Mayor: No problem with use of money, but may get closer look in futureBy KATIE [email protected]
DeKALB – Since early2013, the DeKalb Police De-partment has used around$300,000 of the $350,000 collect-ed in administrative tow feesto buy a wide range of itemsoutside of its regular budget.
Among the many purchas-es, administrative tow feeshelped outfit the new $12.7
million police department,buy an $80 spill-proof dogbowl and provided nearly
$1,400 in Jimmy John’s mealsto outside police agencieshelping DeKalb during CornFest and Northern IllinoisUniversity move-in day.
Police Chief Gene Lowerysaid his department wouldnot have been able to affordthings necessary to its opera-tion without the fees generat-ed when police tow a vehicleinvolved in certain criminalactivities.
“This program has had adramatic impact on crimi-nals because of the immedi-ate financial sanction againstthem,” Lowery said. “I thinkthis is a great way to fund thenecessities of the departmentand it’s a widely adoptedpractice.”A NEW FUNDING SOURCE
In December 2012, theDeKalb City Council estab-lished an administrative tow
fee, allowing police to tow avehicle that is connected toillegal activity ranging fromdriving without a valid li-cense to using the vehiclewhile committing a felony.Regardless of a person’s guiltor innocence, the accusedmust pay $500 to reclaim thevehicle, although the chargecan be disputed through anadministrative hearing pro-cess.
The fee has bolstered po-lice finances by more than$350,000 since it was institut-ed, according to records ob-tained through a Freedom ofInformation Act request.
When the ordinance waspassed, the fee was expectedto generate “some” revenue,and Lowery was given thediscretion to use the funds it

Golf courses, farmers taking stock after ground thawsBy DEBBIE [email protected]
Despite a brutally coldwinter, Sycamore GolfClub is opening today, justa day later than last spring.
The 18-hole course willbe open for walkers onlyto give the bent grass moretime to awaken from itswinter dormancy beforeheavier motorized cartsroll across it.
“It’s been a long win-ter, and the melt has beenslow,” golf superintendentKirk Lundbeck said. “Thegood news is that we don’tsee a lot of damage to the
course, and we’ve had noflooding problems so far.”
Overall, the DeKalbCounty area experiencethe second coldest periodfrom December throughMarch on the books, withsome records going backto the 1870s, Northern Il-linois University mete-orologist Gilbert Seben-ste said. The frost level
typically extends six inch-es to two feet into theground each winter, butthis year it varied betweentwo and four feet deep, Se-benste said.
The ground thawed thisweek, leaving farmers andother area residents to dis-cover that moisture fromthe snow melting and re-cent rain did not penetratefar into the soil, Sebenstesaid.
The slow thaw helpedlocal golf courses. Flood-ing can be an issue for theSycamore Golf Club as well
SIGNS OF SPRING? U.S. getsback jobslost inrecession
By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABERThe Associated Press
WASHINGTON – The U.S.economy has reached a mile-stone: It has finally regainedall the private-sector jobs itlost during the Great Reces-sion.
Yet it took a painfully slowsix years, and unemploymentremains stubbornly high at 6.7percent.
The comeback figures werecontained in a governmentreport Friday that showed asolid if unspectacular monthof job growth in March.
Businesses and nonprofitsshed 8.8 million jobs duringthe 2007-09 recession; theyhave since hired 8.9 million.But because the populationhas grown since the big down-turn, the economy is still mil-lions of jobs short of where itshould be by now.
Also, government jobs arestill 535,000 below the levelthey were at when the reces-sion began in December 2007.That’s why the overall econo-my still has 422,000 fewer jobsthan it did then.
As a result, most analystswere hardly celebrating themilestone.
Heidi Shierholz, an econ-omist at the liberal Econom-ic Policy Institute, called it a“pretty meaningless bench-mark economically.”
“The potential labor forceis growing all the time, so theprivate sector should have

Police can arrest you and haul youto jail in handcuffs. They can book youand photograph you, take your fin-gerprints and your bodily fluids. Youcan be held in jail until you bail out,or sometimes indefinitely. Police cansearch your home and have your cartowed away. They can release your pic-ture and make statements about whatyou’ve done.
But after all that, a person still isentitled to a day in court, where it is upto the state to prove that you are guiltybeyond a reasonable doubt.
Presiding Judge Robbin Stuckertfound that did not happen in the caseof Patricia Schmidt, who was acquittedThursday on charges of reckless homi-cide and aggravated reckless driving ina 2011 crash. It was a crash police saidshe caused, blowing a red light at Route23 and Peace Road at 70 mph.
It was a crash that took the lives oftwo 21-year-olds, Timothy Getzelman andAlexis Weber, who showed every indi-cation they were on their way to beingpeople who would make our societybetter.
Their loss is a tragedy. It is heart-breaking and unfair. It inspires viscer-al anger, and deep sympathy for theirfamilies.
But our justice system isn’t ruled bypopular opinion. That is hard to acceptat times, as in this case, or when theSupreme Court makes a decision thatwe find boneheaded, but it’s also a goodthing.
Few of us agree with every verdictrendered by judges and juries acrossAmerica, but the alternative is the mob.Angry mobs, although they resolvecases much faster, are known to renderquestionable verdicts and mete outunduly harsh and cruel punishments.
Stuckert found that Schmidt was notguilty in part because she had followedher doctors’ instructions about drivingdespite her seizure condition. She usedto drive to her doctor appointments,and that was considered OK.
“I cannot take that out of the equa-tion,” Stuckert said in court. “Isn’t thatwe expect ourselves to do?”
Schmidt’s acquittal was not popularwith many members of our online au-dience, no surprise given the circum-stances. No doubt the judge knew asmuch in rendering her verdict, readingit out to the people in the courtroomwho had lost loved ones.
However, that’s what judges andjuries are expected to do: Interpret thelaw impartially and rationally. Justiceis not always about retribution.
In America, we are innocent untilwe are proven guilty. Those whorespect that principle also must respectthe verdict rendered Thursday.
But courts are guided by laws, andlaws can be changed by the people.
Sometimes it takes a case such asthis one, where innocent people arekilled, to bring about change. Illinois’law is not as stringent when it comes toseizure conditions and driving. Thereis no mandated “seizure-free period”that people with such conditions mustwait out before they resume driving.Doctors are not required to report driv-ers with epilepsy conditions. Yet, asone commenter on Daily-Chronicle.compointed out, if you’re not wearing yourcontact lenses when required, you canexpect a ticket.
This verdict might have felt likea slap in the face to the friends andfamilies of Tim and Alexis, who waitedmore than three years for this trial’sconclusion.
Working to change the law in a com-mon sense way could be their next beststep to righting the wrong, and gainingsome closure.
That, and Schmidt could apologizefor what happened that day, somethingfriends and family of the victims saidshe never has done.
That might help everyone.Money smart: Few people find the
ways that their credit score is comput-ed terribly intriguing – until they try toget a loan and are either turned downor offered an interest rate that’s prohib-itively high.
Although those credit card promo-tions on college campuses might offera free T-shirt, the card they’re sellingmight well have a higher APR, annualfee and other penalties than one youmight find elsewhere.
People like to say that the stock mar-ket is rigged, but the fact is that unlessyou invest some of your money there,odds are you will never build enoughsavings to retire.
If Americans in general were moreknowledgeable about risk and finances,the subprime mortgage crisis of 2008might not have been quite so severe,either. So many people decided to takehome loans with awful terms, or formore money than they could afford torepay. That put them on the clock to re-finance or sell, and when home valuesfell, many walked away with nothing.
Most all of us suffered after that.In light of all this, it’s great to see
the expanding effort to build financialliteracy in DeKalb County.
Money Smart Week, a partnershipbetween several local groups, kicks offtoday. A directory of the events waspublished in Wednesday’s Daily Chron-icle, and also is available online atwww.NIU.edu/flc/MoneySmartWeek.
The event has grown from a small-scale effort contained to the NorthernIllinois University campus in 2012 intothis year’s offering of 60 local eventscovering a wide range of topics, fromgenerally applicable things like eatinghealthy on a budget and understandingyour credit score, to more specializedtopics such as student aid, buying yourfirst home and optimizing retirementincome.
Randi Napientek, the assistant direc-tor of office of student academic successat NIU, is coordinating the effort, whichhas been a partnership between localgroups, including the DeKalb CountyCash Coalition, Kishwaukee UnitedWay, the NIU Financial Sense Commit-tee and Econ Illinois.
Napientek, a longtime DeKalb resi-dent who graduated from DeKalb HighSchool in 2001, credits Ideal IndustriesVice President Glenn Hollister for help-ing to drive the program’s expansion.
“He brought together a group of uson campus, and we just started gettingtogether and talking about stuff,” Napi-entek said.
In addition to brainstorming differ-ent financial literacy topics, they alsogot together with other organizationswith the same goal. The KishwaukeeUnited Way, which had its own “Smartwith Money Week” also is a partnernow.
As Kishwaukee United Way Di-rector Dawn Littlefield pointed out at akickoff event for Smart Money Week onThursday, this kind of community andcampus education is key for people’swell being.
“I think if people learned how tobudget early on or how to avoid creditcard problems, it would put them insituations where they could best handletheir finances,” Littlefield said.
Regardless whether we’re students,learning should be a lifelong endeavor.Learning how to better handle financesand make good investment choices forthe future are key areas that it benefitsall of us to know.
Check out the upcoming eventsthis week. If something appeals to you– maybe you’re interested in free taxpreparation? – stop by. All sessions arefree and open to the public.
“It’s just about getting the communi-ty involved,” Napientek said. “Lettingthe community know that we haveresources. We have some fantasticorganizations, businesses that are inthe DeKalb County area that are here tohelp, that are experts, that people cango to and get info from.”

EDITOR’S NOTE
By ANGELA CHARLTONThe Associated Press
Anja Niedringhaus faced down someof the world’s greatest dangers and hadone of the world’s loudest and most in-fectious laughs. She photographed dy-ing and death, and embraced humanityand life. She gave herself to the subjectsof her lens, and gave her talents to theworld, with images of wars’ unwittingvictims in Afghanistan, Iraq, Bosnia andbeyond.
Shot to death by an Afghan policemanFriday, Niedringhaus leaves behind abroad body of work – from battlefieldsto sports fields – that won awards andbroke hearts. She trained her camera onchildren caught between the front lines,yet who still found a place to play. Shesingled out soldiers amid their armiesas they confronted death, injuries andattacks.
Two days before her death, she madepotatoes and sausage in Kabul for vet-eran AP correspondent Kathy Gannon,who was wounded in the attack thatkilled Niedringhaus, and photographerMuhammed Muheisen.
“I was so concerned about her safety.And she was like, ‘Momo, this is whatI’m meant to do. I’m happy to go,’” Muhe-isen recalled. And then they talked, andargued. Mostly, they laughed.
Niedringhaus, 48, started her careeras a freelance photographer for a localnewspaper in her hometown in Hoexter,Germany, at the age of 16. Her coverage
of the fall of the Berlin Wall led to a staffposition with the European PressphotoAgency in 1990. Based in Frankfurt, Sa-rajevo and Moscow, she spent much ofher time covering the brutal conflict inthe former Yugoslavia.
She joined The Associated Press in2002, and while based in Geneva workedthroughout the Middle East as well asAfghanistan and Pakistan. She was partof the AP team that won the 2005 PulitzerPrize for Breaking News Photography
for coverage of Iraq, among many jour-nalistic awards and honors for her work.In 2006-07, she studied at Harvard Uni-versity under a Nieman Fellowship.
“This is a profession of the braveand the passionate, those committedto the mission of bringing to the worldinformation that is fair, accurate andimportant,” said Gary Pruitt, the AP’spresident and CEO. “Anja Niedringhausmet that definition in every way. We willmiss her terribly.”

Petting zoo owner does not post $30K by deadlineBy BRENDA [email protected]
ST. CHARLES – Pettingzoo owner Stacy Fiebelkornof Elgin missed a 4:30 p.m.deadline without putting up$30,000 as required for thecare of her impounded ani-mals, so the animals are nowforfeited.
A circuit clerk officialconfirmed that Fiebelkorndid not post any cash by thedeadline. Her attorney, Ja-mie Wombacher, could not bereached for comment.
Kane County Associate
Judge Elizabeth Flood hadset the amount to pay for thecontinued care and feedingof more than 90 ill and mal-nourished animals that wereimpounded by Kane CountyAnimal Control last month.
According to state law,an owner can be required toput up cash security to payfor animals that are underthe care of animal control.If cash is not posted withinthe required five days, theremaining animals would beforfeited “without furtherproceedings,” Flood said inher ruling.
Fiebelkorn gave up thepoultry, rabbits and most ofthe goats from her Mini ZooCrew traveling petting zoo.But she fought the forfeitureof the remaining 30 animals,mostly horses and donkeys.
Flood already had ruledthat she had to give up herllamas and alpacas becauseof their starved condition.
The two goats Fiebelkorndid not want to give up arenot included in the securitybond because the law doesnot consider them as com-panion animals, Flood ruledlast week.
Kane County Animal Con-trol is expected to file anoth-er petition by Monday, for ad-ditional cash security to payfor the animals’ continuingcare.
Fiebelkorn was chargedwith misdemeanor animalcruelty and neglect in con-nection with the conditionof the animals in her care.Those charges are pendingand scheduled for a hearingApril 17.
Also scheduled for hear-ing that day is on a motion byWombacher seeking to lim-it officials’ comments about
the animals outside of court.The court papers assert thatextensive coverage withcomments would affect Fie-belkorn’s right to a fair trial.
Also pending is a requestasking the judge to let Fie-belkorn rent six or seven po-nies to Donley’s Wild WestTown, an amusement parkin Union. Nicole Wessel, aveterinarian caring for theimpounded animals at a farmnear Maple Park, has said theponies’ condition still wastoo weak from being starvedand malnourished to givechildren rides.

DeKalb Park Board appoints new commissionerBy LAWERENCE [email protected]
DeKALB – The DeKalbPark District Board of Com-missioners has once againdipped into its pool of recentelection candidates to fill avacant board spot, this timeappointing the brother of aformer commissioner.
Bryant Irving, who fin-ished fourth in a four-wayrace for two board posts inthe April 2013 election, wasappointed during a specialmeeting Friday. He steps infor former board treasurerMike Teboda, who recentlystepped down for health rea-sons.
“I have lived here all of mylife, and this is something Ihave always wanted to do,”said Irving, a former carpen-ter at Northern Illinois Uni-versity who retired in 2008.“My goals are to get the pool
[issues] resolved and to helphire the new executive direc-tor.”
After the death of formercommissioner Ralph “Don”
Irving late last year, theboard appointed Dean Hol-liday to fill the vacant post.Holliday also ran in the con-solidated election, finishing
ahead of Irving. Don Irvingand Bryant Irving are broth-ers.
“There is no specific waywe have to do this when itcomes to policies that pertainto the board,” board Presi-dent Phil Young said. “Withany vacant position, we havetried to take candidates thathave run in the past yearbecause we knew they wereavailable. These guys havetried before and are all com-mitted to the job.”
Board Vice President PerFaivre agreed.
“We wanted to echo thesame sentiment that we didwith Dean Holliday,” Faivresaid. “Bryant Irving was onthe ballot last year, so that iswho we decided to appoint.”
With the appointment, allfour candidates from the 2013election are members of theboard. The two winners fromthat election were Faivre and
Keith Nyquist, who serves asboard secretary.
“If another one opens upin the future, we will openit up to applicants becauseno one else ran,” Youngsaid. “If they had run two orthree years ago, we probablywouldn’t have done it thisway, but this was all withinthe past year.”
Bryant Irving’s term runsthrough May 2015.
“The park district willrun a little better if we getthe pool [issues] settled, andright now, employees areprobably a little uneasy with-out a permanent director,”said Bryant Irving, 69. “I’mgoing to see how this goes andtry and help as best that I can,and then make a decision ifI want to run for re-electionafter that.”
Holliday also was appoint-ed the new treasurer duringthe special meeting.
LAWERENCE SYNETT - [email protected]
Bryant Irving is sworn in Friday as a new member of the DeKalb ParkDistrict Board of Commissioners. He was appointed to replace MikeTeboda, who recently stepped down for health reasons.
State manager fined for havingemployees do his homework
The Associated Press
SPRINGFIELD – A formerIllinois Department of Employ-ment Security manager wasfined for directing his co-work-ers to do his college homeworkon taxpayer time, state reportsshows.
An April 3 report by Execu-tive Inspector General RicardoMeza said 63-year-old ClydeRedfield, who resigned fromhis $71,000 job in 2012 afterthe allegations surfaced, in-structed several subordinatesto help him during their shiftswith classroom assignments
from Benedictine Universityin Lisle, where he was a part-time student from 2008 to 2010.Redfield’s attorney did not im-mediately return a call seekingcomment.
Among the pieces of home-work employees told the in-spector general that Redfieldasked them to work on wasediting a multimedia presenta-tion on 1936 Olympic gold med-alist Jesse Owens. Redfieldalso asked for tutoring withmath work.
Redfield’s subordinatesworried they’d be demoted orcould lose their jobs if they re-
fused comply with his requestsfor homework assistance, thereport said.
Also according to the re-port, officials found that Red-field, a 37-year employee ofthe department, had used hisstate email account “to sendor receive approximately 400emails that clearly appeared tobe related to his schoolwork.”
Department officials saidRedfield initially denied the al-legations during the investiga-tion, but the inspector generalfound Redfield’s subordinates’statements “more crediblethan his bald denials.”

O’Hare unveils overhaul of international terminalThe ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO – Chicago un-veiled a $26 million overhaulof O’Hare Airport’s interna-tional terminal Friday, show-ing off two dozen new high-enddining and shopping options.
It’s the first redevelopmentsince Terminal 5’s construc-tion in 1993 and features sleekinterior design upgrades thatgive parts of the terminalthe feel of a comfy lounge ortrendy nightclub.
Mayor Rahm Emanuelsaid Friday that the redesign,which includes local brands,
does a better job of represent-ing Chicago to those who passthrough the airport, the sec-ond busiest in the country.
“Terminal 5 reflects ourcity’s distinct style and spirit,placing Chicago at the centerof the global tourism conver-sation,” Emanuel said.
Among new offerings area spa, a local gourmet delicalled The Goddess & Grocerand a restaurant overseen bycelebrity chef Rick Bayless.Coming soon are an EmporioArmani and a Michael Korsshop.
Airports around the coun-try are in competition oversuch amenities in hopes of at-tracting passengers, especial-ly those in transit who can be
tempted to spend money whileon a layover.
At O’Hare, the need was es-pecially acute. Even AviationCommissioner Rosemarie An-dolino has called the old Ter-minal 5 an embarrassment.
It was designed with grandspaces, but after the Sept. 11,2001, attacks, some of those ar-eas were filled with expandedsecurity checkpoints, leavingpassengers with few optionsfor eating and shopping oncethey passed the screeninglines.
The renovated interiortransformed the food court
into a dining lounge with per-formance kitchens. New de-sign elements include detailslike wood paneled walls, intri-cate tile patterns and stylishlighting.
There also is a new10,000-square-foot duty-freestore that will offer luxurybrands representing down-town Chicago’s MagnificentMile shopping district.
Even before its full com-pletion, departing passengerslast year spent an average of$18.99 in Terminal 5’s shopsand restaurants, the highestit’s ever been.
“Terminal 5 reflects our
city’s distinct style and
spirit, placing Chicago at
the center of the global
tourism conversation.”

Federal government posts jobs for Thomson prisonThe ASSOCIATED PRESS
THOMSON, Ill. – The feder-al Bureau of Prisons is hiringmore than a dozen workersfor the Thomson CorrectionalCenter in northwestern Illi-nois.
The Quad City Times re-ported that 15 positions havebeen posted on USAJobs.gov,the federal government jobswebsite.
The positions include abudget and technology officer,an IT specialist and correc-
tional supervisors, with sala-ry ranges of $49,520 to $107,434a year. The federal agency hasallocated nearly $54 millionto begin reopening the max-imum-security penitentiarythat’s about 40 miles north ofMoline.
About $10 million will beused to renovate the facility,which was a state prison thatnever fully opened because ofbudget constraints. The ad-ditional $43.7 million will beused for staffing and equip-ment.
Illinois built Thomsonprison in 2001, but budgettroubles kept it from fullyopening. Its 1,600 cells housedfewer than 200 inmates beforeit was closed in preparationfor a sale. The last inmateswere moved out in 2010. Thefederal government bought itfor $165 million in 2012.
When the prison opens as afederal facility, it is expectedto employ about 1,000 peopleand have an economic impacton Whiteside, Lee and Oglecounties.
It is expected to take twoyears before the prison is ful-ly operational. The projectwill cost about $25 million forupgrades and renovations andabout $170 million for equip-ment and staffing.
Federal Bureau of PrisonsDirector Charles Samuels hassaid Thomson is needed to re-duce overcrowding at high-se-curity federal prisons.
Congress hasn’t approvedthe agency’s spending planand renovations have not yetbegun.

Investigator gavenuclear force apositive ’13 review
By ROBERT BURNSThe Associated Press
WASHINGTON – A re-tired general chosen to ex-plore flaws in U.S. nuclearforces signed off one year agoon a study describing the nu-clear Air Force as “thorough-ly professional, disciplined”and performing effectively– an assessment service lead-ers interpreted as an encour-aging thumbs-up.
The overall judgment con-veyed in the April 2013 re-port by a Pentagon advisorygroup headed by retired Gen.Larry Welch, a former AirForce chief of staff, appearsto contradict the picture thathas emerged since then of anuclear missile corps suffer-ing from breakdowns in dis-cipline, morale, training andleadership.
That same month lastyear, for example, an AirForce officer wrote that thenuclear missile unit at MinotAir Force Base, N.D., was suf-fering from “rot,” includinglax attitudes and a poor per-formance by launch officerson a March 2013 inspection.
It’s unclear whether theAir Force took an overlyrosy view of the Welch as-sessment, which was not uni-formly positive, or whetherhis inquiry missed signs ofthe kinds of trouble docu-mented in recent months ina series of Associated Pressreports.
W h i c h e v e r t h e c a s e ,Welch is again at the fore-front of an effort – this timeat Defense Secretary ChuckHagel’s personal direction –to dig for root causes of prob-lems that Hagel said threatento undermine public trustin the nation’s nuclear ar-senal. The most recent suchproblem is an exam-cheating
scandal at a nuclear missilebase that prompted the AirForce to remove nine midlev-el commanders and acceptthe resignation of the base’stop commander. Dozens ofofficers implicated in thecheating face disciplinaryaction, and some might bekicked out.
Welch began the new Ha-gel-directed review in earlyMarch, teaming with retiredNavy Adm. John C. Harvey,who was not involved in theearlier reviews but has ex-tensive nuclear experience.Much rides on what theyfind, not least because Hageland the White House wantto remove any doubt aboutthe safety and security of theU.S. arsenal and the men andwomen entrusted with it.
Hagel’s written instruc-tion to Welch and Harvey inFebruary said they shouldexamine the nuclear missionin both the Air Force and theNavy, focusing on “person-nel, training, testing, com-mand oversight, mission per-formance and investment”and recommend ways to ad-dress any deficiencies theyidentify.
The April 2011 study citedmorale issues among missilecrews.
“They perceive a lack ofknowledge of and respect fortheir mission from withinthe larger Air Force,” it said.
The April 2013 reportticked off numerous signifi-cant improvements. It foundthat senior leaders werepaying more attention, withmore clarity of responsibil-ity for the nuclear missionthan in the years leading upto the 2007 mishap. The sys-tem of inspections and thesupport for nuclear person-nel, logistics and facilitieshad improved.

No clear security fixes following Fort Hood violenceBy EMILY SCHMALLThe Associated Press
DALLAS – After threemass shootings at militarybases in the U.S. over the pastfive years, security expertssaid the sad truth is that thereis probably no practical wayof preventing members of thearmed forces or civilian em-ployees from carrying gunsonto big installations likeFort Hood.
The kind of searches thatwould have prevented ArmySpc. Ivan A. Lopez from driv-ing onto Fort Hood with a pis-tol in his car and killing threefellow soldiers would para-lyze access to a major postand create huge traffic jamsamong the tens of thousandsof workers commuting to andfrom their jobs, officials andexperts said.
“Trying to secure a basefrom guns is a very, very diffi-cult proposition at best – prob-ably impossible,” said Robert
Taylor, who is head of the Uni-versity of Texas-Dallas publicaffairs program and has beena security consultant for theJustice Department and po-lice forces.
“You could do spot checks.You could have people walkthrough metal detectors,”Taylor said. But searching somany people would create bigpractical difficulties, he said.
Dan Corbin, mayor ofneighboring Killeen, saidbase workers would have toleave for their jobs four hoursearly just to get through thebase’s checkpoints if searcheswere instituted.
The security problem onlarge bases stems from theirdual role as military installa-tions and huge workplaces.
Fort Hood, the nation’slargest Army post, covers340 square miles. More than40,000 soldiers live on the post,and more than 80,000 militaryand civilian employees andcontractors come there from
surrounding communitiesevery day to work at offices,equipment facilities, trainingsites and businesses.
Although the post is ringedby fences with guard stations,it otherwise looks like a me-
dium-size city with neigh-borhoods of single-familyhouses, schools, stores andrestaurants.
Security was beefed up in2009 after the base’s first massshooting in which Maj. Nidal
Hasan, an Army psychiatrist,killed 13 people. Security mea-sures were reviewed againlast September after AaronAlexis, a mentally disturbedcivilian contractor, shot 12people to death at the Wash-ington Navy Yard.
In both cases, the killershad credentials to enter themilitary installations andbrought in guns.
After the 2009 attack, FortHood posted more guards,armed them with long-bar-reled weapons and addedtraining on insider attacks.The military also stepped upefforts to identify troubledservice members and joinedan FBI intelligence-sharingprogram.
But authorities did not re-quire searches of all peopleand vehicles entering the post.
While visitors are requiredto check in at a welcome cen-ter outside the fence line to geta pass or an escort, soldierswho are stationed there and
authorized base employeesare usually waved throughcheckpoints if they have De-partment of Defense creden-tials and a car sticker, al-though some are subjected tospot checks.
Even with quick access forthose with credentials, longlines of cars can form at thegates in the morning.
“It would not be realisticto do a pat-down on every em-ployee and soldier for a weap-on on a daily basis,” said Lt.Gen. Mark Milley, Fort Hood’ssenior officer.
After driving onto the post,Lopez shot his first victims atthe medical battalion build-ing, then moved on to a build-ing across the street. He shothimself in the head after beingconfronted by a military po-lice officer.
Defense Secretary ChuckHagel said authorities willreview security procedures atFort Hood again, in light of thelatest rampage.

River Heights, the nine-hole course and drivingrange on Annie GliddenRoad, opened Saturday; andBuena Vista, the 18-holecourse on Buena Vista Drive,opened Monday, said CraigWilson, assistant superinten-dent of golf operations for theDeKalb Park District.
“The only issue we seeis there could be an explo-sion of weeds all at the sametime,” Wilson said.
The cold temperaturesthat froze the ground alsocomplicated high schoolsports schedules. High schoolspring sports have experi-enced scheduling difficultiesfor weeks.
DeKalb High School Ath-letic Director Bryon Houysaid they had to rescheduleabout three weeks worthof games, with conferencegames taking priority. Notall games will be resched-uled.
Genoa-Kingston athleticdirector Phil Jerbi said ath-letes are glad to be outsidefor practices, but they’ve hadto cancel 17 games so far this
spring.“Our maintenance staff
does a great job, and fieldsare ready,” Jerbi said. “Wealso had about 20 kids step upand take ownership gettingthe fields ready for play. Ijust hope the weather holdsout so we can get some gamesplayed.”
Among those not botheredby the cold and snow are lo-cal vintners, who say theirgrape vines have fared wellover the winter because ofthe snow cover.
“We have only plantedhardy vines,” said AlexaTuntland of Waterman Win-ery. “We have French-Ameri-can hybrid grapes, and we’relucky we had snow cover toprotect the vines.”
Although he wasn’t realexcited about playing golf,Genoa area grain farmerJohn Emerson is anxiousto start planting about 1,000acres of corn and soybeans.
“If we have the opportuni-ty, we like to have everythingplanted by May 10,” Emerson
said. “But we’ll plant whenwe can.”
Somonauk farmer, andpresident of the DeKalbCounty Farm Bureau, MarkTuttle, said he’s just wait-ing for the temperatures towarm.
“It has been an unusualwinter, but that’s time wework in the shop anyway,”Tuttle said. “We’re normallynot in the fields until at leastmid-April anyway. Call me ifwe haven’t done anything byMay and then we’ll talk.”

U . S . e m p l o y e r s d i dadd a seasonally adjusted192,000 jobs in March, justbelow February’s 197,000,which was revised high-er. March’s figure nearlymatched last year’s aver-age monthly gain, suggest-ing that the economy hasrecovered from the hiringslowdown caused by severeweather in December andJanuary.
“We’re seeing sustainedimprovement,” said ScottAnderson, chief economistat Bank of the West. “Butwe’re not really that muchstronger than we were lastyear. And we need moreimprovement for a strongereconomy to come into fru-
ition.”The March figures did
signal that stronger gainscould lie ahead: MoreAmericans without jobs arestarting to look for one, andpaychecks are growing.
Most economists expectjob growth to pick up a bitto a monthly pace of 225,000or more. One reason: Amer-icans have reduced theirdebts and benefited fromrising home prices and arising stock market. Betterhousehold finances shouldtranslate into more spend-ing.
And a major drag ongrowth – federal spendingcuts and tax increases – willfade this year, most likelyboosting the economy. Bud-get battles and governmentshutdowns that have erod-ed business and consumerconfidence since the reces-sion ended are unlikely thisyear.

States rebel against powerful new painkillerBy BETH GARBITELLIThe Associated Press
BARRE, Vt. – State of-ficials around the countryare rebelling over a power-ful new painkiller that lawenforcement and publichealth authorities fear couldworsen the nation’s deadlyscourge of heroin and pre-scription drug abuse.
On Thursday, VermontGov. Peter Shumlin an-nounced an emergency orderthat would make it harderfor doctors to prescribe Zo-hydro, an extended-releasecapsule that contains up tofive times the amount of nar-cotic hydrocodone previous-ly available in pills.
Massachusetts Gov. De-val Patrick went further lastweek, ordering an outrightban on prescribing and dis-pensing Zohydro until it ismarketed in a form that isdifficult to abuse.
Some health authoritiessaid addicts can crush thecapsules, thwarting theirslow-release properties, andthen snort or inject the drugfor an immediate and ex-tremely powerful high thatcan prove lethal.
The Food and Drug Ad-ministration approved Zo-hydro last fall, and it hit themarket last month.
“What puzzles all of usis the recent FDA action toapprove a new opiate that’sstronger and likely to beeven more addictive because
of its strength,” Shumlinsaid. “Zohydro has been ap-proved by the FDA to the be-wilderment of many of us.”
Vermont Health Com-missioner Harry Chen saidof the FDA decision: “Onemight wonder if they’re onthe same planet.”
Prescription drug abuseis the nation’s fastest-grow-ing drug problem, with morethan 4.5 million Americansabusing pain relievers, ac-cording to a 2013 Drug En-forcement Administrationreport.
Law enforcement andpublic health officials saythat for many people, pre-scription painkiller abusecan pave the way to hero-
in addiction. In January,Shumlin devoted the bulk ofhis State of the State addressto Vermont’s “full-blownheroin crisis.”
The backlash againstZohydro has been growingsince the FDA approved thedrug against the recommen-dation of an FDA advisorycommittee.
Late last year, 28 stateattorneys general signed aletter asking the FDA to re-voke the drug’s approval orrequire the manufacturerto reformulate the drug tomake it harder to crush.
Also, Sen. Joe Manchin,D-W.Va., and Rep. StephenLynch, D-Mass., introducedlegislation that would com-
pel the FDA to withdraw thedrug.
San Diego-based Zogenix,which makes Zohydro, saidthat it has set up a boardof experts to guard againstabuse and that its sales rep-resentatives are not beingpaid based on volume, butrather on their efforts toensure prescribers, phar-macists and patients under-stand the medication’s risksand benefits.
Zohydro belongs to a fam-ily of medicines known asopiates or opioids.
Others include morphine,heroin and oxycodone, thepainkiller in OxyContin.
Its painkil l ing powercomes from hydrocodone.Other medications, such asVicodin, contain the samenarcotic but also include ac-etaminophen, the active in-gredient in Tylenol.
The FDA said Zohydromeets its standards and pro-vides an important optionfor patients with chronicpain.
The agency, which in2010 approved a crush-re-sistant version of OxyCon-tin to discourage abuse,s a i d a b u s e - d e t e r r i n gformulations of Zohydro arein the early stages of devel-opment.
Vermont’s emergencyrule governing Zohydro in-cludes requirements thatprescribers conduct a thor-ough medical evaluation andrisk assessment.

Legalized pot hasn’tstopped black market
By SADIE GURMANThe Associated Press
DENVER – A 25-year-old is shot dead trying tosell marijuana the old-fash-ioned, illegal way. Two menfrom Texas set up a ware-house to grow more thanthey would ever need. Andthree people buying pot ina grocery store parking lotare robbed at gunpoint.
While no one expect-ed the state’s first-in-the-nation recreational saleswould eliminate the needfor dangerous undergroundsales overnight, the vio-lence has raised concernsamong police, prosecutorsand pot advocates that ablack market for marijua-na is alive and well in Col-orado.
“It has done nothing
more than enhance the op-portunity for the black mar-ket,” said Lt. Mark Comteof the Colorado Springs po-lice vice and narcotics unit.“If you can get it tax-free onthe corner, you’re going toget it on the corner.”
It’s difficult to measurewhether there has beenan increase in pot-relatedcrimes beyond anecdotalreports because no one ateither the federal or statelevels is keeping track ofthe numbers of killings,robberies and other crimeslinked directly to marijua-na.
Pot advocates said thestate is in a transition pe-riod, and while pot-relatedcrimes will continue, theywill begin to decline asmore stores open and pricesof legal marijuana decline.

generated for police fleet andequipment needs.
As part of the budget pro-cess last year, the council as-signed $50,000 of the admin-istrative tow revenue to fleetreplacement and $30,000 toequipment. The rest wasn’tearmarked and has beenreceived and spent from anaccount not identified in thecity’s budget, although ex-penses from the fund are re-viewed monthly by the coun-cil.
The city finance office alsotracked money in and out ofthe account, meaning the de-partment was spending onlyfrom what was available,Lowery said.
Some expenditures, suchas a $23,000 bi-directionalantenna and $15,000 for twofingerprinting machines,were brought forward forcouncil approval, but manyothers were authorized atLowery’s discretion.
Administrative tow feesalso bankrolled purchasesthat didn’t fit into the $12.7million budget for the newpolice station, such as $6,259that was spent on the sta-tion’s radio room, nearly$6,000 for furniture and $5,283for blinds, as well as thou-sands of dollars for office andjanitorial supplies, accordingto the city’s monthly expendi-ture reports.
“There wasn’t enoughavailable funding in thebudget to furnish the opera-tional needs of this station,”Lowery said. “I believe thesewere essential to operate thenew station. If we didn’t havethis money, we would have
been before the council withrequests.”
Other major expenses in-cluded thousands of dollarsfor bulletproof vests, ammu-nition, vehicle repairs andoffice supplies, and nearly$20,000 in items for the de-partment’s new canine unit.
The police departmentalso used funds from towingvehicles to purchase vehiclesof its own, including a ChevyTahoe for $30,000 and an am-bulance purchased from thefire department for $10,000that was converted to a crim-inal transport vehicle.RETHINKING SPENDING
APPROVAL
There isn’t a problem withthe use of the administrativetow fees, Mayor John Reysaid, but the fund will likelyreceive closer scrutiny as thecity brings in financial con-sultants as part of City Man-ager Anne Marie Gaura’sfinancial responsibility ini-tiative.
“I fully anticipate therewill be other reporting pro-cedures put in place, not onlyfor the administrative towfee, but for others, that willincrease our accountabilityand transparency,” Rey said.
Gaura has already madechanges to stem spendingfrom the administrative towaccount. Rather than use ad-ministrative tow money tobuy, for example, bulletproofvests, Gaura mandated thedepartment spend from itsbudgeted accounts.
“The police departmentw a s n ’ t d o i n g a n y t h i n gwrong,” Gaura said. “Theywere following the policy inplace. If anything, I came inand changed how things wereplayed.”
Further, the police depart-
ment will have to share thespoils from administrativetow fee once the new fiscalyear starts in July. Gaurasaid the administrative towmoney will become a reve-nue stream for the generalfund and support operationalneeds for the entire city.
When she announcedher financial responsibilityinitiative earlier this year,Gaura noted police usedadministrative tow fees topurchase $23,000 in fitnessequipment for the new po-lice station before obtainingcouncil approval, which isrequired for expenses great-er than $20,000.
Lowery explained the de-partment received donationsfor the equipment that wouldhave brought the cost underthe $20,000 threshold, but for-got to apply them before thepurchase.
“There was a great dealof discretion with this fund;finance had the ability to seeeverything and the councilreviewed the finances,” Low-ery said. “At the same time, Ihave absolutely no problemwith greater financial ac-countability. I embrace it.”
City Attorney Dean Frie-ders, who prosecutes theadministrative tow casesfor the city, maintainedthe efficacy of the programshouldn’t be clouded by pastaccounting practices.
“This is one of the rareinstances where I can pointto an ordinance and say ithas a direct and discernibleimpact on the safety of thecommunity,” Frieders said.“We are working to ensurethe finances are subject tothe same rigorous standardsas the rest of the city’s expen-ditures.”

Thumbs up: To a plan to let drivers “sign and go”after receiving a traffic ticket. For decades, policehave taken Illinois residents’ driver’s license as bondafter writing them a traffic ticket. A new proposal,sponsored by Democratic state Sen. Mike Noland ofElgin, would allow drivers to sign a written promiseto comply with the terms of their ticket. Those whoviolate the terms could have their license suspended.Identification now is required for many everydaytasks, and it’s a considerable inconvenience for citi-zens to be without a license. Considering that there arestill penalties for failing to comply, and that out-of-state drivers already get to keep their licenses, this is acommon-sense change.
Thumbs down: To more evidence of cronyism in pub-lic agency hiring. A report issued this week by a taskforce appointed by Gov. Pat Quinn found that HouseSpeaker Michael Madigan had personally directedhiring, firing and promotions at Metra, the organiza-tion that operates the commuter rail lines connectingChicago and its suburbs. The report found Madiganrecommended 26 people for jobs, promotions and rais-es, we suspect not because they were the best-qualifiedcandidates but because they had ingratiated them-selves. Government, which is supposed to be an equalopportunity employer, should not make decisions thisway. The sad fact is that it does and politically connect-ed people benefit at the expense of others.
Thumbs up: To taking the intimidation out of becom-ing a runner. Local running group NITRO will kick offits annual Walk to Run program April 16, a programdesigned to help non runners gently train, over nineweeks, to run their first 5K. It’s been proven that hav-ing other people to work out with increases a person’sability to stick with a fitness program, but it can behard to find a partner, and for a non runner, joininga club with experienced runners can be intimidating.NITRO’s program starts at a walk and gives peopleencouragement and training tips along the way.
Thumbs up: To meaningful college internships.Northern Illinois University President Douglas Bakertold those gathered for a DeKalb County EconomicDevelopment Corporation meeting Thursday that hewants every NIU student to have an internship experi-ence. This hands-on experience can bolster a resumeor solidify career aspirations. College interns also canbring new energy and ideas to an office. We encouragelocal employers to consider starting or strengtheninginternship opportunities.
Thumbs up: To new growth. The DeKalb CountyCommunity Gardens is starting a community orchardthat will provide fruit and nuts to help food pantries,senior centers and community meal sites. The or-chard will supplement the more than 200 gardens thatalready provide vegetables for those in need. We wishthe DeKalb County Community Gardens the best inthis new endeavor.

It is hard to imagine anyone, from conserva-tive to liberal, who would want their employer’sreligious beliefs imposed on their workforce orinsurance coverage. Religious freedom is a person-al freedom, not an employer choice.
For that reason, the U.S. Supreme Court shouldreject Hobby Lobby’s claim that providing employ-ees with certain contraceptive coverage under theAffordable Care Act violates the company’s reli-gious liberty. It doesn’t. A firm run by executiveswith deep religious convictions is not the same as achurch or religious nonprofit organization.
The owners of Oklahoma-based Hobby Lobbyand Pennsylvania-based Conestoga Wood Special-ties are challenging the health care act’s require-ment that their firms offer insurance coveringdrugs and devices that they contend end humanlife after conception. Although the firms’ ownersdon’t oppose all contraceptives, they say coveringsuch drugs and devices forces them to violate theirreligious beliefs against taking a human life.
The deep-seated personal convictions of HobbyLobby’s executives and Conestoga’s Mennoniteowners are not in question. At issue is whether aprivate, profit-making business can impose reli-gious beliefs on employees, a point Justices SoniaSotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ruth Bader Ginsburgzeroed in on during oral arguments in the case lastmonth.
They’re right. Extending the religious rightsof individuals to corporations that don’t have anexplicit religious mission would have unintended,far-reaching consequences on both secular andreligious freedoms.
Individuals have long cited religious reasonsfor opposing all sorts of laws, and the courts haveworked through cases very carefully to preservebalance. Extending conscientious objector status tosecular corporations would be a mistake. Religiousfreedom is an individual right, and the justicesshould affirm this principle.

Easy spending someoneelse’s moneyTo the Editor:When most of us are faced with
financial challenges, the first thingwe do is look for ways to cut ourspending. As painful as it is, weknowwe can do without somethings, we must do without somethings. Then, if we get a raise, theextra money is used to pay down
our bills, not to go further intodebt.That’s us. Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn
and the state legislature don’toperate by the same set of rules.First, they got their own raise:They increased our taxes.The governor tries to make it
easier to swallow by giving home-owners a $500 property tax re-bate. This is a trick. The politicians
will get their $500 back and thensome faster than a homeownercan say “I’ve been robbed.”Second, there is no thought to
reducing spending. Words andphrases such as “fair share” and“the most vulnerable among us”are used to bolster that position.This is a guilt trip. The troubleis, Gov. Quinn, I don’t feel guiltyanymore, I feel disrespected. You
look at us taxpayers as though weare just a source of income, withno thought or concern as to howhard we worked to earn OUR mon-ey. Total disrespect.I have often heard the expres-
sion “It’s easy to spend someoneelse’s money.” That, Gov. Quinn,should be your campaign slogan.

Outwitting the purveyors of dependencyDivide and conquer is an age-old strate-
gy, effectively used by many in positionsof power to ensure that they retain theirwealth and authority.
During the dark days of slavery inAmerica, there were many geograph-ic areas where the number of slavessignificantly surpassed the number ofwhites and slave owners. This occasionedappropriate anxiety for the owners, whocleverly sowed seeds of discord among thedifferent groups of slaves in an attemptto effectively destroy unity. For example,field slaves were told that the house slavesthought of themselves as superior.
This worked in most cases, althoughthere were notable instances of secretcooperation between the slaves to ac-complish various goals. It required realwisdom and insight to avoid easy manip-ulation by the slave owners, who usuallyused slaves loyal to them to accomplishtheir nefarious objectives.
In today’s culture, there are politicalforces that see the descendants of slavesas useful objects for maintaining their po-sitions of wealth and power. By promisingto care for their every need, they createdependency.
Frightening those dependents intothinking they will be abandoned if othersare in control, they create loyalty that isundeserved but fierce, loyalty that trans-lates into the real goal: votes. Anythingor anyone that threatens this paradigm ofvictim and protector must be destroyed,lest the victims recognize the deceitful-ness of their manipulators and revolt.
The most dangerous people to themodern manipulators are people whohave freed themselves from the plantationmentality. They eschew the propaganda ofvictimhood and advocate for personal re-sponsibility. They see the value found inthe true compassion of a hand up ratherthan a handout.
The tragedy is that many “leaders”of the black community succumb to thepoison of the controlling elites, who make
them feel “cool” and important. I’m surethat some actually realize what is hap-pening, but – like the kids you rememberin high school – they don’t want to riskbeing ostracized and expelled from the “incrowd” and therefore remain silent.
It is so important for the black commu-nity to realize that there is tremendousstrength in unity and that disagreementon some issues does not have to createanimosity. In fact, by engaging in opendiscussions rather than demonizing, agreat deal can be learned by all parties.
I am a registered independent, but Ihave many friends who are Democratsand many who are Republicans. Onefriend who identifies himself as a Demo-crat left Alabama at age 16 and headed toBoston in search of employment. He acci-dentally ended up in Hartford, Conn., andworked in a lowly position as a construc-tion aide for a hotel that was being built.This young black man from Birminghamhad a strong work ethic and was giftedwith common sense.
Today, he not only owns that hotel, buthe also owns many other businesses andis a philanthropist. We do not disagreeabout most important things, but we havesome political disagreements, which haveno negative impact on our friendship orour ability to work together on projects. Ifsomeone tried to exploit our differences,we would have a hearty laugh at theirexpense.
Those who spew venom at black con-servatives would do well to read about thelives and philosophies of such luminariesas Booker T. Washington, George Wash-ington Carver, Frederick Douglass, Harri-et Tubman and many others who refusedto subscribe to the victim mentality.
They should make an attempt to un-
derstand what it takes to ascend from thelifestyle of Southern sharecroppers to theoffice of secretary of state of the UnitedStates of America. Perhaps then theywould rally to the side of CondoleezzaRice, who achieved this and much moreincluding becoming a concert pianist.
When the black community toleratesa group of liberal Rutgers professors whosucceeded in disinviting Rice to theircommencement because she is a blackconservative, they embolden the con-trolling elites and dramatically minimizeaccomplishments that should be a point ofpride for a person of any ethnic group.
We must fight for the precious heartsand souls of all of our young people. Wehave to give them the “can-do” attitudethat characterized the rapid ascension ofAmerica. We must defang the dividers byignoring them and thinking for ourselves.
I wish the haters and manipulatorswould take a moment to examine theirhearts and motives. I hope they will thinkabout using their intellectual talents forgood.
They would be wise to ask themselvesthis question: How much good did beingone of the cool guys in high school do inthe long run? Let us all give honor to theconcepts of hard work, integrity, kind-ness, compassion, personal responsibility,family values, and faith in and obedienceto God.
Many people from all backgroundsgave up their freedom, their blood andeven their lives to provide a life of libertyand dignity for those trapped by thechains of legal discrimination and hatred.
We must not allow their sacrifice to be-come meaningless by allowing “do-good-ers” to substitute the chains of overtracism with the chains of dependency, lowexpectations, victimhood and misdirectedanger.

DeKALB – After the DeKalb soft-ball team’s scheduled game againstStreamwood was canceled Fridaymorning because of inclement weath-er, the Barbs were out of luck. Thatwas until Hinsdale Central rentedout the DeKalb Sports and RecreationCenter and asked DeKalb for a game.
In a matchup where each team bat-ted its full roster, the Barbs earned a3-2 win. A walk-off RBI double from
Lindsey Costliow plated Katie Schnei-der for the victory.
“It was good. It was tiring, fun andit was good to keep playing with theweather we have been having,” senior
shortstop Sarah Friedlund said.Friedlund, who had an RBI triple in
her only at-bat of the contest, was gladto get a game in even if it was indoors.The senior said many of the Barbs haveplayed indoors on several occasions.
“We also have a lot of girls who playtravel ball and have been in indoor sit-uations,” Friedlund said. “This is ourhome court and many of us have playedhere when we were younger, so it is alot easier to come in here and play.”
This isn’t the first time DeKalb (6-0) has played indoors this season. The
Barbs’ first two games this season wereindoors. DeKalb coach Jeff Davis said hisseniors will show the younger playershow to deal with these constant changes.
“They are still high school studentsand athletes. You have to prepare foreverything,” Davis said. “We have goodsenior leadership on the team and theyounger kids are going to follow. Mostof those seniors have been with me forfour years, so the expectations are highfor them every day they show up.”

Manager: Schumacherhas ‘moments ofconsciousness’GRENOBLE, France – Michael
Schumacher is showing “mo-ments of consciousness andawakening” more than threemonths after suffering serioushead injuries in a skiing acci-dent, the retired Formula Onestar’s manager said Friday.Schumacher, 45, fell while
skiing Dec. 29 in France andhit the right side of his headon a rock, cracking his helmet.Doctors operated to removeblood clots from his brain, butsome were left because theywere too deeply embedded.Schumacher’s condition
stabilized after he was placedin a drug-induced coma. Inlate January, doctors at ahospital in the French city ofGrenoble began the processof withdrawing sedatives totry to wake him up.“Michael is making progress
on his way,” Schumacher’smanager, Sabine Kehm, saidin a statement Friday. “Heshows moments of conscious-ness and awakening.“We are on his side during
his long and difficult fight,together with the team of thehospital in Grenoble, and wekeep remaining confident.”She added that she and
Schumacher’s family “do notintend to disclose details.This is necessary to protectthe privacy of Michael andhis family, and to enable themedical team to work in fullcalmness.”Schumacher earned acclaim
for his uncommon and some-times ruthless driving talent,which took him to a record91 race wins. He retired fromFormula One in 2012 afterwinning an unmatched sevenworld titles.The accident happened on a
family vacation in the Alps asSchumacher was skiing withhis 14-year-old son.

IHSA, lawmaker butt heads on HR 895By JEFF ARNOLD
IHSA Executive DirectorMarty Hickman believes thenonprofit organization heoversees is being targeted bythe state representative whohas introduced a house resolu-tion seeking more transparen-cy from the association.
House Resolution 895,brought forward by state Rep.Linda Chapa LaVia, D-Aurora,seeks to set up public hearingson how the IHSA administersand funds high school sports.But Hickman takes exception
to a suggestion listed in thefinal lines of the resolutionthat the hearings also consider“the feasibility of statutorilytransferring the duties andfunctions of the IHSA to theIllinois State Board of Educa-tion.”
Hickman said in a radio in-terview with WRMJ in Aledothat Chapa LaVia’s proposalamounts to a state takeover. Ina phone interview with ShawMedia on Friday afternoon,Hickman said the IHSA feltblindsided by the legislator’sefforts.
“We feel like we’re a very
responsible organization,”
Hickman said. “We pay our
bills, we fund our pension,
we balanced our budget and I
would be happy to put our re-
cord of fiscal responsibility up
against anyone – including the
state of Illinois.
“If it’s that kind of conductthat warrants the governmentcoming in and targeting you,then we are really in a badway.”
But Chapa LaVia said Fri-day afternoon that it neverwas her intent to turn the IH-SA’s duties over to the stateboard of education. It’s a mes-sage she said she told Hickmanalong with state Rep. JehanGordon, D-Peoria, when theymet this week.
Instead, she said, her goalwith the resolution is to seektransparency on some of thecontracts that the IHSA –
which she characterized Fri-day as being “untouchable”– currently maintains.
“I said it over and over,”Chapa LaVia said. “So now,we’re at the point where he’sjust lying.”
Added the state rep: “It justmakes me suspicious the wayhe is reacting.”
Chapa LaVia said this weekshe is not conducting a “witchhunt.” But she believes peopleshould have a window intohow the IHSA conducts itsbusiness.

Mark Maroon of Aurora takes a picture of a cutout of his brother-in-law before the Cubs’ home openeragainst the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday in Chicago. The Cubs lost, 7-2.
Win or lose, Cubs passion at Wrigley enduresOPENING DAY: PHILLIES 7, CUBS 2
CHICAGO – Greg Fizdale is
about to become a father.
Fizdale’s wife, Leslie, is
eight months pregnant with
the couple’s first child. If her
pregnancy were any further
along, it might have interfered
with Fizdale’s annual guys
trip from Indianapolis to see
the Cubs’ home opener Friday
at Wrigley Field.
“I was telling her it was
good timing,” Fizdale, 35, said
with a grin before his eighth
consecutive home opener.
“Because I probably would
have missed the birth.”
Fizdale was kidding. At
least, I think he was kidding.
The only certainty is that
the party has returned to
Wrigleyville after one of the
most miserable winters in this
city’s history. And judging by
the packed bars, crowded side-
walks and filled stadium before
Friday’s game, Cubs fans will
party regardless of whether
their team finishes first, worst
or somewhere in between.
Granted, those fans might
leave a few innings earlier
than they used to, as was the
case during the Cubs’ quiet 7-2
loss against the Philadelphia
Phillies. But every game on
the North Side draws a crowd,
and Opening Day continues to
be extra special.
Across the street from the
stadium, hundreds of people
filled Bernie’s Tap & Grill.
Eric Bonano arrived at 9
a.m. and found a spot in the
outdoor beer garden, where
he drank Budweisers in wind
chills that crept to 28 degrees
by game time.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Rookie
right-hander Erik Johnson put
the White Sox in a big hole early.
The Kansas City Royals
scored three runs in the first
and another in the second off
Johnson en route to a 7-5 victo-
ry Friday over the Sox.
“The biggest thing is that
I’ve got to compete better for
my team,” said Johnson, who
was making his sixth career
start. “We were right there. We
put five runs on the board after
I put them in a hole. You’ve got
to give credit to our offense for
never giving up.”
Johnson retired only 14 of
the 28 batters he faced, yield-
ing seven runs on 10 hits, threewalks and a hit batter to takethe loss. The Sox trailed 7-2 bythe time Johnson was pulledwith two outs in the fifth.
“I don’t think it’s confi-dence,” Sox catcher Tyler Flow-ers said of Johnson. “He alwayshas that same demeanor outthere. I definitely don’t thinkhe’s lacking confidence. He wasjust missing some spots and gotus behind in some counts wherewe had to throw strikes. It limit-ed what pitches we could throw.
His big thing is getting ahead so
he can utilize all his pitches.”
Alex Gordon drove in three
runs and Jeremy Guthrie
pitched effectively into the
sixth inning. Gordon hit a bas-
es-clearing double in the first in-
ning and Guthrie allowed four
runs on seven hits, four walks
and a hit batter in 5⅔ innings.
Lorenzo Cain drove in two
runs with a two-out fifth inning
single that put Kansas City
ahead 7-2.
The Sox chased Guthrie and
narrowed the lead to two runs
and missed opportunities to
seize the lead.
“The offense is doing a good
job, no matter what the situa-
tion is,” Flowers said. “We were
down early, but we did a good job
of getting some innings started
early and guys coming through
with some big hits. Today [the
Royals] came through in more
big situations than we did. It
seems like anybody who comes
up is capable of starting a rally.”
Jose Abreu and Conor Gil-
laspie hit sacrifice flies against
Guthrie, and Adam Eaton hit
a two-run single off reliever
Kelvin Herrera in the sixth,
but both runs were charged to
Guthrie.
Flowers, who went 4 for 4
Thursday against Minnesota,
had hits in his first three at-
bats, but the streak ended in
the eighth when Aoki dropped
his fly ball to right.

CHICAGO – The historichome opener for the Cubslooked like so many of theirApril games at Wrigley Fieldover the years.
A big crowd on a cold andblustery afternoon. A coupleof big homers for the oppos-ing team, and then a quietninth inning as the hometeam goes down in order in ahalf-full ballpark.
Welington Castillo hit asolo homer Friday, but theCubs lost, 7-2, to the Philadel-phia Phillies in the first homegame for rookie managerRick Renteria.
“We had some balls thatjust missed,” Renteria said.“They ended up hitting someballs that carried a little bitmore. But I think all in all, wedid not go in there and havea very good plan of attack ingeneral so it kind of cost us.”
Chase Utley hit a two-runhomer and an RBI single forPhiladelphia, which finishedwith 11 hits. Pinch hitterJohn Mayberry Jr. also hada two-run shot, and Ben Re-vere and Domonic Brown hadthree hits apiece.
“It was cold out there andthe wind was blowing. It madeit even colder,” Utley said.“But I thought overall weswung the bats pretty well.”
The Phillies also got astrong outing from RobertoHernandez (1-0), who pitchedinto the sixth inning in hisfirst game after signing a $4.5million, one-year contractwith Philadelphia in the off-season.
“He did his job today. Helooked good,” Phillies manag-er Ryne Sandberg said. “Real-ly liked his two-seam fastball,action on it was going downpretty good.”
Starlin Castro had an RBIsingle for the Cubs, who havedropped four consecutivehome openers for the firsttime since 1991 through ’94.Travis Wood (0-1) struck outeight in 6⅓ innings, but wascharged with four runs, threeearned, and six hits.
“I’d like to have a couplepitches back,” Wood said.“The one to Utley, the onethere at the end to Reverethat ended up chasing mefrom the ballgame. But oth-er than that I thought I keptthem pretty off balanced andkept us in the game.”
Wrigley Field was alldressed up for the first game ofits 100th anniversary season.

Garcia moves to top ofHouston Open leaderboardHUMBLE, Texas – Sergio
Garcia has yet to finish lowerthan 16th in a PGA Tour eventthis season.The Spaniard appears well on
his way to keeping that streakintact this week after postinga 7-under-par 65 and matchingthe course 36-hole record of 12under overall after the secondround of the Houston Open onFriday.As well as Garcia played in
taking a one-shot lead over MattKuchar, the focus afterwardwas a mix of this week – with aheavy dose of attention turnedtoward next week’s Masters.Garcia has eight PGA Tour wins
in his career, but the 34-year-oldworld No. 8 – once thought tobe Tiger Woods’ challenger forthe top spot in the world – stillis in search of his first majorchampionship.
Braun booed in 1st roadgame since suspensionBOSTON – From the boos to
the bad at-bats, Ryan Braun’sfirst road game since his 65-game suspension was a roughafternoon.He went 0 for 5 against the
Boston Red Sox on Friday. Buthe was 5 for 5 in getting hootedby Fenway Park’s passionatefans.“All I can do is focus on things
I can control,” Braun said afterthe Milwaukee Brewers spoiledBoston’s home opener witha 6-2 win. “I certainly wasn’tanticipating a reception like I gotin Milwaukee.”In the season opener at
home Monday, fans applaudedloudly as he walked to the plateagainst the Atlanta Braves. InBoston, the boos started evenbefore the game as the 2011NL MVP heard them when thestarting lineup was announcedand Milwaukee players lined upalong the third-base line.

“We don’t have a MardiGras here,” said Bonano, 37,who marked his 14th consec-utive home opener. “And thisis about the closest thing thatthere is to it.”
You want to know the depthof Bonano’s dedication to theCubs?
“I actually dropped out ofschool in 2003 because I wasfollowing that 2003 season somuch,” said Bonano, who waspursuing a political sciencedegree at Northern Illinois. “Ifell some credits short becauseI just missed class after classafter class.”
Bonano wasn’t kidding.At least, I don’t think he waskidding.
Elsewhere in the noisybar, passion teamed up withpoignancy.
Juliann Atkinson of Win-throp Harbor wore a buttonwith a picture of her latebrother-in-law, Chuck Gesky.Atkinson sat beside Sara Ames,Gesky’s daughter.
Gesky attended 30 consecu-tive Cubs home openers beforehis death in 2009. His familyhas preserved the tradition asa happy remembrance of theirloved one.
“We come out for him,” saidAtkinson, 59. “Every opener.And we won’t miss it.”
Nobody was going to missit, not at Bernie’s or any of theother establishments in theneighborhood that were buzz-ing long before the first pitch.
Long, long, long before thefirst pitch.
“I was getting here at 7:30 inthe morning, and I was gettingpoured on by the rain, and thevisitors’ gate was locked,” saidPhillies manager Ryne Sand-berg, who played 15 seasonswith the Cubs. “So I stood thereand then I figured out I had togo in through the Captain Mor-gan Club, which was packedwith fans and cameras.
“So, that was my entranceto the ballpark. It was a littletough entry, but just the mem-ories of driving up and gettingclose to the neighborhood andseeing the ballpark every year,I always felt the excitement
when I saw the ballpark.”The Captain Morgan Club
was jam-packed, but I did man-age to squeeze in to the CubbyBear at the corner of Clark andAddison after visiting Bernie’s.There, I met Scot Gibson ofGlenview and his brother-in-law, Chris Hemp of PoplarGrove, who huddled over atable of Miller Lites, tater tots,Buffalo wings and Chicagodogs.
Gibson, 52, arrived at 7 a.m.to celebrate his 10th consecu-tive home opener.
“My dad used to take medown here when I was a littlekid,” Gibson said. “I’ve beenwatching these guys since the’60s. I would never root foranother team.
“There’s no better place towatch a ballgame, anywhere,ever.”
Other stadiums offer waybetter amenities than the100-year-old Wrigley. However,like Sandberg, new Cubs play-ers do not take Wrigleyville’satmosphere for granted.
Relief pitcher Justin Grimmgrew up in Bristol, Va., whichhas a population of about17,000. He’s gratefully adjustingto the Cubs’ behemoth fan base.
“When you’re on your wayto the park and you’re drivingthrough Wrigley, you kind ofget this feeling that comes overyou, like, ‘It’s go time,’ ” saidGrimm, 25. “You see all thepeople, you start to get excited.Honestly, I can’t really describethat feeling.”
It’s part expectant-fatherexcitement and part in-me-moriam bittersweet. It’s partskipping-school devotion andpart since-the-’60s tradition.
“I love the team, I love theneighborhood,” Bonano saidbefore heading to the park. “It’svery welcoming and open tohaving a party.
“And if you’re going to havea party about anything, whynot have a party with the teamthat you cry and bleed with,year after year?”
After year, after year, afteryear …

Johnson’s early struggles sink Sox
SPORTS Saturday, April 5, 2014 • Page B3Daily Chronicle / Daily-Chronicle.com
At issue is a series of exclusivecontracts that the IHSA maintainswith vendors and suppliers thatprovide athletic equipment andclothing in exchange, the resolutionreads, for monetary compensationto the IHSA. The IHSA also receivesfunds from the National Federationof High Schools that holds the broad-cast rights for IHSA state tourna-ments.
But because the IHSA holds 501(c)(3) status, Hickman said he and theassociation’s board of directors arenot obligated to provide that infor-mation. He points to the fact that theIHSA posts its financials and annu-al report on its website as evidencethat the IHSA has nothing to hide.
“Look at other organizations thatare out there that are similar to us –501(c)(3)’s – tell me another one thatis under the same scrutiny that weare,” Hickman said. “I don’t knowwhat more transparency we shouldhave. I think we’re pretty transpar-ent.”
Chapa LaVia, however, con-siders the IHSA different becauseit oversees athletics being playedat the state’s public and privateschools. The resolution states that“public high school athletic and ac-
ademic programs belong to the tax-
payers who fund their local school
districts.” But Hickman said that
schools are not mandated to carry
IHSA membership, giving them
the option not to operate within its
boundaries.
Earlier this week, both the Illi-
nois Press Association and Illinois
Broadcaster’s Association backed
Chapa LaVia’s request for more
transparency, stating that the IHSA
has “almost no accountability or
oversight.”
Again, Hickman refers to the IH-
SA’s not-for-profit status and can’t
understand why the association is
being targeted by Chapa LaVia. He
characterized this week’s meeting as
two sides moving in opposite direc-
tions and that he – like Chapa LaVia
– isn’t certain where the process will
go moving forward. Both sides main-
tain they’ve got lawmakers support-
ing their respective opinions.
“There’s some things that we
don’t feel are the kind of things that
we would release – including these
contracts – because of our agreement
from these groups,” Hickman said.
Hickman said that some of
the agreements help fund IHSA
programs and “do more for high
schools.” He said the IHSA does
not charge schools to participate in
events and that the association gave
$2.7 million in revenue last year.
Chapa LaVia said, however, that
if that’s the case and if the IHSA has
done plenty of good for high school
athletics, it shouldn’t have a prob-
lem being more open. Part of her
bottom line, she said, is making sure
that “people aren’t profiting off our
kids unjustly.”
“Why should [Hickman] worry?”
Chapa LaVia said. “If he’s doing
such a great job, he shouldn’t be wor-
ried. ... People want to know there
is transparency there. There’s a lot
of money going in and out of the or-
ganization. If you’re saying you’ve
given $2 million to the schools in my
state, then that’s my business.”
Hickman disagreed, saying the
IHSA shouldn’t have to answer for
how it conducts business, especially
when he said much of the revenue
– including the nearly $11 million
the IHSA reported it generated in
2012 and 2013, according to its an-
nual report – is being put back into
operating tournaments and other
events for the 300,000 students in Illi-
nois who participate in sports.
Chapa LaVia’s resolution and in-
quiries leave Hickman scratching
his head.
“To criticize someone for having
quality relationships with quality
companies,” Hickman said, “is just
hard for me to fathom.”

GIRLS SOCCER: GENOA-KINGSTON 3, ROCKFORD CHRISTIAN LIFE 1
By DAILY CHRONICLE [email protected]
The Genoa-Kingston girlssoccer team defeated RockfordChristian Life, 3-1, Friday athome.
Junior Ashley Grimm
opened the scoring two min-
utes into the second half and
Nikki Hebel followed with a
goal just more than a minute
later. Grimm sealed the win
with her second goal of the
match after Rockford Chris-
tian Life cut the Cogs’ lead to
2-1 on a penalty kick in the
middle of the second half.
Hebel, Grimm and Morga-
na Gandsey each recorded an
assist in the win.
“After playing back-to-back
games in unseasonable, windy
weather, we are glad to get the
win,” G-K coach Randy Tate
said. “I asked a lot of the girls
this week and they responded
well under unfavorable condi-
tions.”
G-K (3-1, 1-1 Big North-
ern Conference) plays Indian
Creek on Monday on the road.
Grimm scores twice in Cogs’ win
Hawks remain onColorado’s heels forhome-ice advantage
By MARK [email protected]
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Around
10:45 p.m. or so Thursday night, Joel
Quenneville was holed up in his Unit-
ed Center office with the rest of the
Blackhawks’ coaching staff. The Col-
orado Avalanche were a minute away
from losing to the Rangers, meaning
the Hawks were a minute away from
closing to within one point of home-
ice advantage in the first round of the
Stanley Cup playoffs.
Then the Avs did what the Avs do,
tying the game late and going on to
win.
“We left when they tied it up,”
Quenneville said.Not because the shootout victory
was inevitable – though for the Avsthese days, it sure seems that way –but because the Hawks had a flight toColumbus to catch.
But make no mistake: Althoughthe Hawks pulled out a dramatic 4-3victory against the Blue Jackets onFriday night on Ben Smith’s scram-bling goal with 3.7 seconds left in thethird period, at least part of their at-tention remains firmly on Colorado,and the first-round series that almostcertainly will start in less than twoweeks.
“We’ve been thinking like that fora while now,” Quenneville said. “Ithink probably both teams look [atit] like it’s inevitable. Got a lot of re-spect for them. … They’ve got a lot ofweaponry. They’ve got a lot of skill.They’ve got a lot of talent. It’s a dan-gerous team.”
The Hawks’ victory Friday, how-ever, dealt a cruel blow to Columbus’
playoff push. The Blue Jackets areclinging to the second wild-card spotin the Eastern Conference.
For the Hawks, though, it wastheir second confidence-building vic-tory is as many nights without theirtwo biggest stars – Patrick Kane andJonathan Toews. And it was gritty,makeshift lines such as Bryan Bic-kell, Peter Regin and Jeremy Morinleading the charge.
“We miss those guys big time, it’spretty clear, but guys are steppingup, guys are playing hard and we’replaying, for the most part, a simplegame,” said Smith, who pushed aDuncan Keith rebound under a pileof bodies and past Sergei Bobrovskyfor the game-winner. “And that’s
helping us keep games close and pullthrough in the end.”
The Hawks also got goals fromMorin, Patrick Sharp and MarianHossa in the back-and-forth affair.Antti Raanta wasn’t sharp early on –giving up shaky goals in the openingminutes of both the first and secondperiods – but matched Bobrovsky bigstop for big stop in the tense third pe-riod. It was Raanta’s first win sinceJan. 12.
The Hawks entered the final twoweeks on a three-game losing streakand with Toews and Kane hurt. Sud-denly, things are looking up again.
“If you play the right way, yougive yourself a chance,” Quennevillesaid. “The last two wins here are veryexciting, for where we were a coupledays ago.”
It won’t be easy to catch the Avs,who have maintained their hold onsecond place in the Central by theskin of their teeth – rallying againstthe Blue Jackets and then rallying
against the Rangers for huge victo-ries this week. They’ve won five in arow to keep the Hawks in third. Fri-day’s victory brought the Hawks towithin one point, but Colorado hastwo games in hand.
Had a few breaks gone the otherway for the Avs, the Hawks might besitting in second place. But Quenne-ville had nothing but admiration forthe way the upstart Avs – missing astar of their own in leading scorerMatt Duchene – have played downthe stretch.
“They make it happen for their fa-vor,” he said. “They take nothing forgranted. They make their chances, soyou’ve got to give them credit. Theyfind ways.”
Much as the Hawks have the pasttwo nights.

Smith’s goal with 3.7 seconds left lifts HawksNext
vs. St. Louis, 11:30 a.m.Sunday, NBC, AM-720
By MARK [email protected]
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Whilemost of his teammates werein Columbus preparing forFriday night’s game, PatrickKane was in Chicago, prepar-ing for the Stanley Cup play-offs.
Kane skated Friday forthe first timesince suffer-ing an appar-ent knee inju-ry March 19against the St.Louis Blues.
H a w k sc o a c h J o e lQuenneville said the reportafter the session was “verypositive.”
Meanwhile, JonathanToews, who suffered an un-disclosed upper-body injurySunday night in Pittsburgh,isn’t skating but is “doing ev-erything he can right now,”Quenneville said. “He’s get-ting himself ready.”
Kane and Toews are ex-pected back for the start ofthe playoffs.
Getting feisty: The Hawkswere criticized by many inthe hockey world for not re-taliating Sunday for the hitby Brooks Orpik that injuredToews. In the two games since,they have responded in a hur-ry to hits they didn’t like.
Friday night against theBlue Jackets, Bryan Bickellpounced on Jared Boll afterBoll laid out Peter Regin inthe neutral zone. Boll got thebetter of the fight, but PatrickSharp scored on the ensuingpower play (Boll was whis-tled for interference on theRegin hit).
Thursday against theWild, Bickell and Jeremy
Morin briefly went after MattCooke when Cooke drilledAndrew Shaw.
Power move: Sharp’s goalwas only the Hawks’ sixth onthe power play in their past14 games. His big blast fromthe point made it througha screen by Shaw and pastgoaltender Sergei Bobrovsky.With two new five-man unitsin the wake of the Kane andToews injuries, it was thekind of simple play Quenne-ville wanted to see.
“When you don’t have theguys you’re accustomed tohaving, let’s get it back to thepoint, let’s try to get secondopportunities off point shots,and improvise off that,” hesaid. “Simpler is the best wayto go about it.”
Stayinghome:Neither John-ny Oduya (lower-body injury)nor Michal Handzus made thetrip to Columbus. Quennevillesaid both could play Sundayagainst the Blues.
Quenneville, who satHandzus for the third periodin Pittsburgh, then scratchedhim the past two games, saidthe 37-year-old is being rest-ed. Sheldon Brookbank againplayed alongside NiklasHjalmarsson on the Hawks’second pairing. He played 25minutes Thursday, and 20more Friday.
“He’s a steady guy,” Quen-neville said. “Him and [Hjal-marsson] looked like theywere comfortable together[on Thursday]. Saw the topline a lot. Just simple, get inand out, keep a nice gap andkeep the play ahead of you.We liked what he did.”

BULLS 102, BUCKS 90
Bulls top Bucks for 4th straight winBy JOHN JACKSONThe Associated Press
CHICAGO – The Bulls haveexperienced such a turnaroundthis season that their wins noware being rated.
According to some observ-ers, the 102-90 victory over thehapless, short-handed Milwau-kee Bucks didn’t rate becausethe expected lopsided blowoutdidn’t materialize.
The Bulls, who spent much ofthe first two months of the sea-son below .500, took issue withthat assessment.
“Just because they’re theworst team in the league doesn’tmean nothing, really,” Taj Gib-son said. “It’s tough becauseyou’re playing against guysfighting for their jobs, fightingfor their livelihoods. They’re go-ing to play hard.”
Jimmy Butler and Kirk Hin-rich had 17 points apiece to leadseven players in double figures,and the Bulls, despite some oc-casional lapses in the fourthquarter, cruised.
Carlos Boozer and D.J. Au-gustin scored 14 points apiece.Gibson added 13, Mike Dun-leavy 12 and Joakim Noah had11 points and 13 rebounds.
“A win’s a win,” Butler said.“Wins are hard to come by inthis league. Every team has aroster full of NBA players; there

The Bulls have won fourstraight and six of seven, andremained tied with the TorontoRaptors for third in the East-ern Conference. The Bulls (44-32) face Washington, a possiblefirst-round opponent, tonight.

“I like the balance of ourteam. Each night it could besomeone different.”

NCAA MEN’S BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT
UConn,Floridameet again
By JIM O’CONNELLThe Associated Press
ARLINGTON, Texas – The last time Flori-da lost, there still were 23 shopping days untilChristmas.
The Gators have won every game since thatloss at Connecticut on Dec. 2. The teams meetagain today in the Final Four. They both havechanged and they both have stayed the same.
“They are high right now. They are playinggreat basketball. They are sharing the basket-ball. They are all playing hard. They haven’tlost since then. It will bereally tough,” Huskiesforward DeAndre Dan-iels said Friday. “Wefeel great. ... I feel likenobody is playing hard-er than us right now. Weare just out there havingfun and not playing forourselves, but playingfor each other.”
Connecticut, the seventh seed in the EastRegional, has won nine of its past 11 with bothlosses to Louisville. That’s no 30-game winningstreak, but it’s enough to have the Huskies twowins from a fourth national championship andthe first under a coach besides Jim Calhoun.
Florida, the tournament’s overall No. 1seed, is looking for its third national title, thefirst two coming in consecutive years undercoach Billy Donovan.
“These guys understand what goes intoplaying and competing, they’re really good asit relates to scouting report and preparation,”Donovan said. “I think they understand howhard they have to play, how well they have toplay defensively together, offensively togeth-er.”
Shabazz Napier hit a buzzer-beating jump-er from the free-throw line to give Connecti-cut (30-8) a 65-64 victory in Storrs, Conn., fourmonths ago. The dramatic win didn’t exactlypropel the Huskies as they lost three of theirnext five games.
Napier was named the American Athlet-ic Conference player of the year and was afirst-team All-America. He took advantage ofa freak play to hand the Gators (36-2) one oftheir two losses – the other was to Wisconsin,another Final Four team.
Other semia contrastin styles
By EDDIE PELLSThe Associated Press
ARLINGTON, Texas – They play the samegame, though they come at it from oppositesides of the court.
Kentucky has a coach labeled a renegade, arotating stable of McDonald’s All-Americansand sky-high expectations every year. Wis-consin has a coach who has stayed firmly inone state for three decades, a lineup filled withjuniors and seniors and an aw-shucks attitudeabout its first trip to the Final Four in more
than a decade.They meet today in
the national semifinals– the One-and-DoneWildcats (28-10) are twowins from the program’sninth national title andthe Badgers (30-7) mak-ing their first trip thisfar in the tournamentsince 2000.
“Frank Sinatra, wasn’t that the song? Wedid it our way?” Wisconsin coach Bo Ryansaid. “Everybody’s doing it their way. If you’rea coach and here’s the landscape, you do it thebest way you can.”
In his 13th season at Wisconsin, Ryan isat his first Final Four at this level after win-ning four national titles at Division III Wis-consin-Platteville.
Asked about the biggest difference betweengetting this far at D-III and D-I, Ryan espousedthe virtues of enjoying a good doughnut, dietsoda and a crossword puzzle before the biggame, as opposed to heading to a room filledwith reporters who want to dissect his everymove.
The trappings of big-time college basket-ball have not changed him.
“Every place I’ve been, wherever I was anemployee, [the paycheck] always went intothe account,” Ryan said. “My wife gives me$150 a month as an allowance, whether I needit or not. I don’t get caught up in all that otherstuff.”
That is more the domain of the man he’llcoach against, John Calipari, whose newsconferences at the NCAA tournament usuallygrow more prickly as the Wildcats make theirway deeper through the bracket.

For natural dyes, look to the yard or kitchenBy KATHERINE ROTHThe Associated Press
Transforming weeds,kitchen scraps and othernatural elements into arainbow of textile dyes is aconcept as old as civiliza-tion itself, with dye vats
dating to as early as 2000 BC.Now, these homemade pigments –
some long abandoned in favor of morestartling chemical dyes – are beingrediscovered in kitchens and studiosaround the world.
“There’s been a huge rise in interestover the last two or three years,” saidSasha Duerr, author of “The Handbookof Natural Plant Dyes” (Timber Press,2011), who teaches natural dye tech-niques and has founded the Permacou-ture Institute, which promotes sustain-able textiles. “There’s a lot we have torevisit and learn.”
Yoshiko Wada, who has producedfilms about natural dyes and led dyetours to France, India and Japan, saidmuch of the appeal is that “the processslows us down and reconnects us to theenvironment.”
At a time when focus is returning tolocally produced goods, these sustain-able natural colors reflect their sur-roundings. The soft welcoming blues ofpainted shutters in the south of Franceare from indigo. The golden yellowsof Provence are of ochre. And fromthe American desert Southwest, thosedazzling reds and fuchsias are madefrom cochineal, a parasite that lives oncactus.
“I try to stay open and think of colorswhen I look around me. I collect lotsof different things, like Osage orange,pecans and walnuts, onions and pome-granates,” said Maura Ambrose, whomakes hand-stitched quilts of naturallydyed fabrics in her Folk Fibers studio inAustin, Texas.
Onion skins (yellows), walnut hulls(browns), avocado peels and pits (palepink), marigolds (yellows), sumacleaves (brown), mushrooms and lichens(with their rainbow of possibilities), co-chineal (fuchsias and reds) and madderroot (oranges and reds) are traditionalfavorites. Coffee grounds and old teabags also are great for shades of tan andbrown. Nettle yields greenish tints.
“We always think of nettle as this
awful thing that stings and hurts,” saidSonia Uyterhoeven, gardener for publiceducation at the New York BotanicalGarden. “But if you chop it up and soakit, you get lovely yellows and greens.Just make sure to harvest it using thickgloves.”
Even succulent plants can be usedto make dyes, said Duerr, who recom-mended aloe for pinks and yellows andjade plants for purples and black. Wildfennel, abundant in northern Cali-fornia, yields fluorescent yellows “sobright they hurt your eyes” if harvestedwhile in bloom.
“It’s like making tea. You boil theplant and then simmer,” she said.And like cooking, the results dependas much on the chef as on the recipe.“The beauty of it is that you can takesomething from the back of your closetand give it new life using just the wastefrom your dinner.”
Any plants containing sufficienttannins can be used to achieve colorfastfabrics without additives, known asmordants. But there are also naturalmordants, such as rhubarb, sumac,pomegranate rinds, lemon juice orvinegar, according to Uyterhoeven.With a mordant, sumac fruit yields red
pigment and indigo yields its classicshades of blue. Cream of tartar canbe used to brighten colors, and salt tointensify them.
“Just about anything you feel com-fortable around, like blackberries or el-derberries, should be fine, but there aresome plants that should be avoided,”she warned.
Lily of the Valley is toxic and couldharm the water supply if you dump itdown the drain, she said, and althoughNative Americans traditionally usedbloodroot for natural dyes, “it’s not alarge plant, so if you start using it fordye you’re depleting the population.”
The beautiful purple berries on poke-weed plants, although tempting, arepoisonous and should also be avoided,Uyterhoeven said.
To be safe, designate a pot specifical-ly for dyeing projects, and use gloves toprotect your skin. If you’re dyeing in thekitchen, work in the sink and avoid sur-faces used for preparing foods. Althoughnatural-dyeing books from the ‘60s, ‘70sand ‘80s are plentiful, experts warn thatbooks from that period often recommendusing toxic substances like chrome, cop-per or even lead as mordants.
“You just don’t want to be inhaling
that kind of thing,” said Duerr.As a rule, leaves should be chopped,
the more finely the more colorful thepigment; berries should be mashed witha potato masher; and bark and roots canbe shredded or ground.
Wrapping the natural materials inmuslin or putting them in some oldpantyhose makes projects neater andeasier.
If boiling berries, sometimes thelonger they are boiled, the lighter thepigment, so for darker shades eitheradd more berries or let the water coolslowly.
But onion skins are the classic homedyeing project for beginners.
“We do onion skins with kids here atthe botanic garden. The yellow color isfantastic,” said Uyterhoeven. “Peoplecan go to farmers’ markets or grocerystores and get loads of onion skins,because people usually just throw themout.”
First, peel the papery red or yel-low skins from lots of onions, ideallyenough to fill your biggest pot. Alumi-num pots make for a brighter color dye,but any pot will work. Cover the skinswith water and bring to a boil. Thensimmer for at least an hour.
Next, in a separate pot, soak thenatural fabric or yarn you’d like to dyein hot water for at least 15 minutes. Wetfabric absorbs dye much better thandry fabric does. For tie-dyed fabrics,just fold and then wrap rubber bandsaround the still-dry fabric first.
Strain the onionskins from the bigdye pot and discard them, then bringthe pigmented water to a boil again, andplace your wet fabric or yarn in the pot.Simmer for at least an hour, stirring asneeded to keep the fabric submerged.Let the fabric cool in the dye bath or,better yet, soak for a night or two.
Rinse the fabric in cool runningwater until the water runs clear. Hangdry, and savor the moment along withthe earthy hue.
All dyed fabrics should be washedbefore being used in any craft.

Tip of the week
The dark, cold days of winter are
nearly behind us, and many people are
looking forward to warmer weather
and outdoor activities. Dogs also ap-preciate their time in the sun, so it’s
important to keep in mind what you
need to do to make sure your dog is
ready to enjoy summer activities.
The American Veterinary Medical As-sociation (AVMA) provides important
summertime pet care tips, including:
• Provide adequate water and shade.
• Never leave your dog in the car.
• Take walks and play outside during
cooler hours of the day.
• Avoid walking on hot pavement
that can hurt your dog’s paws.
• Provide regular flea and tick protec-tion.
And, if your dog isn’t on a regular
schedule of heartworm preventive,
now is a good time to start. Many peo-ple don’t realize that while mosquito
bites are usually a minor irritation for
most people, for dogs, just one mos-quito bite can be life-threatening. This
is because mosquitoes carry heart-worm. Heartworm disease may exhibit
few symptoms. When diagnosed, it is
difficult and expensive to treat and, if
not caught in time, can be fatal.
If you don’t live in an area with a
heavy concentration of mosquitoes,
or if your dog doesn’t spend a lot of
time outside, you may think that your
dog is not at risk. According to the
American Heartworm Society (AHS),
“Heartworm disease is spreading to
new regions of the country each year.
Stray and neglected dogs and certain
wildlife such as coyotes, wolves and
foxes can be carriers of heartworms.
Mosquitoes blown great distances by
the wind and the relocation of infected
pets to previously uninfected areas all
contribute to the spread of heartworm
disease.” The AHS recommends year-
round protection because it is “an easy
thing to do and is much less expensive
than treating serious, sometimes
deadly, heartworm disease.” Leading
veterinary organizations including the
Companion Animal Parasite Council,
the American Animal Hospital As-sociation and the AVMA also support
year-round protection.
As with any medication, it’s critical
to consult with your dog’s veterinarian
before giving the medicine.

Ag-related books donated to schoolsFor the 13th consecutive year,
DeKalb County Farm Bureau’s
Agricultural Literacy program
worked with local sponsors to
donate a collection of ag-related
titles to elementary and middle
school libraries throughout
DeKalb County.
The following titles were
provided: “The Thing About
Luck,” by Cynthia Kadohata,
“Water: Sources, Use, Conserva-
tion,” by Nancy Carlson, “Ice
Cream: The Full Scoop,” by Gail
Gibbons and “The Cow in Pat-
rick O’Shanahan’s Kitchen,” by
Diana Prichard. Also provided
were copies of the second edition
of the DeKalb County Farm-
ers Ag Mag, a colorful, 4-page,
tabloid-size newspaper.
Increasing agricultural
awareness of both students and
teachers is the aim of this book
donation program. To that end,
new non-fiction and fiction titles
that convey information about
farming, the larger ag industry,
and how food and other products
are grown and processed are
sought for each year’s donations.
Once they have been provided
to school libraries, the books are
available for both students and
teachers to use.
Thirty-seven schools in the
county area benefitted from this
effort, which targeted students
in kindergarten through eighth
grade. Each school library
received titles appropriate to the
grade levels within that school.
A total of 85 books were
distributed to schools in celebra-
tion of National Agriculture
Week, March 23-29. Since 2002,
more than 80 different agricul-
tural titles have been donated to
both public and private schools
in the county, amounting to a
total of 2,608 items.
The businesses, individu-
als, and organizations that
partnered with Farm Bureau
to sponsor and purchase the
books include Bolander Farms,
Sycamore; Kevin and Colleen
Marshall (in memory of LeRoy
Cowan), Big Rock; Jim and Sue
Walter, DeKalb; Tate & Lyle
Food Systems; and the DeKalb
County Farm Bureau Founda-
tion.

A rugged wine from a rugged winemakerChris Carpenter belongs
in the mountains.
With broad shoulders and
a sizable frame he could pass
as a lumberjack. Or as a cow-
boy traversing the range with
a tangle of wispy hair, full
mustache and sun-drenched
skin.
Both are fitting looks for
a winemaker tested by the
extreme conditions of high-al-
titude farming.
Mt. Brave from the
vineyards of Napa Valley in
the Mount Veeder AVA is a
Cabernet Sauvignon that fits
Carpenter’s look – a moun-
tain man who crafts special
mountain wines.
Winemaker spotlight
At 1,800 feet, nothing
comes easy for Chris Carpen-
ter.
Mt. Brave has steep slopes
so rugged that they are un-
navigable by tractors. There’s
a shallow mix of volcanic and
sedimentary soil so thin that
it doesn’t hold much water.
These challenges produce low
yields but distinct fruit with
unmistakable characteristics.
Add in proximity to the
sun and there are no off
days. Canopy management
is key to both protecting
and ripening fruit. Too little
canopy and the tiny berries
will be singed. Too much and
physiological ripeness will
never occur.
Rather than hunt for a
way out of mountain farming,
Carpenter has completely
immersed himself in the va-
garies of Mother Nature and
the peacefulness an isolated
elevation has to offer.
“What has kept me work-
ing in the appellation is the
quality of the vineyards,”
Carpenter said. “I’ve got a
real spiritual attachment
to them. The intensity
of mountain fruit is just
outstanding. There’s pure
beauty up here. It’s nice
to be away from the hustle
and bustle of Route 29. It’s
spiritually healthy for me to
be away from it all.
“I love the yearly chal-
lenge to bring in fruit. I know
it’s possible to make great
wines up here. When it gets
pulled off the right way,
there’s nothing else quite
like it.”
What to buy
Mt. Brave, Napa Valley, Cab-ernet Sauvignon 2010 ($75)
While early morning fog
covers the Napa Valley floor,
Mt. Brave is drenched by
resplendent sun. The tem-
perature might be cooler,
but the sun exposure and the
sun aspect of the vineyards
allow the grapes to reach full
maturity.
A graceful minerality
indicative of high-altitude
wines keeps a lovely balance
as blueberry and bristol
raspberry notes highlight a
mountain wine that is very
approachable in its youth.
“The shallow soil forces
our vines to work hard,”
Carpenter said. “They move
all their energy into the fruit.
Hormonally the plant is get-
ting signals that it isn’t doing
well and focuses more on the
intensity of the fruit which
gives us more structure and
backbone.”
Wine 101
The enormity of the Mount
Veeder AVA doesn’t make
it a prolific growing region.
With low yields and plenty
of terrain so remote it can’t
be farmed, Mount Veeder
produces less than 2 percent
of all Napa Valley wines.

AmericanMuseum of Natural History curator at NIUHow should archaeologists and
museums handle Native Ameri-can materials? Twenty-five yearsafter the Native American Gravesand Protection Repatriation Act,have Native American and scien-tific communities learned to worktogether?
David Hurst Thomas, curator inthe Anthropology Division at theAmerican Museum of Natural Histo-ry in New York, will explore these
topics in two upcoming lectures atNorthern Illinois University.
Thomas will present, “AlpineArchaeology in the American West:Indians in Unexpected Places” at5 p.m. Wednesday in Cole Hall. Healso will present “Repatriating Sci-ence, Race and Identity: Are We StillFighting the Skull Wars?” at noonThursday at the Center for Latinoand Latin American Studies.
Both talks are free and open to
the public. Students are encouragedto attend the lectures, where theywill learn more about careers andprofessional ethics in anthropology,archaeology and museums.
A member of the National Acade-my of Science, Thomas has orga-nized and directed more than 100archaeological excavations in theAmerican Southeast, Southwest andGreat Basin, including the discov-ery of Gatecliff Shelter in Nevada,
the deepest archaeological rockshelter in the Americas.
Thomas is one of the foundingtrustees for the National Museum ofthe American Indian at the Smith-sonian. His scholarly research fo-cuses on redefining the relationshipbetween the Native American andanthropological communities.
His 2001 book, “Skull Wars: Ken-newick Man, Archaeology, and theBattle for Native American Identity,”
traces the development of the existingtensions in these relationships overthe past two centuries, while seekingways to build bridges between thegroups’ diverse perspectives.
Both talks are sponsored by TheGraduate School, the Department ofAnthropology and the AnthropologyMuseum at NIU.

newest book to libraryThe Mason-Dixon Line does not have ori-
gins to the Civil War. This simple statementintrigued local author, Sally M. Walker, tofollow this nugget of truth into a 200-page bookabout the creation of the Mason-Dixon line,how it settled a family feud, and ultimatelyhow it divided a nation. Walker has donated acopy of her newest book, “Boundaries,” aboutthis famous line to the DeKalb Public Library.
Walker enjoys history of all kinds. She wasraised to love American history, as her parentswould take the family on exciting vacationsfilled with historical significance. That joyof discovering still remains with her today.Walker’s newest book was an idea thrown outby her editor, who had just read “Mason & Dix-on: A Novel,” by Thomas Pynchon. The moreWalker read about this “wild story,” the moreshe was intrigued. As with any of her books,her research started at the DeKalb PublicLibrary. Two-and-a-half years later and fourtrips to Pennsylvania, “Boundaries” was born.
This book breaks through the ideologythat the Mason-Dixon line was the bound-ary between northern and southern statesduring the Civil War. The reality is that the
Mason-Dixon Line was surveyed to officiallyestablish the boundary line between Penn-sylvania and Maryland. In fact, the actualMason-Dixon Line ended 30 miles east ofPennsylvania’s western border. The bookdelves into how Mason and Dixon surveyedthe land using the stars as their guide, thedangers of completing such a daunting taskand even discusses that there were only twowomen on this survey team ... and they wereNative American.
Sally Walker has been awarded the RobertF. Sibert Medal for “Secrets of a Civil WarSubmarine.” Her book “Blizzard of Glass: TheHalifax Explosion of 1917” was a 2014 RebeccaCaudill Award Nominee. “Boundaries” is richwith new research and is well on its way toearning its own accolades. For more informa-tion about Sally Walker and her books, visitwww.sallymwalker.com. Her books also areavailable at the DeKalb Public Library andthrough the Inter-Library Loan System.

8ASTROGRAPH Teen shares in friend’s grief without cryingDear Abby: I’m 15. Yester-
day, they told our class thatone of my friend’s parents haddied suddenly. Every singleperson in our grade cried,except for me. I felt bad aboutnot crying for my friend’sloss, but I just didn’t.
Another friend told methat last night people weretexting, and it had beenmentioned several timesthat I wasn’t crying and that
it looked like I didn’t care,
even though I do. I feel bad
about not crying, but I don’t
want to lie and say that I did.
Please help me. – Dry-Eyed inColorado
Dear Dry-Eyed: If you feel
that any explanation is called
for, simply say that when you
heard the news you were so
stunned that you couldn’t
cry. Your reaction is very
common. When bad news is
conveyed, some people are just
struck numb. Believe me, not
everyone who can cry on com-
mand is necessarily grieving.
Dear Abby: My boyfriend,
“Chico,” and I have been
going together for six years.
We have discussed marriage,
but for the past few months he
has become distant and not as
loving as he once was. Chico
is the dependent type who
often needs to be reminded
by his parents or me about
things he needs to do.
When I asked Chico what
was going on, he said he is
confused and he thinks he
relies too much on his parents
and me for direction.
He said he didn’t want
to break up, but he would
like some time alone. He
assured me there is no one
else involved and he wants to
continue talking on the phone
to me once in a while.
I don’t know what to do!
Should I believe what he is
saying about needing time, or
do you think this is Chico’s
way of telling me it’s over? –
Heartbroken in Hoboken
Dear Heartbroken: Frankly, I
think Chico is trying to break
it to you gently that it’s over.
Wish him well and let him go.
You probably meant well,
but the problem with giving
someone “directions” is, it
prevents that person’s own
compass from guiding him
where he needs to go. Look
at it this way: This may be
a period of growth for Chico
and for you as well.
Dear Abby: I have been
dating someone over the last
two years and our relation-
ship has had a lot of ups and
downs. We are in our 50s and
we have both been married
before.The problem is, he thinks
he always has to be right.He’ll never admit to beingwrong. We love each otherand spend most of our timetogether, but every time wehave an argument, he calls
our relationship off. I am
always the one who calls to
patch things up. Should I let
this relationship go once and
for all? – Tired Of The Dramain Atlanta
Dear Tired Of The Drama: Yes,
I think so. Your gentleman
friend has an unhealthy
way of dealing with conflict.
Unless your idea of a happy
marriage is one in which you
are always the peacemaker, I
doubt it would last.
Dear Abby: I have been mar-
ried to my wonderful husband
for 10 years. My father-in-law,
“John,” has always been a
man of extremely few words
with me. He mostly just
ignores me when I’m around.
I have mentioned it to my
husband and mother-in-law
over the years, and they say
he’s just “weird.”
Last year, my brother-in-
law married a nice woman,
“Donna.” It turns out that
John talks just fine with her.
He’s not overly chatty, but
he’s friendly and polite. They
had a 20-minute conversation
on Christmas Eve, and I don’t
remember ever exchanging
more than three sentenceswith the man. I’m naturallysociable and easygoing, and Idon’t know why John wouldtreat me so rudely for so long.
Of course, I’m jealous. I
would trade the father-in-law
I have had for the one Donna
has in a heartbeat. I’m so hurt
and angry that I find it diffi-
cult to be in the same room
with him now. I am seeing a
therapist, which helps, but
I’m still not sure how to get
over this or how to proceed.
Can you offer me some ad-
vice? – Like I’m Not Here
Dear Like: I’ll try. There
could be any number of rea-
sons why your father-in-law
has been unable to connect
with you, and I can think of
at least one that might have
nothing to do with you. Has it
occurred to you that this may
have something to do with the
way he feels about your hus-
band? Sometimes the negative
feelings a parent has toward
a child can spill over onto the
spouse. That might explain
his warmer attitude toward
your sister-in-law.
However, if that’s not
the case, then you will have
to accept that people don’t
always have the same level
of chemistry with everyone
– and your father-in-law isn’t
being intentionally hurtful. I
have experienced this, and if
you think about it, I’m sure
you probably have, too.I’m glad you’re seeing a
therapist, although I hope thereason isn’t your father-in-law. If being around him is un-comfortable for you, then limitthe time you spend with yourin-laws. That’s what I’d do.
Dear Abby: Over the past
35 years I have saved all
the cards, letters and photo-
graphs sent to me by friends.
I thought it would be fun to
make them into scrapbooks
and give them back to those
friends one day.
Now that I finally have
the time to organize them
all, I’m not so sure. They are
pre-Facebook. There are lots
of letters about their pregnan-
cies, birth announcements,
child-rearing experiences and
holiday letters.
Can you ask your readers
if they would welcome some-
thing like this or should I toss
them all? It’s time to clean
house. – Unsure in The West
Dear Unsure: I’ll put the
question out there, but the
people who really should an-
swer are the friends for whom
you’re thinking of creating
those scrapbooks. Speaking
for myself, I think they would
be priceless gifts, but I can’t
answer for everyone.

DEAR ABBY
Gymmembership provides incentive to work outDear Dr. K: I want to start
exercising regularly. Should I
join a gym?
Dear Reader: You don’t need
a gym in order to exercise
regularly. Your body offers
the cheapest equipment
available. And the money you
save by not paying for a gym
membership might be put to
good use elsewhere, whether
that means monthly bills or
tennis lessons. But joining a
gym has its benefits, too.
Spending money on a gym
membership may be an incen-
tive to use it regularly and get
your money’s worth. Classes
offer companionship and a
safe way to learn technique.
Most good gyms offer a wide
range of equipment and a
changing roster of exerciseclasses that can keep youmotivated to work out. Often,personal trainers are avail-able for weekly appointmentsor short-term overhauls ofyour routine.
Some health care plansoffer discounted rates at spe-cific gyms. They’re not justdoing you a favor: It’s also intheir interest. They know thatregular exercise improvesyour health – which, in turn,reduces the medical expensesthey might have to pay.
Before deciding whether a
gym is right for you, consideryour preferences and needs.Ask yourself: Do you preferto work out alone or with oth-ers? How far must you travelto the gym? Are you likely tomake the trek? Do the gym’shours of operation work wellfor you?
If you decide to join one,look for the following:
• A good match betweenyour goals and the facil-ity. Choose a gym that’swell-equipped. A variety ofmachines and exercise classeslets you mix up your routineand avoid boredom. Andhaving plenty of equipmentcan mean no wait, or at least ashorter one, when the gym isbusy. Many gyms will let youtry their facilities for a few
days before making a commit-ment.
• Well-trained staff. Exper-tise in teaching people to usestrength-training equipmentand free weights is essential.Ask about staff backgroundand training. Certificationfrom the American Collegeof Sports Medicine is a goodsign.
• A well-maintainedfacility. Check to make surethe gym keeps its equipmentin good working order. Askcurrent members if machinesare frequently out of order.Also, note whether the publicspaces and locker rooms ap-pear clean and well-kept.
Whether you choose a gymor not, exercise regularly. Itjust makes you feel better.
And no pill yet invented isas powerfully good for yourhealth as regular exercise.In the past 15 years, scientif-ic studies have discoveredseveral factors that makeregular exercise easier toachieve:
• You don’t need to exer-cise hard enough to break asweat. A brisk walk in yourstreet clothes to and fromwork to where you park orcatch public transportationcan do it.
• You don’t need to do all30 minutes per day, five daysper week, for 30 consecutiveminutes. You can break it upinto pieces.
