Permits could hold up expansion Months of planning ahead for Waste Management on landfill By DAVID THOMAS dthomas@shawmedia.com CORTLAND – Waste Management might spend months obtaining permits to expand its landfill in Cortland Township, after one legal battle against it ended and a smaller one continues. Both Waste Management officials and those who oppose the proposal are planning their next moves after
the Illinois Supreme Court decided Tuesday against hearing an appeal from the group Stop the Mega-Dump. The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency has to approve a construction permit for the landfill expansion, as well as a permit for the landfill to receive garbage, said Waste Management spokesman William Plunkett. “It’s a very rigorous process in which the agency examines the engi-
neering, so the design itself ensures the protection of the environment,” Plunkett said. The approval of the expansion plan was upheld on appeal both by the Illinois Pollution Control Board and the state’s 2nd District Appellate Court. Opponents to the expansion said the approval process was unfair, and the DeKalb County Board’s approval was not based upon the available evidence. Waste Management is planning
to add 594 acres to its landfill located in the southwest corner of Cortland Township. The expansion would allow the landfill to accept up to 2,000 tons of trash a day. With the Illinois Supreme Court declining to hear the case, Waste Management and DeKalb County officials believe the last legal hurdle has been cleared. But they did not know when the permits could be approved by the state.
“At this point, we do not know. It could take longer than a year,” Plunkett said. “It depends on the resources of the agency.” Frankie Benson, who lives one mile away from the landfill, has formed the Cortland Township Electors’ Association, a not-for-profit corporation dedicated to fighting the landfill expansion.

vegetables for children to choose from at lunch. Sycamore’s after-school program promotes healthy lifestyles through group lessons and exercise. Both districts use CATCH as a model in their physical education curriculum as well. “While all the districts are implementing it in different ways, the message is the same,” Sycamore Superintendent Kathy Countryman said. Cumings said the G-K program would use the DeKalb schools as a model in that it will mostly be classroom-based with possible fruit and vegetable bars and family fun nights.
SPRINGFIELD – A pension reform plan pushed by the Illinois House speaker failed miserably in the Senate on Thursday night, hours after a group of public-employee unions tried to swing support behind a labor-endorsed proposal that has Senate support. The Senate overwhelmingly rejected the House measure on a 42- On the Net 16 vote. Senate President John The bills are C u l l e r t o n t o l d SB2404 and The Associated SB1. Press he believed www.ilga.gov the legislation supported by Speaker Michael Madigan deserved a vote and, “I wish he’d do the same for me.” Madigan has not called a vote on Cullerton’s Senate-approved fix for the $97 billion pension crisis, a bill Cullerton believes would survive a court challenge while his fellow Chicago Democrat’s would not. Gov. Pat Quinn, who supports the Madigan bill, said in a statement, “The people of Illinois were let down tonight.” The vote came on the eve of the Legislature’s scheduled adjournment and on the day a study was released that finds the Cullerton bill would save the state far more money than originally thought. The study by the We Are One Illinois coalition estimates that if half of employees and retirees forgo post-career health insurance as part of Cullerton’s legislation, the state’s $52 billion debt in two health insurance programs would be cut in half. Cullerton’s plan essentially offers each beneficiary a choice: give up annual compounded cost-of-living increases to their retirement pay or access to state-subsidized health care. Unions believe it’s fairer, and Cullerton argues it has a better chance of survival than a more-restrictive one in the House that offers no such choice.

Voice your opinion
shickman@shawmedia.com GENOA – For Lisa Cumings, the best part about her job is seeing children “catch on.” Cumings, community liaison with Kishwaukee Community Hospital and coordinator of CATCH, Coordinated Approach to Child Health, said she is often approached by students who have learned about CATCH and are excited to talk about it. The number of students “catching on” to healthier choices is about to grow. Genoa-Kingston Middle School is the latest DeKalb County school to implement the national

CATCH program to promote healthier food options and active lifestyles. “I would love to see this countywide,” Cumings said. “We’re in our second year, and we’re in three school districts right now.” After receiving about $3,000 in grants from Genoa-Kingston’s education foundation and the DeKalb County Community Foundation, the middle school is the first school in
District 424 to host CATCH. It also is the first middle school in the county to implement CATCH. The program will focus on sixth-graders, Cumings said. “I’m excited to see what all it involves,” District 424 Superintendent Joe Burgess said. “It opens a lot of doors for resources for our staff.” Both the DeKalb and Sycamore school districts already have incorporated CATCH into their elementary schools. DeKalb hosts CATCH days in which Northern Illinois University students go into the classrooms and teach the children about healthy food choices. The DeKalb schools also have a bar of fresh fruits and

Planting seeds for development I write a lot about how we could improve our DeKalb and Sycamore communities. It’s part of my job as your friendly, local columnist. (Taxes, fees and restrictions may apply. Your mileage may differ.) This is a good place to live, but like many places, we’re plagued with an anemic economy. Stagnant or falling Northern Illinois University enrollments, Johnny’s Charhouse abruptly closing, other stores going out of business, commercial/industrial properties sitting vacant (sometimes for years), and the world’s most profitable restaurant chain bailing even after a huge loan offer doesn’t scream boomtown. Perhaps, until the economy really rebounds, we should consider development of a different sort. This isn’t my idea, but we should develop a large community garden, where people could lease very small pieces of land to grow their own food, and where the city and/or a consortium of interests could plant food that’s free for whoever needs it (Seattle is doing that right now with a “food forest”). Where? Several places around DeKalb or Sycamore could work, but the ideal location is that long, narrow strip of downtown DeKalb bordered by Lincoln Highway, the railroad tracks, the new National Bank & Trust Co. branch and, basically, the new DeKalb police station. Currently there’s a lot of nothing there. Why would we put a community garden in what many consider prime real estate? Several reasons, but before I get to them, you probably noticed a flaw in
THE FINE LINE Jason Akst my plan. The flaw is that “we” don’t own the area described above. Geneva-based developer ShoDeen owns the property. The original plan was for a larger, mixed-use building next to the NB&T location, with retail on the ground and high-end apartments or condos on top. But ShoDeen’s plan seems to be in limbo. Anyway, back to why that location would be good for a community garden. It’s close to those who would be most interested in its development and upkeep: NIU students, faculty and staff, and residents of nearby lower-income neighborhoods. I could see a variety of situations in which NIU students, for instance, could help develop and sustain the garden. The area is already along bus routes, so people could easily get there. Restaurants could benefit, too. One of my favorite restaurants in Austin, Texas, grew most of its own vegetables in an outdoor garden. Community gardens have a significant, positive effect on surrounding property values. One study in New York City found that is particularly true in the poorest host neighborhoods, where property values increased over 9 percent within five years. Keeping urban land vacant is one of the worst things to do. “Neglected vacant lots in the modern urban set-
ting pose great hazards to community life. These lots, which host criminal behavior, accumulate trash, and create various health risks, epitomize the frustration and despair nearby residents often feel,” according to “Community Development Through Gardening: State And Local Policies Transforming Urban Open Space.” In 2010, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says, Americans generated about 250 million tons of trash and recycled and composted more than 85 million tons of this material (about 34 percent). However, more than half of municipal solid waste could be composted. Composting helps break down urban soil pollutants, so while we’re arguing about the landfill in DeKalb County, why don’t we work harder to reduce its burden? Gardening helps people. Therapists consistently find that gardening reduces stress, blood pressure and tension. People need food. The U.S. Agriculture Department’s of Economic Research Service estimates that about one in five U.S. households with children were food insecure in 2011. According to a 2010 study of community gardens in Cleveland, gardens perform many of the same functions as parks because as community spaces, people feel comfortable meeting and interacting in gardens. Tomato plants don’t mind the sound of freight trains.

Poll: 2 in 5 women would consider parenting solo The ASSOCIATED PRESS As Christy Everson was nearing age 40, she made a decision: She wanted to have a child, even though she was single and it meant doing it all alone. Her daughter, conceived via a sperm donor, is now 2½ years old, and Everson hopes to have a second child. “Was it worthwhile? Well, I’m thinking of doing it again, aren’t I?” she said. Everson and women like her are part of a shift in American society. An Associated Press-WE tv poll of people younger than 50 found that more than 2 in 5 unmarried women without children – or 42 percent – would consider having a child on their own without a partner, including more than a third, or 37 percent, who would consider adopting solo. The poll, which addressed a broad range of issues on America’s changing family structures, dovetails with a recent report by the U.S. Census Bureau that single motherhood is on the rise: It found that of 4.1 million women who’d given birth in 2011, 36 percent were unmarried at the time of the survey, an increase from 31 percent in 2005. And among mothers 20 to 24, the percentage was 62 percent. The AP-WE TV poll also found that few Americans think the growing variety of family arrangements is bad for society. However, many have some qualms about single mothers, with 64 percent saying single women having children without a partner is a bad thing for society. More men – 68 percent – felt that way, compared with 59 percent of women. The survey found broad gender gaps in opinion on many issues related to how and when to have children. One example: At a time when the can-youhave-it-all debate rages for working mothers, women were more apt than men to say having children has negatively impacted their career. And this was true especially among mothers who waited until age 30 or older to have children. Fully 47 percent of those mothers said having a child had a negative impact on their careers. Of women overall, 32 percent of mothers reported a negative effect, compared with 10 percent of men.

Joyce Chen hugs her daughter Kathryn, 10, on Wednesday in San Francisco. A new poll finds that one in five unmarried women would consider having a child on their own, and more than a third would consider adopting solo, just one indication of America’s changing family structures. For Everson, who lives in a suburb of Minneapolis and is now 44, being the only parent means daily responsibilities that naturally suck up some of the time she used to spend on her career as a financial consultant. “To be honest about it, it’s hard to be a rock star” when parenting a baby, she said. But she sees it as more of a temporary career setback, and feels she’s already getting back on track with her toddler now over age 2. Soon, she says, “I’ll be getting back on my A-game.” For Joyce Chen, a hospital occupational therapist in San Francisco, it’s a question of what kind of career she wants to have. Chen, 41 and also a single mother, is happy to have work that she not only enjoys, but that she can balance easily with caring for her 10-year-old daughter. “I’ve been blessed,” she says. “I have a decent income. I don’t feel like I need to climb the ladder. I enjoy what I do, but I can leave it at the end of the day and not think about it.” Chen also credits a strong community of friends from church for helping make her family work. “That community has helped me raise my daughter,” she says. She hopes to get married one
day if the right situation comes along. But Chen feels that a single mom can do just as good a job of raising a child as two parents can. Overall, the poll found decidedly mixed results on that question: Thirty percent of respondents said yes, 27 percent said no, and 43 percent said “it depends.” At 26, Jacqueline Encinias is at a much less established point in her career. A married mother of a month-old baby in Albuquerque, N.M., she aims to go back to school to study accounting. For now, though, she says she’s “just looking for something to get me by.” Encinias says that she would probably not have made the choice to be a mother alone. “I wouldn’t want my child to grow up with just one parent,” she said. “If other people want to do it, it’s OK, but it’s not for me.” Support of a partner is crucial to her, she said. Finding the right person to parent with was a key factor in the decision to have a child, the poll found, cited by both current parents and non-parents. Shermeka Austin, a 23-year-old student in Warren, Mich., feels the same way. “That would not be a choice for me, being a single parent,” Austin said.

8NATION BRIEF Obama’s likely pick to head FBI widely praised WASHINGTON – Republicans said Thursday they see no major obstacles to Senate confirmation of James Comey, the former deputy attorney general in the Bush administration who is expected to be nominated by President Barack Obama as the next FBI director. Comey, who would replace Robert Mueller as head of the national security organization, is certain to face tough questions about his work as a counsel for a major hedge fund and his ties to Wall Street as well as how he would handle current, high-profile FBI investigations. But Republicans and Democrats said the former prosecutor’s strong credentials and sterling reputation suggest his path to confirmation should be relatively smooth.

Local Toys for Tots program in danger DeKalb County Marines need to find a volunteer coordinator by end of June By DAVID THOMAS dthomas@shawmedia.com DeKALB – If the DeKalb County Marines cannot find a volunteer coordinator, the Toys for Tots program will probably be discontinued for this year. The organization is hoping to have a coordinator in place by the end of June, said Stefan Kristen, the group’s treasurer. Kristen said he was unable to find the time
this year to lead the organization. “You invest a lot of yourself in it, because you want these kids to have toys for Christmas,” Kristen said. “You agonize over it.” Toys for Tots is a charitable toy drive the group has organized for the past 16 years. The toys the organization collects from individuals, businesses and other nonprofit organizations go to
2,500 to 3,000 children in the county. Kristen described the position as being demanding on a person’s time and energy. While the DeKalb County Marines, formally known as Marine Corps League Detachment 847, can provide a lot of institutional support, they need a coordinator. Kristen said the coordinator is a volunteer who will be the liaison for all of the groups and individuals Toys

A scale model of a proposed life-size Wally Thurow, or Mr. Pumpkin, statue is seen in front of the DeKalb County Courthouse on Sept. 20 in Sycamore.
To donate Contact: MrPumpkinStatue@ gmail.com or DeKalb County Community Foundation, 475 DeKalb Ave., Sycamore, IL 60178, or call 815-748-5383 ideal. “It’s on the parade route so Wally will always be watching the parade,” he said. Sycamore visitors and residents will be able to take photos with the statue while learning about Thurow’s history in the city. Thurow first began the Pumpkin Festival as a way for children and families to come together and enjoy themselves. The fall event includes a carnival, a house walk and
a display of pumpkins. It concludes with a parade downtown. “If you talk to people and say you’re from Sycamore, they’ll say ‘Oh, the Pumpkin Festival,’ ” Kuhn said. The Wally Thurow Tribute Committee is seeking donations for the statue. Kuhn said they have already received a great amount of support from the community, raising about a quarter of their goal. “We appreciate all donations, big or small,” Malmassari said. “It takes a lot of money to get to this particular goal.” Tax-deductable donations can be made to the Wally Thurow Tribute Committee through the DeKalb County Community Foundation, 475 DeKalb Ave., Sycamore, IL 60178.
Officials would tackle legal challenges • LANDFILL
Continued from page A1 Through her group, Benson and others are planning to use a section of the Illinois Township Code that says townships can prevent the deposit of garbage within township limits, including at garbage disposal facilities. Benson said the law gives the township veto power over the Illinois EPA, which regulates landfills. Cortland Township board members passed a resolution opposing the landfill expansion in 2010. “It’s a lawsuit in a way, but it’s asking the court for an interpretation of the township code,” Benson said. “To us, it obviously says that we have the right to refuse garbage. It’s plain English right there, even a higher power than the IEPA has. I guess what comes into play is, how well did we follow the township code when we made a motion to refuse the landfill.” Benson said she has already raised $20,000, and has set a deadline of June 21, when the group will determine its plan of action. Both Plunkett and DeKalb County Administrator Gary Hanson said they would address any legal challenge as they appear. “We don’t anticipate any further legal hurdles. If there are, we will deal with them as they arise,” Hanson said. The expanded landfill would be able to accept trash from as many as 17 other

Kristen said. “It’s a big job.” Because they haven’t named a coordinator yet, the toy drive will not be receiving donated toys from their national organization this year, Kristen said. Kristen said potential candidates for the position must have good moral character, be able to pass a background check and be able to attend a three-day training conference in Washington, D.C. The volunteer is not re-
sponsible for the cost of the trip. If the organization cannot find anyone by June, they will try again next year, Kristen said. “I hope we can make it work,” Kristen said. “If not this year, hopefully we can bring it next year.” Individuals who are interested in the position should contact Kristen at 815-7622903 or at mcl847dekalb@aol. com.

The Wally Thurow Tribute Committee continues to raise funds to erect a bronze statue of Mr. Pumpkin, who died in 2012. Thurow was Wally Thurow the founder of Sycamore’s annual Pumpkin Festival, which has been a city staple since 1962. “He was good for [Sycamore] and we’re just trying to repay him for all that we feel we owe him, for what he’s done for us over the years,” said Ed Kuhn, a friend of Thurow and member of the tribute committee. The committee needs to raise about $75,000 to build the statue of Thurow, which would feature him in his signature top hat and Lions Club vest sitting on his high-wheel bicycle.

Continued from page A1 DeKalb Superintendent Jim Briscoe said CATCH is thriving in all eight elementary schools because of the collaborative effort of the staff, students and parents. “Everybody is working together and making sure this is something we’re all going to promote and encourage,” he said. Countryman said many students at the five Sycamore elementary schools are excited every time they engage in a CATCH activity. “I think it works well be-
cause we’re able to implement it during the after-school program, so the kids view it as fun and a piece of their day,” she said. “What we’ve seen a little bit is they’re starting to spread the word, too.” Spreading the word is something Burgess said he hopes will lead to more CATCH opportunities within District 424. But he is glad to be a part of a pilot program at the middle school level. “We do hope it expands,” he said. “The middle school is a really good age to hit because obviously the middle schoolers go through a lot of changes.” Healthier lifestyles lead
to happier students who are eager to come to school and learn every day, Burgess said. Cumings said implementing the program at a more mature age will be a challenge, but she’s looking forward to it. “Middle school is different,” she said. “We can’t do the exact same things we do in an elementary school. We’ve got to be strategic in that.” Briscoe said he is a strong advocate for CATCH and the overall movement toward a healthier, more appealing community. “I think it’s such a critical part of what we need to do to educate students,” he said.

McDonald’s CEO Don Thompson speaks during an interview in June 2010 in Sandton, Johannesburg, South Africa. Thompson revealed at an analyst conference during the last week of May that he shed about 20 pounds in the past year by working out again, but still eats McDonald’s every day.
Eating fast food, losing weight? Company CEO says he lost 20 pounds by being more active By CANDICE CHOI The Associated Press NEW YORK – They might start calling it the McDiet. McDonald Corp.’s CEO Don Thompson revealed at an analyst conference this week that he shed about 20 pounds in the past year by getting his “butt up” and “working out again.” But he said he hasn’t changed his habit of eating at McDonald’s “every, single day.” Thompson, who has been on the job for less than a year, was responding to a question about how the world’s biggest
hamburger chain is adapting amid growing concerns about obesity. Thompson said that he lost the weight by getting active again. He noted that Europeans walk a lot and that it’s rare to see Europeans that are “very, very heavy.” “And so I think that balance is really important to people,” he said. Thompson did not provide any other details about his weight or diet. A representative for McDonald’s did not immediately respond to a request for more details. The remarks come as fast-
food chains and packaged food companies face criticism about making products that fuel obesity rates. Coca-Cola Co., for example, recently started a campaign seeking to highlight its healthier, low-calorie drinks as well as the importance of physical activity in a balanced lifestyle. For its part, McDonald’s in recent years has boosted its marketing to highlight healthier menu options, including salads, chicken wraps and egg white breakfast sandwiches. At the Sanford Bernstein conference Wednesday, Thompson noted that cus-
tomers have many options at McDonald’s, which has more than 34,000 locations worldwide. For example, he said someone might get a Big Mac one day and a grilled chicken salad with balsamic vinaigrette another day. Earlier in the talk, however, Thompson also said that salads make up just 2 percent to 3 percent of sales. He said there were other ways the company, which is based in Oak Brook, could incorporate fruits and vegetables into its menu, pointing to the chicken wraps it recently introduced.
Senate OKs parts of new Illinois budget • PENSION Continued from page A1 Advocates hoped the study would be a game-changer, arguing that by answering the cost question it eliminates the biggest apparent pitfall to Cullerton’s plan. But with just a day left before adjournment, the House sponsor wasn’t conceding anything in a fierce debate over how to solve the worst-in-the-nation pension crisis. Northbrook Democratic Rep. Elaine Nekritz acknowledged the new savings discovery but said long-term cost reductions of her plan, favored Madigan, far outpaced the Cullerton measure and that it “provides certainty, predictability and a sufficient solution.” The report came on a day when both chambers inched forward on the issue’s edges. The House prepared legislation to impose Madigan’s socalled “cost shift” of partial
employer pension payments to community colleges and universities. The state pays them now. Based on an analysis commissioned by the Senate, Nekritz and her colleagues estimated last week that the $97 billion pension liability would drop by $30 billion under the House plan, and less than $6 billion under Cullerton’s proposal. Earlier this week, new numbers showed the Madigan savings at $21 billion. The Cullerton camp now says their measure saves more because they are adding $6 billion to a $26 billion cost reduction in health care That’s based on the assumptions that Nekritz made of the Senate proposal: That half of state government workers and retirees would choose to give up health coverage. Steve Kreisberg, health policy director for the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees in Washington, D.C., conduct-
ed the We Are One coalition’s analysis. He acknowledged that health care coverage, according to an Illinois court ruling that’s been appealed to the state Supreme Court, doesn’t enjoy the same protected status as pensions. “There’s also a moral obligation as well,” Kreisberg said. “If people work their careers under a certain set of understandings and circumstances, they’re going to make a claim that this is deferred compensation and you owe it to me.” We Are One also pointed out Thursday a warning flag by the Teachers Retirement System about the House legislation. It noted that benefits would be cut so much that public schoolteachers would qualify for Social Security in 2020 – and, with their employers, owe federal taxes associated with it, costing school districts and possibly univer-
sities billions of dollars. Nekritz spent Thursday preparing a separate piece of the pension puzzle – ending what Madigan calls the “free lunch,” but so far, only for community colleges and universities, not elementary and secondary school districts. The House was debating the plan Thursday evening to require higher educational institutions, which have agreed to a phased-in program, to pay half of 1 percent of payroll costs toward pensions annually beginning next year until all costs are shifted from the state. Republicans fear it will result in higher local property taxes. The Senate approved parts of a new state budget and sent them to Quinn on Thursday. The $35.4 billion general-revenue spending plan avoids spending cuts to education for the first time in at least four years.

New York teen wins spelling bee The ASSOCIATED PRESS
AP photo
Zubeidat Tsarnaeva, mother of the two Boston bombing suspects, shows videos Thursday on an iPad she says show her sons could not have been involved in last month’s Boston Marathon bombings in Makhachkala, regional capital of Dagestan, Russia. Authorities accuse Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who was slain in a shootout with police, and his younger brother Dzhokhar of organizing the attacks, which killed three.
Boston bombing suspect is walking, mother says The ASSOCIATED PRESS MAKHACHKALA, Russia – The remaining suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings has recovered enough to walk and assured his parents in a phone conversation that he and his slain brother were innocent, their mother told The Associated Press on Thursday. Meanwhile, the father of a Chechen immigrant killed in Florida while being interrogated by the FBI about his ties to the slain brother maintained that the U.S. agents killed his son “execution-style.” Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, walked without a wheelchair to speak to his mother last week for the first and only phone conversation they have had since he has been in custody, Zubeidat Tsarnaeva told the AP. In a rare glimpse at Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s state of mind, he told her he was getting better and that he had a very good doctor, but was struggling to understand what happened, she said. “He didn’t hold back his emotions either, as if he were screaming to the whole world: ‘What is this? What’s happening?’ ” she said.
The April 15 bombings killed three people and wounded more than 260. Elder brother, 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was killed in a shootout with police, and Dzhokhar remains in a prison hospital after being badly wounded. “I could just feel that he was being driven crazy by the unfairness that happened to us, that they killed our innocent Tamerlan,” their mother said, standing by the family’s insistence that their children are innocent. The Tsarnaevs met the AP in their new apartment in a 14-story building in a well-todo area of Makhachkala, the capital of the restive Caucasus province of Dagestan. The apartment had no furniture apart from a TV, a few rugs, and wallpaper materials lying on the floor. Anzor Tsarnaev, the suspects’ father, said they bought it for Tamerlan, his wife, and their young daughter in the expectation that they would move to Makhachkala later this year. He added that they planned to turn their old home in a dingy district on the outskirts of town into a dentist’s office, so that Dzhokhar, a dental hygiene student, could work out of it after completing his studies.
8BRIEFS Ex president of Mexico praises pot businessmen SEATTLE – Two Washington state businessmen who say they’re trying to create the first national brand of marijuana are getting some heartfelt support from the former president of Mexico, Vicente Fox. Fox appeared at a news conference Thursday in Seattle, where he recounted how the war on drugs has ravaged his country and praised the states of Washington and Colorado for voting to legalize the recreational use of marijuana last fall. At the news conference, former Microsoft manager Jamen Shively discussed his plans to launch a new marijuana brand named for his great-great grandfather, Diego Pellicer. He says his company is joining forces with a Washington state chain of medical marijuana dispensaries
run by John Davis as well as dispensaries in Colorado and California.
OXON HILL, Md. – Arvind Mahankali has conquered his nemesis, the German language, to win the Scripps National Spelling Bee on Thursday night, winning at last after third-place finishes in 2011 and 2012. The 13-year-old from Bayside Hills, N.Y., correctly spelled “knaidel,” a small mass of leavened dough, to win the 86th version of the competition. The bee tested brain power, composure and, for the first time, knowledge of vocabulary. Arvind will take home $30,000 in cash and prizes along with a huge, cupshaped trophy. He finished third in 2011
duous week of competition that began with curiosity and angst over a new vocabulary test but finished in a familiar way in Thursday’s final, with bright kids spelling difficult words under the bright lights of prime-time TV. Over the course of more than two hours, the final inched toward a conclusion with 11 finalists being eliminated one by one. The 11 were the last survivors from a field of 281 contenders who arrived to compete for the title of champion speller of the English language. Fourteen-year-old Grace Remmer of St. Augustine, Fla., got the final round launched by spelling “greffier,” which means an official
and 2012, eliminated both times on German-derived words. This year, he got two German words in the finals and nailed them both, including the winning word. The eleven finalists advanced from a field of 281 contenders based on a combination of a performance onstage and their performance on a computerized spelling and vocabulary test. Runner-up was 13-yearold Pranav Shivashankar of Olathe, Kan., who stumbled and was eliminated on the word “cyanophycean,” a bluegreen alga. Sriram Hathwar, of Painted Post, N.Y., finished third and Amber Born, 14, of Marblehead, Mass., finished fourth. The finish capped an ar-
recorder or keeper of records. But she later stumbled while attempting to spell “melocoton,” a word meaning a peach grafted on a quince root stalk. “Thank you, everyone,” she said, leaving the stage to a standing ovation. Finalists included several spelling bee veterans, but as the night wore on they were down to four contestants after more than two hours of competition. The win by Arvind continued the recent tradition of Indian-American winners. There have been five in a row and 10 of 14, a run that began in 1999 when Nupur Lala captured the title in 1999 and was later featured in the documentary “Spellbound.”

Police: Notes to Obama, mayor had gun threats WASHINGTON – A suspicious letter mailed to the White House was similar to two threatening, poison-laced letters on the gun law debate sent to New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, one of the nation’s most potent gun-control advocates, officials said Thursday. The Secret Service said the letter was addressed to President Barack Obama and was intercepted by a White House mail screening facility. Two similar letters postmarked in Louisiana and sent to Bloomberg in New York and his gun control group in Washington contained traces of the deadly poison ricin.

Public pools need work
Another guilt trip for working moms How many times a year do I do this? I’ve lost count. Bright and early, I march to the second-floor closet and vow that this is the day I will cull the boxes of family memories piled to the ceiling. I yank the door open and sigh with disgust: What a mess. I pull out a box, sit on the bed and push up my sleeves. A half-hour later, I’m up to my elbows in my kids’ childhoods. Resolve evaporated. Tears guaranteed by noon. “Next month,” I say, and I shut the door. Earlier this week, I tried yet again. This time, I got as far as the bottom of the pretty cloth-covered box, where a pile of yellow and white sticky notes were holding on to one another as if for survival. Slowly, I peeled and started reading the two dozen notes my 7-year-old daughter left for me around the house in 1994. Most of them read, “I love you.” But there were occasional attempts at humor, too. “Your hair looks fine,” read one that was stuck to the bathroom mirror. On her note wrapped around my deodorant: “Excusisme, but your arm pits spell good.” At the very bottom, I found the note she’d pressed on my computer screen one night before going to bed: “You write to much.” Translation: You work too much. I was a single mother at the time and a newspaper reporter. If I don’t work, we don’t eat. That’s what I told myself every time I felt guilty, which was pretty much every day. It took years for me to understand that it was OK to love what I do for a living -- and to communicate that to my daughter, too. On that night, her note was my heartache. Now I look back and feel sorry for
VIEWS Connie Schultz both of us, the daughter who deserved more and the mother who was afraid of losing everything. Voltaire said God is a comedian playing to an audience too afraid to laugh. I’d add, if you don’t laugh at the first joke, God tries again. The morning after I unearthed that pile of my daughter’s notes, I woke up to an NPR report about the latest Pew Research Center study on working women. Something about how more mothers are primary providers and the public is “conflicted” about this. Real knee-slapper, that one. Few things get my adrenaline pumping faster than this notion of working mothers and their disapproving public. I looked up the Pew report, which is titled “Breadwinner Moms” and has this subhead: “Mothers Are the Sole or Primary Provider in Four-in-Ten Households with Children; Public Conflicted about the Growing Trend.” Like most Pew studies, it’s rich with data: • A record 40 percent – up from 11 percent in the 1960s – of households with children younger than 18 include mothers who are “either the sole or primary source of income for the family.” • These mothers split into “two very different groups: 5.1 million (37 percent) are married mothers who have a higher income than their husbands, and 8.6 million (63 percent) are single mothers.” • Women make up 47 percent of the
U.S. labor force today; married mothers’ employment rate has increased from 37 percent in 1968 to 65 percent in 2011. Many news organizations also noted this tidbit: “About half (51 percent) of survey respondents say that children are better off if a mother is home and doesn’t hold a job, while just 8 percent say the same about a father.” I don’t fault anyone for reporting that part of the study. I do wonder why Pew feels the need to keep asking how many people approve of women who exhaust themselves by raising and financing their families, but hey, it got me out of bed. This time, I want to assure all you hardworking mothers out there that this latest round of mom-shaming will be over soon. Until the next round. If I could give you anything, it would be my hindsight. We get only so much energy each day, and any minute you spend on guilt over what you do to support your family is a wasted investment. You’re doing the best you can, and your children are better for it. As for that 7-year-old daughter of mine who once wrote, “You write to much”: She’s 26 now, out on her own and doing her part to save the world. I know exactly what she’ll do if ever I show her that long-ago note. First, she’ll correct her spelling. Then she’ll say what she’s told me countless times before: “Keep writing, Mom. Whatever you do, just keep writing.”

Upside of high unemployment: Longer life By PETER ORSZAG Washington Post This is a morbid column about some unexpected and encouraging news: Deep economic declines, such as the one we experienced in the United States a few years ago, probably lengthen life expectancy. A reasonable estimate is that for every percentage-point increase in the unemployment rate, the U.S. mortality rate drops by 0.3 percentage point. In other words, and although it runs counter to our intuition, recessions may be bad for our wallets but good for our health. Part of the reason is that there are fewer traffic fatalities. This makes sense because there’s typically less traffic when the economy slows down. From 2002 to 2007, the number of Americans dying in motor-vehicle accidents was roughly constant, about 42,000 a year. By 2011, that figure had dropped by almost a quarter, to 32,367 – the lowest since 1949,
when the U.S. population was half what it is now. Still, automobile accidents account for less than 2 percent of deaths each year, so the drop in these fatalities accounts for only a tiny part of why life expectancy improves during recessions. The rest of the story may be explained by evidence found in three recent studies. One of these was about Iceland, which experienced a severe recession after its banking crisis in October 2008. During the bust, Icelanders abandoned various unhealthy behaviors, according to surveys conducted by the University of Iceland, Rider University and the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in New Jersey in 2007 and 2009. Among working-age people, for example, the share who smoked fell to 19 percent, from 23 percent before the crisis. The proportion who consumed at least five alcoholic drinks in a day at least once a month declined to 17 percent, from 20
percent. The share eating fast food weekly fell to 25 percent in 2009, from 32 percent in 2007, and the figure for those practicing indoor tanning declined to 13 percent from 17 percent. Meanwhile, the proportion of people getting adequate sleep rose to 76 percent, from 72 percent. The effects of these shifts apparently outweighed any negative effects of the crisis – for example, the increasing share of Icelanders suffering from anxiety or poor mental health. A second study focused on air pollution, specifically carbon monoxide, particulate matter and ozone. Higher concentrations of carbon monoxide are connected with higher mortality rates, economists Garth Heutel of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and Christopher Ruhm of the University of Virginia found. A one-standard-deviation increase in carbon monoxide raises the mortality rate by 2 percent, they observed. As
one would expect, this effect seems to be concentrated in deaths from respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. The third study found that deaths among the elderly decline disproportionately during a recession, and that the quality of nursing-home staff may be an important reason. None of which should make us wish for economic trouble. Higher unemployment means loss of productivity, lower income and mental anguish, and those are more than sufficient reasons to combat joblessness. There may be some small consolation, though, in learning that it probably doesn’t harm human health the way that we all imagined.

The park districts in both DeKalb and Sycamore see a need to repair or replace their public pools. If they were to team up and combine their resources, it seems they could do something bigger, better, and hopefully cheaper than what they might build individually. What’s needed is a location somewhere centrally located between the two cities, with room for a modern complex that not only would serve their residents, but might also attract swimmers from elsewhere. Before such a plan can get off the ground, there are questions – of fairness, finance, and practicality – that must be settled. First off: How to divide the cost. The DeKalb Park District serves a population roughly twice that of the For the record Sycamore Park District. Perhaps the most equitable It’s probably a good thing funding formula would be that there won’t be another requiring both districts to election in Illinois until pay based on their populaMarch 2014 – it will take tion, so that each person in months for the Sycamore the Sycamore and DeKalb and DeKalb park districts to districts theoretically concome up with a workable tributes the same amount. Second: Where would the plan for cooperation and sell it to the public for the money come from? Ballot initiatives to allow the gov- pool, if a referendum is indeed the way they choose ernments to borrow money to go. might be a tough sell. Voters in DeKalb roundly rejected a borrowing plan for a new pool in 2010, with more than 70 percent opposed. Economic times were different then, of course. But it can be tough to win passage of one referendum, let alone two in the same election cycle. And if voters in one district say yes while those in the other vote no, what happens then? Third: Running a jointly operated pool might require a separate commission, created by intergovernmental agreement. There also would have to be a formula created for covering operating costs – assuming that the pool won’t pay for itself – something that keeps people in DeKalb from feeling as though those from Sycamore are freeloaders, while those from Sycamore don’t feel they are subsidizing their neighbors from DeKalb. And if there were to be clashes between members of the park boards, operation of the pool could suffer. Fourth: Where would a new pool be built? Although it might seem getting ahead of things, if people in one town or another feel as though the site is not convenient for them, they might be less inclined to want to pay anything more in taxes to build it. It would have to be a location with ample room for parking – almost everyone will be driving there. No matter where a pool is located, there will probably be some people for whom it is a longer drive than they would like. It’s probably a good thing that there won’t be another election in Illinois until March 2014 – it will take months for the two districts to come up with a workable plan for cooperation and sell it to the public, if a referendum is indeed the way they choose to go. This idea seems worthy of exploring, but it will hardly be as simple as it might seem.
8 ANOTHER VIEW
All those fracking jobs When someone promises you 47,000 fracking jobs, it just sounds obscene. We say that because politicians regularly dangle the vision of the super-terrific mutant carrot that could be, as opposed to the tiny vegetable you are likely to grow. We believe that is the case with fracking. Hydraulic fracturing is coming to Illinois as a way to free oil and gas deposits that are part of the New Albany shale formation underlying much of Illinois. They don’t know how much the state could yield, but it is likely a decent reserve based on the fact that we still have oil wells pumping away in our fields near Summerfield and off the highways in central Illinois. In a state with an unemployment rate 1 percent higher than the national average, lawmakers were running around Springfield touting the brilliance of their bill that will bring 47,000 jobs to Illinois while providing the best protection in the nation for our groundwater. Don’t believe them on either count. An economist at Illinois State University made the projections about fracking jobs, and the best, busiest case was for 47,312 jobs and a $9.5 billion economic impact. His low scenario was for only 1,034 jobs. Even 1,000 jobs is a great thing, but no matter how much disclosure and regulation the current fracking bill contains, we’re dealing with a technology that relies on cracking rock to release natural resources trapped in other cracks in rocks. The risk is that at some point a crack is going to reach the water table and poison some portion of it. Don’t expect hydraulic fracturing to be a jackpot for Illinois. The better way for us and our lawmakers to view it is as a cost, and to consider how it plays into the price we’re willing to pay at the pump, through foreign entanglements and in our environment.

Critic: Wide corruption with 2014 Sochi games MOSCOW – Russian officials and businessmen have stolen billions of dollars during the years of preparations for the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, a prominent Russian opposition figure claimed Thursday. Boris Nemtsov, a former Russian deputy prime minister-turned-Kremlin critic, and an associate said in a report released Thursday that up to $30 billion was stolen in the run-up to the games in the southern Russian city. Russia had originally announced in 2007 that the 2014 games would cost about $12 billion. Within six years, that estimate went up to $51 billion, making Sochi the most expensive Olympics in history, winter or summer. In contrast, the 2012 London Summer Olympics cost $14.3 billion. Nemtsov arrived at the figure of $30 billion by comparing the initial cost estimate of the games with the final $51-billion price tag and with typical cost overruns at previous Olympics. He also compared the per-seat cost of Sochi’s Olympic stadium with stadiums at previous games. Nemtsov said the difference between the initial and final costs of Olympic games in the past 14 years was two-fold on average – in contrast to fourfold in Sochi’s case. “We account this irregularity for corruption, fraud, sloppiness and unprofessionalism,” Nemtsov said at a news conference in Moscow. – Wire report
CHICAGO – The White Sox, riding a three-game winning streak, were supposed to use their four-game series against the Cubs to make a statement. They had an opportunity to continue their dominance against their rivals to the north, a potential catalyst to send the Sox above .500 and ascend the AL Central standings. Instead, the Cubs handed the Sox three thrashings – saved from a possible fourth loss thanks to a postponed game because of rain – topped by Thursday’s 8-3 win for the North Siders at Wrigley Field. Ultimately, the Cubs (22-30) owned the Sox (24-27) during the crosstown series, outscoring them 24-6. “Anytime you have three games like this at any point, it’s
VIEWS Meghan Montemmuro discouraging,” Sox manager Robin Ventura said. “ … The way [the Cubs] are swinging it and pitching, you’re giving them a lot of opportunities to put you away, and they did.” The crosstown rivalry represented a chance for the Sox to prove they’re legitimate threats to take down the Detroit Tigers and win the AL Central. Good teams take advantage of a team, such as the Cubs, that is scuffling and clearly in rebuild mode. But starting pitcher Travis Wood and the Cubs were the ones that made the Sox seem
washed up and going nowhere. “I think that we just have to step up with a little more intensity and it starts with me,” Sox starting pitcher Jake Peavy said. “I didn’t do a very good job of that today, nor did much of anybody.” Considering how well Cubs’ starting pitchers have hit the ball, it wouldn’t be a surprise if manager Dale Sveum decided to bump them up from the No. 9 spot. Sveum downplayed the idea, but Wood continued his run of stellar pitching performances – both on the mound and at the plate. Wood’s grand slam in the fourth off Peavy gave the Cubs a 6-1 lead, and they eventually cruised to the win.

SYCAMORE – Midway through the season, Jason Cavanaugh knew the Sycamore baseball team’s offense couldn’t possibly stay as poor as it was. Entering the year, Cavanaugh envisioned an explosive offense, and when he saw his team practice, he knew that potential was still there.
Those woes are becoming a distant memory after the Spartans’ 10-0 win, in six innings over Rockford East on Thursday in the Class 3A Sycamore Sectional semifinal, which advanced the Spartans to their first sectional title game since 2004. “Something had to give,” Cavanaugh said. “When you watch us take batting practice and watch what all of our guys are able to do, it couldn’t
translate to the game. Now, you’re seeing it translate to the game. It makes baseball a lot more fun.” Sycamore’s pitching carried the team throughout the regular season, but the offense has caught up. The Spartans have scored 35 runs in three playoff games, all of which have ended early with the 10-run rule.

Brent Seabrook a Blackhawks’ hero? Maybe CHICAGO – The question seemed appropriate given the dramatic nature of the occasion. And yet, Brent Seabrook seemed like he had been caught off-guard. Seabrook’s dressing room stall had been as popular as anyone else’s Wednesday night, populated by reporters, TV and radio personalities, all asking the Blackhawks defenseman to recount how he had managed to end Game 7 of the Western Conference semifinals with an overtime goal. Patiently, Seabrook answered every question, joking by the end of his marathon media session that he had de-
VIEWS Jeff Arnold scribed the moment 50 times already. But that’s when he was asked how it felt to be the hero. Seabrook, still wearing much of his gear minus his home red sweater, paused and contemplated the inquiry. “I don’t know if I’m the hero,” Seabrook responded. In a series when the Hawks appeared down and out after falling into a 3-1 hole, every aspect of the President’s Trophy recipient’s
game came into question. Entering Wednesday night’s deciding 2-1 victory in overtime against the Detroit Red Wings, resiliency had become a common theme, speaking to the Hawks’ unwillingness to go away quietly. That brings us back to Seabrook. Earlier in the series, the 28-year-old veteran had his minutes cut and his on-ice performance critiqued and dissected. When asked about his playing time being slashed, Seabrook said he simply would rather not discuss it as a way of not deflecting attention off the team.

CUBS NOTES
SOX NOTES
Manager Sveum doesn’t want Marmol closing
Rookie Gillaspie making decision tough for Ventura
By MEGHAN MONTEMURRO mmontemurro@shawmedia.com CHICAGO – Cubs manager Dale Sveum hopes he doesn’t need to use reliever Carlos Marmol as their closer at any point the rest of the season. Asked before Wednesday’s game against the White Sox whether Marmol has a chance to become the closer after Kyuji Fujikawa’s season-ending injury and his string of good outings, Sveum said, “To be honest with you, I hope not.” “Not to take anything away from [Marmol], he’s been really good in what he’s had to do,” Sveum said. “But that obviously means [Kevin] Gregg hasn’t done a good job and he’s done a great job.” In his past nine outings, Marmol owns a 0.99 ERA with 10 strikeouts and two walks in 9 1/3 innings. Sveum isn’t looking ahead to the July 31 trade deadline either and the possible repercussions of deadline deals. “[If Gregg’s not here], then we cross those bridges when we get to them,” Sveum said. Putnam recalled: Right-hander Zach Putnam was one of the last cuts in spring training, however he didn’t get upset when the Cubs assigned him to Triple-A Iowa. His hard work at Iowa paid off with a call up before Thursday’s game when the Cubs optioned right-hander Alex Burnett to Triple-A. To create
room for Putnam on the 40-man roster, the Cubs moved reliever Kyuji Fujikawa to the 60-day disabled list. Putnam went 1-1 with four saves and a 3.26 ERA in 17 relief appearances with Iowa. “I feel like I’ve been throwing the ball pretty well in Iowa, but I didn’t know they were ready to make a move quite so soon,” Putnam said. “But, obviously, I’m thrilled and happy to come up here and possibly contribute.” Putnam didn’t have to wait long to make his debut. He faced one batter in the seventh inning of Thursday’s 8-3 win, getting Alexei Ramirez to ground out to third base. Castillo’s development: As tempting as it would be to ride the hot bat and keep catcher Dioner Navarro in the lineup, Sveum understands the importance of developing young talent. Sveum plans to keep playing catcher Welington Castillo nearly every day. Through 41 games, Castillo has 147 at-bats. In the previous three seasons, Castillo recorded 203 at-bats. Castillo went 2 for 4 in the Cubs’ win against the Sox. “[Castillo’s] becoming one of the better defensive catchers in the game as far as blocking and the ability to throw guys out,” Sveum said. “He’s got great mechanics hitting, it’s just a matter of the at-bats and that’s all coming together.”
By MEGHAN MONTEMURRO mmontemurro@shawmedia.com CHICAGO – Conor Gillaspie’s rookie season has brought unexpected playing time thanks to injuries, and so far he has taken advantage of the opportunity. Although Gillaspie went 0 for 4 in the White Sox’s 8-3 loss to the Cubs on Thursday, the 25-year-old left-handed hitter is batting .283 this season with three home runs and nine RBIs in 46 games. “At times, I still have too many at-bats that I just give away,” Gillaspie said. “Honestly, that’s how I feel about it. I’m sure when watching it doesn’t seem like it, but I can usually tell when there’s games here or there where I give away three, four at-bats. It’s kind of frustrating.” Manager Robin Ventura will have a tough decision when second baseman Gordon Beckham is activated from the disabled list in about one week. Jeff Keppinger has been starting at second during Beckham’s absence, but there is no guarantee he will move back third base where he started the season. Ventura said he plans to start the player who is playing best. As of now, Gillaspie is that player. “I don’t see [Gillaspie] missing out on a whole lot of opportunities,” Ventura said. “It’s one of those you just got a daily pick, who’s the best guy to have out there.”

De Aza’s struggles: Alejandro De Aza’s days as the Sox’s leadoff hitter could be coming to an end. De Aza is striking out in nearly 30 percent of his atbats – 56 strikeouts in 190 atbats – which is far too great to be hitting first in the lineup. Although De Aza drew two walks in Thursday’s loss to the Cubs, he has walked only 14 times this season. One potential option is moving Alexei Ramirez to the leadoff spot and hitting Beckham second. “There’s a possibility in certain situations he’s not the leadoff guy,” Ventura said of De Aza. “Does that mean he’s not a good player? No. But you try and shake things up and move guys around.” Konerko talks hockey: Sox first baseman Paul Konerko was one of about 25 players and staff who attended the Blackhawks’ Game 7 win Wednesday against the Red Wings. Konerko, along with Cubs pitcher Jeff Samardzija, participated in shoot the puck during the second intermission of Wednesday’s game. While all Game 7s are exciting, Konerko said he believes hockey’s are the best. “It just seems like guys are out there literally risking injury, guys are blocking shots,” Konerko said. “It’s as good as it gets, especially with a rivalry like that. It was heightened even more if that’s even possible.”
Wood 1st Cubs pitcher to hit grand slam at Wrigley since ‘72 • CUBS-SOX Continued from page B1 Wood became the first Cubs pitcher to hit a grand slam at Wrigley since Burt Hooton in 1972. “We take pride in our hitting, just being able to help ourselves out, just being able to handle the bat,” Wood said. “That way we’re not just a dead out.” Wood’s self-critique of his outing didn’t make the Sox hitters look good. His plan was to keep the ball down with the 24 mph winds blowing out of the ballpark, which created optimal hitting conditions for both teams. But in Wood’s opinion, “I was kind of all over the place.” Based on the Sox’s offensive performance, that would have been difficult to discern. Wood held the Sox to two runs on five hits in six innings. He also struck out six and walked two. At one point during the third through fifth innings, Wood retired eight of nine batters he faced. “I honestly didn’t do that very well the first 3 2, four innings,” Wood said. “I was pitching up and was fortunate enough that they were missing

Cubs pitchers helped their own cause against Sox pitchers, part of a month-long trend. The Cubs are the first NL team to record 19 RBIs from
their pitchers in a calendar month, according to Elias. The Detroit Tigers were the last team to tally at least 19 RBIs from their pitchers (20 RBIs in 1940). “I don’t like it, to be honest, they’re embarrassing all of us,” a smiling Anthony Rizzo said of Cubs’ pitchers success at the plate. “No, it’s great. They’re loose and they’re hav-
ing fun and they’re keeping everyone else loose.”

Seabrook credits Hawks’ teamwork over his performance • HAWKS Continued from page B1 Even throughout Wednesday night’s game, Seabrook had struggled at times before finding the puck on his stick in overtime. Hockey players talk of getting such an opportunity – Game 7, score tied and the chance to deliver the game-winning goal. Seabrook couldn’t believe how much space he had. He saw Detroit’s Niklas Kronwell in front of him and knew Knonwell had a tendency to drop to one knee to try to block an on-coming shot. To be honest, Seabrook was planning on getting off the ice as soon as he dumped the puck in on the Red Wings net. “I just wanted to get it past him and on net so I could change,” Seabrook said. “Luckily, it went in.” Not that Seabrook saw it.
Seabrook fired the puck off his stick and inadvertently off Kronwell’s skate. Everything became a blur. He claims he didn’t see the puck get past Red Wings goalie Jimmy Howard. He heard the horn sound and then the rush of his teammates coming at him. “It was a pretty exhausting game. But I think I was more tired during the celebration, from all the guys jumping and punching me in the face and dragging me down and pulling my head down,” he said. “But it’s exciting. You don’t get to do that too many times. It’ll be something I’ll remember for the rest of my life.” Seabrook was asked where the goal ranks on his all-time hockey accomplishments. Again, he paused. It had to be pretty much near the top, he admitted, saving room for the Stanley Cup championship he won with the Hawks in 2010 and the gold medal with the Canadi-
an Olympic team months later in Vancouver. The fact the goal sealed the Hawks’ historic comeback added to the equation. But so did the fact that like his teammates, Seabrook had battled through adversity to get to this point of his season. Seabrook’s teammates were asked if it seemed appropriate the defenseman had scored the series-winning goal given all he had been through. They spoke of Seabrook as the consummate professional and as a key contributor. Captain Jonathan Toews took a not-so-subtle shot at the media, saying reporters could “make up whatever story you want” but that Seabrook’s teammates knew him as a valuable contributor who was one of the Hawks’ best players over the past couple of games. Asked about his personal struggles, Seabrook said he had tried to stay even-keeled and to do whatever he could to
support his teammates while he spent time watching from the Hawks bench. Even through adversity – much like that the Hawks’ faced needing to win three straight games to advance to face the Los Angeles Kings in the Western Conference finals – Seabrook had persevered, making the most of his chance when it presented itself in overtime. So, are you the hero? “I don’t know if I’m the hero,” he said. “It’s exciting to score the goal and a lot of guys played really well tonight and and a lot of guys did a lot of good things. We won this as a team.” And to keep moving toward a Stanley Cup title, the Hawks will have to keep it that way.

BIG TEN CONFERENCE
James scores 30, Heat take Game 5
Ohio State president jabs Notre Dame, Catholics, SEC
MIAMI – There will be no win-or-else Game 6 in the Eastern Conference finals for the Miami Heat this season. LeBron James saw to that, and now the reigning champions are one victory from a third straight trip to the NBA Finals. James finished with 30 points, eight rebounds and six assists, Udonis Haslem made his last eight shots on
By ANDREW WELSH–HUGGINS The Associated Press COLUMBUS, Ohio – The president of Ohio State University said Notre Dame was never invited to join the Big Ten because the university’s priests are not good partners, joking that “those [darn] Catholics” can’t be trusted, according to a recording of a meeting he attended late last year. Gordon Gee also took shots at schools in the Southeastern Conference and the University of Louisville, according to the recording of the December meeting of the school’s Athletic Council that The Associated Press obtained under a public records request. The university called the statements inappropriate and said Gee is undergoing a “remediation plan” because of the remarks. Gee was on a long-planned family vacation and not available for comment, said Ohio State spokeswoman Gayle Saunders. He apologized in a statement released to the AP. “The comments I made were just plain wrong, and in no way do they reflect what the university stands for,” he said in the statement. “They were a poor attempt at humor and entirely inappropriate. There is no excuse for this and I am deeply sorry.” Gee, who has taken heat before for uncouth remarks, told members of the council that he negotiated with Notre Dame officials during his first term at Ohio State, which began more than two decades ago. “The fathers are holy on Sunday, and they’re holy [heck] on the rest of the week,” Gee said to laughter at the Dec. 5 meeting attended by athletic director Gene Smith, several other athletic department members, professors and students. “You just can’t trust those [darn] Catholics on a Thursday or a Friday, and so, literally, I can say that,” said Gee, a Mormon. The Big Ten had for years courted Notre Dame, but the school resisted as it sought to retain its independent status in college football. In Septem-

the way to a 16-point night, and the Heat used a dominant third quarter to turn things around and beat the Indiana Pacers 90-79 in Game 5 on Thursday. Mario Chalmers scored 12 points and Dwyane Wade added 10 for the Heat, who lead the series 3-2 and will look to close it out at Indiana on Saturday night. The Heat ousted the Pacers in six games in a second-round matchup last season.

Ohio State president E. Gordon Gee speaks during the Ohio State University spring commencement May 5 in Columbus, Ohio. Gee told a university committee in December that Notre Dame wasn’t invited to join the Big Ten because they’re not good partners while also jokingly saying that ‘those [darn] Catholics’ can’t be trusted. ber, the school announced that it would join the Atlantic Coast Conference in all sports except football but would play five football games each year against ACC teams. In the recording, Gee referred specifically to dealing with the Rev. Ned Joyce, Notre Dame’s longtime executive vice president, who died in 2004. “Father Joyce was one of those people who ran the university for many, many years,” Gee said. Gee said the Atlantic Coast Conference added Notre Dame at a time when it was feeling vulnerable. “Notre Dame wanted to have its cake and eat it, too,” Gee said, according to the recording and a copy of the meeting’s minutes. Notre Dame spokesman Dennis Brown called the remarks regrettable, especially the reference to Joyce, “who served Notre Dame and collegiate athletics so well and for so long.” Gee contacted Notre Dame’s president, the Rev. John Jenkins, to offer an apology that was accepted, Brown said Thursday in an email, declining to say when the apology was made. Notre Dame has a storied collegiate football history and is perhaps the nation’s
pre-eminent Roman Catholic university. Ohio State, with about 56,000 students on its main campus, is among the country’s biggest universities, and it has its own long football tradition. A message was left with Smith, the Ohio State athletic director who attended the December meeting, and who is also a 1977 Notre Dame graduate. NCAA President Mark Emmert declined to comment, saying he hadn’t heard the remarks. Ohio State’s Athletic Council meets monthly during the fall, winter and spring and makes recommendations on athletic policy including ticket prices. December’s meeting was at Ohio Stadium. Gee was introduced by Athletic Council then-chairman Charlie Wilson, and Gee’s name and introduction are included in written minutes of the meeting. His comments drew laughter, at times loud, occasionally nervous, but no rebukes, according to the audio. Ohio State trustees learned of Gee’s “offensive statements” in January, met with the president at length and created the remediation plan for Gee to “address his behavior,” board president Robert Schottenstein said in a statement.

Mitchell Jordan makes a play Thursday in the fifth inning of the Class 3A Sycamore Sectional semifinals against Rockford East. The Spartans shutout the E-Rabs 10-0 in six innings.

Spartans break out of slump in postseason Continued from page B1 Mitchell Jordan is one of several Spartans to break out of a slump during the postseason, and he said confidence during that frustrating spell was huge. “There’s always another at-bat in baseball,” Jordan said. “It’s frustrating, but as long as you’ve got one part of your game working, like your defense, if that’s working, then the offense will come.” The Spartans (25-11) started early Sunday, with Nate Haacker, Brett Weaver, Mitchell Jordan and Scott Nelson all driving in runs in the first inning to give Sycamore a 5-0 lead. The Spartans drove the E-Rabs’ (17-9) starting pitcher out of the game
after recording just one out. Nelson was dominant on the mound, as he’s been all season, pitching six shutout innings and allowing just one hit through the first four innings. “Scott was Scott on the mound,” Cavanaugh said. “What a compliment that you go out and pitch like yourself. It’s just another shutout for him. Then we backed it up with the bats.” Alex Keller added another run in the fourth when he drove in Nelson. Jordan, Nelson, and John Beaudoin had RBIs to make the score 9-0 in the fifth before Weaver ended the game by driving in Keller in the sixth. “Early in the season, we weren’t scoring very much, and that’s tight on the pitcher because you know you have
to hold them,” Nelson said. “Our hitting is really giving our pitchers some relaxing moments out there on the mound.” The Spartans can win their first sectional title in program history with a victory over Wheaton St. Francis on Saturday, but Jordan was looking a little further ahead. He’s seen Kaneland and DeKalb play in the state championship game during his high school career, and he thinks the Spartans can do the same. “It’s big for the program,” Jordan said. “We’ve been working hard and have come close, with Kaneland winning two years ago, and the year before that, DeKalb was in the final game. We know we can get there.”

PENN STATE SEX ABUSE SCANDAL
Lawyer: NCAA actions affected entire Penn State community By GENARO C. ARMAS The Associated Press

Charl Schwartzel tees off the fourth hole during the first round of the Memorial tournament on Thursday in Dublin, Ohio.
GOLF: MEMORIAL TOURNAMENT
Schwartzel takes lead at Memorial tournament By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press DUBLIN, Ohio – Charl Schwartzel made sure one hole didn’t ruin an entire round Thursday in the Memorial. Schwartzel hit the ball so consistently well at Muirfield Village that the former Masters champion twice had stretches of four straight birdies. And when he made a double bogey with an 8-iron in hand and his ball on a tee toward the end of the round, he got rid of that bad taste with one last birdie for a 7-under-par 65. Schwartzel had a one-shot lead over Scott Piercy, who went from smashing it to playing it safe, and he was six shots clear of five-time winner Tiger Woods. Woods hit the ball well enough to be much closer, although he missed too many birdie chances and didn’t make up any ground on the par 5s.
“That’s probably the highest score I could have shot,” Woods said after his 1-under 71. Woods was one shot worse than 53-year-old Fred Couples, the Presidents Cup captain at Muirfield Village this fall, and one shot better than 14-year-old Guan Tianlang, who has played more PGA Tour events than Woods over the past two months. Rory McIlroy, meanwhile, might be headed for another short week at the tournament Jack Nicklaus built. After opening with a birdie, McIlroy didn’t putt nearly well enough to atone for some loose shots. McIlroy four-putted the par-3 12th for a double bogey, had a three-putt bogey on No. 7 and ended his round by missing a 4-foot birdie putt. That gave him a 78 “I don’t really have many explanations for this,” McIlroy said. Schwartzel played in the
morning, when the slick greens were still smooth, and he made 10 birdies in his round. Most of them were in the 10-foot range, although he picked up a bonus with a 25-foot putt down a slight ridge on the 16th. As well as he played, he thought a great round might turn into just a good one with one swing. His 8-iron on the par-3 eighth hole drifted right and caught the downward slope of a bunker. The South African tried to put a little more spin on the difficult shot and wound up sending it over the green. He chipped past the hole to about 8 feet and missed that to take double bogey. What saved him was a 12-foot birdie putt down the hill on his final hole, allowing him to leave the course with a smile. That’s not to suggest that if he had made par on the last hole he would have been ready to retire from the game.
BELLEFONTE, Pa. – From former players to faculty members, a small cross section of the Penn State community has partnered with the late head coach Joe Paterno’s family in suing the NCAA to overturn the landmark sanctions against the school for the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal. While the Paternos are the headliners among the plaintiffs in the civil suit filed Thursday in Centre County court, 19 others with ties to Penn State are also seeking a jury trial to reverse what they call the NCAA’s swift and unlawful punishment of the storied football program. Paul Kelly, an attorney representing trustees, faculty, and former players and coaches, said the action related to the impact on “the entire Penn State community.” “I would say the overwhelming majority of the complaints and the facts really relate to ... due process, and the fairness and actions of the NCAA,” Kelly said in a phone interview. “It’s much broader than [the Paterno family’s claims] and I hope people realize that.” Therefore, Kelly said, his clients had no other choice but to turn to the courts “since the NCAA acted in an area in which it had no authority, failed to follow its own rules, forcibly imposed an onerous result on innocent parties” and refused to recognize appeal efforts. In Irving, Texas, NCAA president Mark Emmert – named as a defendant in the lawsuit – said he had not reviewed the filing and declined comment Thursday on individual cases. He spoke to reporters after addressing Big 12 Conference presidents and

Penn State coach Joe Paterno smiles as he walks the field before a game against Minnesota Oct. 17, 2009 in State College, Pa. The family of the late coach will be joined by former players and others connected to Penn State in a lawsuit that seeks to overturn the NCAA’s strict sanctions against the football program for the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal. athletic directors during their spring meeting. “We have a number of lawsuits out there around a number of cases. ... I’m perfectly fine to have an opportunity for us to state our case and have it heard in a court of law, then we’ll let a legal system do its work,” he said. “Again, I’m always happy for the NCAA and for college athletics to make its case, because I think it’s got a pretty powerful case for what it is and what it does.” The 40-page filing culminated months of rumors about whether the Paterno family and others would enter the already complex web of litigation over the sanctions. Most notably, Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett has filed a federal antitrust lawsuit against the NCAA. Penn State itself is not a party in the latest suit. The university Wednesday said it remained committed to fully complying with the sanctions levied in July, including a four-year bowl ban, steep scholarship cuts and a $60
million fine. The Associated Press left messages Thursday for a spokesman for former FBI director Louis Freeh. His scathing report for the university on the scandal concluded that Paterno and three school officials conspired to conceal allegations against Sandusky, a retired defensive coordinator. Those conclusions have been strongly denied by Paterno’s family and the officials. The lawsuit blasts Freeh’s report as an “unreliable rush to injustice,” and that the NCAA improperly relied on the findings instead of conducting its own investigation. Acting with uncharacteristic speed, the NCAA delivered its punishment less than two weeks after Freeh’s findings were issued. “The road may be long and the fight will be tough, but in the end, we will do right for Penn State,” the trustees, faculty members, and ex-coaches and players in the case wrote in a letter Thursday to other former players explaining the action.

Spiritual

Sandwich church, community pulling together after fire By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com
S
uffering and trials do not define people for Father Andrew Hougan. Instead, it is their response to those matters that defines them, he said. Hougan presides over Saint Paul the Apostle Catholic Church at 340 W. Arnold Road in Sandwich. On May 20, the exterior of the church started on fire. No one was hurt but the church sustained damage that is still in need of repair. In response to the fire, the church and Sandwich community has pulled together to help the church any way they can, Hougan said. “We’re recovering spiritually and physically,” Hougan said. Hougan said support for the church’s recovery has come from parishioners, city officials, state and federal officials and the Diocese of Rockford. The building is a visible sign of the Catholic faith and it lives within people’s hearts and spirits, he said. “The church building itself is near and dear to people’s hearts because it is a symbol of a greater reality,” Hougan said. “So they are coming forward to say ‘I am a part of that greater reality.’” He said it’s been humbling and overwhelming to have the larger community in Sandwich offer their assistance with needs such as food or physical labor to remove the debris. The church has a good relationship with Sandwich Mayor Rick Olson and Fire Chief Reed Johnson, he said. Marilyn Ellerby, business manager for the church, said the support has been great as well. She counted the young families, contractors and church staff as helpful with the recovery. When the fire happened, Ellerby said she was devastated, but thankful the fire did not completely ruin the

Hougan said a structural analysis of the church will be done, as well as debris removal to help restore the church. Items of financial, spiritual and sentimental value will be salvaged as well. The church also is working with an insurance company to complete the necessary steps for restoration. For now, Masses are held at Kane Hall in the Parish Center next to
the church. The room was used for services when the church underwent remodeling in 2011. Daily Masses resumed this week, Hougan said. Even though the church had a heat, smoke and fire detection system, it was only for the interior. The fire that happened on May 20 was outside of the church. Authorities said the origin of the fire was near landscaping mulch outside. Hougan said mulch and any other combustible material will not be put around the church’s exterior in the future. He said they may install a rock garden instead. Fire inspectors from state and fed-
eral agencies investigated the fire and determined it was accidental. When a fire is deemed accidental, inspectors do not expend resources to find the source. He said the cause of the fire is still not known. “At this point, it’s speculation,” Hougan said. Ellerby commended Hougan for his spiritual and executive direction during the church’s recovery. Hougan said he’s been getting through this time personally with his faith, prayers from the larger community and the parishioner team assembled for the recovery.

Youth at First United Methodist Church of DeKalb are preparing for a rummage sale fundraiser this weekend. Pictured are Gabrielle Melms, Aspen Hodgen, Jacob Lynch, Shaelyn West, Jacob Trapp, Ben Melms, Troy West, Kenny Perry, Bailey Lynch, Jasmine Anderson, Holly Trapp, Gina Edwards, youth leaders Mike and Jan Marquardt and Sabastein Chaney.
Sale to fund youth mission trip When people think of mission trips, they often think of faraway places such as Haiti or Ghana. There is need for mission work much closer to home. This year, the youth of First United Methodist Church of DeKalb will travel to Detroit to work on economic disaster recovery work. In addition to work projects, the
youth will have many opportunities to develop their faith. They also will get to see a little of Motown. To fund their trip and other activities, the youth are holding a rummage sale from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. today and Saturday at the church at the corner of Fourth and Oak streets. The sale consists of donations from many congregation members and
neighbors. Items include large and small furniture, kitchen wares, lots of clothes and books and, of course, many surprise items. The sale is in the education wing at the north end of the church located at 321 Oak St., DeKalb. For more information, calling the church at 815-756-6301 or visit www. firstumc.net.
8RELIGION BRIEFS Trial opens in suit against Cincinnati Archdiocese firing of pregnant teacher CINCINNATI (AP) – A Roman Catholic archdiocese and two of its schools violated the civil rights of a teacher who was fired after she became pregnant through artificial insemination, her attorney told jurors Tuesday. Christa Dias was terminated simply for being pregnant and unmarried, and it’s illegal to fire an employee for being pregnant, her attorney Robert Klingler told federal jurors during opening statements of the trial over Dias’ lawsuit against the Archdiocese of Cincinnati and the schools. Dias, who is not Catholic, did not know that artificial insemination would be considered a violation of her contract and Catholic doctrine, he said. But Steven Goodin, representing the archdiocese and the schools, said there was no discrimination. He says Dias was fired “for intentionally violating a contract.” Goodin pointed out to jurors a clause in the employment contract saying employees must “comply with and act consistently in accordance with the stated philosophy and teachings” of the Catholic church and the schools’ policies and directives.
St. Louis priest announces he’s gay in book first published anonymously ST. LOUIS (AP) – A Roman Catholic priest in St. Louis has written a book about his life as a gay priest, a move that could risk his priesthood. The Rev. Gary Meier, 49, took a leave of absence last year as pastor at Saints Teresa and Bridget Church in north St. Louis. His book, “Hidden Voices: Reflections of a Gay, Catholic Priest,” was published anonymously in 2011. But Meier republished it earlier this month with his name on the cover, The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported. “I have tried over the years to reconcile my silence as a gay priest with that of the Church’s increasingly anti-gay stance. I have been unsuccessful,” Meier writes in the book. “I was hopeful that I could find a way to have integrity while remaining part of a hierarchy that is anti-gay – I was unsuccessful.” The Rev. James Martin, a Jesuit priest and editor-at-large at America magazine, says there are only two or three priests in the U.S. who have said publically they are homosexual. St. Louis Archbishop Robert Carlson released a statement saying that Meier, “as a man who experiences same-sex attraction,” had “an opportunity to be an example and mentor to Catholics in the archdiocese who struggle with the same feelings.”

Military members honored called Bishop Romulo Emiliani of San Pedro Sula to offer his support in bringing peace to Honduras, which has one of highest homicide rates in the world. The bishop has been acting as a mediator between the Mara Salavatrucha and 18th Street gangs. He said last week he expects the gangs to sign a truce Tuesday and ask for talks with the government to help them start leaving their gang lifestyle. “We have to look for anything that’s an alternative to violence, and on the part of the government, we are open to any process that can lower violence,” Lobo said in the interview. Honduras is following the example of El Salvador, where leaders of the same gangs agreed last year to a truce that sharply lowered the number of violent deaths.
Despite objections, student-led prayer takes place at Kentucky graduation STANFORD, Ky. (AP) – A student-led prayer went on at a central Kentucky high school graduation, despite the opposition of at least six students Lincoln County High School 2013 Class President Jonathan Hardwick received a standing ovation after he prayed for about a minute during Friday’s commencement ceremony at the school. The Advocate-Messenger reported many audience members echoed his closing of “Amen.” A video of Hardwick’s prayer quickly hit social media websites. Six students, including at least one atheist, pleaded with school officials to stop the planned prayer. Earlier this month, Principal Tim Godbey, a self-professed Christian who says he prays for each of his students daily, said faculty members have never been able to pray publicly on school grounds or during school-sponsored functions. But he noted the Constitution did not prohibit students from doing so as long as they were not otherwise disruptive.

US urges Myanmar to eliminate 2-child policy imposed on Muslim Rohingyas WASHINGTON (AP) – The U.S. is calling on the government of Myanmar to stop the imposition of a two-child limit on a Muslim minority group that has been targeted in bloody communal unrest. State Department spokesman Patrick Ventrell said Tuesday the U.S. is deeply concerned about reports that authorities in two townships of western Rakhine State plan to enforce the limit on minority Rohingyas. Ventrell says the U.S. opposes coercive birth limitation policies, and urges Myanmar, in his words, “to eliminate all such policies without delay.” Opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi and Islamic leaders have also expressed their dismay. Myanmar has been accused of discriminating against Muslims. The Buddhist-majority country also is known as Burma.

New wife’s short leash keeps dad from son Dear Abby: My ex-husband and I divorced a year ago. We share a 4-year-old son and have a cordial relationship. Shortly after our divorce, he married a woman he had been carrying on an affair with while married to me. Since their wedding she has not allowed him to enter my home beyond the front door, be alone with me for any reason regardless of what we need to discuss, and he rarely calls to talk with our son anymore – all at her “request.” He has also informed me that she’s “not comfortable” with the idea of us communicating unless she is part of the conversation. I think she is being silly and immature, and he claims to agree, but he wants to keep the peace.
DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips I explained to him that even though he may allow her to dictate his life, she will not be dictating mine. If I feel I need to speak with him about something, I do not have to include her. Am I wrong? I am in no way trying to cause a problem in their marriage. I have decided that whatever answer you give I will abide by as I respect your opinion greatly. – Needs An Answer in Texas Dear Needs An Answer: The current “Mrs.” is acting more like a jailer than a wife, but then, she knows what your ex is capable of if he gets past
the front door or has private conversations with another woman. This is happening because she perceives you as still a threat. That your former husband allows her to exert this amount of control is unfortunate. The distancing from his son is happening because he is permitting it, and the loser here is the little boy. You’re not wrong, but if the only way your son can have a relationship with his dad is for this woman to be ever-present, then bite your tongue and go along with it for as long as this marriage lasts or your ex summons up enough backbone to set his No. 2 straight. Dear Abby: My sisters and I look out for our “Aunt Lil,” who is in her late 70s and nev-
er had children. Physically and mentally she’s fine right now. She quit driving a few years ago, but that had more to do with the price of gas than her driving ability. We run errands for her, take her to appointments, etc. Our question: For most of her life, Aunt Lil has kept up a steady correspondence with many people all over the world. When I say she has pen pals everywhere, I’m not exaggerating. When the time comes and she is gone, how should we notify her friends? I think a simple form letter would be fine, but my sisters think each person should be notified individually, either with a phone call or a personal letter. Abby, there are 100 people she writes to and those
are just the ones we’re aware of! Your thoughts would be appreciated. – Aunt Lil’s Girls Dear Girls: Considering that people live longer these days, I wouldn’t write off Aunt Lil too quickly. Because she still has all her faculties, ask HER how she wants it handled. She may prefer to write her own farewell note to be mailed after her death. (“By the time this reaches you, I will have gone to that great stationery store in the sky ...”)

For occasional heartburn, PPI not needed Dear Dr. K: I’ve been taking Prilosec for years to prevent heartburn. My wife doesn’t think it’s safe to take any drug for that long. What do you think? Dear Reader: I’ve said it before, but I think it bears repeating: No drug is 100 percent safe. That doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t take one if you need it. But you should continually weigh the risks and benefits. Prilosec is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), a drug that reduces stomach acid. We need stomach acid to help digest food, but in excess or in the wrong place, it’s a menace. It can inflame and irritate the esophagus, causing heartburn. (Recurring heartburn is called gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD.) It
ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff can also contribute to ulcers in the stomach and small intestine. PPIs are the most commonly prescribed drugs for acid reflux and heartburn. PPIs include lansoprazole (Prevacid), omeprazole (Prilosec) and esomeprazole (Nexium). Like you, people often take PPIs every day for years. This makes sense if you have a chronic problem with stomach acid, but the occasional case of mild heartburn does not need to be treated with a PPI. For that kind of spot duty, antacid medicines such
as Tums, Rolaids and Maalox will likely do the trick. They directly counteract acid in your stomach. So will drugs like cimetidine (Tagamet), famotidine (Pepcid) and ranitidine (Zantac). Like the PPIs, these drugs cause your stomach to make less acid, but they work faster than PPIs. You can also tackle your heartburn with changes that don’t involve taking anything. Eat smaller meals and cut back on alcohol. If you’re heavy, lose weight. Raising the head of your bed should also help. As a long-term PPI user, you should also consider the possible drug interactions and side effects of PPIs. They may decrease the effectiveness of clopidogrel (Plavix, others), a medication that
helps prevent artery-clogging blood clots. (This is controversial, and irrelevant if you’re not taking clopidogrel.) In addition, people taking PPIs seem to be more likely to get pneumonia than those who aren’t. Why would a medicine that reduces stomach acid make you vulnerable to pneumonia – a lung infection usually caused by bacteria? Because some cases of pneumonia come from regurgitating stomach contents up into the throat and having some of these contents drop down into the lungs. Since acid kills bacteria, stomach contents that are low in acid are more likely to contain bacteria. Stomach acid also helps you absorb calcium in your diet. Theoretically, that
might mean that long-term use of PPIs would make you vulnerable to thin bones (osteopenia or osteoporosis). However, the evidence for that is weak. Experts do not recommend, for example, that people taking long-term PPIs get bone density tests, or take calcium pills. Even if you have a prescription for a PPI, you and your doctor should review the reasons for it periodically to make sure they’re still valid. If you do need that prescription – and many people do – it should be for the lowest effective dose.

Many students cheat, take the easy way out Dr. Wallace: I was surprised to learn in a column that 80 percent of high school students in a survey of more than 5,000 students admitted that they had cheated at least once in high school. It was a long time ago (I’m 84), but I was my high school valedictorian, and I’m proud to say that I never cheated. I did assist several of my classmates with their homework, but I had permission from teachers. My best friend asked me to write a theme for him in English, but I said no. Being honest at school carried through my entire life. I have
’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace never done anything illegal, and I have never falsified anything on my income tax return. It is really enjoyable to be 100 percent honest and never have to look over my shoulder for someone coming after me. The Good Lord looked after me because I praised him. I really hope those students who cheat in school understand that they
8ASTROGRAPH By BERNICE BEDE OSOL Newspaper Enterprise Association
TODAY – Your financial trends could gradually begin to show improvement in the year ahead. As long as things continue to move upward, there is no need to become impatient. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Underestimating your competition is apt to produce undesirable results. Unless you carefully evaluate the strength of your adversities, you could lose out. CANCER (June 21-July 22) – It’s extremely important that you maintain a realistic but positive attitude concerning your work. If you inflate the difficulty of your job, all initiative will desert you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Your survival today depends on how well you can function independently of others. Don’t operate under the illusion that co-workers are looking out for anyone other than themselves. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – It would be wise to support your mate in public, even if you secretly disagree with his or her position. It’s a good strategy to show a united front. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Instead of trying to impose your thinking on your co-workers today, first listen to their ideas and/or what they have to say. They might have some suggestions that are far superior to yours. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Since finances are likely to be a touchy issue, instead of getting involved in a joint endeavor where another controls what you invest, try to handle all of your funds yourself. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – If you’re in a position of authority, be careful of how you treat your subordinates. If you come on too strong, you could create a situation that might get out of hand. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – If you attempt to appease associates rather than follow the dictates of your judgment, many of your efforts could turn out to be counterproductive. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Your spending habits are likely to be influenced by the company you keep. If you’re with high rollers, chances are that you’ll be more extravagant than usual. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Be careful, because you follow an inclination to test your will against a colleague’s. It’s an exercise in juvenile expression that you’ll later regret. ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Don’t be intimidated by someone who expresses him or herself in a bold, traumatic fashion. There could be nothing at the bottom of such a display. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – It’s best not to enter into a joint venture without a clear sense of who does what and where it will all lead. Make sure everyone’s priorities are in place.
are only cheating themselves. By the way, I forgot to tell you that I am a retired medical doctor, and I’m positive that all of my former patients are very happy that their doctor graduated from Johns Hopkins Medical School with honors. – Dr. R., New York, N.Y. Dr. R: Thanks for your inspiring message. Most students who cheat are perfectly capable of earning acceptable grades if they only completed the necessary assignments, but like many human beings, they take the easy way out. Dr. Wallace: I’m dating a

really great guy who is 18 and has graduated from high school. He has a job working for his dad in an auto repair shop. He treats me well and spends a lot of money on me. I like him a lot, but he does have one small problem. He earns most of his money selling drugs, mainly marijuana. I don’t like this one bit and have told him many times to stop selling, and he always says, “I will – tomorrow.” But tomorrow never seems to get here. What should I do? – Nameless, Reno, Nev. Nameless: Your boyfriend
BRIDGE Phillip Alder
doesn’t have a small problem. He has a major problem. Selling drugs is a criminal offense. If he’s caught, he’ll spend time behind bars. You’ve got to give him an ultimatum: “What’s more important, me or selling drugs? Don’t let him off the hook with that “tomorrow” excuse. If he’s still peddling drugs, drop him immediately.

8CROSSWORD
One way to bid a big major 5-5 We have reached the last step of bidding major two-suiters opposite a one-no-trump opening: a strong hand with at least two five-card suits. You may have your own method, but mine is to respond three spades – as in today’s deal. Over three spades, opener may bid game in either major. However, if he has a suitable hand for a slam, he rebids four clubs to say that he likes hearts, or four diamonds to establish spades as trumps. Here, North’s hand is borderline between four spades and four diamonds. Over four spades, South makes a five-club control-bid (cue-bid) to show a firstround control in that suit and strong slam interest. North indicates his first-round diamond control. South reveals second-round club control but no first-round heart control (because he did not bid five hearts). And when North admits to holding the heart ace, South jumps to seven spades. West, trusting his opponents, leads a trump. How should South play? Declarer has six side-suit tricks (five hearts and one diamond), so must score seven trump tricks via four high trumps on the board and three club ruffs in his hand. South takes the first trick on the board, ruffs a club high, crosses to dummy with a heart, ruffs another club high, plays a diamond to the ace, ruffs the last club high, overtakes his spade nine with dummy’s 10, draws trumps, and claims those 13 tricks. That is a beautiful dummy reversal.
