Grady terminated from NIU police By JILLIAN DUCHNOWSKI jduchnowski@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Northern Illinois University Police Chief Donald Grady was fired Tuesday for his part in NIU police withholding evidence in a rape case against one of its officers. Grady was placed on paid administrative leave Nov. 10. That was one day after DeKalb County Presiding Judge Robbin Stuckert ruled that Grady’s department purposefully
withheld witness statements favorable to Andrew Rifkin, an NIU police officer accused of raping a student offcampus and off-duty. Charges against Donald Rifkin have since been Grady dropped. Grady had been chief since 2001, and earned $205,987 a year. Bill Nicklas, the acting director of public safety at NIU, sent Grady a let-
ter regarding his firing. In it, Nicklas said he did not believe Grady’s assertions that he wasn’t involved with hiding those documents. “While I do not find your denials to be credible, even if true, at a minimum, your failure to supervise departmental personnel in this important case represents sufficient cause for dismissal,” Nicklas wrote. Grady’s attorney, Michael Fox, told the Chicago Tribune that he will “fight this in every manner to show

have recognized that allowing NIU police to investigate one of its own officers exposed the department to allegations of a conflict of interest, the letter states. When Grady learned Lt. Kartik Ramakrishnan had placed the two witness statements in Rifkin’s personnel file, he took no action aside from reprimanding him. Ramakrishnan remains on paid leave, and Darren Mitchell remains acting police chief.
County Board member steps down By JEFF ENGELHARDT jengelhardt@shawmedia.com
he’s not stopping now. “I’m looking to lose a few more pounds and build muscle,” he said. Sycamore CrossFit owners Carl Balentyne and Mark Mitrovic encourage their members to get fit in ways that will benefit them in the long run. “We don’t want to look at it as weight loss and dieting,” said Balentyne. “It’s more of a nutritional life change.” Both Balentyne and Mitrovic said CrossFit is not necessarily about creating huge success stories, but making small strides toward better fitness. “As long as people are improving, we know we’re doing something right,” Mitrovic said.
SYCAMORE – DeKalb County Board member Ken Andersen quit the board Tuesday, citing a loss of drive and energy to fight for the changes he believes are necessary. Andersen, a Sycamore Republican who had represented District 3 since 2006, won a contested race in November. He also had support for the board chairmanship before an unexpected nomination from Democrats for Republican Jeff Metzger of Sandwich derailed Andersen’s bid. Although Andersen was upset with the chairmanship selection process, he said it was a combination of frustrating factors that led to his decision. A fiscal conserva- Ken tive, Andersen un- Andersen successfully urged the County Board to spend less money during each budget process, but total spending always went up. “I didn’t intend to let down the voters, but I kind of lost my drive and energy,” Andersen said. “I don’t think I was being effective any more in getting my ideas across to the board. I couldn’t convince them we needed a smaller budget.” Andersen was involved in major projects such as the DeKalb County Courthouse expansion and the ongoing Evergreen Village Mobile Home Park mitigation, both of which affect his district. Ruth Anne Tobias, D-DeKalb, was chairwoman when Andersen was first elected and worked with him on the courthouse expansion committee. She said Andersen always was dedicated and wanted what he thought was best for the county, even when they did not agree. Tobias credits Andersen as the first board member to hold district meetings to get feedback from constituents.

shickman@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – When Bryan Westerby and his classmates at Sycamore CrossFit strive to complete their grueling workout of the day, they all have one goal in mind: Win the Look Better Naked Challenge. Westerby and several other CrossFit members signed on for the Look Better Naked Challenge at Sycamore CrossFit, 1330 E. State St. in Sycamore at the beginning of January to create a healthier lifestyle. The eight-week program is halfway through, and many participants, including Westerby, already have seen results. “I’ve lost seven pounds,” he said. “And I’m happy with that.” Westerby is one of many locals working to become more physically fit and improve their overall health this winter. Multiple programs such as Sycamore CrossFit’s Look Better Naked Challenge and the Kishwaukee Family YMCA’s Live Healthy Team Challenge have gotten many people on their feet and ready to move.

Katrina Luetkebuenger, the associate executive director at the Kishwaukee YMCA, said this program was originally inspired by “The Biggest Loser” reality TV competition. She said the program has recruited at least 47 participants who will be working together in teams to reach their fitness goals. Luetke-
buenger said the team-based concept is what helps the participants obtain success. “The support that they get from one another, the accountability and the education [is important],” she said. In addition to the seven pounds he has lost since CrossFit’s Look Better Naked Challenge began, Westerby has lost about 50 pounds since joining Sycamore CrossFit in May. Westerby said he’s on his way to reaching his target weight, and

Heather Darsie shops at Michael’s a lot. The 2011 Northern Illinois University law school graduate shops there enough to notice the graveyard south of the store at 2341 Sycamore Road. That would be the DeKalb County Cemetery, which has been the final resting place for about 200 of DeKalb County’s indigent residents dating back to 1871. Some are veterans. Some are unnamed. Some were once residents of the county nursing home, which used to be where Michael’s was built. “Either way, they wound up in there one way or another,” Darsie said. “I wanted them to be remembered during the holidays, too.” Darsie thought of her maternal grandmother, who is buried in a pauper’s grave in New York state. She suggested to DeKalb Rotary Club members that they do something special there around Christmas. On Dec. 22, Rotary Club members, their family and a representative from Olson Funeral Home and Cremation Services in Sycamore, placed roses on the graves and said a couple of prayers. Participants included DeKalb Ro-
VIEWS Jillian Duchnowski tary Club president Tim Hughes, his daughters, Gene Deisz, Sharon Tourville, Mike Coghlan and John Horn, to name a few. Darsie took a friend there on Christmas Eve, and noticed one of the roses had been moved to a fresh burial site. “It was just really touching to know it means a lot to people,” she said. She hopes the club will repeat Flowers for the Forgotten each year. Meanwhile, Coroner Dennis Miller and County Administrator Gary Hanson are wrapping up improvements to the cemetery that began a decade or so ago. Upgrades include signage at the entrance, a flagpole and new headstones. Miller, whose office oversees the cemetery and approves burials there, has a list of the names, birthdates and death dates of those buried there in his office. He just ordered the last headstones needed to complete the improvements.
“The county needs to be commended for what they’re doing,” Miller said. “A lot of counties don’t have cemeteries.” • • • Mystery ships: I’ve frequented Lowe’s Home Improvement, 2050 Sycamore Road, and Walmart, 2300 Sycamore Road, for weeks without noticing the model battleships frozen in the retention ponds.

SPRINGFIELD – The mother of the youngest victim gunned down five years ago in a massacre at Northern Illinois University asked lawmakers Tuesday to give local police a say in issuing future permits to carry concealed weapons. Mary Kay Mace told the House Judiciary Committee that county sheriffs often know the people in jurisdictions better than criminal background checks or mental health histories might reveal. The testimony came during a three-hour hearing on court-required gun legislation. Mace is the mother of 19-year-old Ryann Mace of Carpentersville, one of five students killed on the DeKalb campus in February 2008 by Steven Kazmierczak, a former NIU graduate stu-

dent with a history of mental illness who nonetheless was able to buy weapons legally. “Many local law enforcement officials in smaller and rural areas know their citizens personally. These local officers are well aware of who stumbles Mary Kay out of the bar Mace after having imbibed too much,” Mace said. “... These local officers know which of their citizens is a hothead who menaces his or her spouse.” The mother’s soft-butsteady testimony crystallized perhaps the fundamental issue surrounding the likely adoption of concealed carry here: Should Illinois be a “may-issue” state, in which local police can deny a permit despite an otherwise clear background, or a
“shall-issue” location where anyone who meets prescribed criteria must get a permit to carry? Gun-rights advocates such as the National Rifle Association believe they have the upper hand, with good reason. The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in December that the Illinois ban on carrying concealed weapons – the only statewide ban remaining in the nation – is unconstitutional. The court gave the General Assembly until June 9 to draft a law. After that, NRA lobbyist Todd Vandermyde said, “the clock runs out” and the court will implement its own law. “We went to court and we won,” said Vandermyde, who left open the door to negotiating fair legislation, but noted his constituents’ patience is waning, given what he said has been the
governor’s and Chicago officials’ unwillingness to compromise. “We cannot ban violent criminals. We cannot ban mental illness, said Valinda Rowe of the pro-gunrights group IllinoisCarry. “We can’t keep drawing imaginary circles around our communities, around our schools, declaring that they are gun-free zones, and then pretending that the violent criminals and mentally deranged won’t cross that line and harm our children.” Debate during the hearing in a packed, ornate state Capitol hearing room ranged from Thomas Jefferson’s views on armed citizens to the 70,000 monthly applications the Illinois State Police receive for firearm owners’ identification cards, despite nearly 1.5 million FOID cards already issued in Illinois.
8STATE BRIEF Art Institute of Chicago opens Picasso show CHICAGO – The Art Institute of Chicago is opening a major exhibition of works by Pablo Picasso.

Refinery buying local items If you go
By DAVID THOMAS dthomas@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Doug Thompson was left to sift through his father’s belongings after his father died last year. Items that seemed valuable but that he didn’t want or need he brought to the Best Western DeKalb, 1212 W. Lincoln Highway, where representatives from Midwest Gold and Silver Refinery were buying. “There was a bunch of stuff we didn’t need or my kids didn’t want, so instead of throwing it out, we decided to bring it over here and make a little money,” said Thompson, a Creston resident. “Not a lot, but it was something.” All this week, representatives from Midwest Gold and Silver Refinery will be buying gold, silver, pre-1964 coins and pre-1934 paper currency, antique toys and instruments, as well as modern electronics. Manager Argen Dodds said most of these items are sent down to Lincoln, to their home store, Uncle Buck’s Trading Post. A driver’s license is needed for any transactions. Thompson said he made $10 from the items he sold Tuesday afternoon. Not all of the items he brought were sold, but Thompson said he felt like he got a fair shake. “I think the prices were very fair,” Thompson said. “I know it’s only $10, but for the trinkets ... they were fair with it.” Dodds said they use what

Dodds estimated that a person can get 50 to 60 percent of the eBay price, depending on the item’s condition. He added that his outfit takes away some of the uncertainty of using eBay.
“eBay takes a 20 percent fee. You have to pay to ship it. And you have to take all of the risk – you shipping and when you ship it ... [the bidder] has three days to pay you if they think it’s in the same condition as the picture,” Dodds said. “It’s a lot more risk.
We’re taking all the risk and paying you right away for it.” Thompson said he planned to return this week with his Teisco Del Rey electric guitar from the 1960s. In addition to antique items, Dodds said they also buy modern electronics. Depending on the age and condition of the item, it will either be retrofitted and resold or recycled. Company spokesman Frank Ross said they recycle the items according to the law. “You’re going to have a tough time getting it out of the house legally,” Ross said. Although they are advertising for specific items, Dodds said they are open to examining other items. “We’ll pretty much buy anything and everything if we can make money on it,” Dodds said.
Quest for revenge leads to brawl, DeKalb police say By JEFF ENGELHARDT jengelhardt@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Four people have been charged in a weekend home invasion that ended in a brawl outside a DeKalb apartment complex. DeKalb Police Cmdr. John Petragallo said a fight broke out on the 800 block of Greenbrier Road just after 5 p.m. Saturday when a group of four people armed with a baseball bat went searching for two people who they believed had robbed one of their friends earlier in the day. Charged in the incident are: Mitchell R. Jenkins, 22, of the 900 block of Spiros Court in DeKalb; Jemario Corneilius, 26, of the 1000 block of State Street in DeKalb; Alicia M. Crider, 22, of the 900 block of Spiros Court in DeKalb; and Elise E. Lewis, 19, of the 1000 block of State Street in DeKalb. All four were charged with home invasion, mob action and criminal trespass to residence. Petragallo said the victims of the home invasion are believed to have visited an acquaintance early Saturday at an apartment in the 900 block of Regent Drive. During their visit, one of the two men pulled a handgun before they stole a laptop and fled. Instead of reporting the armed robbery, Petragallo said the resident of the apart-

ment made calls to friends, which led to Jenkins, Corneilius, Crider and Lewis coming together to search for the people who took the laptop. When the group arrived at the apartment on Greenbrier Road, they found a woman alone in the residence. Petragallo said the group then intimidated her into calling one of the people believed to have stolen the laptop. That person then came to the Greenbrier location with a group of people and a fight broke out. Petragallo said only two people suffered injuries and an investigation into the earlier armed robbery is
ongoing. Bond has been set at $500,000 for all four. Corneilius is scheduled to be in court today and the other three will be in court Thursday.
DHS sees decrease in student infractions By DAVID THOMAS dthomas@shawmedia.com DeKALB – DeKalb High School officials said the number of student infractions from the first semester are down, year over year. In a report presented to the school board Tuesday night, DHS Dean Sean Chamberlain said there is a 40 percent reduction in the number of referrals between first semester 2011-12 and first semester 2012-13. Chamberlain cautioned that the data might seem misleading. Not mentioned in the report, Chamberlain said, is the fact that 55 percent of DHS students did not receive any referral. “We’re only looking at 45 percent of our population here,” Chamberlain said. Out of the 1,700-plus students that attend DHS, 113 students – or 6.5 percent of the student body – received five or more referrals in the first semester. Chamberlain said the majority of students who are written up usually

Five DHS students were penalized for weapons during the first semester 201213, an increase of four compared to the same period last year. This year’s figures also take into account bullying as a result of race and ethnicity, gender and other reasons. DHS Principal Tamra Ropeter said none of the weapons infractions involved firearms, and that small pocketknives also count as weapons. Ropeter said at least two of the infractions occurred at an alternative school but involved DHS students, which is why it was counted. The different types of bullying were highlighted this way because it is helpful for school officials to identify what kind of resources they need to combat it, Ropeter said. Clinton Rosette and Huntley middle schools also saw similar drops in the total number of referrals, with a 28 percent and 25 percent reduction, respectively.

Wrongful death suit may expand Bogenberger family attorney may want more students named By JEFF ENGELHARDT jengelhardt@shawmedia.com DeKALB – More students could be named in the wrongful death lawsuit filed by the parents of David Bogenberger, the 19-year-old fraternity pledge who died after a night of heavy drinking in November. Bogenberger family attorney Peter Coladarci was granted an emergency request Tuesday by a Cook County judge to quickly receive police reports, photographs and other evidence that would provide the names of all those who attended the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity party Nov. 1 near the Northern Illinois University campus in DeKalb. Coladarci said it was imperative to identify all those potentially responsible
quickly because many students could leave the area after school ends in May. The lawsuit names 22 fraternity members, but Coladarci said more could be responsible as there were more than 40 people at David Bogenberger the party and more than 30 face discipline from NIU. “It would make it easier for everybody,” Coladarci said of adding more people to the lawsuit before graduation. “It’s very possible more than 22 people were culpable for this.” Bogenberger was found dead at the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity house Nov. 2 after an unsanctioned “par-
ents night” party hosted for him and 18 other fraternity pledges. Sorority members who acted as “moms” at the party are among those who could be added to the lawsuit. According to the lawsuit filed Thursday in Cook County, fraternity members put Bogenberger on a couch or bed in the house after he passed out from drinking rather than seeking medical attention. Several other pledges told authorities that they got sick or passed out because of heavy drinking. The wrongful death lawsuit is seeking more than $100,000 in damages from the national fraternity, the fraternity’s Eta Nu chapter at NIU, the chapter officers, the event organizers and people who participated in the party.

Steve Greenberg (from left), Joe Lopez and David J. Peilet, defense lawyers for Drew Peterson, answer questions as they leave the Will County Courthouse on Tuesday in Joliet after a hearing in Drew Peterson’s murder trial. The hearing for Peterson ended without a ruling on the former suburban Chicago police officer’s request for a new trial.
Hearing ends with no ruling By MICHAEL TARM The Associated Press JOLIET – The attorney who led the defense team in Drew Peterson’s 2012 murder trial sat in the witness box Tuesday and faced questions from his former co-counsel – the latest turn in a long-running legal saga full of strange twists. The rarity of former legal colleagues facing off as adversaries came at a hearing to decide if Peterson, a former suburban Chicago police officer, should get a new trial in the slaying of his third wife. His current attorneys contend that former lead attor-
ney Joel Brodsky botched Peterson’s trial, which ended in September with jurors convicting Peterson of murdering his third wife, Kathleen Savio. Witnesses during the daylong hearing Tuesday included Brodsky, a law professor who teaches ethics and even a spectator during last year’s trial. The hearing resumes today. Peterson, 59, faces a maximum 60-year prison term for killing Savio, who was found dead in her bathtub with a gash on her head. The former Bolingbrook police sergeant gained nationwide notori-
ety after his much younger fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, vanished in 2007. Her disappearance led authorities to exhume Savio’s body and change the cause of death from an accident to a homicide. The dispute between Peterson’s former lawyer and his current ones is in sharp contrast to the beginning of Peterson’s trial, when the limelight-seeking defense team faced the media together. Several times, they joked that Stacy Peterson – who authorities presume is dead but whose body was never found – could show up any day to take the stand.
Fourth suspect arrested in home invasion By JEFF ENGELHARDT jengelhardt@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – A fourth suspect was arrested overnight Tuesday in connection with a home invasion on the 900 block of Lucinda Avenue early Thursday. Blaine I. Goodall, 20, of the 1200 block of Indian Creek Trail in Aurora, has been charged with home invasion, armed robbery and attempted criminal sexual assault, police said. The home invasion and armed robbery charges are Class X felonies, which typically are punishable with between six and 30 years in prison. He is being held on $500,000 bond.

The national fraternity deflected responsibility in a written statement released late Monday, stating it has strict policies against hazing and alcohol abuse. “The international fraternity does not manage or control the day-to-day activities of the affiliated chapters nor their adult members,” said Justin Buck, executive vice president. Coladarci remained confident the national fraternity failed in its responsibility. “I know for a fact they’ve had other incidents like this,” he said. “If anybody should know how to effectively police events like this it would be an international fraternity that’s been around for decades.” A status hearing on the case is scheduled for March 13 in Cook County.

U.S. ready to strike back on cyberattacks By LOLITA C. BALDOR The Associated Press WASHINGTON – As public evidence mounts that the Chinese military is responsible for stealing massive amounts of U.S. government data and corporate trade secrets, the Obama administration is poised to spell out specific trade actions it may take against Beijing or any other country guilty of cyberespionage. According to officials familiar with the plans, the White House is eyeing fines, penalties and other trade restrictions as initial, more-aggressive steps the U.S. would take in response to what top officials say has been an unrelenting campaign of cyberstealing linked to the Chinese government. The new strategy is to be released Wednesday, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the threatened action. The White House plans come after a Virginia-based cybersecurity firm released a torrent of details Monday
that tied a secret Chinese military unit in Shanghai to years of cyberattacks against U.S. companies. After analyzing breaches that compromised more than 140 companies, Mandiant has concluded that they can be linked to the People’s Liberation Army’s Unit 61398. Military experts believe the unit is part of the People’s Liberation Army’s cybercommand, which is under the direct authority of the General Staff Department, China’s version of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. As such, its activities would be likely to be authorized at the highest levels of China’s military. The release of Mandiant’s report, complete with details on three of the alleged hackers and photographs of one of the military unit’s buildings in Shanghai, makes public what U.S. authorities have said less publicly for years. But it also increases the pressure on the U.S. to take more forceful action against the Chinese for what experts say has been years of systematic espionage. “IftheChinesegovernment

their cybersecurity the government needs to focus more on how to deter the hackers and the nations that are backing them. James Lewis, a cybersecurity expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said that in the past year the White House has been taking a serious look at responding to China, adding that “this will be the year they will put more pressure on, even while realizing it will be hard for the Chinese to change. There’s not an onoff switch.” The Chinese government, meanwhile, has denied involvement in the cyber-attacks tracked by Mandiant. Instead, the Foreign Ministry said that China, too, is a victim of hacking, some of it traced to the U.S. Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei cited a report by an agency under the Ministry of Information Technology and Industry that said in 2012 alone that foreign hackers used viruses and other malicious software to seize control of 1,400 computers in China and 38,000 websites.
Obama presses GOP to halt automatic spending cuts The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – Staking out his ground ahead of a fiscal deadline, President Barack Obama lashed out against Republicans, saying they are unwilling to raise taxes to reduce deficits and warning that the jobs of essential government workers, from teachers to emergency responders, are on the line. Obama spoke as a March 1 deadline for automatic across-the-board spending cuts approached and with Republicans and Democrats in an apparent stalemate over how to avoid them.
Obama cautioned that if the $85 billion in immediate cuts – known as the sequester – occur, the full range of government would feel the effects, from furloughed FBI agents to reductions in spending for communities to pay police and fire personnel and teachers. He said the consequences would be felt across the economy. “People will lose their jobs,” he said. “The unemployment rate might tick up again.” “So far at least, the ideas that the Republicans have proposed ask nothing of the wealthiest Americans or the
golfing weekend in Florida. Congress is not in session this week, meaning no votes will occur before next week and complicating the ability to negotiate any short-term resolution. Obama wants to offset the sequester through a combination of targeted spending cuts and increased tax revenue. The White House is backing a proposal unveiled last week by Senate Democrats that is in line with the president’s principles. But that plan was met with an icy reception by Republicans, who oppose raising taxes to offset the cuts. GOP
biggest corporations,” Obama said. “So the burden is all on the first responders, or seniors or middle class families.” House Republicans have proposed an alternative to the immediate cuts, targeting some spending and extending some of the reductions over a longer period of time. They also have said they are willing to undertake changes in the tax code and eliminate loopholes and tax subsidies. But they have said they would overhaul the tax system to reduce rates, not to raise revenue. Obama’s remarks came a day after he returned to Washington from a three-day
H E A
leaders say the president got the tax increases he wanted at the beginning of the year when Congress agreed to raise taxes on family income above $450,000 a year. The White House said Obama on Tuesday would call on congressional Republicans to compromise and accept the Senate Democrats’ proposal. The Democrats propose to generate revenue by plugging some tax loopholes. Those include tax breaks for the oil and natural gas industry and businesses that have sent jobs overseas, and by taxing millionaires at a rate of at least 30 percent.
Authorities: 4 dead in California shooting spree TUSTIN, Calif. – A young man shot a woman to death in a home early Tuesday then went on a spree of carjackings and random shootings across Orange County that left two more people dead and three others wounded before the gunman killed himself, authorities said. Many more victims were shot at but unhurt, Tustin Lt. Paul Garaven said. The gunman was only described as being in his 20s, and his motive was not known, according to officials of at least four agencies investigating multiple crime scenes. It was unclear if the victims knew each other or the shooter, Orange County sheriff’s spokesman Jim Amormino said. “It might have been a random thing,” he said. “We just don’t know.” The shootings began at 4:45 a.m. when deputies responding to a call found the woman shot multiple times in a house in Ladera Ranch, about 55 miles southeast of Los Angeles. Several shootings occurred in the next hour at other locations.
Missile strike kills 33 in northern Syria BEIRUT – A Syrian missile strike leveled a block of buildings in an impoverished district of Aleppo on Tuesday, killing at least 33 people, almost half of them children, anti-regime activists said. Many were trapped under the rubble of destroyed houses and piles of concrete and the death toll still could rise further if more bodies are uncovered. The apparent ground-to-ground missile attack struck a quiet area that has been held by anti-regime fighters for many months, a reminder of how difficult it is for the opposition to defend territory in the face of the regime’s far superior weaponry.

Visiting heart of DeKalb worth a visit
U.S. hiding behind tortured definitions If it is true, as the writer Samuel Johnson once said, that “patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel,” then the dictionary must be the first. Consider how readily our leaders, in justifying what cannot be justified, parse definitions down to microns of fineness or invent obfuscating euphemisms to hide behind. As in Bill Clinton’s memorable attempt to deny he had misled the American people about his relationship with a White House intern. “It depends on what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is,” he said. Then, there was the Bush administration’s attempt to make waterboarding, sleep deprivation, clothes deprivation, stress positions and other filthy instruments of torture sound as antiseptic as an operating room: “enhanced interrogation,” they called it. To those acts of violence against clarity, we can add a new one. A Justice Department memo recently obtained by NBC News authorizes drone strikes to kill U.S. citizens who join al-Qaida, saying this is legal when three conditions are met. The third is that the operation be conducted “consistent with applicable law of war principles.” The second is that capture is infeasible. But it is the first that puts ice down your back. It requires that “an informed, high-level official of the U.S. government has determined that the targeted individual poses an imminent threat of violent attack against the United States.” If you don’t see why that should shiver your spine, perhaps you use a different
VIEWS Leonard Pitts dictionary than the government. MerriamWebster for instance, defines “imminent” as an adjective meaning, “ready to take place; especially: hanging threateningly over one’s head.” But in its memo, which surfaces as the Senate ponders confirming John Brennan as director of the CIA, the Justice Department says its definition of “imminent threat” doesn’t require “clear evidence that a specific attack on U.S. persons and interests will take place in the immediate future.” In other words, “imminent” doesn’t mean “imminent.” And if U.S. intelligence – which we all know is infallible, right? – determines you to be a member of al-Qaida, that determination, absent any evidence of a planned attack, gives the government the legal pretext to vaporize you. Worse, the government contends this may be done without oversight, judicial or otherwise. The president becomes, quite literally, your judge, jury and executioner. That’s what happened to Anwar alAwlaki, the Muslim cleric, born in New Mexico, who was dispatched to meet Allah in 2011 after a career of planning and inciting terrorist attacks in the United States, including the failed bombing of Times Square in 2010.
No one weeps for this man. Yet it is possible to be glad the planet is rid of him and yet, deeply concerned about the means used to achieve that goal. Not for his sake, or for the sake of any other plotter against this country but, rather, for the sake of the country itself. Barack Obama came to office decrying just this sort of Bush-league overreach, the end-justifies-the-means rationalizations of an administration that reserved the right to imprison without trial and issued memos contemplating the legality of scalding a prisoner with water or putting his eyes out. Of course, Michael Corleone was critical of the Don, too, until he assumed that power. So it was welcome to hear the president pledge greater transparency, in last week’s State of the Union address. And administration officials say they have been pondering ways to create independent oversight of the counterterrorism program. But it is time to stop pledging and pondering and just do. The idea of a secret killing program, answerable to no one, is jarringly inconsonant with who and what we are supposed to be. One fears that, in the name of expedience, we will become what we abhor. Indeed, the danger is imminent. Whatever that means.

Less risky alternatives to minimum wage hike By CHARLES LANE The Washington Post WASHINGTON – Liberal firebrand Paul Krugman backs President Obama’s plan for a phased-in 25 percent increase in the minimum wage, to $9 per hour. But he still is economist enough to note that raising it to $20 “would create a lot of problems” – among them, presumably, pricing lowskilled workers out of the job market. There must be some level beyond which the minimum wage does more harm than good, and no one really denies it. Studies showing that higher minimum wages have little or no impact on employment generally refer to modest increments, or, as the White House’s own fact sheet puts it, “the kind of minimum wage increases we have seen in the United States.” So the issue before us is whether Obama can hit the sweet spot: all higher-income upside for the working poor, and no job-killing downside.
I’m skeptical. Economists David Neumark of the University of California at Irvine and William Wascher of the Federal Reserve have spent their careers studying minimum wages. They found that, by and large, they reduce employment of young, low-skilled people. The last time the minimum wage was increased, in July 2009, Neumark estimated a loss of 300,000 jobs. Those who disagree start from the plausible premise that the labor market is not perfectly competitive – not many markets are – and that minimum wages correct for this. In 2010, economist Arindrajit Dube of the University of Massachusetts and two colleagues studied county-level data for restaurants in neighboring states with different minimum wages. There was a job-killing effect in states with higher minimum wages, but it disappeared when they controlled for broader regional employment trends. Ergo, higher minimums were not to blame.
Neumark and his colleagues responded with a paper arguing that Dube & Co. failed to justify their choice of non-minimumwage factors and that the minimum wage’s job-killing effects remain. I found Neumark persuasive, but I’m no statistician. Even if Dube is right, it’s worth asking why. The answer, broadly, is that employers must have found ways to offset a higher minimum wage: raise prices, cut profits, organize their businesses more efficiently – or, in a more positive sense, reap the productivity benefits of a happier, more stable workforce. John Schmitt of the leftleaning Center for Economic and Policy Research argues that employers probably make several small adjustments. Hard data are scarce, but the best evidence suggests that four offsets are most important, according to Schmitt: lower labor turnover, greater organizational efficiency, “wage compression” (lower wages higher up
the payscale) and small price increases. Note that two of these – wage compression and price increases – hurt other workers and consumers. In short, Obama’s proposal works if it is, in fact, equivalent to those past increases in the minimum wage, which, according to certain studies, have not harmed employment. There are two risks: The studies are wrong; or, they’re right but Obama picked the wrong wage level. Both risks are borne by the least-skilled, poorest members of the labor force. Here’s a thought: Don’t eliminate the minimum wage. Leave it at $7.25, in recognition of the fact that the labor market is competitive, but imperfectly so. Increase the earned-income tax credit. And then index both to inflation so we can lock in their value over time – and argue about something else.

It’s an age-old question: What should we do about downtown? The question probably has been asked hundreds of times over the past 30 years in DeKalb. Last week it was asked again at a meeting sponsored by Re:New DeKalb, the city of DeKalb and the DeKalb Chamber of Commerce. About 50 community leaders showed up to share ideas about improving downtown and discuss its future. Some of the suggestions included expanding the core both eastward and westward and integrating Northern Illinois University. While we think discussing the future of downtown is essential, there needs to be realistic expectations. This is not Naperville and we don’t have a riverwalk.

Rethinking ‘State of the Union’ ritual When the most memorable moment of the Capitol’s State of the Union evening involves rising Republican star Marco Rubio lunging for a water bottle, it’s a sure sign this tradition is badly in need of rethinking. Florida’s freshman senator was not even the featured attraction. Rubio was delivering the Republican rebuttal to the main event, President Barack Obama’s second nationally televised ceremonial address in less than a month, the first being his inspiring inaugural address. Rubio’s theme: Big government is bad. He was not alone in rebutting the president. Kentucky GOP freshman Sen. Rand Paul rebutted on behalf of the tea party movement. By that time, the honest citizens of the Eastern Time zone were headed off to bed. In the West, they were undoubtedly Barack watching the aftermath of the successObama ful manhunt in California that led to the presumed death of loopy left copkiller Christopher Dorner in a burning cabin. The State of the Union has developed the annoying ritual of the president’s party standing and wildly cheering at each applause point while the other party sits grim-faced and arms folded. The Republicans cheer anything that sounds like a tax cut. Everybody cheers for the troops, whom the president committed to bring home from Afghanistan in substantial numbers. Sadly, Congress was cheering even though we have not won that war, and at this point, are extremely unlikely to. That’s not quite the same thing as cheering for losing a war, but it’s close. ... As formulaic and ineffective as the State of the Union speech has become, it now serves a new and useful role: In an increasingly polarized Congress, it is one of the few times all the members gather together to be reminded of their common purpose. Too bad that reminder is so swiftly forgotten. Marietta (Ga.) Daily Journal

Participants looking forward to challenge • PHYSICAL Continued from page A1 Each CrossFit session begins with a prescribed warmup to prepare participants for the intense workout of the day, which differs every day. One such workout involves several set of hanging pullups, knee-ups and weight carrying for 12 minutes straight. “The first five minutes, everyone’s on a mission,” said Balentyne. “After seven minutes it turns into ‘How can I survive this workout?’ ” Each workout is scaled to fit each person individually because not everyone is at the same level of fitness, Balentyne said. Regardless of fitness level, every member completes the same type of workout, which CrossFit newcomer Chris Honnold said creates a bond among participants. “Here, I show up and they tell us what we’re all doing,” he said. “It’s like being on a team.” Balentyne said the best part about CrossFit is when all the participants complete their workout and congratulate each other afterward. Mitrovic agreed CrossFit is a great way to build friendships by working together as a team. “You all experience something together,” he said. Sycamore CrossFit isn’t the only program that encourages participants to get fit while working as a team. Larry Allison, a partici-
pant in the Live Healthy Team Challenge, said he has tried individual weight-loss plans in the past, but hasn’t seen the kind of results he does when working in a group setting. “There’s so much more support. You’re involved with your own group,” he said. “You have a team challenge as well as a personal challenge to follow your diet and your exercise.” In addition to getting back into a healthy exercise routine, Allison said he hopes to lose 15 to 20 pounds in time for his 50-year high school reunion this summer. “If that isn’t enough motivation, I don’t know what is,” he said. One of the program’s veterans, Jackie Brown, said she enjoys the competition aspect of the program. “It’s always good to work with a group and see other people doing it,” she said. Brown has placed first or second in the past four team challenge competitions. She has joined the program each time, working to reach her target weight after pregnancy. She said she earned second place last year, losing 13 percent of her body fat. The winner, who is now one of her good friends, lost 15 percent. Brown said she is excited to get started on another fitness competition when the Live Healthy Team Challenge kicks off next week. “I’m looking forward to it,” she said. “It’s always a good time.”

Drug overdose deaths up again The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – Drug overdose deaths rose for the 11th straight year, federal data show, and most of them were accidents involving addictive painkillers despite growing attention to risks from these medicines. “The big picture is that this is a big problem that has gotten much worse quickly,” said Dr. Thomas Frieden, head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which gathered and analyzed the data. In 2010, the CDC reported, there were 38,329 drug overdose deaths nationwide. Medicines, mostly prescription drugs, were involved in nearly 60 percent of overdose deaths that year, overshadowing deaths from illicit narcotics. The report appears in Tuesday’s Journal of the
American Medical Association. It details which drugs were at play in most of the fatalities. As in previous recent years, opioid drugs – which include OxyContin and Vicodin – were the biggest problem, contributing to 3 out of 4 medication overdose deaths. Frieden said many doctors and patients don’t realize how addictive these drugs can be, and that they’re too often prescribed for pain that can be managed with less risky drugs. They’re useful for cancer, “but if you’ve got terrible back pain or terrible migraines,” using these addictive drugs can be dangerous, he said. Medication-related deaths accounted for 22,134 of the drug overdose deaths in 2010. Anti-anxiety drugs including Valium were among common causes of medication-
related deaths, involved in almost 30 percent of them. Among the medication-related deaths, 17 percent were suicides. The report’s data came from death certificates, which aren’t always clear on whether a death was a suicide or a tragic attempt at getting high. But it does seem like most serious painkiller overdoses were accidental, said Dr. Rich Zane, chair of emergency medicine at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. The study’s findings are no surprise, he added. “The results are consistent with what we experience” in ERs, he said, adding that the statistics no doubt have gotten worse since 2010. Some experts believe these deaths will level off. “Right now, there’s a general belief that because these are pharmaceutical drugs, they’re safer than street drugs like
heroin,” said Don Des Jarlais, director of the chemical dependency institute at New York City’s Beth Israel Medical Center. “But at some point, people using these drugs are going to become more aware of the dangers,” he said. Frieden said the data show a need for more prescription drug monitoring programs at the state level, and more laws shutting down “pill mills” – doctor offices and pharmacies that over-prescribe addictive medicines. Last month, a federal panel of drug safety specialists recommended that Vicodin and dozens of other medicines be subjected to the same restrictions as other narcotic drugs like oxycodone and morphine. Meanwhile, more and more hospitals have been establishing tougher restrictions on painkiller prescriptions and refills.

Replacement must be GOP member from District 3 • COUNTY BOARD Continued from page A1 “The voices of the people in his district were always very important to him,” Tobias said. “He always had lots of ideas and wanted to do what he thought was best.” District 4 County Board member Anthony Cvek, RSycamore, complimented Andersen in a prepared statement. “Andersen is a true patriot whose work in the community exemplifies what it means to put service before self,” Cvek wrote. “With his departure from the board, the taxpayers of DeKalb County have lost a fierce and tireless advocate.” Metzger said he was surprised at Andersen’s resignation, and added he would
officially announce the resignation at today’s County Board meeting. The appointee must be a Republican from District 3, which includes a large portion of Sycamore and a northern section of Cortland. “We’ll find someone that is very capable of representing the district,” Metzger said. “We’ll come up with a good person.” Andersen said he had no doubt a strong replacement would be selected in the best interest of the voters. “I feel that it would not be fair to the voters of the district to have their representative not pursuing the goals that they have given me,” Andersen wrote in his resignation letter. “The voters are our bosses and if I had an employee feeling this way I would let him go also.”

Posey earns steepest rise in arbitration NEW YORK – Reserved for the better part of February for the contentious process of salary arbitration, the Ellis East Room on the second floor of the Hyatt Regency Phoenix went unused. For the first time since arbitration began in 1974, none of the players who filed wound up arguing their cases. After peaking at 35 hearings in 1986, the number of salary arbitration cases argued hasn’t reached double digits since 2001. The total dropped to a record low of three in 2005, 2009 and 2011, and then there were none at all this year. All 133 players who filed last month settled, gaining an average increase of 119 percent, according to a study by The Associated Press. San Francisco catcher Buster Posey (above, right), the NL batting champion and MVP, led the way with a 13-fold hike to $8 million. Relatively few big-name stars even filed. Giants pitcher Tim Lincecum’s final two seasons of arbitration eligibility were covered by a $40.5 million, two-year contract agreed to in January 2012. Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw agreed the following month to a two-year deal guaranteeing $19 million that leaves him with just one more arbitration-eligible season. Evidence of the change is that the highest salary awarded in arbitration remains $10 million, to Alfonso Soriano in 2006 and to Ryan Howard and Francisco Rodriguez two years later – Howard was the only winner among the three. The increase for this year’s arbitration group was up from 89 percent last year but down from 123 percent in 2011. – Wire report

DeKALB – After more than eight months without a permanent head coach in place, the DeKalb football team finally has its leader. The DeKalb School District 428 board approved Matt Weckler as DeKalb’s new football coach at its meeting Tuesday. Weckler also will teach physical education at DeKalb. “DeKalb is one of those schools – one place I wanted to be,” Weckler said, stating that he has heard good things
about the school and the area from others. “(DeKalb) seems like a great place to work, to compete ... to raise a family.” Weckler coached six seasons at Belvidere, leading the Bucs to a 3129 record over that span. The Bucs made the IHSA Class 5A playoffs in four of Matt Weckler Weckler’s six seasons, advancing as far as the quarterfinals in 2007 before falling to Morris. Weckler has worked under current DeKalb athletic director Bryon Houy,
who was the AD at Belvidere for five years before coming to DeKalb in 2012. Houy said he worked with a search committee – a group of parents, coaches, and teachers who were “stakeholders” in the program – to pick a new coach. He said he took a step back from the selection process, so as to avoid appearances of favoritism. Houy praised the selection of Weckler. “He’s good with kids,” Houy said. “He puts the kids first. That’s what we need.”

said with a hoarse voice after an emotional roller-coaster of a meet. “Normally you don’t like to put it all on one person, but that was a huge win for him.” Swick didn’t pin his opponent like Sycamore state medalists Austin Culton, Jake Davis and Akins. But the score was 27-25 with just two matches left in the meet when Swick stepped up to wrestle state qualifier Tyler Wilkinson. If the senior lost, the meet would have been virtually
over for the Spartans with 182-pounder Bobby Schillinger, who finished sixth at individual state, on deck for the Foxes. If he won, all Chris Malone would have to do at 182 pounds was avoid losing by pin or technical fall. “I knew if I won my match, that would pretty much do it,” Swick said.

Unfortunately for the Hawks, they already were trailing by 35 points. The Hawks outscored Polo, 40-22, over the game’s final 13:45, but couldn’t recover from the huge deficit in a 78-61 loss to end their season. “We started to run through our offense, really execute a lot better in the second half,” Hiawatha coach Danny Klein

The Marcos scored on 16 layups in the first 18 minute of the game, nine of them coming in transition. They also had 10 points on putbacks off their own misses. “We wanted to try and run them out of the gym,” Polo coach Matt Messer said. “We had more depth, and we wanted to see if they could keep up. Our fast-break offense really got going, but I wish we would have played more solid defense.”

No. 1 Indiana beats No. 4 Michigan State EAST LANSING, Mich. – Victor Oladipo’s go-ahead putback, dunk and free throws in the final minute lifted top-ranked Indiana to a 72-68 win over No. 4 Michigan State on Tuesday night. Indiana (24-3, 12-2 Big Ten) broke a first-place tie in the conference and moved a step closer toward earning top seeding next month in the NCAA tournament. The Hoosiers had lost 17 straight – since 1991 – on the road against the Spartans.
Memorial service set for Lakers owner Jerry Buss LOS ANGELES – A memorial service for Los Angeles Lakers owner Jerry Buss will be held Thursday across from Staples Center. The team says the service at Nokia Theatre is for invited guests only and isn’t open to the public. Buss died Monday at age 80 of kidney failure after struggling with cancer over the last 18 months. He will be honored before the Lakers host the Boston Celtics tonight.
Report: Pads’ Cabrera listed in Fla. clinic records San Diego Padres shortstop Everth Cabrera is among five players whose names are listed in the records of a Florida clinic at the center of a Major League Baseball investigation into illegal drugs, ESPN reported Tuesday. The report said Cabrera, who led the NL in stolen bases last season, was listed along with Padres reliever Fautino De Los Santos, Oakland reliever Jordan Norberto, Houston outfielder Fernando Martinez and New York Mets outfield prospect Cesar Puello. The Biogenesis of America clinic run by Anthony Bosch in Coral Gables is now closed. The facility allegedly provided performanceenhancing substances to several players, including Alex Rodriguez, Melky Cabrera and Nelson Cruz. – Staff, wire reports

Thuestad earns academic honor By ROSS JACOBSON rjacobson@shawmedia.com It took Kate Thuestad a while to name off all the extracurricular activities she’s involved in at Indian Creek. To say she stays busy at school is an understatement. Because of her accomplishments as a two-sport star at Indian Creek, 4.0 GPA and involvement in numerous clubs and activities, Thuestad was named to the IHSA Academic All-State Team as an honorable mention selection. The IHSA chooses 26 to its Academic All-State first team, then 50 honorable mentions. Each school gets to nominate one female and one male athlete who has participated in two at least two IHSA activities and has a GPA of at least 3.5. “I’m just really excited and honored that I could be with all the other top student-athletes

Thuestad is Indian Creek’s class president and is involved
with the school’s chapters of the National Honors Society, DCPSAFE and FCCLA. She
also plays in the band. As part of the application process, nominees also are required to write an essay about how sports and academics changed their lives. “I wrote about how leadership is really important and being the varsity volleyball captain was the achievement I valued most,” Thuestad said. “How working hard, dedication, earning the trust of my teammates was how I got the position.” Thuestad was a Daily Chronicle all-area second team selection as a senior in volleyball and helped lead the Timberwolves’ basketball team to the regional championship game this season. She will be attending Loras College in Iowa next year and plans to study something in the subjects of math and science, but has not declared a major. Thuestad will also play volleyball for the Duhawks.

Bolton to play for Kishwaukee soccer “A couple of them are actually from the Little Ten. As soon as I walked in I knew them and they knew me. We just started clicking and playing really well together.”
By ROSS JACOBSON rjacobson@shawmedia.com Goaltenders usually defer credit to their defenders after pitching a shutout, and Indian Creek senior Aaron Bolton will have to credit fellow senior Kyle Lieving with an assist after signing to play soccer at Kishwaukee College on Tuesday. Lieving received emails from Kishwaukee’s coaching staff, inviting him to the Kougars’ open gyms this winter. But the coaches also wanted him to bring Bolton along. The two teammates went and Bolton felt an instant connection

with the staff. “I really liked the coach and he understood where I was coming from with what I want to do with my future,” Bolton said. “He said he was looking for character and good solid players on the team.” Bolton has been Indian Creek’s starting goaltender
since he was a freshman. He was named to the Little Ten all-conference each of the past two seasons and was a Daily Chronicle all-area second-team selection as a senior. He was an honorable mention all-area pick as a junior. Bolton said he also had offers from Aurora University,
Dubuque (Iowa) and Northland College (Wisc.), but said his familiarity with the players was also a big positive at Kishwaukee. “A couple of them are actually from the Little Ten,” Bolton said. “As soon as I walked in I knew them and they knew me. We just started clicking and playing really well together.” Bolton plans to study fire science at Kishwaukee and is hoping to transfer and also major in business. But for now he’s focused on getting Lieving to sign on with Kishwaukee as well. “I’m pushing him,” Bolton said.

Todd, IC boys basketball rout LaMoille By DAILY CHRONICLE STAFF sports@daily-chronicle.com Jaron Todd scored 27 points, making eight 3-pointers for Indian Creek’s boys basketball team in the Timberwolves’ 61-35 win over LaMoille at the Class 1A Erie Regional. The game was continued from last night, when it was suspended because of a power outage at Erie’s gym. Garrison Govig added 10 points for Indian Creek.
The Timberwolves will take on host Erie in the semifinals tonight at 7:30 p.m. “I thought we did a nice job of playing through some adversity having to come back on the second day,” Indian Creek coach Joe Piekarz said. “I Jaron Todd was proud of the focus we had.”
Cogs end regular season with win:
Genoa-Kingston topped Harvard, 44-37. The Cogs end their regular season with a record of 16-10 and 7-5 in the Big Northern East. Mason Lucca led G-K with 13 points and Adam Price had 11. “It wasn’t a very pretty game but the boys managed to get through it,” Cogs coach Corey Jenkins said. “Their zone kind of gave us a little trouble. We didn’t shoot the ball very well, but the boys kept playing.”
Weckler was 1 of 8 candidates considered from 3 states • WECKLER Continued from page B1 Last season Weckler helped Belvidere to a 5-4 record in the regular season before ending the season with a 48-0 loss to Kaneland in the first round of the Class 5A playoffs. The Bucs also fell to Kaneland, 51-45, in the first round of the 2011 playoffs. Weckler takes over for interim head coach Todd Hallaron, who led DeKalb to a 2-7 record in his only season with the Barbs. Hallaron was named the interim
coach prior to last year following the resignation of former coach Marty Sanders in May. Sanders spent three years at DeKalb led the Barbs to their first playoff performance in more than 20 years when DeKalb went 5-5 in 2010. Weckler said he has seen a lot of film on DeKalb, and he believes the Barbs are hungry for structure and competition. He described himself as being familiar with DeKalb football, stating that he followed them like any other high school football team. Weckler said his constant goal as a head coach is to win a con-
ference title and get a spot in the playoffs. “I think that’s a viable goal for us,” Weckler said. Houy said Weckler was one of eight candidates from three states who were considered for the job. Weckler was interviewed by the committee, and as one of two finalists, by the school administration. “We sat down with the stakeholders and we had a vision of what we wanted in a head coach,” Houy said. “At the end of the day, Matt fulfilled that vision.” • David Thomas contributed to this report.

PHILADELPHIA – Andrew Bynum plans on making his season debut for the Philadelphia 76ers this year, though he’s still a week or two away from practicing with the team. The 7-foot center has been sidelined by knee injuries since the Sixers acquired him from the Los Angeles Lakers last summer. He worked out for 80 minutes on Tuesday and said afterward his knees are feeling better, but he doesn’t expect to ever be pain-free. “I’ll definitely be back sometime this year,” Bynum said. “I’m focused on getting back and being right versus trying to rush.” – Wire report

CUBS NOTES
Garza sidelined for week with mild lat strain By MEGHAN MONTEMURRO mmontemurro@shawmedia.com MESA, Ariz. – The Cubs’ hopes for a healthy, injuryfree Matt Garza have been dashed less than two weeks into spring training. General manager Jed Hoyer said MRI results showed Garza suffered a mild strained lat, near his oblique, and will be sidelined one week until he is pain free, at which point he’ll resume throwing. Garza suffered the injury Sunday during his first live batting practice session. He made it halfway through his 40 pitches when he felt something pull on his left side. Garza was checked out by the Cubs trainer and walked off the field. “We’re optimistic and it was certainly a positive read from our standpoint,” Hoyer said Tuesday at Fitch Park. “He looks great. I think his body looks different and certainly his arm is in great

I think he was a caged animal because he couldn’t do a lot for a long time. … This has nothing to do with how he came into camp.” Garza’s first Cactus League start has also been pushed back and Hoyer was unsure how the injury would affect Garza’s readiness for the start of the season.

Lowry and McIlroy: Friends, partners and now opponents MARANA, Ariz. – Shane Lowry had not thought much about the Irish Open until he saw the picture posted this week on Twitter. The celebration was an Irish version of when Francis Ouimet won the 1913 U.S. Open as an amateur at Brookline. Lowry was a 22-year-old amateur at County Louth in 2009 when he holed a 2-foot putt in a playoff to beat Robert Rock. He dropped the putter and raised his arms in one motion, bounced on his feet and thrust his arms forward. He rushed into the arms of his caddie as hundreds of fans – parents, cousins, everyone – swarmed him on the green. The picture brought to mind a glorious day in his past – and a daunting challenge in his immediate future. In the middle of that wild scene was Rory McIlroy, brown curls spilling out from under his golf cap, shaking a bottle of champagne to douse Lowry. “It was unbelievable,” McIlroy recalled Tuesday. “Amateur comes in, virtually unheard of, and plays great in the conditions, and the celebration at the end when he beat Robert Rock in the playoff was pretty special.” Their past includes more than dreary afternoon in the rain at Baltray. They practically grew up together in Irish amateur golf, both the best in their respective age groups, and they were foursomes partners on the Irish team that won the European Team Championships in 2007. The future is Wednesday at Dove Mountain. McIlroy, already a twotime major champion at 23, is the No. 1 player in the world and the top seed in the Match Play Championship. Thanks to a peculiar series of events over the last two weeks, his opponent in the first round will be Lowry. “Who would have thought a few years ago, playing in the European Team Championships at Western Gailes, that we’d be playing in the first round of the Match Play here in a few years’ time,” McIlroy said. “It’s pretty cool to think where we’ve come from.” What makes this even more compelling is they are nothing alike. McIlroy was groomed to be a star as a toddler. Lowry didn’t even start playing golf until he was 12, and didn’t realize he was any good until his late teens. One of them is comfortable in the spotlight. The other feels at home with the
can I work hard every day on my defense. I want to be better. I want to be like Barney and win a Gold Glove.” Castro wants to be a complete player, not only shining on defense but being an allaround hitter. He expects his power numbers to improve, too. “I want to do everything, especially power, but steal bases, hit for average,” Castro said. “Last year I hit [.283], I can hit better than that. I think this year it’s going to be a good year.”
Next for the Cubs
ON GOLF Doug Ferguson boys in the pub. McIlroy looks like an athlete. Lowry has a body built by Guinness. Lowry was asked if there were any similarities between them, beyond their Irish roots. He thought long and hard before saying, “He plays golf.” “I’ve always thought that Rory was going to be one of the best golfers – if not the best golfer – in the world at some stage,” said Lowry, two years older than McIlroy. “Growing up, he was always the best in his age group. I was always the best in age groups, as well. Did I think I’d be here playing against the world No. 1? I don’t know if I knew I was good enough to turn pro and compete. I didn’t know how good I was going to be. I still don’t know how good I’m going to be. “I’m just taking one day at a time and one shot at a time and trying to become the best golfer I can be.” He was good enough to win the Irish Open as an amateur, the greatest achievement in his family since his father, Gaelic soccer star Brendan Lowry, led County Offaly to the All-Ireland Team Championship in 1992. He followed that with a win last year at the Portugal Masters. Is he good enough to beat McIlroy? “I’ll definitely be going out there fighting for this match tomorrow, and I’ll be gunning to try and beat him,” Lowry said. “I think if I beat Rory tomorrow, it would be one of the great stories of my career so far. I’ve got nothing to lose.” Irish fans really only need to pay attention to two matches on Wednesday – McIlroy and Lowry play in one, while Padraig Harrington faces Graeme McDowell in another. The link is strong with the younger lads, though. It was McIlroy who told Lowry he should turn pro after winning the Irish Open, and Lowry did. They are part of the same management company. They play practice rounds or have dinner when they’re at the same tournaments. Just not this one. So who makes the bigger headlines by winning? “I think if I win, yeah, it’ll be pretty big back home,” Lowry said. “Because no one is expecting me to win.”

Third base man Ian Stewart’s timing at the plate is still coming back to him following a nagging left wrist injury, and then surgery, ended his 2012 season early. Stewart played in only 55 games after Colorado traded him to the Cubs, hitting .201 with five home runs and 17 RBIs. “It kind of feels like last year, but I did have the sur-
gery,” Stewart said. “But I’m a lot more confident in my telling you that I do feel really good.” Manager Dale Sveum believes Stewart is capable of hitting 15-25 home runs this year with 75-100 RBIs. Stewart said he’s capable of producing even more than that at the plate, but called it a good starting point. First, however, he’ll have to hold off infielder Luis Valbuena to secure the job. Valbuena took over at third after Stewart’s season ended early last year. “I didn’t get a lot of time hitting on the field so it’s always a little different the first few times you get back on the field and hit,” Stewart said. “I’m getting used to that, just getting outside and hitting. You face a guy throwing at you but you don’t really face a pitcher until either live [batting practice] or until games. I’ll still be interested in seeing where exactly I’m at when the games do start.”

Sycamore’s Dylan Foster reacts after picking up three points during his 145-pound match Tuesday against Yorkville’s Bryce Shewan (not pictured) at the IHSA Class 2A Rochelle Dual Team Sectional.

Swick’s win put Spartans up by 5 • SPARTANS Continued from page B1 Swick pulled out a 6-2 win by decision to put the Spartans up by five. After Malone gutted out a 4-3 loss to Schillinger, the Spartans were on their way back to team state. “That was probably the best match I’ve watched [Swick] wrestle all year,” coach Alex Nelson said. “There were some situations there that definitely
put them on the edge of your seat … That’s how big duals are, you get wins from kids where it maybe isn’t expected.” Of course, plenty of other Spartans played a large hand in the win. Sycamore’s three pins to Yorkville’s one made for a two-point gap. At 145-pounds, Dylan Foster pulled out a late, 7-3 decision. Colton Burns also won in the 132-pound division and 220-pounder Marty Malone was victorious with a 10-5 decision.
All four wrestlers who won by decision missed qualifying for the individual state meet just 10 days before. But all four can take solace in the fact they contributed to another Sycamore state berth. “I knew I had this coming up, so I knew I shouldn’t grieve over losing that, I knew I had to come back strong,” Swick said. “It’s huge. I knew [the state qualifiers] didn’t want it to be done, and I definitely didn’t want to be done, this being my senior year.”
Garcia leads Hiawatha with 14 points, Quimby with 12 • HAWKS Continued from page B1 The Hawks (5-19) exploited those defensive breakdowns. Junior point guard Pancho Garcia did the most damage, scoring 14 points and dishing seven assists as he began to penetrate Polo’s 2-3 zone. He finished off a doubledouble with 10 rebounds and four steals, and senior post Derek Ross also reeled off a double-double with 13 points,
14 rebounds, three blocks and two steals. “It was tough to come back being in such a deep hole,” Klein said, “but these kids played hard for me again. They’ve done that all year, and it means a lot to me as a first-year coach.” Dakotah Quimby hit four second-half 3-pointers and finished with 12 points, while Alex Flores scored nine points and Ed Canchola chipped in eight for Hiawatha.

Lover caught in tragedy or killer? By GERALD IMRAY and JON GAMBRELL The Associated Press

Darrell Wallace Jr. is the fourth black driver with a full-time ride in a NASCAR series.
NASCAR
Teen making history as 4th black driver By DAN GELSTON The Associated Press DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – With his Cannon 60D in hand, Darrell Wallace Jr. is a fixture at the track, eagerly snapping photos with an insider’s view of auto racing. His Instagram account is littered with dayin-the-life snapshots of cars and crews, all carrying the tag, “My crazy life captured in pictures.” Wallace, though, isn’t a typical 19-year-old NASCAR prospect trying to climb the ladder, and he’s less interested in a budding photography career. He is a pioneer of sorts as only the fourth black driver with a full-time ride in a NASCAR series. When Wallace takes the wheel for the Truck Series
race Friday at Daytona International Speedway, he’ll become a slice of NASCAR history in a race that ignites his goal of serving as a role model for a generation of potential future black drivers. “It’s kind of up to me,” Wallace said. “It’s kind of a huge weight.” Busting down racial barriers in a sport long reserved for whites is pretty heavy stuff for a teenager and all eyes are on him. Yet Wallace, the son of a white father and black mother, openly talks of becoming the Tiger Woods of NASCAR – the great black star who can transcend the sport and prove people of all colors can race. “You don’t have a role model. That’s why you don’t see anybody in it,” Wallace
said. “They can’t look up and be like, ‘I want to be like him because he’s the same color as me.’ There’s no one there to do that. I’m the top one right now and I’m only 19.” Wallace joins Wendell Scott, Willy T. Ribbs and Bill Lester as the only full-time black drivers in the 65-year history of NASCAR. Scott is the only black driver to win a race, way back in 1964. Wallace is signed with Joe Gibbs Racing and will drive the No. 54 Toyota for Kyle Busch Motorsports on Friday. Gibbs knows as well as anyone what it’s like to work with black athletes under the microscope. He coached the Washington Redskins when Doug Williams became the first black quarterback to win a Super Bowl in 1988. Gibbs

Wallace, raised in Concord, N.C., has the full support of the black drivers before him. Lester has sent him encouraging tweets. Wallace met some of Scott’s children at a race in Virginia. “They’re just happy to see someone following in their dad’s footsteps,” he said. “I’m hoping that I can carry that torch a little farther.” He’s in a better position to succeed than many other minorities over the years. He has sponsorship, a topflight team in JGR and is a graduate of NASCAR’s diversity program.
PRETORIA, South Africa – Oscar Pistorius portrayed himself as a lover caught in tragedy, wielding a pistol and frightened as he stood only on his stumps, then killed his girlfriend after mistaking her for an intruder on Valentine’s Day. Prosecutors, however, said the double-amputee Olympian committed premeditated murder, planning the slaying, then firing at Reeva Steenkamp as she cowered behind his locked bathroom door with no hope of escape. “She couldn’t go any where,” Prosecutor Gerrie Nel told a packed courtroom Tuesday. “It must have been horrific.” Weeping uncontrollably, Pistorius Oscar Pistorius listened as his words were read out in court by his attorney during the opening of a two-day bail hearing, his first public account of the events surrounding the shooting death of Steenkamp, a 29-yearold model and reality TV star who had spoken out against violence against women. “I fail to understand how I could be charged with murder, let alone premeditated murder, as I had no intention to kill my girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp,” Pistorius said in the sworn affidavit. “I deny the aforesaid allegation in the strongest terms.” It was the first time that the prosecution and Pistorius provided details of their radically divergent accounts of the killing, which has shocked South Africans and fans worldwide,
who idolized the 26-year-old track star known as the Blade Runner for overcoming his disability to compete in last summer’s London Olympics. Nel said Pistorius committed premeditated murder when he rose from his bed after a fight with Steenkamp, pulled on his prosthetic legs and walked about 20 feet from his bedroom to the locked toilet door and pumped it with four bullets, three of which hit the model. That contradicted the runner’s statement, read aloud by defense attorney Barry Roux, who described how the couple spent a quiet night together in the athlete’s upscale home in a gated community in the capital of Pretoria, then went to sleep around 10 p.m. Sometime before dawn, Pistorius said he awoke, and walking only on his stumps, pulled a fan in from an open balcony and closed it. That’s when he said he heard a noise and became alarmed because the bathroom window, which had no security bars, was open and workers had left ladders nearby. “I am acutely aware of violent crime being committed by intruders entering homes,” he said. “I have received death threats before. I have also been a victim of violence and of burglaries before. For that reason I kept my firearm, a 9 mm Parabellum, underneath my bed when I went to bed at night.” Too frightened to turn on a light, Pistorius said, he pulled out his pistol and headed for the bathroom, believing Steenkamp was still asleep “in the pitch dark” of the bedroom. It was then, Pistorius said, that he realized Steenkamp was not in bed.

ON OSCAR NIGHT, CELEBRATE HOLLYWOOD’S BEST STORYTELLERS WITH FILM’S FAVORITE FOOD By ELIZABETH KARMEL • The Associated Press
O
f all of the awards shows I love to watch (and I love to watch them all), the Oscars is my favorite. And it’s a great excuse to throw a party. Many of my friends do the “red carpet” thing for their own parties and ask guests to dress in their black-tie best. But I prefer watching in comfy clothes and snacking on simple but satisfying nibbles. After all, it’s a very long show. This year, the 85th Academy Awards air 6 p.m. Sunday on ABC, and for my viewing party, I am going to make popcorn the old-fashioned way – on the stovetop – and flavor the hot kernels three different ways. Everyone loves popcorn, and there is no other food that is so closely associated with movies. There are basically two ways to top popcorn – wet and dry. Let’s start with wet toppings, such as melted butter. Melted butter is always a crowd pleaser, but you have to make that version just before serving or else it gets soggy. Plus, buttered popcorn is always best hot. Other wet toppings, such as melted chocolate, should be applied to popcorn spread flat on a baking sheet, then al-
lowed to cool. Otherwise it becomes soggy. The advantage of dry flavor toppings is that you can make the popcorn a few hours in advance, then serve it room at temperature. Just make sure to add the spices while the popcorn is hot. My three favorites are truffle salt, Parmesan cheese and a INSIDE: Get more sweet and spicy barbecue rub. I find a good olive Oscar party menu oil gives the popcorn a great flavor and that you ideas on Page C2 won’t even want to add melted butter. As soon as the popcorn is popped, I toss the popcorn with the seasoning and continue to toss so that the steam doesn’t make the popcorn soggy. When the steam dissipates, I make sure I have enough flavoring and let it come to room temperature in the bowl. At this point you can place it in serving bowls or baskets or even individual paper bags to give your guests. And don’t forget to pair your gourmet popcorn with a flute of sparkling wine. The make the perfect high-low party combination.
Wet Toppings Be certain to spread the popcorn flat on a baking sheet before adding wet toppings, then let it set. • Melted chocolate • Melted chocolate and peanut butter • Melted caramels and a pinch of salt
Stovetop Popcorn Many Ways Start to finish: 10 minutes Servings: 1/2 cup corn kernels will produce about 12 cups popcorn 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil (depending on the size of the pot) 1/3 to 1/2 cup popcorn kernels (depending on the size of the pot) Fine-grain sea salt or other seasoned toppings Heat an empty cast-iron Dutch oven over low heat for 2 minutes. Add enough olive oil to the pot to thinly coat the entire bottom. Add a single layer of popcorn kernels. You want them to be touching but not more than one layer thick. Increase the heat to medium and place the lid on the pot. Wait until popping begins, then turn the heat down slightly. Shake the pot every 30 seconds or so. Start shaking a bit more when the popping starts to subside. When the kernels stop popping in unison and you only hear one pop every couple of seconds, it is done. Pour the popcorn into a large bowl. Season generously with the toppings listed below, or another one of your favorites. Toss the popcorn in the bowl and sprinkle with additional seasoning several times to make sure you have an even coating. Serve immediately or let cool.
Sweet Toppings
Dry Toppings
• Maple sugar and crispy bits of smoked bacon • Mini marshmallows, chocolate chips and chopped salted peanuts • Mini M&Ms, chopped roasted almonds and dried coconut
• Truffle salt • Barbecue rub • 1 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese • Ragin’ Cajun Spice mixture • Italian spice blend and finely grated Parmesan cheese • Lemon-pepper salt

Oscar entertaining made easy
Citrus bubbly (from left), Spiced Rose-Pomegranate Spritzer and Wild Meadow
Combine bases, spreads, toppings and garnishes for elegant canapes By ALISON LADMAN The Associated Press
C
anapes may sound stuffy, but they actually are the ultimate in ease when it comes to party food. Plus, they look great and can be combined in endless ways to suit any taste. So we created a simple formula for making canapes, dividing them into four components – bases, spreads, toppings and garnishes. For each canape, all you do is select one item from each category, then assemble. And the easiest way to assemble enough for a party is to set out all of your ingredients (clustered by category), then just start selecting and building. If you’re planning on an Oscars viewing party, you might even consider turning the making of the canapes into a preparty. Set out everything on the counter, pour some wine and invite a few guests to come early and help assemble (and sample, of course). And obviously don’t feel locked into the ingredients we’ve included in these categories. Head to the grocer and see what inspires you. For example, we include recipes for mixing your own spreads, but to simplify you could grab prepared tzatziki, hummus, flavored cream cheese or cheese spreads.

A healthy take on haute cuisine – blini and caviar Watching the Oscars, like the Super Bowl, has become almost an unofficial holiday, an occasion when tens of millions of us get together for an old-fashioned TV viewing party, complete with abundant food and drink. But the two events require rather different menus. The noshes on Super Bowl Sunday would be a tad too rustic for the refined experience of the Oscars. An Oscar party calls for slightly more elevated fare, and I can think of no hors d’oeuvres more appropriate than blini topped with caviar. Back during the early ‘80s, I worked at a restaurant in New York that served great buckwheat blini (basically, tiny savory pancakes) topped with osetra caviar and creme fraiche. The blini recipe was pretty involved, and not the healthiest choice. The batter called for both yeast (and the time it needed to do its job) and whipped cream. For my Oscars party, I wanted to develop a simpler, leaner version of that pancake, but I had a hard time finding buckwheat flour. Instead, I came up with a flavorful alternative using whole-wheat flour and buttermilk. All I had to do was adapt one of the zillion recipes for buttermilk pancakes made with white flour. Happily (if unsurprisingly), the whole-wheat flour
EVERYDAY DINNERS Sara Moulton made the blini taste subtly like wheat, which I prefer to the blandness of a white flour pancake. I also was happy to swap in buttermilk, which is low in fat, for the heavy cream we used to use. In combination with the baking powder and baking soda, the buttermilk made the little pancakes light and airy. Be forewarned, though, that this batter is thicker than your usual pancake batter. I managed to lighten it up when I was testing it by adding more buttermilk, but decided finally that doing so masked the taste of the wheat. So I kept it as is. By the way, be careful not to over-mix this batter; it’ll turn out tough. Better to take it easy; it’s OK if there are a few lumps in there. As for toppings, I decided more is better. The result is not simply a tasty little pancake, but a tasty little pancake topped with smoked trout (or smoked salmon, if you prefer), plus the caviar of your choice (though I’m partial to the color and pop of salmon roe), plus yogurt flavored with horseradish and lemon, and finally, at the summit, sprigs of fresh dill. You can serve these on a
platter, already assembled, or allow your guests to build their own perfect bites by wrapping the blini in a cloth to keep them warm, and serving them alongside little bowls of the toppings. By the end of the night, you might end up with an Oscar of your own.
Blini With Smoked Trout, Caviar And Horseradish Cream
Blini With Smoked Trout, Caviar And Horseradish Cream Start to finish: 35 minutes Makes 24 blini 3/4 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt 1 tablespoon bottled horseradish, drained 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon rind Kosher salt and ground black pepper 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda Pinch of salt Pinch of sugar 1 cup buttermilk 1 large egg, lightly beaten 2 tablespoons butter, melted (or vegetable oil) 3/4 cup flaked or chopped smoked trout or salmon 1/4 cup fresh dill sprigs or chopped fresh chives 2 ounces salmon roe (or the caviar of your choice) Heat the oven to 200 degrees F.

yogurt, horseradish, lemon rind and salt and pepper to taste. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together both flours, the baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar. In another medium bowl, combine the buttermilk, egg and butter. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until barely combined (it is OK to see a few lumps). The batter will be thick. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Coat the skillet with cooking spray and add the batter by level tablespoon amounts. Do
not crowd the pan. Let the blini cook until the bottoms are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook on the second side until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter. When all of the blini have been cooked and you are ready to serve, arrange them on a serving platter. Top each with some of the smoked trout, horseradish-yogurt blend, a dollop of caviar and fresh dill.

KC: February is Financial Aid Awareness Month Kishwaukee College Financial Aid Coordinator Pamela Wagener reminds everyone who is enrolled in college or plans to be a college student in the 2013-14 academic year that February is Financial Aid Awareness Month. The Financial Aid process begins with students filing a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) with the Department of Education’s Federal Student Aid Programs. The FAFSA asks for information on income for both the student and parents or just the student in situations that meet the criteria for independence. The FAFSA is available online at www.fafsa. gov. Students who will be attending college in the fall semester should be sure to complete the 2013-2014 FAFSA (not the 2012-2013 FAFSA). Families are encouraged to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool when completing the FAFSA. When selecting this tool, the FAFSA and IRS information is verified at the time of submitting the FAFSA. This will
ensure that accurate information is filed at the time of submission. This means that copies of tax returns will not be requested by financial aid offices and can make the awarding of financial aid easier and faster for students and their families. The Kishwaukee Education Consortium and Kishwaukee College will hold a FAFSA Submission Night from 6 to 8 p.m. Feb. 27 in Room A-225 at the Kishwaukee College Conference Center. During the event, parents/guardians can receive assistance in filling out the online FAFSA form. Participants will need to bring: the Federal Student Aid PIN (available at www.pin.ed.gov); parents’ and student’s social security numbers; student’s drivers license number; Alien Registration Number (if the student is not a U.S. citizen); Federal tax information; records of untaxed income; and estimated tax information from the 2011 tax return (if no 2011 return has been filed). Although Kishwaukee has a rolling deadline for submission of
8BRIEFS Sycamore schedules kindergarten registration Sycamore Community Unit School District 427 will hold 2013-14 kindergarten registration and screening from 2 to 6:40 p.m. March 20 at the child’s home school. Call the local school to schedule registration and screening time. For questions regarding what the elementary school boundaries are, call the office of the Transportation Department of Sycamore CUSD 427 at 815899-8106 or 815-899-8122. Children who will be 5 years old on or before Sept. 1 are eligible for kindergarten in August. Call the local school to schedule a registration and screening time: • North School – 815-899-8209 • Southeast School – 815-8998219 • West School – 815-899-8199 • South Prairie School – 815899-8299 • North Grove School – 815899-8124 When registering for the 2013-14 kindergarten school year, bring a certified copy of the child’s birth certificate – the copy issued by the county only – and the child’s social security card and number. Copies will be made at registration. Three proofs of residency also are required, such as utility bills, driver’s license, bank state-
ments, voter registration cards, etc. No fees will be collected at this time. Prior to the first day of kindergarten, each child will need a complete physical exam, vision and a dental exam. The required immunizations can be obtained at the DeKalb County Health Department for a nominal charge or at the child’s physician’s office. It is not too early to make these appointments. Physical, vision and dental forms will be furnished at registration. For any questions or to make the appointment for kindergarten registration and screening, call the home school at the numbers listed above.
Two DHS students named Merit finalists DeKalb High School seniors Eliya N. Baker and Allison K. Duffin have been named as finalists in the 2013 National Merit Scholarship competition. The National Merit Scholarship Program is an academic competition for recognition and scholarships that began in 1955. High school students enter the program by taking the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test and by meeting published program entry and participation requirements. Baker and Duffin are among 8,300 of the brightest students in the United States.

Financial Aid forms and documents, the earlier the FAFSA form is filed the more likely the financial aid package will be ready for the fall semester. Wagener said that her office is seeing a steady increase in applications for financial aid. Last year the State of Illinois Monetary Award Program (MAP Grant) was out of money by early spring; students who completed their FAFSA after March 14, 2012, could not receive a MAP Grant. Because of this, students are encouraged to complete the 2013-14 FAFSA as soon as possible to receive the MAP Grant, which is a tuition and fees scholarship for residents of Illinois to attend college in Illinois. The amount of state funding for this program for next academic year is not known at this time. However, additional funding is not expected. Filing a FAFSA also is the first step to determine eligibility for a variety of scholarships and grants available through the college. Kish College offers several types of
Achievement Awards. Academic Achievement Awards covering tuition and fees are available to area high school students in the top 25 percent of their class and will graduate in 2013. Athletic Achievement Awards are available to pay tuition and fees and/or books and are awarded by the coaches in each sport. Special Abilities Awards are tuition waivers available to KC students who show talent or skill in one of a variety of areas, including student leadership/government, forensics, journalism, and theater arts. There also are private grants and scholarships available exclusively to Kishwaukee students; most of these are administered through the Kishwaukee College Foundation. Information and applications can be found at www.kishfoundation.com. Eligibility for many of these awards begins with filing for financial aid. Wagener also alerts parents and students to the “$6 billion” myth. Each year, parents and students are told there is more than $6
billion worth of unused scholarship/ grant money available. Wagener dismisses this as not true and said the figure is arrived at by unscrupulous people adding together all available tuition waivers and employer benefits. Playing off the myth, parents and students are targets of many companies that offer to do scholarship searches for a fee. “Don’t pay someone else to do what you can do for free,” Wagener said in a news release. She suggests doing a web-based financial aid search or to use financial aid reference materials in the Kishwaukee College Library. For more information on the financial aid process and monies available from the federal government, state of Illinois, or from the private sector, call Kishwaukee College at 815-825-2086, ext. 2240, or visit the college website at www.kishwaukeecollege.edu.

Boyfriend’s x-rated experience still haunts Dear Abby: My boyfriend, “Doug” (24), and I (22) have been in a long-distance relationship for a year, but we were friends for a couple of years before that. I had never had a serious relationship before and lacked experience. Doug has not only been in two other long-term relationships, but has had sex with more than 15 women. One of them is an amateur porn actress. I knew about this, but it didn’t bother me until recently. Doug had a party, and while he was drunk he told one of his buddies – in front of me – that he should watch a certain porn film starring his ex-girlfriend. It made me feel awkward. The next day he apologized. Of course, having learned
DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips her name, I couldn’t help myself from searching for her on the Internet. Now I can’t stop comparing myself to her, and I feel intimidated and frustrated. I have been struggling with how to get over it. Doug has told me many times that he loves me and I believe him. But those stupid, drunken comments really knocked me down. How do I get over my boyfriend’s past? – Eclipsed By A “Star” in New York Dear Eclipsed: A giant step in the right direction would be to quit comparing your-
self to a porn actress. In his addled condition, your immature boyfriend couldn’t resist bragging to his buddies because he thought it would impress them with his prowess. If he had serious feelings about her, he would still be with her, not in a relationship with you. That said, it would be in your best interest to find out if this woman really was a “girlfriend” or one of his one-night stands. If he is in a long-distance relationship with you and tends to be promiscuous, you should be more concerned about his judgment than how to get over his past. Dear Abby: We have always purchased rather than leased our cars. One of them has
225,000 miles on the odometer and is running well. I have two friends who lease expensive foreign cars. Keeping the mileage down on their cars is important to them, especially when it comes time to return them at the end of the lease. Because of this, I find myself driving more often than I should. One friend attends a weekly meeting with me, and we’re supposed to take turns driving each other every other week. But somehow I end up at the wheel more often. I’d hate to start writing down our outings, but I’m beginning to feel used. While I respect their decision to lease expensive new cars, it is not my responsibility to keep their expenses down. Both of these women
are in a better financial position than I am, although we are all “comfortable.” Any ideas about how to approach this without seeming petty? It has been going on for a long while and is starting to bother me. – Driven Too Far in Long Beach, Calif. Dear Driven Too Far: If you feel that you are being taken advantage of, then you probably are. I recommend you wean these ladies off your chauffeur services by being less available when they need a ride. And if you are asked why, remind them of your original agreement to share the driving duties 50-50.

Jury still out on injections for sciatica pain Dear Dr. K: I have terrible pain from sciatica. Will epidural injections help? Dear Reader: I wish I had a definite and non-controversial answer. But as with so many areas of medicine, not every study of that question comes up with the same answer. Some say “yes” and some say “no” – for the average patient in the study. Sciatica is a persistent aching or burning pain felt along the sciatic nerve. The two sciatic nerves are the longest nerves in the body. They run from the lower back down through the buttocks and into each of the lower legs. The pain of sciatica can be severe. It can go away on its own, but for many people, sciatica is a chronic condition that keeps coming back.
ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve is pinched, irritated or injured. Inflammation, arthritis or a displaced disk in the lower spine are often to blame. (I’ve put an illustration showing the common causes of sciatica on my website.) Doctors commonly treat sciatica with epidural injections into the spine. (The word “epidural” refers to a particular area in the spine.) The injections contain a steroid, which reduces inflammation. The injections can also contain a long-lasting painkiller.
The different causes of sciatica may be one reason that studies come to different conclusions. If a person’s sciatica is caused by inflammation rather than by arthritis, it may be more successfully treated by steroids – since the main effect of steroids is to reduce inflammation. The best kind of study for any treatment procedure, like an injection of medicines, is a randomized trial that includes a sham procedure. In this kind of study, every person gets an injection but only some people, chosen at random, get an injection of the real medicine; the rest get just a placebo injected or nothing injected (a sham procedure). One recent study found that there was only a short-
term (one-month) relief of symptoms for most patients who got any relief (and not all did). Another large recent study analyzed results from 23 previous studies comparing steroid injections to placebo (sham) injections. They found that for some people, an epidural injection gave good relief from leg pain (but not back pain) for several months. But for most people, the benefit was quite small. In addition, the pain relief did not last; after one year, there was no difference in pain between the sham and treatment groups. Given the severity of your sciatica pain, it might be worth trying an epidural injection. But bear in mind that this treatment may offer
only a small and short-lasting benefit. In addition, you may have heard of the recent national outbreak of meningitis that was caused by epidural injections of steroids that were contaminated with fungus. This was a very unusual, but very serious, complication of the treatment. Some people might have had only brief or no pain relief. For them, the treatment was worse than the disease. Talk to your doctor about whether simpler treatments such as exercises, physical therapy, compresses, painkilling medicines, chiropractic manipulation, massage, yoga or acupuncture might be worth considering.

A school, parent meeting should be arranged Dr. Wallace: I’m 16 and in the 11th grade. I’m not brilliant, but I’m told by my counselor that I have aboveaverage intelligence and should have little problem earning a college degree. Both of my parents are professionals. My father is a college professor, and my mother is an attorney. Both stress getting top grades. This semester I am getting two A’s and four B’s. I’m not a valedictorian candidate, but my grades are good, and I’m proud of them. I’m also a good softball player. I pitch and play centerfield. My parents, however, expect me to average four
’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace A’s and two B’s, so they are unhappy with my grades and are threatening to keep me off the team so I can spend more time on my studies. Even if I spent much more time studying, I doubt seriously that my B’s would become A’s. I would be crushed if they made me quit the team. How can I make my parents understand that I’m not a straight-A student? – Cindy, San Diego, Calif.
8ASTROGRAPH By BERNICE BEDE OSOL Newspaper Enterprise Association
TODAY – The course you’re presently steering looks to be good, with indications of a number of rewards waiting when you reach port. Be careful not to make any unwarranted changes, because then it would be another story. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Guard against a strong inclination to reward the undeserving while overlooking the virtuous. There’s a possibility you could do so in two separate cases. ARIES (March 21-April 19) – This could be a disconcerting day, because you can quickly go from being inspired to being disenchanted. Unless you get a handle on your moods, they’ll hamper you greatly. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – You could do yourself a great disservice by reacting impulsively and blindly allowing one of your hunches to direct your actions. Check things out first. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – If you’ve been borrowing things lately, such as tools, materials or even cash, it’s best to clear matters up by returning everything as soon as possible. You’ll feel better about yourself. CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Taken alone, your judgment isn’t too bad, but you must be careful not to be swayed by another who doesn’t have your best interest in mind. Don’t believe everything that you’re told. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Don’t be impatient if your fellow man doesn’t grasp the essence of an idea as quickly as you’d like. It won’t hurt you to repeat what isn’t understood at first. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Normally, you are an extremely prudent and pragmatic person, but today you could become intrigued with a financial affair that could be extremely risky. Tread slowly. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – When making a major household purchase, you should take things slowly. If you’re unsure about your choice, temporarily walk away and dismiss it from your mind until you’re positive. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – This could be one of those days when you could benefit from putting off what you don’t feel like doing, especially if it’s something extremely distasteful to you. Time will take care of it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Be extremely careful when handling the resources of another as well as your own. Indifference on your part could prove to be more costly than you thought. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Although you are usually a good salesperson, this might not be true at present due to carelessness. You could do or say something that would cause your prospect to back off. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – There is a strong likelihood that you could reveal something that you promised to keep secret. Keep a tight hold on your lips.
Cindy: I firmly believe that denying a child the opportunity to participate in a wholesome, school-sponsored activity is not an effective motivation. If you were failing a class, your parents might need to take drastic action, but doing so simply to raise your grade point average a few notches is arbitrary. If your mom and dad are adamant, you need to get some allies. I suggest that you discuss your dilemma with your school counselor and ask him or her to arrange a meeting with your parents, the counselor, you and your coach. Dr. Wallace: I’m a 15-year-

old girl and a pretty good kid. Don’t take me wrong; I’m not a “goody-goody,” but I’ve never been in trouble, and I’m not into drugs or alcohol. I’m not a sensational student, but I do carry a solid B average. I’ve got a boyfriend, but I spend more time with my three best girlfriends than I do with him. My problem is that my mother (my parents are divorced) doesn’t trust me at all. I’m always telling her the truth, but all she ever says is, “Do you think I was born yesterday?” or “That’s a bunch of bull. You were out with your boyfriend.” When I told her that she never trusts me,
she said that parents are not supposed to trust their kids. How do you feel about this? – Kim, Phoenix, Ariz. Kim: I believe parents should trust their child until the child betrays (if ever) that trust. When a parent consistently refuses to believe a child, the child, in many cases, reverts to telling lies. Basically, the child has nothing to lose.

8CROSSWORD
BRIDGE Phillip Alder
Patience is hard to practice Napoleon Hill, who was one of the pioneers of personal-success literature, said, “Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success.” At the bridge table, patience and persistence are excellent. If you are perspiring, the airconditioning or heating system must be on the blink. How is patience a virtue in this deal? South is in four hearts. West leads his singleton diamond. East overtakes with his ace and continues with the king, which South ruffs with the heart king. What happens after that? South made a textbook triple-jump overcall. North was not sure if game would make, but since it could have been laydown, he sensibly raised to four hearts. South has three aces to lose. To make his contract, he must not concede a second trump trick. Note that East’s winning the first trick with his ace and then leading the king were suit-preference signals for spades. What will happen depends on West’s patience. Since he knows East has the spade ace, there will be a temptation to overruff with the heart ace and shift to a spade. East will win with his ace and lead another diamond, but South will ruff high, draw trumps in two more rounds, and claim. West must be patient, discarding at trick two. South will continue with a high trump, but West wins and puts his partner on lead in spades. When East plays a diamond, it promotes a second trump trick for West. South has only two high trumps left, and West still holds the nine and the three.

NEW ORLEANS, La. – It was a hot and humid day in New Orleans, even though the calendar proved the year’s end was fast approaching. As an eleven-year-old California native, I was out of my element, yet excited as I approached the Mercedes Benz Superdome. For the next few hours I would serve as a sports reporter at a professional football game – the New Orleans Saints vs. the San Francisco 49ers. A quick elevator ride took me to the Press Box. It was an awesome view, perfect for seeing everything in the stadium. I quickly found my assigned seat and spotted the teams warming up on the field below. I was greeted by the PR Directors from both teams: Matt Ryan with the Saints and Bob Lange with SF. I quickly met
professional reporters from ESPN, NFL Network, and Yahoo Sports. Today I was not just a kid, I was their colleague. There was a nice lunch buffet for all holding a media credential. However, my nerves only allowed me to nibble on a few cookies and sip a soda. As game time approached, the excitement could be felt in the air. The home team appeared on the field running through a tunnel of smoke, while the visiting team walked on from the sidelines. The noise in the Superdome soon became deafening. This was an advantage for the Saints, but perhaps an obstacle for the 49ers. I could hardly hear myself think. As points were scored, the game became much more exciting. At halftime, burgers were added to the menu in the Press Box. By that time I was feeling more comfortable and able to enjoy the meal. Before I realized it, the 4th quarter was almost over. This is when all the reporters leave the Press Box and head down to the field and locker rooms. I was with them as we

Go to www.kidscoop.com to read his interviews with Saints safety Malcolm Jenkins and San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh.
As the 49ers were piling onto their buses, I met with their head coach, Jim Harbaugh. I could feel my heart in my throat as I forced out the words for each question. He balanced out my nerves with his calm and relaxed demeanor.
Leaving the Superdome, my dad and I headed to the French Quarter (downtown New Orleans) to take in the sights. My favorite was the St. Louis Cathedral. It is the oldest cathedral in North America. Next we sampled the world Jadon enjoys a tasty treat in New Orleans famous beignets – after the game. square pieces of fried dough, dusted with powdered sugar.
