Moody’s gives DeKalb negative outlook Credit-rating firm has issues with city’s above-average debt and pension payouts

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN bkeeperman@shawmedia.com DeKALB – The city’s pension obligations, declining assessed property values and reliance on state funding could mean a lowered credit rating in the future, Moody’s Investors Service said.

Moody’s, a worldwide credit-rating agency that provides research and analysis

for investors, has assigned a negative outlook to the city’s general obligation rating.

DeKalb’s rating stands at Aa2. If lowered, it could mean the city would pay higher interest rates when it borrows money. Factors Moody’s took into account include diversification of the city’s tax base, debt and pension burdens and reserves.

Key challenges the city

faces include above-average debt and pension payouts and dropping equalized assessed property values, the rating agency said. Strengths listed included the presence of Northern Illinois University and DeKalb’s ability to raise revenue broadly, because of its home-rule status.

The city has $31.9 million worth of general obliga-

tion debts, which includes bonds that paid for part of the DeKalb library expansion project, the new police station, and tax-increment financing district obligations, city Finance Director Cathy Haley said.

In 2010, the city issued $10.8 million in bonds to refinance 2008 and 2009 TIF bond anticipation notes, as well as finance downtown improve-

ments and other TIF projects, according to city documents.

In 2012, the city issued $9.9 million in bonds to build the police station and borrowed $2.3 million more in 2013 to complete it.

Haley said that the city’s rating of Aa2 was decent, but the city could make some improvements.

“If we want to fund pensions higher, we could cer-

tainly do that,” she said.

“As far as the tax base, City Council could increase the property tax rate to increase revenue to the general fund, if they chose.”

Moody’s rated the city’s pension obligations heavier than usual, which is part of why the new outlook is negative, Haley said.

SYCAMORE’S 54TH ANNUAL PUMPKIN FESTIVAL

By JULIE PACE The Associated Press

Costumed children eagerly await a slice of cake Wednesday during the opening day of the 2015 Pumpkin Festival in Sycamore.

Great gourds ‘Pumpkins in Disguise’ crowd courthouse lawn

By KATIE SMITH ksmith@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – No person or pumpkin was what they seemed Wednesday at the kickoff of Sycamore’s 54th annual Pumpkin Festival.

Well over 1,000 people crowded downtown Sycamore to celebrate this year’s festival theme of “Pumpkins in Disguise” with a cake-cutting ceremony and downtown trick-or-treating.

Sitting on the concrete dressed as an soldier and Princess Elsa from Disney’s “Frozen”, cousins Aiden Perez-Cano, 5, and Lilyanna Perez, 6, marveled at their baskets of free candy and the hundreds of pumpkins laid out before them.

“I made a scary Halloween guy,” Perez-Cano said.

Pumpkins were sorted into one of 10 categories – each of which will have first-, second- and third-place winners named today, Sycamore Lions Club President Ryan Genz said.

“The creativity in all of them – it’s so much,” Genz said. “Just the pure number and the effort put in, it’s hard to put them in first or third [place] because there’s so much ef-

Some of the carved ones are phenomenal, how they’ll carve them and then put something in the middle of them.”

The pumpkins will be on display on the DeKalb County Courthouse lawn through Sunday.

Linda VanBuren and her family spent about a month planning their entry, which featured 10 gourds painted and glued to represent each

member of four generations of the family.

“We started off and said we wanted to have our pumpkins that had masks on it and then we just sat there and brainstormed, ‘Well, what about a masquerade ball?’ “ Sandy Foord of Sycamore said.

“And then we all decided that we’d all make our own.”

Each “family member” wore a

hand-cut mask and costume, on a dance floor that was draped with Christmas lights.

“Back in the day when Wally had a little pumpkin up here, we were here for our free hot dog, and our pop and our pumpkin pie,” VanBuren said.

Weston Hooker, 5, took a simpler approach. The pint-sized Darth Vader stayed near his pumpkin, painted to match his own costume, while he spun and swung at imaginary enemies with his light saber. “[Darth Vader] is cool because he has a cool mask,” Hooker said as his own mask began to breathe heavily like the Star Wars character’s.

For many Sycamore children, Pumpkin Fest provides a second Halloween and twice as much candy to look forward to each year, Genz said.

“Look at this. It’s just covered in painted pumpkins and there’s trick-or-treating downtown,” he said. “Every kid’s here or knows about it if they can’t be here. It’s huge.”

And it’s only gotten bigger over the years.

WASHINGTON – After months of tortured indecision, Vice President Joe Biden said Wednesday he won’t be a candidate in the 2016 White House campaign, solidifying Hillary Rodham Clinton’s status as the Democratic front-runner and the party’s likely heir to President Barack Obama’s legacy.

Standing under bright sun in the White House Rose Garden, Biden spoke movingly about mourning the recent death of his son, Beau, a process he said does not match the political calendar. While he said his family was emotionally prepared to undertake a grueling presidential campaign, they arrived at that decision too late for him to mount a credible bid for a job that has long been the north star of his political ambitions.

“Unfortunately, I believe we’re out of time,” said Biden, flanked by his wife, Jill, and the president.

Biden’s decision puts to rest the uncertainty hanging over the Democratic primary. The race now will likely settle into a two-person contest between Clinton and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who has energized the party’s liberal base but lacks Clinton’s campaign infrastructure and support from party leaders.

Biden was seen by some Democrats as an ideal blend of Clinton’s establishment credentials and Sanders’ populist appeal.

Interest in his potential candidacy was fueled both by an outpouring of affection after his son succumbed to cancer in May and the persistent questions about Clinton’s viability, particularly amid revelations about her controversial email use at the State Department.

However, Clinton appeared to calm nervous supporters with a commanding performance in last week’s first Democratic debate. What was already a narrow path to the presidency for Biden appeared to get even smaller.

In a written statement Wednesday, Clinton praised Biden’s “unyielding faith in America’s promise” and said she expected he would “always be on the front lines, always fighting for all of us.” The two spoke by phone shortly after the vice president concluded his remarks.

Ohio finalizing defense of Wright brothers

By JULIE CARR SMYTH The Associated Press COLUMBUS, Ohio – Ohio is ready to deliver its formal comeback to Connecticut’s claim that another aviator beat the Wright brothers as first in flight, defending what one witness described Wednesday as “a marketing brand of enormous value.”

A resolution repudiating Connecticut’s claim cleared its final committee hurdle Wednesday. Senate passage was expected and its sponsor said the third state in the Wright fight – North Carolina – was supportive. The Wrights were born in Ohio and took their first flight off Kitty Hawk, North Carolina,

in 1903.

The Ohio measure responds to a 2013 Connecticut law honoring aviator Gustave Whitehead as flying in 1901, two years ahead of Dayton residents Orville and Wilbur Wright.

“I heard Connecticut was also laying claim to Sasqatch and the Loch Ness monster,” Ohio state Sen. Bill Coley quipped as the resolution cleared his committee.

The dispute over the historical aviators has escalated in recent years, launching documentation fights among aviation experts, defenses of the Wrights citing the scholarship of major institutions such as the National Air & Space Museum and publica-

tion this summer of a 432-page book laying out the case of Whitehead’s claim.

“We are an educated people who deserve to know the truth, to know what actually happened, rather than a glorified fairy tale,” author Susan Brinchman wrote in releasing the book.

Amanda Wright Lane, the great-grand-niece of the Wright brothers, made a repeat trip to the Ohio Statehouse on Wednesday to support her relatives’ legacy. She told an Ohio Senate committee ahead of the first flight resolution’s unanimous approval that their 12-second flight “changed our nation and our world and, frankly, our relationship with the universe

forever.”

Lane said her uncles meticulously recorded their research and accomplishments, in writing and on camera, and their claim to flying the first powered, heavier-than-air machine is unquestionable.

She said their flight is represented in the “iconic photo” of the Wright flyer, “journals of data, letters, testimony, patent applications, more photos and published research.”

Connecticut Sen. Kevin Kelly has continued to defend his state’s law. He has said as the Ohio resolution progresses that he believes lawmakers in both states “owe history the courtesy” of determining who was first.

House Freedom Caucus says it supports Ryan

By ERICA WERNER The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The hardline House Freedom Caucus said Wednesday it is supporting Rep. Paul Ryan for speaker of the House, all but guaranteeing he’ll get the job, and potentially heralding a new start for a deeply divided House GOP. The group of around three dozen rebellious conservatives, who have caused fits for the GOP leadership, stressed that their support for Ryan was not an official endorsement because they couldn’t muster the 80 percent agreement such an announcement would require. Yet members of the rebellious group made clear that their intent was to unite behind Ryan and give him the consensus he has said he needs to seek the speakership.

“A supermajority of the House Freedom Caucus has voted to support Paul Ryan’s bid to become the next speaker of the House,” the group said in a statement. “Paul is a policy entrepreneur who has developed conservative reforms dealing with a wide variety of subjects, and he has promised to be an ideas-focused speaker who will advance limited government principles and devolve power to the membership.”

Support from the group was not certain since they’ve repeatedly opposed GOP leaders and pushed the current speaker, John Boehner, to announce his resignation. And their backing fell short of the official endorsement Ryan had sought.

But in a statement, the former GOP vice presidential candidate said: “I’m grateful for the support of a supermajority of the House Freedom Caucus. I look forward to hearing from the other two caucus-

Especially given the Freedom Caucus’ pattern of causing headaches for leadership, and the concerns raised by individual members ahead of Wednesday night’s meeting, the decision to announce support was significant. It amounted to a rare peace offering from hardliners in the caucus to the establishment-minded lawmakers they’ve battled for years, and a chance to unite a party at war with itself on Capitol Hill and the presidential campaign trail.

Rep. Raul Labrador, R-Idaho, said the choice was now up to Ryan, who must decide “whether he wants to really lead the conference.”

“I think he’s a good man,” said Labrador, who said he voted for Ryan in the Freedom Conference meeting. “I think he’s that somebody who could bring the Republican Party together, he’s obviously a good spokesman for the party. And I think he needs to see if this is good enough for him and if he can work with us.”

Caucus members, including Rep. Matt Salmon of Ari-

zona, said Ryan now appears to have more than enough support to prevail in a secret-ballot House GOP election set for Oct. 28, and in a vote of the full House the next day.

“He has a supermajority of the Freedom Caucus, which means that he clearly has more than enough votes from the conference, if other people vote in kind, to get elected by a pretty healthy margin,” said Salmon.

The Wisconsin congressman, a reluctant candidate for the post, was asked to run by mainstream party leaders seeking to resolve a crisis set in motion when compromise-averse conservatives pushed Boehner to resign and then pressured his likely successor into withdrawing.

The same intraparty divide is roiling the Republicans’ presidential campaign, with outsiders led by Donald Trump dominating the field for months.

On Wednesday, some House members took issue with Ryan’s suggested changes to congressional rules and even his desire to balance family life with the demands of the job. Freedom Caucus members said that in offering their

support for Ryan they were not embracing the changes he sought.

“No other speaker candidate came in and said here’s the list of my demands, either meet those or I’m not going to do this,” said Rep. Tim Huelskamp of Kansas. “Speaker’s a big job. And it’s not a 9-to-5 job.

So there are a lot of questions to be answered.”

The Freedom Caucus earlier had endorsed Rep. Daniel Webster of Florida, a low-key former speaker of the House in Florida who’s focused on “pushing down” on what he calls the “pyramid of power” in the House. Caucus members said that while that endorsement still technically stands, their support for Ryan supersedes it.

The Freedom Caucus announcement came as Ryan was making the rounds to the three major House caucuses whose endorsements he was seeking as a condition for running for speaker. It’s a job the 45-year-old never wanted but is exploring, he said, out of a sense of duty after Boehner announced his resignation and Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy abruptly withdrew from the running to replace him.

Ryan has made clear that he does not want to be the latest victim of Republican dysfunction and will run only if it becomes clear he can unify the House GOP. “I won’t be the third log on the bonfire,” he said.

Boehner, who hopes to leave Congress at the end of this month, sought to move the process forward, scheduling elections for next week.

“If I can be a unifying figure in our conference, I’m willing to step up and be one, it’s just that simple,” Ryan said ahead of the Freedom Caucus announcement. “If not, then it’s OK, I’ll just go back to Ways and Means.”

Netanyahu causes uproar by linking Palestinians to Holocaust

By ARON HELLER The Associated Press JERUSALEM – Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sparked an uproar in Israel on Wednesday for suggesting that a World War II-era Palestinian leader persuaded the Nazis to adopt their Final Solution to exterminate 6 million Jews.

Holocaust experts and survivors slammed Netanyahu’s comments as historically inaccurate and serving the interests of Holocaust deniers

by lessening the responsibility of Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. Critics also said the statement amounts to incitement against modern-day Palestinians in the midst of a wave of violent unrest and high tensions.

Speaking to a group of Jewish leaders Tuesday, Netanyahu tried to use a historical anecdote to illustrate his claim that Palestinian incitement surrounding Jerusalem’s most sensitive holy site goes back decades. He has repeatedly claimed that

a wave of Palestinian attacks in recent weeks is the result of decades of hatred, and not connected to Israel’s 48year occupation of lands claimed by the Palestinians, as the Palestinians have Benjamin claimed.

Netanyahu Netanyahu said the World War II-era grand mufti of Jerusalem, Nazi sympathizer Haj Amin al-Husseini, also instigated

Palestinian attacks on Jews over lies that they planned to destroy the Temple Mount, known to Muslims at the Noble Sanctuary.

Netanyahu said al-Husseini played a “central role in fomenting the final solution” by trying to convince Hitler to destroy the Jews during a November 1941 meeting in Berlin.

“Hitler didn’t want to exterminate the Jews at the time, he wanted to expel the Jews,” Netanyahu told the group. “And Haj Amin

al-Husseini went to Hitler and said, ‘If you expel them, they’ll all come here.’ ‘So what should I do with them?’ he asked. He said, ‘Burn them.’ ” Details of the meeting between al-Husseini and Hitler are sketchy. The Nazis released a grainy propaganda video showing the mufti making a Nazi salute before a warm handshake. The official record from the meeting says Hitler pledged “the annihilation of Jewry living in Arab space.”

Police caution against using Nature Trail alone

By ERIC R. OLSON eolson@shawmedia.com

Home on north side of DeKalb burns DAILY CHRONICLE DeKALB – Firefighters were called about 7:15 p.m. Wednesday to a house engulfed in flames near the intersection of First Street and Kishwaukee Lane on the city’s north side.

First Street was closed between Bethany Road and Dresser Road as firefighters from DeKalb, Sycamore, Cortland and Malta battled the blaze.

Fire officials said the house was believed to be abandoned. It was ablaze when they arrived and was still burning 30 minutes later.

The DeKalb Fire Department called in a brush fire truck so they could reach the house, which was in the middle of a field, DeKalb Fire Chief Eric Hicks said.

Firefighters tried to tackle the flames with a hose in the meantime.

Monica Synett – msynett@shawmedia.com There did not appear to be any structures near the house between Timber Trail and Kishwaukee Area firefighters respond to a structure fire at about 7:15 p.m. Wednesday on north First Street in DeKalb. The fire was still under investigaLane that could have been damaged.

The fire’s cause remains under investigation. tion Wednesday evening.

DeKALB – Police received another report this week of a man exposing himself on the nature trail this week, prompting them to warn people against walking the trail alone.

The most recent incident happened about 5 p.m. Monday, DeKalb Deputy Police Chief John Petragallo said Wednesday.

That brings to four the number of incidents that have occurred over two months, Petragallo said. All of the incidents have been in the same area, where a spur trail separates from the main trail and heads off in a loop behind the nearby Michael’s store, Petragallo said Wednesday. All of the victims have been women, he said.

The bike trail connects the 2100 block of Sycamore Road with the 2900 block of North First Street.

“We’re recommending people use the buddy system if they’re going to use the nature trail, not to walk it alone or run it alone,” Petragallo said.

Although descriptions from victims have varied, the same person probably is responsible, he said.

“There’s similarities on a few of them, and eyewitness testimony when people are very frightened and they’re running away may not be very exact, but we believe they’re all connected,” Petragallo said.

The man hasn’t threatened any of the victims, although in the most recent case, he grabbed a woman’s arm, police said. There are no photos or video of the suspect, and he has covered his face in some incidents, making him difficult for victims to describe, Petragallo said.

In community alerts, police said the man is about 25 years old, between 5-feet 10-inches and 6-feet tall, with a medium build and an unkempt appearance. He is typically on foot but was riding a small BMX-style bike in the most recent instance. He frequent-

Safety tips • Use area bike paths and recreation areas only during daylight hours.

• Run or walk with a friend or group of friends rather than alone.

• If you are in a situation and feel that something is wrong, trust your instincts and remove yourself from the situation as soon as possible.

• Carry a mobile phone with you in case you need to make an emergency call.

• Mobile phones are also great for snapping a quick photo or video clip that could help identify someone during an investigation.

• Be aware of your surroundings and avoid using earbuds or anything that would make it difficult for you to hear somebody approaching from behind.

• If you see something suspicious, say something. Call police.

ly covers his face with a stocking hat or baseball cap.

The incidents all have occurred during daylight hours, at 7 a.m., 10 a.m. and most recently around 5 p.m.

Several people were out enjoying the pleasant weather on the trail Wednesday.

Cori Trolinger of DeKalb was jogging with her 2-year-old yellow lab, Libby, in the area Wednesday morning while listening to music on earphones.

She said she had heard about the incidents in the area, but wasn’t too concerned. Libby’s a very protective dog, she said.

“I’ve run out here pretty much every day for the last two years and I’ve never seen anything weird,” she said, adding that she does carry pepper spray, just in case.

Police said they have added extra patrols and other efforts in the area and urge anyone who might have had an encounter with the person in the past but not reported it to do so.

County backs football title games; gives no cash ty Board Chairman Mark Pietrowski Jr., D-3rd District.

Over 30,000 people are expected to come to the area for the event. Two years ago, the event pumped nearly $1 million into the local economy, according to the DeKalb County Convention and Visitors Bureau.

Officials there reported that 475 rooms were booked and there were 14 events that employed caterers. Also, gas sales increased and local restaurants reported as much as 50 percent higher revenues during the two days of games.

The event will bring 16 prep teams to compete for the state title. Four games are scheduled to be played each day at Huskie Stadium.

Board members have praised the county’s economic development committee for coming up with the proposed $91 million fiscal 2016 budget without dipping more than $400,000 into cash reserves.

The belt-tightening came about in part by denying some county departments funding requests for things such as per-

By RHONDA GILLESPIE rgillespie@shawmedia.com DeKALB – The DeKalb County Board passed a resolution Wednesday to support hosting the Nov. 27 and 28 Illinois High School Association football championships here, but this time around is not doling out any cash.

Board members said the $25,000 that it gave the host committee – composed of IHSA Destination DeKalb Committee, the DeKalb County Convention and Visitors Bureau and Northern Illinois University – in 2013 was “seed money,” since it was the first time the tournament was held here.

“It was start-up money,” said Steve Faivre, D-4th District.

He is on the economic development committee that brought the resolution before the full County Board. The resolution passed on a 23-0 vote.

“Most of us felt that this was not something that people wanted their county real-estate taxes to go to,” said Faivre.

“Given the enthusiasm and

The resolution is intended to convey that the county supports the football championships being held at NIU’s Huskie Stadium and in the county, and encourages the community to rally behind the event, board members said.

County officials said putting money behind the two days of

games just wasn’t an option this year. IHSA football championships are held at NIU in odd numbered years, and on the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign campus in even numbered years.

“We’re very conscious about our budget. And with the state not having a budget right now, [we] felt the best thing to do – if we’re facing cuts and other things – is to offer our verbal support and not our financial support this year,” said Coun-

sonnel raises and expanded services.

The county limited raises to its nonunion employees to 2 percent or less, and trustees even recommended that salaries for officials up for election next year not be bumped up more than that. DeKalb County is expected to raise fees on some services and, for the most part, only spend additional money on expanding the jail and hiring corrections officers.

NIU spokesman and DCCVB member Brad Hoey said the host committee was aware before passage of Wednesday’s resolution that it would not be getting county money. Still, he expects that the resolution will boost such efforts as getting volunteers for the championship games.

“Would it be great if we had the financial commitment from the County Board? Absolutely,” said Hoey. “But ... we’re with some really challenging fiscal times here. So we’ll continue to accept any sponsorships or donations right up until the time of the event.”

• BIDEN

Continued from page A1 Biden notably did not endorse a candidate in the Democratic race. Instead, he delivered a 13-minute speech that very well could have been a platform for the campaign he’ll never run. He decried the role of big money in politics and touted the importance of reducing income inequality and making college education more accessible, issues with significant support among liberals.

He also repeated a veiled criticism of Clinton that had crept into his speeches in recent days, saying Democrats should not view Republicans as their enemies. Clinton said in the debate that she was proud to count the GOP among the enemies she’s made during her political career.

Biden’s decision gives Clinton a boost heading into her testimony Thursday before a Republican-led House committee investigating the deadly attack on Americans in Benghazi, Libya, three years ago. With Biden out of the race, Clinton’s campaign sees the hearing as a final hurdle before she can fully focus on early voting contests in Iowa, New Hampshire and elsewhere.

For many Republicans, Biden’s decision comes as a disappointment. Party leaders had all but cheered his potential candidacy, eager to see the Democratic race thrown into chaos and perhaps distract attention from a GOP primary that’s been roiled by the rise of unorthodox candidates such as Donald Trump and Ben Carson.

Trump praised Biden and took a poke at Clinton in a single tweet: “I think Joe Biden made correct decision for him & his family.

Personally, I would rather run against Hillary because her record is so bad.”

Some already are planning for next year • PUMPKIN FEST

Continued from page A1 “I would say the last few years is when we kind of topped 1,000 [people.] I think we had our most two years ago. I think we had about 1,100,” Genz said.

Pumpkin Fest has only just begun, with events scheduled through Sunday evening. But some, as is 2-year-old Eowyn Hooker, are already planning for next year.

“Probably, I’m going to make a cheetah,” she said, pointing to a pumpkin a few feet away from her own. “This one is my favorite because it has glitter.”

City budgeted $2.4M for police pension, $3.1M for fire department pension • RATING

Continued from page A1 The city budgeted $2.4 million for the police pension fund and $3.1 million for the fire department pension fund this year. Current funding levels for the police pension fund is 59.2 percent and levels for the fire pension fund are at 45.1 percent.

The report said that DeKalb’s pension burden is higher than average and has grown in recent years despite annual contributions in line with state statutes.

“Our net pension obligation is fairly low based on state calculations,” Haley said. “But

the annual net pension liabilities differed slightly because [Moody’s] factor weight doubled from 10 percent to 20 percent on their score card, which is a pretty big change.”

Moody’s also took into account DeKalb’s dependence on state revenue. One challenge cited was that a large revenue source comes from intergovernmental receipts that make up a large part of DeKalb’s operating fund revenue.

“The negative outlook reflects the city’s growing pension liabilities and the persistent declines to the property tax base. Also incorporated into the negative outlook is the city’s dependence on revenues from the State of Illinois (A3

negative),” the report read.

Haley said most of DeKalb’s state revenue would come from its share of sales and income taxes.

“We all know the city of DeKalb is dependent on salestax as a revenue source,” she said. “The persistent decline in property tax – the rate has declined and has been declining – but we don’t have the [equalized assessed values] out yet, so we are hoping it starts to trend back up.”

The DeKalb County assessor’s office should release the current estimated equalized assessed value for property in DeKalb by the end of the month, Haley said.

DeKalb had an assessed value of $515 million in 2014, down 28 percent from $715 million in 2010.

“The estimate is typically a good indicator of where they are going,” Haley said, “The final reports won’t come out until March.”

She added that Moody’s probably won’t re-rate the city for another year, but DeKalb is in a good position to drop the negative outlook, especially in light of budgeting a surplus to grow reserves.

“The financial position of the city has improved over the past three years,” Haley said. “If we look at financial stability and growth of reserves up to the 25 percent mark, those are two strong things to consider.”

Marijuana use in U.S. adults doubles

By LINDSEY TANNER The Associated Press CHICAGO – Marijuana use among U.S. adults doubled over a decade, rising to almost 10 percent or more than 22 million mostly recreational users, government surveys show.

The trend reflects a cultural shift and increasingly permissive views about the drug, the researchers Voice your say, noting that other studies opinion have shown increasing numAre you bers of adults one of the think marijuana 10 percent should be legalof American ized.

The results come from a comparison of health surveys from 2001-02 and 2012-13 sponsored by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism.

Almost 80,000 adults aged 18 and older participated in faceto-face interviews about various health-related behaviors. Results were published Wednesday in the journal JAMA Psychiatry.

POT PARTAKERS

Participants were asked if they had used marijuana in the past year, and about signs of problematic use.

Those include trying but unable to reduce heavy use, and continued use despite knowing it may be damaging health or causing depression or anxiety – problems affecting about 6.8 million adults, the latest survey suggests.

Use increased among all ages but was most common in adults aged 18 to 29.

Teen marijuana use is higher. About 23 percent of high school students had used the drug in the past month in 2013 – but it has been somewhat stable during the past decade, other research shows.

Family seeks answers after black drummer killed by an officer

By KELLI KENNEDY and JOSH REPLOGLE The Associated Press PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. – The family of a black drummer and public housing inspector killed by a plainclothes officer is demanding answers after he was fatally shot when his car broke down on a dark interstate exit ramp in affluent Palm Beach Gardens.

Officer Nouman Raja, who had been investigating local burglaries, stopped his unmarked car early Sunday morning to check out what he thought was an abandoned vehicle, Palm Beach Gardens Police Chief Stephen Stepp said.

Instead, “he was suddenly confronted by an armed subject” and fatally shot 31-yearold Corey Jones, Stepp said.

Investigators recovered a handgun on the ground that matched a box found in the car, Stepp said. Records indicate Jones purchased the weapon legally only three days before. Raja’s car did not have a dashboard camera and the department’s officers do not wear body cameras, the chief said.

Police have not said what caused the confrontation between the men or whether Jones knew that Raja was a police officer.

“It would be premature to say we have all the facts

and speculate as to what took place based on unconfirmed accounts,” Stepp told reporters.

The state’s legislative black caucus called on the governor to launch an independent investigation by the state law enforcement agency. Family members and friends were stunned by Jones’ death, describing the housing authority inspector who moonlighted as a drummer in local bands as nonviolent. He was raised in a church-going family that includes pastors and a bishop.

He had been returning from playing at a local bar when his car broke down, local media reported. He pulled over and called a friend, who had come and unsuccessfully tried to help him get the car running. The friend left and Jones called a tow truck, which hadn’t arrived when Raja pulled up on the exit ramp near a busy intersection and several upscale shopping centers.

An uncle, Fred Banks, said Wednesday that the confrontation could have resulted from mistaken identity and Jones may have thought he had to defend himself.

“If (Raja) had clothes on identifying him as an officer (the shooting) probably would never have happened. Corey probably got scared,” Banks said. “He wouldn’t attack anybody.”

Ferrari goes public The ASSOCIATED PRESS Ferrari roared onto the New York Stock Exchange Wednesday and its shares, trading under the ticker symbol RACE, closed higher in their public debut.

Shares of Ferrari climbed almost 17 percent in early trading and settled for the day at $55, up 6 percent while the broader markets edged lower.

The automaker, based in the northern Italian town of Maranello, had been a private company since its founding in 1929 by Italian sports driver Enzo Ferrari.

In 1969, Fiat bought a 50 percent stake in the company, which it then increased to 90 percent in 1988.

For Fiat-Chrysler (the companies joined last year), the IPO raises needed cash and also helps pare debt at the world’s seventh largest automaker, which has ambi-

tious plans to expand its Alfa Romeo brand and other higher-margin luxury cars like Maserati.

There were questions, however, about how becoming a public company might affect such an iconic brand.

IHS Automotive, the consulting firm, said some filings suggest Ferrari might boost production from between 7,000 and 8,000 cars a year, to 9,000 by 2019.

IHS acknowledged that it did not know if the company would devote any new production to higher-end models that cost well in excess of $200,000 which already exceed demand or, like in the late 1960s and early 1970s, it would again start making lower-priced models to put the Ferrari within reach of more people.

“Whatever the strategy it chooses to enact, it will be keen to maintain the combi-

nation of mystique and profit-generating ability of this business,” said Ian Fletcher, an IHS analyst.

In an interview with CNBC from the floor of the NYSE, Sergio Marchionne, CEO of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and chairman of Ferrari, said he would not allow increased production to threaten the Ferrari tradition.

“What is at the heart of the brand is this intimate relationship between us and the customer base. We have 60 percent of the people that buy our cars every year are returning customers,” Marchionne said. “And therefore it would be almost suicidal to try and expand volumes to the detriment of that relationship.”

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles will still retain an 80 percent share in Ferrari. It plans distribute Ferrari stock to its shareholders next year.

EXPERTS’ TAKE

Because most states didn’t have medical marijuana laws during the survey years, the results likely reflect mostly recreational use, said Deborah Hasin, a Columbia University professor, substance abuse researcher and the study’s lead author.

The results “show people can use marijuana without harms, but there are risks,” she said, adding that more research on causes of problematic use is needed.

Dr. Wilson Compton, deputy director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, said other research has shown similar trends but that the sharp increase found in the surveys is striking.

Prevalence of dependence “is of great concern” to public health officials, he said.

The grip of autism is not selective. This child is only trying to make sense of his world and his emotional kaleidoscope. I want him to be able to cross the train tracks without being gripped by fear and to enjoy the Christmas lights with the rest of us. I want him to know that he is a treasure, every single day.

People with autism are often in a state of sensory overload.

Experiences are more intense:

louder, scarier, more painful , often intolerable. I have seen anecdotal studies of children close in age to my son, with similar behaviors, who seemed to get better almost overnight when allowed the chance to have medical marijuana.

For Ethan, there are extraordinary swings of angst, fear, and aggression. There are flashes of brilliance and charm; those are the moments we relish, the ones that bring us through the challenges.

Ethan has been through two psychiatric hospitalizations. He had more physical restraints during the last calendar year than anyone else at his therapeutic day school.

I’m sorry for railroad tracks, thunder, bees, wind, and for all of the other things that invade his head and stir his fears.

We don’t want him to go back to where he is not understood, where

nobody sits with him as he falls asleep, where he is presented with trays of brown things with gravy, and where the outcome will be no different than before.

My little boy, at 7, has been on at least 15 medications, many with negative side effects. Many children in states with more sensible laws have recovered the ability to function in everyday life by using edible marijuana. I feel that it is our ethical responsibility to offer this same opportunity to children in Illinois: the chance at a calm and joyful childhood.

On behalf of my son and others who may not have words to express, please call the Illinois Department of Public Health office at 312-814-8482 to leave your message in favor of approving medical marijuana as a treatment for autism.

Dems buy votes with promise of free programs

To the Editor: It is easy to be a Democratic candidate running for President.

Just promise everything free. In return, get millions of votes.

How will they pay for all these freebies? It doesn’t matter. Just add to the trillions in debt, or play the class envy card. “The rich will pay for it.”

By the way, after you figure out that these freebies are a scam for votes, there will be millions of new voters wanting freebies.

They are called illegal immigrants.

We should never trade our freedom and our country’s economic security for freebies. Nothing is free, and the money tree doesn’t exist.

Clinton in command as rivals hold fire Hillary Clinton faced a moment of real jeopardy in the first Democratic debate. A lot of Democrats have been getting jittery about her poll numbers and her inability to put away stories about her email server. A bad debate could have caused a panic, and maybe tipped Vice President Joe Biden toward running against her.

But Clinton triumphed. The other candidates failed to take multiple opportunities to disparage her ethics, her flipflops and her electability. None of them said that Clinton has done a lot to justify the public’s perception of her as untrustworthy, or that this perception could doom Democrats’ chances of keeping the White House if she is the nominee. This would have been a harsh criticism, to be sure, and many Democrats would have disliked hearing it. But that is, fundamentally, the case against her being the Democratic nominee.

Instead of making it, Bernie Sanders even defended her on the e-mail issue, saying he was sick of hearing about it – a sentiment with which she heartily, and surely sincerely, agreed.

Clinton’s rivals left it to CNN’s moderator, Anderson Cooper, to offer the most pointed criticisms. Her worst moment was her response to the first question: Cooper asked about her transparently primary-driven flip-flop on the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the 12-nation free-trade deal she supported as secretary of State and then criticized last week. The other Democrats declined to follow up. When she dismissed the controversy over the personal email account she used instead of a secured State Department account, calling it a partisan Republican witch

VIEWS Ramesh Ponnuru hunt, it was Cooper who noted that the FBI is investigating and that President Barack Obama had rebuked her over it.

Clinton didn’t just benefit from opponents who refused to go negative. She also effectively parried their few efforts to go after her. O’Malley suggested that she shouldn’t be president because of her vote for the Iraq war; she pointed out that he had backed her presidential campaign in 2008, long after that vote. She did an effective job of sticking to her most popular policies: The increased minimum wage got an early mention, and she talked about paid family leave every chance she could.

And while much of the debate consisted of Democrats out-lefting each other – competing, for example, over who was most hostile to the National Rifle Association, an organization more popular than any of those Democrats – Clinton was also careful to keep herself from being pegged as an extremist. She stood by her vote for the Patriot Act, and disagreed with Sanders’s advocacy of “democratic socialism” as superior to capitalism.

Democratic elites – officeholders, big donors, strategists, and so forth – will be relieved by her performance. But it remains to be seen how one particular member of that elite, Biden, will react. He could find her performance impressive and decide that she is not vulnerable to a challenge. Or he could decide that she

is vulnerable indeed, given how low her poll numbers have been in Iowa and New Hampshire against such weak rivals.

And for all her caution, she might not be positioning herself well for the general election. This is not just a matter of being too liberal. The public wants a change after two terms of Obama – a sentiment it would have even if he were more popular than he is.

When he ran to succeed Ronald Reagan in 1988, George H.W. Bush felt he had to promise a “kinder, gentler nation” as a way of separating himself from the incumbent. Separation would seem to be more important today, given how dissatisfied people are with the state of the country. (Even Democrats: Clinton should have listened to Sanders’s litany of complaints about the economy at the end of two Obama terms.) But Clinton voiced no specific disagreement with the Obama administration and outlined no new direction. Asked to name a difference, she invoked her sex.

She is nonetheless on track to win her party’s nomination. Lincoln Chafee’s goals in the debate, assuming he had any, were mysterious. Sanders at one point talked about the need to raise the public’s consciousness. Clinton is doing something different: running for president. She often seemed to be the only person on the stage seriously in the hunt. She was in command, much like Mitt Romney in the presidential debates of 2011.

October 22, 2015

October is the month for “pink outs” and other events that raise money for breast cancer research or to help women in need access breast cancer services.

But as many peoplde will tell you, the need for assistance and awareness continues year-round.

One in eight women will develop breast cancer in their lives, according to the National Cancer Institute.

Other statistics are similarly staggering: • The American Cancer Society estimates about 231,840 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women in 2015; • About 40,290 women will die from breast cancer in 2015; • About 12 percent of women in the U.S. will develop invasive breast cancer during their lifetime.

• There are more than 2.8 million breast cancer survivors in the U.S., including women still being treated and those who have completed treatment, according to the American Cancer Society.

Breast cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer death in women, exceeded only by lung cancer.

Women have about a 3 percent chance of dying from breast cancer.

The good news is death rates have been declining since about 1989. It is believed the decreases can be attributed to early detection through screening and increased awareness, as well as improved treatment.

Although early detection is key, the American Cancer Society offered new mammogram advice for women with new guidelines published Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association that would reduce screenings.

The society said most women should start annual screenings at age 45 – instead of 40 – and the cancer group also now advises switching to screening to every other year at 55. The new recommendations still make early detection possible but also, officials hope, will reduce the number false alarms and accompanying tests and anxiety that are more likely among younger women.

The advice is for women at average risk for breast cancer. Doctors generally recommend more intensive screening for higher-risk women, and the American Cancer Society says all women’s preferences for when to be scanned should be considered.

“The most important message of all is that a mammogram is the most effective thing that a woman can do to reduce her chance of dying from breast cancer,” said Dr. Richard Wender, the cancer society’s cancer control chief.

October is winding down, but breast cancer is a year-round issue. Remain vigilant in fighting this deadly cancer.

ANOTHER VIEW

Being lazy should not disqualify you from voting If California is a national trendsetter, there’s reason to be optimistic about the future of voting in the U.S. California Gov. Jerry Brown recently signed a bill making it the second state, after Oregon, to adopt automatic voter registration. The idea is simple: Since people submit official proof of identity and residency when registering for a driver’s license, why force them to resubmit it to register to vote?

California will automatically enroll eligible drivers as voters, after giving them the chance to opt out.

In most states, registering to vote is simple enough: Print out a form (or get one from a government office) and mail it in. Twenty-six states also offer online registration. Nevertheless, millions of Americans are eligible to vote but not registered.

And the fact that so many people – most of them able-bodied – just don’t bother speaks to laziness, indifference or cynicism. Or all three.

Voting is more than an individual right, however. It’s a public good, the foundation of democracy.

So the government has a compelling interest in making registration as easy as possible.

Some states are moving in the opposite direction.

In Arizona and Kansas, voters must show proof of citizenship– a birth certificate or passport, for example – to register. Since 2013, when this requirement took effect in Kansas, more than 36,000 residents have attempted to register without submitting such proof. The state is now purging them from the rolls, forcing them to re-register.

But requiring citizens to prove their status creates a far bigger problem than the one it solves. Very few of the roughly 24 million noncitizens who live in the U.S. register to vote, and even fewer cast ballots.

A more efficient way to ensure that only citizens are on the voter rolls is for government agencies to share information. Many people submit proof of citizenship when getting a driver’s license. And states like California that issue driver’s licenses to noncitizens also know which drivers should not be registered to vote.

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

IHSA CLASS 3A DeKALB BOYS SOCCER REGIONAL: CRYSTAL LAKE SOUTH 3, DeKALB 2 (PK)

MORNING KICKOFF

Barbs lose two-goal lead, fall in PKs

By JAMES HIGH sports@daily-chronicle.com AP file photo

Illinois argues lawsuit should be dismissed

URBANA – The University of Illinois argues in a motion filed this week that a judge should dismiss a lawsuit filed by seven former women’s basketball players because the school cannot be sued in federal court.

In the motion filed Tuesday, the university argues that the sovereign immunity that prevents the state from being sued in federal court also covers the state university.

The university also argues that the plaintiffs have not provided proof of the racial discrimination they allege.

In the lawsuit, filed in July, the players accuse basketball coach Matt Bollant and former assistant coach Mike Divilbiss of violating their civil rights by creating a racially hostile environment. The players, five of whom are black and two of whom are white, claim that separate practices held for less-favored players were intended to segregate players.

The players also claim discipline was more severe for black players, among other things.

“Plaintiffs have failed to plead any facts that plausibly establish race discrimination within the women’s basketball program – a threshold requirement under the law to sustain any of the claims alleged,” university attorneys argue in the motion.

Terry Ekl, an attorney for the players, said he wasn’t surprised by the university’s claims.

“The test is whether there are sufficient allegations in the complaint to establish the various causes of action,” he said in an email Wednesday.

“I am confident that the complaint pleads sufficient facts.”

DeKALB – An early twogoal lead was not enough for the DeKalb boys soccer team.

Crystal Lake South rallied from its deficit to force overtime and eventually won, 3-2, in a shootout in an IHSA Class 3A DeKalb Regional semifinal match.

The Barbs controlled momentum through most of the first half.

Mike Leopardo scored within the first five minutes, and Tristan Bujarski added another goal to give the Barbs Mary Beth Nolan – mnolan@shawmedia.com a 2-0 lead.

The game remained tied throughout most of the second half until Crystal Lake South’s Brad Grabkowski scored when Barbs’ goalkeeper Jack Fellabaum gave up a rebound with 10 minutes remaining.

The match went into two overtimes before going into a shootout.

The Barbs first shooter, Angel Martinez, missed his shot. Leo Marquez, Mike Leopardo, and Benny Redzepi all scored for the Barbs, and Nikolas Getzinger, Jake Canfield, Zach Schmidt, and Jeff Kirshenbaum all scored for the Gators.

But the shootout ended when Gators’ goalkeeper Brandon Gorka blocked the shot of Peyton Billips to give Crystal Lake South a berth to the regional championship.

“You gotta start by giving credit to DeKalb,” Gators coach Brian Allen said.

“The thing about Joel, he does exactly what you coach him to do,” Northern Illinois running back coach Kelton Copeland said. “If you coach him to take a six-inch step, he’s going to take a six-inch step. That’s a big part of why he’s successful. He fits our

Of his 13 touchdowns this season, seven have come on runs of three yards or fewer.

However, in the 45-12 win at Miami (Ohio), Bouagnon had two touchdowns on 22-yard runs and added another score on a career-high 53-yard carry. He also had a 29-yard touchdown in the season opener against UNLV.

SPORTS BRIEFS Pitt thriving on defense under Narduzzi PITTSBURGH – Pat Narduzzi is off to a fast start at Pittsburgh with his aggressive defensive approach.

Halfway through Narduzzi’s first season as head coach, the Panthers are ranked for the first time in five years and lead the Atlantic Coast Conference’s Coastal Division with a 5-1 record.

No. 25 Pitt’s defense is 17th nationally, allowing 300.8 yards a game behind a pass rush that leads the ACC with 22 sacks “If you’re getting tackles for losses and sacks it helps you,” said Narduzzi, a former Northern Illinois football assistant and the 2013 Broyles Award winner at Michigan State as the nation’s top assistant coach. “It gets you off the field on third down.”

The Panthers are averaging a conference-best 3.67 sacks.

Texas Motor Speedway adds more SAFER barriers FORT WORTH, Texas – The entire inside wall of the backstretch at Texas Motor Speedway and the interior walls at the entry and exit of pit road will have energy-absorbing barriers in place when NASCAR races there in two weekends.

There were already SAFER barriers on high-impact exterior walls at the 1½-mile track, but speedway officials said Wednesday that the installation of an additional 2,866 feet to select areas should be completed this week.

Along with the inside walls, SAFER barriers are being added to three exterior sections on the frontstretch, directly across from the entry and exit of the pits, and at the start-finish line.

Another 2,103 feet of safety barrier will be installed before NASCAR returns next April, and every wall will be protected after a third phase after that.

Cavs, Thompson reach agreement on contract CLEVELAND – Already an elite rebounder, Tristan Thompson snatched a long-term contract from the Cavaliers.

The restricted free-agent forward has agreed in principle with the defending Eastern Conference champions on a five-year, $82 million contract, ending his holdout and giving the Cavs needed frontcourt depth as they enter a new season.

The team confirmed Wednesday night it had a verbal agreement with Thompson, who helped the Cavs get to the NBA Finals last season by filling in for an injured Kevin Love.

By MARK LAZERUS mlazerus@suntimes.com Viktor Tikhonov is 27 years old – just 13 days younger than Jonathan Toews.

He’s a former first-round draft pick who played 68 NHL games as a rookie. He was an accomplished goal scorer in the talent-rich KHL. But when he was told Marian Hossa thought he worked well on the Blackhawks’ top line alongside Hossa and Toews, Tikhonov started gushing like a starry-eyed teenager.

“Really?” Tikhonov said, as a broad smile overtook his face.

“He said that? Wow. That’s awesome.”

There’s a reason Joel Quenneville has deemed the Hawks’ top-line left-wing as the “lottery” spot. It’s the spot that helped turn Brandon Saad into a star, and helped Patrick Sharp put up the best numbers of his stellar career. It’s a chance to play alongside two future Hall of Famers, both of whom are dangerous, yet responsible in all areas of the ice.

“Coming to this team, I never really dreamed of playing with Marian Hossa and Jonathan Toews,” Tikhonov said. “That’s something you have to do in a video game – create yourself and put yourself on their line. When something like that actually happens in real life, it kind of shocks you a little bit.”

But through the first two weeks of the season, winning the lottery has been more of a curse than a blessing.

Ryan Garbutt started there in Philadelphia; he was a healthy scratch the next game. Tikhonov started there in Washington; he was a healthy scratch the next game. Bryan Bickell started there Saturday against Columbus; he’s likely a healthy scratch Thursday against the Florida Panthers, with Tikhonov getting another crack at it.

For Hossa, the only player on the team who’s ever been even remotely critical of Quenneville’s line tinkering – at least, publicly – it’s been a little frustrating.

Blackhawks left wing Viktor Tikhonov of Russia skates to the puck during the third period Oct. 14 against the Philadelphia Flyers in Philadelphia. The Flyers won 3-0.

“Definitely, we’d like to have one player for some period of games,” said Hossa, who said after Saturday’s game – in which Tikhonov was scratched – that Tikhonov had been a nice fit. “Because then you get used to it, and you know what to expect. And definitely, it’s much easier to play with one player.

But it’s the coach’s decision in the end, and he’s trying to look for somebody.”

But Hossa admits he and Toews could do more, too.

Toews hasn’t scored this season and has just 11 shots on goal through six games. Hossa, meanwhile, finally broke through with a shorthanded goal Saturday. Nearly all the Hawks offense this season has come from the second line of Artemi Panarin, Artem Anisimov and Patrick Kane.

“What do we need? First of all, we feel like we can play better, too,” Hossa said. “I think it’s slowly coming. But whoever Q decides to put there,

we’ll try to find the chemistry.

It doesn’t matter who is there, we just have to find a way to win.”

So what does it take to succeed in that role? There isn’t another Saad or Sharp on the roster, certainly not on the left side. So Quenneville is preaching simplicity – he’s looking for an efficient player with good speed and good instincts.

Nothing fancy.

“Those are two pretty easy guys to play with, because they play so well away from the puck,” Garbutt said. “They’re good defensively and they’re always in the right spots. They just read off each other so well.

Then, on top of that, they’re both hard workers. You don’t see that a lot in the NHL – topline guys that work as hard as they do, and backcheck like they do. So it’s pretty special to play there.”

Bickell said the solution to both the line’s problems and the team’s problems is pretty

BULLS

simple.

“I think we need to score,” he said. “That’s the biggest thing. We have one line scoring.”

Well, it’s Tikhonov’s turn again. In Philadelphia after he replaced Garbutt on the top line during the game, Tikhonov seemed to click with Toews and Hossa. But the Hawks lost the game, and lost the next one in Washington, too. Just like that, Tikhonov was out.

Quenneville’s patience is thin, and Tikhonov’s leash is short. But he’s back in the lottery spot for now, hoping this time, he’ll hit the jackpot.

“I’m incredibly excited to try again,” Tikhonov said. “I love playing with those guys – they’re extremely positive, and they help out with every single play. Those are two guys that can make a scoring chance out of nothing. As long as we have the puck and we outwork the other team, we should get things going.”

ALCS GAME 5 – BLUE JAYS 7, ROYALS 1

Gasol worried about finish line Toronto

By JOE COWLEY

pushes series to Game 6

jcowley@suntimes.com Come next week when games actually start counting in the standings, Bulls big man Pau Gasol insisted that the “leash is totally off’’ as far as his preseason minutes restrictions and scheduled off-days.

But will it stay off in the final minutes of games, especially with Gasol again making it clear he wants to be on the floor?

“No, I still believe that it’s important you want to have your best players on the floor when you finish a game off because that’s when the game is on the line, and so we have to have the weapons that will help the team the best to get the win,” Gasol said after Tuesday’s win over Indiana.

“Whether that’s one lineup or the other, we’ll see.

“We do have the fortune, I think, that we do have a lot of great players and a lot of depth, so we’ll see what happens. Obviously, we would all like to play, we all like to compete, we all like to be there when the game is on the line, so it will be interesting.”

That it will, especially for first-year coach Fred Hoiberg.

Former coach Tom Thibodeau was not shy when it came to sitting Gasol in the final minutes of games last season, especially if he was looking for defense or didn’t like the match-up. It wasn’t a constant, but it definitely happened.

Gasol was not shy about expressing his disappointment about not being out there to close out games, but also took a what’s-best-for-the-team attitude.

Hoiberg already has shown that he’s not afraid to shake up

Come next week, it matters, and that’s also when animosity can start to grow.

It’s also about Hoiberg trying to take advantage of familiarity. Gasol and Noah rarely looked comfortable on the court together last season. This summer, Mirotic spent months

playing alongside Gasol for Team Spain, winning the European Championship. Hoiberg’s mindset is obviously why not bring a little of that Team Spain love to Chicago soil?

“He’s a player that spreads the floor, knows how to play the game, is a threat from outside,’’ Gasol said of Mirotic. “We understand each other well, and so we have good chemistry, good connection, and we play well with each other.’’

TORONTO – Marco Estrada took the mound with one task: save the season for the Toronto Blue Jays.

He did it, pitching one-hit ball into the eighth inning to give Toronto’s tattered bullpen a rest, and the Blue Jays beat the Kansas City Royals, 7-1, on Wednesday to close to 3-2 in the best-of-seven American League Championship Series.

“It’s the start that we needed,” shortstop Troy Tulowitzki said.

“They’re a great team over there.

We know that. But this guy kept them off balance and allowed the offense to settle in and get some runs.”

Tulowitzki provided three of those runs. He broke the game open with a bases-clearing double off Kelvin Herrera in the sixth, giving him seven RBIs in the series. Edwin Encarnacion had walked with the bases loaded against Edinson Volquez, who seemed flustered by a couple of close calls against the Royals.

Kansas City totaled 22 runs and 30 hits in the first two games in Toronto, but Estrada faced the minimum 20 batters before Lorenzo Cain walked with two outs in the seventh. Closer Roberto Osuna was perfect in the ninth.

Yordano Ventura will start for the Royals on Friday in Game 6 against David Price.

Estrada, a 32-year-old freeagent to be, kept the bullpen door closed for most of the afternoon, a day after Kansas City romped 14-2 in a game that saw infielder Cliff Pennington pitch in the ninth.

NFL BRIEFS Brady wants to play ‘10 more years’

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. – Tom Brady has no plans to retire anytime soon.

That means the AFC East – and the rest of the NFL, for that matter – might have to deal with the New England Patriots quarterback for a while longer.

“I’d like to play a long time, yeah, a long time,” Brady said during a conference call with New York Jets reporters Wednesday.

“There’s a lot that goes into playing well. I’ve played with a lot of great teammates, but I want to play for a long time.

Maybe 10 more years. I think that’s probably what my goal is.”

When asked if he was being serious about playing another decade, Brady insisted that is definitely his plan.

Gurley rolling for Rams despite being injured

ST. LOUIS – The past two games, Todd Gurley has 305 yards rushing. Just wait, St. Louis Rams coach Jeff Fisher said, until the rookie is 100 percent.

The 10th pick of the draft appears ahead of schedule coming off left knee surgery that cut short his final college season at Georgia. He’s wearing a brace in games to protect the knee, but that hasn’t been a hindrance, judging from the production.

“I mean, I’m fine,” Gurley said after practice Wednesday. “I’m pretty sure 100 percent of the guys in the NFL are not 100 percent and I’ve been doing fine so far. Just got to stay on top of things.”

Jaguars taking new approach to London trip

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Jacksonville Jaguars have approached their annual trip to London several different ways.

They traveled early in the week after a home game.

They flew across the pond after a road game. This week, they will arrive three days before playing Buffalo (3-3).

Although the details have varied from year to year, the Jaguars (1-5) believe they have a much better grasp on the irregular routine of being 4,200 miles from home. And they would like to finally benefit from it.

Jacksonville lost its first two games at Wembley Stadium by a combined score of 73-27.

“The last couple times it was straight massacres out there,” veteran tight end Marcedes Lewis said Wednesday. “So we’re trying to change that around.”

Smith puts up big numbers in losing cause

OWINGS MILLS, Md. – Fivetime Pro Bowl star Steve Smith is as good as he’s ever been.

The Baltimore Ravens, conversely, have never been worse.

Smith leads the Ravens with 36 catches, 510 yards receiving and three touchdowns.

Playing with several broken bones in his back, the 36-yearold caught seven passes for 137 yards and a touchdown Sunday in a 25-20 loss to San Francisco.

In spite of Smith’s play, Baltimore is 1-5 for the first time in the 20-year history of the franchise. Next up is a Monday night game at Arizona.

The Ravens’ lackluster performances have taken the shine off what Smith had hoped would be an unforgettable farewell season.

“We’re 1-5. That’s really what matters,” Smith said Wednesday. “At the end of the day, statistics are statistics.

But the record is what you’re more encouraged and proud of, and right now we’re in a deep hole and we’ve got to dig ourselves out of it.”

Bears coach John Fox yells from the sidelines during the first half Sunday against the Detroit Lions in Detroit.

Maybe Fox’s decisions were right The main topic du jour for the past several days since the Bears’ overtime loss to the Lions on Sunday is whether coach John Fox’s play-calling and clock management in crunch time were overly conservative and incompetent enough, respectively, to cost the Bears the game.

A significant majority of Bears fans seem to feel the answer to both those questions is yes, and now they’re getting testy with me and broadcasting my incompetence simply because I’m not prepared to agree with them.

Issue No. 1 in Bears Nation is why, with a four-point lead, 2:42 to play and a first down at their own 19-yard line, Fox/ Adam Gase elected to run three consecutive running plays, knowing the Lions had all three of their timeouts, which they used, resulting in the Bears running only 19 seconds off the clock and giving Detroit the ball back at its own 34 and 2:23 still to play.

The second controversy stems from the fact Detroit quickly moved to the Bears’ 2-yard line on a 34-yard pass to Theo Riddick after which Fox let an additional 10 to 12 seconds run off the clock to the two-minute warning, and

BEARS INSIDER Hub More online Arkush then a 26-yard pass to Lance Moore, after which Fox let another 30 seconds or so run off the clock with three timeouts still in his pocket.

The Bears are averaging 3.9 yards a carry on the season. It is reasonable to suggest those three runs could/ should have resulted in a first down, leaving Detroit with no timeouts and the game all but over.

Some will argue: ‘But Detroit knew the Bears were going to run, thus, making it harder to succeed.”

Really? If you thought the Bears should have thrown the ball, how could the Lions be sure they wouldn’t?

A team has two goals in that situation: Convert first downs and force the other team to exhaust its timeouts.

The Bears got half the job done.

Honestly, I was screaming for a nice, safe, easy-tocomplete play-action pass on second down at the time, but the problem there wasn’t that Fox/Gase ran the ball

Visit ChicagoFootball.com for the latest Bears and NFL news. three times, it was that their defense allowed Detroit two chunk plays for 60 yards that took less than 25 seconds off the clock immediately after.

As for Fox not using his timeouts once the Lions were knocking on the door, how limited would the Bears have been on the ensuing drive to tie the game and get to overtime with no timeouts?

As it turned out, Fox never used those timeouts, but he couldn’t have known the Lions were going to hand him two pass interference calls to stop the clock and set up the tying field goal.

Fox did exactly what Bill Belichick did in Super Bowl XLIX after Seattle got to his 5-yard line with just over a minute left, and Belichick won a ring.

You can argue the Pats got lucky, but I beg to differ. Russell Wilson made a mistake and Malcolm Butler made a fantastic play.

Had Belichick stopped the clock, with time to huddle on the sideline, would Pete Carroll have stuck with his decision not to give the ball to Marshawn Lynch?

The bottom line is if Belichick and Fox use their timeouts in those situations, they are clearly telling their defenses they expect them to fail and are planning accordingly because they can’t trust them to do their jobs.

That is not a message a coach ever wants to send either in the heat of the battle or for the lasting effect it can have on the hired help.

Please hear me when I say I’m not sure which would have been the best ways to go in those two situations.

I’m just pointing out there is no certain right or wrong.

Although, when you realize Fox got his club to overtime and gave it two more chances to win the game outright before a blown coverage on Calvin Johnson cost them the game, doesn’t that argue he actually got it right?

BEARS NOTES

McPhee sets strong example

By ARTHUR ARKUSH aarkush@chicagofootball.com LAKE FOREST – Pernell McPhee has brought more than violence to the Bears’ defense.

Chicago’s leader in sacks (four), QB hits (10) and tackles for loss (six) famously stated shortly after his arrival, “I’m violent, and that’s all you need.”

The beauty of the McPhee signing is that, inside Halas Hall, the 26-year-old’s coaches and peers believe the defense’s best player and Pernell leader is still McPhee ascending – a tribute to the work he puts in Monday through Saturday, allowing him to be fully unleashed on Sundays.

And, along with fellow starter Sam Acho – “We’re fortunate where Sam and Pernell are playing very well for us,” OLBs coach Clint Hurtt said – McPhee is elevating his teammates.

“Very serious guy – about his business, his approach to the game, about his approach to the work,” Hurtt said of McPhee.

“So it rubs off on everybody else because it’s like, OK, this guy, good player, producing, leader of the defense. If he’s doing this every day, then it puts the peer pressure on them to kind of hold their end of the candle as well and go get that done.”

It hasn’t been perfect for McPhee. Hurtt acknowledged McPhee’s costly roughing penalty that led to the Lions’ goahead touchdown in the final minute of regulation Sunday

was a teaching point.

“As soon as it happened, he knew that he made a mistake, shouldn’t have done it,” Hurtt said.

A full-time starter for the first time in his five-year career, McPhee is still refining his technique and overall rush repertoire.

“Just his consistency with footwork, leverage, usage of his hands – especially in the rush – can always get better,” Hurtt said. “And you see it, I see it on film coming on. So he’s doing a lot of good things now. He can be even better, and he will be.”

Young and Houston’s confidence builds: After coaching

Willie Young and Lamarr Houston as 4-3 ends in 2014, Hurtt sees progress and dedication from both in learning their new craft but also distinct differences in their transition to 3-4 outside linebackers.

They’ve played almost the same number of snaps – Young’s 117 are just two more than Houston – and both have notched one sack.

“I would say out of the run/ pass, Lamarr is a stouter, stud guy against the run,” Hurtt said.

“Willie, obviously slippery, brings some of the pass rush.

Obviously, his production [Young led the Bears with 10 sacks] last year speaks to that.”

Hurtt was encouraged by Young’s rushes Sunday in Detroit, saying, “It might not always look the most natural” but Young is “within one pat” of getting home.

Thus, while the production, Hurtt admits, must pick up – Chicago is tied for 18th with 11 sacks – he thinks they’re on the right path, with Young working more during games in nickel and Houston in base, and both cross-training in practice.

Bears receiver Alshon Jeffery (right) is congratulated by teammates after his 11-yard touchdown reception during the second half Sunday against the Detroit Lions in Detroit.

Groh looking forward to what receivers can do

By KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@chicagofootball.com

LAKE FOREST – Mike Groh, the one offensive assistant holdover from last year’s staff, has had his receiver group’s depth tested since training camp.

In 2013, Groh’s first season with the Bears, only three receivers had more than two catches all season long.

Through six games in 2015, five wideouts have more than six catches.

Heading into the bye, he’s looking forward to his group being healthy, for one, and then keep moving forward with the new system.

“I think we need to continue to grow in this offense,” he said. “They’ve missed a lot of time so that’s time that we need to make up quickly. It’s not like they don’t know what to do, but they need to get out here on the grass, that’s the time that we’ve missed, and hopefully, we can get that

done quickly.”

Like John Fox has alluded to when talking about the team as a whole, everything is expected to improve as players get more and more time together, and with the receiver position, that involves keeping up the timing with Jay Cutler, even if for some wideouts that should be second-nature.

The group’s best player, Alshon Jeffery, returned to the field Sunday, along with Eddie Royal, and the Bears saw what continuity – and having Jeffery on the field – can do for the offense.

“I think we saw specifically what he can do in last week’s game. We expect more of that, that’s for sure,” Groh said of Jeffery.

“This is a good fit for him offensively, the things that we do from a schematic standpoint.”

As for the wideout who has yet to play, Kevin White, Groh said that the rookie is still doing well in the classroom, working on the mental side of the game.

Bouagnon cracked 100-yard mark 4 times this year The 13 touchdowns put him at third in the NCAA leaderboard behind LSU star running back Leonard Fournette, who is the midseason favorite to win the Heisman Trophy, and Houston quarterback Greg Ward Jr., both of whom have 14.

“Getting the more bulk of the carries,” Bouagnon said of the difference this year. “I was behind Cam (Stingily) last year, so just getting the bulk of the carries is big.

When you’re No. 2, you’re waiting to get your play here and there. When you’re getting ready for a game, it’s a little different, too, because there’s more responsibility on your shoulders.”

Copeland said with the run-oriented offense Northern Illinois operates, the 6-foot-2, 226-pound who graduated from Aurora Christian has been a perfect fit in the backfield.

“Everybody who watches Huskie football knows we’re going to run the ball,” Copeland said. “That’s what

He’s a guy, whether it’s three yards and a cloud of dust or, boom,

knock off a big one for 40, 50, 60 yards, he’s able to do both.”

Copeland credits Bouagnon’s even-keel personality, being able to not get too high or too low, with the Huskies (4-3 overall, 2-1 Mid-American Conference West Division) bouncing back after a three-game losing streak earlier in the year.

Entering the season, Bouagnon’s career-high in rushing yards in a game was 97 in a lopsided win over Presbyterian in the 2014 opener. So far this year, he’s cracked more than 100 yards in four of the Huskies’ seven games – including three straight. He’s also scored multiple touchdowns in five games.

“He was confident last year, but anytime you play the amount of snaps that he has, I think you get a ton of good stuff,” Carey said.

“Physically, he’s one year older and one year stronger but mentally, definitely a ton of confidence.”

Bouagnon’s offseason didn’t go on without a hitch, though.

However, it hasn’t looked like it so far this season.

“Our training staff does a great job,” Carey said. “They identified it, they managed it and rehabbed it perfectly.”

While knee injuries tend to be major red flags for running backs, Bouagnon said he’s coming into the game against Eastern Michigan 100 percent healthy.

“When you get hurt, you don’t know what’s going to happen later in the future,” he said. “But I felt like I bounced back pretty well.”

Ye has fallen in consolation bracket the past three years • TENNIS Continued from page B1 Ye, who lost in the consolation quarterfinal a season ago, will be leading the team and is one of the best players in the area. Since her freshman year, Ye has been eliminated from the tournament in the consolation quarterfinals or the consolation sixth round.

At the Belvidere North Sectional, the senior lost one game in the eight sets she played.

Ye was hurt with a fractured ankle through sectionals and the state tournament last season, but she says she is fresh, healthy and ready to compete for a top spot.

“When I watch her play, I

think ‘who can beat her?’ But, I know she has been in these USTA tournaments where people do beat her,” Sycamore head coach Dave Hillmer said.

“I said a goal for her would be top-four this year. I don’t know where that is at because it is the luck of the draw and it depends on who is having a good day.”

Also, this is not the first time Sullivan will be competing at the state tournament.

Last season, the Spartan went 1-2 in her first state tournament after finishing third in sectionals. Ye said that Sullivan has been working very hard this season and that they cheer each other on during every match.

Johnson and Garbes fin-

ished in third place at the Belvidere North Sectional after losing to the Belvidere North doubles pair in the semifinals.

The Spartans beat their teammates Cole and Mize in the third-place match. Outside of Mize, the entire team is full of seniors and Hillmer knew that this would be Sycamore’s year.

“I think little by little they bought into that and they tried and put the effort in, and I am so proud of every one of them,” the coach said. “The parents are behind them and the school is talking it up now, and it is just such a great thing for our team.”

The other area tennis player to qualify was Green, a senior from DeKalb. This will be Green’s second trip to the

state tournament and in last season’s tournament, Green finished with a 0-2 record.

Green earned a second place at sectionals after losing to Ye in the championship match in straight sets. The senior’s overall season record this season was of 25-6. Barb head coach Beth Adeoti said Green played a lot during the offseason and improved her mental strength and composure.

“I would say her passion is a lot greater this year just because of the improvement she made in her game,” Adeoti said. “She is more confident overall. She looks like she can go out and win instead just compete against her opponents.”

They’re very organized, but we were able to find some seems. I knew it was going to be something silly that would go in our favor for us to win.”

The Barbs suffer a disappointing end to the season, but coach Brent McIntosh was pleased with his team’s play Wednesday and throughout the entire season.

“We came out strong,” McIntosh said. “I was real pleased to come out of the first half with the lead. Crystal Lake did a great job of righting their ship in the second half, and it was an unfortunate second goal we conceded. All along our focus was to keep a good shape, and I think we were able to do that. We stuck to our game play throughout the match.”

The Barbs finish their season with a 5-12-3 record. With the win, the Gators are now 118-4 and will play Cary Grove in the DeKalb regional championship match Saturday.

POSTSEASON ’15

SPORTS 5

Mets win series, 4-0

National League Championship Series: Cubs vs. Mets

GAME 4: METS 8, CUBS 3

LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES

WANTED: MORE ARMS

Wait till … well, you know.

The future, a shiny one, beckons the Cubs, but the present and the past got together Wednesday night and had another good cackle at the franchise’s expense.

That’s too bad. A team that amassed 97 victories in the regular season, won a wild-card game and sent away the Cardinals in the VIEWS postseason probably Rick Morrissey deserved better than what it got in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series. And what it got was squished.

An 8-3 loss to the New York Mets and a swept series is how this ended.

The memory of a wonderful, surprising season will reassert itself soon, but for the near future there will only be the reality of a game lost in the first inning at a very quiet Wrigley Field.

The Cubs’ challenges for the offseason were on display from the moment Jason Hammel walked to the mound Wednesday.

Wrigley fans were booing him after the Mets’ half of the first inning, which will happen when you give up four runs on back-to-back home runs in a do-or-die game. That’s how bad this was. Manager Joe Maddon pulled him after 11⁄3 innings, and the boos for the pitcher did an encore.

As for the inevitable Twitter criticism that Maddon didn’t push up Jon Lester’s start from Thursday to Wednesday, it would have been a BandAid on a boat leak. It’s not Maddon’s fault there’s no pitching depth on this team. He started Kyle Hendricks on Tuesday. The Mets “countered” with Jacob deGrom. OK? Are we clear on the talent gap between the two staffs?

Games 3 and 4 were harsh reminder to the franchise that it has lot of work to do, and that the work will require the act of spending money. It was clear the Cubs weren’t ready for the Mets and the weight of the NLCS. Hope, the official currency of the Cubs, soon will rage again in Chicago, as it should. The young Cubs – three words that should be one – made it to the NLCS. If someone saw that coming, ask that someone for lottery numbers.

Kris Bryant. Kyle Schwarber.

Cubs players acknowledge the crowd after Game 4 of the National League Championship Series against the New York Mets on Wednesday at Wrigley Field. The Mets won, 8-3, to advance to the World Series.

Addison Russell. Jorge Soler. Kids, all of them. No matter how high you think they’ll go, somebody else is pointing higher.

“It’s just the beginning,” Maddon said before Wednesday’s game.

The Cubs are going to be good for a long time, a truth the city holds to be self-evident. But nobody truly knows what’s going to happen. Club executives plan, the baseball gods laugh.

There are no coronations in this sport, and so the Cubs are going to have to deal with the Mets next season and beyond. The Mets are young, too, but have devoted their attention to starting pitching, as opposed to the Cubs’ emphasis on bats. Each would like to have something of what the other has.

Next season is not a movie featuring the Cubs and a bunch of extras. It’s not a star vehicle, and they’re not George Clooney just yet.

The future is bright, but it doesn’t shine solely on the Cubs. They will

have to deal with the Dodgers, who have Clayton Kershaw, Zack Greinke and purse strings so loose they look like twirling lassoes. They will have to deal with the Cardinals, who managed to win 100 games without Adam Wainwright for most of the season. They will have to deal with the Pirates, who won 98 games.

They have holes. That wasn’t a secret during the regular season, when they were able to make do without a true No. 3 starter. It was a gaping hole in the NLCS. They’re going to need two good starting pitchers. Will ownership finally provide a payroll that looks a little more big market-worthy? Nobody knows for sure.

The young talent deserves help.

Veteran pitching help.

“This is just the beginning for these guys,” Maddon said of Bryant, et al.

“Obviously, with good health, everybody’s looking for that. As our guys learn the game even better, primarily

I’d say offensively learn the game better, just knowing what they’re doing at the plate, what the pitcher’s trying to do to them, adjustments to be made, that’s going to be really exciting to watch over the next couple of years.

“Beyond that, defensively, I think they’re all going to be high-end, high-caliber defensive players. I really do. They’re very skillful. They’re very athletic, their work ethic is spectacular. They’re highly accountable and they’re not looking for any kind of entitlements. They’re really a different set of cats.’’

The season is done, and so are the cats.

For now, there’s next year. It will feel better than a lot of those other next years. Just not right now for the Cubs and their fans.

Maddon: ‘This is just the beginning’

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com Before the Cubs opened this playoff run that lasted three weeks into October, team president Theo Epstein took a moment to consider the value of this postseason, for this team with so much less expected when the season started – with so much more planned for the rest of the decade.

“This is really a time of innocence for us,” he said.

“Where our expectations were a little bit lower. We joked that it’s like our first record, and then things get more complicated after that.

“So this will always be a special time no matter what happens.”

In the flash of a four-game

sweep at the hands of the New York Mets, the moment is over, finished off by an 8-3 loss Wednesday night at Wrigley Field.

Now it’s back to the future in no uncertain terms for a Cubs team that got this far largely on the right arm of Jake Arrieta, the wit and vibe of first-year manager Joe Maddon and the substantial boost of three rookies who debuted after the start of the season.

“This is just the beginning,” Maddon said.

This was a team that, by most projections, was at least a year away, in development and possibly personnel, to contend. Then they became the first Cubs team in history to advance through two playoff rounds, the first to clinch a

playoff series at Wrigley Field, the first of what could be several playoff seasons with this young core of hitters.

“The lesson to be learned here now is that they’ve l e a r n e d how to win this season.

T h e y ’ v e learned how to win at the major league Joe Maddon level,” Maddon said. “They’re participating in the playoffs, with only four teams left, which is pretty impressive at their point of development.

“For me, all up to this point has been one big positive.”

By this time next month, Maddon could be the NL Man-

ager of the Year, Kris Bryant the NL Rookie of the Year and Arrieta the NL Cy Young Award winner.

And then it’s back to business. Back to work. Back to the future that will truly measure and define the work of Esptein as architect.

“This is really a good experience for everybody,” veteran catcher Miguel Montero said, pointing to the difference this fall will make next spring, especially for this year’s rookies.

“You can’t take anything for granted,” he said. “Hopefully, they feel even hungrier, and they’ll be better.”

Assuming they add the pair of starting pitchers and multiple relievers this season suggested – and the postseason

proved – they need, the Cubs are the most certain team this side of New York to be hyped as National League favorites.

“It benefits the entire organization,” Maddon said. “It validates the scouting and development. It validates what we did in spring training this year just to get to this particular point.”

And especially next spring.

“It actually helps a lot, because the guys that have never been through it before, when you talk about the minutia and how important it is, it doesn’t really resonate with them sometimes. But now having gone through this, getting the bunt down, hitting the cutoff man, being in the right position, whatever it is, it’s an easier sell.”

Gaelic Storm rolling back to the Egyptian The Egyptian Theatre will welcome back Gaelic Storm featuring a new album at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 13.

After nearly two decades and more than 3,000 live shows, Gaelic Storm — the chart-topping, multi-national Celtic band — is looking sharper than ever with its latest release, “Matching Sweaters.” The new album mixes traditional Irish music with modern influences, creating a sound that’s as wide-ranging as the band’s audience.

From bluegrass fans and country cowboys to Deadheads, rock ‘n’ rollers and Celtic fanatics, Gaelic Storm has built one of the most diverse fan bases in modern music. “Matching Sweaters” helps explain the broad appeal. Rooted in the songwriting of founding members Patrick Murphy and Steve Twigger, the album moves from drinking songs (“Another Stupid Drinking Song”) to energetic instrumentals (“The Narwhaling Cheesehead”) to rootsy pop/rock-

When it came time to write the

12 songs on “Matching Sweaters,” Murphy and Twigger teamed up with longtime friend and co-writer Steve Wehmeyer. Together, the three found inspiration in everything from old Irish newspapers

(“The Rustling Goat Gang,” whose details were gleaned from an article about a vanishing goat herd from Waterford) to bits of conversation overheard in local pubs (“Paddy’s Rubber Arm”).

In addition to writing new songs, the musicians have continued to play new markets every year, taking the chance to stretch their boundaries – and widen their audience – whenever possible.

Tickets for Gaelic Storm will go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Friday. Tickets cost $25 for adults and $20 for students and seniors. Premium tickets cost $37 for adults and $32 for students and seniors. Gold circle tickets, which are for seats directly in front of the stage, cost $65.

Reserved tickets can be purchased at www.egyptiantheatre. org, over the phone at 815-758-1225, or in person at the Egyptian Theatre Box Office.

NIU Theatre production ‘Three Sisters’ opens today It’s about an old world dying and a new one being born, Director Patricia Skarbinski said about the Northern Illinois University School of Theatre and Dance upcoming play, “Three Sisters,” by Russian playwright Anton Chekhov.

Opening today, “Three Sisters” tells the story of the Prozorov sisters, Olga, Masha and Irina and their brother Andrei, who all live on a military outpost in the large, beautiful house they inherited from their father. A brigadier general, their father left them well off and well able to maintain their membership in the elite class among the local population.

One year after their father’s death, they want nothing more than to return to the big city, Moscow, they remember from their youth.

Acutely aware of their superior status, they have tired of living amongst smalltown folk with no ambition or appreciation of the finer things in life that they remembered of their former lives.

Although they could have packed and left the

garrison town at any time, they don’t.

According to Skarbinski, even the sisters don’t know why they stay. Instead of following their dream, the siblings make life tolerable by mingling with the only friends they have, and the only people who are of their class, the military officers of the artillery unit.

“This play deals with human nature,” Skarbinski said in a news release. “We think we are aware and in control, but we have unconscious forces governing us from within and we’re not even aware of it.”

Skarbinski believes the main character in the play is actually time itself, and the inevitability of life.

“Things will come to pass and we cannot control (them),” she said in the release. “When Chekhov was writing, Victorian values were dying and a whole new world was coming about.”

Nevertheless, according to Skarbinski, people are the same, whether in the Victorian period or now.

“Here we are 15 years into the 21st century and we feel our old world dying ... its changing values, its changing the way people live their lives, its changing what’s important,” she said.

One of Chekhov’s final two plays, “Three Sisters” is considered a masterpiece of world literature and is presented in productions by theater companies across the globe.

“Three Sisters” runs Oct. 22 through 25, and Oct. 29 through 31. Performances are at Huntley Middle School Auditorium, 1515 S. Fourth St. in DeKalb. Curtain times are 7:30 p.m. weekdays and Saturdays, 2 p.m. Sunday and Saturday, Oct. 31. There is no late seating.

Tickets cost $17 for adults, $14 for seniors and $9 for students. Ticket reservations or additional information is available by contacting the NIU School of Theatre and Dance box office at 815-753-1600 or visiting the School of Theatre and Dance website at www.niu.edu/theatre.

4 ADVICE & PUZZLES • Thursday, October 22, 2015 • Section C • Daily Chronicle / Daily-Chronicle.com

Old habits die hard during woman’s transition to a man Dear Abby: My daughter has been in a lesbian relationship for 14 years. They recently took me to lunch and informed me her partner, “Nicole,” is in the process of transitioning to a male.

Nicole has now legally changed her name to “Nick” and has begun hormone treatments. They have been going to counseling for the past six months. Since Nick began the transition, I have seen him three times. Last week when I was visiting, I accidentally called Nick by the wrong pronoun, “she” instead of “he,” a couple of times. I was either immediately corrected or ignored until I realized I had used the wrong word. It hurt my feelings.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips After I got home, I sent Nick a text to apologize and explain it would take time for me to get used to saying “Nick” and referring to him as a he. I told them their correcting me bothered me.

All weekend I could tell they were irritated with me, and I felt it was uncalled for.

What do you say? Am I wrong to feel hurt they haven’t given me a chance to get used to the new name? –

Margaret In Mississippi Dear Margaret: Adjusting

to gender reassignment takes time for all concerned.

As your letter illustrates, there often are more people involved than the individual making the change.

It seems only natural you would need some time to adjust.

However, it also seems to me you are being overly sensitive about what happened.

Your daughter and her partner were right to correct you for your slip of the tongue, and it wasn’t rude for them to do so. How else is a person to learn a mistake was made if it isn’t pointed out?

Dear Abby: Recently, 12 of us women from a retirement home in Dayton were having lunch at a local steakhouse.

As we were digging in our purses for money and coupons, our server informed us

we did not owe anything for our bills. He said a gentleman who had been seated nearby had taken care of what we owed. It seems the day we were there was his late mother’s birthday.

There are some very good people in this world. We want him to know how very much we appreciated his kind gesture, and we have pledged to “pay it forward” whenever we can. – Blessed In Ohio Dear Blessed: I don’t know who originated this saying, but your letter certainly proves the truth of it: A good deed is like a pebble thrown into a pond; its ripples continue ever outward. Thank you for an upper of a letter.

Dear Abby: We were visiting our son and daughter-in-

law last weekend. When I had to use the facilities downstairs, I told her the hand towel was missing. I had used that bathroom the day before.

Guess what she said? “Well, that’s what pants are for.”

Abby, she wasn’t joking.

We see them only twice a year because we live five hours away. Could they be short of money or what?

Should I send her some hand towels? – Wet Hands In Wis-

consin Dear Wet Hands: By all

means. And don’t forget a short, sweet note thanking her for her “hospitality.”

Nit comb, medicinal shampoo effective in treating lice Dear Dr. K: A child in my daughter’s classroom has head lice. What do I need to do if my daughter gets it?

Dear Reader: Lice – the visitor dreaded by parents everywhere.

Head lice are small insects that infest hair on people’s heads. A single insect is called a “louse.” The female lays up to 100 eggs, or nits, at a time. She secretes a kind of glue that attaches the nits onto strands of hair near the scalp. Once the eggs hatch, their six legs allow them to grasp and wander between hairs. In their remaining days or weeks of life, they feed on human blood. They’re sort of like vampires, only much smaller. (I’ve put an

This sometimes requires combing several times a week until no lice are seen for two or more weeks. It is possible through careful combing to illustration of a louse on my remove all of the lice, without website, AskDoctorK.com.)

as a shampoo, then washed off about 10 minutes later.

A second treatment is often necessary about 10 days later. When you wash off the pediculicides from your daughter’s hair, do it over the sink, not in a shower or tub. That’s because you want to minimize splashing the pediculicide on skin outside the head. It’s easier to control where the rinse water goes in the sink.

Head lice are acquired by direct contact with an infested person’s hair.

It’s unusual for head lice to be transferred by shared combs, brushes, hats or other hair accessories.

Head lice are also not usually found on clothes, towels and bed linens. Still, you may

want to change any items that were recently in direct contact with your daughter’s hair and wash them in hot water.

Head lice do not transmit infections. In other words, they are not like the ticks or mosquitos which carry bacteria or viruses that can infect humans.

Finally, despite what many people believe, head lice are neither caused by, nor are a sign of, poor hygiene or housekeeping. They’re just something a person (usually a child) can pick up – and something you can cure.

Don’t return to abusive husband until he gets professional help Dr. Wallace: My husband and I were high school sweethearts and we were married the year after we graduated.

He was a real nice kid in high school, and I thought he was the nicest guy on this Earth when we were dating.

I dreamed about marrying him even when we were still in high school. I think I fell in love with him because he was so sweet, and he was a perfect husband for the first six months of our marriage. We both found good jobs, saved our money and had planned our future together.

Then one day when he was watching a Chicago Bears game on TV, he wanted to eat in the living room instead of the dining room.

I had the table set already

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace and I preferred to eat at the table rather than risk spilling food on our new couch. So I said, “Let’s just eat here instead.” I was taken aback when he yelled at me and told me to shut up, that he could eat anywhere he wanted to because it was his house.

So he ate in the living room and I ate at the table.

When I finished I went to sit by him on the couch, but he told me to get lost. This made me feel bad, so I told him to get lost and that the house and the couch belonged to me as much as to him.

HOROSCOPE

The next thing I knew he went ballistic and grabbed me by my arms and pushed me to the floor yelling, “Don’t you ever speak to me that way again, or I’ll put you in the hospital for a week!”

He really scared me, and he looked and acted like a complete stranger. When I tried to get up he kicked me and knocked me down again.

I started crying, and he then kicked a chair and stormed out of the house and slammed the door really hard.

Then he drove away in our car. I didn’t know what to do, so I called my parents and they came right over and took me home to their house.

My mother had to calm my father down because he was so angry that he threatened to

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – You will be rewarded for your dedication. Don’t slack off just because your colleagues are doing less than you are. Your fine reputation and strong work ethic will serve you now and in the future.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – If you share your concepts with peers and friends, you’ll discover a way to turn something you enjoy doing into a paying gig. Romance is on the horizon.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – A personal struggle is apparent. Don’t try to pretend that nothing is wrong. No one is immune to problems. An honest, open discussion will help you find a workable solution.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Change is heading your way. A partnership will undergo a transformation, and a joint venture or collaboration looks promising. Social events will lead to valuable associations.

go after Karl. I’ve been at my parents’ house for a couple of days now. I went to work, but I haven’t been home.

When Karl finally called yesterday he apologized and told me that he loves me and won’t ever hurt me again. I believe him and I think I should give him another chance and return home. My parents do not see things this way. They think I should call the police and have him arrested and then start divorce proceedings. T hey believe that he is an abuser who will continue to abuse me and then apologize after each abuse. I’ve heard about things like this, but now I’m really confused and don’t know what to do. I’d like to hear your advice in this

seems to have an emotional problem that is out of control at this time. Do not return home until he admits he has a problem, and agrees to seek professional help. Rarely can someone with this type of emotional disturbance overcome it alone. And generally for those who won’t admit they have a problem, the recovery rate is zero.

If he refuses to get help, take your parents’ advice and end the marriage. If you don’t, you could spend your life being a battered wife.

CROSSWORD

Two uppercut rules to keep in mind A button at the interesting Computer Museum in Boston says, “Usenet isn’t a right.

It’s a right, a left, and a swift uppercut to the jaw.”

Yesterday, we looked at the bridge uppercut, but there are two important aspects that must be kept in mind by the defenders – both relevant in this deal.

South is in four hearts.

How should the defenders card to defeat the contract?

Be precise.

As in yesterday’s column, fourth hand made a natural overcall in opener’s minor.

North was right to bid two hearts with four-card support, despite his minimum.

West starts with the diamond ace: eight, 10, seven.

West cashes the diamond queen: nine, three, six. What now?

This deal was played in a three-table social duplicate.

The first West continued with his diamond king. East, thinking that this would win the trick, discarded a low spade. South ruffed, drew trumps, conceded a spade trick, and claimed.

At the second table, West carefully led a low diamond at trick three, which his partner ruffed with the heart jack. Momentarily, this looked like a lethal uppercut, gaining a trump trick for the defenders. However, South calmly discarded his spade loser and made his contract.

The third West knew that when you try for an uppercut, you should cash all of your side-suit tricks first. Before the third diamond, West took his spade ace.

Then he also carefully led a low diamond to force his partner to ruff, and the contract went down one. South lost two diamonds, one spade and one heart.
