Bingo plan has yet to resurface County officials in dark about Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation’s gaming center

By RHONDA GILLESPIE rgillespie@shawmedia.com DeKALB – DeKalb County officials said there has been no movement on plans to bring a 24-hour electronic bingo center to Shabbona since the County Board decided in August not to vote on a resolution supporting the

plan.

On August 19, the board removed from its agenda a resolution that called for the it to support the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation in its efforts to get a federal land designation. The tribe wants the 129 acres of land it owns in DeKalb County – adjacent to Shabbona – held in trust. The

“land in trust” classification would allow the tribe to establish the gaming center.

“As far as I know, that resolution ... is not coming back.

The board, by not taking it up that night, put it off, probably permanently,” DeKalb County Administrator Gary Hanson said.

But it remains unclear

how the board’s action will affect the tribe and its plans for as many as 800 bingo machines in the rural area.

“I don’t think that was a critical letter for the tribe,” Hanson said. “I think it was something that they thought might be helpful, but I don’t think they saw it as detrimental not to have it.”

County Board member Tracy Jones, R-District 1, made the motion to remove the resolution from board consideration. The county’s seven-member economic development committee had voted to pass the resolution on to for the full board to approve. But Jones said the board needed to be educated

more on some jargon – especially the definition of “land in trust.”

“The board doesn’t know what all it means,” said Jones.

“There’s a lot more to putting your land in trust than I even know – and I know a little bit.

But I need to be educated.”

Benefiting from brews Beer sales at Huskie Stadium a success so far

By JESSE SEVERSON jseverson@shawmedia.com DeKALB – So far, so good for beer sales at Huskie Stadium.

Not only has the decision for Northern Illinois to sell beer in three locations during football games been profitable for the university, Cmdr. Don Rodman of NIU police has said there’s been a drop in alcohol incidents since the start of sales – which debuted in the second week of the season.

“Looking at comparative years, we haven’t had any alcohol-related calls on the west side (of Huskie Stadium) – which is where the alcohol is being sold,” said Rodman, who has been with NIU police for

Rodman said they debrief and look at the numbers after every game and they have been pleased at the response. Both Rodman and Northern Illinois senior associate athletic director John Cheney believe that the drop is because fans are not binge drinking before heading into the stadium now that beer is available.

CHICAGO – Dennis Hastert pleaded guilty Wednesday to evading banking laws in a hush-money scheme, averting a potentially lurid trial that could have dredged up sexual allegations by agreeing to a deal with prosecutors that recommended he serve no more than six months in prison.

In the written agreement, the Illinois Republican directly acknowledged for the first time that he sought to pay someone $3.5 million to hide misconduct by Hastert against that person dating back several decades, to around the time the longtime GOP leader was a high school wrestling coach.

Before accepting the plea, the 73-year-old was warned by the judge that he could go beyond the recommendation and give Hastert up to five years behind bars when he is sentenced in Dennis February.

Hastert Because the plea agreement has a sentencing range from no prison time to six months, U.S. District Judge Thomas M. Durkin also could decide to put Hastert on probation or home confinement.

The plea helped seal the downfall of a man who rose from obscurity in rural Illinois to the nation’s third-highest political office. During his eight years as speaker, Hastert was second in the line of succession to the presidency.

As he stepped to the lectern to answer a series of questions, he spoke in a voice so soft that the judge told him to speak up.

The hearing revealed no new details about why Hastert agreed to pay the money. The indictment and the plea language both said the payments were meant to conceal past misconduct by Hastert, but neither document explained the nature of the wrongdoing.

The Associated Press and other media, citing anonymous sources, have reported that the payments were meant to hide claims of sexual misconduct.

At the half-hour hearing in Chicago, a subdued Hastert read from a brief statement that – like his indictment – focused narrowly on how he technically broke banking laws.

Debate highlights GOP’s 2 tracks

By JULIE PACE and THOMAS BEAUMONT The Associated Press BOULDER, Colo. – Marco Rubio bid forcefully for control of the Republican Party’s establishment wing in Wednesday night’s third GOP debate, deflecting jabs from Jeb Bush, who desperately sought to right his floundering campaign.

Insurgent outsiders Donald Trump and Ben Carson defended the seriousness of their White House efforts, underscoring the two-track fight for the party’s presidential nomination. But in an economic policy focused debate, both at times faded to the background during the two-hour contest.

Rubio tangled early with Bush, his friend and fellow Floridian, who entered the debate in need of a strong performance to soothe his supporters’ anxiety. Bush targeted Rubio for his spotty voting record on Capitol Hill, signaling that he sees the Florida senator as the candidate most likely to block his political path.

“Marco, when you signed up for this, this was a 6-year term and you should be showing up for work,” said Bush,

Donald Trump (second from right) speaks, as Jeb Bush (left) Marco Rubio (second from left) and Ben Carson look on Wednesday during the CNBC Republican presidential debate at the University of Colorado in Boulder, Colo. who was forced to slash campaign spending in response to slower fundraising. “You can campaign, or just resign and let someone else take the job.”

Rubio sharply dismissed Bush’s critique as a political ploy by a struggling candidate.

“The only reason you’re doing it is that we’re running for the same position and someone has convinced you that attacking me will help you,” he said.

Three months before primary voting begins, the Republican contest remains crowded and unwieldly. Yet

the contours of the race have been clarified, with outsiders capitalizing on voter frustration with Washington and candidates with political experience hoping the race ultimately turns their way.

Trump, the brash real estate mogul, has dominated the Republican race for months, but was a less of a factor Wednesday night than in the previous two debates. He largely refrained from personal attacks on his rivals, which has been a signature of his campaign, even taking a light touch with Carson, who has overtaken

him in recent Iowa polls.

Carson, the soft-spoken retired neurosurgeon who came into the debate with a burst of momentum, stuck to his lowkey style. He sought to explain his vague tax policy, which he has compared to tithing, in which families donate the same portion of their income to their church regardless of how much they make. And he insisted he had no involvement with supplement maker Mannatech, although he acknowledged using its product and giving paid speeches for the company, which has faced a legal challenge over health claims for its products.

Carson said it was absurd to allege he’s connected to the company.

“If someone put me on their home page, they did it without permission,” he said.

Trump bristled when asked by a debate moderator if his policy proposals, including building a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border and deporting everyone who is in the U.S. illegally, amounted to a “comic book” campaign. And he defended his record in the private sector despite having to declare bankruptcy, casting it as a business technique.

Sheriff fires deputy for tossing teen across classroom

By MEG KINNARD The Associated Press COLUMBIA, S.C. – A deputy who flipped a disruptive student out of her desk and tossed her across her math class floor was fired Wednesday.

The sheriff called his actions “unacceptable,” and said videos recorded by her classmates show the girl posed no danger to anyone.

“What he should not have done is throw the student,” Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott said. “Police officers make mistakes, too. They’re human and they need to be held accountable, and that’s what we’ve done with Deputy Ben Fields.”

Civil rights groups praised the swift action against Fields, a veteran school resource officer and football coach at Spring Valley High School. Outrage spread quickly after videos of the white officer arresting the black teenager Monday appeared on the Internet.

Scott Hayes, an attorney for the deputy, said in a statement released to local media that the officer’s actions were justified and lawful. He said Fields wouldn’t have any comment because of the federal investigation.

Lott thanked the FBI for investigating whether civil rights were violated, and school officials for promising

This three image combo made from video taken by a Spring Valley High School student Monday shows Senior Deputy Ben Fields trying to forcibly remove a student from her chair after she refused to leave her high school math class in Columbia S.C. to review how police are used for discipline.

“They need to understand that when they call us, we’re going to take a law enforcement action,” Lott said. “Maybe that ought to have been something handled by the school without ever calling the deputy.”

The sheriff also had stern words for the student who started the confrontation by refusing to hand over her cellphone after her math teacher saw her texting in class – a violation of school policy.

Both she and another student who verbally challenged the officer’s actions during the arrest still face misdemeanor charges of disturbing schools, punishable by up to a $1,000 fine or 90 days in jail, Lott said,

although in most cases, judges impose alternative sentences that keep students out of jail.

“The student was not allowing the teacher to teach and not allowing the students to learn. She was very disrespectful and she started this whole incident,” Lott said. “It doesn’t justify his actions. But again, she needs to be held responsible for what she did.”

Lott also praised the students whose videos put such an intense spotlight on his deputy’s actions.

“I can’t fix problems if I don’t know about it,” Lott said.

“I would say that every citizen with a camera, if they see something that’s going on that disturbs them, they should film it. Our citizens should police us.”

Lott said he wouldn’t describe Fields as remorseful, but rather sorry it all happened.

The agency’s training unit determined from the videos that Fields did not follow proper training and procedure, the sheriff said.

“When you make an arrest of someone who does not have a weapon, you never let go of the subject. When he threw her across the room, he let go of her. That’s what violates our policy,” Lott said.

“She wasn’t a danger at that point; she was just being noncompliant and disrespectful.

You try to de-escalate a situation. And when you do have to put your hands on someone, there are other techniques we use.”

Chicago City Council approves proposal for the Lucas Museum

By DON BABWIN The Associated Press CHICAGO – The force – of Chicago’s City Council, at least – is with George Lucas, as aldermen voted Wednesday to allow the “Star Wars” filmmaker to build his $400 million museum along the shores of Lake Michigan.

build his 300,000-squarefoot Lucas Museum of Narrative Art just south of Soldier Field. The vote came on the same day the Chicago Bears and the museum organization announced an agreement on parking that will increase the number of parking spots and tailgating spots.

McCullough has more time for relief case

By KATIE SMITH

On the Web

ksmith@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – A DeKalb County judge said Wednesday that he saw no reason at this point to reconsider murderer Jack McCullough’s request for another trial, but he granted him more time to make his case.

McCullough’s attorney, Tom McCulloch, requested the hearing to get DeKalb County Judge Robert Pilmer to reconsider his September dismissal of McCullough’s hand-written petition to reverse his murder conviction. McCulloch is the DeKalb County public defender who represented McCullough at trial.

McCullough was sentenced to life in prison in December 2012 for the 1957 murder of Maria Ridulph, 7, of Sycamore, closing the oldest cold case in U.S. history. McCullough, a 75-year-old Pontiac Correctional Center inmate, has claimed new evidence could prove his innocence and that prosecutors violated his constitutional rights at trial by withholding evidence that would have helped his defense.

Pilmer said Wednesday that the reasoning provided in the latest court filings wasn’t enough to merit a hearing on the matter. However, the judge said he would give McCullough a month to build a stronger

Jack McCullough speaks during an interview with the Chicago Sun-Times at the Pontiac Correctional Center on Aug. 1, 2013, in Pontiac. case.

The rehashing of Maria Ridulph’s death has been a painful and confusing processing for her family, her brother Charles Ridulph said.

“We were really hoping that after the judge’s recent ruling that this was going to be the end of it,” Charles Ridulph said.

“This really caught us by surprise.”

DeKalb County State’s Attorney Richard Schmack filed a statement Monday that said his office won’t participate in any proceedings regarding the mo-

tion for reconsideration because it was too early in the post-conviction process for prosecutors to weigh in. Schmack appeared in court Wednesday to reiterate that position.

He declined to comment after the hearing, saying it would be inappropriate.

But the State’s Attorney’s lack of involvement so far has the Ridulph family concerned. “[Schmack] responded by saying it’s really a technical thing,” Charles Ridulph said.

“The reason he’s not responding is because he doesn’t want

it to appear they’re moving it forward to another stage in the process.”

Still, Charles Ridulph questioned if politics were at play.

“From the very beginning, I’ve been shocked at the amount of politics involved at that courthouse,” he said.

Pilmer was curious about McCulloch’s involvement in the case because the public defender hadn’t been appointed to represent McCullough in the post-conviction process. In fact, Pilmer had previously denied McCullough’s request to have

the store’s clerk and demanded she take them to a back room and hand over cellphones, Sycamore police Cmdr. Steve Cook said.

Police released details about the robbery Wednesday.

Police believe the men left out the back door, and possibly took off in a getaway car parked a few buildings away, Cook said.

One of the men was wearing a blue hoodie and the other wearing a grey hoodie. Both men were of medium build and had dreadlock hair styles, Cook said.

Police noticed a close similarity between Saturday’s robbery and an August robbery of a T-Mobile store in which three men have been charged.

“Obviously, it isn’t the same people, but it is very similar,” Cook said. “It is something they’re considering and investigating.”

The robbery remains under investigation.

Anyone with information should contact the Sycamore Police Department at 815-895-3435.

the DeKalb County Public Defender’s Office appointed in September.

“At this point, Mr. McCullough is representing himself,” Pilmer said Wednesday.

But McCulloch said he “still retains responsibilities,” after having represented McCullough during trial.

Pilmer dismissed McCullough’s request for post-conviction relief in September, calling it “frivolous and without merit,” according to court documents. McCullough wrote the petition by hand from prison without help from a lawyer.

After the dismissal, McCulloch filed motions asking the judge to reconsider that decision based on new evidence.

In the motion for reconsideration, McCullough raised questions about the use of jailhouse informants, whether prosecutors failed to turn over evidence that could have been helpful to the defense at trial and other arguments similar to those that he and his lawyers raised during his 2012 trial and subsequent

appeal. He also claimed newly discovered evidence would cast doubt on the testimony provided by two witnesses at the McCullough’s 2012 trial.

One point of contention centers on the recollections of Jan Swafford, 74, who was known as Jan Edwards in 1957 and was dating McCullough, who was known as John Tessier at the time.

McCulloch argued his client’s civil rights were violated when Seattle police failed to disclose information about Swafford’s statements, which would have supported Jack McCullough’s recollection of the night Maria Ridulph went missing, court records show.

McCullough didn’t appear in court Wednesday and no arrangements had been made as of Wednesday for him to appear at future hearings, McCulloch said.

The case will return to court Nov. 30.

McCullough has maintained his innocence and has claimed phone records, FBI reports and comments from military recruiters show he was in the Rockford area when the girl was abducted.

“We just want it to be over,” Charles Ridulph said. “We really want it to be over, and we’re hopeful that [Judge Pilmer] will put this to rest.”

Bus crash near Sycamore sends one to hospital to Kishwaukee Hospital in DeKalb for precautionary reasons, police said.

Police cited bus driver Ronald Jones, of the 4900 block of Tile Line Road, Crystal Lake, for failure to yield while turning left, according to the release.

Kathy Anes, the director of transportation for Crystal Lake Elementary School District 47 and Community High School District 155, would not comment on whether the driver is facing any sort of discipline stemming from the crash. She said he was not driving a bus Wednesday morning.

Anes complimented Sycamore School District 427 transportation staff for sending a bus to pick up the students while police investigated the crash.

“They bought them pizza while they were there,” Anes said. “They did a real nice job in helping out.”

She said the bus was able to drive back to Crystal Lake after the crash.

By KATIE DAHLSTROM kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – A 71-yearold bus driver was cited Tuesday night after police said he failed to yield while turning left and crashed a school bus carrying the Crystal Lake South High School girls volleyball team.

The crash happened at 8:10 p.m. at the intersection of Route 64 and Peace Road in Sycamore, according to a news release from the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office. The team was returning after a two-set, semifinal victory over South Elgin at the Class 4A DeKalb Regional.

The bus driver was turning left onto Peace Road when the bus struck a 2015 pickup truck being driven west on Route 64 by a 38-year-old Clare man, police said.

Police investigating possible arson at Sycamore High School

By KATIE SMITH ksmith@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – Police are investigating a fire they believe was purposefully set in a Sycamore High School administrative office Wednesday morning.

Sycamore police received a call about 1 a.m. Wednesday of a fire at the school that caused “significant damage” to one of the administrative offices. The fire was confined to the office and burned out by the time fire officials arrived, Sycamore Police Cmdr.

Steve Cook said.

No one was injured and school went on as usual, Sycamore School District 427 Superintendent Kathy Countryman said in a letter posted to the district’s website Wednesday.

“The building is safe for students and staff, therefore, all classes and activities will be held as scheduled,” Countryman said in the letter.

Countryman said the district was working in conjunction with Sycamore police in the department’s investigation. She said that classes at the high school went as scheduled Wednesday.

She said the fire was unusual for the school and the district.

“It’s always disappointing when something like this occurs,” she said.

Police declined say which office the fire was set in or why they believe it was started intentionally.

Officials do not think it was started by someone who worked in the building, Cook said.

“At this point that’s not the direction we’re headed at all,” he said.

The fire remains under investigation.

Revenue-sharing agreements could benefit village, county • BINGO

Continued from page A1 The Potawatomi could establish Native American-owned gambling on the land if the property were designated either a reservation or land in trust. As of now, the parcel does not have either classification.

Tribe officials did not respond to Daily Chronicle request for comment.

In 2008, when Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation, DeKalb County and Shabbona entered into a collective agreement over revenue, the tribe was working to have the land designated as a reservation. That process, which included back-and-forth letter writing among attorneys, elected officials and agency leaders representing the tribe and DeKalb County, stalled. Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation then tried to go the land in trust route, and it is unclear today where the tribe stands with that process.

“They were going to go Route A, now they’re going to go Route B and put their land in trust,” Jones said. “And frankly, I don’t know enough about what Route A or Route B entails.”

Jones said he didn’t get the requested clarification from tribal leaders or their representatives.

Shabbona Village President Claudia Hicks supports having the bingo center near the village. She said she has not been in touch with county or tribe officials regarding the resolution since August, and is unsure what will occur going forward.

“When that happened with the County Board, it threw everything in such an uproar,” Hicks said.

Agreements for revenue-sharing could benefit both the village and the county.

The 2008 agreement calls for Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation to pay Shabbona as much as $772,000 to have pipes installed to connect the gambling center to the village’s water supply and sanitary system. A one-time wastewater connection fee of $513,000 also would be required.

The county would receive the greater of $800,000 or 2.5 percent of the gambling facility’s net annual profits, a one-time payment of $15,000 and then $2,500 annual payment to the county health department for gambling addiction services, and the tribe would be required to make annual contributions to area nonprofit organizations.

Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation leaders said the bingo hall would lead to creation of 400 new jobs, with a $17 million annual payroll. Further, the tribe predicted, there would be an infusion of $12 million of bought goods into the local economy, and 930,000 visitors to the area each year.

“I seriously question that,” Jones said.

Drop in dealing with intoxicated fans welcomed by NIU police • BEER

Continued from page A1 “At this point, we’re planning on continuing (to sell beer) at men’s and women’s basketball games at the NIU Convo Center,” said Cheney, who said the idea to sell beer during games began to gain some steam during the summer.

Rodman said that in years past, there would tend to be one to two alcohol related calls on the west side of Huskie Stadium – depending on the game – with a few more on the east side, likely because it holds the student section.

While the sample size still

is small – the numbers are based on three games, Murray State, Ball State, Eastern Michigan – Northern Illinois isn’t alone in seeing this trend.

According to a report by NPR in 2013, West Virginia and other schools saw a decrease in incidents by allowing the sale of beer inside the stadium.

“We had done research on it, and we were in support it,” Rodman said. “We had a paradigm shift after seeing the trends at other universities.”

Rodman said that usually the calls in the past come either before the game – during tailgating – or in the first quarter. However, the drop in dealing with intoxicated fans has been welcome for NIU police.

“That type of individual requires more patience [to deal with],” Rodman laughed.

Not only has there been a drop in alcohol-related incidents, the program has been a success monetarily.

NIU, which became the fifth school in the Mid-American Conference to sell beer during games, has a partnership with Sodexo, which provides the concessions and the alcohol – which currently consists of a selection of 16-ounce aluminum cans of Miller Lite and Coors Light for $6.50, along with 12-ounce cans of hard cider and select craft beers for $7. Cheney said that there has been a profit from the sales

and Sodexo, which couldn’t provide an exact number, said there was a 30-percent increase in beer sales from the first game (Murray State) to the second game (Ball State), according to Cheney.

Another school in the conference, Eastern Michigan, didn’t have similar success initially. According to an article by the Eastern Echo, the school newspaper reported that the university lost $3,000 in the first week selling alcohol. However, that could be because of the additional security that Eastern Michigan paid for.

In contrast, Northern Illinois didn’t use additional security. Instead, it reallocated

officers into different spots they’d normally work.

Cheney said that Huskie Stadium ushers received additional training to be able spot individuals who may have been overserved. Currently, there are three spots on the west side of Huskie Stadium that sell alcohol – two outside the stadium in the concourse and one on the upper level.

Despite the initial signs of success, Cheney said the beer sales will stay on the west side for the time being. The student section is on the east side.

“When you have a defined population that’s underage, you have to be sensitive to that,” Cheney said.

Hastert avoids trial that could have divulged the secrets he tried to hide • HASTERT

Continued from page A1 By pleading guilty, Hastert avoids a trial that could have divulged the embarrassing secrets he presumably wanted to keep under wraps by paying hush money.

Judges also are generally more likely to give lighter sentences to defendants who accept responsibility for their actions and spare the government the cost of a trial.

Hastert, who was charged with the banking violation and lying to the FBI, also acknowledged in the plea deal that he lied to the agency about the reasons for the withdrawals. The agreement indicates prosecutors will dismiss that charge.

When the judge asked Hastert to describe his wrongdoing in his own words, he read his

statement, telling the court that he had been withdrawing cash, $50,000 at a time. After banking officials questioned him, he said, he began taking out less than $10,000 to avoid reporting requirements.

Speaking in a halting voice and losing his place in the text at one point, he described why he lied to officials: “I didn’t want them to know how I intended to spend the money.”

Hastert did not say why he required so much cash or why he sought to skirt reporting requirements. As he finished, the judge immediately asked: “Did you know that what you were doing was wrong?”

He responded, “Yes, sir.”

The 15-page plea deal, which Hastert signed Wednesday, was released after the hearing. In it, he acknowledged the unnamed person and that the two “discussed past misconduct” by Hastert

against that person, who is only referred to as “Individual A.” That discussion led to the agreement for $3.5 million.

Sentencing was scheduled for Feb. 29.

Since the plea deal offers a range of punishment, the sentencing hearing could include arguments from prosecutors on why Hastert should spend some time behind bars and from the defense about why he should be spared prison.

Asked by the judge if the government would call any witnesses at the sentencing, lead prosecutor Steven Block left open that possibility, saying the prosecution would decide at a later date.

Prosecutors could theoretically call to the witness stand the unnamed person Hastert was allegedly paying, a prospect that could make public the conduct Hastert sought to conceal.

SKETCH VIEW

VIEWS Ramesh Ponnuru In important respects, Jeb’s health care positions are also more conservative than his brother’s. For years, conservative think-tankers pushed Republicans to change the tax treatment of health insurance so that people who buy coverage for themselves can get an equivalent tax break to those who get it through their employers – and without having to obey highly prescriptive federal regulations on what kind they can buy.

George Bush’s administration made only a half-hearted effort to do so, too late in his term to make a difference. Jeb has advanced a plan to create a much more competitive individual market.

Even on education – where he has sustained criticism from conservatives for his support of Common Core standards – Jeb is running to the right of his brother.

George ran on “No Child Left Behind,” an ambitious plan to leverage federal dollars to reform schools in every state. Jeb said that Washington’s role in education should be limited, that it shouldn’t interfere in state standard-setting, and that it should offer more flexibility in using federal funds. Jeb also thinks families should be able to use their share of federal aid for poor students to pay for private school. George never called for boosting school choice that way.

The brothers have similar views on immigration. But Jeb goes further than George

in siding with the critics, mostly conservative, who think reuniting extended families should not be a priority. He’d prefer more skills-based immigration.

This pattern holds on a range of lower-profile issues, too. Jeb wants to reimpose what he calls the “Reagan rule,” which would prevent organizations that perform abortions, notably Planned Parenthood, from receiving federal money. That’s a step that his brother declined to take. George supported the Export-Import Bank and the renewable fuel standard. Jeb opposes both, treating them as unwarranted government interference in free markets. George favored renewing the ban on “assault weapons” that President Bill Clinton had signed, and which every president since Gerald Ford has supported. Jeb opposes that, too.

This column isn’t an endorsement of Jeb Bush. Although my wife works for him, I’m neutral in the race. But Jeb’s reputation for being a moderate has a larger significance: It’s a sign of just how successful conservatives have been at moving the Republican Party rightward. If he wins the nomination, notwithstanding his low poll numbers today, it will be taken as a defeat for conservatives. Yet Jeb Bush has given every indication that he’d be the most conservative president we’ve had in a long time.

• Ramesh Ponnuru, a Bloomberg View columnist, is a senior editor for National Review and a visiting fellow at the American Enterprise Institute.

Demand better schools, not fewer tests President Barack Obama is in danger of squandering one of his most important legacies – better public education policies – and doing real harm to our poorest students and America’s future.

Over the weekend, the president and Secretary of Education Arne Duncan called for limiting the amount of time that students spend taking tests. It’s an unfortunate and tragically oversimplified response to the challenges facing our schools – challenges made plain by U.S. test results released Wednesday, which show that students have lost ground in math for the first time since 1990.

To improve education, parents and teachers need to know how well our students – of all ethnic and racial backgrounds – are learning. That’s especially true in communities where schools are the best hope for escaping poverty. Parents deserve to know how schools compare with one another so that they can demand improvements where they are needed and hold schools accountable for delivering results. The same is true for principals and elected officials, to say nothing of taxpayers. That’s why accurate information on student learning is so crucial – and like it or not, high-quality testing is an essential element of that.

Until last weekend, the Obama administration had rightly emphasized the importance of using student-performance data to ensure accountability and drive school improvement. It has also supported governors and school superintendents who are raising the bar for student achievement, especially by creating and adopting Common Core standards that are tied to college and career readiness. Yet now that results from tests aligned to these standards are showing just how many students are not on track for college, the public backlash against the tests seems to have given Obama and Duncan a case of cold feet. That’s deeply regrettable.

U.S. students once led the world in college graduation, but no longer, and our public-school students are in the middle

AMENDMENT

@dailychronicle

Public should know what Hastert did

Jeb Bush has lately been defending his brother George – the former president – against Donald Trump’s criticism, and George is raising funds for Jeb’s presidential campaign. What all this fraternal support obscures is the extent of the policy differences between the two. Despite his reputation for moderation, on issue after issue Jeb has taken positions that are significantly to the right of his brother’s - - and of every other president in recent memory.

Start with taxes. Like his brother in 2000, Jeb Bush is running at a time when the top statutory income-tax rate is 39.6 percent.

George W. Bush proposed reducing that to 33 percent. Jeb wants to cut it to 28 percent.

George left taxes on businesses largely alone. Jeb wants to reduce the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 20 percent, and let businesses write off the costs of their investments immediately. George kept the alternative minimum tax in place, too, where Jeb wants to eliminate it. All in all, Jeb’s plan is far more oriented toward supply-side economics than George’s was.

On spending, too, Jeb has tried to stake out a position to the right of his brother, without directly criticizing him. He said in May that “during my brother’s time, Republicans spent too much money.” One of George’s major promises in 2000 was to create a new subsidy for prescription-drug purchases by the elderly, which eventually became Medicare Part D. Jeb has no comparable initiative. He says his brother’s plan should have been said for, and has spoken positively about Rep. Paul Ryan’s proposal to restrain Medicare spending.

Common Core

October 29, 2015

VIEWS Michael R. Bloomberg of the pack, at the precise moment when people around the world are becoming ever more educated. The National Assessment of Educational Progress – also known as “the nation’s report card” – has long made clear just how poorly American schools serve children. The latest report was released Wednesday, and it shows that in reading and math, only one-third of eighth-grade students are meeting the national standard.

Today, the biggest threat to American might is not any one country or terrorist group. It is our collective unwillingness to confront mediocrity in our schools. In the ultracompetitive global economy, the U.S. is facing a terrible mismatch between highskill jobs and our labor pool. This problem will grow worse over time unless we expect more of ourselves and our students – and hold everyone, including teachers and school leaders, accountable for success.

Caving to pressure from union leaders and a vocal subset of parents who want to end testing and accountability will make it harder to achieve that success.

It’s true that some states and districts need to do a better job of coordinating tests, to prevent redundancy, and using them effectively. But that does not require an act of Congress. And the argument that teachers spend too much time “teaching to the test” misses the crucial point: When curriculum and instruction are aligned with high-quality tests, as they often are in Advanced Placement classes, classroom work will prepare students for success.

What’s more, students will face tests throughout their life. They must learn to cope with the emotional stress that comes with the experience, particularly because many companies (including mine) use tests in hiring. I understand: Test-taking is no one’s idea of fun, but it is part of life and shielding students from it does them a great

disservice.

Using testing to examine a teacher’s impact on student learning is also important.

Studies show that the single best reform we can implement is to put an excellent teacher in every class. Leaving the lowest-performing teachers in front of students sets them back and hurts their career trajectory.

Parents deserve transparent and objective data to assess teachers and schools. Just ask yourself: Would you want your child in a classroom with a teacher who helps students exceed expectations – or one whose students consistently fall below expectations?

Sadly, more often than not, poor children end up with teachers whom middle- and upper-income parents would refuse to accept for their children. One of the best ways to help identify such teachers is via regular data on student performance.

If we want to give all our children the skills they need to succeed, there’s no getting around testing – and as bad as a federal limit would be, Congress has an even worse idea. Republican-sponsored legislation would require changes to state accountability systems that would give schools incentive to keep kids out of testing – an odd and disgraceful instance of conservatives making common cause with the teachers union to impose a federal mandate on states.

The Common Core and other tough new standards adopted by states, along with the tests aligned to them, are exposing just how far our schools need to go. We ought to embrace that challenge, and make it a national mission to meet it in the near future. The president and the secretary of education have made a grave mistake by reflexively seeking to limit testing. If Congress embraces their politically driven proposal, it will come at the expense of our most at-risk children – making economic growth, along with social justice and racial progress, harder to achieve.

• Michael R. Bloomberg, the former mayor of New York City, is the founder and majority owner of Bloomberg LP, the parent company of Bloomberg News.

The public has a right to know what J. Dennis Hastert, former Speaker of the House and now a convicted felon, really did.

We saw Hastert on Wednesday shambling though the Dirksen Federal Building in downtown Chicago, the weight of his years and his fall from grace evident.

Hastert, of Yorkville, was the longest-serving Republican U.S. Speaker of the House, and in a twist of fate, was ensnared by bank reporting rules he helped expand through the Patriot Act. Hastert, who was questioned by federal officials after making repeated large cash bank withdrawals, admitted to lying to the FBI. In federal court Wednesday, Hastert told a judge he lied because he didn’t want them to know how he was spending the money According to The Associated Press, New York Times and other national media outlets, the cash was hush money paid to cover up sexual misconduct during Hastert’s time as a teacher and wrestling coach at Yorkville High School, where he worked from 1965 to ’81.

What did Hastert do?

It must have been serious. After all, not only was he willing to pay $3.5 million to hide it, but he was later willing to lie to federal investigators and then plead guilty to a federal crime to keep the public from knowing. After his guilty plea, Hastert could face a federal prison sentence of months or even years when he is sentenced Feb. 29.

But Hastert’s obligations go beyond serving time.

The America he helped to lead has a right to know what original sin is at the center of this web of crime, lies, and hush-money. We have a right to know where this allegation came from and whether Hastert, who for eight years held one of the highest political offices in the United States, was stalked by it during his career in public life.

The victim was taking Hastert’s money in exchange for silence – was there a settlement reached between the two, or was it extortion? If it was extortion, we question why the unnamed person has not been called to account for their role in this scandal. Is it because Hastert is the “big fish” that investigators wanted to land?

During his time in Congress, Hastert became tremendously wealthy, and later parlayed his connections into a lucrative lobbying career. He has the public to thank for that.

He owes us honesty, and some effort to make amends beyond months or years behind bars. An apology – one made publicly, with specifics – would be an excellent start.

ANOTHER VIEW

Fiscal truce is good enough, not perfect The bipartisan budget deal achieves some important objectives. First and foremost, the bill prevents a breach of the federal debt ceiling Tuesday, eliminating the threat of a default until March 2017.

This should boost business confidence and, possibly, job-creating investment. Second, it takes the federal government out of the budgetary straitjacket known as sequestration for the next two years, enabling Congress and the president to spend according to actual priorities instead of blunt across-the-board limitations.

There will be more for research and law enforcement; the military can improve readiness at a time of complex threats in Asia, the Middle East and Europe.

Last, but not least, the deal is a small victory for governability, showing that Republicans and Democrats, both houses of Congress and the executive branch can still work together, if only because they have run out of alternatives.

Alas, it still takes a drop, or two, of fiscal irresponsibility to lubricate such a compromise. The budget deal is not truly “paid for” with offsetting spending cuts or revenue increases. It authorizes $80 billion in sequester relief (additional spending above the previously legislated caps) during the next two years, evenly divided between defense and nondefense accounts. In addition, there will be $32 billionin new war- related overseas spending, split between the Pentagon and the State Department, which is deemed “emergency” funding not subject to pay-as-you-go rules.

To offset this $112 billion in spending, the bill identifies only $75.7 billion in revenue or budget cuts, according to the Congressional Budget Office.

While the vast majority of the new spending takes place this year and next, most of the savings kick in later – assuming lobbyists don’t undo them in the interim.

There are gimmicks and one-shot deals: $5 billion in sales of strategic petroleum; a $2.2 billion raid on accumulated fines and forfeited civil assets at the Justice Department; $5 billion in higher revenue conjured by “smoothing” the reported liabilities of government-insured private pensions.

To be sure, within the bill’s “pay-fors” are modest but real reforms of mandatory spending programs, the most significant of which would be a $3 billion cut to egregious crop insurance subsidies over the next decade. In addition, the bill would tighten procedures for Social Security Disability Insurance, saving about $4 billion over 10 years, while allowing the program to experiment with incentives to get recipients back to work.

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.

Blatter chastises FIFA ethics committee for ban

GENEVA – Taking a dictatorial approach to his role as FIFA president, Sepp Blatter (above left) lashed out at the ethics committee for being “against me” and criticized his 90-day ban as being “total nonsense.”

Blatter, who was suspended along with Michel Platini, made the comments during a wide-ranging and stinging interview published Wednesday by Russian state news agency Tass.

“And they wanted to say, ‘We, ethics committee, we are not at the service of the president, we are totally independent.’ This is wrong,” Blatter said in the interview.

“They can be independent but they don’t need to be against me.”

The longtime FIFA president also railed against several perceived enemies, including Platini, American authorities, the European Union and media in England and his native Switzerland.

He also seemed frustrated at losing control of decision-making power at soccer’s scandal-hit governing body.

“It’s total nonsense. This is not justice. I put these people into the office, where they are now in the ethics committee, and they don’t even have had the courage to listen to the secretary general, Platini or me,” Blatter said, also referring to the suspended Jerome Valcke.

Minnesota coach Jerry Kill is retiring because of health reasons, bringing to an abrupt end to his efforts to rebuild the Golden Gopher football program. The surprising announcement came one day after Kill missed a scheduled meeting with the media. Kill has epilepsy, and had to take a leave of absence from the team in 2013 while dealing with seizures.

Ex-NIU coach: ‘I’ve given every Stories about Kill define the coach VIEWS ounce that I have for 32 years’ John FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS

MINNEAPOLIS – Former Northern Illinois football coach Jerry Kill abruptly retired from his head coaching job at Minnesota on Wednesday, ending his efforts to rebuild the Golden Gopher football program during a tenure that included a series of gameday seizures.

No specific reason was cited in Minnesota’s retirement announcement other than health issues, but Kill has epilepsy and had to take a leave of absence from the team in 2013 while dealing with seizures.

The announcement came a day af-

ter Kill missed a scheduled meeting with the media.

“This is a tough moment for me and our players and our coaches,” an emotional Kill said at a press conference on Wednesday morning. “I’ve given every ounce that I have for 32 years to the game of football and the kids I’ve been able to coach. ... I know somebody will ask, ‘Coach, what are you gonna do?’ I don’t know. I ain’t done anything else. That’s the scary part.”

Kill coached the Huskies from 200810, with the Huskies qualifying for a bowl game all three years.

My favorite Jerry Kill stories are the ones other people like to tell.

My first full-time job out of college was at the Daily Chronicle. I got the Northern Illinois/high school sports beat, and it just so happened that the Huskies had hired a new football coach named Jerry Kill. So one of my first big features was explaining who Kill was.

Everybody heard the Kansas drawl and the “hard hat and lunch pail” platitudes. But who exactly was this guy? What stories did he have to tell?

His assistant coaches – the ones who stuck with him from Division II through the time he retired Wednesday at Minnesota – had plenty of good ones.

jseverson@shawmedia.com DeKALB – It’s likely a mustwin scenario for the Northern Illinois women’s soccer team heading into the season finale.

With the Huskies currently on the outside looking in for a spot in the Mid-American Conference tournament, a victory in today’s 2 p.m. final regular-season game against Western Michigan and some help from around the conference would get them into the Shaw Media file photo playoffs.

the tournament,” said sophomore Lauren Gierman, who leads the team with six goals on the season. “All of us have been working hard in practice during the week and are excited to see what (Thursday) has for us.”

The Huskies (3-12-2 overall, 2-6-2 MAC West, eight points) will have their hands full against the Broncos, who come into the match as the No. 2 seed in the conference with a 8-1-1 conference record and 25 points.

However, Huskies coach John Ross said he doesn’t want his team to come into the game

with the weight of the playoff situation on their minds.

“I think we’re going about it like it’s another game – they all know what’s on the line,” Ross said. “We’re not too worried about the result before it happens.”

NIU is only in a position for a chance to get into the tournament because of a strong finish to the season. The Huskies has not lost in their past three matches – getting five points with a 0-0 tie to Miami, a 2-0 victory at Bowling Green and a 1-1 tie at Eastern Michigan.

SPORTS BRIEFS Illinois’ Dudek will seek redshirt after injury CHAMPAIGN – Illinois receiver Mike Dudek will apply for a medical redshirt after missing most of the season with a torn ACL in his right knee.

Sports information director Kent Brown said Wednesday the sophomore will not play this season. Interim coach Bill Cubit has said for weeks that it was unlikely.

Junior receiver Justin Hardee also still could seek a redshirt but no decision has been made. Hardee broke a bone in his foot last summer and has yet to play.

Both were expected to start for the Illini (4-3, 1-2 Big Ten).

As a freshman last year, Dudek led Illinois with 76 catches for 1,038 yards.

IHSA

Concussions lawsuit dismissed

By MICHAEL TARM and SARA BURNETT The Associated Press CHICAGO – An Illinois judge has dismissed the nation’s first class-action concussions lawsuit against a prep sports governing body, saying the IHSA has taken steps to make football safer and that imposing costly requirements could force some schools to drop the sport.

The ruling by Cook County Judge Leroy Martin Jr., issued Tuesday, rejects a case brought on behalf of players who sought court supervision over how high schools manage football head injuries. The suit also calls for the IHSA, which oversees around 50,000 football players at hundreds of Illinois high schools each year, to pay for medical testing of former high school players extending back to 2002.

IHSA Executive Director Marty Hickman praised the decision Wednesday, saying the organization has worked to minimize the risk of injury in all sports.

“We maintain that the way to make high school football in Illinois safer is not through divisive lawsuits, but rather through collaborative efforts,” Hickman said. “We have followed this practice for years, and it’s obvious the Court

IHSA lawyer Thomas Heiden said during oral arguments in August that the IHSA and state legislators already are dealing with the head injury issue.

WORLD SERIES GAME 2: ROYALS 7, METS 1

Kansas City 2 wins away from title

Rod Stewart’s son makes his name in hockey ANCHORAGE, Alaska – Rock superstar Rod Stewart is wellknown for his love of soccer, especially the Celtic Football Club in Glasgow, Scotland.

Hockey, it turns out, is another matter.

Liam Stewart, 21, is the newest addition to the roster of the Alaska Aces, an ECHL development league team affiliated with the Minnesota Wild of the NHL. The 6-foot-1, 181-pound forward was traded to the Anchorage team from Missouri in early October after playing the past four years for the Spokane Chiefs.

Liam Stewart was born in London to Rod Stewart and his then-wife, supermodel Rachel Hunter. After the couple split, Liam grew up in the Los Angeles area with his mom.

He said his famous dad never pushed him to get into soccer, but he still played the sport until he was 13 or 14, when the hockey bug bit him.

World Series opener highest-rated since ’09 NEW YORK – The World Series opener between the Kansas City Royals and the Mets was the highest-rated Game 1 since 2009 – the previous time a New York team played for the championship.

Kansas City’s 5-4, 14-inning win Tuesday night was watched by 14.9 million viewers, according to Fox. The game received a 9.0 rating and a 17 share, the network said Wednesday, The rating was the highest for Game 1 since an 11.9 rating/19 share for the Philadelphia Phillies’ 6-1 win over the Yankees in 2009.

The viewership was the most since 15 million tuned in for San Francisco’s 11-7 victory over Texas in 2010.

The rating was up 22 percent from the 7.3/12 for San Francisco’s 7-1 romp over Kansas City in the first game last year and the viewers were up 22 percent from last year’s 12.2 million.

Kansas City was the highest-rated market at 57.3 – the highest in any market for an opener since at least 1996.

New York was second at 26.2.

– Wire reports

Plaintiffs attorney Joe Siprut countered that IHSA was employing “shock and awe” to raise the false specter of a threat to football itself, and that improving safety should help football survive, not lead to its demise. Siprut argued the sport already is in jeopardy because parents fearful of concussions are refusing to let their kids play, potentially drying up the talent pool.

He didn’t immediately respond Wednesday to phone messages seeking comment.

In his written decision, Martin said it’s clear the IHSA has worked to protect student-athletes, and that the association doesn’t have a direct relationship to football or the plaintiffs.

He also noted the potential impact of the lawsuit.

“Imposing broader liability on this defendant would certainly change the sport of football and potentially harm it or cause it to be abandoned,” Martin wrote.

The lead plaintiff in the lawsuit is Alex Pierscionek, a South Elgin High School lineman from 2010 to 2014. He said he still suffers memory loss from concussions he received at the school, one of which led to him being airlifted to an area hospital.

BULLS 115, NETS 100

Butler’s takeover fuels 2-0 start

By JOE COWLEY jcowley@suntimes.com NEW YORK – The offense again had moments where it looked clunky.

Poor spacing, not enough consistency in transition, and far too many turnovers, as “Hoiball” is definitely a process, and one that comes with some growing pains.

The good news for the Bulls?

Wins make that pain a lot more tolerable.

Thanks to 24 points from Jimmy Butler, the Bulls opened up the Fred Hoiberg era 2-0, after beating the Brooklyn Nets, 115-100, Wednesday night at the Barclays Center.

“I think we’re all learning,” Bulls big man Joakim Noah said of the new-look offense.

“We’re all learning from each other. There’s going to be mistakes out there, you know.

We’re all learning. There’s a different philosophy out here, but to me it’s more the energy we’re going to bring to the

Next for the Bulls Bulls at Detroit, 6:30 p.m.

Friday, CSN, AM-1000 game. That’s what I’m interested in.”

Energy definitely had its place Tuesday, as the Bulls hung on to beat the rival Cleveland Cavaliers in their regular-season opener. But in a game such as Wednesday’s, playing in a back-to-back against a team that should already start scouting the draft lottery? The Bulls needed some early defense and Butler to take over down the stretch, scoring 10 points in the final stanza.

“He was phenomenal tonight,” Hoiberg said of Butler’s performance. “We wanted to get the ball in his hands to make plays. He hit Niko (Mirotic) for a big 3, he drove to the

basket on a ball-screen from Pau (Gasol), and hit a big shot, so he was great tonight. Not only offensively, but defensively, as well.”

Then again, life was much easier for Butler not having to spend so much energy guarding a LeBron James for more than 36 minutes as he did 24 hours earlier.

Against Brooklyn, he could focus on scoring, as well as play-making – evident by his six assists. All the meanwhile, further getting more acquainted with the Hoiberg offense.

“Yeah, I think everybody is,” Butler said of that learning process. “I think we’re a really unselfish team, to a fault sometimes. We’ll have a really good shot and then we’ll give it up, all because there’s so much space on the floor.”

Rose finished the game 5 for 11 from the field and scoring 15 points, but still was dealing with his vision problems from a Sept. 30 surgery to repair a fractured orbital bone.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Johnny Cueto smothered the New York Mets with another big October outing. And the pesky Kansas City Royals kept fouling off Jacob deGrom’s best pitches, wearing him down with persistence and prowess.

Cueto never faltered.

And as deGrom wore down, the Royals pounced.

Eric Hosmer hit a tiebreaking, two-run single with two outs in a four-run fifth inning that included 14 foul balls, and the Royals rallied to beat the Mets, 7-1, Wednesday night and take a 2-0 World Series lead.

Nineteen hours after Hosmer’s sacrifice fly won a 14-inning thriller, Cueto pitched a two-hitter, varying his delivery with occasional quick pitches and keeping the Mets off balance. An excited crowd stood on its feet for long stretches on the rainy night. Some fans wore wigs resembling Cueto’s long, dark dreadlocks – including the Royals’ mascot, Slugerrr.

With Kansas City two wins from its its first title since 1985, the teams take today off. New York’s Citi Field hosts its first Series game Friday, when rookie Noah Syndergaard starts for the Mets and Yordano Ventura for the Royals.

Forty-one of the 51 teams to take 2-0 leads in best-of-seven World Series have gone on to win the title, including nine straight since Atlanta stumbled against the New York Yankees in 1996.

Kansas City had the best contact hitters in the major leagues this season, missing on just 19.7 percent of its swings, according to STATS. The Dodgers and Cubs swung and missed 58 times in his first three postseason outings, but he got just three swings and misses against the Royals – his career low. Of his 94 pitches, 23 were fouled off by the Royals.

Northern Illinois has allowed only one goal in past three games • SOCCER Continued from page B1 “All the players know we were good early in the year and just didn’t get the results and we took a dip because the confidence went,” Ross said. “We were able to find a little confidence and it’s coming back game-by-game.”

The Huskies defense and sophomore goalkeeper Amy Annala have been strong late-

ly, only allowing the one goal in the past three games.

“Everybody’s going to have to step up,” said Annala, who recently was named the MAC Defensive Player of the Week.

“Once we got on the same page, we figured it out this weekend and settled down. I think we made a lot of improvements.”

Coming into the match against Western Michigan, the Huskies and Eastern Michigan both have eight points on the season – behind Ohio (5-12 over-

all, 3-7 MAC East) and Akron (6-11-1, 3-7 MAC East), both of which have nine points.

The Bobcats close out at Kent State (18 points), and the Zips are at home against Buffalo (19 points). Akron holds the tiebreaker if the Zips, Bobcats and Huskies all finish with nine points.

Ross said there’s a scenario where a tie against the Broncos – along with a Bowling Green (six points) win and losses by Ohio and Akron – could be

enough to get the Huskies into the playoffs.

“Everybody’s still alive,” Ross said. “There’s a million scenarios but we have to make sure we’re taking care of what we can take care of.”

However, the Broncos potentially could have nothing to play for against the Huskies. Ball State (27 points) plays against Miami earlier in the day and if the Cardinals win, Western Michigan will be locked into the No. 2 seed.

MINNESOTA AT BEARS, NOON SUNDAY, FOX, AM-780

NFL BRIEFS Giants do not intend to use Pierre-Paul on Sunday

NFL LEADERBOARD

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Two-time Pro Bowl defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul is back with the New York Giants more than three months after losing a finger in a July 4 fireworks accident.

Wearing white gloves on his hands, the 26-year-old PierrePaul did calisthenics with the team Wednesday and then worked with members of the medical staff while the rest of the Giants went through drills with their units.

The main question is how long is it going to take Pierre-Paul to be ready to play? His right index finger was amputated, his thumb was injured and his hand sustained burns in the accident.

After the warmup, PierrePaul ran some sprints, stretched, talked to equipment manager Joe Skiba, and pushed a sled roughly 10 yards at a pop, all at the far corner of the team’s indoor facility on a rainy day.

Roethlisberger silent about playing

PITTSBURGH – Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin expects Ben Roethlisberger back under center Sunday against Cincinnati. Roethlisberger isn’t so sure just yet.

The two-time Super Bowl winner is playing it safe in his return after missing four games with a sprained knee and a bruised leg, saying Wednesday he’s “not going to get his hopes up” about playing Sunday.

Roethlisberger plans to be in the lineup against the undefeated Bengals in a key AFC North showdown, and he practiced in full Wednesday.

But he’s also exercising caution after experiencing some discomfort in his knee after a practice late last week.

Titans’ Mariota limited with sprained knee

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota returned to practice Wednesday, and the rookie said his left knee is feeling better.

Whether he plays Sunday when the Titans visit Houston remains to be seen.

The Titans officially listed Mariota as limited and want to be sure the No. 2 pick overall is recovered from the sprained MCL in his left knee when he plays again.

Coach Ken Whisenhunt said Mariota took part in all of the individual drills and got better as practice progressed.

But Whisenhunt sees this as a day-to-day process with everyone evaluating how Mariota feels Thursday.

Tough task ahead

Young Bears ‘D’ can’t let up in defending Peterson

By KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@chicagofootball.com LAKE FOREST – Will Sutton was 16 years old when Adrian Peterson ran for 224 yards in 2007 in the Vikings’ last win at Soldier Field.

Now, Sutton is expected to be a starting defensive lineman on a new-look group trying to contain one of the best backs in the league.

“I know it’s Adrian Peterson, but we’ve got to go out there like every other week – stop the run,” Sutton said Wednesday. “It starts with us up front, we’ve got to stop the run, no matter who it is.”

Asked if he was excited, Sutton responded, “Heck yeah.

But we’re in the NFL. We’re all pros. He’s been doing it for a while, but I’ve got to go out there and not lose focus on my job.

“I can’t just sit there and say, ‘That’s AP on the other side.’ I’ve got to go get him.”

This will be Sutton’s first time playing against Peterson, same with Eddie Goldman and Christian Jones, but Antrel Rolle has faced the Vikings

five times in his career, racking up 27 total tackles. He’s hoping to return from a high ankle sprain to help the run defense.

“There’s not too many tips you can give about Adrian Peterson. He’s an all-around beast,” Rolle said. “He can catch the ball out of the backfield, and we obviously know what he can do when he has the ball in his hands. He’s a

HOUSTON – Houston Texans coach Bill O’Brien denied Wednesday that he and general manager Rick Smith had a confrontation Saturday about whether to cut Ryan Mallett.

His comments come after a report said Smith overruled O’Brien, who wanted to cut Mallett on Saturday after the quarterback missed the team’s charter flight to Miami.

That move would have left the Texans without a backup quarterback for Sunday’s game. The Texans released Mallett on Tuesday.

O’Brien opened his news conference Wednesday by saying: “Rick Smith and I both have respect for each other.

We work together every day.

We communicate every day.

It’s a partnership. Decisions are made by two of us.”

Asked if there was a confrontation Saturday, O’Brien said no.

The missed flight comes after Mallett, who started four games this season, also missed a practice in training camp because he overslept.

He blamed the latest gaffe on traffic and took a commercial flight to meet to team.

Vikings’ balance will test D

By ARTHUR ARKUSH aarkush@chicagofootball.com LAKE FOREST – The Vikings have the NFL’s 30thranked offense, but is coming off its best performance.

As do the Bears, Minnesota features one of the game’s best backs and is overseen by a creative, adaptable coordinator.

Norv Turner has made a living off a power-run game that keys play-action passes, but as does Adam Gase tailoring to Jay Cutler’s strengths, Turner has altered his plan to best suit second-year passer Teddy Bridgewater.

“They’ve gone to more gun,” Vic Fangio said. “They even have the gun read in their game. ... They’ve got a balanced offense. They run, play-action pass, mix in the boots that he does well with, and I think it’s been a good marriage between the both of them in that they’ve both adjusted.”

Although Minnesota’s run

game is ranked sixth and the passing game checks in at 30th, few clubs boast the Vikings’ offensive symmetry – 181 runs and 181 passes.

That, paired with perennial home-run threat Adrian Peterson in the backfield and capable deep threats in Mike Wallace and rookie sensation Stefon Diggs, makes Minnesota especially lethal on play-action, which spurred three of its biggest chunk plays in Detroit.

“They’ve got two playmakers at receiver, along with Peterson in the backfield and (Kyle) Rudolph at tight end.

They’ve done a nice job assembling their skill positions,” Fangio said.

Peterson said Wednesday Bridgewater is playing smarter – and with more confidence – in recent weeks. That it has coincided with Diggs’ ascent likely isn’t by accident, and Bridgewater is beginning to drive the ball downfield more frequently and with better results.

LAKE FOREST – One Bears starter remained out during Wednesday’s practice – Shea McClellin (knee).

Antrel Rolle (ankle) was limited, along with Jermon Bushrod (shoulder), Patrick Omameh (ankle), Matt Slauson (knee, shoulder) and Hroniss Grasu (neck).

Defensive lineman Bruce Gaston (illness) did not practice.

“I feel all right. I’m still grinding, I’m still working, I’m trying to get back to 100 percent,” Rolle said. He suffered the high ankle sprain in the win over the Raiders on Oct. 4. “You know, it’s going to be a constant grind, it’s going to be a constant grind for the rest of the year. I’ve had this injury before and it’s an injury that pretty much you feel all season long. It’s just a matter of pain tolerance and feeling comfortable with running and breaking and all that good stuff.”

Rolle said he is working to return to the field Sunday against the Vikings, and his familiarity with the injury should help.

For the first time all season, Alshon Jeffery was not

SPORTS 3

on the Bears’ injury report, as he has recovered from the hamstring injury that kept him out Weeks 2 through 6.

Eddie Royal was also a full participant after battling an ankle injury.

“It’s great,” Royal said.

“Just to be out there at practice and, it’s hard to explain, but it’s good to be practicing again. It’s good to not be watching from the sidelines.”

Will Sutton (elbow), who will have an increased role with Ego Ferguson on injured reserve and Jeremiah Ratliff released, also didn’t have his name on the injury report.

“It’s alright. I’m not going to be 100 percent all year, but I’ll be fine,” he said.

“The bye week helped a lot.

I feel a lot better, especially compared to last year.”

Corralling Cordarrelle: Two years ago, Cordarrelle Patterson returned the opening kickoff at Soldier Field 105 yards for a touchdown. Now solely a returner, Patterson is averaging 25.2 yards a return and remains a weapon for Minnesota.

While the Bears’ coverage teams were sound against Detroit, they are still last in the league in kickoff return yards allowed.

Former Northern Illinois coach Jerry Kill looks over his team during a walk-through for the Mid-American Conference Championship on Dec. 2, 2010, at Ford Field in Detroit.

Kill ends career with 156-102 record • KILL Continued from page B1 The final season under Kill – 2010 – was the first of a stretch of five years in which the Huskies have won at least 11 wins.

The Huskies went 6-7 in 2008 – with four losses by four points or fewer – and 7-6 in 2009 before going 11-3 in 2010.

Former Huskies went to social media to express their gratitude toward their former coach.

“The impact Coach Kill had on everyone is evident today seeing the support for his retirement,” tweeted former linebacker Patrick Schiller, who was with NIU from 2007 to 2011 and is now playing for the Atlanta Falcons. “He taught me to be a man, went beyond football.”

While current NIU coach Rod Carey came to the school in 2011, he praised Kill for not only helping him, but elevating the program that he eventually took over.

“There’s no doubt coach Kill helped set the stage for where we are as a program right now,” Carey said. “Personally, he was always willing to help and spend time with me, talk with me as I started out as a head coach. He is just a gen-

uine, genuine person who is stepping aside for all the right reasons. It’s so hard because we’re going to miss him.”

Former NIU player and coach PJ Fleck also tweeted his appreciation for the former Huskie coach.

“Working (for) Coach Kill was a life changer!” tweeted Fleck, who is now the coach for Western Michigan. “He was the most ‘caring’ coach I have ever met! Always put people before football! Love ya Coach!”

Fleck was an assistant coach under Joe Novak, but Kill retained him when he took over in 2008.

After a 3-9 campaign with the Gophers in Kill’s first season, they made a bowl game the past three years and are 4-3 this year. Defensive coordinator Tracy Claeys, who has worked with Kill for the past 21 years, has been named interim coach.

Kill missed at least a portion of five games in his first three seasons at Minnesota because of seizures, including one that occurred on the field during a game against New Mexico State in 2011 and another during halftime of a game against Michigan State the following year. He also had gameday seizures in 2001 and 2005 while he was at Southern Illinois. Another occurred after a

loss to Northwestern in 2011.

Kill announced in July that he had been seizure-free for the past 18 months and was able to make it through all of last season and the first seven games this year without one.

The 54-year-old Kill was 156102 in coaching career and 2929 in four and a half seasons at Minnesota.

“Last night, when I walked off the practice field,” Kill said before pausing for several seconds. “I felt like a part of me died. I love this game. I love what it’s done for my family. I thank God for giving me the opportunity to coach this game.”

Kill, a plain-talking Kansas native, was named Big Ten coach of the year in 2014, after a season in which the Gophers went 8-5, including 5-3 in the Big Ten for their first winning record in conference play since 2003. The Gophers lost to Missouri in the Citrus Bowl, their first New Year’s Day bowl game since 1962.

Kill signed a contract extension in August that increased his pay to $2.5 million a season.

The contract includes language that plans for any health-related absences and would also allow him to “transition” to another position in the athletic department at a substantially reduced salary.

cool Keeping it

Award-winning jazz artist to perform in Sandwich

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

K

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com

athy Kosins has traveled throughout the nation and Europe and is looking forward to visiting the Sandwich House of Opera this Saturday.

Kosins is an award-winning jazz artist who says her passion has always been music.

“I just opened my mouth and started singing,” she said. “I’ve done this my entire adult life. I sing in multiple genres – jazz, rhythm and blues and soul. … There is no separation of jazz, R&B and soul. It’s just how I use my voice.”

Kosins is based in Michigan and just finished recording a new album called “Uncovered Soul.” She says that what makes her work unique is that she not only writes her own pieces, but also extracts little-known songs from other artists, such as Curtis Mayfield and Eugene McDaniels, to showcase in her own way.

“I had to really mine the depths of these catalogs to find the most interesting songs,” she said. “I record them and put my spin on them.”

Much of Kosins’ Saturday show in Sandwich will feature music from her 2012 album “To the Ladies of Cool,” which is what she describes as an exploration of the famed “West Coast Cool” movement of the 1950s and 1960s, made famous by artists like Anita O’Day, Chris Connor, Julie London and June Christy.

“I pay homage and raise a glass to those women who were prototypes of the movement,” Kosins said.

If you go WHAT: Kathy Kosins performance WHEN: 8 p.m. Saturday WHERE: Sandwich House of Opera, 140 E. Railroad Avenue, Sandwich INFORMATION: Tickets available online at sandwichoperahouse.org or at the door.

Life on tour can get hectic – spending hours on planes, trains and buses before turning around auditions and performances with a touch of jet lag, but what Kosins finds most rewarding is performing.

“The reward is easy,” she said. “It’s the singing. Showing up, performing and sharing music with people. … I’ve met a lot of interesting people along the way.”

Kosins is also a painter and frequently incorporates improvisational art into her musical performances, painting as the band plays. She teaches clinics on both painting and vocal jazz.

While Kosins is new to the opera house, they are excited to bring her in for the show, said Christine Roe, interim executive director and house manager of Opera House of Sandwich.

“Last season there wasn’t a lot of jazz,” she said. “So it will be unique to the area.”

The show will take place on Halloween and attendees are welcome to come in costume. Kosins said she’d give away a CD to the person wearing the best costume.

“Even if it’s a small crowd, they will get a great concert,” Kosins said. “I’m really looking forward to it and I’m hoping a lot of people show.”

CCT announces auditions for production of ‘Oliver!’

DeKALB – Children’s Community Theatre has announced that its spring show will be “Oliver!”

Based on Charles Dickens’ classic novel “Oliver Twist,” the show tells the story of an orphan in Victorian London, who falls in with a band of street urchin pickpockets. The leaders of that group, the sinister Fagan and the evil Bill Sykes, conspire to use the

innocent boy to help them swindle an aristocrat who takes Oliver in.

The show, which was a hit on Broadway for decades in various productions and revivals, features songs such as “Food Glorious Food,” “Consider Yourself,” and “You’ve Got to Pick a Pocket or Two.” “It’s a wonderful show, full of great songs, with roles for all

ages,” said Sue Graham, who will direct the show for CCT. “This is a great opportunity for moms, dads and kids to experience the thrill of being a part of a major musical production.”

Auditions for the show will be from 2 to 6 p.m. Nov. 8 and 6 to 9 p.m. Nov. 9 at the First United Methodist Church, 321 Oak St. in DeKalb.

The show is open to actors ages 8 and older. Those wishing to audition should come prepared to sing a few bars of a song (a capella) and to cold read a passage from the script.

Performances will be on March 11-13 and March 18-20, at the Egyptian Theatre, and there will be a school-day matinée at a discount to classes from area schools.

This movie might not be your brand of ‘Crisis’

By ED SYMKUS More Content Now The timing is definitely right for a film about the marketing of presidential candidates. And because of the ways both the Republicans and the Democrats are dealing with their own collections of nominees, it’s even better that the film is a satire.

But “Our Brand Is Crisis” is more than your run-of-the-mill satire. It’s sort of based on a real event. The proper term would be “suggested by” an actual story, one that was captured in the 2005 documentary with the same title, in which American marketing was used in a 2002 foreign presidential election.

So here we have a Hollywoodized version of the same thing, focusing on the fictional Jane Bodine (Sandra Bullock), a once-in-demand political strategist who, after a few setbacks (violation of election laws, a stay at the Betty Ford Clinic, a string of losing campaigns), just walked away from it all.

But now a public relations team from her past comes calling because

Review Our Brand Is Crisis Written by Peter Straughan; directed by David Gordon Green.

With Sandra Bullock, Billy Bob Thornton, Anthony Mackie, Scoot McNairy, Joaquim de Almeida; rated R they need her expertise, and she’s talked into at least thinking about signing on to her first presidential campaign in six years. For the record, it’s for the presidential election in Bolivia. The question is will it be worth it? After all, she’s quit smoking and drinking, and she’s finally able to sleep at night. But then she finds out the main competition in the election has hired her arch nemesis Pat Candy (Billy Bob Thornton), the strategist who had beaten her in her past three elections. Oh, yeah, she’s on board.

When Jane and her team arrive in La Paz, 90 days before the election, Pat’s candidate, Rivera, is ahead of

Sandra Bullock stars as Jane Bodine, a political strategist in “Our Brand Is Crisis.” their candidate, the much-disliked former President Castillo (Joaquim de Almeida, who you’ll recall as the vile Ramon Salazar on “24”), by 30 points.

You’d think the script immediately would jump to the story of how to handle the situation, and to a degree it does. Jane, who knows her stuff, wants to popularize Castillo by letting him show his true colors –

that he’s a strong, even belligerent candidate who will help the people of Bolivia. She wants to make everyone root for him, including the indigenous protesters who are demanding someone solve the social-economic crisis going on there. (This is a movie that’s not going to do anything positive for the Bolivian tourist trade.)

But while that plotline is what the film appears to be about, the real

story concerns the strained professional relationship between Jane and Pat. Their history of working against each other is well told, but there might be something else going on there, perhaps something of a less professional nature. One of the fun parts of the script is that it isn’t made clear.

They’re both great at what they do; they both despise and admire each other; he’s a smooth operator; she’s someone you don’t want to cross.

And Bullock and Thornton each give terrific performances as characters that remain unpredictable concerning how far they’ll go to make their candidate win.

If only screenwriter Peter Straughan (“Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy”) and director David Gordon Green (“Pineapple Express”) stuck with those elements, instead of inserting unnecessary characters (Zoe Kazan as a dirt-digging computer nerd) and silly “action” sequences (one in a nightclub, another on a wild bus ride), this might have been a film to please general viewers as well as political junkies.

4 ADVICE & PUZZLES • Thursday, October 29, 2015 • Section C • Daily Chronicle / Daily-Chronicle.com

Granddaughter with sticky fingers caught in the act Dear Abby: I caught my 12-year-old granddaughter stealing.

She took one of my favorite hair products, which isn’t a big deal, but I’m torn over how to approach her and if I should inform her parents. There was another possible theft once before when she visited me.

Some makeup blush disappeared. I dismissed it, but now I have concerns.

How should I handle this?

I love her unconditionally, but this needs to be addressed and I don’t know how. I’m prepared that she might deny my accusation. Then what? – Alarmed in Rhode Island Dear Alarmed: Tell your

granddaughter that you enjoy having her visit, but you

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips noticed that several items had disappeared after she stayed with you. Ask her if she took them. Regardless of how she responds, tell her that if she wants to use something of yours, before she does, she should ask permission. If it happens after that, discuss it with her parents then.

Dear Abby: My brother is a recovering heroin addict.

He stayed clean for almost a year until a few months ago, when he relapsed. He hasn’t used again since his slip and continues to go to outpatient

treatment.

My boyfriend, whom I recently moved in with, doesn’t want him to come to the house.

He says it’s to protect “his nest,” and I understand why.

I have tried talking with him about it because I feel that I can’t have any other family members over, but that doesn’t seem to matter to him.

My brother heard he isn’t welcome and I feel absolutely terrible.

I’m not sure how to rectify the situation. If my boyfriend can’t accept my family, how is this relationship supposed to last? But another part of me wonders if his feelings are justified, and perhaps I have been too accepting of all the mistakes and grief my brother

has caused my family and me.

– Sad Sister in Ohio Dear Sad Sister: If your

brother has stolen from the family in order to feed his habit, your boyfriend has a valid point in not wanting him in the house.

His reaction is intelligent.

However, the ban should not extend to your entire family, and this is something you need to clarify. If your boyfriend’s objective is to isolate you from all of your relatives, it’s a red flag that shouldn’t be ignored.

Dear Abby: My daughter is marrying a wonderful young man who not only loves her, but also her 7-month-old daughter, who is not his. My question is one of etiquette.

During the wedding ceremo-

ny, if my granddaughter starts crying, should I get up and leave with her? She’s a little Mama’s girl and might start to fuss.

I’d hate to miss my daughter’s wedding, but don’t want it to be ruined for her guests.

What is the proper thing to do?

– Bride’s Mom On The East Coast Dear Bride’s Mom: The prop-

er thing to do is to ask your daughter – well in advance of the wedding – what SHE would like done in the event that her daughter starts crying or acting up during the ceremony.

• Write to Dear Abby at www.dearabby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Inspect your skin regularly to check for changes in moles Dear Dr. K: My doctor just discovered that I have melanoma, but didn’t really explain the treatment. Can you tell me what I’m in for?

Dear Reader: Melanoma is skin cancer that begins in the melanocytes – cells that give skin its color. Usually these cells first form a precancerous condition called a dysplastic (diss-PLAS-tik) mole. Then the cells turn cancerous and start to reproduce aggressively.

When that happens, the melanoma grows in size. Unfortunately, some of the cells also can shake loose from the tumor and spread throughout the body. When that happens, the cells first spread to the local lymph nodes, then on to the rest of the body. If mela-

ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff noma has not spread, it can be cured.

If your melanoma appears in just one spot, it will be surgically removed. The doctor removes the visible part of the tumor. He or she will also remove some healthy skin around the tumor. (The exact amount will depend on the size of the tumor.) The extra skin is removed because it can contain microscopic bits of the cancer. You want all of the cancerous cells removed.

In some cases, the doctor may perform a procedure during which the tumor is shaved away one thin layer

at a time. Each layer is examined under a microscope as it is removed. This technique helps the doctor remove as little healthy skin as possible.

Your doctor may also want to check if the melanoma has spread to nearby lymph nodes. These small structures are part of the immune system. To check, your doctor may inject a radioactive liquid into the tumor. The liquid flows through the natural drainage pathway that connects the tumor to nearby lymph nodes.

The drainage path can be tracked. The first lymph node along the path is called the sentinel node. This node is removed and examined for cancer cells. If the sentinel

node has no cancer, the other nodes are most often cancer-free. If cancer is found in the sentinel node, all the lymph nodes in the area will likely be removed.

In addition to surgery, treatments for melanoma include immunotherapy.

This treatment strengthens the immune system against the cancer. Recently developed techniques for stimulating your immune system to attack the cancer have sometimes been dramatically effective. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy are also available, but tend to be less effective.

Newer drugs target specific genetic changes seen in people with certain forms of melanoma. For example,

about half of melanomas have genetic changes (mutations) in a gene called BRAF. This mutation signals melanoma cells to grow and divide quickly. Drugs that inhibit BRAF and related proteins are now available.

The sooner melanoma is identified and treated, the better. Everyone should inspect their skin regularly. If you notice any moles with uneven color, an irregular border, or a border that changes over time, see your doctor. (I’ve put a photo of a cancerous mole on my website, www. askdoctork.com.)

Successful transition to new school requires positive attitude Dr. Wallace: I’m 15 and in the 10th grade in a public high school. My parents have decided I should attend a private high school connected with our church next semester. I have told them I don’t want to go to the private school, but they have enrolled me and paid the tuition already.

I’m not happy with their decision since all my friends will be going to the public high school.

The new school doesn’t have a football team, and it doesn’t offer school dances or extracurricular activities.

I’ve begged my parents to let me stay at our public school, but they are concerned about all the drugs

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace and violence in public schools.

I have seen a fight or two, but never any drugs or weapons on our campus.

How can I get my parents to reconsider and let me continue where I am? Then, if things change and there is a lot of trouble at our school, I would agree to transfer to the private school. – Jake, Boston Jake: There’s probably no way your parents will reverse their decision now since they have paid tuition and enrolled you already. So

HOROSCOPE

my advice is to concentrate on making the best of the situation. I know it is hard for teens to be separated from their friends, and you are concentrating on the sense of loss you feel. But right now, you should take a look at what you have to gain.

You will have different experiences than you have at the public school, but they will not be inferior.

You’ll be making new friends and have an opportunity to take some classes that might not be offered at the public school. I urge you to give your new school a chance.

Sometimes life is what you make it. Students can get a good education or be

TODAY – Stick to your objectives this year. Eliminating nervous tension will be easy once you have a plan in place. Your networking skills will be instrumental in forming partnerships with people who offer better alternatives. Travel and educational pursuits can help you achieve your vision.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Boredom will set in if you don’t make a concerted effort to find something that piques your interest.

Get involved in an organization that supports environmental or conservation issues and make a difference.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – You will be disappointed if you are too trusting. Make sure the people you share your secrets with have your best interests at heart. Someone will make you look bad.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Follow your own path. The strategies that worked for someone else will not be right for you. Pick up some pointers from experienced individuals, but in the end, add a personal touch.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – You have much to lose and little to gain if you end up in an emotional tug-of-war with a family member. Admit that you don’t have all the answers and try to work on an amicable compromise.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – You are more talented than you think. The possibility of turning one of your skills into a moneymaking venture should be investigated. Ask someone who has experienced success doing so.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Don’t back down. Put your heart and soul into whatever you do and you will achieve success. You will gain self-satisfaction once you begin to see the progress you make.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Update your resume, set up an interview or ask for a raise or promotion. Valuable opportunities are apparent. Minor health issues should be dealt with promptly.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – An interesting offer will be awarded to you. Don’t dwell on personal setbacks or disappointments.

A self-improvement regimen will give you more energy and the confidence to excel.

Dr. Wallace: I don’t always agree with you, but I respect most of your advice. I’ve been reading your column for a long time, and I notice that if a young girl is pregnant and writes to you for advice, you never direct her to a clinic where she can get an abortion.

In cases where the parents do not accept the responsibility of giving guidance, the young lady should seek help and counsel from relatives, school personnel or members of the clergy.

BRIDGE Phillip Alder

CROSSWORD

Even an eight can become a trick Robert Frost said, “By working faithfully eight hours a day, you may eventually get to be boss and work 12 hours a day.”

At major bridge tournaments, there are two sessions of play, each lasting almost four hours – eight hours a day.

But this deal revolves around the trump eight. How does it have a key role to play?

South is in four hearts.

West leads the diamond 10 in answer to his partner’s opening bid. What should happen after that?

South, with a good eightcard suit and no outside values, correctly jumped straight to the four-level. He hoped that if he could not make his contract, he might force the opponents into an erroneous decision.

Note that five diamonds doubled by East could cost a painful 1,400, North-South taking two spades, one heart, three clubs and a spade ruff

by South.

East wins the first trick with his diamond queen, cashes the diamond ace, and continues with the diamond king, which South ruffs with his heart queen.

West might think that it cannot cost to overruff. But first, he should ask himself what he will do next. East cannot have a quick entry. Also, as the heart king will always score a trick, it cannot gain to overruff. West should discard.

South crosses to the dummy and leads the heart nine, which is covered by East’s 10 and South’s jack.

Now West can take his king, and suddenly his eight has become a trick.

So, if you have nothing important to do, calmly discard; perhaps even an eight will be promoted as a winner.
