DeKalb County foreclosures drop

Ebola patient’s family moved

Although the statistics seem to show things are looking up, the public could start to see more foreclosures coming onto the market this year, said Laura Boyer, managing broker at Coldwell Banker Honig-Bell.

“Many speculate that we will see another influx of foreclosed homes coming to the market,” Boyer said in an email. “Our early data trending in 2014 can be a testament to some truth in that speculation.”

The police’s job in checking on a foreclosed home is mostly reactive, DeKalb police Lt. James McDougall said.

DeKALB – Almost every morning, a concerned Herbert Rubin walks past the foreclosed home at 628 Culver St. in DeKalb.

Rubin, a retired sociology professor at Northern Illinois University, said he wants someone to check inside the home to see if there are any possible dangers.

What’s rolling through town?

DeKalb County officials don’t sweat local rail traffic

Crew disinfects Dallas home where man stayed

By DAVID WARREN and JAMIE STENGLE The Associated Press DALLAS – A hazardous-materials crew decontaminated the Texas apartment Friday where an Ebola patient was staying when he got sick, while public-health officials cut by half the number of people being monitored for any symptoms of the deadly disease.

Hours later, the family that was living in the apartment was moved to a private residence in a gated community that was offered by a volunteer.

The decontamination team was to collect bed sheets, towels and a mattress used by the infected man before he was hospitalized, as well as a suitcase and other personal items belonging to Thomas Eric Duncan, officials said.

The crew planned to place the items in industrial barrels and take them to a storage facility, according to Dallas County Fire Marshal Robert De Los Santos.

Once the proper permits are issued, the materials were to be hauled away for permanent disposal, probably by incineration at a landfill.

EDITOR’S NOTE Eric Olson walkways.

The waiting area around the gates was crowded with people who had places to be and no idea when or how they’d get there. There were a lot of phone conversations, people saying things like, “I’ll get there soon as I can ... I’m sorry.”

Others were in standby limbo, or even talking about taking a train somewhere.

I almost felt guilty when a plane showed up from Washington Dulles International Airport, and they said we could board.

On the plane, they told us that the pilots had to manually create a flight plan.

They also had to fly low – about 5,000 feet – until we were 150 miles outside Chicago airspace, when we could be seen on radar.

Then we sat in a queue on the tarmac for about 40 minutes, because they wanted 10 minutes between takeoffs.

In the end, a flight that was scheduled to leave at 12:02 p.m. was only delayed about 2 hours. I had a row of seats to myself, probably because so many people’s connecting flights had been canceled.

The flight must have been scheduled just at the right time – minutes after noon – and so we were among the first to go. I was grateful that United was able to get me out of there, and perhaps the peril made me enjoy the trip a little more.

Also, it’s hop-harvesting season in Oregon. That helped, too.

The bigger issue: One mentally unstable man was able to do tremendous damage to our national transportation network.

True, less than nine hours after Howard started the fire at his workplace, air traffic had resumed, but things are still not right – the simple threat of rain this week led to hundreds of additional flight cancellations Thursday in Chicago.

Most of us – myself included – don’t

give much thought to the infrastructure required to make air travel work. We buy our tickets and take what goes into the ride for granted.

But this is the second time in less than five months that there’s been a fire that’s disrupted air traffic control operations around Chicago. A May 13 fire caused by a malfunctioning HVAC motor at a center in Elgin caused flight delays and cancellations, although not on the level of the latest incident.

So it’s time to get a better handle on this. These centers clearly are critical, and they might need a higher level of security, better screening of employees, and a better contingency plans for when something goes wrong.

U.S. Sens. Dick Durbin and Mark Kirk have called for investigations into the incident, and it’s one that the FAA and others had better examine closely to determine what steps they can take to prevent it in the future, and to develop better backup plans.

Then we can get back to people just complaining about the airlines.

Changes to the paper: Many of you no doubt have noticed some changes in our Wednesday and Friday editions this week.

Geez, of all days to catch a flight I was just outside Aurora on Interstate 88, heading for O’Hare Airport when I heard the news on the radio.

“Just because you have a ticket doesn’t mean you’ll be flying anywhere,” the voice said.

As we know now, a 36-year-old man named Brian Howard had started a fire at the FAA radar facility in Aurora as part of a suicide attempt.

Hundreds of flights were being canceled around the country, air traffic had come to a halt in Chicago. It was the national lead story. By Friday night, more than 2,000 flights into and out of Chicago would be scrubbed.

Naturally, this happens on one of the two or three times a year I fly somewhere.

I was booked on a midday flight on United, bound for Portland, Oregon, for a long-planned trip to visit my recently relocated brother and his family. The tickets hadn’t been cheap, and since it was to be a short trip, the time was just as valuable.

I got off at Orchard Road, pulled into a hotel parking lot, called United customer service, as hundreds of other people were doing. The robot that answered the phone told me it would be awhile.

So I left the phone on speaker and got back on the highway. The tinkling sound of hold music mingled with the radio and my muttering the rest of the 50 minutes or so to the airport.

A customer service rep picked up just as I was about to park. She told me that my flight would be delayed a couple of hours, but was still scheduled to go.

I was extra nice – I’m sure she’d been talking to some frustrated people that morning – but I didn’t believe her.

The terminal was filled with exasperated travelers trying to figure out what they were going to do now, long lines of anxious would-be passengers, and reporters.

There was a TV camera on a tripod beneath the flight schedule board, which was filled with canceled flights but said mine was “on time.” So I pressed on, through security and the area with the neon lights and moving

sometimes go through a full cardiac arrest, like we had here.”

The FAA is in the midst of transitioning from a 1950s-era radar-based system to one based on GPS. Known as NextGen, the FAA’s more modern satellite-based program should enable more seamless operations. But it is years from being fully rolled out.

As part of that program, a communications system will be in place in about two years that will allow seamless routing of communications between air traffic facilities, Huerta said.

Kirk called for quicker action, stressing the high stakes.

“O’Hare is the beating heart of the U.S. economy. It can never stop,” Kirk said.

A week after the fire, flight operations at O’Hare and Midway airports have still not fully recovered.

The damage to the economy has been significant. The U.S. Travel Association put a partial estimate at nearly $123 million in lost economic activity associated with just the 3,900 flights canceled in the four days immediately after the fire.

Nobel peace panel in focus as 2014 awards begin The ASSOCIATED PRESS STAVANGER, Norway – With the 2014 Nobel Prize announcements around the corner, Norway is considering shaking up the five-member committee that selects the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize.

Critics said the prestigious panel should no longer be limited to retired Norwegian politicians and have suggested broadening the pool of potential judges to people from other walks of

life and even non-Norwegians.

Any future changes wouldn’t affect this year’s winner, to be announced Friday by chairman Thorbjoern Jagland, but could influence next year’s award as Jagland and two other members are Thorbjoern up for re-election.

Jagland “Right now we are all former politicians, but it doesn’t

have to be that way,” said Inger-Marie Ytterhorn, a Nobel judge from the right-wing Progress Party.

Questions surrounding the committee’s makeup have gained prominence amid stinging criticism of some of its recent choices. While Nobel Peace Prizes are almost always controversial, under Jagland’s leadership the committee has been accused of poor timing.

The 2012 award to the European Union cited the bloc’s historical role in keeping the peace in postwar Europe

but didn’t come at its finest hour as the bloc was in the midst of a crippling debt crisis. By contrast, the 2009 award to Barack Obama honored a president who had not been in office long enough to make an impact.

“He is the first peace prize winner who celebrated by starting a drone war,” said Sverre Valen, a Norwegian lawmaker who also suggested that some of the Nobel judges should be drawn from overseas “to help the credibility of the prize.”

COUPON

GENOA – While many students searched for coats and blankets during Genoa-Kingston High School’s homecoming parade, senior Tony Giorno had a clown get-up and the duty to crank a makeshift Ferris wheel keeping him warm.

Giorno was among a group of students who rode on the float made by seniors. Keeping in line with this year’s circus theme, students decorated the float with a tent and a short Ferris wheel complete with stuffed animals and fake cotton candy.

Senior Tyler Schambach spent about five hours building the wooden Ferris wheel.

His friend, senior Luke Harmon, said the Ferris wheel was just one piece of what was turning out to be a fantastic homecoming week.

“I’m really looking forward to a great homecoming,”

SYCAMORE – Bond will remain at $500,000 for the Sycamore woman accused of trying to fatally stab her estranged husband’s girlfriend in an apartment complex parking lot last weekend.

Nicholle M. Martinez, 41, of the 1800 block of Kerrybrook Court, had asked Associate Judge John McAdams on Friday to lower her bond to Nicholle M. Martinez $100,000 with a condition that she be placed on electronic home monitoring. She is accused of attempted murder and aggravated battery.

Martinez’s husband, mother and some of her children were in court Friday, said defense attorney Loren Blumenfeld.

Blumenfeld argued that what Martinez is accused of doing is an aberration and that her younger children need her.

“I think [her absence] would affect them very negatively,” he said.

Assistant State’s Attorney Duke Harris argued the act was premeditated and attempted murder is a nonprobational offense. Martinez told police she intended to kill the woman and had plans to dispose the body, according to court records.

Martinez faces between six and 30 years if convicted of attempted murder.

A $500,000 bond is necessary to protect the public, which is one of the factors used in determining bond, McAdams said.

Martinez is next due in court Oct. 28.

huddled along the streets.

With or without candy, they were excited for their first march through town as high school students.

“Everyone is pumped,” Villagomez said.

Homecoming queen Megan McCausland and king Kevin Hughes waved at the sea of or-

ange and blue while riding in a convertible. Both were excited about the homecoming dance, which starts at 7 p.m.

Saturday at the high school.

“It’s a lot of fun,” McCausland said about being queen. “We’ve known each other for a long time because of [Future Farmers for Amer-

ica] so it’s fun to be king and queen together.”

In addition to the high school students and emergency vehicles, the parade also had its share of younger students to bolster the homecoming spirit.

Jamie Stage waited outside Genoa-Kingston Middle School where she could watch her 9-year-old son Dakota Allen march with the Genoa-Kingston Elementary School Broncos football team.

She was proud to be a part of homecoming, which she said brings the community together every year.

“Genoa’s a tight knit community,” Stage said. “There’s a real camaraderie.”

Southern has yet to apply to a college but said she plans to study either television, film or become a kindergarten teacher.

Phillips is not the first in his family to become homecoming royalty. He said his older sister was homecoming queen.

While Phillips said his parents will probably be excited about his win, he said he will likely only celebrate with his friends.

“I plan to have a good time at homecoming and enjoy my senior year,” he said.

“I’m not the best giving out directions,” she said.

CHICAGO – In a sign of how close the contest for control of President Barack Obama’s home state is expected to be, Illinois Republicans are mounting what they call an unprecedented and costly campaign to have ineligible people purged from voter lists and recruit their own election judges before November.

With their sights on unseating a Democratic governor and winning back several congressional seats, Republicans have allocated $1 million in Cook County alone – from fundraising and the Republican Governors Association – to examine voter rolls and recruit 5,000 GOP election judges to watch over polling places in Democrat-heavy Chicago.

In two counties east of St. Louis, the party is examining obituaries to ensure the deceased are removed from the rolls and tracking down death certificates. They’re looking for addresses where utility service has been cut off to determine if registered voters have moved. And they’re checking to see whether people are voting from addresses for vacant lots or commercial properties. Similar efforts are planned for Cook County.

HINCKLEY – Hinckley-Big Rock High School senior Karrigan Cowan said she would have been happy no matter who was named homecoming queen Friday.

Cowan was one of three senior finalists in the homecoming court Friday, along with Anne Klein and Marissa Southern, who was named homecoming queen. The three girls who were nominated are all in student council and are friends.

“We are all really close,” Cowan said. “We hang out any chance we get.”

The homecoming king and queen were named Friday during a pep assembly at Hinckley-Big Rock. Along with Southern, a senior who is in the student council and Renaissance Club, and the king was Eric Phillips, a senior who plays basketball and soccer.

H-BR does not have a football team, so they will cheer for the junior varsity and varsity soccer teams Saturday afternoon against Oregon High School.

Hiring surge cuts U.S. jobless rate to 5.9 percent The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – A surge in hiring last month helped drive the nation’s unemployment rate down to a six-year low of 5.9 percent – within striking distance of what economists consider a healthy level.

The encouraging numbers – contained in the last government report on unemployment before the midterm elections – pushed the Dow Jones average up 209 points to 17,010 and could give an important boost at the polls to Democrats and to incumbents in general.

U.S. employers added a robust 248,000 jobs in September and generated 69,000 more jobs in July and August than previously reported, the government said Friday. That helped bring unemployment down from 6.1 percent in August.

The jobless rate now stands at the lowest level since July 2008, in the middle of the Great Recession, and is getting close to the roughly 5.5 percent that the Federal Reserve considers consistent with a healthy economy.

Illinois Department of Corrections employment recruiter, Forrest Ashby (left), speaks to students attending The Foot in the Door Career Fair on Sept. 25 at the University of Illinois in Springfield. The Labor Department released employment data for September on Friday.

In a speech in Princeton, Indiana, President Barack Obama exulted over the numbers, noting that businesses have added jobs for 55 months in a row, the longest such

stretch on record.

He credited “the drive and determination of the American people,” and added: “It’s also got a little bit to do with some decisions we made pret-

ty early on in my administration.”

Nevertheless, other gauges of the job market still bear scars from the recession. Wages aren’t rising. And the num-

ber of people out of a job for more than six months or stuck in part-time jobs when they want full-time ones remains elevated.

An Associated Press-GfK poll found that the economy is the top issue in voters’ minds as the Nov. 4 elections near, and while most signs point toward improvement, 62 percent of likely voters still consider the economy “poor,” little changed from two years earlier.

Given the latest conditions, the Fed may not move up its timetable for raising interest rates to control inflation, economists say. Most expect the Fed won’t act until the middle of next year.

Friday’s data “are generally consistent with the Fed’s economic forecasts and therefore should not change their thinking,” Doug Handler, an economist at IHS Global Insight, said in a note to clients.

The Fed has kept its benchmark interest rate near zero for almost six years in an effort to encourage more borrowing, spending and growth.

When the Fed begins raising the rate, the effects will

ripple throughout the economy and could have a profound impact on businesses and consumers. Rates for mortgages, auto loans and credit cards will probably rise. Businesses may cut back on borrowing.

And stock markets frequently drop when rates rise.

Lower unemployment usually forces up wages as employers bid for a dwindling supply of job-hunters. Higher paychecks can also push up prices. Some Fed policymakers have already warned that unemployment is low enough to spur higher inflation.

But Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen has said the unemployment rate may exaggerate the strength of the job market.

For example, there were 7.1 million people working part-time jobs last month even though they want full-time work. That figure is up from just 4.6 million before the recession.

And among the 9.3 million unemployed, 3 million have been out of work for more than six months. That figure has declined in the past three years but is still more than twice its precession level.

Despite rules, nursing homes still lack sprinklers The ASSOCIATED PRESS Tens of thousands of the country’s most vulnerable people are living in nursing homes without adequate sprinklers or that are missing them altogether, according to government data.

Despite a history of deadly nursing home fires and a five-year lead-up to an August 2013 deadline to install sprinklers, 385 facilities in 39 states fail to meet requirements set by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the federal agency whose duties include regulating nursing homes. Together, those facilities are licensed to house more than 52,000 people, ac-

cording to data from the agency known as CMS. Forty-four of the homes have no sprinklers at all.

“That is intolerable in this day and age,” said Brian Lee, executive director of Families for Better Care, which advocates for nursing home residents. “It’s not like they don’t have money to put these systems in. They have the money. They just choose not to do so.”

CMS, which had warned last year it would not grant extensions to the sprinkler rules, said 97 percent of facilities meet requirements, which are basic fire-safety tools in many structures, but especially important in nurs-

ing homes where residents may be unable to quickly evacuate.

“CMS and states are actively engaging with the rest of the facilities to verify their compliance with this regulation and will take appropriate actions for noncompliance to ensure the safety of residents,” the agency said in a statement to The Associated Press.

There have been numerous deadly nursing homes fires over the past century, but it wasn’t until 2003 that CMS has required sprinklers in newly constructed facilities.

That year, two blazes – at Greenwood Health Center in Hartford, Connecticut, where 16 people were killed, and

Firefighters work on the roof of the Greenwood Health Center in Hartford, Conn., after a fire tore through the nursing home Feb. 26, 2003, killing 16 people. Tens of thousands of the country’s most vulnerable people are living in nursing homes without adequate sprinklers or that are missing them altogether, according to government data as of July.

NHC Healthcare Center in Nashville, Tennessee, where 15 were killed – refocused attention on fire safety in nursing homes. Neither of those buildings had automatic sprinkler systems, raising the issue of whether federal rules should require that older facilities be retrofitted.

Five years later, in 2008, CMS did issue that requirement, giving homes another five years to comply.

States have sometimes strengthened their own fire-safety laws, particularly if they experienced a nursing home tragedy, as Tennessee did after the Nashville fire.

No Tennessee homes show up on the CMS list of offenders.

Hong Kong protesters cancel talks after scuffles The ASSOCIATED PRESS HONG KONG – Hong Kong police said early this morning that they have arrested 19 people, some of whom are believed to have organized crime ties, after mobs tried to drive pro-democracy protesters from the streets where they have held a weeklong, largely peaceful demonstration.

At least 12 people and six officers were injured during the clashes, district commander Kwok Pak-chung said at a predawn press briefing. Protest leaders called off planned talks with the government on political reforms after the battles kicked off Friday afternoon in gritty, blue-collar Mong Kok, across Victoria Harbor from the activists’ main protest camp.

Police struggled for hours to control the battles as attackers pushed, shoved and jeered the protesters. Those arrested face charges of unlawful assembly,

fighting in public and assault, Kwok said, adding that eight men are believed to have backgrounds involving triads, or organized crime gangs.

The protesters urged residents to join their cause and demanded that the police protect their encampments. The Hong Kong Federation of Students, one of the groups leading the demonstrations that drew tens of thousands of people earlier this week, said they saw no choice but to cancel the dialogue.

“The government is demanding the streets be cleared.

who works in a bank.

Well after midnight, the crowds stood peacefully, occasionally chanting and shouting, while police looked on.

The standoff is the biggest challenge to Beijing’s authority since it took over the former British colony in 1997. Earlier Friday, the students had agreed to talks with the government proposed by Hong Kong’s leader, Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying. But his attempt to defuse tensions fell flat as many protesters were unhappy with his refusal to yield to their demands for his resignation.

The cancellation of the talks – prompted by clashes with men who tried to tear down the makeshift barricades and tents set up by the demonstrators – left the next steps in the crisis uncertain.

It was unclear if those scuffles were spontaneous or had been organized, although some of the attackers wore blue ribbons signaling support for

Afghan army death rate spikes 30 percent in 2014 The ASSOCIATED PRESS KABUL, Afghanistan – An Afghan army desperate for more advanced military equipment is suffering death rates 30 percent higher in the 2014 fighting season, the army’s first against the Taliban without large-scale assistance from the U.S.-led international military force, officials said.

A bigger worry than the increased deaths, although, is the havoc the military could unleash on the country if the army rips at its ethnic seams, an increased possibility as U.S. and other NATO forces continue to draw down their forces, Afghan and American military experts say.

When the U.S. and other NATO-led forces withdraw all

combat troops by Dec. 31, the Afghan army will truly be on its own on the battlefield for the first time since the 2001 U.S. invasion. America has spent $62 billion since then to train and equip the country’s security forces, but Afghan military experts remain concerned that the army doesn’t have enough men or material.

“They’re fighting, but they are suffering,” said Gen. Abdul Rahim Wardak, Afghanistan’s former minister of defense and a current adviser to the president’s office.

Some of those worries were mitigated Sept. 30, when the United States and Afghanistan signed a bilateral security agreement allowing about 10,000 American troops to remain in Afghanistan to train,

advise and assist Afghan forces past the end of the year.

America’s NATO allies are expected to contribute a further 5,000 or so troops. A smaller U.S. Special Operations force will also remain and actively go after extremists such as al-Qaida.

More importantly, signing the deal assured the Afghan government of about $4.1 billion in U.S. and foreign funding that pays for everything from soldiers salaries, to their bullets and the fuel they use in their vehicles. Without the money, the Afghan security forces would have fallen apart in months.

The need for foreign support was evident this summer, the first where the Afghan army couldn’t rely on U.S.

bombers when it needed them most. The army’s death rate spiked 30 percent, Wardak said, because of an increased number of battles and the army’s vulnerability to roadside bombs. That spike translates to about 450 additional deaths a year – about 1,800 deaths.

Despite the billions in aid, the army is hampered by a lack of large-scale fire power – including offensive air capabilities – little or no medical evacuation ability and not enough transport aircraft, Wardak said. Keeping the Taliban at bay, he said, will be a “difficult task” unless the U.S. continues to provide more fire power, he said.

The Taliban staged attacks on Afghan army troops Wednesday and Thursday

in Kabul, killing 10 soldiers.

Large-scale fighting is taking place in several remote provinces.

But it is not the Taliban’s military pressure that poses the most serious potential problem, said Seth Jones, a former special adviser to the U.S. Special Operations Command in Afghanistan and an analyst at the Rand Corporation.

A collapse of the political compromise between newly inaugurated President Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai – who represents the country’s ethnic Pashtuns – and newly installed Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah – the leader of the country’s Tajiks – could lead to fissures in the country’s “already fragile” security forces, he said.

On college campuses, cracks in Thailand’s peaceful facade

Rey said.

PREPARING FOR THE WORST

In Sandwich, Mayor Rick Olson is used to the 30 trains that travel through the middle of town daily. He’s not bothered so much by what is on the trains, but how much noise the train horns make. Rather than focusing on train car regulations, Olson said Sandwich leaders are in the early stages of seeking to become a quiet zone where train conductors can’t sound their horns.

“We’re pretty close to the tracks,” Olson said. “We understand that anytime you have transportation, you have the potential to have issues.”

Hicks and Davis said that’s where prevention and training local emergency personnel comes in.

Union Pacific annually hosts training in Pueblo, Colorado, where first responders from railroad towns spend a week. Hicks said DeKalb sends two firefighters every time they are invited – the latest invitation came this year.

DeKalb also is part of the Mutual Aid Box Alarm System Division 6 team, which trains for hazardous material emergencies as part of a statewide emergency response network.

At times, the team trains with an airport crash truck carrying 500 gallons of fire-fighting foam that could be used in an emergency.

“We’re prepared to handle it,” Hicks said. “You just never know what’s going to cause it.

It’s uncontrollable.”

BANGKOK – The university students who organized a seminar in Thailand on the demise of dictatorships knew that one particularly sensitive topic had to stay off-limits: their own country.

Since overthrowing an elected government in May, this nation’s military rulers have jailed opponents who dared speak out and silenced the rest with the threat of prosecution. They have censored the media, dispersed protesters and forbidden open debate over the nation’s fate.

So when roughly 150 peo-

ple attended the latest in a series of talks Thammasat University called “Democracy Classroom,” one weary student reminded all those present they should only discuss failed regimes – “please repeat after me, OVERSEAS.” A few minutes after the event began, however, it was cut short by police – triggering a rare public uproar from university professors nationwide over the expanding reach of junta censorship.

The incident, the first of its kind on a college campus here since the coup, also underscored the fact that the deep societal tensions that have fueled a decade of political upheaval here are not

being healed, but suppressed.

“The military says they want unity and reconciliation,” said economics student Ratthapol Supasopon, who helped organize the Sept. 18 event at Thammasat’s Rangsit campus, just outside Bangkok. “But how can that happen if we can’t even talk to each other?”

Thailand has been beset by major bouts of upheaval since billionaire Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra was deposed by the army in 2006. His ouster was part of power struggle that in broad terms pits the rural north against a traditional, military-backed elite based in Bangkok and the south.

Confinement ordered after family failed to comply with request to stay home • EBOLA

Continued from page A1 The first Ebola diagnosis in the U.S. has raised concerns about whether the disease that has killed 3,400 people in West Africa could spread in the U.S. Federal health officials are confident they can keep it in check.

Elsewhere, NBC News reported that an American freelance cameraman working for the network in Liberia has tested positive for the virus and will be flown back to the United States, along with the rest of the news crew.

Neighbors stood on their balconies and watched the family’s grim departure from behind the black tarp hung to shield their front door from view.

The family was placed in a Dallas County deputy’s patrol car and driven away, apparently leaving with nothing more than the clothes they wore.

The private residence where they will stay was offered only a short time earlier.

Until then, a search for shelter had come up short. The city was refused by hotels, apartments and other providers.

“No one wants this family,” said Sana Sayed, a Dallas city spokeswoman.

The family living in the apartment has been confined to their home under armed guard while public-health officials monitor them – part of an intense effort to contain the deadly disease before it can get a foothold in the United States.

Louise Troh, originally from Liberia, shares the apartment with her 13-yearold son and two nephews.

When the decontamination is complete, even the crew’s protective suits are to be burned, said Tamara Smith, office manager for the Cleaning Guys of Fort Worth.

Judge Clay Jenkins, Dallas County’s top administrative official, said he went to the

apartment with two epidemiologists to apologize for the delay in removing the soiled items, which happened five days after Duncan was admitted to the hospital.

“I am concerned for this family,” he said. “I want to see this family treated the way I would want to see my own family treated.”

The confinement order, which also bans visitors, was imposed after the family failed to comply with a request to stay home.

Also Friday, Texas health officials said they had narrowed the number of people they were monitoring from as many as 100 to about 50 who had some type of exposure to Duncan.

Texas Health Commissioner David Lakey said all 50 are meeting with health workers and having their temperatures taken daily. So far, none shows symptoms of the virus. Ten are considered to be at higher risk and are being monitored more closely.

Banks want to keep homes in fair condition Continued from page A1 On Friday, police received a call from people who found the back door open on a foreclosed home, and called the bank to secure the door, McDougall said.

Every day, police officers are notified on whether they should have extra patrols in an area, such as an area where

adno=0287840

there are foreclosed homes.

About once every few months, they receive calls about squatters possibly living in the home, McDougall said.

“If a house is empty and someone is living there, we do follow up on arrests,” he said.

Jill Haka, managing broker and owner of J.Jill Realty Group in Sycamore, said banks want to keep homes in a fair condition because their goal is to sell them. Sometimes

banks do some home repairs and sell properties as-is while passing the additional cost on to the buyer, Haka said.

“It’s a touchy situation,” she said. “It wasn’t as big of a problem a couple of years ago because lenders weren’t as picky with what they’re requiring. Now deals are falling apart because lenders are requiring more things to be done before [sales] go through.”

A little over a year ago when the announcement was made that Baker had been hired as the new president, a line from the song “Won’t Get Fooled Again” by The Who came to mind: “Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.”

Thirteen months have passed and I truly believe the new boss ain’t the same as the old boss!

I am very fortunate and have had the opportunity to speak at length with Baker and key people in the administration on multiple occasions. The conversations have been the polar opposite of past experiences. They are taking impressive steps to make the experience for the students and community the best we’ve ever seen.

I hope all of us in DeKalb embrace Baker and his team’s efforts to build a special bond between NIU’s students, employees and the community.

Americans’ duty is to vote intelligently Many recent surveys indicate that the vast majority of Americans feel our country is moving in the wrong direction.

This country was designed to be different from others in which a monarch or strong central government controlled almost every aspect of the lives of its citizens. In most other nations, the lives of the populace conform to the will of the government. In America, the government is supposed to conform to the will of the people. Also in most other countries, it was declared that the rights of the people were conferred by the government; whereas, our founding documents indicate a belief that our rights derive from our Creator, aka God. It is critical that the people of our country understand that we the people are at the pinnacle of power in a nation created of, by and for the people. In order to exercise that power in a responsible manner, the people must be informed voters. To cast votes for people or issues about which one knows little or nothing is akin to taking unlabeled medicine from an unknown source simply because someone told you to do so.

It is also unfortunate that many schools no longer offer civics courses and that students are not taught the fundamentals of how our government works. This partly explains the incredibly uninformed answers

VIEWS Ben S. Carson to basic questions on some televised “man on the street” interviews. The founders of our nation were huge advocates of education and felt that our freedoms and system of government would be jeopardized by an uninformed populace that could be easily manipulated by dishonest politicians or a biased press.

I hate to complain without offering solutions. Thus, my wife and I have just released a new e-book (soon to be a paperback) titled, “One Vote: Make Your Voice Heard.” Thousands of free copies are being distributed, and the purchase price is less than that of a simple sandwich.

It is completely nonpartisan and was written for people who, for whatever reason, missed out on important information with respect to becoming an informed voter. There are electronic links to websites that not only identify your representatives, but also tell you how they voted, as opposed to how they said they voted, on a variety of issues. It provides access to links that help you clearly identify your own beliefs and compare them with those of political figures and parties.

This kind of information will make it easier for people to think for themselves, rather than being herded and manipulated by those in various political organizations who hunger for power, not liberty and fairness.

In 2012, 93 million Americans who could have voted failed to do so. That’s more votes than either presidential candidate received. We must all realize that we have no right to complain about the direction of our nation if we are unwilling to grasp the importance of our civic duty to vote intelligently.

There are those who are much more interested in having blind followers than informed voters. They will not embrace this publication. I also fully realize that detractors will say Ben Carson is just engaging in self-promotion and trying to make more money. Some people ascribe to others what their motives would be and are incapable of thinking otherwise. In the meantime, we the people must, through our collective wisdom and power, alter the course of our beloved nation through the wise use of our votes.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Thumbs-up: To the removal of a pair of decrepit buildings along Sycamore Road in DeKalb this week.

Property owner First Rockford Group bought the land and buildings in January. One of them had been a veterinary clinic many years ago. The company decided to tear them down in order to allow potential users of the property to better envision ways they could use it. The buildings were an eyesore along the city’s main commercial strip, and their demolition was long overdue.

Thumbs-down: To stagnant wages despite falling unemployment. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average hourly wage for non-management workers has been $20.67 for the past two months and has risen only 2.3 percent year over year, just more than the rate of inflation, The Associated Press reported. Wage growth is important so that consumers have more money to spend and a sign of a healthy labor market. Like so many other things in this postGreat Recession recovery, wages are not bouncing back as quickly as many of us might hope.

Thumbs-up: To DeKalb football coach Matt Weckler being named the Chicago Bears High School Coach of the Week. In his second year as the Barbs’ coach, Weckler has led the team to its best start in years.

Excitement is beginning to grow in DeKalb and the Barbs success is drawing notice from those outside DeKalb County, always a positive sign. Congratulations to the coach, his assistants, and the student-athletes who are having such success this season.

Thumbs-up: To local heroes. The 2014 Tribute to Heroes Award was presented Thursday to Franklin and Peg Mall of Sandwich, Les Bellah of Kirkland, Greg and Sherri Howells of Sycamore and Pete Johnson of Sycamore. The award began 12 years ago and is managed by the Boy Scouts’ Three Fires Council. The Tribute to Heroes committee annually selects DeKalb County residents who engage, volunteer and lead in their communities. The award is an excellent way to honor people who are not always in the spotlight, but still make a difference in other people’s lives. Congratulations to the award recipients.

Thumbs-up: To a successful charity Northern Illinois University jersey auction. Corn Fest organizers auctioned off specially designed jerseys that NIU players wore during their first home game, which was the day before Corn Fest started. More than $8,000 was raised through the sale of all 99 jerseys, so the Canaday family, Voluntary Action Center and Boy Scout Troop 33 each received a check for more than $2,600 this week. It was a great way to emphasize the connection between NIU and the community and to raise money for three great causes.

ANOTHER VIEW

NFL fan violence at stadiums lurks below the surface Silence has not served the National Football League well.

For years the league downplayed its problem with domestic violence and lightly penalized its offending players. That all erupted in a blaze of scandal and bad publicity when a video camera caught Ray Rice decking his then-fiancee in an elevator.

Now NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is clinging to a job and his reputation is in steep decline.

Another sort of violence lurks beneath the surface of this league, and Sunday reared itself in two stadiums – University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, and Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.

Brawls broke out in the stands between spectators that turned far too dangerous as people tumbled over seats and down cement stairs.

The crowd videos are cringe-worthy. Punches land sharply on faces. People fall several feet onto hard seats and sharp corners as those around them gasp.

In Glendale, blood spatters the concrete. Fans nurse bleeding wounds. Glendale police arrested two men on assault charges and stadium security expelled a number of other people involved in the two fights that broke out in the upper decks of the Cardinals’ stadium.

The NFL has long known it has a problem with crowd violence. In December, at least three people were stabbed outside of the Denver Broncos’ stadium as fans poured out into the parking lot after a loss to the San Diego Chargers.

Former NFL defensive end Akbar Gbajabiamila wrote at NFL.com in 2012 that even players are concerned about the safety of their family members in the stands.

Anyone who has frequented NFL games in the past decade can speak to the declining spectator environment – encounters with beer-swilling lowlifes who tease and taunt and finally bully those around them.

The most dangerous people at football games are not the huge men playing a violent game, writes CBS Sports columnist Gregg Doyel. “The true danger is us.

We are the thugs, and we are everywhere.”

The NFL has been quietly trying to address the problem, he explains, with liaisons to each franchise focused on crowd security as teams coordinate with stadium guards and local law enforcement. Most NFL teams post a phone line for fans to text stadium personnel of any problems or concerns, Doyel reports.

And the league is actively gathering information at all stadiums and studying the findings.

The league operates quietly on this front because it doesn’t want to alarm its customers, Doyel said.

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.

DEKALB 42, MORRIS 0

Barbs clinch postseason berth Consecutive playoff appearance team’s 1st since 1980, ’81

By STEVE NITZ snitz@shawmedia.com DeKALB – With Friday night’s 42-0 win over Morris, the DeKalb football team stayed perfect and clinched a playoff spot.

Meaning that for the second straight season, the Barbs (6-0 overall, 3-0 Northern Illinois Big 12 East)

will be competing in Week 10. It will be the first time the Barbs have qualified for the postseason in consecutive seasons since 1980 and ’81. Meanwhile, Morris (2-4, 0-2), a perennial powerhouse, is one loss away from missing the playoffs for the second straight season.

“It’s an amazing feeling,” DeKalb running back Tony Tate said. “It’s always been one of our goals from the beginning of the season, to do better than we did last year, to go farther than just the first round (of the playoffs). It’s good to know that we’re in now.”

Dre Brown ran for 221 yards and

three touchdowns in the win, but DeKalb also had its other weapons on display.

Tate, the speedy tailback, showed he can do some damage against opposing defenses as well. He ran for 67 yards and two touchdowns, and also caught a 33-yard screen pass from Derek Kyler and took it into the end zone.

“They always key on Dre, so he was a real big decoy,” Tate said. “The line, they just let everybody come through, and then I just [got open], the line had a good seam for me. I just saw it and I just took it.”

Cogs lose grip in 4th quarter

By TRAVIS ZUELLIG sports@daily-chronicle.com GENOA – Throughout most of the game Friday night against Big Northern East leader Johnsburg, the Genoa-Kingston football team showed why it could compete with anyone in the conference.

Leading by three points entering the fourth quarter, the Cogs seemed to be in control. But Johnsburg flexed its muscle and scored 11 unanswered points in the final quarter to defeat the Cogs, 2113, during G-K’s homecoming.

“I think we played really well, just a couple of mistakes,” Cog quarterback Griffin McNeal said. “We were getting them out of their comfort zone and making them go under center. We played hard, we just need to capitalize when we get the ball on their side of the field.”

Spartans snuff out rally

By EDDIE CARIFIO ecarifio@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – For the second straight week, a fourth-quarter rally by the Kaneland football team ended with an interception.

This time, it was Sycamore defensive back Bryce Hansen

whose interception secured a 14-7 victory for the Spartans on Friday night at Engh Community Field.

“To give up one score to these guys is saying something,” Sycamore coach Joe Ryan said of Kaneland, who had been averaging 30.2 points a game entering the contest.

The Knights took over after Tyler Maveus had a 32-yard field goal attempt blocked. Taking over on its own 29, Kaneland marched down field, converting two third downs – including a third-and-15 after Brett Weaver sacked Jake Marczuk with 33 seconds left.

But Marczuk ran for 21 on the next play. After he led Con-

nor Fedderly – who set a school record for receiving against DeKalb the previous week – too far on a slant on first down, the Knights (2-4, 0-3 Northern Illinois Big 12 East) ran a similar play on second that Hansen read all the way.

NIU seeks 28th straight win in DeKalb

DeKALB – Not a single player on Northern Illinois’ football roster knows what it’s like to lose a game at Huskie Stadium. The last time NIU suffered a defeat in DeKalb was Sept. 26, 2009 – a 34-31 loss to Idaho, of all teams.

This afternoon, NIU will look to keep the streak alive against Kent State (0-4), a program that has fallen on hard times since being on the cusp of a BCS bowl berth in 2012 before losing to NIU in the MAC Championship Game.

NIU’s 27 straight wins at Huskie

More online For all your Northern Illinois University sports coverage – including stories, features, scores, photos, videos, blogs and more – log on to HuskieWire.com.

Stadium is the longest streak in the country. However, the NCAA does not recognize the 27-game home winning streak, because of the team’s loss to Iowa in the 2012 season opener at Soldier Field, where NIU was the home team. Still, the 12 straight

victories in DeKalb since the Iowa loss is tied with Baylor for top home winning streak in the country, as recognized by the NCAA. “I don’t think we really focus on it much,” NIU quarterback Drew Hare said of the streak. “We want to win every game, so every week we are going to look forward to just that week and we don’t really worry about streaks.

Cardinals beat Dodgers after Kershaw wilts

LOS ANGELES – Matt Carpenter hit a go-ahead, three-run double off a wilting Clayton Kershaw in an eightrun seventh inning, and the St. Louis Cardinals rallied for a 10-9 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers in a fiery NL Division Series opener Friday.

It was 92 degrees at gametime, and things quickly got more heated during a surprising slugfest. St. Louis overcame a five-run deficit against Kershaw and held on when Trevor Rosenthal blew an 100 mph fastball past Yasiel Puig with a runner on third to end a back-and-forth game that lasted nearly four hours.

Peavy, Giants edge Strasburg, Nationals

WASHINGTON – Never much of a postseason performer, Jake Peavy sure outpitched Stephen Strasburg in the former No. 1 pick’s playoff debut.

Guess that October aura the San Francisco Giants proudly own has rubbed off on Peavy.

The intense right-hander took a no-hitter into the fifth inning, San Francisco’s bullpen barely held onto a lead, and the wildcard Giants won their ninth consecutive postseason game by beating Strasburg’s Washington Nationals, 3-2, Friday in an NL Division Series opener.

Game 2 is today, with Washington’s Jordan Zimmermann facing Tim Hudson.

Orioles rally past Tigers take 2-0 ALDS lead

BALTIMORE – Down by three runs in the eighth inning, the Baltimore Orioles’ Delmon Young drove in three runs with a pinch-hit double, and Baltimore used a four-run eighth to pull out a 7-6 victory Friday for a 2-0 lead in the best-of-five AL Division Series.

Baltimore will try for a sweep in Game 3 on Sunday at Detroit, when Miguel Gonzalez starts against the Tigers’ third straight Cy Young winner, David Price.

BEARS AT PANTHERS, NOON SUNDAY, FOX, AM-780, 105.9-FM

Carolina was scarier in preseason This is one of those games that when the schedule first came out, Bears fans everywhere were like, “Woe is us!”

It’s the Bear’s third road game in five weeks, only nine months ago the Panthers were the No. 2 seed in the NFC playoffs and their coach, Ron Rivera, is the reigning NFL Coach of the Year.

This game is also a perfect example of why it’s so silly to talk about strength of schedule before a season begins, as this Panthers squad won’t vaguely resemble Carolina’s 2013 playoff team Sunday.

Gone are Steve Smith, Jordan Gross, Travelle Wharton, Greg Hardy, Captain Munnerlyn and Mike Mitchell.

Out with injuries are DeAngelo Williams, Mike Tolbert and possibly Jonathan Stewart, and defensive Pro Bowlers Thomas Davis and Charles Johnson will be questionable.

Cam Newton will be playing hurt, still nursing a cracked rib.

The Bears are just a bad matchup for this version of the Panthers. But don’t write off Carolina.

Newton has been reduced to a single dimension. After rushing for 2,032 yards and 28 TDs his first three years in the league, he has come out of the pocket only eight times this season for 33 yards.

Although that certainly helps the Bears’ 20th-ranked run defense, it better not relax.

Newton has been effective as a pocket passer, completing 63.8 percent of his passes for a 98.2 passer rating, and he has yet to throw an interception.

What kills the Panthers is Tolbert and Williams definitely are out at running back, and Stewart’s status is unknown.

Potentially, that’s more than $80 million worth of running backs on the sideline.

Darrin Reaves, a 5-foot-10, 220-pound rookie running back out of Alabama-Birmingham, was on the practice squad less than two weeks ago and might have to be the running game for the Panthers this week.

The matchup of the day should pit the NFL’s offensive

Tune in Watch Hub Arkush and the rest of our coverage team break down this weekend’s Bears game on “Chicago Football Now” at 10:30 a.m. today on WCIU The U or at 2:30 p.m. today on WCUU The U Too. rookie of the month for September, Kelvin Benjamin, against the defensive rookie for September, Kyle Fuller.

Fuller has really nice size for a corner, but Benjamin’s 6-5, 240-pound frame and 83-inch wingspan make him a matchup nightmare for anyone.

Former Bears tight end Greg Olsen is Newton’s favorite target and just too big for Tim Jennings to handle, so look for the tight end to attack the

Bears’ safeties and be Carolina’s go-to guy.

Receivers Jericho Cotchery and Jason Avant have been nice veteran additions, but they shouldn’t beat a quality secondary.

The Bears’ struggling defensive line should get a boost, as both Carolina tackles, Nate Chandler and Byron Bell, have struggled all year, and guard Amini Silatolu has had trouble, too.

Rookie Trai Turner out of LSU has been their best offensive lineman, but he’s been nicked up, and even Pro Bowl center Ryan Khalil has had issues this year.

The loss of Hardy and injury to Charles Johnson have really hurt the Panthers on the ends, but former Bear Mario Addison has given the occasional push off the edge.

The middle of the Panthers’ defense is its strength, as tackles Star Lotulelei and Kawaan Short were All Rookie last year, and Short is having a Pro Bowl season this year. Dwan Edwards, the third tackle in the rotation, has given them some really nice push up the middle.

Mike linebacker Luke Kuechly is the current NFL Defensive MVP and an absolute tackling machine. Thomas Davis is a Pro Bowler when healthy, and second-year player A.J. Klein is making an impact at linebacker, as well. This group is definitely the strength of the Panthers’ defense.

Antoine Cason has made a lot of plays at cornerback, while Josh Norman is just a guy on the other side.

Veterans Mike DeCoud and Roman Harper were brought in to man the safety spots and have been average. This Panthers’ secondary does not match up well with receivers Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery, tight end Martellus Bennett and running back Matt Forte out of the backfield, and this should be where the game turns for the Bears.

Still, Jay Cutler will have to make some plays, and the Bears’ defense will have to assure Newton doesn’t put this one in the win column.

TAKE 2

Eddie Carifio and Steve Nitz face off

Huskies seem prepared to extend streak Daily Chronicle sports editor Eddie Carifio and sports reporter Steve Nitz spend their days covering the area’s sports scene. Occasionally, they give their viewpoints on those local sports. In this installment of their Take 2 column, they tackle NIU’s home streak and scheduling strategy.

Nitz: Eddie, for another season, we’re talking about Northern Illinois’ winning streak at Huskie Stadium.

NIU has not lost in DeKalb since falling to Idaho in 2009, and the streak sits at 26 games.

My question to you is, will we still be talking about the streak at this time next year?

Carifio: So do I think the Huskies can beat Kent State, Central Michigan, Miami, Toledo, UNLV and Murray State? Yes. Yes I do. Toledo just might be human after all this year. Those four Mid-American Conference game are winnable, and the two next year seem like they shouldn’t be a problem – a team they beat in the desert this year, and an FCS school.

I would think eventually, the streak probably ends to a MAC school, probably next season. Maybe one of those high-profile opponents such as Boston College gets them in 2016 or 2017. But just based on the parity of the MAC and college football as a whole, I don’t see this going beyond the upper 30s – like 37, maybe 38.

Or am I just setting myself up to be very, very wrong?

Nitz: You’re very right.

The winning streak is very, very impressive. But at the same time, let’s face it, the opponents NIU has faced at

home haven’t exactly been world-beaters.

The Toledo game will not be easy, but the Huskies should roll through Kent State, Central Michigan and Miami. NIU athletic director Sean Frazier has done a good job with football scheduling, so there will be some better opponents in the coming years.

But I think the streak survives through this season.

Is there any chance the Huskies suffer a loss over the next three weeks?

Carifio: There’s always a chance. But just not a very good one. I’m guessing they’ll be about a touchdown favorite against Toledo, and that will be the closest of the three games.

But since you mentioned Frazier, I thought the most interesting part of your interview with Frazier was his take on FCS schools. Saving those spots for the in-state schools such as Eastern Illinois or Illinois State seems like a smart move. If you want a free win, at least play a team with some local interest, unlike say, Presbyterian.

Nitz: In my opinion, NIU shouldn’t be playing FCS teams. If the Huskies are serious about being a serious contender for the Group of Five major bowl bid every year, I think the school would be better off replacing FCS teams with another Group of Five opponent.

However, that probably won’t be the case. I do like Frazier’s thought of playing in-state FCS teams, which will provide more interest and, hopefully, bring some more fans to DeKalb. Presbyterian didn’t exactly get people excited to show up.

Five storylines to watch 1. What exactly does NIU have at tailback?

This will be the first time this season that Northern Illinois has a completely healthy stable of running backs.

Cameron Stingily missed the first game, while Akeem Daniels and Keith Harris Jr. have been banged up lately. Both Daniels and Harris are expected to play, so the Huskies will really be able to show off their depth at running back.

2. Huskies depth at wideout Depth at the receiver position was considered a big strength coming into the season. However, that depth has been tested with senior Tommylee Lewis out for the season.

Sophomore Chad Beebe (concussion) also might not play.

Da’Ron Brown has had a real good season so far, and look for a lot of Juwan Brescacin and Aregeros Turner today.

3. QB rotation Throughout the nonconference schedule, NIU has played multiple quarterbacks. Drew Hare will start and play the majority of the game, but don’t be shocked if you see Anthony Maddie for a series or two.

4. Turnover battle Kent State has struggled this season, but one thing the Golden Flashes do well is force turnovers.

Kent State has forced three or more turnovers in three of its four games this season. Meanwhile, quarterback Colin Reardon has thrown seven interceptions.

5. Defensive bounceback NIU’s defense has given up 926 total yards over the past two games, and UNLV put up 499 yards on the Huskies three weeks ago. Expect a better performance against the Golden Flashes.

DeKALB FOOTBALL

Weckler honored by Bears

By DAILY CHRONICLE sports@daily-chronicle.com The season is past the halfway mark and DeKalb football coach Matt Weckler already is getting regional recognition.

The second-year Barbs coach was named the Chicago Bears High School Coach of the Week for the fifth week of the season, the team announced Friday.

Weckler said it was an honor to win and that it reflects more on his players and coaches.

“Honestly, an award like this is a testament to my staff and all the time they put in, and the kids, as well,” Weckler said. “I’m the head coach, so those awards are handed to the head coach. But big picture, a big part of them come down to players and assistant coaches,

coach Marc Trestman and will visit Halas Hall for lunch and get to watch practice.

Coaches are determined by “a panel of local prep authorities” according to a Bears’ news release.

The Barbs were 5-0 entering Friday night’s game against Morris and are in a position to win their first Northern Illinois Big 12 East title, and their first conference title of any sort since 1989.

McNeal Weaver, Hooker score Spartans’ TDs passes for • SPARTANS-KNIGHTS 151 yards Continued from page B1

• COGS

Continued from page B1 McNeal finished the night with 151 yards passing, going 14 for 31. Jesse Bade made his presence known on the field with 45 yards on five receptions and 42 yards on 12 rushes. But mistakes hindered the G-K progress.

Three fumbled snaps and allowing a Johnsburg quarterback sneak to balloon to a 36-yard gain were problems, but one mistake changed the outcome of the game. With less than six minutes remaining in the contest, a snap sailed over punter Brady Huffman and into the end zone, resulting in a safety to snap a 13-all tie.

“I feel like a broken record when I tell the kids, but they played hard and they nothing to be ashamed of,” G-K head coach Travis Frederick said. “They are capable of winning these games but we keep shooting ourselves in the foot with penalties and putting the ball on the ground.”

The Skyhawks marched down the field after the ensuing kickoff and took a 2113 lead after a Nick Brengman pass found Haden Franzen for an 8-yard score.

G-K took over on the 30yard line with 2:37 remaining. McNeal drove the Cogs down the field with completions to Bade, Huffman, Marcelo Ruiz and Marcus Holley. With time about to expire, McNeal dropped back to pass on fourth down on the 21-yard line. The senior’s pass fell short to Ian Fell and the game was over.

“When it was working, it was a little bit of everything – just trying to keep them off balance,” McNeal said.

“A lot of the outside run and the option was working. It was just a couple of mistakes, but we outplayed them.”

The Cogs took the first lead of the game on a trick play. Bade took a pitch from McNeal and threw a halfback pass, which found Ruiz for the 36-yard touchdown. The other Cog touchdown was a 1-yard Joe Murray touchdown run.

Outside of the final drive and the Murray touchdown, G-K struggled to get the ball to the Skyhawk side of the field.

“We played the entire second half on our side of the field,” Frederick said.

“You can’t quit. You have to keep your chin up and what we have to do is clean up the mental discipline stuff – the mental mistakes and the penalties.”

“We had to keep our heads up no matter what,” Hansen said. “Win or lose we had to keep going no matter what.

And we came out with the win.”

Against DeKalb, a 37-34 loss, Kaneland had the ball in the final seconds but an interception ended that rally in its opponent’s territory, as well.

Coach Tom Fedderly said he was proud of his team’s performance in the hardfought game. Even though it was the fourth loss in a row, three of the losses have been by a touchdown of less.

“It’s where we want to be,” Tom Fedderly said. “We just need to cash it in next time.”

The Spartans (4-2, 1-1) – winners of two straight since a 55-40 loss to DeKalb – scored the first two touchdowns in the game. Brett Weaver scored on a 1-yard plunge late in the second quarter, then Dion Hooker broke off his only run of more than 7 yards – a 63-yard run up the left side that put the Spartans ahead 14-0. Hooker finished with 114 yards on 29 carries.

Kaneland got on the board

Sycamore’s Dion Hooker (6) is taken down by Kaneland’s Danny Hammermeister (55) during Friday night’s game in Sycamore. with 7:09 left in the fourth on a 9-yard run by Marczuk – who was the game’s leading rusher with 129 yards on 21 carries.

Sycamore went three-andout, but caught a break when Connor Fedderly fumbled the punt and it was recovered

by Parker Majerus. Again, the Spartans only ran three plays before the blocked field goal.

“You don’t get the first down there when you get a turnover, that’s on the offense,” Ryan said. “We just

didn’t do enough offensively.”

The Knights managed only 81 yards passing in the game – Fedderly had more than three times that by himself against the Barbs the week before.

Tom Fedderly said the Sycamore defense played really well and was happy with the way his team performed.

“We marched it down there and had a couple shots at the end zone,” Fedderly said. “Their safety made a good play. We just came up short.”

Brown, Tate combine for 6 TDs • BARBS

Continued from page B1 The duo of Brown and Tate were responsible for all of DeKalb’s touchdowns.

“Tony’s been always like this. He’s like one of those guys, once they start packing the middle then we utilize him,” DeKalb coach Matt Weckler said. “Early on in the season we didn’t have to because Dre was making good runs. Our offense is doing what they give us. Tony just gives us that extra weapon.”

After struggling defensively the past two weeks, the Barbs earned their first shutout of the season.

“We changed some things up that we thought last week or the week before kind of hurt us, in terms of personnel,” Weck-

DeKalb halfback Tony Tate avoids a Morris tackler before running out of bounds in the second quarter Friday night in DeKalb. The Barbs won, 42-0. ler said. “It wasn’t necessarily the kids doing stuff wrong, it was just kind of us putting them in bad situations. Coach (Dan) Smaha did a good job,

dialing up some new stuff that kind of allowed our front guys be able to play the way they did and then gave us some extra coverage guys in the back.”

“It gets loud when it’s packed. We’ve been fortunate enough to play at some good venues that have gotten loud these past couple of years and maybe not the total [decible level], like they set a world record [Monday] night at Kansas City or something like that,” NIU coach Rod Carey said. “It may not get like that, but it gets really loud and it’s on top of you and it’s that home field advantage, which is wonderful.”

NIU is a 24½-point favorite against the Golden Flash-

es and should be favored in the rest of its home games.

Toledo on Nov. 11 – the home finale – will be NIU’s toughest opponent, but the Huskies still should be a favorite.

There’s a real good chance the seniors, like guard Tyler Pitt, will go their entire careers without losing a game in DeKalb.

“It would mean a lot. It would be really special,” Pitt said. “But going on what Drew said, you have to look at it week to week. When you start looking down the road, you begin to look over an opponent and that can really come back to bite you.”

By MARY GANSKE | The Washington Post have a cashmere sweater that I bought 25 years ago, and it still looks great. (OK, maybe not great on ME, but still.) Every cashmere item I’ve bought recently, though, pills in a nanosecond, whether it’s ridiculously expensive or from the T.J. Maxx sale rack. Sure, I can always razor away the scruff, but it seems lately cashmere quality has taken a nosedive.

Pure cashmere is a rare, luxury fabric, according to Karl Spilhaus, president of the Boston-based Cashmere and Camel Hair Manufacturers Institute. It takes roughly three Mongolian goats (who can only be combed for the stuff once a year) to make one sweater. And once the hair is harvested, it must be sorted and washed by hand.

Trouble is, very few people want to pay today’s going rate for primo quality, which can be $600 and up per sweater.

“Western retailers have tried to push down the price in order to increase sales. This has created an incentive for suppliers and manufacturers to cut corners on quality and authenticity,” explains Spilhaus.

A product labeled 100 percent cashmere may actually contain lambswool, yak and/or acrylic. Fraudulent labeling is illegal, but it’s tough to police the industry.

“A store should send a sample from every batch of sweaters to check for purity,” says Spilhaus.

Needless to say, most don’t. Even when a garment does contain cashmere, it may not be of the highest quality.

Cashmere is judged by the thickness and length of the fibers. The finest cashmere is only 16 or 17 microns in diameter. (A human hair is 75 microns.) Thicker strands feel rough and scratchy. Short fibers (less than 32 cm) are also suboptimal, since they tend to come loose and pill.

While it’s impossible to tell if a garment is legitimate just by eyeballing it, here are a few things to keep in mind:

1

Look for products made in Italy, Scotland or Japan.

Easier said than done, since China (which got in on production in the early 1990s) now controls well over half of the world’s raw material. This is not to say that China doesn’t ever turn out authentic, high-quality cashmere, just that Europe and Japan have been at it a lot longer and have a better track record. “Rarely have I seen a fraud that says ‘Made in Scotland,’ ” says Spilhaus.

2

Rub the sweater/scarf/pashmina over your chin (an especially sensitive area). Fine cashmere is never scratchy.

3 4

Move your hand vigorously over the garment. Steer clear if you notice fibers start to bead up or fray.

Tug on opposite sides of the sweater or scrunch it up in your hands. It should bounce back promptly in to shape.

5

Go for flat, tightly woven sweaters rather than loose, downy knits. In order to get the coveted fluffy look , the fibers must be washed repeatedly. This brings shorter ones to the surface and results in a more fragile garment.

You really have to pay up for loose-knit cashmere that lasts, says Spilhaus.

6

Two- (or three- or four-) ply sweaters should be sturdier. (The number of ply indicates how many strands have been twisted together to make the yarn.) Many labels don’t mention ply, though, and if the fibers are fake or cut-rate, it’s a moot point, anyway.

7

Buy from a reputable store with a liberal return policy. I purchased a pricey sweater from Nordstrom, which pilled after two outings. They refunded my money, no questions asked.

8

Make it an investment. The finest cashmere will last indefinitely. Some brands to look for include madein-Scotland cashmere from Hania, Italian cashmere from Marni and Massimo Alba, Italian brand Loro Piana; Brooks Brothers’ cashmere made in Scotland, and Massimo Dutti (Italian cashmere).

9

If expensive cashmere is out of reach, mid- or bargain-priced products will do. Just remember that you get what you pay for – at best.

FAMILY TIME | Tips for housetraining your puppy

Tip of the week Responsible pet parents start planning long before bringing a puppy home. “Research your lifestyle - what your living accommodations are. Do breed research into what you want the pet for,” says Dr. Chris Stearns, partner at Dalton Animal Care clinic in Dalton, Ga. “It’s so important to have the right environment – enough room indoors and out, and enough attention.”

Stearns, along with Stephanie Daughtrey, a certified animal behaviorist at the clinic, offers these important tips for housetraining your puppy and keeping your home intact in the process.

1. Know potty triggers. Start by

understanding your puppy’s potty triggers. What exactly stimulates a pup’s bladder and digestive system? While it varies from dog to dog, triggers are typically feelings of excitement, like when visitors arrive, and particular times of day, like after he wakes up or right before bed. Keep in mind, puppies will need to go after eating and/or drinking – usually within 15 minutes.

2. Establish a routine. Find a designated “potty patch” outdoors so your dog can associate that space with doing his business. Start by leash walking the pup to that spot so he can focus before spending any time playing. If your dog doesn’t go, consider keeping him on a leash inside, too. Rotate 15 minutes inside and 15 minutes outside.

Stay close to your new furry family member. If he starts to circle and sniff, in that familiar way, take him outside.

If he starts to squat to urinate, clap or make a sharp sound that will stop him in the act. You can transfer him outside to finish and praise him there. “Young puppies learn through positive reinforcement – not negative. Give them a

BRIEFS NIU Lorado Taft to host open house Oct. 13 NIU’s Lorado Taft Field Campus in Oregon, Illinois, has been providing outdoor education opportunities for K-12 students and teachers throughout northern Illinois since 1954.

To celebrate 60 years of outdoor education, the staff of the Lorado Taft Campus invites the NIU community to an open house from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Oct. 13.

Whether you’ve always wondered what’s out there, or would just like to reacquaint yourself with the beautiful campus during prime leaf-color season, the Taft open house provides a great chance to check it out. Activities will include tours, hikes and the opportunity to try some of the activities that Taft offers to the elementary school and middle school students who visit with their classmates. Examples include trying out an ancient spear-throwing tool, dipping candles, starting campfires and watching birds.

Refreshments will be served in the dining hall, including Taft’s famous cinnamon rolls in the morning and a lunch buffet from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Taft is well-known for its delicious, home-cooked food. All activities and refreshments are free.

Lorado Taft is located on North River Road, about 1.5 miles north of Route 64, on the east side of the Rock River. To access the Taft campus, visitors must drive through Lowden State Park and follow signs through the park to get to Lorado Taft. Parking is limited, so carpooling is advised.

treat when they go potty outside - that reinforces the good behavior right then and there. Praise them with a happy tone of voice,” says Stearns.

3. Avoid indoor accidents. Accept that a puppy will need to go outside every one or two hours. It’s the owner’s responsibility to provide plenty of time outdoors, otherwise if left unattended for extended periods, a puppy will find a place to piddle. “Close the doors out of the room where the puppy is – get baby gates to seal off other areas. A puppy will seek out areas of the house that are not part of the ‘family den’,” says Daughtrey.

4. Clean messes immediately.

“Accidents will happen,” says Stearns.

“Expect it and work with it when it happens. You must deodorize it, so he can’t use it as a scent-marking area.

Use a product that does more than just mask the odor – it needs to enzymatically destroy the chemical in the urine.”

5. Spay or neuter. Finally, spay or neuter your dog at the appropriate age according to your vet’s recommendations. Unneutered dogs typically urinate

more in the house as an action of marking their territory, so it’s something every caring pet parent should consider.

October is the time to put the garden to bed

By BARBARA LINDHOLM University of Illinois Extension DeKalb County Master Gardener I read recently that gardening is a process over time.

Spring signals the time to begin the gardening season.

During the summer, we enjoy and maintain our gardens. As October arrives, it is time to begin to put our gardens to bed for the winter.

With fall leaves on the ground, you have many options for efficient ways to use them. Leaves can be shredded and placed as mulch on perennial beds or added to your compost pile. Leaves can be mowed and left on your lawn to add organic matter to the soil.

Ceramic, cement and terra cotta containers should be emptied, cleaned and stored in a frost-free space.

Hoses should be drained and water sources should be disconnected before temperatures go below freezing.

Woody plant care If shrubs or trees are displaying problems such as stunted growth, flower or leaf failure or damage from

HOW DOES YOUR GARDEN GROW? disease or insect attack, they can be fertilized in early October. Healthy trees and shrubs should not be fertilized at this time.

Physical barriers like netting or fencing will be the best way to deter deer, rodents or rabbits from damaging your plants.

Remember to water and apply antidessicant sprays to conifers as they enter the winter term.

Following several days of 20 degree temperatures, rose protection should begin.

Mound 12 to 18 inches of peat moss or composted manure at the base of the plant. If severe temperatures and wind conditions are expected, roses may be trimmed and placed in rose cones with quarter-sized holes for ventilation.

Annual and perennial care Annual and perennial plant material should be removed from the garden and

added to your compost pile after the first killing frost.

Dried perennials material can be cut to the ground leaving plants like grasses for winter interest.

Spring-blooming bulbs can be planted in October and early November. When purchasing bulbs, size and firmness are important. Bigger bulbs will produce larger blooms.

Mulch newly planted areas. If rodents, deer and rabbits have been eating your bulbs, try pest resistant bulbs including grape hyacinth, fritillary, narcissus, windflower or winter aconite.

Lawn care Continue to mow lawns at 2 1/2 to 3 inches.

Vegetable care Harvest all pumpkins before a killing frost.

Tomatoes should be picked and stored in cardboard boxes or paper bags if a hard frost threatens. Next year rotate tomatoes to a new location.

After a hard frost, all dead plant material should be removed from the vegetable garden.

Indoor plant care Houseplants should be gradually brought inside before the anticipated first frost date of Oct. 15. Before bringing plants inside, check them for insects and disease.

October tip October is the month we might start to see home invaders as they attempt to seek shelter for the winter. Older homes with older foundations and older sealed areas on windows and doors may see more of these visitors appearing.

This fall, we are experiencing a more unique invader due to the excess moisture.

Millipedes are occurring in larger numbers.

Millipedes are not insects as they have many legs. They are hard-shelled, brown in color, 1 to 1 1/2 inches long with a very slow, wave like pattern of movement. They

live in moist, organic material outdoors. Their visits to your home will be nocturnal.

Do not panic if they enter your home. They are harmless to humans and pets and with the lack of moisture present in your home, they will curl into a coil and die quickly.

Remove them by vacuuming, squashing or returning them to the outside. Sprays are not effective for this pest.

This is the final gardening column for this year. Now is the time to sit back and relax

as you look through new catalogs and make plans for your next gardening season. The Master Gardeners wish you an enjoyable fall and winter.

We look forward to another great gardening season together in 2015.

TODAY!

Domestic violence program offered DeKalb County Homemakers Education Association will host a presentation by Samora Covington of Safe Passage at 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Center for Agriculture, 1350 W. Prairie Drive, Sycamore.

This presentation will focus on the history and development of Safe Passage as DeKalb County’s domestic violence and rape crisis agency.

It will provide an explanation of the comprehensive services Safe Passage provides, the population served, and an overview of the problem of domestic violence and sexual assault in our communities, as well as warning signs and red flags of domestic and sexual violence and tips on how bystanders and allies can support survivors.

Covington is a community educator and sexual assault therapist for Safe Passage, DeKalb County’s domestic violence and rape crisis center. She has an extensive clinical history of working in women’s empowerment and trauma recovery populations including veterans, homeless persons, refugee/torture survivors, and now, victims of sexual assault.

This presentation is free and open to the public.

The DeKalb County Board of Health recognized Kiwanis, DIMCO and Laundry Lounge for their collaboration on the Shoe Share Program to provide gently used sneakers to local families.

DIMCO provided collection containers to gather these shoes at a number of community locations in June and July. Dave Melms, owner of Laundry Lounge, washed and sorted every shoe that was collected. The Kiwanis family spent time sorting shoes for distribution to several local food pantries in Sycamore and DeKalb.

The combined effort of these three partners and the community resulted in 1,000 pairs of shoes being recycled, but more importantly, provided the opportunity for children who might not participate in physical education classes because of a lack of gym shoes the ability to do so.

6 ADVICE & PUZZLES • Saturday, October 4, 2014 • Section C • Daily Chronicle / Daily-Chronicle.com ASTROGRAPH

By EUGENIA LAST Newspaper Enterprise Association

TODAY – This is the time to reinforce and restructure your plans. Get rid of anything that will slow your ascent to the top. Don’t listen to anyone who says you don’t have what it takes. Have confidence that you can conquer any opposition and succeed at any task.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Extra effort will go a long way. Your charisma and powers of attraction are in a high cycle, so step into the spotlight where you can be the center of attention.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – If you believe in your ability, you will accomplish whatever you aim for.

If you have faith in yourself and the courage to advance, you will reach your goal.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – You should work and play cautiously in order to avoid minor mishaps and injuries. Don’t take shortcuts with safety equipment or instructions.

Stick close to home and protect your property.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Don’t give in to emotional blackmail. Finish what you start and ignore anyone who tries to stifle your plans or progress. Someone wants to step into your shoes, so keep moving.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Don’t lend or borrow money or possessions.

Conduct due diligence to ensure that you are seeing things as they are, not as you would like them to be.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Uncertainty will surround you today. An open and honest discussion will help you clear the air. Be on the lookout for things going on behind your back.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Consider purging not only items you no longer use, but also emotional baggage that you’ve been toting around.

Don’t hang on to disappointments or beat yourself up over missed opportunities.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Be careful with your financial information. A scam artist will hound you if you are too open about yourself and free with your cash.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – You have an amazing ability to persuade others to do things your way. Try not to embellish your credentials, or you will suffer some repercussions when you can’t honor your promises.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Don’t agree to do something that makes you feel uneasy. Ask your closest friend or confidant to help guide you through any confusion you face. Do what pleases you most.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Don’t alienate those closest to you by making a fuss when things don’t go your way.

Sometimes, the best tactic is to allow everyone to do his or her own thing.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Changes at home will present you with challenges. You will face protests and must get the OK before you follow through with plans that infringe on someone else.

SUDOKU

Girls urged to emprace their independence Dear Abby: I read your column often and find it deeply troubling when girls write you lamenting that they are “still single.” I’m 18, in my freshman year of college and I have never dated. I’m perfectly OK with this.

I’m not writing to bash girls who are in high school relationships, but rather to show there’s an alternative.

Abby, please remind them that it’s fully acceptable for us to spend our teenage years single if we prefer. No one should feel pressured into a relationship because “everyone else is dating.”

Girlfriends, if you’re not ready for dating, then focus on discovering your beliefs, your purpose and what your talents, passions and values are. If you choose to do it accompanied by a partner, that’s fine. But if you prefer to journey alone or with your friends, that’s JUST as valid.

more difficult to make trips to cemeteries. Any insight on this trend? – Plotting and Planning in Arizona

Dear Plotting and Planning:

Cremation is nothing new. It has been practiced since ancient times – 5,000 years ago and possibly even longer than that. The early Romans did it, but with the rise of Christianity it fell out of favor. (It is accepted by the Christian religion today.) Buddhists, Hindus and Sikhs commonly cremate their deceased. However, it is opposed by traditional Jewish culture, which believes our bodies belong to God and we are not supposed to actively destroy God’s property, and by the Muslim religion.

You and your friend have covered the major considerations that make people choose cremation instead of burial. I would only add that in the past, I have heard from readers who could not bear to part with the remains of their loved one, and who have kept the ashes in their home. Others would like to have their own ashes co-mingled with their loved one’s at the appropriate time and placed in a columbarium.

However, if readers have anything they would like to add, I’ll share some of their

input with you.

Dear Abby: I’m 75 and my daughter just turned 50. We both have nice figures and are stylish. On a number of occasions over the years, when my daughter and I are together, people have commented that we look like sisters. I usually smile and say thanks, and my daughter just smiles.

Recently, she asked me, “Does that mean I look old?”

Turning 50 may have made her a little more age-conscious. She looks great for any age, and I would like your suggestion for a good reply that will boost her self-confidence. – Georgia in Texas Dear Georgia: Tell your daughter that people may say you look like sisters because you strongly resemble each other. Many mothers and daughters do. They may also be trying to pay YOU a compliment, implying that you look much younger than your years. I’m sure it’s not meant to imply that your daughter looks old.

Simple measures help relieve cubital tunnel pain Dear Dr. K: I have cubital tunnel syndrome. What’s the best treatment for it?

Dear Reader: Cubital tunnel syndrome is a trapped or pinched nerve problem, much like its better-known relative, carpal tunnel syndrome.

Cubital tunnel syndrome occurs when the ulnar nerve gets compressed. The ulnar nerve extends from the spinal cord in your neck to your forearm and the pinky side of your hand. The nerve passes through a series of passageways, or tunnels. The tunnels are composed of tough layers of fibers that can pinch the nerve running through them.

The tunnel located behind the “funny bone” of your elbow is called the cubital

ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff tunnel. If you’ve ever hit your funny bone against something hard, you know that it’s not funny – it just hurts. Most nerves are buried deep inside the body, but in the cubital tunnel, the ulnar nerve is very close to the surface and easily injured. (I’ve put an illustration of hand nerves and muscles on my website, AskDoctorK.com.)

When you bend your elbow more than 90 degrees, it stretches the ulnar nerve, pushing it against a bony canal. Tasks that require you to extend and flex your elbow

repeatedly can irritate and inflame the nerve. Leaning or resting on the elbow for long periods (while driving, for instance) can also put pressure on the nerve. So can holding a phone to your ear. Your sleep position may aggravate the problem if you sleep with your elbows bent. Injuries can also damage this nerve.

Nerves carry messages from the brain to the body, and from the body back up to the brain. The ulnar nerve carries signals from the brain that tell the muscles of the arm and hand to move. It also carries sensations – pain, touch, heat – from the arm and hand up to the brain.

The first symptoms of cubital tunnel syndrome typically are numbness or tingling

in the ring finger and little finger. Touching your elbow may cause a sudden, sharp pain. Your hands may also become weak and clumsy, and you may have trouble straightening your fingers.

The most important thing is to identify the actions that may have triggered the problem. For instance, switching to a headset-style phone and removing armrests from your office chair may help. Avoid leaning on your elbow, keeping your elbow flexed more than 90 degrees, and repeatedly bending and straightening your elbow. If your sleep position may be contributing to the problem, try sleeping on your side with a pillow supporting the entire length of your arm.

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) and naproxen (Aleve) can help reduce pain and swelling. So can wearing a splint to keep your elbow straight while you sleep.

If none of these changes help, your doctor may suggest minor surgery to relieve pressure on the ulnar nerve.

This is usually effective.

Fortunately, simpler measures almost always solve the problem and make surgery unnecessary.
