JOLIET – Kathleen Conrad testi-fied Monday that she still loves theson who attacked her with a baseballbat two years ago and left her for dead.

But Joseph P. Conrad of Plainfield,won’t be allowed to come home afterserving the six-year prison sentencehe received, his mother said at hissentencing hearing.

Joseph Conrad, now 22, pleadedguilty to aggravated domestic batteryin exchange for an attempted murdercharge being dropped.

He called the attack on his mother“the worst decision I’ve ever made inmy entire life” in a statement to thejudge before he was sentenced.

Kathleen Conrad said she is “al-most 100 percent” physically recov-ered from the attack, but is “still veryemotional.” She and her husbandsent the state’s attorney a letter ask-ing their son receive as much lenien-cy as possible and supported the pleadeal.

Joseph Conrad hit his mother inthe head and hands with a baseballbat several times, left the house to runerrands, and returned to stage a pho-ny crime scene before calling authori-ties, according to police accounts.

It was not Joseph’s first violent ep-isode at home, his mother testified.

Kathleen Conrad told Judge CarlaAlessio-Policandriotes her son hadbeen violent to her and her 15-year-old daughter before the bat attack,and he would not be allowed to livein their home after his release fromprison.

“I do love my son and this is veryhard for me to be sitting here,” Kath-leen Conrad said before leaving thecourtroom.

Joseph Conrad did not look at hisother relatives who remained whenmaking a statement before he wassentenced. He did not ask the judgefor any phone calls or contact visitsafter he was sentenced.

“Other offenders don’t see theharm they cause to strangers. Youknow the pain you have caused ...that you can see in your ongoing re-lationships with your family,” Ales-sio-Policandriotes said. “You’ll haveto ask for forgiveness ... if they havethe ability to forgive you.”

On Dec. 5, 2011, Joseph Conradhadn’t cleaned up the bathroom af-ter shaving and was woken up by hisparents to be told his cellphone andcar keys would be taken away, policesaid.

When his father left for work andhis mother took a shower, Conrad gotan aluminum baseball bat from thegarage of their Hastings Drive homeand waited at the bottom of the stairs

as she got dressed and came down.Detectives said Conrad hit the then-43-year-old woman several times inthe head and hands, then took a show-er and used tissues to wipe the bloodfrom the bat.

Conrad pretended to be his moth-er to respond to text messages his fa-ther sent asking how he’d reacted tohaving his phone taken away beforehe drove to a subdivision off Route59 and threw the bloody tissues intoa drain. He went to a dental appoint-ment, dropped off some newsletters ata restaurant and got gas for his car be-fore he came home again, police said.

Conrad went outside to smash awindow with the bat, threw away thescreen and called 911. Kathleen Con-rad was taken to Saint Joseph Medi-cal Center in critical condition where“doctors saved her life,” AssistantWill County State’s Attorney ChrisMessina said.

Joseph Conrad told police that hereturned home to find his mother hadbeen beaten. But police said neigh-bors contradicted Conrad’s answersabout where cars were parked andwhen the garage door was closed, andConrad soon confessed to the attack.

At the time of his arrest Conradhad nearly completed an associate de-gree at Joliet Junior College wherehe was studying criminal justice andwas working as a soccer referee.

JOLIET – Another round ofsubzero temperatures is cre-ating scenes familiar from thedeep freeze earlier this month.

About 20 people came to theMorningStar Mission in Jolietto retreat from the cold duringthe day. The homeless shelterwas expecting more during thenight. Fifteen people called bymid-afternoon inquiring aboutopen spots for Monday night,said Sandra Perzee, Morning-Star Mission business manager.

“They’re glad to get out of thecold when they get through thedoors,” she said about the peoplewho came to the shelter.

Temperatures Tuesday inWill County are expected torange between zero to four de-grees above zero, but wind chillsstill will be as low as 25 to 35below zero, according to the Na-tional Weather Service.

Temperatures at night areexpected to drop as low as 5 to9 degrees below zero with windchills sinking to 15 to 25 belowzero.

Every public school districtin Will County was closed Mon-day and almost all had by 6 p.m.Monday indicated they would beclosed Tuesday, as well.

State, county and city offi-cials in northern Illinois arewarning people to take extracaution as they travel outsideduring the cold weather. Statepolice officials issued a weath-er advisory Monday saying theyare expecting dangerously lowtemperatures, high winds andpossible whiteout conditions.

Deputies with the Will Coun-ty Sheriff’s Office are watching

for abandoned vehicles and mak-ing sure people aren’t stranded,office spokeswoman Kathy Hoff-meyer said.

“We’re advising people tostay off the roads, stay home andstay warm,” she said.

Two weather-related acci-dents happened Sunday in thePlainfield and Manhattan town-ships, she said. No one was fatal-ly injured in either accident butone driver had to be taken to Sil-ver Cross Hospital for injuriesafter being struck by a vehiclethat lost control because of snowon roadways.

Silver Cross Hospital emer-gency departments in New Le-nox and Homer Glen received15 people over the weekend andMonday for weather-related in-juries, marketing director Tracy

Simons said. Some of the inju-ries were induced from slips,falls, a car accident and chestpain induced from shovelingsnow, she said.

Some public offices in WillCounty stayed open despite thecold weather.

Will County government of-fices were open Monday andthere was no indication theywould be closed Tuesday, countycommunications director Anas-tasia Tuskey wrote in an email.The Will County Courthousewas open Monday and court staffanticipate it still will be openTuesday.

“It’s very rare that we close,”Circuit Clerk Chief Deputy

Chuck Squires said.Will County Emergency Man-

agement Agency officials issueda listing of close to 50 warmingshelters available throughoutthe county. Some of them includethe police station in Plainfield,Troy Township CommunityCenter in Shorewood and Three

Rivers Library in Channahon.Joliet city workers were out-

side Sunday to wipe away snowfrom roadways, said Jim Trizna,the city’s public works director.So far they’ve been combatingsnowdrifts on roadways in thesouth and west side of the city,he said.

Trizna said the city was notspreading salt on the roads be-cause it would be ineffectivewith the temperatures so low.However, city workers may startsalting the roads during the mid-dle of Tuesday and Wednesday,he said.

“Obviously, this winter hasbeen a long tough winter so far,”he said.

JOLIET – School dis-tricts may have to extendthe academic year if thesnow days keep piling up– which means students en-joying days off now couldfind the last day of schoolcoming later in May orJune than expected.

Several Will Countyschool districts are close tousing up emergency daysafter sub-zero weatherconditions caused many totake four snow days thismonth alone. Many localdistricts also aren’t hold-ing classes Tuesday.

Counting this week’sclosings, Lincoln-WayHigh School District 210will have used four of itsfive emergency days. It’sthe most snow days thatStacy Holland, districtcommunity relations direc-tor, can remember in her22 years with the district.

“We’ve just hadn’t hadthe extreme cold here likethis since I’ve been work-ing here,” she said.

If school districts ex-haust five of the emergencydays state officials requirethem to build into schoolcalendars, they may haveto apply for Act of God Daysif more days off are needed.

Act of God Days are usedwhen school districts arefaced with conditions thatthreaten the health andsafety of students, accord-ing to the Illinois StateBoard of Education.

The days must be ap-proved by the regional su-perintendent and state su-

perintendent of education.The waiver reduces thenumber of required stu-dent attendance days in anacademic year but do notnegatively affect generalstate aid.

Joliet Public School Dis-trict 86 officials canceledclasses because they didn’t

want students standing atbus stops during the coldweather. About 12,000 stu-dents attend the school dis-trict and 74 percent of themuse bus transportation, dis-trict spokeswoman SandyZalewski said.

The same was true forPlainfield School District202, which has now usedfour of its emergency daysand may push the last dayof classes to May 30, dis-trict community relationsdirector Tom Hernandezsaid.

District 202 has about28,000 students and 20,000of them take the bus. Her-nandez said district offi-cials didn’t want studentswaiting for buses thatcould be delayed because ofthe weather.

Some parents are sup-portive of school closingsduring bad weather while

others are not, he said. Butdistrict administrationshave to think about thesafety of students.

School closings mayspell a longer school year.Joliet School District 86also is looking at the pos-sibility of pushing back theend of the academic year.

Three snow days thisyear has meant lost class-room time for juniors withthe Lockport High SchoolDistrict 205 who have tostudy for the ACT andPrairie State AchievementExamination in April, Dis-trict Superintendent ToddWernet said.

District officials arelooking to amend theirschool calendar with theschool year ending on May29 but still have to considerhow it will affect gradua-tion dates and exam peri-ods, he said.

The school will receive$4,000 for the greenhouseproject, which is funded byan American Capital grantand will grow healthy fruitsand vegetables to promotestudents’ lifestyle changes.

Gilles was selected as oneof five national ambassadorsfor the “Fuel to Play 60” pro-gram in June, and partici-pated in a leadership sum-

mit through the program.She was honored in severalevents during the past sixmonths and got to meetmembers of the ChicagoBears along with NFL Com-

missioner Roger Goodell.“You have a very intel-

ligent student,” HeritageGrove Principal ShannonMiller said about Gilles.“She definitely is a role

model to our students here.They all look up to her.”

A straight-A student,Gilles is an advocate forreducing childhood obesityand changing the meal pat-terns of American youth.She eats healthy and partic-ipates in horseback riding,softball, track and crosscountry.

Gilles and Miller workedtogether with AmericanCapital to come up withplans for the greenhouse.

Gilles will join six othernational project winnersin New York on Tuesdayand meet Carla Hall, a tele-

vision personality knownfor her role as a chef-hoston NBC’s television show,“The Chew.”

“We’re going to talkabout how to go about mak-ing the application a reali-ty in school,” Gilles said,marking the two-day trip asa good opportunity to learnentrepreneurial skills andfigure out what the nextstep is to build the green-house.

People attending theTaste of Joliet this summerwould be allowed to bringtheir guns – but not theircoolers – under legislationproposed last week.

The proposal aims toloosen up restrictionsin the state’s new con-cealed-carry law.

As it stands now, Illi-nois’ concealed-carry lawoutlines a long list of pro-hibited places, includingpublic gatherings and spe-cial events. That includestypical summer festivalsheld throughout the area,such as the Taste of Joliet,which sees up to 60,000 at-tendees over a three-dayperiod.

Senate Bill 2653, spon-sored by state Sen. GaryForby, a downstate Dem-ocrat, throws out that re-striction, and would allowa person with a valid per-mit to carry a weapon intoa neighborhood street festi-val, for example.

It’s unclear whethereither bill has enough sup-port to pass in the IllinoisHouse or Senate.

P r o p o n e n t s o f t h echanges say the restrictionis one of several caveats inthe original bill that unin-tentionally turns law-abid-ing gun owners into crim-inals, while opponentssay these restrictions arein place to promote public

safety.Glen Marcum, president

of the Joliet Park DistrictBoard, which spearheadsthe annual Taste festival,said Friday he’s “110 per-cent” against allowingguns at the June event.

“I just don’t feel comfort-able mixing large crowds,alcohol, a family atmo-sphere and guns,” Marcumsaid. “I’m concerned that inthe kind of hustle-and-bus-tle atmosphere, people tendto get irritated and temperscould fly.”

While the law current-ly prohibits people underthe influence of alcoholfrom carrying, Marcumargued Joliet police cannotlogistically keep watch ofevery gun-carrying personattending the festival. Thethree-day festival could seeup to 20,000 people eachday, he said.

“We’ve had very littletrouble in the three yearsI’ve been on the board.Maybe one little fight,” hesaid. “The Joliet police areon top of it. How can theymake sure that someonecarrying is not drinking?

I don’t know how they’dmonitor that.”

Todd Vandermyde,state lobbyist for the Na-tional Rifle Association,argued that the long list ofprohibited places is consid-erably too restrictive.

“The people that don’tlike people carrying fire-arms in public, their wholenotion is they don’t wantguns where there’s a groupof people. That kind of ne-gates the whole purpose,”he said.

State Rep. LawrenceWalsh Jr., D-Joliet, whovoted yes on gun legisla-tion in July, said he wouldlike to see the state’s firstconcealed-carry law workits way through the systembefore lawmakers attemptany drastic changes.

“My take on it is, wepassed concealed carry. Ittook us umpteen years toget there. The first permithasn’t even been issuedyet,” he said. “Let’s get thepermits out there and seehow it works and then if weneed to make adjustmentstwo, three years down theroad, let’s do it.”

Old prison walls stillmake an impressionStill no answers on how to put oldJoliet Correctional Center back to useBy LAUREN LEONE–[email protected]

JOLIET – Shatteredwindows, peeling paint andcrumbling drywall aside,the rapidly deteriorating156-year-old Joliet prison isworth saving.

So says Gregory Peer-bolte, executive director ofthe Joliet Area HistoricalMuseum, who got his first,rare glimpse inside theshuttered facility during atwo-hour tour Friday withcity and state officials.

The group is looking fora new use for the vacantprison. There were mixedreviews, as Joliet’s newcity manager said the placelooked worse than he ex-pected.

But Peerbolte was awe-struck by the neo-Gothicguard towers and 20-foot-high limestone walls.

“The Joliet limestone. Itpractically glows out there,”Peerbolte said. “I know it’snot a pleasant place or aplace where anyone wouldhope to spend an extendedamount of time, but withthe snow and the limestone,it was very striking.”

The prison, whichopened in the 1850s, drawsvisitors from around theworld despite being inac-cessible to the public, hesaid. The prison is famousfor its appearance in the1980 film “The Blues Broth-ers,” but more recentlyits collapsing ceilings andrusted cell bars.

“When people show up[at the museum] they ask,

‘How can we get out there?Can we get in the building?How can we see it?’ It hap-pens a lot, way more oftenthan people think,” Peer-bolte said. “It’s the one thingwe’re consistently askedabout the most in terms ofother sites in Joliet, but noone can go inside it.”

Kendall Jackson, thecity’s director of planningand economic development,said there are no quick-and-easy answers to addressthe building’s structuralissues.

Officials can’t waitmuch longer to redevelopthe shuttered site into atourism magnet, he said,because the longer theywait, the more dollars it’sgoing to take.

And money is the onething Illinois and the city ofJoliet don’t have on hand,he said.

Despite on-and-off talksof redeveloping the prison,the lack of money, alongwith a $3.8 million pricetag required just to stabi-lize the complex, has placedthings at a standstill.

Jim Hock, who becamecity manager in November,had previously suggestedthe price of repairs, whichaddresses structural issueswithin all seven buildingsat the Collins Street prison,could be scaled back if onlycertain buildings were re-stored.

Hock also got his firstlook Friday inside the state-owned prison. Hock said hewas “disappointed” in theamount of damage, adding

he had watched a videotapebefore touring the prison,which showed the buildlingabout the time it was shut-tered in 2002.

“It’s pretty rundownnow,” he said. “Had Iwalked in not knowingwhat to expect, it wouldhave been easier to take. ...The roof is leaking in maincellblock. There was ice inthe floor. Paint chips fallingfrom the ceiling.”

State Sen. Pat McGuire,D-Joliet, said Friday’s tourfocused on the Joliet Cor-rectional Center’s admin-istrative building and itsadjacent cellblock, both ofwhich have suffered dam-age over the years but havethe most tourism potential.

Developing the site intoa tourist attraction is theultimate goal, but basic en-vironmental concerns mustfirst be addressed, he said.Soil samples were takenFriday, he said, noting aprevious report by the Illi-nois Environmental Protec-tion Agency found elevatedlevels of metals in select ar-eas where prison industriesonce operated.

Everyone is still verymuch in the planning stag-es, McGuire said.

“Given the state of thestate’s finances, seeking astate appropriate to reha-bilitate the Collins Streetprison would be a tough sellin Springfield and here athome,” he said.

Whoever takes over theprison could pursue federalor state grants to help withcosts, he said.

WILL COUNTY – Thenumber of heroin deathsin 2013 was down substan-tially from a record highthe year before.

Will County CoronerPatrick K. O’Neil an-nounced Monday thattoxicology results show 35fatal heroin overdoses oc-curred 2013, compared to53 in 2012.

The number of deathsare still alarming, but thedrop gives some hope tothose trying to reverse thegrowing use of heroin.

Will County averagedone heroin death annual-ly throughout the 90s, butthe problem has grown al-most exponentially sincethen. There were fivedeaths in 2000. Fifteen in2005. Twenty-six in 2010.Thirty in 2011.

“While [last year’s]number represents 35

families whose lives havebeen forever changed atthe loss of a family mem-ber, I am encouraged bythis change in the trend,”O’Neil said.

“It’s difficult to theo-rize what caused this de-crease, but people knowit’s a problem. It doesn’tmatter where I go, peo-ple ask about the heroinproblem. We’re getting theword out,” O’Neil said.

There were no suspect-ed heroin deaths this yearas of Monday morning,but despite the positivetrend, O’Neil said the lead-

ers behind Will CountyHeroin Education Leadsto Preventative Solutions,or HELPS, have no plansto let up.

“It’s still a top con-cern,” he said.

HELPS was formed byO’Neil, Will County Exec-utive Larry Walsh, State’sAttorney James Glasgow,Sheriff Paul Kaupas andanti-heroin activist JohnRoberts in 2010 to combatthe epidemic.

“We have held count-less forums in communi-ties across Will Countyto raise awareness to the

physical, mental, socialand legal ramifications ofheroin use,” Walsh saidin a statement. “I am ex-tremely proud of the part-nerships we have createdto spread this importantmessage. We have met somany families who havebeen touched by herointhat we know our effortshave not been in vain.”

Walsh also noted a part-nership with the RobertCrown Center for HealthEducation that is in thesecond year of a pilot her-oin prevention programat Joliet Township HighSchools and Troy MiddleSchools.

“We will not rest untilwe have driven heroin outof Will County,” Walshsaid. “Our greatest weap-on against this epidemicis to educate people aboutthe effects of heroin.”

T h e a n n u a l h e r o -in community forum isscheduled for May 17.

Georgiaman sentencedformortgage scheme


CHICAGO – A Georgiaman who bilked churchesand small businesses outof $225,000 while promis-ing to arrange mortgageloans – including one fora property in Shorewood– has been sentenced tofederal prison.

Jamal E. Lawson, 44,

was sentenced last weekto 52 months in pris-on and ordered to pay$227,252 in restitution,according to the U.S. At-torney’s office.

One of the victims,a Sauk Village minis-ter, sent Lawson $3,950to guarantee a $742,000loan that would cover thepurchase of the formerchurch at 114 Channahon

St. in Shorewood, the U.S.Attorney’s office said.

Between June 2009 andDecember 2010, Lawson,a Duluth, Ga., residentwho previously lived inDayton, Ohio, offeredto provide loans to pas-tors of 20 churches anda dozen small business-es in Illinois, Georgia,New Jersey, North Car-olina, Ohio, Oregon and

Virginia.Instead of funding

the total of $600 millionin loans he’d promised,Lawson used the advancefees he was wired to payfor clothing, cars, foodand travel, according tocourt records.

Lawson was foundguilty on three counts ofwire fraud after a two-week trial in August.

One victim wanted to buy Shorewood church

“While [last year’s] number represent 35 fami-

lies whose lives have been forever changed at

the loss of a family member, I am encouraged

by this change in the trend.”

Sundogmakes its wayover horizonMonday

By JESSICA [email protected]

MORRIS – In ancientmythology and history,they were thought to bebad omens, but the “sun-dogs” that lit up the skyMonday were welcomedby the several local resi-dents who saw them.

“This morning when Igot up to drink my coffee,I saw the top of it comingover the horizon,” CoalCity resident Dave Nealsaid Monday. “It’s one ofthose natural phenome-nons that you really enjoyseeing.”

A sundog – scientifical-ly known as a parhelion– is a natural atmospher-

ic phenomenon. It is char-acterized by brightly col-ored spots showing on thecircumference of a rain-bow-colored sun halo thatforms as a result of sun-light being refracted by icecrystals, according to theNational Weather Service.

Sundogs were seenacross northern Illinois onMonday morning becauseof low temperatures, blow-ing snow and scatteredcloud cover.

“I’d heard about them,but I hadn’t seen one be-fore,” said Morris resi-dent Jon Erickson, whosnapped a photo of a sundog in Morris on Monday.“It was really neat.”

Both Erickson and Neal

said they watched the sun-dog for about 40 minutesbefore it disappeared.

The origin of the term“sundog” is unclear, ac-cording to Oxford EnglishDictionary, but accordingto the History Channel, theearliest depiction of theunusual weather event canbe traced to April 20, 1535when a Swedish oil-paint-ing titled “The Sun DogPainting” was created.

The Swedish inter-pretted the sundog as abad omen from the Gods,marking the God’s displea-sure with their currentking.

Today, sundogs can beseen in every part of theworld in every season, but

are more prevalent andstriking in the colder tem-peratures.

“They are not uncom-mon in the winter, butusually occur when tem-peratures are low causingice crystal to form in theair,” said Amy Seeley, me-teorologist for the Nation-al Weather Service.

Sundogs were seen byIllinois residents earlierthis month on Jan. 6 whenthe first wave of cold tem-peratures hit the area.

“I saw one last time itwas so cold, but I didn’thave my camera,” Nealsaid. “This time, I hadenough time to drink mycoffee and enjoy the sun-rise.”

Morris resident Jon Erickson took photos of a sundog seen in Morris on Monday morning. This shot was off the Illinois River.

NATION&WORLD

By RAPHAEL SATTERThe Associated Press

L O N D O N – D o c u -ments leaked by formerNSA contractor EdwardSnowden suggest thatspy agencies have a pow-erful ally in Angry Birdsand a host of other appsinstalled on smartphonesacross the globe.

The documents, pub-lished Monday by TheNew York Times, theGuardian, and ProPubli-ca, suggest that the map-ping, gaming and socialnetworking apps whichare a common feature ofthe world’s estimated 1billion smartphones canfeed America’s NationalSecurity Agency and Brit-ain’s GCHQ with hugeamounts of personal data,

including location infor-mation and details suchas political affiliation orsexual orientation.

The size and scope ofthe program aren’t pub-licly known, but the re-ports suggest that U.S.and British intelligenceeasily get routine accessto data generated by appssuch as the Angry Birdsgame franchise or theGoogle Maps navigationservice.

The joint spying pro-gram “effectively meansthat anyone using GoogleMaps on a smartphone isworking in support of aGCHQ system,” one 2008document from the Brit-ish eavesdropping agencyis quoted as saying.

Another document – ahand-drawn picture of a

smirking fairy conjuringup a tottering pile of pa-pers over a table marked“leave traffic here” – sug-gests that gathering thedata doesn’t take mucheffort.

The NSA did not di-rectly comment on thereports but said in a state-ment Monday the com-munications of those whowere not “valid foreignintelligence targets” werenot of interest to the spyagency.

“Any implication thatNSA’s foreign intelligencecollection is focused onthe smartphone or socialmedia communicationsof everyday Americans isnot true,” the statementsaid. “We collect onlythose communicationsthat we are authorized

by law to collect for validforeign intelligence andcounterintelligence pur-poses – regardless of thetechnical means used bythe targets.”

GCHQ said it did notcomment on intelligencematters, but insisted thatall of its activity was “au-thorized, necessary andproportionate.”

Intelligence agencies’interest in mobile phonesand the networks they runon has been documentedin several of Snowden’sprevious disclosures, butthe focus on apps showshow everyday, innocu-ous-looking pieces of soft-ware can be turned intoinstruments of espionage.

Angry Birds, an ad-dictive birds-versus-pigsgame which has been

downloaded more than1.7 billion times world-wide, was one of the mosteye-catching examples.

The Times and Pro-Publica said a 2012 Brit-ish intelligence reportlaid out how to extractAngry Bird users’ infor-mation from phones run-ning the Android operat-ing system.

Another document, a14-page-long NSA slide-show published to theWeb, listed a host of oth-er mobile apps, includingthose made by social net-working giant Facebook,photo sharing site Flickr,and the film-orientedFlixster.

It wasn’t clear precise-ly what information canbe extracted from whichapps, but one of the slides

gave the example of a userwho uploaded a photo us-ing a social media app.

U n d e r t h e w o r d s ,“Golden Nugget!” it saidthat the data generatedby the app could be ex-amined to determine aphone’s settings, where itconnected to, which web-sites it had visited, whichdocuments it had down-loaded, and who its users’friends were.

One of the documentssaid that apps could evenbe mined for informationabout users’ politicalalignment or sexual ori-entation.

Google Inc. and RovioEntertainment Ltd., themaker of Angry Birds, didnot immediately returnmessages seeking com-ment on the reports.

Giffords: ‘Too dangerous to wait’ on gun controlBy STEVE PEOPLESThe Associated Press

BOSTON – On the eve ofPresident Barack Obama’sState of the Union address,former Arizona Rep. Gab-by Giffords is challengingWashington leaders not toignore gun violence.

The former Demo -cratic congresswoman isfeatured in a new TV adcampaign set to air imme-diately before and afterthe president’s speech. Inthe ad, Giffords faces thecamera and says, “Con-gress is afraid of the gunlobby.”

“Tell Washington it’stoo dangerous to wait,”she says in a slightly

slurred voice.Giffords, 43, still is re-

covering from a brain in-jury suffered in 2011 whena mentally ill man shother in the head as she metwith constituents outsidean Arizona shopping cen-ter. Six people were killedin the attack.

Obama is not expect-ed to make any new guncontrol push in this year’sspeech after making it theemotional highlight of lastyear’s address.

Giffords was first ladyMichelle Obama’s guestlast year, when the presi-dent repeatedly declaredthat victims of gun vi-olence – Giffords andNewtown, Conn., school

children among them –deserved a congressionalvote on legislation expand-ing background checks forgun sales.Such a pro-posal wassubsequent-l y v o t e ddown in theDemocrat -ic-led Sen-ate and nev-er broughtto a vote inthe Repub-l i c a n - c o n -trolled House.

In the new ad, Giffordssays that 9 out 10 Ameri-cans support backgroundchecks.

“They make it harder

for criminals and the men-tally ill to get guns,” shesays.

The ad is part of a na-tional cable advertisingcampaign set to run onCNN and MSNBC beforeand after the speech. It’sbeing paid for by Ameri-cans for Responsible Solu-tions, the group Giffordsfounded with her hus-band, retired NASA spaceshuttle commander MarkKelly. The organizationhas raised tens of millionsof dollars to help influencethe gun control debateahead of the 2014 midtermelections.

As part of a larger ef-fort to work around Con-gress, Giffords and Kelly

are scheduled to appearbefore the WashingtonState legislature Tuesday,hours before Obama’sspeech. They plan to testi-fy in favor of a state initia-tive to expand backgroundchecks – just the secondtime Giffords has testifiedbefore a legislative panelsince her shooting.

White House spokes-man Jay Carney on Mon-day declined to commenton whether the presidentwould address gun controlin his speech, but said,“The president’s commit-ment to taking commonsense steps to reduce gunviolence remains verystrong.”

Carney said Obama

“is very disappointedby Congress’ failure toheed the will of the over-whelming majority of theAmerican people in bluestates and red states andpurple states to expandbackground checks. Buthe committed then and heremains committed nowto taking action where hecan to reducing gun vio-lence.”

Kelly called the inac-tion on Capitol Hill “re-markable.”

“Congress has donenothing because manypoliticians are listeningto the gun lobby whenthey should be listeningto their constituents,” hesaid.

Global stock

declines continue



Page 16

By BERNARD CONDONand PAUL WISEMANThe Associated Press

NEW YORK – Shakyeconomies and plungingcurrencies in the devel-oping world are fuelinga global sell-off in stocks.

Fearful investors onMonday pushed priceslower across Asia and Eu-rope, though many of thedrops weren’t as steep aslast week. In the U.S. andin other rich countries,where economies arehealthier, investors alsoretreated, but the sellingwas not as fierce.

The Dow Jones indus-trial average slipped 41.23points, or 0.26 percent, to15,837.88. The Standard &Poor’s 500 index fell 8.73points, or 0.5 percent, to1,781.56. The tech-heavyNasdaq was down themost, falling 44.56 points,or 1.1 percent, to 4,083.61.

The selling started inAsia, with major indexesin both Hong Kong andTokyo down more than2 percent, then spread toEurope and the U.S., asstocks slipped across theboard, though much lessthan feared given the bigdeclines on Friday.

Jack Ablin, chief in-vestment officer at BMOPrivate Bank, said hewas encouraged that theU.S. losses were modest.

“We have an accel-erating economy, lowinflation and accommo-dative monetary policy,”he said. “The world isn’tfalling apart.”

The market turbu-lence was set off lastweek by a report fromChina on a downturn in

its manufacturing, moreevidence that the world’ssecond-largest economyis slowing. That’s a bigproblem for Brazil, SouthAfrica and other develop-ing countries that havecome to depend on ex-ports to that country.

Adding to the trou-bles: The decision bythe U.S. Federal Reservelast month to scale backits stimulus for the U.S.economy, which hashelped keep interest rateslow. Money that hadflooded emerging mar-kets looking for higherreturns outside the U.S.has begun to come backnow that rates may rise,battering those markets.

Despite the wide-spread stock sellingMonday, experts say thetroubles in China andelsewhere in the develop-ing world are unlikely toderail a global economicrecovery that appears tobe gaining momentum.Growth in the world’swealthy economies isexpected to pick up theslack.

The InternationalMonetary Fund expectsthe global economy togrow 3.7 percent thisyear, up from 3 percentin 2013, carried along byfaster growth in the Unit-ed States and the 17 coun-tries that use the euro.The IMF expects the Chi-na’s growth to deceleratefrom 7.7 percent last yearto 7.5 percent in 2014.

“A lot of growth isshifting back to the de-veloped world,” said Jen-nifer Lee, senior econ-omist at BMO CapitalMarkets.

By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABERand JOSH BOAKThe Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Fromthe White House to the Vat-ican to the business elitein Davos, Switzerland, oneissue keeps seizing theagenda: the growing gapbetween the very wealthyand everyone else.

It’s “the defining chal-lenge of our time,” saidPresident Barack Obama,who will spotlight theissue in his State of theUnion address Tuesdaynight. A Gallup poll findstwo-thirds of Americansare unhappy with thenation’s distribution ofwealth. Experts say it maybe slowing the economy.

Why has the issue sud-denly galvanized atten-tion? Here are questionsand answers about thewealth gap – what it is andwhy it matters.

Q. Hasn’t there alwaysbeen a wide gulf betweenthe richest people and thepoorest?

A. Yes. What’s new isthe widening gap betweenthe wealthiest and every-one else. Three decadesago, Americans’ incometended to grow at roughlysimilar rates, no matterhow much you made. Butsince roughly 1980, in-come has grown most forthe top earners. For thepoorest 20 percent of fami-lies, it’s dropped. Incomesfor the highest-earning1 percent of Americanssoared 31 percent from2009 through 2012, afteradjusting for inflation,according to data com-piled by Emmanuel Saez,an economist at Univer-sity of California, Berke-ley. For the rest of us, it

inched up an average of0.4 percent. In 17 of 22 de-veloped countries, incomedisparity widened in thepast two decades, accord-ing to the Organizationfor Economic Cooperationand Development.

Q. So who are the top 1percent in income?

A. They’re bankers,lawyers, hedge fund man-agers, founders of suc-cessful companies, enter-tainers, senior managersand others. One trend:Corporate executives,doctors, and farmersmade up smaller sharesof the top 1 percent in2005 than in 1979. By con-trast, the proportion ofthe wealthiest who workin the financial and realestate industries has dou-bled. The top 1 percentearned at least $394,000 in2012. Through most of thepost-World War II era, thetop 1 percent earned about10 percent of all income.By 2007, that figure hadjumped to 23.5 percent,

the most since 1928. As of2012, it was 22.5 percent.

Q. How has the middleclass fared?

A. Not well. Medianhousehold income peak-ed in 1999 at $56,080, ad-justed for inflation. It fellto $51,017 by 2012. Thepercentage of Americanhouseholds with incomewithin 50 percent of themedian – one way of mea-suring the middle class –fell from 50 percent in 1970to 42 percent in 2010.

Q. Does it matter if somepeople are much richer thanothers?

A. Most economists saysome inequality is neededto reward hard work, tal-ent and innovation. Buta wealth gap that’s toowide is usually unhealthy.It can slow economicgrowth, in part becausericher Americans savemore of their income thando others. Pay concentrat-ed at the top is less likelyto be spent.

It also can trigger reck-

less borrowing. Beforethe 2008 financial crisis,middle class householdsstruggled to keep up theirspending even as theirpay stagnated. To do so,they piled up debt. Swell-ing debt helped inflate thehousing bubble and ignitethe financial crisis. Ex-perts note that the GreatDepression and the GreatRecession were both pre-ceded by surging incomegaps and heedless borrow-ing by middle class Amer-icans.

Q. Has it become harderfor someone born poor tobecome rich?

A. The evidence ismixed. Countries thathave more equal incomedistributions, such asSweden and other Scandi-navian countries, tend toenjoy more social mobil-ity. But a study releasedlast week found that theUnited States isn’t anyless mobile than it wasin the 1970s. A child bornin the poorest 20 percentof families in 1986 had a 9percent chance of reach-ing the top 20 percent asan adult, the study found– roughly the same oddsas in 1971.

Other research hasshown that the UnitedStates isn’t as sociallymobile as once thought.In a study of 22 countries,economist Miles Corakof the University of Otta-wa found that the UnitedStates ranked 15th in so-cial mobility. Only Italyand the Britain amongwealthy countries rankedlower. By some measures,children in the UnitedStates are as likely toinherit their parents’economic status as theirheight.

Area players findingniche in the big leagues

The Pitch & Hit Club ofChicago held its 68th annu-al banquet Sunday night inLombard.

The 65th annualreunion and dinner ofthe Old Timers BaseballAssociation of Will Countyis scheduled for Thursdaynight at the Holiday Inn atInterstate 80 and LarkinAvenue. Denny McLain,baseball’s last 30-gamewinner, will speak.

The Cubs and White Soxhave had their winter fanconventions the past twoweekends.

All this activity saysspring training is aroundthe corner. That’s alwaysa pleasant thought in thisbaseball hotbed. Seldomwill an area this sizeproduce as many majorleaguers as the Joliet areahas.

In recent years, how-ever, we hit a lull. Notmuch had been happening.But that was before thearrival of Cincinnati Redsleft-handed pitcher TonyCingrani (Lincoln-WayCentral) and WashingtonNationals right-handerTanner Roark (Wilm-ington). We are back inbusiness.

Cingrani, 24, postedincredible numbers ina relatively brief minorleague career. He madehis major league debut inSeptember 2012 and spent agood portion of 2013 in theReds’ starting rotation.

In 23 games, including18 starts, Cingrani fin-ished 7-4 with a 2.92 ERA.He worked 104⅔ inningsand struck out 120 whilewalking 43. About the onlydownside were the twostints on the disabled listbecause of back spasmsover the last month and ahalf of the season.

Cingrani got his oppor-tunity to join the rotationin part because of JohnnyCueto’s injury-plagued sea-son. Now, especially withfree-agent Bronson Arroyolikely to sign elsewhere,Cingrani pencils in as thefifth starter.

Roark, 27, is in a com-petitive situation.Washington called him

up to make his majorleague debut in August. Hepitched well in relief andthen as a starter, finish-ing 7-1 with a 1.51 ERA in53⅔ innings. Not bad forhis first taste of the bigleagues.

In the offseason, the Na-tionals landed Doug Fister,of the Tigers. Ross Detwilerand young Taylor Jordanare Roark’s competition forthe fifth starter spot.

If Roark does not winthe job, he has proven healso can pitch in relief. Hecould do that or returnto Triple-A to continuestarting and prepare tojoin the big club when theinevitable injury bug hitsthe rotation.

Area players on the mi-nor league level have beenin offseason news, as well.

Outfielder Joe Benson(Joliet Catholic), in the Tex-as organization for muchof last season, was signed

by the Florida Marlins thismonth to a minor leaguedeal with an invitation tospring training.

Benson, who made hismajor league debut withthe Minnesota Twins inSeptember 2011, struggledfor most of 2013 but still isconsidered a prospect withall the tools. The Marlinsare hoping everythingclicks.

Dean Anna (Lin-coln-Way East), traded bySan Diego to the Yankeesthis offseason, will go tocamp in competition for thestarting second base job, orat least a platoon or utilityjob. He led the Pacific CoastLeague last season, hitting.331 at Tucson.

A left-handed hitter,Anna is a guy whose scout-ing report says he’s a stepslow, has an average arm,doesn’t have not muchpower, but is a grinder. TheYankees have candidatesfor their second base job,but nobody stands out atthis point, and Anna is inthe mix.

Zach Petrick (Morris)was solid at three stops onthe St. Louis minor leaguetrail and was named theCardinals’ Minor LeaguePitcher of the Year.

Mike Foltynewicz(Minooka) has not been inTriple-A yet and probablyis not ready to make hismajor league debut withthe Houston Astros, but the

time is coming. His fastballcan hit 100 mph, and he iscommanding his pitchesmuch better with 2½ mi-nor league seasons underhis belt.

In an organization withsignificant young pitch-ing talent, Foltynewiczgenerally is considered oneof the most outstandingprospects.

JERSEY CITY, N.J. – The Pro Foot-

ball Hall of Fame is filled with players

who never played in a Super Bowl or

NFL Championship game.

Dick Butkus, Gale Sayers, Earl Camp-

bell, Eric Dickerson, Dan Fouts and Dan

Marino are just a few hall of famers who

quickly come to mind as having never

won a Super Bowl.

Tony Gonzalez is a sure-fire inductee

who played 16 years without making it

to the Super Bowl and changed his mind

about retirement last summer to come

back for one more shot just because his

Falcons had been the NFC’s No. 1 seed

two of the past three seasons.

But that type of heartbreak is what

makes it special when a player like

Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey

makes it to his first Super Bowl in his

15th season.

“It has been a long hard road, but

I’m just taking it in stride,” Bailey said.

“I’m not trying to hype it up more than it

should be. It’s still football.”

Bailey’s story is one people can feel

good about. Seahawks cornerback Rich-

ard Sherman has been in the spotlight

for his less than kind comments about

opposing players since the end of the

NFC title game. But, on the subject of

Bailey, the self-described “best corner-

back in the NFL” says, “I think Champ

Bailey is a fantastic person and player,

and I think he is going to be a Hall of

Famer once his career’s done.”

“He’s kind of laid out the base work to

be a lockdown corner in this league. He

did it for a long time, and he’s still doing

it.”

Asked when he really felt it sinking

in that he was going to the Super Bowl

Bailey said, “I think once you start

packing and you walk out of the house

with your suitcase, that’s when you

realize what’s in front of you. It’s a good

feeling.”

While it’s the Seahawks’ secondary

that’s demanded respect throughout the

league for its “Legion of Boom” play,

another Seattle All Pro, safety Earl

Thomas, also is a huge Bailey fan.

“The longevity that he’s brought to

this game,” Thomas said. “I had him on

my MySpace page when I was in high

school and in maybe 10th grade. The guy

has been doing it for a long time, and it’s

been a humbling experience to see a guy

who’s been in this league 15 years, and

this is his only opportunity to play in the

Super Bowl.”

Bailey had never attended a Super

Bowl before.

“I didn’t see any reason to go,” he

said. “I’m not going to cheer for any-

body, and if I have no special interests in

the game, other than being a fan watch-

ing it at home, why go? That’s the way

I’ve always been.”

Seattle wide receiver Doug Baldwin,

going to his first Super Bowl in just his

third NFL season as an undrafted rookie

free agent out of Stanford, can’t wait to

meet Bailey on the field.

“I’ve always looked up to him,” Bald-

win said. “It’s going to be an exciting

opportunity for me to go up against one

of the best to ever play the game at his

position.”

Could this be it for Bailey if he wins?

“I’m not really thinking about

retiring if I win,” Bailey said. “All I’m

thinking about is winning and doing

what I’ve got to do to win the game. After

the game, we’ll talk about that.”

Of the beginning of his Super Bowl

experience Bailey says, “This is the

worst part: sitting here answering all

these questions I’ll have to answer all

week. But I’m going to enjoy it as much

as I can and just get ready to play this

big game.”

White Sox right fielder Avisail Garcia speaks to reporters during SoxFest, the team’s annual fan convention, on Friday at thePalmer House Hilton in Chicago.

Big softie hopes to hit hard for SoxTomMusick

VIEWS

CHICAGO – Even whenhe’s dressed in businesscasual – in this case, darkdress pants and a lavenderbutton-down shirt – AvisailGarcia is intimidating.

At 6-foot-4 and 240pounds, Garcia is built likesome sort of Venezuelanlinebacker. His eyes aredark and serious. His bi-ceps fill his upper sleeves,and his neck and shouldermuscles prompt his shirt toincline sharply toward thecollar.

God bless anyone whofaces this guy when he hasa bat in his hand.

But the mission herewas to interview Garcia,toe to toe, away from thesafety in numbers of themedia scrum. The purposewas to gain a better under-standing of the 22-year-oldoutfielder, who is expectedto play a key role for theWhite Sox as they movetoward a younger, moreathletic roster in the sea-sons ahead.

Another goal? Trynot to get crushed like astyrofoam cup by Gar-cia, who was talking andlaughing with a few of histeammates before he wasinterrupted.

Start with a positivequestion, then. Time wasticking on the team’smedia availability session,and soon the behemothprospect would be whiskedinto another ballroom at

the Palmer House Hilton togreet hundreds of cheeringSox fans.

What’s the best thingabout the offseason?

A smile crossed Gar-cia’s face.

“Being with my daugh-ter,” Garcia said. “That’sthe best thing.”

And with that came arealization.

Garcia was a big softie.Garcia’s wife, Ana-

karina, gave birth to thecouple’s first child Sept. 16.The Sox slugger returnedto the team a few days

later, played the final 10games of the season, andthen turned his focustoward his burgeoningfamily and bright future.

As Garcia spoke abouthis daughter, he lifted hislavender sleeve.

On his left wrist, a cur-sive tattoo spelled out hername: Annarella.

“She’s amazing,” saidGarcia, who has spent thebulk of his offseason withhis family in Venezuela.“When she sees me, she’sjust laughing, laughing,laughing. I play a lot with

her, so she loves me a lot.”At first, Garcia said,

sleep was tough to come byas a new parent.

“First month? Nuh-uh,” Garcia said. “Secondmonth? Nuh-uh.

“Third month and ahalf? Yes.”

Soon, though, Garciawill be playing games withhis teammates insteadof his family. The Soxare hoping for Garcia toemerge as a consistent,middle-of-the-order hitterafter he batted .304 withfive home runs and 21

RBIs in 42 games late lastseason.

Maintaining a high bat-ting average and on-basepercentage will be toughfor Garcia, a free swingerwho has walked only 12times in 307 big-leagueplate appearances. Yethis combination of powerand speed caused BaseballAmerica to rank him asDetroit’s No. 2 prospectand one of baseball’s top100 prospects entering 2013.

One year later, Garcia isready to take on the Sox’sfull-time job in right field.

He also is ready to saygoodbye to his daughterfor a little while when hegoes to spring training inGlendale, Ariz.

“It’s going to be hard,but I’ve prepared myselffor that,” Garcia said. “I’vebeen working, prepar-ing my body. I think it’sgoing to be good. Hard, butgood.”

Likewise, Garcia saidhe thinks that he canimprove upon his first twostints in the majors. Alltold, he has hit .289 withseven home runs and 34RBIs in 95 career games.

This winter, Garcia hasworked out at a baseballacademy in his home coun-try. He tries not to modelhis playing style after any-one else – he wants to behimself, he said – but it’stempting to imagine himfollowing in the footstepsof other top Venezuelanhitters such as MiguelCabrera, Magglio Ordonezand Bobby Abreu.

“I think I’ve got thechance to play here everyday, working with theseguys,” Garcia said, glanc-ing toward his teammates.“I try to be consistent hit-ting, defensively, running.Try to win games. Try tobeat my numbers from lastyear.”

And embrace how hislife has changed as a dad.

“Yes,” Garcia said. “Bet-ter baseball player, betterperson, better everything.”

I THINK I’VE GOT THE CHANCE TO PLAYHERE EVERY DAY, WORKINGWITH THESE GUYS. I TRY TO

NHL won’t commit to Olympics beyond SochiBy LARRY LAGEThe Associated Press

The NHL has not de-cided whether to let itsplayers participate in theOlympics beyond thisyear, casting doubt onwho will be competing forhockey gold in four years.

With the league set topush pause on its seasonfor next month’s SochiOlympics, Deputy Commis-sioner Bill Daly also is al-

lowing for the possibility ofa security issue that couldkeep the players from trav-eling to Russia at all.

Sweden’s Daniel Al-fredsson has competed ineach of the last four Olym-pics with players from theleague and is looking for-ward to a fifth and proba-bly final time next month.The 41-year-old DetroitRed Wings forward saidit would be “bad” for theNHL to take the unique

experience away from itsplayers in the future.

“It’s an unbelievableexperience,” Alfredssonsaid.

The NHL and the play-ers’ association will decideon future Olympic partic-ipation after Sochi, just asthey have done since thetop players started partici-pating in the games in 1998.

League officials justaren’t sure freezing theirleague for two-plus weeks

in the middle of the seasonis good for business – espe-cially when the Olympicsare not in the U.S. or Can-ada.

“The North Americanexperiences have been bet-ter than far-away Olympicsfor a host reasons, includ-ing exposure,” Daly saidin a recent interview withthe AP. “When you havea North American-basedOlympics, you can havea shorter period without

NHL games. We’re goingto have the longest breakwe’ve ever had, and thatcould interrupt momen-tum for teams and have aneffect on their competitive-ness based on how manyplayers they have playing,and how many injuriesthey have in Sochi.”

The NHL had 150 of itsplayers – at least one foreach of the 12 countries inthe tournament – picked toplay.

Bert and Ernie jumprope and munch apples andcarrots, and Cookie Mon-ster has his namesake treatonce a week, not every day.Can a Muppets mini-make-over improve kids’ health,too?

A three-year experimentin South America suggestsit can. Now, the SesameStreet project is coming tothe United States.

Already, a test run in aNew York City preschoolhas seen results: Four-year-old Jahmeice Strowder gother mom to make cauli-flower for the first timein her life. A classmate,Bryson Payne, bugged hisdad for a banana everymorning and more salads.A parent brought homea loaf of bread instead ofDoritos.

“What we created, Ibelieve, is a culture” ofhealthy eating to fight a“toxic environment” ofjunk food and too littleexercise, said Dr. ValentinFuster, a cardiologist atNew York’s Mount SinaiHospital.

Six years ago, he startedworking with SesameWorkshop, producers ofTV’s Sesame Street, on aproject aimed at 3-to-5-year-olds.

“At that age they payattention to everything”and habits can be changed,he said.

The need is clear: Athird of U.S. childrenand teens are obese oroverweight. Many don’tget enough exercise, anda recent study found thatkids’ fitness has declinedworldwide. They’re at high

risk for heart and otherproblems later in life.

“The focus is youngerand younger” to try toprevent this, said Dr. Ste-phen Daniels, a Universityof Colorado pediatricianand a spokesman for theAmerican Heart Associa-tion. The group’s annualconference in Novemberfeatured Fuster’s experi-ment as one of the year’stop achievements in heartdisease prevention.

For Sesame Street, theproject offered a chance toimprove the lives of youngviewers and give a make-over to certain Muppets.

“While Cookie Monsteris an engaging figure, wefelt there was an opportu-nity there to really modelhealthy eating,” said JorgeBaxter, regional directorfor Latin America for Sesa-me Workshop.

The new message is thatcertain things like cookiesare “something you can eatsometimes, but there aresome foods that you can eatall the time,” such as vege-tables, he said. The healthymessages have been grad-ually incorporated intothe television show, andits producers even made adoctor Muppet – Dr. Ruster(pronounced “Rooster”) –in Fuster’s image for thepreschool project.

It launched in Colombiabecause U.S. schools thatFuster approached yearsago were reluctant, but awealthy family’s founda-tion was willing to sponsorthe experiment in Bogota.

It involved 1,216 chil-dren and 928 parents from14 preschools. Some weregiven the program andothers served as a compari-son group.

Kids had training onhealthy habits and howthe body works for anhour a day for five monthsusing Sesame Work-shop-produced videos, aboard game (the “heartgame”), songs, posters andactivities. Parents wereinvolved through take-home assignments andworkshops that focusedon overcoming barriersto good food and exercise.For example, in areaswith poor access to parksor play spaces, parentswere coached to encour-age kids to use stairsinstead of elevators andto walk instead of takinga bus.

Children’s weightand exercise habits weremeasured at the startand 1½ and 3 years later.Although many moved ordropped out by the time thestudy ended, researchers

documented a significantincrease in knowledge,attitude and health habitscores among kids in theprogram versus the com-parison group.

The proportion of chil-dren at a healthy weightincreased from 62 percentat the start to 75 percent atthree years for those in theprogram. Ironically, in Co-lombia, that mostly meantthat more undernour-ished kids grew to reach ahealthy weight.

In New York, where theprogram plans to launchin several early childhoodand Head Start programsthis spring and fall, projectleaders will have to tackleunder- and overweightkids.

“A lot of the kids arefrom low-income families,shelters,” and many havepoor access to healthyfoods, said Rachael Lynch,

director of educationalservices for an EpiscopalSocial Services preschool,The Learning Center, inHarlem. “It’s a mecca forfast food around here.We’re trying to get them towalk past the Chinese foodor pizza or McDonald’s, togo home and make some-thing.”

Her preschool tested theSesame Street project lastsummer and “it really tookoff” with kids and parents,she said.

“They love it. The kidsrelate, I can’t stress itenough,” to the SesameStreet characters, she said.

The program hadkids work in a nearbycommunity garden oneday a week to learn aboutgrowing vegetables. Theyhad a “mystery food box”to reach inside, feel andguess the contents, thenuse what they found to

make a healthy snack suchas smoothies, fruit salads,microwaved baked applesand apple dip.

Children took home a“weekend update” to listand draw pictures of whatthey ate. Parents wereasked to sign it to encour-age an adult focus onhealthy meals.

Kateshia Strowdersaid the program had abig impact on her and herdaughter, Jahmeice.

“We’d be in the grocerystore and she would nameevery vegetable. It’s amaz-ing. Brussels sprouts – shelikes it. Cabbage – she likesit,” Strowder said. “I’mnot a vegetable eater, to behonest. But I had to learn todo those things for her.”

Donte Payne said thesame for his son, Bryson, 4,who also was in the Harlemprogram.

“It made him moreinterested in eating morehealthy things,” Paynesaid. “He became very in-terested in salads. He lovessalad now.”

In Colombia, the pro-gram is now expandingto about 20,000 children,and in Spain, a project isstarting in Madrid. In NewYork, a foundation Fusterruns at Mount Sinai willsponsor the U.S. launch,aided by private donors.

Dr. Jaime Cespedes,a pediatric and heartspecialist who helped leadthe project in Colombiabelieves it will succeedwherever it is tried.

“Sesame knows kids,knows media and how tocommunicate the messag-es,” he said. “When you getthe kids to deliver the mes-sage to the family, changewill come.”

CELEBRITY CIPHER

BRIDGE by Phillip AlderCROSSWORD SUDOKU

Another unusual rebidAlfred North Whitehead, an English

mathematician and philosopher who died in1947, said, “It requires a very unusual mind tomake an analysis of the obvious.”

What some people see as obvious, othersfind unusual. Take, for example, today’s deal.Look at the North hand. Your partner opensone heart, you respond one no-trump, and herebids two clubs. What would you do now?

It looks obvious to raise to three clubs,game-invitational. But you would do thatwith a weaker hand. For example, take two ofthe low clubs and make them low diamonds.You would still raise to three clubs. Thishand, though, is more powerful. In fact, ifyou had had king-queen-jack-sixth of clubsand the diamond king, you probably wouldhave responded two clubs, not one no-trump,planning to rebid three clubs. How can youshow a very good three-club raise?

By rebidding two spades. This cannot benatural, because you would have respondedone spade, not one no-trump, with lengthin that suit. And it says nothing about yourholding in spades. (The same call can be usedif opener rebids two diamonds and you haveexcellent support for that suit.)

In this instance, South, with those wonder-ful aces, should continue with three spades todescribe his distribution, and leave three no-trump as an option should North have strongdiamonds. Here, North would probably bidfour clubs and South would raise to game.

As you can see, five clubs needs either theheart finesse or the club finesse to work. Butthree no-trump has no chance with the clubfinesse failing.

Tuesday, January 28, 2014 • Page 27The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com ADVICE

Dr.Wallace: I’m 17 and a

senior in high school. My

parents were divorced last

year, and I decided to live

with my mother because I

think my father is to blame

for the split. My mother

has a boyfriend. He’s a nice

man and I like him very

much. He’s from Califor-

nia and plans to move to

the Los Angeles area in

a month. My mother will

move too, and they want

me to go with them. I love

my mom, but I want to stay

here and graduate with

my classmates. The only

problem is that I’d have to

live with my father, whom

I don’t respect. Please tell

me your thoughts on this. –Nameless, Seattle, Wash.

DearNameless: I usually

encourage parents to let

their children graduate

with their classmates, if at

all possible. In your case,

however, I don’t think it

would work, since you

have no relative with

whom you could stay other

than your father. You’re

faced with a dilemma that

has no ideal solution.

Dr.Wallace:My parents

suspect that my 19-year-old

brother is using cocaine

because he has been acting

very weird lately and my

mother found a white pow-

der substance in his room.

She flushed the stuff down

the toilet. We have talked

to my brother about his

possible cocaine use, but

he denies it. All he’ll admit

to is smoking pot once in

a while. We need to know

the symptoms of cocaine

use so that we can get help

for him if he’s using it.

Can you help us? – Anne,Indianapolis, Ind.

DearAnne:Regular co-

caine users have a difficult

time sleeping and usually

lose their appetite. Cocaine

initially elevates one’s

mood, temporarily filling

the user with a sense of

exhilaration and well-be-

ing. As this effect wears off,

however, the user slides

into a depression that is

characterized by feelings

of dullness or tension and

edginess. It is extremely dif-

ficult for someone hooked

on cocaine to overcome

his addiction without help

from a treatment program.

I would suggest you call the

information and treatment

referral hotline of the

National Institute on Drug

Abuse, at (800) 662-HELP.

Dr.Wallace: I read in a

teen magazine that Ecstasy

is the most popular drug

used at rave parties. I

live in a very small town,

and I’m embarrassed to

admit that I don’t know

what Ecstasy is and I’ve

never heard of a rave

party. Please tell me. I’m

14 years old and live a very

sheltered life. – Nameless,Cedar Lake, Ind.

DearNameless:Don’t be

embarrassed. It would be

great if no one knew about

Ecstasy and rave parties.

Ecstasy is a synthetic hallu-

cinogenic drug and is pop-

ular to drug users because

of its ample availability

and its low price. Constant

use of Ecstasy can cause

brain damage. Any dose

can cause anxiety, nausea,

sweating, teeth clenching

and muscle cramping, and

in some cases, even death.

Raves are late-night parties

that can hold a large group

of people.

Dear Abby: My two children and Ihave lived with my parents for a fewyears because I had some health prob-lems. Now that I am healthy again,I’m ready to return to work and moveto a new home, but I am encounteringsevere resistance from my parents.

As I have recovered, our situationhas gone from my parents helping meto my assuming the majority of thehousehold responsibilities.

My parents say they know I wantto go back to work and know it willbe good for me to be independent, butbecause of their own health concernsthey need me to stay.

I have always felt a strong respon-sibility toward my family, but I knowthat not having a home to call ourown limits the personal growth of mychildren and me.

I have been offered a great job inanother state that would allow meto provide well for my children, butI feel crushing guilt for even consid-ering leaving my parents to fend for

themselves. Iknow this will be a life-changing

decision for all of us, so please giveme an objective point of view. – DadTorn In Two Directions In Texas

Dear Dad: On an emotional level, ofcourse your leaving will be traumaticfor your parents. They will miss youand the children and all the activityin the house they have become usedto. Also, someone may have to as-sume the household chores that youhave been taking care of.

If you accept this job – and in myopinion you should if you can’t findone that pays as well closer to yourparents – perhaps you could subsidizea housekeeper, a cleaning companyor someone to help with the yardwork a few times a month.

Dear Abby: I was wondering if awoman can be considered engaged toa man if she is still married to anoth-er man, but separated?

I have a friend who has been sepa-rated from her husband for two years.

They live apart, but not “legally.”Can she be considered engaged?Wouldn’t her ring be a promise ringand not an engagement ring? Pleasehelp me clear up this confusion. –Confounded In West Virginia

Dear Confounded:To declare one-self engaged while legally marriedto another person does appear to bepremature.

However, your friend can call her-self whatever she wants if it pleasesher.

The same is true for what she callsthe rock she’s wearing. If you valueher friendship, you’ll let it slide anddon’t contradict her.

Dear Doctor K:My 9-month-olddaughter had a seizure last time shehad a high fever. The pediatriciansaid it could happen again. What do Ineed to know?

Dear Reader:The medical term forwhat your daughter experienced is fe-brile seizure. I was taught that febrileseizures are caused by a high fever ora sudden rise in body temperature.The effect of the higher body tempera-ture makes the brain “irritable” andcauses a seizure. But in the last fewyears, we’ve learned it may be morecomplicated than that.

Some childhood seizures arecaused by a new infection with a com-mon virus, called human herpesvi-rus-6. This virus infects most childrenat a young age and remains in theirbodies for the rest of their lives.

When a child first is infected withthis virus, it travels to the brain,where it causes a fever – and maycause chemical changes in the brainthat lead to seizures. We don’t knowhow many febrile seizures are causedby this virus. We do know that severefebrile seizures that don’t end prompt-ly often are caused by the virus.

What is a seizure? The brain’snerve cells communicate with each

other by giving off tiny electricsignals in a tightly controlled process.However, when someone has aseizure, large numbers of cells startfiring in an uncontrolled process. (Onmy website, AskDoctorK.com, I’veput an illustration of what electricalactivity in the brain looks like nor-mally and during a seizure.)

Depending on where in the brainthe seizure starts, and whether theelectrical firestorm travels to anotherpart of the brain, seizures have differ-ent effects on the body. Some seizurescause a person to temporarily loseconsciousness. Some cause differentmuscles in the body to twitch or jerkuncontrollably. Others just causetemporary strange behavior.

As your doctor mentioned, manychildren who have had a febrileseizure will have another one. Oneof the best ways to prevent one is toprevent a high fever. If your daughterdevelops a fever, have her drink plen-ty of water and fruit juices to prevent

dehydration. Give her ibuprofen (Ad-vil, Motrin, others) or acetaminophen(Tylenol), but not aspirin.

You cannot stop a seizure once itstarts. If your daughter has a seizure,the following can help keep her safe:

• Place her on her side or stomachon a safe, flat surface, such as thefloor. Keep her away from furnitureor objects that may cause injury.

• Tilt her head to the side to pre-vent choking.

• Do not restrain her, or put any-thing between her teeth.

• Observe her carefully so you candescribe the events to your doctor.

• If the seizure lasts longer thanabout five minutes, call your doctor.

Otherwise, call your doctor afterthe seizure is over, to arrange anappointment if necessary.

It can be extremely distressingto watch your child experience aseizure. Fortunately, most chil-dren outgrow this condition, andfebrile seizures generally are notharmful and do not cause long-termproblems.

Top five note-worthymoments atGrammy’sBy DAVIDMALITZTheWashington Post

So, you didn’t watch the Grammysbecause you were watching “DowntonAbbey” or “True Detective” or the ProBowl. (Ha, just kidding on that last one).Or because you, correctly, figured therewere better ways to spend nearly fourhours. But that doesn’t mean you don’twant to take part in the discussion that’shappening this week. With these talkingpoints you’ll be right there with everyonewho watched every moment.

1. Daft Punk does not break characterunder any circumstance.

Even upon winning the biggest awardof the night, album of the year, the helmet-ed French duo behind last year’s still-in-escapable “Get Lucky” didn’t ditch theirsignature headgear. This is impressive notjust in terms of commitment to characterbut also because it had to be hot in thosehelmets after nearly four hours, right?

The duo stayed silent when winningmajor awards for record of the year andbest pop duo/group performance, lettingcollaborator Pharrell Williams speak ontheir behalf. And when their name wascalled for album of the year, the “robot”duo shared an embrace and accepted theirtrophies but remained wordless and undertheir helmets.

2. Speaking of Pharrell Williams ... whatwas the deal with his hats?

If you want to get people talking, this isprobably the one question to ask. Anyonewho watched will have opinions, jokes andcomparisons to other famous hats. LikeArby’s, which was happy to play along.And there was no shortage of opportuni-ties to talk about the hat, since Pharrell– the vocalist on “Get Lucky” – took thestage with Daft Punk every time the duowon an award.

3. It looked like it was going to beMackle-more’s night, but it was only kind of his night.

The Seattle rapper – along with histrusty sidekick Ryan Lewis – seemedpoised to be the big winner after he sweptthe rap categories in the pre-telecastawards ceremony. In winning best rapperformance, best rap song and best rapalbum, he beat out the likes of Drake,Eminem, Jay Z, Kanye West and Kendrick

Lamar. Not exactly weak competition.And while there was the expected win forbest new artist, the “Thrift Shop” star wasshut out of the other major categories.

But on a night filled with spectacle per-formances, it was Macklemore’s perfor-mance of gay-rights anthem “Same Love”that stood out, thanks to the – sweet?gimmicky? both? – actual marriages of33 couples (billed as gay, straight and ofmixed ethnic backgrounds) who officiallytied the knot during the performance. Ohyeah, Queen Latifah was the officiant andMadonna came out to sing, as well.

4. Get to know Lorde and KaceyMus-graves.

If you’ve been paying at least sort-ofclose attention, you already know whothese two young female performers are.Lorde is the 17-year-old New Zealanderwhose breakout single “Royals” remainsan unstoppable force; Kacey Musgraves isthe 25-year-old Texan who has emerged ascountry music’s brightest new star. Bothhad big nights. Lorde gave a typicallybewitching performance of “Royals” earlyin the evening and took home awardsfor song of the year and best pop soloperformance. Musgraves gave a sweetand straightforward performance of her

hit “Follow Your Arrow” before takinghome the award for best country album.In that category, she beat out Taylor Swift,who might be losing her magic touch.The former Grammy favorite went homeempty-handed.

5. It is still Beyonce’s world andwe are stilljust living in it.

It may seem like eons ago, but wayback at the beginning of the show, QueenBey kicked things off with a commandingand seductive performance of “Drunk inLove.” Everyone in the audience seemedto be basking in her presence; even whenhusband Jay Z emerged for his verse, heseemed to be simply be doing the same.For 8 p.m. on CBS, it was pretty risque.

6. The showwas long. Far, far too long.There is absolutely no reason that

show needed to be nearly four hours.Dedicating the telecast to performances in-stead of awards makes sense, but it wouldhave been OK to trim a few. More than afew. We’d all be just fine and a little lesstired if, say, Hunter Hayes, John Legend,Metallica/Lang Lang and Keith Urban/Gary Clark, Jr., didn’t make the final cut.This was the double-LP of awards shows,and there are always too many tracks ondouble LPs.
