illinois, died Thursday, July 17, 2014, at Bethany Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center, DeKalb.

She was born July 20, 1943, in Rockford, the daughter of Clarence and Victoria (Paluzzi) Anderson.

Anna and her brother, Robert, spent much of their time growing up at their parents’ grocery store in Loves Park.

Anna was a graduate of Harlem High School in Loves Park, where she was named Betty Crocker Homemaker of the Year in her senior year. She attended Illinois State University, and earned her teaching certificate and a master’s degree at Northern Illinois University. Her entire career was devoted to teaching children in the Waterman and Shabbona elementary schools (now the Indian Creek school district).

Anna was a beloved member of First Lutheran Church in DeKalb, where she served faithfully in children’s educational ministries and on the church council. In recent years, she occupied the bench inside the church door on Sunday mornings, where she often greeted those coming to and leaving worship services.

She will be dearly missed there.

Anna is survived by her son, Joseph (Jennifer) Diab of Moline; grandsons, Alecsander Diab, Nicholas Edwards and Adam Edwards, all of Moline; her aunt, Anna Anderson of Florida; and her goddaughter, Katie Mooney of DeKalb. She also is survived by several cousins and a large network of friends, including fellow retired teachers from the Indian Creek school district, members of her YMCA swimming group, a close circle of high school friends, and her church “family.”

She was preceded in death by her parents and her brother, Robert.

Anna will be remembered for her love of books, public radio, crafts, sewing, theater and floral design.

She found great joy in cooking and entertaining, and always made more food than her guests could possibly eat. In later years, she found inspiration and hope in the movie “The Blind Side,” which she watched more than 40 times. She also enjoyed following the football careers of her son, Joe, and grandson Alec.

In keeping with Anna’s wishes, her body has been donated to the Anatomical Gift Association of Illinois for diabetes research.

Anna’s family and friends wish to thank Dr. D. Thakkar and Dr. J. Patel for their dedicated medical care, Pastor Janet Hunt for Anna’s spiritual care, and Ben, Nina and Hayden for providing in-home care during Anna’s last months.

A memorial service for Anna will be at 11 a.m. Saturday, July 26, at First Lutheran Church, 324 N. Third St., DeKalb, with the Rev. Dr. Janet Hunt officiating. Reception will follow in the church Social Hall.

In lieu of flowers, donations in celebration of Anna’s life may be made to the DeKalb Public Library (for the children’s book collection) or to First Lutheran Church.

40 bodies from downed jet returned to Dutch soil The ASSOCIATED PRESS EINDHOVEN, Netherlands – Victims of the Malaysian jetliner shot down over Ukraine returned at last Wednesday to Dutch soil in 40 wooden coffins, solemnly and gently carried to 40 identical hearses, flags at half-staff flapping in the wind.

The carefully choreographed, nearly silent ceremony contrasted sharply with the boom of shells and shattered glass in eastern Ukraine as pro-Russian rebels fought to hang onto territory and shot down two Ukrainian fighter jets. The bold new attack showed the separatists are not shying away from shooting at the skies despite international outrage and grief at the attack on Malaysia Airlines Flight 17.

Though they are still unidentified, the corpses that arrived on two military transport planes in Eindhoven were embraced by a nation unmoored by the loss of so many people in someone else’s faraway war.

Boys going to visit their grandparents, a flight attendant hurrying to get home, a bouncer heading to see his sweetheart were among the 298 victims in the jetliner that was blown out of the sky on July 17, intensifying anger at the separatists suspected of bringing it down with a surface-to-air missile.

Nearly a week later, international investigators still don’t have unfettered access to the crash site, some remains have yet to be recovered, and armed men roam the region.

Investigators in a lab in southern England began studying the plane’s “black boxes” Wednesday in hopes of learning about the Boeing 777’s final minutes. The Dutch Safety Board, which has taken control of the investigation, said the cockpit voice recorder suffered damage but showed no sign of manipulation, and its recordings were intact. Specialists will start studying the flight data recorder today.

Families of passengers moved to a new stage of grief as the bodies began arriving in the Netherlands, the country with the heaviest death toll.

The families had spent days agonizing in wait while their loved ones’ remains lay in fields in eastern Ukraine before being gradually shifted by truck, train and plane.

Monge said the ties to Northern Illinois University’s Huskie mascot have proved helpful for the local rescue.

“It’s been really great to be here in DeKalb/Sycamore, because everybody obviously is attached to the huskies, thanks to NIU,” she said. “Being able to bring these dogs to different events and get that kind of love

is very exciting for us. It’s one of the reasons why the founders built the rescue here, is to be close to that.”

Monge said although huskies can have high energy levels, they are goofy, loving animals.

“You have to have a sense of humor to have a husky,” she said. “They think they’re hilarious.”

• MARIJUANA Continued from page A1 Dr. William McDade, president of the Illinois State Medical Society, one of the groups that will help doctors navigate the new terrain.

State regulators have signaled they won’t allow doctors to set up shop to churn out recommendations.

In December, regulators filed a complaint against a doctor who opened a clinic called Good Intentions offering “pre-approval” for medical cannabis. The doctor faces revocation of his license because the Illinois law requires a “bona fide physician-patient relationship.”

The enforcement approach leaves doctors chatting face to face with their regular patients about a once-forbidden drug. In September, patients will start applying for marijuana ID cards, and they’ll need a doctor’s certification.

Without it, they won’t be able to use cannabis legally.

Here’s a look at how the medical industry is preparing:

Half of the old building will be used for meeting and community space, while the other half will be used for storage. A walkway will connect the old and new buildings.

Both men had completed drug court Walker was not always compliant while in the program, though. He was kicked out of Serenity House, a home for recovering addicts in Addison, and served four days in the DeKalb County Jail in June 2012, according to court records. A few weeks later, he also was sentenced to 30 days in jail after being convicted of a misdemeanor, court records show.

However, Walker ultimately received his certificate for completing drug court in March 2013, court records show.

The burglary and trespassing charges against Walker were dropped as part of the agreement drug court had with him, court records show.

Charles Williams, 30, of

DeKalb, and his wife, Dalia, married in June 2013 and both graduated from DeKalb County Drug Court in November.

Charles Williams left behind three stepchildren. He had been admitted to the drug court program in August 2012 after twice being charged with cocaine possession, court records show.

Dalia Williams was not implicated during the investigation, and evidence shows Charles Williams and Walker made arrangements for the drug deal on March 26 before Charles and Dalia arrived at the hotel at 355 W. State St. in Sycamore, Swartzendruber said. Police found no evidence that Charles Williams had used heroin before that day, Swartzendruber said.

Nursing homes, hospice groups weigh rules handle requests from qualifying residents and where marijuana will be permitted.

“Most nursing home residents are on highly monitored and charted medical diets, and this must be taken into consideration as we move forward,” said Pat Comstock, executive director of the Health Care Council of Illinois, the state’s largest nursing home trade group.

Marla Levi, 51, of Buffalo Grove, eats marijuana brownies – still illegal until she gets her doctor’s promised recommendation – to ease rigidity in her legs caused by multiple sclerosis. Levi, who lives at home with nursing care but may someday need to move to a nursing facility, said nursing home residents with a medical need should have a right to marijuana.

Sisters Lauren and Lexie Leffelman of Kirkland volunteer to help with “luv time,” which involves cuddling and providing affection to dogs that may not be accustomed to it. Volunteers document how much affection time is spent with each husky to make sure they are receiving enough attention to make a healthy transformation.

Is treating trees best use of city funds?

Inflation hawks’ data doesn’t add up “I don’t think you have until 2012 before this gets out of control and there’s hyperinflation. It could go past that to 2014, but we’re seeing all sorts of things happening now that are accelerating the inflation process.” Thus spoke economist John Williams in May 2011.

The Consumer Price Index rose 1.6 percent in 2012 and another 1.6 percent in 2013.

It has been rising at a somewhat faster clip so far this year, but slower than it was in, say, the first few months of 2008. The Billion Prices Project, which collects a wide range of data from online retailers, gives roughly the same picture as the CPI. There’s no hyperinflation if you believe the official statistics.

Some people don’t, including Williams.

His “Shadow Government Statistics” website argues that the government systematically understates inflation. Some conservatives and libertarians lend credence to his numbers, as Amity Shlaes does at National Review Online.

Measuring inflation is admittedly

VIEWS Ramesh Ponnuru tricky. But it’s easier to measure the total amount of goods and services produced and bought, and these output numbers tell a story that is much more consistent with the official version than the “shadow” statistics.

If inflation were as high as these conservatives claim, then the economy would have to be shrinking fast. Williams is willing to bite that bullet: His site would have you believe that the economy has been continuously shrinking since 2005.

But if that’s the case, then we also ought to see rapidly rising unemployment. Even he isn’t willing to go that far.

People who think inflation is much higher than officially estimated generally argue that the Federal Reserve is hurting American consumers by raising the prices of food, gas and other necessities. That’s

where Shlaes is coming from.

It’s certainly true that a looser monetary policy raises those prices and a tighter one would bring them down. But these policies would have the same effect on the price of labor. It’s the ratio of goods and prices to wages that matters for living standards.

There’s no reason to think that the Fed’s policies are doing anything to increase the percentage of household budgets spent on food.

If we want to bring down the price of food relative to wages, we’d be better off looking at our agricultural policies than at our monetary policy. And we’d be better off, as well, if we stopped paying attention to statistical cranks.

Illinois can learn from Texan example PORT ISABEL, TEXAS – I like to eat at blue-collar diners and cafés, particularly when I’m on vacation.

It’s a chance to step beyond the homogenized national chains and experience a bit of local flavor. And being a reporter, I like to chat up local folks to find out a bit about their community.

This past week, I took my family to Texas.

We enjoyed first-rate barbecue, homemade tortillas, jalapeno-infused dishes and fresh gulf shrimp.

We also had some terrific conversations with ordinary folks.

One day, I found myself standing in line at a restaurant with a Port Isabel, Texas, teacher. I asked the teacher, “So how is the economy around here?”

His response surprised me.

“It’s terrific,” he said. “These people who are moving here are creating all kinds of jobs. They are starting businesses.”

It was refreshing to hear someone talking about newcomers to a community as “job creators” rather than “job takers.”

Unlike Texas, Illinois has been experiencing an exodus. And on average, those leaving Illinois earn $8,000 more per year than those who choose to move here, according to Internal Revenue Service data.

Folks who earn more money are more likely to start businesses, invest in the economy, pay more taxes and make more purchases.

In short, Illinois is becoming a poorer state because wealthy and middle-class people are leaving and lower-income folks are moving in to take their place.

Texas, on the other hand, is becoming

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

VIEWS Scott Reeder wealthier. And it’s happening partially at Illinois’ expense. Between 1995 and 2010, $2 billion in personal income shifted from the Land of Lincoln to the Lone Star State, according to “How Money Walks” by Travis Brown.

In fact, National Review noted this year a greater percentage of people moving out of Illinois than any other state but Rhode Island. By contrast, Texas’ population grew 5.2 percent between 2010 and 2013 – a higher percentage than any state but picayune North Dakota.

That doesn’t surprise me. After driving from Texarkana to Brownsville, I was wowed by the number of new factories and small businesses sprouting up all over the Lone Star state. Even in smaller communities we visited like Galveston, Brownsville or San Marcos, there was plenty of new construction underway.

And in the bigger cities we visited like Dallas, Austin and San Antonio the economy appears to be on steroids.

Why is this happening?

After all, Texans aren’t any smarter or harder working than those in Rockford, Moline or Chicago.

The things that set Texas apart from the Land of Lincoln are low taxes, less labor conflict and few government regulations.

For example, for every hundred dollars in payroll, Texas employers pay 39 cents for workers’ compensation insurance

while their Illinois counterparts pay $1.10.

Texas is a “right to work” state. For many industries, whether a state allows compulsory unionism has become a litmus test for whether they will invest there.

And let’s not forget Texas doesn’t have an income tax.

In Illinois, we are expected to forfeit 5 percent of our income to Springfield just for the privilege of living here, while in Texas not a cent is taken out of your paycheck by state government.

This has attracted many entrepreneurs to invest there.

In fact, according to the Kauffman Foundation, the rate of entrepreneurship in Texas was 65 percent greater than Illinois in 2013.

My family enjoyed its visit to Texas.

We enjoyed dining along the river in San Antonio, playing on the beaches on South Padre Island and watching dolphins in the Gulf of Mexico.

But Texas isn’t home. Illinois is. We love this state and we want to see it succeed.

Illinois will never have the Gulf of Mexico. Texas will never have a river as mighty as the Mississippi. But we can learn from each other.

And when it comes to economics, Texas has a lot to teach us. I hope the politicians in Springfield are listening.

It does not appear as though the emerald ash borer infestation will go away any time soon.

The question then becomes, how long is the city of DeKalb willing to continue paying to protect hundreds of ash trees?

Since 2012, the city has spent tens of thousands of dollars to protect hundreds of ash trees from the tiny green beetles, insects native to China that are killing many area ash trees. The beetle’s larvae kill the trees by burrowing into them, disrupting the trees’ systems for moving food and water and eventually starving them.

The trees are treated by drenching the soil around them with a chemical that repels the borer.

This year, the DeKalb City Council accepted a bid of as much as $25,000 from Trugreen to treat 859 ash trees on city property.

The effectiveness of the treatments is not universally accepted – Sycamore city officials have declined to treat any of their trees and instead are removing them.

In DeKalb, the treatments appear to have preserved more than 90 percent of the roughly 930 trees that Dave Clanton of Clanton Tree Co. says he initially treated in 2012.

The council had committed to treating its ash trees for as many as five years, and 2014 is year three of the program. But scrutiny is growing on demands on the city’s general fund revenue.

With no means of eradicating the ash borer in sight, this might be a program that is more delaying the inevitable need to remove the trees rather than ensuring they can survive for decades to come.

Ash trees became popular in part because they grow quickly and can thrive on parkways, unlike some species of trees. However, they appear to have been over-used in some neighborhoods, and removing them creates a noticeable void.

Tall, mature trees add character to neighborhood parkways. They provide shade for people and habitat for birds. Scientific studies show they make people happier.

But ash trees are not the only species capable of providing those benefits. If the only way to save the ash trees is with costly annual treatments, the best strategy might be to develop a tree replacement program.

Terrorist use of drones a scary future reality A very small airplane rose over the Gaza Strip last week. It entered Israeli airspace and sped toward the coastal city of Ashdod. Then a Patriot missile blew it up.

The plane, a rudimentary drone launched by the terrorist group Hamas, posed little threat. But Hamas promises more to come – including some intended for “suicide missions.” That suggests a vexing problem: As drones become more commonplace, what’s to stop terrorists from using them?

Drones have an obvious appeal to the extremist mind. They’re hard to detect, controlled from afar and capable of flying into crowded or remote places. They can be affixed with explosives or chemical agents. And no one has to die to complete the mission.

Concerns about a terrorist using a drone aren’t entirely hypothetical. Hezbollah has been flying them into Israeli airspace for a decade. Hamas claims to have three varieties. Al-Qaida has planned to use remote-controlled planes for a range of brutal attacks.

In 2012, a Massachusetts graduate student was imprisoned for plotting to strap explosives to small drones and fly them into the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol.

None of these scenarios led to casualties. But other potential uses are unnerving: crop-dusting drones modified to disperse deadly chemicals, unmanned planes used as assassins, drones meant to attack critical infrastructure.

It’s somewhat comforting to know that, for now, armed drones – the kind the U.S. uses in Pakistan and Afghanistan – probably remain beyond the reach of terrorists. And the payloads of most unarmed varieties on the market, even if modified to do harm, are probably insufficient to cause significant casualties or structural damage. Also: flying a drone isn’t a trivial skill and buying one still takes a lot of cash.

But these challenges may not impede terrorists forever. Is there a way to mitigate this threat?

Simply publicizing the dangers – without hysterics – would be a start. Making sure that drone manufacturers and training instructors around the world know their customers and are on the lookout for suspicious behavior should be a priority. And the international arrangements regulating the export of drone technology should be strengthened with terrorism in mind, with special attention on unmanned planes that can evade radar or fly aggressively.

Technology should also be of some help. Many larger drones can be detected by radar and shot down. The U.S. and Israel are improving defenses against smaller ones, too. It’s also possible to jam the frequencies drones use for navigation or hack them.

By 2030, some 30,000 unmanned planes may be hovering overhead in the U.S., most of them devoted to worthy things such as agriculture and emergency response. All the more reason to start thinking now about how best to separate the good ones from the bad.

“It’s time to love again…”

I’ll be honest with you. I loved my home of forty-two years in DeKalb. After all, my husband Royce and I built our home together, raised a family, enjoyed our neighbors Marilyn Thompson and spent time with good friends. The reality is that after my husband died, maintaining a home and living alone wasn’t all that it was cracked up to be. Don’t get me wrong, I like my own company just fine but I also enjoy being with people. Oak Crest provides me with an outlet for my social interests and I have a lovely home, privacy and the security of knowing that all my needs will be met when the time comes. Someone said one day, “I thought you loved your home.” I just looked them in the eye and said, “I did love my home, but honey it’s time to love again.” Come for a visit and fall in love with all that Oak Crest has to offer.

MID-AMERICAN CONFERENCE MEDIA DAY

Ex-Huskie builds for future at WMU Fleck brings in top recruiting class after 1-11 year AP photo

Schiller gets another NFL shot in St. Louis Pat Schiller (above right) tabled some of the accelerated football jargon on reserve in his brain upon joining his alma mater as an assistant coach last season.

Boy, is the former Geneva standout ready to channel it now.

Just in time for the St. Louis Rams’ first full-squad workout of training camp Friday, Schiller, a 6-foot-2, 235-pound linebacker, signed with the team this week.

On Tuesday, Schiller shared a photo of a Rams helmet on his Instagram account. The caption read: “Thankful for another opportunity!”

The Atlanta Falcons cut Schiller, also a former Northern Illinois star, at the end of training camp in 2013.

He suffered the same fate in 2012, lasting until the final cut of training camp.

He spent only a few hours in Geneva before the Falcons asked him to join their practice squad last season.

Tuning into to pro games on any given Sunday – namely those involving the Falcons – could be a chore.

“It’s so hard to watch the Falcons play, I’m not going to lie to you,” Schiller told Shaw Media in October. “It took me a while before I could even do it. All those guys, you’ve got a year and a half invested into a team. When you’re part of a team, you’re part of a brotherhood.”

Schiller remained a fixture at Batavia-based ProForce Sports Performance training to stay in shape for the chance he always stayed optimistic about.

By STEVE NITZ snitz@shawmedia.com DETROIT – P.J. Fleck’s first season as a collegiate head coach wasn’t anything to write home about, as his Western Michigan Broncos struggled to a 1-11 record in an injury-riddled year.

At the same time, Fleck wasn’t expecting to come in like gangbusters and compete for conference titles right away. He feels it was all about building that foundation for future success, just as Joe Novak did when Fleck was a wide receiver at Northern Illinois.

“Don’t sacrifice what you really want, for what you want right now.

Field. “Sometimes when you focus on just winning, and winning now, the program never gets built. It gets built on little, weak stilts, it’s like building a beach home with no foundation.”

In terms of the foundation, it’s something of which Fleck seems extremely proud. While the 2013 season may have been a horror story of sorts, it didn’t carry over into recruiting.

Fleck’s Broncos brought home the top-ranked recruiting class in the MAC, according to Rivals, and the 46th-best in the

nation. Fleck said as many as 14 true freshmen could see the field this year, and maybe even start.

“We needed to get recruits in there. We had all 25 committed before the season started, that was huge. But we recruited the right people, because it showed, because we went through a season of 1-11 and they all stuck,” Fleck said.

“Which is shocking. They had to walk down the hallways with a Western Michigan shirt on every day of a week just getting waxed. And they had to sit there and say, ‘Yep, I’m [going to WMU]’ instead of Florida or Nebraska or Florida State or Michigan State, or Minnesota or whatever.

“That’s the type of kid though, that can handle adversity. Those are the kids we wanted to build the program

The NIU women’s soccer program announced its 19 match schedule, with its home opener Sept. 5 against Nebraska-Omaha at 7 p.m.

The Huskies make their first trip to Hawaii as part of the OHANA Hotels and Resorts No Ka Oi. NIU will spend its Labor Day weekend in Hawaii taking on the Rainbow Wahine on Aug. 29 and Seattle on Aug. 31.

“We are very excited for the 2014 season,” coach John Ross said. “Our nonconference opponents will be challenging and help prepare us for our MAC schedule. We are looking forward to seeing the players when camp starts and getting the season started.”

The Huskies return seven players who had 10 or more starts last season, including leading scorer Nicole Gobbo.

Broncos owner gives up control, cites Alzheimer’s ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – Even as dementia began to rob him of some of his fondest memories over the past few years, Denver Broncos owner Pat Bowlen reported to work every day to oversee multimillion-dollar upgrades to the team’s training facilities and roster.

So his absence from Dove Valley headquarters Wednesday as players reported for physicals on the eve of training camp was as jarring as the announcement that the 70-year-old Bowlen was giving up control of the team because of Alzheimer’s disease.

“This place will never be the same,” a choked-up general manager John Elway said. “...

It’s going to be very hard to not see him walk through the front doors every day.”

Ownership of the franchise is held in a trust Bowlen set up more than a decade ago in hopes that one of his seven children will one day run the team, Ellis said Bowlen asked him to run that trust.

Cities to meet with USOC about 2024 COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Leaders from the four U.S. cities in the running to bid for the 2024 Summer Games will meet with U.S. Olympic Committee leadership Friday in the first gathering to include representatives from all the major interested parties.

The USOC has asked teams from Los Angeles, Boston, Washington and San Francisco to send up to four people each for what it is billing as a low-key informative session about the finances and other details about bidding for the Olympics.

USOC CEO Scott Blackmun told The Associated Press the list of representatives was still being completed as of Wednesday.

Although the USOC wasn’t gearing this toward city and state leaders, Blackmun said all the cities were welcome to bring whoever they wanted.

Chiefs, running back Charles reach deal KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Pro Bowl running back Jamaal Charles has agreed to a contract extension with the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Chiefs announced the deal Wednesday night.

The two-year extension runs through the 2017 season, a person familiar with the contract said on the condition of anonymity because the team didn’t disclose terms of the contract.

The six-year NFL veteran ran for 1,287 yards and 12 touchdowns last year to help the Chiefs reach the playoffs. He also had 70 catches for 693 yards and seven more TDs as Kansas City went 11-5 before losing to Indianapolis in an AFC wild-card game.

“Jamaal is an elite player in the National Football League,” Chiefs general manager John Dorsey said in a statement released by the team. “It was important for us to keep him here in Kansas City long-term.”

NATIONAL LEAGUE

BY DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com It’s been a peaks-and-valleys kind of year for Tyler Flowers, and Wednesday was a peakand-valley kind of day for the White Sox catcher.

After the Sox’ 2-1 loss to the Kansas City Royals, Flowers had to explain how Mike Moustakas led with his knee to jar the ball out of Flowers’ mitt in the ninth, allowing what turned out to be the winning run to score. Center fielder Adam Eaton had made a perfect one-hop throw after fielding Nori Aoki’s single. ‘‘I thought I had it the whole time,’’ said Flowers, who heard more than a few boos and hoots from the crowd of 23,811 on a delightfully cool and sunny

July afternoon.

Only hours before, Flowers happily stood at the same spot by his locker talking about his dash from U.S. Cellular Field to Northwestern Hospital after Monday’s game and how he seemed to hit every green light along the way, allowing him to arrive in time to be with his wife for the birth of the couple’s second child. The big moment came only 38 minutes after the final out. ‘‘It was a whirlwind,’’ Flowers said of the previous couple of days.

The way the Sox were hitting, a clean play by Flowers might have only lengthened the time it took them to get beat. After the second inning, they scratched out only Flowers’ single to left and Alexei Ramirez’s infield hit against James Shields and the Royals’ stout bullpen. All they scrounged up offensively was Adam Dunn’s RBI single in the first that scored Jose Abreu, who had doubled. After that, Dunn and Abreu each struck out three times.

The Sox sent three batters to the plate in each of the last five innings, and with that, another strong outing by Jose Quintana – who lowered his ERA to 3.15 with seven innings and one run allowed – went down the tubes. It was the

36th no-decision of Quintana’s 2½-year career. ‘‘We had opportunities and weren’t able to really scratch across anything to push ahead,’’ manager Robin Ventura said.

On the plus side for Flowers, he had two hits, giving him nine in his last 15 at-bats over the last five games. He hit .354 in the first month of the season before nose-diving to .208 in May and .129 in June. He’s trying to salvage July with a streak that hiked his average to .235 after it had bottomed out at .213. ‘‘Swinging at good pitches, getting in better counts, that always makes it a little bit easier,’’ Flowers said. ‘‘That’s kind of the big objective: Swing at strikes, take the balls.’’

PADRES 8, CUBS 3

Kennedy walks 5, Pads still beat Cubs The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – Tommy Medica hit a go-ahead RBI double in the fifth inning, Ian Kennedy pitched six strong innings, and the San Diego Padres beat the Cubs 8-3 on Wednesday night.

On a cool, unseasonably summer night in Chicago, Kennedy (8-9) won his third straight decision. He allowed three runs, three hits, while striking out six and pitching around a season-high five walks. He worked out of a bases loaded jam in the fifth inning.

Medica finished with three hits and drove in two runs for the Padres, who came into the game with baseball’s worst batting average at .215.

Luis Valbuena hit a three-homer for the Cubs, who have lost 12 of its last 15 games.

Fleck also felt his charisma carried over into recruiting, helping the Broncos land the highly-touted class that they did.

Colon flirts with perfect game SEATTLE — Bartolo Colon watched the line drive fall into the outfield grass and applauded. It was all Colon could do after his attempt to toss the first perfect game in New York Mets history was thwarted.

Colon came within seven outs of a perfect game Wednesday afternoon, before giving up a twoout single to Robinson Cano in the seventh inning of the Mets’ 3-2 win over the Mariners.

Colon left a 2-2 fastball elevated on the outer half of the plate and Cano served the pitch into left field, dropping it well in front of Eric Young Jr. “You’re a little disappointed when they get a hit, but that’s what they’re trying to do,” Colon said through an interpreter. “They’re trying to get a hit and break up the no-hitter.”

Don’t let negatives drag down game Infinite possibilities are available before every golf shot.

Yet first-tee jitters, intimidation from a certain playing partner or an undesirable wind direction are what players are most focused on when they ask Jake Thurm how to fix a mental approach they consider broken.

The assistant general manager and lead instructor at Fresh Meadow Golf Course in Hillside said players should focus on what they can control.

“In a pressurized situation we assign a different value to the situation which creates inhabitions,” Thurm said. “If you don’t like a playing partner, the ranger that is nearby or the direction of the wind, you’ve established an inhibition that will change your motor pattern.”

Last week, Thurm attended the British Open with his long-time friend and PGA Tour player Kevin Streelman. Adverse weather conditions are a notorious component of golf’s oldest major tournament and Streelman, who finished in a tie for 54th with a 2-over-par 290, was part of the draw that faced the toughest weather in the first round.

When the wind and rain turned the umbrellas sideways Thursday morning, Thrum reminded his friend each shot demanded his attention.

“Everything around Kevin could have thrown him off,” Thurm said. “The wind, the golf course, the tradition of the tournament and the round pot bunkers were all there to throw him off his game. I asked him to keep a high commitment level and low tension level. It’s more important to be decisive than it is to be correct. When faced with adversity you can’t lack conviction.”

As the brisk winds, which

Golf Insider James Nokes are a frequent part of a golf round in DeKalb County pick up, Thurm doesn’t stress a change in technique. Rather, a player should think of crisply struck golf shot using the motor patterns they’ve honed on the range and course over the years.

“Simply focus on solid contact,” Thurm said.

“That’s the number one thing. Then you can begin to take trajectory into account.”

While wind, rain and other adverse weather conditions are bound to eventually test every golfer, Thurm said they only become a negative when a golfer eliminates the possibility that a positive outcome is attainable.

“Everyone, juniors, amateurs and even pros ask me how to avoid negative thoughts,” Thurm said. “I tell them a story about a dream I had where a plane crashes into me then I wake up suddenly during the night. When I go to work during the day, if a plane flies over I remember the dream. But, every time a plane flies over I don’t flinch.

“Thoughts are the same way. It’s when we focus on them that they become valued. Nothing has happened before a shot is struck. Negative thoughts arise when we try to write the outcome of the story before the ending.

Before we hit a shot we don’t know if the result will be good or bad. A situation is only a negative if you choose to look at it through that lense.”

Phil Burwell – Mid-American Conference

Mid-American Conference commisioner Jon Steinbrecher speaks at MAC media day Wednesday at Ford Field in Detroit.

MID-AMERICAN CONFERENCE MEDIA DAY

MAC bracing for more power going to major conferences

By STEVE NITZ snitz@shawmedia.com DETROIT – Soon, there should be a change in the landscape in terms of NCAA governance.

The projected upcoming change will likely give the five power conferences autonomy when it comes to voting legislation on numerous issues.

Mid-American Conference commisioner Jon Steinbrecher realizes that change is coming, and at Wednesday’s MAC football media day, he said he expects the vote to pass in August.

“Clearly an area of legislative autonomy has been carved out for five conferences. This provides them with the ability to enact permissive legislation for all of Division I, focused primarily in the area of student-athlete well-being,” Steinbrecher said. “We are headed toward the redefinition of a grant-and-aid, so it may include the full cost of attendance.”

Steinbrecher said that while he’s supportive of the full cost of attendance, he does not support paying stu-

letes devote to their sports.

“I am not sure we’ve done a very good job of enforcing The Mid-American Conference the existing 20-hour rule.

Lemon close to returning: Northern Illinois linebacker Rasheen Lemon, who was suspended indefinitely in September, could be back on the team in time for the first practice of the season Aug. 2, NIU head coach Rod Carey said Wednesday. Carey said Lemon was suspended because an academic issue, but is close to returning. The coach sounded hopeful he’ll be back in time for fall camp.

“Any time a guy runs into an issue with graduation and academics, we take that so seriously that we’re going to make sure that that’s right,” Carey said. “He’s getting closer.”

Lemon started the first two games at outside linebacker last season.

Palmer enters camp as No. 2 QB ahead of Clausen

By KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@chicagofootball.com BOURBONNAIS – One year ago in the same room we sat in Wednesday at Olivet Nazarene University, Phil Emery put his trust in Josh McCown to be the Bears’ backup quarterback.

At the opening news conference for the 2014 training camp, Phil Emery and Marc Trestman talked at length about the two veterans vying to be this year’s McCown, Jordan Palmer and Jimmy Clausen.

Despite the heavy praise Emery had for Clausen, whose workout with the Bears was “as good a quarterback workout that we’ve seen since I’ve been here,” Palmer still has the first shot to be Jay Cutler’s backup.

“There’s three guys there up for the No. 2, but it’s going to start with Jordan and we feel really good about Jimmy and we felt really good about

David [Fales]’ performance as well,” Trestman said. “We’re going to give Jordan the first shot, he’s been here the longest. Jimmy Clausen has the most experience so we’re going to work him in there.

We’re going to continue to provide David with opportunity throughout camp to play and perform not only in practice, but in the games.”

Emery was impressed with the progress he saw from Clausen after shoulder surgery in September.

“I think he grew from a leadership perspective. I think his focus grew. He always

showed me he could be creative and make some plays on his own,” Emery said. “I don’t think mobility is his biggest asset, but I definitely saw a player that knows how to get out of the way and get the ball off in time, and a mentally tough player that will take a hit to deliver the ball with accuracy and precision.

“I really like how he came in here. He’s got a little chip on his shoulder right now. He wants to re-prove himself or prove himself and he’s very focused.”

Emery said that Clausen reached out to Cutler and the two of them spent a weekend working on the playbook, helping get Clausen through minicamp and sticking with the roster for Bourbonnais.

The issue for every team’s competition at backup quarterback – always a weird battle on a team like the Bears, when the winner of the No. 2 job ideally will only take a snap if

Cutler gets hurt – is reps.

“It’s going to be interesting.

There’s not going to be a lot of reps for them,” Cutler said. “I think a lot of it is going to play out in the preseason games, because I’m going to get a lot of the reps in camp.

“Jordan, he’s been around a long time, his older brother, he’s been able to watch him a lot. Jimmy, he’s played in big games at Notre Dame and kinda got the pedigree. He’s a high-round pick, he was in a tough position in Carolina.

“They’re both very hungry, they’ve both worked extremely hard this offseason putting in the time mentally, which is probably more important for them right now, just trying to figure out the playbook so they can go to the line of scrimmage and be fluent in what they want to do. We’ll see how it goes.”

Former Sycamore resident shooting short film, ‘Broiled,’ in Genoa, Malta

lthough she only spent one year living in Sycamore, Megan St. John would later find that the rural areas surrounding the town would be the perfect setting for a film.

St. John, founder and executive producer of Third Wheel Entertainment, is shooting the short film “Broiled” in the Genoa and Malta areas this summer. St. John lived in Sycamore in 2003, but found herself returning this year to tell the story of “Broiled,” two girls and two boys who somehow rob the town bank on the same day. A love story and a few dark twists ensue before the end of the film. St. John said the northern Illinois area is the perfect place for her characters to exist.

“I grew up in Montana and always had a fondness for a rural, open setting,” St. John said. “When I lived in Sycamore for a year, I thought it was beautiful. When I was writing the script I had cornfields in mind and thought this would be the perfect place.”

St. John said the film will be on the

longer end of a short film, probably 30 minutes when complete. She said she hopes to have the movie finished and ready to enter for film festivals by the end of September. She wants to someday have local screenings of the film, especially for those who have helped out.

“Everybody has been so great and friendly to work with,” she said. “It’s tricky to ask people if you can film in their house, but we found two farmhouses next door to each other in Malta and one farmhouse in Genoa.”

Betty Bloyd, one of the Malta farmhouse homeowners, said her home has a Malta address but is really just out in the middle of cornfields, five miles north of Creston.

She said St. John picked out her house by accident.

“Since the road is under construction, [St. John] took a detour,” Bloyd said. “I was working out in the garden with my grand-

daughter and we’ve been teaching [my granddaughter] colors. So she points at the car and waves at it. Then the car drives by again and I think uh oh, she’s lost.”

St. John stopped for directions and liked Bloyd’s home and yard. Filming was done in the yard, including a church picnic scene, and filming will be done in the home, as well. Bloyd invited people over to serve as extras for the scene.

“I can’t put it better than the kids did,” Bloyd said. “You realize how long it takes to do things over and over to get it right.

It’s hard work.”

St. John said they have also filmed at Jay’s Drive In Diner in Oregon and the Moon Dance Diner in Maple Park. They have filmed almost every weekend in July and will continue to film in the area for a short time in August.

St. John was excited to bring on three Northern Illinois University media studies students to help with the project.

“My professor shot me an email to tell me about it,” said NIU senior Nick Arcade.

“I’ve definitely learned that there’s a lot that goes into a film in general. There’s a lot that goes into a set. It’s been a good experience.”

Review: ‘Lucy’ won’t stretch your brain capacity

By JOCELYN NOVECK The Associated Press So let’s start with the enticing premise of Luc Besson’s “Lucy,” starring Scarlett Johansson: Human beings only use 10 percent of their brain capacity. Imagine what it would be like if we could access all of it?

Well, wow. It would be sort of like ... nothing new. Because, it turns out, in real life, humans pretty much DO use their whole brains.

DARN! Now, we could choose to be annoyed that Besson starts with a total myth. Or we could give him a pass – because, hey, the movie is fiction anyway. The more relevant question, though, is how much of your own brain you should use when watching “Lucy” – a truly bizarre if often entertaining romp through, hmm, well, neuroscience, biochemistry, anthropology and basically the entire human experience, in 90 minutes. (Oh, plus a really cool car chase.)

And here’s another question: Just how much of his brain did Besson access when writing the dialogue? (That may sound nasty, but Mr. Besson, you’re the one who got us thinking about cerebral capacity.) The director knows his way around a camera, and you can argue about the merits of the storyline.

But the dialogue often sounds like it was produced by a primitive computer: Hammy and clunky.

As for the name “Lucy,” it refers to the famous fossilized skeleton of a female estimated to have lived

AP photo

Morgan Freeman and Scarlett Johansson are pictured in a scene from “Lucy.” about 3 million years ago. Thank goodness that primitive woman has now evolved – into a bleached blonde, airheaded student of some sort, living in Taiwan. That’s where we meet Johansson’s Lucy, who at least seems more mature than her jerk of a boyfriend, who forces her to deliver a mysterious briefcase to a shady gang boss.

Turns out, it’s a drug delivery – a shiny blue crystal called cph4. Lucy

and a few other unfortunates are the chosen mules, doomed to fly to Europe with packages implanted in their stomachs. Only, there’s a hitch. Roughed up by thugs, Lucy suffers blows to the abdomen, and the drug starts leaking into her system. Suddenly, she’s writhing uncontrollably – on the ceiling, no less.

And then things get really weird.

The drug’s effect is to enhance

Lucy’s brain capacity. As it starts to climb – 20 percent, 30 percent, and so on – Lucy can suddenly speak Chinese. She can shoot six guys at a time. She can hear and see and feel – everything. She remembers being an infant. She calls her mother back home: “I remember the taste of your milk in my mouth,” she says, tearfully.

Because she’s becoming so smart – Lucy uses two laptops at

a time, furiously unlocking the secrets of science – she knows her condition gives her only 24 hours to live. Here’s where you shouldn’t get bogged down attempting logical analysis. As in, if Lucy can control movement and space and time, why can’t she expand the 24 hours? And really, why does she need to fly commercial to Paris?

Oh yes, Paris. Lucy heads there to meet Professor Norman, an expert on cerebral capacity (Morgan Freeman, in that gravelly voiced, level-headed role you’ve seen him play so many times). Simultaneously, she’s trying to recover all the drug packets, with the help of a police detective (Amr Waked) who really doesn’t know what hit him, but they do have an awesome car chase together. Professor Norman advises Lucy that, as she approaches 100 percent capacity – and death – she should do something useful with all the precious knowledge she’s acquiring.

And we really didn’t want to say this again, but: This is where it gets REALLY weird.

We won’t give away the frantic ending, and we’re not sure we could, even if we tried. At a certain point, the best strategy may be to just sit back, listen to the pounding music, admire those bright colors, and just shut that brain down entirely.

“Lucy,” a Universal Studios release, is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America “for strong violence, disturbing images, and sexuality.” Running time: 90 minutes. Two stars out of four.

Review: Allen casts a limp spell in ‘Magic in the Moonlight’

By JAKE COYLE The Associated Press Woody Allen’s late period has been defined by a quality you wouldn’t have expected from the man who produced the inspired chaos of “Bananas” or the Felliniesque carnival of “Stardust Memories”: tidiness.

For years now, Allen’s films have been light farces (“Midnight in Paris,” ‘’Vicky Cristina Barcelona”) or neatly structured parables (“Match Point,” ‘’Blue Jasmine”).

They breeze in innocuously in the summer, promising pleasant entertainment and not much more.

“Like drinking lemonade” is how Allen has described his escapist aims for his movies. His “Magic in the Moonlight,” a romantic comedy bathed in the sunset glow of the French Riviera and starring two of the more effervescent faces in movies – Colin Firth and Emma Stone – is, no doubt, sweetly sugary – if ultimately flat – stuff.

The film begins in 1928 Berlin with the chaotic backstage life of a haughty, grouchy Chinese illusionist, Wei Ling Soo, played by the

AP photo

Emma Stone plays Sophie and Colin Firth plays Stanley in “Magic in the Moonlight,” directed by Woody Allen. magician Stanley Crawford (Firth).

It’s a promising start: Here is Firth, in regal, oriental garb and long mustache, disparaging autographs as “for mental defectives.”

More of this, and “Magic in the Moonlight” could have been a very funny movie. But Wei Ling Soo doesn’t again perform, and instead the rest of the film feels oddly

missing the jokes it seems built to convey. Crawford – a self-described “rational man” who believes in his art, not in actual magic – sets off to the South of France to unmask a medium, Sophie Baker (Stone), gaining renown for her prescient “mental impressions.”

They meet at the sumptuous Cote d’Azur home of the Catledge family, whose rich bachelor Brice (Hamish Linklater) swoons unapologetically for Sophie. A dance of distrust begins between the cocksure Crawford and the lithe, charming Sophie across a vivid, widescreen backdrop of cars, clothes and coastline.

Crawford, whose fiancée hasn’t joined him on the trip, is both supremely confident in his realistic worldview (Nietzsche, he says, resolved “the God problem rather convincingly”) and abundantly unhappy. Audiences will surely see where the film is going as it sets up a quite rigidly explored dichotomy between blithe believing and scientific certainty.

It’s an argument for illusion in our lives, no matter how fraudulent; for love, no matter how illogical.

“Magic in the Moonlight” is a disbeliever’s earnest plea to believe.

These are, of course, ideas Allen has long explored, and “Magic in the Moonlight” often feels like the kind of tidy New Yorker humor story the filmmaker might pen. Even with bright performances and lively chemistry between Stone and Firth, the movie is stale with the fixed rhythm of the written word, not alive to its images, despite the rich setting. (A quick aside: Is it possible to not have good on-screen chemistry with Stone? From Ryan Gosling to Spider-Man, she bewitches everyone.)

Allen is in complete control of the film, both its comic pacing and its philosophical quandary. But perhaps that’s the problem: Like Crawford, “Magic in the Moonlight” needs to be less in control of itself.

The film doesn’t believe in magic enough.

“Magic in the Moonlight,” a Sony Pictures Classics release, is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for “a brief suggestive comment, and smoking throughout.”

Running time: 100 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four.

Performances to fund repairs at opera house Tickets for this weekend’s patriotic production of “We the People” are still available for purchase. Proceeds will go to fund seat repairs at the historic Sandwich Opera House.

Built in 1878, the Sandwich Opera House has served as a community center and an entertainment venue. During World War II, the opera house was abandoned and did not open until a major restoration was completed in 1986. The Sandwich Opera House is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The cost to repair one seat is $100, for a total cost of $31,000. The opera house is still in need of raising more than $7,500.

Performance times are 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday. Tickets cost $10 and can be ordered online at www.indianvalleytheatre.com.

Published by Pioneer Drama, “We the Peo-

ple” begins as a committee discusses putting on a patriotic show for their town. Through a series of sketches organized phrase by phrase from the Preamble of the Constitution, they show not only how the Constitution applies to the past, but also to the present and future.

Everyday life is showcased in both funny and poignant vignettes, offering a variety of moods as it explores the deeper meanings of the language of the Constitution.

This educational and inspirational show will leave audiences with a better understanding of the founding of America as they appreciate what makes this country unique and great.

“We the People” is sponsored by Bob Wright, State Farm Insurance of Sandwich.

Bread & Roses chorus performs at festival Members of Bread & Roses, the DeKalb area women’s chorus celebrating its 20th year of community involvement and love of music and singing, will participate in this summer’s Sister Singers Network Festival this weekend in Champaign-Urbana.

Chorus members, including more than 15 women from DeKalb and Sycamore, will attend workshops and lessons and hear other composers, directors and choruses present and perform. On Friday, the group will perform a concert of music selected from their spring concert program for the more than 400 women in attendance. On Saturday, two public mass chorus performances are scheduled featuring all of the women attending.

Bread & Roses’ trip to the festival was supported with donations received during their fall 2013 and spring 2014 concerts.

Peggy Safford of Sycamore has been director of Bread & Roses for 20 years. She said the group

participated in a SSN Festival in 2001, and she hopes the current members will be inspired by this year’s festival.

“The opportunity to listen to a wide variety of choruses and musical styles all in one place is priceless. We will take note of what other groups are singing, what they are wearing, and how they present themselves,” she said in a news release. “The workshops offer a mix of topics from self-publishing to using your voice better to how to govern your chorus. We will come away from this experience with a renewed excitement in our own chorus and our own music as well as lots of ideas for new pieces to perform.”

Bread & Roses will perform two concerts in the coming year. The fall concert, to be held Nov. 16, will include seasonal songs and feature guest performer Jen Jencks Conley. Conley is a wellknown singer and songwriter whose voice has been described as pure and lyrical. Her music is heartfelt and soulful, and her talents are used for healing and reaching out to others.

The group’s spring concert, to be held April 26, will celebrate their 20 years together and will include some of their favorites selected from all the pieces they’ve learned over the years. It will be followed by a reception for their audience, supporters and former members.

Bread & Roses concerts and Sunday evening rehearsals (5:45 to 8 p.m.) are held at Westminster Presbyterian Church, 830 N. Annie Glidden Road in DeKalb. Area women who are interested in singing with the group are invited to open rehearsals on Aug. 24 and 31.

Guest howls over dog’s wedding attendance Dear Abby: Is it acceptable to bring a teacup-sized dog to a wedding? The excuse was, “Well, the wedding was at the beach.” The pre-dinner and dancing were inside a highend resort on the beach. The dog was taken inside these establishments.

After a guest – a family member of the dog’s owner – asked the owner to remove the animal because the occasion was not about her and her dog but the bride and groom’s day, the owner put the dog in a carrying case and the dog returned to the wedding for the rest of the night.

Only this one couple made an issue of it and they weren’t in the wedding party, but rela-

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips tions of the dog owner. What do you think? – Doggone Disgusted Dear Doggone Disgusted: The rule of etiquette states that nothing should distract attention from the happy couple – and especially the bride – at the wedding. However, IF the dog owner had first asked for and received permission to bring the animal to the festivities, then it wasn’t rude and the relatives of the dog owner were wrong to intervene.

Dear Abby: We were recent-

ly at dinner with longtime friends whose political views are different from ours. I believe in the rule of etiquette about avoiding the topics of politics and religion in mixed company. Well, somehow the conversation turned political. Voices were raised and I stood up and ended it.

There are now many hurt feelings with the parties involved still disagreeing about what happened and how it was handled. I know my actions were extreme, but things were out of control and I was upset.

How do I deal with this if we are invited to future events? – Keeping The Peace Dear Keeping The Peace: You may be worrying needlessly,

because you may not be invited to future events – at least until the next election is over.

Whatever your friends were arguing about, while you had a right to speak up and say it was making you uncomfortable, because your reaction was “extreme,” you may have been as rude as the others. If you caused hurt feelings that evening, you should apologize, if you haven’t already.

Dear Abby: A sibling died recently and I have received numerous sympathy messages in the form of cards, gifts and online posts. Do the people who send them typically expect a response? I feel a little overwhelmed with the amount of attention, and I worry that

they’ll think I’m not appreciative if I don’t respond in kind.

What is your advice? – Grieving But Grateful

Dear Grieving But Grateful: Their kindness should be acknowledged. To those who sent gifts and cards, a short note saying how much their support meant during this difficult time would be a gracious response. The online condolences could be handled with one email “blast” conveying the same thing, which shouldn’t be offensive to those who sent their sympathy that way.

Optical and computer aids help poor vision Dear Dr. K: I have poor vision that is making it more and more difficult for me to live independently. Are there tools that can help with my day-to-day activities?

Dear Reader: Like you, some of my patients have poor vision, which limits their ability to perform activities such as reading a newspaper, using a computer, watching television, cooking a meal or crossing the street. For some, poor vision means poor central vision. For others, it is blurry vision, loss of peripheral vision or even double vision. But however your vision is affected, there are ways to cope: • Optical aids. The magnifying lens remains one of the

ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff most common tools to help compensate for poor vision.

Most magnifying lenses are made to be held, but some can be incorporated into the lens of a pair of prescription glasses and used for reading or detail work.

Special lenses that work like miniature telescopes can be mounted on a pair of glasses and used for driving or watching a movie. And glasses with special filters may help with excessive glare or reduced contrast (less distinction between light and dark).

• Computer aids. Software programs can make the text on a computer monitor larger or more legible by allowing you to change font size and background displays. Specialized text-to-speech conversion programs read text aloud, while speech-recognition software converts speech to text. Special keyboards, magnifiers for monitors and other devices are also available.

In the late 1990s, a patient of mine developed a condition that caused his vision to worsen. He was a writer, and he felt that his career would end when his eyesight failed.

“How can I read? How can I even read what I write?” he asked me. A self-styled “oldfashioned” guy, he wrote on a

typewriter.

Switching to a computer made a huge difference. He started writing on one, using a large font size. He found someone to scan books and documents, and then used the computer to enlarge the text of the scanned documents. As e-books became common a few years later, it became even easier to read everything he needed to. If his eyesight worsens further, text-to-speech conversion will help him read by listening. And voice-recognition technology will allow him to write by talking.

• Other aids. Electronic “talking” watches, alarm clocks and calculators let you rely on your hearing rather than your vision. Listening to

audiobooks is another popular option.

A simple desk lamp with a metal shade is one of the easiest ways to improve vision if you use it properly. Position the lamp so that the light shines directly onto the materials in front of you, rather than over your shoulder or high above you.

Other inexpensive, lowtech vision aids include large-print versions of playing cards and bingo cards, and push-button telephone and cellphone pads. And, of course, many books and newspapers come in largeprint versions.

Student needs to stop feeling sorry for himself Dr. Wallace: I’m 16 and was attending a new high school this year because I got into a fight at my old school.

The girl I fought with was expelled because she told a teacher that she was going to kill me.

My parents had me transferred to the new school because they were afraid for my safety at my previous school. I hated my new school this year. The kids are stuck-up and are not friendly.

forms of cocaine. Next, crack is usually mixed with tobacco or marijuana and smoked.

Smoking crack allows high doses of cocaine to reach the brain almost instantly, producing the most dramatic cocaine high. This rapid “high” is followed by a deep “low” that leaves the user craving more. As a result, crack can be rapidly addicting.

Besides addiction, crack can cause medical problems and even death. The powerful craving for crack cocaine makes it very difficult for the user to break the habit alone.

A bridge deal is often not like a play, because it is the length (of a suit) that matters.

In this example, how should South plan the play in four hearts after West leads the club queen?

South, with two aces and 11 points, was right to open one heart, not two hearts. North’s jump to four hearts was aggressive. A game-invitational three hearts would have been normal. But South would surely have passed and ruined the play ... er, column.

South starts with four losers: one spade, one diamond and two clubs. He has nine winners: six hearts, two diamonds and one club. His only realistic chance is to establish dummy’s spade suit. For that, he needs to find the spades splitting 4-3 and to have four dummy entries: three for spade ruffs in his hand and one to get back to the dummy (after drawing trumps) to cash the 13th spade.

South must act immediately, winning the first trick with his club ace and leading his spade.

Let’s assume East takes the trick, cashes his club king, and plays his last club. West wins and shifts to a diamond.

Declarer wins in the dummy, ruffs a spade, plays a low heart to dummy’s 10, ruffs a spade high, leads another trump to dummy’s king, ruffs a third spade, and cashes the heart ace. When everything passes off perfectly, South leads a diamond to dummy and cashes the remaining spade, discarding his last diamond. Excellent!
