relying on friends and family, I can go to a friend’s house or wherever I want to go.”

She uses the buses up to five times a week, taking TransVAC for local trips and MedVAC to doctor’s appointments in other cities, like Batavia. She said anywhere the doctor is, the bus can take her.

DeKALB – Kim Havlicek was trying to turn her love for makeup and hair into a career so she could build a future for herself and her 7-yearold son, friends and family remembered Friday.

Havlicek, 28, of Cortland, was a single mother with a month to go before graduating from cosmetology school. Family said Havlicek loved her son, Tevarri Hamilton, more than anything else.

“She was a good friend and a good mother,” said her younger sister Heather DelGrosso, 24. “She was really trying to make a better life for her and her son.”

Havlicek died early Friday in a head-on collision on Interstate 88, Illinois State Police said.

She was driving west in the eastbound lanes just west of Annie Glidden Road about 12:50 a.m. Friday when her 2002 Mitsubishi Galant collided with a 2012 Toyota Camry, state police Master Sgt. Paul Carlos said.

The Camry’s driver, Juan Ayala-Jimenez, 40, of Sterling, was airlifted to St. Anthony Medical Center in Rockford in serious condition, Carlos said.

Kim Havlicek and her son lived with her parents, Suzanne and Laddie Havlicek, in Cortland. She graduated from DeKalb High School in 2004.

DelGrosso and Suzanne Havlicek said their favorite memories of Kim Havlicek were going to Six Flags or spending the day at the beach. They also loved her infectious personality and enthusiasm as a hairdresser. She often cut friends’ and family members’ hair, they said.

“She had a lot of friends,” Suzanne Havlicek said. “She was very determined.”

Salina Beverly, 29, has called Kim Havlicek her best friend for more than a decade. She said Kim

DeKalb police: Woman crashes into Smoker’s World, charged with DUI

By ANDREA AZZO aazzo@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Abraham Mustafa was eating breakfast in the back room of his Smoker’s World store when he heard what he thought was an explosion.

As soon as Mustafa came out of the back room, he saw a car partially inside his store with the glass storefront shattered. A woman was sitting behind the wheel, Mustafa said.

“I opened the door, tapped her on the shoulder. She didn’t respond,” he said. “I thought she was dead.”

Mustafa then went to call police, and by the time he came back, he said

the woman and the car were gone. He was left to clean up the glass shards scattered around the sidewalk and inside the store at 818 W. Lincoln Highway in DeKalb. Some of the outside brickwork was damaged in the crash.

In connection with the incident, Patricia Racine, 52, of the 800 block of West Taylor Street in DeKalb, was charged with aggravated driving under the influence, leaving the scene of a property damage accident, driving with a suspended license and having an open container of alcohol in her car, DeKalb police Commander John Petragallo said.

DeKalb police Sgt. Jim Haacker

was patrolling nearby when he saw Racine’s damaged 2002 Honda Accord driving east on West Lincoln Highway. Police received a report about 10:10 a.m. Friday of a car hitting Smoker’s World, so Haacker tried to pull over the damaged car.

Haacker said Racine did not stop when he began following her in the 200 block of West Lincoln Highway.

He followed Racine’s vehicle as it turned onto Fourth Street and then onto Roosevelt Street, where it finally stopped. Police removed Racine from her car after she refused to get out, Haacker said.

When does a professor cross the line?

A university should include faculty with a wide range of views, even controversial ones, and they shouldn’t be penalized for expressing them.

That widely accepted concept is called “academic freedom,” and it’s one of the privileges that comes along with having tenure as a professor.

There’s good basis for it. If you go to college and aren’t exposed to views that are different from what your family talked about around the dinner table, why bother leaving?

In DeKalb, we benefit from having our own community of scholars. They think about and study important things; they see the world in different ways.

Sometimes I don’t agree with them, but I’m grateful that they’re out there, if for no other reason than to make me question my own views. I have been wrong before, and I will be again, and if someone helps me recognize that, great.

But where’s the line between controversial and hateful, and when has a professor – or a prospective professor – gone too far?

That’s the question posed by this week’s story about Steven Salaita, a Palestinian-American professor whose offer of employment was rescinded by the University of Illinois’ Board of Trustees this week.

Salaita was to be an associate professor of Native American studies, but this summer, he was giving daily lectures on Israel’s invasion of the Gaza Strip on Twitter, sending many short messages, occasionally with profanity, about the injustice perpetrated by the “Zionists” in Israel, and blaming them for anti-Semitism.

“This is not a conflict between #Israel and ‘Hamas,’ ” Salaita wrote on July 17 during one of his rants. “It’s a struggle by an indigenous people against a colonial power.”

In late July, he was sending 50-60 missives a day. Native Americans were rarely mentioned, except in the rare case where he correlated their struggle with Palestinians.

Salaita’s prolific, daily denunciations of Israel, “Zionists,” and other backers of the Jewish state made him a target.

And sending as much out as he did, it was only a matter of time before he gave his detractors ammunition they needed.

Stuff like this: “Zionists: transforming ‘antisemitism’ from something horrible into something honorable since 1948.”

And: “If it’s ‘antisemitic’ to deplore

EDITOR’S NOTE Eric Olson colonization, land theft, and child murder, then what choice does any person of conscience have? #Gaza” He also retweeted this, from the “Free Palestine” account: “Jeffrey Goldberg’s story should have ended at the pointy end of a shiv.”

On Thursday, the U of I’s Board of Trustees agreed with the president’s recommendation not to hire Salaita after all.

He’s vowed to sue the university for breach of contract, and some groups, such as the American Association of University Professors have denounced the decision. There are legal questions, such as whether Salaita’s signing an offer letter was the same as him being hired and entitled to academic freedom.

You can argue it either way, and I’m sure some lawyers will.

Really, though, it’s the university administrators who created this mess.

For one, Salaita’s views weren’t secret.

He’s written several books, including “Israel’s Dead Soul,” which was published in 2011.

They offered Salaita a job in October, but after Israel invaded Gaza and Salaita started his anti-Israel blitz, donors to the university and others got angry.

Pressure was applied to not hire him.

Counter-pressure was applied to hire him.

In the end, Salaita’s views cost him the job, and might cost the taxpayers if the university has to reach a big-money settlement with him.

It didn’t have to be this way.

A university is supposed to be the ultimate marketplace of ideas. It’s hard to see what threat Salaita would have posed. When I was a student at Illinois in the 1990s, you could access a diverse range of views, from the Socialist workers’ newspaper to a conservative publication that I remember in one issue ran portraits of Spanish conquistadors under the headline “Our Heroes.”

A thinking person is supposed to look at these ideas, evaluate them, and reach their own conclusion. In my case, it was, no, I don’t think I’m a socialist and Francisco Pizzaro probably killed too many indigenous people to be considered a hero.

If they’d just hired the guy as they’d

planned, he could have taught his Native American studies class and so long as he didn’t discriminate or proselytize in his classroom, we all would have moved on.

Salaita’s not just a victim in this, either. His job offer was subject to board approval. He either didn’t realize that or didn’t think it was a big deal. So he went bonkers on social media, likening an Israeli Defense Forces spokesperson to famous Nazi propagandist Josef Goebbels and stating that Israel was continuing the work of Hitler.

What about NIU: I asked Ari Bass, a professor emeritus of journalism who taught for more than 30 years at NIU, about the importance of academic freedom and how one’s own views color one’s classroom instruction.

Outside the classroom, you can say whatever you like as it pertains to your field of expertise, Bass said. Inside it, though, an instructor must provide balance.

“You’re supposed to present as many side of an issue as are meaningful,” Bass said. “This is sort of a permit to make ridiculous controversial political statements that should have some relationship to your expertise, and not get fired.

“Except when you cross a border.”

It’s natural to wonder if this could happen at NIU, and the answer is, yes, only in a more high-profile way.

Where the University of Illinois’ offer letter contains language about needing approval of the Board of Trustees, NIU’s requires approval of funds from the General Assembly and “the approval of the governor,” Bass said.

That’s one of those contractual buga-boos that no one thinks about until someone digs it out at an opportune time, kind of like what happened in Champaign.

It probably ought to be deleted, as Illinois’ board approval clause ought to be, Bass said, considering that they are rarely exercised or noted.

Can you imagine what a prospective professor would have to write on Twitter to make the governor step in?

Let’s hope it never happens, and that the faculty at all of our state universities can remain free to express themselves.

Today’s radical ideas sometimes become tomorrow’s realities.

TODAY’S TALKER

Slain 5 kids loved to play, wrestle with their dad The ASSOCIATED PRESS AMORY, Miss. – The five children who authorities say were killed by their father loved to dress up as superheroes, play in the park and pool, and pose for the camera, always smiling. And they loved “wrestling with their dad.”

At their memorial in this rural Mississippi town Friday, about 100 people, some who didn’t even know the Jones children, watched a slide show of their short lives.

Mourners in wooden church pews cried and soft music accompanied the images of Merah, 8; Elias, 7; Nahtahn, 6; Gabriel, 2; and Elaine, 1.

Associate minister Derrick Maranto said Elaine loved to give high fives, dance and act as a “leg ornament.”

“That is, whether you find yourself at Wal-Mart or find yourself at the grocery store, or even at home, you feel something heavy on your leg,” Maranto said. “It’s a child, like hanging on to you. That was Elaine.”

Gabriel loved to watch Care Bears and “VeggieTales.” Elias – who Maranto called Eli – loved fishing and dressing up like Spider-Man. Nahtahn liked to fish, ride his bike and dress up like Iron Man. Merah put on princess outfits, played with dolls and liked brushing people’s hair.

And “they all loved wrestling with dad,” Maranto said, the only specific mention of the father at the memorial.

“They loved going to the park. They loved swimming. They loved chocolate cookies and a chocolate fountain.”

About 400 miles away in Lexington,

Police say Timothy Ray Jones Jr., 32, killed his three boys and two girls and dumped their their decomposing bodies on a rural hilltop in Alabama.

South Carolina, their father waived his first court appearance Friday because he is being “portrayed as a monster” and needs a mental health evaluation as soon as possible, his attorney said.

Authorities said Timothy Ray Jones Jr., 32, killed his three boys and two girls, wrapped their bodies in separate trash bags and drove around for days with their decomposing bodies before dumping them on a rural hilltop in Alabama.

Jones killed them at his home about two weeks ago, before his ex-wife reported them missing, Acting Lexington County Sheriff Lewis McCarty said. The motive and cause of death still is being investigated, authorities said.

Jones has been treated for mental health problems in the past, his attorney

Aimee Zmroczek said. She would not elaborate.

“He is scared and simply wants someone to guide him through the process,” Zmroczek said.

The Jones Jr. has a record dating back to his teenage years in McHenry County in Illinois, including a cocaine possession charge in 2001.

His attorneys filed documents saying the initial hearing was entirely unnecessary and could taint a potential jury pool and prevent him from receiving a fair trial.

Jones’ attorney Zmroczek said he has been held in isolation under suicide watch. Lexington County authorities transferred him to a state prison for his safety.

Kids raise money, ride trikes for St. Jude’s

CORTLAND – A 47-year-old Maple Park woman is accused of stealing money from the Dollar General in Cortland while she was an employee there, authorities said.

Dawn I. Pinion, of the 18300 block of Hinckley Road, surDawn I. Pinion rendered to police Friday and is charged with felony theft.

Cortland police requested help from DeKalb County Sheriff’s deputies in early August in connection with the investigation, according to a DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office news release.

Detectives worked with Dollar General’s loss prevention department to identify Pinion as stealing from store sales, the release states.

Pinion has since turned herself in, posted bond and

“The main goal was to teach that on top of the importance of bike safety,” she said.

Both Sundquist and Tatroe said the students learned a lot during the activities.

“They totally understood we were making money for sick kids,” Tatroe said. “They may not know St. Jude’s, but they absolutely understood that.”

Kingston resident Sara Hoecherl’s son, Dylan Curtis, 4, raised just more than $300

Hoecherl said she was proud her son was able to raise so much money. She was surprised by how many people were able to provide donations. Almost $150 of the money Dylan raised were cash donations, his mother said.

“He said, ‘We have to give money to the sick children at the hospital,’ ” she said.

Bella Odom’s mother, Misty Odom, said she was surprised how motivated her daughter was to raise money even though she did not previously know what a fundraiser was.

Genoa day care center raised more than $3K for research hospital GENOA – Bella Odom’s goal was to raise $100 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Bella, a 4-year-old at Walnut Street Daycare Center, blew past her goal by raising $600, more than any other child at Walnut Street, with donations from family, friends and sponsors.

“I got very lots of money to help kids get better,” Bella said.

About 60 students participated Friday in the day care’s first Trike-A-Thon. They rode their tricycles in a circle in the day care’s parking lot for about half an hour. The event marked a culmination of a fundraiser that raised more than $3,000 for St. Jude, said preschool teacher Sarah Sundquist.

In August, the day care’s nearly 120 children were asked to raise money to benefit sick children and their families.

The more they raised, the more perks they received, such as T-shirts, puppets and Pillow Pets, preschool teacher Kristen Tatroe said.

Walnut Street has students ranging in age from infants to 5 years old.

Children also spent the week learning about bicycle safety, such as not riding in the street, looking out for driveways and watching where they are going, Tatroe said. Teachers showed them one-minute clips each day with a different bike lesson.

Sundquist said she hoped the children learned how to help other people.

Cops: Pathologists’ findings led to murder charge

By JIM SUHR The Associated Press ST. LOUIS – Murder charges against a former Illinois prosecutor and Big Ten football standout in his wife’s death eight years ago are rooted in pathologists’ new findings that her body’s condition at the scene showed she died of foul play and not flu-like symptoms, authorities told The Associated Press.

Quincy Police Chief Rob Copley said the case took a dramatic turn late last year when a recently promoted detective dusted off the file and sought opinions from two outside pathologists, each of whom concluded that 38-year-

old Cory Lovelace died of foul play on Valentine’s Day 2006.

Curtis Lovelace, 45, was indicted last month on a first-degree murder charge in Adams County Circuit Court, where he prosecuted hundreds of cases as an assistant state’s attorney. He appeared in court Friday, shackled and in striped jail clothes, for a scheduled arraignment and told a judge he needed more time to find funds to hire an attorney. The arraignment was pushed back to Oct. 8.

The former Quincy school board member who since Cory Lovelace’s death has married twice more remained jailed in lieu of $5 million bond.

Cory Lovelace’s death in

the family’s home in western Illinois’ Quincy along the Mississippi River had remained an open case, given that an autopsy and coroner’s jury at the time failed to pinpoint what killed of the mother of four. Ed Parkinson, the case’s special prosecutor, said Curtis Lovelace had told authorities after his wife’s death that “she had been ill for a few days.”

Copley said the detective perused Cory Lovelace’s file after he “heard other people talking about concerns about the case,” adding that the man “identified some inconsistencies between what was found at the scene and what was being said.” Copley wouldn’t elaborate.

BRIEFS Kitchen fire damages DeKalb apartment DeKALB – A fire fueled by bacon grease caused about $20,000 in damage to an apartment at 914 Ridge Drive in DeKalb, fire officials said.

Firefighters were called to the building about 11:40 a.m.

Friday and arrived to find smoke coming from the third floor of a multifamily apartment building.

They spent about 15 minutes putting out the kitchen fire, according to a DeKalb Fire Department news release. The fire damaged the apartment’s kitchen and living room, but heat and smoke damage extended throughout the apartment.

Five people live in the unit, DeKalb fire Chief Eric Hicks said.

About 60 people live in the building where the fire happened, said Tiff Meadows, property manager of Hunter DeKalb Properties. The building has 21 apartments with three bedrooms in each unit, Meadows said. The bacon grease fire began accidentally when the residents were cooking on an electric stove, Meadows said.

DeKalb, Cortland and Sycamore fire departments responded to the scene. Fire officials will release more information about

the incident later this afternoon, while the garbage truck was upright but also damaged.

Hicks said.

– Andrea Azzo No tickets have been issued, according to the release.

Crash leaves Somonauk woman hospitalized SUGAR GROVE – A 44-year-old Somonauk woman was airlifted from the scene of a crash involving a garbage truck Friday on Route 30 west of Dugan Road, according to the Kane County Sheriff’s Office.

Brandy Roberts was flown to Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove, where she was in serious condition, according to a police news release.

The driver of the garbage truck, Milton Mishler, 59, of Cortland, suffered minor injuries and was taken to Presence Mercy Medical Center in Aurora, the release indicated.

Roberts was eastbound on Route 30 about 7:30 a.m. when her 2006 Chevrolet Uplander crossed the center line into oncoming traffic, police said.

Mishler tried to swerve the garbage truck to avoid a crash but could not, police said. Both drivers were the sole occupants of their vehicles. After the crash, the Uplander was left lying on its side with heavy damage,

Chicago taxi drivers threatening a slowdown CHICAGO – Chicago taxi drivers are staging a slowdown to press their demand for a fare hike and the regulation of ridesharing operations in Illinois.

Broadcaster WBBM in Chicago reported there were few taxis at Midway Airport on Thursday, and United Taxi Drivers Community Council Fayez Khozindar is wishing “good luck” to people attempting to grab a cab Friday in the city or its airports.

Department of Aviation spokeswoman Karen Pride said the city hasn’t been notified of any slowdown. She said taxis continue to be dispatched at O’Hare and Midway airports.

Gov. Pat Quinn in August vetoed legislation that would have regulated services provided by drivers who use personal vehicles to provide transportation to the public. Customers use their smartphones to order rides offered through companies such as Uber X, Lyft and Sidecar.

The Department of Rehabilitation and Correction said Friday the three inmates have been transferred to its prison in Youngstown in northeastern Ohio, which has some of the toughest security measures.

The agency said the inmates escaped Thursday night by scaling a fence to a roof, which immediately sounded the fence alarm. The state said a guard chased and caught one inmate immediately and police dogs found the other two prisoners hours later, including school shooter T.J. Lane.

Pakistan nabs militants linked to teen’s attack ISLAMABAD – Pakistan’s army said it has arrested 10 militants suspected of involvement in the 2012 attack on teenage activist Malala Yousafzai, who won world acclaim after she was shot by the Taliban in the country’s northwest.

Army spokesman Gen. Asim Saleem Bajwa said Friday the men attacked Yousafzai, then 16, on orders from Mullah Fazlullah, the head of Pakistani Taliban. He said the Taliban had tried to kill Malala over her advocacy for gender equality and education for women.

Malala was shot in the head in October 2012 while returning from school. She was initially treated in Pakistan, but was later flown to a hospital in Britain, where she now lives with her family.

Arizona man wins fight for death benefits

PHOENIX – A judge has handed a victory to a gay man who lost his spouse to cancer last month and was denied death benefits because Arizona does not recognize same-sex marriage.

Fred McQuire and George Martinez were partners of 45 years who got married in California this summer, fulfilling one of their final wishes as they both dealt with serious health issues.

Martinez died in late August, but McQuire was unable to receive Social Security and veteran benefits because Arizona bans gay marriage.

McQuire went to court Friday as his lawyers asked U.S. District Judge John Sedwick to let McQuire be listed as Martinez’s spouse on the death certificate. The judge quickly issued a ruling in favor of McQuire.

15th annual Parade of Flags celebrated at NIU

Chemical trade tries to shape regulations WASHINGTON – The powerful chemical industry is putting its lobbying muscle behind legislation that would establish federal standards for compounds used in products from household goods to plastic water bottles. But the industry-favored bill would also make it tougher for states to regulate chemicals. Many states already have acted on their own – and that’s what has gotten the industry’s attention.

The American Chemistry Council, a trade group, spent nearly $6 million on lobbying in the first half of the year, the most recent reporting period.

There’s widespread agreement that the current law needs an overhaul. But a big sticking point is the role of the states in regulating chemicals.

Regulation of chemicals took on new urgency after a crippling chemical spill in West Virginia last January contaminated drinking water for 300,000 residents.

More than 500 DeKalb fifth-graders carried the flags of more than 100 nations Friday during the 15th annual Parade of Flags held in the Convocation Center on the campus of Northern Illinois University. Before the parade, students in small groups heard from international students and students who recently returned from studying abroad about the cultures of other nations. The event originally was scheduled to take place in Huskie Stadium, but was moved indoors because of the weather.

Cobbling coalition for Iraq, Syria no easy task The ASSOCIATED PRESS ANKARA, Turkey – Assembling a coalition to fight the militants from the Islamic State group is proving to be a complicated affair.

France is all in, but would like to invite Iran – against the wishes of the United States.

The U.S. is pressing Turkey, which has resisted publicly endorsing the global strategy against the extremists, who are holding 49 Turkish hostages.

Many world leaders want to act quickly, before the Islam- John ic State group Kerry gains more territory. But it’s crucial to reach agreement on what the coalition is doing and why, particularly after bitter diplomatic divisions created by the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq a decade ago.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said as many as 40 countries have offered various levels of support – from humanitarian aid, to cracking down on illicit cross-border funding and fighters flowing to the insurgents, to providing intelligence and supplies to rebels in Syria and security forces in Iraq.

But after more than a week

of meetings with top NATO and Mideast officials, Kerry refused to say Friday precisely how a global campaign being pieced together by the U.S. would succeed in destroying the terror group, which has taken over large parts of Iraq and Syria.

The U.S. needs serious support from regional players if it hopes to weaken the militants over the long term.

Kerry has persuaded key Arab allies to join a coalition of Mideast nations that pledged to curb the extremists’ resources, repudiate their ideology, proMevlut vide humanCavusoglu itarian aid to its victims and potentially contribute to a military campaign.

He’s had less success in getting Turkey to join in.

Visiting Ankara on Friday, he pressed Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu to harden borders against fighters and funding flowing to the Islamic State militant group.

Turkey sits on the front line of the Islamic State group’s battleground in Iraq and safe haven in Syria. It already has helped refugees and cracked down on suspicious cross-border traffic from both countries.

Comfort

Summer

But Turkey is in a tight spot, and the U.S. is being careful not to push too hard on its NATO ally as Turkish authorities grapple with trying to free the hostages, who include diplomats. The Turks were kidnapped from their consulate in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul when it was overrun by the Islamic State group in June.

“They have a few sensitive issues,” Kerry told the BBC on Thursday. “We respect those sensitive issues, and we’re going to work with them very carefully.”

At the start of a meeting Friday with Kerry, Cavusoglu cited “challenges and threats” in Iraq and Syria.

The Sunni Muslim extremists also are holding several Americans hostage. After Washington launched more than 150 airstrikes against them in Iraq since last month, they have beheaded two U.S. freelance journalists who were working in Syria.

Senior U.S. officials who briefed reporters traveling with Kerry said Ankara already is working against the Islamic State, including by denying about 6,000 people from entering Turkey and deporting 1,000 more who were deemed suspicious. But one of the U.S. officials said Turkey’s borders remain extremely porous.

Rogers hopes to have the organization moved within five years, if federal grants come through.

County Administrator Gary Hanson said the land being held for VAC’s move, located near the intersections of Peace and County Farm roads in DeKalb, is a good fit for the organization. The land would give the organization 12 acres of space for a facility about six times larger than its current facility.

“The county has been good partners with VAC over the years,” Hanson said. “We know how valuable this service is and how valuable the transportation is for our citizens to get around. There are a lot of pieces in place, they are just waiting on the funding.”

Rogers is proud of how VAC has always worked to meet the needs of the community, like realizing years ago that a need for transportation isn’t limited to just people of a certain age or people with a disability. She

pointed to economic factors or inability to drive as reasons that people use the TransVAC services regularly.

Rogers said the Meals on Wheels program provides 275 meals a day to DeKalb County residents who may be elderly, disabled and/or homebound.

This summer, VAC stopped offering free community meals, which were open to anyone regardless of income, because of budget reductions, mostly because sponsors of the meals reduced their funding over the years.

Rogers said it was a chance for the organization to focus on its other programs, like Meals on Wheels, children’s programs, senior program summer meals and the transportation services.

Rogers looks forward to a 40th anniversary celebration Thursday at the Kishwaukee Country Club in DeKalb. Dinner will be served, with proceeds benefiting the organization.

CHICAGO – In a stunningly fast decision, a federal appeals court in Chicago reinstated Wisconsin’s voter photo identification law on Friday – just hours after three Republican-appointed judges heard arguments on reactivating the hotly debated law in time for the November election.

In a brief order, a threejudge panel of the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago said, “The State of Wisconsin may, if it wishes ... enforce the photo ID requirement in this November’s elections.”

Wisconsin officials wasted no time in saying they would do just that.

“We are taking every step to fully implement the voter photo ID law for the November general election,” said Kevin Kennedy, the state’s top election official. “We are now focused on communicating with local election officials and voters, and will have more information about the details next week.”

Wisconsin’s Republican governor, Scott Walker, heralded the court’s decision as a victory for his state.

“Voter ID is a common sense reform that protects the integrity of our voting process,” he said in a statement

released by his office. “Today’s ruling makes it easier to vote and harder to cheat.”

Some Democrats expressed outrage.

“This ruling will disenfranchise Wisconsin voters and lower voter turnout in this fall’s election,” Democratic state Rep. JoCasta Zamarripa, of Milwaukee, said in a statement.

She also worried the bid to implement the law less than two months before the Nov. 4 election would cause confusion among election officials and voters.

A lower court judge, U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman, struck the law down as unconstitutional in April, saying it unfairly burdens poor and minority voters who may lack such identification.

Republican Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen asked the 7th Circuit to overturn that ruling.

During an hourlong hearing Friday morning, the panel sounded skeptical about depictions of the law as discriminatory.

Under the 2011 measure, those arriving at polling stations must produce a government-issued ID with a photo to vote. Because of legal challenges, the requirement had not been enforced since the February 2012 primary.

has been served throughout the years by the Voluntary Action Center, whether through TransVAC rides, Meals on Wheels, or the organization’s other services. VAC is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year.

VAC has seen many changes throughout its history, like the implementation of some programs and the losses of others, all while adapting to meet the county’s needs. Currently, VAC leaders are seeking federal grants to expand their buildings in a new location in DeKalb, while this summer they announced the end of their community meals.

Associate Director Ellen Rogers has seen a lot of change in her 25 years with Voluntary Action Center.

“We’ve seen tremendous growth in both the need for services and our ability to meet those needs,” Rogers said. “We are serving as many people as we ever have.”

Rogers said community support and grant money have driven the organization’s ability to succeed in this area.

For instance, in May, Sycamore City Council approved a $17,000 grant to help fund MedVAC and a $20,000 grant to provide long-term funding for TransVAC. Rogers is looking forward to the future of VAC, with building expansion being the largest project on the horizon.

“We have greatly outgrown both of our facilities,” Rogers said, referring to the transit building and the kitchen building on Bethany Road near Peace Road in Sycamore.

“We have secured grant monies for the transit facility at least and have entered into an agreement with the county with land set aside. That’s where our energies will be directed: To get those facilities in place that are very much needed. We’re excited about

OUR VIEW

Camp Power a positive force

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Safe Passage working against domestic violence To the Editor: In the past few days it has been hard to avoid the media circus that surrounds what can only be called the Ray Rice-Baltimore Ravens-NFL fiasco. I hope you will allow me to point out that the scourge of domestic and sexual violence against women, men, children and families of every social and economic status in our community is still pervasive in 2014. That is why Safe Passage exists.

Our mission to reduce and prevent domestic and sexual violence in DeKalb County drives the work we do every day. We work to

provide emergency or longer-term shelter for battered, devastated and frightened women and their children fleeing their homes for safety. We work to hold the hand of a college student who has been sexually assaulted and is terrified of being examined at a hospital.

We work to guide people through the complexity of the legal system, as they seek protection and safety.

And because abuse starts with the abuser, we serve men and some women in our Partner Abuse Intervention Program.

In 2013, Safe Passage served almost 1,000 women, men and children, and domestic and sexual violence are vastly underreported.

The social media frenzy on the Rice/Ravens/NFL, including the hashtags #WhyIstayed and #WhyIleft are getting a lot of buzz and there are some profound statements that show the complexity of this issue. But the questions should be, “why are people (mostly men) violent against people they care about?” or “how do we stop this cycle of violence?”

There are many complex answers, but there are also solutions, and Safe Passage is here to help.

The NIU Sexual Assault Prevention Task Force is working on solutions and we are working with them.

Local police departments, schools, teachers, coaches,

parents and even children can and do provide solutions, and Safe Passage can help. We offer a wealth of training, education and prevention opportunities to build trustworthy first responders, to teach interpersonal respect, to develop just and enforceable codes of conduct and to promote healthy relationships.

Safe Passage is here to serve all of DeKalb County. But we can’t do it alone. Breaking the cycle of domestic and sexual violence and making DeKalb safe for all will take a community response and everyone’s support.

Mary Ellen Schaid Executive director, Safe Passage DeKalb

VIEWS

Democrats could lose Senate for a long time

By FRANCIS WILKINSON Bloomberg News Democrats curse their luck in 2014 – a midterm in a president’s (often) grim sixth year, with most of the competitive races in states won easily by the last Republican presidential candidate. Low presidential approval ratings in states that Democrats need to win are not leavening the mood.

Democrats have been consoling themselves by thinking of 2016, when they expect to have a strong presidential candidate and an improved playing field. Many more Republican seats (23) than Democratic seats (10) will be contested that year, and the electorate is expected to swell with liberal presidential voters who are often AWOL in

nonpresidential years. So 2016 should be as good for Democrats as 2014 is bad.

Unless 2014 is really bad. How bad? The data folks have been pretty cautious to date.

But now election analyst Stuart Rothenberg is starting to talk “wave.”

I am now expecting a substantial Republican Senate wave in November, with a net gain of at least seven seats. If a wave materializes, and Democrats get wiped out across the South – and in Iowa and Alaska, too – the prospects for 2016 grow significantly dicier. (If Hispanic voters stay home in droves this year, and the Democratic candidate in Colorado falls, it gets worse.)

In 2016, Republicans will field candidates in some inhospitable territory, including Pennsylvania, where the incumbent Re-

publican governor is getting clobbered this year, and Wisconsin, where a Republican governor is currently hanging on by the skin of his union-grinding molars. Republican-held seats in Illinois and New Hampshire also will be in play.

If Democrats lose six seats this year, they will lose the Senate, but still be well positioned for a comeback in 2016. (Besides, a fractious 51-49 Republican majority may make Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell wish he’d never been born.) If Democrats lose eight or nine seats, 2016 will suddenly look like a whole lot less fun.

Rice’s crime and punishment, with compassion The incident in which Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice savagely beat his fiancée in an elevator has garnered much attention, largely because the savagery was captured on video.

The video evoked a visceral response in almost everyone, present company included. To brutally attack someone you supposedly love with enough force to threaten her life is abnormal behavior. If the perpetrator is simply punished and the behavior not addressed, it is likely to manifest again, perhaps with more serious consequences. Of course punishment for this heinous act is warranted. But where would any of us be if, after we committed some terrible act, everyone just piled on and no one sought to help us?

Having been the transgressor as a teenager and almost stabbing someone, and subsequently by the grace of God learning how to look at things differently and resolve conflict without violence, I came to understand rage, consequences, penalties and redemption. Perhaps we should all take a step back and let rational thought processes have a place in our lives.

Let’s not get into useless discussions of

VIEWS Ben S. Carson whether Rice’s punishment is not severe enough or too severe because that is probably pointless. Instead, let’s get help for these people and engage in useful dialogue about the horrors of domestic violence.

Then, hopefully, we can use this as a teachable moment.

Undoubtedly, those on the left will say Rice’s abominable actions are being defended by Ben Carson, who thinks domestic violence is not so bad.

I would happily engage in a public debate with any of my left-wing critics on the issue of domestic violence, punishment and rehabilitation. We might even be able to reach some common ground and make progress if we stop using every opportunity to stoke the fires of hypersensitivity and division in our society.

To even suggest that an intelligent person would defend the actions of Rice or blame his fiancée for the crime is beyond

ludicrous.

There are some who will say that Rice was defending himself from his fiancée, who was attacking him. He is so much bigger and stronger than she is that he easily could have restrained her without striking her. There is no excuse for pummeling anyone, much less a smaller, weaker individual.

Many have been quick to jump to the conclusion that his fiancée, who is now his wife, was only in the relationship for the money, and there is no possibility that love enters the equation. This may or may not be the case, but it is a private matter for the Rice family to resolve on their own.

Hopefully, that resolution will involve much-needed counseling to uncover the root causes of their problems.

If they can go on to lead successful and happy lives even without the NFL, they will have achieved a good outcome.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Thumbs-up: To a drop in crime. From mid-June to mid-August, “part 2” crimes – including battery, criminal damage, trespassing, weapons, sex crimes and some narcotics offenses – in DeKalb’s University Village were down 26 percent from the same period last year. That is the same time period the low-income housing complex hosted Camp Power, a summer camp that engaged about 10 percent of the complex’s more than 600 kids in academic, athletic and nutrition activities. The program also helped police officers have positive interactions with residents of the complex, Police Chief Gene Lowery said. It’s difficult to say whether that had anything to do with the drop in crime, but it couldn’t have hurt. Here’s hoping organizers of Camp Power, which was funded with grants, can keep it going next year.

Thumbs-down: To unnecessary government secrecy.

A state law establishing Illinois’ medical marijuana pilot program exempted applications from companies seeking to sell or grow pot in Illinois. Some lobbyists and former government officials have shown interest in obtaining one of the limited number of licenses to grow or sell the drug, and if there is political favoritism, it should be scrutinized before licenses are awarded – not after. Rules should be changed to make sure this is not another classic example of Illinois political insiders getting preferential treatment.

Thumbs-up: To same-sex marriage moving toward the Supreme Court. So far, this issue has been decided in a patchwork, state-by-state fashion across the country, in many cases by federal judges. It is time that the nation’s highest court weigh in on whether this slow undoing (in most cases) by federal courts should continue, or whether laws defining marriage between a man and a woman are Constitutional.

Thumbs-down: To losing more trees. In DeKalb and Sycamore alone this fall, almost 200 ash trees are expected to be removed because they are dying as a result of Emerald Ash Borer infestation. The borer, a tiny green beetle native to China, has been systematically destroying ash trees as it moves west, and the loss of these large ash trees has dramatically changed the look of local streetscapes. In Sycamore, about 150 trees will meet the woodchipper this fall.

DeKalb, which has spent tens of thousands trying to protect its ash trees from the borer, expects to remove about 40, in addition to nine that already have been removed.

Thumbs-up: To youthful charity. About 60 students ages 5 and younger at Walnut Street Daycare in Genoa participated in the day care’s first TrikeA-Thon. In August, the daycare’s approximate 120 children were asked to raise money to benefit sick children and their families. The more they raised, the more perks they received, such as T-shirts, puppets and Pillow Pets. Overall, the effort raised more than $3,000 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, and undoubted gave some young children an early lesson in giving to others.

ANOTHER VIEW

Wisconsin football fans can survive without alcohol It may smack as a bit elitist and unfair that the only people who can drink at University of Wisconsin-Madison football games are those sitting in the premium seats, aka luxury boxes. Anyone caught imbibing in the bleachers risks arrest.

An Associated Press story reported recently that there are now 21 on-campus football stadiums where fans of legal drinking age can buy beer, as they do at Miller Park or Lambeau Field.

The case for such sales starts, of course, with money. Many fans are willing to pay premium prices for a stadium beer, as anyone who has ever seen the beer prices at a professional game will attest. That money can help the athletic program budget, which in turn helps fund a university’s non-revenue sports, which is most of them.

Big-time college football has taken on a professional atmosphere, with coaches making seven-figure salaries, the aforementioned “skyboxes,” and now a movement toward paying the players whose labor makes all of this revenue possible.

But money, we hope, isn’t everything. It’s a sad commentary that many fans feel deprived if they have to go without drinking alcohol for a few hours. Sure, most people would be responsible drinkers, but it only takes a few clowns having too much to increase the frequency of fights, thrown or spilled beer, foul language and all the rest that comes with excessive stadium drinking. Also, with tens of thousands of underage college students mingled in the Camp Randall crowd, how can security begin to differentiate between those who can legally drink and those who can’t?

College football on a Saturday afternoon should be a celebration of autumn that brings together friends, families, students and alumni to carry on a tradition that when done right builds stronger universities and communities.

For most colleges, that also has meant a respite from the belief that you can’t have a good time without getting buzzed or that you can’t go three hours without an alcoholic beverage.

The world wouldn’t come to an end if beer sales were allowed at Camp Randall, but on balance it doesn’t seem like a great idea. Anyone who has ever witnessed football Saturday in and around the stadium would be hard pressed to conclude that the one thing lacking is enough alcohol.

Defense keys Cogs’ 1st win of season

BY TRAVIS ZUELLIG sports@daily-chronicle.com GENOA – After starting the season 0-2, the Genoa-Kingston High School football team needed something to change if the it didn’t want to start its Big Northern campaign winless.

G-K changed its fortune with big plays against Marengo on Friday night.

An Ian Fell 60-yard interception return for a touchdown and a Joe Murray 41yard touchdown helped push the Cogs to a 22-14 victory.

“This is probably our best game so far. Everyone was pretty clutch and we did everything fundamentally sound,” Fell said. “Since we started off 0-2, getting a big conference win right away is huge.”

The Indians struggled throughout the contest against the Cogs defense.

Marengo turned the ball over twice and committed seven penalties, most for more than ten yards, in its first loss of the season.

“We didn’t play well,” Marengo head coach Matthew Lynch said. “We turned the ball over and we made a lot of mistakes. We will go back to the drawing board and get those things cleared up.”

A Jarrell Jackson 59-yard touchdown run gave Marengo (2-1) an early lead after the first quarter. G-K (1-2) answered on the next possession when Murray broke out for his long touchdown run. Murray punched the two-point conversion to give the Cogs a onepoint lead.

With under a minute left before halftime, Fell made his second interception of the game against Indians backup quarterback Kurt McMackin.

Fell returned the ball to the house to give the Cogs a 14-7 lead entering halftime.

“Our defense stepped up big time,” Fell said. “Marengo has an extremely fast running

Hook, line and sinker Hooker runs over Crete-Monee

By EDDIE CARIFIO ecarifio@shawmedia.com After two Friday nights away from the field, Dion Hooker made his presence felt in a big way for the Sycamore football team.

The senior running back touched the ball on all but 11 of the Spartans’ first-half plays, helping them build a two-touchdown lead in a 33-6 win at a wet and muddy Engh Field on Friday against Crete-Monee.

Hooker ran 256 yards and three touchdowns, plus was the recipient of Brett Bemis’ only completion – a 20-yard Sycamore quarterback Brett Bemis runs the ball during the touchdown pass on a screen that included Hooker powerfirst quarter Friday.

ing out of a leg-tackle at the 13.

“It felt good, but I never really left,” Hooker said. “I was with the team the entire time, motivating and everything.”

The Spartans played the first two games of the year without seven players due to suspensions. Bemis also missed last week with an injury. Mickey Mathey and Michael Cully took over at running back while Hooker and Derek Massier were out.

Coach Joe Ryan said having Hooker back made a big difference.

“You do the math. Obviously it’s a big difference,” Ryan said. “Mickey and Mi-

chael have done a good job, but he’s a three-year starter.

Derek played well tonight too. It’s nice to have everyone back.”

Massier ran eight times for 38 yards.

Brown led the Spartans on a systematic drive to start the third quarter, with the team running 13 times to cover 65 yards. Brown ran nine times on the drive, including a 2-yard plunge into the end zone.

It took the Spartans (2-1) some time to get their offense going. Their biggest first quarter play was a 25-yard draw by quarterback Brett

was a yearly occurrence when NIU was in the Big West Conference back in the 1990s, but these days it’s rare.

NIU did travel to Idaho last season, so the Huskies have some experience with long trips and time changes, so that isn’t a great concern.

“I think on the way out there I kind of like it because it gives us two extra hours of sleep or whatever it is, but on the way home it’s a big difference,” NIU offensive tackle Tyler Loos said. “[The] next day [is] pretty sluggish like that, but it really only matters when

we get there, so we’ll be fine.”

The coaching staff has preached the importance of getting enough water so the players are prepared for the desert heat.

“The issue with that is it’s such a different heat. I’ve been out there a few times, down to Phoenix and to Vegas. You don’t sweat out there,” NIU head coach Rod Carey said.

SPORTS SHORTS NIU voleyball loses to No. 15 ASU MOREHEAD, Ky. – The NIU volleyball was hungry for an upset, but not as hungry as No. 15 Arizona State was to avoid that fate.

The Huskies lost, 23-25, 2125, 25-23, 25-22, 15-10, to the Sun Devils.

Earlier in the day, the Huskies started their Kentucky trip with a 25-16, 25-14, 25-16 win against Moorehead State.

The Huskies claimed a 2-0 lead heading into the intermission against ASU, hitting a combined .358 in the first two sets. However, the Sun Devils rallied with wins in the final three sets to steal the upset away from NIU. “We had a lot of good pressure and a lot of good energy,” NIU head coach Ray Gooden said. “We were playing our way and it put pressure on a ranked team. What we need to learn is that it’s good to have pressure, but it’s also good to have sustained pressure. We just weren’t able to finish it.

“It was a hell of a match. It was a surreal, big battle. We fought hard against another Pac-12 team.”

Three Huskies posted double-digit kills on the day, as Mackenzie Roddy (18), Lauren Zielinski (12) and Mary Grace Kelly (10) paced the NIU offense. Anna Brereton recorded 24 digs and Zielinski notched four blocks.

The Huskies close out the weekend tomorrow at 1 p.m. when they face ACC foe Louisville.

Hawks GM Ferry takes leave of absence ATLANTA – Atlanta Hawks general manager Danny Ferry took an indefinite leave of absence Friday, making the move under fire for his racially charged comments about a player.

Hawks CEO Steve Koonin has resisted calls for Ferry to be dismissed, but said the 47-year-old GM asked for the leave.

“My hope that this time away from the Hawks organization allows him the privacy he needs to listen to the community, to learn about his mistakes, and to begin the long process of personal healing,” Koonin said in a statement.

Ferry issued his own statement, saying he plans to undergo sensitivity training and meet with local leaders. He gave no indication that he plans to step down.

“My focus moving forward is to tirelessly work to rebuild trust with this community and with our fans,” he said.

Ferry made an inflammatory assessment of Luol Deng during a conference call with the Hawks’ ownership group in June as the team was pursuing the free agent.

Adrian Peterson accused of child abuse

By DAVE CAMPBELL The Associated Press MINNEAPOLIS – Authorities in Texas issued an arrest warrant Friday for star Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson after he was indicted on a charge of child abuse for using a branch to spank his son. He was swiftly benched by his team for this weekend’s game against New England.

Peterson’s attorney, Rusty Hardin, said that the charge in Montgomery County, near Houston, accuses Peterson of using a switch to spank one of his sons. Hardin said Peterson didn’t mean to hurt the boy, whose injuries and age were not disclosed.

“Adrian is a loving father who used his judgment as a parent to discipline his son. He used the same kind of discipline with his child that he experienced as a child growing up in East Texas,” Hardin said.

“Adrian has never hidden from what happened. He has cooperated fully with authorities and voluntarily testified before the grand jury for several hours,” he said. “Adrian will address the charges with the same respect and responsiveness he has brought to this inquiry from its beginning. It is important to remember that Adrian never intended to harm his son and deeply regrets the unintentional injury.”

The Vikings, about an hour

after issuing a statement acknowledging the case, said Peterson would be on the inactive list Sunday for their home opener against New England.

Peterson will have to turn himself in to authorities. There is no timeline for when he will appear in Texas, Hardin said.

“We are just obligated to try to get it done as soon as possible, which we intend to honor,” he said.

Peterson is in his eighth season, all of them with the Vikings. Widely considered the best running back in the league, he has rushed for 10,190 yards and 86 touchdowns in his career.

The allegations against one of the NFL’s biggest stars came

during a week in which the NFL has been under heavy criticism and scrutiny for the way it handled a domestic violence case involving former Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice and his then-fiancee. Commissioner Roger Goodell initially suspended Rice for two games, but he was suspended indefinitely this week after a longer version of security video surfaced showing Rice punching her in the face.

Critics also are closely watching how the league proceeds in the cases of Carolina Panthers defensive end Greg Hardy and Ray McDonald of the San Francisco 49ers, both still playing with domestic abuse cases pending.

NIU FOOTBALL

Hare the best choice at QB for now 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 Northern Illinois quarterback situation as the Huskies play UNLV at 6 p.m. today in Las Vegas.

Carifio: Another week, another discussion about quarterback for NIU. This time, not only has Drew Hare been named the starter, coach Rod Carey said he is the man for the game against UNLV. So as the Huskies prepare to make their first real road trip of the year – Las Vegas is slightly

TAKE 2 Eddie Carifio and Steve Nitz face off further than Evanston, and it’s unlikely to be a 50-50 split in the stands as it was at Northwestern – do you think Hare plays the whole game at quarterback?

Nitz: I do think Hare plays the whole game – and I think he should. If he’s the starting quarterback like Carey said, he deserves at least a full game to show his stuff.

I was impressed by Hare’s performance against Northwestern (and Presbyterian), both throwing and running the

ball. Carey likes NIU’s depth at quarterback with Matt McIntosh and Anthony Maddie, so if Hare struggles after a few starts, there’s other options.

But right now, he should be the guy and he shouldn’t be on a short leash.

Are you in agreement with Carey, and myself, that Hare should be the guy?

Carifio: McIntosh didn’t exactly impress against Northwestern. Maddie, who seems to the third option right now

at quarterback, sparked more offense against the Wildcats on one drive than McIntosh did in almost a full half. Which is too bad given how good he looked against Presbyterian. I thought he looked good even factoring in the quality level of the Blue Hose.

So Hare is the hot hand right now, and if there is one thing about Vegas, always stay at the hot table.

Nitz: Agreed. I was impressed

by McIntosh against Presbyterian, and it’s not as if he had a ton of time to impress against Northwestern, although he did struggle.

Like you said, Hare is the hot hand. Will the situation still be the same a few weeks from now? Who knows, but right now Hare deserves his shot.

5 storylines 1. Drew Hare After the quarterback merry-go-round of the first few weeks, Hare is now the guy.

He had success against Northwestern, and will now have a full game to show what he can do.

2. The tailbacks Senior Cameron Stingily surprisingly played last week against Northwestern, running for 46 yards on just six carries.

NIU has two talented backs in Stingily and Akeem Daniels.

3. The kicking game Tyler Wedel has missed two short field goals so far, and Carey admits the kicking game is a concern. Wedel currently handles kickoffs, punts and field goals, and Carey said he’s still the best option at all three.

4. Defensive line NIU’s defensive line was arguably the biggest question mark the defense had coming into the season.

The group was at its best last week, com-

ing up with five sacks against Northwestern.

Defensive ends Perez Ford and Jason Meehan could cause havoc for Rebels quarterback Blake Decker.

5. Possible letdown?

The Northwestern win was a big victory for the Huskies. After beating Iowa last year, NIU went out to Idaho and struggled against a bad team before pulling away.

as a 10-point favorite against the Rebels, who went to a bowl game last season but struggled in a blowout loss at Arizona in Week 1 and edged out a 13-12 win over FCS Northern Colorado last week.

After throwing for 109 yards and two touchdowns in the second half of last week’s 23-15 win at Northwestern, sophomore

quarterback Drew Hare earns his first start for the Huskies.

While the Huskies are 2-0 for the second straight year, Carey still said there’s plenty of room for improvement.

“Every area,” he said. “We are nowhere close to a finished product. We have to get better and that’s every area. Offense, defense, kicking game.”

Bears must prepare for heavyweight fight

WNBA

Sky fall in finals sweep

By SARAH TROTTO The Associated Press CHICAGO – Diana Taurasi and Candice Dupree scored 24 points each and the Phoenix Mercury, playing without star center Brittney Griner, beat the Chicago Sky, 87-82, on Friday night to complete a three-game sweep of the WNBA Finals for their third championship.

DeWanna Bonner added 12 points for the Mercury, who also won titles in 2007 and 2009.

Griner sat out following surgery to correct a retinal issue after she was hit in the right eye in Game 2.

Elena Delle Donne scored 23 points, Sylvia Fowles had 20 points and Allie Quigley had 19 for the Sky. Taurasi hit a tiebreaking short jumper and was fouled with 14.3 seconds left and she made the ensuing free throw to put Phoenix up 85-82.

Delle Donne missed a 3-pointer with 12 seconds left, and the Sky fouled Penny Taylor, who made both free throws with 9.3 seconds left for the final score.

Taurasi, who was 4 for 9 on 3s, scored 14 points in the fourth quarter and became the WNBA’s all-time leading scorer in the finals. Phoenix, which had a WNBA-record 29 wins during the regular season, shot 49.3 percent overall from the field.

Griner traveled to Chicago on Friday and shot around during pregame warm-ups.

She said it was a doctor’s decision to sit out.

“They wanted to make sure I was OK for the future, so I’m still day by day right now,” she said.

Instead of Griner, the Mercury started 6-foot-4 Ewelina Kobryn at center.

Phoenix tied it at 67 in the fourth after three free throws.

Jessica Breland was whistled for a technical after Bonner was fouled.

Taylor made the technical free throw, and Bonner hit both of her foul shots before.

Taurasi then made a 3 and a jumper to put the Mercury ahead 72-67.

After the Sky cut the lead to two, Taurasi answered with a 3 with 5:02 left.

Spartans generate 324 yards • SPARTANS Continued from page B1 Bemis that was called back because of a personal foul. The offense started moving after Crete-Monee (1-2) was called for a personal foul on a punt return, giving the ball back to Sycamore.

“When you get a chance like that you’ve got to take advantage of it,” Hooker said.

“We really needed that.”

Hooker ran the ball the next five times, getting into the end zone on a 6-yard run.

He scored late in the first half, as well on a screen pass from Bemis, breaking a tackle and going 22 yards to pay dirt.

The Spartans finished with 324 yards of total offense, with 276 belonging to Hooker.

The defense shined for the Spartans as well, keeping the Warriors off the board until a final-minute touchdown pass from Frank Douglas to Landon Lenoir to cap a 13-play, 72-yard drive that took 3:33. Douglas completed 21 of 31 passes go 105 yards.

The Warriors ran 18 times for 38 yards.

“Maybe the sloppy track kind of helped us, because it maybe slowed them down a little,” Ryan said. “Their speed is incredible.”

G-K added an insurance touchdown when Griffin McNeal completed a 15-yard pass to Marcus Holley for the score to start the fourth quarter.

Cogs head coach Travis Frederick said his team was pumped for the contest.

“Offensively, we did what we needed to do,” Frederick said. “We got some longer, sustained drives than we did in the first couple games.

Possession was helping out for sure.”

Marengo closed the gap when McMackin found Weston Shepard for a 46-yard

“They were pretty fired up,” Frederick said. “We knew we were playing a spread team and they had been throwing up a lot of points. We really worked hard on defense and getting 11 guys to the ball.”

Behind Brown and quarterback Derek Kyler, DeKalb rushed for 297 yards. Kyler attempted just one pass on Friday night – an incompletion – but added a 95-yard touchdown run to cushion the lead late. DeKalb begins conference play next week at Sycamore.

Understand this Bears fans, study the San Francisco roster from 1 to 53 and they may be the most talented and deepest team in the NFL. If they’re not the best, they’re certainly in the conversation.

The Bears get a break Sunday. The 49ers will be without two All Pro linebackers, Aldon Smith (nine-game suspension) and Navarro Bowman (knee surgery).

Even without those two however, the 49ers will have perennial defensive MVP candidate Patrick Willis and Pro Bowler Ahmad Brooks at two of the linebacker spots in their 3-4 defense and plenty of talent in front of and behind those two.

The conventional wisdom is the Bears will need to commit to their running game and try to pound the 49ers, eat clock and keep their own “D” on the sideline as long as possible.

Under normal circumstances that would be an extremely tough putt for the Bears, as San Francisco was fourth against the run on defense last year, and Bowman and Smith will be missed more against the pass than the run.

Add to that the fact the Bears will be without starting center Roberto Garza and left guard Matt Slauson, who was the Bears’ best offensive lineman last year, and it’s hard to imagine the Bears having a ton of success running the football.

Although Brian de la Puente and Michael Ola are solid replacements at center and guard, respectively, they are smaller than Garza and Slauson and possibly better suited to pass protection than blocking the run.

The Bears also will have

to keep a close eye on Matt Forte, who is practically the franchise on offense with Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery banged up. If Forte has to take 70 of 74 snaps as he did last week, it’s really difficult to project a strong run game for 60 minutes.

San Francisco may be vulnerable in the secondary, where Tremaine Brock and Chris Culliver are new starters on the corners, and both are nicked, but they’re solid at safety with sophomore Eric Reid coming off a good rookie year and perennial Pro Bowler Antoine Bethea new this year via free agency.

The Bears will need a huge effort from tight end Martellus Bennett against those safeties, and wide receiver Santonio Holmes must show up big with Josh Morgan, as uncertain as Marshall and Jeffery are because of injuries.

This 2011 photo provided by Oceania Cruises shows the Riviera cruise ship in waters off of Portofino, Italy. Five years ago, Oceania Cruises ended trips to Europe at the end of October but the cruise line has extended its season until mid-November due to demand from retirees and baby boomers. Fall travel by travelers who are not tied to school calendars has inched up in many sectors.

autumn EXPLORATION

Fall tourism rising: Fewer crowds, nice weather

By BETH J. HARPAZ AP Travel Editor

f

all used to be off-peak for tourism everywhere except New England and other fall foliage destinations. But autumn tourism is rising, with traditional summer hotspots increasingly busy September through November.

For empty-nesters, baby boomers and others oblivious to school calendars, the appeal of a fall vacation includes hotel and airfare bargains, fewer crowds because kids are back in school and mild weather – with the exception of the occasional hurricane.

Lara Berdine and Mark Petrella, New Yorkers in their 40s, visit Italy each fall because “it’s cheaper, the weather is cooler and we can see the country as it really is, rather than in high season when it’s inundated with tourists,” said Berdine.

“You find people are more relaxed in stores and everyone is in a better mood. I’ve been to Rome in the dead of summer and it was hell.”

Hilarye Fuller, a Knoxville, Tennessee, mom who writes a travel blog at DottingtheMap.com, figured a summer trip to Disney World in Florida would be “miserably hot and supercrowded,” so she’s going in October. With kids ages 1, 3 and 5, “We don’t have to worry about school.”

Scott Berman, who analyzes the hospitality and leisure industry for PricewaterhouseCoopers, says September and October, when school’s back in session, have “historically been a slower period for leisure destinations. Not only are there fewer crowds, but it’s more economical.” And not just for U.S. travel: “You can fly to Paris for less than you would in July or August and get to see the Mona Lisa without crowds.”

But even traditional fall destinations say the season is getting busier. “Everything used to close on Columbus Day, and now the weekend after is one of the busiest, with the help of group tours trying to get foliage into their itinerary but at a little bit of a lower rate,” said Jayne O’Connor, president of the White Mountains Attractions Association in New Hampshire. Between

according to lodge general manager Daisy Hobbs. An annual outdoor arts event, “In the Footsteps of Thomas Moran,” is part of the draw.

In New Mexico, September is nearly as strong as August, according to state tourism spokeswoman Jolene Mauer. The International Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque brings another spike in October. Colorado’s golden aspens and elk-mating have long drawn fall visitors, but as elsewhere, the season keeps getting longer. A half-dozen years ago, luxury guest ranch Vista Verde near Steamboat Springs closed in late September, but this year there’s enough demand to stay open until Oct. 19.

FAMILY TIME | Simple ways to optimize your mornings

Tip of the week Even the most chipper of morning people can sometimes wake up groggy and tired. And if their children wake up feeling the exact same way, mornings can definitely drag. There are, however, little things you can do - from scheduling exercise at optimal times, to packing protein into breakfast, to planning daily goals – that will make a big difference.

• Wake up and work out: Do you start your morning with a healthy dose

of exercise? The time you begin your workout matters more than you may think. A study shows that those who work out before eating in the morning burned approximately 20 percent more than those who wait until after breakfast.

• Make time for breakfast: Never skip breakfast – not only will that deplete your energy, but it also can negatively impact your health. In fact, recent studies show that those who opt out of breakfast time are at a 27 percent higher risk of having a heart attack. The same study also finds that those who eat breakfast are likely to be healthier eaters overall. This is especially important for children as they develop habits over time. So, help them establish a healthy breakfast habit early. If time is an issue, make breakfast a priority (and a convenience) by filling your pantry with quick, healthy. low-fat options.

• Create a checklist: Think of your entire day as a series of small goals

and write them down in the morning or the night before. Then cross out tasks as you complete them. Not only will you reduce stress from having a better visual of your family’s day, you will feel more productive as you progress through your list.

• Shake up the morning: Get out that blender and toss in healthy foods.

Breakfast smoothies and shakes are a fast way to get the essential nutrients to jumpstart your day. Plus, they’re easy to pour, and they’re mobile – throw in a straw and sip while you walk. Recruit your children to help, and let them have fun mixing up their own tasty creation with fresh fruit like pineapple, banana and blueberries.

• Pause: Before you leave the house, take one minute to breathe. Feel good you ate breakfast and warmed up your body with exercise. And don’t forget to take your to-do list with you. You never know what opportunities the day will inspire.

The mission of the Chicago Zoological Society is to inspire conservation leadership by connecting people with wildlife and nature. Since the opening of Brookfield Zoo in 1934, the Society has had an international reputation for taking a cutting-edge role in animal care and conservation of the natural world. Among its historical firsts are indoor multispecies exhibits, zoo nutrition residencies, methods for animal husbandry, and medical care that includes successful brain surgery for a gorilla.

Brookfield Zoo is located on 216 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, and is only 12 miles west of downtown Chicago – close to everything, but a world away. Strollers, wagons, and electronic convenience vehicles can be rented at both the North and South Gates, and special resources are available for people with disabilities.

The coach will depart DeKalb at 8:30 a.m. and leave the zoo at 2:30 p.m. The fee is $62 per person and includes box lunch, admission to the zoo, and round trip transportation. The deadline for reservations is Sept. 22 or until tickets are gone.

Italian sparkling wine you can drink with a meal

Franco Ziliani was hired to perfect still wine at Berlucchi in 1955.

Instead he found a vineyard and extensive underground cellar fit to make fine sparkling wine. His son Arturo, the CEO and managing and production designer, has expanded and grown the business, yet fondly recalls the family roots.

“It was a challenge,” Arturo Ziliani said. “We didn’t know the winery would grow like this. It was done almost as a joke between friends. It started with a few bottles.”

With the Italian Alps as a northern border and plains to the south, there are dramatic shifts between the day and nighttime temperatures. The vineyards are calcareous and have sandy soil with a

limestone bedrock. The minerality is represented in the wines and provides a layer of elegance.

“Our method is the same as the one used in Champaign,” Ziliani said. “But the water, the soil and the sun are different here. They add a characteristic that is different than wines from Champaign.

We make a wine that you can drink with a meal. It’s not only made for a celebration.”

What to buy Guido Berlucchi, Franciacorta DOCG, Brut ($29.99): Pear flavors yield to a yeasty finish on a crisp sparkling wine laced with minerality.

“The most important thing is mature soil,” Ziliani said.

“We get wind off the mountains, but the roots are very deep.”

Guido Berlucchi, Franciacorta DOCG, Rosé ($34.99): The fruit is cold soaked at low temperatures for 12 to 15 hours and then is soft pressed. The result is a sparkling wine with rich aromas of strawberry, raspberry and a gentle pink color.

The complexity in the wine comes from the Pinot Noir, which is blended with two different Chardonnays to provide acidity.

“It’s most difficult to produce the rosé,” Ziliani said.

“It’s a challenge from year-

What started off as a friendly bet, turned into an endeavor into world-class winemaking.

Second generation winemaker Arturo Ziliani has carried on a tradition that started in eastern Italy in 1961. Berlucchi became the first winery in Franciacarta to make sparkling wine in the classic method, where the secondary fermentation takes place in the bottle. Today their wine label boasts the number 61.

The terroir and mastery of the method continue as Berlucchi crafts sparkling wine with depth, character and complexity.

The baby boomer generation – Americans born between 1946, the end of World War II, and 1964 – is the largest in U.S. history.

A celebrated and confident group, boomers need to take care in how they manage their finances as they head into their senior years. Money Crashers Personal Finance founder and co-owner Andrew Schrage offers some insight to the following retirement questions:

to 3 percent.

After retirement, should people wait a while before taking money out of their 401(k) plans?

Annual distributions are required by law from a 401(k) plan starting at age 701/2 (unless you continue to work past that age).

Folks should put off taking distributions as long as possible to allow that money to grow, up until the age when distributions are required.

Do you think retirees need to have a grasp of what inflaMany people seem to tion may be like in the future? consider retirement as hitting How can they determine how the goal line, but should much purchasing power they people be concerned about will have? simply coasting along on Retirees should be their portfolio?

People should be wary of simply coasting along – they should take particular care to shift their investments, usually to a larger focus on bonds and other safer investments, as they approach retirement age.

Can overspending during the first few years be a problem for some people?

NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS RENT BASED ON INCOME $200 move in allowance to qualified RENTAL OFFICE ON SITEapplicants 8:30-3:30 Monday-Friday RENTAL OFFICE ON SITE 8:30am-3:30pm Monday-Friday 1600 N. Fourteenth St., DeKalb, IL 1600 N. Fourteeenth St.,60115 DeKalb, IL 60115 815-756-3408 815-756-3048

Overspending can absolutely be a problem for some people – especially those who are healthy and likely to live a longer retirement. The common rule of thumb used to be that using 4 percent of your portfolio in your first year of retirement was a good goal, but with lower yields of late, many experts are now recommending ratcheting that down

cognizant of inflation rates.

With an average rate of inflation of 3 percent, over the course of 20 years, purchasing power lowers by 43 percent if they have $1 million of uninvested funds and are spending it evenly over a 30-year period. Retirees should also understand that inflation rates in categories relevant to them, such as health care and travel, are currently outpacing the average overall inflation rate.

Any other things people should do or avoid to keep their credit in good shape though retirement?

Pay your bills on time, keep old lines of credit open, and keep credit card debt as low as possible.

6 ADVICE & PUZZLES • Saturday, September 13, 2014 • Section C • Daily Chronicle / Daily-Chronicle.com ASTROGRAPH

By EUGENIA LAST Newspaper Enterprise Association

TODAY – Put your life in order and get your ideas off the ground. An optimistic outlook will propel you in the right direction. Onlookers may not know how to deal with your enthusiasm, but the results will be proof that you’re on to something good.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – By experimenting with an old concept, a new outlet will reveal itself. This unusual opportunity will point you in a promising new direction. Don’t look back.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Collaboration will prove inspiring. With a little extra effort, a creative idea will come to fruition. It’s time to put in motion what you’ve been contemplating.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Take a rational approach. Not everything will be as it appears, but that doesn’t mean you should give in too quickly to what someone suggests. Wait for the details to fall into place.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Your natural curiosity will lead to a detour in your plans. Don’t be alarmed if you fall behind. The experience will energize you to finish on time with your own personal touch.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Reconsider a relationship with someone who finds fault with your every move. Your feelings are just as valid as anyone else’s, and it’s important that you feel appreciated.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Take a slow and easy approach to personal and professional dealings. You will have great success if you think before you act. Steady progress is the name of the game.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Partnerships and love connections look positive. Lady Luck is shining on you, so take advantage of the favorable conditions and follow through on plans that will improve your life.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Prepare to take on additional duties. Offer to help a colleague get through a difficult task. The extra work will be rewarded when the tables are turned and you need a favor.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Think before you make a move. You are overreacting, causing a troublesome situation to escalate. You can defuse matters if you listen rather than argue. Practical actions will bring solid solutions.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Ease your stress by spending time doing something calming. Fresh air, sunshine and physical activity will help, along with an entertaining evening spent with someone special.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Deception and confusion regarding a personal situation are apparent. Make sure the information you receive is from a reputable source and not from someone hoping to gain from your misfortune.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Make a point to remain in a positive state of mind.

If you feel pressured by someone or something, explore solutions that could maximize your independence.

SUDOKU

Written thank-yous show sincere appreciation Dear Abby: I just turned 14 and had a small party with relatives to celebrate it. A few days later my mom bought me thank-you cards and said I should send them out.

I told the people “thank you” for the gifts in person. I don’t think thank-you cards are necessary for something as small as birthdays.

Shouldn’t they be reserved for things like weddings and baby showers?

Mom and I are anxious to see your answer. – No Thankyou Dear No Thank-you: Listen to your mother because she’s trying to tell you something important. When people do something nice for you – such as give you a birthday or Christmas gift – their thoughtfulness and generosity should be acknowledged with a written thank-you. It’s not a waste of your time.

People are inclined to be more generous to those who show their appreciation, as you will learn in many situations as time passes.

Dear Abby: My sister has a 1-year-old baby boy we all adore. He is a cute little guy.

My sister is understandably proud, but sometimes I feel it goes too far.

She sends pictures of him with captions like, “Cutest

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips Baby Ever,” or “He’s the BEST!” She dresses him in shirts that say, “FAVORITE” or “The Greatest.”

I feel it is rude to other parents and insensitive to other kids because it implies that other people’s children don’t measure up. Also, there are some adorable little cousins living in the same household as the “perfect” baby.

We ALL have attractive children, but not all of us feel the need to put others down in order to compliment our offspring. Am I overly sensitive, or is my sister tactless?

– Idaho Auntie Dear Idaho Auntie: Your sister is over-the-moon about her baby boy. Shirts like this for toddlers are very common.

The children in that household are probably too young to read what’s printed on the T-shirts and feel slighted, so simmer down and don’t take it personally.

Dear Abby: Some time ago we were given a very expensive dining room set by relatives. No one else in the family wanted it, and we took it because our dining room

pieces were old.

Now we would like to sell this set and buy something less formal and more comfortable. Do we have any obligation to the original owners? – Needs Advice in New Hampshire Dear Needs Advice: If the dining room set was “lent” to you by the relatives, you should consult them. However, if it was GIVEN to you, then you have no obligation to do so and you may dispose of it as you wish.

Dear Abby: I have overheard a person who works as an aide at the local elementary school talking about the students – discussing their special needs, behavioral issues, etc. I think it is appalling that she’s relaying confidential information to others in the community.

The rule for employees here is, “What happens in the school stays in the school.”

I’m not sure what to do.

I have heard from her too many times that it was “just an oversight” on her part.

Should I let the parents of these students know, or make the school administrators aware of the situation?

The people listening are, of course, just as guilty. Perhaps it’s not my place to interfere; however, I find her behavior to be unprofessional, and she

should not be working in such a setting.

If you publish this, I hope it will be all it takes to open someone’s eyes and seal their lips. What do you think? – Boiling Over in New England Dear Boiling Over: I’m printing your letter, but I doubt it will silence the wagging tongue of a gossip who uses confidential information to get attention. What you should do is inform the principal of the school and let him or her “seal the leak.” If that doesn’t work, you should inform the parents because they may want to take action.

But don’t jump the gun; go through channels first.

Dear Abby: I have a friend whose son is in sales, and he asked to give me a presentation. My friend instructed me that I was under no obligation to purchase anything; he just needed to practice it. I complied and didn’t buy anything he was pitching.

He has now contacted me again to do another presentation because he has changed companies and wants to “practice” again. I dislike sales pitches and I’m also very busy. Ordinarily, I would just say no. However, because he’s my friend’s son I am unsure how to respond.

Can you give me any sugges-

tions? – Anonymous Out West Dear Anonymous: Because you agreed previously, the young man may not realize that his asking again is an imposition. All you need to do is tell him that you are very busy. Then explain that you agreed the last time as a special favor to his parent, that you can’t do it, but you wish him luck with the new company.

Dear Abby: What do you do when the hostess at a club meeting won’t tolerate shared information or food, but instead tells you to be quiet and listen only to HER history, gripes and opinions? – Dues Payer, Anywhere, U.S.A. Dear Dues Payer: Before or after some of those meetings, have a chat with other club members. Find out if they, too, are being treated this way and, if they are, how they feel about it. If you are all dues-paying members and can vote, it may be possible to remove her as hostess. However, if you are the only person she does this with, you might be happier being involved in another organization where your contributions will be appreciated instead of stifled.

Manage painful gout by preventing the attacks Dear Dr. K: What caused my gout? Will avoiding certain foods prevent flare-ups?

Dear Reader: Gout is a painful joint condition. I know, because I’ve suffered from it. I spoke to my Harvard Medical School colleague, rheumatologist Dr. Robert Shmerling, to get the latest information.

Gout attacks come on suddenly, with sharp pain, often in a single joint. The big toe is a common target. (I’ve put an illustration on my website, AskDoctorK.com.) Some people have flare-ups every few weeks; others go years between attacks. Fortunately, I’ve had only two attacks in the past eight years.

Gout flares when the levels of uric acid, a chemical

ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff produced in the body, rise in the blood. Some of the uric acid leaves the blood and enters the joints. There, it forms crystals. The crystals trigger inflammation and severe pain, sometimes with fever and muscle aches. The crystals also can build up in the kidneys and cause kidney stones.

Everyone produces uric acid; some people just make too much. In other people, the kidneys don’t eliminate enough uric acid in the urine.

Certain foods that are rich in a chemical that the body

turns into uric acid can set off gout attacks in people who are already prone to them.

Gout attacks respond well to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). (The exception is aspirin, which can raise uric acid levels.)

A drug called colchicine is a mainstay of gout treatment. A brief course of oral corticosteroids can also do the job.

The key to managing gout is to prevent attacks in the first place. Preventive medication can help if you have frequent attacks, severe attacks, a history of kidney stones or gout that affects several joints.

Three types of medication can help prevent gout attacks: • Medication to help the kidneys excrete uric acid.

• Medication to reduce uric acid production.

• Anti-inflammatory medication.

Avoiding certain foods can help prevent gout attacks. But keep expectations realistic: Only about 10 percent of the body’s uric acid comes from food.

Avoid or limit: • All meats, especially liver and “sweetbreads” (pancreas, thymus and other organs) • Meat extracts and gravies • Seafood, especially sardines and anchovies • Yeast and yeast extracts • Beans, peas and lentils • Spinach and asparagus • Cauliflower • Mushrooms • Beer or hard liquor • Sugary (fructose-contain-

ing) soft drinks Eating and drinking lowfat dairy products and eating cherries have been linked in some studies with lower attack rates of gout.

Finally, losing weight can lower uric acid levels and attacks of gout. And always drink enough water to avoid dehydration.

My last attack of gout occurred during a family party on a hot summer afternoon. I had a fair amount of red meat and beans and a few beers. I probably also was a bit dehydrated. Yes, I admit it: I don’t always follow the advice that I give in this column.
