VETERANS’MEMORIESKorean and Vietnam veterans look back on a different era / 3
PLAINFIELD TOWNSHIP– More than 200 teachers linedthe entrance and perimeterof Crystal Lawns Elementa-ry School Monday eveningchanting slogans of less test-ing and more classroom time.
“What do we do all day?”“Test!”What do we want to do?”“Teach!”The rally of teachers took
place two hours before aPlainfield School District202 Board meeting at CrystalLawn, where several teachersspoke about how they havelittle time to concentrate onhigher achieving and giftedstudents.
Association of PlainfieldTeachers, the teachers union,is in the midst of contract ne-gotiations with the school dis-trict.
On Oct. 22, teachers reject-ed a tentative contract thatwas agreed upon by negotiat-ing teams on both sides.
“The goal of this is to share
the information with the com-munity and stand for studentsby standing for our teachers,”union president Dawn Bull-ock said about the rally.
They chanted slogans andwaved signs as board mem-bers and administratorswalked into the school.
“We are here to get the bestfor our teachers,” Walker’sGrove Elementary fifth-gradeteacher Karen Eiserman said,adding she was concernedabout the increased focus bythe administration on testingand less instructional time forteachers.
“It’s to show unity, showwe have a strong union,”Eiserman said.
Carla Peters, a teacher whowas on the negotiating team,
said she hasn’t seen a rallyof this magnitude since 2002,when teachers last striked fora better contract.
However, she said the twosides still are at the table anddiscussing issues related tosalary, retirement and work-load.
“I didn’t feel like the [con-tract nixed by teachers] ad-dressed instructional changeas it should have,” said Ali-sa Vernick, a second-gradeteacher at River View Ele-mentary.
Board meetingSeveral teachers spoke
at the board meeting, tellingboard members the district isfocusing so much on under-achieving students it’s hurt-
ing the potential of gifted andhigher achieving students.
“Plainfield does a remark-able job working with specialneeds,” said Crystal Lawnteacher Scott Wall, reading astatement by another teach-er in the district. “It needs todo the same with the needs ofgifted children.”
Teachers speaking at themeeting said stacking of class-es also was an issue. It causedsome classes to have 20 to 25students and some to havemore than 30.
Board President Roger Bo-nuchi said the board was dis-appointed by the union turn-ing down the latest contract,saying it was the board thatagreed to the union’s salaryoffer.
However, union leadersafter the meeting said therewere other issues surround-ing that offer that the teachersdidn’t agree with.
“They’re drawing strengthin their members,” Superin-tendent Lane Abrell said of therally. “We’re going to continuethe negotiation process.”

JOLIET – Forecasters ex-pect the weather to be colderthan usual in the Joliet andChicago area this week as coldair from a massive storm nearAlaska blasts through the U.S.
But don’t expect to shovelsnow or put on the parka.
Temperatures this weekwill hover between 30 degreesduring the day and 20 degreesat night. But as long as peopledress appropriately, everyonewill survive, said Jeremy Hyl-ka, Joliet Weather Center di-rector.
“It’s cold weather. We’veseen it before. It’s just earlierthan normal,” he said.
However, Monday, whentemperatures reached the 60s,[it] might be the last warmweather for the rest of themonth, if not the year, Hylkasaid.
Based on the latest infor-mation, this week’s cold snap
might not let up for severalweeks, he said. But it won’t beas cold as Minnesota or Wis-consin, where forecasters ex-pect snowfall, he said.
Hylka said many peoplethink this might be the returnof last year’s polar vortex,which is an overused termin the media. But it’s more ofa cold snap or “unseasonablycold weather,” he said.
“Every cold snap is not a po-lar vortex,” he said.
In Joliet, Tuesday weatherwill be mostly cloudy and couldinclude rain in the morning, ac-cording to the National Weath-er Service. Temperatures willfall to around 36 degrees by 5p.m. with a west wind travelingbetween 15 to 20 miles an hour,with gusts as high as 30 milesan hour.
Tuesday temperatures areexpected to fall to 25 degrees atnight.
Wednesday will be mostlysunny with a high near 32 de-grees and a low around 21 de-
grees at night. Meteorologistspredict weather will be verysimilar through Friday.
Saturday will be partly sun-ny, with a high near 36 degreesand a slight chance of snow.The weather will be mostlycloudy, with a low around 25degrees at night.
Amy Seeley, NationalWeather Service meteorolo-gist, said the cold weather thisweek comes from TyphoonNuri.
Remnants of the typhoonare near Alaska, where it didnot do much damage to the is-lands there,s but forecasterssay it’s anchoring a systemthat will push frigid air intothe U.S. mainland and sendtemperatures plunging earlythis week.
“Most of it is having to dowith the storm out west push-ing colder air down,” Seeleysaid.

3COVER STORY
JOLIET – Veterans of theKorean and Vietnam warsremember the stark contrastin the reaction they receivedupon returning home.
Some people thanked themfor their service, but mostly,the veterans came home to acountry that didn’t wave flagsto support veterans like today.
“They avoided us mostly,”Vietnam war veteran Freder-ick Clarence Zabel said, add-ing veterans from the warwere often called “baby kill-ers” and weren’t treated withrespect during the decades af-ter World War II.
Veterans of both wars expe-rienced loss, as well as physi-cal and psychological damage.While many are living out thelater stages of their lives andfeeling fortunate for gettingthrough the wars, they stillwonder why they were forgot-ten or vilified.
Joliet veterans talked abouttheir experiences at war andcoming home while being in-terviewed recently at Ameri-can Legion Post 1080 in Joliet.
The ‘Forgotten’ warMarshall Forrest was a
medic in the Marine Corpsduring the Korean War.
Forrest served from 1952 to1954 and didn’t see direct ac-tion, but remembers patchingup wounded soldiers and pris-oners of war.
“Today they don’t call ita war, they call it a conflict,”Forrest said, explaining howhe and his veteran colleaguescoming home often weren’trecognized for their sacrifice.
However, Forrest said Ko-rean War veterans found com-fort in those they knew andloved, which helped them copewith the war’s aftereffects.
“Back then you came homeand everybody knew every-body,” said Forrest, who methis wife in the hospital heworked in during the war.“Back then the community
supported you.”Donald Walden saw action
while in charge of commandand operations on a shipposted off the Japanese coastthrough the end of the KoreanWar.
Walden was drafted to theNavy in 1952 while takingclasses at Joliet Junior Col-lege.
Walden said Korea was the“forgotten” war not just be-cause people back home weredistracted with Vietnam andother wars and conflicts, butbecause there was a lack ofpreparation for the KoreanWar itself.
“There were not enoughuniforms when I just started,”Walden said. “We let it get thatbad. ... I just hoped we never letour guard down.”
Members of Walden’s fami-ly have served in several wars,including his father, whoserved in France during WorldWar I.
That lineage instilled apenchant for civil service inWalden, who is a Troy Town-ship trustee and has servedin several volunteer officesaround Will County.
“Personally, I got a greatcountry to serve,” he said.“The government doesn’t oweme anything for my service.”
Back from VietnamJoliet resident Richard
Fredricks served in the Viet-nam War from 1958 to 1962.While he served in variouslocations within the UnitedStates, fixing airplanes as anengineer for the Air Force,
he saw the lack of recogni-tion soldiers and veterans re-ceived.
“Back then, that was aboutthe way they felt,” Fredrickssaid. “Everybody was a babykiller. It was a whole differentworld back then.”
Coming back from the Viet-nam War was different forveteran Orville Elza becausethe community support thathelped Forrest return to civil-ian life wasn’t there. And vet-erans were often villainized.
The Vietnam War wasresponsible for much morethan half a million Americandeaths, but also the pain andsuffering of those still livingwith the images, Elza said.
“I am never so ashamed aswhen people say, ‘Thank youfor serving,’ ” said Elza, who
commanded several aircraftwhile he served for six yearsin the Air Force and commit-ted acts he wasn’t proud of.“Part of us died and nevercame back.”
Elza said he developed al-coholic tendencies while serv-ing and being diagnosed withpost-traumatic stress disorderand tinnitus, an ear-ringingdisorder.
When he returned home,Elza said there wasn’t directmedical help for people withhis conditions. And it’s stillan issue today.
“It’s more psychologicaldamage than anything else,”Elza said, explaining howthe effects of the war andpost-traumatic stress disorder

But lawyers seemed to referto a former co-defendant in theHickory Street slayings moreoften than McKee during court
proceedings.Defense at-
torney ChuckBretz said an“ u n l a w f u l ”sentence thatAlisa Massaroreceived undera plea deal fortestifying in thecase deprived
his client of the opportunity toproperly cross-examine a wit-ness against her.
Bretz said the issue will beraised again as McKee’s sen-tence is appealed.
On Jan. 9, 2013, McKee andMassaro lured Eric Glover Jr.and Terrance Rankins to Mas-saro’s house in the 1100 block ofNorth Hickory Street in Joliet.Prosecutors said the womenplanned to rob the pair alongwith Joshua Miner and AdamLanderman. Instead, Gloverand Rankins were killed.
While Miner strangledRankins and Landerman isaccused of strangling Glover,McKee also was accountablefor their murders by participat-ing in the robbery.
Miner was found guilty of
murder in a separate benchtrial and will receive a life sen-tence on Wednesday. Lander-man awaits trial.
Massaro also was chargedwith murder, but pleadedguilty in May to two counts ofrobbery and two counts of con-cealing a homicide for a total of10 years in prison. The originalplea deal had the sentences runat the same time, but state lawrequires they be served consec-utively, Bretz noted.
When Massaro’s sentencewas amended last week tomake them consecutive, it did
not change the amount of timeshe’ll spend behind bars, Assis-tant Will County State’s Attor-ney Daniel Walsh said.
But Bretz said another sen-tencing hearing should havebeen held instead of “simplybrushing [an unlawful sen-tence] under the rug.”
“It’s improper, and it vio-lated my client’s due process,”Bretz said.
Kinney said the issue canbe raised when McKee appealsher sentence to a higher court,which McKee and Bretz toldthe judge she intends to do.
NEW LENOX – Efforts torestore the damaged New Le-nox veterans memorial site gota $10,000 boost from ComEd’sparent company Exelon Corp.
Company officials have longsupported veterans and evenhave an employee network thatsupports veterans. They want-ed to make a donation whenthey heard about damages tothe site’s monuments in lateSeptember, said Terence Don-nelly, ComEd executive vicepresident and chief operatingofficer.
“When we heard aboutthis, obviously we are prettyimpacted. We know the monu-ment symbolizes the sacrificesveterans have made,” Donnel-ly said.
The company also wanted todonate because New Lenox iswithin ComEd’s service terri-tory, he said.
The donation is the latest ofmany contributions the veter-ans memorial site has gatheredsince it was wrecked. LarryPaveza, VFW Post 9545 quar-
termaster, said with Exelon’scontributions, donations totalmore than $41,000.
Paveza has said he wantsthe money to go toward morethan just restoration, includingimproving the site’s landscapeand adding security cameras.
New Lenox Mayor Tim Bal-dermann said the village wasgrateful for Exelon’s donation,but all donations are equallyimportant.
“Some small individualswho don’t have a lot of moneysend $25, which is truly appre-ciated,” he said.
After the veterans memori-
al site was damaged, New Le-nox police conducted an inves-tigation, which led to the arrestof Brian Sundstrom, 26, of 15Saint George, Bourbonnais.
Sundstrom pleaded notguilty to charges of criminaldamage to state-supportedproperty. His next court date isNov. 25.
Exelon and ComEd have al-ways supported veterans and
people serving in the military,Donnelly said. The companieshave a supportive networkfor employees with a militarybackground called Exelon Mil-itaries Actively Connected orE-MAC.
“I know they have a com-mitment to veterans. They’vehelped us many, many times inthe past,” Paveza said.
ComEd also offers a bill
payment assistance programfor veterans and active mili-tary personnel called ComEdHelps Activated/Veteran Mil-itary Personnel, or CHAMP.The program offers a packageof benefits, including bill pay-ment assistance of up to $1,000,according to ComEd.

JOLIET – Police are inves-tigating whether a teen caughtwith a gun Sunday at Lois Placeis connected to a robbery thatoccurred there the day before.
Two 16-year-old boys whoarranged to sell collectors’ gymshoes online went to the apart-ment complex about 10 p.m.Saturday, Joliet police Depu-ty Chief Ed Gregory said. Thevictims brought four pairs ofsneakers, including white andblue Nike Air Jordans.
“While they were expectingto meet the buyer at 1021 LoisPlace, two suspects came upcarrying a revolver and a pis-
tol,” Gregory said. After takingthe shoes, two cellphones andcash, the robbers fled and thevictims called police, Gregorysaid.
Shortly before 8 p.m. Sun-day, an officer on foot patrolnear 1001 Lois Place noticedtwo men matching the robbers’descriptions, wearing whiteand blue Air Jordans. Grego-ry said the officer “noticed theodor of marijuana” when heapproached the pair and askedwho they were visiting in thecomplex.
When another officer ar-rived, one of them, a 17-year-old, ran off before he could besearched. After he was tackledto the ground, he refused to
show whether anything was inhis hands, Gregory said.
“When he was searched,they found he was carryinga .22-caliber semi-automatichandgun,” Gregory said.
The teen was charged withaggravated unlawful use of aweapon, obstructing a policeofficer and criminal trespass-ing and booked into the Riv-er Valley Juvenile DetentionCenter.
His companion, CornelusL. Loftis, 21, of the 400 blockof South May Street, also wascharged with obstructing apolice officer and released onbond.
Detectives are investigatingboth incidents.
Legal pressure still on toreuse Illinois Youth Center
JOLIET – State Sen. PatMcGuire, D-Joliet, said Mon-day he hopes Republican gov-ernor-elect Bruce Rauner andhis administration will makereopening the Illinois YouthCenter in Joliet as a treatmentcenter for mentally ill inmatesa top priority.
“I look forward to convinc-ing him,” McGuire said.
The $30 million needed inannual operating costs was notincluded in the state budgetapproved earlier this year bylawmakers.
But the Illinois Departmentof Corrections is under pres-sure from a federal lawsuitseeking improved treatmentfor mentally ill inmates.
The DOC on Oct. 6 filed areport in U.S. District Court inPeoria outlining its plans forIYC-Joliet and three other fa-cilities to be used for mentallyill inmates. The filing followsa September hearing at whichlawyers for a group of inmatesasked the state to explain itsprogress in improving treat-ment.
The court-appointed moni-tor assigned to the case report-ed in September the state hadnot made acceptable progresson changes outlined in a May2013 order.
“Necessarily, this long-termsolution will involve extensiveconstruction and staffing ef-forts,” read an IDOC filing.
The state estimates it willspend $62 million a year to payan additional 352 clinical work-
ers and 200 security staff.Illinois Department of
Corrections spokesman TomShaer said Monday the depart-ment plans to seek supplemen-tal appropriations, but “itstiming is to be decided” by thegovernor’s budget office. IDOCwants to have the Joliet facilityrunning by 2016.
IDOC has secured $29 mil-lion from the state’s Capital De-velopment Board for the brick-and-mortar renovations for thefour facilities, including $17million for IYC Joliet, Shaersaid. The design phase is com-plete for IYC Joliet, and onceconstruction bids are reviewedand accepted, construction willbegin.

“Am I proud I served? I’mproud of how I served,” Elzasaid.
Lack of recognitionZabel, also a Vietnam vet-
eran, didn’t see the same typeof horrors Elza did while help-ing transport people, includ-ing those who were wounded,evacuate Vietnam followingthe withdrawal of Americanforces.
“What got to me was seeingthe boys try to leave their owncountry,” Zabel said, addingthat it disturbed him to think
of American children havingto go through the same situ-ation.
Zabel didn’t see people givehim, or others like his cousinwho died in Vietnam, the rec-ognition they deserved afterreturning to civilian life.
“We really didn’t get recog-nized until the 1990s,” he said.“Why?”
U.S. Army veteran MartinDominik served after the Viet-nam and Korean wars. But hetook care of two veterans fromthose eras who told him aboutthe horrors they endured, aswell as the hatred they feltfrom people when they cameback.
“Back then you didn’t seeruns for vets, you didn’t see alot of the breakfasts and things
for that nature,” Dominiksaid. “Unless you were a vetand you go to your Legion orVFW, that’s the only time youheard about those things.”
Zabel hopes today’s vet-erans returning from Iraq,Afghanistan and other con-flict zones around the worldat least get the simple recog-nition they deserve for theirservice.
“I would like to see some-body meet them at the air-port,” Zabel said.

OBITUARIES
Lawyer: FormerUI researcher inmurder case dies
The ASSOCIATED PRES
IOWA CITY, Iowa – A for-mer University of Iowa re-searcher has died before thestart of his murder trial inthe 1997 death of his wife, hisattorney said Monday.
John Bloomfield died sud-denly Thursday at hospitalin Minneapolis, according toLeon Spies. He said Bloom-field’s family confirmed thedeath.
Bloomfield was arrestedin November 2013 in connec-tion to the death of his wife,Frances Bloomfield, in IowaCity about 17 years ago. Au-thorities say he strangled hiswife then dumped her plas-tic-wrapped body in a ditchnear Rockford.
Bloomfield denied anywrongdoing. He had insist-ed that he returned from aninternational business tripto find his home burglarizedand blood-stained, with hiswife’s car missing. The vehi-cle later turned up at a New
Jersey airport.Investigators arrested
Bloomfield after developingnew forensic evidence in thecase.
Before his death, Bloom-field was being treated forcancer. A judge earlier thisyear allowed him to live un-der strict monitoring at hisMinnesota home until trial,which was scheduled to startnext year.
“He was as much as onecould, given the circum-stances, eager to have a trialwhere not only the prosecu-tion’s evidence but evidencewe uncovered in our inves-tigation could be presented,”he said.
The attorney said Bloom-field’s illness was physicallyand emotionally taxing onhis client. But he said Bloom-field was “bright and focusedand helpful” during a visit tohis home a few weeks ago.
“It’s sad that [there will]be this cloud over his name,”he said.

Former Vikings safety OrlandoThomas dies at age 42 of ALS
By DAVE CAMPBELLThe Associated Press
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. – AsALS began to destroy his body,Orlando Thomas lost his abili-ty to move.
Then he could no longerspeak. His wife, Demetra, guid-ed him through every painstak-ing word.
“She’d have to go throughthe entire alphabet, and he’dblink his eye. The only musclethat worked was his eyelids, sohe would blink at the letter,”said Mark Bartelstein, the for-mer agent for the free safetywho led the NFL in intercep-tions as a rookie for the Minne-sota Vikings in 1995. “Sentenc-es would take forever.”
The effort was worth it forfriends and family of the be-loved Thomas.
He died Sunday at 42 in hishometown of Crowley, Lou-isiana, after fighting the fatalamyotrophic lateral sclerosis,the neurodegenerative diseasecommonly known as Lou Geh-rig’s disease, for more than 10years. The death was confirmedMonday by the Vikings, Bartel-stein and Glenn Boullion, the
director of Geesey-FergusonFuneral Home in Crowley.
The Vikings issued a state-ment expressing their sadnessand condolences to his family.
“He represented the fran-chise and the state of Minneso-ta with the utmost dignity andclass,” the team said. “Whilehis outgoing personality madehim a favorite among his team-mates, Orlando’s involvementin the community made hima favorite outside of WinterPark.”
Thomas played seven sea-sons for the Vikings.
“We use great hyperboleor drama, but there’s no wayI could even properly describehis courage and his class andhis selflessness, just the wayhe’s handled everything,” saidBartelstein, who representedThomas throughout his career.“All he ever worried about waseverybody else. Never self-pity. Never woe is me. It wasalways, ‘How are you doing?How’s your family? How areyour kids?’ He never wanted totalk about what he was goingthrough.”
Thomas went through alot. The average survival time,
according to the ALS Associa-tion, is three to five years. Hemore than doubled that.
“He was so tough, and that’swhat allowed him to fight thisthing for so long,” Bartelsteinsaid.
A hard-hitting overachiev-er who played for the Louisi-ana-Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns,then known as SouthwesternLouisiana, Thomas was draftedin the second round by the Vi-kings. He picked off nine passesthat year in 1995 and finishedwith 22 for his career. He scoredfour touchdowns on returnsand was a key player on twoVikings teams that reached theNFC championship game, afterthe 1998 and 2000 seasons.
But that punishing playingstyle produced a number ofinjuries, keeping him out of atotal of 13 games over his lastthree years in the league. It alsolikely paved the way for the on-set of ALS.

DESMOINES, Iowa – The sea-son’s first snowstorm could bebad news for farmers in the UpperMidwest where corn remains infields.At least 4 inches of snow could
fall overnight in South Dakotawhere about 40 percent of thecrop remains, and inMinnesotawhere about a third remains.Most of the storm is expected
to stay north of corn and soybeanareas inWisconsin andMichigan.Iowa State University agricul-
ture economist Chad Hart says asnowstorm could reduce the har-vest if ears of corn are knockedoff or plants fall over.The U.S. Department of Agricul-

3New documentsoffer view of druglord network
CHICAGO – Prosecutors havereleased previously sealedtestimony from two cartel asso-ciates-turned-star governmentwitnesses that offer an insiders’look at how Mexican drug lordJoaquin ‘El Chapo’ Guzmantrafficked drugs to Chicago andother American cities.In the papers – filed in U.S.
District Court in Chicago overthe weekend – Margarito andPedro Flores portray a lucrative,well-organized network thatadhered to strict operationalrules set by Guzman and fellowSinaloa cartel kingpins.The twin brothers say their
network expanded over a decade
until, at its peak around 2007,they sold up to two tons of co-caine amonth in Chicago alone.They also supplied eight othercities, including New York, LosAngeles andWashington, D.C.Fearful that their multimil-
lion-dollar drug ring would final-ly unravel, the Flores brothersbegan cooperating in 2008 withU.S. agents. Says Pedro Floresin his statement, “I realized thatI would not be able to continuethis kind of a life forever.”Guzman, who was captured
in Mexico this year, is anindicted co-conspirator in theChicago case with the Florestwins and half a dozen others.The weekend filings come inadvance of a Nov. 24 sen-tencing hearing in Chicago forAlfredo Vasquez-Hernandez,who pleaded guilty in the caseearlier this year.

Barack Obama on Monday em-braced a radical change in howthe government treats Internetservice, coming down on theside of consumer activists whofear slower download speedsand higher costs but angeringRepublicans and the nation’scable giants who say the planwould kill jobs.Obama called on the Federal
Communications Commission tomore heavily regulate Internetproviders and treat broadbandmuch as it would any other pub-lic utility. He said the FCC shouldexplicitly prohibit Internetproviders such as Verizon andAT&T from charging data hogssuch as Netflix extra to movetheir content more quickly.The announcement sent cablestocks tumbling.“Net neutrality” is the idea

President Barack Obamawaves as he walks with Andrew Liveris, president and CEO of Dow Chemical Co.,as they arrive Monday at an Asia-Pacific CEO economic summit in Beijing.
Obama rejects notion there isbreakthrough with N. Korea
By JULIE PACEThe Associated Press
BEIJING – PresidentBarack Obama is squelchingspeculation that the release oftwo Americans held in NorthKorea might pave the way fora new round of nuclear talks,saying the U.S. needs morethan “small gestures” beforereopening a high level of dia-logue with Pyongyang.
Shortly after Obama ar-rived in China, North Korea’sneighbor and chief benefactor,the president made his firstextensive public commentsMonday on the hand-over ofAmericans Kenneth Bae andMatthew Miller. The timing ofthe Americans’ release raisedquestions about what messageNorth Korea’s young leader,Kim Jong Un, might be tryingto send Obama while he is inthe region.
While Obama welcomedBae’s and Miller’s reunionwith their families, he insist-ed his administration hadoffered nothing in returnto North Korea, one of theworld’s most isolated and im-poverished countries.
“There were not high-levelpolicy discussions,” Obamasaid during a meeting withAustralian Prime MinisterTony Abbott. When askedwhether the negotiations tosecure Bae and Miller’s re-lease gave him new insightinto North Korea’s mysteri-ous president and his strate-gy for dealing with the U.S.,Obama said curtly, “No.”
The president’s dismissivetone was echoed by senioradministration officials whosaid that while the WhiteHouse remains open to en-gagement with North Ko-rea, Pyongyang still has notshown any seriousness aboutdismantling its nuclear pro-gram or in addressing humanrights violations.
The president arrived inBeijing Monday for his firstvisit to China since 2009. Hisdiscussions during threedays of talks largely center onstrengthening U.S. economicties with the booming region.After meeting with regionalleaders at an Asia-Pacific eco-nomic summit, Obama willbegin a series of one-on-onemeetings Tuesday with Chi-
nese President Xi Jinping.As he addressed business
leaders attending the econom-ic summit Monday, Obamasought to dispel the notionthat America’s interest inAsia should be a cause for con-cern among China’s leaders.He said “one country’s pros-perity doesn’t have to come atthe expense of the other.”
In a goodwill gesture, theU.S. and China announcedan agreement extending thelength of time its citizens canbe granted visas in each coun-try. U.S. officials hope the dealto extend tourist and businessvisas to 10 years and studentvisas to five years will lead toan increase in Chinese citi-zens who come to the U.S. andspend money while on vaca-tion or working.
Still, Obama voiced con-cern about the prospect of acrackdown on pro-democra-cy protesters in Hong Kong,saying that his central focusis avoiding violence. He alsopressed negotiations with 11other nations – not includ-ing China – in hopes of soonreaching a breakthrough ona massive regional trade pact.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of

OUR VIEW

We owe our veteransmore than just thanksToday is a day when we will see flags fly-
ing, men and women in military uniforms andceremonies where children put their handsover their hearts as patriotic songs are played.
It’s wonderful to honor our veterans. Forall they have done, they deserve a day to begiven accolades.
There were 19.6 million military veteransin the United States as of 2013, according tothe Census Bureau. Of those, 9.3 million were65 years or older, and 1.6 million were young-er than 35. In 2013, there were 3.6 millionveterans with a service-connected disability,which is one that was a result of a disease orinjury incurred or aggravated during activemilitary service.
Veterans likely have seen images most ofus can’t imagine: The horrors of a movie orvideo game can’t compare to the battlefieldmany veterans have experienced – and foughton – firsthand.
And they did so because they believedin something bigger than themselves: Theybelieved in their country. They sacrificed forthe benefit of others. They understood that a
country which cherishes freedom as an idealrequires some to give up their freedom for thebenefit of others.
In many ways, our country fails veterans.Think of how many have had to wait to getservice at the nation’s veterans hospitals.Multiple deployments to dangerous, hostilelands can lead to post-traumatic stress disor-der or suicide. There are 30,000 to 32,000 U.S.deaths from suicide a year, according to theCenters for Disease Control and Prevention,and of those, about 20 percent are veterans.
We owe them more.Saying thanks to a veteran, or attending a
Veterans Day ceremony to honor them, is awonderful, heartfelt gesture.
But we cannot stop with that. We mustdemand our veterans receive the care theydeserve for giving their all for their country.We must show our gratitude every day, notjust the one day a year set aside for doing so.
As John F. Kennedy once said, “As we ex-press our gratitude, we must never forget thatthe highest appreciation is not to utter words,but to live by them.”
Quinn too unpopular, loses to fresh face RaunerBruce Rauner out-per-
formed his fellow RepublicanBill Brady’s 2010 gubernatorialelection performance in everyregion of the state last week.As I write this, with less thanhalf a percent of the vote yet tobe counted, Rauner has a bigfive-point margin over Gov.Pat Quinn and appears to havewon a majority vote in a three-way election.
The national headwindsagainst the Democratic Partysurely played a role in theQuinn loss. Even so, Comp-troller Judy Baar Topinka iswidely considered one of themost popular Republicans in Il-linois, yet she under-performedRauner.
Rauner scored just abovethe magic 20 percent numberin Chicago – a point where aRepublican can help balanceout the rest of the state’s vote.But he didn’t really need it. Heout-performed Brady’s 2010
performance in suburban CookCounty by six points, outdidthe downstater Brady in hisown region by a point andhugely trumped Brady’s 2010numbers throughout the collarcounties.
In the end, Quinn was toounpopular after six years of notproducing enough results onthe economy and the budget,and likely was too overly reli-ant on negative campaign ads.
One of Quinn’s few positivemessages was about raisingthe minimum wage, but thatcampaign issue – bolstered by astatewide, non-binding referen-dum – failed to spark Demo-cratic turnout and may haveworked against Quinn withsuburban women, to whom
“minimum wage” is a stigmaand something to be avoided.
“They didn’t want to hearabout raising the minimumwage when their grown kidswere still living at homeand can’t find a decent job,”grumped one higher-up theweekend before the vote. Hejust never had a message thatappealed to the middle class.
A coalition of labor unionsand community groups spentmillions of dollars using theminimum wage issue to boostDemocratic turnout by 225,000votes in Chicago and CookCounty compared to 2010. Butit was doomed from the start.
Barack Obama’s 2008 pres-idential campaign increasedDemocratic voting in CookCounty by 189,300 over Demo-crat John Kerry’s 2004 perfor-mance. The Quinnsters werehoping to do the same thingObama did – even though theyhad a candidate who was a
known (and disliked) quantity,was getting the blame for thestate’s budget problems andeconomic condition and wasup against a moderate gazil-lionaire.
It failed miserably. Quinnreceived 60,754 fewer votesin Cook County this yearcompared to 2010. They didn’texpand the vote – they con-tracted it.
Even worse, Quinn seemedto build his entire campaignaround this crazy theory. It’sapparently why he ran a “base”campaign, constantly talkingabout raising the minimumwage, bashing Rauner for be-ing a heartless billionaire, etc.
The whole idea, from the TVads down to the voter registra-tion and the minimum wageballot initiative, was to fire upthe base and jack up turnout.Quinn didn’t have to worryabout spending too much timeand money appealing to sub-
urban women, or downstatersor whomever. He could focusalmost his entire effort on turn-ing out the base with a coupleof strongly populist issues.
President George W. Bushused an anti-gay marriageballot initiative in Ohio to suc-cessfully bring conservativesto the polls and win the state in2004. But Bush was a popularwar president at the time. And,like Obama in 2008, that wasa presidential election year,when turnout is much moreeasily boosted than in off-yearslike this one.
Overall, Quinn was a flawed,unpopular governor whoplotted a doomed campaignstrategy against a guy who hada far better message, lots moremoney and, perhaps most im-portantly, a fresh, new face.

18 Providence makes good foes look ordinary
It happened after theseason opener against JolietCatholic.
Again, in the Chicago Blueopener against Mount Carmel.
And again, during the regu-lar-season meeting at St. Rita.
Finally, in Friday night’sClass 7A second-round playoffgame at St. Rita.
It’s about time we quitwalking away from Provi-dence Catholic football gamesfeeling the opponents are notas good as billed. Instead, let’sall come to the realization thatthese Celtics are that good.
It’s not to say Providence(10-1) is a shoo-in to win theClass 7A state championship.There are so many qualityteams in Class 7A that anythingcan happen from this week’squarterfinals on through cham-pionship weekend.
However, based on what wewitnessed last Friday night,when the Celtics dominatedChicago Catholic Blue rivalSt. Rita, 34-3, coach MarkCoglianese’s team is as goodas any regardless of class. TheMustangs (7-4) and Providencewere ranked 1-2 in the statewhen they met the first timein midseason, a 41-27 Celtics’victory. St Rita might nothave been that good, but itsoffense Friday night had noanswer for the inspired Provi-dence defense.
Of course, the Celtics area team whose offense hasgrabbed headlines. That willhappen when you boast twoDivision I receivers, MilesBoykin (Notre Dame) andNate Vejvoda (Iowa), alongwith a quarterback in JustinHunniford who has put upunheard-of numbers.
Hunniford is completing 70percent of his passes and hasthrown for more than 2,800yards and 39 touchdown withone interception. The Celticshave scored fewer than 33points twice all season, in the
21-10 season-opening win overJoliet Catholic and in theironly loss, a 10-7 setback atLoyola.
Mike Markasovic hasdeveloped into a big-play re-ceiver, as evidenced by his 37-
and 41-yard receptions in thesecond quarter Friday night.Mike Beller and Matt Mac-Nab are capable targets. So isrunning back Richie Warfield,who is tough to bring down.
Providence will be facing aquality defense – not to men-tion another program thatknows how to win – in Satur-day’s 1 p.m. Class 7A quarter-final as Wheaton WarrenvilleSouth comes calling.
But even if the Celtics’offense is not as productiveas usual, it may not matter.That’s because the Provi-dence defense also has beenoutstanding. The Celtics havelimited their last three foes toa total of 17 points.
“Our offense has all goodplayers,” defensive end JakeRost smiled after the sec-ond-round game against St.Rita. “But apparently, we [thedefense] do, too.”
St. Rita managed 139 totalyards against a Providencedefense that no longer canbe overlooked. Make nomistake, linemen Rost, TylerSchiemann and Luis Vasquez,outside linebackers EmmetTrost and Dan Miller, insidelinebackers Brendan O’Haraand Jimmy Sharkey, corner-backs Jack Pell and Zach Pychand safeties Mike Madej andErik Carroll comprise a solidunit.
Before the playoffs, anewspaper article indicatedthe Celtics’ secondary may betheir Achilles’ heel. St. Ritaquarterback C.J. Weydeman,a good passer, was 7 of 20 inthe second half for 24 yards.
Achilles’ heel? Don’t thinkso.
“They moved the ball alittle in the first half,” Cogli-anese said of the Mustangs.“We shut them down in thesecond half. The big thingwas we did not allow the bigplay.
“We were always confidentthat our offense would scoresome points. Luke [Senffner,the offensive coordinator] wasnot real happy. We didn’t haveour typical offensive output,but we had other guys whostepped up.”
Madej, for example, re-turned a punt 90 yards for athird-quarter touchdown thatswung momentum Provi-dence’s way once and for all.
You never really know howthese playoff games will turnout. Things happen.
Regardless of how the storyends, however, promise thismuch: No more leaving aProvidence game saying theopponent wasn’t that good.The Celtics have made goodteams look ordinary, which isthe ultimate compliment.
Providence’s Erik Carroll brings down St. Rita’s Martin Bechina during the fourth quarter of Friday’s Class 7Asecond-round playoff game at St. Rita. Providence defeated St. Rita 34-3.

WILMINGTON – Motorcy-cles, a Civil War cannon, pre-game fireworks display andthe Wilmington marchingband will greet the undefeatedWilmington Wildcats as theystorm onto Becker Field at4:40 p.m. Saturday.
At 5 p.m., the Class 3Aquarterfinal will kick off be-tween Interstate Eight Smallchampion Wilmington (11-0)and Okaw Valley Conferencechampion and 2013 Class 3Arunner-up St. Joseph-Ogden(10-1).
The Spartans dropped aheart-breaking 43-41 overtimedecision to Stillman Valley inlast year’s Class 3A title game.
That’s the same StillmanValley that defeated Wilm-ington, 21-7, in the infamous2003 Class 3A state champi-onship game dubbed “The IceBowl.” The game was playedin a central Illinois ice stormat the University of Illinois.
Wilmington enters thismatchup fresh from a 40-0 routSaturday of Okaw Valley Con-ference foe Monticello (7-4) inMonticello. St. Joseph-Ogdendefeated OVC co-championTolono Unity, 41-14, on Satur-day in Tolono, thus winningthe unofficial Okaw Valleychampionship. Earlier, Tolo-no beat St. Joseph-Ogden, 35-7, for the Spartans’ only loss.Monticello defeated Unity, 58-55, in an OVC shootout Sept.19.
Wilmington coach JeffReents’ team features aground attack led by 5-foot-10, 183-pound tailback NickMcWilliams. McWilliams had141 yards and two touchdownsin the Wildcats’ 40-0 blankingof Monticello on Saturday.He has rushed for more than1,200 yards and has scored 21touchdowns.
Nick Hawkins, their 5-foot-9, 181-pound junior halfback,has added more than 900yards rushing and a dozentouchdowns. QuarterbackMason Southall can run; andwhen he has to throw – whichisn’t often (he threw only onepass versus Monticello) – hisfavorite receiver is senior JoeMann.
Senior Kyle Davis and ju-
niors Baily Boswell, ZachYouell, Brian Casteel, AlexSiriani and Justin Walgrenanchor the offensive line.
The Wildcats’ defense isled by senior Derek Kirchner.He sacked Monticello quarter-back Brandon Wildman three
times Saturday. In the Wild-cats’ first-round romp overPaxton-Buckley-Loda, he hada pair of sacks.
Southall leads a Wildcatsecondary that shut downWildman, who entered thegame having thrown for 2,991yards and 31 touchdowns. OnSaturday, Wildman threw for147 yards and was picked offthree times.
St. Joseph-Ogden is locatedin St. Joseph and draw stu-dents from nearby Ogden. TheSpartans, coached by DickDuvall, had their hearts bro-ken in the 2006 Class 3A cham-pionship game when they lostto Plano, 47-42.
This year’s Spartan squadis led by junior quarterbackEli Oltean. He has completed93 of 159 passes for 1,586 yards
and 16 touchdowns. ConnorJanes scored four times inthe romp over Unity and hasrushed for 595 yards and 12touchdowns.

20 Fan boycott would send message to McCaskeysOne of the most famous
stories in the New Testamentis the parable of the talents,in which a master goes on ajourney and entrusts mon-ey (talents) to three of hisservants.
The servant who receivedfive talents invests the moneyand doubles it. So does theservant who received two tal-ents. The third servant takesthe one talent he received andburies it. When the masterreturns, he’s furious at theservant’s lack of enterpriseand throws him into the dark-ness outside.
I don’t know what the Mc-Caskeys do with the landfillof money they have, but Iknow it doesn’t go towardfootball.
It couldn’t, not with theway the Bears played Sundaynight in a 55-14 loss to thePackers, the way they playedin a 51-23 loss to the Patriotsthe game before or the waythey have played for whatfeels like forever during theMcCaskey family’s owner-ship of the franchise.
People with money and
smarts never would haveallowed a team to get into thestate the Bears are in rightnow, which both the footballand medical communitiesrefer to as “vegetative.”
The only way to send amessage to the McCaskeyfamily is for Bears tickethold-ers not to show up Sunday atSoldier Field for the Vikingsgame. Would a boycottchange anything? Would itmake the McCaskeys un-derstand that their generalmanager doesn’t know howto build a team and that theirhead coach is as passive as aturtle? No, it wouldn’t.
But it sure would feelgood.
It’s the only way for fansto fight back. It’s the onething the McCaskeys seem tounderstand, if only vaguely.Again, I have no idea whatthe family does with the mil-lions and millions of dollars
it has amassed over the years.None of the family membersseems to live ostentatiously.I’d almost feel better if oneof them were driving aroundtown in a Maserati. At leastthe Biblical talent that found-er George Halas had entrust-ed in them would have beenused for something tangible.
Fans should respondSunday with three and a halfhours of nonattendance.
The problem with aboycott, of course, is that itdoesn’t get at the root of theproblem, which is that no oneat Halas Hall seems to knowhow to hire the right people.That starts with the McCas-keys, who bring in peoplewith the same bewilderedlooks on their faces as theyhave. Coach Marc Trestmansaid Monday that, despiteSunday’s embarrassing dis-play, there would be no staffchanges. Of course not.
So I’d like chairmanGeorge McCaskey to arrive atSoldier Field on Sunday andexperience emptiness. I’d likehim to feel a cold wind whip-ping, unblocked, across his
face, to understand how farthis franchise has fallen andto see what that descent hasmeant to fans. The fans whohave tolerated bad footballand ticket-price increasesmuch too often.
But that’s up to the peoplewho have stood by this fran-chise through too much thinand not enough thick. Thedisgust is there. Is the will?It’s not easy turning awayfrom something so import-ant to so many people. Butremember, Cubs fans stoppedselling out Wrigley Field, andchange came, slowly.
Those fans are giving theCubs the benefit of the doubtnow because the team hasspent big money on presidentof baseball operations TheoEpstein and new managerJoe Maddon. No one knowswhether it will pay off, but atleast there’s hope. The Bearshaven’t given their fans anyhope, not even the false kind.They gave their fans generalmanager Phil Emery andTrestman, both low-budgethires.
That’s the reason you
fans should speak withyour absence Sunday. TheMcCaskeys already haveyour money. It’s just sittingthere, doing nothing, like theBears’ defense against AaronRodgers. One of my Facebookfriends dreamed of DallasMavericks owner MarkCuban buying the Bears fromthe McCaskeys. Sorry, butthey have the franchise in adeath grip. You couldn’t prytheir cold fingers from it witha blowtorch.
But maybe you can guiltthem into cleaning houseafter the season and, as Isuggested last week, hiringa football guru to run theorganization. If that doesn’thappen, you can show yourdisgust by not going to thegames next season. The onlything these people under-stand is cash, or at least thecollecting of it. They certain-ly don’t understand winning.
Bury them.

BEARS NOTES
No coaching changes despite consecutive flopsBy KEVIN FISHBAIN
LAKE FOREST – Despiteanother drubbing of a loss,the Bears will not be makingany staff changes, coach MarcTrestman said Monday.
Less than 24 hours aftera 55-14 loss to the Packers atLambeau Field – which cameoff the bye week that followeda 51-23 loss to the Patriots –Trestman addressed the mediaand expressed confidence inhis coaching staff.
“I’ve stood behind the guysthat are working here becauseI’ve been around a lot of coach-es over the years,” Trestmansaid. “I know guys that do itfor the right reasons, that aregreat educators and teachers,are demanding – which ourcoaches are. They’re extreme-ly demanding on the field andin the classroom. I think we’vegot excellent coaches here.”
Tresman’s assessment in-
cludes defensive coordinatorMel Tucker, whose defense islast in the league in allowing30.8 points a game.
“I watch him work everyday. I watch him commu-nicate with these players. Iwatch him work on the fieldwith these players,” Trestmansaid. “To me, he’s doing ev-erything he can under the cir-cumstances to coach, to teachand to lead that side of theball, and he’s got a very goodstaff with him.
“They’re great teachers,they’re veteran coaches whohave been in a lot of situations,as Mel has. He’s been throughthese types of things, and I feelvery confident that he’s doingthe things that he can do tohelp us go forward.”
More scrutiny for Cutler:When combining the first halfof each of the past three games,Jay Cutler is completing 56.2percent of passes and has apasser rating of 52.5, with only
one touchdown to three picks.Trestman was up front thatCutler shares in the blame.
“I think the biggest thingis that Jay has got to play bet-ter. He didn’t play well enough
yesterday, and we didn’t playwell enough, and I’m certainthat he’d take accountabili-ty for that,” he said. “But it’svery clear he didn’t play wellenough yesterday. We can’t su-
garcoat that. At the same time,we didn’t play collectively wellenough as a team.”
No ground game: The pre-vailing thought was that theBears would run all over thePackers, as they did in Week 4,and that would be a recipe foran upset. Instead, Matt Fortemanaged only 54 yards on 17carries. The running gamedidn’t work early, and whenthe Bears got down quickly,they had to start throwing.The Packers had an answeron the first few drives to stopForte.
“Most of the runs in thegame were called runs, and wedidn’t have the positive gains,”Trestman said. “We were leftwith the chains, not gettingahead of the chains with someof the runs, as well. That reallyhurt us because they were upin there tight. They were re-ally pressuring us throughoutthe game and trying to takeour running game away.”

WHAT TO WATCH
MLB ROOKIES OF THE YEAR
BULLS 102, PISTONS 91
Sox’s Abreu named AL’s top rookieBy RONALD BLUMThe Associate Press
NEW YORK – White Sox firstbaseman Jose Abreu was a unan-imous winner of the AL Rookieof the Year award, and New YorkMets pitcher Jacob deGrom wonthe NL honor.
“I don’t have any words todescribe this moment,” Abreusaid through a translator on theMLB Network telecast Monday.“I consider myself a good hitter,and I guess I’ve proven it.”
One year after defecting fromCuba, the 27-year-old Abreu ledthe major leagues with a .581slugging percentage. He wassixth in batting at .317, tied forfourth in home runs with 36 andfifth in RBIs with 107.
Abreu received all 30 firstplace votes for 150 points in bal-loting by the Baseball Writers’Association of America.
Los Angeles Angels right-hander Matt Shoemaker wassecond with 40 points, followedby New York Yankees relieverDellin Betances (27), Houston
pitcher Collin McHugh (21) andYankees pitcher Masahiro Tana-ka (16), who was hurt for most ofthe season’s second half.
Abreu hit .383 with threehomers and nine RBIs for Cubaat last year’s World BaseballClassic, then defected that sum-mer and signed a $68 million, six-year contract with the White Soxin October.
He became the first quali-fying rookie to lead the majorleagues in slugging percentagesince Oakland’s Mark McGwirein 1987, according to STATS.
Abreu is the sixth White Soxplayer to earn the honor follow-ing Luis Aparicio (1956), GaryPeters (1963), Tommie Agee(1966), Ron Kittle (1983) andOzzie Guillen (1985).
DeGrom received 26 of 30first-place votes and 142 points.Speedy Cincinnati outfielderBilly Hamilton was second withfour firsts and 92 points.
With his shoulder-length hairflapping out from under his cap,deGrom was a hit right from thestart of his major league career.
He made his debut against theYankees on May 15, a month be-fore his 26th birthday, and histhird-inning single ended an0-for-64 start to the season at theplate for New York’s pitchers,the worst slide to open a seasonin major league history.
“Even coming into this year, Ididn’t know what to expect,” saiddeGrom, who started the seasonin Triple-A. “It all worked out.”
DeGrom went 0-4 with a 4.39ERA in his first seven starts,then won at Miami with sevenscoreless innings on June 21. Hewent on to win nine of his last 11decisions, compiling a 1.99 ERA,and finished 9-6 with a 2.69 ERA.
On Aug. 2, deGrom took a no-hit bid into the seventh inningagainst San Francisco beforePablo Sandoval’s two-out double.He achieved another bit of noto-riety against the Marlins on Sept.15, striking Miami’s first eightbatters to tie the record for whiffsat the start of a game. DeGromjoined Houston’s Jim Deshaiesin 1986 as the only pitchers to ac-complish the feat since 1900.
Rose returns from injuries, nets24 points to help Bulls topDetroit
By JAY COHENThe Associated Press
CHICAGO – Derrick Rosehad 24 points and seven assistsin his return to the lineup, andthe balanced Bulls beat the De-troit Pistons, 102-91, Mondaynight.
Rose was 9 for 20 from thefield in 33 minutes after beingsidelined by sprained ankles.The 2011 NBA MVP had missedfour of the previous five gamesafter he was injured in a 114-108overtime loss to Cleveland onOct. 31.
Pau Gasol had 17 points and15 rebounds for the Bulls, andJoakim Noah finished with 13points, 14 boards and six assists.The Bulls outrebounded the Pis-tons, 49-46, after they had lostthe battle on the glass in the pre-vious six games, rankling hard-nosed coach Tom Thibodeau.
Josh Smith had 19 points and11 rebounds for Detroit, which
was coming off a 97-96 home lossto Utah on Sunday. Greg Monroehad 16 points and 10 boards, andreserve D.J. Augustin scored 16.
Pistons center Andre Drum-mond, who began the game ina jersey that had his name mis-spelled on the back, grabbed 12rebounds, but was 0 for 5 fromthe field and finished with twopoints.
The Pistons trailed by asmany as 19, but Kyle Singler hada layup and Augustin made along jumper to trim Chicago’slead to 90-88 with 2:43 remain-ing.
Gasol responded with aclutch jumper, and Smithmissed a 3-pointer on the otherend for Detroit. Rose then camedown and found Jimmy Butlerfor a 3, making it 95-88 with 1:56left.
Rose also hit a key jumperand two foul shots to help theBulls hold on down the stretch.
Detroit dropped the opener
of a four-game trip to fall to 0-3on the road this season. Bran-don Jennings had 11 points andeight assists, but also committedfour turnovers.
Butler had 19 points for theBulls, including 4-for-7 shootingfrom 3-point range.
Rose got off to a fast start,scoring eight points in the firstsix minutes, and then helped theBulls grab control in the secondquarter.
The Bulls used a 15-2 run toopen a 53-37 lead with 2:26 leftin the half. Rose closed out thesurge with a short jumper andassists on a fast-break dunk anda jumper by Gasol.
Rose saved his best play ofthe night for the final secondsof the quarter, when he faked across-court pass in midair, andthen fired underneath to Noahfor a layup. The flashy move wasreminiscent of Rose’s MVP sea-son in 2011 and helped the Bullsto a 60-44 lead at the break.

‘A very determined, passionate person’Manhattan Air Force captain doesn’t let traumatic brain injury squelch his drive
By JEANNE MILLSAPShaw Media Correspondent
MANHATTAN – U.S. AirForce Capt. Anthony Simoneis lucky to be alive.
Simone doesn’t rememberanything about the day whenhis helicopter was shot downin the skies over Afghanistan.
He just knows what he’sbeen told: As a helicopter pi-lot, his missions were searchand rescues. He estimates hesaved about 200 servicemenand women during his threetours of duty – two in Iraqand one in Afghanistan.
Simone was due to gohome one week before he wasshot down. His mission thatday was a search and res-cue of two wounded Britishsoldiers. Five of the sevencrewmen in the chopper diedfrom the blast.
“I would do it again,” Sim-one said. “If it wasn’t me thatwas shot down, it would havebeen someone else.”
A traumatic brain inju-ry, or TBI, can happen inthe blink of an eye – fromslipping on an icy sidewalk,from a car accident or play-ing sports or, in the case ofSimone, from falling 150 feetout of the sky.
An estimated one in fiveof the 2.3 million troopswho have served in combatsince 2001 have suffered abrain injury and/or devel-oped post-traumatic stressdisorder, according to theNov. 5 edition of the MilitaryTimes. And scientists fromfive institutions are one yearinto a five-year, $42.9 millionstudy to find biomarkers thatcan indicate evidence of theseinjuries common to combatveterans.
Brain injuries can becomplex as well; and asboxers know well, a blow toone side of the head can affectneurons on the opposite side.Symptoms depend on whicharea of the brain is damagedand can range from ringingin the ears, blurred vision
and moodiness to seizures,numbness or weakness in thelimbs, memory impairmentand disrupted sleep patterns.
Many TBI patients can re-claim the parts of their brainthat were damaged; but forothers, the injuries will causehuge challenges the rest oftheir lives.
A concussion is one of themildest forms of traumaticbrain injuries. More severeTBIs can alter the entire fab-ric of a life.
Simone’s wife, Andrea,will always remember themorning her doorbell rangwith the news. A militaryfriend had told her a heli-copter had been shot downin the war zone, but the twohad heard it was of a differenttype from the one her hus-band flew.
Andrea was sitting on thefloor with their 8-month-oldson watching “The TodayShow” air a segment aboutthe incident. Not 10 minutes
later, a commander and adirector were at the door.Simone, they told her, was incritical condition and in sur-gery. The next time she sawhim, he was in a San Antoniohospital in a coma
“He was so swollen, andhis head was wrapped,” An-drea said. “He was intubat-ed.”
Simone had no brokenbones, but the damage to hisbrain was immense. Simonewas in a coma for six weeksand an inpatient in varioushospitals for a year. Now, 4½years after the crash, he’sdown to therapy one day eachweek.
Today, Simone has littleuse of his left arm, and hewalks with a limp. He hasspasms in one side of hisbody; and his wife said hehas cognitive difficulties,such as remembering thingsand carrying out more-com-plicated tasks. He did riseto a self-imposed challenge
two years ago, however, andclimbed the 102 staircases ofthe Willis Tower in Chicago,his Marine Corps father rightbehind him.
“I got sick and tired ofpeople thinking I couldn’t,”Simone said.
Simone, Andrea and theirtwo children are next in linefor a custom-built, handi-capped-accessible house thatwill be constructed for themby Homes for Our Troops, anonprofit organization thatbuilds specially adapted,mortgage-free homes for themost severely injured veter-ans from Iraq and Afghani-stan.
The group’s goal is “to re-store some of the freedom andindependence our veteranssacrificed defending ours.”That would do wonders forSimone, whom Andrea called“a very determined, passion-ate person.”
“He still has the sameamount of love he’s alwayshad,” Andrea said, “and he’sa good father.”
Simone, who used to enjoyhunting, described his life as“challenging,” but he is readyand willing to return to theworking world. That’s a bighole in his life he needs to fill,he said.
“I’m trying to find a job,”he said. “I need something todo. I would love to do any-thing to help people that arein the hospital.”

Traumatic brain injury facts

CROSSWORD SUDOKU BRIDGE by Phillip Alder
CELEBRITY CIPHER
PUZZLES
Joe Martin, a syndicated cartoon-ist, said, “If it weren’t for my lawyer,I’d still be in prison. It went a lotfaster with two people digging.”
Two-suiters are powerful ... if youfind a fit with partner. In general, thequicker you show your suits, the bet-ter. In this deal, after West openedone spade, North overcalled twono-trump, the Unusual No-Trump,to guarantee at least five cards ineach of the lowest-ranking unbidsuits: clubs and diamonds. After Eastpassed, South gave preference withthree diamonds. What should Northhave done now?
With a weak hand, North wouldhave passed; with a middling hand,he would have flipped a coin -- per-haps raised quietly to four diamonds;but with such a big hand, he had toforce to game.
And just in case there was amagic fit, he rebid four hearts. Thiswas a splinter bid, which usuallywould have indicated a singleton,but in this case strongly suggesteda void. And it promised a huge handbecause it was a slam-try opposite apartner who had promised nothing.
Here, of course, South signedoff in five diamonds, hoping partnerwould get the message.
Against five diamonds, West ledthe spade ace, cashed the spadeking, and shifted to a trump. Declarercashed a second trump, then turnedto clubs, ruffing the third round in hishand. He then ruffed a heart high inthe dummy, drew East’s last trump,and claimed.
Always try to show a two-suit-er in one bid rather than two, sopartner can evaluate his handimmediately.

HOROSCOPE
Dear Doctor K: Myteenage daughter hashad Type 1 diabetessince she was 8 years old.Fortunately, exercise,a good diet and insulintreatments have kept herhealthy. I recently heardof a breakthrough at Har-vard that might somedaycure Type 1 diabetes. Canyou explain?
Dear Reader: The re-search you’re referringto was conducted in theHarvard laboratory ofDr. Douglas Melton.Like you, Dr. Meltonhas a child with Type 1diabetes. When his childbecame sick, he redirect-ed his laboratory to thegoal of finding a cure.
First, some basics.When we eat, sugar(called glucose) getsabsorbed into the blood-stream. Almost everycell in our body needsglucose to functionnormally. However, thecells prefer a steady levelof glucose in the blood-- not too high, not toolow, but just right (likeGoldilocks).
To keep the glucoselevel steady, the pan-creas – a finger-shapedorgan in our abdomen– makes insulin. Specif-ically, when we eat andblood levels of glucoserise, cells in the pancreascalled beta cells makeinsulin. Insulin drivesglucose from the bloodand into cells throughoutthe body. This lowersblood levels of glucose.
Type 1 diabetes is anautoimmune disease.For reasons that remainunclear, the immune sys-tem attacks and kills betacells. As a result, peoplewith Type 1 diabetes nolonger can make theirown insulin. Withoutinsulin treatments, bloodglucose levels rise dan-gerously high, and otherdamaging changes occurin body chemistry.
People with Type 1diabetes require insulinevery day to remain ingood health. The discov-ery of insulin treatment
for diabetes (in partby scientists here atHarvard) was a NobelPrize-winning accom-plishment. But it wasnot a cure. For years,scientists have dreamedof somehow replacing thebeta cells that have beenkilled by the disease.
The discovery of stemcells – cells that havethe potential to developinto different types ofbody cells – was excitingfor medical research.Among other uses, stemcells theoretically canbe coaxed into becom-ing cells that have beenkilled by disease -- likebeta cells in Type 1diabetes. However, untilnow, no one has figuredout a technique for trans-forming stem cells intobeta cells, in the largenumber required to re-place the beta cells killedby the disease.
Dr. Melton’s teamseems to have accom-plished that feat. Theyhave been able to createbillions of beta cells fromone person’s stem cells.When the cells wereplaced inside diabet-ic mice, they startedmaking insulin in justthe right amounts: Bloodlevels of glucose werenot too high, not too low,but just right. It will beyears before we know ifthis treatment will workin humans. If it worksin the short-run, will itcontinue to work -- willthe cells truly produce acure? And will they do sowithout causing compli-cations?
So while this researchdoes not represent acure, it is likely to be alandmark event on theroad to a cure.
Stem cell research may leadto cure for Type 1 diabetes

Dear Abby: I had weight-loss surgery three yearsago. I am down 100 poundsand feel great. I’m new inthe dating game and won-der if I’m supposed to dis-close that I was previously100 pounds overweight. Isit any of their business, ordo I not address the topic?– Less of Me in California
Dear Less: I don’t thinkyour health history needsto be announced right fromthe “git-go.” As peopledate, get to know eachother, become comfortableand eventually intimate,more and more informa-tion is revealed. When it’sappropriate to discuss it,you will know.
Dear Abby: I am a widow-er and am dating a divor-cee. We have been togetherfor about 18 months. Shesays she loves me andwants to get married. I likeher and enjoy her com-pany, but that is it. I alsohave no desire to marry, orlive with anyone, again.
I would like to end itand let her continue in hersearch for a husband, butevery time I try to do it shecries. How can I tell her Iam not the one? – Not theOne in Wisconsin
Dear Not the One: You andthis lady have very differ-ent objectives. I assumethat if she has burst intotears she has alreadygotten your message. Myadvice is instead of repeat-ing it, to stop calling her.However, if you feel that toachieve closure there mustbe a face-to-face conver-sation, approach it with alarge box of tissues in your
hand and repeat what youhave written to me.
Dear Abby: For the firsttime, I am hosting mynephew and his familyfor Thanksgiving. I abhortexting and any electronicamusements that deterface-to-face family commu-nication. I need to knowthe best way to explain –before they arrive – that itis not allowed in my home.– Hostess With Rules inNorth Carolina
Dear Hostess With Rules:Transmit your message theold-fashioned way. Call andtell them your wishes sothey’ll have plenty of timeto make other plans if theyfeel unable to comply withyour “house rules.” It willalso give you enough timeto invite other guests inthe event that your nephewand his family are so ad-dicted to their electronicsthat they can’t comfortablyabide by your wishes.
Dear veterans: I saluteeach and every one of youfor your service to thiscountry. My thanks as wellto the brave and dedicatedmen and women who arestill on active duty. Youare the personification ofpatriotism and self-sacri-fice for your dedication toour country. – Abby
