Outline for next decade is revealed

by DeKalb NIU group creates draft of city’s 10-year strategic policy

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN bkeeperman@shawmedia.com DeKALB – The city is one step closer to adopting a formal 10-year strategic plan after a marathon meeting Thursday.

DeKalb hosted 48 group discussions – including 15 “community conversations” – between May 1 and July 31. A total of 321 people participated in the workshops that focused on identifying DeKalb’s assets and weaknesses.

Northern Illinois University’s Center for Governmental Studies put together a draft plan based on those group discussions, including sample mission statements.

“What we have here is the preliminary framework,” said Diana Robinson, director of the Center for Governmental Studies.

The goal is to put a 10-year strategic plan into place by Nov. 4, Mayor John Rey said at Thursday’s planning workshop.

The strategic plan will provide the city with a framework for future action and guide the America’s Best Communities group as it puts together DeKalb’s quarterfinalist application, which has to identify future goals and a vision for the city.

DeKalb is one of 50 cities in the nation to achieve quar-

terfinalist status in Frontier Communications America’s Best Communities competition. First place would net the city $3 million.

Five major “vision themes” were identified by Center for Governmental Studies, based on reoccurring talking points brought up by residents during the community conversations. The goal would be to fully address those issues through the city’s strategic plan.

The five issues identified were a sense of identity, community vitality and a thriving downtown, inclusivity, accessibility and quality, and responsive services.

Accessibility issues included transportation to surrounding cities such as Rockford and Elburn, and providing easier ways to get to Chicago and O’Hare International Airport.

DeKalb’s draft mission statement is “To deliver high quality municipal services to those who live, work, learn in or visit our community through fiscal responsibility, transparency, innovation and leadership that continuously improves the quality of life.”

Bob Snow, 4th Ward alderman, said he felt the mission statement is an evolving process.

Dems pledge to stand united in face of Rauner ‘attacks’

By JOHN O’CONNOR and SARA BURNETT The Associated Press

Speaker of the House Michael Madigan, D-Chicago, greets supporters during a rally Thursday at the Illinois State Fair in Springfield.

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois Democrats, set back on their heels by an “epic struggle” with first-year Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner, pledged Thursday to stand shoulder-to-shoulder in opposition while a potentially bruising primary for a U.S. Senate race took shape.

The party controlling both houses of the General Assembly marked Democrat Day at the Illinois State Fair in the unfamiliar position of defense, locked in

a fight with Rauner over a state budget.

The first-time officeholder, carrying an agenda to curb union power, ended a dozen years of Democratic residence in the governor’s office last fall in an election drawing fewer than half of eligible voters to the polls.

“When we vote, we win.

When we don’t, we get a government that doesn’t like us, look like us, and sure as [heck] has got an agenda to put us out of business,” labor leader Edward Smith said in a keynote address at a downtown morning brunch

before the fairgrounds assembly. “We’ve got to leave this room fired up. ... I’ll give the governor one thing: He’s united the [heck] out of us.”

It marked a day of jabs at Rauner for attacks on the middle class, the minimum wage, labor rights and working families. But Thursday afternoon at the traditional, old-style state fair rally, few answered the trumpet to arms.

The crowd quickly dwindled. Chicago City Clerk Susana Mendoza, a candidate for state comptroller, told about 50 stalwarts, “Thanks for sticking

Cheating website users traced Search reveals federal officials subscribe

By JACK GILLUM and TED BRIDIS The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Hundreds of U.S. government employees – including some with sensitive jobs in the White House, Congress and law enforcement agencies – used Internet connections in their federal offices to access and pay membership fees to the cheating website Ashley Madison, The Associated Press has learned.

The AP traced many of the accounts exposed by hackers back to federal workers. They included at least two assistant U.S. attorneys; an information technology administrator in the Executive Office of the President; a division chief, an investigator and a trial attorney in the Justice Department; a government hacker at the Homeland Security Department and another DHS employee who indicated he worked on a U.S. counterterrorism response team.

Few actually paid for their services with their government email accounts. But AP

traced their government Internet connections – logged by the website over five years – and reviewed their credit-card transactions to identify them.

They included workers at more than two dozen Obama administration agencies, including the departments of State, Defense, Justice, Energy, Treasury, Transportation and Homeland Security. Others came from House or Senate computer networks.

The AP is not naming the government subscribers it found because they are not elected officials or accused of a crime.

Hackers this week released detailed records on millions of people registered with the website one month after the break-in at Ashley Madison’s parent company, Toronto-based Avid Life Media Inc. The website – whose slogan is, “Life is short. Have an affair” – is marketed to facilitate extra-marital affairs.

Many federal customers appeared to use nongovernment email addresses with handles such as “sexlessmarriage,” “soontobesingle” or “latin-

lovers.” Some Justice Department employees appeared to use pre-paid credit cards to help preserve their anonymity but connected to the service from their office computers.

“I was doing some things I shouldn’t have been doing,” a Justice Department investigator told the AP. Asked about the threat of blackmail, the investigator said if prompted he would reveal his actions to his family and employer to prevent it. “I’ve worked too hard all my life to be a victim of blackmail. That wouldn’t happen,” he said. He spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was deeply embarrassed and not authorized by the government to speak to reporters using his name.

The AP’s analysis also found hundreds of transactions associated with Department of Defense networks, either at the Pentagon or from armed services connections elsewhere.

Defense Secretary Ash Carter confirmed the Pentagon was looking into the list of people who used military email addresses. Adultery can be a criminal offense under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

“I’m aware it,” Carter said. “Of course it’s an issue because conduct is very important. And we expect good conduct on the part of our people. ... The services are looking into it and as well they should be. Absolutely.”

The AP’s review was the first to reveal that federal workers used their office systems to access the site, based on their Internet Protocol addresses associated with credit card transactions.

It focused on searching for government employees in especially sensitive positions who could perhaps become blackmail targets.

The government hacker at the Homeland Security Department, who did not respond to phone or email messages, included photographs of his wife and infant son on his Facebook page.

One assistant U.S. attorney declined through a spokesman to speak to the AP, and another did not return phone or email messages.

A White House spokesman said Thursday he could not immediately comment on the matter. The IT administrator in the White House did not return email messages.

Jimmy Carter speaks about his cancer

By KATHLEEN FOODY The Associated Press ATLANTA – With a broad smile and an upbeat attitude, former President Jimmy Carter told the world Thursday that he has cancer in his brain, and feels “perfectly at ease with whatever comes.”

Carter said doctors had removed melanoma from his liver, but found four small tumors in his brain. Later Thursday, he had the first of four targeted radiation treatments.

He also will Jimmy Carter receive more injections of a newly approved drug to help his immune system seek out and destroy the cancer cells wherever else they may appear. Wearing blue jeans and a blazer, Carter spoke with good humor and unsparing honesty, revealing that he had kept suspicions of cancer from his wife, Rosalynn, for weeks until the diagnosis was confirmed in June.

“Now I feel it’s in the hands of God, whom I worship, and I’ll be prepared for anything that comes,” he said.

Carter’s team of doctors at Emory Health Care includes

Jill Stuckey places “Jimmy Carter for Cancer Survivor” signs in front of the Jimmy Carter presidential campaign headquarters Thursday in downtown Plains, Ga. The former president returned to his hometown after announcing he has cancer in four small spots of his brain.

Dr. Walter Curran Jr., who runs Emory’s Winship Cancer Institute. Treatments for melanoma have improved tremendously recently, and Carter’s prospects are good even at the age of 90, Curran said. But he cautioned against the idea that Carter can be “cured.”

“We’re not looking for a cure in patients who have a disease like melanoma that has spread,” Curran said.

“The goal is control and to have a good quality of life.”

Carter said he thought the

cancer was only in his liver and was removed with surgery Aug. 3, but an MRI exam that same afternoon showed the spots on his brain. Carter said he went home that night thinking he had only a few weeks to live, but found himself feeling “surprisingly at ease.”

The former president didn’t discuss his long-term prognosis, but said he will cut back dramatically on his humanitarian work while following the orders of a team that includes the world’s best

“cancer-treaters.”

His treatment regimen will include three more sessions three weeks apart. The tumors in his brain will be blasted by concentrated beams of radiation, and he will get more injections of pembrolizumab, which was approved by the FDA for melanoma patients earlier this year.

“This is not a eulogy in any way,” said grandson Jason Carter, who is taking over as chairman of the board of trustees at the Carter Center, which promotes peace, democracy and health care improvements around the world.

Still, his grandfather’s responses to reporters often expanded into reflections on his life, faith and family.

“I’ve had a wonderful life,” Carter said. “I’ve had thousands of friends, I’ve had an exciting, adventurous and gratifying existence. So I was surprisingly at ease, much more so than my wife was.”

Rarely letting his grin fade, Carter said he has not felt any serious pain or weakness, and slept for 14 hours the previous night after receiving his first injection.

“I think it’s about the best sleep I’ve had in many years,” he said.

Arrest leads to underwater tunnel across border The ASSOCIATED PRESS CALEXICO, Calif. – The arrest of a drug smuggler in scuba gear led to the discovery of a tunnel from Mexico that’s partially underwater and ends in a canal.

Evelio Padilla pleaded guilty Wednesday in federal court in San Diego to one count of possession of drugs with intent to distribute.

Border Patrol agents said in court documents that they discovered a soaked Padilla in a wetsuit next to the All-Amer-

ican Canal, about 7 miles east of Calexico, California, on April 25. Near him, they found a breathing tank with a “rebreather” to prevent surface bubbles, and several vacuum-sealed and giftwrapped packages that held a total of 55 pounds of cocaine.

That led to the discovery of the 150-foot-long tunnel, which began at a house in Mexicali, Mexico, and ended under the water of the canal.

The drugs were put on a trolley system on the dry Mexico side of the tunnel, and

smugglers would use scuba gear to retrieve it from under the canal’s water from an opening that is normally obscured by rocks.

“Drug smugglers will try anything to move their product – even scuba diving in an underwater tunnel,” U.S. Attorney Laura Duffy said in a statement. “The ingenuity of the smugglers is matched only by our determination to thwart it.”

According to the criminal complaint against him, Padilla, a 28-year-old Honduran

national who had been living in Mexicali, was told he would be helping to get people across the border, but after jumping the international boundary fence was told he would be smuggling drugs instead. Padilla said he had no other option.

Authorities have not said whether they have learned who built and operated the tunnel, or whether more arrests were expected.

Padilla faces a maximum of 20 years in prison at sentencing.

DeKalb County home sales up 25.8 percent DAILY CHRONICLE news@daily-chronicle.com DeKALB – DeKalb County home sales increased 25.8 percent in July, while prices increased and supply fell.

Sales of existing county homes jumped to 122 last month, compared with 97 sales in July 2014. Through July, the county’s home sales for 2015 were up 22.9 percent to 698, up from 568

during the first seven months of 2014, according to numbers released Thursday by the Illinois Association of Realtors.

The median sales price for properties in the county hit $162,500 in July, up 23.6 percent from $131,500 in July 2014. Yearto-date, however, the increase in median sales price is much more modest. So far this year, the median sales price has increased 1.6 percent to $145,000,

up from $142,700 during the same period in 2014. The report notes that activity for one month can sometimes look extreme because of a small sample size.

The median sales price for single-family homes was up 13 percent to $165,000; condo prices were up 17.3 percent to $139,000, according to IAR. Median price gains came as inventory continued to fall. The

inventory of homes for sale in the county fell to 494 in July, down 18.1 percent from 603 in July 2014.

Homes also spent more time on the market last month. The number of days on market until sale increased 15.3 percent to 68 days, compared with 59 days until sale in July 2014.

Statewide home sales in July totaled 16,901 homes sold, up 8 percent from July 2014 when

DeKALB – Hinckley residents will get to voice their concerns – or support – for proposed changes to an annexation agreement for the Royal Estates subdivision that could bring more residents but also would provide more impact fees for local schools.

A public hearing set for 7 p.m. Aug. 31 at Hinckley Village Hall, 720 James St., will focus on proposed changes to the annexation agreement.

“I want people to understand what’s going on and what’s at stake, and how it can benefit the village,” said Hinckley Village President James Roderick Lake County Grading Co. now owns roughly 43 acres near the north side of town on Miller Avenue where Royal Estates is to be built. The company is also the developer for the project.

The grading company had been a lienholder against the property, which went into foreclosure with the previous owner-developer. The bank

that took possession of the property went belly up as well, Roderick said.

The existing annexation agreement, signed in 1993, would allow 80 single-family homes , along with age-restricted units for buyers age 55 and older.

But the developer is proposing a mix that would include having different multifamily units. The changes require amending the annexation agreement.

“The plans before the trustees now would enable the subdivision to be marketable and to go forward,” said Stephan Phillips, one of the owners of Lake County Grading.

Proposed amendments would allow a mix of single-family homes, age-restricted units and duplexes.

A second proposal allows for the multifamily homes to be a combination of duplexes and three-unit buildings.

However, the agreement also states that if the developer can not sell the age-restricted properties after a year of marketing them, they could be sold to people of any age.

At previous Village Board meetings, residents have voiced their concerns about having multifamily dwellings.

Although the developer’s requests would increase the population density, they also would allow the village leverage to reap more financial benefit, Roderick said.

In total, the town could collect as much as $8,349 in development fees per single-family unit built, and $7,849 per multifamily unit. Additionally, Hinckley could get land for a library and its schools could get an infusion of cash – $3,000 for each single family unit and $2,500 for every multifamily unit constructed.

“It seems like a good thing for a community to be adding in multiple-age families into the community in order to support the local businesses,” Phillips said.

Roderick said he thinks Village Board members have made up their minds about the subdivision plan.

“I don’t think one public hearing is going to change anybody’s mind, one way or the other,” he said.

Ex-CEO pleads guilty in case of traffic cam bribes

By MICHAEL TARM The Associated Press CHICAGO – The former chief executive of a red-light camera company changed her plea to guilty Thursday in a scheme that funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes to secure $124 million in Chicago contracts.

Karen Finley, a longtime executive at Phoenix-based Redflex Traffic Systems Inc., looked calm as she pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Chicago, telling Judge Virginia Kendall she understood she now faced the possibility of spending up to five years behind bars.

Finley, 55, of Cave Creek, Arizona, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit federal-program bribery.

Under the terms of a plea deal, prosecutors agreed to dismiss more than a dozen other counts. Sentencing was set for Feb. 18. Chicago awarded its first contract to Redflex in 2003 and signed others later as it expanded its red-light enforcement program.

Much-vilified by drivers, the program uses cameras to automatically record and ticket drivers who run red lights. In June, Finley pleaded guilty to similar charges in a federal case in Ohio.

“Today Redflex is focused on making a life-saving difference in the over 170 communities we serve.”

Tilden Katz Redflex spokesman In the Chicago case, Finley acknowledged that she arranged for cash and benefits to go to a city transportation official, John Bills, and his friend; the benefits included golf trip and hiring the official’s friend as a Redflex contractor, according to the plea agreement.

Bills, who retired in 2012, has pleaded not guilty to extortion, bribery and other charges. His trial is scheduled for January. Neither Finley nor her attorney spoke to reporters after Wednesday’s hearing. Redflex spokesman Tilden Katz released a statement noting that Finley was replaced at the company more than two years ago.

“Today,” he said, “Redflex is focused on making a life-saving difference in the over 170 communities we serve.”

The city is a quarterfinalist in the contest, whose grand prize is a $3 million grant.

The Farmers’ Market has long been a staple of community life in the summertime, said DeKalb Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Matt Duffy.

“Obviously one of DeKalb’s legacies is agriculture, as the mayor touched on, so this is a chance for us to showcase some of the area agriculture,” he said. “... In fact, it’s been one of our cornerstones in the middle

“It’s really great. Everybody’s friendly. Everybody’s having a good time,” Bennett said. “My husband and I always do an informational booth once a month here for the DeKalb County Farmland Foundation. “... No farms. No food. We got to keep having it.”

STATE BRIEFS Arena renovation project on track at U of Illinois

CHAMPAIGN – A $165 million renovation of the State Farm Center will be about 80 percent complete when the basketball arena opens Dec. 2 for the University of Illinois’ game against University of Notre Dame, according to athletic department officials.

During a tour of the venue Wednesday, senior associate athletic director Warren Hood said the renovations are currently about 64 percent done. He added that the project is on budget and on schedule.

Since the public last was allowed inside the arena March 4, crews have been working to demolish old seating and pour concrete. Upgrades to the stadium include improved student seating, additional bathrooms and new concessions.

Half of the building’s windows have been bumped out 10 to 15 feet to create “a lot of extra square footage in the concourse areas,” Hood said.

Six elevators, five for regular passenger use and one for service use, are being installed in the arena. Crews also are completing the newly designed “grand entrance” on the building’s west side and a new circle drive entrance on the east side of the arena.

“For the last four or five months it’s been a very difficult project to walk around, for safety reasons,” Hood said. “The demo was quicker than we thought and that was helpful.”

Although the arena’s overall capacity for basketball games will shrink by about 1,000 seats, the student seating area will more than double its size, from 570 to 1,200 seats, Hood said.

Grayslake school hit by tornado opens on time

GRAYSLAKE – A Chicago-area high school has started its school year on time less than two weeks after it was damaged by an EF-1 tornado.

The Waukegan News-Sun reported Grayslake Central High School welcomed back students Aug. 13. During a storm Aug. 2, portions of the Lake County school’s roof were tossed across the street, and the building also suffered other damage.

Contractors worked nearly around the clock to fix the roof.

Finger said Wednesday that the damage is estimated to cost roughly $350,000.

Ill. unemployment rate falls to 5.8 percent in July CHICAGO – Illinois’ unemployment rate continued to fall in July, hitting 5.8 percent. That’s the lowest unemployment rate the state has seen since 2008.

The Illinois Department of Employment Security said Thursday in its monthly report on unemployment that the jobless rate fell from 5.9 percent in June. The federal government said earlier this month that the national unemployment rate was 5.3 percent in July.

The agency said Illinois added a net 1,900 jobs for the month.

However, agency Director Jeff Mays complained that the country as a whole has added jobs at a faster rate this year.

Illinois’ government, construction, and leisure and hospitality sectors in July each added more than 2,000 new jobs over what they lost. The agency said the number of unemployed workers fell 2.3 percent to 373,600.

Jury decides suspect is fit for trial in cop’s death

CHICAGO – A Cook County jury had decided a man accused of killing a Chicago police officer is mentally fit for trial.

The jury Thursday decided Marcus Floyd was mentally fit – despite an amnesia claim – to stand trial in the killing of off-duty Chicago police officer Thomas Wortham IV. Judge Timothy Joyce set Floyd’s trial for Oct. 13. Public defender David McMahon contended Floyd suffered “retrograde amnesia” after losing massive amounts of blood and suffering two heart attacks. McMahon said the 24-year-old Floyd “doesn’t know what his defense is.”

Floyd was shot by the father of the 30-year-old Wortham IV, who was killed in a May 2010 shootout with men trying to steal his motorcycle.

Two men, Paris McGee and Toyious Taylor, have been convicted of Wortham’s murder and sentenced to life in prison.

Is a fixed rate mortgage loan right for you?

SPONSORED BY

By Denise Freese There are various considerations to take into account when choosing a mortgage loan. You will select a lender, a loan type, and a time frame to fit your needs. A fixed rate mortgage loan, one of the most popular loan types available today, offers several advantages to the homebuyer.

A fixed rate loan is a good choice if you plan to stay in your home for a long time.

You’ll have the security of a monthly payment that will never change, but you have the option to refinance your loan if interest rates drop significantly. A regular fixed payment helps with budgeting, and you don’t ever have to worry about a rate increase.

Illinois Community Credit Union (ICCU) offers various types of fixed rate loans to its members. Conventional loans come with a 10, 15, or 30-year payment term; a 30year loan offers the lowest monthly payment, but the 15 and 10-year loans allow you to

pay off the loan faster (with a higher payment) and increase your interest savings.

FHA loans are also available through ICCU; these loans are for members who need low down-payment financing (5% or less). Federal VA loans, which don’t require a down payment, are available for qualified veterans as well .

Jennifer Smith, Marketing Specialist for ICCU, states that their goal is to provide the highest level of service at competitive rates. Applications can be submitted online for easy convenience and instant pre-qualification.

A Loan Officer will follow up with you to answer your questions.

ICCU also offers special perks to their members; you can sign up to receive an email when interest rates reach your target rate, or you can receive information about rates on a regular basis.

Police chief defends fatal shooting

By JIM SUHR and JIM SALTER The Associated Press

AP photo

Republican presidential candidate, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, speaks during a town hall campaign stop Thursday in Keene, N.H.

Bush looking to regain spotlight

By KATHLEEN RONAYNE and STEVE PEOPLES The Associated Press KEENE, N.H. – Having been knocked from his front-runner perch, a fiery Jeb Bush lashed out at Republican rival Donald Trump on Thursday as the former Florida governor fights to energize his stalled campaign and stop the billionaire businessman’s summer surge.

Bush’s name recognition and money – see his recent $100 million-plus fundraising haul – have kept him near the top of the Republican pack, where he has saved his most aggressive criticism for Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton for much of the year.

Now slipping in the polls, Bush abruptly changed course over the past 24 hours, following some Republican competitors who acknowledge Trump has become a serious threat that must be dealt with head on.

“There’s a big difference between Donald Trump and me,” Bush declared in New Hampshire on Thursday. “I’m a prov-

en conservative with a record.

He isn’t.”

He charged that Trump “proposed the largest tax increase in mankind’s history” and previously supported partial-birth abortion. “I’ve never met a person that actually thought that was a good idea.”

Bush continued: “He’s been a Democrat longer than being a Republican.”

The comments represent a sharp shift for Bush that underscores a larger political reality.

He has succeeded in raising far more money than his competitors, yet seven months after first signaling serious interest in a White House bid, the former Florida governor has yet to resonate with the vast majority of the GOP electorate.

His polling numbers are stagnant, he faces continued questions about his family connections, and influential GOP activists remain skeptical of his conservative bona fides.

“I’ve never met a single grass-roots voter who supports Jeb Bush,” said Mark Meckler, a co-founder of the tea party movement.

ST. LOUIS – The police chief Thursday unapologetically defended the fatal shooting of a black 18-year-old who was killed by two white officers in a confrontation that drew protesters and unrest back to the streets. Protesters pledged to stand firm. Said the director of a group called the Organization for Black Struggle: “We will not go away.”

Mansur Ball-Bey, who police said had a handgun, was shot as officers raided a home in a violence-plagued part of north St. Louis. Within an hour of Wednesday’s shooting, more than 100 people converged on the scene, taunting officers and decrying the use of deadly force.

A vacant building and at least one car were torched, police said. Officers responded with tear gas and arrested at least nine people on charges of impeding traffic and resisting arrest.

The scene unfolded less than two weeks after violence marred the anniversary of the day Michael Brown was fatally wounded by a white officer in nearby Ferguson. His death launched the national Black Lives Matter movement.

St. Louis Police Chief Sam Dotson said the crowd-control tactics were justified because officers were being hit with bottles and bricks and protesters refused to clear out of the roadway.

“I’d certainly much rather our officers focused in the neighborhoods, interceding

violence before it happens,” Dotson said Thursday, noting that some in the neighborhood implored police to leave them alone.

“It’s kind of ironic that we’re in that neighborhood where police services are most needed, and people are telling us not to do our jobs.”

Activists vowed to continue their efforts.

“We have a right to live in freedom and specifically free from fear,” said Montague Simmons, executive director of the Organization for Black Struggle. “This can’t go unchecked.

We’re going to stay in the street. No matter what (police) put forward, we are not going to stop.”

The latest shooting happened while officers were serving a search warrant. They

encountered Ball-Bey and another suspect running from the home, police said.

Ball-Bey turned and pointed a handgun at the officers, who shot him, authorities said. He died at the scene.

The handgun found in the dead man’s possession had one round in the chamber and 13 in the magazine, Dotson said.

Some protesters questioned the police claim that the suspect was armed. Distrust of police accounts has been common since Brown’s death.

On the night of the Brown anniversary, 18-year-old Tyrone Harris Jr. was wounded by plainclothes officers in Ferguson after he allegedly first fired at them. His father called that account “a bunch of lies” and insisted his son was unarmed.

Foods have new hues without artificial dyes

By CANDICE CHOI The Associated Press TARRYTOWN, N.Y. – Mozzarella cheese at Panera restaurants won’t be as glaringly white. Banana peppers in Subway sandwiches won’t be the same exact shade of yellow.

Trix cereal will have two fewer colors. Food makers are purging their products of artificial dyes as people increasingly eschew anything in their food they don’t feel is natural.

But replicating the vivid colors Americans expect with ingredients like beets and carrots isn’t always easy. In fact, General Mills couldn’t find good alternatives for the blue and green pieces in Trix, so the company is getting rid of those colors when the cereal is reformulated later this year.

The red pieces – which will be colored with radishes and

strawberries – also will look different.

“We haven’t been able to get that same vibrant color,” said Kate Gallager, General Mills’ cereal developer.

The shift away from artificial dyes represents the latest chapter for food coloring in the U.S., which has had a rocky history. As recently as 1950, the Food and Drug Administration said children became sick after eating an orange Halloween candy that contained a dye. The agency eventually whittled down its list of approved color additives after finding several had caused “serious adverse effects.”

Now, more companies said they are replacing artificial dyes with colors made from fruits, vegetables and spices, which are widely considered “natural,” although the FDA doesn’t classify them that way.

About 280 students are enrolled at West Discussions reveal diversity among

the top issues to address in DeKalb

• FIRST DAY

Continued from page A1 annual tradition exclusive to West, parents attend the first part of their student’s day with them, sitting in class and attending informative meetings.

“I like it because [the students] aren’t nervous,” King said. “They got their parents there, then we get to figure out what’s going on and what they do.”

With their pencils, paper and parents in tow, excited youngsters and adults crowded the playground by 8:30 a.m., waiting for instructions from Principal Kristi Crawford.

Crawford introduced herself, the faculty and this year’s school motto: “Full Steam Ahead,” which will empower students to chug ahead through a successful year. There are about 280 students enrolled at West to start the school year, Crawford said.

“We’re going to work together, like all parts of a train do, to make this a great year,” Crawford told the crowd.

This is Crawford’s first year as principal at West, and she said the event was “absolutely fabulous.” Records show that about 90 percent of parents attend First Day Celebration with their students, Crawford said.

“I was pleased to see how many parents and community people came out to welcome our students back to school,” she said. “We had staff in here working for weeks on their classrooms. People were here until 11 last night getting set up.”

After the introductions, parents and children filed through the doors and began a whirlwind early morning.

The schedule would sometimes have students and parents in separate meetings, while at other times, parents and students separated to hear about what’s in store for the school year.

Before his students-only meeting, fifth-grader Ethan Zientek said he knew how he wanted to power ahead in his last year at West before moving on to middle school.

• PLAN

Continued from page A1

Danielle Guerra – dguerra@shawmedia.com

West Elementary School kindergartner Will Moore, 5, plays blocks with his new classmates in Jolene Ward’s kindergarten class during the first day of school Thursday in Sycamore. “(I want) to start reading and do better in math,” Ethan said.

Jasmine Young, another fifth-grader, said that finally being a fifth-grader – the top dogs at the school – is “really fun because you’re going to be the role model, and it’s the start of a new year.”

“I’m really nervous and at the same time I’m really excited because I can make new friends,” Jasmine said.

As for having her parents getting up early, she said it wasn’t a big deal because, “They do it every day.”

“I’m glad to know they’re there for me,” Jasmine said, “and it’s just really fun having them with me for the first day.”

Parents were dismissed by 10:30 a.m. Julie Brannon, the mother of a fourth-grader, had previously attended a First Day Celebration when her twins, now in eighth grade, went to West School.

“The principals have changed, so that changes the feel of the school,” Brannon said, adding that the celebration is handy for those in the community. I think it’s a great way for the kids to get comfortable with being here on the first day,” she said, “and the parents feeling like they know what

curriculum their children will be learning.”

At a school board meeting this month, Superintendent Kathy Countryman shared “very fluid numbers” of attendance across the district for the start of the school year.

Elementary school enrollment is essentially flat, at 1,642 compared with last year’s 1,640. But kindergarten enrollment across the district is up from 259 to 276, resulting in a new kindergarten section added at Southeast Elementary School to meet the demand, Countryman said.

North Grove and Southeast elementary schools also are up slightly this year, according to Countryman. There also are 923 students enrolled at Sycamore Middle School.

“We’re excited,” Countryman said. “Lots of great families are here.”

Although the district saw enrollment growth, 86 West Elementary students whose families relocated after Evergreen Village Mobile Home Park was demolished are at other schools, Countryman said.

“Not very many of them relocated to West,” Countryman said, “which was sad because there were a lot of great families out there.”

“It’s not something we can put down on paper and have it not change for 10 years,” he said. “I like that is says continuously. It’s fluid.”

Council and city staff members also identified core values for the city, which were integrity, professionalism, excellence, service, collaboration and accountability.

The issue of DeKalb’s identity was key, Robinson said.

One major issue was tension between the city and Northern Illinois University.

David Jacobson, 1st Ward

alderman, said he thought a huge issue the city had to address is the mentality that students weren’t residents.

Council members largely agreed.

“We need to specifically work to integrate both sides,” Jacobson said.

Diversity is another integral issue the city needs to address. Diversity was identified as being broad and encompassing of socioeconomic status, sexual orientation and different racial and ethnic groups.

“People lauded diversity as an asset DeKalb has,” Robinson said. “But the question is how do we embrace it and

make it meaningful?”

Potential strategic goals to address diversity issues included promoting open community discussion and creating culturally sensitive policies and leadership role models.

“I’m pleased with the atmosphere and the participation here this evening,” Rey said. “I appreciate the thought and time given to the preparation of the draft document and look forward to processing this through the timeline.”

The Center for Governmental Studies will redraft the plan and City Council will have time to review it before the final adoption in October.

Cullerton: Senate Dems willing to compromise • DEMOCRATS

Continued from page A1 former federal prosecutor Andrea Zopp took advantage of the bucolic state-fair setting to announce her candidacy.

“What we’re hearing now is that there is an assault on the middle class, we have a declining middle class,” Zopp said. “That opportunity that my parents had, that enabled me to succeed, is declining, that door to opportunity is closing. That’s why I’m running for the U.S. Senate, because we have to fight that.”

Cook County Commissioner Richard Boykin and state Sen. Napolean Harris of Harvey also spoke as Senate hopefuls.

A day earlier, giddy Republicans packed the grounds to celebrate Governor’s Day, weathering the chants of hundreds of union protesters

across the street.

The demonstrators derided cuts to child care and inhome services that Rauner said he had to make to manage spending while attempting to reach a permanent, yearlong budget agreement with legislative Democrats.

But he’s angered Democrats by insisting they first adopt measures he calls his “turnaround agenda” and said will spur investment in Illinois and restore faith in politics.

Democrats said the measures Rauner labels business-friendly are anti-union.

“Democrats in the Legislature today are engaged in an epic struggle with a Republican governor,” House Speaker Michael Madigan, D-Chicago, said. “Illinois has a Republican governor who thinks that Illinois budget-making should be used and leveraged to bring down

the wage rates all across the state and bring down the standard of living of working people.”

Senate President John Cullerton, uneasy with plaudits from Rauner for a cooperative spirit while the governor demonizes Madigan, added, “The Senate Democrats are willing to compromise.”

“We are willing to work with Gov. Rauner,” the Chicago Democrat said, “but we don’t work for Gov. Rauner.”

Rauner deputy chief of staff Mike Schrimpf said Illinois homeowners pay among the nation’s highest property taxes and said “family incomes have fallen” during the decades Madigan and Cullerton have been in the Capitol.

“Gov. Rauner’s turn around agenda will freeze property taxes and create a booming economy with more, better-paying jobs,” Schrimpf said.

State shouldn’t drop enterprise zones for good

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR DeKalb’s future, part III: It takes a Village

To the Editor: It takes a Village to line the pockets of out-of-town millionaires on the backs of their residents and our community. A proposal to rezone University Village comes before the DeKalb City Council on Monday.

The purpose of the request is to support the sale of the property to another absentee owner. The purchaser has requested rezoning in case the property is destroyed so they may rebuild it to its current high density level, which the city no longer allows.

The assessed value of University Village is $1.5 million. Yet the proposed owner is offering $14 million in real cost upgrades. Why would a new owner offer this unless they are set to make millions?

The reality is the current owner has long neglected the property, yet pockets millions each year.

Resident complaints include mold in apartments, the lack of ADA accessibility and the overall living conditions. The owner has not been held accountable regarding these basic living condition violations.

Instead, these same owners, who recently sold University Plaza located across the street, are now looking to mainly cash out, yet maintain some ownership. We should not let the current owners off the hook, which was the unani-

mous decision of our Planning and Zoning Commission.

The other condition of sale is to make the property 100 percent subsidized housing. The original intent of the property was to offer a variety of apartments to both subsidized and nonsubsidized tenants.

The creation of a large, economically disadvantaged neighborhood not only segregates families with lower incomes to one particular location, it makes it impossible for a community of our size and financial means to absorb the cost of providing appropriate services to residents with higher social service needs – police, fire, health, transportation and education to name a few.

What makes any of us believe that the new owner will be more accountable than the current one, especially with the current owner remaining involved?

We, the residents of DeKalb, must hold the current owner and our city government accountable. The owners should begin all necessary improvements today, as they most certainly can afford them. Don’t believe for a moment that this sale is necessary to provide livable conditions at University Village, nor that this deal is good for DeKalb!

Just vote “No”!

Mike Verbic DeKalb

A DeKalb alderman’s University Village concerns

To the Editor: The DeKalb City Council would be foolish to go along with Security Properties’ plan to make University Village 100 percent Section 8 housing.

The new owners would have no market incentive to keep up maintenance and the complex will become a slum faster than it did this time. Thirty percent of the apartments should lease at market rate – not subsidized. This is what our city could live with.

Allowing for $7 million in soft costs on $21 million investment to cure deferred maintenance is really allowing for $3 million to $4 million to line someone’s pockets. That money should go to the city for providing social services. Security Properties’ plan to provide only $500,000 for social services is a slap in the face. If Security Properties wants to provide a police substation, they should provide $100,000 to $200,000 a year to staff it.

Otherwise, it is a bad deal for the city. Why reward the current investors for creating the poorly maintained and high-density place that those living there now have to endure? Let’s send inspectors in and fine them into submission to fix it up and maintain it properly.

That’s what the city is doing every-

where else – why does the group of 45 investors who own University Village get a free pass?

Any contractor could remodel and upgrade this for much less than what they claim, and without the phony soft costs. The Crane investment partnership appears to have milked this project for over 40 years. They are probably netting $3.5 million to $4 million in cash flow. The deferred maintenance is their responsibility. They should invest $8 million to $10 million to restore the units for the current tenants.

This was simply a business decision on their part. Obviously they are hoping the City Council will be swayed into a stupid decision allowing them to keep a windfall.

If the city plays into their game, we are foolish. It is an obvious bad deal, long term.

The developers refused to answer any of my questions at the podium because they know that by doing so, they will have to admit how much money they are making and what they really could be giving to social services. It is sad that city officials might reward investors for milking the rents instead of maintaining their properties.

What kind of message would this send to other landlords in the city?

Dave Baker, 6th Ward alderman DeKalb

Congressman Lou Stokes, warrior and friend One of my most enduring memories of former Rep. Lou Stokes is from the fall of 2008, two days before the presidential election. Lou was looking dapper in his long wool coat as he stood with friends – the Rev. Otis Moss and his wife, Edwina – waiting to greet candidate Barack Obama before he took the stage at his final rally in Cleveland.

The crowd’s excitement was palpable. We were about to elect the first black president of the United States. To my surprise, Lou was solemn and mostly silent on the eve of this historic election.

When I asked whether he was excited, he shook his head and smiled. “That word doesn’t come close to how I feel,” he said.

“It’s a day I wish my brother had lived to see.”

His younger brother, Carl Stokes, was the first black mayor of a major American city, elected in 1967. He died in 1996.

Lou died this week. He was 90.

There will be many public tributes to Lou Stokes. He will be eulogized as a great statesman, which he was. I will remember him as the best of men, a champion fighter, a steadfast friend. In my career as a journalist and in my life as the wife of a U.S. senator, I’ve met a lot of high-ranking public officials. Lou was singular in his refusal to let his title trump his humanity.

He was a gentleman – always quick with an apology to strangers who had to wait their turn to say hello and never adopting the Washington habit of looking past the

VIEWS Connie Schultz person in front of him in search of someone more important, more powerful.

For years, he would leave phone messages cheering me on when he knew one of my columns – usually about race – would elicit angry responses. “Connie, my sister,” his messages began. He always signed off with “So, you carry on.”

For years, I needled Lou to write his memoirs. His was a grand life full of lessons for all of us. He knew the giants of the civil rights movement, including Martin Luther King Jr. His stories about King – and he had many – were never cast as a boast. King’s name came up as a point of instruction.

“This is what he taught us ... how he helped us ... what he did to make us better.”

On Tuesday, shortly after I posted on Facebook a story about Lou, a reader named Mandy Anderson shared her 2013 encounter with a stranger in a CVS on Cleveland’s east side. With her permission, I am sharing it with you: “At my last nanny job, I had to take a sick 2-year-old to the pharmacy to pick up antibiotics. He was fussy and tired and not feeling well and it made the wait excruciating. Then, the older gentleman sitting next to us leaned over and in a gentle voice start-

ed talking to the baby, telling stories and making faces and playing peek-a-boo. The baby was fascinated and was smiling for the first time that day. I didn’t know who it was until they called his name, but Louis Stokes definitely made my work a little easier that day!!”

The last time I saw Lou was in March, right after President Obama’s speech to The City Club of Cleveland. In a picture I snapped that day, Lou is dressed sharp as ever in a pinstripe suit, the triangle tips of his pocket square peeking out. He and the president are clasping hands, and Lou is beaming, leaning in as he listens, oblivious to the throng around them.

When Lou spotted me aiming my camera in his direction, he waved and later made his way through the crowd to give me his usual bear hug. “I’ve been working on that book,” he whispered in my ear. “Maybe I do have a story to tell.”

Ninety years old, more than four decades of public service, friend to civil rights icons and presidents – and he was at “maybe.”

That’s what I’ll miss most about Lou Stokes.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

We might be able to hold a state fair without a budget plan, but apparently enacting incentive plans designed to grow jobs in Illinois is going too far.

That was the message from Springfield on Sunday. In a good news/bad news press release, Jim Schultz, head of the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, said DeKalb County’s proposal for an enterprise zone was among 49 that had been approved, but that the program was being put on hold “in light of Illinois’ current fiscal uncertainty.”

There’s no reason to get down about it, local leaders said, as they weren’t expecting the enterprise zone and For the record the tax incentives it offers to take effect until January.

State regulators should That would seem to be enact these 49 enterprise enough time for elected offizones and give local cials in Springfield to reach economic development some compromises, but the specialists the tools they way things are going, it’s need to market their areas hard to say. When a budget and bring more jobs to agreement finally is reached, Illinois. the zones should be enacted to give our community – and 48 others around the state – another tool in attracting business and encouraging business expansion.

Countless hours of work and coordination were needed to create this plan, which would offer tax incentives to job-creating businesses that open or expand in almost any industrial park in DeKalb County.

Illinois in general and DeKalb County in particular have great assets that should make them attractive to companies. We have excellent infrastructure, educated workers, and a central location that has long made Illinois a natural transportation hub.

But a lot of those advantages easily can be overlooked because of the ongoing hits that our state has taken to its reputation, including the ongoing issue with our lack of a state budget, as well as some other drawbacks the governor has sought to reform, such as high workers compensation rates. We need lawmakers to reach some agreement, not only on how the state will spend its money but also how it can become more business-friendly.

Once they do, state regulators should enact these 49 enterprise zones and give local economic development specialists the tools they need to market their areas and bring more jobs to Illinois.

ANOTHER VIEW

Restarting nuclear reactors a good move The meltdown in 2011 at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactor terrified people in the densely packed nation of Japan, persuaded the government to close all reactors and turned public opinion there and in many other places decidedly against the technology.

Yet last week Japan restarted a reactor at the Sendai nuclear power plant. More Japanese nuclear units could begin producing electricity again soon. This should not concern the world. It should be a relief.

If you care about climate change or air pollution, you cannot casually write off nuclear power, which produces virtually no carbon dioxide emissions while generating a tremendous amount of reliable power.

Yes, solar and wind are alternatives. But renewables are intermittent, making them harder to integrate into the power grid at large scale, and they can be expensive.

Even if those obstacles weren’t present, it would still take a lot of time to generate the astonishing amount of energy that modern countries need with mostly alternative technologies. Shutting down nuclear plants in the meantime guarantees that countries will burn more coal, oil and natural gas and therefore produce more pollution.

That’s just what happened in Japan. After the nuclear shutdown, the country’s trade deficit ballooned as it imported more coal and gas to run the world’s third-largest economy. Energy efficiency campaigns couldn’t reduce electricity demand enough to eliminate the need for fossil fuels. The country’s aversion to nuclear power, moreover, blew a hole in its plan to cut carbon dioxide emissions, which cause climate change.

Japan had planned to ramp up emissions-free nuclear power to generate half of its electricity by 2030. The plan now is to get about a fifth from nuclear by then.

Even that may be wishful thinking. The government would have to do quite a bit to meet its new nuclear target, according to Jane Nakano at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, even as the Japanese public remains worried about reactors. At the moment, it’s planning to reopen additional plants after they’ve passed a new, more rigorous regulatory process.

Reaching Japan’s new goal, which is key to reaching its carbon-emissions targets, will require older plants to be relicensed to operate beyond their original 40-year lifespans. Another option is to build new plants, some of which are already under construction, but that would be perhaps even more difficult for the public to accept.

It may be that nuclear power won’t play a leading role in energy production decades from now. But no one concerned about climate change should be willing to take it off the table. At the very least, countries should avoid closing existing plants without good reason. The right response to Fukushima is to make sure reactors meet high safety standards, not to make the fight against global warming much harder.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Bolt talks doping before world championships

BEIJING – He set world records, won Olympic gold medals, danced on the track and made the sprint game feel fun again.

One thing Usain Bolt (above) cannot do, he insists, is serve as the lone savior for track and field.

“I can’t do it by myself,” Bolt said Thursday.

Back in Beijing, where he set three world records and won three gold medals at the 2008 Olympics, The World’s Fastest Man is preparing for the world championships this time around.

But his news conference Thursday was less about reminiscing and more about the topic that has swallowed up his sport of late: Doping.

“People say I need to win for the sport,” he said. “But there are a lot of other athletes who are running clean, and they’ve been running clean their whole career. It’s not just on me but on all the athletes.”

A report this summer from German broadcaster ARD and The Sunday Times in Britain found that 146 Olympic and world championship medals in middle- and long-distance races were won by athletes who have recorded suspicious tests. The International Association of Athletics Federations has strongly denounced the report while defending its anti-doping practices.

Even while his own country, Jamaica, has come under scrutiny for its less-than-robust anti-doping program, Bolt has remained unscathed. But when he lines up in the final Sunday (assuming he makes it), his main competition figures to come from American sprinters Justin Gatlin and Tyson Gay and Jamaican teammate Asafa Powell, all of whom have served doping suspensions over their careers.

One reporter equated the race to a showdown between good (Bolt) and evil (Gatlin). Neither runner bought into that.

“I’m not trying to win any popularity contests or win anybody over,” Gatlin said in an interview with The Associated Press, shortly after Bolt’s news conference ended. “I’m trying to do what I’m supposed to do. Hopefully, my actions on the track will show that to the people who really care. That’s all that really matters.”

sports@daily-chronicle.com SHABBONA – In an early season match Thursday at Indian Oak Country Club between the Hinckley Big Rock and Indian Creek golf teams, it was a learning experience for some, and just another day at the office for others.

In the boys’ competition, the Timberwolves defeated the Royals after shooting 179

to Hinkley-Big Rock’s 252.

Indian Creek’s top finisher was Peyton Gatz, who shot 37 and Hinkley-Big Rock’s top golfer was Taylor Ruh, who shot 63.

The girl’s competition was a much different story and saw a closer score; H-BR finished with 222 and Indian Creek shot 244.

“I think I played pretty well today, but I had a few mishaps on hole six,” Gatz said. “I hit a

lot of shots on the fairway and sank a lot of putts, so I had a solid day.”

The Royals’ Erin Lyons was the girls medalist with a 45 while teammate Sophie Peters carded a 48. Katherine Nolan paced the Timberwolves with a 49.

Indian Creek coach Keith Haag was happy with what he saw in his team at IOCC. “From what I saw, we shot pretty well and my top

two girls hung in there pretty tough,” Haag said. “I also had a beginner today that just picked up a club last week and played well, all things considered, so I’m happy after today.”

In their first competition of the season, the H-BR boys struggled, but coach Kyle Donka is optimistic about the rest of the season ahead of them.

“We had a lot of mishits

and too many putts on the greens,” Donka said. “For a lot of guys, it’s their first tournament so they were nervous but the good thing is we know we can go up from here.”

The Hinkley-Big Rock teams will travel today to Somonauk. The Indian Creek boys will play at the Sandwich Golf Invite and the girls will travel to play in the Rock Falls Invite. Both are Saturday.

Looking forward Loprieno ready to make impact for NIU after long injury

By JESSE SEVERSON jseverson@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Northern Illinois redshirt freshman midfielder Delaney Loprieno is ready for her string of bad luck to finally be over.

Once a highly touted soccer prospect, Loprieno had blown out her left knee three times in three years – making this season the healthiest she’s been since her sophomore year of high school.

“Honestly, my first impression was why are you even here?” said Krista Allen, the Huskies women’s soccer trainer. “It’s a lot of work you have to go through and she went through so much in between.

A lot of athletes give up at that point.”

Loprieno and the Huskies open up the regular season at home

against Lewis University at 7 p.m. today after a strong showing in two exhibition games – winning 2-0 at Iowa State and recording a 1-1 draw against a Wisconsin Green Bay squad that beat Northern Illinois 4-0 last year.

As a sophomore at Huntley High School in 2012, Loprieno emerged as one of the top players in the area. She was an offensive MVP for a team that won the regional championship. She was named to the Fox Valley all-team after scoring 10 goals with six assists.

Then things went downhill.

During a breakaway, she was taken out from behind and suffered a torn medial patellofemoral ligament and a shattered kneecap.

Defense showing signs of life earlier than expected INDIANAPOLIS – The past two days have unearthed a strange and surprising twist in the road to the Bears’ second exhibition game Saturday night in Indianapolis.

A Bears offense that was expected to have some pop in it appears stuck in neutral with starting wideouts Alshon Jeffery and Kevin White on the sideline and question marks continuing to surround Jordan Mills at right tackle.

what the Bears got done in workouts with the Colts.

“Yeah, we started off fast,” Jennings said. “We were real pleased how we started off practice. We didn’t finish the way we wanted to finish but you know that takes some time.

“Indianapolis is a good team, especially in the two-minute drill they’re good, coming back and, like I said, we started off strong but we didn’t finish strong enough and that’s an area we can work on.”

Linebacker Pernell McPhee believes the Bears took a big step forward in Day 2 against the Colts.

SPORTS BRIEFS Pistorius’ release could may take up to 4 months

JOHANNESBURG – A review board has up to four months to decide whether and when Oscar Pistorius will be released from prison into house arrest, a spokesman for South Africa’s justice ministry said on Thursday.

Two days before he was due to leave prison, Pistorius’ early release was put on hold Wednesday by South Africa’s justice department, which sent his case back to a parole review board.

The athlete’s release was approved eight months into his five-year prison sentence, when he should have served 10 months before even being considered for release, said justice department spokesman Mthunzi Mhaga.

Closing arguments for Jordan trial today

CHICAGO – Closing arguments have been delayed a day in a federal civil trial to decide how much money Dominick’s finer Foods owes former Bulls star Michael Jordan.

Court documents filed Thursday show closing arguments will begin today.

The lawyers and judge planned to meet Thursday, when they went through jury instructions. Jurors will begin deliberating after closings are completed.

Security director found not guilty in groping case BALTIMORE – A jury on Thursday found the director of security for the Baltimore Ravens not guilty of charges that he groped a stadium worker after a game.

Darren Sanders was acquitted of second-degree assault and a fourth-degree sex offense stemming from accusations that he inappropriately touched a woman who works for a cleaning crew contracted with M&T Bank Stadium after a game in December.

The woman told jurors that Sanders appeared drunk and touched her buttocks multiple times despite her repeated requests that he stop. The Associated Press generally doesn’t identify alleged victims of sexual assault.

Sanders denied the allegations and told jurors the worker approached him and asked for his phone number, but he rebuffed her advances. Sanders said he never touched the woman.

Court rules against police in ticket scandal

ST. LOUIS – The St. Louis police department will have to turn over records from its probe into a scandal over 2006 World Series tickets now that the Missouri Supreme Court has thrown out a final appeal that sought to block the documents’ release.

The state high court’s ruling on Tuesday upholds decisions by a St. Louis judge and a state appellate court who ordered the release of records from the department’s investigation of officers who gave tickets that had been confiscated from scalpers to friends and family.

CUBS 7, BRAVES 1

Arrieta picks up 15th win, Cubs pound Braves

By ANDREW SELIGMAN The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Jake Arrieta pitched six scoreless innings for his major league-leading 15th win, and Anthony Rizzo and Addison Russell homered to lead the Chicago Cubs to a 7-1 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Thursday night.

The Cubs snapped a threegame losing streak after winning nine straight and 15 of 16, with Arrieta (15-6) dominating on the mound and Rizzo and Russell supplying the power at the plate.

Rizzo’s three-run drive capped a four-run third inning that saw Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez get ejected.

Russell singled and scored

in the third and added a solo homer in the fourth to make it 5-0. Chris Coghlan contributed an RBI single and a run-scoring triple and scored twice.

Arrieta improved to 9-1 in his past 12 starts. The righthander gave up four hits, struck out seven and walked one while lowering his ERA to 2.30.

The Cubs got back to winning after they gave up a combined 25 runs and 40 hits in a two-game sweep by Detroit.

With Pittsburgh beating San Francisco on Thursday, the Cubs trail the Pirates by four games for the top wild card and leads the Giants by four games for the second spot.

Atlanta lost for the 19th time in 27 games and remained tied

for the major league lead with 44 road losses.

Mike Foltynewicz (4-5) gave up seven runs and eight hits over 4 2-3 innings.

The Cubs grabbed a 4-0 lead in the third in a span of two pitches after Gonzalez got tossed.

The ejection – his first – came with runners on first and second and one out.

Coghlan had a 2-0 count when plate umpire Doug Eddings raised his hand twice toward the Atlanta dugout. Gonzalez came out to argue and kicked dirt on the plate.

Coghlan then singled in the game’s first run. Rizzo made it 4-0 when he drove the next pitch just inside the right-field foul pole for his 24th homer.

TRAINER’S ROOM Braves: 3B prospect Hector

Olivera (left hamstring), currently at Triple-A Gwinnett, could join the Braves as early as Monday, Gonzalez said. Olivera, acquired from the Los Angeles Dodgers last month, is expected to be the everyday third baseman once he makes his major league debut.

UP NEXT Braves: RHP Shelby Miller

(5-9, 2.43 ERA) looks to snap a 16-start winless streak. He is 0-8 despite a 3.03 ERA in that stretch.

Cubs: RHP Kyle Hendricks (6-5, 3.97) looks to rebound from his shortest outing of the season after going 3 1-3 innings against the White Sox last week.

LA Dodgers’ luxury tax payroll could top $300M

By RONALD BLUM The Associated Press NEW YORK – Chase Utley’s acquisition put the Los Angeles Dodgers close to becoming the first baseball team with a $300 million luxury-tax payroll.

The trade Wednesday that sent the six-time AllStar second baseman from Philadelphia to the NL West leaders raised the Dodgers’ projected payroll for tax purposes to about $298.5 million, according to calculations by Major League Baseball. Performance bonuses for other

players and end-of-season award bonuses could make the Dodgers the first team to reach the $300 million mark.

“That’s fine. They haven’t won the championship,” Baltimore All-Star outfielder Adam Jones said. “You still have to play between the lines – same thing with the Yankees in the ‘90s and 2000s. It’s baseball, man.

Our union is tough enough to fight for our rights and we don’t have a salary cap. Los Angeles is the second-biggest city in the United States.

They can support it. I don’t have to pay it!”

Cardinals draw on deep reservoir of talent to lead

By R.B. FALLSTROM The Associated Press ST. LOUIS – Building the best record in the major leagues is hard work.

The St. Louis Cardinals have overcome more than their share of injuries, leaning heavily on a pitching staff that always keeps them close and plugging gaps with youngsters who have risen to the moment.

Stephen Piscotty is a case in point.

The 24-year-old rookie leads the team with a .333 average since making his

major league debut July 21. On Wednesday night, he hit his second home run in a 4-3 victory over the San Francisco Giants after being robbed of a long ball by center fielder Juan Perez his first time up.

Piscotty appreciates that hitting coach John Mabry is not overloading him.

“He’s done a really good job of just kind of letting me go and play, maybe a little nugget of information that can help,” Piscotty said. “We’ve been talking about it and just kind of stacking it one little thing at a time.”

NOTRE DAME PREVIEW

Kelly joins elite group

By TOM COYNE The Associated Press

SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Brian Kelly is entering his sixth season as Notre Dame coach, just the seventh in the program’s long and storied history to make it that far.

That doesn’t mean the 53-year-old coach is feeling anywhere near settled, not with a 45-20 record at Notre Dame and the Fighting Irish not yet back among college football’s elite — their 2012 run to the national title game notwithstanding.

He is confident the Irish have more talent this year than that squad three years ago, but he isn’t quite comfortable.

“I don’t know if you ever get comfortable in the seat at Notre Dame. Comfortable wouldn’t be a word that I would use,” he said. “I think what I would probably say is that the picture is a lot clearer in the sense that I really know where our strengths and weaknesses are as a program.”

The other Irish coaches in the group are Knute Rockne (13 seasons), Frank Leahy, Ara Paresghian and Lou Holtz (11 seasons each), Elmer Layden (seven seasons) and Dan Devine (six seasons). Kelly has the lowest winning percentage of that group at .692, and he and Layden (1934-40) are the only coaches in the group without a national title.

When Kelly was introduced as Notre Dame coach, he said he didn’t have a five-year plan, he had a five-minute plan. He also said he would restore Notre Dame’s traditions.

“Those aren’t 8-4 years.

Those are national championship years,” he said at that introductory news conference.

The Irish have made one run at a national championship under Kelly, losing 42-14

Notre Dame quarterback Malik Zaire (8) heads up field during the Blue Gold game April 18 in South Bend, Ind. Zaire will be Notre Dame’s third starting quarterback in three years. to Alabama three years ago. In four other seasons under Kelly, the Irish have posted three 8-5 records and a 9-4 mark.

The Irish appeared to be on the verge of vying for a playoff berth last season at 6-0 before turnovers and injuries sent them into a tailspin, finishing 8-5. Kelly believes the difference this season is depth, saying he thinks this year’s team is deeper than the 2012 team led by linebacker Manti Te’o.

“It’s a faster team. It’s a more athletic team. We’re deeper at virtually all positions across the board, both on the offensive line and the defensive line. Maybe we don’t have singularly one superstar here or there, but the depth of the group is a whole different foot-

ball team than that group,” Kelly said.

The challenge for the Irish is to turn that depth into victories and there few breathers on the schedule: Five of Notre Dame’s first seven games are at home, but the opponents are Texas, Virginia, Georgia Tech, Clemson and Southern California.

Some other things to watch at Notre Dame this season:

Quarterback development:

Malik Zaire will be Notre Dame’s third starting quarterback in three years. The Irish are counting on Zaire, who carried the ball 22 times in his only start against LSU in the Music City Bowl, to shoulder more of the running load and to cut down on the 22 turnovers

committed by Everett Golson.

Leadership: The Irish had communication problems on defense last year, especially after linebacker Joe Schmidt broke his ankle. With the returns of Schmidt, cornerback KeiVarae Russell and linebacker Jarrett Grace, and the emergence of safety Matthias Farley and defensive lineman Sheldon Day, Kelly believes the Irish have improved.

Receiver depth: The Irish return six of their top seven receivers and expect big things from junior Torii Hunter Jr., whose career got off to a slow start as he recovered from a broken leg. The Irish also expect freshmen Equanimeous St. Brown and C.J. Sanders and tight end Alize Jones to contribute.

Secondary secured: Kelly believes the Irish have one of the better cornerback tandems in Russell, back from a one-year suspension, and Cole Luke, who had four interceptions and broke up 11 passes last season. The emergence of junior safety Max Redfield, a former five-star recruit who struggled to learn the Irish defense until late last season, also should solidify the secondary.

Showtime: Notre Dame has agreed to let Showtime air a weekly documentary-style program about the team, a sign the university expects a good season. Previous efforts haven’t gone well, however. In 2003, coming off a 10-3 season under first-year coach Tyrone Willingham, ESPN aired a weekly show as the Irish went 5-7.

ESPN was scheduled to have a week of behind-the-scenes access late in the 2001 season as the Irish were struggling to a 5-6 finish, but coach Bob Davie pulled the plug after a day because of what he described as an overly aggressive crew.

Freeman powers DeKalb to title

By DAILY CHRONICLE sports@daily-chronicle.com Austin Freeman shot a 71 to power DeKalb to first place Wednesday at the 14team Larkin Invitational.

The Barbs shot a 313 as a team, four strokes ahead of Lake Park. Freeman won the tourney, with Connor Hoyle (78) and Ben Melms (79) finishing in the top 10.

Sycamore tops Rochelle:

Behind a 39 from Martin Hurst, Sycamore topped Rochelle on Wednesday.

Trent Scott added a 42 and Josh Levy a 43 for the Spartans and first year coach Rick Davis.

“Very proud of the guys today, they really grinded out some good scores considering the conditions today.” Davis said. “It’s nice to get the first win under our belt to jumpstart our season.”

Loprieno tore MPFL again in May 2012 • SOCCER

Continued from page B1 “When I first went down, I thought it kind of hurts but I had some adrenaline because I knew we were going to get a penalty kick and then I looked down and my kneecap was in my quad,” Loprieno said.

“That’s when I screamed. It was brutal looking.”

After surgery in May 2012, she came back her junior year although she knew it didn’t feel right and in the first game, she stepped in mud and tore her MPFL again.

After surgery in June 2013, she returned her senior year and after a runof-the-mill cut in practice, she tore the knee ligament for the third time.

“I couldn’t believe it,” she said. “I thought I was the most unlucky person in the world.”

Regardless of three years of injuries, Northern Illinois coach John Ross brought her on the roster. Loprieno redshirted last season, watching and rehabbing as the Huskies finished 6-11-4 overall and 4-4-3 in the Mid-American Conference. Ross, on a recruiting trip to see the club teams in the Chicago area after Loprieno’s sophomore season, went to see a different player but was left impressed by the player who hobbled around the field.

“The first time I saw her, it was after her first injury – she had just come back – and I saw a kid that was limping around the field and was a special player limping around the field,” Ross said. “She was head and shoulders above everyone on that field and she couldn’t run.”

Loprieno, who played in the Huskies’ win over Iowa State, said her left knee feels better now than it ever has – a combination of a more serious surgery the third time around, rehab and rest. The mental side is now the challenge, and not just for her. When she collided with a player and fell to the ground in practice earlier this month, coaches and the trainer held their breath. Loprieno simply jumped back up, assuring everybody – including herself – that she was fine.

After spending three years on the sideline because some bad breaks, Loprieno is ready to play in a real match again. “[Last year] was an emotional roller coaster,” Allen said of Loprieno’s redshirt season. “I think that’s why we got so close. She had her good days and she had her bad days. She definitely wanted to be 100 percent when she came back. Usually the bad days, she was mad because she didn’t think she’d play again or she’d be mad that she was even in this situation.”

BEARS NOTES

Defense impresses in practice vs. Colts

By ARTHUR ARKUSH aarkush@chicagofootball.com

Matthew Apgar – mapgar@shawmedia.com

Indianapolis Colts’ Andrew Luck looks to pass Sunday during the first half Bears quarterback Jay Cutler passes on Aug. 8 during a Family Fest event at Soldier Field. of a preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles in Philadelphia.

QB’s Luck, Cutler follow different paths through NFL

By MICHAEL MAROT The Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS – Three years ago, Andrew Luck walked off the field in Chicago and promised to learn from a forgettable NFL debut.

The Colts rookie had just thrown three interceptions, one touchdown pass and barely completed half of his 45 throws in a 41-21 loss to the Bears.

He’s come a long way since. On Saturday, Luck will be back on his home turf ready to face the Bears again – this time as the presumed standard bearer for the next generation of NFL quarterbacks.

“I would like to think I have grown mentally, emotionally, physically. I think I have a better understanding of what it means to be an NFL quarterback,” Luck said Thursday before Indianapolis’ second practice against the Bears.

Whatever the explanation, the Colts and Bears – and their two quarterbacks – have gone in drastically different directions since the 2012 season opener.

Back then, Luck was viewed as the young gun, running an offense in rebuild

mode. Indianapolis wasn’t even supposed to be a playoff contender.

Bears fans, in contrast, viewed Jay Cutler as their long-term answer at quarterback, someone who could finally turn the Bears from a solid playoff team into a legitimate title contender.

Instead, Indy’s stability wound up paying big dividends.

Luck has led the Colts to three consecutive 11-win seasons, back-to-back division titles, an AFC championship game, and perhaps now the role of biggest threat to dethrone Super Bowl champion New England.

The secret of Luck’s success is no secret.

“Sometimes it’s hard for guys to take constructive criticism. I think Andrew takes it very well,” backup quarterback Matt Hasselbeck said. “If you tell him something, he’ll write it down, say ‘Thank you very much,’ and he works on it.”

Hasselbeck also has seen enough in his 17-year career to understand that a good, smart quarterback doesn’t win games by himself. The decline of Cutler, who played high school football in southern Indiana, is a perfect example.

While Luck enters his third season under offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton and his fourth with head coach Chuck Pagano, Cutler has played for three head coaches and five offensive coordinators since joining the Bears in 2009.

This year, Cutler’s favorite receiver, Brandon Marshall, was dealt to the Jets, and now the Bears’ projected starting receivers, Alshon Jeffery and Kevin White, are both hurt.

Jeffery missed both practices in Indy this week with a strained calf. White is expected to miss a large part of the season after undergoing surgery on his shin.

Without them, Cutler acknowledged the Colts’ starting defense outplayed the Bears’ No. 1 offense Wednesday, and it may not get much better Saturday.

“I would like to work with Alshon and Kevin, but it is what it is,” Cutler said Wednesday. “We’re shifting some guys in there, some guys are getting some work with the 2s, and some of the threes are getting work with the 2s, so it’s a good thing we’re seeing everybody right now.”

Cutler also is to blame for the Bears’ struggles.

His 44 turnovers over

the past three seasons rank fourth in the NFL, just ahead of Luck at 43, according to STATS. And while Cutler has completed a higher percentage of passes than Luck (62.9 percent to 58.6) and thrown for nearly as many yards per attempt as his counterpart (7.0 to 7.1), Luck has thrown 20 more TD passes and won 36 games, including three in the playoffs.

Cutler is 20-21 over that span and hasn’t appeared in the postseason since the Bears’ NFC championship game loss to Green Bay in January 2011.

There’s one other problem: The Bears’ once feared defense allowed the two highest point totals in franchise history in 2013 and 2014, forcing Cutler to play catch-up much of the time.

That’s not a winning recipe for any quarterback.

Meanwhile, the Colts understand they’re fortunate to have gotten Luck, who has made people forget about those bad initial impressions.

“If I had to pick one thing that’s different, I’d say his voice in the locker room,” Hasselbeck said. “He’s a lot more confident since I’ve been here. He’s always been good, but he’s really comfortable with it now.”

Belief Bears’ defense is coming on was popular against Colts • ARKUSH

Continued from page B1 “I think we had the attitude of we must come out and attack and try to win every battle on every play,” McPhee said. “All the guys had that focus, and that’s what we came out and did.”

The belief the Bears’ defense is coming on was a popular theme among media and analysts observing the two days of work against the Colts, in large part because of whom they were working against.

Indianapolis is a popular pick to win the AFC this year, mainly because of their offense.

Andrew Luck is arguably the best young quarterback in the game, free agent pickup Frank Gore is a huge addition in the backfield, and the

Up next at Indianapolis, 6:30 p.m.

Saturday, FOX, AM-780 wide receiver corps of T.Y. Hilton, Andre Johnson, Donte Moncrief, Vincent Brown and rookies Philip Dorsett and Duron Carter is among the best in the game.

But, for all but the final 10 minutes of Thursday’s practice when the clubs worked on the two-minute drill, the Bears’ defense was the more impressive unit.

On Wednesday, Jay Cutler proclaimed the Colts’ defense had won the day over his offense, so I asked Bears coach John Fox whether he felt his defense had “won the day”

Thursday.

“I thought we played well,” Fox said. “They’re very accomplished, great young quarterback, good weapons.”

The coach refused to proclaim victory, but he was clearly pleased, and Jennings held nothing back.

“I think we’re adjusting great,” Jennings said. “The guys are good in the locker room, the guys are good on the defense, the coaching staff are willing to work with us, putting guys in the right position, and I think that helps a lot, so we feel comfortable being where we’re supposed to be and we’re able to make plays.

So, good job with the coaching staff, but it’s an even better job in the locker room with the guys we have.”

It is hard to take too much out of these workouts without knowing exactly what the

Colts were trying to get done on offense, but the Bears’ front seven consistently pressured Luck and backup Matt Hasselbeck off their spots before they could throw the ball, and the coverage in the secondary was excellent.

Particularly impressive was cornerback/nickel McManis, who was once thought of as strictly a special teams ace but is having an excellent camp in the secondary.

To be clear, no one watching this Bears defense is screaming “Bring on the Packers,” Patriots or even the Colts just yet, but they do appear to be well ahead of schedule.

• Chicago Football editor Hub Arkush can be reached at harkush@ChicagoFootball. com or on Twitter @Hub_ Arkush.

INDIANAPOLIS – John Fox admitted the Bears likely weren’t as well-oiled when the starters and second-teamers practiced two-minute drills to close the day, but overall he again was pleased with the performance of his team against the Colts.

“I thought all in all it was a great couple of days of practice,” Fox said. “I thought today was another one, as well.

We’re probably not as oiled up in two-minute drill as Indy is at this stage, but all in all, I was very pleased.”

The Bears’ defense surrendered consecutive touchdowns against Indianapolis’ first and second team, respectively, in two-minute drills, and Bears quarterbacks Jay Cutler and Jimmy Clausen each turned the ball over in their two-minute chances.

But Thursday, the second of two joint practices with Indianapolis, saw defensive coordinator Vic Fangio’s secondary and pass rush jelling, with defensive backs making a number of pass breakups against a vaunted Andrew Luck-led attack, and the front seven routinely moving Colts quarterbacks off their spots.

Bears defenders raved about Luck, emphasizing the value of practicing against one of the NFL’s best quarterbacks – one who varies stylistically from Cutler.

“That’s a good offense, it’s a well-coached group, it’s a great quarterback,” cornerback Tim Jennings said. “(If) you can make some plays out here against this offense, then you’re a pretty good defense, and I think we were able to do that today. But of course in that last two-minute drill, Andrew Luck did a great job of making plays and scoring on us, so I think we can take something away where we

have to be stronger and better in that area.”

Leno replaces Mills: Second-year swing tackle Charles Leno received an extended look with the first team at right tackle. Fox said it was a byproduct of Jordan Mills departing early with a calf injury, but Leno remained with the first team for 11-on11s and individual drills even after Mills returned.

Said Fox of Leno: “He’s been working with the 2s all camp, performing well, and when Mills went out, he was the logical guy to stick there.”

Attendance report: Linebacker Jared Allen (veteran’s day), receiver Alshon Jeffery (calf), tight end Chris Pantale (illness), cornerback Tracy Porter (hamstring) and guard Jason Weaver didn’t practice.

Running back Daniel Thomas (knee) and safety Ryan Mundy were limited. Mills, linebaker Pernell McPhee (knee) and defensive tackle Brandon Dunn (quad) left early.

Quick hits: Undrafted receiver Cameron Meredith continued to stand out with the second team, hooking up on several quick-hitters from Clausen. … Cutler was picked off in the two-minute drill by safety Dwight Lowery after being intercepted earlier at the goal line by linebacker D’Qwell Jackson on a pass intended for Martellus Bennett. … Running back Senorise Perry caught a touchdown from Shane Carden on a wheel route. … Kyle Fuller surrendered the first two-minute drill touchdown, to T.Y. Hilton. … Linebacker Christian Jones had two pass breakups in individual drills but also permitted two completions to Colts tight end Eric Swope. …

Joliet Catholic graduate and Colts tight end Coby Fleener limped off a little more than halfway through practice with what appeared to be an ankle sprain.

GREEN BAY PACKERS

Titletown District unveiled The ASSOCIATED PRESS ASHWAUBENON, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers unveiled plans Thursday for a four-star hotel, brewery and restaurant, sports medicine facility and a 10-acre public plaza on team property west of Lambeau Field dubbed the Titletown District.

The three anchor tenants will be the 150-room Lodge Kohler hotel, run by the plumbing-and-hospitality

company Kohler Co., Hinterland brewery, and Bellin Health, a major Packers sponsor. Packers officials said at a news conference that they hand-picked the three tenants. Each is a premium Wisconsin name, said Ed Policy, the team’s vice president and general counsel.

“It was important to us that they commit to use Titletown as a major growth platform,” Policy said.

Providing individualized plans for weight loss SPONSORED BY

For a weight loss plan to be successful, Dr. Morgan Sheedy of Sycamore Integrated Health believes it should be tailored to her patient’s lifestyle.

“Our focus on patients who need a weight loss plan is meeting their goals and expectations,” Sheedy said.

“The first step is a consultation with one our weight loss consultants where we get to know a little bit about the patient, his or her lifestyle and goals.”

From that point on, a treatment plan is customized for the individual. That plan – crafted with the help of a medical doctor and nutritionist - may include any or all of the services available at Sycamore Integrated Health.

“We can do everything from coaching the patient through healthy lifestyles to more of a medical supervision, and most commonly, it’s a mixture of the two approaches,” Sheedy said.

Phase one is often geared to losing weight with ser-

vices like meal replacement plans, appetite suppressants, fat-burning injections, metabolism-boosting injections, exercise plans and nutritional coaching. Phase two is more of a maintenance plan to keep off the weight lost.

Sheedy said extra weight on the body is more than an aesthetic issue, it’s a matter of health.

“Being overweight is one of the worst stressors on a body,” she said. “It shortens your lifespan, accelerates the disease process, puts extra pressure on your organs and joints, and is detrimental to your overall health.

“Obesity is one of the biggest problems we have in our society and, from a healthcare standpoint, we can make a difference in our community by helping patients lose weight and become healthier overall,” Sheedy said.

6 ADVICE & PUZZLES • Friday, August 21, 2015 • Section B • Daily Chronicle / Daily-Chronicle.com

Man suffers sense of loss after returning dog he found Dear Abby: A man I work with found a dog on his way to the office. He picked it up, took it home and was immediately talking about what a good playmate the dog would make. He said he tried to call the local animal shelter, but was put on hold twice, so he gave up.

I felt he should have made more of an attempt to find the owner before claiming it as his own. I immediately posted a free “found dog” ad online and, three weeks later, received a message.

It turned out the dog belonged to a 72-year-old woman who lives alone. One day she discovered her back door open and her dog missing. I put my co-worker in touch with the lady and said I’d leave it to him to do what he felt was

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips best. After confirming the dog was indeed hers, he reluctantly returned it to her.

He is now telling everyone he’s very sad at his loss and that it was “almost as hard as having a dog put to sleep.”

He’s receiving major sympathy from some of our co-workers who seem to be upset with me for posting the found dog ad. Am I wrong to think this small effort should have been expected in this situation, and what I did was the right thing? – Did The Right Thing

In Texas Dear Did: I don’t think you did anything wrong, and I’m

100 percent positive the dog’s owner would agree with me.

She probably was worried sick, wondering if her beloved companion was lying injured or dead in a ditch somewhere.

While I appreciate your co-worker feeling a sense of loss at having to return the dog, he should be comforted in the knowledge that it’s in a home where it is loved and cared for. And that is not comparable to having to have one euthanized. However, because he is grieving, suggest he ask the owner for visitation. Out of gratitude, she may agree.

Dear Abby: I have been with my partner, “Pat,” for 10 years. For personal reasons, we have chosen not to get married. I call him my part-

ner because, for the majority of our 10 years together, we have lived together. We share multiple financial commitments, and he is truly my partner in life.

My problem is, when I refer to Pat as my partner, people immediately ask me if I’m gay. I’m less worried about people thinking I might be a lesbian, but more that people might think Pat is a woman.

Even his family members have remarked when I refer to him as my partner.

I know our friends and family respect our choice to not be married, but I’m not sure what to call him other than my partner. I feel “boyfriend” is too casual for our level of commitment. I don’t have a problem calling Pat my partner. I do have a prob-

lem with all the unnecessary confusion that follows.

What should I call the man I am committed to and who is equally committed to me, when we have chosen to take the “no ring” route together?

– Not Single In St. Louis Dear Not Single: You could

use “better half,” but I think the word “partner” describes your relationship very well.

If someone asks if you are gay or if Pat is a woman, don’t be defensive – just say no. Giving more information to someone who isn’t close enough to you to already be aware of your situation is oversharing.

Second-generation antihistamines can relieve sinus headache Dear Dr. K: I’ve had terrible allergies this year, and they have caused repeated, severe sinus headaches. What’s the best way to treat sinus headaches?

Dear Reader: The sinuses are air-filled spaces above, between and beneath your eyes, flanking your nose. Both the nose and sinuses are lined with a thin membrane that swells and produces mucus in response to irritation.

Normally, the mucus from the sinuses drains through small openings, known as ostia, into the nose. The stuff you blow out when your nose is congested usually is mucus produced by the membranes in your sinuses and in your nose.

Any condition that causes the nose or sinus membranes to become swollen can narrow or completely block the

ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff ostia. This results in a sinus headache. (I’ve put an illustration of this on my website, www.askdoctork.com.)

Sinus headaches can occur in three situations: • when the membranes become inflamed; • when fluid builds up in the sinuses and can’t drain out through the nose; • when pressure in the sinuses is lower than the environmental air pressure.

Allergies are a major sinus irritant. Viral infections or exposure to secondhand smoke, perfume or other inhaled chemicals also can cause a sinus headache.

Whatever the cause, sinus

headache pain most often is felt in the center of the face, the bridge of the nose and the cheeks.

People with allergies are especially susceptible to sinus headaches. To treat your sinus headache, start with an over-the-counter antihistamine. Histamine is a substance released during an allergic reaction. It causes swelling of the mucous membranes and mucus production. Antihistamines block the action of histamine.

Some antihistamines (OTC and prescription) have bothersome side effects.

They can make you drowsy, slow your reaction time and impair your judgment. Older, first-generation antihistamines are more likely to cause such effects.

Newer, second-generation

antihistamines have fewer side effects. They are less likely to cause drowsiness and nasal dryness than the older ones, but still can cause these symptoms in some people.

These non-sedating medicines include loratadine (Claritin, others) and fexofenadine (Allegra). They are available over the counter. Desloratadine (Clarinex) and azelastine (Astelin nasal spray) are available by prescription.

Corticosteroid nasal sprays reduce swelling and mucus in the nasal passageway. They also relieve nasal symptoms. These sprays require a doctor’s prescription.

Guaifenesin is another ingredient to look for. It thins the mucus so that it drains more easily. (Mucinex is especially effective.)

Decongestants also reduce

swelling and open up the nasal and sinus passages. Also, a steam bath sometimes can do the trick.

Sometimes sinus inflammation and congestion can trigger migraine headaches in people prone to getting them. There are several distinctive features of many migraine headaches. Often they begin on one side of the head; are located behind the eye or in the temple; are pounding or throbbing, rather than steady; are accompanied by nausea; are accompanied by changes in vision (blurring, black spots, flashes of light).

Different medicines are needed to prevent migraines.

TODAY – Schemes and shortcuts will be counterproductive this year. Be clear about what you want and how you plan to get it. You will end up losing ground if you aren’t practical and precise. Stick to the truth, and be realistic.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – If you are unclear about what is expected of you, be sure to ask questions. Making assumptions or jumping to conclusions will not lead you to success. Focus on details and getting things done.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Stop hiding on the sidelines. You bring a lot to the table, but until others are aware of it, you won’t make any headway. Present what you have to offer.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – You will regret it if you allow someone else to make financial decisions for you. Don’t leave anything to chance. Do some in-depth research and make your choices accordingly.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Don’t be afraid to say no. You have been doing so much for others that your own tasks have fallen by the wayside. Focus on what brings you the most satisfaction.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Communication difficulties can be expected. Be prepared to go over every detail with precision to ensure that nothing has been missed or forgotten.

Protect your assets and possessions.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – This is not a good time to lend or borrow money or possessions. Make special plans that will bring you closer to someone you love. Put your romantic notions in motion for a memorable night.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Your life is too important to be weighed down with demanding or burdensome individuals. It’s time to free yourself from situations that require you to give your all and give you nothing in return.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Take note of what is going on around you. Ask others for their opinions. The more enlightened and aware you are, the easier it will be to move forward.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Show others how much you love them through your actions rather than words. Practice patience, compassion and mindfulness in order to be appreciated and respected.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Don’t take chances while driving or operating equipment. There is only so much you can do in a day, so be content with slow and steady progress. Being hasty or taking shortcuts will cause problems.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Don’t pass on an opportunity to travel. Things appear to be stagnating, making it necessary to keep your mind sharp by participating in interesting discussions with challenging individuals.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Nothing remains the same for long. Rather than fight change, embrace it. Be the first to step forward and take on new challenges. You can’t win if you don’t compete.

Dr. Wallace: Cindy is my best friend. I moved to Oakland a year ago, and she and I hit it off really well. We are both 14 years old. Sometimes, when I go over to her house, her older brother is there. He’s 18 and lives in an apartment with two other guys.

My problem is whenever Cindy leaves the room, her brother says bad things to me. I always tell him to stop, but he keeps on doing it.

This really upsets me, but I don’t want to tell Cindy

Sue, Oakland, California Sue: Cindy’s brother is a

scary, troubled guy. If he is in the house when you go to visit, don’t go in. If he arrives after you are in the house, leave immediately.

I think you should tell Cindy what her brother says to you when she’s not around. If she is the friend you think she is, she’ll do what she can to nip this problem in the bud.

CROSSWORD

Do they give the game away?

Paul Newman, who won an Oscar for “The Color of Money,” said, “If you’re playing in a poker game and you look around the table and can’t tell who the sucker is, it’s you.”

Poker players need to “read” their opponents, judging what they hold from their bets and their body language. Bridge experts also read their opponents, during the bidding and play.

As an example, in today’s deal, how should South play in three no-trump? West leads the club king. South ducks the first two clubs and takes the third. East follows twice, then discards a low diamond.

North was not expecting his partner to have any problems, but the duplication of values in the red suits has left South with only seven top winners: three hearts, three diamonds and one club. He must take two spade tricks. How should declarer try to accomplish that?

The right start is low to dummy’s queen. If East wins with the ace, South should play a spade to dummy’s 10 on the second round. But if the spade queen wins, declarer returns to his hand in a red suit and leads another spade. If West plays low again, South must hope that he can read his opponents.

If East fumbled on the first round of the suit, declarer should finesse dummy’s 10.

East would hesitate only with the ace. Or, if West paused momentarily on either round, South should put up dummy’s king. Similarly, without the ace, West would have had no reason to waver.

If both played low smoothly, declarer must guess – good luck.

All right, I would tend to finesse the 10 because East had to find only one good play; West would have had to make two.

along the Lincoln Highway stretch.

Instead, according to the association, it could bring more tourism.

The idea to establish Lincoln Highway as a memorial came from two pioneers in the automotive industry: Carl G. Fisher and Henry B. Joy. Fisher, of Indianapolis 500 fame, and Joy, former president of the Packard Motor Company, helped to set up the driving routes along Lincoln Highway. Lincoln had worked as a lawyer for Joy’s father.

“Lincoln himself was a traveler.

In his early days as a lawyer, he traveled the judicial circuit. So, he would go from town to town, from court to court, working on cases,” said Shelton.

The online petition to date has 316 signatures. The number is still shy of the 500 it seeks. To sign the petition, visit change.org and search the word “Lincoln.”

“It would be wonderful if the road could gain official recognition as a National Monument to Abraham Lincoln, which is very similar to its unofficial dedication to his memory.”

The association has said that having the designation wouldn’t uproot properties in the towns

The Kishwaukee College Horticulture department will host a Garden Open House for the public to view this year’s gardens from 1 to 3 p.m. Aug. 27.

Staff will be available to answer questions about the various plants and design. Light refreshments will be available. The open house is free and open to the public.

“Many of our displays are in full bloom right now so we wanted to give the public an opportunity to come to campus and enjoy a walk through our gardens,” B.J. Miller, greenhouse/garden technician at the college, said in a news release.

Kishwaukee College’s 120-acre campus has several unique displays. The greenhouse staff design, grow, install and maintain the display and instructional gardens on the campus.

The staff will be highlighting their All-America Selections Display Garden.

As an A.A.S. Display site, Miller plants varieties with the A.A.S. designation, which is determined by rigorous criteria in the trial phase and chosen based on the plant’s exceptional characteristics.

Kishwaukee College’s 2015 A.A.S. Garden design is being entered into the annual A.A.S. Display Garden Design Contest under the theme of “Garden Geometry.”

“This year, our A.A.S. Gardens were

Photos of the design will be submitted to A.A.S in September for entry into the contest.

In addition to the A.A.S. Gardens, the campus has a vegetable garden planted and maintained by students in HOR 201,

Lesly Wicks (left), executive director of Hope Haven Homeless Shelter, was honored by the DeKalb Township Board of Trustees for her 20 years of service and leadership. Caroline Lowery (right), chairwoman of the Hope Haven Board, presented Wicks with the award at the August board meeting.

Lesly Wicks, executive director of Hope Haven Homeless Shelter, was recently honored with a proclamation from the DeKalb Township Board of Trustees for her 20 years of service and leadership.

Caroline Lowery, chairwoman of the Hope Haven Board, presented Wicks with the award at the August board meeting.

Hope Haven provides meals, shelter, skill and employment training, counseling and many other services to homeless individuals and families in DeKalb County.

Wicks has led the organi-

zation from its early days as a small nightly shelter facility to one of the most successful and respected homeless shelters in the state of Illinois.

“DeKalb County is fortunate to have someone with Lesly’s skills, dedication, and commitment to those who are homeless,” Lowery said when she presented the award on behalf of DeKalb Township. “The Hope Haven Board of Directors are grateful for her service to Hope Haven and to the county.”

Eric Johnson, DeKalb Township supervisor, authored the proclamation and asked Lowery to present it.

Woodbury Elementary School in Sandwich has lots of gardens growing – cucumbers, peppers, cabbage, sunflowers and lots of flowers the children donated and planted with Mr. Lawrence’s help.

The Early Childhood Center at Kishwaukee College received a $2,300 grant from the DeKalb County Community Foundation that will be used to replace cots and sheets at the ECC. The ECC provides early care and education for children ages 2 to 5 in its two spacious classrooms and an outdoor learning environment. Kevin McArtor, board member of the DCCF, visited the ECC to give the donation. Pictured are Steve Kimmel, director of the ECC, and McArtor with several of the ECC’s young members who are excited about receiving new cots and sheets.

DeKalb Interfaith Network for Peace and Justice recently honored Stanley Campbell, director of Rockford Urban Ministries, with its annual Peace Award.

Campbell is a Vietnam veteran, having served in the U.S. Army where he turned against the war, and marched with veterans upon his return. Campbell has visited Japanese peace groups in Nagasaki and Hiroshima and hosted survivors of the atomic bombings.

As a Vietnam veteran, he came to DeKalb in 1974 to hear

Daniel Elsberg talk against war, where he met Dr. Axel and Cele Meyer, founders of the DeKalb Interfaith Network for Peace and Justice, and other peace leaders here. He then organized the Sinisippi Alliance against the Byron nuclear plant.

In the ensuing years, Campbell has been a peace and social activist on such issues as El Salvador and Nicaragua, as well as Cuba.

Recently, he celebrated 30 years as a peace activist serving Rockford and surrounding communities.
