Could Castro’s death bring change? POLL YESTERDAY’S

The death of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro last week at the age of 90 seems almost hard to believe. After all, Castro had been out of sight for almost a decade, and rumors of his demise often were greatly exaggerated.

Yet even dictators and defining figures of the 20th century eventually fall victim to the one enemy they cannot outfox or control: death.

The revolution that Castro ushered in with the ouster of military dictator Fulgencio Batista in 1959 no doubt was cause for hope for many in Cuba. The country had been wracked by civil war, and the revolutionaries claimed to be bringing change.

Little did they realize at the time that those promises would be empty ones – the country trading one dictator for yet another.

As a Cold War kid, I can’t remember a time when Castro wasn’t ruling Cuba with an iron grip. Although the Bay of Pigs invasion attempt and the Cuban Missile Crisis took place before I was born, the echoes of those momentous events reverberated through my teen years.

In fact, I had the dubious honor of representing Cuba in the annual Model United Nations held at McHenry Community High School. My debate partner wanted to represent the Soviet Union and needed a strong ally.

Mind you, this had nothing to do with actual sympathies for socialists and everything to do with the opportunity to be agitators during any U.N. floor debates.

However, it did ignite a desire to know more about international relations, and specifically about those Cold War foes of the U.S. Trying to understand Castro and his principal ally, the Soviet Union, would play a major role in the courses I took in college. At one time, I was taking Russian and Spanish language classes, as well as

courses in Soviet politics.

Despite how it might have appeared, I was just a naïve Midwestern girl trying to make sense of the world. Oh, and I had a crazy idea that I wanted to be a foreign correspondent.

At that time, studying the Soviet Union often meant studying about Castro’s Cuba. Neither were places that any normal-thinking person would want to be, much less emulate.

Abject poverty. Repression. Persecution of political enemies. Lack of a free press.

It is no wonder that over the years thousands have fled Cuba, often risking their lives to make it to Florida’s shores.

Yet, even when the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, taking with it billions of dollars in annual subsidies for Cuba, Castro managed to keep his grasp on his island nation. Even riots in Havana in 1994 did not topple his regime.

Ill health finally led Castro to turn the reins of power over to younger brother Raul in 2008.

Even so, his influence still could be felt, particularly when he would sound off to denounce any softening in policy toward the U.S. Still, a thaw is underway between Cuba and the U.S. Perhaps now that Castro has died, it will be met with less controversy among the hard-liners in Little Havana.

Hope – esperanza in Spanish – has returned to Cuba.

Kirkland village president announces he won’t seek another term

By BRETT ROWLAND

browland@shawmedia.com KIRKLAND – After holding elected office in the village for more than three decades, longtime Kirkland leader Les Bellah plans to step down when his term ends in May. Bellah, 67, announced earlier this year that he wouldn’t seek re-election next spring. Bellah made the same promise in 2004, opting not to run for another term in 2005. But after two years on the sidelines, he put his name in and won a seat on the Village Board, eventually becoming village president again.

This time, he said, is different, insisting he won’t seek elected office at the village level again.

Bellah was first elected to the Village Board in 1983. He ran for the position two times before getting elected on his third try. Of his 30-plus years in office, he was Kirkland’s village president for 16 years. While being an elected official in a small town (the population has grown to about 1,800) isn’t always easy, Bellah said that the good parts of the job always outweighed the bad.

“I just really enjoy public service,” he said. “Being the way I am, I don’t like to fool around. I like to get stuff done.”

In addition to his work in Kirkland, Bellah served as vice president of the Illinois Municipal League Board of Directors and was president of the Northern Illinois Mayors Association. He credited both organizations and their members with helping him over the years.

Bellah and his wife, Patsy, moved to Kirkland in 1970. They had a daughter, Shannon, in 1974 and a son, Scott, in 1979. He and Patsy were childhood sweethearts and have been married for 48 years. Bellah worked for Hamilton Sundstrand in Rockford until he retired in 2003.

Bellah had a difficult childhood, attending 17 schools in 12 years.

Much of the moving around was because of alcohol problems in the family, he said.

“I was discouraged a lot growing up,” he said.

As for getting involved in public service, Bellah said, “I just had the

Bellah is not seeking re-election as village president after serving four terms, two of them consecutively. He plans on staying active in the community, frequenting Village Board meetings and lending a hand whenever he can. drive to do it.”

In office, two of his biggest challenges involved natural disasters.

DeKalb County was one of 11 counties declared a federal disaster area after flooding in July 1996 that affected more than 700 people, including many in Kirkland, where the Congress Lakes Estates trailer park was inundated.

The deadly April 9, 2015, tornado that hit Fairdale and the surrounding areas also tested the Kirkland community. Fairdale is “like our little sister city,” Bellah said at the time.

“When they hurt, we hurt,” Bellah told the Daily Chronicle after the tornado. “When they die, a little bit of us dies.”

Bellah said the tornado and its aftermath was the most challenging task he had to respond to, but also the

most rewarding. Bellah said one of the most difficult things he had to do “was stay out of the way and let people do their jobs.”

DeKalb County Sheriff Roger Scott praised Bellah’s work during the recovery.

“He had the spirit and the heart of the recovery effort,” Scott said. “He was personally and enthusiastically involved in the recovery effort. We really appreciated his support.”

Bellah said that his time in office was helped by “really good boards.”

His attitude toward the public work also likely contributed to his longevity.

“I don’t take stuff personally,” he said.

Bellah said he knows that leaving the job won’t be easy. And he isn’t sure what he’ll do next.

“He had the spirit and the heart of the recovery effort. He was personally and enthusiastically involved in the recovery effort. We really appreciated his support.”

“I haven’t given it a lot of thought,” he said.

However, he will stay involved in the community through his music and events such as Pickin’ In The Park and commemorative events for Memorial Day and Veterans Day.

2 sentenced to probation in drug case Men pleaded guilty in connection with NIU student’s LSD death

By BRETT ROWLAND

browland@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – A judge on Tuesday sentenced two men who pleaded guilty to drug charges in connection with a Northern Illinois University student’s 2015 death to probation.

Michael R. Kielhack, 21, of the 600 block of Woodbridge Drive in Elgin, and Michael Z. Montgomery, 20, of the 1800 block of Abriter Court in Naperville, were initially charged with giving the hallucinogenic drug LSD to a Northern Illinois University student who later fell to his death from a dormitory window. In October, both pleaded guilty to amended charges of possession of a controlled substance as part of a deal with prosecutors. The crime typically is punishable by one to three years in prison.

DeKalb County Chief Judge Robbin Stuckert sentenced the two former NIU students to a two-year form of probation that could spare them felony convictions.

“Those decisions that you made that night had horrible, horrible consequences,” the judge said. “I have been the presiding judge over [drug] treatment court since 2006, and I cannot tell you the number of lives that have been destroyed by the use of drugs, by the use of alcohol. ... If there was one thing I wish I could do with this sentence,

Montgomery (front), 20, of Naperville, and Michael Kielhack, 21, of Elgin, enter their guilty pleas to Judge Robbin Stuckert on Oct. 12, 2016 at the DeKalb County Courthouse in Sycamore. it’s bring back this individual whose life was lost for making a poor decision himself that night, but we all know that I cannot do that. So what I have to look at is a sentence that is just.”

A third man charged in the case – Thomas P. Quirke, 20, of the 200 block of Oakhurst Drive in Aurora – is accused of selling the drugs to Northern Illinois University students before the death of 19-year-old NIU geology major Oluwarotimi “Timi” Okedina. Quirke, who pleaded not guilty in May, is next due in court Dec. 12.

Okedina fell Sept. 26, 2015, from an 11th-floor window in a room at Steven-

son Towers C building. Toxicology reports showed he had LSD and marijuana in his system when he died.

After Okedina’s death, police learned that he and other students had taken LSD that night. Assistant State’s Attorney Alicia Caplan, who prosecuted the case, said Okedina had a bad reaction to the drug and locked himself in a dorm room. Police said he removed a window screen before accidentally falling to his death.

At a hearing Tuesday, Caplan asked the judge to consider all sentencing options available under the law. She didn’t request a specific punishment.

“I understand the charge is possession of a controlled substance, the circumstances that surround these cases are much larger than that,” the prosecutor said. “It’s an incident that caused someone’s death.”

Caplan said the case was unusual and acknowledged there were other, mitigating factors that needed to be considered.

“It’s unfortunate that a lot of college students view drugs as something they can do that is recreational, that it’s something that no one gets hurt, that it’s something that’s fun to do on weekends,” she said. “Making those decisions can have very serious consequences. In this case, someone died.”

Caplan said that while Kielhack and Montgomery didn’t think that what they were doing at the time could result in the death of one of their classmates, that’s what happened.

Kielhack had asked several friends if they wanted to take LSD that weekend and asked Montgomery if he knew anyone who could get the drugs. In

turn, Montgomery contacted Quirke, who drove to DeKalb and gave LSD to Kielhack and others, including Montgomery, Caplan said.

Prosecutors had initially charged all three men with unlawful delivery of a controlled substance, which typically carries a sentence of four to 15 years in prison.

Both Kielhack and Montgomery made brief statements before they were sentenced. Kielhack said that losing a friend “was the most devastating thing.”

“It will be with me for the rest of my life. This led to me never experiment with drugs ever again,” he said. “Every day I wish it had never happened.”

Montgomery called that night the “biggest mistake” he’d ever made, and said he had learned from it.

“I thought I was a friend to someone ... I think about it every day,” he said.

“It could happen to me, it could happen to anybody.”

If both men successfully complete probation, they could ask a judge to remove the conviction from their record.

In addition to probation, Stuckert ordered both men to get drug and alcohol assessments, submit to three random drug tests and perform 30 hours of community service. They also will be required to pay fines and other costs.

Both also will have to prove that they are working or enrolled in college courses.

Kielhack’s attorney, David Camic, and Montgomery’s attorney, Bob Nolan, both praised Stuckert’s fairness in sentencing after the hearing.

Council OKs budget plan after contentious meeting

By ERIC R. OLSON

eolson@shawmedia.com DeKALB – A contentious public hearing on the city’s 2017 budget led to heated exchanges between City Council members and staff Monday, after city staff presented a budget proposal calling for steep cuts in the amount the city contributes to social service and other agencies.

The budget proposal, presented by Finance Director Cathy Haley, called for reducing by tens of thousands of dollars the annual contributions the

city makes to agencies including the DeKalb County Convention and Visitors Bureau, DeKalb County Economic Development Corp., and the DeKalb Chamber of Commerce.

It also called for slashing $125,000 from the amount the city contributes to social service agencies such as Safe Passage, Family Service Agency, Youth Service Bureau and others – a 75 percent reduction. During more than an hour and 20 minutes of public comment, representatives of several of the potentially affected agencies, including David Miller, executive director

at Family Service Agency of DeKalb County, said the proposed cuts would be a grave mistake.

“That sends a clear message out to the community that those who are most in need of the services really are not important, our senior citizens, our youth who are facing challenges, victims of domestic violence, working families who are trying to stay afloat, those who are facing depression, other mental health issues, struggling with substance abuse, those who are homeless,” Miller said. “… Instead of caring about these cit-

izens, the proposal tonight would increase the city’s burden in the long run by adding to the police and the ambulance as they’re reacting to increased problems.”

Council members later gave preliminary approval to a $36.3 million budget that restored $236,500 in funding for outside programs. Council members also asked staff members to present other options for budget cuts that would offset the extra spending.

OBITUARIES CHARLOTTE MARIE CLARK

How to submit

Born: April 29, 1934 Died: November 26, 2016

Charlotte Marie Clark, of Rochelle passed away on November 26th, 2016, surrounded by her loving sons, after a brief illness.

Charlotte Marie Needham was born in Dekalb, Illinois on April 29th, 1934, to Fred B. and Blanche (Larson) Needham of Maple Park. She was greeted at home by her siblings, Martha, Bill, Alice, Donald and, soon after followed Linda. She attended Maple Park High School (class of ‘52) and worked at the towns Dairy Bar. She was extremely proud of her Dad, the town Blacksmith, and her Mother, who was adored by all. Charlotte met Eugene “Gene” Clark at a roller rink in DeKalb. They were married in 1959.

They were soon joined by their five sons: Steven Edward, James William, Mitchell David, Thomas Patrick and Timothy Gene, known locally as “The Clark Boys”. They were her lifelong pride and joys, to whom she remained fiercely loyal and supportive of until the end. With her husband, Gene, they opened and ran The University Shop men’s clothing store in downtown DeKalb, and two DeKalb area motels.

Charlotte, or “Snorky”, as she was know by many, was a generous, tireless, caring and thoughtful woman who always put others before herself. She was very quick with a zinger and could make anyone laugh, or stop the tears of those who needed comforting.

She could coach little league in a pinch, make peanut brittle to perfection, or hit a golf ball into the stratosphere. For eight years in a row she was co-host to her son’s now legendary Thanksgiving parties in New York City; cooking, entertaining and playing mother hen to over 250 people at the last one in 2007.

She made many, many friends in NYC, who cherish her to this day. Her grandchildren and newly-arrived great-grandchildren were the great joys in her life, for whom her love knew no bounds.

She was preceded in death by Gene Clark, her parents, Fred and Blanche; her sisters, Martha (Wallis), Linda (Rubeck), Alice (Smith); and brothers, Bill and Donald (Jug)

Needham.

She leaves behind her sons, Steven (Ami) of Mt. Morris, James (Cindy) of Rochelle, Mitchell of Sycamore, Thomas of New York City and Timothy (Heide) of Genoa; as well as ten grandchildren, Sarah, Brian, Megan, Avery, Chase, Jennifer, Heather, Matthew, Ashley and Reed (her best pal!); and two great-grandchildren, Libby and Kaylee.

There will be a private family service.

DeKalb mayor “… They did what I expected them to do and proved that they are here to serve themselves, they are here to ensure that the raises are either expected or guaranteed and that they get paid more while the community continues to suffer.”

Jacobson proposed a measure that would have required staff cuts be substituted for the $236,500 in outside spending; the proposal was defeated when Mayor John Rey voted “no” to create a 4-4 tie.

Rey disputed Jacobson’s claim that proposing slashing social service funding was a calculated move. He said at a meeting earlier in November, council members had instructed

spending reductions – could receive final approval at the council’s Dec. 12 meeting.

Aside from payments to its police and fire pension fund, the city does not use property tax revenue to pay for operations, relying instead on a variety of other taxes and fees.

Aldermen are intent on maintaining a 25 percent reserve fund balance in order to stave off another credit rating downgrade. Without other spending cuts, the city’s reserve fund would be $8.8 million – about 24.2 percent of general fund expenses.

Some want reductions in staffing costs, which were conspicuously untouched in the budget. Leading that charge was Ward 1 Alderman David Jacobson, who railed at the staff for manufacturing outrage among the public by putting social service agencies on the chopping block without any consideration of staffing or pay cuts.

“To come up with those cuts right now, you should be ashamed of yourselves, honestly, because there was no way we were going to vote for those things and you knew that,” Jacobson said.

staff to identify noncore city spending.

“I don’t think staff was imagining those cuts or throwing up a smokescreen with those cuts,” Rey said.

“There was serious consideration given to what they’re hearing from the majority of this City Council.”

City Manager Anne Marie Gaura said she viewed staff reductions as a last resort. She pointed out that the city’s department heads had cut more than $700,000 from their initial spending plan before being asked to make $1 million more in budget cuts.

She also pointed out that the city of DeKalb was paying far more than some other towns for to local organizations. The city pays the same amount as DeKalb County – and less than Sycamore – to the DCEDC, and also pays much more than Sycamore to the Convention and Visitors Bureau, Gaura said.

Ward 3 Alderman Michael Marquardt, who voted against requiring staff cuts, joined Jacobson, Dave Baker, Anthony Faivre and Bill Finucane in voting to ask staff members to give them options for possible spending cuts to compensate for restoring the outside spending.

Rey, along with council members Bob Snow and Kate Noreiko, voted no.

“Business owners cannot pick and choose to follow laws simply because they personally disagree with same-sex couples’ decision to marry.”

The Associated Press

CHICAGO – A same-sex couple denied access to a Paxton bed-and-breakfast while planning their civil union ceremony has won another legal victory in a five-year discrimination case that’s highlighted the conflict between religious freedoms and gay civil rights.

Owners of the Timber Creek Bed & Breakfast contend they don’t believe in same-sex unions and refused to consider hosting Todd and Mark Wathen’s ceremony in 2011, the year Illinois legalized same-sex civil unions. However, an administrative judge ruled last year that the owners violated the state’s Human Rights Act because the couple was denied a venue based on sexual orientation.

A three-member panel of the Illinois Human Rights Commission sided with the judge earlier this month by declining to take on the case.

On Tuesday, attorneys with the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois, among several representing the Wathens, said the move is a clear interpretation of Illinois law, whether applied to civil unions or marriage. Illinois legalized same-sex marriage in 2013 and the Wathens have since wed.

News from across the state Illinois House committee approves revised Exelon legislation

SPRINGFIELD – An Illinois House committee has endorsed a revised plan to subsidize state nuclear plants.

The Energy Committee voted, 10-1, to send the legislation to benefit Exelon and two of its Illinois nuclear plants to the House floor.

The plan now would provide $235 million a year for Exelon for 13 years to reward the company because nuclear energy is produced without emitting damaging greenhouse gases. Exelon would use the money to shore up unprofitable nuclear plants in the Quad Cities and Clinton.

“The commission’s decision once again sends a clear message that denying couples the use of a public wedding venue in Illinois because they are gay or lesbian is simply not permitted,” ACLU director John Knight said.

“Business owners cannot pick and choose to follow laws simply because they personally disagree with same-

sex couples’ decision to marry.”

However, Jason Craddock, an attorney for the bed-and-breakfast owners, said he plans to fight the decision.

The owners have been ordered to pay around $80,000 in damages and legal fees and allow same-sex couples access to their facilities. Timber Creek’s website still notes that they do “not

Evanston aldermen pass strengthened ‘welcoming city’ law

CHICAGO – City council members in Evanston have passed legislation strengthening its status as being welcoming to immigrants.

WBEZ reports that the Evanston City Council unanimously passed the measure Monday. It forbids police and city employees from asking about a person’s immigration status and from reporting undocumented immigrants to the federal government.

Several aldermen said they felt the measure was necessary to reassure immigrant communities.

Evanston passed its previous Welcoming City Ordinance in 2008.

The measure comes after President-elect Donald Trump said during the

Reward offered in search for missing Pekin boy

PEKIN – Police are offering a $1,000 reward for information in the disappearance of a 13-year-old boy who has been missing for two weeks.

The Pekin Daily Times reports that Pekin police offered the reward Monday for help in their search for Robert Bee Jr. The boy’s mother reported him missing on Nov. 18. Police designated him a runaway.

Spokesman Mike Eeten says the department dedicated an investigation unit after the boy couldn’t be found for ensuing days.

The boy is 4-foot-6, weighs 110 pounds and was last seen wearing and red and gray shirt, jeans and red shoes.

Police say they haven’t issued an Amber Alert because they don’t have evidence the boy was abducted.

Authorities have issued a Missing and

host civil union or gay marriage ceremonies and/or receptions.”

Craddock said he wasn’t surprised by the panel’s move and was prepared to ask the whole commission to consider the case and, if necessary, take it beyond the agency to an Illinois appellate court.

“We’re going through all the steps,” Craddock said, adding that the owners have been “punished for living out their faith.”

The case was among several that cropped up in response to Illinois legalizing same-sex civil unions. But there hasn’t been a similar response since Illinois began issuing same-sex marriage licenses in 2014, according to the ACLU. The following year, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that gay marriage is legal nationwide.

Slain man’s fiancee accuses alleged gang member

CHICAGO – The fiancee of a federal informant allegedly killed by a purported street-gang leader told jurors that she recognized the masked gunman as he ambushed her family in Dolton.

Shanice Peatry testified Monday that the man shot her fiance, Keith Daniels, while the couple and their two children were outside her apartment in April 2013. Peatry said she recognized the gunman’s eyes and his dreadlocks sticking out from his mask.

“It was so many (shots), I couldn’t count,” Peatry said. “It kind of felt like it was in slow motion to me, like he wasn’t in no rush.”

When asked to identify the gunman in court, Peatry pointed at Paris Poe, an alleged Hobos gang leader.

“Him, right there,” she said in a barely audible voice.

Price, Obamacare foe, to oversee health care

By STEVE PEOPLES and RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Reaching deep into conservative territory, President-elect Donald Trump chose Georgia Rep. Tom Price to oversee the nation’s health care system on Tuesday, picking a fierce Obamacare critic who also has championed efforts to privatize Medicare. Trump selected another veteran Republican, Elaine Chao, to lead the Department of Transportation.

Both have long ties to Washington.

Price, picked to lead the Department of Health and Human Services after more than a decade in Congress, helped craft House Speaker Paul Ryan’s plan to privatize Medicare – a position Trump opposed in the campaign. Chao, who was the first Asian-American woman to serve in a president’s Cabinet, is married to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

The selections came as Trump spent Tuesday with advisers in his Manhattan skyscraper, racing through meetings with prospective administration hires as high-profile vacancies loom – none bigger than secretary of State. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, on the shortlist for the nation’s chief diplomat, was to have a private dinner with the incoming president.

At the same time, Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein delivered $3.5 million to the state of Wisconsin to guarantee a recount in one of the states that fueled Trump’s unexpected victory.

Stein, who is also pursuing recounts in Pennsylvania and Michigan, has raised concerns that the results may have been hacked.

Trump has assailed the Green Party effort as a scam

Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga., chairman of the House Budget Committee, appears before the Rules Committee Jan. 5, joined at right by Rep. John Yarmuth, D-Ky., on Capitol Hill in Washington. Republicans hope Price will preside over the dismantlement of President Barack Obama’s signature health care law. and separately has made unsupported claims of voter fraud in other states.

Meanwhile, Price’s selection raised questions about the incoming president’s commitment to Medicare, among other popular entitlement programs he repeatedly vowed to preserve before the election.

The Georgia congressman led GOP efforts on Capitol Hill to transform Medicare into a voucher-like system, a change that if enacted, would likely dramatically reduce government spending on the health care program that serves an estimated 57 million people.

Trump did not address Price’s position on Medicare in a statement released by his transition team. The team did not respond to subsequent questions about it.

“Chairman Price, a renowned physician, has earned a reputation for being a tireless problem solver and the goto expert on health care policy, making him the ideal choice to serve in this capacity,” Trump said. “He is exceptionally qualified to shepherd our commitment to repeal and replace Obamacare and bring affordable and accessible health care to every American.”

Trump, in a 2015 interview promoted on his campaign website, pledged not to cut expensive entitlement programs that Republicans have fought for years to cut to help reduce the federal deficit.

“I’m not going to cut Social Security like every other Republican. And I’m not going to cut Medicare or Medicaid. Every other Republican’s going to cut,” Trump told the Daily Signal.

He later changed his mind on Medicaid, embracing the GOP concept of turning the program over to the states with a fixed amount of federal “block grant” funding.

Like any Cabinet official, Price would carry out the wishes of the president. And a sweeping Medicare initiative would have to go through Congress with some Democratic support, which would be unlikely.

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders charged that Price “has a long history of wanting to do exactly the opposite of what Trump campaigned on.”

“Rep. Price has a long history of wanting to cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. What hypocrisy!” Sanders said in a statement.

ANOTHER VIEW

It’s time for AFSCME to show its hand In a month filled with horrible fiscal news, a ruling by the Illinois Labor Board could serve as the catalyst to starting the long process of improving the disaster otherwise known as the state’s finances.

The Labor Board unanimously ruled Nov. 15 contract talks between the state and Council 31 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees are at an impasse. That allowed Gov. Bruce Rauner’s administration to impose its contract terms on the union that represents about 38,000 state employees – and the governor started taking some of those steps the next day. The state notified workers of its intent to implement an employee merit pay plan and extend the workweek to 40 hours before overtime is paid.

AFSCME has said it plans to appeal the ruling.

The union says it wants Rauner to return to the bargaining table and work on a contract that should have started July 1, 2015.

Rauner is under no obligation to negotiate. We recommend he does, but only – and this is mandatory in our eyes – if a hard-and-fast expiration date is set so both sides come ready to negotiate. AFSCME must come to the table with a proposal that indicates the union understands just how precarious Illinois’ finances are. Waking up from the state’s fiscal nightmare is going to cause pain. It’s unfair for pretty much everyone, and sadly, we’ve a long way to go before the agony ceases. Keeping the bigger picture in mind when considering any state expense commitment is mandatory.

AFSCME has a harder task than other unions in negotiations because of the breadth of employees it represents. While the governor’s office points to the 18 unions that have settled contract talks with it, those unions combined represent about 5,000 people and are more likely to represent one type of employee. AFSCME has employees who range from caregivers for people with disabilities to corrections officers, and there is a correspondingly huge range in pay.

AFSCME told this editorial board it hasn’t presented its last/best offer. Here’s their chance: Publicly release it. Let the public know what you’re asking for, so taxpayers can judge the merits. Make it compelling, so the governor’s administration would look unreasonable to not give it consideration.

A return to the bargaining table, with a firm date for an agreement set, could give taxpayers the decision they deserved months ago.

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Fraud accusations endanger democracy The recent presidential campaign eroded custom after custom, but in the end the legitimacy of the results and the sanctity of the peaceful transition of power were reaffirmed. Or so it seemed.

Once the electoral college vote was clear, Hillary Clinton graciously conceded to President-elect Donald Trump, and President Barack Obama promised to work for a smooth transition. Neither emphasized the fact Clinton won the popular vote.

Then Jill Stein, the Green Party presidential nominee, pressed for recounts in a handful of swing states, based on thin suspicions of election tampering. The Clinton campaign indicated it saw little reason to initiate a recount or any other kind of inquiry, but announced it would join in anyway so its representatives would be present for any official review.

The likely results of Stein’s recount effort are twofold: enhancing her fundraising and sowing

unfounded doubts in Americans’ minds about the integrity of the election.

Yet it was Trump’s reaction that was the most corrosive. The president-elect lashed out on Twitter on Sunday.

“In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally,” Trump wrote, offering zero evidence for the incendiary charge.

The president-elect appeared to be repeating a debunked story circulating on conspiracy-peddling right-wing websites that claims millions of noncitizens voted.

Trump is the president-elect.

He above all others bears responsibility to safeguard and defend the integrity of the nation’s democratic government. Instead, he illogically attacked the very system that resulted in his victory. For those who hoped

as president-elect he would be slower to take offense than he had been as candidate, and less willing to trade in lies, the tweet came as one more disappointment.

Trump’s overreaction suggests he is not prepared for the responsibilities of the presidency or the scrutiny that comes with it.

The nation, in fact, does have a voting problem, but it is not the imaginary fraud Trump conjures.

Rather, it is a system that makes it too difficult for citizens to cast their votes. Registration procedures are unnecessarily restrictive. Early voting opportunities are needlessly limited. Lines are way too long. Names are too easily purged from voter rolls.

Election equipment lacks paper trails in some states.

Yet, if Trump’s preoccupation with phantom voting fraud is any indication, his administration may spend a lot of time making ballot access worse, not better.

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 Washington Post

“If a nation expects to be ignorant and free ... it expects what never was and never will be.” – Thomas Jefferson

Leonard Pitts per.” Maybe you’ve heard of it.

Ahem.

Yes, there is a point here, and it is this: The facts are knowable – and easily so. So the proliferation of fake news should tell you something.

Before we go further, however, a definition of terms. Fake news is not to be confused with satirical news as seen on shows such as “Saturday Night Live” and “Last Week Tonight.” Fake news is not a humorous comment on the news. Rather, fake news seeks to supplant the news, to sway its audience into believing all sorts of untruths and conspiracy theories, the more bizarre, the better.

There is, for instance, the “story” that opponents of Donald Trump beat a homeless veteran to death. Didn’t happen.

There is also the “story” that Hillary Clinton molested children in the backroom of a Washington, D.C.,

pizzeria. Also didn’t happen.

The New York Times recently did a case study of a fake news story.

It originated with Eric Tucker, a marketing executive in Austin, who posted pictures of buses he claimed had been used to transport paid protesters to an anti-Trump rally. This blew up on Facebook and Twitter.

By the next day, Trump himself was tweeting about “professional protesters, incited by media.”

But this, too, didn’t happen. The buses had, in fact, been hired by a software company for a conference.

Asked why he didn’t check this, Tucker told the Times, “I’m also a very busy businessman and I don’t have time to fact-check everything that I put out there.”

Can we get a Bronx cheer right here for “citizen journalism?”

As noted above, real journalists regularly produce real news that is easily accessible. So the rise of fake news speaks not to the unavailability of the real thing, but, rather to a preference for the phony one. It is no coincidence fake news almost always seems to find greatest pur-

chase among conservatives, or that the stories it tells almost always seem to validate their sense of their own victimhood.

But the president is right – these lies are eating like termites through the foundations of democracy, a process likely to accelerate as Obama is succeeded by one of the chief national distributors of this political manure.

The right wing has led us so far down the rabbit hole of its alt-right alt-reality that we now face the very real prospect of military and policy choices hinged on things “people are saying” or tweets from those who are too “busy” to check facts.

One recalls what Jefferson said about the incompatibility of ignorance and freedom – and one wonders how long we have. Fake news drives a fake worldview. But the decisions made from that will be real.

And the consequences, too.

Trump’s win no cause for sadness

To the Editor: This is in response to the letter written

by Mary Ellen Schaid, director of Safe Passage (“Safe Passage will stand with you,” page 12, Nov. 18).

A ND

There is no doubt that Safe Passage is an honorable organization. What I doubt is the mass dissatisfaction with the election results.

President Bill Clinton lowered the requirements for a house loan and this resulted in homes being purchased by people who could not afford them. They lost them, and they went into a mortgage foreclosure causing a crash in the housing market.

We lost our subdivision, and I lost $2.5 million.

Under Obama’s leadership, the economy crept along at about 2 percent growth in contrast to the normal 5 percent or 6 percent. If Hillary Clinton had been elected, we would have seen a third Obama term, with continued slow growth.

I am grateful for Donald Trump and see no cause for dissatisfaction. The Democrats are on the way out and the Republicans are on the way in and recovery is on the way.

There is good news on fake news.

As you doubtless know, the proliferation thereof has people fretting.

President Obama has dubbed it a threat to democracy. And there is a rising demand for social media outlets such as Facebook and Twitter, often used as platforms for these viral untruths, to take corrective action.

But the good news is that anyone who wishes to avoid fake news can do so easily. There is, in fact, a news platform that specializes in gathering and disseminating non-fake news.

So committed are its people to this mission that some have been known to risk, and even to lose, their lives in the process.

Granted, this platform is imperfect – sometimes it is guilty of error or even bias. But hardly ever will you find it trafficking in intentional falsehoods.

Barbs sweep Knights in conference opener

By JOHN GALLIONE

sports@daily-chronicle.com DEKALB – The DeKalb girls bowling team rebounded from an opening-day loss to Marengo, sweeping the Kaneland Knights.

DeKalb sophomore Reagan Harold led all bowlers with a total score of 509 on the day.

“I switched balls after my first game,” Harold said. “I changed from my (Storm) IQ to my Snap Lock. They’re the same brand and same weight, but the Snap Lock hooks more, which is what I needed today.”

Harold rolled a high game of 254 against Marengo on Monday. Despite her efforts, the Barbs (1-1) lost that meet. Barbs coach Mike Davis said that while his team bowled the same score today as they did yesterday,

they were cleaner in today’s match.

“We left a lot of things open yesterday,” Davis said. “We had a 253 and a 254 in our scores yesterday, but we didn’t stay clean and pick up spares when we needed to. Tonight, we capitalized more often.”

The Barbs aren’t a particularly veteran team, with only two seniors on the roster. Davis says that gives his team a change to grow over this season.

“We have two juniors, a sophomore and a freshman on our (six-bowler) roster. Once we start bowling more consistently, everything will start to look up. We have only been bowling for a couple of weeks. We have a lot of stuff scheduled after Christmas, so that gives us time to work on some things.

sports@daily-chronicle.com SYCAMORE – The Sycamore girls bowling team continued their regular season dominance after beating Sterling by a score of 3,305 to 2,481 on Tuesday night at Four Seasons bowling alley in Sycamore.

The regular season victory extends the Spartans’ win streak to 8-0 against conference opponents that reaches all the way back to the beginning of last season.

In every game bowled on Tuesday night, the Spartans scored over 1,000

points; those scores were 1,018 in Game 1, 1,021 in Game 2, and made a statement in the last game with a total score of 1,266.

“We had a much stronger performance than our numbers might say,” Sycamore coach Andy Hampton said.

“We’ve bowled pretty well so far, but I did not see a score of 3,300 coming after our first meet, so it’s very impressive. The girls just continued to stay strong tonight.

Early on it was a little here and a little there and they came out and shot the way they did in the last game. It was a strong performance by a young club.”

The top individual score of the night

came from Megan Kolberg, who participated in her first varsity meet of her career and shot a 615 after three games.

Lanni Howerton finished in second place after shooting 595, and senior and reigning All-Area Bowler of the Year, Alexis Kolberg, shot just behind Howerton with a 590 score. All top three finishers for the Spartans scored higher than the Warriors top three bowlers. Sterling’s top bowler was Zoey Paone, who finished with 452.

“We struggled a little bit tonight, and their approaches are a lot better than ours,” Sterling coach Loren Wolf said.

“We had a little trouble trying to adjust

to the lane conditions and getting our footing right. We need to work on our accuracy and where we hit the pins at this point.”

After just two meets of the season, Hampton sees one team characteristic that can carry his team all year long.

“The only thing I was interested in seeing how the team chemistry was going to be put together,” Hampton said.

“Sometimes it never happens or takes a year or so, but it looks to me like they’re coming together as a team a lot faster than I thought they would. There’s no substitute for that.”

18 BLACKHAWKS

Could Hossa follow in Jagr’s aging footsteps?

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com Brian Campbell is 37 years old, playing nearly 20 minutes a night on the top pairing on the top team in the Western Conference, and he started laughing before the question was even completed.

Can he see himself playing well into his mid-40s, the way the legendary Jaromir Jagr has?

“No,” Campbell said, emphatically.

“I don’t imagine it, and it won’t happen.”

But Campbell didn’t have to look far to think of someone who can. How about the guy who has 11 goals already as his 38th birthday draws near?

The guy Kris Versteeg described as a “Greek god” thanks to his chiseled physique. The guy who is signed beyond his 42nd birthday.

If anyone can do what Jagr has done, it’s Marian Hossa.

“I could see Hoss,” Campbell said.

“He did sign about that long.”

Jagr is a freak of hockey nature, third on the all-time list in goals (752) and points (1,879) despite spending three full seasons in the KHL from 2008-2011. His obsession is singular and mind-boggling. He reportedly works more than four hours a day on his 44-year-old body. He’s had a key to the rink on his last several teams, so he could skate on his own whenever he felt the need. He has said he started doing 1,000 squats a day as a 7-year-old to get an edge.

Hossa’s routine?

“I’ve got two kids, so I run around,”

AP photo

Blackhawks right wing Marian Hossa scores against Colorado Avalanche goalie Semyon Varlamov during the first period Nov. 3 at the United Center he said with a laugh. “That’s kept me in shape.”

It’s a bit more involved than that, of course. As he’s gotten older, Hossa’s daily routine has become far more elaborate. And he takes more days off than any of his Hawks teammate, a right he’s earned after being the consummate professional throughout his 18-plus seasons in the NHL. The wear and tear on Hossa is different than it is on Jagr. Hossa plays

a more physical game, using his size and power to ward off defenders and go hard to the net. And Jagr has had just one deep playoff run – with the 2013 Boston Bruins, who lost to Hossa and the Hawks in the Stanley Cup Final – over the last 15 years.

In fact, perhaps no player has played as many heavy minutes as Hossa has in the past decade, with five Stanley Cup Final appearances and a conference final since the spring of 2008. And

age appeared to have caught up with him last season, when he scored a career-low 13 goals in 64 games.

But his first long offseason since the 2012 lockout rejuvenated him.

“That definitely helped me to recharge the batteries and take a long break from hockey,” Hossa said.

“Right now, I feel l’ve got more enthusiasm, more energy, and I feel like I have more drive.”

The question is, does Hossa even want to play as long as Jagr, who entered the league as a fabulously mulleted Penguins rookie 26 years ago, before nine of the current Hawks were even born? Hossa said he’s always intended to play out his entire 12-year contract, which runs through the 202021 season. Health always has been the only thing that could stop him.

Hossa is still startlingly quick on the backcheck, and so freakishly strong that, in Vinnie Hinostroza’s words, “It’s pretty much impossible to take the puck away from him.”

“He’s showing everybody this year that he’s not slowing down one bit,” Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said.

Hossa called Jagr “amazing” and “impressive,” but cautioned that “everybody’s different.” That said, he’s certainly not ruling out the idea of following in Jagr’s ancient footsteps.

The way Hossa sees it, he’ll play as long as he’s still having fun. And, boy, is he having fun.

“It matters what level I’m playing at,” he said. “If I feel like I’m not playing at my level, I probably wouldn’t enjoy it. But if I am playing the level I feel I am playing now, it’s still fun.”

Toews out again as Hawks brace for new-look Panthers

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com The Blackhawks returned to the United Center on Tuesday, but they once again took the ice without Jonathan Toews, who missed his third straight game with an upper-body injury.

Toews was injured after an awkward fall along the boards in San Jose last Wednesday and hasn’t skated since. Hawks coach Joel Quenneville, who has been deeming Toews “day to day” for nearly a week now, said his captain hasn’t had a setback, but that he’s “the same.” A team source said it

ing dumped during a road trip. Interim coach Tom Rowe, Florida’s general manager, said the images were misleading, and that he was with Gallant for “30 to 35 minutes” outside, and had inquired about a car service to pick him up.

“Yeah, I know how it looked,” Rowe said. “It didn’t look great. But that was not how it went down.”

Former Panthers defenseman Brian Campbell said he was “shocked” by FIRING FALLOUT The Panthers have been taking the firing of Gallant, who was the runheat for firing coach Gerard Gallant ner-up for the Jack Adams Trophy last on Sunday night, and for the images year as coach of the year after leading of Gallant waiting for a cab outside the Panthers to the Atlantic Division PNC Arena in Raleigh, N.C., after be- title. was not a concussion.

Quenneville said Toews was still questionable for Thursday’s game against the New Jersey Devils.

“You’d like to get him back on the ice,” Quenneville said. “As soon as you see him on the ice, you’ve got an idea he’s close to playing. Jonny wants to be out there in the worst way, so we’ll do everything we can to get him back.”

“I didn’t know that it was that bad of a situation,” Campbell said. “I really like Gerard, I think he’s a good coach, I thought he was fair. He did some really good things for that organization.”

ROSTER REPORT

Michal Kempny was a healthy scratch for the third time in four games, with Michal Rozsival playing for the fourth time in six games (he played just four times in the first 18).

Jordin Tootoo returned to the lineup after suffering an apparent foot injury blocking a shot in Anaheim. Andrew Desjardins was scratched for the fourth time in six games.

By STEVE GREENBERG

sgreenberg@suntimes.com Jon Jay? You don’t say.

The Cubs and Jay, a veteran outfielder who will be 32 on Opening Day, agreed Tuesday to a one-year contract worth a reported $8 million.

Jay has played seven major league seasons – his first six with the Cubs’ rivals in St. Louis – primarily as a center fielder. He can play all three outfield spots, but he’s known for his glove work in the middle of the outfield. Jay’s career fielding percentage in center is .996, the highest mark for any active player (minimum 500 games) at the po-

sition.

Bigger picture: The move solidifies

months-long speculation that the Cubs will lose the services of popular center fielder Dexter Fowler, one of the heroes of the team’s drive to the World Series title. While Cubs fans come to terms with saying goodbye to “Dex,” the 30-year-old Fowler – a first-time All-Star in 2016 who tied for the team’s postseason lead with three home runs and 11 runs scored – will be seeking a lucrative, multiyear deal elsewhere.

“Incredible, man,” Fowler said during the playoffs of his two seasons on the North Side. “Cubbies fans always show me the love, and they know

I love them.”

How much Jay plays during the season to come will have a lot to do with the ongoing development of Albert Almora Jr., the team’s first-round draft pick in 2012 and a solid contributor off the bench during the 2016 regular season and playoffs. The right-handed-hitting Almora is considered a potential Gold Glove-level talent in center field and could have more upside offensively than the left-handed Jay. For now, the clear expectation is that Almora and Jay will share the position.

Jay is a career .287 hitter with 31 home runs, 253 RBIs and 374 runs scored. His OPS (.737) and stolen-base

(45) totals are modest, although he is coming off a strong season in San Diego. In 90 games with the Padres, he hit .291 with 26 doubles. Jay missed all of July and August after breaking his right forearm on a pitch thrown by the Nationals’ Gio Gonzalez.

Jay batted .300 in 105 games as a Cardinals rookie in 2010. He hit a career-high .305 in 2012, finishing 10th in the National League. He also posted a .303 average in 2014.

In 112 big-league at-bats last season, Almora hit .277 with three home runs and posted a .763 OPS. In 80 games at Triple-A Iowa last season, he hit .303 with 43 RBIs and stole 10 bases.

BULLS

One big, happy family

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com CHICAGO – There’s no pushback for Jimmy Butler this season.

His work ethic is now everyone’s work ethic.

Not the case in previous years, and definitely not the case with all the dysfunction going on last season, both on and off the court.

But there was Butler after Tuesday’s practice, proudly pointing out all the teammates still in the gym, getting up shots or having a 3-point contest.

“Yeah, I think of it like this: I don’t see what else you have to do all day. I don’t,” Butler said. “Like the job that we have it’s incredibly lenient. Like, you practice for an hour and a half, what do you do the rest of your day? Why don’t you come in here, work on your game?

Shoot? Watch some film? All you’re going to do is sit at home and play some video games on your phone anyways.

“But these guys are buying into that, which is great. And when you fall in love with the process, you find out that your confidence only comes from the work anyways.”

That’s all Butler wanted from last season’s team. He wanted the veteran players to buy in, and if that meant following his lead – like it or not – so be it. The not won.

Then came frustraRajon Rondo tion and finger pointing.

That is all gone. Like Butler, Rajon Rondo and Dwyane Wade are workers. So while last year’s team started to fade after Jan. 7, Butler’s feeling is this year’s version of the Bulls will be immune to that type of nose dive.

“I know what I think we’re going to continue to do,” Butler said. “I think we’re going to continue to win games.

We’re practicing extremely well right now, and the saying goes that if you’re practicing the way you play and all that good stuff, if we do that then I think we we’re going to win.”

December will test that, especially this first week. Yes, the “circus trip” is behind the Bulls, but they welcome the Lakers on Wednesday night before tipping off four games in five nights, including hosting LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday.

What Butler, Wade and Rondo are banking on is the team chemistry that has been built so far carries weight.

“As much as you see guys around each other, you’d think we live in a dorm together,” Butler said, when asked about a college atmosphere surrounding this team. “We all leave the building at the same time, we all eat together or are at somebody else’s house.

You would think, good or bad, that we are a college team. We’re always talking in a group chat or competing, some-

thing about this group of guys, we always wanna be around each other.

“We realize we’re all we have when we step out into the United Center floor or an away game. It’s us. These coaches, this organization.”

Which are words that look nice on T-shirts, but Butler also knows that wins need to be produced.

So far, so good in that department, as the Bulls will enter the final game of November 10-6. The Bulls were 11-5 through their first 16 games last season, as well as 22-12 through Jan. 7.

As the chemistry wilted, however, so did the winning.

“I told y’all that all last year,” Butler said. “It’s all fine and dandy when you’re winning. You lose a couple games, it seems everything goes to [expletive].”

Note: Coach Fred Hoiberg said Doug McDermott (concussion) still is not taking contact, and his timetable for that next stage remains day-to-day.

GOLF: HERO WORLD CHALLENGE

Just playing again a success for Tiger

By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press

NASSAU, Bahamas – This might be one time that Tiger Woods doesn’t measure success on the golf course by the score on his card.

He measured it with three words Tuesday: “I’m playing again.”

There were times during his 15 months away from golf that Woods wasn’t entirely sure that would be the case. He said that when he was at the Hero World Challenge last year, he needed help just to climb out of bed. At an outdoor party at Albany Golf Club, he would mingle for a few minutes and then sit on a stone bench.

He spent more time looking back than looking forward, saying at one point that anything else he achieved in golf would be “gravy.”

And now he can’t wait to get started

Thursday.

The 15-month break to heal after back surgeries is the longest he has been away from golf. Woods was a mixture of optimism and reality about his return.

He talked about having all the shots he needs to compete against a field that includes 17 players from the top 40 and Woods, the tournament host who is at a career-low No. 898 in the world rankings. He is playing, so he said he wants to win. The outlook is no different.

He also noted that Bubba Watson won last year at 25-under par, and it probably will take something around that to win.

“I know that’s a tall order since I’ve been away from the game for so long, and I’ve made a lot of different changes in my game,” he said. “Physically and also equipment, practice schedules, training, all that has evolved. The mindset of competing hasn’t. That is to go out there and try to beat these guys.”

This hot cocktail is soothing and comforting on a cold day

By THE CULINARY INSTITUTE OF AMERICA

A

fter a snowy walk or long day on the slopes, there’s nothing like curling up under a warm blanket.

Maybe you have a fire going and the dog asleep at your feet, with a good book just within reach.

But before you can relax, you need to warm up those cold hands and chilled bones. Before you settle in for your long winter’s nap, stir up this hot cider cocktail, featured at The Tavern at American Bounty at our campus in Hyde Park, New York.

Hot cocktails are inspired by the classic hot toddy, a curative mixture dating back centuries that includes

whiskey, rum, or brandy with hot water, a sweetener, and sometimes some spicing.

However you like your hot toddy, it should be soothing and comforting on a cold day. In fact, hot toddies made with spirits, honey and lemon juice often are used to ease the symptoms from our seasonal colds and coughs.

Our cider cocktail recipe begins with almond-flavored amaretto and hot apple cider. Bitters are added to help balance the sweetness from the cider (and the caramel sauce and whipped cream we’ll add later).

Bitters are a blend of naturally sour or bitter botanical flavors – such as

Hot Cider Cocktail

Start to finish: 20 minutes Makes one drink 2 ounces amaretto 6 ounces warm apple cider 1 dash bitters Whipped Cream, as needed (recipe at right) Caramel Sauce, as needed (recipe follows) Combine amaretto, warm cider and bitters in an Irish coffee mug or regular coffee mug. Top with fresh whipped cream and caramel sauce.

Caramel Sauce Makes about 2 cups

1½ cups heavy cream 3/4 cup sugar 1/2 cup light corn syrup 2 tablespoons unsalted butter Prepare an ice bath. Bring the cream to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat. Remove from the heat.

Combine the sugar and corn syrup in a heavy saucepan over low heat and stir until the sugar dissolves. Slowly cook to a golden brown without stirring, 8 to 9 minutes. Remove from the heat and put the saucepan in the ice bath for 20 seconds to stop the cooking. Remove from the ice bath and stir in the butter.

Carefully stir in the hot cream, mixing until fully blended. To store the caramel sauce, transfer it to a clean bowl or jar, cover tightly, and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks. Reheat the sauce over low heat or in the microwave before serving.

orange peel or herbs. In cocktails, they add a concentrated dose of bitterness without diluting the primary flavors in the drink.

There are no rules when it comes to a hot cocktail, and this recipe can be reformulated to suit your mood or the contents of your liquor cabinet.

In place of amaretto, you can use any of your favorite spirits, such as whiskey or apple brandy. If you like infused spirits or syrups (a great make-at-home holiday gift), a hot cocktail is the perfect way to show them off.

Cinnamon-infused bourbon or cardamom-infused simple syrup are great starts to making this recipe

your own.

Hot cocktails are the perfect treat for a little bit of quiet time, but they also are an excellent make-ahead recipe when you are hosting winter parties.

They can be mixed and kept warm in a crock pot or on the stovetop over a very low flame. Be sure to put some of the hot apple cider aside before adding the amaretto, for children and guests who choose not to partake.

Garnish your party drinks with freshly made whipped cream, our caramel sauce and a cinnamon stick for a particularly Instagram-worthy presentation.

Whipped Cream Makes about 2 cups

1 cup heavy cream, chilled 1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract Chill a stainless-steel bowl and the beaters of a handheld mixer, the whisk attachment of a stand mixer, or a balloon whisk.

Pour the cream into the chilled bowl and whip on medium speed until thickened, about 3 minutes.

Increase the speed to high and gradually add the confectioners’ sugar while whipping. Add the vanilla extract and continue to whip until the cream has the desired peak according to its intended use. Soft peaks are good for dolloping cream, while firmer peaks are better if the cream is to be piped, used for topping, or folded into another mixture.

Note: If your cream starts to turn slightly yellow while you are whipping, it is close to being overwhipped and turning into butter. Fold in a small amount of unwhipped cream, if you have it, to rescue the texture.

Dark Chocolate Rosemary Biscotti AP photo

Chocolate rosemary biscotti ideal for a gift

By MELISSA D’ARABIAN The Associated Press

I remember the first party I ever hosted. I was 5 and my mom invited all of my kindergarten girlfriends and their moms for a holiday singing gathering. We knoshed on homemade cookies dunked in hot cocoa made from packets of powder dissolved in boiling water. Standing there around our piano, surrounded by tiny off-key singers with crumby, smiling mouths and steamy chocolate breath, I fell in love with hospitality. I felt in my heart the joy of feeding people, especially around the holidays. Joy to the world, indeed.

As the days grow colder and shorter, and cookie-baking season is ushered in, the calorie-counter in me steps aside just enough to strike that balance of reasonable, but small, indulgence. A perfect example of smart cookie indulgence is the biscotti.

Biscotti are firm, dry Italian cookies that typically are served alongside an espresso or coffee for dunking. Biscotti are dryer and harder than your average cookie, due to a double-baking process (which is easy, so don’t be intimidated) and relatively lower amounts of fat and sugar.

But the harder texture has a huge tactical advantage: biscotti take longer to nibble your way through, so the chances of me accidentally downing seven or eight are pretty small. One or two of

these little guys, especially with a little espresso, and I feel like I’ve participated in the joy of holiday dessert.

Plus, biscotti feel a little fancy. Fancy enough, in fact, to double as a holiday gift – wrap some up in cellophane and take as a hostess or neighbor gift, or even send home with your guests as a little party favor.

Today’s recipe is flavored with dark chocolate and rosemary because they are classic winter flavors that I love together, but feel free to play with zests, spices, herbs and chocolate types to make a combo you love. Bonus points if you eat them with friends singing around the piano.

Dark Chocolate Rosemary Biscotti Start to finish: 1 hour, 15 minutes Servings: 16 biscotti

1 cup white whole wheat flour 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 1 teaspoon baking powder 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened 1/2 cup sugar 2 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon finely-grated orange zest 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, finely minced

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips, finely chopped 1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Combine the flours, salt and baking powder in a small bowl and set aside. In a medium bowl, cream the butter and sugar together with a hand or stand-mixer until light in color, fluffy and creamy, about 3 minutes.

Add the eggs in, one at a time, mixing well after each one.

Add the vanilla, zest and rosemary and mix until incorporated.

Add the flour, half at a time, mixing until incorporated after each half. Use a rubber spatula to fold in the dark chocolate and the almonds.

Place the dough on a lightly-floured surface and divide into two. Shape into two logs, about 14 inches each, and place on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly press each log flatter, to make a rounded strip, about 15 inches long by 2½ inches wide. Remove excess flour with a clean pastry brush.

Bake the logs until golden, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool 10 minutes. Meanwhile, reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F. Carefully transfer each flattened log to a cutting board and cut each log on the bias into 8 slices (16 slices total). Place the slices cut side down on the parchment-lined baking sheet and continue baking until the cookies are golden and crisp, about 30 more minutes.

Once baked, let cool completely. Can be stored in airtight container for several days.

Learn about pharmacy tech jobs DAILY CHRONICLE The Division of Workforce and Community Education at Kishwaukee College will offer an information session at the Sycamore Public Library for community members interested in exploring the Pharmacy Technician Program. The session will be from 7:15 to 8:15 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 6. It is free and open to the public, but space is limited and registration is required.

Pharmacy technicians are health care professionals who have been trained to assist pharmacists to dispense prescription medication. Depending on the position, the tech-

nician also may manage third-party billing, answer telephones, direct customers to items or to the pharmacist for medication consultation, receive written prescriptions, clean and sterilize dispensing bottles and instruments, answer questions regarding non-drug products, and operate a cash register.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the employment for pharmacy technicians is projected to grow 9 percent through 2024 due to an increased demand for prescription medications.

To register for the session, contact Tricia Hernandez at 815-825-9441 or tricia.hernandez@kishwaukeecollege.edu.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff can reduce our risk of getting Type 2 diabetes (the most common kind) by nearly 70 percent. No medicine yet invented can do that.

The second theme is we need to do more to support biomedical research.

Most of that support comes from our federal tax dollars. Biomedical science has progressed so rapidly in the past 50 years we have the power to make major advances. Yet there is not enough money in the budget to fund many worthy projects, slowing progress. Who decides how much money is spent on medical research in our democracy? We, the people.

Although today’s column is my last, I’m pleased three members of the faculty at the UCLA School of Medicine will be starting a new column, “Ask the Doctors,” which will appear in the many papers where my column appeared. This closes a circle for me, since I grew up practically next door to that prestigious institution.

I want, in particular, to thank Urmila Parlikar, who has helped me to gather and organize information for this column with remarkable skill and dedication.

In addition, Alan McDermott and Shena Wolf, the column’s editors, have added elegance and clarity to every column.

I will miss you, and miss writing for you. Thank you again for all of your kind words over the years. And goodbye.

• Dr. Komaroff is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School.

HOW TO PLAY Each row, column and set of 3-by-3 boxes must contain the numbers 1 through 9 without repetition.

Dear Readers: Elton John sang “Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word,” but for me the hardest word is “Goodbye.”

Every goodbye is an ending. Long before life ends, individual pieces of that life end. Many of those little endings are the close of something you cherish – something that brought meaning or pleasure to your life.

Today’s column will be my last. I’ve been writing this column for more than five years. At age 75, I’ve decided to slow down. The time required to write a column six days a week, 52 weeks a year, makes that hard.

Even though this is the right decision for me, I regret having to make it. Your questions have been interesting and remarkably wide-ranging: “Is it safe to swaddle a baby?” “How does Alzheimer’s wreak so much havoc in the brain?”

“When we lose memories, do we lose them forever?”

I doubt you assumed I was an oracle who could just write the answer to every question off the top of my head. Indeed, I leaned heavily on the knowledge of many colleagues at Harvard Medical School, and I did my homework. I learned a lot, and I hope I was helpful to you.

Above all, I love the process of trying to clearly explain things that can be pretty complicated. I tried to do that for the more than 1,500 columns I wrote. Each one gave me pleasure. And your letters and emails thanking me for my efforts added greatly to that pleasure.

Were there any themes that ran through my columns? There were at least two. The first is, through the lifestyle we choose, we can do more to improve our health than anything our doctor can do for us. For example, through lifestyle we

Your former director might not have congratulated you because he/she was jealous.

more clearly defined what “prone to seduction” means. Was he saying because years ago he had little success with women he is enjoying the attention?

While you might be willing to “do anything” to have him all to yourself, if this man craves variety and is trying to make up for lost time, there’s nothing you can do to dissuade him. The two of you appear to be at very different places in your lives. If you want a man who is willing to have an exclusive relationship, you’re going to have to look elsewhere.

Dear Abby: I was just offered a huge promotion at my company. It will mean more than a 40 percent increase in pay, which is unheard of in my company, which has more than 10,000 employees. People in my department are not taking it well. Even my director did not congratulate me.

Taking on this new endeavor kind of scares me. I have had a tough year in my current position, and this new job is tailored to me. My current manager – who is new to the department – feels this job was meant for me.

I know the team I will be working with, and I have a feeling I will love it. I’m just scared of setting myself up for failure. My boss and new manager are giving me a great opportunity, and I don’t want to let anyone down. – Unsure In

recently started seeing a selfmade entrepreneur. He’s intelligent, and basically the most amazing man I have ever been with.

Because of his position and stature, many beautiful and sophisticated women throw themselves at him. A friend of his told me in the months I’ve known him, he has had sex with at least five other women, several on the first date.

I’m not angry about it since we never formally agreed to be exclusive, but I’m in love with him and want him all to myself. When I confronted him, he said because he never had success with women previously, he is prone to seduction. He said they didn’t mean anything to him and he wants to be with me.

I have dropped the matter for now, but I’m still concerned. I have tried to step up my game in the bedroom, and I’m willing to do anything to stop him from looking elsewhere. How do I make him give up his harem? – Willing To Do

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Set the standard instead of letting someone else lead the way. Make decisions and changes based on what will make you happy and ease your stress. Times are changing, and so are you. Get with the program and make the necessary updates.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Don’t hold back when you should be moving forward. Back away from waste and indulgence and move toward cost efficiency and success.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Doing something just because someone else does it will not be in your best interest. You are best off doing your own thing and avoiding getting stuck with other

people’s mistakes.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Pump up the volume and let your voice be heard. If there is something you want, you should ask for it.

Change will only come about if you initiate what you want to see happen.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Refuse to let others’ commotion daunt you. Head in a direction that makes you feel comfortable. It’s important to be true to your beliefs and to stick to personal objectives.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Strive to put your plans in motion. Change is good, and it will encourage you to step out of your comfort zone and go in search of bigger and better opportunities.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Do your research

when dealing with money, health or legal matters. Trust in your own vision instead of what someone else is trying to convince you to believe in.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Get involved, make a power play and bring about change. Your ability to tap into a trend or drum up support will encourage you to set higher goals and strive for excellence.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Read between the lines and be aware of body language when dealing with others. It’s the little subtleties that will give you insight into what’s actually happening.

Trust your instincts.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Travel plans or business trips will lead to enthusiastic endeavors. Pump up your energy and tackle whatever needs to be

done to take advantage of an offer, proposal or opportunity.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Size up your situation and proceed to do whatever works best for you. Don’t believe everything you hear or allow someone to manipulate you. Find a way to use your creative skills.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – New beginnings look promising. Choose to make a move, start a project or engage in talks that will help you pursue your dreams. Live your life with gusto and avoid procrastination.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Personal improvements resulting from an unexpected change will help you establish what you want to pursue.

Don’t give in to pressure. If you live your dream, you’ll have no regrets.
