An empowering championBy HEIDI LITCHFIELD
MORRIS – PhyliciaMalone of Plainfieldhas always loved
helping people.The little sister of a person
with a disability, she knowswhat it takes to care for thosewho need help.
“The special-needs popu-lation is near and dear to myheart,” Malone said. “I havea special-needs sister, andwith her being part of mylife, all my life I found it easyto interact with the patientand their family. I lived it. Iloved it.”
That dedication to caringled Malone to receive theAfrican-American HistoryMonth Public Health Cham-pion Award on Feb. 4.
“I love to help people,”Malone said Tuesday. “Beingin public health gives me thechance to empower a popula-tion that is often overlookedand underserved.”
Malone, a registerednurse, was nominated alongwith others from the North-ern Illinois Public HealthRegion, which consists ofLake, McHenry, DuPage,Kane, Kendall, Grundy, Willand Kankakee counties.
Omayra Giachello fromthe Illinois Department ofPublic Health attended aGrundy health departmentstaff meeting to presentMalone with the award.
Malone was nominated byher supervisor, Nursing Di-rector Judy Bailey, who saidshe was an obvious choice.
“Phylicia’s strongestattribute is the caring andcompassion she has for herclients,” Bailey wrote inthe nomination letter. “Shealways strives to have themleave with more confidenceand feeling empowered tomake good choices. She con-sistently goes the extra mileand has been named employ-
ee of the month numeroustimes since coming to ourhealth department.”
Malone started at thehealth department four yearsago, just four years afterbecoming a registered nurse.It was a job she didn’t knowshe wanted until she becamean EMT.
Malone graduated collegewith a degree in communica-tions and hosted a talk show
in the Quad Cities before go-ing back to school to becomean EMT.
“I was offered anotherjob in television but didn’thave the money to relocate,so I decided to become anEMT,” Malone said. “Afterthat, I transitioned to a CNA[certified nursing assistant],which led me to get my RN.”
While working as a CNA,she knew she wanted to be
in a role where she couldmake decisions and empowerothers. So she went back tonursing college as a wife andmother to two.
She attended and graduat-ed from Joliet Junior Collegeafter having her third childand becoming pregnant withher fourth. She worked inhome health care for fouryears, working with spe-cial-needs pediatric patients,
and eventually landed a jobat the Grundy County HealthDepartment.
Malone’s position at thehealth department has herwearing many hats, accord-ing to Bailey’s nominationletter.
She works as a communi-cable disease nurse, carriesa WIC and Family Case Man-agement caseload, performsimmunizations, and is thepoint of contact for all of thecounty’s Adverse PregnancyOutcomes Reporting Systemcases.
She also helps clientscomplete applications forMedicaid and follows up withthe Department of HumanServices to make sure theprocess gets completed.
“Grundy County HealthDepartment is a small healthdepartment,” according toBailey’s letter. “As anyonewho works in a small healthdepartment knows, versatil-ity, team work and the wear-ing of many hats is standardoperating procedure.”
Bailey said she is sur-prised Malone won, withso many counties involved,many of them larger.
But she was certainMalone deserved the award.

Grundy County to contracthuman resources assistant
By HEIDI [email protected]
MORRIS – The GrundyCounty Board approved Tues-day a resolution to hire anindependent contractor toprovide assistance to the newhuman resources director.
The decision came in a 12-0vote, with board membersAnn Gill, Ken Iverson, VickiGeiger and Doug Boresi ab-sent and vice chairman DavidNelson as acting chairmanwith County Board ChairmanDavid Welter absent.
Deborah Jankiewicz be-gan her position as humanresources director on Jan. 4,and a position for an assistanthas been put on hold whilejob descriptions and pay areworked out in committee.
Finance chairman JohnGalloway said the recommen-
dation to approve came out ofMonday night’s finance com-mittee because an assistant isneeded in the interim.
“We went this route be-cause the new HR director isgetting the feel for her posi-tion and instead of speedingup the hiring process, we feltit would be better to hire anindependent contractor whohas previously worked forthe county to help during thetransition,” Galloway said atTuesday night’s board meet-ing.
Jankiewicz said the con-tract is for a part-time assis-tant to work 12 to 16 hours aweek at a rate of $20 per hour,to assist with special projectwork that needs to be done.
“Linda Ragan has workedwith the county previouslyand retired, [so] she will beable to show me some thingsthat are specific to the Grun-dy County human resourceposition as well as help trainthe new assistant once one ishired,” Jankiewicz said.
The director said she hadsome concerns when looking
at the previous job descrip-tion, such as it didn’t haveminimum requirements shefelt the position requires.
“Once we get the job de-scription finalized in commit-tee we will start the search tofill the position permanent-ly,” she said.
The independent contrac-tor agreement states the po-sition is to provide outsidebookkeeping and related re-cord creation, which includesbut is not limited to quarterlyreports, quarterly sick timepayouts, $50 health care pay-outs and records retention,and provide a historical back-ground as to the past practiceand procedure for the HR di-rector position.

Open houses set for Enbridge pipeline
By FELIX [email protected]
CRETE – Open houseswill be held next week on thepre-construction phase of apipeline that will run throughGrundy and Will counties.
Enbridge plans to constructthe Line 78 pipeline from theFlanagan Terminal near Ponti-ac to its terminal near Griffith,Indiana. The 79-mile, 36-inchdiameter crude oil pipelinewill cross Livingston, Grun-dy, Kankakee, Will and Cookcounties in Illinois, as well asLake County in Indiana.
The open houses regardingthe pre-construction phase ofthe project will be Feb. 19 in
Sauk Village and Feb. 26 inCrete.
Pipeline construction willbegin this spring, with esti-mated completion in the fall.
“This is an opportunityfor stakeholders, communitymembers and others to learnabout the routes and also whatconstruction entails and whatyou can expect within yourarea,” said Jennifer Smith,Enbridge spokeswoman.
The first round of openhouses took place in 2012 andintroduced residents and oth-ers to the project’s basics, shesaid.
The pipe is being construct-ed in response to market de-mand for increased pipeline
capacity to transport crude oil,according to Enbridge.
The project will “expandEnbridge’s capacity to trans-port growing supplies of crudeoil produced in the WillistonBasin region around North Da-kota and light and heavy crudeproduction in western Cana-da,” according to the company.
Enbridge representativessaid the Line 78 pipeline willallow regional refineries moreopportunities to process U.S.
and western Canadian crudeoil and reduce reliance ontraditional supplies importedfrom outside North America.
Crete Mayor Michael Ein-horn said the Line 78 PipelineProject is “really an innocu-ous” project. Other pipelineshave passed through Cretewithout issues, he said.
“Historically, they havenot caused problems. I don’tanticipate any problems withEnbridge, quite frankly,” Ein-
horn said. “They’ve been morethan forthright in their deal-ings with the village with con-cerns about the routing earlyon. But we were able to resolvethose with communicationand cooperation.”
Einhorn said he attendedthe 2012 open houses.
An open house for the pipe-line also will be held Feb. 17 inSchererville, Indiana, and an-other in Kankakee County at alater, unspecified date.

11,20157Morris High School seeks reading specialist
Parents encouraged to take web survey on high schoolBy HEIDI LITCHFIELD
MORRIS – Morris Commu-nity High School has joined thethird statewide 5 Essentialssurvey to learn what students,staff and the community thinkabout the school climate andlearning conditions.
Principal Kelly Hussey saidthe survey is not mandatory,but the school has found theinformation gathered throughit useful. He hopes parents
will go to the school’s website,www.morrishs.org, and clickon the survey link.
“We use the data to see thearea of our strengths and ourweaknesses,” Hussey said. “Itallows us to implement ways toimprove our weaknesses andcomplement our strengths.”
The survey started Jan. 12and will end March 13. The dis-trict needs at least 20 percent ofparents to respond in order toget results, and as of Monday,it had 12 percent.
“We’ve had 80 parents startthe survey but not finish it,”Hussey said. “If just half ofthose who have started itwould finish it, we would reachour 20 percent goal.”
He said more than 90 per-cent of students already havetaken the survey, and nearly 90percent of the staff, but parentinput is equally important.
Participants are asked toanswer questions such as:
• “How often does staff in-vite you to school events?”
• “To what extent do you feelthat this school is preparingyour child for college?”
• “Overall, how satisfiedare you with the educationyour child is receiving at thisschool?”
It also asks participants toanswer to what degree theyagree or disagree with state-ments such as:
• “Offer opportunities toparticipate in making deci-sions that affect the schoolcommunity.”
• “Your voice is valued atthe school.”
Superintendent Pat Hallo-ran said he believes the districthas successfully implementedideas based on the last two sur-veys.
“It’s a valuable tool for us,”Halloran said.
Parents who do not haveaccess to a computer or the In-ternet can contact Morris Com-munity High School at 815-942-1294 to schedule computer labtime to complete the survey.

Channahon discusses housing rule changes
By JEANNE MILLSAPShaw Media Correspondent
CHANNAHON – By all in-dications, the housing marketis beginning to make stridesagain after a long recession,and Channahon trustees andcommissioners plan to beready for its rebirth.
The Village Board and thePlanning and Zoning Com-mission held a joint meetingMonday to discuss housingissues that may arise with de-velopers and residents in thefuture.
Channahon has 908 lotsplatted and without houses,but only 64 are available forindividuals to purchase.
The rest are owned by par-ties seeking a developer tobuy in bulk.
That could be a problem,Community Development Di-rector Michael Petrick said,because if last year’s growth
continues, housing demandwill exceed lots availableduring the first quarter of thisyear.
Most of the lots exist un-der homeowners’ covenants,which specify the minimumsquare footage of houses,during a time when smallerhomes are more desirable tomany.
The village is hostinga residential developmentsummit in March, and staffasked trustees and commis-sioners for their thoughts onhow to attract developers to achanged market.
“Smaller homes seem tobe the trend in new housingright now,” Petrick said.
Village zoning prohibitshouses from being smallerthan 1,800 square feet. Trust-ee Debbie Militello said shethought it was imperativefor Channahon to offer somesmaller housing choices.
“Unless a community canprovide for every stage of life,that community is doomed tofail,” she said. “We’re miss-ing some of it. ... Every homedoesn’t have to be a four-bed-room, two-story, and smallerdoesn’t mean less quality.”
Militello said she has longbelieved the village should of-fer nice homes of varying siz-es that could serve everyone,from recent college graduatesto families and seniors want-ing to downsize.
“I agree,” Planning andZoning Chairwoman KarenCiarlette said. “We need to ca-ter to everybody.”
One problem, the boardsdiscussed, is the homeowners’covenants. Existing home-owners also do not usuallywant new houses built small-er. That situation occurredrecently in the WedgewoodHeights subdivision, Ciarlettesaid.
C o m m i s s i o n e r C h a n -tal Host suggested invitinghomeowners’ associations tomeet with the village to dis-cuss how decreasing housing
square footage might work forneighborhoods.
“I just know that the houseI grew up in with three kids,two dogs and two parentswouldn’t be allowed to be builttoday,” Village President JoeCook said. “And we thought itwas fine.”
New variances to considerThe joint boards also dis-
cussed what additional resi-dential housing variances, ifany, might be considered inthe future. Variances are al-
lowed in some instances forsetbacks, lot sizes, parkingand sign issues.
Ordinances don’t allow foran increase in the height of agarage to allow for the storageof a recreational vehicle, ac-cording to Petrick.
“I think as a smaller com-munity, we should hear itout,” Commissioner Jeff Si-mon said about homeownerswho want to make requestsregarding other variances.“It’s a friendly neighborhoodthing. Let them speak.”
“People need to be heard,”Trustee Missey Schumakersaid, “then they’ve had theirsay.”
The Channahon villagestaff plan on surveying areamunicipalities for variancecomparisons and bringing theresults back to the boards.
“I think it would behooveus to broaden that spectrumup,” Cook said. “Nothingprohibits anyone from com-ing to a meeting and askingfor something. ... We look atthings on a case-by-case ba-sis.”
Village now prohibits building newhomes smaller than 1,800 square feet
“I just know that thehouse I grew up in withthree kids, two dogs andtwo parents wouldn’tbe allowed to be builttoday. And we thought
it was fine.”Joe Cook

Homemade caramel a sweet Valentine’s Day treatBy JUDY HEVRDEJSChicago Tribune
Chocolate may be the go-tosweet for Valentine’s Day, butit’s time to show caramel a lit-tle love. It’s been relegated to asupporting role in beribbonedboxes of candy for too long. Sothis year, we’re letting cara-mel star.
Golden brown caramel isversatile enough to hold itsown as a candy, plain or em-bellished with sea salt or a dipin chocolate. Tuck a softer ver-sion of its buttery sweetnessbetween cake layers or use it tosandwich cookies. As a sauce,it gilds so many desserts.
“Transforming cloyingwhite sugar into nuanced tee-tering-on-the-edge-of-bittercaramel is an example of whatI love most about cooking,”writes Martha Holmberg in“Modern Sauces” (ChronicleBooks, $35). “You can startwith one thing and you turnit into another, much betterthing.”
Soft CaramelsPrep: 30 minutesCook: 20 minutes
Makes: about 72 pieces
Adapted from “Chocolates andConfections at Home with theCulinary Institute of America”(Wiley, $34.95). You’ll need a candythermometer for this one becausecooking it to the right temperature
is crucial, notes chef-author PeterP. Greweling. He suggests leavingcaramels plain or dipping them inmelted chocolate. We sprinkledours with a pinch of sea salt.
! cup water2 cups sugar1 vanilla bean, pod split length-
wise and seeds scraped1 can (14 ounces) sweetened
condensed milk1 cup light corn syrup1! sticks (12 tablespoons)
unsalted butter, softened1 teaspoon salt
1. Butter well a 9-by-13-inchbaking pan. Combine water, sugar,vanilla bean pod and seeds, con-densed milk, corn syrup and butterin a heavy-bottomed 4-quart sauce-pan. Heat to a boil over high heat,stirring constantly with a heat-re-sistant rubber spatula. Continuestirring while cooking, loweringheat to medium-high or medium, tokeep mixture at a gentle boil, untilmixture reaches 245 degrees F on acandy thermometer.2. Remove saucepan from heat;
stir in salt. Pour into prepared pan;use a fork to remove vanilla bean
pod. Cool completely at roomtemperature, at least 2 hours.Remove sheet of caramels frompan. If caramel sticks, use an offsetspatula to loosen from the pan. Cutinto desired size pieces; we cutthem about 1 by 1! inches. Wrapindividually in cellophane or waxedpaper if they won’t be consumed ina day or two.

A simple soft caramel from “Chocolates and Confections, at Home with the Culinary Institute of America”is the easiest way to go.
Cooking tips
Caramel-making tips fromauthor Martha Holmberg andthe Tribune test kitchen:• Caramels tend to foam
during cooking. Use asaucepan larger than youmight think for the amountof ingredients (at least threetimes the volume) to preventboil-overs.• Do not use a pan with a
nonstick surface; carameltemperatures are too hotfor it.• Avoid dark saucepans, it
will be difficult to judge color.• Use only heat-resistant
utensils (spoons, spatulas,etc.)• Caramels scorch eas-
ily. Stir constantly duringcooking, if indicated in recipe;moderate the heat.• Pay attention. Do not step
away from the stove duringcooking. The flavor can gofrom mellow to burned in aninstant.• Judge caramel color by
using a metal teaspoon to dipa tiny amount onto a whiteplate.

Eau de jet:Airlines usemood-alteringair fresheners
For cats and dogs that don’t like to travel, petowners can buy “calming” sprays to ramp downanxiety. Now airlines are doing the same thing totheir passengers.
Delta infuses its planes with an aroma it calls“Calm.” It intends to create “a more relaxing envi-ronment” for passengers, The Wall Street Journalrecently reported.
United is spritzing its lounges and boarding cor-ridors with a scent it calls “Landing.” In this, avia-tion joins other industries practicing a new form ofconsumer manipulation called “scent marketing.”
It’s a dangerous business for any industry, giventhe number of Americans with allergies – or simplyaversion – to chemical scents. For the airlines inparticular, it’s wrong because their customerscannot easily escape.
Scent marketing is not new. Three years ago,a grocery store in New York was caught infusingits air with the scent of chocolate and fresh-bakedbread, in hopes of stimulating sales.
A North Carolina company that sells smellspromises, “These scents will make consumersspend more.” Ironically, the rise of “nebulizationtechnology” – which distributes scent in a largespace through fans or air-conditioning units –comes at a time when many companies are adopt-ing fragrance-free policies.
Of particular concern are aromas meant to alteralertness and mood. A company called Nature’sBaby makes a spray for a baby’s crib that is mar-keted as a “special sleepy scent.”
Febreze hawks a lavender-based spray as anadult sleep aid. Consumer participation, however,is voluntary, unlike on a plane or in an airportterminal.
Presumably, Delta’s “Calm” is just a pleasantscent, not a poppy field at 40,000 feet.
But it sounds otherwise, and even without sinis-ter implications and the health issues that inhalingchemicals suggests, many people just can’t abideperfume. If the airlines want to provide pleasingfragrances, they should bake cookies on board.

SPRINGFIELD – Americanscare too little about educationand too much about diplomas.
Here in Springfield weextol the virtues of AbrahamLincoln, our native son, whodespite having little formalschooling taught himself.
Steve Jobs, Bill Gates andLarry Ellison rose to be thetitans of high tech. And none ofthem obtained college degrees.
But when it comes to politi-cians, Americans have a differ-ent standard. We haven’t hada president without a collegediploma since Harry Truman.
The Washington Post reportsthat not one member of the U.S.Senate doesn’t have at least abachelor’s degree.
In fact, our last three presi-dents all hold advanced degreesfrom Ivy League institutions. Isour nation better off for it? It’sdebatable.
Unfortunately, a college di-
ploma has become a litmus testfor some voters on whether theywill support a candidate.
A good case in point is Wis-consin Gov. Scott Walker.
More than a few liberalsare clicking their tongues andshaking their heads, becausethis presidential hopeful doesn’thave a college degree. He quithis senior year at MarquetteUniversity to take a job.
It doesn’t bother me one iotahe doesn’t have a college degree.
I’m much more concernedabout a person’s willingness tolearn and their life experiences.
Look no further than the lateU.S. Sen. Paul Simon of Illinois.
He never held a collegedegree and was able to found
the graduate program where Ireceived my master’s degree.
He went on to found whatis now the Paul Simon PublicPolicy Institute at SouthernIllinois University. As a youngman, he went into business forhimself and eventually owned achain of 14 newspapers.
Increasingly, colleges arepricing themselves out of reachof many families. Inevitably,the marketplace will create lesscostly learning alternatives.
And to evaluate the effective-ness of such programs, the ques-tion to be asked isn’t whetherpeople have degrees but wheth-er they are educated.

It’s already tourney time for someDon’t look now, but the
IHSA basketball postseason isalready upon us.
Girls action actually start-ed Monday night, and a coupleof area teams already have re-gional wins under their belts.In the Class 1A SomonaukRegional, Gardner-SouthWilmington upended Dwight,49-17, while in the Class 2AReed-Custer Regional, Senecahanded Wilmington a 46-22thumping. Now comes thehard part for those two teams.
Seneca, the third seed inthe six-team regional, wasset to take on second-seededBeecher at Reed-Custer at 7:30p.m. Tuesday. Meanwhile,Gardner-South Wilmington,seeded fourth in the five-teamevent, takes on No. 1 Newarktonight at 6.
As far as the larger schoolsin the area go, let’s just saythey weren’t done any favors.
Morris and Coal City, with17 and 20 wins, respectively,are the bottom two seeds inthe five-team Class 3A Provi-dence Catholic Regional. Theyplay each other at 7 p.m. Feb.17 with the winner gettingto face top seed Lincoln-WayWest.
I have a feeling thatMorris will have a little extraincentive against Coal City inthe opener. Not only are theCoalers a local rival, but theRedskins were ousted by Lin-coln-Way West in a tight gamein last year’s regional, 56-53.
The two teams playedagain earlier this season atthe Ottawa Tournament in agame that will definitely notmake the Redskins’ seasonhighlight reel. West beat them66-36 and essentially had theirway with Morris after the firstquarter.
Coal City, meanwhile,recently won the champion-ship of the Interstate EightConference Tournament forthe second straight year. IfMorris wants that rematchwith Lincoln-Way West, theteam would do well not to
underestimate the Coalers.The other two teams in the
regional are Joliet CatholicAcademy, which finishedsecond in the state in Class 3Ato Montini last year, and Prov-idence Catholic. It’s nothingnew, as the same five teamswere together in the regionallast year, as well. JCA andProvidence played for theregional title, with the Angelscoming away with a 50-30 win.
In Class 4A, Minookasports a 19-6 record, yetgarnered just the fourthseed in the five-team OttawaRegional. The Indians willplay fifth-seeded Moline at 7p.m. Monday, with the winnergetting to face top-seeded RockIsland at 6 the next night. No.2 East Moline and No. 3 Otta-wa will play immediately afterthat game.
Wrestling tourneysThe wrestling postsea-
son already is underway, aswell. After taking second toWilmington at the InterstateEight Conference Tourna-ment, Coal City rebounded towin the Class 1A regional titleover the Wildcats at ChicagoAgricultural Science. Afterthe individual tournamentis over, the Coalers will takepart in the Plano Dual TeamSectional.
Individuals who qualifiedfor sectionals will wrestle thisweekend. In Class 1A, CoalCity wrestlers will be at Wilm-ington and Seneca wrestlerswill be at Oregon. In Class2A, Morris wrestlers will beat Sterling. Minooka’s Class3A advancers will wrestle atNormal Community.

BEARS ANALYSIS
BLACKHAWKS
So many questions to answer at linebacker
Pucks finally go in for Hossa
By KEVIN [email protected]
With a new general man-ager and coach, and plenty ofquestions about which playersare returning, the Bears’organization is difficult togauge when it comes to addingfree agents, and how much theteam will be willing to spend.
We know GM Ryan Pacebelieves in building throughthe draft, but you can counton some free-agent additionswhen it all begins on March 10.
We’ll go position-by-posi-tion breaking down where theBears stand, who their optionsare and who they could targetnext month. Today, we analyzethe linebacker position.
Note: We will do our best tolook at linebackers who fit ina 3-4 defense, even though theBears have not announced abase scheme. Regardless, weshould expect several differentfronts.
Current Bears situation: Noposition has more questionsthan this one. Returningare five young players – JonBostic, Christian Jones, SheaMcClellin, Khaseem Greeneand DeDe Lattimore. LanceBriggs is set to be a free agent.
We don’t know how defen-sive coordinator Vic Fangiosees these Bears fitting in his
scheme. Not to mention, whathave we learned about Bostic,Jones and McClellin to accu-rately predict a role they couldhave in the 2015 Bears defense?
Bostic and Jones have theskills to be scheme-versatile,and McClellin could be a rushlinebacker. But what aboutthe defensive ends who couldstand up in a 30-front defense?Does this regime want tobring Briggs back as an insidelinebacker?
Dream on: Justin Houston isthe top of the linebacker class.He is 26 and has 48! careersacks – including 22 last year.The Chiefs will do whateverit takes to keep Houston, butif he gets to free agency, theBears – with a big need atpass rusher – should stronglyconsider Houston, despite thehigh price tag.
The other top pass rushers,who should come at a slightly
lower price, are Brian Orakpo,Pernell McPhee and JerryHughes. Orakpo, who turns 29in July, had 10 sacks in 2013,but had season-ending injuriesin 2014 and 2012. McPheeshould cash in after 7! sackslast season, and he just turned26. The Bills have made it clearthey want to re-sign Hughes,who was much better at de-fensive end in Buffalo than hewas in Indianapolis.
Chicago connections: DanSkuta had five sacks last year,seeing more playing time thanusual at outside linebacker forFangio’s 49ers defense, as mostof his career had been on spe-cial teams. Twenty-eight-year-old Michael Wilhoite filled inat inside linebacker for Fangioin 2014, putting together acareer year with 87 tackles.
If he wasn’t coming offback-to-back season-ending in-juries, D.J. Williams would bea better option. He spent twoyears with new Bears coachJohn Fox in Denver, and whilehe is probably better as a“Mike” in a 4-3, he has playedinside in a 3-4.
Fox’s former middlelinebacker in Denver, NateIrving, will be 27 in July butis coming off a season-endingknee injury.
Other options: There’s aplethora of outside linebackers
available. Jason Worilds, whoturns 27 next month, has beena steady cog in the Steelers’linebacking corps with 15!sacks over the past two sea-sons. Brandon Graham, whowill be 27 in April, has saidhe’d prefer to play 4-3 defen-sive end, but had 5! sacks lastyear for the Eagles. BrooksReed can play inside or outsideand missed only four games inhis four seasons in Houston.Jabaal Sheard’s sack totalshave dropped off over his fourseasons, but he played in a 3-4in Cleveland. Tennessee willtry to re-sign Derrick Morgan,who had at least six sacks ineach of the past three seasons,and he’s only 26.
Veteran edge rushers whowould be one-year-deal-typeplayers include Osi Umeny-iora, Dwight Freeney, JohnAbraham and Kroy Biermann,
although not all are as com-fortable in a 3-4.
At inside linebacker, ifthe Bears want a one-year,stopgap run-stopper (asidefrom Briggs) who could helpthe younger players, longtimeJet David Harris is hitting freeagency. Harris hasn’t misseda game since 2008 and has 120-plus tackles in five of his eightNFL seasons.
Colin McCarthy, who turns27 in May, missed all of lastyear with a shoulder injury. Ifhe could stay healthy, DarrylSharpton returning to theBears to compete for an insidelinebacker role would makesense, a spot he racked up thetackles in with the Texans.
Other young inside line-backers to keep in mind in-clude Brandon Spikes, AkeemDent, Jamari Lattimore, NickBellore and Kelvin Sheppard.

CHICAGO – Talk about aquick change. Two games ago,Marian Hossa was fieldingquestions about his slump. Inat least two languages.
A man who had scored 474goals in his productive 1,142-game career had managed onlytwo goals in 15 games since Jan.1. When a player is 36 years old,that raises eyebrows.
“Maybe it’s because of age,”he said, joking about turning36 on Jan. 12, then dashing thattheory. “I feel good. Lots ofchances. The puck just doesn’twant to go in.”
Fast-forward through Sun-day and Monday. In 1,144games, Hossa now has 478goals, another stride towardthe 500-goal club. After scoringfour goals against the Bluesand Coyotes, the 12-time All-Star was explaining his hothand – to a Czech TV crew andthen, to Chicago media.
“Sometimes you’re gettinggreat chances and great oppor-tunities, but the puck doesn’tgo in,” Hossa said. “Then youjust go around the net, shoottwo times and there’s two goals.You just have to keep workinghard and good things happen.”
No question, his two goalsagainst Arizona on Monday
were set up by two fine passesfrom Jonathan Toews in thecorner. Hossa also put himselfin the right place – going to thenet – on his first goal in St. Lou-is on Sunday, then added anempty-netter. But that’s whatgoal-scorers do. They put them-selves in the right position.
Beyond scoring goals, Hossaserves as a reminder to team-mates who could benefit fromfollowing his example of play-ing determined defense and go-ing to the net.
Wise hockey players oftentalk about keeping the gamesimple, about how defenseleads to scoring. With Hossa,that seems to be ingrained.

How does he getfrom there to here?
Shani Davis, who won themen’s 1,000 meter speedskatingraces at the 2006 and 2010 WinterOlympics, said: “Mentally, my keyis just focusing on the little thingsI need to do in a race, whetherthat’s tempo, turn entry, startspeed, things like that. I’m notthinking about that much beforeor during a race. I just trust in myability and all the hard work I putin and let the race come to me.”
Some bridge players play onautopilot, but it will not oftenwork well. The tempo – timing –and entry situation can be critical,as in this deal.
How should South play in threeno-trump after West leads hisfourth-highest spade?
South is too weak to respondtwo clubs and arguably too strongfor a weak jump response of threeclubs (if you use that gadget).
South starts with only four toptricks: one spade, two hearts andone diamond. He can guaranteea second spade trick by playinglow from the dummy at trick one.But he will still need to get severalclub tricks. And a defender withthe club ace who learned the gamebefore breakfast this morningwill know not to take the first clubtrick but to wait until the second,when dummy is playing its lastclub. Then, for South to cash hisfour club winners, he will need ahand entry. Where is that entry?
It must come from spades, andwill do so only if declarer takesthe first trick with dummy’s spadeace. He must not run the lead tohis hand. After driving out theclub ace, if the defenders shift,South will win and play a spadehimself to generate that handentry.

Dear Doctor K: I have chron-ic pancreatitis. Will it help tostop drinking at this point? Oris it too late?
Dear Reader: It is never toolate to stop further damage tothe pancreas, but it may be toolate to reverse damage donein the past. However, that’swater under the bridge. Whatyou want to do now is stopfurther damage.
Pancreatitis is inflamma-tion of the pancreas, a largegland located behind thestomach. (I’ve put an illustra-tion showing the location ofthe pancreas on my web-site, AskDoctorK.com.) Theinflammation during attacksof pancreatitis can kill someof the cells in the pancreas. Itcan also lead to scarring andpermanent damage.
The pancreas produc-
es digestive enzymes andhormones. Damage to thecells that produce digestiveenzymes can cause problemswith digestion of food and theabsorption of nutrients in thefood. Because of the digestiveproblems, people with chronicpancreatitis can lose weightand become malnourished.
Damage to the cells thatproduce hormones – partic-ularly insulin and other hor-mones that affect blood sugarlevels – can cause diabetes.
The worst symptom ofpancreatitis is pain in theabdomen. Early in the disease,the pain comes in attacks,
separated by pain-free peri-ods. Later in the disease, thepain can be present almostconstantly.
Most often, the pain is highin the middle of the abdomen,just above the belly button.The pain often spreads to themiddle of the back. Nauseaand vomiting often accompa-ny the pain. Attacks are oftentriggered by meals and bydrinking alcoholic beverages.Some people can reduce thepain by sitting up and leaningforward.
Most cases of chronicpancreatitis are caused byongoing overuse of alcohol.People who continue to drinkafter one or more episodes ofalcohol-related acute pan-creatitis are more likely todevelop chronic pancreatitis.Anyone who has had an acute
episode should stop drinkingentirely. This will help to low-er the chances of developingchronic pancreatitis.
In my experience, peoplewho quit drinking alcohol en-tirely often have only mild oroccasional symptoms. Thosewho continue to drink alcoholcan have disabling, daily pain,requiring frequent hospital-izations.
Chronic pancreatitiscannot be cured. However, thevarious problems it causescan be treated. For milderpain, acetaminophen (Tylenol)or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin)may help. But many peopleneed stronger, narcotic med-ications. Pain managementcan be very challenging, and itmay help to see a pain special-ist. In rare cases, surgery maybe done to relieve pain.
Digestive enzymes can helpwith problems digesting foodand the resulting vitamin defi-ciencies. They come in pill orcapsule form. Your doctor alsomay suggest that you follow alow-carbohydrate, high-pro-tein diet that restricts sometypes of fats.
Diabetes caused by chronicpancreatitis usually requirestreatment with insulin.
You can do more to protectyourself from future suffer-ing than your doctor can dofor you. The most importantthing is to find help to stopdrinking.
