Police: Driver in crash on heroin Sycamore man charged with aggravated DUI in wreck that killed boy, 11 By JILLIAN DUCHNOWSKI jduchnowski@shawmedia.com
Benjamin Black
A Sycamore man is accused of being high on heroin when he plowed into a Chevrolet Cavalier, killing an 11-year-old Sycamore boy and severely injuring an 18-year-old Sycamore woman. Benjamin Black, 28, of the 1500 block of Sparkhayes Drive in Sycamore, was charged Monday with multiple counts of aggravated driving under the influence of a controlled substance in connec-
tion with the Feb. 27 crash that killed Matthew Ranken and that cracked Teale Noble’s skull, according to a news release from the Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office. Black’s 1999 Ford Expedition smashed into the back of the Cavalier carrying Ranken; his brother, Nicholas Weber, 21, of Sycamore; and Noble, Weber’s girlfriend, authorities said. The Cavalier had been westbound on Route 64 in Kane County about 7:30 p.m. when it stopped for traf-

fic backed up because of a crash about a mile away. Ranken, a fifth-grader at North Elementary School in Sycamore, was pronounced dead the same day at Kishwaukee Community Hospital. Heroin metabolites were found in a sample of Black’s urine taken immediately after the crash, the news release states. If convicted of the most serious charge he faces, Black could be sentenced to up to 14 years in prison. He remains in Kane County
jail unable to post 10 percent of his $250,000 bail. His next court date there is Thursday. In DeKalb County, a judge removed Black from an electronic monitoring program Tuesday, court records show. He had been on the home monitoring since March 25 as part of his bail conditions for a felony theft case. Black is accused of stealing more than $4,000 of coiled copper and brass March 11 in Cortland. A deputy involved with the home monitoring program tried

The friend thought he looked like he had shot up heroin, but Black told authorities he had taken a painkiller and cough syrup with codeine. He tested positive for opiates. On April 11, a DeKalb County judge decided to keep him in the home monitoring program but ordered that he submit to random drug tests, court records show.

Karen Hoffman praises her 2-year-old Doberman pinscher, Emma, after practicing a technique correctly during a basic obedience class for dogs May 1 at Haish Gym in DeKalb. The basic obedience classes are held from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. every Wednesday at the gym. BELOW: Instructor Marcia Poff teaches a technique with her 5-year-old Doberman pinscher, Quincy. By STEPHANIE HICKMAN shickman@shawmedia.com When Marcia Poff first acquired Quincy, he was a terror. The Doberman pinscher was wild and out of control. But with a little love and a lot of training from Poff, he has grown to be a well-behaved companion. “I put the time into him and now he’s wonderful,” she said. “What a turnaround.” As a dog trainer for more than 40 years, Poff teaches multiple obedience and training classes at the DeKalb Park District for dog owners and their four-legged friends.
The class becomes more popular this time of year because more owners are able to work with their dogs outdoors. Sycamore police Lt. Darrell Johnson said the warmer weather also brings more misbehavior from dogs and their owners, as the department usually receives an increase in dog complaints and violations at this time. He said the most common incidents are excessive barking or whining complaints and leash law and excrement law violations, which both carry a $100 fine for the
CLEVELAND – One neighbor says a naked woman was seen crawling on her hands and knees in the backyard of the house a few years ago. Another heard pounding on the home’s doors and noticed plastic bags over the windows. Both times, police showed up but never went inside, neighbors say. Police also paid a visit to the house in 2004, but no one answered the door. Now, after three women who vanished a decade ago Onil Castro were found captive Monday at the rundown house, Cleveland police are facing questions for the second time in four years about their handling of Ariel Castro missing-person cases and are conducting an internal review to see if they overlooked anything. City Safety Director Martin Pedro Castro Flask said Tuesday that investigators had no record of anyone calling about criminal activity at the house but were still checking police, fire and emergency databases. The three women were rescued after one of them kicked out the bottom portion of a locked screen door and used a neighbor’s telephone to call 911. “Help me. I’m Amanda Berry,” she breathlessly told a dispatcher in a call that exhilarated and astonished much of the city. “I’ve been kidnapped, and I’ve been missing for 10 years and I’m, I’m here, I’m free now.”

Mystery of battleship unsolved VIEWS Jillian Duchnowski I don’t know who made the model ships floating in the retention ponds in the shopping center near Walmart, 2300 Sycamore Road, DeKalb. Whoever you (or they) are: You are awesome. Everyone reading this column is now pausing to applaud your creativity. And stealth. I’m sure of it. These little pieces of public art survived snowfall, ice and heavy rain. They still are floating carelessly, sharing the space with a little litter and a lot of geese. Some in the newsroom tease me for the affection I feel for these painted pieces of scrap wood and rusty nails, but I think of them as public art. I mentioned them in this column Feb. 20, hoping a reader would either 1. turn in the creator(s), or 2. claim the public acclaim that’s coming to him/her/them. I even pondered how I might verify that someone claiming to be a creator actually made something as cool and spontaneous as these model battleships. Nothing. Just an email from a reader suggesting I check out the shark fins in the retention pond closest to Party City, 2350 Sycamore Road. Indeed. They are there. But named or unnamed, whoever you are, whereever you are, I thank
WASHINGTON – Landmark immigration legislation is doomed to fail in Congress unless border-security provisions are greatly strengthened, Republican senators bluntly warned Tuesday. “If in fact the American people can’t trust that the border is controlled, you’re never going to be able to pass this bill,” declared Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, top Republican on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. His admonishment, joined by those of other GOP lawmakers, came as both Democratic and Republican senators filed a flurry of amendments ahead of the first votes Thursday in a separate committee on the far-reaching bill to deal with an estimated 11 million immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally and the millions more who might be expected to try to enter in the future. Some of the amendments could destroy the legislation’s prospects by upending the carefully crafted deal negotiated over months by four Republican and four Democratic senators, support-

If you ever decide to “sink” the battleships in mock war and real play, please invite me along. Only five times in your life: Speaking of happy things, John Ward of Sycamore got a little off topic during an interview last week. He described how he and about 50 other farmers helped Glenn Bolander harvest 380 acres of corn in October 2011. Bolander’s wife, Carol, was battling breast cancer, so Jim Jones of Sandwich organized the farming community so they could complete work that would have taken Bolander weeks alone within a couple of hours. There were so many farmers and equipment that DeKalb County Sher-
iff’s deputies helped control traffic while farming equipment moved around Route 23 between Genoa and Sycamore. As Ward described it, he was really touched to be a part of something so big and kind. He figured we all get five or six really good “feel good” times in our lives, and that was one of his. What’s one of yours?

ers say. Border security was the major sticking point Tuesday. “If we’re going to get immigration reform through, if you’re going to get it through the House, we’re going to have to do a whole lot more on what is the definition of a controlled border than what is in this bill,” said Coburn. Sens. Rand Paul, R-Ky., and Ron Johnson, R-Wis., voiced similar concerns at a hearing to examine border security provisions of the bill. One of the legislation’s authors, Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., has already acknowledged that the bill will face a tough road to passage if those elements are not made stronger, and in a statement Tuesday he welcomed possible changes. “In order for this bill to become law, it will have to be improved to bolster border security and enforcement even further and to limit the federal government’s discretionary power in applying the law. In addition, additional measures will be required to address potential costs to taxpayers,” Rubio said. Paul, a tea party favorite who has voiced support for comprehensive immigration overhaul, insisted his goal
in raising questions about the bill is to make it better so it can pass not just the Democratic-controlled Senate but also the Republican-run House. He denied that he’s out to kill the measure or slow it down. “I want to be constructive in making the bill strong enough that conservatives, myself included, conservative Republicans in the House, will vote for this, because I think immigration reform is something we should do,” Paul said. “If it’s not any stronger than this I don’t see it getting through the House.” Echoing concerns raised by a number of Republicans, Paul said that the bill relies too much on setting goals and requiring studies about border security instead of insisting on actual accomplishments. Under the bill, “You have to have a plan to build a fence, but you don’t have to build a fence,” he complained. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., an author of the legislation, defended the border security provisions and said that for some Republicans, border security is just their excuse to oppose immigration overhaul legislation.

Rebels at home keep Syria’s response options limited abroad By KARIN LAUB The Associated Press BEIRUT – The Syrian regime Tuesday dispatched an obscure proxy, a Damascus-based Palestinian militant group, to threaten retaliation for two Israeli airstrikes over the weekend. The relatively tepid response to Israel’s breach of Syrian sovereignty highlighted Syrian President Bashar Assad’s limited options as he, along with allies Iran and Lebanon’s Hezbollah, is bogged down at home in a fight for survival against armed rebels. Assad and visiting Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi denounced Israel on Tuesday, but stopped short of promising retaliation. Commenting on the airstrikes for the first time, Assad said Syria is “capable of facing Israel’s ventures” while Salehi said “it’s high
time to deter the Israeli occupation” from launching more attacks. The airstrikes, which Israeli officials say targeted advanced Iranian missiles intended for Hezbollah, marked a sharp escalation of Israel’s involvement in the Syrian civil war. They also raised fears that a conflict that has repeatedly spilled over Syria’s borders in the past 26 months could turn into a full-fledged regional war. Assad’s regime might be reluctant to open a new front against Israel with his army already stretched thin in the deadlocked fight with the rebels, but he has a history of operating through proxies such as Hezbollah. One Iranian official hinted the Islamic militant group might take the lead. Hezbollah has in the past struck Jewish or Israeli targets abroad. On Tuesday, the pro-government
newspaper al-Watan also said the Syrian leadership is now permitting Syrian-based Palestinian factions to “carry out anti-Israel attacks from the Golan and announced its readiness to provide the Lebanese resistance [Hezbollah] with all kinds of weapons.” The report said the Syrian army has a list of potential Israeli targets and they “would be bombarded in the event of any new Israeli aggression.” Israel’s government also appears to be steering away from broader confrontation. It has not confirmed officially that it was behind the attacks, but officials have said the strikes were meant to deprive Hezbollah of Iranian weapons shipped via Syria, not to target the Assad regime. Still, Israel risked getting drawn into the fighting by striking three times: once in January and then Fri-
day and Sunday. Israel also signaled it will keep hitting shipments of guided missiles and other advanced weapons if it suspects they are meant for Hezbollah, a militia it has fought repeatedly. Since the weekend, Syrian and Iranian officials have repeatedly condemned the Israeli attacks, but have not said what they would do in response. Hezbollah’s deputy chief, Sheik Naim Kassem, said in a speech at a Hezbollah rally Tuesday that Israel’s strikes “aim to boost the morale of terrorists,” a reference to the rebels. “At the end of the day, it’s an issue of survival [for Assad] and retaliation will further endanger that survival,” said Bilal Saab, director of the Institute for Near East and Gulf Military Analysis, North America. “The most existential threat [to the regime] is the rebels, not Israel.”

D-428 considers early childhood program By DAVE THOMAS dthomas@shawmedia.com DeKALB – DeKalb School District 428 officials are exploring the implementation of a permanent early childhood/ pre-kindergarten education program. While voicing support for the idea, school board members were cautious because of the program’s cost, and how it could affect where students go to school in the district. “I think from a budgetary
standpoint, I’d rather play this one a little more conservative,” said board President Tom Matya. The school board did not vote on the program Tuesday. That vote will be at a later date. The board instructed district staff to draft a proposal to repair Chesebro Elementary School, which will house the district’s proposed early childhood/pre-K program. Chesebro has not been used for educating students since 2011. The startup cost for the

program includes $425,000 in renovations to the building, records show. Matya indicated this funding could come from the $21 million construction grant the district has sit-
ting in its accounts. If the board approves the program, it will spend $719,000 in the first year to staff it and repair the school. The district will spend $210,000 a year for additional staffing for Cheseboro. While they acknowledged the educational benefits of having an early childhood/ pre-K program in one building, it was the costs of the program that gave officials pause.

Hoffman, 61, was stopped at the four-way stop intersection of Cherry Valley Road and Pearl Street at 7:49 a.m. when a Ford truck was driving eastbound on Cherry Valley toward the intersection, according to a DeKalb County Sheriff’s office news release.

She said the incident felt like it hit home for people in the running community like herself. “You start asking yourself, ‘How does this happen?’ “ Ricker said. Several days afterward, Flewelling, Ricker and a few other colleagues from the school district decided to host
a run of their own after reading online about other people organizing races in support of the victims. At first, they were planning on a small race, but then sought out more involvement and participation from coworkers at the school district, including Kathy Countryman, District 427 superintendent. Flewelling said they received more responses than
they thought they would. Priority Promotions, 337 E. State Sycamore St., donated shirts for the race, Ricker said. The shirts were sold to participants for $20. Ricker said about 125 shirts were sold. Some of the people who went to race bought a shirt but didn’t run, Ricker said. “It was a great turnout,” Ricker said. “... It was awesome.”
the Ford truck was not slowing for the stop sign, the release states. The truck, driven by Jack J. Carroll, 26, of North Augusta, S.C., struck Hoffman’s vehicle, the release states. Carroll was charged with disobeying a stop sign. Hoffman was transported to OSF St. Anthony Medical Center in Rockford, where he was later released.

Moorhouse, 60, of Sandwich, was indicted by a federal grand jury in Rockford and charged with four counts of bank fraud and two counts of making a false statement to a financial institution, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. Each count of bank fraud and making a false statement to
a financial institution carries a penalty of up to 30 years in prison, a fine of up to $1 million and a term of supervised release of up to five years after imprisonment, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. Moorhouse was president and majority owner of Jefso Manufacturing Co. and Fanplastic Molding Company. Moorhouse is scheduled to appear at the Federal Courthouse for an arraignment at 11 a.m. Thursday in Rockford.

DeKALB – The search is on for a new police chief at Northern Illinois University. NIU officials said Tuesday they are ready to launch a national search for a new chief of police for the DeKalb campus, with plans to have a new leader in place by the start of the fall semester. Candidate interviews should start in late July, giving the university about three months to find its new chief of police. Bill Nicklas, vice president of public safety, said the new department head will need to possess a few qualities in particular. “The chief has to be a teacher, a leader and an expert in campus law enforcement,” he said. The search comes months after the university’s former police chief, Donald Grady, was fired for his department’s mismanagement of the rape charges against former officer Andrew Rifkin. Darren Mitchell has been NIU’s acting police chief since Grady was dismissed Feb. 19. Nicklas said he was unsure if Mitchell was interested in the permanent role. Despite the challenges the NIU police have faced in the past few months with Grady’s claims of racism and the FBI serving a federal search warrant, the department has been working to move forward. They recently produced a new operations manual looking at how and why the department enforces different aspects of the law.
Trainer: No dog is ever beyond training
Bill Nicklas Northern Illinois University’s vice president of public safety Officers also have been co-policing the community with the DeKalb Police Department and building rapport with residents, Nicklas said. “It’s not enough to just be seen in a uniform in a vehicle,” Nicklas said. “You need to be able to connect with people.” The department has 63 sworn officers, but Nicklas said based on trends from similar campuses, he’d like to reduce that number to 60 through attrition over time. That would leave the department with three officers per 1,000 students, which is the national standard, he said. Nicklas said the ideal profile of the new police chief position will be reviewed with a search committee, but they are looking for someone who can fulfill the unique mission of the university’s police department. “[The new chief] should be a cop’s cop, who is steeped in diplomacy and prepared at any time to work with colleagues in other departments on campus,” he said.
Proceeds will be donated to Adventure Works of DeKalb County.

• TRAINING Continued from page A1 first offense and $200 for the second. “Even if your dog is on a leash, it still has to be under your control,” Johnson said. That’s an area where Poff can be of assistance. She teaches various obedience techniques including how to get a dog to sit, stay and come, even when they’re distracted by others or in a large crowd. Her program spans eight weeks, which Poff said is enough time to see a noticeable difference with the fully trained dog. But that’s contingent upon how often the owner works with them, she said. Poff suggested working with the dog for 30 minutes six days a week in order for the training to stick. “If they would put that time into it, at the end of the eight weeks, they’ll have a remarkable dog,” she said. Johnson said owners generally are responsible for keeping their pets under control, whether it be through training or making sure they adhere to municipal codes. “It’s all about being considerate of others and neighborhoods,” he said.

fsarver@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – The bombings at the Boston Marathon made Travis Flewelling eager to run the race in the future to show support for the victims. “I’m putting that on my bucket list,” said Flewelling, school psychologist for Sycamore Community School District 427. Flewelling, along with several other Sycamore school district employees, held their own race to support the families of the three people who were killed and 264 who were injured in the bombing near the finish line of marathon April 15. They hosted a two-mile solidarity run for the Boston Marathon bombing victims. The run was held Monday near North Elementary School at 1680 Brickville Road.

Poff said even if a dog appears friendly, still approach it from the side and don’t look it in the eyes. But approaching a dog that appears to be scared or violent is sometimes best left up to trained officials. No matter how troubled a dog may seem, Poff said it is never beyond help or training. “There’s hope for all of them,” she said. “Some will be better than others. You can train them and make them a good 95 percent to 100 percent better. But it depends how much time you put into them.”

DeKalb police seek man in connection with drug overdose By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Authorities are searching for a 27-year-old man accused of supplying heroin to a DeKalb woman who overdosed in a coin laundry bathroom March 5 and died three days later. Christopher T. Davis, formerly of the 800 block of West Hillcrest Drive, was charged Tuesday with drug-induced homicide, which can be Christopher p u n i s h a b l e T. Davis with between six and 30 years in prison. This is the first drug-induced homicide DeKalb police have handled this year, DeKalb Police Lt. Robert Redel said. They typically handle a couple of drug-induced homicide cases each year, usually involving heroin.
Heroin is highly addictive, and users develop a tolerance over time but don’t know the purity of the drugs they buy or what other substances it is mixed with, Redel said. “Bottom line, any drug you buy off the street, you don’t know what you’re buying,” Redel said. In this case, DeKalb police found a 33-year-old woman passed out in the bathroom at Double Bubble Coin Laundry, 850 Pappas Drive, Redel said. The woman was taken to Kishwaukee Community Hospital and put on life support. She died three days later, and a coroner determined it was from a lethal dose of heroin, Redel said. Redel said the DeKalb police learned that Davis was her supplier. Police believe Davis no longer lives on West Hillcrest Drive and is near Chicago, Redel said. By Tuesday afternoon, Davis had not been arrested.
8STATE BRIEFS GOP: Chair’s resignation the time to reboot CHICAGO – Republicans say the resignation of Illinois GOP Chairman Pat Brady is a chance to change directions and correct mistakes that led to big Election Day losses. That means choosing a replacement who can unite different factions on the political spectrum and who’s also good at the basics. That includes overseeing voter registration operations, fundraising and public speaking. Brady cited his wife’s battle with cancer in his Tuesday resignation letter. But his decision also came after some party officials tried hard to boot him from office after he publicly said he supported same-sex marriage. The Republican State Central Committee is narrowing the list of potential candidates.
Illinois tax revenue to top forecast by $1.3 billion CHICAGO – Illinois was able to pay some overdue bills this spring because of an unexpected influx in tax revenues as businesses and individuals rushed to sell assets before federal taxes increased, Gov. Pat Quinn said Tuesday. Income tax revenue for 2013 was expected to top forecasts by $1.3 billion, Quinn said. The
state has received part of this money throughout the tax season, and the comptroller’s office has used it to pay off part of the state’s debt with vendors and service providers. Illinois currently owes these groups about $5 billion – $4 billion less than it did in the fall The state’s debt, however, was expected to rise in the upcoming months as tax revenue coming into the state decreases during the summer, a spokesman for the comptroller’s office said.
U of I alumni group wants to bring back mascot CHAMPAIGN – A group of University of Illinois graduates who in the past portrayed Chief Illiniwek is pitching a plan to bring back the former mascot. But the top official at the school said she won’t back the idea, and the leader of the tribe that would need to agree said that means he can’t support it, either. The group, known as the Council of Chiefs, has asked the university to let the mascot return to two campus events a year for two trial years and is trying to get support from American Indians for the idea, according to Steve Raquel. He’s a past chief and president of the group.

FBI official: Prayers answered • RESCUE Continued from page A1 Berry, 27, Michelle Knight, 32, and Gina DeJesus, about 23, had apparently been held captive in the house since their teens or early 20s, police Chief Michael McGrath said. Three brothers, ages 50 to 54, were arrested. One of them, former school bus driver Ariel Castro, owned the home, situated in a poor neighborhood dotted with boarded-up houses just south of downtown. No charges were filed. A relative of the three brothers said their family was “totally shocked” after hearing about the missing women being found at the home. Juan Alicea said the arrests of his wife’s brothers had left relatives “as blindsided as anyone else” in their community. He said he hadn’t been to the home of his brother-in-law Ariel Castro since the early 1990s but had eaten dinner with Castro at a different brother’s house shortly before the arrests were made Monday. A 6-year-old girl believed to be Berry’s daughter also was found in the home, police Deputy Chief Ed Tomba said. He would not say who the father was.
The women were reported by police to be in good health and were reunited with joyous family members but remained in seclusion. “Prayers have finally been answered. The nightmare is over,” said Stephen Anthony, head of the FBI in Cleveland. “Words can’t describe the emotions being felt by all. Yes, law enforcement professionals do cry.” Police would not say how the women were taken captive or how they were hidden in the neighborhood where they had vanished. Investigators also would not say whether they were kept in restraints inside the house or sexually assaulted. Four years ago, in another poverty-stricken part of town, police were heavily criticized following the discovery of 11 women’s bodies in the home and backyard of Anthony Sowell, who was later convicted of murder and sentenced to death. The families of Sowell’s victims accused police of failing to properly investigate the disappearances because most of the women were addicted to drugs and poor. For months, the stench of death hung over the house, but it was blamed on a sausage factory next door.

NIU’s wish list for new campus police leader
In Texas, black means future danger If the state of Texas executes Duane Buck, it’ll be because he is black. Well, mainly it will be because in 1995, he shot his ex-girlfriend, Debra Gardner, and her friend, Kenneth Butler, to death at Gardner’s Houston home, and also wounded his own stepsister, Phyllis Taylor. But it will also be because he’s black. In Texas, they have this rule: A jury contemplating the death penalty must evaluate the likelihood a defendant poses a future danger to the community. Jurors in Buck’s trial were told he poses said danger because he is a black man. Mind you, this came from a defense witness, whose ultimate finding was that Buck himself represented little danger. But, said psychologist Walter Quijano, “It’s a sad commentary that minorities, Hispanics and black people, are overrepresented in the criminal justice system.” When asked by the prosecutor whether “the race factor, black, increases the future dangerousness,” Quijano answered, “Yes.” So Buck sits on death row awaiting an appeals court ruling on his bid for a new sentencing hearing. Not a new trial, you understand. No one disputes his guilt – or the monstrousness of his crime. But about the sentence, there is plenty of dispute, enough that his surviving victim and Linda Geffin, a prosecutor who helped convict him, both think he should get a new hearing. In 2000, Sen. John Cornyn, then Texas attorney general, identified six capital cases, including Buck’s, in which Quijano
VIEWS Leonard Pitts gave similar testimony and conceded the state erred in allowing race to be used as a sentencing factor. The other five defendants – all black or Hispanic – received new sentencing hearings. All were re-sentenced to death. Buck was denied a new hearing. Why? Buck’s attorney, Christina Swarns, director of the Criminal Justice Project at the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, says the only explanation she’s heard “is it’s because Quijano was called as a defense witness. That would sound like a plausible explanation, if not that Quijano was called as a defense witness in two of the other cases in which they did concede error.” Sara Marie Kinney, a spokesperson for the Harris County DA, says there’s a difference: in Buck’s case, the offending testimony came on direct examination – “not on cross.” In other words, the defense brought it up first. Whatever. There is something viscerally ... wrong in relying upon so flimsy a rationale to justify so blatant an appeal to bias. But race, argues Kinney, was not the only factor in the jury’s decision. Buck, she notes, “was a violent offender who systematically killed these people. ... He checks all the boxes for the appropriate penalty being
the death sentence.” Quijano, by the way, stands by his testimony. He told The New York Times, “The literature suggests ... correlation” between race and threat. It is not, he said, “the blackness of the person that is causing the violence. It is what goes with it. Poverty, the exposure to lack of education, exposure to criminal elements.” Psychology professor John Monahan, whose writings Quijano cited among the “literature,” told the Times his work supports no such conclusion. Race, he said, “plays at most an extremely small role” in predicting future violent acts. Moreover, it is specious in the extreme to act as if poverty, crime and ignorance are some natural outgrowth of blackness. They are not. They were imposed upon black people by generations of oppressive law, policy and custom. To act as if they are somehow endemic to blackness is like accusing a woman of walking funny after you have cut off her feet. What we have here, then, is but the latest example of a “justice” system bloodied and soiled by racial bias. If Duane Buck is killed, it will be in part because an “expert” stoked a jury’s fear of the scary black man. That is not just wrong. It is obscene.

But you’ll be paddling upstream trying to pitch that as much of an edge to most industries pondering whether to leave Illinois. Let’s face it – the Illinois we love isn’t as competitive as it should be. And most of the excuses we hear from Quinn, don’t, well, hold water. Illinois has the fourth-highest corporate income tax in the industrialized world according to the Tax Foundation. No one wants to start a business to see potential profits siphoned away by the government. That’s one reason why low-tax states such as Texas are prospering. Our regulatory environment also is not the most appealing in the nation. The high cost of workers’ compensation insurance and other regulatory issues are contributing reasons to why factories are vanishing from the landscape of Illinois. But instead of a reasoned response to these concerns, Pat Quinn points to water. He’s all wet.

It sounds as though Northern Illinois University officials are looking for a markedly different leader for NIU’s 63-officer police department. In light of the scandals of the past several months, that would seem to be entirely appropriate. Bill Nicklas, NIU’s vice president of public safety and community relations, said Tuesday that the university wants its next chief to be a teacher, a leader, and expert on campus law enforcement. They’re looking for someone who will work with colleagues at a moment’s notice, which would seem to mean someone who will accept and offer help when it comes to community policing issues, as well as work with others who work at NIU. Nicklas also said they’re looking someone who can be diplomatic. That would seem to indicate that looking intimidating in a uniform will be less important. “We’re not looking for someone aloof from the university’s mission,” Nicklas said. Sounds like a great start. To that, we would add that the next chief should not be aloof when it comes to explaining the police department’s goals and priorities to the public. They should also be brave enough to speak to the news media when there are important questions about events or investigations. Taxpayers would also probably like the next chief to earn a salary that is comparable to that of other university police chiefs in the state without being the highest paid. The scandals of the past several months must have proven frustrating at times for the rank-and-file officers of the university’s police department. It would seem only natural that people whose job is to enforce the law might be aggravated or embarrassed at seeing their police station subject to a daylong FBI search, as was the case in February. Likewise, having the department’s investigative methods publicly criticized by a judge and state’s attorney – as occurred with the rape case against former NIU police officer Andrew Rifkin in November – was probably a source of some irritation. The subsequent suspension and later firing of Chief Donald Grady, for which the Rifkin case was a catalyst, also brought more negative headlines. However, those allegations are more about isolated incidents, and should not be considered a stain on the integrity of the entire police department. Officials seem to be on the right track as far as the qualities they are looking for in a new police chief. Finding the right person will be key to allowing the department to move past the bad publicity.

Raising speed limit right move on rural highways Illinois lawmakers appear to be on board with raising the state’s rural interstate speed limit to 70 mph – a 5 mph increase over the current 65 mph limit. Last week the state Senate overwhelmingly supported the hike in a 41-6 vote. The legislation, Senate Bill 2536, now goes to the Illinois House for consideration. The increase would apply to rural interstates and tollways. Urban areas, such as Cook County and the Metro East, would be able to post lower interstate speed limits if they wish. The increase would not apply to four-lane, divided state highways. There is no good argument for keeping Illinois’ speed limit at 65 under the parameters outlined in the bill. The National Motorists Association, which supports higher speed limits, suggests speed limits should be based on “sound traffic-engineering principles that consider responsible motorists’ actual travel speeds.” Well, on Illinois’ rural interstates, the majority of drivers actually are traveling well over 65 mph – more like 70 to 75 mph. We’ve all seen it. Drive 65 or slower on Interstate 55 and you run the risk of being blown off the highway, honked at or rudely gestured to. According to the association, states across the country gradually have been raising interstate speed limits since 1995, when Congress allowed states to do so. Illinois is one of 16 states that have a rural interstate speed limit for cars that is 65 mph or lower. Thirty-four states are above 65 mph, including Missouri, Indiana and Iowa. But the Illinois Department of Transportation and other highway safety groups are concerned that Illinois’ traffic fatalities will spike as a result of the higher interstate speed limit. While we support raising the speed limit, we caution drivers to use common sense and good driving principles on the road. Sen. Jim Oberweis, R-Sugar Grove, who sponsored the bill, said he doesn’t believe people who already speed now will just drive even faster if the limit is raised. We agree with Oberweis. If officials are concerned about excessive speeding and the possible repercussions, we encourage the Illinois State Police and other law enforcement agencies to crack down on speeding on the interstates and send a message that flouting the state’s speed limit won’t be tolerated.

Wuerffel, Frazier, Dayne selected for college Hall NEW YORK – The only time Tommie Frazier (above) and Danny Wuerffel shared the field during their brilliant college careers, Frazier’s Nebraska team trampled Wuerffel and Florida in the 1996 Fiesta Bowl to win the national championship. Wuerffel and the Gators bounced back from that record-breaking 62-24 smackdown to take the title the next season. The former quarterbacks will cross paths again in December, when they are inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. Wuerffel and Frazier, along with Heisman Trophy winner Ron Dayne, highlighted the latest Hall of Fame class of 12 players and two coaches announced by the National Football Foundation on Tuesday. The rest of the players to be inducted in Manhattan are: Miami Heisman winner Vinny Testaverde, whose selection was announced Monday; Ted Brown of North Carolina State; Tedy Bruschi of Arizona; Jerry Gray of Texas; Steve Meilinger of Kentucky; Orlando Pace of Ohio State; Rod Shoate of Oklahoma; Percy Snow of Michigan State; and Don Trull of Baylor.

Barbs score late, hold off final charge from Spartans
SYCAMORE – For 80 minutes, the Sycamore and Kaneland girls soccer teams tried to figure out each other Tuesday. The Spartans tried to break through an organized Kaneland defense and beat Daily Chronicle All-Area goalkeeper Jordan Ginther, and the Knights tried to counter attack their way to victory. But neither team gained an edge in the scoreless tie, and now the two teams will play for second place in the Northern Illinois Big 12 East in the second leg of a home-and-home series that concludes today. “I liked what we did on the field,” Sycamore coach Dave Lichamer said. “I would’ve liked maybe some stronger chances in front of the goal, it seemed like we were settling maybe for a little bit of range. I’m sure thinking about who’s in the goal makes you second-guess or re-think some of your shots.” The Spartans (6-9-2, 5-12 NI Big 12 East) controlled the flow of play for most of the match.
See SOCCER, page B3 By STEVE NITZ snitz@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Morgan Newport hadn’t been in a high-pressure situation quite like this as a high school pitcher. The bases were loaded with two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning and Newport’s DeKalb Barbs led Sycamore
by one run at a packed Mary M. Bell Field on the campus of Northern Illinois University. The Barbs’ freshman was on the mound facing Spartans senior Abby Foulk. With a 3-1 count, Newport made her pitch, getting Foulk to bounce the ball right in front of home plate and all DeKalb catcher Lindsey Cost-
liow had to do was pick up the ball and throw Foulk out at first for a 4-3 Barbs win. With no room for error, Newport wanted to pitch Foulk inside. “I wanted to jam her in a little bit,” Newport said. “But Abby’s a great hitter and I knew that I was going to have to throw a really good pitch.”
Newport relieved DeKalb starter Katie Kowalski, who gave up an unearned run on three hits in her five innings of work. Kowalski is still recovering from an injury, and DeKalb coach Jeff Davis wants to make sure she’s healthy for the postseason.

NBA PLAYOFFS: EASTERN CONFERENCE SEMIFINALS, GAME 2, BULLS AT MIAMI, 6 P.M. TODAY, TNT, AM-1000
Heat, Bulls both looking for Game 2 improvements By TIM REYNOLDS The Associated Press MIAMI – The Miami Heat have been in this less-thanideal spot before. They trailed Indiana in the Eastern Conference semifinals last season, needed to win a pair of elimination games against Boston in the East finals and then dropped Game 1 of the NBA Finals to Oklahoma City. And when it was all said and done, the Heat walked away with the title. So that might explain why there was no sense of panic in Heat land Tuesday, and not even much of a sense of anger. Dropping Game 1 of the East semifinals to the Bulls on Monday night was hardly what the Heat wanted, though could end up serving
as a wake-up call for a team that made it through a 66-win regular season without many rough patches. “We haven’t lost in a while, so it was very different to come in here and deal with a loss and to deal with it in the playoffs at home,” Heat guard Dwyane Wade said after a video-and-practice session. “It was different from the standpoint of what we’ve been used to lately, but not anything different from what we’ve been used to as a team. We’ve been in tough moments. We’ve lost games before.” The Bulls’ 93-86 win in the series opener was filled with statistical anomalies, such as Miami shooting just under 40 percent (its second-worst showing in 87 games overall this season) and the Bulls scoring 35 points in the fourth
quarter – matching the most the Heat allowed in the final 12 minutes of regulation all season. Still, the Heat know some things still need to change, and in a hurry, or else the reigning champions could be in a gigantic amount of trouble. “Playoffs are all about revealing who you are,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “It’s either a win or a loss, and so we lost the first game. We have to figure it out, somehow, some way, to win the next game. And that’s all it is. “We have to fight for our playoff lives right now, to play a much harder and much AP photo more committed game togethBulls coach Tom Thibodeau reacts to a call during the first half of er [tonight].”

NBA
Harvey dominant as White Sox lose The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK – Matt Harvey pitched one-hit ball for nine innings in a nearly perfect performance and the New York Mets permitted just one baserunner all game in beating the White Sox, 1-0, in the 10th Tuesday night. Harvey allowed only an infield single by Alex Rios with two outs in the seventh – he was safe, barely. The right-hander struck out a career-high 12 and was pulled when the game went to extra innings. Pinch-hitter Mike Baxter lined an RBI single with one out in the 10th off Nate Jones (0-3). Mets reliever Bobby Parnell (3-0) retired all three batters in the 10th.

Desmond Jennings’ second-inning liner caromed off the left side of Happ’s head, and the ball went all the way into the right-field bullpen. Happ fell down at the front of the
• HAWKS Continued from page B1 “Family comes first in a situation like that,” said Quenneville, who has coached Keith since 2008. “We’d want him to be there before his child was born. “In this situation, it’s an easy decision. We’re very happy that he was there in time. It all worked out.” Say cheese: Hawks players were happy to look out on the ice and see feisty forward Dan-
iel Carcillo, who made his series debut after sitting out the first three playoff games as a healthy scratch. “He’s a good player,” Hawks forward Viktor Stalberg said. “We know that he’s a little rat out there. He runs around and likes to talk a lot.” Carcillo, 28, has yapped his way through seven seasons and four postseasons. As a member of the Philadelphia Flyers in 2010, he had six points (2 G, 4 A) and 34 penalty minutes in 17 playoff games. A low-energy loss in Game

Jennings and players on both teams stood with their hands on their heads, visibly concerned about Happ. The left-hander was immobilized on a stretcher and waved with his right hand as he was wheeled off the field.
3 prompted Quenneville to insert Carcillo into the lineup. “I think he’s one of those guys who brings energy to your team and enthusiasm,” Quenneville said. Make coffee: The NHL announced an 8:30 p.m. start time Thursday for Game 5 between the Hawks and the Minnesota Wild at the United Center. That marks the third later-than-normal start of the series for the teams, who also met at 8:30 p.m. for Games 2 and 4. Those who stay up for the game will be able to watch
it on Comcast SportsNet and NBC Sports Network, while the radio broadcast will be on WGN-AM 720. Hawks bits: Although Henrik Karlsson served as the Hawks’ backup goaltender again for Game 4, Quenneville said that Ray Emery was “close” to returning from a lower-body injury. Emery took part in the Hawks’ morning skate and showed no signs of injury. … To clear space for Carcillo, second-year forward Brandon Bollig was a healthy scratch for the Hawks.
Bulls expected to be without Deng, Hinrich again Continued from page B1 Oddly, the same sentiments were being uttered a few miles south of where Spoelstra was standing, with the Bulls saying many of the same things after reviewing tape at their hotel. The Bulls’ lineup isn’t expected to change for Game 2. Luol Deng, who needed a spinal tap to rule out meningitis last week, still is not with the team, and coach Tom Thibodeau said a decision about flying him to Miami likely wouldn’t be made until this morning – so, barring a seismic change in thinking, there is no way he would play tonight. And guard Kirk Hinrich was limping when the team exited the conference room it used for meetings, suggesting that the calf injury he’s dealing with could keep him out of a fifth straight game. Then again, the Bulls showed Monday that even their depleted crew is more than good
enough to win. Nate Robinson scored 27 points in the opener, after needing 10 stitches during the game to close a nasty cut on his chin. He came into Monday averaging 9.6 points in 25 previous appearances against Miami. That’s how good it’s going for the Bulls right now. “We’re not satisfied,” Bulls center Joakim Noah said. “We’ve been getting some big victories the last couple games, but we’re not satisfied. We’re going to stay hungry, make our adjustments and try to play even better.” The Bulls haven’t won three straight road games since mid-January. They have a chance to pull that off Wednesday, coming off a Game 7 win in Brooklyn on Saturday and then stunning Miami in Game 1 two nights later. If this keeps up, the Bulls might struggle to keep the underdog status that it somehow converts into fuel. “The outside shouldn’t mat-
ter. It really shouldn’t,” Thibodeau said. “The only thing that matters, really, is what we think. So whether it’s praise or criticism from the outside, that’s not important. It’s what we think on the inside. So we know if we do the right things that go into winning, we’re going to have a chance to win and that’s all we want to focus in on. All the other stuff, I think, just gets you distracted.” Noah said he was planning to sit in the sunshine on Tuesday, sip water, maybe squeeze a nap or a massage into his afternoon agenda. In other words, he was basically going to have a mini-vacation. Make no mistake, though. The Bulls are taking this opportunity super-seriously. That’s why the theme of their meetings on Tuesday was about ways to get better. “Everything,” guard Jimmy Butler – who has played all 48 minutes in three straight games – said when asked about which areas where the Bulls need to
see improvement in Game 2. “We made a lot of mistakes in our offense, our defense. They missed a lot of open shots and we made some shots. I feel that we can execute better, and we will.” There’s no arguing Miami can execute better. Or at least, shoot better. The tape confirmed what the stat sheet, their eyes, and the eyes of everyone else who watched Game 1 said: Miami missed tons of open shots Monday night. So while there will be adjustments to make, the simplest way for the Heat to get back on track is just make more shots, easy as that sounds. “It ain’t about Xs and Os in this series,” Heat forward and four-time NBA MVP LeBron James said. “It’s about will and determination to win the series, for both teams. ... We want our shooters to shoot and they will continue to shoot because we will continue to find them. We’ve got the utmost confidence in them.”

G-K’s Neisendorf looks to make history By ROSS JACOBSON rjacobson@shawmedia.com The biggest issue for Genoa-Kingston senior Danielle Neisendorf coming into this season was her health. For the past two seasons, Neisendorf has fought through injuries, managing to reach the state meet at less than 100 percent. This year has been no different as the senior missed two weeks with a shin injury, but pushed through to win the high jump at 5-4. “She’s still battling some issues,” G-K coach Barry Schmidt said. “I had her in the open 200 [at Big Northern Conference meet], but it’s just too much.” If Neisendorf clears 5-2, the Class 2A qualifying height, she’ll become the first G-K girls track athlete to go to state all four years. Hoping to join her will be teammate Brianna Kramer, who ran a personal-best of 48.09 in the 300 hurdles at the Big Northern Conference meet. Her time is only .25 seconds off the Class 2A qualifying time of 47.84. “Brianna has really come on late the last couple weeks,” Schmidt said. “She’s right there, she’s right there.” Clinton to run: One athlete who was noticeably absent from last week’s conference meets was Kaneland’s Victoria Clinton.

But Clinton will be running at sectionals after missing last week’s meet because of a
Continued from page B1 But they couldn’t create the type of chances that could come close to beating Ginther, especially in the first half. Most of Sycamore chances came from outside the penalty area, and that had plenty to do with Kaneland’s (8-4-3, 5-1-2 NI Big 12 East) freshman sweeper, Sage Schlehofer, who was in the right spot time after time to intercept through passes and to stop the Sycamore attack. “I couldn’t ask for a better sweeper, I’m proud to have her in front of me,” Ginther said. “If I didn’t have her in front of me, there definitely would’ve been more breakaways and harder shots.” But Sycamore did have a few opportunities to score. Katherine Kohler had the
conflict with a national triathlon competition. Clinton will run the 1,600 for Kaneland while senior Abby Dodis and Brianna Bower will be the Knights’ two entries in the
3,200. [Dodis] has run the qualifying time [of 11:48] once,” Kaneland coach Doug Ecker said. “She’ll have to do that at the sectional. She’s run well for us.”
Managing athletes, entries not an easy task It’s not easy being a track and field coach, managing a team of 50-plus athletes spread over a variety of events. Sometimes the most important coaching decisions are made before the meet even starts and none are more crucial than setting a team’s postseason lineup. It’s a complicated process that has to take into consideration the meet’s schedule of events, the preferences of each individual athlete, and the strengths of the entire team.
VIEWS Ross Jacobson Kaneland coach Doug Ecker faced a difficult decision with junior Lauren Zick, who is coming off three conference titles in the 100-meters, 200 and 400 last weekend. In the end, Kaneland decided to use her in the long jump, 4x100 and 4x400

first legitimate chance of the match for Sycamore in the 20th minute when she took a shot from outside the penalty area, but her attempt went wide. In the 43rd minute, Sycamore’s Alyssa Maillefer took a volley from the top of the box that went just wide. Kohler finally broke through the Kaneland defense in the 52nd minute, when she charged into the box, but Ginther came off of her line to corral the ball before the Sycamore junior could shoot. The Spartans had perhaps their best chance of the match with just more than three minutes remaining when Maillefer dribbled to the corner of the penalty area and took a hard shot to the near upper corner, but Ginther deflected the shot away. Despite the strong defensive performance, Kaneland
coach Scott Parillo wasn’t ecstatic about his team’s play. “Not one of our better efforts,” Parillo said. “We’ve got to come out with a little more intensity tomorrow. Sycamore’s a good team. … It’s going to be a battle. I think we realize that now. Nothing’s going to be easy about this. I think we certainly have respect for Sycamore.” Injuries to Sycamore’s Alyssa Hemmerich and Lauren Miller may affect today’s match, and the Spartans will have to make a few tactical adjustments if they want to crack the Kaneland defense. “We’ll have to change what we’re doing right in front of the box,” Lichamer said. “It’s going to be different movement up top. I don’t know if that’ll necessarily mean different personnel up front. … If Lauren’s out, we’ll certainly have to shift our lineup.”
relays. She’ll also run the open 100 or 400. Ecker said the open 200 is Zick’s favorite race, but using her in the 4x400, which immediately follows the 200 as the meet’s last event, meant Zick would have to forego the 200. Distance runners have an even tricker proposition as the longer races have a bigger impact on their ability to recover quickly, especially on back-toback days in Charleston at the state meet. For the most part, coaches try
to get the most athletes possible down to the state meet with some special consideration made to seniors. “You just kind of pick and choose what ones you think you can qualify in,” Ecker said. “Just trying to get them down [to state], putting them in position.”

SOFTBALL: KANELAND 7, MORRIS 2
Newport holds off Sycamore
Knights jump out to early lead in win
• COMPOSURE
By JARED BIRCHFIELD sports@daily-chronicle.com MAPLE PARK – The Kaneland softball team was hitting on all cylinders at the start of its 7-2 victory over Morris Tuesday afternoon. The Knights scored all seven runs in the first two innings of the contest and Paige Kuefler hit a two-run home run to left center in the second. However, Kaneland coach Brian Willis said his team may have eased up on the gas pedal after a nice start. “I thought we came out
and played well at the beginning,� Willis said. “I thought we got into coast mode a little bit. It seems like we were content with seven runs.� We hit into some bad luck as well. We played well enough to win, but we didn’t play as well as we could all seven innings. “ Kuefler was responsible for four of Kaneland’s runs. The sophomore’s single to center scored Lexi Roach for the team’s first run of the game in the opening frame. Kuefler scored two batters later when she stole third base and went home when
ball went into the outfield. “I wasn’t expecting any particular pitch,� Kuefler said about her home run. “In my head I was just asking for a good pitch.� Kaneland (15-3, 7-1 Northern Illinois Big 12 East) sent nine batters to the plate in the second. Allie Miller started the rally by reaching on an error and Meg Cohrs followed with a single to right. Two batters later, Allyson O’Herron rapped out the third single of the inning that scored Miller. Cohrs crossed the plate on a pass ball during
Kuefler’s at bat. A Sarah Grams single plated Lanie Callaghan with the final run. Ellissa Eckert went the distance for the win, scattering eight hits and issuing no walks to Morris (5-15, 3-6) batters. Gualandi’s double in the sixth was the only extra base hit Eckert allowed. “Overall all she threw well today� Willis said. “They didn’t hit her very hard today, but they hit some balls that seemed to have eyes and got through our infield.�
PREP ROUNDUP
Continued from page B1 Newport surrendered a two-out, two-run double to Sycamore designated player Paige Bjork in the sixth. Sycamore (9-13, 3-6 NI Big 12 East) loaded the bases in the seventh with an error, walk and a hit, but Newport got the three outs she needed to give the Barbs (17-4, 5-2 Northern Illinois Big 12 East) a win. “I thought Morgan held her composure real well. It was a nice little icebreaker for her to pitch on the big stage under the lights, getting two innings in,� Davis said. “And she picks up the victory. Unfortunate for Katie, but good for Morgan and good for the Barbs.� The Spartans fell just short, but Sycamore coach
DeKalb girls soccer clinches conference title By DAILY CHRONICLE STAFF sports@daily-chronicle.com DeKalb girls soccer defeated Morris, 4-0, on Tuesday afternoon and clinched the Northern Illinois Big 12 East title after Sycamore and Kaneland played to a scoreless tie. Kelli Cardine, Leah Fassig, Morgan Beaty and Kayla Perkins each had goals for DeKalb (12-1-2, 8-0-1 NI Big 12 East) while Cardine and Beaty also had an assist each. After winning the BarbFest and conference championships, DeKalb now turns its attention to the postseason plaque that has escaped them in recent years. “The third [goal] is to get that ever-elusive regional championship,� DeKalb coach Phil Rouse said. “We’re going to try to get healthy this week and get ready for Saturday.�
Royals roll: Hinckley-Big Rock scored five goals in the first half on its way to an 8-0 win over Plano in the Class A Hinckley-Big Rock Regional semifinals. Lauren Paver had four goals while Jacqueline Madden recorded two goals and two assists. Kimmy Weissinger and Andrea Binkley each had an assist while Mallory Drendel got on the scoresheet with an assist. Jordan Bullard posted the shutout in net for H-BR. The Royals (11-6-2) advance to play Aurora Central Catholic on Saturday at noon in the regional finals. T’wolves advance: Indian Creek defeated Mendota, 3-1, in the Class 1A Genoa-Kingston Regional semifinals. Christina Sommerfeld, Madison Spooner and Bailey Martenson each had goals while Sommerfeld also tallied an assist. Josie Diehl made six
saves, including stopping a Mendota penalty kick.
SOFTBALL Cogs throw perfect game: Danielle Engel and Baylie Ullmark combined to throw a five-inning perfect game in a 16-0 win over North Boone. Paige Keegan, Amy Clark and Ullmark each had three hits for the Cogs (15-4, 5-3 Big Northern Conference East). The Cogs play at Marengo today, resuming a previous game that was previously suspended in the fourth inning with a 0-0 score.
BASEBALL Barbs down Rochelle: Corey Nelson gave up one earned run in seven innings while striking out six and the Barbs defeated Rochelle, 8-2. Jared Johnson went 3 for 3 with two doubles, three runs scored and an RBI at the plate for DeKalb.
Sycamore falls to Yorkville:
The Spartans lost, 9-5, to Yorkville on the road. Nathan Haacker had two hits for Sycamore (19-7, 10-4 NI Big 12 East) while Cooper Vinz drove in two runs. Sycamore plays Yorkville at home on Thursday for a chance at the conference title.
Morris edges Kaneland: Morris defeated Kaneland, 7-6. The Knights scored five in the first inning, but couldn’t hang on. Josh Cohrs went 1 for 3 with a double and two RBIs for Kaneland (10-13, 7-7 NI Big 12 East).
MONDAY’S LATE RESULTS SOCCER Cogs fall: Genoa-Kingston lost to Burlington Central, 7-1, on the road. Nicole Hebel scored the lone goal for the Cogs (7-12, 5-7 Big Northern Conference East). The Cogs play Hiawatha today at 4:30 p.m.
Jill Carpenter was able to watch her team come through in some clutch moments in its comeback attempt. “I think all year we’ve been a team, we’ve been pretty steady with our demeanor. We don’t experience too many highs and lows, which can be good and not good,� Carpenter said. “But we got in a situation where we needed a hit and Paige Bjork came up with a really big hit in that at-bat [in the sixth.] “... All you can ever ask for is a chance at the end of a game, and we had a chance. Sometimes it goes your way and sometimes it doesn’t.� Carpenter also mentioned that Tuesday’s game featured a playoff atmosphere, something a lot of prep players don’t get to experience at the beginning of May.

Healthy French toast hides layer of chocolate Time for a confession. As a child, I never once celebrated Mother’s Day. My parents thought the holiday was nothing more than a cheesy excuse to sell greeting cards, and who was I to argue? But after I became a mother myself? Oh. My. God. I’d spent years working 80 hours a week as a restaurant chef, and that was nothing compared with the amount of work required of the mother of a newborn. I buckled down and got the job done, but not without help. And not before establishing in our house we’d most certainly be celebrating Mother’s Day. And not just once a year, but once a week. Every Sunday. At my insistence, The Husband did just as much diaperchanging, baby-bathing and bottle-feeding as yours truly. I also charged him with preparing and serving me breakfast in bed Sunday mornings. Of course, he’s not really a cook, not even much of a home cook, so I reassured him the meal didn’t have to be fancy. All I needed was a cup of hot coffee and something on a plate or in a bowl that I could eat at my leisure behind the closed door to our bedroom while I read all the magazines that had been piling up since the blessed event occurred. I looked forward to that little staycation all week long. Once Ruthie – our dear daughter – began to grow up, she and I started baking together. Our first project was pizza. Nothing if not kid-friendly, pizza is just as much fun to knead and shape as Play-Doh. Meanwhile, I was doing my best to keep sugar from entering Miss Ruth’s ecosystem. Sure enough, somehow someone at some point introduced her to
EVERYDAY DINNERS Sara Moulton sweets, and to ice cream and chocolate in particular. (Let’s blame her young baby sitter.) With the genie out of the bottle, I added some sweet items to our mother-daughter repertoire. Then, when Ruthie was about 5, I invented a special recipe just for her. It incorporated two of her favorite things, French toast and chocolate. And I added one of mine, raspberries. Not only did my little chocoholic love the taste of our French toast, she also loved to make it. The inspiration to pair up bread and chocolate had its origins in a trip I took to France with my family when I was 13. I was more than intrigued when I noticed French school children digging into a most unusual after-school snack: a healthy hunk of baguette, sliced in half and stuffed with a big piece of dark chocolate. (I had a sweet tooth of my own once upon a time.) The following recipe – perfect for breakfast-in-bed for Mom on Mother’s Day – is a little healthier than the original. We start with wholewheat bread, replace some of the whole eggs with egg whites, and swap in raspberry sauce for maple syrup. Complement the finished French toast with some freshly-squeezed orange juice and a pot of freshly brewed coffee, and you’re off to the races. By the way, I began calling my own mom every Mother’s Day the minute I learned for myself just how tough a gig it is. Love ya, Mom!

This Mother’s Day, happiness is a versatile toasted cheese sandwich By ELIZABETH KARMEL The Associated Press Happiness is ... a warm cheese sandwich. It’s a sentiment as true today as when I read it as a child in my very first cookbook, the “Peanuts Cook Book.” It described the simple joy of slapping cheese on a slice of bread, topping it with tomato and oregano, then waiting patiently as it toasted to a bubble. In my family, the sandwich evolved. The bread was replaced by English muffins. The American cheese became cheddar or mozzarella. We kept the slab of tomato and sprinkle of dried oregano, which made all the difference in the world once it meshed with the bubbling juices of the tomato and the melted cheese. As it cooked, the kitchen smelled divine, and I remember looking into the glass of the toaster oven trying to will the cheese to melt faster. Once it was done, it was essential to wait a bit for it to cool down or it would burn the roof of your mouth. Though I haven’t made these sandwiches in a while, they came to mind recently as I thought about Mother’s Day. It’s perfect to eat in bed. It’s simple enough for the
kids to make. And it’s deliciously comforting. There are two secrets to maximum happiness in this sandwich. First, always open the English muffins with a fork so you preserve the nooks and crannies. Otherwise, it’s just flat bread. Second, pretoast the English muffins without any toppings so that they are a bit crunchy before you put the cheese and tomato slice on top. This takes a little longer but vastly improves the texture of the finished sandwich. Also, the cheese must go beneath the tomato, otherwise the tomato slice will make the bread soggy. I add a small sprinkle of cheese to the top, too, because I love the taste of browned cheese on the warm tomato. And if you don’t like oregano, use your favorite dried herb or a combination of herbs. And while I favor the simple version in the recipe below, it obviously is easily adapted. Consider the add-ons above.

Serve Mom a bite-sized brunch Tapas-style meal can combine all of her favorite foods on Mother’s Day By ALISON LADMAN The Associated Press
A
tapas-style meal made up of a variety of small, appetizer-like bites is something we tend to associate with evenings and cocktails. But we thought the same idea of small plates would lend itself perfectly to a Mother’s Day brunch. So we came up with a variety of tapas ideas suitable for Mom’s big day. Use these ideas as a jumping off point. Accompany them with mini muffins, mini bagels with cream cheese and smoked salmon, and fresh berries served in shot glasses and topped with yogurt and honey. And nobody says you need to give up the cocktails. Mimosas, anyone?
then roast for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, in a medium skillet over medium-high, heat the olive oil. Add the onion and chorizo and saute until browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the potato and water, then cook for another 3 to 4 minutes. When the mushrooms are roasted, spoon the sausage mixture into the caps and sprinkle with the cheese. Return to the oven for another 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Beautiful egg, veggie basket for Mom By ALISON LADMAN -
1/2 small zucchini, finely chopped 1/2 cup halved cherry or grape tomatoes Salt and ground black pepper 4 eggs 1/2 cup grated fontina cheese
Skillet Garden Eggs With Fontina
The Associated Press Mom always said to eat your vegetables, so this Mother’s Day serve her breakfast in bed inspired by a walk through the garden. We began with the idea of egg-in-ahat – sometimes called egg-in-a-basket or a Popeye – in which an egg is cracked into a hole cut in the center of a slice of bread. The whole thing is pan-fried, usually just until the white is set and the yolk remains liquid. The idea is that as you eat it, the yolk breaks and soaks the toast with a warm, creamy sauce. Instead of toast, we used the same idea with a bed of vegetables. We sautéed a vegetable hash, then nestled eggs into the center of it. To amp the flavor, we also tossed in some prosciutto and cheese. The result is not only beautiful, but also healthy and satisfying.

Skillet Garden Eggs With Fontina Start to finish: 20 minutes Servings: 2 1 tablespoon olive oil
2 slices prosciutto, chopped 1 small red onion, chopped 2 cups chopped Swiss chard (preferably rainbow)
In a large nonstick skillet over medium, heat the olive oil. Add the prosciutto and onion and saute until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Add the Swiss chard and zucchini and cook for another 5 to 6 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and beginning to brown. Add the tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Stir well, then arrange the vegetables in an even layer. Using a spoon, create 4 wells in the vegetables, each about 2 inches across. Crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook until just shy of desired doneness, about 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle the cheese over the vegetables and eggs, then cover and cook for another minute. Use a spatula to transfer half of the vegetables and 2 eggs onto each plate.

Kids can help make an easy mousse for Mom By ALISON LADMAN The Associated Press It doesn’t matter how skilled – or not – your kids are in the kitchen. This easy, fruity mousse parfait is a great Mother’s Day project they can help with. To keep it simple, we use vanilla Greek yogurt as the base for our mousse, and fold whipped cream into it for a light, airy texture. Then we layer the mixture with lightly sweetened fruit for a pretty and tasty contrast. We opted for peaches and blueberries, but any berry or diced fruit would work fine. Not feeling fruity? Try a sprinkling of chopped toasted pecans and a touch of prepared caramel sauce between the layers.
Easy Blueberry-Peach Mousse Parfaits Start to finish: 15 minutes Servings: 6 1 cup fresh or thawed sliced peaches, diced 1 cup fresh blueberries 1 tablespoon sugar 2 teaspoons lemon juice Pinch of salt 1 pint heavy cream 2 tablespoons powdered sugar 1 cup nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt In a small bowl, combine the peaches, blueberries, sugar, lemon juice and salt. Mix gently. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the cream and powdered sugar until it holds medium peaks. Fold the yogurt into the whipped cream until combined.

Spoon a small amount of the fruit mixture into 6 tall parfait glasses, then top with a spoonful of the yogurt mousse. Repeat layering the fruit and mousse until all of the mixtures are used up. Serve immediately.

Raspberry sauce completes chocolate-stuffed French toast • FRENCH TOAST Continued from page C1 Chocolate-Stuffed French Toast With Raspberry Sauce Start to finish: 45 minutes Servings: 4 1 pint (2 cups) fresh raspberries, plus extra to garnish 1/4 cup sugar, divided 2 large eggs 2 large egg whites 1 cup 1 percent milk 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract Pinch of table salt 8 slices whole-wheat bread, lightly toasted 3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a blender or food processor, combine the raspberries with 2 1/2 tablespoons of the sugar. Puree, then pour through a mesh strainer. Discard the seeds and set aside the sauce. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and egg whites. Add the milk, vanilla, salt and remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of sugar. Whisk until well combined. Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium. Dip 2 slices of the bread in the egg mixture until well soaked. Place the soaked slices in
the skillet and sprinkle each with a quarter of the chocolate. Dip another 2 slices of bread in the egg mixture, then set them on top of the chocolate, pressing gently but firmly so the pieces adhere. Cook for 3 minutes, then carefully flip and cook for another 3 minutes. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining bread and chocolate, coating the pan with additional cooking spray. When all of the stuffed French toast has been cooked in the skillet and transferred to the baking sheet, bake in the oven for 10 minutes, or until cooked through. Cut each portion in half on the diagonal, drizzle with some of the raspberry sauce and garnish with additional raspberries.

The Magic Berry I found a ripe berry hanging on a bush. Just as I was about to pick it, it started to talk and said … Finish this story. DOWNTOWN SYCAMORE
Mr. Citrus’ food truck was very popular. The truck was designed to look like a giant orange and each day he’d drive to business parks at lunch time. People would buy fresh watermelon slices, bunches of grapes, apples and more. One day, Mr. Citrus parked on a steep hill. When he opened the truck’s customer window, fruit began rolling off the counter and down the hill. Strawberry after strawberry rolled alongside oranges and apples. Luckily, Mr. Citrus was able to catch a large box of grapes before it also tumbled away. The rolling fruit picked up incredible speed. At the bottom of the hill sat Officer Stan, enjoying a slice of watermelon at the park. Suddenly, poor Stan was pelted with strawberries, lemons, apples and oranges, knocking him off the park bench. As he wiped smashed apple bits off his uniform, he called his sergeant on his radio. “You’re not going to believe this, Sgt. Pear, but I was just attacked by an escaped fruit salad!” Standards Link: Physical Education: Use a variety of basic and advanced movement forms.

Couple finds recipe for a lasting marriage Dear Abby: My husband came up to me after dinner, wrapped his arms around me and asked, “Honey, is there anything we need to discuss?” In his hand he held an envelope on which I had written your name and address. When I told him it was a request for a copy of your cookbooklet – not a request for marriage counseling – he was relieved. We have been “cooking up” a wonderful life together for 10 years. Somehow I managed to misplace your cookbooklet. I have read that there is now a set of two of them. Would you please give me the ordering instructions? Thanks, Abby! – Jean in Richland, Wash. Dear Jean: I get a lot of letters like yours and I’m glad to
DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips oblige. Once you start looking at “Cookbooklet II” you will see that a sweet tooth runs in my family. Many readers have told me the dessert recipes in my cookbooklets are great for entertaining, and actually save calories because they are divided among a greater number of people. The raw apple cake with caramel glaze serves 16! My booklets are sold as a set and can be ordered by sending your name and address, plus check or money order for $14 (U.S. funds) to: Dear Abby – Cookbooklet Set, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447.
Shipping and handling are included in the price. Remember, “an apple a day keeps the doctor away,” and this recipe requires five or six of them. (Think of the fiber!) My cookbooklet set contains more than 100 tasty recipes for soups, salads, appetizers, main courses and desserts that can be used when friends and families get together to celebrate holidays and special occasions. I have been told by some readers that they have been used as the basis for Dear Abby-themed dinner parties. (The place cards were decorated with hearts and flowers, and the centerpiece was a “bouquet” of envelopes addressed to me.) P.S. Your husband sounds
like a sweetheart. My mother once said the secret to a lasting marriage is a husband who lasts, so feed him well and he will. Dear Abby: I work in a skilled-care facility. I am also preparing for law school. Today one of my co-workers humiliated me in the presence of others by asking if I have been gaining weight. I giggled and said, “Probably.” She proceeded to say that I have gained “a lot” of weight in my “fat face” and told me to get on the scale so she could see how much. I told her it’s none of her business. She has done this to me and other co-workers before. Our supervisor likes her and doesn’t reprimand her. How should I handle this? – Get-
ting Impatient in Illinois
Dear Getting Impatient: Handle it by ignoring this unpleasant person and avoiding her whenever possible. So should any other co-worker she has offended. Any time she attempts to embarrass any of you, it should be reported to your supervisor’s supervisor – individually or en masse – because the failure to act on your concerns is allowing a hostile work environment to exist.

Spinal stenosis can be treated without surgery Dear Dr. K: I’m a man in my 70s with spinal stenosis. What are my surgical options? Dear Reader: Your spine is made up of a column of bones called vertebrae. The vertebrae are separated by tough little shock-absorbing disks that keep the bone of the vertebra on top from rubbing against the bone of the vertebra beneath it. The vertebrae and disks have a circular space in the center, called the spinal canal, through which your spinal cord (the long nerve that extends from your brain down your back) passes. For much of your life, your spinal canal is wide enough that it doesn’t touch or push on your spinal cord. However, as the bones and disks grow older, in some people they begin to break down.
ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff The disks may bulge out and push on the spinal cord, or pinch a nerve root coming out of the spinal cord. Ligaments, which connect your vertebrae to one another and allow them to move flexibly, may thicken, or small bony growths may develop and protrude into the spinal canal. Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal caused by the problems with aging disks, ligaments or bones that I just mentioned. (I’ve put an illustration depicting spinal stenosis on my website.) It causes low
back pain and discomfort in the thighs or lower legs when you stand up straight, bend backward or walk even short distances. You’re probably more comfortable sitting or leaning forward. For some people, symptoms improve substantially over time without treatment. If your stenosis is fairly recent, give yourself some time to see if your symptoms improve on their own. If you are overweight, weight loss can help. The heavier you are, the more pressure one vertebral bone puts on the bone below it. Exercises and physical therapy are the most widely used treatments. My impression, and that of most of my colleagues, is that they are effective. However, there
aren’t many large, rigorous scientific studies to confirm that opinion. Exercises that are less likely to cause the vertebral bones to pound on each other are preferred. So rather than jogging, try swimming, bicycling or using equipment such as an elliptical cross-trainer. If your symptoms don’t improve, surgery to remove the structures that are pressing on your spinal cord is often successful. People who have this surgery can usually be physically active, with few or no restrictions, for a long time. However, up to one in four patients need a second surgery within 10 years of their initial surgery. Sometimes the changes that cause spinal stenosis
cause a vertebra to slip forward. If that’s true in your case, you might consider spinal fusion surgery. This fixes the position of the vertebrae permanently, preventing future displacement. By reducing motion in the affected area of the spine, spinal fusion relieves the pain caused by abnormal movement. So even though you asked about surgery, you should know that most people with spinal stenosis never need it. Fortunately, simpler approaches work for most people.

You should always introduce dates to parents Dr. Wallace: I’m 16 and have a very sharp mind. I am also a very good judge of a guy’s character. I’ve dated several guys, and my parents forced me to bring the guy to our house so my parents could meet him before we went out. A guy at my school has asked me to attend his sister’s wedding with him and his family. We were friendly with each other, but this is the first time he asked me on a date. I told him that I would enjoy going to his sister’s wedding with him and his family. When I told my mom that I would be going to a guy’s sister’s wedding with

Parents like to know whom their daughter is going out with. It’ll make your date feel better to know that
8ASTROGRAPH By BERNICE BEDE OSOL Newspaper Enterprise Association
TODAY – An endeavor that you’re ready to write off might take on new life in the coming months. Although you might not get what you initially hoped, you’ll still turn a nice profit. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – You might feel that you can’t accomplish something without assistance. Normally, you work far better when alone, and, inclinations to the contrary, today will be no different. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – By all means, be helpful to those who genuinely need assistance, but know when someone else can handle something without your interference. CANCER (June 21-July 22) – You should be realistic about your expectations for social engagements. If you don’t, you could end up being very disappointed. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Normally, you have the tenacity to achieve your desired results. However, you might be all too willing to prematurely throw in the towel today. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Most of the time, you tend to be a very flexible person, but you can be very rigid as well, if you’re not careful. Don’t cling to untenable positions. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – If someone requests that you make good on a debt or obligation, do your best to do so, even if you technically have more time. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – There are always two sides to every issue. Try to be flexible in your outlook, so that you don’t overlook a quality solution. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – You might think that you’re only temporarily shelving an unpleasant task, but this brief respite could turn into an eternity. Better to just hold your nose and get down to it. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – If your attitude is glum rather than gregarious, you’ll only make yourself and those around you miserable. Buck up or go home. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – If you fail to attend to certain domestic responsibilities, you will amass an extraordinary level of guilt. You shouldn’t let this happen. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – It’s best not to discuss something that you’re passionate about with a pessimistic associate. By the time he or she is through commenting, you might wrongly feel like ditching the whole thing. ARIES (March 21-April 19) – It behooves you to be as prudent as possible in the management of your funds. Don’t borrow what could be difficult to repay.
you’ve taken enough of an interest in him to introduce him to your parents, and it will give your parents peace of mind. Dr. Wallace: I play softball for my high school team, and I do my best to stay physically in shape. Lately, I have read a lot about what type foods to eat and what to avoid. Of course, I know to stay away from foods such as French fries, cakes, pies, cookies and other type foods that contain a lot of sugar and white flour. I also know that I should eat fruits and vegetables. Are dairy products good for me? How about

meat? Sometimes I have a tendency to gain weight. – Angie, Miami, Fla. Angie: Scientists and nutritionists are continually making new discoveries and changing their minds about what’s healthy and what isn’t. At one time, whole milk, red meat and cheese were considered essential for good health. Now whole milk is not as popular and skim milk is, cheese is often replaced with low-fat cheese, and red meat should be held to a minimum, while breast of turkey, skinless chicken and fish are recommended. These

changes were suggested to help lower people’s daily intake of fat. It’s also important to know the calorie count of the food you eat. The body requires 18 calories per day to maintain one pound of weight; thus, if your ideal weight is 120 pounds, your calorie intake should average 2,160 calories per day!

8CROSSWORD
Give one up to get many back Bobby Moore, who was captain of the England soccer team that won the World Cup in 1966, said, “If you never concede a goal, you’re going to win more games than you lose.” That is certainly true in soccer, but not in bridge. There is an old saying that runs along these lines: If you watch a beginner play in three no-trump, he wins the first eight tricks and loses the last five. In contrast, an expert loses the first four and wins the last nine. Obviously, that is not exactly true, but it makes a valid point. How is that a good hint to this three-no-trump contract after West leads the spade queen to dummy’s singleton king? Note North’s three-notrump response. Without West’s intervention, it would be automatic. It should be even after West’s overcall. Even if West has spades headed by the A-Q-J-10, he is unlikely to lead the ace. And five clubs is a long way off. South starts with five top tricks: two spades, one heart, one diamond and one club. He needs to make use of dummy’s clubs. But declarer must lose at least one club trick whatever happens. And a good general rule in no-trump is that if you must lose a trick to establish a suit, lose it as quickly as possible, and the first round of the suit is rarely too soon. Here, South should play a low club from the board at trick two. West wins and perseveres with spades, but declarer takes that trick, plays a club to dummy’s queen, and has nine top tricks. Also, if he reads the end position correctly, he can catch West in an endplay for an overtrick.
