Plans underway for Johnny’s, other Sycamore locations By DAVID THOMAS dthomas@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – The former Johnny’s Charhouse building won’t remain empty for long. At least, that’s the prediction from Ralph Crafton, a real estate broker with Hoffman Realty who was involved with Johnny’s Charhouse since it opened 15 years ago. He said he’s discussing the future of the building at 1950 DeKalb Ave. with potential tenants. “Decisions are being made this week to see how this will be divided up,” Crafton said. “I fully expect a viable business to be in there by the end of the year.” Mike Carpenter, a real estate broker for RVG Milner/Carpenter, said he is also talking with several prospects about that site. The RVG website lists Johnny’s Charhouse as being available for lease at $18 a square foot. With a 7,500-squarefoot building, the annual rent would be $135,000. It would also include flat-screen TVs, walk-in coolers and the decorations and furnishings. The restaurant closed May 12, but the

hole it left along one of Sycamore’s busiest commercial corridors hasn’t dimmed local leaders’ economic outlook. City Manager Brian Gregory said several properties are attracting attention from potential developers and businesses. “We’re seeing a lot of properties that haven’t had successful uses in a number of years turning the corner,” Gregory said. On Monday, the Sycamore City Council approved a measure to allow Shorewood Development Group of Buffalo Grove to demolish the old Kish Corner Family Restaurant at 2496 DeKalb Ave.

The restaurant closed in early 2012. “That’s about a $3.2 million investment in that property, which is welcome news,” Gregory said. The location will become the new home of Physicians Urgent Care, a clinic currently located at 1985 DeKalb Ave., said Louis Schriber, Shorewood Development Group’s founding partner. The majority of the 10,200-square-foot building will be dedicated to the clinic, with the rest of it housing small retail spaces and quick-serve restaurants. Meanwhile, the DeKalb County Economic Development Corporation’s listings of available commercial and industrial spaces throughout the county include mostly office buildings for Sycamore. Carpenter said the supply of office space is higher than normal. “The economy still has been soft,” he said. “We haven’t seen as many new businesses or new jobs being created again.” Carpenter said it is difficult to compare the inventory on the market in 2013 to the inventory on the market when

A 27-year-old attorney accused of exchanging sex for money and office supplies is facing an ethics hearing after an investigator claimed she lied about it. Reema “Nicki” Bajaj pleaded guilty last year to misdemeanor prostitution for a single incident in August 2010, which happened before she became an attorney in November 2010. She dissolved her Maple Park law practice last month, court records show. Bajaj is serving two years of court supervision, and recently filed a lawsuit claiming then-DeKalb County State’s Attorney Clay Campbell and her former defense attorney showed other local attorneys nude photos of her obtained through the criminal investigation. Attorneys from Konicek & Dillon, who represent Bajaj in the ethics case, did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday. Amanda Adams, a DeKalb lawyer representing Bajaj in the civil lawsuit, declined to comment. But last month, a panel of two lawyers and one nonlawyer found there was enough evidence to file ethics charges against her through the Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission. She faces a hearing before a nine-member review board and punishments including a reprimand, suspension or disbarment. The ethics complaint alleges Bajaj met two men through the website Adult Friend Finder, where she identified herself as Nikita. One paid her $200 after meeting her for sex at a DeKalb hotel in 2005, and then met her for sex about 25 times over the next five years, paying her $100 for each meeting, the complaint alleges. She allegedly met the second man in a store parking lot, where he paid her $25 for performing a sex act in 2007,

Police can collect DNA from arrestees, Supreme Court says By JESSE J. HOLLAND The Associated Press WASHINGTON – A sharply divided Supreme Court on Monday cleared the way for police to take a DNA swab from anyone they arrest for a serious crime, endorsing a practice now followed by more than half the states as well as the federal government. The justices differed strikingly on how big a step that was. “Taking and analyzing a cheek swab of the arrestee DNA is, like fingerprinting and photographing, a legit-

imate police booking procedure that is reasonable under the Fourth Amendment,” Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote for the court’s five-justice majority. The ruling backed a Maryland law allowing DNA swabbing of people arrested for serious crimes. But the four dissenting justices said the court was allowing a major change in police powers, with conservative Justice Antonin Scalia predicting the limitation to “serious” crimes would not last. “Make no mistake about it: Because of today’s decision, your DNA can be taken and entered into a national data-

base if you are ever arrested, rightly or wrongly, and for whatever reason,” Scalia said in a sharp dissent which he read aloud in the courtroom. “This will solve some extra crimes, to be sure. But so would taking your DNA when you fly on an airplane – surely the TSA must know the ‘identity’ of the flying public. For

that matter, so would taking your children’s DNA when they start public school.” Maryland Attorney General Doug Gansler agreed that there’s nothing stopping his state from expanding DNA collection from those arrested for serious crimes to those arrested for lesser ones like shoplifting. “I don’t advocate expanding the crimes for which you take DNA, but the legal analysis would be the same,” Gansler said. “The reason why Maryland chooses to only take DNA of violent criminals is that you’re more likely to get a hit on a previous case.

Shoplifters don’t leave DNA behind, rapists do, and so you’re much more likely to get the hit in a rape case.” Twenty-eight states and the federal government now take DNA swabs after arrests. But a Maryland court said it was illegal for that state to take Alonzo King’s DNA without approval from a judge, ruling that King had “a sufficiently weighty and reasonable expectation of privacy against warrantless, suspicionless searches” under the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution. The high court’s decision reverses that ruling and rein-

states King’s rape conviction, which came after police took his DNA during an unrelated arrest. Kennedy, who is often considered the court’s swing vote, wrote the decision along with conservative-leaning Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas. They were joined by liberal-leaning Justice Stephen Breyer, while the dissenters were the conservative-leaning Scalia and liberal Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan.

‘At Any Price:’ The good, bad and ugly

DeKALB COUNTY LIFE Barry Schrader Out of 103,000 residents of DeKalb County there must have been 7,000, give or take a few thousand, who saw the locally-filmed movie “At Any Price” starring Dennis Quaid (as Henry Whipple) and Zac Efron (as his race car-driving son Dean) at the local theater. Probably another 3,000 will rent it on DVD when it becomes available. But the movie was “R” rated so that leaves out a lot of the younger set who would probably like it better than their parents and grandparents. I saw it two times. The first was the Friday night it debuted in DeKalb County with friends from Oak Crest DeKalb Area Retirement Center where one couple shown in the movie (Jane and the late Wilbur Bastian) resided. The second time was the next day with family. The first night had a theater full of people either included in the film as extras, or friends and families of those in the film. There was a lot of applause and cheering when they saw familiar faces in one particular scene or another. That was good because theater patrons normally don’t cheer and applaud a movie like spectators at a sporting event. Kudos are due Dennis Quaid who did an excellent job of acting and playing the role of the “bad guy.” I remember him most recently as the star of the TV series “Vegas” which unfortunately was canceled before its first season ended. The third thing to like about the movie was the thousands of dollars it brought to DeKalb County Photo provided businesses, a church and farms.

Storm chasing critical, profitable and dangerous By SEAN MURPHY The Associated Press OKLAHOMA CITY – While most people hunker down when a tornado approaches, a growing contingent heads for the prairies, be they scientists hoping to protect the public from a twister’s fury or amateurs armed with little more than a smartphone, a digital camera and a desire to sell 15 seconds of video to the nightly news. But the deaths of three respected researchers near Oklahoma City have renewed questions over whether the risk of dashing off into violent storms in Tornado Alley is too great – regardless of the adrenaline rush. “I think there will be some who will step back and say: ‘Am I really doing something safe here?’ ” said Michael Armstrong, a meteorologist for KWTV in Oklahoma City. “I think you’ll probably have others ... that just feel that invincibility that they’ve always felt, and they’ll keep doing what they’re doing and basically look at it as though it was an aberration or an outlier.” Longtime storm chasers Tim Sa-

“I think there will be some who will step back and say: ‘Am I really doing something safe here?’ ” Michael Armstrong Meteorologist for KWTV in Oklahoma City maras, his son Paul and colleague Carl Young were killed Friday when a powerful tornado near El Reno, Okla., turned on them as they were conducting research. The National Tim Samaras Weather Center issued a statement saying they are likely the first “storm intercept fatalities” among researchers. Oklahoma is con- Carl Young sidered the “mecca of storm chasing,” Tim Samaras told National Geographic just last month,

and there are often hundreds of storm chasers lining the roads. Seasoned storm trackers provide critical field data that can’t be gleaned from high-powered Doppler radar, veteran meteorologists say. But they’re increasingly competing with storm-chasing tours, amateur weather enthusiasts inspired by cable TV shows and tornado paparazzi speeding from storm to storm. Many are looking to capture heart-pounding video of a massive, dangerous twister and cash in by selling the footage to television stations or documentary filmmakers. Television stations and other news outlets generally pay up to $500 to use certain video, and storm chasers will reach out to several different ones. Sometimes, they’re not even after money, but hearing their name read aloud on the air. Lanny Dean, a 23-year veteran storm chaser from Tulsa, Okla., charges up to $3,500 to give tourists a 10-day tour during the March through June storm season. He’s seen the industry change with the rise of TV programs documenting deadly storms.

“There are more and more people out there on the road. Many of them should not be,” he said. “We’re talking about individuals who are not experienced and who have no clue what they’re doing. Friday’s event was certainly no exception.” Dean and seven of his tourists were near El Reno last week on the jampacked roads when the deadly twisters began to drop from the sky. “I saw a kid standing in the back of a Chevy pickup truck filming this thing as they’re driving toward the tornado,” Dean said. “I thought, ‘my God, how stupid are these people?’ ” Friday’s storm was particularly treacherous because the rotation was wrapped in rain, made frequent sudden turns and spawned multiple tornadoes. At least 14 people died, including several who were in their vehicles when the tornado hit. “This storm had everything you could handle at one time,” said Rick Smith, warning coordination meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Norman. “This was one of the craziest storms I’ve ever worked.

Commercial center variance Habitat for Humanity breaks OK’d by Sycamore council ground for next DeKalb home By STEPHANIE HICKMAN shickman@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – The demolition and reconstruction of a prominent property along DeKalb Avenue will be underway soon. The Shorewood Development Group plans to buy the .88-acre site on the northeast corner of Route 23 and Gateway Drive to build a commercial center, which will house medical offices, an immediate medical care facility and a potential retailer. The Sycamore City Council unanimously approved a variance request from the Buffalo Grove-based development group Monday to alter the setback requirements of the city’s Unified Development Ordinance for the 10,200-square-foot building and parking lot. With the council’s approval, the Shorewood Group

should be able to begin razing the building at 2492 Gateway Drive by the end of the month, said City Manager Brian Gregory. The entire $3.2 million project is funded by the Shorewood Group. Mayor Ken Mundy said he is excited to see new development at the longtime vacant site, which has been Ken Mundy home to former restaurants including Za Za’s, and most recently Kish Corner Family Restaurant. “There’s some work that needs to be done in that corner,” Mundy said. “We’re always surprised when something doesn’t work there and we think it will.” The commercial center will feature three suites that will face DeKalb Avenue and

have DeKalb Avenue addresses. The Shorewood Group already has a tenant lined up for 4,500-square-feet and is in negotiations with another prospective tenant. Although the site’s previous occupants have struggled, Mundy said he has high hopes for this new development. “That’s a particularly busy area,” he said. “That whole area has become a medical corridor so we anticipate good things.” Alp Haciosmanoglu of the Shorewood Group said the company specializes in commercial and retail developments. The group has two other projects in the works in Countryside and Schaumburg, and they anticipate a total of five projects by the end of the year, he said. This will be the Shorewood Group’s first project in the Sycamore area.

Police: Man bitten in face during fight By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – Two DeKalb residents are facing felony charges after they allegedly attacked three people, include one who was bitten on the cheek, in a DeKalb Park. David A. Mendez, 36, of the 100 block of Heatherfield Lane, plans to ask a judge to reduce his $38,000 bond Wednesday. Mendez, and Heather Mendez, 33, of the same address, were charged with aggravated battery, a felony typically punishable by up to five years in prison. David Mendez also was

arrested Saturday on two warrants alleging he failed to appear in court in connection with charges of driving without a license and domestic battery. Heather Mendez was arrested on an unrelated warrant May 19, authorities said. She posted bond for $1,000 David A. and was reMendez leased the next day. On May 19, Heather Mendez brought David Mendez to Barbland Park, 918 E. Garden St., DeKalb, after she got into

a verbal confrontation with some people playing basketball there, authorities said. David Mendez demanded an apology from a man involved, grabbed him by the neck and pushed him, authorities said. A second man tried to intervene, but David Mendez punched him in the face and bit his cheek, authorities said. A third person tried to intervene, but Heather Mendez punched the person in the face, police said. Both left the scene before the police could find them. Heather Mendez is next due in court June 18.

By DAVID THOMAS dthomas@shawmedia.com DeKALB – For the past seven years, Ann Oduber and her two sons have been living with her grandmother. During that time, she went from being a displaced United Airlines worker to the Christian education coordinator at First Lutheran Church in DeKalb. “I’m a single mom; I have two boys that I have raised on my own,” Oduber said. “I lived quietly and worked hard for them.” And now the Odubers are going to work for a home of their own, with help from volunteers with Habitat for Humanity of DeKalb County. The organization broke ground Sunday at 122 Elm St. in DeKalb, which will be the site of a three-bedroom house with a one-car garage for the Odubers, said Curt Willard, the local chapter president. “We help the family build their house,” Willard said. “They are the main focus of this whole thing.” Ileana Brooks, a member of the group’s board of directors, said the organization builds homes for people who do not make enough money to afford a house and have rough living conditions. “They make enough money to survive, but not enough to get a house,” Brooks said. The family will have to be actively involved in the con-

During each day of construction, a family member or a representative must be present. “This is how it works out,” Willard said. “If you’re there working every Saturday, driving in the nails, putting in the sweat, you have a lot more respect for that house when it’s done.” Oduber said her sons are ready to climb the tree in their front yard. “They’re ready to mow their own lawn,” she added. She said she hopes the experiences her sons have gone through give them a sense of respect for themselves and others. “Women can work and make a better life, despite the odds,” she said.

Willard said the goal is to provide them with affordable housing. “We build lives,” Willard said. “We help families move from one plateau to the next.” After construction is complete and the family has moved in, they then have to pay for materials that weren’t donated, Willard said. Families in DeKalb generally pay around $100,000 for the house. Willard added that organization leaders do not charge interest. “We try to do as much in donations as we possibly can,” he said.

Public invited to weigh Pension reform failures net Ill. credit downgrade in on deer program By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – The Illinois Department of Natural Resources is seeking public input on a program that kills deer infected by chronic wasting disease. The department will hold the second in a series of open houses from 4 to 7 p.m. today at the Hickory Hills Discovery Center, 3795 Campton Hills Road, St. Charles. Department spokesman Tim Schweizer said the program tries to stop the spread of chronic wasting disease by reducing the density of the deer population where the disease is prevalent. The department includes some sharpshooters in the program, he said. “The department has shown it’s an effective way of keeping chronic wasting dis-

ease under control,” Schweizer said. The program isn’t without critics, though. David Wiehle, a Maple Park resident who hunted deer for 40 years, said the program is merciless toward the deer, which are not sick or harmful. Wiehle stopped hunting deer three years ago because of the department’s program, which he said is wasteful because it kills several deer even if only few of them are infected.

Wiehle attended the department’s first open house Monday, but left shortly after filling out a questionnaire. Department staff will be on hand at tonight’s open house to talk with anyone about the deer management program or chronic wasting disease, Schweizer said. Department staff also will present a survey of opinions from residents, hunters, landowners and nonhunters on the program at the open house. “This is just a general opportunity for citizens – whether they’re hunters or nonhunters – to come meet the staff,” Schweizer said. Those unable to attend an open house can share their opinions of the department’s deer management program by calling the Springfield office at 212-782-6302 or visiting www. dnr.illinois.gov.

By JOHN O’CONNOR The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – One of the three major credit-ratings agencies downgraded Illinois on Monday, the first sign of fallout from lawmakers’ failure to approve a plan for dealing with its outsized pension crisis. Fitch Ratings said it dropped the Illinois rating from “A’’ to “A-” based on lawmakers’ failure to enact a solution to the state’s public employee pension crisis. The agency graded $27.5 billion in bond debt backed by general tax revenues. Illinois already has the lowest rating in the nation. Lower ratings mean paying higher interest rates on borrowed money. Few in government were surprised by the announce-

ment. The General Assembly adjourned its spring session Friday without sending a plan to Gov. Pat Quinn. “As I have repeatedly made clear to the General Assembly, this will continue to happen until legislators pass a comprehensive pension reform bill, and put it on my desk,” the Democratic governor said in a prepared statement. Each downgrade “hurts our economy, wastes taxpayer dollars and shortchanges the education of our children.” Quinn said he was planning a meeting today with legislative leaders. But a spokesman said House Speaker Michael Madigan was out of the state, and Rikeesha Phelon, spokeswoman for Senate President John Cullerton said there were no firm plans. But Phelon said Quinn

Gene flaws common in blacks with breast cancer By MARILYNN MARCHIONE The Associated Press CHICAGO – Gene flaws that raise the risk of breast cancer are surprisingly common in black women with the disease, according to the first comprehensive testing in this racial group. The study found that one-fifth of these women have BRCA mutations, a problem usually associated with women of Eastern European Jewish descent but recently highlighted by the plight of Angelina Jolie. The study may help explain why black women have higher rates of breast cancer at young ages – and a worse chance of survival. Doctors say these patients should be offered genetic counseling and may want to consider more frequent screening and prevention options, which can range from hormone-blocking pills to breast removal, as Jolie chose to do. “We were surprised at our results,” said the study leader, Dr. Jane Churpek, a cancer specialist at the University of Chicago. Too few black women have been included in genetic studies in the past and most have not looked for mutations to the degree this one

New research shows genetic breast cancer is more common in black women than previously thought. did, “so we just don’t have a good sense” of how much risk there is, she said. Churpek gave results of the study Monday at an American Society of Clinical Oncology conference in Chicago. The researchers include MaryClaire King, the University of

Washington scientist who discovered the first breast cancer predisposition gene, BRCA1. Jolie revealed a few weeks ago that she carries a defective BRCA1 gene, giving her up to an 87 percent risk of developing breast cancer and up to a 54 percent risk for ovarian

cancer. The actress’s mother had breast cancer and died of ovarian cancer, and her maternal grandmother also had ovarian cancer. An aunt recently died of breast cancer. Children of someone with a BRCA mutation have a 50 percent chance of inheriting it.

In the U.S., about 5 to 10 percent of breast cancers are thought to be due to bad BRCA genes. Among breast cancer patients, BRCA mutations are carried by 5 percent of whites and 12 percent of Eastern European (Ashkenazi) Jews. The rates in other groups are not as well known. The study involved 249 black breast cancer patients from Chicago area hospitals. Many had breast cancer at a young age, and half had a family history of the disease. They were given complete gene sequencing for all 18 known breast cancer risk genes rather than the usual tests that just look for a few specific mutations in BRCA genes. Gene flaws were found in 56, or 22 percent, of study participants; 46 of them involved BRCA1 or BRCA2 and the rest were less commonly mutated genes. Harmful mutations were found in 30 percent of black women with “triple-negative breast cancer” – tumors whose growth is not fueled by estrogen, progesterone or the gene that the drug Herceptin targets. Doctors have long known that these harder-totreat cases are more common in black women.

Illinois agency must adopt ‘fracking’ rules, hire experts By TAMMY WEBBER The Associated Press CHICAGO – High-volume oil and gas extraction probably won’t begin in earnest in Illinois until next year because the state must first adopt rules and hire dozens of new employees to help regulate an industry eagerly pushing into new territory. Gov. Pat Quinn promised a quick signature on a measure the Legislature approved last week that would impose the nation’s strictest regulations on hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking,” which he says would create thousands of jobs in southern Illinois. But it will take three to six

months for the Illinois Department of Natural Resources to adopt rules to mirror the Legislature’s regulations. The agency must hire more than 50 engineers, inspectors, lawyers and experts for its regulatory program. And companies that want to drill first must register and qualify to frack in the state before applying for a permit. All that will take many months and perhaps as long as a year, industry and environmental groups said. “I think that fracking should not move forward in Illinois until the whole process ... is completed,” said Henry Henderson, director of the Natural Resource Defense Council’s Midwest office. His

group helped negotiate the regulations, which stemmed from an unusual collaboration between lawmakers, regulators, industry and environmental groups. “There is a significantly serious process before us to ensure the technology to enforce the rules is in place,” he said. DNR Director Marc Miller Gov. Pat said the agenQuinn cy must spend about $5 million to get the program off the ground. The Legislature included $6.1 million in the state budget for the next fiscal year, which begins July 1, but Miller

said the agency has enough financial flexibility to begin hiring right away. Drillers will pay an $11,000 fee to the DNR for each permit, but it will be a while before the agency collects enough money to make the program self-sufficient, Miller said. “In order to do this well, we will need to have these people on board to carry out,” the regulations, he said. “We will need many more people than in the past to do the work and do it well.” That’s partly because energy companies, which already have leased hundreds of thousands of acres, are eager to begin fracking, but also because the legislation requires that

the DNR issue a permit within 60 days of receiving an application. Fracking uses a high-pressure mixture of water, sand and chemicals to crack and hold open thick rock formations, releasing trapped oil and gas. Combined with horizontal drilling, it allows access to formerly out-of-reach deposits. Until now, Illinois had no regulations specifically aimed at high-volume fracking. Companies didn’t even have to say what method they used to extract oil and gas, so the DNR had no way of knowing whether it had begun or how extensively. State records indicate that at least one company has begun high-volume fracking.

West Nile virus. Officials said Monday the mosquitoes were found in the Cook County community of Hillside. Last year, the virus was found in 55 of the state’s counties and nearly 300 people contracted the illness. Twelve died. No human cases have been found so far this year. LaMar Hasbrouck, the director of the Illinois Department of Public Health, said the spring flooding is causing an increase in mosquitoes – both the kind that carry the virus and those that don’t.

And Steve Buchtel of the trail advocacy group Trails for Illinois believes businesses located near those trails could be missing out on an opportunity. The Southern Illinoisan newspaper in Carbondale said the study by the trails group and the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy focused on six bike trails in the state in 2012. It found that more than 300,000 people use them each year. About one-third of all trail users spent money during their rides. The average was $30.

Decades of state underfunding have left the five public employee retirement systems $97 billion short of what they need to cover all future obligations. Fitch wasted little time in acting. “The burden of large unfunded pension liabilities and growing annual pension expenses is unsustainable, and that failure to achieve reform measures despite the substantial focus on this topic exacerbates concern about management’s willingness and ability to address the state’s numerous fiscal challenges,” Fitch wrote in a statement.

New IRS chief testifies in Congress By STEPHEN OHLEMACHER The Associated Press WASHINGTON – His agency under relentless fire, the new head of the Internal Revenue Service acknowledged to Congress on Monday that American taxpayers no longer trust the IRS amid a growing number of scandals – from the targeting of conservative political groups to lavish spending on employee conferences. But Acting Commissioner Danny Werfel declared he was “committed to restoring that trust.” He said he has installed new leadership at the agency and is conducting a thorough review of what went wrong and how to fix it. He promised the transparency that was lacking for several years as tea party groups complained about harassment by the IRS, only to be met with denials from the agency. “We must have the trust of the American taxpayer. Unfortunately, that trust has been broken,” Werfel told a House Appropriations subcommittee in his first public appearance since taking over the agency nearly two weeks

Acting IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel (left), accompanied by Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration J. Russell George, testifies Monday on Capitol Hill in Washington before the House Appropriations subcommittee on Financial Services and General Government hearing regarding a report that the IRS spent about $50 million to hold at least 220 conferences for employees between 2010 and 2012. ago. “The agency stands ready to confront the problems that occurred, hold accountable those who acted inappropriately, be open about what happened, and permanently fix these problems so that such missteps do not occur again.” “It has to start,” Werfel added, “with a recognition that a trust has been violated.”

Werfel testified at a difficult time for the agency. Criticized from inside and outside the government, Werfel went to Capitol Hill to ask for a budget increase. President Barack Obama has requested a 9 percent increase in IRS spending for the budget year that starts in October, in part to help pay for the implementation of the

new health care law. House Republicans have voted 37 times to eliminate, defund or partly scale back the Affordable Care Act, and many are not eager to increase funding for an agency that will play a central role in enforcing compliance. “We will have to think very carefully about how much money to provide to the IRS,” said Rep. Ander Crenshaw, R-Fla., chairman of the House Appropriations subcommittee on financial services and general government. Werfel said it would be a “mistake” to ask Congress for more money to address the agency’s recently revealed problems. But, he said, the IRS is seeking additional money to enforce tax laws, improve taxpayer services and implement initiatives. “I’m prepared to defend the increase that we’re asking for,” he said. An inspector general’s report recently said IRS agents improperly targeted conservative political groups for scrutiny when they applied for tax-exempt status in 2010 and 2012.

Prosecutor: WikiLeaks source let enemy have secrets By DAVID DISHNEAU and PAULINE JELINEK The Associated Press FORT MEADE, Md. – Pfc. Bradley Manning put U.S. military secrets into the hands of Osama bin Laden himself, prosecutors said Monday as the Army intelligence analyst went on trial over the biggest leak of classified material in American history. Manning’s lawyers countered by arguing that he was a “young, naive but good-intentioned” soldier whose struggle to fit in as a gay man in the military made him feel he “needed to do something to make a difference in this world.”

Manning, 25, has admitted turning over hundreds of thousands of documents to the anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks, pleading guilty earlier this year to charges that could bring 20 years behind bars. But the military pressed ahead with a court-martial on more serious charges, including aiding the enemy, which carries a potential life sentence. Prosecutors said they will present evidence that bin Laden requested and obtained from another al-Qaida member Afghanistan battlefield reports and State Department cables published by WikiLeaks. “This is a case about a soldier who systematically har-

vested hundreds of thousands of documents from classified databases and then dumped that information onto the Internet into the hands of the enemy,” prosecutor Capt. Joe Morrow said. He said the case is “about what happens when arrogance meets access to sensitive information.” Wearing his dress blue uniform, the slightly built Manning peered through his small eyeglasses at a slide show of the prosecutor’s hour-long opening statement, watching on a laptop computer at the defense table. The slide show also was projected on three larger screens in the courtroom, which had seats for only

about 50 people. Later, almost motionless, the soldier from Crescent, Okla., sat forward in his chair, looking toward his defense attorney, David Coombs, throughout his 25-minute opening statement. Coombs said Manning struggled to do the right thing as “a humanist,” a word engraved on his custom-made dog tags. As an analyst in Baghdad, Manning had access to hundreds of millions of documents but selectively leaked material, Coombs said. He mentioned an unclassified video of a 2007 U.S. Apache helicopter attack that mistakenly killed civilians, including a Reuters photographer.

Experts advise on utilization of area broadband The DeKalb County Economic Development Corp. held its Broadband and Economic Development Technology Focus Luncheon on Thursday. John Lewis, director of the Regional Development Institute at Northern Illinois University, moderated a panel of experts in the fiber optics industry. Matthew Parks, director of Network Services at NIU, described how the DeKalb Advancement of Technology Authority installed 130 miles of fiber throughout DeKalb and portions of Kane and LaSalle counties using a $14.8 million grant. DATA is a partnership between DeKalb County government, NIU and DeKalb Fiber Optic. The DATA network serves 70 community anchor institutions, including schools, government facilities, libraries, health care facilities and higher education. The network is connected to all regional broadband networks, including Illinois Municipal Broadband Communications Association for Economic Development, Northern Illinois Technology Triangle for Economic Development, and iFiber, the nine-county NIU-led network in northwest Illinois. Parks noted that the completion of the DATA project means that “21st century” broadband speeds are available to public facilities and businesses. 4G wireless coverage is advantageous for many applications including videography, design, engineering and finance. Accelerated data transfer speeds facilitate greater collaboration, higher efficiency and innovation. As a recognized fiber hub, DeKalb County is now “on the map” for large broadband users such as data centers or software development facilities. Extensive broadband capacity is available to support business expansion. Clayton Black, eTeam coordinator with Broadband Illinois, spoke about their broadband mapping responsibilities and explained the tools available on their website, broadbandillinois.com. These tools align users with providers of broadband, document the speeds and technologies available to an area and enable users to request broadband at their address. Black said that DeKalb County was highly ranked – 13th out of 102 Illinois counties – for broadband speeds and availability of live networks. DeKalb County can improve its ranking by expanding accessibility. Regarding utilization, he noted that while 79 percent of county businesses purchase goods and services online, only 46 percent of organizations sell goods and services online. This could be a growth oppor-

the state to come to the garage sale down on Route 34,” Hummel said. “I call it picker’s paradise.” Hummel said Somonauk and Sandwich area residents can contact her if they are interested in participating in the garage sale. She said more than 400 people came to the area last year because of the sale. “Every year there’s more and more sales added on,” Hummel said. “People know that weekend; the traffic is pretty crazy.”

Hummel said Sandwich and Somonauk will have a variety of community sales, not just in areas located along Route 34. In Sandwich, there will be sales at the Timber Creek Inn and Suites and the local Veterans of Foreign Wars post, Hummel said. More On 34’s website lists different events occurring within the communities at the same time as the garage sale. The Blues on the Fox festival will be held in Aurora, while the United Method-

ist Church in Earlville will host a dinner. “If people want to do some research, they can look at the places they want to hit on the website,” Hummel said. Hummel said maps detailing the sales will be available from the Sandwich Area Chamber of Commerce. They also will available at the Citgo gas station at 150 E. Market St., Somonauk, and the Sandwich VFW, 713 S. Main St. in Sandwich.

Genoa welcomes Crown Exteriors Inc.

DCEDC VIEW Paul Borek tunity. According to Broadband Illinois’ statewide survey, demand for broadband is increasing. In addition, broadband access enables small businesses to better compete with big businesses. The survey also found a net increase of 5,000 jobs attributable to broadband, 40 percent of which were “telecommuting” jobs enabled by internet connectivity. Scot Eberle, president of Fiberutilities Group of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, provided a look at how DeKalb County can capitalize on its broadband network for optimal development. Fiberutilities Group manages about 12,000 miles of client-owned network from Denver to Chicago. Their focus is developing a business model that incorporates infrastructure technology. “Fiber is the road. It doesn’t do anything by itself,” Eberle said. “The key is utilizing this new ‘road’ to make the difference for business. Infrastructure is important because it enables applications, applications drive usage and users drive revenue and economic development.” Eberle said there are many options for increasing utilization and that DeKalb County has a lot of capacity. He stressed that according to the economic model, costs of broadband access should come down because of the amount of fiber available; however, it will take both collaboration and competition to generate cost reduction. He advised that DeKalb County create a marketplace for fiber by being bold, strategic, collaborative and smart.

New Jersey Senator Lautenberg dead at age 89 By ANGELA DELLI SANTI The Associated Press TRENTON, N.J. – The next time a flight attendant reminds you there’s no smoking or you witness a teenager getting carded at a liquor store, think of Frank Lautenberg. The liberal Democratic senator from New Jersey left his mark on the everyday lives of millions of Americans, whether they know it or not. In the 1980s, he was a driving force behind the laws that banned smoking on most U.S. flights and made 21 the drinking age in all 50 states. Lautenberg, a multimillionaire businessman who became an accomplished – if often underestimated – politician, died Monday at a New York hospital after suffering complications from viral pneumonia. At 89, he was the oldest

person in the Senate and the last of 115 World War II veterans to serve there. “He improved the lives of countless Americans with his commitment to our nation’s health and safety,” President Barack Obama said in a statement, “from improving our public transportation to protecting citizens from gun violence to ensuring that members of our military and their families get the care they deserve.” The Senate observed a moment of silence in Lautenberg’s memory, and at the White House the flag was lowered to half-staff. Lautenberg served nearly three decades in the Senate in two stints, beginning with an upset victory in 1982 over Republican Rep.

U.S. Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., walks in the Capitol after the final votes Aug. 2 before a five-week recess, on Capitol Hill in Washington. Lautenberg, a multimillionaire New Jersey businessman and liberal who was called out of retirement for a second tour of duty in Congress, has died at age 89. character Lacey Davenport in “Doonesbury.” Possessed with neither a dynamic speaking style nor

a telegenic face, he won his last race in 2008 at age 84, becoming the first New Jersey politician ever elected to five

Senate terms. “People don’t give a darn about my age,” Lautenberg said then. “They know I’m vigorous. They know I’ve got plenty of energy.” Over the years, he was a reliable Democratic vote on such issues as unions, guns and the environment. A native of one of the most congested and heavily industrialized and polluted states, he worked to secure hundreds of millions of dollars for mass transit projects, ardently defended Amtrak and pushed for money for the Superfund toxic-waste cleanup program. He was the author of a 1984 law that threatened to withhold federal highway money from states that did not adopt a drinking age of 21, a measure that passed amid rising alarm over drunken driving. At the time, some states allowed people as young as 18

to drink. By 1988, every state was in compliance with the law, which has been widely credited with reducing highway deaths. A former smoker, Lautenberg was one of two prime sponsors of the 1989 law that banned smoking on all domestic flights of less than six hours, one of several anti-smoking laws he championed. The measure helped pave the way for today’s numerous restrictions on where people can light up. Despite poor health that left him in a wheelchair, he returned to the Senate in April for several votes on gun legislation. He voted in favor of enhanced background checks for gun purchases and reinstatement of a ban on assault-style weapons. Both measures failed.

Actor Bradley Cooper (center) listens during a panel discussion Monday at the National Conference on Mental Health in the East Room of the White House in Washington.

Obama calls for an end to mental illness stigma By NEDRA PICKLER The Associated Press WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama said Monday that he wants to end the stigma of mental illness and enrolled the star power of actors Bradley Cooper and Glenn Close at a White House conference organized in response to the December shootings at a Connecticut elementary school. The event was designed to encourage those struggling with mental illness to seek treatment, although some attendees noted the government needs to provide more resources to meet that goal. Despite its origins, there was a notable lack of discussion of gun violence at the conference. The president never mentioned the matter as he opened the gathering from the East Room, instead stressing that he wants to make it clear that the majority of the mentally ill are not violent. He said his main goal in hosting the conference is “bringing mental illness out of the shadows” and encouraging those suffering to get help, particularly

veterans and young people. “We whisper about mental health issues and avoid asking too many questions,” the president said. “The brain is a body part, too. We just know less about it. And there should be no shame in discussing or seeking help for treatable illnesses that affect too many people that we love. We’ve got to get rid of that embarrassment. We’ve got to get rid of that stigma.” The conference comes after Obama’s effort to pass gun control, including more background checks for purchases and a ban on assault weapon sales, was voted down in the Senate. The need to improve the country’s mental health care system is something all sides of the gun debate, including the National Rifle Association, have advocated. “It’s really something that uniquely can bring our country together, whether the issue is health care, gun control, media violence, however they want to characterize it,” said Gordon Smith, a former Republican senator from Oregon whose son, Garrett, suffered

from depression and committed suicide in 1998 a few days after his 13th birthday. Smith now heads the National Association of Broadcasters, which announced as part of the conference a new campaign to reduce negative perceptions of mental illness through television and radio ads and social media. Smith’s passing mention of guns, during a panel discussion, was the only mention of the issue in the daylong convention that came out of Obama’s executive orders after the shooting at Connecticut’s Sandy Hook Elementary School. There’s been little publicly disclosed about the mental health of Sandy Hook shooter Adam Lanza, although it’s been documented that other gunmen involved in mass shootings suffered from mental illness. Federal law bans certain mentally ill people from purchasing firearms, but the background check system is woefully incomplete and Obama is trying to get more mental health records included.

Sunscreen can slow skin aging By LAURAN NEERGAARD The Associated Press WASHINGTON – If worry about skin cancer doesn’t make you slather on sunscreen, maybe vanity will: New research provides some of the strongest evidence to date that near-daily sunscreen use can slow the aging of your skin. Ultraviolet rays that spur wrinkles and other signs of aging can quietly build up damage pretty much anytime you’re in the sun – a lunchtime stroll, school recess, walking the dog – and they even penetrate car windows. Researchers in sunny Australia used a unique study to measure whether sunscreens really help amid that onslaught. Participants had casts made of the top of their hands to measure fine lines and wrin-

kles that signal sun-caused aging. The research found that even if you’re already middle-aged, it’s not too late to start rubbing some sunscreen on – and not just at the beach or pool. The study of 900 people younger than 55 compared those randomly assigned to use sunscreen daily to those who used it when they deemed it necessary. Daily sunscreen use was tough – participants did cheat a little. But after 4½ years, those who used sunscreen regularly had younger-looking hands, with 24 percent less skin aging than those who used sunscreen only some of the time. Both young adults and the middle-aged experienced skin-saving effects, concluded the study, financed by Aus-

tralia’s government and published Monday in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine. “These are meaningful cosmetic benefits,” lead scientist Dr. Adele Green of the Queensland Institute of Medical Research said in an email interview. More importantly, she added, less sun-caused aging decreases the risk of skin cancer in the long term. Dermatologists have long urged year-round sunscreen use – especially for constantly exposed skin on the face, hands and women’s neck and upper chest – but say too few people heed that advice. Women may have better luck, as increasingly the cosmetics industry has added sunscreen to makeup and moisturizers. Skin experts hope the new study draws attention to the issue.

House GOP bill blocks Guantanamo closing

Bomb kills many Afghan children, and U.S. troops

WASHINGTON – Rebuffing President Barack Obama’s latest plea, House Republicans on Monday proposed keeping open the military-run prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, by barring the administration from transferring its terror suspects to the United States or a foreign country such as Yemen. The provisions dealing with the fate of the remaining 166 prisoners are part of a defense policy bill drafted by Armed Services Committee Chairman Howard P. “Buck” McKeon, R-Calif. The chairman released the bill Monday, two days before Republicans and Democrats on the committee will vote on it. Overall, the bill would authorize $638 billion for the military in the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1, including $86 billion for war costs.

KABUL, Afghanistan – A suicide bomber targeting U.S. troops outside an Afghan government office killed nine children walking home from school and two of the Americans on Monday, the latest sign that this year’s fighting season could be one of the deadliest of the 12-year-old war. An increase in casualties among Afghan civilians and security forces reinforces fears that foreign combat forces will be leaving behind a country in the throes of relentless violence when they withdraw next year. An Afghan official insisted that despite the escalating carnage, the insurgents have made no advances. With peace talks apparently dead in the water, the Taliban and other militants have fiercely stepped up attacks in recent weeks, unleashing

multiple bombings, sieges of international aid groups’ compounds and armed attacks on police posts nationwide, and testing the ability of Afghan soldiers and police to hold their ground by themselves.

Many trapped in China fire, at least 100 dead BEIJING – Fire swept through a poultry processing plant Monday in northeastern China, trapping workers inside a slaughterhouse with only a single open exit and killing at least 119 people in one of the country’s worst industrial disasters in years. Besides the dead, dozens were injured in the blaze in Jilin province’s Mishazi township, which appeared to have been sparked by three early morning explosions, Xinhua News Agency said. The provincial fire department attributed the blasts to an ammonia leak.

DNA collection laws vary between states

Dunkin’ taking doughnut bacon sandwich national NEW YORK – Even as fast-food chains tout their healthy offerings, they’re also coming up with fatty new treats to keep customers interested. Case in point: Dunkin’ Donuts is adding a doughnut breakfast sandwich to its national menu this week. The sandwich, which comes with fried eggs and bacon between a split glazed doughnut, will become a part of the permanent menu starting Friday, which the chain claims is “National Donut Day.” Dunkin’ Donuts had tested the sandwich in select stores in eastern Massachusetts in April, creating considerable buzz online. Notably, Dunkin’ Donuts says the “Glazed Donut

But landlords and tenants have been working together on ways to stabilize and pay the rent. “The rents have come down a little bit,” Carpenter said. “Landlords are offering more incentives to get tenants into the properties. They’re doing that by way of rent abatement or tenant improvement allowances.” Residents shouldn’t see Johnny’s Charhouse’s closing as a dire economic indicator, he said. “Any time you see high profile locations come available, sometimes that can send a false message to the community,” Carpenter said. “We’ve had a long-term challenge with the economy. There are a lot of signs that there is improvement on the horizon, but we’re not there yet.”

The lawsuit, which seeks more than $50,000 in damages, claims Johnson showed other attorneys the photographs in the lawyer’s lounge in the courthouse in Sycamore, while Campbell showed oth-

er attorneys the photographs in and around a second-floor courtroom. She also claims an unnamed prosecutor shared newspaper articles about her arrest with other attorneys and prospective clients. Campbell and Johnson work together at a legal practice that has offices in Sycamore, Sandwich and Yorkville. Neither immediately returned calls for comment Monday.

light,” he said. Scott Berkowitz, president and founder of the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network, cheered the decision and called DNA collection “a detective’s most valuable tool in solving rape cases.” “We’re very pleased that the court recognized the importance of DNA and decided that, like fingerprints, it can be collected from arrestees without violating any privacy rights,” he said. “Out of every 100 rapes in this country, only three rapists will spend a day behind bars. To make matters worse, rapists tend to be serial criminals, so every one left on the streets is likely to commit still more attacks. DNA is a tool we could not afford to lose.” Getting DNA swabs from criminals is common. All 50 states and the federal government take cheek swabs from convicted criminals to check against federal and state databanks, with the court’s blessing.

– and all nine justices agreed that DNA testing is a search – without individualized suspicion,” said Steven R. Shapiro, the group’s legal director. “Today’s decision eliminates that crucial safeguard. At the same time, it’s important to recognize that other state laws on DNA testing are even broader than Maryland’s and may present issues that were not resolved by today’s ruling.” Maryland’s DNA collection law only allows police to take DNA from those arrested for serious offenses such as murder, rape, assault, burglary and other crimes of violence. In his ruling, Kennedy did not say whether the court’s decision was limited to those crimes, but he did note that other states’ DNA collection laws differ from Maryland’s. Scalia saw that as a crucial flaw. “If you believe that a DNA search will identify someone arrested for bank robbery, you must believe that it will identify someone arrested for running a red

Breakfast Sandwich” clocks in at 360 calories, which is less than the 390 calories for the turkey sausage sandwich it recently introduced for people looking to eat better. The latest concoction may seem to conflict with the push by companies to court customers with better-foryou offerings. For example, options like egg whites and whole grain bread have become common as fast-food chains scramble to attract people in their 20s and 30s, who they say want fresher, wholesome food. That desire to give menus a healthier glow isn’t just lip service. Earlier this year, a report by the Hudson Institute found that lower-calorie options were a key indicator of growth at restaurant chains between 2006 and 2011.

More voices needed in Ill. pension talks

Unintended consequences bedevil reformers A thoughtful reformer targets the traditional rules of an aging institution that has slowed progress in the past. Time to modernize those rules, the reformer says, and prevent obstruction in the future. The trouble is that such reform efforts often prove counterproductive. New rules strengthen rather than weaken the aging institution. Unintended consequences abound. Two examples come to mind, the first from far away – the British House of Lords. After Tony Blair’s Labor Party was swept into office in 1997, it decided to reform the House of Lords. Its hereditary members were overwhelmingly Conservative and could outvote the appointed life peers of various parties. The Lords could not veto legislation but could delay or amend it, sometimes obstructing or frustrating the democratically elected House of Commons. So Blair decided to take the vote away from all but 90 of the hereditary lords and appoint enough life peers so that no party would have a majority. He made that deal with the Conservative Party leader in the Lords, Robert Cranborne, in 1999. As Cranborne (now the Marquis of Salisbury) predicted back then, the reform increased the power of the Lords. When Conservatives had an eternal majority, they were extremely reluctant to amend

VIEWS Michael Barone or delay legislation. But the current Lords, with no party in majority, has been much more eager to amend and delay. Threats to do so have pushed governments to make changes in the Commons to appease the Lords. So the effort to reduce the Lords’ powers enhanced them, instead. There has been a similar phenomenon in the efforts over the years to limit the influence of money in electoral politics. Going back more than 100 years, Congress and state legislatures have tried to build dams to stop vast rivers of money flowing downstream into campaigns. The result is that slowly moving rivulets are steered into other channels, then rush in vast torrents down slopes into supposedly forbidden landscape. To switch from watery metaphor to legal analysis, there is an inevitable tension between campaign finance limitations and the First Amendment. Supreme Court justices may try to limit its protections to student armbands, nude dancing and flag burning. But its real purpose is to protect political speech -- which costs money. Much of the impetus for campaign

finance limitations came from those who fear that the rich will give one party an insuperable advantage in election after election. Half a century ago, Republicans seemed to have such an advantage. But those days are gone. What has happened instead is that, as political spending has zoomed past intended limits, citizens acting on calculation or conviction have been donating about equal amounts to both parties. In response to new restrictions, they do so increasingly without disclosure. So campaign finance reform has resulted in more money and less accountability. Lesson: Unless you’re prepared to abolish entirely the House of Lords (as Oliver Cromwell did in the 1650s) or the U.S. Senate, or ban private campaign spending, there’s a good chance that any reform you make will exacerbate rather than alleviate the things you dislike. Especially if you’re refighting the battles of the past rather than anticipating how institutions will adapt to the future. Reform sometimes makes thing worse.

Repairing Gulf Coast after oil spill should be a priority By BOB GRAHAM and WILLIAM K. REILLY Special to the Washington Post Almost daily, some mention is made of the billions of dollars in fines and penalties that might come from BP and its contractors in resolving the litigation that resulted from the April 2010 explosion of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico. What the American people don’t hear about is the unacceptably slow progress in repairing the damage to one of the world’s most productive natural resources. Although oil and gas production is important, the United States also depends on the Gulf for much of its seafood (half the production in the lower 48 states), and many residents along the coast depend on a healthy Gulf for their livelihoods in fishing, recreational industries and tourism. The National Commission on the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling, which we co-chaired, recommended that 80 percent of the Clean Water Act penalties resulting from the spill be earmarked for restoring the gulf’s ecosystems. Last year, with bipartisan support, Congress passed the Restore Act adopting this recommendation. The revenue from the spill penalties offers an opportunity to reverse decades of destruction. The country needs to get started and needs to do it right. So far, though, we are not encouraged about either prospect. Progress has been slow. Almost two years ago, BP agreed to provide $1 billion for early restoration of damaged natural re-

sources – projects to be started before final settlement was reached regarding damages. At the end of April, only 7 percent of the available funds had been committed. The goal of restoring the Gulf’s environment has become lost amid bureaucratic squabbling. A recent report by the Treasury Department’s inspector general indicates that federal agencies can’t agree on how the Restore Act money will be managed. Last month, the Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council established by the Restore Act produced a “Draft Initial Comprehensive Plan” describing the council’s goals and the processes it intends to follow. This is encouraging, but the report lacks the spending allocation plan and the priority list of specific projects that the Restore Act requires. One thing impeding headway is that, of the five states bordering the Gulf of Mexico, only Louisiana and Florida have specific proposals for restoration projects. To the commission, the compelling rationale for allocating revenue from Clean Water Act fines to restoration of the Gulf Coast was the need to reverse the long-term degradation of the Gulf of Mexico’s ecosystems. Well before the BP spill, the federal government was an active partner in depletion of this productive resource, helping in the destruction of coastal wetlands to promote shipping, oil and gas development, and other economic activities. Now the restoration initiative is at risk of falling victim to the same absence of thoughtful, coherent planning that allowed the degradation of the ecosystems. No clear

goals are evident on what the restoration efforts should be trying to achieve. The Gulf of Mexico has suffered long enough. The revenue from the spill penalties offers a once-in-a-lifetime chance to begin reversing decades’ worth of destruction. The country cannot allow this opportunity to be wasted by inadequate planning, bureaucratic infighting or shortsighted handouts to special interests. Stakeholders also need to look at creative approaches, such as those offered by some in the private sector who are willing to invest their own money to help speed restoration. One investment partnership experienced in wetlands mitigation, for example, has raised funds to restore wetlands protecting New Orleans and says it can do this faster and at lower cost than government can. It is also willing to accept payback after the restored wetlands demonstrate their viability. This type of private initiative should be encouraged. Every dollar spent conserving habitat, restoring water quality, protecting coastal and marine resources, and strengthening community resilience will create jobs and return the investment many times over for generations to come.

The state legislative session that ended Friday was an abject failure, one that demands a new approach to solving Illinois’ public pension crisis. Lawmakers adjourned the spring session without coming to any agreement on a plan to reform the state’s pension systems, which are underfunded by almost $100 billion, a debt that grows by $17 million each day. With pension obligations set to consume a fifth of all state revenues in the next year and the state’s credit rating already the lowest of the 50 states – another rating agency lowered the state’s rating Monday – pension reform was the top item on everyone’s agenda for the session. Still, nothing was accomplished. The blame lies with lawmakers in general and with the state’s legislative leaders, House Speaker Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton, in particular. A pair of Chicago DemoFor the record crats, Madigan and Cullerton could not reach an agreeThe state legislative sesment among their own party sion that ended Friday was members, even though they an abject failure, one that hold comfortable majorities demands a new approach in both houses. to solving Illinois’ public Given their failure, it is pension crisis. time they allow others to become involved in crafting a workable compromise. More people need to be involved in this process – Republicans, Democrats, unions and taxpayer advocates – to come up with a compromise solution that can extricate us from this crisis. The status quo is untenable and benefits almost no one in Illinois. Lawmakers already tried to tax their way out of this mess in 2011, when they hit the public with a 67 percent income-tax increase. At the time it was called temporary, with much of it supposed to be lifted by 2015, but it now seems well on its way to becoming permanent. Adding more taxes on businesses when the state’s unemployment rate already is above the national average is not a workable solution, either. A plan that punishes state retirees earning modest pensions won’t do, but anyone who thinks that the pension systems can continue as they are without changes to reduce costs is in denial. If the systems are to survive, they must be changed. Much of what can be done to solve the problem already has been proposed, including: • Delaying and reducing cost of living increases, • Reducing the amount of pension payouts to which the increases apply • Increasing employee contributions • Shifting the responsibility for teachers’ retirement funds to local school districts • Using funds for state bond and interest payments for pension contributions when bonds are retired • Capping total pension payouts. There should also be protections against pension spiking. Most importantly, there must be real savings that will allow the state’s pension funds – and its budget in general – to be solvent in the future. It is past time for a solution. Illinois has the lowest credit rating of the 50 states, a designation that means Illinois taxpayers spend more on interest payments than these in any other state. The ego-driven approach employed by Madigan and Cullerton this spring has yielded only more embarrassment and financial hardship for our state. Solving a problem of this magnitude can not be achieved by force of will. It requires compromise and input from many quarters. Gov. Pat Quinn reportedly is trying to arrange a meeting with legislative leaders to talk about the problem. But legislative leaders already have failed to solve this problem. Perhaps Quinn can bring enough people together that a compromise solution can successfully be crafted. Voters should demand a new process begins immediately, and when a compromise is reached, a special session of the legislature should be called to consider it.

Nuclear weapons funding The United States has about 180 B61 gravity nuclear bombs based in Europe. The cold war is long over, and no American military commander can conceive of their ever being used. Even so, President Obama has put $537 million in his 2014 budget proposal to upgrade these bombs. This is a nonsensical decision, not least because it is at odds with Obama’s own vision. In a seminal speech in Prague in 2009 and a strategy review in 2010, Obama advocated the long-term goal of a world without nuclear arms and promised to reduce America’s reliance on them. He also promised not to field a new and improved warhead. In addition to overspending on warheads, Obama has cut the Global Threat Reduction Initiative program, which reduces and protects from terrorism vulnerable nuclear material at sites worldwide, by 15 percent from 2013 levels. His budget is being rewritten by Congress, but in the nuclear area it is a disappointing, and befuddling, measure of his priorities. New York Times

Hawks look to beat Los Angeles’ streak AP photo

Former Bills QB Kelly battling cancer of the jaw BATAVIA, N.Y. – Jim Kelly intends to confront the cancer found in his upper jaw bone much like the Hall of Fame quarterback has approached many of the numerous challenges he’s faced in life: Head on. Revealing on Monday that he’s been diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma, Kelly drew upon his family, faith and perseverance. Those are three qualities that have helped him overcome the death of his son, Hunter, his mother and whatever obstacles stood in his way on the football field. “You have challenges. You have to confront them head on. And this is just another one. I’m down at the bottom. But I will rise to the top again,” Kelly said. “I am extremely confident in my road to recovery. I plan to tackle this challenge head on, as we Kellys always do.” Informed of the diagnosis two weeks ago, Kelly called the prognosis for recovery “very good.” He said tests show the cancer is isolated to the jaw and not spread to other parts of his body. Doctors plan to remove part of Kelly’s jaw Friday at a Buffalo hospital. It won’t be determined until after the operation whether he will require chemotherapy “We caught it in time,” the 53-year-old Kelly said. “It’s just another challenge for me and I know I’ll beat it.” – Wire report

CHICAGO – During the past six months, the Blackhawks have made headlines for going on streaks. Now, in addition to extending their latest winning streak, the Hawks have a chance to stop another team’s run. Whether the high-flying Hawks achieve that goal will be determined when they visit the Los Angeles Kings tonight in Game 3 of the Western Conference finals. The target: 14. The title: Consecutive home games won by the Kings, including seven playoff wins. The treat: A chance for the Hawks to seize a 3-0 series lead and push the Kings to the brink of elimination.

8WHAT TO WATCH NHL playoffs Blackhawks at Los Angeles, 8 p.m., NBCSN EL SEGUNDO, Calif. – The Kings have been in all types of jams during the past two postseasons. Just a few weeks ago, they even escaped the same 0-2 deficit they now are facing in the Western Conference finals. “We’ve been here, what, three weeks ago?” forward Justin Williams asked, referring to the Kings’ great escape in the first round against St. Louis. “Obviously, it’s not door-die (in Game 3), but it is.” Yet the defending Stanley Cup champions aren’t sure they’ve tangled with an opponent that could match the depth and versatility of the Hawks, who might even be the team to end Los Angeles’ 2½-month run of dominance at home.

Former Cub Bradley convicted of abusing wife LOS ANGELES – A jury Monday convicted former Cubs outfielder Milton Bradley of abusing his estranged wife. Bradley, 35, was convicted after a four-week trial of nine misdemeanor counts, including four counts of spousal battery, one count of assault with a deadly weapon and one count of making criminal threats, Los Angeles city attorney’s spokesman Frank Mateljan said. He faces up to 7½ years in jail at his sentencing, which is scheduled for July 2. Prosecutors said Bradley threatened and attacked his wife five times in 2011 and 2012. The two have been married for five years and have two children together, but are separated and in the middle of a contentious divorce.

BLACKHAWKS NOTES

NBA

Hawks sign Finnish goalie By TOM MUSICK tmusick@shawmedia.com CHICAGO – He plays goaltender. His first name is Antti. He is from Finland. No wonder the Blackhawks wanted so badly to sign this guy. Three seasons after Antti Niemi helped the organization win a Stanley Cup, the Hawks signed Finnish goaltender Antti Raanta to a one-year contract. Several other NHL teams, including the Minnesota Wild and Edmonton Oilers, reportedly also had pursued signing Raanta, 24, to a deal. Although the Hawks’ transaction will have no effect on the rest of the postseason, the addition of Raanta could play a big role in terms of next sea-

son’s roster. Corey Crawford has one season remaining on his three-year contract, while veteran backup Ray Emery is due to become an unrestricted free agent this summer. It’s possible Raanta could step in next season for Emery, who thrived with a 17-1-0 re- Ray Emmery cord and a 1.94 goals-against average during the regular season but battled injuries late in the year. Emery could seek a starting role elsewhere and command a salary beyond the Hawks’ budget. Raanta most recently played for Assat Pori in Finland, where he was named the most valuable player of the regular

season and the playoffs. He posted a 21-10-11 record this season with five shutouts, a 1.85 goals-against average and a .943 save percentage in 45 appearances. In five seasons as a professional, Raanta (6-0, 182 pounds) has a record of 48-27-16. Hit parade: Neither the Hawks nor the Los Angeles Kings have been shy when it comes to delivering hits during the Western Conference finals. In the first two games of the series, the teams have combined for a whopping 164 hits, including 90 for the Kings. Four players have tallied double-digit hits in the first two games of the series. Brent Seabrook and Andrew Shaw have 10 hits apiece for the

Too much Heat

Hawks can spoil Kings’ fun • MUSICK Continued from page B1 The Hawks are 8-1 at the United Center and 2-3 on the road, including a pair of second-round losses in Games 3 and 4 against the Detroit Red Wings. On home ice, the Hawks have outscored opponents, 29-14. On the road, the Hawks have 10 goals to their opponents’ 11. Yet the Hawks know as well as anyone that all good streaks come to an end. Their 24-game point streak ended March 8 at Colorado, as did their 11-game winning streak. Their streak of 30 consecutive penalty kills ended in Game 4 against the Wings. Maybe this is the game in which the Hawks can spoil somebody else’s fun. “We know how well the Kings play in their building,” Hawks forward Patrick Sharp said. “The series is just getting started, really.”

White Sox activate Beckham from DL SEATTLE – The White Sox activated infielder Gordon Beckham from the 15-day disabled list and designated infielder Tyler Greene for assignment Monday. Beckham was in the starting lineup at second base for the Sox on Monday night at Seattle. He had been on the DL since breaking the hamate bone in his left hand on April 9 and having surgery on April 16. Beckham, on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte before being reinstated, is 6 for 19 (.316) with one RBI in seven games this season. Greene hit .222 with a home run and three RBIs in 22 games for the Sox.

Big Ten to add lacrosse, Hopkins as affiliate STATE COLLEGE, Pa. – The Big Ten is adding lacrosse as a sport in 2015 and welcoming powerhouse Johns Hopkins as an affiliate member for men’s lacrosse only, two moves that could further boost the profile of the conference in the East. The addition of men’s and women’s lacrosse will increase the number of league sports to 28. Lacrosse has a strong following in much of the East and mid-Atlantic regions.

Big Ten hooks up with Pinstripe Bowl for 8 years NEW YORK – The Big Ten and the Pinstripe Bowl have agreed to an 8-year deal that the conference hopes will help claim New York as its territory. The conference’s affiliation with the three-year-old bowl game will begin in 2014. “When we began planning we had an objective to end up in New York at the New Era Pinstripe Bowl,” Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany said Monday during a news conference at Yankee Stadium. “We’re in the east now with Maryland and Rutgers. Not only is New York the financial capital, sports capital of the country, but it is the place you need to be if you truly want to present a national slate of bowl games.” – From staff, wire reports

Hawks, while Dustin Brown and Kyle Clifford have notched 10 hits apiece for the Kings. Other leaders include forwards Bryan Bickell of the Hawks and Dustin Penner of the Kings, each of whom have nine hits entering Game 3. One of the guys: Crawford proved he was willing to defend more than the Hawks’ net when he left the crease and pulled the Kings’ Clifford off Hawks captain Jonathan Toews in Game 2. Crawford – who later explained, “I just decided to go in there and grab his head” – was not penalized on the play. He received two penalties during the regular season, including one for tripping against Colorado and one for interference against Vancouver.

Blaylock faces Kidd retiring after 19 seasons charges in fatal crash By BRIAN MAHONEY The Associated Press

By PHILLIP LUCAS The Associated Press JONESBORO, Ga. – Former NBA AllStar Daron “Mookie” Blaylock has been charged with vehicular homicide arising from a head-on crash in suburban Atlanta, authorities announced Monday. Blaylock, 46, also is charged with driving on a suspended license and failure to maintain his lane in the Friday crash, Jonesboro Police Chief Franklin Allen said. Blaylock was driving an SUV that crossed the center line of Tara Boulevard – about 20 miles south of downtown Atlanta – and struck a van, police said. A van passenger, 43-year-old Monica Murphy, died hours later. Her husband, who also Daron was in the van, was treat‘Mookie’ ed and released at a hospiBlaylock tal. Blaylock also was wanted in Spalding County on charges of failure to appear in court, DUI and drug possession, Allen said. Atlanta Medical Center spokeswoman Nicole Gustin said Blaylock was in fair condition Monday. He initially was on life support at the hospital, but his condition was upgraded. Allen said police are working to determine the cause of the crash and that alcohol doesn’t appear to be a factor. Authorities were working to gather documents on Blaylock’s medical history Monday. Blaylock told investigators he blacked out just before the wreck but wasn’t able to say much more, Allen said. It’s unclear if he has an attorney. Blaylock was a first-round draft pick by the New Jersey Nets out of Oklahoma in 1989.

NEW YORK – Jason Kidd became one of the best by making others better. He turned around a longtime-losing franchise, guided another to a championship and helped his last one to its first division title since the year he came into the NBA 19 years ago. Teammates loved him. The U.S. national team needed him. But he looked more burned out than brilliant in the final weeks of the season, and on Monday he decided to end one of the greatest careers for a point guard in league history. “My time in professional basketball has been an incredible journey, but one that must come to an end after 19 years,” Kidd said in a statement released by the New York Knicks. “As I reflect on my time with the four teams I represented in the NBA, I look back fondly at every season and thank each and every one of my teammates and coaches that joined me on the court.” Kidd won an NBA title and two Olympic gold medals, is second on the career list in assists and steals, and was a 10-time All-Star. But he missed 22 of his 25 shots in the postseason and was scoreless in his final 10 playoff games shortly after turning 40, and decided to walk away with two years and more than $6 million left on the deal he signed last summer. His retirement comes two days after fellow 40-year-old Grant Hill, with whom Kidd shared Rookie of the Year honors in 1995, announced his retirement. Kidd went on from there to have big impacts on every team he joined. He led the Nets to two NBA Finals in 2002-03, helped the Dallas Mavericks win the 2011 title, and was on the first Knicks team to reach the second round of the playoffs since 2000. He averaged 12.6 points, 8.7 assists, 6.3 rebounds and 1.93 steals in a career that also included a stop in Phoenix. Kidd had numerous ways to make his mark on games, ranking third on the career list with 107 triple-doubles while finishing third all-time in 3-pointers made, despite being considered a poor outside shooter

Jason Kidd speaks during a news conference July 12, 2012, at the New York Knicks training facility in Tarrytown, N.Y. The New York Knicks said Kidd has decided to retire from the NBA after 19 seasons. when he came into the league. Dirk Nowitzki, who played with Kidd on the Mavs’ title team, wrote on Twitter that Kidd was “one of the best point guards ever and one of the fiercest competitors I have ever played with.” “Amazing career,” Nowitzki wrote. “He always put the team and winning first. All the best to him in retirement.” The Knicks signed Kidd away from Dallas last summer with a three-year deal, and he helped them flourish with a lineup that often featured two point guards. They won 54 games and their first Atlantic Division title since 1994, which was just before Kidd was drafted by Dallas with the No. 2 overall pick. “Jason’s value to the Knicks and the National Basketball Association cannot be quantified by statistics alone,” Knicks general manager Glen Grunwald said. “Everyone here in New York saw firsthand what a tremendous competitor he is and why Jason is considered to be one of the best point guards, and leaders, the game has ever seen.” He got off to a rocky start with the Knicks, arrested on a drunken-driving charge shortly after signing last July – Kidd also was arrested on a domestic violence charge while playing with Phoenix in 2001, acknowledging he struck his former wife – but he turned out to be the leader the team sought.

JPM finally consistently racing for wins

Looking forward

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Juan Pablo Montoya has had 218 chances to win on an oval in NASCAR. He coughed up two legitimate opportunities to win at Indianapolis, and probably never had a realistic shot at Victory Lane in the others. Until now. Montoya finally is running consistently well at tracks other than road courses and putting himself in position for that breakthrough victory on an oval. It’s made his two near-misses this season painful to watch because they come at a time when Montoya desperately needs to prove his worth. Montoya finished second Sunday at Dover, where he was passed on the outside by race-winner Tony Stewart with three laps remaining. Stewart, mired in his own losing streak and trying to save his championship chances, had fresher tires and cruised past Montoya for the victory. Montoya isn’t necessarily racing for a spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship – he’s only made the Chase once in six years and went into Sunday ranked 23rd in the standings. But if Chip Ganassi doesn’t pick up the option on his current contract, Montoya could be out of a job next year and possibly out of NASCAR altogether. Ganassi has been noncommittal on Montoya this year, and his last public comments were in April. “We continue to work with him, try to get the most out of him,” Ganassi said of his longtime driver. “If I thought there was a quick fix, or if I thought there was something we’re doing – we’ve put people around him, put other people around him and put other people around him.” So now Montoya waits to see what happens or what else might be out there for him. The Colombian, a former Formula One driver, CART champion and Indianapolis 500 winner, is too proud to take a crummy job. His racing resumé is too rich to even consider a startand-park ride simply to keep his face in the NASCAR garage.

onto pit road, where Pattie called for four new tires as teammate Jamie McMurray only took two. It sent Montoya back onto the track in seventh, angry and frustrated, where he ultimately wrecked trying to pass cars in traffic as McMurray went on to win the race. Although he went on to win on the road course at Watkins Glen later that year, Montoya didn’t have another chance on an oval.

Bruins trounce Penguins to take 2-0 lead

FRENCH OPEN

Djokovic, Nadal on course for semis Still grieving Djokovic tops Kohlschreiber

Monday in Paris PARIS – A look at the French Open on Monday:

By HOWARD FENDRICH The Associated Press PARIS – Less than 48 hours after learning of the death of his childhood coach, Novak Djokovic was on court at the French Open, determined to complete a career Grand Slam in honor of the woman he likened to a “second mother.” Still grieving, Djokovic began shakily Monday. Six of the match’s first seven unforced errors were his. After one poor exchange, he chucked his racket hard enough to break it. He lost a set for the only time in four matches so far. After recovering quickly to dispatch 16th-seeded Philipp Kohlschreiber of Germany, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4, and reach the quarterfinals at a 16th consecutive major tournament, Djokovic spoke from the heart about the passing of Jelena Gencic, who was 76. “It hasn’t been easy, but this is life. You know, life gives you things [but also] takes away close people,” Djokovic said. “We were very close throughout my whole life, and she taught me a lot of things that are part of me, part of my character.” Gencic connected with a 6-year-old Novak at a tennis camp, then worked with him for five years. “I feel even more responsible now to go all the way in this tournament,” said the No. 1-ranked Djokovic, who owns six Grand Slam titles but none from Roland Garros. “I want to do it for her.”

Spain’s Rafael Nadal blows out the candles on his birthday cake as he celebrates his 27th birthday on center court after defeating Japan’s Kei Nishikori, 6-4, 6-1, 6-3, in their fourth-round match at the French Open on Monday at Roland Garros stadium in Paris. He’ll need to beat three more opponents to accomplish that, starting with 12th-seeded Tommy Haas, who at 35 became the oldest French Open quarterfinalist since 1971 by eliminating Mikhail Youzhny, 6-1, 6-1, 6-3, in less than 1½ hours. By the second set, Youzhny was so out of sorts he destroyed a racket by slamming it nine times against his sideline seat. Haas is a four-time Grand Slam semifinalist who climbed to No. 2 in the rankings at age 24. But recent times have been difficult because of serious injuries and operations, including to his right shoulder and hip, and he missed more than a full season. “Who would have thought two years ago I’d be in this position today?” Haas asked. “I wouldn’t have.” He’s certainly persistent. The 12 French Open appearances it took Haas to reach his first quarterfinal in Paris is a record. And he needed 13 match points in the third round to get past John Isner

in five sets. “It’s easy sometimes to ... throw the white towel and say, ‘I’m done. I have achieved a lot of things. I don’t really have to worry so much financially and I can live a good life.’ But at the same time,” Haas explained, “maybe there was something in me still that said, ‘You know what? I can maybe still do something.’ ” If Djokovic can get past Haas, he’ll find a familiar foe in the semifinals: seven-time French Open champion Rafael Nadal, who played his first relatively routine opening set of the tournament and put together a 6-4, 6-1, 6-3 victory over No. 13 Kei Nishikori of Japan. Nadal, who beat Djokovic in last year’s final and is 56-1 in his French Open career, declared: “I played much better today than the first three matches. No doubt about that.” Consider that something of a warning for No. 9 Stanislas Wawrinka, who was trailing by two sets when he got into an extended and animated argument with the chair um-

RAIDERS

Raiders hope Roach is the man in the middle By MICHAEL WAGAMAN The Associated Press ALAMEDA, Calif. – Nick Roach lined up at middle linebacker, barked out a coverage adjustment, then quickly shifted behind the left side of the defensive line before bursting through to pressure Oakland rookie quarterback Tyler Wilson. After three Nick Roach years of getting little production out of the position, the Raiders think they’ve found a remedy in the 27-year-old veteran defender. Coach Dennis Allen has been gushing about Roach ever since the team signed him as a free agent in March as part of a defensive overhaul that included dumping former first-round

pire, demanding that a line judge be replaced. Wawrinka slowly, steadily turned the match around and edged No. 7 Richard Gasquet, 6-7 (5), 4-6, 6-4, 7-5, 8-6. Gasquet tired as the match stretched past four hours. Asked afterward where he felt pain, he replied: “In the soul, for sure. A little bit in the leg, too. But more in the soul.” Nadal began the first round by losing the first set. Did the same in the second round. In the third, he was taken to an opening tiebreaker. On Monday, Nishikori started well, winning each of the first five points that lasted at least 10 strokes, no easy feat against Nadal.

draft pick Rolando McClain. “Nick’s highly intelligent and he’s athletic,” Allen said Monday. “He’s done a nice job of kind of being the quarterback of our defense. He really has a passion about leading that team ... and he’s got some things that he can do from a coverage standpoint that lends some flexibility to us.” Roach spent the past six seasons mostly playing on the strong side of the Bears’ defense while pulling spot duty as a backup to middle linebacker Brian Urlacher. When Urlacher missed the final four games of the 2012 season with a hamstring injury, Roach took over and played well. The Bears had hoped to resign Roach in the offseason but the two sides failed to reach an accord. When he became a free agent, Oakland general manager Reggie McKenzie was among the first to call.

Seniors not so successful 4 years ago

Top 10 moments of the 2012-13 preps sports season

• SPARTANS

Continued from page B1

Continued from page B1 Just a few years ago, none of this seemed likely for Sycamore’s Class of 2013. “If you told me in the eighth grade that we would win regionals in basketball, make the playoffs (in football) and almost beat Montini, and win regionals in baseball, I would’ve just laughed,” Compher said. Four years ago, Compher and his classmates struggled. He remembers scoring only one touchdown during the eighth-grade football season and winning a mediocre six games during basketball season. Few of the Spartans played travel baseball, instead playing in the park district league. But athletic director Chauncey Carrick knew there was hope for this class, recalling the words a veteran coach told him after he became the wrestling coach in 1998. “He told me that he never really worried about how good people were in the seventh and eighth and ninth grades, he worried about how good they’d be as juniors and seniors,” Carrick said. “I think our senior class is a great example of that. … That senior class worked their tails off. They lifted weights, they worked hard and, most importantly, they got great coaching. If you put great coaching with the kids who are willing to put the time in, you’re going to have success.” That middle school failure certainly didn’t affect the Spartans in the long run. The Spartans football team charged out to a 4-0 record, beating rival DeKalb and Lincoln Way West, which ended Kaneland’s season in the playoffs. The Spartans finished the season 6-3 before losing to eventual state champion Montini, 24-22, in heartbreaking fashion in the second round of the playoffs. Four two-sport stars made the Daily Chronicle All-Area football team – wrestlers Austin Culton and Jake Davis, baseball player Brett Weaver and basketball forward Ben Niemann. Quarterback Devin Mottet and ace pitcher Scott Nelson

9. Genoa-Kingston’s Wakeley makes state

G-K senior Emily Wakeley became the school’s first female golfer to qualify for the state tournament. She finished in a tie for 39th at state.

8. Indian Creek’s Schilling doubles up

Indian Creek sophomore Emily Schilling wasn’t overwhelmed in her first appearance in the Class 1A track and field state meet. Schilling took seventh in the 800 meters and followed it up with a fifth-place finish in the 1,600, gaining medals in both events.

Kaneland relays finish first, second

A core of five juniors provided the Knights with the talent necessary to be a title contender in the 4x800 and 4x400 relays. Kaneland finished first in the 4x800 relay and took second in the 4x400 in the Class 2A track and field state meet.

6. Clinton, Schrader shine at state

As success began to build, so did excitement, and the new pep club grew from about 30 students to 90. “Since we were winning, people were talking about it,” said Curtis Swartzendruber, a baseball player and one of the leaders of the pep club. “There was a huge buzz. Last year, kids didn’t really talk about it much. … Word of mouth got more people to go. There was a buzz in the hallway, no doubt.” After just missing out on a conference title, the Spartans won their first regional title in eight years. Finally, spring came and the baseball and track teams made this year a historical one. One week after sophomore Dion Hooker won the 200 and finished sixth in the 100 in the state meet and senior David Emmert finished fifth in the 800, the Sycamore baseball team advanced to

its first sectional title game since 2004. The Spartans lost, 1-0, closing out one of the best boys athletic years at Sycamore in recent memory. “After seeing all of the other sports do well, wrestling did well, our golf team was pretty good, everything had a pretty successful season, so in baseball, we wanted to keep that going,” Swartzendruber said. “We talked about it a little bit during practices.” One of the best years in Sycamore boys sports history came without a single threesport varsity letterman. To Compher, that’s part of what makes this group of Sycamore athletes special. A few athletes didn’t carry Sycamore to success; they accomplished it as an ensemble. “That goes to show how diverse our class is,” Compher said. “Everyone was diverse in some way, so we could play different sports. No one was the famed ‘best athlete.’ We had athletes that were different, but also very good, as well.”

A strong corps of seniors led H-BR to its first appearance at state since 2003. The Royals upended rival Somonauk in a regional final and edged Earlville, 1-0, in a sectional final.

Children can be taught to appreciate solitude Dear Abby: I would like to respond to “Solitary Woman in Ottawa, Canada” (March 5), the expectant mom who asked how she could raise her child to enjoy “periods of quiet, reflective fun by himself.” I have two children, ages 7 and 1. Like “Solitary,” I also enjoy time to myself, whether reading, writing or going for a hike. When my son was born, I felt it was important to give him confidence and the ability to be self-sufficient. Therefore, we have him help us with chores like grocery shopping and encourage him to make healthy, responsible choices. When he was 2 and stopped taking naps, we told him he had to have “quiet time” and that reading to himself was

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips one of the options. As a result, our son is self-motivated, an avid reader and writer, and has an intellectual curiosity most adults don’t have. He is teaching himself cursive writing and is interested in learning a foreign language. We live in the Colorado Rockies, and getting rid of our TV set was one of the best things our family has ever done. Instead of tuning each other out, we enjoy conversation, creating and sharing our days together. I have never been happier as a father or

husband. I am concerned for people who are afraid of silence. I suspect it’s a sign of sensory bombardment. The human mind needs moments of clarity brought on by reflection. – Dad Who Gets It Dear Dad: Thank you for your letter. I received many thoughtful comments from people who identify strongly with “Solitary’s” point of view: Dear Abby: Your advice to “Solitary Woman” was good, but did not start soon enough. She should provide stimulating crib and playpen toys to teach her son at an early age that he can control some aspects of his environment. Having this ability is the key to enjoying solitude.

When my daughter was 7 weeks old, I attached a mobile fashioned from a white wire coat hanger and rainbow-hued origami cranes to her bassinet. I wiggled it and watched her smile at the moving colored birds. When the movement stopped, she became frustrated and began to whimper and kick and flail her arms. The paper birds moved again. She lay still and watched them. When they stopped the second time, she didn’t whimper but just moved herself in the bassinet. She had learned she could control her environment. As a toddler she could leave her playmates and pursue solitary activities in the quiet of her own room. I am convinced that her bassinet

experience was the basis for learning to be happy by herself and with herself. – Smart Mama in El Cajon, Calif. Dear Abby: According to a journalist and mother who published a book on the topic, when an infant cries, wait a few minutes and listen before reaching out. This gives the baby time to learn how he feels with himself, and to deal with it emotionally. After five minutes or so, if the baby has a real need, then you can reach for him. Doing it too quickly prevents this crucial process of learning to be with oneself. – Another Solitary Canadian

Special treatment not required in all cases Dear Dr. K: I recently had a PSA test and my levels came back elevated. I’m scheduled to have a prostate biopsy. What can I expect? Dear Reader: The prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test is a screening test designed to detect prostate cancer before symptoms develop. An elevated PSA value can suggest that cancer may be present. But only a prostate biopsy can confirm the actual presence of cancer. A prostate biopsy involves removing snippets of tissue from the prostate and checking them for cancerous cells under a microscope. Your prostate gland lies right next to your rectum, and the rectum is a passageway inside your body. During the biopsy, your

ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff doctor will insert an ultrasound probe into your rectum. The ultrasound probe sends out sound waves that travel into the prostate and bounce back like an echo in a canyon. When they bounce back, they create a picture of your prostate gland. The picture shows the parts of the prostate that look like they might have cancer. This helps identify the best targets for the biopsy. Guided by the ultrasound picture, the doctor uses a spring-loaded “biopsy gun” that directs a needle into the part of the prostate that looks

cancerous. The device quickly sends a needle through your rectal wall and into the prostate. The needle removes small tissue samples – a typical biopsy removes 10 to 12 samples. When the needle is withdrawn from the body, the prostate tissue inside the needle is examined with a microscope to look for cancer. You may feel a slight pinch as the needle punches into the prostate gland and takes the sample. Most men feel only mild to moderate discomfort. Possible risks of a prostate biopsy include: • pain • erectile problems • blood in the urine or stool • short-term rectal bleeding • blood in the semen

• difficulty urinating • urinary incontinence • urinary tract or prostate gland infection If your biopsy result is positive, that means it has confirmed the presence of cancer in your prostate. If the biopsy specimen shows cancer, it’s cancer. But some prostate cancers just sit there for the rest of your life and never cause trouble, whereas others do cause problems. The main question your doctor asks when the biopsy is positive: What kind of prostate cancer is this? The detailed biopsy findings will help you and your doctor decide what kind of prostate cancer you have, the extent and location of the cancer, and how malignant the

cells look. This information helps your doctor determine how aggressive your cancer will be and the best course of action. If no cancerous cells are found in the samples, that’s a good sign. But there’s still some room for doubt. About 10 percent of biopsies are “false negatives.” This means they have missed existing cancer. Yes, the prostate biopsy can have side effects and can sometimes miss cancer. But the development of ultrasound pictures and biopsy guns and needles has made the diagnosis of prostate cancer much more accurate and has saved many lives.

Family factors are common cause in teen suicide Dr. Wallace: A month ago, my cousin and his girlfriend overdosed on drugs and both of them died. We know it was suicide because they left suicide notes to their parents. I went to the funeral, and it was the saddest moment of my life. They were buried side by side. Friends and relatives of both teens were in total shock and grief. He was a star athlete, and she was a senior homecoming princess. They were the perfect couple and seemed to have everything to live for. I can understand people killing themselves when they are sick or old or have huge financial problems. However, it is difficult to comprehend why two young adults who

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace seem to have the world by the tail would commit suicide. Since you are an expert on teenagers, I’m hoping you can shed light on this very complex issue of teen suicide. Why does this happen? – Carla, San Francisco, Calif. Carla: Suicide is an enormous tragedy that leaves a family filled with grief and guilt, but when a young person is involved, emotions are compounded. According to the American Mental Health Association, suicide is the 10th leading cause of

TODAY – Although you will be able to reach some important objectives in the year ahead, it may not be easy. Success comes at a price, and you have to be willing to pay it. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – You’ll be more alert to opportunities and nuances in the morning than in the afternoon. As you tire, you could easily start to miss things. CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Your methods could be quite imaginative and innovative today. Don’t let associates who cannot match your thinking shut you down. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – If you put too much emphasis on your own interests, expect to meet with resistance from others. Conversely, when you are considerate of other people, good things can happen. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Be extremely careful of your words when talking to a sensitive friend. What you think is merely a harmless comment could be construed as offensive. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – A project might require more resources than you have at your disposal. To be on the safe side, have someone at your side, ready to help out. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Even though you usually are a cooperative person, today you might not be a team player. Remember, when you make things tough on others, you make things tough on yourself as well. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – If you want to have a productive day, you must follow a realistic plan. If you don’t, all of your time will be spent cleaning up messes. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – There isn’t likely to be anything wrong with the way you think, but you might have to compromise to placate another. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Some lucky developments are a strong possibility. However, unless you’re willing to share the benefits with others, you could end up feeling dismal. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Most of your affairs will turn out favorably, with one exception. There is a possibility you might repeat an error in judgment that you’ve made before. Live and learn. ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Don’t take anything at face value, especially financial matters. There could be hidden benefits as well as hidden pitfalls. Pay close attention to detail. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – A willingness to cooperate and a desire to do what’s best for all will ease many of the day’s confrontations. Do more giving than taking.

death for adults, but for teens it’s the third leading cause. Every day, an estimated 18 teens take their own lives and another 57 teens and preteens attempt suicide. For many, the teen years are the most trying and painful of their lives. There seems to be no middle ground. It’s either happiness or despair. Teens are trying to establish an identity, learning to operate independently, growing physically and intellectually, choosing a career and developing relationships. In a period when family instability is on the rise, some teenagers find they cannot cope with life. Parents may contribute by making impossible demands on teens and

8SUDOKU

by rejecting them for failing to live up to Mom and Dad’s expectations, or by making the teen feel worthless. When a teen commits suicide, family factors are the most commonly cited cause. Death, divorce, alcoholism, drug abuse and child abuse – any of these – add to loneliness and depression. Researchers at the University of Southern California interviewed 6,000 teens who had attempted suicide and compared their life histories with those of a group of teens who had never tried suicide. The self-destructive teens had a much higher percentage of parents who had divorced, separated or remarried within the past five

years. Multiple separations – being shunted from relatives to foster homes, missing the support of parents – deprived the suicide-prone teens of the necessary love every child needs. The study traced the path to suicide from family problems to a second stage, school failures, truancy, loneliness and depression. In the third and final phase, the teen tries to fasten onto someone. It is so clinging, so smothering, that it can’t last. When this relationship fails, the teen feels hopeless and isolated. He or she thinks the only solution left is self-destruction.

8CROSSWORD

BRIDGE Phillip Alder

The entry is there for a moment Peter Thomson, an Australian golfer who won the British Open five times, said, “Every tournament has its climax, its winning moment. If you’re not watchful, you will miss it and lose your best chance.” A bridge deal often has its winning moment. If you’re not watchful, you will err and go down in your contract or fail to defeat the declarer. In this deal, South is in five clubs. West leads a low heart, East winning with his king and (best) continuing with the heart ace. How can South prevail? After South’s strong artificial opening and North’s weak artificial response, the bidding was natural. East thought about sacrificing in five hearts, but was dissuaded by the unfavorable vulnerability. (Five hearts doubled should cost 500.) Declarer seems to have 11 easy tricks: one spade, five diamonds and five clubs. However, to get five diamond tricks, South must draw trumps, unblock his ace and king of diamonds, and get to the dummy. What is his dummy entry? It is the club eight. But if South ruffs the second heart in the dummy, that will be the losing moment, destroying that entry when the trumps break 3-1, not 2-2. Instead, declarer should discard a spade from the board at trick two. If East continues with a third heart, South’s prettiest play is to ruff with his club nine, draw trumps, cash the top diamonds, overtake the club seven with dummy’s eight, and run the diamonds. Alternatively, South can ruff low, pitch a second spade from the board, draw trumps, cash his two diamonds and spade ace, and enter the dummy with a spade ruff.
