A more established connection DeKalb police follow iWatch app for tips By DAVID THOMAS dthomas@shawmedia.com DeKALB – In the month since iWatch DeKalb went live, the DeKalb police have received at least 15 tips from the public. While none of the tips have led to an arrest, they have allowed officers to establish more contact with the community, said officer Chad McNett, the DeKalb police’s community relations liaison. “We do anticipate making some good cases and arrests based on some of these tips,” McNett said. iWatch DeKalb is a mobile app that allows users to submit anon-
ymous tips to DeKalb police. It is available for free at the App Store for Apple and the Play Store for Google. iWatch DeKalb was developed by iThinQware Inc., an Addison, Texas-based company. The company has developed similar apps for law enforcement agencies in other communities. DeKalb police paid $2,790 in startup costs for the app, and then $95 a month for 36 months, said Deputy Chief Wes Hoadley. Tips can be submitted in three different ways. People can call the tip line, send a text message to the tip line or send a complete tip. The com-
plete tip option has forms people can fill out, such as address and suspect information. People can also select an option that keeps them anonymous. McNett said each tip is identified with a tag number. DeKalb police officers are able to message people back through the app if they need more information, McNett said, but it does not provide the person’s number. DeKalb police follow up on all of the tips they receive, McNett said, adding that he believes many people use the app responsibly.

Badgered: Obama acts, but GOP unsatisfied By JULIE PACE The Associated Press
resource management for NIU Career Services. With the exception of certain fields that require special certifications, such as nursing and engineering, employers typically are looking for students with “soft skills,” such as creative or critical thinking, initiative and ability to work with others, he said. Citing a 2012-13 College Employment Research Institute report, Lagana said that of the top 24 majors most requested by employers, “all majors” was No. 1. Accounting, marketing, finance and computer science were next on the list.
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama, seeking to regain his footing amid controversies hammering the White House, named a temporary chief for the scandal-marred Internal Revenue Service on Thursday and pressed Congress to approve new security money to prevent another Benghazi-style terrorist attack. The efforts did little to satisfy Republicans, who see the controversies as an opportunity to derail Obama’s second-term agenda. House Speaker John Boehner suggested the White Barack Obama House had violated the public’s trust, and he promised to “stop at nothing” to hold the administration accountable. “Nothing dissolves the bonds between the people and their government like the arrogance of power here in Washington,” Boehner said. “And that’s what the American people are seeing today from the Obama administration – remarkable arrogance.” The targeting of conservative political groups by the IRS and new questions about the deadly attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, last year – along with the Justice Department’s seizure of journalists’ phone records – have consumed the White House for nearly a week. Of the three controversies, the president’s advisers see the IRS matter as the most likely to linger. At least three congressional committees are planning investigations into the agency that touches the lives of nearly every American. Obama, who was criticized by both opponents and allies for his measured initial response to the IRS targeting, vowed to ensure the agency acts “scrupulously and without even a hint of bias.” “I think we’re going to be able to fix it,” he declared during a joint news conference with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

What you study in college influences future earnings By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com DeKALB – As college students seek jobs after graduation, they find themselves learning the true value of their degrees and their education. Coresair Mack is one such student. Mack, who graduated from Northern Illinois University in December with a degree in psychology, said he sought a job in his field, but hasn’t succeeded because he needs at least a master’s degree. Although he had ambitions to become a cognitive and developmental psychologist, he now hopes to become a school psychologist after doing substitute teaching. Mack said going to college was worth it, but the chances of landing a job after college seem to depend on a student’s major. He said friends who studied business administration, accounting and computers seemed to find jobs easier than people who ma-

OAK CREST DeKalb Area Retirement Center www.oakcrestdekalb.org
“We found a home we value…” We just spent an afternoon on the balcony of our two bedroom apartment home overlooking a beautiful pond and garden. To say we have it all might be a bit of an understatement. You see, when we were ready Jim & Bev Gillett to make the retirement decision, we knew we wanted to find a community that felt like home and would offer great living accommodations but would also provide a full continuum of care and services. The reality of life is that at some point one or both of us may need some kind of care and support, and we wanted to be sure when that time came we could be together. We also were conscious of the costs associated with retirement living. After visiting other places near our home in Maple Park, we found the costs associated with the care and services didn’t translate into value. So, when we stopped in at Oak Crest we just knew we had come home. Not only were we impressed with the surroundings, the apartments, and services; we found an apartment we love at a price we love even more. Come see for yourself. It really comes down to this: life at Oak Crest translates into value. Jim & Bev Gillett, Residents since 2012

Enjoying ‘Tuesdays on the town’ I’ll be brutally honest. As a journalist and journalism educator, I’m supposed to be up to speed about local happenings (not to mention area, state, national and international happenings … it’s a big job). But between figuring final grades for the 2013 spring semester at Northern Illinois University and the weeklong conference I’m currently in at NIU, I’ve been in something of a news blackout the past few days. So I had no clue about “Tuesdays on the Town,” which began for the season … um, Tuesday … in downtown Sycamore. The idea, promoted by Discover Sycamore (part of the Sycamore Chamber of Commerce) is simple. Early evenings on the second Tuesday of each month, May through September, something family friendly will be happening in downtown Sycamore. The intent is to get people out mingling and taking advantage of local shops and restaurants that are staying open late. Appropriately, the city itself had the honor of being first host of this year’s season. This week’s event: “Touch A Truck.” Touchable vehicles included a snowplow, firetruck (attendees could hose down a parking lot at no charge), ambulance, street sweeper, police SUVs and a couple of earth movers.
THE FINE LINE Jason Akst Kids were able to sit in drivers’ seats, honk horns and test sirens. Hours later, I can still hear them in my head. Veteran truck touchers reliably assure me that it’s quite rare to see a street sweeper, and indeed, I can’t remember ever seeing one at the handful of truck touchings I’ve been to. The Sycamore High School Band played. I particularly liked “Louie Louie” and “Oye Como Va.” The event was spectacularly understated, with very little promotion, very little splash and no media buzz I was aware of. To be blunt, it was small town. And that’s the genius. Because according to “Measuring the Impact of Special Events,” by Rachael D. Carter and Jeannie W. Zieren, “Many local communities rely heavily on festivals and special events to generate spending and increase the influx of new money into the local economy. It can be difficult for a Main Street program, a tourism bureau, or a chamber of commerce to justify the spending that is necessary to host these events. Policy makers and sponsors may have tough decisions to make in determin-
ing which events to support.” So, the trick is to promote and grow low-budget and low-maintenance – but high interest – gatherings. I have no hard data (and would challenge the Sycamore Chamber to be forthcoming with it), but I would estimate the event drew at least several hundred people, and many were patronizing local businesses. So, I would call Tuesday’s Touch A Truck a hit. Best of all, friendly, professional, approachable city staff made sure everybody had fun. It’s good to see police when there’s no trouble, firefighters when nothing’s burning, paramedics when nobody’s hurt. I asked a snowplow driver something I’d been curious about: Do irate homeowners ever lash out at drivers when their driveways get plowed in? Not that I would ever consider such outrageous behavior. This was research. “Oh yeah,” he said. “We’ve had people throw shovels at us, people standing in the middle of the street, like we would stop … . “Of course, we would stop,” he was quick to add.

Lauren Russ in Chicago reads letters that she wrote home as a child from sleepaway camp begging her parents to come and get her. While many children enjoy attending overnight camp, Russ is one of a number of adults who look back on the experience with less-thanfond memories of feeling homesick and lonely. on bad food. “I will admit that I was a picky eater, but the problem was more on quality,” said Tomascheski. “I could only handle so many bland spaghetti feeds, too-salty chicken strips, and soggy fries. Usually halfway through the week I gave up and only ate PB&J at all three meals.” Some unhappy campers hated bunk life. “It was dirty,” recalled Gerry Cotten, 25, a website developer in Toronto. “I was always into computers, and some sort of computer camp probably would have been fun, but sleeping in an ancient old wooden cabin, with disgusting washrooms a five-minute walk away,
wasn’t really appealing.” The great outdoors didn’t hold much charm either: “Taking a dip in the lake each morning instead of having a shower wasn’t really for me. They called it the Polar Dip.” According to the American Camp Association, nearly 9 million kids younger than the age of 18 attend one of the country’s 7,000 overnight camps each summer, with stays ranging from a week to two months. Research on the association’s website suggests that going to camp can build confidence, self-esteem, social skills, independence and a sense of adventure.

The Associated Press NEW YORK – When the school year ends a few weeks from now, millions of kids will head off to sleepaway camp for a summer filled with color wars, kayaking and bunk life. Most will have a great time, some will make friends for life, and many will look back on the experience fondly. But amid these happy campers is another group of veterans who recall sleepaway camp quite differently. These were the kids who cried every day and sent letters home begging to be picked up. They were lonesome, miserable, bullied; hated the bugs, hated the pool. Many refused to ever go back, and decades later, they can recall their suffering in visceral detail – from poison ivy to wretched food. “Oh did I hate overnight camp,” recalled Lauren Russ, 43, who lives in Chicago. “I cried every day and wrote two letters home a day asking my parents to come get me.” Russ’ mom and dad saved those notes and even read some of them aloud at her wedding shower 10 years ago. “I got another letter from you,” reads one of the heart-wrenching lines in Russ’ schoolgirl’s script. “Every time I get a letter I cry and become very homesick.” What was so bad about camp? Let Russ count the ways: “I’ll never forget the first night I had to sleep in a tent.

would determine who is fit to carry. The Senate Executive Committee voted 10-4 to advance the legislation sponsored by Sen. Kwame Raoul, a Chicago Democrat. Senate President John Cullerton said the bill might get a Senate floor vote today. Raoul is selling the measure as a permissive way for gun owners to take their
weapons out in public if they have proper training and pass a background check. The legislation has been demanded by a December federal court decree that declared Illinois’ concealed carry ban unconstitutional. Gun owners, led by the National Rifle Association, deride Raoul’s proposal as restrictive, potentially confusing and ripe for lawsuits. They say requiring a lo-
cal police “endorsement” to carry in Chicago is an impermissible double standard and objected to larger cities being able to designate additional local spots as off-limits to guns. Republicans also decried provisions in the legislation that require applicants for conceal-and-carry permits to have a “proper reason” and be “of good moral character.”

8STATE BRIEF Lottery ticket found in cookie jar a winner GENEVA – A suburban Chicago man who says he had a mountain of bills and was facing eviction is now a multimillionaire thanks to a lottery ticket he bought months ago and only recently found in a cookie jar in his kitchen. On Wednesday, the Illinois Lottery handed Ricardo Cerezo of Geneva a large commemorative check for $4.85 million – the result of matching all six numbers in the Feb. 2 Lotto drawing. Cerezo said his wife found 11 tickets while cleaning the kitchen and told him to see if any were worth anything. Cerezo had bought the Quick Pick ticket at an area convenience store and took them to a nearby gas station to scan them. It was then he discovered he’d won.

Griswold named Volunteer of the Year By STEPHANIE HICKMAN shickman@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Ruby Griswold is one of Barb City Manor’s biggest boosters. Griswold, an 83-year-old resident of Barb City Manor Retirement Home, has been known to stop visitors on tours of the facility to tell them how wonderful it is. “I tell them the truth,” Griswold said. “It’s a nice place to live. I tell them all of the advantages of living here.” Tour guide is just one of the many hats Griswold wears at Barb City Manor, which is why she was honored April 23 with the retirement community’s Volunteer of the Year award. The award recog-
nizes a member of Barb City Manor’s auxiliary volunteer program, FRIENDS, who has provided at least three years of exceptional service to the retirement community and its residents. “I was so honored to be Volunteer of the Year because it’s something I really enjoy doing,” Griswold said. Griswold was selected based on her positive attitude, outgoing nature and the many hours of service she puts into a wide variety of duties, said Barb City Manor Assistant Administrator Maureen Gerrity. Griswold spends most of her time volunteering as a cashier in the gift shop, managing the community’s re-
sale shop and lending a hand whenever and wherever she is needed, Gerrity said. “Not only is she a great help, she promotes Barb City Manor and encourages people to come here and try it,” she said. “She’s definitely an asset here.” Born and raised in Genoa, Griswold moved to Barb City Manor after her husband, Morris, died in 2008. The two had been residents of Hinckley, and have a son in DeKalb. After Morris died, Griswold said she was in poor health. But since moving to the Barb City Manor, her health and wellness have improved. She joined the FRIENDS organization in 2010, which
she said was a perfect fit for her. “I enjoy working with people,” she said. “This was an ideal setup, that I could work with friends and have all this interaction.” Those who often interact with Griswold, including Gerrity, said they enjoy her presence and warm conversations. Many have deemed some of her witty one-liners as “Rubyisms.” “She’s just got a quip for every occasion,” Gerrity said. “She’s got a wonderful sense of humor.” When she’s not volunteering, Griswold is an avid reader who finishes about six to eight books a month. She also frequently sews, using her skills

New DeKalb police station on course for November completion By DAVID THOMAS dthomas@shawmedia.com DeKALB – The new DeKalb police station is 60 percent finished, and should be complete by November, the city official overseeing the project says. Public Works Director T. J. Moore said he believes the new police station at 700 W. Lincoln Highway will be finished in November. “It feels like a building now. It doesn’t feel like a construction project any more,” Moore said. “You really see how it’s coming together.”
In 2012, the DeKalb City Council approved borrowing $12.7 million to pay for the construction of the new police station, effectively capping the total cost of the project. Moore said the brick facade on the front of the building is being assembled. Inside the two-story building, the elevator has been installed and 70 percent of the drywall work is done. Moore described the building as being a showpiece for the city. “To be fair, this is kind of the future of DeKalb,” Moore
said. “We’re showing off not only who we are but who we’re going to be.” Both Moore and DeKalb police Cmdr. Jason Leverton described the building as having a major effect on modernizing the police force. “One of the most significant features is a much-improved booking and intake for prisoners, and how we house prisoners,” Leverton said. Leverton said the new department will have a separate booking area with its own entrances and exits. The cells in the new building will have
concrete benches and secured handcuff holders. The current police station occupies the first floor of the municipal building at 200 S. Fourth St. City officials have discussed renovating the municipal building once the police department moves into its new station. The renovations will allow the public works and information technology departments to move back in. Those departments are currently located across the street at 223 S. Fourth St. To that end, the City Coun-

city officials have considered the city’s tax increment financing accounts. While TIF funds are usually used to redevelop private property in blighted areas, it can also be used for existing public facilities. The city staff has put in placeholders totaling $4.6 million in TIF funds over the next several years for the remodeling. Moore stressed that these are placeholders, and have not been approved by the City Council. “It’s up to the purview of the City Council on what gets done,” Moore said.

cil also approved a $57,925 proposal in 2012 to examine the building before any remodeling is done. Moore noted the entire first floor of City Hall is dedicated to the police station. “That space is not conducive to police work ... but it’s certainly not conducive to offices,” Moore said. “No one in the building department needs jail cells.” The building study, which is due this summer, will present to the council with different concepts for remodeling City Hall, Moore said.

Sycamore man jailed for going to court drunk By JILLIAN DUCHNOWSKI jduchnowski@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – A 45-year-old Sycamore man is serving five days in DeKalb County Jail after coming to court Thursday morning with a blood-alcohol content of 0.282 percent. When court officials asked
Lamonte Johnson, whose address is listed in court records in the 13600 block of Lawson Road, if he was intoxicated, Johnson told Judge John McAdams that he had been drinking Wednesday night and Thursday morning. They had him take a Breathalyzer test. “This is egregious,” McAdams
said. “You are over three times the legal [driving] limit. That defines direct criminal contempt.” Johnson’s attorney discouraged him from talking out of turn, but McAdams asked him if he would like to say anything. “I’m going to Rosecrans tomorrow,” Johnson said, referring to a network of drug and al-
cohol treatment facilities. “Anything else?” McAdams asked. “I am an alcoholic,” Johnson said. McAdams continued the status hearing that had brought Johnson into the courtroom until Monday, when he will have finished his five-day jail sentence.
Prosecutors are trying to revoke Johnson’s probation because he failed to report to his probation officer seven times between November and January, court records show. He’s serving two years of probation after pleading guilty in December 2011 to felony violation of an order of protection.

Music therapist Elizabeth Klinger (right) quietly plays guitar and sings for Augustin as he grips the hand of his mother, Lucy Morales, in the newborn intensive care unit Monday at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital in Chicago. “The music relaxes him, it makes him feel more calm” and helps him sleep better, too, Lucy Morales said. “Sometimes it makes us cry.”
Preemies get boost from music therapy go home. But amid beeping monitors, IV poles and plastic breathing tubes in infants’ rooms at Chicago’s Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital, music therapist Elizabeth Klinger provides a soothing contrast that even the tiniest babies seem to notice “What music therapy can uniquely provide is that passive listening experience that just encourages relaxation for the patient, encourages participation by the family,” Klinger said after a recent session in Augustin’s hospital room. The baby’s parents, Lucy Morales and Alejandro Moran, stood at the crib and whispered lovingly to their son as Klinger played traditional lullabies, singing in Spanish and English. “The music relaxes him, it makes him feel more calm” and helps him sleep better, too, Lucy Morales said. “Sometimes it makes us cry.” Some families request rock music or other high-tempo songs, but Klinger always slows the beat to make it easier on tender ears. “A lot of times families become afraid of interacting with their children because
they are so sick and so frail, and music provides them something that they can still do,” Klinger said, who works full time as a music therapist but her services are provided for free. Music therapists say live performances in hospitals are better than recorded music because patients can feel the music vibrations and also benefit from seeing the musicians. More than two dozen U.S. hospitals offer music therapy in their newborn intensive care units and its popularity is growing, said Joanne Loewy, a music therapist who directs a music and medicine program at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York. Preemies’ music therapy was even featured on a recent episode of the hit TV show “American Idol,” when show finalist Kree Harrison watched a therapist working with a tiny baby at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. “Music is such a huge part of our lives and to do something like this, make it a sort of healing process, is a cool thing,” Harrison said on the April 25 episode. Dr. Natalia Henner, a newborn specialist at Lurie hospital, said studies in nursing
journals show music therapy for preemies “does help with promoting growth. And there’s some good literature ... saying that the time to discharge is a little bit shorter in babies who’ve been exposed to more music therapy.” She said it “definitely facilitates bonding” between parents of preemies and other babies too sick to go home. Loewy led a study published last month in the journal Pediatrics, involving 11 U.S. hospitals. Therapists in the study played special small drums to mimic womb sounds and timed the rhythm to match the infants’ heartbeats. The music appeared to slow the infants’ heartbeats, calm their breathing, and improve sucking and sleeping, Loewy said. Soozie Cotter-Schaufele, a music therapist at Advocate Children’s Hospital-Park Ridge near Chicago, says soothing rhythmic sounds of music can mimic womb sounds and provide a comforting environment for preemies. She sings and plays a small harp or guitar, and says the sounds help calm tiny babies while they’re undergoing painful medical procedures.

Report: Senior Spelling Bee now canceled

The next Citizens Advisory Committee meeting is at 7:15 a.m. June 6.
By LINDSEY TANNER The Associated Press CHICAGO – As the guitarist strums and softly sings a lullaby in Spanish, tiny Augustin Morales stops squirming in his hospital crib and closes his eyes. This is therapy in a newborn intensive care unit, and research suggests that music may help those born way too soon adapt to life outside the womb. Some tiny preemies are too small and fragile to be held and comforted by human touch, and many are often fussy and show other signs of stress. Other common complications include immature lungs, eye disease, problems with sucking, and sleeping and alertness difficulties. Recent studies and anecdotal reports suggest the vibrations and soothing rhythms of music, especially performed live in the hospital, might benefit preemies and other sick babies. Many insurers won’t pay for music therapy because of doubts that it results in any lasting medical improvement. Some doctors say the music works best at relieving babies’ stress and helping parents bond with infants too sick to

SYCAMORE – A registered sex offender taking a break from a motorcycle trip at a Waterman park Wednesday found himself taking a detour to DeKalb County jail. Waterman police said they found Christoper M. Sowers, 27, of the 2300 block of Horeb Avenue, Zion, in the 400 block of South Birch Street with a knife and a hatchet. The street is bordered by Indian Creek Middle School and Waterman Lions Park. Children were present on school grounds, according to court records. Sowers was charged with two counts of unlawful use of a weapon, unlawful presence within a public park and unlawful presence within a school zone. His bail was set at $10,000, which requires posting $1,000 to be released while the case is pending.
According to court records, a Waterman police officer noticed Sowers as he parked Christoper M. h i s m o t o r cycle at the Sowers street, ran his license plate and discovered Sowers was a registered sex offender. The officer searched Sowers and found a knife that was 5 3/4 inches long and a hatchet in his possession, court records show. Sowers told the officer he was taking a break from a road trip and the weapons were for his protection, court records show. He was arrested about 8:38 a.m. Wednesday, court records show. Sowers had previously been convicted of aggravated criminal sexual assault of a person under 9 and is classified as a sexual predator.
Medicaid expansion debate ahead in House The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – The Illinois House is gearing up to consider a key part of President Barack Obama’s health care law, an expansion of Medicaid that would provide coverage to low-income adults who don’t have children at home. House Democrats warn that failure to expand Medicaid would lead to unintended consequences: A Cook County program that expanded Medicaid early would be in jeopardy. And Illinois employers would be exposed to tax penalties of up to $106 million because of a quirk in the federal health law. Republicans say they have concerns about future costs, specifically whether the federal government eventually will shift more of the burden than expected to states. Up to 500,000 uninsured Illinois residents would be newly eligible for coverage, with the federal government paying for their care the first three years. Illinois officials expect 342,000 people to enroll by 2017. The expansion would cover low-income people making up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level, or about $15,860 for an individual.
The state Senate has approved the expansion and Gov. Pat Quinn supports it. A House committee is scheduled to hear the bill Tuesday. A quick summary of some of the issues:
COOK COUNTY If Illinois fails to expand Medicaid, Cook County’s demonstration project will be at risk. More than 52,000 county residents have applied for the CountyCare program, a Medicaid expansion funded by federal grants in October, which is set to expire at the end of the year. About 10,000 applications have been approved and the state has hired 30 additional employees, doubling the staff reviewing the backlog of applications.
BUSINESS PENALTIES The federal law includes financial penalties for employers with 50 or more workers if those people get subsidized private insurance through the new state marketplaces, up to $3,000 per employee.
UNKNOWN COSTS The Medicaid expansion is expected to lower the state’s cost of uncompensated care by $953 million, according to a study by the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation.

Justice Dept. faulted over terrorist IDs The ASSOCIATED PRESS
AP photo
WASHINGTON – The government allowed “a small but significant number” of terrorists into America’s witness protection program and then failed to provide the names of some of them for a watch list that’s used to keep dangerous people off airline flights, the Justice Department’s inspector general says. As a result of the department’s failure to share information with the Terrorist Screening Center, some in the witness protection program who were on a government “no-fly” list were allowed to travel on commercial flights, the department’s
watchdog said. The FBI-managed screening center is the clearinghouse for information about known or suspected terrorists. In a briefing for reporters Thursday, the Justice Department said it had remedied the problem with a restrictive travel policy that prohibits program participants with no-fly status from traveling on commercial flights. The department declined to say how many people in the program actually flew. While people involved in terrorism cases have long been eligible for federal witness protection, the Justice Department wouldn’t say how many have been in the pro-
gram. The inspector general’s report said it was “a small but significant number.” The Witness Security Program, or WitSec as it is known, protects witnesses from the people and organizations against whom they have testified. The U.S. Marshals Service provides cooperating witnesses with new identities. Over the past two decades, the program has been significant in the government’s efforts to prosecute terrorists responsible for the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, the 1995 bombing in Oklahoma City and the 2009 New York City subway suicide-bomb plot.
Employees of The Healing Leaf collective in Lake Stevens show some of their product during “Studio 4/20,” a legal marijuana celebration April 20 put on by DOPE Magazine at 7 Point Studios in Seattle.

Washington releases draft rules for legal pot By GENE JOHNSON The Associated Press SEATTLE – Officials in Washington state took their first stab at setting rules for the state’s new marijuana industry Thursday, nearly eight months after voters here legalized pot for adults. Among the preliminary regulations: They want to track marijuana from “seed to store,” and while they’re putting a cap on the number of retail stores in each county, they’re not planning to limit the number of licensed pot growers or processors. No sales of marijuana extracts, such as hash, would be allowed – unless the extract is infused into another product – and all pot-related businesses would have to have security systems, 24-hour video surveillance and insurance. Any marijuana product sold at a state-licensed stores would carry a label noting that it “may be habit forming,” accompanied by a logo of Washington state – with a marijuana-leaf silhouette
8STATE BRIEFS Illinois jobless rate dips to 9.3 percent in April CHICAGO – Illinois’ unemployment rate improved slightly in April, dipping to 9.3 percent compared to 9.5 percent in March. Preliminary data released Thursday by the Illinois Department of Employment Security shows that there were 2,000 fewer jobs in April, despite the improved unemployment rate. IDES spokesman Greg Rivara said that could indicate that fewer people were looking for work in April, possibly because of bad weather. There were 40,300 more jobs in Illinois than there were last April and 216,000 more private-sector jobs than in January 2010. Even so, Illinois’ unemployment rate remains well above the national average of 7.5 percent.
Feds: Selling Crundwell assets wasn’t ‘smooth’ DIXON – Federal marshals said selling off Rita Crundwell’s assets wasn’t exactly “smooth sailing.” Jason Wojdylo is with the U.S. Marshals Service, which finished selling the former Dixon comptroller’s belongings this month to raise restitution. Crundwell is serving a federal prison sentence after pleading guilty to stealing more than $53 million from the small city over two decades. WNIJ radio reports that Marshals Service estimates show Dixon will only recover about $10 million.
smack in the middle. Staff at the state Liquor Control Board spent long hours visiting marijuana grow houses, studying the science of getting high and earning nicknames like “the queen of weed” before issuing the rules. “They are based upon hundreds of hours of internal research and deliberation, consultation with multiple industry experts and input from the over 3,000 individuals who attended our forums statewide,” said Sharon Foster, chairwoman of the state Liquor Control Board. Foster – who began a speech at a recent conference by saying, “My friends now call me the queen of weed” – said the board is trying to create a tightly regulated system that ensures both large and small operations a place in the emerging market. Last fall voters made Washington and Colorado the first states to legalize the sale of taxed marijuana to adults over 21 at state-licensed stores. Marijuana sales in Wash-
ington should begin in early 2014 – unless the Justice Department has something to say about it. Pot remains illegal federally, and the DOJ could sue to try to block the licensing schemes in Washington and Colorado from taking effect. Under the 46 pages of rules circulated Thursday, Washington state would use a criminal history point system in determining whether someone is eligible for obtaining a license to grow, sell or process pot. A felony in the past decade or two misdemeanors in the past three years would disqualify an applicant – but applicants could get a free pass on up to two pot-possession misdemeanors, and any single state or federal conviction for selling, growing or possessing marijuana could be waived on a case-by-case basis. The board also said it will conduct criminal and financial background checks on “financiers” of pot businesses – anyone who invests more than $10,000.

House advances student loan fix By PHILIP ELLIOTT The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The days of fixed-rate student loans could be coming to a close, with House Republicans on Thursday advancing a proposal that would link rates to financial markets. The GOP-led House Education and the Workforce Committee sent to the full House a bill that would offer some students a better deal at first. Democratic critics warned that graduates would face steadily climbing rates and costs over the long haul if the markets change. “Our families deserve better than this bait and switch,” said Rep. George Miller of California, the senior Democrat on the committee, who led the opposition. The Republican chairman of the panel, Rep. John Kline, said critics were giving too much credence to Congressional Budget Office figures that
anticipate future interest rates and don’t accurately measure real costs for the program that helps 36 million students. “We don’t know what these interest rates are going to be. No one actually knows what they will be,” Kline said. “Pick your score and make your best guess.” Without Congress’ action, interest rates for new subsidized Stafford student loans would double from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent July 1. Neither party wants that to happen, although there remain strong differences in the methods to dodge that. Democrats attempted to hold the rates at 3.4 percent while Congress considers a long-term fix. Their proposal received no votes from Republicans who hold the majority on the panel. “Student loan rates should not be subject to the whims of Congress,” said Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C. “Students’ families and taxpayers deserve a
long-term solution. ... This legislation offers predictability and simplicity.” Democrats were not swayed. “I’ll tell you what’s predictable: They’ll be paying more,” said Rep. John Tierney, D-Mass. Under the GOP proposal, student loans would be reset every year and based on 10-year Treasury notes, plus an added percentage. For instance, students who receive subsidized or unsubsidized Stafford student loans would pay the Treasury rate, plus 2.5 percentage points. Using Congressional Budget Office projections, that would translate to a 5 percent interest rate on Stafford loans in 2014, but the rate would climb to 7.7 percent for loans in 2023. Stafford loan rates would be capped at 8.5 percent, while loans for parents and graduate students would have a 10.5 percent ceiling under the GOP proposal.

AP sources: Crime not ruled out in Texas blast
DeKalb Community
The ASSOCIATED PRESS WEST, Texas – Investigators have not ruled out criminal activity as the cause of a massive explosion at a fertilizer plant that killed at least 14 people and flattened part of a tiny Texas town, two officials familiar with the findings said Thursday. The April 17 blast at West Fertilizer injured 200 and leveled part of the town of West. Officials have spent one month combing through debris and speaking to hundreds of witnesses. But they have not yet been able to pinpoint the cause, the officials said. One state official who’s seen a report on the probe and a second law enforcement official briefed on the findings told The Associated Press investigators are focused on a golf cart on the premises

Four weeks later, investigators have yet to announce what prompted the fire and touched off the massive explosion that killed 14 people. that had been recalled by its manufacturer, an electrical problem or possible criminal activity. The state official said investigators were “light on definitive information” into the cause of the blast. The official declined to give more details until after authorities held a
news conference to announce their findings. The law enforcement official said the golf cart in question was sometimes parked at the place where the fire began, but investigators said they could not confirm the cart was parked there on the night of the blast.

Afghanistan: Bomb kills 15, including 6 Americans The group, Hizb-e-Islami, said its fighters had stalked the Americans for a week to learn their routine before striking – a claim which raises questions about U.S. security procedures. Two children were among nine Afghan civilians killed in the attack. “I can’t find my children. They’re gone. They’re gone,” their father screamed before collapsing to the ground as neighbors swarmed around to comfort him. Two American soldiers were killed, as were four American civilian contractors with DynCorp International. DynCorp, a U.S. defense contractor based in Falls Church, Va., said its employees were
The ASSOCIATED PRESS KABUL, Afghanistan – A suicide car bombing tore through a U.S. convoy Thursday in Kabul o, killing at least 15 people including six Americans in a blast so powerful it rattled the other side of the Afghan capital. U.S. soldiers rushed to help, some wearing only T-shirts or shorts under their body armor. A Muslim militant group claimed responsibility for the morning rush hour attack, saying it was carried out by a new suicide unit formed in response to reports that the U.S. plans to keep bases and troops in Afghanistan even after the 2014 deadline for the end of the foreign combat mission.
working with U.S. forces training the Afghan military when the blast occurred. It was the deadliest attack to rock Kabul in more than two months and followed a series of other assaults on Americans, even as U.S.-led forces are focusing more on training while leaving the fighting militants to their Afghan counterparts. Thursday’s bombing pushed the monthly toll for the U.S.-led coalition to 18, making May the deadliest month so far this year. By comparison, 44 international troops were killed in the same period last year. The overall number of coalition deaths has dropped as Afghan forces increasingly take the
lead. The suicide bomber detonated his explosives-laden car at about 8 a.m. and set nearby buildings on fire. The blast left body parts scattered on the street along with the mangled wreckage of one of the U.S. vehicles. Kabul Deputy Police Chief Daud Amin said it was difficult to count the dead. “We saw two dead bodies of children on the ground,” Amin said. “But the rest of the bodies were scattered around.” Thirty-five Afghans were wounded, according to the Health Ministry. Kabul had been enjoying a relative lull in attacks in recent weeks.

8BRIEFS Subpoena of AP records revives media shield bill
2001, terrorist attacks in light of how President Barack Obama has used the power to target suspected terrorists with lethal drone strikes. Senior Pentagon officials insisted Thursday that the law should remain unchanged as the nation remains locked in armed conflict with al-Qaida and its affiliates, a fight that will rage for another decade or two. But Republicans and Democrats fear that they have given the president a blank check for using military force worldwide.
WASHINGTON – The controversy over the government’s secret subpoena of The Associated Press telephone records has revived legislation that would protect journalists from having to reveal their sources to federal investigators – and the White House is endorsing the idea. The proposal wouldn’t provide blanket protection for a journalist from having to reveal who he or she spoke to confidentially. But the government would have to convince a federal judge that the confidential source had compromised national security in speaking to the journalist. President Barack Obama told reporters Thursday that now is a good time to revisit the socalled shield bill. Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York said he’ll reintroduce the media shield bill he had pursued unsuccessfully four years ago.
Obama focuses effort to end military sex abuse
U.S., Turkey project united front on Syria WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama and Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan projected a united front Thursday on Syria, keeping stark differences about how much the U.S. should intervene behind closed doors as they looked to Russia and the global community to close ranks behind efforts to oust Syrian President Bashar Assad. Under a pair of umbrellas outside a drizzly White House, the two leaders offered no hints about new actions either country would take, but pledged to keep upping the pressure on Assad to leave. After a lengthy meeting focused on Syria, Erdogan sidestepped a question about what he wants Obama to do, even though the Turkish premier has publicly urged the U.S. to take further steps to hasten Assad’s departure. And Obama emphasized that if and when the U.S. takes further action, it won’t be alone.

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama pledged Thursday to “leave no stone unturned” in the effort to put an end to sexual assault in the military, which he said undermined the armed services. He said the nation’s military leaders are “ashamed” about their failure to stop it. Obama also said he has asked Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Martin Dempsey to lead a process to root out the problem. The meeting follows a recent string of misconduct cases and a Pentagon report showing that as many as 26,000 military members may have been sexually assaulted last year.

California fuels Powerball $550 million jackpot SAN DIEGO – The numbers sum up the frenzy that has taken over the Golden State since it became the newest in the nation to join the madness over Powerball, which saw its jackpot soar Thursday to $550 million. California has sold $83 million worth of Powerball tickets since it started selling them in April and overall has accounted for 11 percent of the game’s sales in the country, fueling such fast-growing mega-jackpots like the latest one which has the potential to be a record-breaker. The state expects to generate well above the originally estimated $50 million for public education, California lottery director Robert O’Neill told The Associated Press.

Engineers average high est. salaries Police: No tips have Average starting salaries – April 2013
• MAJORS Continued from page A1 “Employers are still seeking candidates with the right skills and experience,” Lagana said. Lagana said NIU Career Services took a recent survey of what employers look for when making hiring decisions. He said only 23 percent of employers surveyed said they wanted graduates with a specific college major, while half said they wanted students with skills such as critical thinking and communication ability. While college majors may not make much of a difference when it comes to getting hired, it does make a difference with average starting salaries. According to a 2013 National Association of Colleges and Employers Salary Survey, the highest average starting salary was $62,525 for engineering graduates, while the lowest was $37,058 for humanities and social science graduates. Caitlin Safiran, who graduated this month from NIU
Business: $54,234 Communications: $43,145 Computer science: $59,977 Education: $40,480 Engineering: $62,525 Health sciences: $49,713 Humanities and social science: $37,058 Math and sciences: $42,724
Source: National Association of Colleges and Employers Salary Survey with a degree in communications, said she’s glad to have the degree she does, but did think that some people have an easier time finding a job because of what they studied in college. She is hopeful she will eventually land a job. In the meantime, she’s been seeking another internship because she feels she needs more experience, but said she hasn’t found much out there. “A lot of things I’m finding I’m not qualified for or not what I’m interested in,” Safiran said. Lagana said it is important that students seek internships and not rely on their college degree. Internships are one of the primary ways
employers find new talent as they take time and money to train a person and don’t want to lose them, he said. “Without an internship, you become a college graduate with a degree, and those are a dime a dozen,” Lagana said. The national unemployment rate for college graduates has improved. For April 2013, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported the unemployment rate for people with a bachelor’s degree or higher was 3.9 percent. In the past five years, that unemployment rate was at its highest in 2009 with 4.8 percent. Mack said it’s too soon to tell how healthy the job market is for recent college grad-
uates, but he said it will take a turn for the worse. He said he sees a definite decrease in the job market with the rise of technology. People who don’t get jobs in their fields may have to fall back on jobs at fast-food restaurants and retail shops. “In this economy, you have to do with what you can do to make it,” Mack said. Lagana said he thinks hiring has improved for college graduates in the past several years, at least for NIU grads. He said NIU saw as many employers at the university career and job fairs as it did in 2007, which was before the economic recession. For the 2012-13 academic year, there were 1,400 employers at the fairs, compared with bout 1,200 employers the previous year, he said. Lagana said there has been a 7 percent increase in campus job interviews and 3 percent increase in job postings at the university compared to last year. “The dashboard indicators are showing we got gas in the tank, the oil levels are good and we don’t have the engine light on,” Lagana said.
been hoaxes so far • APP Continued from page A1 “The only way to determine in a case like that is to check it,” McNett said. “None of the tips we’ve gotten so far have been hoaxes.” McNett said police have received several suspicious person reports, as well as a tip about people speeding on Taylor Street that led to tickets. McNett said they also received a tip about a woman who appeared to have collapsed near Jewel-Osco, 1320 Sycamore Road. The woman accidentally mixed her medications with an energy drink, and she was taken to the hospital, McNett said. Outside DeKalb, Sycamore police and the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office have considered buying apps for their departments. The app for the sheriff’s office, for instance, could provide infor-
mation about county roads or the local jail, Sheriff Roger Scott said. “We have not developed nearly as far as what DeKalb has done,” Scott said. Sycamore police Lt. Darrell Johnson said the department has a Facebook page and people can email tips to the department through its webpage at sycamorepd. com. If the person requests anonymity, they try to honor that, Johnson said. “Sometimes we need more information to be effective, and we need to contact people,” Johnson said. “Sometimes [the tips] are too vague. It’d be nice to contact the reporting party for more information.” Regardless of the format – email, Facebook or mobile apps – any information given to officers needs to be verified. “Everything has to be taken in and verified in one manner or another,” Scott said.
Obama comments on AP phone records • OBAMA Continued from page A1 Soon afterward, Obama appointed senior budget official Danny Werfel to temporarily run the IRS, one day after Acting Commissioner Steven Miller’s forced resignation. The White House is expected to nominate a permanent commissioner later this year. However, the president knocked down the prospect of appointing a special prosecutor to investigate the IRS, saying the congressional investigations and a separate Justice
Department probe should be enough to nail down who was responsible for improperly targeting tea party groups when they applied for tax-exempt status. Obama and Erdogan were questioned during a light but steady rain during Thursday’s outdoor event. As the rain picked up, the president summoned a pair of Marine guards to provide umbrellas for Erdogan and himself, joking, “I’ve got a change of suits, but I don’t know about our prime minister.” The news conference marked Obama’s first comments on the government’s
widely criticized seizure of telephone records of reporters and editors of The Associated Press in an investigation of news leaks. The president spoke of the importance of striking a balance between “secrecy and the right to know” but said he would make no apologies for trying to protect classified information that could put Americans at risk. “I’ve still got 60,000-plus troops in Afghanistan, and I’ve still got a whole bunch of intelligence officers around the world who are in risky situations,” he said. “Part of my job is to make sure that
we’re protecting what they do, while still accommodating for the need for information.” The president said he continues to have confidence in Attorney General Eric Holder, who has been the target of intense criticism from lawmakers after the phone record subpoenas were made public. The IRS and Justice Department controversies have coincided with a revival in the GOP-led investigations into the September attacks in Benghazi, which claimed the lives of the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other Americans.

TIF for house conversions a bad plan A proposal to use city funds to convert multitenant houses in DeKalb’s Ellwood Historic Neighborhood is an unwise attempt to rush a process that should occur naturally. The plan, pitched to City Council members this week, calls for the city of DeKalb to use tax increment financing revenue to buy houses designed for multiple tenants, renovate them for use as single-family homes, and re-sell them on the open market. The idea is to reduce the density in the neighborhood and improve the quality of its houses, thereby improving its appearance and livability. But
if there really is a desire for this kind of change, it should happen naturally through private enterprise. It’s called “gentrification,” and it happens often in cities when the market determines that a desirable location is being underutilized. Part of the reason that hasn’t happened yet in the Ellwood neighborhood is because no one is expecting the city to make money from this house-flipping plan. City officials project the city would lose $45,000 on each house, provided they buy them for $150,000, spend $75,000 on renovations, and sell them for
For the record If the business of renovating and reselling houses were an exact science, it would be a lot easier to calculate DeKalb’s risk in the deal. But the real estate market is not an exact science. There are no guarantees what the city might lose on the deal, or how long the properties would be publicly owned (and likely empty, unless the city wants to play landlord in the meantime). $180,000.

lot easier to calculate the city’s risk in the deal. But the real estate market is not an exact science. There are no guarantees what the city might lose on the deal, or how long the properties would be publicly owned (and likely empty, unless the city wants to play landlord in the meantime). What’s more, as 5th Ward Alderman Ron Naylor appropriately asked at Monday’s City Council meeting, “How much more life is really left in some of those houses?” The answer: Probably not much. Many of the houses in the neighborhood have been
used as boarding houses since the early days of the university we now call Northern Illinois. They are large buildings that have seen hundreds upon hundreds of tenants come and go. They have seen their share of wear and tear from inhabitants and elements. (It also bears noting that those houses have been there for a long time, and the character of the neighborhood should have been well-known to anyone who chose to move there.) Although many of these properties are suitable for college students or other people looking for a place to stay, they might struggle to compete

against other local options for the single-family homebuyer. If this program induced only a couple of property owners to sign on to sell, it would be a drop in the bucket that would do little to change the greater neighborhood. If many owners sign on to sell, the city would assume more risk – and a larger real-estate portfolio. City Council members took no action on the proposal at their meeting this week, asking for more information before a vote. Despite the potential to create a program that would please some voters in the area, aldermen should reject it.

Feds’ chilling overreaction
Whistle-blowers have lost their nerve Two weeks after the press partied hearty with President Barack Obama at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, the administration admitted that federal authorities had secretly combed through phone records for dozens of Associated Press journalists. If ever there has been a reason to abolish this embarrassing display of fake camaraderie between journalists and the government officials they cover, this is it. The Department of Justice didn’t stop at authorizing subpoenas for the journalists’ office phone records. As The New York Times reported, “the dragnet covered the work, home and cellphone records used by almost 100 people at one of the oldest and most reputable news organizations,” and it went on for months. Among the targeted phone lines: AP general office numbers in Washington, New York and Hartford, Conn., and the main number for reporters covering Congress. AP President Gary Pruitt called it a “massive and unprecedented intrusion.” “There can be no possible justification for such an overbroad collection of the telephone communications of The Associated Press and its reporters,” Pruitt wrote to Attorney General Eric Holder. “These records potentially reveal communications with confidential sources across all of the newsgathering activities undertaken by the AP during a two-month period, provide a road map to AP’s newsgathering operations and disclose information about AP’s activities and operations that the government has no conceivable right to know.” The next day, more than 50 news organizations – including The New York Times, NPR and The Washington Post – signed a letter to the Justice Department protesting the decision to secretly obtain AP’s phone records. It read, in part:
VIEWS Connie Schultz “In the 30 years since the Department issued guidelines governing its subpoena practice as it relates to phone records from journalists, none of us can remember an instance where such an overreaching dragnet for newsgathering materials was deployed by the Department, particularly without notice to the affected reporters or an opportunity to seek judicial review.” Steven Aftergood, a government secrecy expert at the Federation of American Scientists, told The Washington Post, “This investigation is broader and less focused on an individual source or reporter than any of the others we’ve seen. They have swept up an entire collection of press communications. It’s an astonishing assault on core values of our society.” Deputy Attorney General James Cole, who ordered the subpoenas, tried to explain away spying on a major news organization as part of a “criminal investigation involving highly classified information.” The feds were investigating leaked details of a CIA operation in Yemen that foiled an al-Qaida plot last year to set off a bomb on an airplane headed to the United States. Holder said he couldn’t comment on the subpoenas but went on and on about how he trusts his peeps. “The people who are involved in this investigation, [whom I’ve known] for a great many years and whom I’ve worked with for a great many years, followed all of the appropriate Justice Department regulations and did things according to DOJ rules,” Holder said. “Based on the people that I know – I don’t know about the facts, but based on the people I know – I think
that that subpoena was done in conformance with DOJ regs.” He added: “I don’t know all that went into the formulation of the subpoena. This was a very serious leak, a very, very serious leak. ... It put the American people at risk, and that is not hyperbole. It put the American people at risk, and trying to determine who was responsible for that, I think, required very aggressive action.” In other words, just trust him. Meanwhile, journalists around the country are asking, “What the heck is going on?” It should be the question on every concerned citizen’s mind. It breaks my heart that we need this reminder: A thriving – and free – press is often the only check on representative government. Already, potential government whistle-blowers have lost their nerve and never will pick up that phone. Last month, the president took a serious turn at the end of his speech at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner and paid tribute to journalists’ efforts during the recent tragedies in our country: “We also saw journalists at their best – especially those who took the time to wade upstream through the torrent of digital rumors to chase down leads and verify facts and painstakingly put the pieces together to inform and to educate and to tell stories that demanded to be told.” Another story demands to be told, and it ain’t going to be pretty. Fellow journalists, the party’s over.

When the Justice Department launched its investigation of alleged leaks of national security information by the Obama administration a year ago, we were skeptical. The history of such probes is mainly a tale of dead ends and unintended negative consequences. That this effort to criminalize a leak was launched amid an election-year uproar seemed especially inauspicious. Our forebodings have been borne out with the revelation that federal prosecutors have undertaken a broad sweep of The Associated Press’s phone records. Whatever national security enhancement this was intended to achieve seems likely to be outweighed by the damage to press freedom and governmental transparency. The Justice Department’s apparent purpose is to track down the person or persons who told AP about the Central Intelligence Agency’s disruption of a Yemen-based terrorism plot. Federal prosecutors subpoenaed records for 20 separate office, home and cellular phone lines belonging to AP and its reporters or editors. The subpoenas covered a two-month period in the first half of 2012. Crucially, Eric Holder they did not follow the usual Justice Department policy, which is to give news organizations a chance to negotiate or contest such a subpoena ahead of time. That policy is rooted in sound respect for the First Amendment. It’s not legally binding – in part because the Justice Department and the press have recognized a mutual interest in resolving such matters without potentially counterproductive congressional or judicial intervention. In a letter to AP President and CEO Gary B. Pruitt on Tuesday, Deputy Attorney General James M. Cole explained that the department had no alternative means of gathering essential information. He also intimated that Justice had kept AP in the dark until a few days ago so as to avoid “a substantial threat to the integrity of the investigation.” Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr., who recused himself from the investigation after he was interviewed by the FBI, fleshed that assertion out at a news conference Tuesday, saying at issue is one of “the top two or three most serious leaks that I have ever seen” which “put the American people at risk, and that is not hyperbole.” Perhaps that’s so – we have no independent means of verifying Holder’s claim, though we hope reporters are working on it. As Pruitt responded Tuesday, “We held that story until the government assured us that the national security concerns had passed. Indeed, the White House was preparing to publicly announce that the bomb plot had been foiled.” The usual reason for keeping a subpoena secret is that the target would otherwise try to destroy documents. In this case, AP could not have done so even if it wanted to, since the relevant records were in the possession of its phone service providers. Without even giving AP a chance to weigh in, we don’t see how the department could intelligently weigh its prosecutorial needs against this broad subpoena’s chilling effect on reporters and their sources. Of course, if Justice Department officials are overreacting, they aren’t alone. The investigation of AP began in response to Republican outrage about the purported fact that White House officials were leaking secret information and spinning it to make President Barack Obama look good for re-election purposes. In response, the Obama administration launched the present investigation, on top of the six (mostly unsuccessful) ones it had attempted previously – which, judging on costs and benefits visible to date, were probably six too many.

MAC and Sun Belt look to expand bowl lineup As the power conferences work to secure spots in the most desirable bowl games, the Mid-American Conference and Sun Belt also are trying to expand their postseason lineups. Sun Belt Commissioner Karl Benson said he wants his conference to add one more bowl to the two it has already. The MAC currently has deals to send three of its team to bowl games, but Commissioner Jon Steinbrecher said he expects that number to grow. All major college football conferences are in process of negotiating with bowls to put together postseason lineups for 2014 and beyond. Current deals expire after this season. The MAC has averaged nearly six bowl-eligible teams over the last five seasons, including a record seven last season, and Steinbrecher doesn’t ever want to see a member left out of the postseason when it is eligible. That happened to Temple, when it went 8-4 in 2010. “I have not found a big upside to not having sufficient guaranteed spots for my bowl-eligible teams,” Steinbrecher said Thursday. “It makes for a very stressful conclusion to the season.” – Wire report

Indian Creek’s Emily Schilling is thriving for the Timberwolves’ girls soccer and track and field teams this spring.
When Emily Schilling first approached Indian Creek girls soccer coach Luke Anderson and track coach Dane Bell about doing both sports last spring, the two coaches decided to do something unusual. They didn’t force her to declare a primary sport or commit to being at one sport’s practices every single day. Instead, they put the decisions in her hands, only offering advice on what games or meets might mean more if there were conflicts. “Early in the year, Dane and I let her choose. We don’t really try to pull her,” Anderson said. “She can come to a game and I’m happy to see her or she can go to meet and I understand.” After getting used to the two-sport schedule as a freshman, Schilling flourished in both sports this spring
as a sophomore. She was the soccer team’s’ leading goal scorer and helped lead the Timberwolves to the program’s first regional championship in school history. In track, she qualified for the Class 1A state meet in the 800 and 1,600 and advanced to Saturday’s finals in both events on Thursday, running personal bests of 2:23.80 and 5:22.74. Although Indian Creek doesn’t have a fall cross country team, Schilling built up a solid base on her own, running in several meets for Northern Illinois Athletics Running Club. The difference was obvious to Bell early on this year. She put in a ton of mileage over the summer, through the fall,” Bell said. “She came in, first meet …she’s running 5:40 right off the bat indoors just off her endurance training.”

DeKalb’s Haley Tadd makes a run for third base in Thursday’s game at Kaneland. The Knights shut out the Barbs 4-0.
Kaneland wins NI Big 12 East, but Barbs still confident By ANTHONY ZILIS sports@daily-chronicle.com DeKALB – DeKalb softball coach Jeff Davis’s confidence hasn’t waned. With one game remaining before the postseason, the Barbs haven’t exactly closed out the regular season on a high note after losing three in a row, including Thursday’s Northern Illinois Big 12 East championship-deciding 4-0 loss to Kaneland. But Davis is resolute that his team is ready for the postseason, even though they’ve struggled against three quality opponents this week. “I don’t think there’s anything to turn around to be honest,” Davis said. “We’re a good softball team, they were better today.” Kaneland pitcher Ellissa Eckert dominated the Barbs all day. The senior didn’t allow a base runner until the fourth inning, when DeKalb’s Sabrina Killeen finally broke through for the Barbs (19-8, 7-3 Northern Illinois Big 12 East) with a single. “Our hitters sat up there and took first-pitch strike after first-pitch strike,” Davis said. “It’s a known statistic that your batting average is best on a 0-0 count, and we’re sitting up there and getting in a hole.” By the time DeKalb reached base, the Knights (21-3, 9-1 NI Big 12 East), who won their second consecutive
DeKALB – Marc Dubrick was never lacking for motivation in the final sports season of his high school career. All the DeKalb senior had to do was look at the accomplishments of his future college teammates. Dubrick, who will be a walk-on at Missouri, didn’t want to be left behind. “I was like ‘Wow look at all these times that they run and what my teammates run,’ ” Dubrick said. “I was like ‘I have to step up, I’m not going to be the slowest one. I want to make a name for myself.’ ” Dubrick’s high school swim season lasted a week longer than usual when he qualified for the state meet as part of the DeKalb-Sycamore coop’s medley relay. In the past, Dubrick had continued swimming during track season with the YMCA, but this season he chose to focus exclusively on running after signing with Missouri. The added mileage led to quick times right out of the gate for Dubrick. They progressively dropped and culminated with two personal records for Dubrick at the Northern Illinois Big 12 East meet last weekend, winning both the 3,200 and 1,600 titles. Dubrick’s time of 9:19.82 in the 3,200 broke DeKalb’s school record by six seconds. It’s also the 14th fastest Class 3A time in the state, according to dyestatil.com While Dubrick controlled the race at conference, he’ll face a loaded field at the Class 3A Huntley Sectional. In the 3,200, Dubrick will face three runners ranked in the Top 100 nationally. Dubrick qualified for the cross country state meet in the fall, but will be looking for his first trip to the track state meet in Charleston.

The junior reached base on a bunt in the third inning and scored on a wild pitch before Paige Kuefler drove in Allyson O’Herron with a double. Lanie Callaghan homered in the sixth inning, and Eckert’s performance along with a great defensive showing gave the Knights a shutout.

Engel powers G-K to DH sweep By DAILY CHRONICLE STAFF
al semifinals on Wednesday.
sports@daily-chronicle.com Genoa-Kingston softball swept Harvard in a double-header to complete its regular season with a record of 17-6 overall and 8-4 in the Big Northern Conference East. Danielle Engel got the win in the circle in both games. She hit two home runs, including a grand slam, and knocked in seven runs. Paige Keegan also belted two home runs while Tori Hensley went 5 for 5. “We tried to get a little momentum going into next week and get some confidence at the plate,” G-K coach Mike Lauer said.

GIRLS TRACK Schilling advances: Indian Creek sophomore Emily Schilling advanced to the Class 1A state finals in the 800 and 1,600, finishing in the top 12 in Thursday’s preliminary races. She was the only local Class 1A athlete to move on to Saturday’s finals. Indian Creek’s Ariel Russell jumped 14-08.5 in long jump and 33-00.25 in the triple jump, missing the top 12 in triple jump by 2.25 inches. Kate Thuestad recorded a mark of 33-04.75 in the shot put. Sophomore Chantel Kyler jumped 5-0 in high jump, but just missed the qualifying height of 5-2. Freshman Alexis VanWhye
ran 52.05 in the 300 hurdles. Nicole Goodrich threw 103-11 in the discus. Hinckley-Big Rock’s Kristen Clark ran 2:28.94 in the 800 and also did not qualify for Saturday’s finals. “Kristen had some bad luck in the race, when she got tangled with another runner with 200 meters to go and lost a shoe,” H-BR coach Greg Burks said. “She finished the race with one shoe on and the other foot only a sock.”

CHICAGO – A telling fact about this year’s NBA draft class might be that the potential No. 1 pick will be unavailable to start the 2013-14 season while recovering from a torn anterior cruciate ligament. NBA personnel officials and scouts gathered Thursday for the annual NBA draft combine, and players who went through workouts and interviews said they weren’t concerned whether this year’s class seems light on depth and talent. The player who got the most attention was Nerlens Noel from Kentucky, but the 6-foot-10 freshman’s availability will be in question because he is recovering from a torn ACL in his left knee after surgery in March. Noel said he is “ahead of schedule,” but being ready for a season opener is overly optimistic and Christmas is more of a target date.
Donovan left off roster for World Cup qualifiers CHICAGO – Landon Donovan was left off the 29-man U.S. roster for a training camp ahead of a trio of World Cup qualifiers next month. But American coach Jurgen Klinsmann anticipates he will rejoin the team at some unspecified point. Donovan, a 31-year-old midfielder who played for the last three U.S. World Cup teams, took a sabbatical of nearly four months after last season, returning to the field with the Los Angeles Galaxy on March 30. Former U.S. captain Carlos Bocanegra also was overlooked. He dressed but didn’t play for the February qualifier at Honduras, then was dropped for a pair of qualifiers in March.
Sheriff: Ex-NASCAR driver Trickle dead at 71 CONCORD, N.C. – There is that lasting image of Dick Trickle in the Winston 500 lighting up a cigarette while driving his stock car with his knees during a caution lap. He places the cigarette through a hole he carved in his helmet for a quick toke and exhales. The green flag hits and out the window goes the cigarette butt and back to racing goes Trickle. Trickle was unique driver with a unique name that found cult-like status before his death Thursday. Trickle, whose larger-than-life personality and penchant for fun won him legions of fans despite a lack of success beyond small tracks, died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, authorities said. He was 71. – Wire reports

Rays put Cy Young winner Price on DL ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – It’s difficult to envision the Tampa Bay Rays playing deep into October without a healthy David Price. The struggling AL Cy Young winner was put on the disabled list for the first time in his career Thursday, hours after the ace of one of baseball’s best rotations felt tightness in the back of his pitching arm and was diagnosed as having a strained left triceps. The Rays would not speculate on when the 27-year-old lefty will return, but did stress that the injury is not expected to pose a long-term problem.

When we put the ball in play, our defense has been outstanding.” Eckert replaced 2012 Daily Chronicle Player of the Year Delani Vest, who plays for Northern Illinois, on the mound this season. Even though she had quite an act to follow, Eckert has made a name for herself in her own right. “It’s hard coming back after [Vest], but it’s nice to know that I just helped keep the team going,” said Eckert,

the girls, back-to-back conference champions,” Willis said. “They’re 50-10 in the last 60 games, and I don’t think anyone would even know that.”
Schilling’s times consistently dropped as the season progressed and she was part of a school-record six individuals to qualify for the state meet at the Class A Seneca Sectional. Many distance runners who qualify in two events end up choosing to focus on one down at state. But Schilling and Bell are thinking long term, even if she doesn’t end up on the medal stand on Saturday. “Being that she’s a sophomore, running them both this year is going to be a huge benefit looking further down the line,” Bell said. Varying experience: Genoa-Kingston and Sycamore each qualified two entries for today’s 2A state preliminaries, but the experience levels of the athletes could not be more different. G-K junior Brianna Kramer (300 hurdles) and senior Danielle Neisendorf (high jump) have both been to the state meet before as Kramer quaified as a freshman while Neisendorf has been all four years in high school, becoming the first G-K girls track athlete to do so. Sycamore sophomore Lilia Edwards battled through a heel injury to qualify in the triple jump while the Spartans’ 4x100 relay team of freshman Lauren Goff and juniors Briana Iwans, Hannah Gross and Christina Dailey had everything come together at the sectional meet. All five Sycamore girls are competing in Charleston for the first time. Brown’s title chances: DeKalb senior Jasmine Brown enters today’s preliminary round as one of the favorites in both the long jump and triple jump. Brown’s personal-best mark of 18-11.5 in the long jump at last week’s sectional puts her as the No. 3 seed, less than three inches behind the top sectional jump. In the triple jump, Brown’s mark of 39-3.25 is more than a foot better than the second-best sectional jump. The senior has had her eye on breaking 19 feet in the long jump and 40 feet in the triple jump all season and, if she does so this weekend, it might just be enough to earn her a state title, or two.
Spartans’ Emmert, Knights’ Carter set for another battle • DUBRICK Continued from page B1 “Those guys won’t mess around at all,” Dubrick said. “They’ll make sure to get the good time they need so I’ll just stick with them.” Half-mile battle: Sycamore’s Dave Emmert and Kaneland’s Kyle Carter battled in the 800 at the NI Big 12 meet, pushing each other to personal bests. Carter finished in 1:54.46 while Emmert came in at 1:55.68. Carter’s time is the fastest 2A 800 mark in the state this year Shaw Media file photo while Emmert is fourth.

Sectional and both should easily qualify for state. Relay hopes: DeKalb’s young relay team of David Long, Dre Brown, Eriq Torrey and Drew Paszotta have aspirations of getting to the state meet. To do it, they’ll likely have to get past Huntley or Rockford Auburn, both of which have run faster seed times than DeKalb. Funny things can happen in relays though. This foursome can look to the Sycamore girls 4x100 relay team for inspiration as the Spartans were the fifth seed heading into last week’s sectional, but cut more than a second off their previous best and ran to a sectional title.

Beckham retiring at end of season By ROB HARRIS The Associated Press LONDON – End it like Beckham. David Beckham, whose curling free kicks, rugged good looks and celebrity marriage made him one of the most famous athletes in the world, is retiring from soccer. Whether striding on the grass, the red carpet or the fashion catwalks, Beckham transcended his sport and became its highest-paid player, with a fortune estimated at $250 million. The 38-year-old former England captain said Thursday he would quit after his final two games with Paris Saint-Germain, where he won a league title this season. “It’s a good way to go out,” he said in Paris. “It’s every athlete’s dream, every footballer’s dream to go out on the top – on top form or winning a trophy ... leaving as a champion.” Although he never lifted the World Cup, soccer’s ultimate prize, Beckham won enough club honors in his 21-year career to cement his status in the game and went out a winner on both sides of the Atlantic. He also helped popularize the sport in the United States, playing with the Los Angeles Galaxy of Major League Soccer. FIFA President Sepp Blatter described the midfielder as “one of the most iconic figures in global football.” “It’s the end of a chapter of an amazing story,” Blatter wrote on Twitter. “David grew up as a football loving child & achieved his dreams, and unquestionably inspired millions of boys & girls to try & do the same.” Beckham’s fame went be-

yond the game. Guided by his wife, former Spice Girl Victoria Adams, the dashing Beckham was known as much for his fashion as his feet, with ever-changing hairstyles, nail polish and sometimes outrageous outfits. In 2002, Salon dubbed him “the biggest metrosexual in Britain.” Last year, retailer H&M covered almost the entire side of a New York City building with a picture of Beckham in a pair of boxer briefs. “Sometimes that has overshadowed what I have done on the pitch or what I have achieved on the pitch,” Beckham said in a television interview conducted by former United teammate Gary Neville. “And as much as I say that doesn’t hurt me, of course it does. “I am a footballer that has played for some of the biggest clubs in the world and played with some of the best players in the world, played under some of the biggest and best managers and achieved almost everything in football.”

HICAGO – In 446 career games that have included more than 8,500 minutes of ice time, Patrick Kane has been tempted to drop his gloves and pound an opponent with bare fists. Each time, the Blackhawks’ forward has thought twice before impersonating a hockey goon. “There’s been a few times I’ve wanted to. It just hasn’t really happened,” Kane said with a grin Thursday at the United Center. “I thought it might have happened against Anaheim this year with [Saku] Koivu at the end of the game. “I don’t know. It’s not something you really think about when you’re getting ready for a game. If it happens, it happens, so we’ll see.” The guess here is that it will not.

include Martin St. Louis of the Tampa Bay Lightning and Matt Moulson of the New York Islanders. Being a finalist for one of the league’s many trophies is one thing, but Kane’s nomination represents something bigger. He has matured on the ice and seemingly off of it as well, avoiding the pitfalls that dogged him as a young
superstar in his first few seasons. As a rookie, Kane had 52 penalty minutes, many of which resulted from a lack of discipline. The next season, Kane improved slightly in that category but still had 42 penalty minutes. As for this season? Kane earned all of eight penalty minutes in 47 games. “I think it kind of speaks volumes of where my game has gone since my rookie season,” said Kane, who could become the Hawks’ first Lady Byng winner since Stan Mikita won the award during back-to-back seasons in 1967 and 1968. “I remember I used to take a lot of penalties that were kind of unnecessary, and I got that out of my game a little bit.” It’s fair to say that Kane had some nudging along the way. Hawks coach Joel Quenneville remembered benching his winger after one too many penalties. Kane quickly got the message and worked on improving his focus on the ice. “That’s all part of it,” Quenneville said. “But I
thought each and every year ‘Kaner’ has gotten better as a player in all aspects of his game. He’s gotten stronger and better and he’s growing up, as well. It’s a real nice progression in his career.” That career already includes one Stanley Cup title, and it could feature a second if all goes according to plan this spring for the Hawks. Kane leads the team with six assists in the playoffs but remains in search of his first playoff goal after scoring 23 during the regular season. The Hawks will host the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday afternoon for Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals, where they will look to improve upon a 1-0 series lead. Barring a wild turn of events, Kane will not drop his gloves. Nor will he apologize for being a Lady Byng finalist. “Like they say in the [description], it’s skill and sportsmanship put together,” Kane said. “I think it’s an award that you want to be up for. I’m excited about it and I think it’s a great honor, for sure.”
BLACKHAWKS NOTES FIVE THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT DAVID BECKHAM 1. HE’S WON EVERYWHERE HE’S PLAYED ...: Beckham has won at least one league title with every team he’s joined for a full season. Manchester United won England’s Premier League six times with Beckham, including three straight from 1999-2001. Real Madrid captured its first La Liga title in four years in 2007, Beckham’s last season with the Spanish club. He led the Los Angeles Galaxy to back-to-back titles in 2011 and 2012. He joined Paris Saint-Germain in January, and last week the club won its first French league title since 1994. 2. ... EXCEPT WHEN HE’S PLAYED FOR ENGLAND: England never advanced beyond the World Cup quarterfinals when Beckham was playing, and many blamed him – and his petulant red card against Argentina – for the country’s early elimination in 1998. Beckham made amends four years later, scoring the winning goal against Argentina that secured a spot in the knockout stage. Alas, England was eliminated by eventual champion Brazil in the quarterfinals that year. Beckham had hoped to play in a fourth World Cup in 2010, but a torn Achilles tendon ended his chances. He went to South Africa as part of Fabio
Capello’s staff, instead. 3. HE WAS FERGIE’S BOOT CATCHER: Beckham’s time at Manchester United came to an unglamorous end when he was hit in the head with a shoe that manager Alex Ferguson had kicked in anger. Beckham left Old Trafford shortly after. 4. HE’S HAD MORE HAIRSTYLES THAN GOALS: OK, not quite. But it’s close. Nothing illustrated Beckham’s status as a fashion idol more than his ever-changing hair. He was constantly experimenting with color, length and layers, and one trip to the barber would send kids across the world scrambling for a new ‘do. The Fauxhawk is arguably the most famous, but don’t forget the cornrows, the shaved head and any number of looks that were a curious combination of styles. 5. HE ONCE WORE A SARONG: Really. Just as he wasn’t afraid to be edgy with his hair, Beckham pushed the envelope with what he wore, too. He sported a sarong back in 1998, and he and wife Victoria once stepped out in matching black leather outfits. (To his credit, Beckham later admitted that wasn’t his best moment in terms of fashion.) – The Associated Press
Blackhawks ignore terrific ‘PK’ streak By TOM MUSICK tmusick@shawmedia.com CHICAGO – Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews and his teammates are doing plenty of things right to maintain a perfect record on the penalty kill during the playoffs. Here’s one thing they’re not doing. “We’re not thinking about streaks,” Toews said Thursday at the United Center as the Hawks prepared for their next game against the Detroit Red Wings. “Same thing went for our win streak this year.” While the Hawks ignore their streaks, everyone else can enjoy following along. The Hawks are 20 for 20 on the penalty kill during the postseason heading into Saturday’s Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals. That included 17 consecutive penalty kills against the Minnesota in Round 1 and a 3 for 3 mark so far against Detroit. However, Hawks forward Michael Frolik said the two successes are unrelated. He is one of the team’s top penalty killers along with Toews, Marian Hossa and Marcus Kruger. “This is a new series against Detroit,” Frolik said. “It’s a whole different team than Minnesota. They have

They’re a very smart team.” Then again, both opponents fared about the same on the power play during the regular season. The Wings finished No. 15 in the NHL with an 18.4 percent success rate on the man advantage, while the Wild finished one spot lower with a 17.9 percent success rate. Sources say: Hawks coach
Joel Quenneville calmly but firmly took exception Thursday to multiple reports that Viktor Stalberg was benched for complaining about playing time. Those reports said Stalberg wanted more ice time on the power play in the playoffs. Instead, Stalberg was benched as a healthy scratch for Game 1 against the Wings. “That story is 100 percent
inaccurate,” Quenneville said. Without going into details, Quenneville said both he and Stalberg knew the true story. “Viktor didn’t play. He knows the reasons why,” Quenneville said. “It had nothing to do with anything about our conversation. It was strictly – nothing to do with that at all. That situation wasn’t even addressed.” Quenneville was noncommittal about whether Stalberg would play in Game 2. Good answer: Lots of hockey players grow up admiring top goal scorers, but few consider the league’s top penalty killers as role models. Apparently, Kruger is an exception. Kruger said he admired longtime center John Madden as the prototypical penalty killer. Madden played parts of 13 seasons in the NHL, including a one-year stint with the Hawks during their Stanley Cup-winning season of 2009-10. “He was always great with the Devils doing that job,” Kruger said. “You watch a lot of players, but he was an awesome penalty killer.” Hawks bits: The Hawks will return to practice today at the United Center. … Toews has assists in back-to-back games.

Bulls put up fight to end without Rose By ANDREW SELIGMAN The Associated Press DEERFIELD – The next time he suits up for a game, there’s a good chance Derrick Rose will actually be in a uniform and not in a jacket and slacks. That moment can’t come soon enough for the Bulls. They got through an entire season without their superstar and kept picking themselves up every time they were knocked down, until the Miami Heat beat them 4-1 in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Nate Robinson, Marco Belinelli and Nazr Mohammed have expiring contracts, and the team figures to exercise its $1 million buyout on Richard Hamilton. Coach Tom Thibodeau also did not rule out the possibility of foot surgery for Joakim Noah, and Kirk Hinrich’s badly bruised left calf is a concern. But any talk about the future starts with one player – the guy who wears No. 1. Rose sat out all season following knee surgery, and his recovery remains the biggest story surrounding this team. He took a lot of public criticism from fans who wondered why he wasn’t back on the court. “He looked good [in scrimmages], but the big thing was he didn’t have the comfort level that he needed to play,” Thibodeau said Thursday after exit interviews. “He wanted very badly to be out there. And he made a good decision, I think. We told him from the beginning, ‘We want you to be completely comfortable before you get out there.’ He wasn’t swayed by anybody, other than doing what he thought was right. He put a lot of work into his rehab, never quite got to the point where he felt comfortable enough to get out there and play. He did the right thing, and now he has

Thibodeau said he’s confident Rose will be a dominant player again, and if that happens, maybe the season-long soap opera that surrounded his recovery from a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee will finally fade. It’s been hovering over the team since Rose crumbled to the court in the playoff opener against Philadelphia last year, sending the top-seeded
Bulls toward a first-round exit. Yet, the Bulls still managed to claw their way to 45 wins and the second round this season despite the absence of the 2011 MVP and a long list of injuries and illnesses. Just about every key player missed time during the regular season, and the ailments kept piling up during the playoffs. There was Noah essentially playing on one leg because of plantar fasciitis in his right foot. There was Hinrich badly bruising his left calf and missing the final eight games.
There was Luol Deng undergoing a spinal tap to rule out meningitis and missing the last seven games. Robinson gave the Bulls a big lift in the playoffs, scoring 34 in a triple overtime win in Game 4 against Brooklyn, playing through the flu later in that series and shaking off a scoreless nightmare in Game 4 against Miami to score 21 in the season-ending loss. Through it all, Rose remained sidelined except for hoisting jumpers and throwing down dunks before games. Asked if the Rose situation
was a distraction, Taj Gibson said no. “I just think that it was more aggravating,” Gibson said. “Every day, you’re just talking about Derrick’s injury. Just let him recover first. It’s already hard enough, knowing you just hurt yourself at a pivotal time, when you’re trying to compete for a championship. Then, you’ve got to come back and you’ve got to have the whole world asking your teammates about you, basically. That’s got to be one of the most frustrating things. Nobody can tell you about yourself but yourself.”

blending of religious and musical spirits will happen at First United Methodist Church’s Pentecost celebration on Sunday. The worship service, which will take place at the church on 321 Oak St., DeKalb, will be imbued with a jazzy sensibility from the A Wing and a Prayer Dixieland Orchestra. The Pentecost celebration is meant to be joyful, and the music selected will go back and forth between the religious and secular, said John Smith, leader of A Wing and a Prayer. “What we’re trying to do is bridge that gap by using the music as a funnel for the people to celebrate,” Smith said. Pentecost is about Jesus Christ returning to his disciples after he died, said Jon Hutchison, First United Methodist Church pastor. His return filled the disciples with joy because they knew they would not be alone anymore. They also would become empowered by the Holy Spirit and be able

8RELIGION BRIEFS Scottish cardinal to atone The statement didn’t specify that the decision was imposed for sexual misconduct VATICAN CITY (AP) – The Vatican has ordered a disgraced Scottish cardinal to leave Scotland for several months to pray and atone for sexual misconduct, issuing a rare public sanction against a “prince of the church” and the first such punishment meted out by Pope Francis. Cardinal Keith O’Brien resigned as archbishop of St. Andrews and Edinburgh and recused himself from the March conclave that elected Francis pope after a newspaper reported unnamed priests’ allegations that he acted inappropriately toward them. O’Brien subsequently acknowledged he had engaged in unspecified sexual misbehavior. He apologized and promised to stay out of the church’s public life. On Wednesday, the Vatican said O’Brien, once Britain’s highest-ranking Catholic leader, would leave Scotland for several months of “spiritual renewal, prayer and penance” for the same reasons he decided not to participate in the conclave.

Kansas prison officials charge doctor’s killer WICHITA, Kan. (AP) – The man convicted of killing one of the nation’s few late-term abortion providers is now accused of trying to intimidate the woman who reopened his shuttered clinic, prison officials said. The Kansas Department of Corrections said Tuesday it filed an administrative charge against inmate Scott Roeder
under a prison regulation which prohibits threatening or intimidating anyone. The 55-year-old abortion opponent is serving a life sentence at the state prison in Lansing for gunning down George Tiller in May 2009 at the physician’s Wichita church. The administrative charge stems from a recorded jailhouse phone call that Dave Leach, an abortion opponent from Des Moines, Iowa, posted on YouTube last month that as of Wednesday had gotten 629 views. In it, Leach is heard saying that if someone shot the new abortion provider like Roeder shot Tiller it would be “a blessing to the babies.”

RVs on the highways will need extra room Dear Abby: It’s vacation time again, time to hit the road in the RV. Please make your readers aware that people driving motorhomes, towing fifth-wheel trailers and travel trailers CANNOT stop as quickly as a small car or truck. When people cut in front of an RV or a large truck and slam on their brakes, it puts many people’s lives in danger. There is a reason we leave that large space between our RV and the vehicle in front of us. It provides us room to stop as well as the ability to see what’s happening in the traffic ahead.
DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips Your readers should also know that even though we RV-ers have mirrors and possibly rear video cameras, there are many blind spots – especially if the car behind us is following too close or weaving in and out of lanes. The bottom line is: Be safe. Be courteous. Drive like your life and the lives of others are in your control because it is literally true. – Happy Camper, Pasco, Wash.
Dear Happy Camper: I’m glad you wrote because I have received several letters recently, asking me to alert my readers about the risk of driving too close to RVs and fifth-wheel vehicles. Too many motorists don’t realize that it’s impossible to stop suddenly while pulling a load that weighs several tons. A word to the wise ... Dear Abby: I have a friend who was raised Catholic. I’m not Catholic, and every time I attend a wedding or funeral for one of her family members I feel uncomfortable and awkward. I often sit in the very back pew to go unnoticed.
The Catholic Church offers beautiful, unique customs that I am simply ignorant about – like when to sit, kneel, recite, take bread, etc. I feel if I don’t comply with customs at these events, I might come off as rude or disrespectful. On the other hand, if I do try, my ignorance may appear just as rude and disrespectful. What is the right thing to do in situations like these? I want to be respectful of any religion. – Mannerly in Indiana Dear Mannerly: No rule of etiquette demands that you participate in the rituals of
another person’s religion. If you feel uncomfortable sitting while others kneel or stand, then follow their lead. Or, continue to sit quietly at the back of the church as you are doing, which is perfectly acceptable. However, only members of the congregation in good standing should take Communion.

ECG is standard for evaluating chest pain Dear Dr. K: I recently had an electrocardiogram and my doctor gave me a copy of the tracing. Can you tell me what I’m looking at? Dear Reader: When the 20th century began, more than 100 years ago, doctors had no way of looking inside the body of a living person. Yet we knew from autopsies of people who had died that all of the normally invisible internal organs could become diseased. So the search was on for ways to “see” inside the body. The idea was simple: If you could spot a problem with an internal organ, you might be able to treat it and prevent future suffering. The discovery of X-rays began what has become a dramatic improvement in our
ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff ability to make internal organs visible. X-rays could see how large the heart was. They also allowed doctors to draw some conclusions about how well the heart was working. For example, X-rays could see if blood was building up in the lungs (which happens in heart failure). At about the same time as the discovery of X-rays, doctors invented another way of “seeing” the heart: the electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG). The heart works by producing, and responding to, electrical signals. The ECG
measures those signals. It has become the most widely used test for detecting heart problems, as it’s easy to perform, noninvasive and produces results right away. If you seek medical attention because of chest pain, shortness of breath or other symptoms that suggest a possible heart attack, you’ll almost certainly get an ECG. When you undergo an ECG, you lie down as a technician applies electrodes, or leads, to your chest, arms and legs. These leads pick up the electrical signals being given off by your heart. There are multiple leads in different positions, reading the signals from different parts of your heart. This enables doctors to find the location of possible
heart damage. The ECG produces a reading, or tracing, of the electrical activity that occurs with each heartbeat. That tracing is a series of wavy black lines. The four chambers of the heart need to beat in a coordinated fashion. They do so as the result of electrical signals caused and transmitted by special heart cells. If your heart is beating normally, the whole cycle takes about one second. (I’ve put an illustration on my website, showing how an ECG tracing corresponds with the phases of a heartbeat.) By evaluating the ECG tracing, doctors can spot an irregular heartbeat (an arrhythmia), find out whether your heart is enlarged, iden-
tify a part of your heart that is not getting enough blood, and even detect the signs of damage from an old heart attack. The ECG is crucial for evaluating chest pain. ECG abnormalities are often enough to diagnose a heart attack that’s in progress, allowing doctors to begin treatment. Thank goodness for the Dutch physician, Willem Einthoven, who developed the ECG; he richly deserved the Nobel Prize that he received in 1924.

The numbers don’t lie on teenage drinking Dr. Wallace: All you ever say about alcohol consumption is, “Teens, don’t drink alcohol, and if you do, stop.” Are you aware that all those who drink sensibly can enjoy the relaxing feeling after a tedious day at work or at school? I’m an 18-year-old guy and have been drinking socially for over two years with my parents. They started me out with wine and about six months ago introduced me to beer. I’ve consumed a fair amount of alcohol in my short life, and I’m proud to say that I have never been drunk. That’s because I was taught to consume alcohol sensibly. My parents have never ever had a problem because they consume alcohol and neither have I. Please stop
’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace telling teens about the “evils” of alcohol. Start telling them the joys of unwinding after a stressful fling. – Mike, Nashua, N.H. Mike: There is nothing sensible about the consumption of alcohol! The world would be a better, safer place if alcohol didn’t exist. Alcohol originally was consumed for warmth, but it eventually evolved into the most abused drug on earth and has destroyed countless lives. I think your parents made a terrible mistake introducing you to alcohol at the impressionable age of 16.
8ASTROGRAPH By BERNICE BEDE OSOL Newspaper Enterprise Association
TODAY – Try to start setting aside a little seed money in the year ahead. There’s a strong possibility you’ll be offered a chance to join an exciting new business opportunity. Be sure it can deliver before you participate. TAURUS (April 20 – May 20) – Your leadership qualities will be quite evident to your colleagues. Don’t be surprised if they look to you for direction. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – This is a good day to nail down a financial arrangement that you’ve been working on. It should gratify all of your expectations. CANCER (June 21 – July 22) – You’ve got the right moves, whether you’re directing a group endeavor or independently launching a new project. Show your stuff. LEO (July 23 – Aug. 22) – Lady Luck has her eye on you, and she’s likely to pull some rabbits out of her hat just when you need them the most. Use this bit of good fortune to accomplish something big. VIRGO (Aug, 23- Sept. 22) – If you need to get approval for something, step up and make your pitch. Your audience is likely to be more receptive now than it will be tomorrow. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Nostalgia will be a tempting refuge, but don’t fall prey to its siren song. There are things in your current life that deserve and demand attention. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Even though an idea that works exceptionally well happens to be yours, you’ll let the group as a whole take the bows. This will make you more popular than ever. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.21) – The best thing you can do right now is to settle in and do your work as well as you can. Your quiet achievement will not go unnoticed. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) – Good friends could prove to be of enormous emotional support. If you’re feeling down in the dumps, seek out the company of the people who know and love you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 – Feb. 19) – You’ll be more motivated to do a good job if you keep in mind that your labors are not just for you, but mostly for those you love. PISCES (Feb. 20 – March 20) – Good news that will considerably brighten your spirits is forthcoming. It has to do with a relationship that you recently initiated. ARIES (March 21-April 19) – An aura of opportunity is embracing you, so make the most of it. Now is the time to go after something you’ve been hoping to accomplish.
Alcohol consumption can do much more than offer a relaxing feeling after a tedious day. Please allow me to present some numbers, courtesy of the booklet, “Alcohol and the Teenage Drinker,” by Life Skills Education. After reading the numbers, you will understand why I encourage, and will continue to encourage our teen readers to avoid this powerful and addictive drug. 1.) 2 out of 5 murders, 1 out of 3 suicides, 2 out of 5 assaults and 3 out of 5 cases of child abuse are connected to the use of alcohol. 2.) 1 out of 2 deaths by fire and 1 out of 3 deaths by drowning are alcohol-related, as are 2 out of 5 home accidents. 3.) 25,000 Americans die in
8SUDOKU
alcohol-related crashes every year. 4.) 800,000 automobile crashes occur yearly as a result of drinking and driving. 5.) 1 out of 2 “in-patients” in city hospitals is there because of an alcohol-related problem. 6.) The diseases of alcoholism are the third leading cause of deaths in the United States. 7.) There are an estimated 10 million alcoholics in the United States today. 8.) Alcoholics live 10 to 12 years less than non-alcoholics. 9.) 8,000 young adults are dying in automobile crashes caused by alcohol every year. 10.) 3 out of 5 young people aged 16 to 24 who were killed in an automobile crash died
BRIDGE Phillip Alder
because someone consumed alcohol. These crashes are the leading cause of death among the 16 to 24 age group. 11.) 40,000 young adults are seriously injured by alcohol-related crashes every year. 12.) National surveys indicate 1 out of 3 high school seniors get drunk at least once a month. 1 out of 5 male and 1 out of 10 female 12th graders admits he/she sometimes drink until they pass out. Mike, these shocking figures are sobering! Don’t you now agree?

8CROSSWORD
First stayman, then three of a minor What does it mean if, after opener begins with one notrump, responder bids two clubs, Stayman, then rebids three of a minor? As is so often true in bridge, the answer depends on something else in your methods. In this case, do you transfer into the minors? If you do not, tune in tomorrow. If you do transfer into the minors, though, this sequence shows a four-card major, five-plus in the bid minor, and either fear for three no-trump or thoughts of a slam. In this deal, if South had rebid two hearts, North would have jumped to three no-trump. But when South denied a major, it became possible that five (or six!) diamonds would make when three notrump would fail because the defenders would take the first five tricks in hearts. Here, though, South, because he disliked diamonds and had good holdings outside the suit, settled into three notrump. West leads the heart six: seven, nine, jack. How should South continue? From both the Rule of Eleven and East’s third-hand-high play, South knows that West has a slew of hearts ready to run if East gets on lead to return a heart. So, East must be kept off play. This means that taking the diamond finesse is wrong. Instead, declarer should take two club finesses through East. After playing a spade to dummy’s 10, South runs the club eight. West wins with his jack and (best) shifts to a diamond, but South puts up dummy’s ace and takes a second club finesse, netting an overtrick with this distribution.
