MORRIS – Advanced Span-ish students at Morris Com-munity High School are in-creasing the fluency that theyspeak and hear Spanish withthe addition of the ForeignLanguage Computer Lab intro-duced last year.
“The software on the com-puter allows them to talk toeach other with the aid ofheadphones,” MCHS teacherBecky Ortega said. “It recordsthe conversations and allowsthem to listen to themselves.”
Teachers also are able to goin and listen to recorded con-versations to better help all thestudents.
T e a c h e r L e i g h A n nGrabowski said a typical50-minute class does not allowenough time for one-on-one in-teraction with each student forspeaking and listening, but theaddition of the lab allows allstudents to get more hands-ontime.
During the 2013-14 schoolyear, the school finished build-ing and outfitting the newForeign Language ComputerLab. The lab uses Sony Virtu-oso Digital Language Lab soft-ware, which creates a special-ized foreign language learningenvironment.
The language software isbeing used by AP Spanishclasses, but the departmenthopes to eventually use it forboth first- and second-levelclasses.
“It saves class time withspeaking assessments,” Ortegasaid, which leaves more timefor classroom instruction.
Leah Lines, an AP Spanish4 student, said she likes howeach pair can focus on theirconversation without hearingother students talking, whichcan prove distracting for some.
“It gives us the chance tospeak more often,” studentBridget Gile said. “It’s intimi-dating being told you have totalk for two minutes. With thisprogram you get a feel for howlong two minutes really is, andit builds confidence.”
Student Jessica Carey said
the software has improved herinterpersonal speaking skillsby pairing her with anotherstudent in class and present-ing her with a topic to discuss.
She said listening andspeaking Spanish are differentthan learning to read it, andhaving the program helps withboth aspects.
“It’s really helpful,” Careysaid.
The teacher is then able tolisten in on the conversations,either to help a student withhis or her enunciation or tograde the exchange.
Ortega said the software al-lows the teacher to listen in todifferent conversations, givingthem the opportunity to quick-ly go from one conversation tothe other to see who is havingdifficulty in each area.
Department Chairwom-an Susan Womack said she’sbeen experimenting with theprogram, but feels the young-er teachers have more exper-tise with the program. She isexcited to see how it helps thestudents as they work throughtheir AP class.
Teacher Diane Lincoln saidit’s more valid practice, andhas created an increased inter-
est by introducing technologyto the subject.
“The kids are interested inhearing themselves, and theybenefit from hearing them-selves,” Lincoln said.
MCHS recently becamea designated testing locationfor the Spanish AP exam. InAP Spanish, Womack said stu-dents are able to earn collegecredit for the class.

Pasternak will not be on ballot for Gardner fire districtBy CHRISTINA
CHAPMAN–VAN [email protected]
GARDNER – There will bethree names instead of four onthe ballot for the Gardner FireProtection District Board.
The Grundy County Elec-toral Board ruled Friday infavor of objector Barbara Bak-
er, also a candidate for the fireprotection board, to keep Mi-chael Pasternak off the April 7ballot due to a violation of elec-tion code requirements.
Last week, objections werefiled against the petitions oftwo board candidates by athird candidate. There aretwo positions available on theboard: one for a four-year term
and the other for a six-yearterm.
Baker, running for the six-year term, filed objections tothe petitions of Todd Perkinsand Pasternak, who also arerunning for the six-year term.
The Electoral Board metTuesday and ruled in favor ofPerkins, allowing his name tobe on the ballot despite Bak-
er’s claims he did not fastenhis petition papers securely.According to the official rul-ing released Friday, the docu-ments were securely fastenedwith a paper clip, which theboard found acceptable.
On Friday, the board ruledin favor of Baker regarding thePasternak case.
The objection against Pas-
ternak claimed he failed to filea Statement of Economic Inter-ests with the Grundy CountyClerk. The Electoral Boardagreed with the objection, ac-cording to the findings of factfrom the board, as he had astatement on file for a previ-ous position with the village
Personnel Committee discusses reverted fundsMental health resolution passed Tuesday
By HEIDI [email protected]
MORRIS – The GrundyCounty Personnel Committeemet Thursday only to find outone of its agenda items hadalready been approved at thefull County Board meeting twodays earlier.
William Pfalzgraf, direc-
tor of court services in the13th Judicial Circuit, whichoversees Bureau, LaSalle andGrundy counties, came to thecommittee to discuss the costsassociated with hiring a spe-cialty court officer for the 13thJudicial District to handle theGrundy County Drug Courtand the new Mental HealthCourt.
The Mental Health Court
will divert nonviolent, mental-
ly ill offenders away from pris-
ons and into a rehabilitation
program.
Money from a grant from
Adult Redeploy Illinois for
$51,380 will cover the salary of
the probation officer needed for
the two specialty courts, but it
doesn’t cover the benefits.
A resolution to provide a
contribution to cover the bene-
fits went in front of the Finance
Committee on Monday, where
Chairman John Galloway said
it was sent to Personnel to be
discussed further.
“We thought they were com-
ing back to us with informa-
tion on the benefits,” Person-
nel Chairwoman Vicki Geiger
said Friday. “Finance sent it
back to Personnel.”
But somehow that was not
communicated, according to
Galloway, Geiger and County
Board Vice Chairman David
Nelson, and the resolution
was placed on the full County
Board’s consent agenda and
passed Tuesday night.
“It was supposed to be sent
to Personnel for one final
look,” Nelson said Friday. “It’s
embarrassing. Fortunately, it
was something that had the full

Morris-area educators embracefree community college proposal
By FELIX [email protected]
JOLIET – President BarackObama has proposed makingcommunity college free, givinglow-income families greater ac-cess to higher education.
It’s a proposal many Illinoiseducators – including thosefrom the Morris area – wel-come. Many students attendcommunity college because itprovides educational opportu-nities that might otherwise beclosed to them.
Obama proposed studentswho attend community col-leges must maintain at least apart-time status, a 2.5 GPA andmake steady progress towardcompleting their program tohave their tuition eliminated.
Many details of Obama’splan are still uncertain, butWhite House officials an-nounced if all states partici-pated, an estimated 9 millionstudents could benefit and afull-time community collegestudent could save an averageof $3,800 in annual tuition.
Making community collegefree could makeattending JolietJunior Collegemore accessible,JJC PresidentDebra Danielssaid. She saidmost of the col-lege’s studentswork part-timeand must attend classes over alonger period as a result.
Easing the financial burdencould help them complete theireducation faster, she said. Butit’s only one piece of the costsstudents must pay for college.
“There are books, fees andliving expenses. So when yousay free tuition, it’s just a piece,but students have to be moti-vated to make the rest of it hap-pen. [Obama’s proposal] wouldbe a pathway for access,” shesaid.
White House officials saidfederal funding would cover 75percent of the average cost ofcommunity college. States thatparticipate must contribute theremaining money to eliminatetuition for eligible students.
Daniels said that structureis concerning because Illinoishas a strapped budget and its
apportionment for communitycollege funding has diminishedannually. But if it were insti-tuted, she assumes the collegewould receive more students.
“We’re certainly ready totake on more students. We havemore capacity to do that,” Dan-iels said. “We can scale up pret-ty fast. That’s one of the advan-tages of community colleges iswe can add programs at a fasterpace.”
The plan would need to en-sure state support for tuition isnot provided to students whoalready can afford to attendcommunity colleges, said Kar-en Hunter Anderson, IllinoisCommunity College Board ex-ecutive director.
She said the ICCB has pro-moted increasing the numberof Monetary Award Programgrants awarded in the past sev-eral years, since state financialaid and community collegesare underfunded.
“We would hope the priori-ties of the state would be to in-crease the commitment to fund-ing community colleges firstand also increase the numberof MAP grants,” she said.
High school educators inMorris and Joliet supportedObama’s plan.
Morris Community HighSchool Superintendent PatrickHalloran said he is a productof community college, havingattended Kankakee Communi-ty College.
“I am a believer in the com-munity college system. Wesend a pretty good percentageof students to JJC from MorrisCommunity High School. It’s agreat prefatory opportunity forthem,” he said.
Between 65 and 75 percent ofthe Morris high school’s gradu-ating class went to college lastyear. Of that, 35 percent attend-
ed JJC, he said. Both the highschool and JJC have dual-cred-it opportunities for students.
Alexshea Arroyo, JolietWest High School counselor,said community colleges pro-vide an excellent opportunityfor students, especially thosewho struggle financially. Shesaid an estimated 55 percent ofgraduating seniors attend JJC.
Many students go to com-munity colleges because of theaffordability.
“They might not be dead seton a major … they can exploremore without consequence.Some of them are not ready toleave home,” she said.

MINOOKA – Minooka Com-munity High School has a newprincipal who will begin serv-ing the district’s two campusesJune 1.
A two-year contract wasunanimously approved Thurs-day by the school board forRonald Kiesewetter, who willreceive a $130,000 salary thefirst year and an amount to bedetermined the second year.
MCHS District 111 Superin-tendent Jim Blanche said Kie-sewetter, cur-rently principala t Y o r k v i l l eHigh School, isa good fit for theMinooka dis -trict.
“ R o n i s aperson of integ-rity and is verypositive and upbeat,” Blanchesaid.
There was a pool of candi-dates from which to choose,Blanche said, and Kiesewetterrose to the top.
Former MCHS Princi -pal Darci Kubinski resignedlast July, saying she neededto spend more time with heryoung children and to helpwith a family business. Sincethen, Matt Wikoff has servedas interim principal, and BertKooi has been interim assis-tant principal.
Finding a new principalwas an extensive process, ac-cording to Blanche.
“I worked with a consul-tant, and we screened the pooldown to a dozen people,” hesaid.
Blanche and the consultantused a scoring rubric and oth-er means to further narrow thecandidates to four. They werescreened and interviewed bya 15-member committee thatincluded teachers and admin-istrators.
“One person rose to thetop,” Blanche said, “and that
was Ron.”B l a n c h e a l s o v i s i t e d
Yorkville High School andrequested private interviewswith several district staff, in-cluding custodians, teachersand social workers.
“The response was abso-lutely phenomenal,” he said.
Kiesewetter could not bereached for comment Friday,but in a news release issuedby MCHS, he said he lookedforward to joining the districtand liked the schools’ diversecurricula.
“I also admire the way thefaculty and staff have main-tained such a caring andpositive environment givenrecent changes within the dis-trict’s leadership,” he said inthe news release. “Studentsare continuing to achieve ata high level, which says a lotabout the quality of teachersand staff the school has.”
Kiesewetter’s biggest chal-lenges the first year, Blanchesaid, will be dealing with thenew PARCC assessment andmaking first-year connectionsand relationships. Blanchesaid Wikoff and Kooi havedone a good job leading theschools between principals.
Bluff Roadinterchange agreement
Also at this week’s schoolboard meeting, members ap-proved an intergovernmentalagreement between severallocal taxing bodies and thevillage of Channahon. Thegovernments are agreeing touse portions of their propertytaxes for the next 15 years topay for improvements to theInterstate 55-Bluff Road inter-change area.
Blanche said the farmlandproperty now brings the highschool district less than $700a year in taxes, and the agree-ment will benefit the districtin the long run.
Summer driver’s educationfees also were increased from$265 to $325.

Pasternak said Friday eve-ning he believed in giving thevoters a choice, but that hewould not be appealing this de-cision.
“There has been enoughmoney spent on frivolousstuff,” he said.
This leaves Baker and Per-kins running for the six-yearterm and incumbent John Hol-lmeyer running for the four-year term.
Grundy County State’s At-torney Jason Helland, a mem-ber of the Electoral Board, saidFriday candidates can appealthe decisions and have 10 daysto do so.
Helland sat on the boardwith County Clerk Kay Olsonand Circuit Clerk Karen Slat-
tery. Helland said they chose tonot hire a hearing officer for theproceedings since Helland is anattorney and was equipped todo the research for the cases.By not hiring an hearing offi-cer, Helland said this saved thecounty $7,500 to $10,000.
“I felt it wasn’t appropriateto spend the taxpayers’ moneyon it,” he said.
The decisions for both caseswere agreed upon by the board,3-0, Helland said.

Geiger agreed the resolu-tion was going to be passed ei-ther way, but said board mem-bers need to take a better lookat the consent agendas beforemeetings.
Galloway said he has beenon the board since 2006, and theconsent agenda is a relativelynew thing, having been instat-ed in the past two years by for-mer Chairman Ron Severson tohelp speed up the board meet-ings.
He said he can’t recall any-thing like this passing withoutbeing noticed in the last twoyears, but he will be sure itdoesn’t happen again.
“The consent agenda isn’t abad thing, but I admit I don’t
look as hard as I should,” Gal-loway said. “I never thoughtsomething would be put onthere without the committeeit came out of placing it there.This will make me review eachagenda better.”
The issue was pointed out inPersonnel by State’s AttorneyJason Helland once the presen-tation by Pfalzgraf started.
Members of the Personnelboard said their technologywasn’t working correctly thenight of the board meeting, and
board member John Roth saidat the meeting Tuesday that thelinks on the agenda on his iPadwere not working.
“Technical difficultieswouldn’t allow the links towork, [which] is the main prob-lem,” Nelson said. “That is be-ing addressed.”

Ethics order good1st step for Rauner
While he was busy sorting out the executive or-ders his predecessor left behind, Gov. Bruce Raunertook the time to sign an executive order of his own.
On Tuesday, Rauner signed an executive order onethics, “which tightens ethical requirements for allstate employees to ensure they adhere to the higheststandards of honesty, integrity and impartialitywhile working for the people of Illinois,” accordingto a news release.
Among the order’s highlights:• Former state employees can’t accept positions
as a paid lobbyist or with a lobbying entity for oneyear after leaving their position;
• Restricts gifts from prohibited sources by stateemployees, their spouse or immediate family mem-bers living with that employee. They are not allowedto solicit or knowingly accept any gift from thosesources;
• State employees now must identify whetherthey, their spouse or their children younger thanage 18 have more than a 5 percent interest in a prop-erty in which the state is a tenant, lessor or otherinterest in the property;
• State employees must disclose, regardlesswhether they are paid, any nongovernmental posi-tions they hold. These positions may be with busi-ness entities, nonprofit organizations, labor groups,educational institutions and any other type of entity;
• State employees, their spouse and any childrenyounger than the age of 18 must disclose any ongo-ing litigation in which they are a named party withthe state. They also must disclose whether they haveany financial interests in lawsuits against the state.
“The state of Illinois needs to rebuild its trustwith its citizens, and today’s executive order takessteps to ensure that starts now,” Rauner said, in thenews release. “We have a moral obligation to rebuildthe reputation within our state, along with ourperception within the country, to ultimately renewtaxpayers’ faith in government.”
This is a good first step, and our hope is thatRauner can take it even further. During the cam-paign, he railed against “cronyism” in the Quinn ad-ministration, and many politically connected “staffassistants” were added to the Illinois Department ofTransportation during Quinn’s tenure.
At last count, more than 100 of these peopleremained on the payroll. During the campaign,Rauner also talked of rooting out the cronyism thathas landed state jobs for the politically connectedin the Illinois Department of Central ManagementServices – and perhaps it’s time he focused a micro-scope there and on other state agencies, as well.
In a season of sacrifice, many Illinoisans wouldagree that state jobs for the politically connected areexpendable.

Can McConnell really make the Senate better?To outsiders, some of the
changes new Majority LeaderMitch McConnell will bring tothe Senate might seem like insidebaseball. But they could bringabout a huge improvement inthe way the Senate works. Andthat could in turn lead to a hugeimprovement in the way Washing-ton works.
McConnell’s restoration ofwhat is called “regular order”will give both Republican andDemocratic lawmakers somethingthey have not had in eight yearsunder Harry Reid: the chance tohave actual input into the makingof laws.
Now, McConnell promises toopen up bills to proposed amend-ments, both in committee and onthe Senate floor. The first exam-ple of that will be the Keystonepipeline, and already Democratsare lining up to offer amendments,something they rarely got to dounder their own leader.
Democratic Sen. CharlesSchumer said Democrats will offeramendments to require Ameri-can-made steel for the pipeline,to require that oil transportedthrough the pipeline be used inAmerica, and to add clean energyjobs. Can anyone imagine Reidgiving Republicans comparablefreedom on any bill at all, muchless a controversial measure likeKeystone?
“There are people who have
worked in the Senate for seven oreight years who have never seenthis happen,” said one GOP aide.
But some Republicans see therestoration as even more signifi-cant for the majority party thanfor the minority. “The reason whythat is so important is not becauseof Republican versus Democrat,but because of the tension be-tween rank and file and leader-ship,” said another GOP aide.“Outside the Senate, there mightbe some conservatives who say,‘Why do you want to offer Demo-crats amendments when for yearsDemocrats didn’t offer them toRepublicans?’ But what if there’s abig immigration bill? Do you wantthe Republican rank-and-file notto be able to offer amendments?”
In that sense, by opening up theSenate, McConnell could be buy-ing himself some headaches fromhis own party. Indeed, it could beargued the move will empowersome of the Republican senators– Ted Cruz and Mike Lee cometo mind – who have sometimesantagonized the leadership. Somemight see that as a green light forthem to make trouble.
“Nonsense,” said an aide toLee. “I wouldn’t characterize
a senator exercising his or herinstitutional rights as ‘makingtrouble.’ What it will do is alloweach senator the right to fullyrepresent the interests of theirconstituents.”
That’s all good. And Republi-can leaders hope the change willhave other salutary effects. Com-mittees will become more active,with members taking a greaterpart in shaping legislation. Thework week will lengthen. (UnderReid, senators often came in onTuesday afternoon and left lateThursday; now, they can expectan honest-to-God five-day week.)
With all that, the hope is sen-ators of both parties will actuallywork with each other more. “Ifpeople feel like they have theopportunity to make their points,the place becomes a more collegialbody,” said one of the aides. Thehope is that “we’ll be able to turnthis into a legislating body insteadof a campaign studio, which is theway it has been for eight years.”
Of course, it might not work.But there’s no doubt Senate lead-ers need to institute reforms afterReid’s ugly and divisive tenure.And if things go as planned, McCo-nnell’s restoration could becomea ding-dong-the-witch-is-dead mo-ment that revitalizes the Senate.

12 GIRLS BASKETBALL: MORRIS 54, DeKALB 32
Jurasits joins 1,000-point club as Redskins win
By ROB [email protected]
MORRIS – In the final sec-onds of the Morris girls’ bas-ketball team’s 54-32 win overDeKalb on Friday night, therewas still plenty of excitementin the air even though the out-come of the game was not indoubt.
Morris senior forwardJulie Jurasits had scored 19points and was sitting at 997for her career. The Redskinsgot the ball back with about 18seconds left. Ten seconds later,Jurasits shot a 3-pointer fromjust left of the top of the key.
The ball went through thenet, and Jurasits became theseventh player in MCHS girlsbasketball history to score1,000 points in a career. Shejoins a club consisting of Brit-tanie Crose (1,158), AndreaKeech (1,087), Tracy Kuder(1,086), Layney Miller (1,064),Adrianne Leschewski (1,055)and Ryann Heap (1,028).
“I had no idea how manyI still needed,” Jurasits saidabout the last trip down thecourt. “Then I saw my friend,Jade Fischer, in the standsyelling that I needed three.My teammates got me the ballfor a 3-pointer. When I shotit, I didn’t think it was goingin, but when it did, it felt awe-some.”
The Redskins were on pointon Friday night was their per-formance in the fourth quar-ter. With 6:20 remaining in thegame, DeKalb’s Ashlei Lopezhit a 3-pointer that tied thescore at 32. Morris went on toscore the final 22 points of thegame.
“A lot of things came to-gether in the fourth quarter,”said Morris assistant coachRochelle Claire, who was tak-ing care of head coaching du-ties as Kate Carey attendedto family matters. “We knewJulie was close to 1,000 points,
so we worked as a team to tryto get her there. Mya Shannondid a great job of spreading theball around and getting a lot ofassists and, when DeKalb triedto press us, it actually workedin our favor because we wereable to break it and get someeasy baskets.
“Our effort on defense wasoutstanding. We didn’t letthem go where they wantedto go, and we rebounded verywell when they missed shots.”
The first three quarterswere tight, as were the firsttwo minutes of the fourth. Af-ter Lopez’s 3-pointer, however,the Redskins took off.
Jurasits started thingswith a conventional three-point play, then Shannon (10points) hit a 3-pointer. LeonaBurton followed with a pair offree throws before Emily Bur-ling (9 points) hit a 3-pointerto make it, 43-32. Burton then
took a rebound the length of
the floor and scored before
Jurasits scored on a putback.
Jessica Ponce (7 points) made
a free throw, as did Jurasits, to
make it, 49-32. Jurasits scored
from the lane before draining
a 3-pointer for the last points
of the game and 1,000th of her
career.
“We kept our composure
well in the second half, and
ran our plays,” Claire said.
“We got some energy and
spark from Emily Burling and
Leona Burton. All the girls are
making better decisions on the
floor. We used to look over to
the bench on every possession.
Now, they are becoming more
aware on the floor and taking
charge of things. That’s nice
to see.”
The Redskins return to ac-
tion today at Rochelle before
hosting Ottawa on Monday.

CROSSWORD SUDOKU BRIDGE by Phillip Alder
CELEBRITY CIPHER
PUZZLES
Scott Adams, who is best knownas the creator of the Dilbert cartoon,said, “The amount of energy spentlaughing at a joke should be directlyproportional to the hierarchicalstatus of the joke teller.”
That seems debatable to me,but the amount of energy spent ona bridge deal should be directly pro-portional to its complexity, regard-less of the skill of the other players.Well, all right, if you are opposed bynear-beginners, you will often getaway with second-best play.
Also, most partnerships spendfar more time discussing biddingthan defense, which is not good.You should spend proportionatelymore time on leading and signalingagreements.
In this deal, for example, howshould the defenders card to defeatfour spades after West leads the clubace?
In the auction, note South’sjump to two spades. By an unpassedhand, this shows four or five spadesand some 9-11 points. (A simpleone-spade advance would indicate0-8 points; and with 12-plus points,South would cue-bid two clubs. IfSouth were a passed hand, theseranges would drop by two points.)
Under West’s club ace, East mustplay his queen. This shows either asingleton (which is nigh impossiblehere) or the queen and the jack.That should point West in the rightdirection. At trick two, he shifts tohis singleton heart. Then he grabsthe first (or second) round of trumpsand underleads his club king to putEast on play. East will return a heart,which West will ruff for the settingtrick. Cool!
It is time for
the defenders

DEAR ABBYDear Abby: I’m a happily mar-
ried man with a great familythat’s mostly grown.
In high school I was infatu-ated with a girl, “Stacy,” whowas the center of attention,especially from the guys. Asseniors we were close, but wenever dated. When I left forcollege, we lost track.
In college I became involvedwith the woman who wouldbecome my wife. Before ourwedding, I was at a friend’swedding, and Stacy and Idanced several dances. Ourchemistry was electric. I nearlybroke up with my fiancee tosee if Stacy and I could gettogether, but common senseprevailed.
At our 25th reunion, I sawStacy again. She looked as good
as ever. She is also happilymarried with a family. Shegave me a hug that lasted alittle too long, but was every bitas electric as our dance backthen. Now I’m wondering whatI have missed. Was the hug asignal or just the affectionateembrace of a good friend?
I’m afraid to contact herbecause I don’t want to ruin myreputation or hers. We live indifferent states. Even if thereis a spark there, I’m not surewe could sustain a relation-ship. But how do I get her offmy mind? I’m tortured by the
memories of the dance and thehug. – Romantic Texan
Dear Romantic: Let com-mon sense prevail again andquit playing with fire beforesomeone gets burned. Thenext letter may offer you someinsight:
Dear Abby: My ex-wife ofmore than 30 years reconnect-ed with an old love from collegethrough a social website. I wasOK with it until I noticed shewas getting obsessed with hischats. She kept saying theywere just old friends and Ishould trust her.
It went on for months, untilone day she forgot to close herchat session. It was obviousshe regretted not marryinghim and was reliving her past.We discussed it and I kept
hearing, “Trust me, we’re onlyfantasizing.” It went downhillfrom there. We went throughmarriage counseling, but noth-ing changed.
What I learned throughcounseling is that an emotionalaffair may do more damagethan an in-person one. While Ithought I had a great marriage,she was thinking about whatmight have been with her firstlove. She wouldn’t end therelationship and finally wedivorced.
That was three years ago.He separated from his wife,and they lived together untilshe found out he wasn’t thesame person in real life that hewas online or how she thoughtshe remembered him fromtheir youth. It didn’t last, and
he went back to his wife. My exwas sorry for what happenedand wanted a second chancewith me, but it was too late.
I’m now married to a won-derful woman I trust complete-ly. My ex lost all she had excepther memories of the 30 happyyears we had together.
People need to understandhow dangerous an emotionalaffair can be. The grass isn’talways greener on the otherside of the fence. Old flameschange from who they were intheir youth, and an online flingcan be disastrous. – R.B. inMassachusetts
