KishHealth, Northwestern to merge Groups to submit application soon; state regulators could review it this fall

By BRETT ROWLAND browland@shawnews.com DeKALB – KishHealth System will become part of Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, the systems announced Tuesday.

The agreement was approved unanimously by the boards of both health systems this week, but the deal requires approval by the Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board. The deal, which grew out of talks that started in May, would create a six-hospital system that stretches from Chicago to Sandwich.

KishHealth System’s board voted Wednesday morning, Chairman Tom Matya said.

“We think this is extremely positive,” he said. “To be sought after by Northwestern is a feather in the cap and testament to what our administrators, employees, physicians and community has built here.”

Joining Northwestern Memorial will help fill clinical service gaps in DeKalb County by bringing top specialists to the area, Matya said.

“We are incredibly pleased to have reached this milestone with Northwestern Medicine;

our two organizations share many values and a common emphasis on keeping patients at the center of all we do,” KishHealth System President and CEO Kevin Poorten said in a statement. “By joining Northwestern Medicine, we will be able to bring an expansion of resources and opportunities for advanced care to the communities we serve.”

The agreement extends the reach of Northwestern Memorial and provides KishHealth with the resources of the much larger Chicago-based academic health system.

Northwestern Memorial

stands to gain market share and a new pipeline for patient referrals to its specialists.

KishHealth could get an injection of capital in addition to better access to advanced specialists, experts have said.

The details of how KishHealth System will be folded into Northwestern Memorial still are being discussed, said Theresa Komitas, spokeswoman for KishHealth System.

Egyptian Theatre seeks $25K from DeKalb County DeKalb city OKs equal payment if county agrees

By RHONDA GILLESPIE rgillespie@shawmedia.com DeKALB – The city of DeKalb is set to give the Egyptian Theatre $25,000 to cover operating costs, but only if DeKalb County officials agree to do likewise.

Alex Nerad, executive director of the nonprofit theater, appealed Tuesday to members of the DeKalb County Board’s Economic Development Committee to advance to the entire County Board for approval an agreement that would get the theater the money.

The intergovernmental agreement calls for the city and county to pitch in equally to give the theater the $50,000 in total it is requesting.

The money would help the theater – which last year celebrated its 85th anniversary – pay staff and other bills.

The Egyptian Theatre is open September to April, with some events in May and June. It is closed in July and August because it doesn’t have air conditioning. It employs a tiny staff of three – two who work full time and one who works part time – and depends on many volunteers. The theater has an annual budget of $300,000, which mostly comes from fundraising and grants, Nerad said.

“To go a quarter of the year with no revenue is extremely tough,” he told committee members.

Committee members had their own reservations about the county doling out cash to the theater. Several of them doted the theater as a positive for the community. But giving taxpayer money to it was something else to consider.

“I just don’t see this being appropriate for the County Board,” said Dianne Leifheit, a Republican from the 8th District. “This is what we said we would never, ever do, ask for money to keep the Egyptian viable.”

Other members said they have to “look at what’s fair.” Members said giving money to the

Sycamore Speedway revs up business despite soggy summer

By ADAM POULISSE apoulisse@shawmedia.com MAPLE PARK – Derek Walker’s late model No. 30 car is part Monte Carlo, part Camaro – and all adrenaline at the Sycamore Speedway, off Route 64, every weekend.

“I like the Camaro body better.

I think it looks cooler,” said Walker, 22, of Genoa. “It’s just different from what other people do.”

When racing against other late-model drivers, Walker puts the pedal to the metal and, camaraderie among drivers aside, attempts to outrace them – but at the beginning of this season, it didn’t happen as much.

“We’ve had about four or five rainouts,” Walker said. “It kind of [stinks] because we put all this work in the cars, but we don’t get to run them. But that also saves money because nothing breaks and we don’t use fuel.”

Although the summer racing season had a soggy start, the

weather has dried up and given way to a cleaner clay track, resulting in a late-summer business boost at the speedway, assistant promoter Brett Gerace said.

“Our summer season started off pretty rocky. We had quite a few rainouts for the first part of the season,” he said. “But we haven’t had rain in a month, so it really turned it around. We’ve been really busy every night, and there’s been great racing. Crowd and car counts have been very good.”

This season, Sycamore Speedway added three new classes: Socker Stocker, six-cylinder

TODAY’S TALKER

Automakers trying to prevent hackers

By TOM KRISHER The Associated Press DETROIT – When researchers at two West Coast universities took control of a General Motors car through cellular and Bluetooth connections in 2010, they startled the auto industry by exposing a glaring security gap.

Five years later, two friendly hackers sitting on a living room couch used a laptop computer to commandeer a Jeep from afar over the Internet, demonstrating an even scarier vulnerability.

“Cars don’t seem to be any more secure than when the university guys did it,” said Charlie Miller, a security expert at Twitter who, along with well-known hacker and security consultant Chris Valasek, engineered the attack

on the Jeep Cherokee.

Fiat Chrysler, the maker of Jeeps, is now conducting the first recall to patch a cybersecurity problem, covering 1.4 million Jeeps.

And experts and lawmakers are warning the auto industry and regulators to move faster to plug holes created by the dozens of new computers and the growing number of Internet connections in today’s automobiles.

The average new car has 40 to 50 computers that run 20 million lines of software code, more than a Boeing 787, a recent KPMG study found.

Miller and Valasek are known as “white hat,” or ethical hackers, and reported their findings to the company.

But the episode raised the

prospect that someone with malicious intent could commandeer a car with a laptop and suddenly make it stop, accelerate or turn, injuring or killing someone.

After the 2010 hack, the auto industry plugged access holes and tried to isolate entertainment and driver information systems from critical functions, such as steering and brakes.

But in each subsequent model year, it added microchips and essentially turned cars into rolling computers.

The introduction of Internet access has created a host of new vulnerabilities.

“The adversary only needs to find one way to compromise the system, where a defender needs to protect against all ways,” said Yoshi

Kohno, associate professor of computer science at the University of Washington, who was part of the 2010 hack.

Mark Rosekind, who heads the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, has urged the industry to set cybersecurity standards and avoid government regulation.

But two Democratic senators, Edward Markey of Massachusetts and Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, have introduced a bill that would force the industry to seal off critical computers and add technology to stop hackers in real time.

Security experts said automakers should have systems that recognize rogue commands and stop them from taking control of a car. Some already do.

Obama: Critics of Iran deal ‘selling a fantasy’

By JULIE PACE The Associated Press WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama assailed critics of his Iran nuclear deal Wednesday as “selling a fantasy” to the American people, warning Congress that blocking the accord would damage the nation’s credibility and increase the likelihood of more war in the Middle East.

Besides challenging opponents at home, Obama cast Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as an isolated international opponent of the historic accord, saying, “I do not doubt his sincerity, but I believe he is wrong.”

The agreement would require Iran to dismantle most of its nuclear program for at least a decade in exchange for billions of dollars in relief from international sanctions. But Netanyahu and some critics in the U.S. argue that it would not stop Iran from building a bomb.

The president’s blunt re-

marks, in an hour-long address at American University, were part of an intense lobbying campaign by the White House ahead of Congress’ vote next month to either approve or disapprove the international agreement. Opponents of the agreement have streamed to Capitol Hill, too, to make their case, and they have spent tens of millions of dollars on adBarack vertisements.

Obama The stakes are high, Obama said, contending that it isn’t just Iran’s ability to build a bomb that is on the line but also “America’s credibility as the anchor of the international system.”

“The choice we face is ultimately between diplomacy and some form of war,” Obama said. “Maybe not tomorrow, maybe not three months from now, but soon.”

Obama’s diplomatic over-

tures to Iran, a centerpiece of his foreign policy agenda, have put him at odds with Republicans and some Democrats, as well as with Netanyahu, who has campaigned vigorously against the deal.

Netanyahu and U.S. critics of the Iran deal say Obama is presenting a false choice between accepting the deal at hand and going to war to stop Iran from building a bomb.

“I think everyone in the United States knows that this president is not going to carry out military action against Iran,” said Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee.

“Iran knows that.”

Obama told Jewish leaders in a private meeting Tuesday that he understood their concerns about being cast as warmongers. But he made his case even more aggressively Wednesday by linking critics of the deal to those who pushed for the invasion of Iraq in 2003, a conflict now widely considered a mistake.

“I have repeatedly challenged anyone opposed to this deal to put forward a better, plausible alternative,” he said.

“I have yet to hear one. What I’ve heard instead are the same types of arguments that we heard in the runup to the Iraq war.”

While Obama was an early opponent of that war, several of his top foreign policy advisers voted to authorize the conflict, including Vice President Joe Biden, Secretary of State John Kerry and former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Drawing on more distant history, Obama said the Iran deal was in line with America’s long tradition of “strong, principled diplomacy” with adversaries, including the former Soviet Union. He spoke at the same university where John F. Kennedy called for Cold War diplomacy and nuclear disarmament, and he referred to Presidents Kennedy and Ronald Reagan a number of times.

Drivers competing in ‘good,’ ‘clean’ racing at Sycamore Speedway • SPEEDWAY

Continued from page A1 Friday nights at the track consist of spectator, ladies-only racing, demolition derby, and figure-8 and streetcar racing.

Saturdays are for late-model and super late-model – the biggest and most expensive cars – racing.

Friday and Saturday nights attract different visitors, Gerace said.

“Friday night is typically a younger crowd. We get crashing and banging, and there’s more carnage,” he said. “Saturday is usually the racing enthusiasts, fans who are there to see good, quality racing.”

Tim Ludke, 27, of St. Charles said he doesn’t plan to move from the late-model class to the super-late models anytime soon. He took a break last season because, per the rules, if you win two consecutive championships like Ludke did in 2012 and 2013, you either have to move up in class or take a year off.

“I would like to be there, but [super late models are] too pricey for my blood,” Ludke said.

He said this has been “a good season.”

Monica Synett – msynett@shawmedia.com

Drivers speed around the track for timed trials July 25 at the Sycamore Speedway.

“The races have been really good, really competitive,” Ludke said. “We run right on top of each other, but it’s clean.

Everybody picks and chooses when to make the move. When it’s not time to make the move, we won’t make it.”

Jordan Jackowiak, 24, of DeKalb races late models in his pink and black No. 10 car like his racing partner, Jay Brendle, who drives in the super-late class.

“I believe the late model is probably the best group of guys,” Jackowiak said. “We all get along. We all come together, we’ll always give each oth-

er advice. Even if we do bump and bang into each other sometimes, we’re there to laugh it up. We’re all pretty much friends.”

Jackowiak, who watched his dad race in the late 1990s, first got on the speedway in 2009. He won Rookie of the Year in 2011, the Fastest Late Model Award in 2012 and 2013, the Heartthrob Award in 2012, and his first championship in 2014.

He was clocked at 73 mph last year.

“It’s a lot faster than it looks in the stands,” Jackowiak said.

“People don’t realize actually

how fast you’re going until you’re down at the fence or in the car. It takes some time getting used to it. It’s fast, it’s fun – it’s a good adrenaline rush.”

Jackowiak leads the late-model pack with 147 points, just ahead of Walker.

He said the accolades – particularly being called a heartthrob – were new to him.

“It was different at first,” Jackowiak said. “I didn’t play any sports in high school. I didn’t have any fans. It’s been nice seeing people wear our T-shirts. I get pictures sent to me of people at truck pulls or county fairs wearing our shirts.”

For all those accolades, however, they don’t produce enough money to sustain a living, Ludke said.

“We’re all 9-to-5,” he said.

On a good night, a driver might take home $200, Jackowiak said.

“If you do well ... you can make decent money,” he said.

“You can come out even or a little bit ahead.”

Walker said racing is “more just a hobby.”

“I never make the money back,” he said. “It’s something fun to do, something to spend money on.”

Community foundation seeking grant applicants

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN bkeeperman@shawmedia.com

Lisa Hepker, with the University of Illinois Extension, helps Lucas Jacob, 9, with a habitat scavenger hunt Wednesday as part of the summer child care OSCAR program at the Sycamore History Museum.

Sycamore schools, museum partner for summer learning

By KATIE SMITH ksmith@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – For students in Sycamore School District 427, learning doesn’t stop just because school does.

For the past nine weeks, the Sycamore OSCAR program, an after school and summer child care service, and the Sycamore History Museum have teamed up to teach kids the importance of their community.

“They usually always have an event that relates to helping them understand the purpose of the history museum here,” said Carol Meeks, a volunteer on the Sycamore History Museum board of directors.

“Sometimes it’s through tours, sometimes it’s through just exposing them to what farm life would have been like at that time.”

Children in the summer program met with members of the Sycamore History Museum and the University of Illinois Extension for the final time Wednesday. By the time they left, the fourth- and fifth-graders knew the difference between fruits and vegetables, soil and dirt, and polar and brown bears.

The program serves as an educational bridge between school years, said Angela Isom, a Sycamore History Museum intern.

“They’re always fully engaged and always ready to learn,” she said. “It goes from the classroom to more the application aspect here, when they come to the program. I would have to say that it definitely is a great supplement.”

On Wednesday, Luke Chaplan, 9, voluntarily and eagerly ate vegetables in the form of a “salad on a stick,” with his classmates.

“It was super, duper good,” he said.

Adults discovered kids were more willing to step outside their comfort zones if they were learning at the same time, U of I Extension horticulture educator Candice Miller said. Program leaders use the natural environment around them to plan their hands-on lessons.

“In the middle of the summer there’s a lot of insects to look at, so we did some scavenger hunt-type of things. We’re really lucky to have this location because we can be outside and there’s a lot to look at,” Miller said. “It’s amazing the things they try.”

DeKALB – The DeKalb County Community Foundation is seeking applicants for its fall community needs grant.

All 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations in DeKalb County are encouraged to apply, said Becky Zantout, the foundation’s grants and community needs initiatives manager.

“The grant is intended to help nonprofits address needs in the community,” Zantout said.

Areas of interest for the grant include arts and culture, health and human services, environment and animal welfare, and community development and education.

DeKalb County public organizations, such as schools, libraries and police and fire departments, also are eligible to apply for the community needs grant.

Past recipients of the grant include the Sycamore Fire Department, Safe Passage, AdventureWorks, Axletree and others.

“We’re somewhat dependent on these types of grants for specific things that we may be planning for over the next several years but could use now and don’t have the budget for.”

Paul Bafia DeKalb Park District executive director

How to apply The DeKalb County Community Grant foundation is seeking applicants for its fall community needs grant. All nonprofits and municipal departments in DeKalb County are welcome to apply. The deadline is Sept. 1.

“It’s our largest grant program, and it’s also the most broad,” Zantout said. “Many of our other grants are more specific, like they have to be focused on youth or low-income or literacy issues.”

Sycamore Child Care received a $5,000 community needs grant from the founda-

tion in May. Executive Director Kathryn Webster said the child care center is fairly reliant on outside funding such as grants.

“Especially right now, when the state isn’t paying, things like this help us stay afloat,” she said.

The center intends to use the funds for a new playground, which isn’t a typical expense, Webster said.

“When things aren’t operational, but we still need them, that is when I would turn to grants like the community needs grant,” Webster said.

The community foundation typically distributes about 35 grants in different amounts – totaling about

$150,000 – under the community needs grant program, Zantout said.

A committee with representatives from the community foundation board, who represent different areas of the county, will deliberate the requests, Zantout said.

The Genoa Park District received a $10,000 community needs grant from the foundation in 2014 to renovate its skate park.

Park district Executive Director Paul Bafia said although the district receives many smaller, one-time grants, donations and sponsorships, the DeKalb County Community Foundation grants are the most consistent.

“We always apply whenever we are eligible,” Bafia said.

“We’re somewhat dependent on these types of grants for specific things that we may be planning for over the next several years but could use now and don’t have the budget for.”

DeKalb County Forest Preserve District receives grant for trail work

By KATIE SMITH ksmith@shawmedia.com DeKALB – The DeKalb County Forest Preserve District received a $10,000 cash grant for an ongoing project that would connect local parks and forest preserves to Genoa and Kingston.

The project began in 2013 as a Genoa trail proposal to con-

nect the city with the county’s Russell Woods Forest Preserve to the west.

The $10,000 grant from ComEd and Openlands, a conservation organization serving the Chicago region, will be used to buy limestone aggregate as trail surface material, ComEd Senior Communications Specialist Linsey Godbey said in an e-mail.

“[The] area grade school, high school ... university and Kishwaukee College classes all use the Natural Resource Center at Russell Woods and will benefit from this trail project,” Godbey said. “The trail will serve all DeKalb County residents and visitors from outside of DeKalb County.”

The trail will provide visitors with access to hiking,

fishing, picnic areas and the historic 1835 Miller-Ellwood cabin.

ComEd and Openlands have given about $200,000 in Green Region grants to 23 projects throughout northern Illinois this year.

The money for each grant is used to support continuing efforts to conserve and protect the environment.

BRIEFS Community to honor atomic bomb victims

By SARA BURNETT The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – Gov. Bruce Rauner said Wednesday that he won’t lock out state workers if his administration and the largest public-employee union can’t agree on a new contract, but both sides acknowledged that they are nowhere near a deal.

The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees’ contract expired June 30, although both sides have agreed to keep workers on the job through September.

Rauner, a businessman-turned-governor who has made weakening public-worker unions a core piece of his political agenda, said “under no circumstance” would he prevent employees from coming to work if they hit an impasse. He said he’s trying to protect taxpayers by seeking concessions for a contract worth about $7 billion, or 20 percent of Illinois’ operating budget. But he said there has been little or no progress in negotiations, adding: “We’re stuck.”

“If I wanted to do a lockout ...

I would have already done it,”

Rauner said. “I hope we don’t have to take a strike, but I don’t control that.”

AFSCME spokesman Anders Lindall said Rauner’s actions “have not matched his words.”

He noted Rauner said while campaigning for governor that he would shut down the government if needed to curb union influence, and the administration recently has reached out to retired employees to ask if they’d be willing to work if needed.

“Even if there is no lockout, Gov. Rauner could try to impose his extreme demands and force employees to strike in response,” Lindall said. He also said “our union is committed to reaching an agreement at the table.”

Rauner wants AFSCME to agree to a contract similar to one reached with Teamsters Local 700. It includes a fouryear freeze on wages and a new incentive program that gives bonuses to workers based on performance or cost savings.

He said AFSCME hasn’t agreed to concessions and wants a pay increase and no changes to work rules, among other

things.

Lindall said AFSCME “has made very few and very modest proposals” and has worked to address concerns of Rauner’s administration.

AFSCME wants lawmakers to override Rauner’s veto of legislation that would block public-employee strikes and management lockouts, and to send any contract-negotiation impasses to binding arbitration. But it appears unlikely there would be enough votes in the House to do so.

Rauner called the bill “a declaration of war” on taxpayers because it would take away his authority to negotiate. He also said the “vast preponderance” of arbitrators are “bureaucrats” with ties to organized labor.

The back-and-forth came as Rauner’s office confirmed it plans to lay off at least 171 state employees.

Spokeswoman Catherine Kelly said the administration notified labor unions that the workers will be let go effective Sept. 30. She pinned the blame on Democrats who sent Rauner a budget that was about $4 billion short of revenue.

CHICAGO – A judge on Wednesday ruled that DNA evidence from the gun a Chicago police commander allegedly shoved into the throat of a suspect can be presented as evidence during his trial.

In another case drawing attention as the nation scrutinizes how police officers accused of crimes are treated by the law, Judge Diane Cannon rejected the argument that taking a swab from Commander Glenn Evans’ service weapon was an unconstitutional violation of the Fourth Amendment protections from unreasonable searches and seizures.

Man with hatchet, pellet ers will forego a roughly $1,400 gun dead at movie theater pay raise under legislation ANTIOCH, Tenn. – A man with “significant” psychological issues who was armed with a hatchet and pellet gun unleashed a volley of pepper spray at audience members inside a movie theater Wednesday before being fired at by a police officer and shot dead by a SWAT team as he tried to escape out a back door, police said.

The attacker, identified as Vincente David Montano, 29, of Nashville, was carrying two backpacks, one of which hung from his chest, and he wore a surgical mask, possibly to protect himself from the pepper spray he unleashed in large amounts during the showing of “Mad Max: Fury Road,” Metro Nashville Police spokesman Don Aaron said. He said three people

approved by the state Senate.

Legislators voted 49-2 Wednesday to reject an automatic 2 percent cost-of-living adjustment. The House voted to stop the pay hike last week.

The action comes after Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner blasted Democrats who control the Legislature for not acting to stop the hike during a budget crisis.

Democratic Senate President John Cullerton said previous court rulings make it “blatantly” unconstitutional for lawmakers to reject the increases. But he said last week, “Nobody’s gonna sue.”

Lawmakers make a base salary of about $68,000 a year. Rejecting the pay raise would save Illinois about $240,000 annually.

1 County Board to consider 1 the issue at Aug. 19 meeting LOCAL SWEET CORN 39¢ • THEATER Continued from page A1

Egyptian Theatre could open the door for other area cultural facilities to follow suit.

Still, the committee approved advancing the measure. The full County Board is expected to consider the issue at its Aug. 19 meeting.

Jennifer Diedrich, the city of DeKalb’s economic development coordinator, explained that the city has, for at least the past 25 years, provided aid to the theater for operational costs and even capital improvements.

She said the city’s fiscal 2016 budget also includes mon-

ey for the theater, separate from the money it would give along with the county. But, long term, it will conduct a study to find out if the cash infusions make financial sense.

“The way the theater is operated currently, we know is not sustainable,” Diedrich said. “The number of staff that are there, it’s just not possible to reach the full potential of the theater.”

She said if the full County Board doesn’t vote to give the county’s portion, the city won’t give any money either.

“Those were the parameters that were set up when [the city] put this in the budget,” Diedrich said.

Systems to submit application to review board for merger approval • MERGER

Continued from page A1 “During our discussions with KishHealth System, we were impressed with their desire to expand clinical innovation and breakthrough research to patients in DeKalb County and northern Illinois,” Northwestern Memorial HealthCare President and CEO Dean Harrison said in a statement.

The two groups will submit an application to the Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board in the next several weeks, said Christopher King, spokesman for Northwestern Medicine.

That application could provide additional details about terms of the deal.

There likely would be a chance for public comment on the proposal before it is considered by the review board, which could review the deal this fall, King said.

Northwestern Memorial HealthCare is the parent corporation of the Northwestern Memorial Hospital, which is one of the nation’s

top academic medical center hospitals and the primary teaching hospital for Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine. U.S. News and World Report in 2014 named it among the top 10 hospitals in the country.

Northwestern Memorial has more than 60 sites around the Chicago area, including four hospitals with 1,600 inpatient beds. It has 25,000 employees and records about 2.4 million outpatient visits a year.

KishHealth has facilities in DeKalb, Sandwich, Sycamore, Plano, Genoa, Hampshire, Waterman and Rochelle and has been adding to its roster of employee physicians.

Earlier this year, KishHealth bought the DeKalb Clinic and multiplied the size of its physician group from about 50 to about 200.

It operates the 98-bed Kishwaukee Hospital in DeKalb and Valley West Hospital, a much smaller critical access hospital in Sandwich. KishHealth had 1,466 employees and 228,049 outpatient visits, according to its 2013 annual report.

Ted Schurter for The State Journal-Register

Gov. Bruce Rauner speaks Wednesday during a news conference at the Capitol in Springfield. Rauner said he’d put in writing that he will not lock out state workers during the protracted talks on a new contract, but he said contract negotiations with the largest public-employee union are “stuck.”

DeKALB – Community members will throw flowers into the Kishwaukee River today in memory of the more than 100,000 people killed in atomic bomb attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the end of World War II. The DeKalb Interfaith Network for Peace and Justice will host the annual memorial service at noon on the College Avenue bridge overlooking the Kishwaukee River. The event will commemorate the 70th anniversary of the WWII bombings, according to a news release.

Northern Illinois University instructors and local church leaders will provide poetry readings, commentary and music.

Flowers will be available through Glidden Florist to anyone who attends, according to the release.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Abortion atrocities more important than lion deaths

To the Editor: I full well realize that not all news stories can be carried by the Daily Chronicle. However, it is interesting that there have been several articles about killing a lion, including on July 31 on the Opinions page by Connie Schultz (“Honoring the late Cecil the lion”), and then on Saturday by Farai Mutsaka of the Associated Press “Zimbabwe to seek extradition of lion killer.”

Now the story of this 13-year-old lion with a name, who few knew until his death, is a newsworthy story.

I realize I may have missed one, but I do not recall any article noting the recently well-documented cases of doctors working for Planned Parenthood negotiating the sale price of baby body parts.

Even varying in the manner of killing the infant to prevent damage to parts was discussed.

In the U.S. there are approxi-

mately a million abortions a year.

Perhaps killing and dismembering human babies is too common an event to be considered newsworthy. May God have mercy.

The Sycamore Angel Rebekahs are busy bees

To the Editor: The busy bee and the beehive represent industry and community and they teach us to work together for a common goal.

The Sycamore Angel Rebekah charter opened in 2007 and since then, members have spent countless hours raising funds and supplies necessary to help those in need in our communities. Very much like the busy bee.

In a short period of time, this Rebekah Lodge has grown to be known as the most active and productive in the area and is proud to have helped many people and organizations including Opportunity House, Safe Passage,

JDRF, Make a Wish, ACS (Making Strides Against Breast Cancer), the Illinois Breast and Cervical Cancer Program, local food pantries, animal shelters and more.

The late summer and early fall promises to be no different.

Angels will hold an inaugural 5K Walk/Run/Roll benefiting Autism Speaks at the Burlington Fall Fest on Sept. 13, as well as their sixth annual Walk With The Angels 5K for Breast Cancer Awareness in Sycamore on Oct. 3.

Each year, Burlington Fall Fest attracts hundreds to the Burlington Park for a car show, parade, music, family fun, local vendors, crafts, kids rides (including ponies and water ball), and tons of great food and beer.

The 5K Angels Speak Out For Autism will be a great addition to an already spectacular event, and they would like to encourage all to join in. Walk, run, bike or roll, this event is for everyone.

After the event, spend the day in the park enjoying the car show, tasty treats, beer garden and

festivities.

Prizes will be awarded to those who bring in the most sponsor donations, and all who pre-register will receive a free T-shirt!

Walk with the Angels 5K on Oct. 3 at the Sycamore Angels Lodge on Sabin Street will benefit Making Strides Against Breast Cancer, a division of the American Cancer Society. This walk through downtown Sycamore and Rotary Park could not be prettier and as always, snacks are served at the halfway point as well as hot soup and sandwiches for lunch when the walk is finished. Walkers can also look forward to great raffle prizes on display for only $1 a ticket. Trophies and prizes will be awarded as well.

Be sure to mark your calendars for both events so that you too can make a difference in the lives of others.

Please contact me at 815-5086809 for more information.

Republicans should blame themselves for Trump Republicans are in a funk on the eve of the first presidential-primary debate.

The party’s popularity has dipped, largely because Republican voters are souring on it. Their lack of confidence in their party surely has something to do with Donald Trump’s rise in the polls.

Bitterness between conservative groups and the Senate Republican leadership is at a peak, with the former saying the latter is devoted to keeping corporate welfare programs like the Export-Import Bank alive and committed to defunding Planned Parenthood.

The party’s low morale is partly the result of two strategic decisions its leaders have made over the past year. They chose to run an agendaless campaign to win control of the Senate in 2014, and having won it they chose to act as if their most important goal was to “prove they could govern” – that is, to enact legislation or at least get it to President Barack Obama to sign or veto.

Neither of these decisions was obviously crazy. If candidates had run on specific agendas – “If elected, I will push Bill X to replace the Affordable Care Act” – they might have disagreed with one another, Democrats might have found effective lines of attack against their ideas, and they might not have gained the substantial majorities they did. The second decision, trying to govern with Obama, looked like an alternative to potential political fiascoes.

Republicans worried that a single-minded strategy of fighting Obama risked a government shutdown that could hurt the party’s chance of winning the presidency in 2016.

But these choices also had potential disadvantages. Running without an agenda,

VIEWS Ramesh Ponnuru candidates instead raised vague expectations that, if they won, conservatives would see big victories of some sort on illegal immigration and Obamacare. Trying to advance legislation with some bipartisan buy-in would inevitably mean pushing the priorities of some corporate constituencies rather than those of voters – and thus deepening the perception that Republicans are the political arm of big business.

The strategy also was bound to run up against two immovable obstacles. First, Senate Democrats have an incentive to filibuster Republican bills so they never reach the president’s desk. That way Republicans look unproductive, and fail by the terms they themselves established. Second, conservative Republicans were likely to grow restive, and the stage would be set for a factional fight that again made the party look incompetent.

These potential drawbacks to the strategy have largely materialized.

Conservatives and swing voters who are paying attention have seen the Republican Congress act on business priorities: advancing a highway bill and getting a Trade Promotion Authority signed by the president. They also have seen them fret for months about the possibility that the Supreme Court would force them to do something about Obamacare, something Republican voters actually want, and then breathe sighs of relief that it didn’t.

Some of this activity was worthwhile – the trade bill, especially, was in the national interest – but Republicans have done little to advance attractive ideas to appeal to the voters watching them, or to make inattentive voters sit up and take notice.

They haven’t pushed bills to cut taxes or boost economic growth or cut college tuition. And of course Congress has achieved nothing on immigration.

It isn’t surprising, then, that roughly a fifth of Republican voters are flocking to Trump, a candidate who promises big, not-terribly-specific changes – but seems like he might mean it.

Republicans erred in assuming their alternatives were either trying to prove they could govern with Obama or engaging in an endless series of showdowns with him.

A third alternative would have been to advance a governing agenda of their own, ideally during the midterm campaign, on issues such health care, taxes and higher education.

That strategy wouldn’t have resulted in the enactment of a lot of Republican bills, since Democrats still could have filibustered them. But Republicans would have been standing for something more attractive than they are today – not a high bar – and making Senate Democrats pay some price for obstruction.

And maybe the party’s own voters wouldn’t be quite so heartily sick of them.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

With Illinois stuck in the second month of a budget stalemate, it’s hard to see much hope for compromise.

Hey, if our state were a baseball team, we’d be mired somewhere near the bottom of the standings.

Indeed, many veteran “players” on the current “team” just haven’t performed, have they?

And when new talent arrives on the statewide scene, the veterans have shown minimal inclination to pull together with the newcomers.

In baseball, the most successful teams build winning traditions from the minor leagues up. A good farm system teaches fundamentals and constantly feeds talented players who are imbued with a strong philosophy of teamwork to the major league club.

The result? Victories.

Fans of the St. Louis Cardinals have seen it work for decades.

Fans of the Chicago Cubs are seeing it work this year (finally).

Perhaps that’s a good analogy for the Edgar Fellows program going on this week at the University of Illinois Institute of Government and Public Affairs in Urbana-Champaign.

Forty emerging leaders are involved in the five-day leadership training program, where former Gov. Jim Edgar and IGPA experts inspire the young leaders to pursue bipartisan, interregional cooperation when dealing with the state’s major challenges.

The Class of 2015 reflects the state’s regional, political, racial and ethnic diversity. It joins three previous classes in learning about competent, ethical and solution-oriented leadership.

Among this year’s Edgar Fellows is state Rep. Tom Demmer, a Dixon Republican – one of 11 legislators in the group.

In fact, since 2012, more than 40 lawmakers have been involved – more than 20 percent of the Legislature.

We believe that bodes well for the state’s future.

Why? Just as developing young athletes pays dividends on the baseball diamond, developing young leaders should pay dividends in Illinois government, the business world and civic engagement.

And if those leaders perform as they’ve been taught, maybe our state will get the innovative, inclusive, forward-thinking leadership it needs to solve its many problems.

It’s worked for the Cardinals.

It’s working for the Cubs.

Someday, maybe Illinoisans won’t have to wait until next year for better leadership.

ANOTHER VIEW

Wealthy oligarchy dominates 2016 election The United States may be turning a corner in presidential politics. Although the election itself is more than a year away, the latest reports to the Federal Election Commission show that a wealthy oligarchy of donors has come to dominate campaign finance, particularly in the crowded Republican contest.

Fewer than 400 families are responsible for almost half the money raised in the campaign so far, according to an analysis by The New York Times. This class of wealthy patrons, some with new fortunes and others of long-standing, is throwing money into campaigns, not all of which will end happily. But the preeminence of this clan of tycoons so early in the season is not a good sign.

The post-Watergate reforms sought to limit the corrosive power of money in politics, enhance transparency and encourage candidates to raise funds from a broad base of supporters. But new vehicles that do the opposite have become available, encouraging wealthy donors to make unlimited contributions, concentrating the power of the plutocracy and overwhelming the impact of small donors.

One of the most important of these channels is the super PAC, an organization that can accept unlimited contributions.

Super PACs, which must disclose donors, are supposed to be independent of the candidates, but in fact most are not. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, in the 2012 election, all the presidential super PACs together raised about $26 million by June 30 of the year before the vote. Now, at the same point in the cycle, they have raised $258 million, nearly 10 times more.

Moreover, the super PACs dwarf the actual campaign organizations in fundraising. The total the super PACs have raised is nearly double the more than $130 million the presidential campaigns raised in the first six months of this year, the center reported. The super PACs are the tangible result of the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision that opened the floodgates to unlimited campaign giving.

The Times’ analysis of FEC and Internal Revenue Service records shows candidates are becoming dependent on a small pool of wealthy Americans. The analysis found that about 130 families and their businesses provided more than half the money raised through June by the Republican candidates and their super PACs. The Democrats also have some big-money fat-cats, but they also have a wider base of smaller donors.

The potential to warp the political system is ever-present when such large sums are poured into politics. A quick scan down the list of the biggest donors shows that many of them would be affected by government policy under a new president – tycoons who have made their fortunes in private equity, hydraulic fracturing and oil field services, technology and other businesses.

Now they want to add king-maker to their names.

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.

Illinois coach wants to change program’s tone

CHAMPAIGN – Two days after a report on allegations of mistreatment and racism in the University of Illinois women’s basketball program leveled that a former assistant coach treated players harshly, head coach Matt Bollant said he wants to change the tone.

After the season ended in March, seven former players accused Bollant and ex-assistant coach Mike Divilbiss of mistreating them and using race to try to drive unwanted players off the team, and filed a lawsuit last month.

Wednesday was the first time Bollant or any of his coaches has spoken to reporters.

Current assistant coach Tianna Kirkland, who is black, said none of the women ever mentioned concerns to her and that she never saw any racist behavior from Bollant or Divilbiss.

Bollant said Wednesday he didn’t know what drove the players’ accusations, which were called unfounded in Monday’s report by a university-hired law firm.

“I really don’t. I don’t want to speculate,” he said.

The report noted Divilbiss’ tone and language with players could be “harsh,” but not abusive.

He left the program in May under what the school has called mutual agreement and has not commented.

Bollant said he now wants the program to reflect his demeanor.

Huskies return with history of winning close games

By JESSE SEVERSON jseverson@shawmedia.com DeKALB – The Northern Illinois football team was in eight games that were either tied or were one-possession contests in the fourth quarter last season.

The Huskies won all eight.

“Honestly, I do (think winning close games is a skill) and I don’t know how to explain it,” Northern Illinois junior wide receiver Chad Beebe said at media day on Wednesday. “I think it’s a mindset when things get tough, in your mind there’s that one thing that gets you over the hump. A winning mentality is how I categorize it.”

While close wins are nothing new for the Huskies – Northern Illinois coach Rod Carey said they’ve been winning close games for years – last season was the first time in recent history they never had a blowout victory during conference play. Despite not winning any regular-season conference game by more than two touchdowns, the Huskies still rattled off a 7-1 record in the Mid-American Conference before crushing Bowling Green, 51-17, in the MAC championship.

“I think it started in the (Joe) Novak era,” junior linebacker Sean Folliard said of the close wins. “You look back through the years, we were always pulling games out in the fourth quarter.

There’s never any fear. You’re always trusting in each other and the coaches and know sooner or later, we’re going to

Talking with the players and Carey on Wednesday, there was a mixture on the theory of how and why the Huskies are able to survive with victories. Senior defensive end Perez Ford credited the

conditioning that’s done in the offseason and in practice. Senior cornerback Paris Logan said part of it is having been there before and knowing what it takes.

DeKALB – The start of football practice in the fall used to be the first time a coach could get a good feel for his team, an exciting time to see what was in store.

Now, with summer practices allowed by NCAA rules, it’s a different beast.

At Northern Illinois Media Day on Wednesday, coach Rod Carey said it makes the start of camp feel different.

“It creates a gradual build now from the time they start summer school to the time they get here,” Carey said.

“It’s a good day, but it’s the next step. It’s the deep breath before you start.”

The Huskies start their fall camp Thursday, then are scheduled to get in pads Monday. This year, they even get a full week of practice before their opener Sept. 5 at home against UNLV. Obviously, Carey likes the new world order of nearly year-round football.

“I probably haven’t thought of it in terms of what it changes,” Carey said.

Northern Illinois University men’s soccer coach Eric Luzzi, starting his seventh season with the Huskies, speaks to the media Wednesday during NIU Media Day at the Yordon Center in DeKalb.

DeKALB – The sidelines are going to be a little more crowded this year for the Northern Illinois men’s soccer team this year.

Huskies coach Eric Luzzi announced Wednesday at Northern Illinois Media Day that he was expanding his roster to 27 this season – breaking with the smaller groups he’s had in past years.

“We’ve found out the past few years only have 22 to 23 guys on the roster, if you get two or three injuries and only have 18 to 19 guys, that’s not a good situation,” said Luzzi, whose Huskies went 3-9-5 overall and 0-4-1 in the Mid-American Conference in 2014. “We really try and manage our guys – on and off the field and it’s hard. There’s five extra guys that I have to find time to connect with somehow.”

While the men’s team brings in several fresh faces – 14 new

players – the women’s team brings back plenty from the team that went 6-11-4 overall and 4-3-3 in conference. The Huskies took down Miami (Ohio) in penalty kicks to advance to the semifinals of the MAC Tournament in 2014.

“We finished the year strong and it’s something we’ve been building on since the last game,” said women’s coach John Ross, who brings back four players who scored two or more goals last season. “We saw a big change over the spring season in their ability, their comfort level, their experience. Those kids are ready to go.”

The Huskies open up the regular season at 7 p.m. Aug. 21 against Lewis University at home. They return several key young players, including goalkeeper Amy Annala and forward Lauren Gierman – both of whom made the MAC All-Freshman Team in 2014.

“For our 10 freshmen, having

a full year in the weight room is huge,” said Ross, who is coming into his fourth season. “I can already tell a difference in them coming back.”

The men’s team opens its regular season at home, hosting Green Bay at 7 p.m. Aug. 28. The Huskies also face Furman at a tournament in September and head to Creighton – both of whom Luzzi said could be ranked in the top 10 in the nation by the time NIU faces them.

It will certainly be a younger team this season for the Huskies.

Luzzi said that it was the youngest team he’s ever had in his coaching career. Having a young roster that features 18 of the 27 players being freshmen or sophomores is a mixed bag, Luzzi said.

“On the one hand, I’m excited for the youthful enthusiasm,” the seventh-year coach said. “But obviously it brings challenges like we have to teach these puppies how to do things from scratch.”

2 SPORTS • Thursday, August 6, 2015 • Section B • Daily Chronicle / Daily-Chronicle.com SPORTS BRIEFS Barnett to be inducted into Northwestern HOF

EVANSTON – Former Northwestern football coach Gary Barnett will be inducted into the school’s Athletic Hall of Fame.

Barnett arrived at Northwestern in 1992 and built a program that won back-to-back Big Ten championships. The 1995 team, with current coach Pat Fitzgerald then a star linebacker, went 10-2 and earned a trip to the Rose Bowl.

The Wildcats lost to USC in their first bowl since the 1949 Rose Bowl. The 1996 team shared the conference championship and played in the Florida Citrus Bowl. But the program declined, going winless in Big Ten play in 1998.

Barnett then left for Colorado after leading the Wildcats to a 35-45-1 record in seven years. He will be inducted Sept. 25 with four athletes and a longtime staffer.

NHL expansion bids advance to Phase 2

Las Vegas and Quebec City have advanced to the second of three phases in their bids to land NHL expansion franchises.

Bill Foley, who heads the Las Vegas bid, made the announcement on his group’s website Wednesday. Montreal-based Quebecor announced on its Twitter account its Quebec City bid also is moving forward.

Foley said Phase 2 will feature bidders providing the NHL additional information regarding their respective markets and arena plans. The bidders will also gain access to certain league-related information.

There is a third phase to the process, although it’s unclear when that will begin. Bids must also be approved by the NHL Board of Governors.

The league isn’t expected to expand until 2017-18. NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman has proposed an expansion fee of $500 million.

Walker to sign Bucks arena bill next week

MADISON, Wis. – Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker plans to sign a bill providing $250 million in taxpayer money to pay for a new Milwaukee Bucks stadium next week.

Walker’s office sent an invitation to lawmakers and others saying he plans to sign the bill Aug. 12 at State Fair Park outside Milwaukee.

The Legislature passed the arena bill on bipartisan votes in both the Senate and Assembly after team leaders threatened to leave Wisconsin if the deal did not get done.

Opponents argued that no taxpayer money should go toward an arena for a privately owned team. Current and former owners are putting $250 million toward the arena, but the taxpayer portion will grow to $400 million with interest.

Walker, a Republican presidential candidate, had been pushing for an arena deal for months.

Government demanding Armstrong’s records

AUSTIN, Texas – The federal government wants to see Lance Armstrong’s medical records from his treatments for cancer, specifically whether his doctors knew back in 1996 that he was using performance-enhancing drugs.

Court records show government lawyers subpoenaed the Indiana University School of Medicine on July 30 to provide records of Armstrong’s treatments and donations he later made to the school.

The demand came in the government’s lawsuit to recover millions of dollars in sponsorship money the U.S. Postal Service paid to Armstrong’s teams from 1998 to 2004. Penalties could approach $100 million.

Cutler, Gase pleased with progress BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush BOURBONNAIS – It is difficult, if not impossible, to find consensus on anything about these 2015 Bears, but you can start with this: Most analysts and fans alike seem to concur that if these Bears are to overachieve, it will have to be because of the offense.

Barring injury, only Roberto Garza and Brandon Marshall will be missing from last year’s starting lineup.

Even more interestingly, although the Bears’ offense is rarely viewed in this light, six of those nine returning starters – Jay Cutler, Matt Forte, Alshon Jeffery, Martellus Bennett, Jermon Bushrod and Kyle Long – have been to at least one Pro Bowl.

Strange as it seems, the Bears have as much talent on offense as almost any team in the league, but that’s talent, not production.

Even with all that talent, the Bears’ success on offense this year once again will come down to the enigma that is Cutler and his new offensive coordinator, Adam Gase.

Cutler and Gase both visited with the media Wednesday for the first time since training camp began.

In spite of all the talk about Cutler supposedly playing out the string this year in his last as a Bear, Gase said he’s pleased with what he’s seen of Cutler so far.

“His intelligence is way better than what I thought,” Gase said. “His ability to communicate with his teammates is, too, because he’s further ahead than everybody else.”

Cutler will be the first to tell you it hasn’t been easy.

on it this offseason,” Cutler said. “It’s something we need to do more.

“I know Adam likes moving the pocket. He’s been with quarterbacks that can do it and quarterbacks that can’t do it. It’s something that if you are able to do it, it makes calling plays a little bit easier because you are able to move that launch point from time to time.”

Gase wonders why he wouldn’t take advantage of a player with Cutler’s special set of skills.

“I think we all know that his athletic ability for a guy his size (6-foot-3, 220 pounds) is pretty unique; there’s not a lot of guys like him. His ability to move outside the pocket, we really like what he’s done so far, and we’ll keep growing that package.”

Gase also is excited about Jeffery and rookie running back Jeremy Langford.

He said of Jeffery, “I see a dominant guy and I’m sure you guys have seen, there are times where he looks unstoppable, and, really, we have to see how far we can take him.”

Gase sees Langford as an AP file photo Bears quarterback Jay Cutler (right) and offensive coordinator Adam additional security blanket Gase walk together June 16 in Lake Forest.

BEARS NOTES

Fox being smart with White’s injury

By KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@chicagofootball.com BOURBONNAIS – On a day when the Bears’ offense struggled, and their offensive coordinator and quarterback spoke to the media, it was hard not to focus on the continued absence of rookie wide receiver Kevin White.

“He’s got a shin. You can call it splints, call it whatever you want. You see him out here.

It’s not like we’re covering up some awful injury where he’s in a cast, a boot and crutches,” coach John Fox said following Wednesday’s practice. “We’ve got a plan for him. We’ve wanted to rest it.”

Fox said the injury, which took place in OTAs, forced the team to shut him down for what is now seven weeks because the injury “flared up.”

“He’s mad at me right now because I won’t let him practice, but we’re going to be smart,” Fox said. “He’s going to be a viable part of our football team. … It flared up. We’re trying to get it to settle down, and we’ll see where it goes.”

Alumni day: Brian Urlacher and Olin Kreutz were among the former Bears in attendance at Wednesday’s practice, along with James “Big Cat” Williams and Jim Miller. Urlacher’s presence was notable, considering the fractured relationship with the organization following the 2012 season. Fox addressed having Urlacher around the team.

“I’ve had a relationship with Brian before I came here, so I think that always helps. He and I have a friendship already. I’ve encouraged him to be around more, to come around,” Fox said. “… I like alumni people, people who have been in the seats these guys have been.”

Injury update: Michael Ola left practice on a cart with an apparent knee injury, though he was later spotted walking without crutches. Rookie tight end Brian Vogler again missed practice with a foot injury.

Alshon Jeffery (shoulder) was back at practice.

Old Bennett appears to be back

By ARTHUR ARKUSH aarkush@chicagofootball.com BOURBONNAIS – Martellus Bennett, admittedly, is on the rise.

Fresh off his first Pro Bowl, Bennett didn’t get the extension he sought from the new brass this offseason, but any concerns he’d allow it to affect his demeanor and play have been quelled.

“No. 1,” said Bennett Wednesday, when asked where he ranks among the NFL’s top tight ends. “… There’s a lot guys who have been playing well for a long time, but it’s just being consistent.”

The noticeably buttoned-up Bennett who met the media last week gave way to the laid-back, joking version we’ve come to know over the past two years.

Perhaps it was the smaller setting, or the absence of any contract questions. Or it was Bennett’s approval of the organization’s changes.

Drawing rave reviews from quarterback Jay Cutler and offensive coordinator Adam Gase for his quick processing of the

new playbook after his contract-related offseason absence – “He’s so smart. And then being able to adjust ... how physical he is in the run game and pass protection – it’s so unique. Not many tight ends you see that can do what he does,” said Gase – Bennett explained it’s not just his game that’s on the rise.

“It’s been super exciting, because I feel like they’re using me to the best of my ability in every single facet of my game,” he said. “So it’s been very fun going out there each day and seeing what’s new that they have planned for me.”

The prior regime helped him to a Pro Bowl, but last season the staff “tried draining you mentally, which really didn’t work,” Bennett said.

Now, even absent a new contract, Bennett is all smiles – about his new offense, his new coaches and teammates, and the way he’s being allowed to spread his wings on and off the field.

“Here you get freedom. It’s football, football, football, but you get enough time to be away from it and you get a chance to build relationships with the

guys,” he said.

“I showed all the guys my short film the other night.

That was cool. We’ll just sit in a room and play dominoes. …

The other thing is the coaches – I think they’re a little more down to earth. It’s been a very fun group of guys to play for and be around. It’s just very exciting to have that type of chemistry on all levels of the team.”

Bennett’s short film, “Zoovie,” about a penguin named Cosmo, even will be showed Saturday at the club’s family fest.

But Bennett won’t be watching any film of Gase’s last successful tight end, Julius Thomas. Thomas is now the NFL’s highest-paid at the position, but Bennett isn’t a fan of his game.

“I think he’s a good player, but our styles are totally different,” he said. “Same thing with any tight end in the league. …

There’s a bunch of things I do that they don’t do. Or, there are some things, well, there’s a bunch of things I do that they don’t do – it’s not the other way around.”

Indeed, the old Bennett appears to be back.

PITTSBURGH – The Cubs placed right-handed reliever Rafael Soriano on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday because of inflammation in his right shoulder.

Left-hander Clayton Richard signed as a free agent, two days after being designated for assignment, and will work out of the bullpen.

Soriano, who has 207 career saves, is 2-0 with a 6.35 ERA in six games for the Cubs after signing as a free agent June 9.

“This will give him a chance to get right and then come back strong in September,” Cubs manager Joe Maddon.

Excerpts from Northern Illinois football coach Rod Carey’s press conference

NIU’s close games in the past 10 seasons 2005 Sept. 10 – Northwestern 38, NIU 37 Sept. 24 – Akron 48, NIU 42 (OT) Nov. 5 – NIU 31, Central Michigan 28 Dec. 1 – Akron 31, NIU 30 (MAC title game)

Carey on impact of incoming freshmen: “I don’t know who they are yet. History would tell us that somewhere between three and six first-year players or true freshman are going to play and help us. That’s what history tells us.”

Carey on health of the Huskies: “We didn’t have as many surgeries this offseason as we did the year before, so that’s a good sign. Everybody – (Chad) Beebe, (Ezra) Safford, Tommy(lee) Lewis – everybody is 100-percent right now. This is the best they’ll feel before football starts.”

Carey on the MAC: “Don’t let our record fool you.

I think sometimes you can get lulled to sleep. The MAC West has been incredibly tough every year I’ve been here and it’ll be the same way this year. All the teams on our side are good. …

To me, it’s as good of a division in the country.”

Carey on returning players for Huskies: “On paper, we have a good amount back – maybe as good as there has been in my time here. But paper doesn’t mean a thing. It doesn’t mean a dang thing. We have to get on the field and do the work.”

End of spring practices does not mean 4-month break • CARIFIO Continued from page B1 “You have summer access now – two hours in the classroom, six hours in the weight room, and our weight staff handles that. It’s kind of a gradual build, that’s what changes.”

It seems like it’s the natural progression in how we treat sports. Specialization at all levels have made players into year-round, one-sport athletes from young ages.

Waiting for the high school season to start is a thing of the past. A 10-year-old can start softball in the summer and play straight through until she’s 18 with nary a break, and then keep going year-round if she makes it to the collegiate level.

It doesn’t seem like a bad

thing, either. There are benefits to multisport athletes, but there are benefits the other way, too. All specialization and year-around athletics has done is give a path to dedicated athletes who want to hone a skill.

For Carey and NIU, that means that the end of spring practice doesn’t mean a fourmonth break.

“Before, you couldn’t come in the summer – it had to be voluntary. I think its been a good thing overall,” Carey said. “I think there’s a lot of people meeting and doing those things anyways.

I think this has been a good thing for us.”

Close games come with territory in MAC • MEDIA DAY Continued from page B3 For senior center Andrew Ness, the ability for the Huskies to pull out wins last year was almost an intangible idea – like momentum.

“I don’t know how to describe it, we always find a way to win,” he said.

More than likely, the Huskies will once again find themselves in tight games when the fourth quarter rolls around this season. Carey lauded the difficulty of the MAC – more specifically, the brutal MAC West – on Wednesday. At the conference media day in Detroit on July 29, the Huskies were predicted to finish third on their side of the bracket despite winning the MAC West five consecutive seasons.

Junior quarterback Drew Hare said while tight games aren’t necessarily the plan, it comes with the territory in the MAC. “I don’t think you anticipate being in a lot of close

games,” he said. “With the conference how it is, there are a lot of good teams out there so any game could be a close game. You just never know.”

Hare was a part of tie-breaking, fourth quarter touchdowns three times last season. He found Da’Ron Brown for a 54-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter in a 48-34 win over UNLV, connected with Chad Beebe on a 18-yard score for the game-winning touchdown with six minutes left against Ohio and had a pair of 2-yard touchdown runs in the fourth quarter of a comeback win at Western Michigan.

For Hare’s center, Ness, the fourth quarter of tight games always follow the same path – excitement that eventually subsides to calmness.

“At the start of the fourth quarter, my heart is always racing,” the four-year starter said. “Once we get down to crunch time, I’m calm and know that everybody’s going to pull through.”

Carey on if the Huskies will pass more in 2015: “We get that question a lot.

I don’t know why we get that question so much. We’re like 45-1 when we run the ball more than 40 times a game. It’s sexy to throw the ball and we throw it. Any time you have a veteran quarterback, you’re going to let him do some more things. It’s a truism of football – run the ball and stop the run. We won’t veer too far from that.”

Carey on wide receivers: “The guys understand it’s a daily competition. The only one that has an exception to that rule is Tommy(lee Lewis). Tommy has earned the right to have the football here and we’re going to give it to him. The great thing is we won’t ever have to worry about Tommy letting off the gas.

He’s probably worked harder than anybody this summer.

Your 15-year-old home’s air conditioner isn’t working. And you’re growing even warmer listening as the service technician tells you it won’t be an easy, or inexpensive fix. Do you replace your unit or fix it one more time?

“Deciding whether to repair an existing central air-conditioning system, or replace it, depends on the age and repair cost of the unit. Usually equipment more than 10 years old is a replacement candidate once mechanical or refrigerant leaks start happening,” explains Shelley Smith, office manager at Dahlquist, Inc. a Sycamore-based heating, ventilation, and air conditioning company.

She adds, “Ideally, the best time to research and shop for a new air conditioner is in March or April. Customers can take their time to explore their options, before the system breaks down on a hot summer day.”

But what if your unit does fail on that hot summer day?

Are prices at their highest level now? Should you sweat it out and wait for fall?

“Right now, many air-conditioning manufacturers & utility companies are offering

cost-saving rebates to customers wanting to replace their air conditioners with high-efficiency systems” Smith says.

She adds that air conditioners don’t necessarily “go on sale” throughout the year, so customers replacing one during the peak season can still get a good deal.

Higher efficiency air conditioners are quieter, more durable, and consume less energy than models from a decade ago.

For Midwestern homeowners such as the DeKalb County area, Smith doesn’t recommend the “ultra-high efficiency” air conditioners, which are designed for year-round cooling needs.

Since air-conditioning systems vary by capacity and price, Smith advises customers to research units through unbiased sources including Consumer Reports.

For customers considering replacing their furnace, Smith advises that mid to late summer is the ideal time to begin researching heating systems.

Some customers opt to replace both systems at the same time, for added savings.

Castro has no plans to seek ADD diagnosis Polanco, McCutchen homer in Pirates’ win

White Sox fans hold up K signs after Chris Sale struck out Toronto Blue Jays’ Jose Bautista on July 6 at U.S. Cellular Field.

WHITE SOX

Ventura: Sale doesn’t need a rest

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com Whenever Chris Sale struggles, it’s something of a head scratcher.

Because of his history with fatigue or arm soreness, and because he has taken the ball for every one of his starts this season after missing the season opener, speculation that he isn’t 100 percent has made the rounds.

But Sale, who gave up seven runs against the Rays Tuesday after allowing a career-high 12 hits against the Red Sox in his previous start, says he feels fine.

Manager Robin Ventura also said Sale is fine, and sees no reason to have the All-Star left-hander miss a turn in the rotation.

“I don’t see skipping him,” Ventura said Tuesday. “I know in the past we’ve done that, but that’s with his velocity [dropping].

“That’s not what it is. I think for him, you take your chances with a guy like that.

I mean, if it’s something physical, we’d definitely do that.

We’re always going to err on the side for him to do that, but

White Sox beat Rays with walk-off walk CHICAGO – Avisail Garcia hit a three-run homer in the White Sox’s five-run first inning and had a bases-loaded walk in the 10th to give the Sox a 6-5 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday.

Garcia drew the winning walk off closer Brad Boxberger (5-6).

In the 10th, Adam Eaton singled and stole second base and advanced to third when catcher Curt Casali’s throw struck shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera in the ear, knocking him to the ground. Cabrera left the game later in the inning.

Boxberger then intentionally walked Jose Abreu and Melky Cabrera to load the bases with one out before walking Garcia.

– Wire report he doesn’t feel that way and we don’t feel that way.”

Sale (9-7, 3.52 ERA, AL-high 186 strikeouts) and pitching coach Don Cooper had a sitdown conversation in the U.S. Cellular Field stands before Wednesday afternoon’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays.

With an off day on the Sox

schedule Thursday, every pitcher in the rotation will get an extra day of rest. The Sox have another off day next Thursday.

Sale’s fastball averaged 95 mph Tuesday, according to Brooks Baseball. He didn’t use it as much (on 40 percent of his pitches) as he usually does.

Both homers he allowed were on fastballs, the pitch Ventura said he suspected the Rays were sitting on.

“It’s possible that command might not have been there, but the fastballs that he threw, they hit pretty far,” Ventura said. “He’s got other pitches. I think they were sitting fastball. They got ’em early and hit some homers, so I think he re-adjusted and went with some off-speed stuff. And I think good pitchers will be able to do that. They’ll go off of that. But when he has his really good fastball he can locate, it makes him even tougher.”

Sale took a liner off his left leg in his start against Boston Thursday, but Ventura said that’s not bothering him.

“No. He says he’s fine,” Ventura said.

PITTSBURGH – It’s called attention deficit disorder, or ADD. “I know what it is,” Starlin Castro said.

That doesn’t mean the Cubs’ shortstop wants to know anything more than that about the subject.

Throughout Castro’s career, mental lapses, moments of lost focus and inexplicable errors on routine plays have raised speculation among fans, scouts and even some in his organization – including the clubhouse – that he has a form of the common disorder.

But he hasn’t been tested for it, and doesn’t want to be, he said, even if a diagnosis and treatment could raise his performance – even as a three-month slump has called the three-time All-Star’s playing time into question down the stretch.

ADD/ADHD drugs such as the amphetamine Adderall have even been used as performance enhancers by athletes who don’t have medical

PITTSBURGH – Gregory Polanco and Andrew McCutchen homered and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Cubs, 7-5, on Wednesday night, ending the Cubs’ season-best sixgame winning streak.

Polanco led off the bottom of the first inning with a home run off Dan Haren, who was making his Cubs’ debut, to open the scoring. He then hit an RBI single to break a 4-all tie in a decisive two-run sixth inning.

– Wire report reasons to take it.

About 10 percent of major leaguers have therapeutic use exemptions for that drug – or about twice the national adult prevalence of ADHD. Castro, 25, said he doesn’t take drugs for any conditions and doesn’t like the idea of starting. In this case, he said, team officials have never asked him to be tested.

“If somebody tells me, ‘You need this, go try it,’ I’ll go try,” he said. “But I don’t

think I want to do it on my own.”

Said manager Joe Maddon: “I’m glad to hear that, actually.”

Maddon said he’s never thought about Castro’s issues in medical terms, and he’s against that kind of approach in general, anyway.

“I’m not into all this over-medicating of children and young adults,” said Maddon, who acknowledged there probably are cases where it can help. “I’m not convinced yet that this is the right tack to take. With anybody.

“Here’s a kid that’s almost got 1,000 hits. He’s 25 years old. He’s having a tough year.

But I watch his work, and his work is good. He’s done so many good things. And I think he’s been trying a little bit too hard, and I think the potential to be traded has bothered him a little bit, too.”

Whatever changes might be coming, Castro said he doesn’t worry or press.

“I don’t think I have any pressure,” he said. “I know me. I know what I can do. I know I can be out there.”

Holy

rollers Stage Coach Players address growing pains in Catholic school satire

By ADAM POULISSE

S

apoulisse@shawmedia.com

arah Morton grew up in a Catholic family and went to a private school.

So when she was cast in the role of Virginia in the latest Stage Coach Players musical, “Do Black Patent Leather Shoes Really Reflect Up?,” the same role her mother once played in the coming-ofage musical comedy set in the 1950s Catholic school system, it was her chance to do it all over again.

This time, with a different style.

“This is basically my life,” said Morton, 24. “It’s fun, though, because I get to play the exact opposite of who I was in grade school. I was the goodie-twoshoes, which is the total opposite of Virginia.”

The show kicks off Aug. 13 at Stage Coach Theatre, 26 S. Fifth St. in DeKalb, and features actors ranging from teens to senior citizens. The musical, adapted for Broadway from a 1975 book by John R. Powers, follows four young men and four young women “from second grade all the way up to marriage,” director Terri Goodman said, and all the life experiences along the way – from first confessions to sex education, and just about everything in between.

And no, you don’t have to be Catholic to get it.

Bryan Fowler, playing the lead, Eddie, sings his opening number during a rehearsal of Stage Coach Players’ “Do Black Patent Leather Shoes Really Reflect Up?” on Tuesday in DeKalb.

“I think the show itself is appealing to anyone who has grown up or is going to be growing up,” Goodman said. “I’m not Catholic, and the humor is such that you understand it. It’s not really a religion-based thing. It’s about structure.”

Roberta Maxfield is playing Sister Helen, a nun who “means business and has a ruler,” Maxfield said. This is the third time she’s playing a nun, following previous roles in “Nunsense” and “The Sound of Music.”

By the way, she’s Jewish.

“It’s funny, at the Saturday performance, I have to read Torah for a bat mitzvah, and then I’ll be doing the Lord’s Prayer in the evening,” Maxfield said.

For those who aren’t Catholic, Maxfield said, “They’ll have a really good time.”

“I think the Catholic school is an institution that people know about and have heard about,” she said.

“I know the Jewish community is excited I’m in it.

It’s acting.”

Backstage, there aren’t that many people with Catholic backgrounds in the Catholic-based play, Morton said.

“I’d say a majority of the cast isn’t Catholic,” she said, “and I think we’re doing a really good job at being respectful to Catholics while making it funny for

people of all backgrounds to enjoy.”

And the musical numbers – they’re probably nothing that would be recited in a traditional Catholic school: “Greatest Gift,” “How Far is Too Far?” “I Must Be in Love” and “Private Parts.”

Bryan Fowler, who plays the philosophical but dimwitted student Eddie, said his favorite song is “Patron Saints,” because it sounds like the Randy Newman song “You Got a Friend in Me” from the “Toy Story” trilogy.

“It’s really a meaningful show, which I haven’t had the experience of doing that much before,” said Fowler, who starts classes at Kishwaukee College the day after the show closes on Aug. 23. “I think it’s really deep and profound in the sense it follows the lives of these kids growing up and maturing into young adults, and adults eventually.”

Morton said she enjoys the song “Mad Bomber” because it’s Virginia’s showcase. She also liked the grand finale “Thank God,” because “all the voices we have in the show come together beautifully for that one.”

“Even if you’re someone who isn’t really religious, I still suggest you come out and see it because it’s just a funny show,” Morton said. “There’s a lot of humor that anyone can understand.”

Jill McCormick will sing a McCormick medley of songs from “The Fantasticks,” “Summertime” from Gershwin’s “Porgy and Bess” and close with the theme song of Rogers and Hammerstein’s “Oklahoma.”

BRIEFS Jan Bach wins national composition contest

Jan Bach, Northern Illinois University Distinguished Research Professor Emeritus in the School of Music, won the $5,000 first prize in the choral composition contest sponsored by Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, a national music fraternity.

Bach’s “Clink,” a drinking song for men’s chorus and piano with words

by Chicago poet Eugene Jan Bach Field, stood atop 114 entries to the contest. Judges included Samuel Adler (Juilliard), Carlyle Floyd (opera composer) and Keith Lockhart (conductor of the Boston Pops).

John Mongiovi, the fraternity’s outgoing national president, presented the award to Bach during the triennial convention’s July 11 banquet in New Orleans.

Men of Song, the fraternity’s male choir, sang “Clink” during the event.

The banquet also lauded 83-year-old jazz pianist Ellis Marsalis Jr., who was given the “Man of Music” award in recognition of his long service as a jazz performer and music educator.

He is the father of Wynton, Branford, Delfeayo and Jason Marsalis, all wellknown jazz musicians who grew up in New Orleans.

Opening the concert is Richard Bowles‘ contemporary march “Burst of Flame.” Bowles was long-time director of the University of Florida marching band. He has written more than 400 original pieces of music and arrangements for band. Henry Fillmore’s march “Rolling Thunder” will feature the trombone section with this fast and furious circus screamer.

Robert Jager’s “Esprit de Corps” is based on “The Marines’ Hymn” and is a kind of fantasy-march, as well as a tribute to the United States Marine Band.

The patriotic strains of “Finlandia” recall the strong heritage of the Finnish people during Russian

oppression. “Pixar Movie Magic” and the music created for these films is an integral part of their popularity and charm.

The musical “Cabaret” is set in the tumultuous city of Berlin just before Hitler’s rise to power. The main action revolves around a cabaret performer and an American writer who takes her in after she is kicked out of the Kit Kat Club where she performs.

And Karl King, known primarily for his memorable marches created this delightful little dance piece with “Broadway One-Step.”

A great contrast will be heard in Johann Strauss Jr.’s “Blue Danube Waltz” and Richard Wagner’s mas-

terpiece of melodrama “Elsa’s Procession to the Cathedral.” And fiery Latin/Spanish flair will be played in “Bandolero” and “España Rhapsody.”

Closing the program is Edwin Franko Goldman’s greatest hit, his 1922 “Chimes of Liberty,” which is considered one of the most lively and tuneful marches ever written.

Members of the band are collecting canned food to assist local food pantries, and ask the audience to help by bringing canned food to donate. Donations can be left at the edge of the stage.

Admission is free. Bench seating is available or bring a lawn chair or blanket.

Art Box features photography exhibit “Coming Out of the Sun,” photographs

Cast named for ‘Fiddler on the Roof Jr.’

Art at the Barn will be held from noon to 4 p.m. Sunday on the grounds of the Joseph F. Glidden Homestead and Historical Center in DeKalb.

Glidden Homestead hosts Arts at the Barn art sale Whether you’re looking for that perfect art piece or just looking, don’t miss Art at the Barn on the grounds of the Joseph F. Glidden Homestead and Historical Center from noon to 4 p.m. Sunday.

Nearly 20 local artists will show and sell their work.

Items include sculpture, jewelry, painting, quilting, fiber arts and more.

Arts at the Barn is part of the Glidden Homestead’s 2015 season, Icons of Innovation.

On the National Register of Historic Places, the home and barn of Joseph F. Glidden are preserved to tell the story of the invention of barbed wire. Glidden received the patent for “The Winner” barbed wire on Nov. 24, 1874. The site also includes a working, on-site blacksmith shop similar to the one once in downtown DeKalb where Glidden’s collaborator, Phineas Vaughan, worked.

The homestead will be open for tours, as well. Visit and tour the home where Joseph Glidden and his family lived when he created his most famous invention, see the blacksmith shop, and walk where Glidden walked.

From here, Glidden shaped

the world. Come be inspired to shape the world too.

Admission is $4 an adult and free for children younger than 14. Admission also is free for Glidden Homestead members. The Glidden Homestead is a participant in the Blue Star Museums Program, offering free admission to active-duty military service members and their families through Labor Day. A full season of programs highlighting “Icons of Innovation” continues at the Glidden Homestead through December. Special programming is presented on Sundays throughout the season. A complete program listing can be found at www. gliddenhomestead. org/ events.html.

The Glidden Homestead, located at 921 W. Lincoln Highway, is open on the second and fourth Sunday of the month from noon to 4 p.m., from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Tuesdays, or by special arrangement.

Admission to the art show is free.

Children’s Community Theatre’s Penguin Project, which puts children and young adults at center stage, will present “Fiddler on the Roof Junior,” Sept. 10 to 13 at Sycamore High School.

“After three straight years of shows based on classic Disney movies, our performers told us that they were ready for a new challenge and we hit upon the idea of this Broadway classic,” Penguin Project director Tracey Busby said in a news release. “It is a wonderful story filled with beautiful music. It has truly brought out the best in our cast.”

Busby is assisted by two assistant directors, Lynnae Ihm and Jeff Hall, and music director Kyle Schneider.

What makes that cast unique is that every role in the show is performed by a child or young adult who has some sort of disability (autism, Down Syndrome, cerebral palsy, etc.).

Nearly all of those individuals are assisted by a peer mentor.

Those artist mentor pairs have been working together since May preparing for the show, with each learning every song, dance and line, so the mentor can step in and assist their artist as needed.

“It’s an incredible feat of teamwork,” Joe King, CCT’s Penguin Project coordinator, said in the release.”

“Fiddler on the Roof,” tells the story of a poor Russian farmer who struggles with balancing the traditions of his village with changing life in a small Russian village just before the revolution. Songs featured in the production include “Tradition,” “Sun Rise, Sun Set,” and “If I were a Rich Man.” Headlining the show as Tevye is Jacob Ihm of DeKalb, a veteran of all five previous Penguin Project shows. His character is a likeable, hardworking, pious man trying to raise five daughters according to the traditional values that have defined life in his village for generations. By his side is his wife, Golde, played by Haley Tyrrell of Sycamore (anoth-

Wife suffers increasing pain from man’s verbal attacks Dear Abby: I have been married to “Ken” for 10 years. He is a successful business owner. It has been a struggle to stay married to him because he has control issues and when he doesn’t get his way, he begins a verbal assault on his victim -- usually me.

He has no friends because he runs them off, claiming they did him wrong (not true), and his employees don’t like him and talk badly about him behind his back. They stay because he pays well. He uses his money to control people.

I love Ken, and life can be normal at times, but once he thinks I’m getting out from under his thumb, his destructive behavior begins. He treats me like his worst enemy. The

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips pain is becoming unbearable.

One minute he tells me he loves me, and the next he is punishing me for not coming home from the store on time.

I researched online and learned he has many of the traits of a narcissist. It scares me because he doesn’t know he has a problem. He thinks the rest of the world is messed up instead of him.

How can I approach him in a way that won’t send him over the edge? When I say anything to him he thinks is an attack, he comes back at

me viciously. I don’t know whether to stay, hoping he’ll see the light one day, or get out before I’m emotionally damaged beyond repair. –

Broken in Texas Dear Broken: Your husband

may have a personality disorder, but YOU are a victim of emotional and financial abuse. Much as you might want to, you can’t “fix” him because he appears to be comfortably in denial about having a problem. It is important, however, that you get some help for yourself.

Contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline and talk to someone there about what has been going on (thehotline.org, (800) 799-7233).

They can help you formulate

a safe plan of escape, should you need one.

Next, consult a lawyer about what your rights are as a wife in the great state of Texas. If you can find out what the marital assets are, do that as well -- but do it quietly, because if your husband realizes, he will likely try to move/hide them or retaliate to get you back under his control. I don’t have to tell you how unhealthy his behavior is, but it may take your leaving to make him take a look at himself.

Dear Abby: A bus station I was waiting in had two clearly marked men’s and women’s single restrooms. What do you say or do when the women’s bathroom is occu-

pied and there are two women waiting ahead of a man to use the men’s restroom? Who has priority for the men’s room in this case? The two women ahead of me in line, or me, the male who came after them?

I’d like to point out that they were young women who were clearly not in an emergency. –

tient of mine once lost a dog and was grieving that loss.

When I recommended that he get a new dog, he said he felt it would be “disloyal.”

I didn’t understand that. I said that I bet the dog he lost would have wanted him to be happy. I told him that my brother-in-law had always had a golden retriever. A new golden puppy arrived in his home shortly after each death. Each new golden puppy was a new beginning for him. And for each of those golden puppies, he was their first beginning.

Raise over double with Mourning death of a beloved pet quite a normal reaction a good hand ASK DR. K Dear Dr. K: My beloved dog passed away a few months ago after years of loving companionship. My friends think I should be over his death by now. Are they right?

Dear Reader: There’s a reason dogs are called man’s (and woman’s) best friend: They offer unparalleled companionship and unconditional love. Especially unconditional love. That love is encapsulated in the wonderful prayer: “Lord, help me to become the person that my dog thinks I am.”

For most dog owners, a dog is a cherished member of the family. As such, the grief associated with the loss of a canine companion can be just as intense as losing a human

Anthony L. Komaroff companion. As well-intentioned as your friends may be, they may not understand the depth of your loss.

Many non-pet-owners don’t realize how strong the dog-owner bond can be.

Others simply can’t fathom it and may even belittle your feelings. It is important to acknowledge your grief when your dog passes away – whether other people do or not.

Dogs live an average of 10 years. That means that even the longest-lived dogs won’t span a human’s lifetime.

It is normal to experience

feelings of grief, possibly quite intensely and for a long time, after the death of a pet.

Some of the tips below may be helpful.

• Reach out. If you know someone else who has lost a well-loved pet, talk with him or her about your loss. Many veterinary schools offer petloss support hotlines and may be able to recommend support groups as well. Pet Partners (www.petpartners.org) offers links to other groups and resources associated with pet loss and bereavement.

• Mourn the loss. Be good to yourself. Do what feels comforting, and allow yourself time to recover from the loss.

Express your feelings. Hold a memorial service or funer-

• Seek help if you need it.

It’s normal to feel some ongoing sadness about the absence of your pet. But if your grief continues, undiminished, for longer than six to 12 months and interferes with your ability to function, consider talking to a mental health professional.

He’s never totally drunk, but his reactions are altered.

TODAY – The sky’s the limit. Staying informed will give you the edge over any competition you encounter. Balance between your personal and professional lives will keep you on target.

A calm approach will help you find workable solutions to any problem.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – You will be questioned and should prepare fully if you intend to speak up. What you have to offer, when presented with poise and intelligence, will result in success.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Unscrupulous people will be happy to take your cash. Pursue beneficial financial opportunities, but keep the details between you and a trusted adviser or handle matters personally.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – You will feel used if someone asks you to take care of his or her responsibilities. Don’t say yes if you feel you aren’t going to benefit from the request.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Changes in personal and professional relationships will be unexpected and unnerving. Use your intuition to help direct your energy wisely. It’s vital that you make good choices.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Don’t be too trusting when it comes to your personal dealings. Someone you trust with important information will try to use the knowledge you offer to his or her own advantage. Be discreet.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Be good to yourself. A day of pampering will help to take the edge off of a turbulent situation. Subtle self-improvements will give your confidence a boost.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Think before you blame someone else for your problems. If you reassess your current situation, you will discover that your stubborn streak has contributed to your current predicament.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Love is on the rise. Don’t be afraid to open your heart and share your feelings. Favors you ask for will be granted, and joint ventures look promising.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Your life will be less stressful if you get your financial particulars in order. Pare down your expenses and start saving instead of spending. Being mindful of your indulgences will help cut costs.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Stop procrastinating. Being afraid of what lies ahead will paralyze you. Deal with any issue you face boldly if you want to find your way to the finish line.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Rely on yourself. Develop one of your promising ideas and ask others about marketing strategies or funding possibilities. Keep in mind that nothing ventured means nothing gained.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Don’t trust others when you should be instead trusting in your abilities. Insecurity and self-doubt are best put aside if you want to move forward. Put your positive attributes to use.

Concerned: The guy you are dating has a drinking problem and is in a state of denial. Stop seeing him and encourage him to seek professional help for his alcohol addiction. He shouldn’t be driving under the influence. I fear for his safety, but more for your safety, and the safety of all the automobile occupants in Goshen. An arrest might “sober” him up!

Absolutely refuse to be a passenger in his car after he has consumed alcohol.

Dr. Wallace: Please answer my questions. I need to know. What exactly are sexually transmitted diseases and how does a person get one? – Nameless, Jackson, Mississippi

Nameless: Sexually transmitted diseases, or STDs, are spread through sexual contact with someone who is already infected. They are caused by bacteria or viruses that live in the human body.

Some of these diseases, such as HIV, also are spread through the sharing of needles. You can get an STD if you have sex only one time and you can get an STD more than once. STDs can be spread from male to male, female to female, female to male and male to female. More information can be found at your local library.

CROSSWORD

Katherine Mansfield, an author from New Zealand who died in 1923, said, “The pleasure of all reading is doubled when one lives with another who shares the same books.”

The pleasure of all bridge playing is doubled when one lives with another who shares the same bidding and defense agreements.

We are studying responder’s raising of partner’s major with a good hand after righty throws in a takeout double.

Yesterday, I mentioned that a response of two no-trump shows four or more trumps and game-invitational values.

With a game-force, responder jumps to three no-trump. (It is possible to combine the two, responding two no-trump with game-invitational values or more. Then three no-trump can have a different meaning, perhaps a pre-emptive raise to game with a side-suit defensive trick. Discuss this with your partner.)

In this deal, South ends in four spades. What should he do after winning West’s heartqueen lead?

South is faced with a potential loser in each suit. If a trump is led immediately, West will win with the ace and play another heart, dooming declarer to defeat. But if a diamond is led before trumps are touched, the contract makes. East wins with his ace and plays back a heart, but South wins the trick, plays a club to dummy’s king, and discards his heart loser on the diamond king. Then trumps are drawn as quickly as possible. Declarer’s 10 tricks are four spades, two hearts, one diamond, two clubs and an eventual club ruff in dummy.
