FAREWELL GALA FOR RETIRING PRESIDENT
NIU celebrates Peters
By JILLIAN DUCHNOWSKI jduchnowski@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – A political argument that started on Facebook ended with a Sycamore man being stabbed in the chest and cut on the hand early Sunday, authorities said. A 21-year-old Sycamore man sent Robert A. Church, 24, of the 1400 block of Larson Street in Sycamore, a Facebook message about 4:30 a.m. Sunday indicating he wanted to beat him after the two had debated political issues online, authorities said. Church provided the younger man his address, court records show. When the victim showed up at Church’s home, the two men wrestled. When the victim saw Church Robert A. had a knife in Church each hand, he asked: “Are you serious?” Church sliced the victim’s hand as they struggled over the knives, court records show. Church swung a knife at the younger man’s neck, missed and suggested the victim leave, court records indicate. When he didn’t, Church stabbed the man in the chest, puncturing his lung, court records show. The victim had a friend take him to Kishwaukee Community Hospital, where he was in good condition Monday morning, police said. Church told police that he never feared for his life and that he prepared the knives for the fight before the victim arrived at his home, court records show. Church was charged with two counts of aggravated battery, which typically is punishable with probation or up to five years in prison. Church was sentenced April 22 to 18 months of conditional discharge, or nonreporting probation, and 240 hours of public service for driving drunk in April 2012, court records show. His bail was set at $50,000, which requires posting $5,000 for release while the new case is pending. He is next due in court Wednesday. The investigation in ongoing, but no charges had been filed against the victim Monday, Sycamore Police Lt. Darrell Johnson said.

Northern Illinois University departing president John Peters greets staff at the farewell celebration Monday held in his honor. He will retire June 30.
Leader remembered for student focus, response to tragedy By DAVID THOMAS dthomas@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Julie Konczyk thinks that Northern Illinois University President John Peters was focused on students. Starting as an undergraduate student in 2003, and now as the credit coordinator in the College of Liberal Arts and Science, Konczyk remembers when she first met Peters at a football game in 2006. “You’d see him and he’d shake your hand and just always be very open, despite obviously being a very busy man,” Konczyk said. “... You got that sense that he wanted to talk to you.” Konczyk was among the 200 or so people who attended Monday’s farewell ceremony for NIU’s outgoing 11th president. Peters will retire June 30. Students, alumni, university officials and community leaders flocked to the event that featured some of Peters’ colleagues reflecting on his time at the university. Speakers included Robert Boey, the vice chairman of NIU’s Board of Trustees, and Ray Alden, NIU’s executive
vice president and provost. Speakers praised the changes that have occurred since Peters became president in 2000. They mentioned the university’s True North fundraising campaign, which brought in more than $180 million, and the construction of campus buildings including Barsema Hall and the new residence hall. They remembered Peters’ character and leadership in handling the Feb. 14, 2008, shooting on campus. A former NIU student walked into Room 101 of Cole Hall shortly after 3 p.m. that day, and opened fire, killing five students, and injuring at least 16 others before killing himself. How Peters reacted to the tragedy stood out to Laura Gallagher, a sophomore mechanical engineering major. “I love how he brought [the university] back from that tragedy ... to make NIU stronger and show how much NIU cares,” Gallagher said. And it made an impression on Erin Ortiz, a senior physical therapy major, who met Peters at an

Peters sits with his granddaughter, Emily, in his lap during the farewell celebration Monday held in his honor. Peters, who led the university for 13 years, will be succeeded by Douglas Baker.

Cullerton: Senate Dems back union-favored pension plan By SARA BURNETT The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – Senate President John Cullerton announced Monday his chamber will move forward with a new union-backed pension reform proposal he says will save Illinois money and is at less risk of being tossed out by the courts than a plan approved by the House last week. The decision creates dueling legislative plans and the
possibility of further delays – or another stalemate – in addressing the nation’s worst state pension crisis. The nearly $100 billion shortfall already is squeezing out other areas of the budget and has prompted credit rating agencies to give Illinois the lowest credit rating of any state in the nation. But Cullerton was optimistic the measure could move smoothly through both chambers, where Democrats hold veto-proof majorities
and where a union-friendly proposal could pick up votes from lawmakers who have opposed other measures. He predicted bipartisan support, and said the proposal that moved through the House last week – sponsored by powerful House Speaker Michael Madigan – was beneficial because it pushed the unions to compromise. “This [union-backed] plan is the best chance for the General Assembly to pass a clearly constitutional proposal that
will save money and avoid an expensive and lengthy court battle,” Cullerton, a Chicago Democrat, said. A Senate committee is expected to take up the measure Wednesday and a vote on the floor could happen Thursday. Madigan would then have to decide whether to call it for a vote in the House. The measure gives workers and retirees a choice of benefit packages. For example, if workers choose to receive health insurance in re-
tirement they would receive smaller cost-of-living increases. Those who choose to keep 3 percent cost-of-living increases compounded annually wouldn’t get health insurance. Current workers would get to choose from three different packages, while public employees who already are retired have two options. Cullerton says under his plan, the annual pension payment would be about $850 million less in 2015 than is currently scheduled. Madigan

says the payment would be about $1.8 billion less under his proposal. But Cullerton insists that Madigan’s plan – which unilaterally cuts benefits – violates a clause in the Illinois Constitution that says pension benefits cannot be reduced. So a court would likely throw out the bill, making the savings essentially zero. He says his plan is safer because offering employees a choice in benefits makes it constitutional.

Meeting a walking, talking history book DeKALB COUNTY LIFE Barry Schrader Since returning to our roots in DeKalb County about six years ago, I have encountered scores of people who have shared their backgrounds, genealogy and historical anecdotes with me, but none stand out more in my mind than the incomparable Don Schoo. When I first met him five years ago, he reminded me of an elderly Mickey Rooney, both in height and demeanor. But after numerous encounters I find him probably the most prolific, knowledgeable and talkative World War II veteran alive today. As my old newspaper colleague Jerry Smith quipped to Don last week: “Since that time your jaw was temporarily frozen shut when they pulled you out of a foxhole during the war, it is probably the last time you were ever shut up …,” all said in jest and with good intentions. If you have met Don or heard him deliver one of hundreds of talks to young and old alike at Kishwaukee College, in school classrooms or at a Memorial Day ceremony, you know what Jerry meant. Even though he’s now 88, Don can rattle off names, dates and battles from World War II as though they were yesterday. Just to highlight some of his record – he fought in the European Theater with the 80th Infantry Division, as a machine gunner most of the time. He also volunteered as a truck driver to

Belatedly in 2005 he was awarded the Knight of the Legion of Honor by the president of France and in 2010 received a medallion from the Buchenwald Camp Survivors Association for his help in rescuing prisoners there. His chestful of war medals include two Bronze Stars, and he earned a Combat Infantry Badge. I can understand why he proudly displays them during his talks and participation in military ceremonies.
He returned to DeKalb in 1945, and in 1947 joined the DeKalb Police Department, where he served for 20 years. Next the city made him manager of the Taylor Airport, and he worked at Northern Illinois University in maintenance until his final retirement. Talking about Memorial Day and what it was intended it to be — a day to honor our war dead as well as remember our forebears, we both agreed people seem to forget about those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for this country. From his youth, Don recalls the all-day activities at cemeteries and throughout main streets, the Gold Star Mothers of the deceased soldiers riding in parades, flowers being placed on graves by Brownies and Girl Scouts while Cub and Boy Scouts, the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars posted flags at each soldier’s grave. Taps always ended the ceremony, which is still the case today. On May 27, veterans’ groups will repeat the annual tribute in each of our communities. Try to spend an hour participating in some way, and if you are lucky you will spot Don Schoo wearing medals. Tell him and all the other veterans, plus today’s soldiers, how much you appreciate them. A handshake or pat on the back is the least we can offer them for enabling us to remain free and safe from tyranny.

8BRIEFS Cook Co. Sheriff proposes county concealed-carry ordinance CHICAGO – Cook County’s sheriff is proposing a countywide concealed-carry ordinance, saying if state lawmakers don’t pass a law by next month as a federal court has ordered, Illinois could turn into the “Wild West.” If lawmakers don’t meet the June 9 deadline set earlier this year by a federal appeals court in its ruling that the state ban on public possession of firearms – the only Tom Dart one in all 50 states – was unconstitutional, Sheriff Tom Dart said, then anyone in the state with a firearm owners identification card could carry a concealed weapon anywhere. The ordinance proposed by Dart would give him the authority to approve or reject licenses to carry concealed guns in Cook County, and would require applicants to pay $300 for the license.
Israeli airstrike in Syria aimed at Iran’s shipment of weapons BEIRUT – From Israel’s perspective, its airstrikes near Damascus were more about Iran than Syria: Tehran’s shipment of guided missiles destroyed in the weekend attacks would have posed a potent threat had the weapons reached Iranian proxy Hezbollah in Lebanon. While Israel says it has no interest
getting involved in the Syrian civil war, it could find itself drawn into the conflict if Syrian leader Bashar Assad’s Iranian patrons continue to use his territory to ship arms to Hezbollah. Repeated Israeli strikes would almost certainly prompt Syrian retaliation, yielding a nightmare scenario in which Israel finds itself in a Syrian morass teeming with jihadi rebels, sectarian hatred and chemical weapons. For the West, it offers another compelling argument that the Syrian war must somehow be brought to an end.
Report: Limo driver says fire took 3 minutes to claim 5 lives REDWOOD CITY, Calif. – First came the tapping. Over the blasting music, limo driver Orville Brown heard someone in the backseat crowd of partying women knock on the partition behind him, saying something about smoke. No smoking allowed, he told them. Then the taps turned to urgent knocks, and someone screamed “Smoke, smoke” and “Pull over!” In just a few fleeting moments, five of the women celebrating a girls’ night out were killed by flames that overtook the luxury car with terrifying speed. From the first tap on the window until the rear of car became an inferno couldn’t have taken more than three minutes, Brown told the San Francisco Chronicle.
Authorities searched for answers Monday, hoping to learn what sparked the blaze and why five of the victims could not escape the fast-spreading flames.
Mass. funeral director considers burial offers for bombing suspect BOSTON – A Massachusetts funeral director said Monday he has received burial offers from out-of-state cemeteries for the body of a Boston Marathon bombing suspect who was killed in a gun battle with police, even as Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s mother told him she wants the body returned to Russia. But Worcester funeral home director Peter Stefan said despite the request, he doesn’t think Russia will take Tsarnaev’s body and he is working on other arrangements. He declined to be more specific. Meanwhile, a friend of the surviving suspect in the bombings was released from federal custody Monday amid a swell of support from family and friends, but was under strict house arrest and only allowed to leave his home to meet with lawyers and for true emergencies. Also, the administrator of the One Fund Boston released the protocol for payouts of the fund, with the families of those who lost loved ones and individuals who suffered double amputations or permanent brain damage in the bombings receiving the highest payments.

Peters’ presidential portrait unveiled at event Subscribe today, • PETERS Continued from page A1 event for incoming NIU freshmen. “Even though they weren’t his kids, he still cared for them,” Ortiz said. Alden, in particular, praised Peters’ wife, Barbara, for her role as the president’s sounding board, confidante, and sometimes, only friend. He described her as playing a crucial role in the memorial after the shooting. “She quietly helped set the tone
for the integrity of that event,” Alden said. The ceremony saw the unveiling of Peters’ official presidential portrait, which will be displayed on the third floor of Altgeld Hall next to the other university presidents’ portraits. Peters walked away from the ceremony with a couple of gifts, too. There was the Orange Bowl ring, given to him by Jon Steinbrecher, the Mid-American Conference commissioner, and a photo collage of him and his wife that NIU staff made. Douglas Baker, the executive vice
president of the University of Idaho, in Moscow, will take over for Peters on July 1, but the outgoing president said he will be around. Peters said he would probably do some guest lectures and help with NIU’s fundraising campaigns. His contract with NIU has him acting as a transition adviser to Baker for the first year, although he described his successor as an extremely able person. “Anything he wants, I can provide,” Peters said. “I know how hard it is when you don’t know anyone here.”

SYCAMORE – The city of Sycamore is honoring its annual commitment to help fund local nonprofit organizations. The Sycamore City Council kicked off its new fiscal year Monday by unanimously approving more than $50,000 in grants between the Voluntary Action Center and the DeKalb County Economic Development Corp. The Voluntary Action Center received $17,000 to assist its TransVAC, MedVAC and Meals on Wheels programs, as well as $20,000 for its Blue Line bus transportation service. Sycamore Mayor Ken Mundy said the city is happy to support an organization that benefits so many residents in need of these programs.
“Those possibilities are all service-related,” he said. “They’re directly related to our citizens.” Sycamore City Manager Brian Gregory said the city has financially supported the Blue Line bus route, which costs $90,000 to operate each year, since 2007. The contribution is part of a local matching agreement that is required for the center to receive federal and state funds, which Executive Director Tom Zucker said is how the organization is mainly funded. The DCEDC also received a grant of $16,000, which will
go toward its regular expenses. Paul Borek, executive director of the organization, said they are in the process of creating a more innovative marketing campaign through a website that will attract businesses to the county. The site will be able to provide feedback on what visitors are searching for. The organization, in turn, can target these interests, he said. Mundy said the efforts of the DCEDC are critical to the commercial and industrial success of the city. “The jobs we have here are in no small part due to the DCEDC,” he said. The annual grants for the two organizations are funded from the Hotel/Motel Tax Fund and the Sales Tax Distributive Fund and were issued in the same amounts last year.
Illinois opens grant process for community health guides By CARLA K. JOHNSON
“We’ve got a big job to do making sure people across Illinois are aware of the affordable and high-quality health care coverage options that will soon be available through the Affordable Care Act.”
The Associated Press CHICAGO – The race is on in Illinois for $28 million in grants to help consumers learn how to shop for health insurance. Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn’s office announced Monday a competitive grant process to distribute the federal money to community groups that want to help educate consumers about the new online insurance marketplace. The state will take applications through May 30. Organizations eligible to apply – according to grant information on a state website – include nonprofit groups, farming organizations, fishing industry organizations, chambers of commerce and unions. “We’ve got a big job to do making sure people across Illinois are aware of the affordable and high-quality health care coverage options that will soon be available through the Affordable Care Act,” Quinn said in a statement. “That’s why we are partnering with trusted organizations that have proven records of success and roots in communities across Illinois to ensure that no one is left out.” The national health overhaul law – President Barack Obama’s signature domestic achievement – requires that nearly all Americans have health insurance beginning in 2014 or pay a penalty. New insurance marketplaces are scheduled to be operating in every state by Oct. 1. People who are uninsured will be able to compari-

But Illinois officials estimate that more than half the consumers who seek coverage in the marketplace will need help. They’ll get that help from trained guides who, ideally, will offer unbiased and accurate information. The guides will be hired and supervised by community organizations that, starting now, are competing for grant money. John Peller of the AIDS Foundation of Chicago said his group is likely to apply for one of the grants. Several thousand Chicago-area people with HIV will be newly eligible for insurance under the health law, Peller said, and many will need help choosing a health plan and enrolling. Better access to health care for people with HIV will reduce the spread of the disease, he said. “The new substance abuse and mental health coverage available under the law will be tremendously important for people with HIV, who often have depression and substance abuse challenges at higher rates than the general

Insurance agents and brokers still will have a role in helping people choose health insurance, said Phil Lackman, a lobbyist for a coalition of Illinois industry groups. The Illinois Senate passed a bill last month clarifying that the new state guides cannot recommend or endorse a particular health plan. The bill still needs approval in the House. “A lot of people want to compare this to Travelocity [the online site for buying airline tickets],” Lackman said. “Health insurance is a more complicated decision and a more personal choice. Many people will still seek out the advice of an agent or broker.” Nearly 1.8 million Illinois residents are uninsured. An estimated 486,000 state residents will get coverage from commercial insurers through the Illinois marketplace in 2014. That figure is expected to reach 1 million customers by 2016.

Carmine’s Subs brings East Coast flavor here By DAVID THOMAS

dthomas@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – Carrie Sobieski has always loved a good sandwich, and she’s hoping to share that love at her new restaurant, Carmine’s Subs, Wraps and Salads. Even with numerous sandwich shops already established in the DeKalb-Sycamore area, Sobieski believes she can break through with her store’s portions and prices. “If you were to measure the portions of our competitors, you’ll find we’re anywhere from two to three ounces more for less of an investment on a meal,” Sobieski said. Sobieski said all of her food is cut fresh, but shipped in from the East Coast. Originally hailing from New Jersey, Sobieski said it was something that always stuck with her. “There’s something about an East Coast sandwich, and I am convinced it’s the bread,” Sobieski

Sobieski said she feels confident about the future of her business, thanks to her husband, Steve, who already has restaurant experience. “I don’t want to jinx myself, but I think we might be OK here,” Sobieski said. Sobieski picked the Huskie and Italian as being the restaurant’s stand-out cold sub sandwiches,
while the Original Philly and Grilled Chicken Ranch are her favorite hot sandwiches. Sobieski said Carmine’s has 25 employees. She said she is trying to organize a grand opening with the DeKalb and Sycamore chambers of commerce, although nothing has been scheduled yet. Even though her restaurant has only been open for a couple of weeks (April 10), Sobieski said she already has been thinking about the future of Carmine’s. “I do think we have something here, that we have something special,” Sobieski said. “To create a brand is ... it’s one of those big dreams. We’ll take baby steps. We’ve waited to do our major grand opening ... but we wanted to make sure we were running perfectly in our customer service before we take that on.” “The future can be something unique and special,” she added.

Making a community impact At the end of the day, most of us want to feel like we did something to make an impact on our family, our community or the world as a whole. Some people choose to accomplish this by being part of an existing organization or project and others take it upon themselves to start something new. Neither option is better or worse than the other and both can really benefit others. The DeKalb community is outstanding at providing for those that have unfulfilled needs. The local nonprofit community provides tremendous support and terrific services throughout DeKalb County. Figure out your passions or areas of interest and find an existing organization to work with to make a difference. The amount and level of involvement can vary from organization to organization, however, most have a number of ways to support their mission. If you aren’t sure where to start, contact the Kishwaukee United Way and they can help provide direction. The DeKalb Chamber offers a Leadership Academy each year that provides a variety of benefits including developing leadership skills, learning valuable information about the community and the chance to work with others in the community to make a difference. The last component is one that has held a lasting impact on the area over the nine years of the program. The 2012-2013 Leadership Academy Class has stepped up to the challenge as the past classes have and their results are already being felt in the community. On April 27, as a part of the Kishwaukee Family YMCA Healthy Kids Day, a group from the class held a Bike Rodeo. The focus of this project was to show kids that

CHAMBER VIEW Matt Duffy safety is extremely important when riding their bikes. The rodeo consisted of a chance to register their bike with the local police departments, an overview of the rules and proper signals when biking, checking your bike and helmet for proper fitting, a course to practice their skills and more. The event was one that definitely fit a need in the community and one that will continue in the future because of the partnership with the YMCA. Another group from the class put on the Beatin’ ’Betes 5K run Saturday to benefit juvenile diabetes. The focus of the event was to provide awareness for diabetes, raise money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and a fun 5K run for family and
friends. A third group from the class is working on enhancing the solicitation of volunteers to deliver Meals on Wheels with new components to their marketing plan. This program is one that benefits the community in a variety of ways and increasing the number of volunteers and exposure of the program will allow it to continue and grow to fit the changing needs of the community. This class has definitely made their impact and the community is better for their contributions. If you are interested in being a part of the 2013-2014 Leadership Academy, be sure to check out our website at www.dekalb.org for more information on the program.

Fewer crossing border, E-Verify justify bill Many loud voices in the debate over immigration have been insisting that effective border enforcement must precede any steps that legalize the status of current illegal immigrants. Some analysts, including my Washington Examiner colleague Byron York, have been reading the fine print in the 800-page draft prepared by the Senate Gang of Eight. They argue that the legislation is quick to provide some form of legal status, but only calls for commissions to be convened at some later time if the border is not secured. There’s something to these arguments. The Gang of Eight, like the drafters of the 1986 law and the bills that failed to pass in 2006 and 2007, is offering a deal: Legalization in return for effective enforcement. The 1986 law, it is widely agreed, did not deliver on enforcement, and this bill wouldn’t, either. But that is yesterday’s issue. The border doesn’t matter so much as it used to. That’s because the United States is not likely to have another wave of immigration across the border from Mexico anywhere near the magnitude of the one from 1982 to 2007. During most of that time, Mexico’s birth rates were high and its economy was hit by periodic crashes. In most of those years, the U.S. was generating large numbers of new jobs, especially in California and Texas. The wave of immigration from Mexico followed. Today, conditions are different. Mexico’s birth rates have fallen; its economy is growing, while ours struggles; and the dream of homeownership in the U.S. was shattered as foreclosures took a heavy toll on Hispanic immigrants. We can do better on the border – though we should keep in mind that Texas leaders,
VIEWS Michael Barone including Gov. Rick Perry, don’t want a fence along the Rio Grande. But those who fear that legalization would trigger another wave of immigration would be wise to direct their attention to other parts of the legislation. One is E-Verify, the system to determine the legal status of job applicants by checking their Social Security numbers. It’s been required for some employers in states such as Arizona, and a survey conducted for ImmigrationWorks USA, a group that favors a comprehensive bill, reports that 23 percent of restaurant owners are using it today. The Gang of Eight says its bill would mandate the use of E-Verify. It’s a tool that was not available when the 1986 law was passed. Most Americans then, left and right, were skittish about creating anything like a national identity card. Americans today, after years of mass illegal immigration and terrorist attacks, seem less troubled by this. An effective means of validating legal status – and why should this be harder than what Visa and MasterCard do every day? – could vastly reduce job opportunities for illegal immigrants. It could dramatically decrease the incentive to cross the border illegally or overstay a visa. Those who fear future illegal immigration should be drilling down into the E-Verify sections. When would its use be required? And of whom? What are the standards it would have to meet, and who would decide? It’s possible that a case can be made
for strengthening the E-Verify provisions. Those who don’t want another wave of illegal immigration should make that case if they can. The other area of concern to those who decry mass low-skill immigration is the section covering high-skill immigration. The Gang of Eight says it would increase the slots for high-skill immigrants. That would move us some distance toward countries such as Canada and Australia, which limit immigration to those with high skills. Currently, we have a small number of H-1B visas allowing entry to those with high-tech skills. Surely, we need to increase that number. But should we limit those immigrants, as we currently do, to one employer? Maybe high-skill immigrants could make more contributions to our society if they were able to operate freely in the marketplace. Major immigration legislation gets passed only every generation or two – 1924, 1965, 1986. The provisions of the law end up shaping the future population of the nation, sometimes in unanticipated ways. One of those unanticipated ways was the wave of illegal low-skill immigrants – mainly, but not entirely, from Mexico – that started in the early 1980s and was accelerated by the 1986 law. Those who regret that would be wise to concentrate not on yesterday’s issues but on tomorrow’s issues, such as employer verification and encouraging high-skill immigration.

As farmers become entrenched in planting season, they are hoping a crop of another kind sprouts in Washington, D.C. That would be the Farm Bill, the federal legislation that sets the country’s farm and food policy, usually for at least five years at a time. It expired last year, but was extended for nine months when financial concerns took precedence. The Farm Bill is not only for farmers: The Congressional Research Service reports that when enacted, the 2008 Farm Bill had mandatory costs of $284 billion over five years. Of that, $22 billion, or 8 percent, was for crop insurance, while $189 billion, or 67 percent was for nutrition programs, including food stamps. It’s imperative a new bill is passed and soon. Farmers cannot plan for the future if they don’t know how the system will operate. Given the importance of farming in our country, getting a bill that lasts for years, not months, is essential. An aspect of the bill many are keeping an eye on is crop insurance, which is purchased by farmers to protect against the loss of crops because of natural disasters or loss of revenue because of price fluctuations. Crop insurance is important. But in the new bill, lawmakers should ensure farmers are paying more of the premium on crop insurance than taxpayers. In 2008, the total premium cost in the U.S. for crops was $9.85 billion, according to the USDA. Of that, the farmer-paid premium share was $4.17 billion, and subsidies were $5.68 billion. In 2012, estimated total premiums were $11.15 billion; of that, the farmer-paid premium was $4.15 billion, while subsidies were $7 billion. DeKalb County farmers have done a better job of paying their way, records show. From 1995-2011, the government had expenses of $55.6 million for crop insurance in DeKalb County, and farmer premiums contributed $49.2 million during that time frame. That was almost 90 percent of the total cost, with the government making up the $6.7 million difference, according to the Environmental Working Group. That organization maintains a farm subsidy database with information it received from the USDA under the Freedom of Information Act. However, nationally, government is paying more for farmers’ crop insurance than farmers are themselves. We have asked in recent months for others – such as members of public unions – to pay more of the share of benefits they receive. The same holds true for farmers. They should have some financial assurance when fickle Mother Nature causes havoc, but they should not expect the taxpayers to pick up the majority of the cost.

More sequester fixes needed When the sequester’s across-the-board cuts snarled air traffic, Congress sprang into action. In a matter of days, just before representatives and senators jumped on planes for a spring recess, they passed a law granting the Federal Aviation Administration flexibility to move funds around so it did not have to furlough air traffic controllers. It’s exasperating that Washington won’t allow other agencies the same leeway to prioritize spending. The across-the-board cuts are taking a toll in other ways that are less obvious. A story in last week’s Journal Star, for example, reported that the U.S. Geological Service will shut down four stream gauges in Nebraska. Shutting down the devices will hamper the agency’s ability to forecast floods along the Elkhorn, Big Blue and South Platte rivers. In addition, the lack of data will hurt water management in drought. Data from the gauges helps officials know how much water is available and flowing out of river basins. The data have proved valuable in tracking the long-term effect of climate on stream flows. Shutting down the gauges means there will be a gap even if funding flexibility is restored later. Much ink has been spilled over whether Democrats or Republicans should be blamed for the acrossthe-board cuts, originally envisioned as a measure so bone-headed that it would prompt Washington to come up with a rational plan. Bob Woodward’s book, “The Price of Politics,” reported that President Barack Obama personally approved a plan by White House Chief of Staff Jack Lew and congressional relations chief Rob Nabors to propose the sequester. Then Republicans in Congress approved the sequester by overwhelming margins. Out here in the hinterlands it seems like everyone in Washington deserves blame for running the federal government in this sloppy and stupid fashion. Republicans bluster that the administration already has flexibility, but most scholars agree that flexibility is limited because the sequester law requires percentage reductions to be applied equally to every “program, project and activity” within a budget account. The old joke about doing a lousy job is that it’s “good enough for government work.” In the case of the sequester, the elected officials in Washington are taking the expression to a ridiculous extreme. Lincoln (Neb.) Journal Star

GAME 1: BULLS 93, HEAT 86

Sox pitcher Floyd needs season-ending surgery KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The season is over for White Sox starter Gavin Floyd – and maybe most of next year, too. The team said Monday the right-hander will be out for 14 to 19 months after elbow surgery. He will have the ulnar collateral ligament and a torn flexor muscle repaired in New York on Tuesday. “It’s tough, being in that position, seeing one of your buddies go through that,” Sox starter Chris Sale said. “But it’s part of the game. Things happen for a reason.” Sale, who gave up six hits and one run in 7⅓ innings Monday in the team’s 2-1, 11-inning victory against Kansas City, said he was confident his friend and teammate would get through the setback. “I don’t think this would have happened to him if he couldn’t handle it or become better from it,” Sale said. “I think he will. We’ve got to be there for him. He’s an outstanding pitcher and an even better person. He will prevail from this and become better.” The 30-year-old Floyd was 0-4 with a 5.18 ERA in five starts for the Sox this season before going on the disabled list April 28 with what was initially diagnosed as a flexor muscle strain. Floyd is 70-70 with a 4.48 ERA in 10 major league seasons with the Sox and Philadelphia Phillies. The news did not come as a surprise to the Sox. “It’s the same as expected,” manager Robin Ventura said. “You try to get healthy as soon as you can.” – The Associated Press

MIAMI – Nate Robinson was spitting blood in the first half, then delivered the deepest cuts of the night in the final moments. And the Bulls reminded the Miami Heat that no one in the NBA plays them any tougher. Yes, the streakbusters struck again. Robinson scored 27 points, Jimmy Butler added 21 points and a career-high-tying 14 rebounds, and the Bulls beat Mi-
ami 93-86 on Monday night in Game 1 of the teams’ Eastern Conference semifinal series. The team that snapped Miami’s 27-game winning streak in the regular season – the second-longest in NBA history – found a way to topple the champs again, this time ending a run of 12 straight Heat victories overall. “I’ve played on some tough teams,” Robinson said. “But this one, there’s something a little different, something special about this group.” A seven-point deficit mid-
way through the fourth wasn’t enough to doom the Bulls, who finished the game on a 10-0 run in the final 1:59. And to think, the Bulls weren’t anywhere near full strength. Kirk Hinrich was out again with a calf injury. Luol Deng isn’t even expected to rejoin the team until today, after dealing with an illness apparently so severe that a spinal tap – and other tests since – were needed to rule out AP photo things like meningitis.

Indian Creek, Hinckley-Big Rock favorites to win regional championships By ANTHONY ZILIS sports@daily-chronicle.com Indian Creek senior Christina Sommerfeld was taken aback slightly when she heard the Timberwolves were named the No. 1 seed in the Class 1A Genoa-Kingston Regional. But then she looked at the facts. The Timberwolves registered an 8-3-4 record this season, and young players stepped up all over the field
to morph a team that finished well below .500 last year into a winning side. All of a sudden, the No. 1 seed didn’t seem strange at all. “I was a little bit surprised when I first heard,” Sommerfeld said. “But looking at my team, I thought, ‘We deserve it.’ We’ve worked so hard against everybody.” The Timberwolves will play Mendota today in the regional semifinal for the right to play the winner of Hiawatha

regional he’s seen in years. “I’ve seen all four teams play and I don’t see any dominant teams like we’ve always had in the past,” Tate said. “It’s going to take that one night that you’re going to have to play well or get lucky or whatever it is.” G-K has been banged up this season, but senior Shannon Schumacher should play after suffering injuries throughout the season, and talented sophomore Nicole Hebel has come
into the fold after recovering from a torn ACL that kept her out of last season. “[Hebel] has really had to take on a lot in the midfield role,” Tate said. “As of late, she’s been actually looking to score instead of being the playmaker. Having Shannon Schumacher, we’re a different team when she’s on the field. We can play so much better because she’s such a leader.”

Nelson, Spartans shut H-BR dominates T’wolves out Yorkville at home By BRIAN HOXSEY
sports@daily-chronicle.com
Take control of conference race By STEVE NITZ snitz@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – Cole Nelson describes himself as a “man of action.” The Sycamore junior pitcher works fast. He doesn’t waste any time. Nelson gets the ball and throws it. This season, Nelson’s efficiency has worked. In the Spartans’ 3-0 win over Yorkville Monday, Nelson allowed just six hits and struck out five in a complete-game effort, improving to 5-0 on the season. Nelson worked quickly the whole time. The game was finished in under
and hour and a half. “I’ve always been really quick,” Nelson said. “I want to get it, get it done and get the ball rolling.” The series-opening win improves the Spartans’ record to 19-6 and 10-3 in the Northern Illinois Big 12 East. The second-place Foxes fall to 14-11 and 8-4 in conference play, and have a makeup game against DeKalb on May 14. With just one more win in the series against Yorkville, Sycamore will win its first Northern Illinois Big 12 East title. The teams play today at Yorkville, and return to Sycamore for the series finale Thursday. “We’re feeling pretty good right now,” said Sycamore center fielder Brett Weaver, who was 2 for 2 with a home run.

SHABBONA – A first-inning fastball to Hinckley-Big Rock’s Luke Winkle changed the entire complexion of Monday’s game against Indian Creek. Winkle lined the 1-0 pitch from Indian Creek starter Jake Wieseler over the left-field fence for a three-run homer, which helped jump start the Royals to a 16-0, five-inning victory over the Timberwolves in Little Ten Conference play. The Royals stayed even in the LTC championship hunt with Somonauk as the Bobcats beat Hiawatha, 3-0. The two rivals will meet again today at Kenny Field in Big Rock. “That was huge, [Winkle] got us started – that was the turning point for us,” H-BR coach Brad Unger said. “Last week against Hiawatha we were quiet at the plate, today was a huge spark for us. We had so many good approaches, especially with two
strikes.” H-BR (15-5, 13-1 Little Ten) hadn’t played since Wednesday, but ended with 12 hits on the day – three coming off the bat of senior Zach Michels, who started a double steal in the first to make it 4-0. “We came out exactly how we should have after a long break,” Michels said. “We were all really relaxed at the plate today and hit the ball well.” The Royals made it 6-0 in the second as Bailey McQueen and Jesse Troutman drew walks ahead of a tworun double to left by Jake Shrader. Meanwhile, H-BR sophomore right-hander Dutch Schneeman was in the groove. Schneeman earned the complete-game victory, scattering four hits, striking out six and not issuing a walk. He escaped the only T-Wolves (8-11-1, 8-6-1) threat of the day in the second inning.

BLACKHAWKS ANALYSIS
NBA
Quenneville preaching intensity ST. PAUL, Minn. – Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville gathered his players in the right faceoff circle during practice Monday at the Xcel Energy Center. Clearly, this was a lecture rather than a conversation. It was a mostly calm lecture, but a lecture nonetheless. “When he screams and yells, sometimes it’s the same stuff,” Hawks winger Bryan Bickell said afterward when I asked about the mid-practice conference. “But when he starts to talk like normal human beings, everybody gets their ears open and we listen. “He’s our leader. He puts us together to make us the best.” The Hawks are in good hands with their gruff, occasionally normal-human-being coach. Another hostile crowd and the same hungry opponent will greet the Hawks when they take the ice against the Minnesota Wild for Game 4 of the Western Conference quarterfinals. The Hawks lead the series, 2-1, and need to win to maintain their advantage instead of slipping into a 2-2 stalemate. So far, the series has shown that the Hawks are more talented but the Wild are more truculent. Although the Hawks have outshot the Wild
VIEWS Tom Musick by 20, the Wild have outhit the Hawks by 25. That’s why Quenneville called his players together in a corner of the ice for his State of the Hawks address. His talking points were clear based on his pointed comments to reporters after practice. “I’d like to see a very intense team,” Quenneville said. “I think if you watch other playoff series, you can see it, whether it’s the animosity, the hatred, the battles. It’s playoff hockey. “That’s the level we’ve got to get to.” It’s tough to imagine anyone better suited than Quenneville to push the Hawks to that level. One week from Friday, the NHL will announce its three finalists for the annual Jack Adams Award, which is given to the league’s top coach. Quenneville, who won the award as the St. Louis Blues coach during the 1999-2000 season, deserves to become a two-time winner based on his work this season. The Hawks arrived to training camp with plenty of
ability, but Quenneville molded the group into a regular-season superpower. As a coach, he has a hands-on style without being a micromanager, which has earned the respect of his veteran locker room. During a sluggish Game 3, Quenneville tinkered with his top lines by pairing Kane with Jonathan Toews and Patrick Sharp in the third period. On Monday, Quenneville returned to status quo, pairing Kane with Sharp and Michael Handzus, while Toews centered Brandon Saad and Marian Hossa. Hawks players were not surprised to return to their previous line combinations. It was a sign of patience and respect from Quenneville, although that quickly could change with another playoff dud. “This year, there hasn’t been too much change in the lines unless there have been injuries,” Kane said. “He’s kept everything pretty much the same. “It’s a little bit different when you get down a goal or you’re trying to catch up. Usually, he’ll put some different players together to maybe create a spark. “I think that’s something he knows how to do. He’s coached a lot of games in the league.” Correct.

Rodriguez had surgery Jan. 16 and could return to the Yankees after the All-Star break. A surgeon repaired a torn labrum and impingement in the operation in New York. Rodriguez is currently taking part in a 30-day rehab schedule setup by his doctors and team officials. –From staff, wire reports

NEW YORK – Montreal Canadiens right wing Brendan Gallagher, Florida Panthers center Jonathan Huberdeau and Blackhawks left wing Brandon Saad are the three finalists for the Calder Trophy, give to the NHL’s top rookie. Saad ranked fifth among rookies in each of the three major scoring categories – goals (10), assists (17) and points (27). The winner will be announced during the Stanley Cup Finals.
Only five coaches in NHL history have won more regular-season games than Quenneville, who has a remarkable record of 660-389-77-85 (the third number is from the days when games ended in ties). Those ahead of Quenneville are Scotty Bowman, Al Arbour, Dick Irvin, Pat Quinn and Mike Keenan, all of whom coached for at least 20 years and the first three of whom are in the Hockey Hall of Fame. In the playoffs, Quenneville also has proved to be a winner. Entering today, the Hawks’ coach has 74 career playoff wins, which is No. 8 all time. He needs four more wins to surpass Pat Burns and nine more wins to surpass Toe Blake, another Hall of Famer. All of those numbers add up to one big fact for Hawks players. If you want a W, put your trust in Q. In other words, keep your mouth closed and your ears open. “When he says something, you listen,” Hawks center Marcus Kruger said after Quenneville’s lecture. “That was something we had to hear.”
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Jordan Danks just had to wait a short while for a second chance. The backup outfielder atoned for his base-running blunder in the ninth inning by hitting a solo home run in the 11th that lifted the White Sox over the Kansas City Royals, 2-1, on Monday. “I knew that was going to be my shot to do something,” Danks said. “I wasn’t trying to do too much. But you got a guy throwing 97, 98 (mph), he’s going to provide most of the power. Like coaches have been telling you since Little League, get something good to hit.” Danks connected with two outs off Kelvin Herrera (2-3) for his first homer of the season. The Sox avoided a three-
Next at N.Y. Mets, 6:10 p.m. today, CSN, AM-670 the fifth time in 18 tries in Kauffman Stadium. Danks entered in the ninth as a pinch-runner. Moments later, he got caught in a rundown between third and home after Alexei Ramirez hit a tying, bases-loaded infield single with two outs. “It makes it a little bit better, yeah,” Danks said with a grin. “I told them I did it on purpose so I could come up and hit a homer.” Sox starter Chris Sale, who spent most of the day matching James Shields pitch for pitch, said the dugout “went nuts” when Danks homered. “That’s always fun to
watch,” Sale said. “Emotions are high. You’re tense. Someone goes up and does that, it’s fun.” The Sox trailed 1-0 before loading the bases with no outs in the ninth. After Paul Konerko grounded into a home-to-first double play, Danks entered as a pinch-runner at second base for Adam Dunn. Conor Gillaspie was intentionally walked to load the bases. Ramirez followed with an infield single up the middle that made it 1-all, but Danks was tagged out on the play, ending the rally. “He got caught in no man’s land,” White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. “Even in the dugout, you’re thinking about trying to send him. It’s too late to tell him to stop. That wasn’t his fault. That’s on us. That’s just an aggressive play. I’d rather be like that than not be aggressive.”
CHICAGO – Scott Feldman threw seven scoreless innings against his former team before leaving with a cramp in his pitching hand, and the Cubs came within three outs of their first shutout since August in a 9-2 win over the Texas Rangers on Monday night.

Texas scored a pair of unearned runs in the ninth after a throwing error by third baseman Luis Valbuena. The Cubs have gone 68 games without a shutout since beating Colorado, 5-0, on Aug. 26, their longest streak since going 75 games in a row without shutouts from May 15 until Aug. 6, 1999, according to STATS.

WHAT TO WATCH FOR Kaneland at Sycamore, 4:30 p.m. today The first leg of a home-and-home series could spell doom for one of the teams in the conference race. DeKalb at Sycamore, 4:30 p.m. Thursday The two teams meet for the second time and a conference championship could be on the line.
POWER RANKINGS 1. DeKalb (10-1-2, 7-0-1 NI Big 12 East) The Barbs were victorious against Sycamore, and they’ll try to take the NI Big 12 East title from the Spartans with a win Thursday. 2. Kaneland (8-4-2, 5-1-1 NI Big 12 East) Strong defense in front of the best goalkeeper in the area make the Knights a tough team to beat. 3. Sycamore (7-9-1, 6-1-1 NI Big 12 East) Spartans have a tough slate this week with two games against Kaneland and one against DeKalb. 4.

Kaneland’s Courtney Diddell and DeKalb’s Rachel Torres struggle for the ball in a game April 24 in DeKalb.
Soccer matches take a physical toll on players, which is why professional teams only play one or two games each week. Running up and down the field for 80 or 90 minutes, depending on the level, in a contact sport can cause a wide range of injuries, so scheduling a handful of games in a week is considered quite enough at the highest levels of the sport. But area soccer schedules have looked more like baseball or softball schedules this year. Because of postponed games, teams have been playing three

Hiawatha had plenty of talent entering the season, but the Hawks needed several freshmen to step up and become acclimated with varsity soccer. Those rookies developed throughout the season, and the Hawks won their past five matches entering the playoffs. Yulissa Solis has been the Hawks’ leading goal-scorer, Jasmine Ascencio moved from an attacking position to the back-line and Dani Orozco took over the starting goalkeeper spot after a few matches and has performed admirably. “They’ve continued to be contributors,” Hiawatha coach Kyle Monestero said. “Jasmine I’ve moved to defense, which she’s really adapted to well and has kind of been the core and foundation of our defense. It’s really strengthened us. [Orozco] has really adapted to the game well and she’s been key in some of those shutouts.”

The title for the area’s best goalkeeper is locked up by Kaneland junior Jordan Ginther, who will play for Purdue in two years. But DeKalb coach Phil Rouse said he thinks his goalkeeper, junior Maddie Frye, is right up there with the best in the Northern Illinois Big 12 Conference. Frye came through with a few big saves against Sycamore to keep the game tied before DeKalb scored a penalty kick to win 1-0. “It’s hard for me to say we have the best keeper in conference because there’s Jordan Ginther in conference, but darn it, if there’s a 1A and 1B, I’d put Maddie Frye up there any time to make clutch saves,” Rouse said. “She’s come up for this team year-in and year-out. Three years in a row, she’s come up with major saves to keep us in games. She’s a tremendous young lady, she works extra hard in the offseason, and it shows.”

Athletic directors and coaches have done their best when the weather hasn’t cooperated this year, but 14- to 18-year-old kids are being asked to play more games per week than professionals, which isn’t the case in other sports. Football teams play one game a week, just like their pro counterparts. Baseball teams play much less than the 162-game, day-in, day-out grind of the major leagues. This problem probably won’t

No Celtics, Lakers in 2nd round The last time that occurred was in 2007 By JON KRAWCZYNSKI The Associated Press AP photo
A mourner lights a candle at a makeshift memorial Sunday before a news conference by the family to discuss the death of Ricardo Portillo, who died after injuries he suffered from an assault by a soccer player at a match he was refereeing on April 27 in Salt Lake City.
Utah prosecutor weighs charges in referee’s death By BRADY McCOMBS The Associated Press SALT LAKE CITY – A Utah prosecutor said Monday he plans to decide soon what charges to file against a teenager accused of punching a soccer referee who later died after slipping into a weeklong coma. Authorities say the 17-yearold struck Ricardo Portillo in the head last month during a recreational league match after the referee called a penalty against him. Hours later, the 46-year-old went into a coma. He never regained consciousness and died Saturday. An autopsy was performed the next day, authorities said, but the results have not been made public. Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill said he and other officials are reviewing evidence and state statutes to determine the appropriate charges, which he expects to announce by midweek. The teen, whose name is being withheld because he is a minor, is in juvenile detention on suspicion of aggravated assault. Authorities are considering additional charges after Portillo’s death.
Legal analysts say the key factor for Gill to determine is intent. Paul Cassell, a criminal law professor at the University of Utah, who is not involved in the case, said that from what he has seen, it doesn’t appear the teenager intended to kill Portillo, which means a murder charge is highly unlikely. More probable is the lesser charge of “homicide by assault,” which comes when an attack unintentionally causes death. The charge brings up to five years in prison for adults. Penalties can be less for juveniles. “This appears to be a freak and tragic result of striking a referee,” said Cassell, a former federal prosecutor and judge. “Clearly, that is a crime, but that is not going to be murder.” Tanya Lewis, a private attorney in Salt Lake City and legal analyst, who also is not involved in the case, said the charges should fall between homicide by assault and manslaughter, which is more serious. For a manslaughter charge, prosecutors would have to show the teen acted with reckless regard for the risk of death.
The seconds ticked down on the Boston Celtics’ season as Game 6 against the New York Knicks slipped away, a ferocious fourth-quarter comeback falling just short. Kevin Garnett trudged toward the bench to a standing ovation, and he stopped quickly to whisper in coach Doc Rivers’ ear. Rivers shook his head as a six-year run of championship-level basketball in Boston flashed before his eyes. Three thousand miles away in Los Angeles, the stitches recently had been removed from Kobe Bryant’s left leg and the long, painful rehabilitation of a torn Achilles tendon was only beginning. The Celtics and Lakers are aching, aging and nowhere to be found now that the second round of the playoffs has started. The last time the second round began without at least one of the league’s two marquee franchises was the 200607 season, before Pau Gasol arrived in L.A. to help get the Shaq-less Lakers over the hump and before KG landed in Boston to help turn things around. Now both teams head into the offseason far sooner than they’re accustomed to, with big stars on the mend and a lingering question: Does either team deserve headliner status anymore? The Miami Heat are the clear kings these days, the defending NBA champions with the best player in the world. The San Antonio Spurs, who hammered the Lakers in the first round, and even the Knicks, who overcame their own immaturity to overwhelm the older Celtics, also sit higher on the totem pole at the moment. And there are younger stars entering their prime in

Celtics coach Doc Rivers gives forward Kevin Garnett a pat on the back after taking him out of the game in the final minute during the second half in Game 6 of their first-round playoff series against the Knicks on Friday in Boston. The Knicks won, 88-80, eliminating the Celtics from the playoffs. Oklahoma City, Golden State and with that other team in Los Angeles, the Clippers. The hard decisions for the Lakers and Celtics are just around the corner. The Lakers were a mess all season, firing their coach five games in and limping through a humbling 45-37 year that including injuries to Gasol, Howard and Steve Nash. Then Bryant went down, and there was no chance. The new collective bargaining agreement also is set to unleash an avalanche of luxury tax penalties on the team with the largest payroll in the league next season – as much as $85 million if they resign Howard and keep Gasol and his $19 million salary. “When you lose, everything is in play,” general manager Mitch Kupchak said. “This is the third year in a
row that you could argue we didn’t live up to or play up to expectations.” Kupchak’s biggest challenge might be persuading Howard to stay. Bryant might not be fully healthy until January, Nash will turn 40 next season and the rest of the roster is filled with journeymen and role players, taking some of the glitz out of what has been one of the most glamorous destinations in the league for decades. “If you just look at the opportunity, which is to play for this franchise in this city, with what this franchise has meant to this city and its accomplishments, that’s probably the most any team can offer a player,” Kupchak said. The Celtics lost point guard Rajon Rondo to a torn ACL in January, almost a month before the trade deadline. But
GM Danny Ainge declined to add another ball-handler, and it cost them dearly in the playoffs against the Knicks. The struggles of both teams to overcome key injuries stand in stark contrast to the Bulls, who have weathered the season-long absence of Derrick Rose and serious health concerns for Joakim Noah, Luol Deng and Kirk Hinrich to advance to the second round. The Spurs won 58 games despite missing Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili for long stretches. Now the Celtics enter yet another summer of deciding whether to bring back Pierce and Garnett, or start over around a rehabbing Rondo and Jeff Green, who played well with the increased minutes. Only this time the finality is much more palpable. Pierce could be traded, while Garnett is considering retirement. “You know, we need more,” Rivers said. “But the key is, for us, you know, do you want to take away to get more? And that will be a decision that will be made later.” The last time the second round of the playoffs didn’t have at least one of these two teams, the Celtics failed to make it altogether and the Lakers were bounced by the Phoenix Suns in 2007. Ainge brought in Garnett and Ray Allen later that summer and Kupchak landed Gasol from Memphis in a trade, and the two were rekindling a decades-old rivalry in the NBA Finals, and ushering in a new era of popularity for the league, the following June. Those days seem so long ago and far away now, but Kupchak isn’t ready to concede anything. “Certainly, some players might not prefer to play on a stage like in Los Angeles, but I do know that this franchise will continue to be run as a model franchise,” he said. “This is a very desirable place for players to play. What it comes down to is being comfortable selling the Los Angeles Lakers, and that’s where my confidence lies the most.”

Royals score 10 runs on 6 hits in 3rd inning of rout Royals have defeated both regional opponents • BASEBALL Continued from page B1 Schneeman induced a flyball after Chris Pickwell had singled and moved to third on a two-out double by Logan Lee. “My team really started me out good there, and the third
inning was a huge confidence boost,” Schneeman said. “I just tried to hit my spots and throw as many strikes as I could.” In that third inning, the visitors sent 14 batters to the plate and scored 10 runs on six hits. In the frame, Michels had a two-run single and Jake Ryan drove in three runs on
a bases-loaded walk and tworun knock. For the game, Shrader, Winkle and Mitch Ruh each had a pair of hits for H-BR, while Lee went 2 for 2. Timberwolves lefty reliever David Emanuel was able to send the Royals down in order in the final two innings. “You always want an opponent to do things to earn a
victory all the time,” Indian Creek coach Joe Piekarz said. “[H-BR] put the ball in play, we gave them some extra outs, but to their credit, they were able to get that big hit. “It was nice to see a senior like Logan get a couple solid hits on senior day, and David did a nice job in relief as well.”

[Nelson]’s in the strike zone all day.” Sycamore had trouble against Yorkville starter Kyle Shimp, who struck out nine hitters thanks to a nasty change-up, but the Spartans broke through in the fourth, when Mitchell Jordan reached base on a bunt single – Sycamore’s first hit of the game – and scored on a wild pitch. Ian Kidd scored on an Alec Kozak sacrifice fly in the fifth, while Weaver capped off the
scoring in the sixth with a homer to left field that was originally called a ground rule double. With the way the Spartans’ pitching has been, they haven’t needed a ton of runs. “It takes a lot of weight off your shoulders as a hitter,” Weaver said. “You know you’ve got to get hits for them and produce runs, but when you’ve got studs like that on the mound, it makes it a lot easier at the plate for you.”
• SOCCER Continued from page B1 The Cogs will face stiff competition against Hiawatha, who finished the season with five consecutive wins as a few freshmen have become key players. “I’m feeling really good, I feel like our team is progressing and coming together well,” Hiawatha coach Kyle Monestero said. “I think as far as ability and competitiveness, I think [the regional] can go any number of ways for sure.” But the Timberwolves are certainly the prohibitive favorites. While there isn’t a team in the regional that stands well above the rest, Indian Creek’s depth may put them over the top. “One of their strengths is their overall balance,” Tate said. “They don’t have just that one really great forward, or that one great midfielder,
they’re all pretty equal. If they have one weak or two weak defenders, then you could put pressure on them, but they seem to be pretty solid all around.”
H-BR NO. 2 SEED, BUT FAVORED Hinckley-Big Rock may only be the No. 2 seed in the Class 1A Hinckley-Big Rock Regional, but the Royals have beaten both of the other regional teams, Plano and Aurora Central Catholic. The Royals coasted by Plano, 3-0, in their season opener and beat Aurora Central Catholic, 2-1, on April 27. But coach Paul Taeuber doesn’t want his team to be over-confident. “It’s nice to know leading up to it that we’ve proved that we’re the superior opponent,” Taeuber said. “But one-goal difference means you still have to earn it and work for it. The more times you see [a team], I always say it’s harder.”

Kenseth leaves Talladega with frustrating finish AP Sports Writer JOHN ZENOR (AP)

Kenseth, who won the fall race at Talladega, quietly apologized to team owner Joe Gibbs outside the hauler for failing to bring home a win. He refused to blame the rain, the darkness or the 3-hour, 36-minute delay. “It was plenty dry enough,” he said. “That was no problem. It was fairly dark. We could see what was going on. It was fairly dark, but it was safe out there.” Kenseth isn’t sure what, if anything, he would have done differently on the restart. “Carl just got a rocket restart there, and he cleared me down the backstretch,” he said. “He just got a huge run somehow. I was still second. I thought we still had a shot. I tried to get around Carl but he blocked, which you should. We got real wide getting up there and got pretty far to the top, and I just didn’t watch the runs from the guys way in the back. “I saw David (Ragan) at the last minute but he was going too fast. If I pulled in front of him I was just going to get wrecked. I just had to bite the bullet and try to find the hole, which there wasn’t one. It was a disappointing end to the day but man, we had a great car.”
TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) — Matt Kenseth left another restrictor plate race pondering what could have been.
Kenseth also led the most laps at Richmond but finished seventh.
After leading by far the most laps, Kenseth was overtaken on the two-lap overtime sprint Sunday at Talladega Superspeedway and wound up with a disappointing eighth-place finish.
Kenseth thinks this year’s results show he’s still got a lot of work to do on the big speedways. He won his second Daytona 500 in 2012, and got first- and third-place finishes at the two Talladega Sprint Cup races. It’s really not that easy, though.
The tally: 190-plus mostly terrific laps and a frustrating finale. “Just thinking about our day, it’s encouraging but it’s also really frustrating,” Kenseth said.“I think we’ve led the most laps four or five times and I’m fortunate and thankful that we won two races. I just feel like there’s been a few that I’ve left on the table or we’ve left on the table, for whatever reason. “Hopefully, we can keep the performance up and I can figure out the right things to do there at the end to keep my car in the right spot and we can collect some more wins.” He enjoyed the view from the front for 142 laps and started with the lead out of a green-white checkered but got passed by like Carl Edwards and then by race winner David Ragan, runner-up David

“Restrictor plate racing is tough,” Kenseth said. “Everybody after our great year last year says it was a strongpoint. I think it’s a weakpoint. I feel like I’m not very good at making the right spots.

ADVICE & PUZZLES

Hopeful lottery winners want to share pot Dear Abby: I’m responding to your request for comments about the letter from “Happily Single” (Feb. 13) and whether a divorce would be the first course of action upon winning the lottery. In a community-property state, a divorce AFTER winning wouldn’t legally protect you from having to share the spoils with your soon-to-be (and probably now bitter) ex-spouse. My husband and I have talked at length about what we’d do if either of us won the Powerball jackpots, and no, divorce was NOT on the list. We’d start by consulting a lawyer/financial planner to find a way to protect our privacy before claiming the money. I suspect the comments
DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips from “Happily’s” co-workers are evidence that unhappily marrieds group together – or enjoy complaining about their spouses. Either way, it’s sad. Studies show that complaining about a spouse significantly decreases one’s satisfaction in a relationship. While we all “vent” from time to time, if talking divorce is your first response to a jackpot win, then you’re in the wrong relationship. – In It For The Long Haul Dear In It: I hit the jackpot with the huge response I received about that letter. And the majority of readers said
they would NOT divorce: Dear Abby: I am a lottery winner, and I feel blessed and proud that I can take care of my wife the way she deserves. Within two minutes of my win I was on the phone with her, telling her to quit her stressful job. We now have a wonderful life, with more than we ever hoped for. – Satisfied in The Sunshine State Dear Abby: I’m single, but that letter didn’t surprise me. I think a lot of people feel they must be married by a certain age, so they end up “settling.” Read some of the crazy lottery winner stories posted online, and you’ll see people trade in their spouses because they feel they can do better or “move up,” kind of like buying a bigger, better house.
I’m not saying it’s right, but it happens. – Cindy in Arlington, Va. Dear Abby: If I won the lottery, the first thing I’d do is GET married. We’re waiting so we can afford the nice wedding we both want. – Stephanie In Saugus, Calif. Dear Abby: The first thing I’d do if I won is pay off all my debts. I’m ALREADY divorced. – Diana in Texas City, Texas Dear Abby: I wouldn’t consider getting divorced if I won, but I might finally buy that second husband I’ve been wanting but can’t afford. – Tacoma Reader Dear Abby: I’ve been married for 40 years. If I won I would not divorce. There’s NO WAY I’d want to give him half the money. I would stay
married so I could have control over the money he spent. It would make up for all the years that he would pinch my pennies and make me squeeze a nickel till the buffalo pooped. – Wishful in Ohio Dear Abby: If I were to win the lottery, I would trade all of it just to have one more hug and one more night talking with my wife, who died 16 years ago. Our children were young when she died, and I have tried my best to raise them to be good adults. But my heart still aches over losing her to cancer. I believe all widows and widowers would agree with me on this. – Trent in Oklahoma

Gluten-free diet can relieve gas and bloating Dear Dr. K: I’m a healthy young person, but I tend to have a lot of gas, bloating and diarrhea. Could a gluten-free diet help me? Dear Reader: Gluten-free eating is essential for people with celiac disease, which is an intolerance to the protein gluten. This protein is found in grains such as wheat, barley and rye. Gluten gives structure and texture to breads, pastas, cereals and baked goods. It is also used as a flavoring, thickener and stabilizer in foods such as ice cream, sauces and condiments. So gluten is in a lot of foods. About 300,000 Americans are diagnosed with celiac disease. In people with this disease, gluten provokes the
ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff immune system to attack the lining of the small intestine. It causes gas, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, headache, trouble concentrating and fatigue. It also leads to weight loss and malnutrition. For people with celiac disease, following a strict gluten-free diet is essential. In its most severe form, celiac disease can cause life-threatening diarrhea and dehydration. Given your symptoms, you should talk to your doctor about getting tested for celiac disease. If you have it, you
definitely should be on a gluten-free diet. Even five years ago, I would have said there’s no point in your following a gluten-free diet if you don’t test positive for celiac disease. Two million Americans follow a gluten-free diet – and that’s a lot more than have celiac disease. Many really believe it helps them, and recent studies have found that they may be right. There now is good evidence for a condition called non-celiac gluten sensitivity. It causes gas, bloating and indigestion, but no intestinal damage. The evidence for non-celiac gluten sensitivity comes from studies of people who believe they have gluten sensitivity. The people have
been chosen at random to eat foods containing gluten or not containing gluten – with neither the doctors nor the subjects in the study knowing what they were eating. Those who thought they had symptoms from gluten really did. If you don’t have celiac disease but you have symptoms after consuming gluten, try a gluten-free diet for a brief time to see if you feel better. Many foods now are labeled as being gluten-free. By cutting out gluten-containing foods, you may reduce your fiber intake from whole grains. You may also miss out on vitamins and minerals that you’d normally get from fortified foods. So you might consider contact-
ing a registered dietitian. He or she can help you put together a food plan that has adequate fiber and nutrients. A gluten-free diet based on fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, nuts, seeds, legumes and whole grains that do not contain gluten, such as brown rice and quinoa, can be quite healthy. For many years, I saw patients who said that they were sensitive to gluten-containing foods. When their tests showed no celiac disease, I told them there was no reason for them to avoid such foods. Guess what? They often didn’t follow my advice – and they were right.

Violators can be arrested for dating violence Dr. Wallace: I’ve been dating a guy for over a year. There are times he is super wonderful, and then there are times when he is super horrible. My best friend knows this guy because he is her cousin, and she despises him. She keeps telling me to stop seeing him. She wants me to call the police and have him arrested for dating violence. She has been with us when he gets upset with me and calls me nasty and filthy names. I admit that I detest this type of behavior, but when he is nice, he is Mr. Wonderful. I don’t really need your advice about my future with this guy because I plan to
’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace keep dating him and just hope he mellows out and becomes Mr. Wonderful all the time. But I am a bit confused, and I want to know what “dating violence” really means. – Nameless, Detroit, Mich. Nameless: Liz Claiborne has produced the booklet, “What You Need to Know About Dating Violence.” She gives the reader an excellent explanation on what dating violence is. The following information was found in
8ASTROGRAPH By BERNICE BEDE OSOL Newspaper Enterprise Association
TODAY – In the year ahead, you are likely to get an opportunity to take over two endeavors that have been started by others. You could turn them both into winners. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – You may be holding all the trump cards, but you’re not likely to use this power unjustly. The opposition will admire and appreciate your restraint. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Because someone has helped you when you needed it in the past, your compassion is easily aroused. Admirably, you’ll be the first to respond to someone in need. CANCER (June 21-July 22) – An issue of personal interest might also appeal to your friends. Although they may not know how to turn it into a group endeavor, you do. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Focusing on the virtues rather than the shortcomings of friends will not only boost their egos, but also make you very popular. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – You’re basically a very imaginative person to begin with, but today that will be even more so. To your credit, you’ll put your ideas to work. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Because you’ll strive to treat others as fairly as possible, things will work out quite well. Friends and colleagues will respond in kind. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – An enterprising friend is likely to provide you with some helpful tips. Use them to extract even more juice from an already profitable situation. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Don’t be surprised if you derive an unexpected bonus from help that you render to another. You’ll set a wonderful example, and the right people will notice. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Even though your needs are important, they won’t be more so than those of your loved ones. You’ll figure out a way to help both your family and yourself. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Outward appearances might affect how your associates view things, but not you. You’ll know how to dig deep beneath the surface and deal with root causes. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – One of your greatest assets is your ability to adjust quickly to changing conditions. You might have to use it in several instances today. ARIES (March 21-April 19) – You might be in a money-making mood, but try to profit for the benefit of others, not yourself. You’ll get the most satisfaction from indulging your charitable instincts.
this booklet: Dating violence isn’t an argument every once in a while, or a bad mood after a bad day. Dating violence (or relationship abuse) is a pattern of violent behavior that someone uses against a girlfriend or boyfriend. Abuse can cause injury and even death, but it doesn’t have to be physical. It can include verbal and emotional abuse – constant insults, isolation from friends and family, name calling, controlling what someone wears – and it can also include sexual abuse. It can happen to anyone, at any age, no matter what race or religion they are, no matter what their
8SUDOKU
level of education or economic background is. Dating violence also occurs in same-sex relationships. Dating violence is a crime and the violator could be arrested. Dr. Wallace: My parents are divorced, and I live with my mother. Whenever I see my father during custody visits, he is very negative, and I do not enjoy seeing him one bit. The last time I saw him, about two weeks ago, I told him that I was tired of him trying to stir up trouble, and that I was not going to see him any more. Last night, he called my mother and said that if I didn’t see him, he was going
to stop paying child support and would get his lawyer to start proceedings to gain custody of me. What should I do? I’m 17 years old. – Melanie, Lincoln, Neb. Melanie: Chances of your father gaining custody of you are slim and none. If the support he pays is important to your mother and you, then I would continue to see him, but spend as little time as possible with him. Do not allow his negative attitude to affect you. Do your best to keep the conversation positive and pleasant.

8CROSSWORD
BRIDGE Phillip Alder
Listen carefully to their bids Robert Bresson, a French film director, said, “Cinema, radio, television, magazines are a school of inattention: People look without seeing, listen without hearing.” Some bridge players are guilty of listening without hearing – to the auction. Every bid and most passes supply some information for the attentive player. In today’s deal, look at only the West hand and the auction. What would you lead against four hearts? The auction followed a normal path. North’s jump to four hearts showed game-going values with three-card heart support. South was close to a slam-try (imagine North’s having ace-third of spades), but chose to pass. If you use two-over-one game-forcing, North would rebid three hearts. Then the auction might continue four clubs – four diamonds (both control-bids) – four hearts – pass. Yes, here five diamonds makes, but do not make a habit of playing in five of a minor when four of a major is a favorite to succeed. (A defender having ace-fourth of hearts and being able to give his partner a heart ruff in five diamonds is much more likely than a 4-0 diamond break and a defender gaining two diamond ruffs in four hearts.) West should lead a diamond. Since diamonds have been bid and supported, it is highly likely that East is void of the suit. After East ruffs, he will probably shift to a club. South wins with his ace (West signaling with the queen to deny the king) and plays a trump, but West grabs the trick and gives his partner a second diamond ruff. Then East cashes the spade ace to defeat the contract.
