DeKALB – Just as the weekly DeKalb Farmers’ Market closed for the season, Jessica Struthers got her first taste of field work as the DeKalb Chamber of Com-

where Lindsey Engelsman, formerly of Re:New DeKalb, left off planning downtown community events. The DeKalb native and Northern Illinois University graduate started Monday.

“She brings knowledge of the area to the position as well as a lot

“I’ve been trying to get a handle on everything,” Struthers said Thursday. “Today I got a chance to see the last one before next year rolls around.”

Struthers was hired to pick up

U.S. gov’t shutdown looming

By DAVID ESPO The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Time running short, the Democratic-controlled Senate passed urgent legislation Friday to avert a government shutdown early next week, and President Barack Obama lectured House Republicans to stop “appeasing the tea party” and quickly follow suit.

Despite the presidential plea – and the urgings of their own leaders – House GOP rebels showed no sign of retreat in their drive to use the threat of a shutdown to uproot the nation’s three-year-old health care law.

“We now move on to the next stage of this battle,” said Sen. Ted Cruz, the Texas Republican who is a face of the “Defund Obamacare” campaign in the Senate and is in close contact with allies in the House.

First effects of a shutdown could show up as early as Tuesday if Congress fails to approve money to keep the government going by the Monday-midnight start of the new fiscal year.

“Think about who you are hurting” if government services are interrupted, the president said at the White House, as House Speaker John Boehner pondered his next move in a fast-unfolding showdown – not only between Republicans and Democrats but between GOP leaders and conservative insurgents.

Despite Obama’s appeal, the Senate-passed measure faces a swift demise in the House at the hands of tea party conservatives who are adamantly opposed to funding the measure that includes for the three-year-old health care law.

Members of Congress are considering federal farm bill

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com Farmers like Paul Taylor will face uncertainty in planning for the future of their business without a farm bill in place.

Taylor grows corn, soybeans and lima beans on a 750-acre farm in Esmond. With the last federal farm bill set to expire at the end of the month, farmers like Taylor are hoping Congress can reach an agreement on future farm and food-stamp policy soon.

“We’ve got a lot of work ahead of us and there’s no assurance it will happen,” he said.

The farm bill, which sets national farm and food policy every five years, provides funding for a variety of agricultural and nutrition programs. Farmers receive financial assistance that protects them when excess crop supplies drive down market prices, as well as a crop insurance program that protects against financial

See BUDGET, page A9

losses if their crops are destroyed.

The farm bill marries federal farm policy with the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly known as “food stamps,” with the idea of intertwining the interests of lawmakers representing urban and rural areas.

Members of Congress currently are considering a new farm bill. Democratic and Republican lawmakers are conflicted on how to control spending in the food stamp program, which costs more than $70 billion a year.

U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Channahon, said that although he has some issues with the farm bill, he thinks Congress members will eventually agree on passing it. He said it’s important that it is passed soon because there is a need for a safety net for farmers and citizens.

“We just need it to get done,” he said. “...And it looks like it will.”

Several local farmers think the pro-

posed farm bill needs significant changes. Taylor said he would like to see a new farm bill rather than an extension on the current one, but considers that unlikely.

Bob Johnson, one of four owners of Johnson Farms, said the farming industry has thrived in recent years, and some of the agricultural assistance the farm bill now provides isn’t necessary. Johnson’s own farm produces corn, soybeans and raises pigs.

“I’m not sure personally why we need all the services the Department of Agriculture provides for us,” he said.

One service Johnson said is not necessary any more is the direct subsidies that farmers receive to help them sustain their business. Although the farming business is doing well, federal subsidies often end up going to landowners anyway, he said.

Let’s see what ‘Obamacare’ actually does The guy talking on his cellphone outside the Hy-Vee gas station was aggravated.

“Insurance premiums (grumble grumble grumble) cost me more (grumble harrumph) Obamacare!”

I didn’t want to eavesdrop. Just trying to clean the bugs off the windshield.

But I couldn’t help overhearing.

“It’s all because of this Obamacare!”

Doggone Obama and his care. Although I regret the day this phrase became part of the parlance of our times – with Barack Obama’s endorsement – it’s tough to say whether we will all regret when it became the law of the land.

The law itself is 900 pages long, covers broad swaths of society, and will no doubt have some unintended consequences – some predicted, others maybe not.

But with its fuller implementation just months away, we should at least see what happens.

The Daily Chronicle has written several stories about the Affordable Care Act this year, and on Tuesday, Illinois will launch its “Get Covered Illinois” health insurance exchange.

Then maybe, if the government doesn’t completely collapse beneath the weight of 21-hour speeches by bloviating blowhards and general inaction by our elected representatives in Congress, millions more people will have health insurance by Jan. 1.

Many of us who already had health insurance will be paying more, it seems, as insurance companies are forced to take on people with preexisting illnesses who in the past would have been turned down for being too great an insurance risk.

As many as 25 million people who did not have health insurance before could acquire it, although they might not all be happy to do so. Some people who prefer to fly without a net will be compelled to buy insurance or pay a fine – either way, something they will resent But if Obamacare works as intended, we might pay less down the line, if more people have access to preventative medical care, hospitals are held to higher standards. Fewer people might end up bankrupt when they get sick, or bump into “lifetime caps” on coverage from health insurers.

That’s the theory, anyway. Of course, nobody really wants health insurance. They want the health care it

EDITOR’S NOTE Eric Olson supposedly guarantees. As people in the health care field have pointed out, having health insurance and having health care aren’t necessarily the same thing. Things won’t get that much better if millions of new Medicaid customers can’t find a doctor willing to take them on as a patient.

But those who want to shoot the law down before it even has a chance to work should consider that the health care system in our society has been out of whack for decades, and America is unique among industrialized countries of the world in its general lack of provision for the health of its people.

We had a long time to come up with a way to address this problem. Now we have a grand scheme in place that’s been approved by all three branches of the federal government.

The arrow’s nocked and the bowstring drawn. Let’s loose it.

Maybe the Affordable Care Act will come close to the target. Maybe it will be a disaster. I don’t know for sure, and I don’t believe anyone who claims they do.

If it is a disaster, no doubt the law will be repealed in short order. Even that will be difficult though, if those who aim to strike it down have no alternative to offer. That, at least, will be a win for the people.

The Daily Chronicle will be writing more on the topic as Jan. 1 creeps closer, and no doubt after it passes. We’ll be watching for the ripple effects of this landmark law here in our own community.

Irongate lives: The DeKalb City Council has given preliminary approval to ShoDeen’s plan to build about 1,200 homes near DeKalb High School, a couple of months after the plan failed to pass muster in a tie vote.

Since the last vote, 6th Ward Alderman Dave Baker and 7th Ward Alderwoman Monica O’Leary changed their “no” votes to “yes.”

Odds are that it will receive final approval when the council considers it again in October. Baker and O’Leary already have changed their votes once, it would be awfully strange for them to flip-flop a second time.

But this subdivision is coming in as part of an annexation agreement, which gives the council a lot of negotiating power. There’s no reason for the council to settle for less than exactly what they want to see there, with the build-out occurring at a measured pace. A lot of concerns about rental property and land donation have now been ironed out.

Speaking of iron, is there any chance “Irongate” is just a working title?

As one person mentioned to me recently, Irongate “sounds like you’re in ‘Game of Thrones’ battling House Lannister.”

Maybe they can come up with something a bit more pastoral to put on the monument sign outside the entrance.

Alarming tidbit: This week we had a disturbing story about a DeKalb man arrested on suspicion of distributing child pornography online.

The arrest came in part as a result of the efforts of a Sycamore police detective who joined the Illinois Attorney General’s Internet Crimes Against Children task force in February. In the time the detective has been working with the task force, he has been involved in nine child porn cases, leading to the arrests of three DeKalb residents, a Sycamore resident, four cases referred to outside agencies and one ongoing investigation, Sycamore Police Sgt. Ron Swartzendruber said.

Many thanks to the police for pursuing those who target and exploit children. Offenders who are titillated by viewing these images are a tremendous risk to start acting them out. Our communities are safer with this work underway. No doubt the investigations can be stomach-turning.

It should give all parents pause to think that since February, there have been four local arrests. The man police arrested this week told police he had thousands of images of child pornography on his computer at his home in the 400 block of South Seventh Street in DeKalb.

We should still believe in a world where we can trust our neighbors. But these arrests are good reminders that we need to protect our children.

The Associated Press MARINGA, Brazil – Dan slurped desperately on his pink nursing bottle and spilled milk all over the place, while his brother, Tom, patiently waited to take a swim in the family pool.

It would be a typical family scene if not for the fact that Dan and Tom tip the scales at 700 pounds, have claws that could slice a man in two and were raised along with seven other tigers sleeping in the beds of Ary Borges’ three daughters.

The big cats still amble about his humble home in the middle of an industrial neighborhood in this southern Brazil city, even if experts say the situation is “crazy” and sure to eventually lead to a mauling, though one has yet to occur.

Borges also has two lions, a monkey, and a pet Chihuahua named Little inside his makeshift animal sanctuary, where man and beast live together in his spacious red-dirt compound, separated from the outside world by tall metal fences and high wooden walls.

The Brazilian family is now locked in a legal dispute for the cats, with federal wildlife officials working to take them away. While Borges does have a license to raise the animals, Brazilian wildlife officials say he illegally bred the tigers, creating a public danger.

Borges says it all started in 2005 when he first rescued two abused tigers from a traveling circus. He defends his right to breed the animals and argues he gives them a better home than they might find elsewhere in Brazil.

Ary Borges feeds his tiger, Dan, at his home Thursday in Maringa, Brazil. Borges is in a legal battle with federal wildlife officials to keep his endangered animals from undergoing vasectomies and being taken away from him.

“Sadly there are so many animals dying in zoos that have no oversight. My animals are treated extremely well ... we’re preserving and conserving the species,” he said. “We have a great team of veterinarians. We give them only the best, but we’re being persecuted.”

Ibama, Brazil’s environmental protection agency that also oversees wildlife, declined repeated requests for comment.

The agency is working through courts to force Borges to have the male tigers undergo vasectomies so they can’t repro-

duce. It also wants his caretaker license confiscated and to obtain the cats. Borges appealed and the matter is pending before a federal court.

Borges has strong support in Maringa for his cause, and earlier this year the city council passed a measure that banned vasectomies on wild animals within city limits.

Next door to the tiger compound, Marli Mendes can see the big cats from her office window. “I have nothing against them, they really don’t bother,” she says.

G-K celebrates ‘Vegas’ themed homecoming

By FELIX SARVER GENOA – The Genoa-Kingston High School mascot didn’t travel alone for the homecoming parade this year.

Senior Amanda Murray decided to dress as Cogs for the parade but had a Cogs groom as well. It was part of the “Just Got Married” theme for the high school senior float that was part of this year’s “Las Vegas” theme. Murray is part of the high school’s student council and helped coordinate the homecoming parade, which she found had one of the best turnouts this year than in the past.

“The parade is always a huge deal for homecoming,” she said.

On Friday afternoon, fall sports teams, students and the high school’s homecoming court traveled around Genoa and ended their journey at the Genoa-Kingston

Seniors: Mike Kuhn, Kayla Butz Juniors: Griffin McNeal, Megan McCausland Sophomores: Tommy Lucca, Kelly Hensley Freshmen: Zach Butler, Rachel Hughes Middle School. Each high school class in the parade had its own theme that related to the Las Vegas theme, Murray said. Junior students had an Egyptian pyramid in their float and sophomore students had a New York theme. Some of the freshman students were dressed as dice.

One sports team that participated in the parade was the Genoa-Kingston Broncos. The youth football organization has more than 100 students from ages 6 to 11 who are football players or cheerleaders.

Kirkland woman killed in crash

Erik Anderson for Shaw Media

The Genoa-Kingston homecoming parade gets underway on West Second Street with homecoming prince Griffin McNeal, 16, and princess Megan McCausland, 17, in Genoa on Friday.

The G-K Broncos parade float included a giant head of a fierce horse and a football field goal post. Mike Marth, vice president of the organization, said about 60 to 70 of the organization’s youths participated in the parade.

Marth said the parade this year seemed to have a lot more involvement, and it’s always special for the children involved.

“They’re the reason we do

this,” he said.

Kingston resident Amy Awe said it was great to see all of the fall sports teams in the parade. Awe, who has two children in Genoa-Kingston School District 424, said the Genoa community connects well with the school district.

“That’s why we moved here,” she said. “… for the strong community spirit and the football programs.”

Motorcycle ride kicks off 2013 Toys for Tots program

By DOUG OLESON

How to help

doleson@shawmedia.com Fall may have just arrived, but it’s not too soon to think about the season of giving.

The 2013 Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program in DeKalb County will kick off its annual drive for Christmas gifts for children in need with a motorcycle ride Saturday. It will start at 4 p.m. at DeKalb Harley-Davidson and end at the Genoa Veterans Home.

“This is our second attempt at it,” Mike Fogelsanger, coordinator of the bike ride, said. “Last year, we did it in October and it was too cold, so we moved it up a month.”

Despite 50-degree temperatures last year, more than 100 motorcyclists participated.

So far this year, Fogelsanger

For information on the kickoff ride, call 815-761-0161 or 815-7564558.

For information or to volunteer for Toys for Tots, call 779-7775896 or email toysfortots60115@ comcast.net. has been contacted by groups from Rockford, Chicago and Iowa.

“We may have 300 depending on the weather,” he said.

Riders will pay $10 plus a new, unwrapped toy to participate in the ride, and passengers will pay $5. Proceeds support the local Toys for Tots. Fogelsanger said there is no set fundraising goal.

The purpose of the ride is to make people aware that the season is coming and to think of those in need.

“It’s tough times all around,” he said.

Registration at DeKalb Harley-Davidson, 969 N. Peace Road, is from 3 to 4 p.m.

The route travels through DeKalb and Sycamore before ending at the Genoa Veterans Home, 311 S. Washington St., which will host an after party from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Fogelsanger said riders will be escorted by local police and fire departments.

Jake Zimmerman, marketing manager for DeKalb Harley-Davidson, said the kickoff ride coincides with the store’s Octoberfest, which runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., featuring German food and beer and a performance by a local band from noon to 4 p.m.

Shooter also will perform at the after party.

“This is for a good cause,” Zimmerman said. “We’re

tor pulling a farming implement.

“Neither one of them saw each other until they were reasonably close,” Chief Deputy Gary Dumdie said.

The implement likely was partially in Villers’ lane, as it was 15 feet wide and the lane is 11 feet wide, Dumdie said. Villers was pronounced dead at the scene, and the 17-year-old Genoa boy driving the tractor was taken to Kishwaukee Hospital with no visible injuries, Dumdie said.

The crash remains under investigation.

happy to be part of it.”

Kathi Hogshead Davis, DeKalb County ride coordinator, said Toys for Tots collection boxes will be located throughout DeKalb County from the first week of November through Dec. 14. Toys will be distributed by The Salvation Army in DeKalb just before Christmas.

Last year, Fogelsanger said more than 12,000 toys were donated in the county, including some last-minute gifts organizers purchased Christmas Eve. “Nobody wants to tell any child they can’t have a toy,” he said.

Zimmerman said the Harley dealership also will partner with Opportunity House for a fundraiser in October. A chili cook-off is planned at the dealership Oct. 19.

The (Peoria) Journal Star reported that agency director Lisa Bonnett asked the Attorney General’s Office to pursue action against the railway company Thursday.

The collapse of a bridge sent six of the train’s cars into the Spoon River on Sept. 16 at Seville.

Court denies Quinn bid to keep pay freeze

By SARA BURNETT The Associated Press CHICAGO – A state appellate court has denied Gov. Pat Quinn’s request to withhold lawmakers’ pay while he appeals a ruling that his veto of legislative salaries was unconstitutional.

Quinn vetoed $13.1 million for lawmaker pay in July as a consequence of the Legislature not addressing Illi- Gov. Pat Quinn nois’ nearly $100 billion pension shortfall.

House Speaker Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton sued, saying the veto was unconstitutional.

Cook County Judge Neil Cohen agreed Thursday. He ordered the state to immediately issue the two monthly paychecks lawmakers had

missed.

Earlier Friday, Cohen also refused Quinn’s request to stop lawmakers from being paid while he appeals. Quinn then asked the appellate court to halt the payments.

The court denied the motion late Friday in a one-sentence order.

Ill. judge: Same-sex marriage lawsuit can proceed

By TAMMY WEBBER The Associated Press CHICAGO – A lawsuit seeking to overturn Illinois’ ban on gay marriage can move forward in the courts, a judge ruled Friday, buoying hopes among some same-sex couples that it’s just a matter of time before they can marry in their home state.

Cook County Circuit Judge Sophia Hall denied a motion to dismiss the lawsuit, saying the 25 couples who filed it can argue that they have a fun-

damental right to marry and that the state’s 17-year-old ban discriminates against them based on sexual orientation.

“Marriage is the standard in terms of how you define relationships in the U.S.,” said 44-year-old Suzie Hutton, a plaintiff who now is in a civil union with her partner of 11 years, Danielle Cook. “It means something, and we want to be able to say we are married. It’s about being with the one you love, the one who supports you and the one you go through the routine of life

with.”

Another plaintiff, Patrick Bova, 75, who has been with his partner, 81-year-old James Darby, for 50 years, said they easily could have gotten married in another state that allows gay marriage. “But we want to get married in Illinois,” he said.

The state law is being defended by five downstate clerks after Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez and Attorney General Lisa Madigan refused to do so, saying they agreed with plaintiffs

that the ban is unconstitutional.

“We are confident that Illinois’ marriage laws will ultimately be upheld,” said Paul Linton, an attorney for the clerks. “The people of Illinois have always understood marriage as a relationship that may exist only between one man and one woman.”

He said marriage is meant for “the procreation of children and providing a stable environment for such children raised by their biological mother and father.”

Probe of ’82 Tylenol slayings to return

By DON BABWIN The Associated Press CHICAGO – The unsolved investigation into the deaths of seven people who swallowed cyanide-laced Tylenol is returning to where it started more than 30 years ago, as a group of Illinois law enforcement agencies said Friday that the FBI will no longer lead the probe.

Police in Arlington Heights – where three of the victims died – announced in a news release that a task force

made up of their department along with the Illinois State Police and police departments in Chicago, Elk Grove Village, Lombard, Schaumburg and Winfield will run the investigation.

The FBI will continue to “provide resources in areas of expertise as needed to support the investigation,” according to the release, adding that task force will also work with prosecutors’ offices in Cook County and DuPage County.

“The investigation is ongo-

ing, and it continues to be active,” said Arlington Heights Police Commander Mike Hernandez. He said the logistics about what each agency will do still has to be worked out.

Friday’s announcement comes two days shy of the 31st anniversary of the day people who’d taken Extra Strength Tylenol started to die of cyanide poisoning.

In a space of three days beginning Sept. 29, 1982, seven people who took cyanide-laced Tylenol in Chicago and four suburbs died.

No license for ex-trooper blamed in deadly crash The ASSOCIATED PRESS MOUNT VERNON – Illinois officials have again denied a former state trooper’s request to reinstate his driving privileges, which he lost after causing a 2007 freeway crash that killed two teenage sisters.

Secretary of State Jesse White denied Matt Mitchell’s third bid to get his license back Thursday because he doesn’t think Mitchell has “satisfactorily accepted responsibility for his conduct,” White’s spokes-

man David Drucker said.

Mitchell can reapply for every three months, and Drucker said he’s already requested another hearing, the Belleville News-Democrat reported.

Authorities say Mitchell was driving more than 120 mph and using his cellphone and computer on Interstate 64 east of St. Louis in November 2007 when his cruiser crossed the median and slammed into Jessica and Kelli Uhl’s car, killing them.

Mitchell later pleaded guilty

to reckless homicide and received probation.

At his July hearing, Mitchell promised he would never drive or reside in Illinois again if he got his license back. He insisted he needs to get licensed and employed in Texas, where he now lives.

He also apologized to the victims’ family and said the deadly crash was attributable to the speed at which he was driving, never mentioning his use of a cellphone or computer in the moments leading to the wreck.

Global watchdog approves Syria disarmament plan

By MIKE CORDER The Associated Press THE HAGUE, Netherlands – The world’s chemical weapons watchdog approved an ambitious and risky accelerated plan to rid Syria of its chemical arsenal at a late night meeting Friday.

The decision by the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) paved the way for the U.N. Security Council to adopt a resolution enshrining the plan, which will make it legally binding.

The resolution, already agreed on by the five veto-wielding members, was expected to pass easily late Friday at the United Nations, breaking a nearly three-year deadlock on the council, which had been deeply divided on Syria.

“The good news is there’s a decision and we expect to have an advance team on the ground [in Syria] next week,” OPCW spokesman Michael Luhan told reporters at the organization’s Hague headquarters.

The risks inspectors will face were underscored when a car bomb exploded outside a mosque north of Damascus, killing at least 30 people, the latest victims of a civil war which has claimed more than 100,000 lives and driven another 7 million – around a third of the country’s pre-war population – from their homes since March 2011.

Law experts, meanwhile, said discussions were underway to set up a war crimes tribunal for Syria to punish perpetrators from all sides of atrocities.

The agreement in The

Stocks don’t melt down when gov’t shuts down The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK – The government shuts down. The economy unravels. Stocks plunge.

That may be Wall Street’s worst fear, but history shows it’s mostly overblown.

There have been 17 government shutdowns since 1976, ranging in length from one to 21 days. None has caused a market meltdown.

The average decline in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index during a shutdown lasting 10 days or more is about 2.5 percent. For shutdowns lasting five days or fewer, the average decline is 1.4 percent.

“If they shut the government down for two days, the world’s not going to stop revolving,” says Ron Florance, deputy chief investment officer for Wells Fargo Private Bank.

Shutdowns may even offer a buying opportunity.

Investors should consider the improving outlook for the global economy instead of

Hague allows the start of a mission to rid Syria’s regime of its estimated 1,000-ton chemical arsenal by mid-2014, significantly accelerating a destruction timetable that often takes years to complete.

“This decision sends an unmistakable message that the international community is coming together to work for peace in Syria beginning with the elimination of chemical weapons in that country,” OPCW Director-General Ahmet Uzumcu said in a statement.

The draft Security Council resolution agreed upon Thursday by Russia, China, the United States, France and Britain includes two legally binding demands – that Syria abandon its chemical stockpile and allow unfettered access to the chemical-weapons experts.

worrying about Washington.

This isn’t August 2011, when the government hit the debt ceiling and the Dow Jones industrial average endured three weeks of triple-digit swings. Europe’s economies are no longer is crisis and the U.S. recovery is farther along.

In fact, stocks rose 6.5 percent in the first three months of 2013 heading into the most recent government “crisis,” the start of the automatic federal budget cuts, also referred to as the sequester.

Still, investors this week have been warily eyeing Washington’s budget negotiations. If a budget fails to pass, a government shutdown could start as soon as Tuesday. The stock market has fallen six of the past seven trading days.

While the two percent decline over that stretch is modest, it shows that investors have been leery of buying stocks ahead of two big financial deadlines for U.S. government.

Climate panel forecast: Higher seas, temperatures The ASSOCIATED PRESS STOCKHOLM – Top scientists have a better idea of how global warming will shape the 21st century: In a new report, they predict sea levels will be much higher than previously thought and pinpoint how dangerously hot it’s likely to get.

In its most strongly worded report yet, an international climate panel said it was

more confident than ever that global warming is a manmade problem and likely to get worse. The report was welcomed by the Obama administration and environmental advocates who said it made a strong and urgent case for government action, while skeptics scoffed at it.

“There is something in this report to worry everyone,” said Chris Field, a Carnegie Institution scientist who is a

leader of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change but wasn’t involved in the report released Friday.

Without any substantial changes, he said the world is now on track for summers at the end of the century that are hotter than current records, sea levels that are much higher, deluges that are stronger and more severe droughts.

The Nobel Prize-winning panel’s report called the

warming of the planet since 1950 “unequivocal” and “unprecedented” and blamed increases in heat-trapping greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide from the burning of coal, oil and gas.

The United Nations created the panel of climate researchers in 1990 to tell world leaders what science is saying about global warming and how bad it will get. This is the group’s fifth major state-of-

the-science report, approved by nearly 200 nations at the end of a weeklong meeting in Stockholm.

In its last massive report in 2007, the panel said it was “very likely” – or 90 percent certain – that global warming was due to human activity, particularly carbon dioxide from things like coal-burning power plants and car exhaust.

The new report moves that to 95 percent or “extremely like-

ly.”

The panel also fine-tuned its predictions for temperature changes and sea levels by the end of this century.

Their worst case scenario previously put sea levels increase at just shy of 2 feet by 2100; now they put it at slightly more than 3 feet. They cite better understanding of how much glaciers and ice sheets are melting and how water expands as it warms.

Kenyan official: Troops caused mall collapse The ASSOCIATED PRESS NAIROBI, Kenya – Kenya’s military caused the collapse of three floors of the Westgate Mall in the deadly terrorist siege, a top-ranking official disclosed Friday, while the government urged patience with the pace of an investigation that has left key questions unanswered.

Seven days after 67 people were killed in the attack on the upscale shopping center, there is still no clear word on the fate of dozens who have been reported missing and no details on the terrorists who carried it out.

The account of the roof collapse raises the possibility that the military may have caused the death of hostages in its rescue attempt. An undisclosed number of people are feared to be buried in the rubble.

The official said autopsies will be conducted on any bodies found to determine the cause of death – from the militants or the structural collapse. The high-ranking government official spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to divulge sensitive information.

The official also confirmed that Kenyan troops fired rock-

et-propelled grenades inside the mall, but would not say what caused the floors to collapse, if the action was intentional, or if it was an accident.

The account at least partially backs up information given to AP on Wednesday by another official who said RPGs fired by soldiers created a gaping hole in the mall’s roof and caused the floors to collapse.

Four huge explosions had rocked the mall Monday and dark smoke poured out — the likely time that the floors collapsed.

A soldier who was returning from the mall Tuesday while carrying a rocket launcher told the AP reporter that he had fired it inside. The soldier spoke on condition of anonymity because he was ordered not to talk to the media.

The government has not said publicly what caused the collapse. One official had earlier suggested it was caused by a mattress fire in the Nakumatt department store.

Presidential spokesman Manoah Esipisu said structural engineers are examining the collapse. FBI agents, along with investigators from Britain, Canada and Germany, are participating in the inquiry.

Results are not expected until next week at the earliest.

Struthers will coordinate five yearly events • PLANNER Continued from page A1 The Chamber applied for and received a $45,000 grant from the city in June to fund the event managing position. As part of that agreement with the city, Struthers will coordinate five yearly events: the weekly

farmers markets, Spooktacular, Hollydays, Breakfast with the Bunny and the Memorial Day Parade. But the Chamber is open to adding more events.

“Other events are still in the idea mode,” Duffy said.

Struthers graduated from DeKalb High School in 2006, and received an undergraduate degree in marketing from

North Central College in 2010.

Last year she graduated with a master’s degree in business administration from NIU, where she worked as an assistant women’s golf coach.

She has held marketing and planning roles with both the PGA and LPGA over the years.

“It’s a good fit,” Struthers said.

Johnson: Bureaucracy not efficient enough • FARM BILL Continued from page A1 Johnson said he also thinks the crop insurance is a good program, but the bureaucracy that comes along with it is not efficient enough.

More than 48 million Americans are on food stamps, said Ross Fraser, spokesman with Feeding America. Fraser said Feeding America, which is

a national association of food banks in the nation, is deeply concerned about any cuts made to the food stamp program.

Food banks already are struggling to keep up demand, and cuts to the food stamp program would cause more people to seek help, he said.

“Since the recession started, the amount of people coming to us have skyrocketed,” he said.

The public interest is served by having a reliable food sup-

ply and having farmers stay in business, said State Rep. Robert Pritchard, R-Hinckley.

He said that just like legislation on school funding in Illinois, the federal farm bill should have been passed awhile ago for him. Farmers are going to have to make fiscal decisions without having a program in place, he said.

“That’s never a good thing, whether we’re talking about education or agriculture,” he said.

Impacts of shutdown would be felt unevenly • BUDGET Continued from page A1 The Senate’s 54-44 vote was strictly along party lines in favor of the bill, which would keep the government operating routinely through Nov. 15.

The immediate impacts of a shutdown would be felt unevenly. Soldiers, air traffic controllers and many other federal workers would remain on the job. Social Security payments would still go out. But national parks would close to visitors. There would be problems for homebuyers seeking government-backed mortgages and for people applying for some other programs. Delays and closings would spread if a shutdown last for long.

Friday’s Senate vote masked a ferocious struggle for control of the Republican Party pitting Boehner and Senate Leader Mitch McConnell against rebels led by relatively junior lawmakers, Cruz and Mike Lee of Utah and a

few dozen allies in the House among them.

The outcome of that contest – more than differences between the two political parties – is likely to determine whether the government shuts down for the first time in nearly two decades.

Cruz told reporters he had had numerous conversations with fellow conservatives in recent days, adding, “I am confident the House of Representatives will continue to stand its ground, continue to listen to the American people and ... stop this train wreck, this nightmare that is Obamacare.”

The House is scheduled to be in session both today and Sunday, but it is unclear when it will vote on a new bill to avert a shutdown, and what health care-related items it will include.

Obama spoke more than an hour later at the White House, where he said it was up to House Republicans to follow the Senate’s lead and prevent

a shutdown. He said the struggle has nothing to do with budget deficits, and said if Republicans “have specific ideas on how to genuinely improve the [health care] law rather than gut it, rather than delay, it rather than repeal it, I am happy to work with them.”

He also said even a shutdown would not prevent the scheduled opening of socalled health care exchanges next Tuesday through which millions of Americans will be able to shop for coverage.

“That’s a done deal,” he said Brendan Buck, a spokesman for Boehner, issued a statement in response that said, “The House will take action that reflects the fundamental fact that Americans don’t want a government shutdown and they don’t want the train wreck that is Obamacare. Grandstanding from the president, who refuses to even be a part of the process, won’t bring Congress any closer to a resolution.”

Intense reactions from hateful town square While writing my latest book, “Killing Jesus,” I knew I would receive hate mail once it hit the marketplace. Your mom was right when she told you never to discuss politics and religion, because emotions run so high in those arenas.

Especially religion.

Even before “Killing Jesus” was released, the mail began pouring in. And some of it was very nasty.

Brent in Texas opined: “O’Reilly, you are not someone who has the right to write a book about Jesus.”

Eric in South Carolina: “You are helping to deceive people with your ignorance about Jesus.”

Al in Louisiana: “Bill, what do you know about Jesus? You are Catholic, and they don’t know anything about the Bible.”

And Raleigh in California really let loose with some disturbing stuff: “Bill, please repent before it is too late. You seem to be angry at God because he put a black man in the White House.”

Of course, none of these folks had actually read “Killing Jesus,” because it had not been released. The book is pure

VIEWS Bill O’Reilly history; there is no religion in it. The people lashing out at me for daring to address their savior in any capacity are so intense in their beliefs that they have lost all sight of reality.

Now, a sad fact of life in America is that there are some very unstable folks running around, and they have always been with us. But from my perch as a national TV commentator, I can tell you with certainty that the level of fanaticism is rising not only here, but all over the world.

The reason is the Internet. In the past, kooks were kind of isolated. But now they can find other loons in cyberspace with whom to commiserate. That encourages bizarre behavior, as disturbed people think their outlook is acceptable because others are saying the same thing on their machines.

The chief al-Qaida recruiting tool is

the Internet. Neo-Nazis campaign heavily in cyberspace. NAMBLA, the child rape club, has a worldwide presence online.

There is little anyone can do with fanatics. Reasoning with them is a fool’s errand.

Avoiding them is mandatory. These people are dangerous. They spread poison and could not care less who they hurt.

Thus, the Internet has become a hatefilled town square with no limits put on destructive verbal behavior.

And millions of children have access to all the vitriol.

Freedom has always had a downside.

With technology allowing for instant communication, hate groups, perverts and killers now have many more opportunities to cause harm than ever before.

Again, there’s little anyone can do about it.

But everyone should be aware of it.

Thumbs up: To responsible teens. Thirty-five students at DeKalb High School are participating in a program to spread awareness of driving safety. The teens have pledged to practice safe driving behaviors and to limit distractions while driving, such as texting, phone conversations and loud music. Better yet, they are working to get their peers to take the same pledge. Sure, there is grant money and a Kelly Clarkson concert at stake, but if the teens are serious about sticking to their pledge, roads will be safer for everyone.

Thumbs down: To a not-so-independent review of the National Security Agency spying programs. President Barack Obama appointed a panel that he described as independent experts to conduct a review, but the panel is effectively operating as an arm of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, who oversees the NSA. Any report the “independent” panel submits must be approved by the White House before it can be released, and it has been exempted from rules requiring that it meet in public. That will bear noting when their report has been vetted and released to the public.

Thumbs up: To an in-state college football matchup we’re eager to see, between Northern Illinois and Northwestern on Sept. 6, 2014. The game, which will be played at Northwestern’s Ryan Field in Evanston, should be a big draw for fans of the Huskies and Wildcats alike, given how many alumni of both schools live in the area. Some programs seem scared to schedule a quality non-conference opponent such as NIU, but they’re also finding out that out-of-state pushovers don’t exactly draw big crowds. It would be great if this game were the start of a running series between the Huskies and Wildcats.

Thumbs up: To this year’s Penguin Project production of Disney’s “The Little Mermaid Jr.” and the community support it has received. The Penguin Project pairs young people with disabilities with those without disabilities for a theatrical production. The cast of dozens has been working together on lines, songs and dance numbers for months. The show opened Thursday at Sycamore High School and has only two remaining performances. The Sunday show already is sold out. This project is a great lesson in friendship and accepting others.

Thumbs up: To DeKalb earning a rating of three out of five from judges in the America in Bloom program, which evaluates municipalities’ landscaping, environmental efforts and heritage preservation. Judges visited DeKalb for two days earlier this year and provided a detailed critique, and hopefully, plenty of suggestions for local programs. It was the first time the city participated in the program. The program offers valuable outside perspectives, but local leaders should get the most out of the $1,099 entry fee by carefully reviewing the suggestions and publicizing what the jugdes enjoyed, as well as their future visits.

A solution for minimum wage What is to be done with the federal minimum wage – stuck at $7.25 an hour since 2009, with no raise in sight?

One approach is just that: Stay with the status quo, on the theory that a higher minimum wage is a job-killer. As House Speaker John A. Boehner, R-Ohio, has put it, “When you raise the price of employment, guess what happens? You get less of it.”

Backers of a higher minimum acknowledge the potential for job losses but argue that it is minor and offset by the benefits to low-income workers and society at large of a raise. In the absence of congressional action, they are pushing for increases at the state and local level (19 states and the District of Columbia already have minimum wages above the federal level).

On Wednesday, California Gov. Jerry Brown, signed a bill that will raise the minimum in the nation’s largest state to $10 by 2016.

The U.S. economy needs a national policy, not a patchwork of state and local laws. It’s time for a grand bargain on the federal minimum wage, one that recognizes that both sides in this seemingly endless debate have a point. A decent society can afford neither to price entry-level workers out of jobs nor to leave them completely without leverage in the labor market.

The first step in reforming the federal minimum wage is to index it to inflation, thus eliminating the need for an act of Congress – and a rehearsal of the shopworn arguments – before every increase.

Since there is a national consensus in favor of some minimum wage, if not its precise level, let’s take the politics out of maintaining its purchasing power.

Both business and workers would benefit from stability and certainty; a federal minimum that kept up with inflation might also discourage state and local governments from acting separately.

The second step is an increase, to make up for some of the purchasing power that has been lost in recent years. House Democrats want $10.10, which is a return to 1968’s all-time high in real terms; President Obama has suggested $9, the 1981 level. Given GOP opposition, neither is politically feasible.

Spartans post 2nd straight shutout

By ANTHONY ZILIS sports@daily-chronicle.com OTTAWA – Without its two most dominant two-way players, the Sycamore football team still was unstoppable on both sides of the ball in Friday night’s 34-0 win over Ottawa.

Without Dion Hooker, who suffered an injury last week, and Ben Niemann, who sprained his ankle on the second drive of the game, the Spartans (5-0) shut out their opponent for the second straight week and put up five touchdowns in the first 29 minutes of the game.

“Football is such a team game and, yeah, we have a couple of players that defenses really game plan for,” Spartans senior running back Riley Hurley said. “But I think as long as we play as a team, and we really take care of our responsibilities, it showed tonight, we still get the job done.”

Without Hooker, Hurley took the bulk of the carries and scored on a 1-yard touchdown run early in the first quarter after setting himself up with an 18-yard run.

On its first drive, Ottawa (1-4) drove all the way to the 17-yard line, but on fourth down, Sycamore safety Michael Stinnett intercepted quarterback Carter Krause at the 10 and weaved his way all the way to the end zone to give the Spartans a 14-0 lead. “[The interception] really shifted the energy; it really got them down,” Stinnett said. “The defense was really getting pressured last week and this week because we were the lower point the first three games, so we knew we needed to tighten up and we did it.”

The Sycamore defense forced two straight three-and-outs at the end of the second quarter, and quarterback Devin Mottet ran for a 31-yard touchdown on fourth-and-5 with 3:54 left in the half. Hurley pounded in another touchdown just before time expired.

Hurley ran in from four yards out for his third touchdown of the day, and the Spartans extended their shutout streak to 10 quarters.

“I looked at our guys, and I told them, ‘We’re not a one-man team, and you can’t be,’ ” Sycamore coach Joe Ryan said. “Next guy in has got to be ready to go, and I thought we did some really good things tonight.”

Streator running back Nick Harcar is swarmed under by a host of DeKalb defenders during in the first quarter of Friday night’s game in Streator. The Barbs won, 42-14, to improve to 3-2.

Barbs pile on Streator a 1-yard touchdown run to give the Barbs a 7-0 lead.

The defense forced a quick turnover when Rudy Lopez intercepted a tipped pass and returned it to the Streator 14-yard line. Dre Brown capitalized on the next play with a More online 14-yard run up the middle for a 14-0 Be sure to check out the video highlights DeKalb lead.

DeKalb jumps out to a 28-point halftime lead against 0-5 Bulldogs

By ROSS JACOBSON rjacobson@shawmedia.com STREATOR – The big plays that DeKalb’s offense consistently made against Ottawa last week didn’t come as easy Friday night against Streator on the road.

It didn’t matter.

DeKalb burst out to a 28-point halftime lead and won going away, 42-14, for its second straight win.

“The linemen were getting up to the linebackers, our other running backs were blocking for each other,” junior running back Eriq Torrey

handoff around left end and barrelled in for a 29-yard touchdown.

Brown added a 2-yard touchdown run early in the second quarter, and the Barbs carried a 28-0 lead into halftime.

Brown had another touchdown in the third quarter and Sauter found Lopez on a 9-yard fade for DeKalb’s final touchdown of the game.

A playoff berth is in sight for DeKalb after the relatively easy win over Streator, and the Barbs will be at home for three of their final four games of the regular season.

But the schedule ramps up quickly with a visit from undefeated Kaneland on Friday night.

“It’s going to be great. I’m pretty sure we’ll get that win,” Torrey said. “I’m fighting for it to get that win.”

Johnson, a 6-foot-3 guard who averaged 4.9 points a game and had six starts for the Boilermakers last year, is the second BCS transfer the Huskies will have in 2014-15.

Point guard Michael Orris transferred from Kansas State this past spring.

NIU also added DeKalb High product Jordan Threloff, who transferred from Illinois State.

The 6-9 center was granted the NCAA’s hardship waiver, and will be eligible to play this season.

BULLS TRAINING CAMP

MLB

Rose, returning from surgery, defends handling of comeback Understands Bulls fans’ frustrations

By ANDREW SELIGMAN The Associated Press DEERFIELD – Derrick Rose’s long-awaited return is just about complete.

The former MVP point guard was back wearing his familiar uniform No. 1, looking ready to lead the Bulls back to contention in the Eastern Conference after sitting out a season after knee surgery.

He said Friday at the team’s media day he understands why fans were frustrated he didn’t return last season, but he had to be careful.

“Of course, I would want my favorite player to be back out there,” Rose said. “At the same time, I have to be selfish with the idea. The thought of me injuring myself again, I don’t want to put myself in that position. I just tried to stay far away from it and just think everything through and stay positive.”

One big concern for him was his ability to handle double teams, particularly in the playoffs. He never felt ready to face them.

His confidence is not an issue now, though. He has said he sees no reason why he can’t dominate again, and he has no regrets about the way he handled his recovery.

Bulls guard Derrick Rose speaks during a news conference at the team’s media day Friday in Deerfield. Rose missed last season after tearing an ACL in a first-round playoff game in 2012.

He’s expected to suit up for the first time at Indiana on Oct. 5, and general manager Gar Forman anticipates him playing in every preseason game.

That hinges on how Rose feels, and the same goes for his minutes once the season starts.

“I think with Derrick, it’ll remain fluid as we go,” Forman said. “I think it’s difficult at this point to look ahead and say where his minutes will be two weeks from now, four weeks from now, whatever time frame you want to put on it. I think it’s something that from a medical standpoint, from a front-office standpoint, from a coaching standpoint that we’ll evaluate day to day.”

Forman said he expects some “ups and downs as we go” but has little doubt Rose will overcome them. He also said the decision not to play last season

“absolutely” was the right one.

Coach Tom Thibodeau called the criticism Rose absorbed unwarranted, saying he followed chairman Jerry Reinsdorf’s orders by taking a cautious approach.

“You talk about a guy who’s as loyal as they come to his family, to his teammates, to our organization, to the city – he’s already done a lot and will continue to do a lot,” Thibodeau said. “That’s who he is.

“When I look at it, when I look back and I’ve been thinking about it, he followed Jerry’s orders exactly. Jerry made it very clear from the beginning as to how he wanted him to approach it: to be cautious, to be cautious, make sure you’re completely healthy. He told him he didn’t want him to come back until he was 100 percent, and that’s ex-

actly what he did. And then, he got criticized for it.”

Rose tore the ACL in his left knee in Game 1 of the 2012 playoffs against Philadelphia, sending the top-seeded Bulls toward a first-round exit. His recovery became a running soap opera, particularly after he started practicing with the team in midseason.

The Bulls never publicly ruled out a return by Rose, and as injuries and illnesses to teammates mounted, his image took a hit. If he dominates again, that would go a long way toward repairing it.

The Bulls are aiming high after winning 45 games and a playoff series last season. With Rose, they believe they can challenge Miami for supremacy in the Eastern Conference. After all, they captured the NBA’s top seed the last two seasons he played.

Although his health figures to be scrutinized, particularly in the early going, it’s not the only story line.

There’s Joakim Noah’s plantar fasciitis in his foot, an issue for him two of his past three seasons.

There’s Luol Deng, coming off a season that ended with him in the hospital after complications from a spinal tap to test for viral meningitis. He has an expiring contract and likely will hit the market at the end of the season.

“I just have to go out there and do what I’ve been doing, just play basketball,” he said.

“We have a great opportunity ahead of us. Derrick is back. Everybody’s healthy. We love the makeup of the team. The potential is great.”

NO. 14 OKLAHOMA AT NO. 22 NOTRE DAME, 2:30 P.M. TODAY, NBC

Irish have owned series

SALE

ON NOW End of Year Pricing Now thru Sept. 30th!

By TOM COYNE The Associated Press SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops says revenge won’t be a factor when his 14th-ranked Sooners face No. 22 Notre Dame today.

Apparently, though, not all his players got the memo. At least a few Sooners say payback for a 30-13 loss last season, when the Irish scored 17 points in the final 6 minutes to turn a close game into a blowout to help Notre Dame get to the BCS title game, will be on their minds when the teams meet.

“I think revenge kind of goes into it,” fullback Trey Millard.

“It’s kind of just more so showing them that we can play just as good as them,” linebacker Corey Nelson said.

It might sound odd to hear the Sooners (3-0), who have had more success in recent years than the Irish (3-1), are the ones talking about having something to prove. Keep in mind, though, Notre Dame has dominated the Sooners, winning nine of the 10 games between two of college football’s most successful programs. The Irish have won under almost every circumstance.

The Sooners have lost when both teams finished 5-5 (1961), when the two finished with a combined 18-1-2 record in 1953, when Oklahoma was good at 8-3 and Notre Dame was mediocre at 5-5 (1962) – even when the Sooners had won consecutive national championships and were on an NCAA-record 47-game winning streak (1957).

The only time the Sooners won was during its 1956 national championship season, when Oklahoma traveled to South Bend and beat an Irish team that finished 2-8 by a score of 40-0 in what remains the most lopsided home loss

in Notre Dame Stadium history.

Stoops said history will have no bearing on today’s game.

“I can’t do anything for everybody else. I’d kind of like

to win for our team and for us,” Stoops said.

The victory last season at Oklahoma did more than make doubters believe in Notre Dame. It gave the Irish confidence.

“On offense, defense and special teams I think that was our best game,” cornerback Bennett Jackson said. “It was a huge kick for us.”

Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said the Irish believe they can do it again.

“They know that they can beat Oklahoma, but they know they’re going to have to play mistake free,” Kelly said.

Tommy Rees, starting for Notre Dame at quarterback because Everett Golson was suspended from school, is completing 56 percent of his passes, has a 138.1 efficiency rating and has passed for at least 300 yards in Notre Dame’s first three games. But he struggled with accuracy against Michigan State. Oklahoma’s Blake Bell, beaten out for the starter’s job by Trevor Knight, completed 27 of 37 passes for 413 yards and four touchdowns against Tulsa in his first start. Both teams are hoping for big games from their quarterbacks.

Old tube TVs dangle from every corner. It’s where players sneaked glances of the first quarter of the Vikings-Packers game while conducting postgame interviews last season.

The lockers are narrow and crowded together, and passing lanes can be at a premium. Yet Brian Urlacher found enough of an opening to brush past a glut of reporters who wondered whether he would wear No. 54 ever again for the franchise.

Nearby is a nothing-special room used for news conferences, where a lectern faces rows of folding chairs. That room is where Smith stood for what would be his final time as Bears coach, praising his players for their win against the Lions and hoping that his team’s 10 wins would be enough to secure a spot in the postseason.

Ten wins weren’t enough, of course. Six losses proved to be too many.

LAKE FOREST – Major Wright has tried to erase the memory of his last visit to Detroit.

“I don’t remember,” Wright said. “It’s a new year.”

Eric Weems remembers, though.

“It was real weird,” Weems said. “I’ve never had something like that happen before.”

Ditto for Anthony Walters, who recalled the surreal three hours that followed the Bears’ win against the Detroit Lions in last year’s regular season finale. The Bears’ game ended as the Minnesota Vikings’ game began, and Lovie Smith’s group needed a loss by Minnesota in order to advance to the playoffs for the second time in three seasons.

“On the bus, we learned that they won,” said Walters, whose teammates checked their phones for scoring updates during the short return flight and subsequent bus ride from O’Hare to Halas Hall. “It got pretty silent. It was a somber mood.”

A late field goal pushed the Vikings past the Green Bay Packers, thereby helping them edge the Bears for the sixth and final playoff berth in the NFC. In the days that followed, the Vikings prepared for the postseason while the Bears started their biggest overhaul in almost a decade as they replaced dozens of coaches and players.

Perhaps the Bears’ holdovers will think about their former colleagues when they

Trestman is calling the shots, and the Bears are 3-0.

This time around, the Bears can control their playoff future rather than rely on others.

“As a team, we don’t even look back to last year at all,” said Walters, a backup safety and special-teams contributor. “And even going into this game, that’s not something we’re concerned with. We have a one game at a time mentality.

“And really, if we handle our business this weekend, that will put us up two games in the division. That’s really what’s going on in the locker room, is control it that way.”

It’s a perspective that is both simple and important.

With a victory Sunday, the Bears could move to 4-0 while bumping the Lions to 2-2.

Meanwhile, the Packers (1-2) and Vikings (0-3) need to worry about reaching .500 before catching up to the Bears.

But divisional wins can be tough to come by, especially on the road.

“It’s very intense,” Wright said. “We all know each other.

It’s just basically [about] getting after it. We can’t hide anything because they know us. And we know them.”

Meanwhile, the rest of us are getting to know the latest version of the Bears.

“Guys are going [hard],” Wright said. “They’re buying into the system. That’s what I see, guys buying into the system. So we’re going to see where it goes.”

Unlike last season, it’s going past a trip to Detroit.

At 3-0, the Bears have control of the NFC North, have had their way with the Lions for the most part in recent years, and the week after the Lions they return to Soldier Field for what could prove to be their toughest test of the season, a potential battle of the undefeated with the New Orleans Saints.

The Bears trip to Detroit this Sunday has all the ingredients of the classic NFL trap game.

Matt Stafford is a Pro Bowl quarterback who, after a poor 2012, is playing at a very high level again. His 99.9 passer rating is 5½ points better than Jay Cutler. Both have six touchdown passes and Stafford has thrown two picks while Cutler has thrown three. Cutler has been slightly more accurate at a 67.3 percent completion rate to Stafford’s 63.6 percent, but the big difference is production.

Stafford has thrown for more than 100 yards a game more than Cutler with 1,020 passing yards to Cutler’s 693. Stafford is averaging 1.5 yards per pass more than Cutler, and Cutler has completed passes to just five different receivers while Stafford has found 11. The Lions offense’s multiple weapons make them much tougher to defend than the Bears.

Of course, Calvin Johnson is the man you fear the most, and he’s off to a nice start with 17 catches for 268 yards and three touchdowns. But he’s missed on 13 of the 30 balls Stafford’s

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush targeted him with.

Nate Burleson actually has two more catches than Megatron with 19 for 239 yards ,but he’ll be out after breaking his arm in a single-car accident this past Tuesday. Still, there are those nine other targets including wide receiver Ryan Broyles and tight end Brandon Pettigrew, both back from serious knee injuries that ended their 2012 campaigns, and rookie Joseph Fauria, who already has two touchdowns backing up Pettigrew.

A huge part of Stafford’s success is the Lions are finally getting production from their running backs. Reggie Bush had 30 rushes for 115 yards and seven catches for 145 yards and a touchdown in the Lions first two games. Joique Bell has been almost as good in relief of Bush with 34 carries and 119 rushing yards, three touchdowns rushing, and 14 catches for 177 yards.

Similar to the Bears, the Lions have three new starters on the offensive line and they’re also playing very well, ranking No. 1 in the NFL in fewest sacks allowed per pass. The Lions easily will be the stiffest test the Bears defense has faced.

Defense is where the Lions

are a bit sketchy, but not up front, where Ndamukong Suh and Nick Fairley are the best defensive tackle duo in the league.

Of course the Lions hope Suh won’t do anything stupid as he is want to, making him as big a liability as an asset.

Ezekiel “Ziggy” Ansah, the fifth choice overall in the 2013 draft, already has 2½ sacks, and an old friend, Izzy Idonije, along with Willie Young will all try to bring heat off the ends.

The back seven is where teams attack the Lions. While DeAndre Levy and Stephen Tulloch are two of the top three tacklers on the club, they are undersized at linebacker, and Martellus Bennett and Matt Forte could create some mismatches.

With Chris Houston on the corner and Louis Delmas and Glover Quin at the safeties, the Lions secondary is better but not great. What will play to their favor, though, is the Bears’ lack of weapons beyond Marshall, Jeffery, Forte and the Bennett boys, Martellus and Earl. No one else has caught a pass from Cutler.

Make no mistake – the Bears are the better of these two teams.

But if the Bears don’t bring their A game, they could wake up after 60 minutes without knowing what hit them.

BEARS NOTES

No bulletin-board material from Bears still have to say he’s questionable,” Trestman said, “but we’re reasonably optimistic that he’ll be playing.” Tillman was questionable last week as well and started against Pittsburgh, but couldn’t finish the game because of tightness in his groin. He has not missed a start since 2009.

Quick hits: Cornerback Sherrick McManis (quad) missed Friday’s practice and is doubtful for Sunday’s game in Detroit. … The Bears placed Henry Melton on injured reserve Friday and signed Landon Cohen.

The Bears won, 40-23.

“I don’t think there’s such thing as a rivalry in the NFL,” he said. “I think, as soon as you make something a rivalry, you make someone more important than the next. The Detroit Lions aren’t any more important than any other team. We have to play them and we have to compete against them on Sunday and they deserve our maximum respect.”

Questionable again: Bears cornerback Charles Tillman (knee/groin) had limited participation in Friday’s practice and is listed as questionable in the team’s injury report. “He worked today. Looked good. We’ll see how he feels tomorrow, but I would

Trestman: There are no rivalries in NFL

By KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@shawmedia.com LAKE FOREST – It would be an overstatement to call the lead-up to Sunday’s Bears-Lions game a “war of words,” but the Lions could have given the Bears some fodder to respond.

Coach Marc Trestman and his team wouldn’t bite, though.

“I don’t tell our players what to say or how to say it.

The only thing I ask them to do is to be mindful of the fact that their locker room is just like ours, their players are just like ours and they’re working just as hard, just like their coaches are,” the Bears coach said after Friday’s practice. “And we’re trying to do everything we can not only to respect them, but to respect the game.

So when we say things, we want to make sure it’s respectful of the game.”

Lions receiver Calvin Johnson told the media this week regarding the Bears, per the Lions’ website, “It’s easy to have a dislike for them. It’s not hard at all.”

Trestman was asked about Megatron’s words.

“I can’t answer the question because I can’t speak for Calvin Johnson. He’s a great player and I know when the whistle blows, he’s ready to play,” he said. “Everybody has the right to say what they want to say, but I’m indifferent about what is being said.”

Since improving on the field and having a feather-ruffling player such as Ndamukong Suh, the Lions have made this series more of a rivalry in some observers’ eyes, but not Trestman’s.

KANELAND 49, ROCHELLE 20

Cogs shut out Rockets Knights roll after halftime G-K posts first win over BC since 2010

MAPLE PARK – Kaneland quarterback Drew David romped into the Rochelle secondary when he wasn’t finding open receivers there.

Justin Diddell crashed into Hubs ballcarriers with no sight of a hole.

The second half of the Knights’ 49-20 victory against Rochelle on Friday sure made the first half look misleading. With its stranglehold on the Northern Illinois Big 12 East seemingly in peril in the conference opener, Kaneland responded with a second-half shutout while revving up its offense.

Kaneland stretched its regular-season winning streak to 33 games, a run that includes four victories against Ro-

By LUKE SRODULSKI sports@daily-chronicle.com GENOA – With the game already in hand midway through the fourth quarter, Will Beach came onto the field with the backups and took his first carry 70 yards for a touchdown.

It was that kind of game for Genoa-Kingston. The Cogs (3-2, 3-0 Big Northern East) came out on homecoming and routed Burlington Central (14, 1-2), 43-0, on Friday night.

The win was G-K’s first over Central since 2010.

G-K junior quarterback Griffin McNeal threw for 93 yards and two touchdowns, and senior running back Sal Lopez added 105 yards and three scores on the ground.

After an early score gave them momentum, the Cogs recovered a fumble, and McNeal hit senior Tyeler L’Huillier for a 20-yard touchdown strike on the next play.

“We came out here jacked,” McNeal said. “When you give this team adrenaline like that, we ride with it.”

With the lead in hand, the Cogs went to their ground game, which wore down the Rockets. G-K used eight different rushers and racked up 246 yards on the ground.

G-K kept pouring it on in the second half. Lopez and Beach each scored, and the defense continued to shut down Central.

When time ran out, the party was just getting started for the Cogs, who were swarmed by their orange-clad student section.

Although it is still early, the win leaves the Cogs op-

chelle (4-1, 0-1 NI Big 12 East).

For Rochelle, closing the gap hinged on a handful of factors, namely the offense’s ability to keep the Knights’ vaunted spread attack off the field.

Veteran Hubs coach Kevin Crandall, long a disciple of time-honored, Wing-T football, added a handful of other formations entering the season to maximize the talents of quarterback Angel Burciaga, running back Evan White and fullback Marquez Felix.

Yes, that was Rochelle far downfield in spots Friday, but a week of film study put Kaneland (5-0, 1-0) in position to stop it.

The Knights also heated up on offense, scoring 28 points after halftime.

Playing without left tackle Joe Komel (foot) for the sec-

ond successive game, a Kaneland running attack already missing running back Jesse Balluff (torn ACL) adjusted behind the rest of its burly front five.

The teams traded 90-plus yard kickoff returns for touchdowns in the first 32 seconds – Kaneland’s Dylan Nauert’s dash preceded White’s – before settling in with separate high-efficiency offenses.

Although the Hubs showed the overflow Peterson Field crowd a few variations on what they’re used to seeing, the Knights’ familiar bravado ultimately prevailed.

Facing the reality of a rare halftime deficit as time wound down on the second quarter, the Knights lined up for a second-down play from their own 34 with seven seconds to play.

OTTAWA – Hiawatha football coach Sean Donnelly outlined five things his team needed to do to upset highly touted Ottawa Marquette on Friday night.

One of them was to make “big, special plays.”

Trailing by a touchdown to the Crusaders early in the first quarter, Donnelly called for a reverse on a kickoff return in an attempt to get one of those big plays. However, the play backfired, with Allen Letterer fumbling after the handoff.

Marquette recovered and went up by two scores on the ensuing possession.

Hiawatha never recovered against the Crusaders, who improved to 5-0 overall and in Northeastern Athletic Conference play after a 48-7 win.

“We took our shot. Nobody had seen us run that all year.

We’ve always had it in our back pocket,” Donnelly said. “We tried to come out, and obviously you saw it was a major disaster, and, unfortunately, that broke one of our second things that we knew we had to do to win, which was don’t turn the ball over.

“And I think you saw, defensively, our kids all of the sudden, their heads were down for a good 10 minutes before they started to get re-energized.”

The Crusaders scored five first-half touchdowns, and most

of the second half was played with a running clock. Hiawatha (3-2, 3-2 NAC) got it’s lone score on a 10-yard touchdown pass from Mike Mercado to Brandon Phelps late in the fourth.

Donnelly knew Marquette’s running game out of the Wing-T offense would be tough to stop, and it was – the Crusaders ran for 237 yards, and four of their touchdowns came on the ground.

The Hawks also were missing five starters against the Crusaders, the lone unbeaten team in the NAC. “Our kids have played their tails off and done an unbelievable job with the adversity that they’ve had to deal with,” Donnelly said.

And Inez Caspi of Bellevue, Wash., sends to her son at Claremont McKenna College in California “articles on safety or drinking or use of cell phones,” along with columns about playing bridge, one of his favorite pastimes, and “an occasional comic strip, usually mocking moms.”

Some moms send condoms. Mary Kay Russell of the Chicago area has sent her three college-age sons “a Costco-sized box of prophylactics.”

Parents of kids at Baylor University, a Christian school in Texas, have different priorities: They hold parent meetings around the country to assemble care packages together, and they tuck Scripture verses in with the toothbrushes and snacks.

I

n the decade Sarah Tetley has worked with college students, she’s seen a change in care packages sent from home.

The box of homemade goodies “is something of a lost art,” says Tetley, director of the First Year Experience program at Webster University in St. Louis.

“And it’s sad, because there’s nothing like seeing a student get excited about a package from home.”

The change is partly because parents are more in touch with kids, thanks to cell phones, than they used to be: “They don’t send as many care packages because they just talked to them,” Tetley said.

But it’s also due to a rise in commercially prepared options – not just generic gift baskets, but care packages designed specifically for college kids. And those parents who do pack their own care packages are apt to skip homemade brownies in favor of laundry pods, and get their “ty” via text.

The premade care package GourmetGiftBaskets.com “started to see a trend emerge a few years ago” with more orders sent to campus addresses, according to spokesman Chuck Casto. So the New Hampshire-based company introduced products like the “Exam Cram Care Package,” which includes microwave popcorn, cookies, candy, chips and pretzels. They’ve sold thousands of them, with sales up 75 percent this year over last.

Many colleges also offer in-house care package programs. At Connecticut College, parents can order the $35 “Birthday Bash,” with a cake or cupcakes, or “Health Nut,” with fresh fruit, rice cakes and yogurt smoothies, $25. The packages are made in a dining hall for same-day pickup.

Minimus.biz also offers a “College Student Care Package of the Month,” with themed packages like the Dorm Laundry Kit and the Dorm Medicine Chest.

Andy Fortson, 27, co-founded CoedSupply. com after looking online for something to send to a brother in the Marines and a cousin at Penn State. “I was pretty appalled by the options,” he said. “They were overpriced and full of junk food.”

So he and a friend launched a hipper alternative last year with a monthly mix of healthfood snacks, personal care items (like Old

Premade care packages for college students offered by schools and by commercial gift-basket companies are replacing homemade care packages.

Spice or a new fragrance from Rihanna) and entertainment (such as CDs), ranging in price from $16.50 to $35 a month. “The response has been overwhelming,” Fortson said. “We’re already shipping to colleges in 45 states.”

Kelley Garland, a sophomore at Providence College in Rhode Island, saw a post about CoedSupply.com on her school’s Facebook page, asked her mom to sign her up, and says she loves “having that little surprise at the beginning of every month.”

From home, with love: Clippings, cookies and condoms Parents who do send care packages say socks, laundry pods (premeasured detergent packs) and cookies are staples. But they also say it’s not so much about sending necessities as it is a message of love, from home.

“There’s no way I can send him a copy of ‘I’ll Love You Forever,’ even though that is what I feel like reading right now,” joked Jill Troderman of Soquel, Calif., referring to the classic children’s book about parental devotion.

But she did send her son at the University

of Washington socks, a flannel throw and homemade chocolate-chip cookies. She figured he could share the cookies with friends since he’s a “bit of a health nut ... he doesn’t want to gain the freshman 15.” (For the record, researchers say it’s a myth that college students gain 15 pounds their first year – it’s more like three or five pounds.)

Laura Kessler tries to send monthly care packages to her two sons, but she “can’t bake to save her soul,” so instead sends things like Nutella and trinkets. Asked to name a favorite item from one of mom’s packages, son Brian Kessler, a sophomore at the University of Dayton, posted on Facebook, “Gonna have to go with Silly String.”

Dori Wile’s daughter was raised in Texas but is now getting a master’s degree at Chatham University in Pittsburgh, so she wants “anything unique to Texas.” Wile sends condiments from the regional Whataburger chain, Mexican spices, and pictures: “The kids today don’t print out photographs. This way they have something to put on their fridge.”

Twentieth-century college kids often received envelopes stuffed with newspaper clippings from home, but today’s parents

When it comes to saying thank-you for the effort, acknowledgements are often by text (“Thx” or “ty”) or pictures posted online.

“I’ve even seen a student taking a Vine using all the things inside the care package, saying ‘Look what my mom bought me!’” said Tetley, referring to the app for six-second videos.

Jackie Parker sent her daughter, a freshman at the University of Missouri at Columbia, a Starbucks gift card two weeks ago and was happy to get back, via text, “a picture of her drink and cake.”

Julie Davis sends her son Sam black-andwhite cookies – a New York City specialty – from a Manhattan bakery because it’s something he can’t get at the University of Colorado in Boulder. “The kids are so independent these days, they have access to everything, and it makes it harder to find something to send them,” she said. She knows he’s received the package when she gets his one-word text: “Amazing.”

Kate Sutherland posted a picture on Instagram and Facebook when her mom sent a “make-your-own party kit with princess stuff and decorations” for her 22nd birthday last spring – one of many care packages she received as a student at the University of Tennessee-Martin.

“My friends thought it was really neat – I think everyone got a little jealous,” Sutherland said. “You really don’t see the homemade care packages that much anymore because it’s so easy to get on the Internet and ship something.”

FAMILY TIME | Simple ways to optimize your mornings

Tip of the week Even the most chipper of morning people can sometimes wake up groggy and tired. And if their children wake up feeling the exact same way, mornings can definitely drag. There are, however, little things you can do – from scheduling exercise at optimal times, to packing protein into breakfast, to planning daily goals – that will make a big difference.

• Wake up and work out: Do you start your morning with a healthy dose of exercise? The time you begin your

workout matters more than you may think. A study shows that those who work out before eating in the morning burned approximately 20 percent more than those who wait until after breakfast.

• Make time for breakfast: Never skip breakfast – not only will that deplete your energy, but it can also negatively impact your health. In fact, recent studies show that those who opt out of breakfast time are at a 27 percent higher risk of having a heart attack. The same study also finds that those who eat breakfast are likely to be healthier eaters overall. This is especially important for children as they develop habits over time. So, help them establish a healthy breakfast habit early. If time is an issue, make breakfast a priority (and a convenience) by filling your pantry with quick, healthy low-fat options.

• Create a checklist: Think of your entire day as a series of small goals

8MILESTONES

and write them down in the morning or the night before. Then cross out tasks as you complete them. Not only will you reduce stress from having a better visual of your family’s day, you will feel more productive as you progress through your list.

• Shake up the morning: Get out that blender and toss in healthy foods.

Breakfast smoothies and shakes are a fast way to get the essential nutrients to jumpstart your day. Plus, they’re easy to pour, and they’re mobile – throw in a straw and sip while you walk. Recruit your children to help, and let them have fun mixing up their own tasty creation with fresh fruit like pineapple, banana and blueberries.

• Pause: Before you leave the house, take one minute to breathe. Feel good you ate breakfast and warmed up your body with exercise. And don’t forget to take your to-do list with you. You never know what opportunities the day will inspire.

legally. Unbeknownst to me, and likely most of the readers of this letter, it takes about two months for a fully eligible person to obtain such a license in the state of Illinois.

Surely the oppression such a wait time puts on small businesses throughout the state is obvious. A vibrant, busy, strong small business sector is the engine to job creation and a recovering economy. This situation is especially frustrating to me because it probably affects most of us, without ever knowing about it.

Rep. Pritchard was very helpful in encouraging our application to be approved in a timely manner through the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. We did get my associate’s license approved two months and one day after applying. I would hate to know how long the process would have taken without Rep. Pritchard’s help.

DeKalb coach worthy of praise To the Editor: Finally!!! In the season of team spirit and accolades for the sports minded, there is an honor bestowed on a coach who had made a real difference to our family and to our children’s high school experience. Mr. Greg Solomon has reached so many kids, including ours, who yearned for a different kind of camaraderie in high school; his room being the venue and his personality, the magnet.

We can attest that Mr. Solomon provided the mentoring needed for these kids to learn the skills of public speaking, the poise that it brings and the essential confidence to make them stand out in a college classroom and beyond.

Greg has given an amazing amount of his time and passion to those who were lucky enough to have been able and willing to take advantage of his being at DeKalb. We witnessed Greg’s guiding our team to stand out in competition and to stand out as a credit to their school and themselves.

One such instance, at an away competition, a teacher was decidely upset that her classroom was torn apart for the competition. At the conclusion of the event, our coach asked his team to work with her to put her classroom back as she needed. And they did. He expects great things, he gets them and they learn.

Thank you to the IHSA for deserved recognition of this outstanding person! Thank you to all who coach our students in the arts as well as sports! Go Barbs!

In-home flu shots available for seniors and the home bound Home Bound Healthcare of Sycamore will provide flu vaccines to people in the comfort of their homes again this year.

“Many frail, elderly or at-risk people have difficulty leaving home. This service will provide them with the protection they need without the tremendous difficulty they face getting out in the community,” Chris Welch, regional administrative consultant for Home Bound Healthcare, said in a news release. “This customer service offers people the flexibility to schedule the flu shot at their convenience.”

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends getting the vaccine as soon as it becomes available, because it takes the body about two weeks to build up immunity. The immunity will last throughout the entire flu season. Anyone older than 65, or younger than 65 with a disability that makes it difficult for them to leave home, is eligible to receive the flu shot in their home.

Home Bound Healthcare will offer this service at no out-of-pocket expense for those

with Medicare coverage. The cost of the flu vaccine for those without Medicare coverage will be $25.

This is the ninth year the company has provided shots via house call, and the response in past years has been very positive, Welch said.

“The response has been great from those who were aware of this service. Several people said it was a tremendous help to them because they have transportation issues or health problems that make it difficult – if not impossible – for them to leave home or go out in to the community and stand in line at one of the flu clinics,” he said in the release.

Home Bound also provides the vaccine in its office at 1625 Bethany Road, and can schedule flu shot clinics at community buildings, senior housing facilities, and with other organizations.

For more information, to make an appointment or to find out about other services offered by Home Bound, call 815-895-9898.

Italian winemaker embraces new technology Innovation has been a trend for six generations at Allegrini.

The Allegrini family pioneered grape growing on the Veneto hillsides in northeastern Italy. Centuries later the family-owned winery continued its trend. In 1998, Allegrini built an entire facility dedicated to drying harvested grapes properly.

It’s a massive innovation for a wine discovered by accident centuries ago.

UNCORKED James Nokes Winemaker spotlight Botrytis and mold are enemies of Amarone.

When grapes are set to dry for three to four months, it was once a challenge to prevent the onset of botrytis and mold. Now, the facility allows

Allegrini to dry grapes at a constant 50 percent humidty.

“We have conditions that are almost ideal to make Amarone every year,” owner and producer Marilisa Allegrini said. “We don’t compromise when it comes to making wine and our grapes now dry much better.”

Motivated by the opportunity to improve the final product, Allegrini has embraced new technology.

“Everybody was excited,”

said Allegrini, who answered the phone with a polite ‘Pronto’ greeting on Thursday when reached in Italy.

“That’s the miracle of the wine industry. We work the land and cellar. We also make our minds up to do things better. That’s what makes the job so fun and so exciting.”

Amarone predates the Roman Empire. According to legend, it was discovered by accident when Recioto grapes were allowed to ferment lon-

ger than usual turning all the sugar into alcohol.

It is an accident that the farmers and winemakers of the Valpolocella and Veneto regions have spent centuries perfecting. Located in the northeast corner of Italy, Allegrini’s hillsides and warm microclimate provide the indigenous varietals of Corvina, Rondinell and Molinara with ideal growing seasons.

“We look forward to the

future and maintain our integrity,” Allegrini said.

“Amarone is a very important wine with a rich history.

We want to continue to bring Amarone to consumers and keep our tradition alive.”

4-H urges no texting pledge DeKalb County 4-H members have joined more than 20,000 other 4-Hers across Illinois in a campaign to reduce car crashes caused by texting and driving. The “It Can Wait” campaign encourages drivers to take a pledge to never text while driving.

To make the pledge, text 4H4ICW to 50555.

Standard text and data rates apply.

“The members of Illinois 4-H are committed to make a difference in the ‘It Can Wait’ campaign,” Angie Barnard, executive director for the Illinois 4-H Foundation, said in a news release. “By encouraging people to take the pledge, we can help make our state safer and even save lives. We’re excited to spread the message through the state with our 23,000 club members in 1,250 4-H clubs. To take the

pledge, anyone can text 4H4ICW to 50555.”

More than 100,000 crashes a year involve drivers who are texting, according to the National Safety Council.

Illinois 4-H is joined by AT&T in the campaign. state Rep. Robert Pritchard, R-Hinckley, has thrown his support behind the effort.

“As phone texting becomes more and more popular as a means of communicating, texting while driving has led to increased accidents and deaths on our highways,” Pritchard said in the release. “It has been proven that those who read and send text messages while driving are 23 times more likely to be involved in a car accident.”

8ASTROGRAPH

By BERNICE BEDE OSOL Newspaper Enterprise Association

TODAY – Accept the inevitable with grace and aplomb in the year ahead.

Look out for your interests and let your intelligence lead the way. Old talents and skills will help you meet new demands. Rein in your emotions and get your budget under control.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – It won’t be easy dealing with emotional uncertainties. Be careful not to overreact; you may not be able to afford it. A relationship will need an adjustment if it’s going to work.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Book a trip or engage in something that inspires you. Awaken yourself to the many opportunities for rejuvenation and refreshment that surround you.

If you bring passion into your work life, success will result.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Say what you mean and do what you say.

If an endeavor requires physical risk, it would be best to openly disengage from it at the outset. If you commit to something, make sure that you can deliver.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Let the people you care about know what you are up to. Including loved ones in your plans will build strong bonds and help you attain your goals.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Expect delays and be prepared to find ways around whatever setback you encounter. Being adaptable will help you guard against negativity and complaints. Being passionate will improve your situation.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Plunge forward with optimism. Engage in events and activities that allow you to show off. Romance is in the stars, and socializing will lead to many new opportunities.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Don’t share your secrets. It’s best to get everything in order before you present your plans. Emotions will escalate regarding financial and domestic matters. Don’t tolerate a bully.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – It’s a good day to entertain or make special plans. Try something different and explore new places that interest you. Sharing with people you enjoy should take top priority.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – See what’s required at work and set your sights on the end results. Find ways to make your living quarters more entertaining or comfortable, but don’t buy what you cannot afford.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Enjoy getting out today. Take time to go to your local spa or a place that you find relaxing. Exploring your surroundings and experimenting with new possibilities will bring good results.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Don’t let anyone bully you into something that you don’t care to do. Pick and choose whom and what you pursue.

Keep your personal affairs private and avoid the backlash of a meddler.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – In a business or partnership involvement, size up what’s being offered and counter with something that you think is fair and feasible. You’ll impress someone you care for with your hard-nosed negotiations. Plan a romantic evening.

Teen must show parents she’s mature enough Dear Abby: I’m a 14-year-old girl who’s having a disagreement with my parents about dating. There’s this guy, “Connor,” who likes me, and I’m very comfortable with him. His older sister and I are good friends.

The trouble is, my parents have strict rules against dating and I think it’s unfair.

I think I’m mature enough to date, and I know right from wrong. My friends say I’m very mature for my age, and they approve of Connor because he’s friendly and has an outgoing personality. I have tried talking to my parents about this, but I always end up in tears.

Can you tell me how I can convince them to give this guy a chance? – Grown Up At 14, Prince George, Canada Dear Grown Up: A sure way to show your parents you’re mature enough to date would be to show them you’re a responsible person. Do they know when they ask you a question that they’ll get an honest answer with no evasion? Have you shown them that you respect their curfews? Do you do the chores that are expected of you without having to be reminded? Is the same true about your homework?

If the answer to these questions is yes, then do they KNOW Connor? Do they know his parents? If they do,

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips they might feel more comfortable about your seeing him, IF it’s in a group rather than one-on-one.

Dear Abby: I’m 13 years old and I recently enrolled in a new school. I have met two boys, “Jake” and “Cory,” and I have been crushing on both of them.

I really like Jake for everything, but I’m not sure he likes me back. I like Cory for his looks and popularity, and I’m positive he likes me because he said so. Should I ask Jake to go with me first, and if he says no, rebound to Cory? – Confused in Raymond, Miss.

Dear Confused: The school year has just started and it’s a little early to be asking someone to “go” with you.

If you take your time – say, wait a month – Jake may find the courage to tell you he likes you, too. If he doesn’t, tell Cory you’re interested in him and see if he still feels the same way about you. (The odds are 50/50.) And who knows? In another month, there might be a third guy.

Dear Abby: My brother thinks I eat too slow, and I think he eats too fast. He claims it’s rude to eat slow

and make others wait for you.

I say eating slowly is healthy, and it’s better than wolfing down your food to keep up with the people you’re with.

Who’s right? – At My Own Pace in Eddington, Maine

Dear At Your Own Pace: You’re both right. If you eat so slowly that the rest of the people at your table must wait for you to finish, ask them to proceed with their dessert and coffee so they won’t have to sit there and watch you masticate. And wolfing down one’s food causes some people to overeat, which is why weight-loss specialists advise against it.

Dear Abby: In response to the Aug. 13 letter from the adoptive mom in Indianapolis, we, too, are sometimes questioned about our son. I don’t find it at all offensive, and I encourage her to view it from a different perspective.

Just as mothers enjoy telling stories about their pregnancy and delivery, I relish talking about how our son came to be part of our family.

I have talked openly about it to strangers in front of my son since he was a toddler. I tell them how amazing it is that a mother could love her child so much that she would be willing to give him to us so he could have a better life than she could offer.

By not shying away from

the topic, my son has seen that his adoption doesn’t make us uncomfortable, and as a result, it’s something he is comfortable with. Our son is full of confidence because he knows how much joy he has brought to our lives. – Real Parent in Colorado Dear Real Parent: Thank you for writing. My office was flooded with comments from adoptive parents and adopted children, but not all of them were as positive as yours.

“Why do you need to know?” was frequently cited as a way to deflect unwelcome questions about why the biological parents placed the child for adoption, as was, “I’ll forgive you for asking that question if you forgive me for not answering.”

Many also prefer to say, “That is my child’s story and he’ll know it and share it when and if he thinks it is appropriate.” My favorite was, “We don’t discuss such intimacies. Have you told your children the details of THEIR conception?”

Readers, thank you all for sharing.

Dear Abby: I have been in an on-again-off-again, long-distance relationship with a guy for a year and a half. I have broken up with him and taken him back six times. It is always for the same reason: We are not compatible as a

romantic couple.

I have explained that we would be better as friends, but when I try to leave, he cries and begs me not to go. I’m afraid he could be suicidal, based on past reactions.

I love him as a friend and I want him to be with someone who can love him the way he wants to be loved. How do I let him down easy, if there is even such a thing? I’m afraid I might ruin his life.

I guess my question is, when you know in your gut that things won’t work out, when is it OK to throw in the towel? – Perplexed In Pensacola Dear Perplexed: After six breakups, your long-distance romance is well past its expiration date. When there is a lack of chemistry between a couple, it’s no one’s fault and it’s usually a deal-breaker. The problem with letting someone down the way you’re trying to is that it prolongs the pain, like removing a sliver halfway, then jamming it back in because the person is wincing.

Threats of suicide if a romance is unsuccessful are attempts to control the partner who wants to leave through guilt. The time to throw in that towel is NOW.

Blood pressure reading at ankle explains leg pain Dear Dr. K: I had some pain in my leg while exercising, and now my doctor wants to do an ankle-brachial index test. How is it done? And what will it tell him?

Dear Reader: Atherosclerosis stiffens and clogs our arteries. It attacks the coronary arteries that provide blood to the heart muscle and causes heart attacks. It also attacks the arteries of the brain, causing strokes.

Atherosclerosis also often affects the peripheral arteries of the legs. When we exercise our leg muscles, they can reach the point where we’re asking them to work harder than their blood supply allows. When that happens,

ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff they scream in pain.

The leg pain caused by atherosclerosis is usually felt in the calf, though sometimes it is felt in the thigh. Typically, the pain starts only after a person has been exercising his or her legs for a while.

That’s when the muscles suddenly are being asked to work harder than they can, because of their reduced blood supply.

When a person stops exercising, pain caused by atherosclerosis typically goes away over the next minute or two.

Of course, many different conditions can cause leg pain when we exercise. In particular, injuries to leg muscles or to the hip, knee, ankle or foot can cause exercise pain. Just from your symptoms alone, it can be hard to be sure what is causing leg pain when you exercise.

A key test for problems in peripheral arteries is the ankle-brachial index, or ABI. An ABI compares blood pressure readings from the ankle and the brachial artery, which is the major blood vessel in the upper arm. The test is done using a blood pressure cuff and an ultrasound probe.

Normally, blood pressure is similar whether it is

measured in the legs or in the arms. If blood pressure is lower in the legs, it usually means that fatty buildup inside the leg arteries is interfering with circulation.

The doctor will calculate your ABI by taking the highest pressure recorded at your ankle and dividing it by the highest pressure recorded at your arm. The normal range is between 0.90 and 1.30. A result under 0.90 means that blood is having a hard time getting to the legs and feet.

The lower the number, the higher the chances of leg pain while exercising or of limb-threatening low blood flow.

On the other end, an ABI

above 1.30 is usually a sign of stiff, calcium-encrusted arteries. These often occur in people with diabetes or chronic kidney disease.

The ABI also offers information about your general cardiovascular health. An ABI result under 0.90, for example, also indicates an increased risk of heart attack, stroke or dying of heart disease. That’s because people with severe atherosclerosis of the arteries of the leg usually also have atherosclerosis of the arteries of the heart and brain. I hope your test goes well and that the result is reassuring.

The DeKalb County Farm Bureau is requesting changes to the definitions of "agriculture" and "agribusiness" as set forth in the DeKalb County Zoning Ordinance. The Farm Bureau is also proposing a change to the list of permitted uses in the A-1, Agricultural District. The proposed changes would increase the number of activities that are considered to be part of agriculture and thus largely exempt from County zoning and building regulations. In order to change the Zoning Ordinance, the proposed Amendments must be approved by the County Board. Before the County Board can approve an Amendment, a public hearing must be held by the County Hearing Officer.

DEFENSE

1. Can the Huskies start the fight?

NIU coach Rod Carey said the team has a sign in the weight room with a slogan that says “start and finish the fight.”

The Huskies have been great in the second half this year, but slow starts will bite them sooner or later.

NIU needs to “start the fight” against Purdue.

4. Defensive pressure On the flip side, the Huskies have sacked the opposing quarterback 14 times. Defensive end Perez Ford (3.5 sacks) has provided some nice depth on the defensive line, and defensive tackle Anthony Wells is expected back today.

3. Can the Boilermakers get to Lynch?

NIU’s offensive line has been great this season, allowing only two sacks. Purdue has eight sacks this season, but five of them came against FCS Indiana State.

5. Who makes the big play?

When NIU goes up against a BCS team, it usually comes down to a big play here, a big play there. Against Purdue in 2009, NIU took advantage of Justin Anderson’s fake punt run in NIU’s own territory.

At Iowa, punter Tyler Wedel had the first-down run on a fake field goal, and Jimmie Ward had the key interception late in the fourth quarter. Against Kansas in 2011, it was the Jayhawks NIU safety Dechane that scored a touchdown Durante with nine seconds left.

GAMEDAY PREVIEW

Huskies looking for 2nd boneyard win this season

By STEVE NITZ DeKALB – Sean Evans was on the Ross-Ade Stadium sideline in 2009, witnessing first-hand one of the gutsiest calls anyone in attendance will ever see.

Evans, then a true freshman cornerback who would end up taking a redshirt year, watched as former coach Jerry Kill called a fake punt from NIU’s own 16-yard line.

It paid off, as running back Justin Anderson took a direct snap and ran 11 yards for a first down. The call helped the Huskies run out the clock and hang on for a 28-21 win over Purdue.

“We had belief. That’s one thing that we pride ourselves on. We believe in the system, we believe in the journey, and never do we flinch. That was a prime example then,” Evans said. “Nobody in the stadium knew what was going on, but we did. We had faith, and when it worked, that just added to the spark. That just kept us going and really got things rolling. That was probably one of the most exciting moments of my career here.”

Evans was one of four current Huskes to travel to West Lafayette four years ago, with the others being quarterback Jordan Lynch, offensive tackle Matt Krempel and defensive tackle Anthony Wells.

It was the first “boneyard victory” for the group. The team puts up a large dog bone in the locker room

Purdue has been in every one Central Michigan at N.C. State, 2:30 of its games at halftime, and NIU p.m.

Kent State at Western Michigan, 6 p.m. coach Rod Carey said he thinks the Boilermakers are better than their 1-3 record. Purdue has played two after each win over a BCS school, a Top 25 teams, and only lost to No. 22 Notre Dame by seven points tradition that started in 1983.

“I don’t believe in [record] with NIU would add wins over BCS schools in 2010 (Minnesota) and these guys. They could easily be 3-1 2012 (Kansas). This season started or even 4-0,” Carey said. “I mean, with another one of those bone- they’re right there.”
