County Board letter sparks debate Correspondence to agency reviewing KishHealth merger pulled from meeting’s agenda

By RHONDA GILLESPIE rgillespie@shawmedia.com DeKALB – The DeKalb County Board likely won’t register any official comments to a state agency reviewing KishHealth System’s merger with Northwestern Memorial Healthcare, after a letter was removed from Wednesday’s County Board meeting agenda.

At the start of the meeting, Jones said the letter, which board Vice Chairman Tracy did not endorse the merger but Jones, R-District 1, asked to rerather said the move the letter members of the county would Health and Human Services support any Committee drafted to send to decision that the Illinois Health Facilities and would bring Services Review Board. more mental The motion passed on a 14-9 health services vote, and the letter never came Tom Matya to the county, up for the board to officially concould hurt the sider. merger plan.

The health facilities review board is the state agency reviewing the merger proposal and will decide whether to approve it. Mental health care was one of the main issues mentioned by residents during public hearings the state agency held in September on the proposed merger.

“The letters that go to that commission are really about

the merger, and our letter, the way it was written, it didn’t mention anything about the merger,” Jones said. “It didn’t support it. I personally thought it was out of place to be bringing up the mental health issue at this time.”

But County Board member Frank O’Barski, D-District 10, said he didn’t think the letter would have stopped anything.

“I don’t know for sure what the medical health board is going to do. But I can’t believe that this particular issue would torpedo a deal,” he said. “What I can say is that, in my opinion, getting us on the record as wanting quality mental health care in the county is a very important point.”

ksmith@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Fifty years ago, Sue Corrao shivered in a white dress and a red, velvet cape while she rode atop a parade float as Northern Illinois University’s 1965 homecoming queen.

It was Nov. 6, 1965. Corrao was a 21-year-old speech therapy student dating the man she would later marry. The memories from that year remain clear and uncomplicated in Corrao’s mind, and came back in exciting bursts as she relived them Thursday during the NIU homecoming parade.

“I cannot believe it’s been 50 years,” she said. “It’s wonderful to be back.”

In a nod to NIU’s 1965 homecoming theme, “Northern Lights the Way,” Thursday’s parade, “Northern Lights,” illuminated downtown DeKalb with bright floats and flashlights, glowing necklaces and light-up Hula Hoops. Based on the parade’s success, it’s likely to return next year, and perhaps years to follow,

“The way they lit up their floats with neon. It was really interesting.”

The new concept seemed to be popular among the parade-goers, including Valerie Freeman, whose kids were waving glowing light sabers near the street in anticipation for the parade to begin.

WASHINGTON – Hillary Rodham Clinton strove to close the book on the worst episode of her tenure as secretary of state Thursday, battling Republican questions in a marathon hearing that grew contentious but revealed little new about the 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya. She firmly defended her record while seeking to avoid any mishap that might damage her presidential campaign.

Pressed about events before and after the deaths of four Americans, Clinton had confrontational exchanges with several GOP lawmakers but also fielded supportive queries from Democrats. The most combative moments focused on accusations about the Obama administration’s shifting public accounts of the attacks.

However, there were few questions for the Democratic presidential front-runner about the specific events of Sept. 11, 2012, which Clinton said she continues to lose sleep over. “I have been wracking my brain about what more could have been done or should have been done,” she told the House Benghazi Committee.

The hearing, which began at 10 a.m., continued deep into the evening.

The panel’s chairman, Trey Gowdy, portrayed the investigation as focused on the facts after fellow Republicans recently described it as designed to hurt Clinton’s presidential bid. Democrats have pounced on those remarks and pointed out that the probe has now cost U.S. taxpayers more than $4.5 million and, after 17 months, lasted longer than the 1970s Watergate investigation.

Gowdy, a former federal prosecutor, said the Republicans’ efforts were not a prosecution.

Contradicting him, Rep. Adam Smith, a Democrat from Washington, told Clinton: “The purpose of this committee is to prosecute you.”

TODAY’S TALKER

Plague spread 3,000 years earlier than thought

By MARIA CHENG The Associated Press LONDON – The plague was spreading nearly 3,000 years before previously thought, scientists said after finding traces of the disease in the teeth of ancient people – a discovery that could provide clues to how dangerous diseases evolve.

To find evidence of the prehistoric infection, researchers drilled into the teeth of 101 individuals who lived in Central Asia and Europe from 2,800 to 5,000 years ago. The drilling produced a powder that the researchers examined for DNA from plague bacteria. They found it in samples from seven people.

Before the study, the earliest evidence of the plague was from A.D. 540, said Simon Rasmussen of the Technical University of Denmark.

He and colleagues found it as early as 2,800 B.C. “We were very surprised to find it 3,000 years before it was supposed to exist,” said Rasmussen, one of the study authors. The research was published online Thursday in the journal, Cell.

Rasmussen said the plague they found was a different strain from the one that caused the three known pandemics, including the Black Death that swept across Medieval Europe. In contrast to later strains, including the one estimated to

So it was probably less able to infect people over wide regions.

But Rasmussen said knowing that plague exist-

ed thousands of years earlier than had been believed might explain some unsolved historical mysteries, including the “Plague of Athens,” a horrifying unknown epidemic that struck the Greek capital in 430 B.C. It killed up to 100,000 people during the Peloponnesian War.

“People have been speculating about what this was, like was this measles or typhus, but it could well have been plague,” Rasmussen said.

He said tracking how the plague evolved from being an intestinal infection to “one of the most deadly diseases ever encountered by humans” could help scientists predict the disease’s future path.

“Typically, things get less virulent with time, but that’s not always the case,” said Hendrik Poinar, a molecular evolutionary geneticist at McMaster University in Canada who was not part of the study. He noted that diseases could acquire new features – including lethality – relatively quickly.

Other experts said it was unlikely that plague would ever pose as great a threat as it has in the past, especially since it is now largely treatable.

“It might be that (plague) will eventually burn itself out,” said Brendan Wren, dean of the faculty of infectious and tropical diseases at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.

Wren said other diseases like leprosy have also lost genes over time and are now less able to sicken people.

“The evidence is that (plague) is not going to come back big time, but it’s hard to predict what the bacteria will do,” he said. “They are great survivors.”

Judge reviewing phone records in Hastert case

By MICHAEL TARM The Associated Press CHICAGO – What a onetime business associate told the FBI about former U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert was the focus of a status hearing Thursday in a 2-year-old lawsuit that alleges the Illinois Republican improperly used a government-funded office for private business after he left Congress.

U.S. District Judge Charles Kocoras told attorneys that he will examine phone and other records of J. David John’s communications with the FBI behind closed doors before deciding whether to grant a request by Hastert’s legal team to see the documents as they challenge the plaintiff’s claims.

The civil suit against Hastert is unrelated to a criminal case that alleges he broke banking laws and lied to the

FBI after agreeing in 2010 to pay someone $3.5 million in cash to hide past misconduct

by Hastert. Thursday’s hearing in the civil case came a week before the 73-year-old is scheduled to change his plea to guilty in his criminal case.

The civil suit said John began working Dennis with Hastert Hastert on business projects after he resigned from Congress in 2008. It said John has firsthand knowledge that Hastert used a taxpayer-financed office in Yorkville – a Chicago suburb where Hastert once coached high school wrestling – for private business in violation of the Federal False Claims Act. John sued Hastert after a Chicago Tribune investigation in 2012 first put the spotlight

on the issue.

The suit said John brought the civil action on behalf of the United States. It asks the court to force Hastert to repay tens of thousands of dollars back to the government. John could also get a percentage of any judgment.

A July filing by Hastert’s lawyers denied the allegations in the civil suit, saying John failed to offer “a single false or fraudulent invoice, statement, wage contract or claim that was actually submitted to the government” by Hastert.

John’s lawyer, John Muldoon, said outside court Thursday that his client’s communications with the FBI in 2011 were unrelated to the criminal charges against Hastert. Neither the judge nor any of the attorneys at the status hearing mentioned Hastert’s criminal case, which is assigned to a different judge in the same Chicago federal courthouse.

However, Kocoras did appear to acknowledge the heightened attention to the civil case because it involved the former speaker.

“This case has more than its share of sensitivities and unusual aspects,” the judge said, without elaborating.

The lawsuit alleges John spoke with an FBI agent on Aug. 30, 2011, specifically telling the agent Hastert was using the federally funded staff, office supplies and cars for personal business. It cites other communications with agents.

Kocoras said in August that the question of whether John’s lawsuit can continue hinges – at least in part – on whether he called the FBI specifically about the alleged misuse of government funds or something else. His suit may not have standing if he didn’t make the allegation to the FBI before suing.

Senate bill could cut nonviolent drug offenders’ sentences

By MARY CLARE JALONICK The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Nonviolent drug offenders could be eligible for shorter prison sentences under legislation approved by a Senate panel Thursday, as Congress took initial steps to change the nation’s criminal justice system.

On a vote of 15-5, the Judiciary Committee approved a bill to give judges discretion to give lesser sentences than federal mandatory minimums in some cases. The measure would eliminate mandatory life sentences for three-time, nonviolent drug offenders, reducing minimum sentences for those offenders to 25 years. It also would create programs to help prisoners suc-

Texas Sen. John Cornyn, the No. 2 Republican in the Senate, and Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin, the No. 2 Democrat, are also supporters.

The legislation also has the backing of the Obama administration and former Attorney General Michael Mukasey, who served under President George W. Bush.

The aims of the bill are to make the sentencing system fairer, reduce recidivism and AP file photo contain rising prison costs. The Judiciary Committee Chairman Sen.

President Barack Obama praised the legislation at an event on criminal justice issues at the White House Thursday.

He said “the moment is here” to make changes.

“My hope coming out of all these efforts, including the legislation, is that we put an emphasis on what works and we’re not blinded by ideologies and we’re not blinded by fear,” Obama said.

The bill comes as disparate voices – from Obama and the ACLU to the conservative Koch Industries – agree the current system is broken. In 1980, the federal prison population was less than 25,000. Today, it is more than 200,000.

Pumpkin Festival judges choose Pick of the Patch

By RHONDA GILLESPIE rgillespie@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – The gourds that Cole Alan Peterson transformed into a green, eerie, bumpy-faced witch – with accompanying black “pumpkin cats” – was deemed the 2015 Sycamore Pumpkin Festival’s Pick of the Patch.

The Sandwich youngster used the “rough” skin from several gourds to create the wickedly creative spectacle. The green sorceress was outfitted in a signature cone hat, purple cape and greenand-black striped socks. Peterson’s entry is one of more than 1,000 decorated pumpkins you can see on the front lawn of the DeKalb County Courthouse today through Sunday during the Sycamore Pumpkin Festival.

The pumpkin decorating contest draws upon the festival’s roots – local resident Wally Thurow started the fall celebration with a small display of pumpkins on his front lawn.

Years later, in 1962, the Sycamore Lions Club took over sponsoring the event and it has become a community mainstay. Lion Ed Kuhn helped coordinate judging for this year’s contest. He said this year there were a record 1,158 entries, and dozens of them were winners.

“Wally came up with the idea, Lions Club came up with the manpower,” Kuhn said. “And we give the kids a place to be creative, and give them a venue to display it to the public.”

Pick of the Patch is the top prize among all of the first-place winners among the children up to age 17.

Peterson will receive a $10 prize.

It reportedly took Joel Peck, of Sycamore, more than six hours to carve Chewbacca’s face into one pumpkin, and Darth Vader’s into another. The force was with him

and his effort, as he earned the President’s Award – the top prize among the adult entries.

The contest draws young and old, and scores of participants crank up their creative juices to turn fall’s ubiquitous veggie into a work of art. From scary spiders to colorful superheroes, and popular characters to custom made ones, the decorated pumpkins on display outside the DeKalb County Courthouse on State Street in downtown Sycamore demonstrate school children’s, community service organizations’ and other participants’ creativity.

“It’s awesome,” said Lisa Lynch, a teacher at Camelot Education’s Northwest Center for Autism in DeKalb.

The school won third place in the Organization or Group (Youth) category and will get a trophy.

Lynch said the school turned a “Fab Friday” activity into a chance for some of its students to turn the pumpkins that Wiltse’s Farm donated into a patch full of superheroes.

She said for the students, winning, “definitely motivates them more to be positive.”

Sycamore Middle School sixth-grader Trevor Bredlau said he loves music – especially rock.

He channeled his love for the band AC/DC into a rock star pumpkin – and a second-place prize.

“I’ve [participated] every year since I was born,” said Trevor, who is 11. “I just like it.”

His younger brother, Thomas, also won a second-place for his pumpkin disguised as a airplane.

Big brother said he didn’t help the North Grove Elementary School third-grader with his decoration.

Both of them will get $8 each in prize money.

The final competition, largest pumpkin, will take place Saturday.

Cole Alan Peterson’s pumpkins, submitted in the Weird, Ugly & Scary category, won the Pick of the Patch on Thursday at this year’s Sycamore Pumpkin Festival.

Lawsuit questioning DeKalb’s University Village vote on hold

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN bkeeperman@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Two DeKalb property owners are putting their lawsuit against the city on pause in anticipation the city attorney will explain a recent City Council vote on University Village.

On Thursday, DeKalb County Judge William Brady again heard the case that alleges the DeKalb City Council’s Aug. 24 vote to rezone DeKalb’s low-income housing complex, University Village, was improper. Property owners John McKeon and Mason Properties question whether Mayor John Rey should have voted and whether there were enough votes to constitute a majority.

The city has asked Brady to dismiss the lawsuit, but the hearing didn’t last long before Mason and McKeon asked to halt their case until further notice.

McKeon’s attorney Mi-

chael Coghlan said the case could be reinstated within the next year.

“The city’s motion to dismiss will be pending, our opportunity to respond would be pending,” he said. “... It would pick up where it left off.”

The city has approved rezoning of University Village, a move that would allow it to be rebuilt at its current density of about 18 units an acre in the event it was destroyed.

That is well above the maximum density of 12 units an acre allowed by current zoning codes.

The zoning change would clear the way for Seattle-based Security Properties to buy the 534-unit low-income complex off North Annie Glidden Road and invest $21 million in updating and rehabbing it.

Coghlan said he would expect an explanation of the vote at City Council’s meeting Monday, because at the end of the council’s Oct. 12 meeting,

Rey asked City Attorney Dean Frieders to respond to 6th Ward Alderman Dave Baker’s questions on the vote. Baker had asked to be told what law made the council’s 4-3 vote Aug. 24 legal.

But the answer may not be coming as expected.

“At this point, I don’t have a reason to anticipate that it would be discussed at the City Council meeting,” Frieders said Thursday. “Certainly there have been questions raised by an alderman and we will respond to those questions. … I’m not sure the exact format of the response.”

Security Properties Attorney Aaron Reinke said the developer is in the process of securing funding for the proposed $21 million redevelopment of the housing complex.

“We are still pursing the project,” he said. “We have every intention of redeveloping that property in accordance with the development agreement.”

The fire remains under investigation.

DeKALB – Investigators are still looking for the cause of a structure fire that damaged an abandoned farm house Wednesday night and said they can’t yet rule out malicious intent.

Firefighters were called at 7:14 p.m. Wednesday to a house engulfed in flames near the intersection of First Street and Kishwaukee Lane on the city’s north side.

Multiple agencies, including the DeKalb County Emergency Service Disaster Agency, worked together overnight to put out the flames, which were visible from at least a mile away, according to a news release.

The house, at 2901 N. First St., DeKalb, was overgrown with plants and trees and had no nearby water supply, which forced the DeKalb Fire Department to call for its airport rescue crash truck to contain the fire, according to the news release.

The fire began inside the house and caused about $30,000 in damage, although an attached garage and breezeway were left in tact.

Chamber to recognize accomplished women

DeKALB – The DeKalb Chamber of Commerce will celebrate accomplished women and DeKalb locals at its 26th annual ATHENA Award reception Tuesday.

The reception will begin at 6 p.m. in the Lincoln Ballroom at the Red Roof Inn & Suites in DeKalb.

Five women have been nominated for this year’s ATHENA Award, which recognizes women for their business and professional accomplishments, community service, and work as a strong female role model, according to a news release.

An additional three women have been nominated for the Women of Accomplishment Award, which recognizes individuals who fit ATHENA Award criteria but who are retired or no longer working.

Tickets are $30 each and reservations can be made by calling the DeKalb Chamber of Commerce at 815-756-6306 or online at www.dekalb.org.

CRYSTAL LAKE – Officials of a suburban Chicago school district said controversial bleachers built in violation of local zoning laws will be coming down this month.

Homeowners who live near the Crystal Lake South High School football field sued Community High School District 155 after 55-foot-tall bleachers were built in 2013. They claimed the bleachers were erected without proper permits from the city, were too close to property lines and invaded their privacy.

The Illinois Supreme Court ruled last month the bleachers must come down.

The district’s board voted Tuesday on a conceptual plan that would cut seating capacity on the west side of the field from about 2,500 to about 950. However, new seating would be built on the east side of the field.

A McHenry County judge must approve the plan.

Russia shows military might in Syria, also pushes diplomacy

By VLADIMIR ISACHENKOV The Associated Press HEMEIMEEM AIR BASE, Syria – As Russia unleashed waves of warplanes Thursday from this air base in western Syria to pound militant targets, President Vladimir Putin pushed diplomatic efforts with the West, stressing the need “to consider each other as allies in a common fight.”

Russia put its military muscle on display, bringing Moscow-based reporters to view a day’s worth of fighter jets roaring off a runway in dozens of sorties as helicopter gunships patrolled the edges of the sprawling facility.

Russian Foreign Minister

Sergey Lavrov and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry will meet today in Vienna, joined by their counterparts from Saudi Arabia and Turkey, both staunch critics of President Bashar Assad.

Lavrov said he wanted to provide “firsthand information” about the Russian air campaign against Islamic State militants in Syria, but also talk about a future political process in the country that is now in its fifth year of civil war.

The U.S. and other Western powers have questioned Russia’s primary motive in the airstrikes that began Sept. 30 and have backed up a Syrian government offensive in central and northwestern regions.

Moscow said it is fighting IS and other extremist groups like the al-Qaida-linked Nusra Front, but Washington and others said the intervention is to prop up Assad and is likely to fan the violence.

The intervention is also allowing Russia to portray itself as a major global player, projecting its military power far from its borders.

Assad met Tuesday with Putin in a surprise visit to Moscow to discuss the military operations. In a speech Thursday at a conference in Russia’s southern resort of Sochi, Putin said Syria’s leaders “should establish working contacts with those opposition forces that are ready for dialogue.”

5 suspects arraigned on murder charges in frat hazing death

By MICHAEL RUBINKAM The Associated Press POCONO PINES, Pa. – Five men accused of participating in or failing to stop a brutal fraternity hazing ritual that killed a New York City college student were arraigned Thursday on murder charges, identified by police as the most culpable of 37 suspects in the case.

The suspects, all from the New York borough of Queens, appeared in a northeastern Pennsylvania courtroom nearly two years after the death of Chun “Michael” Deng. A magistrate set bail at $500,000 for four of the suspects and $150,000 for the fifth. All but one posted bond.

Police said fraternity members at Pi Delta Psi physically abused Deng, a Baruch College student, then tried to cover it up as the 19-year-old lay dying in their rented house in the Pocono Mountains, about 100 miles west of New York.

Defense lawyers called Deng’s death a tragedy but said their clients didn’t intend to kill him, characterizing it as a fraternity prank gone horribly awry.

“They’re college kids,” said Robert Saurman, attorney for defendant Kenny Kwan, 26.

“Something bad happened.

They did not know how to react. That is not the same as a crime.”

Kwan left the courtroom and broke down crying ahead of his arraignment. He was consoled by another defendant, Charles Lai, 24.

The other suspects arraigned Thursday were Raymond Lam, 22; Sheldon Wong, 23; and Daniel Li, 23. Each faces charges of third-degree murder, involuntary manslaughter, aggravated and simple assault, hindering apprehension, hazing and conspiracy.

Lai and Kwan also face drug charges.

The fraternity itself is

charged with murder, and 32 other suspects face less serious charges.

“The fraternity obviously is disappointed, vastly, at the allegations in the criminal complaints, that their members would engage in conduct like this,” said Wes Niemoczynski, Pi Delta Psi’s attorney, who represented the fraternity at its arraignment. The fraternity could face a fine if convicted.

Police said fraternity members blindfolded Deng, forced him to wear a heavy backpack and then repeatedly tackled him during the hazing ritual, known as glass ceiling. Deng fell unconscious and was carried inside the house while fraternity members changed his clothes and searched online for information about his symptoms, waiting an hour before taking him to the hospital, according to court documents.

Deng, who suffered a brain injury, died a day later.

Excitement, friendship, camaraderie are recalled • PARADE

Continued from page A1 “It was wonderful to be a part of it when they were dedicating the stadium,” she said. “It was very special. If I wasn’t the homecoming queen that year, I wouldn’t be here tonight. We’re very, very honored to be able to do this tonight.”

In fact, it was the stadium’s re-dedication that pushed the parade back into November, making it a memorably chilly day for Corrao and 1965 homecoming court member Dennis Twitty. “[I remember] a lot of ex-

citement, great friendship, great camaraderie – very cold,” Twitty said. “We were just freezing at the celebrations afterward and before.”

But it’s the togetherness of the university and the DeKalb community that senior homecoming court member Bernadette Chatman will remember.

“I really liked it because I feel like we’re supposed to be showing our Huskie pride and yeah, we can be doing that during the day, but with the lights – we are the light of DeKalb, so I feel like it’s pretty cool we’re ‘shining our light’ and the rest of the community got to see it,” Chatman said.

Rachael and Richard Jones and their daughter, Abigail, 1, watch the Northern Lights Homecoming Parade pass by Thursday on College Avenue in DeKalb.

Letter indicated current local options not ‘desirable’ • MENTAL HEALTH

Continued from page A1 Jones said he discussed the letter ahead of Wednesday’s meeting with Tom Matya, chairman of KishHealth’s board, who said it could be ruinous.

“I showed Tom the letter, and they were very concerned that the letter could seriously derail their merger efforts,” Jones said. “The last thing the board wanted to do would be to hinder any efforts of the merger. I know they’ve been working on this for a long time.”

The letter, which was to be signed by County Board Chairman Mark Pietrowski, said the DeKalb County Board “supports and encourages” actions that would “strengthen mental health services to the citizens of DeKalb County.”

It goes on to indicate that the current local options available are not “desirable” and explains that the county needs a hospital facility that attracts psychiatrists who

would set up practice here.

“I think [the letter] would maybe have been confusing.

We want to make this process go as smoothly and as quickly as possible,” said Matya.

“The letter really does not have anything to do, specifically, with the merger.”

He said it would be better for the county to wait until after the merger to discuss more mental health services.

County board members like Jeffery Metzger, R-Dist.

12 said their constituents are looking forward to the merge and possibly having access to more health care.

“I would hate to jeopardize that now,” he said.

Board member Misty Haji-Sheikh, D-7th District, said the door would close Oct. 28 for the County Board to have anything official to say about the merger.

But after the the letter was pulled from the agenda, it’s likely there won’t be another to replace it. Matya said last month’s public hearings were unexpected, but not having a letter from the county would not be unusual.

Jim Jordan accused Clinton of deliberately misleading public • BENGHAZI

Continued from page A1 In one tense moment, Republican Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio accused Clinton of deliberately misleading the public by linking the Benghazi violence at first to an Internet video insulting the Muslim Prophet Muhammad.

Clinton, stone-faced for much of the hearing, smiled in bemusement as Jordan cut her off from answering. Eventually given the chance to comment, she said only that “some” people had wanted to use the video to justify the attack that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans, and that she rejected that justification.

The argument went to the origins of the disagreement over Benghazi and how President Barack Obama and his top aides represented the attack in the final weeks of his re-election campaign. And it reflected some of the raw emotion the deadly violence continues to provoke, something Clinton will have to

face over the next year of her White House bid even if the Republican-led special investigation loses steam.

For Clinton, the political theater offered opportunity and potential pitfalls. It gave her a high-profile platform to show her self-control and command of foreign policy.

But it also left her vulnerable to claims that she helped politicize the Benghazi tragedy.

“There were probably a number of different motivations” for the attack, Clinton said, describing a time when competing strands of intelligence were being received and no clear picture had yet emerged. Speaking directly to Jordan, she said: “I’m sorry that it doesn’t fit your narrative. I can only tell you what the facts were.”

As the hearing neared its conclusion, the Republican questioning became increasingly aggressive.

Rep. Martha Roby of Alabama, however, drew laughter from Clinton by asking if she was alone “the whole night” of the attacks after returning home.

Do your jobs: Govern Illinois

Energy innovation equals lower utility bills

To the Editor: Illinois is a leader in energy innovation. For proof, look no further than the ambitious smart campaign launched recently to put 1 million smart thermostats in homes across Northern Illinois over the next five years.

A smart thermostat brings control over home energy literally into customer hands. With a simple touch, customers can adjust the temperature from the convenience of a smartphone, tablet, or home computer. That means families can enjoy heating and cooling when they need it, and eliminate wasted gas and electricity costs when they don’t.

The devices even “learn” customer behavior over time to automatically adjust temperature settings without having to lift a finger. Saving energy has never been simpler.

Northern Illinois residents are now eligible for up to $120 in utility rebates for ecobee3 and Nest Learning Thermostats, cutting the price tag of the thermostats nearly in half. With the rebates, the devices, which can cut home heating and cooling costs by up to 20 percent, can potentially pay for themselves within two years

– and then go on to generate hundreds of dollars in savings subsequently. With the goal of reaching 1 million new households, we now have the potential to save nearly $120 billion in energy costs across Illinois.

This initiative – a unique partnership among the utilities, thermostat manufacturers, and advocacy groups – is the largest of its kind in the nation, and makes advanced money-saving technology affordable and accessible to a whole new class of customers. Illinois is truly leading the charge toward a smarter, more energy-efficient tomorrow.

For more information on the smart thermostat rebates, visit www.ComEd.com or CUB’s Energy Efficiency page at www.

12 ideas to break Springfield budget impasse To the Editor: Please consider another blustery letter on the subject of the the state budget, and the dire need to move at any observable speed, other than backwards.

We’re sick tired of the gridlock!

Educators, agency directors, park and recreation planners, taxpayers, all of us have had it. There needs to be a faster attempt to jumpstart something because at the moment, nothing much is happening to break the political impasse. The “whoblinks-first” showdown has worn us to a frazzle. I propose the following nontraditional 12-point method to break through: Lock Gov. Bruce Rauner out of his office. He can sleep in. Lock out state politicians from both sides of the aisle. Turn off the heat, electric, and water systems in the state capitol and state office buildings in Springfield and Chicago, and suburban offices.

Automatically cut the wages and benefits of state politicians by 50 percent for 3 months. Lay off all state workers who mop floors, dump trash, and clean toilets for state office buildings everywhere. Shut down all state offices and functions for one month. Send a band of willing Democrats and Republicans to a fast food restaurant near the capitol to hammer out the state programs that should be funded first. (The capitol building cafeteria is on lockdown.) An Illinois state checkbook must be available, some envelopes, a cou-

ple of pens that work and some books of “forever” stamps. Let them meet for check-signing and lunch at Hardee’s on Jefferson or Subway on Adams St., but on their own nickel. Begin funding in the following order of importance: state-funded social services, counseling, and state agency programs; state community colleges; public education; state parks and monuments, and roads and bridges. Require three signatures on outgoing state checks: comptroller, one Republican, and one Democratic.

Re-hire the state capitol employees who mop floors, and include an automatic 10 percent pay increase. Turn on the utilities in all state buildings. (See No. 3) Re-open the capitol doors to state Democrat and Republican office-holders and their office staffs. Re-open the restaurant in the Capitol building with a full staff.

12. Re-admit the governor to his office for the remainder of his first and only term.

None of this is likely to be taken seriously, but these 12 points are way ahead of the current stalemate in Springfield.

Let’s give the kids a holiday from divorce Halloween is just around the corner, which means we’re on the cusp of another season of anxiety and misery for too many children of divorce.

For the past few years, I’ve tried to time this column for right before Thanksgiving, but an increasing number of divorce lawyers tell me that’s too late. We should start talking about who comes first – hint: they’re always younger and usually shorter than the squabbling grown-ups – around Halloween, which is often the trigger date for holiday visitation negotiations.

The same two parents who used to argue over which of them would have to traipse through the neighborhood with the kids for trick-or-treating now go to the mat over who gets to deprive whom of even a glimpse of their children’s costumes. Think of it as the warmup round for the all-out war to come over Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa and New Year’s.

And as any divorce lawyer can tell you, the more cherished the holiday tradition the more vulnerable it is to revenge parenting.

I am not referring to parents whose primary concerns begin and end with their children’s well-being. Bless them, every last one of them, for they shall know their children’s love and gratitude for the rest of their days.

My concern is for children whose parents tend to be either newly separated or eternally embattled. Aside from the dangerous parent, the only thing worse for a child than a parent reeling from the fresh wounds of a broken vow is one who has chosen to live out the rest of his or her life brandishing old injuries. In either drama, the worst roles always fall to the children.

VIEWS Connie Schultz Primary parents can get territorial, acting as if they are doling out a favor or two rather than abiding by a court order.

Nonprimary parents can succumb to a bottomless pit of despair, looking for slights that don’t exist. In both instances, the parents make the children feel responsible for the supposed grown-ups’ self-esteem.

You know how frustrating it can be to try to calm an adult who doesn’t want to feel better? Now imagine trying to do that when you’re 6.

All the while, children watch and learn.

Boy, do they learn. In time, they will figure out who lied and who didn’t – and who was and wasn’t willing to put them first.

There’s no redo for that. They also absorb the harshest lessons of the marriage their parents modeled. Good people can fall out of love. Good parents contain the damage so their children can grow into adults with a fighting chance for happiness.

A special request on behalf of all the children too afraid to ask: Please take them holiday shopping for the ex-spouse, who will never be their ex-parent.

I’ve seen this heartbreak play out time and again. Children want to be part of the gift giving, too. If you can’t bring yourself to help them make a present and you can’t be trusted to shop with them unless you travel with your own exorcist, ask a friend or relative to do it.

I’ve lived long enough to know there is yet another good reason to raise your chil-

dren in a bitter-free zone: One day, you will want to know your children’s children.

There is nothing like falling in love with your grandchildren. Just when you think you’ve seen and felt it all, you discover a whole chunk of your heart that was hibernating until they showed up.

Last weekend, my husband and I welcomed our fourth grandchild. She is perfect because she is ours – you know how that goes – and it would never occur to either of us to distinguish our relationship to her by bloodline. We love her mother and her father, and now we love her.

We married almost 12 years ago, each of us escorted by two grown children. The way we see it, we have four children, four children-in-law and four grandchildren, with a fifth on the way.

The only time we have to consider the particulars is when someone outside our family attempts to sort our children like poker chips. There is no faster route to my bad side than to ask me which grandchildren are “really” mine. Immediately, those offenders’ names go into that file folder in my head titled “What Is Wrong With People?”

Most children want to love everybody in their family, and they rely on us adults to show them how. We are their role models, always.

What kind of role model shall we be?

The latest local reminder of Illinois’ budget problems has come from the Voluntary Action Center.

VAC said that a lack of state funding for its Meals on Wheels program is going to lead it to do less for people in need.

VAC officials said that starting Nov. 3, people in DeKalb, Sycamore, Cortland, Sandwich, Malta and Somonauk will no longer have nutritious meals delivered to them by volunteer drivers on Tuesdays.

The VAC already reduced service in rural areas that require paid drivers.

Meals on Wheels serves from 600 to 700 people a year in DeKalb County; most of them are 80 or older and have a fixed income.

Those who have volunteered to deliver Meals on Wheels know the program’s importance. The people it serves often are homebound, and the nutritious meals it provides are critical to their well-being. Contact with the driver, who will often bring the newspaper along with them if a client would like one, is often one of the only forms of socialization clients have throughout their day.

Now they’ll have to make do with that service one less day a week.

This decision comes after one earlier this month

by Fox Valley Older Adult Services, whose leaders said the lack of state funds forced the closure of adult day-care facilities in DeKalb and Aurora this month.

We do not object to the concept of state budget cuts. However, we do object to leaving those cuts to circumstance.

That is precisely what has happened through our leaders’ refusal to reach an agreement on a state budget. State workers are being paid. So too are the very lawmakers who have failed to do their jobs for the people they represent.

Gov. Bruce Rauner may have declined a salary, but his highly paid administrative team is still seeing paychecks.

But while court orders and appropriations bills have committed about 90 percent of the budget – legislators, state workers, public schools all are funded – the vulnerable people are receiving nothing.

A budget that makes no reductions to 90 percent of state spending and then completely cuts off services for senior citizens, the disabled, 911 dispatch centers, domestic violence victims and the mentally ill – among others – is not one that most people would choose for our state.

Yet it is what our leaders have chosen through their inaction and refusal to compromise. While the unpaid bills pile up, the state’s pension systems, its legislative boundary drawing, and its workers compensation rules all go on without reform.

This is the choice that our leaders are making for Illinois , and it needs to end. Some people now are pointing to Jan. 1 as a potential date for a new budget to be approved.

We prefer not to imagine what other dominoes will fall if there is no resolution before then.

Illinoisans are tired of this self-imposed misery.

It is time our leaders did what we elected them to do: Govern our state.

ANOTHER VIEW

Banks shouldn’t pay to fix U.S. highways In trying to shore up ailing roads and bridges without raising taxes, Congress has lately been moved to inspired bouts of creativity. The Senate has considered selling petroleum reserves, raiding the Sport Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund, and denying Social Security payments to fugitives (don’t ask).

One other measure deserves scrutiny. The highway bill the Senate passed in July would slash the annual dividend that’s paid to big banks on the stock they’re required to hold as members of the Federal Reserve System, to 1.5 percent from 6 percent. The $17 billion or so this would save over 10 years would be spent on transportation.

This makes little sense as policy making, sets a terrible precedent and – not least – would do nothing to solve the long-term problem of paying for roads.

The dividend rate the Fed pays was set by law in 1913. The banks’ shares can’t be sold, traded or offered as collateral. The money used to purchase them – the equivalent of 6 percent of a bank’s capital, with half on call– can’t be used for loans or other business purposes. And buying shares is mandatory for membership.

Compensation for these shares, then, is appropriate. If Congress thinks 6 percent is too generous, a fairer option might be to tie the dividend to the rate paid on 10-year U.S. Treasuries, which would rise and fall with the market. But simply cutting the dividend to 1.5 percent amounts to an arbitrary new tax to pay for unrelated spending.

Worse, no one knows exactly what effect it would have. Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen warned in July that it could have “unintended consequences” and “deserves serious thought and analysis.”

Yet Congress hasn’t even studied the issue. Here’s one worry: To compensate for the lost dividend revenue – the equivalent of about 4 percent of the industry’s annual profit, by one estimate– banks could take bigger risks and pass on costs to customers. Some might consider exiting the system altogether.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

CUBS

High hopes for next year Epstein lays out offseason plan

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com CHICAGO – The moment the final, bitter out of the Cubs’ 2015 playoff run was secured by the New York Mets on Wednesday night, the heat was turned up on 2016.

And the pressure was on to do it again. But even better.

Specifically, it’s on the front

office to – as Theo Epstein has repeatedly said – “Not screw it up.”

And mostly that’s about building enough starting pitching depth to keep climbing the NL Central ladder and to better withstand a team such as the Mets next time they see October.

It’s the obvious, highest priority of the offseason for a front office that already was far down the road in planning and targets even before Jason Hammel was shelled in the first inning and booed off the field in Wednesday’s elimination game at Wrigley Field.

“It’s something we can attack

with a vengeance this offseason,” said team president Epstein during a media session Thursday in which he outlined needs and goals looking ahead at 2016.

“I’m not sure what direction we’re going to go yet,” he said of free agency or trades. “Freeagent pitching is a necessary evil at times and is only evil because it’s inherently risky. But it’s necessary because you can make such an impact with your starting staff right away by fishing in those waters. We did it last year and we’re glad we did.”

Ye and Sullivan move on to Day 2

STERLING AT SYCAMORE, 7:15 P.M. TODAY

Postseason tune-up With a berth ensured, Spartans look for momentum-building win

By EDDIE CARIFIO ecarifio@shawmedia.com

By DAILY CHRONICLE sports@daily-chronicle.com Sycamore girls tennis players Angelina Ye and Kathryn Sullivan had to earn their wins Thursday on the first day of the state tournament.

Both players needed to pull off a win in the third set of one of their matches – for Sullivan to keep her state tournament alive, and for Ye to stay in the championship side of the bracket.

They are the only remaining area players Angelina Ye left in the state tournament, with DeKalb’s Mary Ellen Green and the Sycamore doubles teams of Kelli Johnson and Neriah Kathryn Garbes and Sullivan Jackie Cole and Laurynn Mize all dropping both of their matches Thursday.

After breezing to two straight victories – 6-0, 6-1 and 6-2, 6-1 – Ye defeated Gaby Schoenberg (Grant), 3-6, 7-5, 6-1, in the third round. Ye, who won the sectional tournament for the Spartans and is 24-0 on the season, will face Tiffany Chen (Naperville Central), who has only lost one game in her three victories during the state tournament. “[Chen] evidently wasn’t in the tournament last year for whatever reason,” Sycamore coach Dave Hillmer said. “[Ye] knows her and she thinks she might have an edge.”

Ye, a three-time Daily Chronicle Girls Tennis Player of the Year, lost in the consolation quarterfinals last season.

Monica Synett – msynett@shawmedia.com

Sycamore’s Bryce Hansen returns a kickoff in the first quarter against Morris on Oct. 16 in Morris. With playoff berth in hand, the Spartans are looking for momentum-building win tonight against Sterling.

SYCAMORE – The last time the Sterling football team lost a game was Week 4 against Morris.

Sycamore football coach Joe Ryan said a lot can change in five weeks – after all, his Spartans were 1-3 at that point.

The Spartans haven’t lost since and travel to Sterling (71) for a Northern Illinois Big 12 crossover match tonight against the Warriors in the regular-season finale for both teams.

Ryan said there wasn’t anything he saw in the Ster- Inside ling-Morris game that Week 9 game he feels the preview capsules Spartans on Page B2.

(5-3) can exploit, rather just a bad day for the Warriors.

“I don’t think Sterling played very well and it’s one of those games,” Ryan said. “I don’t think it’s indicative of how they’re going to play. They just didn’t play very well. That was Week 4. That was ages ago.”

The teams met in the regular-season finale last year, with the then-4-4 Spartans needing a win in Sycamore to make the postseason. They won, 21-18, and then won their first two playoff games.

Ryan said the momentum that comes from winning a finale is huge. It sparked a run last year in snapping an untimely two-game losing streak, and this year would be a fifth straight win going into the playoffs, which begin Oct. 30.

“You want to play your best ball at the end of the year, and we’re going to have to play really well to be in the game with them,” Ryan said. “They’re playing really well. Their defense flies around. They have a lot of skill offensively. It’s

NIU FOOTBALL NOTES

Cheren returns to practice this week

By JESSE SEVERSON jseverson@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Northern Illinois football coach Rod Carey said freshman linebacker Renard Cheren is back on the practice field this week after missing Saturday’s game against Miami (Ohio) with a foot injury.

He has started all six games he’s played and is tied for fourth on the team with 36 tackles – to go with 2.5 tackles for loss and a sack. However, sophomore linebacker Bobby Jones had a big game filling in as the Huskies’ starter, winning the Mid-American Conference Defensive Player of the Week honor by having a team-high 13 tackles and had two tackles for loss and a sack.

“The first thing you do is look at who’s healthy. That’s No. 1,” Carey said on who would get more playing time in

Next vs. Eastern Michigan, 2:30 p.m. Saturday, ESPN3, AM-1360, 98.9-FM Saturday’s homecoming game against Eastern Michigan. “That will dictate roles more than anything else. Bobby played great, and deservedly so with the accolades he’s gotten.”

Carey said Wednesday that Cheren looked much better, health-wise, and is optimistic he will play Saturday.

Carey also said offensive lineman Josh Ruka, who has been out since the Murray State game, would get back onto the practice field on this week.

Update on safety against Miami: After electing to defer to the second half in Saturday’s 45-12 victory at Miami (Ohio),

NIU started the third quarter with a safety when it was ruled Aregeros Turner went into the field of play before going back into the end zone. Carey said he later was told the call, which was reviewed and upheld during the game, was wrong.

“I got a ruling back from the refs and they said they blew the call,” Carey said.

“I turned it in because it was momentum (changing) and the review ref completely agreed with me. It should have been a touchback or spotted on the halfyard line, but not a safety.”

Last Saturday game: The contest against Eastern Michigan will be the last Saturday game of the regular season for NIU. After the game against the Eagles, the Huskies will have 10 days off before playing their first weeknight game Nov. 3 at No. 19 Toledo.

Prep football preview capsules: Week 9 DeKalb (7-1) at Geneseo (7-1)

Game time: 7:15 p.m. today Last week: The Barbs beat Yorkville, 28-21, to finish 4-0 in the Northern Illinois Big 12 East. The Maple Leafs trounced Ottawa, 42-0, rebounding from a 17-14 loss at Sterling.

Last meeting: In a battle of undefeated teams, the Maple Leafs won the season finale, 21-7, last year in DeKalb.

Scouting the Maple Leafs: A dominant force the past few years in the NI Big 12 West, the loss to the Warriors will keep them from a conference crown. They grind out their offense on the ground, getting an 84-yard score from Jordan Jackson last week as part of his 87-yard performance, while Cade Humphries rushed for 65 yards, including a 30-yard score.

“Defensively, they are a really strong team,” DeKalb coach Matt Weckler said. “I think that’s the strength of them this year. Their staff does their thing day in and day out. They will be prepared for everything we are going to try and do. It’s going to come down to whoever makes plays in crucial times.

They are going to run their system and not deviate it from it. We have to be able to stop what they do well: running their dives, double dives and counters.”

Last week was the fifth shutout for the Maple Leafs, who are 2-1 when giving up points – they beat Yorkville, 30-6, and Eisenhower, 48-26. On average, they are outscoing their opponents, 39.4-6.1.

What’s at stake: Neither team is likely to be a No. 1 seed, but the Barbs could end up with a less-than-stellar seed with a loss. They have the fewest playoff points of the current 7-1 teams projected for Class 6A. It also would be a measure of payback for the Barbs for last year’s regular-season ending loss.

“This is just like every other game we’re preparing for,” Weckler said. “It’s no different from Week 1, the Sycamore game, homecoming or anything else. The philosophy we try and preach to the kids is that you have to play every game like it could be our last.”

Running back David Long enters the game with 863 rushing yards and is likely to end up as the area’s leading rusher – he has a 123-yard edge on the closest challenge, Kaneland quarterback Jake Marczuk. Receiver Cole Tucker enters with the area’s receiving yards lead with 726, an 85-yard edge over Kaneland’s Tanner Robertsen – although Robertsen has three more receptions.

Quarterback Derek Kyler threw his second interception of the year last week on the last play of the first half, but had both a rushing touchdown and his 20th passing touchdown of the season. This season, he’s completed 54 percent of his passes for 1,259 yards – only 34 behind Marczuk for the area lead.

The defense is coming off an incredibly strong half against the Foxes. Not only did the Barbs keep Yorkville off the board, but held it to only 90 total yards in the second half after 21 points and 163 yards in the first half.

“It was more just coming out and playing and not thinking,” Weckler said.

“We were called for some penalties in that first half (a total of eight penalties for 70 yards in the first two quarters) that were just aggressive penalties. I think after those, the kids started to think too much and play a little hesitant. The only thing we told them at

Sycamore (5-3) at Sterling (7-1)

Game time: 7:15 p.m. today Last week: The Spartans won, 28-7, against Morris. The Warriors were 35-0 winners at Rochelle.

Last meeting: Needing a win to make the playoffs in the final week last year, Sycamore got it 21-18 victory at home.

Scouting the Warriors: They already had the NI Big 12 West title in hand before the win against the Hubs, but won it outright with the victory. The defense was tough, allowing only two plays of more than 10 yards and 81 total for the game. Both teams are on four-game winning streaks – the Warriors’ last loss was 38-21 at Morris, a team the Spartans handled easily last week.

The defense has been strong the past three weeks, surrendering only 21 points – seven against Ottawa in a 28-7 win (the Spartans beat the Pirates, 35-0), and 14 in a 17-14 win against Geneseo, taking the conference title from the traditionally powerful Maple Leafs.

“What’s different is it’s not the size we’ve been seeing, but it’s a lot of speed,” Sycamore coach Joe Ryan said.

“And I tell you what, their kids play hard. And that’s indicative of how well coached they are. Their kids are playing hard for them and that’s the sign of a good coaching staff. We’re just going to have to block longer, tackle better and it’s all those things.”

Sterling Thornton leads the team in passing and rushing – 762 yards on the ground and 19 TDs, plus 882 passing yards with seven scores and a pick, and a completion percentage of 64 percent.

Latrell Vaughn (77-445-5) and Andrew Spaulding (65-439-6) have rushed well for the Warriors. Jordan Asbury (28480-4) is the team’s leading receiver.

Sycamore’s Parker Majerus celebrates after a first-quarter play against Morris on Oct. 16, in Morris. With a playoff berth in hand, the Spartans are looking for momentum-building win tonight against Sterling.

Spartans peg themselves as underdogs • SPARTANS

Continued from page B1 tough to find a weakness. We’re going to have to play well to be in that game, but that’s a playoff-caliber game because it’s two playoff teams. It’s good to see where we’re at.”

After the 1-3 start, the Spartans have played all season with a sense of urgency. But last week’s 28-7 home win against Morris ensured a playoff berth – Sycamore leads the state in playoff points and even at five wins is a lock for the postseason.

Ryan said nothing really changed from the Spartans’ standpoint of how they’re approaching each game.

“Obviously, we’re in a better position because we know that we’re in,” Ryan said. “You want to go in feeling good about yourself, and coming off a loss you don’t feel well. So we have to continue to have that chip on our shoulder. We’ve been saying it for a long time – we need to be 1-0 every week, and that’s what we’re going to stay with.”

Safety Bryce Hansen said the team still needs to approach the game as the underdog.

“It hasn’t really changed how we’re feeling as a team,” Hansen said. “You have to keep that chipiness, keep that edge. We want to keep striving to get to where we want to be at the end of the year.”

SPORTS BRIEFS LAKE FOREST – The Bears cut Jeremiah Ratliff on Thursday a day after the defensive lineman was seen having an animated discussion with general manager Ryan Pace.

The exchange between Ratliff and Pace occurred in a parking lot outside of the team’s facility.

The move comes after the Bears lost 37-34 at Detroit on Sunday to drop to 2-4 in their first season under Pace and coach John Fox. The Bears have a bye this week.

The Bears replaced Ratliff by reaching a deal with freeagent defensive lineman Ziggy Hood, a first-round pick by Pittsburgh in the 2009 draft out of Missouri.

LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES

Sullivan continues to play Friday after a thrilling 3-6, 6-4, 10-6 victory over Grace Qiu (Urbana University) in the second round of the consolation bracket. She earned her third victory of the day with a 6-4, 6-3 win over Mackenzie Shelton (O’Fallon).

During the sectional tournament, Sullivan was in a pair of three-set matches that lasted a combined five hours – which Hillmer credited for her ability to pull out the victory over Qiu. “I knew she wasn’t going to quit,” Hillmer said of Sullivan, who improved to 23-3 on the year.

Joining Ye and Sullivan at the state tournament for the Spartans were their two doubles teams. However, Johnson and Garbes dropped both of their matches – 6-2, 6-1 and 6-1, 6-2 – and Cole and Mize also lost both – 6-2, 6-4, and, 6-3, 6-0.

For DeKalb, Green’s strong senior season finished with a pair of losses – 6-1, 6-0 and 6-4, 6-1.

Green, who took second place at sectionals after losing to Ye in the championship, finished 25-8 on the season for the Barbs.

BLACKHAWKS 3, PANTHERS 2

Keithless Hawks win

By JAY COHEN The Associated Press CHICAGO – Patrick Kane and Brent Seabrook each had a goal and two assists, and the Blackhawks beat the Florida Panthers, 3-2, Thursday night in their first game since top defenseman Duncan Keith had right knee surgery.

Artem Anisimov also scored for the defending Stanley Cup champions, and Corey Crawford made 16 saves while improving to 5-1 in seven career starts against Florida.

Keith had a meniscal tear repaired Tuesday, sidelining the two-time Norris Trophy winner for four to six weeks.

It could be a huge blow for the

Hawks, who already were thin on defense and play in one of the NHL’s best divisions, but they responded with a smart, measured performance on the first night of Keith’s extended absence.

Jaromir Jagr and Vincent Trocheck scored for Florida, which has Brent dropped three Seabrook in a row. Roberto Luongo made 24 saves.

Jagr’s team-best fifth goal at 7:24 of the third was the 206th power-play score of his career, breaking a tie with Joe Sakic for No. 13 on the NHL list. It also moved him into a

tie with Teemu Selanne for third on the career list with 588 power-play points.

With Marcus Kruger and Niklas Hjalmarsson in the box for the hawks, the 43-year-old Jagr poked it in from the right side to trim the Hawks’ lead to 3-2. But the Hawks kept the action away from Crawford for most of the final part of the game.

Florida and the Hawks were tied at 1 after one, but the Panthers committed five penalties in the second, and the Hawks took advantage on two of the power-play opportunities.

After Steven Kampfer was sent off for hooking, Seabrook sent a big drive past Luongo at 3:51 for his second of the season.

NIU not in habit of watching scoreboard • HUSKIES

Continued from page B1 The weeknight games – because of a contact the conference has with ESPN – have created a complex situation, in which the schools get national exposure but take a hit when it comes to gameday attendance.

Carey said Tuesday the traditionalist in him likes playing on Saturdays, but the national exposure it gives the teams and the conference is invaluable.

“There are huge positives

and there are negatives to it,” Carey said. “You’d be an ostrich sticking your head in the sand if you just said one or the other.”

Huskies avoiding scoreboard-watching: NIU’s loss at

Central Michigan in the conference opener has put the Huskies in an uphill battle for a sixth consecutive MAC West title.

With the Huskies in fourth place – because of a tiebreaker with the Chippewas – the players said they aren’t focused on looking at the stand-

ings and what’s going around in the league.

“I try not to actually look and do research on the conference,” junior running back Joel Bouagnon said. “But, you can’t not hear about it with social media and everything these days. You stay focused on your team. Nothing else matters besides the guys in your room and people you’re playing, you just try to stay focused so you can have the best season you can. Try not to get distracted by the noise of everything else.”

Free-agent pitching pool deep this offseason • CUBS

Continued from page B1 Those waters run especially deep this winter with Cy Young- and All-Star-caliber starters David Price, Johnny Cueto, Jeff Samardzija, Cubs favorite Jordan Zimmermann and, likely, Zack Greinke on the market.

The $155 million signing of Jon Lester last winter might not have looked as sexy and impactful as Jake Arrieta’s Cy Young-level dominance this season, but it was crucial to the Cubs’ sudden rise from last place to the playoffs – especially for a rotation that averaged less than 5⅓ innings a start after those two.

Epstein said he expects Hammel to return next season for the final year of his contract and pitch as he did during a 2.86 ERA first half, before his performance suffered pitching through a calf injury. His confidence seemed to go soon after as manager Joe Maddon began pulling him from games at the first sign of trouble.

Either way, the Cubs need at least one big, impact starter – and ideally two horses, not to mention another two or three proven relievers – to feel playoff-confident about the staff going into 2016.

Talks that stalled at the trade deadline are expected to be revisited with teams including the Padres, Indians and Braves for pitchers such as Tyson Ross, Carlos Carrasco and Julio Teheran (the Cubs also covet Cleveland utility man Lonnie Chisenhall, who immediately would improve the porous outfield defense).

Two of these three could be gone by spring training if the Cubs are able to pull off the trades for the pitching they want: infielder Javy Baez, second baseman Starlin Castro and right fielder Jorge Soler.

“We may be faced with a situation where the right move is to take away somewhat from [the team’s] position-player group in order to add impact pitching,” Epstein said.

A major factor in the planning will be the budget Ep-

stein’s operation gets from ownership. Each of the past two years it translated to a payroll budget of roughly $100 million – with this year’s payroll supplemented by $20 million of carried over savings from 2014.

Those extra dollars are gone, so it’s up to the business side to share enough of the extra revenues created by increased attendance – and even greater projected increases for next year – along with homegame playoff windfalls to allow an aggressive approach this winter.

“What the team accomplished this year should help,” said Epstein, who said he didn’t know how much of a bump his budget will get.

6 ADVICE & PUZZLES • Friday, October 23, 2015 • Section B • Daily Chronicle / Daily-Chronicle.com

Paying grandma for child care becomes divorce war weapon Dear Abby: My daughter and her husband are divorced, and I take care of their twin daughters after school. I love the girls and treasure the time I get to spend with them.

Their parents’ combined income is more than $120,000. I am on a fixed income and ask for only $10 per day (plus $10 a week for gas) so I can take the girls places like the zoo or an occasional movie (which usually costs more than I am given). I feed them one meal a day on this budget as well.

Whenever discussions about money occur, the ex-husband repeatedly tells my daughter he thinks it’s “offensive” that a grandparent charges money to watch the grandchildren. He uses it as a tactic to threaten to not pay for

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips other needed expenses. How do I tell him I think he’s out of line for making me feel bad for requesting the money? –

Stunned and Hurt in Tempe, Arizona Dear Stunned and Hurt: Your

former son-in-law may have some bitterness because of the divorce. Whatever his reason, his children should not suffer for it. Frankly, he should be ashamed of himself.

If he raises the subject of being “offended” with you, remind him in plain English that you are on a limited income, food is expensive and

if the money wasn’t needed you wouldn’t ask for it. It’s the truth. It’s nothing to be ashamed of and certainly not offensive.

Let’s do the math: Your granddaughters go to school five days a week; that’s $50, plus $10 a week for gas. That’s $60! If they were in day care instead of being looked after by you, the cost would be many times that amount.

Dear Abby: I am an executive assistant. A few years ago, my boss passed away after a long illness. My 13 years with her accounted for the longest consistent span of my career, and for obvious reasons, I was not able to get a letter of recommendation. It was difficult applying for jobs without being able to provide a first-hand

reference from my longest employer.

I am now happily employed, but I worry sometimes about what if it happens again. My current boss is in his early 50s, but not in the best health. I have no intention of going anywhere, and I don’t want to send him the wrong signal, but I’m wondering if it would be inappropriate to ask him for a reference letter, just to make sure I don’t find myself in the same situation again. BTW, he knows about my former situation, so I think he would understand, but I’m not sure. – Executive

should not have prevented you from finding another job. Your length of employment should have been proof enough you were an asset to the company.

I do not think it would be a good idea to approach your boss about giving you a letter of reference for a couple of reasons. First, it might be regarded as a signal that you are not happy with your job.

And second, because of fear of litigation, many employers today are reluctant to give out any information about an employee other than the length of time the person worked for the company.

sorry about the death of your former employer, but your lack of a letter of reference

Assistant in Georgia Dear Executive Assistant: I’m

Beating cigarette addiction tough but worth the trouble Dear Dr. K: I’m doing my best to quit smoking, but I am really struggling with the symptoms of withdrawal. Do you have any advice?

Dear Reader: You’re not alone. Beating an addiction is not easy, but you can do it.

And there are new treatments today that make it easier to do.

Physical withdrawal symptoms make stopping any addictive drug uncomfortable.

Nicotine – the addictive drug in tobacco – is one of the most difficult to beat. Withdrawal symptoms are the reason many people don’t manage to quit smoking. These include intense cravings, irritability, fatigue and inability to concentrate. They can begin within a few hours of the last

ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff cigarette. (On my website, askdoctork.com, I’ve put a list of the most common withdrawal symptoms and ways to cope with them.)

It might help to know that withdrawal symptoms are worst during the first two or three days after quitting.

Remind yourself that if you make it over this initial hurdle, you’ve already done the hardest part. Your symptoms will gradually improve over the next month or more.

When you start to crave a cigarette, try to wait out the urge by distracting yourself or taking a brisk walk. Nicotine

replacement therapy (NRT) can also help you get through the cravings. Nicotine replacement products are available as patches, gums, nasal sprays, inhalers and lozenges. Two medications, varenicline (Chantix) and bupropion (Wellbutrin, Zyban) decrease the craving for nicotine and also decrease withdrawal symptoms. Ask your doctor about these drugs.

Here are some more tips for preventing and dealing with urges: • When you feel the urge to smoke, delay. If you can hang in there for six to 18 hours, the craving will eventually go away.

• If you feel tense, try meditation, deep breathing or yoga.

• Begin an exercise pro-

gram. It will relieve tension, promote good sleep and help control weight gain. Walking for 30 minutes a day can really help. Many of my patients have told me that regular moderate exercise • particularly at times when they felt cravings • was extremely helpful.

• Stay away from situations where you will be with smokers or exposed to secondhand smoke.

• Avoid foods, beverages and situations that you strongly associate with having cigarettes. Typical examples include drinking alcohol, having a cup of coffee and going out to a bar.

• When you feel the urge to smoke, replace it with several deep, slow breaths followed by a drink of water.

• Do not get discouraged if your first attempt is not successful. Realize that most successful ex-smokers quit for good only after several attempts.

• If you slip and have a cigarette, make a decision to quit again immediately.

• Some people find that alternative therapies, such as hypnosis or acupuncture, can help.

So although it is not easy to do, you can quit smoking: There are more ex-smokers in the United States today than there are smokers.

• Write to Dr. Komaroff at askdoctork.com, or Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

Time will determine how new law will affect marijuana use by teens Dr. Wallace: Now that marijuana is available to purchase legally in several states, has the percentage of teens using marijuana gone up significantly?

I ask this because I’m a teacher in Colorado and would like to share this information with my drug prevention class. Colorado is a state that recently passed a law that made marijuana legally available for purchase.

This is a very interesting topic in our class. – Teacher,

Denver, Colo.

Teacher: According to data

from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, teen marijuana use held steady in 2014, the first year that Colorado and Washington allowed

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace legal marijuana sales. 7.4 percent of those teens between the ages of 12 to 17 used marijuana at least once monthly.

That number was up by only 0.3 percentage points from 2013. Time will determine the effect of the new law on the use of marijuana by teens, especially if other states join Colorado and Washington.

Dr. Wallace: I’m really mad, and I don’t know how to get rid of my anger. My best friend and I took English composition from the same teacher. We’re very compet-

HOROSCOPE

itive, especially with each other. Both of us were getting a B plus, but a 10-page expository paper due last week had a huge impact on our final grades. Today we received our grades on the paper and I got a B plus. My friend got an A on her paper.

What makes me angry is that she didn’t write the paper; her mother did. She told me that three days ago; it didn’t bother me then because I never considered her mom to be super intelligent, but she must have some sort of brain power. I just might tell the teacher about this, but I know it would ruin a seven-year, very close friendship. What should I do?

I really feel cheated. – Name-

less, Salt Lake City, Utah.

SUDOKU

By EUGENIA LAST Newspaper Enterprise Association

TODAY – Be a leader, not a follower. A charitable cause or organization will help you raise awareness about something that concerns you and will give you the platform to present what you have to offer. Patience and grace under pressure will be great assets.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Don’t join the fight when you can become the mediator. You have the ability to say the right thing in order to defuse a volatile situation and resolve sensitive issues with compassion.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Overspending will put your budget in jeopardy. Don’t try to buy your way into someone’s heart. Your time and attention are what will bring the best rewards.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – You will be tense and stressed out. A physical activity will help you burn off steam.

Go to the gym or pool and put your excess energy to good use.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Others will consider your help meddling by another name. Keep your opinions to yourself in order to avoid a rift. Romance will improve your personal life.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Change is in the air. You have fabulous ideas that will help streamline or modernize your job.

Convince colleagues to join you, and present your concepts to those in charge.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – A relationship will turn turbulent.

Remember that it takes two to argue. Make amends if you have been too demanding or stubborn. Don’t say something you’ll regret.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – If you have been spending too much time on your career lately, getting together with friends will remind you how to have fun. Make time for the people who mean the most to you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Financial security and risk-taking will not be compatible. Do your research carefully before you spend your hard-earned cash. Opt for a conservative investment you can count on.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Listen to what others have to say. Don’t judge someone based on hearsay or rumors. Your assumptions will not be valid. The information you receive will be incomplete or false.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Refer to those with experience in order to find solutions. Whether you have professional or personal issues, someone you know will give you sound advice.

Don’t be afraid to ask.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Get out and socialize if you crave excitement. Take part in community events in order to meet a wide assortment of people you will enjoy spending time with.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – It’s OK to think big, but keep matters in perspective. Take small steps if you want to reach your destination. Frustration will develop if you try to do too much at once.

Nameless: I can understand why you’re upset, but you weren’t the one who was cheated.

Your friend was. You organized and wrote a very good expository paper and gained much from your effort. Your friend can’t make the same claim. Don’t tell the teacher about this episode, but make your friend aware that you’re very disappointed in her behavior.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 16 and have an unusual problem.

My best friend asked me to do her a big favor. She wanted me to go out with her brother’s friend who had never been on a date before because he was “sort of a dork.” Well, being the good friend that I am, I said yes.

It was supposed to be just one date. Guess what happened? I really enjoyed the evening, and I’d like to go out with him again, but I know he’s too shy to call me.

Should I contact him?

If I do, I know he will say yes, but my best friend might think I’m really odd to be dating someone she considers dorky. I don’t happen to think that he is. What should I do? – Nameless, Oakland,

Calif.

Nameless: By all means,

contact him! What matters is how you feel about this boy, not what anyone else says about him.

CROSSWORD

BRIDGE Phillip Alder

There were three; but where was four?

Chris Abani, a Nigerian-American author, said, “I have to have three or four books going simultaneously.

If I’m not impressed in the first 20 pages, I don’t bother reading the rest, especially with novels.”

When you are defending against four of a major, you need four tricks to defeat the contract. As soon as you can see three winners, however unimpressed you are with your chances of a fourth trick, do not stop hunting for that vital extra winner.

In today’s deal, look first at the West hand.

He is defending against four spades. Guided by his partner’s response, West leads his singleton heart. East wins with the jack and cashes the heart ace. What should West do now?

West had a normal three-diamond opening bid. North had a textbook takeout double.

Then East had an interesting problem. He had a fit for partner and a side-suit singleton, which suggested that a sacrifice might be profitable.

But, by responding three hearts, he decided to indicate what rated to be the best lead for his partner. Then, he judged well not to sacrifice in five diamonds, which would have been doubled and set two, minus 500. Also, South correctly jumped to four spades with a hand worth an opening bid.

At trick two, West should hope that he has two discards to make; and if so, he should see how to defeat the contract.

He pitches first the club nine, then the club two – high-low with a doubleton and asking partner to shift to that suit.

Then, as long as East is watching, he will lead a club at trick four, which West will ruff to defeat the contract.

NEIGHBORS FRIDAY CONTACT: Inger Koch • ikoch@shawmedia.com

Girl donates birthday gifts to learning center Cierra Lizer, an alumna of Children’s Learning Center, donated a wide assortment of art and craft materials and supplies to the day care center on her 12th birthday.

Cierra had the idea to ask her friends to bring donations instead of gifts to her birthday party. Her friends were very generous: every classroom at CLC got some new art supplies, from markers and paper to pipe cleaners and googly eyes.

Cierra is the daughter of Diane and Jeff Lizer. Diane is a member of the Board of Directors of Children’s Learning Center. Jeff is a 3M employee and has been honored by both 3M and CLC for his community service.

An incorporated nonprofit since 1972, Children’s Learning Center is an ExceleRate Illinois Gold Circle child care center. CLC provides licensed and accredited early education to 180 enrolled children six weeks to 12 years old, 70 percent of whom are eligible for child care subsidies from the Illinois Department of Human Services. CLC is a member agency of Kishwaukee United Way and Community Coordinated Child Care.

North Grove Elementary School second-graders recently enjoyed a field trip to the Sycamore Fire Station.

They learned about when to dial 911, fire safety at home, smoke detectors, and firefighters and their gear.

After touring the station, a guide from the Sycamore History Museum taught them about many of the historic homes and buildings on Somonauk Street and in downtown Sycamore.

Volleyball winners The St. Mary’s Sycamore fifth- and sixthgrade volleyball team recently competed against two teams from St. Patrick’s School in St. Charles. The St. Mary’s Stars won each match against the Irish’s Green and White teams. Team members included Gina Steckel, Rosalia Maniaci-Storaci, Mackenzie Prombo, Paige Collie, Cassandra Kijowski, Lily Pavelich, Dakotah Baker, Ava Gall, Raelin Anderson, Alijah Miller and Caitlin Conrad. Not pictured are Brooklynn Kinn, Gretchen Hill and Rachael Hartness, as well as coaches Lisa Kijowski and Denise Collie.

Eileen Witthoff of DeKalb has returned home after spending the 2014-15 academic year abroad in India on the Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange and Study (YES) Abroad program, funded by the State Department’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.

Witthoff was one of 65 students from across the U.S. to receive this fully funded, merit-based scholarship.

While abroad, students develop skills to be globally competitive by immersing themselves in diverse overseas communities and cultures where they live with host families and attend local schools, participating in community service, and creating individual capstone projects that engage them with their host communities.

The YES Abroad program is a component of the Kennedy-Lugar YES exchange program that also brings almost 900 high school students from about 40 countries with significant Muslim populations to the U.S. to study each year.

She never made us feel like we were asking a silly question. She is the reason we had a pleasant home buying/building experience.
