Hamstrung by red ink Durbin touts student loan debt refinancing bill at NIU By KATIE DAHLSTROM kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Aysha Flowers would like to save money to buy a house or a car, but instead her extra money goes toward $64,000 in debt from student loans she took out to pay for her Northern Illinois University education.

Family needs help traveling for child’s heart surgery By ANDREA AZZO aazzo@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Between multiple hospital visits and phone calls from school officials, raising 6-year-old Jordan Ervin has been a daily struggle for DeKalb mother Seville Spearman and stepfather Charles Spearman. Jordan was not breathing when he was born June 13, 2008. A feeding tube had to be inserted after

his birth because food was going down his trachea instead of his esophagus. He has also had issues with speech, development, muscle tone, asthma and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. It wasn’t until June 2013 when his parents received a diagnosis: Williams syndrome, a genetic condition that affects 1 in 10,000 people worldwide, according

DeKALB – If you’re planning a party, officials recommend letting your neighbors know – unless you want police knocking on your door. Noise complaints were the second-most-common type of call DeKalb police received last year, right behind calls for suspicious activity. Officers can use their discretion in deciding whether to issue a $100 noise violation ticket, but more serious matters can lead to more serious fines. “If your Loud noise complaints neighbor is having a parYear NIU DeKalb ty at 3 a.m., police police you have an 2013 70 1,371 infant, and 2012 61 1,414 they’ve had 2011 57 1,427 problems before but Source: NIU Police Cmdr.

From 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., the limit is 60 decibels. A running dishwasher or normal conversation reach about 60 decibels, while a whisper is about 30 decibels and a gunshot is about 140 decibels, according to the American Academy of Audiology. Noise complaints have decreased slightly for DeKalb police, but Northern Illinois

At heart of Syria fears, some extremists returning home By KEN DILANIAN and BRADLEY KLAPPER The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The case of Mehdi Nemmouche haunts U.S. intelligence officials. Nemmouche is a Frenchman who authorities said spent 11 months fighting with the Islamic State group in Syria before returning to Europe to act out his rage. On May 24, prosecutors said, he methodically shot four people at the

Jewish Museum in central Brussels. Three died instantly, one afterward. Nemmouche was arrested later, apparently by chance. For U.S. and European counterterrorism officials, that 90-second spasm of violence is the kind of attack they fear from thousands of Europeans and up to 100 Americans who have gone to fight for extremist armies in Syria and now Iraq. The Obama administration

has offered a wide range of assessments of the threat to U.S. national security posed by the extremists who said they’ve established a caliphate, or Islamic state, in an area straddling eastern Syrian and northern and western Iraq, and whose actions include last week’s beheading of American journalist James Foley. Some officials said the group is more dangerous than al-Qaida. Yet intelligence assessments said it currently couldn’t pull off a

complex, 9/11-style attack on the U.S. or Europe. However, there is broad agreement across intelligence and law enforcement agencies of the immediate threat from radicalized Europeans and Americans who could come home to conduct lone-wolf operations. Such plots are difficult to detect because they don’t require large conspiracies of people whose emails or phone calls can be intercepted.

The 2013 Boston Marathon bombings were like that, carried out by radicalized American brothers Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev acting on their own. So was the 2010 attempt to bomb New York’s Times Square by Faisal Shahzad, who received training and direction in Pakistan but operated alone in the United States. On Friday, Britain raised its terror threat from “substantial” to “severe,” its sec-

EDITOR’S NOTE Eric Olson decided to study journalism. It’s not a field known for minting a lot of millionaires. It’s always been a field that people have warned is on the verge of collapse. The popular narrative is that the Internet “killed” newspapers and journalism, but that’s not true. For one, this column is appearing in a newspaper as well as on the Internet, and later I’ll go onto social media and tell all my friends and followers about it. For another, people have been talking about the demise of newspapers since I took up studying them in college, when the Internet was a thing most people accessed over the telephone line with a series of pings followed by that hiss of static. Reporting the news was something I have always wanted to do. The belief that there are more important things in life, and in a career, than becoming rich, gave me the courage and the freedom to pursue my passion. As a result, today I live in a great community and have the privilege to be the editor of its local newspaper. I am truly grateful. What matters: What better feeling is there than coming home after a hard day of work and being able to say, “I accomplished something today.” That’s the great thing about having a job that you like – or can at least tolerate – and do well. You build something, you create something, you process information that helps things get done – the truly fulfilling jobs make us part of

something bigger than ourselves. People talk about retirement like it’s the goal, but sometimes I’m not really sure. The people I know who have been lucky enough to actually make it to retirement say they have no problem keeping busy, but many of them are out working at other things. Whether it’s hanging drywall or making a newspaper, if it’s something you enjoy and at the end of the day, you can be proud of it, then it really shouldn’t matter if you don’t live in the biggest house on the block or buy a new car every year. Although if you do accumulate wealth through your work, that’s a sweet deal, too. New-look Chronicle: Those of you reading the print edition of the Daily Chronicle today might have noticed that it looks different. (Unless, as so many people do, you open directly to page 2 on weekends). The most notable change might be that we’ve abandoned the old English font on the newspaper’s masthead in favor of a font that is simpler and easier to read. We’re also adding some touches atop sections and above page A3, where our local news report always continues inside the newspaper. We haven’t changed our fonts but have changed the way we will use some of them. Anytime a familiar publication changes in appearance, it can take some time for readers to adjust. If you do have any questions or comments about our new look, I’m always happy to hear from you.

By WAYNE PARRY The Associated Press BELMAR, N.J. – Good weather and greater awareness that the Jersey shore has made huge strides in recovering from Superstorm Sandy helped make the second summer after the storm better than the first, many merchants and elected officials said. Some business owners report profits up 20 to 30 percent this summer compared with last year’s, when the shore was still in the early stages of recovering from the devastating October 2012 storm. “This summer was great,” said Matt Riccelli, who manages Gee Gee’s restaurants on the Manasquan beachfront. “We’re all sad to see it end.” Riccelli said his business was up 20 percent this summer from last, when it was still rebuilding and the beach was much narrower before an offseason replenishment project. Weekend weather was mostly sunny. But he and many others said the biggest factor was getting past the images of Sandy’s destruction. “Sandy is a memory at this point,” Riccelli said. “A lot of the construction is done, and more locals who were displaced last year are back in town this year.” Annie’s Ocean Grill has operated from a truck on the Belmar beachfront the past two summers. This year was definitely better, said cook David Gelman. “People see that the beach is back, the boardwalk is here, and that Sandy is gone,” he said. “There’s a sense that the shore is getting back to normal.” To be sure, there is still work to do. The whine of

Work not just about money Labor Day is a great holiday. There’s no societal pressure to be solemn and reflective, no one scolding us that commercialism is overtaking its “true meaning.” It’s a day made for a barbecue. A day to say, “Hey, you work hard. Why don’t you take Monday off?” Don’t mind if I do, and I hope you do the same. But Labor Day’s not just another day off. It’s a good time to be grateful for the jobs we have, or think of those that we want one day. Just remember this Labor Day weekend that it doesn’t matter if you don’t make a lot of money in life. You can’t spend your time worrying about how much other people make and the things that they have. Your salary is not the true measure of your value as a person. Those were messages my parents drummed into my head as a child. They had plenty of opportunities – I went to school with a lot of kids whose parents had big houses and drove fancy cars, and bought their children “cool” expensive clothes – IOU sweatshirts and Z. Cavaricci pants, things like that. My family wasn’t poor, but we certainly weren’t rich. There were times when I wondered if my parents really believed all that anti-materialism stuff, or if they were just trying to make themselves feel better because we weren’t the wealthiest family on the block. But at some point I realized what they were telling me really wasn’t about them. It was about me – what I could become, and what I should not become. Figuring that out was one of the best things that ever happened to me. Had making a lot of money been my key goal, I certainly never would have

People relax and play in the ocean July 23 in Atlantic City, N.J. Good weather and greater awareness that the Jersey shore has made huge strides in recovering from Superstorm Sandy helped make the second summer after the storm better than the first one, many shore merchants and elected officials said. power saws and the thwack of hammers still resonate on summer afternoons in places like Manasquan, the Ortley Beach section of Toms River, and Mantoloking, where work continues on homes wrecked by the storm. But even those places have made sure the beach is ready for visitors. Summer rentals bounced back strongly. Jerry Bennett, a real estate agent with Seashore Agency in Ship Bottom, said his business increased by 30 percent on Long Beach Island. “If you’re driving around LBI, you wouldn’t even realize there was a superstorm here less than two years ago,” he said. “The island is back to normal now and better than ever, because a lot of places got newly renovated. People

have gotten the word that there’s not total devastation here.” Dan MacElrevey said rentals at the six motels he manages in the Wildwoods, three beach communities at the southern tip of the state, were up by 8 percent in July and August. At Maui’s Dog House, a hot dog restaurant that serves its food in dog bowls, saw its sales increase this season, partly because it was still rebuilding in early summer 2013. Jenkinson’s Boardwalk in Point Pleasant Beach also said business was noticeably better this year, although it could not give a percentage increase. Spokeswoman Toby Wolf attributed the improvement to good weather, more available rentals and more out-of-state visitors.

“I’ve always seen some New England license plates here, but this year there seemed to be an abundance of them in the parking lots and driving around the area,” she said. New Jersey charges people for the privilege of walking onto a beach, and beach badge sales were up in many shore towns this summer. Sea Bright Mayor Dina Long said her town, which was pummeled by Sandy, had taken in 50 percent more beach revenue as of Aug. 22 compared with all of summer 2013. Belmar had sold 9,000 more beach badges as of Aug. 24 than it did in the same period last summer, and its beach parking revenue nearly tripled this summer. Ocean City was up by $125,000 at the beginning of August.

Before dealing with his son’s heroin addiction, he thought people with addictions could easily snap out of it.

Jordan scheduled for heart surgery Dec. 8 How to help

• FAMILY Continued from page A1 to the Williams Syndrome Association. Children born with Williams syndrome are missing between 26 and 28 genes on their seventh chromosome, thereby affecting many different organs over the course of their lives, according to the association. Jordan’s most recent trouble is with his heart. He is scheduled to undergo open-heart surgery Dec. 8 at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital in Palo Alto, California, but his family is asking for help in raising $6,000 for airfare and hotel costs. People can donate at www. gofundme.com/Jordansheart. “We can’t do it by ourselves. This will save Jordan’s life,” Charles Spearman said. “Why should people help? Because if you don’t, we won’t have our son in six years.” Jordan’s heart is currently beating three times harder than it should, which is increasing the size of his heart, his parents said. The surgery, which the family expects Medicaid to cover entirely, would correct his six narrowed pulmonary arteries, thereby decreasing the pressure on his heart, Charles Spearman said. The family needs to travel to California to see Dr. Frank Hanley, who has extensive experience in conducting bilateral surgical pulmonary artery rehabilitation, the surgery Jordan needs. A Chicago doctor who trained with Hanley told the Spearmans that Hanley is the only doctor who could perform the surgery. Jordan is the second oldest of four children, and the only boy.

about 20 hours a week at a paid internship with Northern Illinois University’s Department of Communiversity Initiatives. Both parents are also pursuing master’s degrees at NIU. They considered paying for transportation and hotel costs using their student loan refunds, but realized it would not cover the full cost. “We live paycheck to paycheck,” Charles Spearman said. His parents said Jordan is an independent boy who enjoys getting himself dressed and making his own breakfast. One day, he went to school with shoes on the wrong feet and his pants on backward with no underwear, Seville Spearman said, which prompted a phone call from school officials at Tyler Elementary School in DeKalb. Charles and Seville Spearman haven’t told their son about his medical condition, nor does Jordan know he is scheduled to have surgery in December. That may be for the best since Jordan does not forget about anything, his mother said. “He’s still asking me for a doughnut I said he could have three days ago,” Seville Spearman said. “Once he’s doing something, it’s hard to transition him to something else.” Shortly after she said that, Jordan put down his toys and asked for a doughnut, but the Spearmans did not have any doughnuts in their house Thursday.

JOLIET – A 20-year-old woman faces a mandatory life sentence after a judge found her guilty Friday of taking part in a grisly double murder in Joliet last year. The motive, prosecutors said, was robbery to get cash for alcohol and cigarettes. Will County Judge Gerald Kinney, who issued the verdict because Bethany McKee had waived her right to a jury trial, said the crime demonstrated a “stunning lack of respect for human life.” McKee will be sentenced Oct. 16. The victims, Terrance Rankins and Eric Glover, were found strangled in a home with plastic bags over their heads in January 2013. Investigators said both 22-year-olds

had been beaten with liquor bottles. Three other suspects were arrested in the case. Joshua Miner, 26, and Adam Landerman, 21, are awaiting trial, while Alissa Massaro pleaded guilty to robbery and concealment of a homicidal Bethany death in exMcKee change for a 10year prison sentence. Massaro testified during the six-day trial that McKee suggested Rankins as a target because he was thought to carry large amounts of cash. Massaro said McKee made the phone call inviting Rankins and Glover to the house where they were killed for what

turned out to be $120. In a recorded police interview that was played in court, McKee said she wasn’t in the room when the men were killed and later left the house to drop off her 15-month-old daughter with a friend. In final arguments earlier this month, McKee’s attorney, Charles Bretz, argued that his client may have been guilty of other things, but there was no evidence linking her to the murders. Prosecutors said it didn’t matter whether McKee was in the room or not. “When she’s in for a penny, she’s in for a pound,” Assistant State’s Attorney Dan Walsh said. “And when she’s in for the robbery, she’s in for the homicide, too, and that makes her guilty.”

SYCAMORE – Twenty 16- and 17-year-olds were ticketed this month after Sycamore police broke up a party in the 400 block of South Main Street, Sycamore Lt. Darrell Johnson said. Sycamore police received a call about 11:30 p.m. Aug. 16 reporting a suspected underage drinking party, Johnson said. Officers found plastic cups, empty bottles, and teenagers inside the home and on the patio. The teens were cited for underaged drinking or possession of alcohol by a minor and released to their parents.

New challenge for HealthCare.gov: Tax forms

NEWS BRIEFS Mexico authorities stage midnight migrant raid

the border.

SAN RAMON, Mexico – The lumbering freight train known as “The Beast,” a key part of the route for migrants heading north to the United States, rolled to an abrupt, unscheduled stop in the black of midnight. As the train stopped, the area was suddenly flooded with spotlights as agents pounced from both sides of the track, scaling ladders to the tops of the freight cars and shouting: “Federal police! Give up! You’re surrounded! Come down carefully!” About a dozen men, some literally spitting with anger and desperation, were firmly led off the track, an agent’s hand on the back of their necks neck, and taken to waiting vans for processing and deportation. The raid is part of a crackdown that has sharply reduced the number of women and children trying to make their way to the United States, where they turn themselves into the U.S. Border Patrol – an exodus that caused what U.S. leaders call a crisis at

Experimental Ebola drug heals all monkeys in study

By RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR

An experimental Ebola drug healed all 18 monkeys infected with the deadly virus in a study, boosting hopes that the treatment might help fight the outbreak raging through West Africa – once more of it can be made. The monkeys were given the drug, ZMapp, three to five days after they were infected with the virus and when most were showing symptoms. That is several days later than any experimental Ebola treatment tested so far. The drug also completely protected six other monkeys given a slightly different version of it three days after infection in a pilot test. These two studies are the first monkey tests ever done on ZMapp. “The level of improvement was utterly beyond my honest expectation,” said one study leader, Gary Kobinger of the Public Health Agency of Canada in Winnipeg.

WASHINGTON – The federal agency that had trouble launching a health insurance website last fall has a massive new project. Any glitches on this one could delay tax refunds for many Americans. Because of complicated connections between the new health care law and income taxes, the Department of Health and Human Services must send out millions of new tax forms next year. They’re like W-2s for people getting health insurance tax credits under President Barack Obama’s law. The forms are called 1095As, and list who in each household has health coverage, and how much the government paid each month to subsidize those insurance premiums. Nearly 5 million people have gotten subsidies

The Associated Press

“It’s very unrealistic to expect that they would be able to implement a process that distributed these forms in the middle of open enrollment, and on time. George Brandes Vice president for health care programs at Jackson Hewitt Tax Service

through HealthCare.gov. If the forms are delayed past their Jan. 31 deadline, some people may have to wait to file tax returns – and collect their refunds. A delay of a week or two may not sound like much, but many people depend on their tax refunds to plug holes in family finances. The uncertainty is unnerving to some tax preparation companies, which try to run their filing season operations like a military drill. The Obama administration said

it’s on task, but won’t provide much detail. States operating their own health insurance marketplaces will also have to send out the new forms, even if they had website problems. But the biggest job belongs to the federal exchange serving 36 states. HHS will have to manage that while in the midst of running the 2015 health insurance sign-up season, when millions more are expected to try to get coverage. “It’s very unrealistic to expect that they would be able

to implement a process that distributed these forms in the middle of open enrollment, and on time,” said George Brandes, vice president for health care programs at Jackson Hewitt Tax Service. The average tax refund is about $2,690, and people who count on getting money back often file early. Liberty Tax Service vice president Chuck Lovelace said his company is giving the feds the benefit of the doubt but the possibility of delays “is not something we can turn a blind eye to.” “It could have a dramatic impact on our customers,” Lovelace said. “The tax refund is the largest check many consumers get.” Administration spokesman Aaron Albright said officials are “working to develop the technical processes to ensure the forms are generated accurately and timely.”

Majority of NIU students Crime Free Housing Bureau is notified of all citations How loud is too loud? • COMPLAINTS have student loan debt Continued from page A1 By the numbers

Continued from page A1 would allow some student’s interest rates to drop from higher than 7 percent to 3.86 percent. Durbin said the interest legislation would be entirely paid for by enacting the Buffet Rule, which would limit special tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans. Flowers, a 2012 graduate of NIU, has $40,000 in federal loans and $24,000 in private loans she used to pay for her bachelor’s degree in communications. She has to pay $200 a month for her federal loans, which carry up to a 6.8 percent interest rate. “Paying off my student loans would be critical to my life right now,” Flowers said. Fellow 2012 graduate Jessica Ibares, just received notice that the first payment on close to $40,000 in student loans is due in November. She’ll be able to pay about $50 a month, which will only go toward paying off interest. A majority of students who complete their education at NIU have student debt. Rebecca Babel, the director of student financial aid said that about 75 percent of the students who graduate in the 2013-14 school year and completed their entire undergraduate education at

Source: Northern Illinois University NIU. Their average federal loan debt was around $28,000, NIU data shows. Lowering student loan costs could attract more students and prevent them from dropping out under the pressure of insurmountable debt, Baker said. Behind the student loan debt is the rising cost of college. According to data from College Navigator, the average cost to attend NIU for the 2013-14 school year was $28,000, up from about $25,000 only three years earlier. Baker said the rising cost is a reaction to state funding, which has dropped by more than $25 million in the past 12 years. Locally, he said, NIU tries to provide students with programs that will land them a job after graduation while also adjusting personnel costs to avoid more tuition increases.

University officers have seen an uptick. Last year, DeKalb police responded to 1,371 calls for noise complaints, compared wit 1,414 in 2012 and 1,427 in 2011, according to DeKalb Police Department’s 2013 annual report. At NIU, police were called to loud noise complaints 70 times in 2013, 61 in 2012 and 57 in 2011, according to NIU Police Cmdr. Don Rodman. Police officers usually receive noise complaints from neighbors and spend anywhere from a few minutes up to an hour at the scene, depending on how large the party is, Petragallo said. If it’s their first time there,

they ask the homeowner to turn down the noise. If a citation is written, the city’s Crime Free Housing Bureau is notified. The bureau then notifies the property owner if the loud noise was at a rental property. Noise complaints are handled differently at NIU.

If police choose to cite someone for keeping a disorderly house, it leads to a larger fine of $300. Disorderly house citations can be given if someone is using illegal drugs and a neighbor is disturbed by the odor, Petragallo said. “For noise, the best advice is to be respectful to your neighbors,” Petragallo said. “If you plan a party, notify your neighbors so they know.

its citizens from terrorist attacks. The deaths of civilians in Gaza are the responsibility of Hamas because of their deplorable practice of attacking Israel from installations at schools, hospitals, homes, and mosques. 5. Israel is not starving Gaza with a blockade. Since mid-August, Israel has sent Gaza more than 11 million pounds of humanitarian supplies for their citizens, including approximately 2,800 tons of food and 100 tons of medical supplies. The blockade is not meant to starve anyone, and is facilitated as a result of Israel’s

partnership with Egypt. 6. The border fence (wall) around Gaza was constructed to keep terrorists from sneaking into Israel, and has largely been successful in eliminating terror attacks there. Egypt is a partner with Israel in this effort as well. Hultgren is on the right side of this, as are a great many U.S. senators and representatives. We should continue to provide assistance in Israel’s defense against attacks from the Hamas terror organization. Simon Seibert Dekalb

Thumbs-up: To student-athletes on the DeKalb-Sycamore co-op girls swim team, who despite unsettling news this week that their coach had been arrested on charges of sexual assault and sexual abuse, elected to continue with their season. News about the arrest of swim coach Leah Eames shocked the community this week, and no doubt shocked the swimmers as well. Eames, an eighth-year coach who is presumed innocent unless proven otherwise, has been placed on leave from her position as swim coach and as a math teacher at Sycamore High School. Other adults have stepped in to handle coaching duties, and we hope the girls can put the distractions aside and give this season their best effort. Thumbs-down: To legislators pushing for statewide regulation on ridesharing companies. On Monday, Gov. Pat Quinn vetoed two proposals that would have required background checks and insurance requirements, and required any drivers who work more than 36 hours over a two-week period to have a chauffeur’s license, with all drivers required to carry commercial liability insurance. The proposals, which were pushed by lobbyists for traditional taxi companies, would have hamstrung a nascent industry that many say provides better service than taxis do. Thumbs-up: To cool Corn Fest uniforms. When the Northern Illinois football team took the field in their season opener Thursday, they were wearing special uniforms commemorating Corn Fest, DeKalb’s signature community music festival. Corn Fest organizers are auctioning the jerseys online today through Friday at www.cornfest.com, and proceeds will benefit the Voluntary Action Center, Boy Scout Troop No. 33, and the Canaday family. The auction was conceived as a way to showcase the improved relations between the city of DeKalb and NIU, and the proceeds will benefit worthy causes. Thumbs-up: To U.S. Little League champions the Jackie Robinson West All Stars of Chicago. Through their hard work and grace, the 13 boys on this team reminded America that there is more on the South Side of Chicago than the crime we hear about in news reports. The boys were stellar ambassadors for the city, and provided a ray of good news. Thumbs-up: To progress on the Evergreen Village Mobile Home buyout. As of early this week, county leaders had purchased all but seven of the 121 mobile homes in the flood-prone park just outside Sycamore. Leaders have until June 30 to restore the area to open space as part of a long-term, grant-funded plan, but relocating before school started was in the best interests of the families with students. County leaders have been planning this project for so long that it’s gratifying to see the project so close to its next milestone. Thumbs-up: To community traditions. DeKalb’s annual Corn Fest celebrating the city and welcoming Northern Illinois University students to town is happening this weekend. Events include something for everyone – lots of music, a carnival, a vintage car show, a bike rally and a free corn boil. Let’s hope the weather holds this year.

ANOTHER VIEW VIEWS

A problem much bigger than Ferguson The international spotlight has been shining on Ferguson, Missouri, after an 18-year-old black man was fatally shot by a white police officer there. There was massive national and international media coverage, much of it engendered by the tantalizing thought that here was a clear-cut case of racism leading to police brutality and indicative of the evil inherent in American society. Violent demonstrations and riots ensued, with massive property damage and many outside agitators descending on the town, supposedly to guarantee justice as defined by mob mentality. Perhaps it would be useful to examine the tragedy with the facts on the table rather than through the lenses of hypersensitized emotions stimulated by those attempting to exploit the situation. Michael Brown was 6-foot-4 and 290 pounds. He had marijuana in his system and was purportedly involved in a strongarm robbery before the shooting. He and a companion were walking in the middle of the street and obstructing traffic and therefore were admonished by a police officer to move to the sidewalk. Brown, who may have been pharmacologically impaired, became belligerent, and the ensuing struggle produced facial trauma and an orbital fracture of the police officer’s face. The officer, who may have been dazed by a blow to the cranium severe enough to produce a fracture, attempted to apprehend the assailant, and shots were fired, six of which struck the suspect, resulting in a fatality. Regardless of one’s position on the political spectrum, we can all agree that this was

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Putin must pay for his aggression If any international norm can still be called uncontroversial, it is the stricture against cross-border aggression by one sovereign state against another. Certainly any failure to enforce it in one place invites violations elsewhere. That is why Vladimir Putin’s decision to send Russian forces openly into Ukraine is a watershed, not a mere “continuation of what’s been taking place for months,” as President Barack Obama understated the case Thursday. If Putin does not pay a high price for this naked, if still cynically denied, attack on his neighbors, the precedent could sow instability far and wide – from the Baltic Sea, ringed by small, free states with large Russian minorities, to the South China Sea, dotted with islands that China covets but other countries claim. The reasons for Putin’s escalation, after months of destabilizing Ukraine through more covert means, may be only guessed. Ukraine’s military has made gains against Russian-instigated “separatists” in two key cities, Luhansk and Donetsk, and Putin may have felt that he could not abandon them without incurring political risk in Moscow. The Russian army’s move on Novoazovsk, well to the south of these contested areas, relieved the pressure on them – and perhaps foreshadows seizing a land corridor to Crimea, which Putin absorbed through force and chicanery six months ago but has struggled to resupply by air and sea since. Putin’s strategic goal could be even grander: the takeover of southeastern Ukraine, which he calls “New Russia,” and its incorporation into his ballyhooed Eurasian Union. Given the global repercussions of this struggle, the U.S. and its allies cannot afford to let Putin break the rules. It is time to hit Russia with the full brunt of financial sanctions, to supply Ukraine with the arms and intelligence it needs to defend its territorial integrity (which Russia itself once pledged to respect), to halt all military sales to Russia by Western nations – and to bolster the neglected North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Obama made little effort Thursday to explain or defend the “broader principle” that he said is at stake in Europe. Nations around the world that rely on U.S. leadership and its commitment to the rule of law can only hope that he brings more passion to the cause at what deserves to be a historic NATO summit in Wales next week.

NORTHERN ILLINOIS FOOTBALL

QB competition still in full swing By STEVE NITZ snitz@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Northern Illinois quarterbacks Matt McIntosh, Anthony Maddie and Drew Hare spent spring practice and fall camp battling for the Huskies’ starting job. The competition extended into Thursday night’s season opener against Presbyterian, as each quarterback got playing time. After the 55-3 win against the struggling Football Championship Subdivision school, NIU coach Rod Carey said he liked what he saw from all three. “I’m going to have to go back and look at [the film]. My gut right now is that they all three played really well, but these two (Hare and McIntosh)

Hare took over in the second quarter and was

under center for five drives, with his final pass a 49-yard touchdown to Juwan Brescacin. Maddie got into the game after it was out of hand. McIntosh was impressive, going 10 of 14 for 87 yards and a touchdown – a 39-yarder to senior receiver Da’Ron Brown. “It felt great,” McIntosh said. “Coach (Bob) Cole had a great call, the offensive line gave me a great pocket and Da’Ron Brown is a great wide receiver, so all I had to do was throw it up and let him get it.” Hare struggled at first, but ended up with a good performance, going 8 of 13 for 100 yards and a touchdown. He also ran for 59 yards. Maddie played with the backups, and threw only four passes, completing one for 24 yards.

The question is: How much longer will the competition last? At the beginning of spring practice, when the battle began, Carey said he wanted to play one quarterback. However, with everything being as close as it was, Carey went with a rotation Thursday. Carey wouldn’t rule out playing multiple quarterbacks Sept. 6 against Northwestern. “Right now, it’s tough to argue with what we just did,” Carey said. “So you make the case that way, but then you watch film, you may make a case another way. We’ll see.” Danielle Guerra – dguerra@shawmedia.com It’s possible the public won’t know the starter until NIU quarterback Matt McIntosh tries to elude Presbyterian defender whoever it is takes the first DeRon Dickey during the first quarter of the Huskies’ home opener NIU snap at Ryan Field next Thursday night at Huskie Stadium in DeKalb.

Weather wreaks havoc By EDDIE CARIFIO ecarifio@shawmedia.com For the second straight season, Mother Nature blitzed area football teams on the first night fo the season. At least four of the five area teams had their games delayed or postponed Friday night by inclement weather, repeating what happened in 2013. “We just decided what was best

for the athletes was, we’re going to be sitting around for another hour, but that’s not good for the kids,” Sycamore athletic director Chauncey Carrick said of the school’s decision to push its game until today. “Both these teams have high expectations, so we need to make sure all these kids are healthy and not putting the kids in danger.” Sycamore started 20 minutes late because the sophomore game ran long. The Spartans and Lin-

coln-Way West played most of the first quarter, but the lightning was sighted with 1:33 remaining and the players and fans were ordered off the field. Officials waited less than an hour to decide to reschedule the game for 6 p.m. today. It will resume in a scoreless tie. For the Spartans and Warriors, they must be feeling a little cursed. It’s the third straight meeting within a year that rain has messed with their game. The opener last year

was pushed back a day because of lightning. It also rained for most of the game when the teams met in the Class 5A state quarterfinals. “It’s just what happens,” Sycamore coach Joe Ryan said. “It’s not what you want because everybody is ready to play. But like I told the kids last year, we still get a game. We’ll play tomorrow night, and that’s the exciting thing.”

The Northern Illinois men’s soccer team opened its season with a scoreless draw against Hofstra on Friday afternoon at the Lakeside Classic in Evanston. NIU goalkeeper Andrew Glaeser made two saves in the match. “I was disappointed in the quality of our soccer,” NIU coach Eric Luzzi said in a news release. “I thought we were pretty poor on the day. But as I told the guys, Hofstra is a very difficult team to play against. They are strong, they are physical, they pump balls forward and their entire team is 6-foot-plus. In the last year or two we would have lost that game, but I was pleased with our spirit, our fight and our battle mentality.” The Huskies are back in action at 11 a.m. Sunday, when they take on Quinnipiac at the Lakeside Classic.

Indiana faces Sky, with Delle Donne back INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana coach Lin Dunn’s impending retirement isn’t adding extra motivation for the Fever to win the Eastern Conference finals. Although they’d like to send the Hall of Fame coach off on a high note with a WNBA championship, remembering the feeling of winning the 2012 title is enough incentive. Today, the Fever open the Eastern Conference finals at home against the Sky. “I think right now we just want to win another championship,” Shavonte Zellous said. “Yeah, it would be nice to send coach out on a good note, but we also want to do it for ourselves.” The Fever, who swept the Washington Mystics in the semifinals, topped the Sky 3-2 in the regular-season series. However, the Sky have a scoring threat that the Fever hasn’t seen much of this season. Elena Delle Donne scored 23 points against Indiana in the season opener before missing 18 games with a recurrence of Lyme disease.

49ers linebacker Smith suspended by NFL SANTA CLARA, Calif. – San Francisco 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith has been suspended for nine games by the NFL after a series of off-field legal issues.

Smith won’t be eligible to return until Nov. 10, the day after the 49ers’ game against the New Orleans Saints.

Miksha said in an email he cannot “provide any details of – or even verify the existence of – an agreement unless and until one” is filed Tuesday with Hamilton Superior Court or at a later date. Messages seeking comment were left Friday with Irsay’s attorney, Jim Voyles. – Staff, wire reports

Cubs rookie Jorge Soler drops his bat after hitting a two-run home run against the Cardinals in the eighth inning Friday night at Busch Stadium in St. Louis. The Cubs won, 7-2.

CUBS 7, CARDINALS 2

Young stars lead the way By R.B. FALLSTROM The Associated Press ST. LOUIS – Jorge Soler hit two homers and fellow rookie Javier Baez had a tiebreaking, two-run double in the eighth inning off All-Star reliever Pat Neshek as the Cubs beat the St. Louis Cardinals, 7-2, Friday night. The Cardinals lost in the return of star catcher Yadier Molina. He had been out since July 9 because of a torn ligament in

his right thumb, and went 0 for 3 and was hit by a pitch. The crowd at Busch Stadium gave Molina a standing ovation when he walked in from the bullpen after pregame warmups, and another cheer before he batted in the first inning. Neshek (6-1) led NL relievers with an 0.81 ERA entering the game. It was 2-all when he came in to begin the eighth, and he gave up hits to the first three batters.

Neil Ramirez (2-1) allowed two hits in a scoreless seventh. Cubs starter Kyle Hendricks worked six solid innings in his bid to become the franchise’s first rookie to win five games in August. Soler hit his second homer of the season on Shelby Miller’s first pitch of the seventh to tie it at 2. In his next at-bat, Soler hit a two-run shot in the eighth. Soler finished 3 for 3. Luis Valbuena and Aris-

mendy Alcantara also homered for the Cubs, with all four Cubs drives estimated at 400feet plus. They entered with 30 homers this month, tied for most in the NL. Cubs reliever Justin Grimm struck out four in the ninth. One of the batters reached on Grimm’s wild pitch. Matt Holliday and Jhonny Peralta had RBI singles in the St. Louis first. After Peralta’s hit, Hendricks retired 11 in a row.

TIGERS 7, WHITE SOX 1

Verlander baffles scuffling White Sox The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – Justin Verlander turned in one of his most effective outings this year and once again beat the White Sox, leading the Detroit Tigers to a 7-1 victory Friday night. The contending Tigers won for the fifth time in six games.

The Sox have lost nine of 10. Verlander (12-11) beat the Sox for the 14th time in 18 decisions since June 10, 2009 – the most wins by any pitcher against a single team in that span. The former AL MVP allowed one run and nine hits in seven innings. It was the first time this year that he allowed

fewer than two runs in a game. Verlander matched his season high with eight strikeouts and walked two. J.D. Martinez had a double and two singles for Detroit. The Tigers got 13 hits, including five doubles. Scott Carroll (5-9) took the loss but didn’t get much sup-

port in the field. The Sox made four errors, contributing to four unearned runs. First baseman Jose Abreu had three hits for the Sox, but his two errors helped the Tigers score five times in the fourth for a 7-1 lead. He left the game after the seventh because of an apparent hamstring injury.

Errani’s ‘cottage cheese’ serve tops V. Williams By HOWARD FENDRICH The Associated Press

NASCAR driver Tony Stewart signs autographs as he makes his way to his car Friday to practice for Sunday’s race at Atlanta Motor Speedway in Hampton, Ga. Sunday’s race will be his first since his car struck and killed a fellow driver during a sprint race in New York three weeks ago.

NASCAR

Stewart back at the track, looking to heal By PAUL NEWBERRY The Associated Press HAMPTON, Ga. – Tony Stewart took his seat on the podium – unshaven, his eyes glassy – and unfolded a sheet of paper. His voice quivered as he read, pausing to maintain his composure as he described the death of a driver he hit as “one of the toughest tragedies I’ve ever had to deal with.” This was a far cry from the brash driver known around the track as “Smoke.” Ninety minutes later, he climbed into his No. 14 car and sped toward the high-banked oval at Atlanta Motor Speedway, drawing a cheer from the crowd gathered around his garage. He quickly got up to speed, turning laps of nearly 190 mph, a racer back in his element. Ready or not, Stewart is back on the track. Describing himself as heartbroken but eager to heal, Stewart rejoined the race for the

NASCAR Sprint Cup championship surrounded by those he considers a second family – his team, his crew, his rivals. He missed the last three races, going into seclusion after the sprint car he was driving struck and killed 20-yearold Kevin Ward Jr., who had stepped on the track to confront him during a race. He’ll get back to work as an investigation continues in upstate New York. Authorities said Friday that the probe into the cause of the crash will last at least another two weeks. No decision has been made about whether Stewart will face charges. “This is something that will definitely affect my life forever,” Stewart said. “This is a sadness and a pain I hope no one has to experience in their life. That being said, I know that the pain and mourning that Kevin Ward’s family and friends are experiencing is something that I can’t possibly imagine.”

He mentioned Ward’s parents and three sisters by name, saying he wanted them “to know that every day I’m thinking about them and praying for them.” Stewart took no questions about Ward’s death because of the ongoing investigation, and said he wasn’t sure if he had the emotional strength to answer them anyway. But his timid, halting delivery presented a much different side to a racer whose infamous temper has sparked clashes with the media and fellow drivers. It was business as usual when Stewart switched to his racing suit. He signed autographs. He talked with his crew about the car’s setup. He chatted up Kurt Busch. Behind the wheel, Stewart looked as though he had never been away. He advanced to the final round of qualifying before settling for the 12th starting spot in Sunday night’s race with a speed of 187.907 mph.

G-K trailed St. Edward, 17-14, at half • PREP FOOTBALL Continued from page B1 DeKalb and Genoa-Kingston each planned on playing their games late into Friday night. The Barbs didn’t start their game until 9:50 p.m. because of the lightning. Game stories for both appear on the Daily-Chronicle.com website. G-K trailed St. Edward, 1714, at halftime when lightning forced a long delay, with the game resuming about 9:40 p.m. The Genoa-Kingston football team was driving down the field to close out an eventful first half. Jesse Bade punched it in from 2 yards out and after Joe Murray completed the two-point conversion, the Cogs only trailed St. Edward, 17-14.

The halftime whistle blew, the lightning started and the rain began to pour. The referees called for a 30-minute rain delay that stretched on for almost two hours. The first-half excitement began on the Cogs’ opening play from scrimmage. Hunter Roger fumbled and the Green Wave recovered. On the ensuing play, Dwayne Allen Jr. ran into the end zone for a 9-yard score. After a Joe French’s field goal gave St. Edward a 10-0 lead, the Cogs came to life. G-K strung together a 14-play, 80-yard drive, capped off by a Griffin McNeal 2-yard touchdown run. St. Edward pushed the lead back to 11 points when Danny Favela returned a Cogs punt

40-yards to the end zone with 3:01 remaining in the first half. G-K immediately responded with a nine-play drive. McNeal’s 21-yard run early in the drive set the tone. Bade’s score gave the Cogs all of the momentum heading into the break. McNeal finished the first half with 38 yards rushing and a touchdown. Murray rushed for 28 yards and Bade collected 36 yards and a touchdown. Kaneland and Chicago Brooks had their game postponed until 6 p.m. today, as well. Hiawatha coach Sean Donnelly could not be reached for comment, although the Mooseheart twitter account indicated it led the Hawks 6-0.

Roland, Mastrud, Edwards, Turner also cut • BEARS Continued from page B1 got reps on special teams in the preseason. I thought I did well.” In the preseason opener against the Eagles, Lynch had seven carries for 24 yards. He did run for a first down on third-and-one against the Browns. “I went out there every day, 100 percent in practice. Obviously, my reps were limited in game time, but I thought I made the most of it every time I came out,” said Lynch, who did not respond to a text message seeking comment Friday afternoon. Four veteran cuts: In addition to waiving Lynch, the Bears terminated the contracts of four vested veterans

Friday: offensive tackle Dennis Roland, tight end Jeron Mastrud, receiver Armanti Edwards and offensive lineman Robert Turner. Of the four, Roland was the only one potentially on the roster bubble. The 6-foot-9, 315-pounder joined the Bears during camp July 31, and he worked as the second-team right tackle while Michael Ola moved up to first team when Jordan Mills and Eben Britton were nursing injuries. The 31-year-old has 30 career starts and spent part of his childhood living in Bourbonnais. Edwards signed with the Bears on June 3 to join the return competition on special teams, but he always was buried on the depth chart. In the preseason, Edwards had four catches for 22 yards and did

not have a return. Mastrud joined the team after minicamp, and the former Raider and Dolphin was the No. 4 tight end after Zach Miller’s foot injury. He had nine catches for 51 yards in the preseason and led skill players with 38 snaps against the Browns. Turner was a late addition to the offensive line for depth purposes after Brian de la Puente’s injury. The roster is at 70 players, and the Bears have to release 17 more to get to a 53-man roster by this afternoon. Palmer cut: In Buffalo, the Bills released former Bears quarterback Jordan Palmer. He had only a few days to learn the offense and completed 9 of 22 passes against the Lions on Thursday night, including three interceptions.

NEW YORK – A day before facing Venus Williams – and a partisan crowd – at the U.S. Open, Italy’s Sara Errani came across a video posted on Twitter that gave her a little extra motivation. It showed a pair of former players and coaches, Brad Gilbert and Darren Cahill, forecasting Friday at Flushing Meadows. Both picked Williams to win. The 13th-seeded Errani’s ears perked up particularly when Gilbert referred to her “cottage cheese” serve and predicted she’d win only Sara Errani four games. So much for that. In a riveting third-round match of wild momentum swings, the 19th-seeded Williams, a twotime U.S. Open champion, came within two points of victory four times before succumbing to Errani, 6-0, 0-6, 7-6 (5). As if needing a reminder of what she’d seen online, Errani was interviewed for TV by Cahill before the match, and by Gilbert afterward. “Let’s just say that during the match, I thought about that (video) more than once,” said Errani, who pounded her chest with a fist and put a finger to her lips on court as if to hush doubters – or the loud folks in Arthur Ashe Stadium pulling for her American opponent. Williams is 34, dealing with an autoimmune disease, and hasn’t been to the fourth round at a major since 2011. She also

Women’s seeded winners: Third Round: No. 9 Jelena Jankovic, No. 10 Caroline Wozniacki, No. 13 Sara Errani and No. 14 Lucie Safarova Women’s seeded losers: No. 2 Simona Halep, No. 6 Angelique Kerber, No. 18 Andrea Petkovic, No. 19 Venus Williams, No. 22 Alize Cornet and No. 28 Roberta Vinci Top players on court today: Men, Third Round: No. 1 Novak Djokovic vs. Sam Querrey, No. 3 Stan Wawrinka vs. Blaz Kavcic, No. 5 Milos Raonic vs. Victor Estrella Burgos, No. 8 Andy Murray vs. Andrey Kuznetsov, Women, Third Round: No. 1 Serena Williams vs. Varvara Lepchenko, No. 3 Petra Kvitova vs. Aleksandra Krunic, No. 7 Eugenie Bouchard vs. No. 30 Barbora Zahlavova Strycova, No. 16 Victoria Azarenka vs. Elena Vesnina – The Associated Press played a doubles match Thursday with her sister Serena that lasted about 2½ hours and finished shortly before 8 p.m. “I guess the schedule definitely wasn’t ideal,” Williams said. “It was just such a late match.” After losing to Errani, Williams went on court again for

doubles and won that one, although she was treated by a trainer. Williams did not blame injury or fatigue for the way she failed to close out Errani, including getting broken while serving at 5-3 in the third. “I went for too much,” explained Williams, 3-0 against Errani until Friday. “She just played one of the best matches of her life,” Williams added. Errani is listed at 5-foot4½ – 8½ inches shorter than Williams – and truly, there is just as big a disparity in their serving. Errani’s top speed Friday was 88 mph, about 30 mph slower than Williams. Errani’s second serves were in the low 60s mph, but she got 86 percent of her first serves in. “I know [people] say my serve is terrible, but it helped me get to where I’ve been,” Errani said. “It’s not easy to improve it. It’s definitely one of my weak points, but today it helped me.” Her next opponent will be another surprise winner: 32-year-old qualifier Mirjana Lucic-Baroni of Croatia, who eliminated No. 2-seeded Simona Halep of Romania, 7-6 (6), 6-2. Lucic-Baroni hadn’t reached the fourth round at a major since getting to Wimbledon’s semifinals in 1999. “I feel,” she said, “like a little kid; like this is the first time ever.” Half of the top eight seeded women already are out, with Halep joining No. 6 Angelique Kerber (beaten 6-1, 7-5 Friday by 17-year-old Belinda Bencic of Switzerland), and earlier losers No. 4 Agnieszka Radwanska and No. 8 Ana Ivanovic.

RICE AT NOTRE DAME, 2:30 P.M. TODAY, NBC

Irish open season under academic cloud By TOM COYNE The Associated Press SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Notre Dame opens the season short-handed for the second straight season because of academic troubles. A year after starting quarterback Everett Golson missed the season because of academic impropriety, five players are being held out indefinitely while the university investigates whether they received improper help on homework and papers. That includes three starters, two on defense. That might hamper the Irish again, especially the young and inexperienced defense. The Irish will be without starting cornerback KeiVarae Russell, starting defensive end Ishaq Williams, two defensive reserves as well as leading receiver DaVaris Daniels. Coach Brian Kelly said it’s important for the Irish to get off to a strong start against Rice, particularly on defense. “There’s going to be some times during the season where

we’re going to have to slow down and have some conversations with some guys and make sure that we don’t lose them,” Kelly said. “Because the only way you can continue to move this group ahead is if they don’t lose their confidence.” Rice is coming off a 10-4 season where the Owls won their first outright conference title in 57 years and are expected to challenge in Conference USA again. Rice quarterback Driphus Jackson said the team is more confident heading into Notre Dame Stadium than it was heading into last year’s opener at Texas A&M. “I feel like a lot of the guys are not looking at it as this huge team we’re going against. I think we understand that we can compete with just about anybody in the nation. We’re looking forward to going out there and making a statement,” he said. Things to watch today when Rice faces Notre Dame: Golson returns: Golson said he has a greater appreciation for football after spending

Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly (right) talks with quarterback Everett Golson during practice Aug. 9 in South Bend, Ind. Golson has reclaimed the job as Notre Dame’s starting quarterback after being suspended last semester for academic impropriety. a season watching the Irish games on TV. “I’ve had time to evaluate. I’ve had time to see different things being away from the game, so it means a lot more now,” Golson said. “I’m just so

grateful just for the opportunity to be back here because it could have been another way.” Rice defensive tackle Christian Covington said the Owls are taking a similar approach to preparing for Golson as

they did last season for Johnny Manziel, “because he’s that caliber of a player.” “He’s a great quarterback. ... He’s a very fast runner. He’s a read-option threat. He also can throw the ball pretty well,” he said. More pressure: The Owls are looking to put more pressure on opposing quarterbacks after managing only 20 sacks last season, ranking 104th out of 123 teams last season. “We made an emphasis that we want to be able to get to the quarterback and apply more pressure,” Covington said. Watching film: Rice coach David Bailiff said his staff has had to watch more film than usual to get ready for Notre Dame because the Irish are expected to look a lot different on offense with the return of a mobile quarterback and a new style under defensive coordinator Brian VanGorder. “You look at Golson’s year and then you look at last year for some personnel groupings. So you had to watch a lot more video than normally you would just to get a little

bearing of what they’re going to do the first game,” Bailiff said. “Same thing with the defensive coordinator. You can’t look at last year’s video, so you just try to look at some of his stops and what he likes to do.” FieldTurf: The game will mark the debut of Notre Dame’s new FieldTurf, a change from grass that upset some alumni. Kelly said the team practiced in Notre Dame Stadium on Thursday and the artificial surface made it feel 10 to 15 degrees warmer, noting “the rubber and sand definitely make a difference in there.” The forecast calls for temperatures in the low 80s with possible thunderstorms. Sellout streak: Notre Dame lists today’s game vs. Rice as the 238th straight sellout at Notre Dame, saying it has sold out every game since a Thanksgiving Day game against Air Force in 1973. However, tickets still were available on the university website Friday. Senior associate athletic director John Heisler said the school is confident the game will sell out.

YOUNGSTOWN ST. AT ILLINOIS, 11 A.M. TODAY, BTN

Illini, Lunt look for a quick start By DAVID MERCER The Associated Press CHAMPAIGN – If Illinois is stressing anything before today’s opener against Youngstown State, it is the need to start fast. Quarterback Wes Lunt said the Illini can’t go in or out of the locker room without getting the message. “There’s videos (playing) right outside the locker room of a drag strip,” he said. Wes Lunt A fast start would suit Lunt. The redshirt sophomore will start his first game at Illinois today, and it comes with great expectations. He’s a better passer than Illinois has had in a while. The fast start is important for the Illini, who are coming off a 4-8 season. “We didn’t do that last year, we did not start fast,” coach Tim Beckman said.

For all his talent, Lunt is being asked to do more now as a quarterback than he ever has, Illinois offensive coordinator Bill Cubit said. And he hasn’t played a game in more than a season. So fans should have some patience, Cubit suggested. “Really, Wes, if you ask him, at Oklahoma State he wasn’t asked to do too much,” Cubit said. “This offense, there’s so much to go on. ... It’s the run checks, its protections, there’s matchups.” Lunt, he said, is going to make mistakes. The upside? “He doesn’t make the same mistake twice.” Lunt grew up in Rochester just outside Springfield, but hasn’t played football in Illinois since 2011. He chose Oklahoma State out of high school and, as anxious Illini fans know all too well, earned the starting spot there as a true freshman before losing it to injury. His last game in Illinois? The 2011 state high school title game on campus at Memorial Stadium.

CAL AT NORTHWESTERN, 2:30 P.M. TODAY, ABC

After eventful offseason, NU meets California By ANDREW SELIGMAN The Associated Press EVANSTON – Northwestern hopes the headlines finally will focus on victories. The Wildcats enter the season hoping to capture attention for their play rather than their leading role in the college unionization debate, and it starts with today’s opener against California. “I think everybody that’s associated with college football is always excited this week,” coach Pat Fitzgerald said. Considering everything Pat Fitzgerald that’s happened in recent months, that might be more than just coachspeak where Northwestern is concerned. Besides serving as ground zero for a movement that could alter the college landscape with former quarterback Kain Colter leading the push to form the first union for college athletes, the Wildcats took some big hits with the unexpected losses of some key players. Front-line receiver Christian Jones and defensive tackle Sean McEvilly suffered season-ending injuries, and star running back Venric Mark decided to transfer. Those were big blows for a

team coming off a 5-7 season, particularly the loss of Mark. He missed most of last season because of a broken ankle after rushing for 1,366 yards as a junior in 2012 and was granted a medical hardship by the Big Ten that gave him a fifth year. But instead of a triumphant return, he got suspended for the first two games for violating a team rule. The school announced two weeks ago he was transferring to play closer to his family in Texas. As for the unionization issue, that still is looming in the background. The effort started to pick up momentum last season and the team voted in April, shortly after National Labor Relations Board regional director Peter Ohr ruled that the Wildcats’ scholarship football players were “employees.” The NLRB impounded the ballots pending an appeal by the university so the results of the vote are not known. A more immediate concern is today’s game, the start of what both teams hope will be a rebound season. California went 1-11 last year, its first under Sonny Dykes. The lone win was against lower-division Portland State after losing the season-opener to Northwestern. The Golden Bears lost their final 10 games and have dropped 16 straight to FBS opponents.

MID-AMERICAN CONFERENCE FOOTBALL

Eagles hope gray turf brings success By MIKE HOUSEHOLDER The Associated Press YPSILANTI, Mich. – The green artificial turf at Rynearson Stadium didn’t do Eastern Michigan’s football team any favors over the past decade, so the team hopes a switch to gray might give it a fresh outlook. If it looks like a factory floor, that’s by design. “Hey, a factory’s a place where you go to work, you know? It’s blue-collar, and you get better. Things are built there,” the team’s new coach, Chris Creighton, said

Huskies visit NIU visits Rynearson Stadium on Oct. 25 at a time yet to be announced. after a recent preseason practice at the Ypsilanti stadium, which the school has dubbed “The Factory.” The switch to gray FieldTurf is part of Creighton’s broader efforts to change the culture of the team, which won two or fewer games in four of the past five seasons. Creighton led Drake to a 44-22 record in six seasons

before taking over the Eagles from Ron English. English’s teams won 11 games during his five years as coach, and he was fired, in part, for using inappropriate language during a film session. Eastern Michigan plans to pay for the new field with some of the more than $1 million it expects to receive for playing games at Florida and Michigan State this season. Creighton said he doesn’t know if the new-look turf is “going to help us with our special teams and turnovers, blocking and tackling. But it’s ours. And we love it.”

So do the players, who are excited by their team’s standing as one of only two in the Football Bowl Subdivision – the other is Boise State – with playing surfaces in their stadiums that are not a shade of the traditional green. “Having gray turf, that’s something that no else in the nation has. It’s unique, and it’s something that puts us on people’s minds,” said Lincoln Hansen, a redshirt senior offensive lineman. The first game of the Creighton (and gray turf) era will be today against Morgan State.

‘the talk’ Sex educator gives tips for parents on ‘The Talk’ By LEANNE ITALIE The Associated Press

ne of the first things Al Vernacchio does in his high school Sexuality and Society class is stand at a podium in a sweater vest and tie surrounded by a wall packed with slogans: RESIST HOMOPHOBIA. FIGHT SEXISM. ENJOY LIFE. What he doesn’t do: pass around anatomy drawings or hand out safe sex pamphlets, though he makes those available near the door. Vernacchio has been in the sex education field for more than 20 years, currently teaching ninth- and 12-graders in the Philadelphia suburb of Wynnewood. He’s seen the rise of the abstinence movement, the digital revolution and the impact on teens of parents who don’t know how to get the sex conversation started. “Data shows that when kids enter high school, the vast majority, like 75 percent, have not had sexual intercourse, but that number switches by the time they graduate, when more than half of them have,” Vernacchio said. Yet many kids, he said in a recent interview, shut down their parents when they start to talk about sex. That’s one reason he’s written “For Goodness Sex,” out in September from HarperCollins. A conversation with Al Vernacchio:

AP: How has the sex talk changed with the rise of the Internet and social media? Vernacchio: I think parents get very afraid sometimes of the huge amount of information that kids can access today. We need to help kids figure out

what kind of information is useful, what is just, for lack of a better word, propaganda, or what’s marketing or what’s information that doesn’t really have their best interests at heart.

about how men and women relate to each other on the show.

AP: What are today’s pitfalls in talking to kids about sex?

Vernacchio: My book starts from the premise that if we start the conversations with a fundamental belief that sexuality is a good thing, a force for good, we can actually help our kids achieve and develop healthy sexuality to have successful relationships that they want. I’ve never yet met a parent who has said to me I never ever ever want my kid to have sex. At some point they do want their kids to be in a sexual relationship – a loving intimate passionate fun sexual relationship. If that’s really part of the end goal, how does that change the way we start the conversation? You don’t start by saying, ‘Look, this is really dangerous’ and then magically at some point it becomes OK. If all kids hear is, ‘No, don’t, be careful, danger, but go have a healthy relationship,’ they have no clue how to do that. Start to make clear early on things like the difference between sex for the sake of pleasure, sex for the sake of intimacy, sex for the sake of romance. How are they different? Is there a place in one’s life for sex for the purpose of just pleasure or fun, and if there is, how do we know that? And how is that different than sex when you’re trying to establish a connection with somebody? I don’t think people are asking parents to have those kinds of conversations.

Vernacchio: Parents need to come at those conversations not from an orientation of disaster but rather from the premise that our sexuality is a force for good, a positive force. That changes the conversation. It’s not very helpful for young people to hear long lists of things they shouldn’t do and the dangers they will face. AP: With technology, have parents been cut out of the equation on how their teens learn about sex, safety and birth control? Vernacchio: Some data says kids really do want to hear from their parents but don’t want to have to ask. That’s why parents need to be peppering all of their everyday conversations with messages about healthy sexuality and value clarification and things like that. AP: What are your best tips for parents who are uncomfortable initiating conversations about sex and sexuality? Vernacchio: Look at what TV they’re watching, what media they’re consuming. That’s often a way to see what they’re interested in. If kids are into watching ‘Game of Thrones,’ for example, there’s a lot going on there about gender and relationships, so one of the ins could be asking them if they think

AP: There are lots of parenting books out there. What do you bring to the table?

Winemaker promoted at Chateau Montelena Matthew Crafton knows he is part of history. In June, he was promoted from assistant winemaker to winemaker at Chateau Montelena in Napa Valley, California. Even though Crafton ran the white wine program at Chateau Montelena, he becomes just the fifth winemaker in the history of the iconic winery. His journey as winemaker begins with the 2014 harvest, which is challenged by the third straight year of severe drought in California. It gives him a chance to capture what Chateau Montelena does so well – tell the story of the vintage.

Winemaker spotlight Crafton thinks in terms of evolution rather than revolution. “There’s no magical formula I received when I was promoted,” Crafton quipped. “There’s not a key to a locker with the 1973 formula. We look at every vintage as a challenge rather than a chance to replicate past success. We want to continually refine what we do and make more elegant and complex wines.” That is exactly what Crafton plans to do with the 2014 vintage. Despite a three-year drought, the 2014 crop yields are only slightly lower than 2013. A rain storm arrived four weeks before bud break, but as winemakers around California have reported, the fruit is still of high quality. It just matured earlier this year. “2014 looks like another

UNCORKED James Nokes great vintage,” said Crawfton, who added this year is similar to 2004. “I’m excited to get to sink my teeth into the program on a bigger scale.” “I didn’t expect a promotion. My first thought was ‘wow, this is awesome.’ For (Chateau Montelena CEO and Master Winemaker) Bo Barrett to have so much faith in me is humbling and exciting. It really got my blood flowing and reenergized me to think about the future.”

What to buy Chateau Montelena, Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, 2011 ($50): This is an elegant, balanced wine. Great acidity compliments blackberry, anise and cocoa powder notes. The tannins are beautiful and it can be enjoyed right now or a reward for those willing to cellar it for a few years.

“We had tremendous feedback to last year’s first annual event,” said Dave Decker, executive director of the Galena Art & Recreation Center, which will receive a portion of the event’s proceeds. “Guests loved the wine tasting paired with samples from our wonderful Galena restaurants and caterers. It was a fun evening.” Tickets for the Galena Food and Wine Festival, which also features live music, a raffle and silent auction, cost $50 per person and available at www. galenafoodandwinefestival. com. Look for a recap of the Galena Food and Wine Festival in my next column.

Napa Valley earthquake Pictures of shattered bottles and overturned barrels dominated my Twitter feed after a 6.0 magnitude earthquake struck Napa Valley County early Sunday morning. Adam Lee had the best plan to help wineries. The owner and talented winemaker at Siduri took to social media and used his Twitter handle, @SiduriWines, to encourage his followers to buy a bottle of Napa Valley wine. On Monday, I bought Titus, Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, 2010 ($45), a wine with deep purple color, very focused with fruit notes of strawberry and blackberry. There’s cedar in the mid

palate, loamy earth and some ripe plum and dried cherry notes on the finish. It was a big wine for a Monday night, but it was for a worthy cause. “Fortunately, the Chateau Montelena team is safe and we have not sustained any damages to our facility or inventory,” Montelena spokeswoman Sonia Meyer said via email. “Our deepest sympathy and prayers go out to those in the valley who experienced the worst of the earthquake.”

Ali Anderson and Hayley Krull of Girl Scout Troop 543 in DeKalb are candidates for the Silver Award. Each girl completed more than 50 hours of community service in the DeKalb County Community Gardens over the spring and summer. They helped plant, weed and maintain the Founders, Lincoln and Mayor’s Community gardens. They also painted more than 100 wood stakes as part of the “no stick, no pick” program. The girls also donated their time to Feed’em Soup.

BRIEFS Souvenirs available for 2014 Sandwich Fair Souvenirs will go on sale the first day of the Sandwich Fair. New items this year are a pottery crock, plush animal, wooden ornament, visor cap and postcards. This year’s souvenirs are decorated with a caboose logo representing the one located near the Home Arts Building. The custom-made pottery collectible is a solid red crock by Deneen of St. Paul, Minnesota. The height is 6.5 inches, and the width is 5 inches. Other collectibles are a clear glass mug and a die-cut maple ornament. The new visor cap is black. Continuing the tradition that began in 2004, the Gazebo will sell a soft-stuffed plush animal designed by Glory Be. This year’s animal is a dog named “Gus.” He is wearing an engineer hat that complements the caboose embroidered on his stomach. A few animals from previous years also will be on sale.

The stoneware magnet has the caboose logo on a red background. There are two new postcards. One is oversized displaying a 1915 fair poster. The other has scenes from the FFA Farm Zoo. T-shirts are available in two styles and two colors. The short sleeve is cherry red; the long sleeve is red. The hooded sweatshirt is black with a zipper. All styles come in sizes S to XXXL. The embroidered cap is black with a red bill and a windmill logo. Several items are returning this year: the 3-by-5-foot fair flag, postcards and note cards. Artwork on the items is by local artist Jackie Dannewitz. These items can be purchased only at the Gazebo located just north of the Home Arts Building near the WSPY broadcasting tent from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. during the fair. Pictures of the souvenirs are posted online at www.sandwichfair.com.

This summer, in addition to going to the pool and playing with friends, children who participated in the Sycamore School District 427 OSCAR program made regular visits to the Sycamore History Museum. The children, ages 5 to 11, participated in a variety of activities, including planting flowers, designing craft projects, trying new foods, going on scavenger hunts and creating flower arrangements for seniors. “This was the first year we had the OSCAR students at the museum throughout the summer,” museum executive director Michelle Donahoe said in a news release. “For nine weeks, students and leaders came out to have some fun, but also learn more about their community. It was wonderful to see the children return week after week. They really formed a relationship with us out here at the museum. We are looking forward to working

with the school district again next year.” Sycamore History Museum volunteers, along with DeKalb County Master Gardeners, planned three stations per visit. Children learned about butterflies, insects and worms through the ithinkgreen program offered by the University of Illinois Extension. They also planted flowers and gourds in June, and in August harvested onions and garlic. This food was taken to the Northern Illinois Food Pantry. Some of the older students decorated cups and cut fresh flowers for residents at Lincolnshire Place. Other activities included scavenger hunts and discovering what daily life was like for the Civil War soldiers based on the museum’s exProvided photo hibit “General Dutton’s America.” Finally, they had some fresh snacks from Students in the Sycamore School District OSthe garden, provided by the University CAR program visited the Sycamore History Muof Illinois Extension nutritionist. seum weekly during the summer.

Troop 33 spends a week at summer camp Boy Scout Troop 33, chartered by First Lutheran Church in DeKalb, traveled to Camp Lowden near Oregon, Illinois, for summer camp July 20 through 26. A total of 21 Scouts and eight adults enjoyed a week of merit badge work, rank advancement, adventure and fun. Scouts completed a total of 87 merit badges, including badges such as cinematography, chess, geocaching, golf, oceanography and robotics. Other activities included swimming, rifle shooting, archery, wilderness survival, climbing, rappelling, bouldering, kayaking and riding all-terrain vehicles. In the middle of the week, parents and siblings came out for Family Night, which featured a picnic dinner followed by a variety of fun camp-wide games and contests. Later that evening, a special campfire program recognized eight Scouts and one adult Scout leader for their election into the Order of the Arrow. Some younger Scouts took part in the First Class Express program, which

included basic outdoor skills fulfilling selected requirements for Tenderfoot, Second Class and First Class ranks.

The week ended with a celebration of Christmas in July. On July 25, Scouts enjoyed Christmas cookies, a

6 ADVICE & PUZZLES • Saturday, August 30, 2014 • Section C • Daily Chronicle / daily-chronicle.com ASTROGRAPH By EUGENIA LAST Newspaper Enterprise Association

TODAY – Surround yourself with colleagues who are as devoted as you are. They will assist you in charting the right course of action to reach your professional goals. Problems have a way of multiplying if given the chance, so you should deal with any troublesome issues as quickly as possible. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – If you follow someone else, you won’t get much done. Choose the most important item on your to-do list and take care of it. Your actions will speak volumes about your efficiency. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Stop procrastinating and put in extra hours organizing your personal papers. Once you have that out of the way, you will be able to set a workable budget. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Uncertainty in a relationship should be dealt with by having a heart-to-heart talk. An act of aggression or anger will only make the situation worse and put distance between you and the other person. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – You are likely to be hurt if you are too revealing. Pouring out your emotions will put you in a vulnerable position. Keep personal or private details to yourself. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – A partnership or collaboration will be successful if you are honest about your intentions. Sharing with the people who influence your life the most will lead to a positive change. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Conflicting information is likely to lead to confusion. It’s well worth your while to sort it out before the situation spins out of control. Don’t jeopardize your position by ignoring what’s going on. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Let feelings of affection flourish. Find a creative way to let someone know how much you care. An innovative idea can turn into a prosperous pastime. ARIES (March 21-April 19) – You will be the person everyone leans on. Look after those who need your help, but don’t lose sight of your own needs. Patience will be required. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Bare your heart to someone you care about. The way you express your feelings will show how committed you are to doing your very best. Overreacting will work against you. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Take part in an event concerning a cause you feel strongly about. You will gain a feeling of satisfaction for taking a stand. You can and will make a difference. CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Develop creative ideas and share your discoveries. You will have a chance to meet someone who will have an impact on your future at a social or networking event. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – A change will turn out much better than you anticipate, but don’t expect everyone to back your plans. If a confrontation is festering, take a step back and prepare for the duel.

SUDOKU

Finances are the ties that bind man and mom Dear Abby: I’m a 22-year-old college student. My boyfriend of seven years and I are engaged. Because we were high school sweethearts, we have watched each other grow into the people we are today. For the most part, I’m very proud of the person he has become. When I quit my full-time job to continue my education, he stepped up to support me. I never asked for it, nor did I expect it from him. “Liam” is very frugal. (“Cheap” might be a better word.) I never understood it because he makes enough money to support us both and put plenty into savings. However, I recently learned that every payday, his mother calls, and he goes to her house and gives her money. It wouldn’t bother me if she was ill, unemployed, etc., but she’s well-off and earns a good living. Abby, what concerns me is that while Liam is 24 years old, he has a shared bank account with his mother. She seems to call him only on payday, EVERY payday, without fail.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips

Please ask your readers to think beyond the usual mourning period, and look further at a family’s situation after a loved one dies. A little help can go a long way. – Happy To Lend A Hand in Tennessee

Dear Happy To Lend A Hand: I’m pleased to print your letter. Everyone should be so lucky as to have a caring and generous neighbor like you. When a death happens, the most important thing is to maintain contact with a grieving family and observe the Golden Rule as you have been doing. The time to be a friend is when someone needs one. Dear Abby: Many years ago we adopted three children through our state’s child welfare system. At the time, we knew they had full and half-siblings somewhere “in the system.” We have not yet told our children they have biological siblings, although they do know their birth parents are no longer living due to drug abuse. I was recently able to locate two of the full siblings through Internet research, and I have been following their lives on their social networking pages. Both are adults now – one is a college student; the other is a young mother.

I am torn. My children are teenagers now and old enough to be told they have other siblings. But should I uproot these young women’s lives to learn about us and meet our children? I’m also not sure whether they know the circumstances of their biological parents’ deaths or would want that information. It doesn’t seem fair to dump all this on a college student and a young mom, but my children have a right to know, too. I almost wish I had never started searching. Please advise. – Keeper Of The Secret in Illinois

Dear Keeper Of The Secret: You are obviously a caring and sensitive woman. I agree that your children have a right to know they have other blood relatives. I’d be very surprised if the young women your children are related to were shocked by your contacting them. They are older and may have some recollection of their siblings. However, before discussing this with your teenagers, I recommend that you make the initial contact to be absolutely sure the two adult siblings would like to meet your children.

Chronic subdural hematomas can be slow to heal Dear Dr. K: My mother is in her 70s. She fell a few weeks ago but seemed fine. Then she started to have double vision and some trouble with balance. A CT scan revealed a subdural hematoma. Her doctor advised only bed rest and medication. Does this seem reasonable to you? Dear Reader: A subdural hematoma (or hemorrhage) occurs when blood vessels near the surface of the brain burst. Blood collects beneath the dura mater. That’s the outermost layer of the brain’s protective covering. (I’ve put an illustration of a subdural hematoma on my website.) Most subdural hemorrhages result from trauma to the head. In some cases, blood accumulates rapidly after injury, putting pressure on

ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff the brain and causing symptoms within just a few days. This is an “acute” subdural hemorrhage. It can cause loss of consciousness, paralysis or even death. It usually requires emergency surgery to drain the hematoma and control bleeding. Other times, as in your mother’s case, bleeding may develop over weeks or even months. If symptoms begin more than two weeks after the head trauma, it’s called a “chronic” subdural hematoma. The symptoms your mother experienced – double vision and trouble with

balance – are typical. Other symptoms can include headache, nausea and vomiting, memory loss, and weakness, numbness or tingling in the arms and legs. Although subdural hematomas can occur at any age, they are most likely to occur in people your mother’s age. That may be because blood vessels are more fragile as people reach their 70s. Sometimes, chronic subdural hematomas develop without any head trauma at all – or at least without any head trauma a person remembers. I once had a patient with a subdural hematoma who had no memory of any head trauma. Later, his wife remembered that he had banged his head walking into the edge of a partially opened door at night.

Some conditions can cause subdural hematomas that occur without any head trauma. Weakness in artery walls can cause them to start leaking blood. Certain types of cancer that spread to the brain’s protective covering also can cause bleeding. Treatment is based on symptoms and the size of the hematoma. A doctor can determine the amount of bleeding from a computed tomography (CT) scan or a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. If your mother’s hematoma is small and has caused only minimal symptoms, then it’s reasonable for the doctor to recommend bed rest and medications. The medications should help control swelling and prevent seizures. Symptoms should improve as her

body gradually reabsorbs the blood. The doctor should carefully monitor your mother during treatment. If your mother’s hemorrhage was larger or was causing more severe symptoms, a doctor would likely recommend surgery. Most people who have a chronic subdural hemorrhage eventually get back to normal. With any brain injury, however, symptoms can be slow to go away after treatment. And some symptoms may be permanent. Hopefully, your mother will recover on her own, as her doctor thinks she will. If so, she will most likely not experience permanent symptoms.
