DeKalb weighs adding tax districts Leaders from local taxing bodies say economic help needed for S. Fourth St. area By DAVID THOMAS dthomas@shawmedia.com DeKALB – One thing became clear Thursday morning as the representatives of DeKalb’s eight local taxing bodies discussed creating new tax increment financing districts. South Fourth Street is going to need a lot of help, and TIF might not fix all of the problems there. But there might not be other options available. “If you don’t create the TIF, then it will just continue to be the way it is, because there is no funding source to incentivize development,” interim City Manager Rudy Espiritu said.
DeKalb already has two established TIF districts, which are a special mechanism local governments can use to spur development in blighted areas. As development occurs, taxes associated with the higher property values increase. A portion of those taxes, however, are diverted into a speRudy Espiritu cial fund that helps pay for development in the area for 23 years. The established districts are in downtown DeKalb and along Sycamore Road, adjacent to a proposed district.

Inside Columnist Jason Akst writes that TIF districts are a complex tool, and DeKalb should be cautious about adding more. PAGE A2 On Thursday, Espiritu and Jennifer Diedrich, the city’s economic development coordinator, met with
Joint Review Board members to discuss creating TIF districts along South Fourth Street. They also discussed creating a small district with two parcels: the former Nelson Veterinarian property, 2131 Sycamore Road, and the Northern Illinois University Art Annex, 2211 Sycamore Road. The members of the joint review board represent different taxing bodies in the city – DeKalb School District 428, the DeKalb Park District,

the DeKalb Public Library, DeKalb Township, the DeKalb Sanitary District, Kishwaukee College, DeKalb County and the city itself. A member of the public sits on the board as well. The board is required by law to issue a report of its recommendations about the two proposed districts within 30 days of its first meeting, or by July 26. The board is scheduled to meet and issue recommendations July 24. The DeKalb City Council is scheduled to host a public hearing Aug. 12 on the potential TIF districts.

YCAMORE – For the first time in her life, Kayla Craig is learning to cook. In the past, the Genoa-Kingston High School senior had her food prepared for her by a chef. The closest she came to cooking was warming up meals in a microwave. But with the help of a cooking workshop for the visually impaired at Sycamore High School, she’s learning to make pasta and salads on her own. “I like it so far,” Craig said. “And it’s teaching me for when I’m on my own, because eventually I’ll need to get my own apartment and learn how to cook.” The workshop, which began Monday and ends today, is meant to do more than help students with visual impairments learn how to shop for food and cook, said Diane Tyrrell, coordinator of the workshop and a Sycamore School District 427 board member.

SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois Supreme Court ended a lengthy and emotionally charged legal appeal over an abortion notification law Thursday, clearing the way for the state to begin enforcing a 1995 measure that requires doctors to notify a girl’s parents 48 hours before the procedure. The court ruled unanimously to uphold a circuit court’s earlier dismissal of a challenge to the law that was filed by a Granite City women’s health clinic and a doctor at the University of Illinois at Chicago. After court battles that lasted nearly two decades, Illinois now joins 38 other states in requiring some level of parental notification. The law goes into effect in 35 days unless it’s appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, which has found such laws to be constitutional elsewhere. Opponents of the notification law had argued that it violated privacy and gender equality rights because young women should be able to make their own decisions about their bodies and pregnancies. Supporters of the law, which was defended by the Illinois Attorney General’s office, argued that parents would be deprived of basic rights if they were not notified of a daughter’s decision to have an abortion. Anti-abortion activists have long said Illinois was a haven for teens from states with stricter laws on the books seeking abortions. “If you look at the map, from Canada to Mexico, we were the only state [in the Midwest] that did not have parental notification,” said Peter Breen, a lawyer for the Thomas More Society, which defended the law in court. In its opinion, the state’s high court found that the law did not violate principles of due process or equal protection and noted how the U.S. Supreme Court has upheld such laws. “We find that, while a minor clearly has an expectation of privacy in her medical information, which includes the fact of her pregnancy, the intrusion on the minor’s privacy occasioned by the Act is not unreasonable,” wrote Justice Anne Burke. “The state has an interest in ensuring that a minor is sufficiently mature and well-informed to make the difficult decision whether to have an abortion.”

TIFs: A complex financial instrument Tax increment finance districts are important financial tools communities use. Their use has grown steadily, but they are complex and, as a recent study points out, municipalities put themselves at risk if they create and manage them haphazardly. Neighborhoods, roads, water treatment, power lines, police stations – infrastructure – is expensive to build and maintain. Sometimes communities can bump sales or property taxes to pay for improvements, but as state budgets worsen and taxpayers become more reluctant, new ways to pay for infrastructure improvements are needed. In the 1950s, cities began using a financial instrument to sell bonds based on anticipated tax revenues that infrastructure improvements would generate. This was tax increment financing. The trend began very slowly, notes Josh Pacewicz, a Brown University researcher who wrote “Tax Increment Financing, Economic Development Professionals and the Financialization of Urban Politics.” Originally, tax increment financing was a funding mechanism of “last resort” for “blighted” communities. In 1952, only a few states allowed tax increment financing, but by 2007, 49 out of 50 states used them. Concurrently, municipalities and private entities began working together to build infrastructure projects. While cities once commonly built hospitals, housing or roads by themselves, the study noted, “now public-private partnerships are often formed, with risk and reward being
THE FINE LINE Jason Akst spread between the municipal and private parties.” DeKalb has two tax increment financing districts and is considering two more, one along South Fourth Street and another on a small part of Sycamore Road. The DeKalb City Council will have a public hearing on establishing those TIF districts on Aug. 12. Why tax increment financing seems to work is part of its complexity. As Pacewicz notes, cities issue two types of bonds: general obligation and revenue bonds. “General obligation bonds are backed by a city’s property tax base and because a city is legally obliged to repay them, are counted by rating agencies as debt. In contrast, revenue bonds are not backed by a city’s property tax base and therefore do not impact a city’s credit rating.” TIF-backed securities are based on future revenue, and they receive more favorable ratings from credit agencies, Pacewicz said, but the really interesting part of his study is that the research is based on two Iowa cities. The cities were referred to as “River City” and “Prairieville” (keeping the actual names of places and people anonymous is common in academic research). TIFs caused trouble in River City, so as Barb City considers establishing more TIFs, here are some cautionary
findings from Pacewicz’s study: Overenthusiastic projections on future tax receipts are routine, and tax increment financing use is typically accompanied by large and mounting debts. TIFs create “a structural opening for a new kind of urban actor who is capable of acting simultaneously as an insider and an outsider: A city representative not formally tied to the city.” Such development professionals play “dual roles of stewards of municipal finance and central leaders within development initiatives.” Because developers’ reputations depend on successful outcomes, “they become invested in these solutions, which are frequently expensive.” Politicians in River City and Prairieville expressed concern that tax increment financing was “corporate welfare,” that it produces unsustainable debt, and that repaying it diverted crucial resources. Frequently, city leaders don’t understand TIF mechanics and can’t accurately gauge the success of development professionals. The desire to find creative solutions also leads development professionals to develop new TIF-like instruments. In many states, for example, cities have begun to securitize projected sales tax receipts and create structured bonds backed by this revenue stream in addition to projected increases in property taxes.

8NATION BRIEF Passengers begged 911 dispatchers for help AP photo
Supporters of ousted Egypt’s President Mohammed Morsi perform an evening prayer known as “Tarawi” on Wednesday during the Islamic month of Ramadan, in Nasr City, Cairo.
At Ramadan meals, Egypt weighs split in society By PAUL SCHEMM and TONY G. GABRIEL The Associated Press CAIRO – As the sun set on the first day of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, families across Cairo gathered for the fast-breaking iftar meal in a country that in the last two weeks has seen protests by millions, a coup against an elected president and the deaths of dozens of people in clashes with the military. Ramadan is traditionally a time of personal reflection and feeling a sense of brotherhood with fellow Muslims, but in the aftermath of the military overthrow of President Mohammed Morsi, the divisions among Egyptians extend even down to this traditional meal. On one side of the city, Tahrir Square
remains the symbolic center of the revolution that overthrew Hosni Mubarak and later opposed Morsi. Across town in an eastern district, Morsi’s supporters have coalesced around a major intersection in front of the mosque of Rabaah al-Adawiya. Breaking their fast outdoors, the people in the two camps expressed bafflement and disdain for the other side. “I don’t know if the people at Rabaah al-Adawiya are out of their minds or if they are brainwashed,” said Shenouda William, a 35-year-old lawyer, who sat with about 100 people in the echoing emptiness of Tahrir Square to break their fast. Others described the Morsi supporters in the Muslim Brotherhood as ignorant peasants or possibly Palestinian
and Syrian refugees looking for food and a place to sleep. A Christian, William chose to join the iftar as a symbol of national unity and described this as “the best Ramadan I’ve ever known because the Brotherhood are not here – they succeeded in dividing the people, and this will never happen again.” Egyptians remain divided, however, and while the Brotherhood alienated much of the country in their year in power, they still have supporters who came by the tens of thousands to break their fast Wednesday night in a clear show of strength. Families thronged into the boulevards near the Rabaah al-Adawiya Mosque and sat under tents or on long sheets of blue tarpaulins to first pray and then eat after the sun set.
SAN FRANCISCO – Stunned and bleeding after a Boeing 777 crash-landed at the San Francisco airport, hundreds of passengers staggered across the debris-strewn tarmac, some trying to help the critically injured, others desperately calling 911 and begging for more ambulances as dire minutes ticked away. “There’s not enough medics out here,” a caller told a dispatcher in a 911 call released by the California Highway Patrol. “There is a woman out here on the street, on the runway, who is pretty much burned very severely on the head and we don’t know what to do.” Two people died and 180 of the 307 passengers were hurt Saturday when Asiana Airlines Flight 214 slammed into a seawall at the end of the runway. Authorities said Thursday that the landing gear hit first, followed by the tail.

Titanic survivor’s tale comes alive in Genoa gram. “It seemed like an appropriate program,” said Craig Pierce, the library’s outreach director, adding that a lot of kids research the Titanic. Probably the most famous shipwreck in history, the RMS Titanic was on its maiden voyage when it hit an iceberg in the North Atlantic Ocean and sank on April 15, 1912. Of 2,224 passengers and crew, 1,502 were killed. Jessop managed to survive, Goddard said, because she “happened to be standing by a lifeboat” and was told to get in to see if it was safe for the rich passengers she was serving.

For 45 minutes, Goddard – a re-enactor from Darien – mesmerized the standing-room-only crowd in the Community Center at the Resource Bank in Genoa with firsthand accounts of both events, which were taken from Jessop’s 1998 memoirs.

SYCAMORE – ComEd is seeking public input for its plans to construct an electric transmission line across several counties to improve the flow of electricity. The electric utility company, which serves 70 percent of the state’s population, has hosted a series of public meetings on their latest endeavor, the Grand Prairie Gateway Project, including an open house Thursday at the Sycamore Veterans Association in Sycamore. The Grand Prairie Gateway Project involves the planned construction of an electric transmission line between Ogle, DeKalb, Kane and DuPage counties. ComEd wanted to gather public input for the project before pursuing it, said ComEd spokeswoman Noelle Gaffney. The company also is gathering input from government officials and environmental groups. “We’re explaining what the project is,” Gaffney said. “What it needs, what the benefits are and what it entails.” The transmission line will carry about 345,000 volts of electricity between substations in Byron and Wayne. The typical household can carry 120 volts, Gaffney said. About 400 single-pole steel structures are planned for the transmission line, she said. The line’s route will not be determined until ComEd has completed gathering public input, she said. The project will need to follow regulations from PJM Interconnection, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the Illinois Commerce Commission. The company hopes to complete the project by June 2017. The line between Byron
and Wayne should alleviate the burden of other transmission lines active in the counties, said Richard Mathias, senior consultant for PJM Interconnection. The government-regulated organization saw the need for the new transmission line for the counties. “This is an effort to ease congestion and have all the power flow on a more economical basis,” Mathias said. More than 100 people have visited the open house meetings hosted in Kings, South Elgin and Sycamore this week, Gaffney said. ComEd is still analyzing the feedback from past meetings, she said. Visitors who attend can fill out surveys and help ComEd with data collection. Kirkland resident John Myers said he felt the open house told him everything he needed to know about the project. He said the project must be necessary, otherwise ComEd wouldn’t be spending so much money on it. “I would like to think it’s a new way of rural electrification,” Myers said. Sycamore resident Jim Kolar said the plan for the proposed route seemed amorphous. Because a route for the transmission line isn’t planned, there is nothing that can be voted on or protested, he said. “We know when it’s going to come,” Kolar said. “We don’t know where.” Another round of community meetings on the project is planned for August, Gaffney said.

years later. Converted into a hospital ship during World War I, it was on a mission to transport wounded soldiers when it hit an underwater mine outside of Greece and sank in the Aegean Sea on Nov. 21, 1916. Thirty of the 1,100 on board drowned. “It was a sheer fluke [that Jessop was on the ship],” Goddard said. “She had joined the British Red Cross and happened to be assigned to this ship. People ask all the time why she went back [to ships], but she had little education. ‘I don’t really have any training for anything else,’ she wrote in her memoirs.” Although the memoirs were written in the 1930s, Goddard said they weren’t
published until Jessop’s nieces discovered them after her death in 1970, at age 84. They were published around the same time James Cameron’s popular movie version of the Titanic’s sinking was released. That also was the first time Goddard – who has master’s degrees in history and theater – learned about Jessop, one of 10 famous women she has been portraying for the last decade. The next program of the Genoa Library’s summer reading program will be a presentation by historian David Clark, “Route 66 on One Tank of Gas” at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, also at the Resource Bank in Genoa. The show is for ages 8 and older.

Stocks surge after Bernanke allays fears By STEVE ROTHWELL The Associated Press NEW YORK – Call it the Bernanke Boost. The stock market, which has been marching higher for a week, got extra fuel Thursday after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said the central bank will keep supporting the economy. The Dow Jones industrial average and Standard & Poor’s 500 surged to all-time highs. And the yield on the 10year Treasury note continued
to decline as investors bought bonds. Stocks that benefit most from a continuation of low interest rates, such as homebuilders, notched some of the biggest gains. The chairman made the comments in a speech late Wednesday after U.S. markets had closed, saying the economy needs the Fed’s easy-money policy “for the foreseeable future.” The U.S. economy needs help because unemployment is high, Bernanke said. His remarks seemed to ease in-
vestors’ fears that the central bank will pull back on its economic stimulus too quickly. The Fed is currently buying $85 billion a month in bonds to keep interest rates low and to encourage spending and hiring. Stock index futures rose overnight. Stocks surged when the market opened Thursday and stayed high for the rest of the day. “The Fed has made it unequivocally clear that they are not in any hurry to do anything,” said Alec Young, Glob-
al Equity Strategist at S&P Capital IQ. “It’s very bullish for stocks.” The S&P 500 index jumped 22.40 points, or, 1.4 percent, to 1,675.02, surpassing its previous record close of 1,669 from May 21. The index rose for a sixth straight day, its longest streak in four months. The Dow rose 169.26 points, or 1.1 percent, to 15,460.92, above its own all-time closing high of 15,409 set May 28. The Nasdaq composite rose 57.55 points, or 1.4 percent, to 3,578.30, its highest level in
nearly 13 years. In government bond trading, the yield on the 10-year note fell to 2.57 percent from 2.63 percent Wednesday. The yield was as high as 2.74 percent Friday after the government reported strong hiring in June. Many traders took that report as a signal that the Fed would be more likely to slow its bond purchases sooner rather than later. The Fed has also said it plans to keep short-term rates at record lows, at least until
Jury in Zimmerman trial may consider lesser charge The ASSOCIATED PRESS SANFORD, Fla. – In an unmistakable setback for George Zimmerman, the jury at the neighborhood watch captain’s second-degree murder trial was given the option Thursday of convicting him on the lesser charge of manslaughter in the shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. Judge Debra Nelson issued her ruling over the objections of Zimmerman’s lawyers shortly before a prosecutor delivered a closing argument in which he portrayed the defendant as an aspiring police officer who assumed Martin was up to no good and took the law into his own hands. “A teenager is dead. He is dead through no fault of his own,” prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda told the jurors. “He is dead because a man made assumptions. ... Unfortunately because his assumptions were wrong, Trayvon Benjamin Martin no longer walks this Earth.” Because of the judge’s ruling, the six jurors will have three options when they start deliberations as early as Friday: guilty of second-degree murder, guilty of manslaughter and not guilty.

Assistant State’s Attorney Bernie de la Rionda presents the state’s closing arguments in George Zimmerman’s trial Thursday in Seminole Circuit Court in Sanford, Fla. Zimmerman has been charged with second-degree murder for the 2012 shooting death of Trayvon Martin. Zimmerman attorney Don West had argued an all-ornothing strategy, saying the only charge that should be put before the jury is second-degree murder. “The state has charged him with second-degree murder. They should be required to prove it,” West said. “If they had wanted to charge him
with manslaughter ... they could do that.” To win a second-degree murder conviction, prosecutors must prove Zimmerman showed ill will, hatred or spite – a burden the defense has argued the state failed to meet. To get a manslaughter conviction, prosecutors must show only that Zimmerman killed

Fifteen students, volunteers enrolled • COOKING Continued from page A1 “It’s more about making the adaptation for individual needs so they can be on a level playing field with others,” Tyrrell said. Tyrrell is a teacher for the Northwestern Illinois Association, a special education co-op that serves more than 70 school districts. She works with children with vision problems and wanted to create a workshop that would help them learn life skills outside the classroom. “If you have low vision or difficulty reading, it’s going to take more time to process and learn those skills,” Tyrrell said. With the help of District 427 Superintendent Kathy Countryman, Tyrrell pursued and received a grant
from 3M, a manufacturing company. Fifteen area high school students and student volunteers enrolled in the workshop. On Monday, they all headed to Hy-Vee in Sycamore to go grocery shopping. Hy-Vee’s nutritionist Lisa Brandt also taught the students about healthy food choices. Students were given iPod Touches programmed with applications to help them identify the cost of food items and instruct them on cooking. They were able to keep the devices. “The devices they got in the workshop will help them be all the more independent and really fluent,” Tyrrell said. Sydney Milner, a Sycamore High School senior, said she liked shopping for food through the workshop.
without lawful justification. Allowing the jurors to consider manslaughter could give those who aren’t convinced the shooting amounted to murder a way to hold Zimmerman responsible for the death of the unarmed teen, said David Hill, an Orlando defense attorney with no connection to the case.
“From the jury’s point of view, if they don’t like the second-degree murder – and I can see why they don’t like it – he doesn’t want to give them any options to convict on lesser charges,” Hill said of the defense attorney. Because of the way Florida law imposes longer sentences for crimes committed with a gun, manslaughter could end up carrying a penalty as heavy as the one for second-degree murder: life in prison. It is standard for prosecutors in Florida murder cases to ask that the jury be allowed to consider lesser charges that were not actually brought against the defendant. And it is not unusual for judges to grant such requests. Prosecutor Richard Mantei also asked that the jury be allowed to consider third-degree murder, on the premise that Zimmerman committed child abuse when he shot the underage Martin. Zimmerman’s lawyer called that “bizarre” and “outrageous,” and the judge sided with the defense. Zimmerman, 29, got into a scuffle with Martin after spotting the teen while driving through his gated townhouse complex on a rainy night in February 2012.
unemployment falls to 6.5 percent. Bernanke emphasized Wednesday that the level of unemployment is a threshold, not a trigger. The central bank might decide to keep its benchmark short-term rate near zero even after unemployment falls that low. “It’s back to the old accommodative Fed, so the markets are happy again,” said Randy Frederick, Managing Director of Active Trading and Derivatives at the Schwab Center for Financial Research.

Milner, who has low vision and is hard of hearing, attended with her interpreter Jan Loomer from the Northwestern Illinois Association. “I learned how to cut with a knife and how to keep our kitchen clean,” Milner said. Helping the students learn how to cook was Goldie Shaw of Low Vision Chef, a company she created with her husband. Shaw has vision problems but did not let that stop her from pursuing a career as a chef, Tyrrell said. As her first cooking workshop wraps up, Tyrrell is considering future workshops for students with other disabilities. “Goldie called me last night and said ‘I don’t want these guys to lose their skills,’ ” Tyrrell said Thursday. “ ‘I want them to keep being independent and live on their own.’ ”
TIF would have 23-year life span • TIF Continued from page A1 Because of the effect a TIF district has on other bodies, the city has set up a sharing program when it reaches a surplus. In the proposed district along Sycamore Road, the city is planning to share 15 percent of the increment surplus with the other taxing bodies. After 23 years, the other districts would receive a total of $792,136. View a complete list of Daily Chronicle obituaries by clicking on the calendar dates
As a result of the sharing, the city is anticipating breaking even there. With the 15 percent share in place, the city would collect $4.48 million in increment revenues over the 23-year life span of the TIF, while paying out for $4.47 million in proposed projects there. But Espiritu said he doesn’t think a sharing program will be possible for South Fourth Street. The city is estimating it will collect $3.6 million in increment revenues, but that
would pay for only less than a fourth of the $14 million in proposed projects there. Under the proposal, about $5.5 million would go to building rehabilitation. PGAV Planners, the urban planning firm the city hired to conduct the TIF study, found that 77 percent of the buildings in the proposed district were more than 35 years old. In addition, 66 percent of the buildings in the proposed district had signs of deterioration.

Enthusiasm should be local selling point
Still remembering James Gandolfini In the endless cycling that has all but overtaken my profession, if you had anything to say about actor James Gandolfini’s death, you were supposed to write it, post it and move on within 24 hours of his passing on June 19. As we all learn sooner or later, grief doesn’t work that way – especially when the death is sudden. One minute, you think everything’s normal; the next, you’re making arrangements and standing at the wake, kneading the skin of your clavicle as you whisper over and over, “I had no idea.” In a moment of dark timing, I had just finished re-watching all six seasons of “The Sopranos” the night before my daughter called from Rhode Island to tell me that Gandolfini was gone. “Mom,” she said. “I knew you’d want to know.” She was a teenager when the HBO series debuted in 1999. At the time, I had no interest in a violent show about mobsters. Then I found out her father was letting her watch the show whenever she stayed at his house. Her first mention of the Bada Bing! strip club triggered in me what she calls “Overdrive Connie.” If my 12-year-old daughter was watching a show about murder and strippers, then I was going to be able to quote it for discussion, scene by scene. I was all in by the third episode. The teenage daughter of Gandolfini’s character, Tony Soprano, pushes and pulls until he finally admits in the car that, yes, some of his money has nothing to do with waste management. She flashes her I-knew-it smile, and he is every parent whose love for a child is his undoing. I didn’t know Gandolfini, but like millions of fans, I knew him. I’m not Italian, and I never have lived in New Jersey, but I grew up in a working-class family with a father who never stopped resisting the changes he could not
VIEWS Connie Schultz control in a world he once believed he could own. An early scene, again between Tony and his daughter: Tony: “You know, honey, that’s where I agree with you. I don’t think sex should be a punishable offense, either. But I do think talking about sex at the breakfast table is a punishable offense. So no more sex talk. OK?” Meadow: “It’s the ’90s. Parents are supposed to discuss sex with their children.” Tony: “Yeah, but that’s where you’re wrong. You see, out there it’s the 1990s, but in this house, it’s 1954.” He points out the kitchen window: “1990s.” He points to the floor: “1954. So now and forever, I don’t want to hear any more sex talk. OK?” The only thing my dad would have changed was his favorite year, 1955, when he was the top high-school basketball scorer in the county. Bruce Springsteen, another Jersey guy, has written hundreds of songs about those cocky boys whose dreams unravel until life spits them out beaten men. For all his toughness, all his heart-stopping cruelty, that was writer David Chase’s Tony, brought to life by Gandolfini. Tony’s wife wanted a job; his kids refused to cower in the shadow of his rage; and his other “family” betrayed him, one made man at a time. Depression clawed at him, grabbing a piece of him here, mauling another piece there, relentlessly parsing him into smaller parts of himself. He was
barrel-chested and doughy, full of himself and invisible outside of his tight circle of family and friends. By the end of the first season, Tony looked and sounded like every working stiff who drank too much with my dad at the Spot Cafe. Gandolfini is widely quoted as saying he was surprised when he was chosen to play Tony. “I thought they’d pick a suave, good-looking Mafioso guy,” he said, “somebody a little more leading man type, basically.” “The Sopranos” never would have worked if it had been hinged to that kind of guy. Some stories can be told only by people who look as though they’ve lived them. Week after week, Gandolfini played out our own biggest fear: that our best days are behind us. “It’s good to be in something from the ground floor,” he tells his psychiatrist. “I came too late for that, and I know. But lately, I’m getting the feeling that I came in at the end. The best is over.” There’s a lot of breaking news to write about this week. Egypt. Eliot Spitzer. The whole Texas Legislature. But grief pays no mind to all that. So here I am, still thinking about how James Gandolfini’s acting – how his art – helped us see the poetry in screwed-up lives. I just wanted to take a moment to thank the guy – to let those he left behind know that he still matters to people like me, that he’s still on my mind.

Like German and French banks that bought Greek debt long past the point of reason, Detroit’s financial enablers cheerfully synthesized such securities as $1.43 billion in pension-funding “certificates of participation” – about whose “validity and/or enforceability” the Orr report expresses circumspect but ominous doubts. Spare some blame for Detroit’s log-rolling and – it must be said – mostly Democratic politicians, including spectacularly corrupt former Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, who faces more than 20 years in prison on bribery and extortion charges related to rigging city contracts. Greece’s state-owned money pits include a railroad and ports. The political class in Detroit saw fit to own water works and parking garages. Much as Greece ended up contemplating renting out the Acropolis, cheap, to foreign film crews, Detroit is pondering the sale of masterpieces in its art museum. Obviously, corruption and
interest-group selfishness on a Grecian scale do not explain all of Detroit’s problems. Orr’s report details the city’s chronic job losses, brought on by the long, slow contraction of the auto industry. Orr does not go into Detroit’s devastating history of racism and racial conflict, including horrific riots in 1967, though he could have. All of the above contributed to the depopulation of the city, which went from 1.9 million residents in 1950 to 700,000 now – a minority of whom earn enough to pay taxes. Yet difficult as Detroit’s economic issues were, bad governance made all of them worse. For too long, too many people whose first concern was supposed to be serving citizens concentrated instead on feeding off whatever public resources Detroit had.

There was palpable excitement surrounding this week’s announcement that the Texas Roadhouse steakhouse chain plans to open a new location on DeKalb Avenue in Sycamore. It was pleasing to see another steakhouse planning to fill the void left when the previous tenant, Johnny’s Charhouse, closed in May. It also was good to hear that the deal apparently has been done without the promise of public incentives from the city. They shouldn’t be needed in this situation: The location is highly visible, the space has already housed a restaurant in the past, and the new business is replacing a restaurant that offered similar, generally popular fare. What’s more, Sycamore city officials likely are as eager to see a new business – and the sales tax revenue it will generate – in the space as anyone else. They’ve already shown that they can speed things along, as they did when SK Hand Tool relocated its operation to the city. An efficient and orderly government approval process is an incentive in itself for some businesses. It’s also possible that the way in which this week’s news was received could bolster economic development efforts around the area. The story about Texas Roadhouse on Daily-Chronicle.com was viewed by thousands of local people, who also shared and commented on the story on Facebook, and retweeted about it on Twitter. The commentary was generally enthusiastic and positive, and the restaurant got itself a Texas-sized dose of free publicity in a soon-tobe new market. It’s clear that even though local diners have their
For the record It’s clear that even though local diners have their favorite local restaurants, the market is hardly so saturated that people don’t get excited when someone new comes to town. favorite local restaurants, the market is hardly so saturated that people don’t get excited when someone new comes to town. In fact, there are several locations around DeKalb and Sycamore where new restaurateurs could be potential tenants. Included in the pitch to potential new establishments could be the fact that when someone new is coming to town, people in DeKalb County get excited. They will talk about your business and eagerly await your grand opening. It’s guaranteed a new chain restaurant won’t make that kind of splash in Naperville, or Schaumburg, or other suburban Chicago markets where the market already is saturated with dining options. The enthusiasm isn’t limited only to restaurants, either. We suspect that if a major manufacturing or other employer decided to make use of our area’s fiber optic infrastructure and easy access to the Interstate highway system, there would be considerable excitement and enthusiasm to welcome them, as well. Of course, community enthusiasm is hardly the only consideration when a company decides whether it will open a new location here. But with the economy showing signs of turning around, it’s one more positive that can be used in the quest to attract more businesses to our community.

Downtime a benefit for children, adults A recent report from the Kaiser Family Foundation states that children spend an average of 7½ hours each day staring at a screen, whether it’s a TV, a computer or some other electronic gadget. That’s up 20 percent from five years ago. Meanwhile, over the past decade the number of children diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder has surged more than 50 percent. And in the past six years that rate has jumped about 15 percent, to 6 million children, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Although it’s hard to prove a direct correlation between these two trends, experts say the strong parallels between the upswing in diagnoses and an increase of screen time are hard to ignore. As children play with electronic gadgets, their minds process information differently because their brains are working harder to absorb the barrage of information and sensations. That increased brain activity makes it harder to focus on one task and control impulses – hallmark signs of hyperactivity, according to a recent article from Mobiledia, a website on technology culture and trends. Citing Christopher Lucas, associate professor of child
psychiatry at New York University School of Medicine, Mobiledia notes that kids focus on video games and television in a different way than the attention they’ll use to thrive in school and life. When kids play games and rack up points, move to higher levels and unlock characters and goodies, their brains are rewarded by dopamine, a neurotransmitter that’s released each time they “win.” Furthermore, kids with ADHD are usually ridiculed and ostracized by peers, and that isolation sends them back to those gadgets, since they’re likely the only consistent companion. The result? They often develop an emotional dependency that extends beyond dopamine. Children and young adults who overdo TV and video games are nearly twice as likely to suffer from a variety of attention span disorders, according to a study in the journal Pediatrics cited by Mobiledia. There’s something to be said for leaving the gadgets behind every so often, even if just for a little while, so we can slow down a bit, reconnect with friends and family on a more personal level, and rediscover the wonders of our own brain power. Both kids and adults alike would benefit from that downtime. Brattleboro (Vt.) Reformer

Phegley’s slam leads Sox over Tigers By NOAH TRISTER The Associated Press

Patriots’ CB Dennard accused of DUI FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Patriots cornerback Alfonzo Dennard was arrested and accused of drunken driving Thursday in Nebraska while on probation for assaulting a police officer, the second New England player to get in serious legal trouble this summer. Dennard’s early-morning arrest in Lincoln, Neb., where he was a college star for the Cornhuskers, came 15 days after Aaron Hernandez was charged with murder and three days after Patriots owner Robert Kraft said the club will “be looking at our procedures and auditing how we do things” with regard to character reviews. “The New England Patriots are extremely disappointed to learn of Alfonzo Dennard’s arrest. We take this matter very seriously and are working to get more information on the incident,” the team said in a statement. Dennard’s arrest is his second in 15 months. He hasn’t served a 30-day jail sentence for the assault outside a Lincoln bar on Apr. 21, 2012. That is scheduled to begin next March. He also was sentenced to two years of probation. – Wire report
DETROIT – It was hard to tell who was happier when Joshua Phegley’s sixth-inning grand slam cleared the fence – Phegley himself, or the pitcher who would benefit from those four runs.

Luke Putkonen came on and got one out before throwing a pitch behind Alexei Ramirez, who started toward the mound before being restrained. Benches and bullpens emptied, but the situation didn’t escalate into any sort of fight. Putkonen was ejected, and Detroit manager Jim Leyland argued with umpires at length and was also tossed from the game.

During her year on the Arizona volleyball team, the west coast road trips made Emily Bemis homesick. The former DeKalb standout saw her teammates visit with friends and families when the Wildcats played against their Pac-12 rivals, and she remembered how much she missed the world she left. So this spring, Bemis decided to transfer to Iowa, where she’ll be only a few hours away from DeKalb. “I had a gut feeling I wanted to stay close to home, but somehow out of all that I ended up going to Arizona,” Bemis said. “I was the only girl from the Midwest, so it was just different when we would go play USC or UCLA, all of their families are there. I just wanted to be close to home. It was a good experience, I’m definitely glad I went out there, I just wanted to be closer to home.” Bemis talked to several schools in the Midwest during her standout career at DeKalb, but Iowa wasn’t one of them because the Hawkeyes gave out all of their allowed scholarships early in the recruiting process. She fell in love with the Arizona campus and decided to join coach David Rubio’s team, for which she played 30 sets out of 113 and tallied 16 kills. Despite the small amount of playing time, she learned plenty during her freshman season. Photo courtesy of Arizona athletics

NIU football scheduling in need of a facelift After hearing the rumor, three good sources confirmed it. Then, it’s no longer a rumor. So maybe you, too, have heard the exciting news. Hear me out. It hurts just to type this. But something needs to be said. Under-scheduled? Over-scheduled? Who’s minding the Northern Illinois football scheduling,
VIEWS Mike Korcek recent past or present? Earlier this summer, Idaho begged off the 2014 Huskie home football slate due to its new Sun Belt Conference commitments and moved the game
to 2018. Okay, in this day and age, stuff happens – contracts or no contracts. Replacing the Vandals next fall? Envelope, please (hold the applause): Presbyterian College. I kid you not. Holy non-opposition, Batman. No offense intended to the NCAA FCS-level, Big South Conference Blue
Hose (2-9 record in 2012, by way), but you think TicketMaster or the NIU ticket office can handle the demand for Presbyterian from the general public? Coupled with the unimpressive, five-game Huskie Stadium 2013 schedule, this is more sad news for a program coming off an unprecedented 12-2 Orange Bowl campaign, second
straight Mid-American Conference championship, Top 25, etc. What’s the saying, perception is reality? Wait until ESPN, Sports Illustrated, USA Today all see Presbyterian on the NIU schedule. For the next few paragraphs, hold onto your rotten tomatoes.

NIU volleyball players to compete overseas Northern Illinois sophomore volleyball player Alexis Gonzalez and redshirt freshman Lauren Zielinski are scheduled to compete in the Bring It Promotions’ 2013 European Global Challenge in Pula, Croatia July 15 to 18. The tourney will feature teams from the U.S., Italy, Croatia, Hungary, Slovenia and the Czech Republic. Gonzalez and Zielinski are the eighth and ninth Huskies to compete overseas since 2005.
Jeter returns, but leaves early with tight quad NEW YORK – Derek Jeter returned to the New York Yankees for the first time this season, then left early Thursday because of a tight right quadriceps. Yankees manager Joe Girardi said Jeter will be sent for a test. Girardi said Jeter thinks he’ll be ready to play Friday night. Jeter said he doesn’t think the injury came from pushing too hard in his season debut. Jeter went 1 for 4, scoring a run and driving one in during Thursday’s 8-4 win over Kansas City. He left for a pinch-hitter in the eighth inning. The 39-year-old team captain had not played in the majors this season since breaking his left ankle in the playoffs last October.
Baseball union head assails leaks on drugs NEW YORK – The head of the players’ union said Thursday baseball’s drug agreement could be undermined by leaks to the media about whether players are cooperating with an investigation by the commissioner. Alex Rodriguez and Ryan Braun are among the players being interviewed as part of Major League Baseball’s inquiry into Biogenesis, a closed Florida anti-aging clinic accused of distributing banned performance-enhancing drugs. Braun is among several players who refused to answer questions about their dealings with Biogenesis, which was first reported Wednesday by ESPN and the Daily News of New York. Braun was interviewed last month and Rodriguez is scheduled to be interviewed Friday.
Perry tied for lead at U.S. Senior Open OMAHA, Neb. – Kenny Perry shot a 3-under 67 on Thursday and is tied for the lead at the U.S. Senior Open, putting together a solid start in his bid for a second straight win in a senior major. Perry, who won the Senior Players Championship two weeks ago at Fox Chapel, Pa., made five birdies against two bogeys at Omaha Country Club. He has plenty of company atop a crowded leaderboard. Michael Allen and Jay Don Blake also shot a 67 in the morning, and Gary Hallberg, Mark O’Meara, Tom Lehman and Fred Funk posted the same score in the afternoon.
Stanford, Matthew lead Park by 2 at LPGA WATERLOO, Ontario – Angela Stanford and Catriona Matthew shot eight-under 63s to share the first-round lead at the Manulife Financial LPGA Classic on Thursday, two strokes ahead of top-ranked Inbee Park.

Park was joined by American Irene Cho, Spain’s Belen Mozo and South Korea’s Hee Young Park and Meena Lee at 65. American Ryann O’Toole and South Koreans Jenny Shin, Amy Yang and Ji Young Oh were three shots off the lead at 66. – Staff, wire reports

Members of the Commission on Chicago Landmarks listen to representatives of the Cubs, during a discussion about allowing the baseball team to build a left-field Jumbotron at Wrigley Field while adding another sign in right field, during a meeting Thursday in Chicago. The Cubs say they have reached an agreement with the city that would allow the team to build the screen and add the sign, but the city’s landmarks commission must sign off on any changes to historic structures.
CUBS
Cubs, city agree on Jumbotron By DON BABWIN The Associated Press CHICAGO – The Cubs, which waited decades to install lights at Wrigley Field and has waited more than a century to win a World Series, took a giant step toward ending the wait for something every other team in the majors already has: a Jumbotron. The city’s landmarks commission, which must sign off on such plans because Wrigley is a city landmark, approved a plan Thursday to allow the team to build a first-ever electronic Jumbotron and other sign above the ivy-covered outfield walls. It did so despite objections from the local alderman, who said the signs would harm the quality of life
in the neighborhood, and rooftop owners, who complained the signs will cut into their views and devastate their businesses. The full City Council still must give its approval. Traditionally in such zoning and development issues, the other aldermen vote the way the local alderman wants. But the tradition of doing what the mayor wants is even stronger, and Mayor Rahm Emanuel clearly wants this deal to go through. In addition, the decision might have moved the Cubs and the city a step closer to a courtroom. The rooftop owners stopped short of threatening a lawsuit, as they have done in the past, but during the hearing they talked about
the tens of millions of dollars they invested in their businesses after signing their own revenue-sharing deal with the Cubs. “They call it a see-through sign,” rooftop owner Mark Schlenker said of the planned sign in right field. “I call it bankruptcy.” For his part, Ald. Tom Tunney focused on what the Jumbotron in left field would do to the neighborhood and asked the commission to imagine what a Jumbotron that is far bigger than the iconic scoreboard in center field would mean to residents right across the street. The deal would allow the Cubs to erect a 5,700-squarefoot Jumbotron in left field of the 99-year-old ball park and
a 650-square-foot sign in right field. “The Cubs often point to large signs at Fenway and U.S. Cellular. Those signs back up to expressways, not people’s homes,” he said. And he said the effects of the signs would be felt farther away. “From blocks and blocks away, the light from the proposed ... Jumbotron will flicker in living rooms and bedrooms throughout the ward,” he said. He asked that the size of the Jumbotron be reduced. The signs long have been the most contentious piece of a $500 million renovation puzzle the Cubs have been trying to put together since the Ricketts family bought the team in 2009.
Jackson, Rizzo lead Cubs over Cardinals By ANDREW SELIGMAN The Associated Press CHICAGO – Edwin Jackson earned his third straight win, combining with four relievers on a four-hitter, and Anthony Rizzo drove in all the runs to lead the Chicago Cubs to a 3-0 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday night. St. Louis had the tying run at the plate in the ninth inning after Kevin Gregg dropped a throw covering first on Allen Craig’s grounder, and David Freese walked. Alfonso Soriano made a shoestring catch on Jon Jay’s liner to end the game. Cardinals manager Mike Matheny was then seen arguing vehemently with plate umpire Dan Bellino and appeared to make contact with him. The Cubs escaped with the win, and Gregg got his 16th save in 18 chances. Jackson (6-10) struck out five without a walk in seven innings.

Benches and bullpens clear after Putkonen’s pitch • SOX Continued from page B1 “I wasn’t trying to hit anybody,” Putkonen said. “Just threw a fastball inside, and it got away from me.” Ramirez felt otherwise. “Obviously, that wasn’t a pitch that was intended to go in the zone,” he said through a translator. Sale (6-8) allowed three runs in 62/3 innings. Addison Reed pitched the ninth for his 23rd save in 27 chances. Detroit’s Miguel Cabrera hit his 30th homer of the year, a solo shot in the fifth that gave the Tigers a 3-1 lead. Prince Fielder was up next, and Sale threw a pitch high and inside to the Detroit slugger. Sale said he didn’t mean to come close to hitting Fielder. “Just trying to rare back and throw it as hard as I can. I’ve said it before – there’s a time and a place for that, and that wasn’t the time or the place,” Sale said. “I’m not even trying to send a message. I wasn’t even trying to back him off the plate, honestly. I’ve got a lot of respect for Prince, the Detroit Tigers and the game of baseball.” The Sox rallied off Sanchez to take the lead, and then Putkonen’s pitch nearly hit Ramirez. Leyland looked fired up during the brouhaha that followed, and he twice came back out to argue with um-

Leyland did not speak to reporters after the game. Plate umpire Chad Fairchild explained the decision to eject Putkonen. “He threw behind him and I deemed it intentional,” Fairchild said. Fairchild did not view Sale’s pitch to Fielder the same way. “There was no reaction from Fielder. He said nothing. There was no reaction from anyone else,” Fairchild said. “The only reaction I saw was from Sale, who made a motion like, ‘Damn, it got away.’ ” Sale sounded upset with himself afterward.
“Even when I threw it on the mound, I was kind of like, ‘Ohhhhh, that’s not good.’ So from the outside looking in, it doesn’t look good at all. Like I said, I swear on everything I love, it was unintentional,” he said. “Any time your teammates have something like that happen because of something you did, that’s not fun. “Obviously, I won’t sit here and say [Putkonen’s pitch] was intentional – maybe it got away from him as well – but you see something like that, and you kind of feel like an even bigger idiot, knowing that could have hurt him and done whatever, and that was because of me.”
With the crowd booing, Ramirez hit a single to right field and then left the game himself because of cramping in his right leg. Detroit center fielder Austin Jackson couldn’t come up with Jeff Keppinger’s sinking liner to start the sixth and was charged with an error. After a walk and a strikeout, Gordon Beckham singled and the 25-year-old Phegley followed with a grand slam in his 18th major league at-bat. “Especially for Sale, we needed to get him a win,” Phegley said. “He threw well and he deserved it.” Phegley is 4 for 20 now – with three homers. Sale allowed 10 hits, walked two and struck out eight. He left in the seventh after allowing a double by Torii Hunter, and Matt Lindstrom came on and got Cabrera on a flyout. Alejandro De Aza made it 6-3 with a homer in the eighth off Phil Coke. De Aza also hit a single and a double. Ramirez opened the scoring in the first with an RBI double, but Matt Tuiasosopo put the Tigers ahead with a two-run homer in the second. Cabrera’s solo shot increased his RBI total to 94. He’s the first player to reach 30 homers and 90 RBIs before the All-Star break, according to STATS. A pair of Cincinnati Reds – Tony Perez in 1970 and George Foster in 1977 – made it to 29 and 90.

Freeman, Delabar elected as All-Stars So much for Puig-mania sweeping the country. Give this contest to Atlanta first baseman Freddie Freeman. Freeman and Toronto reliever Steve Delabar won the fan voting for the final spots in next week’s All-Star game, meaning Los Angeles Dodgers sensation Yasiel Puig likely is headed for a few days off after a terrific stretch to begin his major league career. Freeman set a record with 19.7 million votes, and Puig was second. Major League Baseball didn’t release the vote total for Puig, but said the Cuban defector also surpassed the previous record for the final vote of 15.6 million for Shane Victorino in 2009. Delabar won with 9.6 million votes. The righthander is 5-1 with a 1.74 ERA in 37 appearances for the Blue Jays. – Wire report

Snead’s trophies in auction Family of golfing great makes portion of collection available By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press The Masters trophy Sam Snead won in 1954 after the epic playoff with Ben Hogan. The claret jug when Snead won his only British Open at St. Andrews. The gold medal for the 1942 PGA Championship, the first of his seven major championships. Those are among 14 lots from the Sam Snead Collection that will be the centerpiece of Heritage Auctions’ offerings next month in Chicago. “We consider it the most significant golf collection that’s ever been offered,” said Chris Ivy, director of sports at Heritage Auctions. Snead, who died in 2002, was the most prolific winner in PGA Tour history with 82 victories. Jack Snead, his son, said the trophies and memorabilia for years have been displayed at The Greenbrier Resort, the restaurant chain called Sam Snead’s Taverns, the occasional museum and at home in Hot Springs, Va. This is the first time the items have been offered at auction. “We’ve been thinking about this, trying to decide what to do because our company has so much stuff,” Snead said Tuesday. “We just thought maybe it was time to share it with golf fans and historians. We’ve had most all of dad’s trophies on display at The Greenbrier over the last 16 or 20 years. I don’t know. I’m not too keen with museums. We’ve had some weird experiences with museums when we’ve loaned things out. “We’re going to have tons of stuff we’ll maintain ourselves,” he said. “The rest we’ll let it go out and see what happens.” The first offering will be Aug. 1-2 in what Heritage calls “Platinum Night Sports Auction” at the Muvico Theater in Rosemont. The online bidding began Wednesday night.

Sam Snead’s son, Jack, holds his father’s 1998 PGA Tour Lifetime Achievment Award. Two other auctions involving the Snead Collection are planned for the fall and next spring. The Masters’ trophy and silver claret jug are each expected to bring in $100,000 or more. Ivy estimated the entire collection will get several million dollars. “A collection of this magnitude hasn’t been offered before,” he said. Ivy said previous golf items through Heritage included the original Augusta National green jacket of co-founder Bobby Jones that fetched $310,000. Other high-end golf items were Walter Hagen’s gold medal from his 1922 British Open win at Royal St. George’s and Ralph Guldahl’s gold medal from the 1939 Masters. Each went for $65,000. Snead said the proceeds would likely to go charity. “The trophies didn’t mean that much to Pop in a way,” Snead said. “In those days, he was more concerned with the
pay check. The thing he was most proud of was his record. He cared more about than any of his tournament wins.” Snead said there were some items that would never be sold at auction, though they weren’t all related to Snead’s golfing career. He mentioned the tractor that Snead rode on his farm in Virginia to relax when he was away from golf, some of the guns Snead had since he was a boy growing up in West Virginia, and the five-string banjo he played. For Heritage Sports, there wasn’t as much work involved in authenticating the items. Snead did that himself. His son said when they used to display the items in Sam Snead’s Taverns, his father thought it would be a good idea to write a note explaining the significance of each. “The provenance is much better coming from the family of an athlete,” Ivy said. “That’s something Snead did that I’ve never seen done before. He went through and numbered all the clubs he owned – the significant ones – and wrote letters of authentication of each club. We’ve got handwritten letters from Sam Snead saying, ‘This is the club used in 1954 in the playoff with Ben Hogan to win the Masters.’ He’s got literally hundreds of those.” Other items being offered in the initial auction include the putter Snead used in the 1954 Masters; the red captain’s jacket he wore in the 1969 Ryder Cup; the Wanamaker Trophy from his 1951 PGA Championship victory at Oakmont; a Ryder Cup trophy from 1959; the gold medal from his first Masters win in 1949; and a silver medal from the 1947 U.S. Open. The U.S. Open was the one major Snead never won. He lost in a playoff to Lew Worsham in 1947 at St. Louis Country Club. “It’s a pretty exciting collection,” Ivy said.

Belize players reject offer to fix Gold Cup By BRADY McCOMBS The Associated Press SALT LAKE CITY – A man who allegedly offered two Belize players large sums of money to fix a CONCACAF Gold Cup match against the United States has been identified by soccer officials, and he’s believed to have tried to fix matches in other countries. In a statement Thursday, CONCACAF said it and FIFA, soccer’s world governing body, are investigating the bribery allegations made by Ian Gay-
nair and Woodrow West. The two players said they rejected the offer, made Sunday, and immediately reported it. When a CONCACAF representative showed them a photo of a man being monitored for trying to fix matches in other countries, the Belize players confirmed it was the same man who had approached them. “So this isn’t just about our country or a one-time thing,” coach Ian Mork said after the team’s practice. “This is something much bigger.” Belize lost to the United States, 6-1,
Tuesday night in the Jaguars’ first Gold Cup appearance. It faces Costa Rica here on Saturday night, and finishes Group C play next Tuesday with a game against Cuba in East Hartford, Conn. CONCACAF, which is the federation of North and Central American and Caribbean nations, said it could not comment further on the ongoing investigation. But Mork said he doesn’t believe the players were asked to fix any other games beside Tuesday’s match against the U.S.
Playing in the Big Ten made Iowa the top choice • BEMIS Continued from page B1 “People in college, especially in strong conferences, they scout out all the teams, so you have a huge scouting report for each team,” Bemis said. “You definitely need to be smarter. It’s not where you just need to be able to hit the ball hard. Most girls there can hit the ball hard. It’s just a lot of placement and being smart, not making stupid mistakes.” She’ll move from one of the top conferences in the country to another. Five Pac-12 teams were ranked in the top 13 at season’s end, and seven Big Ten teams were ranked in the Top 25. While she talked to a few mid-major schools, the allure of playing in the Big Ten made Iowa the obvious choice. She’ll play against former club teammate Lauren Wicinski, who transferred from NIU to Michigan State after the 2011 season, and in two years, she’ll play against her sister, Courtney, a current DeKalb senior who will head to Wisconsin in 2014. “That’ll be fun to see [Courtney and Wicinski] in conference,” Bemis said. “I’m really excited to be in the Big Ten Conference. As soon as I found out that they wanted me, I was like ‘Yeah, that’s probably where I’m going to end up going.’ ” Iowa is coming off of a difficult season in which they went 10-23 and 2-18 in conference, and Bemis knows she’ll have an opportunity to step in and play right away for a team who needs hitters. She’ll open her career on Aug. 30 when Iowa travels to South Carolina for the Chanticleer Invitational. “They need more people who can put the ball away,” she said. “I talked to the coach, and I think there’s a chance to possibly start. Obviously I have to work my way towards that, but I think if I work as hard as I can, I think I’ll be able to do that.”

Ohio State president E. Gordon Gee speaks on May 5 during the Ohio State University spring commencement in Columbus, Ohio.
Ohio St. President slow to apologize By ANDREW WELSH–HUGGINS The Associated Press COLUMBUS, Ohio – Former Ohio State University President Gordon Gee took his time apologizing for remarks he made that were critical of the University of Notre Dame, Roman Catholics and Southeastern Conference schools, among several of his targets during off-the-cuff comments last year, records show. Although university trustees directed Gee in a March 11 letter to begin issuing personal apologies “promptly,” he didn’t make the first of those apologies until May 20 during a previously scheduled meeting with the bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Columbus, according to a copy of Gee’s calendar obtained by The Associated Press through a records request. Gee followed that meeting with a series of apologetic phone calls to presidents and other officials at several universities he jabbed in Dec. 5 remarks to the university’s Athletic Council. Those apologies included a May 21 trip to Notre Dame to meet in person with the university’s president, the Rev. John Jenkins, according to the calendar and officials at Ohio State and other universities.
The university declined to directly address the delay and instead referred to the events detailed by the calendar. “Dr. Gee made his apologies as outlined,” said university spokeswoman Gayle Saunders. The apologies began after the university reviewed the AP’s May 13 request for the audiotape and just days before the AP first reported on the remarks on May 30. Saunders wouldn’t comment on that timing. Gee, 69, retired July 1. He will remain at the university as a law professor, but details of his retirement package haven’t been released. Ohio State, one of the country’s biggest universities with 65,000 students, has named provost Joseph Alutto as interim president. “The university continues our focus on the strategic direction of the university under the leadership of Interim President Alutto,” said Saunders, who said she was speaking for the university and Gee. Asked for comment, Gee deferred to Saunders in an email Thursday. In the audiotaped remarks to the Athletic Council, Gee criticized Notre Dame, saying the university was never invited to join the Big Ten because the school’s religious leaders are not “good partners.”
TOUR DE FRANCE
Kittel overcomes Cavendish to take tour top position By JOHN LEICESTER The Associated Press

Emily Bemis will play against former club teammate Lauren Wicinski, who plays for Michigan State, and, in two years, will play against her sister Courtney, who commited to Wisconsin.
TOURS, France – At this Tour de France, it is Marcel Kittel and no longer Mark Cavendish who is looking like the fastest man on two wheels. Everything was primed on Thursday for Cavendish to win a 25th Tour stage in his illustrious career. His beefy teammate from Belgium, Gert Steegmans, did his job to perfection, guiding Cavendish into position for the final sprint to the line in Tours in the Loire valley. But Cavendish simply wasn’t quick enough. Kittel overtook him just before the line. That this was a man-toman contest, fair and square with no excuses, made the German’s victory feel more significant than the winning margin of mere inches. “He was just simply faster,” Cavendish conceded. “I can go back and look over and over again. I don’t think myself or the team could have done anything different. He was just simply better, you know?” It would be foolish and premature to suggest the Cavendish era at the Tour is ending. He is still by far the most successful stage winner still active. Two of the riders with more stage wins – Bernard Hinault (28) and Eddy Merckx (34) – are long retired. The third, Andre Leducq (25), died in 1980. Cavendish came to this Tour with 23, the number is written in green on the black bike he rode Thursday.

Stage winner Marcel Kittel grimaces after crossing the finish line of the twelfth stage of the Tour de France Thursday, over 136.2 miles with start in in Fougeres and finish in Tours, western France. He won his 24th last week in Marseille and could still get to 25 and match Leducq’s total at this Tour. The last stage, especially, on the Champs-Elysees in Paris almost always offers a golden opportunity for sprinters. Cavendish is unbeaten on those cobblestones since 2009. Still, the 28-year-old rider must have been hoping for better from this 100th edition of the race. Since his first victory in 2008, he has always won multiple stages at every Tour. In 2009, he won six. Cavendish switched teams this year – from Sky to Omega Pharma-Quick Step – because he wanted to be even more successful at the Tour, specifically. Unlike at Sky, which last year focused its resources on Tour winner Bradley Wiggins and, at this Tour, race leader Chris Froome, Omega has built its team around Cavendish.

JOHN DEERE CLASSIC
Johnson tied for lead at John Deere Classic By LUKE MEREDITH The Associated Press SILVIS – It took years for Zach Johnson to feel comfortable at his hometown tournament. These days, Johnson is more relaxed than anyone in the field – and that’s a major reason why he’s in early position to repeat as the champion of the John Deere Classic. Johnson shot a 7-under 64 and is tied with Camilo Villegas for the lead after Thursday’s open-
ing round of the John Deere Classic. It was the 17th straight round in the 60s at TPC Deere Run for Johnson, who grew up roughly 100 miles away in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Matt Bettencourt made the field as a late alternate and shot a 6-under 65. He’s tied for second with Daniel Summerhays and Brendon de Jonge. Boo Weekley is among a host of players at 5-under 66, while three-time tournament champi-
on Steve Stricker is at 4-under 67 heading into today’s second round. “It’s hard to believe that it’s been a year. Yeah, I just kind of felt like you’re just leading into the next round here,” Johnson said. “I’ve just gotten so used to just everything about this tournament.” It wasn’t always that way for Johnson. Johnson finished 69th here five years ago after shooting 75 and 71 in the final two rounds –
Florida St. had 3 free agent signees while NIU had 6 this spring • KORCEK Continued from page B1 In hindsight, this might have been what our favorite ESPN talking head Kirk Herbstreit meant, but never articulated on the “Bowl Selection Show” in December. To him and his snob buddies, Northern Illinois was “a joke.” Forget that the Huskies accomplished everything the BCS oversight system required. Unprofessional and unprepared, Herbstreit offered no facts to substantiate his position. Not paying attention in high school speech class again, ah, Kirk? A quick call to ESPN colleague and NFL draft expert Mel Kiper that afternoon prior to the show might have pointed to one disparity – pro prospect talent (Florida State led the nation with 11 NFL draft picks this April and had three NFL free agent signees while Northern Illinois had six NFL free agents this spring). Then comes the obvious, in the last two “Phil Steele’s College Football Preview” magazines, the Huskies’ 2012 and 2013 schedules were ranked No. 122 and No. 124, respectively, in the FBS ranks. Not good. And Steele is one of the most accurate grid prognosticators in the business. He does his research and then some. When you read about senior Heisman Trophy candidate Jordan Lynch, what’s the fly-in-the-ointment comment in most of the preseason stories? His prolific total offense statistics and the fact that eight of his games come against the MAC. What “legitimized” Garrett Wolfe in 2005-06? Many things, but his productive games at Michigan and Ohio State didn’t hurt. One can only hope that upgrading NIU’s football schedule – especially at home – is a priority for our next AD and his staff. Yes, we have the Soldier Field marquee games, too. Give the Huskies credit, they are one of a handful of MAC institutions that can swing such a date in an NFL venue and net a seven-figure profit – a financial windfall for a mid-major that could not happen in six or seven games in DeKalb. Still, the Soldier Field tickets are overpriced for many and where are all our 225,000 Northern Illinois alums? If I were athletics director – and as crazy as that sounds – I would’ve called Purdue the day after the Orange Bowl and offered the Boilermakers $400,000 to change the site of the 2013 football game from West Lafayette to DeKalb for a sixth home date. Reward the program, the community, the businesses, the student-athletes, the students (can you say activity fees?), the fans, the alums. Bring a Big Ten Conference program into Huskie Stadium for the first time.
Hasn’t Northern Illinois been a Division I grid program for 44 years? Considering some of the NIU athletics administrative salaries I read, could “we” be more entrepreneurial? It seems every time I look, a Big Ten or BCS team is playing at another MAC stadium (Michigan State at Western Michigan in 2015 and MSU at Eastern Michigan in 2018 or 2020, Missouri at Toledo in 2014, Miami (Fla.) and Iowa State at Toledo in 2015). The last five years in DeKalb, it’s been an uninspiring vanilla diet of Indiana State (2008), North Dakota (2010), Cal Poly (2012), Tennessee-Martin (2012) and our Mid-Am foes. Those opponents will really help market Northern Illinois season tickets, gain more media coverage and attract four-star recruits. Wise guy? No, I’m only an NIU grad with a little Cardinal and Black pride who wants to witness his alma mater ascend to that next level. How can any long-suffering fan forget the Maryland-Northern Illinois classic (2003)? Find an aerial shot of Huskie Stadium that night. From that angle, the stadium aisles in both grandstands are virtually indiscernible because people were sitting in them, plus standing 3-4 deep on the platform at the top of the East stands from end zone to end zone. Despite turning away 500 fans prior to the game, the “Dog House” probably was at 110-115 percent capacity. After a wonderful decade of Huskie gridiron success, how could there be 5,000-plus empty seats for Big 12 Conference opponent Kansas last fall? How? Jayhawk fans were wondering the same thing if you noticed. Look back at the 1986 Northern Illinois schedule – the first year in our second tenure as a “major independent.” Then-AD Bob Brigham might have gotten a little too aggressive with road games at West Virginia, Wisconsin, No. 21 Iowa and No. 1 Miami (Fla.) at the old Orange Bowl. For the first time in my career, I looked at our football student-athletes as student-mercenaries. Needless to say, the Huskies finished 2-9. Which might have been the opposite scheduling extreme from the last five years. Bottom line, if Northern Illinois truly desires to be the next Boise State, then improve the schedule from the 120s to the 70s, continue to work with the Big Ten, host in Soldier Field once every 3-4 years, play a minimum of six DeKalb dates and schedule strategically. If we must play an FCS at home, sign up Illinois State or Southern Illinois. Those storied, old IIAC rivalries would probably sell 1,500-2,500 opposition tickets. The idea is to fill Huskie Stadium. But not Presbyterian, sorry.

but he hasn’t touched 70 since. Johnson, who was second in 2009 and third in 2011 before winning last year, topped his final-round 65 of 2012 by one stroke Thursday. He avoided bogeys while picking up birdies on five par-4s. “It just feels so natural now,” Johnson said. ‘It just feels very, very comfortable, much like my golf game – though I don’t want to get overly content with the fact that I’m overly comfortable. So I’ve still got to go to work.”

What: Neighbors In Christ Ecumenical Food and Clothing Pantry When: 8:15 a.m. to 11 a.m. every Saturday Where: 346 S. County Line Road, Lee
L
EE — Neighbors In Christ Ecumenical may run a small food pantry but their serving of about $100,000 worth of food every year to impoverished families in DeKalb and Lee counties keeps earning them support. Their food and clothing pantry has been recognized for consistently providing effective and needed service to rural communities in the southern part of DeKalb County and Lee County from the DeKalb County Community Foundation. On June 21, the foundation awarded $17,500 for the pantry to fix an aging roof that is awaiting renovations. This isn’t the first time the food and clothing pantry has received support from the foundation. The two organizations have partnered on many projects in the past. The pantry has received grants to purchase freezers, install new windows and provide heating for their building, said Sandy Rueff, vice president of the food and clothing pantry. Neighbors In Christ Ecumenical helps alleviate the lack of food resources in the rural areas of DeKalb and Lee counties, said Anita Zurbrugg, program director of the DeKalb County Community Foundation. Other food pantries in DeKalb and Sycamore are inaccessible to the people in

The Neighbors In Christ Ecumenical Food and Clothing Pantry in Lee was awarded a $17,500 Community Needs Grant from the DeKalb County Community Foundation. On June 21, DCCF representative Pattie Foster presented the check to Jeannie Johnson, Sandy Rueff and Joe Hickey, directors of the N.I.C.E. Center. the southern part of the county that are in need, she said. “The board is very aware
of the growing gap of food availability in the county,” Zurbrugg said.
Families can qualify to shop at the food and clothing pantry if they are in the pantry’s serving area and meet federal guidelines for poverty, Rueff said. The amount of food they can obtain is dependent on the number of people in their families. They’re allowed to come twice a month and usually take in $150 worth of food, she said. “It’s a unique pantry, I don’t think there’s anything quite like it,” Rueff said. The food and clothing pantry is able to receive support from organizations such as the Northern Illinois Food Bank, local churches, the Federal Emergency Management Agency and others. Canned goods, frozen meat, fresh produce and bread are some of the items the pantry offers, Rueff said. When Neighbors In Christ Ecumenical applied for the grant to repair the roof, the DCCF challenged them to garner local contributions first, Zurbrugg said. The foundation’s board always wants to make sure organizations are able to make the most economical grant requests possible
because the foundation receives two to three times more requests than what they have available for grants, she said. “We always encourage leveraging and partnership whenever possible,” Zurbrugg said. With the assistance of 15 local churches who are part of Neighbors In Christ Ecumenical, the pantry was able to raise about $13,500. Along with the grant from the foundation, the pantry was able to allocate about $31,000 for repairing the roof. “We were delighted that we were able to convey that grant and in our opinion help narrow the food availably gap as much as possible,” Zurbrugg said. The pantry has been running for more than 25 years, Rueff said. An old water tower place in Shabbona was the first home for the pantry until it moved to its current location in 1999. The location used to be the Lee Grade School and the pantry operates in the newest additions to the building, she said. The pantry continues to be an important resource that supplements the needs of families in rural areas, Rueff said. Every weekend the pantry serves about 37 to 57 families, which is quite a bit for a small food pantry, she said. “We saw a need for help and we never dreamed it would grow to where it is today,” Rueff said.

Roberta Maxfield, who has been the Hebrew teacher for the older students, also will be the core teacher in the pre-K through second-grade classes, in addition to Hebrew this year. Maxfield, who lives in DeKalb, also is available for private Hebrew tutoring, and has been working with FVJS b’nai mitzvah students.

Ortal Alschitz will teach the beginner Hebrew class again this year. Tuition for this coming year is $210 for one child and $180 for additional children from the same family. The fee for Hebrew classes for students in grades 3 through 8, held immediately following Sunday school, is an additional $90 per student.

Transgender woman seeks rules on dating Dear Abby: I am a 30-yearold transgender woman who has just started her journey. Feeling more comfortable in my skin, I have been going to some local hangouts with some friends from work and meeting straight men. My question is, when is it appropriate to disclose that I am a preoperative trans woman? I have tried online dating on trans-friendly websites, as well as visited the local transgender bar, but those men tend only to be looking for sex, and I am looking for more than that. I would love your advice on the matter. – Starting My Journey Dear Starting: For your safety, it is important that you disclose your status early, before there is any sex involved. If you don’t,
DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips the straight man could react violently and possibly put you in danger. At this point, it would be a good idea to contact PFLAG (Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays) because it can put you in touch with resources to help you through your journey. The largest increase in new individuals reaching out to PFLAG is now among people with “trans” issues – and this includes both trans individuals and their family members. It is critically important to seek out a culturally com-
petent therapist to help you with specific issues. To find referrals and a local chapter, visit pflag.org. Dear Abby: My husband is in Afghanistan for a year. When he returns, I want to ask him to get tested for STDs before we have sex. I do not have any specific reason to think he would be having sex with someone while deployed, but let’s face it. He’s a man, and a year is a long time to abstain when there are females present. I have seen text messages from his buddies that read, “What happens on deployment stays on deployment,” regarding them cheating on their spouses. How do I approach the subject in the most effective way? I know that when I do, he will be mad, but it’s not
the first time that STDs have been a problem in our relationship. Help! – Thinking Of My Health
Dear Thinking Of Your Health: One would think that a man who loves his wife would want to be absolutely POSITIVE that he wouldn’t give her a sexually transmitted infection. However, because your husband has given you one before, it is perfectly logical that you tell him it is the reason you want him to be tested before resuming your marital relationship. Dear Abby: I’m a single 32-year-old who lives across the country from my family. I have two sets of grandparents who both send me birthday and holiday cards containing checks. The problem is, I earn
close to six figures, which is far more than my grandparents’ income in retirement, and I have only myself to support. I typically shred their checks when I receive them. Should I continue to do this, or should I tell them that as much as I appreciate the sentiment, a simple card would be fine? – Secretly Shredding in Seattle Dear S.S. in S.: When a check isn’t cashed, it is obvious to the check writer, and it can cause problems in balancing the person’s checkbook. I think your solution to tell them you no longer need the checks is a good one.

You can’t escape stress but can manage it Dear Dr. K: I have a stressful job. I think the stress helps me perform at my best, but my doctor says that in the long run, stress is bad for my health. Is he right? Dear Reader: Your body reacts to acute stressors with a “fight-or-flight” response. Thirty thousand years ago, the acute stressor for your ancestors may have been the sight of several lions heading in their direction. Today, the acute stressor might be a bus rushing toward you as you cross the street. Following an acute stressor, the brain triggers a cascade of chemicals and stress hormones that speed the heart rate, quicken breathing, increase blood pressure and boost the amount of energy
ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff supplied to muscles. All of these changes enable your body to rise to occasions and events that reward heightened awareness and abilities. (I’ve put a detailed illustration of the stress response on my website.) Unfortunately, the body does a poor job of discriminating between grave, immediate dangers and day-to-day stressful situations. Sometimes, even when a situation isn’t life or death, a jolt of stress can be a good thing. As you mentioned, stress can enhance perfor-
mance and efficiency. However, acute stress or anything that generates a sudden surge of emotion can occasionally cause a catastrophe. In a person who has heart disease – dangerously narrowed arteries of the heart – a sudden rush of adrenaline can make the heart work harder. The insufficient blood supply to a hardworking heart can trigger life-threatening irregular heart rhythms. Sudden surges of fear and anger can cause sudden death. For example, following the Northridge, Calif., earthquake in 1994, heart attacks increased greatly. The same happened after 9/11 – not just in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania, but all over the United States.
The more important negative effect on our health comes from chronic stress. The constant drip-drip-drip of worry – from financial fears, say, or a troubled marriage – tends to build up as the days roll on. This constant stress doesn’t find a quick physical release (like running across the street to avoid being hit by a bus); the stress recurs throughout the day. It is so constant that even when you have a moment when nothing is happening to worry you, you worry that something is waiting for you just around the corner. When the fight-or-flight response is chronically in the “on” position, the body suffers. Stress can bring on or worsen many health conditions, including depression,
diabetes, headaches and insomnia. Stress is a prime risk factor for high blood pressure and a major risk factor for heart disease. It also affects the immune system, making you more susceptible to colds and other common illnesses. It’s impossible to sidestep all sources of stress – and you wouldn’t want to. Challenges add zest to life and sometimes deliver satisfying rewards. But if stress is starting to wear you down, you can learn to perceive and manage it in healthier ways. Exercise, meditation, yoga and deep breathing are just a few relaxation strategies to look into. They really work.

The word for munching while studying is grazing Dr. Wallace: I’m home on summer break from the University of Hawaii. I have finished my first year at the university, and I will start my second year in early September. Even though I was born in California, I am 100 percent Hawaiian. That’s why I wanted to get my college education in Hawaii. When I arrived home, my parents were shocked that I was 12 pounds heavier than when I left to go to Hawaii. They were shocked and wanted to know why I gained so much weight. I told them that when I’m studying I get the munchies, and I study a lot because I want to get

TODAY – If you give it your all, substantial strides can be made in the year ahead. You already have most of the answers; you just need to apply them more effectively. CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Oddly, the more you have to do, the better you’re likely to function. Whether you’re stuck in the office or out running around, you’ll be getting things done. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – The best ideas you’re apt to get today are likely to involve ways to save money. Be sure to apply them, either for your own account or someone else’s. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Spending time with people not in your usual crowd will give you a fresh approach on things. Additionally, conversing with these people will invigorate your thinking. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Seek out some quiet place where you’ll be able to sort out your thoughts. You need to carefully plan a campaign to further your ambitions. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – One of your best attributes is the ability to recognize the worth of others’ ideas, and to use them in ways that could feather your own nest. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – An important idea can be achieved if you slightly alter or modify your present course of action. One tactic might be circumventing an obstacle instead of attempting to destroy it. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – You’re likely to get an opportunity to win over a new ally by frankly discussing a matter of mutual importance. Point out how each of you might benefit by working together. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Take some time to figure out new methods that could improve your standing at work. Your concepts could turn out to be quite ingenious. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – This could be one of those interesting days when unexpected developments prove to be the most fun. Play it loose, so that you’ll be able to take advantage of any shifting conditions. ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Any flashes of inspiration should not be treated lightly, especially if they concern your home or family. Follow up on your hunches and see where they lead. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Your mental faculties are extremely acute, giving you the power to solve all kinds of problems. Put this force to work on something that’s really important. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Accurately sizing up work- related situations shouldn’t be too difficult. Chances are you’ll arrive at your conclusions intuitively, and logic will back you up.
you up. For instance, two handfuls of pretzels equal about 220 calories. And most grazers don’t stop at two handfuls. The same amount of granola equals 330 calories. Trail mix will cost you 360 calories, and two handfuls of almonds equal 680 calories. According to dietician Ann Litt, who works with young people, the main problem with grazing is that it’s mindless. She doesn’t discourage eating between meals. Her advice to students is this: “Sit down, put food on the plate or in a bowl, and pay attention to what you are eating rather than grabbing

from a box until it’s empty.” When the munchies hit, she suggests trying any of the following snacks. Each has between 150 and 250 calories and will be more filling and more nutritious than the usual junk foods: instant hot cereal packets, two hardboiled eggs, a carton of yogurt and toast, string cheese and a pear, skim milk and a breakfast bar. ALOHA! Dr. Wallace: Please make your answer as short as possible. I want information, not a lecture, on premarital sex. What happens within a female’s body to stop conception when the female is taking a birth control pill?
I am not presently having a sexual relationship with my boyfriend, but I’m not sure how long I will remain a virgin. – Nameless, Scottsdale, Ariz. Nameless: Birth control pills are made of synthetic compounds similar to the hormones produced within a female’s body. When taken regularly in the dosage prescribed by a physician, the pill prevents pregnancy by preventing eggs from being released from the ovaries. Without a fertilized egg, pregnancy is impossible.

8CROSSWORD
BRIDGE Phillip Alder
A spot-card can improve the odds Michel de Montaigne, a 16th-century French essayist who was well-known for combining intellectual exercises with casual anecdotes, said, “In nine lifetimes, you’ll never know as much about your cat as your cat knows about you.” In bridge, nines (and 10s) can be valuable cards. If your hand has several of these intermediates, as they are known, be optimistic in the bidding. In this deal, South is in five diamonds. What should he do after taking the heartqueen lead with his ace? North made a game-invitational limit raise. South’s decision to plunge into five diamonds worked well. If he had rebid a scientific three hearts, trying to reach three no-trump, West might have deduced that his opponents were weak in spades and led that suit. Then five diamonds would have failed. South has three potential losers: two spades and one club. He has 10 winners: two hearts, six diamonds and two clubs. So it seems as though he needs the club finesse to work. However, South can improve those odds considerably. Declarer should draw trumps, cash his second heart winner, and cast adrift with a spade. The defenders take two tricks in the suit ending with West. (If East is on lead, he must either play into dummy’s club king-jack tenace or concede a ruff-and-sluff.) When West shifts to a club, South plays low from the dummy. Here, East has to put up the queen, so the contract is home. But if East can play the 10, declarer still has the finesse of dummy’s jack available. He goes down only when East has both the 10 and queen.
