Hopkins Pool plan placed on hold Parks officials to wait on approving construction firm, paying full cost for schematics

By DAVID THOMAS dthomas@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Before a packed crowd that included some of their successors, DeKalb park commissioners tabled the decision to approve a construction firm to build the new Hopkins Pool.

They also held off on paying PHN Architects fully for their work for

the schematics they made of the new pool, which would have a capacity of 1,100 bather loads. The board voted to pay the architects for 90 percent of the work that has been done.

“I think what the board decided to do tonight was revisit the schematic plans as well as the construction manager’s agreement,” said executive director Cindy Capek. “How

that impacts the schedule will be dependent on future meetings moving forward.”

Thursday marked the current park board’s last meeting. Commissioners Joan Berkes Hanson, David Mason and Mario Fontana will be replaced by Keith Nyquist, Per Faivre and Don Irving, who were elected Tuesday.

The commissioners-elect were

among the members of the public who lobbied the park board to slow down any decision involving the replacement of Hopkins Pool.

“It will be the taxpayers who will be judging us by the results,” Nyquist said. “We would like to be the ones who make that decision.”

Nyquist’s petition found sympathetic ears on the board. Commissioners Phil Young, Mason and Fon-

North Korea hints it will launch missile

Schools face toughest financial month of the year

By JEAN H. LEE The Associated Press PYONGYANG, North Korea – Hinting at a missile launch, North Korea delivered a fresh round of war rhetoric Thursday with claims it has “powerful striking means” on standby. Seoul and Washington speculated that it is preparing to test-fire a missile designed to be capable of reaching the U.S. territory of Guam in the Pacific Ocean.

The latest rhetoric came as new U.S. intelligence was revealed showing North Korea is now probably capable of arming a ballistic missile with a nuclear warhead.

On the streets of Pyongyang, North Koreans shifted into party mode as they celebrated the anniversary of leader Kim Jong Un’s appointment to the country’s top party post – one in a slew of titles collected a year ago in the months after his father Kim Jong Il’s death.

But while there was calm in Pyongyang, there was condemnation in London, where foreign ministers from the Group of Eight nations slammed North Korea for “aggressive rhetoric” that they warned would only further isolate the impoverished, tightly controlled nation.

North Korea’s provocations, including a long-range rocket launch in December and an underground nuclear test in February, “seriously undermine regional stability, jeopardize the prospects for lasting peace on the Korean Peninsula and threaten international peace and security,” the ministers said in a statement.

In the capital of neighboring South Korea, the country’s point person on relations with the North, Unification Minister Ryoo Kihl-jae, urged Pyongyang to engage in dialogue and reverse its decision to pull workers from a joint industrial park just north of their shared border, a move that has brought factories there to a standstill.

“We strongly urge North Korea not to exacerbate the crisis on the Korean Peninsula,” Ryoo said.

North Korea probably has advanced its nuclear knowhow to the point where it could arm a ballistic missile with a nuclear warhead, but the weapon wouldn’t be very reliable, the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency has concluded. The DIA assessment was revealed Thursday at a public hearing in Washington.

President Barack Obama warned the unpredictable communist regime that his administration would “take all necessary steps” to protect American citizens.

By JEFF ENGELHARDT jengelhardt@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – It has been seven months since Sycamore School District 427 has seen a monthly budget in the black.

April marks the final month of the annual property tax revenue drought for school districts, which only receive the local funds in May, June, August and September. Luke Glowiak, assistant superintendent of business for District 427, said that makes the next few weeks the most difficult for schools from a cashflow perspective.

“Where it really gets tough for districts is on May 15,” Glowiak said of the final payroll period before property tax starts to come in at the end of the month. “You pretty much drain down your financial reserves by that time.”

Outside of the four months when the district receives property tax revenue, Glowiak said there could be a monthly deficit of anywhere between $1.5 million to $2.5 million because general state aid payments are minimal.

But because of what Glowiak called excellent financial stewardship by the board, Sycamore schools still are in good condition. The district has maintained about $26 million in reserves, a roughly 42 percent fund balance.

Brad Shortridge, assistant superin-

tana voted to table approving the construction firm.

“I think it’s [the new board’s] responsibility,” Mason said. “They are responsible for the burden of the pool. I think anything dealing with the pool from us at this table should be sent forward to the new board.”

Music teacher Kristine Mutchler instructs a kindergarten class while helping a child with a rubber band caught in her hair during a music lesson. tendent for business at Genoa-Kingston School District 424, said the long period between significant revenue has always been a challenge for school districts, but it is becoming more of a problem because of cuts.

District 424 has seen its reserves fall from $9.8 million to a projected $8.8 million, although it could be worse as it sits at $7.3 million before the property tax installment. Shortridge said the district could lose

another million next year because the state is going to prorate per-student aid payments, possibly providing 82 percent of the foundation level, which this year was $6,119 per student.

Among local school districts, Genoa-Kingston is one of the most heavily reliant on general state aid, which comprises almost 40 percent of its budget.

The most critical years in life If you’re older than, say, 35, look at a recent photo of yourself. Now, compare that to a photo of you from eight years ago. What’s changed?

A few wrinkles, a few pounds, maybe some gray hair. You probably look more tired, but overall, not much has changed.

Now consider how much your life changed between birth and 8 years old.

That change is the reason behind a national celebration which begins next week.

“The Week of the Young Child,” sponsored by the National Association for the Education of Young Children, focuses public attention on young children (birth to 8), their families, and early childhood programs/services that meet those needs.

The event has been around for more than 40 years. This year’s theme is “Early years are learning years.”

Amy Lofthouse, preschool master teacher at Northern Illinois University’s Child Development Lab, is a friend and colleague. She told me about the cool stuff the Child Develoment Lab has planned for next week (call 815-7531150 for more information): • A kickoff “parade” of youngsters marching across NIU’s campus Monday morning • Family night and art show Tuesday evening • Book signing (a new work from a preschooler who has written six books) on Wednesday • Dance party Thursday • Family lunch Friday She also said several local organiza-

THE FINE LINE Jason Akst tions (NIU, Sycamore’s Midwest Museum of Natural History, Ollie’s Frozen Custard, Sweet Dream Desserts and Catering, Energym Gymnastics, Sycamore Speedway, and YMCA) generously donated items for a raffle to buy musical instruments.

What do children learn between birth and age 8?

Only about everything that sets the stage for life. That’s not an exaggeration. Set aside attainment of crucial physical skills – walking, talking, chewing, toilet training, running, etc.

– for a moment, and think about the brain.

According to Harvard’s Center on the Developing Child, language, cognition and the ability to interact with the world start before birth, grow exponentially in a child’s first year or so, and peak before the age of 10.

Put another way, you might not have changed much in the past eight years. Children, on the other hand, go from zero to nearly everything between birth and 8.

And unlike that meeting you missed, once those learning years of childhood have passed, there’s no way to recover that opportunity.

All of which fits into the category of “duh.” Most adults understand the critical nature of first years.

So it’s stunning that America goes

the wrong direction on early education at nearly every opportunity. Consider: 1. In February, President Barack Obama aggressively campaigned for more money for Head Start, the federal preschool program for low-income families. Head Start is a political hot potato. Critics say it’s ineffective and wasteful.

A new report from the National Institute for Early Education Research disagrees. The meta-analysis of hundreds of studies nationally indicates convincingly that “when all the evidence is considered it is found that large-scale public programs have produced meaningful long-term gains for children, and not just disadvantaged children.”

Regardless, because of the sequestration, the White House estimates that 70,000 fewer children nationally will be served. Daycare and early education centers across the country are shutting down, closing early, turning away children or herding them into ever-larger classes.

2. According to salary.com, the national median salary for kindergarten and elementary school teachers is about $53,000. For daycare center teachers, it’s about $28,000.

3. Lofthouse told me that one of her profession’s biggest challenges is convincing people that “early childhood educators are not just babysitters.”

8 TODAY’S TALKER

By CARYN ROUSSEAU The Associated Press

Actors John Cusack (left) and Joan Cusack talk about Roger Ebert during a memorial for the film critic Thursday at The Chicago Theater. kel of the Chicago Tribune in 1975 for a television show that had them each give a thumbs-up or thumbs-down rating to the latest releases.

John Cusack said he and his sister enjoyed watching Ebert and Siskel growing up. “Chicago’s lost a great icon but he’ll always be with us,” he said of Ebert.

Joan Cusack read a letter from President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama. The Obamas remem-

bered Ebert as a “cultural leader.”

Earlier, Todd McCarthy, film critic for publications like Variety, said a key to Ebert’s success was that he was “a populist without prejudice.”

“He was neither high-brow nor lowbrow,” McCarthy said. “In the world of film criticism for 46 years there was Roger Ebert and then there was the rest of us.”

Ebert continued the movie review TV show with Sun-Times colleague Richard Roeper after Siskel’s death in 1999.

“I felt that as long as Roger was alive a little bit of Gene was, too,” said Siskel’s widow, Marlene Iglitzen Siskel, at the memorial. She said Ebert had an “unsurpassed body of work.”

Ebert’s widow, Chaz Ebert, also was to speak at the memorial. A choir opened the gathering by singing, “Roger Ebert, we will always love you.”

The historic theater was a fitting place for the event. Ebert screened movies there for many years. And in 2005, the city unveiled a sidewalk medallion under the ornate marquee of the theater as a tribute to Ebert.

A country song, assumptions and a racial outcry

By JESSE WASHINGTON The Associated Press Southern white men don’t usually drive racial dialogue. For as long as race has riven America, they have been depicted more often as the problem than the solution.

So after country music star Brad Paisley released his new song “Accidental Racist” this week, what happened next was hardly surprising: days of widespread criticism about his attempt to detail the challenges facing a “white man from the Southland” and his recruitment of LL Cool J to rap a black perspective.

The song sparked a predictable blaze this week on TV, talk radio and the Internet. USA Today asked if it was an “epic fail.” At The Atlantic, Ta-Nehisi Coates titled his analysis, “’Accidental Racist’ Is Actually Just Racist.’ More than a few ridiculed it as “the worst

Actors, others honor Ebert in Chicago CHICAGO – Hollywood came to Chicago on Thursday as actors, directors, film critics and studio presidents honored late movie reviewer Roger Ebert in his hometown.

All of those who shared memories at the Chicago Theatre cheered Ebert as a champion of movies and a critic who used his influence to help filmmakers find audiences. He died last week at age 70 after a years-long battle with cancer.

“He was always supportive of artists. He always gave you a fair shake,” said Chicago native John Cusack, who appeared with his sister and fellow actor, Joan Cusack.

Ebert worked at the Chicago SunTimes for more than 40 years. The day before his April 4 death, he wrote in a post on his blog that he was taking a break from his schedule of almost-daily movie reviewing because the cancer had recurred.

He won national fame when he teamed with fellow film critic Gene Sis-

song ever.”

Some elements of the outcry, however, raise less predictable questions: Where does naiveté turn into ignorance, and then into racism? What is the basis of modern Southern pride?

And, possibly most important, should we grade racial attitudes on a curve?

Paisley begins the song with an anecdote about a black man taking offense to his Confederate flag T-shirt. “The only thing I meant to say is I’m a Skynyrd fan,” Paisley sings, referring to the pioneering Southern rock group.

That scene actually happened to Paisley in real life, said Charlie Cook, programming director for West Virginia Radio Corp. and a member of the Country Music Association’s board of directors, who heard Paisley discuss the song with a group of industry executives.

“He sat down and thought about it from another person’s perspective and

said, ‘If I offended you, it was accidental,’ ” Cook said. “I think it’s really from his heart.”

That doesn’t matter, say many of the critical voices. They say it’s the result that counts – a song that, to them, turns some of the most stinging flashpoints of American racial history into aw-shucks anecdotes. They are receiving a message very different from the one Paisley intended: the country-music staple of trying to figure out one’s experiences through song.

Ignorance is no excuse for Demetria Irwin, who savaged “Accidental Racist” in a piece on the black news and culture website TheGrio.com.

“I think he had good intentions. I think he genuinely wanted to explore a topic,” Irwin, who is black, said in an interview. However, “I don’t believe he doesn’t know what the Confederate flag symbolizes and what it means. There’s nothing accidental about that.”

8NATION BRIEF Letter from Civil War addresses Lincoln mystery ELIZABETHTOWN, Ky. – A Kentucky history museum official said a letter written during the Civil War may shed light on where Abraham Lincoln’s parents lived immediately after marrying.

History scholars have debated the precise location of the couple’s cabin.

Hardin County History Museum Vice President Elvin Smith Jr. told The News-Enterprise that the facility received transcribed copies of letters written during the Civil War by a Union soldier stationed in Elizabethtown that mentions the cabin’s location.

Smith said details in one of the letters written by chaplain Augustus Hammond Conant, who served in the 19th Illinois volunteer infantry, may help unravel the mystery if Conant wasn’t mistaken.

A letter from Oct. 28, 1861, reads, “This town has about 1,500 inhabitants. It was for a time the home of President Abraham Lincoln, and the house where he lived is in sight of our camp.”

New DeKalb clerk keeping similar Maple Park job

By DAVID THOMAS

Voice your opinion

dthomas@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Liz Peerboom will work as the village clerk of Maple Park while serving out her term as DeKalb’s new elected city clerk.

Both Peerboom and City Attorney Dean Frieders said state law allows for her to work in both capacities. State law does prohibit elected officials from holding offices that would create a conflict of interest, or where one office could adversely affect the other.

“In this case, there is no statutory prohibition on holding both offices,” Frieders said in an email. “And there is no relationship between the two units of government that would create a conflict of interest or conflicting duties and obligations.”

Peerboom, 51, was the clear winner in Tuesday’s four-way write-in race for the city clerk position, collecting 75 percent of the vote.

Rob Winner – rwinner@shawmedia.com

Liz Peerboom works at her desk within the Maple Park Civic Center on Thursday. Peerboom, who is the village clerk for Maple Park, was recently elected as the next DeKalb city clerk.

“I was humbled,” Peerboom said. “I was hoping to win obviously, but I never dreamed it would be by that large of a margin.”

Peerboom will be sworn in with other new DeKalb leaders – mayor-elect John Rey, and aldermen-elect Bill Finucane and Robert Snow

– at a special meeting May 6. The Maple Park job is an appointed position in which she makes $13.26 an hour and works 20 to 30 hours weekly.

Peerboom had previously worked for the City of DeKalb for 19 years, working in different departments until her retirement in 2010. Peerboom said she already has been in contact with the DeKalb clerk’s office, as well as the city’s information technology department.

Peerboom said she expects to take on the full duties of the DeKalb office, even though the council reduced it to a part-time position.

“I’m going to be doing it because I care about the city, not because of the money,” Peerboom said. “It’s a very important role in the city. I do believe it is worth more than what it’s being paid now.”

In February 2012, Steve Kapitan resigned from the

DeKalb city clerk he was elected to in 2009 after reportedly failing to comply with the state’s Open Meetings Act. The controversy around Kapitan’s exit led to the DeKalb City Council reducing the clerk’s salary to $5,000 a year after DeKalb voters defeated a referendum to make the elected office an appointed position.

Meanwhile, a deputy clerk will become a full-time position with benefits and likely will be assigned to handle much of the clerk’s duties that are not prescribed by law.

Biernacki said no elected official can raise the salary of their own office for their current term. At the last meeting of June preceding a municipal election, the city council reviews the salaries for elected officials. The next time the council will be able to raise the clerk’s salary will be in June 2016, near the end of Peerboom’s term.

New District 424 Caribou Coffee in Hy-Vee to remain open members looking forward to change

By DAVID THOMAS

dthomas@shawmedia.com

By STEPHANIE HICKMAN shickman@shawmedia.com GENOA – Newly elected Genoa-Kingston School District 424 board member Taunya Fischer says she wants to improve the district’s transparency when she is seated.

The board received some backlash after they approved $600,000 in cuts for the coming academic year at the March 19 meeting. They voted to lay off 14 teachers and eliminate freshman sports from the high school athletic program.

“I’m really hoping with the four new people on the board we might be able to open the lines of communication a little better so people don’t feel they’re so blindsided with things,” Fischer said.

Fischer, Kerri Sosnowski, Kristin Brynteson and Heather Edwards will be seated April 30 after oustJoe Burgess ing incumbent board president Dale Pelley in the race for four of the seven seats on the board. The April 30 meeting also is expected to include discussion of calling back staff members and reinstating freshman sports, Superintendent Joe Burgess said.

“I think [the voters] wanted to see some new blood in there,” Sosnowski said.

The budget cuts approved last month left many community members and District 424 parents, including Tom Fisher, troubled.

A member of the Genoa-Kingston Fine Arts Boosters, which backed the election of the four new board members, Fisher said he is optimistic these new board members will bring a fresh perspective to the district.

“Hopefully, we’ll get another chance to look at these issues and see if there’s another way to resolve them,” he said.

Fisher said he and other community members had some concerns about the lack of involvement the community had in the previous board’s decision-making process. He hopes that will no longer be an

“I’m really hoping with the four new people on the board we might be able to open the lines of communication a little better so people don’t feel they’re so blindsided with things.”

Taunya Fischer D-424 board member issue with the new board.

“We feel as though they are going to make decisions more on what the community wants,” he said.

Fischer said she is ready to rise to the occasion and represent the community to the best of her ability.

Fischer said she realizes tackling the district’s dismal budget won’t be easy, but she is determined to look for ways to get the battered programs up and running at full strength again.

Pelley encouraged the new board members to familiarize themselves with the district’s finances as best they can.

“I think they should look at all the different parts of the financial picture,” he said. “See if they can find some things that we’ve missed.”

Although he was disappointed that his 16-year tenure on the board has come to an end, Pelley said he was grateful for the opportunity to serve the Genoa-Kingston community and he’s optimistic about the future of the district.

“I think a fresh look and a fresh set of eyes in there is a good thing,” he said.

WATERMAN – Three high school friends will again descend on Pub West for the annual Old Fat Guy Idol to raise money for the Susan G. Komen 3-Day. The “old fat guys” – Larry Meredith, Chuck Wesenberg and Bob Strausberger – will each perform three songs April 20, and the singer who collects the most donations will be declared the winner. Since 2010, the

fundraiser has collected more than $13,800.

Recordings from past years events are online at www.oldfatguyidol.com, so supporters can listen to the three singers and vote by making a donation online.

The event will start at 7 p.m.

April 20 at Pub West, 100 E. Adams St., in Waterman. The event also will include live music, raffles and food. There is no cover charge.

Roger Hopkins, the economic development consultant for DeKalb, said the developer has floated a couple of businesses as possible tenants at that site, but no arrangements have been finalized.

Hopkins declined to say who has been considering the site, but he said the site is geared to certain restaurants.

“My feeling is that it will at least be offered to somebody else who’s in the fast casual dining business,” Hopkins said, comparing it to Panera Bread and Subway. “But something not available in

that neighborhood.”

The size of the space, as well as the lack of a drive-up window, would probably discourage a fast food restaurant like a Burger King or McDonald’s, he said. He added that the space could house a specialty retail store like a GameStop or a Verizon Wireless store, but DeKalb has those options available.

“It may be empty until July or August or September so it can open when retailers traditionally open in late summer [or] early fall,” Hopkins said.

Fewer Illinoisans get health insurance at work

By CARLA K. JOHNSON

8LOCAL BRIEFS ‘Old Fat Guy Idol’ set for April 20 in Waterman

SYCAMORE – The Caribou Coffee in Hy-Vee will stay as the company closes stores nationwide and reopens others as Peet’s Coffee & Tea. Caribou leaders announced Monday that they are closing 80 underperforming stores around the country Sunday, while another 88 stores will be converted into Peet’s. Fourteen of those stores are located in Illinois.

“While the decisions we’ve made have been difficult for

our team in Minneapolis, as well as our team members across the country and our guests and fans everywhere,” president and CEO Michael Tattersfield said in a statement, “we are working to make this transition as seamless as possible for the Caribou community.”

They will continue to operate 10 Caribou Coffee locations inside grocery stores, including the Sycamore location at 2700 DeKalb Ave. DeKalb’s Caribou Coffee location at 2385 Sycamore Road closed in February.

The Associated Press CHICAGO – The percentage of Illinoisans who get health insurance through the workplace has declined, according to a report released Thursday that found similar drops nationwide with the country on the verge of overhauling the health care system.

Rising costs mean fewer employers are offering health benefits and fewer workers are accepting coverage, even when it’s available, the report’s authors said. The analysis, funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, found that 11.5 million fewer Americans received health insurance through an employer or a family member’s job in 2011 than in 2000.

Americans will be required to have health insurance beginning Jan. 1 under the federal health care overhaul. Illinois and the federal government will offer an online health insurance marketplace where many people will be able to get tax credits to help pay for coverage.

In Illinois, the report found the portion of nonelderly residents with health insurance through their jobs dropped from 74 percent in 2000 to 62 percent in 2011. Seniors were excluded because they qualify for coverage through Medicare.

The number of Illinois residents insured through work dropped by 1.2 million over the decade to 6.9 million.

In contrast, more young adults are covered through employer-sponsored insurance. The researchers at-

tributed that to a provision of the Affordable Care Act that allows children to stay on their parents’ health policies until age 26. In Illinois, the percentage of 19- to 25-yearolds covered by a workplace plan climbed from 37 percent to 41 percent.

Costs are climbing. The average dollar amount of employee premium contributions more than doubled.

In Illinois, employee premium contributions for a single-person health plan grew from $495 to $1,164. For a family policy, employee contributions rose from $1,623 to $3,869.

Lower-income Illinoisans were more likely to be affected by the decline in employer-sponsored health insurance. In Illinois households with annual incomes at or above about $89,400

for a family of four, employer-sponsored health insurance rates dropped just 3.3 percentage points. In households with incomes below $44,700 for a family of four, it dropped by 12.4 percentage points.

Since workplace health insurance steadily declined over the decade, the report’s authors said it’s unlikely that the health care law contributed to the trend.

“The report documents a decline that has been occurring steadily since well before the ACA’s passage in 2010,” said Julie Sonier of the University of Minnesota’s State Health Access Data Assistance Center, which prepared the report.

“In addition, the major coverage provisions of the ACA will not go into effect until 2014.”

New pool projected to have size of 1,100 bather loads • PARK Continued from page A1 For months, the board has been deliberating on replacing Hopkins Pool. The pool is nearing the end of its 40-year life span, and schematics on the final product have been presented to the public.

The new pool is projected to have a size of 1,100 bather loads. The current pool has about 1,400 bather loads. To pay for the pool, the district would borrow $5 million and repay it without raising

taxes. However, the commissioners-elect have each said they felt the project needs to slow down.

Capek noted in an interview before the meeting that any park board always can choose to stop the pool replacement project altogether, stating the board sets district policy.

Hanson disagreed with Mason’s motion to table the approval of the construction firm. She said she has spent five of her eight years on the board dealing with the pool issue, and she felt she earned

Official: Illinois’ human services staff too lean

By REGINA GARCIA CANO The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois Department of Human Services staff is so lean that caseworkers spend an average of only 42 minutes a year per family, the agency’s chief said Thursday.

Human Services Secretary Michelle Saddler told lawmakers that the agency needs money to hire additional workers in order for the agency to keep their “noses above water.” The number of caseworkers has shrunk nearly 20 percent in the past seven years, according to agency numbers, while the number of people seeking assistance jumped by 47 percent.

Saddler is pushing for 600 additional caseworkers, including 100 new employees proposed by Gov. Pat Quinn in his budget plan for the fiscal year that begins July 1. The new

Official pleads guilty in Ill. tainted water case

By MICHAEL TARM The Associated Press CHICAGO – A longtime suburban Chicago water official pleaded guilty Thursday to lying about drawing drinking water from a tainted well – the first conviction in a scandal that left village residents fearing for their health.

Frank Scaccia, 61, stood before a federal judge in Chicago with his hands folded as he pleaded guilty to one count of engaging in a false-statement scheme. He faces a maximum prison term of up to five years, though prosecutors planned to seek less than that.

Speaking in a hushed, calm voice, the heavyset Scaccia admitted he had lied about piping in polluted water for decades to supplement Crestwood’s supply from Lake Michigan.

In one of a series of questions before she accepted the guilty plea, U.S. District Judge Joan Gottschall asked Scaccia if a public official – who she did not name – had asked him to mix in the pollute water.

“I was following directives,” he said haltingly.

“Following directives. But you did do it?” she asked again.

“Yes, your honor,” he responded.

Officials drew the tainted water for 20 years until 2008 after environmental officials warned in the mid-1980s that cancer-causing chemicals had

oozed into the well, prosecutors said.

It was apparently designed as a money-saving measure: Officials saved the village of 11,000 nearly $400,000 annually by mixing in contaminated water with the cleaner but pricier lake water, the prosecution alleged.

Pending lawsuits blame the well water for a variety of illnesses. A 2010 health department report did find cancer rates were higher than average in Crestwood, but it didn’t make a definite link to the tainted water.

Scaccia also played a role in telling residents in annual consumer reports that the village’s only source of drinking water was Lake Michigan when he and other officials knew that wasn’t true, prosecutors said.

Scaccia changed his plea just days before his trial was slated to begin in the same courtroom. The trial for his co-defendant – another former water official, Theresa Neubauer – is scheduled for April 22.

At Thursday’s hearing, Scaccia told the judge he was on anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medication, but he assured her he was thinking clearly and able to enter a plea.

No sentencing date was immediately set for Scaccia. Prosecutors said Thursday they’ll ask for a term of up to around two years, while a defense attorney said he will argue probation is appropriate.

8LOCAL BRIEF Bids awarded for pair of local road projects Gov. Pat Quinn announced Thursday that $1.4 million in work contracts have been approved for two local road projects.

A $898,000 project to widen Bethany Road between North First Street and Meadow Trail West in DeKalb was awarded to Elliot & Wood Inc. of DeKalb, according to a news release.

The project will include a bike path and changes to the traffic

signals.

Another project will replace part of a bridge over the Kishwaukee River on Township Road 61 about 1.3 miles west of Route 23. The $548,291 project was awarded to Sjostrom & Sons Inc., the release stated.

The projects are part of Quinn’s $31 billion Illinois Jobs Now! construction program, which is estimated to support more than 439,000 over six years.

Only consistent state payment remaining is general state aid • FUNDING Continued from page A1 “There is no building it back up,” Shortridge said of using reserves. “Even with a reduction in spending, I don’t know that you ever could in the world we live in.”

Even when the district receives the property tax payment, Shortridge said the state will skip an aid payment in July, leaving districts to burn through the local funds faster. There are 22 annual General State Aid payments.

Andrea Gorla, assistant superintendent of business for DeKalb School District 428, said because fund balances are often referred to as “reserves,” some people have a misunderstanding of where the money should be dedicated.

She said the money cannot be viewed as reserves that can

help restore or add programs, but must be used as a last resort to make up for shortfalls in providing vital services, such as transportation and payroll as the state continues to cut back funding levels and delay payments.

“It is not at all a rainy day fund,” she said. “The state has so many delayed payments, which means school districts need the cash on hand or need to do some sort of interim borrowing.”

The only consistent state payment remaining, Shortridge said, is general state aid. If those payments were delayed even slightly, it could mean major problems for districts such as Genoa-Kingston, which has enough cash to operate for six months under a worst-case scenario.

“That would be really scary,” Shortridge said. “I can’t even think about that.”

ical and financial assistance, child care services and other programs.

As of December, the agency’s 1,870 case managers were handling 1.75 million cases. That’s nearly 560,000, or 47 percent, more than in 2006, before the recession hit and the department had 2,315 caseworkers.

“DHS needs a more realistic staffing,” Saddler said. “Some caseworkers are handling up to 2,600 cases.”

The 42-minute calculation is based on 1,800 work-hours per year per caseworker handling 2,600 files, an agency spokeswoman said.

Saddler’s testimony came before a House appropriations committee, and disconcerted some lawmakers.

“The situation is unacceptable,” said Rep. Greg Harris. “We need to be sure to have the manpower to process these applications in a timely fashion because people are going without health care [and] their fam-

ilies are going without food because the burden on the workers is just too much.”

Harris, a Chicago Democrat, is chairman of the committee that will make a recommendation on the agency’s budget. He said the department also needs a technology upgrade – allowing, for example, people to submit assistance applications and other information online.

“People won’t have to sit and wait for an appointment with a caseworker or leave a voicemail and hope that somebody will call them back,” he said.

The agency is scheduled to lose 500 employees – none of them caseworkers – by the coming fiscal year.

Saddler is proposing putting caseworkers in those 500 positions.

But Republican Rep. Patricia Bellock of Hinsdale worries that the 600 new caseworkers won’t be enough should the General Assembly ap-

prove a federally subsidized expansion of Medicaid – the government health program for the poor and disabled. Estimates show that hundreds of thousands additional Illinois residents could become eligible under the planned expansion.

“People need to get seen because they’re the most vulnerable population,” Bellock said. “But if you take another half a million people, you’re going to have to double that workforce.”

Yet, Bellock warned, the state’s fiscal condition does not have room for that many new caseworkers.

A measure that would authorize the Medicaid enrollment increase cleared the Senate in February, and officials expect the House to vote on the issue before the Legislature adjourns in May. Quinn has proposed increasing the department’s funding 8 percent to $6.3 billion for next fiscal year.

Gun control bill clears first hurdle

By ALAN FRAM The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Congress’ most serious gun-control effort in years cleared its first hurdle Thursday as the Senate pushed past conservatives’ attempted blockade under the teary gaze of families of victims of December’s Connecticut school shootings.

The bipartisan 68-31 vote rebuffed an effort to keep debate from even starting, giving an early victory – and perhaps political momentum – to President Barack Obama and his gun control allies. Four months after 20 first-graders and six staffers at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown were killed, relatives watching the vote from a gallery overlooking the Senate floor dabbed at tears and clasped hands, some seeming to pray.

Even so, few supporters of the legislation are confident of victory. Several weeks of emotional, unpredictable Senate debate lie ahead, and a mix of gun-rights amendments, opposition from the National Rifle Association and skepticism from House Republican leaders leave big questions about what will emerge from Congress. Foes of the proposed new restrictions say they would penalize law-abiding citizens and do nothing to curb gun violence.

“The hard work starts now,” said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., who brought the legislation to the floor for debate.

Still, in a Congress marked by a notable lack of cooperation between Democrats and Republicans,

An unidentified man walks past thousands of grave markers erected in a mock cemetery on the National Mall on Thursday in Washington, to honor the victims of gun violence.

Thursday’s vote was one of several displays of unusual rapport across party lines. In other examples not connected to the issue of guns: • Negotiators for the two parties said they had reached agreement on the major elements of a Senate immigration bill they’re expected to unveil next week.

• The top Republican in government, House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio, publicly disagreed with his party campaign chairman’s criticism of Obama’s budget proposal to trim future Social Security and Medicare benefits. Wednesday night, GOP senators left a White House dinner praising Obama for reaching out to them on his budget.

• Senators of both parties had a rare joint luncheon to honor Arizona Sen. John McCain, the GOP’s 2008 presidential nominee, on the 40th anniversary of his release

from a North Vietnamese prison.

Hoping to bring pressure on Congress to act on gun control, supporters of new restrictions have been demonstrating in Washington.

They have erected a mock graveyard with thousands of crosses on the National Mall, symbolizing victims of gun violence.

The Senate’s firearms bill would subject nearly all gun buyers to background checks, add muscle to federal laws barring illicit firearm sales and provide slightly more money for school safety measures.

Excluded and facing near-certain defeat in upcoming votes were proposals to ban military-style weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines – factors in the Newtown killings some other recent mass shootings.

But keeping those provisions out of the current legislation

did not mollify critics.

Opponents said the remaining proposals were unwarranted intrusions on the Second Amendment right to bear arms, would be ignored by criminals and would do little to prevent future Newtowns. Obama’s plans have received scant support from Republicans and many moderate Democrats, with many saying they prefer improvements in dealing with the mentally ill and stronger enforcement of existing laws.

“I’m not interested in a symbolic gesture which would offer the families of the Sandy Hook shootings no real solutions that they seek,” said Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, the Senate’s No. 2 Republican.

Congress hasn’t approved major gun restrictions since enacting an assault weapons ban 19 years ago, a prohibition that lawmakers let lapse after a decade.

Winners face challenging road ahead

8LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Thanks to supporters, good luck to Rey To the Editor: Congratulations to John Rey. While this was not the outcome we had hoped for, I am very proud of the Groce for Mayor Campaign.

I am grateful for the many experiences I have gained and important lessons learned. In that regard, I won as well.

I want to thank all the volunteers who worked tirelessly for our campaign and all the generous supporters who donated.

I also want to thank everyone who voted for me.

I am honored.

We ran a very ethical campaign and focused on key policy issues. We drove an important dialogue that I know the three other candidates became aware of and started to discuss.

Issues of crime, living wage jobs, housing and working more closely with NIU remain, and I hope to be able to further those efforts by supporting John and all the newly elected leaders.

Each of the mayoral candidates got to know one another fairly well over the past few weeks, and I think we all appreciate the dedication we have for DeKalb.

Now we must show our continued dedication by supporting John as our new mayor and working together as a community to make DeKalb stronger.

I wish John the very best and know he will work hard for DeKalb.

I encourage the community ot reach out to John to offer your support and willingness to help.

We cannot lose sight of this critical moment for our community.

There is much to do at hand to move DeKalb forward and it will require all of us working together.

Thank you again for the many kind words, generous support and endless dedication. This is only the beginning.

I am a lucky woman and am excited to continue to be involved in the future of NIU and DeKalb.

Go DeKalb!

System’s goal is wealth redistribution To the Editor: Normally I do not respond to letters in the paper reacting to letters I have written.

However, print edition re-

sponses can distort positions and take them out of context without the original letter shown.

Therefore, I am responding to Reuben Nelson’s April 4 print edition response to my March 23 letter.

Nelson has his right to use the title, “system rigged to favor rich,” however I believe it is the opposite; our system seeks to redistribute wealth.

Today our system actually favors lower-income workers, giving them many perks and unearned credits, with one big exception: Yes, CEO pay is excessive in many publicly traded companies.

How large public corporations are taxed also is problematic. I agree the tax code favors some special interests. Dividends paid to shareholders, however, are available to any and all investors equally.

People can invest their money, or spend it on anything they want.

We should applaud those who choose to invest though, as we need more, not less, investment.

I am not upset, nor should anyone be, by providing a safety net for the truly needy.

I am troubled though about

its bloated size, caused by too many able-bodied imposters who selfishly game the system.

Yes, taxation is reaching punitive levels, with the top federal income tax rate now 39.6 percent, plus payroll taxes higher now on higher incomes.

Add to that a new 3.8 percent Medicare tax on investment income for some, plus some state income taxes over 13 percent, plus city income taxes for some, property taxes, sales taxes, and many other hidden taxes, added altogether, that become punitive. Deductions also disappear for higher incomes.

Nelson is mistaken in believing that the top 1 percent pay a wage tax rate of 15 percent; that applies only to capital gains and dividends and now that’s also going even higher for some, while staying lower on lower incomes.

Overall, the top 1 percent of earners pay close to 40 percent of all federal income taxes. I believe Nelson’s statement that he is not mean-spirited, guilt-ridden or scornful is probably true, however, many liberals are, and that is unsettling.

Congratulations to the winners in Tuesday’s local elections.

When their terms begin in May, so too will the real work. These are challenging times for many units of our local governments.

Local school districts must confront the prospect of further reductions in state aid, a property tax base that has seen repeated declines in value, and in some cases, negotiations with teachers’ unions. Not to mention the For the record continuing demand for our schools to keep up with The council may be the advances in technology as body that enacts laws and they seek to provide young approves city spending, but people with a quality eduit is the city manager who cation.

The city balance their patrons’ desire manager is the administrafor upgraded or new facilitive and executive head of ties – which in some cases city hall, and can appoint are badly needed – against and remove all city officers with what taxpayers are who are not elected willing to pay to create and officials. maintain them.

In the City of DeKalb, which featured a high-profile four-way race for mayor, there are big changes ahead. Not only will the city have a new mayor in John Rey, it also will have a pair of new City Council members in 2nd Ward Alderman William Finucane and 4th Ward Alderman Robert Snow.

Just as important as the new council members elected Tuesday will be the person selected to replace City Manager Mark Biernacki, who will retire in June. The council may be the body that enacts laws and approves city spending, but it is the city manager who serves as CEO. The city manager is the administrative and executive head of city hall, and can appoint and remove all city officers who are not elected officials.

In other words, the person chosen to take Biernacki’s place will have as much if not more ability to make changes in how the government operates as Rey, Finucane, Snow or the other council members. The city’s police and fire chiefs, public works and other staff members are accountable first to the city manager.

As was noted by many candidates during the election, there also is change coming at Northern Illinois University, where Douglas Baker will take over as president in July. The fate of the city, and in some ways the broader area, is intertwined with that of the university.

If DeKalb does not continue to upgrade its housing stock and commercial areas, fewer students will be interested in coming to learn here, and NIU will not thrive.

If the university does not thrive, employment and economic activity in DeKalb – as well as Sycamore and other areas – will be diminished, and the area at large will suffer.

The City of DeKalb is not the only community in the area with new leadership, of course. Genoa has a new mayor in Mark Vicary, Cortland a new Town President in Russ Stokes, Hinckley in James Roderick and for the first time in more than 20 years, Sandwich has new mayor in Richard Olson.

The list of new leaders in our local communities is long, and each will be charged with helping confront new challenges as they seek to move our communities forward.

Good luck to all the recently elected. We thank you for your willingness to serve and are counting on your good judgment.

You can never be too old to find lasting love It was a hard snow, the kind that stings your face on its way to burying everything in sight.

I stood in front of the kitchen window, warm and dry but for my red, swollen eyes. I wrapped my arms around me and held on tightly as I watched him pitch the shovel into the ground, pound it with his foot and dig up another small scoop of frozen soil.

His face was knotted in concentration, and his hair grew whiter with each passing minute.

My husband did not know I was watching him. He had no idea I was standing on the other side of that snowstorm thinking, “This is what marriage looks like.”

I ask your indulgence as I ponder the wonders of marriage on this, the ninth anniversary of my second chance at love.

Agreed: This column runs in newspapers’ op-ed sections and in political blogs, where my personal happiness is irrelevant to readers.

VIEWS Connie Schultz Further agreed: Any claim I make to marital bliss only serves to annoy those who disagree with me on just about everything.

Nevertheless, consider: We have more in common, you and I, than we might want to believe, especially when we compare the terrain of our beating hearts. Even those who loathe my every opinion want to believe I’m right when I say we are never too old for love.

No need to admit it. Sometimes a woman just knows when she’s pushed the right button.

Man or woman, straight or gay, conservative or liberal, we all need somebody to love and who loves us back. Brad Paisley has it just right when he sings, “Sometimes life ain’t all that pretty when you’re watching it all alone.” No matter

how rough the landscape, the view gets better when you have someone standing next to you, shoulder to shoulder, with a grip on your hand and a hold on your heart.

Nine years ago this week, I did something I swore would never happen again in my life: I walked down the aisle – this time with a grown child on each arm – and promised before God and 130 guests that I’d love forever the man beaming at me from the altar.

It was a second marriage for both of us.

Ohio law required us to present evidence of our failures to the county clerk before she could give us a license to try again. Humbling reminder, that one. We were longtime single parents who knew all the ways a marriage could go wrong.

We are not gay, so, lucky us, we got to give marriage a try. Again.

This injustice is not lost on us. I imagine that my pointing this out means I’m about to lose some of you, but please keep in mind that

the majority of Americans think it’s time to embrace a wider definition of marriage.

May we all live long enough to reap the benefits of a country willing to celebrate so much love.

“Anyone who tells you their rules for a happy marriage doesn’t have one,” Adam Gopnik wrote recently for BBC News Magazine. I promise that you never will get such a list from me. My only suggestion for those of you in a relationship is to imagine regularly what it would be like if your loved one were gone.

So many times in the nine years of this marriage, one of us has turned to the other and said, “Why couldn’t I have met you sooner?” No golden wedding anniversary for us. This single fact reins in arguments and decriminalizes many a human habit.

Our only guarantee: Time will run out.

Sometimes, we feel a sense of urgency about life’s smaller moments.

We listen harder.

And that is why, several weeks

ago, my husband stood out in that snowstorm and dug a grave for my beloved cat, Winnie, who died at home at the age of 18.

I had wrapped her body in a baby blanket and lain her in a pretty box in the garage, hoping the weather would soon break so that we could bury her in the backyard.

It was a bad week for snowstorms, and after the third day, I was inconsolable.

“I feel so guilty,” I told Sherrod.

“I know it’s ridiculous, but it just seems so wrong to leave her out there – all alone, in that box.”

He got up from his chair, pulled on his boots and jacket, and headed for the door.

8MORNING KICKOFF

IHSA puts 2 basketball coaches on probation ST. LOUIS – The IHSA put two boys basketball coaches on probation and imposed other sanctions for what the group’s chief called “an ugly and embarrassing incident” during the state championship game last month.

The IHSA’s action Wednesday followed its investigation of events during and after Harrisburg’s victory March 9 over South Holland Seton Academy in the Class 2A championship, marred by what the IHSA said was questionable conduct by a player and an obscene outburst by one coach.

Some of the questioned conduct followed the first-half ejection of Seton Academy’s Mark Weems Jr. after he was whistled for his second technical foul, the last for making contact with an official.

In the tunnel during halftime, IHSA executive director Marty Hickman said Weems’ coach, Brandon Thomas, “delivered an obscenity-laced tirade in the presence of student-athletes,” then initially refused to participate with Harrisburg coach Randy Smithpeters in an effort by tournament officials to quell the situation.

“When [Thomas] eventually appeared, his demeanor made it clear that he would not be a conduit for positive change,” Hickman said. “There is no place for that type of behavior in high school athletics, and no outcome of a high school sporting event warrants it.”

After the game, Hickman said, Thomas snubbed offers of congratulations from the IHSA’s directors and Gov. Pat Quinn, threw the runner-up medal to an assistant, exited the court and had a verbal confrontation with a fan before being restrained by security and police from entering the stands.

“His behavior set a negative tone for the players and fans and contributed to a hostile environment that only grew worse during the first half,” Hickman said.

Hurd pleads guilty to drug charge Former Bears, NIU receiver faces 10 years to life in prison

By NOMAAN MERCHANT The Associated Press DALLAS – Former NFL and Northern Illinois receiver Sam Hurd pleaded guilty Thursday to trying to buy cocaine and marijuana to set up a drug-distribution network, leaving a once-promising career in tatters as he faces a prison sentence of at least 10 years.

Hurd, 27, pleaded guilty in federal court in Dallas to one count of possession of cocaine and marijuana with intent to distribute.

He pleaded guilty days before his trial was scheduled to begin, without any

promise of a more lenient sentence.

He faces 10 years to life in prison when he is sentenced in July.

Standing in an orange jumpsuit, the tall, lanky Hurd leaned into a microphone and asked to address the court.

“I’m sorry for everything I’ve done,” he said in a brief statement, adding that he intended to plead guilty for months and never expected the process to take as long as it did.

Hurd was playing for the Bears in December 2011 – months after signing a contract reportedly

worth more than $5 million – when he attended a meeting at a Chicago-area steakhouse with an undercover officer and a confidential informant. Prosecutors have alleged in court documents that Hurd accepted a kilogram of cocaine from the officer and signaled that he’d be interested in buying large, weekly quantities of cocaine and marijuana.

Hurd was arrested outside the steakhouse and cut by the Bears shortly afterward.

He was released on bond, but was re-arrested in AuAP file photo gust after failing drug tests and being accused of trying Bears receiver Sam Hurd smiles as he signs autographs for fans before trainto arrange another drug ing camp July 31, 2011, at Olivet Nazarene University in Bourbonnais. The former Northern Illinois receiver has pleaded guilty to a drug-possession charge buy.

that likely will result in a lengthy prison sentence. The 27-year-old Hurd pleaded guilty Thursday in Dallas federal court.

“It changes our whole dynamic of our team when you have two pitchers who are pretty equal in talent,” coach Jeff Davis said. “Morgan’s

good, there’s no doubt about it.”

Kowalski hopes to be back to full strength in about two weeks, but she knows she can take all the time she wants to fully return from her injury with Newport working in relief.

The junior has only pitched 13 innings this year because of a recent setback with her shoulder, but Newport has been outstanding in her stead.

The freshman has struck out 40 batters and boasts a 0.88

ERA in 32 innings during DeKalb’s (10-0, 3-0 Northern Illinois Big 12 East) perfect start to the season.

“It’s so nice knowing that I’m able to come back slow from my surgery and work my way back into it,” Kowalski said. “She’s been awesome. ...

I love having her on the team.

It’s really nice to have that second pitcher your team can rely on, and she’s such a good teammate.”

By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press AUGUSTA, Ga. – Sergio Garcia might have written himself off too quickly at the Masters.

When last seen walking off the course at Augusta National, the impetuous Spaniard was moping about his bad luck at this tournament and said last year it was increasingly evident he never would be fitted for a green jacket.

Garcia matched his best

score at the Masters on Thursday, a 6-under-par 66 with no bogeys on his card, to share the lead with Marc Leishman of Australia. And he still wasn’t entirely happy, although this time with good reason. He hit the ball so well his score could have been so much better.

“To tell you the truth, if I manage to make a couple of the putts that kind of stayed around the lip, I could have been probably 7- or 8-under par

8SPORTS SHORTS NIU’s Emory named co-MAC Golfer of the Week Northern Illinois senior Bryce Emory was named co-Mid-American Conference Golfer of the Week after his performance in the Jim West Intercollegiate in McKinney, Texas. The award is his second of the spring, having also received the honors for his fifth-place finish in the Forest Hills Collegiate in early March.

Emory shot even-par over three rounds and earned a twoman playoff with TCU’s Sarosh Adi. The pair played the first two sudden-death holes even before Emory ended it with a 15-foot birdie putt on the par-five 18th.

Jacobs QB visits NIU Jacobs football coach Bill Mitz believed it was only a matter of time before the recruiting buzz started to swarm around Golden Eagles quarterback Bret Mooney.

Consider it started.

Mooney, a 2014 prospect, visited Northern Illinois last week, beginning a recruiting campaign that is expected to include several schools before Mooney makes a final decision. Mooney said he watched one of the Huskies’ spring practices last week and that he has been told by NIU coaches that they plan to offer scholarships to two quarterbacks.

The 6-foot-4, 210-pound Mooney said he also expects several schools to come to Jacobs to watch him throw. Among them are Illinois, Western Michigan, Colgate and perhaps Northwestern.

Police investigating goat head delivered to Wrigley CHICAGO – The Cubs found a severed goat’s head at Wrigley Field on Wednesday, and they’re treating the cruel reference to a longtime curse as a crime.

Chicago police were called in to investigate after a man stopped the white van he was driving, walked a box to a security entrance on Waveland Avenue and wordlessly put it down, Cubs spokesman Julian Green said.

Security workers opened the box, addressed to team owner Tom Ricketts, and discovered the severed head. The team immediately called police.

Cubs’ Soler banned 5 games for wielding bat CHICAGO – Cubs prospect Jorge Soler has been suspended five games for charging the visiting team’s dugout during a Florida State League game with a bat.

Soler was suspended Thursday.

Cubs president of baseball operations Theo Epstein said the organization supports Soler but condemns his actions Wednesday night. Epstein said the Cubs will work to help Soler “better channel his emotions on the field.”

Friedlund returns to give already potent offense a boost

A closer look at the prep softball scene

By STEVE NITZ snitz@shawmedia.com

WHAT TO WATCH FOR Sycamore at Kaneland, 4:30 p.m. Tuesday The Spartans and Knights square off in a key conference matchup for both teams.

Ottawa at DeKalb, 4:30 p.m. Thursday Could be a challenging Northern Illinois Big 12 crossover game for the Barbs.

POWER RANKINGS 1. DeKalb (10-0, 3-0 NI Big 12 East) Barbs have the look of a team that can make a strong playoff run.

2. Kaneland (7-2) Knights lost a tough game against Yorkville on Tuesday.

3. Genoa-Kingston (2-2, 0-1 Big Northern East) Two tough early, extra-inning losses for Cogs.

4. Sycamore (3-6, 0-4 NI Big 12 East) Pitcher Abby Foulk was strong in the Spartans’ loss to Morris on Tuesday.

5. Indian Creek (2-6) Timberwolves with a key game against Newark this afternoon.

6. Hiawatha (2-3) Hawks lost their first three games before taking two straight.

The DeKalb softball team has been crushing the ball all season. One of the Barbs’ latest wins was a 12-1 thrashing of Rochelle.

Jeff Davis’ team remained unbeaten after Thursday’s 3-1 victory against Sycamore, and the coach has been impressed with his lineup. The Barbs not only get on base, but can outslug teams, as well.

Taylor Warner, DeKalb’s No. 9 hitter, is hitting better than .350.

“Hitting, we’ve always had, I thought, a pretty good hitting team.

This year, their slugging numbers are up,” Davis said. “They hit a lot of doubles and triples and extra-base hits.”

The Barbs’ batting order got even stronger recently with the return of Sarah Friedlund, who had been out with a concussion. Friedlund was DeKalb’s leading hitter a year ago.

“She’s our No. 3 hitter and I penciled her in [the three spot Tuesday] because she needs at-bats. She needs to catch up,” Davis said. “She batted third, put the ball in play, hit it OK, but her timing’s a little off.”

Cogs getting valuable experience early Genoa-Kingston has only two

losses this season, and been in extra innings. Ottawa won a nine-inning game against the Cogs and Burlington Central beat them in 10 innings Tuesday. G-K held a 5-0 lead against the Rockets but couldn’t hold on.

Cogs coach Mike Lauer said getting the close-game experience is good early. Burlington Central is with G-K in a tough regional that includes Hampshire, Marengo and Sycamore.

“That could benefit down the road, it’s hard to tell how that will play out,” Lauer said. “Definitely being in that type of atmosphere for extra innings, that could be a good thing come postseason time.

“It’s important to be in those circumstances, especially against teams you’ll be playing in the postseason.”

Defense not a problem for Hawks With the unfortunate weather at the start of the season, most teams weren’t able to hold a ton of preseason practices outside.

Despite not having a lot of real infield practices before the start of the year, errors haven’t been a problem for Hiawatha. Hawks coach David Tamraz estimated his team has only made two errors so far.

The team might not have gotten as much outside work as Tamraz would have liked, but he hit his fair share of grounders in the gym.

“I think our defense speaks for itself,” he said. “I’m a firm believer, you get a couple-run lead, you get big outs. I don’t like big innings. ... One, two runs that’s OK, we can make those up.”

Softball season likely to be longer this year Last spring, the area’s softball season ended pretty early, especially compared to two seasons ago when two of our schools – DeKalb and Sycamore – made it to super-sectionals.

Kaneland was the only school to win a regional title in 2012, and the Knights suffered a 9-1 loss to Sterling in the Class 3A Belvidere North Sectional semifinals.

The Barbs made the big run two years ago, and judging from the early season returns, I think they’re one team that can make another strong post-

VIEWS Steve Nitz season dash in 2013.

DeKalb has great hitting throughout the order, and freshman Morgan Newport has stepped up as a reliable No. 2 starter.

A lot of the Barbs’ success will hinge on the health of junior pitcher Katie Kowalski.

Fans saw what Kowalski could do as a freshman, when she finished with a 2.63 ERA and

208 strikeouts in 160 innings as the Daily Chronicle’s Softball Player of the Year.

Kowalski wasn’t healyhy last season. At times, Kowalski’s pitching hand went numb and swelled. She still is having tests done and DeKalb coach Jeff Davis is trying to gradually increase her innings from now until the end of the season to try to keep her healthy.

If Kowalski’s on, DeKalb is not going to be an easy out, although Davis brought up the fact his team’s in a tough Class 4A Jacobs Regional with CaryGrove, Crystal Lake Central,

Jacobs and Huntley, “They play good softball [in that area] and it’s going to be tough to get out of that regional, to be honest with you,” he said. “Not trying to make excuses for you, but our pitchers have to get healthy.”

It is a tough area, and winning in Class 4A isn’t easy either. But if the Barbs are on, it might take a while for them to lose come playoff time.

But Newport was lights out during her three innings of work. Sycamore coach Jill Carpenter said the differences between the right-handed Kowalski and the left-handed Newport made things especially difficult for the Spartans.

“That’s a good switch,” Carpenter said. “Just when you think you’re getting on them, they switch it up. That’ll be a good tandem for them.”

The Barbs tied the score in the third inning, when senior Hannah Walter drove in Tayler Garland, then took the lead for

Erik Anderson – For Shaw Media

Sycamore’s Tristyn Criswell picks up a ground ball during Thursday’s game against DeKalb at the Huntley Middle School in DeKalb. good in the fifth as Sarah Friedlund drove in Sabrina Killeen.

A sacrifice bunt from Garland allowed Jessica Townsend to score in the sixth inning before Newport slammed the door in the bottom of the inning.

The Barbs weren’t thrilled with their offensive perfor-

mance, but even on those days when the hits aren’t coming, Davis knows the Barbs will be able to pull out wins.

“With those two pitchers that we’ve got, we can win these 2-1, 3-1 ball games,” Davis said. “I’ll get a little gray hair, but a win’s a win.”

Hurd with Bears in 2011 Tianlang, 14, shoots a 73 • HURD Continued from page B1 Jay Ethington, one of Hurd’s attorneys, said after court Thursday that his client was “an extensive marijuana user,” which may have contributed to his involvement in trafficking. Ethington also blamed “parasites,” including two former co-defendants who have pleaded guilty, for drawing Hurd into criminal activity.

“Here’s a young fellow that had his whole life ahead of him,” Ethington said, adding that Hurd was active in charity work on his own. “Now that’s all gone.”

Hurd, a native of San Antonio, played college football at NIU and then five seasons with the Dallas Cowboys before signing a three-year contract with the Bears in 2011. He mostly had played on special teams, playing in 77 games overall with six starts and two career touchdowns.

Teammates and coaches were shocked by his arrest.

According to documents filed by prosecutors, Hurd agreed to purchase up to 10 kilograms of cocaine for $25,000 per kilogram and asked for up to 1,000 pounds of marijuana a week.

Ethington suggested to reporters that those figures were exaggerated.

• MASTERS Continued from page B1 through 10,” Garcia said. “It was that good. And it wasn’t like I was hitting pitching wedge every single time. I was hitting 4-irons and 5-irons and 6-irons, so it wasn’t that easy.”

It sure felt easy for several players in a gentle opening round – even for an eighth-grader.

Guan Tianlang, the 14-yearold from China and youngest to compete in a major in 148 years, played well beyond his age and holed a 15-foot putt from just off the 18th green for a respectable round of 73 and a reasonable

chance of making the cut.

Tiger Woods wasn’t far off as he began his quest for a fifth green jacket. Wild at the start, including a tee shot that knocked a cup of beer out of a spectator’s hand, Woods settled into a groove and opened with a 70 as his girlfriend, Olympic ski champion Lindsey Vonn, watched on a few holes.

In his four Masters wins, Woods has never opened with a score lower than 70. His key is not to shoot himself out of the tournament.

“It’s a good start,” he said.

“Some years, some guys shot 65 starting out here. But right now, I’m only four back and I’m right there.”

BULLS 118, KNICKS 111 (OT)

Bulls bust another streak

By ANDREW SELIGMAN

Next

The Associated Press CHICAGO – Nate Robinson scored a season-high 35 points and the Bulls stopped another lengthy winning streak, rallying to beat New York, 118-111, in overtime Thursday night and end the Knicks’ 13-game run.

Robinson came up big down the stretch, scoring eight points in the extra period.

Jimmy Butler added 22 points, Luol Deng scored 16 and the Bulls busted a long streak for the second time in about a two-week span, ending the Miami Heat’s 27-game run – the second-longest in NBA history – on March 27.

They put the Knicks’ longest streak in nearly two decades to rest with a huge surge

at Toronto, 6 p.m. today, WCIU, AM-1000 in the second half, offsetting Carmelo Anthony’s 36 points.

Robinson started overtime with a threepoint play to give the Bulls a 108-105 lead, and after Anthony scored, the Bulls startNate Robinson ed to pull away.

Deng nailed a 3-pointer, and Robinson hit a free throw after J.R. Smith got called for a technical foul with 2:09 remaining for arguing a noncall against Deng on a missed drive. The Bulls guard

then drove for a layup to make it 114-107, and they hung on from there.

The Bulls trailed by as much as 17 and were down 7964 in the third quarter before going on a big run to get back into it.

They were even up by nine – 99-90 – after a 3 by Robinson and layup by Butler with 5:42 remaining, but they did not get another basket in regulation.

The Knicks finally tied it at 105 with 14.5 seconds left when a driving Anthony got fouled by Butler and hit both free throws.

Deng then missed an off-balance fadeaway bank shot with 1.5 seconds left in regulation.

New York’s Raymond Felton grabbed the rebound, and after a 20-second timeout, Anthony’s long jumper hit the rim and it went into overtime.

GIANTS 7, CUBS 6

Cubs squander 5-run lead The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – Starlin Castro was too quick in the field while Scott Feldman was too slow.

Partly because of those problems on defense Thursday, the Cubs gave away a fiverun lead in a 7-6 loss to the San Francisco Giants.

With runners on first and third and two outs in the fourth inning, Giants pitcher Ryan Vogelsong hit a grounder to shortstop. Castro rushed the play and botched it, allowing San Francisco to Next score its first vs. San Fran- run.

Feldman (0-2) cisco, 1:20 p.m. today, was slow to cover CSN, AM-720 first base on Angel Pagan’s chopper to the right side, handing the Giants another run on Pagan’s infield single. Brandon Crawford was hit by a pitch, loading the bases, and Pablo Sandoval’s two-run double cut it to 5-4.

Feldman allowed a single to Brandon Belt and walked Gregor Blanco after getting one out in the fifth. Hisanori Takahashi relieved and Nick Noonan singled to load the bases. Vogelsong walked to force in a run and Pagan put the Giants ahead with a sacrifice fly. Crawford then singled in a run to make it 7-5.

The defensive miscues clearly annoyed Cubs manag-

Check out Meghan Montemurro’s analysis of Thursday’s game and her Cubs notes online at Daily-Chronicle.com. er Dale Sveum, whose team gave up four unearned runs and three hits to Noonan, the No. 8 batter in the lineup. In addition to Takahashi walking the opposing pitcher with the bases loaded, Feldman twice struggled to cover first base.

“Yeah, you spend hours and hours on it for 45 days of spring training and then to have the lapses in games when it counts,” Sveum said. “It

costs you games, it costs you pitches, it costs you not being able to go five innings.”

Handed a 5-0 cushion after three innings, Feldman couldn’t hold the lead against the World Series champions and lost his second straight decision to start the season. He gave up six runs – two earned – and seven hits in 4⅓ innings. He walked three and struck out three.

“The offense came out and threw five up there quick for me and I would have loved to keep going and put some zeros up there,” Feldman said. “But I ran into some trouble there in that one inning and threw too many pitches and they were able to claw a few across.”

Nationals sweep White Sox

By HOWARD FENDRICH

Next

The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Ryan Zimmerman delivered a tworun double after Bryce Harper was intentionally walked in the fourth inning, and the Washington Nationals beat the White Sox, 7-4, on a windy Thursday night to cap a threegame sweep.

Dan Haren (1-1) got the win despite allowing 10 hits in five innings.

With the score tied at 3 in the fourth, Haren helped himself by doubling off Dylan

at Cleveland, 6:05 p.m. today, WGN, AM-670

Axelrod (0-1) and eventually scoring on a wild pitch with two outs. The Sox then put Harper on base on purpose, but the move didn’t work: Cleanup hitter Zimmerman lined a double to right on Axelrod’s 103rd – and final – pitch of the evening.

That put Washington

ahead 6-3, and relievers Ryan Mattheus, Tyler Clippard and Rafael Soriano made it hold up.

After Harper drove in an insurance run in the eighth, Soriano pitched the ninth for his fifth save in six chances, and third this series.

Washington, 6-0 at home and 7-2 overall, opens a threegame set today against visiting NL East rival Atlanta.

The Braves are on a six-game winning streak and own a major league-best 8-1 record. It’s their best start since opening 13-1 in 1994.

Waterman church works to raise awareness about human trafficking

O

By JEFF ENGELHARDT

jengelhardt@shawmedia.com

ut of sight, out of mind is longer acceptable for Sue Hipple.

Hipple, administrator for Women of the Word, hopes to shed light on one of the most rampant global crimes with a forum on human trafficking and the need to reach out to the victims. The program, titled “The Garden of Renewal and HOPE,” will feature expert speakers who have gone on missionary trips to Thailand, people who have experienced the trauma in their families and organizations that work to save the women.

The event takes place Thursday at 7 p.m. at Waterman Presbyterian Church.

“We know it’s an unusual topic but it’s also very timely,” Hipple said. “There are 1.2 million people affected every year by sex trafficking.”

Hipple said the problem is huge in areas such as Thailand, but it also happens more than people realize in the United States. A DeKalb woman will be on hand to tell her story of how her granddaughters got caught in trafficking, Hipple said.

If you go What: Women of the Word program, “The Garden of Renewal and HOPE,” on human trafficking When: 7 p.m. Thursday Where: Waterman Presbyterian Church, 250 N. Cedar St., Waterman Program information: Contact Sue at 815264-3979 or sjhipple23@gmail.com Jewelry information: www.nightlightinternational.com

Allison Kingsbury, children’s program director at River Valley Community Church in Aurora, also will be at the event to speak about her missionary work with trafficking victims in Bangkok.

Like the United States, Kingsbury said it can be a difficult problem to see despite its prevalence.

“It’s definitely shocking, but you can go there and completely miss it at the same time,” Kingsbury said. “They do a good job of making it seem not as bad as it is.”

Kingsbury said she does most of her work through Samaritan’s Creations – a year-round missionary based in Thailand dedicated to helping women in prostitution learn work skills

and pursue an alternative form of income.

It can be one of the most frustrating missionaries, Kingsbury said, because trafficking has become part of the country’s fabric.

“It’s definitely a huge problem and you can definitely feel defeated because it is just entrenched in the culture,” she said. “It’s two steps forward and one step back.”

Residents who attend the event also will learn how they can get involved and help fight the problem. Items from Nightlight International, a missionary that gives women in trafficking an opportunity to make jewelry and other products while learning entrepreneurial skills, will be on sale and information on how to give to organizations who help victim will be available.

While it is a gloomy and taboo subject, Hipple said the event would still center on Women of the Word’s true mission, which is instilling hope for a better future with the help of Jesus Christ.

“These women struggle with guilt and so many things with the atrocities that have happened to them,” Hipple said. “But in Christ, these women have hope to come out and change their lives and have freedom in Him.”

Sycamore church sets two concert events

Catholic Daughters set salad bar luncheon

Sycamore United Methodist invites the public to its continuing Jessie Viner Concert Series, starting with Truman’s Ridge at 5 p.m. Saturday.

Truman’s Ridge, a bluegrass group with some local and some international roots, performed the first concert for the church’s Jessie Viner series about five years ago, around the time of the band’s formation. Since then, this blend of instrumentalists and vocalists has played all over a five-state area.

Bruce Wallace, producer of the band and banjo player, said that this concert will be one of the last opportunities to hear bass player Karel Waska. Waska is completing his doctoral studies in geology at Northern Illinois University, and will return to the Czech Republic after he graduates this spring. Waska brings a 20-year blend of bass experience in everything from symphonic orchestras to gypsy jazz in France.

The other musicians in the band include Steve Waver, guitarist and co-founder of the group, and Mark Flower, mandolin and fiddle. There will be a free-will

offering for the band, and refreshments will be served.

The following Saturday and Sunday, the church will feature portions of its active musical program in the Spring Choral Celebration, “The Colors of Your Grace.”

The program, created by music director Bev Rauch, features the Adult Choir, Kid’s Choir, and many instrumentalists, small groups, and soloists. The music is widely varied, including Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” and a jazz gospel piece featuring sax players Jim Selig and Gracia Watson. The popular Good News! quartet, directed by Doug Elder, will share its beautiful harmonies in “We Shall See Jesus.” Atlee Mathews will choreograph the children’s dance team, and Craig Fritz accompanies the Adult Choir.

“The Colors of Your Grace” will be performed at 5 p.m. April 20 and at 8:30 and 10 a.m., April 21. The church is located at 160 Johnson Ave. in Sycamore.

For more information, call the church office at 815-895-9113, or visit the church website at www.sycamoreumc.org.

Prisoner regretting his past can’t see future Dear Abby: I’m a 50-year-old man who is serving time for robbery in West Virginia. Every day I wake up acting as if I am in control and don’t have a care in the world. The truth is, I’m scared, lonely and feel totally helpless. All my life I have lived on the dark side of the street, taking for granted the values in life and the love so many people tried to give me.

Two failed marriages and several relationships with good women are over because of my determination to follow an unhealthy dream, not to mention all the friends I have lost as well.

Now as I look around me, there’s no one there. No one to love and no one to love me.

I never knew until now that chasing that dream would cost me everyone I ever loved.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips I know I have made bad choices in life. I deserve the time for the crime I committed. But am I also sentenced to a world of loneliness? Can I ever be loved again and be happy after all the wrong I have done? Is there someone out there who would be willing to give me a chance? Is it too late to start over?

Abby, you have so many answers for so many people, I am just hoping you have an answer for me. – Serving Time Dear Serving Time: It is never too late to start over. With penitence comes redemption.

If you are willing to journey

down a different path, the relationships you form along the way will be rewarding, long-lasting and mutual. Because of your criminal record you may have to work harder to gain trust, but I promise you that if you’re willing to work at it, it can be done.

Dear Abby: My ex-husband, the father of our two children, was retired from the Air Force. He passed away 18 years ago. He had a full military funeral, with draped flag and all. His wife at the time was presented with the flag, which was proper. They had no children.

When she passes on, would it be proper for her family to give the flag to his biological children? After all, they were with him – as was I – throughout his entire 22-year military career. When my daughter

mentioned it to his wife, she got angry. – C. In Texas Dear C.: Your former husband’s wife was entitled to whatever property was left after his demise. The flag is hers to bestow – or not. I don’t know how your daughter’s request was phrased, but the woman may have been offended by the way the question was asked. I can’t think of any other reason she would become angry.

Dear Abby: I am writing regarding a letter you printed Jan. 26 from “Wants to Be Polite.” I appreciate the person’s sentiments because I, too, want to use good manners and a “You’re welcome” or “Have a nice day” is a pleasing reply to hear.

What I do NOT like is a “No problem” reply to a “Thank you.” It does not

seem like a sincere response to me. In fact, it sounds like I was expected to be a problem and just happened not to be one. Any thoughts on this? – Arkansas Lady Dear Arkansas Lady: You may not like hearing it, but you had better get used to it.

While “You’re welcome” may be more gracious, saying “No problem” reflects a generational shift in the vernacular. And while it may seem jarring, it is intended to be a polite response, so accept it graciously.

Breast-feeding helps to protect from illness Dear Dr. K: What are the benefits of breast-feeding?

And if I do decide to breastfeed, how will I know if my baby is getting enough milk?

Dear Reader: Breast milk provides all the calories and nutrients that a baby needs for the first six months of life. It also helps protect babies from illnesses such as ear infections, lung infections, vomiting and diarrhea. That’s because for the first months of life, a baby’s immune system is not fully developed. Breast milk contains antibodies that the mother has made, plus several other infection-fighting substances and cells.

There is some evidence that breast milk may also help protect against sudden

ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff infant death syndrome, although why that might be so is not clear.

Babies of mothers who breast-feed are somewhat less likely to develop obesity, cancer, heart disease and Type 1 diabetes when they become adults.

Please don’t misunderstand: I’m not saying that babies who bottle-feed will get these diseases, just that breast-feeding may slightly reduce the risk that babies will develop these diseases when they become adults.

Breast milk is easier for

babies to digest than formula.

Exclusively breast-feeding for the first six months may help prevent food allergies.

Breast-feeding also may help with brain development and learning.

There are also practical advantages to breast-feeding.

It’s convenient, costs less than formula and does not need to be prepared.

That being said, some women choose not to breastfeed for medical or personal reasons. Infant formula does contain all the nutrients a baby needs for normal growth. Millions of perfectly healthy babies have been raised on bottled infant formula.

If you do decide to breastfeed, it can be hard to judge

how much milk your baby takes in at each feeding. But there are several signs that your baby is getting enough milk: • Wet diapers. Your baby should have at least one to two wet diapers for the first two days. After that, your baby should have four to six wet diapers per day.

• Stools. During the first week, your baby should have two or more stools per day.

After that, the number of stools should increase to four or more per day.

• Milk supply. Two to four days after delivery, your milk should “come in.” Your breasts will feel larger, firmer and warmer as they fill with milk before each feeding.

They’ll get smaller and softer

after your baby has nursed.

• Feedings. Your baby should feed at least eight times every 24 hours. Most newborns nurse every one and a half to three hours.

After feeding, your baby should seem satisfied and will probably fall asleep.

• Weight. After the first week of life, your newborn should steadily gain weight.

If one or more of these signs indicate that your baby might not be getting enough milk, talk to your pediatrician.

Your close friend and you need to have a talk Dr. Wallace: I’m 16 and so is my closest friend, Maria.

We have been friends ever since we were in first grade together. My mother and father are excellent parents.

They don’t let me do everything that I want to do, but they do give me the freedom to make most of my own decisions. Maria’s parents are very strict. They don’t allow her to date or even to have a boyfriend. She is a beautiful girl, but they don’t allow her to wear clothes that are in style. Tight jeans, low-cut jeans and low-cut shirts are

8ASTROGRAPH

By BERNICE BEDE OSOL Newspaper Enterprise Association

TODAY – It looks like your circumstances will improve in the year ahead. First and foremost, you could be unusually lucky in most of your moneymaking ventures, as well as generally fortunate in all of your dealings.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Commercial involvements continue to look pretty good for you, so give this area top priority, even if you have other developments calling for your attention.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Don’t let a project of personal importance be taken out of your hands. If your leadership is challenged, try to make your antagonist work with you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Although your ambitions will be easily stimulated, the urge to achieve them might be lacking.

Chances are this will be due to a lack of self-confidence.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – If you want your friends to treat you well, you must first project warmth toward them. They’ll be analyzing your level of commitment, as you’ll be checking out theirs.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – The best way to enhance your image is by letting others know how easygoing you are. One way to do that is not to take life too seriously.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – You’re likely to find an opening to discuss a serious matter with a close pal. It’ll be an issue that demands attention, so you shouldn’t miss this chance.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Someone you’ve helped in the past has been looking out for your interests, even though you’ve said nothing to him or her about your troubles. Prepare for some pleasant surprises.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – This can be a very pleasant day if you take a middle-of-the-road attitude and allow destiny to take its course. You’ll know how to adjust to new circumstances with ease.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Try to spend a little time outdoors, engaging in an activity that stimulates you mentally and physically. You don’t have to engage in anything that is too strenuous, just make sure it’s fun.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – One of your greatest attributes is an ability to effectively manage others. Your pure motives and impeccable skill will be clear to your colleagues.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Associates will be impressed by the example you set: self-assured, calm and at peace with the world. It will help put others in the same frame of mind.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – If you are restless, a change of scenery could help immensely. Strolling through places where you can unobtrusively observe others might fill the bill.

a Friday or Saturday night.

That’s when she and I go to a movie that is approved by her parents or to a school function. Now comes the sticky problem. My parents take Maria and me to all movies and activities. But when we go to a movie or function, Kevin is notified and he shows up and he and Maria take off in his car and are gone for a little over an hour. She always returns before the function ends. So far she has never been late, thank goodness.

The thing that bothers

8SUDOKU

my conscience is that her parents like and trust me and when Maria takes off with Kevin, I feel somewhat responsible. What do you think? – Nameless, Miami, Fla. Nameless: This is indeed a sticky situation. Maria is using you to get around her parents’ strict rules, implicating you in the deception. All you get is a guilty conscience and the chance to go to the movies alone, while she and Kevin have their surreptitious date.

I know you’re simply try-

BRIDGE Phillip Alder

ing to help your friend have a normal social life, but this way is not acceptable. Maria and you need to have a talk.

Maria needs to understand that she has to find a different way to get together with her boyfriend if she wants to continue sneaking behind her mother’s back.

8CROSSWORD

Do not forget to count the points Virginia Woolf said, “On the outskirts of every agony sits some observant fellow who points.”

It is a sad fact of bridge that it does not matter how great your bidding might be. If you do not make the contract, the opponents get points.

In this deal, how should South plan the play in four hearts? West leads the spade king. East overtakes with his ace and returns his second spade. West takes this trick, cashes the club ace, and plays another club.

When West’s one-spade opening bid was passed around to South, his balancing three-heart jump overcall was intermediate, showing a respectable six-card suit and 14 to 16 high-card points.

North would no doubt have bid four hearts anyway, but West’s three-spade rebid definitely pushed him into it. East let the prevailing vulnerability dissuade him from bidding four spades. (Note that four spades doubled goes down two, minus 500.)

Declarer must play the heart suit without loss. If the opponents had passed throughout, South would have taken the finesse. (A priori, East will have the heart king 50 percent of the time, but West will have a singleton king only 13 percent of the time.) Here, though, South must remember the bidding.

East passed over his partner’s opening bid and has already produced the spade ace. If he also had the heart king, he would have had seven points and would have responded.

Therefore, West has the king of hearts. South should play a heart to his ace and claim when the king luckily drops.

Especially when an opponent opened, always check the high-card points.
