Local teen improving after crash Sycamore 17-year-old transfers to Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago

By JILLIAN DUCHNOWSKI jduchnowski@shawmedia.com Morgan Witmer was unable to speak for days after doctors lifted her from a medically induced coma last week, but she still found ways to communicate with her mother.

First it was lifting an eyebrow.

Then it was a finger, and two fingers. Next was lifting an arm.

Morgan’s movements were a relief for her family members, who

initially were told she might not survive an Oct. 27 crash that left her neck broken in three places, and bruised her spinal ligament so she is paralyzed on her left side.

She also suffered collapsed lungs and had three broken ribs on each side of her ribcage, her father, Mel Witmer Jr., said.

Morgan’s speech returned last weekend, and she took another step in her recovery Wednesday when she was transferred from OSF Saint

By KATIE FINLON news@daily-chronicle.com DeKALB – Stuart Tilton is known as Artimus Pyledriver when he referees bouts for DeKalb’s roller derby team, the Barbed Wire Betties.

If there’s one stereotype he’d like to dispel about the women who skate around the track in helmets and knee pads with numbers inked on their arms, it’s that they’re all stay-at-home moms looking to keep busy.

“It’s just tired,” Tilton said. “Everybody says that.”

Members of the Betties range in age from 22 to 49.

Sierra Big John, who goes by the nickname, Phoenix Enforce-Her, said women from many professions and walks of life are on the team.

SYCAMORE – With his first countywide campaign behind him, DeKalb County Clerk and Recorder Doug Johnson said it’s time to work on fulfilling the promises he made.

Johnson, a Sycamore Republican who won a four-year term as clerk on Tuesday, said he wants to boost security for the county’s online records, increase voter turnout and reduce the cost of elections.

“I’m happy DeKalb County voters looked at the job I’m doing,” Johnson said. “They looked at what I’d like to do and said I’m the kind of clerk they wanted.”

In terms of reducing election costs, Johnson said he is researching a ballot on-demand system that would eliminate the need to pre-print massive quantities of ballots. This year, the county ordered 44,000 ballots, but only around 28,000 people – or about 49 percent of eligible voters – voted.

Rather than throwing away 10,000 unused ballots, the ballot on-demand system would print ballots at the poling place.

He’d like to debut the new systems in time for early voting in the 2016 election. In the meantime, he hopes to increase awareness of his office and others by promoting the county Facebook page. Whatever new technology he adapts, Johnson said he’d like it to benefit people outside his office.

“I don’t just want to go out and get the coolest and most innovative technology for me,” Johnson said. “I want to do it as a county approach.”

This election was a first in several ways for Johnson, 57, whose only other elected position was as a member of the Sandwich School District 430 board in the 1990s.

Just after I turned 18, one of my best friends and I drank some beer and headed to our local post office. He had recently turned 18, too.

We had an errand to accomplish. We registered for Selective Service.

Neither of us was overly worried about being called to war, and neither of us planned to join the military, so the beer wasn’t technically necessary, except it was Texas, and we were teenagers, and it was beer, so there’s that.

That’s as close as I came to serving in the military. My dad captained B-25s in World War II and claims to have served in the same unit as Joseph Heller of “Catch-22” fame. Dad had many war stories. My uncle, whom I never met, flew bombers in the Pacific Theatre. He was shot down and never came back.

And I’ve had quite a few friends who have served, but not me.

But I still worry. Not about me. I worry about my students. In the past few years, I have taught those who have served, are serving or intend to serve.

Whether they are good students or not, or whether I like them or not, I still don’t want them to go somewhere far away and get blown apart.

THE FINE LINE Jason Akst service an honor and the right thing to do.

So at least on some level, it’s hypocritical for me to write about Veteran’s Day. But every day, journalists report on topics about which they have no personal expertise, and generally, society is OK with that.

Moreover, with the just-concluded gruesome election (gruesome for Americans, not just Democrats), Ebola, or whatever the next headline is, I’m afraid veterans are going to slip to the backstage of American political theatre.

A quick review. Veterans Day was borne of the end of World War I. The war officially ended when the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919, outside the town of Versailles, France.

However, fighting ceased months earlier when an armistice (a temporary cessation of hostilities) between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the 11th month, according to the U.S.

For that reason, Nov. 11, 1918, is generally regarded as the end of “the war to end all wars.”

President Woodrow Wilson first proclaimed Armistice Day on Nov. 11, 1919.

The original concept for the celebration was for a day observed with parades and public meetings and a brief suspension of business beginning at 11 a.m.

So, at 11 a.m. Tuesday, stop what you’re doing and observe a moment of silence to honor and thank veterans.

But before Tuesday, check the Internet: it’s full of nice, simple, inexpensive ideas for honoring veterans. eHow.com and history.com are two good websites to check.

If nothing else, two little words go a long way: Thank you.

Shifting white votes hurt Democrats

@dailychronicle

The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – White voters of all ages were less likely to back Democrats this year than in elections past, helping Republicans nationwide but most acutely in the South – and overpowering Democratic efforts to turn out their core supporters among blacks and Hispanics.

In a nation growing ever more diverse, political forecasters repeatedly warn Republicans they must improve their appeal among minorities in order to remain competitive in the long term.

But for the Democrats, dominating the vote among minorities isn’t enough to win elections today – and it won’t be in the future if the GOP is able to run up similar margins among whites, who still make up a majority of voters in every state.

“The rule of thumb was Democrats could win with 90 percent of the African-American vote and 40 percent of the white vote,” said Merle Black, a political science professor at Emory University in Atlanta.

“But now very few Democrats could think about getting 40 percent of the white vote. They’re trying to get 30 percent. In the Deep South states, from South Carolina to Louisiana, it’s very hard for the Democratic candidate to get 25 percent of the white vote.”

Nationally, Republicans running for seats in the U.S. House won 60 percent of the white vote, while Democrats won the backing of 89 percent of African-Americans and 62 percent of Hispanics.

Those are nearly identical margins to the 2010 midterm elections. But Democrats won more of the white and Hispanic vote in 2006, the last midterm elections in which the party won control of the House.

White voters last tilted in Democrats’ favor in a midterm in 1990, and were a swing group in the 1980s.

The data on voters come from exit polls of voters nationally and in 27 states

A man looks over the front pages from newspapers around the country that are on display outside the Newseum on Wednesday in Washington, D.C. America awoke Wednesday to sharper dividing lines in an already divided government, forcing a weakened President Barack Obama to recalibrate his approach and giving Republican leaders in Congress new muscle to check him. that were conducted for The Associated Press and the television networks by Edison Research. Most interviews were conducted among randomly selected voters at precincts nationwide and in each state.

Outside of the South, whites broke for Republicans by an average of 8 points on Tuesday. But in 10 Southern states with an election for Senate on the ballot, Republicans won the white vote by an average of 42 points. Democrats garnered so little support among whites in Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina and Texas that a majority of those voting for the Democratic candidate were nonwhite.

In North Carolina, while incumbent Democratic Sen. Kay Hagan was widely credited with running a solid campaign, she carried just 33 percent of the white vote – down from 39 percent in 2008 – and lost. White voters under age 30 backed Hagan by close to a 2-to-1 margin six years ago as they helped to sweep President Barack Obama into office.

This time, in a midterm election, the younger white voters who cast ballots in

North Carolina broke just as decisively for Hagan’s Republican opponent, state House Speaker Thom Tillis.

Steve Rosenthal, president of the Organizing Group, a Democratic-leaning consulting firm, said he’s been jokingly calling this election the Seinfeld election for Democrats – they had no national message that resonated with their voters.

“It was an election about nothing.

Republicans made it an election about President Obama. That was their goal,” he said. “Their mission was to turn out people who were angry, people who were displeased with the job the president has done.”

It was a mistake for Democrats to distance themselves from the president, said Erik Smith, a former Obama campaign adviser and Democratic strategist.

Democratic voters are not motivated to help candidates who were happy to be with Obama two years ago, but tried to avoid his presence this year, he said.

“I’m sure [it] led a lot of these voters to say, ‘How is this candidate going to treat me in two years?’” he said.

Prosecutors drop charge against AC/DC’s Phil Rudd

By NICK PERRY The Associated Press WELLINGTON, New Zealand – New Zealand prosecutors on Friday backtracked by dropping a murder-for-hire charge against AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd, saying there wasn’t enough evidence to proceed.

But the 60-year-old member of the popular Austra-

lian band still faces a serious charge of threatening to kill, which comes with a maximum prison term of seven years. He also faces charges of possessing methamphetamine and marijuana.

In a statement, Tauranga Crown Solicitor Greg Hollister-Jones said his office became responsible for prosecuting Rudd after he had been charged by police and had ap-

peared in court.

“The file was obtained today and reviewed,” Hollister-Jones said Friday, adding he “made the decision that there was insufficient evidence to proceed with the charge of attempting to procure murder.”

Rudd’s lawyer Paul Mabey said the decision to charge Rudd was made by police without consulting with pros-

ecutors.

“The charge alleging an attempt to procure murder should never have been laid,” Mabey said in a statement, adding “Mr. Rudd has suffered unnecessary and extremely damaging publicity as a result of widespread and sensational reporting of a very serious allegation, which on any basis was never justified. The damage to Mr. Rudd

is incalculable.”

Attempting to procure murder comes with a maximum 10 year prison sentence.

AC/DC said the arrest of its drummer won’t affect its upcoming tour or album release.

The band released a statement through publicist Benny Tarantini on Thursday saying band members had “only become aware of Phil’s arrest as the news was breaking.”

DeKalb firefighters offer different take on coat drive

By ANDREA AZZO aazzo@shawmedia.com DeKALB – The DeKalb Fire Department’s goal is to provide 100 coats this winter for area children who may not be able to afford their own winter apparel.

The firefighters launched an initiative called Operation Warm DeKalb in September after learning about the national effort at the International Association of Firefighters annual conference in July in Cincinnati.

“We go on calls in the winter and see kids wearing no coats or thin coats,” said Patrick Eriksen, a DeKalb firefighter/ paramedic involved in the effort. “A lot of kids don’t even get Christmas presents. This’ll be a Christmas present.”

It’s among several efforts in the DeKalb area to provide warmth to those who need it. The St. Mary – Christ the Teacher Conference of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul distributed warm clothing Sunday in DeKalb, and Northern Rehab Physical

Eriksen has coined a phrase to encourage people to donate: It will only take 30 seconds to change the life of a child.

“We’re just looking for people’s support to donate whatever they can to support a good cause,” he said.

As Operation Warm DeKalb continues, DeKalb firefighters hope to provide between 500 to 1,000 coats next year. As for now, they are focusing on how many coats they can donate this year.

“It breaks my heart when I see these kids standing outside at the bus stop in the middle of winter because they don’t have the coats they need,” Eriksen said. “It’s going to mean so much for them to get a new present.”

NIU police won’t be charging woman in service dog incident

Officials easing confusion

the woman coming out of a Northern View building in the timeframe of the incident, but the footage did not show what happened, Rodman said.

“With regards to [the alleged perpetrator], she tried to shield herself from the dog,” Rodman said. “She said she shook her pant leg to free herself from the dog.”

Police also spoke with a veterinarian who treated the dog, who told police the dog had some tooth decay that was a contributing factor in the loss of teeth, Rodman said.

Rodman added that police do not believe the woman had malicious intent to harm the dog.

The case has been referred to NIU’s Office of Community Standards and Student Conduct. Rodman said police also have encouraged the victims in the case to pursue civil action against the woman.

Jessica Woollcombe, who has multiple sclerosis, reported to police that she believed her 7-year-old poodle mix service dog Max was kicked by a woman so hard about 10:30 a.m. Oct. 21 at NIU’s Northern View Community apartments that it required surgery to remove the dog’s five front teeth and a canine tooth.

However, NIU Police Cmdr. Don Rodman said Woollcombe did not see the incident but felt a tug on the leash, which he said was not enough evidence to prove the woman guilty. Police used camera footage to identify

LOCAL BRIEFS Park board to discuss Hopkins Pool renovation DeKALB – The DeKalb Park District Board will discuss options for renovating Hopkins Pool during a special meeting at 5:30 p.m. today at the Hopkins Park Community Center, 1403 Sycamore Road, DeKalb.

The discussion will center around a report completed in June by the district’s ad-hoc Pool Consideration Committee.

Based on the report, the renovation options for the aging pool range from $1.8 million to $5.6 million.

Park board members accepted the report in June, deciding to discuss the most feasible option later. The district has until 2015 to have a plan in place to make the pool comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Enough money has been raised through private donations and a Target grant to help 24 children and their families, but police are

looking for more donations to help more children, the release states. Police are asking for all nominations and donations by Nov. 19.

To nominate someone or to make a donation, call Community Relations Officer Chad McNett at 815-748-8439.

What’s next

aazzo@shawmedia.com SY C A M O R E – D e K a l b County officials decided Thursday to classify proposed enterprise zone areas as eligible for incentives to ease some of the confusion over the drafted maps.

The current drafted maps available on the county website show red areas designated as commercial, yellow as existing industrial, pink as available industrial and green as connecting strips.

Rather than assuming all of those highlighted areas will pursue future development should DeKalb County become successful in its bid for an enterprise zone, the maps soon will indicate colored areas can be eligible for development instead.

“That’s an easy fix,” said DeKalb County Administrator Gary Hanson.

The County Board’s economic development committee will vote on whether to support the enterprise zone draft proposal during its next meeting Monday.

The full County Board is expected to vote on whether to approve the proposal Nov. 19.

The planned revision came during a public hearing about the proposed enterprise zone Thursday at Sycamore City Center’s City Council Chambers, 308 W. State St., Sycamore. County residents had an opportunity to ask questions about the proposed enterprise zone, which would provide tax breaks and other incentives for industrial and commercial businesses that move or expand in select areas of the county.

The county has met with

other municipalities and taxing bodies over the past few months to draft its enterprise zone proposal, which needs to be submitted to the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity by Dec. 31. Many municipalities across the state are expected to apply for the benefits, so the process is competitive, said Paul Borek, executive director of the DeKalb County Economic Development Corp.

To qualify as an enterprise zone, DeKalb County must meet at least three of the 10 criteria proving it is worthy of having an enterprise zone.

Some of the criteria include unemployment, poverty, employment opportunities and vacant structures. Borek said the county could qualify for more than three of the criteria.

T h e p r o p o s a l a l s o i ncludes a five-year tax abate-

ment program that would be available to school districts and logistical, industrial and knowledge-based companies such as research companies, as well as a 10-year tax abatement program for companies within 3½ miles of Interstate 88.

“We need an enterprise zone to compete for investments, jobs and the tax base,” Borek said. “We’ve lost jobs to competing [communities with enterprise zones]. The availability of enterprise zone benefits will allow us to level the playing field for projects we can support.”

Hanson said the County Board’s economic development committee will vote on whether to support the enterprise zone draft proposal during its next meeting Monday. The full County Board is expected to vote on whether to approve the proposal Nov. 19.

Rauner transition team includes Dems

By SOPHIA TAREEN The Associated Press CHICAGO – In one of his first official acts since being elected governor, Republican Bruce Rauner named dozens of advisers to a transition team Thursday that included two prominent Democrats, former White House chief of staff Bill Daley and former Southern Illinois University President Glenn Poshard.

The team – which will help lay policy groundwork and determine who’ll be in Rauner’s cabinet once he takes office – also included former Republican Gov. Jim Edgar, Republican U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock, Caterpillar Inc. CEO Doug Oberhelman, former Chicago Public Schools CEO Ron Huberman and the Rev. James Meeks, one of the black ministers from Chicago who had supported his campaign.

“We want to put together the most talented team of people ever assembled in state government,” Rauner said.

“They have tremendous networks of talented individuals that they can call upon.”

Rauner addressed reporters for the first time since ousting Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn in a close contest Tuesday. He’s the first Republican governor in Illinois in more than a decade.

The Winnetka venture capitalist offered a brief preview of his priorities, saying he was working on scheduling a meeting with top Democrats, House Speaker Michael Madigan and

Illinois Governor-elect Bruce Rauner calls on a reporter as he talks about appointments to his transition team and many issues facing the state, during a news conference Thursday in Chicago.

Senate President John Cullerton, and that raising the minimum wage was important.

Quinn stressed raising the wage during the campaign and has vowed to pursue it in his remaining months in office.

But Rauner took heat during the campaign for changing his stance.

He said Thursday he personally voted for a non-binding ballot measure calling to raise Illinois’ $7.25 rate to $10, but

would recommend lawmakers only approve it in conjunction with other reforms. Rauner spokesman Lance Trover later said Rauner wouldn’t work against efforts that’ll only raise the rate.

Rauner began announcing his team the day after the election, putting his running mate, Lt. governor-elect Evelyn Sanguinetti in charge. Some new members attended Thursday, standing on risers behind

Rauner. The advisory positions are unpaid, according to Rauner’s staff.

Daley is the son of late Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley and the brother of Richard M. Daley, both of whom served more than two decades as Chicago mayor. Bill Daley originally planned a primary campaign against Quinn for the Democratic nomination but dropped the challenge in September last year.

At the time, Daley insisted he could have won but that he didn’t have the heart for a prolonged battle to fix Illinois’ monumental problems. He also predicted Quinn would lose to a Republican. He didn’t address the issues Thursday.

“All of us, Democrats, Republicans, independents, must move forward together and support our new governor in his administration,” Daley said. “The future in this state depends upon all of us helping him.”

Poshard, who served several terms in Congress and was a member of the state General Assembly before that, lost the gubernatorial race in 1998 to Republican George Ryan. Huberman briefly served as the head of the nation’s third-largest school district under Mayor Richard M. Daley before leaving for a private equity firm. Meeks is a former state senator and head of a Chicago megachurch. Other transition team members include Chicago pastor Corey Brooks and Republican state Rep. Jil Tracy.

Some GOP fear a schism over Obama, immigration The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – With President Barack Obama vowing to press ahead on immigration, prominent Hispanic Republicans are worried about the reaction of staunch conservatives.

They fear it will harm the party’s ability to win over Latinos in the next presidential election and beyond.

While immigration was generally a muted issue in midterm elections dominated by the GOP, Obama promised the next day to move ahead on his own to remove the threat of deportation or grant work permits to an unspecified number of immigrants living here illegally.

“The initial reaction from Republicans is going to be very ugly and not well- thought-out, unfortunately,” said Alfonso Aguilar, former chief of the U.S. Office of Citizenship in the George W. Bush administration and executive director of Latino Partnership for Conservative Principles.

Aguilar said congressional Republicans must offer a plausible alternative to the president’s plan, especially since the GOP-controlled House has shelved bipartisan immigration legislation. His call echoes those of some of the party’s potential 2016 candidates to reach out to Hispanic voters in some way.

“Just saying ‘let’s repeal this,’ or ‘let’s not fund it’ – if that’s the only reaction, that’s going to antagonize Hispanics,” Aguilar said.

But House Republican aides note that Speaker John Boehner and others have no effective way to tone down

comments of members who stridently oppose looser immigration rules. Indeed, many of those members are proud to defy party leaders.

Boehner himself likened Obama’s remarks to playing with matches. “He’s going to burn himself if he continues to go down this path,” Boehner said Thursday, a day after Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell warned the president not to act without congressional approval. Such a move, McConnell said, “poisons the well” for potential bipartisan efforts.

A Congress controlled by the GOP come January “will defend itself and our citizens from these lawless actions,” said Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, adding “Americans do not want their borders erased.”

Aguilar and others are concerned conservative firebrands will go further in their rhetoric, perhaps by calling for Obama’s impeachment or for mass deportations – creating a political sweet spot for Democrats not long after the Republican triumph at the polls and exposing a rift inside the GOP just as the party assumes control of both chambers.

“Republicans have a knack for shooting themselves in the foot,” said Carlos Gutierrez, a commerce secretary under Bush who led that administration’s failed effort in 2007 to enact comprehensive immigration changes. “The Republicans can overreact and give the impression that they’re not so much against the concept of executive action but that they’re against immigrants. And that would be a big problem.”

U.S. hits al-Qaida affiliate in Syria The ASSOCIATED PRESS BEIRUT – American aircraft bombed al-Qaida-linked militants in Syria on Thursday, and activists said another radical rebel group also was hit – an apparent expansion of the aerial campaign against the Islamic State group to target other extremists deemed a threat to the West.

Initial reports indicated a French militant the U.S. said was a top bomb-maker was hit and possibly killed in the attack.

The airstrikes near Syria’s border with Turkey marked the second time the U.S. has targeted the Nusra Front, al-Qaida’s Syrian franchise and a major player in the fight against President Bashar Assad.

Missiles also struck a compound of Ahrar al-Sham, one of the most prominent brigades fighting Assad in the country’s 3½-year civil war, activists and rebels said. It was the first time a group other than the Islamic State or Syria’s al-Qaida affiliate was bombed by the U.S. since its operation began in September.

The strikes risk further alienating many in the opposition who view the two targeted groups as important allies in the fight against the Syrian regime, while leaving Assad untouched. It also could undermine Washington’s already shaky plan to work with what it considers moderate rebels against Islamic extremists in Syria.

The Pentagon said fighter

jets, bombers and drones struck overnight near the Syrian town of Sarmada against five targets belonging to the Khorasan group, which the U.S. said is a Nusra Front cell plotting to attack American interests.

An initial assessment indicated the airstrikes destroyed or damaged several of the group’s bomb-making facilities and training areas, as well as vehicles and meeting areas, the Pentagon said in a statement.

Two Idlib-based activists, Abu Abdul-Qader and Ahmad Kaddour, said the strikes hit a Nusra Front compound in the village of Harem and a vehicle near the town of Sarmada. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights also reported the strikes and said at least six Nusra fighters were

killed in one location.

A senior U.S. official said one of the targets was a French militant and bomb-maker, David Drugeon. The official said the U.S. is still assessing the results of the strikes, but believes they were successful and that it appears Drugeon was hit. The official was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.

Gen. Lloyd Austin, the Central Command official in charge of U.S. military operations throughout the Middle East, said at a Washington forum that he would not discuss results of the strikes until they had been more fully studied. He suggested, however, Drugeon was targeted and might have been hit.

Parents of Sycamore teenager dealing with multiple emotions Continued from page A1 On Oct. 27, Morgan, a Sycamore High School junior, and Connor Shaver, 17, of the 800 block of Janet Street in Sycamore, decided to drive to Kishwaukee Education Consortium for class rather than take the school-provided bus. Shaver was driving them in a 2004 Nissan 350Z coupe, and as they headed west on Rich Road, he reached 110 mph in the 55 mph zone.

Shaver lost control, and the vehicle swerved off the road, hit a utility pole, and then rolled over several times, police said.

Shaver had passed the KECbound school bus just before the crash. In the aftermath, a student on the bus called Morgan’s mother, Debbie Witmer, who was at O’Leary’s Restaurant and Pub, the family’s restaurant in downtown DeKalb.

Mel Witmer Jr. and his father drove to the crash, and Mel Witmer Sr. talked to Morgan as firefighters worked to free her from the car.

“The scene will be forever ingrained in my mind,” Mel Witmer Sr. said. “My job was to communicate to Morgan that her father and I were there.

They say – I don’t know if this holds true – that if people are unconscious a lot of times they still have hearing. I thought it was important for me to tell Morgan that I was there.”

Morgan was flown to OSF St. Anthony Medical Center, and the family adopted roles: Her elder brother, 24-year-old

Chase Witmer, ran the family business, and her other brother, 22-year-old Lance Witmer, slept in a chair in her hospital room, tracking her medical statistics and, at times, massaging her paralyzed side.

Shaver was treated at Kishwaukee Hospital in DeKalb, and later charged as an adult under the traffic code with aggravated reckless driving and aggravated speeding, authorities said. If convicted of the more serious charge, he could be sentenced to probation or up to three years in prison.

Attempts to contact Shaver and his family were not successful Thursday.

Mel Witmer Jr. said he’s never met Shaver, who he would describe as his daughter’s casual friend, but the father acknowledged he and his sons are working through some anger as Morgan recovers.

“I want severe consequences, and I want the charges to be able to stick,” Mel Witmer Jr. said. “I don’t want to see negotiations to a lesser count. ... I would hope that Connor Shaver and his parents would accept responsibility and accept those charges.”

But the anger is tempered by other emotions, too.

“My wife and I have been processing the outpouring [of community support] and prayers,” Mel Witmer Jr. said, estimating the gift cards and certificates they’ve received could fill a grocery bag. “We’ve been reconnected with God and prayer. Walking through St. Anthony’s, everyone from the [flight nurse] has been following up with her. “

The Barbed Wire Betties warm up during practice Wednesday at the Kishwaukee YMCA in Sycamore.

Halverson: Derby is time-consuming • DERBY Continued from page A1 Britt Halverson, also known as Val Cree, is an accountant by day and a derby girl by night.

She said the stay-at-home mom stereotype for derby girls may exist because roller derby is very time-consuming.

“We practice for six hours a week, and then we also have responsibilities to the team outside of practice,” Halverson said.

Halverson said those

responsibilities include fundraising and promoting bouts. Big John said the team also participates in community events and service, including the Sycamore Pumpkin Parade and Toys for Tots.

The team’s franchise record is 1-7 since they formed in July 2012. The team competes with opponents from surrounding areas like Aurora, Roselle, Bloomington, and even as far as Warsaw, Indiana, and Beloit, Wisconsin.

The next 12-week fresh meat program for new members will

be Nov. 19. Those trying out must be at least 18 years old.

Advance tickets cost $10 and are available at www. brownpapertickets.com, and tickets are $12 at the door.

Military with ID and seniors tickets cost $7 and children younger than age 8 get in for free.

Johnson plans to help Republicans in future • CLERK Continued from page A1 It was also his first midterm election. He was appointed clerk in September 2013 after former clerk John Acardo resigned.

In turn, Johnson enlisted help from other members of the DeKalb County Republican party. Sharon Holmes, who served as the county clerk for 20 years before retiring in 2010, helped Johnson by introducing him to several people.

“I think Doug has the maturity he needs to take the office,” Holmes said. “I just see his easy-going ability to deal with the general public. That’s the biggest thing in the office. Many times, you’re a problem-solver.”

Johnson said he plans to return the favor by helping other Republicans campaign in the future.

The election didn’t resolve everything from the campaign.

An ethics complaint filed against Johnson alleging he was illegally distributing campaign

materials on July 17 at a Senior Health Fair hosted by state Rep. Bob Pritchard remains under investigation.

A photo taken at the event shows him handing an elderly woman a fan with a Republican elephant logo and the wording: “Doug Johnson, DeKalb County Clerk and Recorder,” but Johnson maintains he did nothing illegal. He contended the complaint was a move to hurt his chances of being elected.

“I think people just didn’t want to hear it,” Johnson said.

Turnout still a matter of engagement

Time to dust off my reproductive freedom flag The morning after the Republicans won, well, just about everything, I spent a good half-hour staring at a favorite piece of artwork that hangs in a prominent place in our home.

From a distance, the piece looks like a 13-by-9-inch version of the American flag.

Thirteen red and white stripes are stitched to perfection and anchored to a rectangle of dark blue fabric in the upper left corner. A nice patriotic rendering of Old Glory, matted and framed behind glass I swipe every week with my Swiffer.

On closer inspection, however, one sees that Cleveland artist Dawn Hanson was up to mischief when she created this flag, which is part quilt, part craft and wholly political.

Instead of 50 stars, there are four rows of tiny buttons. The first three rows – weeks one through three – are white; in the last row – week four – the buttons are pink. The days of the week run along the top: SUN, MON, TUE – you get the idea.

Hanson titled the piece “Reproductive Freedom Flag.” Patriotism with a punch.

You learn a lot about dinner guests in your home by watching their reaction to an American flag designed to resemble a pack of birth control pills. Men, if they happen to notice it, seldom say anything, but sometimes they shake their heads in what I imagine to be sympathy for my husband.

Women, however, particularly of a certain age, often start to walk past it and do a double take, tilting back on their heels as if an invisible someone just tugged on their sleeves. Inevitably, the smile grows wide with recognition.

We remember. Mercy, do we remember.

Typically, our conversations ricochet from our favorite chicken recipes to the latest legislative assaults on women’s reproductive rights. I live in Ohio, after all, where the Republican sweep in 2010 led to more attempts to restrict abortion in the first 15

VIEWS Connie Schultz months than in the previous 10 years of the state Legislature.

On Wednesday morning, I stared at Hanson’s artwork that has launched so many conversations and wondered about the woman who made it. I took the frame down from the wall, found her business card taped to the back and called her.

At 50, Hanson is the co-owner of a marketing firm in Cleveland, but she spent a decade of her young adulthood working in corporate communications in Europe. During that time, she became aware of the difference between women’s rights there and women’s rights here in the United States.

“I started seeing all these stories about limiting not just abortion but women’s access to basic human rights like birth control,” she said in a phone interview. “It was so different from what I was experiencing in Europe.”

Hanson started contributing money to Planned Parenthood’s national organization and volunteered for the Cleveland chapter when she moved back to the U.S. She also returned to the quilting roots of her childhood in Shreveport, Louisiana, merging art with her growing activism. She gave her first “Reproductive Freedom Flag” to Cecile Richards, who is president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America. Hanson told me she hopes her “Reproductive Freedom Flag” in my house will continue to spark a lot of conversation. I told her I’ve had it up to here with just talk.

In the wake of Tuesday’s Republican rout, I suggested on social media that every woman in America register her uterus as a corporation. It’s the only thing I can think of right now that might stop Republican legislators

from meddling with a woman’s reproductive organs.

Across the country, turnout for this election was down, including among women, prompting this observation from The Washington Post’s Nia-Malika Henderson: “One question Democratic and Republican pollsters will be chewing over is whether Democrats’ edge with women is becoming only a presidential-cycle bump.”

I will spare you my immediate response and just ask: How can this be?

I know women juggle a lot, every day. I still remember an Election Day during my years as a single mother when I stood in front of the cashier at the grocery and counted out the coins in my purse to cover the cost of a handful of items. I offered an embarrassed smile and then panicked at the sight of the “I Voted” sticker on the cashier’s lapel. I barely made it to the polls in time to vote. Sometimes the daily mess of life can make a crucial act of citizenship just another thing on a long to-do list.

But here’s the thing: As long as this country continues to act as if family planning is only a women’s issue, we’re going to need a lot more women getting in the way of legislators, most of them male, who think our bodies are their business.

If you didn’t vote this time, I’ve got to tell you that just for today, I’m at a loss for how to get you to care. This feeling will pass, I know, because I can’t stand looking at my reflection in the glass over that flag and seeing the face of surrender.

• Connie Schultz (con.schultz@yahoo. com) is a Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist and an essayist for Parade magazine. She is the author of two books, including “... and His Lovely Wife,” which chronicled the successful race of her husband, Sherrod Brown, for the U.S. Senate.

Eligible voters aren’t sitting out elections for lack of access. It’s a lack of engagement that’s at issue.

Tuesday’s election in Illinois had the fewest barriers to participation in the state’s history. Early voting began Oct. 20 and ended Sunday. Voters could use “no excuse” absentee voting. The Oct. 7 registration deadline was all but negated by a grace period that began the next day, during which voters could register and vote at the same time.

For the record This election was also the first to use same-day In other words, even voter registration, where though it was marginally voters could register and more difficult to vote, there vote on Election Day in was still greater turnout selected locations. The in DeKalb County in 2010 process needs some work than on Tuesday.

– there were a limited number of polling places where same-day registration was available, leading to some confusion among voters as well as long lines in some locations. As a result, the last person to cast a ballot did so at 3 a.m. Wednesday in Chicago.

All of these measures no doubt made the electoral process more convenient and accessible for voters, and we support them.

However, they do not appear to have had any notable effect on voter turnout.

According to newly elected DeKalb County Clerk Douglas Johnson’s office, 48.5 percent of registered county voters cast ballots on Tuesday.

There were 58,482 registered voters and 28,389 ballots cast.

That was fewer votes than were cast in the 2010 general election, when the same offices were up for election. That year, 51 percent of voters participated. There were 29,157 ballots cast from a pool of 57,102 registered voters.

In other words, even though it was marginally more difficult to vote, there was still greater turnout in 2010 than on Tuesday.

Local turnout was higher even in 2002, the last midterm election before the state’s early voting program was introduced.

That year, 50.8 percent of DeKalb County voters cast ballots.

It is possible that looser requirements on voter registration increased the voter pool – the more than 58,000 registered voters was about 500 more than in the 2012 election, which boasted a 71 percent voter turnout. It was almost 10,000 more than the number of registered voters in 2002.

Still, it doesn’t matter how easy we make the voting procedure – if people don’t know or care enough about the issues and candidates, they’re not going to show up.

Unfortunately, the election that tends to draw the least popular interest is coming up in April, when scores of local offices will be up for election, and voter turnout has not been greater than 28 percent in the past 10 years. It’s unfortunate because the people we elect next have the potential to make decisions that have the greatest impact on our dayto-day lives.

The legitimacy of our government at every level depends on the participation of the people in electing its leaders. As such, every attempt should be made to allow people to vote the opportunity to do so.

But it’s up to the people themselves to be engaged and interested enough to actually exercise their right.

Not a Seinfeld election, but in reality, it was a Kramer election

By JIM TANKERSLEY The Washington Post One of the best episodes of “Seinfeld” was also arguably the most meta. In it, Jerry and George are dreaming up a TV show to pitch to NBC. They’re eating, they’re riffing about salsa, and, boom, George declares they have a plot.

“Just talking?” Jerry asks. “Well, what’s the show about?”

“It’s about nothing,” George says.

“No story?” Jerry says.

“No, forget the story.”

“You gotta have a story.”

“Who says you gotta have a story?”

For months, this is what

political reporters told us about the 2014 midterm elections: There’s no story. It’s an election about nothing.

Tuesday night proved them wrong. We know from exit polls that this was quite clearly an election about something – and that something appears to have been voter anger at President Barack Obama, an economy that still isn’t picking up for most people and dysfunction in Washington.

That’s a pretty simple plot, as plots go. But it’s a plot, nonetheless – it’s not as if the electorate spent Tuesday filming itself standing in line for Chinese food.

Election plots sometimes get lost on the way to Wash-

ington, though. Remember how 2008 was going to unite the country? How 2010 was going to shrink the government? How 2012 was going to revitalize the middle class?

Or, put another way, did anyone go into Election Day thinking this would be an election about repealing a tax on medical devices, negotiating new trade deals and building an oil pipeline from Canada to Nebraska?

No? Those items sit atop the agenda that Republicans laid out Wednesday for the early days of next year, when they will again control both houses of Congress. It’s a pragmatic list, as there’s a lot of bipartisan support

for all those items, and it’s a decent bet Obama would sign most or all of them into law. The same may be true of a couple items that Obama named Wednesday as his opening bids for cooperation with Republicans, most notably an overhaul of the tax code to eliminate loopholes and lower rates, although there’s a reason – read: competing lobbying pressures – that such an overhaul has stalled thus far in his presidency.

All of those proposals poll pretty well with voters. But the idea that the 2014 midterms were all about those issues ... well, not even J. Peterman could sell that.

What that adds up to,

then, is an election that was about something – just not what the public thought it was voting for. Obama is still president. There’s little evidence that Republicans and Democrats will work together on big-ticket ideas to lift the middle class. A few small compromises like medical-device tax repeal would be better than the last two years, certainly, but hardly a sign that Washington can solve problems.

What we had wasn’t a Seinfeld election at all.

It was a Kramer election – wacky, tangential and ultimately disconnected from the main plot. America is in Jerry’s apartment, trying to figure out which

of its prized possessions has been dropped in the toilet.

Washington lives in Kramer’s pad next door, chopping vegetables in the shower.

Kramer, incidentally, had his own idea for what Jerry’s NBC show should be about. “You’re the manager of the circus,” he tells Jerry, adding: “Look at the characters. You’ve got all these freaks on the show. A woman with a moustache?

I mean, who wouldn’t tune in to see a women with a moustache? You’ve got the tallest man in the world. A guy who’s just a head.”

“I don’t think so,” Jerry replies.

A show about the circus.

MORNING KICKOFF

AP photo

Cavaliers not clicking, off to rough 1-3 start LeBron James (above) looked over his shoulder, almost in disbelief.

This isn’t what he – or anyone else – imagined for the Cavaliers.

As Utah’s Gordon Hayward was mobbed by teammates after hitting a fadeaway shot over the outstretched arm of Cavaliers forward Tristan Thompson at the buzzer to beat Cleveland, 102-100, Wednesday night, James peered back incredulously at the celebration one last time.

He shook his head and walked to the locker room after a second stunning loss in 24 hours.

The Cavs: James, fellow All-Stars Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love, picked by Vegas oddsmakers to win it all, are 1-3 and look nothing like championship contenders.

Four games into the season, they are not jelling and something of a mess.

“Rome wasn’t built in a day,” James said.

Neither are NBA title teams.

Just a week into the season, the Cavaliers have major chemistry issues, a motionless offense and defensive holes they might not be able to address without making a trade or two. Rookie coach David Blatt has preached patience, but has already toyed with his starting lineup, replacing guard Dion Waiters with veteran Shawn Marion.

One day after James played passively in a loss at Portland to prove a point to his young teammates, Cleveland tied a franchise record with only six assists against Utah. According to STATS LLC, the six assists are the fewest in a game for any NBA team scoring at least 100 points since 1985-86.

Turnovers power turnaround

By STEVE NITZ snitz@shawmedia.com MUNCIE, Ind. – Northern Illinois’ defense has been shaky at times in Mid-American Conference play this season.

However, that wasn’t the case in Wednesday’s 35-21 win at Ball State.

The Huskies were able to limit Ball State tailback Jahwan Edwards and frustrate Cardinals quarterback Jack Milas.

Also, the defense which came into the contest having forced only seven turnovers was able to make a huge impact, forcing five of them.

“We just played our game, executed our plan,” said NIU senior safety Dechane Durante, who led NIU with eight tackles. “The turnovers came

The big one was cornerback Anthony Brooks’ 21yard interception return for a touchdown at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

The pick, NIU’s first defensive touchdown of the season, gave the Huskies a two-touchdown lead with 12 minutes, 58 seconds left in the game.

“He ran an out route and I saw it, and put my foot down and [took off for the end zone],” said Brooks, who had

a key pass breakup on the play before. Brooks was named the MAC West Player of the Week on Thursday.

Brooks’ pick was one of three NIU interceptions, while linebackers Jamaal Payton and Sean Folliard had fumble recoveries.

“It was good. Our defense came out and answered the bell a few times,” NIU coach Rod Carey said. “It was a really good performance by them.”

NIU was able to get pressure on Milas, although Durante said the Huskies didn’t blitz any more than they normally do.

Milas went 16 of 39 for 174 yards, and NIU’s defense was able to make him look like a freshman.

WESTERN CONFERENCE

Cutler: We believe because we must

By PATRICK FINLEY pfinley@suntimes.com The Bears broke down film of their season’s first half and showed their players the grisly results: mistakes and penalties, turnovers and losses.

Ask Jay Cutler what from that session leads him to believe the Bears’ offense will improve, and he grows philosophical.

“Because if we didn’t believe,” he said, “we might as well go home.”

The Bears are hanging onto hope – for lack of anything better. Hope doesn’t fix an offense, or Cutler. In the second half of the season, both must be better.

And neither will improve without the other.

“You look at the film, and we’re definitely doing things

to hurt ourselves,” Cutler said.

“There’s no doubt about that.

So if we clean up some of this stuff and get a few breaks here and there, there’s no reason why we couldn’t.”

Cutler admitted there’s pressure to play a better back nine, even as offensive coordinator Aaron Kromer described him as “refreshed” by the bye week.

“I think all quarterbacks throughout the league put a lot of pressure on themselves, look at themselves as leaders of the team and energize guys throughout the week, and get everyone Sunday ready to play,” Cutler said.

It’s never in starker relief than against the Packers. Cutler has beaten them only once, but Thursday couldn’t find a common reason why.

“Different circumstances every time,” he said.

Still, Bears coaches and Cutler’s teammates fell all over themselves Thursday to call Cutler simply one of 11 players that must improve for the offense to get better.

“The thing about playing quarterback in the National Football League is you’re relying on 10 other guys,” Kromer said. “You’re not shooting a free throw in a basketball game.

You’re actually relying on a guy to block. You’re relying on a guy to run the route right.

“You’re relying on everyone to get lined up correctly. It’s impossible, really, to feel like it’s one guy.

“The off week showed us that it’s not one guy. And [it’s] what we knew already, but it

emphasized it, and we’re able to emphasize to each guy, individually.”

With the worst rush defense in the NFL awaiting them in Green Bay on Sunday, the Bears’ wing-and-a-prayer hopes will involve less of Cutler’s wing.

Almost to a man Thursday, the Bears said they would rely more on running back Matt Forte, who ran 22 times for 123 yards in the first meeting.

“We can’t get into a heavy pass situation, where we’re pass-pass-pass, and try to get some quick ones and put points up quickly,” Cutler said. “We have to just be patient.

“Whether it’s 7-0 or 0-0 or 10-3, we gotta keep to the game plan.”

EASTERN CONFERENCE

LAKE FOREST – Fifteen plays, 80 yards, seven points and 8:30 off the clock.

That’s the ideal offensive drive, especially against the Packers, and it was how the Bears opened their Week Four game against Green Bay. The game plan that day was obvious – run the ball, keep Aaron Rodgers off the field and get touchdowns. Unfortunately, two stalled drives in the red zone put the Bears behind the eight-ball, and the Packers took over.

Matt Forte carried the ball 17 times in the first half of that contest for 80 yards, and it’s no secret the Bears want to feed him not only on Sunday night, but more in the second half of the season to get the offense back on track.

“Just commitment to the run and also, obviously our offensive line controlling the front of their defense,” Forte said about what worked in the first half of the 38-17 loss. “If we can do that, it sets up a lot of different things that we can do. The difference is, this game, when we get down tight in the red zone, instead of getting field goals we’ve got to get seven points this time.”

The Bears’ Matt Forte gains 25 yards after catching a pass late in the fourth quarter last month at Soldier Field in Chicago.

Green Bay is dead-last in the league in run defense. They’re allowing 4.8 yards a carry and have given up more than 190 yards rushing three times, including a season-high 235 to the Bears. The Packers lost the other two games, but those teams – the Seahawks and Saints – were a combined 4-for-5 scoring touchdowns in the red zone.

The Packers and Dom Capers certainly are not dumb.

They know their weakness, and they know the benefits the Bears reap by committing to the run, so that presents a potential challenge for Forte – running the ball against a defense that knows it’s coming.

The Bears’ top offensive player said if they get stopped,

they have to be flexible.

“If they know we’re trying to run the ball, they might have something set up to stop the run, so we can’t run our head into a brick wall,” Forte said.

“If they’re trying to gear it up to try and do that, we kind of have to take what they’re giving us and keep them off balance.

“If they’re trying to hone in on one thing that you’re doing, you can’t try to force it. So to keep them off balance, you run plays where they don’t know if you’re going to run or pass out of it. Or a running formation that you throw the ball out of as well.”

Injury update: Pretty much status quo at Thursday’s practice, which was held inside the Walter Payton Center because of strong winds that would impact the team’s cameramen.

Darryl Sharpton (hamstring) did not practice, and Martellus Bennett (ribs) was limited.

BROWNS 24, BENGALS 3

Browns beat Cincy, move into first-place tie

By JOE KAY The Associated Press CINCINNATI – Andy Dalton’s harried look summed it up. Cleveland’s defense was all over him all night long, turning an AFC North showdown into a shockingly one-sided matchup.

With every sack and every interception, the Browns showed they’re for real.

Cleveland improved on its best start in 20 years by taking full advantage of Dalton’s miserable night Thursday, beating the Cincinnati Bengals 24-3 and ending one of its most enduring streaks of futility.

The Browns (6-3) moved into a first-place tie with Pittsburgh.

Just like the Browns, the Bengals (5-3-1) were trying to break away from some bad fran-

chise history. They’ve played some of their worst games in prime time and wanted to show they were finally ready to hold up under the national attention.

Instead, they crumbled along with their quarterback.

Dalton was 10 of 33 for 86 yards with three interceptions and two sacks. It was another big-game meltdown for the fourth-year quarterback, who

has led his team to the playoffs three years in a row only to lose opening games all three times.

Cincinnati fell to 18-41 in prime time.

The game marked the first since 1986 – when Bernie Kosar and Boomer Esiason were the quarterbacks – that the intrastate rivals played with first place on the line so late in the season.

Barbs coming off close win in opener Carey: Defense shutting down • DEKALB Continued from page B1 20 touchdowns this year.

“We’re similar to what DeKalb does in terms of overall scheme, and similar on defense,” Barry said. “But (Brown’s) a heck of an athlete, there’s no question. They have a D-I talent on offense, but we have a junior D-lineman that is a D-I player.”

Barry said Josh King is already getting looks from “USC to Penn State to everywhere in between.” Weckler said Matt Brandeis is also fearsome on the line for the Hornets (8-2), who entered the playoffs as a No. 10 seed and beat No. 7 Crystal Lake Central 38-15.

The No. 2 Barbs (9-1) started strong in their opener against No. 15 Marmion Academy, but had to hold on for a 21-20 win.

The Cadets missed a field goal with 3.2 seconds left. Tonight’s winner will advance to face the winner of Saturday’s battle between No. 3 Lakes and No. 6 St. Francis.

Weckler said the coaching staff has been warning the players about letting their opponents keep it close, and Brown said the message is being received.

“When you’re up on your opponent, just put them away,” Brown said. “Don’t let them hang around otherwise stuff like that can happen.”

Quarterback Robby Regan is the main source of offense for the Hornets, throwing for 763 yards and running for a team high 650 yards and 14 touchdowns. Ravon Johnson is the main deep threat, with 17 catches for 367 yards and six of the team’s seven touchdowns through the air.

The Barbs will have their deep threat Rudy Lopez back.

Lopez left the Marmion game with a bruised sternum. Weckler said Brown – who missed almost all of the Barbs’ regular-season finale with an upper body injury – may return to his spot at safety. Last week, he only played defense on the final three drives.

The Hornets have surrendered an average of 13.7 points a game this year, while the Barbs have scored an average of 34.5 points a game, although only 20.5 during the past four.

“DeKalb is a team that has some great athletes on it, led by their running back,” Barry said. “We’ve seen some film and read some stories and know that DeKalb’s offense is pretty dynamic. Our defense is pretty strong, so we feel like it’s a good matchup.”

Ball State RB Edwards was key Continued from page B1 “I think our offense jumped out on him, made him get in situations where he had to throw the ball,” Durante said.

“We played good coverage on the back end. Quarterback, he stared down a lot of receivers, which a lot of freshman quarterbacks do. That gave us opportunity to jump routes, close faster. We just played a good game.”

Carey said the key was holding the Cardinals’ run

Continued from page B1 to block big defensive tackles, and downfield too.”

The No. 2 seed Barbs (91) travel to Darien to face 10th-seeded Hinsdale South (82) in the second round of the IHSA 6A playoffs. The game begins at 7 p.m. tonight.

DeWeese the offensive lineman will be challenged

by Hinsdale South’s 6-foot6, 243-pound defensive tackle Josh King, a junior who’s drawn interest from Division I schools. DeWeese said working on the fundamentals

in practice will lead to what needs to happen for DeKalb to win.

“We have to dominate the line of scrimmage,” DeWeese said. “If we can establish our game we’ll do well.”

Weckler said he hopes the Barbs’ usual scheme proves effective against the Hornets.

“We don’t block a guy that we think is very good that we can’t block or [who] will be very difficult to block,” Weckler said. “We kind of let him take himself out of the play.

That’s the style of our offense.

We basically read him, make him make decisions, and do the opposite. Hopefully, we

can get that done.”

As with most teams, Weckler said the offensive line has been a big piece of the Barbs’ offensive success this year.

“If we can’t get blocks done at the point of attack, it changes the scheme we want to run,” Weckler said. “We want to start pounding the inside first. If we’re able to do that, that means our guys up front are doing a good job. If you see us going more perimeter-type stuff, that means those guys are having trouble. For the most part this year we’ve been able to establish the line of scrimmage and get the ball going between the tackles.”

Hawks need production Sharp will miss next 3 to 4 weeks with knee

By MARK LAZERUS

Next

mlazerus@suntimes.com Peter Regin plus David Rundblad does not equal Patrick Sharp. The Blackhawks know this.

So with Sharp out “probably three to four weeks,” according to coach Joel Quenneville, it’s going to fall on everyone to fill the void left by the Hawks’ most prolific shooter, scorer and power-play point man.

“It’s not just going to be one guy that steps up and makes up for a player like Sharpie,” Patrick Kane said. “It’s just not going to happen. It’s going to have to a whole group effort.”

Sharp suffered an apparent knee injury Tuesday night in Montreal. It came in the third period on a hit in the corner

by Alexei Emelin – just as the long-dormant Hawks offense finally was coming to life. The Hawks on Thursday recalled Regin from Rockford, where he was tied for the team lead in points with four goals and six assists. Brandon Saad moved up from the fourth line to the second line, taking Sharp’s spot on the left wing alongside Andrew Shaw and Marian Hossa. Meanwhile, Brad Richards moves up to Sharp’s spot

BULLS

4-1 Bulls still see lots of room to improve

By JOE COWLEY

Next

jcowley@suntimes.com It hasn’t sounded like a 4-1 team.

“We’ve been dodging bullets,’’ coach Tom Thibodeau commented, after the latest Bulls win Wednesday.

Thibodeau was talking about his squad once again losing the rebound battle, this time to Milwaukee. However, he could have been talking about any number of concerns with this team.

“We haven’t even done it yet,’’ guard Derrick Rose said, when asked about him and his teammates clicking on all cylinders. “We’ve had games where we’ve played really good basketball, but defensively we haven’t done it.

“Offensively, we’re fine, we’re scoring a lot of points, but we know this year it’s all about defense, and that will hopefully get us to a championship.’’

Nitpicking?

Maybe, especially since the good this team has shown just five games into the season has far outweighed the bad.

Joakim Noah playing on one good knee and then battling flu-like symptoms, the daily Rose drama, losing the rebounding battle in fourstraight games … yet, they will go into Philadelphia tonight moving closer to full strength, as well as once again playing a very winna-

at Philadelphia, 6 p.m. today, CSN, AM-1000 ble game.

“Oh yeah, we just really learned from that Cleveland [loss],’’ forward Taj Gibson said. “We just learned from it.’’

That learning starts in the middle, as the returning core of Bulls players are starting to figure out how valuable the addition of Pau Gasol just might be.

“We practice hard, we challenge each other in practice, and I just feel like he’s really in a groove right now, he’s back to his old tricks, he’s motivated,’’ Gibson said of Gasol, and his practice battles with the two-time NBA champion. “That’s good for us. It’s a real good thing when you can just throw the ball down low and know you’re going to get something out of it, either a foul or a good shot to the basket.’’

In other words, the antithesis of the Carlos Boozer Era. Not only is Gasol, along with Mike Dunleavy, one of only two starters to answer the bell for every game, but was averaging 18.8 points – second to Jimmy Butler’s 19.7 points a game – led the team with 10.6 rebounds a game, and has 2.60 blocks a contest.

And while it’s taken a bit of time to accept the Thibodeau way, at 34 years old, he’s been as good as advertised.

“For sure, it was re-energizing decision,’’ Gasol said of life away from the Los Angeles Lakers. “That was one of the main reasons why I made a change, to rejuvenate, to re-energize, to re-motivate myself and be in a position to win. I want to help a team be a contender for a championship.’’

Enough so that Gasol has even understood the heavy workload the last two games with Noah sidelined. Forty-one minutes clocked Tuesday, and another 36 Wednesday.

“Forty [minutes a game] is probably excessive on a consistent basis, but from 3035 [a game] I’m OK with it,’’ Gasol said. “I think that’s something I actually kind of want myself, to be out there for that long.’’

As far as the 4-1 record, Gasol is obviously thrilled with it, but it comes with a warning.

“This league isn’t about five games, 10 games or 20 games,’’ Gasol said. “You have to do it consistently throughout a season. And not just when you feel great but when you’re banged up. It’s always good to start off well, but now you have to build on it and keep getting better.’’

vs. Washington, 7:30 p.m. today, CSN+, AM-720 on the first power-play unit, and Rundblad and Michal Rozsival will rotate in Richards’ spot on the second unit.

That’s the ripple effect created by losing a player of Sharp’s caliber and versatility.

“It’s going to be hard,” Hossa said. “But on the other hand, somebody else has a chance to step in. Somebody else is going to have more ice time. I’m sure there are lots of hungry guys to fill that spot.”

Count Regin among those hungry guys. After playing 17 regular-season games and five playoff games with the Hawks last season after a trade from the New York Islanders in January, Regin was ecstatic to re-sign over the summer. But he didn’t make the team out of training camp, cleared waivers and was sent to Rockford.

“It was a tough couple of days,” Regin said. “It wasn’t what I expected. … But after the first couple of days I kind of got over the disappointment and started thinking what I could do to get myself back.”

With 10 points in 11 games, including two overtime goals – including one Tuesday – Regin caught the Hawks’ attention.

Quenneville said “six or seven guys” were under consideration to be called up in the wake of Sharp’s injury, but Regin provides experience (239 games with the Hawks, Islanders and Ottawa Senators), familiarity with the team and versatility, as he can play all three forward positions.

Regin will play on the fourth line with Richards and Jeremy Morin, but hopes his hot start will translate to the NHL. “Obviously, it’s a different level, and you can’t do all the same things,” he said. “I’m not going to get the same amount of ice time. I probably played close to 20 minutes down there with a lot of PP and stuff – I don’t expect that tomorrow [against Washington]. But it’s nice to see the puck go in a couple of times, and make some passes. And I think mentally that gives you some confidence that you can make plays, even if this is a higher level, I feel confident right now that I can help this team out.”

He’d better be. Along with everyone else in the room.

NFL

Peterson must wait for decision DAVE CAMPBELL Associated Press MINNEAPOLIS — If Adrian Peterson is allowed to return to the Minnesota Vikings this season, the reunion probably won’t happen swiftly.

The NFL formally began a review of the star running back’s case for potential punishment under the league’s personal conduct policy, informing Peterson on Thursday that his status on paid leave from the Vikings will not change until completion of the process.

“The NFL has requested that Peterson submit relevant information regarding his case and meet with designated experts who will make recommendations for the commissioner’s consideration,” spokesman Brian McCarthy said. “Peterson also will have the opportunity to have a hearing prior to the issuance of any discipline.”

Peterson pleaded no contest Tuesday in Texas to misdemeanor reckless assault, down from a felony charge of child abuse for disciplining his 4-year-old son with a wooden switch. He received what’s essentially two years of probation, plus a $4,000 fine and requirement to complete parenting classes and 80 hours of community service.

“Adrian wants to get on with his life and have his relationship with his son and get back to playing football,” Peterson’s attorney, Rusty Hardin, said after the plea agreement was reached to avoid a trial or any jail time for the 29-year-old.

Just how fast Peterson gets back to playing football is a complicated and potentially contentious matter.

A few hours after the NFL

released its update, the NFL Players Association issued a statement demanding efficiency and consistency. Those traits have often been missing from the disciplinary process.

“Our union worked with the NFL, the Minnesota Vikings and Adrian’s representatives on a mutual agreement pending the adjudication of his legal case. Now that his legal matter is resolved, we believe it is Adrian’s right to be treated in a manner that is consistent with similar cases under our collective bargaining agreement. We will pursue any and all remedies if those rights are breached,” the NFLPA said.

The Vikings (4-5) are in their bye week, scheduled to reconvene for practice Monday. They play next Nov. 16 at Chicago.

With only seven games left on the schedule, the timeline is tight for a return. Commissioner Roger Goodell was excoriated for his initial leniency in the caught-on-camera

knockout punch Baltimore running back Ray Rice threw at his now-wife. The league boss will be under intense scrutiny for how he handles any punishment for Peterson.

Weeks after handing Rice a two-game suspension, Goodell announced in August he was toughening the league’s policy on domestic violence that now calls for a six-game suspension without pay for a first domestic violence offense.

That’s not a cut-and-dry guideline in this case with Peterson, though, because he has maintained he intended no harm in seeking to discipline his son the way he was as a child growing up in Texas.

His plea was not an admission of guilt, and the felony was reduced to a misdemeanor.

On the other hand, there’s the firestorm to consider when the Vikings first declared on Sept. 15 that Peterson, after sitting out the home opener the day before, would remain with the team to give him his due process in the legal system.

NFL

League to stage 3 more games in London in 2015 LONDON – The NFL will stage three more regular-season games at Wembley Stadium in London again next season, including the first-ever division game in England.

The schedule also includes games played on consecutive Sundays in London for the first time.

The Miami Dolphins will return to London for a third time to face the New York Jets on Oct. 4 in an AFC East matchup.

The Jacksonville Jaguars will play the Buffalo Bills on Oct. 25. And, the following week, the Detroit Lions will be back for the second year in a row to face the Kansas City Chiefs on Nov. 1.

The Dolphins, Jaguars and Chiefs will be the “home” teams. The Bills, Chiefs and Jets will play regular-season games in Britain for the first time.

“It is an honor for Kansas City to represent the NFL on an international stage,” Chiefs president Mark Donovan said

in a statement. “We are excited for the opportunity this creates for our fans, our city and the global growth of the Chiefs brand.”

The league will play the last of three games this year on Sunday when the Dallas Cowboys take on the Jacksonville Jaguars. Earlier this season, the Miami Dolphins beat the Oakland Raiders and the Detroit Lions defeated the Atlanta Falcons.

This season was the first time the league played three games at Wembley. There

were two games last season, and one in each of the previous six seasons.

The Jaguars have agreed to play a home game in London for four years through 2016.

The game times for next year’s games will be announced at a later date.

This year’s Lions-Falcons game kicked off at 1:30 p.m. in London, making it the earliest televised NFL game in the U.S. at 9:30 a.m. on the east coast and 6:30 a.m. on the west coast.

All other games have started in the evening London time.

Territorial dispute develops after teen leaves Dear Abby: My husband and I have been married for eight years. We have no children of our own, but he has an 18-year-old daughter from a previous relationship who has been coming over every other weekend and holidays since she was 10. Even though she lives with her mother, she has a dedicated room that’s packed to the gills with her clothes, games, toys, etc.

I would like to repurpose her room now that she is off to college. My husband says no.

We don’t have a guest bedroom, so I feel strongly that it makes no sense to keep her room intact when we could use the extra space. I have made many sacrifices as a

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips stepmother over the years, and feel I deserve to finally stretch out a bit and enjoy the extra space. By the way, all the furniture in her room happens to be mine, and her room used to be my guest room before we got married.

My friends agree with me, but my husband says he needs “time to adjust.” I’m really upset and would like an objective opinion. AM I being unreasonable or asking too much too soon? – Frustrated in Florida

Dear Frustrated: If you want peace and tranquility under your roof, my advice is to slow down and don’t jump the gun.

Your husband appears to be suffering from a form of empty nest anxiety right now. Let this play out for another year or two, so he can see how little his daughter will be using that room. It would also be better for her not to feel that the minute she left town you dismantled “her” room. If you’ll be patient, and trust me on this, you’ll look like a saint. If you don’t, you may come across as heavy-handed and be labeled a wicked stepmother.

Dear Abby: My husband and I are friendly with our

neighbors. We’re all smokers, but they don’t smoke inside and we do.

It seems like they have decided that coming to our house EVERY DAY to hang out is acceptable, which normally wouldn’t be a problem. But they come in, sit on our couch and don’t say a word to us.

Their eyes are glued to their tablets or cellphones instead.

They respond to our attempts at conversation with grunts, never looking up from their entertainment. They’ll stay for an hour or so, then leave.

I have the feeling they’re using our house as a “smoking room” so they won’t have to stand in the cold or be away

ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff Now to “phyto.” The word comes from the Greek word for “plant.” And that’s primarily where you can find phytonutrients – in plant foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, dried beans and nuts.

These natural compounds give plants their color, flavor, smell and texture.

Phytonutrients are powerful and healthy substances to include in your diet. There is growing evidence that they play a crucial role in helping to maintain human health and prevent a number of diseases, such as macular degeneration and some cancers.

There are as many as 2,000 known phytonutrients. Some of the more well-known phytonutrients are isoflavones (in soy); lignans (in flaxseed and whole grains); carotenoids, such as beta-carotene (in carrots and dark, leafy greens), lutein and lycopene (in brightly colored fruits and vegetables); and flavonoids (in red-blue tinted fruits).

On my website, AskDoctorK.com, I’ve put a table listing additional types of phytonutrients, foods you can find them in and their health benefits.

Choosing colorful foods (M&Ms don’t count) helps ensure that you get as many phytonutrients as possible.

Typically, the deeper the color, the more phytonutrients present in the food. Notable

exceptions are cauliflower, garlic and onions, and whole grains, which contain plenty of these healthful substances.

The growing interest in phytonutrients has created a vast supply of supplements lining store shelves. But in general, a pill can’t do what diet can. Getting your phytonutrients from plant-based foods ensures that you’ll get a variety of nutrients that work well together. For example, a single serving of vegetables may provide more than 100 different phytonutrients. The crucial interaction of these phytonutrients is generally lost when you’re getting only one or two substances in a pill.

To maximize your intake of phytonutrients: • Eat phytonutrient-rich foods frequently throughout

• Write Dear Abby at www.

the day. This helps keep blood levels of these components constant and ultimately more effective.

• Eat at least five to nine servings a day of fruits and vegetables.

• Create a meal around vegetables and fruits. Fill half your plate with color.

• Savor the skins of the fruits and vegetables you eat, assuming you like the taste.

The skins often are rich in phytonutrients.

• Regularly include a wide array of whole grains in your diet.

• Cook your vegetables if that’s how you prefer to eat them. Most phytonutrients are heat-stable.

A girl is allowed only one husband at a time Dr. Wallace: Is it possible to love two guys at the same time? I honestly can’t choose between a boy who attends my school and a boy who goes to my church. I’m dating both guys and if I had to pick one over the other, I couldn’t do it. I imagine that eventually one might win my heart more than the other, but that’s not the case right now. My best friend keeps telling me that true love is reserved for only one. What’s your opinion? – Susan, San Jose, California Susan: When you’re a teenager, “being in love with two people at once is not only possible, it’s healthy.” So says New York psychotherapist Judy Freedman, one of a number of deep thinkers

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace on this topic I consulted so I could give you a considered answer. Turns out you’re on good footing with all of them.

Carol Botwin, author of “Love Lives: Why Women Behave the Way They Do in Relationships,” says that being open to more than one person at a time is part of learning what living and loving are all about. When a teen dates two people at the same time, she adds, she is allowing herself to experiment and grow, and that, of course, is all to the good.

ASTROGRAPH

Dr. Pearl Goodman, a psychologist, says that one of the tasks of the teen years is to experience feelings of love outside the family, and it’s not surprising that teens often fall in love with two people at one time. And author Mary Kellogg feels it is quite normal for teens to be attracted to more than one person at a time, confessing that she found herself in love with two very different boys at one point during high school.

So I can tell you on good authority, Susan, that being in love with two people at the same time, at your age, is not only possible, it’s desirable.

But alas, all good things must come to an end! A girl is permitted only one husband

Dr. Wallace: What’s better for college acceptance, very high grades and no extra activities, or good grades and participation in many high school activities? My parents and I disagree. I’m in the 10th grade. – Susan, Ames, Iowa Susan: Somehow I think you favor the extra-curricular plan for college entrance.

But it is possible to earn the highest grades and to also participate in an activity program.

Is this as rude as I think it is? – Puffing Mad in Maine Dear Puffing Mad: Yes, it is. Although you and your neighbors are all smokers, it appears you have little else in common. You say your husband is going to say something “soon.” I recommend he speak up the next time these people show up and “suggest” that they leave their electronic devices at home. What boors!

Phytonutrients add color to healthful diet Dear Dr. K: You’ve mentioned phytonutrients in a few recent columns. What are they? And what can they do for our health?

Dear Reader: Let’s begin by breaking “phytonutrients” into its two parts. First, “nutrients.” These are chemicals in our environment that we need to get inside our body, usually through eating foods that contain them. Nutrients are a necessary part of our body chemistry. Indeed, many are necessary for the life of most living things.

Nutrients include carbohydrates, proteins and fats.

They also include metals – such as iron, copper, iodine and zinc – and vitamins. I’d call oxygen and water nutrients, too.

ADVICE & PUZZLES 5

activity and 76 percent were involved in two or more.

Top students usually have many school interests and participate in activities they enjoy. Colleges and universities, including Harvard, Yale and Stanford, look favorably on students who participated in a variety of school activities while still maintaining good grades. Such participation demonstrates a well-rounded student.

Since you are in the 10th grade, you still have time to earn top grades and still be a well-rounded student. Do your best to achieve that goal.

CROSSWORD

Game full of possibilities Mark Twain said, “Truth is stranger than fiction, but that is because fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; truth isn’t.”

A bridge deal is full of possibilities, some fact (what actually happened) and some fiction (what might have happened). This deal is a good example. It could be played in a duplicate, and each table would have a different auction or card-play sequence.

First, after North passes, should East open three clubs?

This would normally promise a seven-card suit, but as there is no weak two in clubs, many pairs would start with three clubs, even in second position (where one tends to be the most conservative), because the suit is so strong.

When this board was originally played, East passed, South opened one diamond, and West produced a twospade weak jump overcall, not caring that he held four hearts. North made an aggressive raise to three diamonds.

Now South should have shut his eyes and bid three notrump. Yes, that contract can be defeated if West leads a club, but why should he?

However, South tried for game with four diamonds and North passed, of course.

West chose the interesting lead of his singleton trump (instead of the spade king).

What should South have done?

Declarer started with nine top tricks: one spade, three hearts and five diamonds. So he immediately conceded a club to arrange a club ruff in his shorter trump hand for a sixth diamond trick. As the cards lay, he could not gain two ruffs for 11 tricks. If you are curious, try it.

Pastor Jen Zerby will be installed as the pastor of Hillcrest Covenant Church on Sunday. Church members selected Zerby, 34, to be the pastor in August. She has been the associate at the church since 2010.

ministry, she said she had never planned to be a senior pastor. So after church members asked her to consider the role, she took weeks before she finally decided to trust in God. “I’ve never doubted my call,” Zerby said. “I doubt myself all the time. In those moments of doubting myself I just kind of remember that God is a lot bigger than my own fear and my own doubt and that doing ministry was never about me or about what I can or cannot do.

It’s more about my willingness to be used by God.” The church hosted several town halls where they could talk to her and discern for themselves, though Zerby was always the clear choice, office administrator Diane Kevin

said. The church nearly unanimously approved Zerby in August.

“I think she’s incredibly wise,” Kevin said. “I find her warm and caring and she loves the Lord, which is an important thing.”

Church Chairman Greg Howells felt so confident, he started talking to Zerby in April or May about becoming the pastor, knowing that former pastor Steve Larson would soon leave. Howells said he recognized Zerby’s talent in communicating with members of the church family, teaching and connecting.

“I knew she was gifted and talented enough to do what she’s doing before she did,” Howells said. “She might have had some doubts, but I never did.”

The October meeting of the Sandwich Preschool Parent Advocacy Group focused on fire safety.

Somonauk-Leland-Sandwich FFA members Rayann Gilchrist and Jenna Baker supervise children playing in the corn box at the Foods Resource Bank harvest event.

FFA members help feed Third World countries On Oct. 18, 12 FFA members volunteered to educate the public on agriculture and to raise money to feed Third World countries by helping at the Food Resource Bank harvest event in Sheridan.

FFA members helped with a cider press, tractor races, corn box for kids to play in, plus they sold pumpkins and worked at a beekeeping table. A number of local churches came together to put on this annual event

that raises money through auctioning pies, selling food and other related activities.

Communities across the United States work together to help Food Resource Bank end world hunger. The Food Resource Bank funds food in more than 30 countries by supporting farmers in those countries with resources and education. Agriculture is emphasized as the foundation to alleviating poverty and hunger.

Preschoolers and their parents invited to meet The Preschool Parent Advocacy Group offers opportunities for children from the area to get together and play while their parents meet other parents of preschool-aged children.

There also are monthly gatherings on Monday evenings that are fun for children and informative for parents. Speakers discuss such topics as good reading habits, healthy eating and kindergarten readiness.

While the speakers talk to the adults, the children do a separate fun activity.

The October topic was fire safety, and the Sandwich Fire Department cooperated by allowing children to explore a fire truck and ambulance, answering questions, and

distributing safety materials with Sparky the Fire Dog. The group gathers at McDonald’s Play Land in Sandwich once a month on Thursday afternoons so the children can play together while the adults talk to other parents.

Miss Kyrie at the Sandwich Library holds a special story time once a month on Monday afternoons for the group that includes stories, crafts and literacy activities.

This group is open to families with preschool children who live in the Sandwich area. All events are free and snacks are provided.
