COVER STORY

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Monica Davy thought her reign as Morris Community High School’s homecoming queen would end with homecoming week last fall – but then she was invited to attend the AutoZone Liberty Bowl in Tennessee with the organization America’s Homecoming Queen.

America’s Homecoming Queen was started in 1981 as a nonprofit organization in Tennessee. Homecoming queens who are invited can submit an application and compete to win educational scholarships.

“I got the application three weeks after I was elected homecoming queen,” Davy said. “I turned it in, but I didn’t think I’d qualify.”

Davy did indeed qualify and was one of three girls representing Illinois at this year’s Liberty Bowl game.

MCHS teacher Barb Rath, who is the student council sponsor, said it didn’t surprise her that Davy was chosen to represent Illinois and MCHS. “To be chosen as homecoming queen you have to be liked by everyone,” Rath said. “She doesn’t know how beautiful she is, inside and out. She’s loving and caring and always willing to help. She’s a standout student in that way.”

Davy said the application asked her about community service, what she wants to be when she grows up and what activities she is involved in.

She has no shortage of accomplishments to answer those questions.

Davy has gone on two mission trips with Immaculate Conception Youth Group to Kentucky, where she has repaired houses, she is on the high school tennis team, M Club, Student Council Sargent of Arms, FCCLA, Ski Club, Spanish Club, and Discipline Committee.

One of the things Davy is most proud of is her partnership with Special Connections of Grundy County, where she coaches members in tennis so

“She doesn’t know how beautiful she is, inside and out. She’s loving and caring and always willing to help. She’s a standout student in that way.”

Barb Rath Morris Community High School teacher they can compete in Special Olympics.

Principal Kelly Hussey said it’s an honor to be represented

by Davy at a national event.

“It’s priceless for us to be represented by a lady like Monica at a national event,” Hussey said. “She has so much going for her, she gives her heart to all and is a great ambassador.”

On her trip to Memphis for the Liberty Bowl, she did what most tourists do and toured Beale Street. However, her tour was in a parade.

“It was my first time ever in a parade, and my first time seeing Beale Street,” Davy said.

“Everyone was cheering for you even though they didn’t know who you are.”

Davy said she was excited her entire family got to go, and even her grandparents came for the parade.

The trip was fun and a once-

in-a-lifetime experience, she said, but not something she is comfortable with. She doesn’t picture herself with the crown, makeup and sash that is the homecoming queen uniform.

Davy, along with homecoming queens from around the nation, were escorted onto the field by members of the military for the pregame show.

They wore white gowns, representing the white in red, white and blue.

During halftime, the queens were on the field with country stars Big & Rich performing a choreographed dance to “Comin’ To Your City.”

Davy said the parade and game events were fun. But they weren’t the highlight of the trip. That came with a visit to St. Jude’s Hospital.

“The Liberty Bowl is the only bowl game that supports a charity,” Davy said. “We went to St. Jude and met with a cancer survivor, had a luncheon and then made art kits for patients who couldn’t leave their room for art therapy. That was the highlight of my trip.”

She came away from the trip realizing it was a cool experience, and that even though she wasn’t comfortable with everything, she went and did it, and that was worth it, she said.

She said she hopes future Morris Community High School homecoming queens get the opportunity to go.

County Board supports recycling bill

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The Grundy County Board voted, 12-2, to pass a resolution supporting House Bill 4042 – the Electronic Device Recycling and Reuse Act. The resolution was separated from the consent agenda, so the board members could discuss the bill further during their regular meeting Tuesday.

House Bill 4042, seeks to raise the total amount of electronics manufacturers must recycle in Illinois from 50 percent of the weight of electronic devices sold annually in Illinois to 100 percent.

New Life Electronics, the recycler for Grundy County, charges the county 7 cents a pound to recycle a television.

County Land Use Director Heidi Miller said previously that TV manufacturers currently pay electronic recyclers half of what it costs to recycle televisions. TVs are the hardest to recycle because of the cathode ray tube glass.

Board member John Roth said he was not familiar with the bill.

The bill will provide the county with more money to help pay the cost of recycling, said board member Dick Joyce.

“The money runs out halfway through the year and we [the county] are charged,” Joyce said.

He said by supporting the bill, they are asking legislators for help, otherwise the county will have to start charging.

He said by charging residents he is afraid the televisions will be dumped all over the county.

Board member Kerri Courtright said she is against the resolution because she feels the county budget has not run out to pay for recycling, and the cost will be passed on to residents one way or another, whether it’s in the cost of televisions or limiting the sale to only those manufacturers who agree to the fees.

“The question is whether or

not we are in support of the bill, and I say we don’t support it,” Courtright said.

Board member Debra Warning pointed out that the bill came out of committee with a positive recommendation with only Courtright voting against it.

The vote carried with Roth and Courtright voting no.

Board member Vicki Geiger abstained.

The board also sent a resolution creating a new position in the Grundy County State’s Attorney Office back to the Personnel Committee, despite the recommendation of the Law and Justice committee.

State’s Attorney Jason Helland is asking for the addition of

“The question is whether or not we are in support of the bill, and I say we don’t support it.”

Kerri Courtright Grundy County Board member

another assistant state’s attorney. He said at last week’s Law and Justice Committee meeting that the state’s attorney’s office has the money to pay the first year and a half of salary and benefits from the state’s attorney’s fee fund and the drug asset forfeiture fund for fiscal 2015, so he is not asking the county to

budget for the new position.

The additional attorney would be assigned to handle drug court, half of the misdemeanor cases including all drug cases, juvenile abuse and neglect, juvenile delinquency and felony drug cases, Helland said.

The hiring of a new assistant will allow Helland to change assistant attorney Chris Dearth’s duties to half of the misdemeanor cases and the civil division.

Helland said the move is essential for the office to continue to assist with serving the board and county officials, and it would allow Dearth to be crosstrained by Assistant Attorney Perry Rudman, so he could take over when Rudman retires.

Board chairman David Wel-

ter said the finance committee wants to look at the numbers in the office to justify the position, and it would be discussed Thursday night at the next personnel meeting.

Helland said Tuesday he was told the board wants to take it to personnel to see about the longterm funding of the position.

“My thoughts are the position will save money on professional services,” Helland said.

“There are a lot of land use cases coming up.”

He said by sending cases out to other attorneys to be handled, the county has paid in the past up to $300 an hour, but a new hire will eliminate that need and allow the cases to be handled in house.

Committee votes to move designated smoking area

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The designated area for visitors to smoke at the Grundy County Administration building has been moved farther away from the front entrance.

Grundy County Health Department Administrator Phil Jass asked the Grundy County Facilities/ Law & Justice Committee last week to consider moving the visitor smoking area from in front of the building to the flagpole. The committee voted 3-2 in favor of moving the smoking area.

Committee members John Roth and Vicki Geiger both voted against the measure.

Geiger wanted to completely ban smoking on the Grundy County Administrative cam-

Geiger said she believed, with the health department inside the administration building, that the county should ban smoking at the building to promote healthy living.

Grundy County Chairman

David Welter said he was not comfortable with banning smoking on the entire campus.

“It’s still the taxpayers’ building. I don’t want to see it banned completely,” Welter said.

He said the move will be effective immediately, as soon as the new location is communicated to staff.

Visitors who wish to smoke will no longer be able to smoke directly in front of the building, where people enter the facility.

Smoking in front of the building will be moved to a designated area near the flagpole, which sits in the parking lot.

The employee smoking area in the back of the building will remain unchanged.

Cupcakes prove to be more than passe

By SUSAN SELASKY Detroit Free Press While you might have heard some folks say cupcakes are passe, we in the Free Press Test Kitchen disagree. Since the cupcake craze started more than 10 years ago, the little cakes have come a long way from the standard-variety school birthday treat we remember from childhood.

Here are five reasons why we will always love cupcakes.

1. What’s on top: We love the creativity fostered by

frosting – from gussied-up buttercreams in wild colors and flavors, to light and airy meringues and decadent chocolate ganache. And then there’s the endless array of decorations available. Of course there are the simple sprinkles, chocolate curls and candy. But so many went

further with toppings like candied bacon, pretzels, potato chips, mini-action figures and dolls.

2. What’s inside: Cupcakes jumped from using a plain boxed cake mix to doctored-up mixes with the addition of puddings, spices or nuts or having a theme.

There are red velvet, rocky road brownie, peanut butter-infused and even cheesecake cupcakes. Injecting a baked cupcake with jams, cream fillings and frosting is the norm.

Those fluted paper or foil liners have come a long way.

Tons of colors, designs, sizes are sold at grocery stores, craft stores and big box retailers. There are even holders for the cupcakes already in liners. Cupcakes have become the centerpiece of many dessert tables, whether they are displayed on tiers, turned into tasty towers or frosted together to form cakes for any special occasion.

4. Kid-friendly: Cupcakes have always been – and continue to be – a favorite among 3. The pretty presentation: the younger set. They are the

perfect size for smaller hands (unless you splurge for the gargantuan size) and decorating them can be fun for all ages (just watch for the little finger-lickers).

5. Travel well: These tasty treats can travel in style (not the foil-lined shirt boxes you might remember from decades past). Now, there are a variety of handy cupcake carriers, in many shapes and sizes, for easy transport so there’s less mess and fewer frosting mishaps from cupcakes slipping and sliding along the way.

HOROSCOPE TODAY – Don’t give up, especially as you are so close to reaching your goal.

You can surpass all your expectations if you are willing to keep the momentum flowing and your sights set high. Being humble and gracious will ensure future benefits.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Let your accomplishments pave the way for new beginnings. Your actions will impress onlookers and help position you for bigger and better opportunities.

Listen, learn and forge ahead.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Don’t become overwhelmed by unfinished

chores. If you organize and strategize, you will slowly but surely accomplish whatever you set out to do.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Be more assertive if you want to dictate the way situations unfold. You have all the qualities necessary to ably present and promote what you have to offer.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Focus on love, romance and relationships.

Business events or seminars will be the perfect place to meet someone who shares your interests and concerns. Let things unfold naturally.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Make an

effort to get along with your peers.

Sharing information will help you form an alliance with someone who can help you advance, as long as you don’t reveal personal secrets.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Emotions will run high, causing problems with overly sensitive people. A hobby or solitary pastime will keep you out of trouble. Stay calm and avoid senseless disputes that could lead to irreconcilable differences.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Pay greater attention to the ones you love. By making someone feel special, you will gain respect and personal stability. Your

thoughtful and caring disposition will be appreciated and reciprocated.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Don’t let a lack of confidence stop you from considering a new vocation or promising opportunity.

Be proud of your accomplishments, but acknowledge what others do as well if you want to advance.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – A friend will ask for your advice. Compromise and common sense will come in handy when interacting with business associates.

You will be inspired to start a new project.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Remain alert

in order to protect your possessions and property. Change up your routine so that your schedule or habits don’t become too boring or predictable.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Differences of opinion can quickly escalate into an argument. Stick to basics as well as to the truth, and resist the urge to blame or find fault in others.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Don’t let someone act on your behalf. Once you have decided what needs to be done, get on with the job. Constructive use of your time will leave room for recreation later.

OPINION

11

Rauner’s speech blunt but necessary As inauguration speeches go, Bruce Rauner’s was a bit of a downer.

After being sworn in as Illinois’ 42nd governor, Rauner bluntly detailed the state’s many problems.

State government has suffered from decades of corruption and cronyism.

It taxes too much.

It spends too much.

Its policies are driving business – and jobs – to other states.

Sacrifices will be needed by all Illinoisans to right the state’s dire fiscal situation.

That might not be a message people want to hear from their new leader. But Rauner needed to say it, and Illinoisans need to hear it.

The state’s five public pension systems are underfunded by $110 billion and growing. It’s currently facing a $2 billion budget deficit in fiscal 2015. Of course, sacrifices will be necessary.

Rauner, however, was mostly short on what specific sacrifices he will propose.

In his first action as governor, Rauner said he asked every state agency to freeze nonessential spending. What that will mean in terms of state services, we don’t know yet. But we should expect to see significant cutbacks. Given the state’s fiscal situation, there need to be.

Rauner didn’t say Monday whether he would seek any form of tax increases – whether it be a temporary increase in the state’s income tax, which was scaled back Jan. 1; or whether he’d seek new taxes on certain services, or any other hikes.

He struck the right tone with this comment – “Taxpayers’ money belongs to them; not the government. We have a moral obligation to minimize how much we take and to ensure what we do take is spent efficiently and effectively” – but we expect some sort of tax increase proposal from him.

Decades of fiscal mismanagement, unfortunately, can’t be fixed with the snap of the thumb or the election of a new governor.

It’s going to take a lot of work, and some short-term pain. But it’s necessary.

“Business as usual is over,” Rauner said. “It stops now.”

We’ve heard that before. We just hope that this governor is the one to deliver.

THE FIRST AMENDMENT

Consumers, not government, are the best regulators SPRINGFIELD – Why do we license barbers?

Or roofers?

Or interior decorators?

I’ve never quite understood Illinois’ need to create barriers for people to enter certain vocations.

Back in the 1950s, my dad taught himself to cut hair on an Army troop ship between Tokyo and San Francisco.

Later, while he attended college on the GI Bill, he kept my older brother and sister fed cutting his classmates hair on Friday nights in my family’s tiny apartment.

It was part of his ticket into the middle class.

Today, that wouldn’t be possible.

Illinois now requires barbers to have 350 days of training and to pay a $142 fee.

So much for teaching yourself to cut hair and setting up shop in your own living room.

But these types of restrictions have become all too common. The Institute for Justice reports that one-third of the jobs in the United States now require state licenses.

If most license restrictions were eliminated, the Institute estimates, the employment rate in the United States would go up as much as 1 percent, said Lee McGrath, a lawyer for the group.

REEDER REPORT Scott Reeder There are some who would have you believe that government bureaucrats are perched like buzzards waiting for some unsuspecting entrepreneur to come along before they swoop in.

The reality is filled with much more intrigue.

Regulation often is the product of a chummy relationship between elected officials and those in business who want to cut down on their competition to maximize profits.

So every year, a parade of folks in various vocations comes to the state Capitol asking for their fields to be licensed and regulated.

It usually works like this: Have the state require extensive training for those wanting to enter the field.

Exempt everyone already in the field from the new regulations by “grandfathering” them in.

By doing this, folks in the profession can create an artificial shortage of “licensed” individuals. This reduces the supply of people who can do the job and enables those

still in the field to be paid more.

That should concern us all.

An Institute for Justice study found that it costs consumers 15 percent more to receive a service from a licensed vocation than in a state where same job isn’t licensed.

So we pay more for something that provides us with little to no benefit.

But don’t professional licenses help ensure that the public is safer?

Insurance companies don’t think so, McGrath said. Liability insurance rates are the same in states that require certain professions to be licensed and in the states that don’t, he said.

And let’s face it – consumers are the best regulators, not government.

If a roofer, barber, auctioneer, hair braider or other licensed profession does lousy work, they will soon go out of business. And if they do good work, they may prosper.

Ultimately, the endorsement of consumers carries far more weight than that of government.

BOYS BASKETBALL: MORRIS 74, PONTIAC 69

13

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com

• Wednesday, January 14, 2015

PONTIAC – Midway through the first quarter Tuesday night, the Morris boys basketball team trailed Pontiac 12-5 and looked out of sync on the offensive end.

Suddenly, things started clicking for the Redskins, and shots started falling. At the same time, the defense stiffened. By the time the dust settled, Morris went on a 16-0 run that stretched into the second quarter and built a 21-12 lead en route to an exciting 74-69 nonconference win.

Jake Walker hit three 3-pointers in the stretch, while Evan Bjelland also had one.

Griffin Sobol and Austin Patterson hit back-to-back shots.

Patterson’s baseline jumper gave Morris a 13-12 lead with 1:45 left in the first quarter, their first lead since Patterson opened the game with a 3-pointer. Pontiac never got closer than four points the rest of the first half as the Redskins owned a 36-30 lead at halftime.

The Indians pulled within to 25-21, but Morris answered with an 8-2 run to take a 3323 lead. Pontiac used a quick 6-0 spurt to cut it back to four points, but Bjelland drained a 3-pointer to quell the uprising.

Bjelland opened the third with eight quick points as the Redskins grabbed a 46-36 lead at the period’s midpoint. He finished the quarter with 16 points, giving him 26 for the game, as the Redskins led, 5745, after three quarters. Bjelland led all scorers with 33 points, while Patterson scored 15 and Walker scored 12.

After Pontiac’s Drew Mills closed the gap to 49-41, Bjelland hit a 3-pointer, then got a steal and was fouled en route to the basket. He made both free throws, then hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer to give Morris a 12-point lead.

Bjelland missed his first attempt from the field in the fourth quarter, his first miss since early in the second.

His next shot, a three-pointer, found its mark to give the Redskins a 63-51 lead witih 5:38 to play. In the next 20 seconds,

GIRLS BASKETBALL: MINOOKA 59, PROVIDENCE 55 (OT)

Arlis’ late heroics lift Indians past Celtics

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – Although his girls basketball team trailed Providence Catholic by nine points late in the third quarter of Monday’s nonconference game, Minooka coach Ray Liberatore felt his squad could stage a late comeback and claim a big win.

One of the reasons for his optimism was the play of junior forward Sydney Arlis.

She hit a big 3-pointer to tie things midway through the final quarter and then two free throws with under a minute left in regulation. Then she scored all 10 of her team’s points in overtime as the Indians rallied to claim a 59-55 overtime victory.

Arlis finished with a gamehigh 25 points as well as grab-

bing seven rebounds. She scored 20 of those points in the final half and in the overtime session in the nonconference game.

“Our girls feed off of Syd Arlis, and you could see at the end of the game how she took over,” Liberatore said. “She just stays calm and doesn’t get excited, so she was making plays and hitting her free throws. I thought down the stretch that she was the difference.

“I have all of the respect in the world for Providence’s program, and they play a tougher schedule than we do. So to come back and get a nice win like we did tonight is a big statement for what our girls are capable of doing. We try to play teams like Providence, since that’s the caliber of team that you’re going to have to

Minooka (12-5) trailed, 3930, late in the third and was down, 43-37, heading into the

last quarter. Brooklyn Bachmann scored 10 of her 12 points in the final half while Kelly Carnagio (10 rebounds) added six of her 15 points after the break.

Providence (13-8) forced the overtime when Madeline Culligan (10 points, nine rebounds) hit to free throws with 18 seconds left tied at 49.

But during the next four minutes, Arlis hit two baskets, including a 3-pointer, and tossed in five free throws.

Her three with 1:03 left made it, 54-51, and then she hit two charity tosses with 30 seconds left to give her squad a 56-51 advantage.

“I’m so proud of the way that we fought through everything that was happening,” Arlis said. “We had a stretch at the end of the first half where we were making turnovers

and weren’t playing the way that we were supposed to. But we battled hard and had faith and trust in each other and we never gave up. Our word this is ‘resilient.’

“All of our team played great, and we were patient enough to give everyone a chance to put points on the board. I was happy that we battled back and got such great stops on defense to give us the opportunity that we weren’t trailing at the end. This is a huge confidence boost for us and it should carry us into games with Plainfield Central and Oswego.”

The Celtics used a 7-0 start to help them to a 15-8 lead after one quarter. After Minooka used a 13-1 run to go up, 2118, Providence closed the half with a 9-2 spurt to take a 27-23 advantage at the break.

BLACKHAWKS

mier 200-foot players.

“It’s a great spot to be in,” Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said. “Those two guys, you get to see what it takes to be a pro, you get to see the preparation that goes into it, the importance of every shift. … I think it’s a great opportunity for him, and I think he’s been real good as we’ve gone along here.”

Saad is playing his best hockey since his revelatory work in the Western Conference final, when he had four goals and five assists with a plus-7 rating in seven games. He has five goals in his past eight games, and has been stellar away from the puck, as well. He’s fourth on the team with 28 points (12 goals, 16 assists) on the season.

He had a pair of goals Friday in Edmonton, twice crashing the net and putting in rebounds

from his linemates on 2-on-1s.

That’s the blueprint for the 22-year-old Saad, whom Quenneville has repeatedly said can be a premier power forward in the NHL. Saad has made no secret of his admiration for Hossa’s game, but it’s not really a mentor/mentee kind of relationship. Hossa doesn’t sit down with Saad before and after games and delve deep into the details of the game, breaking down the finer points of defensive positioning and offensive awareness. It’s more of a watchand-learn kind of thing. When Hossa was a young player, he learned by watching Ottawa teammate Daniel Alfredsson from up close, and Colorado stars Peter Forsberg and Joe Sakic from afar.

Saad has two guys right next to him from which to learn by

osmosis.

“It’s obviously a great spot to be in,” Saad said. “I’m playing with two great players every night, and I can learn a lot from them.”

Saad will be a restricted free agent in July, and contract negotiations won’t begin until the season’s over. He’s due a massive raise from his entry-level deal worth $894,167 a year. And even with the salary cap crunch looming, there’s no doubt general manager Stan Bowman will lock in Saad for years to come.

If it were just about points, Saad would be worth plenty.

But it’s all the hard-to-quantify little things that make him so valuable.

“He’s getting better and better, at such a young age,” Hossa said. “He’s going to be a dominant player in the league.”

BULLS

After recent struggles, Bulls work to improve defensively

By JOE COWLEY jcowley@suntimes.com CHICAGO– The seven-plus minutes of rapid-fire questions from the media were going at Joakim Noah hard Tuesday.

In return, the Bulls big man was doing a lot of smirking, a lot of head shaking, and a lot of responses of “What do you want me to say?’’

Basically, the best defense a Bulls player has shown in about a week.

And that was the topic of interest after the afternoon practice at the Advocate Center, 14 hours after the Bulls allowed the Orlando Magic to score a season-high 121 points in their third loss in their last four games.

Defense, defense, and more defense.

“We’ve got to get better,’’ Noah said. “We’re not there yet, but it’s fine. We’ve got time.

We’ve just got to keep working, get better as a team, figure out what works and what doesn’t.’’

Lately, little has worked.

The on-the-ball defense has been shaky, the pick-and-roll

defense loose, and the intensity non-existent.

That’s why Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau was irate after the Monday night loss at the United Center, calling out his team and bring back “the circle’’ analogy at his players.

“Either you’re in the circle or you’re out of the circle,’’ Thibodeau said. “You want to be in? Let’s go. You don’t want to be in? That’s fine too. Let’s go.’’

Thibodeau was a bit calmer on Tuesday, but definitely had a lot of film to show his players, and now wants to see how they react tonight against Washington.

“There’s two things you always look at first,’’ Thibodeau said. “The intensity and then the execution, was it done properly? There were a lot of things that we could’ve done better. So that’s what we’ve gotta get back to that, make the corrections, obviously can’t work on everything. So you try prioritize the things that you feel need the most work. We’ve shown that there’s time that we’ve played great defense and great offense.

Right now, for whatever rea-

son, we’re low energy and we gotta get that corrected.’’

Thibodeau rarely singles his players out, but he didn’t have to after the loss to the Magic.

Orlando pushed the ball quickly all evening, and a lot of that pushing came at Derrick Rose.

Not only has Rose’s ball pressure dwindled since his lights-out defensive summer showing with Team USA, but his pick-and-roll defense has looked below standard.

“When we say the ball pressure is important it’s not only with our point guards, it’s with everybody,’’ Thibodeau said.

“Often times a lot of teams run offense through the elbows too, and our bigs are in that position, and so our bigs have to pressure the ball. We have to have great ball pressure. Our whole defense is based on our ball pressure.

“I know it can look [like Rose is being picked on] because the league really is a heavy pickand-roll league. So it’s usually multi-pick-and-rolls now. … It’s a work in progress, we’ve got to continue to work on it, as all teams do.’’

Thibodeau said he has no plans to change personnel or switch the rotation around, and felt like a turnaround on defense was very fixable.

“Because they’ve also

shown times where they’ve played great defense. So it’s in them,’’ Thibodeau said. “We know it’s in them. We just have to have to continue to work at it.’’

Marian Hossa didn’t really have a word for it. So standing in front of his locker stall, Hossa grabbed an imaginary hockey stick and animatedly began illustrating one of the things Brandon Saad does so well.

Using a reporter as a dumbstruck defenseman, Hossa pantomimed how Saad can execute something of a full-speed crossover dribble on ice – faking to one side of the defender, freezing him, then throwing the puck to the other side and basically jumping over the guy to regain the puck and power past him.

“Not many players you see [who] can do it in the league,” Hossa said. “And he’s one of those who are able to do it.”

There really isn’t a word for

a lot of the things Saad does so well. That’s what makes him a rising star in this league. And it’s why he’s so often compared with Hossa – the consummate two-way, all-around player who can make all the splashy moves, yet who also does all the little things away from the puck that make all the difference.

Lifting sticks and stealing pucks. Working in the corner and coming out with the puck.

Skating with strength and balance, impossible to move off the puck. Being in the right place at the right time at both ends of the rink. These Hossa hallmarks are quickly becoming Saad staples. Patrick Kane even called Saad a “mini-Hossa” earlier in the season.

It certainly doesn’t hurt that Saad spends most of his shifts alongside Hossa and Jonathan Toews, two of the league’s pre-

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Keep the road clear of a blockage

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Roberto Azevedo, a Brazilian diplomat and the current director-general of the World Trade Organization, said, “Each blockage is a blockage. Each impasse is an impasse. You have to find a solution; there is no recipe that fits each one of them.”

Blockages can be dangerous in bridge. If it is, say, declarer’s singleton ace opposite dummy’s king-queenjack, usually declarer should cash his ace as quickly as possible, then work out how to reach the dummy to cash those winners.

Other blockages are less easy to anticipate. In this deal, how should South play in three no-trump after West leads the spade king?

Declarer seems to have nine tricks: one spade, one heart, two diamonds and five clubs. In clubs, the textbooks say that a 3-2 split happens 67.8 percent of the time. What can possibly go wrong?

The original declarer took the third trick with his spade ace, cashed his club ace and led his club three to dummy’s king. When East discarded a diamond, South crossed to his hand with a diamond and led the club nine, but when West did not cover with his jack, the suit was irreparably blocked.

It is true that East might have played the club 10 from, say, J-10-x.

But it could not have cost South to lead his club nine on the second round to dummy’s king. Then, when East discarded, South could have returned to his hand, led the club three to dummy’s eight and made the contract.

When declarer is playing a spot card from his hand, it is often better to play the second-lowest rather than the lowest. Occasionally, that will even unblock a suit.

Newer hearing aids are very small, often invisible Dear Doctor K: After years of living with hearing loss, I am soon going to get my first hearing aid. Anything I should know ahead of time to be prepared?

Dear Reader: The first thing many new users of hearing aids notice is that sounds seem strange. Think of how different your own voice sounds when you listen to a tape recording of yourself.

You may also be more aware than ever before of your footsteps, your car’s motor, the sounds you make as you chew your food, and just about any other environmental noise.

Many hearing aids can be adjusted to lower the volume of unwanted noise. But more important, with time, your brain

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff will get better at tuning it out.

You may also find that the hearing aid doesn’t do one of the things you’d most hoped that it would: understand every word in a conversation.

Remember that hearing every word isn’t necessary. The goal is to follow conversations easily in different environments.

Continue to rely on the visual cues that you’ve been using to understand words, like lip movements, facial expressions and hand gestures.

Getting used to a hearing aid takes time, usually at least a

month to six weeks. But it may take as long as several months.

If you don’t notice a marked improvement by the end of the first month, however, your hearing aid may not be right for you.

While you’re adjusting to your hearing aid, remember these tips: • Start off with one-on-one conversations, which are the easiest ones to understand.

Gradually work up to conversations with two or more people.

• Realize that understanding conversations in noisy places, such as restaurants and parties, will be difficult at first.

With time and practice, your ability to hear in these settings will improve. Watch the person who is speaking so you can

pick up gestures and other visual cues. Position yourself close to the person who is speaking.

• Install a telephone amplifier at home to help you hear telephone conversations.

• If using the phone is a problem, consider email or text messaging instead.

• Finally, wear your hearing aid. The more you use it, the faster you are likely to adjust to it, and the better your hearing will be.

I’m often surprised by how some of my patients resist my suggestion that they get a hearing aid. They remember what hearing aids used to look like: large, unattractive objects stuck inside the ear, visible to everyone. They’re concerned

that a hearing aid will make them look old.

They also have heard that hearing aids don’t improve the most common problem they have: hearing conversations in noisy places. They’ve heard that hearing aids may make the voice of someone speaking to them louder, but that they also make the noise louder. So it’s not easier to hear conversations.

Today’s hearing aids are tiny and often invisible. They also are a lot better at amplifying a voice nearby without similarly increasing the noise.
