By JILLIAN DUCHNOWSKI jduchnowski@shawmedia.com DeKALB – The man behind the widely viewed video of a police officer losing his temper at a police safety checkpoint last weekend is 27-year-old DeKalb resident Ryan S. Taylor.

The video spread like wildfire once it was posted online Sunday.

It was posted to Reddit, embedded in numerous websites, and viewed on YouTube more than 120,000 times through Monday.

It prompted DeKalb police to clarify on their Facebook page that their officers were not depicted in the video; DeKalb City Attorney Dean Frieders repeated that clarification at Monday’s City Council meeting.

Taylor was a guest Wednesday morning on a Springfield talk radio show appearing as “Ryan Scott,” and by Wednesday afternoon, the number of YouTube views surpassed 540,000.

Genoa Elementary students who live in the Oak Creek subdivision in Genoa step off the bus Wednesday at the stop on the southeast corner of the intersection of Walnut Street and South Oak Creek Drive. A sign was recently installed below the stop sign at Walnut Street and North Oak Creek Drive denoting a bus stop.

The sign is within 100 feet of sex offender Alan Luke’s residence on North Oak Creek Drive. BELOW: Oak Creek subdivision resident Justin Northrup walks his fourth-grade daughter home from the bus stop Wednesday after school at Genoa Elementary.

Parents on alert after sex offender moves near school bus stop Voice your opinion

By ANDREA AZZO aazzo@shawmedia.com GENOA – Some Genoa parents are concerned after the school district decided to keep a bus stop near where a sex offender lives, while also offering a new stop about a block away.

Justin Northrup was waiting Wednesday for his daughter, a fourth-grader at Genoa Elementary School, at the original bus stop.

He said knowing a sex offender lives within 100 feet of the bus stop gives him that much more reason to be there.

“You’re just kind of extra ... you just want to be careful,” he said.

DeKalb’s assistant city manager leaving for new job Espiritu says his last day will be Oct. 3

By KATIE DAHLSTROM kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Assistant City Manager Rudy Espiritu is leaving DeKalb for a similar job in Highland Park that will get him closer to his ideal job as a city manager.

Espiritu, who has worked in DeKalb for more than seven years, announced this week his last day will be Oct. 3. He said he’d been mulling a career change since December when DeKalb aldermen hired City Manager Anne Marie Gaura.

“My ultimate goal is to become a city manger some day,” said Espiritu, who was one of five finalists for DeKalb’s city manager position.

“Once they hired Anne Marie, I had to reassess. If I’m not going to be a

Espiritu, 37, officially accepted the position of deputy city manag-

Espiritu’s announcement did not surprise Gaura, who said Espiritu informed her about his progress through the Highland Park interview process. She praised Espiritu on Wednesday for his work handling human resources, finance and in-

TODAY’S TALKER

Drones left out of air traffic plans WASHINGTON – Designers of the ambitious U.S. air traffic control system of the future neglected to take drones into account, raising questions about whether it can handle the escalating demand for the unmanned aircraft and predicted congestion in the sky.

“We didn’t understand the magnitude to which [drones] would be an oncoming tidal wave, something that must be dealt with, and quickly,” said Ed Bolton, the Federal Aviation Administration’s assistant administrator for NextGen, as the program is called.

Congress passed legislation creating NextGen in 2003, and directed the agency to accommodate all types of aircraft, including drones.

The program, which is not expected to be completed for at least another decade, is replacing radar and radio communications, technologies rooted in the early 20th century, with satellite-based navigation and digital communications.

The FAA has spent more than $5 billion on the complex program and is nearly finished installing hardware and

software for several key systems. But the further it progresses, the more difficult it becomes to make changes.

Government and industry officials have long maintained that drones must meet the same rules that apply to manned aircraft if they are to share the sky.

That is changing, however, said Chris Stephenson, who represents the National Air Traffic Controllers Association on several U.S. and international unmanned aircraft committees.

“It’s becoming painfully apparent that in order to get [drones] in there, there is going to have to be a fair amount of accommodation, at least in the beginning,” he said.

Michael Whitaker, the FAA’s deputy administrator, acknowledged that drones “weren’t really part of the equation when you go back to the origin of NextGen.” The NextGen plans for the next five years do not address how drones will fit into a system designed for planes with pilots on board, but the agency will have to consider whether to do that, Whitaker told a recent meeting of the NextGen Institute, a nonprofit association spon-

sored by the FAA so that industry can assist with research.

Most of the initial demand to fly unmanned aircraft came from the departments of Defense and Homeland Security, which wanted to test military drones or use them to monitor U.S. borders.

Later, interest began to build around potential uses for smaller drones, especially by police departments, but also for those wanting to spray crops, monitor pipelines and inspect offshore oil platforms. These drones can weigh anywhere from a few pounds to several hundred.

More recently, commercial demand has soared – from wedding videographers and real estate agents to Amazon and Google, eyeing potential package deliveries. The FAA bans commercial drone operations with a few, limited exceptions. That ban, however, is undermined almost daily by frustrated small drone operators.

FAA officials are under pressure from Congress and industry to loosen restrictions on smaller drones. The agency is expected to propose safety rules in November for businesses that want to operate them.

Data on violence tells complex story

facebook.com/ dailychronicle

The ASSOCIATED PRESS

@dailychronicle

For weeks, amid allegations involving several NFL players, domestic violence has been the focus of intense national attention. Does the turmoil reflect a worsening epidemic of domestic violence, or has the U.S. in fact made great strides to curtail it? The answer is complicated.

On one hand, domestic violence committed by intimate partners – current or former spouses, boyfriends or girlfriends – has declined by more than 60 percent since the mid-1990s, according to Justice Department figures.

Yet the dramatic decrease from 1995 through 2004 has largely stalled, with the numbers stabilizing at a level that appalls people in the prevention field. The latest federal figures for “serious” intimate partner violence – sexual assault or aggravated physical assault – showed 360,820 such incidents in 2013, or roughly 1,000 a day.

Meanwhile, many organizations that serve the victims are struggling to meet rising demand, particularly in the past few weeks since a graphic video surfaced of suspended Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice knocking his future wife unconscious in a casino elevator. Shelters are turning away victims for lack of beds and staff; the National Domestic Violence Hotline could handle barely half of the 8,500 calls that came during the eight days after the Rice video appeared.

“Statistically, are we improving?” asked the hotline’s president, Katie RayJones. “From a service standpoint, it doesn’t feel like it.”

The sharp decline in domestic violence began soon after the 1994 enactment of the federal Violence Against Women Act, which toughened penalties for offenders, expanded training for law enforcement and improved services for victims.

However, that drop in domestic violence coincided with a comparable drop in virtually all types of violent crime.

“Sierra,” a victim of domestic violence, sits at a safe house in August 2010 in Nevada County, Calif. The dramatic decrease in domestic violence committed by intimate partners from 1995 through 2004 has largely stalled, with the numbers stabilizing at a level that appalls people in the prevention field. The latest federal figures for “serious” intimate partner violence showed 360,820 such incidents in 2013, or roughly 1,000 a day. at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, said there’s been no authoritative research to gauge the role of the federal act in curtailing domestic violence.

Kim Gandy, a former prosecutor who now heads the National Network to End Domestic Violence, said most law enforcement agencies have vastly improved their handling of domestic violence over the past 20 years, while public attitudes and understanding have lagged behind. She hopes awareness will increase as the NFL cases spark a national conversation on domestic violence that she described as unprecedented.

“People who never talked about it before are talking about it now, saying it happened in my family,” Gandy said.

“It’s an opportunity to begin removing the stigma from domestic violence, so victims will feel more free to tell their stories.”

Clearly, there’s been a ripple effect.

As debate arose over whether Rice’s fiancee, Janay Palmer, should have married him after being slugged, thousands of women took to Twitter, under the hashtags #WhyIStayed and #WhyILeft, to share their own stories reflecting the sometimes difficult choice of whether or not to leave an abusive partner.

“I stayed because my pastor told me that God hates divorce. It didn’t cross my mind that God might hate abuse, too,” tweeted writer Beverly Gooden on Sept. 8 as she called on her followers to join her in breaking the silence.

Even as awareness increases, there’s concern as to whether prevention and support programs have adequate resources to meet demand. In many cases, advocates say they don’t, due to a tightening of funding from various levels of government and from charitable donors.

Renewable energy plan hinges on huge Utah caverns The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHEYENNE, Wyo. – A proposal to export twice as much Wyoming wind power to Los Angeles as the amount of electricity generated by the Hoover Dam includes an engineering feat even more massive than that famous structure: Four chambers, each almost the size of the Empire State Building, would be carved from an underground salt deposit to hold huge volumes of compressed air.

The caverns in central Utah would serve as a kind of massive battery on a scale never before seen, helping to overcome the fact that – even in Wyoming – wind doesn’t blow all the time.

Air would be pumped into the caverns when power demand is low and wind is high, typically at night. During times of increased demand, the compressed air would be released to drive turbines and feed power to markets in faraway Southern California.

It’s a relatively simple concept proven decades ago on a much smaller scale by utilities in Alabama and Germany.

Yet, experts said Wednesday there’s a reason similar projects don’t exist elsewhere: The technology known as “compressed air energy storage” is expensive, particularly when stacked against other power sources such as cheap, natural gas.

“Stored energy technically is wonderful stuff. But it’s pri-

marily the capital costs that get you,” said Brendan Kirby, a private consultant and former senior researcher at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. “If it made a lot of economic sense, you’d be seeing these projects duplicated.”

Still, Kirby and other experts added that the concept holds great promise for broader application as expenses drop, wind power capacity expands and West Coast utilities look to Rocky Mountain states to supply more electricity.

It also could help rebut renewable energy skeptics who point to the variability of wind power as reason enough to stick with fossil fuels.

In this case, the electricity would originate with a 2,100-megawatt wind farm near Chugwater, a southeast Wyoming town of about 200 people 140 miles north of Denver.

High-voltage lines would send the electricity to the compressed-air site 10 miles north of Delta, Utah.

LOCAL BRIEFS

Construction of the DeKalb Public Library expansion continues Wednesday at 321 Oak St. The $24 million expansion will increase the size of the library from 19,500 square feet to 46,000 square feet.

Library expansion on schedule DeKalb should have new facility in place in 2016

By KATIE DAHLSTROM kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com DeKALB – DeKalb Public Library Director Dee Coover thinks the view from her office window beats the view from any others.

Outside her window, excavators move dirt, workers in hard hats hustle about and old pipes meet their last days.

While not the most aesthetically pleasing sight to some, for Coover the scene reminds her the $24 million library expansion is actually happening.

“I’m totally in awe of these people doing problem-solving and working together,” Coover said.

Since breaking ground in July, construction crews have been working to clear the space for the 46,000-squarefoot addition at 321 Oak St. Residents will start to see the shape of an actual building by winter when structural steel goes up.

A few months in, the project is on schedule and on budget, Graham Harwood, who works for a consulting firm representing the library, said.

But the biggest pieces of the project, about $12 million in electrical, plumbing, mechanical, and information technology work, are about to go out for bid. Officials will have bids in hand by October.

Crews will pour the concrete base for the expansion before winter. Steel will appear in November and pre-cast wall panels will go up shortly after, said Eric Penney, a principal with architectural firm Nagle Hartray.

“Things will really start to speed up once we get the utilities in,” Penney said.

Construction on the new building should wrap up in early 2016, which is when crews will start to renovate the existing 19,500-squarefoot building. This will be the first time lead architect Hannah Prevedel has worked on a project that will incorporate a new building with an existing building.

“Bringing it back to the original glory will be very exciting,” Prevedel said.

Crews have already built a ramp leading to the children’s entrance, but staff will have to shuffle some more by next year. Library staff will have to clear out of the building’s back offices, moving to either the reference area on the second floor or into offices the First United Methodist Church offered.

Moving isn’t a hassle for Teresa Iversen, the head of the reference department and a 12-year library employee. She said she’s more excited and relieved that patrons will have more space than bothered by an inconveniences construction causes.

“I think I speak for the rest of the staff when I say we don’t mind any noise and unsettlement,” Iversen said. “We know it’s for a good purpose.”

Attorneys recommended for associate judge spots

Sycamore plans to test new Code Red system

DeKALB – Several local attorneys have been recommended to fill two vacancies as associate judges for the 23rd Judicial Circuit, which serves DeKalb and Kendall counties.

The test will measure how quickly notifications can be delivered and will validate the telephone numbers entered in the database, according to a city of Sycamore news release.

The test will send verbal messages to all registered landlines and cellphones, as well as a message for those registered for text messages and emails.

Before then, Sycamore Fire Chief Pete Polarek encourages local residents and workers to enroll in the system and specify their notification preferences on the Code Red enrollment page at www.cityofsycamore.com.

They also are encouraged to download the Code Red Mobile Alert smartphone application.

Those without Internet access may use the computer labs at the Sycamore Public Library, 103 E. State St. in Sycamore.

Illinois ranks among top in U.S. for campaign ad spending The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – If it seems as though the number of political ads on television has ramped up markedly this election, now there’s concrete proof.

Fueled by a neck-and-neck contest for governor including a wealthy Republican candidate with money to burn, Illinois has seen a roughly 30 percent increase in the number of TV ads and the money spent to air them this election cycle compared to four years ago, according to an analysis by the nonpartisan Center for Public Integrity.

The review released Wednesday found candidates for Illinois offices spent more than $26.4 million to air an estimated 34,589 ads between Jan. 1, 2013, and Sept. 8 of this year. That’s up from about $20.5 million for an estimated 26,554 ads during roughly the same time period in 2010, the last year Illinois elected a governor and other statewide office holders.

The analysis includes only the cost of TV airtime – not expenses associated with pro-

ducing the ads. It doesn’t include spending for local cable TV advertising, or for radio or the internet, so the total spending on political ads can be significantly higher.

The increase comes even as spending nationwide decreased by about 45 percent compared with 2010. That year, more than half of the spending on TV ads occurred between mid-September and Election Day – a sign that in Illinois, the air wars could just be getting started.

Here are a few things to know about how the spending breaks down:

$14.5M VERSUS $5.7M: Bruce Rauner, the wealthy GOP businessman trying to unseat Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn, far and away leads the pack in spending.

His campaign has spent an estimated $14.5 million, compared to roughly $5.7 million

by Quinn and a fraction of that by Rauner’s three GOP primary opponents. Quinn’s spending is considerably lower because he didn’t have a serious primary challenger.

Rauner, who’s making his first bid for public office, had

to spend millions just to introduce himself to voters and make it to the general election. The totals also include spending by outside groups, such as labor unions, which have run ads targeting Rauner. $2.94 PER VOTER: Only three states have seen more spending than Illinois: Pennsylvania, Texas and Florida – all of which topped $33 million.

Illinois’ spending is estimated at $2.94 per eligible voter – an amount that trailed only Pennsylvania and the less-populated states of Rhode Island, Maryland and Nebraska.

GOING NEGATIVE? There have been plenty of shadowy images and doom-filled voices in Illinois ads, but it hasn’t been all negative.

The review classified about 58.9 percent of Rauner’s ads as “mixed” – meaning they featured nice words about himself along with attacks on Quinn – while about 13.6 percent were strictly negative against Quinn or Rauner’s primary opponents.

About 27.5 percent were positive Rauner ads.

Obama at U.N.: Dismantle the IS ‘network of death’ The ASSOCIATED PRESS

Teaching plane crash lessons

Tips for surviving an airplane crash

The Associated Press

STATE BRIEF Corrections pledges to investigate man’s escape SPRINGFIELD – Illinois Department of Corrections officials Wednesday called an inmate’s escape from a southern Illinois prison “unacceptable” and pledged to review the area’s physical surroundings to prevent similar incidents.

However, at the same time, IDOC spokesman Tom Shaer said there was “no systemic issue” Marcus regarding atBattice tempted escapes at prisons, noting this was the first incident the department had seen in over a year.

Illinois State Police on Wednesday morning took 21-year-old Marcus Battice into custody, after finding him walking north on a gravel frontage road next to Interstate 70, Shaer said.

Battice got over the fence at the Vandalia facility about 2 p.m. on Tuesday. Search dogs were deployed in the search as well as staff from other state prisons.

• During the safety demonstration, count the number of rows to the nearest exit. Then count the number of rows to the second nearest exit, remembering that it might be behind you.

• Next, practice putting on and taking off your seatbelt to build muscle memory. Check where your life vest is and touch it.

• Learn the proper brace position: Bend forward as far as possible, keep your head down. Place your feet flat on the floor and slide them back. Your dominant hand goes on the back of your head. Protect that hand by placing the other hand over it. Do not interlock fingers.

The goal is to ensure that the bones in the stronger hand aren’t broken so you can eventually unbuckle the seatbelt.

• Red lights always signal an exit because the color cuts through smoke the best.

• Once an evacuation order is given, seconds count. Move quickly to the nearest exit and jump down a slide. If you hesitate, the flight attendants will push you out.

• Always inflate life vests outside the plane. They can limit mobility. Or, if water fills the cabin, passengers with inflated vests can be pressed up against the ceiling, unable to swim down to the door.

Started as a training exercise for oil company employees who routinely flew to remote locations, the course is now open to frequent fliers willing to pay $265, although most participants are still sent by their companies. There are up to three classes a week.

The class begins inside a Boeing 737 cabin simulator.

Seats are selected. Seatbelts are buckled. The safety demonstration begins. Just like on a real flight, nobody pays attention – and these are passengers who know there is going to be a crash. The simulator rocks

Judge says businesses will not have to return BP spill payouts The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW ORLEANS – BP wants its money back – hundreds of millions of dollars of it – but a federal judge said Wednesday that the oil giant must stand by the agreement it made with the companies it compensated for losses blamed on the 2010 Gulf oil spill.

BP argued that a flawed funding formula enabled nearly 800 businesses to overestimate their spill-related claims.

One construction company hundreds of miles from the coast received $13.2 million, but deserved $4.8 million at most, BP said.

Another company selling “animals and animal skins” was overpaid about $14 million, and about 50 others shouldn’t have been paid at all, the company said.

About 150 claimants should return a total of $185 million, and overpayments to the rest haven’t been calcu-

lated, attorney Kevin Downey argued.

U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier was not persuaded, thwarting BP’s latest attempt to control potential liabilities now approaching $50 billion.

The judge agreed weeks ago to change the compensation formula for any future payments, but ruled Wednesday that a deal is a deal when it comes to the money BP has already paid out.

Under that deal, claimants agreed not to sue, and BP agreed that no future court action could change their payments.

“BP disagrees with today’s decision and will appeal it,” company spokesman Geoff Morrell said. “We asked the Court, as a matter of equity and fairness, to order the return of excessive payments.”

Barbier said he would rule later on the issue of compensation for cleanup workers whose chronic medical problems weren’t diagnosed until after the deal’s cutoff date

of April 16, 2012. The settlement entitled cleanup workers with chronic conditions including rashes and breathing problems to receive up to $60,700 if the problems first surfaced within days of their cleanup work.

BP is still facing a financial nightmare from the nation’s worst oil disaster, which began with an explosion that tore open the oil company’s Macondo well on the floor of the Gulf of Mexico, destroying the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig and killing 11 workers.

As the spill defied containment efforts for nearly three months, fouling seafood grounds, coastal marshes and beaches, BP sought to restore its image and limit its liability by promising to compensate the victims.

Trying to force businesses to return that compensation could cost the London-based company some goodwill, but BP is under more financial pressure now.

LONDON – They raced down the slide, one by one, like children on a playground. At the bottom, smartphone photos were snapped and high fives exchanged.

The frequent fliers were all smiling and laughing – and quietly hoping to never use an evacuation slide again. Doing so would mean their plane had just crashed.

The slide demonstration was part of a half-day safety course that encourages passengers to be aware of their surroundings and familiarize themselves with what happens in an emergency. The two dozen participants learned the best way to brace for a crash, how to open aircraft doors and why to wait until exiting a plane to inflate life vests.

“In this day and age, everybody is so comfortable with flying, they get on planes and don’t consider safety,” said Andy Clubb, a safety instructor at British Airways’ flight training center.

back and forth like taxiing, then tilts up for takeoff.

Soon theatrical smoke fills the cabin and the flight attendants shout “Brace. Brace.

Brace.” Everybody’s head goes down until the evacuation order is given.

It’s a scramble to the nearest exit. Some passengers fare better than others. Seatbelts aren’t snapped off quickly enough. One woman struggles to open the emergency exit over the wing.

When the smoke clears, the group sits back down and learns that six to eight passengers can go through the door in the time it takes one passenger to go through the tiny overwing exit, so seconds count.

British Airways hopes the more than 15,000 people who have taken the training since 2004 can act as leaders for others to follow in a crash. Some passengers freeze or melt down in an emergency. If they see someone quickly, calmly and confidently following a flight attendant’s instructions to evacuate, they might do the same.

Participants practice the brace position in a cabin simulator during a British Airways flight safety course Sept. 10 at the airline’s Cranebank training facility, near Heathrow airport in London. The half-day safety course, now open to frequent fliers willing to pay $265, encourages passengers to be aware of their surroundings and familiarize themselves with what happens in an emergency.

UNITED NATIONS – Confronted by the growing threat of Middle East militants, President Barack Obama implored world leaders at the United Nations Wednesday to rally behind his expanding military campaign to stamp out the violent Islamic State group and its “network of death.”

“There can be no reasoning, no negotiation, with this brand of evil,” Obama told the General Assembly. In a striking shift for a president who has been reluctant to take military action in the past, Obama declared that force is the only language the militants understand. He warned those who have joined their cause to “leave the battlefield while they can.”

The widening war against the Islamic State was just one in a cascade of crises that confronted the presidents, prime ministers and monarchs at the annual meeting of the U.N. General Assembly. Also vying for attention was Russia’s continued provocations in Ukraine, a deadly Ebola outbreak in West Africa, and the plight of civilians caught in conflicts around the world.

“Not since the end of the Second World War have there been so many refugees, displaced people and asylum seekers,” U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said as he opened Wednesday’s session.

In a rare move, Obama also chaired a meeting of the U.N. Security Council where members unanimously adopted a resolution requiring all countries to prevent the recruitment and transport of would-be foreign fighters pre-

paring to join terrorist organizations such as the Islamic State group.

The American-led military campaign in the Middle East was at the center of much of the day’s discussions. After weeks of airstrikes in Iraq, U.S. planes began hitting targets in Syria this week, joined by an unexpected coalition of five Arab nations: President Bahrain, Saudi Barack Arabia, JorObama dan, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.

There were more U.S. and coalition airstrikes Wednesday on both sides of the Syrian-Iraqi border. U.S. and allied planes and drones hit a dozen targets in Syria that included small oil refineries that have been providing millions of dollars to the Islamic State, the U.S. Central Command said. Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates also participated.

France has also taken part in strikes in Iraq, and British Prime Minister David Cameron’s office announced that Parliament was being recalled to London to debate whether to join the campaign, too.

The Islamic State has made lightning gains in Iraq this year and now moves freely across the increasingly blurred border with Syria.

The group has claimed responsibility for the beheading of two American journalists and a British aid worker, sparking outrage in the West and contributing to an increase in public support for military action.

No law on living near bus stops What’s next

• BUS STOP Continued from page A1 parents Tuesday that they are adding a bus stop about 600 feet away at North Oak Creek Drive and Walnut Street in Genoa, while maintaining the original bus stop as well.

Luke could not be reached for comment Wednesday; he did not respond to a message left with a woman living with him who answered the door at his home.

Luke was convicted of sexually assaulting a 9-year-old child when he was 20 years old, which was about 22 years ago, according to the Illinois Sex Offender Registry. He was sentenced to three years in prison in 2010 after admitting he failed to register as a sex offender.

Illinois state law places no restrictions on sex offenders living near school bus stops, and also does not require that a bus stop be moved because a sex offender lives nearby, said Monique Bond, chief of communications for the Illinois State Police.

However, Genoa Police added a sign Monday marking the bus stop, as well as telling Luke he can not step foot outside his house when children are being dropped off and picked up. If he violates the rule, he could be arrested, Bond said.

District 424 Superintendent Joe Burgess said school officials are keeping the original bus stop because it is convenient: the Oak Creek subdivision and another meet there, and some students who walk to the original bus stop do not pass by Luke’s house, he said.

With the added bus stop,

Now that a sign has been posted indicating the intersection of South Oak Creek Drive and Walnut Street is a bus stop, a sex offender cannot knowingly be present within 100 feet of that bus stop when children are present. The child sex offender could be charged with a Class 4 felony if found in violation, but only if the bus stop is posted and when children are present.

Source: Monique Bond, Illinois State Police Chief of Communications the bus will need to find a place to turn around and reroute, Burgess said.

“If that’s what we have to do, that’s what we’re going to do,” he said.

Burgess said two students were picked up at the new bus stop Wednesday morning, and Genoa Police Chief Ty Lynch said about five students were at the original bus stop. Students using the new bus stop will not need to walk past Luke’s home.

Lynch said police began receiving calls about the situation earlier this month, when he noticed parents posted their concerns on a community group Facebook page.

After speaking with Illinois State Police, Lynch said police decided to put up a sign and tell Luke he wasn’t allowed to go within 100 feet of the bus stop.

“It certainly doesn’t prevent anything from happening, but this certainly gives us some force to take a look and make sure he’s not coming out while the kids are [getting on or off the bus],” Lynch said.

“If he is, we certainly want to

arrest him for that violation.”

The only reason there is a sign marking the original bus stop is because of Luke, Lynch said. Police will periodically patrol the area near Luke’s home to make sure he isn’t stepping outside when children are going to school, Lynch said.

“He needs to know what the times are and plan ahead,” Lynch said.

Bus stop locations can change annually depending on where students live and what schools they are attending, Burgess said.

Officials decided to add the new bus stop as a “temporary” one as long as it is a safety issue, he said.

Some parents, including Valerie Velez, are worried about their children’s safety.

As a stay-at-home mother, Velez drives her second-grade daughter and fifth-grade son to school every day. Two days ago, she moved into a house two doors down from Luke’s without realizing he is a registered sex offender.

She said she is already looking for other homes.

“I feel unsafe,” Velez said.

“My son is sleeping with me now because of it. He doesn’t feel safe. He wants to move out.”

There are a lot of children in the neighborhood, and parents are all looking out for them, said Dave Bensinger, who lives across the street from Luke. Bensinger lives with his teenage daughter and son, wife and father-in-law.

“The message to parents is clear: Accompany your children,” Bensinger said. “Be aware of the sex offenders in your area, and have resources at your disposal.”

Several other open city positions remain • ESPIRITU Continued from page A1 Mark Biernacki. Espiritu also served as interim finance director from March to July after Laura Pisarcik resigned.

Espiritu said he’s happy to have helped move the city’s general fund account balance from less than 1 percent to close to 18 percent during the past seven years. He’s also proud of seeing the $24 million DeKalb Public Library expansion get underway and implementing better collective bargaining strategies.

“I will miss the people at the city that I work with,” Espiritu said. “I will miss the community, and I will miss being part of the Stage Coach Players.”

Mayor John Rey said he

knew based on Espiritu’s aspirations to be a city manager that if alderman didn’t hire Espiritu, another city would. Rey didn’t expect Espiritu’s resignation this week, leaving him conflicted about the announcement.

“My mixed emotion comes from regret we’d be losing Rudy, but at the same time, I’m very excited for him to have this opportunity,” Rey said.

Espiritu’s position is the latest in a list of vacancies that need to be filled at city hall.

The list includes a deputy city clerk, three police officers, geographic information systems intern and an assistant transportation planner. Also, Gaura said, city leaders are close to hiring someone to fill the newly created community development director role.

The city likely will be without an assistant city manager until January, Gaura said.

Deciding how to handle Espiritu’s duties in the interim will come after a conversation the DeKalb aldermen. Rey said he is open to solutions that will allow city services to remain uninterrupted.

City leaders need to fill the deputy city clerk position that opened when Diane Wright worked her last day Thursday, as well. Gaura said the city also won’t fill that position until January because city leaders were already in the hiring process for other positions.

Officials also will need to find someone to replace Liz Peerboom, who resigned in an email to Rey on Friday and said she would hand in her official resignation this week.

Taylor posted the video on a Facebook account with the profile name of Ryan Scott and the URL identifier of facebook. com/ryanstaylor87. The video also was posted on a YouTube account of Ryan Taylor.

When reached via Facebook message through the Ryan Scott account, Taylor acknowledged the pending 2013 credit-card fraud case in DeKalb County, and that he had at least one other pending criminal case. He declined to be interviewed by the Daily Chronicle.

He did not explain why he used different names on the Facebook and YouTube accounts, but the names, birth dates and addresses in all three court cases match.

Taylor was charged with driving under the influence with a blood-alcohol content of 0.165 percent Nov. 28, 2012, after a DeKalb police officer noticed him turning into an oncoming lane of traffic, according to court records. He was sentenced to 18 months of court supervision and is due in court today on that case.

In the credit-card case, Taylor is accused of making a payment to his Paypal account with a woman’s credit card without her permission in June 2013, court records show. Taylor’s boss provided

his defense a letter indicating Taylor was a delivery driver at a local restaurant and that the restaurant allowed him to swipe customer credit cards using his smartphone and transfer the money at the end of his shift from his Paypal account to the restaurant, which is what his boss said happened in the June 2013 incident, court records show.

In the domestic battery case, Taylor is accused of punching his roommate twice in the face June 27, court records show. Both the credit-card and domestic-battery cases are due in court Oct. 22.

In a video posted to his Facebook page Tuesday, Taylor tried to clarify why he shot the video of the checkpoint, which police operated from 9 p.m. Saturday to 2 a.m. Sunday at Annie Glidden Road south of Hillcrest Drive.

“I think people are thinking I am just some punk kid with a malicious agenda,” Taylor said. “That is not at all the case. In the case of my video, that was a demonstration; it was a peaceful protest. It was a demonstration of how to exercise your constitutional rights. I was not there to instigate anyone or make anyone angry or anything.”

The checkpoint video shows Taylor asking an Illinois State trooper if he is being detained. The trooper states he is legally able to stop Taylor, and Taylor said he

believes the stop is unconstitutional. Taylor said he is not obligated to provide his driver’s license and registration to the officer.

Then, a second officer opens Taylor’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.”

Taylor said he is not resisting, and hands over his license and registration as the officer continues to talk to him with the door open. Taylor eventually said he would like to exercise his Fifth Amendment right. The officer asks if Taylor knows what that means, then shuts Taylor’s door.

Illinois State Police said more than 270 cars were stopped during the checkpoint, which was operated in cooperation with Northern Illinois University and DeKalb police. There were 16 citations issued, two written warnings and no DUI arrests, police said.

Police could not confirm the identity of the person in the video, saying there was no reason to document the license a trooper reviewed during the encounter. State police officials have said they would continue to review the incident, although they said in a statement Monday that, based on the information available at the time, it did not appear that the officer violated any policy.

Secretary of State Police experts travel the state training liquor establishments, law enforcement, banks and other commercial entities on how to spot a fake ID. The fact of the matter is, while the fake may look good, those with a trained eye and inexpensive equipment such as a black light or a laser pen can quickly tell the difference.

I urge college students and others who are underage to refrain from obtaining fake IDs. The penalties are too severe and will impact their future in a negative way.

Area needs a bookstore

To the Editor: A viable bookstore is as vital to the social and intellectual needs of the DeKalb area as its libraries.

Barnes and Noble has its own corporate challenges, competing with its own stores for online sales and continued support of its Nook. The DeKalb Barnes and Noble has been economically supported by the community.

DeKalb’s economic development efforts helped bring Barnes and Noble into the area-at the cost of a local book store. Whatever the issues are – economic incentives, high rents or business ordinances, the City of DeKalb and the DeKalb County Economic Development Corp. should be doing all they can to keep Barnes and Noble as a community asset, or at least to entice another bookstore to serve our community.

Obama misses point on tax inversions Corporate inversions – when American companies reincorporate abroad to lower their tax bills – have become a political controversy solely because of the screwiness of the U.S. tax system. If our government taxed companies based on their consumption, or on the income they make on U.S. territory, or on where their shareholders live, then the place where they were chartered would have no tax consequences.

Our government has instead decided to tax the worldwide profits of companies chartered in the United States, and is then shocked that companies prefer to move their charters elsewhere.

The Obama administration is taking regulatory action to deter companies from avoiding U.S. taxes this way, and urging legislative action as well.

Republicans think that instead of new regulations we should move toward a territorial tax system where charters don’t matter so much and then cut corporate tax rates.

Many Democrats, too, have called for lower corporate rates, including President Barack Obama himself.

Compared to other developed countries, which have been cutting their rates over the last few decades, the U.S. has high

VIEWS Ramesh Ponnuru corporate taxes (even after accounting for loopholes). Lower rates should bring more investment here, and that should in turn raise wages.

Yet neither a strong case nor bipartisan support has been enough to overcome several obstacles to rate reduction. Cutting corporate rates will probably lower federal revenue.

If policymakers try to make up for the revenue loss by, for example, slowing down the rate at which companies can write off their investments, then they will defeat the point of the exercise: New investments in the U.S. would become less attractive rather than more so.

Many businesses pay taxes under the individual income tax. Their taxes went up last year, so the trade associations that represent them in Washington will complain if corporations get a cut. But reforming the individual tax code as well as the corporate one would vastly complicate the legislative task.

The way to cut this political knot, I

think, starts with moving to territorial taxation, as the Republicans urge. But the second step shouldn’t be to lower the tax rate on corporate income. Instead, it should be to lower taxes on business investment.

Companies – whether they pay the corporate or individual rate – should be allowed to deduct the full cost of their investments in the year they make them, instead of stretching out those deductions for years into the future. To make up lost revenue, tax breaks for corporate debt should be scaled back.

Republican Rep. Devin Nunes has been working on a reform along these lines (although he would also like to bring the corporate rate down). So have Republican Sens. Mike Lee and Marco Rubio. The result of this reform would be a simpler business tax system, more investment in the U.S. and less corporate debt.

There would be fewer inversions, too – and fewer reasons to care about them.

Rita Crundwell, Dixon’s disgraced former city comptroller, apparently believes an injustice is about to be visited upon her personal finances.

And the federal prison inmate wants to do something about it.

Crundwell, who pleaded guilty to stealing a mind-boggling $53.7 million from the city of Dixon between 1991 and 2012, does not want her pension accounts to be used to repay the massive restitution bill For the record she owes.

The issue will be front The former Dixon and center during a Chicago comptroller who stole federal court hearing next $53.7 million from the city week. doesn’t think her pension While Crundwell was money should be used to stealing millions from pay it back. We disagree.

Dixon taxpayers, a portion of her salary was duly put away into two retirement accounts. The total amount set aside is more than $90,000.

From her prison cell in Waseka, Minnesota, where she is serving a nearly 20-year sentence for wire fraud, Crundwell made it clear that she wants that money to be off limits to the public.

“I wish to object to the inclusion of these funds in the judgment,” Crundwell wrote in a letter to the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Rita Attorney’s Office. “I feel these funds Crundwell should be exempt.”

Crundwell must be looking ahead to the day when she can leave prison a free woman and desires a nice pension to support herself.

However, that won’t happen for quite a while. All her personal needs for years to come will be covered by federal taxpayers.

Meanwhile, Crundwell still owes the city more than $44.4 million in restitution, after the sale of her property and assets netted the city a check for $9.2 million.

Public pensions are the reward for retired public servants who have discharged their duties diligently, faithfully and honestly.

Crundwell’s devious, heartless thefts fit none of those descriptions.

Therefore, let her pension funds be ordered forfeited and awarded to the city.

If the perpetrator of a historic injustice believes herself to be the victim of an injustice, well, that’s just too bad. She’ll find little sympathy here.

ANOTHER VIEW

Pa. students stand up to assault on free press The students who edit the newspaper at Neshaminy High School think the nickname of their Pennsylvania school’s sports teams is racist. They banned its use on their pages, a stance in keeping with that taken on the national scene by those (including us) who object to Washington’s identically named football team.

You would think young people engaging with an important social issue and standing up for something they believe in would be appreciated, even applauded. Instead, school officials suspended the newspaper’s editor, sanctioned the teacher adviser and fined the organization.

“It is one of the most controversial issues in Neshaminy’s history. It is a topic that no one wants to discuss, but one that needs to be discussed,” begins a thoughtful editorial last October in the Playwickian explaining “why we refuse to publish ‘The R-Word.’ ” A battle with school administrators ensued, coming to a head when officials told students they couldn’t publish a letter with “R-------” but must use the complete word.

Instead, the students ran a block of white space, which, an editors’ note explained, “represents our resolve to maintain our rights as editors and our determination to eliminate discrimination.”

School administrators, who didn’t respond to our inquiries, removed Gillian McGoldrick from her post as editor in chief for a month, suspended without pay for two days newspaper adviser Tara Huber (who in June had been named “journalism teacher of the year” by the state school press association) and docked $1,200 from its student activity fund.

The students are getting support from student press advocates and a successful crowdfunding campaign, but it’s unclear what will happen when the students try to go to press with their next issue.

“We are concentrating on just trying to put out the best newspaper we can,” Ms. McGoldrick told us.

People may differ on whether the school’s sports moniker – like that of Washington’s team – is offensive, but there should be no disagreement about journalists exercising their rights.

In Neshaminy, it is the students who are behaving like grown-ups.

We admire their commitment to stand up for what they think is right.

OAK CREST DeKalb Area Retirement Center www.oakcrestdekalb.org

“Be careful what you ask for…”

There I was, living in my own home in Creston, IL and managing just fine. I had my good friends, my loving family and a home I enjoyed. Then it happened. One day you wake up and you think to yourself, “Hey. I’m not as young as I used to be.”

It kind of sneaks up on you and before you know it you start considering what the options might be as you face those big Charllotte Berg retirement decisions. My children live out of state and I knew that I wanted to stay near my friends, church and my community activities so my search began. I already had some dear friends living at Oak Crest and after visiting decided that the on-site availability of health care, location and surroundings were the perfect fit for me. Now, I was faced with the dilemma of making the decision to actually move.

So, I called up Oak Crest with some pretty specific requests. I wanted an apartment on third floor, looking north, near my cousin. Feeling pretty confident that my requests would not be easily filled, I sat back and relaxed. Imagine my surprise when mere weeks later I received a call telling me that my every wish was granted. I moved in and have to tell you I couldn’t be happier. I enjoy my apartment; I love my neighbors and I can participate in any number of events and activities throughout the day. As my Oak Crest neighbors and I say, “Be careful what you wish for at Oak Crest, because they just might come true.”

NORTHERN ILLINOIS FOOTBALL

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – There were discussions of a settlement this year between representatives for Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston and the woman who said he sexually assaulted her.

Attorneys for both sides strongly disagree, however, on the details of the talks and who initiated them.

David Cornwell, an attorney who advises the Winston family, said in a Sept. 23 letter to Florida State obtained by The Associated Press that the woman’s former lawyer, Patricia Carroll, demanded $7 million in February to settle her claim against Winston, the university and the Tallahassee Police Department.

Baine Kerr, one of the lawyers for the woman, said in a statement emailed to the AP on Wednesday that Cornwell sought the settlement. Kerr said it’s “our understanding that (a) settlement was discussed, no authorized demands were made of Mr. Winston.”

TMZ first reported the letter had been sent to Florida State.

Neither Cornwell nor Florida State immediately responded to requests for comment.

situation you’re in now. If they say yes, you’ve got an opportunity,’ ” Orne said. “I was just like, ‘Well, dad’s got a point.’ ” Turns out, NIU did want a kicker, and Orne’s shot in the dark worked, as he was offered a tryout.

“I came out here, I actually brought some stuff down for flag football, intramural sports. I had some soccer cleats and a football, but I didn’t have any sticks to hold my ball up and my roommates were busy,” Orne said. “I actually used a fly swatter and a sweatshirt. When the guys came out, [former graduate assistant Zach] Opsal was kind of like, ‘What are you doing?’ So I had to explain what was going on.”

For the first two games of the season, senior Tyler Wedel handled kickoffs, field goals and punts.

If you’re looking for bitterness and frustration, or for someone to angrily spout off about how unfair it all is, don’t go looking for Andrew Shaw.

He might be a trash-talker and an agitator on the ice, but off the ice, Shaw seems to find the bright spot in nearly every situation, and peppers nearly every comment with some variation of “working hard,” “my teammates,” or “working hard for my teammates.” “ I ’ m a team guy,” he said Wednesday.

“I’m going to do what’s best for the team and just go out there and Andrew Shaw work and compete to the best of my ability.”

Although Shaw waited for nearly three seasons to get a Next crack at being a vs. Detroit, top-six forward, 6:30 p.m. then immediatetoday ly flourished in the role on the biggest stage, only to find himself back in his traditional thirdline role this season – bumped by summer acquisition Brad Richards – there’s no trace of anger in Shaw’s voice. If coach Joel Quenneville wants him on that third line, then so be it.

“He knows what he’s doing,” Shaw said. “We have a great group of guys here; we’ve got a real deep team. It just means we’re going to win a lot of games.”

Shaw actually got two stints at playing between Brandon Saad and Patrick Kane on the second line last year. In mid-January, he got moved up for two games and scored a goal in each one, adding an assist.

Then, with the Hawks trailing the Kings, 3-1, in the Western Conference final, Quenneville reunited the trio, and Shaw had four assists in three games.

Kane had two goals and seven assists in those last three games, and Saad had two goals and four assists.

The chemistry was real and it was instant.

“Hopefully, what we discovered could be a line for a long time,” Quenneville said at the time.

Instead, Richards slides into that role, and Shaw moves back to his usual spot between Bryan Bickell and Kris Versteeg.

“I’m still getting a little adjusted to the season,” he said.

“Just playing on my feet, from a different leverage standpoint.”

But there’s a sense of rejuvenation that comes with change, and at 34, it’s perfect for Peppers.

A pronounced smile showed up throughout a recent interview at his locker in Lambeau Field.

“A fresh start is always a great thing,” Peppers said. “It is rejuvenating. Everybody should have a chance to move around every couple of years. It’s good for you. Change is good sometimes. Not sometimes, most of the time, it’s pretty good.

SPORTS SHORTS Accuser says Jones paid her to keep silent DALLAS – An Oklahoma woman said in a lawsuit that Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones paid her for at least four years to prevent her from reporting an alleged sexual assault.

Jana Weckerly’s attorney, Thomas Bowers, filed an updated lawsuit Monday that accuses Jones of forcibly touching Weckerly’s genitals and kissing her on the lips without her consent more than 5 years ago, then bullying her into not reporting the alleged attack. The lawsuit seeks more than $1 million in damages.

Jones has denied Weckerly’s allegations and the Cowboys on Wednesday referred to an earlier statement from Jones attorney Levi McCathern calling the claims “completely false.”

“This is nothing more than an attempt to embarrass and extort Jerry Jones,” McCathern said in the statement made immediately after the lawsuit was initially filed Sept. 8.

Bowers did not return a phone message Wednesday afternoon. Both sides have cited a gag order issued in the case since the suit was first filed as reason for declining additional comment.

Oliver’s family sues NFL over his suicide LOS ANGELES – The wife and sons of former San Diego Chargers defensive back Paul Oliver sued the NFL for wrongful death, blaming sports-related concussions for his suicide last year.

The suit was filed Monday in Los Angeles County Superior Court against the league, the Chargers, the New Orleans Saints and the corporations that own several helmet manufacturers. It also alleges fraud and negligence.

It said Oliver, 29, shot himself to death in front of his wife, Chelsea, and two sons last September at his home in Marietta, Georgia.

ESPN suspends Simmons for NFL comments ESPN has suspended Bill Simmons for three weeks after he repeatedly called NFL commissioner Roger Goodell a liar during a profane tirade on a podcast.

ESPN announced the suspension Wednesday.

Simmons’ podcast was released Tuesday. He said he thought Goodell lied about not knowing what was on a security video that showed former Ravens running back Ray Rice hitting his wife in an elevator.

Sports primer for new bishop down slowly. Cutler has an angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other, and they’re fighting an all-out war. Some games he’s great, others he’s terrible. He is the city’s No. 1 emotional challenge. Perhaps the McCaskey family, the owners of the team, can land a sponsor for that – Jay Cutler, the Blue Cross Blue Shield “Cross to Bear?”

VIEWS Rick Morrissey A reporter recently asked the soon-to-be archbishop of Chicago, Blase Cupich, what he had been doing to learn about the city.

“I’m reading the sports page, for one,” he said.

Excellent answer, Your Excellency. If a newcomer wants to know what makes Chicago’s heart flutter, race and seize up, he should get to know its sports teams and stars.

You have a lot on your collection plate these days, Bishop Cupich, so allow me to give you a primer on Chicago sports.

Here’s what you’re getting yourself into:

THE BLACKHAWKS If you’re looking for true sustained excellence, look no farther than the Hawks, who won the Stanley Cup in 2010 and 2013, lost in seven games in the Western Conference final last season and should be a contender this season.

Bishop Cupich, you will be pleased to know that the Hawks gave in to an online petition and have stopped playing “The Stripper’’ while attractive women take part in their Shoot the Puck contest. You might be surprised to learn it’s 2014.

THE CUBS I believe in God, but the very existence of this franchise would seem to suggest that I switch my allegiance to someone who might produce better results, such as the goddess of tree stumps. This will be the team’s 106th straight season without a World Series title.

I know, I know: Time as we know it doesn’t exist in heaven.

But let me tell you something, Bishop, time is absolutely dragging down here.

The Cubs could have their fourth season in a row with at least 90 losses. I’m sure you think you know about the virtue of hope, but until you’ve heard Cubs fans talking about next year (any next year), you don’t know hope. The latest object of their blind faith is President of Baseball Operations Theo Epstein, who has torn down the major-league product and built up the minor-league system. Because of this, the breathless talk around town now is of a future of “sustained excellence.”

God either has a great sense of humor or a vicious mean streak.

THE WHITE SOX This is the city’s South Side baseball team. Cubs and Sox fans don’t like each other. After going 88 years without a World Series title, the Sox finally won

THE BULLS This is more of an evangelical Christian thing, but a faith healing involving Derrick Rose’s knees wouldn’t be turned down. After playing a total of 10 games the past two seasons and not looking like his old self in the recently completed World Cup, Rose and the Bulls are facing a huge season.

A laying on of hands might calm the fan base.

Bears quarterback Jay Cutler walks off the field after the Bears beat the COLLEGE SPORTS As the bishop of Spokane, New York Jets, 27-19, Monday in East Rutherford, N.J. one in 2005, which their fans see as bragging rights for eternity. They might be right about that. The Sox haven’t done a whole lot since, and the past two seasons have induced narcolepsy. On the other hand, plenty of seats are available.

THE BEARS This is the franchise of Butkus and Ditka, and the city thinks it sees itself in these tough, hard-working characters. The Bears are 2-1 heading into Sunday’s game against their archrivals, the Packers.

Why do the two fan bases hate

each other so much? Because Packers fans are a bunch of toothless, unshaven Cheeseheads. As are their husbands.

What’s that, Your Grace? Yes, I suppose a trip to confession wouldn’t hurt.

If you’d like to attend a game at Soldier Field, know that the average ticket price is $108.44, fifth highest in the NFL and $24 more than the league average.

Greed – isn’t that one of the seven deadly sins?

JAY CUTLER To say the Bears quarterback is mercurial isn’t fair to mercury, which goes up and

Washington, you might be under the impression that it’s easy to win, seeing as how Gonzaga is successful every year in basketball. It’s not like that here. The basketball hasn’t been good for a while.

As for football, Illinois is bad, and Northwestern is trending downward. Northern Illinois has had some big moments.

You’ll find life a lot easier if you pretend Notre Dame is better than everybody at everything.

Arrieta outpitches Cards’ Lackey CHICAGO – Jake Arrieta pitched seven strong innings to outduel St. Louis’ John Lackey and lead the Cubs to a 3-1 victory over the Cardinals on Wednesday night.

Arrieta (10-5), coming off a one-hit shutout against Cincinnati last week, limited St. Louis to two hits and an unearned run while striking out 10.

The Cardinals, who clinched a playoff berth earlier in the week, remained 1½ games ahead of Pittsburgh in the NL Central. The Pirates lost at Atlanta, reducing St. Louis’ magic number to three for clinching the division title.

The Cardinals’ loss assured NL East champion Washington

will open a division series at home.

Lackey (3-3) gave up two runs and five hits in 6⅔ innings.

He struck out eight, his most since joining the Cardinals at the trade deadline.

Arrieta helped his own cause in the fourth inning. After Lackey inten- Jake Arrieta tionally walked Logan Watkins, Arrieta hit a two-run triple – the first triple of his career and the first by a Cubs pitcher since 2012.

Tigers 6, White Sox 1: At Detroit, the final inning of Chris Sale’s stellar season was certainly an eventful one.

with a pitch in the sixth, and the benches and bullpens briefly emptied. Then the Tigers broke up the Sox ace’s shutout and went on to win.

The Sox led 1-0 with one out in the sixth when Sale’s first pitch to Martinez hit the Detroit slugger around the back of his left shoulder. Martinez walked slowly to first, and although the benches and bullpens briefly emptied, the situation didn’t escalate.

“Obviously, we knew his numbers against myself, and I was just trying to pitch him inside, and one got away,” Sale said. “After that, tempers flared – we’re just a bunch of big kids out there playing baseball, and we get emotional. That’s all it was.”

The Tigers had a different explanation.

“They were claiming that someone with binoculars in center field was giving signs to Victor,” Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said. “I think it’s a little weak that they would hit him. If they injure Victor there and we’re in the playoff hunt, that’s bad news. That just can’t happen.

“He clearly did it on purpose.

He made it obvious.”

Sale didn’t accuse the Tigers of stealing signs afterward. He did appear to point toward center field after hitting Martinez, but he said he wasn’t specifically gesturing toward there.

“I was just throwing my arms up, like you do when you are upset,” the left-hander said.

“I wasn’t really trying to control where they pointed.”

NHL PRESEASON

Coach Q doesn’t see Shaw’s move as a demotion • BLACKHAWKS Continued from page B1 Not that Quenneville looks at it as much of a demotion.

The Hawks are deep enough to claim three scoring lines, while the fourth line handles the traditional checking role.

“The quality of ice time he’s going to get is going to be very comparable whether he’s playing with Kaner and Saader, or Bick and Steeger,” Quenneville said. “It makes us a good team, having that option, being deep in that position.”

Besides, Shaw and Bickell have been playing together for a couple of years now, and have an easy chemistry themselves. Although they look nothing alike – Bickell a 6-foot4 power forward, Shaw a 5-10 scrapper – they have the same mind-set and net-crashing style.

That’s helped them become a

“I go to the net and catch myself looking beside me and he’s standing right there,” Bickell

said.

Said Shaw, “I think he’s in my head half the time.”

It also is easy for Shaw to shrug off the demotion because Quenneville’s lines never are

etched in stone. Shaw is only entering his fourth NHL season and is coming off his first 20-goal campaign. He’s confident he’ll get more chances to move up. For a guy who was passed over in the draft twice only to become a playoff hero and a Stanley Cup champion, this disappointment – if it exists – is hardly the biggest obstacle he’s had to overcome in his career.

“I think every player would love to be top-six,” he said.

“You’ve just got to push and never give up on that dream of being there. Just compete, and what happens, happens.”

So you won’t hear Shaw whine about it. He prefers to make his case on the ice, not off it.

“Whether he’s complaining or not, I think everybody likes more,” Quenneville said. “And he’s one of those guys that always will show us that he wants more.”

PREP ROUNDUP

Stewart won’t face charges Millburg wins

By DAILY CHRONICLE

Ward family says it will seek civil damages

sports@daily-chronicle.com

By JENNA FRYER and CAROLYN THOMPSON The Associated Press CANANDAIGUA, N.Y. – After more than six weeks in limbo, NASCAR star Tony Stewart finally got the news he had been hoping for.

A grand jury that heard testimony from more than two dozen witnesses, including accident reconstruction experts and drivers, and looked at photographs and video decided against Kevin Ward Jr. bringing criminal charges against Stewart for the death of 20-year-old sprint car driver Kevin Ward Jr. during an Aug. 9 race.

That doesn’t Tony Stewart mean it’s over.

A few hours after Ontario County District Attorney Michael Tantillo announced the grand jury’s decision in this upstate New York hamlet, the Ward family indicated in a statement read over the telephone by sister Kayla Herring that they will seek civil damages in the young driver’s death.

“Our son got out of his car during caution when the race was suspended. All the other vehicles were reducing speed and not accelerating except for Stewart, who intentionally tried to intimidate Kevin by accelerating and sliding his car toward him, causing the tragedy,” the family said Wednesday. “The focus should be on the actions of Mr. Stewart. This matter is not at rest

Ontario County District Attorney Michael Tantillo addresses the media during a news conference Wednesday at the Ontario County Courthouse in Canandaigua, N.Y. Tantillo announced that a grand jury had decided against bringing criminal charges against three-time NASCAR champion Tony Stewart in the August death of driver Kevin Ward Jr., at a sprint car race in upstate New York. and we will pursue all remedies in fairness to Kevin.”

The family might have a difficult task: Tantillo disclosed that Ward was under the influence of marijuana the night he died and said two different videos were enhanced, frames were isolated and viewed at at least three different speeds and finally overlaid with grids and data. Both showed Stewart had done nothing wrong.

“The videos did not demonstrate any aberrational driving

by Tony Stewart until the point of impact with Kevin Ward, at which point his vehicle veered to the right up the track as a result of the collision. Before that, his course was pretty straight,” said Tantillo. He added that toxicology evidence from Ward’s autopsy “indicates that at the time of operation he was under the influence of marijuana. The levels determined were enough to impair judgment.”

Stewart’s reaction was not

one of celebration, and his statement had the same twinge of sadness that he’s carried since he returned to NASCAR three weeks ago after three weeks of seclusion after Ward’s death.

The 43-year-old NASCAR superstar acknowledged the investigation was “long and emotionally difficult” but noted it allowed time for all the facts to be presented.

“This has been the toughest and most emotional experience of my life, and it will stay with me forever. I’m very grateful for all the support I’ve received and continue to receive,” he said.

“While much of the attention has been on me, it’s important to remember a young man lost his life. Kevin Ward Jr.’s family and friends will always be in my thoughts and prayers.”

David Weinstein, a former state and federal prosecutor in Miami who is not involved in the case, said the toxicology evidence will make it difficult

for the Wards to win a lawsuit against Stewart. He said the Ward statement showed the family was “clearly upset and at a vulnerable point.”

“Hopefully, someone will explain to them that Kevin will be dragged through the mud during a civil trial,” he said. “After the results of the toxicology report and the findings of the grand jury, the deep pockets will not be willing to settle this lawsuit so quickly.”

The decision came nearly seven weeks after Stewart’s car struck and killed Ward, sending shock waves through the top racing series in the United States. The brash and popular NASCAR driver known as “Smoke” skipped three races as he grieved, and returned to racing in late August. One of the biggest stars in the garage, Stewart has 48 career Cup wins in 542 starts but is winless this year and did not make the championship Chase field.

Adam Millburg finished in 14:57 to take first place Wednesday at a 12-team meet at Byron, helping his Sycamore boys cross country team to a second-place finish.

The Spartans finished with 49 points with six runners in the top 21. Sterling Newman won with 28 points.

Stephen Poorten took eighth in 16:09 for the Spartans, and Sam Zurbuch (16:29, 14th) edged teammate Michael Lerohl (16:34, 15th).

“We ran pretty well,” Sycamore coach Michael Lambden said. “We’ve had trouble with consistency this year, but we ran well and put together a solid meet.”

DeKalb took fourth with 89 points. Brandon Anderson was 10th in 16:18.

Hinckley-Big Rock sophomore Audrey Harrod finished second in the girls race with a time of 18.47. The Sycamore girls took fourth, led by Julianne Morreale in seventh in 19:51.

Dekalb was third, led by Emma Conway (20:37, 12th) and Tania Barragan (20:47.

GIRLS GOLF IC gets big win: Indian Creek entered the quadrangular at Sterling with one win, but quadrupled that number, winning the meet and improving to 4-8 on the year.

Delaney Bend was the medalist with a 50, and Katherine Nolan shot a 51 at par-36 Emerald Hills.

“It was our first really big win of the year,” coach Keith Haag said.

BOYS SOCCER Bullard scores 5 for H-BR: Jack Bullard had five goals and an assist as Hinckley-Big Rock rolled over Aurora Central Catholic, 7-0.

Eric Phillips and Connor Nelson each had goals for the Royals (12-1).

Indian Creek falls at Seneca: Newark-Seneca rolled to a 5-0 home win against Indian Creek (1-11-1).

Big change for Orne • HUSKIES Continued from page B1 Against UNLV, NIU coach Rod Carey decided to have the sophomore Orne handle kickoff duties to take some pressure off Wedel.

He’s averaged 55.8 yards on 12 kickoffs, and taking the duty away from Wedel has been a positive for Wedel.

After starting out 2 of 4 on field goals, Wedel has gone 2 for 2 since.

“Orne, what he brings to

us is a good leg. He’s probably not as strong as Wedel, but what that allows Wedel to do is he can just hit wedges all day instead of hitting drivers,” Carey said. “So, it’s a good thing for him to hit wedges.”

Orne never thought this experience would happen when he sent that email to Polasek last fall. One thing is for sure, life certainly is a lot different for Orne these days.

“It was a life change for sure,” he said. “A big, quick change.”

LITTLE LEAGUE WORLD SERIES

U.S. team captain Tom Watson stands on the 16th tee box during a practice round Wednesday ahead of the Ryder Cup at Gleneagles, Scotland.

RYDER CUP

Tom Watson’s last Ryder Cup hurrah

By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press GLENEAGLES, Scotland – Phil Mickelson has played in the Ryder Cup more times than any American. His experience is such that recent captains have leaned on him for observations on everything from pairings to picks. That wasn’t the case with Tom Watson at the helm.

In the week leading up to Watson making his three wild-card picks, Mickelson was asked if the 65-year-old captain had reached out to him. The answer was no, without elaboration.

Then, as if to make a point, Mickelson reached into his pocket for his phone, glanced at it and replied, “Still no.”

Watson might not need any help to find a winning formula for the Ryder Cup. One reason the PGA of America took a chance on the oldest captain ever in the Ryder Cup was his history in the matches.

The Americans haven’t won on European soil since 1993, the last time Watson was the captain. He is adored in Scotland as much as any American golfer, having won the British Open four times on Scottish links. His three Senior British Open titles all were in Scotland.

In the four Ryder Cups that Watson played, only one was in the United States.

One thing hasn’t changed.

Watson approaches these matches with a singular focus.

“The European team is loaded,” Watson said. “But when the matches start at 7:35 on Friday morning, there’s going to be quality of play going on. We’ll just see who wins. I know our team is totally committed to bringing the cup back. I know that.

And I’m going to do everything in my power to help them do that and set the stage for them.”

Even so, the generation gap creates a dynamic that brings an element of curiosity to this Ryder Cup. Only two players on his team – Mickelson and Jim Furyk – were playing on the PGA Tour when Watson won the last of his 39 titles in 1998.

Watson has not been at a Ryder Cup since he was captain, and he was slightly defensive Wednesday when asked a series of questions about whether that might hurt him.

“No,” he said flatly. “Because I’ve played in the Ryder Cup four times, and I’ve been a captain once. That’s experience.”

Davis to donate jersey to HOF The ASSOCIATED PRESS COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. – Mo’ne Davis’ performance in the Little League World Series has earned her a place in baseball’s Hall of Fame.

The 13-year-old Davis plans to donate the jersey she wore last month when she pitched a two-hit shutout, becoming the first girl to win a game at the LLWS. She will visit the Hall today with her Little Mo’ne Davis League teammates from Philadelphia’s Taney Dragons and the Anderson Monarchs, her longtime travel team.

Mamie “Peanut” Johnson, one of three women to play in the Negro Leagues, also plans to attend.

Davis and her teammates are scheduled to play the Catskill Mountain Cougars under-12 team from Stamford, New York, in an exhibition game today at Doubleday Field.

WEEK 4: PACKERS AT BEARS, NOON SUNDAY, FOX, AM-780, 105-9-FM

Packers look to repeat success against Bears

By ARTHUR ARKUSH aarkush@chicagofootball.com LAKE FOREST – The Bears’ recent history against the Packers – eight losses in 10 meetings, including the gut-wrenching final minute defeat at Soldier Field in Week 17 that cost them a division title – isn’t pretty.

Neither was Detroit’s before its unprecedented Week 3 victory, the Lions’ first against the Packers when Aaron Rodgers went the distance.

But the NFL’s co-receiving leader, Jordy Nelson, said Wednesday that his team isn’t panicking despite one of the worst offensive outings of the

Rodgers era in Week 3. The reason?

“Just knowing that we’ve been through it before,” Nelson said.

“We’ve been 1-2 the last two years, so it’s early. Every year is different, every team is different, so we just got to figure out what’s going to work for this team, this year, and ride with that.”

Green Bay’s recent success at Soldier Field, Nelson said, might give the Packers confidence, but he knows that history guarantees nothing, especially with all the changes both teams have undergone. One such change is the arrival of outstanding rookie Kyle Fuller, who should see plenty of action Sunday lined up

across from Nelson.

“He’s doing a great job,” Nelson said. “He’s attacking, and that’s what Chicago has always done. You can tell they teach it and preach it there. … He has a knack for getting the ball out, making interceptions, making plays.”

Packers coach Jordy Nelson Mike McCarthy also highlighted the presence of the Bears’ infusion of veterans up front as something that’s caught his eye.

“Jared Allen – we have a lot of history with Jared, an outstanding foot-

ball player and the same player from his time over there in Minnesota,” McCarthy said. “Lamarr Houston has been really impressive on film.

Willie Young is another man that we’ve always had a lot of respect for from his time in Detroit.”

Sure to catch the Bears’ eye will be a familiar friend-turned-foe, Julius Peppers, who’s been one of Green Bay’s most effective pass rushers, and in Detroit earned his first sack and takeaway in Green and Gold.

“He’s been an excellent fit for us; a true pro,” McCarthy said.

Opponents largely have dictated how Peppers has been used, according to McCarthy. In recent weeks,

when Green Bay has shown more 4-3 alignments, the end-turned-outside linebacker has spent the majority of his time rushing from left end.

In addition to containing Peppers, if the Bears are to win Sunday, their new veterans must prevent the Packers from finding the rhythm that Nelson admitted was missing last week in Detroit.

One thing McCarthy seemed sure of – even if it appears otherwise when watching the tape – is that Rodgers won’t start pressing in an attempt to spark the offense.

“He dials into it the same way pretty much each and every week,” he said.

INJURY REPORT

McClellin ruled out against Packers

Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford is pressured by Packers outside linebacker Julius Peppers during the second half of Sunday’s game in Detroit.

Peppers to face Bears for 1st time since being released • PEPPERS Continued from page B1 “I’m not talking about coming from Chicago, but in general, sometimes you get a little complacent, sometimes you get a little bored with what you’re doing.

“Change is good. Change is good, for sure.”

The Bears will feel the brunt of those changes Sunday.

For nearly 20 minutes, Peppers sat at his locker, just a few down from star linebacker Clay Matthews and several from Rodgers.

A one-on-one sitdown ballooned into a group scrum with cameras and questions about dropping into coverage and finally dwindled back into a one-on-one chat.

He’s thoughtful and informative throughout.

Was Peppers bitter over how things ended with the Bears?

“Na, na, na, na, na na, na,” Peppers said. “It’s a part of the business that I’ve dealt with a couple of times before. I wasn’t surprised. I wasn’t bitter. I wasn’t any of those things.

“It’s just something you understand is going to happen one day.

You just have to deal with it the right way.”

That meant signing a three-year contract with the Packers, which included a $7.5 million signing bonus.

He would have a chance to win and a chance to use his freakish abilities in the Packers’ “elephant” position, which combines the skills of an outside linebacker and a pass rusher.

“It’s a part of the business that I’ve dealt with a couple of times before. I wasn’t surprised. I wasn’t bitter. I wasn’t any of those things. It’s just something you understand is going to happen one day. You just have to deal with it the right way.”

Julius Peppers Green Bay Packers outside linebacker, on not being re-signed by the Bears He would get to do many things again, unlike in 2013.

Peppers said he was used differently under coordinator Mel Tucker and line coach Mike Phair (who was later fired) last season – “I was strictly on the outside on the right side,” he said – than in his first three with Lovie Smith and Rod Marinelli.

“Rod had a specific role that he wanted me to be used in,” Peppers said. “And that included going inside, outside and being all over the place.

“Last year, it wasn’t as much.”

In 2013, Peppers went without a sack in 11 of 16 games and had three games where game statisticians didn’t even credit him with a tackle.

His practice time became monitored and everything about him was questioned. He seemed destined for release and later was with a looming cap hit of more than $18 million coming.

“Expectations are always what you have done for me lately in the league,” Peppers said. “That’s what it is. That’s not anything new. That doesn’t take any adjusting. That’s been there. It’s always going to be there.”

Left tackle Jermon Bushrod

can recall every time he’s faced Peppers, starting in 2009, when he first started for the Saints and Peppers already had four Pro Bowls on his resumé with the Panthers.

But he knows Sunday will be different. “[Three]-4 guys are always really with their hands,” Bushrod said.

“He was really good with his hands when he was in a 4-3.

“Now, he has an opportunity to be up in a two-point (stance) and move around, be strong with his hands with good leverage.”

But he’ll still put his hand in the dirt.

On Sunday, Peppers, in a threepoint stance, raced past Lions right tackle Garrett Reynolds, sacked Matthew Stafford, forced a fumble and recovered it.

“It shows how athletic he is, do the drops, coverages and everything like that,” right tackle Jordan Mills said. “It doesn’t’ matter how long you’ve been in the league. Someone of the caliber of a Julius Peppers, you have to prepare well.”

Packers linebackers coach Winston Moss said the changes for Peppers aren’t done at “a complicated level,” citing Peppers’ past

IT’S ALL ABOUT DRIVE $

experiences in coverage during firezone blitzes.

“I played basketball,” Peppers said. “It was a long time ago, but it’s like riding a bike, playing in space, moving around in space. It’s something I’m pretty comfortable doing.

It’s not that hard.”

It’s just doing it more now. The Packers have featured him all over the field after he was “a little more stationary” for the Bears, Moss said.

To handle it all, Peppers’ made the decision to cut a few pounds.

“I felt I was a little heavy last year and the year prior to that,” said Peppers, who plays around 285 pounds. “So I decided just to cut a couple pounds.

“It’s been helping with my ability to move out there, lateral movements and later quickness and also a little bit of endurance and stamina.”

It’s worked, so far.

According to Pro Football Focus’ reviews, Peppers rates as the Packers’ best pass rusher, with four quarterback hits and six hurries to go with his sack.

Peppers said he likes being part of a “pass-rushing group” instead of the focal point. But that hasn’t shortened Peppers’ playing time.

He played 77 percent of the Packers’ defensive snaps against Detroit.

“Even though we’re a defense working through some consistency,” Moss said, “we’re pleased with what Peppers has done.”

And it’s just the start.

“It’s comfortable here,” Peppers said. “I’ve got guys here to lean on and guys that have been here and won games. I’m very comfortable here.”

LAKE FOREST – The Bears generally have been waiting until the last minute to rule out players publicly, but coach Marc Trestman said Wednesday linebacker Shea McClellin will not play Sunday against the Green Bay Packers.

McClellin injured his hand in practice last week and missed the New York Jets game Monday. In Week 10 last season, he had three sacks in Green Bay and was named the NFC’s Defensive Player of the Week. Jon Bostic started for McClellin Shea McClellin against the Jets and will continue to do so from the strongside linebacker position.

The Bears did not practice Wednesday after Monday night’s game. Instead, they had a 90-minute closed walkthrough, but still had to release a hypothetical injury report.

Jared Allen (illness), Tony Fiammetta (hamstring), Roberto Garza (ankle), Brandon Marshall (ankle), Sherrick McManis (quad), Jeremiah Ratliff (concussion) and Matt Slauson (ankle) would not have practiced.

Trestman said he was “not optimistic” about Garza and Slauson returning this week, “But it is possible they could be ready to go on Thursday and Friday at practice. But it’s day-to-day and we’ll stay with the injury report on that.”

They have not practiced since suffering ankle injuries in Week 1.

The only player who was a surprise DNP to monitor closely would be Allen. Ratliff traveled to the Monday night game in New York, potentially a good sign for his stage in the concussion protocol.

Starting safeties Ryan Mundy (shoulder) and Chris Conte (shoulder) would have been limited if the Bears practiced. That’s a good sign for both players’ availability for Sunday’s game against the Packers. Mundy told reporters Wednesday that he expects to play against the Packers.

Trevor Scott, who missed Monday’s game with a foot injury suffered against the 49ers in Week 2, was not on the injury report.

Brad Jones, Nick Perry and Clay Matthews were listed as limited participants in Packers practice.

The Khasma Duo

NIU hosts Khasma Duo The Northern Illinois University School of Music will host guest artists, the Khasma Duo, in a recital of new and recent music for piano duet (one piano, four hands). The recital will take place at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 2 in the Recital Hall of the Music Building located at 400 Lucinda Ave. on the campus of NIU. The Khasma Duo was formed in 2012 by Ashlee Mack and Katherine Palumbo. The two pianists have been playing together for several years since meeting as undergraduates at Bucknell University in 2000. Because they share a passion for contemporary music, the duo has dedicated themselves to the performance of works from the 20th and 21st centuries.

In March 2014, Khasma performed at

the National Conference of the Society of Composers Inc. at Ball State University. Upcoming concerts include performances at Knox College, University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, Frostburg State University, and the Eastman School of Music. The programs will feature works chosen from their 2014 Call for Scores. For more information, visit www.khasmapianoduo.com.

The concert is free and open to the public and the Recital Hall is accessible to all. For more information, call David Maki at 815-753-7699.

She is a huge fan of colorful surrealism and tattoo art. She said she draws her ideas and references from nature, philosophical matters,

gothic beauty and Greek mythology.

The Artist Co-op was started by Fae Lynch of Sycamore to bring art out into the community. The group welcomes new artists. To join, call Fae Lynch at 815-899-9612.

Auditions scheduled for ‘9 to 5: The Musical’ Stage Coach Players will hold auditions for “9 to 5: The Musical” on Oct. 4 through 6 at Immanuel Lutheran Church, 511 Russell Road in DeKalb.

Auditions will be held from 1 to 4 p.m.

Saturday and 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Sunday and Monday.

Auditioners should be prepared to sing 16 measures of a song not from the musical (an accompanist will be provided), present a cold-read from the script, and dance.

The director is Dan Hyde, with musical direction by Judy O’Connor.

Performances will be March 12-22 at Stage Coach Theater in DeKalb.

Set in the late 1970s, this hilarious story of friendship and revenge in the Rolodex era is outrageous, thoughtprovoking, and even a little romantic.

Pushed to the boiling point, three female co-workers concoct a plan to get even with their sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical boss. While he

remains “otherwise engaged,” the women give their workplace a dream makeover, taking control of the company that had always kept them down.

This high-energy show is ideal for a large, mostly female cast, but also has opportunities for talented male singers with opportunities for dancing.

For information, call Stage Coach Players at 815-758-1940 or visit stagecoachers.com. The music and lyrics are by Dolly Parton and the book is by Patricia Resnick. “9 to 5: The Musical” is based on the 20th Century Fox Picture and was originally produced on Broadway by Robert Greenblatt, April 2009.

Wooden sculpture, functional and decorative, on display The September art exhibit at the DeKalb Area Women’s Center galleries is “Wood Is Good,” by William E. Mitchell, retired art educator at Clinton Rosette Middle School in DeKalb.

Mitchell has both decorative and functional wood sculptures displayed which he has purchased, recycled, pruned, or sawed from declining trees. The brilliant colors in geometric patterns have become his trademark in the small scale sculptures as well as in the furniture he creates in the form of

end tables.

Mitchell says that he never met a color of wood or type of grain that he didn’t like.

“Colors and grains are infinitely variable and alterable with stain, varnish, or other surface treatments,” he said in a news release. “Paint and a variety of materials, metals, plastics, multiple kinds of wood may successfully work together resulting in outstanding artistic outcomes.”

The DAWC Great Hall Exhibition Space is free and open to the public for viewing from 7 to 9 p.m. Friday or by appointment. Works are available for sale.

Parking is on-street and in the lot south of the 1021 State St. building at 415 N. 11th St. For more information, contact gallery director Anna Marie Coveny at 815-758-1351 or dawc@niu.edu.

Digital images inspired by fiber arts on display From Oct. 5 through Nov. 8, “Dreams Caught,” an exhibition of original digital visual art compositions by local DeKalb artist Renie B. Adams, will be on display at The Art Box, 308 E. Lincoln Highway in downtown DeKalb. An opening reception is scheduled from 2 to 4 p.m. Oct. 5.

Many of the images created

by Adams in this exhibition are digital sketches relating to her work in fiber art, which began in the 1960s. Her early works in woven and constructed textiles were abstract studies in color and pattern. Eventually, she wanted to make pictures in threads, and found that she could do it in embroidery, free of technical constraints, much like a painter. Even though she loved paintings, she had no patience for the process.

Stitching, on the other hand, is meditative, and she produced many pieces over 35 years, at which time her hands began to hurt. She then became engrossed in making digital pictures, finishing digital sketches and making new pictures and picture books.

forming them into abstract and entertaining, often silly, narratives. Sometimes the images would be worked out through intuition, scribbles or happy accidents, finding a form that captures a dream.

Interpreting the meaning of the picture may be somewhat vague or incomplete, but each title is a smile guaranteed.

Adams is professor emeritus from the School of Art – Fiber at Northern Illinois University. She has enjoyed international recognition for her works in narrative embroidered pictures, which are in public collections including the Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Renwick Gallery at the Smithsonian Institution, Washington D.C., and the Wustum Museum of Fine Arts, Racine, WisconProvided photo sin.

Golden age of Athens discussed at lecture ALPHA: Friends of Antiquity will present a lecture on ancient Athens at 7:30 p.m.

Oct. 2 in Room 102 of Jack Arends Visual Arts Building on the Northern Illinois University campus.

Professor Dimitri Liakos will discuss “The Golden Age of Athens and the Miracle of the Athenians as Manifested on the Undying Monuments of the Acropolis of Athens: ‘The Classical Moment’.”

In the long history of humankind, “The Classical Moment” is a short, very brief moment when Athens, and specifically the citizens of Athens, demonstrated most dynamically the cultural and intellectual superi-

‘Think Out of the Box’ the theme for art league meeting Kishwaukee Valley Art League will feature members’ works of art supporting the theme “Think Out Of The Box” at the Oct. 2 meeting.

Bob Coleman joined KVAL last year and recently won first place awards in Belvidere for his woodcarving. Coleman began making walking sticks just three years ago, but others soon noticed the remarkable carved faces he created and encouraged him to show his work as an artisan.

KVAL alternates a challenge to member artisans with an artist demonstration at each monthly meeting. The meeting will be held at 7 p.m. in the Club Room at HyVee, 2700 DeKalb Ave. in Sycamore and is open to the public.

KVAL is committed to promoting local artists and dedicated to the development of upcoming artists in the Kishwaukee Valley area. Visit www.kval.us or www. facebook.com/kval.us for more information. Hy-Vee and Waste Management are patron members of KVAL.

ority of their city in many fields. It was during this brief “Classical Moment” when Athenians introduced and established the art of politics, the ideal of freedom and Athenian democracy.

The birth of democracy in ancient Athens signaled the future birth of democracy, not only in Europe but also in most countries. The introduction of democracy was a most important contribution, among other significant contributions of ancient Athens, which included the visual and performing arts.

The lecture is free and open to the public. Before the lecture an informal dinner will be held at Hillside

Restaurant, 121 N. Second St., DeKalb. Call Liakos at 815787-6478 for a reservation.

Founded in 1971, ALPHA is dedicated to the study of the archaeology, literature, philosophy, history and art of the ancient world.

Ron Model�,

founder and director of the nationally acclaimed NIU Jazz Ensemble, will have a book signing of his recently released memoir, “Loved Bein’ Here With You”. Enjoy refreshments while listening to live Jazz.

4 ADVICE & PUZZLES • Thursday, September 25, 2014 • Section C • Daily Chronicle / Daily-Chronicle.com

Man’s illusion of perfect marriage shattered Dear Abby: I always thought that “Lana,” my wife of 14 years, and I had the perfect marriage. When I discovered she was having an affair, it hit me like a train wreck.

After many weeks of trying to discover who she really is, I found out she has had several affairs throughout our marriage.

I still love my wife and feel I could forgive her and regain my trust in her. The problem is, she says she is trying to recover from her actions, so she can no longer hear about my problems or respond to any of my questions.

Lana is now saying I need to see someone to discuss our issues with. We are already seeing a marriage counselor, but I suspect he is too con-

– you may be able to rationally decide whether your wife is capable of being the person you assumed she was, and if staying married to her is the best thing for you.

Dear Abby: My mother died a few years ago after a prolonged illness. My father has found a new lady (“Colette”) to share his life, and they are now engaged.

My problem is my sisters.

We are all adults with families of our own. They don’t like Colette at all. They are rude to her and behave like spoiled children. Colette is very different from Mom, but our family has always been open-minded and taken pride in our conviction that “normal” is just a setting on the dryer.

Colette isn’t after Dad’s

money, nor is she forcing her way into our lives. She’s also not trying to replace Mom. It appears she genuinely cares for our dad, which I can understand. He’s a good man, smart, attractive and fun to be with.

Dad is happy as a clam.

He’s enjoying life and has lots more life to live. The only thing that mars his happiness is my sisters’ attitudes. What can I do to help them? I don’t want to be too harsh because I know they are still grieving, but I hate to see them drive a wedge into what remains of our family. – Joy in Texas Dear Joy: Please accept my sympathy for the loss of your mother. Perhaps you should remind your sisters how grateful they should be that

What do you think? – Lost in Limbo Dear In Limbo: I think the marriage counselor should have made clear to you and your wife that in order for trust to be rebuilt it takes LOTS of dialogue and listening on the part of both spouses.

That said, I think she is correct in suggesting you talk to someone individually.

your father has been able to find happiness after losing your mother. Not all widowers are able to do that. Stress that his desire to remarry is a tribute to the relationship he had with your mother, because men who had unfulfilling marriages usually don’t want to commit again.

Point out that they have nothing to gain by alienating Colette and a lot to lose, because the more they treat her with disrespect, the farther away they will drive her – and your dad. Then suggest that if they can’t resolve their grief, they join a support group or consult a therapist for help.

Dear Dr. K: My husband’s

doctor suspects that he has Alzheimer’s disease and wants him to have neuropsychological testing. What will these tests involve?

Dear Reader: There is no single test that can diagnose Alzheimer’s disease. In fact, a doctor cannot make the diagnosis with absolute confidence without studying the brain under the microscope, which is rarely done except in an autopsy.

Alzheimer’s disease is diagnosed presumptively by a combination of different types of evidence. The disease typically has a slowly progressive onset.

Indeed, a very important part of making a presumptive diagnosis of Alzheimer’s is first ruling out many other

to follow instructions or describe a picture in writing.

• Spatial Ability. This involves analyzing visual information – shapes, faces, and routes between locations on a map, for example. Tests may include drawing and copying designs, solving maze puzzles, and putting blocks together to construct a specific pattern.

Neuropsych testing cannot, alone, definitively diagnose Alzheimer’s disease.

However, the testing results, along with the medical history, brain-imaging studies and other evidence, can give the doctor pretty strong evidence for or against Alzheimer’s. I hope the testing turns out in your husband’s favor.

I took your advice; he never bothered me again Dr. Wallace: I am the 14-year-old boy who wrote to you some time ago and told you that I hated school and was thinking about running away, or even worse, because a boy at school was picking on me every day. He demanded my lunch money, and if I didn’t give it to him he used me as a punching bag. I had gone to my school counselor and even the principal, but they didn’t do anything. Even though I was fairly big, I was known as a sissy. I would just take it and never fight back.

You told me to stand up for myself and to defend myself the next time I was bullied. The next time was the

I want to thank you for your advice. I was suspended from school for two days, but it was well worth it. The bully also got a two-day suspension.

guy has never bothered me again. In fact, he now talks to me once in a while and I am totally civil toward him.

After you printed my letter and gave me your advice, I noticed the column where a lot of people did not like it that you told me to fight back. It’s easy for them to disagree with you and to say that fighting is never the best way to solve a problem. But they were not in my situation. At times, when I was being pounded and robbed, the thought of ending my life flashed in my mind more than once. Now that thought is gone forever.

Dr. Wallace, I will always be grateful for your advice. –

TODAY – This year will be a dynamic one if you are prepared to take on new challenges. Your talents will go to waste if you are too casual in presenting what you have to offer. Strive to get ahead by honing your skills and mastering the arts of promotion and networking.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – You have the ability to influence others to do things your way. Once you have determined what you need, initiate a discussion with people in a position to help you out.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – You will waste time if you are bouncing back and forth between different tasks. Formulate a concrete plan and cross off each step as you move along. Organization will lead to success.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – An unusual pathway will reveal itself via a new acquaintance. You will reap the benefits from something you’ve been working on for a long time. Minor health issues will cause a setback.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – There will be tension in your personal relationships. Rather than try to influence those around you, let them do their own thing. Occupy yourself with a personal project instead.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – A partnership with someone you admire will produce lucrative results. Be ready to act when the opportunity arises. Engage in projects that you can do with someone you love. Romance looks promising.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Practical matters will keep you busy.

Save yourself some anguish by clearing up health or legal issues as soon as they crop up. A renovation venture will bring favorable results.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – If you feel something needs to be said, speak up. Your frankness may catch a colleague off-guard, but most people will admire your honesty.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Be optimistic, and leave the past behind. Focus on the positive people and activities in your life, and reject negative thoughts and people who bring you down.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Take a pleasure trip. Unfamiliar surroundings will spark your creative imagination and influence your way of thinking. A novel direction appears to be possible. Embrace new beginnings.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Don’t rush into a delicate situation.

Remain in control and try to find an arrangement that will be agreeable and fair to everyone concerned. Your candor will be appreciated.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – You’ll be distressed about business deals, financial issues or health matters. Don’t confide in a close friend when going to an experienced source for advice is what’s required.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – If you investigate an interesting career possibility, you could find a way to instigate some forward motion.

It’s up to you to make things happen.

Mario, Houston, Texas Mario: When I was a high school administrator, I did all in my authority to thwart bullying. Over the years, I had many meetings with bullies and their parents. On a second offense, the punishment was always severe.

Unfortunately, sometimes school authorities don’t realize what’s going on and fail to act. When this is the case, the victim is on his own. This is a frightening and complex situation that cannot be solved by a formulaic answer, even one as noble as “turn the other cheek,” which some interpret as meaning “avoid confrontation at all costs.”

This simply won’t work.

I say this as a proponent of nonviolence. But I also believe that when ignoring bullies does not work, you have to speak to bullies in a language they understand. You did so by fighting back. I’m thrilled that your problem is solved.

The act of standing your ground – whether or not you get in the most punches – is always the ultimate deterrent to a bully because it establishes your determination not to be pushed around. And it does wonders for your self-esteem, as you have discovered.

CROSSWORD

Ann Landers said, “One out of four people in this country is mentally unbalanced.

Think of your three closest friends; if they seem OK, then you’re the one.”

Earlier this week, we saw deals in which a balanced fit (both partners had the same number of cards in it) was a better trump suit than an unbalanced. And that will usually be the case. But one time when a 4-4 fit is not best occurs when the trump holding is weak, resulting in an inevitable loser or two, and there are discards available from the other two side suits for those losers if it is the third side suit. This is typically the case in a slam – as in this deal.

When North opens one no-trump, South, with only a five-loser hand, should immediately be thinking about a slam. He uses Stayman and learns of the 4-4 spade fit.

But rather than opt immediately for that suit as trumps, he sensibly shows his club suit first. North rebids three hearts to indicate values in that suit and, by inference, weak diamonds. After that, the auction gets a tad murky around the edges, but South should prefer his strong clubs to those pitiful spades.

In six spades, North must lose one spade and one heart (and would go down two if spades broke 4-1). However, six clubs has 12 tricks: two spades, two hearts, two diamonds and six clubs.

Finally, note that if NorthSouth play transfers into the minors, there would be a strong case for South’s ignoring the spade suit and immediately transferring into clubs.
