Steve Kreitzer is a veteran service officer with the DeKalb County Veterans Assistance Commission. Kreitzer, seen outside the DCVAC on Wednesday, counsels veterans on benefits they are entitled to. Kreitzer, who served in Iraq, was enlisted in the Army from March 2004 to June 2008 and also served one year in the reserves in 2010. By DAVID THOMAS

dthomas@shawmedia.com Every veteran has a different story and needs, but Steve Kreitzer is here to help. A veteran service officer with the DeKalb County Veterans Assistance Commission and an Army veteran, Kreitzer said he knows how important – and daunting – the transition from military to civilian life can be. “You’re in charge of so much, you’re doing so much every single day,” Kreitzer said. “And then you get back and it’s like none of those skills are useful, or you don’t feel like they are. You go from this feeling of importance to feeling insignificant in the world.”

There are an estimated 76,000 “new veterans” living in Illinois, according to the Social IMPACT Research Center at Heartland Alliance. The research center works with governments and nonprofit organizations on issues such as veterans and poverty. New veterans are defined as people who enlisted in the military after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. They tend to be white men, but the re-

search center notes women make up 17 percent of this group. Paul Villanueva is also a new veteran, sort of. The 42-year-old Genoa resident served in the Navy from 1988 to 1992 before re-enlisting in 2003. Villanueva was discharged again in 2013. For good, he said. Villanueva initially joined the Navy to escape poverty. During his first stint, he worked as an aviation firefighter, rescuing pilots from their jets if they caught fire. But working in the private sector left him unsatisfied. “I wanted a feeling of doing something more than making money,” Villanueva said.

Ill. Legislature fails to reach pension deal By SARA BURNETT The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – Illinois lawmakers failed again Friday to fix the state’s nearly $100 billion pension crisis – inaction that will put increasing pressure on the state’s already disastrous financial situation. Gov. Pat Quinn and legislators had said addressing the nation’s worst state-pension problem was their top priority in the 2013 session. But the Democratic-controlled House and Senate passed rival proposals – each backed by their chamber’s leader – and were unable to agree on how to move forward. Late Friday – the last day of

the legislative session – a spokeswoman for Senate President John Cullerton said the Senate wouldn’t take any more pension votes, leaving it up to the House to pass reform before the session’s midnight deadline. About an hour later, the House adjourned without a pension vote. Both Cullerton and House Speaker Michael Madigan pledged to continue working toward an agreement. “I don’t think we should take a lack of success today as a reason to give up,” Madigan said. Leaving town without a resolution means soaring pension payments will continue to squeeze Illinois’ budget. The inaction also

PAGE A4 could prompt credit rating agencies to further downgrade the state’s credit rating, which already is the lowest of any state in the U.S. The failure also could pose political problems for Quinn – who has said he was “put on earth” to solve the pension problem – as the Chicago Democrat eyes a re-election bid. Illinois’ five public employee retirement systems are about $97

billion short of what’s needed to pay benefits as currently promised, largely because lawmakers skipped or shorted their payments for years. The full annual payment in 2014 will be about $6 billion – nearly one-fifth of the state’s general revenue fund. If the Legislature doesn’t take action by 2016, the governor’s office estimates the state’s pension payment will be larger than the amount spent on education. For years, lawmakers have been unsuccessful in solving the growing problem, even as other states have approved legislation to deal with their own crises.

DeKALB – There was no emergency Friday at the former Small’s Furniture building. But DeKalb firefighters were at 2211 Sycamore Road preparing for one of the toughest calls they could face: Rescuing fellow firefighters who became trapped while helping people in a burning building. “When firefighters go into a fire, we try to have a reserve company there specifically to rescue the firefighters,” Assistant Fire Chief Jeff McMaster said. “That takes specialized training other than rescuing civilians, and it also takes different types of equipment.” Local developer John Pappas and his contractors are in the process of More online demolishing the 16,000-square-foot Go to Daily-Chronibuilding to construct cle.com to see video a 12,950-square-foot of the DeKalb Fire restaurant or retail Department practiccenter. He expects ing a rescue drill. most of the building will be removed by Tuesday or Wednesday, but Pappas was happy to let firefighters use the space Friday for specialized training. “They don’t get an opportunity like that unless it’s a real fire,” said Pappas, who owns Pappas Development. “It helps them out, and I’m glad I was able to help out.” The DeKalb City Council on Monday approved a $423,900 tax increment finance loan to Pappas Development to rehab and redevelop the site. The project is expected to cost $4.2 million, and the city expects to recoup the $423,900 over 7 years through new sales- and property-tax revenue. A company of two to four firefighters practiced finding and rescuing another company of firefighters who pretended to be trapped. The rescue could involve refilling the air tanks of troubled firefighters or “buddy breathing” by coupling their air tanks.

Court fight was driven by principles I sympathized with the organizers of the Stop the Mega-Dump group this week. We caught wind Wednesday evening that the Illinois Supreme Court had declined to hear the group’s appeal, which sought to overturn the DeKalb County Board’s decision to approve a massive expansion of the Waste Management landfill south of Interstate 88. I wrote the story for Thursday’s Daily Chronicle, and during the course of reporting it, I had the opportunity to speak with two of the founding members of the group, Dan Kenney and Mac McIntyre. We might not be in total agreement on the issue, but what they and other landfill opponents did is worthy of respect. There was no financial benefit for them in pressing this yearslong court fight until they could press it no longer. Rather, it cost money and time. Their effort was driven by their convictions. Members of the unfortunately named Stop the Mega-Dump believed what they were doing was right and the county was in the wrong. They took it as far as they could because they cared about the effect this landfill expansion would have on our shared environment. Their concerns are understandable. This is an expansion that is staggering in its scope. Waste Management plans to use almost 600 more acres of DeKalb County for a waste disposal facility that can accept trash from 17 counties. It was clear from their voices Wednesday that they were disappointed in the outcome, although they probably were not surprised. Like people who lose hard-fought elections or extra-inning playoff games, it was easy to empathize with them. On Wednesday, Kenney made a point about the long list of conditions that the County Board had imposed upon Waste Management if it is to expand its landfill. They include extensive systems for monitoring air quality and gas management, and an extended agreement guaranteeing that property values will not decrease within a mile of the landfill. If they sell for less, Waste Management is to pay the seller the difference. I hope that Kenney and others who are concerned about this project do their part to hold regulators and the company accountable. The Daily Chronicle will do its part as well. Let it end: This should settle the question on the landfill expansion, but there’s talk that another citizens group – the Cortland Township Electors’ Association – will mount a new

EDITOR’S NOTE Eric Olson legal challenge, claiming the Illinois Township Code gives townships the authority to override county and state regulators by refusing to allow the garbage to be dumped within their borders. Frankie Benson is raising funds for the effort, and says the group already has secured about $20,000 in promised funds. It won’t fly. Townships don’t need to exist at all in the 21st century. They have no function that could not easily be absorbed by county or city governments. It’s ironic that township boosters like to describe themselves as the “form of government closest to the people,” and yet only two of DeKalb County’s 19 townships – DeKalb and Pierce – have even bothered to create websites. If townships disappeared tomorrow, at least 75 percent of “the people” wouldn’t notice, except maybe for the slight decrease in their property tax bills. There is no logical universe in which a township board’s “no” vote, based on no parameters or hearing of any kind, will overrule the County Board and state. Regardless what you think of the people who want to expand the landfill, they are as entitled to due process as anyone else. There are many people living in our community – children, the elderly and disabled veterans to name just a few – who need help more than whichever lawyer would be in line to take this Quixotic case. If you’ve got cash to burn, why not spend it helping people in need? Not that lawyers aren’t people, strictly speaking, but you get my meaning. Go Barbs, Spartans: Today the Sycamore baseball and DeKalb softball teams will play for sectional titles. In other words, both teams are only two wins from reaching the state tournament. DeKalb won a thriller Wednesday, beating Harlem, 4-3, in their last at-bat of the game, when Haley Tadd took an outside pitch the other way for an RBI single. The Barbs will face Warren at 11 a.m. today at Prairie Ridge High School in Crystal Lake for their second plaque of the postseason. Meanwhile, the Spartans are looking for their first sectional title in school history after trouncing Rockford East, 10-0, Thursday.

Here’s hoping both teams bring home the hardware. Speaking of favorites: It’s time to vote for your favorite local businesses across DeKalb County. We’re conducting our 2013 Readers’ Choice Survey, asking people about their favorite businesses in more than 120 categories, from accountants to yogis. No, you don’t have to name a business in every category for your vote to count. But maybe you have an opinion on who makes the best burrito in DeKalb County, or which is the best nail salon, or who’s your favorite local grocer. You can cast your vote at http:// shawurl.com/mht. If you prefer pen and paper, a full-page list of the choices appeared on page C6 in Friday’s Daily Chronicle, and watch for another to appear Monday. Responses are due by June 10. I’m still kind of new in town, and I could use your advice. No more Dead Wings: I’m going to miss the Blackhawks playing the Detroit Red Wings. Detroit will move to the NHL’s Eastern Conference in 2013-14, which means the Original Six rivalry is winding down. It’s kind of like if the Bears stopped playing the [stinking] Green Bay Packers twice a year, or the Cubs stopped playing those [no-good] St. Louis Cardinals or the White Sox … moved to Florida or something. Still, if one of the NHL’s most storied rivalries had to be curtailed (thanks, Gary Bettman), at least it ends with the Hawks on top. For the start of the Hawks’ Western Conference Finals series against the Los Angeles Kings, we’re planning poster pages featuring your favorite Hawks in the Daily Chronicle sports section. Today’s poster on the back of our Sports section features Hawks’ defenseman Duncan Keith, who I’ll always remember talking to in the locker room with a glazed look on his face after taking a puck to the mouth and losing seven teeth against San Jose in the NHL’s Western Conference Finals in 2010. Keith returned for the end of that game, which the Hawks won to complete a sweep of the Sharks. “I feel fine,” Keith said later. “It’s just teeth.”

By RYAN NAKASHIMA The Associated Press LOS ANGELES – Sony Corp. is taking a deeper dive into ultrahigh-definition video after coming out Friday with “After Earth,” the first of Sony’s three movies this year both shot and presented in the emerging 4K digital format. At a screening for journalists, I got a close-up look at even the pores on Will Smith’s face as details were rendered with greater clarity on the big screen. Sony and other consumer electronics makers are betting that 4K images will become the new standard, prompting consumers to buy fancier TVs just as they did when high definition, or HD, rolled out over the past decade. It could also entice more people to buy movie tickets to see for themselves what the superclear format is like. But the more detailed images present a host of problems. They use four times the number of pixels as the current HD standard, which results in larger data files. Budget-strapped digital effects companies are having trouble handling all that data.

Sony’s CineAlta F65 camera, which was used to shoot “After Earth,” is on display May 20 at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, Calif. Sony Corp., one of the first makers of 4K, or ultrahigh-definition television sets, came out Friday, with one of the first movies to be both shot and presented in the format, “After Earth.” the extra visual information means the majority of the special effects shots in “After Earth” – comprising about a third of all the shots in the movie – were actually worked on in lower-resolution HD. At the screening I attended, I could see details I’ve never noticed before – the actors’ tiny skin imperfections, or Smith’s salt-and-pepper whiskers. In a distant shot of Smith’s son, Jaden,

running down a riverbed, I was struck by how many small rocks were defined clearly from such a distance. Yet other shots that included computer-generated cityscapes or otherworldly creatures looked less sharp. I was sitting in the seventh row – close enough to tell the difference. If you sit at the back of a theater, you might not be able to tell the difference between 4K and HD.

St. Mary’s breaks ground on Faith Formation Center $2.2M project is first of three phases for expansion By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – The Church of St. Mary started building more than a faith center Friday. Church leaders expect the Faith Formation Center, which they celebrated with a groundbreaking ceremony, to help the Sycamore church spread Catholic culture in today’s secular society. “Catholic schools are the architects of Catholic culture,” said Michael Kagan, superintendent of schools for the Diocese of Rockford. Dozens of parents, parishioners and St. Mary’s Catholic School students gathered near the school at 222 Waterman St. to commemorate the beginning of a three-phase expansion project. Friday marked the beginning of phase one, which is the construction of

“When you believe in Catholic education, it’s about building for the future.” Kim Coovert Parent of St. Mary’s students the $2.2 million Faith Formation Center. The center will be a two-story building with space for classrooms and the religious education program. The first floor will include classrooms for preschool, kindergarten and first grade. Classrooms for junior high students are planned for the second floor. The school’s principal, Ross Bubolz, said the space will accommodate the school’s growing junior high population. This year, the school had 38 seventh- and eighth-graders; next year, the school expects to have 50 students in

those grades, Bubolz said. Rosanne Dwyer, director of the religious education program for the school, said the program alone has served more than 4,000 students since 2002. Religious education serves not only students but also the community with Christian service projects, she said. “This new, beautiful building will give us even more space to reach more people,” Dwyer said. The next two phases will include a gym, a cafeteria and connect the school with the church. Bubolz said the projected cost of the expansion is $8 million. Kim Coovert has two children who attend the school and sits on the education commission for the parish. “When you believe in Catholic education,” Coovert said, “it’s all about building forward.”

36-year-old faces stalking charge By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com

SYCAMORE – A Malta man accused of stalking his family will be monitored through GPS if he posts $1,000 bail, a judge decided Friday. Karl J. Hansen, 36, of the 200 block of South Orput Street, was charged May 24 with aggravated stalking, criminal damage to property and violating an order of protection. He also was charged with Karl J. Hansen misdemeanor harassment in connection with a Jan. 24 incident. Hansen is accused of scratching his estranged wife’s car early May 24 while it was parked at the Kirkland home covered by the order of protection, court records show. An order of protection requires Hansen to stay at least 500 feet away from the house where the car was parked and the people who live there, authorities said. After the order of protection was entered, Hansen started delivering newspapers for the Daily Chronicle in Kirkland and the surrounding area, including the homes on either side of the protected address, authorities said. Hansen told police he delivered papers there nightly since April 24, court records show. This came weeks after Hansen allegedly placed an ad on Craigslist looking for someone to have sex with his estranged wife, authorities said. Hansen had been held in the DeKalb County Jail without bond since May 24 while authorities compiled a risk assessment. On Friday, Presiding Judge Robbin Stuckert set his bond at $10,000, but ordered that he live with his parents and follow the county’s electronic home-monitoring program if he posts the required $1,000 to be released while the case is pending. The most serious charge Hansen faces, aggravated stalking, typically is punishable by up to five years in prison. His next court date is June 26.

The thought of children worrying about when they will eat next is troubling to Connie McCleary. So she and other members of First United Methodist Church in DeKalb decided to do something about the demand for food among children, especially during the summer. The church has partnered with the Northern Illinois Food Bank to offer free meals to families with children who utilize the free and reduced lunch program during the school year. Summer Lunch and More serves nearly 60 percent of DeKalb students who are on free and reduced lunch but have limited access to food when school isn’t in session. “For us to qualify to receive the lunches [from the food bank], we have to be serving where it’s 50 percent or above,” McCleary said. “In this area, we don’t have any problem with that.” Donna Lake, Northern Illi-

nois Food Bank communications director, said students should enjoy their childhoods without being hungry all the time. “Summer is a time when kids should be out,” she said. “But the reality is one in five kids across Northern Illinois are struggling to find enough food of nutritional value.” Capt. Michael Cho, corps officer at The Salvation Army, said the group’s food pantry has been working to meet a growing demand for food among families in the area.

Four years ago, The Salvation Army DeKalb County Food Pantry – the largest food pantry in the county – averaged 500 families a month, Cho said. Today, the organization helps about 700 families, or 2,800 people a month. “The need has increased,” he said. “And we anticipate it will increase even more.” Families can frequent the emergency food pantry once a month, but the food they receive lasts a little less than a week. “Obviously, it is difficult for us to provide the entire

Jeoffrey A. Walter, 49, of the 0-99 block of North Harve Street, Plano, and 200 block of Ann Street, Somonauk, was found by Aurora police breaking into a locked truck with co-defendant Kevin Kosatka, 49, of West Chicago on July 27, 2010.

felony that carries a sentence of 2 to 5 years in prison. Kosatka pleaded guilty to attempted burglary in February 2011 and was sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison.

ILLINOIS LEGISLATURE

Concealed-carry bill goes to Quinn The ASSOCIATED PRESS SPRINGFIELD – Illinois would join the rest of the nation in allowing the carrying of concealed weapons under legislation approved by the General Assembly on Friday – hours before lawmakers were scheduled to adjourn for the summer and days before a federal court’s deadline. The gun measure was a hard-fought compromise between gun rights activists across the state and gun control advocates trying to keep a lid on crime in Chicago. It now goes to Gov. Pat Quinn, a Chicago Democrat, who has not indicated whether he will sign it. An 89-28 vote by the Illinois House on Friday sealed the compromise worked out after the federal appeals court ordered in December that Illinois end its ban on concealed carry by June 9. Earlier in the day, the Senate OK’d the plan 45-12. Both margins are big enough to withstand a gubernatorial veto. Both critics and proponents of the measure said they were concerned about a lack of action before the court’s deadline. Past that point, no one knew what would happen, said Sen. Gary Forby, a southern Illinois Democrat who sponsored the final settlement. “Some people [would say] ‘I can carry anything I want to,’ ” Forby said. “Some towns will say, ‘We can make laws and stop everything now.’ And no one will know, from Cairo, Ill., to Chicago, ... what the law is.” The plan would prohibit the possession of guns in such

A look at top issues lawmakers faced this week SPRINGFIELD – Illinois lawmakers faced a midnight deadline for the end of the session. Here’s a look at how they fared by Friday on four of the major issues: BUDGET: Lawmakers sent the budget package to Gov. Pat Quinn. Republicans criticized the $35.4 billion general funds budget for the fiscal year that begins July 1, saying that it increases spending yet again. Democrats say it’s a responsible spending plan that pays off part of the state’s bill backlog and avoids cuts to education for the first time in at least four years.

GAMBLING: The sponsor of a plan to expand gambling decided not to call a vote on the final evening of the session. He said the proposal just wasn’t ready. For days he’s been locked in negotiations with the governor’s office and others on issues including oversight of a Chicago casino. Democratic Robert Rita vowed to take up the issue again. GAY MARRIAGE: The House sponsor of a measure that would make Illinois the 13th U.S. state to allow same-sex marriage decided not to call the bill for a vote. Rep. Greg Harris said he simply didn’t

have the votes, but said he’d bring the issue back. The Senate approved the measure in February, and Quinn says he’s ready to sign it. FRACKING: The Senate approved a measure to regulate high-volume oil and gas drilling – detailing the strictest standards in the nation. The House overwhelmingly approved it a day before and Quinn is in favor. Supporters say regulated “fracking” would bring jobs to depressed areas in southern Illinois while some opponents worry about pollution.

places as schools, taverns and parks, but would allow a gun to be kept securely in a car. It did not include an earlier proposal to eliminate all local gun ordinances, including Chicago’s current ban on assault weapons, but would curb local control on handguns and lawful transportation of firearms. It would require the Illinois State Police to issue a concealed-carry permit to any gun owner with a Firearm Owners Identification card who passes a background check, pays a $150 fee and undergoes 16 hours of training – the most required by any state. On another gun matter, the Senate defeated a proposed ban on ammunition magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. Quinn and Senate Democratic leaders had pushed the initiative in Springfield alongside parents of three schoolchildren who were fatally shot in December at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.

But the measure was defeated in the Senate, 28-31. Quinn referenced the Connecticut school shooting in a prepared statement, saying he was disappointed lawmakers didn’t snag the opportunity to “minimize the chance of this unthinkable violence happening in Illinois.” On guns, Illinois has been long divided along geographic, as well as political, lines. Chicago Democrats rage against street violence while conservatives in other parts of the state, particularly southern Illinois, maintain loyalty to the Second Amendment. But the need for a consensus rose in December, when the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Illinois’ ban on concealed weapons is unconstitutional. All other states allow concealed carry, although 10 states have more restrictive laws than what is proposed in Illinois. The Illinois House endorsed a more permissive plan last week, but it took the

extra step of invalidating all local ordinances on firearms, including the Chicago ban on assault-style weapons, and drew the fierce opposition of Quinn, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Senate Democrats, who rejected it. But Sen. Kwame Raoul, D-Chicago, a supporter of tougher restrictions, negotiated with House members and others to forge Friday’s compromise. It overrides local regulations on handguns or those that further restrict the ability of lawful gun owners to transport unloaded or broken-down weapons. It would leave other current ordinances intact, but ban future assault-weapons prohibitions. Chicago got what it wished in terms of nearly two dozen specific places declared gunfree, including mass transit buses and guns. Emanuel said in a statement the bill “strikes a better balance between the rights of gun owners and the unique public safety needs of Chicago.”

Madigan-Cullerton differences held up deal • PENSION Continued from page A1 This year’s failure came down to a difference of opinion between Madigan and Cullerton, both Chicago Democrats, on how best to address the problem. Madigan wanted a comprehensive pension bill that cut benefits across the board. Cullerton favored giving employees and retirees a choice in benefits – an approach he said was the only one that would survive a court challenge. Public employee unions, View a complete list of Daily Chronicle obituaries by clicking on the calendar dates

which threatened to sue if Madigan’s bill passed, lobbied hard for Cullerton’s approach, saying they wanted a deal that would not only uphold the state’s promises to workers and retirees but also stabilize the pension system. The Senate acted first, approving in committee legislation sponsored by Cullerton in March that included both approaches: one as the primary legislation, the other as a “backup” in case the Illinois Supreme Court deemed the first unconstitutional. Cullerton said he wanted to send a clear message to the

New York bond houses that Illinois could agree on at least a piece of the puzzle. He also wanted to send a test case to the court. But the business community and other critics lobbied against the bill, saying it didn’t save Illinois enough money. Despite a few changes, the legislation arrived in the House with little chance of being passed. In late April, Madigan announced he was stripping Cullerton’s language and replacing it with his own comprehensive bill. The measure cut cost-of-living increases, raised the retirement age and

required employees to pay more toward their own retirement. Madigan and other supporters said it would save the state more money than Cullerton’s plan. But public employee unions said it violated a provision of the state constitution that says pension benefits cannot be diminished. Shortly after the House passed Madigan’s bill in early May, Cullerton and the unions announced they had come to an agreement on a separate measure that would give workers and retirees a choice in pension benefits.

Respite for Medicare; Social Security no worse By ALAN FRAM and RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Medicare’s long-term health is starting to look a little better, the government said Friday, but both Social Security and Medicare are still wobbling toward insolvency within two decades if Congress and the president don’t find a way to shore up the trust funds established to take care of older Americans. Medicare’s giant fund for inpatient care will be exhausted in 2026, two years later than estimated last year, while Social Security’s projected insolvency in 2033 remains

unchanged, the government reported. An overall slowdown in health care spending is helping Medicare. Spending cuts in President Barack Obama’s health care law are also having a positive impact on the balance sheet, but they may prove politically unsustainable over the long run. The relatively good news about two programs that provide a foundation of economic security for nearly every American family is a respite, not a free pass. Program trustees urged lawmakers anew to seize a current opportunity and make long-term changes to improve finances. Action now would be far less jarring

than having to hit the brakes at the edge of a fiscal cliff. Politically, however, Friday’s positive report and the absence of a crisis could make legislative action less likely, especially in light of the lack of trust between President Barack Obama and Republicans in Congress. No end is in sight for the partisan standoff over what to do about Social Security and Medicare, two of the government’s costliest programs, and the mammoth budget deficits they help fuel. Still, fresh warnings were sounded. “Under current law, both of these vitally important programs are on unsustainable paths,” said economist Rob-

ert D. Reischauer, one of two independent public trustees overseeing the annual reports. The window for action “is in the process of closing even as we speak,” said his counterpart, Charles Blahous III, also a prominent economist. Social Security provides monthly benefit checks to about 57 million people, including 40 million retirees and their dependents, 11 million disabled workers and dependents and 6 million survivors of deceased workers. Medicare covers nearly 51 million people, mainly retirees but also disabled workers. If the funds ever become exhausted, the nation’s two

biggest benefit programs would collect enough money to pay only partial benefits. Social Security could cover only about 75 percent of benefits, while Medicare’s fund for hospital and nursing rehabilitation care could pay 87 percent of costs. With 10,000 baby boomers turning 65 every day, America’s aging population is straining both programs. While the combined Social Security fund was projected to be depleted in 2033, the trustees warned that the threat to one of its component trust funds that makes payments to workers on disability is much more urgent. They projected that the

disability trust fund would deplete its reserves in 2016. That date is unchanged from last year’s report. Blahous said he hoped that would prod lawmakers to act on the broad challenges facing Social Security. The remaining trustees are senior administration officials, including Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. While acknowledging the need for long-term changes to improve program finances, they used the occasion of the annual report to assert that Obama’s policies are working, particularly his health care overhaul.

U.S. consumers cut spending in April

Bieber’s pet monkey has new home in Germany

WASHINGTON – Americans cut back on spending in April after their income failed to grow, a sign that economic growth may be slowing. Consumer spending dropped a seasonally adjusted 0.2 percent in April, the Commerce Department said Friday. That was the first decline since May 2012. It followed a 0.1 percent increase in March and a 0.8 percent jump in February. A drop in gas prices likely lowered overall spending. Adjusted for inflation, spending ticked up 0.1 percent last month. Still, that was the smallest gain since October. Consumers also likely spent less to heat their homes last month, which may have reduced spending on utilities. April’s weather was mild after an unusually cold March. Income was unchanged last month, after a 0.3 percent rise in March and 1.2 percent gain in February. Wages and salaries

BERLIN – Justin Bieber’s former pet, Mally the Monkey, is getting ready to meet new playmates at his new home in Germany. The 23-week-old animal was presented to photographers at the Serengeti Park in Hodenhagen, in northern Germany, on Friday. He faces another 25 days in quarantine before he can join his new family: the zoo’s six capuchin monkeys – three male and three female – including baby Molly, born in February. Mally was transferred to the zoo last weekend after living at a Munich animal shelter since he was seized by German customs March 28. Bieber failed to produce the required vaccination and import papers after arriving for a European tour. Mally’s ownership was transferred to the German state May 21 after the singer missed a deadline to send the documents.

Cleveland police take a woman into custody after a fight that broke out at Michael R. White Elementary School in Cleveland. A brawl that started over spilled punch at a kindergarten graduation ceremony Friday resulted in the arrest of eight people, authorities said. Police were called when one participant pulled out a pipe and another a hammer. Two teenage girls apparently started hitting each other, and their families joined in, Cleveland police Cmdr.

Punches fly at kindergarten graduation The Associated Press CLEVELAND – A brawl that started over spilled punch at a kindergarten graduation ceremony Friday resulted in the arrest of eight people, authorities said. Police were called when one participant pulled out a pipe and another a hammer. Two teenage girls apparently started hitting each other at Michael R. White Elementary School, and their families joined in, Cleveland police Cmdr. Wayne Drummond said. The fight involved adults and minors, he said. “You had adults fighting adults, juvies fighting juvies, and so forth,” he said as parents streamed into the building to pick up their children. “You just had a melee here.” No one was hurt, Drummond said. It wasn’t clear whether the hammer and pipe were brought to the school or were grabbed

during the fight from a janitor’s supplies or elsewhere, police spokeswoman Jennifer Ciaccia said. No charges were immediately filed, but those arrested were being booked for aggravated rioting, Drummond said. By city practice, charges are filed after prosecutors review a case. A parent of students at the school, Brianna Smith, was alerted by a neighbor about the fight and went to the school to get her 7- and 12-year-old sons. “It makes me not want to send them for the rest of the school year,” she told The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer. City Councilman Jeff Johnson lives across the street from the school, which is in a blue-collar neighborhood overlooking the leafy University Circle arts and museum district. He said the spilled punch set off the fight, with one person pulling out a pipe and another a hammer, lead-

ing school security officers to call police. “Mouthing off, one thing leads to another and it spills out here,” Johnson said. At least 10 patrol cars went to the scene. “It was a very chaotic scene,” said Drummond, who said the fight erupted as the ceremony was ending about 11 a.m. and then moved outside. Officers quickly restored order, Drummond said. The initial heavy police response came amid a call, which turned out to be false, about shots fired, he said. No students enrolled at the school were involved, school district communications officer Roseann Canfora said in an email. The school was put on lockdown. Johnson said the quick police response was important amid heightened concerns about school security.

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama on Friday urged Congress to prevent student loan rates from doubling in a month, prompting a fight with House Republicans who accused him of playing politics instead of sitting down to work out small differences and avoid an increase. Interest rates on new subsidized Stafford loans are set to go from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent on July 1. Lawmakers from both parties say they want to avoid the increase but are divided over how to do so. Obama said if Congress doesn’t act to stop loan rates from rising, students would rack up an additional $1,000 annually in debt. “That’s like a $1,000 tax hike,” the president said. Obama made his case flanked by college students wearing business suits and dresses on a steamy Washington morning in the Rose Garden. The event marked the beginning of a public campaign by the president to extend temporarily current student loan rates or find a

Toddler battles rare condition Kreitzer had positive experience By PAUL SWIECH The Bloomington Pantagraph BLOOMINGTON – Jameson Golliday is in awe of the world around him, making contact with his bright eyes with the few people he is allowed to see, smiling and showing off his toy airplane and stethoscope. Jameson’s world is limited to his family’s modest Bloomington home and an occasional walk around the block with his family – provided the 1½-year-old b o y w e a r s Jameson a m a s k a n d Golliday touches nothing and no one beyond his parents and brother. When the Gollidays – who include parents Rob and Jen and brother Shawn, age 5 – return home, all of them change clothes and shower or bathe. Other people are kept several feet away. Their contact with Jameson is limited to sharing smiles, waves and a few words. “It’s still scary,” Rob confided to a reporter and photographer who were allowed into the Golliday home but remained near the front door, away from the family playing in their living room. Both vis-

itors wore masks. “Sometimes, I feel like we’ll be isolated forever,” Rob said. “But looking at when Jen and Jameson were in the hospital, it’s nice for us to be all together at home.” Jen said, “When we’re all here, playing in the house, we feel like a normal family.” Jameson has a rare immunodeficiency called X-SCID, sometimes referred to as Bubble Boy disease. The inherited disorder happens in boys when they lack a key immune system cell type called T cells, explained Dr. Lisa Filipovich, director of the immune deficiency and histiocytosis program at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. Without these immune cells, Jameson – and any boy with SCID (severe combined immunodeficiency) – is born with virtually no immune system, meaning their bodies can’t fight off infection. But Jameson qualified for a clinical trial of a gene therapy being performed at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. The therapy was done and appears to be working slowly as Jameson remains in isolation at home. “We don’t know how long he’ll be like this,” Jen said. “His T cells are growing slowly. There have been so few attempts at this (experimental

gene therapy) that we don’t know what’ll happen. “So, we watch and wait and stay in isolation,” she said. “But we are optimistic and the doctors are optimistic that he eventually would have a normal immune system.” Jameson was 5 months old in spring 2012 when he developed a bump on his left hip. Doctors thought it was an infected hair follicle and prescribed antibiotics. The bump remained. A surgeon took a biopsy and told the Gollidays that Jameson had cancer. “Our world was shattered,” Jen said. On April 1, 2012, Jameson was breathing so rapidly that the Gollidays drove to Children’s Hospital of Illinois in Peoria. Doctors there concluded that Jameson had SCID. “Once they referred to it as ‘Bubble Boy,’ I remembered the movie with John Travolta and the Seinfeld episode,” Jen said. “It was terrifying, heartbreaking and so scary, not knowing what happens next,” she said. An oncologist at Children’s Hospital told the Gollidays that Cincinnati Children’s would be the best place to go for treatment. Jameson and Jen were flown there April 16 and Rob and Shawn remained in Bloomington.

Firefighters to continue training Mon. • SMALL’S Continued from page A1 DeKalb firefighters haven’t lost one of their own in a structure fire in recent history, but the extra training could help them handle the emotional stress if faced with a real-life “mayday” situation, McMaster said. About 16 of the department’s 52 firefighters participated. After they finished practicing mayday rescues, they prac-

ticed moving large water hoses around the building while it was filled with smoke from a machine, McMaster said. Firefighters will return Monday to punch holes in walls and windows like they would do if they became trapped inside a room while responding to a fire. It’s unusual to practice in a large commercial building, but they’ve been fortunate to have other local government officials let them practice in unused residential homes, Mc-

Master said. DeKalb firefighters will practice maneuvering water hoses and hooking up to fire hydrants next week at a two-story house the sanitary district owns. In July or August, they plan to burn down a house owned by DeKalb Taylor Municipal Airport, McMaster said. “We are trying to become more hands-on in our training,” he said. “... Sometimes we’ll go a month or a year without obtaining a house.”

• VETERANS Continued from page A1 An Aurora native, Kreitzer joined the Army in 2004. He was going to go to school to become a youth minister, but “I felt like I could, in a sense, serve God better in the service.” Kreitzer described his four-year experience as positive, and his one-year tour in Iraq solidified the bond with his fellow soldiers. “We went over there as convoy security,” Kreitzer said. “I was the gunner in the lead truck, guarding convoys, making sure supplies got from point A to point B.” When he left the Army, he used his GI Bill benefits to attend Northern Illinois University, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in economics. While there, he was a student worker in the university’s military student services office. “I enjoy working with veterans,” Kreitzer said. “Veterans are a very unique population. We can connect. And it’s a rewarding job. Being able to help a veteran out to get his education benefits, to maximize those education benefits, because there are pitfalls veterans can get into.”

Rob Winner – rwinner@shawmedia.com

Steve Kreitzer, a veteran service officer with the DeKalb County Veterans Assistance Commission, enters data into a computer at his office Wednesday in DeKalb. Villanueva said military personnel, or those contemplating enlisting, should consider how long they want to serve. “You should be thinking about it the first day you get in,” Villanueva said. “You should be planning for it. ... When it comes to re-enlistment time, you don’t want to stay in for a car payment.” Kreitzer can help veterans navigate the benefits for which they are eligible. The commission, for instance, can provide financial aid to veterans and their families.

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs handles education, health care and disability benefits for veterans. The Illinois Department of Veterans’ Affairs can help veterans with their benefits, as well as provide more opportunities for education and employment, spokesman Ryan Yantis said. “We hope the veterans afford themselves these opportunities ... they’ve earned this,” Yantis said. “This is part of where their time in service has qualified them for.”

‘Pinhead professors’ stifle honest views Once again, graduation time is upon us, and a new study by the Los Angeles Times says plenty about the state of higher education in America. The paper looked at the invited commencement speakers for 150 colleges and universities. There are just four conservative speakers, as opposed to at least 69 liberal speakers. In fact, Newark (N.J.) Mayor Cory Booker, a very liberal guy, has as many campus addresses as all elected Republicans combined. There is no shortage of intellect or accomplishment on the right. The reason few conservative speakers are invited is that college administrators are frightened by radical-left students and faculty. Last month, Karl Rove’s speech at the University of Massachusetts was disrupted, and so was the address by Sen. Rand Paul at Howard University. Nobody wants a graduation ceremony turned into an ideological circus, and that’s what often happens when perceived conservatives are invited to speak on certain campuses. Last year, I headed up a benefit for the It Happened to Alexa Foundation at Boston University, where I received a master’s degree in broadcast journalism. As a freshman, Alexa Branchini was raped in a BU dorm and had to withdraw from the school. She eventually founded,

VIEWS Bill O’Reilly with her parents, an organization to help victims of violent crime. I felt the campus of Boston University would be the perfect place to hold a fundraiser for this fine charity. How wrong I was. A number of far-left professors and administrators, including a university vice president, boycotted the event. The school did little to promote it and essentially folded under the pressure of zealots. It was an absolute disgrace and an insult to Alexa and her family. That tells you all you need to know about the mentality of fanatical college professors and the cowardly administrators who enable them. There is no question that liberal indoctrination is a fact of life on most American college campuses. Tenure means never having to say you’re sorry or you’re wrong. And, overwhelmingly, tenured college teachers are liberal. They dominate and intimidate their students. If you go up against them, your grade often suffers. There is a tyranny in higher education that is gravely harming this nation.

When a distinguished medical doctor and author such as Ben Carson has to withdraw as a commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins University because some loons don’t like his conservative point of view, you know there is trouble in River City. And little is being done about it. It is long past time to call out America’s colleges, especially those funded by taxpayers, and demand that they be fair in their hiring practices and speaking forums. I give a nice annual donation to Marist College, where I obtained a degree in history, because it is fair. But I’ve stopped giving to Boston U. and to Harvard (where I received a master’s in public administration) because those schools are not fair. All college grads should evaluate their contributions. That’s the only way the liberal higher-education stranglehold will be broken. Many of those pinhead professors espouse socialistic tenets – but, believe me, they want the money. The goal of higher education should be to champion the airing of all honest viewpoints. Nothing less is acceptable.

Terrorists hate west, reap its benefits By FOUAD AJAMI Bloomberg News “We swear by the almighty Allah we will never stop fighting you until you leave us alone: We must fight them as they fight us, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.” This was Michael Adebolajo, 28, born in Britain to a devoted Christian family of Nigerian background. His hands covered with the blood of a young off-duty British soldier, he and a younger accomplice made no effort to flee the scene of the crime. The video of the attack, on a busy street in daylight, spoke of both derangement and audacity. “I apologize that women had to witness this today but in our land our women have to see the same,” Adebolajo said. The reference to “our land” appeared to confound the first wave of commentary last week. Muslims had no trouble recognizing the reference. The man of British birth claimed the lands of Islam as his own. Many decades earlier, Sayyid Qutb, the Egyptian thinker who was the Lenin of the political Islamists (and

executed in 1966 by his country’s military dictatorship), resolved this tension for generations to come. We may carry their nationalities, he wrote of infidel nations, but we belong to our religion. The coldbloodedness of the scene in London recalled another, in the streets of Amsterdam on Nov. 2, 2004. Mohammed Bouyeri, a 26-year-old Moroccan-Dutchman, had caught up with the filmmaker Theo van Gogh, who was riding his bicycle on a bleak Amsterdam morning. Bouyeri shot Van Gogh in the stomach, then cut his victim’s throat, as though slashing a tire, one witness said. Nor was there any remorse at his trial. Bouyeri didn’t recognize the authority of the court. He lived by the law of the Islamic Shariah, he said. Fittingly for this disordered world, Bouyeri wore Nike sneakers under his black djellaba. He knew little of Islam. His turning to the faith was sudden. Until then, he had been “Mo,” cheerful and clever at school. (Ian Buruma gave a superb account of this crime in his 2006 book, “Murder in Amsterdam.”)

The assimilationist promise of the polyglot societies of the West has come under intense challenge. A second generation of disaffected Muslims has risen. No liberal society could foresee the moment when true believers were going to give in to their derangement. Islam had put down roots in Britain. This was the backwash of empire. When the British empire pulled back from its far-flung dominions, its Muslim subjects followed. The growth in their ranks was phenomenal: There were 23,000 British Muslims in 1951 and 1.6 million by 2001. Mosques multiplied: 10 in 1945 and 1,493 by 2003. Radical preachers who quit the secular dictatorships of the Arab world made their way to London. There was freedom in London, and state welfare subsidies. The preacher who now claims to have inducted Adebolajo to the ways of radical Islamism was a notorious bigot, Omar Bakri Mohammed, a man of Syrian birth, who gathered around him a group of bewildered, angry young men, Al Muhajiroun (the Emigrants). London gave Bakri all he could aspire for: welfare

relief, followers, a soapbox. He hailed the Sept. 11 attacks, and described the death pilots who struck America as the “magnificent 19.” Lawyers sheltered him from deportation. His luck ran out in 2005 when the authorities blocked his return to London, after a visit to Lebanon. He gave his sanction and approval to the killing in Woolwich. He justified it on the grounds that the victim was a man of the military and not a civilian. Britain’s moment of grief at the hands of radical Islamists, its 9/11, came in 2005 with the 7/7 attacks. London’s transportation system was struck by four jihadists and 52 people were killed. A parliamentary report later laid bare the world of these younger men who bore British society a dreadful hatred. Naturally, al-Qaida’s leaders claimed the bombers. Yet one suspects they are the children of a more tangled trail, at once so familiar and so unrecognizable.

Thumbs up: To the first media photos taken of court proceedings at the DeKalb County Courthouse in generations. On Tuesday, a Daily Chronicle photographer shot photographs from a hearing for those accused of hazing in the death of NIU freshman David Bogenberger. Reporters also captured audio and video recordings of the proceedings, all without compromising the dignity and order of the courtroom. Courts are public spaces, and public access to the state’s justice system will only increase the public’s familiarity with and trust in the system. Thumbs down: To NHL referee Stephen Walkom, the official who gave Blackhawks fans fits Wednesday. Walkom called a phantom penalty on the Hawks’ Brandon Saad, which wiped away what would have been the game-winning goal with 1:48 left in Game 7 of the Hawks playoff series with the Detroit Red Wings. Hawks fans went from jubilation to anger and disbelief, then suffered through 3:35 of overtime. The Hawks prevailed, 2-1, on an overtime goal by Brent Seabrook, which should make the whole incident a footnote in Chicago sports history rather than a folly of Bartman-sized proportions. Thumbs up: To the Wally Thurow Tribute Committee, which is raising money to erect a bronze statue of Mr. Pumpkin in downtown Sycamore. Thurow, who founded Sycamore’s annual Pumpkin Festival in 1962, died last year. The committee is dedicated to raising about $75,000 to build the statue of Thurow wearing his signature top hat and Lions Club vest and sitting on his high-wheel bicycle. Preliminary talks with the city of Sycamore have established the spot for the monument at the northwest corner of Elm and Somonauk streets. We applaud the committee and their dedication to a special community tradition. Tax-deductable donations can be made to the Wally Thurow Tribute Committee through the DeKalb County Community Foundation, 475 DeKalb Ave., Sycamore, IL 60178. Thumbs down: To the threat posed to the DeKalb County Marines’ Toys for Tots program. If no one volunteers by the end of June to coordinate the program, which distributes Christmas presents for 2,500 to 3,000 local children from poor families, it will have to go on hold this year. “No one wants to drop it, but it takes someone with the time and the – you need a certain amount of will involved,” DeKalb County Marines Treasurer Stefan Kristen said. “It’s a big job.” Our hats are off to all volunteers who invest incredible amounts of time and energy, at no pay, to make such programs work. Here’s hoping one of those amazing individuals comes forward soon.

Silence from IRS official not helpful Try invoking the Fifth Amendment when an IRS auditor asks about your income taxes. Then watch that auditor chuckle, double down and dig deeper. Last week, a top official with the IRS who headed the division that targeted conservative groups for extra scrutiny pleaded the Fifth when brought before a House investigative committee for questioning. That’s her right. But it wasn’t a pretty sight. And it sure doesn’t help the public get at the root of why the IRS engaged in what appears to be a political witch hunt. “If you refuse to answer, you will leave us no choice but to ask for a special counsel or the appointment of a special prosecutor to get to the bottom of this,” said U.S. Rep. Stephen Lynch. He’s a Democrat from Massachusetts. In other words, he’s not one of those partisan Republicans that the Obama administration blames for everything that’s wrong. “I hope that’s not the approach of the IRS going forward because there will be hell to pay,” Lynch added. To which Lois Lerner, the director of the IRS’ tax-exempt organization divisions, replied, “I have not done anything wrong. ... I will not answer any questions or testify about the subject matter.” Such stonewalling, sadly, is par for the course right now for the Internal Revenue Service. The Justice Department, which has already snooped on The Associated Press reporters and dogged a Fox News reporter like he was a common criminal, is opening a criminal investigation of the IRS targeting. It will be interesting to see how aggressive that investigation is and what the feds turn up. That’s why what Lynch said makes sense. Bring in a special prosecutor. Yes, there’s a risk involved. Special prosecutors can get carried away, spend a lot of money and have little to show for their work. But sometimes, you need someone who’s independent to get to the bottom of a cesspool. Government officials don’t make scandals go away when they use the silent treatment. Like IRS auditors who become bulldogs when someone clams up, it makes the public hungrier for the truth.

Spartans’ offense on fire in postseason All 3 playoff wins have been by 10-run mercy rule

Rain delay made for a long night in St. Louis The Royals and Cardinals should have known something was up when the first pitch was delayed an hour by rain. The game moved quickly after that – right up until the top of the ninth inning, with the Royals leading and the rain back in force. Umpire crew chief Joe West had a decision to make. With the game the last one between the two teams this season, a new rule added this year allowed West to call the game in a decision that would wipe out the top of the ninth and give the Cardinals a 2-1 win, based on the score from the previous completed inning. West chose to wait out the rain. And wait. And wait some more. After 4½ hours, the game resumed shortly after 3 a.m. and the final out came at 3:14 a.m. Kansas City left for a series in Texas and the Cardinals went home to sleep a bit before a home series against San Francisco. The umpiring crew? They had a matinee in Chicago, with the first pitch scheduled only 10 hours after the final out in St. Louis. “We worry about that game when we get to that one,” West told reporters. “We had to worry about this game.” Cubs manager Dale Sveum shrugged off any concerns about sleep-deprived umpires calling Friday’s game against Arizona. “Sometimes we get in at 3:15 in the morning. They don’t have to get to the park that early, so they get plenty of sleep,” he said of the umpires. “That’s not something that’s going to dictate the game.” The near-capacity crowd of 43,916 was down to a couple hundred hardy souls when the game ended. “I wasn’t sure we were going to get that game in, and to lose in that fashion after coming back in the ninth inning wouldn’t have been right,” said Royals manager Ned Yost. – Wire report

8WHAT TO WATCH NHL playoff Los Angeles at Blackhawks, 4 p.m., NBCSN The Hawks and Kings are poised for what could be a tight and lengthy series. The Kings already have more playoff losses than they did a year ago when they went on a 16-4 run through the playoffs to capture the Stanley Cup as an eighth seed. The Hawks? All they did was rally from a 3-1 deficit to beat Detroit in the conference semifinals, taking Game 7, 2-1, on Brent Seabrook’s overtime goal to remain in the hunt for their second title in four years.

Class 4A Prairie Ridge Sectional title at 11 a.m. today against Warren. The Barbs didn’t really have a natural shortstop, and coach Jeff Davis knew Townsend had experience at third base and thought she was athletic enough to play short. She played well in 2012. But at the start of this season, Townsend struggled with her

CHICAGO – Welcome to June Madness. Sure, the NCAA Final Four is fun and all, but how many of us can name a player on Wichita State? How many of us watched more than one Syracuse game all season? Now, this ... this is a final four we can appreciate. In one corner, we have the Blackhawks (2010 Stanley Cup champions) facing off against the Los Angeles Kings (2012 champions). In the opposite corner, we have the Pittsburgh Penguins (2009 champions) facing off against the Boston Bruins (2011 champions). May the best champ win. Game 1 Note that I wrote “best champ,” not vs. Los Angeles, “heaviest champ.” Because if the Western 4 today, NBCSN, Conference finals were AM-720, 97.9-FM a Big Fella contest, the Kings would devour the Hawks in a fourgame sweep. “They’ve got big guys that can throw the body around,” Hawks forward Marian Hossa said. Feast your eyes upon the Kings’ assortment of Big and Tall clientele: • Dustin Penner: 6-foot-5, 245 pounds • Dwight King: 6-4, 232 pounds • Anze Kopitar: 6-3, 225 pounds • Jordan Nolan: 6-3, 225 pounds • Jeff Carter: 6-4, 210 pounds And those are just a few of the Los Angeles forwards. Nevermind the cadre of big-bodied defensemen. By comparison, the Hawks’ forwards look like lightweights. Hard-hitting veteran Bryan Bickell (6-4, 233) is a noted carnivore, and Michal Handzus (6-5, 215) can flatten an opponent, but the core of the team is focused on changing the scoreboard, not tipping the scales. Remember how the St. Louis Blues tried to bully the Hawks and slow the pace of the game during five regular-season meetings?

GREAT MIDWEST FOOTBALL LEAGUE: ILLINOIS CHAOS

Local talent catching on with Illinois Chaos By STEVE NITZ snitz@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Tyrel Williams hasn’t played an organized football game since DeKalb High School’s heartbreaking playoff loss at Rock Island in 2010. When he heard the Illinois Chaos, a semi-pro football team previously known as the Kane County Chaos, was moving to DeKalb, the former Barb jumped at the Monica Maschak – mmaschak@shawmedia.com opportunity. Williams, who Illinois Chaos quarterback Wade Over- graduated from DeKalb High ton of DeKalb runs the ball during a prac- in 2011, attended a meeting tice Thursday at the DeKalb Sports and and decided to join the team.

The Chaos play a 10-game regular-season schedule.

The home opener is the lone game at Huntley. The Chaos will play their final four home contests at DeKalb High School. Williams got to practice on the new field in 2010, but he finally will have the opportunity to play a competitive game at the new facility. “I think it’ll be pretty fun,” he said after Thursday’s Chaos practice at the DeKalb Sports and Recreation Center. “They had us practice on there [in 2010]. We were the first ones to practice on it, but we never played on it.” Williams isn’t the only Chaos player from the area.

Others include former Barb Dalton Watie, who also was on DeKalb’s first playoff qualifier since 1989, and Catron Puckett, who graduated from Hiawatha in 2011. Chris Mathews played high school ball at Dunbar in Chicago and graduated from Northern Illinois University in 2011. He has been living in town since 2007 and said he thought DeKalb would be a good spot for the Chaos, noting the program could be more community-oriented here as opposed to Aurora.

BLACKHAWKS NOTES

NBA

GM Bowman knows ‘puzzle’ awaits By TOM MUSICK tmusick@shawmedia.com CHICAGO – Blackhawks general manager Stan Bowman knows that tough decisions await as some of his players prepare to test the market as unrestricted free agents. “We’ve been planning for that all along,” Bowman said Friday after the Hawks practiced at Johnny’s IceHouse West. “It’s something we’re accustomed to.” But Bowman wouldn’t mind putting those plans on hold for a little while longer. The Hawks GM made a rare appearance in front of news media members as his team prepared for Game 1 of the Western Conference finals

against the Los Angeles Kings. Bowman praised coach Joel Quenneville, goaltender Corey Crawford and others while deflecting questions about pending free agents such as Bryan Bickell, Viktor Stalberg and Ray Emery. After a great postseason, it’s possible Bickell might have surpassed the Stan Bowman Hawks’ price range. Long-term contracts with core players such as Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane, Marian Hossa, Patrick Sharp and Duncan Keith likely will limit the Hawks’ ability to spend money this summer. “It’s a puzzle you have to put

together,” Bowman said. “You don’t have all the information yet. You can’t just have one plan. You have a few different things that you’re working on.” In between, Bowman enjoyed watching the Hawks overcome a 3-1 series deficit against Detroit. “It wasn’t easy,” Bowman said. “Obviously, they were all close games. But I guess ‘proud’ would be the word. “We know what these guys can do. We still have a lot of work left to do. Short rest: During most NHL postseasons, a team would be at a disadvantage if it had to regroup for another series only two days after completing a hard-fought, seven-game marathon. However, in this case, both

Kings will follow Blues’ blueprint

Bears TE Evan Rodriguez ticketed for DUI CHICAGO – Illinois State Police said Bears tight end Evan Rodriguez has been ticketed for driving under the influence, speeding and improper lane usage. Authorities said Rodriguez was ticketed early Friday on Interstate 90, near downtown Chicago. The incident was the second encounter the 24-year-old Rodriquez has had with police this year. In March, Rodriguez was charged with disorderly intoxication and resisting an officer in Miami. Those charges eventually were dropped. The Bears said Friday that they were aware of Friday’s incident. The team said it was gathering information.

Haas leads as Woods falters at Memorial DUBLIN, Ohio – Bill Haas played the best golf in the toughest conditions Friday in the rain-delayed Memorial. When the second round was suspended as dark clouds rolled in and forced the third stoppage in play, Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy were close to each other on the leaderboard, even if they were miles away from Haas, who had a 5-under-par 67. That didn’t bode well for Woods, the five-time Memorial winner who had a most peculiar round in wind and on fast greens at Muirfield Village. He three-putted from 5 feet for double bogey on the par-5 15th, chopped up the final hole for a bogey and wound up with a 74 and his worst 36-hole total (145) at the Memorial since he first played it in 1997. McIlroy was in danger of missing the cut until he fired off five birdies, looking more comfortable with his putts and attacking with his driver. He was 4 under for his round and one shot inside the cut line – and one shot behind Woods. McIlroy was in a greenside bunker in two shots at the par-5 15th when play was stopped.

OSU trustees: More gaffes could mean dismissal COLUMBUS, Ohio – The president of Ohio State University could be fired for any more verbal gaffes, trustees told him in a letter that said his mockery of Notre Dame, Roman Catholics and the Southeastern Conference have embarrassed and divided the university and run the risk of diminishing the effectiveness of its efforts. Trustees warned Gordon Gee that comments or actions he makes detracting from Ohio State’s core values are not productive and are unacceptable, according to a copy of the March 11 letter obtained Friday by The Associated Press. – From staff, wire reports

the Hawks and the Kings had little time to rest. “They played Game 7, too,” Hawks forward Marian Hossa said in reference to the Kings’ series with the San Jose Sharks. “They’re in the same boat. “We have to make sure we are ready to play. We know how hard they’re going to come out in the first couple of shifts in the first game, so we have to be sure we’re ready for them.” Hawks bits: Today’s game will be broadcast on NBC Sports Network and FM-97.9 WLUP. The game also will air on WGN AM-720 until the start of the Cubs’ game. … Speaking of the Cubs, Bickell said he spent his off day at Wrigley Field watching the North Siders beat the White Sox.

Next vs. Arizona, 6:15 p.m. today, FOX, AM-720

The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – Scott Hairston and Matt Garza kept the Cubs on a roll. Hairston hit a grand slam, Garza got his first victory of the season and the Cubs extended their winning streak to five games by defeating the Arizona Diamondbacks, 7-2, on Friday. Alfonso Soriano had a tworun homer and Cody Ransom added a solo shot for the Cubs, who scored all their runs on homers and have won five straight for the first time since winning seven in a row from July 31 to Aug. 6, 2011. The Cubs still are in fourth place in the NL Central, but they’ve shown signs of a turnaround. Starting with a comeback

5-4 win Sunday at Cincinnati that ended a six-game skid, the Cubs have outscored opponents 36-12 and have a plus-11 run differential, which is seventh-best in the NL. “We’re playing catch-up to everyone else, but the fact of the matter is it’s still a long season,” Cubs manager Dale Sveum said. “You’ve seen it before when teams can win 15 in a row, 14 out of 16, something like that and all of a sudden before you know it, you’re right back in it and starting to have a lot of fun.” The Cubs had plenty of fun Friday, and the win looked similar to their three victories over the White Sox when they outscored their rivals 24-6. Hairston’s grand slam was

the second in two games for the Cubs and was the highlight of a five-run third off Arizona starter Wade Miley (3-5). Pitcher Travis Wood hit one Thursday in a win over the Sox. It also gave them grand slams in consecutive games at Wrigley Field for the first time since Jim Hickman and Burt Hooton did it Sept. 15 and 16, 1972, against the Mets. “I think confidence has a lot to do with it,” Hairston said. “The weather’s getting warmer and the wind’s blowing out. It makes you feel better as a hitter.” Garza (1-0), who also was making his first home start of the season, bounced back from his previous start, when he gave up four runs in four innings Sunday in Cincinnati. In his third start of the season since coming off the disabled list with a strained back muscle, Garza pitched seven innings and allowed two runs and six hits while striking out four for his first victory since July 15 of last season.

It was a smart plan, except it didn’t work, because the Blues could not score goals no matter how many crunching hits they delivered. The Kings will follow a similar blueprint. “Watching them in the playoffs, that’s where you really can get your best scouting reports,” said Hawks winger Patrick Kane, who measures in at 5-11, 181 pounds. “It’s almost like they’re a better St. Louis Blues. “They play physical [and] have players that can score. When they do play physical, it seems to work to their advantage. “Against them, we’ll try to worry about what we have to do. If we play our game, play the fast-paced game we’ve been playing the past few games, it should work well for us.” It’s worked so far – hairy second-round comeback aside. No team in the Western Conference scored more goals during the regular season than the Hawks. No team won more games at home. No team won more games on the road. Then again, no team has knocked the Kings out of the playoffs in almost two full years. “They’re big, and they do a good job protecting the net,” Hawks forward Patrick Sharp said. “They’re physical, as well, so we’ve got to be aware of that. Hopefully, we can use our speed and our skill to kind of neutralize that.” Sharp had one more point to make. “This is all just talk,” Sharp said. “We’ll see what happens this series.” Among every comment uttered before Game 1, Sharp’s final thought carried the most weight.

After win, Nadal says schedule ‘not fair’ The Associated Press PARIS – Rafael Nadal wanted to get a few things off his chest. Not about the quality of his play Friday, which fell below his usual standards at Roland Garros – for the second match in a row, he dropped a lethargic opening set before winning. What really bothered the usually affable Nadal was the way the French Open’s scheduling decisions, and the weather, combined to force him to now play on consecutive days, while his third-round opponent today, Italy’s Fabio Fognini, was “watching the TV in

the locker room” Friday. “That’s not fair,” Nadal said, his arms crossed, his voice stern. “This is not right,” the seven-time champion in Paris said moments later, shaking his head and arching his left eyebrow. What flus- Rafael Nadal tered Nadal, basically, was that his 4-6, 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 victory over Martin Klizan of Slovakia was supposed to be played Thursday but wound up being postponed because of rain – in part because it was the third match slated for its court.

The 27th-seeded Fognini’s second-round victory win over Lukas Rosol, meanwhile, was No. 2 on its court and finished Thursday. Nadal’s point: When there’s rain in the forecast, everything possible should be done to ensure that two matches whose winners will face each other next should be completed on the same day. Nadal also didn’t like that while Fognini-Rosol followed one women’s match – which, because they are best-of-threesets, tend to be shorter than the men’s best-of-five – on Thursday’s program, Nadal-Klizan followed both a men’s match and a women’s match. His

match should have taken priority on a day when showers made rescheduling likely, Nadal argued, because if women “have to play two days in a row, (it) is not a big deal.” Ana Ivanovic, the 2008 French Open women’s champion, sided with Nadal on that point, saying men should “get more time to recover.” “Especially now, when he has to play day after day, I think he’s right. They should play early,” Ivanovic said after reaching the fourth round with a 6-3, 6-2 win against Virginie Razzano, the Frenchwoman who stunned Serena Williams in the first round last year.

defense, which in turn carried over to her offense. So in early May, Townsend decided she needed to do what she felt would make the team better. She talked to Davis about moving to the outfield, where she played as a freshman and her primary position during travel ball with the Wasco Diamonds. Davis understood, told Townsend he appreciated all the work she put in at short, and not long after, Townsend was DeKalb’s starting left fielder with Sarah Friedlund taking over at shortstop. “I just talked to my coach about it because I wasn’t really feeling comfortable there, I wasn’t doing my best,” Townsend said. “So, I wanted to go back to the outfield, that’s where I’m comfortable.” Townsend hasn’t made an error since switching positions, and will take over in center next season after Sabrina Killeen graduates. Davis said Townsend approaching him and offering to change positions took a lot of courage. “I do believe that was pretty big of her,” Davis said. “Very mature of her. I do think that she could see what was best for the team, and it shows great responsibility and leadership.” With Townsend in left, Killeen in center and freshman Morgan Newport in right field, Davis said the Barbs have one of the best outfields in the state. “It’s great; we have great outfielders,” Townsend said. “I love playing out there with them.” Davis said Townsend’s athletic ability really transfers to the outfield. He said she just has a knack for the ball, has great judgment and possesses a shortstop’s arm – Davis said she can hit the catcher on only one hop. “There’s just so many things,” Davis said. “Just her ability to play that position and cover the gaps.” Townsend’s offense also has come on since her move

Warren got off to a great start in the semifinal victory over McHenry, blasting two first-inning homers and never looked back. The Blue Devils’ last sectional title came in 1980. Outlook: DeKalb starter Katie Kowalski was perfect the first three innings in Wednesday’s win over Harlem, but struggled with her control in the fourth before being relieved. Barbs coach Jeff Davis said Kowalski will start today. If she gets into trouble, freshman Morgan Newport, who earned the win in the semifinal, is available to take over. DeKalb has the hitting and the pitching to win a sectional title, and the Barbs’ defense has been great throughout the postseason, as well. - Steve Nitz, snitz@shawmedia.com, @ SNitz_DDC to the outfield, and she plays a key role in the Barbs’ order. Townsend hit seventh in DeKalb’s 4-3 regional semifinal win over Harlem on Wednesday and came around to score on Killeen’s two-run double that tied the score in the fourth inning. “Making errors and mistakes, it carries over into your at-bats, and you’re just like negative,” Townsend said. “I think being in the outfield definitely helps my batting.”

Nate Haacker hits the ball in the second inning of a Class 3A Sycamore Sectional semifinal against Rockford East on Thursday in Sycamore. The Spartans shut out the E-Rabs, 10-0, in six innings.

Nelson scheduled to start today’s championship game • SPARTANS Continued from page B1 Sectional final against St. Francis (22-11) at 11 a.m. today at Sycamore Community Park. Sycamore has forced the 10run mercy rule in every playoff game. “After the Rockford East game, I could see a storm on the horizon moving in fast and didn’t want to have the players stuck out on the field,” said Cavanaugh, who is trying to guide the Spartans to their first sectional title in his 17th season. “I didn’t get to give a postgame speech, so I sent a text just to let them know how proud I was of them. I don’t usually talk for more than a minute anyway. A postgame speech is for a coach, not a player. “But this is a great group of seniors. I haven’t had more fun with another group of guys. They’ve been positive since Day One.” Cole Nelson (7-0, 2.09 ERA) is scheduled to start against St. Francis and looks to be aided by a Sycamore offense that finally has hit its stride. The Spartans had a seven-game

Class 3A Sycamore Sectional final SYCAMORE (25-11) VS. ST. FRANCIS (22-11) Where: Sycamore Community Park When: 11 a.m. today How they got here: Sycamore def. Rochelle, 13-1, in Rochelle Regional semifinal; def. Rock Falls, 12-2, in regional final; def. Rockford East, 10-0, in Sycamore Sectional semifinal. St. Francis def. Plano, 6-3, in Kaneland Regional semifinal; def. Kaneland, 3-2, in regional final; def. Burlington Central, 2-1, in Sycamore Sectional semifinals Scouting St. Francis: St. Francis has managed to get by, playing close game after close game in the postseason. The Spartans needed nine innings to fend off Burlington Central in the semifinal and was forced to use its other starting pitchers. Outlook: Sycamore is looking for its first sectional championship in school history. The Spartans won regional titles in 2008 and 2010, but last appeared in a sectional championship in 2004, when the IHSA featured only two classes. Cole Nelson will take the mound for Sycamore after Scott Nelson pitched a shutout against Rockford East. - Ross Jacobson, rjacobson@shawmedia.com, @DC_Preps

winning streak this season, but rarely have the starting pitchers had the extensive run support they’ve enjoyed in the playoffs. For left fielder Davey Scholz, Sycamore simply started to do the “little things” better on offense – even as the wind blew in against Rockford East. “We really have focused

up in the playoffs,” Scholz said. “We’ve for sure hit better in the postseason. We’ve got more focus at the plate. We are doing whatever possible to score runs. We are hot at the right time.” St. Francis won the Kaneland Regional and beat Burlington Central, 2-1, in nine innings Wednesday to set up Saturday’s all-Spartans final

(both schools share the nickname). St. Francis was forced to use three pitchers, and the Sycamore coaching staff was able to scout Jack Petrando and Andrew Brundage, both potential starters for today who were pressed into relief action against the Rockets. Whoever starts for St. Francis, Cavanaugh sounds like a stockbroker and a baseball coach when asked to describe Sycamore’s offensive renaissance. “We are getting production up and down our lineup,” Cavanaugh said. “There’s no automatic out. It’s a great time for us to have a market correction. Mitchell Jordan is hitting the cover off the ball. He’s hitting everything on the barrel and is locked in. It seems like he’s always up with two out and two on and coming up with the big hit. “Our approach has been up the middle, and we are hitting breaking balls. What were loud, long fouls are now splitting the gaps in left and right center. If we are early, it’s a double down the left-field line. It’s always been a mindset for us any offensive struggles were never physical.”

Illinois Chaos receiver Jordan Uveges of Bartlett runs the ball during practice Thursday at the DeKalb Sports and Recreation Center.

Flag from World Trade Center will be at a game • CHAOS Continued from page B1 “I’ve seen so much talent out here,” Mathews said. “I felt there was too much talent out here to not bring the team out here.” Semi-professional players actually pay a fee to play, and are able to keep their college eligibility. Players on teams such as the Chaos have the opportunity to earn a college scholarship or play in various arena leagues such as af2. “Basically, I want to get noticed, so I took this route,” Williams said. “I just want to get noticed right now.” Single game tickets for the Chaos are $7, while season ticket packages also are available, with an individual season ticket running at $30. When the Chaos take on the Missouri Cyclones at 6:15 p.m. on July 6, fans will have the opportunity to get a look at the National 9/11 Flag, which flew above the wreck-

age at ground zero and has been stitched together using parts of other famous flags. Chaos coach Lloyd Hatcher’s father, Lloyd Sr., was a firefighter in River Forest for 23 years, and was part of the New York Says Thank You Foundation, which has worked with restoring the flag. Hatcher wanted to be able to pay tribute to his father, but also give the community a chance to see a piece of history. “It’s something I feel is ... going to help the Chaos put its name on the map in DeKalb, but as well build it’s relationship with the community, say, ‘Listen, we’re not just some fly-by-night team, we’re here to stay,’ ” Hatcher said. “We want to be part of the community, we want to give back to the community. And by bringing this flag, it’s just a great opportunity to do that and show the community what were able to do.”

FAMILY TIME | On the move? Use these packing tips

Tip of the week Let’s face it - moving is hard. Along with the stress of leaving a familiar place and adapting to new surroundings, moving means packing, loading, transporting, unloading and unpacking everything you own - as well as everything you forgot you owned. While relocation may never be completely carefree, there are ways to ease the anxiety. A well-thought-out approach to boxing up belongings can help simplify the moving process and

bring you one step closer to making your new house a home. • Box it up. To be prepared for packing, seek out a large quantity of clean, sturdy containers in a variety of shapes and sizes. When selecting boxes, you may choose to purchase new ones, helping to ensure they can withstand the rigors of moving. You also can purchase dividers, which come in handy for packing glasses and other small, fragile items. No matter what you are using, remember not to over-pack. As a general rule, heavier items should be placed into smaller boxes to avoid too much strain on the box (and your back). • Leave it. The easiest packing is no packing at all. Moving is the perfect time to clear the clutter out of your life. Before boxing up your belongings, decide what to keep. Clothing and housewares in good shape can be donated, and broken or unused old items can be tossed or given to someone who can repurpose them. • Mind the supplies. The right tools can go a long way toward easing the

moving process. Pick up plenty of quality wrapping material as well as strong packaging tape to help make boxing up your belongings a painless process. • Organize and prioritize. Pack from room to room and label boxes based on box contents, where boxes will be unpacked in the new location and priority. • Get help. Be organized to help the entire moving day run smoothly, so that your volunteers aren’t waiting around for a job to do. Providing tasty snacks and drinks is a thoughtful way to say thank you, as are gift cards for coffee, movie theaters or their favorite stores. • Pack a survival kit. Moving can be exhausting, and an all-day move may not wrap up until late in the evening. Don’t spend your first night in your new home unpacking. Instead, pack a survival kit or an “Open Me First” box with essentials to get you through that first night. Make sure to include some fun items, such as your favorite movie or a batch of brownies, to reward

Summer’s near – gardening checklist for June By BARBARA LINDHOLM DeKalb County Master Gardener May certainly was a month of varied weather patterns. It was very difficult trying to figure out the best system to successfully manage the care of our plants. Hopefully, June will offer a more consistent weather situation.

Woody plant care Evergreens may be lightly pruned after the new growth has filled in to maintain the desired shape of the tree. If not already taken care of, trees can be mulched remembering to keep mulch 6 inches away from the trunk. Prune spring-flowering shrubs immediately after flowering if needed.

HOW DOES YOUR GARDEN GROW? Pinch off terminal buds on rhododendrons to increase next year’s flower buds. Mid-June is a good time to put on a second application of 20-20-20 fertilizer as roses finish their early bloom period. Rugosa and shrub roses do not need this second application. Deadheading roses is recommended as blooms fade.

Annual and perennial care Spent blooms on annuals and perennials can be removed to encourage new growth. Check tall annuals, perennials and vines to see if they

need staking or trellis support to avoid wind damage. Annuals in hanging baskets can be fertilized with a quarter-strength fertilizer every 7 to 10 days. Both spring and summer flowering bulbs need to have yellowing leaves carefully removed. This month, you can continue to pinch back sedums, mums, and fall asters for better fall bloom.

Fruit and vegetable gardening Raspberries should be ready for harvest in June. It is time for cool-season lettuces and vegetables to be harvested. Plant pumpkins now for fall harvest. Pinch top growth of herbs

to keep them from flowering. Mulch vegetable gardens to maintain a good moisture level.

Lawn care Mowing to a height of 2 to 3 inches is recommended in June. Bare areas of turf can be seeded. Keep the area moist until germination occurs. Early morning watering is recommended.

June tip To buy or not to buy has been the main question this year when it comes to the very popular impatiens plant. Downy mildew disease is threatening many forms of the impatiens family including double and mini impatiens, balsam impatiens,

garden balsam, rose balsam and native wild impatiens. New Guinea impatiens are resistant to this disease. If you have planted impatiens where there was no sign of this disease last year or if you purchased your impatiens from a nursery that has no history of downy mildew, here are some tips to keep your impatiens healthy. Be sure that there is plenty of space between your impatiens to allow for good air circulation. Don’t plant in deep shade. Do not water overhead if possible. Try a soaker hose if you have one. Downy mildew presents as leaf curl and light-gray fuzz on the underside of the leaf. If you see these signs, pull the plant out immediately and destroy it. It cannot be saved. This year, you may want

to consider alternate planting choices. For full to partial shade, consider coleus, fuchsia, caladiums or tuberous begonias. Good alternatives for partial shade to full sun include small forms of begonias, browallia, flowering vinca, lobelia, annual salvia or flowering tobacco. Remember that New Guinea impatiens are safe to plant.

• The Master Gardeners are available to answer your questions from 9 a.m. to noon Monday through Friday at the University of Illinois Extension DeKalb County office located in the Farm Bureau Center for Agriculture, 1350 W. Prairie Drive in Sycamore. Call 815-758-8194 or email DeKalb_mg@extension.uiuc.edu. Walk-ins are welcome.

A new sign designed and crafted by blacksmiths at the Joseph F. Glidden Homestead & Historical Center was unveiled at the museum May 18. The ornate hand-forged iron sign frame was designed by Lucio Bortolin, who is a working blacksmith and member of the Glidden Homestead’s board of directors. For more than a year, Bortolin donated time and space in the workshop of his business, F2 Industries in Sycamore, where blacksmiths created the frame. 3D Designs of Sycamore produced the sign insert at or near wholesale, as another of the homestead’s sponsors. A reception followed the unveiling. In attendance were DeKalb Mayor John Rey, city council members Dave Baker and Robert Snow, and Anita Zurbrugg, representing the DeKalb County Community Foundation. A grant from the foundation helped make the new sign possible. “This event has great historical significance for our community. The sign will not only improve the Homestead’s visibility, drawing many more people to our museum to learn about barbed wire, but also will help

us preserve this site for future generations as Joseph Glidden’s legacy,” she said at the event. “The frame for the sign was masterfully crafted by our local blacksmiths who showcased artisan skills that carry the great traditions of the craft dating back to Joseph Glidden’s time. It was Glidden’s good friend the blacksmith Phineas Vaughan who helped him construct machinery to produce the barbed wire. Today, our local blacksmiths carry on that tradition and spent many long hours creating this beautiful sign. Their work displays tangible proof that this skill still exists,” Henrikson said. The new sign is located in the front yard at the Glidden Homestead at 921 W. Lincoln Highway, between Copy Service and Burger King. The Homestead is the site where Joseph Glidden invented and manufactured “The Winner” barbed wire, for which he received a patent on Nov. 24, 1874.

Gardeners paint the town with flowers The University of Illinois Extension DeKalb County Master Gardeners grabbed their shovels and fertilizer and teamed up to plant more than 50 containers in downtown DeKalb. The group annually collaborates with the city of DeKalb. Master Gardener Randy Moseley, who heads up the project with the help of city workers, said this year’s planting was delayed because of the threat of frost. About 15 Master Gardeners volunteered to plant the large stone bowls throughout the central business district. City employee Judy Schneider designs the containers each year with more than two dozen varieties of annuals. Schneider says it’s a challenge to find combinations that will hold up to the wind and heat in the downtown area. “It’s always rewarding to see the

flowers bloom at their peak,” she said in a news release. Master Gardener Mike Van Buer was looking forward to lending a hand in the Van Buer Plaza, named in memory of his father, Frank Van Buer, former mayor of DeKalb who died in 2008. The mission of the Master Gardener program is “Helping Others Learn to Grow.” Master Gardeners help people find sound management practices for home and urban natural resources, create aesthetically pleasing environments, promote well-being through people-plant interactions and horticultural therapy, and contribute to a safe, abundant food supply through home fruit and vegetable production. For more information, call 815-758-8194, email bmacarus@illinois.edu or visit http://web.extension.illinois.edu/bdo/.

Youth Service Bureau bike auction raises nearly $4,500

Honoring Loredo

On Memorial Day, members of Custom Fit paid tribute to a fallen soldier by completing a “hero” workout called “Loredo.” Hero workouts are considered to be the toughest of them all and are designed to honor fallen soldiers. U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Edwardo Loredo, 34, of Houston, Texas, was assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 82d Airborne Division, based in Fort Bragg, N.C. He was killed on June 24, 2010, in Jelewar, Afghanistan, when insurgents attacked his unit with an improvised explosive device.

DeKalb County Youth Service Bureau held its 11th annual Spring Bike Auction and Garage Sale fundraiser on May 18. The event raised nearly $4,500, as 200 people purchased all 195 bikes up for auction. Bikes were donated by the city of DeKalb, the city of Sycamore and members of the community. “The weather was beautiful and we had a great turnout,” YSB Executive Director Jason Nicol said in a news release. “We had a record number of bikes donated this year. It was a great day.” Proceeds support YSB programming, which includes counseling, 24-hour runaway and lockout assistance, drug and alcohol abuse prevention, school suspension and more. YSB’s mission is to assist youth as they build healthy lives and relationships with their family, friends and community. “My husband and I loved coming to the bike auction. We like to bike to the grocery

good cause,” Becky Zantout of Sycamore said in the release. “All the proceeds go to YSB, so we felt great buying bikes.”

The Collins Dental Group is helping increase DeKalb County’s awareness of good oral health practices and habits during National Smile Month, May 20 through June 20. The public education campaign focuses on three key messages: brushing teeth twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste; regular dentist visits; and cutting back on sugary foods and drinks. National Smile Month is one of the biggest nonprofit dental health events in Europe. It is run by the British Dental Health Foundation. In the United States, the event is observed informally, but that isn’t stopping the Collins Dental Group from launching a month-long celebration of

The doctors, hygienists and staff have all embraced the campaign and are taking pictures of themselves with the Smileys to post online with educational messages. Patients are encouraged to have their picture taken with the Smileys so the practice can post them on its Facebook page. Patients can then tag them and share the photographs with their family and friends, helping to increase awareness of the campaign’s key messages. Collins Dental Group will bring the campaign and Smileys to upcoming local events, including the city of Sycamore’s Ladies Night Out on June 6.

TODAY – Because of a strong desire to help others, you could be busier than ever in the months ahead. Your good intentions will yield many rewards. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – There’s a strong chance you could participate in a worthwhile endeavor initiated by two people. It isn’t likely you’ll be invited to take part; you will have to ask. CANCER (June 21-July 22) – To gather some support for an important matter, you need to present your case as ingeniously as you can. Don’t put any limitations on your thinking. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Certain problematical situations can be turned to your advantage. You’ll need to show much initiative and not a little pluck, but you can do it. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – The game isn’t over until the last play. Keep this in mind if you find yourself involved in a competitive development. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – A spurof-the-moment invitation could put you in the company of some very pleasant new acquaintances. This can be a fun day. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Though you prefer to function independently, today you’re likely to accept a last-minute invitation. Surprisingly, you’ll be happy to be a team player. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Things are looking pretty good in terms of favorable financial activity. Don’t stop working on new ways to add to your bank balance. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – The right knowledge is one thing, the right connections are another. Fortunately, you’ll do very well, because you’ll have both. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – It’s time to look at a problematic situation in a fresh way. Innovation will lead to much-needed progress. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – An acquaintance who’s often in an adversarial role will unexpectedly become an ally. Together, you’ll accomplish something very impressive. ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Just when you think everything is going against you, something unexpected, with profitable ramifications, could develop. It pays to never give up. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Be a keen observer and you’ll discover how to deal with a complicated situation. A capable colleague who has handled similar issues in the past could be of great help.

Isolated home-schooler cuts to relieve loneliness Dear Abby: I’m a 16-yearold girl. I am home-schooled with one friend. I’m lonely, sad, mad and depressed. I have always wanted to go to a real school, but it’s not an option for me. My parents are against it. I am always lonely. I don’t know where to turn. I want to meet new people, but I don’t know how, or if my parents will let me do new things. I have been cutting myself for more than a year and have lost all motivation to do my schoolwork. I feel lost. Please help me. – Sad, Mad And Depressed in Bozeman, Mont. Dear Sad, Mad And Depressed: Most parents who homeschool make sure their children are exposed to activities within the community to ensure they engage with people of all ages. They participate in scouting, 4-H, sports, field trips, etc. That you cut yourself to distract yourself from the pain of your isolation is serious. If you have a family doctor, please bring this up with him or her so you can receive the help you need to quit. I’m sure your parents love you and want to protect you, but they appear to be doing it too diligently. At 16, you should be learning to interact with others your age. If you

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips have a relative you trust or feel close to, I’m urging you to talk to that person about this. Perhaps your parents will accept the message from another adult. Dear Abby: My husband brought home a puppy he couldn’t resist. I wanted to make him happy, so I didn’t object. We already have one dog. She’s calm, mature and well-trained. She is also used to our schedule (we both work full-time). We have now decided to try for a baby. The puppy is only 5 months old, and even though it may take months to become pregnant, I’m worried it will be too much stress to train and care for a puppy while I’m pregnant. When I try to discuss this with my husband, he says, “Everything will work out.” I want the best pregnancy possible, but I also don’t want to upset my husband by finding a new family for the puppy. What should I do? – Illinois Dog Lover Dear Dog Lover: Talk to your husband again and stress to him the importance of seeing

that the dog starts obedience classes. While it might be tempting to foist off the responsibility on your husband, you should both be involved so the dog will obey you both. With that accomplished, your pregnancy will be less stressful. Dear Abby: I have been living with a man for 10 months. He is 70 and I am 59. Whenever we go to the grocery store, he winks and smiles at all the young, attractive women. Abby, I am fairly attractive for my age, and I don’t appreciate his making me feel disrespected this way. Other than this, he makes me happy. Most of the time, he denies he does it, except when I catch him red-handed. Is there any hope for this relationship? – Feeling Down in The South Dear Feeling Down: Yes, if you can accept him exactly the way he is and not take what he’s doing personally. He may smile and wink because he thinks he’s being friendly. Or it may be a way of proving to himself that he’s still attractive. As long as it’s just a smile and a wink by the frozen vegetables, I’d say it’s harmless. Dear Abby: We moved my elderly parents into an adult assisted-living center last

year because they were no longer able to safely care for themselves or their home. They have now decided to put their house up for sale. Our problem is that sometimes when we have driven by the house to check that everything’s OK, we have found some of the neighbors enjoying the afternoon sitting on my parents’ front porch. The house has been shown three times, and one of the times another neighbor was in the backyard sitting on the deck. Another time, a neighbor walked into the house during a private showing. We have been as polite as possible in requesting them to please not do this. We finally told them plainly to stay off the property. But it continues. We would hate to post “No Trespassing” signs for fear that a prospective buyer may think there are problems with the neighborhood, and I don’t think a sign would deter these perpetrators. Any ideas on how to get them to stay in their own homes? My sisters and I are starting to think the neighbors don’t want the house to sell so they can enjoy it themselves. – Fed Up in Tennessee Dear Fed Up: Because of the long relationship your par-

ents may have had with these neighbors, ask them once more, firmly and politely, to stop using the property as an extension of theirs. If the request is ignored, it will be time to involve your lawyer, who will have to write these nervy people a strong letter on your behalf. Not only is what they are doing illegal, but if an accident should happen while they are on your property, YOUR family would be liable. Dear Abby: If a doctor is present at a party and another guest takes ill, would it be appropriate to ask the doctor to treat the person? – Curious in Dayton Dear Curious: If the problem is not life-threatening, it would be advisable that the guest contact his or her own doctor, who is already familiar with the person’s medical history. However, in an acute emergency such as a stroke or a heart attack, help should be summoned by calling 911 immediately.

Kneecap pain is usually result of excessive exercise Dear Dr. K: I have pain in my kneecap, right in front of my knee. It hurts to walk down the stairs or even sit for too long. What can I do? Dear Reader: It sounds like you have what is called patellofemoral pain. That’s pain where your kneecap (patella) meets your thighbone (femur). It usually results from overdoing exercise. Fortunately, there’s a lot you can do to prevent and relieve this pain. To understand this condition, here’s a brief anatomy lesson. Sit in a chair, and then lift up your foot (on either leg) and hold your leg straight out. How were you able to do this? A big muscle in the front of your

ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff thigh (your quadriceps, or “quads”) is attached to a tough tendon. The tendon is like a cord; it runs over the top of your knee and attaches to the biggest bone in your lower leg, the tibia. When your quadriceps muscle shortens and tugs on the tendon, it lifts up your lower leg and foot. In the middle of the tendon, right over the knee, is a small bone: the patella, or kneecap. It protects the bones of the knee joint by putting a hard bone in front of them to

take the hit if you fall on your knee. Your patella glides within a groove in the thighbone. Anything that stresses that connection can cause patellofemoral pain. Patellofemoral pain can occur with one-time overuse (such as several sets of tennis when you haven’t played regularly) or from chronic stress. It’s common in people who run a lot, especially on hills. It’s also common in people who play sports involving jumping, or frequent stops or direction changes. Doctors often see it in people who suddenly start to work out much harder and more often. Certain physical characteristics, such as flat feet, can also

contribute. Pain-free exercise is the cornerstone of treatment. A workout plan to relieve or prevent patellofemoral pain should focus on improving strength and flexibility in the tissues around the knee. (I’ve put a selection of appropriate exercises on my website, AskDoctorK. com.) Work with a physical therapist, who can design an individualized exercise program for you. While you’re recovering, don’t do anything that causes pain. If you run, avoid hills, go for shorter distances or substitute other activities. Avoid high-impact exercises and squatting or kneeling. Don’t wear high heels or sit

with your legs bent for too long. Ice and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen (Motrin, others) or naproxen sodium (Aleve, others) can help ease immediate pain. If you have flat feet, you may need additional arch support. If you’re still in pain after more than one year, you may have to consider surgery. Even then, surgery is recommended only if there is an obvious anatomical problem.
