LASTING EFFECTS Consequences of childhood obesity are wide-ranging

By CHRIS BURROWS news@daily-chronicle.com

and ERIC SCHELKOPF eschelkopf@shawmedia.com Like any parent, Michelle Long had always believed that her son Treysen could accomplish anything to which he applied himself.

But as the years wore on and high school approached, the Kingston mom noticed her 14-year-old son was starting to fall to the back of the pack during youth football practices. Because of his size, Treysen started to lose interest in sports and his confidence took some hits.

Michelle Long sought the guidance of a self-proclaimed “former fat guy,” Ray Binkowski of FitWorkz in DeKalb.

After months of training four days a week that started in January, Treysen saw gains that helped him in football, basketball and baseball.

“It was pretty intense,” Treysen Long said. “In the beginning I was nowhere near as in shape or as fast as I am now.”

His mom stopped inside the gym one day and was moved to tears by what she saw.

“It struck me to see him so proud of himself and so confident in himself and accomplishing things that I had always known that he could do,” Michelle Long said. “I just didn’t have the keys to help him get there.”

Long’s case is not unique. Many parents never were properly equipped to teach their children how to lead a healthy lifestyle in the face of a changing society.

That’s reflected in statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which show that obesity in the United States has more than doubled in

The clock is ticking for property owners who want to challenge their tax assessments in two DeKalb County townships.

Assessed values, which are used to calculate individual property tax bills, were published for Sycamore and Sandwich townships Sept. 18, while officials expect values for the rest of DeKalb County to be published soon. Property owners have 30 days from the publish date to appeal the assessed property value.

To determine if your assessment is accurate, the first step is to call your local township assessor, Chief County Assessment Officer Robin Brunschon said. This person will work with you to make sure the information about your property is correct and can show you similar properties in your neighborhood.

Sycamore Township Assessor Kevin Schnetzler said that if you have recently had your property appraised, or if you can find three similar homes that have assessed values lower that yours, he can make the change to avoid you having to file a formal appeal.

The form can be found on the county’s website at www.dekalbcounty.org. Then click on A-Z Index, Assessment Office, and Board of Review & Appeals. Bring up the Appeal Packet, select the type of appeal, then print and complete the form.

Police shoot, kill driver in chase on Capitol Hill

In 2010, more than a third of children and adolescents were considered overweight or obese.

A child with excess body fat is considered overweight or obese. Doctors take several factors into consideration – including weight, age, height and gender – to determine if a child fits one of those categories.

Obesity-related illnesses led New England Journal of Medicine researchers in 2005 to predict that despite advancements in medical technology, the current generation of children could have shorter lifespans than their parents. In addition to a damaged health outlook, those who deal with obesity in their youth face psychological scarring, and

can struggle to break bad habits their entire lives.

The body The issue of childhood obesity begins as a matter of physical well-being and sprawls in every direction.

It used to be that diabetes – a disease that contributed to about 230,000 deaths in 2007, according to the American Diabetes Association – was talked about in terms of “adult-onset” or “juvenile.”

That’s not the case anymore. Because of the obesity problem, physicians in the past two decades have seen an increase in the number of cases of Type 2 diabetes, or adult onset, in children.

The Associated Press WASHINGTON – A woman with a 1-year-old girl led Secret Service and police on a harrowing car chase from the White House past the Capitol on Thursday, attempting to penetrate the security barriers at both national landmarks before she was shot to death, police said. The child survived.

“I’m pretty confident this was not an accident,” said Metropolitan Police Chief Cathy Lanier. Still, Capitol Police said there appeared to be no terrorist link. Authorities would not say whether the woman had been armed.

Tourists, congressional staff and even some senators watched as a caravan of law enforcement vehicles chased a black Infiniti with Connecticut license plates down Constitution Avenue outside the Capitol. House and Senate lawmakers, inside debating how to end a government shutdown, briefly shuttered their chambers as Capitol Police shut down the building.

Children in the U.S. today face the possibility that they will live shorter lives than their parents.

Changes in American society, from increased portion sizes to foods with little nutritional value to technological devices of all kinds that discourage physical activity, have led to an estimated one-third of children and adolescents being

considered overweight or obese.

Learning about life from Louie Sometimes a situation becomes too ugly to ponder. For me, that happened Wednesday morning.

By then, a big part of the U.S. government had shut down because a small group of narcissistic thugs in the House of Representatives who don’t represent most of their party put America under their boot heel.

This group, numbering between a couple of dozen and 100, is the far-right fringe of Republican House members.

They’re mostly affiliated with the tea party. Certainly there are lots of tea partiers, but only a few are able to throw a wrench into the works of democratic governance.

Only 80 Republican lawmakers, for instance, signed a recent letter demanding that the GOP try to defund Obamacare. “[They] represent just 18 percent of the House and just a third of the two hundred and thirty-three House Republicans,” writes Ryan Lizza of The New Yorker.

These people think shutting down the government – costing the economy $300 million a day and causing immeasurable insecurity and uncertainty – is a workable game plan.

And many of their political bedfellows aren’t happy about what’s happening. “[The small group of hard-liners] have never followed any leadership plan, and now all of a sudden the leadership has adopted their plans and we’re fully implementing their

believe in Internet traffic, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates that 7 million people will use the exchanges to buy insurance this year.

But as I said, by Wednesday morning the political miasma was too much for me, and as the deadline for this column made that whooshing sound as it flew by, I realized there was only one thing to do: Talk about our new dog.

“Louie,” a large yellow Labrador mix, came into our lives Sunday. He originally hails from Arkansas. We adopted him through Casey’s Safe Haven, an Elburn-based organization that rescues animals.

Louie might be the most wonderful dog I’ve ever had. It’s like our family won the Super Powerball dog lottery.

A friend who volunteers for Casey’s traveled to Arkansas to rescue several animals. Louie wasn’t on her list to be rescued, but once our friend saw him, she couldn’t leave him behind.

Think about that.

The moral of this story is that a small group of selfless people did the right thing and put the needs of others above their own.

I wonder if there’s a lesson in that.

THE FINE LINE Jason Akst strategy and plan, which is I think is actually a lack of a strategy,” said Republican Rep. Devin Nunes of California.

John McCain – who seems fairly well known in the GOP – said last week that “In the United States Senate, we will not repeal or defund ‘Obamacare.’ We will not, and to think we can is not rational.”

As for We the People?

Recent, numerous, credible polls show that most Americans think a government shutdown to achieve political goals is unacceptable. One national CBS News/New York Times poll conducted last week (in English and Spanish, to landline and cellphone telephone numbers) put that number at 80 percent.

Team Obama is having a tough week, too. The online insurance marketplaces, a much ballyhooed feature of the Affordable Care Act, were a far-less-than-spectacular debut. Widespread technical glitches, long wait times, and overwhelmed call centers were more norm than anomaly during the first two days of operations.

The Internet traffic, ironically, shows how interested people are in the Affordable Care Act, but if you don’t

8 TODAY’S TALKER

Pension deal uncertain as veto session nears

By KERRY LESTER The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – As the Illinois Legislature prepares to reconvene this month, key Democrats tasked with helping solve the state’s crippling public pension problem are pushing a plan that would save $138 billion over 30 years, but also warning that continued partisan squabbling could scuttle any deal.

Senate President John Cullerton has thrown his support behind the plan, which would save considerably more than a previous Senate proposal but still offer a compromise to state employees that could help it pass legal muster. He and House Speaker Michael Madigan were recently briefed on the plan’s details after it was hashed out behind closed doors.

House Republicans, though, have made additional demands, including raising the retirement age for state workers from 55 and giving retirees the option of moving to a 401k-style plan in which workers have more control over how their money is invested and the state isn’t on the hook to pay a certain amount in benefits.

After four months of work, panel

leaders still are uncertain if they will have a plan ready for lawmakers’ annual fall veto session in Springfield Oct. 22.

“I think we’re so close that we just need to agree to a middle ground and be done,” said state Rep. Elaine Nekritz, a Northbrook Democrat and a leader of the pension negotiating committee.

“But I do also think it’s possible that it all breaks down possibly, too.”

Illinois’ five public-employee retirement funds have an unfunded liability of nearly $100 billion, due largely to lawmakers not approving adequate payments to the funds for years. The annual contribution to the fund, plus payments on past pension bonds, is about $7.65 billion this year. That takes crucial money away from schools and social services, and will only increase in years to come if without legislative action.

The bipartisan committee has been working on a solution since the Legislature adjourned in May without agreeing on a compromise.

At that time, the Senate and House backed different plans. The Senate plan would have saved $58 billion over 30 years and let employees choose which retirement benefits they wanted – an

element Cullerton described as necessary to withstand a court challenge.

The House plan would have saved $163 billion by reducing cost-of-living increases, raising the retirement age and increasing employee contributions.

The still-evolving $138.9 million plan includes reducing 3 percent annual compounded cost-of-living adjustments in retirement benefits to half of the rate of inflation. But it also would reduce employee contributions by one percent – a concession to state employees for other sacrifices.

Cullerton first announced his support of the plan to the (Springfield) State Journal-Register on Wednesday.

He told The Associated Press on Thursday that he thinks the current proposal is “less unconstitutional” than the House plan because of the considerations it makes for state employees.

“Of all the leaders, I’m the most interested in compromising,” he said.

Yet House Republicans do not think the proposal goes far enough. Two Republican panel members, Reps. Darlene Senger of Naperville and Jil Tracy of Quincy, updated their caucus on the plan two weeks ago via conference call, and that’s when the additional demands were made.

No ‘suckers’: United States threatens Iran with new sanctions

By BRADLEY KLAPPER and MATTHEW LEE The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The Obama administration said Thursday it would support tougher economic pressure on Iran if the Islamic republic doesn’t begin slowing the pace of its uranium enrichment activity and opening its stockpiles of nuclear material to greater inspection, and reassured its critics that the U.S. would not be played for “suckers” by the moderate tone of Iran’s new leader.

The chief U.S. nuclear negotiator told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that the administration could offer the Iranians some sanctions relief as “confidence-building” measures but that it would support new and tougher trade restrictions from Congress if diplomacy ultimately fails to ease concerns that Iran might be trying to develop nuclear weapons.

“I’m saying this” to Iran, said negotiator Wendy Sherman, who will meet with other world powers and Iran in Geneva in two weeks. “Come on the 15th of October with concrete, substantive actions that you will take, commitments you will make in a ver-

ifiable way, monitoring and verification that you will sign up to, to create some faith that there is reality to this, and our Congress will listen. But I can assure you, if you do not come on the 15th and 16th with that substantive plan that is real and verifiable, our

Congress will take action, and we will support them to do so.”

Speaking in Tokyo, Secretary of State John Kerry told reporters the U.S. would not be played for “suckers” by Iranian President Hassan Rouhani. Still, Kerry defended President Barack Obama’s recent engagement effort.

The Senate Banking Committee is expected to draft a new sanctions package later this month, mirroring legislation passed by the House in July that blacklists Iran’s mining and construction sectors and commits the United States to the goal of eliminating all Iranian petroleum sales worldwide by 2015. The administration had expressed concern about the sanctions undercutting Rouhani with hardliners in his own country or weakening the international consensus on Iran, given that China, Turkey, India and several other Asian countries still purchase oil from Tehran.

The event, put on by the Three Fires Council Boy Scouts of America, honored local individuals for heroic actions and/or exceptional, selfless community service.

5 honored at Tribute to Heroes event

By JIM DALLKE jdallke@shawmedia.com MALTA – There are plenty of characteristics that describe a hero. Among them are selfless devotion to others, a unrelenting work ethic, and a passion for change.

Another similar trait is that most heroes don’t actually think they are doing anything heroic.

Five individuals were honored Thursday night at the 11th annual DeKalb County Tribute to Heroes event, which was put on by the Three Fires Council Boy Scouts of America. Each honoree thanked the family, friends, and mentors who have affected their lives, and none spent much time highlighting their accomplishments.

• Born in the Philippines, Evelina Cichy has worked as a Kishwaukee College administrator for more than 36 years. She stays close to her roots by collecting used textbooks and delivering them to students in the Philippines.

She also raises funds for disaster recovery in her home country. Here in the U.S., Cichy works on Asian-American Heritage Month events at the college and has been the driving force behind he work done by the Hispanic Services Committee.

“These 40 years have taught me valuable lessons,” Cichy said to the crowd after receiving her award. “The most important one is to be

• Denise Curran was awarded the honor after her 18 years as a teacher and motivator in Hinckley, and as a guidance counselor at Clinton Rosette Middle School for 15 years. Curran has assisted countless numbers of struggling students, taking students who were failing and getting them to fulfill their graduation requirements. Currently, Curran is on the board of directors for the DeKalb County Hospice and serves as a homeless liaison and truancy officer to the county.

She would frequently tell her students who were less than enthusiastic about school, “The more math you

take, the more money you make.”

“I am truly humbled to be recognized with others who have given so much to the DeKalb County community,” Curran said, as she went on to explain the heroes in her own life.

• “When I think of heroes I think of people who have served in the armed forces,” said Dave Lindgren, the third honoree of the evening.

Lindgren has been an active volunteer in the Boy Scouts since 1991, and he has been a mentor to many young boys.

He is currently the district chairman of scouting in the county, and his duties are to make sure that all leaders are trained and strong programs are being offered to the scouts.

Schrader was also very active in the scouts, and he currently works with the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

“I found that throughout my life, I had to lean on a lot of people to get through life and to accomplish the things that I wanted to accomplish,” Schrader said, adding that he owed a lot of his community service to his family who were willing to support his throughout the years.

The final honoree, Michael Flora, is the president and CEO of Ben Gordon Center, which provides mental health and substance abuse services to DeKalb County.

He also founded the DeKalb Leadership Academy, which instills confidence and leadership skills in young people in DeKalb.

“Community leadership is not just about a one-person job,” Flora said. “The accomplishments of the Ben Gordon Center are a tribute to the heroes, the men and women who I’ve had a privilege to work beside. The heroes that seek recovery for their behavioral health care concerns each and every day.”

The honorees received an engraved plaque and an American flag as a symbol for their profound achievements, which they believe are just another day’s work.

SYCAMORE – A man accused of violating an order of protection against his wife five times since March will remain in jail unless he can post a $100,000 bond.

Glenn Ouellette, whose address is listed in court records as a Sycamore hotel, has been held on $500,000 bail after the most recent allegations surfaced Sept.

24. As DeKalb police were investigating allegations he called his estranged wife, they found recordings on his phone in which he fantasized about killing her, court records show.

Ouellette’s public defender, Charles Criswell, and prosecutors agreed to double his bail Thursday to $1 million, which would require posting a 10 percent bond to be released while the case is pending. Criswell said Ouellette couldn’t post the lower amount.

Judges previously reduced Ouellette’s bail to an amount he

could post and he was released on electronic home monitoring three times after allegedly violating the order of protection, court records show. He’s accused of going near his wife’s home, work and calling her.

After he was charged three times with violating the order of protection, Presiding Judge Robbin Stuckert required Ouellette to participate in electronic monitoring, court records show. The next day, Ouellette Glenn Ouellette went into prohibited areas seven times between 9:30 and 11:45 a.m.

April 10, court records show.

He told police he was hoping to catch a glimpse of her.

He was charged with aggravated stalking, a felony, but his bond was reduced April 16 to allow him to attend in-patient alcohol treatment in Aurora, court records show.

Physician clinic to anchor new center

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – Demolition of a former restaurant building is wrapping up to make way for a new commercial center across DeKalb Avenue from Kishwaukee Community Hospital.

The center, which is on the northeast corner of DeKalb Avenue and Gateway Drive, is scheduled to open in January, said Louis Schriber, CEO of the Shorewood Development Group, developer of the project.

Physicians Immediate Care will occupy 4,500 square feet of the building, he said. Company leaders chose the site partially because they have worked with health care services company in Cook and Kendall counties, he said.

Physicians Immediate Care is currently on the third floor of the American Midwest Bank building, near the intersection of DeKalb Avenue and Bethany Road. Cindy Donohoe, the company’s customer experience officer, said the new location will allow for larger waiting rooms and brighter space.

There’s also the potential to serve more patients. She said the current location serves about 30 to 60 patients a day.

“We’re excited about the new location as it allows us to build a brand new state-of-the-

art facility,” she said.

Donohoe said she doesn’t expect any disruption of services as Physicians Immediate Care moves to the new location. The transition should be easy for current patients as the new location is a quarter-mile away from the old one, she said.

The property was previously occupied by Za Za’s and Kish Corner Family Restaurant, but has been vacant since Kish Corner closed in December 2011.

The new, roughly 11,000-square-foot building will have other tenants as well, Schriber said.

“We’re actively marketing the property,” he said.

Sycamore City Manager Brian Gregory said city officials have been working with the company since City Council members approved a variance request in June. The request was to alter the setback requirements for the building and parking lot.

The total investment in the project is roughly $3.2 million, according to city records. The building would include three suites facing DeKalb Avenue.

“We’re glad to see the Shorewood Development Group has a long-term tenant to fill a good part of that space, and we’re confident they’ll bring other tenants to the area,” Gregory said.

SOMONAUK – A 36-year-old Somonauk area man accused of twice burglarizing his neighbor’s vehicles remained in DeKalb County jail Thursday with a $200,000 bond.

Michael Shaddix, of the 6100 block of Howison Road north of Somonauk, was charged with burglary and criminal damage to property. The most serious charge Shaddix faces, burglary, typically is punishable with be-

Chief Deputy Gary Dumdie said.

Shaddix was appointed a public defender Thursday and is next due in court Oct. 22.

Police are exploring whether Shaddix might have stolen other items to take to a resale shop outside the county, Dumdie said.

Those with information related to the case can call sheriff’s deputies at 815-895-2155.

“If others in the area have collectibles that have been stolen,” Dumdie said, “they can contact the sheriff’s office.”

Hietikko: Appeal process can seem daunting to new owners • ASSESSMENTS Continued from page A1 If the township assessor declines to change the assessment, the next step is to file an appeal with the Board of Review and Appeals. Forms should be mailed to the DeKalb County Assessment Office at 110 E. Sycamore St., Sycamore, IL 60178. Forms are also available inside the office.

DeKalb Township Assessor

John Hietikko acknowledged that the appeal process can seem daunting to new property owners, but he said his office is willing to assist owners through the appeal.

“Generally, we prefer them to come into the office as opposed to a phone call,” he said.

“We’ll pull their property record card and look for similar properties. I hate to say it, but there are a lot of people who just don’t like their assessment. There’s no reason for it.

They just don’t like it.”

In recent years, there have hundreds of assessment appeals in DeKalb County. Historically, appeals haven’t totaled more than 100 a year, but in 2011 there were a record 461 assessment appeals. In 2012, the number dropped slightly to 301, and Brunschon expects 2013 to be similar, if not to have slightly fewer.

Brunschon said the housing crisis in 2008 saw home values plummet and property

tax rates rise, and although those two measures aren’t a direct indicator of property assessments, it had many people up in arms about their property tax bills.

“Nobody anticipated something like this happening,” she said. “Investing in real estate was a good investment until all this happened in our county. There are some signs of improvement. I am optimistic. You can see more building going on. That will help, too.”

8STATE BRIEFS Rockford man guilty but mentally ill in slaying ROCKFORD – Jurors in Rockford have found a man guilty but mentally ill in his mother’s 2009 shooting death.

The verdict was reached Thursday against Franklin T. Byrd, who faced multiple counts of first-degree murder. Jurors started deliberating Wednesday evening. Authorities have said Byrd killed his 42-yearold mother Leslie Byrd at their home. The Rockford Register Star reports the woman was found with a dozen gunshot wounds and her abdomen was cut with a knife after she was already dead.

Byrd’s public defender, Margie O’Connor, said his paranoid mind was convinced his mother was trying to hurt him.

O’Connor said Byrd was

increasingly isolated and disturbed in the days before the slaying.

Lawsuit filed after CTA crash CHICAGO – A lawsuit has been filed over this week’s collision that injured dozens of passengers aboard a Chicago Transit Authority train.

The Chicago Sun-Times reports the lawsuit was filed by Kim Quatch, who’s seeking at least $50,000 in damages.

She was a passenger who was hurt on a Blue Line train that was rammed by an empty, unmanned train Monday in the Chicago suburb of Forest Park.

Video footage shows that no one was driving the fourcar train when it rumbled the wrong way and crashed into a parked train about 10 miles west of Chicago.

As many as four dozen

people were treated for minor injuries.

An investigation into what caused the crash is continuing.

The CTA declined to comment on the litigation.

Lanier: Police shot woman a block northeast of Capitol building • CHASE Continued from page A1 The woman’s car at one point had been surrounded by police cars and she managed to escape, careening around a traffic circle and past the north side of the Capitol. Video shot by a TV camerman showed police pointing firearms at her car before she rammed a Secret Service vehicle and continued driving.

Lanier said police shot and killed her a block northeast of the historic building.

One Secret Service member and a 23-year veteran of the Capitol Police were injured.

Officials said they are in good condition and expected to recover.

“This appears to be an isolated, singular matter, with, at this point, no nexus to terrorism,” said Capitol Police Chief

Kim Dine.

Authorities did not immediately identify the driver of the car.

Stamford, Conn., Mayor Michael Pavia said the FBI was executing a search warrant at a Stamford address in connection with the investigation. Police officers had cordoned off a condominium building and the surrounding neighborhood in the shoreline city.

The pursuit began when the car sped onto a driveway leading to the White House, over a set of lowered barricades.

When the driver couldn’t get through a second barrier, she spun the car in the opposite direction, flipping a Secret Service officer over the hood of the car as she sped away, said B.J. Campbell, a tourist from Portland, Ore. Then the chase began.

“The car was trying to

But it was going over the median and over the curb,” said Matthew Coursen, who was watching from a cab window when the Infiniti sped

by him. “The car got boxed in and that’s when I saw an officer of some kind draw his weapon and fire shots into the car.”

Police shot and killed the driver just outside the Hart Senate Office Building, where many senators have their offices. Dine said an officer took the child from the car to a hospital. She is in good condition under protective custody, officials said.

A few senators between the Capitol and their office buildings said they heard the shots.

“We heard three, four, five pops,” said Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa. Police ordered Casey and nearby tourists to crouch behind a car for protection, then hustled everyone into the Capitol.

Others witnessed the incident, too.

“There were multiple shots fired and the air was filled with gunpowder,” said Berin Szoka, whose office at a technology think tank overlooks the shooting scene.

Obesity can cause a number of immediate health problems • OBESITY Continued from page A1 The Type 2 form of the disease – in which the body does not correctly use or produce insulin – is usually diagnosed in those 40 years old or older, according to the CDC. “Type 2 diabetes is so prevalent among kids that we don’t call it adult-onset diabetes anymore,” said Elissa Bassler, CEO of the Illinois Public Health Institute. “It’s just Type 2 diabetes.”

That increase is troubling because medical professionals don’t know yet exactly the sort of complications brought on by living most of one’s life as a Type 2 diabetic.

“Everything that we think about with chronic diseases for adults – heart disease, diabetes, things like that – may occur even earlier with these kids,” said Beverly Henry, an associate professor of nutrition and dietetics at Northern Illinois University.

Overall, a third of children born in 2000 are expected to develop diabetes in their lifetimes, according to a May 2010 report from the White House Task Force on Childhood Obesity.

In addition to life-threatening diseases, obesity puts children at a greater risk for developing asthma, which can in turn encourage inactivity.

“You may be more prone to asthma attacks,” Henry said.

“Of course, if the asthma is not in good control, you may even be less likely to be physically active.”

HEALTH PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH OBESITY Obesity can cause immediate health problems as well as a number of serious chronic health conditions.

Some are more obvious, such as asthma or skin infections, while others are less obvious, such as high blood pressure.

It also can cause emotional and social health problems.

Physical health • Glucose intolerance and insulin

resistance • Type 2 diabetes • High blood pressure • High cholesterol • Hepatic steatosis (fatty liver disease) • Cholelithiasis (gallstones) • Sleep apnea • Asthma • Skin conditions • Menstrual abnormalities • Impaired balance

• Orthopedic problems Social health • Teasing and bullying • Negative stereotyping • Discrimination • Social marginalization Emotional health • Low self esteem • Negative body image • Depression

lem. As a college student, he turned to the cafeteria as an escape from the world.

“It was an all-you-can-eat buffet of all kinds of food, and I ate them – lots of them,” he said.

But his overeating, combined with a sedentary lifestyle, only fueled the cycle and gave him more reasons to hide.

That’s a tough reality for many children who deal with obesity.

Obesity – recently labeled a disease by the American Medical Association – can affect an individual’s self-esteem and make them a target for bullies, Henry said.

“Just think back to those grade-school years, all those body shape changes with puberty,” Henry said. “When kids are overweight, they mature earlier, but their psychological development is not going to mature earlier. So now the physical body changes are happening before the brain can kind of reason that this is just a part of growing up.”

It was a sudden realization that set Binkowski on a path The mind toward fitness and helping Binkowski knows plenty others to avoid the mistakes about the vicious cycle that he had made.

I had just bought a suit,” he said. “It didn’t fit. The pants were tailored to 36, and I didn’t have money to buy a new suit, and certainly I couldn’t make the pants bigger.”

Many years later, Binkowski, who has a mechanical engineering degree from NIU, owns FitWorkz, has written a book on how to eat healthy, and has two kids who motivate him to put others on the right path.

“I want people to avoid the lifestyle I had,” he said.

Nancy Prange, the director of the dietetic internship program at NIU, which supplies student-teachers to DeKalb County classrooms, said that teaching the reason behind positive health choices sets a base for children that can end

the cycle and extend to other areas of life.

“When they understand why it’s important for them to move and they can see and feel those body cues – their heart is beating and they’re sweaty – when they understand why they need to eat those fruits and vegetables,” she said. “It makes it easier to make those choices.”

The money

With rising health issues associated with obesity comes a rising cost.

It’s estimated that obese adults take on an extra $1,429 annually in medical expenses than adults who maintain a healthy weight, according to the 2010 White House report.

• Shaw Media reporter In Illinois, obesity costs Shawn Shinneman contributthe health care system $3.4 ed to this report.

billion annually, according to the Illinois Public Health Institute. Some experts believe that cost could skyrocket because of childhood obesity, climbing as high as $14 billion by 2018, according to the Illinois Public Health Institute.

Bob Topp, associate dean at Marquette’s College of Nursing who has extensively researched childhood obesity, said a major issue is that we aren’t finding viable solutions yet to obesity-related illnesses.

“One of the major problems is that the health care system doesn’t know how to treat it,” Topp said. “It isn’t well-attended by the common approaches to disease of surgery or medication. It’s a behavioral disease.”

That fact has set off efforts on many fronts. Schools, hospitals, nonprofits, health departments and other organizations have gotten in on trying to fix obesity from the ground up.

“Your weight is the result of two things, and only two things: caloric intake and caloric expenditure,” Topp said.

“The issue then is how do we affect what they put in their mouth and the activity they do.”

8LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Tea Party has no single agenda

because the Republican Party is not controlled by our agenda.

The Republican Party is controlled by its constituents. The people called their Republican representatives to ask that they take a certain course of action.

The Tea Party has no control of the Republican Party. We are like everyone else and we try to push the Republican agenda in a certain direction, just as we would do with all our elected officials.

Thanks to Grandlund’s cartoon, I would like to take this opportunity to mention our next meeting. On our agenda for Saturday is a discussion about “Common Core” curriculum in schools.

Our specialist and speaker on this topic is Bruno Behrend. We also will be having David Hale, a friend and candidate for U.S. Representative from Illinois’ 16th Congressional district, speak.

Hale will be talking about why he is running for Congress and he will be answering questions.

We will be at The Elks Lodge, 209 S. Annie Glidden Road in DeKalb at 10:30 a.m. Open to the public. If you are interested in this meeting or of you would like to find out more about the Tea Party, please attend. Thank You.

To the Editor: Regarding Dave Granlund’s editorial cartoon depiction of the Tea Party’s agenda going off a cliff while pulling the GOP behind it (page A5 in the Tuesday edition of the Daily Chronicle): I have been a member of the Tea Party since it’s inception.

Granlund’s political cartoon reminds me that The Tea Party is still influential. Why do I believe that? Because so much focus and criticism is given to the Tea Party by politicians and the media.

There are a couple of things wrong with Grandlund’s cartoon, though.

We don’t have a singular agenda.

The Tea Party is made up of thousands of groups spread across the United States. Each grass-roots group has its own leadership. Each group makes its own agenda. I am familiar with most of the leadership and groups in Illinois. My agenda with The Dekalb County Illinois Tea Party is not the same as Rockford Tea Party or Northern Illinois Tea Party.

We do communicate and share information and ideas. However, the people in my group may not have the same interest as the Dan McIntyre other Tea Parties.

Illinois’ brand of corporate welfare I’m getting oodles of press releases from Gov. Pat Quinn touting all the jobs he is bringing to – or “keeping” in – Illinois.

One thing politicians such as Quinn won’t tell you – unless you ask – is how much such endeavors are costing you, the taxpayer.

You see, the state of Illinois is paying companies to be here.

It’s a rather unseemly affair.

If Illinois isn’t attractive enough for businesses in its own right, the state has serious problems that need to be addressed.

Don’t get me wrong – there is nothing wrong with the Land of Lincoln putting its best foot forward and showing prospective suitors the advantages it has to offer: a central location, excellent transportation and a top-notch workforce.

But paying companies to locate here?

No way.

What we are talking about, folks, is the difference between courtship and – paid companionship.

Taxpayers are paying for the continued corporate friendship of the likes of Sears, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, Continental Tire, Motorola, Ford Motor Co. and many more.

Some of these deals happened under Quinn, others under past governors.

I don’t care if it was a Republican or Democrat who presided over these forays in

VIEWS Scott Reeder cronyism – they are just plain wrong.

Government should create a level playing field on which all businesses can compete.

But it shouldn’t be picking which businesses are winners and which will be losers.

One of the primary ways Illinois doles out incentives is through the EDGE tax credit, which funnels the income taxes paid by employees into their employer’s accounts rather than state coffers.

It’s a pretty sweet deal for the companies.

“Why do big corporations do things like this? Because they can,” said Greg LeRoy, executive director of the liberal Washington, D.C., think tank Good Jobs First.

“Companies like Archer Daniels Midland, Motorola or some foreign auto manufacturer are trophy companies that politicians like to point to and say they ‘brought’ to the state,” LeRoy said.

In fact, ADM is reportedly looking to move its corporate headquarters out of downstate Decatur to a larger city.

The Fortune 30 company is being wooed

by Quinn’s administration to relocate to

the Chicago area. Other states may be in play as well.

ADM, a food-processing and commodities-trading corporation which calls itself “The Supermarket to the World,” is shopping for the best corporate handout.

Last year, ADM’s revenues exceeded $80 billion.

By comparison, last year Illinois state government had total revenues of $68 billion.

So the state is looking at giving a handout to a company taking in more money than all of Illinois state government.

That’s an embarrassment.

ADM is a private corporation and can locate its top-100 executives wherever it pleases.

What Quinn – or any other state’s governor – does or doesn’t do will likely have very little influence on what ADM ultimately decides.

Instead of cutting sweetheart deals for big companies, Illinois would be better off working for a better climate for all businesses – not just a select few.

There is good news in the fight against breast cancer.

A new report from the American Cancer Society said death rates from breast cancer have dropped 34 percent since 1990 in the United States.

After skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer in U.S. women. Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women, exceeded only by lung cancer.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which began 29 years ago as a way to promote breast cancer awareness, share information about the disease, and provide greater access to screening services to women across the country.

Breast cancer, sadly, touches most Americans in some direct or indirect way.

For the record Some statistics from The American Cancer SociThe best way for a womety and BreastCancer.org: an to reduce the risk of • Breast cancer accounts dying from breast cancer for nearly one in three remains early detection, cancer cases diagnosed in through regular self-examwomen in the U.S. inations and scheduling • By the end of 2013, an annual mammograms after estimated 232,340 women the age of 40. will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer and an estimated 39,620 women will die from breast cancer.

• Almost eight of every 10 new breast cancer cases and almost nine of every 10 breast cancer deaths are in women 50 years old and older.

• White women get breast cancer at a higher rate than black women, but black women are more likely to get breast cancer before they are 40, and are more likely to die from it at any age.

The best way for a woman to reduce the risk of dying from breast cancer remains early detection, through regular self-examinations and scheduling annual mammograms after the age of 40.

Locally, many organizations are working to raise awareness and to comfort those diagnosed with breast cancer. One such group, Postively Pink Packages, works with KishHealth System and other sponsors to deliver care packages to women recently diagnosed with breast cancer. More information on the group is available online at www.PostivelyPinkPackages.org.

Please join us in supporting the fight against breast cancer this month. Let the women in your lives know how much you care about them.

8 ANOTHER VIEW

Warming alarmists push false premise If you think coming upticks in fuel taxes and water rates are alarming, then you won’t want the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change to have its way with your power bill.

The panel, overseen by the United Nations, on Friday released a report that says “it is extremely likely that human influence has been the dominant cause of the observed warming since the mid-20th century.” This is the IPCC’s fifth assessment report, and with the previous four, anyone who dares challenge its conclusions is castigated as a “denier.”

But pesky climate change skeptics persist. Last month, The Associated Press reports, the United States and several European governments tried to persuade the panel’s climate scientists to downplay or even delete evidence of the lack of global warming over the past 15 years, despite rapidly rising global greenhouse gas levels over that same period.

Why would those governments go to such measures? Because such information doesn’t fit the narrative the climate change lobby and their media allies have sold for more than two decades.

What the IPCC report – and the alarmism coming from the developed world – is really all about is killing off fossil fuel use despite its affordability and reliability. And as alarmist-in-chief Al Gore has proved, it’s also about the ever-encroaching thought police.

Last week, the former vice president said, “There needs to be a political price for climate [change] denial.” News flash: The First Amendment protects the free speech rights of Americans, especially political speech. Gore’s rhetoric shows climate change is less about science and more about politics; he’s saying global warming is a political cause.

And it already has brought great change to the United States. Carbon dioxide emissions – considered the key cause of global warming – are declining domestically.

Green energy already is driving power bills ever higher, thanks to government subsidies and mandates. Let the global market set the price of natural resources. Let the free market determine which fuels produce our electricity.

The global warming agenda is bad policy based on false premises, and the sooner elected officials stop bowing to climate change, the better off we’ll be.

Football games still on for service academies BALTIMORE – Football is on for Army, Navy and Air Force this weekend although some other service academy sports still are suspended because of the government shutdown.

The Defense Department said Thursday everything was on hold at Navy through Sunday except for Saturday’s football game against Air Force. According to Navy’s website, 19 events were either postponed or canceled Saturday and Sunday, including men’s and women’s soccer games, swim meets and a women’s volleyball match at home against Colgate.

Air Force has women’s volleyball and soccer matches scheduled for Saturday and Sunday that will be postponed.

Navy and Air Force received the go-ahead to play football because the game is not funded by the government. A sellout crowd is expected.

“We’re just grateful that the Department of Defense is allowing us to move forward,” Navy athletic director Chet Gladchuk said. “Speaking on behalf of the athletic department, the fans and the majority of Annapolis, this is a huge relief that we’re able to play.”

Army will play its game at Boston College, too.

“I’m thrilled our students and those from the service academies will get to play their games this weekend,” Boston College AD Brad Bates said. “Thank you, fans, for your patience and understanding the past couple of days.”

Army confirmed the announcement later Thursday, saying, “Based on a decision by the Department of Defense, Army’s football team will play at Boston College Saturday afternoon.”

It’s a small Huskie world True story.

Bob Heimerdinger and his wife were having a pleasant lunch with friends in scenic Lake Geneva this week. Most people in DeKalb and Sycamore remember “Heimer” for his long tenure as a coach and athletic director at DeKalb High School and as Northern Illinois University’s first Little All-America quarterback on the celebrated 9-0 football team in 1951.

The topic of conversation: Coach Rod Carey’s nationally ranked Huskies, naturally.

“Heimer’s” friend asked: “How good is this NIU team and the quarterback Jordan Lynch?”

“The Huskies are a great team,” Heimerdinger replied, beaming with Cardinal and Black pride, thanks to the 4-0 start that includes historic triumphs over two Big Ten

KORCEK’S CORNER Mike Korcek Conference programs. “And Jordan Lynch is a great quarterback, and a young man who truly loves playing the game of football.”

Out of the blue, from the next table, a voice concurred: “I have to agree on both counts.”

Surprised, “Heimer” turned around and looked. The voice belonged to George Bork, maybe still the ultimate NIU gridiron icon 50 years after his final collegiate snap and the Huskies’ 10-0 College Division national champions in 1963.

Two proud alums, two NIU Athletics Hall of Famers (both in the 1983 induction class), two of

the school’s greatest quarterbacks talking about a future Hall of Famer. Small Huskie world, isn’t it?

What better way to segue into the upcoming 2013 NIU Athletics Hall of Fame induction on Oct. 11.

As someone who was associated with the Hall of Fame for two decades and the former selection committee chair, my message reads the same. If you claim to bleed cardinal and black, be there. No excuses. Get off the couch. DVR the new episode of “Hawaii Five-O.” Stop blogging on “The Dog Pound” for a few hours. You can go to Fatty’s afterward.

It’s Homecoming – our 107th, by the way, and the 31st NIU Hall of Fame induction class since 1978.

Kaneland’s Chris Van Dinther (left) and DeKalb’s Akim Suraji go head to head for the ball in the first half of DeKalb’s 2-1 victory Thursday in Maple Park.

Barbs rally past Knights to stay unbeaten in Northern Illinois Big 12 East

By ANTHONY ZILIS sports@daily-chronicle.com MAPLE PARK – After the DeKalb boys soccer team beat Kaneland a few weeks ago, Knights coach Scott Parillo knew plenty of adjustments needed to be made for Thursday’s match against the Barbs.

DeKalb’s speed up top was too much to handle, and the

Knights needed to cut down on simple mistakes.

Kaneland’s adjustments worked for the first half Thursday, when the Knights took an early 1-0 lead, but DeKalb shifted into a different gear in the second and went on to win 2-1 on goals from Will Ferguson and Dylan Hottsmith.

“It wasn’t so much any adjustment in any Xs and Os or technical or tactical, it was a

complete adjustment in our mindset (in the second half),” DeKalb coach Brent McIntosh McIntosh said. “First half was a lot of Kaneland being better than us in a lot of intangible areas. The work rate, the effort, the 50/50 balls, it was all favoring Kaneland at that point in time. We know what we’re capable of physically, and it was a collective mindset that we came out and it was

very detrimental to us.”

The Knights controlled the match early, and they were rewarded eight minutes in when Arsim Azemi played a long, pinpoint pass into the penalty area for Tyler Siebert, who placed his shot into the lower corner to give Kaneland the early lead.

Kaneland (5-5-3, 2-2-2 Northern Illinois Big 12 East) held plenty of possession through-

out the half, but it couldn’t add insurance when the match was flowing its way. Finally, DeKalb (10-2, 6-0 NI Big 12 East) scored against the run of play with less than four minutes left in the first half, when Misha Rhyzhov found Will Ferguson in the penalty area, and Ferguson placed a shot past a scrum of defenders.

BEARS ANALYSIS

Trestman, Payton share close friendship When the 4-0 New Orleans Saints come to town Sunday, they will be bringing the most significant and difficult test to date of where Marc Trestman’s Bears are at and just how far they might be prepared to go.

In part, because of how good they are. In part, because he was there at the beginning as these Saints were engineered. And, in part, because he actually contributed to the success they’ve earned under coach Sean Payton.

“You know this is one of those weeks where there’s a handful of players and

coaches, but coaches specifically – Aaron and Marc – that I’ve had a chance to work with and know and have good friendships with,” Payton said.

The feeling is mutual.

It’s well documented Trestman hired his offensive coordinator and offensive line coach, Aaron Kromer, from Payton and this Saints team just eight months ago. In fact, Kromer was the interim head coach of the Saints for the first six games of 2012, when Payton was suspended for the season because of Bountygate.

“When he invited me to come down (to New Orleans), it was an opportunity to have some dignity in my career.

They learned it was all about multiple looks, using unique personnel and personnel groupings to create mismatches and a special type of offensive lineman and offensive line blocking.

“I know Aaron very well, we coached together in college at Miami of Ohio,” Payton said.

Quarterback Freeman released by Tampa Bay TAMPA, Fla. – Quarterback Josh Freeman was released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday, a week after being benched in favor of rookie Mike Glennon.

The winless Bucs made the latest move during their bye week after general manager Mark Dominik contacted every other team in the NFL in an unsuccessful attempt to trade Freeman, a 4,000-yard passer a year ago.

Coach Greg Schiano benched Freeman after the 25-year-old completed just 45.7 percent of his passes and posted a league-low quarterback rating of 59.3 through three games, all losses.

Freeman is owed the remaining $6.25 million on the contract he signed as a rookie in 2009.

Americans hang on to lead in Presidents Cup DUBLIN, Ohio – The Americans survived a late rally Thursday and put the International team in a familiar hole at the Presidents Cup. Steve Stricker blasted out of a plugged lie in the face of a bunker to 3 feet to save par as he and 20-year-old Jordan Spieth hung on for a 1-up win in the final match on the course at Muirfield Village.

That win gave the Americans a 3½-2½ lead, the fourth straight time they have led after the opening session in the Presidents Cup. The Americans led in every match early in the session and were ahead in five of them when thunderstorms and a few bursts of rain stopped play for 1½ hours. None of the matches had gone more than 10 holes, though the delay at least gave the International team a sense of starting over.

Cards pound Pirates

Blackhawks’ Brandon Bollig (52) fights with Washington Capitals’ Michal Cajkovsky (47) during the first period of an NHL preseason hockey game.

Steve Yzerman – told TSN that the league should take steps to eliminate fighting, particularly in light of the recent efforts to curtail head injuries and improve player safety. Hawks special advisor Scotty Bowman even tweeted his agreement.

And yes, in an ideal world, there would be no need for fighting in hockey. Penalties and suspensions would be a big enough deterrent to dirty play, and would be seen as sufficient punishment by the teammates of those who are cheap-shotted. But that’s not the world in which hockey players live. They were raised in a culture of The Code, and of “sticking up” for a teammate, and of “answering the bell” for your actions.

An NHLPA/CBC poll conducted in 2011-12 found that 98 percent of players were against banishing fighting. To players, fighting is as much a part of the game as faceoffs. It’s going to take generations, not a rule change, to get past that.

Yzerman’s concerns ring particularly hollow, given how glad he was to have legendary enforcer Bob Probert watching his back in Detroit. Yzerman rarely had to worry about being

touched, because Probert was always lurking. At the very least, opponents would think twice before taking a run at him.

“That’s where fighting comes in, where you want to stick up for your teammates and you want to have tough guys who protect you so you’re not getting run out of the building every night,” Patrick Kane said.

There’s no easy answer.

Yzerman proposed game-misconduct penalties (ejections) for all fights, but all that would do is embolden and encourage goons to try to goad star players into fights to take them out of the game. Full-blown suspensions for simple fights would effectively end fighting, but would lead to vigilante justice and more serious injuries.

What the NHL needs to do is get rid of the useless fights – the staged ones at face-offs, the forced ones during blowouts, the ones where all a guy is trying to do is wake up a sleepy bench or a bored crowd. Players and fans might like those, but they serve no real purpose. They police nothing, they solve nothing.

So do what the Ontario Hockey League did last year – create a quota system. Each player

in the OHL now is allowed 10 fights, with the 11th and each one thereafter earning a twogame suspension. This forces players to pick their spots.

Someone levels your teammate with a dirty hit? Fight him.

Trailing 6-0 at the end of a game and just want to send a message? Not worth it.

It worked. Last season, there were 482 fights in the OHL according to hockeyfights.com – down from 628 the year before.

Such a move could also help put an end to the one-dimensional goon once and for all, and start that slow, generational culture change that could eventually lead to a fight-free sport.

“The fighter that plays three or four minutes a game is over,” said Brandon Bollig, who has actively been trying to expand his game to become more than just a fighter. “You definitely have to be able to get around the ice. The game is obviously changing, that’s no secret. But there’s still a place in the game for fighting.”

Rose more confident, sees prepared team

Barbs take down 1A state champs

Chicago Sun-Times It’s probably a good sign that Derrick Rose is more worried about his upcoming phone conversation with his mother Brenda than anything to do with his rehabilitated leg.

While talking about his competitive nature after practice on Wednesday Rose said “it could be my mom on the court, she’s going to get killed. I could care less who.”

Rose was obviously joking, but it sounds like he’s dreading explaining that to his mom.

“I have to call her,” Rose said on Thursday. “She was probably up watching the news, I don’t know how the conversation is going to go but it should be interesting.”

Rose seems hungry for Saturday’s game in Indianapolis. Rarely has a former MVP had so much to prove to a city, and himself, in a preseason game. Rose said he hasn’t discussed with coach Tom Thibodeau how many minutes he’ll be playing, but Thibodeau has said he expects “starters to play starter minutes, bench guys to play bench minutes.”

“As long as I’m on court and playing this game I’ve been missing for a whole year it’s fine,” Rose said. “I’m just happy to step out there with my teammates again, being involved and feeling like a player.”

“It is a fresh start,” Rose said. “This is the biggest stage you can play on as a player and probably the biggest stage I’ll ever play on in my life. Me getting past this is just going to help my confidence and become better as a pro and a veteran for my

(Best-of-5; x-if necessary)

By MARK LAZERUS Two minutes into a Feb. 7 game in Phoenix, Blackhawks veteran Jamal Mayers leaned over the bench and started yelling at Raffi Torres, the man whose dirty, high hit had given Marian Hossa a severe concussion the previous spring.

Mayers was challenging Torres to a fight, and Torres quickly accepted. The two went at it, each landed a few decent right hands, and just like that – after nearly 10 months of stewing, of seething, of dreaming of vengeance – it was over.

In 17 seconds. The Hawks didn’t spend the rest of the game hounding Torres and delivering cheap shots, and Torres didn’t spend the rest of the game looking over his shoulder. The book had been closed on the Raffi Torres Incident for good.

Did the fight erase Hossa’s grueling, seven-month recovery? No. Did Torres suffer anything close to what Hossa did?

No. Did the fight accomplish anything?

Yes. It prevented a much worse, much more dangerous form of retaliation. Because while fighting is dumb, vigilante justice is a whole lot dumber. And that’s what players insist would happen if fighting is removed from hockey.

“I don’t think you can ever get rid of it,” Andrew Shaw said. “Then you’ve got guys running around doing whatever they want. … If you got rid of fighting, there would be more injuries in hockey.”

The long-simmering debate over fighting boiled over Tuesday night when Montreal’s George Parros knocked himself out by face-planting on the ice during a fight against Toronto’s Colton Orr. Parros was taken off on a stretcher and was fortunate to be diagnosed with only a concussion.

In the wake of the scary incident, a few general managers – including Pittsburgh’s Ray Shero, Carolina’s Jim Rutherford and Tampa Bay’s

team.”

Rose claims he’s more confident after the long layoff, says he’s a better shooter and that his basketball IQ has improved. After the serious injury it’s likely that most fans, and Bulls management, would happily settle for just plain old MVP-level Rose. But Rose, as he has every off-season, wants to showcase an improved version of himself.

“More efficient, someone that is going out there trying to control the whole game,” Rose said. “[Wants to have] low turnovers, while just trying to play aggressive as possible.”

Rose said his new teammates will have his back.

When he falls in practice, he says there are always two or three guys rushing to pick him up. Rose has been impressed that his teammates showed up for training camp in shape, which may not say a lot for last year’s squad.

“When I came in it surprised me, seeing guys in shape knocking down shots,” Rose said. “There are guys working out even after practice. It’s a totally different team than last year where you have guys that are really preparing themselves for a big year.”

The one physical issue Rose is concerned with is stamina.

“Just getting my wind,” Rose said. “I haven’t played in a long time. You can run, condition yourself as much as possible but it’s not like going out there and playing the games. Practice is different. Thibs will stop here and there if he sees anything. In the games there is none of that it’s the referees and you are actually out there playing.”

DAILY CHRONICLE The DeKalb girls volleyball team topped the defending Class 1A state champion Keith Country Day, 25-23, 25-20, on Thursday at home.

Courtney Bemis led the Barbs with seven kills, Madison Lord had 14 assists and Courtney Wagner added three blocks in the victory.

Angelina Ye and Alexa Farris won easily in straight sets in their singles matches. Dani Johnson and Jackie Cole rallied for a 6-3, 4-6, (10-5) win for Sycamore at No. 2 doubles.

“Jackie Cole and Dani, they came back after losing that second set, but they played really well in the tiebreaker,” Sycamore coach Dave Hillmer said.

GIRLS GOLF H-BR edges IC: Hinckley-Big Rock beat Indian Creek, 201208, at Indian Oaks.

Indian Creek’s Lauren Francis and Delaney Bend and H-BR’s Kim Weissinger shared medalist honors with 48s.

ST. LOUIS (AP) – Carlos Beltran’s three-run homer sparked a seven-run third inning and the St. Louis Cardinals got seven stingy innings from Adam Wainwright, delivering a reality jolt to the Pittsburgh Pirates with a 9-1 rout Thursday in their NL division series opener.

The first eight Cardinals reached safely in the third to chase A.J. Burnett, putting Game 1 out of reach early.

SPOTLIGHT ON...

MAGGIE RUSSELL DeKalb sophomore In a playoff tuneup, Russell fired a second-place 88 in the Northern Illinois Big 12 Invitational at Fairways Golf Course on Tuesday in Rochelle. Her quest to become a two-time sectional qualifier starts Wednesday in the IHSA Class 2A Burlington Central Regional at Sycamore Golf Club.

“She’s developed a passion for the game,” DeKalb coach John Cordes said. “It’s one of the most fulfilling things to see as a coach.”

WHAT TO WATCH Class 1A-3A Regionals The postseason starts as the boys teams will compete in regional play on Tuesday while the girls teams will follow on Wednesday. Those advancing to sectionals will play again on Saturday or early next week.

GOLF NOTEBOOK

Russell seeks postseason success Northern Illinois Big 12 Invitational.

The Barbs fired off two 77s and two 79s.

They posted a hearty 312. yet finished second to Yorkville. Two Foxes finished under par, and a team total of 308 was good enough to dethrone two-time champion Kaneland and land DeKalb in second place.

Barbs happy with NI Big 12 showing

H-BR goes mental A DVD and bag of candy was all Hinckley-Big Rock girls coach Greg Jourdan needed for practice Wednesday.

The Royals sat in Jourdan’s classroom, opened a bag of Smarties and watched Tom Watson’s Lessons of a Lifetime instructional DVD. “We had a virtual practice,” Jourdan said.

“We want positive thoughts in our head for regionals. ... We want to be tension-free so we can make solid putting strokes and good swings.”

Even with a stiff 18-hole test on tap in the Class 1A Westminster Regional on Wednesday at the Golf Club of Illinois, Jourdan said the Royals have ben provided with the necessary shots to handle themselves well.

“I’m comfortable with the group,” said Jourdan, who added that 2012 sectional qualifier Caitlyn Fecht is doing everything possible to get back to full health for the regional.

“We have high expectations and know we can make a good run. GCI is a battle of attrition.

We are going to hold on and do all we can.

Double bogeys won’t always hurt you on that course. We’ve just got to grind it out and stay positive.”

Let players, not course, determine scores

POWER RANKINGS 1. Matt Yonkovich, sr., Kaneland 2. Jacob Cook, jr., DeKalb 3. Austin Freeman, fr., DeKalb 4. Ryan Aurand, sr., Sycamore 5. Brody Kuhar, sr. Kaneland 6. Connor Hoyle, so., DeKalb 7.

The protection of par is an outdated concept.

In the Class A Westminster Regional on Wednesday, the antiquated practice could be put to the test.

Hosted by the Golf Club of Illinois, previous regional scores at the links-style course in Algonquin have soared.

This isn’t a critique of the course. GCI has it all.

Firm fairways, smartly

VIEWS James Nokes placed bunker complexes to protect some of the finest greens in the area, a solid mix of long and short holes to test every club in your golf bag and an emphasis on fairness when it comes to shot value; a missed fairway

isn’t a disaster at GCI. But, if the course is set up with pins tucked on the edge of greens with limited access for players, the rough is up and the wind blowing, scores will soar.

If the goal is to determine the best players, pins should be accessible.

Let players’ shot making determine the outcome of the regional, not the ability of the

course staff to find the most challenging pin location.

GCI is one of my favorite courses to play.

Hopefully, the girls in the Westminster Regional have a chance to score and enjoy all of its challenges.

MLB PLAYOFFS

Rookies on the spot in baseball postseason

By NOAH TRISTER The Associated Press The Los Angeles Dodgers were floundering before outfielder Yasiel Puig arrived. Jose Iglesias helped the Detroit Tigers move forward when their starting shortstop was suspended.

The Atlanta Braves? They owe part of their success to Evan Gattis and Julio Teheran, two players in their first full seasons in the major leagues.

There are now eight teams remaining in baseball’s postseason, and almost all of them have at least one key rookie who will soon be on the spot. These players have earned the confidence of their managers, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be growing pains along the way, now that the stakes are higher.

“Everybody, whether you’ve played 100 years or you’re a rookie, there’s always a little anxiety when you get to postseason play.

It’s like teams playing in the Super Bowl,” Detroit manager Jim Leyland said. “I don’t care how long they’ve played, there’s a difference.

It’s good to be a little nervous, but it’s bad to be scared. They’re two different things. It’s a great experience, and for rookies, everybody’s got to go through it at some point.”

The American League playoffs opened Wednesday night with a rookie on the mound, when Cleveland’s Danny Salazar struck out three of the first four hitters he faced. The Indians lost 4-0 to Tampa Bay, meaning Rays outfielder Wil Myers will have a chance to play on. He hit .293 in 88 games this year, making a push for the AL Rookie of the Year award.

There are rookie pitchers, such as Teheran, Gerrit Cole of Pittsburgh, Shelby Miller of St. Louis and Sonny Gray of Oakland. And the hitters aren’t bad, either. Gattis and Iglesias

Los Angeles Dodgers right fielder Yasiel Puig warms up for batting practice Wednesday in Atlanta. Puig hit .319 with 19 home runs in 104 games with the Dodgers during the regular season. have been impressive all year, and Puig’s first few weeks with the Dodgers were spectacular, helping Los Angeles overcome a poor start to the season.

“He’s been a real key for this club, just from the energy level and the clutch hits he’s been getting and the fun he has in the clubhouse,” Los Angeles outfielder Carl Crawford said. “So he’s definitely a guy that gets the team going every day, and we all feed off of that.”

Puig hit .319 with 19 home runs in 104 games, but at times, his aggressiveness led to mistakes like overthrowing cutoff men, getting thrown out going for an extra base or getting picked off after taking too big a lead at first base.

“He’s definitely going to have to watch that,” Crawford said. “Baserunners are at a premium in the playoffs, so you don’t want to get picked off in a situation where you can’t afford to.”

The last rookie to win a World Series or

championship series MVP award was righthander Livan Hernandez, who won both for Florida in 1997. The only other rookie to win a World Series MVP was Larry Sherry of the Dodgers in 1959, according to STATS. Will any of this year’s young standouts have that type of impact? Iglesias was an unexpected addition to Detroit’s roster shortly before the trade deadline. The Tigers acquired him from Boston – another eventual playoff team – because Jhonny Peralta was on the verge of being suspended as part of baseball’s drug investigation. Peralta is back and part of the postseason roster, but he’ll likely play in the outfield. The smooth-fielding Iglesias is Detroit’s everyday shortstop now.

The Tigers face Oakland in the division series. In Game 2 on Saturday night, the Athletics will send the 23-year-old Gray to the mound. He made his debut in July and went 5-3 with a 2.67 ERA. “It’s been so much fun and I feel like I’ve learned so much since I’ve been here,” Gray said. “It’s fun to win, to come here and win.”

The A’s also plan to start rookie Dan Straily in Game 4, if necessary.

Cole, the No. 1 pick in the draft in 2011, went 10-7 with a 3.22 ERA this season. He’ll start Game 2 of the division series against St. Louis. The Cardinals had a couple impressive rookies in their rotation this year in Miller and Michael Wacha, although it’s not yet clear if they’ll start during this series.

Rookie first baseman Matt Adams will surely be in the mix after hitting 17 homers for St. Louis.

Miller, who went 15-9, already feels he’s come a long way since the beginning of the year.

HOF inductions provide chance to meet Huskies all-time greats • KORCEK Continued from page B1 The 2013 NIU Hall of Fame inductee roll call: Mick Coyne (men’s swimming, 1998-2001), Ryan Diem (football, 19972000), Denise Dove (women’s basketball, 1987-91), Sue Henrichsen (women’s swimming, 1979-83), Dan Jaques (men’s track and field, 1969-73), Joe Novak (football coach, 198083, 1996-2007), Walt Owens (baseball, basketball coach, mentor, 1973-2007) and the 1991 women’s gymnastics team. Congratulations to all.

One of my best friends calls the NIU Hall of Fame induction his “social event of the year” and arranges his calendar accordingly. Many would agree. The 2013 ceremony resembles a “Who’s Who” of our NIU past.

Surely, most of the Huskie Nation would recognize these previous Hall of Famers who

have RSVP’d and will grace the induction ceremony’s red carpet in the Duke Ellington Ballroom at NIU’s Holmes Student Center.

Do you think Bill Baker, Tom Beck, Mary Bell, Bork, Rodney Davis, Roger Dutton, Lisa Foss, Cary Groth, Heimerdinger, Tammy Hinchee, Jerry Ippoliti, Mark Kellar, Al Kranz, Bill Mallory, Dave Petzke, Vince Scott, Jim Smith, George Tyms and Tim Tyrrell provide enough collective NIU endorphin memory rushes?

Elite group, indeed. Anybody notice that the only four NIU student-athletes in the football program’s 111-year history whose jerseys (as opposed to numbers) have been retired – split end Petzke (No. 6), Bork (No. 11), Heimerdinger (No. 12) and fullback Kellar (No. 31) – will be all in the same room? Or two College Football Hall of Famers (Bork and Beck)? Small Huskie

world.

In my eyes, it is no coincidence Petzke and Lynch share that NIU No. 6. On the field, both represent the epitome of mid-major overachievers. At 6-foot-1, 180 pounds, the hard-working Petzke not only led the NCAA Division I-A in receiving (91 catches for 1,215 yards and 11 touchdowns in 1978), but disciplined pass routes, as well.

“People come to see David Petzke play and catch the football,” former Huskies coach Pat Culpepper said in the day. “It’s like going to see Frank Sinatra in concert, you’re not going to hear the piano player.”

Petzke recognizes his good fortune and NIU ties.

“To be honest, I feel very grateful for my experience there,” said Petzke, now a senior VP in investment management for American Funds in Boulder, Colo. “There’s nothing like the college

athletic experience. And, for me, to be in the NIU Hall of Fame, it means a great deal to me. Not everyone has that opportunity.

“In my business, I travel all around the country and speak at many events. When they introduce me as being a Northern Illinois graduate, everyone knows who that is now – mainly because of our success in football the last decade. I’m extremely proud of that.

“I can’t wait to see Joe [Novak] honored,” said Petzke, who served with Novak on Mallory’s 1983 California Bowl staff. “When you think about where we (NIU) are now, it all started with Joe. What he did was so special.”

Not to digress, but so are all the NIU Hall of Famers.

Eighty-something Heimerdinger is usually a fixture at the Hall of Fame ceremonies.

“It’s an evening of family, celebration and achievement. That is important,” Heimerdinger reflected. “The most meaningful to me was when our (1951) team made it (in 1991). So many guys contributed to our success. What people forget is that we had a great defense, and that’s why we’re undefeated.

“I do enjoy seeing the younger inductees,” “Heimer” added. “It’s a oncein-a-lifetime honor.”

In addition to the introduction of past inductees and the latest ones, the 2013 NIU Athletics Hall of Fame induction ceremony features an anniversary tribute video of the 1963, 1983 and 2003 football teams narrated by Emmy award-winning NBC sportscaster Bob Costas (yes, that Bob Costas), a special “halftime,” and a few more surprises in an ESPYs-type format. Members of all three football teams will be in

attendance and also honored at halftime of the Oct. 12 NIU-Akron football game.

The Hall of Fame reception with a cash bar (5:30 to 6:45 p.m. in the Capitol Room) and induction ceremony (7 to 9 p.m.) is open to the public. You can reserve complimentary tickets (yes, they’re free of charge) by calling Amy Schmidt in NIU Athletics Development at 815753-1923. All guests must have tickets.

Come to the induction and rub elbows with some real Huskies. Small world, isn’t it?

Fearless Korcek prediction: Northern Illinois 42, Kent State 31.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill (left) is sacked by New Orleans Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan in the second half of Monday night’s game in New Orleans. Jordan has four sacks this season.

LAKE FOREST – Unfortunately for a Bears offense looking to get back on track in Week 5, this isn’t your 2012 Saints defense.

A year after breaking the wrong kind of records on defense (most yards allowed in NFL history), the Saints’ defense is sixth in the league in total defense, fifth against the pass and fifth in points allowed.

“That defense that we’re about to see is nothing like the defense that we started with that we played last year,” said Bears offensive coordinator Aaron Kromer, who was with the Saints the previous five seasons.

Rob Ryan helped transition the defense to a 3-4, which has been great for Cameron Jordan, who has four sacks and seven quarterback hits through four games.

“Jordan is playing a position where he’s rushing in the

• ARKUSH Continued from page B1 “The thing Aaron brought to us was real good, consistent play up front. He developed our linemen. You know he was part of our winning a Super Bowl as our offensive line coach and was someone that was real passionate about the game,” Payton continued.

“Aaron’s a unique package of a very, very good communicator, he’s a quick–minded football kind of guy who understands the real detailed technical kind of things that go on with playing the offen-

sive line,” Trestman said.

“And he has the ability to communicate that.”

What Payton has that Trestman and Kromer don’t is a future Hall of Fame quarterback in Drew Brees and two unique weapons in Jimmy Graham and Darren Sproles to create those matchup nightmares.

Trestman doesn’t hide his envy of Graham.

“He’s hard to stop,” Trestman said. “There are matchup issues there, obviously. We’re in the first year with a player with that kind of size and length in Martellus (Bennett).

They’re ... three years into it with Jimmy, so they’re more

evolved in their offense. He’s a force, there’s no doubt about it.”

Regardless of the outcome Sunday, the meeting for these coaches will have to be bittersweet. Close friends and respected colleagues will meet for 60 minutes across the field, each hoping to bludgeon the other in defeat.

Then they will meet at midfield afterward and embrace, each offering the other thanks for helping to get him there.

Barbs control match in 2nd half • SOCCER Continued from page B1 In the second half, DeKalb began to control the match, but quality chances still were difficult to come by before senior Sean Woodford hit the post on a shot from outside the penalty area with 9:30 left.

The Barbs finally broke through a minute later, when Brandon Canaday played a long ball into the penalty area, and Hottsmith’s leaping flickon header found the back of

the net.

“The second half was definitely our game. We just got lucky at the end of the first half to come away with the goal,” Hottsmith said. “Instead of just trying to knock balls over the top with our speed, we possessed it a little bit more, and we do play a lot just hit and run because it was there, but when it wasn’t there, we did a good job of possessing and trying to get up the field more.”

Thursday marked the start of the second half of the NI Big 12 East season, and the Barbs

know they have a target on their backs after sweeping through each of the conference teams in the first half. Saturday’s test showed them how difficult the stretch run will be.

“I feel great about [the conference season] so far,” Woodford said. “This game was definitely a game we needed to show its not going to be easy.

Teams are getting used to us, but it’ll be a great second half, I feel like we’re going to finish off the season stronger.”

bit and it is a good question because they’ve got a lot of solid players,” Trestman said when asked if there is one Saints defender who is a focal point. “(Kenny) Vaccaro is playing that nickel position, their firstround pick, and he is kind of all over the place so we have to watch out for him. They’re really just playing solid football.

“They’ve got three thick guys inside, three young players who are a force inside. We haven’t faced a team where they are, I would say, household names like we have over the last three weeks, but still very good players.”

Injury update: Charles Tillman (groin), Brandon Marshall (foot), Stephen Paea (toe) and Anthony Walters (hamstring) missed practice for the second day in a row. D.J. Williams was sidelined with an illness, but Trestman said he should be “full-go” today.

nickel over the guards and the tackles, and in the base defense he’s playing more of a two-gap – not necessarily a two-gap – but they’re playing a different technique where he can button press and it more favors his abilities,” Kromer said.

For Jay Cutler, in addition to keeping an eye on Jordan, he faces a secondary that has picked off seven passes this season.

“Rob Ryan coming over from Dallas presents a lot of challenges,” he said. “They’re going to play some two-high safety and throw some three at you, some man, and then offensively, they’re putting up points, so it puts pressure on you. It makes their job on defense a little bit easier.”

In previous weeks, the Bears have had to zero in on opposing defenders such as Geno Atkins, Jared Allen, Troy Polamalu and Ndamukong Suh. This Saints defense doesn’t have that one player, but as a unit, it’s been sound.

In this Sept. 18 photo, Pope Francis waves to faithful as he arrives for his weekly general audience in St. Peter’s Square at the Vatican. Pope Francis convenes his parallel cabinet on Tuesday for a first round of talks on reforming the Catholic Church, bringing eight cardinals from around the globe together in a novel initiative to get local church leaders involved in helping make decisions for the 1.2-billion strong universal Catholic Church.

Pope’s Vision Francis urges reform, wants church with modern spirit

By NICOLE WINFIELD The Associated Press VATICAN CITY – Pope Francis says he doesn’t want a “Vaticancentric” church concerned about itself but a missionary church that reaches out to the poor, the young, the elderly and even to non-believers. That’s the vision he laid out as he opened a landmark meeting Tuesday on reforming the 2,000-year-old institution.

Francis convened the inaugural meeting of his eight cardinal advisers for three days of brainstorming on revamping the antiquated Vatican bureaucracy and other reforms.

The move fulfills a key mandate of the cardinals who elected him: They wanted a pope who would involve local church leaders in helping make decisions about the 1.2-billion strong church.

The closed-door meeting got underway against the backdrop of one of the most tangible signs that change is already afoot: The secretive Vatican bank, under investigation for alleged money-laundering by Italian prosecutors, released its first-ever annual report Tuesday, the latest step toward financial transparency championed by Francis and his predecessor Benedict XVI. Net earnings at the bank, known as the Institute for Religious Works, rose more than four-fold to 86.6 million euros ($116.95 million) in 2012, the report said. More than 50 million euros of that was given to the pope for his charitable works.

Francis has put the Vatican bank on notice, forming a commission of inquiry to look into its activities amid accusations by Italian prosecutors that its clients may have used its lax controls to launder money. The bank’s two top managers have already resigned and a Vatican monsignor has been arrested after trying to

Francis has formed another commission of inquiry to look into the Vatican’s overall financial health, but his decision to name the eight cardinals from around the world as a permanent advisory panel represents the most significant sign that he wants to shake things up at the Vatican.

No decisions are expected this week and Francis himself has said the reform process will take time.

The eight cardinals include Sean O’Malley, the archbishop of Boston and a longtime friend of Francis; Cardinals Oswald Gracias, archbishop of Mumbai, India; Laurent Monsengwo Pasinya, archbishop of Kinshasa, Congo; and Reinhard Marx, archbishop of Munich and Freising, Germany, all of whom head bishops conferences

in their regions.

It’s unclear how this parallel cabinet will work with the outdated Vatican bureaucracy that constitutes a pope’s primary cabinet, known as the Vatican Curia. A scandal over leaked papal documents last year showed the Curia to be a dysfunctional warren of political infighting and turf battles, fueling calls for reform from the cardinals.

On the same day the inaugural “Group of Eight” meeting started, Rome daily La Repubblica published a lengthy interview with Francis, in which he denounced the “Vatican-centric” nature of the Holy See administration and acknowledged that popes in the past had been infatuated with the pomp of the Vatican.

“Heads of the church have often been narcissists, flattered and thrilled by their courtiers,” Francis said. “The

court is the leprosy of the papacy.”

For someone who has said he abhors giving interviews, Francis has made himself remarkably amenable to taking questions about his faith and vision for the church.

The pope also explained his affinity for his namesake St. Francis, whose tomb he will visit today in Assisi, the hilltop town where St. Francis preached his gospel of poverty and caring for the most destitute.

Francis said he wanted a missionary church just like that: “We need to give hope to young people, help the aged and open ourselves toward the future and spread love.”

He said the Second Vatican Council, the 1962-65 meetings that brought the church into the modern world, had promised such an opening to people of other faiths and non-believers but the church hadn’t made progress since then.

“I have the humility and ambition to do so,” he said.

During the interview, Francis showed his wry sense of humor – there was talk about the pope and his atheist interviewer trying to convert one another – but also his very human fears right after he was elected, when he said he was “seized by a great anxiety.”

“To make it go away and relax, I closed my eyes and made every thought disappear, even the thought of refusing to accept the position, as the liturgical procedure allows,” he recounted.

“At a certain point I was filled with a great light. It lasted a moment, but to me it seemed very long. Then the light faded, I got up suddenly and walked into the room where the cardinals were waiting.”

He said he signed the acceptance form and went out on the balcony to be introduced to the world as Pope Francis.

Parents weighed down by kids’ homework Dear Abby: My kids attend a private school that has made it a goal to be a “blue ribbon” school. To that end, teachers pile on so much homework that many of our parents send our kids to bed after three hours and finish it ourselves.

Our kids are completely overwhelmed with senseless piles of busywork.

This summer, our children had to read four substantial books and complete hefty vocabulary packets and math packets that required most of us parents to hire tutors. Our children are stressed, anxious and depressed. We have never indulged them with a lot of video game or TV time. I have considered pulling my kids out of this school, but the public schools around here are awful.

Parents are miserable.

Kids are miserable. We want them to have a decent educa-

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips tion, but we also want them to be happy people – and right now, no one is happy. – Pressured Mom Of Pressured Kids Dear Pressured: Are you aware that some educators feel that students should have no summer vacation at all, and should be in class year-round? The assignments your children were given may have been designed to keep their skills sharp so they would be prepared for the fall term. Because you and other parents feel your children are being overburdened with busywork, it’s time to address this as a group with the principal so you can voice your concerns and get an

explanation.

Dear Abby: My 12-yearold grandson lies often. His parents are trying to give him consequences for his lying as a “team effort.” I don’t want to be the stern grandma and have him have bad memories of me. When he lies to me, should I look the other way and ignore it or follow through with my own consequences? – Grandma in St. Pete, Fla. Dear Grandma: Would you prefer your grandson remember you as the grandmother whose eye he could spit in, tell her it’s raining and she would accept it? It would be better to ask him why he feels it is necessary to lie to someone who loves him, tell him that you expect honesty from him and if you don’t receive it there will be MORE consequences. Remember, you are also a part of the team,

and this is an important life lesson he needs to learn.

Dear Abby: My only son is 18. He didn’t attend his prom.

He quit school and goes to night school instead. I’ll never see him in a cap and gown, holding his diploma. On top of that, he told me six months ago that he’s bisexual and that he has a boyfriend in the U.K. I’m having a hard time with all of this.

I taught my son to love and respect everyone, regardless of race, religion or sexual orientation. Now I’m afraid I won’t have any grandchildren. Even more upsetting, he wants to move to the U.K. to be with his 26-year-old boyfriend.

I feel so cheated – no prom, no graduation, no grandchildren! I’m scared and I cry every day. How do I accept him being him? – Cheated in Connecticut

Dear Cheated: OK, so reality isn’t in sync with your fantasy about how your son would turn out. But why are you dwelling on the negative?

Your son is completing his high school education, and with his GED could very well go on to college or a technical school. While he didn’t attend his prom, he has found a meaningful relationship. He may eventually give you the grandchildren you long for – other same-sex couples have done it.

So look on the bright side.

If you count your blessings, encourage him and accept the man he loves, you could have a life of adventure and international travel, a warm relationship with both of them and gain a son.

Hyperactivity and eliminating food additives Dear Dr. K: My son has ADHD. Should I eliminate all foods that contain artificial food coloring from his diet?

Dear Reader: I’ve asked my pediatric colleagues here at Harvard Medical School for their thoughts about your question. They reminded me that some parents, advocacy groups and scientists have long worried about a link between artificial food colorings and hyperactivity in children.

In March 2011, a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) panel reviewed evidence on this topic. The FDA concluded that artificial food colorings do not appear to contribute to hyperactivity, distractibility and other behavior problems in most

ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff children.

On the other hand, the FDA allowed that certain children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may be uniquely vulnerable, not just to food colorings, but to any number of food additives. ADHD symptoms include inattention, hyperactivity or impulsive behavior.

If you’re worried about artificial colorings in your son’s food, consider the following: • Avoid a radical approach.

For most children with ADHD, radical diets will not do any

good. Try not to let your concern over food additives distract you from established guidelines for healthy eating.

• Try eliminating some foods. Experiment a bit.

Remove the major sources of artificial colors and additives from your son’s diet to see if his symptoms improve. Those sources include candy, junk food, brightly colored cereals, fruit drinks and sodas.

The symptoms to focus on in determining whether your son’s ADHD is improving with these changes are inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity.

Inattention in kids (and adults) with ADHD is reflected in different behaviors.

After you eliminate artificial

colors and food additives, does your son seem less forgetful? Less easily distracted? Does he complete tasks you’ve asked him to do more often? Is he getting better grades at school?

Improvement in hyperactivity usually is easier to spot.

Is your son less fidgety – does he stay seated in one place more often, instead of being restless? Is he more likely to complete a one-person game on the computer?

As for impulsivity, is your son more able to wait his turn? Does the teacher say he is less likely to interrupt her and other students when they are talking? Is he less likely to say bad things or hit other kids when he gets mad at

them? If he has been experimenting with alcohol, tobacco or drugs, has this behavior quieted down?

ADHD can damage a child’s development. It can make it harder to develop friendships or to do well in school. It can lead to behaviors, such as experimenting with drugs, that can damage the child physically and emotionally.

Reducing or eliminating foods with a lot of artificial coloring or additives may not make a difference for the average kid with ADHD. But your son may be one of the kids who are helped by such a dietary change, so give it a try.

The idea of an illegitimate child is outmoded Dr. Wallace: I’m 17 and live with my parents. They have been very good to me, and I love them very much. Last week, I received the shock of my life. I asked my mother for my birth certificate because I needed it for a part-time job.

My mother made a copy for me, and I noticed she had a funny maiden name. I said she was probably happy to change her name when she got married. Then I asked her when they got married and if she had any wedding pictures. After a long silence, my dad looked at my mom and said, “This is as good a time as any because she needs to know.” Then my dad said,

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace “We were never married.”

I couldn’t believe it. If they were not married when I was born, that meant that I was illegitimate. I started crying and so did my mom.

They told me that they had always loved each other, and they loved me and considered us all a family and that it does not change anything.

After thinking it all over, I guess it really doesn’t bother me, but now I’m wondering if this will hurt me in any way

8ASTROGRAPH

By BERNICE BEDE OSOL Newspaper Enterprise Association

TODAY – Emotions will be close to the surface this year. It will be important for you to size up your personal situation and make the changes that will keep you moving in a positive direction. Don’t let anyone bully you or take advantage of you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Put emotional differences aside and get along with others in order to reach a greater goal. Compromise will help bring about change as well as show your flexibility and ability to contribute.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Expand your interests and look for enlightenment. Indulge in interesting challenges and travel to places that will leave an impression. The experience you have will improve your home and family life.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Good fortune is within reach.

Steady progress is all that’s required to improve your position, giving you greater access to a multitude of lifestyles that will keep you entertained.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Don’t give in to someone making idle threats or causing uncertainty and emotional instability. A partnership should be formed with someone having equal talent and the ability to work without supervision.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Line up your agenda and look over your expenses. Taking care of the fine, but important, details will help you avoid criticism from a controlling individual. Make changes in an unyielding manner.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Network, socialize and oversee any matters that can influence your position or your financial future. The schedule you set will ensure your ability to enjoy good friends and personal pampering.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Do what you say, and be consistent in the way you handle others. Emotional problems will surface if you discuss feelings or what you expect from others. Discretion will be necessary.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Protect against injury or harsh encounters with someone prone to bullying. Travel to destinations that will provide you with interesting information that enhance your beliefs. Nurture important partnerships.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Getting involved in activities that are new to you will lift your spirits and encourage you to participate in upcoming events that can lead to new acquaintances and interests.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Reconnect with someone or attend a reunion that encourages you to get back to hobbies or activities you used to enjoy. Don’t let the changes others make throw you off guard.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Don’t overstep your bounds or overstay your welcome. Make changes that will ensure your happiness.

Additional responsibilities must be dealt with quickly so you can get on with your life.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – What you do for others will ensure that you receive the help you need when it comes to accomplishing your goals. Personal opportunities will develop through an unusual relationship.

later in life? – Nameless, Las Vegas, Nev. Nameless: The cruel idea that any child could be “illegitimate” is, thankfully, as outmoded as many other old prejudices. The purpose of a birth certificate is to verify date of birth and the place a child was born, not to establish “legitimacy.”

Believe me, you will be judged in life on your character, not what is written on your birth certificate. Mom and Dad created the problem by not being upfront with you. They chose to live in a common-law relationship rather than a formal marriage. The least they can do

8SUDOKU

now is to tell you why.

Dr. Wallace: My brother and I are twins, and we both have mild cases of acne. We are 16 years old. Our 17-year-old sister has a perfect complexion. We have also noticed that guys seem to have more complexion problems than girls. Is this a fact, or are we just imagining this? – Twins, Columbus, Ohio Twins: Almost all teens have some sort of complexion problem, ranging from a blackhead or two, to severe acne. Fortunately, only about 5 percent of teens suffer from the worst form.

Girls tend to have facial blemishes earlier than the

boys, starting at about age 14, but boys generally have more severe and longer-lasting skin problems. One theory has it that girls – who are more self-conscious about appearance – appear to suffer less from skin problems because they seek treatment sooner and more often than guys do.

But teens who have social issues because of a complexion problem can receive help.

Medical science has produced products that reduce and eliminate facial blemishes. A visit to a dermatologist is recommended.

8CROSSWORD

BRIDGE Phillip Alder

If one looks clear, is there a second?

J.M. Barrie, a Scottish author and dramatist who created Peter Pan, said, “I have always found that the man whose second thoughts are good is worth watching.”

A hard contract to play correctly has an obvious-looking line that doesn’t work, and an alternative approach that can also be tried – which actually does succeed. This deal, as if you could not guess, is an example. South is in three notrump. West leads the spade queen. What should declarer do?

That South hand, with all of those aces and kings and the five-card suit, is easily worth at least 24 points. North used Stayman, then signed off in three no-trump when South denied a four-card major.

Yes, five diamonds would have made, but do not go past three no-trump unless you are either sure that game cannot make or contemplating a slam in your minor.

South starts with eight top tricks: two spades, two hearts, three diamonds and one club.

And many players, taking one look at that gorgeous diamond suit in the dummy, would win the first trick, cash the diamond ace, play another diamond ... and go down one.

Is there a way to win nine tricks even if diamonds do not break 3-2? Yes, the hearts might be 3-3. South, after taking the first trick, should lead his low heart (or cash his top hearts and, when both opponents follow suit, play a third round).

The defenders take the heart trick and lead another spade, but South wins, cashes his top hearts and the diamond ace, plays another diamond, and here claims nine tricks.

COGS EMBRACING ‘WE ARE ONE’

Genoa-Kingston students pack the bleachers during a recent football game in Genoa. The support is all part of what new G-K athletic director Phil Jerbi, who has been a teacher and coach at G-K for 20 years, coined the “GK Pride Club.” This year, the club’s catch phrase is, “We Are One,” which is meant to show unity and to illustrate that no one sport is more important than another.

T

he Genoa-Kingston volleyball team was a little taken aback during their home match against North Boone on Sept. 12.

There was noise coming out of the corner of the gym, where dozens of students, clad in matching blue shirts, were chanting and making noise throughout the match. After prodding from senior Connor Bankson, several members of the football team had shown up for the home opener after their team dinner, and plenty of fellow students joined them, creating an atmosphere that pleasantly surprised the Cogs.

“We had a great fan section,” coach Keith Foster said after the match. “It’s great. We love what (athletic director) Phil Jerbi is doing.”

Volleyball is far from the only sport receiving an influx of student support at G-K. Students show up to soccer matches, golf meets, cross country meets, and hundreds show up to cheer on the football team week

Jerbi, who has been a teacher and coach at G-K for 20 years, coined

the “GK Pride Club.” This year, the club’s catch phrase is, “We Are One,” which is meant to show unity and to illustrate that no one sport is more important than another.

Students pay $50 at the beginning of the year, and in return, they receive three shirts, one white, one blue and one orange, and the athletic department will label different games a blue-out, orange-out or white out.

Members also enter sporting events for free, where they take part in raffles at designated games.

“The idea behind ‘We Are One’ was to promote kind of a unity,” Jerbi said. “We wanted the football players to come to the volleyball games, we wanted the volleyball players to come to the soccer games, and the soccer guys to come out to the cross country meets. The other thing that ‘We Are One’ does is it gives the kids who are not necessarily athletes, maybe they don’t go out for other extra-curricular activities at all, to give them the opportunity to be a part of what’s going on.”

Barbs, Cogs and Hawks on playoff bubble Daily Chronicle sports editor Ross Jacobson and sports reporter Steve Nitz spend their days covering the area’s sports scene. Occasionally, they give their viewpoints on those local sports. In this installment of their Take 2 column, they discuss which teams are destined for the playoffs.

Jacobson: It was another banner week for our football teams. The five local schools combined to go 4-1 on the week and now all of them have a winning record.

Kaneland and Sycamore are playoff eligible after each moved to 5-0, but Hiawatha, Genoa-Kingston and DeKalb all have some work to do at

3-2. Teams need at least five wins to get into the postseason and then strength of schedule would be the tiebreaker if needed.

With four games to go, which teams do you forecast making the playoffs?

Nitz: The Knights and Spartans are obviously locks at this point, while the other teams can go either way.

I’m going to pick one out of the three teams you mentioned, I like DeKalb to play in Week 10. The Barbs will have to navigate through a tough Northern Illinois Big 12 East schedule, but I think they have a good chance to beat Morris, Rochelle and Yorkville. The Redskins are down this year, losing to

TAKE 2 Ross Jacobson and Steve Nitz face off Yorkville for the first time since 1962.

It wouldn’t be a surprise to see the Cogs or Hawks as playoff teams, but at this point I think both come up short with some tough teams ahead of them.

Jacobson: I said before the season that every team would improve on their 2012 record, and it certainly looks that way. However, I didn’t think we had five playoff teams.

Now, I do.

Even though Hiawatha, Genoa-Kingston and DeKalb face tougher schedules ahead, there are reasons to believe all three will manage to win two of their last four regular-season games. DeKalb’s offense is getting better each week, G-K is rolling after a slow start and Hiawatha still is dealing with injuries, but hopes to be healthy down the stretch.

What reservations do you have about G-K and Hiawatha?

Nitz: The schedules. Three of Hiawatha’s final four opponents have winning records, and the team the Hawks play this week, Luther North, has a victory over Mooseheart. The Cogs face two unbeaten teams, Winnebago and Harvard, and still have to beat a solid North Boone team, as well.

Now, G-K should beat Marengo in Week 9, but I don’t think the rest of the Cogs’ schedule will allow them to make the playoffs.

I’m not going to be surprised if you’re right and all three teams make it. I also wouldn’t be surprised if all three missed.

Jacobson: Looking at the schedules a little bit deeper, I don’t agree. Luther North has been inconsistent, hence its 2-3 record, and Harvard hasn’t beaten a team as good as Richmond-Burton this season. The combined records of Harvard’s opponents this season is 5-20.

All three of those teams have played more road games than home games to date and still managed a winning record. Hiawatha and DeKalb end with three of their last four at home while G-K has two left on the road and two at home.

They all should be able to get the job done, accumulate five wins and make the postseason.

DeKalb senior kicker Ben Setchell was cheering on the Barbs early in the season when he realized he wanted to help the team in the kicking department. Using his previous soccer experience, he showed coach Matt Weckler that he could kick, and for three weeks, Setchell has been the Barbs’ new kicker.

kicker in DeKalb’s midseason tryouts, but per IHSA rules, he still had to participate in 10 practices before playing in a game.

His first opportunity was last week at Streator, and after the Barbs’ scored on their opening drive, Sethell was brought out for the extra point.

“It was a crazy experience,” Setchell said. “I definitely didn’t want to miss my first one and I didn’t want everyone to see that I missed my first one. I went out there and I just kept a cool head and it was just another kick with the team.”

His kick was true. And so were the next five extra-point attempts, recording a 6-for-6 night in his varsity debut. His only miss came on a 37-yard field goal attempt in the second half.

“That’s probably the most I’ve seen of a kicker do since I’ve been a coach, going six in a row without a miss,” Weckler said. “Usually, there’s a snap problem or a block problem or the defense makes a play. That’s a pretty big accomplishment, especially for a guy’s first time kicking in a varsity game.”

Last week, Setchell made a 37-yard field goal in practice and noted that he’s become more comfortable with kicking every day. Weckler said Setchell will be used in field goals moving forward, a drastic change from the Barbs’ consistent kicking woes in the first few weeks.

Last week’s game against Streator was on the road, so Setchell will get his first taste of the home-crowd atmosphere tonight.

“This home game, all my friends are going to be there, so it’s definitely going to be cool,” Setchell said. “I was going to be the super fan of the team and now I’m on it.”

Jerbi expected success.

But he didn’t expect the amount of numbers that ended up signing on, with about 200 kids taking part from a school of just more than 600.

“It’s just really been neat to see,” Jerbi said. “We’ve seen a major improvement in our school culture, in our climate, in our school spirit since we’ve started this. So far, so good.”

At the first few football games, the amount of support became abundantly clear when hundreds of orange- and white-clad fans spilled out of the student section and over to the neighboring seats.

Athletes like volleyball libero Olivia Cotton, basketball point guard Tommy Lucca and football running back Sal Lopez have become leaders in the club, along with several other student-athletes, including Bankson. And as the Cogs’ fall sports season has gained momentum, with volleyball, soccer and football all above .500, GK Pride has picked up steam.

“We just wanted to bring back a lot of pride in G-K. Last year, not a lot of people came to our football games, or any sporting event for that matter, and it’s no fun when nobody’s there.”

Connor Bankson Genoa-Kingston senior “We just wanted to bring back a lot of pride in G-K,” Bankson said. “Last year, not a lot of people came to our football games, or any sporting event for that matter, and it’s no fun when nobody’s there.”

Walking through the halls on the day of a designated game, Bankson said it’s easy to tell the stark difference the program has made in breeding school spirit.

“To me it is (surprising). I figured it would be a gradual thing, more and more people, but it all just happened all at once,” Bankson said.

“There’s a ton of people on it. Everywhere you look, there’s a ‘We Are One,’ shirt.

Everywhere.”
