I read of a man who stood to speakat the funeral of a frIend.
he referred to the dates on her tombstonefrom the begInnIng…to the end
he noted that fIrst came the dates of her bIrthand spoke of the followIng date wIth tears,
but saId what mattered most of allwas the dash between those years?
for that dash represents all the tImethat she spent alIve on thIs earth…and how only those who loved her
know what that lIttle lIne Is worth.
for It matters not, how much we own;the cars…the clothes…the cash…
what matters Is how we lIve and loveand how we spend our dash.
so thInk about thIs long and hard…are there thIngs you’d lIke to change?
for you never know how much tIme Is left,(you could be at “mId-dash range…”)
If we could just slow down enoughto consIder what’s true and real,
and always try to understandthe way that others feel.
and be less quIck to anger,and show apprecIatIon more.and love people In our lIves
lIke we’ve never loved before.
If we treat each other wIth respect,and more often wear a smIle…
rememberIng that thIs specIal dashmIght only last a whIle.
so, when your eulogy’s beIng readwIth your lIfe’s actIons to rehash…
would you be proud of the thIngs they say?and how you spent your dash?

Annual Operation St. Nick radio auction set for Sunday
By HEIDI [email protected]
MORRIS – With Christmasjust around the corner, Oper-ation St. Nick President JoeSchmitz is preparing for theannual radio auction on Sun-day.
“It all started in 1983 withthe auction of one item, a Cab-bage Patch doll,” Schmitz said.
The first auction brought in$895 for the much-coveted doll,which every parent had to havefor their child that year, butwas in short supply.
The next year Operation St.Nick raised $1,362 by auction-ing off five of the beloved Cab-bage Patch dolls.
Each year the auction hasgrown, with the 25th anniver-sary auction in 2007 bringingin $121,000, the first time theorganization raised more than$100,000 in one auction.
Since 2007, the auction hascontinued to bring in morethan $100,000 each year. Lastyear broke the 2007 record,with $134,640 raised.
“It’s amazing to raise thatkind of money in a small com-munity like this,” Schmitzsaid.
Operation St. Nick is a non-profit organization that helpsGrundy County families inneed throughout the year withprograms for Christmas, backto school, veterans and more.
The 32nd annual 103.1 WCSJAM and FM Radio Auction willrun from 8 a.m. to noon Sun-day. To bid on an item, call 815-941-1000, ext. 101. If you get abusy signal, call 815-252-3860 or815-975-4369.
The organization never setsa specific goal for what to raiseat the auction. Instead, theboard meets each January tolook at the amount raised andplans its budget accordingly.
Money raised from Sun-day’s auction supports theorganization’s annual Christ-mas program, which provideseach sponsored child with $200
in toys and clothes from Wal-Mart, and each family with be-tween $300 and $500 in food.
This year, Operation St.Nick will provide for at least158 children from 60 families inGrundy County.
Parents are notified whenthey are chosen and are giventime to go to the Morris Wal-Mart, where they pick out giftsfor their children. They leavethe items at the store and Op-eration St. Nick elves purchasethem, making sure they are
age-appropriate and fit withintheir guidelines.
The items are delivered tothe families closer to Christ-mas.
Each year, items to be auc-tioned off are on display atStandard Bank on Route 6 andDeerpath Drive in Morris,and this year there are itemsat Athletic Outfitters and Sk-lut’s Mens Wear in downtownMorris. Those interested inchecking out some of the itemsahead of time can visit these lo-
cations.For the past several years,
the Morris Cruise Night Com-mittee has restored items anddonated to the auction. Thisyear is no different.
The committee donateda 1960 Northwestern 10-centgumball machine, a 1960sthree-sided wood phone booth,and a 1960s Oscar Mayer Wein-er Mobile Pedal Car.
Herb Wyeth, with the CruiseNight Committee, said thegroup used to donate between
$500 and $1,000 in cash, moneyleft over from Cruise Night.Now that money purchasesitems to refurbish and sell.
“The items we’ve donatedfor the past three years haveaveraged $9,000,” Wyeth said.“If that doesn’t do your heartgood, nothing will.”
Other auction items includea whole-house generator fromBaker Electric in Morris, val-ued at $2,250. There’s a trip tothe American Girl Doll storein downtown Chicago, with alimo ride and three $100 storegift certificates, as well as a$100 gift certificate for dinner.This has a minimum bid of$1,000.
There also is a handmadeBlackhawks Stanley CupChampions glass top table,custom-made for Operation St.Nick.
The auction has somethingfor everyone, Schmitz said, in-cluding sports items, jewelry,artwork, Christmas decora-tions, collectibles and excur-sions.

County panel OKs newtransparency software
By NICK [email protected]
MORRIS – Software recentlyapproved by Grundy County’sTechnology/Elections Commit-tee will help increase transpar-ency for the County Board andclerk’s office, according to vicechairman David Nelson.
Committee members ap-proved last week the software,called IQM2, for Grundy Coun-ty use.
David Welter, County Boardchairman, said Thursday thesoftware cost the county $16,000and should be implemented byMarch.
The software, made by Acce-la Inc., will help manage countyagendas, minutes and support-ing documents by streamlininginternal processes and gettinginformation out to the publicin a more accurate and timelymanner.
“If you go to the website, youwon’t see updated minutes fromthe last couple of months,” Nel-son said. “I’m not saying that’sanyone’s fault, but we can do
better. We should get that stuffout there as quickly as possibleso the public can see it.”
Nelson said IQM2 will allowpreparation of agendas and dis-tribution of minutes to be auto-mated in a template form.
“If Sandy [Pommier, admin-istrative assistant] preparedthe minutes, the software willautomatically route to whoneeds to see it next,” Nelsonsaid. “This will allow us tohave cost reductions becausewe won’t have to worry aboutpeople working overtime.”
The vice chairman said vis-itors to the website, grundyco.org, will be able to watch liveand archived board meetings.He added he believes GrundyCounty will become the mosttransparent county in the statein the next few months.
“If they want to see the partof the video when the vote wentdown, this system will break itdown to the issue the person isinterested in,” Nelson said. “Iwant to be held accountable tothe people who elected me. Thismakes it easier for citizensto do that because they knowwhat’s going on.”
Nelson said the county willstart live-streaming videos ofboard meetings and that hewants to live-stream committeemeetings as well.
“The bulk of county work
happens in those committeemeetings and citizens rarelyshow up to those meetings,”Nelson said.
Welter has been live-stream-ing videos from board meetingsfrom his laptop for the past fewyears. He said live-streamingthe video from an elevated cam-era in the board room wouldgive viewers a full view of ev-eryone.
“We already have a cameraset up at the top of the boardroom,” Welter said. “The mi-crophones board membersspeak into will be hooked intothe feed. We’re getting bettersound quality and a better pic-ture.”
IQM2 software also has oth-er features, such as capturingand storing audio of differentevents, 24/7 streaming of chan-nels and podcasting, electronicvoting and speaker queue, con-ference and automated camerasystem integration and Power-Point display.
Nelson said Will County be-gan using the software in No-vember.
The vice chairman said thecounty will use IQM2 in itsfive buildings, which includethe administration center, an-imal control and courthouse,highway department, sheriff’soffice, as well as in a number ofdifferent departments.
System followsin Will County’sdigital footsteps

The first report was madeNov. 30. Two older style $100bills with the same serial num-ber were passed in the samestore, but in separate transac-tions, according to a news re-lease from Morris police. It ap-pears the offender made smallpurchases in an effort to trans-fer the counterfeit bills to realdollars.
The offender in this case wascaptured on surveillance vid-eo. He is described as a blackmale, between 18 and 30 yearsold, between 5’10” to 6’3” tall,weighing between 170 and 210pounds, wearing dark clothing,and a stocking cap. He possiblydrove a white full size van withwriting on the side, according tothe release.
“In my experience, there isprobably more than one persondoing this,” Morris Police ChiefBrent Dite said.
The second report was madeTuesday by another business. Itreceived a counterfeit $20 bill.
The business believed the billwas received during a Nov. 30transaction.
A third report was made by alocal bank that received a coun-terfeit $100 bill that matched theserial number of the previous$100 bills reported. This coun-terfeit was discovered by thebank during the processing ofthe business’s night deposit.
The Seneca Police Depart-ment also received the samecounterfeit $100 bills on Nov. 29,according to the release.
The U.S. Secret Service hasbeen notified and has opened aninvestigation through the Chi-cago Field Office.
“One of their focuses is coun-terfeiting,” Dite said. “Whenwe contacted them, it probablypeeked their interest becausethere is likely similar reports inthe area. Traditionally, that iswhy they would get involved.”
Businesses and banks areadvised to be diligent in exam-ining bills that might be coun-terfeit, especially during thisholiday season. If a bill appearsto be counterfeit, contact Mor-ris police at 815-942-2131.
The secret service has twowebsites that can offer tips anddownloadable guides: www.newmoney.gov and www.se-cretservice.gov. The MorrisPolice Department also has alimited quantity of brochures,“Know Your Money,” providedby the secret service.

MAZON – Tina Brookmanlikes to think about the joyof a child opening gifts onChristmas as she sorts toysfor people in need at Toys forJoy, an annual toy giveaway.
“A lot of families don’tnecessarily fall into brack-ets where they can receivehelp,” Brookman said. “Thisoutreach helps them finan-cially at holiday time.”
For the past four years,Brookman and her daughterJamie Brookman, as well asKris Webster of Mazon, havecollected new and used toys,cleaned the toys and giventhem to families in need –free of charge.
Brookman said many vol-unteers work hard to get ev-erything ready.
“There are a lot of peopleinvolved,” she said. “It takesmany hands to get the workdone.”
Toys for Joy takes placeon the first two Saturdaysof December at the MazonUnited Methodist Church.The free event is for familiesin need during the Christ-mas season, giving them thechance to pick up toys andother items for their chil-dren.
Last year, in addition totoys, they received clothes,Christmas trees and house-hold items.
Organizers try to keep thetables at the event geared toage groups and want to haveitems for children from new-borns to teens. Brookmansaid they are still collectingtoys and could use items for
teenage boys.“The most difficult to
provide for is the older teen-age boys. We don’t get a lotof things they would like,”Brookman said.
Jamie Brookman said sheloves helping people.
“ I t h i n k d o i n g t h i shelps families who maybewouldn’t qualify for helpthrough other places,” shesaid. “I couldn’t imagine be-ing a parent and not beingable to afford presents formy child.”
They are asking residentswho have toys, purses, jew-elry or items for older chil-dren to contact them, so theycan arrange to pick up theitems.
For questions or dona-tions, call Tina Brookman at815-448-2715 or Kris Websterat 815-448-2132.

Coal City school districtassisting with help center
By GEORGE LAMBOLEYShaw Media Correspondent
COAL CITY – Superinten-dent Kent Bugg updated theCoal City Community UnitSchool District board Wednes-day on the progress of the com-munity help center.
The school district haspartnered with Diamond, CoalCity, the Coal City Fire Pro-tection District, the Coal CityPublic Library District andCoal City police to open “Helpfor Hope,” according to Bugg’sreport to the board. This neworganization will assist needyfamilies throughout the holi-days.
Gordon and Cathy Milne ofCoal City, who previously ranthe Coal City Clothes Closet,are running the new center.The center is a 24/7 resourcefor community members inneed, Bugg said. It has emer-gency food, clothes and otheritems on hand, Bugg said, andwill help families get in touchwith other resources.
In about three weeks, abuilding has been securedas well as cleaned, paintedand prepared for the upcom-ing season. The location ison Route 113 across from thelaundromat.
“We have been able to se-cure a location rent-free forthe next three months, which
will get us through the win-ter,” Bugg said. “I’m proud tobe able to get started so quick-ly.”
Bugg stated that cash do-nations to the help center arebeing accepted at this timeand are the most helpful. Fu-ture plans include setting upa board to dictate the center’sactions.
“If you live in our commu-nity, we feel we should be ableto help you break the cycleof poverty and improve yourlife,” Bugg said.
Late start optionThe prospect of a “latestart”
for students was discussed atlength by board members. Bymoving the start of the schoolday later by one hour, stu-dents would make it to schoolin a safe manner on days whenweather is a factor.
“After talking with admin-istration at Minooka HighSchool, this seems like a realpossibility,” Bugg said. “Theonly thing that might be affect-ed is morning practices.”
By starting only one hourlate, the day is still counted asfull, preventing the need formake-up days in June.
“I’m just not sure how wewould broadcast the decisionfor a late start,” board member

Sensitivity, respect needed in societal discourseMike Ditka will say any-
thing at any time. Bidden,unbidden – it doesn’t matter.Whatever is on his mind soonwill be on its way to you. It’s hisappeal. It’s his moneymaker.
On Tuesday, the topic wasthe five St. Louis Rams playerswho, before a game Sunday,raised their arms in a “handsup, don’t shoot’’ pose to protestthe decision not to indict Fer-guson, Missouri police officerDarren Wilson in the death ofMichael Brown.
The former Bears coach andcurrent ESPN football analystsaid Brown never raised hishands in surrender to Wilsonand that “a policeman’s life isruined.”
After picking my jaw off thefloor, I thought, “I can’t believethat someone with such a highpublic profile would say whathe said in such an in-your-facemanner,” followed by, “Thiscould be his undoing.”
Followed by, “Wait, whycan’t he say what he did?”
We all have opinions. Somewe say out loud. Some we don’t,for propriety’s sake. But pro-priety isn’t always enough ofa reason not to say something.
Call the 75-year-old doddering ifit makes you feel good, but lotsof Americans his junior agreewith him. If there is going to bea solution to the racial prob-lems in this country, peoplehave to be heard, no matterhow much you might disagreewith them.
But there has to be a betterway than plowing over the oth-er side like a tight end might.
Ditka does a weekly columnfor the Sun-Times called “4Downs with Mike Ditka.” Aneditor calls him with four ques-tions, and Ditka opines. Mostof the time, the questions haveto do with football, but becauseit’s impossible to separatesports from everyday life, thereal world sometimes elbowsits way into the discussion.
That was the case Tuesday,when an editor asked Ditkaabout the Rams players whohad raised their hands in pro-test as they took the field Sun-day against Oakland. Ditkainstead went off on the protest-ers in Ferguson.
“I’m not sure they careabout Michael Brown or any-thing else,” he said. “This was areason to protest and to go out
and loot. Is this the way to cel-ebrate the memory of MichaelBrown? Is this an excuse to belawless? Somebody has to tellme that. I don’t understand it.I understand what the Rams’take on this was. I’m embar-rassed for the players morethan anything. They want totake a political stand on this?Well, there are a lot of otherthings that have happened inour society that people have notstood up and disagreed about.
“… What do you do if some-one pulls a gun on you or is rob-bing a store and you stop them?I don’t want to hear about thishands-up crap. That’s not whathappened. I don’t know exactlywhat did happen, but I knowthat’s not what happened. Thispoliceman’s life is ruined. Why?Because we have to break some-body down. Because we haveto even out the game. I don’tknow. I don’t get it. Maybe I’mjust old-fashioned.”
The national response wasloud on both sides. Some of
those who disagree with himhave jumped on his age toexplain what they take to behis kookiness. He’s at an agewhen many people don’t carewhat they say or who hears it.There’s a freedom that comeswith getting older. There alsoare pitfalls, and if Da Coach’scareer as a media star and se-rial product endorser some dayis done in by his tongue, no onewill be surprised.
But some of Ditka’s com-ments aren’t so different fromthose of NBA TV commentatorCharles Barkley, who calledFerguson looters “scumbags.”Barkley is 51 and black.
“The cops are awesome,”he told CNN. “They’re the onlything in the ghetto between thisplace being the wild wild West.”
This is where it gets dif-ficult. The Ferguson situationis a tinderbox right now, andwords have the potential tostart a fire. Brown’s stepfatherscreamed, “Burn this [Exple-tive] down,” upon hearing thenews that a grand jury hadchosen not to indict Wilson.No one can be sure if his wordswere the accelerant, but burnFerguson did.
Timing and tact matter.When all one side can thinkabout is the loss of a teenager’slife, it’s probably not the besttime to bemoan the fate of theman who killed him. Especiallyin print and especially if you’reMike Ditka. It simply doesn’thelp, you know?
I happen to believe in thephysical evidence that showedBrown was the aggressor inhis encounter with Wilson. Ialso understand that the blackcommunity’s distrust of policegoes back decades. Those of uswho haven’t experienced thatfirsthand have to be sensitive tothose feelings. It’s why Iwouldn’t think of blurting outwhat Ditka did, especially if Iworked with African-Ameri-cans Tom Jackson, KeyshawnJohnson and Cris Carter onESPN’s “Sunday NFL Count-down,” as he does.
There’s something to besaid for sensitivity and respect.And choosing words very, verycarefully.

VIEWS
Kromer comes to Bears well-traveledOffensive coordinator developsgrasp on NFL offenses
By KEVIN [email protected]
Technically speaking, AaronKromer is in his 25th year ofcoaching football, which is abouthalf his life dedicated to teachingthe game. But really, it goes allthe way back to high school.
“When I was a high schoolplayer, basketball and football,I used to like working with theyoung kids at the camps, so I’dalways go and do those things atthe high schools and in the localarea,” said Kromer, the Bears of-fensive coordinator.
Kromer grew up in Castalia,Ohio, which had a population of935 per the 2000 census. He wentto Miami of Ohio to play foot-ball – offensive tackle – and hadpretty big aspirations consider-ing his hometown.
“I went in to get a teaching de-gree – I thought I was going to bea high school teacher and coach.I was from a small town, and thatwas high ambition in itself.”
Kromer didn’t exactly havea big sports background in his
family, but important traits tolife and coaching were learned inhis household.
In Year 25, Kromer will joinhis fellow staff members in com-ing under criticism for what hasbeen a disappointing season forthe Bears, especially on offense.His two areas of expertise, offen-sive line and running game, haveat times been the only highlights.Kromer was considered one ofthe top assistants in the leaguewhen he came to Chicago fromNew Orleans.
Randy Walker was hired atMiami Ohio during Kromer’s se-nior year and asked Kromer tostay on as a graduate assistant.
Kromer said he was takingthe same coaching path Walkertook with Dick Crum, a headcoach at Miami in the mid-1970sand then North Carolina from1978 to 1987.
In 1999, Kromer made his firstmove to the Chicago area, join-ing Walker on the Northwesternstaff, coaching the Wildcats’ of-fensive line. In 2000, Northwest-ern was a co-Big Ten champion
with one of the country’s best of-fenses.
It took only two years in theBig Ten before Kromer madethe move to the NFL, and that’swhen he met Marc Trestman.
It also was a great way to net-work. Jon Gruden hired Kromerto join his Raiders staff, whereKromer said he got a “doctor-ate in football” from the current“Monday Night Football” ana-lyst, and he joined Bill Callahanand Trestman on Oakland’s of-fense.
Kromer then went withGruden to Tampa Bay, but he al-ways wanted to coach with some-one he met at Miami and hadbecome good friends with, SeanPayton, the Ohio Redhawks’ of-fensive coordinator from 1994-95.
The highlight on Kromer’s ré-sumé before coming to Chicagowas the success of the Saints’
offense, including a Super Bowltitle after the 2009 season, butit’s the six games he was interimhead coach in 2012 that also standout.
“It was a weird situation be-cause no team has never reallybeen in a situation like that,” saidJermon Bush-rod, Kromer’sleft tackle in bothNew Orleans andChicago. “I thinkhe did a great jobfilling in. He un-derstood his taskthat he was onlygoing to be in thatposition for sixweeks, but I thinkhe made the bestout of it.”
Bushrod appeared in onlythree games in his first two NFLseasons before Kromer came toNew Orleans. An injury thrustBushrod into a prominent roleprotecting Drew Brees’ blindside. After starting all but twogames over the next four sea-sons, Bushrod was able to cashin on a lucrative contract withthe Bears.
He credits some of his careersuccess to the tutelage he has re-ceived from Kromer, now in twodifferent stops. And Kromer’s
presence in Chicago helpedBushrod’s free-agent selection ofthe Bears.
“His techniques and every-thing that he’s preached hasbeen pretty beneficial to me,”Bushrod said. “He’s been prettypatient with me over the years.I fight to grow as much as I can,and to work on things, and he’sbeen very understanding withthat and he’s helped me out a lotalong the way.”
Bushrod has seen the develop-ment of Kromer, from a pure O-line coach to someone who nowhas a good grasp of NFL offenses.
“He’s had more on his plate,he’s not just dealing with the of-fensive line. He’s working morewith the offense, working morewith the quarterbacks,” Bushrodsaid. “Just trying to help every-one out that’s around him, try-ing to bring along the youngerguys, continuing to help out usolder guys that have been in thisleague for a little while. It’s beengreat, the things he’s been ableto bring.”
“I’ve seen him, he’s excelledat being a position coach,” Bush-rod said. “He’s continuing to doa great job as offensive coordi-nator over the last couple years.The next step is for him to get thehead coaching job.”

MORRIS – Right from thestart Thursday night, the Mor-ris wrestling team was aggres-sive.
The match started withthe 145-pound weight class,and Redskins wrestler ShainHennessy wasted no time ingetting things going. Actually,he wasted all of 16 seconds topin Rochelle’s Isaiah Ramosand put Morris ahead, 6-0. TheRedskins never looked back enroute to a 54-24 Northern Illi-nois Big 12 crossover victory.
“Shain did a great job of get-ting us going,” Morris coachJon Lanning said. “He’s 3-0now, and he has looked reallygood so far.”
Morris’ A.J. Vota won the152-pound match by forfeit,then Cody Baldridge lost, 5-2,by Rochelle’s Alex Harveyto make the score, 12-3. RyanOlsen then dominated the171-pound match for Morris,scoring a takedown and threenear-fall points almost imme-diately against Javier Aguirre.Olsen then allowed Aguirreto escape and took him downagain before finally record-ing the fall at the 1:50 mark tohand Morris an 18-3 lead. RyanKowalczyk then won by forfeitat 182 for Morris before VictorToussaint matched Hennesey’sfeat with a 16-second win byfall over James Rosenberg toput the Redkins comfortablyahead, 30-3.
“We had a lot of quick fallstonight,” Lanning said. “Thatwas nice to see. Ryan Olsenwas very aggressive tonightin his match. All of our kidswere, really. The guys came outready and were really attack-ing. That’s the kind of team wewant to have.
“I would rather be on theattack and be proactive in amatch than wait and react towhat the other guy is doing.Some teams like to react, butI prefer to take a shot and losethan sit back and wait.”
After Toussaint’s win at195, Rochelle’s Darryl Williamspinned Charlie Clark in 1:03 topull Rochelle to within 30-9. An-drew Faught got those pointsright back for Morris in the
285-pound bout, taking 37 sec-onds to pin Will Lawhorn.
In the 106-pound match,Rochelle’s Justin Hernandezpinned Michael Milton in 2:18to make it, 36-15, before Morris’Dillon Thompson at 113 andJohn Le at 120 each won by for-feit for a 48-15 advantage.

VOLUNTEER.
Proper habitat will increase pheasant numbersLast week, I settled in for
a few wonderful days at mybrother’s house in Iowa. Itwas nice to spend some timetogether as family. As I loungedaround, I thought back to pastpheasant hunts I participatedin around the central part of thestate.
As fate would have it, mydad handed me the Friday edi-tion of the Ames Tribune. Theback page was fully dedicatedto the outdoors. There were ar-ticles on ice fishing, interestingfacts about wild turkeys, andone article that really caughtmy eye. It was titled, Build itand they will come.
I knew right away that theauthor, Steve Lekwa, wouldbe talking about habitat, itsloss, and how it can be rebuilt.He focused on the ring-neckedpheasant. That amazing animalused to be the “king” of all gamebirds, as he puts it.
For many years, the centralstates boasted massive popula-tions of these upland creatures.Hunters would travel greatdistances to pursue them. Thelocal economies benefitedfrom these hunters coming infrom all over the country. Gasstations, hotels, restaurantsand other local businessesheld open arms to the seasonalguests. Signs would hang fromstreet posts saying “Welcome
Hunters.” The Pheasant drewquite a crowd.
Things changed over theyears. We could ramble onfor pages about the myriadreasons why pheasant numbersdeclined. The real culprit how-ever, is habitat loss. As I drovehome from Iowa, I scanned thelandscape. Acre after acre, mileafter mile, and no substantialcover for the birds could reallybe found. Once in a great while,I might see a lonely patch ofConservation Reserve Programthat could possibly hold a fewbirds, but not very often. Iwished I had a snapshot of thesame land 30 years ago. It wouldbe interesting to compare.
Lekwa mentioned this inhis article. He talked about aman he spoke with who wantedto blame the red-tailed hawkfor the collapse of pheasantnumbers. He wondered whenthe Iowa Department of NaturalResources was going to releasea statement about the hawksrole in this event and do some-thing about it. Lekwa said theywouldn’t. Why? Because it’sjust not true.
He asked the man to look
around him. To take a momentand check the surrounding landand point out where a pheas-ant could survive. The mancouldn’t find any place thatwould hold birds. Point made.
Take heart, however. Goodpheasant habitat can be createdand the results would positivelyshock you. When a landowner,or habitat group, like PheasantsForever, adds the right mix ofgrasses, timber, winter cover,and water, the pheasants cannot only survive, but they canthrive.
I have witnessed severalsuch habitat projects in Illinois.These habitats were small. Bothof them were about 10 to 15acres. Despite this, the projectmanagers took great care toprovide everything needed forthe full life cycle of a ring-necked pheasant.
In both of the habitat islandsI walked through, the numberof pheasants I witnessed wasnothing short of shocking. Theylooked like chickens runningall over the place. There wereso many I almost didn’t want tohunt. It seemed like it would betoo easy.
When proper habitat exists,there are more than enoughbirds to sustain the population,satisfy hunters, and withstandnatural predation. We haveseen huge success stories
with other birds, such as wildturkeys. The same thing canhappen for the pheasant.
Even if you don’t ownenough land to create your ownhabitat island, you can supportthe efforts of conservationgroups, like Pheasants Forever.They pool the resources of mul-
tiple donors to create places forthis regal game bird to main-tain its foothold.

ANOTHER VIEW
Violent speechseen on Facebook
The United States protects free expression to a fargreater extent than other liberal democracies. But evenmany free-speech advocates are uneasy about a caseargued in the Supreme Court this week involving aPennsylvania man who took to Facebook to engage inviolent and vituperative speech about his estrangedwife and law enforcement officials.
Anthony D. Elonis vs. the United States is thequintessential “hard case” in which an odious personis seeking the protection of the First Amendment.But the court would be making bad law by upholdingElonis’ conviction and the legal theory underlying it.
After his wife left him, taking their two children,Elonis wrote: “If I only knew then what I know now,I would have smothered [you] with a pillow, dumpedyour body in the back seat, dropped you off in ToadCreek and made it look like rape and murder.” Whenhis wife obtained a Protection From Abuse order, heposted this on Facebook: “Fold up your PFA and putit in your pocket / Is it thick enough to stop a bullet?”
At his trial Elonis insisted that his posts – some ofwhich resembled rap lyrics – were “therapeutic” andnot threats to commit violence. Nevertheless, he wasconvicted under a statute making it a crime to trans-mit “any threat to kidnap any person or any threatto injure the person of another.” In his appeal, Elonisargues that to be punished for a threat, a speakermust intend to threaten. The Obama administrationcounters that it is sufficient that a “reasonable per-son” would regard the speech as threatening.
The latter approach might seem sensible, but itcould lead to punishment for protected speech that, asthe American Civil Liberties Union put it, is “crudelyor zealously expressed.” On Monday, Justice ElenaKagan noted that “we typically say that the FirstAmendment requires a kind of a buffer zone to ensurethat even stuff that is wrongful maybe is permittedbecause we don’t want to chill innocent behavior.”
Government must be very careful before it pun-ishes speech, especially if the speech doesn’t clearlyincite or threaten violence. That principle arguesfor overturning Elonis’ conviction. But we wouldmake one additional point. In a friend-of-the-courtbrief, the Domestic Violence Legal Empowermentand Appeals Project expressed concern that a rulingfor Elonis might make it harder for judges to grantrestraining orders like the one Elonis’ wife obtained.The group asked that, if the court holds that intent isrequired for a criminal threat prosecution, it should“distinguish and carefully safeguard civil protectionorders.”
We agree. A “rap lyric” about murder might beprotected by the First Amendment, but it also canserve as evidence that the author must be kept awayfrom a fearful spouse.

St. Nicholas is returning to ManhattanWhen members of St. Nicholas
Greek Orthodox Church cele-brate their patron saint’s feastday on Dec. 6, they may be able tomark the occasion with prayerson newly blessed ground in lowerManhattan.
It depends on work sched-ules at the construction site fortheir new sanctuary, which willoverlook the National September11 Memorial. This is a problemGreek Orthodox leaders welcomeafter a long, complicated legalstruggle to rebuild the tiny sanc-tuary – located 80 yards from theWorld Trade Center’s South Tow-er – which was the only churchdestroyed in the 9/11 maelstrom.
“It’s all of this powerful sym-bolism, and its link to that Sept.11 narrative, that lets people grabon to the effort to rebuild thischurch and see why it matters,”said Steven Christoforou, a youthministry leader at the Greek Or-thodox Archdiocese of America.
Facing the giant holes atground zero, he said, it wasnatural to see them as tombs, assymbols of never-ending grief.Today, the footprints of the twintowers have become fountains inreverse, with curtains of waterpouring into a dark void that dis-appears underground at the 9/11memorial and museum.
But sometime in 2016, or early2017, the new St. Nicholas Nation-al Shrine will literally shine – a
dome lit from within, throughlayers of marble and glass – overthis memorial plaza.
St. Nicholas vanished beneatha firestorm of concrete, steel,glass and heat. Few objects fromthe church survived, other thanan embroidered velvet Biblecover minus its Bible, and a bellclapper minus its bell. Workersfound marble altar fragments, atwisted candelabrum and bees-wax candles – which survivedeven though a 700-pound fire-proof safe vanished.
“We remember this veryplace filled with ruins, hidingunder piles of debris, the pulver-ized remains of 3,000 innocentvictims. Breathing a very heavyair, saturated with the dust ofstorm, wood, iron and with tinyparticles of human bodies, weremember walking with heavyhearts to the specific place whereour St. Nicholas Church stood asa building for more than a centu-ry,” said Archbishop Demetrios,leader of the Greek OrthodoxArchdiocese of America, duringrecent groundbreaking rites forthe shrine.
“We stood there frozen, para-lyzed, and cried.”
It was horrible, yet holy. A
sanctuary had become a smallcollection of relics.
One icon that did survive iscalled the Life-Giving Font. ItsByzantine image shows the Vir-gin Mary embracing the Christchild above a font of blessed wa-ter that flows into a large marblebasin below, which is shaped likea cross. In the symbolic languageof iconography, this one image –now connected to 9/11 – combinesbaptism, sacrifice, death and newlife.
When it’s time to consecratethe church, he added, its leaderswill focus on one final symbolicdetail. The safe that vanishedcontained a gold-plated ossuaryholding small bones from threesaints, including the 4th centu-ry’s St. Nicholas of Myra, the pa-tron saint of orphans, merchants,sailors and all those in distress.
“That is the time when wecan reach out to other churches”around the world dedicated to St.Nicholas, said Father EvagorasConstantinides. “That is when wewill try to find a way to replacewhat was lost and bring St. Nich-olas home again.”

CROSSWORD SUDOKU BRIDGE by Phillip Alder
CELEBRITY CIPHER
PUZZLES
L.M. Boyd, a syndicated columnist,said, “There are 350 varieties of shark,not counting loan and pool.”
In this deal, how would you countto bring home four hearts after Westleads the club queen?
When South shows four-plushearts, North adds two points for hissingleton, which makes his hand worth17 support points. That is a maximumfor a three-heart raise. (If you countlosers, which I prefer, that North handhas only five: two spades, one heart,one diamond and one club. That makeshis hand strong enough for a gameraise. But it is close with only 15 high-card points.)
When the dummy comes down,pause, relax, and start by countinglosers. Here, you have five: twospades, one diamond and two clubs.Then move to winners. There are sixtop tricks: one spade, four hearts andone club. A seventh can come fromdiamonds. But to get up to 10, youmust take seven trump tricks, not four.That means ruffing three clubs in thedummy. However, you must establishyour diamond trick first.
So, win trick one with your club aceand play your diamond to dummy’squeen. East will win with his ace andshift to a trump. What now?
You must be careful with yourentries for those club ruffs. Take thistrick with your heart ace, ruff a club inthe dummy, cash the spade ace anddiamond king, then crossruff in theminors.
You take one spade, two hearts,one diamond, one club, two diamondruffs in your hand and three club ruffson the board.
Yes, an initial trump lead defeatsthe contract. But that is tough to find.
Find the right lineby counting tricks

DEAR ABBYDear Abby: My husband and
I divorced because of anotherwoman. I took it hard, butafter a year or so, I was OK.
Fast forward to 2013: Heshows up on my doorstep,needing food and shelter, soI took him in (he’s still thefather of my children). Now Ican’t get rid of him!
He’s trying to show me he’schanged. If I didn’t know him,I’d think he wasn’t the sameman at all. I need to know ifthis is an OK situation for meto be in, because well-meaningfriends and family tell mehe won’t change; he’ll leaveagain. (I say, “As long as heabides by the terms of thedivorce, so what!”)
I don’t care if he sees otherpeople; he’s my EX. As far
as I’m concerned, he’s justrenting a room in my house.But I need to know – am Ihurting the kids by letting himstay? He seems to get alongbetter with them now than heever did, and I’d be rentingthat room to someone else ifit wasn’t him. As far as I’mconcerned, better the devil youknow than the one you don’t.
Am I doing the rightthing? And if so, how do I getwell-meaning people to stoplecturing me? – Landlady inCalifornia
Dear Landlady: I can’t see how
your ex living in the housewould hurt the children –unless he suddenly disappearsfrom their lives again. Hispresence there, even as “onlya renter,” may lessen yourchances of finding a seriousromance again, because fewif any men welcome courtinga woman under these circum-stances.
However, if you are happywith things just as they are,then when the unwelcomelectures start, all you haveto do is tell the well-meaninglecturers that you know whatyou’re doing and to please pipedown. The arrangement youhave with your ex may workbetter for both of you thanthe marriage did because itappears he is always on his
best behavior.Dear Abby: I’m pregnant with
my first baby. I use Facebookto update my family in anothercountry about my pregnancyand the little milestones thathave happened. But when I do,my cousin “Rita” takes it uponherself to turn every status Ipost into something about herand her daughter. I feel likeshe’s trying to one-up me ordivert attention away frommy child. We come from a big,tight-knit family and untilnow, her daughter was thebaby of the family.
Rita has been doing this formonths now, and I’m startingto get annoyed. How can Itell her politely to please stopstealing my thunder and turn-ing everything into something
about her? – Annoyed in theWest
Dear Annoyed: Whether she’sdoing it consciously or not, itdoes appear that Cousin Rita iscompetitive with you. It wouldbe interesting to know if shehas always been this way.
You can’t stop her fromcompeting, but you can de-velop a sense of humor whereshe’s concerned. Her bids forattention are really rather sad,and once your baby arrives, heor she will be the baby of thefamily – until Rita becomespregnant again, that is. (I’mtempted to start the count-down now.)
