D-427 approves $26.8M tax levy Resolution passed unanimously after forecast of reduction in state aid

By KATIE SMITH ksmith@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – Sycamore School District 427 unanimously approved a $26.8 million tax-levy resolution at its meeting Tuesday.

The levy means taxpayers with a home that has an equalized assessed value of $200,000 could see an increase of about $46 during the course

of the year.

A majority of the levy – $16.5 million – will be used to fund educational operations within the school district, and about $2.9 million will be levied as a special tax for operations and maintenance.

The district is expected to receive about 18 percent of its funding through general state aid, but a slow rise in EAV growth could mean less

state aid in the future, Forecast5 Analytics Senior Financial Consultant, Greg Kubitz said.

Kubitz, who presented the district’s five-year projection, estimated seeing a decrease in state aid in 2017.

“Going forward, because our EAV assumptions are flat – just slightly growing – you’re starting to see your state aid stay relatively flat

Chicago police officer charged with murder

and then tick down toward the end.”

The decrease in aid would mean an increase in property taxes. However, the threat of a two-year property tax freeze has board members concerned, board President Jim Dombek said.

“The thing that’s most disconcerting is, if we see this property tax freeze come about (as seems to be the cur-

rent fashion) that would impact our district, as you saw from our charts, immensely,” Dombek said. “It would put us behind by millions of dollars – not just a little bit of money, but millions.”

The tax increase in the district’s newly adopted levy isn’t likely to help in the long term, should the area experience a property tax freeze, he said.

“We are in a tax-cap district, so we can only go so far, but we’ll try to capture all of the revenue that we possibly can.

We’re trying to be reasonable with this, too. We don’t want to burden the taxpayers, necessarily, but there’s really no place else to look,” Dombek said. “As the state reduces its funding, the state effectively shifts the tax burden from the government onto the property owners.”

Video of teen’s shooting death released to public

By DON BABWIN and JASON KEYSER The Associated Press CHICAGO – A white Chicago police officer who shot a black teenager 16 times last year was charged with first-degree murder Tuesday, hours before the city released a video of the killing that many people fear could spark unrest.

City officials and community leaders have been bracing for the release of the dash-cam video, fearing the kind of turmoil that occurred in cities such as Baltimore and Ferguson, Missouri, after young black men were slain by police or died in police custody.

A judge ordered that the recording be made public by Wednesday. Moments before it was released, the mayor and the police chief appealed for calm.

“People have a right to be angry. People have a right to protest. People have a right to free speech. But they do not have a right to ... criminal acts,” Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said.

The relevant portion of the video runs for less than 40 seconds and has no audio.

Laquan McDonald, 17, swings into view on a four-lane street where police vehicles are stopped in the middle of the roadway. As he jogs down an empty lane, he appears to pull up his pants and then slows to a brisk walk, veering away from two officers who are emerging from a vehicle and drawing their guns.

Almost immediately, one of the officers appears to fire from close range. McDonald spins around and crumples to the pavement.

The car with the camera continues to roll forward until the officers are out of the frame. Then McDonald can be seen lying on the ground, moving occasionally. At least two small puffs of smoke are seen coming off his body as the officer continues firing.

In the final moments, an officer kicks something out of McDonald’s hands.

Needing some help Huskies lose to Ohio, are now forced to wait for their MAC fate

By EDDIE CARIFIO ecarifio@shawmedia.com

DeKALB – Their destiny was in their own hands, and the Huskies couldn’t capitalize.

Now the players and coaches of the Northern Illinois football team needs Western Michigan to do them a favor.

The Huskies lost, 26-21, to Ohio on Tuesday, their first loss in November since 2009.

NIU (8-4 overall, 6-2 Mid-American Conference) entered the game needing a win against the Bobcats (8-4, 5-3) to guarantee a spot in its sixth straight MAC Championship game.

Instead, the Huskies will need Western Michigan to beat Toledo on Friday to advance on a tiebreaker.

If Toledo wins, it will head to Detroit to take on Bowling Green for the title Dec. 4 at Ford Field in Detroit.

Holiday travelers are seen Tuesday at Los Angeles International Airport. An estimated 46.9 million Americans are expected to take a car, plane, bus or train at least 50 miles from home over the long holiday weekend, according to the motoring organization AAA. Although there have been no changes to the nation’s terror alert status, the recent attacks in Paris, West Africa and elsewhere prompted the State Department to warn American travelers about the risks overseas.

On Tuesday, the head of the Transportation Security Administration, Peter Neffenger, boasted the U.S. has the world’s best aviation security and assured the public that TSA is “taking every measure to protect the millions of air travelers in the coming weeks.”

At the Phoenix airport, Teri Robert said the notion of flying from Arizona to West Virginia to see family gave her pause, but in the end she decided she had to go.

“I’m not going to let the terror alerts and things stop me, because then they win,” she said.

Airfares have increased only 69 cents on average since last year, according to the Airlines Reporting Corp., which processes ticket transactions for airlines and travel agencies.

U.S. revises stance on self-driving cars Gov’t updating policy to speed up production and sale of vehicles The ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES – Federal transportation officials are rethinking their position on self-driving cars with an eye toward getting the emerging technology into the public’s hands.

Just two years ago, the U.S. Department of Transportation struck a cautious tone. Its official policy statement, published in May 2013, said cars should be limited to testing and not “authorized for use by members of the public for general driving purposes.”

With the technology’s rapid development, that federal policy is being updated, Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx said Tuesday.

“I want the posture of our agency to be obviously vigilant on the safety front, but I don’t want our agency to be skittish about innovations that are out there,” Foxx said.

It’s unclear what the new policy will be, but Foxx clearly signaled that the technology intrigues him. He told reporters that he hoped the update

TODAY’S TALKER

LOS ANGELES – That other Thanksgiving tradition – congested highways and jammed airports – is getting underway with gas prices low and terrorism fears high.

An estimated 46.9 million Americans are expected to take a car, plane, bus or train at least 50 miles from home over the long holiday weekend, according to the motoring organization AAA. That would be an increase of more than 300,000 people over last year, and the most travelers since 2007.

Among the reasons given for the increase: an improving economy and the cheapest gasoline for this time of year since 2008.

On Tuesday, some travelers were gearing up for an early exit.

“There’s a little bit of a tie-up here, but I’m sure once we get going, things will be great,” Mark Sullivan said as he waited at New York’s Port Authority bus terminal.

Sullivan was traveling to see family in Springfield, Massachusetts.

Anyone trekking to a major airport should factor in 50 extra minutes on the road, according to the traffic date company INRIX – and that’s just getting to the airport, never mind getting through security.

Google’s new self-driving prototype car is presented during a demonstration May 13 at the Google campus in Mountain View, Calif.

Federal transportation officials said they are updating their position on self-driving cars, with a goal of getting the emerging technology into the public’s hands sooner than later. overseen by his department’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration would be ready in “weeks, not months.”

For several years, Google and a handful of automakers including Tesla Motors, Nissan and Honda have been testing prototypes equipped with a suite of sensors and cameras on public streets and highways, mostly in California.

Those cars must have someone behind the wheel, ready to take over. Some have gotten into collisions, although in each case the companies said a person in another car caused the accident.

Google has advocated getting self-driving cars into the public domain as quickly as possible once the tech titan concludes the technology is safe.

While states have taken the lead on regulating self-driving cars, policymakers in Washington hold indirect sway over states’ decision-making. California’s Department of Motor Vehicles in particular has sought federal guidance as it struggles with how to move the cars safely from small-scale road tests to broader adoption.

Language the federal government is revisiting specifies in states where the public can get access to the cars, a licensed driver should be behind the wheel.

Google sees that as unnecessary. It has argued once cars can drive as safely as humans, it would be better to remove the steering wheel and pedals so that people don’t mess up the ride.

A Google spokesman had no comment on word of the federal review.

The California State Transportation Agency has interpreted the 2013 federal guidance as urging caution. The federal update “reaffirms that the topic is evolving and one worthy of continued discussion and public input,” spokeswoman Melissa Figueroa said.

The Department of Motor Vehicles is working to publish draft regulations by year’s end, Figueroa said.

Youngest U.S. chess master: I’ve got to work on my endgame The ASSOCIATED PRESS GREENWICH, Conn. – At age 10, Maximillian Lu is the youngest-ever chess master in the U.S. Even so, he sees room for improvement.

The distinction of being a national master belongs to less than 2 percent of U.S. Chess Federation members and is earned by racking up at least 2,200 points in competitions. It’s a rarity among children, but Lu shrugs it off, saying he needs to work on his endgame.

“It’s all right. I have to improve other stuff,” he said in a recent interview.

Max, who plays 45 min-

utes to an hour a day, and an hour or two on weekends or before major tournaments, started playing chess in an after-school program when he was 6 and has competed in tournaments in Toronto, South Africa and Dubai, and he represented the United States in Greece this month.

Climbing the ranks has been difficult, he said. In matches with increasingly tough competition, ambitious rivals are always “coming up behind you,” he said.

Max became the youngest-ever chess master in September, at 9 years, 11 months and 2 days, according to the U.S. Chess Federation. He

toppled the record attained in 2013 by Awonder Liang of Madison, Wisconsin, who became the youngest master at 9 years, 11 months and 15 days.

Y o u n g chess players now are stronger than in the past, partly Maximillian because of Lu online chess games that allow players to practice alone and to efforts by schools, clubs and others to draw more players, said Jean Hoffman, executive director of the U.S. Chess Fed-

eration.

For Max’s parents, supporting their son’s interest is not much different from what soccer moms and dads do, traveling from one competition to the next.

“We didn’t plan anything out,” said his father, David Lu. “It just sort of happened.”

An adult’s perspective also makes a difference. Lu said he helps his son handle what he calls the “psychological aspects” of chess, or maintaining a balance “between seeming mentally tough between losing a game and coming back to play another game.”

If approached the wrong

way, competitive chess can be a “high-pressure thing,” David Lu said.

Ian Harris, manager of the Chess Club of Fairfield County in Norwalk, and Bryan Quick, executive director of the Marshall Chess Club in New York – sites frequented

by Lu – said the game has exploded in popularity in the past decade, particularly among youngsters.

In addition to ubiquitous after-school chess programs, charter schools are taking up chess in the classroom. Educators said the game teaches logic and critical and analytical thinking skills and the ability lose gracefully.

City seeks community input for strategic plan

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN bkeeperman@shawmedia.com DeKALB – The city is seeking residents’ opinions on its drafted 10-year strategic plan, which officials said will guide the budget process in the future.

The city’s mission statement is to: “Collaboratively deliver high quality municipal services to those who live,

work, learn in or visit our community through fiscal responsibility, transparency, innovation, and leadership, that continuously improve the quality of life.”

The plan is broken up into a series of vision statements with goals, strategies and actions. For example, in order to create a sense of place, the city would attempt to better brand itself, as it has with the

“#ProudlyDeKalb” initiative.

Other aspects of the plan include increasing transportation services by increasing bus services and bringing the ride-sharing service Uber to DeKalb. Improved municipal services would need to incorporate different aspects of long-term financial planning, such as reducing reliance on Motor Fuel Tax funds to pay for operational activities.

The Center for Governmental Studies will modify the plan as needed based on community input in December.

City Council members will

To comment, email Diana Robinson, director of Northern Illinois University’s Center for Governmental Studies, at drobinson@niu.edu, or call the city manager’s office at 815-748-2090. meet again in January to discuss the modified plan.

Mayor John Rey said he liked the way the vision statements had been matched with specific actions and clear strategies.

“I’m most impressed by the alignment that we see in the strategic plan,” he said. “Seeing that all aligned with the core values. … The pyramid effect that is in there and in the document.”

The cost of incorporating all the goals and actions over the course of a decade isn’t known, but the plans will be reviewed on an annual basis, City Manager Anne Marie

Gaura said.

“On an annual basis, the mayor and City Council will guide this process, because it is tied into the budget process,” she said. “This is going to be a living document.”

The community’s needs are continually evolving, which means keeping a close eye on the plan is necessary, 6th Ward Alderman Dave Baker said.

“I’ve seen it year after year,” he said. “All these old studies and all these old visions. I’d be surprised if 10 percent of them fly today.”

Lawsuit challenges state ban on pot campaign cash

By CARLA K. JOHNSON The Associated Press CHICAGO – Two Libertarian political candidates have asked a federal court to declare unconstitutional an Illinois ban on political contributions from the state’s new medical marijuana industry.

The candidates – Claire Ball of Addison and Scott Schluter of Marion – filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Chicago last week in which they say they support marijuana legalization and want to solicit campaign donations from marijuana businesses. Illinois law bars such contributions.

Ball is running for state comptroller. Schluter is running for state representative in southern Illinois’ 117th District.

They argue that banning campaign donations from marijuana businesses infringes on the First Amendment’s guarantee of free speech, citing among other cases the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2010 decision in the case known as Citizens United.

The lawsuit acknowledges that preventing corruption is

a legitimate reason for governments to restrict campaign donations. However, it says “medical cannabis cultivators and producers are not singularly more corrupting than similarly situated individuals.”

The lawsuit names Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan and members of the Illinois Board of Elections. The office has until Dec. 10 to respond to the lawsuit, Madigan spokeswoman Annie Thompson said Tuesday.

The ban on political contributions was among concessions sponsors made to pass the bill in 2013, said the former coordinator of the Illinois program.

“In hindsight, several aspects of the Illinois Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act went too far and included unnecessary restrictions on the industry – such as requiring patient fingerprinting, severely limiting the qualifying medical conditions, and prohibiting political participation,” said Bob Morgan, an attorney at Much Shelist in Chicago. “This new lawsuit will clarify whether the prohibition was ever constitutional in the first place.”

According to the clerk’s office, incumbent State’s Attorney Richard Schmack, a Democrat, is not expected to officially declare his candidacy until Monday, which is the last day to file petitions with the clerk’s office.

But three Republican candidates are already in: Sycamore attorney Richard Amato, former DeKalb County State’s Attorney Clay Campbell and Hinckley attorney Charles Rea. The race to be county prosecutor could be the most watched of the election season.

A three-way contest for the Republican nomination could mean extra work for the

candidates, said Steve Kuhn, chairman of the DeKalb County Republican Central Committee.

“They are going to have to work to get their names out there,” he said.

Several races may go uncontested.

Court Clerk Maureen Josh has filed to seek re-election, but thus far has no challenger from her party and no one has filed to run as a Democrat.

Josh was first elected to the office in 1984.

“I have been fortunate to have excellent staff members who understand public service and who work tirelessly to provide outstanding ser-

vice to everyone who is in the court system and those who use the court system,” Josh said when she announced in October her plans to seek re-election.

No one has yet indicated publicly that they intend to challenge Dennis Miller in his re-election bid for county coroner. That coroner also serves as coordinator of the DeKalb County Emergency Services Disaster Agency.

Democrat Mark Pietrowski Jr., County Board chairman, has no opponent so far in the 3rd District race.

County Board member and vice-chairman Tracy Jones is also the lone Republican candidate to date to file in the 1st District.

Two County Board members appointed this summer have applied to run for full terms.

Republican Timothy Bagby wants to stay on in the 3rd District after being picked to fill the unexpired term of Riley Oncken, who resigned.

Democrat Steve Faivre also wants to keep his seat in the 4th District, after being tapped to fill Joseph Bassett’s unexpired term when Bassett stepped down.

when crowds swarm stores, sidewalks and subways and shoppers are preoccupied.

Authorities said pickpockets often employ a ruse to distract the victim.

Someone might drop loose change, faint in front of someone or bump into a

person while another criminal preys on the shopper whose attention is diverted.

Police also said pedestrians can avoid identity theft by keeping track of receipts and account information from credit cards and not carrying unnecessary personal

information Other tips include being alert, keeping purses close to the body and under a jacket, carrying wallets in front pockets and hiding packages stored in cars from view.

Protesters take streets after video released • SHOOTING

Continued from page A1 Police have said the teen had a knife. Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez said Tuesday that a 3-inch knife with its blade folded into the handle was recovered from the scene.

Shortly after the video’s release, protesters began marching through city streets. Several hundred people blocked traffic on the near West Side. Some circled police cars in an intersection and chanted “16 shots.”

“I’m so hurt and so angry,” said Jedidiah Brown, a South Side activist and pastor who had just seen the video. “I can feel pain through my body.”

Small groups of demonstrators marched up Michigan Avenue with a police escort before being stopped by officers as they headed toward Lake Shore Drive. After a short standoff, the crowd turned around.

At one point, demonstrators also gathered outside the police department’s District 1 headquarters in the South Loop. Officers formed a line in front of the building, blocking anyone from entering.

At least one person was detained, which led to a tense moment as protesters tried to prevent police from taking him away.

Some threw plastic water bottles at officers and sat behind a police vehicle, refusing to move. Officers pulled them away, and the vehicle sped off.

City officials spent months arguing that the footage could not be made public until the conclusion of several investigations. After the judge’s order, the investigations were quickly wrapped up and a charge announced.

Obama, Hollande pledge solidarity against ISIS

By JULIE PACE The Associated Press WASHINGTON – In a show of Western solidarity, President Barack Obama and French President Francois Hollande vowed Tuesday to escalate airstrikes against the Islamic State and bolster intelligence sharing following the deadly attacks in Paris. They called on Russia to join the international efforts, but only if Moscow ends its support for Syria’s embattled president.

“Russia is the outlier,” Obama said during a joint White House news conference AP photo with Hollande.

President Barack Obama and French President Francois Hollande of Tuesday’s meeting came France walks off stage at the end of their news conference Tuesday in hours after Turkey shot down the East Room of the White House in Washington. a Russian warplane near the

Syrian border. The incident underscored the complex military landscape in Syria, where a sprawling cast of countries and rebel groups are engaged on the battlefield and in the skies overhead, sometimes with minimal coordination.

Obama said Russian cooperation in the fight against the Islamic State would be “enormously helpful.” But he insisted a partnership is impossible as long as Russia stands by Syrian President Bashar Assad, who is blamed by the U.S. for plunging his country into chaos and creating the vacuum that allowed the Islamic State group to strengthen.

“We hope that they refocus their attention on what is the most substantial threat, and

that they serve as a constructive partner,” Obama said of Russia.

Hollande concurred, saying France wants to work alongside Russia, but only if President Vladimir Putin “fully commits” to supporting a political transition in Syria.

Hollande’s alignment with Obama was notable, given that he was expected to urge the U.S. president to put aside some of his differences with Russia to build a new coalition to fight the extremists. But Hollande’s mission quickly became entangled with the fallout from the downed Russian military plane.

Obama cautioned that information about the incident was still emerging. However,

he did say that Turkey had a “right to defend its territory and its airspace.”

The White House said late Tuesday Obama spoke with Turkey’s president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, to discuss the downing of the Russian plane.

In the call, Obama expressed U.S. and NATO support for Turkey’s right to defend its sovereignty, and the leaders also agreed on the importance of de-escalating the situation and pursuing arrangements to ensure it doesn’t happen again, the White House said.

Obama also convened his National Security Council on Tuesday to discuss the response to recent terrorist attacks by the Islamic State group.

Turkey downs Russian fighter

By JIM HEINTZ and SUZAN FRASER The Associated Press MOSCOW – Turkey shot down a Russian warplane on Tuesday that it said ignored repeated warnings and crossed into its airspace from Syria, killing at least one of the two pilots in a long-feared escalation in tensions between Russia and NATO. Russian President Vladimir Putin denounced what he called a “stab in the back” and warned of “significant consequences.”

The shoot down – the first time in half a century that a NATO member has downed a Russian plane – prompted an emergency meeting of the alliance. The incident highlighted the chaotic complexity of Syria’s civil war, where multiple groups with clashing alliances are fighting on the ground and the sky is crowded with aircraft bombing various targets.

“As we have repeatedly made clear we stand in solidarity with Turkey and support the territorial integrity of our NATO ally, Turkey,” NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg told a news conference after the meeting of the alliance’s decision-making North Atlantic Council, called at Turkey’s request.

The pilots of the downed Su24 ejected, but one was killed

by Syrian rebel fire from the ground as he parachuted to Earth, said the Russian general staff, insisting the Russian jet had been in Syrian airspace at the time.

One of two helicopters sent to the crash site to search for survivors was also hit by rebel fire, killing one serviceman and forcing the chopper to make an emergency landing, the military said.

Stoltenberg urged “calm and de-escalation” and renewed contacts between Moscow and Ankara. Russia has long been at odds with NATO, which it accuses of encroaching on Russia’s borders, as well as with Turkey’s determination to oust Syrian President Bashar Assad, a longtime Moscow ally.

In Washington, President Barack Obama said Turkey “has a right to defend its territory and its airspace.”

At a news conference with French President Francois Hollande, he said the incident underscored the “ongoing problem” with Russia’s military operations in Syria, where the Russians have been targeting groups near the Turkish border.

Calling Russia an “outlier” in the global fight against the Islamic State group, Obama said that if Moscow were to concentrate its airstrikes on IS targets, mistakes “would be less likely to occur.”

ANTIQUES AND COLLECTING

BY TERRY KOVEL KOVELS.COM

No, it’s not a turkey. This tureen is in the form of a guinea fowl. It sometimes is eaten in the United States, but it usually weighs less than four pounds and is much too small to feed the crowd at Thanksgiving dinner. Turkey for Thanksgiving is an American idea, promoted in the 1860s when Thanksgiving was declared a holiday by President Lincoln.

There are many legends that say wild turkey was part of the menu for the feast at Plymouth Colony in 1621.

But written reports say the Wampanoag Indians brought five deer (venison) and the colonists brought wild birds (probably tasty ducks or other water fowl, not tough turkeys) or passenger pigeons, shellfish and vegetables including dried corn and squash. Turkey wasn’t a popular part of the colonists’ diet until about 1800. The feast was probably a political meeting between neighbors with about 90 male Indians and 50 male Pilgrims, and no women. They probably did all the cooking. Enjoy your modern Thanksgiving dinner, and admire the beautiful African guinea hen tureen made in France. It sold for $5,412 at a New Orleans auction.

There are places in the U.S. where guinea hen are raised and restaurants that serve the small, expensive birds. *** Q: I recently inherited a singledoor oak china cabinet in the Mission style. It has side shelves supported by corbels on each side, arched top,

and three interior oak shelves and is 58 inches high, 44 1/2 inches wide, and 16 1/2 inches deep. It’s marked “Limbert” on the back and “452.”

Can you tell me the age and value?

A: Your china cabinet was made by the Charles P. Limbert Company.

Charles Limbert (1854-1923) was a furniture salesman before he started his own company in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in 1894. The company moved to Holland, Michigan, in 1906. It closed in 1944. Mission furniture was popular from the early 1900s to about 1920. The number “452” is the model number. Your china cabinet probably was made about 1910. Depending on condition, it would have been appraised at about $8,000 five years ago but today it’s down to about $5,000. ** * Q: My husband bought a very old steam iron at an estate auction many years ago. It has steam holes along the bottom and a water ball sits in the back with knobs for turning it off and on. “Coleman, made in U.S.” is written on the ball. Is it worth anything?

A: William Coffin Coleman started out selling typewriters and later sold lamps. By 1902 he had established a business in Wichita, Kansas, where he manufactured lamps. By the 1920s, Coleman was making irons, coffee percolators, toasters and waffle irons. The company made more than 30 different models of irons. Before electric irons were made, irons were powered by alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, natural gas and other fuels. The Coleman iron found most often today is the blue Model 4A, a gasoline-powered iron

Surprise - it’s not a Thanksgiving turkey.

This 11-inch-long 19th-century French tureen by Jacob Petit is a good likeness of a guinea fowl. The rare piece of porcelain sold for $5,417 in 2015. It will be admired and probably never used to hold soup at a dinner table.

made from 1929 to 1948. The fuel was lit by a match and the flames heated the iron. Coleman is known today primarily for its camping and outdoor recreational equipment and is owned by Jarden Corporation.

Steam irons are not wanted by many collectors. They sell for less than $50. *** Q: I just came into possession of a Parker, Union Mill No. 25 coffee mill that I’m told belonged to my 4th great grandmother. Can you tell me when this model was made?

A: Charles Parker started his company in Meriden, Connecticut, in 1829 and began making coffee mills.

He worked in partnership with several others over the years and there were several mergers and acquisitions, as well as changes in company names. Business expanded to include the manufacture of clocks, flatware, furniture, guns, hardware, lamps, match safes, scales, waffle

irons and other brass and other iron products. Parker had a foundry called the Union Works beginning in 1844. The Charles Parker Co. was bought by the Union Manufacturing Co. in 1957. Large coffee mills were used in country stores in the 19th century. Smaller mills for home use were first made about 1894 and were popular until the 1930s. *** Q: I’d like to know the value of a 1915 album of sepia tones from the Panama Pacific International Exposition at San Francisco. It says “Official Publication” on the cover.

A: The 1915 Exposition was a world’s fair that ran from Feb. 20 to Dec. 4, 1915. It celebrated the opening of the Panama Canal in 1914 and the renewal of the city after the devastating 1906 earthquake. Dirt was brought in to fill in part of the San Francisco Bay to create the 635-acre site for the Exposition in an area now known as the Marina district. Souvenir booklets of photographs from the Exposition sell for $20 to $30 online. *** Q: We’d like information about an antique washbasin impressed “Furnival” on the bottom. Who is the maker and how old is it?

A: Thomas Furnival & Sons was in business in Cobridge, Staffordshire, England, from 1871 to 1890. The company made earthenware. The impressed name was changed to Furnivals in 1890. Your washbasin was made between 1871 and 1890. *** Tip: Never put a cast-iron cooking pan in the dishwasher. Do not soak it for long. Excess water will remove the “seasoning” and food will stick

to the pan. *** Terry Kovel and Kim Kovel answer questions sent to the column.

OUR VIEW

DeKalb taxpayers have done enough for public library

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Thankful for what I do not have

To the Editor: It’s traditional that we take time out on this holiday to be thankful for all of life’s bounty that has been bestowed upon us.

Space does not permit me to list all the things I am thankful for that I don’t have, such as terminal illness for one.

During the recent snowfall, I was thankful I did not have to battle my way to work as I so often did years ago. I was also thankful that my son and daughter were not in the increasing snowfall.

There are also many intangible things for which we can be grateful.

One of those that I treasure outside of family is the friendships I enjoyed in the past and now making new friends.

An old example comes to mind.

If you can buy a friend for a dollar, keep the dollar. If you can sell a friend for a million dollars, keep the friend.

I am thankful I do not have to battle crowds in malls to do my Christmas shopping, thanks to online shopping. I am thankful I

don’t have to wait in long lines at the checkout counter.

I am thankful that although I may forget something now and then, it’s just a “senior moment.”

I gave up my driving privilege some years ago and I am thankful I no longer am at the mercy of someone saying yes I may obtain another license, nor do I have the expense of buying a license or city sticker, to say nothing of the expense of buying gas, repairs, parking fees, etc.

I am thankful I don’t live in a mansion that requires outside help to maintain.

I am thankful I don’t crave the bright city lights. The only bright light I need is when I read.

I am thankful I do not have fame and fortune and all that it entails.

I am thankful I no longer worry what people think of me. I know they seldom do. People are too preoccupied with their own lives.

I am thankful I don’t have to concern myself about being a good parent. That ship sailed years ago, and I have two useful citizens in my grown son and daughter.

I am thankful I don’t live somewhere else and call the United

States my home. God bless America.

VIEWS

When expedience feels like wisdom

“Let’s stop worrying about people’s rights.”

Sadly there are dozens of junctures in American history from which that shameful quote might spring.

It could date as far back as 1798, when President John Adams signed the Alien and Sedition Acts, making it illegal to criticize the U.S. government.

It could come from the 1870s, when Southern Democrats used violence to bar black voters from the polls and Northern Republicans looked the other way.

It could have been said in the 1940s when Americans put Americans in concentration camps, or in the 1950s when Joe McCarthy saw red everywhere he looked, or in the 1960s when J. Edgar Hoover sat listening to Martin Luther King’s phone calls, or, also in the ’60s, when the Supreme Court gave police the power to stop and frisk (and harass and intimidate) without warrants or probable cause.

It could have been said on any number of occasions, but it was actually said just last week on Fox “News,” where Sean Hannity convened a panel to discuss the terrorist attacks in Paris. Fox is the First Church of the Perpetual Indignation, so you can guess how that went.

A Dr. Gina Loudon, identified as a “psychology expert,” claimed “80 percent” of the mosques in America advocate violence.

Coincidentally, about the same percentage of facts spewed by Fox “experts” turn out

VIEWS Leonard Pitts to be pure equine excreta.

Hannity, meantime, worried a Syrian refugee might go into a crowded theater and start shooting people at random. Right.

Like we need Syrian refugees for that.

But it was left to Bo Dietl, a former New York City cop, to cross the line from the simply stupid to the downright chilling, as he called for mass surveillance of mosques.

Unconstitutional, you say? “Let’s stop worrying about people’s rights,” he said.

It is a seductive invitation. When you are scared – and Americans seem to live in a state of permanent terror – you run toward anything that promises a quick resolution of whatever has you frightened.

In such an atmosphere, “rights” can seem a frivolous abstraction and expedience can feel like wisdom.

The irony is, that’s precisely when expedience is most dangerous – and rights most important. In light of all the overreactions that stain American history, all the lives ruined and lost because we disregarded guarantees that supposedly define us, Dietl’s words should make thinking people cringe. Especially given how often acts of expedience and the abridgment of rights have proven needless and wrong.

We supposedly hold sacred the values inscribed in this nation’s founding documents. Yet every time the world says “Boo!” some of us are pathetically eager to toss those values aside as if they were suddenly a burden too heavy to bear. But if the things that make America America are so easily sloughed off – if they are that unimportant – then what, exactly, is it we’re fighting to defend?

Why does “America” even matter?

Sept. 11 damaged and destroyed iconic buildings and took thousands of lives.

But it also shredded the Constitution and made America unrecognizable to itself.

The government tortured. It disappeared people. It snooped through innocent lives.

It created a secret “no-fly list” of supposed terrorists that included many people with zero connection to terrorism, at least one of them a U.S. senator; you could never find out how you got on the list and there was no effective procedure for getting off.

It also gave the president unilateral power to execute American citizens suspected of terrorism without trial or even judicial oversight.

And after all that, here comes Bo Dietl. “Let’s stop worrying about people’s rights,” he said.

Here’s a better idea. Let’s start.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

There’s no doubt DeKalb’s new and improved public library will be a great asset to the city’s downtown area and the community at large.

What’s seeming less certain is how much property owners will eventually have to pay to get it done.

On Monday, the DeKalb City Council gave preliminary approval to the DeKalb Public Library’s $2.3 million property-tax levy request, which includes an additional $500,000 for the library expansion project. The increase is expected to cost the owner of a $150,000 house $56 more a year in property taxes.

Library officials said the extra money is needed because the state of Illinois has not released the remaining $4.6 million in grant funds the library was promised for the $25.3 million project, which will triple the size of the current library and also renovate For the record the historic Haish Memorial Library building to meet We understand library modern standards. The officials are loath to delay money has not been approthe work, but it shouldn’t priated because the state be up to local property taxdoes not have a budget in payers to keep it moving. place, as has been the case for almost six months.

Dee Coover, the library’s executive director, told the council the library will abate the property taxes if the money from the state comes through by June.

If it does not, then the funds will be used to keep the project moving along.

We understand library officials are loath to delay the work, but it shouldn’t be up to local property taxpayers to keep it moving. If money from the state doesn’t come, work should stop, as it has on Northern Illinois University’s Stevens Building renovation.

For one, property owners already have directly contributed to the library expansion by way of an 8-cent increase in their tax rate that City Council members approved in March 2013 when they signed off on the sale of $6.5 million in bonds for the project.

The tax increase came without any public referendum on the project. Tax increment financing money, which is derived from local property tax, accounts for an additional $2 million.

The state of Illinois is not meeting its obligations to many different agencies around our communities, and we cannot continue to try to carry on as though all is well.

As proposed, the owner of a $150,000 house will pay $56 more next year for the library expansion, along with $88 more for the city’s tax levy. Let’s not forget the additional $40 or so those same taxpayers already were assessed for the bonds for the library project.

How much more will the property owners be asked to pay? The library is about $800,000 short of its $3 million fundraising goal for the project. When they can’t get any closer, will the taxpayers pick up that tab as well?

The answer should be no. It’s important library officials stick to their original plan for financing what is a worthy project. If the state’s lack of a budget creates a delay, then let there be a delay. Perhaps it will help to ratchet up public pressure to get something done in Springfield.

Residents were not given the chance to weigh in on this project in the first place, and continuing to tap them for more funds is the wrong way to keep it on track.

ANOTHER VIEW

Minimum wage needs a raise The president’s labor secretary came to Wisconsin last week to call for a higher minimum wage.

Thomas Perez, who leads the U.S. Department of Labor, is right that people working hard at full-time jobs shouldn’t live in poverty.

But going to a minimum wage of $15 an hour is unrealistic and would cost too many low-wage jobs.

Doubling Wisconsin’s and the nation’s $7.25 hourly rate, even over a few years, could spook the economy.

Moreover, $15 an hour totals more than $30,000 a year, which is twice the poverty level for a single parent and child, for example.

A smaller raise, however, makes sense. The $7.25 rate hasn’t budged in six years, even though the economy has markedly improved since the recession.

Wisconsin’s unemployment rate, for example, is now down to 4.3 percent. And Madison’s is below 3 percent.

A decent raise in the minimum wage closer to $9 or $10 an hour, phased in over time, would help lots of working people struggling to get by. It also could help employers reduce turnover, noted Alan Krueger, former chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors.

“If the minimum wage is set at a moderate level, it does not necessarily reduce employment,” he wrote.

Leading Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson claimed at the Milwaukee GOP debate this month that “every time we raise the minimum wage, the number of jobless people increases.” But fact-checkers quickly dispelled his sweeping statement.

U.S. Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, has proposed a $9-an-hour federal minimum wage as a compromise in the U.S. Senate. But Democrats, previously insisting on $10.10 an hour, now want a $12 rate.

Rather than both political parties using the issue to impress their most partisan voters – and doing nothing – they should agree to a decent, gradual increase to around $9 an hour. It would help lots of single mothers and young people, who will spend the extra income to improve the larger economy.

Washington should be able to get this done.

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.

NCAA committee delays plan to fill bowls

The NCAA football oversight committee will wait until next week to complete a plan for matching sub-.500 teams with bowls if there are not enough bowl-eligible squads to fill 40 games.

There are 71 teams that have won at least six games and secured at least a .500 record, the minimum for playing in the postseason. If nine more teams don’t become bowl-eligible, losing teams would fill the remaining spots.

Eighteen teams can reach bowl-eligibility over the next two weeks, including 14 that need one more victory.

Among the teams that need wins in their season finales are Virginia Tech, Nebraska, Illinois, Indiana and Minnesota. Also, Texas, Kansas State, Georgia State and Louisiana-Lafayette can become bowl eligible with two more victories.

Northern Illinois quarterback Ryan Graham fumbles the ball while being sacked by Ohio’s Tarell Basham in the second quarter Tuesday in the Huskies’ 26-21 loss at Huskie Stadium.

MAC title hopes take a hit Running game picks a bad as Bobcats stun Huskies time for terrible performance

By JESSE SEVERSON jseverson@shawmedia.com DeKALB – The Ohio football team knocked the Northern Illinois’ quarterback out of the game Tuesday and potentially knocked the Huskies out of the Mid-American Conference championship game.

Redshirt freshman quarterback Ryan Graham, who has been successful in his two previous starts, was injured in the second half, and the Huskies lost, 26-21, to the Bobcats on a chilly Tuesday night at Huskie Stadium.

Graham, who injured his leg on a sack late in the third quarter, finished

11 for 17 passing for 142 yards and a touchdown.

“I don’t know his status if we get into the championship game,” NIU coach Rod Carey said of Graham. “I would hope for the bowl game he’ll be back, but I don’t know that status, either.”

With junior Drew Hare (Achilles) and Anthony Maddie (back) already out for the year with injuries, true freshman Tommy Fiedler was forced to fill in the rest of the way.

The left-handed Fiedler went 9 for 17 for 113 yards and made it interesting

See HUSKIES, page B3

DeKALB – There have been plenty of weaknesses this season for the Northern Illinois football team.

The passing game can stall out at times. The defense has given up big plays here and there.

Throughout it all, the running game has been consistent – at least it was until Tuesday’s 26-21 loss against Ohio.

The Ohio defensive line absolutely imposed its will on the Huskies. Ryan Graham was sacked four times, the last one knocking him out of the game for good, necessitating fourth-string quarterback true freshman Tommy Fiedler to enter the game.

VIEWS Eddie Carifio But it was the run game that took the brunt of it. The 73 rushing yards were the fewest since the Huskies got a season-low 72 at Boston College.

Even against Ohio State, the Huskies managed 110 on the ground, 78 by Joel Bouagnon. But on Tuesday, Bouagnon had a season-low 37 yards on 16 carries.

NORTHERN ILLINOIS 79, EASTERN ILLINOIS 63

Huskies score 29 in fourth to roll to victory

By JESSE SEVERSON jseverson@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Courtney Woods and Jazmine Harris didn’t miss much shooting the ball Tuesday afternoon.

The two players had career games off the bench for the Northern Illinois women’s basketball team, and the Huskies used a strong offensive second half to cruise to a 79-63 victory over Eastern Illinois at the NIU Convocation Center.

The two combined to score 34 points on 12 for 15 shooting – with Harris piling up a gamehigh 21 points and Woods went Danielle Guerra – dguerra@shawmedia.com 5 for 5, including 3 for 3 from Northern Illinois forward Jazmine Harris is pressured by Eastern Illinois beyond the arc, for 13 points.

University’s Erica Brown while going for a layup during the first quarter “They’re really good offensively,” NIU coach Lisa Tuesday at the Convocation Center in DeKalb.

Next vs Kansas at SMU Thanksgiving Classic, 8 p.m., Friday Carlsen said of Harris and Woods. “What they were able to give us off the bench wasn’t something that was a surprise.

To have that kind of firepower off the bench is important for us to keep the pressure on teams.”

Woods, a freshman from Australia, suffered a left ankle injury toward the end of the game, but Carlsen said it didn’t look serious. For Harris, it was a career high in points after missing last season with a leg injury she suffered in the

summer of 2014.

“I still have some work to do, especially on the defensive end,” Harris said. “I think I had a good game, but I need to be consistent.”

The Huskies (2-1 overall) shot 12 for 18 in the fourth quarter and scored 29 points in the period. Sophomore Kelly Smith had 16 points, nine rebounds and five assists in the game, and senior Natecia Augusta had 10 points and six rebounds.

Freshman Mikayla Voigt added nine points, and junior guard Ally Lehman had another stat-filled performance with eight points, five assists and 14 rebounds.

Oklahoma moved into third and Iowa was fourth in the new College Football Playoff rankings as Notre Dame slipped to No. 6. Clemson and Alabama remained the top two teams in the third-to-last committee rankings.

The Sooners (10-1) seem to be in solid shape with only one game left in their season. Oklahoma will play at Oklahoma State on Saturday with a chance to win the Big 12. The Cowboys dropped to 11th after losing its first game of the season Notre Dame (10-1) also plays its last game of the season Saturday, a possible resume-builder against Stanford, which is ninth in the rankings.

Unbeaten Iowa (11-0) and No. 5 Michigan State (10-1) can setup a possible playoff play-in game in the Big Ten championship if both win this weekend.

White Sox acquire RHP Kahnle from Rockies

CHICAGO – The White Sox have acquired right-hander Tommy Kahnle from the Colorado Rockies for minor league pitcher Yency Almonte.

The 26-year-old Kahnle is 2-2 with a 4.41 ERA in 90 relief appearances over two seasons with the Rockies. He went 0-1 with a 4.86 ERA and two saves last year.

Almonte was 11-7 with a 3.41 ERA in 24 appearances – 23 starts – for Class A Kannapolis and Winston-Salem.

With Tuesday’s move, the White Sox’s 40-man roster stands at 37.

Ravens sign Clausen as backup QB

OWINGS MILLS, Md. – The Baltimore Ravens have claimed quarterback Jimmy Clausen off waivers to serve as backup to Matt Schaub.

To make room for Clausen on the roster, the Ravens placed quarterback Joe Flacco on injured reserve Tuesday.

Flacco tore the ACL and MCL in his left knee Sunday in a 16-13 win over St. Louis and is lost for the season.

Schaub will be the starter Monday night at Cleveland.

Clausen was waived by the Bears on Monday. He played in two games with the Bears this season, starting once.

Manziel benched by Browns for behavior

BEREA, Ohio – Johnny Manziel partied his way out of the lineup during Cleveland’s bye week.

Browns coach Mike Pettine benched the polarizing quarterback Tuesday for his off-field behavior, a move that could signal Manziel’s days with the team are numbered.

Pettine said Josh McCown will start Monday night’s game against Baltimore in place of Manziel, who was recently handed the starting job but couldn’t keep it while the team had a week off.

NIU VOLLEYBALL

Gooden awarded top honor

By DAILY CHRONICLE sports@daily-chronicle.com Northern Illinois volleyball coach Ray Gooden was named the Mid-American Conference Coach of the Year on Tuesday, winning it for the fourth time.

Gooden, who finished his 14th season at NIU, led the Huskies to a record of 19-11 overall and a MAC-best 14-2.

“I want to thank associate head coach Lynnette Moster, assistant coach Matt Sprague and Sam Grams for their great work, along with our support staff and administration,” Gooden said. “Most importantly, thanks to the team for their dedicated work and culture.

This is a program award.”

The Huskies finished with four players on first team allMAC – with junior outside hitter T’ara Austin winning the MAC Player of the Year and senior Alexis Gonzalez being the MAC Setter of the Year.

Gooden has led the Huskies to sixth straight 10-plus win seasons in the MAC. With 264 wins at NIU, he is two victories away from trying the all-time school record held by Pete Waite.

Northern Illinois, which lost to Ohio in the MAC Championship on Sunday, will host the conference tournament in 2016 after having the best MAC record during the regular season.

Bear quarterback Jay Cutler drops back to pass Sunday against the Denver Broncos at Soldier Field.

BEARS AT GREEN BAY, 7:30 P.M. THURSDAY, NBC, AM-780

Cutler’s career year faces another test

By NATE ATKINS natkins@chicagofootball.com LAKE FOREST – Jay Cutler doesn’t want to make too much out of it, but he knows this Thursday is big for him.

No team has battered him around more throughout the years than the Packers, from his 1-11 record to a quarterback rating of 67.2 that is the worst he has against any NFC opponent he’s played at least three times.

This week’s challenge is unique because it finds Cutler in the middle of arguably the best year of his career. Despite injuries crippling every position around him, Cutler is posting his best numbers in yards per game, interception percentage and sack percentage in his first year in Adam Gase’s system. The latter two stats show an efficient Cutler that many have screamed for in recent years.

That could start to go away Thursday against a Packers defense assembled by Dom Capers, who always seems to have the blitzes and disguises to rough Cutler up. Fair or not, a bad performance would return some noise for Cutler.

After all, his games thus far

at Lambeau Field haven’t been pretty.

In 2009, he was 17-of-36 passes with one touchdown and four interceptions in a 21-15 Bears loss.

In 2010, he finished 21-of-39 with two interceptions, losing a super defensive game, 10-3.

In 2011, he had one of the worst games of his career, completing just 11 passes in 27 attempts for one touchdown and four picks in a 23-10 loss.

And then there was last year, where the numbers weren’t as terrible – 22-of-37, 272 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions – but the result was: Packers 55, Bears 14.

“I really don’t remember much about it at all,” he said of last year’s game.

Cutler can’t get Capers out of Green Bay, but this year, he does bring with him Gase, whose attention to the running game and addition of rollouts with quick reads have simplified the pressure Cutler has placed on himself.

“You see the efficiency, the time clock, the passing game, they’re running the ball very well, they’ve had a number of changes with their offensive line,” Packers head coach Mike

McCarthy said. “… The diversity and the efficiency is what I’ve seen from their offense.”

It’s not all Gase, of course.

The offensive coordinator complimented Cutler’s experience and intelligence for being able to check out of play calls, such as the 3rd-and-10 pass call that went for a rushing first down against the Rams two weeks ago. He said that’s grown in him since the first meeting with the Packers in Week One, when a late Clay Matthews interception helped make the difference in a 31-23 Green Bay win.

A chess match awaits them with Capers on Thursday.

“He does a good job personnel-wise, using his guys,” Cutler said of Capers, in his 30th year in the NFL. “They move Clay [Matthews] around a lot.

The secondary, they always throw some different stuff at us.

“We’re really confident in our offensive scheme. Our offensive coaches have done a good job all year long of making sure we go into games with good stuff.”

And ultimately, it’ll be just another game. One of 16 on the schedule. But it’s not hard to see the statements that could be in play depending on how it goes.

the field.

While the Huskies outscored the Panthers 47-37 in the second half, they had a sloppy start to the third quarter – missing their first three shots and had three turnovers.

“If you look at those few possessions, we got good shots,” Carlsen said. “It was just poor execution, it wasn’t poor decisions. That’s a focus issue. It’s not like they did something to take things away from us, we just didn’t execute.”

Eastern Illinois (1-4 overall) had three players in double figures, led by Shakita Cox’s 16

points. The Panthers shot 38 percent from the field – including 24 percent from the 3-point line.

It was a much different offensive output for the Huskies this year against the Panthers. In last season’s meeting, Eastern Illinois defeated the Huskies, 5546, in Charleston – one point fewer than Northern Illinois scored in the second half Tuesday.

However, despite the different result this year against the Huskies, Carlsen said it’s difficult to compare the two seasons.

“I think things are so totally different for both programs,”

Carlsen said. “Our personnel is different than last year’s personnel, our style of play is different – there are so many different variables.”

The game on Tuesday was the first of two regular season contests for the Huskies that will begin at 11 a.m. – the other coming at home against Miami (Ohio) on February 10.

“It’s obviously a little abnormal, but it’s abnormal for both teams,” Carlsen said. “Our pregame routine isn’t going to change. We’re just going to adjust it by time. I’d rather do it at home than on the road.”

NIU’s 22-game November win streak ends • HUSKIES Continued from page B1 with a 12-yard touchdown pass to Kenny Golladay with 1:45 left in the game. “[The injuries to the quarterback] don’t mean anything to the seniors right now,” said Carey, whose Huskies celebrated senior night against Ohio. “It’s next man up. Tommy came in and did a good job getting it to a one-score game. I feel terrible sending the seniors out of Huskie Stadium like this. It’s not what we wanted.”

Golladay finished with six catches for 72 yards and two touchdowns, and senior Juwan Brescacin had six receptions for 114 yards.

The Huskies, who had won their previous 22 games in the month of November, still could make the MAC Championship if Western Michigan wins Friday at Toledo.

If the Rockets win, they will advance to play Bowling Green for the conference title.

“It’s not a feeling I’m used to,” Brescacin said about having to wait and see if the Huskies will once again represent the MAC West in the conference championship Dec. 4 in Detroit. “All my years I’ve been here, we’ve

The Northern Illinois rushing game struggled against the Ohio defense, finishing with 73 yards on the ground, which was one more yard than the season-low 72 against Boston College.

Joel Bouagnon had 16 carries for 37 yards, and Jordan Huff had 20 yards on three

carries.

“Our D-Line did awesome,” said Ohio linebacker Chad Moore, who had a team-high nine tackles.

“When they do well up front, it makes it easier for the linebackers to fly around.”

Ohio sophomore running back AJ Ouellette had a game-high 140 rushing yards on 30 carries – helping the Bobcats outgain the Huskies, 398-328, on the night.

The Bobcats (8-4 overall,

5-3 in MAC East) improved to 48-1 since 2009 when leading after halftime and won at Huskie Stadium for the first time since 2006. “(NIU) has been a dominant program in our conference for some time and it doesn’t seem to matter – they replace coaches, they replace players and they keep winning,” Ohio coach Frank Solich said of the Huskies.

Northern Illinois needs a Western Michigan win over Toledo to advance to title game • CARIFIO Continued from page B1 The running woes had a big hand in costing the Huskies a guaranteed trip to Detroit. Now they need to grab their popcorn, voodoo dolls, oars and whatever other lucky charms they deem necessary to help Western Michigan topple Toledo on Friday.

Really, it didn’t appear to be that the offensive line or backs played that bad, per se.

The Ohio defense was fero-

cious, rattling Graham and later Fiedler. The Bobcats finished with 10 tackles for losses.

“Our defense got back to our old ways,” said Ohio linebacker Chad Moore, who finished with nine tackles, three for a loss including a sack, and a forced fumble.

“Defensive goal No. 1 was to stop the run, and make them one dimensional. And that’s exactly what we did.”

Ohio coach Frank Solich said it wasn’t just the defensive line that stuffed the

Huskies – it was a team effort on the defensive side, according to him.

“It’s the only way you can really slow them down,” Solich said. “You can’t slow them down if you’re only getting great defense from the line corps or the backer corps or the secondary. You better have it all put together to stop these guys. I thought we had that tonight.”

Obviously, the loss can’t be pinned solely on the running game. Special teams play was poor, to say the least. An early

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED LEVY FOR THE CITY OF SYCAMORE

I.

A public hearing on the proposed property tax levy for the City of Sycamore and the Sycamore Public Library for 2015 will be held on Monday, December 7, 2015 at 7:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers in the Sycamore Center at 308 West State Street, Sycamore, Illinois.

Any person who wishes to present testimony to the taxing bodies may contact the Sycamore City Clerk, Candy Smith, at the Sycamore Center, 308 West State Street, Sycamore, Illinois (815-895-4515). A final reading on the annual levy ordinances will occur on December 21, 2015.

II. The City property taxes levied in 2014 totaled $2,651,565. The proposed City property taxes to be levied in 2015 will be $2,777,797. With an estimated City EAV of $357,587,796 (versus $337,661,389 in 2014), this levy should result in a City tax rate of 0.77682 per $100 EAV. III. The property taxes levied for the Sycamore Library are in addition to those levied for the City of Sycamore and are approved by the Library Board of Directors. The proposed Library levy in 2015 is $1,020,287.

The 2014 levy was $971,702.

IV. The corporate tax rate is the combination of the city rate and the library rate. The total property taxes to be levied for the corporate purposes of the City of Sycamore (the City and Library levies combined) for 2015 are $3,798,084, an increase of $174,817 over the corporate levy of $3,623,267 in 2014. adno=0361358

fumbled punt by Chad Beebe gave Ohio the ball back and eventually a 10-7 lead, one it would never give up. NIU also blocked a field goal in the fourth, but Ohio recovered and returned it 20 yards, setting up an easier field goal that stretched the lead to 26-14.

But the running game has been the rock of the team, starting with Bouagnon and anchored by pair of four-year starters in Aidan Conlon and Andrew Ness. Seeing the unit

underperform was surprising, and must have been disappointing to Huskie fans.

NIU coach Rod Carey said as well as the Ohio defense played, he felt that the Huskies didn’t help matters with mistakes like missed assignments and penalties.

“They’re a good defense, and I say this without taking credit away from them, but I think we’d get a good play and then shoot ourselves in the foot,” Carey said. “That stalled us, then we weren’t ex-

ecuting when we didn’t have those things going against us.

With all due respect, they’re a good defense, but I think that was part of it, too.”

Whatever the reason, the Huskies are in a position they are not used to – relegated to spectators hoping someone else can get them into the MAC Championship game.

4 ADVICE & PUZZLES • Wednesday, November 25, 2015 • Section B • Daily Chronicle / Daily-Chronicle.com

Wife who hopes for husband’s support must rely on her own Dear Abby: While I was nine months pregnant with my first child, I asked my husband what he would say if I had any problem during my delivery and he was asked to choose between me or the baby. His answer was, “Of course I’d pick the baby because you never can replace the baby.” His answer broke my heart. Four days later, my water broke at 36 weeks, and I thank God for giving me a healthy little boy.

I can’t get it out of my head now, because I feel as if my husband doesn’t love me. I have tried to talk to him about how it hurt me, but his answer is this is his belief and I can’t change that. Was I wrong for asking him? – Mother In Amarillo, Texas Dear Mother: I don’t think

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips so. You were asking for his reassurance, and I’m sorry you didn’t get it. If a child is delivered in a Catholic hospital, the policy is to save the child if a choice must be made.

It appears this also is your husband’s belief.

My advice is, dry your tears and remember what he implied about wives being replaceable also can be said about husbands. Perhaps it’s time to give serious thought to drawing up a health care directive so, in the event you should become unable to make decisions for yourself in the

future, your wishes are clearly known.

Dear Abby: When I was in my 20s and out on my own, my father left my mother for his secretary, “Doris.” They married soon after. She is a nice enough person, but she can be a little pushy. I have had to work on setting boundaries with her.

Every time we talk or visit – maybe once a month – Doris makes a point of telling me she loves me, and it’s clear she’s hoping I will reciprocate. I’m glad she’s married to my dad because he seems happy with her. I’m comfortable with my daughter calling her Grandma.

But I can’t bring myself to tell her I love her because I don’t feel that way about her.

I hoped Doris would get it

when I responded with things like, “It’s great to see you, too,” but it hasn’t happened. She’s estranged from her own daughter, and I think she wants to feel as if she’s my mom, which I’m not comfortable with.

Dad refuses to talk about anything related to his wife, so he is of no help. How can I get my stepmother to back off without hurting her feelings? I want to remain on good terms.

– On Good Terms In Illinois Dear On Good Terms: Try saying this: “You’re loved, too, Doris.” It’s not a lie because your dad does love her, and it might satisfy her if she doesn’t see this column.

Dear Readers: Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and no Thanksgiving would be complete without my sharing the traditional

prayer penned by my dear mother: Oh, Heavenly Father, We thank Thee for food and remember the hungry.

We thank Thee for health and remember the sick.

We thank Thee for friends and remember the friendless.

We thank Thee for freedom and remember the enslaved.

May these remembrances stir us to service, That Thy gifts to us may be used for others.

Amen.

Have a safe and happy celebration, everyone! – Love,

Abby

Long-term use of osteoporosis drugs can cause rare fractures Note to readers: This column is an update of one that ran originally in August 2012.

Dear Dr. K: I’m taking a pill for osteoporosis because my doctor says stronger bones will reduce my risk of fractures.

But a friend recently told me some osteoporosis medicines actually cause fractures. Can you un-confuse me?

Dear Reader: I know what you’re referring to, and it is confusing – even for doctors.

So let me try to make it less confusing.

Osteoporosis does make your bones more susceptible to fractures, and a group of drugs called bisphosphonates do treat osteoporosis successfully.

These drugs include alendro-

ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff nate (Fosamax), ibandronate (Boniva), risedronate (Actonel) and zoledronic acid (Reclast).

People typically remain on these drugs for years.

There is no doubt these drugs work. They slow and even reverse the thinning of bones. They reduce the risk of common fractures, such as hip fractures, by 50 percent or more.

However, paradoxically, these medicines can cause two rare types of fractures: a fracture of the jaw and fractures of the middle of the thigh bone.

That’s particularly true in

people taking bisphosphonate drugs for a long time.

How long should the drugs be taken? They definitely reduce common fractures in people taking them for three to five years. There is no strong evidence they continue to work if continued beyond five years, but it’s reasonable to believe they might.

After talking with my colleagues here at Harvard Medical School who are experts on this question, here’s what I’m telling my patients. If a person has a relatively high risk for developing a common type of hip fracture (which involves the upper part of the thigh bone) or a fracture of the vertebrae (bones of the spine), he or she should stay on the drugs. If the risk is relatively low, he or

she should consider going off the drugs after five years.

You can estimate your risk of fractures by using a tool from the World Health Organization called FRAX. The FRAX tool includes information about you, including the T score of your bone density test.

The T score compares the density of your bone to the bone of the average young adult. (I have information about the FRAX on my website, www.askdoctork.com.)

To boil it down, I am telling my patients if they have been on bisphosphonates for less than five years, stay on them.

On the other hand, if they’ve been on the medicines for five years or more and they have: • a T score that is lower than minus-2.5 at the hip, stay

on the medicines.

• a T score that is lower than minus-2, and they have had a fracture of one of the vertebrae in the past, stay on the medicines.

• a T score that is higher than minus-2 and no past fractures, stop the bisphosphonates and check their bone density test in six to 12 months.

This is general advice, rather than a specific recommendation for you. There may be aspects of your personal medical history I don’t know.

Girl’s mother pressures her to reunite with lying ex-boyfriend Dr. Wallace: I’m 19. I was going out with a guy a couple of years ago, but I broke up with him because he was the world’s biggest liar. He told me he was Catholic (I’m Catholic) but he was born Jewish, and he said he was only 19 but he turned out to be 22. Nearly everything he said was untrue.

After that, I was going with another nice guy but he wanted to get married and I didn’t, so he tried to get me to just live together to see how it would work out. I did not like this idea, so we broke up and I dated several other guys, but none seriously.

A week ago, the fellow who rarely said anything that turned out to be true called me and wanted to see me again.

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace He swore he has changed his ways and apologized for telling me so many lies. He begged me to go out with him and promised not to say anything that wasn’t true. I finally went out with him, but I really didn’t feel comfortable with him, so I told him I wouldn’t be dating him again. It took me by surprise when he actually called my mom and told her how he had changed for the better. Now my mom is convinced he is really a worthwhile human being, and she is pressuring me to give him another chance. I am not con-

vinced, and my instinct is to not give him a second chance.

What do you think I should do? – Nameless, Monmouth Nameless: Listen to your inner voice. It’s your life, and you should choose the guys you wish to date. Mom should stay out of it.

Dr. Wallace: I’m a single mother, and my daughter is a very pretty 13-year-old girl.

She is very intelligent and plays the violin beautifully.

The problem is she seems to have very low self-esteem. She doesn’t make new friends, and she doesn’t try to do new things because she is afraid she will not do them well.

I’ve tried to encourage her to smile more and to try something new she might really have an interest in because

TODAY – A romantic relationship will blossom. Joint ventures and professional partnerships will work in your favor, provided you agree on the details ahead of time. Some of the changes going on around you may seem overwhelming at first, but you can profit if you are flexible.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Keeping busy will help you handle stress caused by personal issues. Don’t let relationship problems cut into your professional productivity, or you will face bigger problems.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Social gatherings will provide a welcome outlet from work troubles. Make an effort to spend more time with friends and loved ones. A chance to travel for business or pleasure is apparent.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Financial security should be a priority. Sticking to a strict budget and reducing your expenses will be necessary to avoid problems with creditors. Ask for help if you are unsure how to proceed.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – What you accomplish now will set the stage for future prospects. If you do the groundwork, success will be yours. Attend a trade show, seminar or course that will add to your earning potential.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Love is in the stars. Reconnect with old friends. An email or phone call will open a door that has been closed for a long time. Make amends and begin again.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Deal with sensitive matters before they escalate into big predicaments. An issue that seems hard to decipher will become clear and be more easily resolved if you maintain honest, open communication.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Stick to your principles. You may be flattered by an enticing offer, but regrets will follow if you don’t play by the rules. An ailing relative will cause concern.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Resist the urge to voice your opinions, especially with business colleagues. Offer carefully considered solutions in order for things to move ahead smoothly. Turn a negative into a positive.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – You are highly regarded for your willingness to help those in need. Don’t be surprised if someone who can influence your future is keeping an eye on your good deeds.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – You have a lot on your plate.

Proceed with caution, or a damaging mishap will occur. Keep up to date with medical, legal and financial matters.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Look for an inexpensive way to make your living space more appealing. Presenting an inviting atmosphere will make you feel good. A new hobby will prove to be a welcome stress reducer.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Careful study of your plans for the coming year should be a priority. Unsatisfying partnerships should be reconsidered and dealt with before moving forward.

she would probably do it well if it were something she likes.

It is very painful for me to see this beautiful young lady having very little self-confidence. Can you tell me what I can do to improve her self-image? – Mom, Santa Fe Mom: Everybody loves praise, especially teens with low self-images. Always make a point to congratulate your daughter for specific accomplishments. Instead of just telling her she did a good job cleaning her room, be specific and tell her something you particularly liked about how she organized her shoes or books or displayed her collection of dolls. You also can leave her surprising little notes about how you enjoyed shopping with her, or she

BRIDGE Phillip Alder

looked really nice.

When a task has not been done correctly, never scold about it, but offer helpful hints to improve. Remember scolding only creates resentment and fortifies low self-esteem.

Encourage your daughter to attend school and church functions so she can make new friends, and encourage her to invite them home for a social activity. Always have a smile for your daughter and give lots of hugs. Tell her how proud you are of her. Positive reinforcement is an important part of building confidence.

This is an extended process, and you shouldn’t expect instant success.

CROSSWORD

Will you see the farsighted play?

John Ortberg, a pastor in California, said, “Prudence is foresight and farsightedness.

It’s the ability to make immediate decisions on the basis of their longer-range effects.”

That is perfect for today’s deal. Declarer needs foresight to make a farsighted play early in the proceedings.

South is in four spades doubled. West leads the heart ace, then shifts to the club king.

How should declarer proceed?

Over West’s first double, North raised pre-emptively to game with five-card spade support, a weak hand, a singleton, and an eye on the favorable vulnerability.

West’s second double promised extra strength. Then East might have bid to the five-level, but he had only one point and the vulnerability was adverse. (Note that five hearts is defeated only if South gets a club ruff.)

South should be worried about losing one spade, one heart and two diamonds. But if West began with both missing trumps, he is a candidate for an endplay – for which declarer must first eliminate the rounded suits.

After winning trick two with dummy’s club ace, South must ruff a club in his hand.

Then the play proceeds: spade ace, heart ruff, club ruff, heart ruff and club ruff. With his preparations complete, declarer exits with a trump (or leads his diamond king).

West wins but is stuck. If he plays a diamond, South loses only one trick there.

Or if West leads a heart, declarer ruffs in one hand and sluffs a diamond from the other.

Tune in tomorrow for more on this interesting deal.

THANKSGIVING 2015

LEFTOVER PLANS

By J.M. HIRSCH – The Associated Press

12-pound turkey: 3 to 4 hours at 325 degrees F. 15-pound turkey: 4 to 4½ hours at 325 degrees F. 18-pound turkey: 4½ to 5 hours at 325 degrees F. 20-pound turkey: 5 to 6 hours at 325 degrees F. Baste: Every 30 minutes.

No more, or heat will escape and lengthen cooking time.

Rest: The turkey should rest 20 to 30 minutes before carving to let the juices redistribute.

Cranberry Sauce, Oat and Flax Pancakes Start to finish: 20 minutes Makes 10 pancakes

1/2 cup oat flour (or 3/4 cup oats, pulsed in food processor until finely ground) 1/4 cup almond flour (also called almond meal) 1/3 cup all-purpose flour 1½ teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 3 tablespoons flax meal (ground flaxseed) 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon 1/4 cup plain low-fat Greek yogurt 2/3 cup prepared cranberry sauce (whole berry or jellied) 1 teaspoon orange zest 1 egg 2/3 cup low-fat milk (dairy or non-dairy) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Heat a nonstick griddle over medium while preparing the batter. Heat the oven to 200 degrees F. In a medium bowl, whisk together

The leftovers: For food safety reasons, leftovers should be cleared from the table and refrigerated within two hours of being served. Once refrigerated, they should be consumed within three to four days. Leftovers can be frozen for three to four months. Though safe to consume after four months, they will start to taste off. the oat flour, almond flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, flax meal and cinnamon.

In a second medium bowl, briskly whisk together the yogurt and cranberry sauce to break up the cranberry sauce. Add the orange zest, egg, milk and vanilla and whisk until smooth (not counting chunks from any whole cranberries). Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently stir with a whisk, incorporating all the ingredients, being careful not to overmix.

Lightly mist the hot griddle with cooking spray. Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, scoop batter onto

the prepared griddle, being careful not to crowd the griddle. Cook until the pancake batter is nearly dry, 2 to 3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a heat-safe plate and set in the oven to keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve with desired toppings.

Nutrition information per pancake: 130 calories; 30 calories from fat (23 percent of total calories); 3 g fat (0.5 g saturated; 0 g trans fats); 25 mg cholesterol; 190 mg sodium; 18 g carbohydrate; 2 g fiber; 8 g sugar; 4 g protein.

Double oven tips: Dedicate one oven to the turkey. Place one rack on the oven’s lowest shelf and remove all others. When the bird goes in the oven, it goes on that bottom rack. If you have room to add another rack over it, this is the ideal place to cook your stuffing, au gratin potatoes and green bean casseroles, which can cook at the same temperature at the bird. Early in the day, use the second oven to cook anything that can be done ahead. Pies and rolls are good. Closer to the time you will serve the meal, use the second oven to cook things that need a higher temperature than the turkey, such as roasted root vegetables and pies.

How much to cook?

Leftovers are great, but without a little planning based on how many guests you are expecting, food could wind up going to waste or, worst of all, guests could go home hungry. Use this guide when prepping Thanksgiving dishes.

THE TURKEY

The following roasting time estimates are based on a stuffed turkey cooked at 325 degrees F. in a standard oven. Reduce cooking time by 20 to 40 minutes for turkeys that are not stuffed. And remember, a crowded oven cooks more slowly, so plan ahead if your bird needs to share the space. The meat needs to hit 165 degrees F. for safe eating.

CRANBERRIES INVITED TO BREAKFAST

If your goal is to have very ample leftovers, aim for 1½ pounds per person no matter how big the turkey is.

• For 8 people, buy a 12-pound turkey • For 10 people, buy a 15-pound turkey • For 12 people, buy an 18-pound turkey • For 14 people, buy a 20-pound turkey

THE SIDES

Roasting numbers

Now subtract 12 from your total to account for the guests who without warning will diagnose themselves as gluten-sensitive, fruit-free, paleo-centric or anti-sugar. Buy that many pies.

For more help navigating the Thanksgiving math minefield, we’ve assembled cheat sheets to the most common culinary calculations. And because this is Thanksgiving, all estimates are generous to allow for plenty of seconds and leftovers. Speaking of which, we have some delicious ways to use those leftovers that go beyond the turkey sandwich. Think cranberry sauce pancakes or turkey tacos to vary the flavors.

After all, this may be our favorite feast of the year, but that doesn’t mean we want to eat it every day for the next week.

Carrots: A 1-pound bag makes 4 to 5 servings Cranberry sauce: A 12-ounce package of fresh cranberries makes about 2¼ cups of sauce; a 16-ounce can has 6 servings Gravy: Plan for 1/3 cup of gravy per person Green beans: 1½ pounds of beans makes 6 to 8 servings Mashed potatoes: A 5-pound bag of potatoes makes 10 servings Stuffing: A 14-ounce bag of stuffing makes about 11 servings

THE DESSERT

T

hanksgiving math actually isn’t all that hard. You just need to use a few basic equations. For example, to estimate the amount of wine you’ll need, begin by multiplying the number of in-laws you are expecting by the estimated number of offensive jokes your uncle is likely to tell (remember to round up). Take the product of that and multiply it by the number of children likely to overhear the offensive jokes. Buy that many bottles of wine. Or perhaps you need to know how many pies to serve. Tally the total number of guests, then add another eight guests to that number to account for your niece’s heartthrob of the moment (who may or may not come, but if he does will eat an entire pie himself).

AND LAST-MINUTE LISTS

Pie: A 9-inch pie can be cut into 8 modest slices.

Whipped cream: Dolloping whipped cream on those 8 modest slices will require 1 cup of heavy cream beaten with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (a splash of vanilla extract is nice, too) Ice cream: A la mode doesn’t require much – 1 pint per pie should suffice
