In her email, Peerboom slammed changes City Manager Anne Marie Gaura has implemented since starting

in January. Peerboom also claimed Gaura did not share enough information about how city staff would fulfill the city clerk’s functions once long-time Deputy City Clerk Diane Wright left Thursday.

Rey said the points Peerboom made in her emailed resignation didn’t give him any concern over Gaura’s actions.

“I fully realize under City Manager Gaura there are structural changes that are oc-

Malta couple grieves twin babies born prematurely

By ANDREA AZZO aazzo@shawmedia.com MALTA – During her pregnancy, Malta resident Danielle Dobberstein could already tell her twin babies had different personalities.

Her daughter, Amerakiss, had forceful kicks and was very outgoing, whereas her son, Sawyer, had a mellow personality and was mostly still. When Dobberstein, 22, unexpectedly gave birth to her children 22 weeks into her pregnancy conceived by fertility treatments, she noticed her daughter had her dark brown eyebrows and that her son had her husband’s bleach-blond eyebrows.

Danielle and husband Robbie Dobberstein, 23, had about two hours to hold their babies – each 11 inches long and one pound – before they had to say goodbye Sept. 13. Before they died, Amerakiss and Sawyer Dobberstein were baptized, kissed and loved.

“I was loving them as much as I could,” Danielle Dobberstein said. “ ‘Mommy loves you, we’ll see you when our time comes.’

There was so much emotion going on, it’s crazy.”

Residents from DeKalb County to far beyond it have rallied in support of the young Malta couple. Last week, Robbie Dobberstein’s

WASHINGTON – The U.S. and partner nations began launching airstrikes against Islamic State group targets in Syria for the first time Monday night, expanding a military campaign against the militants with a mix of fighter jets, bombers and Tomahawk cruise missiles fired from ships in the region.

The strikes were part of the expanded military campaign that President Barack Obama’s authorized nearly two weeks ago in order to disrupt and destroy the Islamic State militants, who have slaughtered thousands of people, beheaded Westerners, including two American journalists, and captured a large swath of territory stretching from within Syria to land across northern and western Iraq.

Because the military operation was ongoing, no details could be provided yet, said Rear Adm. John Kirby, the Pentagon’s press secretary. He said the decision to strike was made earlier Monday by the military. He did not name the partner nations participating in the operation; however U.S. officials have said the U.S. would not launch this mission alone and some Arab nations had been expected to participate.

Some of the airstrikes were against Islamic State group targets in Raqqa.

Military officials have said the U.S. would target militants’ command and control centers, re-supply facilities, training camps and other key logistical sites.

“We will be prepared to strike ISIL targets in Syria that degrade ISIL’s capabilities,” Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told senators last week, using one of the acronyms for the Islamic State group.

“This won’t look like a shock-andawe campaign, because that’s simply not how ISIL is organized, but it will be a persistent and sustainable campaign.

The Associated Press NEW YORK – Hundreds of corporations, insurance companies and pension funds are calling on world leaders gathering for a U.N. summit on climate change this week to attack the problem by making it more costly for businesses and ordinary people to pollute.

The idea, long advocated by policymakers, economists and environmental activists, is that the world can’t hope to slow the heating of the planet until its cost is incorporated into the everyday activities that contribute to it, such as using gas- or coal-generated electricity, driving a car, shipping a package or flying around the globe.

Business leaders representing trillions of dollars in revenue and retirement savings say they worry that global warming threatens the longterm value of their investments, and they want world leaders to adopt policies that

A White House security team member walks Monday along the interior of the perimeter fence on the North Lawn along Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington. The Secret Service tightened its guard outside the White House after Friday’s embarrassing breach in the security of one of the most closely protected buildings in the world. A man is accused of scaling the White House perimeter fence, running across the lawn and entering the presidential mansion before agents stopped him. fence of the White House, his car parked nearby. He had a hatchet in a rear waistband but no firearms, a federal prosecutor said at Monday’s hearing. Gonzalez gave permission to search his car and was not arrested.

Friday evening, Obama and his family had left the White House for Camp David when the incident occurred. Gonza-

lez was seized just inside the building’s front door. No guns were found in his car.

would provide a financial incentive to people to clean up their act.

That could include a tax on carbon emissions, a cap or some other mechanism.

“There’s a market failure that needs to be fixed,” said Anne Simpson, senior portfolio manager and director of global governance at the $300 billion California Public Employees’ Retirement System, the largest public pension fund in the U.S. Despite a broad consensus that something needs to be done, it has been impossible so far for global leaders to agree on how to implement what amounts to a price on pollution, because energy is so important for economic growth.

“It may be easier to get large businesses to agree that something should be done than to get them to coalesce around specific policy measures,” said Michael Levi, senior fellow for energy and the environment at the Council on Foreign Relations.

At Tuesday’s U.N. summit, 120 world leaders will try to summon some of the considerable political will required if a new climate treaty is to be reached at international negotiations next year in Paris.

The one-day summit is part of U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s push to help world leaders to reach a goal they set in 2009: prevent Earth’s temperature from rising more than 2 degrees Fahrenheit from where it is now.

On Sunday, scientists announced that the world set another record last year for the amount of carbon pollution spewed into the atmosphere.

Ahead of the summit, business leaders such as Apple’s Tim Cook renewed or expanded pledges to help the planet by running their businesses more efficiently, investing in renewable energy or pulling their investments from fossil fuel companies.

TODAY’S TALKER

WASHINGTON – Investigators found more than 800 rounds of ammunition, a machete and two hatchets in the car of the former soldier accused of scaling the White House fence and sprinting inside while carrying a knife, a federal prosecutor said Monday. President Barack Obama was “obviously concerned” about the weekend incident, a spokesman said.

The Secret Service increased security around the famous grounds on Pennsylvania Avenue in the nation’s capital, some guards openly holding weapons, others escorting dogs. There was talk of expanding the security zone beyond the current area as a major investigation began into the question of how the man managed to get to the building without being stopped.

Forty-two-year-old Omar J. Gonzalez of Copperas Cove, Texas, faces charges of entering a restricted building or grounds while carrying a deadly or dangerous weapon.

He had been arrested earlier in the summer in Virginia with a carful of weapons, authorities said, and a federal prosecutor said Monday in court that Gonzalez had had a map then with the White House circled.

Authorities ran into Gonzalez again, less than a month ago Aug. 25, when he was stopped while walking along the south

cial firms Allianz, BlackRock and AXA Group called for a “meaningful” price on carbon emissions.

The World Bank said Monday that 73 countries and more than 1,000 companies have expressed their support for a price on carbon.

Also on Monday, a parade of business and political leaders tried to rally support in a series of speeches in New York.

“It doesn’t cost more to deal with climate change; it costs more to ignore it,” said Secretary of State John Kerry.

Cook said customers care about the planet and will “vote with their dollars” for sustainably produced products. He outlined the steps Apple is taking to reduce the carbon emissions of its products and its supply chain, and called for broader action.

“The long-term consequences of not addressing climate change are huge,” he said. “I don’t think anyone can overstate that.”

Pat Quinn, Bruce Rauner differ over ‘common sense’ on guns The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – Gov. Pat Quinn and challenger Bruce Rauner both endorse what they call “common sense” in gun laws, but disagree over what that means.

Quinn, a Chicago Democrat running for re-election in November, has repeatedly called for a ban on assault weapons in Illinois and tried unsuccessfully to impose more safeguards in the state’s law allowing concealed carry of firearms. Rauner, a Republican businessman from Winnetka, applauded Illinois becoming the last state in the nation to approve concealed

carry, and warns that too many regulations on assault weapons and other firearms can run afoul of constitutional rights.

The two candidates sketched out those opposing views in an Associated Press campaign questionnaire, and Rauner reinforced his message Monday after being asked about assault weapons at an appearance on Chicago’s West Side, where residents see guns contributing to a stubborn violence problem.

“Gun regulations are important,” Rauner said at a news conference, where he was endorsed by a group of

black Chicago ministers. “It’s important that we keep guns away from criminals and the mentally ill, but going much beyond that creates constitutional issues.”

Quinn, while noting that his administration is now working to implement the concealed carry law, told the AP in his questionnaire that the state needs to “take additional steps to combat violence in our streets.” He proposes not only banning “military-style assault weapons,” but also high capacity ammunition magazines and requiring stronger background checks.

The issue of guns and vio-

lence hasn’t been prominent during the campaign season, which has been dominated by talk of the economy, Rauner’s business record and Quinn’s management of state government.

Each of the candidates has attended anti-violence rallies. But there have been lighter moments too, such as when Rauner, an avid hunter, offered any donor of $10,000 a chance to accompany him dove hunting. The offer ultimately was canceled.

Illinois has been in the national spotlight on the issue of gun control, after becoming the last state nationwide to allow the concealed carry of

weapons at a time when city violence continues to make headlines.

In their campaign questionnaires, both Quinn and Rauner used the same phrase – “common sense” – when describing their stances.

Quinn wrote that he believes the new concealed-carry law could be improved; last year, he tried but failed to change the law before it was adopted, by prohibiting firearms in places that serve alcohol, limiting it to one gun at a time and boosting local control. He has tried to make the gun issue more personal, often mentioning violent incidents near his home.

Heated talk at roadblock in DeKalb caught on video

By JESSI HAISH

Danielle Guerra – dguerra@shawmedia.com

Gov. Pat Quinn speaks at the Stevens Building groundbreaking Monday on the campus of Northern Illinois University. The Stevens Building houses the School of Theatre and Dance; the original building was opened in 1959.

NIU’s Stevens Building renovation, rebuild begins

By JESSI HAISH jhaish@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Graduate student Jessica Ritsche looks forward to the day Northern Illinois University’s anthropology department is much more centralized.

Ritsche, a first-year grad student studying primatology, said while the Stevens Building on campus is being renovated and redesigned, her work as a student and teaching assistant is scattered across campus.

“We’re half in Grant and half in Cole Hall,” she said.

“It will be nice to have a larger space and a bigger room to work in.”

A groundbreaking ceremony was held Monday for the Stevens Building on NIU’s campus, with a n estimated completion date of October 2015. The building is mainly utilized by the university’s anthropology and theater departments.

The project is expected to cost $27.4 million, and funding will come from the state of Illinois.

Gov. Pat Quinn spoke before the groundbreaking, as the project is part of his Illinois Jobs Now! program, which supports construction jobs in the state.

“This is a very large investment of our state,” Quinn said.

“It is over $27 million, that’s a lot of money. But it’s going to pay great dividends for the next century. That’s really how I see it.”

The project includes demolition of the building’s north wing and an interior renovation. In place of the demolished area, there will be new classrooms, laboratories, and Department of Anthropology offices.

The addition also will include a 10,500-square-foot black-box theater, 13,300 square foot scene shop space and a 6,000 square foot, 330-seat lecture hall. The remaining space will get interior and exterior refurbishing, and the new building will be 109,000 square feet.

NIU Board of Trustees Chairman John Butler said he once benefited from opportunities within the building’s walls, and the building holds a special place in his heart.

“I had an interest in set design and technology, so I spent the first year of my time here at Northern in the Stevens Building,” Butler said, “And still to this day, the smell of freshly-cut wood and paint from the scene shop still causes me to recall that exciting feeling I had about my own personal aspirations when I was 19 years old and had just transferred here.”

As for other projects across campus, Bill Nicklas, NIU vice president for public safety and community relations, said a recent challenge has been the location of the Huskie Bus turnaround, which was relocated to east of the Holmes Student Center this semester. The turnaround was previously to the west.

After about a month-long test run, he said it seems as if the change may not be the best choice for pedestrians in the area and the university will be making changes. He said many students are walking between the buses to cross Normal Road and do not have much vision to do so.

“We tried to sort of educate the walking public, put some signs up stopping traffic, we had some officers there,” Nicklas said. “Motorists were not slowing down enough to our satisfaction.”

He said there are other options the university has yet to consider, such as splitting up the bus turnarounds to two locations, or discussing with the city the possibility of closing part of Normal Road to all traffic but the buses and emergency vehicles.

“Sometimes we have to say we tried, and we have to do something different,” Nicklas said.

DeKALB – A local driver recorded an Illinois State trooper’s outburst when he questioned the authority of police to stop him at a roadside safety checkpoint in DeKalb this weekend, and state police officials said they will review the incident.

Illinois State Police, and Northern Illinois University and DeKalb police conducted the check from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. Saturday at Annie Glidden Road south of Hillcrest Drive, and more than 270 vehicles were stopped without incident, said Monique Bond, Illinois State Police chief of communications in a statement.

One of those drivers was Ryan Scott of DeKalb, who filmed his trip through the checkpoint with a video recorder on the dashboard of his vehicle.

In it, Scott initially tries to refuse to cooperate, but eventually relents after things become heated.

In the video, an Illinois State trooper approaches his driver’s side window, and Scott tells the officer he is being recorded. He asks the officer why he is being pulled over, and an officer informs him they are conducting a roadside safety check.

Scott then asks if he is being detained. An officer responds and says they are just making sure everyone is driving safely, and Scott is told he is not free to leave

after he asks. The officer states he is legally able to stop Scott, and Scott said he believes the stop is unconstitutional. Scott said he is not obligated to provide his driver’s license and registration to the officer. Then, a second officer opens Scott’s door and yells, “You are obligated, get out now. Get out now.

Driving is a privilege, not a right. I’m telling you to get out right now.”

Scott said he is not resisting, and hands over his license and registration as the officer continues to talk to him with the door open.

Scott eventually tells the second officer he is being recorded, and the officer responds, “good.” After more arguing, Scott said he would like to remain silent and exercise his Fifth Amendment right. The officer then asks if Scott knows what it means, then shuts Scott’s door.

“And that, unbelievable.

Unbelievable,” Scott said to the camera as he drives away from the checkpoint.

As of Monday, the video had more than 120,000 views on YouTube. Attempts to reach Scott through Facebook on Monday were unsuccessful. A phone number for him could not be readily

Bond’s statement said based on the information at this time, “it does not appear that the officer violated any policy, however the matter will be reviewed and the appropriate action will be taken as needed.”

“We conduct roadside safety checks to ensure that motorists and roads are safe and our officers are reasonable and follow the law,” the release states. “However, when there is resistance, a motorist’s noncooperative actions could be interpreted differently.”

Scott got a rise out of police, but his legal claims in the video are not entirely accurate, said local defense attorney and former DeKalb County State’s Attorney Clay Campbell.

Checkpoints such as the one conducted over the weekend in DeKalb have been ruled constitutional.

“The Supreme Court allows checkpoints and road blocks like that as long as they are done randomly and uniformly,” Campbell said.

He said at checkpoints, officers tend to chat with drivers, and look for signs that the driver might be impaired. He said refusing to answer police questions could be considered grounds to take the discussions further.

“You have to cooperate with the officer,” Campbell said. “If they ask to see driver’s license and registration, you need to do that.”

Sijir, 45 miles west of Baghdad. There has been no contact with the 68 captured Iraqi soldiers, who were believed to have been taken to the nearby city of Fallujah, an Islamic State stronghold, said Gen. Rasheed Fleih.

After the attacks, the Iraqi military withdrew 700 more troops stationed in the area, he said.

After battlefield successes

in both Iraq and neighboring Syria, Islamic State fighters, among them many Iraqi nationals, have re-entered Iraq through Anbar province, engaging in fierce battles with the Iraqi military. In this Sunni-majority territory, the group has quickly capitalized on long-standing grievances against the Shiite-led government in Baghdad, earning support from local popula-

tions.

Iraq’s new Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said in a statement Monday that his government is committed to reinforcing military and police forces in Anbar and will increase airstrikes to target the pockets of militant fighters across the province. Last week, he declared an end to the shelling of towns where militants are suspected of hid-

ing, so as not to rile the local populations.

Meanwhile, the U.S. military said Monday that airstrikes on Islamic State targets southwest of the oil-rich northern city of Kirkuk destroyed two military vehicles and a tank and damaged a Humvee, bringing the total U.S. strikes on the militants to 190 since the aerial campaign began Aug. 8.

Miner waives jury, opts for bench trial

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The alleged instigator of the Hickory Street murders decided Monday to leave his fate in the hands of a judge instead of a jury.

Attorneys for Joshua F. Miner, 26, presented a signed waiver of his right to a jury trial when Judge Gerald Kinney began court proceedings Monday. The day was expected to be devoted to selecting a jury for the trial.

Miner is charged with murder and robbery in the Jan. 9, 2013, slayings of Eric Glover and Terrence Rankins, both 22, at a residence in the 1100 block of Hickory Street.

“I’m surprised, but it really doesn’t make any difference,” Rankins’ uncle Darcy Kent said after Kinney rescheduled the trial to begin today. Kinney expected jury selection would take two full days this week.

Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow said prosecutors had prepared to start

fense,” Renzi said.

Miner’s decision also spares the court from having to find 12 to 16 Will County residents who hadn’t heard about the area’s most shocking crime in recent years, or who have kept an open mind about it.

Miner was hanging out with Adam Landerman, Bethany McKee and Alisa Massaro at Massaro’s house when he proposed having McKee lure Rankins over to rob him, according to testimony at McKee’s trial.

Kinney, retiring in November, found McKee guilty of murder during a bench trial Christine Muilenburg for Shaw Media last month for participating in Duvall Rankins (center), father of murder victim Terrence Rankins, the robbery.

“The facts elicited at trienters the Will County Courthouse on Monday for what was to be the first day of jury selection in the Joshua Miner murder trial.

WORLD BRIEFS Sierra Leone, Liberia brace for Ebola cases FREETOWN, Sierra Leone – Two of the West African nations hardest hit by Ebola were bracing for new caseloads on Monday after trying to outflank the outbreak with a nationwide checkup and a large new clinic.

Sierra Leone was expected to announce a sharp increase in Ebola patients today after a nationwide effort to identify new cases, while Liberia opened its largest treatment center yet.

Both countries have poor health systems, weakened by the loss to Ebola of many of doctors and nurses. The World Health Organization estimated last week that they have only about 20 percent of the beds they need to treat Ebola patients.

Still, identifying the sick is fundamental to containing the disease, and Sierra Leone went to an extreme unseen since the plague ravaged Europe during the Middle Ages, ordering an entire nation’s people to remain at home while teams went door to door handing out soap and information.

More than 1 million house-

holds were checked for Ebola and told how to prevent its spread, authorities said.

Illinois medical marijuana applications filed Monday The ASSOCIATED PRESS

Hong Kong students boycott classes HONG KONG – Thousands of Hong Kong college and university students boycotted classes Monday to protest Beijing’s decision to restrict voting reforms, the start of a weeklong strike that marks the latest phase in the battle for democracy in the southern Chinese city.

The strike comes as dozens of the city’s tycoons and business leaders paid a rare group visit to Beijing to meet with China’s communist leaders, who want to bolster support from Hong Kong’s pro-establishment billionaire elites for the central government’s policies on the semiautonomous city.

Student organizers are dismayed over Beijing’s decision in August to rule out open nominations for candidates under proposed guidelines for the first-ever elections for Hong Kong’s top leader, promised for 2017.

– Wire reports

CHICAGO – Dozens of people who want to break into the medical marijuana business in Illinois lined up Monday to file their applications ahead of a 3 p.m. deadline.

Applicants were waiting in line with boxes of documents before the state agencies opened Monday morning, said Melaney Arnold, a spokeswoman for the state’s medical cannabis program.

“A lot of applicants waited until today to file,” Arnold said Monday. “The applications are voluminous with boxes of documents and even more information on flash drives.”

The Department of Financial and Professional Regulation and the Department of

Agriculture took applications for dispensaries and cultivation centers. The agencies aren’t expected to announce how many applications they received until later this week.

The state’s new medical marijuana law went into effect Jan. 1, but the first crop can’t be planted until permits for growers are issued later this year. The law prohibits patients from growing their own cannabis. Commercial growers will pay a 7 percent privilege tax on their marijuana sales.

Illinois expects to grant up to 21 permits for cultivation centers and up to 60 permits for dispensaries. For cultivation centers, there is a nonrefundable application fee of $25,000 and a first-year registration fee of $200,000.

BAGHDAD – Islamic State militants disguised in Iraqi army uniforms and driving stolen Humvees killed at least 40 Iraqi soldiers and captured 68 others in western Anbar province, breaking through a deteriorating Iraqi military offensive in an area where the United States recently broadened its airstrike campaign.

The wave of suicide bombings dealt a heavy blow to government efforts to rein in the militants, whose rampage has seized much of the country’s north and west – even as the U.S. and its allies began training Iraq’s Kurdish peshmerga fighters to bolster their ability to battle the Sunni extremists.

The attacks Sunday targeted troops stationed at Camp Saqlawiyah near the town of

Danielle Dobberstein said she has polycystic ovary syndrome, which affects a woman’s hormones and can complicate pregnancy. There was no indication that her babies would be born premature, but when she began having contractions, doctors told her there would be nothing they could do if she gave birth at 22 weeks.

As they are grieving, Danielle and Robbie Dobberstein still wear the hospital bracelets with their children’s names.

Danielle Dobberstein said she plans to make a framed memorial. The couple still needs to buy headstones and is awaiting for hospital bills. Danielle Dobberstein said other couples can share their stories on their GoFundMe page at www. gofundme.com/eic6bg.

their needs are. If they need someone to make dinner, help around the house or just talk, they need to feel confident [asking for help].”

Robbie and Danielle Dobberstein said they don’t normally ask others for help and have trouble knowing what to say when they do receive gifts or condolences. However, they admit they need help because they live paycheck-to-paycheck.

Robbie Dobberstein works as a volunteer Malta firefighter and has a full-time job at ServiceMaster in Sycamore.

Danielle Dobberstein works at the Aldi grocery store.

“The support has definitely helped, but once our family and friends go home for the day, it’s different,” Robbie Dobberstein said. “Once our minds get back on track, we start thinking the what-ifs again.

We can’t dictate that reaction. That’s an individual response.”

City Attorney Dean Frieders informed Peerboom over the weekend she needed to submit her resignation in writing, which he said she would do later this week. Once city staff receives Peerboom’s resignation, Rey will appoint someone to fill the remaining two years and eight months of her term. DeKalb aldermen will have to sign off on the appointment, Frieders said.

In the meantime, the city’s two remaining deputy clerks will absorb the city clerk’s duties.

Peerboom was the first clerk to serve in the position since aldermen voted to make it a part-time position with a $5,000 annual salary. Their decision came after Steve Kapitan’s 2012 resignation from the position he was elected to in 2009 after reportedly failing to comply with the state’s Open Meetings Act. City Council members decided that a deputy clerk position would become a full-time job that would handle most of the clerk’s duties not given to the clerk by law.

First Ward Alderman David Jacobson stood by the council’s decision to scale back the position. He questioned some of Peerboom’s Jagerschnitzel • Sauerbrauten complaints, including that Caramel Apple Pie she did not have her own ~Hillside Restaurant~ desk at City Hall, noting 121 N. 2nd St., DeKalb • 756-4749 aldermen also do not have

delivered to them from family, dinner made for them and visits from family and friends just to keep them company.

Support from family, friends and neighbors is essential in helping a couple handle a tragic loss, said Beverly Robertson, national director of the Pregnancy and Newborn Health Education Center at the March of Dimes.

The March of Dimes, a national nonprofit organization that helps mothers reach full-term pregnancies, has resources dedicated to helping couples like the Dobbersteins.

They have an online forum to help couples deal with loss and grief, offer bereavement kits with booklets about how to deal with the death of a baby, and have health professionals and educators answering questions at www.marchofdimes. org/askus.

“They need to be able to grieve in a way that makes sense to them,” Robertson said. “They need to be able to feel confident to say what

desks there.

While he offered some sympathy for her concerns about changes in the city, Jacobson said Peerboom should have talked to aldermen before resigning.

“Quitting without discussing it with anyone doesn’t seem to push the ball forward,” Jacobson said.

DeKalb resident Lynn Fazekas, who also ran for the city clerk position, contended the low salary and lack of a desk, paired with the duties of the deputy clerks showed city leaders’ disdain for the elected clerk position.

“The bottom line here is that the clerk’s office needs to be restored,” Fazekas said.

Sixth Ward Alderman Dave Baker said he would prefer the city clerk be a position appointed by the mayor, but respected that voters have twice since 2007 voted against allowing the post to be an appointed position.

Baker said he hoped Peerboom would run for the position again. He suggested council members increase the salary to around $30,000 so whoever became city clerk would be able to act as a whistleblower between aldermen and staff while also completing their legally assigned duties.

“We certainly don’t want somebody pretending to be able to do the job come in and not do the job,” Baker said.

sister suggested they start a GoFundMe online fundraising campaign to help them with medical and funeral costs.

In seven days, people have donated $6,780 to the campaign, called “Our Little Angels.”

Both Robbie and Danielle Dobberstein said they appreciate the support from family, friends and even strangers.

They said the support, which has come from as far as Texas and the United Kingdom, has comforted them in their grieving process.

One Los Angeles woman, whom the Dobbersteins never have met, made Amerakiss the dress that she was buried in after hearing about the couple’s loss. The woman made the dress and shipped it within two days, Robbie Dobberstein said.

“Don’t know the lady, don’t know anything about her,” Robbie Dobberstein said.

Statistics show the premature birth rate in Illinois is slightly higher than the national average. According to a March of Dimes’ 2013 Premature Birth Report Card, 12 percent of babies were born premature in Illinois in 2012 compared with 11.5 percent in the United States. More than any other ethnicity, African-American women in Illinois give birth to babies younger than 37 weeks at a rate of 17 percent compared with 10.8 percent for white Illinois women.

GENOA – When dancer Fara Maniaci suffered a muscle sprain in her neck about four years ago, the treatment she received inspired her to become a massage therapist.

Maniaci is the newest addition to Northern Rehab Physical Therapy Specialists, 540 E. Main St., Suite 5, Genoa.

The Genoa clinic has three physical therapists; Maniaci is the only massage therapist.

Maniaci was dancing during a class at Northern Illinois University in February 2010 and felt her shoulders and neck seize. When she went to a hospital, she was prescribed muscle relaxers, but Maniaci researched massage therapy on her own and never looked back.

“The benefits are natural, so I didn’t have to resort to muscle relaxers anymore,” she said. “That was kind of nice.”

After graduating from NIU with a bachelor’s degree in theater arts with an emphasis in dance performance and then teaching dance, Maniaci decided she wanted to become a massage therapist. In 2013, she graduated from Kishwaukee College’s massage program.

At Northern Rehab, Maniaci offers Swedish massage and deep tissue massage. People can meet her during Genoa Area Chamber of Commerce’s Business After Hours event from 5 to 7 p.m. today at the Genoa clinic. She will be giving free chair massages.

Patients at Northern Rehab in Genoa have wanted the clinic to employ a massage therapist for years, but it wasn’t until recently that they found the right

Specialists, 540 E. Main St., Suite 5, Genoa fit, said Melissa Payne Wagner, physical therapist and manager of Northern Rehab in Genoa.

Maniaci began working there this month. She already has visited other businesses to provide massages and

offers sports massages to athletes with injuries, Payne Wagner said.

“It’s a nice extra service we can offer,” Payne Wagner. “It’s a nice service for people to feel good and supports our physical therapy philosophy of getting people moving and feeling better.”

Payne Wagner said if people are hesitant to get a massage, the after hours event is a good chance for them to see if it’s right for them.

“Some people are intimidated going to a spa setting,” Payne Wagner said.

“Here, it’s more of a clinical setting. It’s a little different, but maybe less intimidating for people to get a massage.”

Genoa Soaring Project taking off There is an excitement soaring in the air in Genoa and the chamber of commerce is excited to be a part of it!

The Genoa Area Chamber of Commerce is joining the city of Genoa, Genoa Main Street Inc., Genoa-Kingston public schools and other area businesses and organizations to create the Genoa Soaring Project, an economic development team planning for the area’s future. The Genoa Soaring Project was inspired by the SOAR acronym, which stands for Strengths, Opportunities, Aspirations and Responses.

The goal of the Genoa Soaring Project is to identify potential opportunities for Genoa to pursue economic development.

The Genoa Soaring Project will have several measurable

CHAMBER VIEW Cortney Strohacker objectives: • Engaging a broad cross section of the public in community and economic development discussions to gain support for the overall process.

• Providing opportunities to help plan the future of Genoa in a strategic and effective way resulting in a significant number of people and organizations included in the action plans.

• Genoa will have a consistent development action plan to guide decisions of the city and other relevant organizations during the next several years.

• Depending on the actions identified and the follow-through with the process, the Genoa area could see improvements in number and size of businesses and quality of life in the community that can lead to increases in population, sales tax revenue and employment over the long-term.

This project is facilitated by a team from the Center for Governmental Studies at Northern Illinois University.

CGS has worked with other communities in northern Illinois on a variety of local development and action strategies.

A grant from the DeKalb County Community Foundation provided funds to start the project. The city’s Economic Development Commission is seeking additional con-

tributions from individuals, organizations and businesses in the area for the project. Donations are being handled by the DeKalb County Economic Development Corp. Checks can be made out to DCEDC with Genoa Soaring Project written on the memo line and mailed to Genoa City Hall, 333 E. First St., Genoa, IL 60135.

Please consider joining us in this exciting project and together we can help Genoa soar to new heights. If you have any questions regarding the Genoa Soaring Project or would like to know how you can come on board, call either Michael Cirone at 815-6902843 or Carolyn Tobinson at 815-761-4660.

SKETCH VIEW

Appointed or elected, clerk needs role DeKalb’s voters say they want to elect their city clerk.

The DeKalb City Council wants that person to be a figurehead, with real control of the clerk’s office resting with the city manager.

That clearly wasn’t working for Liz Peerboom, who resigned Friday as DeKalb’s city clerk with a scathing email in which she accused City Manager Anne Marie Gaura of “slitting throats and leaving body bags.”

It wasn’t a classy exit – the entire email sounded like an aggrieved employee taking shots at her boss.

Only Peerboom did not work for Gaura. As the elected clerk, she was supposed to be accountable to the voters, and represent their interests.

In reality, Peerboom could have said most of what she did without quitting and it might have done more good. She does have a point, however: The DeKalb City Clerk’s position has been minimized, no doubt frustrating for someone who takes the job seriously.

Peerboom, who worked in the city clerk’s office for 19 years and was elected as a write-in candidate with 75 percent of the vote in 2013, is the second consecutive elected city clerk to resign in a flameout. It’s probably time again to re-examine the purpose and future of the office.

Why have voters elect a figurehead?

One argument is that an independent official might be less inclined to withhold public information on topics that city staff and council members might consider sensitive – that is, provided that the person elected is truly independent and understands where their obligations lie.

However, the clerk’s duties have been reduced substantially enough to make that unlikely. The city manager has the real control, with supervisory authority over the people doing most of the work in the office.

The counter-point is that an elected clerk might be popular for reasons other than his or her ability to do the job.

That’s how the city got to this point in the first place.

Rather than acting as an independent watchdog, Peerboom’s predecessor, Steve Kapitan, quit in 2012, after it was revealed he had not been keeping required minutes of closed session City Council meetings.

After that debacle, city officials decided they wanted to hire their own clerk. When voters turned the idea down in April 2013, they decided to do the next-best thing: Make the job as unimportant as possible.

Aldermen reduced the position’s salary from $61,000 to $5,000 a year, and made it a part-time rather than full-time job. The deputy clerk – an employee hired and supervised by the city manager’s office – became a full-time employee.

Had voters been asked, “do you want to elect someone who will earn $5,000 a year to rubber-stamp documents as required by law?”, their answer might well have been, “No.” If people say they want to elect a clerk, let them elect a clerk, and let that clerk have a role to play.

We do not need to elect figureheads, and anyone who takes the job seriously will not want to serve as one.

ANOTHER VIEW

More money than ever flows to campaigns The billionaires and millionaires have pulled out their checkbooks. The advertising agencies and polling firms have crafted their products. TV stations and cable operators have booked the time.

Now the ads, positive and negative, have begun to fill the airwaves, selling their product with smears and cheers and forcing consumers to try to sort out the truth, the best or at least their favorite among the choices.

But the advertising isn’t selling pizza or peanut butter or pop. It’s hawking candidates for all levels of office, but primarily for top positions: governor, U.S. Senate and Congress.

And it’s happening across the country.

The use of advertising and public relations techniques to promote politicians is far from new. The late Joe McGinniss detailed how those techniques were used by Roger Ailes, who now runs Fox News, to elect Richard Nixon in 1968 in his classic book “The Selling of the President.”

But more money than ever is pouring into campaigns this year, the result of a pair of Supreme Court decisions – 2010’s Citizens United v. the Federal Election Commission, in which a 5-4 split court allowed corporate spending on elections, and April’s McCutcheon ruling, in which the same conservative/liberal split struck down limits on individual campaign spending.

“If Citizens United opened a door, today’s decision, we fear, will open a floodgate,” Justice Stephen G. Breyer said in his dissent, which he read from the bench five months ago.

Breyer has already been proved prophetic.

According to the Washington Post, 310 donors gave a combined $11.6 million more by this summer than would have been allowed before the ruling.

Not surprisingly, those contributions favored Republican candidates and committees over Democratic ones by 2 to 1.

The cash has continued to flow and is fueling a never-ending onslaught of television commercials that often dirty up the process by attacking candidates with distortions and exaggerations and, at best – when they’re positive – overstate the candidate’s virtues.

That makes an undecided voter’s choice more difficult and drives elections to be ever more partisan and divisive.

The flood of money won’t stop before November – or at all as 2016 presidential campaigns are already gearing up.

The biggest hope is that a direct correlation between spending and votes doesn’t become the electoral norm. If that occurs, the big money really will have purchased the democratic process.

Why has immigration shifted?

What should we do about immigration policy? It’s a question many are asking, and some useful perspective comes from an article in Foreign Affairs by British-born, California-based historian Gregory Clark, unhelpfully titled, “The American Dream Is an Illusion.”

The dream to which Clark refers is the idea, promoted by Emma Lazarus’s poem at the Statue of Liberty, that this is “a country of opportunity for all, a country that invites in the world’s tired, its poor and its huddled masses.”

The problem, said Clark, is that upward mobility is something of a myth, in America and elsewhere. In his recent book, “The Son Also Rises: Surnames and the History of Social Mobility,” he shows that advantages that some families have over others – in social position, genetic endowment, traditions of literacy and numeracy – tend to be passed on, not inevitably from parent to child, but persistently and to a considerable extent to descendants for seven and 10 generations.

Clark charts the prevalence of last names in high-status occupations and positions over generations. After the 1066 Conquest, Englishmen with Norman surnames appeared disproportionately to population at Oxford and Cambridge in 1170 and in Parliament in 1259. They continue to do so, to a lesser extent, today.

He finds the same phenomenon in Sweden, Chile, Japan, China and (especially) caste-bound India. Upward and downward mobility exist, but usually at a glacial pace.

An exception, as he notes, is America in the period from 1892, when the Ellis Island immigration station opened, until mass immigration was ended by World War I in 1914 and restrictive legislation in 1924. Ellis Islanders and their descendants rose rapidly up the educational and economic ladder.

The opening of Ellis Island coincided

VIEWS Michael Barone with a shift of immigration from Northwestern Europe to Southern and Eastern Europe. These people were not just seeking economic opportunity. Rather, as I argued in my 2013 book, “Shaping Our Nation,” they were second-caste residents of multi-ethnic states -- Jews from the Czarist and Austro-Hungarian empires, Poles from those nations and Germany, Czechs and Slovaks, Slovenes and Serbs from Austria-Hungary and the Balkans, Southern Italians from a recently unified northern-dominated Kingdom of Italy.

For these second-caste citizens, America’s prime attraction was the principle of equal citizenship. As George Washington told the elders of the Touro Synagogue, toleration in America was not a favor from the majority, but a recognition that “all possess alike liberty of conscience and immunities of citizenship.”

As Clark notes, there was a lot of upward mobility among these groups -most spectacularly among Jews, but also among Italians, Poles and other minorities who exceeded national income averages by the 1950s. It was matched during these years also by the cumulative but slower upward mobility of Irish Catholics who arrived between the 1840s and 1890s.

The Ellis Islanders, blocked from upward mobility at home, brought to America advantages of genetic endowment and cultural tradition – nature and nurture – which enabled them to move upward unusually rapidly.

Asian immigrants seem to be moving upward similarly today. But not the group the Census Bureau calls Hispanics. In my 2001 book, “The New Americans,” I predicted that Hispanics would move up-

ward, much as Italians had a century before. That was overoptimistic. There has been little or no upward mobility among third- and fourth-generation Hispanics.

Why the difference? One reason is that current Hispanic immigrants seem to be characterized by economic need rather than second-class status. Immigrants from Mexico and illegal immigrants (mostly from Mexico) are particularly downscale.

The second reason is that the America that welcomes them is no longer a nation with equal citizenship for all, but a nation that shunts them into a special supposedly privileged but also stigmatized minority group. Anomalously, racial quotas and preferences benefit those never discriminated against in the United States.

Some preferences have hurt more than helped. Steering mortgages to noncreditworthy Hispanics produced foreclosures and personal tragedies – and a financial crisis.

As author Michael Gonzalez notes, Hispanic advancement has been minimal in California with its high welfare spending and taxes. Hispanics have done better in low-welfare, low-tax, high-economic-growth Texas.

There’s an obvious lesson here for immigration policy. Immigration can promote social mobility, but not always. The United States got high-skill immigrants in the Ellis Island period largely by happenstance. Today, Canada and Australia profit from upward mobility because their immigration laws admit only those with high skills. If we want similar results, we should follow their lead.

Twitter parodies, politicians and police raids

By KIRSTEN SALYER Bloomberg News For as long as there has been Twitter, there have been parody accounts. From Rep. Paul Ryan to Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel to the pope, public figures often find themselves the subject of these impersonations. Most have come to accept them as an annoying but inevitable side effect of life in the public eye.

And then there’s the mayor of Peoria, Illinois. Earlier this year, Mayor Jim Ardis discovered the Twitter account @ peoriamayor, which was described as a “foul-mouthed political with a penchant for liquor, drugs and prostitutes.” Ardis contacted local police, Twitter suspended the account, and police raided the apartment of its creator, Jon Daniel, in April, seizing smartphones and computers.

Daniel was investigated for “false personification of a public official.” His roommate was arrested and indicted for marijuana that police discovered during their search.

Now, Daniel has filed a lawsuit against the

city, backed by the American Civil Liberties Union, arguing that he was a victim of a civil-rights violation.

This all has the taste of a bad joke gone too far. The account in question never attracted more than a few dozen followers. Daniels eventually even added a note to the profile to say the account was a parody. Of course, nobody wants to be made fun of online. But in this instance – of a small, obvious parody account of the mayor of a city of just more than 100,000 people – sending in the police seems heavy handed. The reaction to the story has been even more interesting. The tale of Twitter, parodies and police has struck a nerve because it touches on a larger challenge of the digital world: ensuring authenticity, autonomy and accountability online.

The events shine the spotlight on technology companies’ struggles to create policies that protect user identity, privacy and control, while remaining platforms for free expression. On social media, Daniel has become a rallying point for freedom of speech and against excessive police force.

Meanwhile, the roommate’s grandmother has started a Change.org petition for the state’s attorney to drop the criminal charges against her grandson, saying the police used faulty search warrants. The petition has more than 500 signatures.

Tech companies have also been inconsistent in responding to claims of harassment. A recent report from the Association for Progressive Communications’ “Take Back the Tech” campaign found that Twitter, Facebook and YouTube lacked transparency around how much abuse actually happens on the platforms and how the companies handle it.

Politicians can continue to expect to be targets of parody accounts, and they should have means to address them. But let’s let tech companies put a priority on addressing serious issues of identity theft and harassment, not overreacting to thinskinned politicians. After all, it might be a losing battle either way. For all of Ardis’s pains, his efforts have had the opposite effect: There are now more than 10 fake Peoria mayors on Twitter.

MAC FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK

Toledo starts quickly in West

By STEVE NITZ snitz@shawmedia.com Saturday featured an important early season football game in the Mid-American Conference West.

It was Toledo that gained the first edge in the division, topping Ball State, 34-23, at the Glass Bowl.

The game featured a nearly three-hour delay because of inclement weather in northwest Ohio. The victory also was the Rockets’ 500th as a program.

“It was certainly a unique night with the weather setting and the setting of the game, but I thought our kids really stayed focused and I really thought both teams played extremely hard,” Toledo coach Matt Campbell said. “Real-

More online For all your Northern Illinois University sports coverage – including stories, features, scores, photos, videos, blogs and more – log on to HuskieWire.com. ly, I thought at the end of it our kids did a good job executing some of the details of the game. We’ve certainly got a lot of work to continue to work on, but very proud of our performance and look forward to another great challenge this week (against Central Michigan).”

Both Toledo and Ball State were expected to compete with Northern Illinois in the MAC West. The

Cardinals now have lost three straight, inclucing a close one at Iowa in Week 2 and a tough upset to FCS Indiana State in Week 3.

The Rockets lost talented running back Kareem Hunt to injury in the game.

“I don’t know if I know a definite on that right now,” Campbell said of Hunt’s injury. “I think it’s more day to day than anything. Nothing that’s certainly long term or severe.”

Broncos win two in a row: Western Michigan hadn’t won two straight games since 2011 before the Broncos’ 45-14 win over FCS Murray State gave them two victories in a row. Western Michigan defeated Idaho, 45-33, last week.

“I think that was just a big, big game for our kids,” Broncos coach

P.J. Fleck said. “None of these kids have been on a winning streak.”

Western Michigan true freshman running back Jarvion Franklin ran for three touchdowns and already has nine on the season.

“I think it just shows how much recruiting is to a program, I really believe that. Coaches get too much credit when you win, they get too much credit when you lose,” Fleck said. “It’s about having the best players at times and then developing those players. Jarvion’s one of them. He’s got nine touchdowns on the year, we had nine touchPhoto courtesy of NIU Media Services downs as a football team last year, and now he’s got nine of those this Northern Illinois sophomore running back Joel Bouagnon tries to outrun an Arkansas tackler year in three games.”

WEEK 3: BEARS 27, JETS 19

FLIGHT DIVERTED Bears cornerback Kyle Fuller intercepts a pass in the end zone intended for Jets receiver David Nelson in the third quarter of Monday night’s game in East Rutherford, N.J. The Bears won, 27-19.

AP photo

Bears not perfect, but 2-1 All about trust with Marshall So, through three weeks, here’s what we know about the 2-1 Bears: Jay Cutler and weapons Brandon Marshall, Alshon Jeffery and Martellus Bennett have a passing game that can compete with anyone in the league when their offensive line gives them time, which is most of the time.

When you consider the Bears have played two of those games without Matt Slauson and Roberto Garza against two of the best pass rushing teams in the league in the 49ers and Jets, pass protection is not a problem for now.

On the other hand, the running game – or lack thereof – is getting to be an issue, and the problem there is both up front and on the sideline.

The Bears can’t block it and Marc Trestman refuses to call it. Through three quarters against the Jets on Monday night, Trestman

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush had called 32 passes and 12 runs.

What we don’t know is if Trestman refuses to run the ball because he doesn’t think he has to, or because he knows his guys can’t block it.

On defense, the Bears are marginally better than last year, but it’s an awfully small margin.

They’re a little better against the run than they were last year, just a little, and the pass rush that they invested so heavily in is actually worse through three weeks.

See ARKUSH, page B6

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Most NFL coaches and general managers care only about football, and they’re suspicious of players who don’t have the game on their brain 24/7.

That’s a generalization, but if you can tell me what any GM’s hobbies are or what book any head coach just finished that didn’t have to do with football, leadership or battlefield tactics, you win a Marc Trestman-autographed day planner.

I was thinking of all of those Type A personalities last week when, in the middle of a 40-minute news conference about domestic violence and mental-health issues, Bears receiver Brandon Marshall dropped this nugget: “There’s a lot of great stories we’re doing that no one knows of, there’s a lot of things in place, especially on the mental-health side

VIEWS Rick Morrissey that no one knows of. And I do it for a living now. I (could not) care less about football.

This is my purpose.’’

Could not care less about football? A purpose in life that has nothing to do with Xs and Os? What??? I’m guessing jaws and remotes dropped at Halas Hall upon receipt of that news. Football never is supposed to lose its No. 1 ranking in the minds and hearts of the people who play and coach at the highest level. Anyone who doesn’t look at it that way is viewed as a spreader of sedition.

SPORTS SHORTS NIU women’s golf in 5th place in Cardinal Classic The Northern Illinois women’s golf team is fifth after the first round of the Cardinal Classic in Yorktown, Indiana.

NIU shot a 310 as a team Monday. Junior Samantha Coyne’s is four strokes out of the lead after shooting a career-low 73 in the first round of play, putting her in seventh place, tied with two other golfers.

“It’s good to see Sam shoot low numbers,” NIU coach Kim Kester said in a news release.

“Overall, she played steady and [held] it together. It was good to see her play well.”

NIU sophomore Sidney Brickey is in 12th after shooting a 75.

The final round of play is today.

Tyson aids motorcyclist after Vegas crash LAS VEGAS – Retired boxer Mike Tyson is famous for his aggressiveness, but he showed his compassionate side last week when he came to the rescue of an injured motorcyclist who had crashed on a Las Vegas interstate.

Attorney Stephen Stubbs said his client, 29-year-old Ryan Chesley, was on Interstate 15 in Las Vegas about 9:30 p.m. Tuesday when a taxi cut him off and he went down.

Stubbs said Chesley was lying on the ground when he looked up and recognized Tyson, who was yelling at people not to touch Chesley.

“He thought he was hallucinating,” Stubbs said. “He thought he was in some other world.”

Versteeg back to full strength Recovery from knee surgery might have taken longer than he had hoped

By MARK LAZERUS

Preseason opener

mlazerus@suntimes.com For the record, Kris Versteeg agrees with Blackhawks fans.

“I was brutal last year in the end stretch,” he said, echoing a sentiment among those who turned on him as he trudged through the playoffs, a shell of his old self.

But Versteeg has a different perspective looking back on last season and, likely, a different expectation looking ahead to this season. Although he wasn’t happy with the three goals and nine assists he posted during the final four months of last season, including the playoffs, just the fact that he made it all the way to June was a significant accomplishment.

In March 2013, Versteeg had major surgery on his right knee.

He spent his summer rehabbing rather than training and never was able to regain the strength,

vs. Detroit, 7:30 p.m. today, CSN+ speed and agility that made him a three-time 20-goal scorer, including twice with the Hawks.

But he gutted it out to the end, enduring the indignity of three healthy scratches in the first two rounds of the playoffs, and still played a meaningful role from the top line to the fourth line, a valuable and versatile tool for coach Joel Quenneville.

“I was really proud of what I did last year,” Versteeg said. “I came back from that injury and still had almost half a point a game and played hard – as hard as I could – every night and tried to help the team win.”

That perspective is another sign of the maturation of Versteeg, who burst onto the scene

as a wild, free-spirited, rapping rookie in 2008-09 but returned to Chicago in November as a poised veteran leader. He even settled down and got married this summer: “She’s got me on lockdown,” he joked.

“Maturity, obviously, comes with age,” he said. “I came here [at] 20 years old, so I had a lot to learn then and still have a lot to learn now. But you just try to learn from the older guys when you’re coming through the ranks and what’s good and what’s bad, and, hopefully, I get better and better every year.”

So, no, Versteeg’s motivation this season isn’t to shove all the scorn back in everyone’s faces. He gets why fans were upset with his play, but he also realizes that unless you’ve been through the arduous process of returning from a major injury, it can be hard to fathom.

He also is buoyed by the fact his knee “feels fantastic” after a full summer of real training – lifting, sprinting, skating. He looked quick in training camp at Notre Dame, matching Patrick Kane with a camp-high three goals and adding two as-

sists in four scrimmages.

“We had a good talk at the end of last year,” Quenneville said. “I think he knew he wasn’t the player he wanted to be. It took him probably a little longer than he was hoping for to come off that injury and do what he wanted to do. But I think he prepared himself this offseason. He looks like he’s fit.

He looks like he’s got the puck a lot more. I like what he’s done to get excited about this year.”

Versteeg likely will start the season at third-line right wing, alongside Bryan Bickell and Andrew Shaw. But he hopes to be his old self again – playing on every line in every situation, on the power play and on the penalty kill and using his speed and skill to give the Hawks another reliable offensive weapon.

And if that wins back the fans, all the better.

“You always want to prove people right and prove people wrong,” he said. “But it’s not like it’s a burden on me or anything. I’m just extremely excited about coming out this season and playing hockey and being rested and fully ready to go.”

NIU using Sox, Bassitt slow down Tigers bye week to rest up CUBS/WHITE SOX ROUNDUP

The ASSOCIATED PRESS

DETROIT – Chris Bassitt pitched into the eighth inning for his first major league win, and the White Sox slowed Detroit’s chase of the AL Central title with a 2-0 victory over the Tigers on Monday night.

Detroit is one game ahead of the second-place Royals, who beat Cleveland, 2-0 ,in their regularly scheduled game. Hours earlier, the Indians finished off a victory in a suspended game against Kansas City.

Tyler Flowers hit a two-run homer for the Sox, and the Tigers were unable to take advantage of the Sox’s inexperienced starter.

The loss assured Detroit would start a division series on the road, even if it wins the AL Central.

The game turned into an unexpected pitchers’ duel between Bassitt and fellow rookie Kyle Lobstein. Both were making their fifth career starts, but they looked like aces in the middle of a pennant race.

Bassitt (1-1) went 7⅔ innings and pitched out of two early jams. He gave up six hits, walked one batter – the last one he faced – and struck out

White Sox pitcher Chris Bassitt throws against the Tigers in the first inning of Monday night’s game in Detroit. The Sox won, 2-0.

Alex Avila three times but no one else. Jake Petricka got four outs for his 14th save.

Cardinals 8, Cubs 0: At Chicago, Adam Wainwright joined Clayton Kershaw as the majors’ only 20-game winners, pitching three-hit ball over seven innings against the Cubs.

Wainwright hit the 20-win mark for the second time while matching his career-high for victories, and the Cardinals

moved a step closer toward their second straight division title.

They remained 2½ games ahead of Pittsburgh in the NL Central with five to play with the Pirates beating Atlanta, 1-0.

St. Louis clinched its fourth straight playoff appearance Sunday.

Wainwright (20-9) won his fifth straight start and made it look easy, striking out eight and walking one.

He gave up a double to Anthony Rizzo with two out in the first and did not allow another hit until back-to-back singles

by Luis Valbuena and Welington Castillo with two out in the seventh.

The only other time Wainwright won 20 was in 2010, and that year, victory No. 20 also came at Wrigley Field.

He got plenty of support in this one, with the Cardinals pounding Travis Wood (8-13) for seven runs and eight hits over five innings.

They scored four in the fourth and three in the fifth on the way to their eighth win in 10 games.

Matt Holliday had two hits and scored two runs. He also drove in one.

NIU gets time to lick wounds:

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Coming off its first regular-season loss in more than two years, Northern Illinois has a chance to regroup. The Huskies have this week off, and will be back in action Oct. 4 against Kent State.

Game time is 4 p.m.

“We’re going to have three practices than we’re going to get on the road and recruit, because the rules say we can,” NIU coach Rod Carey said. “We’re all going to get out and go do that. Saturday we’re going to get the guys up early on Saturday morning and lift them, and let them be college students and enjoy college football.

“Maybe let them work a little bit ahead on homework, which Saturday is usually pretty busy around here, so they don’t always have the opportunity to do that. And then Sunday we’ll be back on the practice field.”

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – As Brad Keselowski flaunted his fast car by leading session after session at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Joey Logano took a good-natured swipe at his teammate by asking him via Twitter to slow down.

The first message apparently fell on deaf ears, so Logano tried again the next day, tweeting to Keselowski: “You must have not heard me yesterday. Please?”

Logano ultimately didn’t need an assist from Keselowski on Sunday. He led the final 30 laps to grab a pivotal victory, and the win pushed Logano into the second round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, where he and Keselowski are the only two drivers guaranteed of advancing.

Team Penske is hot – the hottest organization in NASCAR with four wins in the past five races – and Logano and Keselowski are ruthless right now about results. They aren’t content simply securing spots in the second round of the Chase. They want to win everything in sight and not let anyone else in the game.

“Knowing that we’re in the next round is nice,” said Logano after his victory, “but we want to go out there and win. Our goal is to win the championship. Just because we’re in the next (round) doesn’t mean we’re going to take a week off next week.”

This 16-driver Chase under a new elimination format was supposed to pit Penske against mighty Hendrick Motorsports, but it’s been all Penske through the first two races. Kevin Harvick has held his own, but his Stewart-Haas Racing entry has yet to stack up to the two Penske cars when a win is on the line.

And the four-car Hendrick effort? Well, Kasey Kahne could be eliminated Sunday at Dover, six-time and defending champion Jimmie Johnson has been mediocre at best, and Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt Jr. aren’t yet on the same level as the two Penske teams.

Driver Joey Logano holds the prize lobster as he celebrates in Victory Lane on Sunday after winning the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Loudon, N.H.

IN THE PITS Jenna Fryer Granted, the 10-race Chase has ebbs and flows – Matt Kenseth won the first two races last year but still lost the championship to Johnson.

But what the first two races this year has shown is that Penske is playing for keeps.

Keselowski pushed hard for the organization to sign Logano, whom he believed would be a great complement to an organization on an upswing. Logano was signed during Keselowski’s 2012 championship run – the first Cup title for Roger Penske in 40 years of NASCAR participation – and indeed strengthened the two-car team.

Although Keselowski failed to make the Chase last year and was ineligible to defend his title, Logano earned his first career berth as both cars were competitive for the first time in many, many years. Being shut out of the Chase made Keselowski more determined, and he’s pushed and pushed behind the scenes for Penske to take an aggressive approach and rise to the level of Rick Hendrick’s

industry standard team.

So all season long has been a competition between the two organizations, with Harvick trying desperately to crash the party. Logano at Bristol picked up his third win of the year – at the time it tied him with Keselowski, Gordon, Earnhardt and Johnson for most in the series, and then Keselowski surged to his fourth victory two weeks later.

Keselowski’s win at Richmond was good for the top seed in the Chase, and he made it two-straight with a victory in the Chase opener at Chicagoland to give him five on the year. Logano answered with Sunday’s win at New Hampshire, and both drivers have made it clear they won’t coast into each round. If they somehow could win all 10 Chase races, they’d have no pity for the other teams.

“I’d like to say the 35-inch, 35-ounce bat, they’re swinging it hard,” Walt Czarnecki, vice chairman at Penske, said Sunday. “Someone asked me a minute ago, ‘This must make you feel pretty good, both cars are advancing to the next round?’ I said, ‘Let me tell you something about this group – we’re worried about

Dover right now.’

“That’s our intent, one race at a time, and that’s how we’ll proceed.”

It already has been a successful year for the Penske organization, which celebrated its first IndyCar championship since 2006 last month when Will Power claimed his first career title. Now Penske is in command of the Chase, and also leading the owner standings in the Nationwide Series.

Keselowski feels the attention the team is receiving now didn’t come until the seventh or eighth race of his title run two years ago. He’s used to attention and doesn’t mind it, but cautions the Penske organization against believing the hype.

“It’s different because it’s so early, and I know that we have so much further to go and so much more work to do,” Keselowski said. “In that sense, it’s a compliment. But it’s kind of scary because you don’t want to get overinflated as a team and think you’ve done what you needed to do when there’s so much work left to be done.”

Illinois quarterback Wes Lunt throws the ball in the second half against Youngstown State on Aug. 30 in Champaign. This season Lunt looks like two different quarterbacks in the first and second halves.

By DAVID GINSBURG The Associated Press OWINGS MILLS, Md. – Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti criticized a report that suggests he and other team officials tried to persuade the NFL to be lenient on Ray Rice after the running back was arrested for knocking out his then-fiancée in an Atlantic City elevator.

Bisciotti held a news conference Monday to respond to an ESPN report last week that he, president Dick Cass and general manager Ozzie Newsome pushed commissioner Roger Goodell for leniency for their star running back.

“Their accusations didn’t jibe with what we know is fact,” said Bisciotti, who said he expected Rice to be suspended four to six games.

The owner also said, “What’s obvious is the majority of the sources work for Ray. ... They are building a case for reinstatement.”

Rice originally was suspended two-games, but after a video surfaced Sept. 8 showing the violent attack, he was released by the team and suspended indefinitely by the league. He has appealed his suspension.

“As I stated in our letter to you on September 9, we did not do all we should have done, and no amount of explanation can remedy that. But there has been no misdirection or misinformation by the Ravens,” Bisciotti said in a statement released before the news conference.

“We have stated what we knew and what we thought throughout – from the original report of the incident, to the release of the first videotape, to the release of the second videotape, which revealed

AP photo

Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti addresses the controversy surrounding former running back Ray Rice at a news conference Monday in Owings Mills, Md. a much harsher reality,” Bisciotti added in the released statement. “As we said in our response to ESPN’s questions on Friday, it was our understanding based on Ray’s account that in the course of a physical altercation between the two of them he slapped Janay with an open hand, and that she hit her head against the elevator rail or wall as she fell to the ground.”

Rice punched Janay Palmer in a casino elevator Feb. 15. He was arrested on assault charges, and a police summons stated that Rice had struck Palmer with his hand, rendering her unconscious.

Rice has been accepted into New Jersey’s pretrial intervention program, which enabled him to avoid jail time and could result in having the charge expunged from his record after he meets the requirements.

Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome reiterated in the team’s statement Monday that Rice had been honest with him about what happened.

“When I met with Ray to discuss the incident, I asked him one question: ‘Did you hit her?’

He responded: ‘Yes,’ ” Newsome said. “Ray and I didn’t discuss details beyond that, because in my mind, if he hit her, no matter the circumstances or explanation, he needed to own the situation. I immediately focused on Ray taking responsibility and making amends.

“I later said Ray didn’t lie to me because he told me he hit her, and that is what the video later showed – although the video was much more violent than what I had pictured.”

According to the ESPN report, the Ravens believed this would “fortify the team’s ar-

gument to Goodell that Rice should be given a suspension of fewer games.”

Rice originally was suspended in late July under the NFL’s personal conduct policy after he was charged with assault for the Feb. 15 attack.

Ravens coach John Harbaugh denied he wanted Rice released after the first videotape surfaced.

“I did not recommend cutting Ray Rice from the team after seeing the first videotape,” the coach said in the release. “ I was very disturbed by that tape, and I told people that the facts should determine the consequences. When I saw the second videotape, I immediately felt that we needed to release Ray.” Added Newsome: “Neither John nor anyone else ever recommended cutting Ray Rice before we saw the second videotape on September 8.”

RYDER CUP

Lunt different QB in 2nd half

Partnership concern LeBron fan can return more about results to arena after ban lifted

By DAVID MERCER The Associated Press CHAMPAIGN – Through four games this season, Illinois has seen two very different Wes Lunts at quarterback The first-half Lunt might leave Illini fans wondering what they’ve gotten in the transfer from Oklahoma State.

The second-half version has three times rescued a team in danger of upset losses and pulled out wins, putting up some big numbers along the way.

Both Lunt and his coaches at Illinois (3-1) say the reasons behind that split are hardly all on him.

“We’ve got some kids that are just, they’re just not adjusting well to the speed of the game early in the game,” offensive coordinator Bill Cubit said Monday, talking mainly about his receivers. “And then you don’t see it in the second half.”

But why the big difference, week after week?

“It’s young kids,” Cubit said.

Lunt himself still young, a redshirt sophomore with a little less than a season of starting experience. Two of his top receivers, Mike Dudek and Malik Turner, are true freshmen. Dudek leads Illinois with 19 catches. Another favorite target, Geronimo Alison, is a junior, but his previous experience is in junior college.

The differences in what they and Lunt are able to do over the first 30 minutes and the second half hour are startling, on the field and on the stat sheet.

In the first half, Lunt is a combined 26 of 45 for 305 yards and one touchdown. He and his receivers have struggled in every first half to complete short, quick passes and get the

offense moving.

Look to the receivers for the reason, Cubit said.

“If you’re supposed to be there in 10 yards, you better be there in 10 yards, (not) 9 and a half,” he said.

And the Illini have led only once at halftime this season, a thin 7-6 edge over Youngstown State in the opener.

The quarterback who takes the field in the second half couldn’t be more different.

Lunt is 74 of 107 (69.2 percent) with two interceptions, 10 touchdowns and 932 yards.

His second-half yardage alone would put him ahead of all but 30 quarterbacks in the Bowl Subdivision.

And, as a result, Lunt also has those comeback wins over Youngstown, Western Kentucky and Texas State.

Combine the two Lunts and Illinois has one of the top quarterbacks in the country.

He’s tied for ninth in touchdowns with 11, ranked ninth in passing yards with 1,237 and ranked 14th in yards a game at 309.3.

But why, week after week, do Lunt and his receivers start slow and, with the exception of a loss to Washington, finish so fast?

Look at the Texas State game, Lunt said. Illinois fell behind – by as much as 21-6 at one point – and picked up the pace as a result.

“I think the tempo got moved up and kind of got into sparring mode, where we were going really fast and trying to make things happen,” he said.

But the quarterback hopes he doesn’t have to engineer another comeback this Saturday.

At Nebraska (4-0), he doesn’t like his odds.

“We’ve played well from behind, but we just can’t put ourselves in that situation against a great team on the road.”

CLEVELAND CAVALIERS

By TOM WITHERS

By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press GLENEAGLES, Scotland – European captain Paul McGinley is having second thoughts about a Rory McIlroy-Graeme McDowell partnership in the Ryder Cup. Attribute that to an ordinary record, not an acrimonious lawsuit.

The Northern Irish duo has made it clear in recent weeks that McIlroy’s lawsuit against Rory McIlroy Dublin-based Horizon Sports Management – which involves allegations against McDowell – has not affected their friendship and would not be a problem at Gleneagles this week.

“Both of them have assured me all along that there’s no issue, and that’s the way I’ve always seen it,” McGinley said Monday in the opening news conference of Ryder Cup week.

“Whether they come together or not is another story.”

McDowell and McIlroy are longtime friends and major champions. They have been

Ryder Cup partners for all but one session dating to 2010 at Wales, but their record is hardly impressive. They have won only two of those matches and halved another.

“Three or four months ago, I had a very strong view that they would have been (partners),” McGinley said. “But the more I look at their statistics, and the more I look at the different value I have with them, I’m thinking there may be a value in not doing it.

Graeme But if I don’t do McDowell it, it certainly won’t be because of any issues.

“As both of them have said, there are no issues between them and both will be happy to play together,” he said. “But it will be my decision ultimately.”

Both teams arrived at Gleneagles on a relatively quiet day in which a haircut attracted most of the attention.

Rickie Fowler, a teen idol in golf circles, stepped off the U.S. charter at Edinburgh with “USA” cut into the side of his hair.

The Associated Press CLEVELAND – LeBron James came back. One of his biggest fans has re turned, too.

James Blair, banned by the Cavaliers after he ran onto the floor in Quickens Loans Arena during a Cleveland-Miami game in 2013, is again permitted inside the building.

Wearing a homemade T-shirt that said: “We Miss You” on the front and “ 2 0 1 4 C o m e LeBron James Back,” on the back, Blair spent a few seconds on the court with the NBA superstar during the Cavs game against the Heat on March 20, 2013, before he was grabbed by security. James was not threatened by the fan and went out of his way to pat him on the head as he was being whisked away.

The Cavaliers said Monday the team met with Blair and decided to lift the indefinite ban after it was deemed he did not pose a

security risk. The team began reviewing Blair’s ban before James re-signed with the Cavs as a free agent this summer.

A team spokesman said James was not consulted in the review of Blair.

At the time of the incident, James said he didn’t feel endangered by Blair.

“He said he missed me and come back, please,” James said. “It happened once before in [Madison Square] Garden, so I wasn’t worried. There are metal detectors here, so we were OK. I embraced it.”

Blair’s moment of oncourt infamy came on a strange night at the Q. James scored 25 points as the Heat overcame a 27-point deficit in the third quarter to win their 24th straight game, the second-longest winning streak in NBA history. The game was delayed 35 minutes at the start because the arena’s giant scoreboard leaked fluid.

“This was one of the most bizarre, unique days of my life with everything that happened,” James said afterward.

3 things that worked

1 2 3

Throwing the ball: You’ve got to take what the defense gives you, and that’s what Jay Cutler did, throwing it with a lot of confidence against a young and shaky Jets secondary that was without Dee Milliner.

First-half run ‘D’: With all the talk about Chris Ivory and Chris Johnson, the Bears’ front seven stood its ground, holding the duo to 11 carries for 23 yards before halftime.

Taking the ball away: The Bears forced three Jets turnovers, with the first two leading to 14 points in the first quarter.

3 that didn’t

1

Running the ball: It came as no surprise, but the Bears couldn’t muster much in the run game against a stout Jets front and the league’s best rushing defense. Matt Forte had three carries for -7 yards in the first quarter, and Jay Cutler’s 16-yard run was the longest rush of the game.

2

Avoiding costly penalties: The Bears had some bad penalties on Monday night – Lamarr Houston’s unsportsmanlike conduct on a Jets touchdown drive, Michael Ola’s hands to the face that wiped out a Brandon Marshall score, Christian Jones’ block in the back on a long Santonio Holmes punt return and – even though it was an iffy call – Danny McCray’s late hit on the Jets’ first TD. The newest Bear, Terrell Manning, gave the Jets 15 extra yards with a personal foul on a fair catch.

3

Covering Kerley: Eric Decker was a nonfactor, aside from one big catch, and he left the game with a hamstring injury, but Jeremy Kerley made big plays, a few times on Bears nickel Isaiah Frey, who was thrust back into his 2013 role because of injuries. Kerley finished with seven catches for 81 yards and one touchdown on 11 targets.

Bears quarterback Jay Cutler throws under pressure from the New York Jets in the first quarter Monday in East Rutherford, N.J.

Risking not taking advantage of a fumble recovery on special teams, the Bears had third-and-goal in the first quarter, when Cutler threw an absolute bullet to Martellus Bennett for a touchdown to go up 14-0.

The Jets had great field position following Manning’s penalty on a punt in the third quarter and faced thirdand-goal from the Bears’ 2-yard line. Marty Mornhinweg called a quarterback draw, and while it worked for 11 yards a few plays earlier, it got stuffed, forcing the Jets to settle for a field goal.

3

When the Bears had a third-and-9 from their own 42-yard line in the fourth quarter, the Jets brought their patented zero-blitz, rushing the house against Cutler, who lofted a ball up that Alshon Jeffery leapt and highpointed for the first down. Robbie Gould converted a field goal, and that catch allowed the Bears to take 4:37 more off the clock.

What now?

Record: 2-1 What it means: The Bears escape MetLife Stadium with a key road victory, improving Marc Trestman’s primetime record to 6-1.

What’s next?

Will the Bears be 0-2 at Soldier Field or will they hand the Packers a 1-3 record to start the season? It’s Aaron Rodgers and company in Chicago for the first time since last year’s knockout punch from Rodgers and Randall Cobb to win the NFC North.

Schemes test Trestman, Cutler

By ADAM JAHNS ajahns@suntimes.com EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Bears coach Marc Trestman didn’t want to make out Monday night’s game against Rex Ryan’s New York Jets as a match of renowned wits.

“I don’t look at it like my X against his O,” Trestman had said.

But it was.

There was no denying that the Jets’ defense posed certain challenges, ones that the Bears freely admitted were of the difficult, confusing-causing variety throughout their preparation.

The Jets, with their bevy of looks and blitzes, were a particularly a good early gauge for the Cutler-Trestman combo, which became more complicated after receiver Brandon Marshall missed part of the game with an injured right ankle.

Checks and calls would take time at the line of scrimmage, especially with hostile blitzes coming in the hostile conditions of Met Life Stadium, where noise would cause communications problems.

“We have to be able to account for the rushers that they have,” Trestman said before the game.

“We have protection rules when it comes to the passing game and we also have to deal with those odd fronts, those blitz fronts in the running game

as well.

“So it’s just part of the process of matching up and having answers to plays when they give you adjustments that you may not be prepared for in a sense that it may be different than the week before.”

And a lot of that would be on Cutler, Trestman’s acclaimed pupil, at the line.

There was confusion early Monday. A timeout was called on their first possession as Cutler tried to get receiver Santonio Holmes in the right place and with extra lineman Eben Britton on for the play.

“Various is a good word,” Cutler said this past week of Jets’ defensive looks. “There’s a lot of them. They’re all over the place. So you get a ton of looks.”

It was clear in the first half that the “ton of looks” would be tough for Cutler and Co., especially with their rushing game stalled again. Cutler had a 109.7 passer rating in the first quarter, but finished the first half with 79.4 mark.

Halftime adjustments?

Cutler was 5 for 5 on the first drive of the third quarter, going 80 yards for a touchdown in just a matter of minutes. He had a touchdown pass to Marshall waved off because of a penalty. But he

later found tight end Martellus Bennett for a 13yard score.

It was Cutler’s second strike to Bennett. Cutler turned Jets returner Jalen Saunders’ muffed punt and cornerback Darren Walls’ pass interference into a seven-yard touchdown pass to Bennett in the first quarter.

Cutler’s athleticism also was on full display because it had to be. The Jets, namely defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson, were after him.

Cutler ran for 17 yards in the first half and his Houdini skills stood out on his first touchdown pass to Bennett. But Cutler also was sacked on an all-out blitz and fumbled, violently ending a key drive for the Bears in the final minutes of the first half.

It was the third week the Bears faced a defense spurred on by a potent front.

The Buffalo Bills and San Francisco 49ers were good, but the Jets might be the best so far at this point in the season.

And there’s definitely a nastiness to them. Richardson hit Cutler late on his first-quarter touchdown throw to Bennett for a roughing-the-passer penalty.

“Their front seven,” Cutler said before the game, “I hope we don’t see one better than them.”

Bears overcome several more injuries to earn tough road victory • ARKUSH Continued from page C1 Among the assorted gifts the Jets gave the Bears Monday night, certainly the greatest was keeping Geno Smith on the field and Mike Vick on the sidelines. If the Bears had been asked to deal with Vick, the game almost certainly would have gone differently.

Jay Cutler did not play his best game against the Jets, but the difference between Cutler and Smith was similar to

the gap between a fine single malt scotch and Ripple.

That, however, is Rex Ryan’s and the Jets’ problem.

And perhaps none of that is relevant to the real story of these Bears through the first three games.

By the fourth quarter Monday night Garza, Slauson, Jeremiah Ratliff, Shea McClellin, Charles Tillman, Chris Conte, Ryan Mundy and Danny McCray were all on the sideline.

None of them besides Tillman are All Pros or even stars, but they are all key

starters on these 2014 Bears, and those five starters on defense who were out injured were supposed to be part of the answer.

This team has shown remarkable character and a great understanding of the next man up mantra in today’s NFL. With half of its starting lineup on defense out injured, they held the 49ers on a desperation drive to win the game, and then did just enough in New York to get the job done again.

Perhaps they don’t win the game without the generosity of the Jets’ Smith, but

that’s really not the point.

If you’re looked around the league lately, you’ll find there are no perfect teams in the NFL these days. The only undefeated teams left are Philadelphia, Cincinnati and Arizona. Do they each have issues?

You bet they do.

The question isn’t how good the Bears are right now. It’s how good can they be in nine or 10 weeks and can they win enough games along the way to be relevant when they get there?

Right now, we have no idea how good these Bears are or if they can play with a

good team, an NFL playoff team, because after three weeks of the season there aren’t any.

What we do know is they don’t quit, they don’t make excuses and they don’t back down.

In spite of all the injuries, they beat the Jets because they made more plays and now they’re 2-1.

We’ll worry about style points later.

IT’S ALL ABOUT DRIVE ��� ���� ��� ��� ������

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The Bears are living and dying by the turnover, and they are now 2-1 because of it after a 27-19 win over the Jets on Monday night at MetLife Stadium.

For the second week in a row against a young, mobile quarterback, the Bears were able to create crucial turnovers to take points away from the opponent, and create opportunities for their offense.

It began on the second play of the game, when Ryan Mundy returned an interception 45 yards for a touchdown, the first interception for a touchdown of his career. The Bears scored again less than five minutes later, when Ahmad Dixon recovered a Jalen Saunders fumble on a punt, setting up a Martellus Bennett touchdown.

When the Jets were in the red zone in the third quarter, Smith forced a bad pass to the endzone, where rookie Kyle Fuller got his third pick in two weeks, keeping the Jets off the board.

With an inability to run the ball against the Jets’ defensive line, the Bears needed any extra help they could get from an undermanned defense that was already without Jeremiah Ratliff, and then lost both starters at safety.

While the ‘D’ still hasn’t completely turned things around, its opportunistic ways were key on Monday night.

Fast start: In the first two games of the season, the Bears were outscored 34-14 combined in the first half. On Monday night, they finally jumped

The Jets got back into it in the second quarter, but the Bears still had the 17-13 halftime lead.

MASH unit: A recurring theme through three games.

Brandon Marshall missed most of the second quarter after reinjuring his ankle. Tony Fiammetta left the game and did not return after reinjuring his hamstring. Chris Conte and Ryan Mundy left the game with shoulder injuries in the third quarter, and neither returned. Conte’s durability is an issue, as the shoulder he had surgery on in the offseason does not appear to be 100 percent. Brock Vereen had another game with lots of key snaps late, and he was in coverage on Jeremy Kerley on the final play.

Last-minute help: With the Bears getting healthy at wide receiver, they didn’t need the services of Josh Bellamy, who

was waived. Replacing Bellamy was linebacker Terrell Manning, who was activated from the practice squad. Manning played special teams for the Packers in 2012, including both playoff games, and he spent time with the Chargers in 2013.

Manning was active, and to add help on special teams for Sherrick McManis (quad) and Trevor Scott (foot), and depth at linebacker for Shea McClellin (hand), linebacker Khaseem Greene, was active for the first time this season and a core special teams player. Fiammetta, who battled a hamstring injury the first two weeks of the season, was active and seeing a fair amount of snaps before reaggravating the injury.

Monday’s captains: For the first time this season in the rotation of captains, quarterback Jay Cutler was one of the Bears’ game captains. Cutler, linebacker Lance Briggs and safety/special teamer Danny McCray handled captain duties.

No drop-off in Marshall’s game • MORRISSEY Continued from page C1 You can see where this might lead: First the receiver doesn’t care about the game, and the next thing you know, the quarterback wants Wednesdays and Thursdays off.

There is at least one thing at work here that mitigates any concerns the Bears might have about Marshall’s commitment: He’s well on his way to making the Hall of Fame, with no drop-off in sight in his production.

He has had at least 1,000 receiving yards in each of the past seven seasons. In five of those seasons, he had at least 100 catches. He’s not Jerry Rice, but he easily is in the same league as Hall of Famers Cris Carter and Andre Reed.

Going into Monday night’s matchup against the New York Jets, he had 13 catches for 119 yards and four touchdowns in two games. He left the game in the second quarter Monday after re-injuring his right ankle, then returned.

We’ll find out if his weekly commitment to Showtime’s “Inside the NFL” ends up being a distraction. But Marshall has managed to be productive on the field no matter what was going on with him off the field, good or bad.

Trestman, for one, said he’s not worried that Marshall’s crusade to spread mentalhealth awareness will take away from the receiver’s day job.

“All I can tell you is what I’ve seen from Brandon,” the Bears coach said. “He’s got an amazing ability to focus. Last week, he spent a week in the training room by himself. He was injured, had to learn the game plan. He came out and performed at a very high level against the circumstances. He’s a very, very unique young man. I expect that he’ll be prepared and

2 , 500 50 00

ready to go (Monday night).”

Trestman was referring to the three touchdown receptions Marshall had against the 49ers, despite having been on the injury list all week with the ankle issue. One of those catches, a leaping, one-handed grab of a Jay Cutler pass, found its way into many highlight packages.

If he couldn’t care less about football, he sure has a funny way of showing it.

The Bears have no choice but to trust that Marshall is a changed man from earlier in his career, when he had a series of muchpublicized off-field problems. They have a lot invested in him, both financially and in terms of Trestman’s offense. But trust or hope, it’s really all the same thing. He said he has turned his life around since he was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder in 2011.

Before the Bears traded for him two years ago, they did their due diligence and concluded that the possible rewards outweighed the possible risks. They have been right so far.

Will they be going forward? I have no earthly idea. This is the NFL: You can trust Marshall as far as you can throw him, but you continue to throw to him. Talent almost always wins out.

When Cutler needs a play, he looks to Marshall, sometimes to distraction. He trusts him.

That’s what this is all about with Marshall: trust. He can say football isn’t his priority and get away with it. Why? Because the Bears trust he’ll still be great anyway. In a bottomline business, that’s the only thing that matters.

8 ADVICE & PUZZLES • Tuesday, September 23, 2014 • Section B • Daily Chronicle / Daily-Chronicle.com

Mother battles fears while raising daughter Dear Abby: I had an awful childhood. After I was finally taken into state custody, I cycled through six different foster homes. Because of it I have struggled with mental health issues for as long as I can remember.

I’m 28 now and have a 4-year-old daughter who is everything to me. The problem is, I’m terrified of strangers.

As a child I saw firsthand how evil people can be, and I am almost paralyzed with fear because of my hyper-vigilance. I fight the battle every day.

I am in counseling and I’m trying, but I am afraid I am going to make my daughter fear the world. She’s in Head Start and loves it. Anyone who meets her comments on how happy and outgoing she

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips is, but I don’t know how to walk the tightrope between keeping her safe and making her afraid. Any advice would be appreciated. – Terrified of Strangers Dear Terrified: Considering your past, I think you’re being a wonderful mother. You are getting professional help and for that I applaud you.

You are realistic about your issues, and your daughter appears to be thriving.

You may need counseling for some time to avoid becoming overprotective and to allow your daughter to devel-

op into a healthy adult. While your fears are the result of your history, they do not have to become a part of hers.

Dear Abby: As I was going through my gallery of pictures in my cellphone, I stumbled upon some naked pictures of my ex-boyfriend.

What should I do with them?

– Say “Cheese” Dear “Cheese”: Do the same thing with them that you would hope he did with the naked pictures he has of you.

Dear Abby: I grew up in the lap of luxury at a private country club in the East. My father was the golf pro. In my teens I noticed that these wealthy people always introduced one acquaintance to another whenever they met for a chat. I also noticed that my lower-income

friends and family never did.

After moving across the country to the West Coast as an adult, I have noticed that nobody – rich or poor – seems to go out of their way to introduce a new face to others in the room. What would you say accounts for this? – Donna in Las Vegas Dear Donna: A person can’t do what he or she hasn’t been taught. During the 1960s, many parents stopped teaching their children social refinements like the one you describe. The result has been a lack of sensitivity in social interactions, and it is evident in more ways than this one.

Dear Abby: A few weeks ago I began using a name other than my given name.

It’s one I made up and used

during pretend games when I was a child, so it’s personally significant.

A friend recently told me that because it is a common Japanese name, it is culturally inappropriate for me to use it because I am not Asian. It is also a name in Hebrew, German and Ancient Egyptian, as I recently learned. Is it wrong for me to use the name? – The New “Me” in Colorado Dear New “Me”: No, it’s not.

You can call yourself any name you wish. Many parents have given their child a name from another culture because they liked the sound of it, and you don’t have to make any apologies for changing yours.

Women at high risk should have yearly MRI Dear Dr. K: I’m at high risk for breast cancer. Should I have screening mammograms, MRIs or both?

Dear Reader: Many factors can put a woman at high risk for breast cancer. The most common and important are these: (1) inheriting certain high-risk genes from one of your parents; (2) having a parent, sibling or child with breast cancer; and (3) having received radiation treatment to the chest (usually for some type of cancer) before age 30.

Some women at high risk for breast cancer – Angelina Jolie is a very public example – choose to have both breasts surgically removed. For women at high risk, this choice offers the best prevention.

ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff However, most women at high risk opt for a less drastic option: regular screening tests to detect early breast cancer. That’s the easy part of the answer to your question: Nearly every expert would agree that women at high risk for breast cancer should have regular screening tests.

The harder part of the answer is to decide which screening tests should be ordered, and how often they should be done. That’s because there isn’t a lot of evidence comparing the various screening tests,

and also because the technology used to perform screening is improving over time. So an answer that’s right today may not be right a year from now.

I think it is reasonable for high-risk women to get yearly magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exams starting by age 30. Based on today’s technology, there’s little question that MRI is better than mammograms for screening high-risk women. Yearly mammograms are optional.

MRI uses magnetic fields to create an image of the breast, providing more detail than mammograms. And it detects small cancers that mammograms can miss.

What’s more, mammograms expose women to a

small amount of radiation. So, is there any reason for highrisk women to have a mammogram in addition to an MRI? A recent study helps answer that question. It included 2,207 high-risk women, ages 30 to 69. All were screened with digital mammograms and breast MRI scans.

The results were as expected. In the first year, the screening found 35 breast cancers.

Of those, MRI detected all 35.

Mammograms found only 12.

No cancers were detected by mammogram but not by MRI. Does this mean mammograms are unwarranted?

It’s not that simple. Breast MRIs show many more false positives than mammograms.

False positives are spots that

could be cancers. But after further testing (usually an invasive biopsy), they are found not to be cancers.

Many breast cancer specialists recommend that women at high risk for breast cancer and who have an abnormal result on the MRI should then get a mammogram. If the mammogram is normal, then they assume the MRI result was falsely positive and spare the woman a biopsy.

If you are at high risk for breast cancer, have a breast MRI every year. You and your doctor can decide if you should also have a yearly mammogram.

Marriage wouldn’t be a wise move at this time Dr. Wallace: I’m 19, unwed, and have a 2-year-old son. A guy I knew three years ago has been contacting me for the last six months. I haven’t seen him in two years, but he says he wants to marry me and adopt my son.

He said he had an alcohol problem, but is now getting help and will soon be over his drinking. He says he loves me, and I believe him.

He asked for an answer on his proposal of marriage, but I don’t know what to say. If I can’t say yes, I’m afraid I will lose him, and I don’t want that. Help! – Unsure, Bakersfield, California Unsure: Telling him that you accept his proposal

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace wouldn’t be wise at this time.

You haven’t seen this guy for two years and you’re remembering him as he once was.

Let him know you’re interested and that you would like to start seeing him soon.

After you do so, you’ll have a much better idea whether he would make a good husband and father.

I realize that it must be extremely difficult to be 19 and an unmarried mother, and probably many times you feel overwhelmed, but

ASTROGRAPH

that’s no reason to leap blindly into marriage. If the marriage fails, believe me, you, and your child, will suffer much more than if you had remained single.

The cornerstone of a successful marriage is mutual love. You won’t know if you love this guy, or if he really loves you, until you get to know him. If he’s truly the right guy, the best way for him to prove it is by showing patience with you now.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 18 and a first-year student at the University of Minnesota. The fellow I’m dating is in his second year at the U of M. We have been seeing each other since school started last Sep-

CROSSWORD

Balanced or unbalanced?

Fran Lebowitz said, “Food is an important part of a balanced diet.”

This week we are looking at deals in which North and South have to decide which of two suits to choose as trumps.

In general, a balanced fit – one where North and South have the same number of cards in the suit – will be preferable to an unbalanced fit – in which one player has more cards than his partner.

In this deal, if the balanced diamond suit is trumps, declarer can arrange an extra ruffing trick after drawing trumps and discarding the spade eight from the dummy on his fifth club. In seven diamonds, South takes one spade, five diamonds, six clubs and one spade ruff in the North hand.

If the unbalanced suit is trumps, (here the 6-4 club fit), there is an inevitable spade loser. South can win only 12 tricks, not 13.

The auction itself was exciting. South opened one club, planning to bid diamonds twice to describe his distribution and strength. If West had immediately overcalled four hearts, it would have made life very tough for North-South. North could have bid five diamonds, but East would have increased the inconvenience by raising to five hearts.

In the actual sequence, once South knew about the double fit, he control-bid (cuebid) five hearts to suggest a grand slam. And when North was happy to control-bid five spades, South jumped to seven diamonds.
