TODAY’S QUESTION Shaw Media file photo

State’s Attorney Rick Amato returns a phone call on his first day in office Dec. 1 at the DeKalb County Courthouse in Sycamore.

State’s attorney unsure whether to fight McCullough’s request

By STEPHANIE MARKHAM smarkham@shawmedia.com

SYCAMORE – The State’s Attorney’s Office is still investigating into whether it will change positions on the 2012 murder conviction of Jack McCullough, Assistant State’s Attorney James Walsh said during a hearing Monday.

McCullough, 76, of Seattle, was convicted of the 1957 kidnapping and murder of 7-yearold Maria Ridulph and sentenced to life in prison.

He was freed in April after former DeKalb County State’s Attorney Richard Schmack concluded that FBI reports from the time of the girl’s disappearance, combined with new evidence showing McCullough placed a collect call from Rockford that evening, proved that McCullough had an alibi.

His conviction was vacated and charges against McCullough were dismissed – although not without the possibility they could be reinstated – by DeKalb County Judge William Brady.

Brady addressed the motion to bar the State’s Attorney’s Office from changing positions under current State’s Attorney Rick

Amato on Monday. He said the burden would be on the state to present new evidence, not just a new opinion.

“Let’s say he walked into the police station and confessed; how can I stop them from changing their position?” Brady asked. “They may have to present new evidence as to why they are changing positions.”

Russell Ainsworth, an attorney with the Exoneration Project at the University of Chicago Law School who is representing McCullough, said the state would not be inconsistent in changing positions if it were based on new evidence.

Ainsworth also submitted a list of three witnesses, including McCullough, who will testify during an April 6 evidentiary hearing for his certificate of innocence. Other witnesses will include Nancy Steblay and Jan Edward Swafford, Ainsworth said.

A certificate of innocence would clear McCullough of the crime once and for all, and could entitle him to compensation from the state of Illinois for false imprisonment.

Ainsworth said he would like to go forward with presenting evidence in favor of his client’s innocence regardless of the position of the State’s Attorney’s Office.

Referendum asks voters for tax increase to fund services

By STEPHANIE MARKHAM smarkham@shawmedia.com

Declines in state and federal grant funding have taken a toll on the DeKalb County Health Department, Director Lisa Gonzalez said.

Grant funding, which accounts for 40 percent of the department’s budget, has decreased by 18 percent since 2008.

Taxes currently account for 23 percent of the department’s budget, while fees make up 36 percent. As a result of decreased grant funding, the department has reduced its workforce by 24 percent since 2010 and eliminated or reduced several programs and services, Gonzalez said.

Well child clinics have been eliminated, while HIV/sexual disease prevention services, family case management programs, and programs to prevent heart disease, cancer and diabetes are offered at a reduced capacity, she said.

“We had H1N1 back in 2009, or really [with] any communicable disease outbreak that we would have to respond to, we’re pulling in all people,” she said. “We’re using the clerks, we’re using the nurses, we’re using the environmental folks to respond to that emergency.”

Voters will decide in April whether a tax increase should go to support the health department, which has reduced staffing and services while faced with declining grant funding.

If passed, the referendum on the ballot would generate about $500,000 a year through a property tax rate increase that county officials said would cost taxpayers $9.57 for each $100,000 of equalized assessed value.

This means the owner of a $150,000 home would pay about $15 more each year to the county to fund public health services. The average tax per acre of farmland would increase by 11.5 cents an acre.

When the issue came before the DeKalb County Board in November, the referendum was approved by an 18-6 vote.

Among the dissenters was County Board Vice Chairman Tracy Jones, R-District 1.

Jones said he voted against putting the referendum on the ballot because he did not want to endorse another tax increase.

“We’re taxing people to death,”

Jennifer Heck gives her daughter, Quinlyn, a kiss as Quinlyn gets her finger pricked for a blood test during a health appointment Friday at the DeKalb County Health Department.

Jones said. “People are moving out of the county already because the taxes are too high. Even if it’s a good cause, the government needs to find a way to get along.”

Jones said that although the health department provides great services, he does not believe a tax increase is the answer.

“You can find services that are needed all across government,” he said. “We just can’t do it all.”

Despite concerns about an increase in taxes, a group called the Citizens for Public Health Committee has started organized support for the referendum.

Co-Chairwoman Jane Lux, a former director of the health department for 35 years, said the committee has been visiting groups throughout the county, distributing information and getting the message out to urge people to vote.

“In the 50-year history of the health department, we’ve never had a referendum to increase property taxes,” she said.

Lux said people in the community

have generally been supportive of the tax increase once they understand the scope and relevance of public health services.

“You may not realize, but public health affects everyone,” she said.

“From inspecting restaurants to preventing disease.”

Lux also said the grant-funded services, such as maternal and child health programs, are at greatest risk for elimination.

Gonzalez said one of her biggest concerns about continuing to reduce staff is that it restricts the department’s ability to respond to a public health emergency.

Even with increased tax dollars, she said, the department would continue applying to every possible grant and looking at further ways to contain costs and bring in revenue. “[The referendum] is not to add staff; it’s not to add services or programs,” she said. “It’s really to sustain what we’re currently doing at the level that we’re currently doing it.”

SYCAMORE

Planning board OKs Meijer design

By STEPHANIE MARKHAM smarkham@shawmedia.com

SYCAMORE – A Rockford-based development company is another step closer to building a Meijer supercenter in Sycamore with approval Monday from the city’s planning commission.

After hearing concerns from residents living near the proposed development, commissioners voted, 8-0, Monday in favor of the plans by First Midwest Group. Commissioner Nathan Schwartz abstained, and commissioners Marvin Barnes, Michelle Schulz, Kevin Buick and Penny Carter were absent.

The Sycamore City Council will vote on final approval of a special-use permit for the store during its Monday meeting.

City Manager Brian Gregory said the development would be in one lot of the Sycamore Crossings property located at the northwest corner of DeKalb Avenue and Peace Road, which the city annexed in 2006. Another lot would be dedicated for future water drainage.

Sycamore Crossings includes about 65 acres of commercially zoned property and 17 acres of residential property, mainly houses along Anjali Court, Gregory said.

The project would consist of the 193,000-square-foot store and a proposed 688 parking spots, Gregory said. Although the size of the store requires 857 spaces, the city anticipates fu-

Sam Buckner for Shaw Media

Sycamore City Manager Brian Gregory goes over issues on water retention management for the Meijer supercenter development during Monday’s meeting at the Sycamore Center, 308 W. State St. ture commercial developments from First Midwest Group that could share parking, he said.

Gregory said Sycamore Crossings is likely to see more than 400,000 square feet of commercial retail space.

“At the end of the day, you want the appropriate number of parking spaces, but we don’t want a sea of parking, especially if it’s not utilized, as it’s not aesthetically and visually very attractive,” he said.

The plans also include a 6-foot fence and row of trees be-

hind the store as a barrier to the residences along Anjali Court.

Ron Davis, a Sycamore resident living on Anjali Court, shared his concerns with commissioners Monday, including that the proposed fence was too short.

“I’m not sure how much a 6-foot fence is really going to disguise much,” he said. “I’m 6-foot-3; I’m going to be staring over it in a heartbeat. So in my opinion, it should probably be 10 feet.”

Davis also said he does not

believe there is room for another grocery store in Sycamore, with several area grocery stores already competing for business.

Commission Chairman Bill Davey said allowing businesses to sink or swim based on support from consumers is how capitalism works. Davey also said homeowners in Sycamore Crossings knew a large commercial development would eventually be in the works.

“I don’t think it’s our responsibility to tell them they can’t make a living in our com-

munity; it’s up to them, and the community will vote with their dollars,” Davey said. “If they win, they’ll win. If they don’t they’ll go out of business, and that’s the way things happen.”

Lawrence Engelsman, a Sycamore resident living on Brock Circle south of the proposed store, also shared his concerns with commissioners.

Engelsman said his view from his home looking north would be the loading area, and he asked why the proposed line of trees did not extend all the way down. He also asked about possible light pollution from the store to nearby homes.

Michael Mondus, executive vice president at SPACECO Inc. site planning and engineering company, said future developments in other lots of Sycamore Crossings would have to individually include plans for barriers.

“You have to understand this is a piece of a larger development,” he said. “There is going to be more retail development south of us, where the delivery area will be blocked by another building.”

Mondus also said Meijer uses LED light fixtures, and there would not be any light spillover into nearby homes.

The City Council is scheduled to vote on the proposal during its 7 p.m. Monday meeting in the Council Chambers of the Sycamore Center, 308 W. State St.

City documents also indicate that the project is not economically feasible without the TIF investment.

The due diligence period of Barnes’ purchasing agreement required an expedited response from the council for the project to move forward.

Some concerns were raised about the declining value of downtown properties.

Jacobson said that there is some fear in using a downtown building for a nonretail business since TIF funds are meant to make the downtown area a retail tax generator.

“If the reality is that buildings are worth less in value than we are going to put into them as a community, then there’s got to be a discussion about,” Jacobson said. “If they have no value,

then at what point can we look at incentivizing them?”

In response, City Manager Anne Marie Gaura said that now is the time to invest in the downtown area, while TIF funding still is available and projects like Cornerstone are becoming possible.

“This is creating an energy and excitement that people want to be in downtown,” Gaura said. “This is very different from Cornerstone, so this opens the door to businesses that don’t fit that mold. This is an opportunity to reinvest in a long-term business in the community.”

Barnes said he is tentatively planning to move into the building by November.

DeKALB – After the unanimous approval of the $7.5 million Cornerstone project last month, the City Council approved a $1.2 million downtown revitalization effort during their Monday meeting.

Cohen Barnes, owner of Sundog IT at 444 E. Hillcrest Drive in DeKalb, wants to upgrade the former Moxie building at 230 E. Lincoln Highway, which has been vacant for two years, and move his growing company into it.

To do this, he requested $400,000 in tax increment financing dollars.

The project was approved 7 to 1, with 1st Ward Alderman David Jacobson voting no.

The renovation plans to draw businesses downtown by offering commercial space on the first floor. Sundog IT would operate on the second floor of the building, but its goal is to grow enough to make use of the entire property.

Some of the proposed renovations to the more than 8,000-square-foot property will include a new facade that will feature windows on the second floor, a new roof, an elevator and a heating, ventilation and air conditioning upgrades.

DeKalb Economic Development Planner Jason Michnick said that if the costs of these renovations are below $1.2 million, the city would donate a third of that amount instead of $400,000.

dzimmerman@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – Police said a Cortland woman who caused a head-on collision on Peace Road early Sunday was driving a stolen vehicle and now faces multiple charges, including her fifth driving under the influence charge, court records show.

DeKalb County Judge Robbin Stuckert set bond at $50,000 Monday for Nichole R. Senatre, 32, of the first block of South Prairie Street in Cortland. She would be required to post $5,000 bail and be fitted with an electronic home monitoring device to be released.

In court, Senatre said that she would not be able to post $5,000.

In addition to the aggravated DUI charge, Senatre also faces charges of

According to a news release from the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office, Senatre was driving a 2016 Hyundai Accent south on Peace Road when her vehicle crossed into the northbound lane and collided head-on with a northbound 2014 Nissan Sentra, the driver of which was taken to Kishwaukee Hospital, where she was treated for a fractured sternum, according to court records.

Senatre ran away before the police arrived, but she later returned with a plastic bin containing baggies that tested positive for heroin and other drug paraphernalia, including a broken glass tube and hypodermic needle,

court records show.

The Hyundai that Senatre was driving had been reported stolen by a man from Delray Beach, Florida, who was renting the vehicle from Hertz. The man told police Senatre stole the keys while he was asleep and he had not given Senatre permission to drive the car, court records show.

While Senatre claimed she was not driving at the time of the crash, her injuries, including a broken left toe and signs that her seat beat had been across her left shoulder, suggested she was driving, police said in court records.

Charles Criswell of the DeKalb County Public Defender’s Office said he planned to file bond reduction motion on Senatre’s behalf Thursday. Senatre’s next hearing is set for April 7.

By MICHAEL TARM The Associated Press

CHICAGO – The U.S. attorney in Chicago who oversaw the hush-money case of former U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert and who helped focus federal scrutiny on local police resigned Monday, lamenting in an open letter that “at no moment” during his 3½-year tenure “did the gun violence abate” in the nation’s third-largest city.

Zachary Fardon resigned from the post that’s widely seen as the second-most powerful job in Chicago, next to the mayor, three days after his new boss at the U.S. Department of Justice, Jeff Sessions, asked 46 prosecutors held over from the President Barack Obama’s administration to step down.

Fardon felt pressure from the start to make stemming violence his top priority, and pressure built as killings spiked – hitting a 19-year high in 2016 with 762 homicides, more than New York and Los

CHICAGO – A judge is allowing two of four people charged in the videotaped beating of a mentally disabled man to be represented by private attorneys.

The Cook County Public Defender’s Office had requested that the office not be assigned to all four because doing so could pose a conflict of interest. On Monday, Judge William H. Hooks appointed private attorneys for 18-year-old Tesfaye Cooper and 19-year-old Brittany Covington.

The state’s attorney’s office said the judge has yet to decide who will represent Jordan Hill and that Tanishia Covington will be represented by the public defender’s office.

The five-page letter Fardon handed to reporters didn’t directly criticize Trump or Sessions. But it alluded to questions about the new ad-

Trump administration considers rivers project

CHICAGO – Seven locks and dams on the Mississippi and Illinois rivers are under consideration by President Donald Trump’s administration in his stated push to make the nation’s infrastructure “second to none.”

Representatives from Illinois and four other Midwest states are working to make sure the river projects, as well as the ecological restoration efforts tied to them, become a priority, the Chicago Tribune reported.

“We need to make sure that we’re prepared for (it) if circumstances align; it has a chance to get implemented,” said Dru Buntin, executive director of the Upper Mississippi River Basin Association, a group formed by governors to coordinate river-related policies and work with

ministration’s commitment to Chicago police reforms in the wake of a Department of Justice report released in the waning days of Obama’s presidency that found officers too often used lethal force.

The negotiation of a court-enforced agreement between the city of Chicago and the Department of Justice laying out a detailed police reform plan was critical to building a culture of integrity in the police department, Fardon said.

“It’s past time to give our police officers what they need to succeed,” he wrote. He added a court-enforced plan “is the only way that will happen.”

Fardon, 50, described studying data and law enforcement methods of combating violence after becoming U.S. attorney, saying he was “horrified and confused ... by the constant drumbeat” of deaths, especially of young people caught in the crossfire.

But he wrote: “At no moment during those three and a half years did the gun vio-

Budget crisis may force drug treatment center to close

JACKSONVILLE – A central Illinois drug treatment center that’s been operating for 49 years might be the latest casualty of the state budget crisis as its executive director said it may be forced to close within weeks.

Fardon for years has said there are limits to what U.S. prosecutors can do to reduce violent crime, saying poverty and other social ills underpin the problem. He has pointed to his prosecution of gangs and drug dealers, as well as a stress on bringing federal gun charges, as proof his staff did all it could to tamp down violence.

Fardon on Monday broached half a dozen proposals he said could help.

One, he wrote, was having the FBI, DEA and ATF work under a single command structure – possibly in a pilot program only in Chicago – to streamline bids to fight violent crime. He also noted street-gang attacks are often provoked by online threats, saying one idea is to curb access to social media of those with criminal gang ties.

“I recognize that First Amendment issues come into play, but let’s test those limits,” he said.

He said the center with 32 adult inpatient beds will close in April and all 69 employees at the center and those who treat prison inmates around Illinois will be laid off if the budget crisis isn’t resolved.

The congressman’s spokeswoman, Stephanie Gadlin, confirmed that Carolyn Rush died Monday morning. Rush’s office said she died of congestive heart failure at the University of Chicago Hospital with the congressman and her children at her bedside.

Rush said in a statement that he’s lost “my best friend, the love of my life, my confidant and my best half.”

The couple was married for 36 years and had a blended family of seven children, including one son who is deceased, and 11 grandchildren.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Boasberg last week rejected Tillerson heads to Asia with N. Korea tensions high the request of the Standing WASHINGTON – Secretary of State Rex Tillerson plunges this week into the increasingly volatile situation in North Asia with visits to Japan, South Korea and China, the region’s central players for dealing with North Korea’s missile launches and nuclear tests. Complicating the mission are Chinese concerns about how the U.S. has responded so far.

Beijing strenuously objects to the initial deployment to South Korea of a U.S. missile defense system. One of Tillerson’s chief tasks will be to assuage Asia’s biggest country and arrange a much-anticipated visit by Chinese President Xi Jinping to the United States.

Tillerson’s four-day trip will be closely watched for signs of how the Trump administration will approach the escalating tensions with North Korea, whose leader has disregarded international appeals to disarm and accelerated weapons development.

U.S. District Judge James – Wire reports

Gorsuch’s record on immigration mixed The ASSOCIATED PRESS If Neil Gorsuch wins confirmation to the Supreme Court, he could cast the deciding vote on President Donald Trump’s travel ban against immigrants from certain countries. But it’s far from certain how he would vote.

According to an Associated Press review of Gorsuch’s rulings, he has not written extensively about immigration policy during a decade on the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

And the few rulings he has been involved in do not reveal how he might decide if given the opportunity to consider an immigration ban.

Many of the cases involved people challenging their prison sentences for returning to the U.S. illegally after having been deported. He has often been deferential to immigration authorities, but also has sided with immigrants.

“His record on immigration is a mixed bag, so it’s hard to predict how he would rule on any challenge to the executive order,” said Melissa Crow, legal director for the American Immigration Council, which challenged Trump’s original ban.

That order, which would have banned people from seven majority Muslim counties, was put on hold last month by a federal appeals court, but Trump signed a new version March 6. That one removed Iraq from the list and eliminated a provision to give priority to religious minorities in allowing immigrants in.

The new order is to take effect Thursday, pending the outcome of legal challenges. It would not affect current visa holders but would bar new visas for people from Iran, Syria, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen and Libya. And it would temporarily shut down the U.S. refugee program.

There have been eight justices on the court since the

Supreme Court Justice nominee Neil Gorsuch, escorted by former New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte, arrives for a meeting on Capitol Hill on Feb. 6 in Washington. death of Justice Antonin Scalia last year. So for now there’s the possibility of a tie vote, which means the lower court ruling would stand.

If Gorsuch makes the ninth vote, which way would he go?

While his rulings on major immigration policy are limited, they do offer insight into his thinking.

In a 2013 case, he wrote, “No doubt, we can and will strike down regulations that defy Congress’ statutes or the Constitution’s guarantees. We do not, however, amend, revise or undo administrative regulations just because they may not be to a litigant’s liking or our own.”

“Unless some violation of law is involved, the business of deciding the sometimes hard, often fine and nearly always contestable questions of immigration policy belongs to the legislature and executive, not the courts.”

Michael Dorf, a constitutional law professor at Cornell University, said Gorsuch’s sympathy for people in religious cases, a general skepticism of executive power and a history of ruling for immigrants give some reason to

think he could be sympathetic to plaintiffs challenging a ban on people from certain countries.

But, Dorf added, “At this point it’s still sort of a guessing game.”

Gorsuch has shown sympathy for religious freedom, notably siding with employers who objected to providing employees coverage for contraceptives. He also found it was wrong for a Wyoming prison to deny use of an existing prison sweat lodge to an inmate who wanted to use it to exercise his Native American religious beliefs. But it’s not clear how those considerations would factor into a ban on people from majority Muslim countries.

In one immigration case, Gorsuch sided with a Somalian convicted of lying under oath during grand jury questioning about his asylum application, saying the immigrant should have been provided an interpreter. In another case, he was part of a decision that found the court lacked jurisdiction to consider an appeal from Mexican immigrants who argued deportation would create an undue hardship because their teenage kids were U.S. citizens.

Bowlrrito aims to focus on fresh Mexican food

By STEPHANIE MARKHAM smarkham@shawmedia.com

DeKALB – A new Mexican restaurant with a focus on fresh ingredients has opened in DeKalb.

Bowlrrito Fresh Grill opened March 3 at 1180 W. Lincoln Highway, in the site of the former Diddy Dogs.

Dipak Desai said he co-owns the restaurant along with two friends.

The restaurant’s signature dish is the “Bowlrrito” burrito bowl. The menu also offers salad bowls, tacos, nachos and burritos with a variety of traditional Mexican toppings and sides.

Protein choices include chicken, veggies, tofu, eggs, pork, sausage, steak, beef, shrimp and tilapia.

“Our main thing is everything we prepare here is fresh, in-house,” Desai said. “All the salsas, chips and everything.”

He said none of the ingredients are kept frozen; all of the beans, rice, salsas, guacamole and toppings are prepared each day.

Desai said his goals for the restaurant include experimenting with Indian flavors with the vegetarian dishes and installing a drive-through.

“We weren’t expecting initially to do a drive-through, but the customers are asking,” he said. “It will happen in the very near future. I don’t want to disappoint the people.”

Desai said even with the drivethrough coming, he would still recom-

Desai said he is planning to have a grand opening in about a month when everything is settled and organized, and in the meantime he is looking for customers to provide feedback.

“We really need the support of DeKalb,” he said. “If we are doing anything wrong, tell us, give us feedback.

He said the response from the community so far has been positive.

“We had the confidence like, if we sell fresh, yes, people will come,” Desai said.

The financial climate in Illinois has created many issues for our residents that are far-reaching and devastating to many sectors of our economy. We all are scrutinizing budgets to ensure our dollars are spent wisely with programs and services that provide the most return on investment.

We must continue to fund what is working. The tourism sector is working and thriving.

Visitor spending dollars are up and continue to be a part of the solution to our economic challenges. In 2015, visitor spending generated more than $32 billion for the state budget. That visitor spending saves the average family of four $1,300 in taxes. The return on investment for each $1 spent in promotion produces $6 in return.

The mission of the DeKalb County Convention and Visitors Bureau is to generate economic impact and promote the county as a premiere destination for business and leisure travel 50 miles outside of our radius.

A certified bureau has exclusive opportunities, access and reach that aren’t available to other tourism organizations. Our bureau is the official liaison with the Illinois Office of Tourism and has direct access to Director of Tourism Cory Jobe and his staff.

Our bureau has a proven track record of success. For the past seven years, visitor spending in DeKalb County has been on the rise. It’s no coincidence that those dollars increased when the DCCVB was certified as the Destination Marketing Organization for DeKalb County tourism by the Illinois Office of Tourism. Our marketing and promotion efforts helped generate $91.3 million from visitor spending for DeKalb County in 2015. These dollars go back into the local economy and keep our businesses, organizations and governmental bodies thriving.

Local investment dollars are critical to our success and are required to be eligible to receive additional grants. Only certified bureaus can receive a matching grant from the state to promote tourism. So, when local dollars are invested with the DCCVB, we double our money to promote DeKalb County to visitors.

The matching grant is called the Local Tourism Certified Bureau grant. Because of our bureau’s success, we have gone from an LTCB grant of $55,000 to $92,787 in fiscal 2017. We have nearly doubled the amount of money that we earned from the LTCB grant in just five years.

Here are just a few examples of what the DCCVB does to generate economic impact from visitor spending.

DCCVB VIEW Debbie Armstrong Last week, we provided on-site tours of hotel and conference venues for a group that was looking for a location to host their event. Together, with several of our local venues, we convinced the event organizers that DeKalb County was the right location.

Our efforts resulted in booking 336 hotel room nights over the course of a three-day event. More than 1,500 visitors will travel to this area for this event. They will be sleeping, eating, shopping, buying gas and experiencing the best of DeKalb County during their stay. The estimated economic impact of this event is $150,000. This one event will generate almost as much money as our entire bureau budget for the year.

In the same 48-hour period, we finalized our part of the arrangements required for the IESA State Wrestling Championships that were held at the NIU Convocation Center last weekend. That event brought in 5,000 visitors and more than 450 hotel room nights and had an estimated economic impact of $250,000.

In addition to that, we booked a tour group of 40 that will visit the area in July. All of this is being accomplished with a staff of 1.5.

It’s always easier to understand something when you can put yourself into a situation. Let’s say your family is headed out on a road trip to that sports tournament, dance competition or educational camp. Here’s what you are likely to spend that contributes to the bottom line for local businesses.

Most likely, you’ll need to book a hotel room for at least one night. But it’s not just about hotels. You’ll have to fill up the van with gas. You will probably make a trip to the grocery store to purchase snacks so the kids won’t get “hangry.” Of course, you’ll look for a couple of great local places to dine, too, even if it’s a day trip.

If you have any free time, you may do some shopping and explore local attractions. You might even have to stop and buy sweatshirts or ponchos because the forecast called for sunny and warm and it turned out to be cloudy with showers. That’s how visitor spending keeps the economy thriving.

Now, imagine those dollars were spent in the local businesses owned by

ANOTHER VIEW

Much needed wake-up call Spare us the feeble platitudes about boys being boys. The revelation that thousands of Marines, active-duty and veterans, used social media to solicit and share nude photographs of Marine Corps women cannot be minimized or excused.

Their actions, which included calls to stalk and harass women in the photographs, are a stain on the Marines that underscores ongoing issues of sexual harassment within the armed forces. It is, again, a wake-up call for a military that too often views – and treats – women as inferior.

Defense Department officials announced that they have opened a criminal investigation into the activities of a group called Marines United, which used a private Facebook page to circulate without their permission nude photographs of Marine women, identified by their full name, rank and military duty station and often accompanied by obscene comments. “Take her out back and pound her out” read one comment quoted by the news website Reveal, which first disclosed the group’s existence.

Some have suggested there has been an overreaction to the site and that the behavior is merely a normal outgrowth of the rough ethos that Marines boast as tradition. They would do well to listen to Marine veteran Thomas Brennan, who wrote the Reveal article. “I’m no angel,” he told the New York Times. “I have deployed just like these Marines. I’ve sat around a fire in Afghanistan and shared that dark, dark Marine humor. ... But this is different. It has gone too far. We are hurting other Marines.”

Good order demands respect for one’s comrades. This aberrant, if not criminal, behavior must not be tolerated. The decision of officials to order an investigation is insufficient but encouraging; let’s hope they are serious about holding those responsible to account. Not to be overlooked, however, is that 30,000 Marines, many on active duty, are said to have participated in this site. And there are reports that other branches of the military may also be implicated. That suggests this is not a case of a few bad apples but of deep-seated issues in the military.

Of all the armed services, the Marines have been the most resistant to integrating women into the ranks; the service persists in segregating recruits by sex during basic training and puts up the stiffest opposition to opening up combat jobs to women.

This latest scandal demands some real soul-searching by the Marine Corps leadership and action from the Pentagon to finally stop the sexist treatment of women who are a vital part of America’s defense.

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Automakers should get review of mileage rule

If President Donald Trump orders a review of automotive fuel economy standards as he reportedly will do, he will be affirming an important principle: Government should keep its promises.

The president is expected as early as this week to grant a request made by 18 automakers, including Detroit’s Big Three, to review the mileage mandates the companies and President Barack Obama agreed to in 2011.

That current pact seeks to double fuel economy of the car and light truck fleet to 54.5 miles per gallon. It originally contained the commitment to a mid-term review to determine whether the standards could be met.

Obama blew away that promise on his way out the door. The Environmental Protection Agency announced in January that it had completed its review and determined there was no need to change

the standards.

A comprehensive review was to come later this year or early next that would have allowed vehicle manufacturers to present evidence on the state of both technology and the marketplace.

Technically, the automakers could meet the 2025 standard – if they made and sold mostly electric and hybrid vehicles. But that would require a major shift in consumer preference.

Low gasoline prices, which neither state nor federal lawmakers have shown the willingness to boost through higher taxes, continue to fuel the demand for larger cars and pickups.

Light trucks in 2016 outsold cars for the fourth straight year, posting a 7 percent sales increase to capture 60 percent of the market, according to Auto Alliance, an industry group.

Meanwhile, plug-in vehicles

made up less than 1 percent of sales last year, and when combined with hybrids are just less than 3 percent of the total market.

The weak consumer response comes despite intense marketing efforts by the manufacturers and heavy subsidies from taxpayers.

Environmentalists are protesting that a decision to withdraw the EPA’s denial of a formal evaluation process signals a gutting of protections put in place by the Obama administration.

Reinstating the review does not mean the standards will be rolled back. After hearing from the automakers and examining the data, the EPA may reach the same conclusion it did in January.

But automakers agreed to the mandates only after being guaranteed a thorough mid-term review.

Fairness demands they get what was promised.

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.

America’s high-risk complacent class “Most Americans don’t like change very much,” writes economist and Marginal Revolution blogger Tyler Cowen, “unless it is on terms that they manage and control.” That’s just one of many provocative sentences you can mine from the riches threaded through his new book, “The Complacent Class.”

“Don’t like change” cuts against most Americans’ self-image. Don’t voters almost always demand and sometimes vote for change? Isn’t that what they were doing when they voted for an untested backbench senator in 2008 and a reality TV show/real estate billionaire in 2016?

Don’t we think of ourselves as a nation of people on the move, always open to new opportunities and new evidence, willing to take chances?

Don’t we constantly strive to better ourselves and to work with others to better our communities and our nation?

Not so much anymore, Cowen answers. His argument that Americans have become more complacent of late draws on multiple previously unconnected statistics.

One, which I’ve written about before, is that Americans just don’t move much these days. The descendants of immigrants and pioneers are increasingly content to just stay put.

The interstate migration rate has fallen steadily for 30 years, to a point 51 percent below the 1948 to ’71 average.

This includes people in the Rust

VIEWS Michael Barone Belt, an area with slow or no job growth. When steel mills and coal mines closed down between 1979 and 1983, many residents moved to Texas or elsewhere. Laid-off autoworkers in Detroit bought the Sunday Houston Chronicle to look in the want ads (remember want ads?) for jobs. Now you can look for faraway jobs online, but few people bother.

One reason is that public policy discourages moving. Occupational licenses, increasingly required for jobs, don’t cross state lines. Disability payments, increasingly common, provide a base income for staying put.

Environmental restrictions raise real estate prices in coastal cities beyond what others beyond can afford. All are intended to protect people, but they also lock them in.

Another indication of complacency, Cowen argues, is that Americans increasingly prefer “matching” to striving. We look to associate with (and marry) like-minded people; we nestle increasingly in cocoonlike neighborhoods full of like-minded people. We are less likely to take risks to strive for success and more inclined to settle for the comforts of matching.

Technological change encourages

this social stasis. It’s much easier to cocoon with the like-minded than in pre-internet days. Cowen cites Charles Murray’s 2012 book, “Coming Apart,” which describes how the highly educated and affluent are increasingly clustered in a few “SuperZips,” insulated from those at the bottom of the education and income scale.

As Cowen points out, the greatest segregation of the working class from the affluent occurs in places fond of political rhetoric decrying inequality – in Manhattan and San Francisco, in college towns such as Ann Arbor and Chapel Hill.

Business formation is another area in which Americans seem more and more complacent. Business startups have been declining for years, with the millennial generation lagging far behind its predecessors. Tech startups such as Google and Facebook have become behemoths, vacuuming up honors graduates of elite schools, much like Goldman Sachs.

The monopolistic success of these institutions – together with their elite allies in government, media and universities – seems nonetheless not to have produced satisfying results for the general population. The perception of elite incompetence, indifference or hostility has been a major ingredient in the political success of Donald Trump.

Similar trends are observable elsewhere. See James Kirchick’s “The End of Europe” and Michael Auslin’s “The

End of the Asian Century.” Complacency, whether among the elite or the populace, breeds decline.

It’s a problem foreseen, 180 years ago, by Alexis de Tocqueville, whom Cowen quotes as saying, “My fear is that (America and other new societies) will end up by being too unalterably fixed with the same institutions, prejudices, and mores, so that mankind will stop progressing and will dig itself in.”

Cowen predicts that the complacent class “cannot hold” and that, yearning for stasis, it will be caught in a cycle of destabilizing change. We already have reason to understand how efforts to eliminate all risk turn out to be massively risky.

Policies designed to make almost everyone a wealth-accumulating homeowner resulted in mass foreclosures, financial collapse and a nationwide recession. Anyone with arithmetic skills can see that pension and Social Security promises, supposedly guaranteeing income floors, will someday be broken.

Over time, success breeds failure and accomplishment breeds complacency.

The question is whether a complacent nation can learn to take the risks necessary to achieve success once again.

tax referendum.

Our tax dollars would provide additional support for continuing county health services, such as maternal and child health, communicable disease prevention, immunizations, environmental health (safe food, water and septic), health promotion, and emergency preparedness.

Because of decreased federal and state grants, the county health department needs our help.

The owner of a $100,000 home would pay an additional $9.57 in property taxes annually. With a recent study showing that for every $1 spent on prevention, more than $5 is saved in health care spending, this is a good value.

The DeKalb County Health Department is an important part of the medical infrastructure of our community. For this reason I ask you for your support April 4.

Please vote “Yes.”

GIRLS SOCCER SEASON PREVIEW

DeKALB

Last year: 12-7-2; lost to Burlington Central, 4-3, in a Class 2A regional semifinal Top returners: Meghan Hanson, sr., GK; Hanna Hickey, sr., MF; Maddie Hill, jr., MF; Emma Rourke, jr., D; Hayley Brown, jr., D; Katie Cies, jr., MF; Bella Bettner, jr. F Key newcomers: Grace Bauling, so., D; Lindsy Franzene, so., F Coach PJ Hamilton’s comments: “I’m really pleased with what we have. We had a great offseason, and a bunch of kids committed to doing good things. We lost a great core group of seniors, but the way the kids have come in and embraced what we do, I’m real excited to see where the future takes us – especially moving into 3A.” The lowdown: One of the few DeKalb programs not playing in the IHSA’s highest classification for its particular sport, the Barbs will move into girls soccer’s largest class this year. Hamilton said the Barbs have “enhanced” their schedule to get used to playing at the highest level. The team returns only two senior starters from last year, but six juniors who started last year come back.

KANELAND

Last year: 17-5-2; lost to Sycamore, 1-0, in a Class 2A sectional semifinal Top returners: Holly Collingbourne, sr., MF/F; Taylor Zitkus, sr., D; Lauren Ortiz, sr., D/MF; Kylie Kurz, sr., D/MF; Lindsay Penkala, jr., MF; Rachael Lutter, so., D Key newcomers: Bailey Prichard, fr., D/ MF; Sarah Baerenklau, fr., D; Olivia Lutter, fr., D Coach Scott Parillo’s comments: “It would be nice (to have another long playoff run), but there are no guarantees. You can have a great team, but for whatever reason it doesn’t happen. I’ve had some great teams not get that far. It would be nice, but it’s tough to do year in and year out, so we just hope for the best.”

The lowdown: Six players graduated from last year’s team, but five freshmen come in. Parillo said they all are club players and have had no issues adjusting to high school soccer. The Knights reached the round of 16 last season a year after making the round of eight. Parillo said good luck in the health department has been a big factor in the team’s success the past couple of years.

GENOA-KINGSTON

Last year: 5-17; lost to Rockford Christian, 4-1, in a Class 1A regional final Top returners: Maggie Bouque, sr., MF; Danielle Crozier, sr., F; Maddie Ruehl, sr., GK; Jessie Pope, jr., MF; Sarai Orozco, jr., F; Hannah Phillips, jr., MF; Veronica Cieslica, jr., MF; Veronica Seigrath, jr., D; Rachel Younker, so., D Key newcomers: Brittany Beltran, so., F; Arianna Wagner, fr., MF See GIRLS SOCCER, page 21

Taryn Mathey. Jenna Lewey also will be on the back line, leaving one open spot.

Stice played more midfield than defense last year, but has experience at centerback with her club team.

“Our back line will be really strong, so I’m happy to be a part of that,” Stice said. “Last year was strong, and I think this year I expect the same.”

Holland injured her knee in a club tournament in January in Florida, and both she and Lichamer said there’s no timetable for a return for the reigning Daily Chronicle Girls Soccer Player of the Year. She scored 24 goals and had 14 assists in her sophomore campaign last year.

Continued from page 20 “Anytime you lose a reigning MVP, it’s going to affect us a little bit,” Lichamer said. “But I feel confident even with her out; we still have players who are going to fill in those spaces, and we’re going to be very competitive.

When, and if, she does come back, we’ll be all the better for it.”

The Spartans still will have a Holland on the front line – sophomore Saydie Holland, who scored 24 goals in her freshman season last year. They also will have another pair of sisters – Taylor Meier scored 17 goals last year in her freshman season, and she’ll be joined by freshman Kierah Meier.

Senior Cali Carl scored four goals, but in the playoffs established herself as a key part of the offense on set pieces, including corner kicks.

“We’re going to have a great offense this year,” Ella Holland said. “And Emma Stice is moving back to defense, and she was actually recruited for center back, so I feel like our defense is going to be really strong soon.”

The Spartans lost a 2A semifinal, 2-0, to state champion Rochester. They beat St. Francis, 2-1, in the third-place game.

Lichamer called last year a special one, but added that a season like they

“A lot of teams are going to look at them, and see the success they had last year, and go, ‘That’s a team we need to go after. That’s the team to beat,’ “ Lichamer said. “There may be some revenge if they lost to us. I just assume teams are going to come out and play hard against us.”

In the quarterfinals of the MAC tournament, the No. 4-seed Huskies erased a 22-point deficit for a 72-71 victory over No. 5-seed Ohio for the largest comeback in program history.

After blowing out No. 8-seed Western Michigan, 83-55, in the semifinals, the Huskies led by four early in the fourth quarter before falling to Toledo, 82-71, in the championship.

The team is led by senior guard Ally Lehman, a first-team All-MAC performer this season who is averaging 18.3 points, 9.7 rebounds and 6.5 assists a game. Fellow senior Cassidy Glenn is averaging 14.2 points a game, and Carlsen highlighted how happy she was that the Huskies’ seniors will get to play at least one more game.

“That’s the biggest part of it – having these guys have a chance to play again and to play in postseason, it’s not something they’ve done before,” Carlsen said. “To have that opportunity for everybody, and especially the seniors, is special.”

Also joining the Huskies in the WNIT is Central Michigan, which was the MAC regular-season champion, Ohio, Ball State and Kent State.

The National Women’s Invitational Tournament was played from 1969-1996, before a brief absence and returned as the WNIT in 1998. The Huskies played in the NWIT in 1991, when they finished the year 25-10 as a member of the North Star Conference under coach Jane Albright.

The best Northern Illinois women’s basketball season in two decades isn’t over yet.

The Huskies qualified for the 64team Women’s National Invitational Tournament on Monday night and will play at South Dakota State (22-8) at a time yet to be determined Thursday.

“It was weird because you sit around all day and you don’t do anything,” NIU coach Lisa Carlsen said Monday night about waiting to see whether the Huskies would make the field. “You just wait. You don’t know if you’re going to keep playing or you’re not. You don’t know who you’re going to play. It was

kind of weird. We were in the office all day and we were laughing like, ‘OK, here we are. Here we are waiting.’ Waiting until 7:51 (p.m.) – that’s not fun.”

It’s been a resurgent season for the Huskies (21-11) in the second year under Carlsen. It’s the most wins in a season since 1993-94, when the Huskies went 24-6 and made the NCAA tournament. The Huskies also compiled the most conference wins as a part of the Mid-American Conference (12) and advanced to the MAC championship for the first time in program history.

“It’s the most legit tournament after the NCAA tournament,” Carlsen said about the WNIT. “It’s known for that. It’s not just us trying to make ourselves feel good about it.”

Cubs 3, Padres 1 (Peoria, Ariz.)

This is the sixth in a series of position previews on the Cubs.

UNFLAPPABLE HAPP You will not get Ian Happ out. No one can.

The switch-hitting prospect went 3 for 3 with a majestic home run to center field, otherwise known as just another day at the office.

The 22-year-old is 14 for 30 (.467) with an OPS of 1.351. Small sample size, sure, but this kid has big talent.

“I’m feeling really good at the plate,” he said. “Just trying to enjoy my time and learn as much as I can.”

be limited in left, but he continues to work in the outfield, and manager Joe Maddon has steadfastly maintained that Schwarber is better than advertised with the outfield glove.

Schwarber has acquitted himself well enough in the Cactus League so far, both in the field and at the plate, where he was 6 for 22 with two triples and a home run through Sunday.

Kyle What the Cubs really Schwarber want to see is a full year of Schwarber and his offensive potential.

He played in only two regular-season games last year because of the knee injury he suffered in the second series of the season. That injury came as the result of a collision in the outfield.

In only 69 games in 2015, Schwarber put up a line of .246/.355/.487 with 16 home runs and 43 RBIs. For his postseason career, he has a line of .364/.451/.727 for an OPS of 1.178 with 32 total bases, five home runs and 10 RBIs. This year, Schwarber will take up a new challenge, as he likely will be the Cubs’ primary leadoff hitter.

PITCHER HIT It was a scary moment as Jake Buchanan was hit by a line drive, but word from the Cubs is that he is OK. Buchanan was hit in his upper right (throwing) arm – just a bruise, fortunately.

“It’s another spot in the lineup,” he said early in camp. “I think it would be a cool spot. You’ve got some guys behind you in Kris (Bryant) and Rizz (Anthony Rizzo) and (Ben) Zobrist and all those other guys. If I’m there, I’m there.”

Schwarber might not look like the “prototypical” leadoff hitter, but the description and definition of a leadoff hitter

have changed over the years. He is not a speed guy who will steal many bases, but the Cubs like his ability to see pitches and get on base at his career clip of .353.

“I don’t want him to change anything,” Maddon said. “His DNA is to see pitches, accept walks, work good at-bats.”

When Schwarber returned last fall, he went 7 for 17 in the World Series with a double, two RBIs and three walks. He will continue to wear the knee brace for the foreseeable future. But he said there was no mental hurdle coming back.

“I don’t think there was really a psychological hurdle,” he said. “I wanted to be 100 percent as soon as I came in. These last couple months of being out here and doing my work have been good.”

Schwarber might catch on occasion, and he might be taken out of left field late in games for a defensive replacement. Beyond that, Maddon said he is mindful of all that Schwarber went through during his rehab.

“Pretty significant injury he came off,” the manager said. “We all know what he did in the World Series last year. People are going to look at that and base their entire Schwarber world around that last two games. But he’s still coming off a really significant injury, and we have to be very careful with that.

“I would like to see him play an entire season. It would be ... nice to get a full season of Kyle Schwarber. So that’s the most important thing to get out of this.”

WHITE SOX SPRING TRAINING

Slamming Saladino having a solid spring

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

GLENDALE, Ariz. – Whether he’s a starter, roving jack of all trades or catching in an emergency, Tyler Saladino figures to give the White Sox a little bit of everything.

Some speed, solid infield defense and, as he showed Monday, occasional pop with the bat.

Saladino’s grand slam against righthander Carlos Carrasco was his third homer of the spring, no great surprise considering he popped eight out of the yard in 319 plate appearances last season, when Saladino ranked sixth among Sox position players in wins above replacement (1.8).

With top prospect Yoan Moncada destined to be the everyday second baseman at some point this season, Saladino can hold down the position while Moncada gets more needed Triple-A at-bats. If and when Moncada arrives,

Saladino can play third, short and first base. He also has played in the outfield.

“He’s a valuable asset to us as a flexible piece,” said manager Rick Renteria, who also has utility infielder Yolmer Sanchez and infield/ outfield option Leury Garcia to give him plenty of flexibility, depending on how the 25-man roster shakes out.

“He’s an established major league baseball Tyler Saladino player, whether it’s using him at second base or using him four or five days playing other positions, including second base. I’m not going to lock myself into one thing with any of them.”

Saladino might want to save some hits for the regular season. He also doubled and singled Monday to raise his average to .480.

Tilson to start season on DL: Charlie Tilson’s follow-up MRI reconfirmed an original diagnosis of a stress reaction

White Sox 9, Indians 5 (Glendale, Ariz.)

SOX POWER Three home runs against right-hander Carlos Carrasco, who threw mainly fastballs, highlighted an eight-run second inning. Tyler Saladino (grand slam), Cody Asche (his second) and Rymer Liriano all went deep.

ON DECK White Sox at Mariners, Peoria, 3:10 (CSN), Lucas Giolito vs. James Paxton. Carlos Rodon will pitch in a simulated game.

– Daryl Van Schouwen in his right foot, but the outfielder has inflammation, is in a walking boot and will start the season on the disabled list.

The good news for Tilson is there is no stress fracture. But he’ll go without weight bearing activity for at least three weeks and be re-evaluated.

Tilson, acquired from the Cardinals at last year’s trade deadline, tore his left hamstring in his first game, rehabbed the injury and came to camp as the top contender to start the season in center field.

Good, old No. 14: Maybe the Sox should have saved their 14-run ninth inning late Sunday for the day Paul Konerko visited camp last week, not that Konerko would have enjoyed it.

The late-night blitz, executed mainly by minor leaguers, erased a 3-1 deficit, but was no thing of beauty with four Dodgers errors, three walks and two hit batters included. The Sox did have seven hits, including two by outfielder Jason Bourgeois – one of them a three-run homer. They pushed nine runs across before making an out.

Renteria was pleased with many of the at-bats, but even he felt for the Dodgers, who were on the field for 40 minutes.

“I can imagine how they felt on the other side,” he said.

Memo to those who want to underestimate Kyle Schwarber: Do so at your risk.

That should have been apparent last fall, when Schwarber came back from a major early season knee injury and willed his way into the lineup in time for the World Series, beating even the Cubs’ own projections for his return.

Schwarber continued working in the offseason, and he arrived at spring training saying he was 100 percent and ready to go.

The 24-year-old has taken up any challenge thrown at him during his brief career after the Cubs took him in the first round of the 2014 draft.

Doubters have scoffed at Schwarber’s viability as a catcher, his preferred position. Last year’s knee injury and the fact that the Cubs have a pair of bona fide backstops will limit Schwarber’s time behind the plate.

So out to left field Schwarber will go again. The 6-foot, 235-pounder might

24 BULLS 115, HORNETS 109

‘Three Alphas’ reunite in victory Rondo, Butler, Wade combine for 66 points

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The “Three Alphas” had a reunion Monday night.

It was about time.

With Rajon Rondo inserted back into the starting lineup for the first time since late December, the Bulls watched their five-game losing streak come to an end, beating the Charlotte Hornets, 115-109, at the Spectrum Center.

As for Rondo, Jimmy Butler and Dwyane Wade – nicknamed the “Three Alphas” by Rondo before the season started – they combined to score 66 points, including 20 from Rondo.

That was not the only boost the Bulls (32-35) got on the night, either, as Nikola Mirotic went from inactive Sunday to key player off the bench, scoring a team-high 24 points.

It was the first time since Jan. 16, 2008, that the Bulls had four players

score 20 points or more.

More importantly, besides 11 minutes unnecessarily handed out to Cameron Payne, coach Fred Hoiberg leaned on basically eight players, staying away from the deep rotation, as well as the pressures from the front office to focus on developing youth.

Instead, Hoiberg seemed focused on getting a key win in midMarch, looking for his team to fight its way back into the Eastern Rajon Rondo Conference playoff race. A team that was supposed to look like this all year long.

“Yeah, that’s what I came here for,” Rondo said of the “Three Alphas” once again being the focal point. “But like I said, it’s a process that I went through.

It didn’t kill me. Decisions people made, and that’s out of my league.”

According to Rondo, Hoiberg sent him a text Sunday night that he wanted to talk to him Monday morning about getting his starting job back. Not the first time Hoiberg approached Rondo with that idea.

A source said Hoiberg approached Rondo about starting last month, but the veteran wasn’t receptive to it. Not that he could be blamed, especially since he lost the starting job in late December, and then wasn’t even being used.

He finally resurfaced with the second unit, and was playing well with the young guys for the most part.

“Yeah, I was more receptive this time,” Rondo said. “I don’t think I

wasn’t last time. I just thought I had a better rhythm with the second unit.’’

Butler and Wade were glad to have Rondo back, fresh off a first quarter in Boston in which the team scored just nine points.

“It helps to make shots, but [Rondo] got us a lot of open ones,” Butler said.

“Attacking the paint, spraying the ball out to open shooters. Whatever it takes to win games, to tell you the truth. That looked really nice tonight. I’m guessing we’ll do it again come Wednesday, so I guess we’ll find out. If we play like that, we’ll be OK.” Rondo set the tempo right away, scoring 11 points and handing out three assists in the first quarter against the Hornets, as the Bulls jumped out to the 36-24 lead.

As for Mirotic, he admittedly was surprised that he not only played, but played just less than 29 minutes, after it seemed like the team was done calling his number this season.

“It was a different game for us, and I think we enjoyed it a lot,” Mirotic said.

“For a long time we didn’t enjoy playing basketball, and today we finally enjoyed the game.”

ASK THE DOCTORS Elizabeth Ko and Eve Glazier absorbed slowly. For example, cauliflower, spinach, green beans and mushrooms all have a GI of 0.

Why does this all matter?

Chronically high blood sugar levels have been tied to a wide range of health problems, including the risk of developing diabetes, heart disease, nerve damage, cataracts and kidney disease. By learning the GI values of the foods that you eat, you can take control of your diet. You can add foods low on the GI scale that will steady your blood sugar, and eliminate – or at least limit – the foods that make your blood sugar jump.

It’s important to note that a balanced and healthful diet will be made up of foods from all parts of the GI spectrum.

There are several nutritious foods with a high GI value, such as sweet potatoes, which have a GI of 70. Meanwhile, foods with little nutritional value, such as milk chocolate, will rank lower on the GI scale, at about 40.

Foods high in carbohydrates are essential to a healthy diet, but quality matters.

Stick with fresh vegetables, fresh fruit, whole grains, legumes and beans. Steer clear of processed foods, which are usually high in refined carbohydrates like white sugar or white flour. And before you make a radical change to the way you eat, be sure to check with your physician.

Dear Doctor: I’ve been reading that choosing foods that are low on the glycemic index is better for your health. What is the glycemic index and why should I pay attention to it?

Dear Reader: The glycemic index, also referred to as the GI, is a system that rates foods based on how quickly the glucose contained within them is absorbed into the bloodstream. Developed to help people living with diabetes to maintain steady blood glucose levels, the GI has become a useful tool for anyone who wants to avoid blood sugar spikes.

The food we eat is broken up into three main categories – protein, fat and carbohydrates. Of the three, carbohydrates are our main source of energy. The body turns carbohydrates into glucose, a type of sugar, which powers bodily functions. It gives you energy for both mental (your brain is a heavy user of glucose) and physical activity.

However, not all carbohydrates behave the same way after they are ingested.

Some, like sweets, baked goods and some fruits and cereals, will cause a sharp rise in blood glucose levels. More complex carbohydrates, like beans or legumes and most vegetables, are digested and absorbed slowly due to their fiber content. When you eat foods that are low on the glycemic index, it leads to a gradual and controlled rise in blood sugar. Foods high on the glycemic index cause blood sugar levels to rise and fall quickly.

The GI is based on a scale of 0 to 100, with pure glucose assigned a value of 100.

The more rapidly that foods release their load of glucose into the bloodstream, the higher they rank on the scale. Candy and processed cereals have high glycemic index values. The lowest values are assigned to foods in which glucose is digested and

dren to perform to their level of capacity. Because you say you are being abused physically and emotionally for your inability to live up to your family’s expectations, discuss what’s going on with a counselor at your school. It’s possible there needs to be an intervention by someone they will listen to. Please don’t wait to do it.

Dear Abby: My husband of three years has visits with his son every Tuesday and Thursday evening. My mother-in-law picks up her grandson, takes him to her home and makes dinner for the three of them. I work 10-hour days Monday through Friday and am not able to attend these dinners. My question is, isn’t it proper etiquette that my mother-in-law should send a plate of food home for me with my husband? She never has, and I think this is rude and inconsiderate of her.

What is your opinion? – Hungry in El Paso Dear Hungry: Although brief, your letter speaks volumes about your relationship with your mother-in-law, which appears could be better. No rule of etiquette dictates that she is obligated to send a plate of her food home with her son for you. Perhaps if your relationship with her was warmer, or your husband was thoughtful enough to suggest it, she would. However, since you asked, my opinion is that rather than complain, you should pick up some take-out on your way home from work.

Dear Abby: I’m a 22-year-old college student on the verge of graduating this May. I’ve been dating my boyfriend for more than five years, and I am extremely close with his family, especially his sister “Claudia” and her three children (ages 6, 3 and 6 months). My parents are throwing me a graduation party at their home, and they don’t want any guests younger than the age of 10. How do I tell Claudia – a dear friend – that her children won’t be invited without upsetting her? (I have small cousins who won’t be attending either.) It truly is nothing personal, but I know she will probably take it personally. I don’t want to cause drama, but I do want to honor my parents’ wishes that no small children be present. How do I tell her? Help! – Soon-to-be Graduate Dear Soon-to-be Graduate: You are not hosting the party; your parents are. As the hosts, it is their privilege to decide whom to invite -- or not. When Claudia is invited, your parents should explain that they prefer children under the age of 10 not be present, and soften it if necessary by explaining there are small nieces and nephews who will not be attending as well.

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Seeking former employees who worked at Monarch Foundry located in Plano, IL (1968-1975). Please call Cydney at (800) 358-5922 or (314) 435-2975.

Three people provide more quotes for this column than any others: Mark Twain, Oscar Wilde and today’s contributor, A.N. Onymous: “A single fact can spoil a good argument.”

At the bridge table, the fact of a single-ton can make the difference between reaching a low-count slam and missing it. Look at the North hand in the diagram. South opens one no-trump. How should North plan the auction?

With only 11 high-card points, perhaps your first thought is that game is the limit. However, there is a good argument that if the singleton diamond is worthwhile, there could be a slam. North should transfer with two hearts, then jump to four diamonds. (Since a three-diamond rebid would be natural and game-forcing, four diamonds can be used as a splinter bid.)

South’s trumps are not great, but the rest of his hand is slam suitable. He could make a four-heart control-bid or use Roman Key Card Blackwood so that he can find out in particular about North’s spade honors.

How should South play in six spades after West leads the diamond queen?

Declarer can afford to lose only one major-suit trick. But he has two ways to play the trump suit. If he can afford one loser, he should start with the ace. But if he cannot afford a loser, he should finesse the queen. How does he know which way to turn?

South should take the heart finesse first. Here, it loses, so he finesses the spade queen and gets home ... unless West is very clever and ducks his heart king. Then declarer might go down. If he does, he should congratulate West on his excellent defense ... through gritted teeth, to be sure!
