Sycamore spelling champ in D.C. 281 compete in national bee event underway today

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – Competing in the nation’s largest spelling bee hasn’t proved daunting for 13-year-old Sycamore Middle School student Matthew Rogers.

“I think it’s going to be fun,” Rogers said. “I don’t think it will be nerve-wracking.”

Rogers won the 2013 DeKalb County Spelling Bee on Feb. 23, and is now set to spell his way through the Scripps National Spelling Bee, which starts today. The contest brings 281 participants together at Washington, D.C. to fight for the championship. The winner

In the past, Rogers said he hasn’t faced any words that were tough to spell. Each time he competed in a spelling bee, he studied the lists of words he

was given.

But for the Scripps National Spelling Bee, he’ll have to know the definitions of words, too.

“That’s something that is going to be completely new for

us,” said his father, Paul Rogers.

Matthew Rogers has been training with his father by studying flash cards.

They also train by going through the Merriam-Webster’s Vocabulary Builder, which has words broken down by roots. Matthew Rogers will take a word such as omnivorous and study how ‘omni’ means all and ‘vore’ means eat to know the meaning of the word.

However, the contest also has another challenge, spelling words in languages such as Latin and French.

Lawmakers OK Medicaid expansion

By SOPHIA TAREEN The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – Illinois lawmakers moved forward Monday on a historic expansion of Medicaid and adding more protections for pet owners, but heavy lifting on the state’s most pressing issues – pensions, a budget, expanded gambling, gay marriage and gun control – remained with the clock ticking toward a Friday deadline.

After nearly three hours of debate, the House approved a key part of President Barack Obama’s health care law. The proposed Medicaid expansion would cover low-income adults who don’t have children at home and up to 500,000 uninsured Illinoisans would be newly eligible for coverage. Under the multifaceted measure, 342,000 people are expected to enroll by 2017.

“This is the cornerstone of our president’s agenda. Many of us have been waiting for this moment,” said Rep. Sara Feigenholtz, a Chicago Democrat and bill sponsor. She tamped down questions from Republicans over timing by saying those who need care can’t wait another day.

“They will become insured for the first time in history,” she said.

House lawmakers approved the measure 63-55. It heads back to the Senate after House changes. Gov. Pat Quinn, who is in favor, said it would “improve the health of hundreds of thousands of the most vulnerable people across Illinois.” U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, the No. 2 Senate Democrat, made an appearance during the floor debate, but didn’t speak.

Numerous Republicans questioned the cost given Illinois’ disastrous finances and

Desert Storm Army veteran Mike Henning is hugged by his stepdaughter, Bobbie Henning, 5, before the start of Monday’s Memorial Day parade in downtown DeKalb.

The weather early Monday morning was dismal, but the cold temperatures and drizzle didn’t stop Sheryl and Charles Hillier from watching the parade.

With a son serving in the Air Force, the Hilliers said they believed it was their duty to attend the DeKalb Memorial Day Parade to commemorate those who paid the ultimate sacrifice.

“This weather being so dismal is nothing compared to the sacrifices they faced during all of those wars ... and this goes way back to the Revolutionary War as well,” said Sheryl Hillier. “To see the hardships they’ve gone through, this is nothing.”

On Monday across the United States, communities such as DeKalb and Sycamore paid tribute to men and women who died while serving in the armed services. In both DeKalb and Sycamore, members of the community listened to speeches about patriotism and the obligation to honor those who died in the service.

At the Ellwood House in DeKalb, Park District President Phil Young quoted Robert Ingersoll, a Civil War veteran who became one of the more distinguished orators in American history.

In the crowded Sycamore Veterans Club, Michael Hermes, a high school junior, spoke at the Memorial Day program as the winner of

Chicago man charged in slaying of baby

By JASON KEYSER The Associated Press CHICAGO – A Chicago man accused of killing a 6-month-old girl in a shooting that also wounded her father was seeking revenge for the theft of a video game console, authorities said Monday.

Koman Willis was charged with first-degree murder Monday in the death of the infant, Jonylah Watkins, who was shot March 11 while sitting in her father’s lap in a minivan.

The baby’s father, Jonathan Watkins, was seriously wounded in the attack, and police say he was the intended target.

Koman Willis The shooting, which took place in the middle of the day in the Woodlawn neighborhood on the city’s South Side, was one of several earlier this year that brought attention to the gang violence in Chicago.

Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy told reporters the suspect is a documented gang member with 38 previous arrests and was acting in response to a

burglary at his mother’s home.

“He knew Jonylah’s father, Jonathan, and shot him in retaliation for a stolen video game system,” McCarthy said. “Jonylah was obviously not the intended target of this assault.”

Willis is also charged with aggravated battery with a firearm, said Sally Daly, a spokeswoman for the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office. A bond hearing is scheduled for today. If found guilty, Willis could be sentenced to life in prison. Illinois does not have the death penalty.

Chicago police devoted a large amount of resources to finding a suspect. McCarthy said Willis had long been a suspect, but “the question was whether or not we could show it in a court of law.”

Lt. Kevin Duffin, who led the investigation, told reporters that detectives found key witnesses last week.

Willis surrendered to police Saturday, McCarthy said. Police and the state’s attorney’s office could not immediately provide information about the man’s attorney.

In March, McCarthy had said Wat-

kins, who also has an extensive criminal history, was cooperating with the investigation but that there was “a lot more” help he could provide.

At the girl’s funeral, several people lamented the “code of silence” that keeps some residents from reporting crimes, cooperating with authorities or even fingering members of rival gangs who have targeted them.

Religious leaders speaking at the funeral service implored those in attendance to transform gang-riven neighborhoods.

The shooting came just weeks after the slaying of Hadiyah Pendleton, a 15-year-old drum majorette who was shot a mile from President Barack Obama’s home just days after she performed at the president’s inauguration in Washington, D.C. Police believe she was gunned down in a case of mistaken identity.

Pendleton’s death was one of more than 40 homicides in Chicago in January, a total that made it the deadliest January in the city in more than a decade. Last year, homicides in Chicago topped 500 for the first time since 2008.

Teen research: ‘Crack baby’ scare overblown

By LINDSEY TANNER

Wednesday

Daily Chronicle / Daily-Chronicle.com

The Associated Press CHICAGO – Research in teens adds fresh evidence that the 1980s “crack baby” scare was overblown, finding little proof of any major long-term ill effects in children whose mothers used cocaine during pregnancy.

Some studies have linked pregnant women’s cocaine use with children’s behavior difficulties, attention problems, anxiety and worse school performance.

But the effects were mostly small and may have resulted from other factors including family problems or violence, parents’ continued drug use and poverty, the researchers said.

They reviewed 27 studies involving more than 5,000 11- to 17-year-olds whose mothers had used cocaine while pregnant. The studies all involved low-income, mostly black and urban families.

The review, led by University of Maryland pediatrics researcher Maureen Black, was released online Monday in the journal Pediatrics.

Widespread use of crack cocaine in the 1980s led to the “crack baby” scare, when babies born to crack users sometimes had worrisome symptoms including jitteriness and smaller heads. Studies at the time blamed prenatal drug use, suggested affected children had irreversible brain damage and predicted dire futures for them. These reports led to widespread media coverage featuring breathless headlines and heart-rending images of tiny sick newborns hooked up to hospital machines.

“The field of prenatal cocaine exposure has advanced significantly since the misleading ‘crack baby’ scare of the 1980s,” the review authors said.

In recent years experts have mostly discounted any link, noting that so-

called crack babies often were born prematurely, which could account for many of their early symptoms. Studies that tracked children beyond infancy have failed to find any severe outcomes.

In some studies included in the new review, crack-exposed teens had lower scores on developmental tests than other children but their scores were still within normal limits.

Many studies found that the children’s family environment or violence were directly related to the teen’s performance regardless of whether their mothers had used cocaine during pregnancy, the researchers said.

The government’s National Institute on Drug Abuse notes that it’s tough to evaluate how drug use during pregnancy affects children’s development because so many other factors play a role, including prenatal care, mothers’ health and family environment.

Pension troubles set tone for rest of the week • ILLINOIS Continued from page A1 whether the expansion is sustainable.

Several called for a delay. A U.S. Supreme Court decision last year made the expansion optional and more than a dozen Republican-led states have declined.

The expansion would cover those making up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level, or just less than $16,000 annually, and the federal government would pay for it the first three years.

After that, states would gradually pick up a greater percentage of the costs.

“This isn’t a case of not caring about people who need health care. This is the case of us being responsible legislators,” said Rep. David Harris, an Arlington Heights Republican. “We have a duty to craft a budget that puts this state on a sound financial footing. This bill weakens our financial footing.”

Talk of Illinois’ financial problems set the tone for the week ahead.

Lawmakers are working on a budget agreement they say will avoid cuts to education and will immediately pay off bills the state owes human services providers. Democrats in the House and Senate worked together on the spending plan, and key initial votes in the House are expected this morning.

Quinn had proposed cutting K-12 education by about $300 million – reductions he said were necessary because the state has yet to resolve its nearly $100 billion pension crisis. But Democratic budget negotiators said they were able to avert those cuts because of higher-than-anticipated revenues this year and projected for the fiscal year

Gov. Pat Quinn speaks on concealed carry March 13 in Springfield. Quinn has indicated support for the measures expanding Medicaid and for the “puppy lemon law” approved Monday by the Illinois House. that begins July 1.

The two chambers remain without a deal on the pension problem – the worst of any state in the nation.

Also Monday, the House approved a plan adding more protections for Illinois consumers who buy a dog or cat at a pet store and find out the pet is gravely ill. House members voted 67-49 for the so-called “puppy lemon law.” The Senate approved it earlier this month, but House changes will require Senate concurrence. A spokeswoman said Monday that Quinn supports it.

The legislation allows buyers to be reimbursed for veterinary fees, get a replacement or a full refund if the ani-

mal dies within 21 days of purchase. It also allows them to return the animal within a year if it has a congenital or hereditary condition. Both require a veterinarian’s written statement.

Opponents said the bill was too far reaching and questioned why it didn’t include shelters.

Rep. Robert Rita, a Blue Island Democrat, the sponsor of a bill to expand gambling in the state, including five new casinos, said talks on his plan were moving along and would be ready for consideration by the end of the week.

Rita told reporters Monday that the tax rates for the new and existing facilities are still being worked out.

BEAVER FALLS, Pa. – Police in one western Pennsylvania community are searching for Bigfoot – but this quest has a better chance of success than most.

That's because the Bigfoot being sought by the North Sewickley Township police actually exists – though police say the 28-inch statue of the Yeti has been missing from the planting bed in front of Mary Fabian's home since at least May 20.

Fabian told the Beaver County Times she bought the statue online four years ago and named him Harry after the 1987 film, "Harry and the Hendersons," in which a family befriends a Sasquatch.

Acting police Chief Jeff Becze says investigators haven't found any footprints – human or Yeti – or other clues as to who might have taken the statue.

National groups help fight child porn in county

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com

and DAVE THOMAS dthomas@shawmedia.com Local police recently found 11 files of child pornography on a 26-year-old Sycamore man’s computer, but the case started hundreds of miles away from DeKalb County, authorities said.

Andrew G. Thompson, 26, of the 1100 block of Jenny Drive, Sycamore, was arrested May 9 after Sycamore police received a tip from the National Center of Missing and Exploited Children, authorities said. Thompson is next due in DeKalb County court Wednesday.

It’s one example of those local law officials have been aided by national efforts to crack

down on child pornography with the help of technology and public awareness.

John Shehan, the executive director of the center’s Exploited Child Division, said the center is authorized

by Congress to aggregate tips about child exploitation on the Internet. Tips can come from two kinds of sources: the public and electronic service providers, such as Google, Yahoo! and Facebook.

“If they become aware of child porn on their servers, they are required to report any incidents of child porn to the tip line,” Shehan said.

Michelle Collins, vice president of the Exploited Child Division, said the number of reported cases of child pornography has increased recently. In 2012, there were 415,650

“What’s happening in all areas of law enforcement is that you’ll make strides, but the bad guys will get bigger and stronger.’

Scott Mulford Press secretary for Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan cases of child pornography reported to the center’s CyberTipline, she said. In 2011, there were 326,310 cases reported.

This year, the center has receive about 10,000 reports a week, which is more a week than last year, Collins said.

During one week in May, the center’s tipline received 11,000 reports of child exploitation, Shehan said. Over 9,800 of these tips were from electronic service providers.

8BRIEFS Newly updated guide for Illinois veterans available CHICAGO – The Illinois Attorney General’s office has updated a guide to federal and state benefits for service members and veterans.

Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan’s office said the 2013 edition of Benefits for Illinois Veterans is available in time for Memorial Day. It features updates for veterans retraining programs and services for homeless veterans.

The more than 150-page book also has information for military families and survivors.

Residents who want a paper copy of the guide can contact

FBI: Man tried to open exit door on Oregon flight PORTLAND, Ore. – A passenger on a commercial flight from Alaska to Oregon was arrested Monday after witnesses say he tried to open an emergency exit during the plane’s descent and other passengers had to help restrain him using shoelaces and seat-belt extensions.

FBI spokeswoman Beth Anne Steele said passengers and crew aboard the Alaska Airlines flight from Anchorage to Portland told investigators

that Alexander Michael Herrera made “unusual statements” before trying to open the door Monday at about 5:20 a.m.

Flight 132 was preparing to land at Portland International Airport when the Arizona man set off an alarm by pulling the door handle in the emergency-exit row, Steele said.

There were no injuries.

Steele said Herrera is from Arizona. She does not know his home city.

He was being booked into a Portland jail on a charge of interfering with a flight crew and was expected to make his first court appearance today before a federal magistrate.

Hermes spoke about how the U.S. Constitution – which every member of the armed services swears to support and defend – has remained relatively static over time.

“The Constitution was not created solely to govern technology and economics. It was created to govern man,” Hermes said. “While everything in the world has changed since the creation of the United States, the basic logic of man has not. The basic structure of government has not.

And that is why the Constitution has not either.”

pornography cases may be the cause of the rising number of reports, Collins said. Internet companies are also becoming more aggressive on reporting any child pornography they find.

“There’s much more visibility efforts on cracking down on this type of crime,” Collins said.

Once the center receives the tip, they try do to some analysis, Shehan said. For instance, if a tip has a particular email address attached to it, the cen-

ter will conduct open-records searches to try to track down who might own that address.

“It’s publicly available, you just need to know where to look,” Shehan said.

Whatever information they provide is forwarded to the appropriate state attorney general, who then works with local agencies to track down the suspect.

Child pornography cases in the DeKalb County area are usually handled by the Sycamore Police Department, said DeKalb Lt. Robert Redel.

When Sycamore police receive information on a case from a town or city outside their jurisdiction, they will contact those departments to investigate.

Redel said the DeKalb Police Department handles about

four or five cases of child pornography a year. The DeKalb police handled a child pornography case recently when, on April 5, they arrested Michael Rydell, a former Northern Illinois University graduate student, on charges of possessing and distributing child pornography.

Scott Mulford, press secretary for Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan, said law enforcement is keeping up to date with technology to examine child pornography cases, but in some cases they are using the same kind of technology as the people they are investigating.

“What’s happening in all areas of law enforcement is that you’ll make strides, but the bad guys will get bigger and stronger,” Mulford said.

Mom’s obesity surgery may help break cycle in children

By LAURAN NEERGAARD The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Obese mothers tend to have kids who become obese. Now provocative research suggests weight-loss surgery may help break that unhealthy cycle in an unexpected way – by affecting how their children’s genes behave.

In a first-of-a-kind study, Canadian researchers tested children born to obese women, plus their brothers and sisters who were conceived after the mother had obesity surgery. Youngsters born after mom lost lots of weight were slimmer than their siblings. They also had fewer risk factors for diabetes or heart disease later in life.

More intriguing, the researchers discovered that

numerous genes linked to obesity-related health problems worked differently in the younger siblings than in their older brothers and sisters.

Clearly diet and exercise play a huge role in how fit the younger siblings will continue to be, and it’s a small study. But the findings suggest the children born after mom’s surgery might have an advantage.

“The impact on the genes, you will see the impact for the rest of your life,” predicted Dr. Marie-Claude Vohl of Laval University in Quebec City. She helped lead the work reported Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Why would there be a difference? It’s not that mom

passed on different genes, but how those genes operate in her child’s body. The idea: Factors inside the womb seem to affect the dimmer switches that develop on a fetus’ genes – chemical changes that make genes speed up or slow down or switch on and off. That in turn can greatly influence health.

The sibling study is “a very clever way of looking at this,” said Dr. Susan Murphy of Duke University. She wasn’t involved in the Canadian research but studies uterine effects on later health. She says it makes biological sense that the earliest nutritional environment could affect a developing metabolism, although she cautions that healthier family habits after mom’s surgery may play a role, too.

Former DeKalb County sheriff remembered

By STEPHANIE HICKMAN shickman@shawmedia.com Debbie Jacobson has many special memories of her father, Melvin Shaw, from when he was DeKalb County Sheriff in the late 1960s.

She recalled living in the apartment attached to the county jail in Sycamore, where her father would work with the prisoners and try to rehabilitate them through household chores.

She also remembered him opening their home to a family who was passing through town and had been in a car crash with no money and nowhere to go.

These acts were not unusual of Shaw, who showed respect and generosity to everyone he met, Jacobson said.

“He was a very fair, kind man,” she said. “He was always there for everybody.”

Shaw, 87, died last week at his home in Centralia,

Mo., after a short battle with colon cancer. He is survived by his three children, Jacobson, of Centralia, Mo., Steve “Gator” Shaw of Mexico, Mo. and Terry Shaw, of Aurora; sister, Millie Dickey of DeKalb; six grandchildren; and several other relatives and friends.

He was preceded in death by his wife of more than 60 years, Clarabelle, in 2009.

Shaw had been in law enforcement from 1959 un-

til his retirement as the Genoa Chief of Police about 20 years ago. He served as the DeKalb County Sheriff from 1966 to 1970.

DeKalb County Sheriff Roger Scott said it was Shaw who hired him for the sheriff’s office in 1969.

Scott said Shaw was well respected by his officers and the community.

“He was a good person,” Scott said. “He was physically very strong, as well as an emotionally strong leader.”

Shaw’s son, Steve, said his father prided himself on being a “PIG,” possessing pride, integrity and guts.

His children also will remember him as a strong role model who knew how to follow through.

“If he told you something, he meant it,” Jacobson said. “He was a man of his word.”

Scott said he thought highly of Shaw and his loyalty to his family, his job and his community.

“He always displayed a

McCain travels to Syria, visits rebels

By SUZANNE GAMBOA The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Sen. John McCain, a proponent of arming Syrian rebels, quietly slipped into Syria for a meeting with anti-government fighters Monday.

Spokeswoman Rachael Dean confirms the Arizona Republican made the visit.

She declined further comment about the trip.

The visit took place amid meetings in Paris involving efforts to secure participation of Syria’s fractured opposition in an international peace conference in Geneva.

And in Brussels, the European Union decided late Monday to lift the arms embargo on the Syrian opposition while maintaining all other sanctions against Bashar Assad’s regime after Saturday, British Foreign Secretary William Hague said after the meeting.

In this photo provided by U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., on his Twitter site, McCain visits troops Monday at a Patriot missile site in southern Turkey. McCain quietly slipped into Syria for a meeting with Syrian rebels Monday, confirms spokeswoman Rachael Dean.

Two years of violence in Syria has killed more than 70,000 people. President Barack Obama has demanded

that Assad leave power, while Russia has stood by Syria, its closest ally in the Arab world.

McCain has been a fierce

critic of Obama administration policy there while stopping short of backing U.S. ground troops in Syria, but he supports aggressive military steps against the Assad regime.

Gen. Salem Idris, chief of the Supreme Military Council of the Free Syrian Army, accompanied McCain across the Turkey-Syria border. McCain met with leaders of the Free Syrian Army from across the country, who asked him for increased U.S. support, including heavy weapons, a no-fly zone and airstrikes on Syrian government and Hezbollah forces, according to The Daily Beast, which first reported the senator’s unannounced visit.

The White House declined to comment late Monday.

A State Department official said the department was aware of McCain crossing into Syrian territory Monday.

Will justices take note of new gay marriage laws?

By MARK SHERMAN Associated Press WASHINGTON – Three U.S. states and three countries have approved same-sex unions just in the two months since the Supreme Court heard arguments over gay marriage, raising questions about how the developments might affect the justices’ consideration of the issue.

In particular, close observers on both sides of the gay marriage divide are wondering whether Justice Anthony Kennedy’s view could be decisive since he often has been the swing vote on the high court.

“It is always possible that Justice Kennedy is reading the newspapers and is impressed with the progress,” said Mi-

chael Klarman, a Harvard University law professor and author of a recent book on the gay marriage fight.

In earlier cases on gay rights and the death penalty, Kennedy has cited the importance of changing practices, both nationally and around the world.

The court is expected to rule by late June in two cases involving same-sex marriage.

One is a challenge to California’s voter-approved Proposition 8 that defines marriage as the union of a man and a woman. The other seeks to strike down a portion of the federal Defense of Marriage Act that denies to legally married samesex couples a range of benefits that generally are available to married heterosexuals.

The justices took an initial vote in the days after hearing arguments in the two cases in late March. The senior justice on the winning side and the senior justice in dissent assigned opinions based on those votes.

But while that first vote is important, it is not the end of the process; justices’ assessments of a case can shift subtly or, in some cases, dramatically.

In 1992, Kennedy initially drew the assignment to write a majority opinion for five justices allowing prayers at public school graduations. In the end, he ended up writing the opinion for a different five-justice majority striking down the graduation prayers.

According to several accounts, Kennedy simply changed his mind during the writing pro-

cess.

Current events also can find their way into opinions.

Last year, Justice Antonin Scalia’s fiery dissent from a court ruling that watered down Arizona’s crackdown on immigration included a reference to comments President Barack Obama made at a news conference that took place between the argument in the case in April and the announcement of the decision in June.

There is no way to know at this point whether anything similar will happen in the gay marriage cases, either of which could be decided on technical legal grounds that would say little about the court’s view of the issue. But there has been no shortage of action.

Continued from page A1 “A lot of them are going to be in different languages, so you don’t know how they are going to be spelled sometimes,” Matthew Rogers said.

Up to a certain level, most spelling bees are based primarily on word lists. In the case where contestants know the words very well, an announcer will give out words from an unpublished list to make the contest more challenging.

“And that’s where you really have to have a good sense of roots of words,” Paul Rogers said.

Spelling is probably more of an intellectual sport than anything else, but it is competitive, Paul Rogers said.

Matthew Rogers became interested in competing after his older brother Mark Rogers entered a few of them.

8BRIEFS Fire breaks out on Royal Caribbean cruise ship BALTIMORE – A fire that broke out aboard a Royal Caribbean ship Monday did enough damage that the rest of the cruise was canceled and the company said the more than 2,200 passengers will be flown from the Bahamas back to Baltimore where the trip began.

The fire that began at 2:50 a.m. Monday was extinguished about two hours later with no injuries reported. A cause wasn’t immediately known.

The Grandeur of the Seas, which left Baltimore on Friday, never lost power and was able to sail into port in Freeport, Bahamas, on Monday afternoon. Royal Caribbean said that passengers will receive a full refund of their fare and a certificate for a future cruise.

Bombs tear through Baghdad, dozens killed BAGHDAD – A coordinated wave of car bombings tore

through mostly Shiite areas of Baghdad on Monday, killing at least 66 people and maiming nearly 200 as insurgents step up the bloodshed roiling Iraq.

The attacks in markets and other areas frequented by civilians are the latest sign of a rapid deterioration in security as sectarian tensions are exacerbated by anti-government protests and the war in neighboring Syria grinds on.

GENOA – The Genoa Area Chamber of Commerce is upgrading everything: staff, website and now, where it calls home.

Earlier this month, the chamber opened its new home at 111 N. Sycamore St., a few blocks away from its old home of 327 W. Main St. “We decided that, as the chamber was growing, we would look for a new location that would allow us to further expand the chamber,” said Executive Director Kristie Mulso. “Make it more of a welcome center, a visitor center, and make it more accessible to the community.”

The chamber now occupies a house the city of Genoa had previously bought and renovated for their public works and economic development departments. Mulso said the house was furnished by chamber members who donated furniture and other amenities.

Mulso said the chamber will have an open house dedicating the new location from 5 to 7 p.m. June 6.

Sycamore St. The chamber will host a grand opening at the location June 6. cation, but they needed more space with their membership growing from 93 to 137 members. The new location also will house their Explore Genoa initiative.

“We’d like to incorporate into all of [the events we host] into our think local, shop local first mission,” Mulso said.

For instance, during one of their expos, chamber members received a “passport” to

the community. Inside of it were coupons to local businesses, she said.

Mulso said there have been many changes within the chamber. In addition to their larger membership, they have a new website and a new logo.

But even with the changes, Mulso still has her eyes on the future.

She said she hopes to get

to 140 members in 2013, as well as building stronger ties between the chamber’s members and the community.

“We want the community to understand that our membership and our networking is there to provide products and services for the community,” Mulso said. “Not only to think local, but to think throughout our membership.”

Kishwaukee Community Hospital has introduced the Spine Center, a comprehensive program based on a national best practice model for spine surgery. The Spine Center at Kish Hospital helps patients in the DeKalb and Sandwich areas who are candidates for minimally invasive spine surgery for common back and neck conditions.

While spine surgery has been performed at Kish Hospital for many years, this new program creates a patient-centered spine surgery experience from the moment a patient decides to have surgery to the day he or she leaves the hospital, according to orthopedic spine surgeon Dr. Raymond Hwang.

“This program also allows us to put in place research-driven best practices

that lead to better outcomes,” he said in a news release.

“First and foremost, we view our patients along a wellness continuum, with the need for surgery as a step along that continuum to improved health through the treatment and or elimination of disease,” Dr. Martin E. Gry- Dr. Raymond f i n s k i , s p i n e Hwang center co-director and neurosurgeon, said in a news release. “This fundamental concept of wellness is executed throughout the entire program, which incorporates the most appropriate analgesic, minimally invasive and rapid-recovery surgical techniques with an environment that maximizes patient recovery through

education, a culture of early mobility, family involvement and group interaction.”

Once a patient decides to have spine surgery, he or she is given a comprehensive guidebook that explains the upcoming surgery and a list of activities, including strengthening Dr. Martin E. exercises, that need to begin Gryfinski before surgery.

This guidebook also serves as a clinical diary that the patient brings to the preoperative class, to all appointments and to the hospital.

Each patient chooses a coach, usually a friend or family member, who is an active participant throughout the process. Both patients and coaches are required to at-

tend a preoperative class before surgery, where they meet their Spine Center team and learn about the procedure, what to expect in the hospital and what to do after discharge.

All staff members at The Spine Center receive special training and are chosen to work on the unit because of their expertise, positive attitudes and motivational skills.

Patients receive calls from the hospital staff after going home. Reunions for Spine Center graduates and their coaches occur periodically with surgeons and their entire team. According to national best practice studies, the result of this new approach to surgery is less pain, quicker recovery and superior outcomes.

Corporate tax code exposed

Low-skilled workers get raw deal with Obamacare Would you like to have a “skinny” health insurance policy? Probably not. But if you’re employed by a large company, you may get one, thanks to Obamacare.

That’s the conclusion of Wall Street Journal reporters Christopher Weaver and Anna Wilde Mathews. They report that insurance brokers are pitching and selling “low-benefit” policies across the country.

You might be wondering what a “skinny” or “low-benefit” insurance plan is. The terms may vary, but the basic idea is that policies would cover preventive care, a limited number of doctor visits and perhaps generic drugs.

You might ask how Obamacare could encourage the proliferation of such policies. It was sold as a way to provide more coverage for more people, after all.

As Weaver and Mathews explain, Obamacare’s requirement that insurance policies include “essential” benefits such as mental health services apply only to small businesses with fewer than 50 employees.

But larger employers, they write, “need only cover preventive service, without a lifetime or annual dollar-value limit, in order to avoid the across-the-workforce penalty.” Low-benefit plans may cost an employer only $40 to $100 a month per employee. That’s less than the $2,000-per-employee penalty for providing no insurance.

“We wouldn’t have anticipated that there’d be demand for these type of BandAid plans in 2014,” the Journal quotes former White House health adviser Robert Kocher. “Our expectation was that employ-

Did you graduate college in 4 years? Congratulations

By RICHARD VEDDER Bloomberg News For the college students who will be paying for a four-year bachelor’s degree long after graduation day, here’s some consolation: At least it didn’t take you six or eight years. College is expensive. Some students pay little for degrees from elite private institutions, after tuition discounts and financial aid. Many of their peers, however, will pay far more than they expected for lower-cost universities.

A big reason for this is the increasing number of years it takes to earn a degree.

Instead of doing something about this troubling trend, presidents of many public universities are encouraging it. Four-year degrees are passe. More often, administrators want to draw attention to six- or even eight-year graduation rates.

The U.S. Education Department reports the percentage of college students who graduate within four, five or six years. The national data are embarrassing – 34 percent of those who earn a bachelor’s degree need a fifth or sixth year to do it.

Many schools have pressed for a more liberal definition of graduation. And the Education Department, seemingly more interested in placating colleges than providing useful information to students, has dropped the somewhat-useful five-year graduation standard on its College Navigator website

and included an eight-year rate. Why stop there – why not a 25- or 50-year graduation rate?

Elite private schools can cost far less relative to public schools, not only because of the top schools’ generous aid, but also because the students mostly graduate in the advertised four years, while those at state schools don’t.

I looked at 20 elite private schools (the Ivy League colleges and others, including Stanford, Duke, Northwestern, the University of Chicago and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and calculated that 87 percent of the students in the median Class of 2011 had graduated in four years, and 95 percent in six years. I then took an unbiased sample of 20 lower-quality state universities (one of every 12 from the 248 state schools that Forbes magazine ranks).

At the state schools, 25 percent of students typically graduated in four years, and 55 percent in six. More strikingly, the probability of dropping out was greater at the state schools.

Seven years of tuition costs roughly 75 percent more than four years’ worth does, and the income lost from not graduating in four years probably exceeds $100,000.

The implicit flouting of the time-ismoney rule is starting to be more obvious.

Total university enrollments have stopped growing as perceived costs rise relative to perceived benefits. Talk of three-year

bachelor degrees has grown. They are the standard in Europe now.

While the Education Department moves to provide less useful real-world data, a bipartisan congressional effort is growing to force colleges to give prospective students more helpful information than eight-year graduation rates.

A measure in the Senate would give students post-graduation salary information by major and even provide a federal “unit record” database – tracking students from college into the workforce – that would provide much better analysis of the performance of individual schools.

Colleges have successfully warded off the unit-records approach, even getting it outlawed in 2008 on the bogus grounds that individuals’ privacy would be compromised.

The schools’ real fear is of being explicitly compared with competitors. Universities want to keep living the good life, with lots of public subsidies, rising salaries for top administrators and little accountability or exposure to market forces. For evidence of this, look no further than the acceptance of an eight-year undergraduate degree.

Apple has brought American consumers such popular wonders as the iPad, iPod and iPhone and earned billions of dollars in the process. It’s in hot water with Congress now, however, because of something it has not done: regularly paid the top U.S. corporate income tax rate of 35 percent on every dollar it earns around the world.

From 2009 to 2012, in fact, Apple managed to avoid taxes on nearly a third of its worldwide net profits, about $30 billion, which were booked to its Irish subsidiaries, according to a report by the U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. Apple’s actions “undermine the fairness of the U.S. tax code,” the report says.

We would say rather that Apple’s actions demonstrate the unfairness of the tax code – or at least its hopeless complexity. As a tax-law expert witness explained to the subcommittee Tuesday, everything the company did was arguably legal under U.S. and Irish tax law. Apple’s Irish subsidiary was not registered in the United States, so it owed no tax on this side of the Atlantic; but, under Irish law, Apple was not liable for taxation in Ireland either, since it is not managed and controlled in that country. Actually, most of the money wasn’t taxed anywhere.

Nor is Apple the only U.S. multinational corporation to avail itself of such loopholes. Companies do so as a rational response to the fact that the top U.S. corporate rate is high by international standards.

That Apple and others behaved legally does not mean they behaved beneficially, from society’s point of view. As subcommittee chairman Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., pointed out, the net effect of Apple’s tax avoidance is to raise the tax burden on everyone else.

The Apple case illustrates the need for corporate tax reform, a need already recognized by everyone from the Obama administration’s Treasury Department to the Republican chairman of the House tax-writing committee. There is also broad consensus that reform should consist of closing loopholes in return for lower rates.

Alas, it is far, far easier to describe a more efficient corporate code than to enact one. The taxation of global income has proven an especially thorny problem, in part because it is so difficult to define objectively, and in part because it’s so difficult to harmonize the tax codes of different nations. Still, the difficulty of the task is no reason to shrink from it.

8 ANOTHER VIEW

Stop handouts to wealthy farmers The deal in December to avert the so-called fiscal cliff had one welcome consequence: It derailed a new farm bill, the $100 billion annual spending package that’s renewed every five years and filled with subsidies for some of the U.S.’s most prosperous businesses.

To keep the money flowing to farmers, as well as to food-stamp recipients, the 2008 bill was extended until September, allowing Congress time to come up with a bill that would cut unnecessary handouts to farmers while preserving safety-net programs. Instead, Congress is poised to make ill-advised cuts and dole out fresh largess to farmers who don’t need it.

That’s shameful, especially because President Obama provided a good starting point in his proposed budget. It called for trimming spending by almost $38 billion during the next 10 years by eliminating the $5 billion in annual direct payments to owners of farmland and reducing subsidies for crop insurance.

Congress should build on this, starting with strict means testing for farm benefits. U.S. farmers as a group, with an average annual household income of more than $89,000, are much better off than most Americans. This year, farm net income will reach $128 billion, the highest in inflation-adjusted terms in 40 years.

The Senate, which is dominated by Democrats, seems content with aiming low. It plans to vote on a farm bill that saves just $24 billion over the next decade.

This includes $6 billion mandated this year by the budget sequestration.

The Republican-controlled House is considering lowering spending by about $40 billion in the next decade.

About half the cuts would come from nutrition programs, which make up about three-fourths of all farmbill spending. This reduction in support for food stamps is about five times greater than what the Senate calls for and would harm people who need government aid.

About 80 percent of food-stamp recipients are elderly, disabled or children; their average benefit is $4.45 a day.

Food-stamp rolls have increased to 47 million largely because of the rise in unemployment and poverty after the 2008 financial crisis, setbacks that the economy has yet to overcome. The Obama administration also made it easier to qualify for food stamps, which help the poor more efficiently than other forms of welfare, stimulate the economy and, yes, support the farm sector.

If Congress wants to reform food stamps, it should order the Agriculture Department to put tighter restrictions on what food recipients can buy. The goal should be to help people eat better, not to deny them food. That will be easier to accomplish if Congress stops wasting money on farmers who are doing fine without it.

NHL PLAYOFFS: WESTERN CONFERENCE SEMIFINALS: GAME 6: BLACKHAWKS 4, RED WINGS 3, SERIES TIED AT 3

FORCING GAME 7

By LARRY LAGE The Associated Press AP photo

Peterson says he’s ‘not with’ gay marriage MINNEAPOLIS – NFL MVP Adrian Peterson said he has family members who are gay whom he loves and respects.

But on gay marriage, the Minnesota Vikings running back says “that’s not something I believe in.”

Peterson made his comments in a recent interview with Sirius/XM NFL radio. He was asked his thoughts on the Vikings cutting longtime punter Chris Kluwe, an outspoken advocate for gay rights and gay marriage.

Peterson said he considers Kluwe a good friend. He says: “I have relatives who are gay. I’m not biased towards them. I still treat them the same. I love ’em.

But again, I’m not with that.

That’s not something I believe in. But to each his own.”

Gay marriage will become legal Aug. 1 in Minnesota.

DETROIT – The Blackhawks extended their season for at least one more game, scoring three goals in the first half of the third period to beat the Detroit Red Wings, 4-3, in Game 6 of their second-round series on Monday night.

Bryan Bickell had the goahead score early in the third and NHL’s top-seeded team earned a shot to advance to the Western Conference finals after trailing the second round-series 3-1 and beginning the third period of Game 6 down by a goal.

“We’re doing the right things to score goals and we’re confident when we get those chances that they’re going to go in somehow,” Hawks captain Jonathan Toews said.

“We’ve got that momentum, we want to keep it.”

The Hawks began the third down by one and were up by two goals midway through the period after an offensive flurry. They needed the cushion because Damien Brunner scored with 52 seconds left to pull Detroit within one.

The Red Wings pulled their goaltender, but they were unable to score with the extra skater.

Detroit carried a 2-1 lead into the third but Michal Handzus tied it in the opening minute of the final period. Bickell scored about 5 minutes later. Michael Frolik’s backhander on a penalty shot at the 9:43 mark put the Hawks ahead 4-2 and silenced the once-raucous crowd.

The Hawks will have the fans on their side Wednesday

night in Game 7 against seventh-seeded Detroit.

“If I would’ve told Detroit and Michigan we would play in Chicago in Game 7, I think everybody would be excited about that,” Red Wings coach Mike Babcock said. “I love Game 7s.

“We’ve got a chance to push them out of the playoffs.

It should be a lot of fun.”

Frolik became first player in league history to score two goals on penalty shots in the playoffs. He also did it two years ago against Vancouver.

“I was kind of surprised that I was the first one in history,” he said. “It’s a little bit special.”

The Hawks’ Corey Crawford made 35 saves and Jimmy Howard stopped 24 shots for the Red Wings.

8WHAT TO WATCH Pro basketball Playoffs, Eastern Conference finals, Game 4, Miami at Indiana, 7:30 p.m., TNT INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – Pacers coach Frank Vogel walked into Monday’s practice with a simple message for players as they adapt to Miami’s new wrinkle – using LeBron James in the post.

He’s not going to overhaul the team’s philosophy for Game 4. They just need to execute better.

Less than 24 hours after blowing a chance to take control of the series at home against the defending NBA champs, the Pacers walked back into Bankers Life Fieldhouse trying to figure out what went wrong in Game 3.

It didn’t take Vogel long to come up with a few answers.

“We’ve got to do a better job on the ball, we’ve got to be more active on our helps and we’ve got to double [LeBron James] more,” Vogel said before players watched the ugly reminders on tape.

“We’re not going to double him every time he touches the ball, but we’ll look at some things and try to break his rhythm.”

Anything would be helpful at this point with Indiana in desperate need of a win, now trailing 2-1 in the best-of-seven series.

AIMING FOR CONSISTENCY Repeatable delivery improves pitcher’s chances to succeed

Monica Maschak - mmaschak@shawmedia.com

Northern Illinois’ Eli Anderson pitches against Miami of Ohio on April 27 at Northern Illinois University’s Ralph McKenzie Field.

Editor’s Note: This is the third story in a three-part series on pitching in high school baseball.

A

pitcher’s hand had to pass through a white box each time.

As Will Strack watched game film of his delivery, University of Illinois baseball coaches would use a telestrator to draw a white box on the screen. The former Sycamore pitcher learned a lot about how solid pitching mechanics come from a repeatable delivery.

“Inconsistency is one of the biggest variables in pitching,” said Strack, who was an Illinois Baseball Coaches Association Class 3A/4A First Team All-State pitcher as a Spartan. “Without a repeatable delivery, a pitcher won’t be consistent. As we watched film your hand had to come through

that box every time everything else would follow and you could be very efficient.

“We would put Major League pitchers on the screen and watch them in slow motion. No matter how they got to the white box, their hand would pass through the same spot every time.”

At Sycamore, Strack said he had the ability to simply throw pitches past hitters. As the batters got better at the Division I level however, Strack began to take notice of his delivery.

“My mechanics weren’t perfect,” said Strack who was 6-1 with a 3.84 ERA at Illinois in 2009, was named to the All-Big Ten Freshman team but would battle arm and back injuries the next three seasons. “I was very upright and had a long arm swing. I

used my arm a lot and not my legs.

Over time, I think that led to shoulder problems for me.”

If a pitcher has good mechanics, Indian Creek coach Joe Piekarz is apt to let them go a little deeper into games.

Piekarz pitched at Northern Illinois and spent three years in the Oakland A’s minor league system.

He said the instruction he received from coaches early was key in his career.

“The development of good mechanics is a process that starts at a very young age,” Piekarz said. “At 9- or 10-years-old, if a pitcher can get balanced and execute the same finish over and over, it makes it easier for them to get to high school and have all those years of muscle memory to rely on.

“Good mechanics are definitely a

form of injury prevention. A pitcher with good mechanics won’t tire as easily as one without them. They are using their whole body and can usually go deeper into games.”

The instruction Piekarz gives to Timberwolves’ pitchers is simple. He wants pitchers to be balanced as they drive their front leg up. If you can pause at that point, you have a good balance point. From there a pitcher can “get all the way over to their front side,” as their dominant arm begins to move toward the catcher’s glove.

“The No. 1 thing is to create a repeatable delivery you can execute over and over,” Piekarz said. “That equals a consistent release point, a compact motion and no wasted movement.”

CROSSTOWN CLASSIC: CUBS 7, WHITE SOX 0

Cubs grind out at-bats in win CHICAGO – Two hours before the Cubs and White Sox faced off for the first time this season, Cubs general manager Jed Hoyer lamented at his team’s inability to get on base.

It’s not a new problem for the Cubs, and their South Side rivals endure the same issue – a failure to draw walks. The Sox rank 29th in walks with 121, and the Cubs are even worse, dead last in the majors with 116. That’s not exactly a recipe for a potent offense.

“As an organization, AP photo Cubs starting pitcher Jeff Samardzija pitches to the White Sox in the Theo [Epstein] and I strongly believe you can’t be a good first inning Monday at U.S. Cellular Field.

VIEWS Meghan Montemurro team if you don’t get on base and grind out at-bats,” Hoyer said. “If we’re not going to do that, we’re going to have to spend a lot of time figuring it out because we’re not going to be successful until we do.”

The Cubs must have listened in on Hoyer’s pre-game spiel. They drew three walks leading to two runs in a 7-0 win against the Sox Monday at U.S. Cellular Field.

The Cubs’ displayed better patience at the plate forcing Sox starter Jose Quintana to throw 95 pitches in six innings. Ultimately, the Cubs (20-30) averaged 3.7 pitches per at-bat and had only one at-bat which resulted in a first pitch out.

“When you’re grinding out at-bats, you’re grinding out quality at-bats,” manager Dale Sveum said. “Sometimes we get confused with always needing a hit instead of grinding it out and having a quality at-bat.”

BLACKHAWKS NOTES

NBA

Hawks, Wings wait for stars to shine

By JEFF ARNOLD jarnold@shawmedia.com DETROIT – Neutralizing the star power on the top two lines of both the Blackhawks and Detroit Red Wings has remained a talking point throughout the Western Conference semifinals.

Until Hawks captain Jonathan Toews snapped a string of nine playoff games without a goal with Saturday night’s power play tally, Detroit’s Pavel Datsyuk had been credited with not only limiting Toews’ scoring chances, but also frustrating him. Others have done the same to point-producers Marian Hossa and Patrick Sharp.

But the Hawks have managed to return the favor, limiting Datsyuk to one goal and no assists over the first five games of the series while teammate Henrik Zetterberg had been shut out with the exception of three assists.

That has put more attention on the third and fourth lines for both teams with Red Wings coach Mike Babcock suggesting the third line can be expected to deliver a series win for a team.

“Everybody would like to [score], but it doesn’t matter who scores as long as we

win,” Hossa said after Monday’s morning skate. “We’re facing the top two lines and against the top two lines and so you kind of cancel each other out.”

Hawks coach Joel Quenneville repeated the “it doesn’t matter who scores” mantra, saying the expectation is the same for everyone on the ice.

“Both teams probably feel they get production from all four lines – anybody’s capable of scoring whether there’s checking on the top two (lines) or checking on the bottom two,” Quenneville said. “But we expect everyone to be comparable in how they play without the puck, but there’s got to be respect on all sides on who can score on our opponents.”

Focusing in: After extending the series to Monday’s Game 6, Hawks players believed they had managed to take the pressure off themselves and put it on the Red Wings. Even though Detroit needed only one victory to advance onto the Western Conference finals, the mood around the Hawks on Monday remained loose.

“You really can’t think about pressure too much,” forward Patrick Kane said.

“But I think it is on them, especially after having the chance to close us out at home in our building and coming back here [to

Detroit], they get another chance.

“So I’m sure they’re feeling a little bit of pressure and hopefully, we can use that to our advantage and try to capitalize on them maybe making some mistakes.”

Andrew Shaw, who had two goals in Saturday’s 4-1 win, agreed.

“The pressure’s on them to eliminate us. They have our backs against the wall,” Shaw said. “Everyone thinks that Detroit is going to take the series. The pressure’s off us.”

Net worth: Hawks veteran Jamal Mayers was fined a half-day’s pay by the NHL on Monday for firing pucks at the Red Wings’ net with Detroit players in the vacinity during warm-ups before Saturday night’s Game 5.

Mayers has been a healthy scratch throughout the playoffs.

Mayers said Monday everyone in the Hawks’ dressing room will do whatever it takes to win – even if that means trying to give the Hawks a mental edge over their rivals.

“I was trying to get under their skin.

I’m not going to hide behind it or lie to you,” Mayers said. “The league fined me and took the appropriate action, and I’ll pay the piper.”

Quenneville earns 79th playoff win • HAWKS Continued from page B1 The Hawks sent the series back to Detroit with a 4-1 victory in Game 5 on Saturday night, and then jumped in front on Marian Hossa’s goal in the first.

But Patrick Eaves tied the game later in the period and Joakim Andersson put the Red Wings up 2-1 with a long wrister 10:11 into the second period.

Hawks coach Joel Quenneville made the first tactical move by starting Toews and taking him off the ice soon after the puck dropped to get him away from Henrik Zetterberg.

When the Hawks went ahead 1-0 on a power play, both captains were on the ice.

Toews won the first faceoff

against Zetterberg after the penalty was called, and ended up with an assist on Hossa’s goalmouth scramble 3:53 into the game.

Eaves, who revived his career during the lockout-delayed season after having a concussion, scored for the first time this postseason off a rebound 18:51 into the first.

Detroit put the Hawks on the power play twice in the first 3:32 of the second – once for having too many men on the ice – and Howard had to make just three saves while the Red Wings were short-handed early in the second.

The Red Wings went ahead for the first time when Anderson had the puck, which was on edge above the left circle, and flicked a wrist shot that fluttered so much Crawford couldn’t handle it.

The Hawks got to the front of the net in the third period and it paid off.

Handzus was basically by himself when he scored 51 seconds into the third against a helpless Howard. Bickell wouldn’t let Detroit defenseman Brendan Smith move him away from Howard before he scored the winning goal, leading to Howard taking Smith’s stick and throwing it into the corner.

Frolik got a penalty shot try when he had a breakaway after blocking Carlo Colaiacovo’s shot and was hacked by him from behind. He took advantage by scoring easily on Howard’s glove side.

“I was surprised they called a penalty shot,” Colaiacovo said.

Howard was too, screaming at an official while the Hawks

celebrated their comeback that was made possible by supporting players.

“There’s not a lot of room out there for top guys,” Quenneville said. “We don’t care who scores. We’re all about being a team and contributing any way you can.”

Notes: Quenneville earned his 79th playoff win to break a tie with Babcock for the most by an active coach and move past Pat Burns and into 8th place on the league’s all-time list. ... The Hawks are 5-0 when they score on a power play this postseason and Detroit is 2-6 when it allows a power-play goal. ... Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Brandon Inge attended the game after playing against his former team, the Tigers, at nearby Comerica Park and was wearing a Jordin Tootoo Red Wings jersey.

WNBA: SKY 102, MERCURY 80

Delle Donne leads Sky to season-opening win

By JOHN MARSHALL The Associated Press PHOENIX – Elena Della Donne outplayed double-dunking Brittney Griner and had the third-best rookie debut in WNBA history, scoring 22 points to lead the Chicago Sky to a 102-80 victory over the Phoenix Mercury on Monday.

The No. 2 overall pick behind Griner in this year’s draft, Delle Donne had 16 points by halftime as the Sky raced out

to a 24-point lead. She added eight rebounds and finished only behind Candace Parker’s 34-point debut for Los Angeles in 2008 and the 25 Cynthia Cooper scored for Houston in 1997.

Griner became the third WNBA player to dunk and first to do it twice in one game.

She had 17 points and eight rebounds, but was limited to two points in nine minutes because of fouls as the Sky built its big first-half lead.

The only other WNBA players to dunk during a game

were Parker, who did it twice, and Lisa Leslie.

Epiphanny Prince had 26 points and five assists for the Sky. Diana Taurasi had 18 points and four assists, and Candice Dupree added 15 points for Phoenix.

Delle Donne showed off her versatility, scoring on drives, pull-up jumpers and a couple of 3-pointers, including one at the buzzer, to score 16 points by halftime.

Phoenix also had no answer

for Prince, who hit 4 of 7 from 3-point range and had 14 points by halftime. The Sky, taking advantage of Phoenix’s shoddy defense and poor rebounding, hit 23 of 39 shots – 6 of 10 from the arc – and turning six offensive rebounds into 11 points for a 56-32 halftime lead.

The Mercury started to play better in the third quarter.

Griner scored on a threepoint play with a turnaround to start the second half and swatted a shot in the post by Delle Donne.

NIU baseball coach watched baseball on TV • CONSISTENCY Continued from page B1 SYCAMORE SUGGESTIONS The hints come during practice.

They are small suggestions meant to gradually sink in as pitchers get their arm into game shape during the preseason. Sycamore coach Jason Cavanaugh doesn’t inundate his pitchers with mechanical information. Pitchers have freedom in how they get to their balance point.

The arm slot of each Sycamore pitcher is up to them to develop as well, as long as it is consistent. Cavanaugh points to side-arm pitchers or knuckleball pitchers. Because a different arm slot is required for both, a conventional pitcher almost never throws a knuckleball or a side-arm pitch.

Adversity helps Cavanaugh build on mechanical concepts as the season progresses.

“Sometimes, a pitcher has to be unsuccessful before they will listen,” Cavanaugh said.

“Sometimes, you have to fail first, and that’s a broad term which is different for each pitcher.”

Gradually, Cavanaugh

wants pitchers to have “their front side working properly.” The glove hand has to help pull the dominant arm through during the delivery.

A nondominant side that opens too soon shows a pitcher that is “flying open,” which adds stress to a pitching arm already throwing a baseball at high velocities.

“We want a pitcher’s lead arm to work for them,” Cavanaugh said. “We don’t want to see the numbers on the back of their jersey as they go towards the plate, even though there are some guys that will work for. The ability to repeat a delivery is a skill. Like freethrow shooting in basketball or a hitter having their foot come up and down in the same place with their swing, they’ve got to repeat it.”

INSPIRATION ON TV Ed Mathey developed his mechanics the old-fashioned way.

As a player, the Northern Illinois baseball coach watched Tom Seaver on TV. He’d get to baseball practice and try to repeat the delivery of the 12-time All-Star pitcher with three Cy Young Awards, a no-hitter and the distinction of being a first-ballot inductee

to the Baseball Hall of Fame whose name was on the highest percentage of ballots ever.

Before every start as a pitcher at North Central College in Naperville, Mathey would read from Seaver’s book, “The Art of Pitching.”

It was a time when each pitcher had a unique delivery. A pitcher could easily be identified by his leg kick, arm action, head position or hip rotation.

Modern pitchers get to more familiar positions in their delivery as the attention to biomechanical consistency is a focus of summer camps and pitching academies.

“Today, kids are more apt to go to lessons at an academy,” said Mathey who earned All-College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin honors as a Division III pitcher. “Growing up, we would watch a guy on TV and try and mimic that delivery.”

While modern pitchers have similar delivery characteristics, there are some who step outside the box. Former NIU pitcher Mark Badgley would twist and turn while seemingly every body part moved away from its intended target.

“It’s OK to not have a cook-

ie-cutter motion,” Piekarz said. “Some pitchers will be successful because of their deception.

“Get balanced, drive your front leg upwards and finish all the way over your front side. If you can get to all three of those positions, you have a very good chance to be successful. But, it’s also OK if different pitchers get there in different ways.”

Even for flexible pitchers like Badgley, who had a successful career at NIU as a starter and reliever, physical conditioning is the key.

“We take a holistic approach for good mechanics,” Mathey said. “We want to get the body in proper shape.

Physically, pitchers have to have a strong core. They need a good base, because it takes a lot of stamina to develop a repeatable delivery. It’s a year-round process to try to get to that point.

“Pitchers have to be able to consistently repeat their delivery. Their arm slot and release point are related to their location and command of the strike zone. To pitch at the collegiate level, you have to be able to manage every part of the strike zone, in, out, top and bottom.”

INDIANAPOLIS – It had been nearly three years since Tony Kanaan’s last victory, a drought so long his young son had no memory of ever seeing his father win a race.

It was a sticky subject with young Leo, who just last week reminded Kanaan of the winless stretch during a phone call from Brazil.

“I was having a conversation with him about losing the other day – I was trying to teach him you don’t win every time,” Kanaan said Monday.

“He said, ‘Yeah, Dad, because as long as I remember, I haven’t seen you win.’ That was harsh.”

Harsh, but unfortunately true for a driver trapped in a never-ending search for sponsorship that had turned the past few years into an overwhelming struggle to ensure he could race.

It’s what made his breakthrough victory Sunday in the Indianapolis 500 so sweet, so special. It was a victory for the old guard, one Leo would always remember, and proved good guys sometimes do finish first.

More important, it relieved the financial burden KV Racing Technology has faced this season, a year in which Kanaan’s car lost its longtime primary sponsor and had been piecing together corporate support since right before the season opener when the team announced Hydroxycut had signed on for nine races. It left five unsponsored, and Kanaan revealed Monday that team co-owners Kevin Kalkhoven and Jimmy Vasser went into Indianapolis unsure if they’d finish the season.

“The past three years I’ve been working extremely hard, probably even harder than driving the car, to find the sponsorship to keep surviving,” Kanaan said. “I hope this win helps me a little bit more, makes it easier to either

Kanaan won his first Indy 500 on Sunday. find a sponsorship or maybe get back on a team that is well-funded. I’m not saying we’re going to make the same money we used to make, because these are different times.

“But I would like to have a little bit less pressure on my side, to just really concentrate on driving.”

He’s in the final year of his contract with KV, a team that snapped him up shortly before the 2011 season opener when sponsorship materialized.

Kanaan was out of a job at the time because his sponsorship at Andretti Autosport had gone away, and a plan to drive for a new team started by fellow Brazilian Gil de Ferran fell apart because of a lack of funding. The deal to drive for de Ferran was announced in December 2010 and evaporated two months later.

So he’s grateful to KV Racing, which has worked hard to compete on the race track and in the sponsorship game the last three years. Kanaan would like to continue driving for the team, but has grown weary of the fight.

“I’m happy where I’m at, I’m confident that with this we can build something solid for the following year,” he said.

“We were so sketchy up until this race, we didn’t even know if we were going to do the

entire year. Now I’m pretty sure we will. But I would love to work a little bit less on that side.”

It seems strange that a driver as popular as Kanaan has such struggles. The crowd clearly adores the longtime IndyCar stalwart, evidenced by the roar of the crowd when he surged past Ryan Hunter-Reay on the final restart Sunday.

The applause was thunderous moments later when a caution essentially ended the race, and Kanaan circled the track under yellow for two final laps.

They were still standing and cheering 45 minutes later when he took his victory lap, showering him with chants of “TK! TK! TK” as he passed by in a convertible.

“It gave me goose bumps, it was crazy,” Vasser said.

The entire day was filled with tears of happiness as losing driver after losing driver saluted Kanaan, who shared an emotional long embrace with Alex Zanardi, the beloved former champion who lost both his legs in a 2001 accident. Zanardi had come from Italy to watch the 500 and had Kanaan rub one of his gold medals from the 2012 London Paralympics for luck before the race.

Even Hunter-Reay, who dropped from first to third on the final restart, found solace

in losing to Kanaan.

“It hurts to come so close to winning, and it’s hard to say anything positive, but I guess the only consolation is that Tony finally got what he deserved,” Hunter-Reay said.

Kanaan was feted by threetime winner Dario Franchitti, who stood next to his crumpled car after bringing out the final caution to give his old friend two thumbs up as he passed under yellow, and Mario Andretti and Parnelli Jones. Best friend Rubens Barrichello called from Paris, sobbing so hard into the phone Kanaan couldn’t even tell who the voicemail was from.

It had taken him 12 years to win the big race, and he’d become something of a hardluck tale while ranking third on the list of most laps led among drivers who had failed to win Indy.

“I was watching the race from the Pagoda and the fans were sure happy to see Tony win, they cheered like hell and you could really hear them above the sounds of the engines when he was leading,” said Jones, the 1963 winner.

“For a while there I was afraid Tony was going to be the next Lloyd Ruby and never make it to Victory Lane at Indy. Tony will represent Indianapolis Motor Speedway well. I welcome him the club.”

It’s fitting, too, that Kanaan’s likeness will go on the Borg-Warner trophy after the late Dan Wheldon and Franchitti, two of his closest friends. He made several self-deprecating mentions of “his ugly face” and “big nose” finally making it onto the trophy.

The timing was perfect, even though Kanaan found a way to make fun of his place in history.

“The trophy is really going to be ugly now,” he said.

“You’ve got the biggest teeth with Dan next to the biggest eyebrows with Dario and now the biggest nose with me. I love it.”

FRENCH OPEN

Nadal starts slow in win; Sharapova wins

By HOWARD FENDRICH The Associated Press

Sloane Stephens, of the United States, hits a return to Italy’s Karin Knapp during their first round match of the French Open tennis tournament at the Roland Garros stadium Monday in Paris.

U.S. women go 6-1 on Day 2

By HOWARD FENDRICH The Associated Press PARIS – Success on the Grand Slam stage, and everything that went with it, probably came too quickly for Melanie Oudin, a surprise quarterfinalist at the 2009 U.S. Open at age 17.

She realizes that now. She accepts it. She’s ready to add to her resume – and excited to be part of a group of American women that appears to be on the rise together.

Oudin reached the second round at the French Open by eliminating 28th-seeded Tamira Paszek of Austria 6-4, 6-3 Monday, part of a 6-1 showing by U.S. women on Day 2 of the clay-court tournament. That means nine members of the country’s contingent have won their opening matches so far, with three more scheduled to play today.

“A lot of people say, ‘Oh, the Americans, they’re not that good on the red clay.’ A lot of us want to prove a point this year and do well here,” said Oudin, who is from Marietta, Ga., but now rents an apartment near Times Square in New York City and trains on courts where the U.S. Open is played.

A total of 15 American women entered the French Open, the most from any nation in this year’s draw and the highest number at Roland Garros since there were 18 back in 2004.

It’s also the most for the United States at any Grand Slam outside the U.S. Open since 17 entered Wimbledon in 2005.

“No one’s really, like, jealous. We all get along well,” Oudin said. “We all really want the others to do well, and I think that what’s really helping us is that pushing

each other. We all get along, go to dinner and everything.”

Monday’s other American winners were No. 17 Sloane Stephens, No. 29 Varvara Lepchenko, Bethanie Mattek-Sands, Madison Keys and Vania King. Christina McHale lost a three-setter to Slovakia’s Jana Cepelova.

“We all really motivate each other,” Keys said after beating Japan’s Misaki Doi 6-3, 6-2. “When we see someone else doing well, we want to do well also. We also cheer each other on.”

Keys is 18, the youngest of a young group that includes the 20-year-old Stephens and 21-year-old Oudin.

Mallory Burdette, 22, and Shelby Rogers, 20, won their French Open debuts Monday.

They might benefit from sharing some of the attention that will come as fans search for the Next American Tennis Star to follow the Williams

sisters, 15-time major champion Serena and seven-time major champion Venus.

“It’s a great group of girls coming up. They’re talented.

They’re all pretty fun to be around. They got good personalities,” said Mattek-Sands, who is 28. “It’s funny, because a couple of years ago, everyone was asking me: ‘Where is women’s tennis?’ Here we are now.”

Stephens made her first move to the forefront by reaching the fourth round at the French Open last year, then took an even bigger step by stunning Serena Williams en route to the Australian Open semifinals in January.

Oudin’s initial moment in the spotlight came four years ago, when she followed up a fourth-round appearance at Wimbledon with that magical run in New York, which included a victory over Maria Sharapova.

PARIS – Rafael Nadal knows this story well. All too well. Saw it up close the previous time he played in a major tournament.

Early round, main stadium, unknown opponent taking risky swings and putting everything in.

At Wimbledon nearly a year ago, it was 100th-ranked Lukas Rosol who took it to Nadal and beat him in the second round.

At the French Open on Monday, in Nadal’s return to Grand Slam action after missing seven months with knee trouble, it was 59thranked Daniel Brands in the guest-star role.

Like Rosol, Brands is 6-foot-5 and lanky. Like Rosol, Brands employed a gofor-broke style and was hitting big. And for one whole set and most of the next during a first-round match in Court Philippe Chatrier, against the most successful man in Roland Garros history, it worked.

Nadal already owns a record seven French Open titles, including the past three. His bid to become the only man with eight championships at any of tennis’ quartet of most important tournaments got off to a slow start, before he restored order by coming back to beat a faltering Brands 4-6, 7-6 (4), 6-4, 6-3.

“He was trying to hit every ball as hard as he can,” said Nadal, who improved to 37-2 this season, with 16 victories in a row. “He made me suffer, I can tell you.”

Brands came in 0-4 at the French Open, and with a sub.500 career record in all tour matches, and his strategy was right out of Rosol’s playbook: Keep points short and aim for the lines.

“That’s the way. If you give Nadal time, there’s no chance. You have to be aggressive. That’s my view,” Rosol, who’s now ranked 36th, said Monday after winning his first-round match.

“If other players play aggressive against him, that’s the only way to beat him.”

Toni Nadal, who is Rafael’s uncle and coach, saw similarities with the last time his nephew played at a Grand Slam.

“Yes, it was a little the same,” Toni said. “Against Rosol, in the fifth set, we couldn’t do anything.”

But when a reporter wanted to know whether there’s a pattern being established as to the type of foe who can bother Rafael, Toni shrugged that off, replying: “When you play against an opponent who serves really well, who puts in a high percentage of first serves, and who hits balls really fast, it’s complicated for everyone – not just for Rafael.”

Had the third-seeded Nadal lost the match, it would have been one of the biggest upsets in the sport’s history.

There was no such struggle for the tournament’s other defending champion, Maria Sharapova, who needed all of 54 minutes to overpower 42nd-ranked Hsieh Su-wei of Taiwan 6-2, 6-1.

Or for 2011 women’s titlist Li Na, a 6-3, 6-4 winner against Anabel Medina Garrigues. Or for 2010 champion Francesca Schiavone, who also won in straight sets.

No. 4-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska, last year’s runner-up at Wimbledon, kept pace with her younger sister Urszula – producer of a three-set victory over Venus Williams a night earlier – by eliminating Shahar Peer 6-1, 6-1.

Li and Radwanska both play Americans next.

MEN’S COLLEGE LACROSSE

Duke beats Syracuse for national title

By JOSEPH SANTOLIQUITO The Associated Press PHILADELPHIA – Duke rallied from an early deficit to beat Syracuse 16-10 on Monday and win its second NCAA men’s lacrosse title.

The Blue Devils trailed 5-0 in the second quarter. Jordan Wolf had four goals for Duke (16-5). Josh Offit and Josh Dionne each scored three times.

“We were down 5-0 and we really had no choice, we had to make the next play, and that’s who we are, we responded,” said Duke coach John Danowski, who won his second national championship at Duke. “We got in their grills a little bit, we told them they had to play a little tougher and a little harder than they were playing. We slowed our slide down, and start to slow things down on offense.”

But the real star for the Blue Devils was junior faceoff man Brendan Fowler, who

won 13 straight at one point to give Duke possession for long stretches. Fowler won 20 of 28 faceoffs overall and was honored as the game’s most outstanding player.

“Obviously, winning faceoffs and getting the ball back makes it a lot easier to score goals,” said Fowler, a walk-on special teams player on Duke’s football team. “But early, I violated [the faceoff circle] a few times and kind of let it get into my head a little bit. Once I cooled down a little and stuck to what I do every day, we got into a groove there and it just felt pretty good going out there every time.”

The Blue Devils failed to score on their first 11 shots but closed out with 10 of the game’s last 13 goals.

“We had the early lead in the game and we were obviously feeling good about things, but we were smart enough to know it’s a game of runs, especially with all of the

games we’ve been in,” Syracuse coach John Desko said.

“I told John after the game to buy his faceoff guy a big steak because he deserves one. We just couldn’t get the ball in the second half.”

Dylan Donahue led Syracuse (16-4) with three goals.

JoJo Marasco scored two fourth-quarter goals 35 seconds apart, pulling the Orange within 13-9 with 7:36 to play.

Offit gave Duke its first lead of the game, 8-7, on an unassisted goal with 2:01 left in the third quarter. Offit’s goal was part of a 7-0 Duke run.

“We just wanted to get one in, and once that happened, we knew we would get comfortable,” Duke’s Jake Tripucka said. “We knew if we let that hole get any bigger, we knew we weren’t going to be able to climb out of it. But we had faith in Brendan. We knew he was going to get the ball back for us.”

CUBS NOTES

WHITE SOX NOTES

DeJesus wants controversy gone

Sale feels strong after latest bullpen session

By MEGHAN MONTEMURRO mmontemurro@shawmedia.com CHICAGO – Cubs outfielder David DeJesus doesn’t want to discuss the controversy surrounding the near beaning he received from Reds pitcher Johnny Cueto.

Cueto threw above DeJesus’ head during the sixth inning Sunday prompting Cubs’ Matt Garza to criticize Cueto after the game, in part telling reporters, “that’s immature on his part.”

On Monday, DeJesus said he appreciated Garza’s support but didn’t want the issue to carry on any longer.

DeJesus was told by his teammates that Cueto was agitated when he took his time during his first at-bat of the game.

list with a muscular strain of his right forearm.

Right-hander Alex Burnett, who was claimed off waivers from the Orioles on Monday, was added to the roster. Fujikawa will have an MRI to determine the extent of the injury, and general manager Jed Hoyer said he is “cautiously optimistic” about the prognosis.

However, Fujikawa suffered the same injury earlier this season, which led to a DL stint that ended less than a month ago.

Manager Dale Sveum suggested Carlos Marmol will become the Cubs’ set-up man.

“Things had been going pretty good in the backend of the bullpen so we’ll make due somehow,” Sveum said.

former team.

Jackson (1-7) takes the mound today and hopes he can turn around his underwhelming start to the season.

The 29-year-old said he has kept in contact with some of his former Sox teammates through text messaging.

Jackson smiled when asked if he thought Sox fans would boo him upon his return to the field he called home for parts of two seasons.

“We’ll see, time will tell,” Jackson said. “I’m not sure [if fans will boo], but either way it’ll be fun.”

Roster moves: Before Monday’s game, the Cubs placed right-hander Kyuji Fujikawa on the 15-day disabled

“I don’t think this needs to get blown out of proportion,” DeJesus said. “ …

Hopefully it’s over with.

Let’s just move on. It’s not worth putting any more oil in the fire.”

Reds manager Dusty Baker drew more attention to the situation by defending his pitcher on Monday and suggested Garza and Cueto should resolve the issue themselves.

“Just put them in a room, let them box and let it be over with,” Baker told reporters.

Jackson ready to face former team: For the first time since the White Sox traded him to the Blue Jays midseason in 2011, Edwin Jackson returns to U.S. Cellular Field to pitch against his

Samardzija throws complete game for Cubs • CUBS Continued from page B1 The Sox (24-25), however, continued their own season-long struggles at the plate. Jeff Samardzija threw a complete-game shutout on 108 pitches after holding the Sox to two hits. Samardzija’s strategy centered on attacking the aggressive Sox hitters.

“I knew coming into the game they were going to be aggressive early in the count, they’re an aggressive fastball

hitting team,” Samardzija said. “I knew it was going to come down to location on that pitch and I had some good location early in the count and got some quick outs. It really allowed me to kind of hold off my off-speed stuff until later in the game.”

Sixteen of the 30 Sox batters he faced had at-bats that lasted three pitches or less.

“You just tip your hat to him,” Sox first baseman Paul Konerko said. “He was dominant.”

One game doesn’t boost or ruin either team’s bad

“The most important part of OPS is on-base percentage, that part of the equation is something we’re not doing,” Hoyer said. “You don’t see a lot of multi-run homers we’re hitting. We struggle to string along an inning together.”

Up next Cubs at Sox, 7:10 p.m., today, CSN, WCIU, AM-670, AM-720 on-base percentage. Again the Cubs and Sox rank among the worst in baseball, sitting 26th and 28th, respectively, in onbase percentage. For either team to have a legitimate chance of making the playoffs for the first time since 2008 – whether it be this season or next – better approaches at the plate must consistently happen.

By MEGHAN MONTEMURRO mmontemurro@shawmedia.com CHICAGO – Any panic caused by White Sox lefthander Chris Sale missing his last start can be forgotten.

Sale will start today against the Cubs after feeling better Monday after Sunday’s bullpen session. Sale, who was scratched from his previous start because of mild tendinitis in his left shoulder, isn’t worried about potential rust from a 10-day layoff between starts.

“He said he’s ready to go; he says he feels good,” manager Robin Ventura said. “And he feels stronger, which is good news.”

Sale was uncertain whether he would be on a pitch count.

“Not only was it good for my shoulder, but my elbow feels great, too, not throwing for a few days,” Sale said. “My body feels better, so hopefully this will last for the rest of the season.”

Flowers feels better: Catcher Tyler Flowers was back in the lineup Monday against the Cubs after missing the Sox’s past two games because of back spasms.

The back spasms were similar to what ailed him during spring training, although not as severe, Flowers said. Flowers has received treatment in the days since, however the

spasms affected his swing which kept him out of the lineup.

“I just kind of woke up with it and I had a hard time moving a few days ago,” Flowers said. “I don’t know what’s causing it or what it is. I’m just continuing to do the same things I’ve done.”

Dunn over interleague games: Sox designated hitter Adam Dunn understands the crosstown rivalry is still important to fans.

Although the intensity of the Sox’s interleague series against the Cubs has waned over the years, Dunn said he looks forward to their annual series against the Cubs.

“You don’t find a Cub fan and White Sox fan, it’s one or the other, not both,” Dunn said. “It’s still fun for us. And you throw out the records and all that stuff. We all know these four games are going to be tough.”

Despite Dunn’s enthusiasm for the Sox’s four-game series against the Cubs, he believes the novelty of interleague play is over.

“I think it’s definitely worn off for the players,” Dunn said. “For instance, our first road series was a National League game in a National League city. A couple of us had to sit. I don’t know what’s going to happen with it down the road.

I think the hype is pretty much over with.’’

Warring office employees must reach truce Dear Abby: I own a business with just two employees, my husband and a very old friend.

The friend has been in the business for 15 years, and he is critical to running it. My husband has been with me for 11 years, but in the business for only three. He is not critical to running the business.

Their relationship is a constant strain. Neither one likes the other, but they generally tolerate each other.

When tensions arise they become emotional, and I end up caught between them, unable to put an end to it.

How do we work and live in peace? Their conflict is affecting the smooth functioning of the business. What should I do to end the hostility? I’m a quiet type, which probably feeds the situation. –

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips Walking On Eggshells

Dear Walking On Eggshells: You may be a quiet type, but you are also the boss. The atmosphere you describe is unhealthy for your business.

For it to continue to be successful, your business must be nurtured as a separate entity apart from your friendship and your marriage.

Because the present situation makes it difficult for all of you to function together, I’m suggesting that you tell your husband you love him, but either he must get along with the longtime employee or leave the business – be-

cause it’s the business that is paying the bills, feeding and putting a roof over all of you!

Dear Abby: A friend, “Wanda,” invited my husband, “Hugh,” and me to a dinner party two years ago. Hugh had too much to drink and insulted not only Wanda but also one of the guests. He apologized the next day.

This is not the first time he has done this at dinner parties, and his behavior has had a negative impact on some of my best friendships. I used to entertain all the time, but I can no longer invite my friends over as they no longer want to be around Hugh.

Wanda continues to invite me to her dinner parties, but has made a point of telling me that Hugh is NOT invited.

Not wanting to lose another

friend, I have been going alone. I let my husband know why, and he says it doesn’t bother him, but I feel guilty attending without him. My friendships are important to me and I’m torn about what to do. – Party Of One Dear Party: If your husband can’t control his behavior when he’s had a drink or two, then he should not be drinking in public. That he says it “doesn’t bother him” that he’s no longer welcome in these people’s homes is sad, as it should be a glaring signal that he needs help.

Because he isn’t ready to do something about his problem, continue to socialize without him. That you do is admirable, so please stop feeling guilty about it.

Dear Abby: About a year

ago, my wife had an affair with one of the instructors at a training seminar. We are working to repair our marriage and are making great strides. She says there’s nothing else going on now.

My wife has been invited to a graduation ceremony where she is to receive an award from the same instructor. This will be the first time I meet this person, and I have mixed feelings about it.

How should I approach this meeting? – Mixed Feelings in Missouri Dear Mixed Feelings: Do it with cool civility, complete sobriety and as little contact as possible.

Folate is essential for healthy cell function Dear Dr. K: I’m a healthy woman in my 40s. Should I take extra folic acid to boost my immune system?

Dear Reader: Folic acid is, essentially, a vitamin. We all need vitamins. Indeed, the word “vitamin” was coined to refer to a substance that was essential to human life.

The natural form of folic acid, folate, occurs in some foods, including vegetables, fruits, and dried beans and peas.

Each of us is a collection of about 13 trillion cells. If our cells get sick, we get sick. If our cells get old, we get old.

Folate is essential for the production and maintenance of our cells. That’s especially true during rapid periods of

ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff growth, such as pregnancy and infancy. Folate is needed to make DNA and RNA, the genetic material that dictates how our cells function, and it helps prevent mutations to DNA that may lead to diseases, including cancer.

Our immune system cells, which are white blood cells, are always in a rapid period of growth. These cells don’t live very long, so they constantly need to be replaced.

Folate deficiency can cause anemia – inadequate produc-

tion of red blood cells. But it doesn’t weaken the immune system sufficiently to make us more vulnerable to infections, for example.

Over the past 30 years, many studies have found that people with high blood levels of a natural substance called homocysteine are at higher risk for heart disease.

One easy way to reduce homocysteine levels is by taking folic acid supplements.

Studies have not shown that taking folic acid supplements protects most people from heart disease. The exception is people born with a genetic defect that causes high homocysteine levels. I’m one of them; I take folic acid every

day.

For most healthy adults, the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) of folate is 400 micrograms (mcg) a day.

Pregnant women should take more: 600 mcg a day. The extra folate helps to reduce the risk of neural tube defects, a serious malformation of the spine, skull or brain in the baby.

Experts advise against getting more than 1,000 mcg per day of folic acid from supplements or fortified foods.

You’re unlikely to suffer any ill effects even if you exceed that limit, because your body excretes excess folic acid in the urine. Still, there might be long-term health effects

that we don’t yet know about.

On the other hand, there’s no health risk associated with getting plenty of naturally occurring folate from foods.

Get as much of your daily requirement as you can from a healthy diet. Good food sources of folate include spinach, asparagus, rice, green peas, broccoli and great northern beans. Many breads, cereals, flours, cornmeal, pastas, rice and other grains are enriched with folic acid.

If you’re not getting enough folate from foods, take a multivitamin that contains 400 mcg of folic acid.

My boyfriend could not control his temper Dr. Wallace: I’d like to comment to the girl who was constantly being beaten by her boyfriend but couldn’t break up with him because she “loved” him.

I, too, loved Ken. In fact, we were engaged to be married after high school.

He was a senior, and I was a junior. One night when we were out, we got into an argument, and he got so upset that he punched me and gave me a black eye. He cried real tears and promised he would never do it again. Well, he never kept his promise. He hit me time after time, and it continued to get worse.

Naturally, because I loved him, I forgave him and

He responds two diamonds, a transfer to hearts, then rebids two spades, natural and game-invitational but nonforcing.

Here, this gives North, the opener, a problem. He knows that his side does not have an eight-card major-suit fit. But he has an excellent 16 points with three fantastic major-suit cards. So he moves toward game with three diamonds (not three no-trump!), wondering if South might be able to convert to three no-trump with a club stopper.

Here, though, South rebids three spades to show his powerful four-card suit. And North goes for game in the 4-3 fit.

West leads the club jack.

What happens?

The best defense is three rounds of clubs. To make the contract, South must discard a diamond, eliminating one inevitable loser without reducing his trump length. If East continues with a fourth club, declarer pitches a heart, ruffs or overruffs in the dummy, unblocks the heart ace-king, draws trumps, and claims when – whew! – the hearts split 3-3.

Note that four hearts also makes because of the friendly break.
