Nature Trail restoration underway Resident says public pressure was key in spurring effort By JILLIAN DUCHNOWSKI

jduchnowski@shawmedia.com

DeKALB – If you walk down the Nature Trail, you might see the yellow tags still on the hundreds of shrubs crews planted Thursday. The efforts represent much of the restoration that ComEd, the DeKalb Park District and the DeKalb County Forest Preserve have planned in response to the public outcry last year over ComEd clearing

taller trees from around the power lines. The 1.3-mile trail runs from North First Street near Timber Trail to Sycamore Road near Greenwood Acres Drive in DeKalb. “What we did [Thursday] is a sustainable plan,” DeKalb Park District Executive Director Cindy Capek said. “The plant material that was put in was selected to work with the transmission lines but also to beautify the Nature Trail.”

They plan to plant about 25 trees within the next week and plant prairie seed within the next month or so, Capek said. Crews will prepare the ground before planting the seed, but Capek expects it will take a few summers for the prairie to grow to full height. Two temporary signs explaining the restoration effort will be posted on the site. It was a collaborative effort. ComEd provided more

than 400 plants, as well as some of the labor and other materials. The DeKalb County Forest Preserve planted 110 more shrubs a couple of weeks ago on the Nature Trail near the Generation Link Trail; forest preserve leaders recently took control of about 1,000 feet of the Nature Trail. As crews maintain the prairie grass and remove invasive

dthomas@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – Cheryl Lienhard attends the National Day of Prayer every year, but she felt this year was very important. “Our nation has so many issues right now that only God can deal with,” Lienhard, of Sycamore, said. “It’s way too big for government. Only God can deal with our issues right now.” Lienhard was one of the many people who gathered Thursday on the lawn in front of the DeKalb County Courthouse to pray for the nation. The National Day of Prayer is held the first Thursday of May each year.

SPRINGFIELD – DeKalb-area lawmakers split on a plan approved Thursday that would tackle the $97 billion shortfall in the state’s retirement system by increasing employee contributions and decreasing benefits, the first victory for across-the-board pension reform in four years of debate. Shepherded by House Speaker Michael Madigan, the House voted, 62-51, in favor of a plan he says would reduce pension liability by $30 billion and fully fund the systems by 2044 for state employees, university workers and school teachers. “This obviously does not meet every request. This obviously does not make everyone happy,” Madigan, a Chicago Democrat, said during more than an hour of floor debate. “We’re all familiar with the severe fiscal problem of the state and the fiscal problems of the pension systems are a large part of that problem.” Rep. Robert Pritchard, R-Hinckley, voted against Senate Bill 1 because not all of the interested parties signed off on the proposal. He said it would set up a challenge in the courts. “We are going in the right direction, but all of that is going to be for naught if it’s tied up in court if we don’t address some of these issues,” Pritchard said. Rep. Tom Demmer, R-Dixon, voted yes, adding that he felt the courts would find their efforts to be constitutional.

That bell is tolling again at NIU What’s happening at Northern Illinois University today? Nothing. Well, not really nothing. NIU employees will have a mostly normal day (research, paperwork, maintenance, service, grading, etc.), but classes aren’t in session. Today is “Reading Day” at NIU. No classes are scheduled in hopes that students spend the day … um, reading … to prepare for final exams, which begin next week. Speaking of finals, if you live anywhere near NIU, please be especially attentive and wary next week. Thousands of sleep-deprived, malnourished, inattentive, overstimulated people will drive and walk the streets. Think Zombie Apocalypse without the flesh eating. You do NOT want to encounter these people. Reading Day is an upbeat euphemism for “Dead Day,” the end of “Dead Week,” in which colleges and universities in theory relax assignments, projects and tests. Fun fact: Google thinks a search about Dead Day is really a search about Day of the Dead, the celebration of dearly departed relatives and friends that’s popular throughout Latin America. Anyway, the reason teachers should chill is to give students time and space to prepare for finals. Until a few decades ago, many colleges really did observe Dead Day/

THE FINE LINE Jason Akst Week, but it wasn’t a vacation. Classes, notes and reviews occurred; people learned. The learning was purposeful, more reflective, slower and less painful. Nowadays (if the Internet is any indication), what happens is that far from chilling, faculty members are serving extra helpings of papers, projects and tests. We do this because we’re sadists, bad planners and as foreplay to the big event – finals – next week. Mwa ha ha ha ha! Urbandictionary.com, an online source of satirical but often useful information, offers this about dead week: “A weeklong holiday in which the university try [sic] to juke students in to believing its [sic] a concentrated study period, when actually its [sic] a time for professors to give out as many exams as they can; also known as the week holiday [sic] professors enjoy to sit back, laugh & torment students ... modern-day name: ‘Professor bullyism.’ ” Hopefully, you realize much of this is overblown. I’m not empowered to speak for my colleagues, but like any workplace, we chat, and I can certainly speak for myself. Here’s a more accurate look of the last week of classes and finals:

CHICAGO – John Rung was named president of Shaw Media and elected to its Board of Directors at the company’s annual meeting Thursday. Rung, 50, was previously Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Shaw Media. He will continue to serve as Publisher of the Northwest Herald, Shaw’s flagship publication in Crystal Lake. The Daily Chronicle is owned by Shaw Media. The company publishes more than 80 print and online titles in Illinois and Iowa. The appointment of Rung to be the first person from outside the family to serve as president of Shaw Media is an

important milestone, said Tom Shaw, CEO of Shaw Media. “John has demonstrated the ability to thrive in a highly successful, professionally managed family-company environment,” Shaw said. “We believe that our unique business and family legacy will be in capable hands.” Rung has been with the company 16 years and has served in a variJohn Rung ety of management roles. As president, he will be the principal operating officer of the company, responsible for all of its operating activities. Shaw, 65, has been with the company 43 years, and is a fifth-generation

Continued from page A1 “When we are faced with a real situation of having a limited number of dollars ... we have to make choices,” Demmer said. “No one entity can remain untouched in a time of significant budget pressures.” The plan largely resembles a blueprint negotiated by Democratic Rep. Elaine Nekritz and House Republican Leader Tom Cross. But Madigan put some zing into the debate by introducing his language, pushing it through a committee vote over labor leaders’ objections and ushering it off the House floor, all in about 48 hours. Years of underfunding by past governors and General Assemblies led to a pileup of debt in five public-employee pension accounts, which now are nearly $100 billion short of what they need to cover all current and retired workers. At its base, the plan requires employees to pay 2 percent more of their salaries toward pensions and reins in cost-of-living increases, tying it not to the pension they earn each year but to a cap $1,000 for each year of service. Pensions may be paid on a total salary of $110,000, a limit that increases by half the rate of inflation each year and retirement is delayed for people ages 45 or younger.

Speaker of the House Michael Madigan, D-Chicago, speaks to lawmakers Thursday while on the House floor during session at the State Capitol in Springfield. No one argued it was an easy vote, but it was historic, Nekritz said, both in terms of its breadth and its message. “We are putting necessity ahead of political expediency and doing the right thing over the easy thing,” the Northbrook Democrat said. While agreeing to some of the provisions, Pritchard was opposed to not having judges be a part of the reform effort. A number of pension reform

• The syllabi faculty are required to disseminate the first week of classes are legal documents that clearly specify what’s required, when it’s due and how grades are calculated. If they read syllabi, students know what’s coming nearly every day. Many assignments can be accomplished without penalty in advance. • Since we’ve been to college, we realize finals and final projects can be very stressful. • We also realize finals are questionable measurements of a student’s intellect and ability. So why do it? No one ever accused me of being deficient in cynicism, but whenever I hear that colleges should be run more like businesses, my first reaction is that that mindset is one of the main things wrong with colleges. The main point of a college education now is to help get students a job. It’s preparation for a culture of work in which short-term profits are valued more than long-term quality, where projects, meetings and priorities unfold at crushing speed and often without legitimacy, where people at the top get ridiculous paychecks while the wages of those in the trenches remain flat, and so on. See the parallels?

bills have left out judicial pensions out of fear that judges would rule the law unconstitutional. Pritchard, who represents Northern Illinois University in the House, said the pension cap on salaries of $110,000 will be a burden to universities trying to attract new talent. Employee unions main complaint about “reform” has been that pension contributions have continued to come out of individual worker paychecks without fail. “If I’m a state worker, if I’m a teacher, a university worker, I have every right to be mad. ... I’ve done everything you’ve asked me to, dutifully ... with every expectation that what I was promised when I started was going to be there ... ,” Cross said. “We have no choice. We have to move forward today.” The state will owe about $6 billion for pensions next year, but no one plans to build in any savings even if the bill becomes law because they expect a lawsuit over the plan’s constitutionality. The bill now returns to the Senate, which will have to agree with the House’s changes before it heads to Gov. Pat Quinn’s desk. Senate President John Cullerton has repeatedly insisted that any pension reform plan be constitutional. His original S.B. 1 offered state employees a choice between cost-of-living increase or subsidized health care.

SANTA ROSA, Calif. – A Northern California couple might be able to blame this one on the dog. Authorities say sun refracted off the dog’s shiny water bowl and ignited a fire at Terry and Shay Weisbrich’s Santa Rosa home Wednesday afternoon. The fire was quickly put out, but it left a hole in the siding. The Press Democrat of Santa Rosa reported that a fire department engineer helped discover the dog bowl’s role in the fire. Rene Torres returned the bowl to its original position during his investigation of the fire’s cause. He found it concentrated light right on the area of the home that was charred. The Press Democrat says the couple’s dog, Toby, had a replacement bowl by the evening.

G-K middle schoolers celebrate medieval times By STEPHANIE HICKMAN shickman@shawmedia.com

GENOA – The teachers at Genoa-Kingston Middle School usually don’t condone a room full of shouting students. But loud cheers echoed throughout the school gym Thursday as about 150 sixth-graders cheered on their classmates in a series of medieval-themed competitions. “We really get into this,” sixth-grade teacher Ruth Olle shouted over the students’ chants. “We’re very competitive.” The activities were part of the school’s annual medieval fair, a celebration after

a month of studying the culture and history of the Middle Ages in the students’ social studies classes. The students were divided into six kingdoms – with names such as Purple Pegasus, Dark Overlords and Medieval Maniacs – and faced off in a tournament. Events included competitions representative of the era, such as log toss, three-legged races, a tug-of-war, a jester relay and a dress-up relay. Social studies teacher Clayton Johnsen said the medieval fair is part of an interdisciplinary unit that teaches the students more than what they can learn in a textbook. The children channeled their creativity by making a banner for their respective

Genoa-Kingston Middle School sixth-graders, Stephanie Cook (from front), Anna Hansen, Brianna Popyk, Dalton Peters, Derek Schlenker and Wyatt Flint compete in a jester relay race Thursday at their annual medieval fair.

kingdoms and building catapults in math class. The friendly competitions teach the students teamwork and sportsmanship, Johnsen said. Many students, including Rachel Younker, were confident their kingdoms would emerge victorious in Thursday’s tournament. “I think we have a really good team,” Younker said. “We’re all athletic and try hard at everything we do.” The winning class received bragging rights and a small trophy that travels among the classrooms every year. “Right now, it’s in [Mrs. Olle’s] room,” Johnsen said. “So we’re all trying to get it back from her.”

‘Senior Prom’ draws crowd at Heritage Woods NIU students recruited for dance By CURTIS CLEGG

cclegg@shawmedia.com

Curtis Clegg – cclegg@shawmedia.com

Lifelong DeKalb resident Florence Kuzan, 93, dances with Northern Illinois University freshman Garrett Aiken on Thursday at the “Senior Prom” at Heritage Woods in DeKalb. Aiken is the philanthropy chairman for his fraternity, Alpha Kappa Lambda, and he and six of his fraternity brothers spent the evening dancing with the women at Heritage Woods.

DeKALB – The first “Senior Prom” at Heritage Woods of DeKalb assisted living community brought about 50 residents to the community room and helped foster some new relationships and strengthen old ones. “I met her after the war, World War II,” said resident Robert Jorgensen about his wife, Irene, as the couple listened to the music and watched people dance. The couple has been married for 66 years and live at Heritage Woods together. “He is singing songs from the ’40s and ’50s,” Jorgensen said about the nostalgic songs that were performed by crooner Larry Breidenbach of McHenry. Henry Joesten and his wife Beverly, also residents of Heritage Woods, have been married for 67 years. While the Jorgensens and Beverly Joesten did not dance, Henry Joesten took to the dance floor with some of the younger attendees, including Northern Illinois University graduate student Liz McAllister and Paige Lee, 16, who is the daughter of the facility’s residential service coordinator, Julie Krueger. “It’s to have fun and to bring back old memories,” Krueger said about the prom.

“They really get into the music.” Joesten was one of the few male residents of Heritage Woods who dances at the various social events at the facility, so Krueger has recruited volunteers from NIU to dance with the women who live there. “I heard about this [senior prom] after the Sweetheart Dance and I wanted to come back,” said NIU freshman Garrett Aiken about another dance in February. He was one of seven members of the Alpha Kappa Lambda fraternity who volunteered to dance with the women. “They can dance,” said Aiken, the fraternity’s philanthropy chairman, about the women at Heritage Woods. “They can outdance us and they showed us the moves.” However, Aiken and his friends do manage to keep the ladies of Heritage Woods on their toes. At the Sweetheart Dance in February, they taught the ladies to do the Chicken Dance, and at the Senior Prom they demonstrated the YMCA dance. Inez Wilton, 90, enjoyed every minute of the evening chatting with friends, listening to music and watching the others dance. “I don’t feel old and I don’t act old, but I guess I should,” she said.

Prayers also said for local school districts, military • PRAY

Continued from page A1

The religious leaders who led the event on the courthouse lawn asked people to join them in praying for local, state, and national leaders. Prayers also were said for local school districts, the nation’s military, and those were sick and hurting in the county. The Rev. Steve Persson, of the First Baptist Church in Sycamore, led the public prayer for the country as a whole. “It seems as though the nation needs a prophetic voice,” Persson said in an interview, stating that the Constitution provides for the organs of government, but not the morality. “But there’s a missing dynamic often in nations, a prophetic voice. It’s the voice of the religious, the church. This is our way of exposing that need.” The event closed with a crowd rendition of “God Bless America,” the message of which was embodied in many of Thursday’s prayers. “We recognize that God has blessed our nation, and we need to be dependent upon him for further blessing and renewal because of all the challenges we’re facing,” Persson said. “We need to seek God for that.” Lienhard said she believed the American people as a whole, have turned away from God. She said from a biblical standpoint, a country will not last long without God. “We all need to turn back to God,” Lienhard said. Nathan Somers, a DeKalb

“Whether you’re a Christian or not, when you turn away from those godly principles it was founded under, we become like other nations. America is not the greatest country in the world because it’s like other nations.” Beth Harbecke, of Sycamore resident who attended Thursday’s prayer with his family, expressed similar sentiments. He said the country’s biggest issue is its pride, and the lack of Christianity in the public space has led to that pride. In his words, “faith should be everything.” “Every decision ... every conversation, Christ should be a part of it,” Somers said. “There should be no private

life and no separate public life. Otherwise, you’re lying.” Sycamore resident Beth Harbecke said she was very appreciative of the city’s leaders, which is part of the reason why she attended Thursday’s prayer. Harbecke said she prayed for the country in general, feeling that America’s standards have been lowered. “I am very pro-building

our nation under principles our nation was founded on, which is a nation under God,” Harbecke said. She added that no one has the right to impose faith on individuals, but the country has a whole needs to maintain its principles. “Whether you’re a Christian or not, when you turn away from those godly principles it was founded under, we become like other nations,” Harbecke said. “America is not the greatest country in the world because it’s like other nations.”

Is antibacterial soap really safe?

Regulators question ingredient By MATTHEW PERRONE The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – It’s a chemical that’s been in U.S. households for more than 40 years, from the body wash in your bathroom shower to the knives on your kitchen counter to the bedding in your baby’s basinet. But federal health regulators are just now deciding whether triclosan – the germ-killing ingredient found in an estimated 75 percent of antibacterial liquid soaps and body washes sold in the U.S. – is ineffective, or worse, harmful. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is planning to deliver a review this year of whether triclosan is safe. The ruling, which will determine whether triclosan continues to be used in household cleaners, could have implications for a $1 billion industry that includes hundreds of antibacterial products from toothpaste to toys. The agency’s review comes amid growing pressure from lawmakers, consumer advocates and others who are concerned about the safety of triclosan. Recent studies of triclosan in animals have led scientists to worry that it could increase the risk of infertility, early puberty and other hormone-related problems in humans. “To me it looks like the risks outweigh any benefit associated with these products right now,” said Allison Aiello, professor at the University of Michigan’s School of Public Health. “At this point, it’s just looking like a superfluous chemical.” The concerns over triclosan offer a sobering glimpse at a little-known fact: Many chemicals used in everyday household products have never been formally approved by U.S. health regulators. That’s because many germ-killing chemicals were developed decades ago before there were laws requiring scientific review of cleaning ingredients. The controversy also highlights how long it can take the federal government to review the safety of such chemicals.

It’s not uncommon for the process to drag on for years, since regulators must review volumes of research and take comments from the public on each draft. In the case of triclosan, Congress passed a law in 1972 requiring that the FDA set guidelines for dozens of common antibacterial chemicals found in over-the-counter soaps and scrubs. The guidelines function like a cookbook for manufacturers, detailing which chemicals can be used in what products, and in what amounts. In 1978, the FDA published its first tentative guidelines for chemicals used in liquid hand soaps and washes. The draft stated that triclosan was “not generally recognized as safe and effective,” because regulators could not find enough scientific research demonstrating its safety and effectiveness. The FDA published several drafts of the guidelines over the years, but the agency never finalized the results. So, companies have not had to remove triclosan from their products. Meanwhile, the agency did approve triclosan for use in Colgate’s Total toothpaste in 1997, after Colgate-Palmolive Co. submitted data showing that the ingredient helped fight gingivitis. Then, last summer, the FDA said its review of triclosan would be complete by late 2012. That target date then slipped to February, which has also come and gone. But pressure on the agency from outside critics didn’t let up. Now, four decades after it was charged with reviewing triclosan, the FDA is planning to complete its review. FDA spokeswoman Stephanie Yao said evaluating triclosan and other antibacterial agents is “one of the highest priorities” for the agency, but did not offer an explanation for the delay. The FDA’s website currently states that “the agency does not have evidence that triclosan in antibacterial soaps and body washes provides any benefit over washing with regular soap and water.”

Judge releases man charged with terror By MICHAEL TARM The Associated Press

CHICAGO – In a rare move for terror cases, a federal judge agreed Thursday to release on home confinement an Illinois teenager charged with trying to join an al-Qaida-linked militant group in war-torn Syria. Abdella Ahmad Tounisi, 18, of Aurora, arrested in an FBI sting last month at O’Hare International Airport as he allegedly prepared for the first leg of a trip to join the al-Qaida-affiliated group fighting Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime. Tounisi also spoke with a friend of his last year about bombing targets in Chicago, prosecutors say. He is not charged in that case, though the friend, Adel Daoud, was and is in jail awaiting trial. After announcing his surprise ruling, the otherwise soft-spoken U.S. magistrate judge leaned forward on his bench Thursday and raised his voice, telling the teenager he should take the allegations seriously. “This is no game, Mr. Tounisi. OK?” Judge Daniel Martin told him. The slight, short Tounisi stood before the judge in orange jail garb and slippers, flanked by U.S. marshals. About 30 friends and relatives sat on spectator benches; several cried after the judge ruled. After ruling, the judge stayed his own order for 24 hours to give prosecutors a

chance to appeal, which they announced later Thursday they would do. A hearing in the matter was set for today. Prosecutor William Ridgway had argued that Tounisi posed a threat to the community, saying he sought to hook up with the al-Qaidalinked group in Syria even after his friend Daoud’s arrest. “One would think that would be a wake-up call,” Ridgway said about the arrest. “But it didn’t deter him.” Tounisi persisted even as family and friends warned him not to get involved with extremists, Ridgway said. He quoted a friend as saying about Tounisi in a wiretap, “He will not die a martyr. He will die like road kill.” The prosecutor said Tounisi also is a flight risk, noting how he had managed to secure a U.S. passport on short notice and to scrape together money for a plane ticket. “He’s very resourceful,” Ridgway told the judge. But Tounisi’s attorney, Molly Armour, said Tounisi came from a caring home and had no prior criminal record. She also said a terrorist-related charge shouldn’t automatically deny release. “The word ‘terrorism’ is a word that tends to taint everything,” she told the court. She also gestured to the back of the courtroom, where dozens of members of his community sat, assuring the judge they would also watch over Tounisi and see that he stays out of trouble.

Continued from page A1 species, they also will remove as many as 75 dead trees, most of them ash trees and some of them infested with emerald ash borer, according to the plan. The plan was developed by a special committee of ComEd, park district, and forest preserve district representatives, as well as two local residents. Jane Levinsky, who has lived along the trail for the past 33 years, was one of the residents’ representatives. She said she wished the final plan had included more trees and didn’t feel other committee members always valued the residents’ input. But Levinsky figures the public outcry and the resulting process showed park board members the Nature Trail is valued and well used and forced ComEd to invest more money in the restoration.

8LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Superintendent’s raise seems out of line

To the Editor: And the purpose of school is? After reading the article of “Students: Retain D-424 Teachers,” in the April 23, 2013, edition of the Daily Chronicle, it seems that it is more important to give District 424 Superintendent Joe Burgess a sizeable increase to his salary and his insurance (for his entire family), than it is to retain teachers, numerous support staff and freshman sports. After all his current salary is not too shabby and definitely not in the poverty level of income. How can the leader of a school district that is having budget difficulties consciously accept a six-percent increase for three consecutive years? Yes, it was offered to him by the school board in the month of December which also is questionable. Why would they make such an offer in December when

In the wake of another factory fire: Calling all women

For many years, the Philadelphia Female Anti-Slavery Society held an annual fair that sold only goods that weren’t made by slaves. Starting in 1853, the fair was a popular weeklong event stocked with items sewed by society members and donated by anti-slavery women in the U.S. and England. The organizers, a racially mixed group of female abolitionists, raised money to fund abolitionist efforts and anti-slavery newspapers. The fair was a high-profile effort to sway public opinion, as masterfully chronicled by Carol Faulkner’s book “Lucretia Mott’s Heresy.” Faulkner describes how Mott, an abolitionist and women’s rights activist, championed the fair’s influence far beyond its commercial success: “Like her anti-slavery sisters in Boston, Mott viewed the fairs as a way of awakening moral sensibilities. She described the fairs, and the funds they raised, as ‘a means of spreading the truth, which is our only reliance and hope, and in which we have full confidence to bring in the millennial day of liberty and brotherhood.’ ” If there is to be justice for the tens of thousands of low-paid garment workers in Bangladesh risking their lives to make the clothing on our backs, we must launch a modern-day women’s abolitionist movement here. These workers toil in slave conditions, and they are dying. On April 24, a factory fire outside Dhaka, Bangladesh, killed more than 400 people and injured at least 1,000 more. Most of the dead workers were women. The day before the fire, workers reported a large crack in the building at the Rana Plaza. A bank on the second floor told its workers to stay home, but the five garment factories in the complex remained open. This is not the first time garment workers have died on the job in Bangladesh. The International Labor Rights Forum calculates

VIEWS Connie Schultz that more than 900 workers have died in factory fires and collapsed buildings in Bangladesh since 2005. In November, a fire killed more than 100 workers in a factory that was producing clothes for Wal-Mart, Disney and other Western companies. Factory exits were locked and bolted, and some workers leapt to their deaths. Efforts to unionize workers in the hostile climate of Bangladesh have been largely futile – and often dangerous. Last year, labor rights activist Aminul Islam was tortured and murdered. Workers advocates have tried to fill the void of government action. The International Labor Rights Forum and labor groups have drafted the “Bangladesh Fire and Building Safety Agreement,” which would create a rigorous system of independent inspections funded by participating companies. It also would allow workers to refuse to work in dangerous conditions without fear of being fired. Four big-brand companies must sign for the agreement to take effect. So far, only two – Tchibo and PVH Corp. – have done so. Among the companies that have refused: Gap, H&M, J.C. Penney Co., Abercrombie & Fitch, Kohl’s, Sears and the giant of retailers, Wal-Mart. They’ll fix this themselves, they say. No outsiders allowed, they mean. The economic wrath of American consumers could improve the lives of garment workers in Bangladesh. Calling all women. We are the primary shoppers in most families. We decide what clothes to buy and where. Think of our collective power if we looked at labels, asked for managers, demanded changes and then

walked out the door empty-handed, posting our boycotts on Facebook and Twitter. Consider this exchange between a mother and her 24-year-old garment worker son calling from a factory fire in Tazreen, Bangladesh, as chronicled by Sarah Stillman for The New Yorker:

“Mom,” he’d said, “there is a fire in the factory. I’m trying my best to escape, but smoke is filling my lungs.” “Run to the stairs!” his mother told him. ... “Run to the window, and I’ll hop on a bus to come and get you.” Ten minutes later, he called again. The stairs were jammed by a stampede. “Mom, I’m trying my best. There is no way I can get out.” “Go to the toilet,” his mother told him, “and run the water so that it clears the smoke and you can breathe.” The son said, “OK, I’m doing that.” He tried this, without luck, then returned to the factory floor, where his colleagues’ bodies were piling up in the dark. Finally, he called home once more. This time, he rang with an apology. “Mom,” he cried, “it will be my last call – I’m dying for sure. I am sorry. I tried my best. I cannot breathe.” He wanted to convey a message. “I’m removing my shirt from my body, and I will tie it to my waist, so you can find me.” So he ripped off his shirt, made a knot around his torso, and collapsed so as to be found the next day by his mother. “We have a means of spreading the truth,” Lucretia Mott said. Yes, we do. If only we make the time.

The plan at Northern Illinois University to require students to live in campus housing for their freshman and sophomore years will have consequences, both intended and unintended. If the requirement works as expected and helps increase student retention at NIU, then the positives for the community should outweigh the negatives. It’s not that concerns about the new rule voiced by the DeKalb Area Rental Association, which represents local landlords, are unfounded. The loss of an entire class of students from the rental market could increase the percentage of vacant rental properties in DeKalb. Will Heinisch, the president of DARA, estimated For the record that the vacancy rate could increase from the 8 to 10 The university’s goal is percent level to 12 to 13 to improve its retention percent when the rule goes rate, and data suggest that into effect. requiring students to live on That could have some campus as sophomores can effect on bottom lines of some landlords, particularly help ensure more of them return as juniors. Better those whose properties are student retention is good for not well-maintained. The change also has the NIU, and by extension, the potential to effect patterns in area in general. shopping behavior, as fewer students living off-campus means fewer people making trips to area grocery stores, and other businesses near neighborhoods dominated by student housing could see some marginal drop-off in business. But the new residency requirement should be an overall positive for the area, potentially even for the local rental market. The university’s goal is to improve its retention rate, and data suggest that requiring students to live on campus as sophomores can help ensure more of them return as juniors. Better student retention is good for NIU, and by extension, the area in general. Requiring students to live in dorms might also help encourage more of them to stay in the area, rather than leaving for their parents’ homes in the Chicago suburbs on weekends. Keeping a vehicle is more difficult for dorm-dwellers than apartment dwellers, so the requirement could be helpful in that way as well. What’s more, the residency requirement could help with one of the city of DeKalb’s goals, too: Improving the quality of rental housing. As landlords themselves acknowledge, it’s not the owners of the nicer properties who stand to be hurt by the change – their properties are always the first to be rented. Heightened competition could lead landlords to improve their offerings, or elect to sell them to someone who will. The effect of the change at NIU won’t be felt until fall 2015, the first class at NIU expected to be subject to the new residency requirement. Landlords and anyone else who think their business could be effected by the change have until then to contemplate their strategy on how to compete in a slightly different market, one which could have a diminished pool of renters – at least in the short term.

CIA must account for secret payments The news that the Central Intelligence Agency has been spending lavishly in Afghanistan should come as no surprise. The agency went to work in the country right after Sept. 11, 2001, and has played a dominant covert role hunting down al-Qaida and the Taliban ever since, while the Pentagon and other agencies have pursued more transparent military and development operations costing many billions of dollars. Even so, details of the agency’s involvement recently reported by Matthew Rosenberg in The Times are eye-popping and infuriating. For more than a decade, the agency has made monthly cash payments to the offices of President Hamid Karzai amounting to tens of millions of dollars. There are many reasons to be outraged. Not the least of these is that the payments helped fuel corruption just when other agencies, including the White House and State Department, were pressing the Afghans to crack down on corruption and prosecute those responsible. American leaders have argued again and again that Afghanistan’s success, and America’s success in Afghanistan, including its ability to withdraw troops by the end of 2014, depended on a government in Kabul that could win the hearts and minds of its people and competently deliver services. The United States and other donors have warned the Afghans that continued international assistance – which the country is expected to need for years to come – will be conditioned on concrete steps to curb corruption. Now that the CIA payments have been exposed, it will be harder to make that argument. Congress should publicly call the CIA to account. Especially at a time of economic hardship at home, what possible justification is there for continuing to spend millions of dollars in ways that are at such cross-purposes with American principles and interests?

“We have it all...” You have probably heard the saying, seeing is believing. We had heard it too. But each and every time we visited other retirement communities near our home in Wheaton we found out they just Dick & Lou Cole weren’t able to live up to our expectations. At some point during our search, good friends told us Oak Crest has it all – great location, beautiful homes, unbeatable amenities and future security. I’ll be honest with you, we were still a little skeptical. Then we visited Oak Crest and after meeting the friendly staff and talking with people who make Oak Crest their home we were convinced. Now, we call Oak Crest home and tell everyone we know that it’s true. Oak Crest has it all and so do we. Dick & Lou Cole, Residents since December 2009

8MORNING KICKOFF

Poll: Widespread support for Redskins name

WASHINGTON – It’s been a rough offseason for the Washington Redskins, and not just because of the knee injury to star quarterback Robert Griffin III. The team’s nickname has faced a new barrage of criticism for being offensive to Native Americans. Local leaders and pundits have called for a name change. Opponents have launched a legal challenge intended to deny the team federal trademark protection. A bill introduced in Congress in March would do the same, although it appears unlikely to pass. But a new Associated PressGfK poll shows that nationally, “Redskins” still enjoys wide support. Nearly four in five Americans don’t think the team should change its name, the survey found. Only 11 percent think it should be changed, while 8 percent weren’t sure and 2 percent didn’t answer. Although 79 percent favor keeping the name, that does represent a 10 percentage point drop from the last national poll on the subject, conducted in 1992 by The Washington Post and ABC News just before the team won its most recent Super Bowl. Then, 89 percent said the name should not be changed, and 7 percent said it should. – Wire report

GIRLS SOCCER: H-BR 1, INDIAN CREEK 0

Threloff transferring to NIU Focused By STEVE NITZ

snitz@shawmedia.com Jordan Threloff considers Northern Illinois a home. The former DeKalb High star grew up attending Huskies games. He was even a ball boy under former coach Rob Judson. Threloff chose to go to Illinois State coming out of high school. But after three years with the Jordan Redbirds, Threloff felt he Threloff needed to go in a different direction. On Thursday, he told the Daily Chronicle that he would be transferring to NIU.

More online For all your NIU sports coverage – including stories, features, scores, photos, videos, blogs and more – log on to HuskieWire.com. It will be a homecoming of sorts for Threloff, a 6-foot-10 center. “I was even at the last game at Chick Evans Field House. It’s home. I’ve grown up with Northern,” said Threloff, the 2009-10 Daily Chronicle Boys Basketball Player of the Year. “Honestly, coming out of high school I never would have thought I’d be putting on a Huskie uni-

form, but now I’m pretty excited.” Part of the reason Threloff is coming back to his hometown is for family reasons. He said he’s going to apply for an NCAA hardship waiver and would be eligible to play this season if it’s granted. If not, Threloff will sit out the 2013-14 season and have only one season of eligibility after that. Threloff redshirted the 2010-11 season at ISU, and averaged 2.5 points and 1.9 rebounds in 21 games (two starts) as a sophomore this past season. He said there are a number of reasons he decided to transfer, the main one being that a lot has changed since he stepped on the campus in Normal.

snitz@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Ed Mathey knew his Northern Illinois baseball team had a lot to prove this season. In 2012, a season that began with high expectations, the Huskies finished 15-40 and 7-20 in Mid-American Conference play. Fast forward a year. NIU sits in second place in the MAC and first in the MAC West with a 13-5 record. The Huskies are 19-24 overall. With nine games remaining in conference play, the Huskies are looking to win the MAC

Felt that we had a pretty good club, felt that we could have played better than what we did, in terms of wins and loss-

es,” Mathey said. “I think they were motivated by that. You get a whole bunch of new kids in there, new guys that have some enthusiasm, really don’t know what to expect and they just kind of get on board with what the returners are doing.” NIU junior pitcher Eli Anderson cites team chemistry as one reason for the success this year. He saw the Huskies lose their first six games, and win only four of their first 19 contests before conference play. However, Anderson said that, in a way, losing so much early helped in the long run.

HINCKLEY – While Hinckley-Big Rock girls soccer coach Paul Taeuber monitored the weather before the lightning-delayed match against Indian Creek on Thursday, his team gathered inside a classroom in the school. The Royals all sat in desks and tried to stay focused on the task at hand – beating their Route 30 rivals. They listed important points about the match on the board at the front of the room, and they tried to maintain focus as the match approached. “We were ready,” forward Jacqueline Madden said. “We were in the classJacqueline room talking Madden about what we needed to do and having silence, trying to prepare for what we wanted to do.” Seventy-five minutes after its scheduled start time, the match finally kicked off, and the Royals’ (10-6-2) preparation showed in the 1-0 victory that lasted only 40 minutes and ended early because of lightning. Madden had most of the match’s scoring chances, starting in the third minute, when her shot was saved by Indian Creek freshman goalkeeper Josie Diehl. The sophomore scored six minutes later when she collected the ball outside the penalty area, weaved her way through defenders and fired a shot into the upper corner. Lauren Paver broke through the Indian Creek defense in the 25th minute, receiving a long-ball that skipped off of the wet turf, but she put her breakaway shot just wide. Just before the contest was called in the 40th minute of the 60-minute match, Madden gathered a loose ball and fired a shot off the cross bar.

Again, the options could be worse. The poor guy who was stuck in the elevator didn’t have his bosses’ permission to talk to me, so I’ll leave his name out of this. After all, he doesn’t need to get stuck in another jam. His job for the evening was to be an elevator operator. It’s not the most glamorous task, shuttling people from the main floor

Study: Adults minimize steroid use as problem

NEW YORK – American adults rank steroid use among adolescents as less of a problem than alcohol, bullying, marijuana and sexually transmitted diseases, according to a study released Thursday that was co-commissioned by baseball’s Hall of Fame. Those polled also felt cocaine, obesity and eating disorders are bigger concerns. While 97 percent of the respondents believe steroids cause negative health effects, just 19 percent think steroid use is a big problem among high school students. “The results of today’s study show that steroids remain a mystery to the American public,” Hall President Jeff Idelson said at a news conference. The survey of 1,002 adults was conducted by The Gallup Organization from Oct. 9 to Nov. 10 and commissioned by the Hall, the Taylor Hooton Foundation and the Professional Baseball Athletic Trainers Society.

GAME 2: WILD AT BLACKHAWKS, 8:30 P.M. TODAY, CSN, NBCSN, AM-720

Rookies important contributors in playoffs

Hawks’ Saad among those making impact By JAY COHEN

The Associated Press CHICAGO – A year ago, Brandon Saad was just a footnote when he made his postseason debut for the Blackhawks against the Phoenix Coyotes. He skated for just more than 10 minutes in two games and picked up his first career NHL point on an assist, but the Hawks were eliminated in the first round. This season, the 20-year-old Pittsburgh native is skating on the same line as Jonathan Toews and Marian Hossa. He is one of several rookies playing an important role for contending teams in the playoffs. “It’s definitely more intense,” Saad said. “Guys working harder, faster pace.” Saad played 21 minutes and had two shots in the Hawks’ 2-1 overtime win over Minnesota in Game 1 of their best-of-seven series Tuesday. It was the first career playoff game for Wild rookies Charlie Coyle, Jason Zucker and Jonas Brodin, who will be back on the ice when the series resumes tonight at the United Center. “It’s a little bit different,” Brodin said. “It’s a step higher with everything. More intensity and stuff. So it’s fun to play in. We were waiting for this all the year. It’s a really fun time right now.” The playoffs are full of important rookies this year. Forwards Brendan Gallagher (15 goals, 13 assists) and Alex Galchenyuk (nine goals, 18 assists) helped Montreal grab the Northeast Division title and No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference.

Pittsburgh forward Beau Bennett scored a power-play goal only 25 seconds into his first playoff shift Wednesday night, converting a nifty wrist shot to give the Penguins a 1-0 lead over the New York Islanders. The 21-year-old rookie got the start on the fourth line over veteran Tyler Kennedy. “The skill he adds to our lineup in that role starting with today, which was the fourthline role, was not only evident in a great goal on the back end of that power play, but 5 on 5 as well in some of the shifts he

BULLS NOTES

Opportunity knocks for Bulls’ Teague Rookie guard sees time with others hurt, ill By TOM MUSICK

tmusick@shawmedia.com CHICAGO – As a handful of his teammates battled various injuries and illnesses Thursday, Bulls rookie point guard Marquis Teague prepared for his role as the next man up. “Any time you get on the floor, it’s an opportunity to show what you can do,” Teague said. “Try to make your name.” It has been tough for Teague to make his name at the end of the Bulls’ bench Marquis this season. Teague Teague, 20, played sparingly in 48 out of 82 games during the regular season after the Bulls selected him with the No. 29 overall pick in the 2012 NBA draft. He averaged 2.1 points and 1.3 assists a game while shooting 38.1 percent from the field. Once the playoffs started, Teague’s role diminished further. He appeared in two of the Bulls’ first five games against the Brooklyn Nets, combining for two points in three minutes. However, a calf injury to Kirk Hinrich and an illness to Nate Robinson left the Bulls’ backcourt in need of reinforcements for Game 6. Hinrich was ruled out before the game, while Robinson started despite not feeling well.

Teague started the second quarter and finished with two points on 1-for-3 shooting. Whenever the Bulls called on him to contribute, Teague said, his mission was clear. “Get in the paint, like I always do,” Teague said. “Try to get to the rack [and] either get a layup or create for one of my teammates. Try to pressure the ball.” Valuable vet: Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau went out of his way to praise 14-year NBA veteran Nazr Mohammed for his late-season contributions to the team. Mohammed, 35, entered Thursday averaging 5.6 points and 4.0 rebounds a game during the Bulls’ firstround playoff series. The Bulls have needed his contributions because starter Joakim Noah has been limited because of plantar fasciitis in his right foot. “Nazr in particular has worked extremely hard,” Thibodeau said. “We needed him down the stretch. We needed him in the series. He’s gotten out there and he’s done a good job for us.” Trivia time: Nets center Brook Lopez became the first player to score at least 20 points in five consecutive playoff games against the Bulls since a certain Hall of Famer center in the mid1990s. Any guesses? We’ll give you another second. If you guessed Patrick Ewing, give yourself a prize. The New York Knicks’ big man averaged 23.4 points in five playoff games against Michael Jordan and the Bulls in 1996.

had in the offensive zone,” Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said. “That’s something he added, especially the last stint he got called back up, he’s proven he can do that and certainly did that again.” Bennett became the first rookie to score the first goal for the Penguins in the playoffs since Jordan Staal against Ottawa in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals April 11, 2007. He also joined an impressive list of Penguins who scored in their postseason debut, including Sidney Crosby. “We have a lot of depth on this team so we’ve all got to be ready when we’re called upon,” Bennett said. “Luckily I got the call. I tried to take full advantage of it.”

Saad made his NHL debut Oct. 7, 2011, at Dallas, but spent most of the season with Saginaw in the Ontario Hockey League. He came into his own this year, when he had 10 goals and 17 assists in 46 games. He also led all NHL rookies with a plus-17 rating. Playing with veteran stars Toews and Hossa has helped with the development of the second-round selection from the 2011 entry draft. “It’s helped out tremendously,” Saad said. “I mean, being able to play on this team with how good we’ve been playing and especially with those guys on the same line, it’s been huge for my confidence and for my learning ability. I couldn’t really ask for anything more.” Coyle, who was acquired in the 2011 trade that sent All-Star defenseman Brent Burns to San Jose, plays on Minnesota’s first line with Zach Parise and Mikko Koivu. The 6-foot-2 right wing had eight goals and six assists in 37 games this season. “You have many dreams growing up, and playing for the Cup is my biggest one,” said Coyle, a first-round pick by San Jose in the 2010 draft. “So it’s pretty special to be here and be with this group of guys. It’s a good group of guys, so it’s exciting.” Brodin and fellow defenseman Ryan Suter stepped up after goalie Niklas Backstrom was scratched from Game 1 with a leg injury. Brodin played 34 minutes in his first playoff game and Suter was on the ice for 41 minutes, providing valuable support for backup goalie Josh Harding. Zucker, who played six games for Minnesota last season, had a shot go off the crossbar in overtime in the playoff opener. “I thought that all our young kids played a very good game,” Minnesota coach Mike Yeo said. “They were able to play their game and go out and execute.”

Coach clearly sick and tired of talking about sick, tired players • MUSICK

Continued from page B1 to the mezzanine and everywhere in between, particularly after the game when certain riders have had too much to drink. Before the game, it’s not so bad. Clearly, Thursday proved to be an exception. Sometime around 6 p.m., the elevator operator was riding solo when the machine abruptly stopped between the seventh and eighth floors. Add the machine to the inactive list along with Derrick Rose and Kirk Hinrich. The worker is not permitted to carry his phone on the job, but he pressed the call button and waited. And waited. And waited. Eventually, a technician with a walkie-talkie arrived to work on the other side of the doors. Way down below, Bulls coaches tried to determine the working parts on their roster. Dressed in a gray suit with a purple tie, Bulls general manager Gar Forman walked briskly across the locker room and toward the trainers’ room. Perhaps he had time to trade a few $10 bills to Walgreens in exchange for Vicks DayQuil, but that might not make a difference. Meanwhile, Deng, Robinson and Gibson tried to overcome their illnesses for the good of the team. Teammate Kirk Hinrich (calf) already had been ruled out for the game, and center Joakim Noah was playing on a bum right foot, and MVP point guard Derrick Rose already had picked out which designer suit to wear at the end of the bench. Dr. Thibodeau offered the following description of the bug sweeping the locker room:

“A viral something,” Thibodeau said. “Flu-like symptoms. Whatever.” An actual doctor would have charged something like $800 for this diagnosis. Of the sick players, who had it worst? Who had it best? “Now we’re into degrees of sickness?” Thibodeau asked. “They’re sick.” Clearly, Thibodeau was sick and tired of talking about players who were sick and tired. “It’s unusual, but you can see it’s all around right now,” Thibodeau said. “Everyone is feeling a little under the weather. You just deal with it.” The sickness was too much for Deng, but Robinson and Gibson gutted it out. It was an unbelievable effort, especially from Robinson, who scored 18 points and played almost 42 minutes despite throwing up on the bench during a timeout. My guy the elevator operator battled through adversity for even longer than that. After the national anthem and before the opening tip, the elevator doors finally inched open. Once enough space existed, the worker stepped down a few feet onto the carpet below. He shook his head and offered a weary smile as a couple of co-workers welcomed him back. If he was rattled, he sure didn’t show it. That’s pretty remarkable if you ask me. The mere thought of being stuck in an elevator so high above Earth gives me the willies. But here he was, standing on the seventh floor, ready to go back to work. And here are the Bulls, heading to a seventh game, ready to do the same.

snitz@shawmedia.com Sycamore softball coach Jill Carpenter tries to maintain a sense of normalcy when playing DeKalb at Northern Illinois’ Mary M. Bell Field. Carpenter and Barbs coach Jeff Davis know their teams don’t need to be pumped up for the game, which begins at 6 p.m. Tuesday. Admission is free, and any DeKalb or Sycamore student in kindergarten through eighth grade who wears their softball uniform will be able to stand on the field during the national anthem. “I think it’s probably one of the games that they look forward to the most every year,” Carpenter said about the players. “Getting to play under the lights on a college campus, a college field. It’s nice to be able to bring both sides of the community together on hopefully a good-weather day.” When the teams met at NIU last season, the Spartans beat the Barbs, 4-3, with Sycamore pitcher Abby Foulk carrying a no-hitter into the sixth inning. Davis said the Spartans usually have played his teams tough at NIU. “I think they like playing at Northern. You get the lights and you get to play on Erik Anderson – For Shaw Media a college-sized field and it’s manicured DeKalb’s Katie Kowalski pitches to Yorkville batters real nice,” he said. “But in all honesty, my during the sixth inning April 16 in DeKalb. Yorkville de- teams haven’t had a lot of great success feated DeKalb, 3-2. playing at Northen.”

Killeen’s injury shuffles Barbs’ ‘D’

DeKalb center fielder Sabrina Killeen has been out the past week with an ankle injury, meaning left fielder Jessica Townsend has had to take her place in center field. Davis said Townsend has been handling the position fine, and thinks she could step in there next season after Killeen graduates. “All that does for me is feel like, ‘OK, when Sabrina does graduate, we’re going to move Jess into centerfield,’ ” Davis said. “She did a great job [in Tuesday’s win over Morris], made a nice over-the-shoulder catch to deep center field, saved a couple runs.” Killeen hopes to be back on the field next week. “She hopes to be back for the Sycamore game, but in all honesty, we need her for our regionals,” Davis said. “That’s what we want to do, is we want to win one of those.”

Clark comfortable hitting leadoff

Hiawatha senior Dani Clark had two home runs, including a grand slam, and seven RBIs in the Hawks’ win Monday over LaMoille. The Hawks are 6-0 since coach David Tamraz decided to put Clark in the leadoff spot. Tamraz said Clark is just at ease hitting leadoff. “She’s just getting pitches to hit,” he said. “She’s very comfortable.”

No good reason why seeding meetings are so early It’s almost that time of year again. Regional seeds already are out in Class 1A and 2A. The Class 3A and 4A seeds will come out next week. The postseason is right around the corner. I’ve complained about this before, but it’s something I’ve had an issue with dating to the time I was in high school. Why are the seeds coming out this early? There’s really no reason for this to be determined with two weeks remaining in the regular season. It’s especially an issue

VIEWS Steve Nitz this season with teams having played fewer games because of terrible weather. Look at a team like Sycamore. The Spartans had won four of their past five heading into Thursday’s game at Morris. Sycamore could keep up the hot streak the rest of the year, but only some of it will be reflected in seeding. There really isn’t a good

reason the IHSA couldn’t push back the seeding date at least one week, especially when teams are seeded by regional, which is the case for all of our local teams. Sycamore coach Jill Carpenter would like the seeding pushed back, but did say that it’s not as big of a deal in the set regionals. It makes more of a difference in the suburban sectionals where seeding is that much more important. “Yeah, that would be nice. But you also have to take care of business throughout the course of the year,” Carpenter said. “Sometimes you do and sometimes you

NIU pitcher Alex Klonowski prepares to swing at a pitch from a Miami (Ohio) pitcher Saturday at Ralph McKinzie Field in DeKalb.

NIU’s last NCAAs appearance was in ’72 • NIU BASEBALL

Continued from page B1 “I hate to say it, but coming through all the losing at the beginning of the year, when you lose together and then you start winning together, it kind of brings everyone together,” Anderson said. “Because we’ve been through the worst of the worst and now there’s nowhere to go but up.” The Huskies never have won a MAC title. In 1996, they won the Midwestern Collegiate Conference tournament, losing to Northeastern Illi-

nois in the NCAA play-in series. NIU’s last NCAA tournament appearance was in 1972. One big difference between this year’s team and last year’s squad, which finished last in the MAC West, is pitching. NIU had a team ERA of 6.34 last year. This season, the Huskies boast a 4.46 ERA and a strong weekend rotation of Anderson (2.16), Alex Klonowski (3.82) and freshman Jordan Ruckman (3.41). As Mathey puts it, his pitching staff doesn’t have a ton of “stuff” guys. Anderson leads the team in strikeouts, but has only 57 in 831/3

innings. What’s gotten pitchers, such as Klonowski, by is control and good defense. “Just hitting locations and making pitches when it counts,” Klonowski said. Anderson also has been a workhorse. He leads the MAC in innings pitched and threw four consecutive complete games this year. “I like to go as far into a game as I can,” he said. “As soon as it becomes an issue with me not giving our team the best chance to win, then that’s when I come out. I feel like as deep as I can go into a game, I feel I can give the team a pretty good shot.”

“We possessed the ball more and we built opportunities,” Taeuber said. “I think we had probably seven shots on goal. We just hit the one in and I guess that’s the only one that matters.” The Timberwolves (8-3-4) just couldn’t seem to muster many opportunities after sitting on the bus during the lightning delay. “We sat there for an hour,” Indian Creek senior forward Christina Sommerfeld said. “We relaxed, and we weren’t able to warm up.

don’t. [At] the end of the day for us, I don’t think the seeds matter as much because we already know who we’re playing.” The IHSA’s system never will make everyone happy. People still complain about the fourclass system, which certainly has both its positives and negatives. However, I think pushing seeding back at least a week is something that can be done without many complications.

didn’t [affect the team.]” When the teams met early in the season, they battled to a scoreless tie. But Taeuber said he thinks his team has steadily progressed since that point, and Thursday, it controlled the flow of the match. He thinks the Royals are pointed in the right direction as they prepare for the postseason. “We did better than the last time we played them,” Taeuber said. “They’ve been looking forward to this game a lot. As a coach, I wish they looked forward to every game like that, but every game is not necessarily a Route 30 rival.”

• THRELOFF

Continued from page B1 The Redbirds had a firstyear coach in Dan Muller this year, and a mostly new coaching staff. Next season, Threloff said there won’t be anyone on the current roster that was there when he began his collegiate career. After the season, Threloff met with Muller and both agreed that it would be better for Threloff to go in a different direction. Threloff said NIU was the only Division I school looking at him, but that he had

several D-II schools interested. Threloff would have been guaranteed to play right away if he transferred to a D-II program. Chad Pecka, the Huskies’ director of player development/video coordinator, was a Barbs assistant coach during Threloff’s junior season. Threloff cited his familiarity with Pecka as one reason for his decision to go to NIU. “I’ve had a great relationship with Chad Pecka; I’ve known him since high school,” Threloff said. “With him being here, he spoke highly of coach [Mark] Mont-

gomery and the entire staff.” Threloff also said he’s impressed with who NIU has coming back, as well as what the Huskies have coming in. Former Kansas State guard Michael Orris is joining the program, although he won’t be eligible until the 2014-15 season. Brothers Aaron and Aaric Armstead also will be on next season’s roster, as well as incoming freshman guard Dontel Highsmith. “I’m pretty excited about the pieces that are there,” Threloff said. “Now I feel like I can be another piece of the puzzle to help turn the program around.”

INDIANAPOLIS – The NCAA board of directors wants to take a longer look at its new recruiting rules. On Thursday, the board suspended the biggest and most contentious rules change it approved 3½ months ago – eliminating the restrictions on how coaches can contact recruits and how often those contacts can take place outside the traditional no-contact periods. All sports other than men’s and women’s basketball, which have been abiding by that the rule since last summer, will have to wait for a change. It was one of only two rules changes of the roughly two dozen that passed in January to receive enough school signatures to override the vote. The board has pledged to listen to the concerns of coaches, athletic directors and other school leaders before putting a formal proposal back on the table. “We are supportive of moving as aggressively as possible while still studying the issues with due diligence,” board chairman Nathan Hatch, Wake Forest’s president, said in a statement posted on the NCAA website. “It’s important to make sure all the pieces of the recruiting model work together to make the most effective change in the culture.” An NCAA spokeswoman said board members were not available to comment after Thursday’s regular quarterly meeting in Indianapolis. The move is yet another stark turnabout in a reform movement that has slowed dramatically. President Mark Emmert talked about fast-tracking the changes in August 2011.

The White Sox’s Tyler Flowers (second from right) is congratulated as he reaches the dugout following his three-run home run off the Texas Rangers’ Justin Grimm in the sixth inning Thursday in Arlington. The hit also scored Conor Gillaspie and Alexei Ramirez. The Sox won, 3-1.

WHITE SOX 3, RANGERS 1

Flowers powers Sox past Rangers By SCHUYLER DIXON The Associated Press

Hector Santiago allowed two in five-plus innings filling in for Jake Peavy on Thursday night, Tyler Flowers hit a three-run homer and the White Sox beat Texas, 3-1, handing the Rangers their first series loss of the season. Flowers’ drive just inside the foul pole in left field was the third straight hit after Texas right-hander Justin Grimm (2-1) retired 10 in a row on the day he was named AL rookie of the month. Adrian Beltre’s homer in the second was the only hit through five innings against Santiago (1-1), who had six strikeouts and two walks in 51/3 innings. The left-hander made his first start of the season and fifth of his career after Peavy was scratched because of back spasms. Addison Reed pitched around two of the Sox’s eight walks, striking out the side in the ninth for his 10th save and second in two nights. The coldest May game at Rangers Ballpark came just three weeks after the coldest day game there – and the Rangers lost both.

CHICAGO – Several defensive lapses by the Cubs spoiled a great performance by starter Travis Wood. Yonder Alonso’s two-out fly ball to right field dropped in front of Julio Borbon for an RBI single and catcher Welington Castillo failed to hustle on a passed ball that allowed another to score in a four-run eighth inning, boosting the San Diego Padres over the Cubs, 4-2, on Thursday for a four-game series split. “I don’t know, I just get [it] off of my mind, [mental] mistake,” Castillo said about play. “I want to apologize to my teammates for doing that,

vs. Cincinnati, 1:20 p.m. today, CSN, AM-720 that’s not going to happen anymore. I feel like I lost the game. I’m the one that has to keep everyone in the game and I just got out of the game.” Wood (2-2) retired his first 14 batters before Kyle Blanks singled, and he led 2-0 when Jesus Guzman reached on an infield single leading off the eighth. San Diego went ahead with just one hard-hit ball in the inning, taking advantage of two infield hits, and the two defensive miscues.

Wood appeared to have gotten himself out of a jam in the eighth before Borbon missed the fly. Jesus Guzman started the inning with a single and Blanks followed with a walk. But Jedd Gyorko flied out and Nick Hundley fouled out. Yonder Alonso, pinch-hitting for Joe Thatcher, lofted a ball to right on the windy afternoon. Second baseman Darwin Barney backpedaled and Borbon sprinted in. Borbon called for the ball, Barney peeled off, and the ball fell just in front of Borbon’s outstretched glove as Guzman scored. “It’s a ball that I felt I should’ve caught,” Borbon

said. “It’s just one of those you look at the conditions and also getting used to it. It’s a matter of just that extra second of maybe Barney recognizing it and either calling me off or him being able to get out of the way.” Borbon entered at the start of the inning as a defensive replacement for Scott Hairston, who had put the Cubs ahead with a two-run homer in the seventh off Eric Stults. Borbon was making his third big league appearances in right, all since joining the Cubs on April 19. Wood gave up three runs and four hits in 72/3 innings. He has won only two of six starts despite a 2.50 ERA.

Next at Kansas City, 7:10 p.m. today, CSN+, AM-670 The game-time temperature of 44 was 37 degrees cooler than the previous night. It was a 40-degree difference on April 10, when the temperature at first pitch was 39 degrees for 2-0 loss to Tampa Bay in a day game after it had been 79 the night before. The Rangers were the last team in the majors without a series loss. Grimm, who had a 1.59 ERA in three April starts to earn rookie of the month honors, was cruising with two outs in the sixth when Conor Gillaspie and Alexei Ramirez singled before Flowers drove a hanging breaking ball for his fourth homer of the season. The Sox trailed 1-0 in the third when they loaded the bases with one out on singles by Alejandro De Aza and Adam Dunn and a walk to Alex Rios. But Grimm struck out Paul Konerko and Gillaspie on six strikes in seven pitches.

The Associated Press

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – It’s easy to figure out where Todd Pletcher got the idea to enter five horses in this year’s Kentucky Derby. He used to work for D. Wayne Lukas. For the longest time, Lukas was the biggest star in the sport, the guy in the white hat with an army of thoroughbreds stashed coast-to-coast, winning every big race in sight. In 1996, Lukas won his third Derby with Grindstone, a horse he considered the weakest of his five entries. It took him decades to admit as much, but he can do that now. At 77, Lukas has 13 Triple Crown wins, including four at the Derby, and is the sport’s elder statesman. He already is in the Hall of Fame. Pletcher tried overwhelming the Derby the same way. He daringly took aim with four horses his first time, in 2000, and then tried a record-tying five in 2007. It wasn’t until he saddled four in 2010 that long shot Super Saver delivered his first whiff of red roses in the winner’s circle. Lukas long ago had advised him, “You can win all these stakes, but you got to get this one on your resumé.” Other than another Derby win or two – he’s been to a dozen with only the one win – Pletcher’s resumé couldn’t get much better. He’s won Breeders’ Cup races, led the nation in money winnings, and commands the best and biggest racing operation in the country. Indeed, he learned well from the master. These days, though, they’re a marked contrast of each other – one is loose and takes all questions; the other is a little uptight. With a fancy cowboy boot

Trainer Todd Pletcher watches morning workouts Tuesday at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Ky. propped on a white sawhorse, Lukas holds court until the last visitor is satisfied. “Can you believe we get paid for this?” he marvels. Pletcher barely can stand being quizzed. He’s as buttoned-down as Lukas is casual. The 45-year-old son of a trainer, Pletcher comes to work in a perfectly pressed white shirt tucked into belted jeans, and his gray hair is cut short. Neatness is something he learned from Lukas’ spitshined example during seven years as an apprentice. Not surprising, Lukas and Pletcher hold down the top two spots among trainers for the most Derby starters. Lukas is extending his record with Nos. 46 and 47 this year; while Pletcher’s current five give him 36. “Now,” Lukas said, showing some of the candor that comes with well-worn success, “35 of those I didn’t want to run.” Pletcher might have had seven horses in the starting gate at Churchill Downs if not for health issues with Breeders’ Cup Juvenile winner Shanghai Bobby and Violence. “He knows what to do,” Lukas said. “It’s such a difficult race to win.”

A museum worker looks at the “Gabriel Stone” as it is displayed at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem on Tuesday. An ancient stone with mysterious Hebrew writing and featuring the archangel Gabriel is being displayed in Israel, even as scholars continue to argue about what the inscription means.

Gabriel Stone

Mysterious Hebrew stone displayed in Jerusalem

n ancient limestone tablet covered with a mysterious Hebrew text that features the archangel Gabriel is at the center of a new exhibit in Jerusalem, even as scholars continue to argue about what it means. The so-called Gabriel Stone, a meter (three-foot)-tall tablet said to have been found 13 years ago on the banks of the Dead Sea, features 87 lines of an unknown prophetic text dated as early as the first century BC, at the time of the Second Jewish Temple. Scholars see it as a portal into the religious ideas circulating in the Holy Land in the era when was Jesus was born. Its form is also unique – it is ink written on stone, not carved – and no other such religious text has been found in the region. Curators at the Israel Museum, where the first exhibit dedicated to the stone is opening Wednesday, say it is the most important document found in the area since the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls. “The Gabriel Stone is in a way a Dead Sea Scroll written on stone,” said James Snyder, director of the Israel Museum. The writing dates to the same period, and uses the same tidy calligraphic Hebrew script, as some of the Dead Sea Scrolls, a collection of documents that include the earliest known surviving manuscripts of Hebrew Bible texts. The Gabriel Stone made a splash in 2008 when Israeli Bible scholar Israel Knohl offered a daring theory that the stone’s faded writing would revolutionize the understanding of early Christianity, claiming it included a concept of messianic resurrection that predated Jesus. He based his theory on one hazy line, translating it as “in three days you shall live.” His interpretation caused a storm in the world of Bible studies, with scholars convening at an international

The Gabriel Stone is displayed at an exhibition at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. conference the following year to debate readings of the text, and a National Geographic documentary crew featuring his theory. An American team of experts using high resolution scanning technologies tried – but failed – to detect more of the faded writing. Knohl, a professor of Bible at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, eventually scaled back from his original bombshell theory but the fierce scholarly debate he sparked continued to reverberate across the academic world, bringing international attention to the stone. Over the last few years it went on display alongside other Bible-era antiquities in Rome, Houston and Dallas. Bible experts are still debating the writing’s meaning, largely because much of the ink has eroded in crucial spots in the passage and the tablet has two diagonal cracks the slice the text into three pieces. Museum curators say only 40 percent of the 87 lines are legible, many of those only barely. The interpretation of the text featured in the Israel

Museum’s exhibit is just one of five readings put forth by scholars. All agree that the passage describes an apocalyptic vision of an attack on Jerusalem in which God appears with angels on chariots to save the city. The central angelic character is Gabriel, the first angel to appear in the Hebrew Bible. “I am Gabriel,” the writing declares. The stone inscription is one of the oldest passages featuring the archangel, and represents an “explosion of angels in Second Temple Judaism,” at a time of great spiritual angst for Jews in Jerusalem looking for divine connection, said Adolfo Roitman, a curator of the exhibit. The exhibit traces the development of the archangel Gabriel in the three monotheistic religions, displaying a Dead Sea Scroll fragment which mentions the angel’s name; the 13th century Damascus Codex, one of the oldest illustrated manuscripts of the complete Hebrew Bible; a 10th century New Testament manuscript from Brittany, in which

Gabriel predicts the birth of John the Baptist and appears to the Virgin Mary; and an Iranian Quran manuscript dated to the 15th or 16th century, in which the angel, called Jibril in Arabic, reveals the word of God to the prophet Mohammad. “Gabriel is not archaeology. He is still relevant for millions of people on earth who believe that angels are heavenly beings on earth,” said Roitman. The Gabriel Stone, he said, is “the starting point of an ongoing tradition that still is relevant today.” The story of how the stone was discovered is just as murky as its meaning. A Bedouin man is said to have found it in Jordan on the eastern banks of the Dead Sea around the year 2000, Knohl said. An Israeli university professor later examined a piece of earth stuck to the stone and found a composition of minerals only found in that region of the Dead Sea. The stone eventually made it into the hands of Ghassan Rihani, a Jordanian antiquities dealer based in Jordan and London, who in turn sold the stone to Swiss-Israeli collector David Jeselsohn in Zurich for an unspecified amount. Rihani has since died. The Bible scholar traveled to Jordan multiple times to look for more potential stones, but was unable to find the stone’s original location. Israel Museum curators said Jeselsohn lent the stone to the museum for temporary display. Lenny Wolfe, an antiquities dealer in Jerusalem, said that before the Jordanian dealer bought it, another middleman faxed him an image of the stone and offered it for sale. “The fax didn’t come out clearly. I had no idea what it was,” said Wolfe, who passed on the offer. It was “one of my biggest misses,” Wolfe said. What function the stone had, where it was displayed, and why it was written are unknown, said curators of the Israel Museum exhibit. “There is still so much that is unclear,” said Michal Dayagi-Mendels, a curator of the exhibit. Scholars, she said, “will still argue about this for years.”

St. Paul’s makes local donations

The Lobster Boil at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church has been a DeKalb tradition since 1967. This fundraiser supports both church activities and social service agencies in the community. As a part of the tradition, half of the proceeds of the Lobster Boil are donated to local organizations that directly help people in need. On April 24, the Episcopal Church Women distributed checks to several local charities and agencies including: DeKalb County Hospice, Voluntary Action Center, Family Service Agency, Community Coordinated Child Care, Hope Haven, Safe Passage, Habitat for Humanity, Children’s Waiting Room in the Courthouse, Love in the Name of Christ and the DeKalb County Nursing and Rehab Center Auxiliary. This year’s boil will be May 18. The deadline for ordering live or cooked lobsters is May 13. To order online, visit www.stpaulsdekalb.org.

On April 24, St. Paul’s Episcopal Church gave 50 percent of last year’s lobster boil profits to local organizations that help people in need. Pictured (from left) in the back row are Sue Rankin of DeKalb County Hospice, Leah Jordal of Voluntary Action Center, Mike Newman of Hope Haven, Susan Peterson of Community Coordinated Child Care, Sharon Dowen and Anthony Cvek of Habitat for Humanity.

Their half-hour presentation for the banquet will include a narrative script written by Puppet Director Carla Vanatta celebrating the mission of Love INC, including six choreographed songs: “God So Loved the World,” “Born in a Barn,” “Jesus Loves Me,” “Born Brand New,” “Live and Grow” and “Go Light Your World.” Salem Puppet Praise Team is a creative arts ministry of Salem Lutheran, 1145 DeKalb Ave., Sycamore, and is active during the school year.

Organizers named for CROP Walk Jean Evans and Jerry Lane will be the coordinators for the 2013 Sondra King Memorial CROP Hunger Walk of North DeKalb County. The husband and wife team take on this role with a history of community activism. Evans and Lane coordinated the CROP Walk in the early 1990s and Evans was treasurer for some years thereafter. The CROP Hunger walk is an ecumenical, nationwide fundraising event under the direction of Church World Service. CROP began in late 1940s providing relief to war-torn Europe and originally stood for Christian Rural Overseas Project. Grain was collected by churches from local farmers and shipped overseas. Today, the acronym has changed to Communities Responding to Overcome Poverty, which reflects its current mission. “It’s still about fighting hunger and alleviating poverty here at home and abroad, but we approach it differ-

50 Off

ently,” Evans said in a news release. “CROP was one of the first to adopt the fundraising walk. It symbolizes the tremendous distances people, often children, have to walk to get clean water, food and fuel for cooking.” Funds raised don’t just provide food. They also go to dig wells, provide modern farming implements, start food co-ops, develop small businesses and other cost-effective ways that help impoverished people develop the means to feed themselves. Each year, more than 20 religious, civic and community groups and individuals, come together for the walk in DeKalb County. This year’s event will take place Oct. 20. After six years walking in DeKalb, the walk is shifting to the Sycamore area. The next planning committee meeting will be at 7 p.m. May 13 at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, 206 Somonauk St., Sycamore.

Dad’s job offer has too many strings attached

Dear Abby: I’m 29 and for 10 years I have been struggling with controlling parents. They have cut two of my sisters out of their lives because they live closer to their spouses’ parents. My husband and I are full-time students, ex-military and taking advantage of the G.I. Bill. We’re looking for jobs, but my parents have threatened not to speak to me if we take jobs closer to his parents. I’m trying to be fair to both sets of parents, but we can’t stay unemployed because of this issue. We have a family to support. I tried reasoning with them, but I’m unsure how to proceed. Dad called and offered my husband a job in my hometown. We declined because if we accept, they will expect us to live near

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips them. Please tell me what to do. I don’t want my family to fall apart any more than it already has. – Smothered in The South Dear Smothered: If you feel smothered now, imagine how it would be if you and your husband were economically dependent on your parents. No part of your lives would be separate from them, and you would be completely under their control. Holding the family together is not your responsibility, and you should not sacrifice your independence in an attempt to do so. Your parents’ emotional blackmail has already driven

away two of your sisters and their families. I assume you have relationships with your siblings. I’m advising you to maintain them and live your own lives. With time, your parents may realize they haven’t isolated their children; they have isolated only themselves. Dear Abby: Today I saw a former classmate I hadn’t seen in 22 years. He always seemed a little slow and different from the rest of us, and he was picked on at school because of it. When I said hello to him and reminded him of my name and that we went to school together, he said, “You danced with me at prom, and I always thought that was so nice!” I had forgotten that I had danced with him, but obviously, the fact that I did meant something to him.

My parents raised me to be nice to everyone, even if they weren’t in my circle of friends. I’m not claiming that I was a saint in school, but I did try to stand up for people who were being picked on. I wanted to share with your readers that any act of kindness probably means more than you know to the other person. I will be sharing my parents’ message of kindness with my own daughter, and I hope other parents read this and do the same. – Passing It On in Ohio Dear Passing It On: Thank you for a wonderful letter. Your lesson in compassion is one that all parents should discuss with their children. Dear Abby: I’m an 18-yearold girl who will be job searching pretty soon. I have never felt the need to wear

makeup in my day-to-day life, but now I’m wondering. Is it unprofessional to go into a workplace sans makeup? Will future bosses think I don’t look put-together? I wonder if any other girls my age are having the same confusion. – Ready To Be Out There Dear Ready: It depends upon what kind of job you’ll be searching for. If you plan to work with the public, you should try to look your best at all times. For your interviews, you should be neatly, but conservatively dressed. And as for makeup, you needn’t apply it as though you were going on stage, but a touch of color wouldn’t hurt.

Make it a habit to read nutrition facts label

Dear Dr. K: I know fruits and vegetables make the healthiest snacks. But can packaged foods also be part of my healthy snack arsenal? Dear Reader: There’s no doubt that many packaged foods are not very healthy, so you’re right to ask the question. At the same time, an increasing number of healthy packaged foods are available. Identifying them has been made a lot easier by the action of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Since 1994, packaged foods in the U.S. must carry the Nutrition Facts label. You just need to learn how to use that label to judge what’s inside the package. Here are some things to

ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff consider when looking at nutrition labels: • Size matters. The word “serving” always mystified me: How much is a serving of something? I figured a slice of bread was one serving. But how many pancakes make up a serving? How much mashed potatoes? (The answers, I now know, are two 6-inch pancakes, and one cup of mashed potatoes.) Fortunately, the nutrition labels on packaged foods tell you what a serving size is (it’s the first item on the label). All other informa-

tion (how many calories and how much salt, fat, etc.) is based on that serving size. Beware: Many packages contain more than one serving. • Check the fat and cholesterol content. Keep saturated fat and cholesterol low and avoid trans fats altogether. Look for foods that have 0 grams of trans fat. Stay away from foods that have “partially hydrogenated vegetable oil” in the ingredients list (that’s code for trans fats). Foods made with healthy unsaturated oils (olive, canola, safflower) are better bets. • Is it worth its salt? Compare the sodium content to the calories per serving. To keep your salt intake in check, consider products in which the

sodium content is less than or equal to the calories per serving. For example, for a food with 250 calories per serving, the sodium content should be no more than 250 mg. Or choose low-sodium, low-salt or unsalted versions. • Figure out the fiber. Aim for foods that have at least 5 grams of fiber per serving, or at least 1 gram of fiber for every 10 grams of carbohydrate. • Stay away from added sugars. Sugar contains almost no nutrients. It fills you up with empty calories, keeps you from eating healthy foods, and makes it difficult for your body to maintain a healthy blood sugar level. Steer clear of foods that have sugar, honey, molasses, corn

syrup, corn sugar, fructose or high-fructose corn syrup among the first three ingredients. Other names for sugar include agave nectar, brown sugar, cane sugar, corn sweetener, dextrose, maltose, fruit juice concentrate and glucose. Packaged foods have become an essential part of our fast-paced life. The Nutrition Facts label makes it possible for us to use packaged foods for meals and snacks – and to know if we’re eating healthy or not.

I can’t find fault with your mom’s decision

Dr. Wallace: I’m 16 and have a part-time job on Monday and Wednesday afternoons after school. I work from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. in an office as a filing clerk. I get paid $40 a week, and I really like the job and the money. Yesterday (Tuesday) the office secretary called my mom while I was at school and asked if I’d be interested in also working Tuesday afternoons. My mom told her I’d “love to work Tuesday afternoon.” I do like the job very much and normally I would work extra days if needed, but it so happens that yesterday was my best friend’s 16th

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace birthday, and I was going to help her celebrate (along with other friends) after school at a local pizza parlor. So instead of having a great time with friends, I had to go to work. Mom called school and gave me the message: “Go to work after school. You are needed.” I think that Mom should not have volunteered my services at work before she talked with me about it. She could have contacted the

TODAY – Your time-tested ways to generate earnings will continue to be the way to go in the year ahead. However, it wouldn’t hurt to also keep a weather eye peeled for good, solid investments. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Unless you have absolutely no choice, do not delegate a critical assignment to a surrogate. If you must do so, keep a constant check on the party in question. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – When pressed for answers about work or financial questions, you can be very resourceful. This gift can work wonders. CANCER (June 21-July 22) – For some reason, you’re likely to be unusually receptive to new concepts. This asset will prove to be quite valuable in helping you recognize someone else’s ingenious idea. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Don’t hesitate to make a change to a current project if you feel it would help. Even if you’re uneasy, you’ll quickly find your comfort zone. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – You may get an opportunity to spend time with someone whom you don’t know well. This person could very quickly turn into a good friend. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – This is a good day to begin to distance yourself from an endeavor that has proved unproductive. You’ll find that once you get out, associates will likely do the same. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – If you’re wondering why a recent acquaintance is starting to warm up to you, the answer is simple. You no longer are judging this person as harshly as you once did. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – A whole new way of adding to your resources might come about through an unusual set of circumstances. You’ll have to be on your toes to spot it. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – You are about to enter a new cycle where your athletic skills could begin to peak. Take part in as many sporting activities as you can.

by helping your employer out of a tight spot. But if the occasion arose again, it would be wise if mom contacted you before making a commitment. Dr. Wallace: I’m a first-year student at Indiana University and plan to major in elementary education. I really enjoy working with young children. I know I’ll never become rich teaching. Why are teachers paid so poorly compared with other professionals? Our country would be hurting if all the teachers went on strike. – Nathan, Bloomington, Ind. Nathan: The problem is that teachers are public

servants, whose salaries are paid from tax dollars. This keeps their compensation lower than that of professionals in the private sector. No, Nathan, you won’t become rich from a teacher’s salary, but please be advised that teachers live highly rewarding lives. Follow your dream and don’t worry about the money. You’ll get by on your paycheck, but you’ll grow rich on the knowledge that you are nourishing young people helping them become productive citizens.

8CROSSWORD

BRIDGE Phillip Alder

The fourth suit rides to the rescue Looking up a quotation including “fourth,” I came upon this comment by James Bryce, an English diplomat and author who died in 1922: “Threefourths of the mistakes a man makes are made because he does not really know what he thinks he knows.” That gave me pause. What’s the problem? No Englishman would say “three-fourths,” he would say “three-quarters.” The quotation has been “translated.” How is that relevant to this deal? All will be revealed. Look at the South hand and bidding sequence. What should South rebid? He has no clear-cut call. He wants to get to game, but has no idea which one. He solves the problem by rebidding two diamonds, fourth-suit game-forcing. It is artificial and asks partner to do something descriptive. Usually, responder wants to get to three no-trump, but does not have a stopper in the fourth suit; or he hopes partner can show three-card support for his five-card major; or both. Here, North continues with two spades, and South jumps to four spades. (Yes, North might have rebid two spades, not two clubs.) West leads the diamond king, then shifts to a low club. How should South continue? Declarer should take trick two with his ace, ruff a diamond, play a spade to his ace (getting the bad news), and ruff his last diamond. He then plays off dummy’s top hearts and top clubs. East ruffs the last top club and leads a diamond, but South ruffs low and exits with a low spade to get two more trump tricks with his king and jack over East’s queen. He takes four spades, two hearts, two clubs and two diamond ruffs.

PUBLIC NOTICE IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER The Village of Hinckley Public Water Supply Has Levels of Combined Radium Above Drinking Water Standards

★★★

Our water system has violated a drinking water standard. Although this is not an emergency, as our customers, you have a right to know what happened, what you should do, and what we are doing to correct this situation.

★★★

We routinely monitor for the presence of drinking water contaminants. The most recent testing results we received on February 21, 2013 show that our system exceeds the standard, or maximum contaminant level (MCL), for combined radium. The standard for combined radium is 5 pico curies per liter (pCi/L). The average level of combined radium over the last year was 6 pCi/L. What should I do? You do not need to use an alternative (e.g., bottled) water supply. However, if you have specific health concerns, consult your doctor. What does this mean? This is not an immediate risk. If it had been, you would have been notified immediately. However, some people who drink water containing radium-226 or radium-228 in excess of the MCL over many years may have an increased risk of getting cancer. What happened? What is being done? We have contacted the manufacturer of the Water Treatment Equipment and are developing a corrective action plan.

Coldwell Banker Honig-Bell was ranked 25th among the nation’s top 500 brokers in number of sales transactions closed during 2012 according to RISMedia’s Power Broker Report. Coldwell Banker Honig-Bell reported 11,267 transactions for a total closed volume of $1.385 Billion. According to RISMedia, nearly 1,300 brokers responded to this year’s survey. The results published in the report are based upon responses from the top 1,000 firms. Collectively the survey respondents had over 2.9 Billion closed transactions and reported sales volume of over $767.9 Billion. According to brokers surveyed, 30% of the sales in 2012 were made to move-up buyers. First time buyers came in second accounting for 25% while the third major group or 20% was made up of investors. The remaining 25% of buyers were split between retirees, luxury buyers, 2nd Ed Prodehl home purchasers and international buyers. When asked what term best describes today’s market, 64% of the Power Brokers said recovering, 23% labeled it as growing while 10% said stable and only 3% said struggling. When asked about home prices in their respective markets, a whopping 70% indicated that they are increasing. 24% said stable and only 6% said going down. Coldwell Banker Honig-Bell President Ed Prodehl said he is among the 70% who say home prices are going up. Prodehl was extremely pleased with his company’s ranking. His outlook going into 2012 was that he expected to see a gradual improvement in the housing market. But he noted that his firm closed the year in better shape that he had anticipated. “While the country still has big problems to deal with like unemployment, there are many positives to point to like continued low interest rates, rising consumer confidence and gradually increasing home prices due to a shortage of inventory,” said Prodehl. He went on to credit his sales agents as the key to the success and continued growth of Coldwell Banker Honig-Bell. Coldwell Banker Honig-Bell is a 36 office real estate company with over 900 agents serving northern and central Illinois and southeastern Wisconsin.
