Cities see unexplained rise in violent crimes The ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO – Violent crimes – from homicides and rapes to robberies – have been on the rise in many major U.S. cities, yet experts can’t point to a single reason why and the jump isn’t enough to suggest there’s a trend. Still, it is stumping law enforcement officials, who are seeking a way to combat the problem. “It’s being reported on at local levels, but in my view, it’s not getting the attention at the national level it deserves,” FBI Director James Comey said recently. “I don’t know what the answer is, but holy cow, do we have a problem.” Americans have grown accustomed to low crime rates since a peak in the 1990s. But law enforcement started seeing a spike last year that has continued unabated. What’s unusual, however, is that it’s not happening everywhere. Chicago and Los Angeles are seeing homicides on the rise, but other places like Miami and Oakland are not. Chicago, a city long associated with violent crime that plagues its poorer neighborhoods, saw six people fatally shot over the Memorial Day weekend and 56 wounded, ending a bloody month in a bloody year. May’s 66 homicides – 19 more than May 2015 and 25 more than May 2014 – raised the total number for the year past the 240 mark. That’s more than 50 percent higher than last year, and puts the city on a pace to easily surpass the 500 homicides it saw in 2012. Perhaps more significant is the number of people who are being shot; well over 1,200 as of Tuesday, which far surpasses the 800 by this time last year. All of it has left the city on edge. “Our kids are afraid to go out of the house,” said the Rev. Michael Pfleger, a Catholic priest and activist on the city’s South Side. “You have children asking teachers to pray for them before they go home.” Some say the splintering of gangs has created deadly rivalries, others say the disbanding of specialized police units has helped embolden gangs. Guns are pouring into the city – with police saying they’ve seized more guns this year (3,500) than any city police department in the United States – but courts also have

Add to that concerns, expressed publicly by Mayor Rahm Emanuel and privately by officers, that videos like the one of a white officer fatally shooting 17-year-old Laquan McDonald, who was black, are making officers reluctant to combat crime. That video, which led to murder charges against the officer, exposed and deepened the rift between the community and the police force that many say has made the public less likely to offer the kind of cooperation that the department needs to prevent and solve crimes. “Quite frankly, trust has broken down between the community and police,” new police superintendent Eddie Johnson said. The Major Cities Chiefs Association, a nonprofit that works with police chiefs in the 50 largest cities in the U.S. as well as the seven largest cities in Canada, began hearing last year that violent crimes were increasing, executive director Darrell Stephens said. In response, the group began collecting data to better document crimes, data that showed an increase in violent crimes in 2015 over 2014. Already, the first quarter of this year showed across-the-board increases in homicides, rape, robbery and aggravated assaults and non-fatal shootings compared to 2015.

Superintendent praises 2016 class for success, humility By RHONDA GILLESPIE

rgillespie@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Every DeKalb High School class has its own personality, and for the 2016 graduates its success and humility, the DeKalb Community Unit School District 428 superintendent said. The graduating Barbs filled rows of center stage seats Saturday as the school held its commencement ceremony at the Northern Illinois Univer-

sity Convocation Center. “They have an incredible work ethic,” said Doug Moeller, whose role doubled this school year as superintendent and DHS principal. It took more than an hour for each of the graduates’ names in the county’s largest school and graduating class to be called. One by one, the young achievers walked across the stage, received their diploma from school board President Victoria Newport and got a congratulatory handshake from Moeller. “There were so many kids who were so successful in so many venues ... yet you didn’t see a lot of braggadocios behavior,” Moeller said. And the class president reminded

YMCA Flag Football Camp gives NIU athletes chance to give back By KEITH HERNANDEZ

news@daily-chronicle.com More than 80 families braved the rain Saturday at Huskie Stadium for the annual YMCA Flag Football Camp with Northern Illinois University Huskies. The camp provides an opportunity for children from kindergarten to sixth grade to play each other in flag football under the guidance of Huskie football players. Matt Lipman, assistant athletic director for football operations at NIU, said the camp also serves as an opportunity for the Huskies to give back to the community. “I think it’s a great opportunity for our kids,” Lipman said. “We have eight student athletes, and it’s great for them to see the impact that they have on young people’s lives.” Attendance for the annual event has grown from 10 children during its inception to 81 Saturday. Lipman attributed the event’s growing popularity to the appeal of meeting NIU student athletes, who he said serve as role models to younger athletes. “We were young once, and we saw how important it was to have people to look up to,” Lipman said. “I think that this is an opportunity for these kids to rub elbows with people that they look up to.” The last two sets of games were moved to Chessick Practice Center, where the children were given time for a Q&A with Huskie football players. Questions ranged from favorite NFL team to favorite foods. The athletes who answered with “Green Bay Packers” and “baked potatoes” were met with boos while those who answered with “the Bears” and “steak” were met with cheers. Parent Joe Zeiter brought 8-yearold John Zeiter to the camp so he could get familiar with football before his first year playing the sport. Joe said the camp served as a relaxed, nonofficial, setting for his son to prepare for his first football season. John said his favorite part of the camp was getting to “catch the ball and score touchdowns.”

them that, though they are headed for a new life chapter, including adulthood, they should continue to take time to create memories and enjoy life. “Don’t lose the child in you. Continue to have fun. No one on their death bed says they wish they had worked more,” said Ahmed Gadim, who will be a political science major at University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign in the fall. He praised his class for being one that could easily unite. He said even when individual students had standout moments, they were also able to stand with their fellow classmates as one. Gadim, 18, joined with school officials to pronounce the class as graduates. And after the processional, the halls outside the arena overflowed with the students’ proud family members

and friends. Angelic Richards embraced her son, David Long, and reminded him just how proud she was of him. The popular 17-year-old Barbs running back, track and field sprinter and cheerleader is the last of her four children to graduate high school. “He really put in a lot of effort to make sure he did everything he wanted to do,” Richards said. “And he enjoyed it.” Long said he plans to take his self-proclaimed charisma and endearing personality with him this fall to Gannon University. He’s going to the Erie, Pennsylvania, school on a cheerleading scholarship. As the classmates said farewell, Moeller offered all of the students parting advice. “Keep working. Have a goal in mind and work towards that goal. And don’t let anything dissuade you from doing so,” he said.

browland@shawmedia.com DeKALB – It’s not a new property tax referendum, it’s a recycled one. In a bid to secure future funding for the DeKalb County Health Department, the agency wants to ask voters to support a property tax referendum at the ballot box in November. The county has been levying a property tax for 20 years to pay off $11.8 million in bonds used to help build the DeKalb County Rehab & Nursing Center and the Public Health Department on Annie Glidden Road in DeKalb.

owner of a $200,000 home $22.88 a year; or just less than 4 cents per $100 of equalized assessed value, Hanson said. “It’s not a tax increase – it’s a tax shift,” he said. The money is needed to keep the health department from having to cut core services such as its childhood immunization program and communicable disease control and prevention, DeKalb County Health Department Public Health Administrator Jane Lux said. The health department had a deficit last year and expects another deficit this year. Lux said the department’s main funding source – grants

– has declined by 18 percent over the past eight years. That’s a decrease of $285,612. Other revenue sources also have declined in recent years, she said. In response, the department has reduced its workforce by the equivalent of 34 full-time employees in past five years, according to a presentation to the county board. “We’ve done a lot to contain costs,” Lux said. She said the money is needed to sustain the department’s existing services. If approved by the County Board, the referendum would be put on the November ballot for voters to decide.

ksmith@shawmedia.com DeKALB – On April 19, Ricky De La Cruz got a new heart, and on May 14 he got to use it in a more figurative sense, when he reached for his prom date and asked permission to hold her hand. De La Cruz, 18, had expected to be out of the hospital last month, but post-transplant complications kept the DeKalb High School student in a hospital gown for a few weeks longer than planned. Good new came recently, though, when doctors at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago, told Ricky’s mother, Dori De La Cruz, her entire family might be able to move into the Ronald McDonald house as early as this week. “Once they started dialysis it was a total turnaround,” Dori De La Cruz said. “They started a new anti-rejection medication. ... For the most part he’s been smiling, in good spirits and he’s been really good.” Friends and family are in the process of planning a bike run and spaghetti dinner for Ricky’s benefit, scheduled to take place Saturday, July 23, at the Moose Lodge, 1231 E. Lincoln Highway, DeKalb. The past two months have been tiresome for Ricky De La Cruz, but the thought that keeps him going is the promise of a ballgame hot dog at U.S. Cellular Field, where he and his family will spend the day July 24. In the meantime, encouraging words from friends have continued to get him by. “They tell me I’m doing good,” he said. Although more of Ricky’s time than

The “fast dances” were his favorite, and when all was said and done, he was glad to have asked Becca Butler to be his date that night. “It was cool,” he said sleepily. But as he jumped and spun around the dance floor, Ricky De La Cruz showed few signs of sleepiness. In fact, the grin he wore that night was one his mother hasn’t seen in a while, Dori De La Cruz said. “He’s just got a smile that lights up the room,” she said. “To see them both just giggly – it looked so normal.”

Kids Sports Nutrition

Baseball, softball, soccer, volleyball, tennis, fun-runs and more are keeping your family busy and moving this summer. Proper nutrition for your child is important to keep him or her active! As a parent and/or coach it is your job to help keep these youngsters hydrated, healthy, growing and strong. Sports nutrition for children is important, especially during those all-day tournaments and long training periods. Children’s nutrition needs are different than adults, based on their rapid growth, increasing muscle mass and hormone changes. A good rule of thumb is: Since your child is growing, he or she should not be losing weight. Try to help them maintain or gain weight if they are involved in a training program. Try to avoid fast food and junk food in attempts to help them gain weight; instead turn to high-calorie items such as nut butters, cottage cheese, full-fat Greek yogurt, avocados, hummus, protein powders and milk to add to your child’s meals for a boost in calories. Adding a snack between meals such as a homemade trail mix can also help children meet their calorie needs. Try a healthy dip with crackers, veggies and fruit, Greek yogurt cream cheese on a bagel, or check out hy-vee.com for an avocado smoothie recipe! Always, always, always keep your child hydrated.

Tips

Children should be drinking fluid before, during and after activities. What type of fluid is best? Water is the desired hydration source if activity is less than an hour. Sports drinks are an acceptable source of fluid if activity totals more than 60 minutes. Alternating between water and sports drinks is helpful for multiple game days or all-day tournaments. If your child prefers something flavored, try watering down sports drinks; the amount of sugar in these drinks is not necessary for hydration. A great recovery drink for kids and adults is 8 ounces of chocolate milk. Always discourage energy drinks; they are much too high in caffeine for a child’s diet. It is recommended by Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans that children ages 6-17 get at least 60 minutes of exercise per day. Don’t hold your kids back; encourage them to play a game of knockout after dinner, make your own obstacle course in the yard or turn to www.hy-veekidsfit.com for a family friendly competition. Let your children know that health and fitness is a family affair and participate in exercise activities as a team!

Budget fight erodes programs for at-risk teens By SOPHIA TAREEN The Associated Press

ROCKFORD – After a rash of armed robberies and carjackings startled Rockford residents this year, police recognized a few teenagers among those arrested in an ensuing crackdown. The youths had been enrolled in a state-funded program called Redeploy Illinois, which is almost universally praised as an alternative to jail that diverts troubled youths from further crime. But because of a loss of funding in Illinois’ unprecedented budget impasse, a Rockford-area nonprofit ended its program in October, leaving some 40 juveniles without the one-on-one attention they’d been receiving. Within months, police said some of those teens were re-arrested, including after 14 robberies on one January day. “When all these social service agencies are cut, the only public agency left to pick up the pieces is law enforcement. We’re not equipped to do that,” said Pat Hoey, Rockford’s assistant deputy police chief. “You can’t arrest your way out of youth violence crime issues.” Redeploy is just one example in which the gridlock between first-term Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and Democrats controlling the Legislature is eroding programs to keep youth away from criminal and child welfare sys-

News from across the state Metal thieves continue to rattle Illinois task force

PEORIA – Illinois lawmakers have convened a task force to investigate a spike in the theft of recyclable metals. There was a spike in thefts a few years ago when the price of copper and other recyclable metals rose. Copper wiring and pipes have been ripped from homes, signs and air conditioners have been stolen, and even metal grates over storm drains have been taken. As a result, the Recyclable Metal Theft Task Force formed, in an effort to look into what can be done about all recyclable metals. Bartonville Police Chief Brian Fengel, who sits on the task force, told the Journal Star that it’s working with

Of Illinois’ 102 counties, 45 had Redeploy working with roughly 700 juveniles annually – a more than decade-long program that officials boasted helped drastically cut youth prison populations. Nearly $5 million in state

funds went to Redeploy programs statewide, and the state even revamped the program’s website recently, but nothing has been paid since last summer, leading to more than 100 teens being cut off, according to state data. Last week, lawmakers adjourned

law enforcement, utilities, the scrapping industry and insurance associations to determine how the thefts can be reduced. Potential ideas are enforcing tougher prosecution and establishing better lines of connection between scrap yards and police. Fengel said a report is due in the fall.

Mary Ellen Commare, executive director of Youth Services Network, a nonprofit which gets $306,000 for Redeploy near Rockford, said she gets calls daily from families since scaling back juvenile services such as Redeploy. “It puts more kids on the street which puts them at danger and puts other people at risk of being victims,” she said. Four of Illinois’ 13 regional Redeploy programs – based in Winnebago, Montgomery, Lee and Macon counties – have closed their doors, with others scaling back or shuffling juveniles into other programs. But Redeploy organizers say the impact is even greater because of staff layoffs and many remaining programs refusing to take new juveniles. Also, Illinois’ system to provide emergency help to around 7,000 youths, such as runaways, is disintegrating in some of the poorest and highest-crime areas, including Chicago’s Englewood neighborhood, where a program serving 70 teenagers closed this year because of halted state funding. The cutbacks come as Illinois has made noticeable gains in addressing troubled juvenile populations, including reducing the number of incarcerated youth to less than 500 from a peak of over 3,000 in 2000.

Historic abandoned Peoria theater damaged by fire

PEORIA – An abandoned yet historic Peoria theater has been damaged after a fire broke out inside. The Peoria Journal Star reported the fire ignited late Saturday inside the Madison Theater in downtown Peoria. Officials said the fire was sparked in the backstage area of the theater before spreading. Streets and a nearby bar were closed as firefighters worked to put out flames. Investigators are now looking for a cause. They have not said how much damage was caused.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Clinton wins Puerto Rico’s as its counterterrorism forces, have secured the largely agriculDemocratic primary SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico – Hillary Clinton overwhelmed Bernie Sanders in Puerto Rico’s Democratic presidential primary on Sunday, putting her within striking distance of capturing her party’s nomination. After a blowout victory in the U.S. Virgin Islands Saturday and a decisive win in the U.S. territory, Clinton is now less than 30 delegates short of the 2,383 needed to win the nomination, according to an Associated Press count. “We just won Puerto Rico! ¡Gracias a la Isla del Encanto por esta victoria!” tweeted Clinton. As the race was called, Clinton was on stage on Sacramento, rallying voters in California. The results were slow to arrive on Sunday, as officials counted ballots by hand and focused first on releasing results tied to the island’s local primary elections, said Kenneth McClintock, Puerto Rico’s former Democratic National Committeeman.

The Fallujah operation coincides with a twin offensive on IS-strongholds in neighboring Syria. Syrian Kurdish forces are advancing on Manbij, an IS-held city controlling the supply route between the Turkish border and the town of Raqqa, the militants’ de facto capital. At the same time, Syrian government troops are advancing on Raqqa from the south.

Islamic State kills its own in hunt for spies By QASSIM ABDUL-ZAHRA and BASSEM MROUE The Associated Press

BAGHDAD – In March, a senior commander with the Islamic State group was driving through northern Syria on orders to lead militants in the fighting there when a drone blasted his vehicle to oblivion. The killing of Abu Hayjaa al-Tunsi, a Tunisian jihadi, sparked a panicked hunt within the group’s ranks for spies who could have tipped off the U.S-led coalition about his closely guarded movements. By the time it was over, the group would kill 38 of its own members on suspicion of acting as informants. They were among dozens of IS members killed by their own leadership in recent months in a vicious purge after a string of airstrikes killed prominent figures. Others have disappeared into prisons and still more have fled, fearing they could be next as the jihadi group turns on itself in the hunt for moles, according to Syrian opposition activists, Kurdish militia commanders, several Iraqi intelligence officials and an informant for the Iraqi government who worked within IS ranks. The fear of informants has fueled paranoia among the militants’ ranks. A mobile phone or internet connection can raise suspicions. As a warning to others, IS has displayed the bodies of some suspected spies in public – or used particularly gruesome methods, including reportedly dropping some into a vat of acid. IS “commanders don’t dare come from Iraq to Syria because they are being liquidated” by airstrikes, said Bebars al-Talawy, an opposition activist in Syria who monitors the group. Over the past months, American officials have said that the U.S. has killed a string of

top commanders from the group, including its “minister of war” Omar al-Shishani, feared Iraqi militant Shaker Wuhayeb, also known as Abu Wahib, as well as a top finance official known by several names, including Haji Iman, Abu Alaa al-Afari or Abu Ali Al-Anbari. In the northern Iraqi city of Mosul, the biggest city held by IS across its “caliphate” stretching across Syria and Iraq, a succession of militants who held the post of “wali,” or governor, in the province have died in airstrikes. As a result, those appointed to governor posts have asked not to be identified and they limit their movements, the Iraqi informant told The Associated Press. Iraqi intelligence officials allowed the AP to speak by phone with the informant, who spoke on condition of anonymity, fearing for his life. The purge comes at a time when IS has lost ground in both Syria and Iraq. An Iraqi government offensive recaptured the western city of Ramadi from IS earlier this year, and another mission is underway to retake the nearby city of Fallujah. Rami Abdurrahman, who heads the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said some IS fighters began feeding information to the coalition about targets and movements of the group’s officials because they needed money after the extremist group sharply reduced salaries in the wake of coalition and Russian airstrikes on IS-held oil facilities earlier this year. The damage and the loss of important IS-held supply routes into Turkey have reportedly hurt the group’s financing. “They have executed dozens of fighters on charges of giving information to the coalition or putting (GPS) chips in order for the aircraft to strike at a specific area,” said Abdurrahman, referring to IS in Syria.

ANOTHER VIEW

Fed’s next move needn’t depend on jobs numbers If the Federal Reserve was looking for reasons not to raise interest rates when its policy-making committee meets later this month, it now has two. Friday’s new and surprisingly weak U.S. employment numbers, added to investor anxiety about a possible British exit from the European Union, make a plausible case for leaving short-term interest rates unchanged. That would be a mistake. The Fed needs to step back and consider. A British exit and volatile U.S. jobs numbers notwithstanding, the balance of evidence continues to shift. The case is strong for moving monetary policy back toward normal – gently but purposefully, and without further delay. The U.S. labor market is hard to read. Employers added just 38,000 jobs in May – surprisingly low, even allowing for the fact that the figures are volatile and a strike at Verizon kept 35,000 workers off the monthly payroll count. On the other hand, the unemployment rate, reflecting exits from the labor force, fell to 4.7 percent, suggesting a pretty tight market. Pay was up as well, for an increase of 2.5 percent over the previous year. These conflicting numbers make it hard to measure slack in the labor market – hence the scope for boosting output and employment through further stimulus. The main question is how many of the workers who’ve stopped looking for jobs would get back into the labor market if employment opportunities improved. The evidence suggests that a diminishing but still significant number of people would do so. This is the case for keeping monetary policy loose. Bear in mind, though, that monetary policy is currently extremely loose by any conventional measure, and still would be if the policy rate was raised another quarter-point. Very low interest rates and a massively expanded central-bank balance sheet (thanks to a prolonged spell of quantitative easing) are distorting asset prices and creating problems for the future. What’s more, as a way to stimulate demand, they seem less and less effective. In short, the case for maintaining stimulus is strong, but the case for doing it with monetary policy isn’t. Ideally, the U.S. government would normalize its economic policy by combining fiscal stimulus with a more cautious monetary policy. The country badly needs to repair and improve its infrastructure. Borrowing for that purpose would be good for the economy and, under current conditions, easily affordable. The Fed doesn’t control fiscal policy, but it can and should signal that it’s no longer willing to carry the whole burden of reviving the economy, and that the balance of fiscal and monetary stimulus is dangerously out of kilter. It needs to avoid the suspicion that it’s dithering and that super-low interest rates will be available indefinitely. Despite Britain’s possible exit from the EU and the jobs numbers, this month’s meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee would not be too soon to send that message.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Virtual public space can be vicious The judgment of the online hordes was instantaneous: The mother was to blame. After a 3-year-old boy managed to fall or crawl into a gorilla habitat at the Cincinnati Zoo on a Saturday visit in late May – an encounter that resulted in the zoo’s decision to kill the rare silverback to prevent serious harm to the child – the Twitterverse lit up with denunciations of the mom. So did other social media. Shortly after the episode, an online petition was launched calling for police and child welfare authorities to hold the parents responsible for the gorilla’s death. The petition drew more than 100,000 signatures within 24 hours, according to news reports, and had gathered more than 300,000 within a few days. (Apparently swayed by public opinion, Cincinnati police launched a criminal investigation into the incident but declined to press charges against the mother, Michelle Gregg.) Never mind that none of those howling for justice for Harambe, the western lowland gorilla, were present during the encounter or had any evidence that any adults had been negligent. They wanted the child’s parents arrested, incarcerated, flayed in public, displayed in stocks in the square. “Stupid people shouldn’t be allowed access to endangered animals,” one tweet read. “This beautiful ENDANGERED gorilla was killed because of extremely poor parenting,” said another. And after Gregg posted a statement on Facebook thanking supporters for their prayers, one tweeter had this response: “Don’t hide behind your religion lady. God is not your babysitter. Ur an idiot.” Some Facebook posters even suggested Gregg and the boy’s father should have been shot instead of Harambe. For all our marvelous technological developments, for all our advances in science, medicine and even psychology, human beings remain what we have always been: irrational, judgmental, and easily swayed by the instincts of the crowd. Our public commons may have transformed

VIEWS Cynthia Tucker into a virtual space, but it still lends itself only too easily to the lynch mob. Just tune in to the raw assessments of Twitter and Facebook, where the human capacity for wisdom, empathy and understanding, yes, but also racism, sexism, misogyny and tribalism are on full display. Indeed, misogyny is so deeply embedded in social media environments that women who dare to express themselves with authority have had to learn to steel themselves for the expected assault. Psychologists tell us that social media lend themselves to that sort of repellent response because the writer is deprived of face-to-face contact with his target, reducing his capacity for empathy. There is undoubtedly much truth in that. But it’s also true that humans have always had a facility for meanness, for viciousness, for contempt – especially toward those whom they don’t know. As a black female columnist, I’ve endured my share of vile responses to my opinions, many of which pre-date social media. At least I stepped knowingly into the public arena (as did Hillary Clinton), so I knew what I was up against. Not so poor Michelle Gregg, who only wanted to give her children an outing at the zoo. She has found herself pilloried by people who have little information upon which to base their judgments. Her critics would do well to learn a few of the things Gregg may be trying to teach her 3-year-old: respect for our fellow living creatures (including other humans), good manners and impulse control.

CLASS 2A GIRLS SOCCER STATE CONSOLATION MATCH: SYCAMORE 2, ST. FRANCIS 1

NAPERVILLE – On Friday, the Sycamore girls soccer team couldn’t come from behind and got knocked into the third-place game of the IHSA Class 2A State Championship. On Saturday, the Spartans were able to come back, topping St. Francis, 2-1, with two goals in the final 30 minutes to take third place in the state tournament. “It’s one of the greatest feelings in the world,” Sycamore sophomore Ella Holland said. “It was a great experience, too.” Holland was one of two question marks surrounding the Spartans (243-1) entering the game, along with senior goalkeeper Amanda Cook. Both suffered head injuries in the 2-0 semifinal loss to Rochester. Both were re-evaluated Saturday morning before the game, with Cook being diagnosed with a mild concussion, coach Dave Lichamer said. Holland was cleared to play, and after coming in the 12th minute stayed on the field the rest of the game. Holland was the second leading scorer for the Spartans this year, and the offense ran through her, but she didn’t have a hand in either goal on Saturday. Both goals were off corner kicks by Cali Carl. St. Francis (17-5) opened the scoring in the 23rd minute when Rachel Rahman sent a high shot to the far post. Meagan Schwartz, making her first start in goal for the Spartans this year, attempted to punch it out, and the ball went back off her hand into the net. Both Sycamore goals came in the second half. The first was an own goal headed in by a St. Francis defender off Carl’s corner kick in the 50th minute. In the 74th minute, Carl found Emma Stice in front of the net for the lead. “Like we said after last game, we didn’t have many games where we were down,” Lichamer said. “Then we had yesterday and we had today. We managed to fight back through it. We always have confidence we know we have the ability and the talent to keep in the game, and couple nice corner kicks ended up winning the day for us.” Schwartz had three saves in the game playing for Cook, who will continue her playing career next year at Indiana-Purdue-Fort Wayne. Schwartz hadn’t played at all this year until playing late in the sectional semifinal when Cook hurt her hand. She also finished the game Fri-

day against Rochester, but both appearances were less than a half. “I’ve played in a couple games, and a couple of the high-stakes games,” Schwartz said. “So I was prepared mentally, but I didn’t know until this morning Amanda wasn’t going to play. It was kind of a shock to hear

that she had to go to the doctor’s and wasn’t even going to be here for the first half. That was a shock.” Lichamer said he was pleased with how the junior played in relief of Cook. “She had a solid game in goal,” Lichamer said. “She was vocal in goal

and did exactly what she needed to do.” While Holland didn’t have a hand in either goal, Lichamer said the Spartans are a different team when she’s playing. “It’s good to have her out there, and she wanted to be out there,” Lichamer said. “It really helps us to have her on the field. We still had some bumps and bruises but played through it and made something happen.” It was the second day in a row Sycamore was playing a defending state champion. St. Francis won the 2012 crown, and the Rockets were the defending 1A champion – not to mention they beat Deerfield later Saturday, 4-0, for the 2A title. It’s also the highest Sycamore has ever finished at state. The Spartans took fourth in their only other appearance, back in 2008. “It’s a great time for us,” Lichamer said. “It was a very successful year. We had a lot of great opportunities and did some really nice things on the field. To end it on a loss would have been a downer when you had such a good season.”

20 SYCAMORE GIRLS SOCCER

Carl’s corner kicks propel Sycamore to best-ever finish By JESSE SEVERSON

jseverson@shawmedia.com NAPERVILLE – Cali Carl corner kicked the Sycamore girls soccer team to school history. The Spartans scored on a pair of corner kicks from the junior midfielder to beat Wheaton St. Francis, 2-1, in the third-place game of the Class 3A State Tournament on a rainy Saturday at North Central College in Naperville. “I just really focused, and every corner I always think about the same thing – I just think exactly where I want to place it and find somebody to aim for and just hit it,” Carl said. “Today, it just went to the right place, I guess.” The win gives the Spartans (24-3-1) the best finish in school history, topping the 2008 team that took fourth at state. Carl scored on a corner kick with less than 30 minutes left in the game on a ball that bounced off a St. Francis defender and into the net to tie it 1-1. “The momentum definitely swung there,” Sycamore junior defender Taryn Mathey said. “It was unexpected, but corner kicks are our strong point of the game. Every time we see it’s a corner kick, everybody gets excited. That’s where we were strongest in the season getting our goals.” With five minutes left, Carl’s corner kick found junior Emma Stice in the middle of the box, and Stice headed it in for the game-winning goal. “They were playing a zone, so there

Sycamore beat St. Francis, 2-1. was an opening in the middle, and Cali put a perfect ball and I just put whatever I could on it,” said Stice, who scored her 10th goal of the year. The Sycamore players praised Carl’s ability on the corner kicks – not just on Saturday, but the entire season. “Her corner kicks are amazing – all year, they’ve been right where they need to be,” Stice said. “We’ve scored so many times off her corner kicks.

Throughout the year, you just know where it’s going to be because she’s so consistent. We know we just have to be there.” Stice wasn’t the only one to share that sentiment. “She has been incredible,” Mathey said. “Every single one of her corner kicks – I just have so much confidence every time she grabs that ball for the corner kicks. I know somebody’s going to get a head on this and it’ll be

perfectly placed.” According to Sycamore coach Dave Lichamer, Carl solidified herself the first day of practice for the position. “At the beginning of the year, we were looking for somebody to be our consistent corner,” he said. “She said, ‘Let me do it, let me do it.’ She puts the ball right where it needs to be and has tremendous accuracy with it. That first practice when she said she wanted to take it, it was one after another after another that she was putting in the same spot. It was a no-brainer.” Now that this Sycamore team has carved its mark as the best finish in school history, the Spartans bring back an embarrassment of riches when it comes to talented players. While they lose five seniors – including starting defenders Anna Haub and Claire Schroeder and goalkeeper Amanda Cook – the Spartans return much of their offensive production with Carl (5 goals, 11 assists), Stice (10 goals, 10 assists), freshman Saydie Holland (25 goals, 13 assists), sophomore Ella Holland (24 goals, 14 assists), freshman Taylor Meier (17 goals, 9 assists), freshman Carly Kresge (12 goals) and freshman Erica Coulibally (6 goals). “We’ll shoot for better next year, and it’s awesome that we made school history, that’s what we wanted – to be the best team that’s been through our school,” Stice said. “I feel like we’ve done that. We are losing some good seniors, but we have some good eighthgraders coming up, too. I think we’ll be just as good next year.”

CLASS 3A BASEBALL ROCHELLE SECTIONAL FINAL: SYCAMORE 4, ROCKFORD CHRISTIAN 3

Sycamore stuns Rockford Christian with walkoff hit to win sectional By JOHN BUTKUS

sports@daily-chronicle.com ROCHELLE – James Marcinkowski’s walk-off RBI single sealed Sycamore’s comeback win Saturday and gave it the Class 3A Rochelle Sectional title after beating defending state champion Rockford Christian, 4-3. Sycamore’s baseball team faced a familiar situation as it was playing from behind in the late innings with its season on the line. After matching the two runs Rockford Christian (33-5) scored in the bottom of the fifth inning, Spartans’ first baseman James Marcinkowski came up to the plate with two runners on base with one out in the bottom of the seventh inning. Facing a 2-2 count, Marcinkowski drove the ball up the middle bringing Jack Mizgalski

home and giving the Spartans (24-11) another comeback postseason victory. “Their pitcher was throwing pretty hard and we already drove a guy in to tie the game, so I was just thinking about getting a base hit,” Marcinkowski said. “Jack’s pretty quick, so I thought that a base hit would bring him in, so I was just looking for a pitch I could handle and put anywhere in the field. He threw me a fastball and I put a good swing on it, and good things happen when you can do that.” Marcinkowski provided the biggest hit of the game after going 0 for 3 previously with two strikeouts. Third baseman Jack Mizgalski went 2 for 4 while giving Sycamore the game-winning run. Sycamore recorded six hits while two more batters reached base on errors. Starting pitcher Michael Beau-

doin limited the damaged after giving up three runs on eight hits. Beaudoin finished with nine strikeouts and two walks in his seven innings on the mound. In a sectional final game against the defending Class 3A state champions, Sycamore coach Jason Cavanaugh pointed out the way his team has battled back in multiple games late in the season. “These guys just never give up, and that’s the thing with them,” Cavanaugh said. “We’re down 1-0 and then 3-0 later in the game after they hit the two-run home run – it kind of takes the wind out of our sails. But to get those two runs back in the bottom half of the fifth inning let our guys know that we’re still in the game. Talk about a big seventh inning where everything

we’ve worked on this year pays off for us. They had a big error earlier in the inning that eventually gave us the tying run and that took all the pressure off of us, and I think that was a big difference.” Sycamore advances to the Rock Island Supersectional at 7 p.m. Monday to face Limestone, and Cavanaugh and his team is sticking with the same mindset they’ve been playing with as of late. “It’s simply playing one game at a time right now,” Cavanaugh said. “But I know our guys feel like we’re never out of a game. We were down again, 5-1, the other day, and we found ways to come back, which was obviously big for us especially against the defending state champions today with most of the same roster back.”

The Barbs defense was shaky, committing four errors on the afternoon. However, whenever the team needed her, senior pitcher Morgan Newport stepped up and slammed the door shut. In the fifth inning, Barrington added two unearned runs off back-to-back DeKalb errors. With two outs and two runners on, Newport got the third out of the inning via the strikeout. In the sixth, she appeared to be wavering, hitting the first batter and giving up a double to the second, creating runners on second and third with no outs. After a groundout to second scored the

third run of the game for Barrington, Newport was able to strike out the next hitter for the second out and induce a weak roller to end the inning. “She’s been pitching really well for the last three or four weeks,” Davis said of Newport. “She keeps us in every game. She is our leader.” In the seventh, things got scary for the Barbs. After surrendering a leadoff double, Newport walked a batter, and gave up three singles, two of which were of the infield variety. This was compounded by two DeKalb errors.

CLASS 1A BASEBALL STATE CHAMPIONSHIP: GOREVILLE 17, SOMONAUK 7

Somonauk gives up 17 runs in last 2 innings to lose state title By JASON ELLIS

sports@daily-chronicle.com PEORIA – The Bobcats of Somonauk headed home with a second- place trophy after a historic 17-7 loss. “They were starting to hit him (Nate Wegener), so I went to Nolan (Wegener). He is a kid that can hit his spots and throws hard and we thought that would get it done,” Somonauk coach Troy Felton said. “We went down the line making those changes and threw the kitchen sink at them and they just kept figuring it out.” The Bobcats (24-7) started the game with a single by senior Clint Rader, who was driven in by a oneout double by junior Johnny Johnson to give the team the early lead. After adding three runs in the second inning, Somonauk added three more in the fourth, highlighted by a two-run double by Rader

who went 3-for-3 in the game. Trailing 7-0 going into the bottom of the fourth, Goreville took advantage of an error by second baseman Andy Jackson with two outs and a runner on first. The Blackcats then trimmed the lead to 7-3 when Blaine Dunning hit a tworun double. The wheels completely came off in the bottom of the fifth, when Goreville’s first seven batters reached base, including three singles and two doubles. The Blackcats sent 18 batters to the plate in the bottom of the fifth scoring 14 runs on 10 hits. The 14 runs is a state title game record for most runs in an inning, and the 17 runs in the game is the most by a team in the championship game in 1A history and the most since the IHSA went to a four-class system. “Its crazy. Last time I saw that my kid was playing little league. I told the kids to just keep swing-

ing,” said Goreville coach Shawn Trip. “I told them, ‘Hey, we just got to score a couple and it could happen.’ ” The second-place trophy for Somonauk is the first trophy in the school’s history for baseball. “When the smoke clears and you wake up in the morning, you think, ‘Hey, we did something special that a lot of people don’t get the chance to do,’ ” Felton said about the team’s accomplishments this year. The Bobcats only lose two players to graduation: Rader and Jacob Kenyan. They will return star starting pitcher Johnny Johnson and catcher Andrew Johnson and many of their key players who helped the team this year. Somonauk will look to return to the state tournament next year, but it may have to be in Class 2A as it is expecting to move up because of its enrollment.

BELVIDERE – The DeKalb softball team scored five runs in the first inning en route to capturing the Belvidere North Sectional championship Saturday as they beat Barrington, 9-6. The Barbs jumped on Barrington early, scoring five runs and batting around in the first inning, forcing two pitching changes in the first inning. After getting out of the top of the second unscathed, the Barbs were able to add two more runs. When it was all said and done, Barbs hitters were 13 for 26 for the day, a .500 clip. Barbs coach Jeff Davis said he knew his team could hit, but didn’t expect such a barrage. “We scouted this pitcher and thought we had a favorable matchup,” Davis said. To come out and be up 7-0 after two innings is just huge.” Leading the offensive charge for the Barbs was freshman second baseman Mallory Warner, who was 4 for 4 with three singles, a double, two runs batted in and three runs scored. The freshman said nerves never entered the equation. “I thought I would be nervous when I got up there but I didn’t feel the pressure,” Warner said. “I just got up there and saw the ball well and hit it hard.”

Barrington scored three runs, two of which were unearned, to bring the go ahead run to the plate with bases loaded and two outs. Newport threw the last of her many brilliant changeups in the game for the final strike to seal the deal for the Barbs, giving them a 9-6 victory. Newport threw 112 pitches over seven innings, 78 of them for strikes. She amassed 10 strikeouts to only three walks and a hit by pitch. She allowed 10 hits and gave up six runs, only two of which were earned. Not only did the Barbs win a sectional title in the afternoon, DeKalb High School had its graduation ceremony Saturday morning. In the midst of all that was going on, graduated senior pitcher Newport said she and her teammates were not fazed by all of the events before the game. “We were really focused today,” Newport said. “We knew what today was about and we knew what we had to do to get the job done.” The Barbs planned to practice Sunday and travel to Barrington on Monday for their supersectional matchup against Zion-Benton. Davis said he isn’t going to change anything in preparing for this game. “We’re gonna watch film and practice just like we always do,” Davis said. “Hopefully, it will pay off Monday.”

22 DIAMONDBACKS 3, CUBS 2

Arrieta’s win streak ends at 20, Diamondbacks beat Cubs By ANDREW SELIGMAN The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Jake Arrieta had been winning at such a remarkable rate it was almost jarring to see the reigning NL Cy Young Award winner lose a game. Yes, it finally happened. Arrieta’s franchise-record streak ended at 20 wins when Patrick Corbin and the struggling Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Cubs, 3-2, on Sunday. “Well, it was a good run,” Arrieta said. One that stretched over 24 regular-season starts since he took the loss in Cole Hamels’ no-hitter for Philadelphia at Wrigley Field on July 25. Arrieta did lose to the New York Mets in the NL Championship Series last season and was 2-1 in the playoffs. Arrieta (9-1) lasted five innings this time, allowing three runs and nine hits. He threw 108 pitches and struck out a season-high 12 while walking one. The Cubs lost for only the second time in 12 games and finished 8-2 on their homestand. Both losses came in starts by Arrieta after they won 23 in a row with him on the mound. “Obviously, Jake is a human. He’s going to give it up sometimes,” catcher Miguel Montero said.

Cubs starter Jake Arrieta delivers a pitch during the first inning Sunday against the Arizona Diamondbacks in Chicago. Arrieta, however, had been unbeatable during a historic run that placed him among the game’s best. The 20 consecutive winning decisions tied him with Roger Clemens (1998-99) for thirdmost in the majors since 1913.

The Diamondbacks – who struck out a franchise record-tying 18 times – took a patient approach at the plate and wound up with hits nine of the 10 times they put the ball in play against Arrieta. Corbin (3-5) went seven innings to

lead Arizona to its second victory in seven games. The left-hander gave up two runs and five hits, struck out five and did not walk a batter. “Everyone knows about his (Arrieta’s) story,” Corbin said. “It’s tough to go out there and face a guy like that. It’s going to be tough. The team got a couple of runs early, which helped, and was able to keep them off the board just enough.” Tyler Clippard pitched the eighth and Brad Ziegler worked the ninth for his 39th consecutive save and 11th this season. He walked pinch-hitter Anthony Rizzo with two outs before retiring Montero on a groundout. Chris Hermann had three hits and scored a run for Arizona. Yasmany Tomas hit a two-run double and Paul Goldschmidt added an RBI single as the Diamondbacks avoided a three-game sweep. Javier Baez hit a solo homer for the Cubs in the sixth. Cubs manager Joe Maddon was ejected for the first time this season in the seventh after Trevor Cahill walked Goldschmidt on a 3-2 pitch with two outs. The Cubs thought Goldschmidt swung and appealed to first base umpire Tripp Gibson. When Goldschmidt was awarded first, Cahill threw his arms up in disgust and Maddon came out to argue.

TIGERS 5, WHITE SOX 2

Verlander’s 7 innings, defense lead Tigers to sweep of White Sox By DAVE HOGG

The Associated Press DETROIT – Justin Verlander pitched himself out of a third-inning jam Sunday. Two innings later, he was happy to escape another with the help of his defense. He went seven strong innings as the Detroit Tigers swept the White Sox with a 5-2 victory Sunday. Alex Avila, who has caught more of Verlander’s starts than any other player, opened the third with a walk and took third on Tyler Saladino’s double. Verlander, however, got Adam Eaton to tap back to the mound before striking out Jason Coats and Jose Abreu to end the inning. “That early in the game, you just don’t want to do something stupid,” Verlander said. “You can’t take the mindset that you are going to throw perfect pitches and end up with a disaster on your hands. I just kept making my pitches and got out of it without any damage.” The Tigers took advantage in the bottom half, with Cameron Maybin

drawing a two-out walk and scoring on Miguel Cabrera’s double. Two innings later, things played out even better for Detroit. Tigers shortstop Jose Iglesias saved Verlander in the top of the fifth, making a diving stop of Saladino’s one-out grounder to hold Jimmy Rollins at third. James McCann then grabbed Eaton’s bunt and threw him out at first to end the inning. “That was a massive play by Iggy on Saladino, and then McCann makes a huge play a few seconds later,” Verlander said. “Those two guys deserve the credit for getting me out of that one.” Jose Quintana walked J.D. Martinez with the bases loaded to make it 2-1 in the bottom half and Nick Castellanos followed with an RBI single. Justin Upton drove a 3-0 fastball into the left field corner for a two-run double that ended Carlos Quintana’s day. Upton came into the game hitting .214 and had been dropped to seventh in manager Brad Ausmus’ batting order. “He said that he’d been feeling better the last couple days, so I figured I’d

giving him a shot at a pitch like that. Hopefully, this will help.” Detroit came into the series having lost eight of its last 10 games against left-handed starters, but beat a trio of White Sox lefties: Carlos Rodon, Chris Sale and Quintana. “We knew we were going to hit lefties better than we have, especially with our lineup, but this was big,” Ausmus said. “Rodon’s a younger guy, but he’s got great upside, and Sale and Quintana are two of the best lefty starters in the game today.” Verlander (5-5) allowed homers to Abreu and Todd Frazier, but only gave up five hits and a walk while striking out eight. Shane Greene and Francisco Rodriguez finished, with Rodriguez picking up his 15th save. Quintana (5-6) took the loss, allowing a season-high five runs on nine hits and three walks in 42/3 innings. It was the first time he didn’t finish five innings. “I have a lot of confidence in all of my pitches right now, but I just missed my spot a couple times today,” he said.

head injury. The NBA said Love experienced dizziness early in the second half and left for the locker room to be re-examined, then was placed in the NBA’s concussion protocol. The league said he didn’t exhibit any symptoms before then, even after taking an elbow to the back of the head from Harrison Barnes in the second quarter and going down for several minutes before returning after a timeout. He made a baseline 3-pointer for the Cavs’ first basket in nearly 5½ minutes. After a scoreless first quarter when he missed all five shots but had five assists, James scored 14 of his 19 points in the second and also finished with nine assists and eight rebounds. James’ teams had won nine straight

After Curry and Thompson combined for only 20 points in Thursday’s 104-89 Game 1 win on 8-for-27 shooting and the bench carried the load, they each hit four 3-pointers and went 13 for 24. Leandro Barbosa had three straight transition layups in the third quarter and scored 10 points for his first backto-back postseason games in double figures since 2008. The Warriors’ 87 victories combined from their record 73-win regular season and the playoffs matched the 1995-96 Bulls, the group Golden State topped for the most regular-season victories in NBA history.

OAKLAND, Calif. – The repeat championship Golden State has spoken of since the very start more than eight months ago is suddenly two wins from becoming reality. That’s the only way the Warriors’ record-setting season will feel right. They certainly look unstoppable. Draymond Green flexed his bulging biceps with big plays on both ends of the floor all night for 28 points, seven rebounds and five assists, while MVP Stephen Curry scored 18 points despite foul trouble, and Golden State thoroughly overwhelmed the Cleveland Cavaliers 110-77 in Game 2 of the NBA Finals on Sunday night.

Once the Splash Brothers found their shooting touch, Cleveland couldn’t keep up. Klay Thompson got hot after halftime to finish with 17 points and five assists as Golden State became the first team to go ahead 2-0 in the finals since the Lakers in 2009 against Orlando. “What we’ve done the last few years, everybody, every night has an impact,” Curry said. “You don’t know where it’s going to come from any given night. We’ve got to keep our focus and our edge and hopefully get two more.” Now, the series shifts to Cleveland, and LeBron James and the Cavs must show up for Game 3 on Wednesday in front of their title-starved fans down 2-0 to the defending champs and with forward Kevin Love dealing with a

Don’t flush unused medication Dear Dr. K: I’ve heard some people dump their unused medicines into the sink or toilet, which then gets into our drinking water. Is this true, and could it affect my health? Dear Reader: Unfortunately, it’s true. There is increasing concern about chemicals from unused medications making their way into our drinking water. Drugs can get into the water in a variety of ways. As you say, some people flush unused or expired drugs down the toilet or pour them down the drain. More surprising, some nursing homes and hospitals do the same. Drug manufacturing facilities contribute to pharmaceutical pollution. Agricultural waste is another issue of growing importance. Poultry and livestock often are given antibiotic- and hormone-laced feed. Sewage treatment plants and water treatment facilities remove live bacteria and many impurities from our drinking water, but they are not designed to remove pharmaceuticals. As a result, some pharmaceutical pollution does wind up in the water we drink. So far, only trace amounts of drugs have been found in drinking water, far below levels thought to affect humans. It’s possible that ingesting even tiny amounts of these drugs could, over time, affect our health. But for now, there’s no evidence that drugs in the water are harming us. The drugs we pour down the drain, however, could be affecting fish. For example, water sources polluted with estrogen and estrogen-like chemicals (from birth control pills and hormone treatments) contain more fish of ambiguous sex. They have both male and female characteristics – when they should have only one or the other. The impact of this on fish breeding is unclear. New guidelines encourage responsible drug disposal for hospitals and nursing

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff homes. And we can do our part as well: • Limit bulk purchases. Big bottles of expired pills are more likely to end up in the water. • Do not flush unused medicines or pour them down the drain. This is the most basic thing we all can, and should, avoid. Instead, throw medications into the trash. Medications disposed of this way are incinerated or buried in landfills. This isn’t ideal, but it’s preferable to flushing or pouring them down the drain. • Better yet, use drug take-back programs. These programs allow you to drop off unused medications at specified locations in your community. Drug takeback programs are organized by state and local governments and also by private institutions, including pharmacy chains. There are nearly 6,000 locations around the United States. While we don’t know of any harm to humans from the current low levels of old drugs in our drinking water, the truth is that we can’t be sure there is no harm. That’s why I urge my patients to use these programs. It’s just one of many ways to help your fellow human beings, and also the fish! I’ll close as I often do: The reason we don’t have better answers about the dangers of medicines getting into the water supply is because we’re not investing in the research needed to find out. • Write to Dr. Komaroff at askdoctork. com, or write: Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

DEAR ABBY have been with my husband for Jeanne 28 years. During Phillips our first year of marriage, I caught him making out with an old classmate of mine. He assured me it was only that and nothing else, so I decided to work through it. We have five beautiful children now, and I’m not sure why I brought up that episode, but when I did I came to find out that he did, in fact, have sex with her. He swears it was that one and only time. I can’t find it in my heart to believe him after he held on to this lie for all these years. I would have never given him a second chance had I known back then. I would have moved on with my life. We still have two little ones to raise, but I feel as torn and heartbroken as if it happened yesterday. He’s a great father to our children and has been a wonderful husband, but is that enough anymore? – Salted Heart Dear Salted Heart: Your husband most likely realized that if he told you the truth about his fling when it happened, the marriage would be over, which is why he lied. You have had 28 happy years of marriage to someone you say is a great father and wonderful husband. I can understand why you are upset, but think rationally. If marriage counseling would make you feel better, please go for it and forgive him. To throw away everything you and your husband have invested in this marriage over something that happened almost three decades ago would be foolish, and you will regret it. Dear Abby: I had a color and haircut and gave the stylist a generous tip. When I got home I noticed that one side was uneven, so I called the owner of the shop, who told me to return the next day and they would fix the problem. No charge. I returned, and another stylist corrected the problem. I asked again about the charge and the owner repeated, “No charge.” I didn’t tip the second person as I had tipped the first one after paying for the color/cut. As I was leaving the salon, I overheard another salon worker ask the employee who had fixed my hair, “Did she not give you a tip?” Given the original expense, I didn’t feel another tip was warranted. Did I do the right thing? – No Tip In Pennsylvania Dear No Tip: You should have given the second stylist a tip. The salon owner told you the SERVICE was free, but the second stylist should not have been punished for the sloppy work of the first one. Dear Abby: My brother is getting married the same day and time that my wife graduates from college. The wedding date has been set for a year and a half. My wife found out a few months ago that there would be a conflict. I’m expected to be at my brother’s wedding to escort my mom down the aisle. Which do I attend? – Can’t Be In

He might have gambled with one no-trump, treating the singleton king as if it were king-doubleton (not a bad plan), but two spades was still preferable. (He couldn’t rebid two hearts, because that would have been a reverse and promised at least 17 points. Also, two diamonds would have been poor with such an unimpressive five-card suit.) Declarer has five possible losers: two spades (if they break 4-0), one heart and two diamonds. If trumps are 2-2, there is no problem, but if they are 3-1, South must guess diamonds correctly. So, declarer cashes the top trumps to learn that he has a loser there. Then, before turning to diamonds, he should find out who holds the heart ace by playing on that suit. Here, West produces the ace and exits safely with a heart. Who has the diamond ace? It must be East because West has already produced nine points: the Why look far and wide for the best local talent?
