ALS, the disease behind the fadIce bucket challenge has raised awareness, lots of cashBy KATIE DAHLSTROM
SYCAMORE – Dean Paynethinks it will be only a matterof time before he develops adebilitating, fatal disease.
The disease Payne expectsis amyotrophic lateral sclero-sis, more commonly known asALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease.Payne, a Sycamore resident,has lost 20 family membersto the disease, including hisgrandfather, father and broth-er. Two of his family memberscurrently are living with ALS.
“When I get up in the
morning,” Payne said. “it’s agreat day.”
Payne was amazed whenhe started seeing peopledumping buckets of frigidice water over their heads toraise awareness – and money– to combat the disease thathas plagued his family for de-cades.
By Friday, the viral chal-lenge sweeping social mediahad generated millions of do-nations for the ALS Associa-tion, bringing in more than
$100 million. More than mon-ey, the philanthropic trendhas spurred more awarenessabout a disease that affects asmany as 30,000 people nation-wide.
Julie Sharpe, the execu-tive director of the ALS As-sociation’s Chicago chaptersaid during the same timelast year, the organizationreceived $2.7 million in dona-tions. The flurry of money hasundoubtedly come as a resultof the ALS ice bucket chal-
lenge, she said.The money will go toward
funding research, providingcare and services and advo-cacy and education for the in-curable disease.
“It will be seen as a realgame-changer for this cause,”Sharpe said.
A French neurologist firstdiscovered ALS in 1869, butit didn’t receive internation-al attention until 1939, whenHall of Fame baseball playerLou Gehrig was diagnosed.
Gehrig, whose durabilityearned him the nickname“The Iron Horse,” died at age37, two years after his diagno-sis. Today, most people stilldie within two to five years,Sharpe said.
According to the ALS As-sociation, motor neurons,which reach from the brainto the spinal cord, and fromthe spinal cord to the musclesthroughout the body, progres-sively deteriorate in patientswith ALS. As neurons die,
the brain loses the ability tocontrol muscle movement. Pa-tients in the later stages of thedisease could become com-pletely paralyzed.
At 53, Payne is almostthe oldest living man in hisfamily. His grandfather died50 years ago at the age of 53.Payne’s father died at 46.Payne’s brother, Dave, diedat 36.
He paused a moment whenthinking about seeing hisbrother suffer through thedisease.

Second-grade teacher Jen McCormick passes out library books that her class checked out earlier Friday at West Elementary in Sycamore. McCormickworked closely with former Principal Mary Currie, who was an advocate of literacy in the classroom. Currie lost her battle with cancer in April 2013 at age59, but West Elementary teachers say she has left a legacy.

SYCAMORE – JenniferMcCormick remembersvery well bumbling aroundas a new teacher more than20 years ago, making mess-es and trying to get thingsright.
In her first year, she at-tempted a paper macheproject in West Elementa-ry School, 240 S. Fair St.,which started to go wrong.A goopy mess built up rightin front of the office of Prin-cipal Mary Currie, ruiningthe floor.
“I was trying to cleanit up, and [Currie] was onher hands and knees try-ing to clean it up, too, andshe didn’t get mad. Shejust knew,” McCormick
said. “Just like when youhave a kid who needs some-body to lead them along, sheknew I was like the kid ofthe staff. I was younger thaneverybody else, and I wasdoing screwups like thatconstantly. She just keptnurturing the good parts,even of those mistakes, justlike a good teacher.”
McCormick said she feelslike lessons she learnedfrom Currie years ago arestill put into action with herown classes to this day.
Currie lost her bat-tle with cancer in April2013 at age 59, but West El-ementary teachers said shehas left a legacy that hastouched every building in

Parents ofill boy fightextraditionfrom Spain
By DANICA KIRKAand MARIA CHENGThe Associated Press
LONDON – The parents say they wantto give their 5 year-old-boy with a braintumor the best chance to live with a rev-olutionary new treatment they learnedabout on the Internet. Their British hos-pital said the boy has a 70 percent to 80percent chance of survival with the treat-ment it offers, and it’s the parents whoare putting the child at risk.
Britain has become riveted by thecase of little Ashya King, whose parentsplucked him from a hospital in southernEngland and fled to Spain amid a disputeover treatment – withBritish justice close onthe family’s heels.
Brett and NaghemehKing signaled Mondaythey would fight extradi-tion, defying doctors andthe legal system as a Brit-ish court considers a rul-ing on forcing the family to come home.
“I’m not coming back to England if Icannot give him the treatment I want,which is proper treatment,” Brett Kingsaid as he cradled the child in a videoposted before his arrest. “I just want pos-itive results for my son.”
The Kings are seeking a new type ofproton beam radiation therapy that typ-ically costs at least $33,000. The South-ampton General Hospital said that moreconventional methods have a very highchance of succeeding. It said that whileproton beam therapy is effective for sometumors, in other cases “there isn’t evi-dence that this is a beneficial treatment.”
The family fled to Spain in hopes ofselling a property to obtain enough cashfor treatment in the Czech Republic or theUnited States. Police pursued them. Pros-ecutors issued an arrest warrant for an of-fence of cruelty to a person under the ageof 16 years, hours after the Southamptonhospital realized their patient was gone.
British authorities traveled to Spainto question the couple. Assistant ChiefConstable Chris Shead, of HampshireConstabulary, has said he would ratherbe criticized for being “proactive” ratherthan trying to explain later “why a childhas lost his life.”
The hospital’s medical director, Dr.Michael Marsh, issued a statement lateMonday saying that the treatment wasdiscussed with the family.
He put the chances Ashya survivingunder the hospital’s treatment at 70 per-cent to 80 percent after five years. Heexpressed sadness that communicationwith the family had broken down andthat “for whatever reason they have lostconfidence in us.”

Thoughts on preservingAnnie’s old farmhouse
Note to readers: Columnist BarrySchrader is a co-founder of the new-ly formed group The Annie GliddenAgrarian Society, which has as its goalthe preservation and renovation of theAnnie Glidden-Oderkirk farm homeand nearby carriage house immediatelysouth of the Barsema Alumni & Visi-tors Center on the NIU campus alongAnnie Glidden Road.
There is Annie Oakley, the cowgirlsharpshooter, Orphan Annie of comicstrip fame, and then DeKalb County’sAnnie Glidden, pioneer family member,farmer and community activist, memo-rialized in a mural on the wall of thebuilding on Lincoln Highway near itsintersection with North First Street.
Through local historian and authorSteve Bigolin, I have come to know alot more about Annie Glidden and herlife in the DeKalb community. She wasborn in 1865, 150 years ago come July.She died at age 97 in 1962 way out inPasadena, California, then was laid torest in Fairview Cemetery at the south-ern edge of DeKalb.
As Bigolin said, Annie was an icon-oclast. She was very independent anddetermined to succeed at whatever sheattempted, attending two colleges in thelate 1800s, earning a degree in agricul-ture from Cornell University in NewYork state. Fortunately for Annie andher siblings, their uncle Joseph Glid-den wanted a better life for his familyand financed their education throughcollege.
She came back home where herbrother John was building a statelybrick mansion uphill from AltgeldHall, which had just opened for classes.Annie and her family could look out thewindows of their second-story bed-rooms and see the magnificent “castle”at the western edge of DeKalb. Her un-cle named a wooded plot along the Kish-waukee River just north of Lucinda andMiller streets “Annie’s Woods” becauseit was where she enjoyed spending timewith her friends. Later she, along withthe DeKalb Women’s Club, donated the
land as a park, which still exists today.Annie took over the house and
farm at 253 N. Annie Glidden Road in1906 when her brother moved to UncleJoseph’s homestead on West LincolnHighway after the death of the barbed-wire baron. Annie spent the next 20or so years farming the acreage andraising her nephew, Glidden Switzer,after Annie’s sister died in childbirth.Tragically, young Glidden accidentallydrowned at about age 12 while the fami-ly was vacationing at a Wisconsin lake.Annie’s farm was later sold to the BurtOderkirk family in 1930.
So Steve Bigolin and I thought itonly fitting that the community anduniversity should collaborate on a proj-ect to save the endangered farmsteadand carriage house that are ownedtoday by the NIU Foundation, underlease for the past 30 years with the uni-versity. The buildings have been emptythe past 10 years and face an uncertainfuture if they are not reroofed and pro-tected from the elements soon.
NIU President Douglas Baker hasheard our plea and offered us thechance to come up with a plan bymid-September to preserve, renovateand find a useful purpose for the
113-year-old brick house and its adja-cent outbuilding.
We are working diligently to try andpartner with college student organiza-tions, community groups, historical so-cieties and agricultural organizations.DeKalb Mayor John Rey sees potentialfor a “communiversity” collabora-tive usage and we are pursuing thatpossibility. Of course the college andits foundation would rather not spenda couple of hundred thousand dollarsto restore it to pristine condition, sowe need to find ways of funding partsof it, coordinating a volunteer group ofcraftspeople for its restoration, obtain-ing donated materials, and getting theplan accepted by Baker and the Founda-tion.
That is a daunting challenge withonly weeks to go, so we set up a websiteat www.anniehouse.org with pertinentinformation and photos of the twostructures. Take a look and join with usif you are interested in helping pre-serve this heritage site.

Pro-Russian rebels lower demands in peace talksBy VLADIMIR ISACHENKOV
and JIM HEINTZThe Associated Press
MOSCOW – Pro-Russian rebels soft-ened their demand for full independenceMonday, saying they would respectUkraine’s sovereignty in exchange forautonomy – a shift that reflects Mos-cow’s desire to strike a deal at a newround of peace talks.
The insurgents’ platform, releasedat the start of Monday’s negotiations inMinsk, the Belarusian capital, repre-sented a significant change in their vi-sion for the future of Ukraine’s eastern,mainly Russian-speaking region.
It remains unclear, however, whetherthe talks can reach a compromise amidthe brutal fighting that has continuedin eastern Ukraine. On Monday, the reb-els pushed Ukrainian government forcesfrom an airport near Luhansk, the sec-ond-largest rebel-held city, the latest in aseries of military gains.
The peace talks in Minsk come af-ter last week’s meeting between Rus-sian President Vladimir Putin and hisUkrainian counterpart, Petro Poros-henko. The negotiations involve formerUkrainian President Leonid Kuchma;Russia’s ambassador to Ukraine; an en-voy from the Organization for Securityand Cooperation in Europe and repre-sentatives of the rebels.
Yet similar talks earlier this summer
produced no visible results.
Unlike the previous rounds, this
time rebels said in a statement carriedby Russia’s state-run RIA Novosti newsagency that they are willing to discuss“the preservation of the united eco-nomic, cultural and political space ofUkraine.” In return, they demanded acomprehensive amnesty and broad localpowers that would include being able toappoint their own local law enforcementofficials.
This deal is only for eastern Ukraine.There are no negotiations on handingback Crimea, the Black Sea peninsulathat Russia annexed in March, a movethat cost Ukraine several major ports,half its coastline and untold billions inBlack Sea oil and mineral rights.
The talks lasted for several hours
Monday and were adjourned until Fri-day, when the parties are to discuss acease-fire and an exchange of prisoners,rebel negotiator Andrei Purgin said, ac-cording to RIA Novosti.
The rebels’ more moderate negotiat-ing platform appeared to reflect Putin’sdesire to make a deal that would allowRussia to avoid more punitive Westernsanctions while preserving a significantdegree of leverage over its neighbor.
Over the weekend, European Unionleaders agreed to prepare a new roundof sanctions that could be enacted ina week, after NATO accused Russia ofsending tanks and troops into southeast-ern Ukraine. A NATO summit Thurs-day in Wales is also expected to approvemeasures designed to counter Russia’saggressive actions in Ukraine.
Earlier, Russian Foreign Minis-ter Sergey Lavrov said participants inMonday’s talks needed to push for animmediate, unconditional cease-fire. Herejected claims by the Ukrainian gov-ernment, NATO and Western nationsthat Russia has already sent troops,artillery and tanks across Ukraine’ssoutheast border to reinforce the sepa-ratists.
“There will be no military interven-tion,” Lavrov told students at MoscowState Institute of International Rela-tions on Monday, the first day of classesfor schools and universities across Rus-
sia. “We call for an exclusively peace-
ful settlement of this severe crisis, this
tragedy.”

Swimmers bid summer goodbyeBy JESSI HAISH
and KATIE [email protected]
DeKALB – Erin Andrewsbrought her family to HopkinsPool one last time Monday be-fore the end of summer.
Andrews, of DeKalb, hasbeen going to the pool off andon throughout the summerwith her children, and she’sgoing to miss the summerdays.
“I’m sad to see summer go,”Andrews said. “I like the warmweather much more than fall.”
Hopkins Pool was openfor the last day of the seasonMonday. Labor Day marks theend of summer for staff at thepool. By that time, most of the65 seasonal staff members areback in school, as are a bulk ofthe regular visitors.
Scott deOliveira, facilityand marketing supervisor forthe DeKalb Park District saidthis summer was a little slow-er than usual because of coolweather.
“Despite the cooler tem-peratures, we had a pretty sol-id summer,” deOliveira said.
This year, the pool hosted32,000 visitors. Last year, thepool had 34,000, about 10,000fewer than the summer of2012 when the visitor counthit 43,500. The summer of 2012
was unusually hot, causingthe spike in visits, deOliveirasaid.
Sandi Rease, the aquaticssupervisor for the Genoa ParkDistrict, said this year theChamberlain Park pool had8,500 visitors, about 200 fewerthan last year.
The pool was open forone week less this year thanit was last because of snowdays, Rease said. ChamberlainPark Pool is only open when
Genoa-Kingston District 424schools are not in session. Thisyear, the pool closed Aug. 17.
A closed pool doesn’t takeRease’s mind off warmermonths. She’s already comingup with ideas to make nextswimming season better.
“I am constantly think-ing about next summer evenbefore summer ends,” Reasesaid.
However, this weekendmarked the beginning of fall
as well, as Jonamac Orchardhad its opening weekend. Theorchard features opportuni-ties to navigate through a cornmaze, pick apples and takehayrides, among other activ-ities.
Jeff Bauer, of DeKalb, wasat Hopkins Pool on Mondaywith his family, but said he’slooking forward to fall. Hesaid the family regularly visitsJonamac Orchard so his kidscan play.
Andrews said her childrenenjoy completing the cornmaze when they visit.
Denice McArtor, one of theowners of the family business,said plenty of preparation isdone when a business hasn’tbeen open for 10 months. Shesaid although the on-site storehas been open for a few weeks,the 10-acre corn maze and ac-tivities just opened this week-end.
“It’s also our 30th year ofbeing in business,” McArtorsaid. “So it’s part of our designfor our corn maze.”
She said the petting zoo isa new addition this year. Thisyear the orchard is also offer-ing apple wine for the firsttime, after a large apple croplast year.
“We have activities for fam-ilies now before we get intoour crowded season,” McAr-tor said. “Our season alwaysstarts slow and peaks at theend of September, first part ofOctober.”

Obama: Economy boostcalls for higher wages
By JIM KUHNHENNThe Associated Press
MILWAUKEE – PresidentBarack Obama renewed hispush for Congress to raisethe minimum wage Mondayin a buoyant accounting ofthe economy’s “revving”performance, delivered onbehalf of Democrats openingtheir fall campaigns for themidterm congressional elec-tions.
“America deserves araise,” he told a union crowdin Milwaukee, vowing tokeep a hard sell on Congressin much the way he oncecourted his wife.
“I just wore her down,” hecracked.
Timing his push to LaborDay, the traditional startof the autumn campaign,Obama aggressively drewattention to recent economic
gains, setting aside past cau-tion on that subject.
“By almost every measurethe American economy andAmerican workers are betteroff than when I took office,”he said, rattling off a string ofimproving economic indica-tors even while acknowledg-ing not all people are benefit-ing. “The engines,” he said,“are revving a little louder.”
It was, at least indirectly, apep talk for Democrats facingtough races in a nation stillgripped with economic anx-ieties.
The emphasis on the min-imum wage is designed todraw campaign contrastswith Republicans, many ofwhom maintain that an in-crease would hurt small busi-nesses and slow down hiring.No one expects Congress toact on it before the Novemberelections.
Patients tostart applyingfor medicalmarijuana
The ASSOCIATED PRESS
SPRINGFIELD – One unan-swered question about a newstate law legalizing medicalmarijuana is just how manyIllinois residents will actuallyask for permission to use it.
The extent of the demandshould start to become clearertoday as agencies begin accept-ing applications from patientsor their registered caregivers.
For now, only those withlast names beginning withletters “A’’ through “L’’ canapply until Oct. 31. Other pa-tients must wait until Nov. 1before submitting applica-tions.
The Springfield bureau ofLee Enterprises reports thatsome estimates were that asmany as 100,000 Illinois resi-dents could qualify.
Sheila Porter, a spokes-woman for the Illinois Depart-ment of Public Health, said inan email that the agency wasexpecting the number of appli-cants to run into the thousandsover the next four months.
“This will build over timeas more physicians sign therequired paperwork for pa-tients,” she said.
Under the law, adopted bylawmakers in 2013, patientsmust have a prescription fromtheir physician and get a back-ground check. The state mustrespond to a completed appli-cation within 30 days.
To ensure they can handleapplications, Porter said stateagencies involved in the pro-cess – including the Depart-ment of Agriculture and theDepartment of Financial andProfessional Regulation – arehiring more workers.
DeKalb City Council tightens video gaming rulesBy KATIE DAHLSTROM
DeKALB – DeKalb alder-men added a new restrictionthat will guarantee videogambling terminals won’tpop up in restaurants acrossDeKalb.
The machines will be al-lowed in bars, as well as inplaces such as bowling alleys,hotels and banquet facilities,but not in restaurants underthe changes to the liquor codethe City Council approvedthis week.
First Ward Alderman Da-vid Jacobson said he voted infavor of the change because itlimits the machines to plac-es that have age restrictions.He also supported limitingwhere machines can operatebecause of the effect on thecity’s image.
“It can very quickly get outof hand when you don’t havesome regulations in place,”
Jacobson said. “Do you reallywant slot machines in everysingle place you go in to? Ithink it looks tacky.”
Mayor John Rey echoedJacobson’s sentiments aboutwanting to limit the prev-alence of the gambling ma-chines. Rey said he didn’twant gambling machinesto flourish in restaurants,which should be a family set-ting.
“In my mind,” Rey said.“I think we wanted to setparameters according to the
atmosphere we wanted tohave.”
The council’s discussionearlier this month aboutRay’s Chicago BBQ andSlots led city staff to proposechange the rules on videogambling. The owners of thebusiness at 870 W. LincolnHighway had planned to ap-ply for a combination bar andrestaurant license, with theintent of applying for a videogambling license later. Theychanged their application toa bar-only liquor license, not-ing the importance of videogaming to their business.
The only state require-ments for obtaining a videogaming license are that abusiness have a liquor li-cense and its ownership havea clean background check.
Local law requires estab-lishments to be licensed aswell. Owners are requiredto submit a floor plan show-ing the exact locations of the
terminals and pay the city ofDeKalb $25 for each machine.
Reports from the IllinoisGaming Board show that inJuly, there were 46 terminalsoperating out of 12 estab-lishments in DeKalb. Thoseterminals brought in nearly$127,000 for the month. UnderIllinois’ video gaming law,vendors and the establish-ment where the gaming de-vice is located split 70 percentof the revenue collected bythe machines, 25 percent goesto the state and 5 percent goesto the municipality.
DeKalb’s change bringsthe city’s regulations closerin line with regulations inSycamore, where City Man-ager Brian Gregory said vid-eo gambling machines arelimited to places such as barsand bowling alleys.
Sycamore also had 46 ter-minals in July, according to areport from the Illinois Gam-ing Board.
“It can very quickly get
out of hand when you
don’t have some
regulations in place.”

“You have this helplessfeeling,” Payne said. “All youcan do is be there.”
Sharpe said she’s seencourage and joy among thefamilies that she’s helped inthe past decade.
“Our worst days are putinto perspective everyday,”Sharpe said.
Payne hasn’t been test-ed for the gene indicatingif he will develop the dis-ease, which often shows it-self in people between theages of 40 to 70. He worrieshis daughters, who are bothin their 20s, will develop it.But with the money pouringin because of the ice bucketchallenge, he also has hoperesearchers will find a cure
in his daughters’ lifetimes.
He also knows even that
after the fad has disappeared
from Facebook feeds, the bat-
tle will continue.“The people who are rais-
ing money are going to con-tinue to do it,” Payne said.“The people who are doingthe research are going to con-tinue doing research oncethe ice bucket challenge goesaway.”
the district, especially at West,where she spent 18 years as theprincipal.
Teachers who worked withher formed a committee to de-vise ways to remember herthroughout the building, in-cluding statues of children read-ing and painting a hallway withCurrie’s slogan and philosophyfor the school: “Whatever ittakes.” The projects are fundedby donations, and haven’t beenfinished yet.
Rene Hoeve, an English Lan-guage Learner teacher, saidCurrie could always step intoother roles as needed, wheth-er it be a custodian, teacher orparaeducator, which is where“whatever it takes” came from.
“If you think about the termleading by example, she couldhave been the poster child forthat,” Hoeve said.
Teacher Katie Algrim saidshe will never forget a night ear-ly in her career when she real-ized she forgot to inform Brook-field Zoo that her class would bevisiting. It was midnight, justhours before the planned trip,when she made the realization.
“At one in the morning, Iwas puking because I was soupset,” Algrim said. “I didn’tknow what to do. I had all theseparents coming, and all thesekids were so excited to go tothe zoo. My husband said, justcall Mary. So I did and she said,‘Worst case scenario, I’ll justpay for you guys all to get in.The buses are already comingout, I’ll just take care of it.’ ThenI could sleep. That’s how shewas. She always came through.”
As much time as Curriespent filling in any role that was
necessary, the biggest projectshe took to heart was literacy inthe classrooms, by making sureevery student was a confident,always improving reader, saidteacher Pam Webb.
McCormick said when itcame to the importance of read-ing, Currie didn’t just talk thetalk, but put measures intoplace as well.
“She could say, ‘Here aremy action steps to make sureit happens,’ ” McCormicksaid. “She took the steps. We’regoing to get more books in ourclassrooms. She got literacyfacilitators before it was thecool thing to do. She did thosethings, always taking thingsand bringing them to fruition.That was so important to us and
the school.”Teacher Jolene Ward said
she thinks the literacy empha-sis may have stemmed fromCurrie’s own love of reading.
“She read everything,”Ward said. “She read articles,journal articles, professionalbooks. She would put an articlein your mailbox if it remindedher of you. Being so well readis one of things that I took fromher.”
Committee members havealready purchased the stat-ues of children reading for theschool’s courtyard. Painting ofa hallway will begin in about amonth.
West School Organization,the parent-teacher organiza-tion, has also planted a tree in
Currie’s honor, and renameda scholarship in her honor.Southeast Elementary has do-nated a rocking chair to the li-brary that bears her name.
Many of the committeemembers said they saved oldnotes and emails from her.Most notes offer praise, rec-ognition or advice. Each wassigned, “Fondly, Mar,” Webbsaid.
“I think that’s what en-couraged us as a committee tocome together, to not let thatgo,” Webb said. “She was whatmade West, West. We neededto come together to do some-thing not only to honor her, butalso to keep us focused on whatis so very important about ourtask at hand as teachers.”

Body shop manager pays a good deed forwardBy ANDREA AZZO
DeKALB – After about 25 years,DeKalb Sycamore Collision Centermanager Dan Paulsen is finally pay-ing it forward.
About 1989, Paulsen’s car brokedown, so a friend from work boughthim an engine and installed it forfree. Now, Paulsen is repairingDeKalb resident Mandy Grogan’s2002 Toyota Avalon, which was dam-aged in a car accident, completely onthe house.
“I was in bad times before. Some-one helped me out, which meant theworld to me,” Paulsen said. “I knowthe feeling. It’s good.”
This is the first time DeKalbSycamore Collision Center, 420 OakSt., DeKalb, was able to cover theentire cost of a repair, Paulsen said.Grogan’s car has an estimated $6,200in damage mostly to the rear on thepassenger’s side. So far, Paulsen hasreplaced the quarter panel, rear lightsand suspension system in addition torepairing the passenger rear door.
The Rydell Group owns the
DeKalb Sycamore Collision Centeras well as about 80 other car deal-erships in the U.S., so there wasenough money to cover the cost ofthe repairs, Paulsen said.
The gesture came at the right timefor Grogan, who was laid off fromher job at a St. Charles coffee shopjust before the July 28 car accident.Grogan said she was driving alongSycamore Road and caused the acci-dent near Greenwood Acres Drive inDeKalb when she drove into a turnlane as a pickup truck was coming.
Grogan’s car insurance denied
covering the cost of repairing her car,which is worth about $7,000. WhenGrogan told Paulsen about her finan-cial situation, she said she did notexpect that the car dealership wouldcover the complete cost of the repairs.
“I feel so completely grateful itoccurred,” she said. “For all the badstuff that has happened, this was thelight in a lot of the darkness.”
Grogan has set up a payment planto pay the $5,000 the pickup truckdriver is owed as a result of thecrash, she said.
Paulsen expects to finish repair-
ing Grogan’s car within the next twoweeks. He still needs to finish thebody work and paint the car. Eventhough he is doing this all for free,he said not every customer shouldexpect similar handouts.
“I saw a desperate need to helpsomebody out,” he said. “Someoneneeds to help her out. It’s not some-thing we’ll be doing all the time.”
That makes Grogan even moregrateful.
“What do you do besides just saythank you forever and ever?” shesaid.

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.THE FIRSTAMENDMENT
Nation of privilege is undermining the rule of law
Probably the most persuasive argument against U.S.action on global warming is China. No U.S.-only initia-tive can stop the planet from warming. Any effectiveresponse to climate change will require broad, interna-tional effort.
All true. But such coordination is not as out of reachas many believe. It is quite possible – if the UnitedStates does its part.
The European Union has been shrinking its carbonfootprint for years, proof that the United States will notbe cutting emissions alone. A 2013 study of 33 majornations found a broad move toward environmentalprotection in places such as Japan, Mexico and SouthKorea. Developed nations alone can have a noticeableeffect: A Council of Economic Advisers study lastmonth noted that the climate-change response will be alot less expensive if developed countries start now andothers catch up than if no one starts now.
But large developing countries can and should beexpected to act, too. At the 2009 Copenhagen climateconference, China agreed to moderate but seriousreductions in its economy’s carbon intensity – howmuch carbon dioxide it produces for every unit of grossdomestic product – a result possible only because Presi-dent Barack Obama brought a carbon-cutting pledge tothe table. If countries merely sustain their Copenhagencommitments, that alone will bend the global emissionscurve down, a 2013 MIT analysis found.
Since Copenhagen, China has offered a mixedpicture, not confirmation that it will do nothing. Thecountry has built coal-fired plants, but its rulers are alsoinvesting in nuclear power, experimenting with carbonpricing and emphasizing environmental considerationswith increasing urgency. The government has littlechoice; air quality in the north has become a noxious so-cial problem, and China faces a variety of climate risks.
Experts at MIT and elsewhere anticipate that somecountries, such as India and South Africa, will bringlittle to the table but that China will expand on its previ-ous commitments. Added to others’ pledges, backed byefforts already underway, this would move the globalemissions curve down more, heading off catastrophichigh-emissions scenarios.
The world will not give up fossil fuels tomorrow – ormany years from tomorrow. The transition scientistsrecommend will be slow, and the world may have toadapt to risks it did not have enough sense to avoid.But pointing out the difficulty of the problem is not astrategy. It is an excuse to shrink from one of history’sgreatest challenges.
TheWashington Post
“The tax system should be simplifiedand work for all Americans, with lowerindividual and corporate tax rates and fewerbrackets.”
That’s from the Obama administration’s2009 proposals for tax reform, straight fromwww.whitehouse.gov.
“Because our corporate tax system is soriddled with special interest loopholes,” thedocument goes on, “our system has one ofthe highest statutory rates among devel-oped countries to generate about the sameamount of corporate tax revenue as ourdeveloped country partners as a share of oureconomy.”
That is still accurate except that, now thatJapan has lowered its corporate tax rate, theU.S. is not “among the highest” but is thehighest among developed countries.
The first step in establishing good publicpolicy is identifying problems with andweaknesses in current policy. On the corpo-rate tax, President Obama and his adminis-tration started off on the right foot.
Unfortunately, they haven’t moved anyfurther.
Not while Democrats held supermajori-ties in both houses of Congress in 2009 and2010. Not in the so-called grand bargain nego-tiations with House Speaker John Boehnerin 2011.
And not in Obama’s second term. Actingapparently on the belief that he voiced on thecampaign trail, that the Republicans’ “fever”would break once he was re-elected – evi-dently he regards opposition to his policiesas sickness – Obama upped the ante.
His previous proposals for corporate taxreform were revenue-neutral. Rates wouldbe cut and preferences eliminated so as tomaintain the same revenue stream.
But his 2013 proposal was different.Corporate tax reform would have to increaserevenue. More money to spend on infrastruc-
ture or food stamps or crony-connected solarpanel subsidies.
Coupled with that was the appointmentof Jack Lew as secretary of the Treasury.Participants in the 2011 grand bargaindiscussions reported that Lew was the mostpartisan and obdurate of administrationnegotiators. His appointment was a signalthe president wanted no deal.
Even so, Senate Finance CommitteeChairman Max Baucus, a Democrat, andHouse Ways and Means Chairman DaveCamp, a Republican, engaged in extensivenegotiations with a view to overall taxreform.
They recognized that the high corporatetax rate handicapped U.S.-based firms. Theyunderstood as well that the U.S.’s near-unique worldwide taxation policy hurt themfurther.
Other countries tax only profits madedomestically. The U.S. taxes profits madeabroad minus any foreign corporate taxpaid.
As a result, U.S. corporations leavetrillions in profits overseas because they gettaxed if they bring it back home to do nefari-ous things such as create new jobs.
All this is, or should be, in the newsbecause of the proposed acquisition of U.S.-based Burger King by the Canada-based TimHortons doughnut chain. The new companywould pay U.S. rates on profits made here,but less on profits made elsewhere.
This is what the administration calls an“inversion” and which its cheerleaders de-nounce as “unpatriotic.” Several U.S.-basedpharmaceutical and medical device firms
have made similar transactions with a viewto reducing total tax liability.
But, as Judge Learned Hand wrote longago, “Anyone may arrange his affairs so thathis taxes shall be as low as possible; he is notbound to choose that pattern which best paysthe treasury. There is not even a patrioticduty to increase one’s taxes.”
Those who consider their taxes too lowmay donate money to the Treasury. Somepeople actually do so.
Some liberals lament that many countrieshave been lowering their corporate rate toattract more businesses. Ireland’s low 12.5percent corporate tax, plus its high-litera-cy work force and rule-of-law courts, havespurred much investment there.
These liberals want to resist this “race tothe bottom.” But as economists of just aboutall stripes agree, the corporate tax is notreally paid by Scrooge McDuck-like figureswallowing in their money bins. The costs arepassed along to consumers and employees.
So there’s a strong argument for eliminat-ing the corporate income tax altogether. Ab-sent that, there’s an overwhelmingly strongargument for cutting the rates and reducingits extra-territorial reach.
At the beginning of his presidency,when he was hailed as a politician uniquelyamenable to compromise and reconciliation,Obama recognized the strength of this case.
But it turns out that he lacks either theinclination or the skills to negotiate, or both.So we get denunciations of “unpatriotic”corporations rather than a policy that solvesa readily solvable problem.

Obamacarecritics haveno incentiveto change
At some point, we predict, Obamacare’s opponentswill have to switch tactics. Killing the health carereform outright will become either politically impos-sible and/or a waste of energy. Then, and only then,will reform and adjustment be possible.
We are not at that point, however.In 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court called the Afford-
able Care Act constitutional. Yet, the opponents werenot slowed down.
Later that year, President Barack Obama waselected to a second term, an accomplishment thatmade legislative repeal of the ACA impossible. Yet,the opponents were not slowed down.
Predictions of failure for signup deadlines in 2014did not come true. Yet, the opponents were not sloweddown.
The Supreme Court’s Hobby Lobby decision allow-ing closely held corporations to evade contraceptioncoverage based on religious reasons was a win foropponents earlier this year. As an appeal to a D.C. fed-eral appeals court last week demonstrates, this fightis likely heading right back to the Supreme Court.
With congressional elections a little more thantwo months away, Obamacare opponents have noincentive to chill out. In fact, opposition to healthcare reform is an easy position for a politician totake. Consider the landscape in the typical Republi-can-friendly congressional district: 1. The surest wayto lose support of voters is to say a kind word aboutObamacare. 2. Opposition is cheap politics when alegislative kill isn’t likely and therefore the candidatewon’t have to worry about what follows Obamacare’sexecution.
So, prepare for more stalemate, more lawsuits,more political posturing.
The law needs adjusting. The law could be fine-tuned. Yet, it’s still the closest the nation has evercome to universal health care for all citizens, some-thing that would finally put us on par with the rest ofthe industrialized world.
Such is the state of our politics.The only health care reform that a Democratic
president could produce was one created in a right-wing think-tank and first attempted by a Republicangovernor. And still the lawsuits and reluctance to re-form the law from conservative Republicans roll on.

By NOAH SMITHBloomberg News
These days, the word “privilege” has beenreduced to a trite buzzword. That’s a shame,because it used to mean more than just beingborn into advantageous circumstances. Theword, which means “private law” in oldFrench, originally referred to a system inwhich different groups of people had differ-ent rights under the law.
If there’s one political idea most peopleagree on these days, it’s the rule of law. Weargue endlessly about income inequality,wealth inequality, or inequality of oppor-tunity, but we take it as given that equalityunder the law is a prerequisite for a justsociety. And the consequences of privatelaw are dire. The original system of Frenchprivilege was one of the main causes of thatcountry’s bloody, chaotic revolution.
Now here’s the problem: The U.S. islooking more and more like it has a realprivilege system. We are enforcing lawsdifferently based on race, but also based onclass. This is un-American, and it has got tostop.
First, there is race privilege. The tragicshooting of an unarmed black teenager by apolice officer in Ferguson, Missouri, has putthis issue front and center. Our police offi-cers enforce the law differently for different
races. They arrest a much higher percentageof black people for using drugs, even thoughblacks and whites use illegal drugs at aboutthe same rates and whites use the mostharmful drugs – cocaine and heroin – athigher rates. That is an injustice.
Our courts are no less of a problem.Blacks are 30 percent more likely to bethrown in prison than whites who wereconvicted of the same crime. Furthermore,our Constitution guarantees citizens theright to a trial by a jury of their peers, butmany black defendants receive all-whitejuries, which are significantly more likely toreturn a guilty verdict against blacks. Final-ly, racial profiling is so rampant that blackAmericans who have committed no crimesat all have to live in constant fear of gettingstopped by the cops. White Americans don’thave to live with this fear.
If you are white, you literally live undera different legal system than if you areblack. The laws are the same on paper, butthat doesn’t matter to someone who getspulled over and harassed by the cops. Itdoesn’t matter to someone who gets thrownin prison.
White Americans can be complacentabout racial disparities in law enforcement,thinking that at least they themselves aresafe. Except that in modern America, thelaw now seems to be different for people of
different income levels as well.In 2010, Martin Erzinger, a private-wealth
manager for Morgan Stanley Smith Barney,was the driver in a hit-and-run of a bicyclistin Eagle, Colo. The victim suffered spinal in-juries and brain bleeding. But the prosecu-tor dropped felony charges against Erzinger,giving this justification:
“Felony convictions have some prettyserious job implications for someone inMr. Erzinger’s profession, and that enteredinto it,” [prosecutor] Hurlbert said. “Whenyou’re talking about restitution, you don’twant to take away his ability to pay.”
So a rich guy got a lighter sentence be-cause a heavier sentence would prevent himfrom being rich. Obviously, this get-out-of-jail-free card isn’t available to someone fromthe middle class, even if he or she is white.
All this adds up to one ominous conclu-sion: The U.S. is slowly becoming a countrywhere income and race determine the de-gree to which a citizen is bound by the lawof the land. That’s true privilege. Dangerousfor those on the bottom of the privilegesystem, but ultimately dangerous for thoseon the top as well.

Phillies’ bullpen finishesno-hitter for HamelsATLANTA – On Labor Day,
Cole Hamels (above) and thePhiladelphia bullpen spreadthe workload on a no-hitter.Hamels and three Phillies
relievers combined on theseason’s fourth no-hitter,blanking the Atlanta Braves,7-0, Monday and giving alast-place team a rare reasonto celebrate.It was all the more unusual
in that Hamels left the gamewith his bid intact after sixinnings. He was fine with thedecision, too, having alreadythrown 108 pitches at a hotafternoon at Turner Field.“Just understanding the sit-
uation, every time I went outthere I was battling controlissues,” Hamels said. “I wasn’tgetting ahead of guys. Walkingthe leadoff hitter will put youin a lot of trouble, and it does.It builds up your pitch count.”Hamels (8-6) struck out
seven, matched a season highwith five walks and hit a batter.Relievers Jake Diekman, Ken
Giles and Jonathan Papelboneach pitched a perfect inningto close out the 11th com-bined no-hitter in big leaguehistory. A smiling Hamelswatched from the bench asthey finished what he started.“I think having a combined
no-hitter is very difficultbecause guys have to comeright in and get the guys out,no matter what the situationis,” Hamels said. “It’s a littlemore dramatic to be able tosee that you’re trying to playthe cards as best you canagainst the lineup.”Manager Ryne Sandberg
knew Hamels was tired andready to come out of thegame. Their discussion was aquick one.“It didn’t take long,” Sand-
berg said. “He was pretty wellspent there. The early inningshad something to do with it.The stressful innings, strand-ing the runners at second andthird a couple of times, but hewasn’t going to go nine. Andhe ran the bases the inningbefore.”

ferent look to it than in past
years. For the Barbs to be
successful this season, every
runner on the team will need
to compete at a high level, not
just one elite runner.
“That is going to be the
key to any kind of success we
have,” Barbs coach Mike Wolfsaid. “We are going to have apretty strong pack. Betweenour first and fifth guys, it isgoing to be a pretty toughsplit.”
The Barbs will be return-ing five of the seven runnerswho competed at the DixonRegional year. Led by seniorsNate Wellendorf and JoshMay, DeKalb is looking tohave a successful season in a
tough Northern Illinois Big 12
Conference.
With last year’s top runner,
Isaac Hietenan, graduated,
Wellendorf said
he believes this
team will rely on
one another than
just one guy.
“Over the last
c o u p l e y e a r s ,
we would have
Marc Dubrick,
and he would be
the main guy, and last year
we had Issac Hietanen and he
was the main guy. But, this
year, we are more on equal
level of where we are in terms
of performance and how good
of shape we are,” Wellendorf
said.
Another top returner will
be junior Brandon Anderson,
who Wolf expects to be the
top runner this season. Nick
Rigas, Cameron Shotten and
Ben Martin all are returning
to the team as well and look
to make this team competitive
one through seven.
“At this point in time, our
No. 1 runner is not as strong
as last year’s, but our second
through seventh runners are
all stronger then last year,”
Wolf said.
Qualifying for state is
tough, and if the Barbs want
to have a shot, Wellendorf
said everything will reallycome down to the basics.
“This season, most of it is
staying committed. It is just
going down to the basic of
eating right, having a good
diet, running when we are
supposed to, stretching and
telling coaches if we are in-
jured,” Wellendorf said. “I am
excited. We put a lot of hard
work in over the summer. I
am pumped to see what we are
going to do.”

The Southeastern Con-
ference will be coming to
Mid-American Conference ter-
ritory this weekend.
In a rare opportunity, Tole-
do will welcome No. 24 Missou-
ri at 11 a.m. at the Glass Bowl.
The Tigers won the SEC East
last season and were close to
playing for the national cham-
pionship before losing to Au-
burn in the SEC Champion-
ship Game.
Missouri beat South Dakota
State, 38-18, Saturday.
“We know and understand
what kind of football team
we’re going against,” Toledo
coach Matt Campbell said.
“They’re extremely athletic,
they’re really skilled. They’re
a good football team and I
think everybody saw that last
year.”
The Rockets are scheduled
to host Iowa State next year,
and Miami in 2018.
Toledo coach Matt Camp-
bell said scheduling games
such as these helps out in the
recruiting process.
“I think that’s what makes
it special about our football
program. That’s what makes it
special to be a Rocket,” Camp-
bell said. “You’re going to
have the opportunity to go to
some great venues, but you’re
also going to have the opportu-
nity to play some tremendous
programs at the Glass Bowl.”
Saturday’s game will be one
of three MAC-SEC matchups
in Week 2. Ohio visits Ken-
tucky and Eastern Michigan
plays Florida in Gainesville.
Still no decision on NIU QB:Rod Carey still has not decided
who his starting quarterback
will be.
All three of the quarter-
backs vying for NIU’s starting
job – Matt McIntosh, Drew
Hare and Anthony Maddie,
played in the Huskies’ sea-
son-opening win over Presby-
terian.

BEARS
Many new faces in ’14There was an air about Halas Hall
on Labor Day morning. The feeling wasthick on the walk from the parking lot
to the media room, onthe practice fields and inthe locker room.
It screamed: “Now it’sall for real.”
Bears coach MarcTrestman greeted themedia after practice,starting by saying, “Iguess it’s still morning.Good morning,” andthen going on to explain:“We started today bywelcoming the team
back, the 53 plus the practice squad, 29new players from last year on the 53, sothat was eye opening to the guys.”
Was the coach unsure of the daypart because he’d spent the weekendwithout sleep trying to cut down to 53and then add back his 10-man practicesquad?
I have to confess while I already hadstudied the roster Saturday night andSunday after the final cuts, it hadn’teven occurred to me that 55 percent ofthis team was new since Aaron Rodg-ers found Randall Cobb all alone in theend zone in December.

NU already facingmust-win vs. NIU
By SETH [email protected]
Northwestern sits in foreign territo-
ry. The Wildcats are staring at a Week
2 home game against Northern Illinois
and the possibility of being 0-2.
So after their 31-24 loss to California on
Saturday – the first in nine season openers
for coach Pat Fitzgerald – will the Wild-
cats’ game Saturday define their season?
“No,” Fitzgerald said. “But I bet you
that’s a great article.”
Maybe Fitzgerald is looking to take
pressure off his players. He also could
truly believe early September doesn’t
provide that kind of a drama.
Fitzgerald has been coaching for a
while now, and he has a growing repu-
tation as a program builder who does
it the right way. But there’s no manual
that says when big games are played.
Northwestern might not realize that
it’s looking at a possible catastrophe if
it doesn’t beat the Huskies. A loss would
guarantee that the Wildcats enter Big
Ten play below .500. They start the
conference season at Penn State before
hosting Wisconsin. They’ll be under-
dogs in both games.
That’s a scary thought when you con-
sider what has taken place for the pro-
gram in the past 10 months.
The Wildcats were the sexy pick to
win the Big Ten in 2013 after coming off
their first bowl victory since 1948. Four
games into the season, Northwestern
was undefeated before losing at home to
Ohio State in October, the first of seven
consecutive losses.
Missing out on the bowl season was
supposed to be rock bottom. But then
the school found itself on the defensive
against the Chicago office of the Nation-
al Labor Relations Board in February.
During training camp in August, the
Wildcats announced a two-game suspen-
sion for top running back Venric Mark.

Conte returns; Lynch left outBy KEVIN FISHBAIN
LAKE FOREST — TheBears’ 53-man roster and new10-man practice squad took tothe field Monday at Halas Hallfor the first practice leadingup to Sunday’s season openeragainst the Buffalo Bills at Sol-dier Field.
With the regular seasonupon them, the Bears receivedsome good injury news. ChrisConte (concussion), Brian de laPuente (knee), Tony Fiammet-ta (hamstring) and Ryan Mun-dy (head laceration) all partici-pated Monday in the portion ofpractice open to the media.
Coach Marc Trestman saidConte was limited, and the safe-ty had not yet been cleared tospeak to the media. He suffereda concussion in the preseasongame in Seattle.
As for who will start at safe-
ty, a position Conte and Mundyare candidates for, Trestmansaid the team will “wait andsee.”
“We’re rotating the guysaround,” he said. “And we’lltalk more about that onW e d n e s d a y ,and we’ll getthem startedin the right di-rection. I’d justrather wait an-other day and ahalf.”
Third-stringquarterback David Fales satout practice with a sore shoul-der.
No Lynch on practice squad:The Bears formed their 10-manpractice squad Monday, bring-ing back seven players whowere with the team this presea-son.
Receiver Josh Bellamy, cen-ter Taylor Boggs, defensive
tackle Brandon Dunn, corner-back Isaiah Frey, offensiveguard Ryan Groy, linebackerDeDe Lattimore, cornerbackAl Louis-Jean, cornerbackTerrance Mitchell, defensivetackle Roy Philon and receiverRashad Ross make up the prac-tice squad.
Northern Illinois alumnusJordan Lynch was the notablename not on the practice squad,although the group often is fluidthroughout the season, and theBears did carry four runningbacks as opposed to three on theactive roster, so they have lessof a need at the position.
Briggs excused: Lance Briggswas scheduled to open a restau-rant in his hometown of ElkGrove, California, on LaborDay and was excused frompractice. Trestman did notconfirm the reason for Briggs’absence, but said it was some-thing the linebacker asked per-
mission for a few weeks ago.Returner update: Micheal
Spurlock and Santonio Holmeswill get the first crack to be theofficial Devin Hester replace-ment.
“Spurlock’s the guy we’regoing to start with. We broughtin Rashad Ross, he’s on thepractice squad, he’s got returnability as well,” Trestman said,adding that Holmes will getwork on punt returns.
“In the punt return game,with the help of the front 10guys working their tails off likethey did for Devin back in theday, I can definitely contributein that aspect,” Holmes said.
Returning long snapper: Jere-my Cain began his third stintwith the Bears on Mondayas the new long snapper. Hesnapped in two games last yearfor Patrick Mannelly and wason the team in 2004-05 as a spe-cial teamer.
Jordan Lynch
‘D’ drasticallydifferent now
CUBS 4, BREWERS 2
If it’s possible, Trestman seemedboth exhausted and invigorated, butprobably a bit more in need of sleepthan sleeping pills.
Although the starting offensereturns intact from 2013, receiverMarquess Wilson and tight end DanteRosario are the only returning back-ups.
This offense features two new quar-terbacks, three new running backs,three new receivers, one new tightend and three new offensive linemen.
The defense is very different.Stephen Paea, Lance Briggs, D.J.Williams, Shea McClellin (in a newposition), Tim Jennings and CharlesTillman are the only returning start-ers.
Chris Conte and Jonathan Bosticare back but at the moment are notstarting.
Jared Allen, Jeremiah Ratliff andLamarr Houston all are new starterson the defensive line, and backupsWillie Young, Trevor Scott, Ego Fer-guson and Will Sutton are new, too.
Christian Jones is the only newlinebacker on the roster, but in thesecondary Kyle Fuller, Ryan Mundy,Danny McCray and Brock Vereen arefirst-time Bears.
Punter Patrick O’Donnell and longsnapper Jeremy Cain also are newBears this season.
What is troubling about thisedition of the Bears is that six daysbefore the first game, there still are somany unanswered questions.
Asked who his starting safeties are,Trestman replied, “You know I thinkwe’re going to still wait and see. We’vebeen rotating the guys around, andwe’ll talk more about that on Wednes-day. We’ve got four guys we’ve beenrotating around, and Chris (Conte) gotwork today, so I’d like to get anotherday of practice.”
Trestman talked about the im-provement he and his coaches believethey have seen in McClellin and Bos-tic in practice while acknowledgingthere still is work to do.
When asked about the “trepida-tion” surrounding his defense, Trest-man was quick to point out he didn’tshare that feeling, drew a laugh whenhe said “with any word that’s morethan three syllables, I’m out of luck,”and went on to admit they have yet tojell as a unit on the field but that hebelieves the talent level is there andthey just have to work harder everyday to get better.
Trestman went through the presea-son and training camp last year withan air of confidence about his offensethat many struggled to understandbased on the apparent holes in it, par-ticularly on the offensive line.
It seems he knew something wedidn’t, as that all turned out prettywell.
Does he know something about thisyear’s defense no one else does? Or ishe just doing the best he can with thecards he’s been dealt?
Trestman loves deflecting ques-tions from the media by calling themhypothetical and explaining he won’tdeal in hypotheticals.
There are no more hypotheticalsnow. Sunday against Buffalo it’s allfor real, and the feeling I got in theBears’ locker room Monday is they’reas anxious to find out what’s going tohappen as we are.

By JOHN JACKSONThe Associated Press
CHICAGO – Jorge Sol-
er never has lacked confi-
dence. Even before being
promoted to the major
leagues last week, the Cu-
ban slugger declared this
season to be “his time.”
But his blistering start
with the Cubs has caught
even him off-guard.
Soler doubled twice and
scored a run in his Wrig-
ley Field debut as the Cubs
beat Milwaukee, 4-2, Mon-
day, handing the Brewers
their sixth straight loss and
knocking them out of the
NL Central lead.
Soler became only the
third player in the past 100
years to get at least one ex-
tra-base hit in each of his
first five games in the ma-
jors. Will Middlebrooks did
it for Boston in 2012 and
Enos Slaughter for the St.
Louis Cardinals in 1938.
So far, Soler is batting
.526 with three homers and
seven RBIs.
“I have been a little bit
surprised,” he said through
a translator. “I expected it
to go well, but not as well as
it’s gone so far.”
Welington Castillo and
Luis Valbuena homered to
back Justin Turner (5-8).
Turner won in only his
second start for the Cubs af-
ter being acquired from Mi-
ami last month. The right-
hander allowed only one run
and five hits in 6⅓ innings.
It was a much better
result than his first start
in Cincinnati last week in
which he allowed five runs
in four innings.
“It’s definitely a step in the
right direction,” Turner said.
“For me, getting that fresh
start and just kind of reset-
ting after the ups and downs
of this season has been huge.”
Hector Rondon pitched
the ninth for his 23rd save
in 27 chances.
Jimmy Nelson (2-6) ,
called up from the minors to
make the start for the Brew-
ers, gave up three runs in
six innings.
“He made a couple mis-
takes, but I thought it was
pretty good,” Milwaukee
manager Ron Roenicke said.
Dunn homers in 1st at-batBy JANIE McCAULEYThe Associated Press
OAKLAND, Cali f . –Adam Dunn is in a pennantrace at last, and what animpression he made on hisnew team as the Septemberstretch run began.
Dunn provided instantpop for the struggling Ath-letics, hitting a towering,two-run homer in his debutat-bat for Oakland to high-light a 6-1 win over the Se-attle Mariners on Mondayin a matchup of playoff con-tenders.
“I can speak prettypassionately about it ,
these chances don’t comearound very often, espe-cially for some of us,” saidthe 34-year-old Dunn, who
n e v e r h a sp l a y e d i nthe postsea-son. “We’regoing to takefull advan-tage.”
Acquireda day earlier
in a trade with the WhiteSox, the 6-foot-6, 285-poundDunn immediately becamean imposing presence in themiddle of Oakland’s order.Dunn is the 12th player inOakland history to homer
in his first at-bat with theteam.
A 1 4 t h - y e a r m a j o rleaguer, Dunn homeredduring a five-run first in-ning. His drive was a wel-come sight for a team thatjust got swept in a four-gameseries by the AL West-lead-ing Los Angeles Angels andwas shut out for 29 straightinnings.
“That’s the most excit-ed, anxious, probably callit a little nervous, than I’vebeen in a long time,” saidDunn, who was thrown offby the celebratory tunnelformed by teammates in thedugout.

Stewart’s Chase status doesn’t matterReturn to trackSunday nighta small victory
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Tony
Stewart has one final shot
to make the Chase, and it’s
not a good one: He must win
Saturday night at Richmond,
where he last visited Victory
Lane in 2002.
He sat out three races
after his sprint car struck
and killed Kevin Ward Jr. at
a New York dirt track Aug.
9, and his return to competi-
tion Sunday night at Atlanta
Motor Speedway ended with
a blown tire and a 41st-place
finish.
Now the three-time NA-
SCAR champion has to win
at Richmond or he won’t be
eligible to race this season for
a fourth title.
But does it really matter if
Stewart makes the 16-driver
field?
Not in the least.
Stewart’s team and his
employees and his sponsors
would be thrilled if Stewart
pulled it off, and it sure felt
as if the crowd was pulling
for him given his reception
as he walked across the stage
during driver introductions.
Stewart received a rousing
ovation that was far louder
than for any other driver,
even the wildly popular Dale
Earnhardt Jr.
So when his tire blew and
he hit the wall, ending his
night just past the halfway
point, there was heavy sad-
ness in his voice as he radioed
his crew.
“Sorry, guys,” he said.
“You deserve better than
this.”
Only the finish wasn’t
that important in the grand
scheme of life, which Stewart
is beginning to understand
in the aftermath of Ward’s
death.
Returning to the track
was imperative for Stewart,
who had spent nearly three
weeks in seclusion. Many of
his peers tried and failed to
comfort him; Stewart simply
wasn’t ready to talk or text or
let anyone into his world of
constant sorrow.
“I’ve wanted to talk to him
for weeks,” Atlanta winner
Kasey Kahne said. “I think a
lot of people have, and haven’t
been able to.”
Kahne finally got his
chance Friday after Stewart
returned to the track, made
his first public statement
since Ward’s death and then
finally headed to his home-
away-from-home in the NA-
SCAR motorhome lot. Kahne
was waiting.
“I was able to go in there
and see him for the first time
and give him a hug,” Kahne
said. “And it just felt really
good to talk to him for 10
minutes.”
Those friendships and
support are what Stewart
needs most right now. He
needs normalcy and routine
and the distraction of pulling
on his helmet and climbing
in a car. The investigation
into Ward’s death will last at
least another two weeks, and
criminal charges still are pos-
sible. So it’s foolish to think
one weekend at the track did
anything to make his prob-
lems go away.
Many always will scruti-
nize the timing of Stewart’s
return. He came back with
two races remaining in the
“regular season” and after
Stewart-Haas Racing success-
fully had petitioned NASCAR
for a waiver that would allow
him into the Chase should he
qualify.
A focused driver in a fast
car with two chances to gain
that important berth? Sure,
the motives behind his return
will seem questionable to
some.
But many outside the ce-
lebrity world are touched by
tragedy daily, and few get to
simply shut down and grieve
indefinitely. There are jobs,
children, responsibilities
and lives that go on. When
something terrible happens,
eventually it’s time to return
to work.
That’s all Stewart did last
weekend.
There never was going to
be a “right” time for Stewart,
but it was inevitable he would
be back. Racing is his job, his
hobby. The race track is his
home. The longer he stayed
away, the longer the delay in
the healing process.
It’s not important if
Stewart makes the Chase, it’s
just not. Moving forward and
trying his best to pick up the
pieces is all that matters now,
and that made Sunday’s race
something of a small victory.

IN THE PITS
SPORTS • Tuesday, September 2, 2014 • Section B • Daily Chronicle / Daily-Chronicle.com4
Watch out for fake antiques, especially
copies of well-known pieces. In about
1820, some potters in the Stafford-
shire district of England made portrait
figures of famous politicians, actors and
athletes to sell in local shops. Remem-
ber, this was a time when there were no
color images of people except paintings
and few black-and-white photos. Often
the potters confused the personalities.
A famous error was the figure of Ben-
jamin Franklin made in about 1820.
Some had the name “General Washing-
ton” painted on the front of the base. In
the 1950s, when Staffordshire figures
were again very popular, many copies of
both the correct and incorrect Franklin
were made. Other old fakes still are
around. Some are antique jokes, like
“The Vicar and Moses,” which shows a
judge sleeping in court. “The Tithing” is
another faked figure, a group with a tax
collector taking a percentage of the crop
- and a new baby - as a tax from a farmer
and his wife (sometimes the farmer was
less cynical and brought a pig). Other
named copies show well-known men
of the day, including Shakespeare, the
comic Joseph Grimaldi, a bust of Wash-
ington or even a pair of cricket bowlers.
Be careful. It is harder to recognize the
1990s Chinese copies than it was the
1950s copies.

Q: We have a rocking chair that has
been in my husband’s family for about
60 years. It’s Craftsman-style and has
armrests. It also has the original leather
seat cushion with springs. On the bot-
tom of the seat it reads, “Northwest
Chair Co., Tacoma, Wash.” I’m having a
hard time finding information about the
company and our chair. I would like to
sell it. What do you think it’s worth?
A: The Northwest Chair Co. made
furniture in South Tacoma from about
1900 to the 1950s. In the mid-1920s,
they opened distribution warehouses in
Los Angeles and Berkeley, Calif. An ad-
vertisement claimed the company made
“bedroom, children’s, dining room,
kitchen, library and store chairs made
of ash, birch, mahogany, oak and wal-
nut.” In addition to furniture, the com-
pany made airplane parts for Boeing in
1944. We’ve seen a similar Morris-type
rocking chair priced at $100.
***
Q: My mother has a very old set of
china. The mark on the back reads “T &
R Boote and Co.” and has an image of a
ship called Tusculana. Do you have any
information about the maker?
A: T. & R. Boote was founded by
Thomas and Richard Boote in Burslem,
Staffordshire, England, in 1842. The
company made pavement tiles, Parian
ware and earthenware. It began mak-
ing white graniteware for export to the
United States in 1888. Production was
limited to tiles after 1906. T. & R. Boote
used a boat as part of its mark from
1890 to 1906. Tusculana is the name
of a pattern that was made from 1903
to 1906.
***
Q: I bought an advertising book-
let that has a man’s frowning face
and “Dyspeptic Pete” on the front and
a smiling face with “Happy Pete” on
the back. It also reads “The Walther
Peptonized Port Co., Sole Proprietors,
Pittsburgh, Pa., U.S.A.” I bought it at an
estate. Can you tell me its history and
value?
A: Walther’s Peptonized Port con-
tained port wine and pepsin and was
advertised as a cure for dyspepsia
(indigestion). It was sold in drugstores
and advertised “for nursing mothers,
tired women, old folks, invalids, con-
valescents, weakened and run down
folks generally.” Your 12-page booklet
includes a story in verse about Peter
Gradgrind, who changed from “Dyspep-
tic Pete” to “Happy Pete” after trying
a bottle of Walther’s Peptonized Port.
Many medicinal remedies sold during
the 19th and early 20th centuries con-
tained alcohol, although it didn’t have
to be listed as an ingredient until the
passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act
in 1906. Some popular remedies con-
tained over 40 percent alcohol. Walther
Peptonized Port was sold from about
1901 through 1915, so your booklet
was published during those years. Val-
ue: $10 to $20.
** *
Q: Is there any kind of a market
for used shoe-topped roller skates from
the 1940s? They’re in very good shape,
but I used them a lot because I used to
dance in them several times a week.
A: Your skates are not what we’d
call “collectible.” That word would apply
if, for example, someone famous once
owned them. But it’s possible you could
sell them on eBay or Craigslist for $20
or even a little more.
***
Q: I found a very old straight ra-
zor in the original box. It was made by
Johnson Brothers Hardware Co. of Cin-
cinnati. How old is it? Are old razors col-
lectible?
A: The Johnson brothers had a
wholesale and retail hardware business
in Cincinnati beginning in 1881. Accord-
ing to an 1886 listing, the company car-
ried general hardware and “pocket and
table cutlery.” The name of the busi-
ness became Johnson Bros. Hardware
Co. in 1891. By then it was selling tools
as well as hardware and cutlery. It still
was in business in 1913, when it was
listed in a directory of hardware deal-
ers. Collectors of old razors want razors
in good, unrestored condition. If you are
thinking of selling the razor, don’t pol-
ish it. The original box adds value. Old
straight razors sell for $15 and up, de-
pending on condition and maker.

DeKalb
Last season: Finished fifth atSterling RegionalTop returners: Nate Wellendorf,
sr.; Josh May, sr.; Brandon Ander-son, jr.; Cameron Shotton, jr.Key newcomer: Thomas Wuchte,
so.Coach Mike Wolf’s take: “We
have these group of guys that allrun together and maybe be whereIsaac (Hietanen) was last year. Thatis the goal.”The lowdown: The Barbs will
look to be competitive from runnerone to runner seven in a tough con-ference and regional. DeKalb willbe successful if everyone’s splitsremain close to one another.
Kaneland
Last season: Third at BurlingtonCentral Regional, fourth at BelvidereSectional, 22nd at state meetTop returners: Sean Spaetzel, jr.;
Andrew Lesak, sr.; Brandon Park, sr.Key newcomers: Austin Kintz, jr.;
Zach Kurz, jr.Coach Chad Clarey’s take: “Be-
cause we are so inexperienced, weare just going to take it onemeet at atime to try and teach the new runners
what cross country training is like.”The lowdown: From a Knights
team that finished 22nd at the statemeet last year, this Kaneland squad islooking to make it back to state. Withtop returners Andrew Lesak and SeanSpaetzel, Kaneland has a solid foun-dation to make another state run.
Sycamore
Last season: Seventh at Burling-ton Central RegionalTop returners: Adam Millburg,
sr.; Ryan Guss sr.; Michael Lerohlsr.; Sam Zurbuch, jr.Key newcomers: Quinton
Benzschawel, fr.; Stephen Poorten, fr.Coach Mike Lambdin’s take:
”We are a good team. The questionis, how good can we be? We aredefinitely going to have to makeprogress as the season goes along.”The lowdown: Everyone knows
how good of a runner Adam Mill-burg is and what he brings to thetable. Millburg finished 33rd in statelast season. The key to the squad’ssuccess will come with the runningof the rest of the team.
GIRLS
DeKalb
Last season: Fifth at Sterling
Regional, 11th at Belvidere Sectional
Top returners: Emma Conway,
so.; Tania Barragan, jr.; Brianna
Booton jr.
Key newcomers: Claire Eaton,
so.; Sam Schimbke, fr.
Coach MikeWolf’s take: “We lost
our top four girls to graduation from
last year’s team and I have been real-
ly happy with how our top girls have
taken this as an opportunity and
have seized the leadership roles.”
The lowdown: The Barbs, who
will start the season without any
seniors, are young and inexperi-
enced and it will be interesting to
see if they can turn some heads this
season.
Kaneland
Last season: Fourth at Burlington
Central Regional, fifth at Belvidere

Top returners: Brianna Bower, jr.;
Victoria Clinton, sr.; Aislinn Lodwig,

fr.; Becca Richtman, so.
Coach Doug Ecker’s take: “We
hope to be in the top three in the
conference and develop and get
better as time goes on.”
The lowdown: Kaneland looks to
have a strong team again this sea-
son as the Knights will be returning
its top four runners from the squad
that finished fifth in the state. The
Knights hope to show they are one
of the best cross country teams in
the state.
Sycamore
Last season: Seventh at Burling-
ton Central Regional
Top returner: Katelyn Stanevich,
sr.
Key newcomers: Claire Emmert,
jr.; Julianne Morreale, so.; Madison
Mollman, so.
Coach Adam Bezinovich’s take:
“A lot of our team is young. Work-
ing with them over the summer, I
have seen a lot of growth from last
year. We are going to see a lot of
improvement and I think we will
surprise a lot of teams.”
The lowdown: The Spartans will
be making a transition this season.
With six of the top seven runners
from last year’s team gone, Syca-
more’s lineup will look completely
different. Stanevich will be leading
this young Spartans team that
might shock a team or two.

Carey didn’t rule out play-ing multiple quarterbacks inSaturday’s game at Northwest-ern.
“I’m probably going toname somebody here, I’m justnot going to do it today,” Careysaid. “Even if we name some-body, it doesn’t mean we’renot going to play some otherguys, too. All the kids that gotin here did a good job.”
WMU comes up short: P.J.Fleck’s Western Michigansquad gave Purdue a game.
The Broncos got to withinthree points of the Boilermak-ers on Saturday afternoon atRoss-Ade Stadium, before Pur-due scored a touchdown to es-cape with a 43-34 win.
Freshman Jarvion Frank-lin ran for 163 yards in the loss,and Fleck joked that it was asmany yards as the Broncos ranfor all of last season.
Quarterback Zach Terrellthrew for 243 yards, two touch-downs and an interception.
“One thing about Zach, hetakes ownership of his mis-takes and his success, and thekids really trust him,” Flecksaid.
Creighton picks up first winat EMU: It’s been a rough fewyears for Eastern Michigan’sprogram.
Actually, it’s been morethan a few. The Eagles lastplayed in a bowl game after the1987 season.
Is new coach Chris Creigh-ton the guy to turn EMU’sprogram around? Time willtell, but Creighton started onthe right foot Saturday, witha 31-28 win over FCS MorganState on EMU’s brand-newgray FieldTurf at RynearsonStadium.
“I was excited for ourguys. It’s always eight ornine months of hard workand building excitement andhaving great expectations andgoing out and hitting a differ-ent colored jersey for the firsttime,” said Creighton, whocame to EMU after spendingfive years at Drake. “I don’tknow if it was any different(than previous years), I wasjust excited for the guys andexcited to get the season start-ed.”
One day after Mark ad-dressed the media in a full showof support for his team, he elect-ed to transfer. On the same day,Northwestern lost its best re-ceiver, Christian Jones, for theyear because of a knee injury.
Fast forward to this pastSaturday, when the Wildcatslost to a Cal team that went0-11 against FBS opponents in2013. A victory over NorthernIllinois certainly would get the
Wildcats back on course.
“Guys just maybe have a dif-
ferent chip on their shoulder,”
quarterback Trevor Siemian
said. “Even coming in this
morning to watch the (Cal) game
film, and I was ready to burn it.”
On Monday, the Wildcats
looked to be taking the Jordan
Lynch-less Huskies seriously.
NIU lost its Heisman final-
ist to graduation, but the Hus-
kies’ offense returns plenty
from a year ago. That figures to
make for a shootout Saturday.
Siemian and Co. need a
quick turnaround after look-
ing out of sync against Cal.
“This week of practice
might be the most important
week of practice for our sea-
son,” Siemian said. “Because
first and second week, that’s
where you see the most im-
provement in teams usually.”
The Wildcats desperately
need to improve to salvage the
season.

SPORTS BRIEF
Louisville defeatsMiami in ACC debutLOUISVILLE, Ky. – Dominique
Brown’s 15-yard touchdown
run in the third quarter and
Gerald Christian’s 10-yard TD
catch late in the fourth fol-
lowed Louisville’s big defensive
performance that helped beat
Miami, 31-13, Monday night.
The victory provided a suc-

ence debut for the Cardinals
and to Bobby Petrino’s second
coaching stint at the school.
– Wire report
Dr. Wallace: I’m a 14-year-old boy and I love watchingtelevision. Our teacher saysthat watching television is abig waste of time, but I totallydisagree. I think that it can beeducational and entertaining.What do you say about it? –Corey, Chicago, Illinois
Corey: I’ve got to agreewith your teacher in someinstances, especially whenthe viewer becomes a “couchpotato,” switching fromchannel to channel, andwatching anything thatcomes up because they havenothing else to do.
However, it’s true thatthere are also some very en-
tertaining, as well as highlyeducational, programs thatwarrant the time to learnsomething new. Many chan-nels offer interesting science,travel, history and healthinformation and are worth-while to watch.

Dr. Wallace: You alwaystalk about the health prob-lems attributed to smokingcigarettes, and the fear ofcancer for smokers andnon-smokers who breathethe secondhand smoke.But isn’t it also true thatsometimes a person who hasnever smoked cigarettes orcigars and does not breathesecondhand smoke could stilldie of lung cancer? – Name-less, Brookhaven, Missis-sippi
Nameless: It is possiblethat a person who has never
smoked, or even breathedsecondhand smoke, could dieof lung cancer.
However, according toThe Cancer Society, if noone smoked, 83 percent oflung cancer would eventual-ly be eliminated. Still, thereare those who do not believethat breathing secondhandsmoke is harmful. TheCancer Society researchedwomen who didn’t smokeand were married to a hus-band who smoked a pack ofcigarettes daily and foundthat these women had dou-ble the risk of lung cancerthan the women who didn’tsmoke and were married to
non-smokers. The CancerSociety is a highly profes-sional and reputable organi-zation and I take their wordsto be accurate!

Using mother tongue can hurt conversation
Cause of anovulation should be determined
When in ahurry, runfor home
A.A. Milne wrote, “Riversknow this: there is no hurry.We shall get there some day.”
Bridge players know thatsometimes there is no hurry,but on other deals, speed isessential.
Now look at today’s deal.How would you analyze theauction? And what shouldWest lead against three no-trump?
North’s two-spade cue-bid,in the modern style, showedat least a game-invitationalhand with diamond support.However, North should havemade a negative double, toshow his four-card heart suit.We must check for major-suitfits before falling back on theminors.
Here, if North had doubled,South might have rebid threediamonds. Then North couldhave cue-bid three spades toask his partner to convertto three no-trump with aspade stopper. North, with anaceless wonder, should not bethinking about five diamondsunless South cannot bid no-trump.
Note that after that auc-tion, West, knowing dummyhas heart length, would belikely to lead his fourth-high-est spade. Then South hurriesto take the first 11 tricks: onespade, six diamonds and fourclubs.
When North cue-bid twospades, South decided, debat-ably with such a good handfor diamonds, to rebid twono-trump. Then North cue-bidagain to ask if South reallycould control spades.
At the table, West led thespade seven, but he shouldhave started with a highheart. He should have had asense of urgency to take thefirst five tricks – and hereEast-West could have won thefirst six: five hearts and onespade.
Teen: Is watching television a waste of time?
Dear Abby: My son marriedan educated professionalwoman from another coun-try. When their twins wereborn, my daughter-in-lawimmersed them in her nativelanguage so it would be-come their mother tongue.Although I understand andrespect the benefits of beingbilingual, this caused a lotof communication gaps andfrustration between us andthe grandkids during theirearly years.
They attend a bilingualelementary school now, andtheir English is superb andcommunication between us isgreat. The problem is, whenwe are together, my daughter-in-law speaks to her childrenexclusively in her native lan-guage. My son understands
the conversation, but my hus-
band and I do not know what
is being said. We think this is
rude and inconsiderate.
Are we being overly sensi-
tive, or is this common prac-
tice in families with multiple
languages? Our relationship
with our daughter-in-law is
polite and cordial, but not
close or intimate. Any advice?
– Left Out in Florida
Dear Left Out: This is not
unusual in multilingual
families, and I agree that it is
inconsiderate. Have you spo-
ken to your son and daughter-
in-law about how this makesyou feel? If you haven’t, youshould, because she may notbe deliberately trying to makeyou feel excluded.
When you raise the sub-ject, choose your words andtone carefully. Because if youdon’t, your relationship withyour daughter-in-law couldbecome a lot less cordial thanit is.
Dear Abby: I’m a 55-year-oldgay male who has been withmy now-spouse, “Owen,” ina loving, committed relation-ship since 2005. While earlierwe could not legally marry,in 2006 we had a commitmentceremony bringing togetherclose friends and family toacknowledge and celebrateour relationship. In 2013,Owen and I were finally able
to legally marry in California.My dilemma comes from
people who don’t know whatto call us. People often referto my spouse as my “friend”or “partner.” At times I saynothing, but more often thannot, I find myself saying, “Oh,you mean my HUSBAND.”Some of them thank me forthe clarification; others justlook at me with a blank stare.
Owen never corrects thembecause he feels it isn’t hisplace. I feel it’s my respon-sibility to do so, first so asto not play down the signif-icance of our relationship,but also to educate thesepeople. Do you think this isinappropriate? – Married inCalifornia
Dear Married: Not at all.The people who refer to you
and Owen as “partners” and“friends” are using terminol-ogy that is evolving becausemarriage among same-sexcouples is still relatively new.As it becomes more common-place, that will change. In themeantime, it’s completelyappropriate for you and Owento speak up.
P.S. For any reader whomay not already know, gaymen refer to their spouse astheir husband and lesbiansrefer to theirs as their wife.

Dear Dr. K: I’ve always hadinfrequent periods, but Inever thought much of it. Mydoctor recently used the word“anovulatory” to explain whyI’ve had trouble getting preg-nant. What does this mean?Could the two be connected?
Dear Reader: “Anovulation”means you are not ovulating– releasing eggs. A woman’sovary should release approx-imately one egg each month.Once released, the egg travelsinto the fallopian tube. There,it can be fertilized by the en-try of a sperm. The fertilizedegg then enters the uterus.
When a woman does notovulate, no egg is availableto be fertilized by sperm. Asa result, a woman cannotbecome pregnant. Womenwho are anovulatory haveirregular, few or no periods.
What causes anovulation?Something wrong with thesignals that cause ovulation.What are those signals? Theystart in a woman’s brain. Thebrain has its own “calendar.”It knows how old you are, andit knows what time of monthit is. It knows the time of yourlife for you to start ovulatingand the time to stop – and itknows the time of the monthfor you to ovulate.
The brain controls ovula-tion and menstrual periodsthrough a group of hormones,natural substances made inthe brain that travel betweendifferent parts of the brain
and also travel through theblood to the ovaries anduterus.
Anovulation can occur formany reasons. For example,women who exercise intense-ly, for long periods of time,may not ovulate. Women whoare anorexic or have a verylow body mass index may alsohave irregular or absent peri-ods. In both cases, it appearsthat the brain hormones thatnormally stimulate ovulationare “dialed down,” for rea-sons we don’t understand.
Another common cause ofirregular periods is polycys-tic ovary syndrome (PCOS).Women with PCOS don’t ovu-late normally. That’s becausethe body doesn’t respondnormally to the hormoneinsulin.
Anovulation can also be
a sign of abnormal hormonelevels. Women who do notproduce enough thyroidhormone may not ovulatenormally. The same is true ofwomen with high blood levelsof prolactin. Prolactin is ahormone normally producedin the brain that stimulatesthe breast to produce milkduring breastfeeding.
Once your doctor identi-fies the reason why you arenot ovulating, the problemoften can be corrected. Forexample, if you have PCOS,your doctor may prescribemedications that improveinsulin sensitivity. This,in turn, may improve yourchances of ovulating andbecoming pregnant.
Even if your doctor cannotcorrect an underlying cause,you may still be able to be-
come pregnant. A medicationlike clomiphene (Clomid), forexample, can stimulate yourovaries to produce eggs.
Even if you do not want tobecome pregnant, it is import-ant to recognize anovulationand to speak with your doctorabout it. That’s becauseanovulation can also affectother areas of a woman’shealth. Infrequent periods,for example, increase the riskof the bone-thinning diseaseosteoporosis. When talking toyour doctor, ask what you cando to build and preserve bonestrength.
