Father fights for Compassion Fund NIU shooting victim’s dad, others to ask government to establish fund for families By JEFF ENGELHARDT jengelhardt@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Eric Mace finally feels like he can fight. After losing his daughter, Ryanne, five years ago in the fatal shooting at Northern Illinois University’s Cole Hall, Mace said it felt like someone had beat him down before he
ever knew he was in a fight. Left with angry energy, Mace said he resisted the temptation to focus that energy on negatives and now is ready to focus it on helping the countless families victimized by similar tragedies. Mace and a group of 64 families affected by the tragedies at NIU, Sandy Hook,
Columbine, the World Trade Center and many others have come together to ask the federal government to establish a National Compassion Fund that would guarantee money donated to victims goes to the victims. “Fundraising happens almost immediately after these tragedies, and you realize lat-
er things happen out of your control,” Mace said. While Mace said he does not believe any financial misdirection occurred in the NIU tragedy, he knows victims of Sandy Hook, the Aurora, Colo., movie theater shooting and 9/11 never received hundreds of millions donated for them.
Caryn Kaufman, spokeswoman for the national group, said in many cases nonprofit organizations, such as, United Way keep some of the money to pay for administrative costs. The rest of the money can go toward grants, memorials and other larger

Quinn skeptical of gaming expansion
Messages of Easter Area marks holiday with church, family
By SOPHIA TAREEN The Associated Press CHICAGO – Lawmakers pushing to expand gambling in Illinois hope the third time is a charm with a more finely tuned proposal that could make Illinois the fourth state to allow Internet gaming. The latest proposal includes some familiar ideas: five new casinos, including one in Chicago; thousands of slot machines, including at Chicago’s two airports. But it also includes Internet gambling, which would allow Illinois residents to play games like black jack on their computers or smart phones. The biggest obstacle to adding more casinos and slot machines in Illinois has been Gov. Pat Quinn, who has twice rejected proposals sent to his desk, citing a lack of ethical safeguards, regulation and oversight. Lately, the Chicago Democrat has signaled that he’s open to the idea, even mentioning it in his March budget speech. And the new bill addresses some of Quinn’s concerns by including a ban on political contributions from the gambling industry, appointing an inspector general to monitor gaming and giving the state gaming board more authority over a Chicago casino. “The stars are probably lining up better than they’ve ever lined up,” said Sen. Terry Link, a Waukegan Democrat who’s a lead sponsor of the legislation. “We’re doing a lot of the things that the governor wanted.” But the new proposals still could be held up because of the state’s focus on fixing its nearly $100 billion pension problem – which Quinn has said must be the higher priority. There’s also the governor’s skepticism of so-called “iGaming,” which the bill’s supporters

eKALB – Dan Wynard wasn’t surprised by the top 10 Google News stories for 2012. The pastor of Bethlehem Evangelical Lutheran Church in DeKalb said he wasn’t fazed by the fact that eight of the 10 stories – ranging from Hurricane Sandy and the Newtown shootings to the Penn State sex abuse scandal – dealt with the worst of humanity. “It’s not hard to come to the conclusion that something’s not right,” Wynard said to the churchgoers who came out to Sunday’s Easter service. “We’ve become desensitized to violence and sex that this barely registers a glimpse to us.” Christians in the United States and around the world flocked to churches to mark Easter. Wynard compared the news people receive about tragedies to the Apostles hearing news that Jesus rose from the dead. But they were not all worried, the pastor said. “A few of them dared to be believe,” Wynard said. “Later on that day, their hopes would be confirmed.” For Sycamore resident Don Davidson, Wynard’s message about Easter and what it means resonated loudly. “It makes us sit back and think about things,” Davidson said. Pastor Lauri Allen at Peace United Church of Christ in Genoa said her Easter sermon was an extension of the lessons the Apostle Paul wrote about it. “Take away the distractions and look at the qualities we should have in our lives,” Allen said. Focusing on qualities such as loving, fair, grateful and humility resonates today, she added.

Pope makes Easter pleas for peace By FRANCES D’EMILIO The Associated Press VATICAN CITY – Pope Francis marked Christianity’s most joyous day with a passionate plea for world peace, celebrating his first Easter Sunday as pontiff in the enthusiastic company of more than 250,000 people who overflowed from St. Peter’s Square. With eloquent words in his Easter message, Francis lamented enduring conflicts in the Middle East, on the Korean peninsula and elsewhere and remembered the world’s neediest people. With physical gestures, he illustrated the personal, down-to-earth caring he brings as a pastor to this new papacy – cradling a disabled child held out to him in the crowd and delightedly accepting a surprise gift thrust at him. Francis shared in his flock’s exuberance as they celebrated Christianity’s core belief that Jesus Christ rose from the dead following crucifixion. After Mass in flower-bedecked St. Peter’s Square, he stepped aboard an open-topped white popemobile for a cheerful spin through pathways in the joyous crowd, kissing babies, smiling constantly and patting children on the head. One admirer of both the pope and his favorite soccer team from his Argen-

Finally, a delighted Francis obliged, briefly holding up the shirt, and the crowd roared in approval. He handed the shirt to an aide in the front seat, and the popemobile contin-
ued its whirl through the square. In a poignant moment, Francis cradled and kissed a physically disabled boy passed to him from the crowd. The child worked hard to make one of his arms hug the pope back, then succeeded, smiling in satisfaction as the pope patiently waited for the boy to give his greeting.
Kevin Schaeffer Principal at architecture and design irm Gensler er has gone so far as to ban working from home, and many more offer prodigious incentives for coming in to the office, such as free meals, massages and gyms. This spring, as the tech industry is soaring out of the Great Recession, plans are in the works for a flurry of massive, perk-laden headquarters. “We’re seeing the mature technology companies try-
ing to energize their work environments, getting rid of cube farms and investing in facilities to compete for talent,” said Kevin Schaeffer, a principal at architecture and design firm Gensler in San Jose. “That’s caused a huge transition in the way offices are laid out.” New Silicon Valley headquarters or expansions are under way at most of the area’s major firms, includ-
ing eBay, Intel, LinkedIn, Microsoft, Netflix, Nvidia and Oracle. Many will be huge: Apple Corp.’s 176-acre campus will be one of the world’s largest workplaces. On the outside, many of the new buildings boast striking architectural designs and will collectively be among the most environmentally friendly in the country. Inside, there are walls you can draw on, ping pong tables, Lego stations, gaming arcades and free haircuts. Critics say that while some workplace perks and benefits are a good thing, the large, multibillion dollar corporate headquarters are colossal wastes of money that snub the pioneering technology these firms actually create.

Easter Bunny visits Waterman By ANDREA AZZO news@daily-chronicle.com Pete Robinson says Walt Disney is his idol, and he’s worked to emulate him by offering families a chance to enjoy free, fun activities. Robinson, who built and runs a half-mile train track in Waterman, offered free train rides to the public all day Saturday. People also had a chance to take pictures with the Easter Bunny. Waterman & Western Railroad is one of the only places in DeKalb County where people can enjoy recreational train rides. The nearest one that’s the same size is in Aurora, Robinson said. Robinson’s wife Charleen, owner of Waterman & Western Railroad, said they offer free rides only for Easter and Christmas. “I don’t want anybody’s little kid not to experience something like this because their parents don’t have a dollar,” Robinson said. It took Robinson and other workers 35 days to build the tracks in Waterman, giving new meaning to the song “I’ve Been Working on the Railroad.” Pete also built a handicap accessible ramp last year, which helped 8-year-old Joey Marino of Hinckley, who has cerebral palsy. “They treated him like a

Myric Moore, 3, of Cortland gives the Easter Bunny a high-five Saturday at the Waterman & Western Railroad. king here,” father Ken Marino said about Joey. “[Pete’s] feeling blessed about it, but he’s blessing others.” Marino was among dozens of people who showed up for the free train ride the day before Easter Sunday. The Robinsons and the Easter Bunny passed out 1,000 plastic eggs filled with jelly beans and chocolate. Two trains ran throughout the day. Each train traveled in a big circle, passing through a castle-like tunnel. One trip around the track lasts seven minutes, Robinson said. During the ride, the chilly wind bit at Erik Wold of Sheridan when he was on the train with his two sons. However, it still was warmer than when he rode the trains
with his sons on Christmas. Wold said his sons love trains. “It was hard to get them off [the train ride],” he said. “We might have to ride it one more time.” That’s exactly the kind of experience Robinson wants everyone to have. Robinson was 5 years old when his parents first took him to Kiddieland. That’s when he first fell in love with trains. Train-riding also is an activity generations of families can do together. Charleen Robinson said that when they first built the handicap ramp, an elderly woman was the first to hop on. “She just sat there and cried because she finally got
to sit there with her grandkids,” Charleen Robinson said. Norm Busch of DeKalb rode the train with his two nephews, Brock and Heath. “I go where the family goes,” Busch said while holding one of his nephews in his arms. “It’s considerably cheaper [coming here] than buying [a train] ... maybe if I make it filthy stinkin’ rich, I’ll buy one.” The trains can go as fast as 40 miles per hour, said engineer Shawn Batka. However, the conductor is only allowed to travel up to 13 mph. No matter how fast the train was going, Pete Robinson made sure to talk to people between rides. He mostly talked to the Marino family. Joey Marino was the fourth rider when Pete Robinson built the handicap ramp, his mother Sally said. It was their third time at the Waterman & Western Railroad. Pete Robinson said his favorite part is helping those like Joey because he realizes how special it is to them. Joey Marino rode the train twice that day, and he was smiling almost the entire time. “Everybody’s got a hobby,” Pete Robinson said. “Some people have boats, some have cottages in Wisconsin. We have a train, and we share it with the world.”
Five vie for spots on Shabbona board By DAVID THOMAS dthomas@shawmedia.com SHABBONA – Among the five candidates for the Shabbona Village Board, there is at least one who believes the village is on the verge of a renaissance. Current village trustees Alfred Aspengren, Pat McCormick and Susan Cox are seeking re-election to the board, while Jamie Deutsch and Frank Ottengheime are hoping that the voters let them get a seat at the table. The five are competing for three spots that have a fouryear term. Another trustee, Ada Gallagher, is running unopposed for a two-year term. Aspengren said the fate of the village lies in its ability to connect with nearby Shabbona State Park. He described the park and its lake as being an undiscovered asset in DeKalb County,
and he wants the place a destination for urban residents. “Our problem now is that young people go to excellent schools and leave town,” As-
pengren said. “They leave town because there are no jobs here.” The Village Board is exploring creating a bicycle/ walk path that would connect it with the park. Neither Aspengren nor Cox said they would support using village money to build the path. “I don’t see how the village could ever afford something like that,” Cox said. Village President Claudia Hicks, who is not up for re-election, said money is the big issue facing Shabbona. Hicks described herself as being a conservative in terms of spending. “I don’t believe in doing things we can’t afford, and not being able to afford them later,” Hicks said. Both Aspengren and Cox said they are open to creating a tax increment financing district in Shabbona. This special tax mecha-
nism limits the property taxes municipalities and other local governments receive and deposits them into a special account. Property taxes still can rise, but the increment – or how much the property value has grown since the district was created – is used for private and sometimes public development in the district. Aspengren said tax increment financing would help businesses start up in the area. Cox said she would be in favor of it so as long as it would not be a financial burden for Shabbona. What the Village Board accomplishes will be largely determined by its financial state, Hicks said. “Money is the big issue right now,” Hicks said. “Everybody’s facing the same thing. The lack of.” Efforts to contact McCormick, Deutsch and Ottengheime were not successful.

Texas DA, wife slain in his home
Uneasy calm in Kenya after court ruling on vote NAIROBI, Kenya – Kenyan police deployed forces Sunday in the capital and the lakeside city of Kisumu to contain the continuing threat of violence after five people were killed in riots Saturday, officials said, but the country remained mostly peaceful after a court upheld Uhuru Kenyatta’s election as president. Rowdy youths in Nairobi’s slums still were trying to protest the Supreme Court’s ruling against Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s challenge to the validity of Kenyatta’s win, Nairobi police officials said Sunday. At least three people rioting in Nairobi’s Dandora slum were shot dead by police on Saturday, police said, bringing to five the number of people killed in postelection violence since the court’s verdict was given on Saturday. Two people were killed and five seriously injured Saturday in riots in Kisumu, Odinga’s hometown, said Ole Metito, police chief for Nyanza province.
U.S. airship crash recalled 80 years later LAKEHURST, N.J. – History buffs will gather this week near the New Jersey coast to commemorate a major airship disaster. No, not that one. Newsreel footage and radio announcer Herbert Morrison’s plaintive cry, “Oh, the humanity!” made the 1937 explosion of the Hindenburg at the Lakehurst Naval Air Station probably the best-known crash of an airship. But just four years earlier, a U.S. Navy airship seemingly jinxed from the start and later celebrated in song crashed only about 40 miles away, claiming more than twice as many lives. The USS Akron, a 785-foot dirigible, was in its third year of flight when a violent storm sent it plunging tail-first into the Atlantic Ocean shortly after midnight on April 4, 1933. “No broadcasters, no photographers, no big balls of fire, so who knew?” said Nick Rakoncza, a member of the Navy Lakehurst Historical Society. “Everybody thinks that the Hindenburg was the world’s greatest [airship] disaster. It was not.”
‘G.I. Joe’ commands No. 1 at box office with $41M LOS ANGELES – After a ninemonth delay, “G.I. Joe: Retaliation” deployed to the top spot at the box office. The action film starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Bruce Willis and Channing Tatum as the gun-toting military toys brought to life marched into the No. 1 position at the weekend box office, earning $41.2 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. “Retaliation” opened Wednesday at midnight, which helped bring its domestic total to $51.7 million. Paramount postponed the sequel to 2009’s “G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra” last May from its original June opening date to convert the film to 3-D.
Islamic extremists attack Timbuktu in north Mali BAMAKO, Mali – Timbuktu has been hit by a prolonged battle between Islamic extremists and the Malian and French armies, residents and a Malian military spokesman said Sunday. Fighters linked to al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, or AQIM, attacked the city in northern Mali late Saturday night and have continued fighting Sunday, said Capt. Samba Coulibaly, spokesman for the Malian military in Timbuktu. The attack started Saturday night at about 10 p.m. local time when a jihadist suicide bomber blew himself up at a Malian military checkpoint at the western entrance to Timbuktu, he said.

Kris Kitko leads a protest at an abortion-rights rally March 25 at the state Capitol in Bismarck, N.D. Rival legal teams, each well-financed and highly motivated, are girding for high-stakes court battles over the coming months on laws enacted in Arkansas and North Dakota that would impose the nation’s toughest bans on abortion.
Rivals to battle over abortion By DAVID CRARY The Associated Press Rival legal teams, wellfinanced and highly motivated, are girding for court battles over the coming months on laws enacted in Arkansas and North Dakota that would impose the nation’s toughest bans on abortion. For all their differences, attorneys for the two states and the abortion-rights supporters opposing them agree on this: The laws represent an unprecedented frontal assault on the Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that established a nationwide right to abortion. The Arkansas law, approved March 6 when legislators overrode a veto by Dem-
ocratic Gov. Mike Beebe, would ban most abortions from the 12th week of pregnancy onward. On March 26, North Dakota went further, with Republican Gov. Jack Dalrymple signing a measure that would ban abortions as early as six weeks into a pregnancy, when a fetal heartbeat can first be detected and before some women even know they’re pregnant. Abortion-rights advocates plan to challenge both measures, contending they are unconstitutional violations of the Roe ruling that legalized abortion until a fetus could viably survive outside the womb. A fetus is generally considered viable at 22 to 24 weeks. “I think they’re going to
be blocked immediately by the courts – they are so far outside the clear bounds of what the Supreme Court has said for 40 years,” said Nancy Northup, president of the Center for Reproductive Rights. The center will be leading the North Dakota legal challenge and working in Arkansas alongside the American Civil Liberties Union’s state and national offices. Both Northup and ACLU lawyers say they have ample resources to wage the battles, and they expect victories that would require their attorneys’ fees to be paid by two states. Dalrymple, in signing the ban, acknowledged that its chances of surviving a court challenge were question-
able, but said it was worth the eventual price tag – at this point unknown – in order to test the boundaries of Roe. North Dakota’s attorney general, Wayne Stenehjem, initially said lawyers from his office would defend any lawsuits but is now considering hiring outside help. His office is working on a cost estimate for the litigation that could be presented to lawmakers soon. “We’re looking at a sufficient amount to adequately defend these enactments,” Stenehjem said. A lead sponsor of the Arkansas ban, Republican state Sen. Jason Rapert, said threats of lawsuits “should not prevent someone from doing what is right.”
Senators: Immigration deal not final By PHILIP ELLIOTT The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Even with one of the largest hurdles to an immigration overhaul overcome, optimistic lawmakers Sunday cautioned they had not finished work on a bill that would provide a path to citizenship for 11 million illegal immigrants. The AFL-CIO and the pro-business U.S. Chamber of Commerce reached a deal late Friday that would allow tens of thousands of low-skill workers into the country to fill jobs in construction, restaurants and hotels. Yet despite the unusual agreement between the two powerful lobbying groups, lawmakers from both parties conceded
that the negotiations were not finished. “With the agreement b e t w e e n business and labor, every major policy issue has been re- Sen. Marco solved,” said Rubio Sen. Chuck Schumer, the New York Democrat who brokered the laborbusiness deal. But i t Sen. Chuck hasn’t taken Schumer the form of a bill and the eight senators searching for a compromise haven’t met about the potential breakthrough.
“We haven’t signed off,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. “There are a few details yet. But conceptually, we have an agreement between business and labor, between ourselves that has to be drafted,” he added. Yet just before lawmakers began appearing on Sunday shows, Sen. Marco Rubio warned he was not ready to lend his name – and political clout – to such a deal without hashing out the details. “Reports that the bipartisan group of eight senators have agreed on a legislative proposal are premature,” said Rubio, a Florida Republican who is among the lawmakers working on legislation.
Rubio, a Cuban-American who is weighing a presidential bid in 2016, is a leading figure inside his party. Lawmakers will be closely watching any deal for his approval and his skepticism about the process did little to encourage optimism. Rubio, who is the group’s emissary to conservatives, called the agreement “a starting point” but said 92 senators from 43 states haven’t yet been involved in the process. The detente between the nation’s leading labor federation and the powerful business lobbying group still needs senators’ approval, including a nod from Sen. John McCain, the Arizona Republican whose previous efforts came up short.
Studies help craft health overhaul pitch The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – How do you convince millions of average Americans that one of the most complex and controversial programs devised by government may actually be a good deal for them? With the nation still split over President Barack Obama’s health care law, the administration has turned to the science of mass marketing for help in understanding the lives of uninsured people, hoping to craft winning pitches for a surprisingly varied group in society. The law’s supporters will have to make the sale in the run-up to an election – the 2014 midterms. Already Republicans are hoping for an “Obamacare” flop that helps them gain control of the Senate, while Democrats are eager for the public to finally embrace the Affordable Care Act, bringing political deliverance. It turns out America’s more than 48 million unin-

Senate Minority Leader, Republican Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, points to a 7-foot stack of “Obamacare” regulations to underscore his disdain March 15 during the 40th annual Conservative Political Action Conference in National Harbor, Md. sured people are no monolithic mass. A marketing analysis posted online by the federal Health and Human Services Department reveals six distinct groups, three of which appear critical to the success or failure of the program. They’re the “Healthy &
Young,” comprising 48 percent of the uninsured, the “Sick, Active & Worried,” (29 percent of the uninsured), and the “Passive & Unengaged” (15 percent). The Healthy & Young take good health for granted, are tech-savvy, and have “low motivation to enroll.”
The Sick, Active & Worried are mostly Generation X and baby boomers, active seekers of health care information and worried about costs. The Passive & Unengaged group is mostly 49 and older, “lives for today,” and doesn’t understand much about health insurance. The challenge for the administration is obvious: signing up lots of the Healthy & Young, as well as the Passive & Unengaged, to offset the higher costs of covering the sick and worried. Uninsured middle-class Americans will be able to sign up for subsidized private health plans through new insurance markets in their states starting Oct.1. Low-income uninsured people will be steered to safety net programs like Medicaid. “The goal here is to get as many people enrolled as possible,” Gary Cohen, the HHS official overseeing the rollout of the law, told insurers at a recent industry conference.
KAUFMAN, Texas – Kaufman County District Attorney Mike McLelland took no chances after one of his assistant prosecutors was gunned down two months ago. McLelland said he carried a gun everywhere he went and was extra careful when answering the door at his home. “I’m ahead Mike of everybody McLelland else because, basically, I’m a soldier,” the 23-year Army veteran said in an interview less than two weeks ago. On Saturday, he and his wife were found shot to death in their rural home just outside the town of Forney, about 20 miles from Dallas. While investigators gave no motive for the killings, Forney Mayor Darren Rozell said: “It appears this was not a random act.” “Everybody’s a little on edge and a little shocked,” he said. The slayings came less than two weeks after Colorado’s prison chief was shot to death at his front door, apparently by an ex-convict, and a couple of months after Kaufman County Assistant District Attorney Mark Hasse was killed in a parking lot a block from his courthouse office. No arrests have been made in Hasse’s slaying Jan. 31. McLelland, 63, is the 13th prosecutor killed in the U.S. since the National Association of District Attorneys began keeping count in the 1960s.
Caribbean nations search for oil amid spill fears By DAVID McFADDEN The Associated Press KINGSTON, Jamaica – The turquoise waters that have long brought treasure seekers to the Caribbean now are drawing a new kind of explorer as countries across the region increasingly open their seas to oil exploration. From the Bahamas and Cuba down to Aruba and Suriname, international oil companies are lining up to locate potentially rich offshore deposits in the Caribbean. The countries hope drilling could lead to a black-gold bonanza, easing demand for imported oil and diversifying their economies. It’s a longstanding dream for many. As the Dominican songwriter Juan Luis Guerra once sang, “If petroleum sprang from here, oh but there would be light and hope.” So far, the twin-island nation of Trinidad & Tobago is the only major hydrocarbons producer in the Caribbean, and its waters are crowded with offshore platforms. The country sits just about seven miles off the coast of Venezuela, which has the world’s largest proven oil reserves. It’s pushing hard into deepwater drilling and has signed production-sharing contracts with British oil company BP for new exploration blocks. A growing number of other Caribbean nations also are authorizing or at least aggressively pursuing offshore exploration. The Bahamas recently announced it would try offshore exploratory drilling and said it should have enough information by late 2014 to decide whether it can move forward with production.

Three killed in 95-vehicle pileup at Virginia-N.C. line GALAX, Va. – Nearly 100 vehicles crashed Sunday along a mountainous, foggy stretch of interstate near the VirginiaNorth Carolina border, killing three people and injuring 25 others. Police said traffic along Interstate 77 in southwest Virginia backed up for about 8 miles in the southbound lanes after the accidents. Authorities closed the northbound lanes so that fire trucks, ambulances and police could get to the series of chain-reaction wrecks. Virginia State Police determined there were 17 separate crashes involving 95 vehicles within a mile span near the base of Fancy Gap Mountain, spokeswoman Corinne Geller said. The crashes began about 1:15 p.m. Sunday when there was heavy fog in the area.

Fund would give money directly to victims
Afghan leader to discuss peace talks
• FUND Continued from page A1 community needs but not a select group of individuals because of federal guidelines, she said. “If they want to build a memorial, that’s a beautiful thing and there is nothing wrong with giving your money to that,” Kaufman said. “What shouldn’t happen is you give your money thinking it’s going to victims and it ends up with a nonprofit who can’t do that.” The group’s proposal would set up a mechanism so when a national tragedy strikes people can donate to a fund that would distribute money directly to victims. The fund would be supervised by the federal government and act as a 501c3 in that donations would be tax deductible and money received by victims would be counted as a gift and not income. She said the group created a template as to how the money could be distributed based on if someone lost an immediate family member, was hospitalized for multiple days or was a first responder, but those details could be discussed further. “This is all meant to be a starting point for a discussion,” Kaufman said. “There is a way to do this better. There is a way to do this smarter.” Joe Dubowski, who also lost his daughter, Gayle, in the NIU shooting, said the proposed fund would be a victory for victims and donors. He said when tragedy strikes, the public wants to help as quickly as possible and makes donations in good faith. Meanwhile, victims are unprepared for the wave of emotions, responsibilities and activity that follows. “You want to make sure you are protecting the people who are giving from getting taken advantage of and you want to keep people from profitting from the misfortune of others,” Dubowski said. Mace said it is impossible to know what the victims of Sandy Hook and Aurora, Colo., are going through because of scrutiny and campaigning around both situations. But he said he knows those families were taken advantage of and should not have to fight for what people selflessly gave to them. Instead, Mace will fight for them. “It’s time to walk the walk with the talk I’ve always had,” Mace said. “This is a very exclusive club that no one wants to join, but we take care of our own. There was a lot of outpouring and support for me, and there is no reason I shouldn’t do that for someone else.”
By ABDULLAH REBHY The Associated Press DOHA, Qatar – Afghan President Hamid Karzai met with the emir of Qatar in Doha on Sunday to discuss the possible opening of a Taliban office in the Gulf state. The move could foster peace negotiations with the Islamic fundamentalist movement in a bid to stem violence as foreign combat forces prepare to withdraw from Afghanistan by the end of 2014. The Qatar News Agency said Karzai met with the emir, Sheik Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, and other senior government officials on Sunday. He also held
talks with Qatar’s ambassador to Pakistan during a tour of an Islamic art museum in Doha. The report didn’t give details, but Afghan Foreign Ministry spokesman Janan Mosazai has said the talks would include the peace process and the opening of a Taliban office. Karzai’s office said he also met with Qatari businessmen and Afghan businessmen living in Qatar on Saturday, the start of the two-day trip, to encourage investment in his struggling country. He said there are many opportunities in the mining industry as well as energy, power, tourism, hotels and
banks. Afghanistan already has agreed the Taliban can open an office in the Gulf state if the group breaks all ties with al-Qaida and renounces terrorism. Talks will be led by the High Peace Council, a group of influential Afghans that also includes former Taliban. “The position of the Afghan government for the Taliban to open an office in Qatar is very clear. They should stop their relations with al-Qaida and terrorists and show their readiness for direct negotiations with the Afghan government,” Mosazai said. Despite Karzai’s desire to hold talks with the Tali-
ban, and Qatar’s agreement for them to open an office in Doha, the insurgents have not yet accepted the offer. The Taliban have long refused to speak directly with Karzai or his government, which they view as a puppet of foreign powers. They have said they will negotiate only with the United States, which has in the past held secret talks with them in Qatar. But at Karzai’s insistence, the U.S. has since sought to have the insurgents speak directly with the Afghan government. Taliban representatives have had back-channel discussions and private meetings with representatives from various countries.
South Africa: Mandela in hospital on Easter The ASSOCIATED PRESS JOHANNESBURG – Former South African President Nelson Mandela had a restful day in a hospital Sunday and is improving following treatment for a recurrence of pneumonia, the government said. The office of President Jacob Zuma thanked South Africans who prayed for 94-year-old Mandela at Easter church services this weekend, as well as people at home and around the world who showed their “love and support in various ways” for the anti-apartheid leader and his family. “We also thank foreign governments for their mes-
sages of support,” Zuma’s office said in a statement. The government “is satisfied that the doctors are providing the former president with the best medical care possible to enable his recovery and comfort. They have reported a further improvement in his condition,” the statement Nelson said. M a n d e l a Mandela was admitted to a Pretoria hospital near midnight Wednesday. It was his third trip to a hospital since December, when he was treated for a
lung infection and also had a procedure to remove gallstones. Earlier in March, he spent a night in a hospital for what officials said was a scheduled medical test. “The whole world must come together and pray for him,” Zacheus Phakathi, a security guard, said Sunday at an outdoor service on a hill overlooking Johannesburg. In Pretoria, the capital, Henry Hyar, a restaurant waiter, standing by a hospital where Mandela is believed to be, said it was unfortunate that Mandela could not be with his family at home during Easter. “I’m not happy about it,”
Hyar said. “We’re praying for him to get better as soon as possible.” On Saturday, Zuma’s office reported that Mandela was breathing without difficulty after having a procedure to clear fluid in his lung area. Mandela became South Africa’s first black president in 1994 after elections were held, bringing an end to the system of white racist rule known as apartheid. After his release from prison in 1990, Mandela was widely credited with averting even greater bloodshed by helping the country in the transition to democratic rule.
For some, Easter weekend marked by family reunions • EASTER Continued from page A1 During his sermon at Westminster Presbyterian Church in DeKalb, Pastor Blake Richter shared his insights from his congregation’s trip to Jerusalem. They visited the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, which many Christians believe is the site of the resurrection of Jesus. Richter commented on the church itself, which had been destroyed and rebuilt numerous times since its initial construction in the fourth century. Richter said the architecture of the church, which he described as messy, sometimes reflected the nature of the religion. “There are disagreements, and they can be quite strong, but they are all built around a common core that cannot be crushed,” Richter said. Steven Johnson, 65, of DeKalb was one of the people who joined Richter on the trip. “It brings extra meaning to the day,” Johnson said, who added that he always attends the sunrise service at Westminster Presbyterian Church. Jeanette Biava, 55, of
DeKalb, said it was her first time at the sunrise service. She said she always finds Richter’s sermons to be meaningful and relatable. And she was very excited for Easter. “It’s a holy spiritual day for me,” Biava said. “Christ has risen and saved from our sins. It’s a joyful day for me.” For some people, the Easter weekend is marked by family reunions. That was the case for Davidson, 78, who spent time with his children that came down from Minnesota on Saturday. The fact that his uncle from South Carolina was returning to the DeKalb area was a great motivator for A.J. Metzler and his sister Katherine to also come home for Easter. Metzler is studying mechanical engineering at University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign while his sister attends Illinois State University. His family attended Wynard’s service. Metzler emphasized the importance of the family, both in a personal setting and in regards to the church. “It’s a family,” Metzler said about his faith. “We’re hear to support each other. ... It’s what being a Christian is about.”

say might be an option to help fix the state’s financial problems. “There hasn’t been much review on that at all,” Quinn told reporters last week. “Any time you have something brand new, it shouldn’t just be thrown into a bill at the last minute.” However, other prominent Democrats point out that it isn’t a new idea, and say Illinois already has been a national leader. When Illinois became the first state to sell lottery tickets online last year, Senate President John Cullerton introduced legislation that would create a Division of Internet Gaming within Gov. Pat the state lot- Quinn tery. Under his proposal, that new division would have made Illinois the first state to jump into the world of online Sen. Terry Link gambling. But that proposal didn’t get much traction, and three states – Delaware, Nevada and New Jersey – since have legalized Internet gambling, although none has it up and running. The process in those states also was fraught with questions of regulation, something Quinn’s office says needs to be watched closely before Illinois can approve it. But Link, who has sponsored gambling legislation for about half a dozen years, says it only makes sense because people are doing it online illegally, and legalizing it would help bring profits to the state. The new proposal also would give oversight to Illinois Lottery officials, who didn’t return messages seeking comment. The proposal calls for splitting profits, between treatment programs for problem gamblers and the pension problem. Supporters estimate the profits that would go toward the state’s public pension system could exceed $50 million. “This is the only revenuegenerating bill that’s been introduced,” Link said. The casinos – including in Rockford, Danville, Chicago’s south suburbs and Lake County – are estimated to generate between $400 million and $1 billion, and the bulk of the money would be allocated to the state’s Education Assistance Fund, after the local communities receive a share of the profits. Some of the profits from slots would be used to help the state pay its backlog of billions in unpaid bills. Those ideas seem to address exactly what Quinn outlined in his budget address. “Any enhancement that we enact to gaming revenues this year should be dedicated to education, which could include teachers’ pensions,” he told lawmakers in delivering a budget that includes $400 million less for education. “Of course, gaming expansion has to be done right.” Those who watch ethics and government praised the contributions ban in the latest bill.

VIEWS Froma Harrop states, they are restricted from prescribing narcotics. In others, they may prescribe certain kinds of narcotics and not others. Western states tend to give nurse practitioners the greatest autonomy. Perhaps it’s the libertarian spirit, or perhaps their vast rural areas, where doctors are few and far between. Colorado is considered “the cradle of nurse practitioner practice,” according to Spetz. A personal note: I went to a superb nurse practitioner for years, seeing the doctor she worked with only at parties. When I had a complaint she considered beyond her expertise, out came her pad and the name of a specialist to call. Her accessibility was a big plus. She had time to shoot the breeze about my every little ache and whether running is bad for the knees. Health economists see primary care providers as key to curbing medical costs. Americans overuse expensive specialists. For example, they run off to gastroenterologists and have endoscopes shoved down their throats when their problem is simple heartburn. Primary care providers could have saved these patients money, discomfort
and anxiety by prescribing Tums as a first step. “They know what they know, and they know what they don’t know,” Spetz said. “If a complicated diabetes situation is going on, they will send the patient to an endocrinologist.” We’re talking money here, hence some heavy turf battles. The American Medical Association worries about nurses taking business from its doctor-members and lobbies in state capitals against giving nurse practitioners more independence. The AMA argues that patients’ health may be jeopardized if doctors don’t monitor nurse practitioners. Obamacare provides some money for training nurse practitioners but sidesteps the matter of what role they might play. Early in the deliberations, there was reportedly talk of requiring states to give them more independence in return for Medicaid money. The AMA is said to have stopped that line of inquiry. Cutting health care costs – and making health care services more convenient for consumers – demands moving basic medical services away from hospitals and, in many cases, doctors’ offices. Sometimes we need a doctor; sometimes we don’t. A well trained nurse practitioner can help point us in the right direction.

Nurse practitioners could be in your future You want a routine checkup. Or your throat is sore. It’s probably nothing, but you’re concerned. Do you need a fullfledged MD with all those certificates and perhaps a God complex? Even if you want to see a physician, there’s a shortage of family doctors these days. And it will only get worse as the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) brings health coverage to 30 million more Americans. If you do have a primary care doctor, it may be hard to get an appointment. A nurse practitioner may be in your future – if he or she is not already in your present. This is a kind of super nurse, who’s gone through four years of nursing school plus at least two more years of training in diagnosing and treating disease. Nurse practitioners may specialize in women’s health, pediatrics or cardiac care. “A lot of people view them as a pretty obvious way to help deal with the number of people expected to get insurance,” Joanne Spetz, professor at the Institute for Health Policy Studies at the University of California, San Francisco, told me. But the extent to which they can fill the gaps depends on where you live. States regulate health care, so the latitude given nurse practitioners varies widely. In Missouri, for example, nurse practitioners may not see patients unless a physician is under the same roof. In New Mexico, by contrast, they don’t have to work with a physician at all. In some
The speed with which predators strike may be one of the more alarming aspects of a three-day child sex crime sting that resulted in 17 arrests in Wisconsin in March. Within 15 minutes of posting an online personal ad meant to attract sexual predators interested in children, law enforcement officials had a response. After two hours they had 13 names or online identities; within four hours, they had 23 potential suspects. The state’s Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force reported the arrests, which included five in Brown County recently. The operation focused on the Wisconsin Casual Encounters section of Craigslist and targeted those seeking to solicit underage children for the purpose of sexually explicit contact. Those arrested believed they were meeting with 15-year-olds they had met online. One suspect wanted to buy time with a 10-year-old. For parents whose children seem to be tethered to electronics that allow them to be in contact with the world, this information is frightening. In this digital age, where do you begin in your quest to keep your children safe when they can be in the next room contacting someone a state away and agreeing to meet in a parking lot? With the advent of smartphones, the days of a centralized computer at home from which kids can use the Internet are gone. More teens have smartphones and with those they can be in their room, away from their parents, accessing the Internet. The arrests should serve as a reality check. Parents need to always be vigilant with their children’s online activity and they need to snoop. Check the history on computers, make your children “friend” you on Facebook, get their logins and passwords. The Internet is a wonderful, powerful tool, and in many ways has made life easier for many. But it can also put you in contact with people you should best avoid. We don’t have to make them afraid to make a move, but we need to make them aware. Some tips for parents: • Tell your children never to give out their address, telephone number, password, school name or any other personal information. • Make sure your children know to never agree to meet face-to-face with someone they’ve met online without discussing it with you. Only if you decide that it’s OK to meet their “cyber-friend” should they arrange to meet this person, and then the meeting should be in a familiar public place in the presence of a trusted adult. • Tell your children never to respond to messages that have bad words, are scary, or just seem weird. • Tell children never send a picture of themselves to anyone without your permission. • Make sure that access to the Internet at your children’s school is monitored by adults. • Show interest in their Internet use. Have them show you their favorite apps. Ask them how they’re protecting their privacy and reputation.

Walk With Water to help Tanzanian people The first Walk With Water event will be held from 2 to 5 p.m. Thursday in the MLK commons on the campus of Northern Illinois University. Although it is meant to replicate the hardship undertaken by Tanzanian girls, walkers in this event will carry clean water, walk on flat terrain and wear shoes. Participants are asked to complete as many laps as possible while carrying up to 5 gallons of water. This event is a way for individuals and teams to raise money for TDS by asking sponsors to donate based on the number of laps completed. Additional information and application forms are available on the TDS website at www.tdsnfp.org. TDS actively works to empower men, women, and children in Tanzania to lift themselves out of poverty through education, training and community development. Since 2008, TDS has raised funds to construct a dormitory and furnish bunk beds for 160 girls attending the Nyegina Secondary School. Its new project, the construction of the Nyegina Library and Community Resource Center, is set to kick off in spring/summer 2013. The proceeds from the waterwalk events will help fund this construction project.
Tanzania Development Support, a nonprofit organization based in DeKalb, is sponsoring Walk With Water fundraising events to help local residents empathize with the hardships faced by people in countries where water is in short supply. Water is so plentiful in the United States that little thought is given to how critically important it is to life. In other countries the scarcity of water forces inhabitants to spend an entire day, every day, walking miles to locate water. This task is typically assigned to children, most often girls, who walk for water instead of going to school. Volunteers with Tanzania Development Support have traveled to Nyegina, Tanzania, where they’ve seen girls walking along the roadside carrying their yellow containers, called Jerry cans, on their way to and from a waterhole. The containers are large enough to hold 4 or 5 gallons. Once the containers are full, the girls may balance them on their heads or strap them to their backs to carry them home. The water is often dirty and contaminated with bacteria, but it’s all that is available. In addition, the girls walk over rough terrain and may be barefoot.
Church to host raffle fundraiser St. Mary of the Assumption Catholic Church of Maple Park will hold a “March Madness” fundraiser from 6 to 9 p.m. Saturday, at Bootlegger’s Bar, 107 Main St., Maple Park.

The winner will be pulled at half-time of the second game; winners need not be present to win. In addition, there will be raffles throughout the night with three winners each raffle. Prizes include meat trays from Inbodens Meat Market, hams, turkeys, gift certificates and cash. There also will be a 50/50 raffle. Food and drinks will be available for purchase.
Sit With An Artist Thursday at Taxco The Artist Co-op of Art Attack had such a good turnout at the recent Sit With An Artist At Taxco evening, another event will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday. Sit With An Artist At Taxco will have Co-op members Spencer Siebeck and Mark Kryger. Spencer, a high school student, will present two skulls and two drawings for art talks, as well as a current project as demonstration. Kryger focuses on a variety of forms thrown on the pottery wheel. He will present five or six pieces of work for display and art talk.
Pet of the Week
Rooney
Hi, I’m Rooney a big, gorgeous and smart Doberman Pinscher mix young girl. I’m a wonderful girl who loves to run after toys in TAILS fenced yard, sit for a good ear scratch or sleep upside down on my bed for a little nap. I’ve had a bit of a rough start, in my short life, so I’m a bit fearful of men. I do eventually warm up to them but I love women! I get a little anxious with all the noise here, at TAILS, so I go home with a staff member (a guy) at night where I can relax and get back to being a “house dog.” I’m not comfortable with other pets or kids so a home where I can be THE Queen would be ideal for me! I’m a very smart girl and know several commands and am learning how to walk calmly on a leash. I’m a girl who needs a home where I can feel safe and be the center of my owner’s world. Give me that and I will be your BFF for life!

8MORNING KICKOFF
BASEBALL
Opening Day a show worth watching AP photo
Michigan into Final Four with win over Florida ARLINGTON, Texas – Another fabulous group of young players has Michigan headed back to the Final Four. Led by Big Ten player of the year Trey Burke (above right) and sharp-shooting guard Nik Stauskas, one of three freshman starters, the Wolverines dominated Florida right from tipoff, scoring the game’s first 13 points and routing the Gators, 79-59, in the South Regional final Sunday. “A lot of guys said we were really young and that we couldn’t get here,” said Burke, a sophomore and the South Region’s most outstanding player. “We’re here now and we still have unfinished business.” Once they got ahead Sunday, the Wolverines (30-7) maintained a double-digit against the SEC regular-season champion Gators (29-8), who lost in a regional final for the third straight year.
CHICAGO – Baseball season has arrived. Hang on a second. Let me send a quick message to the Big Manager In The Sky. Thankyouthankyouthankyou. Oh, man. After a tough winter, I wasn’t sure whether today’s first pitch ever would arrive. It’s still chilly, of course. Those who attend today’s season opener between the White Sox and the Kansas City Roy-
fireworks. I think we all could use a little more of those things. That’s why I am going to embrace Opening Day no matter where the Sox and Cubs might find themselves in the standings come September. Nobody seems to expect much from either team this season, with the Sox forecast for a .500 finish (maybe) and the Cubs expected to lose 90-ish games one year after losing 100-ish games.
VIEWS Tom Musick als might need an extra layer for each of the nine innings. The same goes for those who head east to see the Cubs start their season against the Pittsburgh Pirates. But baseball season soon will mean warmth and sunshine and cookouts and
If this were a movie, neither team would head into the season with critical acclaim. But today is an Academy Award winner. Tomorrow will offer a chance to describe the season with another movie title: • “There Will Be Blah” • “Stranding Miss Daisy” • “A Low Down (In The Standings) Dirty Shame” Not today, though. Nope. I’ll watch Cubs
righthander Jeff Samardzija rock and fire, and I’ll listen closely on the WGN broadcast as the ball pops into the catcher’s mitt. I’ll smile as Darwin Barney dives to his right, jumps to his feet and snaps a strike across the diamond. I’ll admire David DeJesus for gliding to catch a fly ball that seems so easy until you try catching one yourself.

Attaining depth perception
Louisville beats Duke to reach Final Four INDIANAPOLIS – With tears in their eyes and Kevin Ware in their hearts, there was no way Louisville was losing this game. Russ Smith scored 23, Gorgui Dieng had 14 points, 11 rebounds and four blocks, and top-seeded Louisville put aside the shock from Ware’s gruesome leg injury to earn a second straight trip to the Final Four with an 85-63 victory over Duke on Sunday afternoon. As the final seconds ticked down, Chane Behanan put Ware’s jersey on and stood at the end of the Louisville bench, screaming. Cardinals fans chanted “Kevin Ware! Kevin Ware!”

Huskies looking for more options at tailback position By STEVE NITZ
N. Illinois football
snitz@shawmedia.com DeKALB – To Northern Illinois head coach Rod Carey, even if you have a top-flight running back, there’s always the need for more. These days, whether it’s college or the NFL, multiple backs who earn playing time are always useful. Depth at tailback is something Carey wants to see this spring. “We’re developing it. Guys

few of them, even if you have a special one. You look in the NFL you have special ones, they still rotate guys in.” At the end of the 2012 regular season, NIU’s Akeem Daniels had the look of a top tailback, running for 112 yards and four touchdowns at Eastern Michigan the day after Thanksgiving, and gaining 128 yards with a touchdown in the Mid-American Conference Championship win over Kent State.

The senior is listed at the top of NIU’s
spring depth chart, but after him there’s some uncertainty. Keith Harris Jr. got on the field as a true freshman but missed the last four games because of injury. Leighton Settle led Huskies tailbacks with 453 yards, but has left the program. Behind Daniels and Harris, who ran for 226 yards (4.1 yards a carry) and four touchdowns, are juniors Giorgio Bowers and James Spencer.

BLACKHAWKS 7, RED WINGS 1
Victory for Blackhawks revives dominant style DETROIT – Easter Sunday celebrates resurrection. And that brings us to the Blackhawks offense. That collective sigh of relief you heard passing over Lake Michigan resonated from Joe Louis Arena, where finally, the brand of hockey Hawks’ fans became so accustomed to this season made its triumphant return in the form of a 7-1 win over the Red Wings. Back from the dead. Alive and well. The perfect ending to your festive Easter brunch. Who knows? Maybe the Hawks gave up scoring for Lent’s stretch run. Maybe spring’s slow start kept the of-
VIEWS Jeff Arnold fense from blooming. Face it. Even with their gaudy Western Division-leading record, the Hawks goal-production had been woeful. Fourteen goals in five losses, often disappearing during critical third-period stretches, unable to produce late and when it mattered most. Sunday, though, was a fresh start. A new beginning.

Deng’s 28 help Bulls to another win The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – Luol Deng scored 28 points, Jimmy Butler and Nate Robinson each added 16, and the Bulls beat Detroit, 95-94, to extend their winning streak to 18 straight against the Pistons. Rodney Stuckey scored 25 points and Greg Monroe added 18 points for the Pistons, who have not beaten the Bulls since Dec. 23, 2008. The Bulls rallied from a 13-point deficit to tie the score 78-all with 9:27 remaining on
Butler’s dunk after a steal. Robinson then fed Deng for a layup for an 80-78 lead, the Bulls’ first advantage since 1-0. Deng and Robinson each hit 3-pointers to extend the Bulls’ lead to 91-84. Stuckey’s layup cut the Bulls lead to one with 1:27 left before Deng had a layup for a 94-91 lead. Charlie Villaneuva missed a 3 with 5.9 seconds left and Daequan Cook made a free throw. Stuckey made a 3 before the buzzer for the final margin. The Bulls also rallied from

NIU FOOTBALL NOTES
Huskies hold first practice in pads By STEVE NITZ snitz@shawmedia.com Saturday, Northern Illinois practiced in pads for the first time. Huskies head coach Rod Carey said he liked the way his team competed, but added that there’s a lot of things his group needs to clean up. He said the offense was rusty, and though it’s natural for that to happen early, he doesn’t accept it. “It’s always hard because one day you’ll see, like today, the defense had a pretty good
day. And then you come back and hopefully the offense will have a good day, so you’re never really totally happy as a team, that’s the hard part, when you’re looking at the whole picture,” Carey said. “But when you break it down, what I’m looking for is each person getting better individually every day, and knowing there’s going to be give and take there.” Other notes from Saturday’s practice: • There was a group of referees present Saturday, and Carey said he hopes to have refs
out as much as possible this spring. There are more rule changes this season, which include new changes when it comes to blocking below the waist and helmet-to-helmet contact to defensless players Now, if a defender is found guilty of helmet-to-helmet contact in the first half, he’s ejected. If it happens in the second half, he’s out for the rest of the game and misses the first half of next game. “You’ve got to stay on top of [the rule changes],” Carey said. “If you don’t, you’re
wrong on something. We’re going to have [the referees] out as much as we can. That helps.” • There’s been a good number of potential recruits at each of the Huskies’ first three practices. Carey wouldn’t say if there’s been more than the past two seasons thanks to the Orange Bowl, but did say he likes the way recruiting is going so far. “We’ve got a good slew of guys coming out,” Carey said. “We’re excited about it, and we’re excited about how recruiting’s going.”
Akron transfer looking for playing time with Huskies • TAILBACK Continued from page B1 Bowers, an Akron transfer, had just 12 carries for 65 yards last season, while Spencer carried the ball just twice for 30 yards. Daniels and Harris have been dealing with minor injuries this spring, but Carey expects both back soon. One guy
who has taken advantage of the extra reps is Bowers, who estimates he is getting double the reps he was receiving at the beginning of last season. A prodcut of suburban Chicago’s Rich Central, Bowers played at Akron in 2010 before transferring to NIU. He credited the proximity to home and the family atmosphere in DeKalb as primary reasons for his decision to be part of
the Huskies program. Bowers, who’s listed at 5-8, 218 pounds, has the size of a goal-line back, and Carey mentioned his downhill running ability. However, Bowers feels he’s more than a onetrick pony. “I don’t limit myself. I try to do it all,” he said. “I may look like a short-yardage back but I can hit a big one if I get an opening.”
Bowers is a guy who has the ability to hit the hole and get tough yardage, which is one thing Carey wants to see from his backs throughout spring practice. “You want to see them make the hard runs and the runs after contact,” Carey said. “That’s what separates backs, and that’s what we’re looking for.”
Konerko, Soriano back for Chicago teams as Opening Day arrives • MUSICK Continued from page B1 After I find my seat in the press box at U.S. Cellular Field, I’ll be grateful to see Chris Sale, one of the most exciting young pitchers in the game. I’ll enjoy watching Paul Konerko backhand a hard-hit ground ball that would get past most other starting first basemen. I’ll admire Alexei Ramirez’s arm
strength, even if he airmails his throws now and then. Tomorrow, I’ll ponder other working titles for the season. • “Up In The Error” • “One Flew Over The Left Field Wall” • “Crazy, Stupid, Glove” But not today. No way. I’ll have my pencil and scorecard handy as Dayan Viciedo extends his bat out of the strike zone to hack at a
fastball. I’ll think that the Cubs have found their new closer when Kyuji Fujikawa breezes through one inning and Carlos Marmol labors through another. I’ll shrug when Alex Rios flies out with two outs and runners in scoring position, and I’ll forgive Alfonso Soriano for grounding into an inning-ending double play. Tomorrow, I can dwell on the bigger picture. • “Swingers (And Missers)”
• “Mr. Sveum Goes To Washington… And Gets Swept By The Nationals” • “Be Kind Rewind to 1908” Not today, though. Not a chance. It’s Opening Day. Thankyouthankyouthankyou.

Hawks play complete game • ARNOLD Continued from page B1 And what a beginning it was. Try three goals in a stretch of 1:39 when seemingly everything the Hawks threw at the net was going in. Yes, I realize that Detroit’s Jakub KIndl had a nifty backhander that escaped Wings’ goalie Jimmy Howard. But that only piled on to goals by Jeremy Morin and Brandon Saad that both came before fans got settled into their seats. Not impressed? How about two second-period goals that came a whopping eight seconds apart. They weren’t all beautiful, awe-inspiring goals . Some were downright ugly. But considering the frustration that had dampened the Hawks’ historic start and that had defined five losses in nine games, Sunday’s flourish couldn’t have come at a better time. Asked to put into words what had gone wrong during the Hawks’ recent skid, captain Jonathan Toews said the Hawks lost sight of what made them so dangerous earlier this season. They forgot how to play an entire 60 minutes. They failed to do the little things. Yes, the Hawks have been without Marian Hossa and
Patrick Sharp, throwing chemistry into a dizzying downward spiral. The pace was off. The Hawks at times, especially defensively, appeared lost. But in the midst of everything that they were asked to endure, the Hawks pressed on. That brings us to resurrection Sunday. “We got back to playing the right way tonight,” Toews said. “You saw the result.” The Hawks won’t score seven goals every night. And face it, they played Detroit at a good time after the Wings were coming off a tough fourgame West Coast swing and played without star Henrik Zetterberg. But with one complete 60-minute showing, the Hawks who made you believe they are the best team in the NHL re-emerged Sunday. The uncertainty that defined the past nine games disappeared and for the first time in a while, Toews and his teammates actually looked like they were enjoying themselves. Resurrection Sunday, indeed.

What fools we mortals be, trying to joke Dear Readers: It’s April Fools’ Day, the day on which I share some offbeat letters and examples of readers’ efforts to pull my leg. It’s all in fun – so enjoy! Dear Abby: My husband and I have been married almost 10 years. He has always been a good husband, but recently he has been coming home increasingly late. He says he’s putting in overtime. The other day when I was doing the laundry, I discovered a red stain on his underwear. He said they were painting the bathroom at work and he had gotten paint on it when he used the facilities, but it looks more like lipstick to me. Can you tell me how to get the lipstick out of his shorts? – Good Housewife in Utah
DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips Dear Good Housewife: There’s more to marriage than getting whiter whites. You may be a great housewife, but you’re missing the big picture. More important than getting the lipstick out of his shorts is keeping his shorts away from the lipstick. And that’s no joke. Dear Abby: My girlfriend just moved in, and we’re going to have a party to celebrate. We have decided to have it here, but the problem is we have just one bathroom. I think we should rent a porta-potty. We could put it
in the hallway next to the dining room. My girlfriend thinks that’s tacky, but I think it’s a sensible solution. Because this is a fourth-floor walk-up, the porta-potty folks may charge extra to deliver it. Advice, please? – Tom And Nancy in New York Dear Tom And Nancy: Gladly. CHARGE for the use of the porta-potty and two things will happen: You will make enough money to reimburse yourself for the delivery cost, and so few guests will accept your invitations in the future that your one bathroom will be able to accommodate them. Dear Abby: My wife and I and our teenage son came home from a family gettogether, and after he went to bed, my wife told me she wants to get a new, “boun-
cier” bed. We don’t want to wake up our son with the noise of our enjoying it. What kind of bed do you recommend? – Mr. Romance in Oregon Dear Mr. Romance: Forget the bed and buy a trampoline. And if your son asks why, tell him you’re training to join the circus. Dear Abby: How can I give my boyfriend makeup sex if we never have an argument? – Miss Bliss in Indiana Dear Miss Bliss: That’s a good question. If you figure out the answer, let me know. Dear Abby: I am a married man dating a married woman. She’s the love of my life. My girlfriend is sweet, kind, has a caring heart and is very much a lady.
We often sneak away for romantic weekends, where we laugh and enjoy being together and forget our daily routines. Sometimes I’ll stop and watch her while she shops or talks to people and admire how beautiful she is. The twinkle in her eyes is as close as I can get to the stars in the sky. I adore her and plan to be with her for the rest of my life. And one more thing: My girlfriend is also my bride of 40 years! – One Lucky Guy in Tennessee Dear Lucky Guy: Normally I’d advise you to try to turn your wife into the love of your life, but you’re ahead of me!

Immunity boosting claim a marketing ploy Dear Dr. K: I’ve seen many product labels that claim to boost immunity. Could they really help? Or should I be skeptical? Dear Reader: Your immune system does a remarkable job of protecting you from bacteria, viruses and other microbes that can cause disease, suffering, even death. So it seems logical to want to give your immune system a boost. But the concept of boosting immunity actually makes little sense scientifically. In fact, boosting your immune response is not necessarily a good thing. An overactive immune response is seen in major autoimmune diseases, such as Type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis
ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff and lupus. In autoimmune diseases, the overactive immune system starts attacking the body instead of defending it. Allergies are another example of an immune system that’s overactive. A harmless little pollen gets into your nose, for example, and the immune system attacks the pollen as if it’s at war. Even if it were a good thing, attempting to boost the immune system is especially complicated. That’s because the immune system is precisely that – a system, not a
single entity. To function well, the immune system requires balance and harmony. Think of it as an army: The actions of the soldiers need to be coordinated by the generals, who determine when and where to attack, as well as when to stop attacking. There is still much that researchers don’t know about the workings and interconnectedness of the immune response. We’ve got to understand how the immune system works better than we currently do to achieve the goal of boosting it at just the right time and in the right part of the body. For example, the immune system uses many different kinds of cells, which respond
to different microbes in different ways. So which cells should you boost, and to what number? So far, no one knows how many or what kinds of cells the immune system needs to function at its best. Yet many food products and packaged drinks are labeled as “supporting immunity,” “boosting immunity” or providing a “defense” against germs. Most of these products just contain vitamins and minerals that people already get as part of a normal, healthy diet. My colleague Dr. Michael Starnbach, a professor of microbiology and medical genetics at Harvard Medical School, feels strongly that when it comes to products that claim to boost immunity,
there’s no truth in advertising. As he says, there’s simply no evidence that consuming these products will translate into better immune function. And without that evidence, the claims on food and drink packaging are just a marketing ploy – and one that may lead us to consume more calories than we need. It’s not silly to want to find a way to help the immune system do a better job of defending us from foreign microbes, and I hope that research can teach us how to do this. However, we just don’t have enough information yet to make this a reality.

Pimples should be the least of your worries Dr. Wallace: I’m 16, and my girlfriend and I have been having sex for about four months. I love her very much. This is my first sexual activity. Before we became sexually active, my complexion was clear, but in the past several months, I have been having pimples on my forehead. My buddy says that having sex is the cause of my complexion problem because he said the same thing happened to him when he started having sex. Does this happen to all guys who are sexually active for the first time or just us unlucky ones? How long will it take for my face to clear up? – Nameless, St. Charles, Ill.
’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace Nameless: Sexually active teens bring a myriad of problems into their lives, but pimples aren’t one of them. There is absolutely no evidence that sex causes complexion problems, says Dr. Jeffrey Lauber, a Southern California dermatologist. His advice is to see a dermatologist who can help you clear up your complexion. My advice is to avoid real trouble – unwanted pregnancy, sexually transmitted disease, emotional shipwreck
8ASTROGRAPH By BERNICE BEDE OSOL Newspaper Enterprise Association
TODAY – A number of benefits could come your way in the year ahead, through contacts in large organizations, groups or clubs. Circulate in places where you have a chance to cultivate new friends. ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Your creativity is skyrocketing, so take advantage of it. Your ideas will be successful, as long as you follow through on them. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Don’t despair if your recent schemes have yet to pan out. Check to make sure that you’ve done everything possible, and have patience. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Intangible ideas could prove to be of greater value than things of a material nature. This will become very evident today. CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Even if benefits are presently coming your way without too much exertion on your part, imagine how much more could happen if you put forth some effort. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – It could be to your benefit to try to help others realize their hopes and expectations. What would be beneficial for them could be of advantage to you as well. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – You’re destined to accomplish something of significance that could produce more than a few benefits. However, it may not be apparent that a bonus is on its way – it is. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – This is a good day to once again analyze a problem that you’ve been unable to resolve. A number of solutions that previously eluded you could now become quite obvious. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – If an important enterprise in which you’re involved has a dire need for something you possess, do your best to deliver. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Even if you’re operating well on your own, you would be even more productive with a capable partner. Try to find one with all due haste. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – It looks like the career opportunity that you’ve been looking for is about to come your way. Keep your plans flexible so you can take advantage of it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Friends are likely to talk to you about all kinds of things, imparting information that they wouldn’t reveal to others. What you learn will be useful and then some. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Your financial prospects look to be quite encouraging over the next few days. You could be unusually lucky in ways that could affect your public image.
– and stop having sex. “Love” is a word that comes with maturity. Without that maturity, one or both of you are just using the other person. Dr. Wallace: Our physical education teacher is an excellent instructor, but he has the personality of a dead snake. I don’t like anything about her except her teaching methods. You always tell students to talk with teachers after school if a question needs to be answered. There is no way under the sun I would talk to her one-on-one. That’s why I’m writing to you. This teacher told our class that steady exercise would help eliminate colds. My dad says the teacher is
8SUDOKU
wrong. He is a former athlete and said that exercise is great for good health, but that after exercising, when the body is cooling down, if proper care isn’t taken, the person is extra vulnerable to catching a cold. What’s the true story? – Rhonda, San Jose, Calif. Rhonda: Your teacher and your father both are correct to some degree. First, one does not “catch” a cold or the flu from being out in cold or wet weather or cooling down after exercise. A study conducted at Appalachian State University found that participants who exercised regularly had half the number of colds and flu in a year’s time as those who
did not exercise. Exercise stimulates the frontline immune cells – the ones that attack a cold first. But strenuous to very strenuous exercise tends to weaken the cell defense. The key to fewer colds is moderate exercise. Walking briskly for 40 minutes a day, five days a week, is considered moderate exercise. Colds and flu are caused by viruses that enter the body through the mouth and nose and are spread by hand-to-hand contact, or by sharing such items as towels, utensils and telephones with an infected person.

8CROSSWORD
BRIDGE Phillip Alder
Book says zig; deal says zag Bridge has survived all these decades for several reasons. For example, there are deals, like this one, that do not follow a normal course. What would a textbook advise West to lead against four spades? But what would he lead if he could see all 52 cards? When a defender has four trumps, it is usually best to try to make declarer ruff something. The defender hopes to reduce declarer’s trump length down to his own, or, even better, shorter than his. He wants declarer to lose trump control. Thinking along those lines, West led the heart ace. When East signaled enthusiastically with the nine, West led another heart. South tried dummy’s queen, but East covered with the king. After ruffing, South was tempted to play on trumps, but he mused about West’s lead. West surely had not started with ace-doubleton. And if not, it was a dangerous lead, suggesting that he had long trumps. Declarer cashed his diamond ace, ruffed a diamond on the board, led a club to his king, and ruffed his last diamond. Then he played a trump. West won and led another heart, but South ruffed, cashed his two top trumps, and played on clubs, still having one trump to retain control. Declarer lost only one heart and two spades. On this deal, West has to lead his singleton to defeat the contract. Then, if declarer attacks trumps, West wins and returns the suit. Or, if South exits with a heart before or after ruffing a diamond on the board, East wins and gives his partner a club ruff. Then West cashes the spade ace and plays another spade – no fooling!
