DeKALB – Geneva’s economic development director is making the jump to DeKalb, where she’ll lead efforts to attract businesses and foster development.

Ellen Divita will start in her new position as community development director Nov. 20 in DeKalb, DeKalb officials announced FriEllen Divita day.

In her new role, Divita will oversee a rebuilt community development department with four full-time and four part-time staff members, including two part-time property maintenance inspectors she will hire. Divita also will be part of developing and implementing the city’s new commercial building inspection ordinance.

“Economic development

is about influencing investment and communities with better business climates to do a better job attracting investments,” Divita said. “That starts with a predictable and known development process.”

Divita has been the economic development director for the city of Geneva since 2008. She previously worked as the deputy director of community development for the village of Mount Prospect and as director of economic development for St. Charles and Woodstock. Divita has a master’s degree in urban planning and a bachelor’s degree in communication from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

DeKalb City Manager Anne Marie Gaura said 43 people applied for the position, which was created as part of the budget year that started July 1.

City staff interviewed six candidates.

Air traffic center fire snarls flights

jhaish@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – Melanie Watkins and her husband plan to always look at flood plain maps of the area when looking for a new home.

It’s something they never would have considered before spending 12 years at Evergreen Village Mobile Home Park, 955 E. State St. near Sycamore. They’re eager to get out of the park before any more flooding; Watkins said if it rains 3 inches, she has water in her home.

“Before, I always listened to the rain,” Watkins said. “I don’t even like the sound of it any more.”

After months of searching, Watkins and her husband have found that in the past few weeks many properties that would be in their price range have quickly been scooped up by other buyers. She’s concerned about finding a home that will fit their needs as DeKalb County leaders proceed with a buyout plan that will return the floodprone mobile home park to open space.

CHICAGO – A contract employee set a fire at a suburban Chicago air traffic control center where he worked, bringing two of the nation’s busiest airports to a halt Friday, according to a criminal complaint.

The complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Chicago charges Brian Howard, 36, of Naperville with one count of destruction of aircraft or aircraft facilities, a felony. The FBI said Howard remains hospitalized because of his injuries and that no court date for him has been scheduled.

Delays and cancellations rippled through the air travel network from coast to coast after the fire. The ground stoppage at O’Hare and Midway airports immediately raised questions about whether the Federal Aviation Administration has adequate backup plans to keep planes moving when a single facility has to shut down.

By late afternoon, about 1,950 flights in and out of Chicago had been canceled. A few flights resumed around midday, after a nearly five-hour gap. The planes were moving at a much-reduced pace, officials said, and no one could be sure when full service would be restored.

The early morning fire forced the evacuation of the control center in Aurora, about 40 miles west of downtown Chicago. It was the second unexpected shutdown of a Chicago-area air traffic facility since May. Howard worked for the FAA contractor that supplies and maintains communications systems at air traffic facilities, said Jessica Cigich, a spokeswoman for Professional Aviation Safety Specialists, the union that represents FAA technicians. He recently was told he was being transferred to Hawaii, the complaint said.

I agree with Ryan Taylor and others who say that police “safety checkpoints” are unconstitutional.

People in America who are going about their business should not be stopped and made to show police their papers for no reason.

If only the U.S. Supreme Court saw things that way. In 1990, the court held that these kinds of checkpoints are legal.

That doesn’t mean our state police have to conduct them. It is within our power to change the law.

I also believe in civil disobedience, that it is noble for people to refuse to comply with laws they consider unjust if they do so peacefully in order to make a statement. Do it enough, and it can lead to real change, as leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Mohandas Gandhi proved.

But I also think of civil rights as a shield to protect us from government overreach, not a sword for doing battle with any cops who happen to be handy.

When people set out to “flex their rights” and record themselves messing with police on camera, it can be a turnoff.

That was the feeling a lot of people had after viewing the video Taylor posted online this week that’s “gone viral,” or been watched hundreds of thousands of times online.

Taylor made the video, which you can see here (on our website at Daily-Chronicle.com) with a camera mounted on his car’s dashboard as he drove through a police roadside safety checkpoint on Annie Glidden Road near Hillcrest Drive. When an Illinois State Trooper approaches, he starts his rap.

Taylor asks why he’s being pulled over, the trooper tells him they’re doing a roadside safety check. In a bit of street lawyering, Taylor tells the trooper the roadside check is unconstitutional and that he’s not obligated to provide his driver’s license and insurance.

The police counter with the classic “good cop, bad cop” routine.

As Taylor is talking to the “good cop,” the “bad cop” jumps in, opens Taylor’s driver’s-side door and gets in his face, telling him that he is obligated to cooperate, and to get out of the car.

Taylor never gets out of the car, and

Small towns rescuing, restoring movie theaters

By BARBARA RODRIGUEZ The Associated Press WEBSTER CITY, Iowa – When the historic downtown movie theater in Webster City, Iowa, went bankrupt and shut down last year, some wondered whether it was further proof of the small town’s demise after a factory closure put hundreds out of work.

“This community, not more than a year ago, was labeled as done. Shut the lights off – we’re done,” said theater volunteer Jake Pulis, recalling concerns after the appliance plant closed in the central Iowa town.

Instead, residents rallied around the theater. They held public meetings, hashed out volunteer work and launched a fundraising campaign. More than $200,000 later, the theater reopened Saturday with a newly renovated marquee, an ode to its appearance in the 1940s.

“We’re just getting started,” said Deb Brown, another theater volunteer.

Webster City’s story is playing out across the country, as residents of small communities work to save their historic downtown movie theaters. To many, the hope is that a theater’s revival could aid a community’s revival, too.

When the Egyptian Theatre in Coos Bay, Oregon, closed in 2011, a nonprofit group that had already been refurbishing the concession area and marquee managed to raise more

A car drives past the Webster Theater recently in Webster City, Iowa. When the theater shut down last year, some wondered whether it was further proof of the small townís demise following a factory closure that put hundreds out of work. Instead, residents rallied around the theater. More than $200,000 later, the theater is scheduled to reopen this month. money needed to fix the building’s shaky foundation.

It reopened in June, a move that’s led to more people visiting nearby restaurants after movies, said Kara Long, executive director of the theater’s preservation association. She noted a local brewery had recently partnered with them for a beer and movie night.

“They said, ‘This theater being open and this kind of event is why we wanted to open our brewery here,’ ” she said.

Such positive effects are common when small town theaters are revived, said Patrice Frey, president and CEO of the

National Main Street Center, a group that offers tools for revitalizing main street areas.

“Renovations become a real rallying cry for the community. It provides a sense of focus,” she said.

In Spencer, Indiana, about an hour outside Indianapolis, volunteers, a nonprofit group and private donors reopened the 86-year-old Tivoli Theatre in 2013, more than a decade after it was shuttered. Besides movies, the venue now is used for plays, meetings and classroom field trips.

“It’s a sign of hope that the downtown square can be saved,” said Robert White,

board president of the county preservation group that bought the building in 2005.

No one tracks how many historic movie theaters are being restored, but Richard Fosbrink, executive director of the Elmhurst, Illinois-based Theatre Historical Society of America, said he’s seen more projects recently.

He credits the connections people have with their local movie theaters.

“It could be the theater that you went on your first date.

Or it could be the theater that your grandparents met in. Or your great aunt was the candy counter girl,” he said.

Sycamore’s Tommy O’s to close

By JESSI HAISH jhaish@shawmedia.com

Jessi Haish – jhaish@shawmedia.com

West Elementary School students return from a fundraising walk Friday. Students raised money from family and friends to go toward the West School Organization and students walked the equivalent distance of traveling to Orlando, Florida. More than $10,000 was raised to go toward field trips for students.

West Elementary walk raises funds for field trips

By JESSI HAISH jhaish@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – Connor Hughes spent his birthday walking to Orlando, Florida, and he made it back to Sycamore before school ended Friday.

Hughes, 7, raised $300 for the trek to Orlando, which included all of the students of West Elementary School, 240 S. Fair St. Although the students didn’t actually make the walk to Florida, they did walk a combined total of 1,171 miles, which would have gotten them there.

Students asked for money from families and supporters to complete the annual walk, which benefits the West School Organization, the parent-teacher organization. More than $10,000 was raised, which will go toward school field trips.

First-grade teacher Adam Williams said the annual event is a good way to fund those trips

“We will be able to have some awesome field trips because of this, this year.”

Rebecca Dahn Principal of West Elementary School

so money doesn’t need to come from parents’ pockets. He said the fifth-graders’ annual trip to Springfield can cost about $2,000.

“It’s a lot better than selling candy bars, too,” Williams said.

Classes took staggered walks throughout the day around the block nearest to the school to complete the mileage, and parent volunteers were stationed on the route to cheer the students. Principal Rebecca Dahn said it was a healthy way to get the children involved, and it taught them other skills,

as well.

Williams talked to students about the different sights they would be able to see in Orlando and on the way, like the Kennedy Space Center and Disney World. Some of the older students learned about mileage.

Williams said Orlando was chosen because the school had traveled to many other places in past years’ fundraising walks, but had yet to go somewhere in the southeastern United States.

The grade level that earned the most money will earn an extra field trip this school year, Dahn said. The students will find out the winner Monday.

The top fundraising student brought in $440 dollars for the organization, which Dahn said ends up benefiting the students in the end.

“We will be able to have some awesome field trips because of this, this year,” Dahn said.

SYCAMORE – Camille Asanoski refers to her business as mama’s house, and she’s thinking fondly about old memories as she prepares to close.

Asanoski, owner of Tommy O’s Family Restaurant, 107 S. Sacramento St., said Sunday will be the last day Tommy O’s is open. Camille and her husband Jesse have owned the restaurant since 2008, although its was first established in 1948 and renamed Tommy O’s in 1990 by then-owner Tom Oestreicher of Sycamore. It has remained under that name since.

Asanoski said she mostly wants to thank all of her loyal customers, who she considers friends.

“This is a good town, with friendly people,” she said.

“The customers are like family. We call them friends, not customers.”

Camille Asanoski said she found out last week that the owners were planning to sell the property when inspectors stopped by the restaurant. A representative at Summers Property Management, which manages the property, declined to comment.

Jessi Haish – jhaish@shawmedia.com

Jesse and Camille Asanoski, owners of Tommy O’s Family Restaurant, 107 S. Sacramento St. in Sycamore, will run Tommy O’s through Sunday, the last day the restaurant will be open.

Asanoski said she and her husband planned to retire at the restaurant, which is the third they’ve operated, so she is sad.

She said as the mama, she spent many days giving advice, or lending an ear. She said as word has spread about their plans to close, she’s received many hugs from customers, as well.

“Sycamore people are the best people in the world,” she said. “This is an amazing little place. This place has been here forever. It’s old just like me.

We just had no idea. But life

works in mysterious ways.”

When Asanoski decided to close, she told Mayor Ken Mundy first, who she said is a loyal customer. Mundy said he’s enjoyed ordering a special when he goes there, which is two eggs, two sausages, two pieces of bacon and two pancakes.

He said he is pleased that there is still interest in the property in Sycamore.

“They’re really nice people, and I ate a lot of breakfast there,” Mundy said. “It is what it is. Things change, and we go on.”

Quinn touts support from women without Steinem

By KERRY LESTER The Associated Press CHICAGO – Famed women’s rights activist Gloria Steinem did not make it to Chicago as scheduled Friday to personally endorse Gov. Pat Quinn in a tough re-election race but her support allowed the Democratic governor to tout his support from women anyway.

Steinem’s flight to Chicago from New York was cancelled after a fire at an air traffic control facility halted all flights in and out of Chicago.

The “Women for Quinn”

OBITUARIES DEBRA A. DURHAM Born: Sept. 19, 1952 Died: Sept. 24, 2014 Debra A. Durham, age 62, formerly of Rockford, surrendered to a long battle with cancer on Wednesday, September 24, 2014, in her home.

Born September 19, 1952, in Rockford, the daughter of Alan and Carolyn (Messinger) Fosler.

Debra married James Durham on January 19, 1974, in Rockford.

She loved her family and enjoyed hosting holiday dinners.

Deb worked many years in retail, and was a “poster child” for treating a customer with kindness and respect. She enjoyed people and was one of those “Red Hat Ladies”.

Deb always had an open ear for whatever was troubling you, and always wanted to help. She loved music and was a member of the church choir.

She is survived by her husband, James; son, Jeffery (Stephanie) Durham along with their newly adopted grandson, Jy’Aire; sisters, Cathy (Dan Schuelke) Eissens of Roscoe, and Wendy ( Wendell) Thompson of Loves Park.

The family would like to thank the staff of O.S.F. Cancer Center, O.S.F. Hospice for their kind and gentle care. The family also wants to thank St. Catherine Church in Genoa, and St. Bridget Church in Loves Park, and many others for the prayers and kindness throughout this battle.

Mass of Christian Burial will be at 10:30 a.m., Monday, September 29, 2014, in St. Bridget Catholic Church, 600 Clifford Ave., Loves Park, with Rev. Msgr. Daniel Deutsch officiating. Burial in Sunset Memorial Gardens, Machesney Park. Visitation will be from 9:30 a.m. to 10:15 a.m., prior to the service in the church.

Memorials can be sent to donor’s choice.

event went ahead without Steinem, with the governor stressing his support for abortion rights, equal pay for women and other issues. Quinn is in a tight re-election battle with Republican candidate Bruce Rauner, who said he is focused on the Illinois economy and does not have a social agenda.

Noting that “the fight against women’s and economic and reproductive rights has shifted to the states,” Steinem said in a statement, the country “needs more leaders who aren’t afraid to do what’s right.”

Steinem has in the past

President Toni Preckwinkle calling Quinn the “most pro-woman” governor the state has had.

Rauner’s campaign responded that Quinn had failed the women of Illinois through the governor’s support of budgets that have cut education and domestic violence funding, and by “failing to create good jobs for Illinoisans.”

“Women are deeply disappointed by Pat Quinn’s failures,” Rauner spokeswoman, Lyndsey Walters, said Friday.

Women, particularly those in the independent, moderate

suburbs, are viewed as a key swing vote in the contest.

In the 2010 governor’s race, Quinn was able to use Republican Bill Brady’s conservative positions on abortion to bring those votes his way, beating the Bloomington state senator by a margin of less than half of a percentage point.

“The women’s vote is critical to Pat Quinn, particularly the votes of single women, single moms. This’s a group that doesn’t reliably vote in nonpresidential elections,” David Yepsen, Director of the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute

Illinois schools seeking detector installation The ASSOCIATED PRESS SPRINGFIELD – Some Illinois school officials who don’t want to wait months to find out if they have to install carbon monoxide detectors are taking matters into their own hands.

Last week, state Sen. Sam McCann introduced legislation requiring school buildings to be equipped with the detectors. The proposal follows a carbon monoxide leak in a Macoupin County school, which sent 150 students and staff to a local hospital.

Maroa-Forsyth school chief Mike Williams told the Springfield bureau of Lee Enterprises that the incident at North Mac Junior High prompted him to get carbon monoxide detectors installed near furnaces and water heaters.

“It is better to be safe than sorry,” he said.

Sangamon Valley School District Superintendent Ernie Fowler recently ordered detectors for all of the schools in his district. He also gave principals directions on how to respond if the gas is detected.

Jeff Holmes, superintendent of the Clinton School District, said he plans to ask school board members to approve the installation of carbon monoxide detectors at the high school and junior high.

“When you are talking about the safety of individuals sometimes you just have to take care of it,” he said.

Since schools are already required to have smoke detectors, McCann said it is reasonable to also enforce the

“I by no means am thinking that the bill in its current form will be the bill that becomes law. It’s designed to be the catalyst for the conversation that needs to occur.”

Pentagon wants tighter soldier loan protections

By JIM KUHNHENN The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Aiming to restrict lenders who prey on members of the military, the Obama administration Friday moved to close legal loopholes that have placed hundreds of thousands of service members at risk of excessive payday and other short-term loan fees.

The Defense Department proposed new rules to toughen a 2006 law that limits interest rates for certain types of credit

available to service members and their dependents.

Under current law, lenders cannot charge members of the military more than 36 percent interest. But the loans covered by the law are so narrowly defined that lenders can make simple adjustments to get around its provisions.

The proposed rules would broaden the definition of consumer credit so that more loans would fall under the provisions of the 2006 law. Final rules likely won’t take effect

until next year. Currently, transactions covered by the 36 percent cap on interest are limited to payday loans of $2,000 or less with terms of no more than 91 days, loans that are secured by a personal vehicle with terms of no more than 181 days, and tax refund anticipation loans.

But the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Pentagon have found that in some cases lenders slightly altered the loans, adding $1 to the loan or one day to the terms

to bypass the interest cap.

In testimony to the Senate Commerce Committee last year, Holly Petraeus, the head of the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau’s office for service member affairs, recounted instances in which service members from North Carolina and Delaware who each took out loans at an annual percentage rate of nearly 585 percent.

The 36 percent cap did not apply because the loans were structured as open-end lines of credit.

State Sen. Sam McCann requirement of carbon monoxide detectors.

“I was very surprised to find out they were not required,” he said.

Although McCann’s proposal would establish the exact placement of the approved carbon monoxide detector models, it doesn’t specify who would pay for them.

The Illinois Association of School Boards believes local school districts should decide whether or not they want to install the detectors, according to Ben Schwarm, the organization’s deputy executive director. But if the state mandates the units, funding should be provided.

“If the state thinks it’s a high enough priority, they should budget for it,” he said.

Mike Chamness, a spokesman for the Illinois Association of School Administrators, agrees with Schwarm.

“I by no means am thinking that the bill in its current form will be the bill that becomes law. It’s designed to be the catalyst for the conversation that needs to occur,” McCann said.

Ferguson unrest persists despite chief’s gesture

By JIM SUHR The Associated Press FERGUSON, Mo. – Cast as an olive branch by some, the Ferguson police chief’s attempt to march with protesters demanding charges in the killing of an unarmed, black 18-yearold by a white officer still erupted into a clash that activists Friday blamed on police missteps.

The trouble Thursday night came hours after Police Chief Tom Jackson released a videotaped apology to Michael Brown’s family, although it drew skepticism from residents and protesters who still crave answers about Brown’s Aug. 9 death even as a county grand jury weighs whether to indict the Ferguson officer who shot him, Darren Wilson, and the Justice Department investigates whether Brown’s civil rights were violated.

The latest unrest occurred two days after many in the St.

Louis suburb complained Ferguson police did little to douse a fire that destroyed one of two makeshift memorials near where Brown died.

“You have people grasping for a crumb of justice,” protester Charles Wade, 31, of Austin, Texas, said Friday near a small canopy where protesters regularly have gathered across the street from the police station since shortly after Brown’s death. “There’s a circle of trauma that keeps happening.”

He said Thursday night’s protesters appeared largely unmoved by Jackson’s video apology, saying they “felt it was more of a PR move than sincere.” In it, Jackson acknowledged Brown’s body should have been removed from the street much sooner than the four hours it remained there as police collected evidence.

“I’m truly sorry for that,” Jackson said, insisting officers meant no disrespect to Brown’s

in Shelby County, Tennessee.

Devin James told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch the shooting was self-defense and he served 90 days in prison and five years of probation.

James and Jackson did not return messages to The Associated Press seeking comment Friday.

Col. Ron Replogle of the Missouri State Highway Patrol said Friday that Missouri police have been undergoing training on responding to civil unrest, buying more equipment and “planning for the worst” throughout the St. Louis region AP photo if a grand jury opts not to indict Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson begins to march Thursday with pro- Wilson.

It is Pryor v. Cotton v.

Discover Obama in Arkansas race

By DAVID ESPO The Associated Press PICKENS, Ark. – In a Senate race as pivotal as any in the country, Arkansas Democratic Sen. Mark Pryor is running against Republican Rep. Tom Cotton, who is running against President Barack Obama.

All else is secondary, including a clash over agriculture and issues, a caustic tidal wave of television ads washing over voters and an intensive effort

by Democrats to register thousands of new voters in a state that has turned several shades redder since Obama took office.

Cotton is “the only member of the Arkansas delegation, House or Senate, Republican or Democrat, to vote to raise the age for Medicare to 70,” Pryor said recently as he issued a campaign booklet that detailed spending cuts he said his opponent has supported in Congress. He also frequently points out his challenger was the only lawmaker from Arkansas to oppose the most recent farm bill.

Cotton’s reply? The 37-yearold first-term House member

scarcely seems to utter a sentence that doesn’t include the president’s name.

“I vote a hundred percent of the time with Arkansas’ best interests. He votes 93 percent of the time with Barack Obama,” he said, adding: “I don’t know many Arkansans who think that Barack Obama is right 93 percent of the time.”

Cotton is one of the many Republicans to inject Obama into his campaign in a year the GOP is battling for control of the Senate. Yet the Democrats’ multimillion-dollar program to turn out new, midterm election voters in key states will be tested in Arkansas as much as anywhere, given recent polls suggesting a close race.

Obama’s unpopularity in Arkansas is not in dispute, despite a Democratic tradition so thick that Roosevelt Road carries traffic up to the perimeter of the Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport in the capital city. Six years ago, Pryor had no Republican opposition for re-election. Democrats held the state’s other Senate seat and three of four House seats.

witnesses said. Several protesters were arrested.

“It was the police’s fault. If (the officers) had just not come in, everything would be all right,” protester Steven Wash, 26, of Ferguson, said Friday.

“It was absolute mayhem,” Wade added. “Jackson decided to come out and broker some peace and pretty much asked what he could do to build a new level of trust, and police continued to come, come, come.

The olive branch he tried to extend was great, and it showed he wasn’t a robot. But police forced him out like he was a diplomat in a war zone.”

Activist groups continued pressing for Jackson to resign Friday, issuing a news release.

Montague Simmons, leader of one of the groups, the Organization for Black Struggle, accused the chief of pandering to cameras and “throwing out empty promises of accountability” as “a charlatan in uniform.”

Employees and friends wait Thursday behind a tape for word of loved ones as police investigate an incident at Vaughn Foods in Moore, Okla. Police said a man fired from the plant beheaded a woman and was attacking another worker when he was shot and wounded by a company official.

Tuesday, September 30th

Police: Woman beheaded at Oklahoma workplace OKLAHOMA CITY – A man fired from an Oklahoma food processing plant beheaded a woman with a knife and was attacking another worker when he was shot and wounded by a company official, police said Friday.

Moore Police Sgt. Jeremy Lewis said police are waiting until Alton Nolen, 30, is conscious to arrest him in Thursday’s attack and have asked the FBI to help investigate after co-workers at Vaughan Foods in the south Oklahoma City suburb told authorities that he recently started trying to convert several employees to Islam.

Nolen allegedly stabbed Colleen Hufford, 54, severing her head, Lewis said.

“Yes, she was beheaded,” Lewis told The Associated Press before a Friday news

conference.

Lewis said Nolen then allegedly stabbed Traci Johnson, 43, a number of times before Mark Vaughan, a reserve sheriff’s deputy and the company’s chief operating officer, shot him.

“This was not going to stop if he didn’t stop it. It could have gotten a lot worse,” Lewis said. “The threat had already stopped once we arrived.”

Lewis said Moore police have asked the FBI to look into the man’s background because of the nature of the attack, which follows a series of videotaped beheadings by Islamic State militants.

In a statement, FBI Special Agent in Charge James E. Finch said the motive for the attack has not been determined but that there is no reason to believe there is a threat to anyone else.

Johnson and the suspect were hospitalized and in sta-

ble condition Friday, Lewis said. He did not yet know what charges will be filed.

Oklahoma Department of Corrections records indicate Nolen has served time in prison and is on probation for assault and battery on a police officer. He also was convicted of cocaine possession with intent to distribute in 2011.

Corrections records show Nolen has multiple, apparently religious tattoos, including one referencing Jesus and one in Arabic that means “peace be with you.”

Lewis said Nolen had been fired in a building that houses the company’s human resources office, then immediately drove to the entrance of the business. Lewis said he didn’t know why the man was fired.

A Vaughan spokeswoman said the company was “shocked and deeply saddened” by the attack.

U.S.-led strikes hit ISIS group as coalition grows BEIRUT – American warplanes and drones hit Islamic State group tanks, Humvees, checkpoints and bunkers in airstrikes Friday targeting the extremists in Syria and Iraq, as the U.S.-led coalition expanded to include Britain, Denmark and Belgium.

The European countries committed to take part only in the Iraq part of the military campaign, leaving the operation in Syria to the United States and five Arab allies who began conducting airstrikes there on Tuesday. Still, the broadening of the coalition provides a welcome boost for President Barack Obama and the American-led campaign.

The U.S.-led operation aims to roll back and ultimately crush the Islamic State group, which has carved out a proto-state stretching from Syria’s northern border with Turkey to the outskirts of Baghdad. The militants have employed brute force to achieve their goals, massacring captured Syrian and Iraqi troops, terrorizing minorities in both countries and beheading two American journalists and a British aid worker.

While striking fear into its opponents, the Islamic State group’s tactics have also helped galvanize the international community to move against the extremists. France has already joined the U.S.-led effort in Iraq, and is considering expanding its role to Syria as well. The Netherlands, too, has said it would take part in the bombing campaign in Iraq.

Denmark, Belgium and Britain all signed on as well on Friday. Denmark said it would send seven F-16 fighter jets and 250 pilots and support staff, while Belgium will contribute six F-16s that are already en route to Jordan so they can go into action as early as Saturday.

“No one should be ducking in this case,” said Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt. “Everyone should contribute.”

British lawmakers also voted Friday to join the coalition.

London is expected to deploy Tornado fighters, which are in Cyprus – within striking distance of northern Iraq.

“This is about psychopathic terrorists that are trying to kill us and we do have to

realize that, whether we like it or not, they have already declared war on us,” Prime Minister David Cameron told a tense House of Commons in a more than six-hour debate.

“There isn’t a ‘walk on by’ option. There isn’t an option of just hoping this will go away.”

The European contingent will join a campaign has already carried out hundreds of airstrikes, the latest of which hit Islamic State positions in both Iraq and Syria late Thursday and Friday.

The U.S. Central Command said that airstrikes outside the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk destroyed three Islamic State Humvees, disabled two armed vehicles and damaged an armored truck. More strikes west of Baghdad and near the Syrian border knocked out a guard shack, armed vehicles, a bunker and a checkpoint.

In Syria, the U.S. destroyed four tanks and damaged another outside the city of Deir el-Zour on the Euphrates River.

Those strikes marked the second consecutive day that the United States and its Arab allies have taken aim at the militants near the border with Iraq. Coalition planes pounded a dozen makeshift oil-producing facilities in the same area on Thursday, trying to cripple one of the militants’ primary sources of cash – black market oil sales that the U.S. says produce up to $2 million a day.

Syrian activists said the American-led air campaign also hit the Tanak oil field as well as the Qouriyeh oil-producing area in Deir el-Zour on Friday. It said air raids also targeted the headquarters of the Islamic State group in the town of Mayadeen southeast of Deir el-Zour city.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory of Human Rights said the strikes were believed to have been carried out by the coalition. Another activist collective, the Local Coordination Committees, also reported four strikes on Mayadeen that it said were conducted by the U.S. and its allies.

In the village of Zagheer west of Deir el-Zour, a warplane attacked a motorcycle Friday evening shortly after it left an Islamic State group compound, according to the Observatory.

It said an Iraqi commander of the group was killed as well as another member who is from a Gulf state.

Palestinian leader in new U.N. bid to end occupation

By MOHAMMED DARAGHMEH The Associated Press NEW YORK – Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas accused Israel on Friday of conducting a “war of genocide” and a “series of absolute war crimes” during the 50-day summer conflict in Gaza, but stopped short of saying he will pursue war crime charges against the Jewish state at the International Criminal Court.

In his speech at the U.N. General Assembly, Abbas also said he would seek a U.N. resolution to set a deadline for Israel to pull out of Palestinian lands captured in the 1967 war, but did not include a threeyear deadline as his aides said he would.

“This last war against Gaza was a series of absolute war crimes carried out before the eyes and ears of the entire world, moment by moment,” Abbas said. The devastation unleashed, “is unmatched in modern times.”

Israel denounced the alle-

gations as “a speech of incitement filled with lies.”

Abbas’ remarks “highlight once again how he does not want and cannot be a partner for a reasonable diplomatic agreement,” Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said in a statement.

Israel launched thousands of airstrikes against what it said were Hamas-linked targets in Gaza, while Gaza militants fired several thousand rockets at Israel. More than 2,100 Palestinians were Mahmoud killed, a large Abbas majority civilians, and some 18,000 homes were destroyed, according to U.N. figures. Sixty-six soldiers and six civilians were killed on the Israeli side.

The devastating war has weakened Abbas domestically, with his Hamas rivals enjoying a surge of popularity among Palestinians for fight-

ing Israel.

He is under pressure at home to come up with a new political strategy after his repeated but failed attempts to establish a Palestinian state through U.S.-mediated negotiations with Israel.

His aides had said he would he would launch a new bid for a U.N. Security Council resolution to set a three-year timetable for Israel to pull out of Palestinian lands captured in the 1967 war. They added that a U.N. rejection of the Palestinian request would prompt Abbas to seek membership in international agencies, including the International Criminal Court. That would open the door to war crimes charges against Israel for its military actions in Gaza and Jewish settlement construction on West Bank land the Palestinians want for a future state.

However, Abbas’ speech appeared markedly less dramatic than what his aides had described earlier this week.

“We will not forget and we

will not forgive, and we will not allow war criminals to escape punishment,” Abbas said, although he made no mention of taking the case to the International Criminal Court.

He also did not mention a deadline for ending the occupation, referring instead to a “specific time frame for the implementation of these objectives.”

Turning to the International Criminal Court would be a major policy shift for Abbas. It would transform his relations with Israel from tense to openly hostile, and badly strain his relations with the United States.

Abbas met with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry Tuesday in New York and expressed little optimism his U.N. bid would survive a Security Council vote. The United States will almost certainly veto such a measure, having said the only resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is through direct negotiations between the two sides.

Nigerian schoolgirl freed by extremists comes home

By MICHELLE FAUL The Associated Press JOHANNESBURG – The first of Nigeria’s kidnapped “Chibok girls” to make it home after being released by her Islamic extremist captors spent a tortured night, tossing and turning and screaming “They will kill me! They will kill me!”

So says the Rev. Enoch Mark, who stayed up through Thursday night with the traumatized young woman.

She appears to be the daughter of a Chadian carpenter who

Relative saw suicidal post and alerted authorities • FIRE Continued from page A1 According to the complaint, a relative who saw a suicidal Facebook note posted on Howard’s account early Friday alerted authorities. Meanwhile, a 911 call from the control center brought a suburban fire department to the scene, where paramedics followed a trail of blood past a gas can, two knives and a lighter, the complaint said.

When they found Howard, he was trying to cut his own throat, the complaint said.

Thomas Ahern, a spokesman for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said the man used gasoline as an accelerant.

Howard used a key card to access the center, according to the complaint, and video surveillance shows him dragging a rolling suitcase as he entered. Authorities don’t believe there’s any surveillance video of the crime itself, Ahern said.

When the center was evacuated, management of the region’s airspace was transferred to other facilities, FAA spokeswoman Elizabeth Cory said.

The FAA said in a statement Friday evening that it was managing the Aurora facility’s traffic through centers in Cleveland, Indianapolis, Kansas City and Minneapolis. The agency said it would continue working with those radar centers during the weekend to reduce disruptions.

moved to the town of Chibok many years ago, according to interviews by The Associated Press.

She is the first of 219 girls held in captivity for more than five months to be released and to find her way home.

About 276 female students were abducted by Nigeria’s Islamic militant Boko Haram fighters from the Government Secondary School where they had gathered to write final examinations in the early hours of April 15. Fifty-seven escaped by themselves that night or

the next day – some by jumping from the open-backed trucks that transported them and clinging to branches of low-hanging trees.

Hundreds of girls, women and boys have been kidnapped

by Boko Haram fighters in the past year, but the abduction of the “Chibok girls” from a school in the remote northeast Nigerian town of that name grabbed people’s sympathy and inspired a worldwide campaign for their freedom.

The failure of the Nigerian government and military to

rescue them has brought widespread condemnation.

One possible reason that the girls remain captive is that they probably have been split into groups and saving one lot could endanger the others, Gordon Brown, the former British premier who has adopted their cause, told a news conference at the United Nations on Thursday.

He said some despondent families of the missing students are considering whether to hold funerals, as is their tradition when someone has been miss-

ing for four months and more.

“I do not want the funerals to take place,” said Brown. “They are likely to be alive,” he said, citing information gathered.

This first appearance of a Chibok abductee could inspire hope, said Mark, the Church of the Brethren pastor who stayed with the young woman Thursday night.

There are some doubts about the identity of the schoolgirl, whom Mark said identified herself as Susannah Ishaya, because she does not speak the local language.

Caring for feral cats As officials have been offering buyout and relocation plans to residents, Jane Kosek, president of DeKalbbased organization Fixin’ Feral Felines, has been worried about the feral cats that populate the park, largely because they can take shelter under the trailers and because residents tend to feed them.

Kosek fears that as demolition work continues, the cats will seek different places to live in and around Sycamore.

She has helped more than 100 feral cats at Evergreen Village, whether through spay and neuter, medicine or surgery.

She said she has been getting many calls from residents who are concerned about the animals’ well being.

She has applied for grants to continue the project, which can cost $70 a cat, but has been denied. She estimated her organization has spent about $10,000 in the past year to help feral cats at the park.

Then, after some health issues of her own, Kosek decided to take a break, but hopes to start up again in a few weeks.

After seeing cats with eyes matted shut from illness and BB gun pellets in their sides, she wants to do what she can to help them, especially be-

cials hired Hopkins after deciding not to fill the community development director position and dismantle the community development department in 2009.

DeKalb County’s Chief Building Inspector Keith Anderson shovels the charred remains of a car fire from earlier in the day Thursday off the street after work in the Evergreen Village Mobile Home Park. Anderson and the county’s planning, zoning and building department are in charge of trailer demolition in the park and will have another nine vacant trailers to demolish next week. fore they go looking for other homes. She hopes she can find more volunteers and money to fund the project before she starts up again.

“People have been calling us, we knew it was a real problem over there,” Kosek said. “It takes a lot of work, a lot of dedication.”

The county doesn’t have any current plans to deal with felines in the park.

“The main thrust of what we’re doing is helping the residents, helping them find a place to live,” Miller said.

“Our attention and resources are focused on residents.

Then we will focus on other issues, like demolition, and feral cats, if that’s one of those issues.”

Worries about looting, trash Residents and Keith An-

derson, county chief building inspector, said looting has been a problem in Evergreen Village as more people move out of the homes.

Anderson said some people have been scrapping items in the park, which is not allowed because the park is county property.

Anderson said some larger items have been left behind in homes, like organs and TVs, and it’s just another issue the county needs to address.

He said it’s important for residents to take their items with them when they leave, or to dispose of them properly.

Meanwhile at the beginning of fall, longtime Evergreen Village maintenance man Jeremiah Moore is awaiting another winter,

which for him means bursting pipes and digging up water mains.

Last winter, which he said was one of the coldest in his time at the park, meant he had to dig up seven water mains, which is more than he had done over seven years.

“I’ve lost so much sleep over 10 years,” said Moore, who is also a resident of the park. “It would be smart for people to get out before the winter.”

Moore is ready for his next chapter, which he hopes includes getting a home in Kirkland with his wife, mother-in-law, sister and sister’s child. He also hopes to find janitorial work.

“I’m ready for a new beginning, a new start,” Moore said.

OUR VIEW: THUMBS-UP, THUMBS-DOWN

Thumbs-up to Penguin Project

Courage can thwart despair We have heard much about the tragic events in Ferguson, Missouri, during which a young man lost his life, a community became enraged and many differing definitions of justice emerged.

All human life is precious, and we should be concerned when any life is prematurely terminated, regardless of the circumstances.

If we as a society could focus the same attention on the everyday murderous carnage that threatens the vitality of many of our cities, perhaps some meaningful solutions could be found.

Growing up in inner-city America, I witnessed many instances of premature death, usually inflicted by other inner-city residents. I also witnessed many stories of triumph that produced successful individuals out of the same environment. Perhaps it would be worthwhile to study the factors that led to success instead of tragedy in the same environment.

Obviously, volumes have been written about this topic, on which many consider themselves experts. In many cases, the observations and analyses are accurate and thought-provoking, and in many other cases, they are cowardly and pandering.

There is a long list of factors highly correlated with success regardless of the environment. They include strong supportive families, a sense of personal responsibility, good role models, faith that produces a sense of purpose and values, hard work, confidence, courage, an emphasis on education, and caring neighbors. As many who have

VIEWS Ben S. Carson read some of my books know, I have written volumes on all of these topics, and all are deserving of much attention, but in this limited article, I will focus on the last three.

We live in an increasingly technical world where knowledge is power. Even in an economy that is stagnant, it is still relatively easy to obtain a good job when one has acquired the requisite knowledge and skills.

Many sophisticated jobs go begging or have to be filled by foreigners because we are not producing technical graduates in sufficient numbers. We must also look at successful educational models, including charter schools, and insist that they be made available to inner-city students. There are a number of excellent reading-room programs throughout the country that incentivize students, particularly from Title I schools, to learn to enjoy reading, which profoundly decreases the dropout rate later on. Lack of education in this country is a major barrier between the haves and the have-nots, and we must concentrate on it.

I remember as a child referring to some of the older neighbors as crotchety and mean because they never let us get away with wrongdoing. We thought they should mind their own business, and I even remember some instances where their windows would

be purposely broken. In retrospect, they were the very ones who kept us out of trouble, and obviously, they usually cared deeply about our welfare. The me-first mentality that has infected our society, along with the fear of retribution, has largely extinguished these kinds of neighbors in many cities today. Given the level of violence, one can hardly blame people for keeping their mouths shut, but we must also realize that if we don’t nip bad behavior in the bud, it only grows, creating more intimidation, and the vicious cycle continues.

Courage from the kitchen table, the pulpit, the classroom and the streets was prevalent when I was a child. Many people had no problem publicly denouncing deleterious behavior even if it made them temporarily unpopular. Fear of being called names or being proclaimed out of touch has paralyzed many in our inner cities, just as it has throughout the nation.

We must realize that we are all in the same boat, and we can sink together in the quagmire of fractious accusations and hatred, or we can rise together to previously unexperienced heights if we learn from past mistakes and embrace the principles that created, in record time, the greatest nation in history.

German exceptionalism among economies

By HAROLD MEYERSON The Washington Post If you live in an advanced economy – in Western Europe, Japan or the United States – odds are you’re in a funk. Unless you live in Germany.

This month, the Pew Research Center released the results of polling it conducted in 44 nations – 10 of them with what Pew characterized as “advanced” economies (including the United States, France, Japan, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom).

The two key questions posed were whether respondents were “satisfied or dissatisfied” with the way things were going in their country and whether they thought the “economic situation in [their] country was good or bad.” Overall, satisfaction with one’s country followed the respondent’s judgment on its economy as the night the day.

While the noonday sun was blazing in China (where 89 percent judged their economy good and 87 percent expressed their satisfaction with the way things were going – allowing that some may have feared giving negative answers), night had descended on people in the advanced economies.

In nine of those 10, people were more dissatisfied than content with the way things were headed, and in eight of them, they felt their nation’s economic situation was bad.

The political composition of their government didn’t seem to matter. In Tory Britain, 55 percent said the economy was bad; in the Obama-led United States, 58 percent said the

same. In nationalist-Keynesian Japan, the figure was 63 percent; in socialist France, 88 percent; in conservative Spain, 93 percent.

The gloomiest continent (including both its advanced economies and such emerging economies as Poland and Ukraine) was Europe, where 88 percent said their economies weren’t doing well. Except for Germany.

Fully 85 percent of Germans said their homeland’s economic situation was good. How do we account for this German exceptionalism?

Let’s start with manufacturing. Like the only two nations with even higher percentages calling their economies a success (China and Vietnam), Germany is an export dynamo. It owes part of that surplus to the euro, which makes German goods cheaper than they’d be if Germany had its own currency. But part is due to the strength of the country’s manufacturing sector and the concomitant weakness of its financial sector.

Many of Germany’s most successful companies are privately owned and not subject to investor pressure to reward large shareholders through practices prevalent in the United States, such as slashing wages, cutting back on worker training and research and development and buying back stock. Publicly traded German companies still retain their earnings to invest in expansions, a practice that was the U.S. norm until the doctrine of rewarding shareholders with nearly all of a company’s profits took hold during the past quarter-century.

In the United States, major shareholders and the top executives whose pay increas-

ingly is linked to stock price control the corporate boards that approve these kinds of distributions of their companies’ earnings.

In Germany, however, the profits that companies rack up are shared more broadly because shareholders don’t dominate corporate boards. By law, any sizable German company must divide the seats on its board equally between management- and worker-selected representatives. Any company with more than 50 employees must have managers meet regularly with workers’ councils to discuss and negotiate issues of working conditions (but not pay).

These arrangements have largely ensured that the funding is there for the world’s best worker-training programs and that the most highly skilled and compensated jobs of such globalized German firms as Daimler and Siemens remain in Germany. They have ensured that prosperity is widely shared in Germany – not concentrated at the top, as it is in the United States.

Americans have grown concerned that nearly all income growth here goes to the wealthiest 1 percent. They are enacting minimum-wage increases in a range of cities and states. But the path to a more equitable economy will require more than that. It requires the reshaping of corporate control along German lines. The key to a more equitable economy is more equitable control of its economic institutions.

Thumbs-up: To this year’s Penguin Project production of Disney’s “Aladdin Jr.” and the community support it has received. Now in its fifth year, Penguin Project pairs young people with disabilities with those without disabilities for a theatrical production. The cast of dozens has been working together on lines, songs and dance numbers for months.

The show is running this weekend at DeKalb High School. Like producer Joe King said, this project is a lesson in seeing people for their abilities, rather than their disabilities.

Thumbs-up: To sliding gas prices. The current national average price for a gallon of gasoline is $3.35 a gallon, 10 cents cheaper than a year ago, and many analysts expect the prices to be below $3 a gallon throughout much of the country this year. Cheaper fuel is good news for the economy in general – it gives people more disposable income and reduces the cost of shipping goods. We’re ready to see just how low prices can go.

Thumbs-down: To a war effort in limbo. Congress adjourned earlier this month without having any substantive debate about President Barack Obama’s plans to arm Syrian opposition fighters to complement U.S. airstrikes in the fight against the Islamic State. Lawmakers won’t return to Washington after the November election, and might not take up the issue again until January, at which point the entire U.S. strategy could be yanked in a different direction. That won’t send a good message to those who with whom we’re trying to build a coalition, and it might embolden our enemies.

Thumbs-up: To thoughtful considerations of putting body cameras on local police. The devices, which are about the size of a pager and can be clipped nearly anywhere on an officer, aren’t already deployed in some local departments because of cost and state law that limits what they can record.

Northern Illinois University police plan to add a couple as they replace squad cars in the next couple of months, and we encourage other local departments to continue discussions about them. The recordings can protect both police and residents, and provide valuable evidence in criminal cases.

Thumbs-up: To starting a $27.4 million construction project at Northern Illinois University’s Stevens Building. The state-funded project, expected to be finished in October 2015, includes demolition of the building’s north wing and an interior renovation.

In place of the demolished area, there will be new classrooms, laboratories, and Department of Anthropology offices. The addition also will include a 10,500-square-foot black-box theater, 13,300-squarefoot scene shop space and a 6,000 square foot, 330-seat lecture hall. The project might cause a little inconvenience while it’s under construction, but the final product is sure to strengthen the anthropology and theatre departments.

ANOTHER VIEW

Feds must re-examine school lunch rules Since the rollout of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, students and their parents have easily been the loudest critics of the new federal school lunch standards.

Portions that are too small yet cost more. Side dishes, entrees and even condiments that aren’t very tasty.

And, of course, few to no “junk food” choices.

While that last complaint is hard to justify, the others are not – especially for students who are supposed to find an 850-calorie lunch adequate sustenance before an after-school activity that may require them to burn double those calories by day’s end.

But heading into this school year, the more troubling statement about the new federal standards came from a survey by the School Nutrition Association, a national nonprofit organization representing more than 55,000 members who provide high-quality, lowcost meals to students across the country. Among survey findings about the new standards were these: • Last school year, 46 percent of respondents reported overall program revenue decreased, while 87 percent reported an increase in food costs. Nationwide, about 23 percent of districts reported their meal programs operated at a loss for at least the past six months.

• 85 percent predict their costs will increase this school year, while 43 percent expect revenues to decline.

• More than 60 percent anticipate whole grain mandates will increase their average cost of preparing school meals this school year.

• And 81 percent report an increase in the amount of food being thrown away by students at lunch. Vegetables are most frequently identified as causing the increase in plate waste.

Supplanting those survey results is this fact courtesy of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which oversees the federal efforts: Student lunch participation under the new standards is down in 49 states, with more than 1 million fewer students choosing school lunch daily.

While it might have been easy to ignore angry students and parents, those survey results and the USDA’s own records clearly show the federal program has gone too far. It’s time for Congress to dial back parts of the act and find a more balanced approach to providing appealing, healthy meals to students.

Failure to do that will not only force more students to find meals elsewhere, it will continue to be a drag on school districts’ resources, revenues and even morale.

Hooker, Spartans win laugher “It was really a tough one,” Hooker said. “Winning the past seven, or however many years, it left a bad taste in our mouth. So, we really needed to come back and step up this week.”

Hooker got the Spartans on the board on their first drive with a 32yard run on third down. He gave Sycamore a two-score lead over the Pirates (1-4) on the Spartan’s next drive, this time outdoing himself.

Hooker took the handoff from quarterback Brett Bemis and went 43 yards for a score.

Bemis did the scoring himself on Sycamore’s next drive, reaching the end zone from nine yards out. Derek Massier would end up putting the

By STEVE NITZ snitz@shawmedia.com OTTAWA – Dion Hooker had his way with the Ottawa defense Friday night.

The Pirates had absolutely no answer for the Sycamore senior tailback as the Spartans cruised to a 42-0 win. Sycamore (3-2) led 42-0 at halftime, and the Spartans played the second half with their backups and had the advantage of a running clock.

BURLINGTON CENTRAL 33 GENOA-KINGSTON 12

Spartans up four scores with a 13yard run, while Bemis had a hand in the final two touchdowns of the game, throwing a 14-yard TD pass to Colan Treml on fourth down, and hitting a wide open Nick Niemann for a 35-yard touchdown.

But the main threat in Sycamore’s offense all night was Hooker, running behind the Spartans’ strong offensive line.

“They don’t get as much credit as they should, but all the credit should go to the O-line,” Hooker said. “It all starts with them, and they get the job done.”

Cogs lose to Rockets

By DUSTIN KING sports@daily-chronicle.com BURLINGTON – Genoa-Kingston wanted to spoil homecoming for Central. The plan failed.

The Rockets ran all over the Cogs en route to a 33-12 football win to keep them undefeated in Big Northern East play.

Junior running back Jason Berango finished with 27 carries and 208 yards rushing with a touchdown for 77 yards on the first drive of the game.

The Cogs (2-3 overall, 2-1 BNC East) kept it close for most of the game.

Quarterback Griffin McNeal threw a touchdown pass to Marcus Holley for 58 yards with a little more 8 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. That cut the Rockets’ lead to 20-12.

The Cogs got the ball back after a three-and-out by the Rockets on the next drive. The comeback attempt fell short after McNeal threw an interception to senior linebacker Craig Kein.

The Rockets went on to score two more touchdowns, one being a pick six with 4 seconds remaining to complete the homecoming victory.

DeKalb’s Thomas Lowie intercepts a Kaneland pass in the final minute of the game to secure the Barbs’ 37-34 victory over Kaneland on Friday night at Peterson Field in Maple Park.

Another streak snapped Barbs end long drought vs. Knights

By EDWARD CARIFIO ecarifio@shawmedia.com

Nick Brooks for Shaw Media

Genoa-Kingston running back Jesse Bade looks up field after taking a handoff from quarterback Griffin McNeal during Friday night’s game against Central in Burlington. The Cogs lost, 33-12.

Thomas Lowie already let one interception go off his fingers. He wasn’t going to let it happen with the game on the line.

The DeKalb junior picked off Kaneland quarterback Jake Marczuk in the closing seconds, sealing the Barbs’ 37-34 win and ending a frantic comeback by the Knights.

“It was a thrill, man, everything was going so fast,” Lowie said. “I bobbled it a little, but everything is great. It turned out the way it did.”

Dre Brown – who finished with

22 carries and 149 yards – opened the fourth quarter with his first touchdown of the night, putting the Barbs (5-0 overall, 2-0 Northern Illinois Big 12 East) up, 37-20. The Knights (2-3, 0-2) answered on the next drive on a 19-yard run by Marczuk, who finished the game with 356 passing yards, two passing touchdowns and three interceptions.

The teams struggled on offense on the next three drives until Kaneland broke through again, this time on a 61-yard pass to Connor Fedderly, who finished with 215 receiving yards and two scores. That cut the score to 37-34 with 4 minutes left.

DeKalb got the ball back and

had a strange drive that included four straight penalties, setting up a second-and-47 at one point. And although it didn’t get yards, it did eat time. Kaneland got the ball back with 41.1 seconds left, and on the second play of the drive, Lowie got his interception – joining teammates Brown and Rudy Lopez, who had first-half picks of Marczuk. It was the third straight three-interception game for the Kaneland junior QB. “For [Lowie], I’m happy he could make that last play for us,” DeKalb coach Matt Weckler said. “And for our team, it was big because we couldn’t stop them.”

For the Knights, it was the second straight conference loss.

“We had a shot and it just didn’t

bounce our way,” Kaneland coach Tom Fedderly said.

For the Barbs, it was their first time in eight tries beating the Knights. The win came one week after beating rival Sycamore, which had beaten them seven straight.

It also puts the Barbs in prime playoff position.

“It wasn’t pretty, but we’ll take it to get there,” Weckler said.

Five different players scored a touchdown for the Barbs, including Eriq Torrey, who took their first play from scrimmage 63 yards on a sweep for a touchdown. Quarterback Derek Kyler completed 11 of his 13 passes for 128 yards. No one had more than 20 yards rushing for the Knights – all four DeKalb ball carries had at least 26.

SPORTS SHORTS NIU women’s soccer team wins MAC opener Lauren Gierman’s goal in the 91st minute gave the Northern Illinois women’s soccer team a 2-1 win over Central Michigan on Friday in the Mid-American Conference opener for both teams in Mount Pleasant, Michigan.

Gierman scored both goals for the Huskies (3-6-0 overall, 1-0 MAC).

“I am very pleased with the team,” NIU coach John Ross said. “Everyone played unbelievably hard and stayed within the system. Lauren scored the type of goals we know she can, and it was huge to get three points on the road.”

Amy Annala had eight saves for the Huskies against CMU (2-6-1, 0-1).

Europe leads, 5-3, after Day 1 of Ryder Cup GLENEAGLES, Scotland – The start of this Ryder Cup was a lot like how the last one ended.

European blue filled the scoreboard Friday afternoon at Gleneagles with strong finishes that Europe is renowned for in these matches. Rory McIlroy knocked in a 40-foot birdie putt across the 17th green, and Sergio Garcia followed with a 5-wood out of the rough and onto the 18th green to set up another birdie as they rallied to earn a half that felt like it was worth much more.

As for the Americans?

They squandered a good start and faced another deficit, along with more questions about who played – and who didn’t.

Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed made their Ryder Cup debut by handing European stalwart Ian Poulter his worst loss ever – and his first loss in eight matches – by building a 6-up lead through 11 holes and winning, 5 and 4, to take the early lead in morning fourballs matches. Europe won three matches and halved the other – its best record ever in foursomes – to build a 5-3 lead.

BLACKHAWKS PRESEASON

MLB

A lock to make team, maybe Coach Q sounds as if he wants Morin on roster

By MARK LAZERUS mlazerus@suntimes.com CHICAGO – He has been all but anointed by general manager Stan Bowman and coach Joel Quenneville as the next guy to make the jump. He was one of the most effective players on the ice down the stretch in April when injuries forced him into the lineup. He signed a twoNext year, one-way contract this vs. Edmonton summer. at Saskatoon, Logic says Saskatchewan, J e r e m y M o 5 p.m. Sunday rin is a lock to make the Blackhawks roster out of training camp. The math says it’s not so simple.

Among the forwards in camp, there are 11 mortal locks.

Quenneville has made it abundantly clear he wants some type of enforcer on the roster, which likely means Brandon Mashinter or Cody Bass. That’s 12. Barring a surprising trade of a forward, that leaves Morin, Peter Regin, Joakim Nordstrom and maybe Teuvo Teravainen to battle it out for one or two spots.

And, yes, Morin is counting.

“It’s in the back of your mind a bit,” he said after a strong performance in Thursday night’s 3-2 loss to Detroit, in which he had an assist, two hits and a plus-2 rating. “But you can’t really focus on that.

I have to find my game. If I’m not playing the way I want to be playing, I won’t be here.”

Quenneville certainly sounds like a coach who wants Morin on his roster. He regularly praises him for his ver-

Rangers beat Blackhawks CHICAGO (AP) – Rookies Oscar Lindberg and Anthony Duclair scored in the first period and J.T. Miller and Marek Hrivik connected 2:40 apart late in the third in the New York Rangers’ 4-1 exhibition victory over the Blackhawks on Friday night.

Henrik Lundqvist made 15 saves for New York (1-1-0) before allowing rookie Dennis Rasmussen’s goal off a rebound at 9:37 of the second period. Cedrick Desjardins replaced Lundqvist after the goal, and stopped all 15 shots he faced.

Corey Crawford made 25 saves for the Hawks (1-2-0).

The Hawks used the top two forward lines that might be on the ice when they open the season Oct. 9 at Dallas, but showed little consistent offensive spark.

Captain Jonathan Toews centered Patrick Sharp and Marian Hossa. Brad Richards, who signed as a free agent in July after the Rangers bought out his contract, was between wingers Brandon Saad and Patrick Kane. The AP photo Hawks’ top three defensemen – Blackhawks left wing Jeremy Morin controls the puck during the second Norris Trophy winner Duncan Keith, period of Thursday night’s exhibition game against the Red Wings in De- Brent Seabrook and Niklas Hjalmarsson – also played. troit. satility, his energetic physical play and his scoring ability.

But it’s a crowded roster, with a top nine all but etched in stone (including Kris Versteeg in the third-line right wing role that would best suit a player such as Morin) and a fourth line with two immovable parts in Marcus Kruger and Ben Smith. Even assuming Morin makes the roster, he likely will be shuffled in and out of the lineup.

It’s a fact of life in Chicago for prospects on the cusp of becoming players.

On Thursday night, there were several young Red Wings fighting for wide-open roster spots. On the other side, virtually nothing was up for grabs other than positioning in the organizational hierarchy.

“It’s a very tight group to get through,” Quenneville said.

“Not a ton of opportunity in this camp. [Morin is] a guy that we’re going to need here, and his camp’s been fine and we want to see him. But we don’t want to think anybody’s a lock [where] they’re going to be content and satisfied with where they’re at.

Mo, last year, he showed that he can handle it. And he probably wants more.”

He does. The 23-year-old Morin bristled a bit at the idea of spending more time in the AHL after three strong seasons in Rockford – “When I’m here, I’m just thinking about the NHL, I’m not thinking about the AHL at all,” he said – and he has a quiet confidence that his wait is over, that his time is now. In past camps, he might have sweated over individual practices or pored over the scoresheet after a preseason

game, wondering about his standing.

Not this fall.

“Every time you’re on the ice, you want to show what you can do out there, but it’s not life or death right now,” he said.

“There are still some games to be played here. I’m just trying to build my game and get better as the preseason goes, and to really feel strong going into the season.”

There probably shouldn’t be a question anymore about where that season will start.

But with this roster, there might be.

“These guys have been here and have been very successful for a reason,” Morin said. “Obviously, you’re not trying to make any old team. That might make it harder, but it also makes it more exciting.”

NATIONAL CONFERENCE

Coghlan helps Cubs Royals clinch playoff to win over Brewers berth with victory

By JOE DiGIOVANNI The Associated Press MILWAUKEE – Chris Coghlan hit a leadoff homer in the first and Javier Baez had his second career three-hit game, leading the Cubs to a 6-4 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday night.

The Brewers lost for the 24th time in 34 games on a day the team said it would retire uniform No. 1 to honor retiring Commissioner Bud Selig, who bought the Seattle Pilots out of bankruptcy and moved them to Milwaukee in 1970.

Coghlan homered on Jimmy Nelson’s second pitch of the game. He also doubled in the third and scored three times.

Neil Ramirez (3-3) pitched a perfect inning for the win and

Hector Rondon got three outs for his 28th save in 32 chances.

Milwaukee went 2 for 18 with runners in scoring position and left 11 men on base. Jean Segura went 3 for 4 with his fifth homer.

Nelson (2-9) was charged with five runs and six hits in 4 1-3 innings.

Eric Jokisch pitched four innings for the Cubs in his first major league start. He allowed two runs, one earned, and three hits while throwing 86 pitches.

Cubs manager Rick Renteria was ejected in the eighth inning for arguing with second base umpire Jeff Nelson.

Baez singled in each of his first three plate appearances and drove in two runs. It was his second three-hit performance in 50 games since joining the team Aug. 5.

By ANDREW SELIGMAN The Associated Press CHICAGO – Kansas City’s long postseason drought is over.

The Royals clinched a playoff spot for the first time in 29 years, beating the White Sox, 3-1, Friday night behind seven scoreless innings from Jeremy Guthrie.

Kansas City secured at least a wild card and ended the longest active postseason drought among the major North American sports leagues. Not since George Brett led the Royals to a World Series victory over the St. Louis Cardinals in 1985 had they reached the playoffs.

Small-market Kansas City endured more than its share of losing in recent years. But it

contended into September last season and kicked down the playoff door Friday.

The celebration started right after catcher Salvador Perez squeezed Michael Taylor’s foul popup for the final out. The Royals mobbed Perez near the plate, with the dugout and bullpen emptying.

A large contingent of Royals fans crowded near the visitors’ dugout, watching the celebration, and players tossed caps to them before walking off the field.

With Detroit losing to Minnesota, Kansas City trails the Tigers by a game in the AL Central with two to play. If they are tied after Sunday, the teams will play game No. 163 on Monday at Detroit to determine the division winner.

NORTHERN ILLINOIS FOOTBALL

Hawks lose 2nd straight

NIU announces series with USF

By TRAVIS ZUELLIG sports@daily-chronicle.com KIRKLAND – It was a struggle.

After averaging 24 points a game in its first four games, the Hiawatha football team had issues moving the chains against Marquette in a Northeastern Athletic Conference matchup Friday night.

The Hawks were held to 47 totals yards of offense in a 26-0 loss to give Hiawatha its second straight defeat. “We just struggled with some things that we are going to sure up,� Nick Doolittle

said. “The wall has not been hit at all. We are going to go farther than this.�

Doolittle led the Hawks with 34 rushing yards on 13 attempts. Evan Williams completed 6 of 15 passes for 31 yards, and was intercepted once. The offensive line had issues with Marquette’s quickness. “We made too many mistakes again,� Hiawatha coach Sean Donnelly said. “On our offensive line, there was a breakdown in communication on a lot of plays. Guys were coming through free. And, we had some drops again, which

killed us.�

Early in the contest, the Hawks (3-2, 3-2 NAC) held tough with Marquette. Hiawatha forced a turnover and a punt on the Crusaders’ first two possessions.

On the Crusaders’ third possession, they took the ball 43 yards on seven plays get on the board. Marquette (3-2, 3-2 NAC) scored one more touchdown before the end of the first quarter to make it 14-0. “Defensively, they ran right at us and we weren’t making tackles,� Donnelly said. “We were getting pulverized on the defensive line.�

Hiawatha trailed 20-0 at halftime. Marquette scored the final touchdown of the contest at the beginning of the fourth quarter. The Hawks had issues keeping the offense on the field and keeping its defense off the field to rest. Doolittle said that was a problem. “The defense had some pretty good stands, but we just couldn’t get off the field,�

Doolittle said. “On offense, we couldn’t extend a drive. It is hard to play defense when you’ve had to play it all game.�

Hiawatha will look to bounce back as it travels next Saturday to Luther North.

Huskies to play at Raymond James Stadium in 2016

By STEVE NITZ snitz@shawmedia.com Northern Illinois announced a home-and-home series with South Florida on Friday, concluding its “SchedulePalooza Encore.�

NIU will visit USF at Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium on Sept. 10, 2016, while the Bulls, members of the American Athletic Conference, are scheduled Sept. 23, 2017 Next to visit Huskie vs. Kent St., Stadium. “USF is a 4 p.m. Oct. 4, great future ESPN3, AMo p p o nent 560, 92.5-FM for us,� NIU athletic director Sean Frazier said in a news release. “They’re a member of the American conference, a fellow Group of 5 league, that plays in an outstanding pro stadium in Tampa. We’ve had a lot of success recruiting in Florida over the last several years, and this is a chance for more exposure in that state and for our Florida natives to play in their home area. Not to mention it brings another quality opponent to Huskie Stadium when they come to DeKalb in 2017.�

The programs have met three times, most recently Jan. 3, 2010, in the 2010 Inter-

Pack miss TE Finley • ARKUSH Continued from page B1 Although Randall Cobb does have three touchdowns, he’s caught 14 passes and is averaging only 9.0 yards a pop.

The biggest problem for Rodgers might be the total of eight catches for 77 yards and a touchdown he’s gotten out of the tight end position – Andrew Quarless.

Jermichael Finley might never have lived up to his athletic potential with the Packers, but he was so explosive from the tight end position, defenses always had to account for him on the field.

That dimension is gone from the Packers’ offense.

The fact that the offensive line has been mediocre to poor – Rodgers already has been on the ground nine times for 65 yards in losses, and Eddie Lacy has been reduced to a nonfactor rushing the ball only 12 times a game – has been the pin in the Packers’ offensive balloon.

Green Bay has been almost as ineffective on defense. It is very good against the pass, sixth in the NFL, but actually worse than the Bears stopping the run, just 30th through three weeks and 20th in total defense and 27th in points allowed.

A lot of the Packers’ defensive problems start up front, where they are nowhere near recovered from the loss of B.J. Raji on the nose.

Mike Daniels actually has been pretty good from one five-technique, but last year’s No. pick, Datone Jones is just a guy on the other end.

Vikings castoff Letroy Guion is having a hard time filling in for Raji.

One thing Bears fans should fear is Julius Peppers warming to the task in the elephant/outside rush backer role defensive coordinator Dom Capers is trying to craft for him, coming off a good game last Sunday in Detroit.

But Clay Matthews has been just a shadow of his Defensive MVP self, and on the inside at linebacker, Jamari Lattimore has been good taking snaps away from Brad Jones, but A.J. Hawk has been below average, and Jones less than that.

Part of the Packers’ success against the pass has been a result of their failures against the run.

The Bears? When has a Bears team ever been one of the best passing clubs in the league but disinterested in running and improved, but still well below average on defense?

Not in my lifetime, and the sum of all those parts is what makes this one so difficult to call.

Here’s a key to watch: Matt Forte and Eddie Lacy are two of the best backs in the league should their coaches decide to use them, and James Starks is one of the more solid No. 2s.

The team that actually commits to the run and makes it work should win this one.

I guess that would be like your father’s Packers and Bears, wouldn’t it?

HOME HELP So you’ve decided to rent out your home? Some tips

C

By MELISSA RAYWORTH The Associated Press

ynthia Kent and her husband, John, didn’t set out to be landlords, but career choices made it necessary.

“We have rented out our home in Florida for nine years because we move all over with the military,” says Kent, who recently relocated her family from Nevada to Alabama for yet another posting.

Some people become accidental landlords because of a job change or difficulty selling a house. Others find they need to rent out the home of an elderly parent who has moved into a care facility. More than 3 million owner-occupied homes were converted to rental properties between 2007 and 2011, according to a 2013 report by the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard University.

Some advice for those taking on this challenging new role:

FINDING THE RIGHT TENANT A credit check and legal background check can help you find reliable, honest tenants, says real-estate agent Gail Carpenter of Northwood Realty in Pittsburgh.

“Sometimes a credit check alone” will rule out an applicant, she says.

Personal references can be useful if the applicant is local and you have mutual acquaintances. Otherwise, be wary.

“Do not take ‘personal’ references too seriously,” says New York City condo own-

er Sharon Lynch, who rented her home to tenants while spending a year in California.

“Anyone can get a friend to write something nice about them.”

Lynch suggests using an online directory to search for an applicant’s current address and get contact information for their neighbors. “Not only can these people tell you if your applicants are good neighbors, but they can also supply you with the landlord’s contact information,” she says, “just in case your potential tenant is faking you out, pretending a friend was his or her landlord.”

Meet applicants in person and really talk with them, Carpenter says.

And request a rent that doesn’t price good applicants out of the market. You might earn more over time with a slightly lower rent, she says, because “that can help you keep your property occupied, versus asking for the moon and then it sits there vacant.”

PREP THE HOUSE Once you’ve found your tenant, clean your home thoroughly and “make the property as safe as it can be,” Carpenter says.

You may also want to tackle any looming home improvement jobs now, rather than leave your tenant to handle (or ignore) them when they become larger problems.

If you plan to return to the home eventually, it can be practical to drop the rent slightly and fill one room with belongings you’re leaving behind, rather than paying for a storage space. Put a new lock on that door and take the key with you.

DOCUMENT AND DISCUSS “It helps to take pictures of the house inside and out,” Kent says, to document its condition and cleanliness.

Don’t skip anything, and don’t assume one panoramic shot of each room will do. If you’re leaving furniture, also photograph the condition and cleanliness of each piece.

When Lynch returned to find her tenant had damaged the kitchen countertop, such “before” photos were key in being able to use the tenant’s security deposit to help pay for repairs.

When your tenant arrives to inspect the home before moving in, Kent says, “have tenants sign a document of the pictures, showing the condition at move-in.”

That walk-through inspection is vital for both parties. “Always be present for the move-in and move-out inspections,” says Babette Maxwell, who has rented her home to tenants several times during her husband’s Navy career and founded “Military Spouse” magazine to advise other military families about challenges like this one.

Also, Maxwell suggests, “Provide your renter with a baggie of ‘approved’ nails, screws, picture hangers.” And if you “have specific products you want used on your counters, cabinets, floors, yard,” she says, “list them in the lease.”

TEND THE OUTDOORS As you negotiate the lease, don’t forget to have a detailed discussion about outdoor space, too. Will you or the tenant pay for lawn cutting? Who will keep up with pulling

weeds and trimming bushes? Is the tenant permitted to plant flowers and do other gardening?

You may want to do an outdoor cleanup before you leave and then have the tenant agree to maintain that level of neatness.

Scan the property for any trees that could fall on the house and assess their health. Better to pay now to have a sick tree removed than worry about the outcome of a storm.

PLAN AHEAD If there are repairs or upgrades that you promise your tenant, set a schedule in your personal calendar for completing them in the weeks after they move in.

Kent also recommends leaving a “welcome binder that stays with the house with local information, cleaning requirements and other details.”

Make sure your tenant knows how to contact you and how to handle problems that might arise. Have a reputable contractor or other professional on-call in case something needs to be repaired, says Carpenter.

“A lot of landlords grumble about getting a call in the middle of the night,” she says, but things will inevitably happen.

Then, stay in touch. If you won’t be living close enough to check on the property yourself, arrange for a friend or hire a property manager to do so.

Being a landlord “isn’t just signing the lease and disappearing,” Carpenter says. A tenant will respect you and your property more if you remain involved.

FAMILY TIME | Protect children from online dangers

Tip of the week Every day, millions of Americans turn to the Internet for news and entertainment and to shop. Over the years, Americans have come to trust the Internet so much, that they regularly share information about their daily lives through social media sites and with online retailers.

But what many may not realize is that within just a few clicks, there’s an unregulated digital frontier where people, including criminals, buy and sell illegal drugs, guns and pornography, as well as personal and financial details about ordinary individuals.

Fueled by software that conceals the identity of people, and digital currency, it’s a world that people can’t ignore.

That’s one of the takeaways from a new report, “Digital Economy: Potentials, Perils and Promises” recently released by the Digital Economy Task Force (DETF). Comprised of experts representing law enforcement, the digital economy and government policy, this task force, brought together by Thomson Reuters and the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children, explored the risks of the digital economy and the rise of online illegal activity.

Many Americans are familiar with what experts call the Surface Web – the typical retail and company websites, social media pages, blogs and bulletin boards that people routinely visit every day. But underneath the Surface Web is the Deep Web, which consists of networks of content, databases and websites that cannot be reached through common web portals or found by search engines. What makes these networks possible – and untouchable by most Americans – is anonymizing technology that conceals the identity of users.

Within the Deep Web, many websites have become havens of criminal activity such as the trafficking of drugs, guns, humans and child pornography. These illegal sites are known as the Darknet by law enforcement experts. Because people reach these sites anonymously, it makes it very difficult for law enforcement to track the illegal transactions of criminals within the Darknet.

“There’s good news and bad news to this story,” says Steve Rubley, managing director of the Government Segment of Thomson Reuters and DETF co-chair. “All Americans should know that the rise in the global digital economy offers incredible opportunity.

For example, in the case of journalists or dissidents in oppressive countries, anonymizing technology and digital currencies enable a safe link to the outside world.

“But, there’s also a dark side to the story,” Rubley adds. “Parents should know that some pretty bad people are trying to entice children to send compromising photos of themselves so they can buy and sell those images with other pedophiles. Parents should

IN UNIFORM

know that drug dealers are using the Internet to bring drugs to your front door – just like a traditional online retailer.”

To foster the growth of the positive aspects of the digital economy while confronting illegal activity on the Internet, the DETF recommends that state and federal lawmakers consider policies and action that will increase law enforcement training, foster more cooperation between law enforcement agencies, promote a national dialogue and education about illegal Internet activity, and more.

“There is a difference between privacy and anonymity,” says Ernie Allen, president and CEO of ICMEC and DETF co-chair. “We simply cannot create an environment in which traffickers and child exploiters can operate on the Internet with no risk of being identified unless they make a mistake.”

The best defense to prevent criminals and other unsavory characters from violating your privacy online and potentially exploit youth is to implement all privacy settings on social media sites, never friend people you don’t know and never respond to emails and text messages you don’t recognize.

Thomson Reuters offers some additional tips, which include: • Parents should work with local law enforcement officials to educate their community about the perils of illegal activity occurring on the Internet, and how local citizens of all ages, can avoid becoming victims of online criminals.

• Citizens should encourage state and local law enforcement officials to invest in the training needed to detect and investigate illegal activity on the

Internet that may harm the citizens they represent.

• Parents should monitor online and mobile use by their young children and watch for messages from people that can’t be identified or seem out of the ordinary.

• Parents should speak with their children about Internet use and set clear parameters on acceptable use and appropriate websites that can be visited. Set the family computer in a common area to discourage private use. Use parental controls when appropriate to help block access to inappropriate content.

Family movie night “Dolphin Tale 2” Rated: PG Length: 107 minutes Synopsis: It has been several years since young Sawyer Nelson and the dedicated team at the Clearwater Marine Hospital, headed by Dr. Clay Haskett, rescued Winter. With the help of Dr. Cameron McCarthy, who developed a unique prosthetic tail for the injured dolphin, they were able to save her life.

However, the loss of Panama may have even greater repercussions for Winter, who, according to USDA regulations, cannot be housed alone, as dolphins’ social behavior requires them to be paired with other dolphins.

Difference in soil produces two distinct wines Pierre Seillan wanted to highlight the unique soils of Mount St. Helena in Knights Valley.

Thus, two vials of soil were packaged with Anakota Cabernet Sauvignon. A reddish brown vial with tiny pebbles and silty soil from the Helena Dakota Vineyard at 750 feet and a vial filled yellow-white sandy gravel from the 950-foot Helena Montana Vineyard.

The difference in soil, elevation and aspect ratio to the sun has produced two dramatically complex wines. Both stunningly different despite coming from neighboring vineyards in Sonoma County.

Winemaker spotlight Pierre Seillan had established a distinguished reputation as a vigneron in France.

Yet, when he came to California, it was for a challenge.

Despite the rugged mountain ranges, he saw an untapped potential in Knights Valley and the chance to craft a top Cabernet Sauvignon in what is his only single vineyard, variety and appellation wine.

“I have learned a lot from my experiences in France,” Seillan said. “Starting with my family’s farm in the Gers,

What to buy Anakota, Knights Valley, Helena Montana Cabernet Sauvignon, 2009 ($75): Mint, eucalyptus and green pepper notes on the nose. There’s hidden fruit flavors that need time to develop. There’s a dusty, chalky note that adds to the mysterious complexity of the wine. A brilliant wine that will get better with age. It is grown at an elevation of 950 feet in yellow-white, sandy, gravely loam soils.

Anakota, Knights Valley, Helena Dakota Cabernet Sauvignon, 2009 ($75): Cassis and currant flavors on a fruitier more floral wine. There’s a snappy, violet perfume on the nose. Lighter in mouth feel.

It is grown at an elevation of 750 feet in reddish-brown, silt loam soils.

Landmark Vineyards, Overlook Chardonnay, 2012 ($23.99): A beautiful mix of cool-climate Chardonnay from 22 vineyards that stretch from Sonoma in the north to Santa

Barbara in the south. There are lemon grass, grapefruit and cantaloupe flavors held together by a nutty nuance imparted by the fermentation in 100 percent French oak barrels with all native yeasts.

“This is a wine that’s really all about blending,” said winemaker Greg Stach, who enjoys the wine best with lobster and Dungeness crab. “The French barrels are only 25 percent new because we want to show the fruit. It’s all about elegance and balance. It’s not too oaky or buttery. Its acid profile is nice which lifts the minerality and gives a nice, crisp structure.”

During one weekend last March, Sonoma County received 10 inches of rain.

“The rain came at the right time,” said winemaker Greg Stach. California was entering its third straight year of drought which has led to harvest being two-to-three weeks ahead of schedule. “I’m really excited though and think this is going to be a really good year.”

“In my (Connecticut) garden, chipmunks devastate them,” Curless said. “So will deer, voles and squirrels if they know where they are.”

6 ADVICE & PUZZLES • Saturday, September 27, 2014 • Section C • Daily Chronicle / Daily-Chronicle.com ASTROGRAPH

By EUGENIA LAST Newspaper Enterprise Association

TODAY – Resolve to take things as they come. To get a clear view of each situation as it unfolds, you must realize that you can’t control everything. Don’t let turmoil fluster you. A spectacular year lies ahead if you are accepting and innovative in the way you handle everything you face.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Love is in the stars. An interesting partnership lies ahead. Unforeseen changes to your agenda will turn out better than you think.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Don’t be coerced into doing something that will tarnish your reputation. Stick to high standards in order to stay on the right path. You will be judged by the company you keep, so tread carefully.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Don’t be vocal or critical regarding workplace situations or peers. You will leave a false impression, and damaging information could find its way back to your employer.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Do whatever is necessary to lend support to an ailing or elderly relative. Whether it means driving to appointments, grocery shopping or household chores, your assistance will be appreciated and rewarded.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Don’t presume that everyone is being honest and up-front with you. You will be upset if you discover that someone is withholding important information.

Refrain from making a commitment that you won’t want to honor.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Fun, amusement and entertainment should be your goals. New and old friends will enjoy a pleasant diversion if you initiate a day of recreation.

Lead and enjoy.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Make financial matters a priority. Don’t exceed your budget by making an unnecessary purchase. Interest fees or penalties can change the nature of a good deal.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – You will be restless and looking for a change.

Try a new hobby or take a day trip to a local attraction. A break from your routine will be a breath of fresh air.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Consider launching a new project or making a proposal that will enhance your career. Networking with industry insiders will provide the information you need to get ahead.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Express your feelings. Rekindle the romance in a relationship with an intimate interlude away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. A travel opportunity should not be passed up.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Your input is vital if you don’t want to collapse under the pressure of someone else’s demands. Be persistent, and don’t let anyone railroad you into making a bad decision.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – You will be faced with a financial or educational problem. Gather all the information you can before you move forward. There is no room for error.

SUDOKU

Odds of getting dream birthday gift diminish Dear Abby: My birthday is in 26 days and my dad just told me he is not going to get me a birthday present. And I really want an iPod Touch for school. I’m in the fifth grade and everyone in my class has an iPod Touch, iPad or iPhone. EXCEPT ME! My mom said she would get me a present, but it will be something small. And unless I can keep my room clean, I won’t have a birthday! I’m turning double digits (10)!

Please help! – Desperate Girl in North Carolina Dear Desperate: I’ll try, but it may not be the help you’re hoping for.

Talk to your parents and ask why they are against you having an iPod Touch.

Not all kids your age have parents who can afford them, and that might be the reason.

Show them you are mature by keeping your room clean and doing whatever other chores are assigned to you. If you get an allowance, start saving up and ask them if they would “partner” with you in getting an iPod Touch in the future, after you have saved a certain amount. It’s worth a try, and it just might work.

Dear Abby: My 20-yearold son is in recovery from substance abuse. He has also dealt with depression over the years. He has informed his therapist, his father and

It was one of What is most important the explanations he gave for now is for you to show your his depression and substance son that you love him and care abuse. about his emotional health, I have wanted to talk to his and while you respect his counselor about the situation privacy, it is vital that he help so that as a family we can talk himself move forward.

It seems increduntil your son is stronger. ible that as parents we were Dear Abby: My wife is in oblivious because we thought a nursing home and will be we were aware of and vigilant for a long time.

While I was about threats to our children.

the country or to the beach?

My son thinks I shouldn’t do it, but he doesn’t know how lonely I am, nor do the other kids in the family. – No Life of My Own Dear No Life: You’re asking me a question no one can decide FOR you. Much depends upon the quality of your marriage before your wife became ill. You promised to love and cherish her until death do you part. If she’s still in her right mind, you owe it to her to be there for her to the extent that you can – just as she would be if you were sick and in a nursing home.

You should discuss all of this with your children.

While it is important that you spend enough time with your wife to ensure that she’s being well cared for, you are also entitled to have a life. Some husbands WANT to spend every possible minute at their wife’s bedside, while others do what you are contemplating. Only you can look into your heart and decide what would be best for all concerned, because it may affect your entire family.

Dear Abby: My boyfriend of five years, “Spencer,” has always been very sweet – until this year. This year he has become verbally abusive, telling me I’m a drunk (I don’t drink liquor) and insane.

(No one else says there is

anything insane about my behavior.) Spencer frequently tells me my opinions prove I’m a “jerk.”

Until this year, I have been deeply in love with him. I know his verbal attacks on me are unwarranted. All I want is some peace and quiet.

Please advise. – Beaten Down in L.A. Dear Beaten Down: Your boyfriend is showing all the signs of a man who wants out of a relationship, but doesn’t have the courage to come out and be direct about it.

If you want peace and quiet in your life, find a man who appreciates what you have to offer, doesn’t make false accusations and treats you well. You’ll find what you’re looking for after you tell Spencer you’re NOT drunk, you’re NOT crazy and you’re not in love with him anymore, so GOODBYE. ——— To order “How to Write Letters for All Occasions,” send your name and mailing address, plus check or money order for $7 (U.S. funds) to: Dear Abby – Letter Booklet, P.O.

Fresh or frozen, produce offers good nutrition Dear Dr. K: I’m trying to eat more fruits and vegetables, but I don’t have time to go to the grocery store every week.

So I stock up on frozen produce. Am I missing out on any nutritional benefits by eating frozen instead of fresh?

Dear Reader: For taste, variety and quality of nutrients, recently picked local produce is the way to go. But if fresh produce is inconvenient or beyond your budget, frozen fruits and vegetables provide plenty of nutrition.

Fresh fruits and vegetables are indeed more nutritious, but the difference between fresh and frozen produce may not be as stark as you think.

is that not all produce sold as “fresh” really is fresh.

Glance down the supermarket produce aisle and you’ll see wilted lettuce and peppers with soft spots on them.

Researchers at the University If you’re looking for truly of California-Davis found that: fresh produce, your best bet • Fresh and frozen produce is to go to a farm stand or are similar in terms of carlocal farmers market.

gourmand than a gourmet. So I asked a colleague for some advice.

Dr. Michelle Hauser is a certified chef, nutrition educator and a clinical fellow in medicine at Harvard Medical School. She explains that grocery store produce may be picked unripe so it can be stored for months.

Then it may be artificially speed-ripened on its way to the grocery shelf. As a result, it may be less nutritious than naturally matured fruits and vegetables.

Produce destined for the freezer aisle is picked when ripe. It may be briefly cooked in hot water and then frozen in or near the fields. This

helps to preserve its nutritional value.

So the bottom line for me is: Don’t worry too much about whether your produce is fresh or frozen. If stocking up on frozen fruits and vegetables helps you get your five-to-nine daily servings, stick with it.

But if you pass a farmers market, make a quick stop for some fresh peaches or apples.

Your taste buds will thank you.
