Steakhouse coming to Sycamore Texas Roadhouse to set up shop by spring at site of former Johnny’s Charhouse

By JILLIAN DUCHNOWSKI jduchnowski@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – Texas Roadhouse plans to open a restaurant by spring in the former Johnny’s Charhouse location at 1950 DeKalb Ave. in Sycamore, officials said Monday.

The Louisville, Ky.-based steakhouse chain has more than 400 locations in 48 states, with 12 Illinois locations, in-

cluding Rockford, Naperville and Joliet.

The restaurant chain specializes in steaks, ribs, side dishes and fresh-baked bread.

“We are excited to bring our hand-cut steaks and legendary fall-off-the bone ribs to Sycamore,” Texas Roadhouse spokesman Travis Doster said in a news release. “We think the city is a great fit for Texas Roadhouse, and we look for-

ward to serving the community.”

The property owner, John Pappas, said restaurant plans

include gutting the building’s interior and employing 150 people, half of them full-time.

The building’s design, which makes it easy to convert, plus its 160-space parking lot and location attracted Texas Roadhouse officials, Pappas said.

“Within six or seven miles, they have the whole entire county,” Pappas said of the building’s central location.

The former tenant was also

a steakhouse. Johnny’s Charhouse closed in mid-May, but city officials maintained it would not be long until another tenant was found.

“We were disappointed when the space was recently vacated, but are even more excited with [Monday’s] announcement,” Sycamore City Manager Brian Gregory said.

The location is in the heart of the commercial corridor be-

tween Sycamore and DeKalb, and Gregory expects it will fill the same niche Johnny’s Charhouse served.

Ill. lawmakers continue hunt for pension crisis solution

By DAVID THOMAS dthomas@shawmedia.com DeKALB – It will have to make sense – and save money – for the DeKalb and Sycamore park districts to work together.

That is the consensus of park board members from both districts as they plan for the future. For instance, the idea of operating a joint pool with Sycamore has been voiced by some DeKalb park commissioners.

“I think the DeKalb park board is being open-minded about it, and they’re interested in exploring it,” said Lisa Small, DeKalb Park District’s assistant director of finance and administration.

Speaking for himself, Ted Strack, the president of Sycamore’s park board, said he is also interested in exploring more partnerships with DeKalb.

“I think it makes all the sense in the world to collaborate with other organizations – not duplicate services, facilities – to give the public a max-

imum return on their money,” Strack said.

But both the DeKalb and Sycamore park districts are at different points in terms of planning for the future.

In DeKalb, board members are concerned with hiring a new executive director and replacing 39-year-old Hopkins Pool. Former director Cindy Capek resigned May 24 after three new park board commissioners were seated and the group decided to go in a different direction.

As for the pool, the new DeKalb commissioners – Per Faivre, Don Irving and Keith Nyquist – campaigned on slowing down the process for replacing Hopkins Pool. In particular, Faivre pushed the idea of working with Sycamore on a joint pool.

Sycamore officials have also recognized the need for a new pool, but that’s as far as they’ve gotten. For the past few months, a group of residents,

SPRINGFIELD – A bipartisan panel of Illinois lawmakers reported minor progress Monday in negotiations over the state’s nearly $100 billion pension crisis, even as another deadline set by Gov. Pat Quinn was set to lapse without a solution.

In a small step forward, the 10-member group prepared to seek a more comprehensive analysis of a university-backed retirement funding proposal after meeting Monday. Quinn gave the committee a deadline today, but lawmakers repeatedly said they wouldn’t meet it.

“We’re just brainstorming now,” said state Rep. Darlene Senger, a Naperville Republican. “It’s really all about the numbers at this point.”

Lawmakers moved to form the committee – with members appointed by legislative leaders in each chamber – after a compromise couldn’t be reached last month. The panel had invited Quinn to speak at Monday’s hearing, its third overall and the first in Springfield. But Quinn declined, saying committee members know where he stands and that his budget office will speak on his behalf.

Presenting were representatives from three of the state’s retirement systems and the governor’s budget director, Jerry Stermer, who was roundly criticized by committee members for pushing what they considered to be an unreasonable deadline.

Committee Chairman Kwame Raoul reminded Stermer it takes time to craft legislation and called for the governor to “cast politics aside and allow the conference committee to do the work.”

“I share the sense of urgency, but I appreciate the conversations the committee has had under challenging circumstances,” Raoul, a Chicago Democrat, said. “We’ve worked well together in a bipartisan, bicameral manner. I want to make clear, I’m

High, low points in my golden years It isn’t often that a person experiences the lowest, then highest point in their life in the span of only 15 months.

I’m not talking about career success, financial gain or fame, just plain old psychological ups and downs.

This saga began in January 2012 when I got the bright idea that DeKalb County children needed a history lesson since they weren’t getting taught much, if anything, about their local heritage in school. Riding high on the memory of a successful “museum on wheels” project I helped initiate 25 years ago in far-off Livermore, Calif., I tried to sell the idea to local clubs, nonprofits and school districts (including Kish College trustees) that what this county needed was a “Historymobile” to share our local heritage with every elementary school in the county.

It took me five disheartening months of seeking financing ($20,000) and sponsorship (buying a vehicle) to find out the hard way no one wanted to be a part of this overly ambitious project.

But I must interject the names of at least seven people who did believe and signed on to support it – the late Al Golden, Ging Smith, Tom Weber, Averil Schreiber, Bill Braksick, Jim Gerlick and even DeKalb School District 428 Superintendent Jim Briscoe.

DeKALB COUNTY LIFE Barry Schrader Others weren’t as enthusiastic.

Even the DeKalb County Historical-Genealogical Society board members issued a “vote of no confidence” to my idea.

So I went down in ignominious defeat and wallowed in despair for a while, but somehow found new energy to help revive a troubled Ney Grange chapter in the north county, join with 12 other authors to finish the new county history book, and take part in a pioneer log cabin project.

Fast forward to May: I got a phone call from Livermore inviting me to the dedication of a second generation Historymobile, which had been acquired and redesigned into another museum on wheels like the project I had initiated once before, the first generation RVbus finally conking out after 15 years of traveling among schools out there.

They sent me photos of their newand-improved 37-foot RV-turned-museum. And they told me my co-founder and I would be immortalized inside with photos and a plaque telling all the

kids visiting this rolling history center about its founders.

So I took a redeye flight out there on Memorial Day weekend to bask in the glory of the occasion and recharge my batteries. It was a glorious reunion and a new “high” for an old activist who doesn’t relish retiring in defeat.

Flying back to Illinois, I toyed with the idea that there might just be a spark of interest I could rekindle to pursue this “pipe dream,” as one detractor called it, one more time. So I met with NIU transportation department head Bill Finucane to see if they could spare an old Huskies bus to convert into a mobile history lesson. He did express interest, but then retired at the end of June. So much for that angle.

So I went back to helping with the 1835 Miller-Ellwood log cabin and pioneer garden along with several other history buffs and gardening enthusiasts. Once you see that restored log cabin standing out there in the wilds near the Russell Woods Forest Preserve, it will take you back to “Little House on the Prairie,” and who can resist helping that become a reality.

Dozens killed in Egyptian confrontations The ASSOCIATED PRESS CAIRO – Egypt was rocked Monday by the deadliest day since its Islamist president was toppled by the military, with more than 50 of his supporters killed by security forces as the country’s top Muslim cleric raised the specter of civil war.

The military found itself on the defensive after the bloodshed, but the interim president drove ahead with the army’s political plan. He issued a swift timetable for the process of amending the Islamist-backed constitution and set parliamentary and presidential elections for early 2014.

The killings further entrenched the battle lines between supporters and opponents of ousted President Mohammed Morsi, who was removed by the military Wednesday after a year in office after mass demonstrations by millions of Egyptians.

Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood called for an uprising, accusing troops of gunning down protesters, while the military blamed armed Islamists for provoking its forces.

The shootings began during a protest by about 1,000 Islamists outside the Republican Guard headquarters where Morsi, Egypt’s first freely elected leader, was detained last week.

Demonstrators and members of Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood said troops descended on them and opened fire unprovoked as they finished dawn prayers.

“I was in the last row praying. They were firing from the left and right,” said Nashat Mohammed, who had come from southern Egypt to join the sit-in and was wounded in the knee. “We said, ‘Stop, we’re your brothers.’ They shot at us from every direction.”

After a battle lasting about three hours, at least 51 protesters were killed and 435 wounded, most from live ammunition and birdshot, emergency services chief Mohammed Sultan told to the state news agency.

At a nationally televised news conference, army Col. Ahmed Mohammed Ali said police and troops came under “heavy gunfire” at around 4 a.m. and attackers on rooftops opened fire with guns and Molotov cocktails. A soldier and two policemen were killed, and 42 in the security forces were wounded, eight critically, he said.

While he said troops had a right to defend the facility, Ali did not directly explain how the protester deaths occurred.

He expressed condolences but offered no apologies for the deaths.

A collection of video of the clashes provided by the military to Egyptian TV showed protesters on rooftops lobbing

projectiles at troops below, including firebombs and toilet seats. It also showed some armed protesters firing at close range at the troops, but it did not show what the military did. It was also not clear at what time in the fighting the videos were shot. It included aerial views of the clashes.

Several witnesses from outside the protest said the gunfire started when troops appeared to move on the camp.

University student Mirna el-Helbawi told The Associated Press that she watched from her 14th floor apartment overlooking the scene, after she heard protesters banging on metal barricades, a common battle cry. El-Helbawi, 21, said she saw troops and police approaching the protesters, who were lined up on the street behind a make-shift wall. The troops fired tear gas, the protesters responded with rocks, she said.

Soon after, she heard the first gunshots and saw the troops initially retreat backward – which she said led her to believe the shots came from the protester side. She saw Morsi supporters firing from rooftops, while the troops were also shooting.

The Freedom and Justice party, the Muslim Brotherhood’s political arm, called on Egyptians to rise up against the army, which it accused of turning Egypt into “a new Syria.”

DeKalb council OKs 2 percent pay raises for employees

By DAVID THOMAS dthomas@shawmedia.com DeKALB – DeKalb aldermen signed off on a 2 percent cost-of-living adjustment for city employees at their Monday night meeting, but some of those employees might see a higher increase for this year.

In addition to a cost-of-living adjustment, certain management staff also could be getting another pay raise based on merit. Interim City Manager Rudy Espiritu said this stepraise program is separate from the COLAs the aldermen voted on.

Every nonunion city employee is a part of a multitiered program that sees them getting a pay raise if they have met their goals as determined by their supervisor. In the first year, they see a 16 percent pay increase; after that, it’s a 2 percent increase up to their 12th year. After that, the only raise city employees see is through COLA.

City finances in fiscal 2014 n How much more the city will spend on COLA: $60,818 n How much more the city will spend on merit-based pay increases: $61,851 n How much more the city will spend on pay increases, health insurance, insurance contributions, workman’s comp and pensions: $139,039 n How much the city will spend in all of its funds: $77.4 million n How much the city will spend of its general fund: $30 million n How much the city has left in its general fund reserves: $5.6 million The merit-based pay plan has been in place since 2004, but Monday was the first time it factored into the arguments of the aldermen over the financial health of the city.

First Ward Alderman David Jacobson was the lone dissenter in the

6-1 vote on the 2 percent cost of living adjustment. He felt the city was not out of financial danger.

“We’re outpacing our revenues continually,” Jacobson said. “We keep doing it. ... If we’re going to say public safety is our priority, to continue to give raises elsewhere will prevent you from doing that.”

Fifth Ward Alderman Ronald Naylor supported the increase. To him, budgeting for increases and then walking back on them was not the way to treat employees.

“Employees have served here under this program since it’s been adopted. They’ve been expecting it, anticipating it, budgeted for it,” Naylor said, noting that these discussions came up after the budget was passed.

“I don’t think that’s a good way to treat your professional employees.”

Espiritu said both kinds of pay increases – merit-based and COLA – are accounted for in the fiscal 2014 budget. Taken together, they are worth

$122,669. Espiritu said the merit increases are not automatic, and that about half of the employees have graduated out of it.

City Clerk Liz Peerboom, an elected official as well as a former DeKalb employee, expressed support for the 2 percent increase for the city’s management staff.

“If we lost many of them, we would be in big trouble,” Peerboom said.

Both Espiritu and individual council members agreed to take steps to draft a new compensation plan. Espiritu said they will contact certain firms about getting help in creating such a plan.

Jacobson also was the sole dissenter in approving a pay increase for City Attorney Dean Frieders.

Frieders initially was denied a pay increase at their previous meeting.

Under the new increase, the city will pay Frieders Law $17,340 a month – or $208,080 a year – for the firm’s legal services.

Area police agencies report weekend mostly uneventful Police calls

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com DeKALB – The Fourth of July brought no increase in crime in the DeKalb County but it did bring several unusual cases.

The holiday weekend proved to be fairly quiet for the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office. But on Monday morning deputies responded to a call about a man in Somonauk who was drunk and wanting to hunt coyotes.

After the police arrived, they charged Hawken L. Oldfather, 21, of the 2200 block of North 2800 East Road, Emington, with possession of a firearm and ammunition without having a firearm owner’s identification card.

When the police found Oldfather, he was sitting at a picnic table with a gun, which didn’t belong to him, laid on the top of the table, said Gary Dumdie, sheriff’s office chief deputy. He had been drinking but he wasn’t dangerous, he said.

“He wasn’t threatening anyone,” Dumdie said.

Oldfather made a comment to the police he was hunting

Number of incidents during Fourth of July weekend reported by the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office: n Driving under the influence: 2 n Noise violations: less than 5 n Domestic battery: 3 n Burglaries: 3 n Accidents: 3 n Possession of drug paraphernalia: 1 n Fireworks complaints: 10 coyotes, he said. While coyotes are open season in Illinois year-round, hunters must have a license and a firearm identification owner’s card, he said.

DeKalb police responded to an incident where a DeKalb resident had been run over by a train, said DeKalb police Lt. James McDougall.

The man was intoxicated and sleeping between the rails when a train ran him over overnight Sunday, but he only suffered a broken arm. He was cited for trespassing, McDougall said.

“It is very unusual for someone to be run over by a

train and not suffer anything more than a broken arm,” McDougall said.

For other cities in the county, offenses weren’t any more significant than the fireworks.

In Genoa, where the police have stridently enforced anti-fireworks laws for the past seven to eight years, there were only three citations issued for unlawful use of fireworks, said Genoa Police Chief Ty Lynch.

“I think the Genoa Police Department has been strict on fireworks for a number of years and I think people know not to light them up here,” Lynch said.

Sycamore police received about a dozen calls for fireworks complaints over the weekend but not much else, said Sycamore police Lt. Darrell Johnson. Other than the fireworks, there were three noise complaints. Most of those complaints reported loud parties and dogs barking, he said.

“I think it is because there are more people out of town than usual,” Johnson said about the lack of crime over the holiday weekend. “More people traveling.”

8STATE BRIEF Governor ready for showdown on gun bill CHICAGO – Gov. Pat Quinn predicted a “showdown” in Springfield over his proposed changes to a concealed carry bill, but there was little indication from lawmakers and legislative leaders a day ahead of today’s vote that they’d do much more than reject his demands.

For days, Quinn has been pushing for his alterations to a bill that would make Illinois the last in the nation to allow concealed carry of weapons

in public, something the state must do by today to meet a court-mandated deadline. The Chicago Democrat recently highlighted Chicago’s violence at churches, parades and outside Wrigley Field by linking the rash of recent shootings to the need for tougher gun laws.

He urged the same Monday after signing two bills dealing with gang-related crime on Chicago’s West Side, saying lawmakers shouldn’t “override common sense” set out in his proposal.

While Quinn’s changes –

which include a one-gun limit and no guns in establishments that serve alcohol – have been embraced by Chicago’s anti-violence advocates, they’ve received a cold reception from lawmakers. Many were angered that Quinn waited a month after receiving the bill to make his changes and accused him of pandering to voters. Quinn, who’s running for re-election, faces some potentially high-profile challengers from his own party.

Crash investigators turn to pilot’s and crew’s actions The ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN FRANCISCO – Investigators trying to understand why Asiana Airlines Flight 214 crash-landed focused Monday on the actions of an experienced pilot learning his way around a new aircraft, fellow pilots who were supposed to be monitoring him and why no one noticed that the plane was coming in too slow.

Authorities also reviewed the initial rescue efforts after fire officials acknowledged that one of their trucks may have run over one of the two Chinese teenagers killed in the crash at San Francisco International Airport. The students were the accident’s only fatalities.

National Transportation Safety Board Chairman Deborah Hersman said investigators watched airport surveillance video to determine whether an emergency vehicle hit one of the students. But they have not reached any firm conclusions. A coroner said he would need at least two weeks to rule in the matter.

The students had been in the rear of the aircraft, where many of the most seriously injured passengers were seated, Hersman said.

The NTSB also said part of

Investigators have said Flight 214 was flying “significantly below” its target speed during approach when the crew tried to abort the landing just before the plane smashed onto the runway. Authorities do not know yet whether the pilot’s inexperience with the

Boeing 777 and landing it at San Francisco’s airport played a role.

The airline acknowledged Monday in Seoul that the pilot at the controls had flown that type of plane for only a short time and had never before landed one at that airport.

Asiana spokeswoman Lee Hyomin said pilot Lee Gangguk had logged nearly 10,000 hours operating other planes but had only 43 hours in the 777, a plane she said he was still getting used to.

The House-backed plan, which would come with significant cost savings, imposes acrossthe-board changes to pension recipients and raises the retirement age. The Senate plan would give workers a choice in the benefits they would receive upon retirement, and supporters say it would have a better chance of passing constitutional muster.

“Let’s look at the savings in the [university-supported] proposal and see where we

State Rep. Mike Fortner, a West Chicago Republican, went over his own separate proposal that would require bond payments to be redirect- State Rep. ed to the state’s Mike Fortner pension fund once bonds mature. The plan also would increase employee contributions and cap pension benefits.

State Rep. Elaine Nekritz, a leading pension negotiator, said after the meeting the committee likely will send a proposal supported by university presidents off for an analysis of what it would ultimately cost the state. That number crunching process could take several weeks.

The plan, advanced by the Institute of Government and Public Affairs at the University of Illinois, requires workers to pay more toward

Illinois’ unfunded pension liability is hovering around $100 billion largely because of lawmakers voting over decades to either skip or short the state’s pension payment.

Making that full payment now costs the state more than $6 billion each year, an amount that takes money away from other areas, such as schools and public safety.

After signing legislation to combat gang violence in Chicago Monday, Quinn again called on members of the Legislature to put a pension reform bill on his desk.

“They’ve had one excuse after another for the last two years,” Quinn said. “If they don’t do their job by tomorrow, there’ll be consequences.”

Stermer expressed concerns about the pace of work being done by the committee, although he did not propose any alternative solutions or spell out what “consequences” Quinn was referring to if the deadline passes.

“As you know I’m an optimist but we’ve been working on this for two years and haven’t seen [progress],” he said.

• RECREATION

“One thing that I would envision, if [DeKalb and Sycamore park districts] worked together and it worked out ... if [a pool] would be an indoor/outdoor kind of facility where people could use it more, rather than just two or three months out of the year.”

Continued from page A1 called the Community Wide Strategic Planning Team, has discussed different projects the park district could pursue.

Strack said the team has narrowed its focus to linking the city’s various bike trails, building a new community center, and either upgrading the existing pool or building a new one. Sycamore’s current pool is 31 years old.

As with the proposed DeKalb-Sycamore pool, a lot of these projects do not have specific costs yet, Strack said. The team divided itself into three groups and they predicted which projects they’d want to tackle and when. Each group was asked to estimate how much it would cost to do all of those projects; their estimates ranged between $12 million and $16 million.

“We didn’t want to limit our discussion based on dollars initially, but it’s something we have to keep in mind,” Strack said.

Both the DeKalb and Sycamore park districts offer sim-

DeKalb has about 680 acres of open space and park land; Sycamore has about 400 acres.

Bessie Chronopoulos, a former DeKalb mayor and current resident, has been fairly active in pushing the DeKalb Park District and other governmental entities to cooperate with each other.

“One thing that I would envision, if the two worked together and it worked out ... if [a pool] would be an indoor/outdoor kind of facility where people could use it more, rather than just two or three months out of the year,” Chronopoulos said. “A variety of possibilities

need to be explored before you can make up your mind.”

The two park districts already collaborate through the Kishwaukee Special Recreation Association.

They also offer unique programs that are advertised in each other’s program guides.

Through this co-op program, DeKalb and Sycamore residents would pay the same rate for a badminton class or attend a free ice cream social, regardless of who is hosting it.

Small said the cooperation occurs on an informal basis as well, saying that she’ll sometimes call other park districts when she has a problem.

“We like to think of other park districts not as competitors, but that we’re all in this together as well,” Small said.

North Central Cyclery adds Freeport shop Know more

By DAVID THOMAS dthomas@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Since 2004, the leadership of North Central Cyclery has been sharing their vision of cycling with the DeKalb area.

“I think one of the strengths of this shop is that we keep a very warm, welcoming environment because I know what it was like to walk in and not know anything about bikes,” said Tobie DePauw, the store’s general manager.

“Bikes are wonderful. They’re very good for people; they’re good for a community. There’s no reason why we shouldn’t harbor that kind of feeling.”

Now, the scope of that vision is expanding, thanks to NCC owner Franklin Heegaard’s purchase of the Freeport Bicycling Co. in April. Heegaard and others will host an open house at the new store July 19 at 120 S. Chicago Ave. in Freeport.

Heegaard said he was looking to add another location when the Freeport store appeared on his radar.

“That shop is almost just like having a summer home for this shop,” Heegaard said. “It’s an extension of the same shop, the same family, the same products, the same attitude, the same people, and the owner there had a similar value system – the bike shop can be a crucial cornerstone of the community.”

Heegaard and DePauw noted the extensive history of cycling in Freeport.

North Central Cyclery Address: 534 E. Lincoln Highway, DeKalb Phone: 815-758-2403 Website: www.northcentralcyclery.com Freeport Bicycle Company Address: 120 S. Chicago Ave., Freeport Phone: 815-235-2014 Website: freeportbikes.com In 1889, Daniel C. Stover and William A. Hance patented a back pedal brake for bicycles at the Stover Bicycle Manufacturing Co. in Freeport.

Freeport Bicycle Co.’s current location has hosted different bicycle companies since 1897. DePauw said they will keep the Freeport name to honor its extensive history.

“In DeKalb, we had to make a very clean break from the management that was here before,” DePauw said. “There, it’s been run fairly well. The previous owner was great. ... Building on that history, we feel like there’s a rich cycling community that exists there already whose needs aren’t being met.”

DePauw said both stores will stock Trek products, while the DeKalb store will continue to serve as a destination spot for hard-to-find brands. The Freeport store will have products that cater to path-riding, as the town is close to three prominent bike paths.

Top 10 advantages of DeKalb County DeKalb County’s operational assets ensure the success of manufacturers and distributors by contributing to the bottom line – period. The top 10 competitive advantages of DeKalb County are:

1. Location and transportation: Located on I-88 in the center of the I-39 Corridor, DeKalb County affords congestion-free access to Metro Chicago destinations and mid-American markets. Convenient corporate passenger and cargo charter flights are available through DeKalb Municipal Airport, only minutes away. International commercial flights through Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport are within an hour’s drive. Cargo trans-shipment is available via intermodal facilities for all six major U.S. railroads.

2. Superior performance / profitable operations: Target’s DeKalb Distribution Center rapidly attained top-tier performance among the company’s distribution centers. Proximity to vendors and de-consolidators enables Target to generate cost savings by taking advantage of backhaul opportunities. Performance and community partnerships inspired 3M to select DeKalb for five distribution center expansions, including four new buildings. DeKalb serves as the main distribution complex for 3M domestic and export operations.

3. Speed to market: DeKalb County communities go out of their way to ensure that projects can be completed ahead of schedule and become productive assets for business. The SK Hand Tool headquarters and manufacturing facility in the Sycamore Prairie Business Park was completed by Krusinski Construction in only 12 weeks. 3M’s fifth DeKalb Distribution Center was completed in Park 88 by Clayco and Venture One Real Estate in four months.

4. Dynamic education and research partnerships: Northern

Compromise eases transition of health care

8LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Shodeen lacking in subdivision maintenance To the Editor: As a resident of Reston Ponds Subdivision in Sycamore, I would like to share my concerns about Shodeen Inc. planning another subdivision in DeKalb.

The empty lots at Reston Ponds have overgrown weeds, garbage, broken sewers and junction boxes that have been damaged. Illegal dumping is still a problem and is never cleaned up. The silt barriers that are supposed to surround the ponds are nonexistent. In addition, every street sewer is filled and blocked with garbage and silt.

Several trees in the common areas have also died and have not been replaced. The ponds also suffer with algae buildup and severe erosion.

In short, the subdivision is poorly maintained. I hope by informing this newspaper and the city of

DeKalb of this situation, they will put in place better controls than the city of Sycamore has at Reston Ponds subdivision.

And by the way, they have sold five houses in three years. At this rate, the subdivision should be built out in about 30 years.

Don’t be fooled – Illinois a low-tax state To the editor: Despite the beautiful weather over the Fourth of July weekend, elderly retirees in Illinois were anxious, waiting for the decision of a legislative committee on how much their pensions will be reduced on top of the significant increases in health insurance costs already imposed. The wait is agonizing because many retirees are totally dependent on their modest pensions; most state jobs

are not covered by social security.

One policy option for solving the pension problem has been pointedly ignored, increasing revenue to repay the money the state took, irresponsibly, from the pensions. Political figures and commentators erroneously claim that state is already highly taxed so that a revenue increase for repayment of the debt to the pensions is off the table.

But the reality is that Illinois is a comparatively low-tax state.

How can people claim that Illinois’s tax burden is high yet be wrong?

The answer is they are using data from the Tax Foundation, an organization that encourages states to compete with one another to lower taxes regardless of state deficits or the needs of the citizens. The claim that Illinois is a high-tax state comes from reports in newspapers that cite the Tax Foundation.

There is another, more neutral source of data. State tax administrators collect data in each state and report it online at http:// shawurl.com/o5s. This organization does not advocate any policy; it just reports on the numbers.

Their most recent data (from 2010) compares the tax burden state by state. Tax burden is calculated by adding together taxes and fees paid to the state and localities and dividing by income. Using tax administrators’ data, Illinois ranks 42nd among the states. Illinois has one of the lowest tax burdens in the country.

While changes are needed in the Illinois state pension plans, there is no need for the state to renege on obligations to those already retired. The state can raise revenue, pay its bills and still maintain its relatively low tax burden.

With nuclear families, U.S. evolves into America 3.0 The Fourth of July is always an occasion to think about what the United States of America has been, is and will be. A good way to reflect on that is to pick up a copy of “America 3.0” by James Bennett and Michael Lotus and ponder its lessons.

As the title suggests, Bennett and Lotus see the nation as having evolved from an agricultural America 1.0 to an industrial America 2.0 and struggling now to evolve again into an information age America 3.0.

That’s a familiar framework.

Where they differ from other analyses is that they see the roots of American exceptionalism, our penchant for liberty and individualism, stretching far back – more than 1,000 years – beyond 1776. Back to the Anglo-Saxon invaders of England after the fall of the Roman Empire.

Drawing on the 19th century historians Edward Augustus Freeman and Frederic Maitland and contemporary scholars Emmanuel Todd, Alan Macfarlane and James Campbell, they argue the Anglo-Saxons brought with them a unique institution, the absolute nuclear family, “the continuous core of our distinct American culture.”

In nuclear families, individuals, not parents, select spouses; women have comparative freedom and equality; children have no rights of inheritance; grown children leave parents’ homes and are not bound to extended families.

On each point this is contrary to longstanding family patterns in the rest of the world.

This enduring family pattern has consequences. It has made Americans liberty-loving, individualistic, keen for equal opportunity but not equal outcomes, venturesome, mobile and suspicious of big government.

American business has been given a needed reprieve from the imminent deadline to provide health insurance coverage under the Affordable Care Act. President Barack Obama’s decision to yield to legitimate business concerns is being touted by some as acknowledgment of the ACA’s failure, strengthening the call for a complete rejection of the law.

Compromise remains unrecognizable in battle-weary Washington.

The president’s decision rightfully respects businesses struggling to comply with the ACA requirement that any employer with more than 50 workers provide insurance coverage, or face a stiff fine of $2,000 per worker. The act provides subsidies to help employers and Americans comply with the coverage mandate.

We’re heartened to see the president listen, grant the requested delay and get to work on simplifying the rules.

But there’s no reason to expect or even want the president to turn back now.

The Affordable Care Act already is bringing wellness – not just treatment – to thousands of QuadCitians through community clinics built and expanded because of the act. The act already is expediting health professionals’ transition to digital data, so that patients’ medical records are available when patients need them, not locked up as proprietary information in providers’ offices.

This progress has been made even as a useless House of Representatives squanders taxpayer money voting without effect again and again to dismantle the act. The progress comes as state after state balks at provisions to establish online exchanges where Americans can easily compare health insurance products.

These assaults on ACA come as the rate of medical spending growth in America actually is slowing for the first time in decades. The ACA’s emphasis on wellness – not just treatment – is limiting the double digit percentage growth in health expenses.

Clearly, much needs to be done to bring millions of Americans into the insurance pool, spread out the risks and emphasize more preventative care. If Republican House members and governors focused more on prevention and risk management, perhaps we’d see even bigger savings by now.

The year-long reprieve gives America’s small businesses time to adjust to these big changes. We hope that time is used to enroll more Americans, launch the tax credit subsidies ACA provides to offset the cost to business, and get on with the important job of providing affordable health care to all.

Stronger controls needed for prescription pain meds Painkillers have become a prescription for addiction for millions of Americans. In this evolving epidemic, death rates from overdoses are rising much faster for women than they are for men, the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports.

Today, more women die from overdoses of prescription painkillers than from cervical cancer or homicide.

The opioid epidemic has hit white women – many from rural areas such as Appalachian Ohio – harder than black women, and older women more than younger ones.

To alleviate this problem, public health programs must take addiction to drugs that have legitimate medical uses as seriously as the abuse of street drugs such as heroin.

The costs of addiction are high, including severe depression, painful withdrawal symptoms, and fatal overdoses. Every year, more than 1 million Americans land in emergency rooms because of prescription drug abuse; the problem has grown steadily since 2004.

In 2010, more than 6,600 women died of opioid overdoses – five times more than in 1999 and a rate of increase nearly twice that of men. For men and women, more than 16,000 deaths – 43 percent of all fatal drug overdoses – were attributed to the abuse of prescription painkillers such as OxyContin and Vicodin.

Despite the alarming statistics, many Americans, especially teenagers, still believe prescription drugs are relatively harmless. Any effective anti-abuse program must start with public education and adequate treatment. Doctors must get better educated about the addictive potential of the drugs they prescribe.

States also need better prescription monitoring systems to detect so-called doctor shopping for multiple prescriptions. Finally, restricting access to these drugs could also help.

Regulators need to remember, though, that nearly 50 million people get hydrocodone prescriptions each year, most of them to ease chronic pain. Restricting access could make it harder for people to get the drugs they need to lead productive lives.

Prescription painkillers have eased an enormous amount of pain for millions of Americans. But raising awareness about their dangers must become a far higher priority for local, state, and federal governments.

If not, millions more, including a growing number of women, will feel the pain of addiction.

Q&A WITH NIU SENIOR GUARD/FORWARD AKSEL BOLIN

Bolin representing Norway on international stage

By STEVE NITZ snitz@shawmedia.com AP photo

Kastles can pass Lakers’ winning streak WASHINGTON – Oh, the audacity. A World TeamTennis club is challenging the Los Angeles Lakers for all-time winning streak supremacy.

The Washington Kastles began the WTT season riding a 32-game winning streak, after back-to-back unbeaten championship seasons. They liked to tell anyone who would listen that they were second only to the Lakers among the “longest winning streaks in major U.S. pro sports history.”

That changed Monday night when they won their season opener against the New York Sportimes – in front of a sellout crowd that included first lady Michele Obama – to tie the Lakers’ mark of 33 from the 1971-72 season. Another win today against the Boston Lobsters would break the record.

Saying the Sportimes, Lobsters and Lakers are on a level playing field might make some chortle – but not the Kastles.

Leander Paes said he cried – yes, cried – when he had to leave the Kastles for a few games last year to represent India at the Olympic Games.

He was fearful that his absence might cause the team to lose.

“I hurt for it,” Paes said. “To me, playing the Olympics last year was huge. But leaving the Kastles to go for the Olympics and give it a chance to break the streak, I walked off the court in tears that day.”

Still, it’s a tough sell – Jerry West and Wilt Chamberlain taking a back seat to a team that plays its entire regular season in 17 days.

Most fans don’t consider WTT to be a “major” sports league. The matches have more of an exhibition feel, with the sport’s top players making only featured appearances on certain nights. It would look more like the majors and less like Triple-A if, say, Roger Federer and Andy Murray were playing every match.

In the past, he’s competed in the European National Championships, and he is playing for his home country at the World University Games in Kazan, Russia.

Bolin had six points as Norway opened the tournament with a 94-71 loss to Lithuania on Sunday, and added another six in his team’s 10674 win over China on Monday.

Norway continues tournament play Wednesday against Finland, and concludes the preliminary round by taking on Chile on Thursday and Brazil on Friday.

Putting the pieces together

DeKalb running back Dre Brown (center) gets into position before a play during a 7-on-7 competition against Rockford Lutheran on Monday in DeKalb. The Barbs have implemented a triple option offense and are working on putting the right players in the right positions during summer workouts and 7-on-7 competitions.

In new offensive scheme, Barbs look to utilize players’ strengths

By STEVE NITZ snitz@shawmedia.com DeKALB – To DeKalb football coach Matt Weckler, finding each player a position in 7-on-7 competitions is a puzzle.

The Barbs are using a new scheme this year – the triple option. Working with a system where multiple players will get carries, Weckler wants to plug guys into different spots, figuring out where they fit, whether it’s receiver, fullback or slot back, and getting the best combinations. In Weckler’s system, three backs will be on the field at once and each will see his share of carries.

The Barbs installed most of the offense at June’s minicamp, and will finish putting in the details at the team’s camp July 22 through 30. Senior Demetrious Collins, a player who could see time as a slot back this fall, said the triple option teaches DeKalb how to communicate and work as a team in an offense where the reps are spread out a little more.

Collins said the Barbs’ speed and quickness will be huge in the system, which the coaches have helped simplify.

CUBS AT WHITE SOX

Garza more valuable to Cubs if traded CHICAGO – Cubs right-hander Matt Garza has the tools of a No. 1 pitcher.

He mixes four pitches with a fastball that consistently hits 93 mph and typically displays good command while his on-field demeanor suggests Garza isn’t someone you want to mess with, always unafraid to pitch inside.

Garza’s loud personality makes him hard to go unnoticed in the clubhouse, and he loves pitching in important games.

Yet for all the positives, the Cubs need to trade Garza, who turns 30 in November, as soon as possible. Whether that happens today or minutes be-

INSIDE THE CUBS Meghan Montemurro fore the July 31 trade deadline passes, the Cubs must accept the best offer, which should include at least one legit big league prospect. Multiple reports Monday indicated the Cubs re-engaged in discussions for a contract extension with Garza, a free agent after this season.

But locking up Garza on a longterm deal, potentially five years, $80 million, which is what Detroit gave Anibal Sanchez in the offseason, only

makes sense if the Cubs are going to be legit playoff contender within the next two years. That doesn’t seem likely based on this season’s performance.

Plus, the most recent contract the Cubs gave out – four years, $52 million for Edwin Jackson – hasn’t panned out so far.

Theo Epstein and Co., do the right thing. Ship Garza out of town for a package of prospects. His value can’t get much higher after holding the White Sox to one earned run on five hits in seven innings. In his past five starts, Garza has posted a 0.97 ERA with 34 strikeouts in 37 innings.

8SPORTS SHORTS Lynch named to watch list for Maxwell Award Northern Illinois quarterback Jordan Lynch has been named to the watch list for the Maxwell Award, given to the nation’s most outstanding player as voted on by media, coaches and members of the Maxwell Football Club.

Lynch is one of seven Mid-American Conference players on the list. Ball State’s Keith Wenning is the other quarterback, while the other MAC representatives all are running backs – Kent State’s Dri Archer, Ohio’s Beau Blankenship, Toledo’s David Fluellen, Buffalo’s Branden Oliver and Central Michigan’s Zurlon Tipton.

Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te’o won the award last season.

Stalberg believes he can help Predators win again Viktor Stalberg believes the Nashville Predators have many of the elements in place to start winning again.

Their chances of bouncing back from a disappointing season could depend on whether the 27-yearold forward can help solve his new team’s scoring problems.

Less than two weeks after winning the Stanley Cup with the Blackhawks, Stalberg signed a four-year, $12 million contract to join Nashville as part of the Predators’ uncharacteristic free-agent spending spree. The Predators are counting on Stalberg to boost an offense that scored only 2.27 goals a game this past season to match the Florida Panthers for the lowest average in the NHL.

Judge orders NFL, retired players to negotiate PHILADELPHIA – The NFL and former players must try to negotiate a dispute over whether complaints about concussion-related injuries belong in court or in arbitration, a federal judge said Monday.

U.S. District Judge Anita B. Brody of Philadelphia had planned to rule July 22 in a legal fight that involves about 4,200 former players and could be worth billions of dollars.

But instead she ordered the two sides to begin mediation with retired federal Judge Layn Phillips. The retirees want the right to sue the league, while the NFL insists the claims must be arbitrated under terms of the collective bargaining agreement.

BLACKHAWKS

First-round pick forced to sit out workout CHICAGO – After sitting out for a pair of practice sessions and standing up for a handful of interviews Monday, Ryan Hartman exited the locker room and stood behind the glass at the Blackhawks’ practice facility.

Most of the healthy participants at the Hawks’ prospect camp had changed into street clothes, but a few lingered on the ice. Hartman studied forwards Mark McNeill and Phillip Danault, both of whom were first-round picks in 2011.

McNeill snapped a low shot that goaltending prospect Mac Carruth pushed aside. Could Hartman have scored on that opportunity?

Danault fired wide of the net with one shot and hit Carruth’s blocker with another.

Could Hartman have slipped either of those pucks past the goal line?

Maybe. Maybe not.

One answer is much more clear.

“It’s definitely tough to be on the other side of the glass,” Hartman said.

POWDER SPRINGS, Ga. – Police in suburban Atlanta said a man who identified himself as the son of NFL Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor has been arrested on rape charges.

Powder Springs police said Monday that 31-year-old Lawrence Taylor Jr. is accused of having sex with two underage girls. Police say one girl accused Taylor of sexually assaulting her July 6, and that another accused him of having consensual sex with her last year.

The elder Taylor, 54, was a linebacker for the New York Giants between 1981 and 1993 and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1999. Taylor was sentenced last year to six years of probation after pleading guilty to charges stemming from sex with an underage prostitute.

DALLAS – Dallas Cowboys lineman Josh Brent is out of jail again, but under new conditions that include wearing a drug-detection patch at all times and not driving at all.

You’ve competed with the Norwegian national team before, at the European National Championships from 2007 through 2010. What has the experience been like?

I’ve played with the U16, U18, U20 and the senior team and it has always been a great experience coming into

different tournaments being the underdog and beating bigger teams.

What does it mean to represent your country in an event like this? Norway is in a pool with Brazil, Chile, China, Finland and Lithuania. Where do you think your toughest competition will be?

It is huge to represent my country in Russia.

This event is similar to the Olympics and everybody is looking up to you. We have around 100 athletes traveling from Norway and representing in different sports. It is a great honor playing with our country’s flag on our chests.

The best teams in our group should be Lithuania, China

and Brazil.

In international competition, are there any rule changes or differences from NCAA competition that you really have to get used to?

The main differences are that the shot clock is at 24 seconds and that there are four quarters instead of two halves.

Have you ever been to Russia before? Anything you’re looking forward to doing in Kazan during your down time?

I’ve never been to Russia before, so I’m really excited.

I’m looking forward to going to watch a lot of different sports and playing some really high-level basketball.

CUBS

Hairston dealt to Nationals Note to readers: For more Cubs and White Sox coverage, log on to Daily-Chronicle.com.

By MEGHAN MONTEMURRO mmontemurro@shawmedia.com CHICAGO – The Cubs aren’t holding back in moving any tradable players.

Monday’s deal, which sent outfielder Scott Hairston and a player to be named later to the Washington Nationals for minor league right-hander Ivan Pineyro and a player to be named later, marked the Cubs’ second trade in the past week.

The Cubs recalled left-hander Brooks Raley from Triple-A Iowa before Monday’s game to add depth in the bullpen. The Cubs don’t have too many quality outfield options on the 40-man roster to fill Hairston’s spot on the bench.

Junior Lake, an infielder who has been playing in the outfield at Iowa for the past month, could be called up within the next month, especially if the Cubs trade right fielder Nate Schierholtz before the July 31 deadline. There are two spots open on the Cubs’ 40-man roster.

“We’ll probably keep Raley up until our bullpen is well rested,” general manager Jed Hoyer said.

“We’ll make a final decision at that point, but we would like to add another right-handed bat.”

Time for Garza to act like an ace for a different team Continued from page B1 “Needless to say he’s been a popular name and a guy we’ve gotten a lot of phone calls on,” general manager Jed Hoyer said of Garza. “I think he’s opened a lot of eyes the way he’s thrown the last four, five times out.”

The Cubs need leadership from their veterans, guys who will set a good example for the younger ballplayers coming up through the system.

But a leader doesn’t call out a young teammate, in this case catcher Welington Castillo, after a bad outing in which the starting pitcher, Garza, surrendered nine earned runs.

After that June 11 debacle against the Reds, Garza was questioned about his outing

and asked, “Are you still getting your feet wet, getting into a groove from coming off the DL?” Garza could have responded that he was fine or give any of the go-to clichés athletes have ready for almost any question. But instead, Garza, unprompted, began his answer by saying, “I haven’t thrown to [Castillo].”

“That’s what spring training’s for, so [Castillo] kind of gets the feel of me, I get the feel of him,” Garza continued. “I think that’s what we’re trying to do right now, just feel each other out. It’s tough. But being in this game for as many seasons as I have, I need to take control and I need to kind of guide him through it. I’m not doing what I’m supposed to do.

It lies on my shoulders and get

ready in five days to try and get it right.”

However, Castillo never had the chance to get it right five days later. In Garza’s five starts, including Monday against the White Sox, since the worst outing of his career Dioner Navarro has been the starting catcher. While Garza and Navarro have a history dating to their three seasons together with the Rays, Castillo has worked with Garza during past spring trainings.

Manager Dale Sveum has refused to label Navarro as Garza’s personal catcher, though Castillo said “we all know that’s the way it is.”

“Honestly, I feel bad,” Castillo said Monday. “ … I want to catch everybody, but at the same time stuff happens.”

Although Castillo said he

hasn’t had many conversations with Garza since his June 11 post-game comments beyond normal interaction, he’s pulling for his teammate to throw a no-hitter every time he steps on the mound. The Cubs sure could use that same maturity from Garza, which has been lacking over the course of his three seasons on the North Side.

It’s time for Garza to act like a No. 1 ace, on and off the field – in a different uniform.

O’s Davis highlights Home Run Derby field NEW YORK – Orioles slugger Chris Davis, who leads the majors with 33 homers, will be one of eight participants in the Home Run Derby on Monday night during All-Star festivities at Citi Field.

Davis was chosen by AL captain Robinson Cano of the Yankees. They will be joined on the AL squad by Tigers bopper Prince Fielder, who won the event last year and in 2009, and a player yet to be announced.

Mets star David Wright, the NL captain, selected 20-year-old Nationals phenom Bryce Harper along with Rockies outfielders Carlos Gonzalez and Michael Cuddyer.

Major League Baseball announced the field Monday – or at least most of it.

Cano won the 2011 Home Run Derby in Arizona.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Tony Stewart coasted for at least 250 miles at Daytona International Speedway, where he hardly worked up a sweat until the final hour of the race.

It’s a game he hates to play, dropping to the back of the pack at restrictor-plate races to casually circle the track lap after lap. The strategy of waiting until the end of the race to make a frantic, final push goes against his fundamentals of racing.

But he couldn’t deny the results Saturday night when he found himself in position to challenge Jimmie Johnson for the win. Although he ultimately settled for second, the finish pushed him a whopping six places to 10th in points in the Sprint Cup standings.

“This is a 195 mph chess match, and the lap that pays is lap 160,” Stewart AP photo said. “A lot is said about guys that lag Tony Stewart greets fans during driver introductions before Saturday night’s NASCAR Sprint back like that, but we’re in the most Cup race at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Fla.

Surprise wedding idea needs more thought Dear Abby: I am thinking about planning a “surprise” wedding for me and my fiance. We have been together for eight years and have lived together for seven. We put off the wedding for many reasons, chiefly the cost because those things are expensive.

We do not want to just elope.

The idea of having a theme party and inviting all our friends and family occurred to me the other day. Then, in the middle of it, we could bring in a priest and tie the knot! I have figured out the cost, and it shouldn’t be more than a grand. We could swing that.

But my question is, do we tell anyone about it beforehand? I told one of my girl-

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips friends and my fiance, and they think it’s a great idea.

It would take a lot of stress off. Should I tell my parents?

They sometimes blab (Dad is worse than Mom) when they’re excited about something. – Stealth Bride-To-Be Dear Stealth Bride-To-Be: One person you should definitely discuss this with would be the priest. Ask if he would be willing to marry a couple who has been living together because some aren’t, and also if he’d prefer the solemn vows be taken in a house of wor-

ship rather than a theme-party atmosphere. If that’s the case, you may have to settle for an officiant of another faith or a justice of the peace to perform the ceremony.

Also, I suggest you rethink your idea of keeping this happy news from your folks, who may have been praying for this for seven years. They might feel very hurt to find they were kept in the dark.

Dear Abby: My husband’s stepmother and father send religious-themed gifts for every holiday. We have an abundance of unused books, DVDs, stickers, coloring books, dolls, bookmarks, etc., purchased from local Christian stores for a hefty price.

We don’t see them often

during the year because we live in different states, but we would like our kids to have a good relationship with them.

The kids don’t seem to be fazed by it, but they also don’t get excited about opening and using these gifts.

We pay for our children to participate in religious education as well as attend several church functions during the school year. We believe grandparents should be interested in learning about what each child is drawn to, and not so much about preaching their own religious beliefs to us. It makes us uncomfortable and resentful at times.

How does one politely tell in-laws to stop sending religious-themed gifts? – Over-

loaded in South Carolina Dear Overloaded: One doesn’t. A better way to handle it would be to communicate with them in between these holidays and tell them what activities the grandkids are involved in, and any new interests they may have. A stronger hint than that would be offensive, and I don’t recommend it.

As to what to do with the unused items – donate them.

What are my treatment options?

Dear Reader: A fibroid is a lump or growth in the uterus. The uterus is made of a special kind of muscle. The muscle doesn’t do much most of the time, but once a month, it ejects the bloody discharge that collects inside it. During pregnancy, it expands to accommodate the growing baby.

And, of course, the uterus squeezes out the baby at the time of birth.

Fibroids are balls of uterine muscle. They are almost never cancerous, but they can cause severe pain and discomfort, most often during menstrual periods. In some

ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff cases, fibroids can cause infertility or repeated miscarriages. Fortunately, many treatment options exist.

Fibroids can be as small as a pea or as large as a basketball (really). They are usually round and pinkish, and they can grow anywhere inside or on the uterus. (I’ve put an illustration on my website.)

Some women with fibroids do not have symptoms and may not realize they have them until a gynecologist feels them during a pelvic exam. Small fibroids that are not causing symptoms and don’t interfere with fertility

do not need to be treated.

In other cases, women experience pain and heavy bleeding. A doctor may prescribe medications that stop the ovaries from making the female hormone estrogen, which fibroids need in order to grow. This controls excessive bleeding and temporarily shrinks the fibroids. When the medication is stopped, periods return and fibroids start growing again.

Fibroids that cause severe symptoms or interfere with fertility may be surgically removed. There are several techniques: • In a myomectomy, the fibroid is cut from the uterine wall. Myomectomy allows a woman to keep her entire uterus in case she wants to have children. In some cases,

a traditional surgical approach is needed. The doctor makes a large incision in the lower abdomen, sees the uterus directly and cuts out the fibroids.

Often a less invasive procedure, laparoscopic surgery, can be done. A flexible tube or scope is placed through those incisions. At the end of the scope is a light, a camera and surgical instruments that the doctor can manipulate. Instead of seeing the uterus and fibroids directly, the doctor sees them on a video monitor and watches the surgery she is doing on the monitor. Because laparoscopic procedures are less invasive, people recuperate faster.

• In a hysteroscopic resection, a viewing instrument called a hysteroscope

is inserted into the uterus through the vagina. Surgical instruments attached to the hysteroscope remove fibroids growing inside the uterus.

• In the X-ray-guided procedure called uterine artery embolization, material is injected into the arteries that provide blood to the fibroids.

Starving the fibroid of blood shrinks it.

• Hysterectomy involves the removal of the uterus.

Once the uterus is removed, a woman can no longer bear children.

Fibroids often shrink on their own after menopause, because they no longer have enough female hormones to grow.

Sever your relationship with him immediately!

Dr. Wallace: I’m 18 and dating a guy who is 19. We have been seeing one another for six years. I still live at home, but he lives in an apartment with his older brother.

Jake is a super guy, sweet, generous and courteous, but he has a terrible temper.

Lately he has been having temper tantrums regularly – at least once on every date.

Many things trigger him off. If an old man is driving too slowly, he will go into a rage, pass him when he can and then drive very, very slowly in front of the old man. Sometimes he will slam on his breaks, hoping the old man will hit the rear

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace of his car. If I say anything like, “Jake, leave the old man alone,” he blows up at me and then screams that I need to shut up or he will kick my rear end.

Yesterday, a dog crossed the street in front of his car, and he purposely sped up and tried to hit it. I was totally shocked. I told him that trying to run over an innocent animal was the act of someone who was crazy.

That really set him off. He

8ASTROGRAPH

By BERNICE BEDE OSOL Newspaper Enterprise Association

TODAY – To be successful in the year ahead, you should free yourself from all distractions and focus on your goals and objectives. If you attempt to do too much too fast, it could quickly lead to your undoing.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – This may not be one of your better days for managing resources, either yours or other people’s.

Even if asked to do so, don’t take on any fiscal responsibilities.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – If someone thinks you’re acting self-serving, this person might place obstacles in your path just to trip you up. Don’t give them an excuse to interfere – be openly generous and altruistic.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – When attempting to fulfill an ambitious objective, you should keep moderation in mind. Even if you’re on the right track, watch out, because the rail might be flimsy.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Any involvement that has strong elements of risk or speculation would be best avoided today.

There’s a chance that your belief in losing might take precedence over your will to win.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Even though you’re apt to be ambitious and industrious, you might do things the hard way, which will end up being counterproductive. Think your moves through carefully.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – If you’re trying to bluff your way through something, you had better have a good poker face. Opponents will easily read your intentions if you’re not careful.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – It will take some exceptionally shrewd maneuvering on your part to come out on top in a business matter. Keep this in mind when you sit down to negotiate.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Strive to maintain harmony and balance in all of your personal and business affairs. If you don’t, things could get out of sync very quickly.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Sadly, others won’t be as eager to help you as you are to help others. Don’t embarrass yourself by requesting a favor from someone unless it’s absolutely necessary.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Even though you try to promote cooperation, you might still run into someone who resists all such attempts. Don’t be afraid to play rough.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – If you find yourself having to share credit with someone you dislike, don’t make your feelings obvious. Be above it all and give acknowledgement where it is due.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – It isn’t likely that you’ll get others to have faith in your ideas if you show doubt about them yourself. Have confidence or go home.

said that if I ever called him crazy again, he would put me in the hospital or, worse, the morgue.

When Jake is not on a terror binge, he is absolutely wonderful. When he is nice, I ask him why he gets so angry over little things, and he says that his father was the same way. He says that he can’t stop himself from being “overemotional.”

What should I do? One minute I love him and the next I despise him. Please tell me what you think I should do. – Nameless, Naperville, Ill. Nameless: A guy who goes on regular “terror binges”

is not safe to be with. Trust me, one of these days he’ll carry out his threats to you – unless he’s arrested first for violence toward someone else.

I urge you to sever your relationship with him immediately. His irrational behavior far outweighs whatever is fun and decent about him. He needs professional help – and he knows it, which is why he gets so defensive about being called “crazy.”

Dr. Wallace: I smoke. My grandfather keeps telling my parents that teens who smoke wind up using drugs.

sion, but I have never ever done drugs and I don’t intend to.

Please print my letter.

That way my parents will know that I’m serious when I tell them I won’t do drugs, and maybe my grandfather (who is a good man) will get off my case. – Nameless, Sidney, Ohio Nameless: Not all people who smoke move on to drugs, but more than 80 percent of all drug users smoke, according to the American Lung Association. Your best option is to do neither!

8CROSSWORD

Which suit do you bid second?

J.P. Morgan of banking fame said, “A man always has two reasons for doing anything – a good reason and the real reason.”

A bridge player chooses a bid for two reasons – to describe his hand as accurately as possible and to reach the right final contract. Of course, they are symbiotic, one helping the other.

However, sometimes it isn’t obvious what bid to make. Look at the South hand.

You open one spade, and partner responds two clubs. What would you rebid?

A columnist explained that with 6-4 shape, opener rebids in his six-card suit with a minimum, but shows the side suit when he has extras. That is true only when the four-card suit is a minor. When it is a major, opener always shows it. To rebid two spades here in principle denies four hearts.

Now look at the West hand.

What would you lead against seven hearts?

The writer gave a bizarre auction before discussing the play in seven hearts after West leads a low club. South wins with his queen, then should ruff a spade, cash the heart king, play a heart to his ace, ruff another spade, ruff a club to establish the suit, draw East’s last trump, and claim, the diamond ace being the entry to the club winners.

He takes one spade, three hearts, one diamond, five clubs and the three ruffs.

But why would West lead a club? Perhaps he hoped that East was void in the suit. But if he had been, he probably would have made a Lightner Slam Double, asking for a lead in the first suit bid by dummy.

A diamond lead defeats seven hearts. In general, do not lead suits bid by the opponents.
