Bill Nicklas resigning from NIU Vice president leaving Nov. 1 to spend time with family

By KATIE DAHLSTROM kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Top Northern Illinois University administrator Bill Nicklas had been considering resigning from the university for several weeks before making it official Monday.

Nicklas, most recently NIU’s vice president of operations and community relations, resigned effective Nov. 1. Nicklas said he isn’t leaving for another position, but will take

some time to evaluate where work will fit into his life going forward.

“I had mixed feelings about this, but it finally came down to: my family and friends have been wondering when I can be a grandpa again,” Nicklas said.

Bill Nicklas NIU President Doug Baker named Nicklas, 66, the vice president of operations and community relations in March. Be-

fore then, Nicklas worked as the vice president for public safety and community relations. He is responsible for facilities, human resources, public safety and community relations and serves as a liaison to the board of trustees, earning $200,000 annually.

In a prepared statement, Baker wished Nicklas well and complimented him for the many contributions he made in a relatively short time of “great transition at NIU.” “[Nicklas] is a collaborator who

worked across our complex organization and in the community to promote an environment conducive to student career success,” Baker said in the statement.

Nicklas started working at NIU in 2011 when former NIU President John Peters named Nicklas the university’s first associate vice president for institutional planning and sustainability. He came to NIU after 13 years as Sycamore city manager

Dairy Joy owners Wyn and Jan Wahlgren stop to wave to a car after it honked at them Friday in front of their restaurant on Lincoln Highway in Hinkley. The couple have been married for 44 years and have owned the popular Hinkley burger joint for 23 years. Jan was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer in May and is currently undergoing chemotherapy while continuing to work at Dairy Joy.

Messages from customers taped to coolers at Hinckley drive-in

By ANDREA AZZO aazzo@shawmedia.com HINCKLEY – Dairy Joy DriveIn co-owner Jan Wahlgren was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer in May, but she still bikes three blocks to get to work every day.

Wahlgren’s cancer has spread to her lymph nodes, liver and spine. However, as the co-owner of the Hinckley seasonal drive-in at 436 E. Lincoln Ave., she tries to come to work seven days a week to serve customers and do prep work.

She taped letters of encouragement from two young customers to the cooler at the drive-in, and has more than a hundred cards wishing her well at her home.

“It makes you feel good.

Somebody’s behind you,” Wahlgren said as she held back tears.

“They’re all praying for you. It really helps.”

The community support is among the reasons Wahlgren keeps coming to work, even

medication for high blood pressure, so her doctor switched her prescription and performed an X-ray and CT scan. Three weeks later, the CT showed a mass on her lungs.

“Being diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer was a big slap in the face of someone who never smoked,” said Wyn Wahlgren, Jan’s husband.

According to the American Lung Association, smoking is a main cause of small cell and nonsmall cell lung cancer and contributes to 80 percent and 90 percent of lung cancer deaths in women and men, respectively. Women who smoke are 13 times more likely to develop lung cancer compared to people who have never smoked, Dairy Joy co-owner Jan Wahlgren shows some of the notes she has received the association states. from young customers Jasmine and Chance at her restaurant Friday on Lincoln Stage 4 is the most advanced Highway in Hinkley. stage of lung cancer.

FERGUSON, Mo. – An unarmed 18-year-old whose fatal shooting by police has sparked a week of protests in suburban St. Louis suffered a bullet wound to his right arm that may indicate his hands were up or his back was turned, a pathologist hired by his family said Monday.

But the pathologist said the team that examined Michael Brown can’t be sure yet exactly how the wounds were inflicted, citing the need for more information.

An independent autopsy determined that Michael Brown was shot at least six times, including twice in the head, the family’s lawyers and hired pathologists said.

Witnesses have said Brown’s hands were above his head when he was repeatedly shot by an officer Aug. 9 in Ferguson.

In Washington, President Barack Obama said the vast majority of protesters in Ferguson were peaceful, but warned that a small minority was undermining justice.

During a brief pause in his summer vacation, Obama said overcoming the mistrust endemic between many communities and their local police would require Americans to “listen and not just shout.”

The president also weighed in for the first time publicly on the militarization of some local police departments, saying it would probably be useful to examine how federal grant dollars had been used to allow local police to purchase military-style equipment.

Attorney General Eric Holder was scheduled to travel to Ferguson later this week to meet with FBI and other officials carrying out an independent federal investigation into Brown’s death.

Obama said he told Holder he wanted to ensure Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon’s use of the National Guard was limited in scope.

Forensic pathologist Shawn Parcells, who assisted former New York City chief medical examiner Dr. Michael Baden during the private autopsy, said a bullet grazed Brown’s

Enjoying the good life in the country The traditional American hymn to life in the wilds of the West talks about a home “where seldom is heard, a discouraging word, and the skies are not cloudy all day.”

It’s the kind of life that many city folks dream about, but never get to experience.

Lisa Bergeron had that dream, and five years ago she found just the place, 12 miles west of DeKalb on Rich Road, plus a couple more miles on gravel roads.

It isn’t quite the edge of the world, but if you consider Ogle County not far from it, she is pretty close to the county line.

Her job takes her back to Sycamore Road in the former Monsanto building, where she works as a grant writer for Northern Illinois University. But once she gets home to her small acreage and large yellow farmhouse, you’d never know she has two master’s degrees and is also an adjunct professor.

Bergeron reminds me of a 21st century Annie Glidden, another “pioneer woman” who was highly educated, could mix with people from all walks of life, but loved her farm and life in the

DeKALB COUNTY LIFE Barry Schrader country.

Lisa comes by it naturally, as her grandparents farmed south of DeKalb.

She still has her grandmother’s large fountain running in her spacious, but well landscaped, back yard.

Living somewhat distant from her friends, she still finds them willing to make the trek out there to enjoy a summer bonfire, do some target shooting or archery practice, and even volunteering to mow her acres of lawn with a riding mower. Sort of reminds me the way Tom Sawyer got his buddies to whitewash the fence for him by telling them how much fun it could be.

She does not find the rural life lonely, surrounded by three big dogs, friendly neighbors, one of whom is a second cousin who farms the land around her farmette, and lots of wildlife. She can hear the coyotes howl at night, and sees lots of deer, foxes, rabbits, ground squirrels, and the dreaded

badgers. She decided to buy a shotgun to keep the badgers from getting into a scrap with her dogs, since the dogs would lose that battle.

A self-taught “handyperson,” she relishes tackling large renovation projects, like the rundown farmhouse she purchased. Carpentry and other interior redecorating are just enjoyable hobbies to her.

Asked what is most different from living in town, she mentioned having a 183-foot deep well, septic system, generator for those inevitable power outages, and two liquid petroleum fireplaces to keep her warm when the electricity is off. Then there are those four-foot snow drifts that pile up at the end of the lane.

But it’s all a labor of love. Bergeron’s plan is for this also to be her retirement home in 20 years, and maybe by then she will have the house all finished the way she wants it.

Way out there “where the deer and the antelope play.”

McCullough appeal still not heard by judges

By ANDREA AZZO ELGIN – It could take months before a panel of judges decide whether they want to hear why convicted murderer Jack McCullough wants to appeal his sentence.

McCullough filed an appeal in April with the Illinois Second District Appellate Court in Elgin, disputing his involvement with the 1957 murder of 7-year-old Maria Ridulph, of Sycamore.

McCullough was convicted in 2012 and received a life sentence in connection with Ridulph’s kidnapping, abduction and murder, making the 55-year-old

cold case the oldest to be solved in U.S. history.

McCullough states in his appeal that the evidence at trial was insufficient to prove a guilty verdict, that Kane County Judge James Hallock erred in refusing to allow defense evidence that would have proved an alibi, that some of the prosecution’s evidence shouldn’t have Jack McCullough been admitted, and that the convictions for kidnapping and abduction charges violate the one-act, one-crime rule.

Prosecutors filed a response to Mc-

Cullough’s appeal Aug. 1, arguing “a criminal conviction will not be set aside unless the evidence was so improbable or unsatisfactory that there exists a reasonable doubt of the defendant’s guilt.”

This doesn’t apply in McCullough’s case, prosecutors said.

At this point, a three-judge panel has yet to be assigned to the case, which could take a month, said Second District Appellate Court Deputy Clerk Mary Cariello.

Once the case is assigned, the judges review the evidence, then decide whether to hear an oral argument, which could take until the beginning of November, Cariello said.

Dairy Joy employees have rallied around boss • MESSAGES Continued from page A1 Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Zion every three weeks to receive chemo.

While hospitalized in June, receiving oxygen and restricted to a wheelchair, Wahlgren received a letter from 8-yearold Chance Wackerlin. Chance is a regular customer at Dairy Joy who tastetests the products each March before the restaurant opens for business.

In part, his letter read: “I hope you feel better soon so you can get back to [Dairy] Joy because there’s not much joy without you.”

Chance understands first-hand what Wahlgren is going through. He has interstitial lung disease and is required to receive oxygen round-the-clock. He said he is one of Wahlgren’s favorite customers.

“I was worried about her, and I wanted to make sure she knew I still cared for her,” Chance said. “[Her cancer diagnosis] made me feel sad, but I knew we’re still going to be friends no matter what.”

Dairy Joy employees also have rallied around their boss. Dairy Joy manager and 13-year employee Jenna Eberly said she spends more time with Jan Wahlgren than with her own family.

“Customers realize [Jan and Wyn Wahlgren] are not here. They’re asking if everything’s OK,” Eberly said. “She’s

“I know I’ve been a change agent and that involved some legal processes,” Nicklas said.

“I’ve been feeling a loss in the last couple years, and it’s really weighing on

Nicklas said he’s grateful for the opportunities Baker gave him, which he will miss. Through Nov. 1, he will shepherd several projects, such as the demolition of Douglas Hall, the launch of the Huskie Pup electric tram line and adding some soft lighting to the campus core.

Center to build eagle enclosure

Chicago man accused of selling cocaine near NIU SYCAMORE – A 27-year-old Chicago man appeared in court Monday on allegations he sold less than a gram of cocaine near Northern Illinois University in November.

Devante L. Robinson, of the 7300 block of South Troy Street, was charged with unlawful delivery of a controlled substance within 1,000 feet of a school, unlawful delivery of a con- Devante L. trolled substance Robinson and possession of a controlled substance.

He is accused of selling less than a gram of cocaine Nov. 16 to a confidential police source, authorities said. A warrant for his arrest was issued Aug. 6.

If convicted of the most serious charge, Robinson could face between four and 15 years in prison. Bond was set at $150,000. He is next due in court Wednesday.

Oaken Acres: If anything happens, ‘they have a closer place to come for healing’

By JESSI HAISH jhaish@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – Caroline Krecic remembers calling Kathy Stelford years ago to find out how she should help a goose she accidentally hurt with her car.

Krecic, of Somonauk, remembers being impressed with Stelford’s care and attention to detail.

Now, she’s helping Stelford, who founded Oaken Acres Wildlife Center in Sycamore in 1984, extend that level of care to eagles by being a major donor for a specialized eagle cage.

“Since we are seeing [eagles] in DeKalb County, if anything happens to them, they have a closer place to come for healing,” Krecic said.

Christy Gebritz, Oaken Acres director of operations, said crews plan to start excavation for the large enclosure Sept. 1 so it can be ready before winter. She is gathering bids on material and labor, and making sure the site is prepared by clearing brush and trees.

Although more than $40,000 has been raised for the project – well above the original $30,000 goal – Oaken Acres leaders are always accepting donation for the nonprofit group and unforeseen expenses, said Stelford, who also serves as Oaken Acres’ president.

“We had to change the location for the cage, because there was too much slope in the ground,” Stelford said.

Christy Gebritz, director of operations at Oaken Acres Wildlife Rescue, reaches for a young Cooper’s hawk Monday in the bird enclosure built last year. The Sycamore wildlife rescue took in the hawk, which weighed less than a pound, Saturday night. Gebritz said they first need to build the new eagle enclosure to obtain permits to start rescuing and housing the larger birds of prey.

County area after nearly becoming extinct. About two years ago, an eagle found injured in Kirkland had to be sent to a center near Rockford because Oaken Acres had neither the required building or permit to house it, Stelford said.

They’ll apply for a permit after the eagle structure is finished.

“They’re a spectacular bird, they’re our national symbol,” Gebritz said. “We take pride that we can help these animals.”

“Tree removal expenses is something we weren’t counting on.”

Stelford said funds are needed for the interior of the building, as well. The building will still be used if no eagles are there because the massive structure can be partitioned into sections suitable for other animals. An eagle cage must be at least 100 feet long, 24 feet wide and 16 feet high, Stelford said.

Gebritz said it’s an important project, as eagles are making a comeback in the DeKalb

Shaddix faced harsher sentencing of between six and 30 years in prison because he previously was convicted of theft and manufacturing a controlled substance, Assistant State’s Attorney Phil Montgomery said.

Closer to the protest site, a crowd of demonstrators was marching and growing in size.

About the Pumpkin Festival

jhaish@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – Jerry Malmassari is looking forward to seeing children drop off their decorated pumpkins on the courthouse lawn in October, tilting and turning them in the grass until the pumpkins look perfect.

Malmassari, president of the Pumpkin Festival committee, hopes people are starting to think about their entries now, which will be displayed and judged during the festival, which runs Oct. 22 to 26.

“It’s getting to be that time again,” Malmassari said. “We want a humongous display of pumpkin designs to look at.”

This year’s 53rd annual festival hopefully will be the first year a lifesize statue of Wally “Mr. Pumpkin” Thurow will be on display, Malmassari said. The statue is being cast after committee members reached their $65,000 fundraising goal. Thurow, founder and face of the festival since 1962, died in 2012. The statue will feature Thurow in his top hat, riding his signature high-wheel bicycle.

Replicas of the statue have passed committee members’ inspections, making sure Mr. Pumpkin’s smile and coat are just right.

“There are certain characteristics that you see in an individual that you want to

Paw Lickin’ fundraiser helps pets in need If you go

By ANDREA AZZO aazzo@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – Paw Lickin’ Good co-owner Carol Dean hopes this Saturday’s fundraiser will be bigger and better than the one they held last year.

This year’s fundraiser will benefit TAILS Humane Society, 2250 Barber Greene Road, DeKalb; Ravens Husky Haven and Rescue, 27779 E. Five Points Road, Sycamore, and Chicagoland Lab Rescue in Oak Brook.

The event will be from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday at 2684 DeKalb Ave. in Sycamore in conjunction with Paw Lickin Good’s eighth anniversary. It will include a raffle, about 10 vendors and various contests.

“We really believe in promoting adoptions as opposed to buying dogs and cats,” Dean said. “We consider it a service to the community.

It’s what we’re all about. We want to give back to the community.”

The rescue organizations will use the money to care for animals, helping provide medical care, food and housing, Dean said.

versary fundraiser

Emma, a 9-year-old labradoodle belonging to Paw Lickin’ Good owners Carol Dean and Jody Meerdink, guards the puzzle fundraiser and the 25 raffle prizes while greeting customers Monday at the store in Sycamore. Paw Lickin’ Good will celebrate its eighth anniversary with a rescue fundraiser Saturday. There will be a party in the parking lot with prizes, vendors and adoptable dogs.

At TAILS, funds will go toward paying for special food that some animals need, said Executive Director Michelle Groeper. About 45 percent of TAILS’ $1 million total

budget comes from donations, Groeper said.

Groeper profiled three animals who receive special food for various reasons.

Sleepy’s to open on Sycamore Road

By KATIE DAHLSTROM kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com DeKALB – National mattress chain Sleepy’s will open a store in the former DeKalb Blockbuster location on Sycamore Road.

The company plans to open the store in the DeKalb Market Square shopping center, 2350 Sycamore Road, by Labor Day weekend with a staff of at least three full-time employees.

“DeKalb is a great community,” said Sam Khan, the regional vice president for Sleepy’s Midwest division. “We believe it’s a super regional market.”

The store will be open seven days a week, from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Sunday.

Lee Wolfson, the executive vice president of Arthur Goldner and Associates, which owns DeKalb Market Square, said his company wanted to have a strong national brand such as Sleepy’s in the 7,000-square-foot space that is highly visible from Sycamore Road.

Blockbuster moved out of the space in February after closing last year when the company closed all of its 300 retail locations.

Wolfson said negotiations with Sleepy’s started before Blockbuster left.

Sleepy’s will enter an already occupied mattress market, becoming the third mattress retailer with a half-mile stretch on Sycamore Road. American Mattress opened in November at 2211 Sycamore

Road, a jaunt down the road from mattress retailer Back to Bed, 2395 Sycamore Road. Wolfson and Khan said they weren’t concerned with the number of mattress stores in such close proximity.

“We would like to consider DeKalb a regional mall,” Wolfson said. “It’s good to give the residents of DeKalb different options for their shopping.”

“We believe between our mattress professionals, selection and price, we’re a good option,” Khan added.

Sleepy’s has more than 800 showrooms and seven distribution centers.

Company officials announced last year the company would expand to the Chicagoland market. The DeKalb store will be the company’s 60th store in Illinois, Khan said.

What’s up duck? Genoa ready for race On Sept. 6, Genoa will be home to hundreds of ducks – plastic ducks that is.

The Genoa Area Chamber of Commerce will host its 11th annual Great Genoa Duck Race and Family Fun Event at Citizens Park from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Launch time is noon.

About 2,000 little plastic ducks are available for adoption, but the actual number waddling in will depend on ticket sales. Participants in the duck race purchase ducks that have numbers printed on the bottom that match their ticket. Ducks cost $5 for two or a flock of 12 for $25. Business owners are encouraged to purchase a VIP flock for $100 for 50 and give them away to customers or clients.

The lucky duck that comes in first will win $500. Second prize is $250 and third prize $100. The person whose duck comes in last will be compensated for their embarrassment of adopting the “laziest” duck with $50.

Any duck that gets caught behind some rock or logjam will get help from our flock of human “duck-herders” who will be posted along the Kishwaukee River.

You will want to come out early. This year we have tons of fun things happening.

There will be a jump house, face painting, caricatures, bag

CHAMBER VIEW Cortney Strohacker games, water balloon toss and music from our favorite DJ Jamie Frye. Our own Cogsley the Duck Mascot will be on hand to meet his young fans. This year we even added sponsorship opportunities. Thank you to our Golden Duck Sponsor, KishHealth System; Waddler Sponsor, Alan Browne Chevro-

let; Paddler Sponsors, Northern Rehab, Heartland Bank and Genoa Smiles. More sponsorship opportunities are available.

Everyone is welcome to attend the launch and cheer your duck to victory. You won’t want to miss this fun family event.

Tickets for the Great Genoa Duck Race can be purchased through the Genoa Area Chamber of Commerce office by calling 815-784-2212 or emailing info@genoaareachamber.com.

Tickets also are available at these participating chamber businesses: Genoa VFW, Café 72, Resource Bank, NB&T, Piggly Wiggly, 3 Roses Realty, Ace Hardware and Five Points Pub. (Look for the giant duck sign throughout the community.)

Call today, it’s sure to be a quacking good time! You could be a lucky duck!

worse by an inconsistent diet or allergies, Groeper said.

Domestic shorthair mix Milly is on prescription food to prevent urinary crystals, which can be common in cats, Groeper said. Another domestic shorthair mix, Boo Boo, is on Primal raw cat food TAILS buys from Paw Lickin’ Good to treat feline irritable bowel

syndrome, she said.

“Coming into an animal shelter can be stressful for animals, especially cats,” Groeper said. “Sometimes they either may not eat as much because they’re stressed or have litter box issues. As such, they may be put on a special diet to get it under control.”

Some events Paw Lickin’ Good is holding for the fundraiser have already started.

Customers can send pictures of their dogs playing with toys to win a pencil sketch from an artist. Shoppers also can buy tickets for a chance to solve three different puzzles for prizes; the grand prize is 15 percent off purchases at Paw Lickin’ Good for six months.

“It’s going to be fun and profitable, hopefully, for homeless animals that need forever homes,” Dean said.

Hearing Help Express in DeKalb talks about how baby boomers redesigned aging SPONSORED BY

America’s baby boomers first came on the scene in 1946. They’ve been turning the world on its head ever since.

Known as the country’s greatest generation for leading change, baby boomers make up roughly 26 percent of the United States’ total population, about 78 million people. Over the years they’ve reinvented almost everything about the way America lives - from music, to cars, to technology, to the way we age.

The oldest baby boomers have already begun crossing the threshold into their golden years; as expected, they’re redesigning what’s on the other side.

More than any generation before them, baby boomers have adopted lifestyles that help them stay healthy and fit. An important way in which active baby boomers are keeping up their youthful pace is by taking care of their hearing.

This generation understands that in order to fully en-

joy the experiences of life, you need to stay connected to it.

So rather than deny hearing loss and suffer the negative social, cognitive and professional consequences that inevitably result from leaving it unaddressed, baby boomers are increasingly dealing with hearing loss head on.

Boomers in their 40s, 50s and 60s are getting their hearing tested. And they’re benefitting from the technological revolution taking place in the hearing aid marketplace. Simply put, the generation has caught onto the fact that today’s state-of-the-art hearing aids are highly effective, sleek and sophisticated wearable electronics that can help them stay actively connected to life, not to mention to all their other prized electronics.

America’s baby boomers have been shaking the place up for decades. It’s no wonder, that they’re now redesigning the golden years. For more information on hearing loss, visit the Better Hearing Institute at www.betterhearing.org.

was developed. Blending the names of these two areas, we now call it the Ellwood Historic Neighborhood.

The neighborhood was affected by the growth of Northern during the 1950s and ’60s. As a friend recently said, DeKalb residents were “housing multiple students in garages.” In response to this housing shortage, the city allowed the development of rooming houses on and south of Augusta.

Today we see the indirect effect of such decisions: Significant deterioration of what should be a proud and vibrant historic district.

Luckily, more than 15 years ago, residents recognized this problem and actively worked for recognition of the historical importance of the area and a revitalization plan.

A major achievement of this effort was the creation of the Ellwood Historic District in 1997.

Since then, more than one revital-

ization plan has been passed by the City Council.

Areas of emphasis have been many, but a few common goals stand out: restoration of historic homes, reduced population density, and increased owner occupancy. In a recent Letter to the Editor, the group that has been working on these goals was referred to as the Ellwood Neighborhood Association.

Today, leaders of DeKalb and NIU find themselves on a ship in the middle of the ocean. Recent stormy events have highlighted that the apparent honeymoon is over … and we are glad that all are still on board. The opportunity current flows in our direction.

Mayor John Rey and NIU President Douglas Baker: A course has been charted; let us steer in that direction together. The Ellwood Neighborhood Association is ready to renew the conversation.

Hillary Clinton not campaigning much for Dems Just about everyone noticed Hillary Clinton’s scathing comments on President Barack Obama’s foreign policy in her interview with The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg.

But almost no one has noticed where Clinton hasn’t been seen. That’s on the campaign trail or at fundraisers for Democrats running for the Senate.

Obama hasn’t campaigned much either, for the reason that he has low approval ratings in the seven states carried by 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney where Democrats are defending Senate seats.

But at least Obama’s been raising money. Up in Martha’s Vineyard, seemingly the heartland of today’s Democratic Party, he spoke, between golf games, at his 400th political fundraiser.

Clinton here is following the opposite course of a politician she has been compared to frequently, although usually not by her admirers: Richard Nixon.

As Patrick Buchanan shows in his recent and characteristically vividly written book, “The Greatest Comeback: How Richard Nixon Rose From Defeat to Create the New Majority,” Nixon campaigned tirelessly for Republican candidates in the 1966 midterm elections.

That election produced big Republican gains, including 47 House seats (contrary to the obituaries written for the party after Barry Goldwater’s 1964 defeat), and helped elect Nixon president in 1968.

So why isn’t Clinton following Nixon’s example? For reasons as clear-eyed as her

VIEWS Michael Barone take-downs of Obama. First, she is in a stronger position to win her party’s nomination today than Nixon was 48 years ago.

Second, she, unlike Nixon in 1966 and like most sober-minded observers this year, doesn’t see this as a good year for her party.

A year ago, Democrats hoped to hold onto their Senate majority by stressing local issues, accusing Republicans of waging a “war on women” and capitalizing on the defects and mistakes of Republican candidates.

But in a sluggish economy, with one Obamacare miscue after another and a world in violent disarray, promises of free contraception don’t seem to be moving many voters, and some local issues are working more against Democrats than for them.

That’s apparent in Colorado, a state that twice voted for Obama and where polls now show a tie between Sen. Mark Udall and Republican Rep. Cory Gardner.

Democrats hoped for a weaker Republican nominee, but Gardner entered late, and other Republicans stepped aside.

There’s also a backlash in Colorado against severe gun restrictions passed by the Democratic legislature and ineptly defended by Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper. And Democrats are split on

fracking. Early this month, Hickenlooper and Udall pressured Rep. Jared Polis to drop support for two anti-fracking ballot initiatives, fearing they will be political poison in an energy-producing state.

In a TV spot, Gardner says his family’s health insurance was canceled. That may remind voters that Udall’s staff was accused of pressuring the state insurance director to suppress reports that 250,000 Coloradans had policies canceled because of Obamacare.

In Iowa, another state that went for Obama twice, Democrats hoped Rep. Bruce Braley would easily replace 30-year Democratic incumbent Tom Harkin. But state Sen. Joni Ernst, who grew up on a farm and became a lieutenant colonel in the National Guard, easily won the Republican nomination, and Braley has made one blunder after another.

Will Clinton stump in Colorado, a state held up as an example of Democratic gains, or Iowa, a state not usually avoided by presidential candidates? That might force her to weigh in on Obamacare, illegal border crossings and fracking.

In 1966, Nixon’s campaigning helped Republicans gain five Senate and those 47 House seats. Clinton is apparently afraid she can’t match that record.

We appreciate the contributions that DeKalb Taylor Municipal Airport makes to the community. We’d just rather it not contribute another layer of government to our property tax bills.

The idea behind creating an independent regional airport authority is that the greater region benefits from having the airport on Peace Road, but the city of DeKalb is the only one supporting it financially.

The Illinois Department of Transportation in 2012 estimated that the airport generated $10.7 million in economic activity and created more than 80 jobs in the area. The airport also hosts about 30,000 flights a year and has 30 hangars.

It even served as an alternate host site for Corn Fest for five years, and still allows public attractions including vintage aircraft to land there.

For the record Airport Manager Tom Cleveland also is working Our region might need an to have the airport certified airport, but it doesn’t need for use by charter flights of more government and highmore than 30 passengers, which could allow Northern er taxes to support one.

Illinois University athletic teams to use the airport rather than traveling to Rockford to fly to road games, and in turn generating more revenue for the airport.

Although it’s true that other governments such as the city of Sycamore and Northern Illinois University benefit from having the airport nearby, there are other ways to raise more funds than creating another layer of government and increasing property taxes.

More government is one thing we don’t need. Illinois already is far and away the leader in the number of local governments with more than 6,000. Accountability to the public already is too diffuse, and our property taxes already are too high.

An airport authority could be created only through a popular vote or by state legislators, a scenario that seems unlikely. If it were to happen, no doubt there would be a separate board, which would hold occasional public meetings that few if anyone ever attended.

Voters would probably elect the commissioners, but most would have little idea about the people for whom they were voting. Board decisions could be made virtually in a vacuum, and by taking just a little bit of money from many property owners, a large sum could be amassed for spending.

There already are far too many small government bodies operating under the radar in this way, and we need fewer of them, not more.

DeKalb Taylor has struggled to make money in recent years, but it not unique in this regard. About 69 percent of airports worldwide lose money, according to a 2013 report from Airports Council International.

Recommendations from the Federal Aviation Administration for increasing revenue include things like alternative uses for airport property – like solar panels or even a blueberry farm – as well as offering more services or attracting new users.

That’s easy to say and more challenging to do, and it appears the airport is working to increase its customers. Perhaps if there is a simple way to demonstrate the economic benefit that individual communities other than DeKalb derive from the airport, city officials could persuade more local governments to chip in to help.

Our region might need an airport, but it doesn’t need more government and higher taxes to support one.

Democrat? Republican?

There’s an app for that If you’re a Republican, you might want to think twice before buying Lipton Iced Tea, and forget about Starbucks coffee. If you’re a Democrat, put down that Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup, and throw away the cylinder of Quaker Oats in your pantry.

These are the sorts of conclusions that BuyPartisan – a new smartphone app that The Post’s In the Loop featured last week – encourages you to make.

After you scan the bar code on products with a phone camera, BuyPartisan accesses campaign finance data and offers a breakdown of the manufacturer’s political giving – examining contributions from its board of directors, its chief executive, its employees and its associated political action committees.

Matthew Colbert, founder of app developer Spend Consciously, told us that the idea is to “empower individuals so that they can make every day like Election Day in how they spend their money.” Because if there is something the country needs, apparently, it’s more decisions made based on blind partisan allegiance.

BuyPartisan would take the nation’s ideological sorting to a new level. It’s not just that Americans refuse to marry, socialize and live near people who disagree with their partisan affiliation. If the app succeeds, it would be a sign that Democrats and Republicans aren’t even willing to do business with one another any longer.

We can think of a few things this kind of app could usefully do, like help consumers sort out companies with sketchy records on human rights. But we hope BuyPartisan fails.

OAK CREST DeKalb Area Retirement Center www.oakcrestdekalb.org

“Opportunity is knocking…”

I’ll be honest with you I have always been a planner and my best decisions have always been after careful consideration and a great deal of thought. So, when it came time to think about retirement I used this same approach. I knew all about Margie M Oak Crest and even had some experience when seventeen years ago my husband Bill spent his last days in the capable oulton and caring hands of the Oak Crest nursing staff. I was so impressed that I knew then and there that when the time came I would make my own home at Oak Crest. So, I had the easy part done. I knew where I wanted to be, I just had to decide the when. Keep in mind that in my planning the big move was still a couple of years in the distance. Well, as fate would have it I decided to take some time when my children were home to stop in for a visit. Call it fate or divine intervention but on that day the perfect apartment, in the best location with the loveliest view had just become available. It was at that moment I just knew that opportunity was knocking and I didn’t want to miss out. My advice to you is that if you already know the where; then the when could be right now! There really is no better time than today to see all that Oak Crest has to offer.

Philly’s Davis, Chicago team talk of LLWS SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – An black female pitcher from Philadelphia and a team from Chicago have created a buzz at the Little League World Series.

Philly’s Mo’ne Davis and the Jackie Robinson West squad are the talk of the series; professional athletes and politicians alike are following their every move. They’ve Skyped with the Los Angeles Dodgers, had shout-outs from NBA star Kevin Durant on Twitter and the Pennsylvania governor Friday was in South Williamsport.

Davis, one of two girls in this year’s tournament, is the unquestioned fan favorite. The crowd cheers her every pitch and at-bat. Canada’s Emma March also felt the support before her team was eliminated Saturday.

The all-black Chicago squad shows there still is interest in the game in urban communities, even though blacks accounted for only about 8 percent of major league teams’ Opening Day rosters this year.

Paul Graziano, an LLWS press box announcer since 1980, never has seen this level of excitement so early in the tournament.

“We always got good crowds on championship weekends, but I’ve seen more growth and more people coming now for early games,” Graziano said. “You’ve got two girls and a team from the inner city ... I think it will just bolster” Little League, which is celebrating its 75th anniversary.

Davis (1-0) could return to the mound Wednesday when Philadelphia takes on Las Vegas.

The same can be said for fellow tackle Tyler Loos, not to mention junior center Andrew Ness and junior guard Aidan Conlon. All have a boatload of experience for NIU, having started the past two years.

The group that was a big question mark heading into the Orange Bowl season of 2012 has matured greatly, and will be counted on heavily to protect whichever quarterback wins the starting gig.

Conlon and Ness each have 28 starts under their belts. Brown has 27 and Loos has 19.

Bears running back and former Northern Illinois University quarterback Jordan Lynch warms up before the Thursday night’s preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars at Soldier Field.

Putting up a fight Considered a longshot, Lynch not giving up hope to make team

By JEFF ARNOLD jarnold@chicagofootball.com CHICAGO – At this point of his NFL career, Jordan Lynch realizes he can’t control when – or even if – his chance will come.

The former Northern Illinois quarterback and Heisman Trophy finalist remains buried on the depth chart at running back midway through his first preseason with the Bears. Although he’s a fan favorite, Lynch is widely Next considered to be a longshot to make the final 53at Seattle, 9 p.m. Friday, man roster and is more FOX, AM-780, likely bound for a practice squad spot.

105.9-FM But nothing suggesting what Lynch’s future could look like has been finalized with two preseason games yet to be played. And so, like he has for much of his life, Lynch will continue to compete, doing whatever he can to prove that he can stick.

More online Visit ChicagoFootball.com for the latest Bears and NFL news.

In the Bears’ first preseason game against Philadelphia, Lynch got an opportunity to showcase what he has learned since he transitioned to running back after going untouched in last spring’s NFL draft. Last week against Jacksonville, Lynch’s opportunities came on special teams, another position he hadn’t played until the Bears signed him as an undrafted free agent.

Despite seeing limited time against the Eagles and Jaguars, however, Lynch feels much more comfortable at both spots and is anxious to show just how far he has come since he went through

rookie camp this summer.

How that translates to the amount of time Lynch will see in the Bears’ final two exhibition games, starting Friday night against the Seahawks in Seattle, is yet to be seen. Although games against the Seahawks and Browns likely will give reserves a chance to lay claim to roster spots, Lynch has no control over how much time he will see on the field.

So rather than concern himself over such matters, Lynch will continue to fight.

“It’s kind of the way it’s been my whole life,” Lynch said after the Bears’ 20-19 win over the Jaguars last week at Soldier Field. “I’ll get my shot, I’ll get more opportunities.”

Lynch feels what he calls a “nightand-day” difference in his comfort level since he started organized team activity drills with the Bears. After reporting to rookie minicamp in May at 205 pounds, Lynch has dropped 15 pounds, putting himself in the best possible position to compete for a spot on the final roster.

The Mid-American Conference has agreed to a new 13-year contract with ESPN, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press. The agreement gives the network all TV distribution rights to the league’s football games through the 2026-27 season.

The person spoke Monday on the condition of anonymity because the deal still was being completed and did not reveal financial details.

The MAC has three years left on its current eight-year deal with ESPN that pays the conference about $1 million a year.

The person said the new deal reworks the final years of the old contract. The new agreement also gives ESPN rights to some MAC men’s and women’s basketball and Olympic sports.

The MAC and ESPN said in a news release later Monday that they planned to make a major announcement today, but gave no details.

The MAC has found a niche on TV with late-season weeknight football games on ESPN. The MAC’s often high-scoring Tuesday and Wednesday night games in November have built almost a cult following and even given birth to the Twitter hashtag #MACtion. The unusual time slot gives the conference a chance to showcase its big games and best teams when there usually are no other college football games vying for air time.

WR Holmes has no enemies here

By ARTHUR ARKUSH aarkush@chicagofootball.com LAKE FOREST – Santonio Holmes will spend the next two weeks trying to revive his NFL career with the Bears.

He’s a former Super Bowl MVP and 1,000-yard receiver. The 30-year old Holmes also arrives in Chicago with a reputation as a malcontent, one that threw teammates and coaches under the bus regularly.

He reunites in Chicago with former Steelers and Jets teammates, all of whom said on Monday that despite his reputation, Holmes has no relationship repairing to do with them.

“They didn’t consult me at all, but I would’ve vouched for him,” said left guard Matt Slauson, who was in the huddle Holmes was reportedly jettisoned from by his teammates as the Jets were trying to clinch a postseason berth in

Week 17 of the 2011 season. “I like the guy. I think he’s a great teammate. Things out in New York got overblown just because of the way things went on there.”

Slauson, whose locker is next to Holmes’, called him a “passionate guy,” but said Holmes wasn’t the only player frustrated in the Jets locker room. Holmes was released in March, however,

The 33-year-old Leighton provides some organizational depth behind starter Corey Crawford and backup Antti Raanta. Barring injury, he could spend much of the year with the Hawks’ AHL affiliate in Rockford.

Leighton was drafted by the Hawks in the sixth round of the 1999 draft and made his NHL debut with them in January 2003.

He has a 35-41-14 record with a 2.97 goals-against average in parts of eight seasons with the Hawks, Nashville, Philadelphia and Carolina.

Leighton was in goal for Philadelphia when Patrick Kane scored in overtime in Game 6 of the 2010 Stanley Cup Final, giving the Hawks the title.

The Hawks announced the contract Monday.

MLB

Conte expected to play Friday

By KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@shawmedia.com LAKE FOREST – The Bears returned to Halas Hall for practice Monday, four days before taking on the Seattle Seahawks in the always pivotal third preseason game.

Coach Marc Trestman treated the practice like a normal game week, but said he added some extra reps after the players had three days off.

The additional practice time is crucial for safety Chris Conte, who plans on seeing his first game action Friday night. He returned to practice Aug. 10, after offseason shoulder surgery, and is very much in the mix to start at safety.

“He’s been working hard to get back and our intention is to give him some work this

weekend in the game,” defensive coordinator Mel Tucker said. “Obviously, we’re excited to have him back on the field, and he’s working.”

The other player who should return Friday night, and has a golden opportunity to grab a roster spot is Chris Williams, who practiced Mon- Chris Conte day for the first time since injuring his hamstring in the Aug. 8 preseason opener. That should mean special teams coordinator Joe DeCamillis can see how Williams fares returning kicks against an NFL opponent.

“The speed obviously shows up. We saw it on that one play,”

DeCamillis said. “We just have to see him in some live-bullet situations to see how he’s going to catch punts in the National Football League and kickoffs.

So we’ve just got to see that and hopefully we get a chance to do that.”

Three starters sit: Kyle Fuller, who hurt his ankle against Jacksonville, did not practice Monday, and neither did Lance Briggs, who has a knee contusion. Jordan Mills (foot), Eben Britton (hamstring), Brian de la Puente (knee) and Isaiah Frey (hamstring) remained out of practice. Mills is out of his walking boot, and Trestman said his injury is day-to-day.

“I can’t give you anything more than that. We’re hopeful it’s soon, but that’s all I’ve heard at this point in time, and

Ballmer debuts as L.A. Clippers owner LOS ANGELES – Sweating, clapping and shouting until he nearly was hoarse, Steve Ballmer introduced himself to Los Angeles Clippers fans at a rally Monday celebrating his new ownership of the NBA team.

The former Microsoft CEO made his way through the crowd inside Staples Center to Eminem’s “Lose Yourself,” exchanging high-fives and chest-bumping as he took the stage in front of 4,500 fans.

Ballmer paid a record $2 billion for the team in a sale that was confirmed by a judge last week. The name of disgraced former owner Donald Sterling, who controlled the team for 33 years before being banned for life by the NBA for racist remarks, was never uttered during the rally.

“We’re looking forward,” Ballmer proclaimed, having removed his blue Clippers hat.

“Everything is about looking forward.”

that’s the way we’ve looked at it – just day to day,” he said.

Tight end Dante Rosario (calf), who missed Thursday’s preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, returned to practice.

Losing Weems: The Bears did not lose an important part of their offense or return game, as seen in his opportunities in the preseason, but Eric Weems was a steady special teams contributor.

“First of all, a world of respect for him,” DeCamillis said about the team’s decision to release Weems. “He’s a great individual. He’s exactly what football’s about, in my opinion, just the way he conducts himself and the way he does things, But at the end of the day, we’ve got to make the best 53 for the Chicago Bears.”

Coaches like Lynch’s competitive edge

Simms, Dungy likely not to use ‘Redskins’ on TV NEW YORK – Two influential NFL voices – including CBS lead analyst Phil Simms, who will handle Washington’s Week 4 game – said Monday they likely won’t use the term “Redskins” when discussing the franchise.

“My very first thought is it will be Washington the whole game,” Simms said Monday.

Simms will work the Thursday night package the network acquired this season and will have Giants-Redskins on Sept. 25. He isn’t taking sides in the debate over whether Washington’s nickname is offensive or racist.

But he said he is sensitive to the complaints about the name, and his instincts now are to not use Redskins in his announcing.

“I never really thought about it, and then it came up and it made me think about it,” Simms added. “There are a lot of things that can come up in a broadcast, and I am sensitive to this.”

His broadcast partner, Jim Nantz, said it is “not my job to take a stance.”

NBC’s Tony Dungy, one of the most prominent voices in the league as a Super Bowl-winning coach and now as a studio commentator, plans to take the same route as Simms.

“I will personally try not to use Redskins and refer to them as Washington,” Dungy said in an email. “Personal opinion for me, not the network.”

Cubs starter Kyle Hendricks pitches to a Mets batter Monday at Citi Field in New York. The Cubs won, 4-1.

CUBS 4, METS 1

Hendricks, Baez lead Cubs past Mets

By HOWIE RUMBERG The Associated Press NEW YORK – On days Kyle Hendricks is on the mound, he can count on Javier Baez, his buddy from the minor leagues, for plenty of run support.

It’s a combo beleaguered Cubs’ fans can get excited about.

Hendricks and two relievers held New York to four or fewer hits for the fifth straight game, Baez and Anthony Rizzo homered, and the Cubs rallied for a 4-1 victory over the Mets on Monday.

“When he’s pitching and he got a good game, I got a good game, too,” Baez said.

Teammates at Triple-A Iowa for much of the season, Baez

hit two homers in his third career game Aug. 7 to help make Hendricks a winner in his fifth career start. This time, Baez’s mammoth two-run shot into the second deck in left field off Mets closer Jenrry Mejia put the Cubs up 4-1.

“That’s typical right there,” Hendricks said of the homer.

“Not really shocking for us.”

Hendricks (5-1) gave up three hits in seven innings, allowing only Lucas Duda’s home run in the fourth. The right-hander won his fourth straight start – yielding four earned runs over 29⅓ innings.

“I wasn’t that sharp but then made that mistake to Duda and it kind of locked me in after that,” Hendricks said.

Ex-Jets, Steeler say WR was a good teammate • HOLMES Continued from page B1 with two years left on a fiveyear, $50 million pact.

Tight end Matt Mulligan, teammates with Holmes in New York from 2010-11, said he knows Holmes better than any media outlet, and has the utmost respect for him as a teammate and player.

“We all got along up there,” said Mulligan. “I respect Santonio; he’s a great player, and I think he’ll really be able to help this team.”

Coming off consecutive injury-shortened seasons, Holmes can help the Bears without being the explosive playmaker he was in Pittsburgh. The Bears have a gaping hole at No. 3 receiver, and Holmes’ punt return experience might also be of value.

But no current Bear had a closer glimpse of Holmes’ dynamic skills in Pittsburgh than safety Ryan Mundy, a rookie the same season Holmes was crowned Super Bowl XLIII MVP after his last-second catch beat the Cardinals.

ORIOLES 8, WHITE SOX 2

O’s smack 3 homers

By JOHN JACKSON The Associated Press CHICAGO – Nick Markakis hit a two-run homer and prevented one with a leaping catch in right field, and Nelson Cruz and J.J. Hardy each added a solo shot to power the Baltimore Orioles past the White Sox, 8-2, Monday night.

Markakis was 3 for 5 with two RBIs and two runs, helping the Orioles increase their AL East lead to 7½ games over the idle New York Yankees.

Cruz hit his 32nd homer, passing Sox rookie Jose Abreu

to accurately measure from the outside. But it’s the little things – his footwork at running back or the way he takes on blocks on special teams – that Lynch picks up on, seeing things that perhaps others don’t, proving that he’s closer to being an NFL player than when he first arrived.

For now, Lynch can’t afford to get wrapped up in what his future with the Bears holds. He won’t concern himself about what outsiders’ preliminary 53-man rosters look like or questions about what he would need to do between now and Aug. 30 when the roster is trimmed to stay on with his hometown team.

“I don’t have to worry about that,” Lynch said. “I just have to go out there every day and compete and try to get a spot on this team.”

for the American League lead.

Cruz is tied with Mike Stanton of the Miami Marlins for most in the majors.

Bud Norris (11-7) allowed two runs and three hits in seven innings to win his third straight start.

Sox ace Chris Sale (10-3) yielded three runs and eight hits in six innings. He has dropped two straight decisions.

Avisail Garcia drove in both the Sox’s runs.

Sale worked out of a jam in the first inning after allowing the first two batters to reach on singles.

gan, Mundy said he has fond memories of Holmes, a playmaker he recalls regularly “taking quick slants 60 yards to the house,” but none of the player who would go on to burn bridges in Pittsburgh and New York.

Mundy did acknowledge that the Steelers’ veteran locker room wasn’t conducive for that type of behavior, and he sees a lot of similarities in the environment coach Marc Trestman has created in Chicago.

“That’s the first thing that I felt when I came here in April – wow, this kind of reminds me of Pittsburgh,” said Mundy. “… And that’s a good thing. You come here, you’re a Chicago Bear, and we’re going to embrace you with open arms.”

For his part, Holmes on Monday said whatever reputation has preceded him in prior stops remains in the past.

“It’s neither here nor there right now,” Holmes said. “…

Being in this new organization is a new move for me and a great opportunity for me to take advantage of and be part of a great organization.”

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – There are hundreds of guidebooks on how to handle grief, how to navigate the emotional suffering that follows a significant loss.

None of those studies offer a clean timetable on when the roller coaster of emotion will come to a stop. So there is no timetable on when Tony Stewart will get back into a race car.

The three-time NASCAR champion has skipped two races since he struck and killed Kevin Ward Jr. during an Aug. 9 sprint car race. His Stewart-Haas Racing team will not pressure him to return, and wins and trophies and a berth in the important Chase for the Sprint Cup championship all have been put into perspective in a sport in which the show always goes on.

“The Chase is of the lowest priority as it relates to Tony right now,” said Brett Frood, executive vice president at SHR. “Right now it’s about getting Tony in a better place than he is. When he’s ready to do that, he’ll get back in the car.”

Stewart has been in seclusion since Ward’s death, his whereabouts undisclosed.

He’s been described as heartbroken, devastated for Ward’s family and overcome by the outpouring of behind-the-scenes support he’s received from the NASCAR community. But few people have spoken to Stewart, who seems to be navigating through this grief process away from many he’s close to at the track.

Kevin Harvick, his longtime friend and teammate, said Sunday he’s not spoken to Stewart. Nor had Rick Hendrick, one of the most steadying voices in NASCAR and a mentor to many, including Stewart.

Dr. Joseph R. Ferrari, a social phycologist at DePaul University, said Stewart could be acting on the advice of legal counsel, or simply struggling through a tricky

sparring early and often with reporters.

“Everybody in this garage knows Tony. Tony doesn’t beat his chest and talk about the things he does for people.

We know it, we see it, but nobody else does,” said Jeff Burton, who replaced Stewart on Sunday. “Earnhardt was like that. Earnhardt didn’t want anybody to know the things he did for people.

“A lot of people only know Tony because he threw a helmet. They only know Tony because he got mad. I just hate when people jump to conclusions.”

BOYS GOLF: BOYLAN INVITE

Barbs winners in season opener STAFF REPORT sports@daily-chronicle.com Austin Freeman and the DeKalb boys golf team started the season on the right foot.

Freeman won the Boylan Invite on Monday at The Ledges in Rockton, carding a 2-under-par 70, pacing the Barbs (296) to a one-stroke win over Hononegah (297).

After starting the day with a double bogey, Ben Melms settled down to shoot a 1-over 73 for DeKalb. Jacob Cook shot a 76 and Connor Hoyle a 77 for the Barbs to take 10th and 11th, respectively.

“It kind of validates those kids and the hard work they put in during the summer,” coach John Cordes said. “It’s also a nice measure of how we’re going to do on a nonhome course.”

The junior-varsity team won on the power of its fifth golfer, Ben Vance, who shot an 87. Nathan Sisler’s 81 led the way for the Barbs and put him in a tie for third.

LITTLE LEAGUE WORLD SERIES

Jackie Robinson West edges Cumberland The ASSOCIATED PRESS SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – Joshua Houston’s tiebreaking RBI single in the fifth inning lifted Chicago’s Jackie Robinson West to an 8-7 victory over Cumberland, Rhode Island, on Monday night in the Little League World Series.

After Darion Radcliff’s RBI single tied the score, Houston drove a line drive down the left-field line to bring in pinch-runner Lawrence Noble from second base.

Cumberland scored five runs in the bottom of the third to take a 7-6 lead, but couldn’t score in the last two

Chicago’s Trey Hondras watches his three-run home run off Cumberland pitcher CJ Davock in the second inning of an elimination game in the Little League World Series on Monday night in South Williamsport, Pa. innings and was eliminated.

Tonight, Chicago will play Pearland, Texas.

Pitt new starting guard • HUSKIES Continued from page B1 The new starter up front is senior guard Tyler Pitt, but even he’s a veteran in a certain sense. Pitt has spent time rotating every other series at offensive guard. Now, the 6-foot-5, 314-pounder is listed as a starter at right guard. “[The experience] helps a lot because I’ve seen the field a lot, I know what’s going on,” Pitt said. “I’ve been playing here the whole time.

Now, I just want to start and play more, not get taken out because I can help the team

even more.”

The offensive line will play a big part in paving the way for the Huskies tailbacks and protecting either Matt McIntosh, Anthony Maddie or Drew Hare. NIU allowed only 0.79 sacks a game last year, a total that ranked second in the Mid-American Conference and fifth in the country.

Carey’s expectations are high.

“I expect them not to miss pickups, I expect them not to miss blitzes,” Carey said. “I expect them to handle their men that they see and to communicate.”

Young man with heart scar can cover it up Dear Abby: You printed a letter from “Self-Conscious in Georgia” (May 15), a young man who is insecure about the scar from his heart surgery. I have had three surgeries for congenital defects, my first at 2 years old.

Because many women’s fashions expose the upper chest, I applied anti-scar products, which greatly reduced the size and color of my scars.

Swimwear lines have sun-blocking swim shirts that are quick-drying and comfortable. At the beach, “Self-Conscious” could wear a beach-themed T-shirt and say he is reducing his sun exposure, which is a good idea these days.

As to anyone protesting his not going shirtless, true

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips friends accept your choices, no matter the circumstances.

They won’t call you out for not following the herd.

And another thing: The young man might benefit from a cardiac support group to lessen his feelings of isolation or inadequacy. He suffered trauma that led to and created that scar. Now he deserves to be happy on his own terms. – Was There Once And I’m Still Here Dear Still Here: Thank you for your comments. Readers were quick to offer messages of support to “Self-Con-

scious”:

Dear Abby: I am a registered nurse. That scar can be faded by using pure cocoa butter (in stick form, not lotion). It can be purchased at the pharmacy.

I would also like to let him know that in this part of the country, survivors are known as members of the “Zipper Club.” When I see patients with this scar, I know they have had open heart surgery. It alerts me to a whole realm of information before anything is said and directs how care is given in case of emergency. Please let “Self-Conscious” know his scar is not an eyesore, but a GIFT OF LIFE. – Proud R.N. in West Virginia Dear Abby: “Self-Conscious”

might benefit from getting a tattoo. A recent TV program aired a segment showing women with mastectomies receiving amazing designs to cover or beautify their scars.

With a good tattoo artist, these pieces can be life-altering and the artwork stunning.

– Janet in Annapolis, Maryland Dear Abby: I broke my ankle a few years ago. A wonderful surgeon and a fantastic physical therapist got me walking again, but I was left with several large, raised scars. I put wheat germ oil (full of vitamin E) on them in the morning and evening, and they are barely visible now. – Online Reader in Israel Dear Abby: For many years

I dated a young man with a similar scar, and it was something I found endearing.

To me, it was no different than freckles or a birthmark.

It was part of what made him unique. We all have our stories and history. His scar is an opening to share his. – Rose in Northampton, Massachusetts Dear Abby: I have a young friend who had open-heart surgery when she was a high school senior. On the night of her prom, she wore a strapless dress with her “red badge of courage” on full display.

– Sandra in Rochester, New Hampshire

Strategies help control urinary incontinence Dear Dr. K: I’ve had urinary incontinence ever since I gave birth last year. Why? Dear Reader: Many women who give birth vaginally go on to develop loss of bladder control. This is called urinary incontinence.

Childbirth can cause two types of incontinence. If urine leaks out when you jump, cough or laugh, or during any activity that puts pressure on your bladder, you have stress incontinence. You have urge incontinence (overactive bladder) if you feel a strong, overwhelming urge to urinate, even when your bladder isn’t full. You probably also release some urine before you make it to the bathroom.

How does vaginal delivery lead to incontinence? Your urinary system and repro-

ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff ductive organs are supported, in part, by your pelvic floor.

This is a network of muscles that extends from your pubic bone to your tailbone. The pelvic floor muscles are the muscles you tighten when you are trying to avoid urinating. (I’ve put an illustration of female reproductive and urinary organs on my website.)

As a baby makes his way through the vaginal birth canal, he may stretch – or even tear or damage – the pelvic floor muscles.

You are more likely to have pelvic floor damage if

your baby weighs more, if you’ve had more than one vaginal birth and if you spend more time in the “pushing” stage of labor. Having an episiotomy (a surgical cut made to expand the vaginal opening during delivery) also increases the risk of pelvic floor damage.

Delivery by cesarean section protects against severe incontinence. But some women do develop incontinence even if they have had only cesarean sections.

The following strategies can help you manage your incontinence: • Bladder training. This program of urinating on schedule enables you to gradually increase the amount of urine you can comfortably hold.

• Fluid management. Cutting

down on the amount of fluids you drink can help bring incontinence under control.

• Pelvic floor exercises. These exercises strengthen your pelvic floor muscles.

• Biofeedback. Some studies have found that biofeedback can help if added to bladder training or pelvic floor exercises. The evidence for this is not very strong.

• Cognitive behavior therapy.

This type of “talk therapy” is used to help people cope with, and control, both physical and psychological disorders.

It is sometimes used in addition to bladder training and pelvic floor exercises.

• Avoiding certain beverages.

I’ve had patients who discovered that their incontinence improved if they avoided alcoholic and carbonated

beverages, coffee and tea. I don’t think scientific studies provide strong support for this practice, but if it helps a patient, I urge them to continue it.

• Losing weight. If you are overweight, losing weight may help improve your incontinence.

If these changes are not sufficient, ask your doctor about other treatment options, including medication and surgery. Medications can be particularly helpful with urge incontinence. Yet all medicines have side effects, and the strategies I mention above usually control the problem successfully.

Obese teens usually spend their lives that way Teens: Do you lay off junk foods, get proper rest, exercise, and ration your TV-watching time? If your answer is yes, congratulations! But you are the exception, not the rule.

According to a study in The Journal of The American Medical Association, U.S. children 18 and younger are adding unwanted pounds at an alarming rate. In the past decade, the percentage of significantly overweight children has almost doubled.

In prior studies, it took 30 years for the overweight percentage to double. This is an alarming statistic. Among

TODAY – Continue your pursuit for knowledge and enlightenment.

The more you learn, the greater will be the opportunities for a lucrative and rewarding career. Your intelligence and sociable nature will make you a genuine asset to any venture you undertake.

Think big and follow your dreams.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – This is a particularly good time for collaborations or partnerships. You will get a helping hand from an unexpected source, and will move much closer to achieving a long-term goal.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Keep your personal life out of your workplace. If your domestic affairs are dominating your thoughts, your productivity will suffer and career woes are likely to develop.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Make a move toward greater independence. A business of your own, no matter how small in the beginning, will give you an outlet for your creative talent that will prove very lucrative.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Don’t let your head rule your heart.

Remember to share your feelings with those you care about. The response you get will put you at ease and encourage a closer bond.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Your fight for what is right will continue. If you see someone treated unfairly, take a stand. You will gain respect, support and an invitation to work collectively toward a worthy cause.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – A business acquaintance will need a helping hand. The assistance you offer will be appreciated and rewarded, but make sure you take time out to nurture your own needs, as well.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Getting out of the house to attend an inspirational or stimulating event will allow you to meet new people and form lasting friendships. A joint venture looks promising.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – You may feel laden with responsibilities. Strive for balance between your work and personal duties.

Find a calm place where you can relax and let your imagination entertain you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – You have a remarkable capacity for knowledge. Keep well-informed by participating in intellectually oriented groups. By expanding your expertise, you can make great strides toward your future goals.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Don’t be nonchalant about your achievements. Speak up and make sure that your accomplishments are noticed. Self-promotion is necessary to let others know what you have to offer.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – It’s best to deal with personal matters on your own. Don’t let misunderstandings fester. Be the first to offer a compromise. Professionalism will speak volumes about your ability to lead.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – You can get a lot accomplished if you tackle your tasks head-on. Find a quiet place conducive to finishing what you start. Collaborative efforts will not be in your best interest.

I can understand where you are all coming from, but life itself isn’t always logical.

My boyfriend is in the military overseas and has two more years left to serve of a four-year term. In the past two years, I have only seen him once and that was for a grand total of 20 minutes. He had a very short layover at an airport seven hours from

my home. I drove there and back in one day.

Four years is a long time to be separated, but I look at it this way: Four years is just a minor inconvenience when we plan on being together the rest of our lives. Being separated from a loved one for 1,460 days isn’t easy. It takes heaps of courage, dedication and strength on both parts.

I don’t just sit at home and wait. Rather, I go out with my friends (including guys occasionally) and I keep busy helping out at two local nursing homes. I really love my boyfriend, and to wait for him is the only way I could

possibly live my life.

To all the people in love but not married, and who will be separated for quite some time, I ask you, do you have courage, dedication and strength? If you answer a strong yes, then go for it, and don’t let anyone tell you differently. – Keeping Busy, Rockford, Illinois Keeping Busy: Thanks for taking the time to share your story. It will help many young women in similar situations to make intelligent (and not simply “logical”) decisions.

8CROSSWORD

BRIDGE Phillip Alder

Get into the habit of good habits Confucius said, “Men’s natures are alike; it is their habits that carry them far apart.”

That certainly applies to bridge players – although claiming that all players’ natures are alike would be stretching the truth.

This week we are exploring some common habits of players that can cost points.

Look at the North and East hands. Against four hearts, West leads the club six. How should East plan the defense?

South opened with a weak two-bid, showing a respectable six-card suit and 5-10 high-card points. One can be a tad liberal when nonvulnerable. North understandably took a shot at game. He knew that they might lose the first four tricks in the black suits, but maybe the contract was laydown, or perhaps West might lead a diamond, letting South run for home with hearts headed by the kingqueen.

The adage that does not work on this deal is “return your partner’s suit.” That is much more likely to be right in no-trump than in a suit.

Here, if East returns a club, West wins the trick but is endplayed. He cannot do better than to exit with a diamond to dummy’s jack. But South continues with the heart ace and another trump to take one spade, five hearts and four diamonds.

East can see three probable winners in the heart king, club ace and club king. (West would not have been likely to lead from jack-high clubs.)

The fourth trick has to come from spades. If West holds that ace, there is no hurry, but if he has the king, there isn’t a moment to lose.

At trick two, East must shift to the spade seven (top of nothing). Then the contract will fail.
