SYCAMORE – The Syca-

more City Council on Monday

denied the county’s request for

a special use permit to turn a

residential property into an

all-male sober living house and

removing it from the city’s tax

roll, sending the county back to

the drawing board.

“We’re going to have to play

this game again, and look at ouroptions,” DeKalb County BoardChairman Mark Pietrowski Jr.said after the motion was de-nied 5-2 by the City Council.

Aldermen Pete Paulsen andChuck Stowe voted in favor ofgiving the special use permitto the county, while AldermenAlan Bauer, Steve Braser, Jan-ice Tripp, Rick Kramer andRobert Taylor voted against it.Alderman Curt Lang was ab-

sent.

The meeting was a follow-up

to one Feb. 2, when the coun-

cil voted 4-3 in favor of tabling

the ordinance until the county

made an official motion to pur-

chase the home at 491 E. State

St., which it did Feb. 18.

The back-and-forth between

city and county officials over

turning the home into a res-

idence for male drug addicts

and alcoholics has produced

some lively debates and opin-

ions by both sides. City officials

have asked the county to look

for property it already owns

instead of taking city taxpayer

money, but the county main-

tains the State Street property

is ideal because of the residen-

tial and retail mixed-use area,

and how close it is to the DeKalb

County Courthouse, a major

advantage since those in the

program don’t have their own

transportation.

Monday’s council meeting

saw more of that.

“Alcohol touches many fam-

ilies in our communities, and

this is one thing we can do for

our citizens,” County Board

Vice Chairman Tracy Jones

told the council during the

meeting. “It might not be as

pretty as our parks, but I hope

you can support it tonight.”

Jones was joined by Drug

Court Judge Robbin Stuckert,

DeKalb County State’s Attor-

ney Richard Schmack, Law and

Justice Committee Chairman

John Frieders and Pietrowski

to show the county’s support

for the home, which would have

been purchased for $145,000,

plus an addition $55,000 in re-

furbishments.

However, they met with

strong opposition from the City

Council.

“I don’t have a problem with

the development,” Kramer said.

“My concern is taking it off the

tax roll. That’s not fair to any-

one in this room, and it’s not

fair to anyone paying taxes.”

Tripp said the proposed

property was “the wrong street

to be on.”

“It doesn’t belong there,” she

told county officials.

Stuckert addressed some

of the concerns for safety and

issues the council brought

up, after one council member

claimed she was “talking in

circles” when referring to pre-

vious hurdles the sober living

home plan has faced.

“It’s not a building where po-

lice are routinely called,” Stuck-

ert told the council. “It’s safe for

Sycamore council denies permitCounty’s search for soberliving house starting over

Israel’s PM aimsto ease tensionsahead of speech

By JULIE PACEand ARON HELLERThe Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Seekingto lower tensions, BenjaminNetanyahu and U.S. officialscast their dispute over Iranas a family squabble on Mon-day, even as the Israeli lead-er claimed President BarackObama did not – and couldnot – fully understand his na-tion’s vital security concerns.

“American leaders worryabout the security of theircountry,” Netanyahu saidas he opened a controversialtrip to Washington. “Israelileaders worry about the sur-vival of their country.”

Netanyahu’s remarks to afriendly crowd at a pro-Isra-el lobby’s annual conferenceamounted to a warm-up actfor his address to Congresstoday, an appearance orches-trated by Obama’s politicalopponents and aimed square-ly at undermining the WhiteHouse’s high-stakes bid for anuclear deal with Iran.

Netanyahu tried to paperover his personal differenceswith Obama, insisting he wasnot in Washington to “disre-spect” the president and say-ing any reports of the demiseof U.S.-Israel ties were “notonly premature, they’re justwrong.”

The prime minister’s re-marks were bracketed byspeeches from a pair of topObama advisers: U.N. Am-bassador Samantha Powerand National Security Advis-er Susan Rice, whose addressserved as a preemptive rebut-tal of Netanyahu’s expectedcritique of the Iran negotia-tions Tuesday.

With Secretary of StateJohn Kerry opening a newround of talks with Iran inSwitzerland, Rice said the

U.S. was seeking a deal thatwould cut off “every singlepathway” Iran has to produc-ing a nuclear weapon. Shesaid Obama keeps all optionson the table for blocking Teh-ran’s pursuit of a bomb anddeclared that “a bad deal isworse than no deal.”

Still, Rice warned againstholding out for “unachiev-able” outcomes, such as get-ting Iran to fully end domes-tic enrichment.

“As desirable as thatwould be, it is neither realis-tic or achievable,” she said.“If that is our goal, our part-ners will abandon us.”

Netanyahu appeared to bereserving his most specificcriticism of the negotiationsfor his remarks to lawmak-ers. But he said he had a“moral obligation to speak upin the face of these dangerswhile there is still time toavert them.”

Negotiators are workingto reach a framework agree-ment before an end of Marchdeadline. U.S. officials havereported progress toward aprospective agreement thatwould freeze Iran’s nuclearprogram for at least 10 yearsbut allow the Iranians toslowly ramp up in later years

Obama spoke dismissive-ly of Netanyahu’s warningsabout the risks of such a deal,saying the prime ministerhad previously contendedIran would not abide by aninterim agreement signed in2013 and would get $50 billionin sanctions relief, a figurethe U.S. says is far too high.

“None of that has cometrue,” Obama said in an inter-view with Reuters.

Obama views the prospectof a nuclear accord with Iranas a central component of

James Polli (right), known as Sir Seamus MacBain, fights Lauren Elder, known as Susanna Herst, on Sundayduring the local chapter practice ofthe Society for Creative Anachronism at Promise Equestrian Center in Maple Park.

Battles bring past to lifeSociety for Creative Anachronism immerses members in Middle Ages

By KATIE [email protected]

MAPLE PARK – Sir Sea-

mus MacBain gripped his

sword with hardened leather

gauntlets before striking his

opponent’s head with debili-

tating force.

Dust swirled around the

battling pair, landing on their

shields and steel helmets mo-

mentarily before another blow

roiled the air. MacBain and

his opponent Susanna Herst

continued their deadly dance

for 20 minutes. Then, MacBain

walked out of the ring, took off

his helmet and turned from an

Irish knight from the Middle

Ages into James Polli, the man

who people outside of the Soci-

ety for Creative Anachronism

know.

Polli is one of about 35 peo-

ple involved in the local chap-

ter of the international soci-ety, commonly referred to asthe SCA. Through fighting and

fellowship, they try to recreatethe period between the sixthand 16th centuries as they

should have been.

“We found the SCA has a

nice combination of getting

to play like a knight when we

dreamed of when we [were]

children,” said the 41-year old

Elgin resident. “and the his-

torical research aspect, so we

can actually learn more about

what it was like back then.”

The locals, who hail from

the Barony of Carraig Ban,

practice at Promise Equestri-

an Center in Maple Park. They

are trying to introduce hors-

es into their combat with the

help of Leopoldo Lastre, the

executive director for the Tilt-

ed Quintain, a nonprofit study-

ing historical horsemanship.

First, Lastre said, they have

to get the horses used to the

sounds and sights of medieval

combat.

Spacecraft making 1st visit to CeresBy ALICIA CHANGThe Associated Press

PASADENA, Calif. – ANASA spacecraft is aboutto reach the end of a nearlyeight-year journey and makethe first rendezvous with adwarf planet.

The Dawn craft will slipinto orbit Friday around Ce-res, a dwarf planet the size ofTexas. Unlike robotic land-ings or other orbit captures,the arrival won’t be a nail-bit-er. Still, Dawn had to travelabout 3 billion miles to reachthe largest object in the as-teroid belt between Mars andJupiter.

“It’s been a roller coasterride. It’s been extremely thrill-ing,” project manager RobertMase of the NASA Jet Propul-sion Laboratory said Monday.

Ceres is the first of twodwarf planets to receive vis-itors this year. NASA’s NewHorizons spacecraft is barrel-ing toward one-time planetPluto where it will arrive inJuly.

Launched in 2007, Dawnmade the first stop of its jour-ney at the asteroid Vesta. Itbeamed back more than 30,000

images of the rocky world in-side the asteroid belt beforeheading to its final destina-tion.

Dawn began its approachto Ceres in December, and lastmonth it snapped pictures ofthe dwarf planet that revealed

two mysterious bright spotsinside a crater. Scientists willhave to wait until the craft spi-rals closer to the surface in thecoming months to get sharperimages. It will get as close as235 miles above Ceres’ sur-face, or roughly the distance

of the International Space Sta-tion above Earth.

Last year, European re-searchers not connected withthe mission detected waterplumes spewing from two re-gions on Ceres. The source ofthe plumes remains unclear.

Woman with Putin critic didn’t see his killerBy VLADIMIR ISACHENKOV

The Associated Press

MOSCOW – The 23-year-old Ukrainian model who waswith slain opposition leaderBoris Nemtsov tearfully re-counted Monday their lastdinner in a chic Red Squarerestaurant and their walkonto a nearby bridge – but saidshe did not see the gunmanwho pulled the trigger.

The emotional account byAnna Duritska-ya came amid aswirl of specula-tion about whowas responsiblefor the high-pro-file assassina-tion and what itmeans for Rus-sia.

While state-run and Krem-lin-controlled media focusedon a theory that the killingwas a provocation aimed atstaining President VladimirPutin, his critics are holdingthe Russian leader respon-sible for creating an atmo-sphere that encouraged thecrime by fanning nationalist,anti-Western sentiments and

vilifying the opposition.Duritskaya said she has

been questioned extensivelyby authorities. The UkrainianForeign Ministry said shehas flown home to her nativeUkraine, the Interfax newsagency reported late Monday.

In her first public com-ments since the killing, Du-ritskaya said in an interviewwith Russia’s independentDozhd TV that she waited forNemtsov to meet her Fridaynight at the Bosco Cafe, apricey restaurant in the for-mer GUM department storeon Red Square. He had justgiven a radio interview inwhich he had slammed Pu-tin’s “mad, aggressive policy”on Ukraine.

They dined and thenwalked across a bridge nearSt. Basil’s Cathedral, head-ing for Nemtsov’s apartmentacross the Moscow River fromthe Kremlin, she said, hereyes welling with tears.

D u r i t s k a y a s a i d s h edidn’t see the man who shotNemtsov, only a car speedingup.

“I don’t know where hecame from, but he was be-

hind,” she said of the gun-man. “I didn’t see the man.I turned round and all I sawwas a light-colored car. I sawneither the brand nor the li-cense plate of the car that wasdriving away.”

After Nemtsov was shot,she saw a snowplow approach-ing them on the bridge and shesaid she asked its driver howto call police. The driver gaveher the number, then droveaway, she added.

TV Center, a station con-trolled by the Moscow city gov-ernment, broadcast a poor-res-olution video from a webcamera that it said showedNemtsov and Duritskayashortly before he was killed.A vehicle that TVC identifiedas a snowplow moved slowlybehind the couple, obscuringthe view of the shooting. TVCenter then circled what itsaid was the suspected killerjumping into a passing car.

Rep. Schock billed taxpayers for plane to Bears gameBy JACK GILLUM


WASHINGTON – IllinoisRep. Aaron Schock billed tax-payers at least three times formore than $14,000 in privateair travel last fall, includingfor a trip to a Chicago Bearsfootball game, The Associat-ed Press has learned.

T h e n e w -l y r e v e a l e dexpenses en-compass planetravel aroundIllinois and toW a s h i n g t o n .They add tothe list of morethan a dozenflights worth$40,000 aboard planes ownedby donors, which led to a for-mal ethics complaint.

Schock, a 33-year-old ris-

ing Republican star, hasbeen under scrutiny for us-ing congressional funds toredecorate his Capitol Hilloffice in the style of the TVshow “Downton Abbey.” Lastweek, his office said he madegood on his promise of per-sonally reimbursing thosecosts.

Congressional rules up-dated two years ago gener-ally allow the use of privateaircraft as long as trips arefairly compensated. Butthe latest revelations aboutSchock’s travel expensesraise questions about whytaxpayers would be billedfor a trip to Chicago whenhe represents the Peoria andSpringfield areas at least 150miles away.

Newly released House re-cords show $10,802 incurredNovember for “commercial

transportation” to KeithSiilats, a New York-based pi-lot. Siilats told the AP he flewthe congressman betweenWashington and Peoria fora series of meetings, and at-tended the Bears game withSchock. That trip was first re-ported Sunday by the Chica-go Sun-Times. It was not im-mediately clear how Schockpaid for his game tickets.

The records also showSchock’s office spent about$2,270 with Peoria-basedByerly Aviation, as well as$1,590 to Lobair LLC. Bothwere previously paid forSchock’s travel on aircraftowned by his financial con-tributors, records show.

The Byerly expense alignswith a same-day journey ona plane owned by Springfieldbusinessman Todd Greenbetween Peoria and Quin-

cy, Illinois, on Dec. 12, 2014.Schock toured a local damthat he said needed repairsthat same day in Quincy.

Byerly was previouslypaid $11,433 from Schock’soffice account for four daysin November 2013. The APfound Green’s plane traveledto and from Washington andPeoria during that same peri-od – and hours before Schockposted a photo about his“Schocktoberfest” fundrais-ing event in his district.

A Schock spokesman onMonday referred to the con-gressman’s earlier state-ments that he takes com-pliance with funding rulesseriously and has begun a re-view of his expenses. Schockpreviously told the AP hetravels frequently through-out his district to stay con-nected with his constituents.

DeKalb police use PearlSt. houses for training

DeKALB – Loud bangs rangout on DeKalb’s Pearl Streeton Monday as officers fromthroughout DeKalb Countypracticed storming into vacanthouses.

About 25 officers fromDeKalb and the DeKalb Coun-ty Special Operations teampracticed entering three hous-es using the same tactics theywould use if they were serv-ing a search warrant, DeKalbCounty Sheriff’s Sgt. Ryan Pet-tengell said.

“We try to make this as re-alistic as possible,” Pettengellsaid. “All the officers are wear-ing the full gear they wouldwear if this was a real situa-tion. They’re all carrying theweapons they would use. How-ever, they are filled with train-ing ammunition at this time.”

The members of the coun-ty team, which includes offi-cers from the Sheriff’s Officeas well the DeKalb and Syc-amore police departments,wore tactical gear and usedblast shields while approach-ing the front door of 120 PearlSt. They yelled “Sheriff’s officesearch warrant” and poundedon the door twice before open-ing making their way into thehouse.

As officers filed in, onethrew a flash bang grenade,a nonlethal explosive used todisorient people.

That scene repeated four

times Monday, Pettengell

said. Officers also practiced

in two other homes in the 100

block of Pearl. The homes are

owned by developer Shodeen

Construction and are slated

for demolition. Police plan to

practice in the homes again,

but Pettengell did not know

when.

Shodeen President Dave

Patzelt said he offered the

homes to local and state police

agencies and the DeKalb Fire

Department for training in De-

cember.

Shodeen, which owns a

dozen homes along Pearl and

Lincoln Highway, plans to de-

molish the houses, but doesn’t

have a date set for demolition,

Patzelt said.

Two of the houses are still

occupied, Patzelt said, but will

be empty by summer.

For the next couple of

months, officers will have free

rein to work inside the vacant

buildings.

“Once they’re inside, we’re

not concerned about what they

want to do,” Patzelt said.

Patzelt said once a solid

plan for demolition exists,

he will offer the homes to the

same agencies to use for train-

ing that might damage the

homes, such as roof entries.

DeKalb Assistant Fire Chief

Jeff McMaster said the fire

department expects to start

training in the homes around

April.

Firefighters will use houses

on Lincoln Highway for lad-

der training and a home at 123

Pearl St. for search and rescue,

McMaster said.

Its a rare opportunity for

police and fire agencies to

have such unfettered access

to houses for training, DeKalb

police Cmdr. John Petragallo

said.

“We generally don’t have

homes we can train in and

not have to worry about dam-

age,” Petragallo said. “Say we

need to break down a door or

we break a window. These are

things we would not have to

pay for.”

Danielle Guerra – [email protected]

A flash bang grenade goes off Monday inside the house at 120 Pearl St. in DeKalb before the DeKalb CountySpecial Operations Team pushes inside during training.

“We try to make this as

realistic as possible. All

the officers are wearing

the full gear they would

wear if this was a real

situation. They’re all

carrying the weapons

they would use. Howev-

er, they are filled with

training ammunition at

this time.”

Sycamore students addressforum on PARCC testing


SYCAMORE – SycamoreHigh School junior IsabelDobbel doesn’t think thatscores on standardized testsdefine how well she’ll do af-ter high school, but she’llspend dozens of hours takingthem in the next two months.

Dobbel, 17, is taking theACT in hopes of getting intoa good college. At the sametime, she’s preparing to takethe Partnership for Assess-ment of Readiness for Collegeand Career exam. All juniorsin Illinois taking algebra twoand third-year English willtake the exam, which is be-ing administered for the firsttime within the next 20 days.

“In some ways we cansee that as a gift that we arenot the class to have to wor-ry about the stresses of thePARCC,” Dobbel said. “Butat the same time it is verymuch a burden because of allthe stress we’re already un-der as juniors.”

Dobbel was one of sevenstudents – five juniors andtwo eighth-graders – who toldteachers, parents and stateRep. Bob Pritchard abouttheir concerns about PARCCduring a forum Monday atSycamore High School.

Students in third througheighth grades, as well as ju-niors in select classes, willtake the exam starting thisweek. Assistant Principal

Steve Balster said betweenthe initial exam taking placethis month and PARCC’send of the year test in May,students will spend betweennearly 10 and 11.5 hours test-ing, meaning they could loseup to 10 class period’s worthof instruction. On top ofthat, students this year arestill taking the ACT becausecolleges aren’t acceptingPARCC scores.

It will take valuable timeaway from class and study-ing for other tests that havea greater effect on her collegeapplications, said junior An-gelina Ye, 16. In between thetwo testing periods in Marchand May, Ye will have to pre-pare for six Advanced Place-ment exams.

“I’m going to be missingso much class time and somuch work time and having

to spend time afterwards try-ing to make that up,” Ye said.“And I know a lot of my peersfeel the same way.”

Students also pointed outbecause PARCC doesn’t haveany bearing on their future,they’re less likely to take itseriously.

High school Principal TimCarlson walked away fromMonday’s forum pleasedwith the way students ex-pressed their frustrationsabout PARCC testing and itsinterference in class time.He said school leaders orga-nized the forum after theyheard rumblings from stu-dents considering a walk-out.

“We wanted the kids tohave a voice,” Carlson said.“And we didn’t want thatvoice out on DeKalb Avenueblocking traffic.”

No charges expected for policemanBy ERIC TUCKER


WASHINGTON – The fed-

eral investigation of the po-

lice shooting in Ferguson,

Missouri, is expected to allege

patterns of racial bias in the

city’s mostly white depart-

ment. But the probe, nearing

release, is likely to stop short

of charging the officer whose

shooting of an unarmed

18-year-old touched off weeks

of protests

The Aug. 9 shooting of Mi-

chael Brown led to two sepa-

rate federal investigations:

one looking at whether crimi-

nal charges should be brought

against Darren Wilson, the

white officer who shot the

black teenager, and the other

a broader examination of the

city’s police department.

The results are expected to

be made public in the coming

days as Attorney General Eric

Holder, who has made civil

rights a cornerstone of his six-

year tenure, prepares to leave

the Justice Department.

Here’s a look at where

things stand:

THE FERGUSON

POLICE DEPARTMENTHolder has repeatedly sig-

naled that federal officials

have identified problems

with the Ferguson Police

Department. He’s said the

agency was in need of “whole-

sale change” and that “deep

mistrust” had taken hold be-

tween law enforcement and

members of the community.The federal investigation

is focused on police use offorce as well as stops, search-es and arrests of suspects andthe treatment of inmates atthe city jail.

One sign of concern was a2013 report by the Missouriattorney general’s office thatfound police were far morelikely to stop and search black

drivers than white motorists,

although they were less likely

to find contraband among the

black drivers.

The Justice Department

has undertaken roughly 20

similar investigations nation-

wide under Holder’s tenure,

usually for allegations in-

cluding patterns of excessive

force and discrimination.

These investigations usu-

ally turn up substantial prob-

lems, and the Ferguson probe

is expected to be no different.

The Newark, New Jersey,

police department consented

to an independent monitor

last year after a federal report

found officers used exces-

sive force, routinely stopped

people on the street without

legitimate reason and stole

property from civilians. The

city of Cleveland is currently

in negotiations with the Jus-

tice Department following a

scathing report that found

problems with record-keep-

ing, accountability and the

way use-of-force incidents are

investigated.

Most such cases end with

police departments com-

mitting to make changes,

although the Justice Depart-

ment can take cities to court

if they don’t commit to re-

forms.

THE POLICE OFFICERThe Justice Department

is not expected to criminally

charge Wilson.

To bring such a case, fed-

eral authorities would need

to show that Wilson – who

was cleared by a state grand

jury in November – willfully

deprived Brown of his civil

rights by knowingly using

more force than the law al-

lowed.

That’s historically a heavy

burden for prosecutors, par-

ticularly in shootings that

occur during fast-unfolding

encounters in which a police

officer can reasonably claim

that deadly force was needed

to stop an imminent threat.

Wilson told a state grand

jury that he feared for his

life during the confrontation,

which began after he directed

Brown and a friend who were

walking in the street to move

to the sidewalk.

BAGHDAD – Backed byIranian-supported Shiite mi-litias, Iraqi forces launched alarge-scale offensive Mondayto retake Saddam Hussein’shometown from the IslamicState group, the first in a seriesof campaigns to try to reclaimlarge parts of northern Iraqfrom the Sunni extremists.

Previous attempts to cap-ture the symbolic city havefailed, and hours into Mon-

day’s operation, the militarysaid it still hadn’t enteredTikrit, indicating a long battlelies ahead. Retaking it will helpIraqi forces secure a majorsupply link for any future op-eration to retake Mosul, Iraq’ssecond-largest city which hasbeen under militant rule sinceJune.

State-run Al-Iraqiya TVsaid that forces were attack-ing from different directions,backed by artillery and air-strikes by Iraqi fighter jets.It said the militants were dis-

lodged from some areas out-side the city, but several hoursinto the operation, it gave noadditional details.

Tikrit, the provincial capi-tal of Salauhddin province, 80miles north of Baghdad, fellto the Islamic State group lastsummer, along with Mosul andother areas in the country’sSunni heartland.

U.S. military officials havesaid a coordinated militarymission to retake Mosul willlikely begin in April or Mayand involve up to 25,000 Iraqi

troops. But the Americanshave cautioned that if the Iraq-is aren’t ready, the offensivecould be delayed.

The U.S.-led coalitionlaunching airstrikes targetingthe Islamic State group was notinvolved in the Tikrit opera-tion, Iraqi officials said. A Pen-tagon spokesman, Army Col.Steve Warren, said the U.S.was alerted to the offensive be-fore it started Monday but wasnot asked to provide air power.

“Right now, we are notproviding any air power to

support the Iraqi operationin the city of Tikrit,” Warrentold reporters in Washington.“We did note the Iraqi govern-ment’s statements that theyare emphasizing minimizationof collateral damage, and weare continuing to monitor it.”

Iraqi forces apparentlyhave the help of Iranian Gen.Ghasem Soleimani, the com-mander of the elite Revolution-ary Guard’s Quds Force, whoarrived two days ago, the Ira-nian semi-official Fars newsagency reported.

Thetask is challenging, but it’ssomething that absolutelyneeds to be resolved.”

At a recent practice at theequestrian center, a handfulof fighters donned garb mod-eled after that of the MiddleAges. Some of their looks in-cluded $800 leather-and-steelgauntlets, shimmering suitsof chain mail and hand-pound-ed steel body armor. The gearis purchased, but fighters of-ten trade and barter to obtaintheir desired accouterments.

DeKalb resident LaurenElder, or Susanna Herst asshe’s known by her comrades,spent about $40 and hundredsof hours over the span of ayear making a nearly head-to-toe set of steel body armorfor herself. Her persona iscompleted with a sword madeof rattan, a wood commonlyused to make furniture. Thearmor helped the 28-year-oldwithstand and react to eachclip while she battled withPolli.

“My ideal is the knight inshining armor,” Elder said.“You can come out in plasticand sports gear and hide it,which is perfectly valid, butI wanted to wear the armor.”

Competitors come to thegroup from different walksof life. But whether they arecollege students or graphicdesigners, a common love ofhistory connects them. Un-like the commonly knownlive-action role playing basedin fantasy, the SCA is a his-torical reenactment groupakin to Civil War reenactors.They travel across the coun-try to tournaments and wars,but also have one-on-one com-bat locally.

There’s a sense of escapismto the reenactment. But oftenSCA life spills over into reallife. Aleid van Groningen,also known as Norm Read, 53,of Kingston, wooed the wom-an who would become his

wife during a feast followed

by dancing years ago.

“She had known me by

reputation as a fighter, and

thought I was some sort of

brutish sword-jock type,”

Read said. “But then she saw

me performing in a play and

she thought, ‘Maybe he’s not

so one-dimensional.’ ”

Being a reenactor isn’t all

about fighting. Malta resi-

dent Rachel Scheffler, 32, is

the leader of the local barony.

Known as Baroness Epona

Brodin, she spends most of

her time in the group plan-

ning events, although she

also paints silk banners and

embroiders. She said she

spent 15 years in the SCA be-

fore stepping into combat.

“I thought it would hurt

and it didn’t,” Scheffler said.

“I basically got my bell rung.

It was exciting. Instantly

your adrenaline kicks in and

you’re like ‘I get to hit my

friend in the head with a big

stick and they’re going to ask

me to do it again.’ ”

Underneath the armor,

chain mail and personas,

Scheffler said the society is

about something that even

those without an inkling

about medieval times can un-

derstand.

“You get a lot of good help-

ful people in the SCA,” Schef-

fler said. “We want more peo-

ple to come play our game.”

his foreign policy legacy – asmuch as Netanyahu viewsblocking such a deal as a com-ponent of his own.

Netanyahu has been waryof Obama’s diplomatic pur-suits with Iran from the start,fearing the U.S. will leave Teh-ran on the cusp of being able tobuild a bomb. As the outlinesof a deal have emerged andthe deadline has drawn near,his criticism has become moreforceful.

The prime minister has sug-gested the U.S. and its partnershave “given up” on stoppingIran. In response, Kerry hassaid America’s historic sup-port of Israel suggests Wash-ington deserves the benefit ofthe doubt.

While Obama and Netanya-hu have never gotten alongpersonally, the rift over Iranhas sunk their relationship toa new low. The White Househas criticized the prime min-ister’s address to Congress asa breach of diplomatic proto-col, and officials have publiclyquestioned his judgment onthe merits of the Iran deal.

The U.S. has also stoppedsharing some informationabout the nuclear talks withIsrael because of worries thatgovernment officials haveleaked selected details aimedat putting the emerging deal ina negative light. Some officialsfear Netanyahu may makesensitive details public in hisspeech to Congress.

In veiled warnings to theprime minister, both Kerryand Rice said Monday thatsensitive details of the negoti-ations should not be discussedpublicly.

Obama has no plan to meetwith Netanyahu this week, cit-ing Israel’s March 17 electionsand longstanding U.S. policyto avoid appearing to play fa-vorites in foreign voting.

Nurse who survived Ebolasues Dallas hospital system

By JAMIE STENGLEThe Associated Press

DALLAS – The Dallas hos-pital that treated the first pa-tient to be diagnosed in theU.S. with Ebola lied to Con-gress when it said its staffwas trained to handle thedeadly virus, a nurse whocontracted the disease con-tends in a lawsuit filed Mon-day.

Nina Pham, who was anintensive care unit nurse atTexas Health PresbyterianHospital Dallas, said afterbeing told last fall that shewould be treating a patientsuspected of having Ebola,“the sum total” of informa-tion she was given to protectherself was “what her manag-er ‘Googled’ and printed outfrom the Internet.”

She said in her lawsuit

that the day after gettingthat information, the patient,Thomas Eric Duncan, testedpositive for the disease. Dun-can, who contracted Ebola inhis native Liberia but started

showing symp-t o m s d u r i n ga trip to theU.S., later diedat the hospital.Pham, 26, andanother nursew h o t r e a t e dDuncan, Am-b e r V i n s o n ,

contracted the disease butrecovered.

In a statement releasedthrough her lawyers, Phamsaid she felt she had no choicebut to sue the hospital’s par-ent company, Texas HealthResources. “I was hoping thatTHR would be more open andhonest about everything that

happened at the hospital, andthe things they didn’t do thatled to me getting infectedwith Ebola,” she said.

Wendell Watson, a com-pany spokesman, said TexasHealth Resources is optimis-tic that the matter can be re-solved. He would not addressspecific allegations in thelawsuit about statements ahospital official made to Con-gress.

The lawsuit describes achaotic situation at the hos-pital, where nurses scram-bled to decide what kind ofpersonal protective equip-ment to wear “without anyformal guidance or training”from their supervisors. Thelawsuit says Texas HealthResources “wholly failed toensure that appropriate pol-icies, procedures, and equip-ment were in place.”

L.A. police chief: Man killedon Skid Row reached for gun

By TAMI ABDOLLAHThe Associated Press

LOS ANGELES – Police fa-tally shot a homeless man onSkid Row during a “brutal”videotaped struggle in whicha rookie officer cried out thatthe man had grabbed his gun,the Los Angeles police chiefsaid Monday.

Video showed the manreaching toward the officer’swaistband, Chief CharlieBeck said. The officer’s gunwas found partly cocked andjammed with a round of am-munition in the chamber andanother in the ejection port,indicating a struggle for theweapon.

“You can hear the youngofficer who was primarilyengaged in the confrontationsaying that ‘He has my gun.He has my gun,’ ” Beck said.“He says it several times, withconviction.”

Then three other officersopened fire.

The man was black, as isthe rookie officer who wasjust short of completing hisprobationary year on theforce, police said.

Beck’s narrative of the

shooting, including photosfrom video showing the con-dition of the gun, was rare,emerging just 24 hours afteran officer-involved shooting.It came amid heightened at-tention to killings by policeofficers that have led to pro-tests, some violent, across thecountry.

Sunday’s violence hadechoes of the August policeshooting of 25-year-old EzellFord, whose death in a strug-gle with L.A. officers broughtdemonstrations in the city.Ford was unarmed. Policesaid he was shot after reach-ing for an officer’s gun.

Mayor Eric Garcetti saidhe and the police chief need-ed to respond quickly to re-assure residents that thereis a robust investigation intothe shooting, which occurredin the downtown area thatis home to the city’s highestconcentration of homelesspeople.

“I watched the video. Iwatched the tragic events onSkid Row unfold,” the mayorsaid. “We owe the city a thor-ough investigation as to whathappened.”

Video of the shooting was

caught from multiple perspec-tives, including two witnessesrecording from their phonesand cameras worn by two ofthe officers who fired theirweapons. The American CivilLiberties Union called on thepolice department to quicklyrelease footage shot by the of-ficers’ body cameras.

Beck said the incident be-gan when officers arrived toinvestigate a reported rob-bery and the suspect refusedto obey their commands andbecame combative.

A security camera outsidea homeless shelter about 75feet away showed the suspectpushed over a neighbors’ tentand then the two engagedin an altercation. Paramed-ics showed up before police.When officers arrived, theytried to speak to the suspect,who was standing near the en-trance of his tent.

The suspect then turnedand jumped into his tent, andofficers appeared to pull it upand over him in an attemptto roust him from inside. Thesuspect jumped out of the tentflailing, kicking and spinningin circles before ending up onthe ground.

the residents and safe for the

other individuals [in the area].”

Stuckert declined to com-

ment further after the city made

its motion.

Noelle Smith, a property

owner on North Main Street,

shared her concerns about the

property’s location.

“If they’re going to do this,

they need to look at other op-

tions,” Smith said. “I think they

just pushed it through at the

county level without looking at

other options.”

Pietrowski countered thatcounty officials did look at otheroptions, such as mobile homes,but they didn’t meet city code.

Stowe, who has publiclypraised the idea and voted yesfor the plan Monday, said hewas “in a strange position of de-fending the county.”

“They jumped all the hoopswe asked them to,” he told hisfellow council members beforethe vote. “I don’t know how wecan say no.”

Mayor Ken Mundy, as heconsistently has during thisprocess, continued to speak outagainst the plan for the soberliving home, but not the conceptitself.

“Sycamore School District427 is in the midst of finding $4million over three years andthis year is releasing nearly40 positions to help meet theirgoal,” Mundy read from an openletter. “Is this the time [the] citytakes over $3,000 away fromschool taxes annually and over$2,000 more from other localtaxing bodies by allowing 491 E.State St. to become tax exempt?”

Immediately after the meet-ing, Pietrowski said he didn’tknow what all the optionswould be, but Sycamore is ideal.

“The whole point was theproximity to the courthouse,”he said. “That was very import-ant to Judge Stuckert.”

Some prefer to leave their taxes to the prosBy DARIA SOKOLOVA

[email protected]

DeKALB – Emily and EricMoore, a Sycamore couple, usedto file their taxes themselves.But ever since Emily startedrunning her home-based daycare business, she has soughthelp from tax professionals.

On Friday, Emily and Ericsat in the office at JacksonHewitt in DeKalb, while a pro-fessional calculated their taxes.Their 2-year-old daughter Ad-die played nearby.

According to informationreleased by the Interal RevenueService, nearly 40 million taxrefunds worth almost $125 bil-lion have been issued as of Feb.20. The average refund is $3,120.

Emily and her husband saida $5,000 refund they expect to

get this year will go in theirbank account and will be spentthroughout the year. They alsoexpect to save a little bit of it.

“I like it a lot,” Eric Mooresaid about having a profession-al file their taxes. “It’s just easi-er to drop it off, they do it.”

“Better guarantee,” EmilyMoore added.

Some of the tax write-offsthat Emily Moore has for herbusiness are phone, Internet,utilities, mileage and supplies.

John Saponari, franchisegeneral manager at JacksonHewitt at 1260 Oakwood Ave.in DeKalb, said one of the big-gest changes to tax returns thisyear has been Obamacare taxpenalty.

“This year, it’s the moststressful part of it,” said Sap-onari, whose company has

already prepared 4,000 tax re-funds and averages 35 returnsa day in nine locations includ-ing Woodstock, DeKalb and Ro-chelle.

For those who didn’t havecoverage in 2014, the penaltyis 1 percent of their householdincome. This fee is going to in-crease to 2 percent, according tohealthcare.gov.

The least one person can payfor not having an insuranceas of 2014, is $95, the websitestates. However, if insurance isnot affordable based on income,a person can be exempt frompaying fees.

Chris Thompson, officemanager at ProfessionalAcounting and Service Inc. inRockford said those who haveObamacare should expect morequestions on their forms and

a longer wait time for their re-fund to arrive.

“It’s not a big change formost people,” he said about thisyear’s penalties for not havinghealth care coverage.

“They are forcing peopleto get the insurance and a lotof these people could get in-surance covered or at least getsome grants or some help to paytheir monthly premiums, butthey just don’t have any ideasbecause they don’t take thetime,” Saponari said.

Thompson said he tries toencourage his clients to gethealth care coverage versuspay the fine.

“It’s going to keep goingup,” he said. “The fine is onlygoing to increase for the nexttwo years, so you might as wellget it.”

However politically unwise it is for IsraeliPrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to addressCongress today, his message on U.S. and Europe-an negotiations with Iran deserves a respectfulhearing.

Israel has cause for special concern about theprospect of a nuclear-armed Iran emerging in theMiddle East.

Netanyahu has consistently opposed the talkswith Iran: He thinks any agreement that leaves itsautocratic regime with the capacity to enrich ura-nium is unacceptable, because it might be used tobuild a bomb. And if there is one thing that can bepredicted about any deal that might emerge fromthe talks (even without recent leaks), it is that Iranwould retain an enrichment capability.

Netanyahu’s viewgained support recent-ly from no less a realistthan Henry Kissinger,who said that he fearsthe emerging agree-ment might legitimizeIran as a so-callednuclear thresholdstate – a country withsufficient fuel capacityto build a bomb.

Other countries,such as Saudi Arabiaand Turkey, wouldthen want the samethreshold status.

Kissinger is rightto be concerned aboutnuclear proliferationin such a combustibleregion, just as he waswhen Iran sought anuclear program inthe 1960s and ’70s. Andcritics of the currentnegotiations are rightto say Iran’s regimecan’t be trusted – in-deed, no one does trustit.

To make a convincing case to abandon the talks,however, Netanyahu should use his speech to pro-pose a more effective alternative for ensuring Irandoesn’t get nuclear weapons, something he has yetto do.

Speaking Monday before the American IsraelPublic Affairs Committee in Washington, Net-anyahu made a powerful case for ensuring thatIran doesn’t acquire nuclear arms. He also ac-knowledged that he shares this goal with PresidentBarack Obama, but disagrees with him on how toachieve it.

It would be ideal, of course, to get Iran to give upits enrichment program altogether.

For almost a decade, that was the red line thatboth the U.S. and the European Union kept draw-ing. But that approach failed.

After initial talks with Iran ended in 2005, theregime progressively expanded its production ofuranium. There’s no evidence to suggest the cur-rent regime can now be persuaded to surrender itsnuclear fuel program.

Another strategy is to impose more sanctions –as many in Congress insist.

Iran’s economy has suffered significant damagefrom the existing pressure, and perhaps more couldpush it to collapse.

There are at least two problems with this think-ing, however.

First, sanctions have gained traction only sinceEuropean states joined in. So it isn’t Congressthat needs to be persuaded to increase them, butEurope, plus Russia and China. And the way forthe U.S. to make that case is not to undermine thenegotiations by imposing its own new sanctions.

The second problem is that the sanctions, evenamplified as they have been by low oil prices, hav-en’t brought about any sign that the Iranian regimemight capitulate or collapse. The failure of thesetalks, on the other hand, would marginalize the Ira-nian pragmatists who have backed them, includingPresident Hassan Rouhani.

The last available option is airstrikes. Yet theirvalue would be limited – setting Iran’s programback perhaps a year or two – and consequences forthe region would be hard to foresee. In any case,this option would remain on the table should Iranbreak the terms of any deal reached in currenttalks.

Iran is already further from being able to fuel anuclear weapon today because of the terms set forthe negotiations more than a year ago – terms thatNetanyahu, at the time, called a “historic mistake.”

The talks resume this week in Geneva, and ifthey lead to a deal, its strength will depend on thedetails.

Will Iran agree, for example, to a special inspec-tion regime strict enough to ensure that fuel isn’tdiverted to a clandestine weapons program?

In the meantime, there seems to be little reasonthe U.S. should want the talks to collapse.

If they fail, Iranian hardliners have already saidthey will again ramp up enrichment to 20 percent,bringing them closer to a nuclear breakout capaci-ty far faster than any imperfect diplomatic settle-ment would. And on that pledge, Iran can probablybe trusted.

Watch out for China winning ‘marathon’In reflecting on relations

between the United States andChina, Henry Kissinger in his2011 book, “On China,” notesthat since he and Richard Nixonventured to Beijing more than40 years ago, “Eight Americanpresidents and four generationsof Chinese leaders have man-aged this delicate relationshipin an astonishingly consistentmanner, considering the differ-ence in starting points.”

Kissinger diplomaticallyavoids saying that almost everypresidential candidate over theyears has campaigned againstthe Nixon-Kissinger policy andis perhaps taking pride in thefact that every president hascontinued it. Forty-plus yearsis a long time for a democracyto have maintained the samecontroversial policy.

Too long a time, said one ofthose elite Americans who hasmanaged that policy in bothRepublican and Democraticadministrations, for the policyis based on false premises andcould lead to disasters a gener-ation from now. That’s the mes-sage of Michael Pillsbury, in hisnew book, “The Hundred-YearMarathon: China’s Secret Strat-egy to Replace America as theGlobal Superpower.”

This represents somethingof a conversion experience forPillsbury, who not only sub-scribed but contributed to thedominant policy of “construc-tive engagement” with Chinafor many years. He, like manyothers, assumed that increased

economic ties with the West andthe resultant greater prosperitywould move China inevitablytoward capitalism, humanrights and democracy. That hasbeen the hope of the last eightpresidents, from Kissinger’sboss Richard Nixon on to Presi-dent Barack Obama today.

But it doesn’t seem to haveworked out in practice. China’seconomy, Pillsbury argues, isstill very much controlled byand directed toward the inter-ests of its state-owned enterpris-es. Capitalism maybe, but notfree market capitalism.

As for democracy, Pills-bury mocks former colleagueswho have hailed China’s localgovernment elections. They’rea sham, he argues. Control stillis in the hands of Communistparty leaders in Beijing andwith the shadowy hardliners,especially in the military, be-hind them.

He doesn’t doubt that thedemonstrators in TiananmenSquare in June 1989 soughtreal democratic advances. Butthey were mowed down by thehundreds or thousands on theorders of Deng Xiaoping, andthere have been no such risingssince. More than twice as muchtime has passed since Tian-anmen until now (25 years) asbetween Deng’s initial econom-

ic reforms and the massacre (11years).

Hopes that China would be-come a cooperative force in theworld have also faded. Instead,China is threatening its neigh-bors over islets in the East andSouth China Sea and adaptingU.S. technology to build asym-metric weapons to render U.S.forces ineffective.

Americans like to believeothers think and act as wewould. But China’s leadersthink like Chinese, Pillsburysaid, and their models forstatecraft come from China’sWarring States period (475-221BC).

Chinese strategists prize, inKissinger’s words, “subtlety,indirection and the patientaccumulation of relativeadvantage.” Chinese leadershave been pursuing whatPillsbury calls a “hundred-yearmarathon,” patiently trudgingtoward a goal of replacing theUnited States as the world’sdominant power – “hegemon”– by 2049, 100 years after MaoZedong’s victory in the Chi-nese Civil War. So far, 65 yearsdown, 35 to go.

In the meantime, “we don’tknow we are losing the game.”In 2049, he said, China couldhave an economy three timesthe size of ours, could suppressdissent and squelch democracynot only in China but abroad,could export pollution andproliferate weapons withoutserious opposition.

Pillsbury doesn’t address

the arguments that China’srise may slow; that with anaging population it may get oldbefore it gets rich; that with asmaller and more expensivework force it may sink into astatic and deflationary econo-my like Japan’s. Nor does hegrapple with predictions thatChina’s difficult language andsubtle culture may prove lessattractive than America’s moreaccessible English and popularculture.

He would presumably arguethat it’s foolish to rely on suchcontingencies. Better, he says,to try to encourage China’s po-tential reformers and hope theyovercome the ying pai hardlin-ers who seem today even moredominant under Xi Jinping.

How to do that? Develop acompetitive strategy and quitsupporting China in acquiringtechnology. Support Chinesedissidents as Soviet and EasternBloc dissidents were supportedin the Reagan years. TargetChinese corruption, censorshipand pollution.

Most important, recognizethat China’s leaders want notonly to surpass but to suppressus and our way of life. A warn-ing to take seriously.

Hillary Clinton doesn’t need a marketing expertBy ALBERT R. HUNTBloomberg News

Hillary Clinton has enlisteda Coca-Cola marketing whiz tohelp brand her expected presi-dential campaign.

This is quintessentialClinton. The most politicallysavvy couple in America hasa penchant for seeking out thelatest shiny toy, a magic bulletto make everything work.

By many accounts, theCoca-Cola executive, WendyClark, is able. She has workedclosely with Roy Spence, alongtime Clinton ally. But morethan branding or marketing,it’ll be experience, ideas, visionand character that will deter-mine the success of Clinton’spresidential quest. The Clintonsusually don’t do well when theylose sight of that.

Their most infamous miscal-culation of this kind was in late1994, when in the depths of BillClinton’s presidency, the couplesecretly turned to a politicalconsultant named Dick Morristo fix things. He came up witha bunch of small bore issuesand then told the press Clintonwould run as a moral guide for

the country.This recasting had little

bearing on Clinton’s re-electionin 1996. In any case, Morriswasn’t around to enjoy thattriumph: He had to step downafter he was found to havehosted a call girl in a Washing-ton hotel room paid for by theClinton campaign, and had lethis companion listen to his con-versations with the president.

There are plenty of otherexamples, although they aremore benign.

After a rocky start in theWhite House, Bill Clinton en-listed a smart veteran Republi-can, David Gergen, as a cure-all.It was mismatch from the get-go. The Clintons later turned toself-help promoter and motiva-tional pitchman Tony Robbins.

This time around, there arereports that Hillary Clintonwas ecstatic when pollster JoelBenenson joined her probableteam, believing that he wouldbring the secret formula thathelped catapult Barack Obama.Benenson is very capable, buthe didn’t perform magic andhe isn’t any better than GeoffGarin, who was Clinton’s poll-ster in 2008.

In fact, the former secretaryof state has already made hermost important hire: John Po-desta, the veteran Democraticoperative, who will be her cam-paign chairman. He is the Dem-ocrats’ equivalent of Jim Baker– the legendary Republican inthe Ronald Reagan and GeorgeH.W. Bush administrations –with unsurpassed judgment andpotentially the ability to bringorder to the unwieldy Clintonconstellation and talk to thecandidate, and her spouse, as asemi-peer.

Podesta appreciates theneed to bring in fresh facessuch as Benenson and maybeClark. One of the flaws of the2008 Clinton campaign was itsinsularity.

Another major – and evenbigger – shortcoming was thatshe followed the advice of chiefstrategist Mark Penn for herto run as a tough command-er-in-chief who supported theIraq War. The tactic, whichde-emphasized her gender,was a misreading of the times.Obama, who defeated her, un-derstood that.

There have been manyreports that this time, Hillary

Clinton will strongly stresswomen’s issues and the genderangle. She’s been a feminist herentire adult life; the only diffi-culty here would be if the effortlooks too contrived.

All campaigns adapt ortweak their pitch to meet polit-ical realities. In 2008, Obamadidn’t really oppose gay mar-riage, and one wonders if JebBush really believes the IraqWar was such a noble undertak-ing, as he suggested in a recentspeech in Chicago.

Clinton also will adjust. Butas she tries to convey a visionfor governing, she’s goingto have to run as who she is:smart, if not especially innova-tive; disciplined; experienced inthe ways of Washington and theworld; hawkish on national se-curity (witness her leading rolein the military intervention inLibya in 2011, and her supportfor the Iraq War in 2002); andmoderately liberal on domesticissues with a bit of a soft spotfor Wall Street.

No amount of rebrandingwill change those basics.

For the record

The talks resume this weekin Geneva, and if they leadto a deal, its strength willdepend on the details.Will Iran agree, for exam-

ple, to a special inspectionregime strict enough to en-sure that fuel isn’t divertedto a clandestine weaponsprogram?In the meantime, there

Cubs expect ‘dusty’ yearamidWrigley renovationsCHICAGO – When the Cubs

open their season at WrigleyField next month, players andfans alike might feel a bit likea homeowner who lives ina house where workers aretearing apart the kitchen.Members of the media were

led on a tour Monday of thebowels of the Major LeagueBaseball’s second-oldestballpark, which has becomea forest of beams and pipeson a dirt floor amid a massiverenovation. Many of the steelgirders that will support theballpark’s huge new videoboard still are lying on theground beyond the left-fieldwall because record cold inFebruary made it difficult forsteel workers to do their job.But Cubs officials said the

concourse will be open forbusiness and the video boardwill be working come theteam’s Opening Day gameApril 5 against the St. LouisCardinals.To get everything done,

Cubs officials will ask thecity for permission to workaround the clock, said CraneKenney, the team’s presidentof business operations. Andalthough the team has saidfor weeks that the bleacherswon’t be open until May, onMonday officials said thatonly the left-field and cen-ter-field bleachers will open inMay. The right-field bleacherswon’t be open until June,officials said Monday.“It is going to be a little

Springpracticekicks offtoday

By JESSE [email protected]

Not even the snow can stopspring football.

Despite Northern Illinois’season-opener at home againstUNLV still is in the distance –186 days, to be exact – the Hus-kies kick off the 2015 springseason today with the first ofthree consecutive helmet-onlypractices.

The defend-ing Mid-Ameri-can Conferencechampion Hus-kies will have1 5 p r a c t i c e sthis spring –including twoplanned scrimmages and theHuskie Bowl at 2 p.m. April 11.

“Spring is not here yet, butspring ball is and we’re excitedto get on the field,” NIU third-year coach Rod Carey said.“This spring we’re going to tryto find out who we are and whoour leaders are going to be. Af-ter we got that all done, we’llsee what they want becauseevery great team that I’ve beenaround – and last year was noexception to this – every greatteam is senior-led.”

Although the Huskies, whoreturn seven offensive startersand eight defensive starters,will have several seniors onthe field, Carey said he also ex-pects a leadership role to fallto junior quarterback DrewHare.

“That’s the weight of thequarterback,” he said. “It’s theway football is. Being the quar-terback is like being the centerfielder on the Yankees. You’rethe guy.”

Last season, Hare finishedwith 2,322 passing yards, 18touchdowns, two intercep-tions and 900 rushing yards tohelp lead the Huskies to theirfifth straight 11-win season.However, according to Carey,he still has plenty of room toimprove.

“Drew obviously grew a lotthis season,” he said. “He’llbe the first one to tell youthis, I’m not speaking out ofschool here, but he has someimprovement to do. He has toget better. He’s not satisfiedwith where he was at the endof last year. He wants to moveforward and he already hasfrom what I hear and see in theweight room.”

Carey said this springhe’ll be looking at the receiv-er corps – which lost Da’RonBrown and his 68 catches and1,065 receiving yards – and theoffensive line, on which hesaid he hopes to use an eight-man rotation again this year.

BLACKHAWKS 5, HURRICANES 2

RetooledHawks top ’CanesBy MATT CARLSONThe Associated Press

CHICAGO – Jonathan Toews

had two goals and assisted on

Marian Hossa’s score as the

Blackhawks rolled to a 5-2 win

over the Carolina Hurricanes

on Monday night.

Brandon Saad scored his

20th to reach that mark for the

first time in his career, and

Marcus Kruger also connected

for the Hawks, who have won

three of their past four. Toews

increased his total to 21 goals,

trailing only the injured Pat-

rick Kane (27) for the team lead.

Corey Crawford made 27

saves for the Hawks and lost his

bid for a second straight shut-

out when Carolina’s John-Mi-

chael Liles scored at 4:29 of the

third period. Alexander Semin

also scored late in the third for

the Hurricanes,

who snapped a

three-game win-

ning streak.

C a m W a r d

a l l o w e d f o u r

goals on 18 shots

through the first

two periods for

Carolina, and

was replaced by Anton Khudo-

bin to start the third. Khudobin

stopped seven of the eight shots

he faced.

A day after declaring the re-

tooled Hawks a “tight group”

that knows “what our poten-

tial is this year,” Toews deliv-

ered as the Hawks improved to

2-1 without Kane. Toews, the

Blackhawks’ captain, has five

goals in his past five games.

Antoine Vermette and defen-

seman Kimmo Timonen, two of

the three players acquired by

the Hawks during a four-day

run-up to Monday’s trade dead-

line, made their debuts.

Vermette, who came from

Phoenix in a deal Saturday

night for a first-round draft

pick and defenseman prospect

Klas Dahlbeck, was slotted on a

line between Saad and Patrick

Sharp.

The 39-year-old Timonen

played for the first time since

last year’s playoffs with Phila-

delphia. He had been sidelined

all season because of blood

clots discovered in his leg and

lungs this past summer, and

resumed skating only a few

weeks ago.

The Hawks made the deals

to shore up their roster heading

into the playoffs without Kane,

who underwent surgery to re-

pair a broken left collarbone

Wednesday and is expected to

miss 12 weeks.

Toews scored the only goal

of the first period, finishing a

breakaway with a rising shot

past Ward’s glove at 8:07.

Another spot of interest willbe the vacancy left by the grad-uation of tight end Luke Eakes,who Carey praised as the bestin the conference. Carey saidhe expects 6-foot 2, 259-poundsenior Desroy Maxwell and6-4, 249-pound redshirt sopho-more Shane Wimann to battlefor the starting role. Maxwellcaught nine passes for 90 yardslast season.

The schedule of the springseason has it so after the firstweek of practices – which fea-tures a full-pads scrimmage at6:50 p.m. Friday – the Huskieswill have a week off for springbreak before they return to thefield March 17.

“Never done that beforesince I’ve been here,” Careysaid of the early week off. “Butafter talking to a bunch of oth-er head coaches … the guyswho are doing it really lovedoing this.”

Carey said there were sev-eral positive components tohaving the week off, includingallowing the players to be withtheir families for Easter andhaving more time to recoverfrom any injuries.

Two players who fit thatmold are receivers Chad Bee-be and Tommylee Lewis, whoCarey said both will play inlimited roles in the springseason. Beebe, who finishedwith 21 catches for 219 yards,is coming off a broken arm hesuffered in the MAC Champi-onship game and Lewis, whowas a starter in 2013, missedall but two games last year.

MEN’S BASKETBALL:WESTERN MICHIGAN AT NIU

Practices willbe split by a1-week break

G-K to meet Hampshire in semifinals

Kaneland to face host in semifinals

Pollack leads DeKalb with 27 points

appearing visibly ill during

breaks in the action.

“When I’m out there, the

adrenaline takes over,” Lucca

said. “It wasn’t as bad as it was

during pregame and how it is

[after the game]. I’m kind of in

the heart of it right now. I’m in

Day 2 of it.”

Sophomore Zach Miller

went 4 for 5 from behind the

3-point arc for 12 points, and

Tommy Hansen added 10 points

for the Cogs, who advance to

play No. 1 seed Hampshire at 6

p.m. Wednesday.

Sycamore (9-18) got a team-

high 10 points from Timothy

Zahm.

Although the Spartans came

out in a box-and-one to de-

fend Lucca, it was Miller who

opened up the game with back-

to-back 3s in the right corner.

“After that, you could see it

in the kids’ eyes,” Jenkins said.“We anticipated [the box-and-one] a lot more this season. Wewere thinking they might dothat in this game, so we wereprepared for it.”

“We kept pinching in, whichopened up some looks forthem,” Sycamore coach An-drew Stacy said. “Give themcredit. They came out with a lotof energy and jumped on us ear-ly. It looked like we came out alittle timid and not quite readyfor the big stage.”

In the first meeting betweenthe two teams this year, G-Khad to hold on for a 69-65 over-time win over Sycamore. Onthat night, Spartans star soph-omores Jack Mizgalski and TySulaver combined for 49 points.

On Monday, they combinedfor four.

“That’s the best we’ve lookeddefensively in weeks,” Jenkinssaid. “Our help was good. Ourswitching was good. Give Ian(Fell) and Brady (Huffman) cred-

it for covering [Sulaver]. Theystepped up big. [Mizgalski] hadzero and Tommy Lucca guard-ed him tonight, but the key washow we switched on the floor.”

Stacy called it one of theworst shooting nights of theseason for the Spartans, whowent 8 for 20 from the free-throw line compared with Ge-noa-Kingston’s 9 for 11.

The Spartans showed lifeearly in the second quarter,outscoring the Cogs 7-2 in thefirst half of the period. But G-Kgot a three-point play by Luccaand its lead never dropped toless than 15 points the rest ofthe way.

“We wanted to make a state-ment,” Jenkins said. “We feltthat we were better than thefour seed we got in this region-al. We’re playing with a chip onour shoulder this week.”

As far as their meetingagainst top seed Hampshire?

“Wednesday night is goingto be a fun one,” Lucca said.

• COGS-SPARTANSContinued from page B1

With the win, No. 3-seeded

Kaneland (13-15) advances to

play at No. 2 Central at 7:30 p.m.

Wednesday.

The Warriors jumped out with

the early lead Monday, taking an

8-3 advantage in the first quarter.

That’s when Kaneland an-

swered.

The Knights rattled off a

12-0 run that ran into the sec-

ond quarter – capped by a free

throw from Mitchel Groen –

and they never relinquished

the lead.

“I thought we met the

physicality,” Johnson said. “I

thought the boys played real-

ly hard and we did some nice

things defensively.”

The Warriors shot from the

3-point line early and often

against Kaneland – going one

stretch of having five straight

made baskets coming from be-

yond the arc.

“We knew they were good

shooters and they’re tough to

guard,” Johnson said. “I think

that’s a credit to their head

coach. He gets them to play re-

ally hard and really physical.

We knew they could shoot and

we lost them a couple times, but

for the most part, I thought we

played pretty good defense.”

The Knights came into the

game having lost five of their

final six regular-season games.

They had a five-game losing

streak snapped with a crucial

win over Sterling in the regu-

lar-season finale.

“That game at Sterling was

huge because it was senior

night and we needed that W,”

Johnson said. “It was big, and it

was big to win tonight, and now

we have to prepare for Burling-

ton Central, who’s a [heck] of a

team and get ready to play them

on their home floor. You just

want to make it to the next day.”

• KNIGHTSContinued from page B1

advances to face top-seeded Ge-neva tonight in a regional semi-final.

“All of these other teamsknow each other real, real well,and not a lot of people know alot about us. And you can talkabout all the other things, thatwe’re way out there in DeKalb.But we’ve got as good of a bas-ketball team as anybody, andthat’s the way the kids feel. Andas long as they feel like that andwe come out focused and orga-nized, great things can happenfor us.”

The Barbs scorched Bata-via’s defense in the first quar-ter, going 9 for 9 from the flooruntil a miss in the closing sec-onds of the quarter, by whichpoint the Barbs led, 21-12. Ju-nior guard Ethan Conroy madeall three of his shots in thequarter, including a 3-pointer.

Another 21-point quarter inthe second put the Barbs ahead42-29 at halftime. Batavia se-nior forward Chasen Peez cred-ited DeKalb’s terrific shootingbut lamented his team’s role inthe Barbs’ start.

“It goes both ways,” Peezsaid. “Sometimes you have areally great shooting night, but

I put the fault on us. We neededto push them out, make themdribble more instead of gettinga lot of set shots because I thinkthat’s what we let them do.”

DeKalb (22-7) built its leadto 18 points in the third quar-ter before an inspired Bataviapush, spanning the end of thethird quarter and the begin-ning of the fourth, livened upthe Bulldogs’ crowd as Bataviasurged to within 54-49 on a Peezbasket at the 7:20 mark of thefourth quarter.

Biancalana said he wasn’tsurprised by the Bulldogs’ abil-ity to battle back.

“I’ve watched this team longenough this year,” Biancalanasaid. “One thing about having apredetermined regional, we’vebeen watching them since themiddle of January. … I’ve seenthem do this a number of times.They’ve played a great sched-ule.”

But after Batavia (15-15)drew within five points, a9-0 Barbs burst replenishedDeKalb’s cushion, with juniorMichael Pollack pocketing thelast seven of those points.

“I remember last Friday atYorkville, Yorkville did thesame thing to us,” Pollack said.“Coach didn’t call a timeout, helet us work it out on the court,and after that experience, we

were able to take it into thisgame and really handle thepressure.”

Both teams received first-rate individual performanc-es, with Peez scoring a game-high 28 points for Batavia andPollack adding 27 for DeKalb.Pollack continued his torridfree-throw shooting in recentweeks, making all 10 from theline in the game.

All but one DeKalb pointcame from the starting five, withJace Kitchen (14 points), RudyLopez (12), Conroy (12) and bigman Luke Davis (nine despitebattling foul trouble) comple-menting Pollack’s output.

Biancalana considered histeam’s hot, early shooting thetone-setter.

“You know what it did isit took the edge off of us,” Bi-ancalana said. “We were real-ly nervous in the locker roombefore the game. None of thesekids have been in this situationbefore. There’s been no expec-tations on our program.”

The win was the seventhstraight for DeKalb, which shot24 for 37 (65 percent) from thefloor on the night. Next comestop-seeded Geneva (25-3), ateam with five players 6-foot-7and taller.

“We’ll be here,” Biancalanasaid.

NASCAR SPRINT CUP SERIES

Second weekend falls flatAltanta proves tomomentum-killerfor Cup series

CHARLOTTE, N.C. –

NASCAR did not have its

finest weekend at Atlanta

Motor Speedway, where the

follow-up to the Daytona 500

began with the theft of a race

car and a parked SUV rolling

into Denny Hamlin’s motor-

home.

Qualifying was a debacle

for the second week in a row,

rain delayed the start of Sun-

day’s race and Jeff Gordon

once again managed to crash

into a concrete wall that

lacked an energy-absorbing

barrier.

By the time Jimmie John-

son took the checkered flag to

close a cold and wet weekend,

everyone was ready to get out

of Atlanta.

It was a momentum-killing

weekend for NASCAR, which

had staged a strong sea-

son-opener one week earlier

only to fall flat at one of the

more historic tracks on the

circuit.

Things went awry early

when a trailer carrying the

Team XTREME race car for

Travis Kvapil was stolen

from a motel parking lot early

Friday morning.

While the team scrambled

to figure out what it would

do – with no car, Kvapil was

forced to withdrawal from

the race – Hamlin received a

jolt when his motorhome was

struck by a rolling SUV that

mistakenly had been left in

gear.

After those two off-track

distractions were dealt with,

attention turned toward the

debut of the 2015 rules pack-

age. Only that was marred

by the second embarrassing

qualifying session in as many

weeks.

Four series champions

were among the 13 drivers

who didn’t even get to make

a qualifying attempt because

their cars didn’t pass inspec-tion before the session beganFriday afternoon.

Among those stuck in theinspection bay were Gordon,Matt Kenseth, Jimmie John-son and Tony Stewart.

Gordon, who neededtwo attempts to get his carthrough inspection, took theseries to task after he failedto make a qualifying attemptin the debut race for newsponsor 3M.

“When you have this manyteams having issues goingthrough, there’s somethingwrong with this system orsomething wrong with theamount of time they’re allot-ted to get through,” he said.“There’s no way with thismany good cars and talentedpeople that they can’t figureout how to get these carsthrough inspection.

“I’m embarrassed for ourseries.”

It remains to be seen if theproblem was that NASCAR,which a year ago dramatical-ly reduced its team of officialsas it streamlined its process-es and began to use moretechnology and less humancapital, didn’t have enoughinspectors on site and didn’tallot enough time to clear 47cars.

Sprint Cup director Rich-ard Buck indicated the issuewas with the way teams setup the cars in their first racewith a new rules package.

“They’re pushing thelimits,” Buck said. “That’stheir job to get every bit theycan get through (inspection).It’s our job that everyonegets a fair opportunity to getthrough there.”

Whatever the reasoningis for all those cars failing tomake it on the track, it has tobe fixed before this weekend’srace at Las Vegas. NASCARcan’t afford a third straight

week of a champion beingpublicly “embarrassed” forthe series.

But that didn’t even endup being Gordon’s biggestconcern.

A week after Kyle Buschbroke his right leg and leftfoot when he crashed intoa concrete wall at Daytona,Gordon also managed to hita wall that lacked a SAFERbarrier.

Busch’s accident hasspurred NASCAR and most ofthe racetracks to re-evaluatetheir safety standards, andAtlanta took steps to protect alarge stretch that lacked softwalls.

If anyone is going to findan unprotected spot, how-ever, it’s Gordon – he hit aconcrete section at Las Vegasseveral years ago that forcedthe track to install a SAFERbarrier there before NASCARreturned.

Gordon was visibly angryabout his hit Sunday, as weremany fans, who are as frus-trated as the drivers are overa seemingly slow pace to getthe barriers in enough spotsat every track. NASCAR and

its racetracks deserve creditfor a sense of urgency towardaddressing the issue, but it’sunsettling to see drivers con-tinuing to find concrete walls.

Toss in the cold weather,it was 43 degrees when thegreen flag waved under low,thick clouds, and the decisionto move Atlanta’s race dateto the second weekend of theyear seemed quizzical.

The realignment helpedAtlanta sister property Bris-tol Motor Speedway secure abetter spring date, but cameat the expense of a once-proudtrack that seems lost on theNASCAR calendar.

The crowds were small allweekend, and any chance of adecent race-day walk-up wasruined by rain that delayedSunday’s race an hour.

NASCAR now heads westfor a three-race swing thatbegins in Las Vegas and endsin Fontana, California.

One can only hope thateach event goes a lot smooth-er than last weekend.

ADVICE & PUZZLES • Tuesday, March 3, 2015 • Section B • Daily Chronicle / Daily-Chronicle.com4

Dr. Wallace: Stephanie

and I have been friends for

more than seven years and

are very close. In fact, I’m

closer to her than I am to

my sister.

Stephanie and her

boyfriend, Tyler, had been

dating for more than a year,

but they broke up because

he wanted to go out with

other girls, and one in

particular – Ashley. Now

Stephanie hates Ashley and

blames her for causing the

breakup, and she is trying

to get me to ask Tyler out

because she’d rather have

me date him than Ashley.

(She told me he had once

said he’d ask me out if they

ever broke up.)

My problem is that I

have absolutely no interest

in Tyler at all. What should

I do about this very awk-

ward situation I’m in? I re-

ally feel bad for Stephanie,

but I don’t think he wants

to go out with me when

he’s breaking up to go out

with Ashley, and besides, I

don’t think my interference

would help Stephanie in the

long run. – Jan, Wichita,Kansas

Jan: Stephanie’s request

is completely outrageous. If

you followed through with

her plan, it would almost

certainly end up destroying

your friendship with her.

Either she’d start resent-

ing you for dating Tyler or

you’d resent her for pushing

you into doing something

against your will.

Nothing good can come

of using a friend to get back

at a perceived enemy. Gen-

tly tell Stephanie this is not

a game you want to play.

Dr. Wallace: My girlfriend

and I went to a wedding re-

ception last Saturday, and it

so happened that one of our

more popular teachers was

also a guest. We couldn’t

believe it when we saw him

with a beer in his hand.

He is the kind of teacher

who always preaches to

us kids about the evils of

addictive things such as

drugs, alcohol and tobacco.

To see him drinking beer

was a shock.

He saw us at the recep-

tion and said hello to us, but

he didn’t know we had seen

him with booze.

Should we confront him

at school with what we

observed or should we let

things slide and consider

him a hypocrite? – Jessica,Springfield, Massachusetts

Jessica: Do not confront

him. Your teacher has bro-

ken no law. I assume he is

at least 21 years old – legally

old enough to consume al-

cohol. It is important not to

abuse alcohol, but since you

did not observe him being

intoxicated, his drinking a

beer is a non-issue.

He is not a hypocrite. He

should be commended for

teaching the evils of drugs,

tobacco and, yes, alcohol.

The ins and outs of bone marrow transplants

Fight to retainpartner’s entry

Joe Henderson, commentingon the Boston Marathon, said,“The chip (placed in the lacesof a runner’s shoe) also reducesthe damage done by bandits.They still steal drinks andcheers along the course, butno longer scramble the payingrunners’ results. No entry fee,no chip, no time or place.”

In bridge, when you havewinners that could be cashed,no entry, no tricks.

This deal highlights a defen-sive play that would be missedby many. What should happenin three no-trump after Westleads the spade queen?

West opened with a weaktwo-bid, showing a goodsix-card suit and 6-10 high-card points. South, correctlyassuming his partner heldsix or seven points, jumped tothree no-trump. (Yes, he mighthave made a takeout double,but he was worried his partnerwould have gotten overenthu-siastic about diamonds. Notethat five diamonds could havebeen defeated if East gained aclub ruff.)

Declarer started witheight top tricks: two spades,two hearts and four clubs. Heneeded to establish a diamondwinner.

South correctly ducked thefirst trick and won the secondspade. However, then, sinceWest was highly likely to haveone of the top diamonds, declar-er overtook his club jack withdummy’s queen and called for alow diamond.

East remembered thatwhen partner’s suit is one leadfrom being established, doyour utmost to win the nextdefensive trick. East correct-ly put up his diamond king.Then he led his last spade.South tried a second diamond,but West won and cashed hisspades for down two.

Using friend to exact revenge is a bad idea

Dear Abby: I teach at a fairlysmall school. My grade-levelteaching team consists of fiveteachers who work closelytogether.

During the past school year,one of my team members gotengaged. This year, we’ve hada change of staff and now havea new member on our team.My colleague has not, anddoes not, plan to invite thisnew member to her wedding,although the rest of us areinvited. The save-the-dates andshower invitations all havebeen hand-delivered at school,making it awkward for the per-son who has not been invited.

I feel it wasn’t appropriateto include all but one of theteam simply because she isnew to the group. Am I correct

in feeling that my colleaguedid not handle this appropri-ately? – Frustrated In The FirstGrade

Dear Frustrated: A weddingis not a children’s birthdayparty to which all the childrenmust be invited if the invita-tions are handed out at school.While it would have beenmore diplomatic if the bridehad mailed or emailed theinvitations to her teammates,she was in no way obligated toinvite someone with whom shehadn’t worked.

Dear Abby: How do you han-

dle providing truthful adviceto someone with sensitivefeelings? My sister “Ella” is ac-tively dating and doesn’t seemto handle the rejection well.This leads her to ask a numberof questions she wants me tobe truthful about, yet when Ianswer honestly, she gets madand sometimes starts to cry.

Now when Ella asks myopinion, I either tell her half-truths or avoid the situationaltogether. I’m not mean whenI say what I think, but I thinkshe only wants to hear whatshe wants. How do I answerher questions without hurtingher feelings, yet be truthful? –Tongue-Tied In Ohio

Dear Tongue-Tied: You don’t.Instead, you suggest Ella seekinformation from someone

“more qualified” – a psychol-ogist. Because she has hadone failed relationship afteranother, it would benefit herto talk to a therapist so shewon’t keep repeating the samemistakes she’s making. Yoursister might be attracted to thewrong kind of men, or so needyshe chases men away. She maybe more receptive to hearingwhat she needs to from a thera-pist than from you.

Dear Abby: I have a manliving with me as a boarder,paying weekly rent. He’s afriend as well, but not a closeone.

I’m at a loss as to how totell him he can’t use my bathtowels, washcloth, bar soap,toothpaste or hairbrush. I’mtempted to tape a list on the

bathroom mirror saying,“Please do not use the follow-ing,” then list the items I feelare too personal to share. Ican’t imagine how someonewould think it’s OK to usesomeone else’s personalthings. – Grossed-Out Guy InThe South

Dear Grossed-Out: The thingabout silence is it implies con-sent. Obviously, your boarderknows or cares nothing aboutboundaries. If you don’t havethe courage to tell him face-to-face that certain things areoff-limits and what they are,then by all means tape a largesign to the bathroom mirror.

Dear Dr. K: I have leuke-mia. Thankfully, a familymember was a bone marrowmatch. Can you tell me whatto expect during my bonemarrow transplant proce-dure?

Dear Reader: A bonemarrow transplant can bea life-saving treatment. Tounderstand how it works,you need to understand howblood cells are created. Andwhat leukemia is.

Your blood contains redand white blood cells. Thereare several types of whiteblood cells, which are a keypart of your immune system.All your blood cells are madeby blood stem cells, whichlive primarily in the spongycenter of your big bones.

In the years before you gotleukemia, each of your blood

cells was programmed to livefor a while, and then to die –only to be replaced by new,young cells.

When you developedleukemia, genetic changesin some white blood cellssuddenly kept them from dy-ing. As a result, the numberof that type of white bloodcell kept growing. An idealtreatment would kill just thecancerous white blood cells,and allow noncancerous newcells to replace them. Theideal treatment has not beendiscovered. Bone marrowtransplant, while less thanideal, is such an important

advance it was honored withthe Nobel Prize.

In a bone marrow trans-plant, all of your white bloodcells – healthy and cancerous– are killed by drugs, radia-tion or both. Then healthyblood stem cells are infusedinto your blood. Those cellsfind their way to your bonemarrow and start to makehealthy new red and whiteblood cells. The new cellswill multiply.

I’ve put an illustration ofthe transplant process on mywebsite, www.askdoctork.com.

The healthy blood stemcells may be collected fromyour blood before the mainradiation or chemotherapybegins. The cells are treatedto remove any cancer cells,and then stored until the

transplant. In your case, thehealthy blood stem cells willcome from another person(a donor). The donor’s cellsmust be a good “match” foryou – this means certainmarkers on their cells andyour cells are as similar aspossible. This reduces therisk that the cells will berejected by your body.

Bone marrow transplantsusually are used to treatleukemia, lymphomas, Hod-gkin’s disease and multiplemyeloma, because these can-cers affect the bone marrowdirectly. The procedure alsois used for some noncancer-ous conditions, such as sicklecell anemia.

You will stay in the hos-pital for several weeks afterthe transplant. Until yourbone marrow cells multiply

to a certain level, you will beat increased risk of infection.Other serious risks includesevere bleeding, liver prob-lems and increased risk ofdeveloping another cancer.

Another possible problemis that cells from a donormight not match your cellswell enough and the new do-nor cells will begin attackingthe cells of your body. Thisis called graft-versus-hostdisease. You will take med-ications to reduce the riskof this happening. Despitethe dangers, bone marrowtransplantation is usuallysuccessful.
