DeKalb to fund $25K IHSA sponsorship

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN bkeeperman@shawmedia.com DeKALB – The city will contribute $25,000 to the DeKalb County Community Foundation for the Illinois High School Association’s state football championships, which will take place Nov. 27 and 28 at Northern Illinois University’s Huskie Stadium.

The IHSA title games are being held in DeKalb during odd-numbered years through 2021. This is the second time the city has hosted the games.

State title football games will be played at Huskie Stadium In 2013, the city also contributed $25,000. The city’s sponsorship was built into the fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2016 budget, Jennifer Diedrich, DeKalb’s economic development coordinator said.

“We have allocated $12,500 each year since Destination DeKalb won its bid,” she said.

THE BARN ON BASELINE ANIMAL SHELTER AND ADOPTION CENTER

Keeping in contact with pets Plans underway for Genoa sanctuary for animals of senior citizens

By KATIE SMITH ksmith@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Dave Mullner is planning a sanctuary that will offer accommodating services and have a TV in every room for the pets of seniors who can no longer care for them.

The Barn on Baseline, formerly the DeKalb County Animal Shelter, is in the early stages of planning what will ultimately serve as a retirement home for animals whose owners can no longer take care of them, but don’t want to put their pet up for adoption.

The sanctuary would allow owners to continue to visit with their pets as often as possible.

“People are looking for another option to [house] their pet long term,” said Mullner, the sanctuary’s project manager and secretary for the DeKalb County Animal Welfare League. “They wouldn’t be put up for adoption unless the family would want us to adopt them out. They would be in the sanctuary facility to stay with us as long as the family wanted us to keep them.”

The proposed 5,000-square-foot

The Barn on Baseline Animal Shelter and Adoption Center employee Randy Rex leads an excited dog back into a freshly cleaned kennel Monday in Genoa. sanctuary will cost an estimated $700,000 to build and is expected to span across three acres of land adjacent to the animal shelter.

The sanctuary would accept only “unadoptable” animals, whose long-term owners were admitted to a hospital, nursing home or rehabilitation center, or were deployed by the military, Mullner said.

Older animals are often euthanize after spending years in shelters waiting to be adopted or have a hard time transitioning into new homes, the shelter’s executive director, Roberta Shoaf said.

The plan came about at a public hearing in March and called for 18 “luxury dog suites,” and a cat room with a large window and multilevel condos, Mullner said.

In the meantime, funding and specific policies are still being hammered out, although Mullner is considering including a “doggy day care” to help generate money to keep the sanctuary afloat, he said.

The sanctuary has been a longtime dream of Shoaf’s.

“The purpose of the sanctuary is to let these senior citizens keep their pets when they get moved into a home. They don’t have to give up absolutely everything including their companion that’s been their pet for a long time,” Shoaf said.

Although animals are often beneficial to senior citizens’ recoveries, they are rarely allowed to stay or even visit senior care centers, said Lindsey Signorella, the social service director for Bethany Rehabilitation Center in DeKalb.

“It keeps their spirits high. It provides motivation for them,” she said. “Pet therapy is becoming more and more popular. We actually have a pet therapy dog that comes by and visits.”

CHICAGO – Regulated medical marijuana sales began Monday in Illinois with patients flocking to state-licensed retail shops in five cities.

Of 23 states with medical marijuana programs, Illinois has one of the most restrictive, requiring patients to undergo fingerprint-based background checks, limiting qualifying health conditions, mandating testing for pesticides and banning home-grown pot.

All the moving pieces and a change in governors delayed the launch. The pilot program expires in 2017.

Among the first buyers Monday was Maggie Chatterton, a 25-year-old homemaker in central Illinois, who drove with her husband and two children 20 miles to the Salveo Health & Wellness dispensary in Canton where doors opened about 9:30 a.m.

Chatterton is emblematic of how Americans are rethinking marijuana.

A gardener and beekeeper who sells her wares at farmers markets, she’s concerned about side effects of prescription drugs and believes cannabis is safer. She said she taught her 4-year-old son it’s a natural medicine.

“I’m pretty excited about it. I didn’t think that something like this would happen in Illinois,” Chatterton said. The price – $385 an ounce – seemed fair, she said, for a drug she hopes will help her manage spinal pain.

About 3,300 patients with Illinois-issued ID cards were able to purchase medical cannabis at one of five dispensaries opening Monday. Besides Canton, retail shops in Addison, Marion, Mundelein and Quincy were the first with possibly 25 opening by the end of the year.

In the southern Illinois city of Marion, about 100 people cheered when a dispensary called Harbory opened at 1 p.m. Kevin Sauls, 54, of Ridgway said he’d arrived at 5 a.m. and was first in line. He spent about $100 for a quarter-ounce of marijuana.

“We are making history today,” he told The Southern Illinoisan in Carbondale.

Here are more details about the Illinois program:

REVENUE AND BUDGET IMPASSE

Illinois’ budget stalemate has had no significant effect on the program, which has been funded through fees paid by the industry and patients.

There’s no official estimate of the amount of tax revenue the program will generate, but it already has collected nearly $11 million in fees from businesses and patients.

TODAY’S TALKER

MU president, chancellor out amid racial tension

By SUMMER BALLENTINE and JIM SUHR The Associated Press COLUMBIA, Mo. – The president of the University of Missouri system and the head of its flagship campus resigned Monday with the football team and others on campus in open revolt over what they saw as indifference to racial tensions at the school.

President Tim Wolfe, a former business executive with no previous experience in academic leadership, took “full responsibility for the frustration” students expressed and said their complaints were “clear” and “real.”

For months, black student groups had complained that Wolfe was unresponsive to racial slurs and other slights on the overwhelmingly white main campus of the state’s four-college system. The complaints came to a head two days ago, when at least 30 black football players announced that they would not play until the president left. A graduate student went on a weeklong hunger strike.

Wolfe’s announcement came at the start of what had been expected to be a lengthy closed-door meeting of the school’s governing board.

“This is not the way change comes about,” he said, alluding to recent protests, in a halting statement that was simultaneously apologetic, clumsy and defiant. “We stopped listening to each other.”

He urged students, faculty and staff to use the resigna-

Butler has ended his hunger strike as a result of the resignation. tion “to heal and start talking again to make the changes necessary.”

Hours later, the top administrator of the Columbia campus, Chancellor R. Bowen Loftin, announced that he would step down at the end of the year and shift to leading research efforts.

The school’s undergraduate population is 79 percent white and 8 percent black.

The state is about 83 percent white and about 12 percent black. The Columbia campus is about 120 miles west of Ferguson, Missouri, where Michael Brown was killed last year in a fatal shooting that helped spawn the national “Black Lives Matter” movement rebuking police treatment of minorities.

In response to the race complaints, Wolfe had taken little public action and made few statements. As students leveled more grievances this

fall, he was increasingly seen as aloof, out of touch and insensitive to their concerns.

He soon became the protesters’ main target.

In a statement issued Sunday, Wolfe acknowledged that “change is needed” and said the university was working to draw up a plan by April to promote diversity and tolerance. But by the end of that day, a campus sit-in had grown in size, graduate student groups planned walkouts and politicians began to weigh in.

After the resignation announcement, students and teachers in Columbia hugged and chanted.

Sophomore Katelyn Brown said she wasn’t necessarily aware of chronic racism at the school, but she applauded the efforts of black student groups.

“I personally don’t see it a lot, but I’m a middle-class

white girl,” she said. “I stand with the people experiencing this.” She credited social media with propelling the protests, saying it offered “a platform to unite.”

At a news conference Monday, head football coach Gary Pinkel said his players were concerned with the health of Jonathan Butler, who had not eaten for a week as part of protests against Wolfe.

“During those discussions,” athletic director Mack Rhoades said, “there was never any talk about anybody losing their job. It was simply and primarily about a young man’s life.”

After Wolfe’s announcement, Butler ended his strike.

He appeared weak and unsteady as two people helped him into a sea of celebrants on campus. Many broke into dance upon seeing him.

Football practice was to resume Tuesday ahead of Saturday’s game against Brigham Young University at Arrowhead Stadium, the home of the NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs. Canceling the game could have cost the school more than $1 million.

Shaun Harper, executive director for the Study of Race and Equity in Education at the University of Pennsylvania, said the black football players “understood that they have the power.”

“That is so rare,” said Harper, who authored a 2013 study on black male student-athletes and racial inequities in NCAA Division I sports. “Not in our modern history have we seen black students collectively flex their muscle in this way.”

Lawyer: Body cam showed no threats as police killed boy

By MICHAEL KUNZELMAN and REBECCA SANTANA The Associated Press MARKSVILLE, La. – A police body camera recorded the father of a 6-year-old autistic boy with his hands up and posing no threat as police fired into his car, severely wounding the motorist and killing his son, the man’s lawyer said Monday.

“This was not a threatening situation for the police,” said Mark Jeansonne, an attorney for Chris Few, who remained hospitalized and could not attend Monday’s funeral of his son, Jeremy Mardis.

Derrick Stafford, 32, of Mansura, and Norris Greenhouse Jr., 23, of Marksville, were ordered held on $1

million bonds Monday on second-degree murder and attempted second-degree murder charges, Jeansonne said.

The lawyer said he hasn’t seen the video himself, but its contents were described during the hearing. Louisiana’s state police chief, Col. Mike Edmonson, said Friday that “it’s the most disturbing thing I’ve seen – and I will leave it at that.”

Few’s condition was improving Monday, but he had not been told as of midday that his son is dead, Jeansonne said. His stepfather, Morris German, said last week that Few had bullet fragments in his brain and lung.

Greenhouse is the son of a top assistant prosecutor for

District Attorney Charles A. Riddle, who recused himself from the case Monday, calling it “not good for any of us.”

Judge William Bennett set the officers’ bond during a hearing he held inside the jail after refusing media requests to open the proceedings. No transcripts were made available, and the judge later issued a sweeping gag order prohibiting anyone involved in the case, including potential witnesses and victims, from providing any information to the media.

Investigators have been reviewing forensics evidence, 911 calls and body camera recordings, but said little about them even before the gag order.

The official silence leaves

many questions unanswered, including what prompted the fatal confrontation, and whether anyone else is being investigated for any crimes.

At least two other officers were involved, authorities said, but their roles remain unclear.

Investigators have not suggested that race is a factor in the shooting, which may not fit neatly into a national debate about race and policing.

Booking records describe the officers as African-American; no available records describe the race of the father and son.

Few, a boat pilot on the Red River, was on probation at the time of the shooting after pleading guilty to driving while intoxicated in February, according to court records.

40 years ago, Edmund Fitzgerald ship sinks in Lake Superior

By HARRY ATKINS The Associated Press SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich. – The Great Lakes have claimed thousands of ships since European explorers began navigating the waters in the 1600s, but few have captured the public’s imagination as has the Edmund Fitzgerald, which sank Nov. 10, 1975, in Lake Superior.

Much of that attention is owed to Gordon Lightfoot’s haunting ballad, “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald,” which memorialized the ship and its crew members, whose

bodies remain with the sunken vessel.

“Lake Superior seldom coughs up her victims unless they’re wearing life jackets.

As of this time, we have no reason to believe the men of the Fitzgerald had time to get into life jackets,” Capt.

Charles A. Millradt, commander of the Soo Coast Guard Station, said at the time.

Nothing so tragic has occurred on the Great Lakes since.

Forty years after the Fitzgerald sank to its chilly resting place, AP is making a version of the story avail-

able: Rescuers searched Lake Superior’s chilly waters Tuesday for the 29-member crew of the sunken ore-carrier Edmund Fitzgerald but found only an oil slick, empty lifeboats and life jackets.

Aircraft and ships crisscrossed the lake’s eastern tip in the area where the ship, once the largest ore-carrier on Lake Superior, went down in 520 feet of water about 7:30 p.m. Monday.

Coast Guard officials said it was unlikely anyone could survive in the 51-degree water more than three hours but added that they were still

hopeful.

The 729-foot vessel vanished from radar screens as winds of hurricane force – of 75 Mph – raised waves to 25 feet in 42-degree weather.

“In those conditions, survivability on the average would be about three hours,” said a Coast Guard spokesman. “But this has been greatly exceeded on many occasions if they got into a protective life raft or were wearing protective clothing.”

An oil slick, two lifeboats, a life raft and other debris were found in the area, with some washing up on the Canadian shore 13 miles to the

northeast. One of the lifeboats had a serial number matching that of the ship, authorities said.

Among the debris were several orange life jackets, some bobbing in the water and others washed onto the rocky shoreline.

The lake surface was extremely calm Tuesday, and search operations were aided by a dull gray sky which eliminated reflections and made it easier to spot debris from the air.

Two freighters, a pair of Coast Guard helicopters and two planes were taking part in the search.

DeKalb students ‘Celebrate my Drive’ High school competing for $100K safe driving grant Photos by Monica Synett – msynett@shawmedia.com

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

The Barn on Baseline Animal Shelter and Adoption Center employee Mike Mohr holds a cat while cleaning out its cage Monday in Genoa.

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com DeKALB – DeKalb High School students have a chance to win a $100,000 grant and are asking the community to help improve their chances.

The high school has placed in State Farm’s “Celebrate My Drive” competition, a program that promotes safe driving. Students created a video aimed at increasing awareness of safe driving. The public can vote online and the 22 schools that receive the highest number of votes will win $100,000 and a chance for an Echosmith concert.

“I see people texting and driving everywhere I go, whether it’s in the parking lot of the high school or on Lincoln Highway,” said Parker Stratton, a DeKalb senior. “It’s everywhere.”

Stratton, who appeared in the video, said it focused on the idea of putting your cellphone down when you’re on the road.

DeKalb High School is competing to win a $100,000 grant by participating in a State Farm safe driving competition known as Celebrate My Drive.

“Turn it off and make sure you don’t touch it at all,” he said.

In the 2013 competition, DeKalb High School earned a $25,000 grant. This year there are no smaller prizes, so the students are going for the $100,000 grant.

The money would go toward the school’s driver-education program and other safe-driving initiatives. In 2013, the school used some of the money to throw a parking-lot party with districted-driving simulators, drunken-driving simulation goggles and other safety initiatives. Funds were

also distributed to the Positive Behavior Interventions and Support program used by all the schools in DeKalb School District 428.

“It helps everyone in the district,” Stratton said.

Mark Sykes, the school’s driver education teacher, said programs to increase safe driving are important, especially at the high school level.

“It’s a huge one for kids this age,” he said. “This year, the slogan is ‘2n2’ – two eyes on the road and two hands on the wheel. … We are continuing to try to inform kids as much as possible to be safe drivers.”

form a concert at 11 a.m. Saturday at the Egyptian Theatre, 135 N. Second St., DeKalb.

The “Music Through the Ages” concert is aimed at being an educational and entertaining performance that explores how music has changed through different time periods, according to a news release.

Tickets are available at the door. The cost is $5 for adults; children younger than 13 are free when accompanied by an adult. The concert is supported in part by the Farny R. Wurlitzer Foundation.

Performers include the Sycamore Performing Arts Academy, Dance Dimensions, Sycamore High School’s Orchesis, Stage Coach Players and the Jane Adeny Memorial School for Girls. There will also be holiday carolers along State Street.

“This is our official kick off of the holiday season in downtown Sycamore,” said Rose Treml, executive director of the Sycamore Chamber of Commerce. “We enjoy providing an opportunity for consumers to get a head start on holiday shopping.

Animal-assisted therapy shown to help patients undergoing chemotherapy, others • SENIOR SANCTUARY Continued from page A1

Animal-assisted therapy has been shown to help patients undergoing chemotherapy or other medical treatments, veterans and families struggling to cope with the effects of military service, and general anxiety and depression, according to the American Humane Association.

Some pet owners will even turn down in-patient care or

rehabilitation if it means they won’t regularly see their pet, Signorella said.

“They obviously can’t have that animal here, and they can’t have it in most assisted living facilities so it has been an issue for people,” she said.

Mullner and Shoaf believe providing animals a comfortable place to stay and visit with their owners with the assurance they won’t be euthanized or adopted out is best for all parties.

“For the dog that’s bonded

with this person and they’ve been the only two people in the house for the last six years and there’s an opportunity for them to stay bonded and stay together even if their separated part of the time – dogs don’t tell time,” Shoaf said. “They don’t know it’s been a week. They don’t know it’s been five days. They don’t know that it’s been a long time. They just know that their owner’s still coming to see them, and I don’t think that that’s a bad thing for the dog or for the person.”

Comcast will install more than 40 Xfinity hot spots around downtown DeKalb. Non-Xfinity subscribers can use the Wi-Fi for two hours a month free. The service is free for Xfinity users and can be used by downloading the Xfinity Wi-Fi app, according to a news release from Comcast sent Monday.

Xfinity customers can download the app and connect to Wi-Fi labeled “xfinitywifi” or “CableWiFi.” “The addition of WiFi hot spots is a great amenity for business owners, patrons and students and will help attract even more people to downtown to work, shop, enjoy cultural events and study,” said Mayor John Rey, in the news release. “The City of DeKalb appreciates Comcast’s investment in DeKalb’s technology infrastructure.”

No source found for E. coli; Chipotle could reopen midweek

By DONNA GORDON BLANKINSHIP The Associated Press SEATTLE – Washington state health officials said Monday they have found no source for the E. coli outbreak related to Chipotle, and the chain’s Pacific Northwest restaurants could reopen later this week.

All the tests of food from Chipotle stores in Washington and Oregon came back negative for E. coli, Washington state epidemiologist Dr. Scott Lindquist said. Chipotle did its own testing, and those results came back negative as well.

The Chipotle restaurants in Washington and Oregon will be allowed to reopen after they have met some conditions. They must get rid of and replace all produce, do a deep cleaning of their stores, pass a local health inspection and start a new protocol for cleaning produce.

Chipotle also has voluntarily decided to start doing some testing of its own of fresh food coming into its restaurants.

Lindquist said he expects Chipotle will reopen the 43 restaurants it closed in Washington and Oregon by

STATE BRIEFS Roadway gets designation third annual BookCon, to be held after decades at Daley Plaza.

Millennium Park will be home to May 14 in Chicago on. honoring WWII vets ARCOLA – A portion of a roadway in central Illinois has been redesignated in honor of seven local brothers who fought in World War II. The Mattoon Journal-Gazette reported that about 120 members of the family attended a ceremony Sunday at the Arcola Fire Department to commemorate the recent renaming of Illinois Route 133 through Douglas County as “the Ghere Brothers Memorial Highway.” Republican state Sen. Chapin Rose of Mahomet presented a replica of the road marker to Dan Ghere, whose father, Bobby, was killed in WWII. The seven brothers, who grew up in a family of 17 children in Arcola, are considered important figures in the city’s history.

Six of the brothers, all but Bobby Ghere, returned from WWII and resettled in the Arcola area.

other holiday events this season, including visits with Santa Claus, caroling and ice skating.

This year’s Christmas tree is a 63-foot Colorado Blue Spruce donated by a Northlake family.

It will be delivered Tuesday to Millennium Park.

In his youth he enjoyed bicycling all over Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa, first with friends, then later with his wife Sumathi. Travel was something they both loved with an emphasis on interesting and exotic; Malaysia, Bangkok, England and Amsterdam to name a few destinations. His most recent and memorable trip was in celebration of his 70th birthday with Sumathi, mom, sisters and nephew Jonathan in Harry Potter’s magical world at Universal Studios, Orlando.

His first love never changed, reading was his number one passion, and over the years the library he built grew vast, and varied - the Greek Classics, poetry, music, mystery, videos, sci-fi, fantasy, and comics. Fred would read everything from Euripedes’ ‘The Bacchae’ to Donald Duck’s misadventures, though like all bibliophiles he had his favourites.

His peerage were Faulkner, Chaucer, Garcia Marques, Maria Vargas Llosa, Shakespeare was his bard, and Harry Potter was his hero.

More than gourmand of life, Fred was a scholar at heart. He came alive in creative engagement, and was a consummate teacher. It pleased him to impart knowledge he cultivated from both books and his own experiences, and he did it naturally. Warm, open-minded, curious and accepting, it was easy to learn from Fred.

His life was full. He chose to live at the intersection of the Socratic Good Life and Epicurean ideal, and anyone to everyone was welcome to learn.

He enriched the lives of all who knew him, from relatives to friends to co-workers and acquaintances.

He will be dearly missed by them all.

Fred is survived by his beloved wife of 26 years, Sumathi; his mother, Elizabeth; siblings, Mark (Shirley), Kathy and Susanne; his mother-in-law, Meena; sister-inlaw, Vasenthi (Bala); brother-in-law, Jayabalan; six nieces and nephews, an abundance of close friends, and his cat, Luna.

Many individuals and institutions

played a role in extending Fred’s time on Earth and his quality of life. The family would like to offer a heartfelt thanks to the many, wonderful, dedicated and indefatigable staff of UW Carbonne Center’s Medical, Hematology & Radiation Oncology in Madison, Wisconsin, and KishHealth System, Cancer Center (Medical & Radiation), Kishwaukee Hospital and Clinic (formerly DeKalb Clinic). In addition, Lehan’s Home Medical, DeKalb, which helped with care and palliative items, and Jewel OSCO Drugs, DeKalb, where Fred picked up his prescriptions for decades. Finally, we would like to thank the DeKalb Public Library, for providing Fred the means to a lifetime of books, tapes, videos and kindred spirits.

Visitation will be at the Finch Funeral Home in DeKalb on Thursday, November 12, 2015, at 5:00 p.m. with services following at 7:00p.m.

Cremation will follow and burial of cremains will be at Fairview Cemetery Urn Garden on a later date.

In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made to the DeKalb Public Library Expansion Fund. Please mention the Fred J Ross memorial when donating.

Arrangements were entrusted to Finch Funeral Home, 310 Oak Street, DeKalb, IL 60115.

By KARL RITTER The Associated Press STOCKHOLM – This year is on track to be a record 1 degree Celsius (1.8 degrees Fahrenheit) hotter than the 19th-century average, hitting a symbolic milestone in the temperature rise that scientists blame mostly on human activities, Britain’s weather service said Monday.

To measure global warming, scientists compare today’s temperature level with that of the latter part of the 19th century, when record keeping began and before humans started burning fossil fuels on a large scale, releasing heat-trapping carbon dioxide into the air.

A rise of 1 degree C is important because it’s halfway to the 2 degrees C (3.6 degrees F) that governments have set as a limit to avoid dangerous levels of warming.

The British Met Office said global temperatures in January-September were 1.02 C above the 1850-1900 average, adding that the remainder of the year is expected to remain hot because of the El Nino weather phenomenon.

“We’ve had similar natural events in the past, yet this is the first time we’re set to reach the 1 degree C marker and it’s clear that it is human influence driving our modern climate into uncharted territory,” said Stephen Belcher, director of the Met Office Hadley Centre for climate science.

Met Office officials noted it doesn’t mean every year from now will be at least 1 degree warmer, as natural variability will still play a role.

The World Meteorological Organization, the U.N. weather agency, is expected to release its assessment of this year’s temperatures later this month, combining the Met Office numbers with data from NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in the U.S. On Monday, WMO reported that levels of carbon dioxide and methane, the two most important greenhouse gases, reached record highs last year, continuing the warming effect on the world’s climate.

Carbon dioxide levels rose to nearly 398 parts per million, from 396 ppm in 2013, WMO said.

The CO2 level fluctuates throughout the year and the monthly average crossed the symbolic 400 ppm threshold in March 2015. The WMO said the annual average “is likely to pass 400 ppm in 2016.”

Pushed by the burning of coal, oil and gas for energy, global CO2 levels are now 143 percent higher than before the industrial revolution. Scientists said that’s the main driver of global warming.

WMO said methane levels reached a new high of about 1,833 parts per billion in 2014.

About 40 percent of methane emissions come from natural sources and about 60 percent from human activities like cattle breeding, rice agriculture and the extraction of fossil fuels.

“Every year we report a new record in greenhouse gas concentrations,” WMO Secretary-General Michel Jarraud said. “We have to act now to slash greenhouse gas emissions if we are to have a chance to keep the increase in temperatures to manageable levels.”

The Associated Press AMMAN, Jordan – A Jordanian police captain opened fire Monday on instructors at an international police training center in Jordan’s capital, killing at least five people, including two Americans, before being shot dead by security forces.

It was not clear if there was a political motive to the shooting spree, which also wounded six people, including two Americans. But concern has swirled in staunchly pro-Western Jordan over possible revenge attacks by Islamic militants since the country assumed a high-level role in the U.S.-led military campaign against the Islamic State extremist group, which controls large areas of neighboring Syria and Iraq.

The unprecedented assault inside a Jordanian security compound also raised questions about the kingdom’s image as an island of relative stability in a turbulent region.

The shooting took place at the Jor-

Suu Kyi’s party heads for sweep in Myanmar’s historic vote

By ESTHER HTUSAN and VIJAY JOSHI The Associated Press YANGON, Myanmar – The party of opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi claimed victory Monday in virtually every seat in four states where results of Myanmar’s historic parliamentary election were known, signaling a sweep that could give it the presidency and further loosen the military’s stranglehold.

The announcement at the headquarters of the National League for Democracy set off a new round of jubilation among the party’s red-shirted supporters, who already had been celebrating the result of Sunday’s vote.

The NLD said it had won 44 of the 45 lower house seats and all 12 of the upper house seats from the party stronghold of Yangon, Myanmar’s biggest city. It also won all 38 seats in Ayeyarwaddy state, all but one of the 40 in Bago,

and 11 out of 19 lower house seats and all 10 upper house seats in Mon state.

The trend was expected to continue in Myanmar’s remaining 10 states.

Even without official results, it was clear that the Union Solidarity Development Party was facing a rout. The party is made up former junta members who ruled the Southeast Asian country for a half-century and as a quasi-civilian government since 2011.

Many of its leaders conceded personal defeats in their races.

Although the government’s Union Election Commission did not announce the outcome of the Yangon races, the NLD has stationed representatives at counting centers and kept its own tallies. The election commission has been slow in releasing the numbers.

The United States congratulated Myanmar on the election but noted that more work remains ahead on the country’s road to democracy.

pharmacist, said he didn’t vote for the ruling party because “they were only former military people. If I voted for them, that means I am asking my own enemy to come back into my life.”

Suu Kyi, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate and pro-democracy icon, had urged supporters earlier in the day not to provoke losing rivals who mostly represent the former junta in the country also known as Burma.

Hours before the Yangon announcement, party spokesman Win Htein said the NLD had secured about 70 percent of the vote counted by midday. Another spokesman, Nyan Win, put the number at 90 percent.

“We will win a landslide,” Nyan Win told The Associated Press.

If those figures are confirmed by official results, it would mean that Suu Kyi’s party would not only dominate Parliament, but could also secure the presidency despite handicaps built into the constitution.

identity was given to him by a senior official in the Public Security Department.

A U.S. official, speaking on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief the media, said eight people died in the attack, but Momani would only confirm five.

In Washington, President Barack Obama said that “we take this very seriously and will be working closely with the Jordanians to determine exactly what happened.”

U.S. State Department spokesman John Kirby said the two slain Americans worked for DynCorp International, a major military contractor, in a program funded by the State Department’s Bureau of Diplomatic Security and Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement. The two wounded Americans are also civilians, the State Department said.

The wounded – three Jordanians and a Lebanese in addition to two Americans – were treated at an Amman hospital where King Abdullah II paid a visit.

SeaWorld says it will end orca shows in San Diego

By JULIE WATSON and MIKE SCHNEIDER The Associated Press SAN DIEGO – SeaWorld will end orca shows at its San Diego park after visitors at the tourist attraction made it clear they prefer seeing killer whales act naturally rather than doing tricks, the company’s top executive said Monday.

CEO Joel Manby told investors the park – where the iconic “Shamu” show featuring killer whales doing flips and other stunts debuted decades ago – will offer a different kind of orca experience focusing on the animal’s natural setting and behaviors, starting in 2017.

Animal rights activists called the move a marketing gimmick and want the company to phase out holding any whales in captivity.

“An end to SeaWorld’s tawdry circus-style shows is inevitable and necessary, but it’s captivity that denies these far-ranging orcas everything that is natural and important to them,” said Jared Goodman of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. “This move is like no longer whipping lions in a circus act but keeping them locked inside cages for life.”

The Orlando, Florida-based company has seen revenue drop since the 2013 release of the documentary “Blackfish” that examined how orcas respond to captivity. It chronicles the case of Tilikum, a killer whale that caused the death

Attendance has dropped the most at the San Diego location, and the decision to end orca shows will be limited for now to that park, the original home of Shamu, its first orca.

The shows will continue at the other two SeaWorld parks in San Antonio and Orlando.

The killer whale shows at the Shamu stadium in San Diego were the park’s main draw in the 1970s and helped build SeaWorld as a top tourist attraction. Trainers would ride

Tyler Anthony, a Chicago attorney with the Canna Law Group, said Illinois patients can be legally impaired for driving with any amount of cannabis in their systems even if not “subjectively impaired.”

“Some patients, especially those who medicate regularly, may walk around legally impaired without even realizing it,” Anthony said. Illinois law offers some protection from arrest, stating that a cannabis ID card does not constitute probable cause or reasonable suspicion and can’t be used alone as justification for a search.

“Even though there are these statutory protections, patients should prepare to be asked about their cards” during traffic stops, he said.

“It’s important that they know their rights during traffic stops and other interactions with police.”

the killer whales while training them.

Manby told investors Monday that California customers want to see less theatrical production, so the new attraction will have a strong conservation message.

“They want the orca ex-

perience to be activities the whales do in the wild,” Manby said. “Things they perceive as tricks, they don’t like as well.”

However, that’s not “universal across our properties,” he added.

The news came days after SeaWorld Entertainment Inc. reported its third-quarter earnings missed Wall Street expectations.

SeaWorld earlier this year announced plans for a $100 million expansion of the killer whale tanks in San Diego to boost attendance, but the California Coastal Commission made approval of the project, dubbed “Blue World,” contingent on SeaWorld agreeing not to breed, transfer or sell any of its captive orcas at the park.

Manby called the ruling – which SeaWorld plans to fight in court – a bad precedent for not only SeaWorld but all zoos and aquariums. He indicated to investors that the company might shelve the San Diego project.

“We certainly know with the regulatory environment out there that happened with orcas, and some of what happened in California, with the reputation out there, I think we would be foolish if we didn’t look at other options,” Manby said.

He announced that the company is considering adding hotels at its parks, starting with San Diego, to attract overnight visitors.

SeaWorld has reached an agreement with a hotel developer to embark on the exploratory phase.

New Hampshire and Rhode Island), and at least two others eventually, once their programs are up and running (Maryland and Hawaii).”

Patients must register with the state where they want to buy. Federal and state laws prohibit transporting marijuana across state lines.

“Obviously, patients cannot return with their medicine from out of state,” Anthony said. “But if they are on an extended visit or vacation, they don’t have to worry about bringing their medicine with them.”

PRICES AND TRACKING

A digital tracking system

discourages diversion of marijuana to the black market. Illinois is monitoring products from seed to sale.

High prices also discourage diversion. With medicine costing roughly the same as illegal weed, patients won’t have a financial incentive to become dealers.

“My days of being a criminal are over,” Timothy Stallings of Macomb, told the Canton Daily Ledger, as he purchased marijuana for multiple sclerosis. He acknowledges using marijuana illegally for his symptoms in the past. “I want the stigma gone.

It’s medicine and it needs to be treated like medicine.”

The ability to hear is vital to a child’s development.

Speech, language, communication and learning are dependent on being able to hear normally, and the earlier in life a child experiences hearing loss, the more serious the effects on development, according to the American SpeechLanguage-Hearing Association.

There are four major ways in which hearing loss affects children, ASHA says. It causes delays in speech and language; the delays cause learning problems, affecting academic achievement; the negative effect on communication can cause a child to be isolated socially and to have lower self-esteem; and finally, the delay can affect what vocational choices the child makes later.

Hearing impaired children use smaller and less complex words and sentences than those with normal hearing. They often can’t hear the end of a sentence or soft sounds so they use them less, making them more difficult to understand. If they can’t hear their own voices, they may speak too loudly or not loud enough or sound like they’re mumbling.

These combined effects touch every area of learning, especially reading and math. Statistics show that children with mild to moderate hearing loss work at one to four grade levels below other children their age who hear normally, ASHA says.

Those with severe to profound hearing loss usually work no higher than a third- or fourthgrade level. That gap widens every year.

Children with hearing loss also often suffer socially and psychologically, and have difficulty making friends.

The good news is that with proper intervention children with impaired hearing can live fully functioning lives. The key is to get the earliest diagnosis and intervention possible to help them develops strong speech and language skills without developmental delays, says the Better Hearing Institute.

If you suspect that your child suffers from hearing loss consult a hearing healthcare professional.

From new visitors jump-

customers, the Filipos’ market seems to be providing a needed service, he said.

“Most people are just delighted that they have something like this close to home, that they’re not having to drive an hour away to pick up the things that they like,” he said. “It’s been a pretty even mix of a customer base. Aside from the Asian community we have some of the ‘foodies,’ I call them, who like to come in and they do a lot of cooking.”

With the business up and running, James and Mary Ruby Filipos no longer need to make hour-long car trips to get their groceries, and neither does the rest of DeKalb County.

“We played around with the idea of opening our own business for a lot of years,” James Filipos said. “As consumers of these products, there’s just nothing around here.”

Offering a toast to the spirit of tourism I recently sat down with Rick Masomer, co-owner of Prairie State Winery with his wife, Maria, to uncover the story behind the beautiful new mural that is the toast of the town in Genoa.

Masomer told his wife last spring he wanted to explore commissioning a mural at their location in Genoa that was powerful and simple and would really draw attention from the street. They’ve done it.

Residents and visitors alike are stopping to take pictures of the new mural, painted on their building at 222 W. Main St. in downtown Genoa.

This beautiful new piece of public art started to unfold months ago, when Masomer was talking to friends at Resource Bank about his mural idea. They referred him to Eulojio Ortega, a muralist from Sandwich they had commissioned for Resource Bank’s Hampshire and Somonauk branches.

Masomer studied Ortega’s work at his website – chicagomuralist. com – and fell in love with it. He met with Ortega and came away convinced he was the right artist for their mural.

He told Ortega he envisioned having a bottle, glass of wine and grapes on the mural. He didn’t want it to be complicated, which also reflects the easygoing style that both Rick and Maria have in their business and personal lives.

Ortega requested one thing. He wanted someone to create a design concept to ensure that they were on the same page before the work began. Masomer immediately thought of an artist who could help. Some-

DCCVB VIEW Debbie Armstrong one he and his wife had worked with for years in their business.

Marla Shega had created designs for many of the Masomers’ wine labels, including all the Prairie State labels that are unveiled each year at Nouveau Wine Weekend in Galena.

Nouveau is the French-inspired tradition of previewing the first samplings from the fall harvest.

This year, Prairie State Winery will showcase wines in Galena on Nov. 20 and 21 as usual, but will also hold its own event Thursday, Nov. 19, in Genoa. Nouveau Toast & Breakfast will ring in the arrival of the first vintage of the season with wine enthusiasts getting to sample the new 2015 vintage and enjoy complimentary breakfast quiches. Each year, 20 posters with the Prairie State Nouveau label are produced and signed by the artist for collectors. Shega’s work can be viewed at her website – marlaspallett.com.

While it’s unusual for an artist to allow someone else to bring their vision to life, Shega was eager to be a part of the Masomers’ mural project due to her longstanding relationship with the couple. She went to work creating the concept design that was given to Ortega. Her design was the inspiration for the mural that Rick Masomer had envisioned.

Now, it was up to Ortega to bring it to life.

He began the project in October and took about 10 working days,

Spiegelhoff receives Illini Chief Club Award Mark Spiegelhoff, CEO of the Kishwaukee Family YMCA, was recently recognized with an Illini Chief Club Award at the Illinois State Alliance of YMCA’s Fall Staff Rally.

The Illini Chief Club Award recognizes a current chief executive officer that provides extraordinary leadership to a corporate YMCA in Illinois by exemplifying the YMCA’s values and mission. The award recognizes cause-drivMark en leaders in their association, Spiegelhoff community, the Y movement and among their peers across the state.

Spiegelhoff spent 11 years with his past Illinois YMCA and 30 years in the Y movement. When he started in 2004, there was only one Y in his community. During his tenure, the Y expanded to four additional locations, two program centers and two membership centers. Membership increased from 4,000 to 8,000 members. Also under his leadership, the Y raised more than $4 million in capital donations and the total amount raised in the annual campaign increased from $25,000 to more than $200,000. Today that Y has more than 40 collaborative partnerships in the community.

In his new role as CEO of the Kishwaukee Family YMCA, Spiegelhoff’s past experience and knowledge will further develop the programs and staff at the Kishwaukee Y to make great impacts in the community in the areas of youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.

Prairie State Winery in Genoa has a new mural welcoming customers to its building. utilizing Shega’s illustration along with photos that provided the realism he wanted to create.

What makes the work so personal to Rick and Maria Masomer is a phrase located in the bottom right corner of the mural: “Fruit of the vine, Work of human hands … ” It has deep, personal meaning for the Masomers since it adorned the wall in their original location in Genoa. It has a spiritual meaning for them as well, because they hear it every Sunday in church.

Trust me, experiencing the power and beauty of this mural in person is indeed a spiritual experience. Take a trip to Genoa to check it out and let your eyes drink it all in. Remember to go inside and sample the wine produced from Il-

linois grapes by loving hands. This mural may have been created in 10 working days but the vision behind it represents the love and nurturing of a local business that started 17 years ago.

DeKalb County is fortunate to have local artisans crafting and producing wines, microbrews, whiskey and vodka attracting new visitors to the area every day that we, as residents, can explore and enjoy in our own backyard. Here’s a toast to all the hard-working people who are part of the tourism landscape in DeKalb County.

Cheers and safe travels.

OUR VIEW

Use common sense with dress code

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Memories of a long-ago blizzard

To the Editor: Monday Nov. 11, 1940, was called Armistice Day and coincided with a huge blizzard that struck the Midwest.

It may not be a date that will live in Infamy as FDR proclaimed a little over a year later about Dec. 7, 1941, but to those of us who were alive at the time, it still looms large on the memorable scale.

There were no hourly updates on impending disasters. No television, and we had only one small radio.

My father awoke us that morning, saying ”You won’t be going to school today. There’s a blizzard out there.”

Of course my three brothers and I jumped right out of bed to look.

We not only did not go to school that day, but schools were closed for a whole week! Most of the pupils who attended our oneroom school lived on farms that surrounded the small Minnesota town where I grew up. Roads were impassable.

We lived on the main street leading to the business section and there was no traffic at all that

morning. The frost-covered storm windows made it impossible to see much outside except where we blew our hot breath on them to melt the frost and expose a small opening. But we did not have to actually see anything as we heard the howling wind.

With no advance warning of the storm, the grocers’ shelves were not ransacked ahead of the approaching storm. We had a huge garden each year and my mother always canned a lot of vegetables from that, home-grown potatoes were stored in the basement. She also canned meat. The only item missing was milk as the milkman could not make deliveries, either.

Once the storm subsided and we could step outside to see what it had wrought, a beautiful pristine sight greeted us: huge wind-driven sculpted snowdrifts, – no foot prints, auto traffic or plows marred the vast whiteness.

Wind chill? Never heard of it. Polar vortex? Likewise.

Memory dims pertinent details of how we endured in the ensuing week, but survive we did and lived to tell about it, unlike the 59 people in Minnesota who perished because of the storm. How blessed we were and thankful in

not needing medical attention or enduring other emergencies during that perilous week.

Historians record what happened, but people who lived it tell how it felt.

Mil Misic DeKalb

Self defense not a preventative measure

To the Editor: I read recently that the DeKalb police will offer self defense classes to women in our community.

These classes will also review applicable sexual assault laws and relevant information.

While I applaud the effort to help whoever may participate to feel empowered and enlightened, it is vitally important to understand that self-defense classes are not preventative.

They, and other risk reduction efforts – especially the exhortation to “watch what and how much alcohol you drink” – do not address the causes of rape or relationship violence (power and control, shame, etc.).

In addition, the vast majority of sexual assaults are committed by someone well-known to the

victim. The common emphasis on stranger danger (especially to our children) is misleading and does not acknowledge the sad reality and what statistics reinforce.

Until we are ready as a community to address the cultural norms, patriarchy, media messages, and institutional inequalities that allow sexual violence to not only continue but thrive – we will not begin to see a change in the current reality of 1 in 3 women or the 1 in 6 men in our world who will experience sexual assault or sexual abuse.

Sexual violence affects everyone – men, women, children & people of all genders and sexualities.

I look forward to the day when we quit expecting potential victims to keep themselves safe.

We need to stop sexualizing women and young girls; stop teaching young men to be sexually aggressive; equip bystanders with info and strategies; and enlist everyone as allies. We need to highly prioritize sexual assault prevention as the public health epidemic it is and quit making it only a women’s issue.”

Ben Wilcox Sycamore

Words and images on a sweatshirt worn by a Dixon High School junior created a stir recently.

When it was all over, we couldn’t help but be thankful that we don’t bear the responsibilities of being a school administrator.

Not only are administrators charged with educating students to thrive in the 21st century, but they have to protect our children as well.

Unfortunately, we live in an era of Columbine, Sandy Hook, Virginia Tech, NIU, Umpqua, and we could keep going. So far this year, there have been 52 school shootings that have killed 30 people. So an abundance of caution is in order when it comes to keeping students safe.

Viewed in that light, we can understand how the message on the sweatshirt, “I’ll stop hunting when they pry the gun from my cold dead hands,” plus a picture of a shotgun and other hunting equipment, could raise enough concern to cause a teacher to send the boy to the principal’s office.

And we can understand how the principal could take one look at the sweatshirt, consider the school’s dress code – among its points are that student clothing may not display offensive language or advertise or promote violent behavior – and tell the student it was not allowed.

The student said he was given options: take the sweatshirt off; turn it inside out if he wanted to keep wearing it; go home, get a different sweatshirt and return to class; or just go home, period.

Upset by the situation, the student chose to go home for the rest of the day.

The sweatshirt wasn’t actually the student’s to begin with. His father, a hunter, had lent it to his son.

It didn’t take long for school officials to have a change of heart, after discussing the matter with the boy’s father.

Two days later, when the boy arrived at school, he said he was told that he could wear the sweatshirt after all, and that it wasn’t against the rules.

Indeed, hunting is a time-honored tradition in our region and much of America.

And the school dress code, as pointed out by the father, does not state anything about apparel that bears pictures of guns.

Perhaps the school’s dress code needs tweaking or a more drastic review. For example, the dress code at Freeport High School requires school uniforms – no slogans allowed.

Other issues aside, it’s all about people using common sense, which the principal embraced when he changed his mind about the sweatshirt. On the other hand, it’s unfortunate that we live in these times when gun violence plagues schools, so students and parents might want to think twice about a student wearing a shirt with an image of a gun on it.

In the final analysis, when it comes to school safety, erring on the side of caution is always the best policy.

ANOTHER VIEW

Liberals’ response to dissent: ‘shut up’

Vouchers for voters an experiment worth trying

“ ‘Shut up,’ he explained.” That’s a sentence from Ring Lardner’s short story “The Young Immigrunts.” It’s an exasperated father’s response from the driver’s seat to his child’s question, “Are you lost, Daddy?”

They also can be taken as the emblematic response of today’s liberals to anyone questioning their certitudes. As with the father in the story, it’s a response that indicates uneasy apprehension – the fear that they have no good answer.

It was not always so. Today’s liberals, like those of Lardner’s day, pride themselves on their critical minds, their openness to new and unfamiliar ideas, their tolerance of diversity and differences. But often that characterization seems as defunct as Lardner, who died far too young in 1935.

Consider the proliferation of speech codes at our colleges and universities. The website of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education sets out the speech codes at 400 of the nation’s largest and most prestigious institutions of higher learning.

The liberals who run these institutions – you won’t find many nonliberals among their faculties and administrations – have decided to limit their students’ First Amendment right of freedom of speech.

One would have thought that universities would be the last place to limit free speech. The American Association of University Professors was founded a century ago this year precisely to champion free speech on campus.

That was then and this is now. We are told that speech codes are necessary because some students may be offended by what others say. In recent years we have been warned that seemingly innocuous phrases may be “micro-aggressions” which must be stamped out and that “trigger warnings” should be administered to warn students of possibly upsetting material.

A day after campaign-finance crusader Larry Lessig dropped his bizarre bid for the presidency, Seattle became the first city in the country to adopt a law that he and other reformers have been seeking for years: publicly funded vouchers for political candidates. Seattle’s experiment will provide a good test of whether it’s viable. The answer is far from clear.

Under Seattle’s law, which voters adopted in a referendum, the city will mail four $25 vouchers to each voter, who can direct them to any candidate running for local office, including mayor and city council. The catch is: To accept the vouchers, candidates must agree to limit their campaign spending.

Spending limits may do candidates and voters more harm than good – and if the proliferation of super-PACs reaches the local level, the limits will be rendered moot anyway. Nevertheless, the goals of the new law are worthy: helping those with limited access to money mount viable campaigns, reducing the power of special interests and the amount of time candidates must spend fundraising, and encouraging more citizen participation in the democratic process.

Other cities have adopted campaign-financing programs that match private contributions with public dollars. In New York City, for instance, a $175 contribution to a candidate nets that candidate $1,050 in public money. But only a tiny percentage of residents make donations. In Seattle, every voter will be able to make donations – and that could prove problematic.

To pay for the vouchers, voters passed a property tax increase that will generate about $6 million for each city election. That’s significant, but only a fraction of the $41 million that would be necessary if every voter were to ask for vouchers. It’s odd, to say the least, that a program designed to increase public participation in campaigns is counting on low participation.

Corruption could also sour voters on the idea.

Campaigns will inevitably try to game the system.

Even the mailing of vouchers could be problematic: voter registration rolls are notoriously out of date.

The agency responsible for enforcing the new law will need to be vigilant about fraud and abuse.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

VIEWS Michael Barone Sadly, students join in on the fun. They demonstrate to block speeches on campus of people such as George Will, Condoleezza Rice and IMF head Christine Lagarde. They musn’t let any dissenting voices or dissident ideas be heard. This is liberalism at work in America today.

Fortunately, there are dissenters. FIRE has brought successful lawsuits against some codes and has persuaded some universities to drop their codes. The University of Chicago recently issued a strong statement supporting free speech on campus. So did former Chicago adjunct law instructor Barack Obama.

But colleges and universities remain largely no-go territory for those who disagree with prevailing campus opinions.

A notable exception is Liberty University, founded by the Rev. Jerry Falwell, whose mostly conservative students in great numbers listened politely and attentively to a speech by presidential candidate Bernie Sanders. It was quite a contrast with places like Harvard.

Even beyond the campus, liberals are eager to restrict free speech. This is apparent in some responses to those who argue that global warming may not be as inevitable and harmful as most liberals believe, and that while increased carbon emissions would surely raise temperatures if they were the only factor affecting climate, some other factors just might be involved.

Many liberals won’t hear of this – and don’t want anyone else to, either. Some extremists call for global warming “deniers” (a word used to suggest kinship with those

who deny the Holocaust occurred) to be imprisoned or even executed as heretics.

Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse has called for criminal investigation of global warming theory critics under the federal anti-racketeering statutes.

Whitehouse is not the only Democratic senator who is determined to stamp out the free speech of those who disagree with him.

In September 2014, 54 Democratic senators voted to amend the First Amendment of the Constitution to allow Congress and state legislatures to set “reasonable” limits on how much candidates can raise and spend during their campaigns and how much individuals and corporations could spend to influence elections.

This was an attempt to overturn the 2010 Supreme Court decision in Citizens United v. FEC, which Barack Obama denounced a few weeks later in his 2010 State of the Union message and which Hillary Clinton has been denouncing in debates and on the stump. The case involved government efforts to bar distribution of a movie critical of Clinton during the 2008 campaign.

When Justice Alito asked the deputy solicitor general whether the government could ban a book that expressly backed or opposed a candidate, the answer, after some uncomfortable stammering, was yes, they could.

In the 1930s liberals expressed outrage over Nazi book burnings in Germany. Today, liberals’ response to opposition is that of Lardner’s lost parent: “Shut up,” they explain.

BEARS 22, CHARGERS 19 VIEWS / BY MARK POTASH

Bears’ defense lacks leadership SAN DIEGO – The Bears’ defense under Vic Fangio continues to play like a precocious child – sometimes good, sometimes bad and lacking maturity. Fangio is good at what he does, but it remains to be seen if this kid ever will grow up. This defense needs not only playmakers, but leadership.

Monday night’s game against the Chargers was another mixed bag that was much more a workin-progress than a promise of future greatness.

The Bears looked out of sync

and totally confused as Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers drove his team 63 yards on eight plays for a touchdown and a 7-0 lead.

Never more so on Rivers’ 14-yard touchdown pass to an absolutely wide-open Danny Woodhead.

The Bears not only looked like a team that was ill-prepared, but lacking leadership. On the touchdown pass, Woodhead lined up wide to the left and ran past Bears linebacker Sam Acho, but nobody else picked him up.

Injured Forte in unenviable spot

It stinks to be Matt Forte.

You might find that hard to believe, what with the Bears running back making $7.1 million in base salary this season. But it does.

He’s up for a new contract after the season, and most NFL teams no longer see running backs as all-important. Mostly they see them as replaceable, or at least interchangeable.

Forte appears to be the exception to that rule, which would be wonderful if he AP photo weren’t in a cookie-cutter Bears tight end Zach Miller makes a touchdown catch as Char- industry that, on the field at gers inside linebacker Donald Butler looks on in the fourth least, is all about rules, no quarter Monday night in San Diego. The Bears won, 22-19. exceptions.

VIEWS Rick Morrissey He’s the one running back who seems to be outrunning time and age.

Most NFL front offices and coaching staffs are made up of followers and copycats. The conventional wisdom is that running backs are disposable by the time they are 30.

A 29-year-old Forte, on the other hand, is indispensable.

Or is he?

ILLINOIS NORTHERN ILLINOIS WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Positive vibes for opener Versatile soph ready to make impact

School releases final reports on athletes’ claims

By JESSE SEVERSON jseverson@shawmedia.com

By DAVID MERCER

DeKALB – As a freshman last season, Kelly Smith got significant playing time for the Northern Illinois women’s basketball team partly because injuries devastated its rotation.

Now a sophomore, she’ll be a major reason behind the Huskies’ new-look, versatile offensive attack.

“I feel like in this system I have more freedom to play all around the court,” Smith said. “With our up-tempo pace this year, I have more chances to run the floor and get more transition opportunities.”

Smith and the Huskies had a strong start under new coach Lisa Carlsen in a blowout exhibition win over St. Francis (NAIA) on Saturday, cruising to an 86-54 victory heading into its season opener at 5:30 p.m. Friday at Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville.

Against St. Francis, the 6-foot-1 Smith had 22 points on 9 of 16 shooting – including making her only 3-point attempt – and had 14 rebounds and two assists in 31 minutes.

“Her biggest asset is her versatility,” Carlsen said.

“Her ability to face the basket and get things done in the bottom half of the lane. She’s somebody who can shoot the 3, she can put the ball in the basket, she can play with her back to the basket and we’re going to ask her to do all those things.”

The Huskies are looking to push the pace under Carlsen, who came to NIU after going 31-3 at Lewis University (Division II) last season. The last time the Huskies scored at least 86 points in a game was early 2011, when they beat Western Illinois, 91-84, in double overtime. The last time they scored at least 86 points in regulation came when they Scott Walstrom – NIU Media Services beat Bradley, 86-73, on Nov. 13, NIU sophomore Kelly Smith and the Huskies women’s basketball team had a strong start under new coach Lisa Carlsen in a 2009.

The Associated Press CHAMPAIGN – Illinois fired athletic director Mike Thomas on Monday, saying he had done nothing wrong but a change was needed after the department was plunged into crisis when football and women’s basketball players said they had been mistreated by their coaches.

Thomas, who will be paid $2.5 million to buy out the remainder of his contract, s a i d h e b e - Mike Thomas lieves he acted appropriately but accepts the decision.

“I believe it is a good time to turn the page and put the focus of this organization back on the success and welfare of our student-athletes,” Thomas said in a prepared statement.

Thomas is the latest high-profile leader to be swept aside in the turmoil at the university’s flagship campus this year, after the resignation of one of his top backers, chancellor Phyllis Wise, and the August firing of football coach Tim Beckman.

The school also released final reports, more than 1,200 pages in all, on independent investigations into the allegations. The football report found Beckman pressured players to play hurt, sometimes profanely questioning their toughness in front of other players, and interfered in medical decisions.

That echoed details that were disclosed when he was fired.

The latest women’s basketball investigation found no evidence to back up allegations from seven former players who, among other things, some were pressured to play hurt.

Interim chancellor Barbara Wilson praised Thomas for leading the athletic department through a difficult six months, but said the university’s sports programs needed a fresh start. She declined to offer details on exactly why she decided to fire Thomas.

“It’s time to put the distractions of the past months behind us,” Wilson said at a news conference at Memorial Stadium. “This has not been an easy decision, but I believe it’s the one that will allow us to concentrate on the future.”

The move leaves hiring decisions still to be made on a head football coach, athletic director and their boss, the chancellor.

SPORTS BRIEFS Mays, Hagan earn MAC honors after win

The Northern Illinois football team nabbed two of the three Mid-American Conference Player of the Week honors after its dramatic 32-27 win Nov. 3 at Toledo.

Senior linebacker Boomer Mays was named the MAC West Defensive Player of the Week and sophomore kicker Christian Hagan was the division’s Special Teams Player of the Week.

Mays sealed the Huskies’ win over the previously unbeaten Rockets with an interception on Toledo’s final drive. He also added 10 tackles – including five solo – and helped lead the NIU defense that allowed 10 points in the final three quarters against the Rockets. The senior linebacker is second on the team in tackles with 62.

Hagan nailed a career-long 52-yard field goal, which is tied for second-longest in school history. On the night, the sophomore kicker made all four of his field goals – including three straight in the first half that cut Toledo’s lead to 17-16 going into halftime.

On the season, Hagan is 12 for 15 on field goals.

The offensive player of the week for the MAC West was Western Michigan junior receiver Corey Davis, who had seven catches for 163 yards and three touchdowns in a 54-7 victory over Ball State.

Players: Protest shows athletes have power

COLUMBIA, Mo. – Unrest on the Missouri campus brought on by dissatisfaction with the way the president of the university system handled complaints about racism had been brewing for months.

It took only two days after the football team joined the protest and threatened to stay off the field until a black student protester ended his hunger strike for the target of their boycott to be gone.

“Let this be a testament to all of the athletes across the country that you do have power,” Tigers defensive end Charles Harris said Monday.

“It started with a few individuals on our team and look what it’s become. Look where it’s at right now. This is nationally known, and it started with just a few.”

The Missouri team’s stand was credited with escalating the protest about long-simmering tensions about race and other student welfare issues on campus. It was a serious threat with financial implications: The Missouri athletic department faced a $1 million dollar payment to opponent BYU if it had to back out of the game.

– Staff, wire reports

mlazerus@suntimes.com CHICAGO – Artemi Panarin and Viktor Tikhonov were doing their standard postgame act – half serious interview, half vaudeville routine – in the Blackhawks’ dressing room after Sunday’s victory over the Edmonton Oilers. It’s become standard procedure by now: A reporter asks a question, Tikhonov interprets, Panarin starts answering, and Tikhnov interprets the answer as Panarin speaks.

Panarin already has become a master of one-liners, but this particular question – about his growing confidence – garnered a more lengthy, thoughtful response.

“I played a couple games not so well, and started thinking about things that were outside of my control,” Panarin

said through Tikhonov. “I was a little embarrassed about my game. The guys came up and told me I needed to relax a little bit, trust in myself, and remember that I’m a good player.”

With that, Panarin cast a wary eye at Tikhonov and nudged him with his elbow.

“I’m an OK player,” Tikhonov clarified.

Yes, Panarin understands.

He understands the language a lot better, with Tikhonov saying he’s picked Artemi Panarin up most of the hockey terms he needs to receive orders on the bench. He understands how fortunate he is to be back on a line with the hottest player in the league, Patrick Kane, who is on a 10-game point streak and was named the NHL’s “first star” of the week after posting four goals and five assists in four games to tie Tyler Seguin for the league lead in points. And Panarin understands the modest nature of an NHL dressing room, where boasting is verboten, and the team always comes first.

It’s one reason why Panarin shrugs off talk that he’s the early frontrunner for the Calder Trophy as the NHL’s rookie of the year. For one thing, he’s 24 years old and doesn’t think of himself as a rookie (Kane was 19 when he won the Calder in 2008). For another, he doesn’t want to spend too much time thinking about his stats, even though he’s at a point-a-game pace with four goals and 11 assists through 15 games – first among rookies, and eighth in the league overall.

“If I start looking at the league leaders and the stats, that kind of gets in my head,” Panarin said. “I definitely don’t look there. I’m just trying to play well. It just happened that I couldn’t score (for 11 games). It wasn’t (about) the goals, it was the way I was playing. I wasn’t exactly happy with the way I was playing. [Sunday] was much better. I hope that there won’t be any more games where I lose my confidence.”

Hawks coach Joel Quenneville generally agreed with Panarin’s “embarrassed” assessment of his past few games, when he was playing on the

top line with Jonathan Toews.

But reunited with Kane and countryman Artem Anisimov – really the only reliable line the Hawks have had all season – Panarin broke out immediately.

“I thought he was always fine, but I still thought there was more pace to his game, and we saw that pace (against Edmonton),” Quenneville said. “I just thought he had more directness to his game.”

The chemistry came right away for Kane and Panarin. As the rookie gets more comfortable in the NHL and with the English language, it’s only getting better.

“It’s not that bad, communications-wise,” Kane said. “I kind of figured out how to speak to him, words he understands.

If it really comes down to it, you just tell Anisimov to tell him something. He’s a great kid, he loves playing hockey and he loves trying to do well. It was nice for him to get on the board again and score a few goals.

Hopefully, we can keep this going moving forward, because they’re fun players to play with.”

Continued from page B1 “You could tell in the third and fourth quarters that we were a lot better conditioned and with our depth, we could run the floor more,” Smith said. “I didn’t realize how much we were winning by until I looked up at the end and it was like, ‘Whoa.’ ” As a freshman in an injury-plagued season for the Huskies in 2014-15, she eventually was thrust into the starting lineup – playing in all 29 games and was fourth on the team in minutes per game (24.9). Now she returns as the second leading scorer (9.0 per game) and was named to the Mid-American Conference All-Freshman team.

Under Carlsen, the Huskies are looking to push the ball – which means even listed as a forward, Smith likely will lead the break at times this season.

Smith, who Carlsen said is a stretch-4 for the Huskies, has shown a willingness to shoot from beyond the arc – not without some struggles as a freshman. She finished the season 10 for 48 from from behind the 3-point arc (.208), including going a combined 3 for 16 (.157) in the first two games before reducing her number of attempts per game.

Sixers forward Richaun Holmes (center) tries to hang onto the ball against Bulls defenders Jimmy Butler (from right) Pau Gasol and Nikola Mirotic in the first half of Monday night’s game in Philadelphia. The Bulls won, 111-88.

The Bulls might have had tougher competition in an intrasquad scrimmage.

Philadelphia (0-7) has lost 17 straight games dating to March 27. That matches the fourth-longest mark in franchise history, and three of those lengthy losing streaks have come since the start of the 2013-14 season.

The Sixers matched an NBA

record with 26 straight losses from Jan. 31, 2014, to March 27, 2014, and also lost 17 straight from Oct. 29, 2014, to Dec. 1, 2014, according to STATS LLC. “The reality is, we’ve had a lot of practice at this the last two years,” third-year coach Brett Brown said.

With Brown hamstrung because of a talent-thin roster built by team president Sam

Hinkie, the Sixers’ last win was March 25 against Denver.

Led by Gasol and Rose, the Bulls went on a 22-4 run in the first quarter to race to a 15-point lead, only to lose it in the second quarter. The Bulls are the latest team to cruise to a big lead early, then appear to lose interest and cough it up, only to wake up and step on the gas and put away the game.

AMERICAN CONFERENCE

By DAN GELSTON The Associated Press PHILADELPHIA – Jimmy Butler stuck a Sharpie inside a media scrum, using the marker as an imaginary recorder to pick up sound bites nearby from teammate Doug McDermott.

Butler could have used the Sharpie to mark a W on the schedule before the opening tip.

Playing the winless 76ers is about as automatic a win as a team gets these days – this decade, really – in the NBA. Nikola Mirotic had 20 points and 10 rebounds and Pau Gasol scored 16 points to lead the Bulls past Philadelphia, 111-88, Monday night.

The Bulls played without Joakim Noah and still cruised to a 15-point lead in the first quarter that they eventually stretched to 26. McDermott scored 18 points, Derrick Rose had 12 and the Bulls looked like title contenders against the woebegone Sixers.

“We needed something like this,” McDermott said. “We’ve had a couple of good practices but it’s good to play against someone else.”

“Shooting is just a confidence, contagious thing,” Carlsen said. “We have kids out here that can shoot the 3, ... so much of it is mental. The confidence is a lot better now than it was a few weeks ago and a few months ago.”

Smith already is looking at having more on her shoulders this season, and not only because of an entire year of experience under her belt. Fellow sophomore post Renee Sladek, who started 27 games last year, already is out for the season with an injury and senior post Natecia Augusta, who missed all of last season, played in one minute against St. Francis before having to come out with an injury.

“It’s going to be an on-going thing for her. She’s unfortunately had a lot of knee issues,” Carlsen said of Augusta.

“It’s probably something she’ll battle for the whole year. We don’t expect to lose her for an extended period. It’ll be something we have to monitor the entire season.”

Injuries aside, it has been a while since the Huskies have put together a winning season.

They haven’t had a winning conference record since going 10-6 in the MAC and 15-15 overall in 2008-09. They haven’t had a winning overall record since going 19-12 and 8-8 in confer-

ence in 2006-07.

However, with a new system under Carlsen and a strong exhibition game against St. Francis, there is reason for optimism. Against the Saints, freshman guard Courtney Woods scored 22 points on 8 of 10 shooting, fellow freshman MiKayla Voigt scored 14 points on 5 of 8 shooting (3 for 4 from the 3-point line) and junior guard Ally Lehman continued to do a little bit of everything. The Huskies’ leading returner in minutes, points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks, Lehman had 15 points, eight rebounds and six assists in the win over St. Francis.

Despite the fact many of the Huskies’ main players will not be seniors and Carlsen is coming into her first season – taking over a team that doesn’t have a player who was signed under her watch – the new coach isn’t prepared to wait to win.

“I don’t think any coach at this level will tell you that they don’t need to win now,” Carlsen said. “The reality of it is there’s been a lot of changes, coaching-wise, style-wise, it’s a lot for them to handle.

Of course, we want to win, but it’s a process and I understand that. These kids have done a good job of buying in and I think when you have that, anything’s possible.”

Continued from page B1 Wilson said no decision would be made on a football coach until the season ends.

Interim coach Bill Cubit has made clear he’d like the job.

And Wilson said it’s too early to say when and how Thomas will be replaced.

Senior associate athletic director Paul Kowalczyk was named interim AD. He said he planned to quickly meet with coaches and with major donors and business partners to try to assure them the sports programs and projects such as the renovation of the State Farm Center basketball arena are on track.

“I’m going to take the helm at this point and try to calm the waters,” said Kowalczyk, who added that Thomas offered to help him get up to speed. “I feel for the guy.”

Allegations of mistreatment by former football player Simon Cvijanovic surfaced in May, and the report found Beckman “employed tactics that violated standards related to sports medicine protocols and scholarships.”

Upcoming Sprint Cup schedule CHASE FOR THE SPRINT CUP Eliminator Round Sunday: Quicken Loans Race for Heroes 500, Avondale, Ariz.

Championship Round Nov. 22: Ford Ecoboost 400, Homestead-Miami Speedway, Homestead, Fla.

Team Penske battling each other with title on the line CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Nobody seems better prepared for the third round of NASCAR’s playoffs than Team Penske, which has led 662 of the past 834 laps raced.

Joey Logano and Brad Keselowski have been on their game at this pivotal point in the championship race, and they’ve got nothing at all to show for their efforts.

With one race remaining to set the field of four for NASCAR’s title-deciding season finale, it’s highly possible both Penske drivers will not race for the championship. It’s possible one of the drivers might still grab one of the three remaining slots in the race.

But both? That’s going to take a small miracle.

Yet that is part of the quirks of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship format. The most deserving drivers won’t necessarily race for the title. They instead fall victim to the cutthroat elimination system that pares the field over a trio of three-race segments. During last year’s format debut, both Keselowski and Jeff Gordon failed to make the finale despite a combined 10 victories between them, three of them Chase wins.

It seemed such a shame that two of the most dominant drivers of the year were kept out of the finale, but that’s how it played in this knockout format.

Now Logano, who reeled off three consecutive wins in the second round of the playoffs, is in a must-win situation heading into Sunday’s race at Phoenix International Raceway. He was intentionally wrecked by Matt Kenseth after leading 207 laps at Martinsville Speedway, where the victory he seemed poised to claim would have moved into the final four.

A blown tire in the opening minutes of Sunday’s race at Texas has him in a deep hole and he needs a win at Phoenix.

Brad Keselowski is greeted by fans during introductions for Sunday’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas. to benefit both of his drivers.

“The way those two cars have become so successful and fast is the way they’ve worked together. I’m sure Roger is going to continue to preach that.

The only way one of them will have a shot at Phoenix to advance is if they continue to work together. A good problem to have would be both cars running up front 1-2.”

But that’s almost a fantasy at Phoenix, where reigning series champion Kevin Harvick has run wild the past 2½ years. He’s won four straight and five of the past six, creating the foreboding sense that the field is all running for second Sunday.

Harvick can’t really sit back and coast, either. He is no lock to make it into the finale, and he has not run as well as Team Penske in this Chase.

Keselowski, the 2012 series champion, has taken a pragmatic approach to the Penske situation. With so much on the line for the teammates, it would be easy for either or both to falter.

He doesn’t believe that will happen.

IN THE PITS Jenna Fryer Then there’s Keselowski, who set a Texas record with 312 laps led Sunday. But he couldn’t hold off Jimmie Johnson, who led the final four laps to keep Keselowski out of victory lane. It was a shrewd win for Hendrick Motorsports, which blocked one of the top title contenders from moving into the final, where Gordon awaits.

It’s going to be Logano vs.

Keselowski in Phoenix for a spot in the finale that neither might ultimately earn. It’s a worst nightmare scenario for Team Penske, which coughed away the IndyCar championship when Juan Pablo Montoya lost on a tiebreaker in the finale.

“Racing teammates is tough, there’s nothing easy about it,” said Johnson, who battled teammate Gordon to the wire in 2007. He called on team owner Roger Penske to figure out a way for Phoenix

“It isn’t pressure, it is opportunity,” he said. “I am happy to have those opportunities with a great team. As strong as we ran [at Texas], if we carry that over to Homestead, good Lord, watch out.

We know we need to win the next two to win the championship. The good news is we have that opportunity. That’s the way I look at it.”

Logano also sees only opportunity ahead. Once his road to the final was derailed

by Kenseth, the Daytona 500 winner has done nothing but focus on the only thing he can control: Trying to win a race.

He is last in the eight-driver field, and that’s got to be a bitter pill to swallow because without Kenseth’s act of retribution, Logano is locked into the finale instead of Gordon.

“Sometimes you just have to roll with the punches,” Logano said. “We will be ready for Phoenix. This team is strong.

We didn’t take any wind out of our sails. I feel great about our chances at Phoenix.”

2. Jay Cutler: Undeterred by two first-half turnovers, Cutler was efficient, completing 67.5 percent of his passes for 345 yards and two TDs. He broke the franchise record for TD passes when he found Martellus Bennett for a 1-yard score.

3. Lamarr Houston: After playing only four snaps last week and being a nonfactor much of the season, Houston stepped up with four QB hits but most importantly, his two sacks on Philip Rivers on the final drive.

3 things that worked

1

Screen game, quick passes: The Vikings didn’t let the Bears do anything in the horizontal passing game last week, but Cutler got some positive gains from Langford in the flat and Jeffery on well-blocked screen passes. The passing game was efficient.

Jeffery had 151 yards receiving, Martellus Bennett caught eight of nine balls thrown his way for 57 yards.

2

Third-down offense: As evidenced when they converted four third downs on a 93-yard touchdown drive in the second half, the Bears were able to move the sticks, and they weren’t easy conversions, either, with Cutler finding receivers in third-and-medium to keep drives going. The Bears were 6-for-8 converting third downs after halftime.

3

Stopping Gordon: The run defense held the Chargers to 77 rushing yards and rookie Melvin Gordon managed only 2.8 yards a carry and a long of five yards. That helped put the Chargers in third-and-long situations, and San Diego was 2-for-6 on third down in the second half.

1 2

First-half defense: The Bears had one QB hit in the first half and Philip Rivers took advantage, completing 16-of-22 passes for 152 yards and a touchdown. The Chargers were 5-for-7 on third down before halftime.

Corralling Woodhead: When Malcom Floyd left the game with an injury, Danny Woodhead became the Chargers’ top weapon in the passing game, and the Bears’ defense wasn’t consistent enough bringing him down in the open field. He finished with six catches for 78 yards, plus 33 yards rushing.

3

Piling up the points: Robbie Gould missed two field goals and the Bears were only 2-for-4 scoring touchdowns when in the red zone. They could have put this game away early had they taken advantage of 446 total yards and eight drives in Chargers territory.

3 moments that mattered

1

Cutler to Jeffery post pick: On the first play after Cutler’s interception that was returned for a touchdown, Adam Gase dialed it up to Alshon Jeffery, showing confidence in the duo that had just had a crucial miscommunication. Cutler hit Jeffery for 47 yards, and Chargers cornerback Jason Verrett left the game after the play. That led to a touchdown, and a huge night for Jeffery.

2

Langford on third down: Late in the third quarter, the Bears faced a third-and-five at their own 35 on a must-score drive.

The Chargesr blitzed, leaving the left flat open, where Cutler found Langford, who sped down the sideline for 23 yards. He would score six plays later to punctuate the drive.

3

Porter’s pass break-up: Houston’s sacks were obviously key to the victory, but on third-and-long, Rivers seemed to have an opportunity to hit Javontee Herndon on a comeback route for a long gain, but Porter got his hand on the ball at the perfect time, forcing the fourth-and-23, San Diego’s final play.

What now?

Record: 3-5 What it means: Still a long way to go to be in any wild-card talk, but it’s a confidence-booster. If only the Bears were in the AFC West, as they’re 3-0 against John Fox’s former division.

What’s next: The Bears travel to St. Louis on a short week to AP photo take on Todd Gurley, Aaron Donald, Jeff Fisher and a Rams team Bears running back Jeremy Langford scores a touchthat lost in overtime to Minnesota on Sunday. down in the second half of Monday night’s game against – Kevin Fishbain, kfishbain@chicagofootball.com the Chargers in San Diego. The Bears won, 22-19.

Are McClellin, Jones up to the task to lead • POTASH

Continued from page B1 Christian Jones’ absence on the play was noticeable. A starter all season, Jones was inexplicably on the bench for the final plays of the Chargers’ scoring drive, with LaRoy Reynolds and Jonathan Anderson manning the linebacker positions.

It left the Bears’ without their defensive play-caller. Jones is the one player on the defense with a headset in his helmet. With Shea McClellin injured, it’s his job to set the defense. No wonder confusion seemed to reign as the Chargers drove down field.

It exposed a quandary facing the Bears as they re-build their defense under Fangio. McClellin and Jones both are in the formative stages of playing linebacker in Fangio’s defense. It remains to be seen if either McClellin – the 2012 first-round draft pick – or Jones – the 2014 undrafted free-agent – will be a factor whenever the Bears are a playoff team again.

One difference is with the role of defensive play-caller. McClellin embraces the role. Jones does not.

“I just feel comfortable calling the plays and it’s my job to get everyone on the same page – I like that,” McClellin said this week. “I like being that kind of leader.”

With McClellin missing his third consecutive game with a sprained left knee, the majority of that responsibility again fell to Jones. But he’s more deferential about that role than McClellin “It’s been good, but it’s been a team effort,” Jones said. “Everybody helps out signaliing in and communicating back and fourth. It’s not a lot of pressure on one person.”

Whatever it is, the Bears’ defense could use somebody who steps up as a leader of this defense. For years under Lovie Smith, the Bears had several play-makers who filled that role in varying degrees – from Brian Urlacher to Lance Briggs to Charles Tillman, they almost always had somebody who gave the rest of the defense the confidence that somebody was in charge.

To their credit, the Bears didn’t wilt against a Chargers offense that came into the game ranked No. 1 in the NFL in total yards. Cornerback Tracy Porter stripped Chargers wide receiver Dontrell Inman and Jones recovered at the San Diego 41 with 10:50 left in the second quarter and the Bears trailing 7-0.

But two plays later, Jay Cutler threw an interception that Jason Verrett returned 68 yards for a touchdown. That left the Bears’ defense with that much more work to do. It remains to be seen if they are up to that task.

Rookie tailback Langford plays well in Forte’s absence • MORRISSEY

Continued from page B1 We figured to get at least a hint of an answer Monday night, when the Bears defeated the Chargers, 22-19, in San Diego. Forte was out with the knee injury he suffered against the Vikings, giving rookie Jeremy Langford and Ka’Deem Carey, in his second NFL season, a chance to shine.

Could either do a decent imitation of Forte? Langford made a beautiful diving catch for a 32-yard gain in the first quarter and had a 16-yard rush in the second quarter. Carey showed a few flashes.

It stinks to be Forte because he’s playing for a rebuilding team. Do the 3-5 Bears really want a veteran running back who can help them win games right now? Probably not.

If they truly want a fresh start, it’s hard to see them plunking down tons of money for Forte in the offseason.

But it also is hard to believe general manager Ryan Pace could look at Langford and see a back remotely close to their injured starter at this point.

The Bears held on to Forte at the trade deadline last week, perhaps because they saw there wasn’t a market for a running back who turns 30 next month.

But what if Forte is one of those rare running backs who plays younger than his age? What if he’s 29 going on 24?

Forte never has fit neatly into whatever thinking has held sway at any particular time in the NFL. It’s a trap I fell into while watching him in his earlier years with the Bears.

Surely such a lean, upright slasher of a running back wouldn’t be able to take all the pounding, would he?

Surely he would.

Until Monday, he had missed a total of five games in 7 1/2 seasons, and only one game in the previous three. Going into this season, he had

averaged 1,100 rushing yards and 60 receptions a year. That included 102 catches last season, an NFL record for running backs.

That’s a statistical way of saying that where other backs might be slowing down, he hasn’t.

“I feel like I can continue to play as long as I want to,” he had said in May. And maybe he can.

His offseason minicamp absence aside, he hasn’t made much of a fuss about his contract status. But it’s obvious he’s a proud man. Somewhere under the surface is the question, “Hey, what about me? What about what I’ve done and what I can still do?”

And the truth, if the Bears can get past what NFL groupthink tells them, is that a certain running back isn’t slowing down as he approaches 30.

Forte tried to publicly make his case for a new contract in May, but it apparently didn’t help with the front office.

“You just figure like a guy who’s been there since Day 1, continues to put in hard work and has produced, you figure that that guy should be rewarded,” he said. “But in this business that doesn’t always happen.

All I can do is talk to them about it and they can say yes or no. They said we’re not talking about that type of stuff right now, so all I can do is play football.

“I’ve come to the realization that every run or catch that I may have might be my last in a Bears uniform, so if they don’t want to re-sign me, I’ll have to play somewhere else.”

Lots of people are on board with the Bears’ rebuilding plan, which is fine. Not much else has worked the past 10 years or so. But everyone should think long and hard about a future without Forte. It might not be as rosy as it sounds.

Special-needs daughter gets little notice from dad’s family Dear Abby: A year ago, I ended a turbulent five-year relationship with my boyfriend, “Alex,” that resulted in a special-needs child. Alex is not living in reality when it comes to our daughter’s disabilities, and his family is not present in her life.

Our daughter, “Meghan,” spent months in the hospital before she was healthy enough to come home, and Alex’s family visited only a few times.

I have tried to resolve the issues with Alex’s family so our daughter can have a relationship with them, but it is still one-sided. Meghan’s paternal family will send a present for her birthday or Christmas, but they spend

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips no time with her. They have other grandchildren in other states whom his mother drives hours to see, but she won’t drive five minutes to see my daughter.

I’d like to start rejecting the gifts they send Meghan with a note explaining why.

I find it disturbing that they’ll spend money on my child, but are unwilling to spend time with her. I feel the gifts are a payoff. I don’t want Meghan to feel like the odd man out when she’s old enough to realize how she

is treated compared to the other grandchildren. Abby, what are your thoughts? –

End Of My Rope Dear End Of My Rope: I

hate to see you sever your already tenuous ties with Meghan’s paternal family.

Their behavior toward her may have something to do with the fact that she has disabilities, or the “turbulence” of your five-year relationship with their son.

If they would consent to it, I would recommend family counseling for all of you. However, if they won’t, and because you feel that their lack of involvement in Meghan’s life eventually will become hurtful to her, you are within your rights

to reject their gifts and find more support for her within your own family.

Dear Abby: My son tells me no one wants to hang out with him at the small community college he attends.

He is a handsome, loving, polite young man who earned the citizenship award three years in a row in elementary school. His sister and I were discussing that maybe he is being too polite and it could turn people off. No one likes the “nice guy.” Do you have any advice I can give him? –

I am unable to guess what your son’s problem might be.

However, it is telling that you are seeking advice about his social problems, not him. The best advice you could convey to your son would be to talk about this with a counselor at school.

Together, they may be able to figure out why he has trouble fitting in. You also should encourage him to get involved in activities, which should widen his circle of acquaintances.

I disagree with your statement that no one likes a nice guy. Nice people like nice people. From this distance,

Raised A Good Boy Dear Raised A Good Boy:

After years of slow progress, stem cell research quickens Dear Dr. K: People have been talking about stem cells as a revolutionary technique for a long time. Has anything come of it? And why has it been so controversial?

Dear Reader: You’re right; people have been excited about stem cells for nearly 25 years. Yet progress was quite slow, and some people had major ethical concerns. But in the past eight years, progress has accelerated and the ethical issues largely have been circumvented.

Theoretically, stem cells could be used to replace cells that are killed by disease – heart cells killed in a heart attack or brain cells killed by Alzheimer’s disease. But to explain the exciting potential of stem cells, I first need

ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff to define some terms and concepts.

Each human being is made of trillions of cells.

They are grouped together into organs, such as the eye and the stomach. Each organ contains types of specialized cells, and each type looks and acts differently.

Each of these very different cells came from just one original cell: the fertilized egg. The egg divides and keeps dividing until one cell has become trillions. Inside every human cell are a little over 20,000 genes – the same

20,000-plus genes. The genes inside a light-sensing cell in the eye are the same as the genes in an acid-making cell in the stomach. So if both cells have the same genes, why are these two different types of specialized cells so different from each other?

What defines a specialized cell is what genes inside the cell are turned on. The eye cell and the stomach cell have different genes turned on.

OK, back to the fertilized egg: About five days after the egg is fertilized, it has divided into several hundred cells. Some of these cells are called embryonic stem cells.

They have the ability to turn into any type of specialized cell in the body. Indeed, they

promptly begin to do that, and the embryo starts to form organs.

With a few exceptions, once a cell has become specialized, it will stay that way until it dies.

For decades we believed an embryonic stem cell could turn into a specialized cell, but not vice versa.

For example, suppose you needed new heart cells because of a heart attack.

Until 2007, there were two problems with using embryonic stem cells to do this.

First, the embryonic stem cells would come from the embryo of another human being. Your immune system might well recognize those cells as foreign and attack them. Second, many of those

embryos would have come from induced abortions, raising ethical questions.

If only you could use your own embryonic stem cells, that would solve both problems. But of course your own embryonic stem cells existed only briefly, a long time ago, and you can’t turn back the clock.

Then, in 2007, a research breakthrough changed everything. The breakthrough basically showed that you can turn back the clock. Keep a copy of today’s column, and tune in tomorrow to see how.

Mom needs to give up smoking for the health of her children Dr. Wallace: My younger sister (12) and I (17) live with our mom, who is a single mother. We love her very, very much. Every quality of hers is good, except for one. It’s the bad one that concerns me. My parents were divorced a year ago and the day our father moved out of the house, mom started smoking. Someone at her office told her that smoking would relieve the tensions she was suffering.

At first, mom was going outside to smoke. But once the weather started to get cooler she started lighting up in the house. Now our house smells like a chimney. Even when she went outside to smoke, I encouraged her not to get addicted

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace to cigarettes because I know that use of tobacco products can cause serious health problems – even death. She refused to quit and said she needed the tobacco boost to keep her going.

But, now that she is filling our house with tobacco smoke most of the time, I’m afraid my little sister and I are going to get sick breathing the smoke. Since she probably won’t quit smoking, will you please inform her she could be causing health problems for her children? Thanks. –Adella,

HOROSCOPE

Mom: Your daughter is very concerned your cigarette habit could cause you serious health problems and that secondhand smoke also is causing concerns for the health of your children.

There is no question that secondhand smoke irritates the eyes and noses of sensitive nonsmokers, but now the evidence is mounting that it is much more serious than we realized.

Secondhand smoke also causes significant damage to the lungs of nonsmokers, scarring the small airways in the lungs. This reduces lung capacity, making it necessary to put more effort into breathing. Reduced lung capacity often is a forerunner of emphysema and other serious disorders. The

A large case-control study by the American Cancer Society found that women with husbands who smoked a pack or more a day at home had double the risk of lung cancer, compared with women married to nonsmokers.

There’s the evidence. Secondhand smoke is a serious health risk. Now it’s up to you to protect yourself and your children. Do your very best to give up your cigarette habit. It’s important that you and your children remain as healthy as possible. If it’s going to take a little extra time before you are tobacco-free, please

eliminate smoking inside your home until then. Your children are depending on you, because they need you and love you very much.

CROSSWORD

ADVICE & PUZZLES 5 BRIDGE Phillip Alder

Do you win nine this way or that?

Liana Liberato, a television and film actress, said, “I started theater when I was three, and I started doing professional acting when I was nine.”

Today’s deal revolved around the numbers three and nine. South was in three-notrump. Can you see the three ways he could have collected nine tricks? West started with three rounds of hearts, and East discarded a spade and a diamond.

Note South’s initial takeout double. In the balancing position, a one-no-trump overcall is weak, not strong.

Then, when North had sufficient to advance with two spades over two hearts, South had an easy jump to three no-trump.

South had six top tricks: two hearts and four diamonds. He had potential winners in both black suits, but West, who was marked with the missing aces, was threatening to establish and run his hearts. Declarer had to make it too expensive for West to take tricks with those aces.

At trick four, South led his low spade. If West had jumped in with his ace, declarer would have claimed his contract with three spades, two hearts and four diamonds. So West played low.

Now South repeated the formula. He won with dummy’s spade jack, played a diamond to his hand and led a low club. If West had taken that trick, declarer would have had nine tricks via one spade, two hearts, four diamonds and two clubs.

But when West ducked again, South won with dummy’s queen and led a spade to his queen to get home with two spades, two hearts, four diamonds and one club.
