Plan creates commercial district DeKalb County enterprise zone would boost business, industrial development

By JESSI HAISH jhaish@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – DeKalb County leaders are looking to connect the dots on a draft map for a potential enterprise zone that would include parts of several communities.

The enterprise zone’s purpose is to encourage business and industrial development or

Sycamore’s Prairie Business Park is included, as is the Cortland Industrial Park, Crossroads of Genoa Business Park, industrial property in Waterman near Monsanto, and the Sandwich Industrial Park.

The zone also includes some property on Northern Illinois University’s west campus, which could see development

potential over the longer term, Borek said.

Borek said the boundaries were developed through talks with local government leaders to determine which areas were best positioned for development over a 25-year period.

The zone would not only include vacant industrial property, but also existing manufacturers and other businesses

because there are state incentives available to encourage business expansion, such as sales tax exemptions on new manufacturing equipment, Borek said.

Earlier this week, county officials put forth their plan for local property tax breaks for new business development.

NIU’s homecoming parade brings spirit back to downtown DeKalb

Ebola patient’s temp spiked to 103 degrees The ASSOCIATED PRESS DALLAS – Thomas Eric Duncan’s temperature spiked to 103 degrees during the hours of his initial visit to an emergency room – a fever that was flagged with an exclamation point in the hospital’s record-keeping system, his medical records show.

Despite telling a nurse that he had recently been in Africa and displaying other symptoms that could indicate Ebola – fever, sharp headache and abdominal pain – the Liberian man who would beThomas Eric come the only Duncan person to die from the disease in the U.S. underwent a battery of tests and was eventually sent home.

Duncan’s family provided his medical records to The Associated Press – more than 1,400 pages in all. They chronicle his time in the ER, his urgent return to the hospital two days later and his steep decline as his organs began to fail.

In a statement issued Friday, Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital said it had made procedural changes and continues to “review and evaluate” the decisions surrounding Duncan’s care.

Duncan carried the deadly virus with him from his home in Liberia, although he showed no symptoms when

That friendship with Diane Greene and Don Friedman has lasted since they were in the NIU Show Band together in the early 1980s, and they’ve stayed in touch ever since.

Family grateful for community’s outpouring of support for cat Heather Lehnert’s husband, Chris, passed her the letter from a complete stranger with a $50 bill inside.

The letter was a from a Daily Chronicle reader in Kingston who had read their story in Tuesday’s newspaper, and like so many other people this week, was moved to help them, even if just a little.

“Just the amount of people that have come together to help pay for the bills and show support has been just amazing,” Heather said. “We don’t know what to say. … Just a huge thank-you.”

Last week, Mickey, one of the Lehnerts’ two pet cats, was stabbed in the nose with what’s been described as a homemade blow dart – basically a thin, 3-inch metal rod sharpened to a point at one end with an hourglass-shaped piece of wood at the other.

The Lehnerts took the cat to the vet, where they had to pay $240 to have the metal piece surgically removed because it was lodged in Mickey’s bone. The family spent money that they’d planned to use on rent and medicine for the procedure.

Since their story was reported by Katie Dahlstrom, strangers from around the community have been showing up at their door to support them. It’s been more than the family had thought possible.

A woman came by with a donation and told the family if they ever needed cat litter or food or anything to let her know. Another man came to the door and gave the family $100, Heather Lehnert said.

“It made me cry,” Heather Lehnert said.

Two people sent cash donations to the Daily Chronicle’s office at 1586 Barber Greene Road in DeKalb this week.

News Editor Jillian Duchnowski dropped off a $25 donation Friday afternoon; the letter with $50 inside came later that day and I took it to the family.

When I got to the Lehnerts’ home in the 1100 block of South Fifth Street, they told me they wanted to thank all those in the community who have come forward to help them. So we sat a few minutes on their front porch on a beautiful afternoon in DeKalb. Five-year-old Trevor Lehnert told me he was sad his cat got hurt; 9-year-old Audra gave me a hug.

On Monday, Trevor Lehnert, 5 and his sister, Audra, 9, look at the spot where their cat, Mickey, was stuck with a blow dart.

School in DeKalb.

Chris Lehnert was also appreciative, although he didn’t seem accustomed to accepting help from strangers.

“We’re not trying to be a charity case, but we’re grateful for it,” he said. “… It’s just so odd, usually people see that stuff in the newspaper and say, ‘Oh, it’s so sad,’ but it’s just unbelievable how people are helping us out.”

The Lehnerts are working people.

Heather was still wearing the shirt she wears while working behind the counter at the Mobil station on Sycamore Road in DeKalb. She said that many of her customers had recognized her from the article.

Chris Lehnert works just a short walk away as a sales representative at the National Tire & Battery store.

As were so many of the people who were moved by their story, they’re a family of animal lovers, who have two cats and a dog. So when one of their pets was hurt, they did what they had to do to help it, just as they would with any other member of their family.

“We spent the rent money and medication money on the cat because it was the emergency at the time,” Heather Lehnert said.

They didn’t expect the procedure

would cost what it did – Mickey had to be sedated so the metal spike could be removed – and he also had to go back to the vet for a follow-up visit.

The Lehnerts were unnerved by the incident. Chris Lehnert made a point to go around the neighborhood to tell people what had happened – and show them the dart – in hopes of keeping their animals safe.

But thanks to the generosity of the community, they’ve also recouped the money they spent. Chris Lehnert said there’s no need for any more donations.

The person who hurt Mickey hasn’t been found and probably won’t be unless someone turns him in, DeKalb police have said. Hopefully, word has reached them by now about how abhorrent people find what they did, and it won’t happen again.

That aside, the cat is OK now, and thanks to the community support, things have turned out as good as could be expected.

“Even more than we expected,” Chris Lehnert said.

Nielsen admits to errors in TV ratings The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK – The Nielsen company Friday admitted to errors dating back to March in its measurement of TV viewing, statistics that serve as the foundation for billions of dollars in advertising spending for the entire broadcast industry.

The company blamed a software glitch for errors that, industry officials said, mistakenly credited ABC for viewing that was in reality spread across all of the broadcast networks. Nielsen described the errors as minuscule, but the

extent will become better known next week when the company issues corrected ratings for the first week of the TV season.

Nielsen executives said the errors only became apparent in the past few weeks when the beginning of a new TV season meant more people were tuning in.

“The differences are small enough that those of us who look at these numbers every day and live by them didn’t notice a difference,” said Patricia McDonough, Nielsen senior vice president for planning policy and analysis.

The mistakes came up in adjustments Nielsen makes to its ratings each day between an early morning estimate of viewers and a more complete accounting that is released late in the afternoon.

The morning estimate doesn’t account for schedule changes in individual markets and sometimes doesn’t assign some market results to individual networks.

It was discovered that all of the unassigned viewing was mistakenly being credited to ABC, making that network’s afternoon viewership estimates consistently higher than those reported earlier in the day.

Malala’s improbable journey to Nobel Peace Prize nod The ASSOCIATED PRESS BIRMINGHAM, England – Malala Yousafzai celebrated her Nobel Peace Prize where she always wished to be: in school.

The Pakistani girl once shot by the Taliban for daring to want an education just like the boys, celebrated being the joint winner of the peace prize Friday with her classmates at Edgbaston High School for girls in Birmingham, the city in central England she now calls home.

The teenager had traveled to Birmingham for medical treatment after being targeted by the Taliban for her relentless objections to the group’s re-

gressive interpretation of Islam that limits girls’ access to education. She was shot while returning home from school in Pakistan’s scenic Swat Valley two years ago, almost to the day.

“This award is for all those children who are voiceless, whose voices need to be heard. I speak for them and I stand up with them. And I join them in their campaign,” she said at a news conference Friday at Birmingham Library.

“They have rights. They have the right to receive quality education, they have right not to suffer from child labor, not to suffer from child trafficking. They have the right to live a happy life.”

She said it was an honor for her to

share the prize with Kailash Satyarthi of India, 60, who has spent a lifetime working against child slavery and exploitation. She also invited the prime ministers of both India and Pakistan to attend the Nobel awards ceremony.

Malala’s case won worldwide recognition, and the teen, now 17, became a symbol for the struggle for women’s rights in Pakistan. In an indication of her reach, she spoke before the United Nations and made the shortlist for Time magazine’s “Person of the Year” for 2012.

But the journey was simply improbable.

Pakistani doctors removed a bullet

that entered her head and traveled toward her spine when a masked man with a gun suddenly shot her Oct. 9, 2012. She was flown to Britain for more specialized brain trauma care. She woke up a week later at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, England.

She said she regained consciousness with one thought: “Thank God I’m not dead.”

Malala gradually regained her sight and her voice. Three months later she walked out of the hospital.

“She is quite well and happy on returning home – as we all are,” her father told The Associated Press at the time.

By ANDREA AZZO aazzo@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – For Dixie Zander, life during retirement involves spending one day a week volunteering at the PayIt-Forward House.

“Pay-It-Forward is just like my second home,” she said. “I love volunteering there. [They have] wonderful people, and not enough can be said about it.”

The health care hospitality house at 719 Somonauk St. in Sycamore was organized to provide low-cost housing for family and friends of patients receiving medical treatment in DeKalb County. It has about 200 active community volunteers who together volunteered for 5,970 hours in 2013, said Pay-It-Forward House Director Joyce Mathey.

They are now looking for more help: a volunteer orientation will take place from 11 a.m. to noon Oct. 18. The event will include a tour of the house,

Mathey said there are several ways to get involved, and some do not have big time commitments. One is to join the cookie committee, where volunteers deliver freshly baked cookies to guests. About 50 people are currently on the committee; volunteers deliver the cookies every Monday during their designated volunteering week, Mathey said.

Volunteers may also become a “friendly face,” who greet guests to the Pay-It-Forward

House and show them how the facility operates. Friendly faces are at Pay-It-Forward every day, working shifts from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. or 2:30 to 6 p.m.

Monday through Thursday, or 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

Friendly faces can work once a month or once a week, depending on their availability, Mathey said.

Other volunteer opportunities include becoming part of the cleaning crew, helping with fundraising and special events, or working on lawn care or gar-

dening. Those who are interested may fill out a volunteer application at payitforwardhouse.org/volunteering.html.

“We rely on our volunteers infinitely to help us serve our guests and provide our mission,” Mathey said.

As a volunteer coordinator, part of Zander’s job is to check guests in and out and work with a man who cleans the kitchen and living room. Zander is at Pay-It-Forward every Wednesday. Another volunteer coordinator, Marge Johnson, is there every Monday.

After retiring about 10 years ago as the CEO at the DeKalb County Realtors Association, Zander said she enjoys staying busy and active with her volunteering.

The experience at Pay-ItForward can also be rewarding for the guests.

“We listen,” Zander said.

“We are there to listen to them and engage in conversation to let them know you are listening to them.”

SYCAMORE – A 58-yearold Sycamore woman faces domestic battery charges for allegedly using objects to strike two teens who have been in her care for at least two Lovetta C. years.

Honegan Lovetta C. Honegan, 58, of the 500 block of Clayton Circle, was charged with four counts of domestic battery in connection with the 13-yearold and 15-year-old. She has

since posted $750 bail and is next due in court Oct. 31.

Police learned one of the children was hit with a plastic whiffle-ball bat and noticed several old markings of injuries on both children consistent with being hit with an electrical cord, said DeKalb police Lt. Darrell Johnson.

A school resource officer received information about the case Thursday.

Both children have been placed in temporary care with another family member, Johnson said. Sycamore police and the Department of Children and Family Services are both investigating, the release states.

Police: New phone scam makes rounds

By ANDREA AZZO aazzo@shawmedia.com DeKALB – DeKalb police are warning residents about a new scam gaining popularity that uses three-way phone calls to trick people into believing a loved one needs money.

According to a community alert issued on the DeKalb Police Department’s Facebook page, the scam involves callers who tell the victim they have kidnapped a loved one and demand ransom money. At the same time, the callers are on the phone with the loved one,

who is told the first victim has been kidnapped. This way, victims hear their loved ones on the phone and are fooled into believing the incident is real, police said.

The perpetrators can also use the same three-way calls

to tell victims a loved one has been in a car accident and that they need medical expenses paid, authorities said.

“Our best advice is to immediately hang up,” said DeKalb Public Information Officer Chad McNett. “Unless you’re a billionaire and you have a bunch of money, the likelihood of being a legitimate target is so slight.”

These scams are successful, because they feed on the panic of the victims, who feel a sense of urgency to help in the middle of an emotionally charged event, McNett said. Police have a difficult time catching

the criminals, because the money is often wired to foreign countries, he said.

Police said this isn’t the only scam people should be worried about. Over the past few years, DeKalb police have received complaints from elderly people who are victims of phone calls in which a person pretending to be their grandson says they need money.

In that case, McNett said the best thing to do is call the grandson immediately.

“Hang up and call Joey,” he said. “Nine times out of 10, Joey’s going to answer and tell you that he’s fine.”

reminding people that they cannot park between 2 and 6 a.m. today and Sunday along Varsity Boulevard, Regent Drive, Eco Park Drive, Fotis Drive, Aspen Court, Spiros Court and Pappas Drive.

Overnight parking is generally allowed in those areas on normal days, said DeKalb Public Information Officer Chad McNett.

Temporary parking signs will show parking is prohibited this weekend in those areas, and the signs will be removed after the weekend, McNett said.

Instead, police recommend people park in the city parking lots in downtown DeKalb.

Police also will increase their presence this weekend to control

homecoming crowds. NIU and DeKalb police are getting help from Illinois State Police troopers, DeKalb County Sheriff’s deputies and Sycamore police to control traffic, McNett said.

Outside police agencies could also be called for help in case of a big event, McNett said.

To make a report If you or someone you know is concerned about a possible phone scam, call the DeKalb Police Department at 815-748-8400 or the DeKalb County Triad at 815748-8439.

Exp. 11/30/2014.

Parking rules changed for NIU homecoming DeKALB – Those who park overnight in some sections of DeKalb’s northwest side this weekend could have their car towed, authorities said.

Election Central

The Associated Press CHICAGO – The editorial boards of Illinois’ major news organizations have started weighing in on the Illinois governor’s race, with the Chicago Tribune and Crain’s Chicago Business announcing endorsements Friday for Republican Bruce Rauner over Gov. Pat Quinn.

The two nods in one of the nation’s most competitive gubernatorial races follow one last week from a similar endorsement for Rauner by the Arlington Pat Quinn Heights Daily Herald. All three noted Rauner’s business background and emphasis on improving Illinois’ economic climate. The Tribune said Quinn had made efforts to improve things, but Rauner’s focus would better suit the state.

“We believe a Gov. Rauner would explore changes made by governors of other states with balanced budgets, solid retirement systems and lower unemployment rates,” the editorial noted. “He’s obviously competitive. He would strive to do what Quinn cannot: Make Illinois competitive

Quinn, a Chicago Democrat, is seeking a second full term, while Rauner, a venture capitalist from Winnetka, is seeking public office for the first time.

Rauner’s campaign touted the enBruce Rauner d o r s e m e n t s via email.

Quinn told reporters he wasn’t surprised, saying he still won the 2010 election over Republican state Sen. Bill Brady without endorsements from some of Illinois’ major media outlets.

“I’m not going to win the newspaper endorsement battle, never have,” he said. “I think it’s important to get the endorsement of the voters.”

He defended his record on jobs while announcing a $2.25 million state grant for a downtown Chicago-based software development that’ll be expanding facilities and

adding 500 jobs over the next five years.

However, the editorial boards questioned Quinn’s work on the issue.

In its endorsement, Crain’s noted that it had backed Democratic candidates before, but Rauner’s experience would benefit the state in a race where the central issue has been promoting business growth.

Crain’s said Quinn “put Illinois on stronger financial footing” and took over during “the worst corruption scandal in the state’s history,” when former Gov. Rod Blagojevich was charged with wide-ranging corruption allegations and sent to federal prison. But that Quinn has “seemed deliberately indifferent” to business owners’ needs.

“Mr. Rauner would bring the much-needed perspective of a private-sector leader,” the editorial said. “And he has a sharp eye for efficiency, something that bloated state government desperately needs.”

Last week the Daily Herald endorsed Rauner, saying he isn’t the “perfect candidate” but is “clear on his ultimate objective” for improving Illinois’ financial outlook.

The Chicago Sun-Times announced in 2012 that it would no longer endorse candidates.

Rain dampens police shooting protests in Mo.

By ALAN SCHER ZAGIER The Associated Press CLAYTON, Mo.– A cold, steady rain dampened the start of widespread weekend protests over the two-month-old death of Michael Brown and other fatal police shootings in the St. Louis area and elsewhere that demonstrators say are racially motivated.

Organizers of the four-day Ferguson October events expected 6,000 participants from the local area and across the country, but the initial protest Friday outside the St. Louis County prosecutor’s office in Clayton didn’t draw nearly that amount.

Protesters huddled beneath umbrellas, raincoats and ponchos as they renewed their call for county prosecutor Bob McCulloch to charge Darren Wilson, a white Ferguson officer, in the Aug. 9 death of

died for,” chanted protest organizer Montague Simmons of the local group Organization for Black Struggle. “We are here to bring peace, to bring restoration, to lift our banners in the name of those who’ve been sacrificed.”

Police in Clayton reported no arrests, and officers escorted several hundred demonstrators through the suburb’s downtown as they marched past high-end restaurants, jewelry stores, banks and law offices.

Still, tensions remained high in the wake of another black 18-year-old’s shooting death by a white police officer Wednesday night in St. Louis.

Police said Vonderrit D. Myers shot at the St. Louis officer, who was in uniform but working off-duty for a private neighborhood security patrol.

Myers’ parents said he was unarmed.

was meeting up with other protesters from Illinois, Minnesota, New York and Tennessee.

“But I do plan to do what I believe are in my rights as a protester. If I get arrested, that’s on the people who arrest me.”

Brown’s parents, the local chapter of the NAACP and other organizations called for peaceful protests ahead of the demonstrations.

St. Louis police arrested eight people Thursday as hundreds gathered to protest Myers’ death. At one point officers used pepper spray to force protesters back. A police spokeswoman said one officer was struck in the arm after someone threw a brick, and several cars were damaged.

Black leaders in St. Louis want the Justice Department to investigate Myers’ shooting as well. Preliminary autopsy results show a shot to the head killed Myers.

The officer’s name hasn’t been released.

“It’s important for this country to stand with this community,” said protester Ellen Davidson of New York City, who was making her second trip to the St. Louis area since Brown’s death. “This community is under siege. ... The eyes of the world are watching.”

Additional demonstrations were planned later Friday in Ferguson as well as in the St. Louis neighborhood where Myers was killed.

The protests shift to downtown St. Louis today, hours before the Cardinals host the San Francisco Giants in the first game of the National League Championship Series. On Monday, a series of planned – but unannounced – acts of civil disobedience are to take place throughout the St. Louis region.

High court action on voting aims to avoid chaos The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – In seemingly contradictory voting-rights actions just a month before November’s elections, the Supreme Court has allowed new Republican-inspired restrictions to remain in force in North Carolina and Ohio while blocking Wisconsin’s voter identification law.

But there’s a thread of consistency: In each case, the court appears to be seeking a short-term outcome that is the least disruptive for the voting process.

Another test of the court’s outlook on voter ID laws could come from Texas, where the state is promising to appeal a ruling that struck down its strict law as unconstitutional racial discrimination.

None of the orders issued by the high court in recent days is a final ruling on the constitutionality of the laws.

The orders all are about timing – whether the laws can be used in this year’s elections – while the justices defer consideration of their validity.

In some ways, these disputes over the mechanics of voting are like others that

crop up frequently just before elections as part of last-minute struggles by partisans to influence who can vote.

Republican lawmakers say the measures are needed to reduce voter fraud. Democrats contend they are thinly veiled attempts to keep eligible voters, many of them minorities supportive of Democrats, away from the polls.

Court rulings at various levels also have revealed partisan divisions. Most judges who voted to uphold the restrictive laws or allow them to take effect while the legal fights play out are Republi-

the election. The law had been on hold for months and the state itself had planned to spend eight months preparing the electorate for the new ID program, Hasen said.

But when the federal appeals court in Chicago ruled last month that the law could be used in November, the state opted to go ahead.

Restrictions on early voting, same-day registration and provisional ballots in Ohio and North Carolina had been in effect until judges recently stopped them. The Supreme Court put those restrictions back in place.

LOS ANGELES – President Barack Obama is on a three-day fundraising swing through California but what he says at some of his stops will be anybody’s guess. Two of the four events he’s attending in Los Angeles and San Francisco are closed-door.

sity of California at Irvine law school.

This year, that idea appears to have led the Supreme Court to outcomes that on the surface appear to be inconsistent, Hasen said. One problem in reading too much into the orders is that they were issued with little explanation.

But in each case, the court took issue with lower court rulings that would have changed the rules too close to an election, Hasen said.

In Wisconsin, that meant that up to 300,000 voters might not have been able to obtain IDs in the few weeks before

The high court has laid out one area of agreement: a general rule discouraging courts in general from letting potentially disruptive changes take effect at the last minute.

“The idea that courts should not impose a new set of voting rules just before an election is not a new one,” said Richard Hasen, an election law expert at the Univer-

NIU held its homecoming parade Friday evening, which started in downtown DeKalb, traveled down First Street and through the Ellwood Historic Neighborhood before ending at the North Forty.

Family: Care was ‘either incompetence or negligence’ • EBOLA Continued from page A1

Icahn: Senate leader ‘selling out’ Atlantic City ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. – Billionaire investor Carl Icahn is accusing New Jersey’s Senate president of “selling out” Atlan-

tic City by considering casinos near New York City.

Icahn responded Friday to stinging criticism by state Senate President Steve Sweeney and others about Icahn’s role in

a proposed bailout of the struggling Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort. Icahn said he will give the casino $100 million, but only with union givebacks and tax credits.

Sweeney is ruling out any state contribution to Icahn’s proposed transfer. That makes it even more likely the Taj Mahal will close Nov. 13.

Proposal would have to be OK’d by state board • DISTRICT Continued from page A1 The local tax abatements would apply to property value growth created by new construction by industrial, logistics and research-and-development firms.

The proposed enterprise zone would have to be approved by the state Enterprise Zone Board before any incentives would be offered.

Information about poverty, vacant structures, large-scale business closings and more is needed as part of 10 criteria reviewed by the Illinois Depart-

WSTOP IN & SEE

ment of Commerce and Economic Opportunity.

There are currently 97 enterprise zones throughout the state, but DeKalb County has never had one.

Enterprise zones allow up to 15 square miles of land area be designated as such, but Borek said they will not use all of the square mileage at the time of the application to preserve the option of expanding the zone in the future. He said municipalities would continue to be kept in the loop on its progress.

Although many incentives are focused on manufacturing and research-and-development projects, commercial areas

also are being included in the zone because growth in the local tax and jobs bases would be one way the zone would be evaluated in the future, Borek said.

“We encouraged the communities to focus on commercial areas that would be ripe for redevelopment or new construction,” Borek said. “The goal is to attract new investments.”

The next step is to connect the designated areas, as all intended areas need to be connected in some way. County Administrator Gary Hanson said three-foot wide strips will be used to connect all the ar-

eas on the map sometime next week.

“It will be one strange-looking polygon,” Hanson said.

Borek said something that was taken into consideration during the drafting process was the fact that DeKalb County is currently the only county in Illinois with a state university without its own enterprise zone. He said if approved, the zone could benefit the students as more businesses open up in the area.

“There would be potential for business development, research development and interacting with business leaders in the community,” Borek said.

he left for the United States. He arrived Sept. 20 in Dallas and fell ill several days later.

When he first showed up at the hospital, the man reported severe pain – rating it an eight on a scale of 10. Doctors gave him CT scans to rule out appendicitis, stroke and numerous other serious ailments.

Ultimately, he was prescribed antibiotics and was told to take Tylenol, then returned to the apartment where he was staying with a Dallas woman and three other people.

“I have given patient instructions regarding their diagno- Josephus sis, expecta- Weeks tions for the next couple of days, and specific return precautions,” an emergency room physician wrote. “The condition of the patient at this time is stable.”

After Duncan’s condition worsened, someone in the apartment called 911, and paramedics took him back to the hospital Sept. 28. That’s when he was admitted and swiftly put in isolation.

Duncan died Wednesday, almost two weeks after he first sought help. He was 45, according to the records. Relatives said he was 42. The discrepancy could not be immediately resolved.

Josephus Weeks, Duncan’s nephew, said his uncle’s care was “either incompetence or negligence.”

Either way “there is a problem, and we need to find the answer to it,” he said, adding that it was “conspicuous” that all the white Ebola patients in the U.S. survived “and the one black man died.”

Only a fraction of the documents are related to the first visit. Most are related to Duncan’s care after he was admit-

ted to the hospital.

Dr. Amesh Adalja, an infectious-disease specialist at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center who reviewed some of the records, said the care after Duncan’s second ER visit was “impeccable.” Dallas physicians immediately signaled concern about Ebola and “spared no measure to try to keep him alive.”

The documents also show that a nurse recorded early in Duncan’s first hospital visit that he recently came to the U.S. from Africa, although he denied having been in contact with anyone sick. There was no indication in the paperwork that he was asked any follow-up questions about his travels.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had alerted hospitals nationwide to take a travel history for patients with Ebola-like symptoms.

The hospital said it had made changes to its intake process and other practices “to better screen for all critical indicators” of Ebola.

Doctors who evaluated Duncan did not respond to messages left at their offices by the AP. A spokeswoman for the Texas Department of State Health Services said the agency was considering investigating the hospital for compliance with state health and safety laws.

The hospital has repeatedly changed its account of what the medical team knew when it released Duncan from the emergency room early Sept. 26.

A few days later, Sept. 30, it initially said Duncan did not tell the staff he had been in Africa. On Oct. 1, it said Duncan’s nurse had been aware of the Africa connection but did not share that information with the rest of the medical team.

The next day, the hospital blamed a flaw in its electronic health-records systems for not making Duncan’s travel history directly accessible to his doctor.

OUR VIEW

Rauner gives Illinois hope

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Support park district’s Vision 20/20 plan To the Editor: I am writing to express my support for the Sycamore Park District’s Vision 20/20.

I have lived in Sycamore for more than 40 years. Our children were born and raised here and participated in many of the activities and programs the park district offered – baseball, softball, soccer, golf and swimming. We spent hours practicing and playing at the Sycamore Park District’s facilities.

I remember coaching a Colt League baseball team for two summers on the old baseball diamond where the swimming pool is now. We didn’t have all the baseball and softball diamonds or the soccer fields. The programs offered were few compared with today’s programs. The neighborhood parks and walking trails were nonexistent. The community center was in an old building, which is now the Natural History Museum.

In the time we have lived here, I have seen the park district grow by leaps and bounds. More activities are provided now as a result of expanded facilities. Although many improvements have been made, as Sycamore continues to grow, we need to maintain a future focus, which is Vision 20/20.

With your support, the park district will continue to enhance the community of Sycamore by providing a dog park, sled hill, splash pad and a badly needed community center. These additions will provide more opportunities for the citizens of Sycamore – now and in the future.

Please vote “yes” for the Sycamore Park District’s Vision 20/20 on Nov. 4.

Congressman Hultgren should debate opponent To the Editor: The deck has been stacked against an economy that works for everyone, except for the

wealthy few!

Thanks to the disastrous 2010 and 2014 U.S. Supreme Court decisions of Citizens United vs. the Federal Election Commission and McCutcheon vs. FEC, corporations and billionaire families can give unlimited amounts of money to buy our elections and politicians.

Not one Senate Republican voted in support of a recent attempt to pass a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United and McCutcheon, not even Republican Rep. Randy Hultgren of Illinois’ 14th District.

When it comes to income and wealth inequality, Americans deserve a tax code that is fair to everyone. From 1980 to 2006, the wealthiest 1 percent tripled their share of after-tax income, while everyone else stayed the same or lost ground.

In the past 10 years, the number of impoverished children has increased by 30 percent. Households with the fewest assets lost the most ground. The vast majority of Republicans in Congress want to cut Social Security,

Medicare, Medicaid and nutritional programs and refuse to help students.

Millions of families are unable to afford health care or a college education, while one out of four major corporations pay no taxes at all, along with the NFL. The average college debt grew from $17,000 in 2001 to $29,000 in 2013. Recently, Elizabeth Warren (D-Massachusetts) tried to get relief for students by getting her bill passed called Bank on Student Emergency Loan Refinancing Act or S.B. 2432. Who has enabled the corporations and Wall Street to cannibalize the lives of others to such a degree? Congressman Randy Hultgren!

It’s no wonder four presidents of the 14th District’s League of Women Voters, including in DeKalb County, cannot get Hultgren to debate his Democratic opponent Dennis Anderson before the November election, as he might have to account for his voting record.

More should be done to keep Ebola out of America As the Ebola infection rate and death toll continue to rise rapidly on the African continent, many of us have become complacent with the measures we have taken to protect Americans from this deadly disease.

Other nations, such as England, have gone so far as to ban flights emanating from the affected regions of Africa. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and various infectious-disease specialists have done a yeoman’s job in their efforts to prevent infected individuals in our country from contaminating others.

They have put excellent protocols in place that would virtually guarantee complete safety. Unfortunately, all of those valiant efforts cannot preclude human error, which remains an ever-present danger, regardless of intellect.

For this reason, I and many others are not comfortable with the idea of bringing infected individuals into our midst when we can readily treat them elsewhere and happily receive them back once the infectious danger has passed.

When one does a logical benefit-to-risk analysis, it is clear that the worst things that could happen by intentionally bringing this dangerous disease to America are far worse than the best things that could happen. Some say if we bring infected indi-

VIEWS Ben S. Carson viduals here, it will accelerate research endeavors and a potential cure or effective vaccination.

Others say not bringing infected citizens back demonstrates an insensitivity toward wonderful people who risk their lives for others. I am sympathetic to these arguments, and if we did not have safer alternatives, they would convince me.

Perhaps we should be concentrating on stopping the spread of Ebola in Africa and eradicating it from Earth. Like the war on terrorism, we should fight it elsewhere to decrease the likelihood of needing to fight it here.

African lives are every bit as valuable as lives in America or anywhere else, and this humanitarian crisis has enormous health implications for the whole world.

If, as some officials say, bringing infected individuals back here expedites the acquisition of knowledge that could lead to a cure, as all components of the disease could be more carefully studied, why not transport more researchers and facilities to the heart of the epidemic and dramati-

cally accelerate the process?

I have no desire to induce panic, but we must realize that some viruses are known to undergo mutations that make them even more virulent. If the Ebola virus becomes even more pathologic, the ensuing panic and destruction of human life could go far beyond what is currently being acknowledged. This means there is some urgency to getting the outbreak in Africa under control.

The point is, this is an extremely dangerous disease with the potential to spread throughout several African countries and, subsequently, into other parts of the world, including the United States.

Most crises prompt warnings, which, if heeded and acted upon, can avert disaster.

On the other hand, if arrogance and mistakes characterize the response, horrendous results are likely to ensue.

If we stop trying to prove we are right – whatever our opinions are – and instead concentrate our efforts on halting the spread of the disease where it is concentrated and finding a cure, perhaps we could avert needless panic and death throughout Africa, America and the world.

Gov. Pat Quinn has had more than five years to guide Illinois toward a brighter fiscal future.

Instead, his incompetent leadership and regressive policies have driven the state to the brink of financial collapse.

To that point: Illinois is bleeding jobs. State data released last month show there are 102,000 fewer Illinoisans in the workforce now than when Quinn, a Democrat, took office in 2009. That’s good for worst in the country.

Illinois also is the only state in the Midwest where food stamp enrollment has outpaced job creation – by a 2-to-1 margin – since the Great Recession, again under Quinn’s watch.

Illinois has the worst credit rating of any state in the nation, meaning it pays more in interest when For the record borrowing money. Under Quinn, national ratings Rauner doesn’t need this agencies have downgraded job. He said he’s running the state’s credit rating 13 because he believes in times. The state’s bonds are Illinois and wants to make near “junk” status. it a better place to live.

Illinois also has a worstin-the-nation public pension deficit of $100 billion and growing. Almost a quarter of every dollar state government collects annually from taxpayers goes toward retirement benefits, not services. Quinn stood on the sidelines as lawmakers worked on pension reform last year, offering no solution of his own to the state’s most pressing issue. The solution ultimately arrived at now appears likely to be thrown out in court, putting reform efforts back to square one.

Deadbeat state government owes social service agencies, school districts and other employers almost $5 billion for work completed months ago. Illinois’ worker’s compensation costs are fourth worst in the U.S., driving businesses and jobs elsewhere.

Quinn and Democratic state lawmakers also foisted a 67 percent income tax increase on wage earners in 2011, costing a household with annual income of $50,000 an additional $1,000 in taxes. Quinn promised it would be temporary, but now wants to make it permanent.

He also wants to introduce a graduated income tax, another jobs killer.

Simply put, Quinn’s tenure as governor has been a complete failure.

By contrast, Republican nominee for governor Bruce Rauner is a success story. A self-made millionaire, he helped build a startup investment firm into one of the most successful businesses in the state.

Rauner’s wealth was not given to him. He earned it.

Yet Quinn, a lifelong politician, holds that against him.

Success should be lauded, not vilified.

Because he is independently wealthy, Rauner will not be beholden to the special interests that have helped corrupt Springfield. He said he will stand up to public employee union leaders who have fought tooth-and-nail against reform. He said he also will fight corruption and cronyism, which have thrived under Quinn in state government agencies such as the Department of Transportation and the Department of Agriculture.

Rauner understands that the state’s taxpayers are overburdened. He wants to phase out the Quinn income tax hike over four years, freeze property taxes, and shrink state government. He also wants to reduce the overall number of governmental bodies in Illinois.

Rauner pledges to be an active governor and live in Springfield. Unlike Quinn, Rauner says he will be on the floor working legislation every day the General Assembly is in session.

Rauner also is not a career politician; this is his first run for office. He supports term limits and, if elected, said he would serve at most two terms.

Rauner admits he does not have all the answers.

He understands Illinois’ financial situation is so dire, he will need help. He vows to surround himself with talented people whose focus will be righting the state’s fiscal ship, not political cronies looking for more taxpayer-funded handouts.

Rauner doesn’t need this job. He said he’s running because he believes in Illinois and wants to make it a better place to live. Bruce Rauner gives Illinois hope.

Gov. Pat Quinn offers more of the same failures.

Illinois can’t afford more of the same. That’s why we endorse Rauner, the Republican nominee for governor.

ANOTHER VIEW

What are Putin’s values?

The details are still murky, but this is too good a story for cable TV to pass up.

Russia has canceled a 21-year-old high-school-student exchange program with the United States because a Russian teenager in the program, spending the academic year in Michigan, has sought asylum here for fear he will be persecuted if he returns home. He is gay.

A top Russian foreign ministry official portrayed the student’s defection, if that’s what it was, as a violation of not only the agreement but also the basic “moral and ethical principles of Russian society.” One could fairly ask if under Vladimir Putin Russia has any moral or ethical principles other than self-enrichment, self-perpetuation in office, encroachment on its neighbors and seeking to mask its decline as a great power by aggravating the West and especially the United States.

Nonetheless, the United States is obligated to return the boy home. Then at least Western diplomats and media can keep an eye on his treatment at the hands of the Russian authorities.

YORKVILLE 14, SYCAMORE 0

Spartans’ offense sputters

By EDDIE CARIFIO ecarifio@shawmedia.com YORKVILLE – A workhorse running back and a lockdown defense.

It’s been the recipe for success for the Sycamore football team this year. On Friday, Yorkville used that recipe against them.

Michael Kurtz ran for 152 yards on 35 carries to help Yorkville to a 14-0 homecoming win against the Spartans.

Sycamore (4-3 overall, 1-2 Northern Illinois Big 12 East) Monica Synett – mmaschak@shawmedia.com was shutout a week after a 14-7 Sycamore quarterback Brett Bemis runs the ball before being forced out of bounds in the second quarter win against Kaneland.

“We’re not doing things well against Yorkville on Friday night in Yorkville. The Spartans lost, 14-0.

offensively,” Sycamore coach Joe Ryan said. “We did good things on defense, did things well special teams-wise, except that missed field goal. We’re just not doing enough on offense.”

The offense for the Spartans managed only 235 yards, including 48 for Dion Hooker, who entered the game as the second leading rusher in the area.

“We were going in thinking how were we going to stop their running game, and the kids rose to the occasion,” Yorkville coach Karl Hoinkes said. “We played very good on defense, tackling at the line of scrimmage.”

DEKALB 28, ROCHELLE 27

Brett Bemis had one of his most prolific passing games for the Spartans, completing 15 of 21 passes for 171 yards and didn’t throw an interception.

Ryan said entering the game he hoped to open up the offense a little more, but the clock-eating Foxes (6-1, 3-0) did their part in keeping the Spartans off the field. “ W e o n l y h a d s i x p o ssessions the whole game,” Ryan said. “We have to be more efficient on offense on our possessions and we just weren’t.”

ALDEN-HEBRON 30, HIAWATHA 18

Playoff eligibility put on ice

By JACOB WESTENDORF sports@daily-chronicle.com KIRKLAND – The Hiawatha football team came into Friday night’s game against Alden-Hebron looking to become playoff eligible for the first time since 2009, even if the Hawks didn’t qualify that year, missing out on playoff points.

The Hawks fell short of that fifth win in a 30-18 loss to Alden-Hebron.

“It was an amazing atmosphere: senior night, chance to become playoff eligible, we felt we couldn’t lose,” Hawks coach Sean Donnelly said.

The Hawks’ defense started the game with authority, covering a fumble on the Giants’ first possession. In what became a theme for the night, the Hawks failed to capitalize on their opportunity, turning the ball over on downs on four plays.

Danielle Guerra – dguerra@shawmedia.com

DeKalb receiver Rudy Lopez stiff arms his way past Rochelle defender Tyler Ryan before scoring DeKalb’s first touchdown in the first quarter Friday in Rochelle. The Barbs won, 28-27.

Barbs pull out victory late

By STEVE NITZ snitz@shawmedia.com ROCHELLE – After he scored on a 68-yard touchdown run to get DeKalb within one point of Rochelle with two minutes left in Friday night’s football game, Dre Brown had it in his mind that he

wanted the Barbs to go for two.

“In the back of my mind, I was like, ‘Let’s do this,’ ” Brown said.

“Let’s get out of here.”

DeKalb coach Matt Weckler had the same idea. The Barbs lined up for the extra point, but holder Derek Kyler, the team’s starting quarterback, took the ball, rolled to his right

and found Allen Letterer in the back of the end zone for the two-point conversion. The Barbs held on to win, 28-27, after Jake Kuykendall sealed the game with an interception.

Leif Williams, the DeKalb (7-0) starting long snapper, was injured in the second half, and the Barbs had an extra point blocked in the fourth

quarter in part because of a bad snap.

Weckler didn’t want to take any risks.

“We just said, ‘We’re not going to chance that again,’ ” he said. “I feel more confident getting the ball in Derek’s hand out on the perimeter

Hiawatha running back Nick Doolittle has his facemask grabbed by an Alden-Hebron tackler in the first quarter of Friday night’s game in Kirkland. The Hawks lost, 30-18.

CENTRAL MICHIGAN AT NORTHERN ILLINOIS, 4 P.M. TODAY, ESPN3, AM-560, 92.5-FM

Homecoming brings extra hype

By STEVE NITZ snitz@shawmedia.com DeKALB – For Northern Illinois players, homecoming week has a different feel.

NIU’s homecoming tradition dates to Oct. 10, 1903, and its the oldest college football tradition in the state. It grows a year older this afternoon at Huskie Stadium, when NIU takes on Central Michigan and looks to extend its 28-game home winning streak, the longest in the nation.

For players who have spent two or three years in the program, homecoming is a good chance to see former teammates.

“It’s really cool how some of the

“That’s really cool for us guys that weren’t here to be around those players when they were playing.”

It’s even a different experience for NIU coach Rod Carey. He said when he was a senior at Indiana, players wanted to put on a show for former

teammates.

As a coach, he’s been here four years and knows the faces coming back.

“That’s an interesting thing. We were talking about that as a staff, it’s a great question. Coach (Kevin) Kane actually brought it up,” Carey said.

Russell says on Instagram he won’t play this year SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Notre Dame cornerback KeiVarae Russell posted a message on social media Friday saying he will not play football this season and likely will miss the spring semester.

“Though disappointed in the decision the school has just recently made after 2 longs months of waiting for a decision to come, I accept it and will make sure I spend my time away efficiently,” Russell wrote in the posting on Instagram.

Notre Dame spokesman Michael Bertsch confirmed the posting was from Russell. Russell didn’t reply to telephone messages or texts from The Associated Press.

Russell is the first to comment. He wrote that he plans to return to school in June stronger mentally and physically and that he will be “ready to make history during the 2015 season!”

Coach Brian Kelly said after practice Thursday that he didn’t have firsthand knowledge of the status of all five players.

Florida reinstates QB, complaint withdrawn GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Florida quarterback Treon Harris has been fully reinstated by the university and the football team after a fellow student accuser withdrew her sexual battery complaint against the freshman.

The school said in a statement Friday that the woman who made the allegation “is not pursuing criminal charges against him at this time, but maintains the right to do so in the future.” The university added that it is not proceeding with any action against Harris.

Florida coach Will Muschamp responded by reinstating Harris, but said he will not play in tonight’s game against Southeastern Conference rival LSU. – Staff, wire reports

BEARS AT FALCONS, 3:25 P.M. SUNDAY, FOX, AM-780, 105.9-FM

MLB PLAYOFFS

Could be a shootout in Atlanta BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush Depending on how much you value statistics, there’s a good chance these Bears just aren’t who we think they are.

In case you haven’t checked the numbers lately, the Bears are as good or better on defense as they are on offense.

The Bears rank 17th in total offense and total defense.

They’re only 22nd running the football but actually have improved to 16th in the NFL stopping the run. They’re 14th throwing the football and 17th defending the pass.

What is really interesting is for all the credit we give the offensive line and all our focus on the defense’s lack of a pass rush, the Bears are 11th in QB sack percentage and 19th in percentage of QB sacks allowed.

The Bears’ defense is second in the NFL in interception percentage, and Jay Cutler is 23rd in percentage of interceptions thrown. The offense is 16th in points scored, while the defense is 23rd in points allowed.

Through five weeks this season, the Bears significantly are better on defense than they were last year and well behind where they finished last season on offense.

That said, the greatest challenge the Atlanta Falcons will present Sunday will be to the Bears’ defense. Atlanta has one of the best offenses in the league, third in total offense, second throwing the football and third in points scored.

Matt Ryan is the trigger at quarterback, but in another strange-but-true fact, his numbers almost are identical to Cutler’s. Ryan has a passer rating of 96.4 to Cutler’s 94.9.

Ryan has piled up more yards with 1,579 to Cutler’s 1,295, and

The good news for the Bears and their fans is the Falcons’ defense is awful, 29th in total defense, 31st sacking the quarterback, 29th in interceptions and 29th in points allowed.

With linebacker Sean Weatherspoon and safety William Moore are out with injuries, there are no playmakers on this unit to fear.

Knights lose to Redskins

BLACKHAWKS

Hawks hope to improve in OTs, SOs this season

By MARK LAZERUS mlazerus@suntimes.com

Craig Lincoln for Shaw Media

Morris junior Peyton Bruyn (left) brings down Kaneland junior Tyler Paulson on Friday night in Maple Park. The Knights lost, 26-21. Log on to Daily-Chronicle.com for the game story.

DALLAS – Few teams in the NHL are better suited than the Blackhawks to the open ice of 4-on-4 overtime play or the individual skills competition of the shootout. Yet bonus hockey befuddled the Hawks last season, and ultimately cost them home-ice advantage in the first round of the playoffs.

Patrick Kane In 2013-14, the Hawks were 1-7 in games decided in overtime (not winning one until the third-to-last game of the season) and 6-8 in shootouts.

Nobody personified the baffling struggle more than Patrick Kane, one of the league’s alltime best shootout artists, who went 1 for 11 for the season.

So it was an encouraging start to the 2014-15 season when the Hawks beat the Dallas Stars

in a shootout Thursday, with Kane scoring the lone goal.

“It’s nice to score the first one of the season, obviously,” Kane said. “I know I have as many as I did last year right now. It’d be nice to keep improving on that and be a factor in that, and get us some more points when needed.”

Kane roofed a backhander over Kari Lehtonen’s shoulder, an extraordinarily difficult shot. Hawks goalie Corey Crawford sympathized with Lehtonen.

“It’s really difficult; [Kane] probably scores on me half the time,” Crawford said. “You never know what he’s going to do. That’s why he’s so good, he changes up quite a bit and kind of fools goalies. He’s got a good shot too so you kind of have to respect him if you’re the other goalie. Respect his shot and then he’ll throw a move out there like that. He’s definitely one of the tougher guys in the league on shootouts.”

TAKE 2 Eddie Carifio and Steve Nitz face off

PREP FOOTBALL: GENOA-KINGSTON 37, NORTH BOONE 28

Cogs earn come-from-behind win

By DUSTIN KING sports@daily-chronicle.com

Not time to push the panic button Daily Chronicle sports editor Eddie Carifio 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 wonder how panicked NIU and its fans should be after a close call against Kent State.

Nitz: NIU survived a scare against Kent State last week.

The Golden Flashes had a golden (pun intended) opportunity to tie or take the lead late in the fourth quarter, but unfortunately for them they had two quarterbacks get hurt on consecutive plays in what ended up being a 17-14 loss.

Central Michigan is a better team than Kent State is, and oddsmakers have listed NIU as a 10½-point favorite. Before this home stretch began, I expected the Huskies to roll through Kent State, CMU and Miami.

After last week’s game, how much concern should Huskies fans feel right now?

Carifio: If Twitter has taught me anything – and it really hasn’t – it’s that NIU fans (at least the ones on Twitter) are a jittery bunch.

I don’t think they need to be panicking just yet.

The first big test for the

Huskies isn’t until Nov. 11, when they host Toledo in what should be the Mid-American Conference West championship game.

That is a lot of time to right a ship that, frankly, isn’t that far off course. Players can emerge, units can toughen up – a lot can happen in a month.

I really don’t think they are pushed again until at least that game.

Nitz: I actually think Central could cause some problems for NIU. The Chippewas’ offense has been good the past two games, and it’s not a coincidence that stud receiver Titus Davis happened to return to the lineup two weeks ago against Toledo.

Sure, I expect the Huskies to win. But if the offense is inconsistent like it was last week, watch out, we could be talking about that Huskie Stadium winning streak ending. However, I expect Drew Hare and Co. to bounce back.

Carifio: I’m still optimistic the steak is alive heading into the Toldeo game.

I’m not so sure we should be saying Hare, however.

Given how close coach Rod Carey plays things to the vest, I wouldn’t be surprised if we see Matt McIntosh play.

It’s been that kind of year.

GENOA – The Genoa-Kingston football team made a double-digit comeback in the third quarter Friday night to get a 37-28 win over North Boone.

The win kept the Cogs’ postseason hopes alive. G-K improved to 3-2 in the Big Northern Conference East Division and 3-4 overall, while the Vikings dropped to 2-3 in the conference.

The Cogs showed their resilience and fought back from a 2815 deficit midway through the third quarter. The Cogs forced three turnovers from that point and never looked back. G-K scored three touchdowns to pull off the comeback victory.

Monica Synett – mmaschak@shawmedia.com

Chippewas last team to beat NIU in DeKalb Five storylines to watch 1. The quarterback rotation This subject has come up every week, and who knows how long it stays that way. Anthony Maddie will play, we know that. The question is, does he make the most of his chances like last week and get more than one series?

Drew Hare had his worst game of the season in last week’s win over Kent State. Look for him to bounce back.

2. Rawls, Rawls, Rawls NIU coach Rod Carey said Central Michigan tailback Thomas Rawls, who had a career-high 229 yards on 40 carries last week against Ohio, is in the same class, or at the very least right below, Arkansas backs Alex Collins and Jonathan Williams.

That’s some pretty high praise.

3. Can NIU contain Davis?

CMU senior wideout Titus Davis has had 309 yards the past two weeks combined. Look for him to see a good deal of Huskies senior corner Paris Logan.

4. Turnover margin NIU has lost the turnover battle the past two weeks, and has forced only two turnovers against FBS teams this season. The Huskies probably won’t be able to get away with costly giveaways against the Chippewas.

5. Fan support NIU drew 15,620 fans last week.

With this being homecoming weekend, and next week’s contest being against a bad team (Miami) and the last Saturday home contest of the season, this might be NIU’s only shot at a sellout.

• HUSKIES Continued from page B1 “Those guys who played in a 2011 with us, those guys are well into their careers now. They wear suits and everything.

I’m not used to seeing that on them, but we’re really happy for them.”

In terms of Central Michigan, a couple of NIU’s impressive streaks started after losses to the Chippewas, who come into Huskie Stadium at 3-3 and 1-1 in the Mid-American Conference. CMU was the last MAC team to beat NIU in DeKalb, doing so Nov. 12, 2008. The Huskies have rolled off 17 straight MAC home wins since.

On Oct. 1, 2011, CMU beat NIU, 48-41, in Mount Pleasant, Michigan. The Huskies have 11 straight MAC road wins since the loss.

CMU comes in off a 2810 win over Idaho, and the Chippewas have put up 56 points the past two weeks combined.

NIU’s offense has struggled the past two games, scoring only 31 points.

Carey said getting back on track is all about getting back to the basics.

“All of it. No matter how good we thought that game plan was, the game plan needs to be better when you only score 17 points,” Carey said. “So it starts there. But fundamentals, we have to get better at our fundamentals and not have them fail us. We see it in practice that we are getting better. We just have to translate that to the game.”

“It was an absolute utter mess,” Cog coach Travis Frederick said. “I told the boys I was proud that they stuck together. (Quarterback Griffin) McNeal settled down and the line started to kind of move the ball. We felt like we did a good job of keeping them honest.”

Zach Butler had three interceptions in the contest for the Cogs, tying a school record.

The last one came with just over 5 minutes left and led to a touchdown for G-K. With the Vikings up 14-8 after an intercetpion, senior linebacker for the Cogs Joe Murray returned the favor however with his own pick six right before the end of the half. The Viking offense was

driving and in Cog territory, before Murray made the huge play.

“I was just reading the quarterback,” Murray said. “I thought he was going to scramble, I rolled out to my left and then he threw it. I tipped it with my left hand and then I was just gone from there.”

The Vikings went on to score two touchdowns early in the third quarter. One a rushing touchdown by Nate Montemayor. The next touchdown came from a strip fumble return by Brandon Endecott to put the Vikings up, 28-15.

The Cogs showed heart and battled back, getting an interception from Zach Butler with just over five minutes in the

third. McNeal ran a rollout for a touchdown close the gap to six points late in the third.

Early in the fourth Zach Butler came up big again with another interception. Putting the Cogs in good field position.

McNeal got another rushing touchdown to put the Cogs on top, 30-28, with just less than seven minutes left.

Once again Butler came up large for a school tying record third interception with just over 5 minutes left. The Vikings had one last shot late in the game after stopping the Cog offense. They couldn’t convert on a fourth-and-long and the Cogs iced the game with a touchdown with a 1:28 left, giving G-K the win.

the teams traded blows in a wild second quarter. With Aldon-Hebron leading, 12-6, late in the second quarter, the Giants recovered an onside kick and were on the attack again.

Hiawatha’s defense stood tall to the challenge, intercepting a pass and giving its offense the ball with a chance to tie or take the lead before halftime.

Unfortunately for the Hawks, Evan Williams’ pass was intercepted and returned for a touchdown, putting the Hawks in an even bigger hole before halftime.

The wild ways continued on the ensuing kickoff. Chris Schuck took the kickoff 85 yards for a touchdown, making the score 18-12 at halftime.

and just seeing what happens than having us kick it and giving them the opportunity to block it again.”

The Rochelle defense did a good job of keeping Brown’s ground game in check, but he ended up getting his chance late. He finished with 141 rushing yards.

“Rochelle, they we’re playing us very tough. When coach calls my number in the fourth quarter, I’ve just got to deliver,” Brown said. “It was a quick hitter to the left and I cut it back. I cut it back again and it was just off to the races.”

The run was Brown’s second touchdown of the game.

He also had a 31-yard touchdown reception from Kyler in the first half. Kyler also threw a 13-yard touchdown to Rudy Lopez, and the Barbs’ other score came on an Eriq Torrey 3-yard run.

The best way to keep the DeKalb offense in check is to keep the Barbs off the field.

The Hubs certainly did that, running for 273 yards. However, DeKalb made big plays when it needed to. The Barbs forced a turnover on downs at their own 1-yard line in the first half, and forced the key punt that set up Brown’s touchdown run in addition to the final interception.

Autumn exteriors Designers offer advice on outdoor fall decorating

H

By MELISSA RAYWORTH The Associated Press

omes in the northern U.S. are treated to a measure of effortless outdoor decorating for fall: Nature does most of the work by turning the trees a vivid palette of reds, oranges and golds. Add a pumpkin or two on the doorstep and the look is complete.

In the rest of the country, it takes a bit more creativity to add the season’s colors and textures to the exterior of a home. Southern California designer Betsy Burnham says poorly done fall decorating can look out of place in warmer climates. And as Halloween decorating has become increasingly popular, many homeowners aiming for a festive fall look go overboard with big decorations and harsh shades of orange.

But with a light touch and some strategic choices, homes anywhere can be made more attractive through the beauty of the season. Here, Burnham and two other designers – Brian Patrick Flynn of the Flynnside Out design blog and Lee Kleinhelter, owner of the Pieces design store in Atlanta – offer advice on doing outdoor fall decorating right.

AVOID CLICHES If you’ve been hanging up the same fall wreath on your front door for several years now, Burnham suggests a fresh approach.

“It doesn’t have to be a wreath,” she says. “It can be wheat sheaths. It can be pussy willows. Just something that seems autumnal.”

Flynn agrees: “I usually stay away from corn husks as door decor,” he says, “and I also skip things that have been done a million times, like scarecrows.

Instead, I like to simply play with yellowand orange-toned plants, and a variety of pumpkins.”

Kleinhelter suggests using “rustic elements to complement this time of year,” such as birch logs, twigs and vines. They can be left in their natural colors or painted white or a soft shade of gold.

She also likes decorating with “the fiery fall foliage of gingko and sugar maple trees,” which can be potted and clustered together in simple arrangements around a front door or in an outdoor entertaining area. “They make such a beautiful impact, really popping with color,” Kleinhelter says.

ENTERTAIN OUTDOORS “If you’ve got space, an outdoor fireplace will allow you to host guests and also take in the amazing foliage,” says Flynn. “I have an outdoor fireplace in my own mountain house, and I deck it out in fall tones each year and just escape outside all day long.”

Outdoor cushions in summery colors can be replaced with warmer, autumnal shades. And Burnham suggests using clusters of scented candles outside in cinnamon, clove or other seasonal fragrances.

Depending on your climate, Flynn even suggests hosting Thanksgiving dinner outside. Space heaters and a roaring fire can keep guests warm in most parts of the country, even on a November evening. And candlelight on the table adds to the drama.

“If you’ve got an outdoor spot that’s covered and has a great view,” Flynn asks, “why not take the biggest dinner of the year outdoors?”

CHOOSE THE RIGHT SHADES All three designers are fans of white gourds and white pumpkins. “We use

When entertaining in the fall, designer Brian Patrick Flynn likes to keep things casual by dining outdoors not only to look at the beautiful fall foliage, but also to take advantage of the brisk weather. TOP: Flynn added a modern fireplace to take advantage of the gorgeous autumn weather at his mountain house. To enhance fall style, Flynn changes up throw pillows in October by swapping summer-tones pillow cases with those more suited for autumn. them every year one way or another,” Kleinhelter says. “Grouping them on table settings or outside in multiples by the door is an easy arrangement.”

You can decorate with gourds and pumpkins without adding “that crazy pumpkin orange” to your home’s exterior, Burnham says. Instead, pick other shades of orange and yellow that feel seasonal but aren’t quite so bright.

“Orange and yellow are the two colors most associated with fall style,” Flynn says. But “to get these tones right, you’ve got to stick with those that have just the right amount of brown in them.

Otherwise the intended look will end up being somewhat childish or even summery. Stick with mustard tones rather than canary yellow, and as far as orange goes, it’s best to use burnt pumpkin tones rather than red oranges or yellow oranges.”

You can also mix in neutral shades of tan and soft brown. “And I always like to throw my own spin on it all,” Flynn says, “by incorporating black.”

USE WHAT YOU HAVE “I don’t think you need to go buy a new ‘themed’ look for a season,” Kleinhelter says. “Take something you already have and rethink it, like the natural elements in your yard, and come up with a creative yet simple way to use them.”

White lights you bought for Christmas decorating can be just the thing to make fall outdoor decorating look special. “We have jumbo vine balls we are going to wrap in lights and scatter in the yard,” Kleinhelter says, in “a ‘pop art’ kind of way.”

Burnham agrees: “You can never go wrong with white lights,” she says. “You can do a lot with just framing your door with really beautiful white lights,” perhaps woven through twigs or vines.

The look is glamorous, and also practical: If you’ve lined your front door with white lights woven through twigs in the fall, simply add some pine or holly branches to the mix when it’s time to decorate in December.

FAMILY TIME | Safety and nutrition tips for Halloween

Tip of the week Halloween night is swiftly approaching, and parents want children to stay safe while having fun. It’s easy to take the tricks out of trick-or-treating with simple Halloween safety and nutrition tips. As you prepare to send off your little ghouls and goblins for a night of fun, keep in mind these tips from Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals: • Prepare for trick-or-treaters: Before Halloween night begins, make sure your yard is safe and ready.

Replacing burnt out light bulbs and

turning on outdoor lighting will help prevent accidents as night sets in.

Experts at OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital recommend removing items from your yard that kids could trip over like sprinklers, hoses and rakes. They also encourage appropriately guarding pets to avoid potential injuries.

• Give out the goods: Consider giving out healthier alternatives to your trick-or treaters this year. Health care professionals at Janeway Children’s Hospital Foundation suggest handing out sugar-free gum, whole-grain crackers or raisins. Stickers and pencils make great giveaways as well.

• Let your kids shine: Sending your kids out in the dark doesn’t have to be scary or unsafe. Adding reflective tape to your children’s costumes or candy buckets helps them be seen in the evening hours. Doctors at Gillette Children’s Hospital recommend adding flashing buttons to your child’s costume. They also encourage attach-

ing mini flashlights to your children’s wrists or candy buckets to allow them to see in poorly lit areas.

• Buddy up: On average, twice as many child pedestrians are killed while walking on Halloween compared to other days of the year, according to SafeKids.org. Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital recommends children younger than 12 trick-or-treat and cross the street with an adult. Always walk facing traffic on sidewalks or paths if available, and take advantage of all traffic signals and crosswalks.

• Beware of tricks: Getting home after a long night of treat collecting is exciting, but before your kids dig into their loot, do a quick inspection of their candy bag and look for any tampered treats. Throw away any candy that is unwrapped or has a torn or worn wrapper.

• Limit candy intake: Discussing and setting expectations for how much candy your children are allowed to eat can limit overindulging. Specialists

at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta encourage sending trick-or-treaters out after filling up on a healthy family dinner and letting kids choose three to five pieces of candy to eat on Halloween night. To avoid a post-Halloween sugar surge, allow kids to choose their favorite candy and then offer to buy back or trade any leftover candy for money or a special prize.

Turn of events leads to win for Italian winemaker Eleonora Marconi was raised by the sea in the Marche region of Italy.

She discovered wine early, and shortly after high school, became a trained sommelier. At Castello di Nipozzano, Marconi was an intern, then traveled to Australia to hone her craft as a winemaker. She has family roots in Australia and Italy.

But, in 2012, she returned home as winemaker for Nipozzano.

grapes separately in cement because we ran out of room to include them with the other grapes.

“As we tasted the different lots after fermentation, we could tell the Vecchie Viti plot stood out and we decided to bottle it separately. The result is a wine that is reflective of the specific characteristics of the 2011 harvest,” she said.

Because the wine was moved to large oak barrels for 24 months, Marconi was able to impart a plush wine where the tannins are softer and gentle. The smooth texture is a centerpiece of the wine. But, the fresh, red fruit notes are the star. Sangiovese can be fickle, but was in rare form in 2011.

A potent combination of ideal weather, soil and altitude made for a memorable

experience. There are enough tannins to enjoy with fish and meats. My choice was spaghetti tossed in a sauce of fresh Roma tomatoes, momentarily boiled, then simmered until their water content evaporated. Add a touch of garlic and fresh basil and the perfect companion was set.

“The altitude, exposure and soil have encouraged the growth and development of the grape varieties in the Chianti Rufina area, enhancing the peculiar characteristics of Sangiovese,” Marconi said.

“The big gap between day and night temperature is very important in developing the flavor profile of our grapes.

The great balance of flavors and aromas that you discover while tasting this wine is born out of respect and love for our land.”

What to buy Frescobaldi, Nipozzano, Vecchie Viti, 2011 ($29.99): This is an excellent wine to transition from the warmth of summer

to the crispness of fall. It has bright cherry flavors and easy-going tannins. Grown 990 feet above sea level, the altitude contributes to the complexity with mineral notes and a balanced acidity.

It’s 90 percent Sangiovese.

“The altitude has a very important impact on the grapes,” Marconi said. “It results in a wine with more finesse and good aromas.

The wine will be fresh with a nice acidity and that means it has good potential for aging.”

Black cherry, cocoa powder and a fresh acidity are framed by leather notes on the finish.

This will only get better with time.

“We want to taste the nuances of the Pinot Noir, we don’t just want jammy fruit,” said Moretti, whose entire portfolio is available at www. morettiwines.com. “For me Pinot Noir is all about nuances and reading between the lines. You don’t have to see the capital letters.”

This is a marvelous wine I tasted with truffle cheese.

Moretti used the Mt. Eden Clone, the oldest Pinot Noir clone in California. It’s not ultra flashy, but is loaded

so pretty, floral and soft that it almost feels like drinking a Pinot Noir. Mushroom, wet leaves and pine on the nose yield to bright raspberry flavors. The finish has iron and wild game from the Syrah.

This is a complex wine yet incredibly mellow with a silky mouth feel. It’s 40 percent Syrah, 35 percent Grenache and 25 percent Mourvédre.

If every vintage was a game, 2011 would be a big win for Marconi.

A win that came by chance after harvest.

“Nipozzano Vecchie Viti is a wine born of practicality,” Marconi said. “This is a single vineyard wine made in a hot and dry season. Because of the heat of the season, the grapes were picked in a short period and the grapes from the Vecchie Viti plot were the last to be picked. We fermented the

Real-life ‘Bones’ to speak at NIU Oct. 23 Before her real-life experiences captivated audiences in Fox’s hit television show “Bones,” Kathy Reichs shared her knowledge of anthropology as a visiting professor at Northern Illinois University in 1974.

An esteemed anthropologist and a distinguished author, Reichs will return to campus at 4 p.m. Oct. 23 as a guest speaker during the 50th anniversary celebration of the NIU Anthropology Museum.

The event will begin with her talk “Bones, Bugs and Bodies: Inside Today’s CSI” in the Carl Sandburg Auditorium at the Holmes Student Center. A book signing sponsored by Barnes & Noble will follow. The event is free and open to the public.

Reichs also will serve as the keynote speaker later in the evening during the Anthropology Museum’s gala at Altgeld Hall beginning at 7 p.m. Tickets for the event are available online.

One of only 82 forensic anthropologists ever certified by the American Board of

Forensic Anthropology, Reichs is a highly regarded forensic anthropologist and professor of anthropology at the University of North Carolina-Charlotte. She brings her dramatic work experience to life through the fictional character Temperance Brennan, featured in her award-winning books and in “Bones.”

From teaching FBI agents how to detect and recover human remains, to separating and identifying co-mingled body parts in her Montreal lab, Reichs has devoted her career to the application of anthropology to help solve some of humanity’s most violent crimes.

She has traveled to Rwanda to testify at the U.N. Tribunal on Genocide and helped exhume a mass grave in Guatemala. She has aided in the identification of war dead from WWII, Korea and Southeast Asia. Reichs also assisted with identifying remains found at ground zero of the World Trade Center after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Green Day, Sting among rock hall nominees

By DAVID BAUDER The Associated Press NEW YORK – The punk trio Green Day, the short-lived British band The Smiths, “Lean on Me” singer Bill Withers and Sting are among the first-time nominees for enshrinement in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Six of the 15 nominees for the hall’s Class of 2015 announced Thursday are on the ballot for the first time.

More than 700 artists and other members of the music community will vote on the inductees, with the results announced in December.

Other first-time nominees are the abrasive rockers Nine Inch Nails and the late blues guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan.

To be eligible, a musician had to release a recording in 1989 or earlier.

With its ninth nomination since 2003, Chic is once again hoping for some good times.

The Paul Butterfield Blues Band was nominated for the fourth time. New York rocker Lou Reed, who died last October, was nominated for the third time and the first since 2001.

Other nominees are Joan Jett and her band, the Blackhearts; German electronic music pioneers Kraftwerk; Motown’s The Marvelettes; the Los Angeles rap collective N.W.A.; Philly soul singers The Spinners and the rock and soul band War. With “Dookie” and “American Idiot,” Green Day scored two of the biggest albums of the 1990s and 2000s. Withers, who hasn’t released new music in nearly three decades, had a string of 1970s era hits “Ain’t No Sunshine,” ‘’Just the Two of Us” and “Lovely Day.” The 2015 induction ceremony will be held in April in Cleveland, home of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. Television plans have not been announced.

BREAST CANCER AWARENESS

What are your breast cancer risk factors?

The answers could surprise you (BPT) - Breast cancer is the most common cancer among American women, aside from skin cancers. About one in eight women in the U.S. develop invasive breast cancer during her lifetime. Fortunately, 90 percent of patients diagnosed with breast cancer will survive the disease.

A diagnosis of cancer can be diicult for patients and their caregivers to receive. David Moeckly is a specialist pharmacist in the Express Scripts Oncology herapeutic Resource Center and he helps patients understand the condition and manage the complex treatment regimens.

“What most people may not realize is that men can get breast cancer as well, although it is 100 times more common among women,” Moeckly says.

Breast cancer usually originates in the linings of either the tubes (ducts) that carry milk or the glands (lobules) that manufacture milk.

RISK FACTORS FOR BREAST CANCER INCLUDE: Family medical history: About 5 to 10 percent of breast cancer cases are thought to be hereditary, meaning that they result directly from gene defects (called mutations) inherited from a parent. Having one irst-degree relative (mother, sister, or daughter) with breast cancer doubles a woman’s risk. Having two irst-degree relatives increases her risk about three-fold.

Personal history of breast cancer. A woman with cancer in one breast is three-to-four times more likely to develop a new cancer in the other breast or in another part of the same breast. his is diferent from a recurrence (return) of the irst cancer.

Ethnicity: Overall, white women are slightly more likely to develop breast cancer than are African-American women, but African-American women are more likely to die of this cancer. “he irst symptom is oten the most common one - a new lump or mass,” Moeckly says. “A painless, hard mass that has irregular edges is more likely to be cancerous, but breast cancers can be tender, sot or rounded. hey can even be painful.”

Getting annual mammograms can help detect breast cancer early and save your life, he adds.

“It is also important to have any new breast mass or lump or breast change checked by a health care professional because mammograms do not catch all breast cancer cases,” Moeckly says.

Treatment for breast cancer can be diicult and invasive, including chemotherapy and radiation. Both the treatment and the stress can have a detrimental impact on your health and appetite.

Ensuring proper nutrition during treatment is very important, he adds. Paying careful attention to what you eat can also help ease the side-efects of treatment.

HERE ARE A FEW NUTRITION TIPS TO REMEMBER: Eat enough calories: Treatment can oten result in a poor appetite. One way to ofset the lower food intake is to ingest high-calorie foods such as hard-cooked eggs, peanut butter, cheese, ice cream, granola bars, liquid nutritional supplements, puddings, nuts, canned tuna or chicken, and trail mix.

Tempt yourself: Eat your favorite foods anytime of the day. Eating small meals or snacks every couple of hours rather than three large meals is usually more successful to increase food consumption.

Foods that ofset nausea and vomiting: Many treatments can

cause nausea and vomiting. Eat six-to-eight meals a day, consisting of easy-to-digest foods such as soups, crackers, toast, dry cereals, broth, sport drinks, water, juice, gelatin and frozen fruit treats to help minimize these symptoms. Avoid spicy, greasy and overly sweet foods. Ginger and peppermint can also help reduce nausea.

Stay hydrated: Severe diarrhea during treatment can cause dehydration. Eating foods such as oatmeal, bananas and rice can help treat diarrhea. Fried, spicy, or very sweet foods may make it worse. And remember to drink plenty of water.

Stay adherent: As always make sure to take your medication as prescribed by your doctor and do not self-adjust.

Over-wintering your perennials in pots? Some tips

By DEAN FOSDICK The Associated Press In simpler times, container gardening was small-scale landscaping using flowering annuals. Enjoy their color for one season and go with something new the next.

But shifts toward food production and mixed container planting – perennials with annuals – have changed all that, creating the need for over-wintering.

“Many more people have limited or no garden space . (and) as a result are doing their food gardening in containers,” said Marianne Ophardt, an extension horticulturist with Washington State University’s Benton County office. “Cultivating small (perennial) fruit like raspberries, strawberries and blueberries is one way for these gardeners to grow their own fruit, and it’s fun.”

Ignore the rules about hardiness zones if you’re trying to over-winter perennials in pots. All bets are off when containers are exposed to dehydrating winds and seasonal freeze-dry cycles.

“When we put woody or

that is two zones colder than my zone,” Ophardt said.

Some plants genetically are more perennial than others.

Woody plants like shrubs, for example, usually are more cold-hardy than are softstemmed herbaceous perennials.

Many techniques have evolved to help potted plants survive the winter. Several of the most common: • Use bigger containers.

“Larger root masses and soil volumes are less susceptible to winter injury,” said Hannah Mathers, an Ohio State University professor who specializes in commercial nursery and landscape extension.

Provided photo • Dig them into the ground.

This gardener is moving some woody perennials from containers into “Dig a pit and cover with poly the ground in part to protect the roots from freezing over winter and (plastic sheeting) and straw in part to give the shrub more room to spread out in Langley, Washin- to over-winter some smaller ton. Many perennials do well in containers for one to two years before containers,” Mathers said.

“Trapping the heat from growing too large and becoming root bound. perennial plants in pots above the soil, they have lost the insulation provided by the soil and are exposed to potentially tissue-killing temperatures,” Ophardt said. “As a general rule, the least hardy parts of woody plants are the roots.”

The best way to help plants survive the winter is to select the right varieties to begin with, she said. Buy the most cold-tolerant varieties you can find.

“I pick the hardiest available rated with a USDA zone

the earth is an ideal way to over-winter plants.”

• Group them. Less troublesome that digging can be “grouping and placing them in a protected spot on the ground, such as an alcove or corner, and mulching them with compost or straw,” Ophardt said.

• Bring them indoors.

“Anyplace cool but that will stay above freezing,” Ophardt said. “Most often an unheated garage meets this criterion.”

Potted plants should be prepared if they’re to be over-wintered in unheated structures, Mathers said.

“Watering should be reduced in late September and early October to help the plant acclimate,” she said.

“Fertilizer should be stopped in early September to reduce lush growth and again allow for acclimation.”

Over-wintering perennials

gives you a running start for the next growing season, especially if you’re a fan of mixed container gardening. It supplies nearly filled containers that need only a few annuals to complete.

“I myself this year did several mixed planters with small shrubs, small conifer trees and herbaceous perennials mixed with annuals,” Mathers said. “I will be over-wintering these in an unheated greenhouse. Some of the larger pots with conifers I will keep outside for winter color.”

The level of exercise and diet information has grown exponentially over the years, with the onslaught of obesity. There is always some new way to workout. There are so many methods that espouse ways to tone up that if you’re not already confused, you will be. I am a former aerobics instructor and gym rat. I was obsessed with needing a flat stomach, toned arms and great thighs.

Over the years I lifted heavy weights, used the stair climber for hours every week and took my measurements at least once a week to make sure I wasn’t ballooning up!

Well, if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that being excessive does not always serve us in the long run. I’ve ended up with three implants: shoulder, knee and hip. In December of this year I will have the other knee done. What I find amusing is that there are multitudes of individuals who are replacing parts, but there are few articles or establishments that cater to this genre of the population. Oh, yes, there are rehab facilities and you can see a physical therapist if your doctor writes you a script, but why are we ignoring a faction of society that is growing by leaps and bounds?

I am no longer at the point where I can climb a wall, swing on a rope or even attempt to do a pushup. So many of the programs today are geared to seduce people into pushing themselves beyond their limitations. Does anyone really have to carry a log on their back while going uphill? “The Biggest Loser” always has people doing things that in my mind border on insanity. Does anyone ever get chosen for that show who has arthritic issues, like hands that have a hard time holding weights, backs that are compromised or ankles that hurt when you walk. I know extra weight doesn’t help, but aging reminds us over and over that we may not have been kind to our bodies and those bodies remind us of it everyday.

Eleven thousand people are reaching 65 everyday. Many of them are saddled with limitations that make simple everyday tasks difficult. Where are the fitness programs or fitness centers for us? I know you can go to a gym and hire a personal trainer, but you need to have someone who is both a physical therapist and a fitness trainer.

Yoga has some possibilities, but at this point I would have to modify the modifications. I think the time is ripe for an enterprising individual to create a wellness center for the aging population. It would serve everyone’s interests. A senior who is capable of being more physically autonomous puts less burden on family and community.

I’m ready for a “elder cool” exercise haven.

8 ADVICE & PUZZLES • Saturday, October 11, 2014 • Section C • ASTROGRAPH

By EUGENIA LAST Newspaper Enterprise Association

TODAY – The rewards you get for your hard work will mean more if you have someone to share them with. Keep your personal relationships strong and include your loved ones in your dreams and aspirations. Finding the right balance will result in happiness for all concerned.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Curtail your spending habits. Putting some money into a long-term investment will lessen your temptation to overspend. You should also set up a reasonable budget and stick to it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Someone around you will not give a true assessment of a situation you face.

Discreet inquiries will enable you to find out the truth. Don’t be too free with your personal information.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – You will gain more respect and help if you treat your partners as equals.

Whether at home or at work, people appreciate fairness as well as praise.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Stay on top of your game. Opportunities come and go quickly. Keep up to date with industry trends and get in touch with potential partners.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Clear the air. If there is discord among the people you live with, you need to conduct a serious dialogue in order to remedy the situation. Don’t ignore the obvious.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Don’t pass on a chance to travel. Keep your passport and personal papers up to date so that you will be ready to go at a moment’s notice.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – You can accomplish plenty if you put in overtime at work. Not only will you clear your schedule, you can gain recognition from your superiors and bring in extra cash.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Quick decisions will be your downfall. Avoid buying things on impulse, and don’t fly off the handle if your partner offers friendly advice. Think things through before you act.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Keep your personal and professional lives separate. An emotional attachment to a co-worker is likely to cause mistrust and dissatisfaction among your other colleagues. Keep your mind on the job, not on who’s watching you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Children will have a positive effect on your day. New relationships are possible if you participate in family-oriented events or activities. Get out and enjoy what your community has to offer.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Plan to do something that allows you to be introspective. Reading, writing or listening to music will help calm your nerves. Discussions will be less than satisfactory.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – If you feel restless, check out local educational opportunities. For inspiration, consider learning a new language, doing some painting or taking part in a discussion group that offers cultural information.

Middle child’s cries for help go unheeded Dear Abby: I’m a teenage girl who is frustrated with my family. I am the middle child, and it seems like my parents prefer my brother and sister over me. I am constantly in trouble for things they have done, and my parents are aware that they did.

When I try to express my feelings, nobody will listen.

Several times I have almost committed suicide or run away. I am lost and I don’t know what to do. Please help me. – Nowhere in Indiana Dear Nowhere: When a person cries out in pain and feels she (or he) isn’t heard, it can be doubly painful. But suicide or running away is not the answer. What you need to do is explain to an adult – an aunt, uncle, school counselor or close family friend – how you are feeling, so that person can intercede on your behalf with your parents, who may not realize what they’re doing and the effect it’s having on you.

Dear Abby: How long is too long to wait when it comes to hearing the highly anticipated phrase, “I love you”?

My boyfriend and I have been dating for eight months.

We have been through a lot together during this time, and his actions suggest that

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips he loves me. When I finally asked him why he hasn’t said it to me, he said, “Why haven’t YOU said it?” “I want it to happen naturally,” and, “Just be patient with me.”

We get along amazingly well. We have a wonderful time every time we see each other (which is almost every day), and he has told me he can see a future with me.

Am I wrong for thinking I deserve to hear the “L” word at this point, or am I rushing things? I don’t understand why he is so reluctant to say it, and his reluctance makes me think maybe he just doesn’t love me. – Still Waiting in New Jersey Dear Still Waiting: Not all men are comfortable expressing their emotions verbally.

Actions speak louder than words. Many men have told women they “love” them, only to have their behavior prove otherwise.

That your boyfriend has given you three different answers to your question indicates to me that you may have been pushing him to say it. I would caution you

against that because it could push him away. Hearing the words “I love you” isn’t something a person “deserves.” It’s important that the words be genuine.

Dear Abby: When I approach someone to hug, is there a correct side to go for?

Does a relative or friend have a bearing on your choice, or does it matter if it’s a man or woman or how well you know them? Is the left side as good as the right side? – Which Side in Ohio Dear Which Side: Hugging anyone you don’t know well is a mistake because some people have an aversion to intimate contact with strangers. That said, I don’t think it matters a lot which side you “go for” – although I have heard some people bear to the left because that way their hearts are closer together.

Personally, I tend to feint to the left because I’m left-handed – but that’s just me.

Dear Abby: I had my last cigarette and drink of alcohol 50 years ago. Back then, excessive drinking, smoking, overeating or nail-biting were signs of weak will, sinfulness, bad upbringing and who knows what else.

Fortunately, over the years the pendulum swung, making it possible for liter-

ally millions of people to get into recovery for what we now know is a disease – ADDICTION. Unfortunately, the pendulum is now swinging back again. Now EVERYONE has a “disease” over which they have no control. Therefore, they have an excuse to drink too much, overeat, eat sugar while taking their insulin – the list goes on and on.

Sadly, this business of taking no responsibility for one’s own health and – worse yet – often blaming someone or something else for the problem, takes away from those who are taking responsibility for themselves.

Getting by with a third DUI, or verbally abusing your spouse, being excused for being late to work for the fourth time because of one’s “disease” all contribute to the continuation of the stigma which many of us have been fighting for so long.

Addiction IS a disease, and there are many avenues of recovery: mental, spiritual, medical, intellectual and philosophical. What they all have in common is they require a commitment to getting well and, more importantly, a determination to recover.

It is true that there are

people with serious maladies that cannot be controlled by any means. My heart goes out to them. Fortunately, they are few and far between and the medical profession is working hard to find answers for them.

Abby, I want to reinforce your dedication to promoting personal responsibility. It is desperately needed! – Roberta Meyer, Former President, National Council on Alcohol and Drug Dependence – California Dear Roberta: Your letter contains many important truths, and thank you for taking the time to write. As I have said in columns past, the first step in solving a problem is admitting there is one and deciding to do something about it. The same is true for addiction. That’s why 12-step programs are so effective. In these programs, people gain emotional support from others who are traveling the same path to recovery.

Digital fitness monitor helps healthier lifestyle Dear Dr. K: I’d like to be more active. Do you think a digital fitness monitor will help?

Dear Reader: When digital fitness monitors (DFMs) became available several years ago, I was initially skeptical.

I figured they would be the latest example of our fascination with electronic devices and that people would quickly tire of them.

Well, surveys show that some people have quickly tired of them and left them to collect dust in a drawer.

However, many folks use them consistently and swear by them. Different strokes for different folks.

DFMs come in wearable styles such as wristbands,

that you’ve reached a goal.

Most allow you to chart your progress online. Many let you virtually compete with family and friends.

But do DFMs make you watches and pendants, or more active? Research sughand-held pieces you can clip gests they do. In an analysis onto a sleeve or slip into a of 26 studies, pedometer users pocket. They monitor one or added more than 2,000 steps more things that affect your per day to their baseline over physical fitness. They also nag 18 weeks. More important, you when you’ve fallen behind they lowered their blood presyour personal goals – but it’s sure and body mass index. hard to get mad at them.

DFM prices vary widely.

DFM features may be If you’re strapped for cash, simple, tracking the numbuy a basic pedometer, which ber of steps you take or the simply counts your steps. calories you burn. Or they Once you have a DFM, may be more sophisticated, determine your baseline by capturing your heart rate and wearing the pedometer for sleep patterns. Some have three days from the time you alarms that remind you to get up until bedtime. Divide be more active, or announce the total steps taken by three,

ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff

to get an idea of your average steps per day. Each week, add 500 steps per day until you reach your goal. Many experts recommend aiming for 10,000 steps a day.

With or without a DFM, it’s a good idea to add more walking to your routine. Dr. Richard Ginsburg, a psychologist with Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital, suggests the following to sneak more steps into your day: • Get a dog. You’ll have to walk the animal at least once or twice a day.

• Consider sports. Take up golf, for example, which involves a lot of walking.

• Visit walking-only destinations. You could log a few miles at a museum, botanical

garden or amusement park.

• Window-shop at the mall.

One lap around an average mall’s upper level ranges from a quarter to a half mile.

For people who really want to adopt a healthier lifestyle, digital fitness monitors make it easier to do. Some of my patients, and my friends, seem almost obsessed with them. One of my patients has chosen not just to average 10,000 steps a day – he has to beat that number every day.

This is a healthy obsession to have!
