NIU President John Peters discusses a 2 percent increase in tuition for incoming Northern Illinois University freshmen and transfer students, along with all graduate-level students, during the Northern Illinois University Board of Trustees meeting Thursday at Altgeld Hall in DeKalb. The board unanimously approved the increase.

NIU approves small tuition increase; state aid stays flat

By DAVID THOMAS dthomas@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Northern Illinois University has shifted from a state-funded university to a state-assisted one, in President John Peters’ view.

The state has allocated about $93 million to NIU for the fiscal year that starts July 1, roughly the same amount the school received for the fiscal year about to end. Considering that Gov. Pat Quinn wanted to slash higher education funding, the outgoing NIU president said he was delighted at the school’s level of funding.

“We had a flat budget, which was a miracle,” said Peters, who will retire June 30.

On Thursday, the NIU Board of Trustees approved tuition rate increases of 2 percent that will affect new in-state undergraduate students and existing graduate-level students – about 28 percent of students. NIU’s enrollment is usually around 22,000 students.

State funds will represent 20 percent of the university’s expected $453.9 million in revenue for the upcoming school year. NIU officials have said this is the same amount of state funding received in 1995.

As state funding has dwindled, Peters said student enrollment and retention have been essential, but up to a point.

“As a state institution, our tuition costs are directly correlated to state support for NIU’s operating budget,” Peters said during the meeting. “We cannot possibly, and would not raise tuition to offset the state’s delinquency and support levels, nor should we ever contemplate that.”

Steve Cunningham, acting executive vice president of business, said the tuition increase is based on many factors, including state funding, operating costs and economic indicators.

“We’re looking at a period of conservative tuition increases because of the economy,” Cunningham said. “We have low inflation in the economy. ... Affordability and access are very important.

We’re trying to stabilize our rate of growth in tuition.”

Tuition is based on the number of credit hours a student takes.

See TUITION, page A8

Peters discusses the tuition increase at the meeting Thursday.

In-state tuition costs Tuition costs for NIU and other state universities assume that the student is an undergraduate who lives in the state and does not qualify for any special programs. The dollar amounts are how much a student would pay per year if they were taking 15 credit hours.

SYCAMORE – DeKalb County State’s Attorney Richard Schmack said his predecessor was too aggressive with the Northern Illinois University “coffee fund” scandal, after the last case ended with a plea agreement Thursday.

Schmack, who defeated former State’s Attorney Clay Campbell in the November election, said the nine people charged after an investigation into an offthe-books scrap metal recycling operation never should have faced felony charges typically punishable by up to seven years in prison. Campbell did not immediately return a call seeking comment Thursday.

Under Schmack’s direction, six of the cases were dropped and three ended with misdemeanor plea agreements. Seven of the defendants have returned to work at NIU, while one had retired before the charges were filed and the other is expected to return soon.

The coffee fund account maintained at Castle Bank was used for office retirement par-

Schmack said money was improperly diverted to the coffee fund, but was maintained by state employees and used for government functions, not personal gain.

“Some may disagree with the wisdom or prudence of governments using public funds for employee retirement luncheons, but until the state Legislature says otherwise, I do not

DeKALB – DeKalb Park District commissioners are expected to accept the resignation agreement of a park district employee at a special meeting at 10 a.m. today.

Neither Phil Young, president of the park board, or Cindy Capek, the park district’s executive director, returned calls for comment Thursday. The meeting agenda did not name anyone involved with the resignation agreement.

The special meeting comes nearly one month after park commissioners held a closeddoor meeting that Capek was asked not to attend. Commissioners, park district employees and Capek have declined to say whether she has been to work since that May 24 meeting, or whether she is an employee there at all.

Capek, whose annual salary is $116,981, did not attend a public meeting June 13, the park district’s first since the closed door meeting.

Within the past year, the park district has grappled with plans to renovate Hopkins Pool, as well as public outcry after ComEd cleared trees underneath power lines along the Na-

Portions of the trail have been replanted, and the pool renovations were put on hold May 9 after three new park commissioners – Per Faivre, Don Irving and Keith Nyquist – joined the board.

Capek is still listed as the executive director on the park district’s website, but her phone extension no longer works. The executive director office lacked personal effects as of June 13. In the alphabetized mailbox used by the administrative staff, the slot that would have Capek’s name is unmarked.

Privacy: Online, there is none In the wake of the National Security Agency scandal, people are asking: How much privacy do we have to surrender (or lose) to remain safe?

The issue of privacy erosion is not likely to abate soon. Outgoing FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III on Wednesday became the first official to publicly admit that the bureau had used surveillance drones inside the United States.

As long as you haven’t done anything wrong, we’re told, you have nothing to worry about.

Perhaps that’s a tad cynical. I suspect that much of our worry has little to do with terrorism or national security. It’s more about having our foibles, faults and flaws revealed to a larger audience.

I’ve done things I wouldn’t want spattered across cyberspace. Thankfully, as a recent Internet meme points out, one good thing about being older than 40 is that most of the crazy stuff my demographic did was before the modern internet.

So true.

But back to privacy. Our sense of privacy erosion online is real and manifests not only as a matter of security concern, but also of commerce.

Nanosecond by nanosecond, we lose privacy via at least three significant avenues: 1. The U.S. government collects vast amounts of information. As the Washington Post and others reported a couple weeks ago, “The National Security Agency and the FBI are tapping directly into the central servers of

THE FINE LINE Jason Akst nine leading U.S. Internet companies, extracting audio and video chats, photographs, emails, documents, and connection logs that enable analysts to track foreign targets.”

Through the once secret – now infamous – PRISM system, trillions of communications are scooped up that include ordinary Americans, even though the focus is on international communications.

Facebook’s top attorney said last week that the company received permission to make new but still very limited revelations about government orders to turn over user data.

The Associated Press reported that Facebook received about 10,000 government requests from all government entities in the last six months of 2012.

The requests involved the accounts of about 19,000 Facebook users.

2. Personal information is increasingly a commodity. Collectively (but not always accurately) known as “Big Data,” companies large and small are using large databases as drivers of advertising and marketing. In one famous example, Target’s data crunchers correctly determined from shopping patterns that a teenager was pregnant before she had disclosed her condition to family members or the store.

Big Data is troubling on two counts.

First, it’s creepy that numbers seemingly paint who we are and what we’re going to do, say, or buy. Second – and more ironic – social scientists are warning about hidden biases in using data to predict humanity … but is the business community listening?

Kate Crawford, principal researcher at Microsoft Research and a visiting professor at the MIT Center for Civic Media, writes that “Data and data sets are not objective, they are creations of human design. We give numbers their voice, draw inferences from them, and define their meaning through our interpretations. Hidden biases in both the collection and analysis stages present considerable risks, and are as important to the big-data equation as the numbers themselves.”

3. Americans, concerned about privacy, still freely publicize a large amount of personal information.

As the Pew Internet & American Life Project noted in May, “Youth are sharing more personal information on their profiles than in the past. They choose private settings for Facebook, but share with large networks of friends.” Among teens with Facebook profiles, 14 percent have set their profiles so that everyone can see postings.

Among teens with Twitter profiles, 64 percent have set profiles so everyone can see postings.

8 TODAY’S TALKER

WHO study details domestic violence The ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON – In the first major global review of violence against women, a series of reports released Thursday found that about a third of women have been physically or sexually assaulted by a former or current partner.

The head of the World Health Organization, Dr. Margaret Chan, called it “a global health problem of epidemic proportions,” and other experts said screening for domestic violence should be added to all levels of health care.

Among the findings: 40 percent of women killed worldwide were slain by an intimate partner, and being assaulted by a partner was the most common kind of violence experienced by women.

Researchers used a broad definition of domestic violence, and in cases where country data was incomplete, estimates were used to fill in the gaps.

WHO defined physical violence as being slapped, pushed, punched, choked or attacked with a weapon.

Sexual violence was defined as being physically forced to have sex, having sex for fear of what the partner might do and being compelled to do something sexual that was humiliating or degrading.

The report also examined rates of sexual violence against women by someone other than a partner and found

The leader of Exodus International, a Christian ministry that worked to help people repress same-sex attraction, has apologized to the gay community for inflicting “years of undue suffering.” He plans to close the organization while launching a new effort to promote reconciliation.

“The church has waged the culture war, and it’s time to put the weapons down,” Alan Chambers told The Associated Press on Thursday, hours after announcing his decision at Exodus’ annual conference and posting his apology online.

People hold banners during a March 5 demonstration against domestic violence near Big Ben in London, in the lead-up to International Women’s Day. About a third of women worldwide have been physically or sexually assaulted by a former or current partner, according to the first major review of violence against women. about 7 percent of women worldwide had previously been a victim.

In conjunction with the report, WHO issued guidelines for authorities to spot problems earlier and said all health workers should be trained to recognize when women may be at risk and how to respond appropriately.

Globally, the WHO review found 30 percent of women are affected by domestic or sexual violence by a partner.

The report was based largely on studies from 1983 to 2010. According to the United Nations, more than 600 million women live in countries where domestic violence is not considered a crime.

good at Exodus, there has also been bad,” Chambers said at the conference.

“We’ve hurt people.”

Based in Orlando, Fla., Exodus was founded 37 years ago and claimed 260 member ministries around the U.S. and abroad. It offered to help conflicted Christians rid themselves of unwanted homosexual inclinations through counseling and prayer, infuriating gay rights activists in the process.

Exodus had seen its influence wane in recent years as mainstream associations representing psychiatrists and psychologists rejected its approach.

However, the idea that gays could be “converted” to heterosexuality through prayer persists among some evangeli-

cals and fundamentalists.

The announcement that Exodus would close was not a total surprise.

Last year, Chambers – who is married to a woman but has spoken openly about his own sexual attraction to men – said he was trying to distance his ministry from the idea that gays’ sexual orientation can be permanently changed or “cured.”

In his statement Thursday, Chambers said the board had decided to close Exodus and form a new ministry, which he referred to as reducefear.org.

He told the AP that the new initiative would seek to promote dialogue among those who’ve been on opposite sides in the debate over gay rights.

DeKalb considers aid to nonprofits

By DAVID THOMAS dthomas@shawmedia.com DeKALB – DeKalb aldermen are expected to vote Monday to send thousands of dollars to local nonprofit organizations.

With the fiscal year beginning July 1, the City Council is expected to sign off on distributing $381,722 to human service agencies and other nongovernmental organizations. The funds were included in the budget they approved earlier this month.

The Voluntary Action Center, for instance, will receive $31,855 from the city, while Elder Care Services of DeKalb County will receive

Latest Day of Caring event called a success

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com DeKalb – It was pretty easy for Glenn Harris to volunteer in DeKalb.

Harris, who attends Northern Illinois University, searched online for volunteer opportunities in the city and found hundreds of them.

He got involved with the Red Cross in DeKalb two weeks ago and Thursday, found himself pulling weeds out of garden beds during Kishwaukee United Way’s annual Day of Caring.

“It’s good to help people,” Harris said. “You never know if what you’re doing is helping, but I’m sure it is.”

Harris was one of about 270 volunteers taking part in Day of Caring, which helps nonprofit agencies and businesses throughout the county with a variety of projects. Each volunteer is assigned to an agency or business by Kishwaukee United Way, and works on projects ranging from cleaning cars to delivering meals to painting stairways.

Harris joined other volunteers assigned to the DeKalb County Community Gardens to help harvest and plant fresh produce near 2500 N. Annie Glidden Road. The organization donates food to local food pantries and farmers markets.

The garden the volunteers worked in Thursday is one of 37 the organization maintains throughout the county. The harvested vegetables will be donated to the DeKalb County Health Department’s Women, Infants, and Children program and Barb’s Food Mart in DeKalb.

WIC is a public nutrition

program for low-income women who are pregnant, recently had a baby, or are breastfeeding, and for children up to age 5. Women can sign up for the program when they’re first pregnant and receive food coupons and vouchers.

Having fresh produce from the gardens helps supplement food normally given to children, said Kay Chase, WIC and family case management coordinator for the health department.

“We don’t have funding for our staff to do anything like this,” Chase said.

Jennifer Corbin, who works as a teaching assistant for Founders Elementary School in DeKalb, helped pull weeds from the garden. She participated in Day of Caring in the past by painting the front steps of the Glidden Homestead in DeKalb.

“I personally love gardening, and I wanted to help out the community,” Corbin said.

It was another successful Day of Caring, said Jackie DiNatale, the Kishwaukee United Way’s coordinator of outreach and finance. Day of Caring attracted about 40 youth volunteers, twice last year’s number.

Projects were completed at a fast rate and volunteers were willing to go to other projects that needed more people, she said. Volunteers who stopped by the American Midwest Bank kickoff event in Sycamore were given T-shirts with the slogan Live United.

It was about the power of one person giving back, she said.

“If we all band together, [the community] can be a much better place,” DiNatale said.

No bond reduction in DeKalb choking case

By JILLIAN DUCHNOWSKI jduchnowski@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – A judge declined to reduce bail Thursday for a 21-year-old Genoa man accused of choking a DeKalb woman days after he was convicted of domestic battery against another woman.

Jeremiah Picurro, of the 200 block of North Hadsall Street, remained in DeKalb County jail unable to post 10 percent of his $75,000 bond.

Picurro said he couldn’t afford the fees for electronic home monitoring, but Presiding Judge Robbin Stuckert said she wouldn’t reduce the bail without him participating in the program.

Picurro pleaded guilty to misdemeanor domestic battery May 3 and was sentenced to two years of conditional discharge, court records show.

He admitted to punching an ex-girlfriend in the stomach

three or four times but, as part of a plea agreement, prosecutors dropped charges alleging he raped her and refused to let her out of his car July 4, 2010.

Five days after accepting the plea agreement, Picurro was charged with aggravated domestic battery Jeremiah for allegedly Picurro choking a different woman at her home in DeKalb, court records show.

He was also charged with interfering with the reporting of domestic violence for allegedly taking the woman’s phone when she tried to call police, court records show.

If convicted of the more serious charge, aggravated domestic battery, Picurro could be sentenced to up to seven years in prison. He is next due in court Thursday.

If you go What: DeKalb City Council meeting When: Monday – Committee of the Whole at 6 p.m.; City Council at 7 p.m.

Where: DeKalb Municipal Building, 200 S. Fourth St. $12,742. The Egyptian Theatre will receive $100,000 in tax increment financing to help with the ongoing renovations. Some of those renovations include replacing the theater organ and expanding the bathrooms and box office area.

Interim City Manager

Rudy Espiritu said all of these items are provided for in the $77.4 million budget the City Council approved June 10.

City Council members also will consider paying the DeKalb Chamber of Commerce’s requested $45,000 to take over the event-planning activities of Re:New DeKalb.

Re:New DeKalb is expanding its scope to the entire city, and will be privately funded.

In addition, city leaders are expected to renew their agreements with the DeKalb County Economic Development Corp. and the DeKalb County Convention and Visitors Bureau at the cost of $45,000 and $50,000, respec-

tively.

City officials pointed to the economic development corporation’s help in attracting manufacturers HA Phillips and Ryerson to the area.

They also described the visitors bureau as being instrumental in helping DeKalb land the hosting bid for the IHSA State Football Championships until 2021.

City leaders also are expected to vote on retaining some of their outsourced city services, including City Attorney Dean Frieders of Frieders Law, economic development consultant Roger Hopkins of Hopkins Solutions, and lobbying firm mCapitol Management.

‘Appalling’ email spurs GOP rift

By KERRY LESTER The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – An Illinois Republican official resigned from his leadership post Thursday amid outrage over an email in which he berated a biracial former Miss America as a “street walker” who could fill a law firm’s “minority quota” if she loses her bid for Congress.

The controversy, involving a county GOP leader in central Illinois who campaigned for U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis, created a new rift for Republicans already struggling to expand and attract women and minority voters.

U.S. Rep. Davis deRodney m a nded the Davis resignation of the county official, Jim Allen, after learning of what he called a “wrong, appalling and incredibly demeaning” email targeting Erika Harold, Davis’ opponent in the March 2014 Republican primary.

Sent to Republican blogger Doug Ibendahl, the email referred to Harold as a “street walker” and “love child” of Democrats and suggested the Harvard graduate could fill a “minority quota” at a law firm should she lose the race.

Ibendahl, also a former party official, posted the email Wednesday on his website.

“I hope some of these bullies learn a lesson from this,” he told The Associated Press on Thursday. “Our party has a huge branding problem nationwide, especially in Illinois. This guy’s attitude sets

Former Miss America Erika Harold, 33, announces her plans to challenge first-term U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis in the 2014 Republican primary at a June 4 event in Urbana.

It’s confirmation as to why women and minorities don’t take the Republican Party seriously.”

Allen apologized for his message in a brief statement to the (Champaign) News-Gazette and resigned from his post Thursday afternoon.

Harold released a statement, saying Allen’s comments have “no place within public discourse.”

Champaign County GOP Chairman Habeeb Habeeb – who is staying impartial in the 13th District GOP primary – was so offended by the comments he left a message for Harold and personally apologized to her father.

“I don’t see that kind of vitriol in everyday Republican circles,” Habeeb said. “The party has changed and these things just set us backward.”

The incident highlights the rocky path the national party has forged in recent months, with comments such as Allen’s derailing efforts by the GOP to become more of a “big tent” organization.

After performing poorly at the polls in November, Republican National Committee Chair Reince Priebus released a “prescription” for the party’s future. Along with changing its tone on social issues to win over younger and minority voters, the party would

need to make a concerted effort to elevate more women, he said.

Along with state party officials, Priebus on Thursday joined the chorus calling for Allen’s resignation, via Twitter.

“Chairman Allen’s astonishingly offensive views have no place in politics. He should apologize and resign immediately,” Preibus wrote.

Harold seeks to be catalyst for change in the GOP. When she announced her bid earlier this month, Harold said she believes she can help expand the party’s voting base and reach people who don’t traditionally vote Republican.

Dems call for Quinn’s gun verdict Action urged on Ill. concealed carry

By JOHN O’CONNOR The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – Some Illinois Democrats on Thursday urged the governor to act quickly on legislation allowing the carrying of concealed weapons in the state, saying they need him to accept or reject the measure so lawmakers can avert a “public safety and constitutional crisis” as they try to meet a court-ordered deadline.

Illinois’ General Assembly sent Gov. Pat Quinn a bill to end the state’s holdout as last in the nation to prevent concealed carry after a federal appeals court ruled in December that the ban violates the U.S. Constitution’s Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. The Democratic governor has been tight-lipped

about his intentions.

In a letter to Quinn on Thursday, 23 Democrats in the state Senate, including Senate President John Cullerton, said the governor should “make his intentions known” so lawmakers have time to react before the court’s July 9 deadline for implementing a plan.

The letter, obtained by The Associated Press, notes that authorities in a dozen counties are already refusing to prosecute those who carry concealed weapons. Some counties are setting up their own rules to allow public possession of concealed firearms because the existing law has been invalidated, even if it’s still on the books.

“If you intend to issue a veto or amendatory veto, we ask that you do it quickly. The General Assembly will need

Cigarette tax falls short of estimates Projected extra money for 2013 down 39 percent The ASSOCIATED PRESS SPRINGFIELD – Illinois’ $1-per-pack cigarette tax increase isn’t bringing in as much money as lawmakers had originally hoped, according to state figures.

The year-old tax that took effect last June raised the state levy on a pack of cigarettes from 98 cents to $1.98.

At the time, officials said the money would bring in desperately needed revenue as well as discourage people from smoking.

But the (Springfield) State Journal-Register reported Thursday that the tax is expected to bring in $212 million in extra money for the current fiscal year. That’s about 39 percent short of the $350 million projection, according to the Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability.

There’s typically a de-

cline in cigarette sales after a tax increase, as some people stock up before the rate hike, while others use it as a chance to stop smoking.

“This tax was discussed and talked about quite some time before it actually went into effect, so individuals went out and purchased in bulk a bunch of cigarettes, so more of those packs were sold under the lowered tax rate,” said Jim Muschinske, the commission’s revenue manager.

Total cigarette tax revenue for the year is expected to reach almost $788 million, up 37 percent from the previous year.

The money from the cigarette tax is used for the state’s general fund, Medicaid program and School Infrastructure Fund.

Because of the way the money is allocated, the lower-than-expected revenue means the state’s school construction fund will get about half of the $60 million that was initially projected this year. A long-term care provider fund won’t receive any money from the tax.

About the bill The legislation allows anyone who has a firearm owner’s identification card to get a concealed carry permit after passing a background check, undergoing 16 hours of training – the most in the nation – and paying a $150 fee.

Law enforcement agencies may object to an application by alerting a review board appointed by the governor. time to respond. Every day we get closer to the federal court’s July 9 deadline. Time is of the essence,” the letter said. “We urge you to act on this legislation now. The last thing we need is a public safety and constitutional crisis.”

Gun-rights advocates have maintained that blowing the deadline would mean any gun could be carried anywhere.

Others have argued it would

simply allow local municipalities to adopt highly restrictive carry ordinances.

Chicago has long tried to curb firearms possession and worked hard to retain its prohibition on assault-style weapons in the concealed-carry initiative.

The measure requires the same handgun-toting rules statewide. Quinn had advocated allowing larger cities to adopt their own restrictions in the name of “local control.”

Spokeswoman Brooke Anderson said Quinn has been carefully considering the proposal since it arrived in his office about two weeks ago.

“Gov. Quinn is reviewing every line of this legislation to ensure that public safety comes first,” Anderson said.

“This is a critical public-safety issue and it deserves careful review. This is not something that should be rushed into willy-nilly.”

Bernanke’s message of clarity lands with a thud The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – Wall Street investors wanted clarity from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke.

They didn’t like it when they got it.

Bernanke set the record straight Wednesday about the Fed’s bond-buying program.

He said the Fed expects to scale back bond purchases later this year and end it entirely by mid-2014 if the economy continues to improve.

In response, investors dumped stocks and bonds in anticipation of rising interest rates.

8STATE BRIEFS Illinois unemployment rate falls again in May CHAMPAIGN – Illinois’ unemployment rate fell in May to 9.1 percent, the state Department of Employment Security said Thursday, the second straight monthly drop after worrisome increases earlier this year.

The department chalked up part of the gain to improved construction hiring and much of the rest to jobs added in the professional and business services sector, which includes engineering and computer-aided design positions. Those jobs could be related to an improved construction outlook as well.

Despite the drop, unemployment in Illinois remains well above the national rate of 7.6 percent for May and the state’s jobless rate remains among the highest in the country. May figures for all 50 states won’t be available until today, but Illinois has been among the worst much of this year.

Court: MetLife must pay $2M tax-amnesty fine SPRINGFIELD – Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. is on the hook for a $2.2 million tax penalty imposed by a 2003 amnesty program even though it didn’t know it owed extra taxes at the time, the Illinois Supreme Court ordered Thursday.

In a 4-2 decision with one justice not taking part, the court ruled that the phrase “all taxes due” in the amnesty act means just that: taxes due, whether the taxpayer knows they are.

MetLife must forfeit the penalty on underpaid taxes from 1998 and 1999, despite not knowing what it had to cough up until an audit was finished in 2004, eight months after the amnesty ended.

John Calagna, MetLife communications vice president, said Thursday that company officials “need time to evaluate the ruling” and had no immediate comment.

Sen. deal near on immigration bill The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – A breakthrough at hand, Republicans and Democrats reached for agreement Thursday on a costly, military-style surge to secure the leaky U.S.-Mexican border and clear the way for Senate passage of legislation giving millions of immigrants a chance at citizenship after years in America’s shadows.

Lawmakers in both parties described a southern border that would be bristling with law enforcement manpower and technology as a result of legislation at the top of President Barack Obama’s second-term domestic policy agenda.

The emerging deal called for a doubling of the Border Patrol, with 20,000 new agents, 18 new unmanned surveillance drones, 700 miles of fencing and an array of fixed and mobile devices to maintain vigilance.

“This is a border surge.

We have militarized our border, almost,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican.

“Boots on the ground, drones in the air,” summed

$85 billion worth of Treasury and mortgage bonds a month since late last year. The purchases pushed long-term rates to historic lows, fueled a record-breaking stock market rally, encouraged consumers and businesses to borrow and provided a crutch to an economy hobbled by federal tax hikes and spending cuts.

Confusion about the central bank’s intentions set in last month after the Fed released a summary of its April 30-May 1 meeting: Several Fed policymakers said they were open to reducing the bond purchases as early as this week.

Bernanke, meanwhile, told Congress that the econo-

end them by mid-2014 – if the economy performed as well as the Fed expects. He said the bond-buying would probably end when the unemployment fell to “the vicinity of 7 percent” from May’s 7.6 percent.

Yet markets have been tumbling since Bernanke spoke. The Dow Jones industrials fell 206 points, or 1.4 percent, Wednesday and plunged another 353 points Thursday.

Economists at PNC Financial Services Group said the market sell-off was probably an “overreaction” to Bernanke’s comments. If the Fed scales back its bond purchases, after all, it would mean the economy is strengthening.

The plan was announced

by Sens. John Hoeven of North Dakota and Bob Corker of Tennessee, Republicans who had been publicly uncommitted on the legislation.

Both said other GOP fence-sitters would also swing behind the measure if the changes were incorporated, and by late in the afternoon, two had done so.

A final vote on the legislation is expected by the end of next week.

The next move would be up to the House, where majority Republicans are overwhelmingly opposed to granting citizenship to immigrants living in the United States illegally. Talks on any final compromise would be held in the fall – if then.

The White House declined to respond to requests for comment on the Senate proposal, even though congressional officials said administration officials were involved in the formal drafting of the terms.

3 spotted parachuting off Chicago’s Trump Tower CHICAGO – Chicago police were searching Thursday for three people who managed to leap from the top of North America’s second-tallest building overnight, using parachutes to float to the ground.

Police spokesman Ron Gaines says authorities began receiving 911 calls around 12:30 a.m. from people who saw the trio of BASE jumpers leap from the top of Trump International Hotel & Tower, a 1,389-foot building along the Chicago River in the city’s downtown. No injuries were reported and the three managed to get away.

House rejects farm bill, 62 Republicans vote no

By MARY CLARE JALONICK The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The House rejected a five-year, half-trillion-dollar farm bill Thursday that would have cut $2 billion annually from food stamps and let states impose broad new work requirements on those who receive them.

Those cuts weren’t deep enough for many Republicans who objected to the cost of the nearly $80 billion-a-year food stamp program, which has doubled in the past five years.

The vote was 234-195 against the bill, with 62 Republicans voting against it.

The bill also suffered from lack of Democratic support necessary for the traditionally bipartisan farm bill to pass. Only 24 Democrats voted in favor of the legislation after many said the food stamp cuts could remove as many as 2 million needy recipients from the rolls.

The addition of the optional state work requirements

by Republican amendment just before final passage turned away many remaining Democratic votes.

Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., and No. 2 Democrat Steny Hoyer of Maryland, both of whom voted for the bill, immediately took to

Cantor said it was a “disappointing day” and that Democrats had been a “disappointing player.”

Hoyer suggested that Republicans voted for the food stamp work requirements to tank the bill.

“What happened today is you turned a bipartisan bill, necessary for our farmers, necessary for our consumers, necessary for the people of America, that many of us would have supported, and you turned it into a partisan bill,” he said.

The Senate overwhelmingly passed its version of the farm bill last week, with about $2.4 billion a year in overall cuts and a $400 million annual decrease in food stamps – one-fifth of the House bill’s food stamp cuts.

The White House was supportive of the Senate version but had issued a veto threat of the House bill.

If the two chambers cannot come together on a bill, farm-state lawmakers could push for an extension of the 2008 farm bill that expires in September or negotiate a new bill with the Senate and try again.

8WORLD BRIEF

Daily Chronicle / Daily-Chronicle.com

Numbers muddy NSA debate The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – Seeking to win back public trust, the Obama administration has been throwing around a lot of numbers as it tries to describe – in as much detail as possible without jeopardizing national security – the terror plots it says were thwarted by the government’s sweeping surveillance of U.S. communications.

There’s 702, 215, 90, 50, 20, 12, 10 and four.

The numbers game is just part of the effort to convince skeptical Americans that the recently disclosed National Security Agency spy programs are vital in detecting and stopping extremist plots. But the approach has

produced relatively limited, often vague information, and it has ended up confusing many in Congress as lawmakers grapple with how to assure people that their privacy rights are protected along with their security.

There are questions about effectiveness that still lack answers, “and we’ve gotten some answers that need further clarity,” House Intelligence Committee member Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., said Thursday. He was referring to the so-called 215 program, which refers to the section of the anti-terror Patriot Act that authorizes the NSA to collect Americans’ phone records.

And, he added, “we also should ask in those cases where it was successful, how

dated were the records.”

Another NSA program – known as 702 – authorizes the agency to sweep up Internet usage data from all over the world that goes through nine major U.S.-based providers.

Officials have used the rest of the numbers in Capitol Hill testimony over the past week as they have sought to allay Americans’ concerns that the programs violate their privacy.

Top officials told Congress that the programs have been key in thwarting at least 50 terror plots across 20 countries. And, they said, an estimated 10 to 12 of those plots were directed at the U.S. But they’ve publicly offered only four cases as examples.

Jolie urges diplomatic end to Syrian civil war ZAATARI, Jordan – Angelina Jolie said Thursday the Syrian civil war is the world’s most acute humanitarian crisis and called on world leaders to make diplomatic efforts to end it succeed. Jolie spoke at Jordan’s largest camp for Syrian refugees, which she toured as

special envoy for the United Nations refugee agency.

“I appeal to the world leaders – please, set aside your differences, unite to end the violence, and make diplomacy succeed,” she told reporters, drawing attention to the U.N.’s World Refugee Day. Jolie is returning to her humanitarian work after announc-

ing last month that she had her breasts removed after discovering she has a genetic mutation that puts her at high risk of breast and ovarian cancer.

The actress said that by the end of this year, “half of Syria’s population – 10 million people – will be in desperate need of food, shelter and assistance.”

Daily Chronicle / Daily-Chronicle.com

Defense attorney: NIU should Ill. committee supports have handled cases internally bigger state pension cuts At a glance

• PLEA DEAL Continued from page A1 think it is a crime,” Schmack said in the news release. “It is also not criminally wrong for an NIU department to maintain its own bank account, although it’s certainly not a good accounting practice.”

His office pursued the plea agreement for supervisors and dropped the charges against their subordinates, Schmack said.

“I do believe that the lack of any intent to steal is made clear by the precise and detailed records which were maintained by all those involved, regardless of who actually controlled the account,” Schmack said in the news release.

Schmack’s comments came in a news release issued after prosecutors finalized a misdemeanor plea agreement with Kenneth Pugh, 57, of Sycamore.

Pugh stipulated that prosecutors could have proven him guilty of a violation of the State Property Control Act, and was sentenced to a year of court supervision.

That means no conviction will go on his record if he successfully completes the sentence.

Prosecutors dropped felony charges of official misconduct and theft as part of the agreement.

The three supervisors charged in the NIU “coffee fund” scandal accepted misdemeanor plea agreements. Here are the details.

Robert Albanese • Title: Former Associate Vice President of the Division of Finance and Facilities • Annual salary: $198,553 • Job status: Retired July 31 • Criminal sentence: 18 months of court supervision Lawrence Murray • Title: Manager of Property Control • Annual salary: $53,818 • Job status: On paid leave from Aug. 29 to June 1 • Criminal sentence: 16 months of court supervision Kenneth Pugh • Title: Director of Materials Management • Annual salary: $108,243 • Job status: On paid leave since Aug. 29 • Criminal sentence: 12 months of court supervision

“Mr. Pugh did not plead guilty; I think that’s an important distinction,” his defense attorney, Richard Larson, said. “He would not have been willing to plead guilty; he did not feel that he had committed a crime.”

Larson said NIU officials probably should have handled the cases as an internal personnel matter. The criminal case was stressful and embarrassing for Pugh, who has no criminal record and stood out “like a sore thumb” in the courtroom with other criminal defendants, Larson said.

“I think if the university, the university police and the prosecutor’s office had given a little more thought to the cost of these prosecutions on the lives of the defendants, they may not have handled it like they did,” Larson said.

He expects Pugh will return to work at NIU soon.

Pugh, director of materials management, has been on paid leave since Aug. 29.

It’s a similar deal to those Schmack’s office finalized with Lawrence Murray, NIU’s manager of property control, and Robert Albanese, former NIU associate vice president of the Division of Finance and Facilities.

Murray, 52, of Rochelle, was sentenced to 16 months of court supervision May 20 and returned to work June 1.

Albanese, 62, of Elburn, left the university July 31 after signing a separation agreement that said he faced unrelated “serious and substantial allegations of misconduct.” Albanese was sentenced March 18 to 18 months of court supervision.

8NATION BRIEF VA shows progress on disability claim backlog WASHINGTON – The Veterans Affairs Department is chipping away at a massive inventory of disability claims for veterans, reducing the number of claims considered backlogged by about 13 percent in recent

weeks. Republican lawmakers are skeptical that the trend will continue, but they’ve been unable to agree on a solution to a problem that has become a major headache for the Obama administration.

The VA pays disability benefits to veterans who are injured

or become ill as a result of their active service. For years, veterans have complained that it takes too long for their claims to be resolved. In March, more than 611,000 claims, or about 70 percent, were pending longer than 125 days.

– Wire report

The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – Eight of the 10 members of a committee tackling Illinois’ $97 billion pension crisis supported a proposal to unilaterally cut benefits, but members say they’re keeping an open mind as they begin working toward a compromise.

Lawmakers voted Wednesday to form a bipartisan committee to try to end a stalemate between the House and Senate on how to address the nation’s worst state pension shortfall, which was caused largely by years of legislators skipping or shorting the state’s pension payments.

The four legislative leaders appointed members from their respective caucuses, and the group is expected to begin meeting next week.

Gov. Pat Quinn has set a July 9 deadline for the committee to report back.

The Senate members are Democrats Linda Holmes, Kwame Raoul and Daniel Biss, and Republicans Bill Brady and Matt Murphy. The

House members are Democrats Elaine Nekritz, Art Turner and Mike Zalewski, and Republicans Darlene Senger and Jil Tracy.

All of the House members and three senators voted in favor of a bill backed by Speaker Michael Madigan, a Chicago Democrat, that imposed across-the-board cuts.

Holmes and Raoul preferred a union-supported bill sponsored by Senate President John Cullerton, also a Chicago Democrat, that gave retirees a choice between health insurance and cost-of-living increases in retirement.

That doesn’t mean the committee will stick with Madigan’s plan or that it’s a shoo-in to become law.

Members know any proposal they pitch must get through both chambers of the Legislature. In the Senate, majority Democrats have firmly backed Cullerton’s plan, which they say is more likely to survive an inevitable court challenge and is more fair to public employees and retirees.

Madigan refused to call that legislation for a vote in the House, but Cullerton and Holmes have said it has enough support there to be approved by a two-thirds majority of members. The speaker, Quinn and the two Republican leaders – Rep. Tom Cross and Sen. Christine Radogno – favor Madigan’s plan because it would save the state more money.

In a statement, a coalition of public employee unions known as We Are One Illinois said Wednesday that the committee was “heavily stacked” with supporters of the Madigan plan and that it would continue “to do everything possible” to advance the Cullerton-sponsored measure.

Holmes, who sponsored the union-backed bill and will sit on the committee, said she’s willing to listen to all options.

“Any time you put together a committee like this you have to say ‘OK, let’s throw everything on the table and at least look at it,’ ” the Aurora lawmaker said.

Tuition locked in for 9 semesters • TUITION Continued from page A1 Under the increase, an instate student taking 15 credit hours would pay $302.39 a credit hour, while an outof-state student would pay $604.77.

Graduate students would pay $342.33 a credit hour, while law students will pay $650.99 a credit hour.

Without taking into account any fees or room and board charges, an in-state undergraduate student taking 15 credit hours in the fall

and spring will pay $9,071.70 annually.

In-state freshmen at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign will pay an expected $11,834 in tuition for the 2013-14 academic year while Southern Illinois University-Carbondale will charge students $8,415 for the year.

Public universities in Illinois are subject to the state’s Truth-in-Tuition policy, which locks in a tuition rate for nine semesters. If a student doesn’t graduate by the end of that period, for the next three semesters

they will be charged tuition rates paid by students who enrolled one year after them.

NIU officials said the policy – which does not cover graduate, law and out-of-state students – requires them to anticipate costs and funding for the next five years.

“The problem in setting tuition is that we have to set the rate that will accommodate these students for the life of their stay here,” Peters said after the meeting. “... You have to figure inflation and everything else in there, so you’re taking a guess.”

Ill. must keep juveniles safe

8LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Stop continued property tax increases To the Editor: I am asking them, “Stop. Just stop!”

Sadly, I’ve observed a trend at the end of my tax bill since I moved into DeKalb in 1993. The little groups that govern us, can’t seem to keep our taxes moderate.

In fact, since 2009, the average mill rate for taxes went from 8.59 percent to 11.1 percent, about a 29 percent increase in taxes per $100.

Why a 29 percent increase, while property values have fallen 40 percent? School, park, city and county officials want more of our money regardless of the values of our homes.

District 428 justified the $130 million cost of a new high school with phantom population growth.

Between the city and the school district, they enact a $24,000 impact fee. It killed the jobs of plumbers, carpenters and construction workers, and ran

off prospective buyers. When the growth didn’t happen, they had to mothball buildings. Finally, when they receive an extra $36 million to lower the new high school’s impact, the money sits unused.

The city and park district don’t get high marks, either. They double-dipped. Years ago when the City Council bought vacant land on the west side for a new jail, they enacted a hotel and restaurant food tax to pay for it.

This spring, we again are subject to more “new” taxes to pay for jail construction. What happened to the other extra tax the city has been collecting for years? It was spent in new areas, like an unneeded inspection program. The city hired three more employees, added new pensions and bought new cars.

The DeKalb Park District installed in six or seven little neighborhood parks – all rarely used – shiny playground equipment at $25,000 to $30,000 a park. Nice, but unneeded. We are used to that. On

the east side, we have a graffiti-decorated skate park that sits empty regularly. Hear the chatter, “let’s build a new dog park, a new pool, and add more trails.”

DeKalb County doubled the size of the courthouse for “pennies”; big pennies on our tax bill. Even the library, after agreeing to an addition to be built for $20 million, increases it to $25 million. Kaching.

Each group cites reasons that budgets never go down. Please get the message: “Stop!” Leave our wallets alone. A 29 percent increase since 2009 is too much.

Thank you for saving Kiwanis Park To the Editor: On behalf of the Board of Directors of AYSO Region 193, I wish to express our sincere gratitude to the District 428 school board, DeKalb park board and their re-

spective staffs for saving Kiwanis Park.

We salute the vision and flexibility of both boards for the agreement they reached. We especially wish to acknowledge the citizens, who recognized the potential loss and worked tirelessly to preserve this irreplaceable community asset.

Thanks go to Bessie Chronopoulos for leading the way, and to Art and Laurie Erdmann, Phyllis Franzene, Bill Lynch, Jan Jacobson, Christine Gardner, Bill Colvin, Bill Barron, and all the citizens who signed petitions and put up yard signs.

Green space like Kiwanis Park is all too rare, but even more importantly to us, the children of our community will be playing soccer out there for generations to come.

We can all be proud that DeKalb came together to assure the right result.

Adding Democrats, 1 abortion bill at a time Earlier this week, I drove through miles of farmland east of Cleveland to give an evening talk at the public library in Jefferson, Ohio. Population 3,115, give or take a few.

It was standing room only, and my payment was a gracious audience and two dozen fresh eggs from the library director’s farm. Lovely eggs, ranging in color from pale white to the softest blue, almost too pretty to eat.

I share this with you so that you understand why I was a bit surprised when the Q-and-A portion of our program turned so quickly to women’s reproductive rights, as in: Why are Republicans still screwing around with them?

I expect such spirited discussions in big cities and even midsize towns, but until recently, I wasn’t on the receiving end of this righteous indignation in places such as rural Ohio. Jefferson, the county seat, is only 9.74 miles from my childhood home.

I’ve known these good people all my life, and it’s been fascinating to watch some traditional Republicans turn into Democrats right before my eyes.

It’s not that they’re all suddenly prochoice; it’s more that they’re feeling forced to declare themselves pro-woman.

Despite the election defeats in 2012, the majority of Republican legislators apparently still think it’s a good idea to rally the worst among us – they call them their “base” – by trafficking in superstition, misogyny and outright lies to endanger the lives of our daughters. Hence, we have the U.S. House of Representatives’ latest, most extreme anti-abortion bill – called, in the absence of scientific proof, the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act – which is bound to go nowhere.

The bill’s author, Arizona Republican Rep. Trent Franks, had to recuse himself from the floor debate after he declared,

VIEWS Connie Schultz during a committee markup, “The incidence of rape resulting in pregnancy [is] very low.”

Not to be outdone in the fact-free fight category, Texas Republican Rep. Michael C. Burgess insisted that in his years as an obstetrician, he witnessed the masturbatory prowess of male fetuses.

“They have movements that are purposeful,” Burgess said during a House Rules Committee meeting Monday. “They stroke their face. If they’re a male baby, they may have their hand between their legs. I mean, they feel pleasure. Why is it so hard to think that they could feel pain?”

As U.S. News & World Report’s Elizabeth Flock pointed out, most doctors say Burgess’ argument isn’t based in science – doctors such as Jeanne Conry, who is president of the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

“We certainly can see a movement of a fetus during that time, but in terms of any knowledge about pleasure or pain – there are no data to assess,” Conry told Flock.

“We don’t know enough about the biology and the science.”

Conry added, “For whatever reason in our country, when it comes to abortion we make statements based not on the science but based on observations and on emotion.”

In Ohio, a new Republican bill would force women who seek an abortion to wait longer, submit to an ultrasound and listen to a doctor spew the known falsehood that she is increasing her risk of breast cancer.

As the American Cancer Society states, unequivocally, “scientific research studies have not found a cause-and-effect relation-

ship between abortion and breast cancer.”

Two more facts to keep in mind, courtesy of the Guttmacher Institute: In the U.S., 88 percent of abortions are done in the first 12 weeks. Less than 1 percent are in the third trimester.

During this week’s library talk, a woman in the audience asked why Republicans continue to spew nonsense about abortion.

“They don’t really believe this stuff, do they?” another woman said.

I responded by sharing a story from 1979, when I was editor of my college newspaper, the Daily Kent Stater. Shortly before the fall semester began, we found out that an administrator had derailed plans to distribute a brochure about birth control methods during freshman orientation.

We dedicated several front pages to the topic. It was a birth control extravaganza, complete with diagrams, photographs and detailed instructions on how to prevent unplanned pregnancies. For weeks, we were inundated with phone calls and letters, many from outraged parents who apparently believed that their children planned to spend their four years of college holed up like monks in their dorm rooms.

Thirty-four years later, I still recall one particular father’s call. “You listen here, young lady,” he shouted into the phone. “I will never let my daughter stick an IUD up her rectum.”

“Good for you,” I said, “’cause that’s not where it goes.”

In 1979, that father sounded like an uninformed loon. Today, he could be a Republican member of Congress.

Locking a juvenile in prison should be a last resort in the criminal justice system and an action reserved for the worst offenders.

As a society, we still believe we have a responsibility to rehabilitate the life of a child who has made continuous bad decisions before they become an adult who makes even worse ones.

We treat most juveniles charged with crimes differently than we treat adults. We also house the worst offenders in separate places. These are obvious methods few reasonable people would dispute.

But what’s increasingly disturbing is the state’s inability to protect these juvenile prisoners from sexual assault and abuse while they are in the state’s custody. According to a recent U.S. Department of Justice study, Illinois juvenile prisoners are sexually victimized at a rate 35 percent greater than the For the record national average.

Of 461 Illinois juvenile According to a recent prisoners, more than 15 per- study, Illinois juvenile cent reported being sexualprisoners are sexually vicly victimized, often by staff timized at a rate 35 percent members. The attacks take greater than the national place in various locations average. That number is of these youth detention too high. centers, from showers and sleeping areas to recreation areas and kitchens.

The numbers are alarming, as are anecdotes from child inmates who reported that staff members gave them drugs or alcohol before the incidents.

State officials need to review these reports and address this issue immediately. Such attacks are criminal behavior and the absolute antithesis of what juvenile justice institutions are designed to do.

Employees who have perpetrated such acts must be criminally investigated and appropriately prosecuted. A thorough investigation must be completed from the highest level of juvenile justice to the lowest level.

Budget cuts across the state always have an impact, but if the state can’t protect juvenile inmates from sexual assault, then they shouldn’t house juvenile offenders at all.

8 ANOTHER VIEW

High Court’s ruling on gene patents overdue It seems obvious that a company shouldn’t hold a patent on something that the human body produces.

Proprietary patents, after all, protect the exclusive rights to make, use or sell a creation or invention – not something that occurs in nature.

Yet about 30 years ago, the U.S. government started issuing human gene patents to companies that do biomedical research. But last week, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously on what should have been apparent all these years. Justices rightly said that human genes cannot be “owned” or patented.

That’s a victory for health care consumers. They will have more access to genetic and other tests at lower cost. And it’s good for medical research, because scientists can conduct studies on genes without fear of being sued.

At the same time, the court ruled that companies can continue to patent a type of synthetic DNA that goes beyond simply isolating genes. The distinction can help companies protect their research and development investments.

The case involved a suit against Utah-based Myriad Genetics Inc., which was first to isolate the genes that have been linked to breast and ovarian cancer.

Because of the patents Myriad held on the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, it was the only company that could offer tests for them.

American Civil Liberties Union lawyers brought the suit challenging that monopoly on behalf of doctors, researchers and cancer patients.

Fortunately for patients, the high court said that gene patents of this kind are not valid. In the court’s unanimous decision, Justice Clarence Thomas wrote: “Myriad did not create anything. ... To be sure, it found an important and useful gene, but separating that gene from its surrounding genetic material is not an act of invention.”

Last month, BRCA1 and 2 testing received national attention when actress Angelina Jolie revealed that she had a preventive double mastectomy after testing positive for the gene.

Because they hold gene patents, biotech firms like Myriad have had monopolies on some genetic tests and have controlled the prices for those tests. Breast and ovarian cancer screening can cost more than $3,000, and some insurers won’t cover it for women with an average risk for the gene mutation. But now that the gene patent is invalid, other companies can offer the tests – often at much lower cost.

Though it was done for decades, it was never right for a company to have a monopoly over something created naturally by the human body.

The court made a wise decision on behalf of millions who will benefit from more affordable, accessible medical tests and individually targeted treatments.

HEAT WIN SECOND STRAIGHT

Bob Hewitt summoned to appear in SAfrican court JOHANNESBURG – Former Grand Slam doubles champion Bob Hewitt has been served a summons to appear in a South African court to face allegations he sexually abused young girls he coached decades ago, prosecutors told The Associated Press on Thursday.

South Africa’s National Prosecuting Authority said the summons was served to the 73-year-old Hewitt on Saturday. Hewitt was ordered to appear Aug. 16 at Boksburg Magistrate’s Court near Johannesburg, when he will learn what criminal charges he faces.

The NPA would not detail the charges against Hewitt. NPA spokeswoman Phindi Louw said Hewitt, who is believed to live in the town of Addo on South Africa’s south coast, would be informed of the charges when he appears in court.

Hewitt denied all the accusations when contacted by the AP in a telephone interview.

Hewitt confirmed that he had received the summons and would “of course” appear in court, but wouldn’t say what the charges were as “they had not been made public.”

“I’ll keep it private,” he said.

“I’m innocent of all charges and these accusations have caused untold hardship on my family.”

MIAMI – LeBron James had 37 points and 12 rebounds and the Miami Heat repeated as champions with a 9588 victory over the San Antonio Spurs in Game 7 of the NBA Finals on Thursday night.

Dwyane Wade added 23 points and 10 rebounds and Shane Battier scored 18 points on 6-for-8 shooting from 3-point range for Miami.

James made 5 of 10 3s, all the while hounding Spurs star Tony Parker on defense to make the Heat the first back-to-back champs since the Lakers in 2009-10.

Tim Duncan had 24 points and 12 rebound for the Spurs, who were trying to become the first road team to win a finals Game 7 since Washington in 1978.

Kawhi Leonard added 19 points and 16 rebounds.

Mario Chalmers scored 14 for Miami.

San Antonio lost for the first time in five finals appearances.

Hampton gets to the media booth early, making sure rosters are readily available and his stat sheet is in place while going over pronunciations of players’ last names one final time.

After 12 years of being a public address announcer, the routine has become familiar and enjoyable for Hampton, but he

SYCAMORE GIRLS VOLLEYBALL

Nore named Sycamore girls volleyball coach

By ROSS JACOBSON rjacobson@shawmedia.com Eric Nore didn’t have to look too far to get feedback on the Sycamore volleyball program and its vacant head coaching position.

Nore coached Ratasha

Garbes, a 2013 Sycamore graduate and the 2012 Daily Chronicle Volleyball Player of the Year, at Sports Performance Volleyball a couple of years earlier.

After applying for the position early in the year, Sycamore announced in a news

release Thursday that Nore was named the new head girls volleyball coach at Sycamore.

He replaces Debbie Klock, who retired after last season.

“To have a high school team with different dynamics than club, I’m looking forward to the challenge,” Nore said. “I

love working with teams and getting them to be more than they thought they could.”

Nore, 44, was an assistant coach at Waubonsie Valley the past two years under head coach Kristen Stuart. At Waubonsie Valley, Nore helped the Warriors to consecutive

regional title appearances in Class 4A. He also has extensive club volleyball coaching experience at Sport Performance. This will be his first head coaching job at the high school varsity level.

8SPORTS SHORTS Gay, Gatlin easily advance in first round of 100 DES MOINES, Iowa – Tyson Gay and Justin Gatlin breezed through the first round of the 100 meters Thursday, turning in rather pedestrian performances at the U.S. track championships.

Fast times were hardly the point on this windy day, only advancing. Gay and Gatlin remain on course for a meeting in today’s final.

His surgically repaired hip fully mended, Gay powered down his lane to win his heat in 10.28 seconds. Later, Gatlin cruised across the line in 10.37, taking second in his heat.

Dentarius Locke had the top time of 10.19, just ahead of Jeff Demps.

The women’s 100 lacked some star power as world champion Carmelita Jeter was out with a sore right quadriceps and Allyson Felix skipped the race to save energy for the 200. Barbara Pierre won in 11.18.

Denver Nuggets introduce Tim Connelly as new GM DENVER – New Denver Nuggets general manager Tim Connelly says re-signing free agent shooting guard Andre Igoudala is his No. 1 priority.

Connelly was formally introduced Thursday by team president Josh Kroenke.

The Nuggets’ top defender, Igoudala recently opted out of the final year of his contract after averaging 13 points a game last season.

His situation is just one of several Connelly will have to deal with as he tries to help the Nuggets become a genuine playoff contender.

Sharks re-sign Raffi Torres to 3-year deal SAN JOSE, Calif. – Raffi Torres showed the San Jose Sharks during his short stint both the attributes that make him a valuable player and the negatives of his suspension-filled history that sidelined him for the final six games of the playoffs.

General manager Doug Wilson decided that the rewards outweighed the risks, signing Torres to a $6 million, three-year deal Thursday that prevents him becoming an unrestricted free agent July 5.

Flyers will buy out Danny Briere’s contract PHILADELPHIA – Danny Briere said goodbye to the Philadelphia Flyers.

The Flyers are buying out the final two years of Briere’s contract, a move that will shave $6.5 million off their salary cap.

Briere will become an unrestricted free agent as part of Philadelphia’s offseason shake-up of its high-priced roster that missed the playoffs last season.

Athletes pursue class action lawsuit against NCAA OAKLAND, Calif. – Former college basketball standout Ed O’Bannon and his lawyers sought Thursday to dramatically expand his lawsuit challenging the NCAA’s ban on compensating athletes in a move that could expose the organization and its member schools to billions of dollars in damages.

O’Bannon and his lawyers asked a federal court judge to turn their antitrust lawsuit into a class action, representing thousands of former and current college athletes. The lawsuit demands that the NCAA find a way to cut players in on the billions of dollars earned by college sports from live broadcasts, memorabilia sales, video games and in other areas.

U.S. District Court Judge Claudia Wilken didn’t rule on either the merits of O’Bannon’s case or his demands to turn the case into a class action. It could take weeks, even months, before Wilken rules.

Seabrook keeps coming up big VIEWS Tom Musick CHICAGO – If one were to rank the Blackhawks’ top skill players, Brent Seabrook probably would fall somewhere between Nos. 10 and 20.

He’s physical and dependable on defense. That’s why he earns millions.

As for offense? Well, let’s just say he’s more equipped for snowshoeing than speed skating.

Yet on a team loaded with scorers, Seabrook is the one who keeps coming up with big goals.

The latest, greatest score by the Blackhawks’ 28-year-old defenseman arrived in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final. After the Hawks twice squandered two-goal leads against the Boston Bruins to prompt overtime, Seabrook raised his stick and ripped a shot past Tuukka Rask.

Game over. Series even. At least two more games to go, maybe three.

All thanks to an eight-year veteran who never has scored double-digit goals in a season.

All thanks to a player who has scored on only 5.5 percent of his career shots – barely more than one-third than that of Jonathan Toews, who has scored on 15.2 percent of his career shots.

Apparently, Seabrook is some kind of pool-hall hustler who lays low until the playoffs.

“I’ve just been shooting the puck, to be completely honest,” Seabrook told reporters Thursday as the Hawks enjoyed a day off from practice. “You get a chance, you get a lane, and you try and put it on net, and

Yes, it’s just a game. But at this time of year, it happens to be a really, really important game.

Teammates have taken notice of Seabrook’s big-play ability.

If not for Seabrook, the Hawks’ season might have ended May 29. That marked Game 7 of the Western Conference semifinals, when Seabrook’s overtime blast pushed the Hawks past the Detroit Red Wings and into the conference finals against the Los Angeles Kings.

Nine games later, Hawks goaltender Corey Crawford marveled at his veteran team-

mate’s timing. Seabrook’s goal saved Crawford, who endured his worst game of the playoffs in Game 4 against the Bruins by allowing five goals on 33 shots.

Crawford had a perfect view as Seabrook’s shot hit the back of the net.

“I was pretty pumped,” Crawford said. “It was a bomb.

He’s done that for us I don’t know how many times. It was a great shot by him.”

In doing so, Seabrook joined a select group of NHL defensemen.

Only four other blue-liners in NHL history had scored two overtime goals in the same postseason. They included Leo Reise Jr. (1950, Red Wings), Chris Chelios (1995, Hawks), Niclas Wallin (2002, Hurri-

canes) and Scott Niedermayer (2007, Ducks).

Reise Jr. and Niedermayer went on to win the Stanley Cup. Chelios and Wallin fell short.

In other words, Seabrook has a 50-50 shot.

Those odds would seem to increase whenever Seabrook and the Hawks go to overtime.

“It’s definitely exciting to score in an overtime game, an overtime goal,” Seabrook said.

“But at the end of the day, it’s just a win. And we still need two more.”

Good point.

Keep shooting.

TWINS 8, WHITE SOX 4

White Sox struggle again in loss to Twins

By MIKE COOK The Associated Press MINNEAPOLIS – Shaky starting pitching, sporadic offense and shoddy defense have dropped the White Sox to a place they haven’t been in more than five years.

John Danks gave up a career-high four home runs and six earned runs in five innings and the Sox were beaten 8-4 by the Minnesota Twins on Thursday.

“You can’t just point out one thing that’s gone wrong at this point,” said Danks (1-4).

He fell to 0-4 with a 7.29 ERA in four road starts this year.

Nine of the 10 home runs he’s allowed have been on the road.

The Sox have lost seven of eight and 17 of 22 to fall 12 games under .500 for the first time since the end of the 2007 season, when they finished 7290.

That was the only year in the history of the AL Central, which was created in 1994, the Sox have finished in fourth place. They’ve never finished last in the Central, but they’re well on their way this summer, with starting pitching joining this week the list of problems topped by fielding and scoring.

“I didn’t do us any favors today,” Danks said. “We’re just going to have to play bet-

White Sox starter John Danks pitches against the Minnesota Twins during the first inning Thursday in Minneapolis. The Sox lost, 8-4. ter as a whole. We’re not saying anything we don’t already know or talked about. Guys are working hard trying to make it happen. It just hasn’t gone our way to this point.”

Besides Danks, starters Dylan Axelrod and Chris Sale had a rough series. Axelrod gave up 10 hits and four earned runs in six innings Tuesday; Sale allowed four earned runs on eight hits in five innings Wednesday.

The signs of struggle were not just limited to the mound.

Gordon Beckham flew out with the bases loaded to end the fourth inning. Alejandro De Aza’s drag bunt attempt in the fifth inning sailed about 20 feet in the air all the way to Brian Dozier for an easy catch

at second base. Then in the sixth, shortstop Alexei Ramirez let a soft two-out grounder get through his legs for an error.

Two batters later, Justin Morneau’s two-run single with the bases loaded stretched the lead to 8-4. The Sox entered the game 14th in AL with a .981 fielding percentage.

“Anytime you’re giving them opportunities where they can score two by giving them extra outs you just can’t do it. That’s the one thing we were really good at that we’re failing to do this year,” said manager Robin Ventura.

Paul Konerko and Adam Dunn hit consecutive home runs against Scott Diamond (56) in the sixth inning, but that wasn’t nearly enough as the

Sox were swept for the first time in Minnesota since Sept.

23-25, 2008. Diamond won for only the second time in his last eight starts.

The Sox entered the game third to last in the American League in batting (.241), last in hits (561) and last in runs (250).

Through five innings, the Sox had as many hits as the Twins did home runs. The Sox sent no more than four men to the plate in six of nine innings.

Yet, like Wednesday, when it trailed 7-1 before scoring three runs in the seventh and eight innings to make it close, the Sox would not go away.

With the bases loaded in the ninth inning, Alex Rios flew out to the warning track in left field.

CARDINALS 6, CUBS 1

Lynn ties NL lead with 10th win as Cards top Cubs

By R.B. FALLSTROM The Associated Press ST. LOUIS – Lance Lynn earned his 10th victory to tie for the NL lead, Matt Holliday homered and drove in two runs, and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Cubs 6-1 on Thursday night.

Lynn (10-1) allowed a run on three hits in six innings with six strikeouts and has reached double digits in wins before the AllStar break both of his years in the rotation, going 11-4 last year and making the All-Star team. He joined teammate Adam Wainwright and Washington’s Jordan Zimmermann for the league lead.

Wellington Castillo homered leading off the third for the Cubs.

Castillo’s second homer of the season and first since April 8 briefly tied it at 1 after David Freese’s run-scoring groundout off Scott Feldman (6-6) had given the Cardinals the lead.

The Cubs’ Welington Castillo celebrates with third base coach David Bell after hitting a solo home run in the third inning against the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday in St. Louis.

WOMENS TENNIS

PGA TOUR: TRAVELERS CHAMPIONSHIP

Hoffman off and running First-round 61 earns lead

The ASSOCIATED PRESS Serena Williams has reached out to the family of the victim in the Steubenville, Ohio, rape case after the tennis star was quoted in a Rolling Stone article saying “she shouldn’t have put herself in that position.”

The tennis star, in England preparing for Wimbledon, spoke to the victim, her mother and a family lawyer for about 30 minutes Wednesday, the lawyer said.

“Serena was very nice, very Serena s i n c e r e a n d Williams it was a very well-received conversation among two women and a young lady,” attorney Bob Fitzsimmons said Thursday.

Williams apologized in a statement released through her agent Wednesday.

“I am currently reaching out to the girl’s family to let her know that I am deeply sorry for what was written in the Rolling Stone article,” the statement said. “What was written – what I supposedly said – is insensitive and hurtful, and I by no means would say or insinuate that she was at all to blame.”

The comment was made in one paragraph of a long story posted online Tuesday about Williams. The 16-time Grand Slam tournament winner is coming off a French Open title and is ranked No. 1 entering Wimbledon, which starts next week.

The victim’s family welcomed Williams’ apology in its own statement Wednesday, saying it was “proud of her” for the updated remarks.

By PAT EATON–ROBB The Associated Press CROMWELL, Conn. – Charley Hoffman couldn’t help but think about last year as he stood on the 17th tee Thursday at the Travelers Championship.

A year ago, Hoffman hit a similar tee shot right and into the water, staring at a double-bogey, bogey slide on the final two holes of the tournament in which he lost a two-stroke lead and eventually the title.

This time, his drive stayed on the fairway. He finished the first round with a par and then a birdie to complete a 9-under-par 61, one shot off the course record.

“Believe it or not, I was thinking about it going down 16, 17, 18,” he said.

“If I could have just gotten those balls in play, I would have been defending champion here. But this year, I got off to a good start and, obviously, a little more focused on those last two holes.

Hopefully I’m there again this year.”

His 28 on the back nine was the lowest nine holes on the PGA Tour this year, and puts him one shot up on Hunter Mahan, who posted an early 62.

Bubba Watson was two strokes back.

Hoffman said he thought he might have a chance to go even lower, and was flirting with 59 after making eagle on 10 and 12, and going to 8-under-par with a birdie on 16.

“I knew I had some chances coming in,” he said. “But when it’s said and done, as I displayed last year, 16, 17 and 18 aren’t an easy test. So I was just trying to make some pars coming in.”

Hoffman, Mahan and Watson all have interesting histories in Connecticut.

Mahan is the 2007 champion and has two second-place finishes in his 11 previous starts at the TPC River Highlands.

“I think this is the most comfortable course on Tour for me,” he said.

He is also coming off a fourth-place finish after being in the final pair at the U.S. Open, something he said has him playing with confidence. He opened the day by making the first of eight birdies during a bogey-free round. He was also at 8-under with three holes to play before shooting par on the final three holes.

“This is a golf course where you can be aggressive off the tee if you want to be, but you can also play it safe,” he said. “I choose to be mostly aggressive, and it gives me some short irons. I’m happy to take on pins with my short irons. So it’s a combo of things, but all I know is when I step on that tee, I feel like I can hit any shot out here.”

Charley Hoffman waves to the crowd after a birdie on the 18th hole gave him a 9-under-par 61 and the lead after the first round of the Travelers Championship in Cromwell, Conn.

Hoffman as the runner-up a year ago.

He said there is a reason so many familiar names are at the top of the leaderboard.

“These are guys that love this course, that love this tournament, they love Travelers and how they’ve treated us here,” he said. “And so, you’re

always going to see pretty much some of the same guys up there because they enjoy this area and this golf course.”

Six golfers were four strokes back.

The biggest ovation of the day came when Justin Rose was introduced on the first tee as the U.S. Open champion. Rose went on to shoot a 67, leaving

him in good shape heading into Friday.

“Obviously, I’m playing well,” he said. “I just knew I had to get through today without too much damage. If you manage to keep it in the mid-60s for most of the week, you should do pretty well.”

NIU WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

NIU women’s basketball signs Dumoulin

By JEFF ARNOLD jarnold@shawmedia.com When Alex Dumoulin told the Northern Illinois women’s basketball coaching staff that she wasn’t interested in continuing her playing career with the Huskies, she expected that to be the end of it.

The former Hampshire standout was prepared to leave the game after spending the past two seasons piling up points at Elgin Community College, where she became only the second player in program history to score more than 1,000 career

Serena apologizes after rape comments

points.

But when NIU persisted, traveling in March to see Dumoulin play in the National Junior College Athletic Association national championships, everything suddenly changed. The Huskies persistence and interest in the 5-foot-10 forward was enough to cause Dumoulin to reconsider her competitive future.

Dumoulin, a former Northwest Herald All-Area honorable mention selection, signed with NIU on Thursday, giving the Huskies a bona fide scoring threat after averaging 18.9 points and

11.4 rebounds a game for ECC last season. Her 642 points ranked second among NJCAA Division II players. She finished her 66-game career with 1,148 points.

“For the most part, all of the pieces of the puzzle just fell into place with Northern,” Dumoulin said Thursday night.

Dumoulin’s decision comes six months after she turned down an offer to play at NIU because the school doesn’t offer a civil engineering program. But when NIU coach Kathi Bennett made another run at Dumoulin

two months later, the NJCAA first-team All-American who led ECC to its first national tournament appearance, couldn’t resist.

In a statement issued by NIU, Bennett said she expects Dumoulin to make a “powerful impact” on the Huskies’ program.

“She fills a need for us inside with her ability to run the floor and her relentless work ethic and energy,” Bennett said.

The change of mind made Dumoulin’s recruiting progress “definitely different”, she said. But she is looking

forward to finishing her competitive career in DeKalb.

Dumoulin is coming off a season when she was named the Illinois Skyway Collegiate Conference’s Player of the Year. Dumoulin, a co-captain, helped lead the Spartans to a 26-8 record and 13-1 league mark.

“I didn’t think [NIU] was going to come back to me because I told them ‘No’ right off the bat,” Dumoulin said.

“But I think God had a plan and He worked through them and it just worked out the way it did. I’m really happy with the decision.”

Nore sets summer camps for next month • NORE Continued from page B1 “There were some opportunities to potentially work in the district in a couple different capacities,” Nore said.

“I’m just trying to put my foot in the educational door. That’s what I’m looking to do.”

Sycamore earned a share of the Northern Illinois Big 12 East title last year and lost to Kaneland in the regional final.

Klock retired as the winningest coach in Sycamore history and helped the Spartans advance to the state tournament in 2007.

Nore said he hasn’t met with the team yet, but rescheduled its summer camps for July.

“We are extremely pleased to add Eric Nore to our coaching staff,” Sycamore athletic director Chauncey Carrick said in a news release. “His philosophy and experience is exactly what we need to continue our rich volleyball tradition.”

Success of Sycamore football one of the reasons Hampton continues announcing • ANNOUNCER Continued from page B1 Hampton has become the unofficial sports announcer of DeKalb County, recognizable by his voice and catch phrases at Sycamore football and basketball home games during the school year while also announcing NIU baseball and softball. Hampton also was the P.A. announcer for the DeKalb County Liners before the baseball team folded this winter.

He grew up just outside of

Louisville, Ky. before his dad moved the family to Lombard when he was 11 years old.

After graduating high from school – his freshman and sophomore years were done at Montini, a Sycamore football rival – Hampton made his way to Batavia before he and his wife bought a house in DeKalb 15 years ago.

While bartending at P.J.’s Courthouse Tavern in Sycamore, Hampton got to know Chauncey Carrick, Sycamore’s current athletic director and then the head wrestling coach and assistant

football coach, who frequented the restaurant often. When an opening for the football public address announcer came up, Carrick thought of Hampton and asked him on a whim.

“Honestly, I just had a feling about it I guess,” Carrick said. “He had a big passion for athletics, especially football. I figured he’d be able to add a little flair to it, which obviously has proven to be good.”

Hampton said he had no experience with sports announcing when Carrick

asked him. He had played football when he was younger and is a self-proclaimed fantasy football junkie, but Hampton leaned on his experience performing theater gigs after college and convinced his good friend Mike Mendel to be his spotter.

“I had to learn everything in regards to what actually goes on in the booth,” Hampton said. “[Mendel] and I started the very first day. He has probably missed maybe two [games].”

Hampton did exclusively Sycamore football until

adding basketball duties over the past six seasons and NIU baseball home games four years ago. Hampton now does NIU softball even though, admittedly, he still stumbles over the rules and procedures of courtesy runners.

“In softball I just have no clue,” Hampton said. “I just try to wing it during softball.”

Hampton said he considered giving up his P.A. gig a couple years ago, but found a rekindled love for it over the past two seasons. He noted the success of Sycamore football as one of the reasons

for his second wind and even attended the Spartans’ playoff game at Montini last fall.

Does Hampton ever miss bartending? Not one bit, he says.

“We really enjoy having him. It’s interesting that he kind of started on a whim or a guess,” Carrick said. “Obviously there are other people in town that think he does a pretty good job. Someone that started just helping Sycamore High School out has kind of evolved into something that has given him some notoriety.”

The Rev. Martha Brunell became Mayfield Congregational Church’s new pastor on May 1. Brunell has spent 35 years in her career in various congregations around the East Coast and the Midwest before coming to lead the congregation in rural Sycamore.

‘Already one of us’ New Mayfield Congregational pastor a playful preacher

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – The Rev. Martha Brunell dumped everything out of her purse for one of the first sermons she gave at the Mayfield Congregational Church.

Brunell was recently chosen to be the new pastor and she is known for using her own experiences to make scripture lessons from the Bible relevant. In this scripture lesson, she was showing with her empty purse how people should find what they need in life so God could supply it.

“She’s not highly formal,” said Carolyn Law, Mayfield Congregational Church moderator. “She’s engaging, she’s surprising, she’s an excellent teacher.”

Those and other qualities are what netted Brunell the lead position last month for one of the most progressive churches in Sycamore.

The Mayfield Congregational Church, located northwest of Sycamore at the intersection of Church and Aldrich roads, is part of the United Church of Christ denomination.

The church is known for talking about social issues such as the abolition of slavery, women’s rights and gay rights. The church is also is one of the few that ordained women and also welcomes gay members to their congregation.

For 35 years, Brunell has held ministry positions in churches across the nation. She is a New York native, but was enraptured enough by the open lands and skies of the Midwest to choose to live here instead.

Monica Maschak - mmaschak@shawmedia.com

The Rev. Martha Brunell is seen in front of the Mayfield Congregational Church building in rural Sycamore.

The church is known for addressing social issues and welcoming members of the gay community to its congregation. “I imagine there can be a lot of spiritual conversations and explorations here,” Brunell said.

She first came to the Illinois River valley area to do interim work for a church in 2008, then moved on and lived in Michigan for four years.

She previously served at Friedens United

Church of Christ in St. Louis, Mo., which was located in one of the poorest areas of the city, she said.

The church ran a number of after-school programs and she was committed to literacy

issues in the community. Later, she co-founded a domestic violence agency called Lydia’s House in St. Louis to provide educational resources, counseling and job training for abused women and children.

She applied to become the new pastor for the Mayfield Congregational Church because it was small and diverse congregation with a strong history of being engaged in issues of the world.

She also finds the church to have a playful side to it, something she finds to be as important as prayer.

“This is a beautiful and peaceful and provoking location,” Brunell said. “I imagine there can be a lot of spiritual conversations and explorations here.”

Brunell said her first priority as pastor is to listen to members of the church. She wants to know their history and what empowers them because they look to their church as a place where they find empowerment.

She’s interested in knowing what they think it means to be a spiritual person in the 21st century.

“The faith community is hopefully a place where what you care about is something that is heard and strengthened,” Brunell said.

Church member Ann Werhane was on the search committee for the new pastor. She said when she met Brunell she thought she was wonderful.

Brunell has only just started but already she fits in with the church.

“We already feel she is one of us,” Werhane said.

JERUSALEM (AP) – Entertainer Barbra Streisand waded into one of Israel’s touchiest issues Monday on the first major stop of her tour of the country – Jewish religious practices that separate men and women.

Speaking at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where she received an honorary doctorate, she took aim at cases of ultra-Orthodox Jews targeting women, even as she warmly praised the country.

“I realize it’s not easy to fully grasp the dynamics of what happens in a foreign land,” she said. “But it’s distressing to read about women in Israel being forced to sit in

the back of the bus or when we hear about ‘Women of the Wall’ having metal chairs thrown at them when they attempt to peacefully and legally pray.”

She was referring to isolated incidents in which ultra-Orthodox men tried to force women to sit separately at the rear of buses that go through their neighborhoods, as well as more serious clashes in which ultra-Orthodox Jews tried to prevent women donning prayer shawls and carrying Torah scrolls from praying at the Western Wall in Jerusalem, the holiest site where Jews can worship.

Federated Church Kids Club to hold car wash The Kids Club at Federated Church in Sycamore will hold a car wash from 10 a.m. to noon June 30, at the church to raise money for summer camp. The public is invited; the cost is $5.

Come get your car spruced up for the summer.

Kids will attend either a short or long camp session (depending on age) at Pilgrim Park Church Camp near Princeton. They will have opportunities to go swimming and hiking, participate in a variety of indoor and outdoor activities, and grow their faith with other kids from Northern Illinois.

For some, this will be their first camp experience. Others are looking forward to a return visit.

The church is located at 612 W. State St., just east of Center Cross Street.

The car wash will be held in the parking lot behind the church, accessible from Greeley Street.

Bishop to ordain two new priests Bishop David J. Malloy will ordain two men to the priesthood for the 11-county Diocese of Rockford at 11 a.m. Saturday.

The Sacred Rite of Ordination will take place in the Cathedral of St. Peter, 1243 N. Church St., Rockford.

The men to be ordained to the sacred priesthood are: •The Rev. Mr. Manuel Gerardo Gomez-Reza, 29, a native of Durango, Mexico • The Rev. Mr. Ryan Brent Browning, 36, a native of Batavia.

Their personal vocation stories can be viewed at www. rockforddiocese.org/vocations/ourseminarians.php The ordination ceremony will be open to the public.

Live coverage of the event will be available via live stream video on the Diocese of Rockford website at www. rockforddiocese.org.

It will also be on social media Facebook and Twitter.

Daily Chronicle / Daily-Chronicle.com

Abandoned daughter now being stalked Dear Abby: I was taken away from my parents at 13 and placed into foster care, where I stayed until I aged out at 21. My biological mother is a drug addict who abandoned me to my father when I was 11. She never tried to contact me while I was in care.

I am now 24 and she won’t leave me alone. She sends Facebook messages that alternate between begging me to let her get to know me, and condemning me for being vindictive and not having forgiveness in my heart. Abby, this woman exposed me to drugs and all manner of seedy people and situations. I was molested and beaten by some of the men she picked up to pay the bills.

Am I a horrible person for ignoring her? I’m close to losing my temper and letting

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips her know exactly how angry I am, but I know it would do no good. I just want to move on with my life and advance in my profession without having to worry about this. What do you think? – Stalked in New York Dear Stalked: Silence sends a strong message. I think that when the harassment started, you should have immediately blocked this woman on Facebook. It’s not too late to do that now. If she continues to annoy you, consider getting a restraining order.

Because you are on a path to success, allow NOTHING to divert you.

Dear Abby: On March 14 you printed a question from “Jim in New Jersey” who asked if brand-new clothing should be washed before wearing. Having worked in a shirt factory for years, let me tell you how many hands handle the shirt before it goes into that neat little bag.

1. Someone spreads the fabric and lays the pattern.

2. The cutter cuts it.

3. Someone else ties the different parts together.

4. Another person takes the parts to the sewing people.

5. One sewer attaches the pocket to the front.

6. Another sews the yoke to the back.

7. Another sews that back to the front.

8. Another sews in the sleeves.

9. Another sews the side seams.

10. Still another hems the bottom.

11. Another adds the collar.

12. Another sews on the cuffs (if long-sleeved).

13. Someone else sews on the buttons.

14. Another reinforces the buttonholes.

15. An inspector examines the garment for loose threads.

16. An auditor gives it a final check.

17. And finally, someone folds the shirt and puts it into that nice, clean-looking bag.

Don’t even ask how many times it may have fallen on the floor – or if we washed our hands. Abby, I NEVER wear anything until I wash it!

– Joann in Mississippi Dear Joann: And neither will

I. Thank you!

Dear Abby: I’m 59 years old and still take my baseball mitt with me when I go to games in hopes of catching a ball. At what age should a guy stop doing it? (We usually sit in the lower level near the front.) – Minnesota Twins Fan Dear Twins Fan: Stop taking it when you have grown so aged and feeble that when the ball comes your way, you can no longer fend off the younger fans who are also diving for it. And not one moment sooner.

Self-tanning products safe in the short-term Dear Dr. K: I like to look tanned, but I’m fair-skinned and can’t spend too much time in the sun. Are sunless tanning lotions and sprays safe?

Dear Reader: Looking tanned is attractive, probably because it is equated with health. If you’re tanned, you’re the “picture of health.”

There are basically just three ways your skin can be tanned: (1) exposure to sunlight, (2) exposure to artificial tanning lamps, and (3) staining your skin with a sunless tanning lotion.

But no one should spend too much time soaking up the sun’s rays. Exposing your skin to the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) light increases

ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff your risk for skin cancer and accelerates skin aging.

Sunless tanning sprays and lotions can make your skin look tanned without exposing it to harmful UV rays.

For short-term use at least, sunless tanning products are a good alternative to tanning outdoors or using an indoor tanning bed.

You can buy self-tanning products over the counter and apply them yourself, or you can go to a salon that offers spray-on or airbrush tans. The active ingredient

in all of these products is dihydroxyacetone (DHA), a color additive often derived from plant sources. It’s FDA-approved for tanning purposes.

The coloring process affects only the surface layers of your skin. So your “tan” lasts only as long as those layers stay on your body – five to seven days.

After they slough off, you’ll need a reapplication.

Self-tanning is generally considered safe, although there have been few safety studies. Allergic reactions are rare, but the long-term effects remain largely unknown. I would say that more research is needed before DHA can be declared safe for long-term use.

Even if you’re sporting a faux glow, it’s important to practice proper sun protection. You still need to use plenty of sunscreen or sunblock when you’re out in the sun. Choose sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15.

I advise against using tanning beds at a salon, spa or gym. These tanners emit the same ultraviolet waves as the sun, the waves that cause skin cancers and skin aging. Worse, the self-tanning industry is largely unregulated. No one has measured and reported the amount of ultraviolet radiation generated by the machines – and no one will close down the machine if it is generating excessive

amounts of radiation.

During a spray-on tanning session, make sure your eyes, lips, ears, nose and mucous membranes are covered. Hold your breath to avoid inhaling the product while it’s being applied.

Some self-tanning products are sold as pills containing a color additive. These pills are not safe when taken in the amount recommended for tanning. Stick with the stuff you spray or rub onto your skin.

I don’t own sweaters and won’t wear this one Dr. Wallace: My grandparents bought me a beautiful and expensive cashmere sweater for my 17th birthday.

I don’t own any sweaters, and I won’t wear this one.

Instead of sweaters, I wear sweatshirts when the weather dictates.

I’d like to return it and get the cash so I can buy other things I like from different stores. My mom says it would be improper to return the sweater because it was charged on a credit card, and Grandma would have to be there for the refund. What should I do? I need clothes that I like! – Tracy, St. Louis,

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace Mo.

Tracy: Most stores will refund unwanted merchandise given as gifts, no questions asked. If they won’t refund the cost, they will allow exchanges. A gift is to make someone special happy.

Return the sweater and enjoy happiness.

Dr. Wallace: I am 14, and I have my first babysitting job in two weeks. I love children, and I would appreciate it

By BERNICE BEDE OSOL Newspaper Enterprise Association

TODAY – Both tangible and intangible benefits can be gained in the year ahead by taking your ideas to the marketplace.

However, you must have total confidence in your plan.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Before assuming someone else’s responsibilities, make sure your own house is in order. Chances are, you won’t be able to meet the demands of both situations.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – In hopes of making a good deal even better, you might do something that dilutes your position instead of strengthening it. It’s imperative that you know when to stop.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Do your part to keep outsiders out of confidential family matters. Anyone who does not share your roof should not be permitted to share the household’s secrets.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Just because someone isn’t in complete accord with your opinions doesn’t mean that he or she should be considered to be an adversary. Try to learn from the dispute.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Be careful in situations where you feel unduly pressured to reveal something or make a concession. If you’re foolishly open with the wrong person, you could feel like a patsy.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Partial success is likely to be the best you can hope for if you attempt to do too many things. Do what you can to reduce your workload so that you can be more effective.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Guard against inclinations to make unreasonable demands on your loved ones. If they’re unable to comply with your expectations, it’ll be your fault if feelings are hurt.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Playing favorites with your friends is likely to create all kinds of complications. It could even jeopardize an important relationship if you’re not careful.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – If you feel you have to protect your interests at the expense of another, you’re barking up the wrong tree. Don’t be afraid to change course.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Be careful in whom you place your trust. Face-to-face, associates might appear to agree with your ideas. But they could express an adverse opinion behind your back.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Commercial conditions are a bit unsettled, so be careful when conducting business. If you make a wrong move, it might go unnoticed until it’s too late to fix things.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – The only way you’re going to settle an important situation is through a compromise. Be open-minded, because the advantage you thought you had is a will-o’-the-wisp.

if you could give me a few pointers for babysitting. I’m going to share them with my friends, so thanks for helping all of us out! – Ashley, Vancouver, Wash.

Ashley: Congratulations on your very first job! Here are a few suggestions that I feel are of utmost importance: 1. Visit your local Red Cross and complete the course on CPR. 2. Ask the parents to provide you with a telephone number where they can be reached, as well as one other relative or neighbor in case of an emergency.

3. Do not open the door

8SUDOKU

to anyone unless the parents have left their specific approval.

4. Have a few ideas in mind to help entertain the children. You might play games, sing songs or read stories. It’s fun to read a favorite story and then help the children act it out in their own words. (The Three Little Pigs story is great.)

5. Do not take undue advantage of your employer such as making too much noise, eating too much or cluttering up the house. Do not have friends over or spend time talking on the

BRIDGE Phillip Alder

phone.

6. When children are napping or in bed for the night, check often to see that the children are safe and comfortable.

7. Study only after the children are safely tucked in bed.

8. Never leave the house until properly relieved by the child’s parent.

8CROSSWORD

It is time to enter with your trumps Taylor Swift said, “I write songs that are like diary entries. I have to do it in order to feel sane.”

If success is proportional to sanity, Swift must be the most grounded person on the planet.

A bridge expert often has a careful order in which he must play the tricks to enter a plus score onto his card. In this deal, for example, how must South play in four spades after West leads the club king?

South’s three-spade rebid invited game while promising at least a six-card suit. (With only five, he would have rebid two no-trump or made a helpsuit game-try.) North, with a potential source of tricks in his heart suit, raised to game.

South first counts his losers by looking at his hand and taking dummy’s high cards into account. Here, he should see four: two diamonds and two clubs. Then he counts winners, finding only nine: six spades, two hearts and one club.

Since the loser count is too high and the winner count too low, declarer should realize that he must establish dummy’s heart suit.

This is the safest line: Win the first trick with the club ace, cash the spade ace, take dummy’s top hearts, and ruff a heart high in hand. (South ruffs high for two reasons: He doesn’t want to risk an overruff by West and he needs the two low spades to lead to dummy’s nine and 10 for entries.)

Now declarer plays the spade three to dummy’s nine and ruffs another heart high. Back to dummy with a trump to the 10, South cashes the heart eight, giving him six spades, three hearts and one club.
