County budget of $77.1M proposed

By JESSI HAISH

Finance committee reviews $400K in possible cuts

jhaish@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – As the DeKalb County prepares its 2015 budget, finance committee members have chosen to consider ways to make up to $400,000 in possible general fund cuts.

The final budget will not be up for County Board approval until November, but board members held a question and answer session Wednesday regarding the proposed budget. The finance committee, which met beforehand, reviewed a list of possible cuts

to departments, although the proposed budget does not reflect those cuts.

The proposed budget shows $800,000 being used from the county’s fund balance to help the county break even for the year. The finance committee voted to find ways to cut that in half, although they did not vote to make any specific cuts at this time, after board member Anthony Cvek, R-Sycamore, moved for members to find possible cuts.

Four options for cuts were presented to the committee by County Administrator Gary Hanson and Finance Director Pete Stefan, which reflected possible cuts of $400,000, $800,000, $950,000 or $1.1 millions. Hanson said the proposed budget was being recommended to the committee, but the cuts were there for members to consider. Most committee members were opposed to cutting more than $400,000.

“The proposed budget

shows we’re not on a track of doom, though,” Hanson said.

The proposed budget shows $77.1 million in revenues and the same in expenses. The general fund shows $28.5 million in revenues and the same in expenses, because of using $800,000 from the fund balance to break even.

County department appeals to the proposed budget may also have an effect on the final budget, as those are due back to the county by the end of the month.

Some County Board members proposed looking into possible revenues rather than focusing on cuts, such as the county’s enterprise zone application, which if approved, could drive new businesses to the county.

The increased tipping fees from the county landfill, which will generate their first check at the end of this month, are expected to bring in about $80,000 this month, Stefan said. He said the intent for the money has been

TIME TO GET AWAY

to put it toward the county jail expansion, but County Board Chairman Jeff Metzger suggested using accumulated money in the next five months from that fund to put toward preventing as many cuts as possible.

“We have a forecast of $400,000 coming in from Waste Management,” Metzger said.

“We never dreamt that we’d get the extra money. Sorry [DeKalb County Sheriff Roger Scott], I know it’s earmarked to go toward a new building that we haven’t really agreed

Police: Ambush suspect was re-enactor

By MICHAEL RUBINKAM The Associated Press

While the study didn’t confirm one way or the other whether NIU’s reputation fits, he said it did give interesting insight about how the college’s proximity to many students’ homes affects what they do Friday through Sunday. About 30 percent of the students included in the study said NIU’s location was very important to their decision to enroll there.

“They predetermined they were going home,” Lance said.

“That’s what they were going to do, and that’s what their college experience was going to be.”

About 66 percent of students actually leave at least once a month, which is about 6 percentage points less than the 72 percent of students who started college

Schools closed, kids stayed inside and authorities chased down several false sightings Wednesday in their hunt for the suspect in a fatal ambush outside a rural Pennsylvania State Police barracks.

Police released new details about the background of Eric Frein, a 31-year-old self-taught survivalist who authorities said recently shaved his head in a wide Mohawk, evidently as “part of the mental preparation to commit this cowardly act,” Lt. Col. George Bivens said Eric Frein Wednesday afternoon.

Frein belonged to a military simulation unit based in eastern Pennsylvania whose members play the role of soldiers from Cold War-era eastern Europe, Bivens told reporters.

“In his current frame of mind, Frein appears to have assumed that role in real life,” he said.

Hundreds of law enforcement officials spent a fifth full day Wednesday looking for the gunman who concealed himself outside the Blooming Grove barracks Friday and shot two troopers with a rifle, killing one and wounding the second. Police named Frein the suspect after finding his abandoned SUV, which contained his driver’s license and spent shell casings matching those at the crime scene.

Authorities have followed up on hundreds of tips, massing in a forested area at one point Wednesday after workers reported seeing an armed person wearing camouflage nearby. Police have been “getting sightings all over the place,” but none have panned out so far, Trooper Tom Kelly said.

Frein, of Canadensis, Pennsylvania, is charged with killing Cpl. Bryon Dickson, a 38-year-old married father of two, and critically wounding Trooper Alex Douglass. Dickson’s viewing was Wednesday in the rotunda of Marywood University in Scranton, with Pennsylvania’s attorney general among thousands of mourners paying respects. Gov. Tom Corbett plans to attend Dickson’s funeral today.

State police have warned the public Frein is dangerous, calling him an anti-law enforcement survivalist who has talked about committing mass murder.

Two school districts closed Wednesday because of safety concerns for students and staff.

“Parents are so frightened for their

NIU students discuss why they leave campus on weekends

By KATIE DAHLSTROM

Voice your opinion

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Before he ever set foot on the Northern Illinois University campus, freshman Angelo Gonzalez knew he would spend every other weekend with his family and friends in Chicago.

It’s not that he doesn’t have friends or connections to the campus in DeKalb, an hour jaunt from his home. Going home every other weekend was just the way he planned to spend his time in college.

“I go home to be with family,” said Gonzalez, 18. “I’m like the man of the household, so I have to take care of a few things.”

A study NIU officials conducted earlier this year shows that Gonzalez is pretty similar to many of his freshman peers.

Based on a sample of 250 freshman and first-year transfer students, nearly 72 percent said they intended to leave campus at least once a month.

Close to 82 percent of the students said they go home on the weekends to see family and

Brian Lance is the director of planning and assessment for NIU, the department that completed

and issued the Weekend Behavior Survey early this year. He said part of the point was to investigate the longstanding belief that NIU is a “suitcase school,” one where students come with a suitcase on Monday and leave on Friday.

The Associated Press LOS ANGELES – For animal trainers on film sets, the job can be wild. Getting snakes on a plane takes a bit of heat or light, but cajoling a bear to perform for the camera can require buckets of fried chicken.

Casey the bear, seen in “Evan Almighty” and other movies, had that diva-like demand written into his contract. KFC was his favorite, and it had to be fresh. Sometimes, on remote locations, it would take a 90-minute drive to get to the nearest fast food outpost, his trainer said.

The story is among those in the book “Animal Stars,” a behind-the-scenes look at how trainers get species from badgers to bears to safely do what dazzles. Set for release Sept. 25, the book is co-written by the head of the American Humane Association, whose entertainment unit is the industry’s only sanctioned animal welfare program. The book celebrates the unit’s 75th anniversary this year.

The group will come on set for a fee to ensure animal safety. If all goes well, it allows the familiar tagline “No animals were harmed in the making of this film” to roll in movie credits.

But for another animal welfare group, the efforts are not enough. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals said it opposes the use of live animals in film and TV work. And if animals appear on camera, there are ways to make the work more humane, said Kathy Guillermo, a PETA senior vice president.

“A behaviorist would be very helpful, and somebody who can enforce the law should be there, too,” she said about film sets. The American Humane Association recently required all of its on-set representatives to be veterinarians.

The book features quotes from actors and directors like Quentin Tarantino, who said animals need an advocate.

“They need somebody saying, ‘No, it’s too much.’ ‘They’re too tired.’ ‘It’s too scary for them.’ ‘Something could happen,’ ” the “Django Unchained” director said in the book. “You can do amazing, eye-popping things. You just need the time to train the animals and

The film is among many animal-related films mentioned in the book “Animal Stars,” a behind-the-scenes look at how trainers get everything from badgers to bears to safely do what dazzles. get them ready so they don’t get hurt.”

Trainers like Nicholas Toth also offer their insights. Toth divulged that besides Casey’s KFC fix, the bear refused to leave his trailer if it rained.

It’s a bit easier for Jules Sylvester, a snake wrangler and herpetologist for nearly 45 years whose 18-foot Burmese python was the star of “Snakes on a Plane.” He also provided 450 other snakes.

Snakes can’t exactly be trained, he said, so if you want them to move in a certain direction, you work with light, height and heat.

The book features a poignant passage about a monkey on the set of “Night at the Museum” and actor Robin Williams, who committed suicide last month.

Williams preferred to spend time between takes with Crystal the monkey, trainer Thomas Gunderson wrote.

When the monkey’s scenes wrapped, Williams and the rest of the cast gave her a big card and a cake.

“Laughter filled the soundstage when I let her dive headfirst into the dessert,” Gunderson wrote.

Robin Ganzert, president and CEO of the American Humane Association who co-wrote “Animal Stars” with Linda and Allen Anderson, said the last decade has been largely free of animal accidents on set.

In one high-profile incident, three horses were injured and had to be euthanized during production of the HBO series “Luck,” a racetrack drama starring Dustin Hoffman and Nick Nolte, in 2011 and 2012.

The association recommended shutting down the set after the second death, The Associated Press reported at the time. Filming resumed after new protocols were put in place. Despite the guidelines, a third horse had to be euthanized and HBO agreed to end production.

“We estimate, including everything from cockroaches to horses, that we protect over 100,000-plus animal actors a year,” Ganzert said.

MacArthur ‘genius grant’ winners named

By DON BABWIN The Associated Press CHICAGO – A professor whose research is helping a California police department improve its strained relationship with the black community and a lawyer who advocates for victims of domestic abuse are among the 21 winners of this year’s MacArthur Foundation “genius grants.”

The Chicago-based John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation announced Wednesday the 2014 recipients, who will each receive $625,000 to spend any way they like.

The professor and lawyer, part of an eclectic group that also includes scientists, mathematicians, historians, a cartoonist and a composer, are among several recipients whose work involves topics that have dominated the news in the past year.

“I think getting this [grant] speaks to people’s sense that this is the kind

of work that needs to be done,” said recipient Jennifer Eberhardt, a Stanford University social psychologist who has researched racial stereotypes and crime.

Shrouded in secrecy, the selection process involves nominations from anonymous groups and recommendations from the foundation’s board of directors. Recipients have no idea they’ve won until they get a call from the foundation, and even then recipients have been known to wonder initially if someone is trying to trick them.

John Henneberger, a housing advocate in Texas, said he was so stunned when he got his call that he had to sit down.

“I got really quiet and they [people he was with] were asking me, ‘Did somebody die?’ ” he said.

Eberhart’s work prompted the Oakland, California, police department to ask for her help studying racial biases among its officers and how those biases

play out on the street – topics that have been debated nationally in the wake of the police shooting of Michael Brown, an unarmed black 18-year-old in Missouri.

Eberhardt, who is also studying the use of body cameras by police – another topic of particular interest since Brown’s shooting – said, “I hope this will show the work matters, holds value and promotes social change.”

The justice system is also at the heart of Sarah Deer’s work as a legal scholar and advocate for Native American women living on reservations, who suffer higher-than-average rates of domestic abuse and sexual violence.

The awards, given annually since 1981, are doled out over a five-year period. This year’s class brings the number of recipients to more than 900.

Most winners are not widely known outside their fields, but the list has over the years included writer Susan Sontag and filmmaker John Sayles.

DeKalb man again accused of stalking, violating order

By ANDREA AZZO aazzo@shawmedia.com DeKALB – A DeKalb man convicted earlier this year of aggravated stalking and violating an order of protection now is accused of the same offenses against the same person: his estranged wife.

Glenn Ouellette, 63, of the 1500 block of Grand Avenue, is accused of following Glenn his wife’s car Ouellette while driving a vehicle Aug. 5 along Route 23 in Sycamore, court records show. He was charged with aggravated stalking, stalking and violation of an order of protection.

He is also accused of being at Hopkins Park band shelter July 29 when his wife was also there, even though an order of protection issued April 1, 2013, prevents Ouellette from being near his wife or her workplace, according to

court records.

Ouellette was convicted of violating the order of protection in DeKalb County six times, court records show.

He was sentenced April 21 to 2 1/2 years of probation after he pleaded guilty in February to aggravated stalking and violating the order of protection.

Ouellette’s wife said in court records in 2013 that she wanted the protection against her husband because he is a suicidal alcoholic who becomes irrational when he’s angry, court records show.

Months later, police found recordings on Ouellette’s phone in which he threatened her and talked about killing her; the recordings were never sent to her.

The most serious charge Ouellette faces, aggravated stalking, is typically punishable by probation or between three and seven years in prison.

Ouellette was being held in jail with no bond Wednesday.

He is next due in court today.

Police: DNA links DeKalb man to 2012 battery, home invasion

By ANDREA AZZO aazzo@shawmedia.com DeKALB – It has been almost two years since a DeKalb man told police he was beaten up while he was sleeping in his apartment, and now, a suspect is in jail, court records show.

DeKalb police said DNA Scott found on gloves Brown left behind after the December 2012 attack linked Scott T. Brown, 28, of the 1200 block of Mason Street, DeKalb, to the crime. Police received the DNA results from a crime lab Monday and arrested Brown on Tuesday, court records show.

The victim told police two unknown people broke into his apartment Dec. 12, 2012, while he was sleeping and hit him at least 15 times with

a bludgeon-type object, court records show. The victim was put into a choke-hold, had his mouth duct-taped shut and was knocked unconscious, according to court records. When he woke up several hours later, his hands were bound and he was bleeding from his head, authorities said.

The attack broke the victim’s nose and possibly fractured an elbow, and he received several stitches and staples in the front, sides and back of his head, police said.

DeKalb police are still trying to identify the second suspect involved, said DeKalb police Lt. Bob Redel.

Brown was charged with home invasion and aggravated battery. If convicted of home invasion, he could face between six and 30 years in prison.

Brown remained in jail Wednesday unable to post 10 percent of his $500,000 bond.

He is next due in court Friday.

DeKalb WWII veteran takes Honor Flight

By JESSI HAISH jhaish@shawmedia.com DeKALB – For days, Jim Rogers has been thinking about the World War II monument in Washington, D.C. Rogers, 93, took a day trip to the city last week, visiting multiple statues, monuments and the Arlington National Cemetery. He was impressed by the sights, especially the World War II monument, which he found beautiful, but it was no ordinary tourist vacation.

“Oh boy, was that a dandy,” Rogers said. “I didn’t get much sleep. It was quite a trip.”

Rogers is a World War II veteran and participated Sept. 10 in an Honor Flight, which takes veterans to Washington for a day to see the monuments associated with the war they served during. When he returned home that evening, friends and family welcomed him back with balloons and posters at Midway Airport.

Rogers is a resident at Bethany Rehabilitation & Health Care Center in DeKalb.

His daughter, Sandie Toms, 66, arranged for his flight through the Honor Flight Network in Chicago.

Rogers was on seven ships during his six years in the Navy, after he enlisted in 1939. He spent much of his time tending to the boilers on the ships.

He was surprised that they weren’t found by enemy forces.

recognition for his service to his country.

“It was more than what we hoped it could be,” she said. “It’s been a wonderful experience for us and him.”

Rogers said his seven grandchildren and seven great grandchildren were particularly excited about his Honor Flight experience.

Toms said Rogers didn’t rest for the entire daylong trip.

Rogers said the day was worth every minute.

DeKalb woman airlifted after crash

By KATIE DAHLSTROM kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com CORTLAND – A 58-yearold DeKalb woman was airlifted Wednesday to OSF St. Anthony Medical Center in Rockford after her vehicle drifted across the centerline and collided with an oncoming car, authorities said.

Debra L. Gwaltney, of the 500 block of Haish Boulevard, was driving east on Route 38 near Loves Road in Cortland about 10 a.m., according to a DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office news release. Her Chevrolet Malibu drifted across the centerline and struck an oncoming Nissan driven by Jade J. Smith, 20, of the 2200 block of Concord Lane in Sycamore.

WILLIAM ALLEN TUNE Born: May 16, 1972 Died: Sept. 12, 2014 William Allen Tune, 42, of Chicago, IL died at Illinois Masonic Medical Center of cancer.

William was born May 16, 1972, to Christine (Franklin, Tune) Crane of Malta, IL and Lenro Allen Tune of Missouri. William was a graduate of DeKalb High School, class of 1991. He then started a career in hospitality as a Concierge in prestigious Hotels in Chicago. He enjoyed traveling abroad and Fine Arts.

He is survived by his parents, Christine Crane and Lenro Tune.

A sister, Rachel (Tune) Johnson.

Richard “Dick” Woodrick (aka “The King,” “Gick,” “Papa,” “ Chez,” “Oompapa,” “Rampy,” “Grandpa”...) was born on January 23, 1931, and passed away at his home in Sugar Grove, IL, on September 15, 2014. In addition to his many names, he was a man of countless, repetitive jokes and stories. He was a fan of a myriad of things, from Jesus to Hooters.

He lived like he loved - long and strong.

Dick would give you the shirt off his back (after all, he accumulated hundreds during his various travels) and he always knew how to make one laugh.

He loved his wife something fierce; even after 64 years together there was no one else he would have chosen to have by his side.

He always said the secret to their marriage was that he got to make ALL the major decisions, of which so far there have been none.

Dick was a life-long resident of the Hinckley area, where he was lovingly raised by his grandparents,

Eli and Molly Boekenhauer.

He is survived by Alouise Bromeland Woodrick, whom he always loved to introduce as his “first wife.” They were united in marriage on January 7, 1950, at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Hinckley. His surviving children are, Sue McKirgan of Scottsdale, AZ, Stephen (Rhonda) Woodrick of Sycamore, IL; daughter-in-law, Rhonda Woodrick of Hinckley, IL, Carol (David) Dickson of Lynden, WA, and Kim (John) Powers of Cedar Rapids, IA, (actually Central City).

Dick is also survived by an even dozen grandchildren, who were often caught rolling their eyes or shaking their heads at him. In order of their parents, they are, Renae Larson, Heather Reser, Ryan Gilchrist, and Matt McKirgan; Michael Woodrick and Nicole Woodrick; Megan Woodrick; Elizabeth DeZeeuw, Andrew Dickson, and Emily Larkin; and Benjamin Powers and Connor “Bus” Powers.

Bringing up the rear of the genetic lineage are ten great grandchildren, Jack, Emma, Katie, Shay, Sam, Libbie, Zoe, Daisy, Dawson, and Owen. Papa checked on his grandchildren several times a day on his always-present iPad, when he could remember his ever-changing password.

Dick is also survived by his sister, Jackie (Don) Wolff; and brother, Ron (Carolyn) Woodrick; and numerous close extended family members.

Dick fought incredibly hard through four different types of cancers, but in the end he fell short, much like his beloved Cubbies. He was ready to go home to hug his children who passed before him, Sharon at age seven weeks, Sandy at age thirty-one, and Kevin at age forty-five. He was also preceded in

death by his brother, Bob Woodrick.

Of all his various occupations, he most enjoyed his early years on the farm and later his partnership in W&W Construction with his son, Kevin. In addition to building homes for various family members, his legacy also lives on through the doors that were hung, the walls that were painted while he was precariously perched on make-shift scaffolding, and whatever touch-ups or fix-its he felt needed to be addressed during his visits. He enjoyed numerous fishing trips, especially to Greenville where his lifelong buddy and best friend, Amuel Royer, shared many a day fishing and swapping extremely tall tales.

Never one for formalities, Dick chose to live out his last days surrounded by the love and laughter of his family, foregoing the traditional funeral - it just wasn’t his style.

The family would like to thank the caregivers who provided laughter and amazing care, especially over this past year.

If you are so inclined, the family requests donations to be directed toward Hospice or your favorite fishery.

School district police stock up free military gear

By TAMI ABDOLLAH The Associated Press LOS ANGELES – School police departments across the country have taken advantage of free military surplus gear, stocking up on mine resistant armored vehicles, grenade launchers and scores of M16 rifles.

At least 26 school districts have participated in the Pentagon’s surplus program, which is not new but has come under scrutiny after police responded to protesters in Ferguson, Missouri, last month with tear gas, armored military trucks and riot gear.

Now, amid that increased criticism, several school districts say they’ll give some of the equipment back. Nearly two dozen education and civil liberties groups sent a letter earlier this week to the Pentagon and the Justice and Education departments urging a stop to transfers of military weapons to school police.

The Los Angeles Unified

School District – the nation’s second largest school district covering 710 square miles and enrolling more than 900,000 students – said it would remove three grenade launchers it had acquired because they “are not essential life-saving items within the scope, duties and mission” of the district’s police force.

But the district plans to keep the 60 M16s and a min-resistant ambush protected vehicle used in Iraq and Afghanistan that was built to withstand mine blasts.

District police Chief Steve Zipperman told The Associated Press that the M16s are used for training, and the MRAP, which is parked off campus, was acquired because the district could not afford to buy armored vehicles that might be used to protect officers and help students in a school shooting.

“That vehicle is used in very extraordinary circumstances involving a life-saving situation for an armed threat,”

AP file photo

A Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected vehicle sits in front of police headquarters July 16 in Watertown, Conn. The L.A. Unified’s School District police department received an MRAP vehicle like this one through a federal program.

Zipperman said. “Quite frankly I hope we never have to deploy it.”

Law enforcement agencies around the country equipped themselves during learner budget years by turning to the Pentagon program, which the Defense Department has used to get rid of gear it no longer

needs. Since the Columbine school shooting in 1999, school districts increasingly participated.

Federal records show schools in Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Michigan, Nevada, Texas and Utah obtained surplus military gear. At least six California districts have

received equipment, state records show.

In response to police tactics after a white policeman fatally shot an unarmed black 18-yearold in Ferguson, the White House said it would review the surplus program, and Congress plans hearings on it.

U.S. Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., said while there’s a role for surplus equipment going to local police departments, “it’s difficult to see what scenario would require a grenade launcher or a mine resistant vehicle for a school police department.”

In Texas, Tina Veal-Gooch, executive director of public relations at Texarkana ISD, said the 2012 school shooting in Newton, Connecticut, led the district to acquire assault rifles. The district has no plans to return the weapons.

In Florida, Rick Stelljes, the chief of Pinellas County schools police, said Wednesday that the county has 28 semi-automatic M16 rifles. They have never been used, and he hopes

they are never needed.

But, he said, they are “something we need given the current situation we face in our nation. This is about preparing for the worst-case scenario.”

San Diego Unified School District is painting its MRAP white and hoping to use the Red Cross symbol on it to assuage community worries, said Ursula Kroemer, a district spokeswoman. The MRAP has been stripped of weapon mounts and turrets and will be outfitted with medical supplies and teddy bears for use in emergencies to evacuate students and staff, she said.

Jill Poe, police chief in the Southern California’s Baldwin Park school district, said she’ll be returning the three M16 rifles acquired under her predecessor.

“Honestly, I could not tell you why we acquired those,” Poe said. “They have never been used in the field and they will never been used in the field.”

Walker’s allies rush to aid Wisconsin GOP governor The Associated Press MADISON, Wis.– Gov. Scott Walker is in another tight political spot, and his allies are again rushing to the Republican’s rescue, powering his re-election bid and trying to keep alive his presidential prospects.

On the ballot for a third time in four years, Walker is in a tough race against Democrat Mary Burke, the former Trek Bicycles executive who has proved more formidable than his previous rivals.

A poll released Wednesday shows the race is a dead heat.

“The more these polls

come out, the more people realize it’s going to take a lot of hard work,” Walker said in an interview before the latest numbers surfaced.

If Walker is to mount a presidential campaign, as widely expected, he first must win re-election. A loss in November could hobble him in national politics ahead of the 2016 White House race.

So big-time help is on the way.

The National Rifle Association and a Republican Governors Association-backed group, Right Direction Wisconsin, are airing about $525,000 in ads this week alone. Total GOP-leaning spending on advertising is

now at close to $7 million, outpacing the Democrats’ $5.4 million on the air.

Walker’s allies know the drill.

The RGA spent $5 million to help elect him in 2010 and $10 million more to keep him there during a 2012 union-driven recall, when Walker became the first governor in U.S. history to survive such an effort.

Already this year, the governors’ group has spent $3 million to aid Walker, and that number is expected to more than double by Election Day, Nov. 4.

Republicans say that if Walker needs more than that, he’ll have it. Walker is at the

top of their list of incumbents to defend.

The NRA has a $1 million ad buy booked through mid-October and could renew if the race remains tight.

In a twist, Walker’s political future could rest with a potential Republican rival in 2016, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.

Christie heads the RGA and has opened the committee’s bank accounts for Walker. If Walker were to lose, his supporters could blame Christie for cutting off the money, potentially adding to Christie’s image as a political bully.

To head that off, Christie plans to campaign with Walker on Sept. 29.

Desperate Gazans flee to Europe in risky trips Muted expectations for

By KARIN LAUB and IBRAHIM BARZAK The Associated Press ABASSAN, Gaza Strip – The university student was desperate to flee Gaza after suffering through years of border closures and three wars.

In early September, a week after the latest war between Gaza’s ruling Hamas and Israel, 22-year-old Mohammed Abu Toaimeh crossed into neighboring Egypt. He handed $2,000 to traffickers and boarded a ship that was to smuggle him to Europe.

Instead, he and dozens of other Gazans are missing amid reports that smugglers sank their vessel on purpose.

Mohammed’s mother, Ahlam, is plagued by guilt because she helped him scrape together money for the trip.

“I had hoped he could begin a new life, better than this life of war and destruction,” she said in between sobs.

In the past two months, more than 1,300 Gazans are believed to have gone to Egypt, some even sneaking in through a border tunnel, to embark on illicit sea voyages, said Ramy Abdu, a human rights activist tracking the trafficking.

It’s a new escape route and a measure of growing desperation in the crowded sliver of land where two-thirds of those younger than 30 are unemployed.

Dreams of emigration are

Traditionally, young men in Gaza have been encouraged by their families to work abroad and send money home.

In recent years, some avenues of escape remained open, despite a border blockade imposed by Israel and Egypt after the Hamas militant group’s takeover of Gaza in 2007.

Most would-be emigrants have flown to Europe or the Far East from Egypt, often on student or tourist visas, and then attempted to stay. Travel on migrant boats was unusual.

However, options diminished after Egypt’s military

toppled a Hamas-friendly government in Cairo in mid-2013.

Egypt’s new rulers sealed hundreds of smuggling tunnels under the border, cutting Gaza’s main economic lifeline, and tightened travel restrictions. The restrictions sharply reduced the number of Gazans allowed to cross legally into Egypt and those who were permitted to fly from Cairo’s airport.

The recent 50-day war only strengthened the belief of many here that they have no future in Gaza.

More than 2,100 Gazans were killed and more than 18,000 homes destroyed in the fighting. With Hamas sticking to its militant ideology, there are no signs that Israel and Egypt will ease the blockade

Bivens: ‘Residents should remain alert and vigilant’ • SUSPECT Continued from page A1 children,” said Pocono Mountain School Board member Annabella Lastowski. “People are wondering if the suspect is in the area or has fled the area.

That is the unknown and that is what’s bothering people the most.”

She said her neighbors were keeping their school-age children inside.

Bivens said residents should remain “alert and vigilant,” report suspicious activity, lock doors and keep house exteriors well lit. But he said he is “convinced Frein is engaged in a personal battle with law enforcement, particularly the Pennsylvania State Police, and will likely stay focused on that fight.”

Frein has nursed an unspecified grudge against law enforcement and government in general at least since 2006, Bivens said.

In 2004, he was charged

with burglary and grand larceny after police accused him of stealing items from vendors at a World War II re-enactment in Odessa, New York. He failed to show for his trial, and was arrested in Pennsylvania as a fugitive from justice, said Lt. Craig Gallow of the Schuyler County Sheriff’s Department in New York.

Frein evidently tried to make his escape Friday night in a 2001 Jeep Cherokee, authorities said. Three days later, a man walking his dog stumbled across the partly submerged SUV in a swamp about 2 miles away and called 911.

As he has on previous days, Bivens used a news conference Wednesday to address the suspect directly: “In the event you are listening to this broadcast on a portable radio while cowering in some cold, damp hiding place, I want you to know one thing.

significantly.

In mid-July, about a week after the outbreak of the war, a gang of Egyptian smugglers and Palestinian middlemen began advertising sea trips to Europe as cheap and safe, said Abdu.

Word of the boat trips quickly spread among the young men of Gaza, including Mohammed Abu Toaimeh, his 26-year-old brother Firas and their 19-year-old cousin, Hussein al-Jorf, who pleaded with their parents to raise the money.

There was little to keep the three in Gaza.

Mohammed and Hussein were studying law at a Gaza City university, with little prospect of employment after graduation.

Mohammed and Firas lived together in their family’s old home, which during the war was seized by Israeli soldiers.

Mohammed’s bedroom had served as a sniper’s position, with two holes cut into a wall at shoulder level and the words “west” and “southwest” scribbled in Hebrew next to them.

In the end, Firas stayed in Gaza because his parents couldn’t afford the voyage for both sons. Hussein left Gaza on Sept. 1 and Mohammed followed two days later.

Both entered Egypt legally via the Rafah border crossing with Gaza, after having obtained papers naming each as an escort for a parent seeking medical treatment in Egypt, the mother, Ahlam, explained.

Obama, Rouhani meeting

By JULIE PACE The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – One year ago, President Barack Obama and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani came close to ending the decades-long freeze on face-toface meetings between their countries’ leaders.

Next week both men are scheduled to again be in New York for United Nations meetings but expectations for even a handshake are more muted than they were last fall. While lower level officials from both countries are now in regular contact, deadlocked nuclear talks – as well as the complexities of the fight against militants in the Middle East – are clouding the prospects for an elusive leaders’ meeting.

“The state of play between the United States and Iran is too fragile to endure what would be the shock of a direct meeting,” said Robin Wright, a joint fellow at the Wilson Center and the U.S. Institute of Peace in Washington.

An in-person meeting between the two leaders would mark a substantive shift in the way the U.S. has dealt with Iran for decades and could eventually open the door for talks on matters beyond Tehran’s disputed nuclear program. It would

also mark the fulfillment of a pledge Obama made as a presidential candidate when he said he would be willing to talk to America’s adversaries without preconditions.

Obama spokesman Josh Earnest said a meeting with Rouhani is not on Obama’s “dance card” next week, though the White House has not ruled out the possibility that the two men could have an encounter on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly. Obama and Rouhani will both arrive in New York early next week for meetings with world leaders and speeches to the UN. White House officials said repeatedly that Obama was willing to meet with the new, more moderate-sounding Iranian leader. And when plans for the meeting eventually fell apart, U.S. officials made clear that it was the Iranians who balked, not Obama.

Still, Obama and Rouhani did speak by telephone for 15 minutes, the first time the presidents of the United States and Iran had talked directly since the 1979 Iranian revolution and siege of the American embassy. The conversation was hailed as an historic breakthrough, and Obama said it offered the prospect of the two countries moving beyond their difficult history.

What2do@NIU site launched to alert students to campus activities Continued from page A1 expecting to go home at least once a month. Most go home to visit friends and family, but other reasons for leaving campus include work, going to Chicago or visiting friends on other campuses.

Close to 7 percent of students surveyed said they were frustrated by the lack of things to do on the weekend, with several of them using variations of “boring” to describe what campus is like on the weekends.

Boring is a fitting word for DeKalb, said Archie Darrough, a junior at NIU who ventures from his DeKalb apartment to his mom’s home in Lansing about twice a month.

He makes the trek because he knows he can make quick money in Lansing by working odd jobs, although he has a job at DeKalb’s Nestle plant.

Darrough, 22, also wants to check in on his mom and grandma. Even if he didn’t want a little extra cash or his mom’s home cooking, he said DeKalb wouldn’t be a place he’d really think of staying.

“There’s no concerts on the weekend, especially in the winter,” Darrough said. “You can get it in the city. You can’t get it in DeKalb.”

Reasons students leave campus on weekends Visit friends and family..........................................................82 percent Family obligations...................................................................40 percent Going to Chicago ....................................................................19 percent Visiting friends at other campuses......................................15 percent Work..........................................................................................12 percent

Source: NIU Weekend Behavior Survey That’s where NIU Director of Communications and Marketing Brad Hoey and the new effort, “What2do@NIU” come in. The university launched a website that serves as the central point for all campus happenings.

“It really gets down to how do we enhance the experience for NIU students,” Hoey said.

“It’s more than NIU football.”

NIU leaders also want students to stay so they will venture into DeKalb, which Hoey said will build the cool college town atmosphere that city and university leaders have publicly pined for.

Although a couple of the businesses that could pull students downtown have left or will leave next year. Otto’s closed in January after city staff deemed it unsafe and condemned the building. Down the block, Moxie owner Megan Morrison announced she will close her shop by the middle of next year.

Lance said while university leaders can try to tout more

weekend activities, they also need to promote weekday activities for students who intend to go home on the weekends.

“It’s not like we can create more activities that bring in family and friends,” Lance said. “We can try, but there’s only so many things we can control.”

Being involved in more weekday activities moved 19-year-old sophomore Kailynn Holloway out of the frequent leaver category.

She said in the beginning of her freshman year she was homesick, which meant she went home to Chicago pretty frequently. But over the past year she made friends, got involved in volleyball and started frequenting Greek events.

Now, she plans to go home for major holidays.

She said the key to her change was getting out of her dorm room.

“Go have fun,” Holloway said. “You’ll figure yourself out.”

Proposed budget ‘a standard one’ • BUDGET Continued from page A1 on yet, but if it comes down to sacrificing services or sacrificing staff, there’s close to a $400,000 tipping fee from Waste Management.”

Scott was opposed to the idea of transferring those

funds elsewhere.

“The jail money, with all due respect to the chairman, should not be touched,” Scott said. “We put this off for 15 years. Now we’re starting to see a little daylight, we’re not even close to the sunshine yet and you start taking away that, then you’re on a real trip to a disaster with this jail.”

As for the proposed budget, Stefan called this year’s budget a standard one, stating that the biggest difference this year would be costs associated with the opening of a seventh county courtroom. Costs include addition of court clerks, assistant public defenders, and parttime bailiff positions, about $300,000 in staffing costs.

The numbers behind NIU’s decline in enrollment

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Replace ash trees with sycamores To the Editor: After reading the Daily Chronicle’s “Thumbs-down” item about DeKalb and Sycamore losing a great number of ash trees (Satur-

day, Sept. 13, page A11), I have a suggestion for a follow up.

Plant sycamore trees. Why? Because they are closely tied to our area’s history. This is what Wikipedia said about the meaning of the word “Kishwaukee,” the

name of our river, our community college, our community symphony orchestra, and more: “The name Kishwaukee is derived from the Potowatomi word meaning the ‘river of the sycamore.’

The Potowatomi used the large

sycamore trees in the river valley for dugout canoes. ... The river demarks the northern most natural range of the sycamore tree.”

Time to start planting?!

Hillary’s new message should scare GOP Over the weekend, Hillary Clinton went to Iowa for the first time since she lost the caucuses there in 2008. If her remarks there are any indication, she’s planning to campaign for president in 2016 on two themes: the war on women and middle-class economic struggles.

Not everyone understands what she’s up to. The Washington Post, for instance, said that Clinton used her speech “to address growing concerns in her party about income inequality.” The story then quotes her: “American families are working harder than ever, but maintaining a middle-class life feels like pushing a boulder uphill every single day.”

That remark isn’t about inequality, however. Clinton is actually following President Barack Obama’s example of moving away from the discussion about income disparities.

Credit gets you a flat-panel TV, not economic growth

By NOAH SMITH Bloomberg News It’s pretty obvious how credit drives my personal household consumption. If I borrow, I can get a nice big TV and a new car, but eventually I’ll have to skimp to pay it back. In a way, the consumption-fueled borrowing binge is an illusion of wealth – after all, borrowing doesn’t increase my salary.

Pleasure today means pain tomorrow.

Lots of people seem to think that national economies work something like this.

Credit, we are told in article after news article, “fuels” or “drives” growth. Bridgewater Associates founder Ray Dalio, possibly the most successful macro investor in human history, makes this claim in his famous video, “How the Economic Machine Works.” The post-Keynesian economists, a heterodox school of thought exiled to the academic wilderness, have a perspective similar to Dalio’s. On the other side of the political spectrum, the Austrians – another exiled heterodox bunch – believe something similar. Google “credit fueled economic boom” and Austrian Business Cycle Theory is one of the first results.

It isn’t just investors and heterodox economists who believe that credit is the fuel that powers the business cycle – almost every pundit and news outlet seems to believe something similar. In 2009, The Wall Street Journal said that China’s growth was being fueled by cheap debt. In 2013, the Financial Times declared that credit was the only thing allowing China’s economy to tread water. And just recently, Quartz

claimed that China’s unwillingness to allow more lending in the face of a slowdown is actually a good thing, since it chooses pain now over greater pain later. The language of the credit-drives-growth theory is everywhere. It is pervasive.

It seems like the only people who don’t instinctively believe in credit-fueled growth are academic economists.

The academics have good reason for being skeptical. After all, production isn’t the same as consumption. In the example of me borrowing to buy a TV and car, my debt binge doesn’t make my salary – my production – go up at all. But in an economic boom, a country’s total production really does rise – that’s what fast growth means.

In other words, if credit fuels economic booms, then it must do it in a fundamentally different way than the way it fuels a personal consumption binge.

Another reason academics are suspicious of the theory of credit-fueled growth is that when we talk about “credit” at the national level, we mean gross, not net. Most of the money that gets borrowed during a boom is borrowed from people in the same country (at least in a big economy such as the U.S. or China). In fact, during its so-called credit-fueled growth binge, China was actually a net capital exporter, meaning Chinese people were saving more than the entire Chinese economy was borrowing. If taking on debt lets a borrower increase his consumption, why doesn’t making that loan force the lender to decrease his consumption? In other words, if credit is just one American lending to

another, or one Chinese person lending to another, why does it boost growth?

Here’s an alternative idea: Maybe credit is a follower, not a driver, of the boombust cycle. Maybe credit grows when the economy is growing, because of the need to finance investment, and shrinks when the economy is shrinking, because of the lack of investment. In retrospect, looking at a chart of credit growth vs. GDP growth, it might look like credit caused the cycle, but in fact it was just a passive tag-along.

Maybe the cycle was caused by something else – productivity changes, or changes in monetary policy, or changes in people’s sentiment and animal spirits.

I’m not saying I think that’s right. Maybe credit really does drive growth. Maybe excess credit really does force a boom to turn into a bust. But no one has yet come up with a really compelling, testable explanation for how that happens. And no one – except maybe Dalio – has managed to use credit levels, credit-growth levels, acceleration of the ratio of credit-to-gross domestic product, or any such measure to predict when booms and busts will happen.

So this thing that almost everyone believes about the economy is really just a conjecture. Our faith in it is probably based in part on shaky analogies and bad intuition. It might be true, but we shouldn’t regard it as obvious.

With the way costs for students are increasing each year, we shouldn’t be surprised that enrollment at Northern Illinois University is hitting historic lows.

In fact, maybe we should be surprised it’s not even lower.

In 2013, enrollment at NIU fell below any total enrollment figure since at least 1976, and probably for years before then.

For the record This year, enrollment dropped another 527 stuUntil action is taken on dents to 20,611, perilously close to dipping below 20,000, the rising cost of college, students and their families a threshold that hasn’t been crossed in decades. The will continue to be faced undergraduate enrollment of with hard choices about 15,435 is lowest since 1996, a what kind of college experilongtime nadir. ence they can afford.

This year’s figure should be taken as the baseline for the administration of NIU President Douglas Baker, who recently completed his first full year at the helm.

NIU officials tried to make the best of disconcerting numbers, noting that the decrease was the smallest in five years and that student retention improved, with 71 percent of last year’s freshmen returning this year as sophomores.

Baker has talked about making bold changes and is working to implement them. He has pushed to make NIU more student-centric and improve the campus experience for students. He appears eager to create a stronger link between NIU and the city of DeKalb.

The question is whether all of this work will be able to overcome the simple pocketbook issue at play: College is becoming more expensive for students with each passing year.

Enrollment at NIU has dropped 13.5 percent since 2010, while costs for students have moved in the opposite direction and at a faster clip. Full-time students who enter NIU as freshmen this year will pay about $22,900 this school year – and that’s just tuition, fees and room and board, according to the university’s Office of the Bursar. That’s a 30 percent increase over 2010, when the cost was $17,590.

University officials blame declining state funding for higher education, and Illinois did spend 13.5 percent less on higher education in last year’s budget than it did before the Great Recession, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a Washington-based organization devoted to the study of fiscal policy and public programs.

Shrinking enrollment at NIU, which is the No. 1 employer in DeKalb County, has the potential to affect our local economy in several ways, from job losses to fewer dollars spent by students while they are here.

In a broader sense, enrollment declines at NIU, along with at schools across the state, bodes ill for us generally. A high school diploma often is not enough in today’s job market – those without a college education earn less and are more likely to be unemployed than those with college degrees.

But going to a traditional four-year college often means taking on tens of thousands of dollars in student loan debt, which can not be discharged through bankruptcy or other means. The average student who graduated from NIU in 2012 left with more than $30,000 in debt, according to the nonprofit Institute for College Access and Success.

It could be that the answer to declining enrollment is not merely about changing the face of campus, but also in finding ways to freeze or even reduce the cost of attending. That’s a responsibility not only of state government but also of those who hold the purse strings at our state’s universities.

Until action is taken on the rising cost of college, students and their families will continue to be faced with hard choices about what kind of college experience they can afford. Already, more students are making plans that don’t include NIU. That’s too bad for all of us.

ANOTHER VIEW

Lower attack expectations The United States should recognize the limited scope of what it can achieve as it returns military advisers to Iraq and plots strategic airstrikes in Syria to curb the growing terrorism threat in the two volatile nations.

No matter how many smart bombs are dropped or megalomaniacal leaders are killed, the twisted ideology that birthed Islamic State – the terrorist group previously known as al-Qaida in Iraq – won’t be totally eradicated. Its physical competence, however, can be severely maimed.

President Barack Obama outlined his measured military strategy to accomplish that goal Wednesday by putting a muted U.S. military advisory presence on the ground, and by aiding the moderate forces opposing the militant Islamic group.

Ravaging terrorists who justify their cowardice by provoking the very reprisals they decry only continues the cycle of compounded intervention Obama has tried to avoid.

Military intervention has never changed the hearts, minds or politics of the Middle East. So, the president who campaigned as an anti-war U.S. senator is forced to choose from an assortment of bad options.

In such cases, lowering expectations makes a lot of sense.

Stingily glad to be practicing again

By STEVE NITZ snitz@shawmedia.com AP photo

‘NBA 2K15’ drafts 3-D face mapping for game LOS ANGELES – “NBA 2K15” is angling for a slam dunk with an innovative new way to put players in the game.

The developers of the interactive basketball franchise are adding the option for gamers to digitally graft lifelike 3-D renditions of their faces onto virtual players in the series’ latest installment, set for Oct. 7. The process uses the camera for either the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One game consoles.

DeKALB – After missing a handful of practices during the 2001-02 season, former NBA star Allen Iverson was criticized by 76ers coach Larry Brown for missing too many.

Iverson proceeded to go on his famous news conference rant about practice, saying the word more than 20 times.

Speaking after Northern Illinois’ workout Wednesday, Huskies running back Cameron Stingily mentioned practice numerous times as AP file photo well, but in a good way.

After being able to get reps leading up to UNLV, and Arkansas, where Northern Illinois will visit Saturday, Stingily realizes how big the reps are.

“Practice is everything. I realized that without practice you can’t be good. You can’t be average without practice,”

Stingily said. “I feel like Allen Iverson, but practice is everything.”

When Stingily was diagnosed with what has been an undisclosed injury in fall camp, the prognosis was that he’d miss the first four games of the season, at least.

The injury ended up healing quickly, and Stingily was cleared for the season opener against Presbyterian.

He was held out of that game, but ended up showing his old form and ran for 46 yards on six carries against the Wildcats, although he jokes that he still feels the first hit after playing without game-week reps.

Sycamore senior linebacker Brett Weaver, a team leader on defense, and the Spartans face DeKalb on Friday in the Castle Challenge at Huskie Stadium.

But when the Spartans were without seven players to start the season, many of whom were senior leaders like Weaver, the linebacker saw his role increase.

rienced guy on the defense – which would have been the

case anyway – he was, for at least a half, the go-to guy on offense.

Coach Joe Ryan said Weaver’s play during the twogame stretch was a big reason why the Spartans started the season 1-1 and now are 2-1 heading into their game Friday against DeKalb.

“He’s the leader of our defense,” Ryan said. “He was the glue that kind of held everything together. He was the

guy they could look to who had a lot of experience and they could turn to in tough situations to make plays, and he’s been making a lot of them.”

In the opener against Lincoln-Way West, the Spartans had trouble moving the ball against the Warriors. Lightning pushed the last three quarters of the game from Aug. 29 to Aug. 30th, and when it resumed, Weaver was

in at running back.

He carried the ball nine times for 36 yards and a touchdown, but it wasn’t enough in a 14-13 loss.

Weaver said the whole first two weeks of the were just another challenge.

“You have to rise to the occasion,” Weaver said. “Your team needs you, so you do whatever you can – run the

Only sponsors make NFL take action It took a hotel-chain boycott and the threat of other corporate action, not the welts on an abused 4-year-old boy, for the Vikings to suspend Adrian Peterson. No matter where this mess ends up, let’s make sure we never lose sight of that.

Nobody needed a reminder that the NFL is a slobbering, money-hungry hog, but the league hit us in the face with it anyway Wednesday morning.

The Vikings put their star running back on the NFL’s exempt/commissioner’s permis-

sion list ostensibly to let him deal with his child-abuse case but mostly because they have the backbone of a jellyfish.

The Radisson hotel chain had suspended its team sponsorship after watching in horror Monday as Vikings general manager Rick Spielman announced he was reinstating the switch-wielding Peterson – with Radisson’s logo on a screen behind Spielman as he talked. Some of the NFL’s bigger corporate partners began applying pressure.

Vikings owner Zygi Wilf said Wednesday that the team

VIEWS Rick Morrissey “made a mistake” and that “it is important to always listen to our fans, the community and our sponsors.”

And by that he meant, “sponsors.”

It’s one thing for fans to be angry with a soulless football team. The NFL knows fans are more forgiving than Jesus. It’s another thing when corporations that have invested bil-

lions of dollars in the league locate their moral outrage, thanks to the threat of consumer boycotts. On Tuesday, Nike pulled Peterson merchandise from its stores in the Twin Cities. Anheuser-Busch, the maker of Budweiser, said in a statement it was unhappy with the league’s response to domestic-violence issues.

“We are not yet satisfied with the league’s handling of behaviors that so clearly go against our own company culture and moral code,” it said.

PepsiCo, the Campbell Soup Co., McDonald’s and

Visa followed suit with statements criticizing the league’s response to domestic abuse, including Ray Rice’s assault on his now-wife.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell initially gave a two-game suspension to the Ravens running back but then suspended him indefinitely after video was released showing him knocking out the woman with one punch.

That case has descended into a who-knew-what-when sleaze pit worthy of Watergate.

NEW YORK – Umpire Joe West was suspended for one game without pay for grabbing the jersey of Philadelphia Phillies closer Jonathan Papelbon.

Major League Baseball executive Joe Torre said in a statement Wednesday that West “admitted that there was a better way to handle the situation.”

Papelbon was suspended seven games and fined Monday for making a lewd gesture and then bumping West.

The right-hander has insisted he wasn’t making a vulgar motion toward fans as he walked off the field to boos after giving up four runs in the ninth inning of Philadelphia’s 5-4 loss to the Miami Marlins on Sunday.

West ejected him after the umpire thought Papelbon grabbed his crotch in response to the jeers from the crowd.

“I fully understand that Joe was reacting to a player who was acting aggressively, and can understand his frustration with the situation,” Torre said.

“However, Joe knows that an umpire cannot initiate physical contact with a player just as a player cannot initiate physical contact with an umpire.”

AUSTIN, Texas – Texas coach Charlie Strong said quarterback David Ash is giving up football after struggling with the effects of multiple concussions.

Ash missed most of last season because of at least one concussion and lingering symptoms.

He had been cleared to return this season and played in Texas’ opening victory over North Texas. Hours after that game, the junior reported experiencing headaches and dizziness.

Sophomore Tyrone Swoopes has started the past two games against BYU and UCLA. Ash had previously said that some members of his family were concerned about his return to the field this year, but he wanted to keep playing.

Strong announced Ash’s decision Wednesday night.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Jameis Winston will be a spectator in the first half of Florida State’s showdown against Clemson Saturday after making “offensive and vulgar” comments about women – the latest embarrassment in a growing list of poor decisions off the field.

Florida State interim President Garnett S. Stokes and athletic director Stan Wilcox announced in a joint statement Wednesday that the quarterback also will undergo internal discipline, but did not provide details of the punishment.

Several students tweeted Winston stood on campus Tuesday and shouted a lascivious comment about female anatomy that may have derived from an internet meme.

CUBS 3, REDS 1

Bryant playing waiting game Minor leaguer could get called up during early part of next season

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com They’ve seen him coming and talked about him getting here for months.

Ahead of Wednesday’s pregame arrival, a stack of copies of the latest edition of Baseball America lay on a table in the clubhouse, Kris Bryant’s smiling face staring up from the cover.

It was barely two weeks ago that former minor league teammate Javy Baez delivered a big hit in a win over the rival Cardinals and said, “We’re just waiting for Bryant now.”

But not like this. Not in jeans and a sport coat, on a game night in September, when Baez and Jorge Soler wore Cub uniforms, holding down two of the top four spots in the big-league lineup.

“I guess it’s bittersweet,” said the 22-year-old slugger who just put up one of the best minor-league seasons in recent memory – and who still leads professional baseball with 43 home runs 17 days after playing his final game.

Honored Wednesday as the Cubs’ minor league player of the year, Bryant already

Hendriks wins again, pitches Cubs past Reds CHICAGO – Kyle Hendricks kept up his impressive rookie season, pitching seven strong innings as the Cubs beat the Cincinnati Reds, 3-1, Wednesday night for the sweep.

Chris Valaika, Ryan Kalish and Luis Valbuena each had a run-scoring hit as the Cubs won their third straight. They improved to 38-36 at Wrigley Field despite being 16 games under .500 overall.

The Reds have dropped four in a row overall.

They scored just one run in the three-game series against the Cubs, and were held to one hit in a shutout loss Tuesday night.

Hendricks (7-2) allowed one run and seven hits.

He walked none, struck out four and left with a 2.28 ERA. – The Associated Press

was tabbed the top player in all the minor leagues by both Baseball America and USA Today.

Whether he was the best player in the

ballpark Wednesday might have made for a rousing, probably one-sided, debate from the likes of fans who screamed from the upper deck when he was honored before the game.

But it’s an empty debate as the Cubs play out the string with nine guys on the September roster who earned big-league debuts this year – but not the guy who outperformed them all and finished strong at Triple-A Iowa.

Bryant, the No. 2 overall pick in last year’s draft out of the University of San Diego, learned the hard way this year how business trumps baseball – the irony of his great season being that he performed almost too well, too quickly for the Cubs to start spending his precious service time yet.

The Cubs don’t need to spend a roster spot on him yet to protect him in the winter, and won’t. And look for him to open next season in the minors for at least three weeks to assure an extra year of club control before he’s eligible for free agency.

“Bittersweet” is the strongest language Bryant uses when talking about the September callup his performance merited but that never came.

ROYALS 6, WHITE SOX 2

Royals rough up Sale, Sox in third inning

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com KANSAS CITY, Mo. – This is a series of unusual, almost bizarre events, perhaps none more odd than Chris Sale – who entered Wednesday night’s game with an American League best 1.99 ERA – giving up four runs in the third inning in the Kansas City Royals’ 6-2 victory over the White Sox at Kauffman Stadium.

To wit: • Lorenzo Cain’s three-run homer was the first of Sale’s career that he allowed on an 0-2 pitch. It was a slider up in the strike zone after Sale threw two upper 90s fast-

balls, and Cain must have sensed he had done something special as he looked over his shoulder into an approving Royals dugout before touching first base.

• Cain’s homer followed a single by Nori Aoki, his 10th hit of the series to tie a club record for hits in a three-game series shared by Royals greats George Brett and Willie Wilson. Aoki, a small-balling slapper from the left side of the plate, broke the record the next inning with another single.

• After Cain’s homer, slow-footed Josh Willingham walked and scored all the way from first on Salvador Perez’s single – yes, a single – that fell between outfielders Adam Eaton and Avisail Garcia and second base-

man Marcus Semien. Willingham was running on the pitch and Eaton, who couldn’t get a handle on the ball after it touched down, was slow to get a throw off toward home.

• Leadoff man Alcides Escobar homered an inning later, only his third of the season and his first in 409 at-bats dating to May 11.

As unexpected as anything was the performance by Sale, who lasted only five innings and left trailing 5-1 after he had entered the game with a 1.54 ERA over his past six starts. He struck out six but walked two and gave up nine hits, the most on his linescore since the Orioles got a season-worst 11 against him June 23 at Baltimore.

Bears’ receiver Brandon Marshall makes a catch during warm ups before the season opener Sept. 7 at Soldier Field.

Attorney: NFL mishandled Marshall case

By ADAM L. JAHNS ajahns@suntimes.com With domestic abuse cases squarely at the forefront of the NFL world, a high-profile civil rights lawyer called a news conference Wednesday in Atlanta to blast the NFL’s handling of the years-old allegations against receiver Brandon Marshall.

And it prompted a supportive statement in defense of Marshall from Bears general manager Phil Emery.

Attorney Gloria Allred claimed the league and commissioner Roger Goodell did not properly investigate Marshall’s past incidents with ex-girlfriend Rasheedah Watley, stemming from arrests in 2007 and

2008 when he was with the Denver Broncos.

Allred said that “this isn’t a case” against Marshall and the NFL, but that “our focus in on the [investigation] process” in light of the situations of Ray Rice, Greg Hardy and Adrian Peterson.

“This issue is so much bigger than Brandon Marshall,” Allred said. “This issue is about the NFL and what it needs to do to in the future.”

Joining Allred at the news conference were Watley’s father, Clarence, and friend, Kristeena Spivey, who read statements alleging they were ignored by the NFL and Goodell after being informed of Marshall’s alleged actions.

Allred and Watley called for Goodell to resign. Allred said Watley, herself, is not interested in being interviewed.

“It wasn’t like the commissioner was in the dark about what was going on with Brandon Marshall and my daughter,” Watley said. “There was no way he could be out of the loop on that many instances.”

Marshall was handed a three-game suspension Aug. 6, 2008, by Goodell for violating the league’s personal conduct policy after incidents with Watley in March 2008. It was later reduced to a one-game suspension.

In August 2008, Marshall was charged with two misdemeanor counts of simple battery. In

Sycamore’s Brett Weaver pulls away from a block during Tuesday’s practice as the Spartans’ prepare to face DeKalb on Friday.

Weaver looking at different Illinois colleges • WEAVER Continued from page B1 ball, defense. You have to fly around and make plays when guys are missing. But that’s OK – I wasn’t shocked or anything. I was ready to step up and do what I needed to do to help my team win.”

With a full squad back last week, the Spartans beat CreteMonee, 33-6, on a wet field that limited what both teams were able to do.

When the Spartans face the Barbs (3-0) in a Northern Illinois Big 12 East Division game Friday, they’ll be at full strength. And it’s good for them, too – DeKalb has been a powerhouse offensively this year, led by senior running back and Illinois commit Dre Brown.

“He’s a Big Ten running

back. He’s a stud,” Weaver said. “He’s big, fast, strong – everything you need to be a big-time running back, which he is. But I think it gives me an edge when I play against him.

Some teams, they don’t know what he’s got, they just hear he’s a big-time running back and they don’t know what he is on the field.

“I’ve been playing against him on the field for a while, and I think it’s fun. I love the challenge playing against him.”

Ryan said Weaver will be important to any Spartans’ success.

“Whatever role we ask him to do, he’ll play,” Ryan said.

“That’s just the type of kid he is. Obviously, we’re going to need to him to play very well defensively because they are outstanding offensively.”

Weaver said he is talking mainly to Illinois schools –

Western Illinois, Southern Illinois, Illinois State, NIU – to continue his football career at the next level. He’s also gotten some looks from South Dakota State and Drake.

But for now, he’s just worried about an undefeated DeKalb team and helping his Spartans defend their Northern Illinois Big 12 East Division crown.

“You definitely have to look at [DeKalb] differently,” Weaver said. “They’re a good team this year. They’re usually a pretty decent program, but this year especially they are a good team. You can’t take them lightly. Maybe years in the past we haven’t looked at them as strongly – they’ve always been a good program, but this year especially with all the speed and talent we have to take it to them and not over look them for sure.”

It’s going to be a process as we go here. I kind of always say that game reps count for three practice reps so he’s catching up pretty quick.”

Stingily said that overall he just feels more comfortable at this point than he did two weeks ago.

“Just reading my keys, footwork,” he said. “Fundamentals, really.”

August 2009, he was found not guilty.

Marshall’s past is well-documented. His story was just featured on ESPN’s “E:60” on Tuesday, which Marshall viewed unfavorably according to his remarks on Twitter, and will later be detailed on NFL Network’s “A Football Life” Friday.

Marshall has become a team leader since joining the Bears in 2012, using his platform to raise awareness for mental health issues.

Marshall, while a member of the Miami Dolphins, announced at a news conference in July 2011 that he was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder.

If the NFL doesn’t know how to run its house – and judging from its bumbling of the Rice and Peterson cases, it wouldn’t know a vacuum cleaner from a cake mixer – then the corporations that pay the league’s bills will show them. How many businesses want to be publicly associated with a woman beater, a child abuser and a league that is at best indecisive and at worst a lying heap of corporate entitlement?

With business partners at the league’s gate, the Vikings released the news of Peterson’s suspension at 12:47 a.m. Wednesday. Normally, the only thing NFL types are doing at that late hour is raising their brandy snifters to galloping profit.

Later in the day, the Panthers put woman-beater Greg Hardy on the NFL’s exempt list, finally giving up hope of playing him Sunday against Pittsburgh. They had stood by the defensive end even though he had been convicted in July of assaulting and threatening to kill his ex-girlfriend. Hardy is appealing that conviction, which had given the Panthers the sliver of an opening they needed to justify their sickening stance. Funny how things start to move when a beer company gets in a sudsy lather.

Meanwhile, Peterson’s

charity has gone on hiatus because of the controversy.

In its announcement, the All Day Foundation took the opportunity to lash out at the real villain in all of this: the media.

“Unfortunately, over the past few years when there was positive news, the media paid little attention to our nonprofit partners,” it said on its website. “Now, the charities are being harassed, judged and placed in uncomfortable positions.”

You know what’s an uncomfortable position? When you’re curled up in a ball and an adult is whipping you with a stick. Amid all the talk about law and order, due process, collateral damage and lost revenue, there is a wounded child at the heart of this.

Bears ownership is backing Goodell, saying it has “complete faith” in the commissioner. But you wonder how long it will take for the McCaskeys and others to finally understand what this is all about.

Not billions of dollars. It’s about a 4-year-old boy with welts on his legs, ankles, back, buttocks and scrotum.

It’s about an unconscious woman in an elevator, a football player standing over her like Cassius Clay over Sonny Liston. Except this wasn’t a fair fight.

NFL, union agree to new drug policy, HGH testing The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK – The NFL finally will have HGH testing, perhaps as early as the end of this month.

And of more immediate impact – this weekend – the new performance-enhancing drug policy the league and players’ union agreed to Wednesday will allow the Broncos’ Wes Welker and two other suspended players to return to the field.

Welker, Dallas Cowboys defensive back Orlando Scandrick and St. Louis Rams wide receiver Stedman Bailey

had been suspended for four games.

All can return Sunday under the new rules in which players who test positive for banned stimulants in the offseason will no longer be suspended.

Instead, they will be referred to the substance abuse program. Players who test positive for banned stimulants during the season will continue to get four-game suspensions.

“I said it was flawed and we got it fixed,” said Welker, who tested positive for amphetamines in the offseason. “I think you know that just kind of goes to show it was flawed and it’s fixed now

and we can move on from it.”

The league and union are also nearing an agreement on changes to the substance abuse policy. That could reduce Cleveland Browns receiver Josh Gordon’s season-long ban.

Testing for HGH was agreed upon in 2011 when a new collective bargaining agreement ended the lockout of the players. But the players had balked at the science in the testing and the appeals process for positive tests. Under the new deal, appeals of positive tests in the PED program will be heard by third-party arbitrators jointly select-

A look at developments in NFL controversies NEW YORK – The NFL is under pressure from sponsors, fans and lawmakers for its handling of domestic violence allegations against several players. At issue is whether the league is acting swiftly enough to investigate or discipline players.

Here is a look at key developments Wednesday: VIKINGS: WE MADE A MISTAKE The Minnesota Vikings reversed course and indefinitely benched star running back Adrian Peterson, claiming they “made a mistake” in reinstating him as he faced a child abuse charge in Texas for spanking his son with a tree branch. In an interview with the Houston Chronicle, Peterson’s mother said the player was “trying hard to be a good parent” and that she had used her hand, branches and belts to discipline Peterson and his siblings. “When you whip those you love, it’s not about abuse, but love,” Bonita Jackson said.

AP file photo

Carolina Panthers announced Wednesday that they’ve placed Greg Hardy on the exempt-commissioner’s permission list, meaning the Pro Bowl defensive end has been removed from the team’s active roster until his domestic violence case is resolved.

Why did it take so long for teams, NFL to act?

VIEWS Hub Arkush The Minnesota Vikings and Carolina Panthers have gotten it right now by placing Adrian Peterson and Greg Hardy on the commissioner’s exempt list, a special and rare designation that allows the team to retain its rights to a player while not keeping him on the active roster.

The player continues to be paid his full salary so he is not being harmed or penalized in any way while his case works its way through the legal system.

Should Hardy and/or Peterson ultimately be judged guilty in a court of law – Hardy has been found guilty by a judge but has an appeal to be heard by a jury of his peers scheduled – it will be up to that court to determine their punishment.

That would also make it seem reasonable that their respective teams should be able to punish or discipline them as well for conduct unbecoming to the organization.

But until their due process is complete, a right guaranteed to every American, guilty or innocent, these teams have now taken the correct approach.

It is also reasonable that the San Francisco 49ers Ray McDonald, who like Hardy has been accused of domestic violence, is being allowed to continue to

DWYER ARRESTED Arizona running back Jonathan Dwyer was arrested on aggravated assault charges in connection with two altercations at his home in July involving a 27-year-old woman and an 18-monthold child. One of the counts was “aggravated assault causing a fracture.” The Cardinals said they became aware of the situation Wednesday and are cooperating with the investigation. Dwyer has been deactivated from all team activities.

HARDY REMOVED The Carolina Panthers removed Greg Hardy from the team’s active roster until his domestic violence case is resolved. Hardy was convicted July 15 of assault on a female and communicating threats after the victim claimed the 6-foot-4, 275-pound player threw her in the bathtub and onto a sofa covered with guns before threatening to kill her.

Hardy is appealing. “We have attempted to be thoughtful about this, but there is no rule book for this,” general manager Dave Gettleman said.

SPONSOR WATCH Nike suspended its sponsorship deal with Peterson. In a statement, the company said that it “in no way condones child abuse or domestic violence of any kind and has shared our concerns with the NFL.”

Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson was removed from the team’s active roster Wednesday. play.

The significant difference between McDonald, Peterson and Rice is that McDonald has not yet been charged with a crime.

In fact, with it now being two weeks since the allegations were first made and law enforcement officials have not uncovered enough evidence to warrant an indictment or formal charges, it is reasonable to at least consider the possibility that McDonald has been falsely accused.

I have no idea whether McDonald is innocent or guilty and wouldn’t even begin to make an argument either way because I have nothing to base it on.

And that is why it’s unfair, at least at this point, to stain McDonald in any way yet, or to

lump his case in with Hardy’s and Peterson’s.

Let’s hope first that law enforcement and the courts get all three of these cases right, and then we can debate what the NFL should do.

It is isn’t that hard to guarantee all of these athletes their due process and still punish them appropriately once it’s been proved their actions warrant it.

The real question is: Why has it taken the NFL and their teams more than a week to figure this out and get to where they are now?

ed and paid for by the NFL and union.

Appeals will be processed more expeditiously under altered procedures.

The new rules also change the length of suspensions. Previously, all first-time violations of the performance-enhancing drug policy resulted in at least a four-game suspension.

Now, use of a diuretic or masking agent will result in a two-game suspension. The punishment for steroids, in-season use of stimulants, HGH or other banned substances is four games.

Evidence of an attempt to manipulate a test is a six-game suspension.

MARSHALL CASE RESURFACES The father of a woman who once dated Bears receiver Brandon Marshall recounted abuse allegations from 2008 in a news conference, and claimed he wrote the NFL about his daughter’s case but never got a response. Marshall served a one-game suspension in the case. Attorney Gloria Allred, who called the news conference, said she is asking the league to come up with a better investigation procedure.

COULD CONGRESS INTERVENE? House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said the NFL’s investigation into the Ray Rice case is appropriate – for now. But the California Democrat didn’t rule out that Congress may reconsider the NFL’s anti-trust exemption, which allows teams to negotiate radio and television broadcast rights together. The NFL players’ union appealed Rice’s indefinite suspension Tuesday night, saying that he shouldn’t be punished twice for punching his fiancee in a casino elevator. Rice was originally handed a two-game suspension in July under the NFL’s personal conduct policy after he was charged with assault for the Feb. 15 attack.

Locals pick items for NIU Anthropology Museum’s anniversary exhibit

o celebrate 50 years of Northern Illinois University’s Anthropology Museum, community and university members stepped up to curate an anniversary exhibit.

The exhibit, “Curated by DeKalb: 50 Years of the Anthropology Museum,” features approximately 200 items, showing human achievement and innovations that have previously been shown in the museum in the past 50 years.

An opening reception for the exhibit will be held 4 p.m. Tuesday at the museum in Cole Hall. There will be refreshments and live music. The exhibit will run through May. Museum director Jennifer Kirker

If you go n WHAT: “Curated by DeKalb: 50 Years of

the Anthropology Museum”

n WHEN: Through May 2015. Opening recep-

tion is 4 p.m. Tuesday. Regular museum hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays n WHERE: Cole Hall, Northern Illinois University, DeKalb n COST: Free n INFORMATION: www.niu.edu/anthro_museum Priest said the final result is a culmination of opinions of various people, 75 co-curators in total, throughout the community, from DeKalb Mayor John Rey, to local business owners, to NIU student orientation leaders.

“What we wanted to do was really put the focus on our relationships with the community and talk about why we’re an important part of the communiversity,” she said.

Each item featured includes a photo of the local person who chose the item, and a voice recording of that person talking about the item’s significance, whether it’s a piece that stirred up memories or just triggered their interest.

NIU mascot Victor E. Huskie chose a ceramic dog figurine from Latin America. Staff from DeKalb store Moxie chose a traditional Akah woman’s jacket from Laos. NIU student orientation leaders, who guide campus tours for new students, chose a kolintang ensemble of gongs, drums and other percussion instruments from the Philippines.

“The orientation leaders were some of the most energetic people I’ve ever met in my life,” Priest said.

“Now every time they walk by they say hello and tell groups about the museum, which they didn’t do before.

They feel like part of the museum family, and that’s what this exhibit is about.”

Priest said visitors to the exhibit will have fun getting a glimpse into the museum’s large collection, as well as looking out for pieces selected by people they have heard of or know.

She also thinks the relationships created with the 75 co-curators could last for a long time.

“This exhibit puts the focus equally on the people and the objects,” she said. “Objects can tell so many stories, and these people are telling stories through the items they chose.”

Bigolin to give lecture World Leading Expert on Sycamore history Unveils Exciting ADVERTISEMENT

ALPHA: Friends of Antiquity will present a lecture on local history at 7:30 p.m. Sept.

25 in DeKalb. Steve Bigolin, well-known Illinois and local historian will talk about the Sycamore Historic District in his lecture titled, “Sycamore: A Steve Bigolin Walk Through History.” The lecture will be held in Room 102 of the Jack Arends Visual Arts Building on the Northern Illinois University campus.

Sycamore is the location of the only National Register Historic District in DeKalb County. It contains a rich concentration of late 19th century and early 20th century American architecture, designed by both local and Chicago architects. These various structures span the years from 1840 to 1940. The residential heart of the district is Somonauk Street, referred to as early as 1859 as “Swell Head Row,” due to the opulence of residences along it, even then.

Bigolin holds a bachelor’s degree in history and a master’s degree in second-

Play tells story of journalists wrestling with war atrocities In the first offering of its 2014-2015 Mainstage Series season, the Northern Illinois University School of Theatre and Dance will present the play “Time Stands Still” by Pulitzer prize-winning playwright David Margulies.

Directed by SoTD faculty member Patricia Ridge, “Time Stands Still” takes place against a backdrop of the war in Iraq, though it is not a story about warfare or conflicts in faraway lands. It is an intimate portrayal of two people who document it. “‘Time Stands Still’ is a story about memories, secrets and relationships,” Ridge said. At the center of the play is a love story, interpersonal conflict, growth and change.

Photojournalist Sarah Goodwin returns home to her foreign correspondent partner,

James, in Brooklyn to recover from injuries inflicted by a roadside bomb while she documented the conflict. While she recovers, they disagree about whether or not they will return to cover the action. She is addicted to the adrenaline rush of documenting the atrocities of war; he has had enough.

Performances of “Time Stands Still” are at the Huntley Middle School Auditorium, 1515 S. Fourth St. in DeKalb. Show times are 7:30 p.m. weekdays and Saturdays, 2 p.m. on Sunday and on Oct. 4. Tickets cost $16, $13 for seniors, and $8 for students. Reservations or additional information are available by contacting the NIU School of Theatre and Dance box office at 815-753-1600, or online at www.niu.edu/theatre/.

JFK Award Winner, Dr. Meir Shinitsky Uncovers Shocking New Nutrient that Restores Mental Clarity, Improves Focus and Impaired Memory

By Steven Wuzubia Health Correspondent; Clearwater, Florida: Dr. Meir Shinitzky, Ph.D., is a former visiting professor at Duke University, recipient of the prestigious J.F. Kennedy Prize and author of more than 200 international scientiic papers on human body cells. But now he’s come up with what the medical world considers his greatest accomplishment-- A vital compound. so powerful, it’s reported to repair… even regrow damaged brain cells. In layman’s terms -- Bring back your memory power. And leave you feeling more focused and clear-headed than you have in years!

Dr. Shinitsky explains this phenomenon in simple terms; “Science has shown when your brain nutrient levels drop, you can start to experience memory problems and overall mental fatigue. Your ability to concentrate and stay focused becomes compromised.

And gradually, a “mental fog” sets in. It can damage every aspect of your life”. Not only do brain cells die but they become dysfunctional as if they begin to fade away as we age. This afects our ability to have mental clarity and focus and impacts our ability to remember things that were easy for us to do in our 20’s and 30’s.

Why Now, Why So Fuzzy?

Scientists think the biggest cause of brain deterioration in older people is the decreased functioning of membranes and molecules that surround the brain cells. These really are the transmitters that connect the tissues or the brain cells to one another that help us with our sharp memory, clear thinking and mental focus, even our powers to reason well. “When we are in our 20’s” according to Dr. Shinitzky “our body produces key substances like phosphatidylserine and phosphatidic acid”….unfortunately they are believed to be critical essential nutrients that just fade away with age, much like our memories often do leading to further mental deterioration.

As we get older it becomes more frustrating as there is little comfort when you forget names… misplace your keys... or just feel “a little confused”. And even though your foggy memory gets laughed of as just another “senior moment”, it’s not very funny when it keeps happening to you.

The Missing Link is Found and Tested It’s hard to pronounce that’s for sure, but it certainly appears from the astounding clinical research that this one vital nutrient phosphatidylserine (PS) can really make a huge diference in our mental wellness. 17 diferent double blind studies with placebo controlled groups have been involved in the clinical research of PS with patients between the ages of 55-80 years of age. Periodically the researchers gave these patients memory and cognitive tests and the results were simply amazing: 1) PS patients outperformed placebo patients in All 5 Tests 100% Success Rate 2) After only 45 days there was a measurable improvement in mental function 3) After 90 days, there was an impressive and amazing improvement in mental function

Here’s the DEAL! $86 Voucher for $43 4 General Admission Tickets & 2 Paintball Rides

PS now has the attention of some of the world’s most prominent brain experts. It has been written up and published in leading science and medical journals and its indings have electriied the International scientiic community.

Unblock Your Brain This incredible PS nutrient feeds your brain the vital nutrient it needs to stay healthy... The group taking phosphatidylserine, not only enjoyed sharper memory, but listen to this... they were also more upbeat and remarkably more happy. In contrast, the moods of the individuals who took the placebo (starch pill), remained unafected….no mental or mood improvement at all.

My Memory Was Starting to Fail Me. I would forget all kinds of things and something that I just said earlier in the day would have completely slipped my mind. I almost forgot my granddaughter’s birthday and that would have been horrible. I had forgotten lots of other little things along the way. I was worried about it.

Over the last several months I’ve noticed my memory seemed to be getting pretty unreliable and so I thought I’d better do something about it now. So when I read about this amazing PS nutrient and how much it would help me with my memory I wanted to try it.

It’s great! I have actual recall now, which is super. After about 6 weeks of taking it on a daily basis is when I began to notice that I wasn’t forgetting things anymore.

Thanks to PS for giving me my memory back.

It’s given me a lot more self-conidence and selfesteem. I would not trust my memory without it.

- Ethel Macagnoney

4 ADVICE & PUZZLES • Thursday, September 18, 2014 • Section C • Daily Chronicle / daily-chronicle.com

Daughter appalled by treatment of dad’s ashes Dear Abby: My dad died in April after a brief illness. Before he passed, my stepmother encouraged him to donate his body to science because she is to be buried with her first husband, and she didn’t want the expense of burying Dad. I went to pick up my father’s ashes as she requested.

When I got there, she invited me into her bedroom to see that she had made a shrine to her first husband, who had died three years before she and Dad were married. The one photo she had of Dad was 2 inches by 3 inches, and was the one from his memorial invitation.

With a broken heart I made my way to the door.

Abby, she was married to

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips my dad for 30 years. He supported her, took care of her, and worked to the age of 75 to keep her happy – and that was a task!

As I reached the front door, I remembered what I was there for in the first place – my dad’s ashes. They were still in the UPS wrap, in a bench that he kept his shoes and boots in by the door. Seriously, who does that? – Grieving Daughter in New York

Dear Grieving Daughter: Please accept my deepest sympathy for the loss of your

father. Unless he spent the entire 30 years of his marriage sharing his bedroom with the shrine to your stepmother’s first husband, inviting you in to see it was beyond insensitive on her part. The only bright side I can see to this is that you’re now in possession of your beloved father’s ashes, and you will probably never have to see her again.

Dear Abby: I am the father of an 8-year-old daughter, “Lindsey.” She is my world.

Her mom and I split when Lindsey was 2. She has remarried. We are all civil, and things are good.

Lindsey is getting to the age in which sleepovers at friends’ houses are happening, which is fine because I

know a few of them and their parents. I’m worried about the fathers or older brothers of the ones I don’t know.

How do you ask or tell an 8-year-old about the dangers of pedophiles without scaring her? This is my biggest fear. – Dad in Louisiana Dear Dad: I assume that, as a conscientious parent, you are not sending your little girl off to stay with complete strangers. Make it a point to meet and talk with the parents of the girls who are having the sleepovers. If that’s not possible, your ex should do it so you can both be assured that the party will be properly supervised.

You should also make sure your daughter knows that she

can talk to you anytime about ANYTHING and you will listen, answer her questions and support her.

I assume that Lindsey’s mother has already started the dialogue about the facts of life.

Talk to your ex about your concerns and ask what she has discussed with Lindsey about boundaries, inappropriate touching and that Lindsey knows she can come to either of you if anyone makes her uncomfortable. The most effective way to protect a child is to ensure that there is open, comfortable communication on any subject.

Time is of the essence in treating heart attack Dear Dr. K: Can you tell me what happens when someone having a heart attack gets to the hospital?

Dear Reader: You’re going about your day when you suddenly start to sweat and become short of breath. You feel a crushing pressure in your chest. You think: “This is it.

I’m having a heart attack.”

A heart attack occurs when one of the coronary arteries, blood vessels that supply the heart, becomes fully or partially blocked.

The blood carries nutrition – oxygen, sugar and other molecules – that every tissue needs to survive. It also carries away the waste material made by the cells. Any tissue that is completely deprived of a blood supply dies. That

attack, the doctors will start an intravenous line so that they can rapidly give you medicines. They will hook you up to a heart monitor to identify the development of dangerous heart rhythms.

Finally, they usually will give you oxygen, aspirin and possibly other medicines to minimize heart damage.

When I was a medical student, there was not much more that could be done.

Specifically, there was no way to open up the blockage in the coronary arteries that was causing the heart attack.

Today, there are powerful new treatments for restoring blood flow to the heart and preventing further blockages.

One way to restore blood flow is to perform a procedure

called angioplasty. Another way is to administer intravenous clot-busting drugs.

Time is of the essence: The faster blood flow is restored to the heart, the greater your chances of surviving and recovering.

As soon as you are stable, you’ll be encouraged to sit up and then stroll the halls.

This helps keep blood clots from forming and begins to strengthen your heart.

It sounds frightening. But if you have a heart attack and reach the hospital in time, chances are very good that you will survive – and walk out of the hospital within a week.

Your guy’s marijuana use is extremely serious Dr. Wallace: The guy I’ve been dating for the last two weeks is super, and I like him very much. We are both 19 years old. Everything about him is what I want in a guy. He’s handsome, kind, intelligent, considerate, romantic and has a great build.

But he does have one flaw.

He has been a “pot head” for over two years. As far as I know, marijuana is the only illegal drug he takes. Sometimes he drives a short time after getting high. He constantly tells me that he has no problem driving safely after getting high on pot.

He also says that he sometimes smokes a marijuana cigarette while driving. I

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace will never be his passenger when he is smoking pot. I also don’t want to ride with him when he could be under the influence of pot even if he says he is 100 percent sober.

He has told me that he was involved in two accidents in the past year, but says that he was not to blame in both crashes.

My question is, “How long does it take a marijuana user to lose the high? I want to make positive sure that he will be “pot-free” when I en-

ter his car. – Goshen, Indiana Nameless: You are a very wise young lady. Your guy is handsome, kind, intelligent, considerate, romantic, has a great build, and only one flaw, but that flaw is extremely serious. Drivers must have a clear mind so they can make split-second decisions.

Most users of marijuana lose their high about four hours after their last joint.

Is it possible that you could drive your car when on a date and you’re not 100 percent sure your guy will be a safe driver?

Dr. Wallace: I’m mad as heck, and there’s nothing that can make me feel better.

TODAY – It’s time to realize your potential. Keep your outlook realistic, and don’t spread yourself too thin. A focused approach, combined with your talent and determination, will help you make big strides toward your dreams, hopes and wishes. Keep your eye on the big picture.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Think outside the box. You will be pleasantly surprised by a new or unusual venture presented to you. Don’t be afraid to try something new.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Slow and steady will be your best approach. You will be frustrated if you take on too many projects.

Nothing will be accomplished to your satisfaction if you don’t pay attention to detail.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – An unexpected change will result in an exciting venture. Find a way to incorporate the old and the new into your plans for the future, to better suit your needs.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – You will need to take good care of financial matters. A joint venture will have an unfavorable outcome. An in-depth look at your documents and records will ensure that nothing has been overlooked.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – A personal relationship will cause dissatisfaction. Don’t get sidetracked from your professional duties. Once you are outside the workplace, you will have more time to do some soul-searching.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Social activities, love and romance are all highlighted. Don’t be afraid to show your romantic side.

An escape from your regular routine will contribute to a happier personal life.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Your compassion will shine in dealings with those you care about. Feel confident to enable beneficial changes to take place. Make a difference by reaching out to those in need.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – You are always ahead of the crowd.

Don’t be too hard on people who can’t keep up. Showing patience and understanding will result in appreciation and admiration.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Aim high. Take an active role and see your commitments through to completion. A leadership position will be offered and will help get you where you want to go.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Don’t be dissuaded if others don’t see things your way. Keep on top of your professional responsibilities.

Maintain your focus, be diligent and accept the changes that lie ahead.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Keep busy and avoid trouble. If you are too idle, you will end up stressing over personal problems that you cannot fix. Avoid emotional scenes by pursuing your own projects.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – You can show generosity without opening your wallet. Offer your time and advice rather than money. Your financial situation will deteriorate if you are too free with your cash.

I’ve been grounded for two weeks just for calling my younger brother a “stupid idiot” during supper last night.

To be honest, I screamed at him because he spilled a glass of milk all over my brand new jeans. It was an accident, but he wasn’t minding his manners. Instead of asking for the salad dressing to be passed to him, he reached for it and spilled my glass of milk.

It so happened that our grandparents were having supper with us, but that’s no big deal because they are a part of our extended family.

Being grounded is disastrous because it means I can’t attend my best girlfriend’s sur-

BRIDGE Phillip Alder

prise birthday party, which is being hosted by another good friend of ours. I think my punishment was much too harsh for my “crime.” If you agree, I’ll campaign for a lighter sentence. – Tina, Naples, Florida Tina: Emotions must have been running high at dinner that night. You shouldn’t have screamed at your brother, but being somewhat upset by his clumsiness is understandable. Apologize sincerely to all concerned and perhaps you’ll convince Mom and Dad that they, too, overreacted.

CROSSWORD

Go for the contract F. Scott Fitzgerald said, “All good writing is swimming under water and holding your breath.”

That is an interesting concept. I wonder how he typed while swimming.

When the card play has finished, the contract will either be underwater or have floated safely ashore. If it has been defeated, though, declarer should not worry about how far it has sunk, as long as he took his best shot to make the contract. (Yes, if you are playing in a pair event scored by matchpoints, that is not necessarily true.)

In this deal, South is in three no-trump. After West leads the diamond king, how should declarer swim?

North’s jump-shift rebid guarantees extra values and forces to game.

South starts with six top winners: four hearts, one diamond and one club. In addition, he hopes to take either four club tricks or three clubs and one spade.

First, South should hold up dummy’s diamond ace until at least the second round to confirm the split. Yes, it is likely to be 6-0 or 5-1 because otherwise West would probably have led a different suit (presumably spades).

Declarer takes the second trick with dummy’s diamond ace, cashes his hearts and runs the club 10. East wins with his king and shifts to a low spade.

What should South do?

If West has the spade ace, the contract will drown. So declarer should play his spade king. Here, it wins and the contract comes up for air. But if the king loses, South has potentially gone down two instead of down one – a small price to pay for trying to collect a vulnerable game bonus.
