Rover moves over, but ...

My husband travels quite a bit for business. During our first years of marriage, I was very lonely when he left. Most of the time, I didn’t know what to do with myself. Many folks thought I should just have a baby, but we had different plans. Before we had kids, my husband and I decided to get not only one “fur baby” but two. Our two fur babies were my world. I even gave them middle names. Brady Marini is a Labrador mix rescue. Sox Chello is an English Labrador rescue. I was over the moon to have company. We would run together, walk together and play fetch. No judging, but I would talk and cuddle with them as well. They made my loneliness slowly fade away. After six years of marriage, we decided to try for a baby. Graciously, conception happened right away. At showers, family and friends would say when the baby arrives, our fur babies would be secondary. The saying, “move over, Rover,” was uttered often. I would snicker and think to myself, “not my Brady and Sox. I am going to be the best human mom and fur mom ever!” I hate to admit it, but my family and friends were right. When my 9 pounds of pure loving was put into my arms, I was wrapped around her finger. From that moment on, Brady and Sox had to move over. They are not my No. 1 priority. Of course, I feel guilty about this, but I am a working mom now to a typical 21/2-year-old. We call Hannah Jo “Inspector Gadget,” from the cartoon series of the 1980s. She is also known to raid the refrigerator, write on walls

CHEEKY MAMA Becca Hirst

and for some reason loves to wash her hands. Hannah Jo demands a lot of our attention, so unfortunately, our fur babies don’t get as much as they should. The other day was a complete guilt-tripping experience. As I was carrying a load of laundry up the stairs, Brady and Sox were in tow. Brady ran up ahead of me. I caught a glimpse of something white and shiny on his shoulder. I dropped the laundry basket to run to his aid. I touched it, smelled it and to my relief it was just lotion. Sox had the same fate. I wondered how long it had been there. And if they licked any of it. Of course I smelled their breath and gave them a bath. Besides having their egos crushed, they were perfectly OK. Hannah Jo was the culprit. She must have lathered my fur babies with lotion while I was just getting the laundry out of the dryer. It only takes two minutes. Buttered-up fur babies are the consequences of turning my head for a minute. I wonder whether Hannah Jo would have been buttered up as well if I had turned my head for five minutes.

A CLOSER LOOK

Classes dismissed at D-428’s last building without air conditioning By RHONDA GILLESPIE

rgillespie@shawmedia.com DeKALB – It got too hot for students and staff at Lincoln Elementary School on Tuesday, and with more hot weather in the forecast Wednesday, classes there are canceled. “We just happen to be a building that does not have air conditioning at this time, due to funds,” Lincoln Principal Jennifer Tallitsch said. “For our students, because we do not have air conditioning, it’s too hot.” Class will continue as normal at other buildings in DeKalb School District 428. Air temperatures outside reached 90 degrees by Tuesday afternoon, with a heat index at least 10 degrees higher, according to the National Weather Service. Temperatures inside the school soared, and the box fans whirling in classroom windows couldn’t do the job. “If you’ve got fans pushing around 90-degree, 90 percent humidity air, it’s not doing anything,” District 428 Superintendent Doug Moeller said. Shortly after noon Tuesday, the principal said she followed protocol and notified district administrators about conditions in the building, located at 220 Sunset Place. About 1 p.m., she received the green light to allow the school’s 290 children to go home early. Using the school district’s mass communication system of calling, emailing and text messaging, Tallitsch said she began by 2 p.m. to notify parents that they could pick up their children – although it wasn’t mandatory – and that there would be no school Wednesday. Tallitsch said that she and district officials looked at the forecast for Wednesday, and with predictions that it could be as hot as Tuesday, a decision was made to cancel school. The decision was made “in the best interest of our students,” she said. “It’s no different than if it were a snow day or it was too cold to come to school.” Teachers will be working Wednesday, Tallitsch said, although they will have the option to work in one of several places where air conditioning is available, including at the district office at 901 S. Fourth St. By the time word reached Rich Egel on Tuesday, he was already

The school closed early because of excessive heat. en route to pick up his daughter, a first-grader at the school. Egel said he supported the decision to let the kids go home early, because of the overly warm classroom conditions, but felt the district should hasten plans to upgrade the 58-year-old building. “This should be a wake-up call to the board of education to finally air-condition this building,” Egel said. “It’s a safety issue. It’s a health issue. We should not be putting our students in a position where their health is at risk. There’s no question about it.” School buses pulled up to the school in time for the normal 3:30 p.m. dismissal time Tuesday. However, many of them drove off half-empty because many parents picked up their children early, Tallitsch said. Carol Lee Duffin, parent of a Lin-

coln School first-grader, is among a number of parents who say they would have preferred the school district spend money outfitting Lincoln with air conditioning instead of handing out Chromebooks to students. The district spent $1.4 million for the 2015-16 school year on what it called one-to-one technology that included giving third- through ninthgrade students the Google-based laptops. Starting this year, the district is budgeted to spend $1.6 million more expanding the program so that all of the high school students receive the devices. Three years ago, five elementary schools in the district had to dismiss students early because of the heat. At that time, those school buildings had partial or no air conditioning. Now, Lincoln is the only one still without

a cooling system. Moeller said that Founders Elementary was able to get air conditioning installed over the summer because the school building had infrastructure in place that made it less work to have it put in. Also, Moeller said, money for it came from the school being in a tax increment financing district. “That’s not the case with Lincoln,” Moeller said about Lincoln, compared with Founders. He said installing a cooling system at Lincoln would be “very expensive. About a million to a million-and-a-half [dollars].” He said window air-conditioning units could not be installed in each classroom, as they are in the principal’s and nurse’s offices, because the electrical system could not handle that load.

Power company to make good on billing error 5,800 DeKalb customers overcharged by Homefield Energy for electricity since July By ERIC R. OLSON

eolson@shawmedia.com DeKALB – A power supplier plans to reimburse 5,800 residential and business customers in the city after overbilling them for electricity since July 1, officials said Tuesday. Under an electrical aggregation contract City Council members approved in March 2014 with electric supplier Homefield Energy, power rates for customers in the DeKalb city limits were supposed to decrease by 4.3 percent beginning July 1. However, the company did not enter the change into its billing system, and customers were billed at the previous rate of 7.237 cents a kilowatt hour, rather than the contractually required 6.927 cents a kilowatt hour. Electric bills were issued by ComEd, which delivers electricity to customers, but Homefield is the supplier. A spokesman for Houston-based Dynegy Inc., which owns Homefield, said the error was a mistake on the

company’s part that would be corrected going forward. “We take full responsibility for this error and sincerely regret any inconvenience this has caused the city of DeKalb and its program participants,” Dynegy spokesman David Onufer wrote in an email to the Daily Chronicle. “The billing issue has already been corrected as of [Tuesday] and residents will be billed properly going forward. “We are in the process of calculating the refunds and determining the best way to issue (the refunds), either directly to residents or through bill credits.” DeKalb Mayor John Rey said a couple of customers brought the issue to his attention over the Labor Day weekend, and Tuesday, Public Works Director Tim Holdeman set to work trying to address the problem. “I’m disappointed that Homefield Energy wouldn’t be monitoring those rates more closely,” Rey said. “... We will certainly look into what legal recourse the contract will provide the

city and our consumers.” Holdeman said the amount that customers were overbilled would vary based on when their meter readings were taken, as not all customers are on identical billing cycles. “That’s a complexity in the system because not everybody has their meter read at the same time,” he said, “So that’s something we have to work through.” The city negotiated the agreement on behalf of residents and small-business customers in 2014. The new prices marked a 55 percent increase over the rates that customers had paid under the first contract. All residential and small-business customers were automatically covered by the agreement unless they specifically opted out, according to Dynegy’s website. Holdeman said he was glad that residents were paying attention to their electric bills and notified local officials. The problem was in the process of being solved within hours of

officials first learning of it Tuesday, he said. He said that although the agreement was negotiated by the city on behalf of local customers, in the end it was an agreement between a company and its customers and there wasn’t an effective way for city officials to police it. “We would not be able to monitor all 5,800 accounts that are going out as a ComEd bill,” Holdeman said. “I’m not sure that would even be legal.” Rey said he agreed with Holdeman’s conclusion that the city would have a hard time ensuring Homefield’s compliance with the agreement. As to whether electrical aggregation agreements are still a good deal for customers, Rey said the city’s role was to negotiate an aggregate agreement, with individual customers deciding whether it made financial sense for them. “A consumer would have to make that judgment on their own,” Rey said.

Sycamore police roadblock leads to 27 arrests, citations Next step in traffic safety plan is for increased presence on Peace Road, chief says By ERIC R. OLSON

eolson@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – A weekend roadside safety check on Route 23 north of Coltonville Road didn’t find anyone driving under the influence, but did lead to 27 total citations and arrests, police reported Tuesday. The checkpoint was a joint operation of Sycamore police and Illinois State Police, and was funded through a grant from the Illinois Department of Transportation. During the operation, police stopped drivers at random from late Friday into early Saturday. Police issued citations for 12 drug- and alcohol-related violations,

ticketed seven drivers without insurance, and wrote a ticket for a person not wearing a seat belt, according to a news release from the Illinois State Police. Glenn The drug and alcohol Theriault violations were for infractions such as marijuana possession – which is a $250 fine in Sycamore – and illegal transportation of alcohol. It was the second checkpoint that local police and state troopers have conducted in that area in the past year. A December 2015 operation led to 24 arrests and citations, including

one DUI arrest. Sycamore Police Chief Glenn Theriault said the roadside checks are required to follow a pattern. At the most recent one, officers would stop 10 cars at a time, then reopen the road to traffic. Once all 10 cars had cleared the inspection lanes, they stopped another group of 10, Theriault said. About 10 percent of vehicles stopped that night had some type of violation, Theriault said. The safety checks are just part of the department’s effort to improve traffic safety in Sycamore, which Theriault said was among his goals when he took over as chief in January

2015. The next phase of the plan will involve an increased police presence along Peace Road, and not just at intersections, Theriault said. Sycamore officers will be spending more of their time along the high-speed road, which has some of the highest traffic counts and most vehicle accidents in the city. “We’re going to try to drive down the accident rate, not just at intersections … but also leading up to it as well,” Theriault said. “We know that people who are speeding are most likely to get into accidents. We’re going to focus all up and down the roadway in an attempt to really make citizens safer.”

Class 2 felony, DePaepe could face three to seven years in prison. Motorists reported DePaepe’s driving to the Illinois State Police shortly before 10 a.m. Sunday. An ISP trooper reported that he saw the tan Chevrolet swerving and crossing over the center line and fog line, according to court records. After pulling DePaepe over at the westbound exit ramp to the DeKalb Oasis on Interstate 88, the trooper could smell alcohol and noticed glassy eyes and slurred speech. When asked how much he had had

to drink, DePaepe responded “too much.” He further told the trooper that his Mountain Dew bottle contained vodka, according to court reports. Assistant State’s Attorney Alesandra Friend told Chief Judge Robbin Stuckert that it was DePaepe’s fifth drunken-driving arrest and asked that bond be set at $50,000. Friend said some of DePaepe’s prior drunken-driving arrests ended with convictions of lesser crimes. The judge set bond at $5,000. She also ordered DePaepe not to drink alcohol

and told him that he would be fitted with Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitoring bracelet. The man’s wife, who wasn’t identified in court, said she would post the $500 needed for his release from the DeKalb County Jail and promised the judge she would drive him the two hours from Bettendorf, Iowa, to Sycamore for each court appearance. Jail officials said DePaepe remained in custody as of Tuesday afternoon awaiting the SCRAM bracelet. – Brett Rowland

STATE

By DON BABWIN

The Associated Press CHICAGO – Thirteen people were shot to death over the Labor Day weekend in Chicago, making it the deadliest holiday weekend of one of the deadliest summers the city has experienced in decades. The police department also said the 13 were among 43 people who were shot over the weekend. Among those was a pregnant woman who delivered a nearly full-term baby after she was shot in the abdomen. The woman, whom police said was not the intended target, was listed in critical condition Tuesday. The infant’s condition has not been released. The holiday weekend slayings come amid a dramatic spike in homicides. The department also said the weekend slayings pushed to 488 the total of slayings for the year – surpass-

Nearly 230 homicides occurred in June, July and August – during which the city had 90 homicides, making it the deadliest single month in Chicago since June 1996. Last week, the police department said it had officially increased the total of 2015 homicides to 481 from 473. Spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said the number increased to include victims who were shot in 2015 but who died this year, and because in some cases, death investigations had been upgraded to homicide investigations.

The number of shootings and homicides over the Labor Day weekend were both higher than the Memorial Day and July 4 weekends and it was the last of the summer holidays before the school year started Tuesday. The nine homicides that happened Monday alone was one more for the entire Labor Day weekend last year. Police have said the reasons for the increase in homicides are tied to the easy availability of guns and gang violence. And Superintendent Eddie Johnson, as he has done in the past, said that much of the gun violence is the result of lax gun laws in

Illinois deputies find missing 6-foot rooster sculpture

MOWEAQUA – A 6-foot, 300-pound steel rooster that disappeared from a central Illinois front yard has been found, but the mystery of who nabbed the sculpture remains unsolved. The (Decatur) Herald & Review reported Melanie and Darrell Hall of Moweaqua discovered their rooster missing in June. The roadside artwork had worn costumes for Halloween and school colors to support the teams of Central A&M High. His even had a name: Ruben. A tip led the Christian County Sheriff’s Office to a creek 5 miles from the Halls’ farmhouse. They found the rooster in pieces and submerged. A welder and a body shop are making repairs. The Halls have posted signs in their yard to answer questions from fans. One recent sign reads: “Ruben requires orthopedic and cosmetic surgery; will return.” – Wire reports

Candidates trade barbs over national security The ASSOCIATED PRESS TAMPA, Fla. – Hillary Clinton accused Donald Trump of insulting America’s veterans and pressing dangerous military plans around the globe on Tuesday, seeking to undercut his appeal to service families in Southern voting battlegrounds. Trump declared “our country is going to hell” because of policies she would make even worse. Clinton, addressing supporters in Florida, warned that Trump would lead the nation back to war in the Middle East. And to military vets and their families, she pointed anew to his summertime dustup with the Muslim parents of a slain American soldier. “His whole campaign has been one long insult to all those who have worn the uniform,” the Democratic nominee said at the University of South Florida in Tampa. Republican Trump, trying to emphasize his military support, released a letter from 88 retired generals and admirals citing an urgent need for a “course correction” in America’s national security policy. It was aimed at rebutting Clinton’s arguments that she would be best positioned to lead the military and reassuring Republicans who have openly worried that his provocative statements might undermine U.S. alliances. “We believe that such a change can only be made by someone who has not been deeply involved with, and substantially responsible for, the hollowing out of our military and the burgeoning threats facing our country around the world,” the military leaders wrote. “For this reason, we support Donald Trump’s candidacy to be our next commander in chief.” Clinton pushed back, saying Trump has lagged in securing key military supporters compared with past Republican nominees including John

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton speaks Tuesday at a rally at the University of South Florida in Tampa, Fla. McCain and Mitt Romney. She pointed to her endorsements from retired Marine Gen. John Allen, who blasted Trump at the Democratic National Committee, and former CIA deputy director Mike Morell. “They know they can count on me to be the kind of commander in chief who will protect our country and our troops, and they know they cannot count on Donald Trump,” Clinton said en route to Florida. “They view him as a danger and a risk.” The conflicting messages came as the candidates prepared to appear at an MSNBC forum Wednesday night on national security. While they will appear separately and not be on stage at the same time, it could serve as a warm-up to their highly anticipated first presidential debate on Sept. 26 in New York. Campaigning in Virginia Beach, Virginia, Trump vowed to take aggressive action to help veterans at home and confront threats abroad including acts of terrorism from the Islamic State group. He was questioned by retired Gen. Michael Flynn, the former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency who is a strong supporter. “We are going to solve the ISIS problem,” Trump said.

“But we have to get back to building our country, because our country is going to hell.” Trump promised to fix problems at the Veterans Administration, which has grappled with patient care mismanagement during the Obama administration. Until those problems are resolved, he said he would allow veterans to seek treatment at private doctors or hospitals free of charge. “Your government is going to pay your bill,” he pledged. Clinton’s message was amplified by her running mate, Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine, who promoted his own foreign policy credentials in a speech in Wilmington, North Carolina. Kaine said Trump is misleading voters on his foreign policy views, asserting he was against invading Iraq despite statements to several news outlets at the time indicating otherwise. Kaine, who noted his own son’s service in the Marine Corps, is a member of both the Senate Armed Services and Foreign Relations committees. Meanwhile, Clinton’s campaign released a new television ad titled, “Sacrifice,” that shows military veterans watching some of the New York businessman’s more provocative statements.

NEW YORK – Former Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson settled her sexual harassment lawsuit against Roger Ailes for a reported $20 million and a public apology Tuesday, ending the case that triggered the downfall of the cable channel’s chief executive. Carlson alleged in a lawsuit filed two months ago that she was demoted and let go at Fox because she rejected Ailes’ sexual advances and complained about workplace harassment. In a statement, Fox Gretchen parent company 21st Carlson Century Fox said: “We regret and apologize for the fact that Gretchen was not treated with the respect and dignity that she and all of our colleagues deserve.” Carlson was paid $20 million, according to a person familiar with the settlement who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the terms were confidential. Ailes did not pay any of

the settlement, said his lawyer, Susan Estrich. Carlson said she is ready to move on to the next chapter in her life and promised to work to help women in the workplace. She thanked “all the brave women” who came forward to tell their own stories and others who supported her. “All women deserve a dignified and respectful workplace,” she said. Ailes, 76, denied Carlson’s allegations when the lawsuit was filed. He had no comment Tuesday. Also Tuesday, Fox News announced the surprise departure of Roger Ailes Greta Van Susteren from a nighttime lineup that has been one of the most successful and stable in cable news. Van Susteren, who would have marked 15 years with the network in January, said on Facebook that Fox “has not felt like home to me for a few years.” She did not elaborate. She has been temporarily replaced by Brit Hume.

Can coal survive?

When Southern Illinois youngsters of past generations sat on their mothers’ knees and listened to nursery rhymes, they probably heard “Old King Coal.” It would have been an honest mistake. Coal was the foundation of the Southern Illinois economy for generations. That’s patently obvious even to outsiders touring the region for the first time. It’s difficult to drive anywhere in Southern Illinois without seeing a strip mine, abandoned coal silos or the remnants of a tipple. Heck, even a couple of our state parks are located on former coal mines. This brief look into the past is necessary to examine the present, and future, of the coal industry in Southern Illinois. There are still numerous active mines throughout the region. Coal loading docks are located on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. Coal trains and trucks laden with coal remain common sights. But, like many industries and businesses today, coal is in transition. Depending on degrees of optimism, the numbers are either encouraging or depressing. In 1990 Illinois miners produced 62 million tons of coal. By 2003 that number had been sliced in half. Last year that number was back up to 56 million tons and is expected to rise this year. What happened? The explanation is much too complex to fit on a “Stop Obama’s War on Coal” bumper sticker. The industry had to adapt to regulations in the Clean Air Act. The availability of cheap natural gas depressed demand. And, creeping gains by alternative energy sources and environmental concerns played a part. Employment numbers produce a similarly complex picture. Illinois employed 10,000 miners in 1990, that number is down to 3,500 now. Yet, the state is pro-

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ducing nearly the same amount of coal with one-third the work force. That illustrates clearly that one part of the coal industry is adapting. Technological advances allow fewer miners to produce more coal more safely than before. What’s more it’s seems clear that the future of the industry depends heavily on the ability to adapt. Does the future of the industry rest with giants such as Peabody Energy? Or, are small companies such as Knight Hawk Coal, based in Percy, the future? Knight Hawk, by all accounts, is a good company to work for. Knight Hawk is a good corporate citizen, supporting area schools and community programs. It started with 15 workers in 1998, serving a niche market. With a solid business plan in place, it now employs about 400 of the 2,200 coal miners currently working south of Interstate 64. Industry leaders tell us there are 35 to 50 years of coal reserves left in the region. Given current technology and emerging Asian and African markets, it is reasonable to assume coal will remain a vital part of the Southern Illinois economy. No crystal ball is absolutely clear, even coal-fired ones. The estimates provided by leaders of the coal industry are based on the current power grid. What happens if technology improves to the point that homes, and even office buildings, begin producing their own energy? Perhaps the most troubling issue surfacing in a recent visit with industry leaders was an admission that little energy is being expended on research and development based on possible future environmental restrictions. The industry needs to remain nimble to remain a viable economic engine for Southern Illinois.

Political correctness stifles free thought The University of Chicago has issued a healthy warning to incoming freshmen: Get over yourselves. At long last, an institution of higher learning is reminding students that they are entering the real world, where people engage and debate and, yes, disagree fervently with each other. University life is supposed to be about the free exchange of ideas. But in recent years, campus life has been smothered by self-appointed thought police who seem bent on enforcing political correctness at all costs. At the University of Missouri last year, assistant professor Melissa Click came to embody that Orwellian view. She stood guard at the perimeter of a public space that protesters had declared a “safe space.” Anyone who didn’t think like them was not allowed in, as if it was their space to control. Despite her role as an instructor in the Department of Communications, her most notable communication tactic was to call in “muscle” to interfere with a journalist covering the protest. The episode underscored how a warped mindset has taken hold at some campuses across the country. Enough, said the University of Chicago. Administrators have correctly decided to take their campus back in the name of free thought. “Once here you will discover that one of the University of Chicago’s defining characteristics is our commitment to freedom of inquiry and expression,” John Ellison, the university’s dean of students, wrote in

a letter to incoming freshmen. “Members of our community are encouraged to speak, write, listen, challenge and learn, without fear of censorship.” Ellison emphasized the ongoing need for civility and mutual respect but warned that in the free exchange of ideas, there will be “rigorous debate, discussion and even disagreement. At times this may challenge you and even cause discomfort.” These very words no doubt made some students uncomfortable. But it got worse: He advised them that the university wouldn’t support the notion of “trigger warnings” – statements alerting readers or viewers about upcoming content that might cause distress. “We do not cancel invited speakers because their topics might prove controversial, and we do not condone the creation of intellectual ‘safe spaces’ where individuals can retreat from ideas and perspectives at odds with their own,” Ellison wrote. Writing in The Atlantic this week, James Madison University religious studies professor Alan Levinovitz noted the concerns of some people that Ellison was playing to “crotchety elites” who have made up a “caricature of today’s college students as coddled and entitled” to hide their fear of empowered students. But no, Levinovitz wrote, the stifling effect of wanton political correctness is real. Students everywhere need to absorb Ellison’s message. Life is a messy feast. Toss gently, serve and enjoy.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

I had decided not to see Nate Parker’s new movie. This was a tough choice. I had been looking forward with great eagerness to the October release of “Birth of a Nation,” Parker’s acclaimed account of Nat Turner’s 1831 slave uprising. But this was before I heard about the rape. Meaning the 1999 rape that Parker, as a matter of legal fact, did not commit when he and his roommate, Jean Celestin, had a sexual encounter with a drunken woman while they were students at Penn State. Parker was acquitted – he said the act was consensual and that they’d had sex previously. Celestin was convicted, but the conviction was overturned. The alleged victim also accused Parker, Celestin and their friends of harassing her when she pressed charges. She dropped out of school and twice attempted suicide. On the third attempt, in 2012, she was successful. All of which was troubling enough. Then came the recent interviews in which Parker addressed the incident. “Seventeen years ago,” he told Variety,

VIEWS Leonard Pitts “I experienced a very painful moment in my life. It resulted in it being litigated. I was cleared of it. That’s that.” Observers were predictably appalled by such self-centered dismissiveness. “The solipsism is staggering,” wrote Roxane Gay of The New York Times. Writing in The Root, Maiysha Kai scored Parker’s “seeming disconnect and lack of empathy.” He has since apologized. And you should know: This was not the nonapology apology so common now for misbehaving celebrities. It was not Donald Trump’s vague “regret” for unspecified sins against unspecified people, nor Ryan Lochte describing his lie as a failure to be “careful and candid.” No, in an interview posted Saturday by Ebony, Parker comes across as a man honestly appalled by his own “selfish” behavior. “I wasn’t thinking about

even the potential hurt of others. I was thinking about myself.” He said he has read his critics’ criticisms to figure out “what do I need to learn about the situation? ... If I’m really serious about changing my attitude ... then what do I need to be feeling?” He confessed that when he initially spoke, he didn’t know his alleged victim had killed herself. “I was acting as if I was the victim,” he said. “... Why didn’t [my words] come off more contrite? Because I wasn’t being contrite. Maybe I was being even arrogant. And learning about her passing shook me. It really did. It really shook me.” “I’m sorry for all the women who are survivors who were hurt by my words,” he said, “because they were insensitive and they were nonchalant.” Parker seems belatedly to realize how little it means that, as a legal matter, he didn’t commit rape. As a legal matter, after all, George Zimmerman didn’t commit murder. Nor did O.J. Simpson. Granted, Parker has reason to sound convincing. He’s trying to save a

movie. On the other hand, Trump was trying to save a presidential run and Lochte, a career. Me, I believe him. I’m just trying to figure out what that should mean. I offer no sophistry about separating art from artist. No such separation exists for any art worthy of the name. If Phil Spector, Bill Cosby and Roman Polanski prove nothing else, they prove human beings and human art are complicated, a latticework of shadow and light. As a man, it’s not my place, nor is it within my power, to absolve Nate Parker. I’m just trying to decide whether to see his movie – whether doing so is consonant with the moral man I try to be. He’s got me thinking about it. That’s more than I could have said a week ago.

To the Editor: The 2016 election is the most critical election that our country has faced in many years. It is important that all Americans vote for the candidate who best represents what America is all about. We all need to elect a president who we would be proud of and one that represents American values. When you listen to the rhetoric of the candidates, the far-left or far-right talk shows, or national organizations that have a specific agenda, you will find a lot of lies and misrepresentation of the truth. All Americans who care for the truth should check out www.FactCheck. org, which is an award-winning public service website that separates the truth from the lies.

figure it out in the second half to string some shots together.” The first 20 minutes of the second half appeared to be the same story for the Spartans until Drew Tronc found the back of the net with 21:29 left in the game. That goal sparked enough momentum for Sycamore to maintain longer possessions and generate shots on the net the rest of the game. Sycamore defender Joseph O’Brien followed up Tronc with a goal of his own off a free kick five minutes later to swing the game in favor of the Spartans. Sycamore sealed the game with 2:29 to play after a misplay by Yorkville keeper Ben Schafermeyer allowed Phillip Maillefer to find the back of the net. “I know it’s repetitive, but I told the guys at halftime to just stop losing pos-

session,” Bachta said. “There are positive and negative touches, and when we have so many negative touches, bad things are going to happen. We do do a lot of position training where we work on which way to pivot after controlling the ball, and I thought we did a better job of that in the second half, but we’re still improving.” After controlling the game for a better part of the afternoon, the first loss of the season for the Foxes left a bad taste in their mouths. “We worked hard today, and that’s never been a question with this team,” Yorkville coach Andrew Johnson said. “We just didn’t capitalize on really decent scoring opportunities, and we didn’t have the sense of urgency on set pieces, which has been a problem this year.”

Barbs fall in straight Comeback win for G-K sets to 10-win Falcons DAILY CHRONICLE

sports@daily-chronicle.com

Boyden, Longeville lead way in defeat By JOHN GALLIONE

sports@daily-chronicle.com DeKALB – The DeKalb volleyball team suffered its first loss of the season Tuesday evening, succumbing to Wheaton North, 25-21, 25-19. DeKalb (2-1) started on the right foot, opening up a 9-2 lead over the Falcons in the first game. After the Falcons called timeout, they went on a 23-12 run to close out the game. Barbs coach Jamie DiMaggio stressed the importance of urgency after the game. “I think that we slowed down a bit,” DiMaggio said. “We have to figure out how to be confident and keep the pressure on in that situation.” Wheaton North (10-3) has been busy in the early part of the season. The Falcons hosted their own invitational last month and played five matches Saturday at the Jacobs Invitational. Although that schedule hasn’t allowed for much practice time, Falcons coach Carole Kristensen said it has seasoned her players. “We’ve had a lot more situational experiences than they have had,” Kristensen said. “We came in not having a

practice in a while, but after the tournament last weekend, I knew that we’d have the right mindset and be ready to go.” Although the Barbs looked a bit out of sorts Tuesday, DiMaggio found positives from individual efforts and knows her team will learn from the loss. “They were very aggressive at the net,” DiMaggio said. “We haven’t seen much of that this season. We’re going work on hitting around blocks while still being aggressive. Our libero, Abby (Boyden), was fantastic tonight, she was all over the floor. JC (Longeville) also played a very good game for us.” Both Longeville and Boyden said they felt more confident in the third match of the season. “I have learned throughout the years that you play for the team and not yourself,” Longeville said. “Experience and practice have really helped my game.” “I felt more confident tonight,” Boyden said. “I knew that Wheaton North was a great team going in and that just makes the drive even harder for me. I think we were excited after that early lead and lost our edge. We should have been pushing harder there.” DeKalb will have a week to practice before starting conference play. The Barbs play host to Kaneland on Sept. 13.

Trailing at halftime, the Genoa-Kingston boys soccer team had a big second half to defeat North Boone, 3-1, Tuesday in Genoa. Oscar Pizano and Damen Tijerina scored back-to-back goals a minute apart – with Jesus Lara assisting on both goals. Lara added the game-sealing goal in the 61st minute off an assist from Leo Marquez. “After we discussed the situation at halftime, the boys came out with a new attitude,” Cogs coach Randy Tate said. “We started getting more possession and attacking as a team, and good results followed. We are a talented team, we just need to play with more intensity and desire for 80 minutes.” The Cogs are 5-2 overall and 3-1 in the Big Northern Conference. Kaneland pulls away in Morris: Brian Bartholomew scored a pair of goals in the second half to help the Knights distance themselves in a 4-1 win at Morris. The Knights (2-3-1, 1-0-1 Northern Illinois Big 12) led 2-1 at halftime after goals from Angel Escontrias and Christian Medrano. Alex Dohm and John McCaffrey each added assists in the win. Barbs fall: DeKalb couldn’t get a goal and lost, 2-0, at Crystal Lake South. The Barbs (2-2-1) play host to Morris at 6 p.m. Thursday.

SYCAMORE – The Sycamore boys soccer team rallied in the second half to a seal a convincing victory over previously undefeated Yorkville, 3-1, Tuesday afternoon. Sycamore (5-3) struggled to maintain possession in the first half, which resulted in zero shots on goal. Sycamore’s lack of offense was a result of Yorkville (5-1-1) midfielders Wyatt

McKibbon and Bailey Kish’s role in dominating the middle of the field. The Foxes forced inaccurate passes and frequent loss of possession in that portion of the field. The mix of defense and constantly pushing the ball up field on offense resulted in a goal from forward Jackson Torok with 18:32 left in the first half for Yorkville. The Foxes finished with six shots on net in the half. “We definitely came out to a slow start,” Sycamore coach David Bachta said. “They were more technical and more tactical than we were. They had us back on our heels, and we were pretty lucky to be down only one goal going into halftime. When we lose the ball with our midfielders and our forwards in the middle of the field, we aren’t very good. Fortunately, we were able to

16 BEARS AT TEXANS, NOON SUNDAY, FOX, AM-780, 105.9-FM

McCaskey likes direction team is going By PATRICK FINLEY

pfinley@suntimes.com George McCaskey walked Ryan Pace around Halas Hall, past the Lombardi Trophy and old footballs and memorabilia. During his general manager job interview in January 2015, Pace complimented the Bears chairman on the treasure trove of photos that captured the greatest moments in Bears history. Then came the zinger. “Most of the photographs are in black and white,” Pace told McCaskey. McCaskey had the same thoughts for years, walking the hallways of the Bears offices. Old faces – players and family members and his grandfather, George Halas – stared back at him from a past era. It was the truth, and McCaskey knew it. That’s why the Bears were looking for a new GM in the first place. “I didn’t say this to him,” McCaskey said, “but I was thinking to myself, ‘When can you start?’ ” In deciding to fire both Phil Emery and Marc Trestman at the same time, McCaskey staked his reputation on the performance of their replacements: Pace and the GM’s hand-picked head

coach, John Fox. McCaskey, though, argues that’s not new. “I feel a responsibility every day to my family, to the people in the building and to Bears fans,” McCaskey told the Sun-Times in a sit-down interview. “They deserve a winner.” One season into the Pace and Fox era – the Bears open Sunday in Houston – McCaskey is confident in the direction of the team despite last year’s last-place finish. George “It’s more a vibe in McCaskey the building than what you saw on the field last year,” he said. “Now we need the vibe in the building to translate into results on the field.” Particularly, Soldier Field. The Bears went 1-7 at home last year, the worst mark in franchise history, and lost all three divisional games at Soldier Field for the first time since the NFC North was created in 2002. “You want to play well at home,” said McCaskey, whose team was outscored 45-7 in two preseason home losses last month. “That’s part of the formula. As Marv Levy, the Hall of Fame

coach, used to say, ‘It’s simple, but it’s not easy.’ “For me, the simple formula is to dominate at home, dominate your division and if you can play .500 ball on the road, you should be in the playoffs. “We didn’t play well at home and we didn’t play well in our division.” McCaskey said “one of the great things about the NFL is you can go from a six-win team one team to a playoff team the next,” but, when asked for his realistic expectation for the Bears, he hedged. “You never know,” he said. “Injuries are such a big question mark. How are individual guys going to perform? How is the team going to come together? At what point are they going to come together? How are they going to handle adversity? Because there’s adversity every season.” He’s excited for Kevin White to be paired alongside Alshon Jeffery in the receiver corps, and to see how newcomers Danny Trevathan, Jerrell Freeman and Akiem Hicks bolster a defense three years removed from its franchise nadir. “We’re going to be better up front,” he said. “I think we’ll do a better job

Gould: No hard feelings By ADAM L. JAHNS

ajahns@suntimes.com Robbie Gould spent the 48 hours after the Bears surprisingly released him mostly on the phone. The best kicker in franchise history had a long list of important people to call and thank as his memorable 11-year run with the Bears ended. It included conversations with owner Virginia McCaskey, chairman George McCaskey and others. The talks provided Gould with opportunities to reminiscence Robbie Gould about the good times. “Those memories and those conversations helped me at a time I didn’t know [my release] was coming,” Gould said in a phone interview Tuesday. “I literally was just trying to come here to try to fulfill a dream. I had zero idea that it would last in one organization for 11 years.” Gould goes out with his head held high and without hard feelings. He appreciated the professionalism of general manager Ryan Pace and coach John Fox. “They called me in late Sunday night, just sat down with me and told me it was about my performance and that they

were going to make decision to go in a different direction,” said Gould, the Bears’ all-time leader in points at 1,207. “I’m not bitter. I’m not mad. I’m not upset. I get the business of football. I’ve been a player (union) rep for nine years, and I understand it. I’ve seen guys come and go. It’s just part of being a player in the NFL.” And he’s not done being one of those players. Teams are vying for his services. “I don’t know where it’s going to be,” said Gould, who is the ninth-most accurate kicker in NFL history. “We have teams and we have options. I’m going through the list of them and figuring out what’s important to me and my family, and what really is the best fit moving forward. “It will be different to put on a different color, for sure. But I’m excited about it. I’m excited for the next opportunity. I think a fresh start will be good for me and my career.” Gould said he believes good things are ahead for the Bears, including new kicker Connor Barth. “I know Connor personally.” Gould said. “He’s a great guy. He’s a great kicker. I think he’ll do well here.” Gould plans to make Chicago his family’s permanent home, and he said he’ll always root for the Bears.

of getting after the quarterback, and that says a lot about whatever success you’re going to have in a particular season.” Still, success is a matter of a perspective. The last time the Bears finished above .500, in 2012, Lovie Smith got fired. Fox and Pace improved the Bears from a 5-11 mess that prompted the Bears’ housecleaning in 2014, but only by one game. They began a roster makeover, however, that figures to take at least another season to round into form. On Opening Day 2014, the Bears were the third-oldest team in the NFL. Last year, they were the 19th-youngest. This season, they’re the 10th-youngest. Although McCaskey doesn’t like to portray those moves as a tear-down – “We don’t like rebuilding; we like building,” he said – only 14 players on the Bears’ 53-man roster were acquired by the previous regime. Since Pace arrived, he’s parted with Pro Bowlers Lance Briggs, Charles Tillman, Jared Allen, Matt Forte, Martellus Bennett and, on Sunday, Robbie Gould.

CUBS NOTES

• PREP ROUNDUP

The Cubs-Brewers and White Sox-Tigers games Tuesday night ended too late for stories to be included this edition. Log onto Daily-Chronicle.com for the stories. But within that system, success within the division can be the difference in a playoff berth. Just ask the Pirates, whose losing record (34-42) in the NL Central last year cost them a division title when they finished in second, only two games behind the Cardinals – then lost to the Cubs in the loser-out wild-card game. The Cubs and Cardinals both went 46-30 in the division last year. “That’s a huge point,” Zobrist said. Not so fast: It didn’t take long for the shine to fade from Cub infield prospect Chesney Young’s second minor league batting title in as many seasons. Soon after his Double-A Tennessee Smokies tweeted his .303 finish at the top of the Southern League batting leaders, it was discovered that Braves prospect Ozzie Albies had won the title despite not having enough at-bats to qualify. Because adding the requisite number of hitless at-bats to Albies’ total still left his average ahead of Young’s, he was awarded the title at .315. Chesney, a former 14th-round draft pick who won the advanced-A Carolina League batting title (.321) in his first full pro season last year, is a projected utility man that team president Theo Epstein called “a magician with a bat in his hand” earlier this season.

MILWAUKEE – Not even the Cubs saw this coming when the season started. “At the start of the season, I would have thought it would have been tighter come this time of the year,” Cubs second baseman Ben Zobrist said. “If you were basing it off last year, you would have said, ‘Man, it’s going to be the same.’ But it hasn’t been the same as last year.” Zobrist is talking about the National League Central race, but in particular the way the Cubs have cleaned up in intra-division play. “It’s the reason why we’re so far ahead,” he said. In fact, for all the history the Cubs are chasing during this best-in-baseball run toward the playoffs, here’s another: Their MLB-leading performance against division rivals is better than any NL Central predecessor since the division play was expanded with the unbalanced schedule in 2001. And with 21 of their final 24 games against the Brewers (five games), Cardinals (six), Reds (six) and Pirates (four), the Cubs have a chance to make a run at the 1995 Reds’ .714 winning percentage (35-14) within the division – the record for the 22-year-old NL Central. Zobrist isn’t a big fan of the unbalanced schedule, in which about half the overall schedule is made up of division foes, he said. In an era of wildcard berths and interleague play, he’d like to see a more evenly distributed schedule.

Struggling Shields vows to keep pitching despite back pain

CHICAGO – White Sox right-hander James Shields vowed Tuesday to stay in the rotation despite back pain and asked for patience from fans amid the worst season of his career. A day after Sox manager Robin Ventura suggested Shields could be shut down, the 11-year veteran said a doctor’s visit produced good news. “Knock on wood, I haven’t missed a start my whole career, and I don’t really plan on it, either,” Shields said. “It’s one of those things where I’m pretty sure I’ll be out there on Saturday.” Shields struggled early in the season with San Diego, even allowing hefty New York Mets pitcher Barolo Colon’s first home run in May. He faced public criticism from Padres executive chairman Ron Fowler, then was dealt to the Sox on June 5.

Besides a six-start stretch in July when he had 1.71 ERA, Shields has been hit hard. He’s 3-10 with a 7.50 ERA in 17 starts with the Sox. He said he’s had off-and-on back pain.

Monfils tops Nadal’s conqueror to reach Open semifinals

Playing steadily, and with only a dose of the spectacular, the 10th-seeded Monfils reached his first major semifinal since 2008 by beating an error-prone Pouille, 6-4, 6-3, 6-3, in a match that concluded under Arthur Ashe Stadium’s retractable roof. – Wire reports

Continued from page 16 “Robbie was a great Bear, a fan favorite, and rightly so,” McCaskey said. “He made so many clutch kicks, it’s hard to pick a favorite.” He cited Gould’s 49-yarder to defeat the Seahawks in overtime, the first playoff victory of the team’s Super Bowl XLI run. “My memories of Robbie will also be of him off the field,” he said. “He always found the young fan that wanted to be recognized or needed someone to talk to and he always made them feel special.” Such turnover is “not pleasant when it’s happening,” McCaskey said, “but you understand it’s part of the process.” He is not involved in the Bears’ personnel decisions.

“That goes back to the autonomy you give your general manager or head coach,” he said. “My job in large measure is to stay out of the way. To be supportive when I can when necessary, to be a sounding board if that’s what they want me to be. “But in terms of personnel decisions, I’m not involved – and Bears fans should feel very good about that.” He’s been impressed with the man he hired to do just that. While Fox has lived up to his reputation as a player’s coach, Pace, he said, holds the same magnetism. “Ryan, in many of the same ways, has whatever it is that people really respond to,” McCaskey said. He first noticed that a year ago January, walking past black-and-white photos. “We’re very proud of our history,” McCaskey said, “but we need to make it.”

By ELIZABETH KARMEL The Associated Press

If you ask a chef what his or her favorite steak is, chances are the answer will be rich, beefy skirt steak. Skirt steak often is associated with Tex-Mex tacos and fajitas, but I grill it year ’round and pair it with everything. It is prized for its flavor, but must be cut against the grain of the meat or it is hard to chew. Many people marinate the skirt steak, but I like to grill it over a medium high heat, about 550 degrees F., seasoned with nothing but olive oil and kosher salt so I taste all of the natural beef flavor. Each cow has two skirt steaks – the inside and the outside, which is the most flavorful. Most grocery stores simply label their skirt steak, “skirt” but if you can find a butcher who offers both, be sure to ask for the outside skirt. This recipe is a nod to skirt steak’s humble roots. The simple tomato and corn salsa cuts the richness of the beef and adds a freshness to the dish. The beer-braised black beans are coarsely mashed with onion and garlic and doused with fresh lime juice just before serving. And the tortillas are optional. You can use whatever tomato you like for the salsa. If it is a regular tomato, cut it into a small dice. If you have small cherry tomatoes, cut them in quarters. The shucked corn is brushed with oil and seasoned simply with salt and placed on the grill to char and blister. Once the corn is marked, it is cut of the cob and added to the tomatoes to make a salsa that really doubles as a side. You can grill the steak and the corn together and assemble the salsa while the meat is resting. Make the beans before you start the salsa and the steak or the steak will get cold while the beans finish cooking.

Grilled Skirt Steak, Beer-Braised Black Beans and Blistered Corn and Tomato Salsa Start to finish: About one hour Serves 4

Beer-Braised Black Beans: Olive oil 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped 1 small white onion, chopped 1 teaspoon ground cumin 2 15-ounces cans black beans, rinsed and drained 1 12-ounce Mexican or domestic beer Juice of one lime

Zest of one lime Chopped fresh cilantro to taste, about 2 tablespoons Blistered Corn and Tomato Salsa: 2 large ripe garden tomato, chopped, or pint grape or cherry tomatoes, washed and cut into quarters 2 ears of corn, shucked and blistered on the grill 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, plus sprigs for garnish Juice of one lime Kosher salt Outside skirt steak (About 1 pound) Kosher salt Olive oil Tortillas, optional About 45 minutes before you want to eat, heat about two tablespoons oil in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add garlic, onions and cumin. Sauté until onions begin to brown. Add beans and beer to sautéed vegetables and cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Coarsely mash beans with the back of a fork. Continue simmering until thick, stirring frequently, about 10 minutes. Keep warm while you grill the meat and

make the salsa. Just before serving, season to taste with lime juice, salt and pepper. Transfer mixture to a bowl. Sprinkle with lime zest and cilantro. Preheat grill with all burners on high and reduce heat to a medium-high direct heat. Brush corn with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Place corn directly on the cooking grates and grill for 3-4 minutes. Turn corn occasionally to roast and blister all sides. Remove from grill to a clean platter. When the corn is cool enough to handle, remove the corn from the cob by standing the cob on end and running a sharp knife down the cob to remove the kernels. Wash and chop the tomatoes into halves or quarters, depending on the size, making sure to reserve all juices. Put tomatoes and juices into a large glass bowl and set aside. Cut blistered corn and add it to the tomatoes, add lime juice a little at a time, tasting and adding until you think the balance of the tomato juice with the lime is right – basically it should taste good without too much of a citrus flavor. Season with salt, stir and toss in the chopped cilantro. Let sit covered – out of the refrigerator until ready to serve. Do not make too far in advance or you will lose the flavors of the fresh cut tomatoes.

Brush steak with olive oil and season steak with about 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt just before placing on the grill. Place meat directly on the cooking grates and grill for 3-4 minutes. Turn steak once halfway through the cooking time. Grill a total of 6-8 minutes for medium rare meat. Remove from grill to a clean platter and let rest for 5-7 minutes before carving across the grain. Serve with the braised black beans, salsa and tortillas, if desired.

Watermelon and Cantaloupe Gazpacho AP photo

Melons come together for pleasing gazpacho By SARA MOULTON The Associated Press

Watermelon and Cantaloupe Gazpacho takes advantage of the wonderful melons that are abundant at this time of year. It’s a refreshing end-of-summer soup. I call it a gazpacho, but I’m using the term very loosely because it makes no use of tomatoes. What puts it within shouting distance of the classic Spanish soup is that it’s served chilled and it’s chunky. There are a few key steps in the making of it. Start by looking for the ripest melons you can find. To achieve the smoothest possible texture, you will need to purée the melon in a blender. No other machine produces so creamy a result. Heat, like acid, is a way to balance sugar, which is why I’ve built some chopped chiles into this recipe. But I also happen to be a fan of the hot stuff. If you’re not, leave them out. However you adjust the flavorings, be sure to serve the finished product chilled.

Watermelon and Cantaloupe Gazpacho

cubes cantaloupe 2½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice 6 cups coarse chunks plus 2 cups small cubes watermelon 2½ tablespoons fresh lime juice 1 cup chopped strawberries 3/4 cup crumbled feta 2 tablespoons shredded mint 1 small jalapeño or serrano, chopped, with seeds and ribs In a blender, purée the coarse chunks of cantaloupe with the lemon juice until very smooth. Transfer to a pitcher and chill at least 3 hours. Rinse out the blender, add the coarse chunks of watermelon and the lime juice and purée until very smooth. Transfer to a pitcher and chill for at least 3 hours. To serve: Pour both soups into each bowl at the same time from opposite sides of the bowl so the soups stay basically on opposite sides. Drop some of the cantaloupe cubes into the cantaloupe half of the soup and some of the watermelon into the watermelon half. Top each portion with some of the strawberries, cheese, mint and chiles.

FAFSA date changes DAILY CHRONICLE Cyndi Stonesifer, director of Financial Aid at Kishwaukee College, wants to inform area residents of a change in filing date for the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. “The FAFSA filing date has always been the spring prior to a student enrolling in college, but that has changed this year,” she said in a news release. “For anyone planning to attend Kishwaukee College or any other college or university in the 2017-2018 academic year, the filing date will now open on Oct. 1, 2016.” The FAFSA is the basic building block of all financial aid packaging for college students across the U.S. Filing the FAFSA is the first step in determining what federal or state financial aid a student is eligible for, including Pell Grants, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (SEOG) Federal Direct Student Loans and the Illinois Monetary Award Program (MAP Grants). Filing early may qualify a student for funding from a wider va-

riety of financial aid sources. The Illinois MAP grant, for example, has a limited amount of funds to award and is dispersed in a “first-come, first-served” format, making filing the FAFSA early a necessity in qualifying for MAP funds. “In the past, people would wait to file the FAFSA because it requires completed income tax forms which they often had not yet filed,” Stonesifer said in the release. “The 2017-18 FAFSA will use information from the 2015 Tax Forms – forms that were completed and filed six months ago. In addition, it allows students to easily use the IRS Retrieval Tool which automatically links the filed tax forms with the FAFSA form. It makes filing for FAFSA a lot easier.” Kishwaukee College is planning to hold its annual FAFSA Completion Nights in October and November this fall, as well as on a January date during the spring semester. For more information on the FAFSA, visit www.fafsa.ed.gov or visit www.kishwaukeecollege.edu/ financial-aid.

• Guilt. When your loved one has Alzheimer’s, the guilt can seem endless. You feel guilty you don’t visit often enough, or you don’t do enough. You feel guilty about things you did or didn’t do before the disease took over. When you experience guilt, ask yourself: In what ways can I replace my guilt with awareness of the good things I’m doing for my loved one? • The present moment. Experience what’s happening right now, without labeling or judging it. Don’t dwell on the past or worry about the future. Enjoy the view from wherever you stand. It decreases worry and stress. • Moments of joy. During the most trying times, we sometimes find moments of joy. With Alzheimer’s, such moments might be small but significant: a smile of understanding. Your mother’s cooperation while getting dressed. A caress that takes you back to earlier years. Hang on to these moments by keeping a journal describing the times when you feel a strong sense of joy. Describe what made the moment so joyful. Be a source of reassurance and what you think might be happy memories. Touch your mother the way you always have. Sing a song she loved, and try to get her to join you. When you remind her of what she loved, you can bring both of you a measure of peace. • Write to Dr. Komaroff at www.askdoctork.com or Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

mother, who has Alzheimer’s disease. But I often feel guilty and frustrated. Can you help me change my outlook – for my sake and my mother’s? Dear Reader: Fortunately, I never had to face the challenge you face, as both my parents died while in full possession of their faculties. But many of my patients and friends are experiencing what you are going through. And like you, they often feel guilty and judge themselves harshly. The sad truth is today there is little anyone can do to prevent fully the slow decline of someone afflicted with Alzheimer’s. As I look at the status of research on the disease, I’m an optimist. I think some powerful ways to prevent and treat the disease may well be discovered in the next 20 to 30 years. As a caregiver, there is only so much you can do. And even when you’re doing everything right, a person who is not in her right mind might not appreciate what you’re doing. When that person is someone you love, that’s really hard to deal with. In her helpful book, “Mindfulness Support for Alzheimer’s Caregivers,” my Harvard Medical School colleague Dr. Gail Gazelle helps guide caregivers back to physical and emotional health so they can continue to care for their loved ones while preserving their own well-being. Dr. Gazelle offers lots of practical advice, tips and exercises to help you reframe your thoughts. Your circumstances might not change, but your ability to control the way you experience your circumstances can. Here are a few examples:

ful, but unless your neighbor ladies complain, I’m advising you not to nag your husband about it. While you might find his gray chest hair unattractive, others might not find it offensive at all, and a man walking shirtless in his own yard is hardly shocking.

Dear Abby: DEAR ABBY When my husband was a Jeanne teenager, he had Phillips an affair with his mother’s 20-plusyears-older friend “Nicolle.” He would call her by a nickname to signal he wanted sex. Fast-forward three decades. His family, unaware of their illicit and illegal relationship, regularly invites Nicolle to our family functions. They even call her by that pet nickname, unaware of the connotations. Their affair ended years before I met my husband. But whenever she is around, she follows him like a lost puppy. How do I get over being uncomfortable and angry at her? I know the truth, but she doesn’t know I know. And, of course, my husband doesn’t want his family to know. What do I do? – Knowing Too Much Dear Knowing: Have you spoken to your husband about this? He should talk to Nicolle and say, “My wife knows about us, and she is bothered by it.” He also should tell her to stop following him around or decline future invitations to the family gatherings. Dear Abby: One of my dear friends is pregnant with her first child, and she couldn’t be more excited. Even though she’s only in her second trimester, her “baby bump” is conspicuous, and it seems people (friends, family and complete strangers) can’t help but comment she seems “ready to pop.” When they learn she still has many weeks to go, invariably people ask whether she’s having twins (she’s not). Her grandmother went so far as to ask for ultrasound photos to prove she’s carrying only one baby. It has made my friend very self-conscious. Even though she’s in perfect health, the comments are really getting to her. Any advice on how to graciously deflect these unwanted comments? – No Twins In The Twin Cities Dear No Twins: When someone volunteers your friend is so big she must be carrying twins, she should say, “Nope. Only one healthy baby in there, according to my gynecologist.” She needs to remember there is no end to the insensitive personal comments people make, and it’s important to keep her sense of humor and keep in mind she’ll have to hear them only for a few more months. Dear Abby: My husband is in his mid-70s. We live in the Pacific Northwest. When the temperature is warm, my husband walks around the yard with his shirt off. He’s not fat, but he’s not thin either. He has gray hair on his chest. It looks awful and it’s embarrassing. I think it’s rude to the neighbor ladies who see him walk around like this. What do you think? – An

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Explore new avenues. Show off your uniqueness and your ability to venture in diverse directions. Reconnecting with relatives and friends you haven’t seen for a while will encourage you to make positive changes that will lead to quality prospects and greater awareness and happiness. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Get back to basics and make a point to reconnect with someone you miss or who you feel can contribute something to your life. A partnership looks promising. Don’t make unnecessary purchases. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – You’ll have an

awakening if you are willing to make changes. Doing things differently or updating the way you think will lead to progress. Don’t back down. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Emotions will surface and provide the energy and wherewithal required to get things done. Push forward and don’t stop until you feel satisfied with your accomplishments. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Stop hiding out and evading issues that need to be addressed. You can’t move forward until you tie up loose ends and rid yourself of the situation that is holding you back. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Walk away from a bully or a situation that can lead to injury. Caution will help you avoid a mishap.

and avoid an uncomfortable situation. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Don’t let emotional matters escalate. Whether dealing with children, a colleague or a partner, you are best off being kind and understanding, and offering positive gestures, not a verbal bashing.

An event that gives you a platform to speak and share your ideas will result in an interesting encounter. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Listen attentively, but don’t feel the need to give in to someone who doesn’t share your values or ideals.

Occasionally at the bridge table, a player will make a mistake, thinking that he is giving an opponent a guess when it really isn’t a guess at all. In this example, North-South were using a strong-club system with fourcard majors. North’s response was a splinter bid, showing game-going values in hearts and a singleton (or void) in clubs. This deal occurred during the 1979 European Team Championships in Lausanne, Switzerland. Against four hearts, West led the club seven (second-highest from a weak suit). The declarer, Dano de Falco from Italy, won East’s club queen with his ace and immediately returned the club jack. When West played low in tempo, South placed the club king with East. Declarer ruffed in the dummy, drew trumps ending in his hand, and led a diamond to the jack and king. East might have shifted to a low spade, but he knew that that was not without risk. Instead, he returned his diamond 10. West took the trick and led another diamond to dummy’s queen. Now South had to avoid two spade losers, but he knew that West had the ace. How? If East had held that card, he would have opened the bidding. So, de Falco, with no legitimate way to make his contract, led dummy’s spade jack. East, thinking declarer had a guess with the spade king-10 in his hand, played low smoothly. But declarer ran the jack, and when the ace appeared, claimed his contract. East should have realized that he was known not to have the spade ace and covered the jack. De Falco was awarded the Bols Brilliancy Prize for this effort.
