County deputies face discipline Fatal Kingston police chase prompts sheriff ’s actions

By KATIE SMITH ksmith@shawmedia.com DeKALB – The DeKalb County Merit Commission is considering firing one sheriff’s deputy and suspending another for policy violations during

a March police chase that resulted in the death of a Kingston man.

About 20 people gathered at the DeKalb Community Outreach Building on Thursday in support of the two officers, who DeKalb County Sheriff Roger

Scott said violated a number of policies during the chase.

The commission spent the evening reviewing evidence regarding Scott’s recommendation to fire Deputy Meagan Pettengell and suspend Sgt. Ryan Pettengell for 60 days without

pay.

The Pettengells, who are married, handled the response to a 911 call March 30 that led to the pursuit of Jeffrey S. Nissen, 25, who died after the chase.

Meagan Pettengell and Ryan Pettengell listen as a witness testifies Thursday during the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office Merit Commission special meeting.

Called back to DeKalb Barbs past and present mark homecoming week with parade, events

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN bkeeperman@shawmedia.com DeKALB – High schoolers and Barbs alumni alike paraded through DeKalb on Thursday to celebrate homecoming week.

The parade kicked off at Clinton-Rosette Middle School. Floats and banner-waving groups touted the school’s clubs and activities – from the Pom-Pom squad to the French Club – as they made their way through neighborhoods and downtown DeKalb, tossing candy to enthusiastic spectators. After the parade, participants scattered to head back to the high school for a homecoming assembly and Powder Puff football game.

Sophomore Amanda Powers said she was excited to be on the volleyball team’s float this year.

It was the first time she’s been in the parade because last year the parade was canceled. When it comes to homecoming festivities in general, so far so good, she said, “We have Spirit Week, so I’ve been dressing up for each day and everything,” she said. “We had a carnival yesterday and all of these different activities, so that was a lot of fun, it was like the whole school and we all just had a good time.”

SYCAMORE – It’s been a tumultuous year in DeKalb County, and County Board Chairman Mark Pietrowski Jr., aimed to recap it all at the first State of the County address Thursday.

“While our minutes are online, not a lot of people will go through each month’s minutes,” Pietrowski said after the meeting, “so this is a way to put it all together.”

About a dozen residents, including County Board members and other public officials from around the area attended the event to hear Pietrowski’s highlights of what the county has experienced.

He said the biggest event for the county this past year was the April 9 tornado that destroyed the tiny community of Fairdale. He showed aerial photos of the path of devastation the EF4 tornado left behind, as well as some of the recent rebuilding efforts.

“I myself walked the community that day after, and these pictures are nothing compared to seeing the power of what the tornado did while walking around the area,” he said during the presentation.

“The county came together, though, and I was amazed at the hours of dedication put in by our county employees and volunteers.”

On the budget side, only $400,000 was taken out of the reserve funds this fiscal year, a feat accomplished by making $800,000 in spending cuts, Pietrowski said.

“We’re prepared for next year as a board to take nothing out of our reserve funds. We’ve committed to that as a board,” Pietrowski said. “After next year, we’re going to start putting money back into our reserve system. We have that reserve because of the forward thinking from previous boards, and we want to make sure it’s there.”

Other items of note included the Cupcake Law – making it easier for people to run businesses from home kitchens, road work, purchasing a sober living home for men in Sycamore for the county drug court, and working toward establishing an enterprise zone in the county.

DeKalb High School Class of 1975 alumni greet spectators Thursday during the homecoming parade.

Homecoming week soon will come to a close, but the most anticipated events still loom – tonight’s football game at 7:30 p.m. against Kaneland at DeKalb High School and Saturday’s dance, Powers said.

“Those are the big things that everyone goes to,” she said. “It’ll be a lot of fun.”

Homecoming is all about two things for sophomore and defensive end Nick Diaz – friends and football.

“We’ve been getting ready for homecoming for about two weeks, preparing to play the team we’re going to go against and getting ready for the parade,” Diaz said. “The best part really is hav-

ing fun with your peers and setting up as a team to be ready for the game.”

Members of the DeKalb High School Class of 1975 also had a spot in the parade Thursday, riding on their float, dressed in orange.

Pope, after speech, arrives in New York

By NICOLE WINFIELD and ERICA WERNER The Associated Press

By DAVID MERCER SPRINGFIELD – An Illinois House committee on Thursday passed a plan that would finance at least some of the state services not being paid for during the state budget stalemate – emergency food assistance, mental health and other social services as well as prizes for big lottery winners. But Gov. Bruce Rauner has said he’ll veto the bill.

But Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s plan to raise property taxes to pay for underfunded police and firefighter pensions received a chilly reception from lawmakers asked to consider a property tax exemption that would be part of it.

The funding bill for human services was passed by the House Executive Committee on a 7-0 vote and sends the $3.8 billion spending plan to the full House. The money

New York Times via AP

Pope Francis waves to the assembled crowd from the Speakers Balcony on Thursday at the U.S. Capitol with members of Congress in Washington after he addressed a joint meeting of Congress. of Independence Hall and celebrates Mass on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway.

At the Capitol, the remarkable sight of the pope speaking in the House chamber seemed to delight lawmakers of all persuasions, though he offered an agenda more to Democrats’ liking. Besides his focus on climate change and immigration, he denounced arms sales and seemed to allude approvingly to the Iran nuclear deal and recent actions by President Barack Obama’s administration to open relations with Cuba, done with his urging.

Republicans, too, heard something to like in his references to the sanctity of life and family relations, reminders that even the more open Catholic Church over which Francis presides still condemns abortion and gay marriage.

For all the spectacle, it seemed unlikely the pope’s visit would break congressional inertia on the issues dear to him, with no action in sight from the Republican majority on global warming or immigration.

But Francis, in his historic speech, seemed determined to remind the United States of its foundations as a country made up of foreigners, addressing the chamber and the American people beyond in personal terms as a son of immigrants to “this great continent.”

“We must resolve now to

live as nobly and as justly as possible as we educate new generations not to turn their back on our neighbors and everything around us,” he said.

“We must not be taken aback by their numbers but rather view them as persons, seeing their faces and listening to their stories, trying to respond as best we can to their situation.”

After the address, Francis appeared high on a Capitol balcony and addressed a cheering crowd of thousands below on the lawn and the Mall beyond who had watched his speech on giant TV screens.

“Buenos dias,” he called out in the language of his native Argentina and millions of U.S. immigrants, legal and not.

The crowd thundered its response.

Francis asked the crowd to pray for him, as he always does. But speaking in Spanish, he added a line to acknowledge that not everyone there was a believer.

“If among you there are some who don’t believe or who cannot pray, I ask that you send good wishes my way,” he said, to tumultuous applause.

“God bless America!” he concluded, as he had in the House chamber.

After leaving the Capitol, the pope brought encouragement to a much smaller group: a gathering of homeless and

needy people at St. Patrick’s Church and Catholic Charities in Washington. He decried a lack of housing for the poor and declared there is “no justification whatsoever” for homelessness.

New York was next in his jam-packed tour, which began last weekend in Cuba and included a White House ceremony and Washington parade in his popemobile on Wednesday. Late Thursday, he was to preside over a vespers service at St. Patrick’s Cathedral.

Today, at the United Nations, he is sure to make many of the points emphasized in Washington – a need for openness to immigrants and for the world to share its riches with the needy.

At the Capitol in Washington, the packed House chamber included Supreme Court justices, Cabinet officials and lawmakers of both major political parties, some of whom bowed their heads in deference as Francis walked down the center aisle to approach the dais where presidents deliver their State of the Union speeches.

“Mr. Speaker, the pope of the Holy See,” bellowed the sergeant at arms.

Behind the pope sat Democratic Vice President Joe Biden and Republican House Speaker John Boehner, the first and second in line to the presidency, both Catholics.

TODAY’S TALKER

NEW YORK – Pope Francis plunged into the melting pot of New York after reminding the country of its immigrant origins in the first papal speech before Congress on Thursday.

Thousands of people lined the streets leading to St. Patrick’s Cathedral to greet the popular pontiff, cheering, waving flags and adoringly chanting his name, as his motorcade slowly drove by and he gestured toward them from his popemobile.

On the steps of the recently spruced up cathedral, dignitaries including Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Mayor Bill de Blasio and U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer welcomed him.

Over an intense 40 hours set to start with a sunset evening prayer service at St. Patrick’s, the pope will address world leaders at the United Nations, participate in an interfaith service at the Sept. 11 memorial museum at ground zero and celebrate Mass at Madison Square Garden. The pope, who’s making his first trip to the United States, also planned to visit a school today and take a processional drive through Central Park.

In Washington earlier Thursday, the pope had waded into bitter disputes while speaking to Congress, entreating the nation to share its immense wealth with those less fortunate. He urged Congress and the nation to abolish the death penalty, fight global warming and embrace immigrants. Lawmakers gave rousing ovations to the leader of the world’s Catholics despite obvious disagreements over some of his pleas.

After he addressed Congress, the first pontiff to do so, he underscored his message by traveling directly to a downtown Washington church, where he mingled with needy and homeless people, blessed their noontime meal and walked among them while they ate.

Soon after, he headed by plane to New York, second stop on his three-city first visit to the U.S. He addresses the U.N. today and wraps up his visit this weekend in Philadelphia, where he speaks in front

includes $1 billion from the state lottery fund to pay out winners who currently aren’t getting paid because of the budget stalemate.

Federal court orders require billions of dollars to be paid for service programs, but Rauner has nonetheless promised the veto as he and the Democratic lawmakers who control the General Assembly continue to disagree over how to pay for a state budget that was due July 1.

It also isn’t clear when the House will take up the funding bill. The House met weekly over the summer during what Speaker Michael Madigan has said would be a “continuous session” while the budget impasses lasted. But the next House sessions are now set for Oct. 20 and Nov. 10.

Rep. Greg Harris, one of the bill’s sponsors, told committee members Thursday that passing the bill was more fiscally responsible than al-

lowing state agencies to rack up bills for services they’re not currently able to pay.

“We have providers who are doing work that can’t even get paid now. For a lot of people this is very real in their lives today,” the Chicago Democrat said.

But some lawmakers questioned the wisdom of the bill before it was approved.

“I think it’s unfair to pass an appropriations bill that doesn’t have the revenue with it,” added Rep. Michael Tryon, a Republican from Crystal Lake. “I think it’s disingenuous to tell our providers that ‘Everything’s going to be OK, we passed an appropriations bill.’”

Emanuel’s plan to shore up Chicago’s finances through a $543 million increase in property taxes over four years would require state approval for an exemption the mayor wants to prevent the increase from affecting anyone whose home is worth $250,000 or

less.

No legislation has been introduced to provide that exemption, but Deputy Mayor Steven Koch pitched the ideas to the House Revenue and Finance Committee.

“The lion’s share of the burden would be borne by our thriving central business district,” Koch said, estimating that a quarter of the money raised would come from businesses in the Chicago Loop and surrounding areas.

But business groups said adding to the tax burden already carried by businesses might lead some to decide against adding staff, expanding or even being located in Chicago at all.

“Businesses already pay their fair share,” said Michael Reever, vice president of government relations for the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce. “We cannot stand for a greater shift of the property tax burden onto commercial and industrial property.”

Public hearing held on KishHealth merger

By BRETT ROWLAND browland@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Some DeKalb County residents raised concerns about mental health services in the area as Northwestern Memorial HealthCare prepares to take over ownership of KishHealth System.

At a public hearing Thursday before officials from the Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board, residents expressed concerns about how the proposed merger would affect mental health care services here.

“Mental health hasn’t been well taken care of by the [KishHealth System] administration and the board,” said Jack Bennett, a DeKalb resident who attended the hearing with his wife, Donna. He said he was skeptical that anything would change if KishHealth is folded into the much larger Chicago-based Northwestern Memorial.

Barry Schrader, a member

of DeKalb County Citizens for Better Mental Health Care, said the group wants assurances from Northwestern that mental health care services won’t further erode in DeKalb County.

He said Central DuPage Hospital in Winfield was too far away to serve DeKalb County patients.

Schrader and the group previously had opposed KishHealth’s decision to close its sixbed acute mental illness unit in 2009. KishHealth officials said the unit was underused and the review board ultimately gave the health system permission to shutter it.

Schrader also said he was concerned with what he considered excessive compensation for top KishHealth executives and how the health system’s employees would be affected by the merger. He said he was worried that KishHealth employees would lose their seniority and other accrued benefits when Northwestern Memorial takes over. KishHealth officials said

“Mental health hasn’t been well taken care of by the [KishHealth System] administration and the board,” said Jack Bennett, a DeKalb resident who attended a hearing before officials of the Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board with his wife, Donna, about the proposed merger between KishHealth System and Northwestern Memorial HealthCare Thursday at the DeKalb Municipal Building. those details have yet to be addressed as the deal hasn’t been completed.

Executives from both KishHealth and Northwestern said they were committed to providing mental health care and that the proposed merger would fill in service gaps that exist in DeKalb County.

“Filling our clinical gaps was the primary reason for pursuing an affiliation with Northwestern Memorial HealthCare,” said Dr. Michael Kulisz, KishHealth System’s chief medical officer.

Michael Flora, president and CEO of Ben Gordon Center, said he supported the proposed merger. KishHealth is in talks

to acquire the DeKalb-based nonprofit mental health provider before the end of the year.

“The Ben Gordon Center, like many other mental health providers across the state, is facing serious financial challenges due to changes and decreases in funding and an increase in need for the services we provide,” Flora said. “The pending Northwestern Memorial-KishHealth System affiliation means area individuals and families seeking mental health and substance abuse services will benefit from an organization that has vast experience, expertise and resources.”

Mike Vivoda, president of Northwestern’s west region, said Central DuPage Hospital is in the process of expanding its inpatient psychiatric facility from 15 beds to 48. The expansion is expected to be completed in October.

“Central DuPage Hospital in Winfield offers a complete continuum of inpatient and outpatient mental health services for

both adults and adolescents,” he said.

The merger would give KishHealth patients access to advanced specialty care and clinical trials at Northwestern Memorial’s facilities in Chicago and elsewhere, Vivoda said.

The proposed merger requires approval from the review board, which is tentatively scheduled to consider the change of ownership request at its Nov. 17 meeting.

Northwestern Memorial is set to close on the acquisition of KishHealth System, which includes Kishwaukee Hospital, Valley West Hospital and more than a dozen other area clinics and health facilities, by the end of the year, according to its application.

KishHealth System is valued at as much as $362 million, but the acquisition price will be zero, according to the change of ownership application submitted to the nine-member Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board.

State police report details DeKalb bribe investigation

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN bkeeperman@shawmedia.com DeKALB – DeKalb 7th Ward Alderwoman Monica O’Leary didn’t think there was any bribery afoot, but she told city officials about an incident involving campaign contributions after they threatened that she could go to jail, according to a report from Illinois State Police investigators.

The bribery report, made by City Attorney Dean Frieders, triggered a state police investigation that began June 22 and lasted until Sept. 3. No charges were filed as a result. DeKalb County State’s Attorney Rich-

ard Schmack previously told the Daily Chronicle the incident “didn’t rise to the level of a quid pro quo in exchange for a vote.” Schmack did not return calls seeking comment Thursday.

In a July 7 interview with state police investigators, O’Leary recounted being visited at her garage by City Manager Anne Marie Gaura and Frieders in June, records show.

“Frieders and Gaura advised they were contacted and they were told someone took a bribe regarding the University Village proposal,” the state investigators’ report reads.

“O’Leary advised Gaura and

Frieders threatened her with jail time if she did not disclose who made the offer to her.”

O’Leary said that Jim Mason, owner of Mason Properties, had requested she vote no on the University Village rezoning request. Mason made the request in December and told O’Leary he wanted to help her with her campaign, police records show.

No money was exchanged, and Mason denied offering campaign money for votes to police. O’Leary told police that she didn’t feel as if she was being bribed. Mason also said that he did not give O’Leary any money in any of her cam-

paigns and that he hoped the project was approved because it would help him in the future by setting a precedent.

According to police interview reports, O’Leary told Gaura in June that she had made up her mind to support the rezoning request.

Seattle-based development company Security Properties had requested the city rezone DeKalb’s largest low-income housing complex, the 534-unit University Village. Council members voted 5-3 to rezone the property Sept. 14, with O’Leary among the “yes” votes.

Security Properties’ Attorney Aaron Reinke sent an

email to Frieders about rumors of a bribe June 5.

“Allegedly, an outspoken critic of Security Properties’ proposal offered campaign donations to candidates in the last municipal election if the candidates promised to vote ‘no’ on the proposal,” Reinke wrote. “Obviously, we are deeply concerned. It is not my intent to raise this issue during the hearing, however, it may become relevant.”

Security Properties plans to invest $21 million into the housing complex and renovate it, addressing interior and exterior concerns, aging appliances and health and safety and se-

curity issues. DeKalb’s Planning and Zoning commission recommended the city oppose Security Properties’ plan to rezone the property largely due to concerns about the density of the property.

The City Council’s first-reading vote was challenged in court by John McKeon and Mason, who took legal action just days before the vote.

Judge William Brady denied a request for temporary restraining order and declined to provide a declaratory judgment on the matter.

O’Leary and Mason couldn’t be reached for comment Thursday.

Police: Gas station owner tries to arrange a stickup

By KATIE SMITH ksmith@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Police thwarted a Sandwich gas station owner’s plan to hire someone to rob his store by secretly recording him, according to court records.

Pareshbhai R. Patel, 40, of the 1000 block of Cindy Lane, Sandwich, asked another man to use a toy gun to rob his business, a Shell Gas Station at 222 W. Church St. Sandwich, in exchange for $1,500, court records show.

Patel is charged with solicitation to commit an

armed robbery and solicitation to commit an aggravated robbery. The most serious charge, solicitation to commit an armed robbery, is typically punishable by four to 15 years in prison. He was released from DeKalb County Jail after posting $5,000 bail Thursday.

Sandwich police, Kendall County Cooperative Police Assistance Team Task Force and DeKalb County State’s Attorney’s Office worked together to investigate the robbery-for-hire plot, which was supposed to happen within the next few

days, according to a news release.

Specific details of the crime, including when it would happen, what would be said, and how the individual would be paid, were recorded using special equipment, according to the news release.

Patel admitted to planning the robbery in an interview with police, court records show.

He is scheduled to appear in court Oct. 27.

Iowa-based telepharmacy company to open in northern Illinois village The ASSOCIATED PRESS MOUNT MORRIS – An Iowa-based telepharmacy company is opening a location in the northern Illinois village of Mount Morris and is in talks with other communities in the state.

Privately owned TelePharm of Iowa City has an offsite pharmacist inspect and verify prescriptions, which on-site technicians dispense.

Customers order in person or online and then pick up prescriptions. Customers also can speak with the off-site pharmacists. It already has an Illinois location in Lanark

in Carroll County, which opened July 31.

The Mount Morris location will be downtown and officials say they hope it will open in six to nine months.

The community hasn’t had a pharmacy since Felker Pharmacy closed several years ago.

The company is talking with municipal officials in other communities that may have a “pharmacy desert,” Sauk Valley newspapers reported.

TelePharm representative Greg Janes said the company is talking with officials in Ashton in Lee County and

Erie in Whiteside County and also has commitments from Sheffield in Bureau County, Cambridge in Henry County and Waterman in DeKalb County.

The company said its locations also plan to add medication therapy management, immunization clinics and health education sessions.

Economic Development Committee member Rob Urish told the village board Tuesday that Mount Morrison investors will fund $50,000 of the project and TelePharm has committed between $200,000 and $250,000.

University of Illinois clinic searches for escaped bird

URBANA – A University of Illinois clinic is looking for a bird of prey that escaped from its handler.

The University of Illinois Wildlife Clinic said the American kestrel named Thistle has one eye and can’t survive in the wild. The Champaign News-Gazette reported the bird escaped Wednesday morning and was last seen flying west from the veterinary complex in Urbana.

Thistle came to the clinic in May 2012 with an eye injury, and College of Veterinary Medicine spokeswoman Chris Beuoy said they have a state permit to keep her as an educational bird. Beuoy said the bird visits schools and goes to public events to educate people about the species.

The bird is about 7 inches tall and still has on leather bracelets and straps. Those who see the bird are asked to call 217-333-5300.

CHICAGO – The head of a Chicago church and his wife has been convicted of fraud for submitting false documents to secure hundreds of thousands of dollars in state subsidies for day care centers.

The Chicago Tribune reported Herman Jackson was found guilty Wednesday of wire fraud, mail fraud and lying to the FBI. His wife, Jannette Faria, was convicted of five fraud counts.

U.S. District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman ordered Jackson taken into custody and set sentencing for Dec. 21.

The 39-year-old Jackson was charged in 2012 with fraudulently obtaining state funds for child care centers operated through his Ark of Safety Apostolic Faith Temple. Prosecutors contended Jackson used the money to fuel a lavish lifestyle that included a leased Bentley.

Jackson, who represented himself at trial, claimed those who testified against him were liars.

Caterpillar says it could cut 10,000 jobs to reduce costs

By TOM MURPHY The Associated Press Caterpillar is planning another round of job cuts that could exceed 10,000 people through 2018, as the construction and mining equipment maker adjusts to downturns in key markets.

That could amount to more than 8 percent of the 126,800 employees it had globally as of June.

The Peoria company said Thursday that it will cut as many as 5,000 people mostly by the end of this year from its salaried and management workforce.

It then could cut thousands more, raising the total above 10,000, as it figures out which factories and manufacturing sites to close through 2018.

Caterpillar also said Thursday that it was dropping its 2015 revenue outlook by $1 billion, and its profit forecast will take a hit as well.

Caterpillar makes diesel and natural gas engines, industrial gas turbines and diesel-electric locomotives, aside from construction and mining equipment. Several sectors that it serves have been hit by problems beyond the company’s control.

Low oil prices have hurt the company’s Energy & Transportation business, which makes products used in oil and gas production. Caterpillar said its construction equipment sales have fallen far below peak levels in North America, Latin America, Europe and the Middle East.

Mining equipment sales have stayed well below a level considered normal for customers

replacing or upgrading their equipment.

The company has been hurt, in particular, by a slowdown in China’s construction boom.

That contributed to a 21 percent drop in Caterpillar’s Asia-Pacific region sales during the second quarter.

Caterpillar has been cutting costs to counter those problems.

But the company also had kept a more positive outlook than its competitors about its end markets for much of this year, said Kwame Webb, an analyst who covers Caterpillar for Morningstar.

“I’m sort of surprised it took them so long to come to this point,” he said after the cuts were announced.

Caterpillar executives said Thursday in a statement that industries like mining, oil and gas and construction are the right businesses to be in for the long term, even with a history that includes prolonged downturns.

Caterpillar now expects 2015 revenue of about $48 billion, and it said 2016 sales should be about 5 percent lower.

Analysts expect, on average, revenue of $48.93 billion this year, according to FactSet. The company didn’t update its 2015 profit forecast, but it noted that the lower sales outlook and higher restructuring costs will hurt its bottom line.

It said it would provide an update when it releases third-quarter results in late October.

Caterpillar brought in brought in $55.18 billion in

The company said the job cuts announced Thursday and other expense reductions are expected to help lower operating costs by around $1.5 billion.

Caterpillar has trimmed its total workforce by more than 31,000 since the middle of 2012.

Caterpillar Inc. It also has closed or laid out plans to close more than 20 manufacturing locations since 2013.

Peoria Mayor Jim Ardis said Thursday that he expects the city and region to absorb a sizable hit from the latest round of job cuts, though he said the company has not shared specifics.

Caterpillar said in February that it had decided to keep its global headquarters in Peoria after considering other locations. It said then that it would expand and modernize the complex. Chairman and CEO Doug Oberhelman wrote Thursday in a guest column for the Peoria Journal-Star that plans for the new headquarters “still stand, although given current conditions we can’t say when the project will begin.”

Shares of Caterpillar Inc. sank more than 6 percent, or $4.49, to $65.71 Thursday afternoon, while broader indexes dropped nearly 1 percent. Caterpillar’s stock price had fallen more than 28 percent so far this year.

STATE BRIEFS Man freed from prison after appeal in murder case MENARD – A man has been freed from prison after an appellate court overturned his murder conviction in the case of a missing northern Illinois teenager.

The Northwest Herald reports that relatives greeted Mario Casciaro Wednesday as he walked out of Menard Correctional Center in southern Illinois.

Casciaro and the teen both worked at a Johnsburg grocery store. Prosecutors said Casciaro persuaded a third co-worker to confront 17-year-old Brian Carrick over a drug deal debt in 2002.

The other co-worker, Shane Lamb, testified at trial that he punched Carrick, sending the teen falling to the ground unconscious.

Carrick’s body was never found.

Lamb later recanted, saying he made up the story after prosecutors offered him immunity from a murder charge.

Ex-UI chancellor to start teaching in spring

URBANA – Former University of Illinois Chancellor Phyllis Wise will start teaching in the Department of Molecular and Integrative Physiology in the spring.

Interim Chancellor Barbara Wilson told the News-Gazette that Wise is working with the department this semester to determine what classes she will teach. Wise chose not to take a year-long sabbatical.

As a tenured professor of molecular and cellular biology she will earn $298,926. She won’t receive a $400,000 bonus after politicians complained.

Chicago Tribune sues over Mayor’s private email use The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – The Chicago Tribune filed a lawsuit against Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Thursday over claims he violated open records laws by failing to disclose personal emails and text messages used to conduct official city business.

The complaint, filed in Cook County Circuit Court, asks a judge for an injunction to force the former White House chief of staff to produce documents, as well as having him declared in violation of the Illinois Local Records Act. The newspaper, which filed a lawsuit over email chains in June, argued that its Freedom of Information Act requests to Emanuel’s administration have been “met with a pattern of non-compliance, partial compliance, delay and obfuscation,” according to the lawsuit.

“We are seeking the release of public records on matters of great interest to citizens, but the city refuses to divulge them,” Tribune Editor Gerould Kern said in a statement. “Regrettably, the city’s denial is part of a pattern of resistance to releasing public documents covered by the Illinois Freedom of Information Act.” Emanuel spokeswoman

Kelley Quinn said the administration complies with information requests, but she declined to comment on the specifics of the lawsuit.

“We just received the complaint and have not yet had the opportunity to review it,” she said.

The issue of public officials relying on personal email for official business has recently come in the spotlight. Elected officials routinely using personal laptops, cellphones and email accounts for government business, but open-records fights over private emails have produced mixed results.

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton faces questions over her use of a private account and server while serving as secretary of state.

In June, The Chicago Tribune filed a lawsuit against the Emanuel administration seeking more than two dozen email chains believed to be related to a no-bid Chicago Public Schools contract under investigation. The lawsuit alleged the city’s response violated the Illinois Freedom of Information Act by withholding some chains and redacting other portions without giving a reason. City officials argued they were in compliance with the law.

Study: Global warming, evolution are reshaping the bodies of bees

By SETH BORENSTEIN The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Global warming and evolution are reshaping the bodies of some American bumblebees, a new study finds.

The tongues of two Rocky Mountain species of bumblebees are about one-quarter shorter than they were 40 years ago, evolving that way because climate change altered the buffet of wildflowers they normally feed from, according to a study published Thursday in the journal Science.

In one of these species, the tongue had been half the size of the bee’s body – the equivalent of a human tongue going down to the waist. But because the flowers where the long tongue is required have dwindled, the bees didn’t need that much tongue. Keeping long tongues requires bees use more energy, so the bees evolved a shorter tongue that allows them to sample a wider variety of flowers, said

Science via AP

A queen bumble bee collecting nectar from flowers of an alpine wildflower is shown. study lead author Nicole Miller-Struttmann at the State University of New York, Old Westbury.

While biologists have tracked how global warming has altered the developmental, migration, timing and other behavior in plants and animals, what makes this study unusual is the physical changes in the bees, said study co-author Candace Galen at the University of Missouri.

“It speaks to the magnitude of the change of the climate that it’s affecting the

evolution of the organisms,” Galen said. “It’s a beautiful demonstration of adaptive evolution.”

Sydney Cameron at the University of Illinois wasn’t part of the study, but praised it as well conducted and significant for the ecosystem of mountain flowers.

The team of biologists studied the bees on three isolated mountaintops in the Rockies, where they had been the most dominant species around. Not so much anymore, Miller-Struttmann said. The longer tongued of the two bees, the golden belted bumblebee, shrank from 50 percent of all the bees to 20 percent, she said.

Because these were so isolated and so high – more than 10,000 feet – pesticides and pathogens, often blamed for bee declines, weren’t a problem, the scientists said. Something else had to be an issue.

They compared the bees to those of 40 years ago or more and found the tongues dramatically shorter.

Obama’s personal ties with Xi yield mixed policy results

By JULIE PACE The Associated Press WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama has invested more time building personal ties with Chinese President Xi Jinping than with most other world leaders. But as Xi arrives in Washington late Thursday for a grand state visit, it’s clear that Obama’s overtures have produced decidedly mixed results.

During intimate walks and hours of private discussion around the world, Obama and Xi forged a historic breakthrough to combat climate change and collaborated on efforts to curb Iran’s nuclear program. But there’s been little progress on a pair of vexing security issues that will be at the forefront of their latest

round of discussions: China’s cyberspying in the U.S. and its disputed territorial claims in the Asian Pacific.

“The assumptions that many people had, that cooperation on transnational threats like climate change would ameliorate problems in geopolitical arenas were wrong,” said Michael Green, White House Asian Affairs director under President George W. Bush and current senior vice president at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

Before plunging into the pageantry of the state visit, Obama and Xi met for dinner Thursday night at Blair House, the guest residence steps from the White House. They were joined by Vice President Joe Biden, who has also played a central role in building the

Secretary of State John Kerry and National Security Adviser Susan Rice were also on hand

for the informal dinner, where both world leaders ditched their ties.

Biden greeted Xi when his plane touched down at a mili-

tary base near Washington.

U.S. officials point to Obama and Xi’s unusually informal 2013 summit at the Sunnylands estate in southern California as a key moment in the efforts to build rapport. Last year, Obama traveled to Beijing, and the two leaders strolled in the sprawling gardens next to the Forbidden City and met over a lengthy private dinner where details of the climate change agreement were finalized.

“I think what’s been distinct about their relationship, starting at Sunnylands, is far and away the most constructive engagements they’ve had have been in their private dinners,” said Ben Rhodes, Obama’s deputy national security adviser.

Obama and Xi’s relationship, however, will be tested anew as their talks delve into

China’s flouting of U.S. concerns about cyberattacks and Beijing’s territorial claims in the South China Sea. U.S. officials also will be assessing the state of the Chinese economy, which is in the midst of a slowdown after more than two decades of supercharged growth.

Obama and top U.S. officials have publicly and privately warned China that continued computer hacking will come with consequences, including economic sanctions on businesses and individuals.

“This is not just a matter of us being mildly upset, but is something that will put significant strains on a bilateral relationship if not resolved and that we are prepared to take some countervailing actions,” Obama said this month.

Dealers, owners feel frustrated and betrayed by VW scandal

By GILLIAN FLACCUS and TOM KRISHER The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES – Bob Rand bought his Volkswagen Passat last year for its clean emissions and high gas mileage. He liked the car so much he convinced his son and a friend to buy one, too.

Now, as Volkswagen comes clean about rigging diesel emissions to pass U.S. tests, Rand is desperately trying to sell the fully loaded model with white leather seats for $10,000 below what he paid. His sole bite has been from a man who offered $7,500 on speculation that he could resell it in Mexico.

“Volkswagen was somebody that you could rely on for cutting-edge products and quality and all those things and now you find out that they’re not above lying just flat out,” said Rand, who plans to join a class-action lawsuit against VW. “That’s probably about as bad a thing as a company can do is lie to your face when you’re buying a $35,000 car.”

Rand’s anger at the world’s top-selling car company was

echoed Wednesday by private dealers, auto wholesalers and owners across the U.S. as fallout from the smog test trickery mounted.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency first disclosed Sept. 18 that stealth software makes VW’s 2009-2015 model cars powered by 2.0-liter diesel engines run cleaner during emissions tests than in actual driving. On Wednesday, Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn resigned and took responsibility for the “irregularities” found by U.S. inspectors – a scandal that has wiped out billions in the company’s market value and raised the possibility of criminal investigations and billions more in fines.

The revelations left dealers sitting on hundreds of diesel cars they could not sell. Many also dealt with a flood of angry calls, emails and tweets from Volkswagen owners who felt betrayed because they believed they had bought a car that polluted less without sacrificing the good gas mileage and performance that comes with a diesel engine.

Over 700 killed in crush of hajj pilgrims in Saudi Arabia

By AYA BATRAWY The Associated Press MINA, Saudi Arabia – Two giant waves of Muslim pilgrims collided at an intersection Thursday near a holy site in Saudi Arabia, and more than 700 people were crushed and trampled to death in the worst disaster at the hajj in a quarter-century.

“People were climbing over one another just to breathe,” said Abdullah Lotfy of Egypt. “It was like a wave. You go forward and suddenly you go back.”

The hajj, which drew 2 million people from over 180 countries this year, is a huge logistical challenge for Saudi Arabia.

The kingdom has spent billions of dollars to accommodate the growing number of pilgrims and maintain safety and security at Islam’s holy cities of Mecca and Medina for the annual event.

Saudi authorities began an investigation, said Interior Min-

istry spokesman Maj. Gen. Mansour al-Turki, adding that initial reports showed two crowds coming from opposing directions converged at an intersection in Mina, on the outskirts of Mecca, when the pushing and shoving started.

“Unfortunately, these incidents happen in a moment,” al-Turki said at a news conference.

But four survivors questioned how officials managing the flow of people could allow two big crowds going in different directions to intersect on two streets packed with pilgrims.

“What happened was more than they were ready for,” Lotfy, 44, told The Associated Press.

As of late Thursday, the Saudi civil defense directorate said the death toll was 719, but that probably would rise as bodies continued to be counted and sent to the morgue. At least 863 people were injured, the directorate said.

An AP journalist saw bodies still lying on the ground more than 10 hours after the crush and ensuing stampede in Mina, a large valley containing 160,000 tents for accommodations about 5 kilometers (3 miles) from Mecca.

One crowd had just finished a ritual in which pilgrims throw pebbles at three stone columns representing the devil when it ran into another wave of people heading to perform the rite.

Sudanese pilgrim Mohammed Awad, 36, and his 56-year-old father were separated when people began pushing and shoving.

Awad said he tried to get out of the crush of bodies for about 30 minutes and eventually climbed over a gate with others. It took him an hour before he could look for his father, who was under at least 10 bodies – but still alive.

“You can’t count how many bodies there were. They were stacked high,” Awad said.

Political, legal barriers face historic Colombia peace deal

By JOSHUA GOODMAN The Associated Press

Cuba’s President Raul Castro (center) embraces Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos (left) and Commander of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia or FARC, Timoleon Jimenez, Wednesday in Havana, Cuba.

BOGOTA, Colombia – A stunning diplomatic breakthrough leaves a minefield of problems standing between Colombia and the tantalizing prospect of peace after generations of armed conflict.

President Juan Manuel Santos and leaders of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia are celebrating Wednesday’s announcement that they had crossed what many see as the point of no return after three years of peace talks by settling on a formula to punish human rights abuses.

They set a six-month deadline to sign a final agreement ending more than half a cen-

tury of drug-fueled fighting.

Still to resolve, however, are legal obstacles, such as dozens of U.S. drug warrants for rebels and the threat of lawsuits by victims, as well as political considerations, such as widespread mistrust of the guerrillas’ intentions and the puzzle of how to pay for peace at a time of economic malaise.

Under the terms, rebels who confess crimes to special tribunals, compensate victims and promise not to take up arms again will receive from five to a maximum of eight years of labor – but no prison time.

War crimes by government forces also will be judged by the tribunals, and combatants on either side of the

conflict caught lying will face penalties of up to 20 years in jail.

Some critics complain the provisions are too light on a guerrilla group accused of repeatedly kidnapping civilians, forced recruitment of child soldiers and sexual violence.

Human Rights Watch said it’s difficult to imagine how such an arrangement could survive a serious review by Colombian or international courts.

Former President Alvaro Uribe, whose military offensive helped push a weakened FARC to the negotiating table, said it would generate more violence and fuel impunity by putting patriotic Colombian soldiers on the same witness

stand as the “terrorists.”

Uribe’s comments foreshadow what’s likely to be a bitter political fight to ratify any deal. While details are still being worked out, Santos has vowed to hold at least a symbolic referendum and congress also must pass legislation implementing any deal.

Polls show Colombians overwhelmingly loathe the FARC, and as recently as June a majority favored trying to defeat the rebels militarily instead of negotiating with them.

Santos has acknowledged that Colombians will have to “swallow some toads” if they want to bring an end to a spiral of violence that has claimed more than 225,000 lives.

A 16.08 carat, a pink diamond the size of a postage stamp is shown in a ring setting.

A stamp-sized pink diamond could bring $28M NEW YORK – A pink diamond the size of a postage stamp is going on the auction block, and it’s estimated to bring as much as $28 million.

The 16.08-carat gem is poised to set a record for a cushion-shaped fancy vivid pink diamond when Christie’s offers it at its Magnificent Jewels sale in Geneva on Nov. 10.

The auction house said it is the largest diamond of its kind to come to auction.

The fancy vivid pink grading means the hue is of the purest and strongest saturation, said Rahul Kadakia, Christie’s head of jewelry. The color is even and shows no trace of a secondary color that may include purple, orange brown or grey in pink diamonds of a lower grade.

Putin calls Elton John, promises to meet with him

MOSCOW – Russian President Vladimir Putin has called British musician Elton John and agreed to meet him. This time it’s for real.

After John posted a message on Instagram last week, thanking Putin for calling him, two Russian pranksters admitted that it was them who called John and fooled him into believing that Putin had given him a call.

Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Russia news agencies on Thursday that the Russian president, who was hosting a meeting on agriculture in a corn field in southern Russia, took time after the meeting to speak to John.

Peskov quoted Putin as saying: “I know that those phone pranksters fooled you. Please don’t be angry with them.”

McConnell moves to swiftly avoid gov’t shutdown

By ANDREW TAYLOR The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The Senate’s top Republican moved swiftly to avoid a government shutdown in six days, pushing legislation that would keep agencies operating without a contentious fight over money for Planned Parenthood.

The action of Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., followed a decisive Senate vote blocking a bill that would have stripped Planned Parenthood of its taxpayer funding while keeping the government running through Dec. 11.

The vote was 47-52, falling short of a majority and well shy of the 60 votes required

to overcome a filibuster led

by Democrats. Eight Republicans, several of whom support abortion rights, voted with 42 Democrats and two independents to kill the measure.

McConnell immediately offered a bipartisan stopgap spending bill free of the Planned Parenthood dispute that’s expected to easily clear the Senate next week by a wide bipartisan margin. He has for almost a year promised that Republicans controlling Congress won’t repeat the government shutdown of two years ago.

In the House, GOP leaders called a meeting of their fractious rank and file for Friday morning to discuss whether to accept the Senate’s move or

reject it at the risk that continuing the fight over Planned Parenthood would lead to a government shutdown.

The White House signaled President Barack Obama would sign the measure, called a continuing resolution, into law – if the House steps Mitch aside from the McConnell fight tea party Republicans want over “defunding” Planned Parenthood.

“I think we all know we’re going to have a clean CR,” said Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, using congressional code.

“The House is going to figure out what the House is going to

do, but we can’t shut down the government.”

Speaking at the White House, Obama reminded Congress of the need to keep the government open.

Honoring public health workers for their efforts to combat Ebola, the president said such organizations “need support from Congress in order continue to excel in their mission so I hope that Congress chooses to keep our government open and operating so that heroes like this can keep working.”

Planned Parenthood has long been targeted by Republicans, but their efforts have intensified after the release of secretly recorded videos that raised questions about its han-

dling of fetal tissue provided to scientific researchers.

The group said it is doing nothing wrong and isn’t profiting from such practices in violation of federal law.

The vote to block the stopgap spending bill was widely expected. And on Thursday, the White House issued a statement that Obama would veto it in any event, arguing that it “would limit access to health care for women, men, and families across the nation, and disproportionately impact low-income individuals.”

The Senate’s vote, and the bipartisan measure that followed, cranks up the pressure on the GOP-controlled House.

There, GOP leaders have been

stymied in their hopes to pass a temporary spending bill known as a continuing resolution.

House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, has only shaky control over his fractious caucus, and tea party Republicans are adamant about using the must-pass measure to carry provisions to defund Planned Parenthood, even at the risk of a partial government shutdown.

GOP leaders like Boehner have counseled privately that it’s a doomed strategy and want to avoid a repeat of the 2013 closure, which hurt the party politically.

McConnell appears to enjoy support from a majority of the Republican rank and file.

Tour vehicle, charter bus collide on Seattle bridge; 4 dead

By PHUONG LE The Associated Press SEATTLE – A “duck boat” tour vehicle and a charter bus carrying foreign students to a college orientation event collided on a busy Seattle bridge Thursday, killing four students and injuring dozens of others.

The crash happened on the Aurora Bridge, which carries one of the city’s main northsouth highways over a lake. At least two people were in critical condition among the 51 people authorities said were transported to hospitals.

There was no immediate word about the cause of the crash, which involved a military-style tour bus that can also be operated on water. Initial reports described the accident as a head-on collision.

“We didn’t see anything.

Just the sound. The smell of gas,” said Rujia Xie, a 16-yearold from China, who was on the bus carrying about 45 North Seattle College students and staff. The group was headed to

Safeco Field as part of new-student orientation programs.

She said glass fell on their faces, and some people jumped from the bus.

Xie held a bag of ice against some bruises on her face as she left the North Seattle College campus, where the less seriously injured people on the bus were taken.

A driver who was behind the duck boat said the tour bus and duck boat were headed in opposite directions. Brad Volm, of Philadelphia, said the amphibious vehicle swerved in front of him. The left front tire of the duck boat appeared to lock up, and the vehicle swerved into the oncoming charter bus, he said.

Witnesses described hearing a loud screech and then seeing injured people lying on the pavement or wandering around in a daze.

Nurse Jahna Dyer said she was walking across the bridge when she came upon the scene, a mess of jumbled metal and glass. Some victims were lying on the road. Others milled

helpless.”

When emergency crews arrived, “a lot of people were running at them,” pleading for help, Seattle fire Lt. Sue Stangl said.

The amphibious vehicle is operated by a tour company called Ride the Ducks, which offers tours that are known for exuberant drivers and guides who play loud music and quack through speakers as they lead tourists around the city.

Company President Brian Tracey said he did not know what happened.

“Our main concern right now is with the families of those hurt and killed,” he said.

Seattle Mayor Ed Murray said the National Transportation Safety Board was taking over the investigation and a AP photo federal team would arrive FriAn emergency official stands near a charter bus (left) and a “Ride the Ducks” amphibious tour bus that day. were involved in a fatal crash Thursday in Seattle.

Class of 1975 wanted to do something different to mark 40th anniversary • HOMECOMING

Continued from page A1 “We have a reunion every five years,” Cindy Lancaster, now of Sycamore, said. “But this is the first time we’ve done it during homecoming.”

Typically, the group hosts its reunion in the summer, around Corn Fest, she said. But this year, class members wanted to do something a little different to mark the 40th anniversary of their graduation.

While Lancaster lives in Syc-

amore now, classmates came from all over the U.S., from Florida to California to Wisconsin.

Dianna Busha, a ’75 alumna now living in Wisconsin, said she always looks forward to returning to DeKalb to visit with classmates and indulge in a little nostalgia. The group plans to go the football game tonight, and spend some time downtown.

“Home is where your heart is,” Busha said. “I was born and raised here. I love Wisconsin, but I also still love my hometown.”

County has spent $7M to house inmates in other jails • ADDRESS

Continued from page A1 Chuck Lanning, a Cortland town trustee for 22 years, said the planned $35 million county jail expansion approved earlier this year is something he really wants to see. The county has spent $7 million over the past eight years to house inmates in other jails.

“We can’t keep operating like this,” Lanning said. “Of course something has to be done about the system. They lock people up for really small stuff. But we do need that jail. I think that’s the biggest thing I think about the most.”

County Administrator Gary

Hanson said he appreciated that economic development seemed to be a theme running through the presentation.

“The chairman is trying to reach out to all areas of the county to try to build that infrastructure up and to attract business in towns, but also the rural areas as well,” he said. “That was a great theme to come out of this.”

Pietrowski said he hopes State of the County will become an annual event.

“Whoever comes after me, (I) hope they see this as a great opportunity to reach out to the public,” he said. “It could take many different forms, but I think it’s important for community outreach as a government.”

‘Risk outweighed benefit of apprehending him; he was failed’ • MERIT COMMISSION Continued from page A1

“The risk outweighed the benefit of immediately apprehending him and he was failed,” Scott’s attorney, Jolanta Zinevich, said during her opening statement.

Scott has charged Meagan Pettengell with conduct unbecoming of an officer and violations of: attention to duty, personal conduct, proper use of mobile video or audio recording equipment, proper use of operation of police vehicles and equipment, and the Public Officers and Employees to Obey Act, records show.

Additionally, Scott charged Ryan Pettengell with conduct unbecoming of an officer and violations of: personal conduct, proper use of mobile video or audio recording equipment, proper operation of police vehicles and equipment, and pursuit procedures.

While en route to a domestic dispute at the 11500 block of Baseline Road on March 30, DeKalb County Sheriff’s deputies learned that Jeffrey S. Nissen was attempting to leave the residence in his girlfriend’s 2008 Honda Civic, according to a news release from the time.

M e a g a n P e t t e n g e l l r esponded to the call, and as she neared the residence, spotted the vehicle heading westbound on Baseline Road and made a U-turn, video footage shows.

Ryan Pettengell was the sergeant on duty that night, and advised Meagan Pettengell to “terminate” the pursuit because Nissen was driving faster than 100 mph, according to audio of the 911 call.

Meagan Pettengell turned her lights and siren off but continued to follow Nissen, who

lost control of the vehicle, hit a utility pole and rolled over several times, video footage shows.

Nissen was ejected from the vehicle in the crash and was later pronounced dead, according to the news release.

“You’ll also hear evidence that when Sgt. Pettengell ordered Deputy Pettengell to terminate the pursuit that’s exactly what she did. She turned off her emergency equipment and that’s what the pursuit policy requires,” the Pettengells’ attorney Laura Scarry said in her opening statement. “And so once she terminated the pursuit, the pursuit policy no longer applied.”

Zinevich called DeKalb County Chief Deputy Gary Dumdie as her first witness.

Ryan Pettengell contacted Dumdie after the incident, Dumdie said.

“It was obvious to me that there were potentially serious policy violations that had taken place,” Dumdie said.

Testimony continued late Thursday, but no punishment will be decided as a result of this hearing, Merit Commission Attorney John Kelly said.

The commission, composed of three DeKalb County residents, will decide whether Ryan Pettengell or Meagan Pettengell are guilty of any of the charges against them. If they are found guilty, a second hearing will be set to determine their punishment, Kelly said.

Although previous meetings regarding the Pettengells’ employment were held in open session, minutes from those meetings will not be made public until the hearing has come to a close, Scott has said.

The Merit Commission is scheduled to meet again Saturday to discuss the issue.

Village president’s business partners create questions

Pope Francis goes to Washington He is the only man in the world with this job title, but from the moment Pope Francis was hired, he eschewed the fancy trappings of his predecessors to avoid the isolation of privilege. So there he was Wednesday, pulling up to President Barack Obama’s rental house on Pennsylvania Avenue in a boxy little Fiat.

After the pope’s brief speech on the White House lawn, he switched cars and headed for the parade, where he waved to thousands of admirers from his popemobile, a modified Jeep Wrangler made by union workers in Toledo, Ohio.

Surrounded by emergency vehicles and swarmed by security, Francis nonetheless managed to persuade grim-faced Secret Service agents to fetch babies from the crowd so that he could kiss them. My favorite moment during live coverage came when agents tried to shoo away 5-year-old Sophie Cruz. The little girl in pigtails made eye contact with Pope Francis, and he waved for her to come to him. An agent lifted her so that the pope could kiss and embrace her.

News organizations later reported that Sophie had traveled from Los Angeles with her parents and a group that advocates for American-born children of immigrants. I confess I read that and thought, “Nice work, God.” Francis is only 5-feet-9 inches tall, but he is a towering figure this week in a country – in our country – full of people yearning for signs of greatness in those who think they’re entitled to center stage.

Millions of Americans, most Catholic but surely not all of them, are hanging on his every word.

And why not?

VIEWS Connie Schultz I’m not Catholic, and I am mindful of those who continue to suffer because of the Roman Catholic Church’s failings. But there is something about this pope. His respectful ease with our president and his words of gentle optimism invited immediate contrasts with what some presidential candidates have been trying to pass off as leadership in recent weeks.

The difference is so stark.

Francis: “As the son of an immigrant family, I am happy to be a guest in this country, which was largely built by such families.”

Donald Trump: “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. ...

They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with [them]. They’re bringing drugs.

They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists.”

Ben Carson: “I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation. I absolutely would not agree with that.”

Francis: “Mr. President, I find it encouraging that you are proposing an initiative for reducing air pollution. Accepting the urgency, it seems clear to me, also, that climate change is a problem (that) can no longer be left to a future generation.

When it comes to the care of our common home, we are living at a critical moment of history.”

Mike Huckabee: “I don’t pretend to know. Here’s what I do know: When I was in college, we were told that [the] climate

Senator who lost daughter opposes treatment funding LEBANON – Sometimes it’s easy to forget public policy can collide with private pain.

I saw that pain Thursday while chatting with state Sen. Kyle McCarter. McCarter, a Republican from downstate Lebanon, was one of only 11 senators who opposed a $60 million plan to provide taxpayer-funded treatment to heroin addicts.

That in itself isn’t surprising. McCarter has carved a niche in the Illinois General Assembly as a fiscal conservative. What makes his situation unusual is that he lost his 21-year-old daughter to a heroin overdose.

“My daughter, Amber, was absolutely beautiful and so smart and so headstrong. I can’t imagine where she got that last trait.

But it wasn’t from her mother,” he said with sad smile.

Amber, who became involved with drugs as a teenager, was found dead in 2006 along railroad tracks in Brooklyn, a hard-luck village near East St. Louis. His daughter had just left drug rehabilitation.

“She had been off drugs for 45 days and she was doing great, and then for some reason decided to use again,” McCarter said as tears welled in his eyes. “The dose of heroin she used was mixed with fentanyl and her body just couldn’t take it.”

McCarter is a man who cares about the

VIEWS Scott Reeder addicted. He and his wife open their home to recovering addicts and others facing serious challenges as part of their support of Mercy Ministries, a faith-based recovery program. Not only does he provide a home, but he also offers job opportunities in his business for those in recovery.

From a strictly political point of view, it’s hard to discern why McCarter would vote the way he did. Drug-treatment programs are popular with voters and even the harshest opponent would be hard-pressed to criticize the father of a child who died of a heroin overdose for voting for such a measure. But McCarter voted just the opposite.

“I voted against the program because the state is broke and doesn’t have $60 million for a new program,” he said. “But, more importantly, I don’t think these government-sponsored programs work.”

In fact, more than 90 percent of heroin addicts who go through rehabilitation use again. Admittedly, some folks who backslide later become sober, but that is small conciliation for a family like the McCarters

who lost their daughter on the first relapse.

“Some people voted for this because they wanted to show they care,” he said. “But you can’t just throw money at a problem and expect it to be solved. We all care.”

McCarter believes the solution to the heroin epidemic lies with peer-based preventative programs and faith-based treatment.

“Young people need to know they are loved, they are valued and they are important to God. And they need to hear it from their peers,” he said. “And that needs to be shared in the way they communicate – social media.”

When it comes to helping addicts, McCarter said the solution lies outside of government ,with individuals and religious institutions providing funding for treatment. He wishes such a program had been available for his daughter.

While one may debate the most effective way to treat heroin addiction, it’s impossible to question the sincerity of McCarter’s beliefs.

Spare us excuses about Hinckley being a small town, or the arrangement not being a strict conflict of interest: Hinckley Village President Jim Roderick’s business relationship with principals from the village’s engineering firm creates questions about his loyalties.

Roderick’s two partners in a company called Porpoise Properties are Peter Wallers, president and CEO of Engineering Enterprises Inc., and David Burroughs, the firm’s senior vice president.

They started the company together last year to flip houses, including Roderick’s mother’s house.

Village officials clearly were aware it doesn’t look good. Why else would they have tried to delete information about Porpoise Properties in their response to a resident’s open records request earlier this year?

The village eventually was persuaded to disclose the information by the Illinois Attorney General’s Public Access Counselor.

Minutes from Village Board meetings show there have been times where Roderick has publicly taken up for EEI. On May 18, for example, Roderick told the board that an amended invoice from EEI that cost more than expected was “a fair and honest assessment of what happened.”

Yes, it can come in handy to be in business with the elected head of village government.

Worse, the business venture between Roderick and the engineering firm principals went ahead with the blessing of Steven Andersson, a sitting state representative from Geneva who also is Hinckley’s village attorney.

Andersson, a Republican representing the 65th District, told the three that the arrangement wasn’t a strict conflict of interest, and then acted as the agent for the company they formed.

If that is Andersson’s idea of good government, we question his judgment in Hinckley and in Springfield.

Here’s what Andersson should have told Roderick: “This might not be strictly illegal Jim, but it’s going to lead people to question your objectivity.

“If you do this, you should disclose it to the public.

You should also refrain from discussing or voting on any matters that have to do with EEI. That way, everyone will know the deal and there won’t be any secrets.”

Maybe if that advice had been given, Porpoise Properties wouldn’t be the subject of a DeKalb County Sheriff’s investigation. Maybe the village of Hinckley wouldn’t have received a grand jury subpoena for all records related to the company and two homes it owned in town going back to Jan. 1, 2014.

Regardless what investigators find, Roderick’s relationship with the executives from EEI shakes residents’ faith in their local government.

Roderick can solve this problem in one of three ways: Either agree to recuse himself from further votes and discussion about matters relating to EEI, find new business partners, or resign as village president.

ANOTHER VIEW

Volkswagen should suffer consequences In the wake of Volkswagen’s truly astonishing admission of wrongdoing, Martin Winterkorn, the chief executive of the world’s No. 1 carmaker, stepped down on Wednesday. This should be only the beginning of the consequences.

The U.S. government must show that it will not tolerate systematic and brazen lawbreaking. It can – and should – pursue heavy fines against the company and criminal charges against individual executives.

The U.S. government has accused Volkswagen of installing a “defeat device” on nearly half a million cars in the United States – and 11 million worldwide – over seven model years, to trick emissions inspectors. The result is hundreds of thousands of cars on the road spewing air pollutants at levels up to 40 times the legal limit. Volkswagen formally apologized on Sunday and announced that it would commission an independent investigation. That’s too little, too late.

Since the 2009 model year, Volkswagen has apparently sold “clean diesel” cars that are anything but.

A tricky algorithm written into the voluminous lines of code that control on-board computers could sense when government inspectors were examining the car and switch on pollution controls. At other times, the software switched off pollution-reduction features, increasing the car’s fuel efficiency and zip but releasing harmful exhaust. In other words, the Environmental Protection Agency found, the company falsely claimed to be producing cars that could deliver high performance while meeting pollution standards, in the process cheating buyers and competing unfairly against honest auto manufacturers.

According to the EPA, this is a story of flagrant, baldfaced criminality, and of misleading regulators until cornered. VW at first attributed emissions discrepancies to technical glitches. But when the EPA performed follow-up tests, it concluded that none of VW’s explanations made sense. The company confessed only after the EPA threatened not to certify VW’s 2016 models for sale.

The impact of Volkswagen’s cheating is potentially much bigger than dealing with half a million dirty cars, or even one big auto company’s shattered reputation.

Government emissions inspectors rely on automakers to equip their cars with computers that make everyday auto inspections quick and easy, saving the government money and drivers time. Volkswagen’s cheating undermines the notion that the readings cars spit out or the emissions regulators track in other circumstances are reliable, demanding that regulators rethink how they operate.

CUBS

Postseason elimination as easy as 1-2-3

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

AP photo

Cubs manager Joe Maddon applauds during a replay of Jake Arrieta’s no-hitter against the Dodgers as Arieta was honored for the accomplishment Aug. 31 at Wrigley Field.

Figures.

The Cubs are on track for the franchise’s third-best record in the past 70 years, and at this rate it’ll be worth no more than third place in a five-team division, and a loser-out playoff opener.

“I’m kind of used to it. I like it,” said Cubs manager Joe Maddon, who spent the past nine years managing the little-guy Tampa Bay Rays in the American League East with the payroll-behemoth Yankees and Red Sox. “I like the fact that we play in the division with the per-

GIRLS VOLLEYBALL: G-K 2, JOHNSBURG 0

ceived best teams in baseball.

I think that makes us better quicker.”

Maddon has been saying that since spring training whenever asked about trying to rise from the ashes in a National League Central Division that includes the juggernaut Cardinals and the youngand-deep Pirates.

But he never has faced this reality: If the world-order in baseball doesn’t change between now and the Oct. 4 season finales, the teams with the top three records in the majors all will belong to the same division.

Nobody ever has faced that before. It hasn’t happened

since division formats began in 1969.

In 68 seasons of the twoleague format before divisional alignment, the top three records came out of the same league only seven times – only twice (1950, ’62) since World War II. “I know in the American League East, we might have been close to something like that,” said Maddon, whose Rays were the winner of an AL East in 2008 that had three of the top four AL teams – the closest he has been to experiencing this.

Maddon said he’s not crying about anything being unfair, even though it necessar-

ily means those three teams will face off exclusively the first two rounds of the playoffs until only one survives to the NL Championship Series – the winner of the one-game wild-card seeded against the division winner in the Division Series.

In fact, when he was in Tampa Bay, he adamantly opposed a proposal to re-align the small-revenue Rays with another division, because of his makes-you-better-quicker philosophy. Then he won two division titles, two wild-card berths and reached the 2008 World Series with the Rays.

Cogs 6-0 in BNC East play Hansel leads the way in sweep of Skyhawks

By JOHN BUTKUS sports@daily-chronicle.com GENOA – The Genoa-Kingston volleyball team improved to 6-0 in Big Northern Conference East play after beating Johnsburg, 2512, 25-18, Thursday night.

After winning the first set, the Cogs (11-5-1) were cruising on their way to a victory in the second set when things started to go south. The Cogs held a comfortable 20-8 lead over the Skyhawks, but everything started to click for the visiting team. After crawling back and making it a 21-17 game, the Cogs turned on the switch and put the Skyhawks away.

“In that second set, I think it was just a matter of not wanting the ball,” Cogs coach Keith Foster said. “We just needed someone to step up and get back to playing with good fundamentals. We were kind of fortunate that Johnsburg tested us and allowed us to grow from it.”

The Cogs were led defensively by middle blocker Erika Hansel, who had three blocks as well as four kills.

“I thought we played well tonight and we executed what coach has been practicing with us,” Hansel said. “We need to stay focused against other opponents and not get cocky just because we have a lead on them.”

The Cogs were forced to dig deep to scratch out a victory in the second set that also gave them building blocks for the rest of the season.

“We had offense all across the net tonight and that’s tough for teams to scout against,” Foster said. “Its good to know that we have that capability moving forward.”

The Cogs on Tuesday will travel to face Burlington Central.

BLACKHAWKS: KANE INVESTIGATION

Lawyer for Kane accuser abruptly quits

By JOHN WAWROW The Associated Press BUFFALO, N.Y. – The lawyer of a woman accusing Blackhawks star Patrick Kane of sexual assault abruptly quit the case Thursday night, saying he no longer is comfortable representing the woman because of how her mother reported finding an evidence bag they believed once held the woman’s rape kit.

Thomas Eoannou told reporters he doesn’t believe the

story he was told about how the bag was found. But he said he still is confident in the woman’s allegations Thomas against Kane.

“We have to limit the big plays,” Fedderly said. “They have a lot of big-play athletes. We have to be able to run the ball. We can’t give them any extra opportunities to have the ball from turnovers. Special teams will be really

huge and we’ll have to play really well in the aspect.”

The biggest of the big-play athletes so far this year for the Barbs is Cole Tucker. He had two kick returns of more than 50 yards last week in a 31-28 win against Sycamore, including one for a touchdown, and had three receiving touchdowns, as well. He’s been the top target of Derek Kyler this year, grabbing 21 catches for 425 yards and eight of Kyler’s 11 passing scores. Kyler has completed 51 percent of his passes for 586 yards and has not thrown an interception this year.

The Knights have an equally potent offense, led by quarterback Jake Marczuk, who has completed 66 percent of his pass-

es for 433 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions. In addition to being the area’s leading passer, his 395 rushing yards and six touchdowns lead the area, as well.

“Honestly, they like to throw the ball, but they are predominately a running team. When we ran the numbers, I think they were 60-40 in terms of run-pass in the games so far,” DeKalb coach Matt Weckler said. “And, honestly, I think coach Fedderly would rather have 50-50 or 60-40 run-pass if he could. So for us, we want to be able to stop the run first. They’ll run the ball as long as they’re able to.”

SPORTS BRIEFS Frazier denies report NIU to play game at ‘The Cell’ Northern Illinois athletic director Sean Frazier denied a Chicago Sun-Times report Thursday that the Huskies football team will play a game in the 2016 season at U.S. Cellular Field.

Sun-Times columnist Michael Sneed reported Thursday the Huskies will play a game next year at the White Sox’s stadium, citing unnamed sources. She said the Huskies were “gearing up” to play a home game at the stadium. No opponent or date was given.

But Frazier denied the report late Thursday.

“We have no idea where this report came from,” Frazier said, “and we are no closer to signing a deal with U.S. Cellular Field then we are to winning a national championship this year.”

The only nonconference home game on the Huskies’ schedule for next year at the moment is San Diego State, but the team still needs to figure out a date for its game with Western Illinois, according to FBschedules.com. The Mid-American Conference schedule for next year has not been released.

Giants build lead and hold it, beat Redskins

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The New York Giants do know how to hold onto a lead.

New York didn’t let Washington steal a victory late, finishing off a 32-21 decision Thursday night on Odell Beckham Jr.’s 30-yard touchdown catch and Rueben Randle’s 41-yarder.

The Giants fell apart in the fourth quarter of losses to Dallas and Atlanta. This time, the Giants (1-2) dominated most of the action against the injury-plagued Redskins (1-2), who lost veteran cornerback DeAngelo Hall to a right leg injury that looked serious.

“We won,” Giants coach Tom Coughlin said. “Smile.”

The Giants scored in nearly every way possible, beginning with Rashad Jennings blocking Tress Way’s punt for a safety on Washington’s opening series. Andre Williams scored on a 1-yard run, Josh Brown kicked three field goals, and Beckham toasted Bashaud Breeland to settle matters.

Bears gear up for noisy Sunday Bushrod: Seattle noise like ‘a train passing you for 60 minutes’

By NATE ATKINS natkins@chicagofootball.com LAKE FOREST – Jermon Bushrod’s only regular-season game at CenturyLink Field came in his rookie season, in 2007. Bushrod was inactive but still remembers the obstacles his Saints faced in a stadium that holds the Guinness record for loudest crowd, measured at 137.6 decibels.

“You ever been right beside a train when it’s passing?” Bushrod asked Thursday. “That’s what it sounds like: a train passing you for sixty minutes.”

Outside of Halas Hall on Thursday, the Bears tried simulating the Seattle sound with a high-pitch noise through the speaker system.

It isn’t the same, Bushrod said, but it’s on the players to try to emulate the mindset they’ll have Sunday.

“It’s always different, but you try and put yourself in the moment when you’re out here at practice,” Bushrod said.

The moment Sunday could be daunting.

The 0-2 Bears, in their first road game, will start Jimmy

Clausen under center against the two-time defending NFC champs, also 0-2, opening their home slate. The Bears tied a franchise record with 170 penalty yards Sunday – including six penalties by the offensive line, all once Clausen replaced an injured Jay Cutler.

Bears coach John Fox – who said Thursday the biggest challenge this week is the Seahawks, not their home-field Jermon advantage – Bushrod has lamented the Bears’ poor execution through two weeks.

Now, according to Bushrod, the offensive line can’t worry about executing until it masters communication in the unique elements of “the Clink.”

“We have a different focus this week,” Bushrod, who was flagged twice Sunday, said, pointing to silent counts and finding ways to communicate nonverbally, beyond knowing assignments, snap counts and all of the other usual responsi-

bilities for offensive linemen.

The noise likely creates the biggest issues for Bushrod and his offensive teammates, although Antrel Rolle, who has made six starts in Seattle, explained how offenses can negate it.

“I’ve seen it both ways.

I’ve seen it where it wasn’t so loud,” Rolle said. “In order for you to get that, you have to go out there and stick it to ‘em fast. If you let them get up and you let the crowd get into it, it can be a very, very hostile crowd.”

A fast start must be led

by Clausen, whose only regular-season appearance in Seattle came as a rookie with Carolina, when he completed 18 of 34 passes with an interception in a 31-14 loss. Although he played in a lot of loud college environments, Clausen said that experience is “definitely up there” with the loudest.

Fox thinks the Bears’ practice environment should help, but echoed Bushrod on the importance of heightened communication.

“I think it can’t be any louder than what we practice with every day,” he said “…

It’s just a matter of communication, making sure guys have different ways to communicate when they can’t hear each other.”

Hawks have Pro Bowlers at each level • BEARS

Continued from page B1 points in an overtime loss to the Rams and 27 in a loss to the Packers, a total worse than every NFL team except for the Raiders and Bears.

Their pass defense is down from first last year to 12th this year, and their run defense has fallen from third to 15th.

Chancellor is one of the rare safeties who effects both facets. He has eight interceptions the past four years, and he finished last season sixth

in the league with 33 stops, which Pro Football Focus defines as solo tackles resulting in offensive failure.

“Sometimes, you get safeties and they come in in run support, but they’d rather not.

He’d rather do that,” Bears running back Matt Forte said.

The 0-2 Bears will face many offensive challenges Sunday, particularly if Jay Cutler (hamstring) and Alshon Jeffery (calf) don’t play. The Seahawks have Pro Bowlers at each level of the defense, including three in the secondary in Chancellor,

safety Earl Thomas and cornerback Richard Sherman.

Identifying where each one is will be key, but both Zach Miller and Joshua Bellamy said the challenge is greater with the safety who hasn’t played this season.

“We’re not sure what he’s going to do or how he’s going to be,” Miller said, “but I think all of us are expecting him to be the Kam Chancellor that he always is.”

Figuring out that part of his game is easy, Miller said: “He runs around and hits people.”

By BEN WALKER

LAKE FOREST – Jimmy Clausen said he’s “way more comfortable” now than when he was a rookie, but the former second-round pick who has one win as a starter in his career will need to show that on the field Sunday.

“Being a rookie in the NFL is tough at any position, but going back to my Carolina days, when I was a rookie, not being healthy didn’t help at all,” Clausen said after Thursday’s practice. “But I’ve learned so much since then and I’ve grown in so many Jimmy Clausen ways possible.”

In his last start, a 20-14 loss to the Lions in Week 16 last season with only two practices under his belt, Clausen showed some flashes with two touchdowns.

It’s just another experience he can take from as he gets ready for the league’s most imposing environment and pass defense.

“Just going out with confidence and making plays, getting the ball to the playmakers,” Clausen said of his takeaways from last season.

“Obviously, I can’t make too many plays if I have the ball in my hands, so I’ve got to distribute it to the running backs, tight ends, receivers and just get those guys the ball in space and let them make plays.”

John Fox refused to name Clausen the starter – that will come Friday when Jay Cutler officially is ruled out with a hamstring injury.

Fox drafted Clausen and knows him well, and offensive coordinator Adam Gase has seen enough in his months working with Clausen to speak highly of Sunday’s starter.

“His leadership. How competitive he is. His intelligence is off the charts and his attention to detail,” Gase said of Clausen’s strengths.

“He’s done a really good job of making sure he’s on the same page as other guys anytime he’s had an opportunity to go in there.

“Preseason he was impressive.

You’re playing with a bunch of guys that probably aren’t going to make the team and he got some of those guys caught up very quick. A couple of those guys ended up making our team and a lot of the reason is because he helped them out.”

Injury report: Cutler, Jon Bostic (ankle) and Alshon Jeffery (hamstring) missed practice. Jeffery has not practiced since Sept. 17 and has practiced only five times since Aug. 12. Eddie Royal (hip, back) returned to practice in a limited fashion after missing Wednesday. Ego Ferguson (knee), Matt Forte (knee), Pernell McPhee (knee), Tracy Porter (hamstring), Matt Slauson (thigh, toe) and Marquess Wilson (shoulder) also were limited.

Gase takes responsibility: Things seemed to unravel on offense once Clausen entered the game last week, from penalties to a turnover to an inability to move the football, but Gase pinned it on himself.

“I was more disappointed in the play-calling,” he said. “I thought I did a poor job of putting those guys in a good position. After going back and watching the tape and evaluating that, I feel like I could have put Jimmy in better spots.”

Trying to catch Pirates • CUBS

Continued from page B1 “Obviously, you get to the end of the year, if we can stay on this pace, and you may look up and say you have the third-best record in baseball and can’t win a division,” he said. “That’s difficult, but on the other hand, you knew that going into it. You had every chance to beat the teams ahead of you, and you did not. I’m good with that. I just like the idea that we’re playing well.”

The Cubs are playing well enough that their .586 winning percentage would rank third since their 1945 World Series team to only their 1984 (.596) and 2008 (.602) division winners.

The Cubs get one more shot at doing something about the order – at least as it relates to home field for the wild-card game – when they face the Pirates for three games this weekend, before finishing the season against Kansas City (one game), Cincinnati (three) and Milwaukee (three).

The Cubs, who trail the second-place Pirates by 3½ games, will host the wild-card game if they finish with the same record as the Pirates because they have clinched the season series against Pittsburgh.

ing them to a 10-3 record so far this season – and was a former standout for Sycamore. She was named to the All-Suburban Prairie Conference team twice and helped lead the Spartans to a supersectional her senior season. During her time at Western Illinois, she was the conference freshman of the year and was all-conference three times. In her junior year, she was the Mid-Continent defensive MVP and holds the record for digs in a season and a career for the Leathernecks.

Boltz, a 2004 graduate, earned allSPC honors five times for the Spartans – three in wrestling and twice in football. He qualified for the state meet twice and had a career record of 103-29. After his time with Sycamore, he became an all-American for Wheaton College at the NCAA Division III Nationals.

Fleetwood, a 1987 graduate, was All-Little Seven Conference five times – three in football and twice in baseball. In his senior season, he was named the MVP of the conference in

Staley, a 2004 graduate, was allSPC in three volleyball seasons and helped lead the Spartans to four regional championships and two sectional crowns. Staley went on to play at Northern Illinois, earning three letters and was a starter for two of those seasons.

Kickoff for the Spartans’ game against is set for 7:15 p.m.

Prep football preview capsules: Week 5 Ottawa (4-0) at Sycamore (1-3) Game time: 7:15 p.m. today Last week: Ottawa opened conference play with a 35-6 home win against Rochelle. The Spartans lost at DeKalb, 31-28.

Last meeting: Sycamore won, 420, at Ottawa last year.

Scouting the Pirates: Bryce Bilyeu does everything for the Pirates – starts at quarterback, plays in the secondary and kicks. He threw two touchdowns and no interceptions last week, plus ran for 84 yards and intercepted a pass. He has 239 yards passing and has rushed for 97 on the year.

Adam Poundstone has been the main cog on offense for the Pirates, carrying 70 times for 513 yards and seven touchdowns.

The defense also had a 110-minute shutout streak, starting in Week 1 against Leo and running until Week 3 against Kankakee.

“They’ve been able to run the ball and keep control of it,” Sycamore coach Joe Ryan said. “They’re really big out front and their backs run hard. They’ve been good offensively and don’t give up a lot of points – that’s a good recipe for success.

We’re going to have get them in third-and-longer situations and keep the ball in our possession.”

What’s at stake: With games against Northern Illinois Big 12 East powers Yorkville and Kaneland remaining, the Spartans have no margin for error. Although the teams enter with very different records, strength of schedule has been a factor. The Spartans haven’t played a team with a losing record, and the Pirates haven’t played a team with a winning one.

“They’re 4-0, I know that. That doesn’t change anything,” Ryan said.

“Our schedule doesn’t change just because we’re facing another team that’s had a lot of success to start the season.”

Chris Pawola broke the 100-yard rushing mark Saturday for Sycamore

for the second time this year, giving him 304 yards on 65 carries with four touchdowns. Quarterback Brett Bemis leads the team in rushing (77-393-4) and also has thrown for 502 yards, four touchdowns and five interceptions.

“Our running game has been good, for the most part, this year,” Ryan said. “The passing game could be a little better – we haven’t come up with some catches we need to and sometimes we make the wrong read.

But those are areas we continue to work on and get better at each week.”

Two more losses would eliminate the Spartans from the postseason, and even one more loss would make things more difficult – 5-4 doesn’t guarantee a playoff berth, but it’s likely given their strength of schedule. Ryan said his team is primed to make the run it needs.

“They get it,” Ryan said. “They see things they have to improve upon, and they’re not major things and they don’t come from lack of being aggressive. On special teams, it’s errors from kids being too fast in lanes and not keeping lane integrity.

It’s not about them not caring and jogging down the field. Everyone plays well and tries to do the right things. Everyone cares. When it’s 16-, 17-year-olds, sometimes it’s easier to correct than if they didn’t care.”

championship match, but the winner is definitely the prohibitive favorite to come away with a conference title – which would be the second in as many years for DeKalb.

Kaneland coach Tom Fedderly said his team needs to limit the big play – which also means special teams. In a win at Rich Central two weeks ago, the Knights gave up a kick return for a touchdown. Cole Tucker has had some big returns for the Barbs this year, including one for a score against Sycamore.

“We are well aware that they have film on us,” Fedderly said. “We just put a big emphasis on that this week and we will be ready.”

DeKalb coach Matt Weckler said the Barbs need to get better along the offensive line, which has had its injury issues this year. In their two lopsided wins against West Chicago and McHenry, they have run for an average 260 yards. In their loss to Plainfield North and close win against Sycamore, they are averaging 103.5 rushing yards.

“After watching the film against Sycamore, we found obviously that we obviously didn’t grade out that well up front,” Weckler said. “We have to clean up some things we did not do very well. To be successful we have to play our best game. We’ve talked about this being a conference-championship atmosphere type game, in that we have to prepare Kaneland (3-1 overall, 1-0 just like we would if we were playing Northern Illinois Big 12 East) a championship game.

Last meeting: The Rockets won, 32-12, last year at Burlington.

Scouting the Rockets: They almost picked up their first win last week, and had a late drive to win the game. The 14 points were their highest scoring output of the year. They get ready to face a G-K team that has given up fewer than 20 points in three of its four games this year.

Ryan Doubek started the year at quarterback, but Cameron Kaldenberger took over last week.

What’s at stake: Short fields, defense and special teams powered the Cogs last week, winning with 40 points on only 308 yards of total offense. Quarterback Zach Butler attempted three passes, all for touchdowns. He has five TD passes and no interceptions this year in only 10 attempts for 247 yards.

Keegan Shannon leads the Cogs’ rushing attack with 237 yards on 55 carries, while four players, including Butler, have at least 91 yards on the ground.

“We’ve just got to play hard,” McCarty said. “It’s always the general things – keep ball control, limit turnovers and, hopefully, get some turnovers ourselves. It’s just about the fundamentals.”

In a quirk of the schedule, the Cogs went from playing an undefeated Marengo team to playing two winless teams in a row – Rockford Christian and Burlington Central.

Johnsburg, on next week’s schedule, is undefeated, as well.

“Those are made years in advance and that’s how it just happens to fall,” McCarty said. “You never know.

Certain teams have bad luck by injuries. You take a couple good players away from and undefeated team and they’re maybe not undefeated. It just is what it is.”

Alden-Hebron, 28-0. The Hawks beat Mooseheart, 51-22.

Last meeting: Hiawatha needed a win in the regular-season finale to be playoff eligible, but lost, 68-14, to the Eagles last year.

Scouting the Eagles: They held Alden-Hebron – which had scored 91 points in the two weeks prior – to only 64 yards of total offense. They ground it out in the win, throwing for only 18 yards. Raheem Johnson had 183 rushing yards to lead the way.

“They’re solid all around. They’re fast, they’re strong and they’ve got a good core group of returning kids,” Hiawatha coach Sean Donnelly said.

“They’re going to be tough, as they always are. We know defensively they are going to run a 3-4, and offensively, they do a lot of stuff.

They change formations and come up with plays that kept our defensive coordinator up late all this week.”

What’s at stake: The Hawks are facing their toughest challenge since Week 1, a 48-8 loss to a Marquette team that still is undefeated.

“We have to play mistake-free football, No. 1,” Donnelly said. “No turnovers, no silly penalties that take yards away from us or give yards to them. We can’t miss assignments and have to be in position to make plays. Offensively, we can’t run with them and we know that. They are a team filled with track stars. The big thing for us will be to make clean, short passes, get upfield and get whatever yards we can.”

Last week, Evan Williams had a breakout game in his second game of the year. The senior quarterback threw for 163 yards and four touchdowns.

“Any rust Evan had is completely off,” Donnelly said. “We did a much better job of catching the ball last week at Mooseheart, which helps.

We’re back into the offensive formations that we thought we’d be able to run over this summer.”

Freshman RB Alstott emerging for the Knights • FOOTBALL

Kaneland freshman running back Jonathan Alstott carries the ball on a running drill Sept. 16 at Kaneland High School in Maple Park. Alstott has emerged in the past two games for the Knights, topping 100 yards in both and adding an element to their offense.

Continued from page B1 Freshman Jonathan Alstott has emerged in the past two games for the Knights, topping 100 yards in both and adding an element to their offense.

“When you can run the ball and you can be two-dimensional because you don’t just have to depend on Jake to run and pass – and he’s been really good at both this year –that puts a lot of stress on the defense,” Fedderly said. “We just want to try to be balanced yardwise and try to do both.

We are really happy with his progression.”

Last year, the Barbs won 37-34 in Maple Park, because of a late interception by Thomas Lowie. They led 37-20 early in the fourth quarter before the Knights stormed back.

“We’re expecting the same pattern, same similarities

Shaw Media file photo

that they have,” Lowie said.

“We’re keeping our eyes open, our DBs are working hard and we’re looking at a lot of their key players, keeping our head straight and focusing on the goal.”

Although the Barbs still

have games against East Division foes Yorkville and Morris after this week, Weckler said this week’s contest has the feeling of a conference title game.

“We’re going to do that the next four weeks, as well, as we compete against teams from

the east side,” Weckler said.

“It’s what we consider a murderers’ row. We have some awesome competition coming up week after week after week. We’re going to have to play our best and continue to get better each week.”

District attorney to speak at news conference today • KANE

Continued from page B1 the confusion over the bag.

The woman’s mother did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment from The Associated Press.

The AP does not identify people who allegedly have been sexually assaulted unless they have come forward and voluntarily identified themselves.

The reversal comes after

police said Wednesday that the rape kit and its packaging were handled properly. Erie County District Attorney Frank Sedita, reached at home after the news conference, declined comment but Patrick Kane said he would address the issue on today at a previously scheduled news conference.

Eoannou said he con-

firmed with prosecutors investigating the case that the bag is authentic. But he said he doesn’t know what evidence the bag contained.

Eoannou raised questions about the bag Wednesday, saying the folded up paper bag was found by the woman’s mother in between her storm door and her front door.

“I don’t know what’s true and what’s not true,” Eoannou said Thursday night.

The case has been the

source of intense speculation and rumor since August, when Kane was accused of assaulting the young woman in his waterfront mansion after they met at a nightclub.

He has not been charged. Authorities have said only that they are investigating.

Kane last week said he did nothing wrong and expected to be absolved. He also apologized for the distraction he has caused his family, teammates, the Hawks organization and fans.

4 ADVICE & PUZZLES • Friday, September 25, 2015 • Section B • Daily Chronicle / Daily-Chronicle.com

Two heads are no better than one at grocery store checkout Dear Abby: There are no words to express how disappointed I am at the education kids receive now and still graduate with “honors.”

I was at the grocery store a short time ago. Two young ladies working there just completed their freshman year at the local college.

One of them had been on the honor roll all through high school.

I bought four packages of gravy mix that were on sale – four packages for $1.

As the cashier rang it up, I noticed that she had entered them at 44 cents apiece.

When I brought it to her attention, she asked the other cashier if that was right.

She asked, “Forty-four cents,

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips wouldn’t that be four for $1?”

The other one picked up a calculator to find the answer.

Can you tell me, what did this honor student learn in school? Both girls are in college. My heart is broken for our kids. Maybe we need to go back to teaching like when I was a kid. Just call me ... Grandparent in Texas Dear Grandparent: Frankly, your letter leaves me at a loss for words. I can only say that the problems with our educational system will not be resolved in an advice

column. Readers?

Dear Abby: I was sober for a year when I met my husband.

Neither my alcoholism nor my 24 years of perfect sobriety have ever caused any upset for anyone in his family.

His niece will be married later this year in a winery in another state. The thought of it makes me anxious, and I am opting to not attend with my husband.

Abby, I am not a “special” aunt, and I have no place in the wedding, which will be large.

Some family members think I’m being selfish, but I believe I am my first responsibility. They are not the sort

you can talk to, so please advise. Am I being selfish? –

Very Sad in Pennsylvania Dear Very Sad: Not in my

opinion. Your reason for not attending makes sense to me, and it’s not “selfish” to skip an event at which you would not be comfortable.

If you send your husband – and a nice wedding gift – I’m sure the bride will forgive your absence. And for those who would hold it against you, “remind” them that although you have maintained your sobriety for many years, it can’t be taken for granted because sobriety is a day-to-day challenge for people with alcoholism.

Dear Abby: My friend and I have a disagreement. We do

crossword puzzles together at the dog park.

She says using a thesaurus/dictionary is cheating. I say that if I look something up and then write it down, I’m learning. What say you, Abby? – William In Oceans-

ide, Calif.

Dear William: I agree with

you.

For this friend to shame you because you need a little help with the answers isn’t very nice. The next time she says it, smile and ask her what a five-letter word with a “t” in the middle is.

New medications can help alleviate restless legs syndrome Note to readers: This column is an update of one that ran originally in July 2012.

Dear Dr. K: I’ve just been diagnosed with restless legs syndrome. Can you tell me the latest medicines for this condition?

Dear Reader: Restless legs syndrome is a neurological condition that causes uncomfortable sensations in the legs.

In describing these odd sensations, my patients use words such as “tingling,” “prickly,” “crawling,” “pulling” and, sometimes, “painful.”

The discomfort of RLS usually comes with an overwhelming urge to move the legs. In fact, moving the legs may actually make them temporarily feel better. RLS also can cause occasional jerking

ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff leg movements during sleep.

That’s why doctors often call it a “movement disorder.”

RLS symptoms tend to worsen when you’re inactive, particularly at bedtime. As a result, many people, as you do, find it hard to fall and stay asleep. Then a vicious cycle can set in. Poor quality sleep makes you feel generally worse and may make the unpleasant sensations worse as well. That’s because when you don’t get enough sleep, all sorts of bodily sensations – particularly pain – are amplified.

Treatment will depend on how severe your symptoms

are. If they are mild, then exercising, stretching or massaging your legs or taking a hot bath may bring relief.

In the past, we’ve talked in this space about lifestyle changes that can help to reduce the symptoms of RLS. But you asked specifically about medications.

Several different medicines can improve or even eliminate the bothersome symptoms.

The first may surprise you: iron pills. That’s because people who have deficient levels of iron in their body are much more likely to develop restless legs syndrome. Menstruating women sometimes develop iron deficiency because they lose iron in their blood each month, but there is no similar common cause

of blood loss in men. If your blood iron levels are definitely low, or even if they are in the low normal range, you should talk with your doctor about iron pills.

The more conventional drugs that are used for RLS include the following, taken alone or in combination: • Dopaminergic agents usually relieve discomfort and improve sleep quality. The two most commonly prescribed drugs are pramipexole and ropinirole. A relatively new drug of this type is rotigotine.

It is available as a pill and also as a skin patch that you apply for a day, and replace the next morning with a fresh patch.

• Benzodiazepines are sedatives that improve sleep quality.

• Anticonvulsants are

especially useful in patients whose symptoms are painful.

• Opioids are narcotics, such as codeine and oxycodone. They relieve pain and suppress symptoms. Opioids are generally reserved for people with severe, unrelenting symptoms that do not respond to other treatments.

As is often true in medicine, you and your doctor may need to try different treatments, in different doses and combinations, to find out which is best for you.

But after that period of trial and error, you’re likely to get that good night’s sleep you’ve been dreaming of.

A list of simple things everyone can do to help save our planet Note to readers: The following column first appeared April 1, 2015 in the Daily Chronicle.

Dr. Wallace: I belong to an after-school club called “Help Save our Planet.” All of our members are concerned about our planet and want to do what we can to make positive our planet lives on forever.

CROSSWORD

Full deal would lead the player Fletcher Knebel, an author of political fiction who died in 1993, said, “Smoking is one of the leading causes of statistics.”

When you play bridge, keeping some statistics is not a bad idea. In a duplicate, for example, note how many times your opponents are going down. If a lot, you are not doubling enough. When you are on opening lead, how often do you make the best start? You must treat this one carefully, because some “best opening leads” are hard to find.

You are West, on lead after that Stayman auction. Which card would you choose?

From the auction you learned that dummy has four spades. Without a major, he wouldn’t have used Stayman; and with four hearts, he would have raised his partner’s suit.

However, probably it is best to lead a spade, despite dummy’s having four. You hope partner has a useful doubleton; preferably king- or ace-doubleton, but ten-doubleton might be enough.

The layout of your dreams exists in this deal. But note that you must “forget” the textbook advice to lead the top of three touching honors. If you choose the queen, you irreparably block the suit.

When an opponent is known to have four-card length, lead fourth-highest; here, the three.

Presumably, declarer will play low from the dummy.

Your partner will win with his king and return the suit. Since declarer cannot get nine tricks without playing on diamonds, you defeat the contract.

Finally, note that if a psychic declarer calls for dummy’s ace at trick one, hope partner unblocks the king. If he does, sign him up as your bridge partner for life.

Walnut Street Daycare in Genoa held its second annual Trike-A-Thon last week to raise money for St. Jude Children’s Hospital. Children ages 6 weeks to 5 years old participated in the event. Parents brought their children’s bikes and they rode around the parking lot for a little less than an hour. With help from the parents, the school raised $3,116. Payton Odom (with the help of her mom) at just 1 year old raised $435, and Jaxson Starks, 3, raised $420. Before the event, a local police officer spoke to the children about bicycle safety. Connor Tindall is pictured sporting the medal he received for raising money online.

Jacqueline “Jackie” Strapp has joined Kishwaukee College as the coordinator of Retention and Student Success. She assumed her position in July.

Strapp, originally from Dolton, holds a bachelor’s degree in business/ advertising from North Park University and a master’s degree in counseling and college student development from DePaul UniverJackie sity. Before coming to Strapp Kishwaukee, she was a graduate coordinator of student success at Elmhurst College; student services manager for Kaplan Test Preparation; and events coordinator at North Park University.

As coordinator of Retention and Student Success at Kishwaukee College, Strapp will create intervention strategies for students who may need support services that are available at the college, designed to enhance their academic success.

“This is about helping students make the transition to college-level work,” she said in a news release. “Stu-

dents come to Kish ready to succeed.

All I need to do is show them how to use what is here to make that happen.”

One of the methods Strapp will use is CSD 100 The College Experience, a two-credit-hour course that guides students to being the best college students they can be.

“It is a course that really covers it all – academic strategies, how to be an active learner, life strategies, how to become a critical thinker and self-responsibility. All of these are what being a college student is about,” she said in the release.

Her first fall semester at Kishwaukee is a busy one with plans to expand the CSD 100 course, enhance systems of communication between faculty and staff regarding students who need additional academic assistance, and develop engaging methods of communication that highlight strategies for success.

As a first generation college student, Strapp enjoys helping others achieve their own vision of success.

“I try to give students resources that are commonly overlooked, but can make a huge difference in achieving success,” she said in the release.

Gratitude event scheduled this weekend at Sycamore church “What are you grateful for?” This is the question that was posed to the entire congregation of Sycamore United Methodist in September.

People have been encouraged to write or email their responses, words or pictures, and the items will be incorporated into a Power-

Point to the song “10,000 Reasons” at all three worship services Saturday and Sunday.

Music Director Bev Rauch got the initial inspiration for the event when her daughter Talina shared the song with her two or three years ago, although gratitude has been a

strong lifelong interest. Rauch feels that our measure of gratitude “helps define us as an individual, and a society, and that showing gratitude can transform us and our communities.”

In addition to the PowerPoint, created by Jim McCue, Mary Lou

Eubanks, Kattie O’Malley and Bev Rauch will share their thoughts on thankfulness, and the Youth Ensemble and Adult Choir will perform special music. Instrumentalists Craig Fritz, KC Bergland, Jim Selig and Steve Rauch will participate.

Worship on Saturday takes place

at 5 p.m. and the Sunday services are at 8:30 and 10 a.m. The church is at 160 Johnson Ave. in Sycamore, and child care is offered at the 10 a.m. service.

For information, call the church office at 815-895-9113, or visit www. sycamoreumc.org.
