Team competes after coach’s arrest D-428 leader: Support, continuity sought for DeKalb-Sycamore co-op swimmers

By JILLIAN DUCHNOWSKI jduchnowski@shawmedia.com DeKALB – All 24 girls on the DeKalb-Sycamore coop swim team raised their hands when DeKalb School District 428 Superintendent Doug Moeller asked who still wanted to compete after their coach’s arrest.

The DeKalb-Sycamore coop swim team competed in a

dual meet in Elgin on Thursday afternoon, a day after head coach Leah Eames, 32, of DeKalb, posted $7,500 bail on charges alleging she Leah had inapproEames priate sexual contact with one of the swimmers. Police and school ad-

the head coaching role and Dirk Happ, a District 428 employee who has coached swimming at the YMCA, is providing extra help. Both are filling those roles on a temporary basis while district leaders search for a permanent replacement, school administrators said. Eames started as an assistant coach for the coop team in 2006, and became head coach around 2009, Mo-

ministrators are planning a similar meeting today with the boys swim team, which competes in the winter season.

“The message we wanted to convey is that we are here to support you emotionally, socially, and we want to maintain the continuity of the program,” Moeller said.

Erin Shore, the team’s assistant coach, stepped into

Eames was charged with criminal sexual assault and aggravated criminal sexual abuse for allegedly having sexual contact with a teenage girl between June 1 and Tuesday, court records show.

NOVOAZOVSK, Ukraine – Ukraine accused Russia on Thursday of entering its territory with tanks, artillery and troops, and Western powers said Moscow had “outright lied” about its role and dangerously escalated the conflict.

Russia dismissed the allegations, describing the fighters there as “Russian volunteers.” The Kremlin has repeatedly denied arming and supporting the separatists who have been fighting Ukrainian troops for four months in the gravest crisis between Russia and the West since the end of the Cold War. NATO said at least 1,000 Russian troops are in Ukraine and later released what it said were satellite photos of Russian self-propelled artillery units moving last week.

Two columns of tanks and other equipment entered southeastern Ukraine at midday, following heavy shelling of the area from Russia that forced overmatched Ukrainian border guards to flee, said Col. Andriy Lysenko, a spokesman for Ukraine’s national security council.

“Russian forces have entered Ukraine,” President Petro Poroshenko said in Kiev, canceling a foreign trip and calling an emergency meeting of his security council.

He urged Ukrainians to remain calm.

“Destabilization of the situation and panic, this is as much of a weapon of the enemy as tanks,” Poroshenko told the council.

U.S. President Barack Obama spoke with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, and both leaders agreed Russia must face consequences for its actions.

“We agree – if there was ever any doubt – that Russia is responsible for the violence in eastern Ukraine,” Obama said. “The violence is encouraged by Russia. The separatists are trained by Russia, they are armed by Russia, they are funded by Russia.”

He added that Russia “has deliberately and repeatedly violated the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, and the new images of Russian forces inside Ukraine make that plain for the world to see.”

The 2014 Northern Illinois University football team takes the field Thursday during their home opener against Presbyterian in their new Corn Fest-themed jerseys. Festival organizers chose the Canaday family as a beneficiary of the first Northern Illinois University football jersey auction, an effort to raise money by selling the Corn Fest-themed jerseys worn by the Huskies during their opening game.

DeKALB – Mark Canaday has been overwhelmed by the support his family has received from the community, but he had no idea it would amount to recognition during Corn Fest weekend.

Canaday has been battling esophageal cancer, while his son, Christopher, was born with pulmonary atresia and has had 33 surgeries in his 13 years. The family deals with many medical expenses and related costs, and with two other children, things can be tough for Mark and his wife, Amy. “Going to and from medical procedures, it’s constant,” Mark Canaday said. “It’s not uncommon for us to go in and

Teaching today’s students to succeed Beloit College in Wisconsin produces a fascinating annual study. “The Beloit College Mindset List,” which now garners global attention, is a look at how incoming college freshmen interpret the world.

It provides “a look at the cultural touchstones and experiences that have shaped the worldview of students entering colleges and universities in the fall.”

The list began humbly: it was created to remind faculty to be wary of outdated popular/historical references. Anyway, the freshmen who just began college were born in 1996.

Sample these data and see if they make your lumbago flare up. Today’s freshmen …

• have long been able to get immediate approval through Facebook “likes” • think Harry Potter when they see wire-rimmed glasses, not John Lennon • think “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” has always been the only news program that really “gets it right” (I’m mostly convinced they’re correct about this) • were upset by repeated images of planes crashing into the World Trade Center in their first few weeks of kindergarten • have always seen hard liquor advertised on TV. This fall, I’m teaching “UNIV 101,” an optional, one-hour credit course for freshmen at Northern Illinois Uni-

THE FINE LINE Jason Akst versity. In some ways, UNIV 101 is exactly what it sounds like. It’s designed to give freshmen the best chance of success at college.

I hear you saying, “In my day, we just ...”. Indeed, much “old school” advice holds true. Study hard, sleep, eat nutritiously, manage time wisely, exercise, make friends, join a club, party in moderation … these are truisms as relevant today as when “Animal House” seemed more like a documentary than a comedy.

But UNIV 101 in 2014 kicks it up a notch. The class helps students navigate the technological portals critical to sending and receiving course material.

It emphasizes strengthening oral and written communication. It focuses on decision making, critical thinking and problem solving. Part of it is about helping students learn to thrive in a diverse but shrinking world. Most NIU students (some say about 80 percent) grow up within a two-hour radius of DeKalb, but that two hour-circle encompasses the full spectrum of urban and rural settings.

I think UNIV 101 will be useful for most students, and I would encourage parents of future freshmen to encourage

their children to take it or something like it.

I’ve met my freshmen a couple of times. They seem like good kids. They’re quiet, reserved, and are hesitant to speak up in class, even when called upon. It’s too early to tell how academically prepared they are for college.

Confession time: Much of my interest in this class is personal. When I was a college freshman, I was the epitome of everything not to do. I blew off class. I partied hard. I did assignments at the last minute. I was isolated. I didn’t have many friends. I didn’t ask for help.

I finally pulled my head out and finished college (a different college) in good academic shape in 1985. I began a career, and a few years later, I went to graduate school and did well there.

But I paid the price for my earlier screwups, academically, personally, financially and professionally. Some of the damage remains. I have frequent anxiety dreams about messing up a class, flunking out and failing at life. I’ve been having those dreams nearly 30 years.

I would spare my students that fate.

Obama tamps down prospect of Syria strikes

Vol. 136 No. 207

facebook.com/ dailychronicle

By JULIE PACE @dailychronicle

The Associated Press WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama tamped down the prospect of imminent U.S. military action in Syria on Thursday, saying “we don’t have a strategy yet” for degrading the violent militant group seeking to establish a caliphate in the Middle East.

The president spoke shortly before convening a meeting of his national security advisers on a range of Pentagon options for confronting the Islamic State group. However, officials said Obama was not expected to emerge from the meeting with a decision on which avenue to pursue.

The U.S. is already striking Islamic State targets in Iraq, and officials have said the president is considering similar action in neighboring Syria. The militants have moved with ease between the two countries, effectively blurring the border.

But Obama, who has long been reluctant to plunge the U.S. military into Syria, said confronting the Islamic State would require more than just American action. He called for a regional strategy that could bring in other nations and focus on political as well as military options.

In blunt terms, the president said it was time for Middle Eastern nations to “stop being ambivalent” about the aims of extremist groups like the Islamic State.

“They have no ideology beyond violence and chaos and the slaughter of innocent people,” Obama said, alluding to the group’s announcement last week that it had killed American journalist James Foley. The militants also have threat-

President Barack Obama speaks on the economy, Iraq and Ukraine on Thursday in the James Brady Press Briefing Room of the White House in Washington, before convening a meeting with his national security team on the militant threat in Syria and Iraq. ened to kill other U.S. hostages in Syria.

The president said he was dispatching Secretary of State John Kerry to the Middle East soon to discuss the matter with regional partners. Obama will also meet with world leaders in Europe next week during a NATO summit.

The heightened threat from the Islamic State comes at a time of instability elsewhere in the world that has challenged Obama’s desire to keep the U.S. out of military conflicts. Russia has escalated its threatening moves in Ukraine, with Ukrainian officials accusing Russia on

Thursday of entering its territory with tanks, artillery and troops.

Despite the increased tensions, Obama ruled out any military options in Ukraine and proposed no shift in an American-led strategy that has yet to convince Moscow to halt operations against its far weaker neighbor.

In outlining his strategy for confronting the Islamic State, the president said his top priority remains rolling back the militants’ gains in Iraq, where he has said they pose a threat to U.S. personnel in Erbil and Baghdad.

Governor hopefuls rip each other on hiring, taxes

By SARA BURNETT The Associated Press CHICAGO – The candidates for Illinois governor sharpened their attacks on each other Thursday, with Gov. Pat Quinn saying Bruce Rauner’s plan to tax some services will help wealthy people like Rauner but hurt hardworking families, and the Republican businessman calling Quinn’s efforts to address improper political hiring “a charade.”

Quinn and Rauner separately addressed a Metropolitan Planning Council forum in Chicago, one of roughly a half dozen joint appearances scheduled before the Nov. 4 election.

While the Labor Day week-

end typically marks the start of election season, the bitterly contested race already is well underway.

Quinn paints the multimillionaire Rauner as out-oftouch with the middle class and says he got rich – and bought nine “mansions” – by putting profit ahead of people.

Rauner has tried to chip away at Quinn’s portrayal of himself as a reformer, saying the Chicago Democrat has continued the cronyism and corrupt practices of his predecessor, now-imprisoned former Gov. Rod Blagojevich.

Rauner hit on that theme again Thursday, saying dozens of people who were improperly hired by the Illinois Department of Transporta-

tion because of their political connections are still working for the state.

Last week, an Office of the Executive Inspector General review concluded more than 250 IDOT “staff assistants” got jobs in the past decade based on clout, when the positions should have been publicly available to any candidate and filled based on qualifications. Quinn’s administration announced last week it was laying off 58 people who still held those jobs.

But they didn’t get rid of others who have moved into other positions still on the state payroll.

Those include two former employees of ex-U.S. Rep. Philip Hare, a Democrat.

The workers were hired by IDOT as staff assistants in 2010. Rather than follow typical state hiring procedures, IDOT gave them jobs using an exemption that is supposed to be used only when the job involves policymaking or confidential information. Their jobs involved planting trees and implementing training classes, the review found.

Quinn said his administration “acted promptly” to address problems at the department, including putting in a new transportation secretary who is conducting a full analysis of all positions. He wouldn’t answer a question about why some of the improper hires still have state jobs.

lights, fishing gear, a fishing license not in his name, and multiple knives and hatchets, court records show. Police matched the items to their owners, who all reported their cars were broken into that night, according to court records.

Sycamore police also recovered numerous items for which no owner has yet been identified, according to a news release. Police ask anyone who

has additional information or is missing items from a vehicle to contact the Sycamore Police Department at 815-8953435.Decoster also is accused of breaking into a Sycamore couple’s garage. He used a remote to access the closed garage door, then broke into a car inside to steal a GPS unit, police said.

One vehicle Decoster is accused of burglarizing is an In-

ternational flatbed tow truck belonging to Accurate Towing, 531 E. Sycamore St., Sycamore.

Accurate Towing’s owner told police his car also was broken into and had a damaged seat, although nothing was stolen, court records show.

Decoster told police he was drunk and did not remember what happened, authorities said. He was charged with five counts of burglary and

one count each of residential burglary, criminal damage to property and underage possession of alcohol.

The most serious charge, residential burglary, is punishable by between four and 15 years in prison; probation would not be an option.

Decoster remained in jail Thursday, unable to post 10 percent of his $75,000 bond. He is next due in court Sept. 5.

Checks can be made payable to the Civil War Monument Restoration Fund and sent to DeKalb County Community Foundation, 475 DeKalb Ave., Sycamore, IL 60178.

SYCAMORE – Michael Kraus was pleasantly surprised to see the state of the DeKalb County Civil War monument, although he still has work ahead of him.

Kraus was commissioned by the local Sons of the Union Veterans of the Civil War group to restore the monument on the courthouse lawn, which features three soldiers but is missing a sword and a musket, both of which disappeared years ago. The statue was erected in 1896.

Kraus, creator and preserver of many monuments across the country, has an interest in the Civil War which also drives his passion in his work.

He was featured at a meet the artist event Thursday at the Sycamore Depot, 475 DeKalb Ave., to help raise funds for the project. It also gave Kraus a chance to see the monument he will create pieces for, since he is from Pittsburgh. It is anticipated that the pieces will be completed by spring.

Artist Michael Kraus (center) talks with attendees of a meet the artist event Thursday at the Sycamore Depot. The event was held to inform the community about the Civil War monument restoration efforts as well as raise funds for the project.

“I love these projects,” Kraus said. “They are so important to small towns and their heritage. It’s a sacred thing to be involved in and I think preserving it is a good mission to have.”

Kraus was intrigued by the misspelling of Antietam on the monument. However, it’s not something that will be fixed, as he will only create a new sword and musket.

SYCAMORE – An Oswego man will not be allowed to have unsupervised contact with any children, including his own, after admitting Thursday to Kevin L. sexually abus- Hunter ing a minor in Cortland, officials said.

Kevin L. Hunter, 23, of the 2200 block of Route 31, pleaded guilty Thursday to aggravated criminal sexual abuse and unlawful delivery of a controlled substance. He was sentenced to four years of probation.

Hunter was accused of sexually assaulting a child between the ages of 13 and 17 four times in December while he was staying with the victim’s family in Cortland, authorities said. In a

separate case, he also was accused of selling less than a gram of cocaine to a confidential DeKalb police source in September, court records show.

More serious charges of aggravated criminal sexual assault and unlawful delivery of a controlled substance within 1,000 feet of Prairie Park were dropped as part of the plea deal. DeKalb County Assistant State’s Attorney Phil Montgomery said Hunter’s lack of criminal history was a reason he was sentenced to probation.

Medical professionals performed a sex offender evaluation on Hunter and determined he would have a moderate to low risk of re-offending, said Presiding Judge Robbin Stuckert. They recommended he be sentenced to probation, Stuckert said.

Hunter is required to register as a sex offender for life.

that before,” Kraus said. “But it doesn’t surprise me. Once it’s etched in stone, it’s there forever.”

James Locke Lyon, commander of Illinois’ Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, said about $6,500 has been raised to restore the monument – the group’s goal is $10,000. However, he said the efforts to raise money will not slow down. The group also works to preserve grave-

stones for Civil War veterans throughout the state, which is a goal they’d like to tackle with any extra funds.

“If we exceed the goal, that money will go to other projects,” Lyon said. “We have many more things we’d like to do.”

Lyon said he hopes to unveil the restored monument sometime next summer. He said with the 150th anniversary of the end of the Civil War next spring, it may be difficult to schedule re-enactors, presenters and other groups for a spring celebration.

“I’m very honored to be a part of this project,” Kraus said. “I’m the right guy for the job, because I look at this as not just a job. I look at it as a piece of history.”

8LOCAL BRIEF

Woman accused of harming infant arraigned SYCAMORE – Christina Timm smiled at her husband when she entered the courtroom Thursday on allegations she broke her infant daughter’s arm.

Timm, 30, of the 300 block of Gurler Street, DeKalb, formally pleaded not guilty Thursday to charges Christina A. Timm of aggravated battery to a child under 13 years old and aggravated domestic battery. If convicted of the first charge, she could face between six to 30 years in prison and would be required to register

as a violent offender against youth, said Presiding Judge Robbin Stuckert.

When she entered the courtroom, Adam Timm, 28, of the 300 block of Gurler Road, DeKalb, mouthed words to her such as, “Call me.”

Adam Timm was in court to provide an update on court payments he was making in his own criminal case. He was sentenced to four years of probation, after he pleaded guilty Dec. 3 to aggravated criminal sexual abuse.

The victim in his case is not the same victim as in Christina Timm’s case, court records show.

Christina Timm is accused of breaking two bones in the arm of

her daughter, who is less than a year old, in July. She is next due in court Sept. 18.

ComEd to clear vegetation near power lines today DeKALB – ComEd contractors will be clearing vegetation today near high voltage lines between First Street and Bethany Road.

The area is near the DeKalb Nature Trail but does not affect the Nature Trail, ComEd spokesman Paul Callighan said.

Next week, crews will start replacing the poles supporting the power lines.

Eames next due in court Sept. 17 • COACH Continued from page A1 when a police officer checking the Barb City YMCA, 1515 S. Fourth St. in DeKalb, after hours found Eames working out with a student, Redel said. Eames had access to the YMCA because of her position

as the swim coach.

The late hour seemed curious to the officer, so police examined surveillance video from the time the two were there and saw them holding hands after the workout, Redel said.

Using the surveillance tape, police said detectives were able to identify and in-

terview the student, and later discovered that Eames and the student had an ongoing sexual relationship.

Eames is next due in court Sept. 17. If convicted of the more serious charge, criminal sexual assault, she could be sentenced to up to 15 years in prison; probation would not be an option.

Organizers hope for good weather • CORN FEST Continued from page A1 help the community while showcasing town-gown relations, said chairwoman Lisa Angel, who also is the marketing development manager at the Daily Chronicle. The three-day Corn Fest opens today in downtown DeKalb, with hours from 3 to 11 p.m. today, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday.

The auction, which is open online now through 10 p.m.

Sept. 5, also will benefit local Boy Scout Troop 33 and Voluntary Action Center.

Chad McNett, committee chairman for Boy Scout Troop 33, said the group was surprised when they were selected by festival organizers to receive funds from the auction.

“It was kind of a mix, we were happy but very surprised,” McNett said. “Comparing ourselves to the other beneficiaries, we don’t even feel like we’re worthy.”

However, the troop uses its funds to help others. In the past, the troop has traveled to help in disaster sites, including New Jersey after Hurricane Sandy, and Oklahoma and Washington, Illinois, to provide relief after tornadoes.

“These kids love doing it,” McNett said. “Sometimes it surprises us how much they love to help. The kids bust their butts all year doing fundraisers to fund projects to help

others, and this is money they can spend to keep helping others.”

Voluntary Action Center was founded 40 years ago on the principle of helping others, and it will use its portion of the auction proceeds to continue services in the community, such as serving meals and providing rides to those who need them, including rides to and from Corn Fest this weekend for seniors and people with disabilities.

“We’re a grassroots agency that begins with support from

the community,” said VAC Executive Director Tom Zucker. “We were thrilled to learn we were picked to be one of the beneficiaries of this. It’ll help a lot.”

This will be the second year Corn Fest has been held downtown after its five-year stint at DeKalb Taylor Municipal Airport. Before that, the festival was held downtown annually for 30 years.

Organizers are hoping for better weather this year. Last year, the festival’s opening night saw a torrential downpour, Angel said. However, she was pleased many people stuck it out by waiting in nearby bars and restaurants until the rain let up.

“Nobody went home during the rain,” Angel said. “People wanted to be at the festival anyway. That’s what it’s all about.”

Events this year include a weekend full of music performances, both on the main stage at Second and Locust streets, and the community stage on Lincoln Highway.

The bike rally will be Sunday at Lions Park, and the vintage car show will be Saturday at City Hall, near Fourth Street and Grove streets. The free corn boil will be held 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, or until corn runs out.

“Where else can you eat free sweet corn, hear free music and go home without spending a penny?” Angel said.

Continued from page A1 But Obama ruled out a military confrontation between the U.S. and Russia. He said Russia’s activity in Ukraine would incur “more costs and consequences,” though these seemed to be limited to economic pressure that will be discussed when Obama meets with European leaders at a NATO summit in Wales next week.

At an emergency session of the U.N. Security Council, Western representatives expressed outrage.

“Now we see irrefutable evidence of regular Russian forces operating inside Ukraine,” said British Ambassador Mark Lyall Grant.

U.S. Ambassador Samantha Power said Russia “has manipulated. It has obfuscated. It has outright lied.”

Russian Ambassador Vitaly Churkin offered a spirited defense, saying Kiev “is waging war against its own people.”

He did deny not the Russian presence, saying “there are Russian volunteers in eastern parts of Ukraine. No one is hiding that.”

But Power countered: “A

Russian soldier who chooses to fight in Ukraine on summer break is still a Russian soldier.”

Churkin questioned the presence of Western advisers and asked where Ukrainian troops were getting weapons.

He said he wanted to “send a message to Washington: Stop interfering in the internal affairs of sovereign states.”

A senior NATO official said the estimate of 1,000 Russian troops in Ukraine was a conservative one, adding that another 20,000 Russian troops were right over the border. The troops who entered Ukraine had sophisticated equipment, he said.

8LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Store makes family uncomfortable To the Editor: Morals are simply one’s own definition of what is right and wrong. Why is the Paperback Grotto pushing their own morals on our kids?

As it stands to appear, the Paperback Grotto can advertise and push whatever they want to advertise in their window display, and that being on DeKalb’s main street. As a result, our family does not feel welcome on the 100 block

of East Lincoln Highway, so we avoid it.

Our family used to frequent various businesses on the 100 block, but not since the great unveiling of the store’s new PR move. Our choice to not shop on the 100 block of East Lincoln Highway is not a knee-jerk reaction, nor is it vengeance.

We just do not feel “comfortable” there. I believe that the downtown DeKalb economic planners should listen. We represent a certain portion of the community. How

many other families in DeKalb feel the same way? I would like to thank Mayor John Rey for his comments in the June 27 Daily Chronicle article. He is not in favor of the new window display. Why would he be, if he is interested in keeping DeKalb a friendly place for families?

Businesses have a right to advertise, this is true. But, what right do parents have not to have the morals of another group pushed on their children? Shouldn’t families be able to walk down main street

without having to be on guard against defiling images?

We as citizens have a responsibility to protect our children from immoral influences. The black covering over the front window would be good for our community if it were put back up.

Paperback Grotto, please stop trying to make us “feel so comfortable with a dirty bookstore” in our downtown because, truthfully, we never will be.

Parenting involves many goodbyes This is the month of departure for many parents, the time of year when they brace themselves for new versions of their children getting on with life.

In recent days, my encounters – from random conversations at the grocery store to lengthy email exchanges with friends – are full of other parents’ tales of goodbyes.

Facebook, too, is full of posts from parents trying on their new brave selves.

I love the photos best. So many pictures of backpacked children with smiles that do not match their parents’ stories. Newly emancipated teens wearing grins of failed patience for moms and dads bucking up for the long drive home.

Enjoy them while you can, abandoned parents warn. In a flash, they’ll be so over you.

What mother of an infant believes this?

What parent of a grown child doesn’t wish he or she could have at least one do-over?

In my experience, parenting is a mix of limited foresight and a stockpile of second guesses. If you think otherwise, please keep your gloating to yourself.

Every generation, it seems, must learn the same lessons, and nowhere is this more evident than in the incremental separation required in parenting. Day care to preschool to college, we usher them through a new doorway, and they return to us changed by the excursion.

Deep down, we know this is what happens when the outside world has its way with us. Still, some of us – oh, c’mon, most of us, right? – struggle when it’s our own children taking the world for a spin.

As parents, we have a memory or two – or 40 – of those moments when we caught a glimpse of our children getting away from us.

VIEWS Connie Schultz Caveat: I don’t claim to speak for everyone who’s raised a child. Maybe you were one of those parents who always saw those leaps coming and took every milestone as evidence of your spectacular parenting.

Let me just say: I don’t know you.

Twenty years ago this fall, my son started college. I still remember my first visit to his college dorm room after he’d left home. It was Parents’ Weekend, but I felt like an intruder as I waited for him to invite me into his room and then searched in vain for signs of the boy he’d left behind.

How did I not know about his favorite quotation taped to the wall? Where did those shoes come from? When did he frame those photographs of his little sister and his dog – and of me?

I felt my daughter’s departure much sooner. On the first day of preschool, she held on to the sides of the classroom door and screamed “no-o-o-o-!” when she had to leave.

With me, you understand. Me, her mother.

Quite suddenly, her stories on the drives home were full of Miss Emily this and Miss Emily that, her head clearly turned by this teacher who never stopped smiling. Older friends assured me this was a clear sign of my daughter’s adjustment, her ability to trust other responsible adults. Thus began my habit of smiling through my fears of displacement.

Ten years ago, after a decade as a sin-

gle mother, I remarried. What a silly term – remarriage – as if one were renewing a service contract. To my utter delight, I was now the mother in a family with four children. More new doorways, more change – for them, too, I’m sure.

Our kids are all grown now, and after next month, all of them will be married.

They are building lives that include us, but only on the periphery. This is as it should be. Deep down I know that. I do.

Still, there are moments.

They gather like snapshots in my mind, assuring me that change is a parent’s only constant.

Rain delays Elizabeth’s wedding. She plops on the floor opposite her father and, with her wedding dress pooled around her, chats as he hangs on her every word.

Days before starting a new career, Emily sits silently in the middle of a rousing family debate. She holds her baby close, kissing the top of her head once, twice, three times.

In a crowded room, I catch a glimpse of Cait as she leans in to her fiance and whispers something that makes him smile.

Andy turns to me in the airport, puts his hands on my shoulders and says with the force of a closing argument, “I love you.”

He turns to his wife and son, and together they walk to the plane that takes him thousands of miles away.

Although the county landfill may have opened to expanded trash dumping this month, at least two of DeKalb County’s largest local governments are talking about conservation.

Both the city of DeKalb and DeKalb County this week have been talking about ways to reduce waste.

At the county level, a new zero waste policy has been proposed, which aims to cut down on the amount of trash going into the DeKalb County Landfill south of Cortland.

For the record Meanwhile, a draft of the city of DeKalb’s sustainabilWith the DeKalb County ity plan is now available landfill set to accept as online through the city’s website, www.CityOfDeKalb. much as 800 tons of trash a com. day, it is a good time for our The county’s plan does local governments – and all not contain any monumental residents – to think about proposals, but that’s one cost-effective ways that they of the encouraging things can contribute less to the about it. Its three key progrowing mound of trash. posals – keeping so-called organics (food waste and compostable material) out of landfills, expanding access to recycling for apartment-dwellers and expanding access to recycling for those in rural areas – all are issues that have been addressed in other communities and could be here.

In other words, there are ways to address all of these issues, and most people agree in principle with the idea of cutting down waste. It’s simply a matter of whether enough people have the will – read: money – to do it.

For example, the county’s zero waste proposal calls for expanding access to recycling services both at apartment complexes and for people in rural areas.

Access to recycling has long been an issue for apartment dwellers, many of whom, if they want to recycle, have to save their used newspapers, cans and bottles and take them to a recycling center somewhere.

But that problem has been confronted by other communities, such as the city of Champaign, a college town which implemented a recycling program for apartments with five or more units, as well as group housing (fraternity and sorority houses). The city funds the program through a monthly fee on landlords of $2.60 on each rental unit.

On the rural front, Peoria County awards rural recycling grants each year of up to $25,000 to subsidize recycling in rural communities. DeKalb County could launch a similar effort.

As far as “harvesting organics,” adding a third bin beside the familiar trash and recycling receptacles in public places is not a new concept. But what’s the cost to install them? Who shares that cost? And will people mind if there are more flies around?

DeKalb’s sustainability plan is longer and perhaps more ambitious, calling for in-depth study of how city government functions, cutting down on paper use, instituting “no-idle” rules for city-owned nonemergency vehicles and more.

The city’s plan also calls for aligning and coordinating guidelines with the county’s zero waste plan, particularly in providing recycling at apartment buildings.

It talks of creating a permanent facility for collecting materials that can’t be recycled curbside, such as polystyrene and household hazardous waste, along with a composting facility. Water conservation, stormwater management, transportation and other areas are covered in its plan.

With the DeKalb County landfill set to accept as much as 800 tons of trash a day, it is a good time for our local governments – and all residents – to think about cost-effective ways that they can contribute less to the growing mound of trash.

In 2012, DeKalb County generated more than 82,000 tons of waste – more than 4 pounds for every person in the county, according to a report from the DeKalb County Health Department.

The means employed to reduce that number must make sense and be cost-effective, as well. But the landfill at Cortland is not in some faraway place – it is our own backyard. It makes sense that we should view reducing our own local contribution to the trash heap as a priority.

Afghanistan’s test is coming Afghanistan faces ever deepening security and political crises. As American troops withdraw, Taliban military advances are threatening entire districts, and government coffers are dwindling.

NATO leaders are scheduled to hold a summit meeting next week that is supposed to reaffirm the alliance’s commitment to keep supporting Afghanistan’s security forces, which, like the rest of the government, are heavily dependent on international aid.

Afghanistan’s rival presidential candidates, Ashraf Ghani and Abdullah Abdullah, are putting the country’s stability at risk in refusing to agree on a winner two months after the disputed election to replace President Hamid Karzai.

The best available solution is for Abdullah and Ghani to cooperate fully with the ballot audit, accept the results and quickly form a functioning government that reflects the country’s diversity. If they manage to do that, there might be some hope that they could, in time, restore voter trust and put Afghanistan on the path to a real democracy.

NORTHERN ILLINOIS 55, PRESBYTERIAN 3

NIU wins its opener once again

Northern Illinois’ Da’Ron Brown pulls in a Matt McIntosh pass for a first quarter touchdown Thursday against Presbyterian in a nonconference game at Huskie Stadium in DeKalb. McIntosh finished the game 10 of 14 for 87 yards and a touchdown.

Running backs steal the show for Huskies The questions lit up the mentions column for the HuskieWire Twitter account.

“Any word on the quarterback?”

“Who’s the quarterback going to be?”

“Who’s starting at quarterback?”

Those apparently were the wrong questions. Everyone should have been asking, “Just how good is this running back corps?”

The Huskies ran for 424 yards in their 55-3 season-opening win against Presbyterian at Huskie Stadium on Thursday. Five of the seven NIU scores came on the ground.

And that was without the services of Cameron Stin-

VIEWS Eddie Carifio gily, who was the projected starter before suffering an unspecified injury that left him sidelined Thursday, and likely for at least three more games.

Thunder and lightning isn’t exactly an original way to refer to a running back tandem, but in the case of Joel Bouagnon and Akeem Daniels, it’s is very accurate. At 6-foot-2, 222 pounds, Bouagnon ran for 97 yards on 16 carries, while the diminutive (5-7, 189) Daniels

DeKALB – It didn’t matter who was at quarterback.

Northern Illinois’ offense could not be stopped.

NIU head coach Rod Carey didn’t announce a starter leading up to Thursday night’s season opening 55-3 win against Presbyterian at Huskie Stadium. There wasn’t even a starter announced during the pregame warmups.

It didn’t matter which signal-caller was in, Presbyterian (0-1), a Football Championship Subdivision program that went just 3-8 last season, was overmatched in every facet of the game.

Earlier in the week, Carey didn’t rule out playing multiple quarterbacks, and that’s exactly what happened.

It was Matt McIntosh who took the field first, leading the Huskies on three scoring drives in the first quarter.

Drew Hare took over in the second quarter, and was under center for the next five drives.

His final pass of the night was a 49-yard touchdown pass to Juwan Brescacin.

Then it was time for sophomore Anthony Maddie, the third player battling it out for the starting job. He played with the second team and played the rest of the contest.

“I’m going to have to go back and look at it [on film],” Carey said after the game. “My gut right now is that all three played really good, these two [McIntosh and Hare] in the first half played really well, and then Maddie went in there and played some good things, too.”

McIntosh finished the game 10 of 14 for 87 yards and a touchdown, while Hare went 8 of 13 for 100 yards and a score.

Maddie, who played with the second team, went 1-for-4 for 24 yards.

“I was pretty comfortable coming in with a nice lead,”

WR, RB spots wide open for Sycamore heading into opener

Barbs look for another season-opening victory

By EDDIE CARIFIO ecarifio@shawmedia.com No definite starter at running back. Same thing at wide receiver.

There’s going to be a lot of committees on offense for the Sycamore football team when they open the season tonight against Lincoln-Way West.

Coach Joe Ryan said both the running backs and receiving corps will be wide open, with many players getting playing time in both areas. Kickoff for the game is7:15 p.m. in Sycamore.

Athletic director Chauncey Carrick said that seven players will be suspended for the first two games, but said he could not comment on the nature of the suspensions or who the players were. Coach Ryan said he could not comment on which positions

were affected.

Heading into the season, Ryan said Dion Hooker would be carrying most of the load at running back. But at practice earlier this week, he said the backfield was wide open.

“We’ve got a lot of depth back there, so it could be backfield by committee,” Ryan said. “We utilize a lot of kids back there, including fullbacks and running backs. There’s going to be a lot of different numbers back there.”

He did not list any specific names for that position.

At receiver and tight end however, he listed six names of players who could see some action, including Trace Hefler and Matt Coovert.

“We’ve got a lot of parts and a lot of people that can make plays,” Ryan said.

“We’ll know more after Fri-

That will give junior quarterback Brett Bemis plenty of options in his first varsity start.

“There are some things you don’t have when you have a junior quarterback, but that’s OK. We’ve been there before,” Ryan said.

Joe Ryan Sycamore head football coach

The offense hadn’t scored – in fact, it gave up seven points.

The defense was sharp, but on the whole something needed to change.

After some halftime adjustments, mostly to the blocking schemes, the DeKalb football team managed to turn a 10-point deficit into a 15-point win against Vernon Hills in the 2013 opener.

This time, second-year head coach Matt Weckler is hoping to forgo the early struggles of the 25-10 win last year and cut straight to the victory.

The Barbs open the season at 7:30 p.m. tonight at home against Cougars, looking for their second straight win against Vernon Hills – which went 3-6 last year.

“That was one of the things we didn’t do well last year,” Weckler said. “Our blocking scheme was a little skewed.

Second half we did a much better job. So this year we just

Weckler said the defense played well last year, and this year’s unit – led by senior Jake Kuykendall, who Weckler called the glue holding the defense together – will have to perform just as well tonight for the win.

“Our defense played well the whole game,” Weckler said. “We only gave up three points – our offense gave up a turnover for a touchdown. For us to be successful they have to do that again.”

Bears wide receiver Santonio Holmes beats Cleveland Browns cornerback Justin Gilbert on a 32-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter Thursday in Cleveland.

BEARS NOTES

Holmes showcases agility for a penalty.

By KEVIN FISHBAIN CLEVELAND – The last time Santonio Holmes played in a preseason finale, it was 2010 and he was facing a fourgame suspension, so he needed the extra work.

This year, he was the most notable veteran who actually did dress for the Bears in their 33-13 loss to the Browns on Thursday, and the wide receiver instilled some confidence that he is worth a roster spot to start the 2014 season.

Holmes made a catch in the second quarter, coming left to right, then spun on a dime and ran to the end zone for a 32yard touchdown.

Holmes then got a crack at returning a punt, something he hasn’t done in a regular-season game since 2010, and he showed off his agility on a 30-

“You see the explosion in him,” Trestman said about Holmes. “He caught a short throw, turned and ran, separated from the defense. That’s a good sign.”

In Cleveland, the Bears did not dress 36 players, including starters on both sides of the ball, some backups many thought were on the roster bubble and a few injured players.

League increases domestic violence bans

By HOWARD FENDRICH The Associated Press) NEW YORK – Acknowledging he “didn’t get it right” with a two-game suspension for Ravens running back Ray Rice, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announced tougher penalties for players accused of domestic violence, including six weeks for a first offense and at least a year for a second.

In a letter sent to all 32 team owners Thursday and obtained

by The Associated Press, Goodell never mentions Rice by name but makes clear references to the Baltimore player who was charged with assault after being caught on video dragging his then-fiancee off a casino elevator.

“My disciplinary decision led the public to question our sincerity, our commitment, and whether we understood the toll that domestic violence inflicts on so many families. I take responsibility both for the decision and for ensuring that our actions in the future properly reflect our values,” Goodell wrote. “I didn’t get it right. Simply put, we have to do better. And we will.”

Since January 2000, 77 players have been involved in 85 domestic violence incidents with six being cut by their teams, according to USA Today’s NFL Arrests Database. The NFL suspended six players for one game each, and Rice was the second player to be suspended for two games.

Carolina Panthers defensive

end Greg Hardy was convicted in July of assaulting his ex-girlfriend and has appealed for a jury trial set for November.

His league punishment has not been announced. Goodell’s letter doesn’t state clearly how the league will handle pending cases and NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said in an email, “Each case will be addressed individually on its merits.”

Outrage over Rice’s punishment prompted three members of Congress to write to the commissioner asking him to reconsider Rice’s suspension; the governor of Maine also threatened to boycott the league, and numerous groups that advocate for women and families condemned the penalty as too lenient.

CINCINNATI – Jake Arrieta wishes he would’ve held onto the ball a bit longer.

Billy Hamilton stole his 51st base and the Cincinnati Reds swiped six in all, beating the Cubs, 7-2, Thursday.

The Reds stole six times in the first four innings, using six hits and four walks to build a 6-0 lead against Arrieta (7-5).

All six steals came at second base. Cubs catcher John Baker wasn’t able to throw out anyone.

“I was bad at holding the runners. That’s my fault,” Arrieta said. “I wasn’t giving Baker an opportunity to throw them out.”

“I’ve got to vary my times better at holding the ball. They were aggressive on the bases and at the plate. They were

The Cubs made two errors one of which led to an unearned run.

“The last couple of games have been a little rough for us,” Renteria said. “We have to play clean baseball. Axelrod mixed up his pitches and kept us off-balance.”

Reds run all over Arrieta, defeat Cubs able to get good reads and good jumps,” he said.

Zack Cozart and Todd Frazier each stole twice, and Kristopher Negron added one more.

Cincinnati stole three in a three-run second inning and two in a three-run fourth.

Arrieta had seven good starts and a rain-shortened outing coming into the game, but let the Reds run wild in his four innings.

“Jake actually had good stuff,” Cubs manager Rick Renteria said. “His command wasn’t very good. He didn’t have his Jake-like command.”

Controlling the running game hasn’t been a problem for him until today.

NIU MEN’S SOCCER

Gophers win opener

Huskies look to bounce back from lackluster 4-13-1 season

By DAVE CAMPBELL The Associated Press MINNEAPOLIS – Mitch Leidner ran for two scores and threw a touchdown pass to Donovahn Jones, leading Minnesota to a season-opening 4220 victory over Eastern Illinois on Thursday night.

Leidner finished 9 for 17 with 144 yards, David Cobb carried 14 times for 71 yards and the defense delivered a punishing performance to overwhelm the Panthers, a perennial FCS power facing the Gophers for the first time.

Jalen Whitlow, a transfer from Kentucky, went 14 for 23 passing for 110 yards and rushed 19 times for 77 yards. He had an interception, though, and took two sacks on a mistake-marred night for the Panthers.

Eric Murray blocked a punt near the goal line for the Gophers that Logan Hutton grabbed for a three-touchdown lead.

Minnesota’s Berkley Edwards, the brother of former

Michigan and NFL wide receiver Braylon Edwards, ran for two late scores in his first career game.

Leidner, a sophomore who’s the unquestioned starting quarterback this season after making four starts during a sporadic job share last year with Philip Nelson, started slowly. Over Minnesota’s first five possessions, Leidner completed just 3 of 8 passes for 24 yards while taking two sacks and losing a fumble.

He was able to scramble in for a third-and-goal score from 2 yards out during that span, set up by the second botched snap of the first quarter by the Panthers that Alex Keith fell on at the 5. Then Leidner found a rhythm on a nine-play, 90yard drive he punctuated with the 35-yard touchdown toss to Jones. Freshman safety Will Vails gambled for the interception, barely missing, and Jones pivoted into open field for an easy path to the end zone.

The Gophers held out injured sophomore wide receiver Drew Wolitarsky, who had

a breakout game in the Texas Bowl at the end of last season, thinning a position group already filled with unproven players. There is plenty of athleticism there, though, with Jones, a sophomore originally recruited as a quarterback, and junior K.J. Maye.

To improve on their 4-4 finish in the Big Ten, the Gophers are going to need to be better than last in the league in passing yards, so there’s clearly a lot of work left for Leidner and his teammates this fall.

The defense is further along.

Keith, who started at defensive end in place of the injured Michael Amaefula, was credited with a sack and two recovered fumbles to highlight the kind of production the Gophers have come to expect on that side of the ball.

That goes for special teams, too, where Murray sprinted off the edge and stretched out to deflect the punt and send the ball straight up into the air.

Hutton, a senior wide receiver, snagged it for his first career touchdown.

By TRAVIS ZUELLIG news@daily-chronicle.com Head coach Eric Luzzi and the Northern Illinois men’s soccer team are not going to shy away from the down year they dealt with last season.

After a lackluster 4-13-1 season, which included three separate 4-game losing streaks, the Huskies are looking to bounce back. NIU will be returning most of last season’s team, including leading-scorer Isaac Kannah, number one goalie Andrew Glaeser and top assist man Jayson LeSeth.

“I am not going to hide from anything that we did last year,” Luzzi said. “We underachieved and it is not the kind of season that we would ever expect to have within our program.”

NIU worked throughout last spring and during this preseason to make sure they turn this season into a successful one. And, that looks hopeful as the Huskies went 2-0-1 in their three preseason games.

“I think [this season] looks promising,” Glaeser said. “We came together as a team over the last couple of weeks, we had a couple of good games in the preseason, and we are looking to put it all together in a real game.”

After just three full days of training, the Huskies played to a 0-0 stalemate against Western Illinois. Coach Luzzi said that the team looked comfortable on the ball. The next two games were nice wins for the squad.

First was a 2-1 victory over IUPUI. Goals from Kannah and senior Andrew Palumbo paced NIU in a light-

NIU goalkeeper Andrew Glaeser checks his form Aug. 13 during a drill at practice. Glaeser had 14 starts for the Huskies last season and starts this season with a 1.39 goals against average, fifth-best in the MAC.

“Last year, we struggled to finish off teams and get the results that we wanted. But, I think that is something that we worked on in the spring, and honestly this preseason, we have shown that we can get results.”

Jayson LeSeth Top assist for NIU men’s soccer ening-shortened game. The final contest of the preseason was a 4-0 rout over DePauw.

Kannah and Palumbo scored in consecutive games, while Dusty Page and Alex Saliba also knocked in goals.

“To be honest, we pretty much dominated all three games – statistically and in

terms of ball possession,” said Luzzi.

Six goals and two clean sheets, even in preseason, will help build the confidence around the squad. LeSeth said that the team struggled to close out games last season. These preseason games showed that could change.

“Last year, we struggled to finish off teams and get the results that we wanted,” LeSeth said. “But, I think that is something that we worked on in the spring, and honestly this preseason, we have shown that we can get results.”

The Huskies open upt their season today in Evanston for the Northwestern Lakeside Classic. NIU will play two games, the first being today against Hofstra at 4:30 p.m. and the second being against Quinnipiac on Sunday at 11:00 a.m.

“It will be good games.

They will give us a test and hopefully, we come out on top,” Glaeser said.

Northern Illinois quarterback Matt McIntosh splits Presbyterian defenders Kevin Crawford (22) and Donelle Williamson (32) as he runs for a first down in the first quarter Thursday in DeKalb.

Carey pleased with backs • CARIFIO Continued from page B1 had 118 yards on 15 carries.

They had just one combined carry after halftime – a 1-yard touchdown run by Bouagnon, his fourth of the game.

The last person to run for four touchdowns in a game for NIU? Some guy named Jordan Lynch, who did it last year.

“It felt really good,” Bouagnon said of his four-touchdown performance. “It was just taking it one play at a time and focusing on the game.”

Now comes the disclaimer.

This was against a Blue Hose team that is not very good.

Even by Football Championship Subdivision standards.

If you were wondering why Sean Frazier and the NIU athletic department spent a week announcing high-profile opponents, this game is the answer. The Huskies get a scant five home games this year, and this is one of them.

Next year has Murray State as the FCS representative, but after that the schedule is open. Hopefully a game like this doesn’t happen again.

But that aside, these running backs still look good.

Daniels is fast and can break off a big run. Bouagnon can pound the ball up the middle.

And that’s without Stingily added to the mix.

“I was pretty pleased with it,” coach Rod Carey said.

“I’m not a numbers guy but ... we rushed for 424. So anytime

you do that, that’s a good thing. I’ll see more on the film if we’re moving our feel and doing things like that, but I think we did real good.”

So while the quarterback issue is far from settled, the only question about the running backs is how representative of their season is this game? Obviously they’re not going to pound out 424 yards every week.

Like the quarterback question, and virtually every one surrounding the Huskies, it will be answered next week when the season starts for real in Evanston.

Bouagnon runs for 97 yards Continued from page B1 Hare said. “The offensive line was doing a great job moving people, so I had no reason not to be comfortable.”

The quarterbacks won’t put up rushing numbers like Jordan Lynch, but all of them showed off their athletic ability.

McIntosh ran four times for 27 yards, while Hare had five carries for 51 yards. Maddie had nine carries for 51 yards.

“We’ve got playmakers around me, I don’t know, maybe schematically they were more keying on those guys,” Hare said. “We ran draw, the holes opened up, the line did a great job.”

Even with projected starter Cameron Stingily out with an undisclosed injury, the Huskies showed off their tailback depth.

Sophomore Joel Bouagnon ran for 97 yards and four touchdowns, including a 23-

U.S. OPEN

Williams overcomes double-faults to win

By HOWARD FENDRICH The Associated Press NEW YORK – Good as she is, even Serena Williams can find it tough to deal with swirling wind, so much so that she double-faulted three times in her first service game Thursday at the U.S. Open.

And, yes, even a 17-time major champion such as Williams can lose in the early

going at the sport’s biggest tournaments, as she has repeatedly in 2014.

Quickly putting behind a poor-serving start, and showing absolutely no other signs of the type of up-and-down play that has plagued her at Grand Slams this season, Williams dismissed 81st-ranked American Vania King 6-1, 6-0 in 56 minutes to reach the third round.

While buzz around the tournament grounds built all day waiting for 15-yearold CiCi Bellis to play her second-round match at night – she wound up losing – Williams ran her U.S. Open winning streak to 16 matches as she tries to become the first woman to win three consecutive titles at Flushing Meadows since Chris Evert took four in a row from 1975-78.

VOLLEYBALL: DEKALB 2, JACOBS 0

Milborn wins coaching debut with DeKalb ALGONQUIN – In his first season with the DeKalb girls volleyball team, head coach Kyle Milborn is off to a solid start after Thursday night’s 26-24, 25-17 nonconference victory over Jacobs.

Milborn, who has been coaching since 2006 with stops at Club Fusion and Rockford Lutheran, was looking forward to seeing how his relatively inexperienced squad would handle a solid opponent in the first match of the season.

“We lost eight seniors from last year’s team, so experience was a big factor tonight to see how we would handle a varsity setting,” Milborn said. “I thought we

did well with basically only three starters that are seniors, and the rest [that] are sophomores and juniors, so that was big.”

And so was DeKalb’s defense.

The Barbs (1-0) were all over the court.

Nicole Schladt, a key impact returner from last season, did her opponent no favors with a team-high eight digs. The defensive specialist was diving on nearly every rally, setting up players such as Kate Hickey to finish the job with a clutch spike or volley.

Hickey, a senior outside hitter, had a match-high nine kills, keeping Jacobs (1-1) on its heels. Hickey credited her team’s success to their ability to stay calm and ignore the

first-match jitters.

“I think we just wanted to be relaxed and play our game because we lost a lot of people last year and it was like a new team, so we had to just focus on playing our game and just going out there and relaxing and just doing us.”

Relaxed sounds nice, but DeKalb looked anything but as players such as Heather Bemis and Kayla Schafer fiercely crowded the net, making block after block in the face of their opponent.

Jacobs, an efficient team with proven success, going 20-16 last year, was a big test for Milborn’s young team.

They proved their worth in an exciting nonconference matchup. The Barbs will travel to play Libertyville on Friday.

Stories to watch for Week 1, season Daily Chronicle sports editor Eddie Carifio and sports reporter Steve Nitz spend their days covering the area’s sports scene. Occasionally, they give their viewpoints on those local sports. In this installment of their Take 2 column, they discuss the opening week of high school football.

Carifio: No three words make me happier than “football is back.” With the season kicking off tonight, obviously I’m excited for a full slate of home games. And I’ve done some homework, writing the stories and talking to players and coaches from each of the five football-playing schools we cover.

So I know the big points – Dre Brown, Kaneland’s dominance ended by Sycamore last

TAKE 2 Eddie Carifio and Steve Nitz face off year, Hiawatha’s battle with low numbers, a Genoa-Kingston resurgence.

But I’m still the new guy who hasn’t even been here two months yet. Is there anything else I should be watching for not just in Week 1, but moving forward?

Nitz: Eddie, you’re spot on with your area assessment.

Last year was a great season in terms of DeKalb County success, specifically Sycamore’s run to the Class 5A semifinals.

Here’s what I’m looking

forward to this season – Week 3 at Huskie Stadium. Can DeKalb top the Spartans for the first time since 2007? The Barbs have been at the wrong end of the rivalry so many times, but this year, I think they have what it takes to beat Sycamore. It should be a fun, interesting matchup.

Anything that’s catching your eye?

Carifio: I’m intrigued by the Spartans this year. They came off an incredible season last year but they lost a of talent to graduation. There are

also seven suspensions that will leave them shorthanded for the next two weeks – the school couldn’t say who the suspended parties are, but some of it should be made clear by who is missing Friday.

Then there’s the gigantic target on their backs – they beat Kaneland last year, handing the Knights their first regular season loss in years. They beat Lincoln-Way West twice, the only two losses suffered by the Warriors – who face the Spartans tonight.

It still seems that Joe Ryan has this team coached up year in and year out. Granted I don’t know much of the history, but I do know what a challenge looks like.

Another interesting team is Genoa-Kingston, which

is slowly and surely getting better under coach Travis Frederick. Do you think they make a leap to the seven-, eight-win range and a playoff win or two, stay as a fringe playoff team, or regress?

Nitz: One thing is for certain, Genoa-Kingston’s program is on the way up.

Like you said, the next step is to go beyond waiting until the end of the season to clinch a playoff berth and get in comfortably.

Can they do it this year?

The Cogs lose players like Sal Lopez, Mike Kuhn and Eli Thurlby, but there’s talent there. I also don’t know what to make of the Big Northern East, it looks like it will be wide open. Harvard seemingly came out of nowhere to win the conference last season, Richmond-Burton was down

but the Rockets are always a top program. Burlington Central and North Boone were near playoff teams.

In the end, how many playoff teams do you see coming out of the area?

Carifio: I see the same four making the playoffs. DeKalb and G-K were fringe playoff teams last year, and both are hoping to be much more this year. And while Kaneland and Sycamore had losses, these are well-oiled machines that are designed to win year in and year out regardless of losses.

I would love to say we’re going 5 for 5, but I just don’t see Hiawatha getting five wins. Hawk players and coaches seem to think it’s possible if everything breaks right, but it is going to be very difficult.

Illinois recruit and senior running back Dre Brown is a big chunk of that offense, but it won’t be all him.

Weckler said junior Tony Tate has come on strong late in camp at running back.

At quarterback, Weckler said both sophomore Derek Kyler and junior Ethan Conroy will see playing time, with Kyler starting.

“There have been times where one has taken the lead and then the other has taken the lead,” Weckler said. “We consider one the starter and one the 1A starter. In normal years either one of them could have started any game.”

He said he hopes one of the two steps up and takes control of the offense, but having two

quarterbacks in his system isn’t a bad thing.

“But these days you need two anyways with the type of offense we run, with the quarterbacks running the ball so much,” Weckler said. “It’s very important for us to have two quarterbacks in case something happens and one gets dinged up.”

Weckler said the Barbs are healthy, although outside linebacker Tony Ramos has an ankle sprain and is likely to be held out.

for his position and what he needs to do to be successful for us.”

The defense is a little more settled, anchored by Brett Weaver at linebacker. Nick Niemann joins him there, with Tanner Watkins back at cornerback, Austin Kosusnik at defensive end and Devin Knight on the defensive line.

“It’s time for the younger guys to prove themselves,” Ryan said.

“There’s a lot of new names in new spots.”

Even without the seven missing players because of suspension, graduation had depleted last year’s Northern Illinois Big 12 East champs.

“We’re trying to get to know each other,” Ryan said. “We’ve lost a lot of players from last year, so we’re trying to bring a bunch of new guys together and working as one unit.”

The Spartans went undefeated in the regular season – including a 3421 win over the Warriors – and reached the Class 5A semifinals – including

beating the Warriors 2114 in the quarters. Those were the only two losses the Southwest Suburban Red Conference champs suffered.

“We know they’re really good, there’s no doubt about that,” Ryan said. “I think everybody is going to be up for Week 1. It’s such an exciting week I think everyone is ready to play, whether it’s an opponent that beat you twice last year or someone you’ve never played before.”

Ryan said to come away with a fourth straight win against the Warriors – Sycamore won 19-13 in 2012 – the Spartans have to play smart football.

“In any Week 1 game you have to limit your mistakes,” Ryan said.

“That doesn’t mean you play cautious, but when we talk about mistakes we talk about the dumb mistakes. Turnovers are dumb. Normally you can control those. Five-yard penalties, because those are controllable. We’ve got to be very good with our assignments and play hard. I know that’s coachspeak, but those things have to come into play.”

“It’s time for the younger guys to prove themselves. There’s a lot of new names in new spots.”

Coach Joe Ryan Sycamore coach on his team’s lack of experience

WEEK 1 PREVIEWS ST. EDWARD at GENOA-KINGSTON Game time: 7 p.m.

Location: Genoa-Kingston High School, 980 Park Ave., Genoa, 60135 Last meeting: The Cogs lost 43-21 in Elgin to begin last year.

Scouting the Green Wave: There’s no surprises here. The teams are meeting for the fourth straight year.

“They might as well be a conference team at this point,” G-K coach Travis Frederick said.

“We have seen enough of each other.”

Frederick said the Green Wave bring back most of their weapons from a year ago, including junior running back Dwayne Allen, senior quarterback Joe Mullen and 6-foot-4 (on last year’s roster) receiver Nick Duffy.

On defense, Frederick said most of St. Edward’s front seven return, calling the defense “real stout.”

What’s at stake: The Cogs are hoping to make a leap beyond 5-5 this season, and they get a good Week 1 measuring stick.

Despite the lopsided score, the

Green Wave also finished 5-5 last year.

“If we can play with these guys for four quarters, it’s a good test to see where we’re going to go for the season,” Frederick said. “If we compete well, maybe we get a ‘W’ against these guys and that would be a huge, huge boost to start the season. But they are real good and if things don’t go our way – I mean, they are going to be a playoff team. I like to start the year against a tough team like this.”

Frederick said he expects big things from quarterback Griffin McNeal. He also thinks converted lineman Joe Murray will shore-up a depleted fullback position. The Cogs started with four, but are down to “one and a half” according to Frederick.

also line up at defensive end and use his size to be a disruptive force. The Ramblers were 4-5 in 2013; a victory shy of being playoff eligible.

What’s at stake: With a smaller offensive line, the Hawks will use a zone blocking scheme that will give senior running back Nick Doolittle the chance to read a block and make one, decisive cut to get upfield. Expect heavy doses of Doolittle, who Hiawatha coach Sean Donnelly said is “the Hawks’ best athlete.”

The Hawks will be an I-Formation team and look to get senior quarterback Alex Flores out of the pocket on bootlegs to utilize his ability to throw on the run. On defense Hiawatha will blitz from all positions.

“We need to be aggressive on defense,” Donnelly said. “We don’t have the personnel to line up man-to-man with other teams. We expect a lot of action from a defense the players have really taken a liking to because they are always moving around.”

MOOSEHEART at HIAWATHA Game time: 7 p.m.

Scouting the Ramblers: Loaded with size and speed, VERNON HILLS Mooseheart at DEKALB will run a no-huddle, up-tempo Game time: 7:30 p.m. offense. Senior wide receiver Location: 501 W. Dresser Hameed Odunewu is a big target Road, DeKalb, 60115 at 6-foot-4, 200 pounds. He’ll Last meeting: The Barbs won

25-10 in the season opener last year at Vernon Hills.

Scouting the Cougars: Last year, sophomore Tanner McNamara took over at quarterback late in the game against the Barbs and stayed there for the rest of the year. Bill Bellecomo was in his first year as head coach – just as Matt Weckler was for the Barbs – so he’s looking on an improvement last year.

The three wins the Cougars had last year were all relatively close – two, six and 14 points.

They started 0-3 with losses of 25-10, 28-7 and 18-7. Then they alternated wins and losses for the rest of the year, although the defeats were blowouts – 52-7 to Stevenson, 42-7 to Villa Lakes and 46-15 to Antioch.

What’s at stake: Weckler scored a playoff berth in his first season, something Bellecomo was unable to do. But both are looking for big things in their respective second years. The Barbs are hoping to be competitive with the top teams in the Northern Illinois Big 12 East, and nothing can help prove that like a nonconference win against a team they beat a year ago.

“We have to prepare ourselves

just like we would preparing anybody in our conference,” Weckler said.

LINCOLN-WAY WEST at SYCAMORE Game time: 7:15 p.m.

Location: 555 Spartan Trail, Sycamore, 60178 Last meeting: The Spartans won 34-21 in New Lenox to open last year.

Scouting the Warriors: The Warriors lost twice last year – once to Sycamore in the regular season, and once to the Spartans in the playoffs. Way West led the playoff game 14-7 before Sycamore got two late touchdowns for the win in the quarterfinal round.

Like the Spartans, the Warriors lost a lot to graduation and look to see where they are with a tough first matchup. Lincoln-Way West won the Southwest Suburban Red conference for the first time. The Warriors were 8-4 in 2012.

What’s at stake: The Spartans are playing the first of two games without seven players due to suspensions according to athletic director Chauncey Carrick. Carrick said he could

not say the nature of the suspensions or who is gone.

That makes the test against the Warriors even tougher.

The Spartans ended up playing seven playoff-bound teams in the regular season last year.

KANELAND at CHICAGO BROOKS Game time: 7 p.m.

Location: 47W326 Keslinger Road, Maple Park, 60151 Last meeting: Kaneland cruised to a 27-7 win in the opener last year on the road.

Scouting the Eagles: Despite the Knights’ easy win, the Eagles actually had a longer playoff run last year than Kaneland, going a round further and finishing 9-3. Brooks lost to Dunbar in the Class 8A quarterfinals last year.

What’s at stake: Kaneland gets a tough test to start the season – again. Senior receiver Connor Fedderly, son of coach Tom Fedderly, had 20 catches last year and is the top returner back in the receiving corps.

Jake Marczuk is likely to be under center for the Knights.

Keeping the Faith Faith organizations help NIU students feel at home

By KATIE DAHLSTROM kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com

L

auren DeFries put her faith to the side when she started at Northern Illinois University.

A transplant to the DeKalb area, the excitement of being a new college student eclipsed years of going to church. It’s not that DeFries, now 21, didn’t want to stay connected to her faith, but going to church alone felt awkward and she didn’t have faithful friends.

“A lot of people don’t want to talk about religion,” the NIU senior said.

“There’s a stigma about it.”

Religious leaders on the NIU campus know college is a time where students explore in ways that might take them away from their religion or spirituality. That’s why they’re determined to provide a strong network where students can feel at home and keep the faith.

One day during her sophomore year, DeFries walked into Grace Place, a campus ministry center based in Lutheran and Episcopal beliefs. She’s been a regular there since.

“I feel like I’m back where I need to be,” DeFries said. “I’m not practicing everyday, but I’m moving forward.”

Watching college students make the foundational decisions about their lives is part of the reason Amy Fallon loves her job as the Campus Pastor at Grace Place, where she’s worked for nearly two years. She said coming to church often helps students integrate all the new experiences they’re having with where they see their lives after college.

“It helps students put the pieces together,” Fallon said.

On Wednesday, a group of more than 15 students and pastors gathered around a small fire burning at the corner of Lucinda Avenue and Normal Road outside of The Grace Place. They sang hymns and read Bible verses amid a sea of passing students, cars and buses.

“Campus ministry is at the heart of campus,” Fallon said. “I think that has some strong symbolism.”

NIU has more than 20 religious

“Between all of us, hopefully we can provide a home for the students of faith,” the Rev. Jeremy Trowbridge said Wednesday after Mass at the Newman Catholic Student Center.

Newman leaders aim to provide the regular spiritual nourishment or a safe place to turn. The team also tries to have fun, Trowbridge said. Wednesday night, for instance, students come for confes-

sion or Mass, but also enjoy pizza and a game of bags afterwards.

Peter Aiura found nourishment at the church before he graduated from NIU in 2011 with a degree in mechanical engineering. After working in his field for a few months, Aiura, 25, came back to NIU to be part of the Newman Catholic Students Center’s missionary team.

He said when he’s out among college students, he finds they often seem thirsty for a human connection. He knows living the college lifestyle might not seem compatible with a religious one, but contends NIU has a strong network of faith organizations.

“I think it is there, but it’s not something that’s celebrated,” Aiura said. “It’s not like the football program where they’re going to hang up banners saying we have great churches and Bible studies.”

While many students wander away from their faith as they start college, Montana Hernandez is determined to maintain it. The 18-year-old Morrison native lost her father earlier this year, which is when she started regularly attending church again.

“I just think if I keep with my faith,” Hernandez said, “It will help me with my classes and keep me close to my dad.”

Jazz in Progress to give Beyond the Ashes gospel free concert at SUMC trio at Shabbona church From the first time music director Bev Rauch heard Jazz in Progress last August, she wanted to bring the group, with its all energy and musicianship, to Sycamore United Methodist Church.

At 5 p.m. Sept. 6, she will get her wish, and the public is invited to the performance at the church, 160 Johnson Ave. in Sycamore.

Jazz in Progress, under the direction of Dave Lehman, was founded by Aaron Butler to encourage local musicians to play for the love of music. The group made its public debut in 2012 as part of the Celebration Chorale’s “Salute to the USO” concert.

A few of the musicians in the group are no strangers to SUMC. Jim Selig regularly adds his saxophone stylings to the Christmas and

spring choral celebrations, as well as to the praise team Spiritwind. Paul Watson plays trombone, guitar, banjo, penny whistle and sings in the worship services as well as in special productions.

One of the appeals of the 18-piece combo is the variety of its sets. Swing-era composers such as Duke Ellington and Cole Porter are interspersed with funk and jazz favorites from the 1960s and 70s and more modern tunes.

By special request of the SUMC director, the group is working on a jazz version of an old gospel favorite.

Refreshments will be served after the celebration, and a free-will offering will be taken.

For more information, call 815-895-9113 or visit www.sycamoreumc.org.

This young and contemporary trio is rocking the music world. The group’s music has been described by Charles Dorris of the William Morris Agency as “... Brian Free meets 4 Him meets the Backstreet Boys! What an incredible combination, and audiences will love the group and the music! They have a wonderful future ahead of them. I appreciate the heart and passion for HIS music...”

Beyond the Ashes frequently appears on the Gaither Homecoming series. The group is made up of Anthony Facello, Tyler Vestal and Dustin Doyle.

Refreshments will follow the concert. Shabbona United Church of Christ is located at 104 E. Navaho St.

4 ADVICE & PUZZLES • Friday, August 29, 2014 • Section C • Daily Chronicle / daily-chronicle.com

Responsibility for birth control falls on both Dear Abby: I am sick to death of hearing about people who have too many kids and the hardship it imposes.

Common sense for the women is to use birth control, but why don’t men step up to the plate and have a vasectomy?

I had one years ago and it has worked well for me.

I never hear it mentioned on talk shows or read it in any advice columns, including yours. Men of America, wake up! – Joseph in Las Vegas Dear Joseph: I’m sure the word “vasectomy” has been used in previous Dear Abby columns, but I’m glad to remind my male readers. While I have never taken a poll on this subject, I’ll hazard a guess or two about why men are reluctant to have them: One, they equate it with

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips castration; two, they think at some point they might change their mind or their partner; and three, they’re afraid it will be painful.

Drumroll: For any men out there who are worried that some tragedy might wipe out your family and you will have to start over, sperm can be banked for up to 20 years and used should the need arise.

P.S. There are also more options open to women than the pill. These include IUDs and, if they’re sure they want to be finished with childbearing, tubal ligation.

Dear Abby: I raised three kids in a normal household, putting them to bed between two sheets. Now my two younger ones no longer sleep between sheets, but wrapped up in a blanket on a sheetless mattress. One of them has children, and is passing the habit on to them.

The only thing I can conclude is that it’s laziness, and I’m wondering where I went wrong. Has anyone else encountered this? – Taken Aback in Missouri Dear Taken Aback: People have varying sleep “styles.”

If, when your children lived with you, you taught them to launder their sheets and make their beds, then you didn’t go wrong. (One can only hope they wash those blankets regularly.)

If possible, invite your

grandchildren for sleepovers so they can experience how the “other half” lives. You would be doing them a favor because children can’t learn what a parent hasn’t taught them.

Dear Abby: I’m a 25-year-old woman and lonely. I’m interested in a guy I have known for years. He’s my older brother’s friend, and we’re only six years apart. When I expressed my interest in him, he politely let me know that he would not date me because of my brother.

Is there a secret code that I’m missing? Is it taboo for a man who is your older brother’s friend to date the younger sibling? I am confused as to why it would matter since we are both adults. – Lonely in Wisconsin Dear Lonely: While it isn’t

“taboo” to date the sibling of a close friend, it can lead to complications if the relationship doesn’t work out. Friendships have become strained or ended because of it.

Not knowing the man you have your sights set on, I can’t speculate whether the reason he gave you was the truth. It could also be that the feelings you have for him are not reciprocated, but regardless – now that you know he isn’t interested, it’s time to look elsewhere for someone to assuage your loneliness.

Stick with ‘good’ carbs as part of good diet Dear Dr. K: In your column you often distinguish between “good” and “bad” carbohydrates. What makes a carb good or bad?

Dear Reader: Carbohydrates – carbs – occur naturally in a variety of foods, from fruits, vegetables and milk, to breads, cereals and legumes.

Carbs are also added to many foods, often in the form of sugar. Your digestive system transforms carbs into glucose (blood sugar). They are your body’s main source of energy.

Whether a carb is “good” or “bad” depends on several factors. Some of the most important are: • Whether they are refined or whole; • Their effect on your blood sugar level; • Their fiber content.

Effect on blood sugar. Your body digests refined carbs and sugars quickly. This causes blood sugar levels to Refined versus whole. Refined rise rapidly following a meal.

The refinement produces bursts of insulin. process strips away many of Insulin lowers blood sugar the original carbohydrate’s levels by driving the sugar valuable nutrients, fiber and from the blood into the cells. vitamins.

That can (On my website, I’ve put a table with examples of healthy lead to Type 2 diabetes.

ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff

Good carbs take longer to digest. As a result, blood sugar and insulin rise slowly and peak at lower levels. Fruits, vegetables and whole grains tend to keep blood sugar levels steady. The pancreas isn’t overworked, and the risk of diabetes is reduced.

Fiber content. There are two types of fiber: insoluble and soluble. Insoluble fiber is found in the skin, peels and husks of fruits, vegetables and whole grains. It passes through your digestive tract without breaking down and helps prevent constipation.

Soluble fiber is chiefly found in oats, legumes (beans and peas) and a part of fruit called pectin. Soluble fiber improves blood sugar levels.

And it decreases the level of LDL cholesterol in the blood,

reducing the risk of heart disease.

Fruits, vegetables and whole grains are good sources of fiber.

For many years, people were told that low-fat diets were healthy. That’s wrong.

Just as there are good and bad carbs, there are good and bad fats. Unfortunately, the low-fat diet craze led many people to substitute carbs for fat as an energy source. Even more unfortunately, the carbs people chose were bad carbs.

So stick with the good carbs and eat a balanced diet.

Music is demanding, should never be drudgery Dr. Wallace: Janet, 15, had been taking piano lessons for over two years and was tired of them because she didn’t enjoy playing and wanted to quit. Her parents wanted her to continue, hoping that one day she would love to play and continue playing the rest of her life. But she was tired of taking lessons and said they were a waste of money.

I was surprised that you agreed she should stop playing the piano. Shame, shame on you!

Are you not aware, Dr.

While I love athletic competition, I would have encouraged his parents to let him drop out. Playing shortstop isn’t for everyone, and neither is playing the piano.

If you do not love the instrument and, after two years, consider your lessons a waste of money, something’s wrong, and you should be allowed to

stop. Music, like athletic competition, is a serious and demanding discipline, but it should never be drudgery.

Parents are right to expose their children to it, but at a certain point whether to continue or not must be the child’s choice.

If this were not the case, music would cease to bring joy to its listeners. Furthermore, you don’t have to be a musician to experience that joy.

8CROSSWORD

The dummy tells you to be active Brian Tracy said, “I’ve found that luck is quite predictable. If you want more luck, take more chances. Be more active. Show up more often.”

In my experience, the better you play, the luckier you will be. And when you are being lucky, press the accelerator to the floor.

This week we are looking at active and passive defense; whether the defenders should try hard to win tricks or should wait for declarer to give them winners.

Often the auction will provide clear evidence of which way to turn. But sometimes it will not help. Then the defenders should study the dummy for guidance – as in this deal.

South is in four hearts.

West leads the diamond two.

After winning with his ace, what should East do next?

The dummy is threatening because that spade suit is surely going to provide declarer with a source of tricks, on which he can discard his losers. East must defend actively by shifting to the club 10. Here, this garners three tricks in the suit to defeat the contract.

Then East should congratulate West on his lead. If he had chosen, say, a trump, declarer would have taken at least 11 tricks.

Finally, defense can be affected by the form of the game.

When you are playing Chicago or Swiss teams or knockout teams, when overtricks are relatively unimportant, follow this week’s guidelines. But when you are competing in a pair event, where overtricks can be like gold-dust, you must be more careful if your active defense is likely to blow a trick.
