DEKALB COUNTY LIFE

Would you consider joining the new Kish Health/Northwestern Medicine Fitness Center when it is completed?

Barry Schrader When the Rev. Linda Slabon and her partner Toni Tollerud arrived 26 years ago to serve the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of DeKalb, they were still “in the closet.”

There were only 10 members in the fledgling congregation, which since has grown to 79 members, with another 30 regular visitors who participate in some way.

Slabon reflected on her long tenure at UUF as she prepares to retire later this summer.

Both she and her spouse had been married and divorced before they found each other.

Toni already had three children from her first marriage and now they hope to spend some time with the “grandbabies” and travel extensively. She said they are both committed to counseling and social transformation.

In addition to her divinity degree, Slabon has a master’s in social work and is a licensed clinical social worker, while Tolerud is a licensed professional counselor. They say they may return to open a private practice in the area.

Although she was raised Lutheran and received her religious divinity degree from Chicago’s Lutheran School of Theology, she decided to become a Unitarian minister because “they supported, affirmed and celebrated gays and lesbians as clergy.” While ministering to her congregation, she has reached out to the LGBTQ community, many who may have been marginalized and also to educate people on racism and injustice.

She has embraced a congregation that has played an active role in the broader community – people like Clark Neher, Dan and Maylan Kenney, the late Helen and Jim Merritt, school board member Howard Solomon and County Board members Sue Willis and the late Frank O’Barski, among others.

These people are several examples of those who “have put their faith into action,” and she sees their activities as a “very powerful thing for a small congregation” as she reflected on the goodness they have contributed.

Asked about her own activism, she cited one example where they organized a march and rally at the DeKalb County Courthouse when Illinois finally passed a law allowing gay couples to form a legal union. They had nearly 200 participants witness the ceremony

Yes: 22 percent Maybe: 24 percent No: 54 percent Total votes: 114 Barry Schrader for Shaw Media

With plans to retire soon, the Rev. Linda Slabon poses recently in front of the entrance to the sanctuary of Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, 158 N. Fourth St., DeKalb. uniting 10 couples who had been issued civil union licenses by the county clerk. Of course, later gay marriage also was legalized in Illinois. Slabon explained that they exercise faith in action, dealing with issues like racism and immigration.

Looking ahead at the challenges facing her successor, who has not been selected yet, she sees the need for forming coalitions with other faith communities, “building bridges as we face transitions in our culture,” even with those who have typically seen Unitarians as outside of their beliefs and experiences because their spirituality is not based on the Apostles Creed and not Biblically based.

“We need to talk about some of the fears and anxieties in other religions in our culture as well right now – Jews and Muslims are under assault.”

She added that there is a need to serve humanity with less resources. “The old 1950s and early ’60s model of a church where you have multiple staff, lots of volunteers and big buildings is no longer the norm.”

Slabon seemed to be speaking to me in a recent sermon I attended, when she said, “We don’t have to think alike to love alike … yearn to learn … collaborate and engage with leadership and decision-makers. Practice body politics – put your body and your money where your values are.”

STREET STRATEGY

DeKalb Public Works developing multiyear plan for road maintenance

By DREW ZIMMERMAN

dzimmerman@shawmedia.com DeKALB – To remedy a trend of continued underfunding of DeKalb roads, the Public Works Department is working to develop a comprehensive analysis of what needs to be invested on an annual basis over the next 10 years to maintain the city’s roads.

In 2014, City Engineer John Laskowski evaluated the overall condition of the roads and what kind of an investment would be needed to keep them at a stable level.

Using the pavement condition index, an assessment on a scale from zero to 100 where roads ranking higher than 80 are acceptable, roads between 60 and 80 are in a pre-failing condition and roads 60 or lower are failing, results showed the overall average of DeKalb roads was 78.

However, in order to keep roads at or near this level, it was determined there needs to be a $5 million to $9 million investment a year.

“That was a little bit of a wake-up call for the community, but we didn’t develop a funding mechanism for putting that amount of money into our streets,” DeKalb Public Works Director Tim Holdeman said.

That average is down to 71 today, partly because of the continued underfunding of DeKalb roads.

“We’re falling behind, and the data is showing,” Holdeman said. “A lack of investment in street maintenance has really been an issue for 15 years.”

To find a more sustainable way to maintain the roads, the department is developing a pavement management program, which will determine how to best care for DeKalb’s streets.

“What we’ll do this summer is engage residents and the City Council on a discussion of what level of service they want for their streets,” Holdeman said. “We can understand the community’s desires using the pavement condition index, and we will be able to give the council and residents a cost of how to keep the streets in that condition.”

Holdeman added that this will require a balance between what the community and council desire and what is economically feasible.

“As a practical matter, going from administering a $1 million-a-year program to a $9 million-a-year [program]

A majority of annual road funding comes from tax increment financing, which only provides funding for roads within the city’s two TIF districts. These make up about 20 percent of the roughly 130 miles of roads.

In the past five years, roads have received about $1 million in TIF dollars, Holdeman said.

This year, most of the funding is going toward South 10th Street between Locust Street and Route 38, which is receiving more than $211,000; Pine Street between Route 23 and Seventh Street, which is receiving about $185,000; and Taylor Street between Fourth and Seventh, which is receiving about $132,000.

However, DeKalb’s two TIF districts are set to expire in 2019 and 2022, respectively, which Holdeman said has been factored into long-term maintenance plans.

At a City Council Committee of the Whole meeting last month, where

Holdeman outlined his street maintenance plans, City Manager Anne Marie Gaura said that TIF funds have been pay as you go up to this point, but as the TIF phaseout draws near, the city might need to borrow money for road maintenance.

The other 80 percent of roads are covered by $200,000 to $300,000 from the city, which Holdeman said is enough to make repairs on two to three blocks a year.

Holdeman said that work on nonTIF streets this year will instead focus on major patching on collector roads such as First Street, Peace Road and Annie Glidden Road.

“Our approach is not to do these half-dozen non-TIF blocks, but to do extensive patching on these collector roads that are getting in pretty bad shape,” he said.

The department has gathered data for a pavement management program for about six years.

Holdeman said analysis of roads involves not only whether the surface of a road is smooth or cracked,

but whether the subsurface is strong enough to support the amount of traffic on the road.

“Residential roads handle light loads, while collector and arterial roads are heavier duty, so their design has thicker asphalt to withstand the weight,” Holdeman said. “All those parameters are in the data, and this program makes a suggestion of what kind of activity a road needs, whether it’s a surface treatment, resurfacing or reconstruction.”

The data collection for the program already has been paid for, and the department will be working with Infrastructure Management Systems to produce the necessary analysis of the data and the associated reports.

The cost of the analysis is undetermined at this time; however, it is expected to be in the range of $10,000 to $15,000.

Holdeman said that reconstruction, which may require the removal of all asphalt in the road, is about eight times more expensive than surface treatment.

DeKalb cops seize guns, drugs in raids

By DREW ZIMMERMAN

dzimmerman@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Police seized three stolen guns, marijuana, ecstasy, psychedelic mushrooms and other drugs and arrested seven people Wednesday while serving four search warrants on local homes, according to a news release.

The raids were conducted by the DeKalb Police Department’s Targeted Response Unit, which has been pursuing several drug investigation in the city, Cmdr. Bob Redel said. Investigators in the special enforcement unit obtained warrants that they executed Feb. 22, Feb. 24, March 2 and Friday.

“The four search warrants conducted were independent of each other, and apart from those in individual cases, there are no connections to any suspects,” Redel said.

Redel said four weapons were also seized in the investigations, two .50-caliber weapons, a .40-caliber weapon and a 20-gauge shotgun. Three of those were stolen, according to a police news release.

On Feb. 22, police searched a home in the 100 block of Pooler Avenue and found marijuana and psilocybin mushrooms, also known as psychedelic mushrooms, according to a news release.

Lee Ann Kennedy, 47, and Domanic Kennedy, 18, were charged with unlawful possession of marijuana with intent to deliver, police said. Lee Ann Kennedy also was charged with unlawful possession of a controlled substance. The possible sentence for these charges vary depending on the quantity of marijuana involved.

On Feb. 24, DeKalb police and the DeKalb County Special Operations Team worked together to search a home in the 800 block of North Annie Glidden Road, where they found ecstasy pills and marijuana. A secondary search of the suspect’s vehicle turned up a loaded handgun, according to a news release.

Shantrice Lewis, 25, was charged with unlawful possession of marijuana with intent to deliver in connection with that search, police said. Christopher Spencer-McClaren, 32, was charged with being an armed habit-

ual criminal, unlawful possession of a weapon by a felon and other weapons offenses, unlawful possession of a controlled substance and unlawful possession of cannabis with the intent to deliver.

Lewis’ charge will vary depending on the amount of marijuana seized.

Spencer-McClaren is being held in the DeKalb County Jail on $25,000 bond. He would have to post $2,500 to be released. If convicted of being an armed habitual criminal, he could face six to 30 years in prison.

The third search warrant, served March 2 at a home in the 800 block of Grove Street, led police to marijuana and two stolen guns. A third gun, also stolen, was eventually recovered at another DeKalb address related to the investigation.

“We found the owner of the guns, who didn’t know they had been stolen,” Redel said. “So they weren’t offi-

cially reported stolen until then.”

Andrew Weems, 19, was charged with unlawful possession of stolen firearms, which could carry a three- to seven-year sentence in prison, police said.

Christian Corson, 18, was charged with felony theft, unlawful possession of a stolen firearm and unlawful possession of a firearm without a firearm owner’s identification card.

On Wednesday evening, Corson was scheduled to be released on his own recognizance, jail officials said.

The last search warrant was served Friday in the 700 block of South Third Street, where police seized marijuana, marijuana edibles and oil, and prescription drugs Xanax and Adderall.

Francisco Fisher, 31, was charged with unlawful possession of a controlled substance, which could carry a one- to three-year sentence in prison, and unlawful possession of cannabis with the intent to deliver.

DeKalb firefighters hold training to measure air consumption

By DREW ZIMMERMAN

dzimmerman@shawmedia.com DeKALB – City firefighters determined how long their oxygen tanks may hold out in an actual fire by performing a series of maneuvers in full gear Wednesday.

DeKalb Deputy Fire Chief James Zarek said that although oxygen tanks are rated to last a half-hour, the average person gets about 15 minutes of air because of how much energy they exert.

“You need to get out of the mindset of having a 30-minute tank,” Zarek told firefighters as they began their drill.

“The goal here is air management.”

The training took place at a vacant house at 197 Hollister Ave., which is owned by the DeKalb Sanitary District.

The DeKalb Fire Department also conducted training Tuesday and will again Thursday.

Zarek said the annual drills are part the minimum training requirements set by organizations such as the Illinois Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the National Fire Protec-

Lastly, they had to use a pike pole to pull on a suspended cord to simulate tearing through a ceiling. Firefighters had to repeat this cycle until their tanks were completely depleted. This time was recorded as well as when they had 25 percent of their oxygen remaining.

“This gives them an idea of how long they can stay inside a burning building,” Zarek said.

After they finished the drill, each firefighter had a recovery period where they removed their gears, rehydrated and had their vitals checked.

“These guys still have shifts, so we don’t want to beat them up too bad to where they can’t go on a call,” Zarek Matthew Apgar – mapgar@shawmedia.com said.

DeKalb County Board chairman

County Board OKs wind-, solar-farm moratorium

By STEPHANIE MARKHAM smarkham@shawmedia.com

ty during the period of assessment.

He said the Planning and Zoning Committee would evaluate ordinances from other communities, compare the height of DeKalb County’s wind turbines to those in other communities, and listen to pros and cons from residents living near solar and wind farms.

Possible wind tower effects listed in the ordinance include the value of surrounding properties; aesthetics near wind towers; shadow flicker; noise; effects on birds and bats; drainage around the towers; construction traffic near the towers; effects on aerial spraying of adjoining farms; and effects on TV, radio, microwave and internet reception.

Pietrowski said if board members are not comfortable with creating an

ordinance upon their research, they would have to repeal the moratorium and consider each individual proposal for a special-use permit.

“If we do agree to an ordinance though, the whole board has to understand that we have to live with that ordinance,” he said. “We have to be very happy with that because if somebody meets those criteria, that means they get to do that in our county.”

He said he is not concerned with the board being able to reach a decision on what direction to take within the 18-month period.

“It’s just giving a little more time to really give this a thorough investigation in terms of how the county wants to proceed, not just now, but in the future for both wind and solar,” Pietrowski said.

SYCAMORE – The DeKalb County Board unanimously approved a moratorium Wednesday on developing wind and solar farms for 18 months or until a sustainable energy ordinance is passed.

During this time, the county will assess the effects wind towers have had on the community, and the board cannot issue special-use permits for wind farms or take any action on commercial solar farms.

NextEra Energy Resources gained a special-use permit in 2009 to build a wind farm in Afton, Clinton, Milan and Shabbona townships.

In February, EDF Renewable Development petitioned the board to

build two 200-foot wind testing towers in South Grove Township south of Kirkland to determine whether conditions are favorable to build wind turbines in that area.

The moratorium does not prohibit the company from building the testing towers.

County Board Chairman Mark Pietrowski Jr. said the company would have to decide whether to pursue the testing towers or wait through the assessment process.

“That probably is not something I think they would be excited to do, because there’s no sense of where we’re going to end up at,” he said.

Pietrowski said community members and sustainable energy companies will be able to provide input on wind and solar farms in DeKalb Coun-

DeKalb man jailed after gunfire at apartment

By DREW ZIMMERMAN

dzimmerman@shawmedia.com DeKALB – A DeKalb man suspected of shooting into the bedroom of an apartment in the 800 block of Kimberly Drive remained in jail Wednesday on $50,000 bond.

Police said Creashon Ross, 21, of the 800 block of Crane Drive, fired several shots at the apartment window about 8:45 Creashon a.m. Monday. Police Ross said that after the apartment’s tenant discovered the damage and reported it about 1:30 p.m., the police requested footage from surveillance cameras at a business in the area and were able to use it to identify Ross’ car.

An officer spotted the vehicle the next day at the Fas Mart on the 100 block of North Annie Glidden Road and encountered Ross, who was in the passenger seat and was arrested for two outstanding warrants for failure to appear in court, one for a local ordinance violation, the other for a trespassing

charge, according to a police news release.

Further investigation found that Ross had targeted the apartment because he believed that the tenant was someone who had been harassing him, the release said.

A search warrant for Ross’ apartment on the 800 block of Crane Drive led police to ammunition consistent with that used at the Kimberly apartment, police said.

He was charged with aggravated discharge of a firearm and unlawful possession of ammunition without a firearm owner’s identification card. If convicted of the most serious charge, unlawful possession of a firearm, he could face four to 15 years in prison.

Police Cmdr. Bob Redel commended the businesses that allowed police to use its surveillance systems to identify the suspect.

“These systems are becoming more and more prevalent, which is awesome for us in letting us do our job,” Redel said. “Without them and the community helping out, we’d still be working on this case.”

ANTIQUES AND COLLECTING

BY TERRY AND KIM KOVEL KOVELS.COM

This 20th-century Flora Danica porcelain platter is 18 1/2 inches by 14 1/4 inches. It features a tall, yellow mullein flower.

The dish is fully marked on the bottom with factory marks and the impressed number 3520. Auction price, $984 in a Skinner Inc. auction in Massachusetts. one side and 6-point star above a harp, clover and “Erin” on the other side. I don’t think it’s worth anything, but I’d like to know something about it.

A: The harp is the national symbol of Ireland. The 6-point star represents the six counties of Northern Ireland. Wolfe Tone, whose full name was Theobald Wolfe Tone, was one of the leaders of the Irish rebellion of 1798. He was born in Dublin, Ireland, in 1763 and was one of the founders of the Society of United Irishmen, which sought separation from Britain. Tone went to France to get French troops to support the revolt.

The first attempt, made in 1796, failed because of bad weather. The Society planned another rebellion in 1798, but the British found out about it and the leaders were captured. Wolfe Tone and the French forces were defeated before they made land. He was captured and sentenced to death but took his own life in September 1798. You must have dug in an old dump field with broken pipes from the 1800s. A local historical society might be interested in knowing about your experience and the pipe bowls. *** Q: I was given a silver bookmark by my grandmother, who was born in Holland in the early 1890s. It was hers as a child. The bookmark was dagger shape and would slip over the page. It was approximately 2 1/2 to 3 inches long and had a long burgundy tassel. It was stolen from my house. I’m looking

for prices for insurance purposes.

A: It’s impossible to give an accurate value for your grandmother’s silver bookmark without seeing it and weighing it. Do you remember if it had a maker’s mark? Was it solid silver or silver plate? Was it heavy? Silver bookmarks sell for $30 to $80 and most of the value is determined by the weight of the silver. *** Tip: Doors from a garage should have inside locks. Get a strong door. We know someone who came home to find a burglar had used an axe to “open” the door. *** Terry Kovel and Kim Kovel answer questions sent to the column.

Spring brings flowers, and this year designers are using more floral prints than usual for fabrics and designs. But a picture of a plant as a decoration on dinnerware is an old idea going back to at least the 1600s. In 1761, an Encyclopedia of Danish Flowers (Flora Danica) was commissioned by King Frederik V of Denmark. Thousands of hand-colored illustrations from engraved copper plates were made that accurately showed the wild flowers and plants. It was not completed until 1874, but some of the drawings were used to decorate a banquet service in 1790. The first Flora Danica dinner set of 1,802 pieces was made for King Christian VII to give as a gift to Russian Empress Catherine II of Russia. It is said it was to make up for not helping the Russians in the country’s war with Sweden. She died before the set was finished, so it stayed in Denmark. The remaining 1,530 pieces belong to Queen Margethe II and pieces have been used for special occasions.

You can still buy new dishes from the Royal Copenhagen factory or old ones at antiques shops and auctions. It is said to be the only 18th-century set that is still being made. Each piece has a single plant pictured as the decoration. Dishes can be ordered with the preferred plant.

A Flora Danica platter recently sold for almost $1,000. It was decorated with “Verbascum Thapsiforme Beuspidatum Shad.” We call it a mullein or velvet plant. The tall yellow flowers are used in herbal medicine. Today there are more than 300 varieties of mullein, and more are being propagated to get more flowers, shorter flower stalks and other changes. If you own a Flora Danica piece, be very careful. Even a tiny chip in the notched edge can lower the price by half or more. *** Handbag collecting has surged in popularity since 2010 when the first large auctions were introduced. Today purses by brands, like Hermes, are sold for prices over $100,000. Sales, shows, stores and online retailers are selling used, vintage handbags. Build your collection while prices of undiscovered

brands are low. This report includes Makers information, trademarks, information on fakes, care and 130 color photos for over 75 brands. Plus a free supplement with current prices.

Special Report, 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches, 46 pp. Available only from Kovels for $19.95 plus $4.95 postage and handling. Order by phone at 800-303-996, online at Kovels.com; or mail to Kovels, Box 22900, Beachwood, OH 44122. *** Q: I have a Cracker Jack AM radio my dad gave me when I was eight years old.

It runs on a 9-volt battery. It’s in perfect condition and tunes in clearly. Is it worth anything?

A: Cracker Jack was first made in 1896 by Rueckheim & Brother. The company became Rueckheim Bros. & Eckstein in 1902. Prizes were included in the packages beginning in 1912.

Cracker Jack radios like this were made in the 1970s in Hong Kong for Just Products, a New York company. They sell for about $25. *** Q: My mother saved “soakies,” the plastic bottle that held shampoo or bubble bath about 25 years ago. They were shaped like bottles with people or animal heads. She bought them to use the soap and thought they would later become popular collectibles, like milk bottles. Where are they being sold?

A: Soakies were popular as collectibles for a very short period of time in the late 1990s, and a few rare ones did sell for about $100. But the bottles were free and there still are a few used as packaging. Price is determined by supply and demand.

There is a big supply and almost no demand. It is a suggested hobby that often doesn’t attract collectors. Glass milk bottles were not popular with bottle collectors until the rarer earlier bottles became very expensive. Today a colored milk bottle or one with a war slogan or famous dairy name are the only ones selling for more than a few dollars.

Collectors also search for the old round cardboard bottle caps, which sell for 25 cents to a few dollars each to go with the bottles. *** Q: When my husband and I were digging for old bottles, we found an interesting old clay pipe bowl, but no stem. The bowl has “Wolfe 98 Tone” on

Kish College fees, tuition will jump 10.6 percent

By STEPHANIE MARKHAM

smarkham@shawmedia.com

MALTA – Kishwaukee College will be raising tuition and fees by $15 a credit hour next school year, an increase of about 10.6 percent.

The college’s board of trustees voted Tuesday to approve a $10-a-credit-hour tuition increase along with increasing the student technology fee by $5 a credit hour.

For the 2017-18 academic year, in-district tuition and fees will be $156 a credit hour, compared with $141 this Bob year. The technology Johnson fee also will increase from $6 to $11 a credit hour, while the $30 online course fee will be eliminated.

For a full-time student taking 12 credit hours, the increase means they will pay $180 more a semester, for a total of $1,872 in tuition and fees compared with $1,692 this year.

The $30 online course fee pays for software used for online learning, but those costs will be offset by the $5 technology fee increase, as the software funded by the fee is used in most courses, according to a news release from the college.

Board of trustees Chairman Bob Johnson said the college had been “backed into a corner” by the state budget impasse, and it already is collecting the maximum level of revenue from property taxes.

“It’s never the right time to increase tuition,” he said. “But the state of Illinois has decided in its infinite lack of wisdom that higher education

is not a priority.”

Johnson said people have been laid off and expenses cut wherever possible, and the college would have to cut course offerings without the increase in tuition.

“Our choice would be to greatly reduce the services we offer, or to ask students to pay somewhat more than they paid last semester,” he said.

President Laurie Borowicz said in a statement that the college must plan to cover most of its operational expenses without state revenue.

“If we receive state funds, they would be used to pay for deferred capital maintenance and other infrastructure improvements that will not otherwise happen,” she said.

The tuition and fee increase comes at a time when the college is faced with declining enrollment.

Overall enrollment is down about 6.7 percent this semester compared with the previous spring semester, with 3,130 students enrolled this spring, records show. Students are collectively signed up for 29,226 credit hours.

Johnson said enrollment trends were a factor in the board’s decision.

Despite struggles such as a poor state economy and fewer high school graduates, the college has been making an effort to reach more in-district students, he said.

“We are optimistic that we can hold the enrollment where it’s been,” Johnson said.

The Kishwaukee College Foundation, which awards $250,000 to students annually, is preparing to increase scholarship assistance to district students, according to the release.

Meet the Webster family

Tim and Cindy Webster made their home in DeKalb county when they attended NIU many years ago.

Music has always been a part of their family family.

When their oldest son was able to sing tenor, and the oldest daughter was willing to sing alto, they began singing in 4-part harmony. Over the past eight years they have enjoyed singing both spiritual and patriotic hymns as well as other acapella arrangements performed by the Gaither Vocal Band, GLAD, and Pentatonix. They perform regularly at six area nursing homes. Additionally, they have sung at anniversary and birthday parties, church services and funerals. They hope you will come out and hear them on April 1st!

By KIANNAH SEPEDA–MILLER The Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD – A Senate committee approved a new automatic voter registration plan Wednesday, sending to the floor a proposal that advocates said is tighter than one Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner rejected last year.

Democratic Sen. Andy Manar’s plan would allow residents to automatically register to vote when they visit certain state agencies. The Senate committee endorsed Manar’s measure Wednesday with a 10-3 vote.

Rauner vetoed similar legislation last year, fearing it did not contain enough safeguards to prevent voter fraud. Rauner’s spokeswoman, Eleni Demertzis, wouldn’t say whether he supports the new plan.

The updated version requires residents to confirm their eligibility before information is passed along to election officials or confidentially opt out instead. Its predecessor would have filed applications regardless, leaving election officials to follow up.

Supporters said the proposal would cut costs and bolster turnout by modernizing the registration process.

U.S. citizens already have the option to register to vote when they apply for a driver’s license or state ID at Secretary of State’s offices. Manar’s plan

Panel approves overtime rule for home care workers

SPRINGFIELD – A legislative panel in Illinois has failed to block a new overtime rule for home care workers that is expected to be in place by late summer.

The Joint Committee on Administrative Rules deadlocked twice along party lines after Democrats’ tried to stop the Department of Human Services from implementing the rule, The State Journal Register reported.

The department now can enforce the rule that will cap workers in the home services program at 40 hours a week, with some exceptions. The personal assistants help people with disabilities live in their homes rather than in a nursing home or another facility.

“The goal here is to make it easier for taxpaying citizens to interact with their government,” Manar said.

The department’s chief of staff, Fred Flather, said all of the agency’s clients will continue to receive the services they need.

Fairview Heights’ top cop named Illinois Chief of Year

SPRINGFIELD – The chief of police of Fairview Heights has been named Illinois Chief of the Year.

The Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police announced Tuesday that Chief Nicholas Gailius will receive the award at a ceremony next month.

Gailius has been chief in Fairview Heights since 2010. He started with the department as a police Explorer at age 14. He also has been a dispatcher, patrolman, detective and assistant chief.

the plan would help ensure young people get involved and cut down on confusion caused by people scrambling to register at the polls.

“Automatic voter registration will extend democracy to the communities that need it most,” Williams said.

Republican Rep. Mike Fortner of West Chicago contends voters can rest easy knowing the new system, set to take effect in July, would not hazard an influx of ineligible voters.

Participating agencies would use personal information filed in their system to verify whether a visitor qualifies to vote.

“This is a data set that is going to allow us to make a more secure check that people are qualified,” Fortner said. He is sponsoring similar legislation in the House.

The state’s leading election authority expressed doubts last session over whether they had the time and resources necessary to roll out the original plan.

But Illinois State Board of Elections attorney Ken Menzel told The Associated Press the latest version reduces that burden by having potential applicants opt-out upfront.

Automatic registration, he said, could help “smooth out” the spike in applications election authorities face ahead of major elections.

Gailius helped coordinate law enforcement response east of the Mississippi River during 2014 protests over a fatal shooting by police in Ferguson, Missouri.

In Fairview Heights he co-founded a youth mentoring program and created a program to improve communications between police and local neighborhoods.

Plane diverts after drink splashes electronic device

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A spilled beverage caused a Chicago-bound American Airlines flight to be diverted to Jacksonville, Florida. About 150 people were aboard Flight 1090 from Miami on Monday. The Florida Times-Union reported that firefighters were on standby as the plane landed at Jacksonville International Airport.

Airline spokesman Ross Feinstein said Wednesday the plane was diverted for maintenance after soda spilled on an electronic device in the main cabin. Feinstein said the device was part of the in-flight entertainment system that included a power port for a bulkhead seat.

Fed raises rate, sees more to the state, and he concluded that hikes as economy improves Hawaii was likely to succeed on WASHINGTON – The Federal Reserve has raised its benchmark interest rate for the second time in three months and forecast two additional hikes this year. The move reflects a consistently solid U.S. economy and will likely mean higher rates on some consumer and business loans.

The Fed’s key short-term rate is rising by a quarter-point to a still-low range of 0.75 percent to 1 percent. The central bank said in a statement that a strengthening job market and rising prices had moved it closer to its targets for employment and inflation.

The message the Fed sent Wednesday is that nearly eight years after the Great Recession ended, the economy no longer needs the support of ultra-low borrowing rates and is healthy enough to withstand steadily tighter credit.

“The illogic of the government’s contentions is palpable,” Watson wrote. “The notion that one can demonstrate animus toward any group of people only by targeting all of them at once is fundamentally flawed.”

Russian agents, hackers charged in Yahoo breach

By ERIC TUCKER

The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Two Russian intelligence agents and a pair of hired hackers have been charged in a devastating criminal breach at Yahoo that affected at least a half billion user accounts, the Justice Department said Wednesday in bringing the first case of its kind against current Russian government officials.

In a scheme that prosecutors said blended intelligence gathering with old-fashioned financial greed, the four men targeted the email accounts of Russian and U.S. government officials, Russian journalists and employees of financial services and other private businesses, U.S. officials said.

Using in some cases a technique known as “spear-phishing” to dupe Yahoo users into thinking they were receiving legitimate emails, the hackers broke into at least 500 million accounts in search of personal information and financial data such as gift card and credit card numbers, prosecutors said.

“We will not allow individuals, groups, nation states or a combination of them to compromise the privacy of our citizens, the economic interests of our companies or the security of our country,” said Acting Assistant Attorney General Mary McCord, the head of the Justice Department’s national security division.

The case, announced amid continued U.S. intelligence agency skepticism of their Russian counterparts, comes as U.S. authorities investigate Russian interference through hacking in the 2016 presidential election. Officials said those investigations are separate.

One of the Yahoo-related defendants, a Canadian and Kazakh national named Karim Baratov, has been taken into custody in Canada. Another, Alexsey Belan, is on the list of the FBI’s most wanted cyber criminals and has been in-

dicted multiple times in the U.S. It’s not clear whether he or the other two defendants, Dmitry Dokuchaev and Igor Sushchin, will ever step foot in an American courtroom since there’s no extradition treaty with Russia.

“I hope they will respect our criminal justice system,” McCord said.

The indictment identifies Dokuchaev and Sushchin as officers of the Russian Federal Security Service, or FSB. Belan and Baratov were paid hackers directed by the FSB to break into the accounts, prosecutors said.

Dokuchaev has been in custody in Russia since his arrest on treason charges in December, along with his superior and several others.

Russian media have reported that Dokuchaev and his superior were accused of passing sensitive information to the CIA. The media reports also have contended that Dokuchaev was arrested by the FSB several years ago and offered a choice: serve a long prison sentence on hacking charges or sign a contract to work for the agency.

The FSB hasn’t commented, and the Justice Department did not confirm that.

Yahoo didn’t disclose the breach until September, when it began notifying hundreds of millions of users that their email addresses, birth dates, answers to security questions and other personal information may have been stolen. Three months later, Yahoo revealed it had uncovered a separate hack in 2013 affecting about 1 billion accounts, including some that were also hit in 2014.

U.S. officials said it was especially galling that the scheme involved officers from a Russian counterespionage service that theoretically should be working collaboratively with its FBI counterparts.

“Rather than do that type of work, they actually turned against that type of work,” McCord said.

OUR VIEW

Read the report, Republicans “It’s just not believable,” Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price said Monday, after the Congressional Budget Office projected the GOP’s Obamacare repeal-and-replace bill would result in 24 million more Americans without coverage.

Here’s what is not believable: Price’s prediction that “our plan will cover more individuals at a lower cost and give them the choices that they want for the coverage,” a claim that expert after expert has deemed a fantasy.

Many Republicans are doing everything they can to discredit the nonpartisan CBO. But the office backed up its projections with solid and transparent economic analysis. Even as he criticized the report, Price admitted he had not read it. So what, other than wishful thinking, inspired his attacks? An expert score of his own? If he has one, his office would not share it with us when we asked Tuesday.

One major line of attack for Price and other Republicans is that Obamacare is so bad that almost anything else would be better.

“Right now, current law, we’ve got individuals who have health coverage but no health care,” Price said. But the GOP bill would make this problem worse, allowing insurers to hike out-of-pocket costs.

Meanwhile, the CBO discredited the argument that Obamacare is collapsing, concluding that the insurance market would be stable under current law.

The other major complaint is that the CBO scored only one of three stages of the GOP reform effort, not the whole picture. But a second stage – legislating further changes under normal parliamentary procedures in the Senate – would require 60 votes and is highly unlikely to happen. Another stage – Price promulgating rules changes from his perch at HHS – has yet to be fleshed out. If House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and the Trump administration want to hang the defense of their plan on yet-to-berevealed policy changes, they should reveal the full package before proceeding further. In the event, it is unlikely that further deregulation would improve the health care prospect for most Americans. In fact, Price’s rules changes would likely make it easier for insurers to sell plans that catered to young, healthy and wealthy people and left older, sicker and poorer folks struggling to obtain decent coverage they can afford.

There are some voices of reason within the GOP. “Let’s say the CBO is half-right; that should be cause for concern,’’said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. “So rather than attacking the CBO ... I would think the prudent thing for the party to do is to look at the CBO report and see if we can address some of the concerns raised.”

Here’s one other suggestion: Make the minor tweaks Obamacare needs and move on to solving genuine problems rather than creating new ones.

The Washington Post

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

WikiLeaks making world more dangerous Over the past decade, WikiLeaks has heedlessly published sensitive diplomatic cables, classified military files, secret trade documents and politically explosive emails.

Last week, it dumped thousands of new files it said are from the Central Intelligence Agency.

If authentic, as seems likely, it may prove the most destructive disclosure yet.

Most of the new material relates to tools used by the CIA to spy on terrorists or foreign adversaries by gaining access to smartphones, messaging applications and so on. The dump revealed little that was surprising to technologists, and nothing that was improper or abusive on the part of the agency.

The implications for national security, however, are alarming. Either the CIA has been infiltrated at a high level, or someone was extremely careless with secret material. Either way, the agency will have to expend substantial time and money investigating the leak, assessing the damage, and developing or buying new tools.

More worrisome is that the leak could severely harm the ability of American spies to do

their work. People who cooperated with the CIA overseas in planting or using these tools may now be in danger. Operations that relied on them are in jeopardy. Collaboration with the agency will become riskier. And the technical details the leak divulged will offer adversaries an illuminating glimpse into how the CIA and other U.S. spy agencies do business.

That creates problems throughout the U.S. government, from the State Department to the White House. When espionage can no longer be counted on to inform policymaking, diplomacy and negotiation becomes more difficult. Confusion and miscalculation become more likely.

Tensions escalate, and lives are put at risk.

A final problem is that the leak may destabilize an already polarized electorate. Kooks and cranks across the internet have seized on the revelations to assert that the CIA was meddling in the 2016 election, while pinning the blame on Russia.

Once upon a time, that kind of thing could safely be ignored.

These days – with conspiracy theories ascendant and the kooks unusually influential – it really

can’t be.

For all that, WikiLeaks has so far offered no plausible ideological or principled objection to what the CIA was doing. When Edward Snowden began leaking National Security Agency secrets in 2013, he claimed it was to expose mass surveillance of Americans. This latest trove shows just the opposite: highly targeted tools used to eavesdrop on individual foreign agents or terrorists. Exactly what spies are supposed to do, in other words.

So why would WikiLeaks want to publish highly classified material that harms U.S. intelligence agencies, aids terrorists, puts lives at risk and subverts American politics, all while exposing no evidence of wrongdoing? Perhaps more pertinently, what does the new White House think of all this?

“I love WikiLeaks!” Donald Trump exclaimed in October, just before he was elected president and just after the group released emails intended to harm his opponent. “It’s amazing how nothing is secret today when you talk about the internet.”

It is indeed amazing. And it is now the president’s problem.

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.

An immigration reform plan for the Trump age Lindsey Graham, the Republican senator from South Carolina, hasn’t given up on immigration reform. He was in the Senate to watch comprehensive bills he favored fall apart in 2006, 2007 and 2013. He was one of the presidential candidates whom Donald Trump beat for the Republican nomination in 2016.

Trump won that contest after saying he would deport all illegal immigrants over a two-year period.

But Trump softened on the issue after winning the nomination, and Graham now thinks he can work with him to achieve many of the aims of those earlier bills. He isn’t trying to revive comprehensive legislation one more time, but he also rejects the idea of tackling issues a la carte. If Republicans try to enact legislation that only increases enforcement of the immigration laws, he believes Democrats will block it.

Instead, he tells me, he favors a series of discrete deals.

The first one would combine rampedup enforcement, starting with “the bad dudes,” and the legalization of illegal immigrants who came here as minors.

Republicans are open to that legalization, he said, and it “would be hard for Democrats to say no to securing the border and helping these 800,000 kids have a better life.”

The second one would legalize adult illegal immigrants working in agricul-

VIEWS Ramesh Ponnuru ture and tourism, and at the same time require employers to use the e-verify program to make sure all new hires are legal workers.

Third, Graham would legalize those remaining illegal immigrants who passed a background check and paid a fine. In return he wants to shift legal immigration toward recruiting people with high skills rather than reuniting extended families.

“The immigration system of the future would be merit-based,” he said.

I opposed the previous bills that Graham supported, and I’m not completely sold on this plan. But it has enough attractive elements to make me think that those of us who are more hawkish than Graham on immigration should consider it.

The earlier bills would have substantially increased immigration, and lowskilled immigrants would have made up much of the increase. Most Americans don’t want that, and the economic case for it is weak. His current idea would not raise immigration levels.

Under earlier versions of compre-

hensive reform, illegal immigrants might have gotten legal status before effective enforcement measures were in place – because, for example, those measures were tied up in court. In that case, legalization could have acted as a magnet for more illegal immigration, and we would remain stuck in a cycle of illegal immigration and amnesty.

This three-step sequence would reduce this risk, because Congress would enact most of the legalization after enforcement had been implemented.

One reason advocates for illegal immigrants have opposed enforcement-first bills is that they have feared that Republicans would never get around to addressing their concerns once they got those bills enacted. Because Graham’s first step would include the legalization of illegal immigrants who came here as minors, however, it might be taken as a sign of good faith.

As leery as congressmen are about trying to address immigration again, Graham believes that the expiration of President Barack Obama’s executive order granting quasi-legal status to illegal immigrants who came here as minors will be a “tripwire” forcing action. Republicans don’t want Trump to renew their status – they said it was an abuse of power when Obama granted it – but fear the political consequences of exposing them to deportation again. So they

have an incentive to pass legislation granting legal status, but they will want to get something to make that legislation more congenial to conservatives.

The senator thinks he has one more thing going for him: the president.

“Here’s the key: Trump can do something no other Republican can do on immigration,” Graham said. What Trump can do is persuade the voters who are most concerned about illegal immigration that he is enforcing the law, and serious about making sure it is enforced in the future.

The fact that comprehensive reform got as far as it did in the past, Graham said, suggests that congressional majorities could be assembled for many of its components. All in all, he is more hopeful than most observers that a productive immigration compromise, or series of compromises, can be reached. For that to happen, many of the Republicans who blocked previous bills would have to come along.

What are the prospects of that?

Graham’s judgment: “I believe the party will follow Trump if he leads.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Mayor John Rey is a leader by example

To the Editor: Having known DeKalb Mayor John Rey for more than 50 years, we know the heart and integrity of this courageous man.

He leads by example and strives to make the city he loves to be an inclusive, always improving community.

When John was on the DeKalb School District 428 board, he worked diligently to ensure that all voices were heard and that they were participants in the process.

When John was project manager for the sanctuary addition to Westminster Presbyterian Church, he worked tirelessly to see that all components of the project were completed correctly and according to the plan.

As mayor of DeKalb, John has worked diligently to bring all people in the city to the table, either on boards and commissions or just as groups whose voices have been heard as the city progresses forward.

This has been no small task, but it is an important task. When people take ownership of their community, pride and participation increase.

John’s quality of character and his cooperative leadership style enhances life in DeKalb.

His sterling efforts to bring the diverse and sometimes marginalized residents of this fine city together to become active in the business of the city, not just to receive services, but to help direct those services, gives one a feeling of accomplishment and value.

Please join us April 4 and cast your vote to re-elect John Rey as our mayor.

Time to show leadership, Rep. Kinzinger

To the Editor: I am writing this as an open letter to my congressional representative, Mr. Adam Kinzinger, since he is too busy to meet with his constituents.

Rep. Kinzinger, the alleged hacking of our election by a hostile foreign power, Russia, and the possible collusion of President Donald Trump’s advisers is the single greatest threat to American democracy.

The fact that two Cabinet-level appointees lied (one under oath) about their contacts with Russian officials only heightens my concern. The president’s tweeted accusations that our former President Barack Obama wiretapped his properties raises the stakes even further.

As you know, wiretapping without a warrant is illegal. Wiretapping after obtaining a warrant implies that a judge found probable cause to issue the warrant. Either situation suggests that illegal actions by people close to and perhaps directed by at least one of our presidents is highly likely.

Americans deserve to know the truth about Russia’s involvement in our recent election and our presidents’ possible involvement. Mr. Kinzinger, I was extremely disappointed by your recent vote not to require the president to provide his tax returns.

Opening his tax returns to congressional scrutiny would have allowed Congress to confirm or deny potential financial conflicts of interest involving Russia. Furthermore, when a Republican senator says, “I just don’t think it’s useful to be doing investigation after investigation, particularly of

your own party,” he erodes my faith that our elected representatives place loyalty to country above loyalty to party.

When Reps. Devin Nunes, R-California, and Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, investigate the whistleblowers instead of those who lied, and lied under oath, I have no faith that a Republican- or Democrat-led investigation will yield the truth.

The only chance to convince a majority of Americans that a complete and impartial investigation will be done is to appoint a special prosecutor. That prosecutor must be impartial and should fully investigate the communications between the president’s advisers and the Russians.

The investigation also should include the current president’s potential involvement in those communications and the alleged wiretapping by the former president.

Rep. Kinzinger, this is an opportunity for you to show real leadership and push your colleagues in Congress to appoint that special prosecutor. Your constituents are watching. History is watching.

It’s your move, Mr. Kinzinger.

18 2017 DAILY CHRONICLE GIRLS BOWLER OF THE YEAR

Kolberg wins 2nd straight POY Sycamore senior goes out with strong postseason showing

By EDDIE CARIFIO

ecarifio@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – Even with her scoring average lower than last year, Alexis Kolberg still made Sycamore girls bowling history.

Kolberg took 41st at the state tournament in Rockford, which according to coach Andy Hampton was the highest finish for a Spartans girl bowler in the program’s history. She averaged a 196 both at state and for the season, and was named the Daily Chronicle Girls Bowler of the Year for the second year in a row.

“I couldn’t be any more thrilled for her,” Hampton said. “I knew as long as she was around, we’d be a pretty good club. She was more of a leader than I ever could have hoped for. Her shoes are not going to be able to be filled.”

While her average was down a few pins from last year, Kolberg surged in the postseason. The Spartans finished 213 pins off qualifying for state as a team, but Kolberg led the Spartans with a 1,266 to take sixth in the sectional and qualify as an individual.

When the year started, Kolberg said that expectations weren’t high for the team given that freshmen made up about half the starting lineup. But the Spartans went undefeated in conference play for a second straight year and those expectations increased, with the goal becoming to make state as a team.

“We thought coming in we’d have a rebuilding year, and we didn’t,” Kolberg said. “It completely surprised us and we kind of came out of nowhere, and had a really good year. I’d say it was one of the best years I had as a part of the team.

“I think in the beginning it was kind of like we’re going to do what we’re going to do,” she said. “Then we started placing in tournaments and taking conference points, and we realized (a postseason run) was something we could do.”

Kolberg – who qualified for state two years ago when the Spartans made it as a team – said reaching the season finale as an individual was a unique experience.

“It was kind of a big deal,” Kolberg said. “I went as a sophomore and wanted to get back one more time.

Kolberg rolled a strong 667 to start the first series at state, but struggled in Game 4, putting up a season-low 128. She only rolled a 511 in the second series of the day.

“I had a 195 average even with the bad game,” Kolberg said. “It was really hard conditions, and there’s a lot of good bowlers out there. I wouldn’t say it’s intimidating, but the competition is there, and I definitely felt it.”

On the second day, she rolled a 570 in the morning series and closed with a 602 in the final three games to move up to 41st.

“Nine out of 10 bowlers, that probably sinks their ship,” Hampton said about the 128. “But she came back and fought hard. ... She came out after lunch and shot a 246 Game 4 and got to the finish line. She’s just calm.

She doesn’t get excited, she doesn’t get emotional about things. And that’s what this sport is, surviving

the highs and lows, surviving your emotions.”

She finished with a 195.8 average for the 12 games, which Hampton said highlighted her consistency throughout the year.

“She was very steady,” Hampton said. “She just seemed to build a couple steps here, a couple steps there, as the year went along. Then we got to the home stretch, and the weekend at sectionals was unbelievable.”

Kolberg said as the postseason began, the realization that her prep career was coming to an end hit her hard and motivated her through the final three weeks.

“I think I realized this is it, and I better make the best of it,” Kolberg said. “No matter what happens I’m going to graduate so I might as well go out with a bang. I was hoping we could all go as a team and that was the goal going into sectionals, but I think I just had a better mindset.”

us? This is just cruel.’ It was a good feeling to know my senior year wasn’t over and we still have another shot.”

The Jackrabbits (22-8 overall, 12-6 in Summit League) have four players scoring in double figures – five, including Macy Miller, who averaged 14.9 points in nine games before getting injured for the season.

NIU Media Services Madison Guebert leads the team with 15.2 points a game, joined with 6-foot NIU senior guard Cassidy Glenn shoots in a game against Toledo earlier this season. junior guard Kerri Young (13.3 ppg, 4.9 rpg), 6-foot-1 senior forward Ellie Thompson (13.3 ppg, 6.9 rpg) and 6-foot-2 senior center Clarissa Ober (10.0 ppg, 7.7 rpg).

Although the Huskies have been solid on the road – 10-5 on the season – the Jackrabbits, who have a 10.6 point differential a game this season, have been 12-1 at home. Johnston said that in his 17-year run at South Dakota State, the Jackrabbits have won about 90 percent of their home games.

For NIU, it’s been a breakout season in the second campaign under Carlsen. The Huskies won 20 games for the first time since 1993-94 and are making their first postseason appearance since 1994-95. In the first season under Carlsen, the Huskies went 1119 overall and 4-14 in the MAC. In the second year, the Huskies went 12-6 in conference play and made the MAC Championship for the first time in program history.

“You always hope for it – the sooner the better,” Carlsen said about the emergence of the Huskies. “I’m not the most patient person, but I think the buy-in from this group was a lot quicker and better than I anticipated it would be. Transition is hard; no matter what it is, it’s hard. You don’t know how long it’s going to take to really flip the page and really buy in from everybody. We got lucky that’s what we had.”

DeKALB – It’s been a while.

Yes, it’s been more than two decades since the Northern Illinois women’s basketball team has made the postseason, but it’s been a long time since Huskies coach Lisa Carlsen faced off against South Dakota State coach Aaron Johnston in the Division II ranks.

When the Huskies play against the Jackrabbits in the first round of the Women’s National Invitational Tournament at 7 p.m. Thursday, Carlsen and Johnston will coach against each other for the first time since 2004.

“He’s built quite a program there,” Carlsen said about Johnston, who is in his 17th year with South Dakota State and faced Carlsen’s Nebraska-Omaha team eight times in four seasons. “They’re used to postseason basketball, and it ought to be a great atmosphere. They have a great following. They love basketball out there.”

When Carlsen coached with Nebraska-Omaha from 2000-04, the Mavericks played against the Jackrabbits when the two were in the same conference in Division II. Johnston won six of the eight games – including taking the two games in the 2003-04 season by a combined 80 points before the Jackrabbits moved up to Division I the next season.

“I remember I was just getting started at that point. The (North Central Conference) was a phenomenal Division II women’s basketball league. It was as good as there were in the country,” said Johnston, who is 414-141 (74.6 percent) during his long tenure at South Dakota State. “Right away, when we found out we were playing Northern Illinois, one of my first thoughts was I’ll be able to bring Lisa back to Brookings.”

While the Jackrabbits have made the NCAA tournament in seven of the past nine seasons, the Huskies (21-11) were on the verge of making the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1995 – they led by four points early in the fourth quarter before falling, 82-71, to Toledo in the Mid-American Conference Championship. For the players, the idea of waiting until Monday night to find out whether their season would go on was nerve-wracking.

“It was stressful,” said Huskies senior Cassidy Glenn, who averages 14.2 points a game. “We knew we’d find out between 7 (p.m.) and 8 (p.m.) and we didn’t find out until 7:58. We were like, ‘Why are they doing this to

“You always hope for it – the sooner the better. I’m not the most patient person, but I think the buy-in from this group was a lot quicker and better than I anticipated it would be.

Transition is hard; no matter what it is, it’s hard.”

22 NCAA WRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIPS

NIU’s Bleise starting with rematch

By JESSE SEVERSON

jseverson@shawmedia.com It took more than three periods to decide the match the last time Northern Illinois sophomore wrestler Steve Bleise faced Old Dominion’s Michael Hayes.

Now the two conference opponents will square off in the first round of the NCAA Championships on Thursday at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis.

Bleise, who comes into the tournament as the No. 14 seed at 149 pounds, is 2-0 on the season against Hayes – including a 9-7 overtime victory in the Mid-American Conference Championships earlier this month.

“Every match is a brand new situation and brings a life of its own, so we prepare from scratch and we have to go out there and let it fly,” NIU coach Ryan Ludwig said. “You can’t let it affect you because the minute you say,

‘I’ve beaten this guy twice, it should happen again,’ then you’re in trouble.”

Bleise also defeated Hayes, 9-3, during a dual earlier this year. The sophomore is making his second appearance in the NCAA Championships and is joined by four other Huskies in the biggest tournament of the season – freshman Brock Hudkins (125) and seniors Shaun’Qae McMurty (165), Trace Engelkes (174) and Shawn Scott (197).

Scott is making his third trip to the NCAA Championships and he finished in the final 12 during the 2016 tournament. However, Ludwig said Scott’s success last season doesn’t matter heading into this week.

“Last year is last year,” Ludwig said. “It’s a totally new year. It’s a completely new tournament and a new three-day season now. The focus now is to get out there and get to his offense and have an aggressive mindset. When Shawn is on the attack, that’s when

GRIZZLIES 98, BULLS 91

he’s at his best.”

Scott (24-7) is the No. 11 seed and will face off against Cornell’s Benjamin Honis (27-13) in the first round.

Engelkes, who narrowly missed the NCAA Championships last season, is the No. 15 seed and will wrestle against Princeton’s Jonathan Schleifer (27-13) in the first round. Engelkes is coming off a second-place finish in the MAC Championships.

Hudkins (18-10) and McMurty (1010) are both making their first trip to the NCAA Championships and had a successful showing at the MAC tournament. Hudkins finished fourth to earn one of the five automatic bids and McMurty took third to qualify.

“On paper, you have to say that (it was a surprise), but we were talking about that before the MAC Championship, and we fully expected Brock to be able to qualify with five spots and Shaun’Qae had the next best chance

with three,” Ludwig said. “I really liked how he was competing. As a coaching staff, we were 100 percent confident that our guys had a great shot at getting those bids.”

Hudkins faces No. 5 seed Tim Lambert (28-6, Nebraska) and McMurty faces No. 1 seed Isaiah Martinez (27-0, Illinois) in the first round.

This is the 46th consecutive season that the Huskies have sent at least one wrestler to the NCAA Championships and they’ve sent a combined nine in the past two seasons. The five who qualified this season are the most by an NIU wrestling team since 1985. On Wednesday, Ludwig said he liked his team’s attitude the night before the important tournament.

“I think overall, our attitude and energy are in a great place right now,” he said. “From our freshman Brock Hudkins to our fifth-year seniors, everybody seems laid back and ready to go.”

BLACKHAWKS

Wade hurt, Butler struggles Anisimov out, Schmaltz in

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com CHICAGO – Job security shouldn’t be a concern for Fred Hoiberg these days.

After all, the second-year coach has already received a vote of confidence from his front office, and with three years, $15 million still left on his current contract after this year, there would seem to be more pressing priorities atop Hoiberg’s list.

But that doesn’t mean that Hoiberg’s world is pressure-free by any means.

“Obviously there’s a ton of pressure in this league, but my only focus is on [the next] game,” Hoiberg said, when asked if he felt his job could be in jeopardy if the Bulls missed the playoffs for a second consecutive season. “The only way you can [compartmentalize] is to continue to work, continue to grind, and again, that’s our focus.

“It’s on the next game, it’s on the next day, and how we can make our team better.”

That “next game’’ was all Hoiberg had to look forward to after a 98-91 loss to Memphis on Wednesday night.

With Dwyane Wade (right elbow sprain) forced to leave the game in the fourth quarter, and Jimmy Butler having a rough 4-for-16 shooting night, the

Bulls (32-36) have now lost six of their past seven games and continued to slide out of the Eastern Conference playoff race.

It was the Wade injury that was the latest red flag for those playoff hopes, with the veteran scheduled to get an MRI on Thursday, but not sounding real optimistic on a quick return.

“This is a first,” Wade said of the injury. “Hopefully it’s not as bad as I perceived it to be. Just try and see what the doctors say and start my rehab process.

“My concern level is there’s only 14 games left, and I’ve never had this injury so I can’t say two days, two weeks, I don’t know. I know Jimmy had something similar to this before – that’s what they told me – so I talked to him and I don’t like what he has to say about this.

So that’s my concern level, that we’re trying to make the playoffs and there’s only 14 games left, and I don’t know how long this is going to take to get better.”

Hoiberg’s hope is that his more experienced players can keep this playoff hope afloat, and his players were all in on that philosophy.

“It definitely helps with chemistry,” veteran Rajon Rondo said.

The problem was that Memphis had some chemistry of its own working, as Mike Conley and Marc Gasol each scored 27 points.

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com OTTAWA – Nick Schmaltz isn’t Artem Anisimov.

Schmaltz is more of a playmaker, a speedy and skilled guy with a knack for making jaw-dropping passes. Anisimov is more of a power forward, a big body who makes his living just outside of the crease, screening goalies and banging home rebounds.

But when Schmaltz steps in between Artemi Panarin and Patrick Kane, he seems to get the same results as Anisimov – a lot of chances and a lot of goals.

“It’s two great play- Artem ers, and they make my Anisimov job easy,” Schmaltz said. “I just try to find that open ice, and I know I’m going to get the puck from those guys, because they have such good playmaking abilities. It’s pretty easy when you’re playing with two guys that kind of think the same game, and always know where each other are on the ice.”

Schmaltz has proven a worthy Plan B for the Hawks as a second-line center, and it’ll be his job for the foreseeable future. Anisimov will miss three to four weeks – just about the rest of

the regular season – with the left leg injury he suffered Tuesday night in Montreal. Joel Quenneville had said it was “not serious” after the game, but Anisimov took a flight home to Chicago on Wednesday while the team rode a bus to Ottawa.

Quenneville said that Anisimov, who set a career high with his 45th point Tuesday night before getting injured, “hopefully” will be back before the playoffs. So Schmaltz will move from Jonathan Toews’ left wing to Kane’s center. And the Hawks are quite comfortable with him there, after catching a glimpse earlier in the month when Anisimov was injured against Pittsburgh.

Schmaltz is a natural center, but he knows he has to focus more on faceoffs now that he’s in the middle, especially with two wingers who don’t take faceoffs at all. Schmaltz won just two of 14 draws against Montreal. It’s one of the many subtle adjustments he’ll have to make as he segues from one dream line to another.

“It’s a little different,” he said.

“I need to be better defensively and on the draw. I struggled on the draw [Tuesday], it was tough just getting thrown in there. But I’m working to get better, and it’s always exciting to play with those two guys.”

“Given that many of his peripheral numbers remained the same or similar, including his swing and contact rates, it’s difficult to call this a new norm for Heyward,” a FanGraphs analysis states.

“It’s more likely the result of a mechanical flaw that he’s spent the winter correcting, and we should see harder contact and, subsequently, a more frequent on-base presence from Jason Heyward.

For now, though, he’s not nearly the surefire pick that he’s been in years past, but he could very easily return to prominence in 2017.”

WHITE SOX SPRING TRAINING

Moncada puts power in quiet spring with pair of homers

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

GLENDALE, Ariz. – White Sox top prospect Yoan Moncada hit consecutive home runs in his last two at-bats Wednesday, including one against hard-throwing Royals right-hander Kelvin Herrera. Moncada’s first homer came against starter Jason Hammel, who had shut out the Sox until then.

It served as a needed shot in the arm for the 21-year-old switch-hitter acquired in the trade for Chris Sale.

Moncada came into the game batting

.200 with 13 strikeouts in 13 games and no homers. Before going deep, Moncada, playing second base, made his team-high fifth error of the spring on Raul Yoan Mondesi’s ground ball Moncada in the fifth inning.

“I’ve been putting a lot of effort in my defense because that’s an area I know I can improve,’’ Moncada said through team translator Billy Russo. “But I’m also putting a lot of effort into my offense because you can’t just worry about one aspect of

the game.”

While Moncada hadn’t done much offensively, he has shown flashes of his speed with a triple and an easy, smooth swing. The Sox like his patient approach at the plate.

“This is a process and you know

that you have to keep on working in this process,’’ Moncada said. “You’re going to have ups and downs. I’m very happy with the process. The results are going to be there when I need it.”

“He’s chipping away at the approaches, trying to see enough pitches and get himself into a rhythm,’’ manager Rick Renteria said Tuesday.

“He’s had really good moments in the games he’s played.

“We like where it’s going, he’s improving and he’s a young man just scratching at the surface of what he can potentially can be. Time and experience will ultimately what he is.”

• Thursday, March 16, 2017

The Cubs didn’t sign Jason Heyward solely because of his Gold Glove pedigree in right field.

Nor did they sign him for his oratorical skills.

These two things certainly helped the Cubs last year, but the team gave Heyward an eight-year, $184 million contract so he could produce with his bat.

That didn’t happen last season, as Heyward slumped to a batting line of .230/.306/.325 for an OPS of .631 and an OPS-plus of only 70. He hit 7 homers and drove in 49.

That led to a winter of tearing things down and building them back up as Heyward worked with hitting coach John Mallee and assistant Eric Hinske.

Heyward’s swing appears to be more fluid, but the early results from the Cactus League show it’s a work in progress.

Through Tuesday’s action in Arizona, Heyward was 4 for 29 (.138) with a homer and 6 RBIs. Heyward has dealt with all the media inquiries with his usual grace. Whether he’s going well or going poorly, he’ll often wait for reporters so they can ask him questions.

“You don’t have to admit anything,” he said. “It is what it is. It’s right there.

Baseball is a game that’s going to humble you every day. You’re going to fail more times than you’re going to succeed.

“It’s all about how you handle that as an individual and as a group. We handled that the best out of anyone last year as a team, and that’s why we were able to win the World Series. I feel that’s the name of the game. Whoever wins the

The legacy endures

‘Beauty and the Beast’ aims to enchant a new generation

By LINDSEY BAHR

The Associated Press

I

n 1991, Disney struck gold with “Beauty and the Beast.” The film enchanted audiences and critics alike, and raked in several hundred million dollars along the way, but also upended expectations of what an animated film could be.

Not only did the New York Times theater critic controversially call it the best Broadway musical score of the year (spurring an actual Broadway show three years later), it also was the first-ever animated film to be nominated for a best picture Oscar.

Over a quarter century later, the legacy endures but times have changed, and there’s a new “Beauty and the Beast” on the block. Out Friday, the film is a lavish live-action reimagining of the “tale as old as time” with state-of-the-art CG splendor, Howard Ashman and Alan Menken’s classic songs and score (and a few new tunes with Tim Rice), and a modern social consciousness.

The film stars “Harry Potter’s” Emma Watson as the bookish heroine Belle, who yearns for adventure outside of the confines of her “small provincial town,” and “Downton Abbey” alum Dan Stevens as the cursed and cold Beast. Their supporting cast is a coterie of veterans, including Kevin Kline (Maurice), Emma Thompson (Mrs. Potts), Ian McKellen (Cogsworth), Audra McDonald (Madame Garderobe), Stanley Tucci (Maestro Cadenza) and Ewan McGregor (Lumiere).

That Disney’s specific vision for “Beauty and the Beast” has lived on is no surprise, and its 13-year run on Broadway helped keep it in the cultural consciousness.

“It’s genuinely romantic, a genuinely beautiful story,” Menken said of its lasting appeal.

Then there’s the nostalgia aspect. For many (including the cast), this was a seminal childhood film.

Luke Evans (Gaston) saw it when he was 12, Josh Gad (LeFou) when he was 10, and Gugu Mbatha-Raw (Plumette) when she was 8. Suffice it to say, they all knew the lyrics to the songs before they were cast.

The remake is also part of the Walt Disney Company’s ongoing strategy to mine their vaults for animated fare worthy of live-action re-creations.

“Mulan,” “The Little Mermaid,” “Aladdin” and “The Lion King” are just a few already in the works.

But that doesn’t mean there weren’t worthy updates to be made in “Beauty and the Beast.” Director Bill Condon (“Dreamgirls”) delighted in rooting the story in a specific time and place – 1740 France – and adorning every last corner of the production with Rococo and Baroque details.

Technology advances allowed the production to render household objects that look believable when brought to life. The Beast’s look, meanwhile, was achieved by combining performance capture and MOVA, a facial capture system, meaning Stevens throughout production walked on stilts and sported a prosthetic muscle suit with a gray body suit on top.

(Yes, he danced in this getup).

This image released by Disney shows Dan Stevens as The Beast and Emma Watson as Belle in a live-action adaptation of the animated classic “Beauty and the Beast.”

The characters are more fleshed out as well. The Beast gets a backstory. As does Belle, whose independence looked refreshingly radical in ’91 and goes even further here.

“She’s a 21st century Disney princess. She’s not just a pretty girl in a dress,” Evans said. “She’s fearless and needs no one to validate her.”

That the woman behind the character is also the UN women’s goodwill ambassador only adds to its resonance.

And, in a tribute to Ashman, who died of complications relating to AIDS at age 40 before the 1991 film came out, the production even unearthed forgotten lyrics from his notes, which they’ve added to two songs in the new film – “Gaston” and “Beauty and the Beast.”

While many of the beats, and even lines, remain the same as in ’91, the world looks more diverse from the very first shots. Faces of all races can be seen both in the grand castle and the country town. “[Condon] wanted to make a film that was resonant for 2017, that represents the world as it is today,” said Mbatha-Raw. Much has been made, too, of LeFou’s subtle “gay moment,” which put the internet in a tizzy far ahead

of anyone actually seeing the film. On one side, GLAAD was applauding, on the other, a Facebook page apparently belonging to the Henagar Drive-In Theatre in Henagar, Alabama, announced that it would not be showing the film.

Many in the production have backed away from the topic entirely.

“To define LeFou as gay ... nobody who sees the movie could define it that way. He’s enthralled with Gaston,” Menken said. “I’m happy that LeFou is getting so much attention. But I pray that this stupid topic goes away because it’s just not relevant with any respect to the story. Even the one moment that’s being discussed is just a silly little wink. It’s nothing.”

For his part, Gad thinks it’s been “overblown,” too, and that the story is more about “inclusiveness” and not judging a book by its cover.

“It’s a story with a lot of wonderful messages, and, really once you watch the film, anyone who is wondering what it’s all about will understand that it’s a beautiful story, inclusive of everyone. It’s a legacy that I’m proud to be part of,” Evans added.

“But you can judge Gaston by his cover,” he said with a smirk. “That’s exactly who he is.”

Friday is St. Patrick’s Day, so this whole weekend will be about celebrating it. If you’re a beer fan, head to your favorite pub (an Irish-themed one works well, of course) for some Guinness or Harp or another Irish favorite. You can also try some Irish food, or make your own at home.

An easy dinner would be corned beef and cabbage and champ. Many towns hold parades and other special events for St. Patrick’s Day, so check around for listings.

The Northern Illinois School of Theatre and Dance will perform “Picnic,” a 1950s romance written by William Inge. It opens March 23 at the Diversions Lounge in the Holmes Student Center, 340 Carroll Ave. in DeKalb.

First written and performed in 1953, Inge’s play tells the story of a drifter named Hal making his way through Kansas. He stops in a small town to work for Helen Potts, an older woman in town. He becomes reacquainted with his old college friend, Alan Seymour, and winds up falling in love with Alan’s girlfriend Madge Owens. Madge is a young 18-year-old, who deals with finding her identity outside of being labeled a “pretty one,” while her sister Millie attempts to escape the shadow of her sister.

Throughout the show, Inge creates a strong dynamic among the characters using themes of identity and sexual awakening. Inge is a Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and novelist whose works generally contain solitary characters who constantly battle with their sexuality and relationships.

“It’s a classic play that rivals the works of Tennessee Williams, but it’s a lesser known show,” Bryant Hayes, who plays Hal, said in a news release. “I really enjoy Hal as a character ‘cause I feel like characters like him are often misunderstood. This is the first time he’s fallen in love and it drives him crazy. He’s had a crazy life, but this is the first thing he can latch on to. It discusses falling in love for the first time and how that’s uncomfortable, and it’s about figuring out how to accept it and live in it.”

“Picnic” is directed by graduate student Margaret Scanlan.

“I write and study the American Masculinity, specifically the era of the ‘Lost Man’ post-World War II, when men were no longer sure of their role in society and where women were waking up to new possibilities,” Scanlan said.

Performances will be held at NIU’s Holmes Student Center, in the Diversions Lounge, 340 Carroll Ave. in DeKalb. Show times are at 7:30 p.m. March 23, 24 and 25 and 2 p.m.

‘Sleeping Beauty’ this weekend at Egyptian Theatre DAILY CHRONICLE The Beth Fowler Dance Company of Genoa and St. Charles will present “The Sleeping Beauty” this weekend at the Egyptian Theatre in DeKalb.

The ballet based on a classic fairy tale is a masterpiece of dance drama created in the 19th century through a collaboration of ballet master Marius Petipa and Russian composer Peter Tchaikovsky. The ballet is now seen and heard throughout the world, delighting young and old with the magic and wonder of the young princess who sleeps 100 years and is awakened by the kiss of a prince.

The local production will offer enjoyment to audiences of all ages with beautiful dancing, costumes and sets as the story of Sleeping Beauty comes to life. Every child ticket includes a trip backstage to take a photo and meet Princess Aurora and all her friends.

Company member Hannah Whitten of Genoa will dance the title role as Princess Aurora. She has performed many principal roles for the Beth Fowler Dance Company, most recently as the Sugar Plum Fairy in this season’s “The Nutcracker.”

Joining the company again is alum Wade Tischhauser of Chicago, who will perform as Prince Florimundo. He most recently performed as the Snow King in the Beth Fowler Dance Company’s production of “The Nutcracker.”

Other principal dancers are alum Lydia Carpenter of Sycamore as the Lilac Fairy and Lyndsey Haugen of St. Charles as Carabosse, who portray the struggle

between good and evil.

The audience will see favorite storybook characters who are special guests at the wedding of Sleeping Beauty and the Prince. Company members performing these roles are Becky Baert as Red Riding Hood and Kaitlyn Rollo as the Wolf; Wade Tischhauser as Puss In Boots and Haley Young as the White Cat; Samantha Scolaro as Snow White, who brings along the Seven Dwarfs and Justine McCormack as Cinderella, accompanied by her mice friends and Anne Fritsch as her cat Lucifer.

Company dancers will perform as soloists in the Fairy Court and in the corps de ballet. Dancers from the Beth Fowler School of Dance will perform the children’s roles.

Original choreography is by Marius Petipa. Additional choreography is by Beth Fowler and Hannah Bohn.

Costume and volunteer coordinator is Madlyn Steffey.

Show times are at 1 p.m. and 6 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday.

Tickets cost $17 for children younger than 12 and $22 for adults. All tickets are for reserved seating. Premium tickets are available in the first five rows at a cost of $22 for children younger than 12 and $27 for adults.

Tickets are available at www.egyptiantheatre.org or 815-758-1225. Tickets also will be available at the door one hour before each performance.

Indian Valley Theatre offers four-show ticket package DAILY CHRONICLE Indian Valley Theatre is offering a package deal of four live shows for the 2017-18 Season at the Sandwich Opera House for $53.

This limited special package includes: “Unsinkable Molly Brown”: This spirited tale of a legendary, real-life American original follows the exploits of Molly Brown, whose feisty determination to rise above her impoverished beginnings leads her from the backwoods of Hannibal, Missouri, to the palaces of Europe. Along the way, she marries a lucky prospector, enters the highest echelons of Monte Carlo society, survives the sinking of the Titanic and, most importantly, earns the approval she so desperately seeks of those “Beautiful People of Denver.”

Show dates are July 14 through 16.

“Love, Lies & the Doctor’s Dilemma”: It is Joan’s birthday, and she is

looking forward to a quiet day with her beloved Sandy. The arrival of her

movie star sister-in-law, Olivia, and a mobster, Vinny, on the trail of her son Chris, to collect gambling debts, turns their day upside down. Joan, not prepared to face the overbearing, moralizing Olivia, persuades Sandy to hide their relationship and explains his presence by saying he is her psychiatrist.

That first little white lie, leads to another and another and another.

Enter Rachael, Joan’s new neighbor whose life story consists of one unmitigated calamity after another. To top it off, Rachael takes an immediate liking to Joan and Sandy’s daily “brownies,” and keeps showing up for more. That takes care of the love and the lies, but what about the doctor’s dilemma?

Everybody now wants a session with Sandy “The Shrink.” Show dates are Oct. 20 through 22.

“A Mostly Minnesota Christmas”:

‘Tis the season to be merry … and annoyed by your family. As Bill and Abby prepare for Christmas in frigid northern Minnesota, long-estranged

relatives start showing up on their doorstep to heal old wounds and reconcile irreconcilable differences.

Besides the surprise relatives, Abby is busy producing and directing the Christmas pageant at her church and let’s face it, bringing together one’s family to celebrate Christmas never goes quite as planned. With a sharp tongue and a soft heart, this rollicking comedy is a reminder of how Christmas and family go hand-in-hand, no matter what happens. Show dates are Dec. 1 through 3.

“On Golden Pond”: This is the love story of Ethel and Norman Thayer, who are returning to their summer home on Golden Pond for the 48th year. He is a retired professor, nearing 80, with heart palpitations and a failing memory – but still as tarttongued, observant and eager for life as ever. Ethel, 10 years younger, and the perfect foil for Norman, delights in all the small things that have enriched and continue to enrich their long life together. They are visited by

their divorced, middle-aged daughter and her dentist fiancé, who then go off to Europe, leaving his teenage son behind for the summer. The boy quickly becomes the “grandchild” the elderly couple have longed for, and as Norman revels in taking his ward fishing and thrusting good books at him, he also learns some lessons about modern teenage awareness – and slang – in return. In the end, as the summer wanes, so does their brief idyll, and in the final, deeply moving moments of the play, Norman and Ethel are brought even closer together by the incidence of a mild heart attack. Show dates are March 2 through 4, 2018.

There are three ways to purchase this season package: Contact the box office by calling 888-365-8889; mail in an order with requested dates and check to: IVT, P.O. Box 45, Sandwich, IL 60548, or visit www.indianvalleytheatre.com.

ASK THE DOCTORS Elizabeth Ko and Eve Glazier ture and “chew” that insoluble fiber adds to food make a meal more interesting, it travels relatively unchanged through the digestive tract and gives much-needed bulk to stool. This results in easier and more regular elimination. Insoluble fiber also helps to control the pH of the colon, and helps to prevent microbes from producing cancerous substances.

How much fiber do you need? Current recommendations put the number at 25 grams a day for women younger than 50, and 38 grams a day for men younger than 50. For adults older than 50, the number is 21 grams a day for women, and 30 grams a day for men.

Although all kinds of fiber supplements are available, they lack vitamins, minerals and micronutrients, so it’s better to eat whole foods. Most fruits, vegetables, beans, legumes and grains contain both soluble and insoluble fiber, but in differing amounts. For the best results, eat from a wide range of foods.

If fiber has been missing from your diet, it’s wise to add it slowly. Make the change to a high-fiber diet too quickly and you run the risk of unpleasant side effects, such as gas.

And be sure to drink plenty of liquid to keep the fiber – and your digestive tract – moving smoothly.

Dear Doctor: Our family went out to dinner the other night, and when I urged our kids to order a salad instead of french fries because of the dietary fiber in salads, they challenged me to explain why. I was embarrassed that all I could come up with about the benefits of fiber was “because it’s good for you.” Can you help?

Dear Reader: Don’t feel bad! With your brief answer, you got right to the heart of the matter – dietary fiber is integral to a well-balanced diet and to a healthy life. It lowers your risk of heart disease, diabetes and certain cancers, prevents constipation, stabilizes blood sugar and can help you maintain a healthy weight.

But kids are often natural skeptics when it comes to any kind of rules, so we’re happy to help you out with the science of why dietary fiber matters.

Let’s start with what we’re referring to when we talk about fiber. Dietary fiber is the part of the fruit, vegetable or grain that your body cannot digest and absorb.

It falls into two basic categories. Fiber that can dissolve in water is known as soluble fiber. Fiber that cannot dissolve in water, and which passes through the body pretty much intact, is known as insoluble fiber.

Each type of fiber offers a specific health benefit. Soluble fiber dissolves in water to form a kind of gel matrix, which puts the brakes on the entire digestive process. The presence of soluble fiber slows the absorption of sugars, which stabilizes blood glucose levels. It binds cholesterol so that instead of being absorbed by the body, cholesterol is excreted. And because the stomach takes longer to empty when soluble fiber is present, you wind up feeling fuller for longer.

Insoluble fiber, meanwhile, has an equally important job. Not only do the tex-

South Dakota Dear Lifestyle Choices: Do not attempt to de-

ANSWER TO PREVIOUS PUZZLE R E F R A M E

DEAR ABBY have an issue with my father Jeanne and don’t know Phillips where to turn.

Dad is in his early 80s and – aside from poor eyesight – he’s in good health. I’m concerned because he has developed an unusual habit. He likes to look through the dumpsters behind the grocery store.

Initially he told me it was to get old produce for compost in his garden. But I have learned that he eats some of the things he finds. I have tried telling him this is dangerous. He could cut himself digging through the trash or get food poisoning. He refuses to listen and insists that what he is doing is safe. (He is NOT forced to do this out of economic necessity. He has enough money to buy groceries.)

The situation has become critical because he is now planning to cook something he found in the dumpster for a family gathering. I told him not to do it. If he does prepare food from the trash, I told him he must let people know where it came from, so they can make an informed decision about whether to eat it. Abby, please help. – Grossed Out Dear Grossed Out: If you can’t convince your father to disclose to relatives that the food he’s serving may have come from a dumpster, YOU should alert them to that possibility.

Dear Abby: My 9-year-old daughter has several friends whom we love and who are good buddies for her. However, the rules in their homes are different from those at ours. One friend in particular, “Sarah,” eats a lot of junk food and watches more TV than we allow. When my daughter asks why she can’t have chips and ice cream after school, or why we watch movies only on weekends, I remind her that good food and exercise make her healthy, and with less TV she does better in school.

I’m not interested in critiquing Sarah or her family, who are lovely people we really like.

However, I do want to make the connection between unhealthy lifestyle choices and possible consequences because this is a subject we’ll keep revisiting as my daughter grows up.

I have been trying to say things like, “Everyone makes their own decisions. This is why we do it this way,” but at 9, my daughter sees things as pretty black or white. If our way is right, then their way must be wrong. I’m totally failing at subtlety. Is there a better approach that I could take to talking about this without invoking comparisons? – Lifestyle Choices in

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – You’ll have plenty of good ideas. If you lay out your plans, you’ll find a way to turn a pursuit into a moneymaking venture. An unusual partnership will develop if you collaborate with someone who shows enthusiasm and a willingness to inject money and energy into the project.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Don’t get angry or frustrated over trivial matters. Keep your finances in order and refuse to divulge information about your personal life, assets or liabilities.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Hard work will pay off if you follow through with your plans. Use

your ingenuity and ability to put a unique spin on whatever you do. Trust your judgment.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Association with groups or people very different from you will give you a broader view of the possibilities that exist. Open-mindedness will ensure that you get the most out of an experience.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Keep a watchful eye on what others are doing. Protecting your position, reputation and assets will be necessary.

Don’t let anger take control when facts and calculated action are required.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Don’t be afraid to do things differently. If you separate yourself from the crowd, you will discover a niche you feel passionate about pursuing. Don’t overreact when you should be overachieving.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Be creative and work alone to bring about the changes you want to see happen. Use experience as your guide to making the right decisions.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Put more effort into an important relationship. Making plans that will bring you and a loved one closer together or keep you on an even playing field will result in a stronger bond.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Look for alternative ways to raise your income. Add more qualifications or skills to your toolkit or start a sideline service that will bring in extra cash. Romance looks promising.

Very Clean & Nice Furniture

Nolan Bushnell, the founder of Atari, said, “Business is a good game -- lots of competition and a minimum of rules. You keep score with money.”

Bridge is a great game -- lots of competition and, some would argue, too many laws. Sometimes you keep score with money.

Players often quote axioms (“rules”), although most of them are wrong at least as often as they are right. But a few, like the Rule of Eleven and the key play in today’s deal, are always right if the appropriate conditions are met (the lead being fourth-highest in the case of the Rule of Eleven).

What is the right play for East here? He is defending against four hearts, and West has led the diamond king.

Note North’s four-diamond jump cue-bid. It is a splinter bid showing four-card heart support, game-going values and a singleton or void in diamonds. South, with such a weak hand, has no thought of a slam.

It should be apparent to East that his side probably has to take one diamond and three spade tricks to defeat the contract. Also, it must be better for East to attack spades through declarer, rather than West’s leading around to him. So, East overtakes the diamond king with his ace.

But which spade should he lead next?

The normal card from J-7-6 is the six, but when you need three tricks in the suit, the correct card to lead is the jack. Now the contract goes down one.

Note that if East starts with the spade six, South plays low from his hand and is safe.
