Alderman seeks council pay raise DeKalb city staff collected data comparing salaries with 12 similar municipalities

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN bkeeperman@shawmedia.com

and BRETT ROWLAND browland@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Dave Baker, 6th Ward alderman, wants to more than double the pay of DeKalb City Council members to encourage more candidates to run for elected positions, but his push for a pay hike comes as the city struggles to find money for everything from

pension payments to road repairs.

“Five-thousand dollars is ridiculously low,” Baker said of the $5,400 a year paid to members of the City Council.

“It should be at least $12,000.”

The council is set to discuss the pay issue at its meeting at 6 p.m. Monday at the DeKalb Municipal Center, 200 S. Fourth St. At Baker’s request, city staff compiled pay data for

elected officials in other municipalities for the council members to use in reviewing pay for elected officials including the mayor, aldermen and city clerk.

Baker said council members who are better paid will perform better.

“I see a degradation to the integrity of the council,” he said. “We let things go by that we know are wrong because no one has the energy or incen-

tive to delve in and stop it.”

City Council members are paid $5,400 a year. City staff compiled compensation data for 12 comparable municipalities with council salaries ranging from $1,400 a year in Streamwood to $16,423 a year in Romeoville. The median pay for those 13 municipalities was $5,400. Romeoville’s council pay was more than double the second highest on the list, Hoffmann Estates ($7,400).

DeKalb’s $5,400 was above the median of $5,000 in a comparison with four other college towns, including Champaign ($5,000) and Carbondale ($4,200). DeKalb’s pay also is above the median of $4,800 on a list of other nearby communities, including Cortland ($2,400) and Rochelle ($5,000).

Bob Snow, 4th Ward alderman, said that although there was never a good time to look at pay for elected officials,

he felt it was appropriate to review the data on a regular basis. City code calls for reviewing the compensation each June before a municipal election, according to a staff memo.

“I have no strong feelings one way or another, but [pay] hasn’t changed in several years,” he said. “It should be reviewed.”

Teachers hope to educate students to prevent assault

By LISA LEFF and JENNIFER C. KERR The Associated Press BELMONT, Calif. – This is the new look of high school sex ed: A roomful of teens, 14-yearolds mostly, is told that a girl and boy meet at a school dance. The boy drives her home. They kiss. What happens next, over the girl’s protests, leaves him confused and her crying, no longer a virgin.

“Raise your hands if you think this was rape,” health educator Justin Balido asks the Carlmont High School freshmen, drawing them into a debate that has preoccupied college administrators, lawmakers and the courts.

Sex education in American schools is evolving beyond slideshows on reproductive biology and lectures on avoiding pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. The new focus: teaching students communication skills, such as the “yes means yes” standard for seeking and giving consent during intimate encounters.

After taking hold on college campuses, “yes means yes,” also known as affirmative consent, is trickling down to high schools and even some middle schools, as educators seek to give students tools to combat sexual violence.

“Yes means yes” means sex is consensual only when both partners are sober and clearly state their willingness to participate through “affirmative, conscious and voluntary agreement,” every step of the way.

Are high schoolers ready for this?

Many groups that promote an abstinence approach to sex education think not. They worry that the effort to prevent sexual assaults is giving too many teenagers the idea that sex is OK. “In the midst of this conversation, are the root causes being addressed? I would argue that they really aren’t,” Valerie Huber, president of Ascend, formerly called the National Abstinence Education Association, said. “This discussion is getting reduced to a palliation rather than a solution.”

Festive Friday gathering Sycamore kicks off holiday season with Moonlight Madness

By KATIE SMITH ksmith@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – Children pressed their faces against the glass of a local shop window Friday to stand nose-to-nose with the group of puppies on display during Sycamore’s Moonlight Madness.

Sycamore kicked off its winter shopping season Friday with live window displays and special sales. From carolers on the sidewalk during the year’s first snowfall, to the Ebenezer Scrooge hard at work at the National Bank and Trust, the city’s downtown was prepared to ring in the holiday season, said Sycamore Chamber of Commerce Events and Marketing Assistant Amber Gerardy-Robinson.

“It’s an evening dedicated to shopping, eating, live window displays and fun for the family,” she said.

Displays included Beth Fowler School of Dance’s scenes from “The Nutcracker,” as well as drum performances by the Friends of Jane Adeny Memorial School.

One of the most popular displays, however, didn’t need any

“We always try to do something with TAILS,” Sukach said.

“I wanted to do something a little bit more for the holidays. “

TODAY’S TALKER

I sure hope it’s snowing out there Is it snowing?

I’m writing this as a visitor from the past, a time many hours ago when the skies were clear but the warnings dire.

It better be snowing.

I mean, we’ve had days’ worth of hype leading up to this year’s first snowfall, with lots of assurances that it’s going to be a doozy.

In 2015, snowstorms are more than natural events to be expected when the calendar turns to November. They are productions.

Our imaginations run wild, spurred on by predictions of qualified and trusted sources such as the National Weather Service, which on Friday morning warned, in a message that reads as though it were sent in Morse code, “total snow accumulation …

6 to 10 inches … with most of that coming overnight and Saturday morning.”

De-de-de-dedede-de-de ... take cover!

We talk about the coming snowfall for days in advance, which sometimes inflates the totals.

“Didja hear they say it’s

EDITOR’S NOTE Eric Olson gonna snow Friday? Eleven inches they say.”

These predictions come from everywhere, until they’re just general knowledge. They have spoken: Eleven inches of snow. Snow emergency. Pre-emptive cancellations.

We start shutting things down before the first flake has fallen. School is called off in advance. People cancel plans, leave work early to hurry home and wait. Sometimes, they wait for events that never materialize.

Better safe than sorry, I guess. But it sure seems silly when school’s canceled and it’s plainly obvious to everyone that the kids could easily have had their butts behind their desks learning something.

These latest predictions seem awfully certain that it’s going to snow. Apparently the storm is barreling across the plains, headed right for

us.

They’re probably right, I suppose. I can’t tell the future. But then, the future is a hard thing to predict for anybody, which often makes me skeptical of dire predictions in weather forecasts.

A lot more people used to have that skepticism. Snowstorms used to be things that just kind of happened. You might have had an idea something was coming, but it was hard to be 100 percent certain what you were going to have to deal with until it actually happened.

That attitude isn’t so prevalent now. For one, that’s because weather predictions are more accurate than they were 20 years ago. Meteorologists have more data at their disposal and more sophisticated tools for trying to predict what the Earth’s chaotic atmosphere will dish out.

Also, lots of us can get a weather forecast any time we want on our smartphones, and we’ve been programmed to trust these devices a lot.

If the world’s smartphones started telling us to drive off a cliff, then yes, I’ll bet some

of us would.

You can be aware, at any time, of what the phone says the weather conditions will be for the next 10 days, here or in Oslo, Norway. This will be accepted as fact because the phone says it, and if the phone can tell you that Boris Becker won the U.S. Open Men’s Tennis title in 1989, surely it can tell you what the temperature will be a week from now in Saipan (oh no, thunderstorms all week.)

The phone says 100 percent chance of snow overnight in DeKalb. Those are pretty good odds.

So I guess it’ll be a night in, after making a quick trip to the gas station for fuel for the snowblower and dusting off the snow shovel.

That could be what future me is doing right now, for all I know.

In fact, after all this hype, I’d say I’d better be.

Recovery just beginning for many of Paris wounded

By JOHN LEICESTER The Associated Press PARIS – One bullet tore into Amandine Andretto’s right leg, shattering her tibia. Another hit her in the arm. For three interminable hours, her parents didn’t know if she was among the dozens massacred at the Bataclan concert hall.

Finally, as rescue services rushed her to a triage and treatment center, her mother reached her on the phone.

The 32-year-old lawyer is lucky to be alive, felled by the extremists’ first sprays of

gunfire in the Nov. 13 attack but saved by three officers from an elite police unit who dragged her out of the hall during the subsequent hostage-taking.

It will be at least three months before she can even begin the process of starting to walk again, her father said.

“It is going to be long,” Jean-Pierre Andretto told The Associated Press. “She has two or three more surgeries.”

Simply by staying alive, hundreds of people wounded in the Paris attacks are defying the Islamic State extrem-

ists who sought to kill them.

Yet that defiance comes at an enormous price.

Some were in cardiac arrest when they were evacuated to Paris hospitals but now look like they will pull through.

Scores more with no visible physical scars are haunted by what they saw or did to survive France’s worst attack in decades.

For those with smashed spines and other devastating wounds, the months and years ahead could be a daily battle. In many cases, the high-velocity rounds fired

at close range and exploding suicide belts packed with shrapnel did lasting damage.

By the French health ministry’s most recent count, on Wednesday, 195 people were still hospitalized, three of them in critical condition and 41 in intensive care.

More than 350 people were wounded along with the 130 killed, French officials said.

The Bataclan, where 89 died during a concert by the American band Eagles of Death Metal, was the scene of the worst carnage. There were also attacks at cafes and the national stadium.

Gliniewicz kept secret stash of military equipment

By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com FOX LAKE – The basement that is home to the Fox Lake Police Explorers post looks like disgraced Lt. Joe Gliniewicz was preparing for a zombie apocalypse rather than teaching youth about police work.

The room at the bottom of a flight of stairs behind a padlocked door at the village community center is packed full of military gear meant to equip combat troops.

Kevlar helmets, including several with built-in radio sets for tank drivers, fill several boxes and bins, as do numerous pairs of combat fatigues in woodland and desert colors.

Other boxes hold bulletproof vests, gas masks and load-bearing vests that allow soldiers to carry high-capacity magazines and hand grenades.

It’s a stockpile that authorities say Gliniewicz illegally obtained over the years through a controversial program that has allowed law enforcement nationwide to obtain military weaponry, vehicles and equipment at little to no cost. And it was the discovery of the stockpile by new Village Administrator Anne Marrin, and her eagerness to get a full accounting of it, that could have led Gliniewicz to kill himself.

The size of the stash still

Fox Lake Village Administrator Anne Marrin looks through mounds of boxes Thursday full of military surplus items purchased by Lt. Joe Gliniewicz for the Police Explorers program he oversaw. The items were stored in the basement of an infrequently-used village community building in Fox Lake and were boxed for inventory by an outside company. amazes Marrin and Lake County Sheriff’s Detective Chris Covelli, who was part of the task force that investigated what at first appeared to be a heroic officer killed in the line of duty.

“We were overwhelmed with the amount of surplus gear located in here,” Covelli said as he looked through one of the boxes.

Gliniewicz was found shot dead Sept. 1 after radioing in that he was pursuing three suspicious individuals near an abandoned building. The

community mourned “G.I. Joe” and police officers came from all over the country to give him a hero’s funeral. But investigators concluded earlier this month that Gliniewicz, a 30-year veteran of the force, shot himself and staged the crime scene out of fear of getting caught for stealing tens of thousands of dollars from the Explorers program that he led for years.

His personnel file reveals he was continuously promoted and given increased responsibilities, despite a work history

filled with misdeeds such as sexual harassment, threats to co-workers and problem drinking.

And documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act from the state office that administers the surplus program reveal the misplaced blind trust that police and village officials placed in Gliniewicz allowed him to obtain piles of military gear in plain sight on village property.

“It was most definitely a lack of oversight and a lack of accountability,” Marrin said.

Schmack to seek second term as state’s attorney

By DAILY CHRONICLE news@daily-chronicle.com SYCAMORE – DeKalb County State’s Attorney Richard Schmack announced Friday that he plans to seek another term.

If nominated, Schmack, a Democrat, will likely to face opposition the November general election. At least three local attorneys – Hinckley at-

torney Charles Rea, Sycamore attorney Rick Amato and former DeKalb County State’s Attorney Clay Richard Campbell – are Schmack seeking the Republican nomination for the office.

“I look forward to the opportunity to continue serving

the people of DeKalb County, as their prosecuting attorney, for another four years,” Schmack said in a statement.

“I am equally eager to go on serving the government of DeKalb County as it’s legal counsel in state and federal court. The chance to work for justice with my skilled and dedicated staff of career prosecutors, local law enforcement and victim advocacy groups,

like Safe Passage and Court Watch, has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.”

Schmack’s campaign committee, Citizens to Elect Richard Schmack, said he will file his nominating paperwork and petitions Nov. 30 to appear on the March 15, 2016, Primary Election ballot.

“This is a challenging position and I believe that I have

proven my capacity to meet the challenges over the last three years. Much remains to be done, especially in the area of implementation of the ambitious plans which our state will soon be unveiling for major reform of the criminal justice system,” he said in a statement. “Over the next year, DeKalb County will be instituting Mental Health Treatment Court, HOPE Probation

modeled on the highly successful program originated in Hawaii, and a Felony Offender Initiative Diversion Court along with the lines of the nationally recognized Cook County project. These proven, evidence-based alternatives to prison work, at a cost far below incarceration, in leading nonviolent offenders to improved outcomes personally and to fewer repeat offenders.”

Google Expeditions tested at Clinton Rosette Middle School

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN bkeeperman@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Trey Sherman went to Mount Fuji in Japan, swam with sharks in Australia and traveled to outer space Friday.

Sherman, a sixth-grader at Clinton Rosette Middle School, visited all these places without leaving John Murray’s classroom using Google Expeditions, a new virtual reality education tool that the tech company is piloting at selected schools worldwide.

“It makes the lessons a lot more interesting,” he said.

“Because you are actually there. It makes the memory stick in your head.”

Murray, who has been teaching in DeKalb School District 428 for almost 20 years, said he heard about the program and decided to apply because he thought it would be a great way to bring curriculum to life, he said.

“They get to take these great virtual field trips that you read about in the textbooks,” Murray said. “But they can actually be a part of it.”

The program can fit with curriculum in a wide variety of subjects, including social science, literature and science. District 428 has taken on a bigger focus on technology this year, launching its oneto-one technology program that put Google Chromebooks in the hands of its third- to ninth-graders.

The new program seemed to be a hit Friday with the middle-schoolers.

“I loved it,” Long said.

“My favorite was going on the mountain, because of the view when you looked down.”

By DAILY CHRONICLE news@daily-chronicle.com DeKALB – As the state budget impasse drags on, Northern Illinois University will pay $300,000 to winterize the Stevens Building to protect the progress made on the $27.4 million renovation.

Work on the project stopped June 30 when the state entered a new fiscal year without a budget.

It remains stalled as Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and the Democrat-controlled legislature still have failed to come up with a new budget.

The NIU Board of Trustees approved spending $300,000 as part of an intergovernmental agreement with the Illinois Capital Development Board to prepare the building to withstand the winter weather.

T h e s p e n d i n g w a s a pproved at special board meeting earlier this month.

“We estimated that without doing this work, up to $1 million worth of progress on the project could be jeopardized, and the timeline for bringing the building back online would be pushed back even further,” NIU Vice President for Administration and Finance Alan Phillips said in a statement.

Police: Man shoots self after domestic incident

By DAILY CHRONICLE news@daily-chronicle.com HINCKLEY – A Hinckley man was in critical condition Friday morning after police said he threatened two people with a handgun before turning the gun on himself.

Robert Bohannon, 49, of Hinckley, was taken Thursday to OSF Saint Anthony Medical Center in Rockford.

Hinckley Police were called at 8:11 p.m. Thursday to a house in the 500 block of Donald Drive, where it was reported a man was threatening two other people with a handgun. Police heard what they thought were several gun shots from inside the house when they arrived, but it was later de-

termined that only one shot was fired, DeKalb County Sheriff’s Chief Deputy Gary Dumdie said.

The two people inside the house locked Bohannon in the garage and were able to escape, Dumdie said.

Hinckley police requested help from the Sheriff’s Special Operations Team to enter the house because a gun was involved and there were multiple guns inside, he said.

About a dozen members of the Sheriff’s Special Operations Team were mobilized, and made several attempts to contact Bohannon before entering the house about 10 p.m.

They used gas inside the home and a flash bang grenade to create a distraction

before finding Bohannon inside the garage.

He had been shot with a .38-caliber semi-automatic pistol, Dumdie said.

No other people were inside the house when police entered, he said.

Bohannon could face charges in connection with the incident, but his injuries are very grave, Dumdie said.

“We’ll have to wait things out to see if there are any charges or anything like that,” Dumdie said. “Obviously, there would be if he survived.”

Police from Somonauk, Waterman and DeKalb also assisted in setting up a perimeter around the scene, and the Hinckley Fire Department also was on the scene.

Custom Order Sale Saloom

Plans for the building and renovation project include putting in a new auditorium with tiered seating for up to 400.

The auditorium will include state-of-the-art technology, according to information NIU provided about the project.

The original portion of the building that would be rehabbed is expected to get a new roof, upgrades to its heating, cooling and ventilation system, along with modernized plumbing and electrical systems.

Additionally, the adjacent theater is to be expanded, and classrooms and laboratories in the building are slated to get a makeover and be reconfigured.

Before the budget impasse, the university had been expecting to start using the new Stevenson Building in fall 2016.

was expected to be completed by mid-December, but the first snow of the season was expected to hit Friday night.

NIU must pay for the winterizing work up front, but expects to be repaid for most or all of the work, Phillips said.

The Stevens project was first announced in 2010.

In July 2014, crews demolished part of the building, which was first built in 1959.

Two months later, the university broke ground at the site where a new structure would be built.

Part of the half-century-old ‘L’-shaped building is being renovated while the portion that was torn down is to have a two-story structure built in its place.

The building housed the Department of Anthropology and School of Theater and Dance, which have been temporarily relocated.

EDWARDSVILLE – A 40-year-old southwestern Illinois woman has been charged with stealing nearly $160,000 in public assistance for needy families while she was a state Department of Human Services caseworker.

Amy J. Mueller of Highland was charged Thursday in Madison County with multiple felonies, including aggravated identity theft and official misconduct.

Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan’s office said Mueller created fake benefit accounts using personal information of clients at the Madison County Family Community Resource Center.

She allegedly used the money on vacations, restaurant visits, massages, tanning sessions and nail salon trips.

Mueller began working for the state agency in 1998 and remained a state employee until earlier this year.

Commander who led Afghan mission retires

SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois National Guard said the commander who led its largest post-World War II deployment has retired.

Major Gen. Scott Thoele led the National Guard’s 33rd Infantry Brigade Combat Team to Afghanistan in 2008 and 2009. Roughly 3,000 members of the Illinois-based brigade were deployed.

The National Guard said Wednesday that Thoele officially retired at the end of September.

Thoele called his time as commander of the brigade the highlight of his 21-year career.

He also is a veteran of the war in Iraq.

Thoele also recently retired from

his civilian job as vice president of a bank in Quincy where he and his wife, Paula, live.

Museum puts newspapers edited by Lincoln online

SPRINGFIELD – The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum is making copies of a campaign newspaper edited by Lincoln and other politicians available online for the first time.

In a news release, museum officials said The Old Soldier was published between February and October 1840 to support William Henry Harrison’s presidential campaign. It was published from the Springfield offices of the Sangamo Journal.

The 18 copies of the newspaper were split between four libraries and museums.

But the Lincoln museum’s Center for Digital Initiatives was able to compile a complete set from those collections and put them online.

Daniel Stowell is the center’s director. He said: “The Old Soldier is a unique resource for the study of Abraham Lincoln as a young political operative.”

Midwest sees 1st snow of the season

By JAMES NORD The Associated Press PIERRE, S.D. – Millions of people will feel the effects – to varying degrees – of the first significant winter storm of the season, which is forecast to bring up to a foot of snow to parts of the Midwest.

Iowa and northern Illinois are bracing for some of the largest snow totals, but several states are under a winter storm warning or watch, the National Weather Service said Friday.

The storm system is moving east and will last through this evening when it tails through Michigan, according to Richard Otto, lead forecaster at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Weather Prediction

“Interstates are down to 10 miles per hour, the side streets are blocked and there’s a lot of cars in ditches everywhere.”

Center.

The snowfall is “right on track” for the season, Otto said. But don’t look for it to be the picturesque light, fluffy snow that often occurs in the dead of winter, he said – much of it will be wet and heavy.

Already, southern South

Dakota saw significant snowfall and poor traveling conditions Friday morning, with a foot or more of snow expected by the time it tapers off. Semitrailers pulled off slow-moving interstates to park for the day, said Bret Brown, a cashier at Roadway Express truck stop in Sioux Falls.

“A lot of people complaining about it, nobody wants to be out in it,” he said. “Interstates are down to 10 mph, the side streets are blocked and there’s a lot of cars in ditches everywhere.”

In central and eastern Iowa, road conditions were deteriorating around the state Friday evening as they became covered in snow or ice. Six to 10 inches of were expected.

Meanwhile, northern Illinois was under a winter storm warning, with 6 to 10 inches of snow expected.

The weather service said it’ll start off as rain and snow early Friday night, but turn into wet snow through Saturday afternoon.

Utility company ComEd said it was increasing staffing to make sure crews are ready to respond to power outages.

The weather service also issued a winter storm watch for northern Indiana, saying snow accumulations of 4 to 7 inches are possible. The Indiana Toll Road in the northern part of the state is banning triple-trailer trucks from 7 a.m. today to 1 a.m. Sunday because of dangerous conditions.

Chicago nightclub owners get probation in stampede deaths The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – The owners of a Chicago nightclub where 21 people were crushed to death in a stairwell in 2003 while fleeing pepper spray were sentenced Friday to two years of probation.

Cook County Circuit Court Associate Judge Daniel Gillespie also ordered Calvin Hollins Jr. and Dwain Kyles to perform 500 hours of community service, The Chicago Tribune reported.

Hollins and Kyles thanked the judge for the sentence

during Friday’s hearing.

“It has been a 12-year odyssey for them,” Kyles’ attorney, Victor Henderson, said afterward.

On Feb. 17, 2003, patrons at the E2 nightclub rushed down a stairwell as they fled pepper spray that a security guard released to break up a fight.

Twenty-one patrons were fatally crushed or asphyxiated, and 50 others were injured in one of Chicago’s deadliest club disasters.

Attorneys for the city had agreed to the probation sentence. City Corporation Coun-

sel Stephen Patton said he reached out to the families of those killed and consulted with six of them about the sentence.

He declined to discuss what those families told him, saying he didn’t want to betray their confidence. Patton said the “very high” amount of community service hours reflected the severity of the incident.

“We hope this finally brings closure to everyone affected by this tragedy, including the families of the 21 young people who lost their

lives,” he said in a statement.

Hollins and Kyles had been cleared of involuntary manslaughter charges but convicted of criminal contempt in 2009 for violating a judge’s order to close the second-floor nightclub for building code violations in the months before the stampede deaths. They had been free while their appeals were pending.

The men were originally sentenced to two years in prison, but an appeals court threw out those sentences in 2013 and ordered them resentenced.

Obama asks Supreme Court to save immigration plan

AP file photo

A hexacopter drone is flown during a demonstration June 11 in Cordova, Md.

Task force wants even smaller drones registered The Associated Press WASHINGTON – An aviation industry task force is recommending that operators be required to register drones weighing as little as a half a pound, a threshold that could include some remote-controlled toys, industry officials said.

Federal Aviation Administration officials who convened the 25-member task force on drone registration have said they want to avoid requiring the registration of toys. But the consensus of the task force is that the weight threshold that triggers registration should be set at 250 grams or above, which is about a half-pound, said people familiar with its deliberations.

The threshold is based on the potential impact a drone that size would have if it fell from the sky and struck a person or if it collided with a helicopter or plane, they said.

The recommendations were expected to be submitted to the FAA by today. The FAA then can modify them, and hopes to issue the rules before Christmas to begin registering some of the thousands of drones expected to be purchased over the holidays. One industry official said the target date is Dec. 21.

Four people familiar with the advisory group’s deliberations described the conclusions to The Associated Press, speaking on the condition of anonymity because the FAA asked that the discussions be kept private.

The registration requirement would apply to drone operators rather than individual

drones to avoid requiring operators who own multiple drones to register more than once.

The operator would receive a single registration number, which would then be affixed to the body of each drone.

People who already own drones weighing more than a half-pound would have to register them.

Registration could be done through an FAA website where an operator can provide name, address, phone number and other contact information and receive a registration number.

The Consumer Technology Association estimates 700,000 drones will be sold in the U.S. this year, including 400,000 in the last quarter.

FAA officials said when they announced the formation of the task force last month that they hoped registration will help create a “culture of accountability” among drone operators and allow owners to be tracked down in the event of an accident.

The FAA now receives about 100 reports a month from pilots who say they’ve seen drones flying near planes and airports, up dramatically from last year.

The future of the estimated 11 million immigrants living in the country illegally has been much discussed by Republican and Democratic presidential candidates. Democratic front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton has pledged to go further than Obama to protect large groups of immigrants from deportation.

Republican candidate Donald Trump has proposed deporting all people who are living in the U.S. illegally, an idea embraced by some GOP candidates and dismissed by others.

Obama leaves office in January 2017.

At issue is the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans program, which Obama said would allow people who have been in the United States more than five years and who have children who are in the country legally to “come out of the shadows and get right with the law.”

Texas quickly led a legal challenge to the program, and has won every round in court so far. Most recently, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the states Nov. 9.

Eleven days later, Solicitor General Donald Verrilli Jr. said in the court filing that allowing those rulings to stand

COUPON

WASHINGTON – The Obama administration appealed to the Supreme Court Friday to rescue its plans to shield from deportation millions of immigrants who are in the country illegally.

Moving quickly to put the issue before the justices in time for a decision while President Barack Obama is still in office, the administration called for the court’s immediate review of its plan to protect and give work permits to as many as 5 million immigrants. The immigrants affected are mainly the parents of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents.

The appeal, filed exactly a year after Obama announced his executive actions on immigration, injects the Supreme Court into a dispute between 26 mainly Republican-led states and the Democratic administration, amid a presidential race in which immigration has been a flashpoint. So far, the federal courts have sided with the GOP-led states and effectively blocked the plan.

If the high court agrees

to hear and decide the case by late June, and if the justices side with the administration, that would leave roughly seven months in Obama’s presidency to implement his Barack plans.

Obama But time is running short for consideration of the immigration issue in the court’s current term. Texas, the lead state in the lawsuit, has 30 days to respond but could ask for more time.

If the justices don’t agree by mid-January to hear the case, the issue probably will not be decided until after

Rebuffed over refugees, Obama aims to shift focus to visas

By JOSH LEDERMAN The Associated Press KUALA LUMPUR, Ma laysia – Regrouping from an embarrassing defeat in the House, the White House tried to change the subject away from its Syrian refugee program Friday, instead calling for changes that could prohibit some people from bypassing the traditional visa system to enter the American homeland.

A day after the House overwhelmingly backed onerous hurdles for Syrian refugees, White House officials said President Barack Obama’s intention to veto the bill hadn’t wavered, even though it passed with a veto-proof majority – including 47 members of his own party. Although the strong House vote could improve the bill’s prospects in the Senate, the White House insisted it was unlikely to arrive on the president’s desk.

Instead, the White House

Feinstein, a Democrat, and Sen. Jeff Flake, a Republican.

“This is an area where additional screenings and reforms could be useful in enhancing the national security of the United States,” Earnest told reporters aboard Air Force One as Obama flew to Malaysia.

Feinstein and Flake hope to force anyone who has been in Iraq or Syria in the past five years to go through the traditional visa process, including an in-person interview, fingerprinting and tamper-proof passport security. Feinstein has said she plans to introduce the bill after Thanksgiving, calling the visa waiver program “the soft underbelly of AP photo President Barack Obama boards Air Force One on Friday at Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Manila, our national security policies.”

Trump rivals decry his call for registering U.S. Muslims

By JULIE PACE and JILL COLVIN The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Republican presidential rivals rushed Friday to condemn Donald Trump’s support for a government database to track Muslims in the United States, drawing a sharp distinction with the Republican front-runner on a proposal also deemed unconstitutional by legal experts.

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush called the prospect of a registry “abhorrent.” Florida Sen. Marco Rubio said the idea was “unnecessary” and not something Americans would

support. And Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who has largely avoided criticizing Trump throughout the 2016 campaign, said, “I’m not a fan of government registries of AmeriDonald can citizens.”

“The First Trump Amendment protects reli gious liberty, and I’ve spent the past several decades defending the religious liberty of every American,” Cruz told reporters in Sioux City, Iowa.

The rebukes came after Trump voiced support for a

mandatory database for Muslims in the U.S. while campaigning Thursday in Iowa.

The real estate mogul was asked by an NBC News reporter about the prospect of a database and whether Muslims would be required to be registered. In a video posted by the network, Trump said, “They have to be.”

Asked whether Muslims would have to register at mosques, Trump said, “Different places. You sign up at different places. But it’s all about management.”

On Friday, Trump said on Twitter that he didn’t suggest creating a database but instead

Dems push to prevent gun sales to those on terror list

By MICHAEL BIESECKER and ALAN FRAM The Associated Press WASHINGTON – People on the U.S. government’s terrorist watch list often can’t board commercial airliners, but they can walk into a gun store and legally buy pistols and powerful military-style rifles.

Sensing a political opening from last week’s Paris attacks, Democrats are renewing calls for Congress to pass legislation aimed at preventing terrorists from buying guns. Similar bills – including a post-9/11 measure backed

by the Justice Department under Republican President George W. Bush – have been stymied for years, thanks in large part to opposition from gun-rights groups and congressional Republicans.

According to a March analysis by the Government Accountability Office, people on the FBI’s consolidated Terrorist Watchlist successfully passed the background check required to purchase firearms more than 90 percent of the time, with more than 2,043 approvals between 2004 and 2014. The office is an investigative branch of Congress.

was answering a question from a reporter. However, he did not disavow the prospect of a registry on social media or at an event Friday morning.

Trump has also voiced support for closing certain mosques as a way to contain the terror threat in the U.S. His comments followed the attacks in Paris that killed 130 people and wounded hundreds more. The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility, elevating fears in the U.S. and prompting calls for new restrictions on refugees fleeing war-torn Syria.

The U.S. House passed legislation this week essentially

barring Syrian and Iraqi refugees from the United States.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has slotted the bill for possible Senate consideration, although it’s unclear whether the chamber could get enough votes to override a threatened veto by President Barack Obama.

The Republican candidates’ unified criticism of Trump was striking. His rivals have vacillated in their handling of other inflammatory comments from him, wary of alienating his supporters while increasingly concerned that he’s maintained his grip on the GOP race deep into the fall.

Obama has called for accepting roughly 10,000 Syrian refugees in the next year. But that program has been plunged into uncertainty after the Paris attacks that killed 130 and stoked deep fears across the West about terrorism being exported from Syria, where the long-raging civil war has fueled the Islamic Stage group’s rise.

California is the 1st state to have ‘yes mean yes’ instruction • EDUCATION Continued from page A1 The impetus for redefining mutual consent was pushed on college campuses by activists who reported being raped by fellow students. But younger teens and children are by no means immune: The U.S. Education Department is currently investigating 53 sexual violence cases at 51 elementary and secondary schools in more than two dozen states, including California, Colorado, Illinois, Ohio and Texas.

“I have seen a crying need for students to be safe and prepared, and for their schools to ensure that all students on a campus understand what is acceptable at the school and ways to be made safe,” said Catherine Lhamon, the department’s assistant secretary for civil rights.

Sexual violence was the top policy focus among the 163 sex ed-related bills introduced in statehouses this year, according to the Sexuality Information and Education Council. Nearly two dozen bills covered instruction in healthy relationships, communication, or consent.

California is the first U.S. state to require “yes means yes” instruction in public high schools, starting next year.

Lawmakers in Michigan, Minnesota and Oklahoma have introduced similar legislation, and at least 19 states require some kind of training on healthy relationships, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

“Young boys and young men, I don’t think they get to a college campus and all of a sudden start acting out sexually irresponsible behavior. It starts way earlier than that,” said California Senate President Kevin de Leon, the author of the state’s college and high school affirmative consent laws.

California and New York are the only states requiring affirmative consent on college campuses, but many colleges nationwide have voluntarily adopted the same standard to better handle sexual violence.

The U.S. Education Department takes no position on “yes means yes” or “no means no.”

Audrey Crook (center) speaks during a ninth-grade Teen Talk High School class Oct. 8 at Carlmont High School in Belmont, Calif. Sex education in some American high schools is evolving beyond pregnancy and disease prevention to include lessons aimed at curbing sexual assaults.

Its guidelines simply encourage age-appropriate training in elementary and secondary schools, including clear explanations of the consequences of unwanted sexual conduct and each school system’s definition of consent.

Some in Congress want to make sure students learn to avoid date rape beginning in middle school.

As part of a rewrite of the No Child Left Behind education law, the Senate voted to require schools applying for federal funds to reduce violence and drug abuse to describe how they educate students to clearly communicate about sex, and prevent coercion, violence, or abuse.

“Sex ed stuff is a subject for skittishness among some, but we’re talking about crimes here. We’re talking about crime prevention,” said Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia, who co-sponsored the provision with his fellow Democrat, Sen. Claire McCaskill of Missouri. “We assume people just know good or bad behaviors because it’s in the ether, but ... people need to be taught appropriate behaviors, what’s right, what’s wrong, what are lines you don’t cross.”

The House version of the rewrite doesn’t include this “safe relationship” provision and would need to be reconciled with the Senate provision in conference committee.

It’s not clear if an agreement struck Thursday on a compromise bill will include the Kaine-McCaskill amendment.

Carlmont High’s school district, midway between San Francisco and San Jose, isn’t waiting for a federal or state mandate. Here, affirmative consent training already begins in middle schools as part of a comprehensive approach to sex education.

“You can’t just teach about anatomy and birth control and sexually transmitted infections,” said Perryn Reis, associate director of Health Connected, a nonprofit that provides sex education in Carlmont and 36 other Northern California schools. “The message around ‘no means no’ was in our curriculum for a long time, and as soon as the state changed it to ‘yes means yes,’ we made the change, too.”

And so Balido leads students through the story of David and Michelle, exposing the missed cues, communication gaps and ingrained assumptions in the fictional teens’ disastrous encounter.

Was it rape? About a third of the students think so.

Was it something less?

Two others raise their hands.

it? What should the boy have done, to make sure she was willing?

“Whose fault is this?” Balido asks, eliciting several loud “David’s” and a smattering of quieter “Both.”

“It’s kind of both their faults that maybe Michelle should have gotten to know him better or tried to act in self-defense,” said Nathan Zamecki, 14.

Audrey Crook, also 14, said the absence of struggle should not absolve David or implicate Michelle in the slightest.

“She didn’t know what to do, she just froze, and it’s not like, ‘Now it’s OK,” Audrey said. “It isn’t her fault she didn’t keep saying no ... He forced himself on her.”

Balido steps in to settle the question, making it clear that this was rape under California’s new law.

“Sexual assault or rape is the choice that the perpetrator makes, and it is never the victim’s fault,” the teacher said.

Here’s what affirmative consent sounds like, he continues: “Maybe” means “no.”

“OK,” “sure,” and “fine” also mean “no.” Anything short of an enthusiastic “yes” means “no,” he said.

“If I’m not sure my potential partner is playing hard to get, what can I do? Ask, right?” he said. “I can ask them.”

Weather didn’t prevent residents from enjoying Moonlight Madness • MOONLIGHT Continued from page A1 “We try to gear up for the holidays tonight,” co-owner of Shop in Style, Melissa Lovell, said. “So far is good, but I think the weather has slowed it down a little bit.”

However, the promotion of shopping locally for the holidays tends to mean good business for the next few weeks, owner of Stomp, 307 W. State St., Kathleen Jones said.

“When we started Moonlight Madness four years ago ... it was probably the best kickoff for the holiday season,” Jones said.

The weather didn’t keep everyone tucked away. Laura and Tom Warzecha hadn’t been to Moonlight Madness in years, but decided the snow was too perfect to pass up.

Whether all of Sycamore got its holiday shopping done Friday night, word will get out that all the city’s downtown shops are stocked for the winter, Sycamore Antiques owner James Tucker said.

“We get more people in and that’s the idea is to get people in downtown Sycamore to know we’re here and see what we have,” Tucker said. “Plus, it’s sort of fun to have a lot of things going on.”

Sikich study offered data, helping city officials with salary comparisons • RAISE

Continued from page A1 Snow added that he didn’t think anyone on the council sought the office for the money.

“I don’t think anyone does it for the money, but there is a time commitment,” Snow said.

He said he spends up to seven hours preparing for a council meeting, sometimes reviewing hundreds of pages of documents or meeting with city staff members to go over complicated issues in more detail. Monday’s agenda included 495 pages of documents.

DeKalb’s mayor is paid $22,500, above the median of $17,500 for the same set of communities. In both Belvidere ($71,028) and Romeoville ($88,572), the mayor is a fulltime elected position. The

median mayoral salary was $12,000 in college communities and $22,250 in nearby communities.

Compensation data for the position of city clerk varied significantly depending on if the position was full time or part time.

The communities included in the data sets were the same as those used by professional services firm Sikich in a Pay, Compensation and Classification Study in April, according to a staff memo.

Sikich selected comparable municipalities using an “empirically based, weighted variable model” that factored in things such as population

and municipal services were offered, according to the study. The towns were Carpentersville, Hanover Park, Romeoville, Crystal Lake, Streamwood, Wheaton, Rolling Meadows, Batavia, Elk Grove Village, Belvidere, Hoff-

Gunmen attack hotel in Mali’s capital, killing at least 20 people

By BABA AHMED The Associated Press BAMAKO, Mali – Heavily armed Islamic extremists seized dozens of hostages Friday at a Radisson hotel, but Malian troops, backed by U.S. and French special forces, swarmed in to retake the building and free many of the terrified captives. At least 20 people, including one American, were killed along with two gunmen during the more than seven-hour siege, a Malian military commander said.

An extremist group led by former al-Qaida commander Moktar Belmoktar claimed responsibility for the attack in the former French colony, and many in France saw it as a new assault on their country’s interests a week after the Paris attacks.

While French President Francois Hollande did not link the violence at the Radisson Blu hotel with last week’s bloodshed in Paris, he declared that France would stand by the West African country.

“Once again, terrorists want to make their barbaric presence felt everywhere, where they can kill, where they can massacre. So we should once

Men shouting “God is great” and armed with guns and throwing grenades stormed into the Radisson Blu Hotel in Mali’s capital. again show our solidarity with our ally, Mali,” he said.

President Barack Obama called the attack a reminder of the “scourge of terrorism” and said its barbaric nature only “stiffens our resolve to meet this challenge.”

Gunfire continued through-

out the day at the hotel, which is popular with airline crews and other foreigners doing business in the capital of Bamako, but the shooting had stopped after dark.

Officials would not confirm that the entire complex had been secured by nightfall, al-

though the only activity was firefighters carrying bodies to waiting ambulances.

Malian state television said late Friday night that the government had announced a 10-day state of emergency beginning at midnight as well as a three-day period of national

mourning beginning Monday.

Army Cmdr. Modibo Nama Traore said late Friday that 20 people had been killed, including an official with Mali’s gendarmerie. In addition, he said five people were injured including two police officers.

The U.S. State Department

said one American was among the dead. Her family identified her as Anita Datar of Takoma Park, Md. Datar’s LinkedIn profile said she worked for international development agency Palladium International Development.

“We are devastated that Anita is gone,” the family said in a statement. “It’s unbelievable to us that she has been killed in this senseless act of violence and terrorism.”

China Railway Construction Corp., a state-owned company, said early Saturday that three of its senior executives had been killed in the attack.

The were identified as Zhou Tianxiang, general manager for the corporation’s international group; Wang Xuanshang, a deputy general manager of the international group; and Chang Xuehui, general manager of the group’s West Africa division.

Though Traore had earlier said as many as 10 attackers were involved, he said Friday night that there may have been only two gunmen, both of whom were killed. A police officer at the hotel displayed photos of the two dead gunmen, their bodies riddled with bullets.

Convicted spy Pollard is released after 30 years

Smoke rises as Iraqi security forces and allied Popular Mobilization Forces shell Islamic State group positions Oct. 24 at an oil field outside Beiji, about 155 miles north of Baghdad.

Airstrikes hurt, but don’t halt, IS oil smuggling operations

By ZEINA KARAM and SUSANNAH GEORGE The Associated Press BEIRUT – The United States and Russia are going after the Islamic State group’s oil industry, destroying refineries and hundreds of tanker trucks transporting oil from eastern Syria in a heavy bombardment in recent days aiming to break the extremists’ biggest source of income.

The campaign already appears to be having some effect, with oil prices rising in areas of Syria that rely on crude smuggled out of IS areas. But experts said it will be difficult to cut off the militants’ trade completely since they are likely to switch to smaller, more elusive vehicles.

Putting a total end to the industry would mean destroying the oil fields in Syria, but that would also bring hardship to millions in the population under IS rule and others who depend on the group’s oil, causing fuel shortages as winter sets

in. Otherwise, taking the fields would require ground forces.

Still, the campaign could hit hard on an industry that U.S. officials said generates more than half the revenue the Islamic State group uses to maintain its rule over its swath of territory across Syria and Iraq and pay its fighters.

IS controls almost all of Syria’s oil fields, concentrated in the east of the country, producing about 30,000 barrels a day, along with one field in Iraq. It smuggles most abroad, mainly to Turkey, selling at cut-rate prices and generating nearly $50 million a month.

In the wake of the bloody attacks in Paris last week – and the downing of a Russian passenger jet in Egypt’s Sinai widely blamed on IS – American and Russian warplanes unleashed a stepped-up wave of strikes on oil infrastructure.

Russia’s bombing blitz this week by warplanes and cruise missiles from navy ships destroyed 15 oil refining and storage facilities in Syria and

525 trucks carrying oil, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said Friday. Aerial footage released by the military showed airstrikes hitting a column of oil tankers in the Syrian desert, and sections of a large oil refinery bursting into flames.

On Sunday, U.S. defense officials said warplanes destroyed 116 oil-hauling trucks in eastern Syria, the biggest strikes on the oil trade since the U.S.-led air campaign began more than a year and a half ago. Attack planes and gunships pounded the trucks as they clustered near an oil facility in Abu Kamal, a town close to the Iraqi border. On Nov. 9, a French airstrike hit an oil supply center in the eastern Syrian province of Deir el-Zour.

The U.S.-led coalition has targeted oil infrastructure occasionally in the past, including a heavy attack last month on Syria’s Omar field near the town of Deir el-Zour that hit refineries, command and control centers and transportation nodes.

NEW YORK – Jonathan Pollard was released from prison Friday after 30 years behind bars for spying for Israel, and his lawyers immediately went to court to challenge tough parole conditions seemingly designed to ensure he doesn’t spill any U.S. military secrets he might have left.

The 61-year-old former Navy intelligence analyst was set free in the middle of the night from a medium-security federal prison in Butner, North Carolina, after being paroled from a life sentence that had turned him into a continual source of tension between the U.S. and Israel.

Under the rules of his release, he must wear a GPS unit to transmit his whereabouts at all times, allow the installation of monitoring

equipment on any computers he uses at work or at home, and agree to periodic, unannounced inspections of those machines.

“The notion that, having fought for and finally obtained his release after serving 30 years in prison, Mr. Pollard will now disclose stale, 30-year-old information to anyone is preposterous,” his lawyers, Eliot Lauer and Jacques Semmelman, said in a statement.

Hours after his release, Pollard checked in with probation officers at a federal courthouse in New York, then emerged into a throng of journalists. He wore a yarmulke.

“I can’t comment on anything today,” he said, his wife, Esther, on his arm.

Despite parole requirements that he not leave the U.S. without government permission for the next five

years, Pollard has expressed a desire to renounce his American citizenship and move to Israel, where he is seen by some as a national hero. The White House has come out against the request.

U.S. intelligence officials have long argued that Pollard, who pleaded guilty in 1986 to conspiracy to commit espionage, did severe damage to the United States during the Cold War by giving away an enormous volume of military intelligence secrets that some suspect wound up in Soviet hands.

His defenders have contended that his punishment was overly harsh for helping a close U.S. ally.

The prosecutor who handled the case, former U.S. Attorney Joseph diGenova, said it is legitimate for the government to be concerned that Pollard might still have secrets to tell.

SKETCH VIEW

OUR VIEW: THUMBS-UP, THUMBS-DOWN

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Thumbs-up: To the volunteers, donors and Salvation Army Capts. Keith and Michelle Graham for distributing free turkey dinner supplies to 700 local families this week.

Area residents, first responders, community organizations and others made this possible by donating turkeys, cash or both to the Salvation Army food pantry on Grove Street in DeKalb in the “Let’s Talk Turkey” event hosted by local radio station WLBK on Nov. 13.

Those who accepted the donated food had to show that they lived in the area, to ensure that local donations stayed local. The community’s charity and generosity will make it possible for hundreds more people going through a difficult time to enjoy Thanksgiving, and that’s fantastic.

Thumbs-up: To the Harlem Globetrotters’ return to Hinckley. The barnstorming basketball squad, now famous for the thousands upon thousands of exhibition basketball games it has played around the world, got its start Jan. 7, 1927 in Hinckley.

Eighty-nine years later, the team will return to the town that still boasts of being the site of the first Globetrotters’ game.

The team said the event is sold out, unfortunately, which strikes us as odd because we only just heard about it.

Thumbs-down: To presidential candidates singling out Muslims. In the past week, Ben Carson and Donald Trump, current front-runners for the Republican nomination for president, have both unleashed some over-the-top statements.

Trump has talked about requiring all Muslims to register as part of a national database, and about closing mosques he said preach hate. Meanwhile, Carson compared handling the question of Syrian refugees to handling a rabid dog.

Singling out any group based on their faith, or closing their places of worship, would be a blatant violation of the First Amendment.

There’s also no call to equate human beings fleeing war to diseased animals. Please, tone down the racist rhetoric, candidates.

Thumbs-up: To the Kishwaukee YMCA for stepping in to take over the Camp Power summer program for children at University Village in DeKalb.

The YMCA has been a partner in the project since the beginning and now plans to run the day-to-day activities at the camp for children ages 5 to 14.

For Y weeks in the summer, Camp Power provides meals and activities for children in the city’s largest low-income neighborhood.

Law enforcement officials said it also has made a difference in their engagement with people in University Village. We’re pleased to see the program with a way forward and hope that an expansion to other neighborhoods in the city might be possible in the future – because University Village is not the only place where people are in need of services.

versity operating. They provide a cohesive experience for students and have a huge impact on recruitment and retention. Without adequate pay and benefits, and with so much fiscal uncertainty, employees can no longer afford to work at state universities. Staff turnover costs money and puts undue burden on employees who remain which causes services offered to students to suffer.

Public universities, by mandate, are funded by the state, by revenue generated by those who are not only taxpayers in Illinois, but students, parents of students, and university employees. If a university is unable to provide a cohesive, high-quality experience because of financial stress, students will leave that institution. And as Illinois is the second

highest exporter of students in the nation, they will likely leave the state. This is a loss of eventual taxpayers, critical thinkers, problem solvers, and workers.

Northern Illinois University is in the process of streamlining operations and working toward performing at the height of fiscal responsibility. We ask that legislators support us in this effort by passing a fiscal year 2016 state budget and minimizing reductions in higher education appropriations.

We appreciate all who advocate for higher education. It benefits everyone, and is worth fighting for.

A clearer sense of priorities would help.

Caution is good. If the Iraq fiasco Degrading ISIS should be the main goal.

By CLIVE CROOK Bloomberg View

Bashar al-Assad is evil, but he doesn’t directly threaten the West. The goal of forcing his removal shouldn’t be allowed to prevent the emergence of a stronger anti-ISIS coalition. Rather than scheduling his certain departure, it would be enough, for now, to curb his atrocities against his own people – violence which is appalling in itself but which also sends new recruits to ISIS. When it comes to defenses at home, Europe has problems all its own in gathering and pooling intelligence, and in tracking the movement of people across its open internal borders. It also has many more angry and alienated Muslims than the U.S. does. Whether the Schengen free-movement zone can survive remains to be seen – but for that to happen, Europe will need to get much better at securing its external border, processing refugees, and cooperating on policing and security.

Finally, in addressing their Muslim citizens, the U.S. and the EU have the extraordinarily delicate task of selectively hardening and softening their approach.

Acting in support of ISIS, including traveling to join its ranks or making plans to do so, should be prosecuted as serious crimes, akin to treason. At the same time, a vigorous counter-propaganda effort is needed to assure the vast majority of Muslims at home and abroad that ISIS, dedicated to recasting one of the world’s great religions as a sadistic death-cult, does not diminish their standing in Western eyes.

Whatever happens, there’ll be no outright victories in this fight, and doubtless many more casualties to come. The U.S. and its friends can’t eliminate the danger, but they can do more than they have so far to contain it.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

spell end of Obamacare UnitedHealth Group, the country’s largest health insurer, said it might stop selling plans on state insurance exchanges, citing higher-than-expected costs.

This news would be mostly unremarkable except for the fact that those state exchanges are part of Obamacare, and it doesn’t take much to get people hyperventilating about the imminent death of Obamacare and speculating about its ramifications for the 2016 presidential campaign. Sorry to disappoint, but United Health’s decision – which is tentative – doesn’t mean much. The company covers less than 6 percent of the exchange population; if it does pull out, those people will be able to get other coverage.

The only way this would matter to the future of the exchanges would be if other insurers were to follow UnitedHealth’s lead. While that’s possible, it’s unlikely, because the three biggest players – Aetna, Anthem and Humana – depend on the exchanges for more of their business, according to data from Bloomberg Intelligence, and have so far shown no signs that they want out.

UnitedHealth, by contrast, has always been lukewarm about the exchanges. The company stayed out in 2014, the first year they were in operation, and this year it offered plans in fewer than half the states.

None of this is to say that there aren’t improvements the government could make to help insurers navigate the exchanges. Congress anticipated that, in the early years, insurers would struggle to anticipate their medical costs, and that as a result they would set premiums too low and thus lose money – exactly the problem that UnitedHealth is now reporting. That’s why the law established a series of buffers against losses, which Congress could extend or expand.

The government also could require that most people buy coverage only during the regular open-enrollment period. UnitedHealth said those who get insurance outside of that period tend to use more services, increasing its costs.

Finally, the government can and should do much more to encourage the young and healthy to get insurance. It’s not as if they don’t need it – accidents and illness don’t discriminate on the basis of age. More young and healthy customers would make the risk pool more attractive to insurers.

The exchanges face some real challenges. UnitedHealth’s announcement doesn’t make failure any more likely. It just reinforces something that should already have been obvious: Obamacare still needs some work.

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

Documents show big business of fantasy sports

ALBANY, N.Y. – Documents filed at the court examining the legality of daily fantasy sports in New York show a rapidly growing national business built on billions in entry fees.

An estimate by DraftKings said the industry will take in up to $4 billion in entry fees in the United States this year, and could reach up to $20 billion in 2017.

Daily fantasy companies like FanDuel and DraftKings generally charge roughly 10 percent of each wager for hosting games.

The insights into the industry are contained within court exhibits as the companies fight New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman (above), who is attempting to halt what he considers illegal gambling under state law. A hearing is scheduled Wednesday in Manhattan before a state judge.

The companies said their games are legal and based on player skill.

New York is just one of several states where the daily fantasy sports industry is facing recent scrutiny. Several states that don’t have specific prohibitions are considering new regulations or laws.

The companies caught the New York attorney general’s attention with their ad blitzes this year around the start of the NFL season.

“The growth in (daily fantasy sports) advertising has been as spectacular as it was sudden,” the attorney general wrote in his motion for an injunction. “Advertising reached a peak in the weeks leading up to the 2015 NFL season, when it became nearly impossible to watch televised sports without encountering a (daily fantasy sports) commercial.”

A spreadsheet collected by investigators shows FanDuel and DraftKings spent $34 million on TV advertising with NBC and Comcast through Oct. 28 this year, compared with $3.2 million in 2014. In another court document, the attorney general said FanDuel has spent more than $75 million this year on all ads, saying it was “paying out over $2 billion dollars this year” and “anybody can play, anybody can succeed.”

DeKALB – The Northern Illinois football team lost another player for the year.

Huskies coach Rod Carey announced Friday that junior nose guard Corey Thomas is done for the season after tearing his ACL in the game Wednesday against Western Michigan.

The Northern Illinois volleyball team will face Miami (Ohio) in the semifinal game of the Mid-American Conference tournament at 4:30 p.m. today at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio.

Huskies square off against Miami in semifinal

By JESSE SEVERSON jseverson@shawmedia.com DeKALB – The Northern Illinois volleyball team has handled its business in the final six weeks of the season.

The Huskies won their final seven matches and 12 of their past 13 to win the Mid-American Conference regular-season title and earn the top seed in the conference tournament.

Now they’re two wins away from advancing to the 64-team NCAA tournament for the first time since 2011 – starting with a match against No. 4 Miami at 4:30 p.m. today in a semifinal of the MAC Tournament at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio.

“I feel like we’re doing these things, we’re trying these things, we’re recovering from these things and by doing that, we’re getting those results,” NIU coach Ray Gooden said.

By winning the MAC championship in the regular season, the Huskies (18-10 overall,

14-2 MAC West) earned a bye in the first two rounds of the conference tournament – advancing straight to the semifinals.

However, it was the same scenario the Huskies faced last year as the No. 2 seed only to fall to Miami in five sets.

“It’d definitely be nice to knock them out and pay tribute to the seniors from last season,” said junior outside hitter T’ara Austin, who was named the conference’s player of the year earlier this week. “If we play Miami, it’ll be a showdown.”

The RedHawks (21-9 overall, 12-4 in MAC East) advanced to the semifinal after knocking out Western Michigan in a four-set victory.

“For some teams, there’s a lot more at stake, so the risk is a little higher when you’re facing eliminating,” said Huskies senior setter Alexis Gonzalez, who is third in the MAC in

DeKALB – Three games, three wins for the Northern Illinois men’s basketball team.

After sweeping each game in the NIU Showcase to open the schedule, the Huskies host Eureka at 1 p.m. today at the NIU Convocation Center with a chance to put together the best start of the season since 199495.

“There’s always room for improvement, always room to get better,” said junior guard Michael Orris, who is averaging 4.5 points and two asNext sists in two games this vs Eureka, 1 p.m. season. “I Saturday, AM-1360, know none 98.9-FM of us are satisfied, but first three games, we go 3-0. What more can you ask for, right?”

It’s the first time the Huskies (3-0 overall) have won the opening three games of the season since 2006-07. With a win over Eureka, a Division III school that is 1-3 on the year, and the Huskies will have the best start since they won their first nine games in 1994-95.

“It’s a great start. Everybody is getting minutes and getting valuable playing time,” NIU coach Mark Montgomery said.

“The defense has been good at times, the defense has been bad at times – and the same can be said about the offense. With so many new pieces, you like how we’re sharing the ball, getting offensive rebounding and we’re shooting a pretty good percentage.”

The Huskies are shooting 45.2 percent from the field and have outrebounded teams 39.3 to 29 per game.

They’ve also had more success in the second half of games so far. After being outscored 113-105 in the first half, they’ve responded by beating their opponents 115-82 in the final half.

DENVER AT BEARS, NOON SUNDAY, CBS, AM-780

Win makes Bears credible There is no doubt the Bears are one of the most improved teams in the NFL. At 4-5 and now getting close to the “softer” part of their schedule, the buzz they’re generating is more than justified.

However, one thing missing from their resume and even greater credibility is a win over a team with a winning record. That opportunity awaits them this Sunday with the Denver Broncos in town.

At 7-2 Denver is more than legit and they haven’t gotten here eating cupcakes.

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush Denver already has wins over Detroit, the 6-3 Packers and the 7-2 Vikings and of course all three of those clubs are NFC North neighbors who’ve already beaten the Bears. This game being a pick ’em in Vegas is a testament to that Bears buzz going around right now, but it also screams extenuating circumstances

that are knocking that line out of whack.

Those circumstances are the injuries driving Peyton Manning to the bench and that Brock Osweiler and his 54 career NFL pass attempts over four seasons will be making his first NFL start.

Is that a good thing for the Bears?

Manning ranks 31st in the NFL, almost dead last among NFL quarterbacks, in quarterback rating.

SPORTS BRIEF Cubs acquire Patton from Rangers

CHICAGO – The Cubs acquired right-handed pitcher Spencer Patton from the Texas Rangers on Friday for minor league infielder Frandy Delarosa.

The 27-year-old Patton went 1-0 with a 0.96 ERA in nine major league relief appearances in 2015 before splitting last season between the Rangers and Triple-A Round Rock.

Patton is 2-1 with a 6.75 ERA in 36 major league relief outings the past two years.

The 19-year-old Delarosa hit .273 with 20 doubles, two triples and 30 RBIs in 62 games for short-season Single-A Eugene last season.

The Cubs’ 40-man roster now stands at 33 players.

Gonzalez named MAC Setter of Year • VOLLEYBALL Continued from page B1 assists a set (10.32) and was named the MAC Setter of the Year. “There’s more riding on each point, each game that you play.

There’s also more risk in a positive way, that you have a chance to get your team a new banner or bring home something that’s bigger than yourself.”

Austin, who was injured in the pregame before last year’s semifinal against the RedHawks, has won the MAC West Offensive Player of the Year four times this season, becoming the fourth player in program history to win the award that many occasions.

She leads the the conference in kills a set (4.28) and points a set (4.69).

In the conferenceclinching sweep over Bowling Green, Austin finished with a team-high 13 kills.

“When we won that last point and it determined we were MAC champs, it felt like just another win,” Austin said. “Winning all these games, it’s just NIU volleyball. It’s hard work paying off.”

Gooden talked about the finality of the MAC tournament – that any loss would be the team’s final match of the season – and who can handle that situation better usually has the edge.

Even with the Huskies 28 matches into the season, Gooden said he’s still tinkering with things, wanting them to be a little faster on offense and working on their blocking.

“We just need to be a little better. That’s what’s gotten us to this point,” Gooden said. “We have to respect everybody enough to know that they’re going to give us their best and we have to do the same.”

“Albert’s played a lot of football around here, maybe not so much in the starting role as last year, but he has certainly prepared like he’s been a starter all year and stayed ready,” said Carey, who said he was the primary cornerback against Western Michigan star receiver Corey Davis.

“He really took the challenge.”

On the season, Smalls has 25 tackles and nine pass breakups in 11 games. He started the first six games of the 2014 season a a true freshman.

and left tackle Aidan Conlon, who will make their 54th start for NIU, tying former offensive lineman Trevor Olson for the most starts in program history.

“I don’t want to talk about Aidan and Andrew a whole lot, I’ll get emotional on that and I’m not ready for that, we got a little more time before I have to go down that path,” Carey said. “But senior night is always a super emotional night every year I’ve been here and this year is no different – it might even be a little more because these guys we’ve been with for five years. It’s going to hard knowing you’re going to strapping that thing on at Huskie Stadium for the last time, I think back to when I did it when I was playing and that’s a hard moment. These guys understand it only becomes a special memory if you go out and take care of business.”

Tuesday’s game against Ohio will be senior night for the Huskies, with 13 seniors being honored before the game.

The 13 seniors are the ninth fewest in the nation, but the group has a record of 43-10 over the past four seasons.

The game against the Bobcats will be an historic moment for two senior offensive linemen – center Andrew Ness

Ohio (7-4 overall, 4-3 in MAC East) has outscored its opponents, 303-277, on the season and that’s because of the Bobcats’ impressive performance in the first quarter.

Through 11 games, the Bobcats have held their opponents to just 37 points in the opening quarter, compared to the 91 points they’ve scored on offense.

Senior night for Huskies:

Bobcats tough in first quarter:

• BASKETBALL Continued from page B1 Despite trailing 34-28 to South Dakota in the second game, they rallied for a 7265 victory. On the following night, they were down 39-31 to Wright State before outscoring the Raiders, 34-20, in the second half.

“I like the energy, I like the effort of the freshmen, I like how we control the second half,” said sophomore center Marin Maric, who is averaging nine points and eight rebounds per game. “We get stops and get easy buckets and get into our flow.”

A strong component for the Huskies’ offense in the early part of the season has been the balance of scoring. Each of the three games had a different leading scorer on the night.

Against Cal State Northridge, freshman Marshawn Wilson had 16 points, in the win over South Dakota senior Chuks Iroegbu had a team-high 16 and against Wright State, junior Aaric Armstead had the best game of the season with 18.

“That means everybody’s touching the ball and everybody’s getting different looks,” Orris said. “I think that’s how it’s going to be a

lot of the times this year. We have the guys who are going to score consistently, but we have the talent to have somebody go off and be the leading scorer.”

Currently, the Huskies have four players averaging at least nine points a game – with Wilson’s 12.3 leading the way – followed by four more players averaging between six and 7.7 points.

“I don’t really care who leads us in scoring,” Montgomery said. “We have capable scorers. Armstead, Baker, Marin Maric, you think your upper-classmen would lead you in scoring, but we have some talented freshmen. This team doesn’t care who scores, they just want to win.”

Despite the early start, Montgomery said the team hasn’t had a problem with the wins inflating their egos – even with four freshmen averaging between 14.7 and 21 minutes a game.

“We’d rather start out 3-0 than 0-3, we’ve been there,” said Montgomery, whose Huskies started 0-11 in the 2011-12 campaign. “Our season isn’t made in the first three games, and our guys understand that.

We show them good and bad in the video room. They’re coming in with their hard hat on ready to compete.”

DENVER AT BEARS, NOON SUNDAY, CBS, AM-780

Langford has put crucial drop behind him

By NATE ATKINS natkins@chicagofootball.com LAKE FOREST – Jeremy Langford hears the Chicago weekend forecast and cracks a smile.

Low-30s. Three to five inches of snow.

That’s running weather, especially for a team that ranks fourth in the NFL in rushing attempts a game, especially in facing a Broncos team with the league’s No. 1 defense and a first-time starting quarterback in Brock Osweiler.

“Just being in the cold, it’s just like at Michigan State. It was cold, so I knew I’d get the carries,” said Langford, who grew up just west of Detroit. “… It actually is kind of fun to play in those games.”

He’s excited, and with reason to be. Matt Forte’s status is again in question, having logged just two limited practices this week because of his knee injury. A fourth-round rookie, Langford has proved worthy in the meantime, turning 48 total touches into 324

yards and three touchdowns in two Bears wins.

He’s thankful for those opportunities, given what happened when Forte first went down in the Minnesota game. The Bears faced a third-and-5 late in a tie game, and Langford had the chance to reel in a Jay Cutler pass for a first down but saw the ball slip through his hands.

In the locker room after the 23-20 loss, Langford was most hurt because he believed catching the ball was his best attribute. After all, he spent his first two years of college as a receiver.

Langford vowed to bounce back, and the next week, he buried the image of him dropping a football with a diving 31-yard catch. He finished with three receptions for 70 yards in that win in San Diego. Then against the Rams, he posted game-highs of seven grabs, 109 yards and a touchdown on an 83-yard screen play that kickstarted a 37-13 romp.

“All the time, I knew after the drop that if they throw the ball to me 100 times, I’ll catch it

99 times,” Langford said.

Through Forte’s injury and the belief of those around him, he’s gotten to prove that. After the drop, Cutler talked to him on the sideline about how it didn’t lose the game, and Fox took a stand for the rookie the next week, adamant that he’d prove he could not only be a capable receiver but a really good one.

With additional chances, Langford has delievered, so much so that Forte wondered aloud Thursday whether the Bears were starting to forget about him. The long-term payoff remains to be seen, but Langford’s current reward is this Sunday, a snowy game likely to be defensive, a chance to run the ball but also to be so much more.

“I knew that the coaching staff that would be here would run the ball in general,” he said. “... Nowadays as a running back, you’ve gotta be able AP photo to do everything – run routes, catch the ball, block – to be an Bears running back Jeremy Langford (33) is congratulated by Matt every-down back. That’s what I Slauson after scoring on a 6-yard run during the fourth quarter Sunday want to be.” against the St. Louis Rams in St. Louis.

BEARS NOTES

Increased offensive speed pays off

By ARTHUR ARKUSH aarkush@chicagofootball.com LAKE FOREST – His first draft pick and the fastest of the bunch has yet to play a down for the Bears, but GM Ryan Pace’s offseason directive of improving team speed offensively is starting to pay off.

What better evidence than Week 10 in St. Louis, where Jay Cutler became the first Bears passer in franchise history to throw two 80-plus yard scores, then admitted he barely did anything, as Jeremy Langford and Zach Miller simply outran a fast Rams defense after short catches.

Core special teamer and another burner, Josh Bellamy, has taken notice of the change brought on by Pace.

“We got a lot of guys with speed on our team,” said Bellamy. “It’s changed from last year.”

As Bellamy explained, defenses, unafraid of getting beat over the top a season ago, can no longer sit in zone all day.

Jay Cutler is more patient, and the entire offense is more potent.

“Speed forces defenses to change it up,” he said. “Everybody is scared of speed. When you have it, they can’t just play one coverage. They have to play different coverages to try and contain.”

With Langford, Pace’s fourth-rounder, and Miller, a holdover re-signed by the new regime, getting their most action in the past two games, the Bears have averaged 6.3 and 6.4 yards a play, respectively, the two best totals of the season and up nearly a full yard from 2014.

Odds and ends: Matt Slauson, before saying he didn’t take any center reps this week, paving the road for Hroniss Grasu to return from a three-game absence, on the Packers-Vikings tilt Sunday: “Where are they playing? I don’t know if I can really predict because Green Bay is so good – they’ve got so much firepower; Aaron’s a beast – but Minnesota, man, they’re looking really good. I’m excited to see that game.”

DENVER BRONCOS

Move over, Manning

Is No. 18’s 18th NFL season coming to a premature end?

By ARNIE STAPLETON The Associated Press ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – What if this is it for Peyton Manning? While many of his teammates won’t dare consider the notion, at least one prominent member of the Denver Broncos has considered the possibility that No. 18’s 18th NFL season could come to a premature end.

“I’m not going to lie, I’ve pondered it a little bit,” leading tackler Brandon Marshall said. “But I try not to think about it too much because I know we’ve got a job to do, I know we’ve got a season to finish and he’s one of the greatest of all-time, man. And I just hate to see him hurt.”

Manning’s streak of 57 consecutive starts for Denver, a franchise record, will come to an end Sunday in Chicago because of injuries and ineffectiveness. Backup Brock Osweiler gets his first NFL start, which comes on his 25th birthday.

Manning’s game-by-game stats Date Opp 9/13 Ravens 9/17 Chiefs 9/27 Lions 10/4 Vikings 10/11 Raiders 10/18 Browns 11/1 Packers 11/8 Colts 11/15 Chiefs Totals

Coach Gary Kubiak excused Manning from practice and meetings this week so he could focus on his rehab on his left foot, right shoulder and ribs. He’s also leaving Manning back in Denver so the five-time MVP can continue his treatment through the weekend alongside star pass-rusher DeMarcus Ware (back) rather than having to stand in the cold at Soldier Field.

Rat 59.9 86.9 101.7 68.9 62.3 53.3 96.9 78.6 0.0 67.6

Manning had the worst game of his career last weekend on the same day he became the league’s all-time passing yards leader in Denver’s 29-13 loss to Kansas City.

He now has 71,871 yards to Brett Favre’s 71,838, but he’s still tied with Favre for most regular-season wins by a QB with 186.

Nobody knows for certain if he’ll get a shot at No. 187.

While Kubiak has refused to look beyond Sunday, there’s a distinct possibility Manning could be sidelined for a while given his many ailments at age 39. Osweiler’s superior mobility, athleticism, arm strength and accuracy might also give the Broncos (7-2) the boost they’ve been searching for on offense all season.

Osweiler insists this is still Manning’s team and he’s only filling in temporarily, which seems to be the prevailing mood in the locker room.

Manning has had a difficult season. After taking a $4 million pay cut over the winter, he’s thrown for just nine touchdowns with an NFLhigh 17 interceptions. In his first three years in Denver, he totaled 136 TD throws and just 36 interceptions.

His career-low 67.6 passer rating is even lower than Tim Tebow’s 72.9 in 2011 that forced GM John Elway to go after Manning in free agency.

FANTASY TIP Healthy quarterback could lead to opportunities downfield, meaning this could be good week to have Broncos WRs Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders.

– The Associated Press

Manning has thrown 17 interceptions this season; Cutler has thrown just five • ARKUSH Continued from page B1 The future Hall Of Famer’s biggest problem this season has been the 17 interceptions he’s thrown, by far the most in the NFL and five more than the 12 thrown by Andrew Luck and Matthew Stafford to rank them 30th.

In spite of those 17 picks, the Broncos are just minus 2 for the season in turnover/takeaway ratio on the strength of 17 takeaways from their defense.

The irony here is that if Osweiler does nothing but take care of the football, the Broncos may be a better team with Manning on the bench.

And it doesn’t stop there.

The key to the Bears recent success and most likely the only thing standing between them and 2-7 or worse has been the play of Jay Cutler.

Cutler, annually one of the league leaders in most interceptions, has thrown just five picks all season, yet the Bears are just one spot ahead of the Broncos in turnover/takeaway

ratio at minus 1 because they’ve managed just 11 takeaways including only five interceptions.

Osweiler doesn’t have to win the game for Denver; he just needs to not be the reason they lose.

Cutler has to win this game for the Bears, and the Denver defense will be easily his stiffest test of the year.

While the Bears “D” is not in the same league with Denver’s, it doesn’t line up against the Denver “D” and this is where the Bears could gain an edge.

Under John Fox and Adam Gase

the past two seasons the Broncos were 15th in the league rushing the ball each year behind Knowshon Moreno, C.J. Anderson and Ronnie Hillman.

Manning led the way through the air but the ground game let him do it.

This year Denver is 29th in the league and struggling to run the football.

Hillman and Anderson have just 750 yards rushing between them through nine games, but 307 of those yards have come against Minnesota (146) and Green Bay (161), the two

games that scare me the most when I look at this one.

If the Bears can shut down the Bronco running game and force Osweiler to try to beat them through the air, they can win this game.

If the Broncos are successful on the ground and their defense forces a couple of turnovers, the Bears’ bandwagon will blow a tire.

Low-commitment decorating with throws and blankets

By LISA A. FLAM The Associated Press

I

f you’re not up for big projects like repainting the walls or adding insulation to the attic this fall, consider stocking up on throw blankets for an easy, low-commitment way to change the look of your rooms – and keep cozy.

Whether turned out in luxurious cashmere or a soft synthetic, a throw is a snuggly alternative to zipping up another sweatshirt or cranking up the thermostat when the temperature dips.

“People just love that soft, extra-cozy feeling to wrap up in them,” said Jami Supsic, style director for Country Living magazine. “Nothing would be better on a winter night than having a chunky throw to wrap up in while reading or watching TV.” Available in a huge selection of colors, patterns and materials, including flannel, wool and faux fur, the throw is a versatile accessory that can help create a new look, add interest and warmth to a room and tie the colors of a room together.

“They bring so much to the composition in a room without being the focal point,” Supsic said.

Throws can add whatever is missing from a space: a splash of color, a bit of texture, a rich pattern. Conversely, a neutral throw, think khaki or ivory, will help tone down or minimize a statement piece or print that is dominating the space, Supsic said.

“If something’s not right or bright enough, you could add a throw to the foot of the bed and it will give it that pop of color or pattern you need without necessarily taking over,” she said.

The right throw can highlight a standout element or color in the room, like a painting behind the bed or an accent color in the living room, said interior designer Hillary Cohen, of hCO Interiors in Jersey City, New Jersey.

“It’s not going to be the star of the room,” she said. “It can make whatever the star in the room is pop.”

WHERE DO YOU THROW THEM?

Throws are commonly draped over the arms and backs of chairs and couches, and put on ottomans and across beds.

Don’t forget spare bedrooms (who wants chilly houseguests?), window seats and perhaps out on the porch swing.

They can be folded or tossed. For a relaxed look, Cohen rumples a folded blanket a bit “so it doesn’t look like it’s too perfect.”

The blankets also can become art.

Display a stack on a shelf or hang a favorite on the wall, Supsic said.

WHICH ONES TO CHOOSE?

Experts suggest throws in autumn shades such as burnt orange, mustardy yellow, brown, navy or bold royal blue, deep olive or pine green, gray and burgundy.

Chunky knit and sheepskin throws are popular, along with throws with pompoms, buffalo check, plaid and pinwheel quilt patterns, Supsic said.

You can mix and match patterns, but

pay attention to scale and shape.

“If you have a small check on the sofa, maybe get a bigger plaid to contrast that, or a stripe to complement the plaid,” Supsic said.

Avoid patterns that almost match but don’t: If you have a circle pattern on the couch, don’t choose a throw with a scallop design, said Tenecia Harris of sweet t design studio in New York. Try

stripes instead.

If monochromatic is your thing, choose a throw that stands out for its texture. For a cotton twill sofa, Supsic suggested a chunky chenille throw. Cohen likes a light-colored, faux fur throw atop a beige wool couch.

If your furniture is floral, Harris recommended going geometric, with squares and diamonds. For an ikat print, Cohen suggested a solid or a small-scale herringbone pattern.

Throws that look and feel great come in all prices.

“You definitely don’t have to spend $1,000 to get the style,” Supsic said. But if you want to, “That’s a nice splurge.”

FAMILY TIME | 4-step plan to make your day more efficient Tip of the week

Remember free time? You used to have so much of it. But these days, work and family obligations have you running around constantly and you don’t know what to do first. You don’t even have time to do everything you have to do, let alone what you want to do.

So how do you take back your day?

How do you find the time to get things done and bring back some semblance of order?

It is possible if you focus on making yourself more efficient. To help you accomplish all of your goals and find some free time as well, here are four ways you can improve your efficiency every single day.

• Make a plan. When you’re running through your list of daily obligations in the morning, it’s easy to forget a thing or two, especially if you have children running around, phones ringing or dogs barking to distract you. Instead, plan out the upcoming day the night before.

Make a list of everything you have to do and check these items against one another. Can two trips be combined?

Are you prioritizing the most important

things first? The better you can plan out your schedule, the more organized you’ll be the next day.

to do it all and maybe you don’t have to. Sit down and make a list of every social or professional group and obligation you belong to.

Once you’ve made the list, look at it and ask yourself honestly how important this obligation is to you or your family. If you find the obligation is not essential, you’re better off to abandon it and save your time for the responsibilities that are more important to you.

• Limit multitasking. Many people look to multitasking as an efficiency solution, but doing several things at once means it takes longer to accomplish any one task. And when the first task is completed, the result is often poorer because of it. Instead of trying

to do several things at once, focus on the most important thing, accomplish it and move on.

With today’s hectic schedules, finding the opportunity to do everything you’re supposed to do may seem impossible.

However, if you apply the four tips listed above, you’ll improve your efficiency, stay up on the latest news and maybe even discover that elusive free time you sorely deserve.

Troop 16 experiences Boundary Waters Boy Scout Troop 16, chartered at Federated Church in Sycamore, sent a nine-person crew on a High Adventure Boundary Waters trip this summer. Canoeing, fishing, using various scout skills such as cooking, camping, useful knots, incorporating Leave No Trace principles/ guidelines, and enjoying the beautiful water in Minnesota were all part of this once-ina-lifetime ultimate scouting experience.

This group traveled to Ely, Minnesota, entering the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness on the Little Sioux River for an eight-day trek experiencing the beauty and scenic landscape of the area. These adventurists include scouts Dustin Slider, Matt Slider, Bradley Ruetten, David Ruetten, Paul Ruetten, Collin Moon, Cole Moon and adult leader Mitch Moon and

Scoutmaster Tim Ruetten.

This group paddled more than 18 miles, camped in three different sites, including Loon Lake, Lynx Lake and the Upper Pauness Lake. They enjoyed excellent fishing, preparing and using their cooking merit badge skills to

cook the fish they caught for dinner. A few portages were long and exhausting (one flooded with swamp water full of leeches) and they experienced a few rain showers, but also enjoyed swimming and climbing on the rocks at Devil’s Cascade and have numer-

ous memories from this high adventure.

High adventure expeditions are one of the most popular activities for scouts age 14 or older. They grow individually and together as a team by using all of their education learned from completing a variety of merit badges, as well as challenging them both physically and mentally, and are offered a unique and distinct experience that will stay with them for their lifetime.

Troop 16 is a strong troop with more than 45 active scouts. Any boy age 11 through 18 is invited to join; no past scouting experience or background is required.

Troop 16 meets most Sunday evenings from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Federated Church in Sycamore. For more information about Troop 16, call Scoutmaster Tim Ruetten at 815-895-4940.

Matthew West earns Eagle award Matthew West, a member of Boy Scout Troop 33 chartered at First Lutheran Church in DeKalb, recently was awarded the Eagle rank, the highest award achievable in the Boy Scouts of America.

He is the son of Larry and Debbie West of Malta.

West first began Scouting with Cub Pack 123 in Malta where he earned the Arrow of Light Award, the highest award in Cub Scouting. He crossed over into Troop 33 in 2008 and has enjoyed several years of exciting year-round outdoor adventure. He earned 28 merit badges in pursuit of the Eagle award.

West attended several weeklong summer camps at Camp Lowden near Oregon, Illinois. He exhibited excellent leadership skills while helping younger Scouts at camping activities. He was elected into the Order of the Arrow, Scouting’s National Honor Society.

One of his favorite trips featured backpacking at the Black River State Forest in Wisconsin where he enjoyed hiking with a full pack on

Boy Scout Troop 2810, based out of Salem Lutheran Church in Sycamore, recently sent a group of 10 boys to the Sandwich Fairgrounds for the Boy Scouts of America/Three Fires Council Jamboree 2015.

The boys moved from activity to activity at their leisure, depending on the activity zone that interested them. Favorite zones were the Patriot Zone in which military veterans and re-enactors taught boys about several of the wars America has been involved with, the Abilities Awareness Zone in which the boys participated in a wheelchair basketball game, the Adventure Zone in which boys could try their hand at branding and blacksmithing, and the Shooting Sports Zone in which the boys practiced their archery and BB gun skills.

SUDOKU

Man working with wife takes professional attitude too far Dear Abby: My husband and I have a great relationship.

We work in the same school system. He’s an administrator; I am a counselor.

We sometimes go to joint meetings, but when we do, he always acts awkward, like he doesn’t even know me. I understand we have to behave professionally, but not as if we don’t know each other. Recently, we were leaving a meeting and no one was around. I was going to give him a peck on the lips to say goodbye, and he turned away as if he wanted nothing to do with me.

What is the proper etiquette when spouses work together?

– More Than A Co-Worker In Georgia Dear More: Demonstrations

of physical affection are not appropriate in a workplace situation if other people are present.

You say you and your husband have a “great” relationship, so I’m advising you to discuss this with him and tell him how it made you feel.

Because no one was around, there should have been no harm in a simple “peck” goodbye. Personally, I think he owes you an apology. What he did wasn’t nice.

Dear Abby: My calico cat, Rosie, seems to be fixated on my next-door neighbor Ron. Every morning Rosie grooms herself for an hour, then jumps

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips in the window to watch for Ron to go for his morning run.

She sits there until Ron comes out of his house. He exercises a lot and has kept himself in shape, while I admit I have let myself go. As soon as she sees him, Rosie starts purring.

I have to say I resent this.

I provide her with room and board and brush her regularly, but while I’m doing it, she watches the window intently and then bolts to her lookout post if Ron appears. I bought new window treatments, which she scratched her way through, damaging the blinds and shades. Filling her food dish strategically before Ron goes out doesn’t deter her.

I love my cat, but I feel she is being unfaithful. What should I do?

P.S. I’m happily married (my wife thinks I’m crazy) and Rosie has been fixed. – Larry In

Delaware Dear Larry: What a sad situa-

tion. Few things are more painful than feeling rejected by a love object. You didn’t mention how sedentary you are, but it’s possible that Rosie watches Ron because he is a moving

object. Consider joining Ron on his runs and you may find Rosie is watching you, too.

However, if that doesn’t work, you may have to share the affections of your cat.

Dear Abby: My wife and I host many holidays, Thanksgiving, Passover, etc. Invariably, everyone gathers in the family room and several people put their legs up on the ottoman with their shoes on.

It drives me crazy. I view it as no different than walking on someone’s furniture.

My wife thinks I should say something. I actually have done that in the past, but not for years. When I did, it made me look like the bad guy. Is this a weird fetish of mine or am I right? – Paul In Buffalo Grove,

Illinois Dear Paul: If you prefer that

your guests not put their feet on your furniture with their shoes on, speak up and say so.

Doing that doesn’t make you a bad guy or a fetishist. It’s your home, your preference, and it isn’t rude to address something that bothers you, especially since it’s something you have mentioned before.

Dear Abby: I’m 22 and my mom is probably my best friend. She’s from Lebanon and grew up during a time of war.

Her culture taught her to put the needs of others before her own. She has a good job and

earns an excellent salary.

My father is retired. Their marriage is not a good one, and Mom is in sort of a rut. She dresses sloppy and buys only “bargains.” Her hair always is a mess. Every time we go shopping, it’s a fight because I want her to buy the nice clothes she can afford. I want her to be presentable. But she’s stubborn and always makes an excuse for why she “doesn’t need them” or “can’t get them.” How should I handle this situation?

– Caring Daughter In Encino, California Dear Caring Daughter: Where

is the money your mother earns going? Is she saving or investing it? Does she give it to your father? She may present herself the way she does because she’s depressed about her marriage or something else. Before trying again to give your mother an image reboot, talk with her. Tell her you love her, are concerned about her, and ask why she doesn’t take better care of herself. Then listen. Your mother may come from another culture, but she has much to teach you.

Dear Abby: Up to this point in my academic career, I always have been known for being a smart, diligent student.

I graduated from high school with academic accolades and one of the highest GPAs in the graduating class.

However, since starting college this semester, I have become apathetic toward school, as if to say, “I have worked this hard already; why bother working anymore?” Because of this, I’m failing most of my classes – as only a freshman, mind you. Although I recognize my attitude is terrible, I haven’t been able to get rid of it.

I’m confused about where this apathy came from, and I don’t want it to get any worse.

Would you have any ideas as to why I might feel this way, and possible suggestions about how to get myself back on track? –

Unmotivated In Maryland Dear Unmotivated: Not

knowing you and your circumstances, I can’t be sure why you’re feeling the way you do.

That’s why I’m advising you to head for the student counseling center right away, and talk to someone about these feelings of “apathy.” You may be depressed, or need a break from your studies before you can go full speed ahead. The college environment can be overwhelming because it is so different from what you have been used to. But you won’t know what is causing this unless you ask.

Lifestyle changes first step in fighting metabolic syndrome Note to Readers: This column is an update of one that originally appeared in August 2012.

Dear Dr. K: My doctor says I have metabolic syndrome. He said it’s “like diabetes but not diabetes,” which I don’t understand. Can you explain what it is, and how I can fix it?

Dear Reader: Metabolic syndrome is quite common, but not very well known. Many of my patients have it; nearly 50 million Americans have it – and many don’t know it.

Metabolic syndrome is dangerous. If you have it, you have a much higher risk of several major health conditions. Recent studies find your risk of developing diabetes is four to five times higher. I

ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff guess that’s what your doctor meant when he said it was “like diabetes but not diabetes.” Your risk of stroke or a heart attack is about double.

Your risk of dying prematurely is 30 to 60 percent higher.

Most important, you can cure it with changes in your lifestyle before you develop health problems.

You have metabolic syndrome if you have three or more of the following: • High blood pressure (hypertension).

• Excess belly fat. This is measured as a waist size of 40

inches or more for men or 35 inches or more for women.

• High triglycerides. This blood fat often is checked when you have a blood test for cholesterol.

• Low levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL). This is often called “good cholesterol.”

• High fasting blood sugar.

By the way, if you just determined you have only one or two, but not three, of these factors, don’t feel entirely relieved. You’re still at higher risk of heart attack and stroke than people without any of these risk factors.

Fortunately, you can take many steps to prevent or avoid metabolic syndrome: • Maintain a healthy body weight.

• Get regular exercise.

• Choose a healthy diet. It should be low in salt, in saturated and trans fats, and in highly processed foods such as white bread and sugary sodas.

It should be high in omega-3 fats (as found in salmon and tuna, for example), in whole grains and fiber, and in vegetables and fruit.

• Drink only moderate amounts of alcohol (one drink per day for women, one to two for men).

• Don’t smoke.

Talk to your doctor about whether you need medicines to lower blood pressure or triglycerides if they are high, and to raise HDL if it is low and is not raised just by exercising.

Also talk to your doctor about whether you need medicines to lower blood sugar if

you have diabetes or “pre-diabetes.” People with this condition have blood sugar that is above normal but not at diabetic levels.

Metabolic syndrome is a condition that doesn’t always cause symptoms but does put your health at risk. This is especially true if you have other risk factors for heart disease, such as smoking or having other close relatives with heart disease.

If you have metabolic syndrome, you may be able to eliminate it completely without medicines – just with changes in diet and exercise.
