RAISING SUICIDE AWARENESS

Board gives 1st OK to budget $3.46M in red By KATIE DAHLSTROM kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com

Brett and Laura Bartosik lost their 20-year-old son, Seth Bartosik, to suicide in June. The Bartosiks and Seth’s friends have put together a weekend scavenger hunt. The money raised will be donated to a culinary student or hockey player in need. The Bartosiks will match the amount raised and donate to Suicide Prevention Services.

Honoring a ‘Sethtastic’ life Scavenger hunt set for this weekend to remember Cortland man Story by Katie Dahlstrom – kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com • Photos by Monica Maschak – mmaschak@shawmedia.com DeKALB – As Laura and Brett Bartosik struggled with their 20-year-old son’s suicide, a friend suggested holding a scavenger hunt that would bring people together to celebrate his life. The Cortland couple jumped at the chance to try to turn their pain into hope. To honor Seth Bartosik, a Cortland resident who took his own life June 26, friends and family are hosting the inaugural Sethtastic Scavenger Hunt spanning from Friday to Sunday. Participants will chase clues, talk to strangers and – in Seth’s spirit – be adventurous. Before Seth Bartosik died, friend Kyle Segura had been toying with the idea of having a scavenger hunt similar to one their group of friends held to celebrate graduating from DeKalb High School in 2012. “I wanted everybody to be together, not in sadness, but being happy and having fun,” Segura said.

Segura posed the scavenger hunt idea to Brett and Laura Bartosik during a story night at their house where more than a dozen of Seth Bartosik’s friends gathered to share their memories. “It’s something we knew Seth had enjoyed and we wanted to be a part of it,” said Laura Bartosik, 43. “We want the kids in our lives because Seth always called his friends his family. So we want to be part of that family even if Seth isn’t here.” The money raised through the scavenger hunt will be donated to a culinary student or hockey player in need. The Bartosiks will match whatever is raised to donate to Suicide Prevention Services. People also can make donations through their gofundme.com site, which can be found by searching the inaugural Sethtastic scavenger hunt.

DeKALB – DeKalb District 428 is preparing to have a nearly $3.5 million operating deficit in the coming school year, but that could change with some action from the state. During the school board meeting Tuesday, school board members gave their first nod to a tentative $76.7 million financial plan, although Assistant Superintendent of Business and Finance Andrea Gorla stressed the budget figures can change. “They’re projections and estimates, but to the best of our ability from the information we received from the state and federal government,” Gorla said. In total, District 428’s budget includes close to $73.3 million in operating revenue and $76.7 million in operating expenditures. Board

members will take a final vote on the budget in September. Of the district’s deficit, $1.1 million stems from projects the district will fund using some of its $21 million construction grant. Absent these one-time expenses, the district’s actual operating deficit is nearly $2.4 million. The deficit would be entirely wiped out, Gorla explained, if state officials funded general state aid at 100 percent. The state last year gave districts 88.7 percent of general state aid, the funding the state provides to offset the district’s basic $6,119 cost per student. This year, District 428 officials have set their budget presuming the district will receive 85 percent of general state aid, or about $14.2 million. Every 1 percent of general state aid equals $167,000 for the district.

The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Threeterm Republican Sen. Pat Roberts maintained a double-digit lead over tea party favorite Milton Wolf in Kansas’ primary Tuesday night in the latest contest pitting mainstream conservatives against the upstart movement. A first-term Michigan GOP congressman lost his bid for re-election. With 13 percent of the precincts reporting, Roberts held a 50 percent to 38 percent edge over Wolf, a radiologist and distant cousin of President Barack Obama. The GOP establishment blames the tea party for costing it Senate control in 2010 and 2012 as outside candidates stumbled in the general election. Republicans need to net six seats to regain the Senate, and the party has taken no chances this election cycle, putting its full force behind incumbents and main-

stream candidates. Tuesday also offered competitive primaries in Michigan, Missouri and Washington state. Businessman Dave Trott easily defeated Rep. Kerry Bentivolio, 66 to 34 percent, in Michigan’s 11th Congressional District, a reversal of the recent political order of tea partyers aiming to knock out an establishment favorite. Bentivolio was often described as the “accidental” congressman, as he was elected in 2012 when former Rep. Thaddeus McCotter turned in fraudulent voter signatures for a ballot spot. Bentivolio is the third House incumbent to lose in the primary, joining Republican Reps. Eric Cantor of Virginia and Ralph Hall of Texas on the House casualty list. Two-term Rep. Tim Huelskamp, a Republican who has frustrated GOP leadership and his rural constituents over his votes against the farm bill, was locked in

a close race with Alan LaPolice, a farmer and educator. Huelskamp held a 53 percent to 47 percent lead with 18 percent of precincts reporting. The four-state primary day launches a crowded stretch with Tennessee on Thursday, Hawaii on Saturday and Connecticut, Minnesota and Wisconsin next week. By month’s end, voters will decide the Republican Senate nominee in a competitive race against Sen. Mark Begich in Alaska and the Democratic primary between Hawaii Sen. Brian Schatz and Rep. Colleen Hanabusa. So far this year, the Senate’s establishment is on a roll, with incumbents already prevailing in Texas, Kentucky, South Carolina and Mississippi, though it took six-term Sen. Thad Cochran two tries before defeating Chris McDaniel, who is challenging the outcome. Kansas, famous for sending moderate Republicans to Congress, holds Tuesday’s

marquee contest. The 78-year-old Roberts, a conservative, has moved even farther right as he’s faced a tough re-election. The senator, who backed the nomination of former Gov. Kathleen Sebelius to be secretary of Health and Human Services, was one of the first to call for her resignation after the disastrous launch of the health care website last October. Roberts also voted against a U.N. treaty on the rights of the disabled in December 2012 despite the appeals of former Kansas Sen. Bob Dole, who sat in a wheelchair in the well of the Senate. Wolf argues that Roberts has spent too much time in Washington, owning a home in the nation’s capital while merely renting in Kansas. Roberts didn’t help his cause when he told a radio interviewer last month: “Every time I get an opponent – uh, I mean, every time I get a chance – I’m home.”

This image provided by the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum in Springfield shows what historical experts say is Abraham Lincoln’s handwriting they’ve found inside a tattered book justifying racism that he may have read to better understand his opponents’ thinking on slavery. “Types of Mankind” was published in 1854 and circulated for decades by the Vespasian Warner Public Library in Clinton. for their way of life. The authors suggested that Africans and Native Americans were fundamentally different from Caucasians, and enslaving them was part of the natural order. Like so many other supposed Lincoln artifacts discovered in places the former president frequented, the authenticity of the inscription remained in question for years, until a new library director decided to have it inspected by experts at the state historical museum this sum-

mer. “We didn’t know whether we should take it seriously,” Vespasian Warner Public Library Assistant Director Bobbi Perryman said. But shortly after the 700page book arrived at the Lincoln Library and Museum, Cornelius made a swift assessment by looking at handwriting and spacing between letters, one that was quickly backed up by other experts on staff, as well as an outside expert the museum asked to inspect the book.

“There are certain letters of the alphabet that Lincoln wrote in a way that were not common to his era,” Cornelius said, referencing Lincoln’s style of writing E’s and N’s. “A forger can typically do some of the letters in a good Lincolnian way. They’ll give themselves away on a couple of the others. This all adds up.” “Types of Mankind” was published in 1854 and circulated for decades by the Vespasian Warner Library in Clinton, about 50 miles northeast of the state Capitol in Springfield. Local attorney Clifton Moore, a colleague of Lincoln’s, had donated thousands of books to the system, which formed the basis of the library’s circulating collection when it opened in the early 1900s. The inscription inside “Types of Mankind” doesn’t bear Lincoln’s signature – but a note in his handwriting on one of the first pages states that the copy rightfully belongs to Moore. Below that inscription is an attestation by another local attorney noting that Lincoln wrote inside the book in 1861, just before he left for Washington after being elected president. Perryman said the library doesn’t know exactly when the book was retired from circulation – only that it suffered significant wear and tear from being borrowed for so many years.

Lincoln’s handwriting found on book about race SPRINGFIELD – For years, librarians at a small central Illinois library gossiped that a tattered book lying on one of its shelves justifying racism may have been in the hands of none other than Abraham Lincoln, the Great Emancipator. On Tuesday, state historians confirmed that theory by announcing Lincoln’s handwriting had been found inside the cover of the 700-page text, at the same time taking great pains to offer reassurance that the former president who ended slavery didn’t subscribe to the theories at hand, but likely read the book to better educate himself about his opponents’ line of thinking. “Lincoln was worried that the whole idea that you could segregate one group of people based on some brand new thinking would just carry on into other realms,” Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum Curator James Cornelius Tuesday said of Lincoln. “He could foresee the whole country coming apart over the issue that different people could be barred from different things based on different qualities.” “Types of Mankind” makes a case that different races were formed at different times and places and thus can’t be equals. It was seized upon by slave owners during the Civil War era as support

DeKalb drug bust nets 11 pounds of marijuana

Salvation Army passes out backpacks By JESSI HAISH

jhaish@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Although Michelle Graham was nervous for her first back-to-school supply drive, she thought it was a success in helping out her new community. Graham and her husband, Keith, started as the DeKalb Salvation Army’s pastors and officers in DeKalb on June 25, and Michelle Graham said Tuesday was her first time coordinating a school supply drive. She said 258 DeKalb County families registered to pick up backpacks filled with school supplies from the Salvation Army, donated by local businesses, churches and other organizations. She said she was surprised by the good turnout, as registration had just opened last month. “It’s good that we can help them with the basic school supplies,” she said. “Families may not be able to afford them, and if we can knock some items off their list, then maybe they can

Travis Catalina, Salva-

SYCAMORE – A complaint about illegal trash dumping led police to Mateusz Sirant’s DeKalb home, where police said they found 50 marijuana plants and more than 11 pounds of marijuana. Sirant, 25, of the 300 block of South Fifth Street, was arrested Sunday morning, hours after police received Mateusz a complaint Sirant about trash bags of plant material being illegally dumped in a garbage bin at a multi-unit apartment building, DeKalb police said in a news release. When police searched the home Sirant was renting, they found

Recipients of backpacks could also add crayons and other items to their bags if they had a child in kindergarten. “Things have turned out really well,” he said. “It’s always nice to help.” Michelle Graham said work will begin in early spring to begin preparing for next year’s drive. “I think now that we have it under our belt, we know what we’re doing,” Michelle Graham said. “We’re very happy with the turnout.”

a marijuana-growing operation in the basement, DeKalb Sgt. Steve Lekkas said. Sirant was charged with unlawful possession of marijuana with intent to deliver, unlawful possession and production of marijuana, and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia, the news release states. The most serious charge, unlawful possession of marijuana with intent to deliver, typically is punishable with between six and 30 years in prison. Sirant remained in DeKalb County jail Tuesday, unable to post 10 percent of his $100,000 bond. He is next due in court Friday. Meanwhile, DeKalb police are continuing their investigation. “With that quantity, we do try to track down where it’s ending up as well,” Lekkas said.

Voters can apply for absentee voting starting today By JESSI HAISH jhaish@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – Registered voters can begin applying to vote by mail starting today. The vote-by-mail option, also called absentee voting, is for those voters who will be unable to vote at their polling location on Election Day, Nov. 4. Voters can apply for the mail option by finding the absentee application on the DeKalb County government’s election information website, or by visiting the county clerk and recorder’s office at 110 E. Sycamore St. in Sycamore. “The majority of people who do it are snowbirds who go down south for winter,” said Mary Lynn Meisch, DeKalb County chief deputy of elections. “Others work in another

Sycamore man in crash Friday dies By ANDREA AZZO aazzo@shawmedia.com

and LAWERENCE SYNETT lsynett@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – The 22-yearold Sycamore man who recently died after a motorcycle crash was remembered Tuesday as a natural racer. David Larson, owner of S&V Solutions in Sycamore, said 22-year-old John Beach was a skilled worker who welded and worked on projects for him. Beach used to ride the black and red motorcycle he built himself on S&V Solutions’ dirt track. “The kid was a natural,” Larson said. “You just couldn’t touch him on the dirt track. He’d beat guys who have been riding for 20 years.” Beach was pronounced dead

by the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Officer about 2:50 a.m. Sunday, two days after a motorcycle crash, according to a Kane County Sheriff’s Office news release. The crash is under investigation. Kane County sheriff’s deputies and Hampshire police responded to Allen Road east of Walker Road, which is northwest of Hampshire, about 1:50 a.m. Friday for a report of two motorcycles involved in a crash. Beach and Benjamin Fletcher, 26, of Elgin, were flown from Presence St. Joseph Hospital in Elgin to Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge after the crash. Authorities believe the men were traveling together; neither man was wearing a helmet. Fletcher was charged with

two counts of driving under the influence of alcohol and operating an uninsured vehicle. Larson was shocked at the news of Beach’s death considering his skill in riding motorcycles. Beach’s 22nd birthday was Thursday. “He was trying to figure out what to do in life,” Larson said. “He had a career offer for professional welding and was about to take a test for an operator’s union. He had a lot of things on his plate and all sorts of opportunities.” Larson said it will be difficult to replace Beach, a multitalented carpenter and welder who was “full of life.” “A lot of us old guys are wringing our hands over this loss,” said Larson, who is 59 years old. “We’re sorely going to miss him.”

Israel, Hamas to negotiate new Gaza deal The ASSOCIATED PRESS GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip – The outlines of a solution for battered, blockaded Gaza are emerging after Tuesday’s tentative Israel-Hamas ceasefire: Norway is organizing a donor conference, and Western-backed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas aims to oversee rebuilding and reassert his authority in the territory, lost to Hamas in 2007. Forces loyal to Abbas would be deployed at Gaza’s crossings to encourage Israel and Egypt to lift the closure they imposed after the Hamas takeover. Indirect Israel-Hamas talks in Cairo are to tackle the details. The hope is that promises of a better life for Gazans will coax compromise and avert what had been looking like a fight to the finish. The gaps remain wide, especially between Israel and Hamas.

Afghanistan National Army soldiers stand guard Tuesday at a gate of Camp Qargha, west of Kabul, Afghanistan. A man dressed in an Afghan army uniform opened fire Tuesday on foreign troops at a military base, causing casualties, an Afghan military spokesman said.

Afghan soldier kills U.S. general, wounds about 15 The ASSOCIATED PRESS KABUL, Afghanistan – An American major general was shot to death Tuesday in one of the bloodiest insider attacks of the long Afghanistan war when a gunman dressed as an Afghan soldier turned on allied troops, wounding about 15 including a German general and two Afghan generals. The American officer was Maj. Gen. Harold Greene, a U.S. official said. An engineer by training, Greene was on his first deployment to a war zone and was involved in preparing Afghan forces for the time when U.S.-coalition troops leave at the end of this year. He was the deputy commanding general, Combined Security Transition Command-Afghanistan. Greene was the highest-ranked American officer killed in combat in the nation’s post-9/11 wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the highest-ranked officer killed in combat since 1970 in the Vietnam War. Five major generals were killed in Vietnam, the last Maj. Gen. John Albert Dillard whose helicopter was shot down. The attack at Marshal Fahim National Defense University underscored the tensions that persist as the U.S. combat role winds down in Afghanistan – and it wasn’t the only assault by an Afghan ally on coalition forces on Tuesday. In eastern Paktia province, an Afghan police guard exchanged fire with NATO troops near the governor’s office, provincial police said. The guard was killed in the gunfight. It wasn’t clear if the two incidents were linked, and police said they were investigating. Early indications suggested the Afghan gunman who killed the American general was inside a building and fired indiscriminately from a window at the people gathered outside, the U.S. official said. There was no indication that Greene was specifically targeted, said the official who identified Greene. The official was not authorized to speak publicly by name about the incident and provided the information

only on condition of anonymity. The wounded included a German brigadier general and two Afghan generals, officials said. A U.S. official said that of the estimated 15 wounded, about half were Americans, several of them in serious condition. U.S. officials still asserted confidence in their partnership with the Afghan military, which appears to be holding its own against the Taliban but will soon be operating independently once most U.S.-led coalition forces leave at the end of the year. The Iraq and Afghanistan wars have taken more than 6,700 U.S. lives. Insider attacks rose sharply in 2012, with more than 60 coalition troops – mostly Americans – killed in 40-plus attacks that threatened to shatter all trust between Afghan and allied forces. U.S. commanders imposed a series of precautionary tactics, and the number of such attacks declined sharply last year. The White House said President Barack Obama was briefed on the shooting. Obama and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel both spoke with Gen. Joseph Dunford, the top U.S. general in Kabul, who said a joint U.S.-Afghan investigation was underway and who assured his bosses he still had confidence in the Afghan military. The Pentagon’s press secretary, Navy Rear Adm. John Kirby, announced that the U.S. general officer was killed in the attack but he refused to be specific about his rank, citing concern that his family had not yet been fully and officially notified. Another U.S. official said the officer was a major general. There are only a few U.S. generals in Afghanistan. Kirby said the general and other officials were on a routine visit to the military university on a base west of Kabul. Gen. Mohammad Zahir Azimi, a spokesman for Afghanistan’s Defense Ministry, said a “terrorist in an army uniform” opened fire on both local and international troops. Azimi and U.S. officials said the shooter was killed.

Israel says it has inflicted a painful blow to Hamas’ military capabilities in the monthlong fighting and wants to make sure the group cannot re-arm if border restrictions are eased. “The extent to which we are going to be ready to cooperate with the efforts to have better access and movement in Gaza will deeply depend on the kind of arrangements that would secure our peace and security,” said Yossi Kuperwasser, a senior official in Israel’s Strategic Affairs Ministry. Hamas, in turn, has signaled flexibility on ceding some authority to Abbas in Gaza, but insists on having a say on reconstruction and that it will not disarm. Izzat Rishq, a senior Hamas official, said disarming isn’t up for discussion. “We’d take the life of anyone who tries to take the weapons of resistance,” he told The Associated Press.

unity government was stumbling by the time Israel-Hamas fighting erupted on July 8. Even before the war, Gaza was in bad shape because of the prolonged blockade. Unemployment in the impoverished territory of 1.8 million people had risen well above 50 percent, in part because of Egypt’s tunnel closures. Only half of Gaza’s electricity needs were being met, and the closure prevented most Gaza residents from travel. After four weeks of intensive fighting, including close to 5,000 Israeli strikes on Gaza targets, the devastation is widespread. According to initial figures from Gaza’s main U.N. aid agency, some 10,000 homes were destroyed or damaged beyond repair. Gaza’s only power plant was forced to shut down last week after being shelled by Israel, and repairs will take months, Gaza officials said.

PUBLIC NOTICE PROPOSED ISSUANCE OF A FEDERALLY ENFORCEABLE STATE OPERATING PERMIT MONSANTO COMPANY IN WATERMAN

The 1990 amendments to the Clean Air Act require potentially major sources of air emissions to obtain federally enforceable operating permits. A FESOP permit allows a source that is potentially major to take operational limits in the permit so that it is a non-major source. The permit will contain federally enforceable limitations that restrict the facility’s emissions to nonmajor levels. The permit will be enforceable by the USEPA, as well as the Illinois EPA. adno=0275012

Despite such tough talk, Hamas is in a position of relative weakness. The Islamic militant group’s fortunes changed dramatically last year after the Egyptian military deposed a Hamas-friendly government in Cairo and began closing hundreds of smuggling tunnels under the Gaza-Egypt border. The closures deprived Hamas of a key source of revenue – the taxation of goods brought through the tunnels – and prevented weapons and cash destined for Hamas from flowing into Gaza. By this spring, Hamas was in such a severe financial crisis that it accepted a reconciliation deal with Abbas. Under that agreement, an Abbas-led government was to run both the West Bank and Gaza, however, thorny issues were put off, including Hamas’ insistence that it retain control over its security forces.

Suicide Prevention Services executive director: ‘I think they will save some lives’ • HONORING Continued from page A1 The event costs $10 a person and is open to anyone ages 18 or older. Participants have to be in teams of three or four and must record or take pictures of themselves completing some of the hundreds of activities the Bartosiks are keeping secret until the event. Registration starts at 5 p.m. Friday at a location being revealed through a series of clues on the Sethtastic Scavenger Hunt’s Facebook page. All videos must be submitted by 3 a.m. Sunday. An award ceremony will be at 3 p.m. Sunday.

Remembering Seth Seth Bartosik exuded charisma and humor, friends and family said. An only child, he rode a skateboard, played hockey, liked to cook and had a penchant for making people laugh with his quick wit, his parents remembered. He also saw the good in people, Brett Bartosik said, even if they didn’t see it themselves. “He made people find their own self-worth,” said Brett Bartosik, 45. He opened people up to new experiences, said ex-girlfriend Nicolenne Tross, 19, who is gathering the prizes and community support for the event. Seth Bartosik took Tross on her first roller coaster ride and to new restaurants, things she never would have done without him. “I can talk about him for hours, and I wouldn’t know where to start or end,” Tross said. But Seth also struggled. After graduating high school he was adamant about not going to college if he was uncertain about his future career, Laura Bartosik said. He enrolled in Elgin Community College’s culinary program in May. Although he had some personal battles, Seth’s family said his bright demeanor and plans for the future masked the emotional turmoil that preceded his death. “It’s hard to know that life can grab a hold of something and take it so easily,” Segura said. “You keep looking for the answer to the question that keeps you up at night.”

Coping with loss Searching for answers is

common among suicide survivors, said Suicide Prevention Services Executive Director Stephanie Weber. She lost her mother to suicide in 1979 and quickly connected to the Bartosiks. She let the Bartosiks know they’re not alone. Suicide is the second leading cause of death among people ages 12 to 24, Weber said. Often, young men and women don’t realize things can get better. In DeKalb County, the coroner’s office has investigated seven suicides this year; nine suicides in 2013; and 10 in 2012. Of the people who committed suicide in DeKalb County in the past three years, only 15 percent were younger than 30. Counseling and support groups help in the healing process, Weber said, and so do stories. “What survivors really want to do is hear their loved one’s name and hear a good story about that person,” Weber said. Laura and Brett Bartosik said the importance of stories from friends, videos and voice mails of Seth Bartosik has been immeasurable. Finding a voice mail of Seth making a noise like a pterodactyl – something that slightly irritated her before – was a small victory for Laura Bartosik in the past month. “You have that voice; you have that video,” Laura Bartosik said. “You need every single connection to get up in the morning sometimes.” The Bartosiks and Seth’s friends hope the scavenger hunt will bring some solace to those who knew him. But they also hope it will show young people across the area they are not alone in any of their struggles. “I think the kids should feel that and they should know the community supports them,” Laura Bartosik said. “I think they need to know that.” Brett Bartosik wants young adults and teenagers to feel they can reach out for help and have someone to talk to about any issues in their lives. The couple plans to continue with this mission after the scavenger hunt by establishing a foundation and holding different events throughout the year. For Weber, the potential impact of their efforts is clear. “I think they will save some lives,” she said.

Now, the event has grown to include multiple local businesses such as Bill Cho’s United Tae Kwon Do, which held a demonstration where members kicked wooden boards. “It’s awesome. It’s good we have this many people coming out,” McDougall said. “I think the public looks forward to it.” DeKalb officers showed some participants their police van, a former ambulance that is now used to transport inmates and carry equipment. DeKalb resident Yesenia Hernandez said her four children were shown what it was like to be arrested. They also learned about fire safety. Hernandez’s daughter, 10-year-old Audelia, learned to stay low to the ground in the case of a fire. Audelia crawled her way through the DeKalb Fire Department’s recently acquired smoky safety house. “I hope they’re learning to be safer,” Yesenia Hernandez said. “Sometimes things that are common sense to adults aren’t to little kids.” The Sycamore Fire Department was also on hand, showing children how to use a fire hose.

Bill would address disparity of how much districts spend per student • D-428 Continued from page A1 But the state could change the way it disperses general state aid under a bill that passed through the Senate earlier this year and is pending in the House, Gorla said. Senate Bill 16 would distribute financial aid from the state based on district need rather than equally across the state. The bill would address

some of the disparity between how much school districts spend per student. Gorla explained District 428 spends about $12,000 a student compared to the state average of $11,500.

8LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Water a simple, vital element

Letters to the editor

To the Editor: Not everyone would agree with my “love affair with water,” especially those who have suffered under the effects of flood damage. There is no equality in the distribution of water, the most important element for human life on Earth. The fascinating thing about water is that the Earth’s greenhouse effect has kept about the same amount of water on our planet as was here two billion years ago, but in varying amounts of its different forms (liquid, solid or gas). Too much flooding? Too much snow? It will be retained in some form. Somewhere, but not necessarily where we want it. Appreciation of water began very early for me. Clearly, I saw the tranquil beauty of bright, sparkling water racing over stony creek beds, and I treasured the magnificence of a tumbling waterfall. But more than for its beauty, I now have a profound appreciation of the ever-ready source for a drink when one is thirsty, or the rush of a cleansing shower at the turn of a faucet. In my childhood, we did not have this luxury, now considered a necessity. My mother bathed her four children in a round galvanized tub when I was a child. We fought to be first! The water had to be brought in from a rain-water cistern in the yard usually by the

He had contracted “Jungle Rot,” from wearing Army boots and socks in foxholes for weeks without bathing. He told us how fiercely the Japanese fought throughout the many battles he fought, and he said they would have never surrendered. It has been argued ever since whether it was the right thing to drop those bombs. I am not trivializing the catastrophic fact that so many innocent lives were lost. I simply don’t know if it was right. I leave that subject to the experts. In a recent obituary of the last crewman who was aboard the Enola Gay that dropped the historic bomb, it was said that “he thought he did his job.” We have so few World War II veterans remaining today (my three brothers are all gone) and their number keeps dwindling. If you see or know any veterans still alive from any of our wars, be sure to tell them, before it’s too late, how much you appreciate what they did for all of us.

If there’s an upside to the story about District 428 taxpayers potentially facing expensive increases in their property tax bills, it’s that school board members are talking about it years ahead of time. The problem is due to two factors: The years-long decline in property values brought about by the Great Recession, and the way that school officials structured debt repayment plans after voters authorized borrowing $108 million to build new schools. When the referendum was approved in 2007, officials assumed – as most people did – that property values would continue to grow. They set a 20-year repayment schedule and planned for payments on the bond debt to be flat for nine years, then begin to increase in the next 11 years. The net result is that beginFor the record ning in 2018, the owner of a home that was valued at $200,000 in 2008 School officials have would face three years of property tax increases unless changes are a couple of years to analyze the situation, made. Estimates from a district financial consultant say the annu- and they should do so al tax bill for such a homeowner, in consultation with the community. After whose home is now valued well all, it is their tax bills below $200,000, would grow by that will be affected about $600 from 2018 to 2021. by the decision. That’s not an outcome anyone wants. There are possible solutions for the problem that could lessen the burden, or delay the increase for years. Although school board members might not like the idea, they also have about $10 million leftover state grant funds – funds that initially were intended for the school building project – that they could put toward the problem as well. So which is the best path to take? School officials have a couple of years to analyze the situation, and they should do so in consultation with the community. After all, it is their tax bills that will be affected by the decision. The idea of delaying the reckoning – school officials have said they could refinance the bonds in 2017 and potentially delay the increase in repayment costs until 2025. That would leave more time for some rebound in the housing market, and potentially some major business or industrial growth that could give a boost to the local tax base. If that doesn’t materialize, though, school officials will simply be passing the problem along to their successors. School officials also will have to seriously consider whether it is fair to hold onto the excess grant funds. The argument for holding the money in reserve is that a healthy reserve will help compensate for any future pension obligations or decreased funding from the state of Illinois. Those are prudent arguments, but school board members nonetheless will have a difficult time sitting on public grant funds while residents are smacked with property tax hikes. The preferred scenario for resolving this problem would be for property values to rebound and new industrial and commercial development to take root in DeKalb. A contingency plan is needed just in case that doesn’t happen. School officials have the luxury of time in putting one together, in concert with their constituents.

Plan to eradicate poverty a failure

‘Poor door’ reflects truth we all know A few words about the “poor door.” Maybe you already know about this. Maybe you read on Slate, saw on “The Colbert Report” or heard on NPR how a developer qualified for tax benefits under New York City’s Inclusionary Housing Program by agreeing to add to its new luxury building on the Upper West Side a set number of “affordable” apartments. How the company won permission to build that building with two entrances, one in front for the exclusive use of upper-income residents, another, reportedly in the alley, for residents of more modest means. Hence, the “poor door,” though the term is something of a misnomer. While the premium units with the Hudson River views would probably strain the average budget at a reported sale price of $2,000 a square foot, the 55 “affordable” apartments overlooking the street are not exactly priced for the family from “Good Times.” We are told they are expected to draw small families earning up to $51,000 a year – not enough to contemplate putting in a bid for the Knicks, but more than enough to ensure you don’t have to squeegee windshields for pocket change. Anyway, Extell Development apparently thinks it too much to ask the well-heeled to use the same door as such relative paupers. Observers have responded with outrage. A New York Times pundit called it “odious.” CNN called it “income segregation.” The Christian Science Monitor called it “Dick-

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

VIEWS Leonard Pitts ensian.” The door is all those things, yes, but it is also the pointed symbol of a truth we all know but pretend not to, so as to preserve the fiction of an egalitarian society. Namely, that rich and poor already have different doors. The rich enter the halls of justice, finance, education, health and politics through portals of advantage from which the rest of us are barred. Politicians who send you form letters line up to kiss Sheldon Adelson’s pinky finger because he has access to that door. O.J. Simpson got away with murder because he had access to that door. Over the years, I’ve met a number of wealthy people. I have envied exactly one: Tom Cousins, the Atlanta developer who founded the East Lake Foundation, a combination social experiment and real estate development that transfigured a blighted and impoverished community, raising test scores, banishing crime, lifting incomes, changing lives. I envied him not his money, but the privilege he has had of using that money in the service of other people. What joy and satisfaction it must give to know your wealth has made a difference in the world.

The “poor door” reflects a different ideal. Unfortunately, this is the same ideal one too frequently sees reflected in the nation at large. In our elevation of the do-nothing-ofvalue, contribute-nothing-of-value, saynothing-of-value likes of Paris Hilton and Donald Trump to the highest station our culture offers – celebrity – we betray not simply a worship of wealth for its own sake, but an implicit belief that net worth equals human worth. And it does not. It’s only money. Money is neutral. It’s what one does with money that defines character. I begrudge no one whatever luxuries fortune makes possible. Enjoy the French chalet if it makes you feel good and the wallet allows. But the poor door seems to me a bridge too far. Were I as rich as Bill Gates plus the Koch brothers multiplied by Oprah Winfrey, I don’t think I’d want to live in a building of separate but unequal access, a building built on the tacit assumption that I would be – or should be – mortally affronted at sharing a lobby with someone just because he had fewer material trinkets than I. The very idea offends our common and interconnected humanity. In the final analysis, we all entered this life through the same door. And we’ll leave it that way, too.

In January of 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson stood before Congress for the annual State of the Union address and declared a “War on Poverty.” Johnson had a plan to do just that and it involved providing government assistance so poor Americans would have the opportunity to become self-sufficient. How did that work out? Basically, Johnson’s idealistic program has become a massive failure. Over the past five decades, the War on Poverty has morphed into a mass of government handouts that has not led Americans to become more self-sufficient, but more dependent. The assistance has not given people a way out of their desperation, but instead set them up for failure and generational poverty. Since 1964, the government has spent more than $20 trillion to wage the War on Poverty. But the overall poverty rate is virtually unchanged since the war began. In 2012 alone, the U.S. spent $916 billion on more than 80 programs designed to assist the poor. About 100 million Americans received assistance from one or more of these programs, with an average benefit of $9,000 a year – and that doesn’t include Social Security or Medicare. Why has a decent idea turned into such an ineffective monster? There are a few reasons. Bleeding hearts with good intentions – both back in 1964 and today – who can’t or won’t see the harm they are doing. The nature of government to expand and try to do too much. Politicians using government benefits to buy votes. You cannot expect people to do anything to help themselves when the government tries to provide for their every need. The War on Poverty wasn’t a bad idea in its original context. But the execution has been tragically wrong. It has created generations of wasted lives. It has destroyed whole communities. It took a long time to get where we are. And it’s going to take time to get out of this mess – that is, if anyone in Washington actually wants to do so.

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

ALL THE RIGHT MOVES Brescacin makes fast break from hoops to football

Kaneland alum to report to Italian team this month

By STEVE NITZ snitz@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Juwan Brescacin always has been somebody who takes chances. Growing up in Mississauga, Ontario – a suburb of Toronto – Brescacin decided to come stateside to attend Culver Military Academy in Indiana his final two years of high school. Basketball also used to be the Northern Illinois junior receiver’s No. 1 sport, but eventually football took over. It led him here, where he’s looking to be a big part of the Huskies’ offense this season. “I’ve been trying to just make the most of my opportunities,” Brescacin said after Tuesday’s practice at Huskie Stadium. “So far it’s paid off for me.” At one point, Brescacin saw a future in basketball. He played AAU ball in the Toronto area, seeing the same court as players such as Anthony Bennett, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft, Phoenix Suns guard Tyler Ennis and Sacramento Kings guard Nick Stauskas, who went to high school with Brescacin in Mississauga. Brescacin was recruited to Culver primarily to play basketball. He had played football since grade school, but had started at offensive line. Listed at 6-foot-4, 224 pounds, he always was one of the bigger players. He eventually played quarterback, and switched to receiver as a junior at Culver. He started getting collegiate interest his senior year, and knew football was his future. “I saw the way the game of football was evolving, and big wide receivers were becoming a big deal,” Brescacin said. “I just took a chance and it worked out for me. I got a [Division I] scholarship to NIU and we’ve had success so far, so it’s great.” At the end of last season, it clicked for Brescacin. In a Nov. 20 win at Toledo, he had career highs with eight catches and 121 yards, and proceeded to have touchdown catches the final three games of the year.

Dudzinski prepares for debut By KEVIN DRULEY kdruley@shawmedia.com As his summer travel itinerary expands with every destination – Boston to Elburn to New York City to Cuba to Agrigento, Italy – Dave Dudzinski takes a rare pause. “All over the place, man,” he said. Every mile builds toward the Kaneland and Holy Cross product’s professional basketball debut. He reports to Fortitudo Agrigento, a team in a second-tier Italian league, later this month, with promises of an apartment, car, monthly pay and right-hand side driving awaiting him. That’s all Dudzinski needs for now. He’s taking his passport because it’s required, not to rack up the stamps. “A lot of people bring that up to me, and I’m looking forward to seeing the country and Europe, but at the same time, it’s not a vacation, really,” Dudzinski said. “It’s my job. I’m going to treat it like that. I can’t treat it like a vacation. You have to take it seriously and do what’s best. Put my career first. All those sights, you can fall in with when you get the time.” At 6-foot-9 and 235 pounds, Dudzinski remains his own physical marvel, one bent on staying across the pond for a while before potentially building steam to give a potential NBA career a shot. Holy Cross coach Milan Brown said he “wouldn’t be surprised to turn on NBA TV and see” Dudzinski “on a summer league team” in five to eight years. High praise for the player Brown calls “probably the hardest-working kid that I’ve coached” over four seasons with Holy Cross and seven at Mount St. Mary’s.

deep there, and so we are,” Carey said. “The next guy’s just got to understand there’s probably going to be more carries for him, at least early.” Here are some other notes from Tuesday’s practice: • The secondary could be a strength of the defense. Three of the four starting spots should be set, with Dechane Durante and converted corner Marlon Moore at safety, and Paris Logan at corner. Sophomore Anthony Brooks is listed as the starter at the other cornerback spot, and redshirt-freshman Brandon Mayes is listed as a backup at both corner and safety.

8SPORTS BRIEFS Ed Sprinkle, football’s ‘meanest man,’ dies at 90 PALOS HEIGHTS – Ed Sprinkle, a star defensive end for the Bears in the 1940s and ’50s who was called the “meanest man” in football, has died. He was 90. He died July 28 in Palos Heights, daughter Susan Withers said. Sprinkle played for the Bears from 1944 to 1955 under coach George Halas, including the 1946 championship team. Sprinkle was elected to the Chicago Sports Hall of Fame in 1984.

Spurs hire WNBA star Hammon as assistant As a 5-foot-6 point guard, decorated WNBA veteran Becky Hammon never has had the experience of shattering a backboard with a dunk. She’s busting through the glass ceiling instead. The San Antonio Spurs hired Hammon as an assistant coach Tuesday, making her the first full-time, paid female assistant on an NBA coaching staff. When Hammon retires from her 16year WNBA career at the end of the San Antonio Stars’ season, she immediately will move to the staff of the defending NBA champions, working with the revered Gregg Popovich on scouting, game-planning and the day-to-day grind of practice like no woman ever has done before. “Nothing in my life has really ever been easy. I’ve always been someone who did it uphill,” Hammon said. “I’m up for challenges. I’m up for being outside the box, making tough decisions and challenges. ... And I’m a little bit of an adrenaline junkie. Throw those all in there and this was the perfect challenge and opportunity.”

Family of Cal player files wrongful death suit OAKLAND, Calif. – The family of former California football player Ted Agu filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the Regents of the University of California on Tuesday, alleging “reckless and negligent behavior” by the staff toward an athlete known to have sickle cell trait. The lawsuit filed in California Superior Court repeatedly says that the university was negligent for hiring and retaining trainer Robert Jackson, who previously worked at Central Florida, where he was the sole certified athletic trainer present when receiver Ereck Plancher died after conditioning drills in March 2008. The suit says Jackson was the most experienced trainer at the scene when Agu died after experiencing “extreme fatigue” during an offseason training run Feb. 7 in Berkeley. The family’s attorneys argue that, like Plancher, Agu had sickle cell trait and should not have been put through a “lethal conditioning drill.” – Wire reports

BEARS NOTES

TE’s suspension puzzling Bears in search of No. 3 WR

BOURBONNAIS – Bears general manager Phil Emery gathered all of the media at practice Tuesday morning 20 minutes into practice. That never happens. “Last night, we made a decision to fine and suspend Martellus Bennett for an undetermined length of time,” Emery said. “This is a process that we’re working with Martellus on. We are in contact with him and our goal is to have Martellus back as soon as possible. He’s a very loved and respected teammate and we want him back, but it’s a process we have to work through.” When asked what led to the suspension, Emery said, “He was suspended for conduct detrimental to the team and there won’t be any further information available than that.” Normally, responsible members of the media avoid speculation at all costs, but in this case the Bears have left us no choice but to participate in educated analysis, at the very least. In the 37 years I’ve been covering the NFL, I cannot remember a player being fined and suspended for a training camp fight. There has to be more here than meets the eye. Bennett’s backup, Dante Rosario, seemed surprised. “In my first five years I was in training camp with (Panthers) coach (John) Fox, and there was fights all the time and it was never like guys getting kicked off the practice field,” Rosario said. “I think that it’s just (Marc) Trestman’s style – he wants everyone to feel like they can come out here and be safe, and he just didn’t deem that that was a safe environment for them to be fighting like that.” But that’s getting kicked out of practice, which Bennett wasn’t. Fined and suspended, for a training camp fight? Never. “We’ve got a plan and a process in place,” Trestman said. “And, as I told the team

Bears tight end Martellus Bennett catches a ball during training camp July 26 in Bourbonnais. Bennett was suspended indefinitely by the team Tuesday after an altercation with safety Kyle Fuller in practice the day before.

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush (Tuesday), we love him. He works hard. He loves football. He’s a good father and we want to get him back as soon as we can and we’ll go through this process and, when the time is right, he’ll be back.” When pushed on a timeline, Trestman repeated that “It’s a process. That’s a great question. I can’t answer that, other than to say it’s going to be one day at a time.” Punishing a young man for a fight is a simple and finite decision. It can only become an indefinite process if the lines of communication are broken. Bennett was asked after the fight Monday what would happen if the Bears fined him and his response was, “I can afford it. I don’t see what he can fine me for on that.” Could it be any more obvious that management expressed its displeasure with Bennett and he failed to understand or accept the reprimand? I have had the benefit and the pleasure of working with Bennett on a few

radio shows and several other events away from the team. He is warm, engaging, extremely bright and a good guy. I like him, a lot. But he does appear to have a short attention span at times, occasionally loses focus and ends up talking about a handful of subjects all at once and can go out of his way to make sure the spotlight is focused squarely on him. More than once the “huge kid” they call Marty has been known to engage a full squadron of media with various antics he seems to improvise as the occasion dictates, while teammates and coaches walk by with curious glances or wry smiles that seem to say, “I guess that’s just Marty.” I cannot pretend to know what’s going on in Bennett’s head right now, nor can I say what Trestman and Emery are thinking. I do absolutely believe they need and want him back as soon as possible. But it’s pretty obvious they want back a different version of the man than they’ve had so far.

Audition time opens up for TEs By PATRICK FINLEY pfinley@suntimes.com BOURBONNAIS – The empty chair in the Bears’ tight ends room was there for a reason: Martellus Bennett was suspended Tuesday after body-slamming first-round pick Kyle Fuller a day earlier. “I think he wants to keep his teammates safe, and (Monday) that didn’t happen as easily,” tight ends coach Andy Bischoff said. “We would love to have him in every practice. “And he has to manage himself in a way so he can be in every practice.” How long that will take was an open-ended question Tuesday at Olivet Nazarene University. The Bears would only describe his suspension as indefinite, his fine as undisclosed. Matthew Mulligan – a block-first tight end – joked

Mulligan is on his seventh team in six years, didn’t play football until college and lives out of extended-stay hotels to stay mobile in a cruel business.

The Maine alum looked around the Dolphins locker room as a rookie and decided to base his career around being an excellent blocker. “I’m undrafted and from a small school,” he said. “So if you can stand out in one thing – if you can really show a team, I do this better than anybody else that we have here – I think you have a better opportunity of making it than if you just said you did a lot of things that were OK.” Mulligan can catch, too. “Obviously, he’s majoring in the run game and protection,” Bischoff said. “But he minors in the pass game enough to keep people honest and to keep himself on the field.” So too does Mastrud, who played 51 percent of the Raiders’ snaps last season and profiles as a strong blocker. Miller has 45 catches in three NFL seasons, but none since 2011.

BOURBONNAIS – With Brandon Marshall taking the day off and Marquess Wilson having surgery Tuesday morning on his fractured clavicle, the Bears’ search for a No. 3 receiver is in full force, and almost every receiver on the roster took at least one rep with the first team during Tuesday’s practice. “We want to see guys who can make plays and take care of the ball, protect the ball, know what to do and how to do it at the right time – just like we ask of each and every player at their position and we’ll see what happens,” coach Marc Trestman said. Alshon Jeffery did his thing and put on a show, catching almost everything thrown his way during team drills, but it’s Eric Eric Weems Weems, Chris Williams, Josh Morgan, Josh Bellamy, Micheal Spurlock, Armanti Edwards and Dale Moss who are under the microscope, and Trestman said that we might “see resolution in the next 48 hours” at the position, which could mean someone else is signed. The receiver on the roster with the most knowledge of and experience with the offense is Weems, who took a pay cut in the offseason to stick with the roster and has had a “great camp,” quarterback Jay Cutler said. “Just by playing with speed, quickness, getting open, so the quarterback doesn’t have to get in a situation where he has to throw it up, a jump ball, like he does with the big guy,” the 5-foot-9 Weems said that he could make up for a lack of size. If Trestman wants to lean on overall experience and production, one would think Morgan would have the edge, with his 199 career catches. Morgan wants to be known as an all-around receiver who can catch as well as block for his teammates. “If you need me to make the big play or make the tough catch, or the catch in traffic, or the catch across the middle, I think if you watch film of me over the years, I’ve done all of that,” he said. Even if the Bears do bring a player in, one of these reserves still will be asked to take on a bigger role going forward. Backup quarterback Jordan Palmer knows the reserve receivers well from throwing to them in practice, and he has confidence in the group competing to replace Wilson. “I think that we’ve got a number of guys who can fill in. The No. 1 thing you’ve got to be able to do in this offense is know what you’re doing: line up in the right spot, run the right route, the right depth, the right angle,” Palmer said. “… I think, if there was ever a group to fill in for an injury like that, this is the group.” Injury update: Tim Jennings (quad), Eben Britton (hamstring), Chris Conte (shoulder) and Craig Steltz (groin) all remained out. Isaiah Frey left practice with a right hamstring injury that he said felt like a pull. Jordan Mills did not finish practice because of a sore foot.

Huskies have a lot of talent at receiver Michigan St. girding BIG TEN FOOTBALL PREVIEW

• NIU NOTES

for Ohio St. in East By ERIC OLSON The Associated Press Michigan State has played in two of the three Big Ten title games, is the defending Rose Bowl champion and is enjoying the best run in program history with 42 wins in four years. Yet the Spartans cling to an underdog mentality, the product of being overshadowed historically by Michigan and Ohio State. Coach Mark Dantonio never wants his team to stop playing with that edge. “Respectability can fly right out the window on us,” he said. “So it’s what we’ve done lately that you’re basically judged on, and we continue to build our future.” The task gets tougher this year. The Spartans play host to the Buckeyes in a November night game that could decide the new East Division. Of more immediate concern is a trip to Oregon the first week of September. That game could loom large in determining whether the Spartans land a spot in the inaugural, four-team College Football Playoff. “We’re coming with at least a bona fide big game under our belts as we move forward,” Dantonio said. “One way or the other, win or lose, we need to gain experience from that game and be able to push through and into the conference.” The Big Ten goes from 12 to 14 teams with the additions of Maryland and Rutgers. Another big story line is the debut of new Penn State coach James Franklin. Three story lines to watch in the Big Ten: Sparty party: Defensive coordinator Pat Narduzzi has a track record of rolling out some of the nation’s best units, and don’t expect anything different even though he lost six starters.

Continued from page B1

Big Ten forecast AP college football writer Eric Olson’s predicted order of finish: EAST 1. Michigan State 2. Ohio State 3. Michigan 4. Penn State 5. Maryland 6. Indiana 7. Rutgers WEST 1. Iowa 2. Nebraska 3. Wisconsin 4. Northwestern 5. Minnesota 6. Illinois 7. Purdue Title game winner: Michigan St. The offense should keep rolling along, returning 97 percent of its production from a year ago, including quarterback Connor Cook and running back Jeremy Langford. Buckeye bounceback? Ohio State, coming off two straight losses, is a trendy pick to win the East even though Urban Meyer must replace four offensive linemen and QB Braxton Miller is coming off right (throwing) shoulder surgery. The losses of RB Carlos Hyde and backup QB Kenny Guiton shouldn’t be underestimated. Rising Iowa: The Hawkeyes won four games in 2012, eight in 2013, and more could be in store in 2014. They have experience in QB Jake Rudock, a dependable RB corps and an offensive line featuring NFL prospect Brandon Scherff. Yes, they lost three linebackers who combined for almost 1,000 career tackles, but they have the softest schedule in the league, with West opponents Northwestern, Wisconsin and Nebraska coming to Iowa City.

Depth-wise, some true freshmen are set to step in here. Players who have gotten reps include Shawun Lurry (who picked off Anthony Maddie for a TD at the conclusion of Tuesday’s practice), Mayomi Olootu, Deion Hallmon and Tifonte Hunt at corner, and Jawaun Johnson and Darion Henderson at safety. Sophomore safety Mycial Allen is recovering from a torn ACL he suffered during the spring, which opens up some playing time. Carey said Allen’s recovery is on track, and there’s a chance he plays this year. If Allen were to miss the season, he hasn’t used his redshirt year yet. • NIU has a lot of talent at receiver with known veterans Tommylee Lewis, Da’Ron Brown and Juwan Brescacin, and there’s some young talent there. Aregeros Turner is listed as a starter and easily could take a big step forward, and receivers coach Thad Ward said sophomore Chad Beebe had the best spring of any wideout. “Right now, he’s started

having him on our team. He’s going to be a really good player for us.” • There also is a lot of true freshman talent at wideout. It will be interesting to see if any of the South Florida products (Ezra Saffold, David Senior and Christian Blake) work their way into the lineup this year. Saffold is listed at the same height as Tommylee Lewis (5-foot-7), and both attended W.T. Dwyer High School in Riviera Beach, Florida. It’s understandable they would get compared to each other. Ward said the comparison is justified. “Even when I watched [Saffold] back [in high school practice], you could see that,” Ward said. “The team, they actually won a state championship. No. 1 he’s a winner, he’s tough. That’s Tommylee.” • Freshman defensive end Ruben Dunbar hasn’t played since he was a senior at Glenbard West in 2012, as he had Danielle Guerra – dguerra@shawmedia.com to get his academics in order Northern Illinois University receiver Tommylee Lewis carries the ball last year. Carey said there’s rust during practice Tuesday at Huskie Stadium. there, but he’s doing a nice job off balling. He’s having a good ductive, great attitude. Every adjusting. camp right now, really good day he knows how to train, • NIU will hold its first fullcamp,” Ward said. “Very pro- takes care of his body. I love pad practice at 2:45 p.m. today.

Brescacin gains confidence with experience • BRESCACIN Continued from page B1 It was just a matter of being more confident, and in turn the coaches saw confidence in him. “Expectations for him have risen as a player. Instead of hoping to do things, he’s expecting to do them,” NIU coach Rod Carey said. “When you get confidence and expectations that meet in the same place, you usually

get a pretty good player.” With his relative inexperience at receiver coming in, Brescacin was more of a raw talent. He always has had the size, but he’s done a better job of getting open, and going up and attacking the ball. NIU receivers coach Thad Ward said skills such as Brescacin’s route running have taken a big step forward. “Every year he gets better Danielle Guerra - dguerra@shawmedia.com with that,” Ward said. “He’s a much better blocker than NIU junior receiver Juwan Brescacin catches a pass during Tuesday’s when he first started off.” practice at Huskie Stadium in DeKalb.

‘It seems like a fantastic situation’ • DUDZINSKI Continued from page B1 To that end, Dudzinski arrived at the Boston Celtics’ practice facility from nearby Holy Cross for a pre-NBA draft workout in late June. He came armed with a psychological edge, if not every scout’s attention, in a workout that also included Connecticut’s Shabazz Napier – the Most Outstanding Player of the 2014 Final Four – and Michigan State standout Keith Appling. Dudzinski’s agent, Nick Morteo of Boston-based Pro Partner Sports Management, pulled some strings with the Celtics to help his client get some exposure. Dudzinski felt he left with even more. “Oh, absolutely,” Dudzinski said. “I had Shabazz Napier in my workout. He was a firstround draft pick (of the Miami Heat). I didn’t have anything to lose, in my mind, so I just went out there and didn’t take it as ‘I need to show them this, I need to show them that.’ I just went out there and played, and thought I played pretty well.” As a senior, Dudzinski ranked third in the Patriot League with a 15.1 points a game scoring average while leading the conference in rebounding at 7.4 a game. Predominantly a back-tothe-basket player with the Crusaders, who won 55 games in his four seasons, Dudzinski showed touch from distance, as well, shooting 35.1 percent from 3-point range as a senior. He devoted summer workouts to increasing his shooting and ballhandling skills, feeling confident about his blend of strength and agility in the post. Still keeping tabs on Dudzinski, Brown recalls a player who entered the program already bearing a pleasant surprise: more athleticism than the coaching staff thought at first glance. “Dave goes 100 percent in the weight room, game, prac-

I tell his parents every time I see him, they did a great job raising him.” Dudzinski again explored his options – basketball, fallback and otherwise – with parents David and Barb a few weeks ago. This time, Morteo didn’t just offer a few hours of drills with a professional team. He had a contract with one, albeit for an operation based on the southern coast of Sicily, Italy. Fear of the unknown hardly fazed Dudzinski. Until this week, when he flew from New York to Cuba as part of a project with Full Court Peace, a nonprofit organization that unites at-risk youth through

basketball, Dudzinski never had ventured outside the continental United States. Bring on Fortitudo Agrigento. That first word, by the way, is Latin, noted Dudzinski, an accounting major who studied the language for two semesters. “It seems like a fantastic situation. It’s a really good league, especially for a rookie, so I’m excited about that,” Dudzinski said. “Just taking any nervousness and just putting that in my workouts. I’m working that much harder.” Dudzinski is optimistic his parents can travel to see him play, especially considering he’ll be unable to come home for the holidays. The league plays games on Sundays from October through May, Dudzinski said. The first team meeting is scheduled for Aug. 20, with practice beginning a day later. Fortitudo Agrigento has a history of signing American players, also welcoming Norfolk State guard Pendarvis Williams to this season’s team. Guard Kwame Vaughn, a Cal State-Fullerton product, played in 2013-14. Due to return home from Cuba this weekend, Dudzinski looks forward to one more stretch with family in Elburn. His younger sister, Katy, is a redshirt sophomore outside hitter for the Wichita State women’s volleyball team. The family’s youngest sibling, Robbie, is an incoming Kaneland freshman, who Dave said, “doesn’t look like a kid anymore.” “No pressure on him, though,” Dave Dudzinski said. “Want him to have a normal high school experience, just like me and my sister had. It’s not like a do-or-die, get a scholarship or you’re [an] outcast or anything. It’s not like that at all.” Like their well-traveled son and brother, the Dudzinski family has solid footing in reality. It seems to follow wherever members go.

Clinic owner tied to scandal to plead guilty By JENNIFER KAY and TIM REYNOLDS The Associated Press MIAMI – The former clinic owner accused of selling performance-enhancing drugs to Alex Rodriguez has agreed to plead guilty in what prosecutors called a wide-ranging conspiracy to distribute steroids to both major league ballplayers and high school athletes. The charges filed Tuesday against former Biogenesis of America owner Anthony Bosch and six others marked one of the biggest salvos yet in a case that has dragged on for nearly two years. The case has sparked lawsuits, mudslinging and suspensions against numerous major leaguers, including Rodriguez.

Also charged was Yuri Sucart, 52, a cousin of Rodriguez who the New York Yankees third baseman has said provided him with steroids from 2000 to 2003 when he played for the Texas Rangers. Sucart and the others are accused of acting as recruiters, setting up meetings between the athletes and Bosch, who introduced himself as “Dr. T,” authorities said. Professional athletes paid up to $12,000 a month for the drugs provided by Biogenesis, while high schoolers paid up to $600 a month. All the clients were promised that the substances would not be found through drug testing, prosecutors said. “He is not a doctor,” Mark R. Trouville, chief of the Miami Drug Enforcement Ad-

ministration office, said of Bosch. “He is a drug dealer.” U.S. Attorney Wifredo A. Ferrer said Bosch did not have a medical license, making what happened all the more dangerous. “As with many drug cases, these defendants were motivated by Anthony Bosch one thing – by money,” Ferrer said. Major League Baseball was not part of the criminal investigation and declined comment. No athletes were charged or named in court documents, and it is unclear how many might have been involved. However, authorities said Bosch admitted to provid-

ing performance-enhancing drugs to 18 high schoolers. For now, Bosch has pleaded not guilty and his bond was set at $100,000. He faces up to 10 years in prison. “In terms of an agreement to cooperate and plead guilty, Bosch has agreed to Alex Rodriguez do that,” Ferrer said. Michael McCann, director of the sports and entertainment law center at the University of New Hampshire School of Law, said it’s unlikely that the players involved in this scandal will face criminal charges, unless there’s any evidence that a player went beyond using drugs and into distributing them.

“They could lose an endorsement contract because of a morals clause in their contract, but if that were to happen, I think it would have already happened,” McCann said. “In terms of punishment from baseball, baseball has punished them.” The prosecution might have taken so long because investigators might have wanted to confirm the information they were getting from Bosch, even if he was cooperating, McCann said. “He’s not somebody with a great track record, there are reasons to doubt him in terms of his credibility,” he said. Joe Tacopina, a lawyer for Rodriguez, said the arrests Tuesday represent a degree of closure for Rodriguez and

will enable him to focus on an eventual return to baseball. “It sort of reinforces the notion that Alex committed no crime, No. 1,” Tacopina said. “And No. 2, quite frankly, this really signified the beginning of the end of the whole Biogenesis saga and allows Alex to focus on the future going forward.” Rodriguez is serving a season-long suspension, the longest penalty in the sport’s history related to performance-enhancing drugs. He was the only one of 14 players involved in the scandal to contest his penalty. However, since the investigation is ongoing, it remains possible that more players eventually could face sanctions as a result of the Biogenesis probe.

Bulls’ Rose among 16 finalists By JOE COWLEY jcowley@suntimes.com

Rory McIlroy signs autographs after a practice round for the PGA Championship on Tuesday at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Ky.

PGA CHAMPIONSHIP

Boy Wonder wary of all the hype By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Golf stories about Rory McIlroy are a lot more flattering than those a year ago. And if he reads too much into them, they can be a lot more dangerous. McIlroy went wire to wire at Hoylake to win the British Open. Then, he overpowered Firestone on the weekend to win his first World Golf Championship. Now he is the overwhelming favorite at the PGA Championship. He is looked on in some corners as a sure thing, a label once reserved only for Tiger Woods. Boy Wonder is not so sure about that. “Sometimes I feel that people are too quick to jump to conclusions,” McIlroy said Tuesday before heading out for his first look at Valhalla. “I’ve had a great run of golf and I’ve played well over the past few months. Look, I said at the start of the year that golf was looking for someone to put their hand up and sort of become one of the dominant players in the game. I felt like I had the ability to do that. And it’s just nice to be able to win a few tournaments and get back to where I feel I should be.” He is No. 1 in the world again. He has three wins in his past

seven starts. And with three legs of the career Grand Slam – only Woods and Jack Nicklaus were younger than the 25-yearold McIlroy when they achieved that – there was even talk about the start of a new era. McIlroy wasn’t buying. “I’m just really happy with where my golf game is at the minute, and I just want to try and continue that for as long as possible,” he said. “And people can say what they want to say. That’s fine. But I can’t read too much into it. ... Because if you read everything that was being written, I’d turn up at the first tee on Thursday thinking I’d already won the tournament.” The question lingered Tuesday whether Woods was going to make it to the first tee at all. Woods injured his back Sunday – four months after back surgery – and canceled his news conference Tuesday. There was no word on his prospects, presumably because he wanted to give himself as much time as possible to see if he could play. Even if he did, that wouldn’t take the focus from McIlroy. McIlroy appears to be in full flight, just as he was in his record victory at Congressional in the 2011 U.S. Open, and just as he was when he won the PGA Championship by a record eight shots in 2012.

It hasn’t been a bad way for Derrick Rose to spend a summer so far. After tearing up rookies and youngsters in Summer League practice with the Bulls in June, Rose’s return took another step when USA Basketball chief Jerry Colangelo announced Tuesday that Rose was one of 16 finalists for Team USA’s World Cup roster. Twelve players will make the team that will compete in the tournament, which begins late this month in Spain. “In Derrick’s case, Derrick was sensational all week,” USA Basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski said in a telecon-

ference. ‘‘He did that every day. He was fast, strong and decisive. He really created an air of excitement for the team. “We were all anxious to see who he was (coming into training camp last week). And who he is, is very, very good. We’re all ecstatic for him.” Derrick Rose Rose and Team USA will resume training Aug. 14 in Chicago, with an exhibition game against Brazil scheduled for Aug. 16 at the United Center. That will be the first time Bulls fans will be able to see Rose play since suffering a season-ending injury to his right knee in November.

Unfortunately, one player no longer in the running is Paul George, who suffered a horrific leg injury in the intrasquad game Friday in Las Vegas and might miss the entire NBA season. “Until the injury to one of our players, Paul George, we had a great week,” Colangelo said. “We really did, maybe one of the best weeks in USA Basketball. “We’ve been in communication with our players.

school

Quick and easy recipes boost brain power to help keep kids focused, full By ALISON LADMAN The Associated Press

he words hungry kids heading home from school hate most? “Have a piece of

fruit.” After-school snacks are one of the toughest terrains for parents to navigate. The kids want a treat, but parents – mindful that dinner is just around the corner – want to keep it healthy. So we decided to come up with a healthy, filling snack that kids would still consider a treat. These chocolate and granola covered frozen bananas are a healthy snack that eat like a frozen pop with a hit of chocolate. If your kids aren’t into granola, you could substitute chopped nuts, crushed whole-grain pretzels or even raisins or dried cranberries. Frozen Chocolate Granola Bananas Start to finish: 20 minutes, plus freezing Servings: 4 1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate bits 2 tablespoons orange juice 2 bananas 1 cup granola Line a small pan with waxed paper. Bring a small saucepan of water (about 1 inch) to a simmer. In a small bowl, combine the chocolate bits and orange juice. Place the bowl over the pan of simmering water. Stir continuously until melted and smooth. Peel the bananas, then cut each banana in half crosswise. Insert a fork into one end of each piece. Dip each banana into the chocolate mixture, using a spoon to scoop the chocolate over the banana to make sure it is completely covered. Roll the coated banana in the granola, then place the forked and coated bananas on the prepared pan. Freeze.

Meal planning The meals we make during September need to be fast and easy. There simply isn’t enough time most nights to prepare a full meal, let alone three squares a day. As you adjust to new schedules, the first month after the kids return to school simply isn’t the time to reach for new culinary heights. With that in mind, these recipes will keep the whole family functioning: Breakfast: Broccoli Cheddar Breakfast Muffins (right) Lunch: Quinoa Lunch Box Rollups or sandwiches on Dutch Oven Multigrain Bread Dinner: Easty Steak And Cheese Pasta Page C2

BREAKFAST

Muffin makes the meal EVERYDAY DINNERS Sara Moulton When fall rolls around and it’s back to school and work, wouldn’t you love to start your day with something tastier and more substantial than that alltoo-typical bowl of cold cereal? It’s just so boring day after day. And that’s apart from the fact that most cereals will fail to tide you over until lunchtime. Here, then, is a meal in a muffin, a delicious and substantial alternative to the usual breakfast fare. The base is a mix of white whole-wheat and all-purpose flours. Don’t fret over the whole wheat. White whole-wheat flour, which is available at most supermarkets, is made from a variety of wheat that is lighter in color and flavor than a traditional whole wheat, but just as healthy. The flour mix is moistened with eggs (a terrific source of protein), a combo of olive oil and just a little butter, as well as a bit of buttermilk and some Greek yogurt. The latter is a wonderful ingredient. Somehow the version with zero fat delivers all of the creamy mouth feel and tangy depth of flavor that anyone could wish for, with double the protein of regular yogurt. Next come the veggies. I’ve chosen broccoli and roasted

red peppers, but you’re welcome to replace them with carrots or chopped green beans. Your choice, as long as they add up to 1¾ cups. And by the way, you don’t need to pre-cook the vegetables before adding them to the batter. I’ve amped up the flavor with modest amounts of Canadian bacon and full-fat cheddar cheese. The finished muffins are good to go: tasty and filling

without a ton of sugar and fat. Breakfast may never be the same. For that matter, these muffins would be great for lunch, too.

Broccoli Cheddar Breakfast Muffins Start to finish: 1 hour (35 minutes active) Makes 12 muffins

2 cups white whole-wheat flour 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 2 large eggs 1 cup fat-free plain Greek yogurt 3/4 cup buttermilk 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons unsalted butter,

melted 3/4 cup finely chopped roasted red peppers, plus 1/4 cup of the pepper liquid from the jar 1 cup small raw broccoli florets or chopped thawed frozen broccoli florets 1/2 cup diced Canadian bacon (about 3 ounces) 3/4 cup coarsely grated sharp cheddar cheese (about 3 ounces), divided Heat the oven to 425 degrees.

Mist a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray, or line with cupcake liners. In a large bowl, stir together both flours, the baking powder, baking soda, salt and pepper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, yogurt, buttermilk, olive oil, butter and pepper juice (if the jar did not have 1/4 cup of juice in it, supplement with water). Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and stir just until combined. Add the peppers, broccoli, bacon and 1/2 cup of the cheese, stirring well. Scoop the batter (it will be quite thick) into the muffin cups, filling them completely. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the tops of the muffins. Bake on the oven’s middle shelf until the tops are golden, about 25 minutes. Remove the muffins from the pan and cool on a rack.

LUNCH

Rolls trump sandwiches By SARA MOULTON The Associated Press

Quinoa Lunch Box Rollups AP photo

With a new school year on the horizon, it’s time to think about what’s for lunch. Brown bagging it is plenty economical, but a steady diet of sandwiches becomes boring pretty quickly, to say nothing of the fact that all those servings of refined carbs simply don’t provide the energy necessary to power you through a long afternoon. So here is an alternative to the typical sandwich – colorful veggie/protein rolls that are light, yet substantial. I modeled it on a sushi roll, but swapped out the rice for quinoa, and the fish for turkey. By now, most folks have heard of quinoa, an ancient grain-like seed. It’s not only a protein-rich food, it’s also gluten-free and a terrific source of many nutrients, including fiber. But flavor-wise, quinoa isn’t exactly a powerhouse. So

I add a little lemon juice and olive oil, which makes it quite tasty. Another of quinoa’s charms is that it’s quick to cook, unlike most grains. White quinoa is the most common variety, but you’re welcome to substitute black or red in this recipe (though the end result will not be as pleasing to the eye). Check the back of the package to make sure the quinoa has been pre-washed. If not, rinse it yourself before cooking. It can be bitter otherwise. This lunch roll is formed with a double layer of sliced turkey breast, which ensures that it won’t fall apart. Lean roast beef would perform the same task, if that’s more your style. I’ve filled it with carrots and red peppers, but any vegetables cut into thin strips will do. Likewise, you can substitute the lettuce of your choice for the spinach I specify. This recipe is very adaptable.

Quinoa Lunch Box Rollups

Let cool to room temperature before assembling the rolls. Start to finish: 45 minutes On a cutting board, lay out 4 of (20 active) the turkey slices. Top each one Makes 4 rollups with a second turkey slice to make a double layer. Spread 2 teaspoons 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken of the mayonnaise on the top of broth each double layer, then spread a 1/4 cup quinoa quarter of the spinach on top of the 1 tablespoon lemon juice mayonnaise. Mound a quarter of 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil the quinoa on top of the spinach, 8 deli slices (about 8 ounces) spreading it to within 1/2 inch of fresh or smoked turkey the edges. 3 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons Arrange several red pepper and light mayonnaise carrot slices crosswise down the 1 cup (1/2 ounce ) baby spinach middle of the roll. Starting with the 1/2 red bell pepper, cored and cut short side of each turkey stack, roll into 1/8-inch-thick strips up the turkey tightly to enclose the 1 small carrot, cut into 1/8-inchfilling. Cut each roll crosswise into thick strips 4 rounds and arrange the slices, cut sides up, in a lunch container. In a small saucepan, bring the broth to a boil.

DINNER

Comforting steak and cheese pasta a quick fix By J.M. HIRSCH The Associated Press Parents love back-toschool season because it gets the whole family back on a schedule. Parents hate backto-school season because that schedule usually leaves too little time to get dinner on the table. And it usually takes a solid month of shakedown to work out the bugs in that schedule, sorting out which days leave time for a home-cooked meal, and which simply demand take-out. The meals we do make during that month need to be particularly fast and easy. That was the inspiration for this pasta dinner, a rethinking of the classic steak and cheese grinder, but as a comforting bowl of carbs. If rice is more your style, the cheesy steak and onions would be just as good served over that. Or if you are watching the carbs, you also

could spoon the mixture over bowls of steamed or roasted vegetables.

Easty Steak And Cheese Pasta Start to finish: 25 minutes Servings: 6 12-ounces whole-wheat spaghetti or other pasta 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce 2 tablespoons tomato paste 2 tablespoons water 1 tablespoon cornstarch 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced 1 large red bell pepper, cored and thinly sliced 1 large green bell pepper, cored and thinly sliced 2 cloves garlic, minced 1½ pound flank steak, sliced very thinly across the grain 4 ounces grated Parmesan cheese Bring a large saucepan of salted

water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente according to package directions. Drain and set aside. Meanwhile, in a small glass, mix together the soy sauce, tomato paste, water and cornstarch. Set aside. While the pasta cooks, in a large skillet over medium-high, heat the oil. Add the onion, both peppers and the garlic. Saute until tender and just starting to brown, about 7 minutes. Add the steak and saute until just barely cooked, about 5 minutes. Add the soy sauce mixture and return to a simmer, cooking for 2 minutes, or until thickened. Add drained pasta to the skillet and toss well to coat with the sauce and mix with the vegetables and steak. Add the cheese and toss until melted and mixed into the sauce.

Expectant mom with past considers future Dear Abby: Coming out of an abusive relationship in the past, I made some poor decisions. I moved away from home and into pornography and prostitution. I come from a small town, and it became a big deal when it hit the Internet. Everyone in my generation back home knew what I did. Years later, I’m back home. I have a wonderful husband and we’re expecting our first child – a girl. My husband loves and accepts me in spite of my past, and my mother has become my best friend. I love my life here. Nowhere else feels like home. But I’m worried that my child’s life could be miser-

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips able here because of my past. She will go to school with the children of people who know my history. No parent would want their child around me and – by extension – her. She may also learn the unsavory things I did. I’m torn between moving away for her sake or staying. My parents are aging and have no one else to care for them. They can’t follow me, but say I should do what is best for the baby. I hate the idea of deserting my parents

when they need me. But I also hate that my child will be ostracized. Can you help? – Lost in The South Dear Lost: For your child’s sake, I think you should relocate. As I’m sure you have already realized, people can be cruel and they love to talk. When children overhear what is said over the back fence, they can be cruel, too, and I’d rather your daughter wasn’t subjected to it. (This is not to imply that wherever you go, you might not encounter someone who recognizes you – but the chances are less.) You don’t have to move right away. Take your time and scout out locations. Ar-

rangements can be made for care if your parents need it. But your daughter’s welfare must come first. Dear Abby: When you go to the store for milk and eggs there is a “sell-by” date on the package. How long after that date is it safe to use them? – Wondering in New Jersey Dear Wondering: According to Eatbydate.com, when it comes to milk, the length of time it lasts beyond the expiration date on the carton depends on what kind of milk it is. Lactose-free and non-fat milk last another seven to 10 days. Skim and reducedfat milk, one week. Whole milk should last five to seven days. Of course, for this to

happen, the milk must be stored properly, at a temperature at or below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics states that eggs should be refrigerated at the time you buy them and as soon as possible upon your return home, and can be used up to three weeks after the sell-by date if they have been stored properly.

Choosing right kind of fish during pregnancy Dear Dr. K: I recently found out that I’m pregnant. I’d like to continue eating fish, but I understand some fish contain mercury, which could be harmful to my baby. What fish should I avoid? Dear Reader: Fish are a great source of lean protein, and many types are rich in heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, which help brain and nerve development and protect the heart. In fact, current dietary guidelines recommend that women who are pregnant eat 12 ounces of seafood a week. But as you noted, some species of fish do contain worrisome amounts of methylmercury. This toxin is especially dangerous to devel-

ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff oping brains. High-mercury fish you should avoid during pregnancy include swordfish, shark, king mackerel and tilefish. A recent study may add two more fish to that list. The study hints that salmon and tuna may also boost mercury levels. The new study looked at what types of seafood Americans eat and how often, and how that affects mercury levels in the blood. The vast majority of participants had blood levels of mercury in the

safe zone. Not surprisingly, the more fish people ate, the higher the levels of mercury in their blood. Those who consumed swordfish, shark and other high-mercury fish were the most likely to have higher blood levels of mercury. But some study participants who reported that they ate only salmon or tuna also had high mercury levels. My Harvard Medical School colleague Dr. Emily Oken has studied women’s fish consumption during pregnancy. She explains that it’s complicated to tease out the harmful effects of mercury. That’s because the primary source of mercury in our diets is fish. And fish have nutrients that are ben-

eficial to the brain and the heart – the same organs that mercury may harm. Low-mercury fish options include trout, herring, pollock, flounder and sole. (On my website, I’ve put a table listing additional low-mercury seafood choices.) In this column I try to make things simple, but the reality is that things are rarely as simple as we would like. Eating fish is a good example. Like all foods, fish contain many different substances. Many of them are healthy, but some of them are unhealthy. So what do you do? As with so many things in life, the key is moderation. Continue to enjoy fish, just

not too much. Since you’re pregnant, eat 12 ounces of fish a week. And choose the fish that contain relatively low levels of mercury. Stay away from high-mercury species. Finally, remember that “moderation” also applies to advice. If you’ve already had a meal or two of high-mercury fish during your pregnancy, please don’t worry that you’ve injured your baby’s brain. A meal or two of high-mercury fish is not like taking poison.

Child bears guilt of parent’s poor marriage Dr. Wallace: I was born in December of 1997. Last weekend I was looking for my birth certificate in a box marked “important” papers, and while browsing through the box, I found my parents’ wedding certificate. It stated that they were married on July 14, 1997. My mom always told me that they were married on July 14, 1996. My parents are now divorced and, of course, I am living with my mom. She is a wonderful parent and I love her very much. She is also my best friend. My parents are divorced and my father has left the region and we don’t know where he is and we don’t really care. He was a terrible husband and father. I’m thrilled that

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace he is out of our lives. Now that I have discovered that mom was pregnant when she married my father, I feel guilty because she probably wouldn’t have married this guy if she wasn’t going to have a baby. Should I talk to my mom about all this, or should I just “let sleeping dogs lie”? – Nameless, Moline, Illinois Nameless: You had nothing to say about your parents’ marriage, and it appears that their divorce was inevitable. You have no reason to feel guilty for anything

TODAY – It’s never too late to start over. Focus your energies on positive things that will enable you to move into a better professional position. Your personal life will reach new heights if you get involved in interesting groups or activities. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Good fortune will be yours. Make plans to socialize and explore new pastimes. Love and romance will flourish if you are attentive and fun-centered. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Prepare to take advantage of an opportunity to increase your knowledge, skills and talents. You can learn a lot if you sign up for a course or event that interests you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – You should consider traveling or taking a brief vacation. An old friend will help bring back all sorts of pleasant memories. Mix the past with the present. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Your career objectives will take longer than you planned. As long as you are still moving forward, there is no need to worry. Set your sights on your destination and remain positive. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Don’t let anyone entice you into overindulging. Look at the big picture and make positive choices. Emotions will be running high, so keep things in perspective. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Someone close to you could be going through a hard time. If you show consideration and kindness, it will be appreciated and reciprocated. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – You are in a cycle thick with love and romance. Be on the lookout for a personal opportunity that is heading your way. Experimentation will pay off and lead you down an interesting path. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Keep a close watch on your cash and your possessions. A loved one may be especially demanding. Be diplomatic and try to offer a reasonable solution rather than financial help. ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Someone from your past will remind you of your former goals. Take a close look at your current situation in order to find a way to incorporate the old with the new. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – You will be temperamental or argumentative today. You can best spend your time working on a solitary project. Distance will be required from someone who tends to aggravate you. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – You are in for a thrilling time. Try something new that’s outside your comfort zone. You will meet someone who enjoys excitement and adventure as much as you do. CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Money matters should be your prime concern. Stay away from joint ventures or risky investments. Overspending will be your downfall. Fix what you have instead of buying something new.

concerning Mom and Dad. There is no good reason to mention to Mom that you are aware that she was pregnant when she married your father. Dr. Wallace: I would like to comment on the girl who said that her parents compared her to a cousin just to encourage her to do better academically. Your response was very true. Her parents were making a huge mistake and they needed to stop this practice immediately. Here is my story. I hope this will cause parents to encourage, but not by comparison. My mother always compared me unfavorably to my many cousins. I was either too fat or my grades

8SUDOKU

were not good enough. Now time has passed and I’m the vice president of a health care system. I have a Master’s degree in Business Administration, and I earn a good salary. None of my cousins have my educational or professional status. That’s really not important. Thanks to my mother, I still struggle with low self-esteem, a remnant of feeling like a failure when compared to my cousins. Is it possible that parents who use comparison as a motivational tool for their children are really trying to compensate for their own feelings of inadequacy when they were young? – Jo, Baltimore, Maryland Jo: Yes, it is possible. And

BRIDGE Phillip Alder

it’s always good for parents and teens to hear from someone who had a negative experience and finished with a positive life. I’m sure many parents will reconsider their actions and motivate their children in a more positive way.

8CROSSWORD

Read the suit from your partner’s play Nancy Mitford, an English novelist, said, “I have only read one book in my life and that is ‘White Fang.’ It’s so frightfully good that I’ve never bothered to read another.” That is hard to believe – she must have read her own books! One of the arts of good bridge is reading the cards – working out who has what from those played. That is important for West in this deal. How should he plan the defense against three notrump? West leads the heart four: three, jack, queen. South plays a club to dummy’s king, then runs the diamond jack. After winning with his queen, how should West continue? South starts with only five top tricks: two hearts (given trick one) and three clubs. Obviously he will play on diamonds for more winners, with spades on the back burner if necessary. Several years ago, during an interview, I was asked what is the one thing I teach my students that they never seem to get straight and I cannot understand why. This is what I answered. When playing third hand high on defense, you play the bottom of equally powerful cards. In this deal, when East plays the heart jack at trick one, he denies holding the 10. So West, reading the cards, knows that South started with the heart ace, queen and 10. This means that leading another heart cannot be right. West needs to get East on play for a heart lead through South. Enter the second key rule: If you lead low from length, you guarantee at least one honor in that suit. Here, West should shift to the spade eight, high denying an honor. Then East should win with his ace and return the heart seven, resulting in South’s going down two.
