New rules govern media in courts Judge expected to approve policies for county circuit today

Sycamore brings water facility into 21st century

By DAVID THOMAS dthomas@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Drivers were advised to be careful as DeKalb County was hit with freezing rain Sunday.

The National Weather Service placed northern Illinois and northwest Indiana under a freezing rain advisory until 9 p.m. Sunday.

With the icy rain accumulating to a couple tenths of an inch, drivers and pedestrians were advised to be aware of slippery roads and sidewalks.

If left untreated, these roads and sidewalks could turn into “sheets of ice,” the National Weather Service statement said.

Air temperatures were expected to rise above freezing by the early evening, but the ground was expected to remain below freezing, allowing the rain to freeze on contact.

YCAMORE – Clean water does not come cheap or easy.

With equipment more than 35 years old, Sycamore will embark on a roughly $10 million upgrade to its wastewater treatment plant on North Cross Street to ensure the cleanliness of the Kishwaukee River and help keep disease at bay.

Public Works Director Fred Busse said sewage has always been a threat to spread disease, which is why it is important to stay updated with the most effective technology. The city plans to do just that with the addition of equipment, such as sequencing batch reactors and ultraviolet light for water disinfection.

“The equipment we have is 35 years old, and it’s really meant to only last about 20,” Busse said. “It’s important we

Some newer models have been added in another part of the plant during an earlier phase of the renovations. get that replaced, and it makes more sense to bring in new equipment instead of retrofitting or converting what we already have.”

Although residents will not see much difference from the city’s $10 million investment,

Busse said the treated water discharged into the Kishwaukee would be cleaner and the facility’s capacity would increase from about 3 million gallons a day to about 5 million ennabling the city to accommodate future growth.

Keeping everything from garbage ground up in a disposal to chemicals such as phosphorous out of the water system is a roundabout process.

In the existing system, Busse said sewage passes through preliminary screening that removes larger debris such as toilet paper, which is then separated and sent to a landfill.

The water then goes through aeration tanks where solid waste begins to separate from the water.

The water then moves to clarifiers before continuing to a tank to be treated with liquid bleach only to be

Lawrence, Day-Lewis win big at SAG

By DAVID GERMAIN The Associated Press LOS ANGELES – The CIA thriller “Argo” continues to steamroll through awards season, winning the top honor for overall cast performance at the Screen Actors Guild Awards.

SAG’s lead-acting honors Sunday went to Jennifer Lawrence for her role as a troubled widow in a shaky new relationship in the lostsouls romance “Silver Linings Playbook” and Daniel Day-Lewis as Abraham Lincoln in the Civil War epic “Lincoln.”

Anne Hathaway of “Les Miserables” and Tommy Lee Jones of “Lincoln” won the supporting-acting honors.

“It occurred to me – it was an actor that murdered Abraham Lincoln,” said Day-Lewis, a solid front-runner to join an exclusive list of three-time acting Oscar winners. “And therefore, somehow it is only so fitting that every now and then an actor tries to bring him back to life again.”

It was a brisk, businesslike and fairly bland evening as the actors union handed out honors to a predictable lineup of winners who generally had triumphed at earlier Hollywood ceremonies or past SAG shows.

The SAG cast win came a day after “Argo” claimed the top honor from the Producers Guild of America, whose winner often goes on to claim best picture at the Academy Awards. “Argo” also was a surprise victor two weeks ago at the Golden

Globes, where it won best drama and director for Ben Affleck.

The awards momentum positions “Argo” for a rare feat at the Feb. 24 Oscars, where it could become just the fourth film in 85 years to be named best picture without a nomination for its director.

“To me this has nothing to do with me, it has to do with the incredible people who were in this movie,” said Affleck, who also stars in “Argo” and accepted the SAG prize alongside his cast.

A directing nomination at the Oscars usually goes hand in hand with a best-picture win. When Affleck was snubbed for a directing slot, awards analysts initially were counting “Argo” out for the best-picture Oscar, along with Kathryn Bigelow’s “Zero Dark Thirty” and Tom Hooper’s “Les Miserables,” which also missed out on directing nominations.

Only once in modern times has a film won best picture without a directing nomination, with 1989’s “Driving Miss Daisy.” The other two times came in

the show’s early years, at the first Oscars in 1929 with “Wings” and for 1932’s “Grand Hotel.”

But “Argo” has proven a resilient crowd-pleaser, dominating at awards shows since then over Steven Spielberg’s “Lincoln,” which leads the Oscars with 12 nominations.

The cast prize at SAG adds some weight to the Oscar prospects for “Argo,” though the guild honor has a spotty record at forecasting eventual best-picture winners. Only eight of 17 times since the guild added the category has the cast winner gone on to take the bestpicture Oscar. “The Help” won the guild’s cast prize last year, while Oscar voters named “The Artist” as best picture.

The next playoff round before the Oscars is Saturday’s Directors Guild of America Awards, where Affleck, Bigelow, Spielberg and Hooper all are nominated, along with Ang Lee for “Life of Pi.” The winner there typically goes on to triumph with directing and best-picture Oscars, but only Spielberg and Lee are nominated for both the Directors Guild and Oscar prizes this time, throwing the awards picture into a muddle.

Sunday’s acting prizes solidify those categories, though. “Silver Linings” star Lawrence won a Golden Globe and has become one of Hollywood’s hottest talents, with part two of her blockbuster franchise, “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire,” due out in November.

Brazil nightclub fire kills more than 230 The ASSOCIATED PRESS PORTO ALEGRE, Brazil – Flames raced through a crowded nightclub in southern Brazil early Sunday, killing more than 230 people as panicked partygoers gasped for breath in the smoke-filled air, stampeding toward a single exit partially blocked by those already dead. It appeared to be the world’s deadliest nightclub fire in more than a decade.

Witnesses said a flare or firework lit by band members started the blaze in Santa Maria, a university city of about 225,000 people, though officials said the cause was still under investigation.

Television images showed smoke pouring out of the Kiss nightclub as shirtless young men who had attend-

ed a university party joined firefighters using axes and sledgehammers to pound at windows and walls to free those trapped inside.

Guido Pedroso Melo, commander of the city’s fire department, told the O Globo newspaper that firefighters had a hard time getting inside the club because “there was a barrier of bodies blocking the entrance.”

Teenagers sprinted from the scene desperately seeking help. Others carried injured and burned friends away in their arms.

“There was so much smoke and fire, it was complete panic, and it took a long time for people to get out, there were so many dead,” survivor Luana Santos Silva told the Globo TV network.

The fire spread so fast

inside the packed club that firefighters and ambulances could do little to stop it, Silva said.

Another survivor, Michele Pereira, told the Folha de S. Paulo newspaper that she was near the stage when members of the band lit flares that started the conflagration.

“The band that was onstage began to use flares and, suddenly, they stopped the show and pointed them upward,” she said. “At that point, the ceiling caught fire.

It was really weak, but in a matter of seconds it spread.”

Guitarist Rodrigo Martins told Radio Gaucha that the band, Gurizada Fandangueira, started playing at 2:15 a.m. “and we had played around five songs when I looked up and noticed the

roof was burning.”

“It might have happened because of the Sputnik, the machine we use to create a luminous effect with sparks.

It’s harmless, we never had any trouble with it.

“When the fire started, a guard passed us a fire extinguisher, the singer tried to use it but it wasn’t working.”

He confirmed that accordion player Danilo Jacques, 28, died, while the five other members made it out safely.

Police Maj. Cleberson Braida Bastianello said by telephone that the toll had risen to 233 with the death of a hospitalized victim – he said earlier that the death toll was likely made worse because the nightclub appeared to have just one door through which patrons could exit.

8BRIEF Minn. man receives candy 60 years after complaint ST. CLOUD, Minn. – It took 60 years, but a Minnesota man finally has his free candy bars.

Dave Bell, 74, of St. Cloud received a package of candy last week after sending an email reminding Pearson’s Candy Co. in St. Paul of the complaint he made as a teenager.

In 1952, Bell was 14 when he bit into a nut roll and discovered a twig. He tells the St. Cloud Times he sent a letter to Pearson’s “to obviously get some candy.”

He got a letter of apology from the son of one of the company’s founders. But no candy.

Last year Bell came across the letter, so he reminded the company about the candy. The candy arrived Friday.

Artillery unit opens doors Housing authority OKs

smoke-free property policy

By DAVID THOMAS dthomas@shawmedia.com

SYCAMORE – Anyone who has seen a Northern Illinois football game knows Alpha Battery 2/122 Field Artillery.

If the Huskies score a touchdown or win the game, members of the Illinois National Guard artillery unit fire a Howitzer cannon into the air.

“This unit is good about being involved with the community,” said Capt. Dustin Cammack.

On Sunday, the artillery unit hosted its first open house at the Illinois National Guard armory at 516 E. State St. in Sycamore. The armory, a massive gray structure with an artillery cannon pointing north toward State Street, has been the home of Alpha Battery since 1973.

“This is our way to open the doors to the community,” Cammack said. “People have driven past every day and seen the armory and they wonder what we do here.”

To put it simply, artillery units like Alpha Battery can be broken down into three different sections – the eyes, the brains and the brawn, said Sgt. Kenneth Vasser.

The eyes are the forward observers who describe the target and its location to others. 2nd Lt. Dale Boughton certainly looked the part as he sat on top of a Humvee, his face covered in camouflage paint and black sunglasses.

Forward observers, Boughton said, use maps or hightech equipment to determine the target’s location. Identifying the target is important too, he added.

The role of a forward observer is more solitary than others, but no less important, he said.

“You can clear out the bad guys,” Boughton said. “You can become the saving grace for infantry if you need it.”

Boughton said he is normally with the unit’s fire direction center – or the brains.

Soldiers like Boughton and 2nd Lt. Andrew Brewer take the forward observer’s measurements and factor in things like wind speed and the rotation of the earth and translate it to firing directions.

“We take a lot of pride in how accurate we are,” Brewer said.

The directors from Brewer are passed onto the “brawn” – the six to eight men who load, aim and fire the Howitzers.

In addition to learning about the artillery process, members of the public were allowed to hold different pieces of equipment, including body armor, thermal heat vision

equipment and an automatic grenade launcher.

A few of the people who toured the open house were thinking about joining the military. Devin Bosch said he was interested, and drove out from Lombard to Sunday’s open house. He said it seemed like the best place to get information.

“It’s a good experience so far,” said the 21-year-old after examining an M-4 carbine rifle. “The educational opportunities, plus the experience you get, makes it seem like a good thing at this point.”

Greg Cutsinger’s son Phillip was also thinking about military service. Cutsinger wanted to make sure his son had all the information before making a choice. As for Phillip, he said the open house was a great way to get extra credit in school as well as get a preview of things to come.

“I’m interested in joining, so it’s enlightening to see what I could be theoretically using in the five years,” Phillip Cutsinger said.

Official says residents should see little or no increase to water and sewer bills • WATER

Continued from page A1 dechlorinated before the water is released into the river.

Busse said the lengthy process would become much more efficient with the addition of sequencing batch reactors, which handle separation and aeration procedures in one tank. He said the existing large clarifiers and some aeration tanks would no longer be needed.

The new reactors would likely be built adjacent to the aeration tanks at the facility.

“Almost everything is going to be able to take place in one tank instead of all these separate concrete structures,” he said.

Environmentally friendly

The new process will have far less reliance on chemicals and produce more solid waste that can be used as fertilizer.

Busse said the water will no longer have to touch chlorine or liquid bleach to be cleansed. Instead, ultraviolet light will do the job. Running the water through an

ultraviolet chamber kills all the harmful bacteria without chemicals.

“The environmental groups here were definitely happy to see us go that route,” Busse said.

The facility also will add a wetlands area where the water will pass through before it hits the river.

The wetland acts as an additional biofilter, although Busse said all Environmental Protection Agency requirements must be met before the water reaches that stage.

The new wastewater facility also will use biotreatment to remove phosphorus instead of relying on chemicals, although chemical agents still will be needed sparingly, Busse said. The solid waste left over in the process will also pass through an enhanced dewatering device that will make the end product drier and better for the farmland it is dispersed over.

Fee free

Despite the hefty price tag, Busse said residents should see little or no increase to water and sewer bills to fund the

The city will use an Illinois Environmental Protection Agency revolving loan that cycles between and is supported by municipalities and reserves from sewer and water funds. Debt service from previous wastewater projects is also coming off the books, which will free funding sources, Busse said.

“We’ve been able to build up reserves, which is good,” Busse said. “Because we still have to address aging infrastructure like original sanitary lines. Some were probably built in the 1920s.”

DeKALB – The DeKalb County Housing Authority board approved a smoke-free policy for all properties beginning June 1, 2014, to create healthier living conditions.

Michelle Perkins, the housing authority’s executive director, said there currently is no way to prevent secondhand smoke exposure for residents who live in the same units as smokers. Some buildings have several units sharing the same ventilation system.

But the new policy would help reduce health risks among nonsmokers. It will affect not only housing authority residents, but guests and employees as well.

Residents helped determine whether the proper-

ties should be smoke-free, said Jill Morgan, a property manager of multiple housing authority locations. The housing authority invited all residents to participate in a survey about their smoking or nonsmoking preferences before the board made an official decision.

The residents received a notice about the new policy this week. So far, Morgan said she hasn’t received any negative feedback.

Should residents violate this policy after it goes into effect, they could face fines and possible eviction.

Though the housing authority will strictly enforce the nonsmoking rule, Morgan said the policy is not meant to offend or discriminate against residents who smoke.

“The smoke-free policy

is about the smoke, not the smoker,” she stressed. “It’s not forcing anyone to quit smoking.”

Jane Lux, Public Health Administrator for the DeKalb County Health Department, complimented the new policy and the housing authority’s initiative to implement it. She predicted the policy would help decrease the number of health risks involved with tobacco use and secondhand smoke, such as asthma attacks, heart attacks and strokes.

For residents who wish to quit smoking, the housing authority has teamed up with the DeKalb County Health Department and Kishwaukee Community Hospital to offer resources to assist them.

These services are available to residents at little or no cost.

Law hailed as step for immigrant rights • LICENSES

Continued from page A1 facial recognition technology is reliable enough to prevent fraud.

They hailed it as an important step for immigrant rights in Illinois, which approved its own Dream Act in 2010 to create a privatelyfunded scholarship program for immigrant students. President Barack Obama plans to discuss his plan to overhaul the immigration system during a trip to Las Vegas on Tuesday.

“This was a bipartisan effort to pass an important law,” Quinn said. “When the president speaks on Tuesday, he can say about his home state of Illinois ... we not only passed the Dream Act last year, we passed driver’s li-

censes for those who are undocumented.”

However, the law’s opponents have pointed to hundreds of fraudulent cases in New Mexico, Washington and Utah after those states began giving illegal immigrants permission to drive. Illinois will not require applicants to be fingerprinted, for fear that would discourage immigrants from applying.

“How many people would apply for this document knowing that fingerprints will be going to [federal authorities]? Probably not all that many,” said Fred Tsao, policy director of the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, a drivingforce behind the measure.

Proponents say it will allow an estimated 250,000 people unlawfully residing in the state to apply for a three-

year temporary driver’s license and require them to get training and insurance. The Illinois secretary of state’s office said the licenses will be available starting in November.

Those ready for the change include 45-year-old Victoria Chavez.

“I need to get my driver’s license because I have two kids,” the Chicago woman said. “They need my support.

This is a victory for all of us in the immigrant community.”

The licenses will be like those already issued to certain foreign-born, legal visitors. Applicants will be photographed, and their photo will be entered into the state’s facial recognition database – like the rest of Illinois’ licensed drivers – to verify their identity.

Pilot program expected to become permanent fixture • COURTS

Continued from page A1 cameras in hearings for juvenile, divorce, adoption, child custody, evidence suppression or trade secret cases.

Under Supreme Court rules, journalists need to apply to bring cameras into a hearing or trial at least two weeks before it starts. The judge involved in the case, as well as McCann and DeKalb County Presiding Judge Robbin Stuckert, will review the request.

Attorneys and all the parties involved also will receive a copy, and defendants and witnesses can object to having the cameras and recording equipment there.

The judges’ decisions can-

not be appealed.

Under the rules, media likely would not record sexual abuse victims, victims of other forcible felonies, police informants, undercover agents and relocated witnesses.

McCann also supports giving special consideration for the witness’ age and thinking about whether the news images and recordings could affect future police investigations.

“You’re probably never going to get to cover a 12-year-

old who says something bad happened to her,” McCann said.

But he expects the Illinois Supreme Court’s pilot program ultimately will become a permanent fixture in county courthouses.

“I think what you’ll see is see this thing tweaked,” McCann said. “You see it modified a little bit, but I think it’s going to be a long-term program for us.”

Media coverage of Nicholas Sheley’s murder trial in Whiteside County Courthouse in northwest Illinois attracted some media attention itself in October and November. Sheley, 33, was accused of beating a 93-year-old Sterling man to death in 2008; he was one of eight people Sheley was accused of killing over a

matter of days in Illinois and Missouri.

During that trial, and those throughout Illinois since the program started, there weren’t any notable problems with having cameras in the courtrooms, Illinois Supreme Court spokesman Joe Tybor said. He attributed any complaints to minor issues surrounding journalists who were confused or uninformed about specific rules.

“There has been nothing to indicate that this isn’t going work,” Tybor said. “The measure of success – and the reason why it is a pilot project – is really to determine whether cameras and all that go along with it can coexist in Illinois courtrooms [without sacrificing justice and fairness.]”

Hello, I’m Molly an incredibly gorgeous purebred Basset Hound lady. I’m a very happy girl. I like walks (using a harness), snuggles with my human friends, squeak toys and just exploring in TAILS’ fenced yard. Yes, I know I am gorgeous but I am a bit of a diva. I don’t like to share the spotlight with other dogs or kids( under 12). I’m an “adults only” kind of girl because I like to be the major focus of all attention! I’m a very smart girl. I know basic commands and I’m ready to learn lots more. In my last home, I had a crate where I would retreat to the comforts of my own pillow, blanket and chew toys. My breed is known for being a bit stubborn at times, but we all respond well to lots of love, attention and patient training. I’m a fabulous girl who craves a stable, loving home. Could that be yours?

ture, we should be in good shape,” Espy said in regards to road conditions. However, if the temperature dropped and the roads became icy, the salt trucks would be out again, he said.

County Engineer Nathan Schwartz and Fred Busse,

director of Sycamore public works, voiced similar sentiments, saying that they were also keeping an eye on the temperature as evening approached.

Busse said Sycamore crews were out between noon and 3 p.m. Schwartz said his crew went out at 2 p.m., salting and plowing every road they came across.

“Depending on how it [the salt and the temperature] reacts tonight, we’ll see what the need is in the early hours of the morning,” Schwartz said. “Hopefully, it won’t be icy in the morning. If not, we’ll be out early.”

U.S. saw most widespread drought in ’12

More thoughts on Aaron Swartz

Open-access people, meet the copyright laws. Much has been written about Aaron Swartz, the computer genius who killed himself after being charged with a variety of cybercrimes. Some ardent friends accuse the Massachusetts Institute of Technology of having cruelly called in the police to deal with him.

By then, MIT had foiled multiple attempts to illegally download academic journals and realized that someone had broken in to a wire closet to achieve the same end. MIT security analysts had also detected activity from China on the netbook being used, making them extra wary.

MIT had no idea who it was at the time – not that this should have made a difference. But some Swartz defenders argue that the tech prodigy rated special treatment.

“When I was at MIT, if someone went to hack the system, say by downloading databases to play with them, [he] might be called a hero, get a degree, and start a computer company. But they called the cops on him. Cops,” said an apparently shocked Brewster Kahle, founder of the Internet Archive digital library.

The infantilizing culture of academia has led some university wards to expect leniency when they misbehave. In any case, Swartz wasn’t playing with databases.

He was trying to strip them of their economic value. Also, for the record, he was not an MIT student. He was a 26-yearold with a fellowship at Harvard. And if he

VIEWS Froma Harrop had been an undergrad, so what? MIT isn’t day care.

Swartz’s mission was to “liberate” the databases owned by JSTOR, a nonprofit subscription service selling access to academic journals. Many open-access agitators hold that JSTOR has no right to charge money for its wares, copyright law notwithstanding. Odd that some of his most vocal defenders are book authors dependent on copyright protection for their livelihoods.

Aha, they rationalize, the professors, unlike them, are paid by the universities, so ripping off this material doesn’t hurt the creators. Two problems with that.

One is that it’s still copyrighted. And by the way, academic journals cost money to produce.

The other problem is that JSTOR does enhance the professors’ income in indirect ways. Publishing in peer-reviewed academic journals provides a basis for promotions and funding. Of course, there’s nothing stopping the scholars from bypassing the academic journal system and putting their papers online for free. But then they’d be competing for credibility with a zillion blogs and the Drudge Report.

Let me confess that I’ve shared the frustration of hitting against JSTOR’s

pay wall when trying to obtain an academic article online. I want it for nothing.

Who doesn’t? If the cyber-innovators can come up with a new ecosystem for freely disseminating peer-reviewed scholarly articles, thereby bypassing JSTOR – and without stomping on anyone’s intellectual property rights – more power to them.

Swartz was clearly engaging in an act of civil disobedience. He tragically lacked the emotional toughness to accept its consequences. Or he assumed that an esteemed member of the Cambridge tech community would float above them.

JSTOR officials were so enraged at the attack that they blocked MIT’s access to its database for a few days, while lashing out at MIT, according to news reports. But on learning who it was, JSTOR decided not to pursue the case. As another sop to the free-culture community, it opened some of its archives for free reading.

MIT has maintained more dignity. It expressed sadness for Swartz’s death and started an investigation of what happened, but thus far it has not apologized. And should not. The school is full of young geniuses with outsized ideas of their specialness. MIT is doing them a favor by making clear that serious crimes against property could bring in the cops.

Progress made on food safety measures

New, more stringent food safety rules ordered by Congress in 2010 are a step closer to reality. But it still will be at least three years before they can begin to affect the number of outbreaks, illnesses and deaths from salmonella and other food-borne pathogens.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 3,000 Americans or more die from these diseases each year, while about 1-in-6 Americans (48 million) gets sick and 128,000 are hospitalized.

The Food and Drug Administration indicated the new rules could prevent almost 2 million illnesses annually.

Congress gave the FDA authority to require U.S. food producers and manufacturers to draw up detailed plans to ensure the safety of their

products, giving large producers three years to comply and smaller facilities and growers even longer.

Lawmakers ordered the FDA to inspect production facilities more frequently.

Many plants today are not checked for years at a time.

The FDA also will more closely oversee imported foods, which account for about 15 percent of the nation’s food supply by value.

Imports totaled $76 billion through the first 10 months of 2012.

Perhaps the biggest new club given to the FDA in the legislation is the ability to order recalls of food itself rather than asking for industry cooperation.

Over the years, the FDA’s weakness on this point has delayed recall action a number of times.

A major problem: Congress did not fund the legislation, and it would require an appropriation of some $1.4 billion over the next five years.

The new regulations were tailored to fit the fruits and vegetables most open to contamination, such as berries, melons, leafy greens and other foods usually eaten raw.

The rules are being welcomed by many food growers and companies. Indeed, many producers are already following the protective steps laid out by the FDA. ConAgra Foods of Omaha, for instance, has said it supports strict food safety standards and that its current practices go beyond the proposed requirements.

The changes would be good for business, says Ami Gadhia of Consumers Union,

because they’ll “provide a measure of security and certainty that there’s a system in place and bad actors will be weeded out. It’s going to save business costly recalls.”

The regulations, supposed to be ready in late 2011, were held back by the Obama administration until after the 2012 election.

Now that the FDA has proposed them, they will go through a public comment period and then further review before being issued, which could take a year.

That means it will likely be three years or more before Americans see much effect on the number of food-related outbreaks of illness.

That’s not ideal, considering the number of hospitalizations and deaths, but it is definitely progress.

Mail: Daily Chronicle, Letters to the Editor, 1586 Barber Greene Road, DeKalb, IL

Last year saw the most widespread drought the United States has seen since the 1950s.

The effect the weather had on crop production helped to heighten many people’s awareness of just how dependent our country is on farmers’ ability to produce enough crops and livestock to keep the rest of us fed.

With our population over 300 million and the weather continuing to be unpredictable – this winter so far is on pace to set a record for lack of snow – the ability of farmers and bio-engineers to roll with what mother nature throws at them will remain critical.

Much of that critical work is happening here in DeKalb County, where there are 930 farms, about 1,500 farmers and 1 in 6 people are employed in the agricultural industry, the DeKalb County Farm Bureau says.

Eighty-eight percent of DeKalb County is farmland.

Our area’s farmers are also a great example of the progress already made. In the last serious drought in DeKalb County, in 1988, DeKalb County produced about 96 bushels of corn an acre. In 2012, the DeKalb County Farm Bureau estimates the yield was 150 bushels an acre, 56 percent more than in 1988.

Much of that increased production despite poor conditions is due to advances in seed genetics, which produce drought-resistant plants. Farmers’ land management practices have also evolved and improved since then. There likely will be some increase in food prices this year, a hangover from the 2012 drought, but there appears to be little danger of a food shortage.

Our hope is that the coming growing season will be kinder than the one before, and there will be no need to worry. If the conditions continue to be difficult, we trust our county’s and our country’s farmers will find a way pull through.

Pension crisis affects all If you think that Illinois’ pension crisis doesn’t really concern you because you’re not a teacher or a state employee, think again. The “Illinois effect” from that $96 billion pension shortfall affects everyone in the state.

Municipalities, even with stellar credit ratings, are having to pay a surcharge to borrow money because Illinois’ terrible reputation in the financial world is tarnishing them. Elementary and secondary schools are struggling with everything from classroom offerings to transportation because the state has cut back funding.

About 18,000 college students with need-based scholarships had their money cut off. DuPage and Kane counties just merged their juvenile detention facilities.

In fiscal 2008, pensions consumed 6 percent of the state budget; when the new fiscal year starts in July, that percentage is expected to increase to 16 percent unless something is done.

Some lawmakers opposed a pension reform deal because it would have shifted costs to the local school districts and potentially increased property taxes. Are things going to have to get worse to get them to act?

Offensive futility continues for Huskies NIU sets NCAA record for fewest points in a half

AP file photo

Source: Titans interested in hiring Williams

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Gregg Williams may be a step closer to returning to the NFL after being suspended indefinitely for his role in the Saints’ bounty program.

Titans coach Mike Munchak has talked with Williams and is interested in adding him to his Tennessee staff, said a person familiar with the situation. The person spoke Sunday to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because the Titans do not discuss personnel moves until they are finalized.

Before the Titans could hire Williams, he must be reinstated by the league. Commissioner Roger Goodell suspended him indefinitely for his role in the New Orleans Saints bounty program, and NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Sunday the league has not yet addressed Williams’ potential reinstatement.

Munchak did not immediately answer a message left by The Associated Press on Sunday.

The Titans coach has not talked with the media about his team since the day after the season ended.

How quickly the league considers reinstating Williams may take at least a week with the San Francisco 49ers arriving in New Orleans on Sunday to kick off festivities leading up to the Feb. 3 Super Bowl.

Williams is the only coach or player who has yet to return to the NFL in the wake of the bounty scandal.

Goodell just lifted the suspension for New Orleans coach Sean Payton on Tuesday, nearly two weeks earlier than expected. Saints general manager Mickey Loomis was suspended for eight games and assistant head coach Joe Vitt for six. Four current or former Saints players were also suspended after an investigation found the club had a performance pool offering cash rewards for key plays, including big hits. The player suspensions eventually were overturned.

By DAILY CHRONICLE STAFF sports@daily-chronicle.com All season, offensive struggles have been a theme for the Northern Illinois men’s basketball team.

The Huskies came into Saturday’s contest at Eastern Michigan averaging just 57.6 points a game, the worst total in the Mid-American

Conference.

Saturday’s 42-25 loss at Eastern Michigan was a new low point for NIU (4-14, 2-4 MAC), as the Huskies set four NCAA records for offensive futility.

NIU scored just four points in the first half, trailing EMU, 18-4, at the half and setting the NCAA record for fewest points scored in a half

in the shot-clock era. The Huskies scored five points in the first half against Dayton earlier in the season.

NIU’s 25 points barely passed the NCAA record for least points scored in a game during the shot-clock era. St. Louis University scored 20 points in a game in 2008.

The Huskies also set an NCAA record for the low-

est field goal percentage in a game. NIU shot 8 for 61 (13.1 percent). The previous low for field goal percentage in a game was set by Miami (Ohio) back in 2001 at 13.3 percent.

NIU shot 1 for 31 from the field in the first half, setting an NCAA record for the worst field goal percentage in a half. They broke the previous record set by Savannah State at 4.3 percent against Kansas State in

2008.

The one made field goal also tied an NCAA record for fewest field goals made in a half, also set by Savannah State.

The 67 combined points between EMU and NIU narrowly bested the NCAA record for least combined points in a game (62), which was set by Monmouth and Princeton in 2005.

Indian Creek sees tournament as another chance to prove itself

By ROSS JACOBSON rjacobson@shawmedia.com SHABBONA – Immediately after Indian Creek’s loss on the road to Hinckley-Big Rock, Timberwolves coach Joe Piekarz was as upbeat and optimistic as a losing coach could be.

Indian Creek’s rally from a 16-point, second-half deficit came up just short in a 64-60 loss to H-BR, the Timberwolves’ first loss in Little Ten Conference.

“You’re always disappointed when you come up short like that in a game, but I think we were able to take some positives away from it where we were able to compete pretty hard

with a good solid team in the conference.”

Over the past two seasons, Indian Creek has found itself just outside the Little Ten elite.

Last year they took fourth in the Little Ten tournament, falling to H-BR in the semis and losing a close game to Newark in the third-place game. In 2011, the Timberwolves were second, losing in the championship game to Newark.

But Indian Creek sees this year’’s tournament at Somonauk as another opportunity to prove it belongs in the conference’s upper echelon.

NIU women stay with Toledo, but lose by two late

By ANTHONY ZILIS sports@daily-chronicle.com DeKALB – The Northern Illinois women’s basketball team’s first conference win was within their grasp Saturday against Toledo.

Amanda Corral began her charge up the court with 8.4 seconds left and the Huskies down two. Corral picked up her dribble one step inside the three-point line and looked to 3, but she didn’t see a teammate open. So Corral held the ball, finally releasing a pass as time expired, and the Huskies lost, 44-42, their seventh straight loss and sixth to start the MAC season.

“It’s pretty frustrating,” Corral said of the Huskies’ fiRob Winner – rwinner@shawmedia.com nal possession. “I think that’s Northern Illinois’ Shaakira Haywood looks to take a shot as a trio of Toledo defenders try to stop her during part of being pretty young, I think I should have realized the first half Saturday n DeKalb.

“To play as well as we did defensively ... you’ve got to be on, you’ve got to be locked in,” coach Kathi Bennett said. “We did that for 40 minutes. The other side of the ball, that’s where we struggle, and we still have to improve in that area, but I saw some signs.”

The Rockets’ biggest lead was five with 35 seconds remaining in the first half. Satavia Taylor, who scored 11 in the first half, cut into that lead with a layup just before time expired, and the Huskies went into the break down, 24-21.

8SPORTS SHORTS No. 2 Michigan makes case for No. 1 in win over Illinois

CHAMPAIGN – Trey Burke scored 19 points and No. 2 Michigan never trailed after the opening minutes of a 74-60 win Sunday over Illinois that could push the Wolverines to No. 1 in the nation for the first time since the 1992-93 season.

Duke’s lopsided loss to Miami earlier in the week opened the door for a new No. 1 when the AP poll comes out Monday – and Michigan put itself in position to take the top spot.

Nick Stauskas scored 14 points for the Wolverines (19-1, 6-1 Big Ten). Glenn Robinson III and Tim Hardaway Jr. added 12 each.

No. 7 Indiana holds on to beat No. 13 Michigan State

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Victor Oladipo took control for No. 7 Indiana in the opening minutes and never let go.

The junior guard scored 21 points, grabbed seven rebounds and finished with six steals, leading the Hoosiers to a victory over No. 13 Michigan State.

Indiana (18-2, 6-1 Big Ten) has now won three straight and two in a row in this series. The latest win helped break up the three-team logjam that started the day with only one loss each in conference play.

No. 17 Creighton whips Southern Illinois 81-51

CARBONDALE – Doug McDermott had 21 points and 10 rebounds and No. 17 Creighton shot 63 percent, bouncing back from a pair of road losses with an easy 81-51 victory at struggling Southern Illinois on Sunday night.

Gregory Echenique added 12 points and 11 rebounds and the Bluejays (18-3, 7-2 MVC) were 12 for 20 from 3-point range with Ethan Wragge hitting his first four attempts and Jahenns Manigat going 4 for 4. Creighton also dominated on the boards with a 39-19 cushion and has won 10 straight in the series while shaking off setbacks at Wichita State and Drake.

Aaron shakes up U.S. men’s skating with 1st title

OMAHA, Neb. – Little-known Max Aaron won his first title at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships on Sunday and helped knock down three-time champion Jeremy Abbott to the last step on the podium. With two quadruple jumps and an arsenal’s worth of other tricks in his “West Side Story” program, don’t count the 20-year-old upstart out at the world championships in March, either.

“I kind of thought in the back of my mind he could be the national champion,” coach Tom Zakrajsek said. “There are so many great men and you never know how they’re going to skate or how it’s going to be judged. I did think he gave a performance today – when you give a performance like that, it’s worthy of a national title.

By TOM MUSICK tmusick@shawmedia.com CHICAGO – Introducing the Original Six and O. The Blackhawks’ season is all of nine days old, and already it has achieved history. Before Sunday, no group in the 87-year history of the franchise had won each of its first six games.

That changed when Hawks defenseman Nick Leddy ripped a shot past Detroit Red Wings goaltender Jimmy Howard to clinch a 2-1 overtime victory Sunday at the United Center.

The Hawks improved to a league-best 6-0-0 with 42 games remaining in a shortened season.

Of course, the Hawks have loftier goals than a fast start.

But they still can embrace the moment. They still can embrace history.

“That’s awesome,” Leddy said when told that the Hawks broke a 41-year-old team record for the best start to a season. “I heard that stat before the game.

It’s definitely one of a kind.”

And the Hawks are finding every kind of way to win.

On Sunday, it wasn’t glamorous. It was grueling.

The Hawks were playing for the sixth time in nine days as part of the NHL’s rapid-fire schedule, and after killing off six penalties in two periods, energy started to fade.

The first sign of the fatigue arrived about halfway through the third period.

Hawks forward Bryan Bickell blew a tire in the offensive zone. He tripped over his skates, stumbled a couple of steps forward, and crash-landed into the goal post so hard that it came off of its moorings.

A referee’s whistle blew, and

Blackhawks’ Duncan Keith (left) is congratulated by goalie Corey Crawford in the first period after Keith scored against the Detroit Red Wings on Sunday at the United Center.

VIEWS Tom Musick play stopped while the net was restored to its proper place.

No one saw Bickell’s miscue except for 21,607 fans and dozens of grinning teammates.

“He has a tendency to do some funny things every now and then,” forward Viktor Stalberg said with a laugh. “But that’s the first time I’ve seen a toe-pick-take-the-goal-post-out.”

Stalberg couldn’t stop chuckling at the replay in his head.

“I’m sure we’ll get a highlight reel out of that for tomorrow’s video session,” he said.

These are happy times for the Hawks.

How could they not be?

After the win, Hawks coach Joel Quenneville deflected all praise for the team’s historic start to his players. This wasn’t about line changes or coaching strategy. This was about effort.

“They’re the ones doing it,” Quenneville said.

And they’re doing it so well.

“It’s fun,” Stalberg said.

“The most encouraging part is we’re playing good hockey.

We’re not just winning fluke games.

“I think we’re playing good all three zones, and we’re getting rewarded for it.”

By the time the Blackhawks return to the United Center for their next home game Feb. 12, Cubs and White Sox pitchers and catchers will have reported to spring training.

Derrick Rose could be on the court for the Bulls.

Who knows?

Maybe the Hawks will have a loss by the time they return.

Even so, everything is lining up well for the Hawks.

A lengthy lockout allowed Marian Hossa to recover fully from a severe concussion that he suffered in April during the playoffs. It allowed Patrick Kane to join a team in Switzerland and return to the NHL with a renewed focus to go along with his dazzling playmaking skills. It allowed Corey Crawford to move past

his sophomore slump and reassert his No. 1 status.

Now, a six-game, 10-day road trip will allow the Hawks to bond during card games and “Mario Kart” tournaments and whatever else hockey players do with their spare time.

The road trip will require the Hawks to zigzag across the Western Conference.

They’ll travel 333 miles to Minnesota, 1,430 miles to Vancouver, 427 miles to Calgary, 1,030 miles to San Jose, 620 miles to Phoenix and 1,440 miles to Nashville before the 409-mile trip home.

Added up: 5,689 miles.

The playoffs are many, many miles beyond that.

But the Hawks’ first steps of the season have been flawless.

They know the way to the summit. They’ve been there before.

HONOLULU – Sack-happy defensive end J.J. Watt went out for a couple of passes as a wide receiver, retiring center Jeff Saturday snapped to two Mannings on opposite teams and the NFC blew past the AFC 62-35 in a Pro Bowl that could be the league’s last.

Whether the NFL’s all-star game will return or not is a question league officials will ponder the next few months.

And the players gave plenty to consider on both sides of the argument Sunday.

The NFC was unstoppable on offense, with nearly each player putting up fantasyworthy lines in limited play.

The AFC, meanwhile, had five turnovers and scored most of its points well after the game was no longer competitive.

Minnesota tight end Kyle Rudolph was voted the game’s MVP with five catches for 122 yards and a touchdown.

Watt, who had 20 1/2 sacks for Houston, lined up as a wide receiver on the AFC’s third play

from scrimmage, but missed a pass from Denver quarterback Peyton Manning. He was targeted one more time, but didn’t make a catch.

He later showed a TV camera a bloody left pinkie, joking with NBC telecasters that the players were trying.

“Hey, Commish, we’re playing hard,” Watt said as he showed his bloodied finger.

Roger Goodell has said the Pro Bowl won’t be played again if play didn’t improve this year. Last year, fans in Hawaii booed as lineman were clearly not trying. On one play in that game, Minnesota defensive end Jared Allen did a barrel roll to switch positions with a teammate.

If players were coasting this time around, it was less obvious. The AFC just played poorly. And fans didn’t boo much – the stands were relatively empty even though the game sold enough tickets to lift a local TV blackout.

Djokovic completes Australian Open hat trick

By JOHN PYE The Associated Press

Serbia’s Novak Djokovic kisses his trophy Sunday after defeating Britain’s Andy Murray in the men’s final at the Australian Open in Melbourne.

MELBOURNE, Australia – No shirt ripping or bare-chested flexing this time.

Novak Djokovic completed his work before midnight Sunday, defeating Andy Murray in four sets for his third consecutive Australian Open title and fourth overall.

It was also the second time in three years Djokovic had beaten his longtime friend in this final. So the celebration was muted: a small victory shuffle, raised arms, a kiss for the trophy. No grand histrionics, although that’s not to say the moment was lost on him.

“Winning it three in a row,

it’s incredible,” Djokovic said after his 6-7 (2), 7-6 (3), 6-3, 6-2 victory Sunday night. “It’s very thrilling. I’m full of joy right now. It’s going to give me a lot of confidence for the rest of the season, that’s for sure.”

Nine other men had won consecutive Australian titles in the Open era, but none three straight years. One of them was Andre Agassi, who presented Djokovic with the trophy.

A year ago, Djokovic began his season with an epic 5-hour, 53-minute five-set win over Rafael Nadal at the Australian Open, the longest Grand Slam final. He tore off his shirt to celebrate, the TV replays repeated constantly at this tournament.

Coach Piekarz hopes for final push at Somonauk Huskies hope to build off of defeat • LITTLE TEN Continued from page B1

“It’s very competitive and that’s what we like about it,” senior point guard Kyle Lieving said. “We don’t like easy games, we like teams that will actually put up a fight.”

Piekarz notes that the tournament symbolizes the start of the final third of the Timberwolves’ schedule. While Indian Creek will have a handful of Little Ten games after this week’s tournament, Piekarz wants to see a final push start at Somonauk.

“I think we use it to try and hopefully start to play our best basketball around this time,” Piekarz

said. “It’s fun to play in a tournament atmosphere, it’s similar to a regional. I think ti’s a great opportunity to get ready for regionals.”

Indian Creek is the No. 3 seed in this year’s tournament and will face Leland-Earlville in the first round. A date with No. 2 Newark likely awaits in the semis and topseeded H-BR would be the probable opponent in the final. The Timberwolves haven’t beaten H-BR in three meetings over the past two years.

“I’m happy that we came back and put up a fight,” Lieving said.

“We didn’t get the win, but there’s a chance that we can play them again in the Little Ten and we’re excited

for that. That’s what we’re hoping for.”

The school hasn’t won the Little Ten tournament since 1991, when Shabbona took home the championship two years before it merged with Waterman to form Indian Creek.

Piekarz said making a run in the IHSA postseason is the biggest goal for Indian Creek. But this week’s Little Ten tournament still carries weight. “[A championship] would mean a lot to all of us,” senior Jaron Todd said. “We just need to slow it down on offense, get our sets in, score better than we have and really focus on the defense.”

Loss a step backward for Huskies after Wednesday’s win • NIU MEN Continued from page B1

The Huskies got back on the right track with a 74-61 win Wednesday over Central Michigan, but Saturday’s loss was another step back.

“Our guys played hard,” NIU head coach Mark Montgomery said

in a news release. “Unfortunately, we just couldn’t make a shot. We just needed someone to make a basket to get our team going, but I wouldn’t say that we were taking bad shots.

We had makeable, open shots, they just wouldn’t go in, but our guys kept defending, kept playing hard.

“It becomes contagious, both

making shots and missing shots. At Central [Michigan on Wednesday night], it was contagious the other way, we made some shots and then everyone started making some. At 18-4 [at the half], if we come out and make a couple of baskets we would have been right back in it ... but it just didn’t happen.”

• NIU WOMEN Continued from page B1 Corral, who scored 13 points, gave the Huskies their first lead of the second half when she drained a 3-pointer with 8:13 remaining. The lead would change hands five times before the final buzzer.

Taylor gave the Huskies a 42-41 lead with 1:54 remaining, but Toledo forward Inma Zanoguera answered 14 seconds later with a layup of her own.

The Huskies have lost all seven of their games in 2013, but this defeat was one they think they can build off of.

“We definitely made progress, especially since the beginning of the MAC, we’re starting to get the hang of things,” Taylor said. “We’re playing harder on defense. Today was a big improvement on defense. We’re lasting longer, we’re making the other team get more turnovers, and then

“We definitely made progress, especially since the beginning of the MAC, we’re starting to get the hang of things.”

Satavia Taylor NIU womens basketball player

just playing better on offense.”

NIU showed the defensive prowess necessary to hang with one of the MAC’s top teams Saturday. If the Huskies can carry over their effort from Saturday, Bennett thinks they’ll be chalking up wins soon enough.

“Toledo is one of the best defensive teams in our league,” Bennett said.

“Our movement caused them trouble.

I feel if we continue to do what we’re doing offensively, against lesser defensive-oriented teams, it’s really going to come together. I like what I see from them.”

Mom must work to overcome her hostility

Dear Abby: Although I love my 7-year-old daughter, “Emma,” I do not “like” her.

It’s because I dislike my exhusband, “Scott,” so much.

He was verbally and emotionally abusive and left me while I was pregnant. The experience left me hurt and humiliated, and I continue to harbor resentment toward him.

I’m happily remarried now, but Emma is a constant reminder of my bad marriage.

I feel she’s selfish, rude, lazy and disrespectful – characteristics Scott possesses. I have little tolerance for her behavior and I’m hard on her. Sometimes I feel like I’m talking to him instead of to a little girl.

I have seen several therapists, but nobody has been able to help. I have been told, “Your child isn’t your ex so you need to get over it!”

Compounding the prob-

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips lem is the daughter I have with my second husband, a little girl I adore beyond words. She’s sweet, kind, friendly and essentially the opposite of Emma. I love this child more than I love Emma, and I’m disgusted with myself for feeling this way. It was Scott who hurt me, but I can’t get past the hurt. Abby, what can I do? – Distressed in Massachusetts Dear Distressed: Try harder to rebuild the bond you didn’t form with Emma when she was born because of your anger at her father. It can still be done, but it will take work on your part. Emma’s behavior may be the result of how you have treated her,

and if YOU can change, so may she. I’ll share with you a letter I printed several years ago from another mother who shared your problem: “Dear Abby: The best advice I ever received for coping with my contrary daughter was from a neighbor who had a surly girl of her own. She made a conscientious effort to be more demonstrative to her daughter, hug her more and hold on a little tighter to show her how valued she was.

“I tried it with my daughter, going out of my way several times a day to express my love for her. It was awkward at first, but I persevered. I committed myself to loving that unlovable being, and slowly but surely it paid off.

At first, she would lean away, but eventually she would ask me to hold on ‘just one more minute.’

“My daughter is 24 now

and on her own. Her life isn’t what I would have hoped for or expected, but that’s OK. I’m her touchstone for love and acceptance. I can’t imagine my life without her.

– Another Mom in California” Emma may be a difficult child, but she’s not stupid.

She sees the difference between how you react to her half-sister and the way you treat her. A first step for you would be to apologize to her, put your arms around her and tell her that from now on you will try to do better as a mother. Emma didn’t ask to be born, and you owe her that.

Dear Abby: My husband and I have been married 10 years.

We didn’t have a wedding.

Instead, we went to the courthouse – just the two of us with a couple of witnesses – and had a small reception a few months later.

Having been a part of some very nice weddings recently, I mentioned to my husband that I wished we would have done something more special for our wedding. Now he wants to renew our vows with a huge wedding ceremony.

Would it be appropriate to have a big ceremony now? – Wondering in Iowa Dear Wondering: I think it’s a wonderful idea. Ten years of wedded bliss is something to celebrate, and I see no reason why you shouldn’t do it with the ceremony of your dreams.

Other couples have done it, and so can you.

Keep cool when responding to your boss

Dear Dr. K: My boss constantly insults me at work.

It’s subtle, but it’s real. What can I do?

Dear Reader: Obviously I have no knowledge of your specific situation, but I surely have seen bullies in the workplace – including bosses who bully those who report to them.

If someone insults you once, it’s easy to dismiss him or her as obnoxious, brush off the incident and move on.

But when this kind of treatment is ongoing, moving on isn’t as easy. Stopping these insults may not be within your power, especially when the perpetrator is your boss.

But you can control how you react.

ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff It can be hard to know when to respond and when to keep quiet. Going through life as a punching bag isn’t healthy, but lashing out can also be stressful. Here are some tips that may help you to defend yourself enough to sleep well at night – without jeopardizing your job: • Be strategic. When you’re insulted, don’t react immediately. Think through the consequences of acting or not acting. Use timing as a strategic tool. Most of us are not quick enough to instantly

come up with the perfect retort. Instead, say something later, after you’ve considered your response.

• Get some perspective.

Sometimes it’s hard to know if you’re overreacting. Getting someone else’s perspective can help. Or give yourself time to reflect on the situation when you’re not in the heat of the moment.

• Take the high road.

Respond to rude behavior with extreme politeness. This allows you to maintain your own dignity.

• Consider one response after several incidents. Instead of responding to a single incident, wait for several incidents. Then confront the boss with each of them. When you

do it this way, you’re talking about a pattern of behavior that it’s harder for the boss to dismiss.

• Let off some (healthy) steam. Find a healthy outlet for your anger. Try martial arts, for example, or a good kick-boxing class. When I was a kid, one of my best friends had what we would call today an “anger management problem.” (We just said he had a bad temper.) His parents had one car but a two-car garage, with a brick back wall. They partitioned the garage and built a counter near the front wall. On the counter, the parents put all the family’s empty soft drink bottles. About twice a week my friend would stand at the counter and hurl the

bottles at the back wall. (There was no recycling back then.)

It helped.

• Change what you can.

Don’t be a passive victim. You have the power to respond.

To learn more about responding to bullying, read the informative new e-book called “Overcome Prejudice at Work” written by my Harvard Medical School colleague Dr. Ranna Parekh, along with Carl Bell and Karen Weintraub. You can learn more about this book at my website.

A list of good techniques for public speaking Dr. Wallace: I am enrolled in a public speaking class at the University of Iowa, and I really enjoy this class. I’ve always been nervous about giving oral reports and that’s why I’m taking this class. I am scheduled to give my first speech in front of the class in a couple of weeks. I know my material about being kind and compassionate to animals because I want to become a veterinarian, but I feel uncomfortable about the formal presentation.

I know that you speak to a lot of different audiences, and

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace I would like to hear any good advice you could give me about public speaking.

TODAY – To fulfill an ambitious objective in the year ahead, you must be prepared to make some changes. Possessing the flexibility to adapt quickly to changing circumstances will greatly enhance your chances of success.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – You are not likely to make a good decision if you’re forced to do so under pressure. Don’t let yourself be pushed into coming up with an immediate answer.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Something you previously failed to attend to properly could demand your attention. If you don’t take care of it once and for all, it will remain a burr under your saddle.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Being too assertive can make it difficult for you to get others to follow your lead. Respect others’ abilities, and treat people as if they have some common sense of their own.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Although you and your mate might have the same objective, your methods could conflict. If neither of you will compromise, trouble is likely.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Even though you’re usually a rather easygoing individual, you could have a chip on your shoulder today. Try not to read too much into other people’s words or actions.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – It’s entirely up to you to protect your interests in both financial and social situations. Unless you look out for yourself, you could end up being the scapegoat.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – As long as you stick to your blueprint, things should go rather smoothly. Let another lead you astray, however, and you can kiss your careful plans goodbye.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – To be productive, you must be well organized and methodical. If you get off on the wrong foot, you might not find your equilibrium.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Don’t let friends get you involved in something that you don’t like doing and can’t afford, to boot.

Be selective regarding your social activities.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – No one is questioning your capacity to achieve, but you first need to set goals that are actually attainable. Be realistic and practical at all times.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Instead of making mountains out of molehills, strive to be pragmatic. Harboring a poor attitude will make life much more unpleasant than it needs to be.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – If you need to negotiate with a tough cookie who has something you want and knows it, you can win out if you are courageous and firm in your dealings.

asked to speak before many groups, ranging in size from 20 to over 2,000 in the audience. But regardless of the group’s size, I’m always a bit nervous before speaking.

However, once the speech is under way, the butterflies go away.

I also enjoyed a public speaking class one summer at the Gary extension of Indiana University. The class helped prepare me to speak with nervousness, but without fear. Here are the techniques I’ve picked up along the way. Good luck!

8SUDOKU

1. Never memorize a speech, but know your subject matter.

2. Use note cards whenever possible. Key words and ideas should be printed in easy-to-read form.

3. Practice your speech in front of a mirror, looking yourself in the eye.

4. Know as much about your audience as possible.

5. Keep constant eye contact with the audience.

6. Whenever possible, use a rostrum.

7. Don’t consume food for two hours before speaking.

BRIDGE Phillip Alder

Never consume coffee, tea or soft drinks before speaking.

8. Keep a glass of water on the shelf beneath the rostrum.

9. Project your voice so the people in the last row can hear you.

10. If you make a grammatical mistake or misstatement, correct yourself immediately.

Christmas competition bids and leads

Here are the answers to the bidding and lead questions in my Christmas Competition.

2. If South is the dealer and East-West pass throughout, how would the bidding go? See the diagram. Yes, South might rebid two spades; perhaps North is 5-3 in the majors. But it is not clear that a 5-4 spade fit will be better than a 6-3 heart fit.

Look at only the West hand.

3a. If South opens one diamond, what should West do? Make a takeout double.

This isn’t guaranteed to work better than a two-club overcall, but it keeps more options open. A good partner will bid a five-card major. (Pass could be best, but goes against the grain these days.)

3b. If West opens one club (yes, a tad thin) and East responds one heart, what should West rebid? Two hearts – no second choice.

3c. South opens one notrump (15 to 17 points) and North raises to three notrump. What should West lead? The club four.

Look at only the South hand.

4. South opens one heart and North responds one spade. What should South rebid? Four spades (or three spades; or four clubs, a splinter bid – but that would be my third choice with so few highcard points).

Look at only the East hand.

5a. If West opens one spade, what should East respond?

Three spades, limit raise.

5b. If South opens one club, West makes a takeout double and North passes, what should East bid? Two spades.
