JOLIET – Terry D’Arcy has sold hisVolkswagen dealership, and the newowner is having a homecoming of sorts.

D’Arcy Volkswagen was sold Tuesdayto the Hawk Auto Group, whose ownersinclude John Crane. Crane is a LockportTownship High School graduate whosefather was a sales manager at Joliet deal-erships in the 1970s and early 1980s.

Noting his familiarity with the area,Crane said, “I know Joliet is a good cartown.”

Hawk Auto took over managementof the Joliet Volkswagen dealership onWednesday. The general manager of thedealership is Damian Gabrus, a Plain-field resident.

Hawk Auto Group also has dealer-ships in Bridgeview, Oak Lawn, ForestPark and Niles.

The sale was in the works for a coupleof months and was completed Tuesday,D’Arcy said.

D’Arcy said he sold the Volkswagenbusiness to devote more time and moneyto his other two Joliet dealerships. Healso owns a Buick-GMC dealership and aHyundai dealership.

“I’m going to redeploy capital to thoseother facilities,” D’Arcy said Wednesday.

D’Arcy opened the current Volkswa-gen location at 2861 W. Jefferson St. inApril 2012, moving his Volkswagen busi-ness from a nearby dealership where hewas selling the brand with Hyundai ve-hicles.

“I’ve had that [Volkswagen] franchisefor 22 years, and I’ve always had it withanother brand,” D’Arcy said. Volkswa-gen, however, wanted its cars sold froma single-brand dealership, and that’s whyhe opened the new store, D’Arcy said.

The location was a Saturn dealership

before General Motors discontinued thatbrand.

D’Arcy said his plans include expan-sions at both his Buick-GMC business,located at 2022 Essington Road, and theHyundai dealership at 2521 W. JeffersonSt.

He had recently spent $1.3 million re-modeling the Buick-GMC dealership.

Crane, who grew up in Homer Town-ship and graduated from Lockport Town-ship High School in 1983, said his father,Tom, was a sales manager for two Jolietdealerships and ran a used-car businessin Joliet before getting a new-car fran-chise.

Crane, along with Gus Kreatsoulas, isa principal owner of Hawk Auto Group,which includes other investors.

“We will want to reach out to the com-munity,” Crane said. “We’re going totake good care of the customers, and we’lltake care of them for the long haul.”

MORRIS – Hanukkah rep-resents not only religious free-dom, but community and con-nection for the Berman andEnglish families.

The two families came to-gether Wednesday evening inMorris for the second night ofHanukkah to light menorahsand celebrate. The families aremembers of the Joliet JewishCongregation, which on Sun-day celebrated the holiday be-fore it began.

Robin English said Ha-nukkah – sometimes spelledChanukah or Chanukkah – isabout community.

Families connect with oneanother to celebrate a holi-day that is meant to celebratethe Jewish rebellion in the2nd Century B.C. against theGreeks who tried to imposetheir Hellenistic way of life onthem, according to Chabad, aJewish information website.

“It’s to celebrate and shareour religion,” English said.

She said it’s an approach-able and nonthreatening hol-iday for Jewish and non-Jew-ish people that doesn’t drawdisputes.

Hanukkah is an eight-dayfestival of lights that beganTuesday and will end Dec. 24.During the holiday, candlesare attached to a menorah andcandles are lit each night. Asingle candle is lit on the firstnight, followed by two on thesecond evening. On the eighthnight, all the candles are lit.

After each candle is lit, aprayer is sung.

For the celebration, En-glish, her husband Mike andher two children visited Lew-is and Wendy Berman, alongwith their children. The Ber-man household was decorat-ed with blue lights and meno-rahs.

Each person had their ownpersonalized menorah. Somewere passed down from par-ents, others looked like a tub

filled with ducklings or a rampwith motorcycle riders.

After lighting the meno-rahs with two candles – usinganother helper candle – thefamily said a prayer and thenheaded into the kitchen to playwith dreidels and eat latkes, orpotato pancakes.

The food enjoyed duringHanukkah is potato pancakesor jelly donuts, English said.The food is cooked with oil.

English brought along herextensive collection of dreidelsthat were used later on for thechildren to play for coins.

Even though Hanukkahis not considered the Jewishequivalent of Christmas, Lew-is Berman said gifts are giv-en to the children each night.

Some families give big gifts onthe first night or on the lastnight, he said.

“It’s so the kids don’t feelleft out, because they see otherkids with Christmas gifts,” hesaid.

Lewis Berman said he re-members celebrating Hanuk-kah as a child and anticipatingthe lighting of the candles. Healso enjoyed looking for thegifts but his parents alwaystried to hide them from him.

Wendy Berman said Ha-nukkah is considered a minorholiday in Israel. She said sheusually has to explain to oth-ers it’s not like Christmas.

“Usually the only simi-larity is it’s around the sametime,” she said.

Daybreak Center in Joliet faces freezer problem

By BRIAN [email protected]

JOLIET – A shelter that pro-vides warmth and warm mealsto the homeless has a problem:There’s no way to keep thingsvery cold for the next few

weeks.The freezer at Catholic Char-

ities Daybreak Center needsto be replaced. Developmentand Communications Direc-tor Kathleen Langdon said theunit, which is about “a half-room size,” has been failing forabout a year.

“We’ve made repairs, butit’s now at the point of no re-turn,” Langdon said. “The sealsacross the freezer are broken.

They don’t make parts for thisanymore.”

It is believed the freezer unithas been in the building for atleast 75 years. Daybreak beganoperations there in 1993.

It will take four weeks tobuild a new freezer and will cost$22,500, Langdon said. Catho-lic Charities has raised $8,500toward the cost so far, but willhave to take money away fromother programs unless further

donations come in.“We have people who are

hungry and need to be served,”Langdon said.

The shelter, which alsoruns a soup kitchen calledShepherd’s Table, receives do-nations from restaurants andgrocery stores that have to befrozen. Langdon said using foodthat is near but hasn’t reachedan expiration date keeps ser-vices viable. Daybreak serves

86,170 meals annually.Langdon said Hollywood

Casino has offered space in itsfreezers while the replacementis underway. Daybreak Centeris busiest during the holidayseason and also serves mealsto anyone who uses the facilityas a “warming center” in coldweather, she said.

Anyone wishing to donatetoward the freezer is asked tocontact Langdon at 815-723-3405.

Residents:Wewill raise funds for RialtoBy VIKAAS SHANKER

[email protected]

JOLIET – A group of res-idents told the governingboard of the Rialto SquareTheatre they would ratherraise their own money forconstruction of the theater’snew marquee than accept thecurrent designs.

Several dozen residentsattended a public hearingWednesday of the Will Coun-ty Metropolitan Expositionand Auditorium Authority,or WCMEAA, during a pub-lic hearing about the mar-quee’s construction at theboard’s regular meeting.

The new marquee designwas unveiled late last month;Ed Czerkies, a local business-man, donated $350,000 for theproject. It includes modernelements like a digital dis-play for upcoming acts, anda space at the bottom thatwould read “In Memory ofMichael & Mary Czerkies,”as a tribute to Czerkies’ par-ents.

Residents asked the boardabout the planning processbehind the marquee, whichthey said is too big. Manyalso feel the tribute to thedonor’s parents should be re-moved.

“If you needed that mon-ey, you should have cometo us,” Joliet resident MaryBeth Gannon said, addingshe was willing to sell herown antiques to help fund

the marquee. “We wouldhave raised more money.”

Funding ramificationsWCMEAA Chair James

Smith said several conversa-tions with Czerkies revealedthat Czerkies may pull fund-ing if the tribute to his parentsis taken off the design for themarquee.

“He remained somewhatfirm in his desire to see themarquee planned as neces-sary,” Smith said.

Edward Jarot Jr., a local at-torney who has been involvedwith The Rialto Theatre Foun-

dation, said Czerkies donatedthe money with the stipulationit would be used for the mar-quee, and the design wouldneed to be approved by Czer-kies.

Another criticism of it byarea residents is they feel thenew marquee doesn’t conformwith the historic nature of thebuilding.

Residents have taken to so-cial media to vent about themarquee, requested the Illi-nois Attorney General’s Officelook into the process behindthe marquee, called on cityofficials to withhold funding

from the Rialto, and protestedoutside the theater Sunday.

Rialto General ManagerRandy Green said the newmarquee is about 75 percentcomplete, and if the design isscrapped, it could cost the Ri-alto about $550,000.

Smith said Czerkies is opento alternative designs to thesigns, but still wants somesort of memorialization of hisparents on the marquee. TheRialto’s leadership still needsto talk with Czerkies, who isplanning to meet with familyto discuss changes in the de-sign.

Public fundingOn Wednesday, several res-

idents turned their attention toCzerkies’ stipulation that thetribute to his parents shouldbe a part of the marquee.

“I just want Mr. Czerkies toknow that his donation doesnot fall on deaf ears,” Jolietresident Sara Wittchen said.“But I’m a little insulted bythe fact that he wanted to pullhis donation when he foundout he couldn’t have it hisway.”

Robert Hernandez was con-cerned about the level of trans-parency behind the marqueeproject.

“They should have had ameeting like this with the pub-lic before they started this,” hesaid. “Citizens have donatedmillions of dollars to the the-ater. It should be their namesif anyone’s. They should havecome to us for funding.”

Wittchen said she createda GoFundMe account, “SaveRialto Theater Marquee” onWednesday, and hopes to usecrowdsourcing to raise at least$100,000 for the marquee. Ithad $150 as of 9 p.m. Wednes-day.

Other residents, includingCouncilman Bob O’Derkirkwho is the WCMEAA liaisonto the Joliet City Council, saidthe project should be put onpause while discussion on themarquee continues.

As of Wednesday, Greensaid there are no plans to haltconstruction.

City Council trying to push for‘people-mover’ at rail platform

By LAUREN LEONE–[email protected]

JOLIET – The city is doingwhat it can to keep pressureon Amtrak in hopes of improv-ing accommodations for peo-ple with disabilities at Joliet’stemporary commuter platformdowntown, City Manager JimHock said.

But it’s unclear whetherthose efforts will do much tochange how quickly Amtrakcan follow through.

At issue is the 216-foot-longramp leading up to the board-ing area at Jefferson Street andMayor Schultz Drive. Whilethe design is compliant withthe Americans with Disabili-ties Act, some commuters inrecent weeks have complainedto City Council members thatit’s quite a challenge to reachthe top.

A “people-mover” – trans-port to help people with dis-abilities navigate up the rampwith luggage – could help alle-viate the problem. Amtrak, thenation’s passenger rail system,typically deploys these peo-ple-movers at busier stationsacross the U.S. where bags arechecked, Amtrak spokesmanMarc Magliari said Tuesday,

so Amtrak would be makingan exception for the smallerstation in Joliet.

Amtrak’s district managerfor this region is reviewing thematter. But problems remain,such as whether Amtrak hasa people-mover available,Magliari said.

“It’s not like there’s a sur-plus of them waiting for as-signment,” he said. “We don’thave a warehouse and havestockpiles. They’re all as-signed to areas.”

It’s possible Amtrak willbuy another people-mover,Hock told council membersTuesday night.

The ramp was designedwide enough so Amtrak’splanned “people movers”could navigate easily. But thenthere’s the issue of Metra’s re-cent construction of two tem-porary shelters, Hock said.The construction potentially

blocks the turning radius forthe people-mover, he said.

Pam Heavens, executivedirector for the Will-GrundyCenter for Independent Liv-ing, said she sent a letter earli-er this month to both U.S. Rep.Bill Foster, D-Naperville, andU.S. Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., ask-ing for help in expediting theprocess. While Heavens saidshe hasn’t personally receivedany complaints, she would liketo see improvements made atthe platform for people withdisabilities.

At Tuesday night’s CityCouncil meeting, Hock toldcouncil members he’s in con-tact with Amtrak about the is-sue, but Amtrak hasn’t giventhe city a time commitment asto when a people-mover couldbe provided.

Foster issued a statementsaying staff is working on theproblem.

“It is unacceptable thatthis problem has not been re-solved,” Foster said. “My staffhas reached out to Amtrak toensure that they are workingto address this issue. Theyneed to take immediate actionso that all members of the pub-lic can safely and easily navi-gate the platform.”

Topinka remembered forherhumor, service atmemorial

By MATTHEW [email protected]

COUNTRYSIDE – Therewasn’t a person in attendanceat Wednesday’s memorial forthe late Illinois ComptrollerJudy Baar Topinka who didn’tremark on her feisty person-ality, humor and commitmentto the people of Illinois whenasked their impression of thelongtime public servant.

Topinka, a longtime River-side resident, requested thatno wake or funeral be held,but allowed her family, friendsand colleagues to rememberher with a memorial service.She died Dec. 10 after a stroke.

Cook County Commis-sioner Jeff Tobolski said hethought of Topinka as a men-tor and respected her ability towork across the aisle – or withanyone for that matter – to getthe job done.

“[Topinka] always sawthings through to the end,” To-bolski recalled. “What a greatloss for the state of Illinois.”

As Gov.-elect Bruce Raunerrecalled during his remarks,Tobolski said that just daysfter her death, he receiveda tin of holiday cookies fromTopinka. Tobolski said giftslike that were not uncommon,and he fondly recalled receiv-ing her signature newspaperclippings with notes when shefelt a good job was done by therecipient.

The memorial began with arendition of “Amazing Grace”sung by the Salem BaptistChurch Choir and was fol-lowed with a procession ofthe Illinois State Police ColorGuard.

Joseph Birkett, judge forthe second district of IllinoisAppellate Court and Topinka’srunning mate during her 2006bid for governor, led as mas-ter of ceremonies. He recalledpicking Topinka up at 6 a.m.the first morning of the 2006campaign. With her trade-mark large coffee in hand, shegot into the car with Birkettonly to have the bottom of itfall out onto her lap.

“It’s a good thing I woredark pants; let’s go,” he re-called her saying.

Gov. Pat Quinn remem-

bered Topinka as a politicianwho went the extra mile – andthen some.

“She volunteered for verydifficult and challenging as-signments throughout herlife,” Quinn said. “She wasalways known for telling thetruth – a truth teller … shespoke from her heart and toldthe truth.”

Considered a political out-sider, especially early in hercareer, Topinka served as apolitician to the beat of herown drum and knew how to getpeople to work together – evenwhen it might put her oppositeher party and open her to crit-icism. She was a Republicanwho was pro-gay marriage,pro-union and pro-choice.

Rauner said Topinka ledthe “ultimate life” during hisremarks and praised her loy-alty and commitment to publicservice.

LOTS OF LAUGHTERTopinka, who began her

career as a journalist, mighthave enjoyed the commentsby Rich Miller, publisher ofIllinois politics blog CapitalFax, and radio personality RoeConn most – both for their lev-ity and their directness.

Conn especially broughtmany to tears during hisremarks, not through sad-ness, but laughter. Riffing onQuinn’s comment, Conn calledTopinka a “truth screamer”and said she was a politicianwho could be counted on to tellit straight.

Keeping the memorial filledwith laughter and happy mem-ories was longtime friend andchief of staff Nancy Kimme,who spoke of her admiration– and frustration – with Topin-ka’s straight talk. She addedthat Topinka’s personality al-ways filled the room.

“Judy always liked to playto a full house,” Kimme saidof the number of people in at-tendance. “So she would havebeen delighted today.”

Others joked she wouldhave wanted them to hold afundraiser at the event.

CALL TO ACTIONA serious and recurring

theme throughout the cere-mony was best said by formerGov. Jim Thompson, whospoke of Topinka’s ability towork with people of all walksof life, her commitment tomaking the state better for itsresidents and the necessity forall sides to work together to ac-complish that goal.

Thompson called on thosein attendance to find ways tocompromise and work togeth-er to solve the lengthy list ofissues before the state.

“So if we really respectedour departed friend and re-ally want to do something inher memory at this memorial,we could take a vow to worktogether … to move the peo-ple forward,” Thompson said.“Or, as Judy might say, ‘Wegot them here, lock the doors,order the pizzas, we’re gonnastart now.’ ”

By Denise Freese

Making the decision to at-tend Cosmetology School wasthe easy part. You wanted tofind a career that offered fun,flexibility, and career advance-ment opportunities - so nowyou’re faced with the choiceof where to get your training.

The best first step is tomeet with admissions coun-selors at several cosmetolo-gy schools that interest you.Bring a notebook with ques-tions you’ve prepared aheadof time.

ty, salons, and beauty events*Classroom atmosphere

toring from instructorsAfter obtaining all the rel-

evant information, compareyour notes against your list ofpriorities, and see how theymeasure up.

Nichols , 64 , al legedlystruck his wife Diane, 57, witha car on Jan. 26, 2013, in thegarage of their home in the16000 block of Arborvitae Cir-cle. Jerry Nichols called for anambulance and paramedics ar-

rived to allegedly see the Viet-nam veteran stomping on hiswife’s head.

Nichols ’ lawyers saidstress from accidentally hit-ting his wife with the car trig-gered post-traumatic stressdisorder, which led to thestomping.

In July, Judge Robert Li-vas, who has since retired,said Dr. Orest Wasyliw’s re-port on Nichols was “circular[and] redundant,” and barredit from the case. Livas agreedwith Assistant Will CountyState’s Attorney John Connorthat Wasyliw’s conclusionswere “speculative.”

But Livas allowed Ettingerto submit amended reports.

Carlson said Tuesday hewill review the report andhold a hearing next month.Both sides told Carlson theyexpect to proceed to trial in thespring.

New test plans outlined at Joliet Township high schoolsBy SARWAT S. AHMADShaw Media Correspondent

JOLIET – Freshmen insteadof juniors at Joliet TownshipHigh School District 204 will takethe new assessments replacingthe Prairie State AchievementExams in the spring semester.

The school board heard aboutthe test plans at the same meet-ing this week where it approveda previously proposed tax levythat will increase taxes by about$16 on a $150,000 home.

The Partnership for Assess-ment of Readiness for Collegeand Careers, or PARCC, will begiven at Joliet Township high

schools for the first time thisspring.

Joliet high school freshmeninstead of juniors will take thenew state-mandated assess-ments, administrators said.

Superintendent Cheryl Mc-Carthy told the board Tuesdaythat on Dec. 1 the Illinois StateBoard of Education sent anemail to high school districtsgiving them the option to admin-ister the PARCC to high schoolfreshmen instead of juniors thisyear.

Since 2002, Illinois had re-quired that juniors take the Prai-rie State Achievement Exams,which include the ACT college

entrance exam, but those arenow optional for school districts.

The district had only fourdays to make a decision and isnow “frantically readjusting itstesting schedules,” but is happywith the change, which is some-thing high school administra-tors across the state have beenrequesting, McCarthy said.

More information will becommunicated to parents oncethe district has set its schedules,she said.

McCarthy said the decisionalso makes sense because itmeans fewer exams for juniors,

who will continue to take thenow optional ACT and the ACTWork Keys exams.

Tax increaseThe board approved a $63.74

million property tax levy thathad been proposed at a Novem-ber meeting, when the impacton tax bills also was outlined.It is up 4.9 percent from the lastlevy.

District officials estimatethat the property tax bill will goup about $9 for a $100,000 home,$16 for a $150,000 home, and $22for a $200,000 home.

The estimated tax rate isabout 2.51 percent, up from 2.34percent.

Strategic planDistrict 204 is working

on a five-year strategic planfor school improvement andneeds parents and communi-ty members to volunteer to bepart of the process, McCarthysaid. The action teams work-ing on the plan will have week-ly meetings in January, Febru-ary and March with a possibleapproval of the plan expectedin April.

U.S., Cuba patch up tornrelations in historic accord

By JULIE PACEand MATTHEW LEEThe Associated Press

WASHINGTON – After ahalf-century of Cold War ac-rimony, the United States andCuba moved on Wednesday torestore diplomatic relations– a historic shift that couldrevitalize the flow of moneyand people across the narrowwaters that separate the twonations.

President Barack Obama’sdramatic announcement inWashington – seconded byCuban President Raul Castroin Havana – was accompaniedby a quiet exchange of impris-oned spies and the celebra-tory release of American AlanGross, a government contractworker who had been held inCuba for five years.

The shift in U.S.-Cuba pol-icy was the culmination of18 months of secret talks be-tween the longtime foes thatincluded a series of meetings

in Canada and the personalinvolvement of Pope Francisat the Vatican. It also markedan extraordinary undertak-ing by Obama without Con-gress’ authorization as hecharts the waning years of hispresidency.

“These 50 years haveshown that isolation has notworked,” Obama declared atthe White House. “It’s timefor a new approach.”

Obama spoke as Castro wasaddressing his nation in Ha-vana, where church bells rangand school teachers pausedlessons to mark the news.Castro said that although theU.S. and Cuba remain at oddson many matters, “we shouldlearn the art of living togetherin a civilized manner in spiteof our differences.”

Obama’s plans for remak-ing U.S. relations with Cubaare sweeping: He aims to ex-pand economic ties, open anembassy in Havana, sendhigh-ranking U.S. officials

including Secretary of StateJohn Kerry to visit and re-view Cuba’s designation asa state sponsor of terrorism.The U.S. also is easing re-strictions on travel to Cuba,including for family visits,official government businessand educational activities.But tourist travel remainsbanned.

Obama and Castro spokeby telephone Tuesday fornearly an hour, the first pres-idential-level call betweentheir nations’ leaders sincethe 1959 Cuban revolutionand the approval of a U.S. eco-nomic embargo on the com-munist island that sits just 90miles off coast of Florida. Thetwo men also are expected tomeet at a regional summit inPanama next spring.

Obama did not rule outtraveling to Cuba before hispresidency ends, telling ABCNews: “I don’t have any cur-rent plans to visit Cuba, butlet’s see how things evolve.”

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

Hannah Kohut, Bob Okonand Kate Schott

Keep chipping away at clemency requestsIt was encouraging to

read in Sunday’s SpringfieldState Journal-Register thatGovernor-elect Bruce Raunerintends to make clemency andpardon decisions a priorityfor his administration.

Clemency decisions are animportant responsibility forevery Illinois governor.

Unfortunately, formergovernor Rod Blagojevich

didn’t see it that way. Citizensseeking clemency under hisadministration desperatelywaited for responses from hisoffice, but in hundreds of cas-es, responses never came.

After Blagojevich was re-moved from office and sent tofederal prison, Gov. Pat Quinninherited a staggering backlogof more than 2,500 petitionsfrom the Blagojevich adminis-

tration.To his credit, Quinn effec-

tively eliminated the backlog.Since becoming governorin 2009, he has made 3,358clemency decisions and issued1,239 pardons. Even as heworked to clear the Blagoje-vich-era backlog, additionalrequests continued to flood in.

Every year, the state’sPrisoner Review Board sends

the governor hundreds ofscreened petitions from peo-ple who committed nonviolentcrimes at some point in theirlives and wish to clear theircriminal records. They doso for such sound reasons asschool admissions, enlistingin the military, employment,licensing, and adopting chil-dren.

It would be regrettable for

any future Illinois governorsto allow clemency requests tofall hopelessly to the bottomof their to-do lists. Clemencydecisions are a critical partof the state’s criminal justicesystem and should not berelegated to the bottom of theto-do list.

MINOR REVISION NEEDEDFOR RIALTO MARQUEETo the Editor:Too bad it was handled in a way

that caused so much dissension,but with the new Rialto marqueenow well along in construction,only one minor revision is need-ed: The donor’s parents’ namesshould be changed from allcapital letters to upper and lowercase. The all-cap style lookstacky and even does a dishonorto the honorees.Regardless, as this season

should remind us, there are somany things more importantthan the aesthetics of a marquee.

Earl FischerJoliet

A SLAP IN THE FACETo the Editor:If I had $350,000 to contribute

to the new marquee on the Rialtotheater, I’d be happy to do so. Ibet others would, too.What I wouldn’t do is put my

name or the name of my parentsin bold lettering to show off mygreat generosity. People wouldknow about that, and – more im-portantly – I would know aboutit. Isn’t that the reward for doinggood things?Anyway, I think the decision to

go ahead, to finish work already

started, is a slap in the face tothose of us who pay taxes forand who love the theater. I usedto love to walk down the streetor drive by and admire the beau-ty of the building. That will nolonger be possible because thatbeauty will have been marred.

Bonnie BadurskiShorewood

A MERRY CHRISTMASTO ALLTo the Editor:While in Joliet, Santa Claus at-

tends many breakfast-with-Santafundraisers. He enjoys visitingwith the kids and having hispicture taken with them. Theymake good souvenirs to showMrs. Santa Claus.For a change of pace, though,

I’m thinking about inviting him tomy place for a peanut butter andjelly sandwich, cup of hot choc-olate and two chocolate chipcookies. How does that sound?I won’t be feeding the reindeer.

That’s Santa’s job.While Santa is inside eating,

they can wait inside and playhide-and-seek.A Merry Christmas to all – even

the reindeer.

ROMEOVILLE – Afterbeing off since Dec. 6, LewisUniversity’s men’s basket-ball team hoped to pick up itsfourth straight win and im-prove to 5-0 on its home courtwhen it returned to actionWednesday against North-wood.

But the Timberwolveswere determined to makethat difficult, and they putup a good fight for much ofthe game before the Flyerseventually captured an 86-79nonconference victory at NeilCarey Arena.

“Northwood is good, andit has some good players,”Lewis coach Scott Trost said.“They got a kid back tonightwho hadn’t been playing forfive games, and they havea couple of D-I transfers.

They’ve got a nice team, andthey wouldn’t go away. I don’tthink that we played great,but we grinded out a win.

“We laid off for 11 days,and I think that showed. Idon’t think that we playedwith much urgency. Therewasn’t much energy in thebuilding, and to me it lookedlike we went through the mo-tions at times, but the goodthing is that we got a win.This is something that we canlearn from, and now we’ll getready for St. Francis [on Sat-urday].”

Northwood (5-4) cut thedeficit to 57-52 on a layup byWill Bowles, but the Flyers(7-1) started to pull away forgood after putting together adecisive 12-0 run.

D a v i d N i g g i n s ( n i n epoints) got things startedwith a slam and then hit a3-pointer to put the Flyers

up, 62-52, with 10:23 left. Af-ter Gabe Williams (13 points)hit a layup, Ryan Jackson (25points) converted an old-fash-ioned three-point play.

Things were looking prettygood for Lewis after Nigginsconverted two free throwsto stretch the lead with 9:04remaining, but the outcomewas far from being decided.

Northwood closed to with-in 72-66 with 5:19 left afterJermaine Myers (15 points)hit two free throws, but theFlyers responded to thethreat with a 5-0 run, whichfeatured a free throw and ajumper by Jackson.

Things still weren’t overas Myers hit a 3 to make it 79-74 with 59 seconds left. Mau-rice Jones (19 points, eight re-bounds) converted three freethrows with 41 seconds left tomake it 81-77.

The Timberwolves made it

a one-possession game whenJones hit two free throwswith 32 seconds left but Lew-is closed things out with twofree throws from Williamsand a slam by Julian Lewis(13 points, seven rebounds).

“We knew that they werea good team so we’d have toplay well, and I think that weresponded well to the effortthat they put out there, andI’m very happy with the out-come,” Jackson said. “We had11 days off where we didn’tplay and they had played, andI think that showed through-out the game where we werekind of out of our rhythm.

“I ’m very happy withhow we’re doing, especiallyas a senior. We’ve got off toa great start, and hopefullythings steadily improve. Ev-erybody is playing well, andfrom game-to-game, some-one is stepping up. I love my

teammates and the coachingstaff, and we all have thesame outlook. We want to winand compete and we enjoy do-ing that with each other.”

Lewis grabbed a sev-en-point advantage just pastthe midpoint of the first half.Jackson hit a 3-pointer tomake it 22-16, and Williamsextended the lead to 25-18with another trey.

Shortly after Jacksoncapped a 15-point openinghalf with a jumper and twofree throws, Williams madetwo late layups to give himnine points at halftime andLewis a 43-36 cushion at thebreak.

The Flyers, who had justseven turnovers and shot 57percent from the field, also re-ceived 11 points and seven re-bounds from Max Strus, eightpoints from Kyle Nelson andseven points from Jeff Jarosz.

MEN’S BASKETBALL: JOLIET JUNIOR COLLEGE 70, LAKE MICHIGAN COLLEGE 58

JJC avenges loss to Lake Michigan

By TIM TIERNEYShaw Media Correspondent

JOLIET – Lake MichiganCollege scored an overtimevictory last month over visit-ing Joliet Junior College, butgetting the best of the Wolveson their home court was an-other matter.

Joliet overcame a 14-pointfirst-half deficit Wednesdaynight to earn a 70-58 victory toextend its winning streak tosix games and its undefeatedstretch at home to 30 games.

“It’s a pretty good streak.We’ve been pretty good here,’’said Joliet coach Joe Kuhn,who recorded his 399th win asthe Wolves’ coach.

Joliet held Lake Michiganto 23 points in the second halfon just 9-of-32 shooting fromthe field.

“When we switched to the1-3-1 zone, it changed the com-plexion of the game, took awaytheir penetration,’’ Kuhn said.“We were able to get back init and dominate the secondhalf.’’

Freshman guard Day-meann Stewart scored 14 ofhis game-high 18 points in thesecond half when Joliet tookcontrol.

Darius Wells finished with16 points, including 8 of 10 freethrows, and Jalen Blackmonchipped in 10 points and eightrebounds.

Matt Hund, a 6-foot-7 fresh-man from Plainfield Central,grabbed 13 rebounds.

“The first half, Stewartstruggled and even in the sec-ond half missed a couple point-blank ones, but he got the shotgoing and sparked us,’’ Kuhnsaid. “I thought Wells also hada nice offensive game.’’

Joliet (11-2) put together a17-5 stretch that turned a 42-41deficit with 14 minutes left inthe game into a 58-47 lead with6:37 left to play.

Stewart led the momentumswitch and the comeback. He

connected on two 3-pointers,stole the ball for a transitionlayup and hit four free throws.

The closest Lake Michi-gan (8-4) got was 60-55 withfour minutes remaining. Lar-ry Moore (seven points) andWells hit free throws in the fi-nal minutes to secure the win.

Joliet was down, 35-32, athalftime after rallying from a27-13 hole with nine minutesleft in the half.

“I didn’t think we startedthe game with any urgency,offensively or defensively,’’Kuhn said.

Blackmon got inside for alayup to close the gap to 32-29with 2:40 left before halftime.Wells hit a 3-pointer from thecorner to tie the game at 32with 1:30 to play in the first

half.Wells had a team-best eight

points in the opening half.Blackmon contributed sixpoints and six rebounds be-fore halftime.

Joliet starts its NorthCentral Community CollegeConference schedule Jan. 7 atTriton. The Wolves finishedsecond in the conference lastseason.

“The conference is the bestit’s been for as long as I canremember,’’ Kuhn said. “Wehave three teams in the top 10in the country from our con-ference. Rock Valley is No. 1,we’re No. 9 and MilwaukeeTech is No. 10. The conferenceis loaded.’’

Before its conference open-er, Joliet will host MoraineValley at 3 p.m. Saturday fol-lowed by the Wisconsin-FoxValley Tournament on Jan. 2and 3 in Menasha, Wisconsin.

“Their chemistry and ca-maraderie, their like for eachother is the thing that has re-ally stood out the most,’’ Kuhnsaid of his team so far this sea-son. “You can really see it. I’vehad fans comment.’’

“It’s a pretty goodstreak. We’ve beenpretty good here.”

Judge rejects concussions dealBy MICHAEL TARMThe Associated Press

CHICAGO – A federaljudge in Chicago rejected aproposed $75 million class-ac-tion head injury settlementwith the NCAA on Wednes-day, portraying the deal astoo unwieldy and potentiallyunderfunded and urging bothsides to go back to the draw-ing board.

Under the proposal, NCAAwould toughen return-to-playrules for players with concus-sions and create a $70 millionfund to test current and for-mer athletes in contact andnon-contact sports for braintrauma. It also would setaside $5 million for research.

The first-of-its-kind dealwas designed to settle a host

of class-action suits accusingthe NCAA of failing to protectathletes against head trau-ma. In return for the testingprogram and for improvingthe safety of current players,the agreement would alsoshield the NCAA from beinghit with a single, blockbusterdamages payout.

In his 21-page opinionWednesday, U.S. DistrictJudge John Lee held outthe hope that the agreementcould be refashioned to ad-dress its shortcomings.

“The court encouragesthe parties to continue theirsettlement discussions ... toaddress these concerns,” Leewrote. He added later that theproposal was “a significantstep in trying to arrive at aresolution of this highly com-

plex matter.”At an October hearing, Lee

raised concerns that contactsport and non-contact sportathletes were covered underthe proposal, as were formerplayers going back 50 yearsor more. He said at the time:“The settlement, as it’s con-stituted, includes every ath-lete for all time. ... Doesn’t itmake sense to have a moremanageable period?”

In his Wednesday opinion,Lee noted athletes in sportscategorized as noncontact dosuffer concussions, pointingto baseball players or waterpolo athletes. The judge saidtheir inclusion in the dealand other factors left himwondering if $70 million forthe medical monitoring pro-gram was enough.

MEN’S BASKETBALL:ILLINOIS 73,HAMPTON 55

BLACKHAWKS

Nunn leadsIllinois toeasy victory

By STEVE BOURBONThe Associated Press

CHAMPAIGN – Ken-drick Nunn scored a sea-son-high 16 points as Illi-nois cruised over Hampton,73-55, on Wednesday night.

The Illini (8-3) jumpedout to a 27-11 lead early inthe first half, but Hamp-ton (4-6) made a run be-hind leading scorer Quin-ton Chievous. The seniorscored eight consecutivepoints on a 10-0 Hamptonrun.

Illinois closed out thehalf on a strong note whenNunn drilled a buzzer-beat-ing 3-pointer to push thelead back up to 12.

Nunn was in the startinglineup for the second con-secutive game and respond-ed with an efficient game.After missing his first twoshots, Nunn made his nextsix, including four 3-point-ers.

Sharp adjusts toright side of things

By BRIAN SANDALOWChicago Sun-Times

Patrick Sharp is goingthrough most of the usualthings after a month away.He’s trying to restore histiming with teammateswhile rebuilding his ownrhythm, not to mention get-ting himself completely backinto game shape.

But while he does that,Sharp also finds himself inan unfamiliar spot.

During his absence, theBlackhawks’ lines stabilized.The Joel Quenneville LineBlender, once used seeming-ly every night, has collecteddust.

J o n a t h a n T o e w s h a scentered for Brandon Saadand Marian Hossa, whilethe PB&K line of PatrickKane, Brad Richards andKris Versteeg has turnedinto a cohesive unit.

So instead of disruptingwhat has helped turn theHawks into the league’s hot-test team, Quenneville putthe usual left-winger Sharpon the right of a line with leftwing Bryan Bickell and cen-

ter Andrew Shaw.“He’s been fine,” Quenne-

ville said. “I think it’s com-parable. He’s played some inhis career. Wingers in oursystem, either side, you’vegot a lot of familiarity whereyou’re supposed to be andwhat you have to do. The jobdescription doesn’t changemuch.”

Sharp echoed that.Sure, he’s shooting from

a different angle and seeingthe game from a differentside, but in the end, he hasto do the same things to helpthe Hawks win.

“A little different. It’s thesame responsibilities and thesame job out there but every-thing’s the opposite,” Sharpsaid. “It takes a little moretime to get used to, but I lookat the positives. I’m catchingmore pucks on the forehandand having my head in theplay a lot more.”

Note: The Hawks sentgoalie Scott Dariling downto AHL Rockford to clearspace for starting goalie Co-rey Crawford, who has beenout since Dec. 1 with a footinjury.

THE HITS KEEP ON COMINGTHE HITS KEEP ON COMINGTHE HITS KEEP ON COMING

adno=0299247

Do Bears really think Clausen is the answer?For reasons that are unclear

to me, Marc Trestman electedto give his players an extra dayoff Wednesday, confusing hisapparent belief that by goingoverly easy on his players itwill make them play betterwith the job of being a headfootball coach.

If he were running a restau-rant or a car wash, his style ofleadership just might work,but as a football coach, well, Ithink we’ve seen the results.

I actually really would liketo feel sorry for him, but everytime I’m ready to go there, hefinds a way to make thingsworse.

Assuming ESPN’s AdamShefter’s report that JimmyClausen will replace Jay Cutleras the starting quarterbackSunday against the Lions istrue, it has to be the final stakein the hearts of the generalmanager and head coachingcareers of Phil Emery andTrestman with the Bears.

What are they doing now?Is there anyone out there

who actually believes the Bearsas a team or any individualplayer would have performedbetter Monday night if Clausenhad been under center?

Does anyone really believeClausen has a future as thestarting quarterback of theBears?

Is there some misguidedperception at Halas Hall thatplayers, coaches and fans willsomehow be satiated or evenpleased by the punishment andpublic shaming of Cutler?

What I heard from themajority of Bears players overthe past week was anger overthe way their quarterback was

outed and treated by his coachand the organization in theAaron Kromer fiasco.

Now those same players arefinding out Cutler has beenbenched from more leaks tothe national media. It is hardfor me to accept that this is thesmartest move in light of thatreaction.

When asked Wednesdaywhether he believed he’d suc-ceeded in getting the most outof Cutler, Trestman respond-ed, “I think that’s evident Ihaven’t, up to this point. Am Iworking at it? Yes. But we’veseen moments, but we haven’tdone it on a consistent basis. Ican’t hide from that. I haven’tbeen able and we haven’t beenable to do the thing that wewant to get done. I’m tryingto give you the most truthfulanswer, and that is we’ve seenmoments of it, but it’s notwhere we need to go. It’s notwhere we need to be.”

But he gave absolutely noindication Cutler would bebenched and seemed to indi-cate the opposite when askedto comment on broadcasterJon Gruden’s suggestion heshould have gone to Clausen onMonday night.

Several members of themedia tried to help Trestmanlay blame on Cutler, his bodylanguage and performance,but his answer was, “Part ofthis discussion is all aboutthe way we played on Mondaynight, and I understand that.

We didn’t lose on Mondaynight because of someone’sdemeanor. We lost becauseour team lost, and we didn’tcoach as well as we can coach,and they played better than us.Those are the most importantreasons, and certainly we wantto focus in on the quarterback.But the reasons why we lostgo far beyond interpretationabout somebody’s looks. Whenthey’re 5-9, nobody’s happyabout that.”

It’s impossible to believe itcame without Emery’s input.

Could it be either Emery,Trestman or both believe theycan save their jobs by havingClausen jumpstart the offense,thus justifying the release ofCutler, the digestion of $38million worth of dumb andthus convincing ownership allwill be well if they are broughtback for another year of chaoswithout the “evil QB?”

If so, they’re even dumber

or more out of touch with reali-ty than we thought possible.

Before a move like this, youhave to both ask and answerthe question: What positive ofany kind can come out of it? Ifthere is one, I just don’t see it.

At some point, this clownshow has to stop.

Trestman tuning out outside noiseBy MARK POTASH

[email protected]

Embattled Bears coachMarc Trestman doesn’t listento the noise, but he still hearsit.

With the Bears’ season faroff the rails at 5-9 with sever-al blowout losses, Trestman’sjob security is one of thefew legitimate issues left fordiscussion at Halas Hall withtwo weeks left in the season.The accumulating specula-tion alone makes it an issueeven Trestman can’t avoid.

“I think you’re alwaysaware [of the speculation]to a point. We’re aware thatthere’s noise out there,”Trestman said Wednesday atHalas Hall. “[But] I wouldn’thave to know what’s going onout there. I’ve been aroundthe NFL long enough to knowthat when you’re 5-9, there’sgoing to be a lot going onoutside the building. The onlything I can control and theright things to control andto focus on are the team andthat’s what I’ve done.”

It remains to be seenwhether the Bears can solid-ify Trestman’s job status oreven if they have to, in thefinal two games of the season.Trestman is, as always,focused on winning the nextgame.

For anyone who cares,that’s Sunday against theLions at Soldier Field. Kickoffis at noon.

“For me to look at any-thing that’s going on outsidethe building wouldn’t be fairto this organization and theway that I’ve been treatedhere by management and bythe people here,” Trestmansaid. “My focus is completelyon preparing this team thebest I can as I have each andevery week.

“I understand that I’veonly prepared them to be 5-9and I’m not happy about that.We’re not happy about that.And certainly our fans arenot happy about that. But I goback in to work and stay aspresent as I can and work onthe things that I need to workon.”

With two weeks to go, thisseason can’t end soon enough

for just about everybodyinvolved with the Bears – thefront office, coaches, play-ers, media, fans, everybody.Even listening to Trestmanon Wednesday, you get thefeeling of resignation – notthat a decision on anybody’sfate has been made, but thatthere’s nothing anybody cando about it at this point.

Nobody’s talking aboutbuilding a foundation fornext season with a strongfinish – a fairly normal tackfor a team out of the playoffpicture. Asked last weekwhat there is to accomplishwithout any playoff hopes,left tackle Jermon Bushrodsaid simply, “to find a way towin.”

Even Trestman seems toknow that nobody cares howhard his team is workingor how well they’re prac-ticing – selling points thatbecame Confederate currencylong ago. When Trestmanwas asked whether he sawsigns of players packing itin against the Saints, he de-fended his team’s effort – butquickly acknowledged that itdidn’t make a difference.

The Bears are a messTrestman cannot cleanup atthis point. The late-breakingnews that Trestman is bench-ing Jay Cutler, his $127-mil-lion quarterback, in favor ofJimmy Clausen on a shortweek Sunday against theLions – after Trestman will-fully ignored a query aboutCutler’s status in his newsconference earlier Wednes-day at Halas Hall – is anothernew low.

It’s an embarrassing movethat was fumbled badly byTrestman – a typical exam-ple of the poor execution,questionable timing, tone-deaf communication andmisguided leadership thathas propelled the Bears intodismay: the harder they try,the worse they get.

All that’s left in this sea-son is the aftermath. Trest-man hasn’t earned the rightto stay. But the Bears haven’tearned the right to make afootball decision on any level.

What a mess indeed.Dec. 29 can’t get here soon

enough.

A gift for families, communityNew Lenox church will host a Living Nativity on Sunday

By MAUVERNEEN BLEVINSShaw Media Correspondent

NEW LENOX – ’Tis theseason.

Christiansthroughout the world arecelebrating the birth of Jesuswith carols, creches andChristmas traditions. OnSunday, the United Method-ist Church of New Lenox willadd a realistic element to thecelebration – outside – nomatter the weather.

That element is a LivingNativity – a depiction of thenight Christ was born, usingreal people and live animalsto bring the Christmas storyto life. It will take place onthe church grounds, oftenreferred to as The Old Camp-ground.

“We want to share thestory of Christmas, gatherthe community and bring thefamily together in a differentway,” said Lisa Wainright,worship committee chair-woman.

These 20 wooded acresinspired Wainwright to offera drive-thru re-enactmentof the Christmas story. Thechurch had done it in thepast, about 15 years ago,before Wainright joined thechurch.

Now that it’s reinstated,Wainright hopes to repeatthe Living Nativity everyyear, she said.

It’s an ambitious under-taking. Planning began inJanuary, as the Living Nativ-ity required about 200 volun-teers to portray the biblicalcharacters, handle live ani-mals – including sheep, goatsand a burro, a news releasesaid – create costumes, buildscenery and sing ChristmasCarols, Wainright said.

However, Wainwright,who runs a dance studio,said she is accustomed toorganizing events withplenty of performers and lotsof costumes. She also drew

on contacts from her eques-trian days to locate neededanimals.

Wainright is thankful forall the volunteers and forBoy Scout Troop 12 mem-bers, who are creating andplacing more than 500 lu-

minaries along the windingdrive through the groundsthat evening.

Upon arrival – whichis from Route 30 only thatnight, Wainright said – driv-ers will receive an audio CD,which will have a recordingof the Christmas story, andan explanation of each scenealong the way.

Along the drive, there willbe seven separate tableauxdepicting the Christmasstory, beginning with Caesardeclaring a census, Wain-right said.

Other scenes will include“no room at the inn,” wisemen, shepherds and angels,she added.

The final stop is at the

church entrance, wherecarolers will sing alongsidethe living creche, Wainrightsaid.

Attendees can return theCD, park their cars to betterview the manger scene andcome inside for cookies andhot chocolate, Wainrightsaid.

In addition to refresh-ments, mini services will beoffered in the church properfor those who wish to singhymns and receive commu-nion, Wainright added.

Wainright’s “it wasn’twork” attitude in organizingthis event is due in part to arecent five-week series givenby the pastor, the Rev. JayD. Carr, and the associate

pastor, Sarah Hong. “LivingGenerously” is a concept thatgoes beyond donating money,Wainright said.

Because of the series,many people were encour-aged to volunteer, includingteens who “are willing todress up and stand out in thecold for hours,” Wainrightsaid.

“This is our gift to thecommunity,” Wainright said.

Other Local churcheshold living nativities

United Methodist Church of NewLenox wasn’t the only church thisholiday season recreating thebirth of Jesus. St. Peter EvangelicalLutheran Church in Joliet held itsLive Nativity on Dec. 6 in front ofthe church.According to Karyl Holmstrom,

planning and publicity chairman atSt. Peter’s, after a two-year lapse,the congregation missed hostingthis neighborhood outreach, sothe Sunday school superintendent,Annette Butler, reinstated thereenactment.“It meant a lot to them, looking

forward to Christmas,” Holmstromsaid.The hope is to bring the Christmas

story to some who might not beaware of it, or never have seen itportrayed in this way. At the LivingNativity, adult and children volun-teers sang carols, read Bible versesand portrayed the Holy Family,angels and shepherds. Afterward,everyone was invited inside forrefreshments, Holmstrom said.

CROSSWORD SUDOKU BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

CELEBRITY CIPHER

PUZZLES

Bob Hope said, “A bank is a placethat will lend youmoney if you canprove you don’t need it.”

In bridge, whether as declarer or adefender, the bidding lends you infor-mation to allow you to place key miss-ing cards and play more accurately.

In today’s deal, how should Southdeclare in four hearts?West leads thediamond two. East wins with his kingand tries to cash the ace, but Southruffs.

North’s two-diamond cue-bidshowed three-card or better heartsupport and at least game-invitationalvalues. (In contrast, a jump raise tothree hearts would have been pre-emp-tive, indicating four hearts and a weakhand.) Declarer started with nine toptricks: one spade, six hearts and twoclubs. If the opponents had retained arespectful silence during the auction,South might well have drawn trumpsand hoped that West had either theclub queen or spade king. Now, though,it was likely that both of those cardsrested in East’s hand -- althoughWestmight have held the club queen.

South played a heart to dummy’sjack, cashed the club ace, ruffed adiamond in his hand and cashed theheart ace, happy to see the nice break.Then declarer played a club to dummy’sking. When the queen did not drop,South ruffed dummy’s last diamond andexited with a club. East took the trick,but was endplayed. A spade lead wouldhave been away from the king, andwhen he tried a club, South discarded aspade from his hand and ruffed on theboard.

If West had won trick nine with theclub queen and shifted to a low spade,South would have let East win the trickwith his 10 or jack.

The bidding helpsto place the cards

Dear Doctor K: I’m preg-nant and am getting a lotof pressure from familyand friends to breast-feed.I’m not ruling that out,but I’d like to know whatthe research shows aboutthe benefits of breast-feed-ing.

Dear Reader: Breast-feed-ing can be a contentiousissue. On the one hand,there’s no question thatbreast-feeding is healthyfor babies. But somemothers prefer not tobreast-feed, and otherssimply can’t for a varietyof reasons.

So how much differ-ence does breast-feedingmake to a baby’s health?A series of articles re-cently published in thejournal Pediatrics givesus an idea.

The studies updatedearlier studies, publishedin 2008, that examinedinfant feeding practicesfrom birth through 12months. The new studiesfollowed up with the samemoms and children sixyears later. Here are someof the findings:

• Prolonged breast-feed-ing (several months) anddelaying solid foods ledto fewer ear, throat andsinus infections. But ithad no effect on colds,lung infections or urinaryinfections.

• Prolonged breast-feed-ing and delaying solidsdidn’t change whetherchildren were likely tohave food allergies.

• Breast-fed babieshave slightly healthierdiets later in childhood.However, they are just aslikely to eat sweets andsnacks as children whowere bottle-fed.

• Infants who weregiven sugar-sweetenedbeverages in infancy hadtwice the risk of obesityas older children andadults.

• If babies don’t eatmany fruits and vegeta-bles, they are less likelyto eat them when they are6 years old.

• If babies werebottle-fed (either withformula or pumped breast

milk), their mothers weremore likely to try to getthem to finish their foodwhen they were 6 yearsold.

The bottom line is thatgood – and bad – eatinghabits start early. It’s lessa matter of breast-feedingversus bottle-feeding.It’s more about startinghealthy eating habitsright from the start. Forinstance:

• Don’t give childrenjuices or sugar-sweetenedbeverages.

• Start giving fruitsand vegetables whenchildren are babies, andnot just in baby food fromjars.

• Food should be prop-erly cut into pieces small-er than the size of a pea.Pieces of solid food largerthan that can get stuck ina baby’s windpipe.

• Don’t give a babynuts, popcorn or hardcandies.

• Sticky, gooey foodssuch as gummy candies,marshmallows and evenpeanut butter can be hardfor a baby to swallow.Avoid giving them.

• Don’t make childrenfinish their food, whetherit’s a bottle of formula orthe food on their plate.Letting them listen totheir own hunger cuescan help prevent futureobesity.

On that last point, if Iwanted to leave the tablebefore finishing whatwas on my plate whenI was a kid, my motherwould say, “Rememberthe starving children inIndia.” Fortunately, I’mnot obese. I think it’s notin spite of my mother’sadvice; I think I justinherited good genes frommy two slim parents.

TODAY – Look at an unplannedcircumstance as a chance to growand learn. If you face changes withoptimism and acceptance, they willwork out for you in the end. Shyingaway from a new challenge will nothelp you move forward. Turn this intoa progressive year.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Youwill be inspired by a most unlikelysource. If you spend time helping lessfortunate people, you are likely to finda kindred spirit. Let your heart leadthe way.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Imag-ine yourself in a more fulfilling career.Once you have narrowed down youroptions, it will be easy to determinewhat you need to do to achieve yourdream.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Don’tbelieve everything you hear. Someonewill lead you astray. If you overreact,you risk being put at a disadvantagethat will force you to backtrack.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- You can

make valuable contributions withoutspending too much. Donate your timeto local programs that assist peoplein need. Look in on someone who isailing or needs your help.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Cash willslip through your fingers if you donateto an unfamiliar group. Keep a closeeye on your money and keep unneces-sary expenditures to a minimum. Anunexpected bill will set you back.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Don’t letyour heart rule your head. Listen tothe advice of caring friends. If you areinfatuated with someone unsuitableor something unrealistic, regret willfollow.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You willget terrific results when shopping forsomeone special. If you pick up the

pace, you will accomplish more thananticipated, leaving time for rest andrelaxation late in the day.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- The situationon the home front will be critical.Getting out of the house and enjoyingtime with a friend who makes youlaugh will do you good. Avoid over-spending.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Familytension will run high. The more youare able to achieve, the less timeyou will have to complain or getinto an argument. Patience will berequired.

Dear Abby: I am writ-ing this in response to“Un-Grandparent in Ohio”(Aug. 25), whose pregnantteenage daughter has de-cided to place her baby foradoption.

My daughter and son-in-law adopted their new-born daughter in an openadoption. Each summer theadoption agency sponsorsa picnic that is attended bybirth and adoptive parents,grandparents and otherfamily members -- and, ofcourse, the adopted child.During the rest of the year,our daughter sends thebirth mother photos andletters, going through thesame agency.

I can only imagine thesadness Un-Grandparent isfeeling. I hope her daughterhas chosen an adoptionagency like this one so shewill be able to share in hergrandchild’s life. – GratefulAdoptive Grandmother

Dear Grateful: I welcomedfeedback from readersabout that letter and, asalways, they providedUn-Grandparent withthoughtful advice. Read on:

Dear Abby: I am a grand-mother and an attorney. Ihave done a lot of guard-ianship work over theyears and would like thegrandmother to know thatin many cases similar tohers, it is the grandmotherwho adopts the baby. Thisis often the best solution foreveryone – especially thebaby.

Most states favor adop-tions by family members.It could be a wonderfulending/beginning for allconcerned if that could hap-pen in this case. – GrandmaClaire

Dear Abby: I went throughthis with my daughter, whowas not in a mental or fi-nancial position to keep thechild. I was in the deliveryroom for the birth of all mygrandchildren, but in order

to distance myself from thischild, I allowed the adoptivemom to go into the deliveryinstead, because it was im-portant for her to bond withthe baby. It was easier, ina sense, to distance myselffrom this child because ofmy daughter’s circumstanc-es.

I think about my grand-son all the time, and I getpictures from the adoptivefamily. When the timeis right, he will meet hisbiological family. My hopeis that Un-Grandparent cantrust the adoptive parentsto be the right ones and thatthey will do the right thingfor the child. – Christine onthe West Coast

Dear Abby: I was neitherwilling nor emotionallyable to raise my 13-year-olddaughter’s child. Therewas an open adoption,with a family that had fivechildren of their own, butneither my daughter nor Itook the opportunity to getto know this child or hisnew family.

My parents (the baby’sgreat-grandparents) madethe effort to keep in touchand were welcomed withopen arms. My parentsbrought ALL the childrenChristmas gifts, and mymother wrote to them often,visiting when they had achance.

So, if this is an openadoption, there is still thepossibility for you to haveas much contact as every-one is comfortable with.There is no such thing astoo much love! – Kathryn inTexas
