Slain officer’s gun located; video is being analyzed

kcraver@shawmedia.com FOX LAKE – Police investigating the shooting death of a Fox Lake police officer hope a video from a Fox Lake resident and information gleaned from evidence – including the officer’s gun – will lead them closer to the suspects, they said Thursday.

As the search wore on into its third day, Lake County Major Crimes Task Force Cmdr. George Filenko said police had made substantial progress in the investigation into the death of Fox Lake police Lt. Joseph Gliniewicz.

Filenko tied part of that progress to surveillance video a resident who lives near the crime scene provided to a trusted police officer. That officer turned it over to the task force, which is leading the search for two white males and one black male who are suspects in the shooting.

“We have retrieved as late as [Wednesday] night what we believe to be some significant video,” Filenko said.

Local police gave the video to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security because the agency has the technology necessary to retrieve and view the video, Filenko said. Officials have not viewed it, but Filenko said based on what the resident conveyed about the video, police still are searching for three males that fit the vague description police have had since the investigation started Tuesday.

Long road to appreciation

Association wants coast-to-coast route recognized as national monument

By ADAM POULISSE

apoulisse@shawmedia.com DeKALB – John O’Halloran got his kicks on the Lincoln Highway two years ago.

He left his Twombly Road home with his partner Robert Reinhold and drove a 1948 Hudson to San Francisco following the route of America’s first hard-surfaced improved transcontinental highway.

“It’s a lovely, not-heavily traveled road because most motorists take the interstate,” said O’Halloran, who also is a member of the Lincoln Highway Association. “It epitomizes the beauty of America. You’re not pressed by the high speeds. Everybody on the interstate wants to drive 80 mph.”

For all its history and charm, Lincoln Highway is still not recognized by the federal government as a national monument. Residents near and far are looking to give the 3,389-mile coast-to-coast highway that connects more than 700 big cities and small villages the recognition they say it deserves.

Since it was originally called the Lincoln Memorial Highway, and it’s older than the 93-year-old Lincoln Memorial in Washington,

Lincoln Highway stretches coast to coast and is the largest unofficial memorial of Abraham Lincoln. The highway is longer than the historic and famous U.S. Route 66 by 938 miles.

D.C., recognizing the highway as a national monument is the best option, according to Kay Shelton, a DeKalb resident and the national president of the Lincoln Highway Association, which is based in Franklin Grove, about 35 miles

TODAY’S TALKER

Kentucky clerks will license marriages as their boss is jailed

By ADAM BEAM

The Associated Press ASHLAND, Ky. – A defiant county clerk went to jail Thursday for refusing to issue marriage licenses to gay couples, but five of her deputies agreed to issue the licenses themselves, potentially ending the church-state standoff in Rowan County, Kentucky.

U.S. District Judge David Bunning said he had no choice but to jail Kim Davis for contempt after she insisted that her “conscience will not allow” her to follow federal court rulings on gay marriage.

“God’s moral law conflicts with my job duties,” Davis told the judge before she was taken away by a U.S. marshal. “You can’t be separated from something that’s in your heart and in your soul.”

Bunning offered to release Davis if she would promise not to interfere with her employees issuing marriage licenses this morning. But Davis, through her attorneys, rejected that offer and chose to stay in jail.

Gay and lesbian couples vowed to appear at the Rowan County clerk’s office for the fifth time today to see if the deputy clerks would keep their promises.

“We’re going to the courthouse tomorrow to get our marriage license and we’re very excited about that,” said April Miller, who has been engaged to Karen Roberts for 11 years.

Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis listens to a customer after her office’s refusal to issue marriage licenses Tuesday at the Rowan County Courthouse in Morehead, Ky. As word of Davis’ jailing spread outside the federal courthouse, hundreds of people chanted and screamed, “Love wins! Love wins!” while Davis’ supporters booed.

Davis’ lawyer, Roger Gannam, said it was the first time in history an American citizen has been jailed for believing that marriage is a union between one man and one woman. He compared her willingness to accept imprisonment to what Martin Luther King Jr. did to advance civil rights.

“Kim Davis represents the best of us and everyone should lament and mourn the fact that her freedom has been taken away for what she believes,” Gannam said.

Laura Landenwich, an attorney for the plaintiffs, rejected the comparison.

“Ms. Davis is in an unfortunate situation of her own creation. She is not a martyr.

No one created a martyr today,” Landenwich said, adding “she holds the keys to her jail cell.”

Speaking earlier from the

bench, Bunning said it would set up a “slippery slope” to allow an individual’s ideas to supersede the courts’ authority.

“Her good faith belief is simply not a viable defense,” Bunning said. “I myself have genuinely held religious beliefs ... but I took an oath.”

“Mrs. Davis took an oath,” he added. “Oaths mean things.”

Davis is represented by the Liberty Counsel, which advocates in court for religious freedom. Before she was led away, Davis said the U.S. Supreme Court ruling legalizing gay marriage nationwide conflicts with the vows she made when she became a bornagain Christian.

“I promised to love Him with all my heart, mind and soul because I wanted to make heaven my home,” Davis said.

Miller and Roberts were denied a marriage license four times by Davis or her deputies since the June ruling. Miller testified that one of the deputy clerks told her to apply in another county.

“That’s kind of like saying we don’t want gays or lesbians here. We don’t think you are valuable,” she said.

Rather than be fined, jailed or lose their jobs, five of the clerks told the judge they would issue the licenses. Her son, Nathan Davis, refused, but the judge said that wouldn’t matter and he wouldn’t be punished, as long as the others complied.

Lincoln Highway also known as state Route 38 • LINCOLN HIGHWAY Continued from page A1

A Change.org petition urging President Barack Obama to recognize the Lincoln Highway as a national monument has 350 out of its 500-signature goal, but Shelton said it still needs “thousands” more before becoming a national monument, Shelton said.

“We think the road’s wonderful,” she said, “but it says a lot more if the federal government says, ‘Yes, this is an important road to American history.’ ” Lincoln Highway has a storied history aside from its honest namesake – former President Dwight Eisenhower had some involvement, too.

As a young lieutenant colonel in the first Army transcontinental convoy in 1919, Eisenhower and his crew encountered muddy terrain and bridges that couldn’t accommodate the equipment, Shelton said.

Memories of that trip, plus his experience on the German Autobahn, are what spurred Eisenhower to sign the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956, which allowed $25 billion to construct the 41,000mile Interstate Highway System.

DeKalb County has been the site of a key moment in the road’s history, as well. In 1914, Malta became the first place in the country to have a paved section of the Lincoln Highway, which was paid for

Lincoln Highway signs dot the 3,389 miles of the roadway across the country. with donations. It was picked for its especially muddy terrain, Shelton said.

“In the Malta area, there were lots of local farmers that got involved and knew it would be easier to get grain in town if roads were improved,” she said. “A lot of people worked together to pave a mile ... so people could understand and get a taste of what a paved road could be like.”

The Illinois Highway Coalition’s website, www. drivelincolnhighway.com, provides a statewide point of view of the throughway.

Also known as Illinois Route 38, the highway is a main artery for downtown DeKalb and cuts directly through several local shops, a portion is closed for the annual Corn Fest, and its a busy street during Northern Illinois University’s move-in day.

“DeKalb was the first to

rename one of its roads the Lincoln Highway,” Shelton said. “If you go from one part of the county to another, right down the middle is Lincoln Highway, and it connects the rural areas west of here.”

The association headquarters in Franklin Grove has seen plenty of notable passers-by, volunteer Lynn Asp said. Their guest book includes some notable signatures, including embattled former U.S. Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert, Rochelle native and Hollywood actress Joan Allen, and Michael Wallis, a Route 66 guru who voiced the sheriff in the animated “Cars” movies.

A PBS documentary, “A Ride Along the Lincoln Highway,” plays overseas and on international flights, and has caused the roadway to receive wider attention.

“We have people who come from all over the world,

and I literally mean all over the world,” Asp said. “Mongolia, Australia, South America, Africa – just all over the world.”

These days, you can still drive on most of the original Lincoln Highway, although some alterations were made over the years, including re-routing it around Dugway Proving Ground in Utah, and removing a hairpin turn at the Illinois-Iowa border. In Wyoming, Utah and California, sections of Interstate 80 are paved directly over parts of the original highway.

That’s what Lucianne Boardman of Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, plans to do. Beginning Monday, she will fly to San Francisco and meet her two sisters – one also from Wisconsin, the other from Alaska – and drive the full Lincoln Highway to the East Coast. They will be doing it to honor their great-great aunt Anita King, a silent film star who, in 1915, became the first woman to drive the Lincoln Highway solo from one coast to the other. She started her journey in San Francisco, just as her nieces will.

If they stick to their itinerary, they should be in DeKalb on Sept. 11, Boardman said.

“One problem with it is it’s different roads,” she said.

“It’s just not one highway.”

Along the way, the sisters will be asking people to sign the petition to make the highway a national monument.

“It would just be great for it to get recognition,” Boardman said. “If we can help with that, we would love to.”

NIU using prize to draw students to football games

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Northern Illinois University will offer students a chance to win free tuition if they show Huskies pride.

The university is trying to boost student attendance at its six home football games, with a goal to bring student attendance to 6,000 a game. Students would need to attend, check-in on RedBlack, the department’s mobile rewards app, and stay for the entire game in order to be eligible to enter the drawing for free tuition during the spring 2016 semester.

NIU freshman Kevin Cu-

autle said he thought it was a good idea.

“It’s a good way to get student involvement,” he said.

“Even if we don’t win, you’ll still get a chance for a prize, so it’s exciting. This is just another incentive to go.”

Morris White, assistant athletic director for marketing and game experience, said student attendance averaged to about 5,000 at home games at Huskie Stadium last year.

He wants to see that number increase.

“We are heavily focused on student attendance and the experience,” he said. “We want to provide an experience for games that you can’t get at

home. … We hope that if you miss a game, your peers will have such a great time that you feel bad that you missed out.”

White said that the value of the free semester would range from $5,000 to $10,000 depending on how many credit hours a student took. The department is considering capping

the tuition comp to 12 credit hours, which is a typical fulltime load. The funding for the prize will come directly from the marketing budget, he said.

Students can attend campus sporting events for free, but it can be difficult to grab their attention, White said.

“This is a problem that happens all over the country,” he

said. “It’s not unique to NIU. … There are so many different options. … You can just watch the game from your phone in the comfort of your home. …

We want to enhance campus pride and engagement.”

Aditya Attavane, a freshman at NIU, said that he hadn’t been planning on going to the first game, which is Saturday, but the potential payoff got him interested.

“I go to games if I have people to go with, but not by myself,” he said. “But if it’s that incentive on top of friends going? I can make it.”

Thomas Effa said that he typically goes to NIU games and has been since high

school. In his view, attendance seemed strong.

“It seems like more and more people have been coming,” he said. ‘Maybe that’s because [the team] has been getting better. This will help, too.”

The Huskies kick off their football season at 6:30 p.m.

Saturday, when they will host UNLV. White said it would be an event to remember, with fireworks, skydivers and free T-shirts.

“Saturday will be the measuring stick and we will see where this goes,” he said.

“I hope that those who live on campus come out in full force.”

DeKalb-Sycamore women donate $9,500 to Barb Food Mart

By KATIE SMITH

ksmith@shawmedia.com

Come Stay and Play With Us!

DeKALB – Milk at the Barb Food Mart doesn’t stay on the shelf for long, but hopefully – with the help of a $9,500 donation – it will.

Members with a DeKalb-Sycamore chapter of 100+ Women Who Care, a charity organization that donates to four charities each year, handed over 95 checks Thursday, each for $100, to benefit the Barb Food Mart.

“We vote on the one we feel is going to have the greatest impact on the community,” group member Darla Massier said.

The group presented one, commemorative, oversized check and plenty of questions for the food mart’s director, Sheryl Nakonechny, who gladly showed the women how the food pantry

operates.

Nakonechny, a former Clinton-Rosette Middle School teacher, and a member of the local 100+ Women Who Care, began the Barb Food Mart in 2013 when she realized half of the kids in her district were eligible for the federal government’s free or reduced-price lunch program.

The pantry operates with the support of school officials, the Northern Illinois Food Bank and local donors to provide free food on a weekly basis to families with children in DeKalb schools.

A majority of the $9,500 donation will be put toward providing more milk to DeKalb families, Nakonechny said.

“I only order it every other week, so I get 96 gallons. We average 70 families a week, so I have 26 left over for next week and then just

the first 26 families will get milk,” she said. “I’d like that everybody gets milk every two weeks.”

100+ Women Who Care voted during the group’s Aug. 10 meeting to donate money to the Barb Food Mart, member Donna Brown said.

“I think it’s an excellent choice because they do a wonderful job for our community and they’re only two years old,” Brown said.

This is the fourth donation the group has provided this year, totaling $30,300 in donations since November.

Nakonechny hasn’t calculated exactly how much food and milk the donation will bring to the pantry, but it will certainly make a difference, she said.

“We’re very, very grateful and we’re excited that we’ll be able to – we’ve got the ability to look ahead and buy food,” she said.

Brothers to retire from Coca-Cola after 40-plus years

By CHARLES MENCHACA

cmenchaca@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – Two brothers who have spent more than 40 years together at the same job are retiring this month.

Dave Kinney, 65, of Genoa will leave the Coca-Cola Bottling Co. in St. Charles on Sept 18, and his brother, Dan Kinney, 62, of St. Charles will leave Sept. 11.

The brothers have a combined 89 years of experience working as deliverymen out of the Coca-Cola site, at 105 Industrial Drive in St. Charles.

“It may sound funny, but I’m going to miss seeing my brother,” Dave Kinney said.

“I’ll miss seeing him every day.”

Dave and Dan Kinney see each other at the Coca-Cola property before heading off on their respective routes – the DeKalb area for Dave and the Wheaton area for Dan. Dave Kinney started working for Coca-Cola in 1970, and his brother started there 14 months later after getting their father’s blessing to leave work on their farm behind to make money.

The Kinney brothers look similar in appearance, but they do not have the same personality. Dan Kinney said his brother is more easygoing than he is, but joked he also has less hair.

Former principal charged

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – The former principal of Northwood Middle School in Woodstock has been charged with two counts of theft over $500 and one count of forgery.

Police said an investiga- Jerome tion discovered Wakitsch the former principal, Jerome Wakitsch, 41, of Woodstock, unlawfully withdrew several thousands of dollars from various nondistrict bank accounts associated with the Parent Teacher Organization and the Fox Valley Junior High School Conference.

Wakitsch was an authorized user for both accounts, according to the release.

Wakitsch forged the signature of another authorized user on checks for the PTO account, which required two signatures of authorized people to be valid, police said.

Police said the funds taken unlawfully were alleged to have been used for personal gain.

The investigation started July 31, after Woodstock School District 200 officials told Woodstock police of possible mismanagement and theft from funds.

Wakitsch turned himself in at the Woodstock Police Department after detectives obtained an arrest warrant for him Tuesday, police said.

Wakitsch posted the required $20,000 bond, according to the release, and was released without incident.

His next court date is set for Sept. 15 at the McHenry County Government Center.

Filenko confirmed for first time that police found gun • SHOOTING

Continued from page A1

DeKalb Mayor John Rey asks DeKalb City Council members if they have any more questions during discussion June 5 about the University Village rezoning measure. A state police investigation into a council member’s report of being offered a bribe led to no charges, officials said Thursday.

Alderman Baker frustrated to hear about issue so late • BRIBE

Continued from page A1 The investigation has concluded, Frieders wrote.

“I was advised by the state’s attorney [Thursday] that the state police have conducted a diligent investigation regarding this matter,” he wrote. “In order to bring any charges, the state would need to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that an unlawful attempt to influence a public official had been made.

“At this point, their conclusion is that they are unable to bring proof sufficient to meet that burden.”

In the email, Frieders wrote there had been no allegation that any officials had received compensation, and that State’s Attorney Richard Schmack’s office had made the decision to close the investigation.

Sixth Ward Alderman Dave Baker said he was frustrated to only hear about the issue so late in the game.

“I am definitely very unhappy that my city attorney, who is supposed to represent me, refused to give me all the information until now,” he said. “If I had known what I know now, I would have demanded a stop to everything and a full investigation as to why council talked to Security Properties at any point before the Planning and Zoning decision without public or press there. I said it was highly unethical.”

Security Properties plans for University Village, a 534unit apartment complex on Annie Glidden Road near the Northern Illinois University campus, would bring needed renovations to the apartment buildings and individual units. The net density of the development is 18 units an acre. City officials, however, must agree to rezone the property so if more than 50 percent of it is destroyed, it can be rebuilt at its existing density, which exceeds modern limits of 12 units an acre.

The proposal has been controversial, with some res-

Police said Gliniewicz was patrolling Tuesday about 7:52 a.m. when he noticed three males conducting suspicious activity in the 100 block of Honing Road near a marshy area and a concrete plant. At 7:55 a.m. he called for backup, and officers arrived at 8:01 a.m. At 8:09 a.m., they found Gliniewicz unresponsive with a gunshot wound. He was about 50 yards from his vehicle, police have said.

Filenko confirmed for the first time police found Gliniewicz’s gun, but refused to say whether it had been

fired. He said it does not appear any of the officer’s gear was missing, adding all of the evidence recovered from the scene has been turned over to the Northeastern Illinois Regional Crime Laboratory. He expected results from the lab would be available before the holiday weekend.

The area where the shooting occurred is known for vandalism and squatters, Filenko said. He couldn’t say why Gliniewicz would have been in the area, but speculated it might have been part of a routine. He described the 30-year police veteran as extremely diligent.

“He may have identified a problem area within any-

where in this community. It seems he would be going periodically to see if there was any kind of recurring issues,” Filenko said.

Meanwhile, two detectives have been assigned to filter through the large influx of tips coming in from across the country, Filenko said. He admitted the cursory description of the suspects’ genders and races has spurred the overwhelming number of tips.

“We wish we had more,” Filenko said. “And if we do have more of a description, we are going to put that out.”

Police have not ruled out that the suspects might have fled. But Filenko said investigators are working off the

presumption the suspects still are in Fox Lake or surrounding communities because they might be familiar with the area or have places to stay.

The search and investigation will continue until the suspects are found, police said. More than 100 officers are on the case, and more were arriving Thursday. Lake County Sheriff’s Detective Chris Covelli countered sentiments that police have scaled back their investigation.

“Just because we don’t see them in a specific area doesn’t mean that they’re not involved,” Covelli said. “We have a huge number of police officers in this area.”

idents and council members raising concerns about the density of the apartment complex, the amount of the developer’s contribution to provide social services to the University Village residents, and plans to keep the property as subsidized and low-income housing for decades to come.

The city’s Planning and Zoning Commission voted against the plan May 13, but council members voted, 4-3, Aug. 24 to give it preliminary approval. The council could give final approval at its Sept.

14 meeting.

DeKalb Mayor John Rey said he didn’t think the incident would taint the process or the council’s vote on the proposal.

“I understand the state police investigated and the case has been closed,” Rey said Thursday.

Rey also said he didn’t think the allegation could be used to challenge the council’s decision – whatever it might be – in court. He further said he didn’t think voters or University Village residents should have any reason to question the integrity of the vote because the case was closed without any charges.

Likewise, 4th Ward Alderman Bob Snow said he wasn’t worried.

“It shouldn’t affect anyone’s vote as far as I’m concerned,” he said. “I have no reason to believe everyone won’t vote fairly. Everyone will vote based on the merits of the case.”

First Ward Alderman David Jacobson, 2nd Ward Alderman Bill Finucane, 3rd Ward Alderman Michael Marquardt, 5th Ward Alderwoman Kate Noreiko, 7th Ward Alderwoman Monica O’Leary, and City Attorney Dean Frieders couldn’t immediately be reached for comment Thursday evening.

But Baker said the allegations created a negative perception.

‘Everything seems to be tainted,” he said. “There’s a big question as to whether or not this whole issue has already been decided.”

Clinton camp urged former State Dept. worker to testify The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Aides to presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton urged a former State Department employee who helped set up her private email server to appear before a House investigative panel, but the former staffer has said he will assert his constitutional right not to testify.

Clinton, the Democratic front-runner for the 2016 nomination, has been dogged by criticism about her use of a private email server for government business during her tenure as

Pope Francis’ visit presents security issues

NEW YORK – The pope’s visit to New York City later this month will likely raise security issues and costs to new heights in a city where protecting a dignitary is an art and a point of pride.

New York Police Commissioner

secretary of state, and she has struggled to explain her decision.

The response of Bryan Pagliano to a committee subpoena was unwelcome news to Clinton aides who had pressed him to be interviewed by the GOP-led panel investigating the deadly 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya.

The aides were not authorized to publicly discuss private conversations and spoke only on the condition of anonymity.

Attorneys for Pagliano sent the committee a letter Monday stating their client would not

testify at a hearing planned for next week. The panel subpoenaed Pagliano last month.

Pagliano was a State Department employee from 2009 to 2013 and is now a private contractor working in the department’s Bureau of Information Resource Management, according to a department official who asked not to be identified when discussing personnel matters.

Maryland Rep. Elijah Cummings, the top Democrat on the Benghazi panel, said he was not surprised that Pagliano would refuse to testify, given the “wild and unsubstantiated accusations” against Clinton.

William Bratton said local, state and federal law enforcement face an “unprecedented challenge,” particularly Sept. 25.

That’s when Francis will address world leaders at the United Nations, preside over a 9/11 memorial service, ride through Central Park and celebrate Mass

at Madison Square Garden.

Airport-style security will greet those hoping to get a glimpse of the pope in his stops in New York, Washington and Philadelphia. Residents can expect road closures and other inconveniences during the four-day visit.

Maj. Gen. William Beydler

commanding general of II Marine Expeditionary Force considered the Marine Corps’ workhorse.

The weather appeared to be calm at the time. Skies were clear, winds were less than 5 mph and the temperature was 79 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.

One Marine was taken from the scene by medical aircraft and pronounced dead at the hospital, according to a news release. Two remained hospitalized in stable condition, including one awaiting “a minor procedure,” the release said. At least one of the hospitalized Marines was previously described as having serious injuries.

Nine have been treated and released. No names have been disclosed.

“The loss of a Marine or sailor affects us all. My heartfelt condolences go out to the families and friends of our deceased Marine,” said Maj. Gen. William Beydler, commanding general of II Marine Expeditionary Force.

North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory said in a release that the “tragic accident reminds us all of the dangers and sacrifices our military men and

women and their families face as they protect our freedom and way of life.”

The helicopter was assigned to Heavy Helicopter Squadron-464, Marine Aircraft Group-29, 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing.

The CH-53E Super Stallion stands nearly three stories tall and has a top speed of 172 mph.

The Marine Corps website said the aircraft can carry 16 tons of cargo – such as the Marines’ Light Armored Vehicle – on a 100-mile roundtrip and said it has “the armament, speed and agility to qualify as much more than a heavy lifter.”

It was used in Afghanistan and Iraq to ferry troops and equipment to remote bases.

In 2005, a CH-53E went down in bad weather in western Iraq, killing 30 Marines and a sailor. At the time it was the worst loss of life for the Marines since the 1983 bombing of a Marine barracks in Beirut, Lebanon, that killed 220 Marines.

Military officials said in 2005 that the model’s safety record was on par with other Marine Corps aircraft.

RALEIGH, N.C. – A group of U.S. Marines was practicing how to exit a hovering helicopter by sliding down ropes when the aircraft had to land harder and faster than normal in North Carolina, killing one Marine and injuring 11 others Wednesday night, military officials said.

About 20 Marines at Camp Lejeune were participating in the training that requires them to exit through the back of the helicopter using suspended ropes, according to a news release. The technique allows Marines to enter and exit terrain where helicopter landings would be difficult.

The CH-53E Super Stallion helicopter made the hard landing around 9 p.m. in a training area known as Stone Bay, military officials said. A Marine spokeswoman didn’t immediately respond to questions about whether the dead or injured Marines were inside the aircraft, on the ground or suspended from a rope.

The Marines described the accident as a hard landing, which generally describes when “an aircraft impacts the ground with a greater vertical speed and force than a normal landing, typically after a rapid or steep descent.”

The Super Stallion, a massive, heavy-lift helicopter, is the largest in the military and

DeKalb should help renovate Coach Theater

Do not wall off America’s promise of freedom

To the Editor: I am sad that my country is rescinding the invitation proclaimed on the Statue of Liberty. As a high school student, I thrilled to Emma Lazarus’ words inscribed on the pedestal under the Statue.

“Give me your tired, your poor, “Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, “The wretched refuse of your teeming shore, Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

I thought of three of my grandparents who had come to the United States as immigrants.

My father’s parents sailed into New York Harbor in 1923, fleeing the persecution of Armenians, seeing the Statue welcome them to what my grandmother called “this blessed land.”

Most of us have an immigrant heritage. Like my grandparents, many came to the U.S. as their best hope for a better life for themselves or their children.

I hear that we must secure our borders. Yet our country celebrated the fall of the Berlin Wall and the freedom it signaled.

How can we even contemplate turning our country into a walled fortress?

What kind of wall or penalties would stop people so desperate

that they accept the risks and hardships of trying to enter the US? What horrors have they left behind?

What if, rather than foolishly trying to build a wall along our border, we work with Mexico to solve the problems that cause people to flee?

How desperate must parents be to send 10-year-olds alone to a strange land? I shudder at the thought that any children should have to live in a place so dangerous and hopeless that parents would consider a risky, expensive, illegal escape to another country with no assurance of assistance or care upon arrival as the best hope for their future.

I recognize that immigration is a complicated and difficult issue. Any attempt to solve the problems we see now may well engender other problems that are difficult to anticipate.

But I want our country to err on the side of hope and opportunity. Rather than fearfully clutching what we have and watching it diminish and stagnate, let’s open our eyes and our hands and our hearts.

Can we invite others in, learn from them and teach them?

Can we plant seeds of hope and harvest bounty for all of us rather than hoarding?

Government overreach a threat to liberty

To the Editor: It used to be that if you owned property, you had absolute right to it. Today that’s no longer true.

According to the city of DeKalb’s website, it is the duty of the Crime-Free Housing Bureau to oversee rental property registration and the annual inspection program, among other things.

That’s right, property registration.

How can a government claim any sort of legal authority over property it does not own? I understand that enforcement of inspecting buildings is nothing new, but to DeKalb it is.

That understood, it is even more unsettling that this totalitarian breach of natural right extends far beyond commercial and rental property. When it comes to the city thinking they have the authority to fine or imprison people into compliance, there is no boundary on what is or is not enforceable.

City residents have been bullied into spending vast amounts of money on cosmetic home repairs under the threat of fine or imprisonment.

What divine power do these people believe they hold?

Property rights are the foundation of a free society.

When government assumes responsibility to decide what

is allowable, attractive or even safe in a personal home or property, natural right is violated and liberty is dead.

Opinions could spur debate for a great deal of time over how important these codes are in the name of safety. But if safety is the issue, who holds the greatest interest in maintaining a safe building?

My answer would be the owner. If I am the owner of home or building it would be my priority to ensure that those structures stay in excellent shape so I could continue their use.

Will there be people who neglect or abandon buildings? Of course there will, but to violate the rights of the many due to negligence by a few is not the answer. Danger is not curable by government. Individuals must decide what is or is not safe.

We all know the state of Illinois is in a very dangerous situation, and it’s no secret people are leaving Illinois by the busload.

With this sort of tyrannical behavior it won’t be long before DeKalb is left looking like it did back in its incorporation in 1856.

If people are going to continue to accept this government-knows-best attitude, I propose we at least stop lying to ourselves. This is not the Land of The Free, and yes, liberty is dead.

What the oath of office means to clerk Kim Davis

By NOAH FELDMAN Bloomberg View

What’s in an oath? That fascinating question arose as part of a crusade by Rowan County, Kentucky, Clerk Kim Davis to seek a religious exemption from issuing marriage licenses to gay couples.

Before the U.S. Supreme Court put the kibosh on her claim, Davis in her legal brief argued that she understood her oath of office “to mean that, in upholding the federal and state constitutions and laws, she would not act in contradiction to the moral law of God.” Why? Because her oath included the words, “So help me God.” Of course, the oath of office prescribed by the U.S. Constitution doesn’t include those words. George Washington famously added them after taking the oath of office as president, and tradition has maintained them. Davis’s claim, however, is nevertheless intriguing. It implies

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

THE FIRST

September 4, 2015

that obedience to divine law is somehow baked in to one’s constitutional duties and obligations.

A few days ago, in response to a column I’d written suggesting that Arkansas’s proposed Ten Commandments statue for the grounds of the state capital violates the U.S. Constitution’s establishment clause, Arkansas state Sen. Jason Rapert, R, tweeted a question to me that seemed rhetorical.

“How is it,” he wrote, “you conclude that the federal government can tell state governments what monuments they can or cannot install?”

I’m not a very skilled or faithful Twitter user. Nevertheless, something about the question struck me, so I wrote back, “It doesn’t! The Constitution doesn’t. You know, the one you swore to uphold.”

Rapert sent me a flurry of counterresponses, but what was most striking was his direct reply to my point about

the oath. “Yes,” Rapert wrote, “with my right hand on the Bible every time.”

I confess I wasn’t sure what he meant at first – but when I read about Davis’s brief, it clicked. The Arkansas senator was saying, I think, that by putting his hand on the Bible when he swore to uphold the Constitution, he was putting the Bible first. That resonates with Davis’s argument that her oath incorporated her faith.

Are Davis and Rapert right about the oath of office?

The core of their notion isn’t crazy. An oath is typically taken by some power, and most people no doubt believe they’re swearing by Almighty God to uphold the Constitution and laws of the United States (and of the state, in the case of these state officials).

Would it make sense to swear an oath in God’s name and then go and obey that oath in violation of God’s word?

It wouldn’t, of course – but that’s (mostly) beside the

point. Whom you swear the oath by is different from what you swear to do. Officials in the U.S. definitively don’t swear to uphold God’s law.

They swear to uphold the Constitution, which never mentions God at all. And they swear to uphold laws enacted under the Constitution – which means laws that are in compliance with the establishment clause that prohibits any established or official religion.

That’s the main reason the framers didn’t include God in the oath of office. It would’ve contradicted the proposition in the Constitution that said no religious test would ever be required to hold office under the Constitution.

From the outside, the Stage Coach Players Theater building at 126 S. Fifth St. in DeKalb looks more like a bank or a post office – from the 1950s.

That’s not what goes on inside, of course. Since 2001, the Stage Coach Players have called the building home, and they’ve continued to add to the offerings of volunteer productions at their 164-seat theater. Their next production, a stage adaptation of the 1967 film “The Graduate,” begins a two-weekend, seven-show run Thursday.

Last year, volunteers put in more than 50,000 hours and staged eight different shows. Community members bought almost 8,800 tickets, according to documents from the city. DeKalb City council members running in contested elections even took the stage there in the spring as part of a candidates’ forum hosted by the DeKalb Chamber of Commerce.

The Stage Coach Players have asked the City Council to contribute more than $197,000 in tax increment financing funds for a $272,000 project to update and maintain the building exterior. At the suggestion of city staff, plans also include improvements to the landscaping and parking lot around the building.

This is how TIF funds are meant to be used, and the City Council should grant the request.

The players stage theatrical productions in an intimate setting, providing a unique entertainment experience not available anywhere else downtown.

The exterior of the building does little to betray that fact, however.

In surveys, people have said they want those kind of entertainment experiences in downtown DeKalb, and people who attend plays often like to have a meal or a drink afterward, so the theater is a key economic driver for the downtown area.

Making the building look more like a theater could raise awareness about what’s offered there and bring more people downtown.

The players’ request does exceed the city’s guidelines for TIF contributions to projects – the city normally caps the amount it will pay at 20 percent of total project costs, and the $172,000-plus the theater is requesting is about 70 percent of the total project cost.

But this a grass-roots arts group, not a for-profit business. The plays are performed and directed by volunteers, mostly local people whose only payoff for their performances is the joy of self-expression and entertaining others.

So the theater is not only an economic driver, it’s also an artistic outlet for people from all walks of life. It enhances the quality of life in DeKalb and the surrounding area.

Upgrading the building can help Stage Coach to grow, bringing more people downtown, and simultaneously spruce up the area. It’s a worthwhile use of TIF funds.

ANOTHER VIEW

Woman jailed for crime of journalism Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev has imprisoned nearly 100 journalists, human rights advocates, religious believers and opposition figures in the past several years, transforming his regime from a soft autocracy into one of Eurasia’s harshest police states.

Few of those he has dispatched have shamed him as thoroughly, and as tellingly, as Khadija Ismayilova.

Ismayilova was sentenced to 71/2 years in prison on Tuesday after one of the farcical political trials that are becoming routine in Azerbaijan, a petrostate on the Caspian Sea. Her offense was a series of hard-hitting investigative stories for Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty detailing how Aliyev and his family had corruptly enriched themselves at the state’s expense. On Monday, she delivered her latest coup: a scathing dissection of her own persecution.

As the 39-year-old journalist pointed out in her final court testimony, the charges brought against her were similar to those she has leveled against Aliyev and his family in her reporting: illegal business activity, tax evasion and abuse of power. The difference, she said, is that she backed up her allegations with facts, witnesses and documents, while the case against her relied on crudely forged statements and easily disproved claims about her relationship with Radio Free Europe. Not a single witness testified against her in court.

“I am more successful in this business of finding proof than is the notorious prosecutor’s staff,” said Ismayilova, who among other scoops revealed in 2012 that Aliyev’s family was granted the rights to a lucrative gold field. “They are unable to even prepare a proper slander case.”

Though she was prevented from reading her full statement, Ismayilova’s brave speech will be an inspiration to those Azeris who still aspire to see their country follow the path of emerging democracies in the former Soviet Union. “I won’t break,” she said. “Yes, I might be in prison, but the work will continue.”

“I think the repression machine is about to collapse,” she said. “Surely, we can see this as a result of the collapse in the oil market, but there are other reasons as well. One of these reasons is us.”

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Foster has been with the program for six seasons and knows what it takes to compete against other schools in the Big Northern Conference.

“We need to continue on the path that we have been on since I have been a coach here,” Foster said. “Girls are taking ownership and they really run this program and it shows. In order to be relevant in this conference, they need to visualize themselves on top.”

fter missing almost all of the 2014 football season with a broken collarbone, Cole Tucker has seen many more basketball scholarship offers than football ones.

A few more games like his season opener, and the DeKalb junior receiver – who also is the point guard on the basketball team – might see those numbers even out.

Tucker had seven catches for 127 yards and two touchdowns in his first full game since his sophomore campaign in the Barbs’ 35-21 loss at Plainfield North.

Considering he played only

the second half of the team’s final playoff game last year, he said it was good to be back on the field.

“It was awesome. It felt good to recover from last season and come out and Inside play like that,” Tucker said.

SYCAMORE – For the second year in a row, the Sycamore football team heads into a Week 2 game against North Lawndale Charter after a special teams letdown in the opener against Lincoln-Way West.

The Spartans are hoping for a similar type of bounce back when the teams meet at 7:15 tonight in Sycamore – they won, 4212, last year.

Last week in a 35-31 loss, Sycamore allowed six Warriors drives to start inside their own 45, and only one was because of a turnover.

Joe Ryan “You’re putting yourself in a bad spot,” Sycamore coach Joe Ryan said. “Those are situations you can’t put your defense in. If they’re scoring that many and going 80 yards, I feel like we have some issues. When they’re that close, they’re in four-down territory with a huge offensive line and all the weapons they need – that’s just a bad spot.”

Despite losing by four, the Spartans (0-1) outgained the Warriors by 42 yards with a balanced attack that featured 192 rushing yards and 197 through the air. Not only did Brett Bemis account for all the passing yards, he ran for 166 yards and three touchdowns.

“I loved our balance between pass and run,” Ryan said. “And that’s what we want to do this year. I thought Brett was really good in our run game with his reads, and I thought he made some good decisions. I thought his reads this year are far and beyond what he had last year. He is just a much more mature quarterback.”

PRESEASON: BEARS 24, BROWNS 0

Williams, Fales stand out in Bears’ finale

CHICAGO – First things first: Bears fans don’t do the wave.

Period.

I get it was just a fourth exhibition game, but the faithful who turned out to watch the beloved beat the Cleveland Browns, 24-0, in the pillow fight by the lake had Papa Bear turning over in his grave as they brought back memories of Jonathan Quinn, Henry Burris and Dan Bazuin with the silliness in the stands.

If you want a better football team, stop it.

Really, people, what would Dick Butkus or Bronco Nagurski think, not to mention Doug Plank?

As for the game, who knows

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush what we can take out of these affairs when no starter for either team ever sees the field?

We could ask how the NFL and its 32 member clubs dare charge regular-season prices for this fluff, but I suppose that’s another question for another day.

We have to ask how much anyone should take away from the individual performances of the kids fighting for jobs when half the players on the field never will

play in a real NFL game.

With so little to consider, let’s start with the obvious, which was that Willie Young and Lamarr Houston were men among boys (although Young admittedly is not a lock to make the team), and Jeremy Langford, Marc Mariani, Mason Foster and Terrance Mitchell were the best players on the field early, while there were more likely roster survivors than not in the game.

Even if Young never is going to be a real outside linebacker, with what the Bears have to work with, I’m hard-pressed to see any of those six not making the team, or Langford and Mitchell being denied significant playing time.

Beyond that, the kid who popped out the most for me was 340-pound Terry Williams.

The young man his teammates call “Swamp Monster” was unblockable at times, played sideline to sideline and could fill a huge need for the Bears with the pending suspension of Jeremiah Ratliff and the conditioning and injury concerns for Eddie Goldman.

Despite being a first-team All-American at East Carolina, Williams is an undrafted rookie free agent who wasn’t signed until after attending a three-day tryout at the Bears rookie minicamp.

Last meeting: The Barbs won the Week 2 meeting in West Chicago, 54-20, last year.

Scouting the Wildcats: The Wildcats surrendered 402 yards of offense to the Wolves, including three touchdowns in 8 minutes.

The team features 14 to 15 new starters from last year, including quarterback Alex Turney, who had a 56-yard pass late against the Wolves and a 10-yard scoring pass to Jacob Wiegele.

What’s at stake: The Barbs might have an easier go of it in Week 2, going from facing a Plainfield North team featuring NCAA Division I talent to a rebuilding West Chicago team. In last year’s meeting, the offense scored 41 first-half points behind five touchdowns from the now-graduated Dre Brown. Last week, the Barbs managed only 46 rushinwg yards against the stout North defense.

“When your behind, you have to throw, but we have to run the ball better to be successful,” Coach Matt Weckler said.

Weckler said he expects the blocking to improve dramatically against the Wildcats.

“We hung with them until we had our breakdowns,” Weckler said. “I take it as a positive that we were able to see some things we don’t do very good, some things some personnel wasn’t good at that we made some changes this week to gear for the conference season.”

Ryan said things are going good for the Spartans healthwise compared to last year – the team lost Zach Kalk early in their Week 1 game last year – but they still are beat up good after the physical loss.

“We didn’t lose anybody for the year, so that’s a good thing,” Ryan said. “But you don’t come out of a game that physical against that caliber of a team without feeling bumps and bruises. And we had a few. We’re trying to get them all back for Friday, and I think we will.”

Scouting the Phoenix: They “Looking at this team, they are went 6-5 last year, ending with a loss to Hubbard. The Spartans have well coached and pretty physical,” scored at least 30 points in each of Kaneland coach Tom Fedderly said. “That’s going to be a the big the past three meetings, including test. We have to execute playing a 54-20 win in 2012 in the last a physical game. And it’s going to meeting in Sycamore. Coach Joe Ryan said the deep passing abilities be a four-quarter game. It’s a great opportunity to see how hard we of quarterback Anderson Wendell, play for four quarters.” with top target Daniel Pickens, What’s at stake: Kaneland’s Jake make the team an offensive threat.

Byron (0-1) at Genoa-Kingston (1-0) Game time: 7 p.m. today Last week: The Tigers lost to Marengo, 33-0, at home; the Cogs won at Mendota., 24-19.

Last meeting: G-K lost, 35-20, last year in Byron.

Scouting the Tigers: For the second year in a row, the Tigers lost to the Indians to start the season. Last year, Byron recovered by beating G-K in Week 2. It finished the year 8-5, reaching the Class 3A state semifinals. Marengo outgained the Tigers, 440-148, and Byron quarterback Payton Jansen was 0 for 9 with two interceptions.

What’s at stake: Last year, both teams were winless when they faced off in Week 2. Byron came out strong, leading by 13 before the G-K offense got on the field. This year, the Cogs enter with some momentum under first-year coach Bill McCarty after a comeback win at Mendota. Zach Butler scored with 4:44 left to give the Cogs the win. Ian Fell had 81 receiving yards and two touchdowns, while Kegan Shannon and Daniel Guardi each ran for more than 80 yards.

“It’s good to get the first win,” McCarty said, “but you have to get past it and move on to the next game.”

Butler ended up having to move to running back as the Cogs continued to deal with injuries, and might be without as many as four starters tonight. Brady Huffman played at quarterback, but Butler is expected back there tonight.

Christian Liberty (0-1, 0-1 Northeastern Athletic Conference) at Hiawatha (0-1, 0-1 NAC) Game time: 7 p.m. today Last week: Christian Liberty lost at Luther North;, 44-6 Hiawatha lost at Marquette, 48-8.

Last meeting: The Hawks won, 45-0, in Week 3 last year.

Scouting the Chargers: The Chargers have been slumping for a while now. Last year, they scored only 19 points and were shut out seven times. Their best defensive effort was a 34-0 loss to North Shore Country Day. In every other game, they surrendered more than 40 points, reaching rock bottom in a 82-0 loss at Chicago Hope.

And their last win came in Week 9 of the 2012 season, 43-28 against CICS-Longwood.

What’s at stake: The Hawks couldn’t ask for a better chance to even their record. They struggled mightily last week to produce yards, and stop Marquette from doing the same. Their only points came on a turnover. Coach Sean Donnelly said better play needs to start in the trenches.

“We need to play better on both lines,” he said. “We got dominated last week on both sides of the line of scrimmage. It was pretty brutal.”

Donnelly said he’s looking to center Cole Dunbar and guard Justin Parisot to have bounce-back games. Ethan Hoffman will start at quarterback for an offense that amassed 51 yards.

NIU WOMEN’S CROSS COUNTRY

Young squad has reason for optimism

By JESSE SEVERSON

jseverson@shawmedia.com DeKALB – The only time the Northern Illinois women’s cross country team finished seventh or better in the Mid-American Conference was its inaugural year in 1981.

First-year coach Adrian Myers is looking to change that.

“I foresee us being a top-five squad in the conference this season, and the good thing is with who we bring back, we’ll have a very solid recruiting class to where we have a team in the next two years that competes for the championship,” said Myers, who comes to NIU after spending the past two seasons as director of operations for the men’s and women’s cross country and track and field programs at Purdue.

Despite finishing ninth in the conference meet last year, the Huskies are predicted to finish seventh in the MAC in 2015.

The reason for Myers’ optimism comes from a strong stable of young runners, including sophomore Kelsey Hildreth – who returns after a record-breaking freshman season in 2014. Hildreth, from Byron, set the school record in both the 5,000-meter race (17:20) and the 6,000 (20:33).

“I think she’s one of the nation’s elite,” Myers said. “She can be as good as she wants to be.

There’s no question that she’s going to be a multiple All-American by the time she’s done here.”

Although Hildreth frequently was the fastest finisher for the

Huskies by a large margin last year, there have been more runners in the pack with her during training this season, which kicks off today at the Illini Challenge Open with the Huskies, Illinois and Missouri in Urbana.

Maura Beattie is a redshirt freshman after transferring from Central Michigan last year and her older sister, Kayla, set the high school track record in the 1,600 and the 3,200 while at Woodstock in 2011. Before originally heading to the Chippewas, Maura Beattie finished second in the 3,200 at the Class 2A state meet while running for Woodstock in 2013.

“We have some really good newcomers,” said Hildreth, who has increased her mileage since her freshman season. “It looks like they’re going to be up running with me. It’s nice to have running partners during practice.”

Joining Hildreth and Maura Beattie in the season opening meet will be graduate senior transfer Katie Bristow from Scotland, freshman Kayla Fallis, freshman Ericka Hibser, junior Carly Pederson and redshirt sophomore Taylor Perkins.

“For us right now, I think we have a lot more depth than we’ve ever had,” said Myers, who hopes to increase the 13-runner roster to 20 next season. “The program, historically, has had maybe one front-runner, and then after that we’ve had a lot of trouble, and in this sport, if you don’t have depth, you’re not going to be successful.”

Fabuluje has huge upside • ARKUSH

Continued from page B1 He also is the only true 3-4, zero technique on the roster, and against the Browns he looked like a guy who really could help this year.

Another player who caught my eye I wrote about only a few days ago, saying he seemed targeted for the practice squad and is at least two years away.

Now, I’m not so sure Tayo Fabuluje isn’t the second best tackle on the Bears – not including Kyle Long, of course – and shouldn’t be moved into the starting lineup at right tackle.

He is incredibly raw. But he also was the biggest man on the field, the most powerful and when he is in the right place, he makes things happen.

If the Bears are going to have to cover for and live with mistakes from their right tackle, why not suffer with a player

with a huge upside.

Fabuluje has it; Jordan Mills and Charles Leno appear to have little or none.

Finally, let’s talk about David Fales. I know, a tiny sample size against backups and scrubs.

But as Fales warmed to the task a little bit more with each successive possession, I was much more comfortable watching him at quarterback than I have been at any time since Jimmy Clausen arrived.

This is more a gut thing, although Fales’ 77.8 completion percentage on 18 throws, 7.3 average, two TDs, zero picks and 134 QB rating don’t hurt, but if you’re really rebuilding, and Lord knows this team has to be, don’t you again go with the kid with the upside rather than the journeyman Clausen, who’s as close to his ceiling as he’ll ever get?

Mom’s marriage motives questioned by older man

Dear Abby: I am a 63-yearold man living with a 28-yearold woman. She has three children – ages 2, 6 and 7.

They live with us every other weekend. I have fallen in love with them. We are planning on getting married soon, and I want to be sure the kids are secure when I’m gone.

I have an erectile dysfunction problem. She says she doesn’t care about sex, but I’m worried she will stray. I was 28 once, and that’s all I thought about. I’m afraid she is marrying me for her own benefit – the house, Social Security and my business.

I love her and her children dearly. She says she loves me, but I’m just not sure. Can you help me figure out what to

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips do? – Too Good To Be True?

Dear Too Good: If you have any doubts about marrying this woman, then you shouldn’t do it. However, if you do decide to marry her, first discuss this with your legal adviser and be sure you have an ironclad prenuptial agreement.

As to providing for her little ones in the event of your demise, discuss that with a lawyer who specializes in wills and trusts and who can advise you about the best way to leave money/assets in

trust for them after they have reached a certain age – so the money can’t be dissipated prematurely.

Dear Abby: Our parents have been dead for 25 years.

Along the way, we have also lost sisters, nieces and cousins. Every year when we gather for a family reunion, part of it is a candle lighting and spoken remembrance of those loved ones we have lost.

Some in my family get tearyeyed or cry.

My husband refuses to attend my family reunions because of this. He says my relatives have issues and need to see a mental health professional. He makes fun of us and the way we are together. I have a large family with

many offspring. Do you agree we are crazy for the remembrance and the tears? – Loves

My Family In Georgia Dear Loves: No, I do not.

During a ceremony such as you have described, tears can be a healthy display of emotion.

However, I do think your husband’s comments are insensitive and judgmental, and he’s doing the right thing for everyone by staying away.

Feeling as he does, far away is where he belongs.

Dear Abby: My wife, who is a Realtor, is upset because a couple of our best friends listed their home with someone else. My wife feels they should have had the decency to at least notify her that they

were going to give the listing to another Realtor. My wife had sold them their home a few years ago. Your thoughts, please? – Miffed In Miami Dear Miffed: No law says this couple was obligated to have your wife represent them. I suspect that they didn’t inform your wife because they wanted to avoid an uncomfortable conversation.

If she would like to know the reason they listed their home with someone else, she should ask them. It’s possible the other Realtor offered services beyond what your wife does.

Memory changes an inevitable experience as we age Dear Dr. K: What kind of memory changes am I likely to experience as I get older? Why do these changes happen?

Dear Reader: Many people begin to notice changes in their powers of recall around the age of 50. You may have to rack your brain to remember a name or word that is familiar to you. You may find it increasingly difficult to divide your attention among more than one activity or source of information. And you may get more easily distracted than when you were younger.

You’ll notice that different kinds of memory decline with age. These include episodic memory (which stock you sold last year from your retirement account), semantic memory (facts, such as the

Changes take place in

the brain as we age. These changes can undermine the encoding, consolidation and retrieval of new information.

For example, as we age, we lose neurons in the hippocampus, a brain area involved with memory processing. In another change, structures on the surface of neurons that allow them to communicate with one another may stop functioning normally.

These changes make it harder to concentrate. As you age, you learn information more slowly and may not absorb as much detail. You may have more trouble recalling information because you didn’t fully learn it in the first place. The memories that last are those that you paid the closest attention to when you formed them.

In addition, executive function, which involves the overall regulation of thinking and behavior, declines with age. These higher-order processes are what enable us to plan, sequence, initiate and work toward some goal.

These changes may sound disturbing, but they don’t impair your ability to function effectively. Your ability to make sense of what you know and to form reasonable arguments and judgments is well-preserved. Moreover, the wisdom you’ve gained from experience over the years remains unscathed.

Demand your boyfriend immediately stop using cocaine Dr. Wallace: I’m 19 and dating an older guy who is very good to me, but he has one flaw that really worries me.

My mom told me that after she gets married we will move to another town. My best friend wants me to stay here and live with my dad because she will miss me. I know I will miss my friends, but my mom wants me to live with her and I want to. Besides this, my dad never mentioned he wanted me to live with him.

I tried to explain things to my friend, but she says I’m just giving up and not trying.

leaves no time for her to see or talk to me, her best friend.

She never answered me.

She got mad and just turned on her heel and walked away.

Was I wrong to tell her this? –

Paula, Oakland, California Paula: Yes, you were. What

you said was self-centered and confrontational, hardly the way a friend would act. You gave your friend an ultimatum: “Choose me or your boyfriend.” This sort of challenge usually backfires.

You owe your friend an apology. Call her and let her know you still want to be friends, and say you are sorry for your poor choice of words.

CROSSWORD

ADVICE & PUZZLES 3 BRIDGE Phillip Alder

Tricky decisions, but a sane result

Adrienne Rich, a poet and essayist who died in 2012, said, “Pride is a tricky, glorious, double-edged feeling.”

In bridge, bidding decisions can be tricky – as in this deal – and there are 13 tricks in the play. What do you think of this auction? How should the play go in five clubs after West leads the diamond 10?

Did West have a more effective opening salvo?

The given auction occurred when the deal was originally played. South was a tad nervous in overcalling two clubs, for fear that it would be passed out.

But he thought that unlikely given his heart void. West might have raised diamonds.

Then North had a tricky decision. With 5-5 in the majors and the useful club king, she did not want to pass, but had only eight points. What would you have done?

I think North should have bid two spades, the higher-ranking of two five-card suits first. If she had, maybe she would have ended in four or more spades. Note that six spades fails if East, after cashing the diamond ace, shifts to a heart.

North, though, preferred to show her stronger suit. Then South bid what he hoped he could make.

East won the first trick with his diamond queen and shifted to a trump. Declarer won in the dummy, played a spade to his queen, trumped a diamond, ran the spade jack, ruffed a heart, drew trumps, and took 11 tricks, losing two diamonds.

West would have done better to lead a trump, which would have killed the contract – but that was tricky to find.

Local Scout takes momentous trek

Takes part in Catholic leadership program

By RHONDA GILLESPIE

rgillespie@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Going to Philmont South Ranch in New Mexico is not such an unusual trip for a Boy Scout to take.

But for Keegan Donnelly, his travel there this summer was a bit of a departure from the usual.

For two weeks, Donnelly, a 15-year-old Eagle Scout from DeKalb’s Boy Scout Troop 33, took part in the St. George Trek exploring what he called “God’s country” with 80 boys he’d never met.

The St. George Trek is the National Catholic Committee on Scouting’s leadership program at Philmont Ranch.

The program brings Catholic high school youth from across the country together with Roman Catholic priests and seminarians for 11 days of backpacking.

Usually, Scouts take the Philmont trip with their own troop and scoutmaster, so the thought of traveling so far from home with boys and leaders he’d never met was daunting initially, Donnelly said. Donnelly said his scoutmaster, Cliff Golden, helped put him at ease by telling him to look at the other Scouts not as boys he didn’t know, but as friends he hadn’t met yet.

“This was a good opportunity and a cost-effective opportunity. And, it was a good way to meet new friends,” said Donnelly, who said he had always wanted to visit the Philmont Scout Ranch.

It was Donnelly’s father who discovered the opportunity for the Aurora Central Catholic High School sophomore to take the St. George Trek.

He went through an application process through the National Catholic Committee

on Scouting, which included an interview, before being chosen as the lone Scout to represent the Three Fires Council and the Rockford Diocese, which includes DeKalb.

Donnelly saved money, used some funds from his Troop 33 earnings and had additional help from Dad to pay for the trip. Donnelly, an aspiring engineer, said he is glad he got over his initial apprehension because the trip opened his eyes to resources he may now be able to tap into in pursuit of his career, and helped him see more of his inner strength and richness of his life so far.

“I felt really glad I did it, and thankful for everyone who encouraged me,” he said.

“I consider myself an ordinary kid who gets an opportunity to do extraordinary things in life.”

Later this month, Donnelly

Salad Supper to begin Chamber concert set at Westminster church church’s fall activities

The Bethlehem Lutheran Church Women will begin fall activities with a Salad Supper at 6 p.m. Tuesday.

The ingredients for this event involve members bringing a salad to share, good fellowship, and an informative program to follow.

The program will be presented by Lynnea Erickson, who traveled to Sierrea Leone, Africa, about six years ago with a college friend. She knew they were going to visit an orphanage run by the Jonathan Childcare Ministries, an interfaith organization in the Midwest. It seemed like an interesting way to spend the Christmas vacation.

That visit became the first of many annual trips back. While in Sierra Leone, the opportunities for service were so diverse.

Erickson was able to spend time with the children, help, with vacation Bible school and attend workshops run by medical teams that provided education to local midwives and doctors about birthing needs, deliveries, nutrition, etc. She

has worked in their gardens, done construction and spent time with the children.

Erickson will show the Bethlehem members and guests where she has been with a PowerPoint presentation of pictures of the country.

Friends and visitors are welcome to attend this meeting. Guests do not need to bring a salad. Bethlehem is handicap accessible. Child care will be available during the dinner and program. Men are welcome to attend the program, which will begin about 7 p.m.

The regular circles of Bethlehem will begin their monthly Bible studies in the coming weeks. There are three circles – one meets on the second Tuesday afternoon, one meets on the third Monday evening, and one gathers on the second Thursday morning of each month.

For information about these groups, call the church office at 815758-3203.

The church is at 1915 N. First St. in DeKalb.

Westminster Presbyterian Church in DeKalb will feature Northern Illinois University violin professor Mathias Tacke in a chamber concert at 3 p.m. Sept. 13.

Tacke will be joined by Kishwaukee Symphony Orchestra concertmaster Ann Montzka and Mathias Tacke KSO principal cellist Thomas Cappaert in the string version of the Goldberg Variations by JS Bach.

Two of Tacke’s NIU violin students will play the duo “Blue Rondo a la Turk,”

by Jeremy Coehn, which will feature the brother/sister violin duo Abe and Elle Baker.

The program will end with the mysteriously beautiful G minor viola Quintet by WA Mozart.

Westminster church is
