Sycamore asked to revisit land plan

Group wants City Council to reconsider rejection of 300-acre annexation

By KATIE SMITH ksmith@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – Six property owners are asking the Sycamore City Council to reconsider an annexation agreement that would have paved the way for adding 300 acres to the city and allowed for residential development in the rural area northwest of the city.

The council rejected the proposed agreement at a meeting Nov. 2 after neighboring landowners raised concerns about the impact of future de-

velopment.

The six property owners said they are willing to compromise on some points to move forward with the annexation plans, according to a letter consultant Bill Nicklas wrote to the council on their behalf. The property owners want the 300 acres to be annexed into the city. They asked Nicklas, who previously served as Sycamore’s city manager, for help with the process.

“The very brief council discussions on October 19 and

November 2 cannot be characterized as a constructive dialogue with the petitioners, who have all along conformed to every applicable City code, ordinance and regulation,” Nicklas wrote in the letter, which addressed concerns raised at the meeting point by point.

To get the annexation agreement back in front of the council, a member who voted against the agreement would have to make a motion to reconsider the Nov. 2 vote, Sycamore Mayor Ken Mundy said.

“I’m of the opinion that the concessions agreed to by the petitioners is something the council should look at,” Mundy said. “So it will be up to council to vote whether or not to approve a reconsideration.”

In February 2011, the City Council approved the Northwest Sub Area Plan, which called for a rural conservation subdivision west of Motel Road to feather the city’s limits with sparse housing and farmland.

The city’s Planning Com-

mission unanimously supported the annexation plans at a meeting Oct. 12, sending the matter on to the City Council.

The City Council voted, 6-3, against the annexation agreement for one parcel and 8-1 in opposition of the remaining five parcels at the Nov. 2 meeting. Some members said they couldn’t vote in favor of the agreement because of the number of constituents who came to them with concerns.

“There was pressure put on to deny the petition,” Mun-

A LESS FROSTY SEASON El Niño may mean a mild winter for county

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN bkeeperman@shawmedia.com

There is a 99 percent chance that the average temperature from November to January will be between 20 and 37 degrees, which is pretty much on the mark with the overall average of 28 degrees in previous years, according to the National Weather Service.

But the predictions don’t necessarily mean that residents should leave their winter gear packed away.

“We’ll still have snow and some weather outbreaks,” Changnon said. “But they

MILD WINTER PREDICTED

DeKALB – Those who dread the freezing temperatures DeKalb winters often bring may be in luck this season.

Meteorologists are predicting a mild winter for the Midwest because of warming sea surface temperatures in the Pacific Ocean, a cycle referred to as “El Niño.”

DeKalb could see temperatures that average about 2 to 4 degrees warmer than normal, with fewer winter storms and snow.

“Warming sea surface temperatures alter the jet stream pattern,” said David Changnon, Northern Illinois University meteorology professor.

Jet stream patterns essentially determine weather trends, from rain and storms to warmer or cooler weather.

Even though El Niño occurs far from DeKalb, the pattern will affect the county’s weather and is expected to peak in December, Changnon said.

“It’s like playing cards,” Changnon said. “A strong El Niño will trump all the other cards. It will be the dominant [factor] that will dictate weather in the upper Midwest and United States.”

dy said. “You can’t fault our council for listening to their constituents.”

One point of contention was the future of the Sycamore Sportsman’s Club in a residential community. Some aldermen expressed concerns about the safety of families housed nearby, while others worried about noise complaints that might force the club to move.

The proposed agreement, however, includes a provision

won’t be as extreme and they won’t be as frequent.”

A milder winter could benefit the local economy and help residents save some cash on their heating bills, he added.

“Heating costs should be lower than usual,” he said. ‘If it’s warmer, people may be outside wanting to shop. There are better conditions for travel by car or by plane. … If there are fewer winter

COLUMBIA, Mo. – Student protests over racial incidents on the University of Missouri campus escalated over the weekend when at least 30 black football players announced they will not participate in team activities until the school’s president is removed.

President Tim Wolfe gave no indication he has any intention of stepping down, but agreed in a statement Sunday that “change is needed” and said the university is working to draw up a plan

by April to promote diversity and tolerance.

For months, black student groups have complained of racial slurs and other slights on the overwhelmingly white, 35,000-student campus. Their frustrations flared during the homecoming parade Oct. 10 when black protesters blocked Wolfe’s car and he would not get out and talk to them. They were removed by police.

On Saturday night, black members of the football team joined the outcry.

The athletes did not say explicitly whether they would boycott the team’s three remaining games this season. The Tigers’ next game is Saturday against BYU at Arrowhead Stadium,

the home of the NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs, and canceling it could cost the school more than $1 million.

“The athletes of color on the University of Missouri football team truly believe ‘Injustice Anywhere is a threat to Justice Everywhere,’ ” the players said in a statement. “We will no longer participate in any football related activities until President Tim Wolfe resigns or is removed due to his negligence toward marginalized students’ experience. WE ARE UNITED!!!!!”

Head football coach Gary Pinkel expressed solidarity with the black players on Twitter by posting a picture of the team and coaches locking arms. The tweet read: “The Mizzou Family stands as one. We are united. We are behind our players.”

Practice and other team activities were canceled Sunday, Pinkel and Missouri athletic director Mack Rhoades said in a joint statement. The statement linked the return of the protesting football players to the end of a hunger strike by a black graduate student who has vowed to not eat until Wolfe is gone.

“Our focus right now is on the health of Jonathan Butler, the concerns of our student-athletes and working with our community to address this serious issue,” the statement said.

Armed groups target elephants in Congo park

Overeaters Anonymous Time: 10 a.m. today Place: DeKalb Senior Services Center, 330 Grove St. Information: 815-758-4718

JOHANNESBURG – The eight suspected poachers stood under a tree, apparently unaware they were being tracked by 10 rangers from Congo’s Garamba National Park. But as the rangers approached, gunfire rang out from the tall grass nearby, where other heavily armed men were hidden. The dragnet swiftly turned into a desperate fight for survival.

The shootout last month, in which three rangers and a Congolese army colonel were killed, highlights the challenge of protecting parks in a part of Africa plagued for decades by insurgencies, civil war, refugee flows and weak governments. It shows how some conservation efforts resemble a kind of guerrilla warfare in which rangers and soldiers stalk – and are stalked by – poachers who are slaughtering Africa’s elephants and other wildlife.

Such violence is not confined to Garamba in northeastern Congo, on the border with South Sudan. Farther south, in Congo’s Virunga National Park, assailants killed a ranger last month and another died in a militia attack there in August.

More than 200 elephants have been poached in Garamba since a census in April 2014 counted 1,780 elephants – down from more than 11,000 two decades ago. The park is one of only a handful of sites in Congo with “a viable population of elephants,” despite the loss of many large mammals over the past five decades, said Bas Huijbregts, an expert with the World Wildlife Fund conservation group. Garamba was also once known as home to the last northern white rhinos in the wild, although none have been seen there for years.

The elite rapid response team members perform rope training Dec. 29, 2014, to ascend and descend from a helicopter at the Garamba National Park. Congo.

An earlier generation of poachers in Garamba killed with spears. Today’s intruders carry grenades and rocket launchers, and in some cases, have even targeted elephants from helicopters.

These gunmen have turned a world heritage site the United Nations defines as “in danger” into a spot where deadly skirmishes are likely to forestall significant tourism for quite some time.

“The threat is now completely militarized,” said Leon Lamprecht, operations director for African Parks, a nonprofit group based in Johannesburg that took over management of the 1,890-square-mile park a decade ago.

Garamba’s 120 rangers, backed by up to 60 Congolese soldiers, are trying to ward off rebels from nearby South Sudan, as well as ivory hunters and militias from Sudan and the Lord’s Resistance Army, a Ugandan rebel group led by warlord Joseph Kony, who is accused of war crimes.

Kony’s fighters are killing Garamba’s elephants and trading the ivory tusks for ammunition, food and

uniforms in Sudanese-controlled territory, according to a report released last month by Enough Project, a watchdog group, whose findings were based on interviews with rebel defectors.

The U.S. military is assisting African forces pursuing the Lord’s Resistance Army, and a U.N. peacekeeping mission of about 20,000 troops is deployed in eastern Congo, where many armed groups operate.

Garamba’s rangers have old firearms and African Parks is waiting for permission from Congo’s government to import better weapons, said Lamprecht, who recently returned from a trip to the park.

“It’s difficult for our rangers to defend themselves,” he said.

The Arabic-speaking poachers, believed to be from north Sudan, were tracked to an area 7.5 miles outside Garamba’s boundaries last month because they were carrying the satellite collar of a poached elephant, allowing rangers to follow signals to their camp Oct. 5, according to African Parks.

After they were attacked by

gunmen hidden in the grass, an unarmed park helicopter flew to the rangers’ aid and was fired on with belt-fed machine guns and withdrew, Garamba manager Erik Mararv wrote in an online account.

With rangers missing or still in the area of the shootout, African Parks asked U.N. peacekeepers and the U.S. Africa Command to send aircraft for a rescue.

U.S. troops were conducting operations with African forces in other areas at the time and were unable to divert aircraft to Garamba, the U.S. Africa Command said in a statement sent to The Associated Press. It also said its mandate does not include military support for Garamba’s rangers.

The U.N. made two helicopters available Oct. 7, but the pilots determined it was too dangerous to land at the site of the shooting, according to African Parks. On Oct. 8, rangers reached the site and found their dead comrades. U.N. helicopters assisted with the removal of the bodies.

The poachers had taken the dead rangers’ weapons as well as a satellite tracking device that a park aircraft followed for two days. At one point, the device was emitting signals from the center of a large group of cows, suggesting poachers were mingling with cattle herders to camouflage their movements.

Last month’s deadly shootout was only the latest to target those trying to protect Garamba’s wildlife.

In June, poachers killed a ranger and two soldiers in an ambush and one ranger was fatally shot in April. Garamba’s guards still head out on patrol. Despite the losses, Lamprecht said, “the morale is extremely good.”

Carson: Questions on background aren’t ‘real’ scandals

By LAURIE KELLMAN Associated Press WASHINGTON – Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson said Sunday that he’s facing an unprecedented level of scrutiny about the veracity of his life story and questioned whether the issues dogging him over his autobiography are important to the nation’s search for the next president.

“Every single day, every other day or every week, you know, they’re going to come out with, ‘Well, you said this when you were 13,’ ” the retired neurosurgeon said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.”

“The whole point is to distract the populace, to distract me,” Carson added. “If you’ve got a real scandal, if you’ve got something that’s really important, let’s talk about that.”

Moving on, at least in the short term, is unlikely. The accuracy of Carson’s autobiography has dominated his campaign in the past few days, and there are likely to be more questions asked on Tuesday during the next GOP presidential debate.

The scrutiny reflects Carson’s transformation from political outsider to the top of the polls in the unsettled nomination fight, second only to billionaire developer Donald Trump. And in early

voting Iowa, some polls show Carson’s leading.

Trump on Sunday tried to keep the allegations alive.

On several news shows, he repeated examples from Carson’s autobiography, “Gifted Ben Carson Hands,” including Carson’s claim that he hit his mother and unsuccessfully tried to stab someone. Several times, Trump quoted Carson as describing his younger self as having a “pathological” temper – and then demurred on his own opinion of Carson’s character and veracity.

“I just don’t know. I mean, I’m not involved. I don’t really know,” Trump said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

Carson insists no other candidate has received the level of scrutiny that he has.

Asked on NBC whether he is getting more than President Barack Obama and former President Bill Clinton, Carson replied: “Not like this.

Not even close.”

Scrutiny of his past is par for any major candidate for president, not only Carson. Obama’s citizenship was questioned and he later released a birth certificate showing that he was born

in Hawaii. Clinton’s marital dalliances were probed during his 1992 campaign.

The Miami Herald staked out then-Sen. Gary Hart’s townhouse in 1987 and caught him in an extramarital affair. Hillary Clinton, the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, last month testified about the private email server she kept at her house and used for government business while she was secretary of state.

Carson is a newcomer to presidential politics, so much about his life, career and published works are being raked over for the first time, and his longtime status as an American success story examined. Carson strongly disputed that there was any dishonesty intended.

Gone Sunday was the anger he showed during a press conference Friday, when the usually even-tempered Carson demanded that reporters explain why, in his opinion, Obama had not been subjected to the same scrutiny. “My job is to call you out when you’re unfair, and I’m going to continue to do that,” he said.

“Gifted Hands” is central to much of the scrutiny. It tells the story of Carson’s rise from a childhood in inner city Detroit to the director of pediatric neurosur-

gery at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore.

In it, he tells of trying to stab a close friend when he was a teenager. CNN reported it could not find friends or confidants to corroborate that story.

Politico published a piece examining Carson’s claim of receiving a scholarship offer to attend the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. The Wall Street Journal said it could not confirm Carson anecdotes from his high school and college years. The academy does not offer scholarships, instead extending all expenses paid to students it admits. Carson never applied for admission.

Last month, police in Baltimore said they didn’t have enough information to verify Carson’s account of being held at gunpoint more than 30 years ago at a fast-food restaurant in the city.

In the third GOP debate, Carson said it was “absolutely absurd” to say he had a formal relationship with the company Mannatech. He is featured in the company’s videos, including one from last year in which he credits the firm’s supplements with helping people restore a healthy diet.

Carson and his campaign forcefully reject any suggestion he has been less than completely truthful.

Snow removal is the biggest expense for DeKalb’s streets division, but the department won’t take into account weather predictions while preparing for the winter months, Mark Espy, assistant director of public works said.

“We plan for average winters,” he said. “Mother Nature can change really quickly. We will plan for a normal winter. … If we have a light winter, that’s wonderful. But we won’t plan on any adjustments based on predictions.”

Although extreme winters can impact street deterioration, a decrease in snowfall may not help, Espy said.

“Less snowfall is one thing, but if you still have drastic cold followed by warm, that is what makes the potholes,” he said. “It’d be better if it froze and stayed frozen, as opposed to that constant freeze, thaw, freeze pattern.”

“More people might come out if it’s warmer,” he said.

“We try to make Alpine Hills

as weather-proof as possible. … I don’t think we’ve ever had to cancel for lack of snow.”

Alpine Hills uses snow guns to prepare its hills for the season, Dimke said, so as long as it gets cold enough to put a base of snow down, the center should be good to go regard-

less of the natural elements.

“If you start making that base in the first week of December, you’ll have a four to six foot snow base,” he said. “Even if you get warmer weeks in the forecast, you still will have snow on the ground.”

adno=0361202

DeKALB – The city is gearing up to host the high school football championships, and the host committee is looking for a few good volunteers.

More than 30,000 people are expected to descend on DeKalb during the course of two days, Nov. 27 and 28, that the championship games will be played at Northern Illinois University’s Huskie Stadium.

The event will bring 16 prep teams to compete for state titles. Four games are scheduled to be played each day.

“The strength of the event is the volunteers,” said Brad Hoey, an NIU spokesman and member of the DeKalb County Convention and Visitors Bureau.

The host committee – composed of the IHSA Destination DeKalb Committee, the DeKalb County Convention and Visitors Bureau and Northern Illinois University – is looking forward to as many as 300 volunteers aiding in its efforts.

Those who want to help have to be 18 years old and not currently in high school, Hoey said IHSA stipulates. Sign-ups are at the committee’s website, ihsadestinationdekalb. com Volunteers would handle things, such as scanning tickets, serving as parking attendants and being ushers. They help the committee in dealing with event costs and with efforts to showcase the city and surrounding areas.

“It helps us keep the cost of the event manageable, helps us be able to sustain the

event,” Hoey said of the volunteerism. “It’s a great opportunity for people within our community and elsewhere to really show the welcoming and friendly spirit that we have here in DeKalb.”

DeKalb and NIU host the championships every two years. In 2013, the event pumped nearly $1 million into the local economy, according to the DCCVB. Officials there reported that 475 rooms were booked and there were 14 events that employed caterers. Also, gas sales increased and local restaurants reported as much as 50 percent higher revenues during the two days of games.

NIU alumnus and former Huskies cornerback Marckie Hayes, 24, already has signed up to be one of several team ambassadors. The volunteers will be assigned to work directly with each of the 16 football teams – from the time their bus rolls into DeKalb until they re-board and head back home.

Hayes, a Class of 2014 engineering major, is looking forward to greeting the prep players and coaches, showing them around the stadium and doing other assigned duties.

He said for him, it’s about “being able to give back.”

The former Sycamore High School football player said he knows how unnerving the games can be for the young players, so also hopes to throw in some words of advice.

“I was a walk-on kid to NIU and ended up earning my scholarship,” said Hayes. “So I have a soft-spot for kids who are driven and have goals in life.”

Survey: concern over accidents top reason teens won’t text while driving.

SPONSORED BY

Jeff Keicher

adno=0352319

Over 90 percent of teenage drivers are aware that texting at the wheel is a hazardous distraction, according to a survey of approximately one thousand teens by insurer State Farm. But despite the findings, 44 percent of drivers between 16 and 19 admit to texting at the wheel. When asked to name what would stop the risky behavior, concern about crashing was the top answer. Fear of arrest was the second most cited, with other concerns like not making their destination or getting caught by parents also mentioned.

In addition to smart phones, other distractions for teens include searching for music, talking with passengers and checking GPS for directions.

The State Farm survey revealed that distracting behaviors become more common among older teens, with those ages 18-19 much more

likely than those ages 16-17 to report participating in the activities listed in this study.

At least two-thirds of teen drivers reported being less likely to use their cellphone when driving in poor weather conditions.

The mission of State Farm is to help people manage the risks of everyday life, recover from the unexpected, and realize their dreams. State Farm and its affiliates are the largest providers of auto, home and individual life insurance in the United States. Commercial auto insurance, along with coverage for renters, business owners, boats and motorcycles, is also available. State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company is the parent of the State Farm family of companies.

The Jeff Keicher State Farm Agency serves the Sycamore area and works to promote better awareness of the dangers teens encounter on the road. If you have question or want to learn more about programs that benefit teen drivers, call 815-895-1945 or visit jeffkeicher.com.

Council members also concerned about allowing farm animals into location • ANNEXATION

Continued from page A1 that owners of the platted land must essentially acknowledge they can’t formally complain about the noise from the shooting range, Nicklas wrote in the letter to the council. He also pointed out that there are more than three dozen homes in subdivisions on county land “within an equal radius of the shooting range at the Sportsmen’s Club ... that have no limitations on their ability to bring suit against the Club.”

Council members also were concerned about allowing farm animals in the area, and suggested allowing private stables and livestock buildings to parcels of at least five acres or more rather than three. Upon reconsideration, the petitioners would agree to that suggestion, the letter said.

The mayor said the information in the letter could

“I know that our council are thoughtful people. They do care,” Mundy said. “They care about our community.

I know they’re going to take some time probably with the new information that’s [been] brought.”

Ken Mundy Sycamore Mayor prompt aldermen to take another look at the annexation plans.

“I know that our council are thoughtful people. They do care,” Mundy said. “They care about our community.

I know they’re going to take some time probably with the new information that’s [been] brought.”

Nicklas said the six property owners hope the aldermen will reconsider the issue. If not, it would mean they have to wait at least a year before returning to the council, Nicklas said.

The City Council’s vote also drew fire from Planning Commission member Michelle Schulz. In an email to the council, she said the its decision made her question the value of the commission.

“Your 6-3 vote Monday evening against the annexation agreement makes me wonder if the members of Sycamore Planning Commission are simply wasting our time,” she wrote. “You may have gotten feedback from members of the community regarding this decision, but what worth does Sycamore Planning Commission’s representation and vote hold?

You had the full support of Sycamore School District, Sycamore Park District, and all of the members of the Planning Commission.”

State’s stalled, construction because of his father’s alleged gang connections. projects hit colleges SPRINGFIELD – The state’s shutdown of building projects is being felt most at its colleges and universities.

An Associated Press analysis of state records shows Gov. Bruce Rauner’s order to stop work affected 218 jobs worth $707 million.

More than 65 percent of that money – $463 million – is tied up in 81 projects at 27 colleges and universities. Educators have scrambled for alternate space.

The projects remain idle because there’s no budget agreement.

Halted classroom renovation at the University of Illinois’ veterinary school forced officials to relocate 100 students.

A building at Olive-Harvey Community College in Chicago was supposed to open this month, but is one of 11 state projects that will need to be temporarily enclosed to protect it from winter weather at a total price of $2 million.

Memorial honoring slain Chicago boy burns down

CHICAGO – Chicago police said a candle lit at a memorial honoring a slain 9-year-old Chicago boy ignited a fire that destroyed the memorial and damaged a nearby garage.

However, Chicago Fire Department Cmdr. Walter Schroeder said the early Sunday blaze remains under investigation.

Chicago Fire Department Cmdr. Frank Velez said no one was injured by the fire in city’s South Side Gresham community.

The memorial was erected for Tyshawn Lee. Chicago police said the boy on Monday was “lured” from a park into an alley and executed

exchange ideas.

The community arose after the principals of Central A&M, Moulton and Okaw Valley middle schools took a class together, the Decatur Herald and Review reported. A top concern they discussed was that teachers in small districts don’t have professional development and collaboration opportunities like in larger districts.

Central A&M Middle School Principal Ryan Scott said the answer to that problem was to create the learning community to let teachers get together.

Scott said the goal is to serve as a resource to each other because schools are all “teaching the same thing.”

“We’re all in the trenches with similar goals and resources, so we might as well help each other, because we’re kind of limited and isolated,” Scott said.

Okaw Valley Middle School Principal Ross Forlines said the idea was for teachers, including those who are the only ones in a subject at their school, to meet and bounce ideas off each other.

“We’re all in the same boat with small schools, struggling economies,” Frolines said.

“We’re teaching same stuff to similar demographics, so why not share?”

Nicole Cunningham, the only literature teacher at Okaw Valley Middle School, said it’s helpful to share ideas with others in her subject. Nathan Bohannon, who teaches language arts at Central A&M, said he told those in his small group of colleagues how he gradually introduces concepts in the weeks before a research paper is due.

Scott said science and math teachers met in September, and are interested in meeting again in the spring.

The child’s father, Pierre Stokes, has disagreed with authorities’ characterization of him.

Investigators have executed several search warrants in the investigation, and a $54,600 reward has been offered for any information leading to an arrest.

The funeral for Tyshawn is set for Tuesday.

Burial delays funeral for family’s matriarch

CHICAGO – A planned Chicago funeral didn’t take place Saturday because the person to be remembered had already been buried.

WBBM-TV reported the family of Ella Mae Rutledge was at Leak and Sons Funeral Home to approve the body for visitation when family members determined the body they were viewing couldn’t be their mother.

Monique Williams said the deceased woman had long fingernails, not short like her mothers. And when she pulled away the wig on the woman, she saw black hair, not the gray of her mother’s.

Williams said after Leak representatives showed her three other bodies, it was determined her mother had already been buried Friday by another family.

Rutledge’s body was exhumed and returned to the funeral home.

In a statement, Leak and Sons said it had no comment in deference to the families involved.

The three men’s arrest came 10 days after the final ruling on Okedina’s death and Phillips’ announcement that NIU police would investigate how he got the drugs.

mortgage payments.

More than 1 million seniors have taken advantage of this “retirement secret.”

Americans are living longer. Home values are up. And for many senior citizens, their home is their single biggest asset, often accounting for more than 50% of their net worth.

With the cost of basic necessities such as food on the rise, it’s no wonder why more and more seniors are using HECM reverse mortgages to turn their home equity into extra cash for retirement.

However, there are still millions of homeowners who could benefit from this FHA-insured loan but may simply not be aware of this “retirement secret,” notes Former U.S. Senator Fred Thompson.

“You know, some people have told me that reverse mortgages sound too good to be true. You get cash out of your home, no monthly payments, and you still own your home,” says Senator Thompson.

NO MONTHLY MORTGAGE PAYMENTS?* EXTRA CASH? It’s true, no monthly mortgage payments are required with a reverse mortgage; the homeowners only have to pay for maintenance, property taxes, homeowner’s insurance and, if required, their HOA fees.

In fact, reverse mortgages took hold when president Ronald Reagan signed the FHA In 1988, President Reagan signed the mortgage bill into law FHA Reverse Mort- over 25 years ago to gage bill into law. help senior citizens remain in their homes.

“They’re simply an effective way for folks 62 and older to get the cash they need to enjoy their retirement,” notes Thompson.

“I now have paid off my credit cards and have money in the bank and still have my home.”

- Margaret Tennant, Summerfield, NC Although today’s HECM reverse mortgages have been greatly improved to provide greater protection for homeowners, there are still a lot of misconceptions. For example, many people mistakenly believe the home must be paid off in full in order to qualify for a reverse mortgage, which is not the case. One key benefit of a reverse mortgage is that it automatically pays off your existing mortgage, which frees up cash flow, a huge blessing for those on a fixed income.

Unfortunately, many homeowners who could benefit from a reverse mortgage don’t even bother to get more information due to rumors they’ve heard. That’s a shame because reverse mortgages are helping many seniors live a better life.

A recent survey by American Advisors Group (AAG), the nation’s number one reverse mortgage lender, found that 96% of their clients were satisfied with their reverse mortgages.

If you’re a homeowner age 62 or older, you owe it to yourself to learn more. You may be pleasantly surprised by what you discover.

Bypassing the gas tax

Robots make the perfect employee.

They don’t complain, they don’t get sick, and, as of this writing, they don’t have babies. When robots can do the job in today’s economy, they get the job.

When they can’t, a human must suffice.

You still need a human to make the perfect latte, ask security questions at the airport and, for the time being, drive a taxi.

That hasn’t stopped many employers from trying to robotize the people they can’t do without. Many have built business models in which they can, in effect, dust off a human when its labor is required and ignore all its other needs.

This is the famous gig economy. It’s app-based cab services insisting that their drivers are private contractors not entitled the traditional benefits of employment. It’s national chain stores calling employees to duty at a moment’s notice, the heck with any schedule.

Some good people are challenging such employment policies, but there’s a more long-term approach: Give up defending a traditional model of employment that’s dying and come up with a new one. Any realistic solution would require a lot more government intervention and sharing of the national wealth.

I can already hear my conservative friends blowing their tops, but they should hear out the arguments.

A paper out of Brookings Institution – “What happens if robots take the jobs?” – describes the stakes and offers responses.

VIEWS Froma Harrop (I’ve taken the liberty of shortening the title.)

“We need a way to provide health care, disability and pension benefits outside of employment,” author Darrell West writes.

How? For starters, provide a guaranteed income for all. Think of it as an expansion of the earned income tax credit now supporting many low-wage workers and their families.

Isn’t there something socially debilitating about living on government “handouts”? Well, that’s a good question.

An answer, West told me, could be to attach some kind of work requirement to the checks. (Many states already do that with welfare benefits.) The work could be an existing job or government programs that pay people to do something useful.

It’s been done before. The Works Progress Administration was created during the Great Depression to employ armies of out-of-work Americans. The fruits can be seen today in some of the country’s most gorgeous courthouses, zoos and libraries – and great works of art, theater and music.

Some propose paying for volunteer activities having humanitarian value.

Examples could include working for

the Red Cross, a hospital or a school.

Our Social Security system allocates benefits on the basis of work credits. We could extend credits for certain volunteerism, as is already done in Britain.

Those conservative friends are moaning that the expense would be borne by the most productive Americans. It would “kill” the jobs they create. Well, some of those entrepreneurs did create jobs, but taxes were a lot lower then.

And contrary to ideology, many of our most successful business minds have become unimaginably rich finding ways to get rid of workers, certainly the American ones. They’ve cut pay and benefits and are no longer sharing the profits generated by rising productivity.

What small-government conservatives must ask is whether they have a better way to pull America’s working class to safety, out of the path of oncoming tsunami of robotic competition.

They should be mindful that machines don’t have the vote yet. Also, a big crowd of jobless humans hanging out on street corners leads to crime and social unrest.

“If you have a large number of unemployed people,” West said, “the United States starts looking like Egypt.”

We Americans have a lot to talk about – things that really matter.

Flyaway blimp? Funny; $2.7 billion? Less funny

By TOBIN HARSHAW Bloomberg View Many laughs were had when an Army blimp broke free of its tethers and went on a joyride over Maryland and Pennsylvania – with everyone from Sen. John McCain to national-security leaker Edward Snowden getting in on the joke.

That wild goose chase, however, may end up being very serious, and expensive, for Raytheon, which gets most of the $2.7 billion taxpayers are spending on a threat-detection system the Pentagon admits has “low system reliability.”

The Joint Land Attack Cruise Missile Defense Elevated Netted Sensor System, a mouthful we’ll just call Jlens, is a radar array kept aloft at

10,000 feet by pairs of 242-foot helium aerostats and intended to identify threats to the Eastern Seaboard. In theory, Jlens would detect enemy planes, missiles and drones over a radius of 340 miles and forward the information to U.S. fighter jets or missile systems, which then would go in for the kill.

That is the theory. The reality has been much different.

Initiated in 1998 with a $292 million contract, the project got an understandable boost after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001; in 2005 the military signed on for 27 of the craft. But since then, the project has been a series of expensive follies. While there were the usual mishaps in early development, software glitches and the like, a bigger setback came in 2010, when a

civilian balloon crashed into a Jlens blimp and sent it crashing to the ground. There went $182 million.

According to a stellar piece of investigative reporting

by David Willman of the Los Angeles Times, a 2012 Pentagon report noted the system struggled to stay aloft and had trouble telling friend from foe. An assessment the next year concluded Jlens “did not demonstrate the ability to survive in its intended operational environment.”

A large contingent of Army brass, concerned also that the whole system required too much ground support to give it effective mobility, has spent years trying to end the program. True to form, a few members of Congress whose

states benefit from the program – and who are lobbied by notables like retired Gen. James Cartwright, a former vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff – have kept it alive. Maybe not much longer.

The military use of inflatables dates to the Battle of Fleurus in 1794, when Napoleon’s army used one to spy on enemy positions.

Sometimes these initiatives have been great successes, as with the U.S. Navy airships that protected World War II convoys from German U-boats.

But many others have ended in wasted money and lives. Jlens stands out among that crowd only in terms of total expenditure; let’s just be relieved that this time, nobody ended up getting killed.

AMENDMENT

Daily Chronicle Section A • Page 9

ANOTHER VIEW

Facing the robot tsunami

THE FIRST

November 9, 2015

Speaker Paul D. Ryan, R-Wisconsin, promised to return the House to good order, and he started by touting the “open” process for considering a major bill setting transportation policy for the next six years.

The process, however, apparently wasn’t open enough to allow for a vote on the most obvious transportation solution: raising the gasoline tax to pay for the country’s roads and rails.

House leaders established the Highway Trust Fund in 1956, supported by a 3-cent-per-gallon gas tax, and passed periodic increases thereafter. The tax last was raised in 1993, to 18.4 cents per gallon.

The policy is elegant: Those who use the roads pay for them, which discourages unnecessary or excessive driving and gives the country’s infrastructure budget a predictable source of funding.

Since 1993, inflation and other factors have eroded the value of the revenue the gas tax provides.

A functional Congress would conclude that raising the tax to keep up with inflation would be the simple way to repair the policy and provide badly needed roads money. Instead, Congresses since 1993 have resorted to gimmicky, short-term patches for the transportation budget, the legislative equivalent of looking under the couch cushions for loose change.

Two proposed amendments would have brought budgetary sanity to the House’s latest transportation package. One, from Rep. Earl Blumenauer, D-Oregon, simply and immediately would have raised the gas tax. Although the best policy, it would have faced a politically tough road. Another should have had more of a chance. Reps. James B. Renacci, R-Ohio, and Bill Pascrell Jr., D-New Jersey, suggested establishing a task force to recommend a stable, long-term funding policy for the transportation budget. If Congress refused its recommendations or failed to act by 2019, the gas tax would be set to increase. Moreover, the amendment would have pegged the gas tax to inflation, which is something Congress should have done decades ago.

PREP FOOTBALL: MONTINI 42, KANELAND 7

MORNING KICKOFF

Johnson passes Keselowski late for win

FORT WORTH, Texas – Jimmie Johnson raced to his fourth consecutive Texas fall victory, overcoming Brad Keselowski’s dominating Chase-contending car with three laps to go Sunday.

Keselowski led a track-record 312 of 334 laps after starting off the pole. He worked hard to hold on to the lead after the final restart with 18 laps left in a race he felt he needed to win to get one of the four spots in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship finale in two weeks.

“I’m not sure exactly how to feel about it at the moment,” Keselowski said.

With the already-eliminated Johnson winning, three spots are still up for grabs at Phoenix, the last race before the Nov. 22 finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway. The only championship contender set is retiring four-time champion Jeff Gordon, the Martinsville winner last week and Johnson’s teammate at Hendrick Motorsports.

Kyle Busch leads the points race for at least two of the spots, ahead of defending Chase champion Kevin Harvick and Martin Truex Jr. Carl Edwards is next, followed by Keselowski, Kurt Busch and Joey Logano.

Johnson led only six laps to get his fifth win of the season, his first in 20 starts.

The No. 48 Chevrolet also won the spring race at Texas, and won the previous three fall races at the high-banked, 1½-mile track.

After the final restart, Keselowski and Truex were sideby-side, and even bumped at one point before Truex went in front very briefly.

Keselowski almost as quickly got back in front, and Johnson went charging past Truex as well into second place and right on the leader’s tail. Truex lost his power steering in those closing laps.

Johnson kept pushing and on the backstretch on lap 331, he went to the bottom and was able to get around for the lead. Johnson went on to win by more than a second.

“I did everything I could to hold him off but he was way faster that last run,” Keselowski said. “As I sit right now, and maybe I’ll change my mind, I don’t know what I would have done differently, or could have done differently.”

WHAT TO WATCH Pro basketball Bulls at Philadelphia, 6 p.m., NBA Pro football Bears at San Diego, 7:25 p.m., ESPN, WCIU

By JESSE SEVERSON jseverson@shawmedia.com LOMBARD – For the third time in five years, the Kaneland football team’s season ended at the hands of Lombard Montini.

The top-seeded Broncos jumped on the No. 8 Knights early, building a five-touchdown lead less than 30 seconds into the second quarter of a 42-7 win in the second round of the Class 6A state

tournament on a sunny Saturday afternoon in Lombard.

“That’s not the way we wanted to start the game, but they have a tremendous football team, everybody knows that,” Kaneland coach Tom Fedderly said. “All the credit goes to them. They beat us in all phases of the game today.”

In the 2010 and 2011 Class 5A semifinals, the Broncos, who were the underdog against the No. 1 Knights each time, knocked out Kane-

Kaneland senior quarterback Jake Marczuk finished with a game-high 103 rushing yards on 14 carries and had a game-long 48-yard touchdown run early in the third quarter. He went 6 for 13 passing for 32 yards, with no touchdowns and two interceptions – both in the first quarter.

DeKalb kicker Connor Hoylet celebrates with the Crows Nest Crazies Saturday after the Barbs defeated Deerfield, 38-27, in a Class 6A playoff game in Deerfield.

On to the next one

Long drives lead DeKalb past Deerfield, into quarterfinals EDDIE CARIFIO ecarifio@shawmedia.com DEERFIELD – With the DeKalb football team looking to ice the game and all but guarantee a trip to the Class 6A quarterfinals, Luke Davis wanted the ball.

With Deerfield keying in on receivers Tony Tate and Cole Tucker, the senior wide receiver got his wish.

Davis made a leaping, one-handed catch on a lob pass from quarterback Derek Kyler, pushing the Barbs’ lead into double digits in the final minutes of a 38-27 win against No. 13-seeded Deerfield on Saturday.

The play capped a 13-play, 74-yard drive for the No. 5 Barbs (9-2), who will host No. 1 Montini (11-0) in the

quarterfinals this week. Kyler had to scramble on a third-and-7 early in the drive, finding Tucker in double coverage. He made a leaping catch to come up with the first down. Later in the drive, Kyler found Tucker over the middle in tight coverage for a 21yard gain on fourth-and-8 to set the Barbs up with first-and-goal, leading two plays later to Davis’ score with 2:02 left.

“That wasn’t the original play, but I told Derek this is a big moment, this is my senior year, I want the ball,” Davis said. “I want the game in my hands. I was just really excited to give my team a bigger advantage.

We were already up by four and that touchdown just sealed it for us.”

DeKalb quarterback Derek Kyler and the Barbs run to their fans to celebrate their 38-27 win over Deerfield in a Class 6A playoff game Saturday.

Bears linebacker Pernell McPhee celebrates sacking Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater in the fourth quarter Nov. 1 at Soldier Field. The Bears lost to the Vikings, 23-20.

SAN DIEGO – Bears outside linebacker Pernell McPhee, who gets more joy out of playing football than most, loves playing against Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers.

“He talks a lot of trash,” McPhee said. “It’s all competitive stuff. He’ll get in your face. He’s a great guy. He’s a fun guy to play against. I played him three years [with the Ravens]. You hit him, and he’ll get up and tell you to keep bringing it. That’s the fun part about playing Philip Rivers.”

As much fun as it is, McPhee knows the challenge against Rivers and the Chargers on Monday night at Qualcomm Stadium will

VIEWS Mark Potash be not only outtalking Rivers, but also outplaying him.

“I don’t want to make it seem like he’s just trash talking,” McPhee said. “I’m looking forward to playing against him.”

The challenge presents an opportunity for the defense to prove something after faltering in the clutch last week against the Vikings. The unit feels like it let one get away by allowing two scoring drives in the final 4:55

after holding the Vikings to two field goals in the first 55:05.

The defense is in a formative stage, but it’s making progress under coordinator Vic Fangio.

The collapse against the Vikings was a sign of how close it is and how far it has to go. The Bears are ninth in the NFL in yards allowed (342 per game) but 23rd in defensive points allowed (23.9 per game).

“The only problem we have is finishing,” defensive end Jarvis Jenkins said. “We have to put four quarters together instead of three.”

Prosise undergoing concussion protocol

SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Coach Brian Kelly says running back C.J. Prosise is undergoing concussion protocol after being injured in No. 6 Notre Dame’s win over Pittsburgh.

He will go through a physical conditioning test Monday, and is hopeful Prosise will be play against Wake Forest.

Prosise appeared to injure his left shoulder when he landed on it hard late in the first quarter and his helmet also hit the ground. Kelly said Sunday it was more the neck, describing it as a “whiplash effect.”

Prosise finished with 28 yards rushing and 29 yards receiving. He leads Notre Dame (8-1) with 975 yards rushing on 148 carries, an average of 6.6 yards.

With Prosise out, freshman Josh Adams ran for 147 yards on 20 carries. Kelly said even if Prosise is healthy, Adams likely will get some carries against Wake Forest (3-6) Saturday.

Knox surprise winner of WGC tourney in China

SHANGHAI – Russell Knox made an unexpected trip to Shanghai and left with a most surprising victory Sunday in the HSBC Champions.

Knox only found out a week ago Friday that he was in the HSBC Champions as an alternate when J.B. Holmes withdrew.

Bulls guard Derrick Rose (left) shoots as Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (center) and guard Ricky Rubio defend during the second half Saturday at the United Center. The Timberwolves won in overtime, 102-93.

BULLS ANALYSIS

Responsibility for Bulls’ letdowns falls on Rose liers, Rose was a minus-1.

“It’s all about effort,” Rose said after the game Saturday.

spotlight games but turn in inconsistent efforts against the rest of the league?

“I don’t know,” Rose said.

“We can’t put a finger on it. Who knows? If I had the answer, this would have been stopped. But it’s something I think we just have to figure out as a group.”

Rose then was asked whether that responsibility should fall on the veterans, starting with him.

“I wouldn’t single out one person, but it falls on the entire team,” he said. “It’s just bringing in that effort, being the aggressor when you’re out there on the defensive end, the offensive end.”

The entire team?

Aaron Brooks is allowed to have inconsistent games and inconsistent levels of energy.

That’s what a reserve point guard making $2.25 million a year does. But a guy making $20 million-plus this season who already has said he’s looking forward to his next

free-agent payday in 2017? His energy level and effort have to be on full display from game to game and practice to practice.

Jimmy Butler shouldn’t have had to declare himself the de facto leader of the Bulls, but he saw very little choice, especially given that he shares a backcourt with a player who doesn’t even realize his star is dimming.

There will be more 29-point games and lategame heroics from Rose this season. The problem is, there will be handful of 4-for-12 nights between those types of outings.

That’s not going to get it done. That’s not championship-caliber.

Let Rose’s defenders keep thumping their chests, like they did after his stellar performance against the Thunder. Come mid-May, it will be nothing more than a faint murmur.

BLACKHAWKS 4, OILERS 2

Panarin, Kane combine for 7 points

By MARK LAZERUS mlazerus@suntimes.com CHICAGO – Blackhawks fans who bought tickets for Sunday’s game against the Edmonton Oilers probably did so hoping they’d see the NHL’s top rookie.

Well, they might have, after all.

Artemi Panarin continued his brilliant start to the season with two goals and an assist as the Hawks knocked off the Connor McDavid-less Oilers, 4-2, at the United Center. Patrick Kane added a goal and three assists as the reunited line of Panarin, Artem Anisimov and Kane did all the scoring for the Hawks.

With McDavid sidelined with a broken collarbone, Panarin has emerged as the early front-runner for the Calder Trophy as the NHL’s rookie of the year. Panarin blanches a bit at the idea that he’s a rookie – he just turned 24, after all, and has been playing in Russia’s KHL since 2009, including full seasons the past two years. But he’s technically a rookie, and his first-two goal game gives him 15 points (four goals, 11 as-

Line with Anisimov in on all goals

shots in the period. But Crawford stopped every one, the most impressive being a toe save on a hard-charging Jordan Eberle late in the period.

The Oilers finally broke through early in the third period when Eberle put in a Ryan Nugent-Hopkins rebound, but Kane’s backhander off a nice Anisimov feed was a big insurance goal for the Hawks, who improved to 7-1-1 at home (they’re 1-5-0 on the road). Kane has at least one point in 10 straight games. With 22 points, he’s one behind Dallas’ Tyler Seguin for the league lead.

Edmonton got a late goal by Andrej Sekera with the goalie pulled, but Anisimov scored with 5.1 seconds left on a power play to seal it.

In a bizarre and potentially dangerous moment midway through the third period, a AP photo mat used to improve acoustics Hawks right wing Patrick Kane looks to pass against Edmonton Oilers left in the arena fell to the ice just wing Benoit Pouliot in the first period Sunday at the United Center. before a faceoff.

Davis: It shows we’re not a team that’s going to quit • DEKALB

Continued from page B1 Coach Matt Weckler said it was a good read on the play by Kyler – who finished 15 of 20 for 210 yards, three touchdowns and an interception.

“It was actually a play called to the outside with Tony and Tucker,” Weckler said. “They were taking those guys away and Derek did a good job looking them off and looking backside for Luke, who ran a little hook in the end zone. He made a great catch.”

The drive answered a touchdown drive by the Warriors (7-4) that cut the lead to 31-27 with 7:22 left. The drive before, the Barbs had taken their first two-digit lead when Kyler found Tony Tate for a 19-yard touchdown catch, capping a 14play, 97-yard drive that after a penalty was on the DeKalb 1-yard line.

“It shows we’re not a team that’s going to quit,” Davis said. “We’re going to keep pushing and keep pushing. We start off slow in the first half but we get to go home and worry about whoever we got next.”

The Barbs started the drive after getting their first defensive stop of the second half, but were pinned on their own 3. A run for a loss by David Long followed by a chop block and the Barbs were at their own 2 facing second-and-11. They benefited later in the drive from a pass interference when Kyler tried to find Davis over the middle on third and 15.

“We were just happy getting 3 to 4 yards and just maintaining first downs,” Weckler said.

“We weren’t getting big chunks of yardage but we made enough to get third and short and still have a run-pass option. It took a lot of time off the clock.”

Kyler said the drive was a game changer.

“Our momentum, we were all pumped up having gone on a 97-yard drive,” Kyler said.

“It gave us a lot of momentum, which was huge. It was just a great drive.”

Deerfield finished the game with a 364-357 edge in total yardage thanks to a big first half.

The Warriors scored on the second play of the game when Lukas Kerstein broke off a 66yard touchdown run. The Barb defense keyed on Fisher and Kerstein was open for the pitch

from quarterback Anthony Ranallo.

DeKalb mounted a drive, but when Kyler went deep to Tucker, Charles Jones came up with the interception. Two plays layer, Kerstein fumbled the ball back to the Barbs on the Deerfield 15, leading to an 8-yard run by Long to tie the game. Long finished the game with 112 yards on 22 carries.

In the second quarter, DeKalb mounted an 11-play, 71yard scoring drive that almost wasn’t. On the second play, Kyler scrambled for 17 yards but lost control of the ball when he was tackled from behind and the Warriors recovered. The officials ruled Kyler was down before he lost control, then nine plays later he found Tony Tate in traffic for a 16-yard touchdown pass and the Barbs’ first lead of the game.

“If I would have fumbled, I would have been mad at myself and disappointed,” Kyler said.

“But it was a huge play call and I’m glad it went our way.”

Deerfield tied the score with 2:50 left in the half on a 31-yard run by Fisher. DeKalb went three-and-out on its possession fast enough to give the Warriors the ball and time to drive, but the scoring attempt got no closer than the DeKalb 27.

The Barbs opened the scoring in the second half with a 23-yard field goal by Connor Tierney, then Deerfield took what would be its last lead of the game 21-17 on a 65-yard run

by Anthony Ranallo with 9:33 left in the third quarter.

DeKalb started the next drive at the Warrior 19 thanks to a big return by Brian Ross and a horse-collar penalty. Two plays later, Long was in the end zone and the Barbs were up 2421.

Tate had four catches for 76 yards and two scores, while Tucker didn’t find the end zone but had eight catches for 102 yards. For the Warriors, three players had at least 80 rushing yards, and the team attempted just three passes before the fourth quarter.

The win gives the Barb seniors at least one more home game next week, facing one of the most powerful teams in the state.

“It feels amazing,” Davis said. “DeKalb hasn’t done anything like this in a while.

It just feels good to do this in my senior year, and I’m doing it for the seniors last year who couldn’t be here with us.”

‘I’m really proud with how we finished the end of the season’ • KANELAND

Continued from page B1 game, was led by senior quarterback Justin Blake (10 for 13 passing, 78 yards, two TDs and nine carries for 84 yards and a touchdown) and junior running back Prince Walker (11 carries for 98 yards and two touchdowns).

On Saturday, the powerhouse Broncos had the game under control before the first quarter was over, dominating field position in the opening half.

All five of Kaneland’s first quarter possessions began on the 20-yard line via touchback, with Montini kicker Michael Cooney having the wind at his back. Meanwhile, Montini had three possessions begin inside the Kaneland 33 – thanks to two interceptions and a 4-yard punt.

“We knew coming in that they were a powerful team,” Marczuk said. “It was a bad way to start off and I think that lead the rest of the way for us, but hats off to Montini.

They’re a good football team and they’re going to go really far in the playoffs.”

The Knights (7-4) had a tough time getting anything going on offense against a

tough Bronco defense in the first half. They finished with 32 yards of offense (24 passing, eight rushing) in the first half with the Montini starters in – 18 of which came on the Knights’ opening drive of the game.

“They had a nice drive to start the game and we ended up holding them,” Andriano said. “But then we adjusted and settled into their offense and our defense took over and then it was lights out and we got the field position the rest of the quarter.”

The Knights (7-4) advanced to the second round after a dramatic 33-31 victory against Belvidere North in Maple Park after Drew Franklin made the game-winning field goal with 1:01 remaining. It was the first playoff victory at Class 6A in school history.

“I’m really proud with how we finished the end of the season,” Fedderly said. “We turned things around. We were 3-3 and won four straight games and are the first team to win a 6A playoff game, so they have a lot to be proud of.”

Montini, which beat No. 16 Wauconda, 35-7, in the first round, has played in the Class 5A state championship game in each of the past six seasons – winning four of them.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Officials take center stage again

By ERIC OLSON The Associated Press LINCOLN, Neb. – Another week, it looks like another officiating blunder in college football.

The Big Ten said Sunday that officials used the proper mechanics to indicate a Nebraska player stepped out of bounds and returned to the field before catching the winning touchdown pass against Michigan State on Saturday night.

The conference, however, didn’t say whether the officials’ determination that Brandon Reilly was forced out of bounds – and thus able to come back inbounds and make a legal catch – was right.

“We don’t comment on judgment calls, but can confirm that proper technique was used, and provide additional information on instant replay,” conference spokesman Scott Chipman wrote in an email to The Associated Press.

The Spartans’ 39-38 loss all but ended their hopes of making the College Football Playoff. They dropped from No. 6 to No. 14 in this week’s AP poll.

They were No. 7 in last week’s initial CFP top 25.

It wasn’t the only officiating mistake Saturday.

On Sunday, the Pac-12 suspended line judge Rich Troyer and downgraded the entire crew from Washington State’s home game against Arizona State for giving the Cougars an extra down.

The play came in the second quarter, when the officials blew a play dead that appeared to leave Washington State receiver Gabe Marks short of the marker on fourth down. After

Washington State scored on the next play and went on to win, 38-24.

The Pac-12 said the officials should have stopped the play when the whistle for forward progress was blown and awarded the ball to the Sun Devils.

Last week the Atlantic Coast Conference suspended officials for several mistakes they made in ruling on the eight-lateral play that resulted in Miami’s winning touchdown against Duke. The ACC said the touchdown shouldn’t have counted, but it did not overturn the result.

Michigan State was trying to hold off a late charge by Nebraska when the Cornhuskers’

Reilly stepped out of bounds at about the 7 and came back in to catch the 30-yard pass from Tommy Armstrong Jr. with 17 seconds left. After huddling, officials ruled Reilly was forced out of bounds by cornerback Jermaine Edmondson – allowing Reilly to remain an eligible receiver. Though there was slight contact between the two, television replays did not support that Reilly was pushed or forced out.

Referee John O’Neill announced the play would be reviewed. But the only thing replay official Tom Kissinger could review under the rules in this circumstance was whether Reilly stepped out of bounds or if there was contact.

The answer to both is yes.

Whether Edmondson, who was running in front of Reilly, actually forced the receiver

out of bounds by contact was a judgment call to be left to the on-field officials.

“In the judgment of the official, the Nebraska player went out of bounds due to contact by the Michigan State player, then returned to the field of play and established himself before catching the touchdown pass,” the Big Ten statement said. “The instant replay crew then stopped the game to review if there was clear evidence of contact, if the Nebraska player re-established himself in the field of play and completed the catch. Per NCAA rules, the instant replay crew cannot review the severity of contact, as that is a judgment call handled by the officials on the field.”

Fox Sports officiating guru Mike Pereira didn’t agree with the call.

“I did not think that the defender forced the receiver out of bounds,” Pereira tweeted.

“There was some contact but not enough.”

Big Ten Network analyst Gerry DiNardo said Sunday that the call should start a discussion about adding more reviewable kinds of plays, albeit “cautiously.”

Reilly’s touchdown came at the end of a 91-yard play drive that lasted 38 seconds. Michigan State could have all but ended the game if cornerback Arjen Colquhoun had been able to hold on to an interception in the end zone the play before Reilly’s touchdown.

“For Nebraska to march down the field as quickly as they did, I think Michigan State’s staff would admit maybe they put the game in the hands of officials,” DiNardo said.

‘We have to find a better way to close out games and finish games with an attitude’ • BEARS

Continued from page B1

Last time they met Nov. 20, 2011: Bears won, 31-20, at Soldier Field

Key matchup to watch Bears pass rush vs. Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers: The Bears’ defense is going to have to find a way to slow Rivers and San Diego’s top-ranked passing offense, and the pass rush needs to awaken. Rivers is not mobile, but he has a quick release and good footwork in the pocket to avoid pressure. He’s been hit 60 times but sacked only 19 times, as the Chargers are 15th in the league in sacks per pass attempt. Even with injuries up front – Rivers will be without left tackle King Dunlap on Monday night – the Chargers have allowed one sack in each of the past two games.

Bears players not named Pernell McPhee have not been effective rushing the quarterback. McPhee has 11 of the team’s 32 QB hits and five of the 12 sacks. Jarvis Jenkins flashed early in the season, but has been neutralized of late. An edge rusher opposite McPhee has to take advantage of the Chargers’ deficiencies up front, make Rivers uncomfortable and put the Chargers in third-and-long situations. Sam Acho, Lamarr Houston and Willie Young are on notice to give McPhee some help.

The Bears will win if …

Jay Cutler protects the football. He’s done a good job of it this season, and if this is a game for the offenses to pile up points, he can’t afford any giveaways. If Jeremy Langford gets going against a bad Chargers run defense, that should make things easier for Cutler. In addition to rattling and limiting Rivers, the Bears can win if they take advantage of potentially the only game in which they have an edge on special teams.

The Chargers will win if …

Rivers takes advantage of a Bears secondary that has been exposed late in losses to Detroit and Minnesota. That’ll require some help from his makeshift offensive line as well as a complement in Melvin Gordon. If the Chargers’ defense gets off the field on third down and forces a Cutler turnover or two, that’ll go a long way in getting them back in the win column.

Fishbain’s pick: Bears 33, Chargers 30 – Kevin Fishbain, kfishbain@chicagofootball.com

The Bears’ minus-14 differential between their ranking in yards (ninth) and points (23rd) is a sure sign of an inefficient defense.

The good teams generally are the opposite. The Patriots are 12th in yards allowed but sixth in points; the Packers are 23rd in yards but eighth in points.

Fangio’s best defenses with the 49ers were always strong in yards/points differential – fourth in yards/second in points in 2011; third in yards/second in points in 2012; and fifth in yards/third in points in 2013. Last year, the 49ers faltered – they were fifth in yards and 10th in points – and finished 8-8. That’s one reason Fangio is here today.

The Bears don’t know yet how to put the hammer down. Against the Vikings, they led 20-13 with less than five minutes to play and the Vikings facing second-and-17 at their 9-yard line after McPhee sacked Teddy Bridgewater.

But Bridgewater scrambled for 18 yards on the next play. The previous week against the Lions, the Bears led 31-24 with the Lions facing third-and-13 at their 17 with seven minutes to go. Matthew Stafford threw a 13-yard completion to Golden Tate for the first down.

“We have to find a better way to close out games and finish games with an attitude,” safety Antrel Rolle said. “That’s where we’re losing our edge.”

Attitude, though, is a tough thing to develop when you’re los-

“We had one of our best weeks of practice,” linebacker Christian Jones said. “We’ve been doing a

lot of good things right. We just have to carry that over on Monday night.”

NFL ROUNDUP

Newton’s 4 TDs lead unbeaten Panthers past Packers The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Cam Newton threw three touchdown passes and ran for another score Sunday, and the Carolina Panthers took an important step toward securing home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs with a 37-29 win over the Green Bay Packers.

Newton completed 15 of 30 passes for 297 yards and ran for 57 yards on nine carries in one of the better games of his five-year NFL career.

The Panthers (8-0) extended their regular-season win streak to 12 and put themselves in terrific shape in the NFC standings, where every other team has at least two losses.

Aaron Rodgers threw for 369 yards and four touchdowns and led a furious fourth-quarter comeback from 23 points down, but couldn’t complete it.

Linebacker Thomas Davis intercepted Rodgers on a fourthand-goal pass at the Carolina 3 with 1:54 left.

The Packers (6-2) have lost back-to-back games after starting 6-0.

Steelers 38, Raiders 35: At Pittsburgh, Chris Boswell hit an 18-yard field goal with 2 seconds left to lift the Steelers after Ben Roethlisberger left with a potentially serious left foot injury.

The Steelers (5-4) survived after Roethlisberger exited midway through the fourth quarter after getting sacked

by Aldon Smith. Replacement Landry Jones found Antonio Brown for a 57-yard reception on Pittsburgh’s final drive to set up Boswell’s winning kick.

Brown finished with 17 catches for 284 yards, both franchise records. DeAngelo Williams ran for 170 yards and two scores as the Steelers rolled up 597 yards of total offense.

Derek Carr threw for 301 yards with four touchdowns and an interception for the Raiders (4-4). Carr found Michael Crabtree for a 38-yard score to tie it with 1:15 to go, more than enough time for the Steelers to get Boswell in range for a chip shot even without their franchise quarterback.

Oakland running back Latavius Murray ran for 96 yards but left in the third quarter with a potential concussion.

Roethlisberger passed for 334 yards with two touchdowns and a pick as he moved past Hall of Famers Johnny

Unitas and Joe Montana and into 13th on the NFL list for career yards passing. When he’ll get to add to that total is uncertain after he was taken from Heinz Field for further evaluation after Smith fell on his left foot.

Colts 27, Broncos 24: At Indianapolis, Andrew Luck threw two touchdown passes and Adam Vinatieri made a tie-breaking 55-yard field goal with 6:13 to play. The Colts (45) ended a three-game losing streak and stayed atop the AFC South by ruining Peyton Manning’s return to Indy again. It was their first win outside the division.

Denver (7-1) was the only unbeaten team to lose this weekend.

Luck was brilliant, going 21 of 36 for 252 yards. He broke a 17-17 tie with a TD pass early in the fourth quarter, then helped snap a 24-24 tie by setting up Vinatieri for the field goal on the next drive. Indy ran out the final 5:57.

Manning was 21 of 36 for 281 yards with two TDs and two interceptions. He couldn’t break Brett Favre’s record for regular-season wins (186) by a quarterback and fell 3 yards short of becoming the NFL’s career passing leader.

Patriots 27, Redskins 10:

At Foxborough, Mass., Julian Edelman and LeGarrette Blount scored touchdowns before the Redskins ran their second play.

Tom Brady completed 26 of 39 passes for 299 yards and two touchdowns, including an 8-yarder to Edelman on the opening drive. New England (8-0) then pulled off a surprise onside kick, but that drive stalled when Edelman fumbled.

Washington could manage only a single play: Kirk Cousins’ pass that bounced off Pierre Garcon and was intercepted by Logan Ryan. New England then marched downfield to make it 14-0 on Blount’s 5-yard score.

Washington (3-5) managed 15 total yards in the first quarter, and the Patriots continued to pull away. New England has scored in 31 straight quarters – every one this season except the first quarter of the first game.

Blount carried 29 times for 129 yards for New England, which won easily even though Brady threw his second interception of the season. The Patriots also lost a fumble at

year and San Francisco’s stout defense flustered Matt Ryan despite the patchwork use of backups because of a rash of injuries.

Gabbert threw an interception midway through the fourth quarter, giving Atlanta (6-3) another chance with 7:14 to go. After an incompletion, Ryan hit six straight throws, but eventually missed Julio Jones in the end zone and Atlanta kicked a field goal and fell just short.

Jets 28, Jaguars 23: At East Rutherford, N.J., Ryan Fitzpatrick threw two touchdown passes while playing with a torn ligament in his left thumb, Chris Ivory ran for two scores and the Jets took advantage of late mistakes by the Jaguars.

Husband’s long tresses are stressing out his wife Dear Abby: My husband, who has a beautiful head of dark curly hair, decided to let it grow. It is now about halfway down his back. Sometimes he braids it or pulls it into a ponytail. Other times he wears it down and it falls loose. The problem is, I can’t bear to look at him.

He has always been cleancut and had short hair. But as time has gone on and many of his friends have begun losing their hair, he says he wants to grow his out while he can.

I know that in the grand scheme of life, hair shouldn’t be an issue, but I can’t seem to get past this. I think it’s because of the way he used to look. I can’t talk to him about it because he really likes his

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips hair.

This feels like MY problem, but how can I deal with it? –

Too Much Of A Good Thing Dear Too Much: If you can’t

look at your spouse because his flowing tresses are a turnoff, this must be affecting many aspects of your marriage.

Although he likes his hair long, if you address it in those terms he may be willing to listen. However, just as women should be free to wear their hair the way they want, the same should apply to males.

P.S. I’m surprised his friends want to hang around with a walking reminder that they are follicly challenged.

Dear Abby: My wife and I went to a Mexican resort with five other couples for a seven-day vacation. On the second day, one of the wives, “Sandra,” received the news that her sister “Kate” had died unexpectedly. The funeral would not be held until two days after we returned.

Sandra’s husband was furious at the family member for calling.

What did they expect her to do, hop a plane? We were all affected by Sandra’s loss. The first two days all five couples were having a ball. After that call it was like someone popped

the balloon – it was never the same for any of us.

Some of us feel they could have waited until the last day before calling, although I personally think they should have waited until she got home.

Sandra and Kate were completely dissimilar and not close. Even Sandra said, “Well, at least I had two good days of vacation.” Should the family have waited? – Disgusted in

Wisconsin Dear Disgusted: It depends,

I think, upon the dynamics in the sisters’ family and to what degree Kate’s death was a shock to everyone.

When death happens out of the blue, people sometimes react emotionally rather than rationally, which may be why

the relative called immediately.

I agree with the friends who said the sad news could have been conveyed on the last day of the trip. Had Sandra been told immediately upon her return home, she might have been grateful.

On the other hand, she also might have been furious, saying, “How could you keep this from me!?” That said, in my opinion it would have been kinder to let Sandra and her husband enjoy their holiday, since it was already too late to rush to the sister’s bedside.

Benefits of hip surgery outweigh possible complications Note to readers: This column is an update of one that originally appeared in July 2012.

Dear Dr. K: My doctor says I need hip replacement surgery.

She says it will help my pain. But I’m worried about complications.

Should I be?

Dear Reader: I get a lot of questions about hip replacement surgery, and I’m in a good position to answer them: I had a hip replacement about a decade ago.

Before I give a more detailed answer, let me cut to the chase: The benefits of hip replacement surgery greatly outweigh the risks.

First, the basics.

Your hip is a ball in a socket

ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff joint: The big bone in the top part of your leg has a top that’s shaped like a ball, and your pelvic bone has a cup into which the ball fits.

Hip replacement surgery involves replacing the bony ball and socket with an artificial device made of metal or ceramic.

As with every type of surgery, there can be complications. Fortunately, they are very unusual.

So what can go wrong?

• BLOOD CLOTS. These can form in the veins of the legs, shake loose, and travel to your

lungs. This can be a serious complication. However, various treatments have greatly reduced this risk.

• INFECTION. Your implant can become infected. If you feel new pain in the implanted hip, particularly if you also feel sick and have a fever, seek immediate treatment.

• DISLOCATION. In the weeks after your hip replacement, take great care to keep from dislocating your implant before the surrounding tissues have healed enough to hold it in place. To reduce dislocation risk, do not bend over farther than your waist for about six weeks after your surgery. Also avoid turning your recuperating leg in or out. Even afterward, there is a chance of a

painful dislocation.

• LEG-LENGTH DISCREPANCY. After surgery, your legs may become slightly unequal in length. If so, a lift in the shoe of the shorter leg can fix the problem.

• LOOSENING. A replacement joint can loosen because the cement never secured it properly or eventually wore out. This may also happen if the surrounding bone does not grow into the implant to create a tight attachment.

• BONE LOSS. As a joint implant suffers wear and tear, loose particles can be released into the joint. As your immune system attacks these particles, it can also attack surrounding bone and weaken it. This may loosen the bone’s connection to

the implant.

I’m not minimizing any of the possible complications of hip surgery.

But the point is that they are very infrequent. Look for a surgeon who performs lots of hip replacements and has a fine reputation.

With such a surgeon, the likelihood of any complication is even less. I had no complications.

In fact, looking back on it, my only regret about having hip replacement surgery is that I waited so long to have it done!

• Write to Dr. Komaroff at askdoctork.com, or Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

Despite being shy, you don’t have to be without friends Dr. Wallace: I’m 14 and I’m extremely shy. I feel lonely because I’m not popular and I really only have one friend, if you can call her a friend. It seems like she only talks to me when no one else is around for her to talk to. She sort of implies that I’m a loser, because she is always bragging about how great her other friends are and how they have such great times together. She has never invited me to join her and her other friends, and ignores me when they are around.

I sometimes think I’d be better off having no friends than trying to be hers. I’m thinking about telling her off. What should I do? – Nameless, Norfolk, Va.

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace Nameless: This girl is not a friend, and you’re definitely better off without her in your life, always putting you down. However, that doesn’t mean you have to be friendless.

Instead, you need to get involved with school activities and get acquainted with other students. Your school has a wide range of extracurricular activities available.

There are clubs for special interests, such as music and science, intramural athletics, dances, football and basketball games, student

government, the school newspaper and the yearbook.

You have the opportunity to explore your own interests and give your talents a chance to bloom. You will meet students who will have similar interests and will become new friends. You’ll be so busy that you won’t give another thought to your former friend’s negativity.

Dr. Wallace: I’m going to be married soon and everything is perfect except for one small thing – what to feed my future husband?

I have been taught how to make “normal” meals, but he is a health nut and says he only eats “organic, natural or health” foods. I’m not quite sure I know what this all means and although I’ve

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Not all roads lead to victory.

You will have opportunities, but will also face opposition. Don’t believe everything you hear. Be cautious while traveling and careful when sharing information.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Don’t let unpredictable people cause you to be uncertain. Do your own thing and be ready to take on more if that’s what’s required to get things done.

Choose what works best for you.

I don’t mind feeding him his “rabbit food,” but if you can tell me I’d be happy to bake you a loaf of “wheat germ bread” or a soybean “meatloaf.” – Vikki, Jackson,

Miss.

Vikki: Thanks for the offer, but I would really prefer 12-grain wheat bread and baked red salmon.

However, to answer your question, “organic” means that the food has been grown without pesticides or artificial fertilizers, and has not been treated with hormones or preservatives.

“Natural” foods contain no preservatives or artificial

ingredients.

“Health” foods are dietetic or vegetarian products, which may or may not be free from chemical additions.

“Organic” foods are abundant in most grocery stores, and while they are more expensive, they are worth the extra expense. There are also specialty stores that sell only organic, natural or healthy foods. You should take a stroll through a grocery store and a specialty store before you marry, so that you will be able to ask the clerks questions and perhaps obtain brochures or a cookbook that will help you.

CROSSWORD

ADVICE & PUZZLES 5 BRIDGE Phillip Alder

It is so easy to be reckless Luc de Clapiers, an 18th-century French essayist, said, “The most absurd and reckless aspirations have sometimes led to extraordinary success.”

That is true. Even at the bridge table, a reckless line of play can work out well, when the cards are favorably distributed. However, in newspaper columns and classes, recklessness is costly.

In this deal, for example, how should South play in three notrump after West leads the heart jack to dummy’s queen?

North’s sequence showed game-forcing values, at least one four-card major and five-plus clubs. (Probably East did well not to overcall two spades. North would have doubled, and the contract could have been defeated by two tricks. But if North-South had still ended in three no-trump, a spade lead would have been lethal.

Also, East might have doubled three no-trump, which would have asked for an unusual lead.

Typically, West would have led his shorter major.)

South starts with five top tricks: two spades and three hearts. It looks easy to play on diamonds to get those four extra winners. But if the defender with the ace wins the second round of the suit and switches to spades, declarer probably won’t see his hand again until it is too late.

Instead, South should lead a club at trick two. Suppose East wins and shifts to the spade queen.

Now declarer must win in the dummy and lead a diamond – not a reckless club. If East takes this trick, South gets two spades, three hearts and four diamonds. If East ducks, South wins in his hand, cashes the heart ace, then leads his club queen to take two spades, two hearts, one diamond and four clubs.
