Aldermen to discuss tax increase DeKalb city officials debate move toward fully funding pension obligations

By KATIE DAHLSTROM kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com DeKALB – The average DeKalb homeowner could see their property taxes rise by nearly $50 next year if the city of DeKalb moves toward fully funding its pension obligations through property taxes.

Current city practice draws more than $720,000 a year from the city’s general fund to cover obligations to the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund, more than 70 percent of the annual costs. City Manager Anne Ma-

rie Gaura said in her budget memo this year she would try to move the city away from this practice.

The option the City Council will see at its meeting Monday calls for a 10 percent increase

in property taxes in order to bring in $7 million, a $480,000 increase over last year, that would allow the city to fully fund police and fire pensions, more of social security and start to phase Anne Marie in contribu- Gaura tions to the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund. The levy would cost the owner of a $150,000 home $49 more a year, according to doc-

uments from Finance Director Cathy Haley.

“It’s a transparent way for the taxpayers to see where their money is going,” Haley said. “And property taxes are a reliable source of revenue for those state and federally mandated obligations we have.”

The actual increase will depend on the increases in police and fire pensions, as well as what aldermen decide, Haley said. But under the Truth in Taxation Act, city officials have to receive and file the estimated levy at least 20 days before the

actual levy ordinance is passed.

This year, aldermen will set the levy Dec. 8. Before then, they will hold a joint meeting with the finance committee, a public hearing and a first reading.

Finance Advisory Committee member Mike Peddle said when the committee met Oct. 29, most of his peers supported the option that would add around $50 to the property tax bill of someone who owned a $150,000 home. Committee members also supported a third option that would result in a $20 annual increase for the

average homeowner.

The discussion is far from over, both Haley and Peddle said. Staff have told finance committee members that city streets and fleet replacement also needs millions in additional funding. The council and finance advisory committee members will meet Thursday to discuss the city’s finances.

“There’s no easy decision to be made,” Peddle said. “It’s pretty evident something is going to happen so we are able to spend some increased revenue in some targeted areas.”

SCARCERESOURCE DeKalb County school districts coping with substitute shortage

Plans to have commissioners fill open seat

By KATIE DAHLSTROM kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com DeKALB – DeKalb Park Board Commissioner Per Faivre plans to resign from the board, but not in time for his seat to be up for election in April.

Faivre expects to move out of DeKalb in early December after the pending sale on his house has closed. He said he purchased a home closer to his job at Waukesha, Wisconsin-based Spancrete, where he has worked for more than a year.

Although he said he has not discussed it with his fellow board members, Faivre would like to resign after the deadline has passed for his seat to come up for election, which is Dec. 5. According to Ken Menzel, the deputy general counsel for the Illinois State Board of Elections, if Faivre resigns with fewer than 123 days before the next election, the board will appoint someone to fill his seat until 2017.

Faivre said knowing there are two other seats on the five-member board up in April, he wants someone to be in place and not have to face an election. Faivre was elected to a six-year term as one of three new board members in April 2013.

Permanent substitute teacher Raechel Striedl follows Chris Lapeyre’s AP Humanities III class to the library Monday at DeKalb High School. Striedl has been a permanent substitute for DeKalb School District 428 since the beginning of the school year.

By KATIE DAHLSTROM kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com DeKALB – As a permanent substitute teacher, the only thing consistent about Raechel Striedl’s days is that she spends them at DeKalb High School.

She could be an English, welding, science, and physical education teacher all in the same day, depending on which full-time teacher is ab-

sent. It’s not the ideal fit for Striedl, who graduated from Illinois State University in 2013 with a bachelor’s degree in communication education. But, it’s better than bouncing from building to Raechel Striedl building as she did last year.

“This is a nice way to get to know

the teachers, the staff, the students,” Striedl said. “This way I’m not an unfamiliar face.”

The situation also benefits DeKalb School District 428, which has had problems finding substitute teachers to fill some of the 5,600 daily teacher absences it experiences throughout the year. Data from the district show it uses 47 substitutes a day.

The weather forecast is calling for cold, and maybe even snow next week.

Weather experts such as Gilbert Sebenste at Northern Illinois University understand these things and say we might be in for another cold, snowy winter. Sebenste attributes it to warm water temperatures in the north Pacific Ocean that push air flow north into Siberia, opening the door for the jet stream to blast us with cold and snow.

At least, that’s what Sebenste tells reporter Katrina Milton in the winter edition of the DeKalb County Ag Mag that will be released this month.

It can’t be as bad as last year, when we had more than 80 inches of snow and that week in January when we had an overnight low of minus 19 and it felt like living under siege.

If you believe the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association, then we won’t have a repeat of that. But then again, they didn’t expect last year’s brutal weather either.

As removed as most of us have become from the harsh realities of survival, winter remains a test. Every new winter forces you to evaluate where you’re at physically, mentally.

At some point, no matter how prepared you are, winter will break you down. It will be early evening and already dark. That cold wind will whip up and blast you in the face, and you will wonder, “Why do I put up with this?”

Winter is not like other seasons. You have to prepare. I have tried.

Although they look like they’ll be irrelevant by then, I am curious to see the Bears play an outdoor game against the Vikings in Minneapolis in January.

I might not like being cold, but it’s interesting to watch others deal with it.

I am ready to wake up in the morning and hustle to clear the snow off the driveway before it gets all compacted and forms icy skid ways.

It’s an interesting way to start the day, the smell of gasoline exhaust from the snow thrower mingled with the wet, heavy air after a snowfall. You get a feeling of accomplishment, knowing you’ve done something – even though the wind or more snow is likely to undo it all by the time you return, in the dark, to your house.

So the ice will form anyway. At some point in January, I will probably slip and fall on it, cursing as the mail flies everywhere. One of those letters will probably be the credit card bill from Christmastime.

But it will be OK. Winter is not a prison sentence. It’s just a change in lifestyle, nature’s way of reminding us all that she’s still in charge.

I think I am ready, although I’m not exactly eager.

Daily Chronicle regrets the error.

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia – The Saudi king’s advisory council has recommended that the government lift its ban on female drivers – but only for women older than 30, who must be off the road by 8 p.m. and cannot wear makeup behind the wheel, a member of the council told The Associated Press on Friday.

The Shura Council’s recommendations are not obligatory on the government. But simply making the recommendation was a startling shift after years of the kingdom staunchly rejecting any review of the ban.

There have been small but increasingly bold protests by women who took to their cars over the past year. The driving ban, which is unique in the world, is imposed because the kingdom’s ultraconservative Muslim clerics say “licentiousness” will spread if women drive.

The council member said the Shura Council made the recommendations in a secret, closed session held in the past month. The member spoke on the condition of anonymity because the recommendations had not been made public.

Under the recommendations, only women older than 30 would be allowed to drive and they would need permission from a male relative – usually a husband

Pilot’s survival from fall ‘no minor miracle’ – but not unique

By BRIAN MELLEY The Associated Press MOJAVE, Calif. – There were no ejection seats and no easy ways out of SpaceShipTwo if disaster struck.

As the doomed flight rocketed past the speed of sound about 8 miles high and then shattered seconds later, the odds of survival were slim. Remarkably, as sections of the cockpit, fuselage, a wing and motor rained down over the Mojave Desert and pieces of the lightweight craft tiny enough to travel 35 miles were picked up by the winds, a single parachute was seen in the sky.

Pilot Peter Siebold was alive and drifting to safety.

“It’s no minor miracle that he did

survive and survive in relatively good shape,” Virgin Galactic chief executive George Whitesides said this week.

How Siebold, 43, survived the fall from extreme altitude a week ago while co-pilot Mike Alsbury, 39, died is not yet clear, but Siebold is not the first to live through such a harrowing ordeal.

Bill Weaver has Bill Weaver been telling a similar story for decades.

The former Lockheed test pilot was torn from the seat of an SR-71 Blackbird at 78,800 feet above New Mexico on Jan. 25, 1966. The plane was going

more than triple the speed of sound.

As Weaver banked into a turn, a malfunction caused one engine to lose thrust. He lost control of the jet and knew he was in trouble as the plane began to pitch and break up. He didn’t have time to be scared.

“I knew we were going to just be along for the ride,” he said.

Weaver tried to radio to the reconnaissance and navigations officer in the back seat that there was no way to safely bail out, so they should stick with the plane and eject when it got lower. But the severe gravitational forces made his speech unintelligible and then he blacked out.

The whole event to that point took two to three seconds.

When Weaver regained conscious-

ness, he first thought he was dreaming. With the face plate on his helmet iced over from temperatures as cold as minus 55, he could only see a hazy white light and in a detached sense of euphoria, he thought he was dead. He was relieved when he realized he was alive and plunging toward Earth.

“I had no idea how I got out of the airplane,” he said. “I had no idea how long I had been free falling. Had no idea how high I was or low I was.”

How Siebold got out of SpaceShipTwo is also unknown, according to National Transportation Safety Board Acting Chairman Christopher Hart, who said the pilot hadn’t been interviewed because he’s recovering from injuries originally characterized as moderate to major.

ComEd to install more street lights in DeKalb Will target Greek Row at request of city officials Nett said. “They like not to be seen. So, if we can light it up a little more we can make it harder for criminals to lurk around.”

Ill-lit streets can provide a comfortable atmosphere for people to break into cars, among other crimes, McNett said. Recently, police increased car, foot and bike patrols in the area in September after a fight at a party Sigma Alpha Epsilon was hosting on the 900 block of Greenbrier Road.

Police requested additional lighting months earlier as part of the city’s budget process. Beyond the desire to cut down on crime, police also want to make sure motorists can see parked cars and pedestrians, which also will increase safety, McNett said.

After public works employees trimmed trees to make sure the streets and sidewalks couldn’t be bright-

er with the existing lights, the city decided to move forward with the plan. The DeKalb City Council unanimously approved the additional lighting Oct. 27.

First Ward Alderman David Jacobson, who represents the mainly student-populated area, believes the additional lighting will augment NIU’s and DeKalb’s co-policing efforts to make the area safer.

“Generally, people feel unsafe in dark spaces,” Jacobson said. “In lighting those areas, people feel safer, people are safer.”

The city won’t have to pay any upfront costs to install the additional lighting.

However, the city will pay about $828 a month in electricity costs, installation and maintenance for the extra lights, which will come from a special service area tax that property owners in the area pay.

300 volunteers between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Friday and eight volunteers from noon to 2 p.m.

How to help

aazzo@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – Seven-yearold Justin Hoving loves hunting and helping others, and he recently thought of a novel idea to connect the two.

Since August, Justin has been selling the golf balls he collects near Sycamore Community Park, 940 E. State St. in Sycamore, to benefit a Sycamore Lions Club program that provides glasses to those who cannot afford them.

“It’s good exercise, and I’m really, really happy when I find one,” said Justin, who lives in Sycamore and attends first grade at West Elementary School.

So far, Justin has raised $179, but his grandfather, Joe Woodward, who helps him collect golf balls, said the goal is to reach $200 by the time the duo present a check to the Sycamore Lions Club on Wednesday. Justin even thought of a

name for the endeavor: Justin and Papa’s Golf Ball Rescuers.

Woodward is a member of the Sycamore Lions Club, but he insists that the idea to raise money for the organization was his grandson’s idea. Woodward said Justin was with him at the Sycamore Pumpkin Festival last month trying to collect donated glasses.

When Justin saw the two empty boxes where people could donate, he wanted to take off his own glasses, Woodward said.

“He’s got a big heart, and he loves helping others,” Woodward said.

Woodward and his grandson go hunting for golf balls along a fence at the Sycamore Community Park, a place that can be hard for golfers to retrieve balls themselves. Then, Justin looks at the condition of each ball before he washes and sells it.

He is selling a dozen golf balls packaged in an egg carton for $3.

The fundraiser has been so popular that Woodward said they sometimes run out of golf balls to sell. Friends and family have started to donate golf balls to allow Justin to continue selling them, Woodward said.

Justin’s stepfather Christopher Robbins said he is surprised that Justin is still dedicated to the cause.

“He has always been very giving,” Robbins said. “This shed light on it, what he’s doing and how he’s helping.”

“For a first-grader to come up with an idea like that to help others, it’s incredible,” Woodward said.

DeKALB – Greek Row is going to get a little brighter.

ComEd is going to install 16 street lights in the Greek Row area, adding to the 32 lights already in place. The new lights will run along the 800 and 900 blocks of Hillcrest, Kimberly, Edgebrook drives and Greenbrier Road.

Paul Callighan, external affairs director for ComEd, said crews are scheduled to install the lights the last week of November into the first week of December.

DeKalb city officials have asked ComEd to install them in an effort to cut down on the potential for crime and boost safety in an area with heavy pedestrian and vehicle traffic.

Supreme Court takes up ACA case Opponents argue IRS tax credit rules are illegal The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court agreed Friday to hear a new challenge to President Barack Obama’s health care law – a case that threatens subsidies that help millions of low- and middle-income people afford their health insurance premiums.

The justices said they will review a federal appeals court ruling that upheld IRS regulations that allow health-insurance tax credits under the Affordable Care Act for consumers in all 50 states. Opponents argue that most of the subsidies are illegal.

The long-running political and legal campaign to overturn or limit the 2010 health overhaul will be making its second appearance at the Supreme Court. The justices upheld the heart of the law in a 5-4 decision in 2012 in which Chief Justice John Roberts provided the decisive vote.

The case probably will

Supporters of health care reform rally March 28, 2012, in front of the Supreme Court in Washington on the final day of arguments regarding the health care law signed by President Barack Obama. The Supreme Court justices said Friday they will decide whether the law authorizes subsidies that help millions of lowand middle-income people afford their health insurance premiums. be argued the first week in March, with a decision expected by June.

White House press secretary Josh Earnest promised a vigorous defense before the high court.

“This lawsuit reflects just

another partisan attempt to undermine the Affordable Care Act and to strip millions of American families of tax credits that Congress intended for them to have,” Earnest said.

In the appeal accepted Fri-

day, opponents of the subsidies argue that the court should resolve the issue soon because it involves billions of dollars in public money.

“The need for a quick and final resolution of this question is undeniable. This ‘subsi-

dies-for-everyone’ rule affects nearly every person across the country, health insurance policyholders, workers and employers, taxpayers, and state and local governments,” said Sam Kazman, general counsel of the Competitive Enterprise Institute, which is paying for the legal challenges to the health care law.

The health care law provides taxpayer-subsidized private health insurance for people who don’t have access to coverage on the job. More than 7 million people are currently enrolled and most are getting help, which is keyed to household income and the cost of a benchmark plan.

The issue at the Supreme Court is whether the wording of the law limits insurance tax credits only to consumers who live in states that have set up their own insurance markets, known as exchanges.

Only 16 states have set up their own exchanges, the Obama administration said in court papers. In the other 34 states, more than 4.5 million people are receiving subsidies to pay their insurance premiums. And the aid is considerable, covering an average of 76 percent of the premiums.

Prices to increase slightly on Illinois health plans

By CARLA K. JOHNSON The Associated Press CHICAGO – Many Illinois consumers who bought health insurance on the year-old government-run marketplace will see modest increases in prices for 2015, and they’ll have significantly more choices when they start shopping next week, Gov. Pat Quinn’s administration announced Friday.

The lowest-cost “silver” plans will increase in price by 2.6 percent, on average, according to information re-

leased by the Illinois Department of Insurance. Most Illinois consumers signed up for silver plans last year.

Prices for the cheapest “bronze” plans will increase by an average of 11 percent.

Bronze plans, which cover fewer medical expenses and are less expensive, were selected last year by 29 percent of Illinois shoppers.

People can switch plans starting Nov. 15, and the second open enrollment season under President Barack Obama’s health care law runs through Feb. 15. Consumers

who bought coverage last year can change policies, and people without insurance can sign up.

The Obama administration said Friday that consumers will be able to “window shop” for plans starting this weekend.

In Illinois, 410 plans will be offered for 2015 coverage, compared to 165 in the first year, and state officials encouraged consumers to look carefully.

“There are more options available and our mission is to help consumers make a choice that works best for

But the company may give up some of that dominance, said David Axene of the Society of Actuaries who reviewed the Illinois information at the request of The Associated Press.

Blue Cross “got picked on by two different players at least,” Axene said, noting that Urbana-based Health Alliance Medical Plans will have the lowest-priced silver plan in much of central Illinois, and Land of Lincoln Health will have the lowest-cost silver plan in Cook County and much of southern Illinois.

Sycamore man injured in Peace Road crash SYCAMORE – A 72-year-old Sycamore man was taken to Kishwaukee Hospital in DeKalb after he turned his Chevrolet Suburban in front of a another SUV on Friday morning.

Jerome Lyons, of the 300 block of Garden Court in Sycamore, turned left from Prairie Street to go south on Peace Road about 8:30 a.m. Friday, Sycamore police Sgt. Steve Cook said. The Suburban collided with a Land Rover that a 34-year-old Maple Park woman was driving north on Peace Road, Cook said.

The driver of the Land Rover was not injured, and Lyons was treated and released.

Lyons also was charged with failure to yield at an intersection, Cook said. Peace Road was reduced to two lanes while emergency personnel worked at the scene.

12 more Illinois counties on ash-borer quarantine SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois Department of Agriculture has expanded its list of counties on the emerald ash borer quarantine list. The department Friday added twelve counties. Seven of the counties have had instances of the tree-killing beetle identified for the first time this year.

They are Logan, Menard, Peoria, Perry, Sangamon, Tazewell and Williamson counties.

The other five counties haven’t had confirmation of the beetle, but are at risk because they are bordered by at least two counties that do. Those counties are Christian, Franklin, Fulton, Jefferson and Mason counties.

The boundaries of the state quarantine now include 61 of Illinois’ 102 counties.

Emerald ash borers strike when their larvae burrow into the bark of ash trees, causing the trees to starve and die.

Ever wonder how nuclear power is generated or what happens inside a nuclear power plant control room?

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Ky. (right) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nev. (center) listen as President Barack Obama speaks during a meeting Friday with Congressional leaders in the Old Family Dining Room of the White House in Washington.

Immigration dispute boils over at lunch The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – A White House lunch aiming for cooperation boiled into a dispute with newly empowered Republicans over immigration reform Friday, with GOP leaders warning President Barack Obama to his face not to take unilateral action. The president stood unflinchingly by his plan to act.

Republicans attending the postelection lunch said they asked him for more time to work on legislation, but the president said his patience was running out. He underscored his intent to act on his own by the end of the year if they don’t approve legislation to ease deportations before then and send it to him to sign.

The GOP’s approach, three days after they won control of the Senate in midterm elections, “seemed to fall on deaf

ears,” Sen. John Cornyn of Texas said in a telephone interview. “The president instead of being contrite or saying in effect to America, ‘I hear you,’ as a result of the referendum on his policies that drove this last election, he seems unmoved and even defiant.”

“I don’t know why he would want to sabotage his last two years as president by doing something this provocative,” said Cornyn.

Obama press secretary Josh Earnest said there was no reason that executive action on immigration should kill opportunities for the president and Republicans to find common ground.

“I could stand up here and say Republicans to vote once again for the 50th time to repeal the Affordable Care Act, that that’s playing with fire or waving a red flag in front of a bull. I’m not really sure what

that means,” Earnest said.

The White House said that Obama laid out three areas where he and Congress could work together before the end of the year – emergency funding to combat the Ebola outbreak, approval of a federal budget and quick action on spending to fight the Islamic State militant group.

House Speaker John Boehner’s office said he told Obama he was ready to work with the president on a new authorization for military force against the IS group if the president worked to build bipartisan support. The White House announced soon after lunch ended that the U.S. was sending as many as 1,500 more troops to Iraq to serve as advisers, trainers and security personnel as part of the mission. Obama is also asking Congress for more than $5 billion to help fund the fight.

U.S. economy fueling strong hiring The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – Healthy job growth in the United States has reached a level of consistency unseen in nearly two decades.

In the same week that voters signaled discontent with the U.S. economy, the government issued a report that showed employers have added at least 200,000 jobs for nine straight months – the longest such stretch since 1995.

Combine it with an unemployment rate that has fallen to 5.8 percent – the lowest since 2008 – and the picture that emerged Friday was of a job market gaining increasing distance from the recession that officially ended nearly 5½ years ago.

The job gain for October was a solid 214,000, on top of a combined 31,000 more in August and September than the government had previously estimated.

The steady improvement contrasts with the struggles of economies overseas, a key reason the Federal Reserve is withdrawing its stimulus just as other central banks ramp up theirs. This week, for example, the European Central Bank opened the door wider for further help for a eurozone economy that may be on the brink of another recession.

The U.S. job market is hardly without its own weaknesses. Americans’ average hourly pay rose only slightly last month, a negative note in an otherwise solid report. Stagnant wages have been a chronic weakness in the job market since the recession ended.

Voters listed the economy as their top concern in Tuesday’s elections, and the sluggish pace of pay growth was a likely factor. Average hourly pay rose 3 cents in October to $24.57. That’s just 2 percent above the average wage 12 months earlier and barely

ahead of a 1.7 percent inflation rate.

Some economists say, however, that they’re seeing early signs of rising pay, especially as more jobs emerge in higher-paying sectors. If so, more workers could begin to enjoy thicker paychecks in coming months. A broad measure of pay and fringe benefits, which captures bonus pay that the jobs report’s gauges miss, has risen in the past six months at its fastest pace since 2008.

“We think that there is plenty of evidence to suggest that ... wage growth is accelerating,” said Paul Ashworth, an economist at Capital Economics.

The U.S. unemployment rate fell in October even as more Americans began looking for work. That suggests that more out-of-work people were encouraged by the brightening jobs picture.

“This was a great month for the American labor market,”

said James Marple, an economist at TD Bank. “The U.S. job engine is not just chugging along, it is gaining speed.”

Pay gains in some industries are outpacing the national average. For workers in the hotel, restaurant and entertainment industry, hourly pay has risen 3.5 percent in the past year. Retail pay has risen 2.6 percent. So has construction pay.

And hiring has increased in middle- and higher-paying industries, a change from earlier in the recovery when job creation. Job gains have picked up in construction, manufacturing, professional and business services, and government.

Sophia Koropeckyj, an economist at Moody’s Analytics, calculates that 34 percent of jobs gained in the July-September quarter were in mid-paying industries, up from just 21 percent a year ago.

Prosecutors drop charge Israel’s clampdown at shrine fuels Muslim fears against AC/DC’s Phil Rudd The ASSOCIATED PRESS

The ASSOCIATED PRESS

Palestinian security forces take a Hamas flag from demonstrators during a protest Friday against Israeli restrictions at Jerusalem’s Al Aqsa Mosque in the West Bank City of Nablus.

38-year-old shopkeeper in the Old City, said the restrictions on prayer at the Al-Aqsa Mosque are the last straw, adding that he hasn’t been able to attend for the past five weeks because of the age limits.

“Like the Jewish people, we pay taxes, and we don’t get anything from Israel,” he said. “They don’t let us build houses. ... If you can’t go pray, what’s after this?”

Muslims from the West Bank face even greater difficulties in reaching the shrine because they must have Israeli permits to enter Jerusalem. Those with permits pass through barbed-wire topped terminals in Israel’s separation barrier, often enduring long waits en route to the mosque.

site, stirring Muslim worries about encroachment. Under an arrangement in place since Israel’s capture of the Old City and its shrines in 1967, the sacred plateau is administered

by Muslims reporting to Jordan, while Jews have a right to visit.

Any perceived attempt to change the existing prayer arrangements at the shrine is seen by local Muslims as highly provocative.

They say they view it as another threat to their status and identity. Many Palestinian residents of the city complain of high taxes for poor municipal services, compared with those offered in Jewish neighborhoods, as well as severe restrictions on building permits.

JERUSALEM – Hundreds of Palestinians knelt on prayer carpets in a Jerusalem street Friday, faced by a cordon of Israeli riot police who blocked them from reaching Islam’s third- holiest shrine in the nearby Old City.

The worshipers eventually dispersed peacefully, but the scene highlighted the escalating tensions over the holy site – a walled, hilltop plateau known to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary and to Jews as the Temple Mount.

Israel argues that restricting access to the shrine, which has been common in recent weeks, is needed to clamp down on growing unrest in the contested city of 810,000 people. On Friday, Muslims younger than age 35 were denied entry, while restrictions were broader in preceding weeks.

Jerusalem’s Muslims, who make up about a third of the population, said the security clampdown only heightens fears that their traditional control of the holy site, home to the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the gold-topped Dome of the Rock, is under threat from Jewish zealots.

In recent weeks, senior members of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition have called for a greater Jewish presence and right to prayer on the mount, which is Judaism’s holiest

WELLINGTON, New Zealand – New Zealand authorities made an embarrassing about-face Friday when prosecutors dropped a murderfor-hire charge against AC/ DC drummer Phil Rudd, saying there was not enough evidence to proceed.

But the 60-year-old member of the popular Australian 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.

Police had initially accused Rudd of trying to arrange for a hit man to carry out two killings, and had charged him with attempting to procure murder, which comes with a maximum 10-

of a very serious allegation, which on any basis was never justified.”

Mabey said Rudd would defend the other charges against him.

Bill Hodge, a law professor at the University of Auckland, said the events suggested police had overreached.

“Usually you’d expect police to lay a basic charge, a holding charge,” he said.

“Then, maybe when they’ve got more witnesses and evidence, they could go for a more complicated charge. I don’t understand the rush.”

Hodge said Rudd could have a good case for seeking financial damages if the case against him fell apart altogether, but he may have little recourse if convicted on the threatening to kill charge.

“The file was obtained today and reviewed,” Tauranga Crown Solicitor Greg Hollister-Jones said in a statement Friday, adding he had “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 damage to his client had been incalculable and he was considering possible remedies.

“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

By MELISSA ERICKSON More Content Now Turns out that for most people, the empty nest is not as empty as previously thought.

With advances in communication (Skyping just to say hi) and more women with fulfilling careers, the empty nest can be a place to rejoice in and reclaim.

Of course, the transition to a child-free home is not a happy time for everyone, especially for single parents who suddenly find themselves on their own and for people in fragile marriages where the children held them together.

Grandparenting is great: “Now we find that we love it when our kids and grandkids come to visit, but are relieved when they go as well, as we miss our one-on-one life when they bring all their commotion home. Being empty-nesters is grand,” said Payzant.

Relationship reflection: “Your relationship with your spouse or partner will once again be front and center, which will either result in a stronger relationship between you or the decision to end your relationship and move on. The distraction and connection that children are for parents is huge, and with the kids gone the relationship will shift dramatically as your focus becomes each other once again,” said Greenthal, who blogs at Empty House, Full Mind (emptyhousefullmind. com).

On the down side: While no kids at home might mean lower food costs, “many recent empty-nesters are spending more, not less, money because their kids are in college,” Harrington said. “We still pay car insurance, and our kids are on our phone plans. Within a few years, though, as kids graduate and become independent (we hope) that financial picture should improve.”

Research suggests that the empty-nest phenomenon has been misunderstood.

For example, research at the University of California, Berkeley and the American Psychological Association showed that a majority of parents felt higher levels of marital satisfaction after children had left home.

Mary Dell Harrington, co-founder of Grown and Flown (grownandflown.com) is an expert on the subject.

She broached the topic to some of her blogger friends, who shared their personal experiences through the website GenerationFabulous.com. An empty nest also means: Less stress: “When your kids leave home, you no longer have the worry of their day-to-day well-being, both emotional and physical, front and center in your thoughts. With them living on their own, you are naturally able to let go of this constant concern,” said Sharon Greenthal, the editor in chief and co-founder of Generation Fabulous.

Living life to the max: “My son is grown, educated and married. My husband, dog and I are enjoying our life to the max,” said Suzie Rollins Mitchell, author of “Growing into Grace.” “No more being awakened after midnight or mass-quantity grocery shopping. We use his room for extra storage. Our schedule is ours. We loved raising him, but we love our life now.”

Better love life: “There are times when it feels like I am dating my husband again. It is a little odd not to have kids around, but we are happy to find that we still have plenty to discuss,” said Harrington.

“We feel like newlyweds, only older,” added Rollins Mitchell.

A tidy house: When the kids are gone, you can keep your house just as you like it and you won’t come home to your child’s laundry on the ground or dirty dishes in the sink.

“I was very glad to get rid of my daughter’s mess,” said Connie McLeod of My Creative Journey (conniemcleod. wordpress.com).

Seizing opportunities: “We spend time now thinking of things we will be able to do together, like learning to sail or traveling during September-May, a time when previously the school calendar dictated that we stay close to home,” said Harrington.

Relaxed and rested: With kids out of the house, there’s no need to stay up late waiting for them to get home, said Risa Nye, who blogs at www. zerotosixtyinoneyear. “Our weekends are much more relaxed, as are dinner hour and preparation. We became a lot more spontaneous about going out for weekend coffee or midweek dinner,” Nye said.

Lower grocery bill: “Though it took me a few months to adjust the quantities I cooked, I loved the reduced grocery store shopping and responsibilities for dinners when my son left home,” Harrington said. “A football player, he was on an all-you-can-eat food plan at school, so I was happy to let campus food service do the heavy lifting in feeding him.”

Being spontaneous: “After a couple of days of adjustment period, we got into a new routine and not only did we find fascinating things to talk about, we discovered new interests and activities, too,” said Caryn Payzant, who blogs as The Midlife Guru (themidlifeguru.com). “We love how we can be spontaneous and just get up and go. That was really difficult for me when kids were still at home.”

Faivre will be 3rd member replaced in past year “He was selected by the voters. He should have the chance to serve as long as he desires.”

• FAIVRE Continued from page A1 “It was a problem,” Faivre said. “It was tough gathering all the topics and getting up to speed that quickly where I could start to make decisions.

I wouldn’t wish that on anybody. So trying to avoid that situation again is the goal.”

When Faivre resigns, he will be the third board member to be replaced within a year. Late last year, commissioners appointed Dean Holliday to the board after commissioner Don Irving died.

His brother, Bryant Irving, was selected in April to fill the position of Mike Teboda, who resigned for health reasons.

Holliday’s and Bryant Irving’s seats are up for election in April. Both said they will run to retain them.

Raechel Striedl, a permanent substitute teacher for DeKalb School District 428, tells Chris Lapeyre’s AP Humanities III students they will still have to take their previously planned quiz Monday.

District recently approved program Continued from page A1 District leaders recently approved a program that places 11 substitutes at specific schools. Meanwhile, other districts are trying other methods to cut down on how often they count on a shrinking pool of backup teachers.

Having substitute teachers who show up to one building every day isn’t unheard of, Human Resources Director Jim Bormann said, but it’s not universal. He was inspired to create the program after scanning the district’s teacher absences and ability to fill them. In cases where the district can’t find a substitute, other teachers or administrators fill the gap.

“I tried to see if there were any days when subs were not needed,” Bormann said. “The answer was no.”

District 428’s permanent substitutes earn $95 a day for the 168-day school year, a meager $15,960 annually. They don’t receive benefits because it’s technically not a full-time job as laid out by the Affordable Care Act. The position does have some perks, however.

“If you’re consistently a

sub in the same building and you do a good job, you can bet you’re on our list to hire,” Bormann said.

Genoa-Kingston School District 424 also uses substitutes every day, who are paid $85 a day, Superintendent Joe Burgess said. Many of them are regulars, which he said cuts down on students trying to waste the day.

The district has also tried to decrease the numbers of substitutes it uses by shortening the school day Wednesday to give teachers time to meet. Before last year, teachers would have to find subs once a month so they could meet and review data.

Employing building substitutes and switching up a school day doesn’t eliminate the need for backups. Normally, the teacher will submit their absence through a computer program, which then sends a notice to any substitute who fits the assignment. The first one to respond gets to teach that day.

School districts throughout DeKalb County compete for the 300 teachers in the DeKalb Regional Office of Education’s pool. Regional Superintendent Amanda Christensen expects to see a bump in the number of substitutes, or as she likes

to call them, “guest teachers,” around December when some college students graduate. But she still expects the number to be down overall.

Last year, districts had 425 teachers to consider and the year before that there were 470 substitutes. Christensen would like to have 500.

To be part of the pool, the person has to at least have a bachelor’s degree and a substitute teaching license and pass a background check. Christensen said the county’s pool is a mixture of recently graduated students with teaching degrees, retired teachers and degree holders who didn’t plan to teach.

She’s not sure why the number has been on the decline, especially in light of the number of under- or unemployed college graduates, but Christensen hopes new training sessions she’s planning can attract more and bolster the efficacy of those who do put their names in the pool.

“Substitutes need to be prepared and confident,” Christensen said. “They have to be able to be positive and give their expectations for what the day is going to be like immediately. They don’t have time to build those expectations.”

Faivre to resign in time for the election deadline.

“My understanding is he’s going to move once his house is sold and closed and until then he’s a legal resident just like anyone else,” Young said.

“As an elected official, that’s Phil Young his decision of when he wants to step down.”

Executive Director Jason Mangum said he was unaware of Faivre’s plans, but agreed with Young.

“He was selected by the voters,” Mangum said. “He should have the chance to

serve as long as he desires.”

Faivre’s pending resignation puts commissioners under pressure to decide on a plan for renovating Hopkins Pool.

Faivre served as the chairman of the Pool Consideration Committee, which has been exploring renovation or replacement options.

During a special meeting Friday, commissioners advised staff to research a nearly $1.8 million renovation option that would keep the existing pool functional for another 15 to 20 years.

Commissioners also are open to talks with Sycamore Park District leaders about partnering on pool facilities.

OUR VIEW: THUMBS-UP, THUMBS-DOWN

Fundraising partnership lucrative

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Not voting is still voting To the Editor: So Republicans won another election cycle with the lowest voter turnout since 1942. Before Election Day, they did everything they could to discourage participation in the election from onerous restrictive voting requirements across multiple states to funding negative ads that serve only to tamp down voter enthusiasm for the entire process.

With national voter participation at about 37 percent, the Republicans combined strategy of voter suppression, voter discouragement, and the participation of their robotic voter base pays off once more.

Do I blame them for a successful strategy and coming out on top?

Not at all. I do give them credit for their absolute corruption of the democratic process and their willingness to exploit the indifference of the other side.

We Democrats like to complain that the Republicans vote against their own best interests in a sycophantic display that rivals Shakespeare’s character Caliban in the play “The Tempest.” If this can legitimately be said about Republicans, and I believe that it can be, then it is just as legitimate to say that Democrats simply do not vote, and as it turns out, to the detriment of their own interests.

Is there really a difference

between those who vote against their own interests and those that don’t even bother to vote for their own interests? Not in my opinion, one is just as ridiculous as the other. Until the day comes that Democrats start voting as lock-step as the Republicans vote, nonvoting Democrats will continue to vote for policies that hurt them directly by default.

The old excuse that “Both parties are the same” has never been further from reality. The absolute divisions between the two major political parties in this country has only increased in the last two decades. Compromise is an evil word, bipartisanship is unheard of, and government gridlock is the

norm. The next two years are predicted to be gridlock on steroids.

No matter how much anonymous money is pumped in the political process by anyone from either side, the ultimate decision is still in each voter’s hands, so is the decision to not vote.

You can blame Republicans, Democrats, anonymous donors, unions, or billionaires for the state of our politics, but if you really want to see the one person that is primarily responsible for the way things are, go find a person that did not bother to vote or if that person is you, find the nearest mirror.

Ted Moen DeKalb

Voters were phoning it in on Election Day With so much at stake, millions of Americans still did not participate in the midterm elections this week.

When the governing structure of our nation was put together, the Founders were excited about the prospect of a nation that placed the needs and desires of its citizens on a higher pedestal than those of the government itself. They also warned that it might be difficult to maintain such a government without it morphing into the usual “government knows best” model in place in most other countries of the world.

Some may think that a government that seldom interferes with the lives of its citizens and encourages entrepreneurship, growth, personal responsibility and independence is only wishful thinking and not practical. (They have resigned themselves to the ever increasing and controlling government we have now.) Nevertheless, the early years of America had such a government, and as a result, the nation rose from the habitat of an assorted group of courageous intellectuals supported by a ragtag militia in 1776 to the most dominant economic power in the world in less than 100 years.

What has created the malaise that characterizes so many potential American voters today? I have encountered hundreds of thousands of my fellow citizens on the road over the past year, and I have been struck by the level of animosity toward both

VIEWS Ben S. Carson major political parties and the feeling that nothing will improve – regardless of which party is in power. There is also a massive lack of trust in our federal government, which greatly dampens enthusiasm for voter participation. Many others feel that their single vote means nothing. Therefore, exercising their civic responsibility is a waste of time.

The real question for conservatives after the gains they have made is whether they are going to put forth an aggressive agenda with the goals of spurring economic growth, reestablishing global leadership, and providing encouragement and mechanisms for the downtrodden to capitalize on the ideas of personal responsibility. They also should propose a well-defined and intelligible alternative to Obamacare, develop our abundant natural resources in an environmentally friendly way, and reform the monstrous tax code, among other things. Or are they simply going to try to block additional unconstitutional executive action and hope this will further endear them to the populace?

The problems we face are too serious and too numerous to put off addressing them until 2016. If we capitulate to frustration

and tune out of the political process, we automatically further empower those who wish to fundamentally change our nation.

Those of us with common sense and who love the values and principles that made us a great nation must not grow weary of the struggle that is required to ensure freedom and prosperity.

We must strive to re-involve the masses of our compatriots who have given up, using the promise of a nation where “we the people” compel the government through the political process in place to conform to our will. The next couple of years should be focused on citizen involvement and political activism in order to put forth a vision for our nation.

I don’t blame my fellow citizens for being discouraged, given the radical changes forced upon our society by a vocal minority.

Let us use that discouragement as the impetus to discard the laissez-faire attitudes that have permitted these fundamental changes in our identity. In doing so, we can reclaim the zeal that characterized our predecessors, who persuaded those within their spheres of influence to actively participate in the shaping of a great nation.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Thumbs-up: To pooling fundraising efforts. For the fourth year, Pay-It-Forward House in Sycamore and the Joseph F. Glidden Homestead & Historical Center in DeKalb are partnering on a frozen pie fundraiser. People have until Wednesday to order pies through either organization. Pies can be picked up Nov. 21, in time for Thanksgiving, and the two nonprofits split a share of the proceeds. By pooling their resources, they combat holiday donor fatigue and both net a greater returns than they can raise by having two separate fundraisers.

Thumbs-down: To returning LaShawn Ford to the state House. Ford, a Chicago Democrat, was re-elected Tuesday. On Thursday, he pleaded guilty to a federal misdemeanor charge of cheating the IRS of $3,782. Ford was sentenced to six months’ probation, was fined $1,000 and must do 100 hours of community service. More serious charges of bank fraud were dropped. Perhaps its fitting that a state that can’t pay its bills on time has a man who doesn’t pay his tax bills among its representatives, but that doesn’t mean we should like it. There’s no one else in the state’s 8th District fit to serve?

Thumbs-up: To DeKalb firefighters. They are raising money through their Operation Warm DeKalb drive to buy at least 100 winter coats for local children in need.

The coats cost $34 each and at least 20 percent of them will be American-made, the firefighters said. Members of the DeKalb Classroom Teachers’ Association are helping identify children who may need coats this winter. Firefighters are accepting donations at Fire Station No. 1, 700 Pine St., DeKalb, and online at www.operationwarm. org/dekalb. Efforts to help those in need get through the winter are commendable and we hope the firefighters find lots of community support for their effort.

Thumbs-up: To Justin Hoving, who is collecting and selling used golf balls to raise money for a Lions Club program that benefits children who can’t afford glasses.

Justin and his grandfather, Joe Woodward, go hunting for golf balls along a fence at the Sycamore Community Park, a place that can be hard for golfers to retrieve balls themselves. Justin washes the balls and sells them a dozen of them for $3. He hopes to have $200 by the time he presents the proceeds to the Sycamore Lions Club on Wednesday. What a wonderful project for a 7-year-old, and we wish him luck with the last part of the endeavor.

Thumbs-up: To entrepreneurship. DeKalb native Victoria VonBergen recently took first place in Bradley University’s Brave Pitch competition for her idea for a smartphone application that professionalizes past social media posts. VonBergen is a senior studying business management and administration at Bradley. The contest asked students to pitch an idea for a product, service, innovation or solution to a social problem. She beat our 24 other participants. Way to go Victoria.

OUR VIEW

State needs more GOP moderates One-party rule has not been good for Illinois. Since 2003, Democrats have controlled both chambers of the General Assembly and the governor’s office. In that time, this state’s fiscal situation has crumbled. We spend too much. We tax too much. Our policies have forced too many job creators across state lines. With no checks and balances that a two-party system provides, Democratic leaders in state government have steered Illinois to the brink of financial insolvency.

Republicans have not been competitive statewide in part because they’ve alienated too many voters on issues other than fiscal ones. With his win last week, Gov.-elect Bruce Rauner has created a blueprint for fellow Republicans hoping to win state or Congressional offices in Illinois. Focus on matters of fiscal relevance, express a willingness to work in a bipartisan manner to fix real problems and leave social issues “off the table,” as Rauner said time and again during his campaign. Rauner defeated Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn by more than 160,000 votes. He won every Illinois county but Cook, and he did it by focusing on jobs, taxes, the economy, downsizing government and working with legislators on both sides of the aisle to solve Illinois’ many issues.

Whenever he was asked about gay marriage, which became legal in Illinois this year, he refused to provide his personal view but said he would not work to change state law. He similarly said he would not try to repeal medical marijuana even though he would not have signed the bill that legalized it. Four years ago, downstate Republican Sen. Bill Brady was leading Quinn in most polling months before the gubernatorial election.

But his voting record in the General Assembly and comments he made during his campaign suggested a farright social agenda. It scared too many moderate Illinois voters away. He lost by 32,000 votes despite Quinn’s poor record on jobs, taxes and the economy.

Of course, fiscally conservative yet socially moderate Republicans have to win their primaries before they can win a general election. If the GOP hopes to repeat Rauner’s success, it’s vital moderate Republicans get out and vote in the primary. The issue is not one of Republicans versus Democrats. It is about effective government.

Politicians with their own radical agendas have little chance of accomplishing much in the current mess. Our state has enormous fiscal problems, and we need serious, fiscally minded legislators who can set aside the “party line” and focus on solving them. When he takes office Jan. 12, Rauner will be the first Republican governor of Illinois since George Ryan left office in 2003. Voters elected him because they trust he can do a better job than Quinn in fixing Illinois’ numerous fiscal issues. He and the Democratic-controlled General Assembly must work together toward that common goal.

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.

CLASS 6A SECOND ROUND PLAYOFFS: (10) HINSDALE SOUTH 17, (2) DEKALB 14 (OT),

FAKED OUT OF THE PLAYOFFS

Monica Synett – msynett@shawmedia.com

Players on the DeKalb sideline react after a fake field goal attempt failed in overtime, resulting in a 17-14 loss to Hinsdale South on Friday night in a second-round Class 6A playoff game in Darien.

Hinsdale South’s overtime call pays off DARIEN – When Hinsdale South decided to kick a field goal on fourth-andgoal from the DeKalb 1-yard line on the opening drive of overtime, I immediately thought, what are they doing?

Turns out, the move I thought would end the Hornets’ season paid off. The field goal was good, and the Barbs couldn’t get on the board on the next possession of what was a 17-14 Hinsdale South win in the second round of the Class 6A football playoffs.

Hornets coach Mike Barry trusted his defense, one that did its job all night against Barbs star running back Dre Brown, who was held to 80 yards.

“I think they just put extra pressure up front,” DeKalb coach Matt Weckler said.

“They brought a lot of pressure, we just couldn’t pick it up inside, and, unfortunately, we couldn’t pass the ball really well tonight, and we had (two) turnovers. When you have turnovers, you don’t win games.”

VIEWS Steve Nitz

The Hornets’ gamble paid off in a big way, because when the Barbs got the ball in overtime, Hinsdale South’s defense was at its best. A sack of DeKalb quarterback Derek Kyler put the Barbs in a fourth-andgoal situation from the Hinsdale South 20, forcing DeKalb to try a field goal, which the Barbs faked.

Kyler’s pass was incomplete. It was just a tough situation to be in.

Weckler thought trying a field goal was too risky, and he’s right. Plus, DeKalb clearly caught the Hornets off guard.

Failed fake field goal attempt in overtime ends Barbs’ season More online

By EDDIE CARIFIO ecarifio@shawmedia.com DARIEN – Derek Kyler got up from holding the kick, rolled out to the right and heaved the ball into the end zone.

It bounced off a receiver then fell harmlessly to the ground.

The fake field goal on the last play of overtime didn’t work for the second-seeded DeKalb football team, and No. 10 Hinsdale South held on for a 17-14 win in the second round of the Class 6A football playoffs.

Facing a fourth-and-goal from the 20yard line in the extra period, Ethan Conroy and the kick team marched out to attempt to tie the score after the Hornets (9-2) kicked a 19-yarder in the first half of the overtime. The Hornets called a timeout in an attempt to freeze Conroy, and that’s when Weckler said he decided to call the fake.

“After the timeout, we decided to switch,” Weckler said. “That’s a 37-yard field goal. That’s a tough field goal to make

A field goal gave Hinsdale South its first lead of the game. The Barbs (9-2) scored two touchdowns in the first quarter – a 46-yard run by senior Dre Brown and a 7-yard run by Kyler, the sophomore quarterback.

Brown’s first two carries went for a combined 67 yards, but he finished the game with 80 yards on 15 caries. He had what would have been a 68-yard scoring run in the fourth quarter negated by of a holding call.

CLASS 5A SECOND ROUND PLAYOFFS: (13) ST. VIATOR AT (12) SYCAMORE, 1 P.M. TODAY

Spartans looking to ground Lions’ air attack Defensive linemen ready to rush pass-heavy Lions

By EDDIE CARIFIO ecarifio@shawmedia.com Sycamore’s schedule isn’t exactly loaded with pass-happy opponents.

So when a team like St. Viator pops up on the schedule, the defensive line takes notice.

“With all these air-raid, spread-the-ball-out type teams there’s a lot more pass rushing,” junior defensive end Ryan Grant said. “It’s more like fun for me and Austin because we just get to fly off the edge and make plays.”

The No. 12 Spartans (6-4) host the No. 13 Lions at 1 p.m. today at Engh Community

Field in the second round of the IHSA Class 5A playoffs.

The Lions (6-4) enter the game averaging 32.5 points a game and average 268.5 yards through the air, compared with 133.2 on the ground.

Senior quarterback Tyler Johnston has completed about 60 percent of his passes for 2,685 yards, 25 touchdowns and 13 interceptions.

“When we stay disciplined and what we’re supposed to do, that’s when we get the best results,” said Grant’s fellow defensive end, Austin Kosusnik. “If we keep doing what we’re taught we can keep down that road.”

See D-LINE, page B3

Sixty-six percent of St. Viator’s offensive yards from passing game

Matt Darling (39-440-3) and Sal Cannella (30-506-7) have had good seasons, as well.

The Spartans have faced passing teams before, particularly Kaneland, which Sycamore defeated 14-7. Coach Joe Ryan said that doesn’t necessarily make him more confident heading into today’s game.

“There’s enough difference there you can’t draw the same conclusions. I’d like to, but I don’t think you can,” Ryan said. “They probably have a few more receivers than what Kaneland had this year, so that presents a little more of an issue.”

SPORTS BRIEFS Jordan rookie card fails to sell at auction DALLAS – A Michael Jordan rookie card expected to earn more than $80,000 in an online auction failed to sell.

Heritage Auctions in Dallas said Friday that bidding didn’t meet the consigner-mandated reserve of $60,000. Heritage is offering the card from 1986 for $71,700 on its website.

Chris Ivy, Heritage’s director of sports collectibles, said the Fleer card is one of only five Jordan rookie cards to get Beckett Grading Services’ top grade of “Pristine 10.”

Jordan’s first year with the Bulls was 1984. Ivy said the card is dated to 1986, because basketball cards weren’t manufactured from 1982 to 1984.

Kurt Busch facing assault investigation DOVER, Del. – NASCAR driver Kurt Busch has been accused of domestic assault by his ex-girlfriend, and police in Delaware said Friday they are investigating.

The Dover Police Department said the allegations were brought to the department Wednesday. Busch’s ex-girlfriend, Patricia Driscoll, 36, said the allegations involved an incident inside his motorhome at a race at Dover International Speedway in September. The couple broke up about a week before.

Driscoll has filed court documents asking that a judge order Busch to stay away from her and not contact her.

She also is asking that Busch undergo a psychiatric evaluation and be evaluated by a certified domestic violence treatment agency.

Official predicts NHL players back at Olympics BANGKOK – A senior Canadian ice hockey official believes NHL players will return to the Winter Olympics, and is urging an early decision this time.

The participation of NHL players in the Olympics is contentious because of disruption to the league season and teams’ concerns over injury risks.

Bob Nicholson, a vice president of the International Ice Hockey Federation and former Hockey Canada chief, was asked Friday about the prospect of NHL players competing at the 2018 Winter Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea.

Bears coach Mark Trestman (left) and Jay Cutler talk on the sideline late in the fourth quarter against the Miami Dolphins on Oct. 19 at Soldier Field.

Bears lost, 27-14.

Another reason the conversation so often turns to Cutler and Rodgers when these two teams get together is a look at their respective offenses.

Matt Forte is one of the three or four best running backs in the NFL today. Eddie Lacy is close but still working to join that group.

Until a few weeks ago, there nearly was unanimous consent around the league that Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery were the best pair of starting receivers in the NFL, with Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb ranked several groups below.

The depth of both groups was a question, although the recent play of Davante Adams gives the Pack an advantage there.

Martellus Bennett gives the Bears a big edge at tight end, as the Packers have no consistent performer here, although Bennett could be doubtful for this game with bad ribs.

The offensive lines are probably even, as each boasts a Pro Bowl guard in the Packers’ Josh Sitton and the Bears’ Kyle

BULLS 118, 76ERS 115

Dunleavy scores Hawks’ 2-0 lead 27 to lead Bulls vanishes in hurry

By AARON BRACY The Associated Press PHILADELPHIA – Mike Dunleavy had a hot hand and his unselfish teammates kept feeding him.

Dunleavy scored 12 of his season-high 27 points in the decisive third quarter, and the Bulls held off a late Philadelphia rally in a 118-115 victory over the 76ers on Friday night. Mike Dunleavy Jimmy Butler added 23 points and Pau Gasol chipped in 17 points and 12 rebounds for the Bulls, whose 4-0 road start is their best since going 6-0 away from Chicago to start the 1996-97 season. Derrick Rose missed his third game in the past four after aggravating his sprained ankles in Wednesday’s 95-86 win over Milwaukee, where the former MVP had 13 points and seven assists in 31 minutes. He is day-to-day.

Dunleavy made 4-of-6 field goals, including 3-of-4 3-pointers in the third period.

“Our guys did a good job of recognizing he was going well,” Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said. “That’s what I like about our team; it’s a very unselfish team.”

Dunleavy said playing with this group is enjoyable.

“It’s great when you have a bunch of unselfish guys, focused on sharing the ball and whatever it takes to win,” he said. “It’s what every player wants.”

The Bulls led by as many as 18 after halftime. But the Sixers used a late 13-3 run to close within 116-115 with five seconds left when Chris Johnson made a 3-pointer after Kirk Hinrich missed two free throws on the Bulls’ previous possession. Hinrich followed Johnson’s 3 by making a pair of free throws to put the Bulls ahead by three with 2.1 seconds left. Johnson’s shot from 43 feet that would have tied it at the buzzer wasn’t close.

By MARK LAZERUS mlazerus@suntimes.com CHICAGO – Things couldn’t have been going much better for the Blackhawks as the second period ticked away Friday night.

They had scored a goal at home for the first time in more than 146 minutes. They had scored in the second period for just the fifth time all season. And Corey Crawford was rolling with a shutout streak of more than 150 minutes and counting.

Then they went into cruise control, and the Washington Capitals hit the throttle.

Washington scored three goals in the final five minutes of the period, including two in the final minute, and defeated the Hawks, 3-2.

It was a prelude to the Winter Classic, which will be played at Nationals Park in Washington on New Year’s Day. “It’s a great opportunity,” Joel Quenneville said of the

One of the most oft used and least accurate clichés in sports is when the announcer with the voice from God booms, “And in this, one of the greatest rivalries in the NFL, you can throw out the record books when these two get together!”

No, unfortunately you can’t.

With Jay Cutler at quarterback, the Bears are 1-10 against the Green Bay Packers, and Cutler has thrown 13 touchdowns and 20 interceptions.

It’s worse at Lambeau Field, where the Bears are 0-3 when Cutler plays, and he’s thrown two touchdowns and 10 interceptions.

Conversely, the Packers are 11-2 against the Bears with Aaron Rodgers, and not counting last year’s game in which he was knocked out early in the first quarter, Rodgers is undefeated against the Bears at home.

It is true, these matchups are not actually Cutler vs. Rodgers, as they never are on the field at the same time.

But the quarterback does have the biggest impact of any player on his team, and we have witnessed Rodgers making his team much better than it is without him, while Cutler has served as an anchor more often than he has a propeller.

Hawks’ third outdoor game since 2009, and second in 10 months. “The players go back to when they were kids. They want to have fun in that situation.”

The Hawks were having plenty of fun Friday until the bottom fell out. Saad took a Marian Hossa pass on a 2-on-1 and rifled a shot past Braden Holtby for a 1-0 lead at 17:12 of the first. It was the Hawks’ first goal at the United Center since Oct. 26; they had suffered two straight 1-0 shutouts on home ice to the Anaheim Ducks and the Winnipeg Jets.

With Alex Ovechkin in the penalty box for a hit to the head of Niklas Hjalmarsson, Duncan Keith – playing in his 700th career game – scored a power-play goal from the left circle 56 seconds into the second period for a 2-0 Hawks lead.

And when Crawford made one of his trademark snapping high glove saves midway through the second, the Hawks appeared to be in total control.

And, when you factor in how good heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s felt the last two weeks, it sure feels that everything is falling in place for Adam.â&#x20AC;?

But first, running at 11 a.m. will be Kanelandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brianna Bower. The junior ran one of her best races of the season at the Kaneland Sectional.

Kaneland coach Doug Ecker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought she raced really well.â&#x20AC;?

Bower finished 32nd as a freshman in 2012. Last year, she finished 37th.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;They just made some adjustments and we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t respond,â&#x20AC;? Weckler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had some touchdowns taken off the board, that kind of hurt us, I think.

Unfortunately, we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overcome.â&#x20AC;?

The Barbs had 136 yards at halftime and finished with 180 total. The Hornets finished with 278 total yards.

Despite three interceptions, quarterback Robert Regan ran for 133 yards on 24 carries and a touchdown after running back Marcus Curry struggled to finish with 51 yards on 15 carries.

Weckler called the defense outstanding. The Barbs forced four turnovers, including a fumble by Curry late in the fourth that was recovered

by Jake Kuykendall. They had the ball on their 46 with 1:23 left, but Kyler threw an interception on third-and-1 to end the drive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make plays,â&#x20AC;? Weckler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have guys who normally make plays that just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tonight.

DeKalb coach Matt Weckler hugs halfback Dre Brown after a 17-14 overtime loss to Hinsdale South to end their season Friday in Darien.

The loss ends the season for DeKalb, which made the playoffs for the second straight year, won its first eight games of the regular season and won its first conference title since 1989. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To go from 5-5 last year to 9-2 this year, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a huge step in the right direction,â&#x20AC;? Weckler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully, the younger guys realize what an important step this was and we can continue to move forward from this.â&#x20AC;?

The Barbsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defense kept them in the game.

DeKalb held strong all night and forced four turnovers, including two interceptions from senior corner Rudy Lopez.

Never did I think DeKalb would lose a game because of a lack of offensive production. I always thought that if the Barbs had an eventual downfall, it would be because of defensive struggles.

DeKalbâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defensive unit deserves a ton of credit. However, Hinsdaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s should get even more. Keeping a Division I tailback in check (Brown, who will play at Illinois next fall, did have a 50-plus yard touchdown run called back because of a holding penalty), was a determining factor in the game.

I was literally shocked the Hornets didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t try to push it in the end zone on their overtime possession.

However, DeKalb had minus-8 rushing yards as a team in the second half. I guess, in hindsight, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to blame Barry for trusting his defense.

Ryan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s their own niche on how they do things. They do it really well.â&#x20AC;?

Strong safety Colan Treml said the Spartans have been emphasizing stopping the long pass. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to make them throw it on the flat routes and rally to the ball,â&#x20AC;? Treml said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to control the line of scrimmage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working on a lot of deep balls, a lot of 7-on-7,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to take that away.â&#x20AC;?

Senior running back Dion Hooker is still the center of the Sycamore offense, running for 205 yards and two touchdowns in the playoff opener, bringing his season total to 1,289 yards and 11 scores. Quarterback Brett Bemis had an efficient 4-for-5 passing day with 94 yards and two touchdown passes. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s completed 52 percent of his passes this year for 855 yards, nine touchdowns and three interceptions.

The 55 points last week were five more than the Spartans had scored in their previous four weeks combined.

Even with the outburst, Ryan is convinced the offense still can improve. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve peaked yet offensively,â&#x20AC;? Ryan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, hopefully, we can continue to play better and get better Saturday.â&#x20AC;?

NO. 8 NOTRE DAME AT NO. 11 ARIZONA ST., 2:30 P.M., ABC

Irish, Sun Devils set for epic showdown

By JOHN MARSHALL The Associated Press TEMPE, Ariz. – No. 8 Notre Dame and No. 11 Arizona State have spent two months jockeying for position.

Both have won big games, rallied from disappointing losses.

The Irish and Sun Devils both are among a glut of one-loss teams fighting to get into the College Football Playoff, firmly in the top 10 of the rankings with five weeks until the final field of four is set.

Tonight’s game at Sun Devil Stadium will send them in opposite directions.

The winner will bolster its playoff résumé, likely move up in the rankings.

The loser is pretty much done, likely left to angle for one of the smaller bowls.

“It’s a single-elimination tournament from here on out,” Arizona State coach Todd Graham said.

This elimination game features a pair of 7-1 teams that bounced back from disappointing losses to remain in playoff position.

The Sun Devils appeared to be a playoff long shot Sept. 25 after being blown out by UCLA. Since then, Arizona State has gone on one of the best runs in school history, knocking off No. 16 USC, No. 20 Stanford – a nemesis previously – Washington and No. 18 Utah last week in a gritty overtime victory.

Now up to No. 9 in the College Football Playoff rankings, the Sun Devils have a legitimate shot at earning one of the four spots in the final rankings Dec. 7.

The next step toward that goal will be what might be the biggest game in the 56-year history of Sun Devil Stadium, something Graham and the Sun Devils are embracing.

“I think it’d be silly to say it’s like any other game,” Graham said. “It’s not any other game to me.”

Big games are nothing new to a storied program such as Brian Kelly Notre Dame.

The Irish played for a national championship two years ago and seemingly play an epic game at least once a season.

Notre Dame crushed rival Michigan early in the season and knocked off Stanford, but lost a tight game to defending national champion Florida

NO. 13 OHIO ST. AT NO. 7 MICHIGAN ST., 7:07 P.M., ABC

By NOAH TRISTER The Associated Press

AP file photo

Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio (right) is congratulated by Ohio State coach Urban Meyer after the Big Ten Conference championship game Dec. 7, 2013, in Indianapolis. The winner of the Michigan StateOhio State game today will take over sole possession of first place in the Big Ten East Division. ground to make up at No. 14, but a road victory over Michigan State would be a start.

Last year, it was the Spartans who denied the Buckeyes a spot in the BCS championship game by beating them for the Big Ten title. This week’s rematch also figures to eliminate the loser.

Who knows? A few more matchups of this magnitude, and maybe Michigan State vs.

Ohio State really will become a major rivalry.

Here are a few things to watch during this Big Ten showdown: Barrett’s poise: Redshirt freshman J.T. Barrett has done a nice job replacing injured quarterback Braxton Miller for Ohio State, but this will be a major test. Miller completed only eight passes in last season’s loss to the Spartans – a game in which Ohio State actually ran the ball quite well.

Balance: Michigan State was carried by its defense for much of last year, but that had changed by the time the Spartans played Ohio State. Michigan State won

game that included two touchdowns in the final 1:08, including an interception returned for a touchdown by the Irish that ended up being the winning score. Notre Dame tried to back out of this year’s game before finally reaching an agreement with ASU. Containing Golson: Arizona State has an aggressive, attacking defense and likes to put pressure on the quarterback. The Sun Devils might want to be careful against Notre Dame’s Everett Golson.

One of the nation’s best dual-threat quarterbacks, he’s superb outside the pocket and has an ability to extend plays with his legs.

Arizona State had trouble containing UCLA’s Brett Hundley and will need to do a better job against Golson.

WEEKEND TV SPORTSWATCH

Playoff hopes on the line EAST LANSING, Mich. – Mark Dantonio and Urban Meyer downplayed the rivalry between Michigan State and Ohio State this week.

Michigan, the coaches insisted, is the main rival for both. Although that certainly is true, the stakes of tonight’s game between the No. 7 Spartans and No. 13 Buckeyes speak for themselves.

“To say this is a rivalry game, that would diminish the rivalry that’s been here for 100 years,” Meyer said. “This is a great game because it’s two teams battling for first place.”

First place in the Big Ten’s East Division – and a possible spot in college football’s new four-team playoff. That’s what’s on the line, and there’s no need for extra incentive or ill will.

The rivalry talk has picked up because these same teams met in the Big Ten title game last year and they’ve dominated the conference the past few seasons. Michigan State has not lost to a Big Ten team since 2012. The Buckeyes are 20-0 in conference during the regular season under Meyer, but their loss to the Spartans in that 2013 title game stands out.

There’s a healthy respect between the two programs – with a hint of an enemy-of-my-enemyis-my-friend sentiment. Dantonio didn’t dispute Meyer’s contention that Michigan is Ohio State’s main rival. He went a step further by saying Michigan State’s rivals are Michigan and Notre Dame. The Spartans don’t play the Irish this year.

“There are certain football teams that you start to begin to take shape as a rivalry as you play them,” Dantonio said. “I think it goes back and forth, but I think you need to have a very long history.”

Michigan State (7-1, 4-0) is No. 8 in the latest ranking from college football’s playoff committee, and a victory this weekend is necessary if the Spartans want to remain in serious consideration. Ohio State (7-1, 4-0) has even more

State two weeks ago.

Even with the loss to the Seminoles, the Irish still are in the playoff hunt, one spot behind Arizona State at No. 10.

“I don’t go into this, like, ‘Hey this is a big game’ because then you would coach differently,” Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said. “I think the implications are out there that everybody knows. You’ve got to keep winning if you want a chance to be in the playoffs. So from everybody else’s perspective, it’s a big game. I don’t work in that world.”

Here are a few more things to look for when Notre Dame faces Arizona State: Rematch: Notre Dame and Arizona State faced each other last season at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The Irish won, 37-34, in a wild

that game, 34-24, and both the Spartans and Buckeyes are averaging more than 45 points a game this season.

With quarterback Connor Cook, running back Jeremy Langford and receiver Tony Lippett, Michigan State has plenty of options offensively.

Pass rushers: The Spartans’ defensive line includes standouts Shilique Calhoun and Marcus Rush. Ohio State’s front is anchored by Joey Bosa, who leads the Big Ten with 14½ tackles for loss and 10 sacks.

Underdogs: Ohio State is in an unusual position, with the Spartans favored by about a field goal in the days leading up to the game. The scenario is a bit different from last year, when the Buckeyes took a 24-game winning streak into the league title game against Michigan State.

Passing THE

TORCH Hosting Thanksgiving for the first time? Some tips

By LEANNE ITALIE The Associated Press

T

he potatoes are wrong. The football game’s too loud. The kids aren’t dressed right. Thanksgiving can, of course, be a great joy, but with so many beloved traditions on the line it can also be prime ground for sniping and griping the first time the torch has been passed.

Your mother, mother-in-law, father or father-in-law might be thrilled to give up hosting after many decades, but that doesn’t mean they’ll behave themselves once sidelined, said Ruth Nemzoff, author of “Don’t Bite Your Tongue: How to Foster Rewarding Relationships with Your Adult Children.”

Before you find yourself wrapping yellow crime scene tape around the kitchen as you slurp white wine from the bottle with a crazy straw, just listen to what Nemzoff has to say: • Give them a role, whether it’s asking mom to make her famous pumpkin pie or contribute a favorite family tablecloth, platter or candlesticks.

• Don’t implode. There’s no need to convince yourself you couldn’t possibly measure up. Rather than get crazy with comparisons, let the elders know you hope to emulate them.

• Make new foods but keep the old.

Thanksgiving is about the familiar. Families expect to see the same dishes each year. Introduce menu changes slowly.

• Don’t feel you have to make everything yourself like your predecessors. It’s fine to reach out for side dishes or – gasp – cater. Secretly or otherwise.

Andrew Royce Bauer, 21, of Neptune,

New Jersey, and his 21-year-old cousin, Alexandra, are doing all the cooking this year but sticking to the usual place, the largish upper Manhattan apartment of Alexandra’s mother.

And they’re doing something else: providing a la carte side dishes and other menu tweaks to accommodate the Atkins groupies, Paleo followers and gluten-free folks among the 15 to 25 people expected – something that hasn’t consciously happened in the past.

“We’re a little apprehensive,” he said. “It’s one of our family’s favorite holidays. They’re going to be watching over our backs to make sure we don’t start any fires.”

The mother and stepfather of Gabriel Constans, who lives in Santa Cruz, California, are 80 and 86.

They’ve hosted the large family for Thanksgiving for more than 40 years at their house in Northern California but are no longer up to the task.

So Constans, 60, and his wife decided to rent a large house near the elders for three days as a haven for themselves and other out-of-town loved ones. They’ll throw Thanksgiving there, for 40 people.

He and others in the family know it would be too difficult for his parents to watch them take over their kitchen.

They wanted to carry on some menu traditions, so Constans’ sister took their frozen cranberry salad with marshmal-

lows out for a test run last year to rave reviews. She’ll make it again this year.

And they’ve asked Constans’ stepdad to do what he does best: gravy.

Somebody else in the family has already successfully duplicated the family’s favorite stuffing. Covering one of the tables will be his parents’ go-to Thanksgiving cloth of purple and green with tassels and a design of squares.

Constans heads into hosting knowing some of the pitfalls. One is not allowing his nephew, who hunts and is in charge of the bird, to use one that he shot himself.

“He tried it once and my stepdad said no way.

He thought he could catch something from it. He wouldn’t come out of his room for hours, until my nephew promised that he would go to the store and cook a different turkey.”

Newbie Annalisa Parent in Colchester, Vermont, is sweating some “what ifs” as she heads into hosting her first Thanksgiving, for 22 people.

“Not only is my large French Canadian family gathering, but I’ve also invited my boyfriend’s family to meet mine for the first time,” she said.

One of her biggest stresses is pulling off the tourtiere, a minced meat pie handed down from her great-great grandmother. The meat filling is also used as a stuffing and the men in her family can’t get enough.

“If I fail, Memere will probably let me

know and then help me make another batch,” Parent said.

And that’s as it should be, said Taryn Mohrman, senior editor at Woman’s Day magazine. She agreed that the first year can be challenging all around.

“When you’re a parent going to your child’s house for the first time, the thing to remember is that hosting can be overwhelming. People who have done it for years tend to forget how stressful it can be,” she said.

But some things aren’t as difficult as they might seem, Mohrman said. Is it really that hard to peel a pile of potatoes and mash some while roasting others, or cook a mass of stuffing and use different mix-ins to please more palates?

For elders who want to be a real asset rather than merely kibitz, she suggests offering help in small ways, such as managing RSVPs or putting together a timeline for day of.

“That helps the parents feel involved,” Mohrman said. “But don’t be offended if your son or daughter insists they have it covered because they’re probably excited that you get to finally sit back, relax and be a guest for once.”

On the big day, torch-passers should stay out of the kitchen unless specifically invited, Mohrman said.

“If you’re banished, offer to take coats, make drinks, greet people at the door,” she said. “There’s plenty to do elsewhere.”

Torch-takers might want to chew on this: If it doesn’t work out, it doesn’t have to be a permanent thing.

“Maybe next year it needs to be somewhere else,” Mohrman said. “It’s more about family than the place.”

FAMILY TIME | Throwing the ultimate football party

Tip of the week Football season is here, and whether you’re a diehard fan or just a fan of all the Sunday parties, chances are you’re going to attend or host a get together centered around the country’s favorite sport sometime soon.

Lifestyle expert Kris Schoels of Young Married Chic has some simple suggestions for making the most of football parties.

Decorations The aesthetics of a party are half the fun, so give guests something fun to look at when they aren’t engrossed in the game. Pick up plates, cups, napkins and flags with a football theme from a party store. Schoels also recommends making your own football-themed decorations by taking a footballshaped stamp, inking it with your favorite team’s colors and stamping white napkins and plates.

“To really get in the game-day theme, trade out a tablecloth for green turf

and paint your own goal lines for a table topper,” Schoels says. “Fill football helmets with chips for a more creative touch and swap out serving trays for chalkboards to label foods and chalk out ‘plays.’”

Drinks Drinks are a great opportunity to use some color to express team pride, advises Schoels.

“Use a glass drink dispenser to show off a bright red punch for the Kansas City Chiefs; add some blueberry juice to seltzer with a squeeze of lime for flavor to make a blue fizz for the New York Giants, or add a few drops of green food coloring to lemonade to show love for the Green Bay Packers,” she suggests.

If you are planning on having a kid’s table/viewing area, provide mini bottles of sports drink so the kids can get into the game as well.

Put a new twist on stadium foods at home When it comes to game day food, there are some classic favorites, both at home and at the stadium like nachos, chicken fingers, hot dogs and soft pretzels. For your next party, Schoels recommends putting a new twist on them with an ingredient that everyone loves – melted cheese.

“A ready-to-eat fondue like the ones from Emmi of Switzerland are

perfect for dipping soft pretzels, pigs in a blanket, french fries and chicken fingers, and even using as the cheese for nachos – it’s a perfect way to enjoy stadium foods at home,” says Schoels.

“Emmi even sells a football helmetshaped fondue pot at Emmi.com that is sure to get your guests in the zone on Sunday while they enjoy some warm, melted cheese.”

Dessert Whether satisfying a gridiron sweet tooth or keeping it light, there are creative ways to serve football-inspired desserts.

“Use a tube of white icing to create laces on football-shaped treats, like brownies cut into the pigskin shape, cupcakes with chocolate frosting or chocolate-covered strawberries,” says Schoels. “If opting for a healthier dessert option, try cutting out a watermelon in the shape of a helmet and filling it with fresh-cut fruit.”

Games and activities Plan some activities for the pre and postgame to make your gathering more than just a viewing party. If the weather is still nice outside, ask your guests to come early for a quick round of touch football. Once the game is underway create areas where kids and/ or non-football fans can talk without bothering the viewers. For non-athlete guests, Schoels recommends a tamer

game that everyone can enjoy.

“You can make a ‘pin the football in the goal’ game,” she says. “Just tape up a paper goal post cutout to wall; blindfold players and having them try to tack paper football inside the goal area.” Buy small prizes for winners like koozies, gift cards and team memorabilia to make the games more competitive and enjoyable for guests.

Santa Rita Hills showcased in wine portfolio A sense of place is of paramount importance at Brewer-Clifton.

To best showcase the Santa Rita Hills, winemaker Greg Brewer devised a plan to harvest 100 percent of the fruit grown at five different vineyards. All vineyards are located within eight miles of the winery. And all fruit must arrive at the winery by 8 a.m.

The result is a stunning portfolio of wines from a California region loaded with great Pinot Noir and Chardonnay producers.

Winemaker spotlight At the end of the counter in the posh Brewer-Clifton tasting room sits what looks like a wooden spice rack. But, instead of spices are vials of soil from the vineyards where the fruit is sourced.

While every vineyard has sandy loam soil, the color, texture and size of pebbles in each is unique.

“When Greg (Brewer) and Steve (Clifton) started the winery they wanted to showcase the unique vineyards of the Santa Rita Hills,” Brewer-Clifton tasting room manager Tamara Payne said.

Which is exactly what the Brewer-Clifton Chardonnay and Pinot Noir lineup does: define an American Viticultural Area.

From the eastern edge of

UNCORKED James Nokes the AVA, comes the Brewer-Clifton 3D Chardonnay, 2011 ($59). It has warmer days and cooler nights and mornings from the Maritime influence. Once the marine layer dissipates in the afternoon, a wind off the Pacific Ocean has dried out any moisture by the afternoon. The result is fresh berries that carry great acidity. Flavors of stone fruit and key lime pie dominate on a wine with a round mouth feel.

The Brewer-Clifton Sweeney Canyon Chardonnay, 2010, is from silty soil atop the Santa Ynez River, which runs underneath the vineyard. It’s a complex wine with petrol, wet rock, lemon grass and pear flavors.

In what is a great repre-

What to buy Stemmari has found a way to give back to military fami-

lies for Veterans Day. For the second straight year, portions of sales from the Sicilian wines, which are widely available and priced for weeknight affordability, will go to the Special Operations Warrior Foundation, which assists families of military personnel killed or wounded in action. The program runs through Feb. 28.

In 1943, Allied troops set up camps throughout Sicily, including Stemmari’s vineyards in Acate.

My favorite of the trio of wines I sampled was Stemmari, Cantodoro, 2011 ($18).

It’s medium bodied with easy-going tannins. It has coffee, dark chocolate and raspberry notes with a hint of tobacco on the finish. It’s 80 percent Nero d’Avola and 20 percent Cabernet Sauvignon.

Baci Vivaci ($9.99) is 100 percent Grillo and loaded with sparkling bubbles. It had light

peach flavors and a pretty floral nose. It would be a fun alternative to Champagne on Thanksgiving. Dalila, 2012 ($20) is a Grillo and Viognier blend that has peach, orange zest and lemon flavors rounded out by oak notes.

Wine 101 The wait is finally over.

It took 190 days for it to happen, but on Halloween, it finally rained in Paso Robles.

Last year, I visited Santa Barbara and Paso Robles in separate trips to California wine country. The landscape in both regions, and the entire state, was scarred by a threeyear drought. A walk through vineyards showed pockmarked, dry soil that looked lunar in nature.

Despite the drought, winemakers throughout California have turned out an impressive string of vintages.

Tablas Creek partner and

general manager Jason Haas welcomed the rain, especially if it’s a harbinger of future weather events.

“In the end, we got 1.17 inches from this storm,” Haas said. “Which is a great start to what we’re really hoping is going to be a wet winter.

Hearing that first rain of the year is always wonderful, but knowing how desperately it’s needed this year makes it all the sweeter.”

The DeKalb County Health Department has announced the dates and locations for the 2014 Holiday Light Recycling Program. This year, the health department will partner with DeKalb Iron and Metal Company (DIMCO).

“Partnering with a local service provider leads to a more sustainable program for DeKalb County,” director of health protection Greg Maurice said.

The recycling program will run from Nov. 24 until Jan. 9.

Lights that will be accepted for this program are minilights (also known as Italian lights), C7 lights, C9 lights, rope lights, LED lights, and extension cords.

Residents can drop off their old holiday lights at the following drop off locations during normal operating hours.

• DeKalb County Farm Bureau, 1350 W. Prairie Drive in Sycamore • Waterman Village Hall, 215 W. Adams St., Waterman • Sandwich City Hall, 144 E.

ASTROGRAPH

By EUGENIA LAST Newspaper Enterprise Association

TODAY – Your self-discipline, intensity and passion will serve you well this year. You will have no trouble achieving your goals, and will earn recognition from your peers. Stretch your limits, but retain your work ethic in order to advance.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – A misunderstanding or miscommunication between you and a partner will have to be remedied if you are going to move forward. A calm discussion will clear the air.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – A disagreeable attitude will compromise your position. Be known for your talents, not your irritability.

Dependability and consistency will bring personal and financial rewards your way.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – No matter whom you are dealing with, if an agreement is drawn up, you must read the fine print. Don’t make impulsive deals that might cause personal or family setbacks.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Compromise will be called for when dealing with partners. Go out of your way to reach a mutually beneficial agreement. Get whatever you agree on in writing to avoid future problems.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Household matters will take precedence.

Make home improvements that will increase your comfort, convenience and family enjoyment. Host a gathering of friends and family at your place.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Make an appointment with a financial adviser to look over investment possibilities.

There are ways to improve your monetary situation.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Stubbornness will be your downfall.

Insistence on doing things your way will have a detrimental effect on your personal and professional partnerships. If you cannot agree, you’d be better off moving forward alone.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Frivolous spending can damage your financial security. Before you spend, question whether you really need to make the purchase. You’ll feel better with less stuff and more money in the bank.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Someone will not realize the advice they’re offering isn’t what you need. Don’t take offense; just make it very clear that you don’t want anyone interfering in your personal life.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Put your house in order. Gather up instruction manuals and related warranties or guarantees. Reorganize your important papers and discard possessions or records that are no longer relevant.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Friction and hostility between family members will prey on your mind. Scrutinize your own actions before putting

ADVICE & PUZZLES 5

Blonde sees red in battle over hair color Dear Abby: I’m 17 and my mom won’t let me dye my hair! Earlier this year she finally let me color it red, which I have wanted for years. I went blond for my sister’s wedding, but I’m naturally blond and I don’t like it because it’s boring. A ton of people compliment me on my hair, but I don’t care what people think, I just want to be me and not anyone else.

So, my mom is being too controlling. She says I have to stay blond until I can pay for it myself, and I don’t have a job. My parents are very strict and I would never be allowed to get a tattoo, but I want my red hair back. How do I go about convincing her that no matter how much people love the blond, I don’t like it and I want a change? – Natural Blonde in Pennsylvania Dear Natural Blonde: When a person changes hair color more than twice in one year, it can seriously damage the hair. Also, red is the hardest color to keep up because it tends to oxidize and turn “brassy.” (I am speaking from experience.) It can also be expensive.

If you want to “go red” once you’re working and can afford it, you can make your own decision. But in the meantime, listen to your

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips mother – she’s looking out for your interests.

Dear Abby: I am a woman in my 20s and finishing up two degrees at university. I am an only child, and my mother is one of the youngest among 10 siblings, so I have many cousins.

I have always been the “good one,” the one who is responsible, not addicted to drugs and who has a promising future. Because of this, my childless aunts and uncles and those with irresponsible children have looked to me for moral support and guidance during their golden years. Many of them are now in their 60s.

Abby, I already have to take care of my parents as they grow older. This stress as an only child and the “responsible cousin” weighs heavily on me. What would you advise? – The Good One Dear Good One: Recognize what your limitations are and pace yourself accordingly. As you start your professional life and, eventually, your own family, it’s important that you not allow yourself to

be spread so thin you make yourself sick.

Your first responsibility must be to yourself, your immediate family and your parents. If looking out for your aunts and uncles becomes more time- and energy-consuming than you can handle, consider enlisting the help of a social worker.

Dear Abby: I am an educated, single woman in my 30s. I’d love to be a mom one day, but because I have fertility/ovulation issues, I’ll need treatments in order to conceive. I’m scared that by the time I find a husband, I may be too old.

For the last few months I have been dating a great guy, “Scott.” He says he’s willing to help me have a child.

However, when marriage was mentioned, Scott said he won’t be ready to settle down for a few more years. I understand, because he’s not yet financially stable. I don’t mind waiting to marry him, but I can’t wait that long to have children.

My friends say I scream “desperation,” but most of them are also in their 30s, married and aggressively seeking fertility treatments.

Should I wait for the unknown or take a leap of faith?

– Weighing My Options in Houston

Dear Weighing: No one can answer that for you. But while you’re pondering, let me weigh in: Before “leaping,” you should be fully aware that Scott – as nice as he may be – may not be husband material. The baby could be in college before he’s ready to settle down, so the responsibility of raising your child may be solely yours.

I assume that as an educated woman you have a good job, but it’s important you discuss this with an attorney, so Scott’s financial responsibility to his child will be spelled out beforehand. Children and child care are expensive. If something unforeseen were to happen to you or the child – an accident, a physical or mental illness or disability – the costs could skyrocket.

Also, if you’re a regular reader, you may have noticed that more than a few women say that because they have a child, men shy away, which could negatively affect your chances of marrying in the future.

Dear Abby: My wife and I have married children. When it comes to holiday meals, we have a problem. For instance, our youngest daughter was the first to ask us for Thanksgiving dinner. I gave no answer at the time. That

same day, one of our sons asked. Another son asked a day later. I told them all I’d let them know.

Well, the day after that, our oldest daughter called and invited us. We have been to all the kids’ homes for holiday dinners except our oldest daughter’s. Because we had never been there for a holiday, we accepted her invitation. Now our youngest daughter, who asked us first, is upset. She choked up on the phone when I told her we were going to her sister’s.

How do we make all our children happy? What should we have done? – Holiday Dilemma Dear Dilemma: The way you handled it was not only insensitive, but also rude. Because your youngest daughter was the first to invite you, you should have either accepted her invitation or declined – not strung her along and kept her hanging. I don’t blame her for feeling hurt because it now appears you favor her older sister.

From now on, work out a plan in which you rotate holiday dinners among your children and there will be fewer hurt feelings.

New discoveries about managing cholesterol Dear Dr. K: For years I’ve taken niacin to raise my HDL cholesterol. Now my doctor wants me to stop. Why? Dear Reader: When we talk about cholesterol, we’re generally referring to low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol.

LDL is also known as “bad” cholesterol. When there is more LDL than necessary in the bloodstream, the LDL cholesterol burrows inside blood vessel walls. It slowly forms plaques of atherosclerosis. When those plaques rupture and block blood flow, they cause heart attacks and strokes.

Sixty years ago, drugs to lower cholesterol were

ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff introduced. One of these was niacin – also called vitamin B3. Niacin slightly lowered LDL cholesterol, but tended to raise HDL cholesterol (also known as “good” cholesterol).

HDL cholesterol removes cholesterol from artery walls.

People with higher levels of HDL in the blood have a lower risk of heart disease.

Once statins came along, they became the first-choice treatment to lower LDL. They are much more potent in lowering LDL cholesterol than niacin. But doctors continued to prescribe niacin to raise

HDL in people with low HDL levels. The idea was that raising HDL could ward off heart attacks and strokes.

It was a very reasonable theory. I thought it was likely to be true, and for a while took niacin myself. But then new studies changed the picture. What was once a theory that many, including myself, found reasonable was slowly murdered by a brutal gang of facts.

First, several recent studies have shown that raising HDL by taking niacin does not protect patients from heart attack or stroke. Even worse, we are learning that niacin also has many risks.

A rapidly absorbed and metabolized form of niacin is called crystalline niacin.

It must be taken two or three times a day. This form may cause itching, facial flushing and headaches. It may also trigger gout, or cause gastrointestinal bleeding or liver damage. Finally, it may trigger diabetes in people who have borderline-high blood sugar.

Slow-release or sustained-release niacin isn’t as likely to cause flushing and itching. But it still may cause the other, more serious problems I mentioned.

Niacin is still useful as an add-on therapy in people whose LDL is not lowered enough by statins alone. And it is a good alternative when statins are not effective.

Niacin is particularly useful for patients with a rare condition called severe familial

hypercholesterolemia. But for everyone else, niacin has fallen out of favor.

We doctors still have a lot to learn. When we lack absolute proof of something – which is most of the time – we formulate theories. These theories are typically based on indirect evidence, and they generally make sense.

Then we do something commendable: We put the theories to the test, in careful scientific studies. Sometimes the theory is shown to be wrong, and we feel foolish.

But sometimes it proves right, and we’re glad to find we’ve been doing the right thing, after all.

4 ADVICE & PUZZLES • Monday, November 10, 2014 • Section B • Daily Chronicle / Daily-Chronicle.com

Couple’s pregnancy is not friend’s business Dear Abby: May I have some advice about a touchy subject? One of my boyfriend’s close friends is going through his third bout with cancer and the prognosis is not good.

He is married with a healthy 3-year-old son. So imagine our surprise when his wife announced she’s pregnant.

This is a decision we do not support. I don’t know what they’re thinking, but if you are facing the reality that your spouse will not be around much longer, we don’t feel it is wise to bring another child into the world who will never know his or her father.

Some of her close friends want to throw her a “sprinkle,” and although I am only

How do I handle this? would be both thoughtful and Should I attend and keep my kind, because I am sure her thoughts to myself, decline life is extremely difficult now. and/or send a small gift in As to this couple having my absence?

lege near them. My parents recently told me that my brother is suggesting Riley move in with them.

The girl has some behavioral issues and is in counseling. She’s not an easy, happy or normal kid. My parents are extremely uncomfortable with the idea, but have not said anything to my brother.

I think they are afraid of a fight or causing hurt feelings.

He is in denial about his daughter’s problems.

I’m concerned about my parents. At their age, I don’t think it’s fair to expect them to have another teenager in their home, much less one with issues. Is it my place to say something, and if so, what do I say? – Looking Out

For Mom and Dad

Dear Looking Out: You should definitely say something, but not to your brother. Talk with your parents. Remind them that if they’re not OK with the arrangement your brother has proposed, it’s their responsibility to make plain that because of their ages and their health problems they’ll be unable to accommodate his request. Because it’s the truth, it shouldn’t cause an argument or hurt feelings. Also, your brother will have plenty of advance notice that other living arrangements will have to be made for Riley.

Drug ‘cocktail’ is encouraging news for ebola Dear Dr. K: Like everyone, I’m afraid that the Ebola virus could spread in the United States. There must be research underway to find treatments, and vaccines to prevent it in the first place.

Please tell me there is.

Dear Reader:Infection with the Ebola virus is indeed frightening. In West Africa, the site of the latest outbreak of Ebola, more than half the people who have become infected with it have died. I doubt there will be an epidemic of Ebola in the U.S. and other developed nations, but there have been cases, and there will be more.

There is some encouraging news to report. Last month, an international research team developed a “cocktail” of

ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff several antibodies to the Ebola virus, called ZMapp. (Antibodies attach themselves to the virus. This signals other immune system cells to kill it.) This treatment was given to monkeys several days after they became infected with the virus. Most of the monkeys already were having symptoms from the infection when the treatment started. All of the animals treated with ZMapp survived. Animals that did not receive the treatment died.

But keep in mind that treatments that work in animals don’t always work in hu-

mans. Even though monkeys are more like humans than they are like other animals such as mice and rats, treatments that work in monkeys don’t always work in humans.

Another note of encouragement about ZMapp is that two U.S. health care workers who became infected with the virus while working in Africa were treated with the medicine. Each recovered, but that does not prove that the ZMapp treatment caused the recovery.

A second international team recently reported that it had created a vaccine that protected monkeys against becoming sick with the Ebola virus. As with ZMapp, this encouraging result in monkeys does not guarantee

that the vaccine will work in humans and be free of complications.

The first reported outbreak of Ebola virus infection in Africa occurred about 40 years ago. There have been other outbreaks since, each producing terrible casualties.

Why didn’t we already have a proven treatment, and a proven vaccine, to use when this new Ebola outbreak began?

The techniques for making ZMapp, and for making the vaccine, have been around for some time.

I believe the answer is that neither the government nor the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries invested enough in medical research. The government’s ability to support research is

dependent on tax dollars, and no one likes to pay taxes. The private sector invests when it sees a big problem affecting lots of people – people who can pay for the treatments and vaccines. Until the current outbreak, that didn’t seem likely with Ebola.

Every time I close a column saying we need to invest more in biomedical research, I get letters from some readers who say, “Money doesn’t grow on trees – we just don’t have the money to support more research.” I believe that, as a society, we do have the money, and we are asking for trouble by not investing it to protect ourselves.

I don’t enjoy school; I’m an excellent mechanic Dr. Wallace: I am a high school senior and possess the academic ability to attend college. My parents are both college graduates and, of course, are planning for their only child, me, to follow in their footsteps. My concern is that I don’t enjoy school, and I’m not looking forward to four or more years of hearing lectures and taking exams.

At the present time, I’m working every Saturday at an auto repair shop and I love it. I’m an excellent auto mechanic, and I could work at this shop after I graduate from high school. My parents said they wouldn’t force me to enroll in college, but they

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace are hoping that I will.

They asked me to get your thoughts on this subject.

They remember a column you wrote on how going to college influenced your life.

Is it possible that you can run that column again? I’d enjoy hearing about college and your life experiences. – J.C., Worcester, Massachusetts J.C.: I had to go back quite a few years to find the column I think you were referring to.

The young man who wrote to me wanted to know, outside of my family, who had the

greatest positive influence on my life. Since higher education was most important in guiding me into a teaching career that I loved, two college instructors had the most positive influence on my life.

Most important was Dr. Walter North, a superb professor of sociology at Knox College who had faith that I had the ability to be successful in whatever profession I chose. Next was Dr. Mark Dean, a physical education professor at Northern Illinois University who took me under his “wing” while I was working on my master’s degree and encouraged me to teach and coach. It was excellent advice and I took it!

TODAY – You must have your wits about you this year if you don’t want to miss out on a good opportunity. Don’t be a daydreamer.

If you turn your ideas into something concrete, you won’t be sorry. You have everything to gain and nothing to lose.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Your possessive tendencies may be difficult for your mate to handle today. Don’t put demands on people you live with or love. Take this time to work on your own issues and give some space to those around you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Inevitable changes concerning your career may surprise you. Stomach problems due to nervous tension are likely. Try to remain calm and eat properly, and set up an exercise program to alleviate stress.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Don’t mix romance with business. Gossip will damage your reputation. At this time, honesty and discrimination are your greatest assets, so use them wisely.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – You can utilize your discipline to accomplish your personal goals. You have everything it takes to succeed in all your endeavors at this time, so get started.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Emotional problems with family members could stifle your plans. Residential moves or changes will be beneficial in the long term. Follow your instincts. You will be right on the mark with your decisions.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Travel should be on your agenda.

You can obtain a vast amount of knowledge if you keep an open mind and discuss your opinions with established individuals.

This is a wonderful day for learning.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – You should take some time to do things for and with your colleagues. You should be able to pick up additional knowledge or skills through courses or apprenticeships. It’s a good time to learn.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Your flippant nature will surface if you let your emotions get out of control. You need to get out and enjoy life. Look into activities that will provide you with mental and physical stimulation.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Added responsibilities may be difficult for you to handle. Do your best to make changes and improvements that will benefit the whole family. Make sure everyone knows that you could use a little help.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Love connections could solidify if you discuss your intentions with your mate. Don’t hesitate to set aside time and find a private place where the two of you can share your dreams.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Emotions may flare up on the home front. Take one step at a time and don’t pick sides. Your practical outlook will win out. Get advice from someone you respect.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Travel will lead to new friendships and valuable information. Don’t be afraid to accept inevitable changes in your personal life. They will ultimately be better for you in the long run.

I’m very fortunate, J.C., that many people have had a positive influence in my life. My high school friends at Emerson High School in Gary, Indiana, my shipmates aboard the USS Yancey during the Korean War, and the many teachers I enjoyed in my educational career were all instrumental in molding my life.

My advice to you is to go to college and graduate. If after graduation you still want to repair automobiles for a living, do it. The education you received will help you in all phases of your life.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 18 and pregnant. My parents are doing their best to get me to marry

BRIDGE Phillip Alder

the father, but I don’t love him. In fact, I don’t even like him. I really don’t know why I had sex with this guy, and abortion is out of the question.

Please print my letter and let my parents know that it would be a very big mistake for them to pressure me into getting married. Ironically, this guy wants to marry me.

– Nameless, St. Louis Mom and Dad: It would be very unwise for your daughter to marry someone she doesn’t care for. This marriage will be doomed the instant your daughter says, “I do.”

CROSSWORD

Difficult deals give difficult decisions Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, an architect who was born in Germany but lived in the United States from 1944 until his death in 1969, said, “A chair is a very difficult object. A skyscraper is almost easier. That is why Chippendale is famous.”

Bridge players sit in chairs and face difficult objects – the deals. This one, from a social game, is particularly taxing. How should the auction proceed after South opens one diamond (do you agree?) and West passes?

Yes, South might open two clubs, but his hand is a tad shy in high-card terms.

First, North must decide how to respond. Most would bid one spade, but if a 4-4 fit does not exist, bidding two clubs would be better.

Over one spade, South has no textbook rebid. Three diamonds is an underbid, and three no-trump (which shows a good long minor in a hand too strong for a three-diamond rebid) is unappealing with the low singleton club. My choice would be a two-heart reverse.

It is not ideal, but at least it is forcing. Here, North would presumably rebid in no-trump, and the hard part would be staying out of a slam.

If North responds two clubs, South can rebid a game-forcing three diamonds.

North will continue with three spades, and South is again in a quandary. I would continue with four diamonds, trusting that three no-trump is not the only making game.

Against six diamonds or six no-trump, West must lead either major suit to disrupt declarer’s communications.

Otherwise, declarer can establish dummy’s club suit and overtake his spade king with the ace to reach the dummy.
