Moxie in DeKalb to close in ’15 Owner: ‘I always knew I wouldn’t do this forever’

By KATIE DAHLSTROM kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Megan Morrison wants her downtown DeKalb business Moxie to go out with a bang.

Morrison will close Moxie, a store that has drawn customers at 230 E. Lincoln Highway for nearly 10 years, next spring. But business won’t dwindle over the next few months, she said. New items will continue to flow into the store through the holidays and customers can still expect

the usual holiday parties and shopping events.

“It was just the right timing,” Morrison said. “I always knew I wouldn’t do this forever.”

She decided 2015 would be the year to close the eclectic shop filled with new and vintage gifts, jewelry, clothes and home decor about five years ago after merging it with her other downtown business, Megan Morrison Home and Garden.

Announcing the looming closure Thursday via Face-

book and a customer email blast was a way to let customers know this would be the last Moxie Christmas, Morrison said.

Morrison and her sister, manager Courtney Wilson, opened Moxie in 2005, about five years after the home and garden store. They said running a bustling retail business has kept them from spending time with family, traveling and exploring other passions.

“Business has been great,” Wilson said. “Our customers have been awesome. That’s

going to be the hard part.”

The news of Moxie closing saddened Linda Matuszewski of DeKalb, who picked up a few gifts Friday morning for a friend’s 50th birthday. She has shopped Moxie a handful of times a year for the past nine years, she said, always bringing out-of-town friends to the store.

“To me, it’s a one-of-a-kind place,” Matuszewski said.

on Friday. Moxie owner Megan Morrison announced this week she will close the store at 230 E. Lincoln Highway in spring 2015.

Heroin deaths prompt action

Rescuers find oil slick off Jamaica Unresponsive plane headed to Florida before it crashed

By DAVID MCFADDEN and JOAN LOWY The Associated Press

Danielle Guerra – dguerra@shawmedia.com

Brenda Jergens sits in her Malta home recently, holding a picture of her son, Kurt Hudson, who died of a heroin overdose in his upstairs bedroom on Sept. 29. Jergens has organized a vigil for 7 p.m. today at the DeKalb County Courthouse, 133 W. State St., Sycamore.

Mourning mom raises awareness, even as officials eye new approach

By ANDREA AZZO aazzo@shawmedia.com MALTA – Longtime friends Kurt Hudson and Geoffrey Seymore didn’t plan to buy heroin when they went clubbing in Rockford last September.

It was just like old times for the pair, who had known each other for about 13 years and even shared a DeKalb County Jail cell for about eight months, Seymore said.

The pair bought a $10 bag of heroin near the club, ended up in DeKalb and had Hudson’s mother pick them up and drive them back to Malta early on Sept. 29.

“It just happened,” said Seymore, 41, of Rockford. “After some drinks and old times, it just happened. We never left the house with that being the intention.”

Hudson had been released

INSIDE

from Shawnee Correctional Center two days before and had moved in with his mother, Brenda Jergens, in Malta. So the two men – both previous heroin users – headed to Hudson’s room to get high. Heroin gives users an euphoric rush capped with falling asleep when you’ve done “too much,” Seymore said.

Seymore emerged from his high when he heard Hudson snoring, but Hudson, 28, never woke up. Hudson doesn’t normally snore, so Seymore said he began shouting for Jergens, as he knew people overdosing on heroin often snore or have trouble breathing.

Hudson was pronounced dead later that morning at Kishwaukee Hospital in DeKalb, leaving behind a 3-year-old daughter and a grieving mother determined to take action. The official investigation confirmed soon

enough what Seymore and Jergens suspected that night: After a 13-year struggle with substance abuse, Hudson had overdosed on heroin.

“In the back of my mind, I thought this might happen,” Jergens said. “I know in my heart he’s in a better place.

He’s safe now. No more demons. No more drug use.

“It’s coming up on a year now. I miss him a lot.”

Since then, Jergens has been encouraging DeKalb County authorities to increase awareness of the dangers of heroin and to arm police officers with Narcan, a heroin antidote that can revive an overdosing patient.

The problem itself isn’t new. Heroin fatalities, as well as fatal drug overdoses in general, rose in DeKalb County and several of its neighboring

KINGSTON, Jamaica – Shadowed by two U.S. fighter jets, a small plane with its windows frosted and its pilot slumped over flew a ghostly 1,700-mile journey down the Atlantic Coast and beyond Friday before finally crashing in the waters off Jamaica. The fate of the two or more people aboard was not immediately known.

The plane carrying a prominent real estate developer from Rochester, New York, and his wife went down about 14 miles northeast of the coastal town of Port Antonio and Jamaica’s military dispatched two aircraft and a dive team, said Maj. Basil Jarrett of the Jamaican Defense Force.

“An oil slick indicating where the aircraft may have gone down has been spotted in the area where we suspect the crash took place,” Jarrett said at an early evening news conference in the capital of Kingston.

No wreckage has been located, but Jarrett said search-andrescue teams were scouring the waters for any survivors. As dark fell, Jamaica suspended the search until first light this morning. A U.S. Coast Guard cutter is expected to join the search at that time, said Petty Officer Sabrina Laberdesque.

The single-engine turboprop Socata TBM700, which took off from the Greater Rochester International Airport in New York en route to Naples, Florida, was carrying Larry and Jane Glazer, the couple’s son said.

Rick Glazer said his parents were both licensed pilots. He said he couldn’t confirm they were killed, adding that “we know so little.”

Don’t take nude photos We ran a story in last week’s Lifestyle section about having “The Talk” with children, and it occurred to me how things have changed even as they’ve stayed the same.

Then over the Labor Day weekend, when nude photos of celebrities were leaked online, apparently by some sleazy hacker, it became more apparent.

As the father of daughters, I’m not sure exactly how much of “The Talk” I want to be involved in. But there’s some advice in this area that I will give my girls, and to anyone out there.

First of all: Don’t pose nude or take nude photos of yourself unless you’ve decided you don’t care if the world sees you naked. (Well, that’s what I’ll tell you, readers. I’ll tell my daughters, “Never take nude photos of yourself.”)

There’s so many bad things that can happen.

Yes, people might steal them, if you happen to be a very famous person.

But what’s more likely is that you will share them with someone, things will go sour, and the next thing you know, they’re on a website that wants to charge you to remove them. This is called “revenge porn,” and it’s not explicitly illegal in Illinois.

Or the person you’ve sent them to turns out to be a heinous creep who tries to blackmail you.

Or, even worse, everyone at school or your mutual friends have seen it and now you’re mortified.

There are penalties for that sort of thing. Some young people have been charged with child pornography. A fat lot of good that does someone who’s image has already been passed around.

So if you’re not OK with everyone seeing you in the buff, don’t create those images.

You’re being watched: Always assume that when you are online, someone or something is monitoring, tracking or spying on you.

In the digital sphere, you should have no expectation of privacy. There is a federal law aimed at protecting children online – it’s called the COPPA rule and its main thrust is that parents are supposed to consent before any data about children younger than 13 is shared.

Beyond that, it’s pretty much a freefor-all, as far as I can tell.

I guess if I sat down to read the 5,300-word terms and conditions on the Disney website, I would know more. Or the 14,700-word release that you have to

EDITOR’S NOTE Eric Olson agree to in order to use Apple’s iTunes store.

But I don’t have a law degree or several hours to parse this stuff. I just want to download “Partytime” by The Jazz Butcher. I find it simpler to just assume that they’re going to be tracking me, even if it’s to offer me something as benign as a “customized user experience.”

Although, who’s to know if it’s really so benign? Just this week, the Federal Communications Commission fined Verizon $7.4 million for unauthorized use of customers’ data.

Everything about you is worth money to someone, and many very savvy people are working hard to wring every last nickel out of your online identity.

Data brokers like Acxiom are lurking behind the scenes; they’re making millions compiling information about your online purchasing and browsing habits, your location, and so on, and selling it.

Hackers want to steal your sensitive personal and financial information.

Government spy agencies are watching, too, even though their leaders will deny it in the strongest terms before admitting that, yeah, they are. The CIA spied on the U.S. Senate – including reading Senate staffers’ emails – and somehow CIA Director John Brennan still has a job.

This should outrage Americans, but somehow, Brennan still runs the agency. If the Senate isn’t safe, the rest of us certainly are not.

The Internet is so awesome that it’s worth dealing with all the spies and data miners.

People probably realize these people are out there, but the way that we access the Internet or “the cloud” makes us feel anonymous. You can’t see the government spies, the hackers or the information peddlers.

You also can’t see the person you’re calling a moron on social media or in the story comments on Daily-Chronicle. com. Or maybe the person who wants you to send them nude photos.

But they are all out there, and they’re all potentially watching you.

Get these fools: Enough already with

these low-life thieves who are stealing catalytic converters from under people’s vehicles. It’s time someone was locked up.

Since last October, there have been at least three strings of these thefts, which can leave a vehicle disabled or at least in need of several hundred dollars’ worth of repair.

The thieves have worked in the overnight hours and in broad daylight.

They’ve hit parking lots outside apartment complexes and businesses along Sycamore Road, including here at the Daily Chronicle.

The catalytic converter is part of a vehicle’s exhaust system. Typically one thief keeps a look out while another slides under the vehicle and cuts the converter out. The whole operation takes about 5 minutes, police have told us.

Removing the converter leaves the exhaust pipe loose – often if the pipe is left hanging too low, vehicle owners have to call a tow truck or risk doing more damage to their ride. If they hit your car, you’ll know right away – the engine noise will be noticeably louder than normal.

When you mess with someone’s car, you mess with their life in a critical way. Who knows what the vehicle’s owner needs it for next – he might have an important test to take, be heading to work, or his wife might be in labor.

On their Facebook page, DeKalb police have posted a couple of frames from surveillance video that show a man getting out of a Cadillac and later hustling back. The images wouldn’t really work in the paper, but you can check them out online.

If you happen to know who’s doing this, turn them in to DeKalb County Crime Stoppers by calling 815-895-3272 or email crimestoppers@dekalbcounty. org. You can be anonymous and you can receive a cash reward of up to $1,000.

And if you see any suspicious people hanging around the parking lot at your apartment complex, outside a store or at your workplace, call the police.

It’s time someone was busted for doing this.

TODAY’S TALKER

Chicago radio personality Roy Leonard dies at 83 “Literally at the end of the prayer, my dad went. He always knew how to sign off.

His timing was perfect.”

By JASON KEYSER The Associated Press CHICAGO – Longtime Chicago radio and TV personality Roy Leonard, who introduced listeners and viewers to some of America’s biggest celebrities as they were just getting started, has died.

He was 83.

Leonard was well known around the Midwest for his decades of talk radio, celebrity interviews and movie reviews on Chicago’s WGN Radio and TV, where he crafted an improvisational interview style around the art of listening and allowing a conversation to unfold.

“He always read the book before he saw the movie; he did his research, and then he let a conversation happen. He didn’t try to pre-plan everything,” said his son, Kelly Leonard.

Leonard died Thursday night at Evanston Hospital, north of Chicago, surrounded by his six sons, their wives and several of his grandchildren, Kelly Leonard said.

Leonard’s three-decade run at WGN was marked by interviews with an array of entertainers, ranging from the mime Marcel Marceau to Tom Cruise.

He caught many of them as they were just starting out, talking on location with Christopher Reeve about “Superman” and Dustin Hoffman about making “Tootsie” in 1982.

This undated photo provided by WGN-TV shows radio and TV personality Roy Leonard who died Thursday night in Evanston.

Leonard was well known around the Midwest for decades of talk radio, celebrity interviews and movie reviews on Chicago’s WGN Radio and TV. said his family’s dinner table often resembled his dad’s radio show, with discussions of music, politics and culture, and occasional appearances by musicians and other entertainers themselves.

Leonard was born in Redwood, Minnesota. He came from nothing, although he didn’t dwell on growing up poor, Kelly Leonard said.

According to his son, Leonard ran away from home at 16 and ended up on the streets of Boston, where he was taken in by a woman who hired him to walk her dog and helped him through college.

He did some sports play-by-play and landed radio gigs. By 1967, he arrived at WGN, where he was reaching audiences around the Midwest. In 1985, he took over hosting the long-running show “Family Classics,” which aired films on TV. Leonard had been in the hospital for several weeks with respiratory and other health problems, his son said. When it became clear he would soon pass away, Leonard’s family gathered around him, listening to one of his favorite jazz artists, Dave Brubeck, on an iPad and waiting for a priest to give him last rites.

“Literally at the end of the prayer, my dad went,” Kelly Leonard said. “He always knew how to sign off. His timing was perfect.”

BRIEF Woman accused of taking $144 in eye shadow FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – An Arkansas woman whose mug shot shows her in heavy aqua and maroon eye shadow is accused of shoplifting $144 in makeup.

Police in Fayetteville, Arkansas, arrested 31-year-old Brandy Allen, accusing her of stuffing handfuls of eye shadow into her purse Monday.

Officers said that, after being confronted, Allen went on a profanity-laced tirade and tried to damage makeup as she pulled it out of her purse so the items would appear used.

Prosecutors seek texts in Rifkin case

By ANDREA AZZO aazzo@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – A prosecutor wants the former Northern Illinois University police officer accused of sexually assaulting a student to turn over his cellphone with the text messages he says show the encounter was consensual.

DeKalb County Assistant State’s Attorney Jessica Finley wants Andrew Rifkin, 26, of the 3500 block of Meadow Street, Northbrook, to hand over the cellphone he has had since his 2011 arrest to look at text messages between Rifkin and the alleged victim on the

day of the alleged offense and shortly afterward.

Rifkin argues the texts the alleged victim sent to him the day of the incident and shortly after were turned over to NIU police Lt. Jason John, but were never given to prosecutors or the defense.

Rifkin is accused of forcing a sex act on Andrew an NIU student Rifkin in his Cortland apartment October 2011, court records show. Only Rifkin has access to text messages between him and the alleged

victim in the case, unless he has already deleted them, Finley argues in court records.

If Rifkin does not produce his phone, he should not be allowed to argue that the texts – which prosecutors have not seen – are exculpatory evidence, Finley argues in court records.

The text messages show any sexual encounter between Rifkin and the alleged victim were consensual and would, at the very least, impeach the victim’s testimony of the sexual assault, defense attorney Bruce Brandwein said in court records.

Meanwhile, Rifkin is ask-

ing Associate Judge John McAdams to dismiss the sexual assault charge against him as well as to bar NIU police officials who were involved in investigating his case from testifying.

Brandwein filed a motion July 25 asking that John, NIU police Lt. Kartik Ramakrishnan and former NIU police chief Don Grady be barred from testifying. Ramakrishnan put two witness statements exonerating Rifkin in Rifkin’s personnel file rather than his criminal file, court records show. A hearing is set on the matter at 1:30 p.m. Oct. 9.

Grady was placed on paid leave and was eventually fired, NIU officials have said, over the mishandling of evidence in the Rifkin case.

Grady has filed a civil rights lawsuit against NIU claiming he was fired without a fair hearing. That case is pending in federal court.

Meanwhile, Ramakrishnan is on paid leave through Nov. 30 to settle the dispute over his employment status after NIU tried to fire him over this case.

If convicted of criminal sexual assault, Rifkin faces up to 15 years in prison; probation is not an option.

County attorney: No conflict in Oncken’s positions Board member Anthony Cvek questions legality of holding board seat, conflict public defender job

the issue of the conflict of interest,” Oncken said. “Now I can move on with doing the people’s business on the County Board.”

Both Cvek and Oncken are running in separate contested races in the November election to retain their seats.

Oncken, a Sycamore defense attorney, was appointed to the District 3 Republican DeKalb County Board seat in March 2013. About four months later, DeKalb County Presiding Judge Robbin Stuckert appointed Oncken to one of four special public defender

positions. Conflict public defenders, who are paid $24,250 a year and are eligible for county health benefits, handle cases where the public defender’s office would have a conflict of interest.

Cvek, who represents Dis- Riley trict 4, ques- Oncken tioned if it was legal for Oncken to hold both positions based on an unpublished Illinois Attorney General opinion. Cvek also called

House Democrats quietly meeting on Illinois school funding formula The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – A number of top Democratic House lawmakers have been quietly meeting to discuss a proposed overhaul of Illinois’ dated school funding formula, which, if approved, would direct more state money to poorer rural districts at the expense of wealthier suburban districts.

Members of the group told The Associated Press the meetings came at the behest of House Speaker Michael Madigan, whose chamber declined to take up the issue last spring despite its passage by the Senate and widespread calls for the first revamp of the formula in nearly two decades.

“With the specter of additional dollars going away, and that’s a very, very real specter, there has to be a way to allocate money to the districts most in need,” said Rep.

Frank Mautino, Madigan’s point person on budget issues.

“We have to have something in place to make sure the districts with the highest poverty and least available wealth don’t fold.”

Will Davis, chairman of the House Elementary and Secondary Education Appropriations Committee, said at least three of the meetings were held over the summer, and hearings on the issue are planned for after the November election.

Among the roughly dozen lawmakers who have attended the meetings are Majority Leader Barbara Flynn Currie, House Revenue Chairman John Bradley, the two Democratic chairs of House education committees and Mautino.

The involvement of so many high-ranking Democrats suggests the proposal is getting more serious consideration at a time the state faces the loss of billions in revenue from the

DeKalb County State’s Attorney Richard Schmack said the other reason a conflict of interest doesn’t exist is that a judge, not the county, oversees Oncken’s job as a conflict public defender.

“Whether you call it an office or a job,” Schmack said, “what’s important is it’s one the county board does not have control over.”

counties between 2010 and 2012, with no clear regional pattern emerging after that.

Three of DeKalb County’s seven fatal drug overdoses in 2013 were attributed to heroin, with two of the six drug overdoses this year coming from heroin, according to records from DeKalb County Coroner Dennis Miller’s office.

For years, DeKalb County authorities have gone after heroin dealers and those who help them, charging 11 people with drug-induced homicide in connection with heroin deaths since 2010, but now, leaders say they plan to implement heroin awareness and Narcan programs in the next six months or so.

Danielle Guerra – dguerra@shawmedia.com

Cathi McDannel stands in her son David Joshua Edwin Pierce’s bedroom, known to friends and family as Josh, in her Holiday Hills home in McHenry County. Pierce was found on April 30 by authorities dead HUMAN TOLL in DeKalb of a heroin overdose. Since his death, McDannel has helped start the McHenry County Heroin In DeKalb County, young men are most likely to die from Awareness Initiative and manages the Facebook page, “I am Josh P.” heroin overdoses, if history is any indication. Twelve of the 17 fatal heroin overdoses here since 2010 have occurred in men age 35 or younger, according to a Daily Chronicle review of DeKalb County Coroner’s Office records.

One of those was David Joshua Edwin Pierce, known to friends and family as Josh.

Pierce was found April 30 near the Northern Public Radio building at 801 N. First St. in DeKalb, authorities have said.

Pierce’s mother, Cathi McDannel of Holiday Hills, said his substance abuse issues started at age 12, when he was hospitalized for depression after he started huffing canned air.

Pierce’s father was an alcoholic who died in 2012, McDannel said. Pierce himself started drinking when he was in high school and smoked marijuana and huffed gasoline. His first of multiple stints in a treatment center came when he was 18.

McDannel doesn’t know when her son started using heroin. In mid-February, he moved from Holiday Hills to Sycamore with a woman who McDannel had heard was a recovering heroin addict.

“I heard he wanted to help this woman because everyone deserves a second chance,” McDannel said. “That’s the kind of guy he was. He was loving. He was caring. He believed in sec-

ond chances.”

About two months later, a McHenry County Sheriff’s deputy knocked on McDannel’s door to tell her that her son was dead. At first, she was in denial.

Now, she thinks her son’s death could have been prevented if authorities were equipped with Narcan.

“I wish somebody had it fast enough that day,” she said.

Narcan, also known as naloxone, can be injected intravenously or taken by using a nasal spray. A report from Partnership for Drug-Free Kids showed Narcan had a 95 percent success rate for police officers in Quincy, Massachusetts, last year.

For one type of device, the injection should be administered immediately after calling 911 and, if symptoms return, every two to three minutes before medical help arrives, according to MedLinePlus, a service of the National Institute for Health.

Narcan’s possible side effects include heroin withdrawal symptoms, seizures and hallucination.

McDannel also has been involved with awareness efforts since her son’s death. She has two kits of Narcan in her home in case visiting addicts need help. She is a member of the McHenry County Heroin Awareness Initiative and manages the Facebook page, “I am Josh P.” Both groups work

closely with other awareness groups such as Live4Lali and Ja2Soon.

“That’s a blessing to see what we’re doing, it’s working,” McDannel said. “One person at a time, we’re meeting a need our own community has failed to meet.”

OFFICIAL EFFORTS Other Illinois communities already are equipping authorities with Narcan. Announced in February, DuPage County became the first in Illinois to supply first responders with Narcan using funds from the DuPage County Coroner’s Office, the sheriff’s office, County Board and health department.

The health department bought the initial supply of Narcan, said DuPage County Health Department spokesman Dave Hass.

In a community not far from McDannel’s, Crystal Lake police officers were equipped with the drug in May. The program cost Crystal Lake about $1,500 to start, with money they’re using from the department’s asset forfeitures.

Last month, Kane County

the pilot program after attending a roundtable discussion on drug awareness earlier this year with U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren, a Winfield Republican.

“The biggest thing is accessibility to opiate drugs, how cheap they are and what an epidemic it is in DuPage County,” Metzger said. “I knew how bad it was there, and the Chicago news was talking about [overdose] death.”

In addition to preventing heroin overdose deaths, DeKalb police also are expecting to launch an awareness program at the end of the year or early 2015 called Project Hope to dissuade youth from trying heroin to begin with. DeKalb police Chief Gene Lowery said Project Hope would rely on partners for funding, similar to how University Village’s Camp Power was funded.

Project Hope would be available to children in middle school through college. Much of the stigma surrounding heroin has fallen away in recent years, and it is now attractive to younger people because it’s relatively cheap and readily available, Lowery said. Heroin can be injected, snorted or smoked.

“As a police officer, we try to get the right message at the right time to the right audience,” Lowery said. “In that message, we hope to convey some fragment of information that gets to them ... to make the right choice.”

started to train first responders to administer a nasal spray of Narcan to heroin users who are overdosing, Kane County Undersheriff Pat Gengler said. Kane County officers are working with the Kane County Health Department to have all officers patrol with Narcan in their vehicles within the month, Gengler said.

“With the unfortunate increase of heroin in the area and overdoses, especially in rural areas, it just came together,” Gengler said. “A lot of times, police are beating the fire department [to a scene]. It’s a matter of minutes sometimes with these things.”

Meanwhile, DeKalb County Board Chairman Jeff Metzger, R-Sandwich, has been working with local police agencies for about five months to launch a pilot Narcan program here.

Under the program, all first responders in larger agencies, including the DeKalb, Sycamore and Northern Illinois University police, would be trained to administer the drug. Metzger STRUGGLES WITH ADDICTION Seymore understands the said they are still working on dangers of heroin all too well. funding sources.

Metzger wanted to launch He said he has overdosed three

times and said he will probably be addicted for the rest of his life. Seymore’s landscaping job and three children keep him busy and distracted.

Since Hudson’s death, Seymore said he has tried to stay clean. He began using heroin in 2008 or 2009 when a friend introduced him to methadone, a narcotic pain reliever. When his friend died about five months later, Seymore would hitchhike or hop trains to Chicago to buy heroin because he heard it would not make you feel sick the way methadone did.

“It’s not hard to find,” Seymore said. “You step on the corner. They can see you. They can tell you’re not from that area.

They know what you’re doing. ... Sometimes there’ll be a line [of cars] like you’re going to McDonald’s.”

Occasionally, Seymore gets phone calls from old friends who are struggling with heroin addiction, which he said can be a trigger.

“They always want to talk about the past, like the one time when we did this or that,” Seymore said. “That’s when you say, ‘OK bye. See you later.’ I tell them I’ve got to do laundry or go to work.”

A MOTHER’S UNDERTAKING Jergens said she tried her best to raise her son, who she described as a jokester who made friends easily. Even when Hudson became an adult, Jergens obtained legal guardianship of him and wrote letters to judges when Hudson got into legal trouble.

Jergens has organized a vigil at 7 p.m. today at the DeKalb County Courthouse, 133 W. State St., Sycamore. Speakers include Presiding Judge Robbin Stuckert, DeKalb County Sheriff’s Chief Deputy Gary Dumdie and Metzger.

Jergens’ goal is to spread awareness of heroin abuse, in hopes of helping even just one person.

“It’s a passion. It’s a part of my healing process,” she said.

“Instead of dwelling on the loss of my son, it’s helped me to get through it.”

Colleges re-thinking campus sexual assault education BALTIMORE – As freshmen descend on college campuses, they enter the “red zone” – a period between Labor Day and Thanksgiving during which they are most vulnerable to sexual assault.

This year is different, though. It is the first since the U.S. Department of Education released a list of colleges and universities under federal investigation for their handling of rape and sexual assault complaints, and many schools are making sexual assault awareness programs mandatory for incoming students.

The list, which includes 77 schools under investigation, was released in May. It represents one piece of a national conversation that gained unprecedented political momentum in April, when the newly minted White House Task Force to Prevent Students from Sexual Assault released its first report, alongside a website designed to advise colleges

Your Community Connection.

on how to combat rape on campus. Since then, Sen. Claire McCaskill, a Missouri Democrat, has introduced a bill to require annual surveys of students, and require schools to staff confidential advisers on campus.

Oklahoma State University, which is on the list, announced last month that students who do not complete a new 40-minute online course on sexual assault awareness will be barred from registration. Vice President for Student Affairs Lee Bird said the school took the unusual step of asking to be under federal review.

“Sexual violence has been a huge topic for years, but the politics around it and trying to find remedies is what’s changed,” Bird said, adding that the school offers “hundreds” of alcohol, drug and sexual assault awareness programs throughout the year.

“This has been an issue for my 36 years and I imagine it will be an issue on campus for the next 30.”

University of California at

Berkeley, which is under investigation, has started two new mandatory programs.

Freshmen and transfers must attend a sexual awareness program known as Bear Pact, as well as complete an online course, called Haven, about sexual assault, harassment and stalking. The school has also designated a confidential advocate whose role is to assist students who have been sexually assaulted.

While the U.S. Education Department doesn’t release what prompts an investigation, UC Berkeley was the subject of a blistering state audit in June that revealed the school’s failure to adequately train resident advisers, athletic coaches and campus law enforcement on how to handle sexual assault allegations.

The audit also found that the administration did not ensure attendance at sexual assault education workshops for freshmen. Based on the school’s own data, only 52 percent of the incoming class attended the programs in 2013.

WASHINGTON – A surprising drop in hiring and in the number of people seeking work in August sent a reminder that the U.S. economic recovery is still prone to temporary slowdowns.

Employers added just 142,000 jobs last month, well below the 212,000 average of the previous 12 months. The unemployment rate fell to 6.1 percent from 6.2 percent. But that was because more people without jobs stopped looking for one and were no longer counted as unemployed.

Analysts took Friday’s Labor Department report in stride.

They noted that other gauges of the economy – from manufacturing and construction to auto sales – remain solid. Layoffs have dwindled, too. Analysts also noted that month-tomonth volatility in hiring is common even in a healthy economy.

But the dip in hiring also suggests that, although the Great Recession officially ended more than five years ago, the economy has yet to shed some of

Ukraine cease-fire begins, but U.S. remains skeptical

By NATALIYA VASILYEVA and PETER LEONARD The Associated Press MINSK, Belarus – Ukraine, Russia and the Kremlin-backed separatists signed a cease-fire deal Friday after five months of bloodshed, and Europe readied additional sanctions on Moscow. NATO leaders created a new force designed to prevent any aggression by Russia against alliance members.

Gunfire and shelling appeared to fall silent across eastern Ukraine shortly after the appointed hour, to the relief of war-weary residents. But the U.S. voiced skepticism that the rebels and Russia would stop violating Ukrainian sovereignty.

Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said he ordered his forces to halt hostilities at 6 p.m. after the deal was signed in Minsk, the Belarusian capital, by all three sides and a representative of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. Separatist leaders also said they ordered their forces to hold their fire.

Poroshenko said the ceasefire was based on an agreement reached during a “long conversation” with Russian President Vladimir Putin and would be watched over by international monitors from the OSCE. The negotiators also agreed on the withdrawal of all heavy weaponry, the release of all prisoners and the delivery of humanitarian aid to devastat-

Alexander Zakharchenko (from left), the leader of pro-Russian rebels in Donetsk, Russian Ambassador to Ukraine Mikhail Zurabov and Igor Plotnitsky, the leader of pro-Russian rebels in the Luhansk region, meet with the media Friday in Minsk, Belarus, after talks on a ceasefire in Ukraine came to a close. ed cities in eastern Ukraine, Heidi Tagliavini of the OSCE told reporters in Minsk.

Mikhail Zurabov, the Russian ambassador to Ukraine who also signed the deal, described the exchange of lists of more than 1,000 prisoners from each side as a “breakthrough.”

Poroshenko said a prisoner exchange could begin as early as Saturday.

Putin’s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, said the Kremlin welcomes the signing and hopes that all sides will fulfill the agreements and continue the negotiation process “for the full settlement of the crisis in Ukraine,” the Interfax news agency reported.

U.S. President Barack Obama said he was hopeful the cease-fire would hold but skeptical that the rebels would

follow through and that Russia would stop violating Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

“It has to be tested,” Obama said at the close of a two-day NATO summit in Wales.

Noting that the U.S. and Europe were finalizing even tougher sanctions on Moscow, Obama said the most effective way to ensure the cease-fire’s success was to move ahead with those measures in hopes of keeping up the pressure on Russia.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel said “if certain processes get underway, we are prepared to suspend sanctions” against Russia. “We have to see whether this ceasefire is being applied. Do Russian troops withdraw, so far as they’re there?” she said.

Floods, landslides kill at least 14 in Kashmir SRINAGAR, India – Authorities said the worst flooding in 22 years has killed at least 14 people in the Indian-controlled portion of Kashmir.

Police officer Imtiyaz Hussain said the victims were swept away by floodwaters or buried by mud from mountain slopes since Wednesday. They included a paramilitary officer whose bunker collapsed on him.

Hussain said Thursday that soldiers and rescue workers used boats to move thousands of people to higher ground. At least 100 villages across the Kashmir valley were flooded by overflowing lakes and rivers, including the Jhelum river, which was up to 4 feet above its danger level.

Landslides are common in India during the monsoon season, which runs from June through September.

2 F-16 fighter jets followed plane Morrison not planning to sell business What it means • MOXIE until it reached Cuban airspace Continued from page A1

• PLANE Continued from page A1 development firm Buckingham Properties. He owned the high-performance plane he was flying and was president of the TBM Owners and Pilots Association.

Public officials who knew the Glazers issued condolences centered on their role helping revitalize Rochester.

“The Glazers were innovative and generous people who were committed to revitalizing downtown Rochester and making the city they loved a better place for all,” said Gov. Andrew Cuomo. “I offer my deepest condolences to the Glazers’ family and friends during this difficult and trying time.”

The plane took off at 8:45 a.m. and air traffic controllers

were last able to contact the pilot at 10 a.m., the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement. The agency said it had not confirmed the number of people aboard.

At 10:40 a.m., two F-16 fighter jets were scrambled from a National Guard base in South Carolina to investigate, according to a statement by the North American Aerospace Defense Command. Those jets handed off monitoring duties around 11:30 a.m. to two F-15 fighters from Homestead Air Reserve Base in Florida.

The U.S. jets followed the plane until it reached Cuban airspace, when they peeled off, said Preston Schlachter, a spokesman for North American Aerospace Defense Command & US Northern Command.

Cuba media said Friday night that a Coast Guard C-130

followed the private plane through Cuban airspace in coordination with Cuban authorities, a surprising degree of cooperation between the longtime foes. An announcement on state TV said the U.S. asked for permission for the Coast Guard overflight.

The small plane finally came down after flying more than 1,700 miles.

On a recording made by LiveATC, a website that monitors and posts air traffic control audio recordings, the pilot can be heard saying, “We need to descend down to about 18,000 feet. We have an indication that’s not correct in the plane.” A controller replied, “Stand by.”

U.S. fighter pilots observed the Socata’s pilot slumped over before the turboprop’s windows became frosted over, Schlachter said.

next spring, Morrison plans to have sold most of the inventory, including displays.

But Morrison’s not open to selling the business. It’s an extension of her personality, she said, which means selling the business to someone else would change Moxie entirely.

“I can’t possibly sell it,” Morrison said. “Moxie is me.

I bought every item in the store.”

She will decide whether to rent or sell the 10,000-squarefoot building next spring when she has a better idea of the real estate climate. If the space the former Megan Morrison store occupied across the street,

Moxie’s closing sale will start sometime between February and March 2015. Until then, customers can expect new items and shopping parties near the holidays.

Owner Megan Morrison will provide updates through the store’s Facebook page.

which has been for sale since 2011, is not sold by next spring, she will rent it.

“We will not be putting empty buildings around downtown,” Morrison said.

Matt Duffy hopes a new business will fill the large store in the center of downtown.

The executive director of the DeKalb Chamber of Commerce

said he doesn’t have concerns that other downtown businesses will suffer, although Duffy knows a new business might not have Moxie’s following.

“I think it’s a guessing game,” Duffy said about what impact Moxie closing will have. “They’ve been a staple downtown.”

The impact Moxie has on other downtown DeKalb businesses is clear to Fran Montez, who owns Decades, a consignment shop at 235 E. Lincoln Highway. She called the store – fueled by Morrison’s following – an anchor for downtown.

“When they would have their parties, I would go in and joke with them,” Montez said.

“I would say, ‘You paid my electric bill. You just paid my gas bill.’ ”

Resisting Islamic State’s demand for submission The Islamic State and other advocates of Shariah law are growing rapidly, along with their zeal to eradicate or convert all “infidels.”

For those who are asleep at the wheel, in the opinion of these fanatics, most of Western civilization – including America – fits into the infidel category.

I normally encourage conversation and compromise where possible, but how does one negotiate or compromise with someone who desires your elimination? Maybe if you meet some of their demands, they will only dismember you or kill you more slowly.

Obviously, the expansion of groups like the Islamic State represents an existential threat to our own nation and our way of life. If ever there was a time to work together for self-preservation, it is now.

There really is no time to squabble about who was right and who was wrong regarding our activities in the Middle East. Our enemies will use every opportunity to divide us and distract us, which will make their job of destroying us much easier.

In order to prevail in the war on terror, we must have an overall strategy, the goal of which is annihilation of the terrorists, as opposed to simply winning battles with

VIEWS Ben S. Carson them here and there. This means paying much more attention to military preparedness, both offensive and defensive.

That means significantly increasing our covert operations. It means cultivating strong and trusting relationships with our allies. It means helping other countries in the region to realize that they, too, will soon be targets of the Islamic State.

When it comes to the elimination of those trying to destroy us, we have to be smart enough to realize that we must have airtight borders to prevent easy access for terrorists.

Some say this is too difficult. I guarantee that it is easier than trying to rebuild a nation that has been destroyed because we thought logical defense was too hard.

There is no question that unpleasantness brought about by our own forces will be necessary to accomplish our goals and defeat terrorism, but you cannot win a politically correct war.

Our enemies’ desire to establish a

caliphate is no joke. Their convert-ordie doctrine parallels some of the social philosophies enforced by the political correctness police in this country. Either you must accept their interpretation of what is moral and correct or the name-calling starts, and they attempt to destroy your business or your reputation.

We despise the Islamic State, but do not see the same ugliness in our own tactics.

The truth hurts, and it is much easier to ignore it or try to demonize its bearer.

Unless integrity, courage and common sense result in the ability to honestly examine our own hypocrisy, we will lose the war of ideas and identity, and the land of the free will become a distant memory.

I’ve been privileged to get to know some incredibly smart and talented military leaders, as well as covert operators and innovative engineers. I am confident that with our talent and faith, not only can we win this war, but we can show the world a better way.

Thumbs-up: To thoughtful retirement plans. Megan Morrison announced this week that she plans to close Moxie, a popular downtown DeKalb destination at 230 E. Lincoln Highway, in the spring. The store has been there for 10 years, merging about five years ago with her other downtown business, Megan Morrison Home and Garden. The home and garden building is sitting empty, listed for sale, and although Morrison hasn’t decided whether to sell or rent the Moxie location, she has promised she won’t let two downtown storefronts sit empty with for sale signs on them. She also has promised customers one more season of Christmas specials and parties, and a closing sale that will start in February or March.

Thumbs-down: To the continued inertia of the property owned by developer Shodeen that was once billed as the “NB&T Square” near downtown DeKalb.

The initial plans called for a mixed-use development with six commercial buildings with apartments above.

The most recent scheme, studied at a cost to the city of almost $20,000 before ultimately being rejected as not financially feasible, was for a hotel and convention center at the site. As Shodeen and city officials continue to work on the problem – including how much the city will contribute to make something happen – the property will continue to be a collection of vacant lots and empty buildings.

Thumbs-up: To paying a good deed forward. About 25 years ago, an acquaintance helped Dan Paulsen out of a tough spot by repairing his car for free. Now Paulsen, manager of DeKalb Sycamore Collision Center, is finally in a position to do the same for someone else. The collision center is covering the cost of repairs to the vehicle of an unemployed woman who got into a car accident insurance wouldn’t cover. Hopefully, she will pay it forward when the opportunity arises.

Thumbs-down: To a fresh crop of unfunded mandates for public schools from Springfield. This year, there are 24 new requirements ranging from training students to use defibrillators to practicing emergency evacuations. The 24 new requirements are slightly less than the roughly 27 a year that schools have received from Springfield. More than one in three of the new state mandates costs schools money, and some of them – such as requiring school districts to allow miniature horses as service animals and that all flags flown at schools be made in the U.S. – are off-the-wall. Too bad legislators can’t spend less time making new rules for schools and more time figuring out fair and adequate ways to fund them.

Thumbs-up: To finishing the Wally Thurow tribute statue in time for Pumpkin Fest. The Wally Thurow Tribute Committee met its fund-raising goal of $65,000 a few weeks ago to create the life-sized likeness of Thurow, who began displaying pumpkins in his lawn in 1956 and worked with the Lions Club to create the first festival in 1962. The statue truly represents a community effort, and we’re sure many will be excited to see a bronze Thurow donning a top hat and holding his high-wheeled penny farthing bicycle. Well done.

ANOTHER VIEW

Common Core antidote to dumbed-down education There is nothing sacred about Common Core, the educational standards that are attracting renewed criticism as the school year begins. The standards, which are intended to ensure that students graduate from high school prepared to do college-level work, were not handed down from the heavens on stone tablets. They are a major improvement over previous standards in most states, but they remain a work in progress.

The nation’s governors developed Common Core in response to concerns the dumbing down of standards in some places had left students at the middle and back of the pack on international tests.

The governors did not, as is often thought, devise a national curriculum, which remains the province of states and local school districts. Whatever textbooks or pedagogical methods districts choose to use is their business, so long as students master the skills required.

More than 40 states remain committed to Common Core. A handful have adopted cosmetic tweaks or cut their ties with the consortium that develops tests geared to the standards. That is their right, which helps put the lie to the argument that Common Core is a federal takeover of public education, which Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, a possible Republican presidential contender in 2016, is now making in federal court.

After unsuccessfully trying to withdraw Louisiana from Common Core over the objections of his hand-selected superintendent of education, Jindal is now suing the Obama administration, claiming it forced the new benchmarks upon the states. That’s a creative legal argument, since Jindal himself enthusiastically and voluntarily signed up for Common Core in 2010.

Jindal is unlikely to succeed in court, and that’s good news for schoolchildren in Louisiana, which ranks 48th out of 50 states in educational achievement.

Education remains the domain of the states. But if they want federal education money, they have to raise their standards and start sending more kids to college who are actually ready to do the work.

“Yes because we want to prove ourselves and it is kind of a battle of the state, so we want to put our name out there and prove that we are the best team,” he said.

NIU’s first against either the Wildcats or Fighting Illini.

NIU is 0-4 against Illinois and 0-6-1 against the Wildcats.

However, who knows when the Huskies get their next shot against either team after today’s game is completed.

PREP FOOTBALL: DEKALB 54, WEST CHICAGO 20

Opener vs. Bills must-win contest What exactly are the Bears walking into in their 2014 season opener Sunday at Soldier Field against the Buffalo Bills?

For starters it’s a game they must win.

What’s that I say, a mustwin on the opening Sunday of the season?

In general manager Phil Emery’s own words, the Bears have been built to contend for a championship this year.

Coach Marc Trestman was given high marks in his first season in spite of taking over a 10-6 ballclub and leading them to an 8-8 finish.

A loss to the battling Bickersons – coming off a 6-10 campaign of their own – in the home opener would minimally send the wrong message to everyone connected to the Bears.

Worse than that, the Bears follow Buffalo with five of seven on the road, including trips to San Francisco, the N.Y. Jets, Carolina, Atlanta and New England and one of their home opponents is the Packers who have fared quite well of late at Soldier Field.

4-4 at the halfway point would leave the Bears playoff hopes in pretty good shape, and even 3-5 probably manageable.

But with a loss to Buffalo, where are those three or four wins?

In case you don’t get the Bickersons reference, the Bills have been reported to be a franchise in disarray.

It is well known the Wilson family is lame duck ownership as the team is for sale with a deal expected shortly.

A situation that always leaves top management less than comfortable.

It wouldn’t be surprising if team president Russ Brandon, general manager Doug Whaley and coach Doug Marrone are all spending more time looking over their shoulders than they are at their players, playbooks and game plans.

A report by CBS’ Jason La Canfora on the Friday before the opener alleges a pier six verbal brawl took place between Marrone, Whaley and Marrone recently on the

By EDDIE CARIFIO ecarifio@shawmedia.com Train tracks run right behind Memorial Stadium in West Chicago.

And while those tracks were quiet most of the night Friday, Dre Brown did a pretty good impression of a freight train on the field.

Brown ran for 216 yards and five touchdowns as the Barbs beat the Wildcats 5420.

“Dre is Dre,” DeKalb coach Matt Weckler said of

the Illinois-bound Brown, who carried the ball 23 times.

“When you have a guy like that you are going to give him the ball. He makes us that much better. He’d make any team a good football team.”

The Barbs (2-0) built up a 28-0 lead before the Wildcats (1-1) got on the scoreboard with 6:37 left in the second quarter. The teams traded touchdowns on the next three possessions until Rudy Lopez came up with his second interception of West Chicago

Brown only played one possession of the second half, carrying for no gain.

The Barbs scored on their first three possessions.

Genoa-Kingston senior Joe Murray (44) breaks free from a tackle following a handoff from quarterback Griffin McNeal during the first half of the Cogs matchup Friday at Byron.

BYRON – Before the Genoa-Kingston offense could take the field, the Cogs trailed Byron by 13 points and the first quarter was nearly over.

Thanks to a strong Tigers running game that led to a score on their very first possession, and a G-K fumble on the ensuing kickoff which led to another score, Byron was in command early.

The Tigers would never trail in a 35-20 victory.

“When you get behind the eight-ball like that, against an offense that can control the

“You could see, that second half, we were trying to fight back into it. When they’re getting 20-play drives, 18-play drives, you just have to hope you get a fumble, a turnover

to get you some momentum built.”

Byron (1-1) Avery Carlson got the scoring started with a 5-yard touchdown run, and Carlson put Byron up 13 after a touchdown run following the fumble. The Tigers would execute a clever onside kick after the score, though G-K caught a break of its own after recovering a Tigers fumble.

Cogs (0-2) quarterback Griffin McNeal would go on to get his team on the board with a 5-yard run to close the gap to 13-8, but that was all G-K would get in the first half.

Byron ended the half on a Payton Janssen touchdown.

SPORTS BRIEFS Keselowski wins pole at Richmond RICHMOND, Va. – Brad Keselowski couldn’t have been happier with the way his Friday unfolded at Richmond International Raceway.

Keselowski ran a lap at 126.618 mph to win the pole for the NASCAR Sprint Cup race Saturday night and said he has set his sights on breaking a five-way tie for the series victory lead to gain an advantage in NASCAR’s playoffs.

Gordon was a distant second at 126.039 mph, followed

by Johnson, his Hendrick Motorsports teammate, at 125.898.

Kevin Harvick was fourth, and Logano five.

The sixth-best qualifier – and first of the 17 drivers with a chance to win his way into the Chase for the championship – was Clint Bowyer, who also happens to consider the 0.75-mile oval his best track.

The 16-driver field for the Chase for the championship will be finalized after the race.

Diamondbacks fire GM Kevin Towers PHOENIX – The Arizona Diamondbacks have fired general manager Kevin Towers in the midst of a third straight disappointing season.

Towers became Arizona’s general manager in 2010 and put together a roster that won 94 games and the NL West in 2011.

The Diamondbacks have backpedaled since then, finishing .500 the past two seasons and struggling this year despite having the highest payroll in franchise history.

Plagued by injuries, Arizona lost 22 of its first 30 games and was 59-81 through Thursday’s games.

Towers’ firing comes four months after the Diamondbacks hired Hall of Fame manager Tony La Russa as chief operating officer.

The game was suspended by rain with one out in the top of the seventh inning. The teams were tied at 3 when a storm rolled through the area. With more rain in the forecast, the game was called after a delay of 1 hour, 52 minutes. The game will resume their game this afternoon before the regularly scheduled matchup.

INDIANS 2, WHITE SOX 1 (10 INNINGS)

Indians squeak past White Sox The ASSOCIATED PRESS CLEVELAND – Pinch-hitter David Murphy, activated from the disabled list before the game, drove in the winning run with a bases-loaded single in the 10th inning and the Cleveland Indians defeated the White Sox 2-1 Friday night.

Murphy, who pulled a right oblique muscle Aug. 9, lined a 1-2 pitch to center off Ronald Belisario to score pinch-runner Chris Dickerson and give the Indians their 11th walkoff win of the season.

Yan Gomes started the in-

ning with a triple to left off Maikel Cleto (0-1). Michael Taylor crashed into the wall trying to make the catch and the ball rolled several feet away.

Shortstop Leury Garcia finally retrieved the ball and threw it in as Gomes slid into third.

Michael Bourn was inten-

tionally walked before Eric Surkamp issued an intentional walk to Lonnie Chisenhall that loaded the bases. Surkamp battled back from a 3-1 count to strike out Jason Kipnis before Murphy, batting for Roberto Perez, delivered.

C.C. Lee (1-1) worked out of a bases-loaded, one-out jam in the 10th.

The Indians, coming off a series in which they lost three of four against Detroit, are six games behind Kansas City in the AL Central.

Sox ace Chris Sale allowed one run in six innings, lowering

his league-best ERA to 2.09.

Indians rookie T.J. House matched Sale, giving up one run and striking out seven in seven innings.

Carlos Santana’s RBI single in the first gave Cleveland the lead, but Alexei Ramirez’s third-inning homer tied the game.

Ramirez left the game after being hit on the left foot by a pitch from House in the fifth inning.

Jose Abreu extended his hitting streak to 14 games with a first-inning single. He added a two-out triple in the third.

Both teams must answer multiple questions • ARKUSH Continued from page B1 practice field with all three swearing at each other within earshot of the full team.

If accurate, how’s that for a pregame warmup?

Have Bills players been affected in the same way coaching and management appears to be by its current limbo?

Or could it be a positive that will cause them to circle the wagons and go with the old all for one and one for all mantra?

Buffalo is a ballclub with a young quarterback who

appears to at best still be a work in progress, a great pair of running backs, two exciting young wide receivers who have yet to establish themselves and some strengths and a few big question marks on the offensive line.

Defensively, Buffalo boasts one of the best four-man front defensive lines in the NFL and a back seven ravaged by injury at linebacker and free agency defection in the secondary.

They do have one of the NFL’s premier returners in Leodis McKelvin who will challenge the Bears shaky coverage units.

Still, if the Bears are actual

playoff contenders, this is a game they have to win.

They do win if their offensive line can play the Bills’ three Pro Bowlers up front, Mario Williams, Marcel Dareus and Kyle Williams to a draw, and if their all new defensive line is a huge improvement over last year.

Buffalo left tackle Cordy Glenn is pretty good, and center Eric Wood is one of the best.

The right guard and right tackle, Erik Pears and rookie Seantrel Henderson, are question marks, and at left guard for the Bills you will find Chris Williams.

Yes, that Chris Williams.

You should know by now the Bills were second in the NFL running the football last year, and I know you know the Bears were dead last stopping it.

There’s your ballgame.

The Bears are not better at linebacker or in the secondary.

I guess it’s appropriate with such dramatic change for the Bears that Week 1 will be decided by the Bears’ defensive line.

Are they as good as advertised? They better be good enough.

Peng Shuai drops to her knees in pain Friday during the semifinals of the 2014 U.S. Open tennis tournament against Caroline Wozniacki n New York. Peng left the court in a wheelchair and forfeited the game to Wozniacki.

Injured Peng stops, forfeits to Wozniacki

By HOWARD FENDRICH The Associated Press NEW YORK – Overcome by heat and humidity in the second set of her U.S. Open semifinal, China’s Shuai Peng paused between points to clutch at her left thigh and put her weight on her racket as if it were a cane.

Still, she tried to continue Friday against Caroline Wozniacki.

One point later, Peng dropped her racket and grabbed at her right knee, then staggered toward the wall behind the baseline and leaned against it, wiping away tears, until a trainer ran to her side.

Others arrived, too: a doctor, the chair umpire, a tournament official, a security guard, a ballkid with an umbrella to offer shelter from the sun.

Fighting pain in both legs and her back, a limping Peng was helped over to a hallway adjacent to the court, where it was determined she had heat illness and needed treatment.

In all, it was a 10-minute delay, which Wozniacki used to practice serving. Yet again, Peng tried to play on. She stuck it out for six more points, before collapsing to the ground, resting on her hands and knees as Wozniacki walked around the net to check on her. Peng stopped while trailing 7-6 (1), 4-3, allowing Denmark’s Wozniacki to reach her second Grand Slam final.

At a news conference more than four hours later, Peng said she was feeling better. She was not sure whether, in the end, she was the one who said she had to retire or was told to (although tournament director David Brewer said it was Peng’s decision).

Peng, who is 28, did recall how she reacted when the doctor suggested it might be a good idea to quit.

“I said, ‘No, no, no. I don’t want to give up. I want to try one more time,’ ” said Peng, who was playing in her first semifinal in 37 majors.

PREP FOOTBALL: KANELAND 49, MARSHALL 6

Knights’ offense clicks in victory

By TRAVIS ZUELLIG sports@kcchronicle.com MAPLE PARK – After the Kaneland football team struggled with turnovers in its week one win over Brooks, the Knights were looking to show that they can click on all cylinders on offense.

Despite sporadic rain throughout Friday’s game, junior quarterback Jake Marczuk completed 20-of-26 passes for 221 yards and four touchdowns, and his favorite target, Connor Fedderly, caught 10 passes for 123 yards and a touchdown to lead the Knights to a 49-6 rout over Marshall.

“We played really well as a team, and it all starts with the offensive line,” said Marczuk said. “I had great protection in the pocket. I have quick receivers going all over the place. I just have to hit them and really, after the catch, it is all them.”

Kaneland coach Tom Fedderly said his squad played well dealing with the weather.

“We spread it around and try to get it to a lot of guys in space,” Fedderly said. “It

doesn’t matter what elements we play in. If we play late in the year, we are going to have to play in this stuff.”

The Knights opened last week’s game with three straight fumbles. Against Marshall Friday, Kaneland scored a touchdown on four of the Knights five possessions of the first half. Marczuk threw touchdown passes to Tyler Paulson, Kevin Fuchs and Fedderly. Marczuk also ran one if for a score.

“Our offense did a lot better this week after four turnovers last week. So, we are really happy with it,” Fedderly said.

“I do the easy part. The line blocks and Jake throws and I just make the catches.”

On the other side of the ball, the Kaneland defense had no problem stopping the Commandoes. Marshall’s only score came on the first play on the second quarter.

The Knights held Marshall to 92 totals yards. The dominating Kaneland defense has only allowed 14 points in two games.

“We only gave up six points,” Fedderly said. “Our defense has been lights out this year so far.”

Defense helped turn back Chicago West • BARBS Continued from page B1 overthrew Rudy Lopez on a slant and was intercepted, but two plays later Lopez intercepted Seidler.

“To be honest with you they did a very good job throwing the ball, so we had to use [Lopez] a little bit more than we probably would have normally,” Weckler said “He can get up and get it and matchup with the taller receivers they have. So yeah, he stepped in

and had a pretty good game for us. That’s what we need to be a good football team, some kids to step up like that.”

Seidler started slow, completing just one of his first 11 passes for 29 yards. He heated up in the second quarter, throwing two touchdown passes. He finished 16 for 39 with 248 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions.

Backup quarterback Ethan Conroy and backup running back Zuerek Day added rushing touchdowns in the fourth quarter.

Daily Chronicle sports editor Eddie Carifio and sports reporter Steve Nitz spend their days covering the area’s sports scene. Occasionally, they give their viewpoints on those local sports. In this installment of their Take 2 column, they discuss the inconsistencey when scheduleing other in-state FBS programs ahead of today’s game, which kicks off at 2:30 p.m. at Northwestern.

Nitz: Eddie, this afternoon, Northern Illinois fans will witness the Huskies take on Northwestern for the first time in nine years. It will also be the first time since 2010 NIU has played one of its instate Big Ten opponents. The Huskies suffered a close loss at Illinois that season.

Should these matchups be more of an annual thing?

Carifio: I find it very strange this doesn’t happen

TAKE 2 Eddie Carifio and Steve Nitz face off more often. In other states I’ve lived in – Texas, Florida, even Arizona – the schools always play one another even if they are not in the same conference, or even level.

Northern Arizona University regularly plays either Arizona or Arizona State.

Bethune-Cookman and Florida A&M are regulars on the schedules of Florida, Florida State and Miami. And Texas, well, I think that goes without saying.

I think, in general, the big schools tend to duck the mid-majors. Illinois and Northwestern don’t gain much from playing NIU, just like as we saw recently that

the Huskies don’t gain much by playing Eastern Illinois and the like.

That said, if Northwestern – or any midmajor – can’t beat a midmajor, their season wasn’t going to be anything anyway. Play the game. Put some butts in the seats. Stir up some rivalry.

What makes this matchup even more interesting is that it is very hard to call. A mid-level Big 10 team versus one of the best the MAC has to offer. Not exactly David vs.

Goliath, but still a challenge.

Nitz: I understand why Northwestern doesn’t play NIU. What do the Wildcats have to gain? If they win,

people will say, ‘Oh well, you beat a MAC team.’ If they lose, it’s looked at as an upset (though it wouldn’t be too much of one here). The same goes for the team down in Champaign.

However, Colorado has no problem playing Colorado State every season, East Carolina played N.C. State last season. South Florida hosted Miami in 2013 and plays at Florida State next year.

Hopefully in the future we’ll see more Huskies-Wildcats and Huskies-Illini matchups. They’re great for the players and fans – and NIU is going to bring a lot more people to the game than your average mid-major.

Carifio: With only three FBS football programs, it is a shame they don’t play more. just as it’s a shame there are four FCS programs, but NIU schedules Presbyterian. I guess it’s a two-way street

5 storylines 1. Matt McIntosh’s play The Northern Illinois junior quarterback split time with Drew Hare and Anthony Maddie in the Week 1 win over Presbyterian, getting three series.

Earlier this week, NIU head coach Rod Carey announced that McIntosh is the guy, naming him the starter for Northwestern.

He faces a big test in the first real action of his collegiate career.

2. Turnovers Always key when going up against a Big Ten team. If the Huskies take care of the ball, they’ll have a shot in the fourth quarter.

Get a few takeaways, and they’re in good shape. Who can forget Jimmie Ward’s huge fourth-quarter interception at Iowa last year?

3. The running game It’s pretty clear that NIU will be relying on its tailbacks more this season. Akeem Daniels and Joel Bouagnon should see the bulk of

tor Jay Niemann prefers to avoid blitzing as much as possible, so their play will be a big factor.

4. Pressure, pressure, pressure Everything starts with the front 5. The crowd four, which brings in four new Northwestern is a small private starters. NIU defensive coordinaschool that doesn’t really draw

well. There are thousands of NIU alums in the Chicagoland area.

How many of them will be at Ryan Field?

NIU has gained confidence against Big Ten • HUSKIES Continued from page B1 “Yeah, we’ve talked about that before. I think as soon as you start doing that, then where do you draw the line on everything? Is there a line now that you don’t play the FCS schools and you do play the FBS schools? Do you just play it all no matter what? I

think strength of schedule comes into play when you talk about doing that under the new format that we’re in now,” Carey said. “I think there’s a lot that goes into that other than me just sitting up here and saying yeah I’d like to play them all the time. There’s a lot more discussion that has to go into that.”

When it comes to going up against the Big Ten, NIU has been no slouch against the league recently, as the Huskies beat both Iowa and Purdue last season.

Will that success carry over?

“A little bit, I guess we’re a little more confident knowing that we’ve gone into two Big Ten teams in the past

year and came out with wins, but at the same time you still have to do the work during the week, you still have to put in the film time, the practice time and the vibe is just to go over there and take care of business,” senior linebacker Michael Santacaterina said.

“That’s the vibe every week and we’re just expecting to win a football game.”

“Yeah, we’ve talked about [scheduling state schools] before. I think as soon as you start doing that, then where do you draw the line on everything? Is there a line now that you don’t play the FCS schools and you do play the FBS schools? Do you just play it all no matter what?”

Mix and match styles this season

A

By KIM COOK

The Associated Press

re you a fan of midcentury modern?

Drawn to classic elegance? Does the handcraft of global décor grab you?

There was an era when experts said to pick just one, but now we can mix and match or go all in. Each season brings updated versions of successful pieces, plus an interesting array of new looks.

This fall’s no exception.

“Keep an eye out for versatile accent pieces, the kind that can work in a myriad of places, and consider material and color combinations,” says Beth Kushnick, set decorator for CBS’ “The Good Wife.” “These are some of the easiest ways to refresh any space, and there’s a ton of stylish options out right now at a range of price points.”

After her sophisticated sets drew an online following, Kushnick has created her own furnishings line, which debuts this fall.

She says fall 2014 is about finding pieces that provide maximum impact without a lot of effort.

Some themes this season:

TOUCH OF FALL

“Look for texture-rich accessories – like a box with stone inlay or a wooden sculpture – that add an element of nature to your space. Mix in a variety of metals to add a sense of luxury,” Kushnick advises.

Says Los Angeles-based designer Trip Haenisch: “I’m seeing a lot of fabrics with luxe textures this season. Linen velvets and woven fabrics are really in. You can quickly and inexpensively incorporate texture into your space through the use of pillows and throws.” (www.triphaenisch.com) At fall previews, retailers were showing soft throws shot through with metallic threads or embroidered with subtle sequins. Rose gold is the ingénue on the metallics stage; its soft, pink-tinged finish looks new, and you’ll see it on

tabletop accessories, lamps, even silverware.

Warm brass continues to play a big role, trimming tables, embedded in wooden trays, formed into curvy or linear vases and lamps.

It picks up the midcentury vibe but suits traditional spaces too.

Chrome and acrylic hit contemporary high notes.

On ceramics, you’ll find reactive and dip glazes, and more matte finishes than ever before.

Mercury glass, a décor darling for the past few seasons, gets a few tweaks with etched patterns and added color.

LIGHT IT UP High-end lighting design has found its way into the mid-range market, which means pricier styles at mass-market retailers.

Look for shades with crisp geometrics, nubby textures and crewel-work patterns to update lamps for not much money. (www. target.com) Pierced metal is showing up in many accents, including lighting.

Milky glass pendants look country-modern. You’ll also find mattefinish shades with foil interiors that catch light dramatically; Ikea has table and floor lamps with coppery lining. (www.ikea.com) A tapered table lamp like the Melrose from Crate & Barrel provides midcentury flair. (www. crateandbarrel.com) Conical, brushed-aluminum sconces and pendants have space-age style.

And for a luxe look, think about acrylic and crystal lamps. (www. rejuvenation.com) Chandeliers get freshly interpreted at Restoration Hardware. A rustic iron Foucaults orb encircles an ornate crystal fixture; tiny ball chains veil the crystals like the fringe on a flapper’s dress. (www. restorationhardware.com)

COLOR CORNER Play with color, Kushnick urges.

“There are some gorgeous grays and subtle greens out this fall, and 2014’s radiant orchid and coral add a lush pop almost anywhere,” she says. “You can make a

big splash just by updating a wall color or bringing in a few vibrant accent pieces.”

You’ll also see carrot, purple, lemongrass, ocher, clove, molasses and olive in throw pillows, bedding and upholstery. Homegoods has a butterscotch leather ottoman, a pretty pink side chair, and a pea-green accent table in its fall collections. (www.homegoods. com)

PATTERN PLAY Ombre, tile, ziggurat, cinquefoil and filigree patterns grace lampshades, rugs and drapery.

Naïve woodland motifs and ‘70sera kitchen prints dress wall art and napery. The newest geometrics and traditional prints are overscale.

Responding to the midcentury trend, Ethan Allen has released a collection of Modern Art Master lithographs, including ones by Chagall, Miro, Matisse and Calder. (www.ethanallen.com) Kushnick is enjoying wallpaper’s comeback. “The new temporary wallpapers are a great option for apartment dwellers,” she says.

Chasing Papers has hip versions of geometrics, animal prints and florals. (www.chasingpapers. com) And big, bold geometrics highlight Tampa-based designer Given Campbell’s Andover collection. (www.givencampbell.com)

STYLE SIGNPOSTS After a few seasons in a supporting role, midcentury modern takes the lead this fall and winter. Accent chairs are armless or lower-profile, and furniture has either a California-chic or Danishmodern vibe.

New York furniture studio Miles & May has a collection of dressers and cabinets at West Elm in walnut veneer, and that finish is also on the Grasshopper office desk. (www.westelm.com) Upholstered furniture gets its shirt tucked in. No more slouchy, sloppy slipcovers – the newest pieces tend toward trim and tight, but in comfier, softer fabrics.

We’re seeing a lot of side and coffee tables with metal legs. West

Elm’s Waldorf coffee table is a slim rosewood slab perched on skinny brass legs. Cyan Designs’ Portman end tables are lacy, lasercut iron drums.

You’ll see faceted pieces across the accessory spectrum, in mirrors, containers and trays.

Pop culture from the ‘70s and ‘80s shows up in vibrant retroprint pillows, furniture and accents. Check out Jonathan Adler’s sherbet-hued Brigitte chair and Holli Zollinger’s upbeat woven rugs for Deny Designs. (www. jonathanadler.com ; www.denydesigns.com) Global tribal motifs maintain a powerful presence, with India, the Americas and Africa strongly represented. World Market’s got a collection of well-priced round, carved tribal tables. (www.worldmarket.com) In bedding, drapery, rug and upholstery fabrics, look for more new woodblock, paisley and medallion prints.

Ikat, kantha print and medallions grace textile collections at Pottery Barn, and there are Mexican tile print ceramics there too. (www.potterybarn.com) Accessories like carved animals, woven art, sculpted paper and ceramic vases, and ironwork and glass items draw from distant cultures.

Vintage-style globes, steamer trunks, map art and travel advertising continue to interest home decorators. There’s herringbone, tweed, plaid, Fair Isle knit patterns and lots of new takes on faux fur – Nordic and Danish designs in textiles as well as kitchen and dining items.

The rustic romantic look also has staying power, with outdoorsy pursuits informing everything from art to dishware. Native American motifs have graphic style; DGoods crafts a trio of wood nesting tables with a design reminiscent of a Navajo blanket. (www. purehome.com) Look for feathers, camper vans, arrows, foxes and trees, and expect this look to be represented in holiday décor as well.

FAMILY TIME | Making your child’s birthday extra special

Tip of the week A birthday is a big day for any child, and especially for kids 3 to 6. Yet busy parents can find it challenging to come up with creative ways to make a child’s birthday truly special.

The challenge, however, is that with more two-income families, increase in single parent households, and busier work and school schedules, finding the time and the creativity to make kids’ birthdays extra special is difficult.

“There are many fun and easy ways to make your child feel extra special on

their birthday. It is amazing how these little touches can make such big and lasting impressions,” says Tish Dahlby, the author of “Pinklejinx.” Here are some simple ideas to help your child feel special.

• Start the celebration early. While the child is sleeping, sneak into the bedroom and decorate with balloons and streamers. Cover the floor or stuff the closet with balloons. Form a trail of confetti that leads from the bedroom to the breakfast table.

• Provide surprise birthday wishes throughout the house. Hide birthday wishes in unexpected places. Using soap, craft a birthday greeting on the bathroom mirror, the kitchen window or the rear window of the car.

• Involve the whole family. If there are siblings or other relatives in the house, have them wait on the birthday child. Even the family pet could wear a special birthday hat.

• Create a festive environment fit for royalty. Consider dining at the fancy table in a room reserved just for

PRAIRIE FLOWERS Somonauk Summer Recreation thank-you To the Editor: Somonauk Summer Recreation is pleased to announce the completion of one project and the onset of a second project.

We have worked hard this past year in attempts to improve the facilities of and for our community. This year, the old gym roof was repaired in order to prevent water leakage and damage and new access paths were added to both varsity baseball fields. The baseball field’s path has been completely finished with asphalt and the softball field’s path has a complete gravel path with some of the finishing asphalt coverage.

We have plans to finish the softball path in 2015.

These projects could not have been approached if not for the truly charitable attitude of numerous organizations and businesses. The funding came in various forms as Somonauk Rec wrote grants on their behalf as well as for the high school, had the second annual “Wheel O Meat” fundraiser, held their own raffle (thanks to the families of SSR), received a huge donation from the Nighthawks football program, and received sizable discounts from the three businesses that did the work.

DeKalb County Community Foundation once again stepped up in a huge way as they awarded grants to SSR ($2,500) and the high school ($9,000) as well as Walmart of Plano awarding a $1,000 grant to SSR. The businesses involved in these projects were Olsson Roofing of Aurora, Royer Asphalt Paving of Dekalb and our own Midwest Dirt Works.

In all, SSR gathered in excess of $30,000 to contribute toward the improvements for our village and will continue to work for our kids and community. We cannot thank all these contributors enough and will continue to show our great appreciation in any way we can.

Donations received were in excess of $11,000. We are overwhelmed with the generosity of others.

These contributions will be added to the Scholarship Fund that was formed in memory of our very beloved daughter, sister, granddaughter and dearest friend of many, Abby Rose Schirmer who passed away April 10, 2005. Abby was known for her fun-loving and kind personality. The Schirmer family will be awarding scholarships at the 2015 Sycamore High School Awards Night next spring.

Thanks for helping Kid’s Pull in the Park To the Editor: The Somonauk Education Foundation would like to thank the following sponsors of our Kid’s Pull in the Park during Summer Fest: Heartland Bank, Arends Hogan Walker, Stacey Dolder-DeKalb Seed, and the Kendall County Farm Bureau Young Leaders. There were 36 kids who enjoyed competing for trophies.

Each participant received a goody bag and a ribbon for participating.

SEF also would like to thank the Illini State Pullers, the sled driver, and the auctioneer, Matt Hart, for a very successful Calcutta during the evening pulls.

A special thank-you goes out to the numerous bidders on the trucks who help make it possible for the SEF to continue to award scholarships to graduating seniors and to award mini grants to the Somonauk schools. The Calcutta and the Dinner/Auction on Nov. 15 are SEF’s two main fundraisers for the year.

special occasions. There you can pull out all the stops to make your child feel like a real prince or princess.

• Celebrate loud and clear. If possible, find a way to celebrate the exact moment of the child’s birth with lots of hoopla - perhaps blow some horns or bang the pots.

• Break the routine. This is a day unlike any other, so don’t follow the same routine. Get creative with the food you serve, its color and how you serve it. Instead of making the child wait to open presents, start the day by opening at least one very special present.

• Communicate what’s special about your child. This is the time for letting your feelings show. Take turns going around the table and let everyone in the family give one reason why the birthday child is special.

• Lunchbox surprise. Pack school lunches as normal but take a few extra minutes to wrap the birthday child’s sandwich in gift wrap. Imagine your child’s smile as he or she unwraps the most special sandwich at

the lunch table.

• Start a new tradition. Make this birthday so special that your little ones will already be counting down the days until the next birthday. Consider doing the same thing every year.

September a good time to start compost pile

By BARBARA LINDHOLM University of Illinois Extension Master Gardener DeKalb County Fall is beginning. September is a good time to start a compost pile as grass clippings, fall leaves and annual and perennial debris will be available this month.

HOW DOES YOUR GARDEN GROW? roses this month but do not apply winter protection until the ground has frozen.

Woody plant care

Annual and perennial care

September is the month to plant new trees and shrubs. If you are planting evergreens, you need to plant before Oct. 1. Evergreens lose moisture through their needles, so it is important to give them adequate water to avoid winter burn and dessicated needles.

Before transplanting trees and shrubs, wait until leaves have dropped or changed to fall color. Moving trees and shrubs too early can cause transplant shock.

Continue to dead head

Annual containers can be refreshed in September. This is a good time to introduce cool season favorites such as pansies, mums and ornamental kale and cabbage to give your containers a great fall look.

Pink, red, purple, blue and white fall asters can be an attractive addition to your fall garden. Depending on type, they grow from the 2-foot bush type to the 3- to 5-foot New England asters.

Wait to cut back perennials until their leaves and stems

Lawn care If you have bare patches in your lawn, early this month is the correct time to seed with an appropriate grass seed mix.

Core-aeration can be done this month either by the homeowner or by a professional service.

It is finally time to fertilize your lawn, and September is the perfect time to fertilize as cool nights and adequate rainfall will make grass grow well. Fertilize with a 3-1-2 or 4-1-2 ratio fertilizer.

will be producing their crop on the top half of their canes.

After harvest, prune out the top half of the canes.

Early pumpkins can be harvested now, but full-sized pumpkins need to remain on the vines to achieve maximum size.

Herbs may still be cut to use fresh, to dry or to freeze.

September tip September is often a sad time for gardeners as the outdoor growing season is coming to a close. However, there are several ways to continue gardening during the late fall and winter months.

Cuttings from favorite

annuals such as impatiens, coleus, begonias and geraniums can be moved indoors, potted up and placed in a south-facing window.

If you have houseplants that have been outside for the summer, they can be gradually introduced to indoor conditions.

Thyme, basil, oregano and rosemary are examples of herbs that can be repotted and brought inside for a winter herb garden. Again, gradually introduce herbs to the indoors and place them in a sunny window.

A great winter project and one of the very best ways to prepare for next season is to

grow seeds over the winter months. Watch for an informative September feature article on basic seed-growing techniques written by master gardener Ron Johnson.

Rivers remembered as comic trailblazer

By SANDY COHEN The Associated Press LOS ANGELES – On “The Ed Sullivan Show” in 1967, Joan Rivers joked about society’s double-standard for women.

“A girl, you’re 30 years old, you’re not married, you’re an old maid,” she said. “A man, he’s 90 years old, he’s not married, he’s a catch.”

At the time, it was rare to see a female comic onstage, and even rarer for an entertainer to talk frankly about AP photo being a woman.

A few years later, on “The Comedian Joan Rivers performs at the MGM in Las Vegas in this 1975 photo. Rivers, the raucous, acid-tongued comedian, crashed the Carol Burnett Show,” Rivers male-dominated realm of late-night talk shows and turned Hollywood boasted about wearing a pushup bra, laughed about the lack red carpets into danger zones for badly dressed celebrities.

appropriate attire for work, school and other places that used to call for more formal attire.

“Yoga pants have replaced jeans in my wardrobe,” said Anita Ramaswamy, a Scottsdale, Arizona high-school senior who is buying more leggings and yoga pants than jeans. “You can make it as sexy as skinny jeans, and it’s more comfortable.”

The jeans business isn’t dead: Customer Growth Partners, a retail consultancy, estimates denim accounts for 20 percent of annual sales at the nation’s department stores.

But sales of jeans in the U.S. fell 6 percent to $16 billion during the year that ended in June, according to market research firm NPD Group, while sales of yoga pants and other “active wear” climbed 7 percent to $33.6 billion.

Wayans and Wanda Sykes are among those who consider Rivers a hero.

“Thank you Joan for paving the way for broads like me,” Sykes wrote on Twitter.

No topic was too taboo for Rivers, thus opening the door for Sarah Silverman to crack about racism and Margaret Cho to tell X-rated jokes and look cute while doing it.

“Every woman in comedy is indebted to her,” Amy Poehler said in a statement.

Rivers broke gender barriers because she was funny, fearless and persistent.

She loved fashion and looking glamorous onstage. She was open about her desire to be married and the pressure

Jim and Betty (Craigmile) Olson 50th Wedding Anniversary

Denim declining while more turn to yoga wear NEW YORK (AP) – Americans’ obsession with jeans is beginning to wear thin.

Jeans long have been a go-to staple in closets across the country. After all, not many pieces of clothing are so comfortable they can be worn daily, yet versatile enough to be dressed up or down.

But sales of the iconic blues fell 6 percent during the past year after decades of almost steady growth. The decline is being driven by women, but men’s interest in jeans also is fading. Why? People more often are sporting yoga pants, leggings, sweatpants and other athletic wear instead of traditional denim.

The shift is partly due to a lack of new designs since brightly colored skinny jeans were a hit a couple of years back. It’s also a reflection of changing views about what’s

of sex in long marriages and blatantly said men like second wives better.

Rivers, who died Thursday at 81, was a trailblazer for all comics, but especially for women. Among those who lauded Rivers for paving the way for female comedians was David Letterman, who called her “a real pioneer for other women looking for careers in stand-up comedy” in his monologue Thursday.

“And talk about guts – she would come out here and sit in this chair and say some things that were unbelievable ... The force of her comedy was overpowering.”

Ellen DeGeneres, Kathy Griffin, Louis CK, Marlon

on women to be both pretty and smart.

Like her comic peers at the time – George Carlin, Woody Allen, Richard Pryor, Rodney Dangerfield and Bill Cosby – Rivers found comedy in her own life and its challenges.

But while those men quickly went mainstream, Rivers’ road to fame was longer.

“I was the last one in the group to break through,” she wrote in the Hollywood Reporter in 2012. “Looking back, I think it was because I was a woman.”

Her breakthrough came on “The Tonight Show” with Johnny Carson, who told her on the air, “You’re gonna be a star.”

Lindsay Sutton and Jeff Krehl Engagement

Don and Sherry Krehl of DeKalb, announce the engagement of their son, Jeff Krehl, to Lindsay Sutton, daughter of Rochelle and the late Richard Sauer of Chandler, Arizona.

The future bride is a graduate of Chandler High School (1995) and attended the Art Institute of Phoenix and Colorado Technical University.

She is employed in customer service and purchasing at Landsberg ORORA Company in Tempe, Arizona.

Jim and Betty (Craigmile) Olson were married on September 13, 1964 at the Waterman United Methodist Church. The couple have 2 sons: Greg (Nancy) Olson of Sycamore and Brad (Debbie) Olson of LaCrosse, Wisconsin. They have 5 grandchildren: Morgan and Ashley Olson of Sycamore and Makayla, Max and Jack of LaCrosse, Wisconsin.

A 50th Wedding Anniversary Open House is planned for Saturday, September 13, 2014 from 2:00pm to 4:00pm at the Waterman United Methodist Church, 210 West Garfield Street, Waterman, IL 60556.

No gifts please, your presence will be gift to them.

The groom to be is a graduate of Malta High School (1994), and received his Bachelor’s degree (1999) and Master’s degree (2001) both from Northern Illinois University. He is employed as a Marriage and Family Therapist at Children and Adult Psychological Services in Chandler, Arizona.

The couple will be married September 13, 2014, in Williams, Arizona.

The couple resides in Chandler, Arizona.

PEOPLE BRIEFS Keillor to undergo medical procedure; cancels show ST. PAUL, Minn. – Garrison Keillor, host of public radio’s popular “A Prairie Home Companion,” says he’s canceling an upcoming show to undergo a medical procedure.

Keillor didn’t specify the procedure but says: “I now know more about the prostate than I ever wanted to.”

The 72-year-old humorist and best-selling author says the procedure is set for Sept. 25, so he’s canceling a Sept. 27 show at the Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul. But he says the season opener, street dance and meatloaf supper is still set for Sept. 20.

In his signature dry humor, Keillor released a statement saying he’s found an excellent surgeon, and is looking forward to “thinking more about truth and beauty and less about plumbing.”

“A Prairie Home Companion” celebrated its 40th anniversary this summer.

Toronto Film Festival holds ‘Bill Murray Day’ TORONTO – The Toronto Film Festival has turned its second day into a very welcome new holiday: “Bill Murray Day.” So was dubbed Friday in Toronto, where three of Murray’s classics – “Stripes,” ‘’Groundhog Day” and “Ghostbusters” – were to screen ahead of the premiere of Murray’s latest, the next-door-neighbor comedy “St. Vincent.”

Murray maniacs arrived outfitted in costumes of beloved Murray characters, from his ocean explorer Steve Zissou to his Army cadet from “Stripes.”

Ivan Reitman, director of “Stripes” and “Ghostbusters,” was on hand to introduce each film, and Murray was to host several Q&As. Though Bill Murray Day was planned to last 24 hours, many were hoping it would – like “Groundhog Day” – reset Saturday. Fans are warned to be on the lookout for Ned Ryerson.

SUDOKU

Man longs for thrill of brand-new romance Dear Abby: I’m in desperate need of help. I have been with my girlfriend for four years. With every long-term relationship, there are bound to be issues. I haven’t felt loved by her in a long time, and I think I have fallen out of love with her. I can’t even tell her that I love her anymore because I don’t want to lie.

When we make love, it’s dull and boring. I want to feel the way I used to about her. When I was near her, my hairs used to stand up, my heart would race, my body would quiver and I would never want to let her go. How can I feel that way about her again? – Wants That Old Feeling Dear Wants: The problem with relationships is that they can only be brand-new once.

With the passage of time, to some extent the excitement fades. That’s where the “work” comes in.

Longtime couples must make an effort to keep their relationship fresh and exciting. This means introducing spontaneity and new experiences to each other.

You say you haven’t felt loved by her in a long time.

My advice would be to talk to her about it. Because you can’t bring yourself to tell her you love her, has it occurred to you that she might feel as

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips though she has been emotionally abandoned by you?

If you want that old feeling back, you and your lady will need to resume communication on a meaningful level.

It’s not always easy, but honesty can revive a relationship that’s wilting.

Dear Abby: I live with my longtime boyfriend in a house he owns. We’re five hours away from my parents and siblings and the town in which I grew up. It’s a beautiful house with lots of land, and I can imagine raising a family here. However, I always thought that if I had children, I’d live close to the rest of my family. I would want my parents nearby so they could lend a hand, and I want my kids to have a close relationship with their grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins.

My boyfriend is open to the idea of selling the house, but I’m not sure I would want him to. What should I do? I love this house, but how can I start a family so far from my own? – Looking Ahead in New Jersey Dear Looking Ahead: Before

you make any decisions, discuss this with your parents and see if their vision of grandparenthood is similar to your fantasy. Take into consideration how close they are to your siblings and how involved they are in each other’s lives. Be sure that the kind of extended family relationship you envision is realistic.

If everyone is on board, then you and your boyfriend should talk about what relocating will mean in terms of not only selling this house, but also the impact it might have on your ability to earn a living. This property may be terrific, but if it cannot offer you the lifestyle you wish for, then you would be better served to move. But only you can decide that.

Dear Abby: Twenty-three years ago my husband and I lost our firstborn son. As my husband was active duty military, we could have buried him anywhere in the United States. At the time, we were in a place where my sister swore to me she would always live, and she would always be there to take care of him.

I knew with my husband’s career we had many more moves ahead of us, and it helped to ease the loss knowing that he would be taken care of.

Well, that lasted all of three years. My husband and I are now at a point where we have settled down and we know where we should have buried our precious angel, instead of trusting my sister.

We want to have him exhumed, cremated and placed in a veterans cemetery, but my question is this: Do I have the right to ask my sister to pay part of the costs as she “broke” her promise to help care for my son? – Heartbroken Mother Dear Heartbroken: Please accept my sympathy for the loss of your son. While it’s clear that there are many hurt feelings about what happened after his original interment, I think it’s time to forgive your sister.

It’s a fact of life that sometimes unforeseen circumstances prevent people with the best of intentions from keeping promises they make. Forgive her if you can, but don’t ask her for money.

She may owe you an apology, but she does not owe you any money.

Dear Abby: I’m very close to my family. We visit each other’s homes often. But for the past year or so, something has begun to bother me. It’s cellphone chargers.

Whether people come for a week or just for dinner, out

come the chargers! The kids all start plugging in their cellphones and tablets, and the adults follow suit with their cellphones and laptops.

I started asking around and it’s not just happening to me. A lot of my friends have the same gripe. Lamps, toasters, pencil sharpeners – you name it – their cords are left dangling long after the guests have departed. After the last weekend, I installed a power strip in the TV room and will direct the traffic there in the future.

Would you please let people know how rude this is?

– Unplugged in Salem, New York Dear Unplugged: While the power strip you installed is the practical solution, the problem is that the people you have described are thoughtless. Polite guests leave their host’s home in the same condition it was in when the guests arrived.

In this instance, it means being considerate enough to plug in any appliances that the guests unplugged, so the host doesn’t have to wonder why the darned thing isn’t working after everyone has departed.

Strategies to reduce embarrassing belching Dear Dr. K: I burp constantly.

What can I do to stop it?

Dear Reader: Occasional burping usually results when foods produce gas during the digestive process and that gas escapes through your mouth.

But if you’re burping frequently, it is almost certainly the result of swallowing air.

Many people swallow air when they breathe or speak without even realizing it.

You can probably reduce your belching by making lifestyle changes to decrease the amount of air you swallow. For example, don’t drink through a straw or chew gum.

If you smoke, quit. Getting properly fitted dentures can help too, since loose dentures can also cause you to swallow air.

ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff One relatively common cause of burping and belching is lactose intolerance. Lactose is a type of sugar found in dairy products. Many people, particularly of African or Asian background, have low levels of lactase, an enzyme that digests lactose. As a result, not all of the lactose can be digested. Burping and belching result, along with diarrhea and passing gas. If you think you may have lactose intolerance, talk to your doctor and see if reducing dairy products improves your symptoms.

If you don’t think you’ve got lactose intolerance, try making some other changes to your diet. For example, avoid carbonated drinks and whipped desserts, both of which trigger burping. On the other hand, some people include brown rice, barley broth, papaya and pineapple in their diets to reduce their belching. I’m not sure there is scientific evidence of the benefits of such remedies, but some of my patients swear by them. And, in any event, these are all healthy foods.

Whatever you eat, make sure to chew foods slowly.

Avoid washing food down with liquids. And try to eat smaller meals.

Take a brisk stroll after eating. Physical activ-

ity encourages food to move through your digestive tract, and it helps relieve bloating and discomfort. Sleep on your stomach or right side. These positions aid in the escape of gas and ease the feeling of fullness.

If belching remains a problem, talk to your doctor. He or she will probably ask about habits I’ve already mentioned, such as drinking carbonated beverages and chewing gum.

Your doctor may also ask about lactose intolerance or other conditions that may cause excess gas.

Your doctor will also want to know about anxiety and psychological problems, since they can contribute to gastrointestinal symptoms. He or she will review your medica-

tions. Some drugs – especially those that contain the sugar alcohol sorbitol – can produce gas and bloating.

Your doctor may also refer you to a speech and swallow therapist. This professional can help you modify the way you swallow so that you take in less air. If lifestyle changes aren’t effective, a musclerelaxant drug can help.

Burping and belching may not be a life-threatening problem, but it sure is embarrassing. And I’ve had patients become less socially active because of this embarrassment.

I hope the advice I’ve given leads to a solution for you.
