jengelhardt@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Virgina Sherrod still remembers the excitement she felt as she watched Jimmy Carter walk down Pennsylvania Avenue during his inauguration. Although she was not there in person Monday, Sherrod said President Barack Obama’s inauguration proved more exciting than her experience in 1977. She said it was special and historic to see Obama take office on Martin Luther King Jr. Day and reflect on all the positive changes that have occurred since 1977. She said it was heartwarming to see the diversity of people who came together during the inauguration. “All day I’ve been overwhelmed ... on the top of the world,” she said. “It’s amazing to see so many people come together and find common ground. We all have a common ground.”

In speech, Obama shows assertive side Second term priorities President Barack Obama faces restoring the economy’s health, overhauling immigration laws and reducing gun violence.

By CHARLES BABINGTON The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama appealed for “one nation and one people” in his second inaugural address. Any notion that the country’s bitter partisanship might fade, however, seemed tempered by the president’s newly assertive push of central Democratic tenets: safety-net programs for the poor, equal rights for gays and minorities and government spending on investments such as schools and highways. Deficit spending, the president’s biggest conflict with Republicans, got only one passing mention. And he never uttered the word “debt.”

DeKALB – In the 50 years after Martin Luther King Jr. told the world that he had a dream, Tammy Shered believes that dream is half-accomplished. “The dream has manifested,” said the DeKalb resident, referring to interracial marriage, gay marriage and desegregation as examples of progress. “But now we have to keep the dream going and add on to the dream and move forward.” Charlese Williams, a 12-year-old student at Christian Cornerstone Academy in Sycamore, agreed that King’s work isn’t done. “Building our nation up, working together as a community,” Charlese said in regard to what needed to be done. They were two of at least 70 people who attended “The Beloved Community:

Faces That Inspire” event Monday evening at New Hope Missionary Baptist Church. The service featured pastors from New Hope, First Congregational Church and Federated Church, reading about the lives and works of King, John Perkins and

Clarence Jordan. King, a Baptist minister, first came to prominence in 1955 by leading a bus boycott in Montgomery, Ala. His work and reputation spread across the nation, culminating with him earning the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964. Perkins was also a civil

rights activist of the time, starting a number of community organizations in Mississippi. Jordan’s work with a small but dedicated religious community eventually served as the inspiration for Habitat for Humanity. The pastors touched on the many similarities of King, Perkins and Jordan. In addition to being advocates of racial equality, they were all men who renewed their faith after suffering a particular crisis. And they were advocates of peace. “They did not return evil with evil,” said Angela Baron-Jeffrey, an assistant pastor at New Hope, on the three men’s commitment to peaceful methods and responses in the face of violence. Shered, whose family arrived in the county in the early 1900s, said she has seen community progress

Frigid weather poses added challenges for DeKalb drivers, walkers By DAVID THOMAS

DeKALB – Residents are advised to dress warm or stay indoors as the region braces today for the lowest temperatures of the winter season. Temperatures that hung in the single digits Monday afternoon were expected to drop to 4 below zero overnight. But factoring in wind gusts, wind chills of between minus-25 and minus-15 degrees are expected. A wind chill advisory from the National Weather Service was in effect from 6 p.m. Monday to 9 a.m. today. Much of the Midwest is covered by either a wind chill advisory or warning.

“If you have to go outside, dress appropriately with a hat and gloves,” Seeley said. “If you don’t have to be outside, don’t.” Dr. Andrew Oleksyn, director of the emergency department at Kishwaukee Community Hospital in DeKalb, said people should avoid prolonged exposure to the cold weather. He advised people to wear multiple layers of loose, dry clothing if they must be outside. A person who does not take these precautions risks hypothermia, Oleksyn said. “Take a thermometer ... if [your body temperature] is below 95 degrees, it’s considered an emergency and you should seek medical attention,”

Oleksyn said. Hypothermia can occur at any temperature, he said. Jon Bockman, owner of Bockman’s Auto Care at 2158 Oakland Drive, Sycamore, recommended that drivers store their vehicles in a garage overnight. If that’s not possible, Bockman said parking the car in a location sheltered from the wind could help. Below-zero temperatures can affect a car in several ways, Bockman said, but there are a number of steps drivers can take to minimize the impact, including checking the antifreeze and tire pressure. Tire pressure can drop as cold temperatures cause the air inside tires to contract. “If you hit a pothole, you

In addition to checking on the buses, Briscoe said he has spoken to maintenance about making sure the buildings are heated well. “There are never any guarantees when the temperatures drop,” Briscoe said. Briscoe advised parents to make sure their children are covered before they leave the house. “People need to dress appropriately,” Briscoe said. “Don’t let their kids leave until they do so.”

genoa native Kay oursler with noeli, a 14-year-old orphan she has helped raise and educate in the Tanzanian village of Uhekule. Noeli speaks fluent English, as well as Swahili and his tribal language, Bena. The only livestock Noeli had ever seen were goats and chickens, so he was thrilled to get his first ride on a horse near Hot Springs, Ark., then ride on a big combine at the Jerry Bemis farm near DeKalb. I asked Noeli what new American foods he liked and he replied, “pizza with sausage, then waffles.” His diet in Tanzania consists mainly of a corn flour porridge, called ugali, and potatoes. On special occasions villagers may get goat meat or chicken. Kay is hoping to raise enough to buy three milking goats for the village this year. She has planted corn on a four-acre plot and was sent a tractor by an American friend in Little Rock, Ark., so she can prepare the ground. The villagers form a team to dig small holes, then Kay and other women follow behind, planting the kernels and covering each hole using their feet.

She has also planted a vegetable garden each year using chicken fertilizer and taught others to do the same. There was no electricity in Uhekule until the Praecavemus Foundation in Los Gatos, Calif., came to her aid and funded solar panels, which now make it possible for lights, a computer and a refrigerator to be powered in the school. Kay heads back to her adopted village this month, where she is known affectionately as “Bibi Kay.” Bibi is a Swahili term for grandmother. Noeli will return to a nearby boarding school to start seventh grade, with grandiose tales to share with his schoolmates about a land called America with big cars, giant combines, horses and pizza. What a culture shock for this young man. To find out more about Kay’s life mission, go online to www.bibikay. com.

Kansas case reveals risk of assisted reproduction By HeaTHer HoLLingSWorTH The Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The case of a Kansas sperm donor being sued by the state for child support underscores a confusing patchwork of aging laws that govern assisted reproduction in the United States and often lead to litigation and frustration among would-be parents. Complex questions about parental responsibility resurfaced late last year, as Kansas officials went after a Topeka man who answered a Craigslist ad from a lesbian couple seeking a sperm donor. Because no doctor was involved in the artificial insemination, the state sought to hold William Marotta financially responsible for the child when the women split up and one of them sought public assistance. A hearing is set for April. Many states haven’t updated their laws to address the evolution of family structures – such as same-sex families, single women conceiving with donated sperm or artificial inseminations performed without a doctor’s involvement. At-home insemination kits are inexpensive, and obtaining sperm from a friend, or even a donor met over the Internet, allows women to avoid medical costs that generally aren’t covered by insurance. But experts say that as case law changes, families put themselves at risk by failing to seek legal advice. The first wave of assisted reproduction laws were based on model legis-

Note to readers: Barry Schrader’s “DeKalb County Life” column is returning to the Daily Chronicle on a monthly basis. Kay Oursler has spent the past seven years in a remote village in Tanzania in east Africa, working with villagers to improve their farming techniques and building an orphanage and school with the financial assistance of churches and friends back in the United States. Kay made a recent visit to this country with one of her 35 foster children to see her own family scattered around the Midwest and former classmates from Genoa. She is a 1958 graduate of GenoaKingston High School and had lunch with about 15 class members, me among them. At age 73, Kay is seeking a nonprofit organization, church or foundation to help relieve some of the burden she has carried since joining the Peace Corps in 2005 and then staying on another five years in Uhekule village, where she has raised money for and overseen construction of the orphanage and school. There are more than 100 orphans there who lost both parents to HIV/ AIDS, and she has been able to help almost 50 of them obtain a better education in larger cities nearby with financial aid from people in the U.S., as well as her own fundraising efforts. “But I am getting tired and, at my age, need to slow down and reduce my workload,” she said at the class reunion. Her wish is to find an American charitable foundation or church to continue funding the orphanage and boarding school, plus provide staffing to educate and care for the young students. It has a capacity of 50, but only 12 children are enrolled. She brought with her a 14-year-old boy named Noeli, one of many orphans she has either raised or helped to educate. He had never been more than 100 miles from home and was amazed at what he has experienced since arriving in this country in December.

Kansas sperm donor William Marotta is being sued by the state of Kansas to pay child support after providing sperm to a samesex couple who split up. lation from 1973. These statutes typically call for, among other things, the involvement of a medical provider in order for a sperm donor to be freed of parental responsibility. “They put a whole bunch of what they thought were reasonable restrictions on the process to encourage people to do it responsibly,” said Steve Snyder, a Minnesota family law attorney and chairman of an assisted reproduction committee for the American Bar Association. But, he said, the problem is that if people “don’t fall under the strict terms of the law, then the law doesn’t protect you.” As a result, the doctor involvement requirement and other stipulations were dropped in 2000 when the model

legislation, the Uniform Parentage Act, was updated. The new language has been enacted in nine states, including Alabama, Oklahoma and Texas. But Kansas’ law, enacted in 1994, was based on the earlier model. Kansas isn’t alone in grappling with assisted reproduction issues. In Indiana, an appeals court ruled last week that a man who divorced his wife must pay child support for their son and daughter, even though the children were conceived by artificial insemination using sperm donated by another man. Still another case in Indiana involved a man who was ordered in 2010 to pay child support for only one of the two children resulting from his sperm donations. “The only way to avoid these situations is to change the law to catch up with the technology and what people are actually doing in assisted reproduction,” Snyder said. Sperm donation and parental rights may sound like a relatively niche sector in the legal arena, but updating laws has been a challenge, and some like the rules just the way they are. Kansas’ state Senate Majority Leader Terry Bruce, a conservative Republican, said he doubts legislators will or should consider making changes. “It tells everybody don’t do stupid things on Craigslist. It’s kind of common sense,” he said.” If you’re going to create another life, even if it’s a good intention, that’s a heck of a responsibility, and it’s one that precedes any sort of state action.”

Voters to sound off on D-432 tax referendum on ballot By DAVID THOMAS

dthomas@shawmedia.com

SOMONAUK – Somonauk School District 432 is once again placing its fiscal future in the hands of voters. School board President Tom Nielsen said a referendum to allow the board to raise the education fund tax rate up to 4 percent will be on the April 9 ballot. Nielsen emphasized that this didn’t mean the tax would go up; the board would just have the permission to increase it if necessary. If the referendum is passed, District 432 could avoid making more than $800,000 in program cuts and layoffs this year. The district has been struggling with keeping its finances afloat as property values in the area drop. “The district is trying to respond to a reduction in income of over $2 million,” Nielsen said. “With that kind of reduction, you can’t do the same things you used to do.” The district will host a special meeting from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Thursday in the Somonauk High School cafeteria, 501 W. Market St. Nielsen said they will talk

Market St. about the referendum and the district’s finances, but it also will be a chance for the public to meet the individuals running for school board. In November, a similar property tax referendum that would have generated $900,000 annually for the school district was voted down. Since then, the district board has considered cutting everything from athletics to teachers. This time around, the board knows what the message is, Nielsen said. “I’m optimistic,” Nielsen said when asked on the chances of passage. “We’ve heard a lot of feedback that people were not informed on the situation. So, we’ve really crystallized and clarified the message.” Nielsen said a team of volunteers is canvassing neighborhoods, talking to friends and neighbors about the referendum. Nielsen said feedback

has been positive, but he has kept the previous vote’s outcome in mind. “The board does not want to make these cuts,” Nielsen said. “The board is responding to the decline in revenue because the belt is being tightened.” Property values in the district have fallen for the fourth consecutive year, which is significant to a school district that relies on property taxes for 75 percent of its revenue. The majority of the district lies in LaSalle County, which is not a tax-capped county. This means that to raise revenue, the district needs voter permission unlike DeKalb or Sycamore school districts, Nielsen said. “If the values go down, you can raise the tax rate,” Nielsen said. You can levy as much money as you can to run your schools. You can’t do that in LaSalle County without voter permission.” The district also will see less help from the state. The state already has announced it will prorate payments at 89 percent, but a declining district enrollment means that Somonauk will see a smaller share of state aid.

Report: N.M. teen had homicidal, suicidal thoughts By SuSAN MoNToyA BryAN The Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – The New Mexico teenager accused of fatally shooting his parents and three younger siblings told authorities he was annoyed with his mother and had been having homicidal and suicidal thoughts, according to a probable cause statement. Nehemiah Griego, 15, re-

mained in custody Monday on charges of murder and child abuse resulting in death. He was arrested after the shootings Saturday at a home in a rural area southwest of Albuquerque where he lived with his family. A Bernalillo County sheriff’s detective questioned the teen Saturday night and the details of their conversation were spelled out in the statement. The teen allegedly told the

detective that he took a .22 caliber rifle from his parents’ closet around midnight Saturday and shot his mother in the head while his younger brother slept next to her. Griego told the detective that his brother did not believe him that their mother was dead so he showed his mother’s bloody face to his brother and then shot him, according to the statement. He’s accused of then shoot-

ing his two young sisters in their room. He retrieved an AR-15 rifle from his parents’ closet and waited in a downstairs bathroom for his father to come home. The statement said he shot his father multiple times after he passed the bathroom doorway. The teen said he reloaded the guns so “he could drive to a populated area to murder more people,” according to the statement.

He is survived by his children, Vicki (Chuck) Jones of Rockford and Jerry (Maudie) Andresen of Malta; seven grandchildren; 14 great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his wives, Alida in 1944, and Ruth in 2009; son, Fred in 1976; brothers, Julius Andresen in 2010 and Marshall Birkland in 1963; and sisters, Leila Jorgensen in 2009, Ann Anderson in 1964 and Betty Carter in 1997. The funeral service will be held at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 26, at Anderson Funeral Home, DeKalb, with Pastor Chuck Rife of First Evangelical Free Church, Rockford, officiating. Burial will follow at Fairview Park Cemetery, DeKalb. Visitation will be from 4 to 7 p.m. Friday, Jan. 25, at Anderson Funeral Home, DeKalb.

KishHealth launches home care program By JEFF ENGELHARDT

jengelhardt@shawmedia.com

DeKALB – Everything and nothing changed Jan. 1 for Lisa Hardcastle. When the new year came, Hardcastle was still the director of a home care division, but it was no longer for the DeKalb County Health Department. Instead, Hardcastle assumed the same position under the KishHealth System banner, completing a transfer of the program that had been discussed for months. Some of the 16 home care employees laid off by the county, including Hardcastle, were hired by KishHealth System to create a seamless transition for the roughly 70 home care patients in the program. Hardcastle said it has been an exciting process moving from an agency with fewer than 100 employees to an organization with more than 1,500 employees and immense resources. The potential for growth is starting to be realized, she said, with plans to expand to communities surrounding DeKalb and Sandwich. Hardcastle said there also are opportunities to integrate other hospital resources such as dietitians in the home care experience. “Nursing is nursing is nursing no matter where you go and those core services are going to stay the same,” she said. “But there are a lot more resources here at the hospital and the challenge now is learning to navigate that.” Home care services provide skilled nursing, home health aides, physical, occupational and speech therapy, and medical social workers to those with chronic illnesses or who are

CHAMBER VIEW Matt Duffy the community and has recognized 17 individuals to date. This year’s honorees, Frank Roberts and Jerry Smith, fit right in and are very deserving to be recognized. Many know Frank Roberts for his role as president of Re:New DeKalb or as executive vice president at Castle Bank, but he also has been very involved in a number of organizations as a lifelong DeKalb resident including the Kishwaukee College Foundation, DeKalb County Community Foundation, DeKalb Chamber Public Policy and City of DeKalb Economic Development Commission. Frank is known and respected for seeing the big picture and striving for excellence. Jerry Smith retired as the executive director of the DeKalb County Community Foundation in 2008. He previously served as chief executive officer for Castle Printech. Jerry’s involvement in the community includes board president of the DeKalb Chamber, DeKalb United Way, DCEDC and Kishwaukee Kiwanis.

His involvement also extends across a number of other civic, social and business organizations. Jerry is described as a professional who is passionate about DeKalb County and a genuinely positive person who encourages all those around him.

Attack poverty in Illinois now

8LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Proud of local efforts aimed at Kiwanis Park

To the Editor: We have much to be proud of in DeKalb. The Northern Illinois University football team, the DeKalb High School Marching Band, and now, the preservation of Kiwanis Park for all of our residents. Thank you to Jan Jacobson, the Franzenes, Bill Colvin and, of course, Bessie Chronopoulos. A special thanks to all who froze in the Kiwanis Park shelter at one of our meetings. I want to personally acknowledge the Park District Board, DeKalb School District 428 board members and Superintendent Briscoe and his staff. I am heartened by the showing of interested citizens no matter which side of town they inhabit, and those residents who no longer have young children using the park but want it preserved for future generations. It truly is amazing what can be accomplished when citizens work together for the betterment of all. Darlene Larson DeKalb

‘Roe’ anniversary no cause to celebrate

To the Editor: A video surfaced on YouTube recently that showed shocking child abuse. In it, a young mother from

Malaysia was pinching and beating with a pillow her tiny, crying baby who was barely old enough to crawl. As the child crawled toward her, she’d push it away and hit it with the pillow again. Internet reactions to this universally were of outrage. Bloggers found it very disturbing and told of how they’d like to do terrible things to the mother for revenge. Despite the unanimity of opinion on this horrific act, the much more horrible practice of abortion receives shoulder shrugs or even kudos from the same people who condemn the abuse in the video. If pinching a baby and hitting it with a pillow is bad, how much worse is torturing it to death with sharp instruments or acid? Today marks the 40th anniversary of the notorious Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion throughout the U.S. Since then, tens of millions of babies have died in the most horrific fashions simply for the crime of being unwanted by their birth mothers. We live in a society that increasingly is becoming angered at child abuse, dogfighting and other types of animal abuse, which is a very good thing. We’re also condemning of racism, sexism and religious intolerance. Yet when it comes to abortion we seem to have no collective conscience for the barbarism it

entails, and we justify with postnatal supremacy an intolerant form of bigotry that posits that unborn children are not even human beings. The late Dr. Bernard Nathanson once ran the largest abortion clinic in the world and was a co-founder of the prominent pro-abortion group NARAL. But over time, with advances in fetal technology, he began to realize that abortion was a form of murder. He abandoned his lucrative abortion practice and became a staunch pro-life activist. Similarly, many other abortion doctors have also abandoned their trade and spoken out for the rights of the unborn. They’ve come to the realization that the unborn are not blobs of tissue, but are human beings deserving of the right to live. I sincerely hope that by the 50th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, society as a whole comes to that realization, too. Ted McCarron DeKalb

Is the Constitution in need of alterations?

To the Editor: I have been very active on the Chronicle website and Facebook debating the merits of new gun restrictions. While thinking about this topic, a thought occurred that I have

never seen debated on any forum. Our Founding Fathers were very intelligent men. Arguably, the best the era had to offer. We have venerated them almost to the point of godhood for their efforts in establishing the form of government we enjoy to this day. But, alas, they were only men, intelligent and selfless, but also flawed and fallible. What if, for the sake of argument, they got it wrong? After all, these were, by and large, the same men who drafted the Articles of Confederation, a document that was so flawed it lasted mere years and caused a failed rebellion. How can we assume that a group of flawed, fallible men could create anything that, itself, was anything but flawed and fallible? And if it is flawed, don’t we owe it to ourselves and our descendents to fix the flaws? What are the flaws and how do we fix them? Is the current system of amending the Constitution sufficient to fix the flaws? Could it be improved? Are we fooling ourselves that the current Constitution is all we need, and not in need of replacing after 230 years? This letter is meant only as “food for thought.” Respectful, reasonable and logical debate is encouraged. Edward Wilcox DeKalb

GOP puts spotlight on Senate Democrats Have the House Republicans come up with a winning strategy on the debt ceiling and spending cuts? Or just a viable one? Maybe so. They certainly need one that is at least the latter, if not the former. Barack Obama is up in the polls since the election, as most re-elected presidents have been. The most recent NBC/Wall Street Journal poll shows him with 52 percent approval and 44 percent disapproval. Other public polls have similar results. In contrast, the NBC/WSJ poll reports that only 26 percent have positive feelings about the Republican Party and 51 negative feelings. Toward Speaker John Boehner only 18 percent have positive feelings and 37 percent negative feelings. It’s usually true that groups get lower ratings than individuals and congressional leaders get lower ratings than presidents. Still, these results represent a pretty negative verdict on House Republicans’ attempts to wrestle Obama into supporting their preferred fiscal policies. Defections by enough House Republicans to defeat Boehner’s Plan B approach to the fiscal cliff ended up producing a compromise considerably less to their liking. The agreement reached by Vice President Joe Biden and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell did limit effective tax increases to those with incomes of more than $400,000. But it also gave Democrats something they want – a permanent fix to the Alterna-

VIEWS Michael Barone tive Minimum Tax, which threatened to engulf high-earning Democratic voters in high-tax states like New York, New Jersey and California. Republicans used to dangle a one-year AMT fix as a negotiating chip in fiscal battles. Now they can’t. The House Republicans seem to be emerging from their Williamsburg retreat with a united approach to the debt ceiling issue, however. Raise the debt ceiling for three months and couple it with a cut off of congressional pay if the Democraticmajority Senate fails to pass a budget, as it has for the past three years. Senate Democrats are a more attractive target than the president. The NBC/WSJ poll shows only 16 percent with positive feelings toward Majority Leader Harry Reid and 28 percent with negative feelings. Fully 36 percent have no view, significantly more than the 22 percent with no view about Boehner. That leaves plenty of room to drive Reid’s negatives up. The nobudget, no-pay provision is perhaps a gimmick, but may strike a chord with voters. And it may help unite the 234 House Republicans, 43 percent of whom were first elected in 2010 or are freshmen first elected in 2012. Most share the views and impulses

of the tea party movement and are determined to cut government spending. The tea party movement, like the peace movement four decades before, injected many new people into an old party. Tea party voters, like peacenik voters, tend to prefer the purest candidates in primaries, and tea party congressmen, like peacenik congressmen, tend to take confrontational and purist stands on issues. But just as peacenik Democrats learned that the public will not tolerate cutting off defense spending when troops are in the field, so tea party Republicans seem to be learning that the public won’t tolerate defaulting on the national debt. They feel quite differently about spending cuts. A poll by the Republican Tarrance Group for the Public Notice showed 74 percent agreeing that the federal government spends too much and rejecting Obama’s notion that “we don’t have a spending problem.” House Republicans are learning they can’t govern from just one house of Congress. But they can shine the spotlight on Senate and White House Democrats’ inability or unwillingness to govern.

Last week’s report about rising poverty in Illinois pulled no punches. “Shocking” is the word used by one official to describe the situation. Fully one-third of Illinois residents live in or near poverty, according to the Social IMPACT Research Center in Chicago. That number compares to 28 percent who lived in or near poverty in 2007, when the Great Recession began. Amy Terpstra, the center’s associate director, put it this way: “It really is kind of shocking that a full third of the state is struggling.” Although the recession officially ended in June 2009, its devastating economic impact has not abated as rapidly as in previous recoveries. The number of food stamp recipients has increased by 41 percent since 2009. Households served by Illinois’ emergency food program have increased from 2.27 million in fiscal year 2009 to almost 3 million last year. When the economy fails to generate enough goodpaying jobs, that’s what happens. Economists consider full employment to be in the range of 4 percent to 5 percent unemployment, but Illinois’ jobless rate stood at 8.7 percent in December. Illinois’ economic fate is tied to the national economy, but that should not stop actions that can improve the likelihood of better days ahead. For example, state government needs to do all it can to improve the business climate and create better conditions for private sector hiring. The ongoing public pension crisis hinders Illinois’ ability to respond to the needs of the poor. Politicians’ delays on pension reform make matters worse. This problem must be solved soon. Government needs to hold the line on spending so as not to increase the burden of taxation on hard-hit Illinoisans. Schools must ensure that their course offerings are relevant to the 21st century. They must improve high school graduation rates to give more young people a better chance in the real world. The public needs to fully embrace the concept of lifelong learning and training for new careers. The days of staying at one company your entire career have slipped away. Economic development agencies and their projects have the potential to improve the local economy. They deserve public support. Continued generosity toward charitable organizations, including food pantries, is another way for the public to contribute. Poverty is a tough nut to crack. Society’s focus must not stray from striving to eliminate poverty and helping those it victimizes.

Dodd, Frank helped cause economic crisis

The American dream of homeownership was never intended for everyone. One hundred years ago, fewer than half of U.S. households owned their home. By 1980, the ownership rate was up to 65.6 percent, and for the next 17 years, it fluctuated between 63.8 percent and 65.7 percent. That was all the market would bear because not everyone has the wherewithal to own a home, and banks refused to write mortgages unless applicants put up a substantial down payment and proved their ability to repay. While banks operated under sensible rules, delinquency and foreclosure rates were confined to low, narrow ranges: 3.1 percent to 5.8 percent for delinquencies and 0.33 percent to 3.7 percent for foreclosures, according to census data. Late in the Clinton administration, however, thenSen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., and then-Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., fronted a conspiracy by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Office of Management and Budget to exploit Jimmy Carter’s Community Development Act. Under the threat of civil litigation and criminal charges, lenders were forced to meet mortgage quotas, the untenable risks they were taking be (darned). By 2004, the U.S. ownership rate soared to 69 percent because lenders, spurred by political corruption on Capitol Hill and backed by the full faith and credit of the federal government via Fannie and Freddie. Once the economy began to tank, however, delinquency and foreclosure rates skyrocketed, peaking in 2010 at 11 percent and 4 percent, respectively. In the past six years, millions of Americans have lost their homes to foreclosure, and tens of millions now owe more on their mortgages than their homes are worth. After the financial crisis, Congress assigned thenSen. Dodd and Rep. Frank, as heads of the Senate and House banking committees, to write sweeping banking-system reforms. Among other things, the DoddFrank bill created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which spent the past 18 months ostensibly overhauling the lending industry. Announced last week and scheduled to go into effect Jan. 1, 2014, the bureau’s new rules mirror those that lenders adopted in the aftermath of the mortgage meltdown. With some exceptions, the rules are in line with those that were in effect before Dodd, Frank and other government officials tried in vain to override basic economic laws through market manipulation and political corruption. They could have saved Americans a lot of grief and debt if they’d left well enough alone.

Tuesday, January 22, 2013 • Page A7 from page 1 2nd term brings 3 priorities for Obama GOP official doubts parties can work together

Daily Chronicle / Daily-Chronicle.com

Never fear, Republicans seemed to say in response. They will press the overspending issue time and again, starting this week in the GOP-controlled House. And the outcome of the two parties’ long-running conflict will help shape the government’s role in coming years, not to mention Obama’s legacy. All presidents want to drive the national agenda. Inauguration Day is their moment to lay out their visions. As Obama rudely learned in his first term, however,

unforeseen events quickly intervene, and a president’s fate is to adjust, improvise and re-order priorities. After winning his first election with a call for greater unity and cooperation in Washington, Obama appeared to be taken aback by the ferocity of Republican resistance. It gave birth to the tea party in 2009, forced him to pass “Obamacare” without a single GOP vote, and fueled huge Democratic setbacks in the 2010 congressional elections. Last November’s election chastened Republicans a bit. But they still adamantly oppose the president’s tax-andspend policies. That poses

the central challenge to his hopes for an ambitious second-term agenda. Obama starts his second term facing three immediate priorities: restoring the economy’s health, overhauling immigration laws and reducing gun violence. He also vowed Monday to “respond to the threat of climate change.” That issue, however, seems likely to wait its turn. The president chose the timing and outlines of his immigration push, knowing that many Republicans desperately want to improve their own standing with Hispanic voters.

tremendously, but she commented that there’s still work to be done. “As we reach the young people ... they see no color. They see everybody the same,” Shered said. “We have to learn to look like the children. We have to speak with the mind of a child sometimes. We need to be the beloved community, because God loves all of us.” The politics of the day were touched upon in the service. Monday saw the second

inauguration of President Barack Obama – the country’s first black president. Joe Mitchell, a co-pastor at New Hope, said he was touched by the sight of his son intently watching Obama’s inauguration speech. “The roads Martin Luther King Jr., laid out many, many years ago have been realized by Barack Obama,” Mitchell said. Mitchell echoed King’s words when he said that if his son also decided to run for office, “he will not be judged by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character.” Gun violence and the is-

sue of gun control were also featured. In one of her speeches to the assembled crowd, Baron-Jeffrey said the people do not have to wait for politicians to enact gun legislation or change the culture of violence. The people, she said, can do it themselves. As the majority of people attended the service in the church, Shered worked with Derek Gibbs and Alex Smith of Feed ‘Em Soup to prepare food that was free and available to everyone after the service. “The food, that brings everybody together,” Shered said. “It’s a common denominator for all people.

• INAUGURATION

Continued from page A1 Mark Pietrowski Jr., who was with Sherrod and other county Democrats at the party’s inauguration celebration Monday, said he was optimistic about the next four years and believed more bipartisanship was possible. He said Obama delivered a clear vision in his speech and believed the country was ready to embrace his “forward thinking” policies. “There is still going to be a divide for sure, but I think we’ll see more people working together,” said Pietrowski, chairman of the DeKalb County Democrats. “I think we all have a high sense of optimism right now.” Not everyone believed a new term would translate to a new dynamic in Washington. Steve Kuhn, chairman of the DeKalb County Republicans, said speeches about change have not led to the changes the country needs. Until words are put into action, Kuhn said it is hard to think the change will come. “I would hope the parties would learn to cooperate, but I wouldn’t bet on it,” Kuhn said. “They need to make some hard decisions and get spending under control.” While many watched the inauguration from home, Sandwich High School band

The students, who left Thursday for Washington to perform at a WorldStrides Heritage Performance event, toured historical sites throughout the weekend and attended the president’s speech Monday. Director Justin Heinekamp said while he was proud the band took first place in its class at Friday’s event, the chance to witness an inauguration and visit national monuments was the true highlight. “We always tell the kids music can open doors and this proved that,” he said. “We got to see the inauguration live and visit all these cool sites, all because we were invited to

perform.” The band had performed in Washington at the same event for previous inaugurations, but for seniors Monica Thomas and McKenzie Sauer it was an experience of a lifetime. Both students said the 13-hour bus ride, cold weather and massive crowds were worth the chance to see a presidential speech. Thomas said she hopes her group carried on the tradition previous Sandwich High School bands set of securing future invitations to the event for future generations. “It was amazing to watch [the inauguration] live,” Thomas said. “It was a oncein-a-lifetime chance that most people don’t get. They’re memories I’ll have forever.”

Maloofs agree to sell Kings to Seattle group

The only thing stopping the Sacramento Kings from a sale and move to Seattle is approval by NBA owners. The Maloof family has agreed to sell the Kings to a Seattle group led by investor Chris Hansen, the league confirmed in a statement Monday morning. The deal is still pending a vote by the NBA Board of Governors. A person familiar with the decision said that Hansen’s group will buy 65 percent of the franchise, which is valued at a total price of $525 million, and move the team to Seattle and restore the SuperSonics name. The deal will cost the Hansen group a little more than $340 million. The Maloofs will have no stake in the team. The person spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because the deal was waiting approval. The sale figure works off a total valuation of the franchise, which includes relocation fees. Hansen’s group also is hoping to buy out other minority investors. The Maloofs will get a $30 million non-refundable down payment by Feb. 1, according to the deal, the person said. They will still be allowed to receive other offers until the league approves the sale. The plan by Hansen’s group is to have the team play at least the next two seasons in KeyArena before moving into a new facility in downtown Seattle. The deadline for teams to apply for a move for next season is March 1. – Wire report

Super QBs put spotlight on Cutler

Tom Brady is out. Peyton Manning is out. Drew Brees has been out for a while. Joe Flacco is in. So is Colin Kaepernick. When it comes to NFL quarterbacks, are we witnessing a changing of the guard? If so, where does Jay Cutler fit? A pair of first-time Super Bowl quarterbacks will square off 12 days from now in front of 70,000-plus fans in New Orleans and tens of millions watching on television.

VIEWS Tom Musick It doesn’t take a Harbaugh to realize that it will be the biggest game of their careers. While many of us will binge on food and pay extra attention to commercials Feb. 3, Flacco and Kaepernick will fight to join Brady, Brees, the Manning brothers, Aaron Rodgers

and a few others as quarterbacks who have won a title during this century. Side note: Yes, dozens of other players on both teams also will affect the outcome. But no position in team sports is more important than quarterback. Period. Flacco will wear No. 5 for the Ravens. Kaepernick will wear No. 7 for the 49ers. Perhaps this is a good time to bring up No. 6 for the Bears. If a guy from Delaware and a guy from Nevada can compete for a Super

Bowl ring, surely a guy from Vanderbilt should be qualified to do the same. We could spend all day debating whether Cutler is the quarterback who will lead the Bears to their first Super Bowl title in almost three decades. Count me among the skeptics. But excellence absolutely is possible, and Cutler will receive every chance to succeed as he pilots the Bears’ offense for at least one more season.

Sycamore sophomore Bailey Gilbert hustles to the basket to recover her ball during a shooting drill at Wednesday’s practice in Sycamore.

Sophomore guard Gilbert a leader for Sycamore By STEVE NITZ

snitz@shawmedia.com

YCAMORE – A year ago, Sycamore’s sophomore Bailey Gilbert was able to sit back and learn. Getting the rare opportunity to play on the varsity level as a freshman, Gilbert had the chance to watch and compete with Lake Kwaza, a Daily Chronicle first team all-area point guard, and follow the rest of the Spartans’ seniors. Gilbert had the chance to guard the quick, intense Kwaza in practice, getting to know what she needed to do to get better on defense.

More online For all your prep sports coverage – stories, features, scores, photos, videos and more – log on to Daily-Chronicle.com/dcpreps.

This year, on a team that features just one senior and starts two freshmen, Gilbert is the team’s leading scorer, the Spartans’ go-to player, and someone who is expected to be one of

the team’s leaders. Second-year Sycamore coach Brett Goff said he doesn’t even think of Gilbert as a sophomore, and talked about how much Gilbert’s overall play has improved. She can score, leads the team in free-throw attempts and is often going against the opposing team’s best player. “Last year, as coaches we were just content with her being out there, being an outside threat, being our main 3-point shooter,” Goff said. “But this year, we really challenged her in the offseason, of making her overall game much better. She’s really doing a lot this year for us.”

Gilbert is someone who admits she’s more of a quiet, shy person. Both Goff and Gilbert say the sophomore is someone who leads by example. Goff mentioned how Gilbert is always going 100 percent in practice, and how the other girls on the team look up to her. In a way, Sycamore goes as Gilbert goes. “I just know that if I feel down, everybody else is feeling that way,” Gilbert said. “So, I just need to pick myself up, and pick everybody else up.”

SUPER BOWL XLVII: SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS VS. BALTIMORE RAVENS, FEB. 3, 5 P.M., CBS

Harbaughs ready for rematch at Super Bowl XLVII By JANIE McCAULEY The Associated Press

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – These days, Jack Harbaugh stays away from game-planning chatter or strategy sessions with his Super Bowlbound coaching sons. Baltimore’s John Harbaugh and little brother Jim of the San Francisco 49ers have been doing this long enough now to no longer need dad’s input. Yet, they still regularly seek it. And, their father does offer one basic mantra.” AP photo “Probably the greatest adBaltimore Ravens coach John Har- vice that I’ve ever been given baugh pumps his fist after the Ra- and the only advice that I’ve vens beat the San Diego Chargers, ever found to be true in all 16-13, in overtime Nov. 25. The Ra- of coaching, I think we menvens will face the San Francisco tioned it to both John and Jim ... the coaching advice is, ‘Get 49ers in Super Bowl XLVII.

ahead, stay ahead,’ ” Jack Harbaugh said. “If I’m called upon, I’ll repeat that same message.” His boys still call home regularly to check in with the man who turned both on to the coaching profession years ago, and the mother who has handled everything behind the scenes for decades in a highly competitive, sports-crazed family – with all the routine sports clichés to show for it. The Harbaugh brothers will become the first siblings to square off from opposite sidelines when their teams play for the NFL championship Feb. 3 at the New Orleans Superdome. John Harbaugh watched the end of Jim’s game from the field in Foxborough, Mass., as

Baltimore warmed up for the AFC Championship game. Jim called his sister’s family from the team plane before takeoff after a win at Atlanta and asked how his big brother’s team was doing against New England. The improbable Super Bowl that has quickly been nicknamed “Harbowl” or “Superbaugh” features a set of brothers known around the NFL as fierce competitors unafraid to make a bold move during the season. In fact, each one made a major change midseason to get this far – John fired his offensive coordinator, while Jim boosted his offense with a quarterback switch from Alex Smith to Colin Kaepernick.

Cougars first season as Cubs affiliate quickly approaching Furnaces supplanted hot stoves as primary warming sources long ago. Still, stoves burn with the energy of offseason baseball chatter, of which there was plenty during a brief Cubs Caravan visit to Fifth Third Bank Ballpark last week. The Cougars are set to open their first season as a Low-A Cubs affiliate on April 4, with a “Meet the Cubs” fan event scheduled Feb. 1. Here’s some kindling as those dates approach. Who knows, it might also help with this weather: • The Cougars added a pair of 5 p.m. Sunday starts as an attendance variable last season. When the twilight crowds – 5,159 on July 15 and 5,285 on July 29 – didn’t discern themselves, the club decided its usual Sunday starts were still the one in 2013. As in 1 p.m. “No real big reason, we just thought that a day game with the Sunday Funday [promotion] might make more sense getting the families out here,” Cougars general manager Curtis Haug said. “Plus, it probably makes more sense for the Cubs. It’s a day game as opposed to a night game.”

VIEWS Kevin Druley The Cougars have 11 Sunday home games scheduled, playing two each in April, May, June, July and August before former Cubs farmhand Peoria visits on the Sunday before Labor Day. • Cubs outfielder Tony Campana played only briefly in the Midwest League for then-Cubs affiliate Peoria in 2009. While his 18-game stint did not include a trip to Geneva, it also didn’t keep Campana from learning about the Cougars’ organization. “I heard It’s a nice field and they get people to come out,” Campana said. “That always makes it good when you’re a guy in A-ball.” At the point in Campana’s career, Kane County was about to conclude a long player development contract with the Oakland A’s. The Cougars traditionally have been a top MWL draw even when they were aligned with Baltimore, Florida, Oakland and Kansas City before the Cubs’ partner-

ship took root in September, inspiring fans and brass in both Geneva and Chicago. “When you have a place that’s close, I think you’ll get some more people coming out and get to see the future of what we’ve got in the organization,” Campana said. Even on the same day as a Cubs game. Apart from Sundays and occasional Ozzie’s Reading Club matinees in April and May, the Cougars begin most of their weekday games at 6:30 p.m.

Kaneland’s Drendel says it loud: New Kaneland boys

basketball announcer Andy Drendel once inspired the Knights’ student section as a player. As of Nov. 30, the 2005 Kaneland alumnus has helped ignite it with a microphone in his hand. That morning, Kaneland athletic secretary Linda Kelley emailed Drendel, a physical education teacher at McDole Elementary in Montgomery, about filling in for Ryan Malo, who had a conflict with night courses he was taking. Drendel spent much of his commute to Maple Park, as well as the sophomore

game, mumbling to himself and fretting. He didn’t yet realize his father – longtime Kaneland teacher and coach Ralph Drendel – had been a former announcer, and was racking his brain for nuggets from the high school speech course he took from English faculty member and football announcer Kurt Green. Close friend Ryan Gierke, a former teammate and Knights assistant, razzed his buddy and told him he’d be fine. Turns out Drendel did well enough to not only earn comparisons to his father, but receive the permanent announcing nod for the rest of the season. “I know I don’t have that Kurt Green voice, you know, but I just try to make sure I say everything correctly,” Drendel said. “I don’t want to sound like I don’t know what I’m doing, basically.” Drendel sometimes consults YouTube for ideas for standout “And-1” or 3-point calls.

Blackhawks acquire Karlsson from Calgary

CHICAGO – The Blackhawks have acquired goalie Henrik Karlsson from the Calgary Flames for a seventh-round draft pick in this year’s entry draft. The trade was announced Monday. The Hawks assigned Karlsson to the American Hockey League’s Rockford IceHogs. He appeared in 26 games with the Flames over the 2010-11 and 2011-12 seasons, posting a 5-9-8 record with a 2.79 goals-against average and a .905 save percentage. The Hawks had acquired that seventh-round pick from the Ottawa Senators for Rob Klinkhammer on Dec. 2, 2011.

Hononegah beat the DeKalb boys basketball team, 55-47, Monday at the Hononegah MLK Tournament, while Mundelein defeated the Barbs, 79-54. Jake Smith had 18 points against Hononegah, while Rudy Lopez and Andre Harris each finished with 12. “It’s a very competitive tournament. I thought we played very well at times,” DeKalb coach Dave Rohlman said. “I thought it was beneficial for us before we go back into the conference season. I thought Jake Smith had a very good tournament.”

Sycamore sophomore Bailey Gilbert (front) and junior Beth Slavens battle to rebound a ball shot by coach Brett Goff (background) on wednesday.

Gilbert named Spartans’ captain as sophomore • GIlBeRT Continued from page B1 Goff talked to Gilbert about taking on a new role before the season, and the sophomore ended up earning a spot as a team captain. Goff said that while Gilbert is more of the quiet type, the other players do notice when

she decides to speak up. “When she says something, the girls do listen because she doesn’t just talk to talk,” Goff said. Heading into her prep career, Gilbert said one of the challenges was just getting past the self-doubt any freshman would face on varsity, and just playing the game. She was a Daily Chronicle

honorable mention all-area selection last season, and has improved this year. One thing Goff talked about was her defense. Gilbert leads the team in steals and stays out of foul trouble. With two years of eligibility left, Goff said Gilbert has the chance to end her high school career with a number

of accomplishments. “It’s up to her. We’re going to be here for her to help guide the way as much as she wants to during the season, during the offseason,” Goff said. “She can be as good as she wants to be, if she can continue to work on the ballhandling, on the defensive end, get in the weight room, get stronger, get quicker.”

Cutler should have proper coaching with Trestman • mUSICK Continued from page B1 Whether Cutler knows it or not, his greatest hope for a championship ring is new head coach Marc Trestman, a quarterback guru who will challenge his latest project. For the past few seasons, Bears coaches on both sides of the ball have heaped praise on Cutler. But Trestman wisely stopped short of endorsing Cutler for a bust in Canton, Ohio. When asked specifically whether he considered Cutler to be a franchise quarterback, Trestman verbally scrambled out of the pocket. That is to say: Trestman didn’t answer yes, and he didn’t answer no. “Jay Cutler is a guy who loves football,” Trestman

By the numbers

Bears quarterback Jay Cutler did not enjoy as much success during the regular season as Joe Flacco of the Baltimore Ravens or Colin Kaepernick of the San Francisco 49ers. Cutler has one playoff win in seven NFL seasons. Player Joe Flacco Colin Kaepernick Jay Cutler

said. “Jay Cutler is a guy who’s willing to learn. Jay Cutler, to me, in my very short time with him, wants to do everything he can to help his franchise and please our amazing fans. “That’s where we’re going to start, and we’re going to work one day at a time in a proactive way with a sense of urgency to get him to be the guy that he wants to be and we want him to be.”

Bears general manager Phil Emery, who has described Cutler as a franchise quarterback on multiple occasions, liked Trestman’s reply even if it varied from his. “That’s OK,” Emery said. “He’s got to spend some time with him. “Part of the reason that Marc is our head football coach is he’s going to push the level of our players. He wants

Jay to earn that [designation] in his eyes. “That’s OK. I’m good with that.” The best way for Cutler to earn the love is to win when it matters most. With Trestman calling plays, Cutler should have the proper coaching. With another set of draft picks and free-agent signings, he should have a stronger supporting cast. In less than two weeks, another race will begin to become a Super Bowl quarterback. The door is wide open. Like Flacco and Kaepernick, Cutler is fully capable of walking through.

Ravens savor long-awaited return By DAVID GINSBURG The Associated Press

OWINGS MILLS, Md. – When the Baltimore Ravens last went to the Super Bowl, Art Modell was the owner, Brian Billick served as head coach and Trent Dilfer was the starting quarterback. Now, 12 years later, they’re back with owner Steve Bisciotti, coach John Harbaugh, QB Joe Flacco and one significant link to both teams: Ray Lewis. Drawing inspiration from Lewis, their long-time middle linebacker, the Ravens bullied their way past New England, 28-13, Sunday to win the AFC Championship and set up a matchup with the San Francisco 49ers. The victory ended a lengthy dry spell for a franchise with one Super Bowl appearance in its 17 years of existence. Lewis was voted Super Bowl MVP after the Ravens beat the New York Giants 34-7 on Jan. 28, 2001. He announced earlier this month that he would step into retirement after Baltimore completes its current playoff run, and his teammates were determined to make sure that didn’t happen before the Super Bowl. “Ray is a guy who’s been here since the beginning of this franchise,” strong safety Bernard Pollard said Monday. “He’s a guy who is The Raven. We respect him when he speaks. Everybody stops and everybody hears him. He’s kept this team together, he’s kept this organization together in so many ways.” Lewis knows what it takes to win. He knows about playing in the Super Bowl. Most

Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice (center) is surrounded by fans in the stands Sunday as he celebrates winning the AFC Championship against the New England Patriots in Foxborough, Mass. The Ravens won, 28-13, to advance to Super Bowl XLVII. of all, he knows how to get his teammates ready to play with unyielding intensity. “Everyone knows what kind of player he is and what he’s meant to this team and this organization,” center Matt Birk said. “There’s probably not another leader like him. There’s no one like him, somebody that means as much as he does to this team. Just everything he’s been through, being here since Day 1, and the way he plays and the emotion and the passion that he plays with. I’ve been his teammate for four years, and that’s how it’s always been.” Lewis got to the Super Bowl in his fifth season, then had to

wait until his 17th to get back. In between, Modell sold majority ownership of the team to Bisciotti in 2004 and Harbaugh replaced Billick, who was fired after the 2007 season. Harbaugh on Monday paid homage to Modell, who died in September, and voiced praise for the current owner. “Art Modell is the foundation, the bulwark of this organization,” Harbaugh said. “He and Steve come from the same place, kind of how they see things.” Dilfer, meanwhile, was released within months of his solid performance in the Super Bowl. He was replaced by Elvis Grbac, who played one

season before retiring. The Ravens then went through a halfdozen starting quarterbacks, including Anthony Wright, Chris Redman, Kyle Boller and Steve McNair, before drafting Flacco in the first round of the 2008 draft. Flacco took over as a rookie in the season opener and has started every game since. Onedayafterthrowingthree touchdown passes and outplaying New England quarterback Tom Brady, Flacco couldn’t fully comprehend the enormity of going to the Super Bowl. “I think we’re still on a little bit of a high from the game,” Flacco said. “I don’t know if anybody quite believes it yet, but it’s pretty real.”

Brothers to coach in first Super Bowl • BROTHERS Continued from page B1

Leading up to Sunday’s games, proud parents Jack and Jackie said they would wait to decide whether to travel to New Orleans if both teams made it or stick to what has been working so well – watching from their couch in Mequon, Wis. “We enjoy it very much. We get down in our basement, turn on the television and just have a fantastic day watching outstanding football,” Jack said last week. “We share our misery with no one but ourselves. Not only the misery, but the ups and downs, the ins and outs of an outstanding professional game.” And, no, the Harbaughs weren’t looking ahead to a potential big trip to the Big Easy. The brothers, separated in age by 15 months, have taken different paths to football’s biggest stage – years after their intense games of knee football at the family home. Jim never reached a Super Bowl, falling a last-gasp pass short during a 15-year NFL career as a quarterback. John never played in the NFL. “We talked to Jim (before) his team plane left. All he wanted to know was how was John doing? How were they playing?” their brother-in-law, Indiana basketball coach Tom Crean, said on Twitter. “One incredible family who puts the care, well-being and love for each other at the forefront like most families do. Again, we are very proud of them. Going to be exciting to watch it unfold.”

Nurse’s grief at patients’ loss felt by family

dear Abby: I would like to respond to “Still Grieving in Arkansas” (Nov. 20), who was upset he didn’t get a response to a note he sent to his wife’s treating physician after her death. As an RN, my mom had a tendency to become very close to patients who required long-term care in the hospital. It seemed she never had any “emotional detachment” from her patients, but instead formed an “emotional attachment.” I recall many times during the convalescence or death of these patients, Mom would come home from work and go to bed and cry from her own bereavement. As her son, I grieved, too, because it hurt me to see Mom hurting. As a young child, my father, siblings and I could have

deAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips done without these periods of unnecessary emotional pain. Therefore, Dear Abby, I think you were right to say, “Please forgive them” when doctors and nurses don’t exhibit public remorse during times of grief. – RN’s Son In Georgia dear RN’s son: Thank you for describing your mother’s response to a patient’s passing and how it affected the family. However, I also heard from many health care providers who said it IS their duty to acknowledge the passing of one of their patients, and it should be considered part of the healing process

for both the patient’s family and the health care provider. Read on: dear Abby: I am a hematologist-oncologist. I try to send a sympathy card to each family after the death of their relative. If I receive a note or a copy of an obituary, I try to call the person to thank them for taking the time to contact me. After seeing “Grieving’s” letter, I took an informal poll of my colleagues and was gratified that many DO send notes. I was surprised some do not extend sympathies. After hearing it, I encouraged them all to do so. It’s the least we can do to promote healing among the survivors. – Ohio Oncologist dear Abby: I am a retired medical oncologist. Early in my career, a grieving

patient’s husband berated me for not contacting the family after his wife died. It was then I realized that despite my excellent care, the family needed something more – closure. For 30 years, until I retired, I sent a personal sympathy card and message to each family concerning their loss. Sharing these thoughts also gave ME closure. – Doctor Jack In Arizona dear Abby: Please let “Grieving” know that one reason the health care professionals did not acknowledge his wife’s death may have been they were instructed by the hospital/treatment center not to. In this day and age, when doctors are sued for malpractice, these types of sympathy notes can be used in court. – Yvonne In Amster-

dam, Netherlands dear Abby: I am at an age when I have lost many family members. NOT ONCE has the doctor sent a condolence card or letter to any family member. On the other hand, I also have lost many pets. Each time, the veterinarian sent a card or note, personally signed and often with the signatures of the entire office staff. I do not believe medical doctors care less for their patients than veterinary doctors care for family pets, but that vets have made sending condolences part of their office protocol. Medical doctors might well consider adding that protocol to their practices. – Mary In Virginia • Write Dear Abby at www. DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Less-invasive heart surgery holds promise

dear dr. K: I have aortic valve regurgitation and need to have my aortic valve replaced. What will happen during this procedure? dear Reader: When it’s working properly, your aortic valve opens to allow oxygenrich blood to flow from your heart into your aorta and out to the rest of your body. The aorta is the body’s largest blood vessel. (I’ve put an illustration of how healthy heart valves work on my website, AskDoctorK.com.) Heart valves keep blood flowing in just one direction – the direction the heart wants to pump blood. Particularly when you’re sitting or standing up, gravity wants to pull blood back down into the heart

heart. Since your heart has stopped, you need a machine -- a heart-lung machine -- to get oxygen in your blood and pump it around the body. Once your heart is motionless, the surgeon will cut through its muscular wall. He or she will remove the malfunctioning heart valve, insert the prosthetic valve and stitch it into place. After closing the incision in your heart wall, the surgeon will warm your heart. Once your heart is pumping steadily without leaking blood, you will be disconnected from the heart-lung machine. The surgeon will reattach the halves of your breastbone and your chest incision will be closed.

For some patients, the heart surgeon can replace a heart valve through a smaller incision. New technologies allow artificial valves to be inserted into the heart without making even a small opening in the patient’s chest. Heart specialists are still gaining experience with these less-invasive approaches. There is little doubt that, because they involve cutting into fewer tissues, patients heal more quickly. However, it’s not yet clear if the longterm results of less-invasive types of surgery are as good as with traditional surgery.

Lauber in Southern California for one) and all agree that the dreaded teen complexion problems you mention are not caused by food intake. Dr. Alan Shalita, professor of dermatology at the State University of New York at Brooklyn, teaches that acne and other complexion problems are a natural part of maturing physically. He says that as teens mature, they start producing additional hormones that, in turn, increase the production of oil in the pores of the skin. This oil has nothing to do with the oil consumed on greasy French fries.

Complexion problems occur when the oil and dead skin cells turn into a plug that blocks the pore and pushes up the skin surface, creating a whitehead. A blackhead forms when the oil in a plug dries and mixes with pigment in the skin. A pimple or acne cyst occurs when bacteria normally present in the skin start multiplying and inflame the inside of the plugged pore. A pimple is the scourge of most teens. An American Medical Association survey found that 89 percent of teenage girls and 78 percent of teen boys worry about

complexion problems. At the onset of a complexion problem, a visit to a dermatologist is paramount. Modern treatment can do wonders to improve or eliminate this problem. The earlier the treatment begins, the easier it is for a teen to have a clear complexion. P.S.: Go easy on junk foods. Most are loaded with fats and calories.

Tricks, not laughs, from high and low

Lao-tzu, a Chinese philosopher who died in 531 B.C., said, “When the highest type of men hear Tao, they diligently practice it. When the average type of men hear Tao, they half believe in it. When the lowest type of men hear Tao, they laugh heartily at it. Without the laugh, there is no Tao.” This week we are looking at the defensive principle that if you lead a low card from length, you guarantee at least one honor in that suit. With a weak suit, you lead an unnecessarily high card. This is no laughing matter, but there is one situation when the rule should be ignored – when you are leading partner’s suit and you have not supported that suit. Then, giving length information is (usually) more important than strength information. This deal is a textbook example. North passes as dealer, East opens one heart, and South leaps majestically to four spades. If West leads the heart seven (top of nothing), East will think it is a singleton or high from a doubleton. He will win the first trick with the heart nine (low from touching cards when playing third hand high), take the heart ace, and try to cash the heart king. But South will ruff and run all of his trumps. There is no minor-suit squeeze, but declarer takes eight spades and two clubs. Instead, West should lead the heart two, low from length in partner’s unsupported suit. Then East, after taking two tricks in the suit, will know that West has the one extant heart. East will shift to the diamond two (low from an honor) and the defenders will take two tricks in that suit for down one.
