WHERE IT’S AT

City Council to make long-term plansBY BOB OKON

JOLIET – The Joliet City Council is scheduled to meet Tuesday and Wednesday to set priorities for the next two, three and even five years.

“This is for the City Coun-cil with the help of the staff to determine what direction we want to move in as a commu-nity,” Joliet City Manager Jim Hock said.

Hock, who became city manager in November, pitched the idea of long-term strategy sessions during his job inter-view. One of the advantages of the strategy, he said, is to make annual budget decisions that line up with long-term plans.

The City Council approved a 2014 budget in December with the understanding that spending could be changed based on what is decided in the strategy session. The council meets at 6 p.m. both days in the training room at Fire Sta-tion No. 1, 101 E. Clinton St. Council meetings are by law public meetings. But these strategy sessions are not meant to be public forums, Hock said.

Mayor Thomas Giarrante said he has not heard of much public interest in attending the sessions. But it might be inter-esting to hear what different plans the mayor and council members have for the city.

“Each individual council member has been asked to

make notes on what their pri-orities are,” Giarrante said. He noted there will have to be some concensus when it is over.

When the council is done this week, there will be more work to do, Hock said. City staff will take the priorities established by the council and come back with spending plans to meet the goals. Those plans could reshape the budget ap-proved in December.

“That’s when we take it into the budget and say, ‘What are we going to fund?’ ” Hock said.

The ultimate goal, Hock said, is to spend money with an eye as far as five years into the future. “Your money,” he said, “should go to pay for results.”

Car derailment closes crossingBy BRIAN STANLEY

NEW LENOX – Gougar Road was closed most of Sun-day after a car derailed from a freight train. Police Chief Bob Sterba said shortly after 4 a.m. Sunday the train was east of the Gougar crossing near Lar-away Road when a freightcar’s wheel came off the rails.

“We were told something broke holding the wheel on, so [the car] went off,” Sterba said. Deputy Chief Robert Pawlisz said it appeared the “wheel as-sembly” came off the car it was attached to.

No one was injured and the cars did not tip over or spill contents.

“The railroad has to decou-ple the cars and lift that one off the track right there to replace

the wheel and that’s going to take some time,” Sterba said Sunday morning. “Fortunate-ly, this happened on a Sunday when traffic is lighter, but the road will be closed for some time.”

Gougar was reopened to

traffic around 2 p.m. The Will County Emergency Manage-ment Agency will investigate the incident.

“Thank goodness it turned out to be nothing more than an inconvenience,” Sterba said Sunday night.

COVER STORY | 3

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND

Justin Grammer, 12, of Joliet, was hanging out at a relatives house when his mother telephoned. The boy immediately thought, “Oh, man, am I in trouble now.”

He was wrong.Justin, who prefers com-

ic books to compositions, had won the “Special Olym-pics Illinois Share Your Sto-ry” contest with his 424-word piece “My Big Sis, My Hero,” about his 13-year-old autis-tic sister Jennifer Grammer, a Special Olympics swim-mer.

The prize was attendance at Friday’s “First Look for Charity” event at McCor-mick Place, a pre-opening gala of the 2014 Chicago Auto Show.

The gala benefited 18 charities, according to www.specialolympicsfirstlook.org.

This was the first time he had ever won a contest, Jus-tin said.

Jennifer Grammer of Joliet , Justin’s mother, couldn’t be more proud of her son.

“He truly has a heart and passion for Special Olym-pics,” Jennifer said. “[Justin and Jessica are] best friends. The relationship they have with each other is unbeliev-able and beautiful.”

When Jessica was diag-nosed with autism at age 2, she was nonverbal, nonso-cial and expressed herself through “frustration and anger.”

Oftentimes, Justin was at the receiving end of Jes-sica’s outbursts, Jennifer said, but that did not deter his commitment to her.

“No matter what she did to him,” Jennifer said, “he loved and adored her.”

Despite Jessica’s chal-lenges, she returned that love and adoration.

W h e n J u s t i n l e a r n e d t o r i d e a t w o - w h e e l e r , Jessica learned to r ide one, too, he said. When Jus-tin swam, Jessica paid at-

tention and imitated him, he added.

So four years ago, Jessica began swimming with Spe-cial Olympics Illinois, Jen-nifer said, and “just opened up.”

J e s s i c a t a l k e d a b o u t swimming, Special Olym-pics, about going to state competition three years in a row and the “medals she had won.”

“Last year, she swam her 50 meter backstroke,” Jenni-fer said, “and ended up be-ing the fastest woman in the

state of Illinois for the back-stroke.”

Those victories are Jus-tin’s victories, too. Not only are this brother-sister home-schooled duo each other’s classmates, Justin attends all of Jessica’s swim meets and practices with her six days a week.

“I get in the water and we actually race,” Justin said. “Whatever she sees me do-ing, she likes to do, too.”

Justin is quick to point out the benefits he’s received from Jessica and their asso-ciation with Special Olym-pics.

The other participants, Justin said, are friendly, “happy all the time” and persistent in their quest of success.

“They’re totally different than what you see in every-day life,” Justin said.

Area man to open brewery, tap room

Have a news tip?

By DAN FARNHAM

LEMONT – The space may be empty now, but Brian Pawola has big ideas about how it will be when he opens the Pollyanna Brewing Company at 431 Talcott Ave., Lemont.

Pawola, who is the head brewer and founder of the business, hopes to have his beers on tap in the village and other area towns by this summer.

The brewery is a major career change for the 27-year-old Woodridge resident, who formerly worked in health care IT.

Pawola sat down with Shaw Media reporter Dan Farnham at the future location of his business to discuss how he came to own a microbrewery in Lemont.

Farnham: How did you get started in the brewing business?

Pawola: Professionally I got started by going to the Siebel Institute of Technology and doing their master brewer pro-gram. I did that last February. That’s a six-month program at one of the best brewing schools in the world. It involved two months in Chicago – just bookwork and studying. Then it’s four months in Germany, where it’s all hands-on brew-ing experience and technical training under professional German brewers, which are notoriously the best in the world.

So, it was a very intense, rigorous six months, but I pretty much learned ev-erything it takes to run a brewery, produce good beer and distribute it across the country, which we would like to do.

Farnham: Why did you get into brewing?

Pawola: I was in health care IT before. I had a marketing background, as well, and I always had an entrepreneurial itch. But at the same time, I was creative. I like to cook. I

wanted to use my hands for something that I did for a career. … So I figured that I’d take my passion for brewing and make a career out of it. And the best way to do that was by going to the Siebel Institute of Technology and doing it right, rather than just opening a brewery as a homebrewer and learning as I go. With the professional edu-cation that I got, I think we’re going to be able to do things right from the beginning.

Farnham: How did you chose this location in Lemont?

Pawola: We found this location by accident. One of our founders was actually at the vet next door. They were

talking about how we were looking for a space, and our neighbors said that this space right here has been open for five years. So they took him over, and they looked at it right away. He knew it would be perfect for a brewery because there’s plenty of space downstairs and a perfect spot

for a tap room upstairs. We chose Lemont, as well, once we saw the space because we like the small, historic feel that it has. A lot of people are very proud to live in Lemont. … We want them to be proud of this brewery, as well.

Farnham: What kind of features are you planning for the brewery?

Pawola: We’re going to have a tap room upstairs. It will comfortably seat 45 people. We’re going to have 10 to 12 of our own draft lines. We’ll be serving only our own beer. We won’t have any food, but we are welcoming people to order food in from local restaurants. … We’re going to have very

approachable but experimental beer. We’re going to have some-thing that people that aren’t very familiar with craft beer can get into right away. But, we’re also going to have things that the biggest craft beer fans out there are going to want to seek out. … We have the capci-ty to brew 3,000 barrels of beer a year to start. We have the room in the brewery to double that.

Farnham: When do you plan to open?

Pawola: We’re going to hopefully start brewing in May and have the tap room open in June. We need about a month to get enough invento-ry of beer for other places as well as our own tap room.

LEMONT

Brian Pawola, founder of the Pollyanna Brewing Company, said he hopes to have his brewery and tap house open to the public by June.

One of the more frequent prolems people relate tofoot specialists is deformed nails. Deformed nailscan result from an injurty to the nail, in-growingcorners of the nail, fungus in the nail and manyother conditions. Nail deformities can be painful,they can make shoe fitting difficult, and they cancause infections and irritations.

As with most health conditions, prevention is thekey to good foot and nail health. Simple things maybe done to prevent nail problems including: propercutting of the nails (cut them strait across), wearingwell-fitted shoe gear, and proper foot hygiene toprecent fungus and bacterial infections.

Regardless of how careful one may be, nailproblems can still develop. Treatment for theseproblems is based on the underlying cause. Someconditions may require simple trimming of thetoenail(s), antibiotics, anti-fungal medicationsand possible surgical intervention. Nail conditionscan be very painful and potentially dangerous tooverall foot health. In most cases, they are treatedeffectively with conservative care and pain canoften be alleviated the day of your visit.

Kris StadalskyVIEWS

Spaying your pet can be an act of love

February is the month for romance and love. So you likely don’t think of having a pet spayed or neutered in that context.

February also is National Spay-Neuter Month, accord-ing to a nonprofit organiza-tion whose mission is to end the suffering and euthanasia of companion animals in Illinois.

The U.S. Humane Society estimates that animal shel-ters euthanize about 10,000 cats and dogs every single day – one every eight seconds. An estimated 18.4 million pets have been abandoned across our country.

Why? An average fertile cat can have three litters of four to six kittens a year. A dog can produce about two litters of six to 10 puppies a year.

That same cat and her offspring can then produce 420,000 kittens in seven years. The dog and her offspring could produce 67,000 pups in six years.

Having your pet spayed or neutered is at the center of the overpopulation crisis.

While it may seem like a cruel act to some pet owners, it really is an act of love and kindness.

Pets are lost and aban-doned all the time. It’s during those times they are most likely to do what comes natu-rally and reproduce.

The problem is even more prolific in rural areas in southern Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky.

Kremer Veterinary Ser-vices, which owns Mallard Point Veterinary Clinic in Channahon, is one of several facilities that provides rescue efforts for many of these abandoned animals. The Kremer animal hospitals, six in all, house the rescues for Help Save Pets humane soci-ety arm of the business.

One of the first things done for the rescued animals before they are allowed to be adopted out is to have them spayed or neutered, said Suzanne Ward, administrator for Kremer clinics.

“That’s the whole point of shelters and animal control,” Ward said. “We work with [them] to help control over population.”

Many veterinarians, Kremer clinics included, offer low-cost or discounted spay and neutering services to their

customers to help combat the overpopulation problem.

Spay Illinois is providing low cost spay and neutering at the Lisle Pet Well Clinic for Will and Cook county residents during the month of February for up to two pets per household. Contact them at 877-475-7729 or go to www.spayillinois.org.

The benefits of spaying or neutering are many. It can actually increase the chance of a longer, healthier life for your pet, reduce the risk of certain cancers and tumors, and reduces their urge to roam where they can con-tract diseases or be lost and injured. It also can decrease aggressive behavior in dogs.

The hope is that some day there won’t be millions of animals running loose, repro-ducing, starving, exposed to extreme temperatures and be-ing left to fend for themselves.

It really is an act of love to have your pet “fixed.”

“It’s the most important part of wellness care in the beginning,” Ward said. “So they can live a healthy life.”

PHOENIX,ARIZONA—If Pharmacist of theYear, Dr. GeneSteiner, had a nickel for every timesomeone leaned over the counterand whispered, “Do you have any-thing that can improve my memo-ry,” he would be a rich man today.It’s a question he’s heard countlesstimes in his 45-year career. Hehas seen families torn apart by theanguish of memory loss and mentaldecline, a silent condition thatthreatens the independent lifestyleseniors hold so dearly.In his years-long search for a

drug or nutrient that could slowmental decline, he finally foundthe answer in the pages of anobscure medical journal.“I was studying materials aboutmemory loss and cognitivedecline, and there it was, right infront of me...evidence of a realmemory pill!”“At the time, I was an anchor for

a medical program in Los Angeles.I was so excited that I contacted theauthor of the research and invitedhim to come on the program asa guest.”“I wanted millions of listeners

to learn about this importantnew development!”

Dr. Steiner’s guest that night, USresearcher, Josh Reynolds, observeda common ‘disturbance’ in agingbrains, one that may be the primarycause of degrading memory andconcentration powers.

Gasping for Air?He saw evidence that older

brains were ‘gasping for additionaloxygen,’a condition caused by poorblood circulation.

“Insufficient circulation,” saysSteiner, “reduces oxygen to thebrain, a sign of premature mentaldecline.This also restricts the supplyof critical brain specific antioxidantsand nutrients.”Reduced blood flow has anotherbrain-numbing effect: it slashesthe number of neurotransmittersin the brain, the messengermolecules used by the brain tohelp form thoughts, retrievememories, and help its owner stayfocused and on-task.Fewer neurotransmitters circu-

lating in the brain translates toconcentration and memory woes.So, Reynolds and a team of

scientists developed a natural, drug-free compound shown in researchto prompt aging brains to begin to‘think and react,’ younger.

Tired Brains Snap Awake!“It helps tired, forgetful brains to‘snap awake,” says Dr. Steiner.“This natural memory pill is to

your aging, sluggish brain, what abreath of fresh air is to your lungs,”he says.

It works so well, explainsSteiner, that the participants in a

peer-reviewed, in-ternational researchstudy not only sawimprovements intheir memory, moodand concentration,but they also re-gained lost brain-power equal to thatof someone 15 yearsyounger, all in a 30-day time period!This made perfect

sense to Dr. Steiner,who knew instinc-tively that age-relatedmemory problems

may be correctable.

After the ShowAfter the show, Dr. Steiner

confided to his guest that he wasfearful of not being able to recallcertain subject matter for hispopular radio show.“He gave me a couple of bottles

and instructed me on its use,” saysDr. Steiner.“Within a few days, I can tell

you without reservation that mymemory became crystal clear!”

Feeding an Older BrainThe formula helps oxygenate

listless brain cells to revitalize andprotect them from free radicalscaused by stress and toxins.It also helps restore depleted

neurotransmitter levels, whilefeeding the aging mind withbrain-specific nutrients andprotective antioxidants.Steiner was so impressed that he

began recommending the formula tohis pharmacy customers.

“I had such marvelous resultsthat I not only started recommend-ing it tomy customers, I even sharedit with other physicians!”

Pharmacy Best-Seller“It became the best-selling brainhealth product in my pharmacy andcustomers were returning to thankme for introducing them to it.”“It felt great to see somany peoplewhose lives were enriched by takinga simple, natural formula.”“A rookie doctor right out ofmedical school can set a brokenbone, or treat a rash or runny

nose,” explains Dr. Steiner.“But he is often clueless when itcomes to helping a patientwho can’tremember to take his medicine, orforgets where he’s parked his car,or even worse, foolishly leaves theoven on at night.”“With this simple, drug-free

formula, we finally have somethingthat we can recommend that is safeand effective. And you don’t need aprescription either!”Recently, Dr. Steiner relocatedto another state and was appre-hensive about taking the stateboard of pharmacy jurispru-dence examination, a dauntingexamination that tests a candi-date’s mastery of pharmacy law.“I began taking the natural

memory compound for twoweeks prior to the test, and Ipassed with flying colors!”“Therecall Ipersonallyexperiencedwas fantastic,” says Steiner.

Many frontline healthcareprofessionals are embracing thisnatural remedy for three reasons.First, the formula was submit-

ted to the rigors of a placebo-con-trolled, randomized, double-blindclinical trial, using the same FDA-sanctioned brain testing protocols

used to qualify prescription-soldcognitive medicines.“The findings for improved brainfunction were shocking,” saysSteiner.Then, the results were shared withthe world in a well-respected, peer-reviewed medical journal.

#1 Selling Brain Health PillThirdly, this natural, memory-boosting wonder has passedthe toughest yardstick of all –scrutiny from the US consumer.

Word has spread; in a veryshort time, Reynolds’ memory-booster has quickly become the#1-selling brain health supple-ment in the United States.Dr. Steiner estimates that

as much as 10 million single-doses have been used withexcellent results by ‘lots offorgetful folks.’Users like Selwyn Howell*

agree. He credits the memorycompound with bolstering hisconfidence.“It helped me speak out morethan I used to. I am growingmore confident every day.”Carey S.* reports, “I feel so muchmore focused and with the newenergy I’m now ready to tackle

the things I’vebeen puttingoff for years!”Elizabeth K.*of Rochester,New York ex-perienced anight-and-daydifference inher mind andmemory. Atthe age of 54,her memorywas decliningat an “alarmingrate.”“I was aboutto consult aneu ro l og i s twhen I read anewspaper ar-ticle about it.”“It took abouta month for thememory benefit

to kick in. Sixmonths later, evenmyhusband was impressed with my

improved memory. And I am veryhappy with my renewed mentalclarity and focus!”“I highly recommend it,”

says Dr. Steiner. “This drug-free compound is the perfectsupplement for increasing one’sbrain power. If it worked for me,it can work for you!”

AN EXTRAORDINARY LIFE

Teacher cared more for lives than grades

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND

Former Joliet resident Dr. Larry Nelson lived in that “sweet spot in life,” said Larry’s brother Paul Nel-son of North Carolina, “the intersection of passion and giftedness.”

That’s why, Paul said, Lar-ry kept on teaching history at the University of North Alabama in Florence, despite chemotherapy treatments for a glioblastoma. Larry taught until several weeks before his Jan. 14 death at age 69.

His students, Paul said, best remember Larry for three things: teaching them to think critically, his informal Bible studies and the parroting of his original sound bites. For instance, “bling bling” referred to “shiny, shallow” time wasters, such as video games and popular TV shows.

“He had found his ful-fillment,” Paul said of the brother who cared more about people than he did grades, “and he wanted others to find the same.”

History had fascinated Lar-ry since childhood, Paul said. Larry roamed cemeteries and conjectured on people’s lives just through reading dates and phrases on tombstones. He did the same when passing auto wrecking sites.

“He’d say, ‘This car was once in a showroom and it was someone’s pride and joy,’ ” Paul said. “Then he would theorize about the family and how the car had run through the years.”

But it was Larry’s parents, Lawrence Nelson, a white collar manager in a chemical plant and Hannah Nelson, who shaped Larry’s Christian faith. Both parents ministered to the homeless at Morning-Star Mission when it was on Collins Street in Joliet, Paul said.

Lawrence would preach from the Bible and Hannah was part of a singing gospel trio that always sang the same two songs, “Where He Leads Me I Will Follow” and “Noth-ing But the Blood,” Paul said.

Dr. Larry H. Nelson as his students knew him. His podium now has a home with family members.

See TEACHER, page 13

“The songbook opened at those two songs and those pages were dirty,” Paul said. “The rest of the book was clean and white.”

The gregarious manner in which Larry enlivened historical facts also applied to Larry’s approach to sharing scripture, Paul said. In addi-tion to writing history-related peer reviews, he published articles and two books: “King Cotton’s Advocate; Oscar G. Johnston and the New Deal” and “Rumors of Indiscretion; The University of Missouri ‘Sex Questionnaire’ Scandal in the Jazz Age.”

Larry also contributed ar-ticles to Christian publication and held standing-room only Bible discussions at fraternity and sorority houses.

“He did the same thing in his backyard,” Paul said. “He’d invite a few students

over and soon there’d be 80 kids.”

Paul feels that experienc-ing the death of a 4-year-old son from a brain tumor helped bring Larry and his wife, Verlie, closer together, as well as strengthen their faith. That solid relationship, Paul said, was attractive to Larry’s students.

“Many of his students came from broken homes,” Paul said, “so many of them had not seen marriage mod-eled for them.”

Ironically, Paul had talked to Larry about the benefits of retirement shortly before Lar-

ry received the diagnosis that would lead to an eight-month cancer battle, a decision to continue teaching and an absolute trust in God.

“Larry was very open in talking about life and death. He never asked ‘Why me?’ and he never was sour grapes,” Paul said. “He just said, ‘It’s in God’s hands if he wants me to live and teach. If it’s God’s time for me, I’m ready.’ ”

16 STATE & NATION

Economy may be in slow lane for long runBy JOSH BOAK

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – In the 4½ years since the Great Recession ended, millions of Americans who have gone without jobs or raises have found themselves wondering something about the eco-nomic recovery:

Is this as good as it gets?It increasingly looks that

way.Two straight weak job

reports have raised doubts about economists’ predic-tions of breakout growth in 2014. The global economy is showing signs of slow-ing – again. Manufacturing has slumped. Fewer people are signing contracts to buy homes. Global stock markets have sunk as anxiety has gripped developing nations.

Some long-term trends are equally dispiriting.

The Congressional Budget Office foresees growth pick-ing up through 2016, only to

weaken starting in 2017. By the CBO’s reckoning, the economy will soon slam into a demographic wall: The vast baby boom generation will retire. Their exodus will shrink the share of Ameri-cans who are working, which will hamper the economy’s ability to accelerate.

At the same time, the gov-ernment may have to bor-row more, raise taxes or cut spending to support Social Security and Medicare for those retirees.

Only a few weeks ago, at least the short-term view looked brighter. Entering 2014, many economists pre-dicted growth would top 3 percent for the first time since 2005. That pace would bring the U.S. economy near its average post-World War II annual growth rate. Some of the expected improvement would come from the govern-ment exerting less drag on the economy this year after having slashed spending and raised taxes in 2013.

In addition, steady job gains dating back to 2010 should unleash more con-sumer spending. Each of the 7.8 million jobs that have been added provided income to someone who previously had little or none. It amounts to “adrenaline” for the econ-

omy, said Carl Tannenbaum, chief economist for Northern Trust.

And since 70 percent of the economy flows from consumers, their increased spending would be expected to drive stronger hiring and growth.

“There is a dividing line between a slow-growth econ-omy that is not satisfactory and above-trend growth with a tide strong enough to lift all the boats and put people back to work,” said Chris Rupkey, chief financial economist at Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi. “That number is 3 percent.”

The recovery had ap-peared to achieve a break-through in the final quarter of 2013. The economy grew at an annual pace of 3.2 percent last quarter. Leading the upswing was a 3.3 percent surge in the rate of consum-er spending, which had been slack for much of the recov-ery partly because of high debt loads and stagnant pay.

Advocates for expanded gambling hopeful this yearBy KERRY LESTER The Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD – After fail-ing to win enough support the past two years, proponents of expanded gambling in Illinois see it having better chances this year, with other issues out of the way and the state in dire need of cash.

The legislation, which would establish five new casinos and authorize slot machines at racetracks and airports, went out with a whimper last May as the ses-sion adjourned. Lawmakers discussed the lengthy, com-plex proposal extensively but never called it for a vote.

So far, advocates are push-ing almost identical legislation this year, but circumstances are different. It’s an election year, but lawmakers must deal with a number of difficult tax and budget issues, even as they try again to overcome

the ethical concerns raised by Gov. Pat Quinn.

“I believe there’s an oppor-tunity to pass a bill that the governor will sign,” said state Rep. Lou Lang, an assistant House majority leader and sponsor of previous gambling legislation. “Having said that, it’s a timing issue. There’s an election year, and gaming is a difficult issue at best.”

Much has changed in re-cent months, including the passage of pension reform legislation, which Gov. Pat Quinn had said must be ac-complished before he’d con-sider signing a gambling ex-pansion proposal. Quinn has vetoed two previous gaming bills passed by the Legisla-ture.

In addition, lawmakers have been looking for new sources of funding as they debate whether to extend the state’s income tax increase, which is scheduled to roll back

from 5 percent to 3.75 percent next January. Sponsors say gambling expansion would provide an estimated $400 million to $1 billion a year in revenue.

“There’s no doubt we need some revenue,” said Sen. Ter-ry Link, a Waukegan Demo-crat.

The bill, sponsored by Democratic State Rep. Bob Rita of Blue Island, calls for adding casinos in Rockford, Danville, Chicago’s south suburbs and Lake County in addition to Chicago. It also would allow current and fu-ture casino licensees to apply for an online gambling license and add slot machines at the state’s horse-racing tracks and O’Hare and Midway interna-tional airports. The bulk of revenue from brick-and-mor-tar gambling would go toward school funding.

Rita, who has been con-ducting a series of public hear-

ings around the state, says the legislation could be changed to “address regional concerns,” including some that surfaced last month during a forum in East St. Louis.

That city’s top officials, along with executives with the Casino Queen, cautioned against allowing slot ma-chines coveted by the strug-gling nearby Fairmount Park horse track, saying slots at the racetrack would eat into the local tax revenue the casino provides the city.

That discourse was cordial, but it reflects the divide Rita may have to bridge in gather-ing broader support for his ex-pansion efforts.

Still, Rita said, his mea-sure’s framework and its main components are expected to remain the same as the bill that failed to get traction last spring.

“I think the time’s right,” he said.

Obama resists pressure to act alone on immigration

By DONNA CASSATA and JIM KUHNHENN The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – For a president looking for a legacy piece of legislation, the current state of the immigration debate represents a high-wire act.

President Barack Obama could act alone to slow depor-tations, and probably doom any chance of a permanent and comprehensive overhaul. Yet if he shows too much patience, the opportunity to fix immi-gration laws as he wants could well slip away.

As Republican leaders dampen expectations for over-hauling immigration laws this year, the White House is hop-ing that the GOP resistance is temporary and tactical, and Obama is resisting pressure from some political allies to take matters into his own hands and ease his administra-tion’s deportation record.

House Speaker John Boeh-ner this week all but ruled out passage of immigration legis-lation before the fall midterm elections, saying Republicans had trouble trusting that Obama would implement all aspects of an immigration law.

White House officials say they believe Boehner ultimate-ly wants to get it done. But they acknowledge that Boeh-ner faces stiff resistance from

conservatives who oppose any form of legalization for immi-grants who have crossed into the United States illegally or overstayed their visas. As well, Republicans are eager to keep this election year’s focus on Obama’s health care law.

Obama is willing to give Boehner space to operate and to tamp down the conservative outcry that greeted a set of im-migration overhaul principles the speaker brought forward last week. For now, the White House is simply standing be-hind a comprehensive bill that passed in the Senate last year, but is not trying to press Boeh-ner on how to proceed in the Republican-controlled House.

Vice President Joe Biden told CNN that Obama is wait-ing to see what the House pass-es before responding.

For Republicans the immi-gration issue poses two polit-ical challenges. In the short term, it displays intraparty di-visions when they want to use their unified opposition to the health care law as a key issue in the 2014 elections. Immigra-tion distracts from that strat-egy. But failure to pass an im-migration overhaul would be a significant drag on the chances of a Republican winning the 2016 presidential election if angry Latino voters are mobi-lized to vote for the Democrat-ic nominee.

A fresh start for Hillary Clinton and liberals?

By KEN THOMAS The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – As Hil-lary Rodham Clinton mulls a second presidential bid, liberals are closely watching whether the onetime support-er of the Iraq war moves to the left or straddles the center.

Democrats say economic issues such as raising the min-imum wage and protecting Social Security have become paramount for anyone aiming to lead the party after years of tough economic times.

During the 2008 prima-ry campaign against Barack Obama, Clinton was hurt by her stand on the Iraq war while she was a senator. But she burnished her image among party loyalists during four years at the State Depart-ment in the Obama adminis-tration. Now liberals want to see how she might carry the torch from Obama.

“We’re going to see income inequality play the same role that the war in Iraq played in 2008,” said Ilya Sheyman, ex-ecutive director of MoveOn.org, a liberal advocacy group. “This is less about what she did before. The issue land-scape right now is very differ-ent than in 2008.”

Whether a viable Clinton alternative emerges for the 2016 campaign remains a looming question.

Vice President Joe Biden is leaving his options open. Some liberals hope Sen. Eliza-beth Warren, D-Mass., will re-consider statements that she has no plans to run. Others

point to ex-Montana Gov. Bri-an Schweitzer, who addressed a progressive group in Iowa in December, or Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, who is con-sidering a presidential run but endorsed Clinton in 2007.

Liberals have backed ef-forts by Warren to expand So-cial Security benefits instead of trimming them to keep the program solvent. In a speech at Colgate University last year, Clinton suggested she shared Obama’s approach for a “grand bargain” style deficit reduction that would include increases to tax revenue and adjustments to entitlement programs such as Social Secu-rity and Medicare.

Progressives want Clin-ton to take a tougher stand on Wall Street. They grumble about her speeches at private financial conferences, where she can command fees of $200,000.

“It’s a big unknown on where Hillary Clinton stands on issues like core economic populist issues,” said Adam Green, co-founder of the Pro-gressive Change Campaign Committee. He said there are “a lot of people who want to support her and are rooting for her to adapt to the times” but if she doesn’t, there will be room for a challenger.

On Super Bowl Sunday, liberals reacted favorably when Clinton urged fellow Democrats to avoid tougher penalties against Iran as the administration negotiates a comprehensive nuclear deal.

THE FIRST AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

John Rung Robert Wall Kate Schott

Vladimir Putin intended the Winter Olympics opening last week in Sochi to be a showcase for the revived Russia he believes he has created over the past 15 years: an economic power and a conservative counterpoint to the liberal and secular West.

In reality, Sochi will provide, at best, another example of how awarding the Games to autocrat-ic governments like that of Mr. Putin only reinforces their worst practices while undermining what should be the Olympics’ commitment to human freedom and tolerance.

Even before the Opening Ceremonies, Sochi had become a symbol of the corrupt excess and misplaced priorities of Mr. Putin’s regime, which squan-dered a record $51 billion on the Caucasian resort and yet failed to complete hotels and other needed facilities by last week.

Much of the money was lav-ished on cronies of Mr. Putin, in-cluding a former childhood judo partner, and opposition leaders say tens of billions were stolen. It’s hard to reconcile this Stalin-ist excess with Russia’s needs, as an emerging economy, for private and foreign investment, the rule of law and pragmatic economic management.

Even more disturbing is the shadow cast over the Games by Mr. Putin’s repellent embrace of homophobia – gays will be wel-come in Sochi, he said, provided they “leave kids alone” – and restrictions on free speech and protests. Like Beijing in 2008, So-chi will have designated protest zones, but Russian dissenters who manage to penetrate mas-sive security deployments and obtain an official permit will find themselves seven miles from the nearest Olympic site.

President Obama and other Western leaders rightly chose not to sanction this spectacle with their presence. Many of the athletes and spectators who do attend will be worried about the possibility of terrorist attacks, es-pecially after reports that “black widows” – female would-be suicide bombers – have infiltrat-ed the city. While such threats are an unfortunate aspect of all Olympics, they have been com-pounded by Mr. Putin’s hubristic promotion of Sochi, which lies adjacent to Caucasian republics where brutal repression by Rus-sian security forces has spawned one of the world’s most virulent homegrown terrorist movements.

Predictably, the International Olympic Committee is defending Mr. Putin on every aspect of his malfeasance, from the treatment

of protesters and gays to the wasteful spending and unfin-ished hotels. IOC member Ma-

rio Pescante of Italy criticized the U.S. for including openly gay representatives in its offi-cial delegation. IOC President Thomas Bach recently told reporters that he is “sleeping very well” in spite of the ter-

rorism alerts and compared Sochi to Salt Lake City, which hosted the Winter Olympics a few months after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

We hope all who compete in or attend the Games are

kept safe. But few are likely to confuse Mr. Putin’s muddy police encampment with Salt Lake City, Vancouver or oth-er host cities in democratic nations where Olympics have been built on civic participa-

tion, private sponsorship and the rule of law. The endur-ing problem of the Olympic movement and its leadership is that, like Mr. Bach, it is un-able to make that distinction.

STAFF REPORTS

BLOOMINGTON – Chalk up another strong showing for the area at an IHSA state finals competition.

Lemont’s cheerleading program once again is a state champion. After posting the top score in their division on the first day of competition, the Indians put forth a nearly flawless routine in the final round and held on to capture the Medium Division state championship at U.S. Cellular Coliseum. Lemont has won trophies in each of its nine state finals appearances, and has won four state titles in six seasons.

The Indians’ state cham-pionship is their first under head coach Dave Erlenbaugh, who is in his second year

heading the Lemont program. The Indians won consecutive state titles from 2009-11 under Brittany Glowa.

In the champ ion s h ip round, Lemont posted a score of 90.84, which marked its best score of the postseason. Morris and Highand each won state trophies, as well, post-ing scores of 88.98 and 88.92 to finish second and third, respectively, in the Medium Division.

Lemont’s first-day score (88.22) was tops among the 25 entrants in the medium divi-sion.

Erlenbaugh’s squad in-cludes seniors Madison De-tres, Emily Durham, Gianna Letizia, Miranda Neumann, Rebecca Peraino, Kelsey Tate, Gianna Turek and Danielle Wohead; juniors Alyssa Ba-

kovich, Easton Kral, Reann Kwasneski, Elly Lambert, Ni-cole Markley, Stephanie Mar-kley, Kayly Norris, Samantha Palumbo, Jenna Polk and Sa-mantha Walus; sophomores Erin Cliff and Katelyn Papi-erski; and freshman Caitlyn Henry. Detres, Durham, Tate, Turek and Wohead all were part of the school’s last state championship squad as fresh-men in 2011.

In the Large School Di-vision, Lincoln-Way East captured the championship with a score of 97.06. Neuqua Valley was second with 95.00, with Providence (93.94) third and Joliet West (93.72) taking fourth in its best finish.

In the Small School Divi-sion, Wilmington (79.62) fin-ished eighth and Reed-Custer (77.60) was 10th.

LA PORTE, Ind. – Junior Chris Miller scored 27 of his game-high 34 points in the second half as the Uni-versity of St. Francis men’s basketball team overcame a 10-point halftime deficit en route to a 90-78 Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Con-ference victory over host Purdue University North Central on Saturday night. It was the 199th win of USF coach Ryan Marks’ career.

With his team trailing 45-35 at the intermission, Miller poured in 17 points in the first eight minutes of the second stanza to pull the Saints to within three points, 64-61. USF took its first lead of the second half, 69-67, on a jumper from sophomore Brian Edwards, a Joliet West graduate, with 8:27 left in the game. The Saints (12-13, 9-6) remained

on top the rest of the way, eventually building a dou-ble-digit advantage, 84-74, at the 2:09 mark.

Miller, whose 34 points were the most by a USF play-er this year, connected on 11 of 14 attempts from the field, including a four-for-four ef-fort from three-point range. He also was perfect on eight free throw tries. Sophomore Edvinas Presniakovas of Plainfield South scored 13 points, while senior Andrew Lerg came off the bench to add 12, bringing his career total to 900.

Led by senior Mark Pe-ters’ eight rebounds, the Saints enjoyed a 35-27 edge on the glass.

USF returns to the Sulli-van Center for its final two regular season home games, beginning Wednesday night against Indiana University South Bend. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m.

Lincoln-Way East graduate Dean Anna was the San Diego Padres’ 26th-round draft pick out of Ball State in 2008.

The left-handed hitting middle infielder has limited power, an average arm and does not run particularly well. He never has been on anyone’s list of hot prospects.

But last season, he won the Triple-A Pacific Coast League batting title with a .331 aver-age. The Padres did not have room for him on their 40-man roster and did not want to lose him and get nothing in return in the Rule 5 draft, so in the offseason they traded him to the Yankees for minor league pitcher Ben Paulus.

The Yankees were in the process of restocking their infield after second baseman Robinson Cano signed as a free agent with Seattle, third baseman Alex Rodriguez ac-cepted his season-long ban and shortstop Derek Jeter missed virtually all of last season with various injuries. They signed veterans Kelly Johnson and oft-injured Bri-an Roberts in addition to trad-ing for Anna.

Anna, 27, is solid with the glove. He can play second base, shortstop or third base. He has walked nearly as much as he has struck out through his six minor league seasons.

Yet, he has no guarantees as he awaits his major league debut. That’s par for the course.

“I’m not a power hitter, definitely a line driver hit-ter,” he said. “I use the whole field, take what guys give me.

“When you’re a 26th-round pick, you don’t have much credibility. It’s been a long journey to get where I am. So it’s nice to have on the resume

that you won the PCL batting title. I’ve had to prove people wrong day in and day out.”

Anna will have a spring in his step when he begins spring training with the Yan-kees in about 10 days.

“Absolutely, I’m excited about a new opportunity,” he said. “I was speechless when the trade came down. A chance to play for the best or-ganization around is exciting. I’ll work hard and see what happens. If I make the club, that would be great.”

If not, Anna likely will begin the season at Triple-A Scranton and be a phone call away from New York. He be-lieves his time will come.

“I wouldn’t be playing now if I did not believe I would be playing in the majors some day,” he said. “Cano leaving gave a lot of people an oppor-tunity, including myself.”

Anna is a career .286 hit-ter in the minor leagues with a .386 on-base percentage and .428 slugging percentage. Last season, the numbers jumped to .331/.410/.482. Anna said there is a reason.

“I’m learning to be proper-ly prepared for every single game,” he said. “I was hitting .320 in Double-A (he was at San Antonio in 2011 and 2012), then fell off. I was not used to play-ing every day. I was working so hard, taking so much extra

hitting, that I was dog tired when the game started. I had no chance.

“You have to learn yourself in this game, learn how your swing works. It’s a tough gig, and you have to keep at it. It’s nice to really know your job, what you do.”

Anna feels the knowledge he has acquired makes him a viable candidate to fill a role in the Yankees’ infield.

“I’m definitely a better player now than when I start-ed in pro ball in every way imaginable – baserunning, fielding, hitting, knowing the game,” he said. “It was like a roller coaster the first couple of years.”

Anna, whose hometown is Mokena, has been working out in Tampa, Fla., where the Yankees train. He’s been talking with Yankees’ coaches and getting as familiar as he can at this point with his new team.

When he does arrive in Yankee Stadium, imagine the experience that will be.

“The environment in New York is what it is,” he said. “You have to try to block it out. Just go on the field and try to win. Take it pitch by pitch.”

That’s the way Dean Anna plays the game. He’s a grind-er. The Yankees are no differ-ent that anyone else. Any club can use someone of that ilk.

Plainfield Central wins Bolingbrook RegionalBy CURT HERRON

BOLINGBROOK – Although it didn’t have a full lineup for Saturday’s Class 3A Boling-brook Regional, Plainfield Cen-tral’s wrestling team made the most of what it had on hand.

at conference.“We try to have our kids

stay even-keeled and focused, even if matches don’t go our way. The kids believe in us as coaches and we believe in them, and when that’s the case, then good things can happen.”

Gibson, Noah lead Bulls to 92-86 win over Lakers

By JOE RESNICK The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES – Joakim Noah played the final 6:53 with five fouls. Chicago coach Tom Thibodeau didn’t want to take him out with the Bulls’ dou-ble-digit lead slipping away, and that’s just the way the All-Star center wanted it.

Noah finished with 18 points and 13 rebounds, and the Bulls held off the stubborn Los An-geles Lakers 92-86 on Sunday after nearly blowing a 19-point advantage. After picking up his last foul, Noah made a key block against 7-footer Chris Ka-man and got a dunk at the other end – all in a 16-second span.

“It was too tight. Either we were going to win it with him, or that was going to be it,” Thi-bodeau said. “At that point, I didn’t think we could afford two or three minutes [with Noah on the bench], so we rolled the dice and were fortunate. We’re a little short-handed right now – and the way they spread you out on the perimeter, you need guys that can cover ground.”

Kirk Hinrich had 19 points and Taj Gibson added 18 for the Bulls, who never trailed against an injury-ravaged Lak-ers squad missing Kobe Bry-ant, Pau Gasol, Jordan Farmar, Nick Young, Jodie Meeks and Xavier Henry. Gasol, who had a season-high 19 rebounds the previous time the teams met, missed his fourth straight game because of a groin strain.

Kaman scored a season-high 27 points off the bench for the Lakers, who won their previ-ous two games following a 3-19 slide that buried them in the race for a Western Conference playoff spot. The 11-year veter-an’s point total was two off his career high, which came Feb.

13, 2012, when he was playing for New Orleans against Dallas.

“He’s been in the league for a long time, and he’s one of the most skilled big men I’ve ever seen ever since I was in high school,” Gibson said. “He has both left and right-hand hooks, a mid-range game – and once he’s in a rhythm like he was today, it’s really hard to stop him.”

Point guard Steve Nash, playing his third game after missing 39 because of a nerve problem in his back, had eight points in 21-plus minutes before departing with 5 minutes left in the third quarter because of ir-ritation in his left leg.

The 18-year veteran and two-time MVP, who celebrated his 40th birthday Friday with a team-high 19 points in a vic-tory at Philadelphia, was hit on the same leg he fractured last season.

“It was just getting worse lately,” Nash said. “But I want-ed to play, especially when we are losing. You want to try to fight through it. I’ve been through that before and I know where it goes, so I didn’t want to risk it. I think it was the smart-est decision to come out.”

Gibson, whose buzzer-beat-ing layup in overtime gave the Bulls a 102-100 victory over the Lakers on Jan. 20 at Chicago, led the Bulls to a 52-46 halftime lead with 16 points. He made his seventh start of the season as Carlos Boozer missed his sec-ond straight game with a left calf strain.

The Bulls, who finished their trip 3-3, opened with a 10-0 run while the Lakers missed their first six shots – including an air ball by Wesley Johnson on a 3-point try from 27 feet. Chicago’s starters outscored Los Angeles’ starters 73-24.

The Russian team jump onto the podium Sunday during the flower ceremony after placing first in the team figure skating competition at the Iceberg Skating Palace during the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.

Hey Vladimir, here’s a gold medal for RussiaSOCHI, Russia – Outside

the Iceberg Skating Palace, urologist Andrei Severyukh-in was as certain about the winner of the team skating competition as he was about the colors of the Russian flag he had just had painted on his face.

“It would be unreal if we don’t win gold tonight,” Severyukhin said.

The first one for the host country came just as pre-dicted, much to the delight of Severyukhin and his daughter, who joined their countrymen in a celebration as raucous as it gets in figure skating as Russia won the gold in the inaugural event.

President Vladimir Putin was on hand to celebrate the first gold of the games he brought to Russia, hugging aging star Evgeni Plushen-ko and his teammates and posing with them for pic-tures. So were players of the

Russian ice-hockey team and other Olympians.

They stood and cheered as Plushenko showed he still had enough left for one last run, setting a modern-day record by medaling in his fourth Olympics at the age of 31. They cheered more as a star in the making in 15-year-old Julia Lipnitskaia put on a dazzling display in the ladies free skating portion of the event.

And they stayed around to toast their new heroes one more time as they took a team victory lap around the arena.

“Ro-ssi-ya, Ro-ssi-ya,” fans chanted, as a country that flopped in figure skating four years ago in Vancouver flexed its muscles before an adoring crowd that provided the perfect home ice advan-tage.

They were certain of victory, certain this would

be the night Russia got the first payoff for the $51 billion Putin spent to put on the Olympics in this aging Black Sea resort town.

“I think it’s the resurrec-tion of the old Soviet skate team,” Philip Shustov of Moscow had said a few hours earlier. “We must win.”

Two nights after an open-ing ceremony that generally received high marks and helped put the focus back on sports from the problems surrounding the games, boisterous fans greeted Plushenko with a roar and roared even louder when he completed a program that added to the lead Russia built on the first night of compe-tition.

But if Plushenko was there to capture old glory, Lipnitskaia showed she is the future with a skate that thrilled the predominantly Russian audience as she won the women’s portion of the team event in a rout.

If the outcome wasn’t quite the lock Severyukh-in predicted, it was all but assured before the night even began. Lipnitskaia was dazzling in her skate, and all the Russian ice dancing team had to do to cinch the medal over second place Canada was to make it on the ice on time.

Elena Ilinykh and Niki-ta Katsalapov did that and more, cementing the rout with a dance that got yet an-other standing ovation from the home crowd, forcing the girls picking up after them to work overtime once again.

Fans streaming into the gleaming new arena were

in a festive mood, carrying small Russian flags and getting their faces painted. Figure skating was dominat-ed by the old Soviet Union and Russia – winning 51 medals in all – but the coun-try slipped in Vancouver, winning just two medals and no gold.

“They were the heroes from our childhood,” said Ev-genii Vorobev, an economist from Siberia now living in Moscow. “I’m not an expert but we may take two more golds in figure skating.”

Diana Hadgerestan, who was given tickets by her company to the games, was hoping to see Russia win gold after watching the country pick up its first medal in speed skating earlier.

“It was my dream to come but it was so difficult,” she said. “We hope our country wins a lot more of them now.”

Romeoville Humane Society volunteer wears multiple hatsBy DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND

In addition to family and work responsibilities, Megan Ziller has a host of duties at the Romeoville Humane Soci-ety.

She is the secretary on the board of directors for the society, as well as the intake coordinator, foster coordina-tor and medical coordinator, caring for up to 100 animals at a time, especially at peak kitten season.

The immensity of these roles might make some peo-ple hide like a cat under a bed. For Ziller, who once hoped to train dolphins and thrives on being busy, this is job satisfac-tion extraordinaire.

“I used to have more jobs,” Ziller said. “But we’ve been blessed with good, hardwork-ing people – about 60 volun-teers – that are able to help us at this point.”

It was Ziller’s husband, Chad Ziller, a lieutenant with the Romeoville Fire Depart-ment, who received a mass email in 2008 from the village of Romeoville about starting a humane society. Chad men-tioned it to Ziller and she at-tended that first meeting.

“At the second meeting, the village manager asked who wanted to be on the board,” Ziller said. “I raised my hand.”

Ziller, who earned a biol-ogy degree in 2004 from the University of Minnesota, has always loved animals and worked jobs that involved an-imals. She’s a former seasonal keeper at both Willowbrook Wildlife Center and Brook-field Zoo.

“After college, I actually got an internship at the Min-nesota Zoo and worked with the dolphins there,” Ziller said. “From the Minneso-ta Zoo I went to the Shedd Aquarium for an internship and then I moved to Brook-field Zoo.”

Ziller took time off work for back surgery. Follow-ing surgery, Ziller and Chad married and wanted to start a family, so returning to the zoo

was not an option for her. The humane society filled Ziller’s need for “something to do.”

She juggles society life while caring for her sons Gar-ret, 3 and Cole, 1, as well as her two dogs and three cats. These are Diesel, a 7-year-old labrador; Mongo, a 5-year-old English mastiff; Chance, a 7-year-old domestic short hair tiger striped tabby; Gracie, 7, a calico; and Squirt, 4, a tux-edo.

Furthermore, Ziller also

helps out with the fami-ly-owned and operated Jan Electric Company in Lyons, which Ziller’s grandfather founded. Those obligations don’t prevent Ziller from run-ning the Romeoville Humane Society as a “tight ship.”

Ziller researched oth-er humane societies to keep her adoption fees competi-tive. She ensures paperwork is complete and accurate, that each animal is spayed, neutered, vaccinated, heart-

worm tested, fecal tested and dewormed. Cats are tested for feline immunodeficiency virus and feline leukemia vi-rus. There’s even a budget for trapping, neutering and then releasing feral cats.

“We try to adopt out as quickly as possible so we can save more lives but we’ll hang onto them as long as needed,” Ziller said. “We’ve had two black male cats for two plus years.”

Fortunately, Ziller said,

generous donors step up with financially taxing cases, such as a rottweiler doberman mix that needed $4,000 worth of surgery on the cruciate liga-ments of both knee caps. Such costs are never passed onto the adoptive parents, Ziller added.

“This is a heartbreaking job for someone who loves an-imals,” Ziller said. “We have to make decisions on eutha-nizing a sick or dying dog. It’s not easy and none of us like doing it but it’s a job we volun-tarily signed up to do. We’ve put a huge chunk of our lives into this. We’re very support-ive of each other.”

The Romeoville Humane Society works closely with both Romeoville and Boling-brook Animal Control, Ziller said. When room is available, the society will occasionally accept an owner surrender-ing animal, especially when circumstances are tight and tough.

Three pets needing homes include Mavis, a 2-year-old pit bull that is crate and house-trained and good with cats, dogs and children; Midnight Poe, a 3-year-old male domes-tic short hair cat, shy, but also good with pets and chil-dren; and Flower, a 3-year-old tortoise, medium long hair cat that does best as the only household pet.

On this particular day, Zill-er has to pick up a puppy for a foster mother, temporarily care for a cat that just was spayed and syringe feed a sec-ond cat that recently arrived at the Romeoville Humane Society in “pretty bad shape.”

“Hopefully, she just needs some TLC to get her over the hump,” Ziller said.

Here she takes a break to snuggle with her feline friend, Geraldine.ABOVE: Mavis, currently in the care of the Romeoville Hu-mane Society, is a lovable, goofy energetic 2-year-old pit bull that loves wearing her pretty pink tutu and will eventually settle down for a good cuddle when she is tuckered out.

Count on success if you count

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Lord Chesterfield, a British politician who led a colorful life and died in 1773, said: “Never seem more learned than the people you are with. Wear your learning like a pocket watch and keep it hidden. Do not pull it out to count the hours, but give the time when you are asked.”

At the bridge table, do not count the minutes; instead, count the points, the winners, the losers. The more counting you do, the more successful you will be.

In this deal, South charges into six hearts. How should he play after West leads the spade king?

South decided that if he need-ed a side-suit finesse to work, it probably would, given West’s opening bid. So he adventur-ously used the Gerber four-club ace-asking convention, then settled into six hearts.

South is missing 15 high-card points. So it is just possible that East has the heart king. And if East has that king, West must hold the club king, and declarer can take all 13 tricks. However, if the heart finesse loses, West will cash a couple of spade tricks.

Suppose, instead, that the club finesse is winning. How many tricks would that provide?

One spade, six hearts, two di-amonds and three clubs – ah, 12.

South should win with his spade ace and play a club to dummy’s jack. Then he should lead the heart queen, tempting East to cover if he has the king. But when East plays low, de-clarer wins with his ace, repeats the club finesse, and discards his two spade losers, one on the club ace and one on the diamond king. Then he concedes one trick to West’s heart king.

Mother feels imprisoned by mentally ill sonDear Abby: My 38-year-old

son is mentally ill and refus-es medication, counseling or any type of help. I’m 63, and he physically and mental-ly abuses me. I had him committed, but he refused to cooperate, so they released him after two weeks. Life after that became worse.

I have no time to myself except when I sleep at night or take a nap. Family and friends are not allowed in the house because they make him uncomfortable. I can’t even open the blinds to let the sun in because “people are watching him.”

I know he needs help desperately, but I don’t know where else to turn. My family tells me to have him committed and not let him back home. I feel guilty about sending him out of my home because I’m afraid of what

he might do or what could happen to him.

I go for counseling once a month, and I have discussed this with my therapist, who says the same thing as my family: “Commit him and throw away the key!” I am so torn. I suffer from depres-sion, and this lifestyle does not help.

I’m planning to move to another state where I have family, and I don’t know what to do with him. I feel like I’m trading one cell for another. Any suggestions would be appreciated. – Loyal Reader In New York

Dear Loyal Reader: Listen to your therapist. If your son

is institutionalized, he will be in a safe environment. The alternative could be that he would become one of the multitude of mentally ill individuals who are living on the street.

If your son is medicated, he might be able to live in a group home, where he could be sheltered and taken care of. With medication, he might be able to have more of a life than you have provided.

You may feel guilty, but you are not responsible for your son’s mental illness. It is very important you are successfully treated for your depression before making the decision to move. Your depression may have been caused because you have become the prisoner of your son’s hallucinations.

Dear Abby: My boyfriend and I have been together for 2

1/2 years, living together for two. He says Valentine’s Day is a made-up holiday to get people to spend money. I told him every holiday is geared toward people spending money.

I find myself feeling angry and hurt I’m not receiving anything for Valentine’s Day. He never buys cards or flowers for me. How do I communicate to him this is important to me without making things worse? – Crav-ing A Little Romance

Dear Craving: Your boy-friend may be cheap, but he also has a point. According to a report on www.npr.org, the celebration of Valentine’s Day started in ancient Rome and contains elements of both Christian and pre-Chris-tian religions. In the third century A.D., two men named Valentine were executed by

the emperor Claudius II in different years on Feb. 14, and a few hundred years later, a pope (Gelasius I) combined St. Valentine’s Day with Lupercalia, a fertility feast, to replace the pagan ritual. The holiday didn’t become romanticized until the Renaissance.

That said, allow me to point out there are few things more unpleasant than feeling forced to give someone a gift. If you have already discussed this with your boyfriend and he’s still resistant, then instead of focusing on what you’re not getting out of this relationship, try focusing on what you are getting. It may help you to feel less deprived.

DEAR ABBY

Change diet and get exercise to lower cholesterolDear Dr. K: My cholesterol

has always been fine, but recently it’s started to rise, though not high enough for medication. What should I do?

Dear Reader: There are several ways you can lower your cholesterol besides taking medicine. They involve cholesterol-friendly lifestyle changes: dietary modifications and regular exercise.

Start with your diet. First, let’s consider fats. The types of fat you eat are as important as the amounts you eat. Most animal and dairy fats are full of unhealthy saturated fats, which raise cholesterol levels.

In fact, consuming foods with saturated fat will raise your blood levels of choles-terol more than consuming foods high in cholesterol itself (interestingly, cholesterol also is a type of fat). Saturated fats stimulate your liver to produce more cholesterol, and your liver is the main source of cholesterol in your body.

Saturated fats are found mostly in animal products, such as meat, milk and eggs. A few vegetable oils, such as palm oil, coconut oil and cocoa butter, contain saturated fats.

Trans fats are even worse

and should be avoided com-pletely. Trans fats raise LDL (bad) cholesterol and lower HDL (good) cholesterol. It’s a double whammy. Trans fats can be found in hard (stick) margarines and processed cakes, biscuits, cookies and a range of other products. The Food and Drug Administration is likely to ban trans fats in the near future.

On the other hand, most vegetable fats (oils) are made up of unsaturated (polyunsat-urated and monounsaturated) fats that are healthy for your heart. You can find these healthier fats in fish as well as nuts, seeds, vegetables and most vegetable oils. Opt for these whenever possible. They don’t raise your blood choles-terol levels.

Two more dietary changes also can help. First, increase your intake of soluble dietary fiber. Oat bran, barley, nuts, seeds, beans and lentils are all good sources. Second, increase your consumption of plant ste-

rols and stanols. These natural-ly occurring plant compounds limit the amount of cholesterol your body can absorb. You can find sterol- and stanol-enriched orange juice, cereals and mar-garine spreads in the grocery store.

The other key lifestyle change is regular exercise, which improves cholesterol levels and protects against car-diovascular disease. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moder-ate-intensity physical activity most days of the week.

It sounds as if you’d prefer not to take cholesterol med-icines, but there’s some new information you should know. The statins, medicines that lower cholesterol, have been discovered to protect against heart disease even in people with normal cholesterol levels. So while you absolutely should consider lifestyle changes first to lower your cholesterol, check with your doctor about whether you also might benefit from statins.
