Reps. speak out on retirement tax McSweeney proposed House resolution against idea; 41 others co-sponsor the legislation

By CAITLIN SWIECA cswieca@shawmedia.com As the Illinois General Assembly continues its ongoing budget battle, some local representatives are speaking out against the possibility of implementing a tax on retirement income.

On Dec. 2, Rep. David McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills, filed House Resolution 890 to state his opposition to a retirement tax.

‘‘

Rep. Jack Franks, D-Marengo, is one of 41 co-sponsors on the resolution, and McSweeney said he’s working to add more.

“I oppose all tax increases, but I think a retirement tax would drive senior citizens out of the state,” McSweeney said. “It’s unfair. I fully, 100 percent oppose it, and I’m proud that I’m the leader in the House against it.”

Although a retirement income tax has not been formally presented in

legislation, AARP Illinois went on the offensive against the concept with a survey of Illinoisans older than 50 released Dec. 17.

Of the 1,000 people surveyed, 89 percent opposed taxing retirement income, 93 percent said a retirement income tax would impact their ability to prepare for a secure retirement, and nearly 60 percent would consider moving to another state if Illinois imposed such a tax.

AARP Illinois State Director Bob Gallo said the organization wanted to put data out there after several other groups had called for the legislation to consider a retirement tax.

“To us, this is an opportunity to put this on the table while they’re talking,” Gallo said. “Even the governor had mentioned in an article I read that the taxpayers’ voice needs to be at the table

Nurse turnover rates on the rise

McHenry County nursing homes, hospitals aim to change, reverse statistic

By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Larry Banks sees a lot of nurses and nursing assistants come and go from the Crystal Lake nursing home he runs.

High turnover rates have been connected to lower patient satisfaction, higher risks for hospital-acquired illnesses or conditions, and greater costs for their employers, studies show.

A 2014 report from the RN Work Project found that an estimated 17.5 percent of newly licensed nurses left their first job within the first year, and a total of 30.7 percent left by the end of their second year.

Those numbers are even higher for nursing homes, studies say.

A 2005 study finding the average one-year turnover rate for the 354 facilities in four states it looked at comes in at 55.4 percent.

About 21 percent of nurses working at a nursing home said they would choose the same practice setting, according to 2015 survey re-

“It’s been a forever problem in our industry, especially at the nursing assistant level,” said Banks,

the director of operations at The Springs of Crystal Lake.

But he’s trying to fix the problem. The Springs of Crystal Lake is in talks with two organizations, one company that will come in and

do small group discussions and personality tests to see whether the right people are in the right spots.

Another firm that conducts an academic research team is studying why people are dissatisfied with their jobs and why they’re not staying, Banks said.

They’ve also worked to decrease the nurse-to-patient ratio, dropping it to eight to 10 patients per dayside nurse compared with perhaps four patients per dayside nurse at a hospital or 20 patients per dayside nurse at some nursing homes, he said.

Centegra Health System has seen its first-year turnover rate fall to less than 10 percent, said Peggy Norton-Rosko, its senior vice president and chief nursing officer.

She pointed to four changes the hospital system has made, including establishing shared governance councils to give nurses a voice on areas that affect their work, a promotion ladder that allows nurses to

CHICAGO – Grieving relatives and friends of two people shot and killed by Chicago police said Sunday the slayings raised concerns about why officers “shoot first and ask questions later,” saying the city failed residents even as a federal civil rights investigation has begun scrutinizing police practices.

Quintonio LeGrier, 19, was killed early Saturday by police responding to a domestic disturbance at an apartment on the city’s West Side, along with downstairs neighbor Bettie Jones, 55. Police said Jones was hit accidentally by the gunfire.

Both were black. The shootings came amid scrutiny of police after a series of deaths of African-Americans at the hands of officers across the country gave rise to the Black Lives Matter movement.

LeGrier’s mother, Janet Cooksey, during a vigil Sunday placed candles on the porch of the two-story home, where Jones lived in a ground-floor apartment and LeGrier’s father in an upstairs unit. On either side of the door, Post-It notes indicated where two bullets hit siding on the house.

“I used to watch the news daily and I would grieve for other mothers, other family members, and now today I’m grieving myself,” Cooksey said at a news conference outside the residence earlier Sunday. She wore a black shirt with Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s image on it and the phrase “Rahm Failed Us.” Others who spoke said police should have used stun guns or other nonlethal methods if they felt they needed to subdue LeGrier, a college student home for holiday break.

“Why do [police] have to shoot first and ask questions later?” Jacqueline Walker, a friend of Jones, asked. “It’s ridiculous.”

Some who showed up to support the families of Jones and LeGrier questioned how such shootings could occur while

Pakistani army chief visits Kabul to discuss peace talks

By LYNNE O’DONNELL and MUNIR AHMED The Associated Press KABUL, Afghanistan – Afghanistan and Pakistan agreed on Sunday to meet with U.S. and Chinese officials in the first weeks of the new year to discuss “peace-related issues,” a move that could re-invigorate a stalled peace process with the Taliban, the Afghan president’s office said.

The development came as Pakistan’s powerful army chief Gen. Raheel Sharif met with senior officials in the Afghan capital, including President Ashraf Ghani and Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah.

The visit focused on the possible revival of peace talks between the Afghan government and the Taliban, which stalled

this summer. The Taliban have been waging a vicisou insurgency since the 2001 U.S.led invasion overthrew their regime.

According to Pakistan’s military spokesman Lt. Gen. Asim Saleem Bajwa, the army chief had travelled to Kabul with “sincerity and optimism” about the peace process and also planned to discuss better border management between the two neighbors.

Bilateral ties had suffered in recent months, and Ghani has lately blamed Pakistan for much of the violence in Afghanistan, saying Islamabad supports and harbors the Taliban in Pakistani cities close to the Afghan border – a charge Pakistan denies.

WHO IS HE? Woodstock Opera House building manager FAMILY: Wife, June; children, April, David, Adam, Andy and Kristin; grandchildren, Steven, Marley, Talli, Nora and London FAVORITE BOOK: The Bible FAVORITE MOVIE: “The Princess Bride”

WOODSTOCK – Woodstock Opera House building manager Mark Greenleaf has been with the historic venue for 30 years now, and he said he never expected to stay there that long.

“It’s really neat to just show up looking for a temporary job, and really end up finding a home,” Greenleaf said.

The Opera House was built in 1889 to hold the city’s library, council room, justice court, fire department and second floor auditorium, according to its website.

In 1972, the building was designated as a landmark by the city, and money was raised to restore the building. It reopened in 1977 as the Woodstock Opera House Community Center.

The city-owned building had its last major renovation in 2003, when a new annex was completed and added to the Opera House, which provided disability access to the stage, a freight elevator and the Stage Left Cafe.

Greenleaf said he isn’t planning on retiring yet. The 62-year-old said he still has a few more projects he’d like to see through, with the end goal of leaving the building in good shape for the next person who takes over.

“I think more and more now about legacy and trying to wrap it up in good fashion,” Greenleaf said.

He was born in Waukegan and studied acting, directing and stage managing at Illinois State University.

He said he worked many jobs as a stagehand before joining the Opera House.

LOCAL BRIEF National Weather Service issues storm warning

McHenry County commuters should prepare for icy roads Monday morning, according to a winter storm warning issued by the National Weather Service on Sunday.

The warning, which upgraded the winter storm watch issued Saturday, said a winter storm system will move over the area Monday, with sleet and freezing rain developing during the morning throughout northern Illinois.

The storm likely will transition to rain in the afternoon, the warning said, but some ice accumulation is likely across the area.

The storm system Monday also will produce winds gusting from 45 to 55 mph.

The warning is in effect from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday. The storm may cause power outages if ice accumulates on power lines and tree limbs.

Temperatures around the area are expected to be at or slightly below freezing throughout the day, forecasts say.

Tornadoes hit Texas, Midwest sees flooding

By DAVID WARREN and REESE DUNKLIN The Associated Press GARLAND, Texas – At least 11 people died and dozens were injured in strong tornadoes that swept through the Dallas area and caused substantial damage this weekend, while 13 people died in flooding in the Midwest.

It was the latest of a succession of powerful weather events across the country, from heavy snow in New Mexico, west Texas and the Oklahoma Panhandle to flooding in parts of the Plains and Midwest. Days of tumultuous weather have led to 43 deaths overall – those in Texas, plus five in Illinois, eight in Missouri and 19 in the Southeast.

The full extent of damage from Saturday’s storms along a nearly 40-mile stretch near Dallas came into clear focus.

Local officials estimated as many as 1,450 homes were damaged or destroyed in storms that the National Weather Service said produced nine tornadoes. Vehicles were mangled, power lines fell and trees were toppled. Heavy rain, wind and falling temperatures hampered cleanup efforts Sunday afternoon.

“This is a huge impact on our community and we’re all suffering,” Garland Police Lt. Pedro Barineau said of the suburb about 20 miles northeast of Dallas, where eight people died, 15 were injured and about 600 structures, mostly single-family homes, were damaged.

The weather service said an EF-4 tornado, which is the second-most powerful with winds up to more than 200 mph, hit the community at about 6:45 p.m. Saturday. It was near the intersection of Interstate 30 and George Bush Turnpike, which is a major route in the

Damage of a house is seen Sunday after Saturday’s tornado spread out in Rowlett, Texas. At least 11 people died and dozens were injured in apparently strong tornadoes that swept through the Dallas area. region. At least three people who died were found in vehicles, said Barineau, who also noted that some cars appeared to be thrown from the interstate, though it wasn’t known whether that was how the people found in the vehicles died.

Natalie Guzman, 33, took photos of her family’s home in a Garland neighborhood. The garage wall had collapsed and the roof fell in. The only part of the house that appeared to be spared was the master bathroom, where her brotherin-law took shelter Saturday night. He was the only one at home and told her he had just enough time to get himself and his dogs into the bathroom.

“It was worse than I thought,” Guzman said, comparing the scene to the photos he had sent Saturday.

The destruction in Garland was so overwhelming that Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins declared the city a disaster within mere minutes of seeing the toll firsthand.

“I don’t declare local disasters lightly,” Jenkins said.

“But I looked at the scene for 10 minutes, spoke to the incident commander and then

called the lawyers to bring the paperwork.”

In the nearby town of Rowlett, City Manager Brian Funderburk said Sunday morning that 23 people were injured, but that there were no deaths and no reports of missing people. The weather service said damage indicated it was likely an EF-3 tornado, which has winds up to 165 mph.

Jenkins said in a statement Sunday night that as many as 600 homes were damaged in Rowlett. Dale Vermurlen lived in a Rowlett neighborhood that sustained heavy damage.

His house only had minor damage, but was next to that were flattened.

“I grabbed both dogs by the collars and held on to the toilet. I said, ‘OK, this could be it, boys.’”

Homes in the neighborhood that had been searched by emergency responders were marked with a black “X.” In some instances, it looked like homes had been picked up and set back down in a big pile. State troopers blocked off roads, utility crews restored power and people walked around, hushed and dazed.

5 drown in southern Ill. when high water sweeps away car The ASSOCIATED PRESS PATOKA – Three adults and two children drowned in southern Illinois after their vehicle was swept off a rural bridge over a rain-swollen creek and submerged, a coroner said Sunday.

The swift-moving East Fork Creek carried the car off a low-water bridge about 7:30 p.m. Saturday near the town of Patoka, about 60 miles east of St. Louis, according to Marion County Coroner Troy Cannon. The vehicle became lodged about 150 to 200 feet downstream and an occupant

called 911 for help, but shortly after a firefighter arrived on the scene, the car became dislodged and sank, Cannon said.

Dive teams recovered the car, which was traveling from Kentucky to Minnesota, from the water several hours later, said Cannon, who pronounced all five dead from drowning just before midnight.

The names of the victims were not immediately released.

Authorities were notifying relatives in Kentucky and Minnesota of the deaths, he said.

The vehicle had been on Interstate 57, and investigators “speculate they may have

stopped for fuel or dinner ... and somehow got turned around or were following an erroneous GPS track,” Cannon said in a news release.

The car drove into several feet of water, he said.

“The low-water crossing under normal conditions typically has very little water trickling across the roadway, if any at all. However, with the recent heavy rains, East Fork Creek, as with all other waterways in the region, was swollen and moving swiftly,” Cannon said.

Patoka Fire Chief Blake estimated water levels had risen to 4 to 5 feet above the roadway.

Railroad Museum is closed during the winter and using the time to remodel display space.

The Register-Mail reported that the museum will have an additional 100-square-feet of display space on its main floor.

Museum President Maury Godsil said they’re adding a loft for office space, rather than having offices on the ground floor.

The museum closes in September and reopens in April every year. Godsil said the work should be finished by the time the museum reopens in April 2016.

He said they’ll use the extra space to display more memorabilia and artifacts that are now in storage.

BRIEFS Sanders: Bland case shows need for justice changes HOUSTON – Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders says it’s his “very strong inclination” that Sandra Bland wouldn’t have been arrested by a Texas trooper last summer if she were a white woman.

The Vermont senator tells CBS’ “Face The Nation” Bernie Sunday the Bland Sanders case shows criminal justice reform is needed to make sure lethal force is a last option, not a first option.

When reminded that Bland’s death occurred in a southeast Texas jail three days after her arrest, Sanders said the way she was pulled from her car and confronted by the officer was not something that would have happened “to the average middle class white woman.”

Activists: Abortion to be a hot topic in ’16 race

By DAVID CRARY The Associated Press NEW YORK – With a deeper-than-ever split between Republicans and Democrats over abortion, activists on both sides of the debate foresee a 2016 presidential campaign in which the nominees tackle the volatile topic more aggressively than in past elections.

Friction over the issue also is likely to surface in key Senate races.

And the opposing camps will be further energized by Republican-led congressional investigations of Planned Parenthood and by Supreme Court consideration of tough

anti-abortion laws in Texas.

“It’s an amazing convergence of events,” said Charmaine Yoest, CEO of the anti-abortion group Americans United for Life. “We haven’t seen a moment like this for 40 years.”

In the presidential race, Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton is a longtime defender of abortion rights and has voiced strong support for Planned Parenthood – a major provider of abortions, health screenings and contraceptives – as it is assailed by anti-abortion activists and Republican officeholders.

In contrast, nearly all of the GOP candidates favor over-

turning the Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion nationwide.

Some of the top contenders – including Sens. Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio – disapprove of abortions even in cases of rape and incest.

“We may very well have the most extreme Republican presidential Ted Cruz nominee since Roe – a nominee who’s not in favor of abortion in any possible way,” said Stephanie Schriock, president of EMILY’s List. The organization, which supports female candidates who back

abortion rights, says it is en route to breaking its fundraising records. A similar claim is made by some anti-abortion political action groups.

What’s changed for this election? One factor is the increased polarization of the two major parties. Only a handful of Marco Rubio a n t i - a b o r t i o n Democrats and abortion-rights Republicans remain in Congress, and recent votes attempting to ban late-term abortions and halt federal funding to Planned Parenthood closely followed

party lines.

Another difference: Republicans in the presidential field and in Congress seem more willing than in past campaigns to take the offensive on abortion-related issues. Past nominees George W. Bush, John McCain and Mitt Romney opposed abortion but were not as outspoken as some of the current GOP candidates.

“Abortion will bubble over into the general election,” said Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the Susan B. Anthony List, which supports female candidates opposed to abortion. “If you don’t know how to handle this issue, you will be eviscerated.”

As the campaign unfolds, other factors will help keep the abortion debate in the spotlight.

The Supreme Court will be hearing arguments, probably in March, regarding a Texas law enacted in 2013 that would force numerous abortion clinics to close.

One contested provision requires abortion facilities to be constructed like surgical centers; another says doctors performing abortions at clinics must have admitting privileges at a local hospital.

The Texas dispute will have echoes in other states as social conservatives lobby for more laws restricting abortion.

Sinking land damage U.K. military helps combat flooding costing Calif. billions

By GREGORY KATZ

The Associated Press

By SCOTT SMITH The Associated Press DOS PALOS, Calif. – A canal that delivers vital water supplies from Northern California to Southern California is sinking in places. So are stretches of a riverbed undergoing historic restoration. On farms, well casings pop up like mushrooms as the ground around them drops.

Four years of drought and heavy reliance on pumping of groundwater have made the land sink faster than ever up and down the Central Valley, requiring repairs to infrastructure that experts say are costing billions of dollars. This slow-motion land subsidence – more than one foot a year in some places – is not expected to stop anytime soon, experts say, nor will the expensive repairs.

“It’s shocking how a huge area is affected, but how little you can tell with your eye,” said

James Borchers, a hydro-geologist, who studies subsidence and says careful monitoring is necessary to detect and address sinking before it can do major damage to costly infrastructure such as bridges and pipelines.

Land subsidence is largely the result of pumping water from the ground. As aquifers are depleted, the ground sags.

The most severe examples today are in San Joaquin Valley, where the U.S. Geological Survey in 1975 said half of the land is prone to sinking. USGS researchers later called it one of the “single largest alterations of the land surface attributed to humankind.”

A sparse mountain snowpack in California’s driest fouryear span on record has forced farmers in the Central Valley, the nation’s most productive agricultural region, to rely on groundwater to irrigate their crops.

BRIEFS IS puts up fight to slow Iraqi troop advance

BAGHDAD – Islamic State fighters are putting up a tough fight in the militant-held city of Ramadi, slowing down the advance of Iraqi forces, a senior Iraqi commander said Sunday.

Iraq launched the long-awaited operation to retake the Anbar provincial capital, which was captured by IS militants in May, but after an initial push across the Euphrates River, their progress stalled.

Gen. Ismail al-Mahlawi, head of the Anbar military operations, told The Associated Press that the advance was hampered by suicide bombers, snipers and booby traps.

Iraqi troops will “need days” to get to the city’s central government complex, said al-Mahlawi, adding that the troops were about one kilometer (half mile) from the complex on Sunday.

Al-Mahlawi said he could neither confirm nor deny media reports that IS fighters had pulled out of the government complex by nightfall Sunday.

Chinese mine boss drowns himself after collapse BEIJING – The owner of a Chinese gypsum mine drowned Sunday after jumping into a well in an apparent suicide during rescue efforts for 17 workers still trapped two days after the mine collapsed and killed one person, state media said.

Quoting a morning briefing by

the rescue command center, state media said Ma Congbo, president of Yurong Commerce and Trade Ltd. Co., was assisting with rescue efforts on Sunday morning when he jumped into a mine well and drowned.

Since the mine collapse on Friday, rescuers have pulled 11 workers to safety and recovered one body.

Another 17 miners have not yet been found.

Syrian army kills 17 Islamic militants

BEIRUT – Syrian government forces booby trapped a cluster of farm buildings in the southern Daraa province and detonated the explosives as several Islamic rebel factions gathered at the venue, killing 17 militants, opposition activists said Sunday.

The explosion, which took place late Saturday, was the latest blow to the rebels shortly after the assassination the previous day of a powerful rebel leader on the outskirts of Damascus.

The developments could boost the position of the Damascus government ahead of Syria peace talks in Geneva next month.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported the explosion in the village of Kfar Shams. Ahmad al-Masalmeh, a Daraa-based opposition activist, said explosives were planted at the farm and were detonated when the militants had gathered there.

LONDON – British Prime Minister David Cameron sent hundreds more troops into northern England on Sunday to help exhausted residents and emergency workers fight back rising river waters that have inundated towns and cities after weeks of heavy rain.

Cameron said the flooding is “unprecedented” and vowed to do everything possible to protect people and their property as the damage spread to the major cities York, Leeds and Manchester.

He said protective systems and contingency plans will be reviewed because the frequency of such extreme weather events seems to be on the rise.

Weeks of persistent rainfall has saturated the ground and swollen the rivers to record levels, leaving entire swathes of northern England, and smaller parts of Wales and Scotland, vulnerable. Several hundred flood warnings remain in effect.

There have been no fatalities or serious injuries reported, but hundreds of people have been evacuated from houses and apartments in York, 200 miles north of London, where 3,500 properties are judged to be at risk.

Wheeler would support tax on public pensions • RETIREMENT TAX

Continued from page A1 when considering new revenue. This is one group of taxpayers whose voice has spoken through this survey.”

Not all local lawmakers are ready to completely reject the idea of taxing the retired. Rep. Barbara Wheeler, R-Crystal Lake, said she is against taxing any private retirement but would support implementation of a tax on some public pensions.

Wheeler, who included pension reform in her election platform, said leaders have discussed taxing public pensions over a certain

dollar amount, likely a six-figure number.

She said she would support such legislation because the Illinois Supreme Court overturned the state’s landmark 2013 pension law.

“Nobody likes the word ‘tax,’ Rep. Barbara but I do beWheeler, lieve it’s the R-Crystal kind of backLake door pension reform the state desperately needs because so much of our budget goes into paying pension,” Wheeler said.

MCC students Official: Officer or officers to get administrative duties SHOOTINGS work at sites for •Continued from page A1 12 hours a week • NURSES

Continued from page A1 advance while staying at the bedside, making sure they’re hiring the right people and obtaining Magnet status, an award given to hospitals by the American Nurses Credentialing Center to recognize hospitals that follow best practice recommendations to create better work environments.

Centegra started working toward Magnet status in January 2010 and earned it two years ago by making changes across the board and investing in its nurses, including through financial and workplace support to help nurses obtain national certification in their specialty area and through providing in-house continuing education opportunities, Norton-Rosko said.

“Everybody wants to be involved in the decisions that affect their everyday work,” she said. “They’re much more invested and know what needs to change. It creates a much more highly engaged workforce.”

The nursing program at McHenry County College also works to make sure students know what they’re getting into, program director Betsy Schnowske said.

Students spend 12 hours a week out at sites – mostly inpatient hospital settings with some observational time at outpatient providers – and work through scenarios on campus where they have to figure out how they’d respond to a tough situation with a family member of a patient, Schnowske said.

The college also makes sure it’s picking students whom it thinks are going to succeed, she said, adding MCC takes 24 out of 30 to 50 applicants in the fall and 16 out of 16 to 30 applicants in the spring.

“Nursing is hard,” Schnowske said.

“I’m not going to lie. It’s a hard job, but it’s so rewarding.”

federal investigators are focusing on the Chicago Police Department, including a look at whether there are patterns of racial disparity in the use of force.

“Something is seriously wrong,” said the Rev. Marshall E. Hatch, who attended the vigil. “How in the middle of all this scrutiny, [can you] have a trigger-happy policeman?”

The Police Department said in a statement Saturday that officers who responded to a 911 call “were confronted by a combative subject resulting in the discharging of the officer’s weapon.”

“The 55-year-old female victim was accidentally struck and tragically killed,” according to the statement, which extended “deepest condolences to the victim’s family and friends.”

Jones, a mother of five known for working with community groups committed to reducing violence, had hosted family on Christmas Day, friends and relatives said.

Family spokesman Eric Russell said Jones’ many grandchildren had hoped to thank her for their Christmas gifts over the weekend.

Police did not disclose the race of the officer or officers, saying only that those involved will be placed on administrative duties. It isn’t clear how many officers responded or how many used their firearms.

Autopsy findings released Sunday by the Cook County medical examiner’s office say Jones died from a gunshot to the chest and LeGrier from multiple gunshot wounds.

Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi on Sunday said only that the shootings are being investigated by the city’s Independent Police Review Authority, the main police oversight agency. IPRA spokesman Larry Merritt declined comment Sunday.

McHenry home sustains $100K of damage in fire

McHENRY – A one-story residence sustained more than $100,000 in damage after a fire in the early hours of Sunday morning, according to a news release from the McHenry Township Fire Protection District.

The family living in the home at 1710 W. Vale St. in McHenry woke up and vacated the home without any injuries, McHenry Fire Battalion Chief Mike Majercik said. No firefighters were injured, the release stated.

Fire personnel responded to the fire at 4:30 a.m., and first responders reported smoke coming from the eaves of the building, according to the release. The firefighters initiated an attack with 10 pieces of equipment and about 25 personnel. The fire was brought under control within 30 minutes, and fire personnel left the scene about 6:30 a.m.

Majercik said the damage was mainly in the building’s attic. Officials put a tarp on the roof of the home, and the home was still livable for the family, he said. Fire officials will return to the residence Monday to further investigate the cause of the fire, Majercik said. Nunda Rural Fire Protection District assisted in the response.

The crash happened about 8:20 a.m. Sunday. Waits said it appeared that the vehicle, which was traveling on Route 176 east of Deer Pass Road, went onto the shoulder of the road and the driver lost control.

The vehicle ended up in a ditch on the side of the road, he said, and the woman’s injuries were minor.

Program for toddlers to start Jan. 14

A child holds a candle during a vigil Sunday outside Bettie Jones’ home in Chicago.

Jones and Quintonio LeGrier, 19, were killed Saturday by police responding to a domestic disturbance call on the city’s West Side, police said. said LeGrier’s father had invited his son to a holiday gathering at another home on Christmas. Person said the son’s refusal to go caused friction, but didn’t lead to a serious argument.

“What family doesn’t fight on the holidays?” he said.

Antonio LeGrier told the Chicago Sun-Times his son appeared to be a “little agitated” when the father returned to the apartment. Around 4:15 a.m., the elder LeGrier said he heard loud banging on his locked bedroom door and that his son said, “You’re not going to scare me.” He said his son tried to bust the door open, but he kept him from doing so and called police.

He added that he called Jones on the floor below to say his son was a “little irate” and not to open the door unless police arrived.

He said Jones told him his son was outside with a baseball bat.

When police arrived, Antonio LeGrier said he heard Jones yell, “Whoa, whoa, whoa!” He said he heard gunshots as he made his way down from

the second floor and then saw his son and Jones lying in the foyer.

He said his son had emotional problems after spending most of his childhood in foster care. He described him as a “whiz kid” on break from Northern Illinois University, where he majored in electrical engineering technology.

Cooksey denied that her son ever exhibited “combative behavior.” She said he “might’ve been angry with his father and they might’ve got into it,” but that he was not angry or violent.

It’s not clear whether Jones tried to intervene before being shot or if she was hit by gunfire while answering the door. Sam Adam Jr., a lawyer for the Jones family, said police took the hard drive of a home-security camera from across the street, but it was unknown if it or other cameras in the neighborhood captured the shootings.

Emanuel’s office said in a statement Saturday that IPRA would share its evidence with the county prosecutor’s office.

SKETCH VIEW

New normal’s ongoing toll The “new normal” resulting from the Great Recession continues to exact an economic toll.

The term “middle class” used to apply to a broad swath of American society, reflecting a measure of income security and widely shared prosperity. A recent Pew Research Center study, however, found the share of upper- and lower-income households have expanded to a point where the middle class no longer constitutes a majority of the adult population. The middle class accounted for 61 percent of the population in 1971, according to Pew, and it now includes 49 percent.

The drop was quickly accelerated by the recession of December 2007 to June 2009, in which 7 million homes were lost to foreclosure and $16 trillion in household wealth vanished.

The recovery has favored professionals and the highly educated at the expenses of workingclass Americans, and the majority of the jobs that have been created since the recession do not provide easy access to a middle-class life.

This bleak trend was reinforced in a recent Harvard University poll of people ages 18 to 29.

The proportion of those polled who think the “American dream” is dead was 48 percent, only 1 percentage point behind the total who think it is alive. That disturbing ratio reflects not only a poor outlook about the nation’s economic direction and future prospects, but a lack of hope, which traditionally had been considered a fundamental American trait.

Both studies reflect difficult realty for millions of Americans experiencing the downside of an increasingly complex, competitive and intertwined global economy. As the middle class dwindles and more people believe the chance of joining that group is beyond their grasp, the character of a nation changes.

The American myth that you can be whatever you want is losing credibility, and that leaves Americans collectively worse off for the loss.

Census tells us where we’re moving The U.S. Census Bureau’s population estimates for 2015 came out Tuesday morning.

The headline findings are North Carolina’s population passed 10 million and Florida added more people than California for the first year in almost a decade.

The numbers, arriving at the halfway mark between decennial censuses, also provide a chance to assess the direction of U.S. growth, economic and otherwise, during this recovery. The total U.S. population was estimated at 321.4 million as of July 1, up 12.7 million, or 4.1 percent, from the last census in April 2010. Seventy percent of that growth occurred in these 10 states, shown in decreasing order: Texas, California, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Washington, Arizona, Colorado, New York and Virginia.

The fastest-growing states in percentage terms were North Dakota, the District of Columbia (which isn’t exactly a state) and Texas, but the D.C. and North Dakota gains were in the tens of thousands and thus have no real impact on the national picture.

Which states weren’t growing? Puerto Rico, West Virginia, Vermont, Maine, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Wyoming, Mississippi and New Mexico.

Puerto Rico isn’t part of the overall U.S. totals cited above, but I couldn’t resist including it here because the numbers are so dramatic. The territory, which has been stuck in an outright

VIEWS Justin Fox economic depression for a while now, lost 6.8 percent of its population in only five years.

The states that added the most people from 2010 to 2015 tend to be big and on a coast. In terms of regions, the biggest gainers in numbers and percentage were the South (which in the Census Bureau’s accounting stretches from Texas to Delaware) and the West. It’s interesting New York made the top 10 list, though. Does this mean Americans are flocking to the Big Apple again?

In a word, no. The Census Bureau also tracks net domestic migration. Here are the 10 states that added the most people from elsewhere in the U.S. since 2010: Texas, Florida, Colorado, North Carolina, Arizona, South Carolina, Washington, Tennessee, Oregon and Georgia.

And here are the 10 states with the biggest losses to domestic migration: New York, Illinois, New Jersey, California, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Maryland and Kansas.

So New York has been hemorrhaging residents to other states.

The only reason its population has nonetheless grown is New Yorkers have been having lots of babies, with 1.3 million births to 792,242 deaths. And many people (630,763 since 2010) have been

moving to New York from other countries.

The same holds for the other states on the domestic out-migration top 10 list – births and overseas immigration prevented outright population loss. The only states with more deaths than births were West Virginia and Maine; the states with the least net immigration from overseas (fewer than 5,000 people each) were Wyoming, Montana and Vermont.

What is one to make of these population shifts? I see three main causes: 1, Aging baby boomers – the generation’s leading edge will begin turning 70 next month – are moving to warmer climes.

2. People are moving away from economically depressed places (Puerto Rico, West Virginia) to where there’s more opportunity (Texas, Colorado).

3. People are moving from places where real estate is expensive to where it’s cheaper.

This last phenomenon is one of the most intriguing and troubling of our time. Californians are moving to Arizona, Oregon and Washington. New Yorkers are moving to Florida, Georgia and North Carolina. Everybody is moving to Texas.

Yet this usually isn’t a case of moving to opportunity, a healthy phenomenon that promotes economic growth. New York City and California’s coastal metropolises are economic juggernauts, reaching new heights in produc-

tivity (economic output per hour worked) and creating lots of new high-wage jobs. Yet people are moving away from them. As the Economist’s Ryan Avent put it in “The Gated City,” an excellent (and short!) 2011 summary of this phenomenon, “millions of Americans are moving from high-productivity cities to lowproductivity cities.” They’re doing this because they can’t find affordable housing in those high-productivity cities or near enough to commute there.

The reasons for this are many.

It’s partly demand, partly geography, partly inadequate investment in transit, partly zoning and other land-use restrictions that make it hard to build new housing in high-cost cities. In a recent paper, Chang-Tai Hsieh of the University of Chicago and Enrico Moretti of the University of California-Berkeley estimated Americans’ tendency to move from high-productivity regions to low-productivity ones had reduced U.S. gross domestic product by 13.5 percent. They figured that regulatory constraints on housing alone depressed GDP by 9.5 percent.

There’s also been a long decline in the percentage of U.S. residents who move each year.

Overall, it appears, not nearly enough Americans are moving to opportunity.

Failing victims in the chain of command The military’s effort to combat sexual assault in its ranks has been handicapped by the reluctance, even refusal, of victims to come forward and report abuse.

Who can blame them, given instances in which those who are supposed to be leading the fight against abuse are sometimes themselves guilty of misconduct?

If there ever is to be real progress, sexual assault crimes need to be removed from a chain of command that is more inclined to protect than prosecute wrongdoers.

A recent investigation by The Washington Post’s Craig Whitlock uncovered a series of previously undisclosed cases in

which soldiers with key roles in the fight against sexual misconduct were accused of using their authority to victimize women under their command. The leader of an Army training institute dedicated to prevention of discrimination and sexual misconduct was accused by seven female employees of inappropriate touching. An Army commander was promoted even as he faced court-martial for sexually harassing and assaulting a female lieutenant on his staff.

The cases call into question how seriously the military takes the fight against sexual assaults.

Poor judgment was shown in entrusting responsibilities to prevent and fight sexual abuse,

and sexual misbehavior was not treated as a serious offense.

“I am concerned about the message it sends to the victims and Soldiers in the unit that he is still in a leadership position, not to mention the impact if the media caught wind,” was the pointed warning that went unheeded about letting the Army commander accused of assault maintain command responsibilities.

Recent years have seen a host of reforms, some spurred by Congress, to address what the Pentagon has acknowledged is a crisis of sexual harassment and worse. These include new legal resources for victims. Reports of sexual assaults are up, which

officials say shows that victims are more willing to trust the system, but many women choose not to pursue charges all the way to trial. That’s in large measure because of the high number of women who say they faced retaliation for filing complaints.

Taking sexual crimes out of the chain of command, as Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-New York, advocates, would help fix that problem. Independent units specially trained to deal with these issues would go a long way toward preventing debilitating scandals that undermine the military’s fight against sexual assault and its ability to accomplish its overall mission.

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.

BEARS HALT 3-GAME LOSING STREAK WITH WIN OVER LOVIE SMITH’S BUCS

Hard-to-figure-out Bears Nothing beautiful or special surpass 2014 win total These Bears have become the ultimate NFL contrarians.

Coming out of Green Bay on Thanksgiving night, they were riding as high as they had been in years, with no obvious explanation as to how and why they got there.

So rather than ride the wave, just when you were starting to believe, they began marching backward and getting worse a week at a time with successive losses at home against San Francisco and Washington, and then appearing to hit rock bottom last week in Minneapolis.

Week 16 in Tampa offered almost nothing but bad matchups for the Bears, but all they did was turn them around, one after another, to come away 26-21 victors over the Bucs on Sunday in one of their more impressive defensive performances of the season.

Is Tampa Bay an offensive juggernaut? No, it definitely is not.

But the Bucs did enter Sunday’s game

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush seventh in the NFL in total offense, fourth running the ball, seventh in first downs and 10th in third-down conversions, and the Bears took most of that away, holding them to 346 yards of total offense before a 43-yard “Hail Mary” on the second-to-last play of the game, only 104 yards on the ground and perhaps most importantly, just 2 for 8 on third-down conversions while accumulating a staggering 14:06 advantage in time of possession.

Offensively, the Bears had their second-best day of the season running the ball, with 174 yards on 39 carries, accounting for their huge time-of-possession advantage. Jay

“Let’s give them credit,” Buccaneers coach Lovie Smith said of the Bears.

All right, let’s do that.

The Bears’ 26-21 win was nothing beautiful or special. The Bears and Bucs are the quiet lower class of the NFL – both have gone 2-4 in their past six games and have no chance at finishing .500.

Games get easier when they are sort of meaningless. That is, once the Bears blew up their postseason hopes with three straight losses after beating the Packers in Green Bay a month ago, it was wrap-the-presents and “Hail, jolly good fellow!” time.

It seems every starter in the NFL has been injured, so there are guys playing in games who are, a.): Taking in the scenery while updating their grad school résumés; or b.): sneakily preparing to swipe some old vet’s job.

Then there’s Jay Cutler.

He has rolled on and on this season, missing time from injury only in Week 2 against the Cardinals in September.

Let’s give Cutty credit for that. I don’t know how you avoid injury in the NFL, other than trying hard not to break your thumb chas-

ing an interceptor or having nothing to do with Ndamakong Suh under any circumstance.

But Cutler has been a veritable rock this season at quarterback, and against the Buccaneers he might not have looked as athletic or adventurous as Tampa’s young Jameis Winston, but he looked like he absolutely knew how to win.

And isn’t that the deal?

His receiving corps was made up of second- and third-stringers – which means those players aren’t fast or overly nimble – and so Cutler did not try to make them do what they couldn’t.

Short passes, screen passes, swing passes, mid-range passes against the deep zone – Cutler used the passing attack to keep the Bucs honest, so the Bears could run all over them.

Johnsburg grad enjoying his time coaching When Chad Hettermann talks to recruits about playing basketball at NCAA Division II Augustana University, he does so with a unique perspective.

Hettermann, a Johnsburg graduate, is in his fifth season on the bench for the Vikings after a four-year playing career at the Sioux Falls, South Dakota, school for head coach Tom Billeter.

“We’ve done a good job finding guys who fit into our system,” said Hetterman, now in his third season as a fulltime assistant coach for the Vikings.

When Hetterman talks with alumni players, he speaks as one of them.

“I like working with our alumni players and getting them back out to games,” he said. “With our older alumni, I like to have them come out and meet coach Billeter. I like

to reconnect them with Augie.

I want them to have pride in the school they played for.”

This winter, the Vikings have given fans and alums plenty to be proud of, earning a No. 2 national ranking from the National Association of Basketball Coaches and winning a November exhibition game at D-I Iowa.

Chad “It’s defiHettermann nitely helped in recruiting,” Hettermann said. “Beating the University of Iowa (76-74) and being on (ESPN’s) SportsCenter was nice. Recruits know about us.”

The Vikings are 9-1 thanks to a trio of senior leaders – 6-foot-9 forward Daniel Jansen, 6-6 forward Casey Schilling and 6-5 guard-forward Alex

ON CAMPUS Barry Bottino Richter. Jansen leads the team with 18.7 points a game, while Schilling (17.8) and Richter (14.0) trail close behind.

“It doesn’t matter who scores,” Hettermann said.

“Whoever is getting hot and whoever is hitting shots is going to get the ball. We have a great group of guys with great chemistry.”

Eight players have seen time in every game this season, while every Augie player has played in at least seven games.

“Our depth really helps,” he said.

In his 133th season, Billeter is the winningest coach in school history. Last season,

the Vikings won their fourth conference title in school history, claiming the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference regular-season and tournament championships.

The team’s 31-3 record was a school record for wins on the way to the Central Regional semifinals.

Along with recruiting and working with alums, Hettermann has gotten a taste of many aspects of a college program.

“I have a lot to do with our academics, and I help with game planning and (day-today) operations and travel,” he said.

But the best part is being around the game, including in the offseason when recruiting.

“My job during the summer is to watch basketball games,” he said. “That’s not too bad.”

Dechow thrives at ODU: Old

Dominion junior wrestler Jack Dechow has a 5-0 record this season and is No. 2 nationally at 184 pounds in three different ranking services – InterMat, FloWrestling and The Open Mat. Dechow, who has a 64-9 career record and was a 201314 All-American, has wins against two ranked opponents this season and is tied for the team lead with three major decisions.

Contributing for No. 1: Jacobs grad Crishawn Orange is playing 19 minutes a game as a top reserve for D-III Augustana College, the nation’s No. 1ranked team by D3Hoops.com.

Orange, a freshman guard, is averaging 4.3 points and 1.5 rebounds for the Vikings (9-0).

Augustana ranks third in the nation in scoring defense, allowing 57.3 points a game.

It also ranks sixth nationally

with an 11.4 rebound margin per game.

McHenry’s Duran, 17, taking his shot in Spain

By JOHN WILKINSON jwilkinson@shawmedia.com MCHENRY – Juan Carlos Duran, 17, made a bigger jump than most high school athletes between his sophomore and junior soccer seasons. Not from junior varsity to varsity, or into the starting lineup, but across the Atlantic Ocean, away from home in a new culture and competing against other professional hopefuls.

Duran, along with 16-year-old Randy Miksch of Gurnee, spent the past three months in Valladolid, Spain, playing soccer and living among the academy facilities of local club Real Valladolid. Duran and Miksch are playing with an academy team made up of high school-aged kids gathered from different countries around the world.

“At first, going in at the training fields was a little nerve-wracking because you don’t know like the talent that you’re going to face and how difficult it is because over there, soccer is the No. 1 sport, so obviously it’s going to be a lot better there,” Duran said recently, back in McHenry. “I started playing at first and then I felt like I was at that same level and I’m improving, and now I feel like I’ve improved a lot and (have) become one of the key players for the team.”

After an initial stint, they are home briefly before heading back for another five months.

“On that program, when you are there, you need to perform,” said Santiago Rubio Gilabert, a director of the recently founded local club Valladolid USA and one of the coaches who helped send them there. “If they wouldn’t have done a good job the last few months, they wouldn’t have been able to come back.”

Located in the northwestern part of the country, Valladolid is Spain’s 13th largest city as of the 2013 census and was, at a time, the nation’s capital.

The city’s soccer club, Real Valladolid, dates back more than 80 years and had spent most of its history bouncing between La Liga, Spain’s top division, and the Segunda second division.

In addition to the typical age-group teams, Valladolid’s youth academy fields this international team, built from about 30 players scouted from a handful of countries.

The Illinois pair initially was noticed by Real Valladolid during a two-week trip to Spain with Rubio Gilabert’s company, Soccer Dreams.

Then, with a director of coaching from Valladolid visiting a local camp, they impressed again.

Duran, a defensive midfielder, played two seasons of varsity soccer at McHenry High School, while Miksch, a goalkeeper, was in school at Warren Township. But as soon as they got student visas and other paperwork sorted out, they left home and families early last semester for Spain.

The players live in a dorm-like

residency where their meals are provided and they are steps from the stadium or the training fields.

“It’s very surreal at times, just to every morning look out and see the stadium there, our residency is just down the street from the stadium,” Miksch said. “But it’s kind of put soccer more into perspective, that it isn’t just a game anymore, this is something that [I] could potentially ... make money off of it. I could reach high levels and play in big tournaments.”

They train two hours, sometimes more, each night after school. On weekends, they play games against other clubs, and both Duran and Miksch have made themselves starters for the international team during their first training stint.

Duran was even called up to train with the “professional under-16, under-17 team,” he said, the players who are signed to academy contracts.

“And then at that level, it’s just ridiculous how good the players are,” Duran said. “It’s like our team is good, and then compared to that professional team, they’re just beyond good.”

Being away from home was tough, too, even if the reason was so exciting. Whenever they could, the pair would go to local cafes where they could get online and call home.

The first thing Duran did when he returned was indulge in some home cooking. His mother, Lucia Contreras, made his favorite meal, a spicy shrimp and rice dish. It was a welcome change from the food in Spain, which was too bland for Duran’s tastes.

Miksch had a similar first day at home.

“First thing, I had Portillo’s, then I went to go surprise my mom at the dentist office and then I went to go train,” Miksch said.

After a brief holiday break at home, they head back overseas Jan. 8.

“Right now, for the next five months, their main goal is to do a good job there so by April, first week of May, they can be offered another year,” Gilabert said. “Right now, that’s their goal, to do a good job. And then next year they will be fighting to try to get out of the international program when they’re 18.”

On average, two players sign out of the international program each year, Gilabert said.

Duran said the first couple of months left him feeling like there is a realistic, or at least more realistic than before, path to making a career out of the game.

“When I first got there, yeah, it was difficult, but I improved quick,” Duran said. “Training with the under-16/17 professional team the first time was a little difficult, but I saw that as I continued training with them I was improving a lot more, almost (to) the same level. So if I keep training, I’ll improve more. Eventually, I don’t know, I just feel like if I keep pushing myself it can happen.”

Hurricanes right wing Kris Versteeg (right) controls the puck ahead of Blackhawks right wing Marian Hossa during the first period Sunday at the United Center. The Hawks lost, 2-1.

HURRICANES 2, BLACKHAWKS 1

Hawks not greasy enough Avoid another shutout with 3.6 seconds left

– a harmless flick of the puck snuck through Eddie Lack (35 saves) as Andrew Shaw crashed the net. But it was far too little, too late. By that point, a last-minute goal by Justin Faulk in the second period had deflated the Hawks, and Victor Rask’s shot off a faceoff win early in the third had all but sealed their fate.

The Hawks had little energy in the first two periods – more than 15 minutes into the game, nobody on any of the top three lines or the top two defensive pairings had a single shot on goal – and had few sustained shifts in the offensive zone. There was little traffic in front of Lack, few second-chance opportunities, and far too many lost puck battles.

They finally turned it up offensively after falling behind 2-0, but still couldn’t solve Lack. Their best chance came with about three minutes left, when Seabrook had a yawning net but couldn’t get his stick on it.

“Everyone was well rested, so that should be to our advantage,” Marian Hossa said. “Obviously, we didn’t take advantage. This game should have played [out] a little different.”

Versteeg, Nordstrom return: Sunday night wasn’t the first time Kris Versteeg walked into the United Center as a visitor. But it was the first time he returned as a reigning Stanley Cup champion.

“It’s still strange coming back, but it’s exciting,” the Hurricanes winger said before the game. “In 2010, I didn’t get the opportunity to come back after we won, so this is really exciting for me and I’ve been looking forward to it.”

Versteeg hardly was blindsided by the Sept. 11 trade that sent him and Joakim Nordstrom to Carolina for two prospects and a fifth-round

draft pick in 2017. He had been traded after a championship before, he knew the Hawks were up against the salary cap, and his name was perpetually in trade rumors in the spring and summer. But he was grateful that the move didn’t come until the end of the summer, which allowed him to revel in his second championship.

“In 2010, it happened right away and I didn’t get to maybe enjoy it as much as I would’ve liked to,” Versteeg said. “This time, it was just kind of enjoying the whole process of winning and realizing how special it was. [Then] you let the business take care of itself and not worry about it so much.”

Versteeg – who called Chicago “a second home to me” – has five goals and 14 assists in 34 games while playing on the top line with the young Hurricanes.

For Nordstrom, the move was a boon. A fringe roster player for the Hawks, he has assumed a much larger role for the young Hurricanes, playing on the second line alongside Jordan Staal. He has two goals and five assists in 24 games.

“It’s been good,” he said. “I play a lot more this year, a lot more minutes every game. … I spent five years here with the [Hawks]. It’s always tough getting traded the first time.

But I saw a good opportunity in it and welcomed it.”

Flesh wound: Defenseman Rob Scuderi was sporting a nasty gash on his upper lip and cheek after taking a puck to the face Dec. 21 in Dallas. Scuderi, who doesn’t wear a visor, was fortunate to escape serious injury.

“It was pretty gross when it scabbed over,” he said. “It looked like I had a growth on my face. …

It made for some interesting family photos [on Christmas].”

By MARK LAZERUS mlazerus@suntimes.com CHICAGO – The Blackhawks went into the NHL-mandated Christmas break on a sour note, a 4-0 loss at league-leading Dallas putting a damper on an otherwise stellar first few weeks of December.

They came out of it even worse, falling 2-1 to the Carolina Hurricanes, the seventh-place team in the Metropolitan Division, on Sunday night. Only a Brent Seabrook goal with 3.6 seconds left prevented them from enduring their second straight shutout loss on either side of the four-day break. It was their first goal in a full week.

Afterward, the Hawks were singing a familiar refrain – they were getting too cute with the puck, looking for the highlight-reel goal instead of the ugly one.

“We’ve got to get greasier goals,” Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said.

“That’s how you score in our league.

You’ve got to take it to the net. I counted about six chances that were either empty nets or potential empty nets [on which] we either misfired, or didn’t bear down, or weren’t hungry enough.”

Added Duncan Keith: “We were a little bit guilty of trying to be too pretty with the puck. Instead of just keeping it simple, throw it at the net and have one guy there.”

That’s what happened on Seabrook’s goal in the dying seconds

Manning angrily denies PED report

By ARNIE STAPLETON The Associated Press ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – Peyton Manning said a report by Al Jazeera on Sunday that suggests he obtained performance-enhancing drugs was “completely fabricated, complete trash, garbage.”

Manning angrily denied allegations to ESPN on Sunday morning he used HGH in 2011.

The report is based on secret recordings made by a former intern at an Indianapolis anti-aging institute who now says he fabricated the allegations.

Al Jazeera sent British hurdler Liam Collins undercover to expose performance-enhancing drug use in sports. Collins made secret recordings of Charles Sly, a former intern at the Guyer Institute, where Manning was treated in 2011 after four neck surgeries.

Sly has recanted the claim that Manning used HGH. Sly, who also named other high-profile athletes on the secret recordings, told Al Jazeera the statements attributed to him “are absolutely false and incorrect.”

Sly told ESPN he fabricated the allegations to test Collins’ legitimacy.

Manning denied ever using PEDs and blasted the report Peyton for suggesting he got Manning drugs that were shipped to his wife, Ashley.

“I can’t speak for any other athlete. I know what I’ve done, I know how hard I’ve worked in my 18 years of playing in the NFL. There are no shortcuts in the NFL. I’ve done it the long way, I’ve done it the hard way.

And to insinuate anything otherwise

is a complete and total joke, it’s defamation and it really ticks me off,” Manning told ESPN. The Broncos and Colts also issued statements Sunday morning in support of Manning.

“Knowing Peyton Manning and everything he stands for, the Denver Broncos support him 100 percent,” the team said. “These are false claims made to Al Jazeera, and we don’t believe the report.”

The Colts, whom Manning played for from 1998-2011, issued a statement calling the report “utterly ridiculous.”

“We are thoroughly familiar with Peyton’s tireless work habits, his medical history, and, most importantly, his integrity,” the Colts said.

“We also note that the ‘source’ of this allegation has since recanted his story.”

Manning joined the Broncos in

2012 and had a record-setting run, going 47-15 until he tore the plantar fascia in his left foot on Nov. 15. That was the same day he broke Brett Favre’s NFL record for most career passing yards.

He’s been sidelined ever since, and backup Brock Osweiler will make his sixth straight start Monday night when the Broncos (10-2) host the Bengals (11-3).

“Throughout his NFL career, particularly during his four seasons with the Broncos, Peyton has shown nothing but respect for the game,” the Broncos said. “Our organization is confident Peyton does things the right way, and we do not find this story to be credible.”

Manning said he sought holistic treatments such as hyperbaric oxygen and nutrient therapy at the Guyer Institute with the consent of the Colts training and medical staff.

BEARS 26, BUCCANEERS 21

Bears need Forte until they don’t TAMPA, Fla. – While Ka’Deem Carey was dancing like Michael Jackson and Jeremy Langford was lowering his shoulder and running over safeties, veteran running back Matt Forte did what he could to return from an ailing back.

The Bears’ medical staff tended to Forte for a considerable amount of time in the second half. He was stretched out while kneeling and twisted about while laying face up.

“I had a little nick,” Forte said after the Bears’ 26-21 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday at Raymond James Stadium. “What happens as running backs, you get these nicks and stuff. I was trying to go back in, and they told me you don’t need to really, at that point, go back in. But I’ll be all right.”

It’s a scenario that encapsulates Forte’s current situation. The Bears need him until they don’t.

Forte, 30, is in a contract year and remains a productive and respected captain.

He had 14 touches for 77 total yards against the Bucs, which included eight carries for 45 yards in the first half.

But Langford and Carey continue to show they could be a capable duo next season should Forte leave in free agency. Sunday was just the most recent example.

Langford ran for 83 yards on 19 carries. Carey had 16 yards on seven carries – six on the Bears’ final possession – but scored on a 1-yard run and 1-yard catch.

Both of Carey’s TDs came when he was at fullback in one of the Bears’ goal-line formations. Langford was behind him in an I-formation, which made for matchup issues.

It’s a look Carey said was added to the playbook three or four weeks ago. He was wide open on his TD reception seconds into the fourth quarter, which came after a play fake to Langford.

“It’s hard to game plan for who is getting the ball,” Langford said.

Langford and Carey admire and respect Forte.

Bears undrafted rookie linebacker John Timu celebrates with coach John Fox after recovering a fumble by Buccaneers running back Doug Martin in the third quartee Sunday in Tampa, Fla.

Undrafted rookies force big turnovers

Jones-Quartey, Timu make key plays on ‘D’

By KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@chicagofootball.com

TAMPA – A jump ball cost him his starting job Oct. 18. Ten weeks later, Harold Jones-Quartey regained his starting job and won a jump ball, helping the Bears to a 26-21 victory over the Buccaneers on Sunday at Raymond James Stadium.

“I put my head down and kept grinding.

I was a little upset when I was benched after the Detroit game. Calvin Johnson had a great play on me,” he said. “I lost my spot and I was kind of determined there that if I let someone get my opportunity, I’m going to do everything I can to earn the coaches’ trust.”

Jones-Quartey had an interception and forced a fumble, which was recovered by fellow undrafted rookie John Timu in Sunday’s win.

Timu’s route to an elevated role Sunday has come over the course of two weeks. He went from practice squad to starting inside linebacker last week, and he found out Saturday he would be relaying the defensive calls in Shea McClellin’s absence in Tampa.

“It felt good to go out there and give guys a heads up about what’s to come,” said Timu, who had two fumble recoveries and six tackles. “If I can help those guys out to see what can happen, the possibilities of a certain play going on, it can help them play faster.”

Jones-Quartey had four tackles and two passes defensed, in addition to the forced

fumble, and the interception he anticipated.

“We had some pressure on the quarterback, he threw it off his back foot,” Jones-Quartey said. “Coaches pointed that play out on film, we saw it all week. I knew what was coming. We had a good pass rush and we made a play.”

Timu and Jones-Quartey discussed the team’s emphasis on creating turnovers, something they haven’t been able to do consistently all season. Jonathan Anderson got in on the fun, too, forcing the second Doug Martin fumble Timu scooped up.

“I think we were plus-three on the day. I think all of them were rookies,” Bears coach John Fox said. “Timu recovered two, and then Harold Jones-Quartey had the one interception that was key. That was down in minus territory. Those are always big, to be on that side of the turnover margin and that helped us win today.”

The Bucs’ sideline wouldn’t know that Jones-Quartey was a Findlay College alum who hadn’t played defense in more than two months the way he motioned to them after incomplete passes.

“That’s my mindset every game,” he said.

“I feel disrespected. I feel people don’t give us [Division II] guys a shot because of where we came from. That drives me. That drives a lot of us small-school guys.”

Jones-Quartey already has his sights set on the season finale, and he knows who he will see Sunday.

“I kind of owe Calvin a little something, so I’m actually looking forward to the Detroit game because they beat us in overtime with a big-time catch, and that’s how I lost my spot,” he said. “I’m really anxious to play that game.”

It’s a safe bet Cutler will be back for 8th season with Bears • TELANDER

Continued from page B1 Cutler’s stats: 20 for 27 for 156 yards, one TD and no turnovers are good, not glossy. Again, what do you need to win?

Yes, Cutler was bailed out for the second week in a row when one of his interceptions was wiped out by penalty on the other team.

That’s luck. So? The luck door swings both ways.

Look at bald Bears kicker Robbie Gould who went 4 for 4 on field goals after gagging on some big ones in recent weeks. Boom – his door reopened!

NFL roundup FALCONS 20, PANTHERS 13 ATLANTA – Carolina’s bid for an undefeated season ended Sunday when Julio Jones’ dramatic 70-yard touchdown reception powered Atlanta to victory over Cam Newton and the Panthers.

Carolina (14-1) got the ball with 90 seconds left and no timeouts remaining.

Newton completed a 19-yard pass to Corey Brown on first down but fumbled when stripped by Vic Beasley Jr. on the next play.

Adrian Clayborn recovered for the Falcons, wrapping up the win.

Matt Ryan threw for 306 yards and one touchdown for the Falcons (8-7).

JETS 26, PATRIOTS 20 (OT) EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Eric Decker’s 6-yard TD catch on the first drive of overtime – after New England chose to kick off – lifted the Jets into position to make the playoffs.

New England (12-3) won the OT coin toss and surprisingly elected to give the ball to the Jets (10-5).

CARDINALS 38, PACKERS 8 GLENDALE, Ariz. – Arizona sacked Aaron Rodgers eight times and returned two of his fumbles for touchdowns to clinch a first-round playoff bye.

Carson Palmer threw for 257 yards and two touchdowns for Arizona (13-2).

Green Bay (10-5) is home against Minnesota in its regular-season finale Sunday.

VIKINGS 49, GIANTS 17 MINNEAPOLIS – Adrian Peterson ran for 104 yards and a TD in three quarters, Harrison Smith took one of Eli Manning’s three interceptions into the end zone and Minnesota (10-5) clinched a playoff spot with a victory over New York on a frigid night.

The Giants (6-9) played without suspended receiver Odell Beckham Jr.

VIEWS Adam L. Jahns players in Bears history has been invaluable. After the game, Carey mentioned the big brother-like influence Forte has been to him.

“We’ve got three guys staying fresh, never really getting too dinged up for the whole game,” Langford said. “It’s hard to stop us when we’re all running hard like that.”

But for how long?

All that is guaranteed for Forte is the season finale against the Lions. Forte is open to a shared workload and wants to return, but he also has acknowledged that his days could be numbered.

Sunday, however, did provide reasons for keeping all three. With receiver Alshon Jeffery out with a hamstring injury and Eddie Royal dealing with an illness, establishing a run game was essential to the Bears’ game plan.

Credit goes to the offensive line, which included Vladimir Ducasse at right guard, for a strong, physical performance. Forte, Langford and Carey combined for 37 carries and 153 yards. The Bucs opened Week 16 with the No. 9 rushing defense, allowing 94.4 yards a game. The Bears’ running backs surpassed that in the first half.

“Our offensive line was just finishing their blocks,” said Forte, who only had three carries in the second half.

“I’d get tackled and I’d see guys coming over the pile still finishing their blocks, playing to the echo of the whistle.”

Together, Forte, Langford and Carey outperformed Bucs star back Doug Martin, who had the NFL’s rushing title in his sights. Martin had 17 carries for 49 yards and a 4-yard TD run, but also lost two fumbles.

“We definitely showed that three backs is definitely better than one,” Carey said.

SPORTS 3

lineman Matt Slauson said. “We’re building for next season.”

Maybe that’s why they played well in this game, with caution and confidence. No pressure.

We know how “next season” always teases us like a mirage in a desert. Is that shimmering object a palm tree or a tombstone?

So trying out players such as young running back Ka’deem Carey made sense.

“There’s so many new guys on this team, so much turnover – in a good way,” Cutler said after the game. “I think (general manager) Ryan (Pace) and (coach) John (Fox) are doing a great job at putting the right guys in this locker room.”

That must mean they want Cutler, as well. He has had a decent

statistical season, and might have won two or three more games with a better defense and – dare we say it? – nutball Brandon Marshall still playing receiver for him.

To wit: Alshon Jefferey is fragile and undependable, and the durable Marshall already has 101 receptions for 1,376 yards and 13 TDs with the playoff-bound Jets. Oopsis on that trade.

What we saw of Cutler was a veteran quarterback willing to ratchet down his game and play it safe. That’s something we’ve always wondered if he could do.

I particularly liked his 100.2 passer rating. Those ratings aren’t everything, but they’re helpful. His against the Bucs marked the fifth time he has surpassed 100.0 this season, and his

ninth time over 90.0. Very good.

His seven-year contract for $126.7 million was ridiculed last year as likely the most bloated in the NFL. So it goes. There are bigger ones out there.

So if the Bears decide they almost certainly won’t get a quarterback of Cutler’s skill in the 2016 draft or nobody will touch his gigantic paycheck (which seems true), say hello to your once and future QB: Mr. Cutler.

Hard to believe next season will be his eighth in Chicago.

Once again, next year’s almost here.

RAMS 23, SEAHAWKS 17 SEATTLE – Todd Gurley scored on a 2-yard TD run with 10:34 left, Akeem Ayers returned a fumble 45 yards for a TD in the first quarter as St Louis ended Seattle’s five-game winning streak.

St. Louis swept the season series from the Seahawks (9-6) having won, 34-31, in overtime in Week 1. The Rams (7-8) flustered quarterback Russell Wilson.

CHIEFS 17, BROWNS 13 KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Alex Smith threw two TD passes for Kansas City, and the game clock stopped QB Johnny Manziel and the Browns (3-13) on the final drive as the Chiefs won a team record-tying ninth consecutive game.

Smith threw for 125 yards and ran for 54, helping Kansas City (10-5) clinch a playoff berth when Pittsburgh lost to Baltimore moments later.

RAVENS 20, STEELERS 17 BALTIMORE – Ryan Mallet threw for a career-high 274 yards in his first start with Baltimore in leading the Ravens to one of the biggest upsets of this contentious rivalry.

The Ravens (5-10) had lost three straight, the past two by a combined 69-20 score. In this one, however, they turned back a team riding a three-game winning streak and striving for a playoff berth.

Baltimore swept Pittsburgh (9-6) for the first time since 2011. The Steelers remain in playoff contention.

TEXANS 34, TITANS 6 NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Brandon Weeden scored his first career rushing TD and threw for two more as Houston took a big step toward clinching the AFC South.

Houston (8-7), which wraps up the regular season by hosting Jacksonville, couldn’t clinch outright when Indianapolis beat Miami, 18-12.

The Titans (3-12) did nothing to hurt their chances at the No. 1 pick in the draft.

COLTS 18, DOLPHINS 12 MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – Third-string quarterback Charlie Whitehurst came off the bench again for Indianapolis, which made a last-minute defensive stand to keep alive their faint playoff hopes.

The Colts (7-8) would have been eliminated from the playoff race with a loss. The Dolphins (5-10) were eliminated two weeks ago.

BILLS 16, COWBOYS 6 ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. – Buffalo rookie Mike Gillislee ran 50 yards for a TD with 2:25 remaining to secure the win for the Bills.

Buffalo (7-8) snapped a two-game skid and won for only the second time in six games. The Cowboys (4-11) lost in quarterback Kellen Moore’s first career start.

LIONS 32, 49ERS 17 DETROIT – Matthew Stafford threw for two TDs, including one to Calvin Johnson early in the fourth quarter for Detroit.

The Lions (6-9) have won five of their past seven, perhaps giving coach Jim Caldwell a chance to keep his job for a third season. The 49ers (4-11) have lost three straight and five of six under first-year coach Jim Tomsula.

SAINTS 38, JAGUARS 27 NEW ORLEANS – Drew Brees passed for 412 yards and three TDs despite his injured right foot. Running back Tim Hightower had 122 yards and two TDs rushing for New Orleans (6-9). Blake Bortles passed for 368 yards and four TDs for Jacksonville (5-10).

Robbie Gould: With the red-zone offense still an issue, Gould came through by making all four of his field goal attempts – and both extra points. His 50-yard field goal was his seventh this season from at least 50 yards out, a career high. Gould also had six touchbacks on his kickoffs.

3

Defense: The Bears’ young, undermanned defense forced three turnovers – two fumble recoveries for middle linebacker John Timu and an interception for Harold Jones-Quartey. They held Buccaneers running back Doug Martin to 49 yards rushing on 2.9 yards a carry and forced quarterback Jameis Winston into completing only 51.7 percent of his throws. The Bucs were 2 for 8 on third down.

1

Avoiding special teams mistake: Last week was the peak for the Bears’ third phase on the season, but it came in a bad loss.

On Sunday, things were good for the most part, but LaRoy Reynolds appeared at fault for Jeremiah George’s blocked punt, which led to a Bucs touchdown.

2

Red-zone offense: A problem throughout the season, the Bears were only 2 for 4 scoring touchdowns inside Tampa’s 20-yard line. A sack on third-and-goal and an Eddie Royal drop on the next third-and-goal opportunity led to two Gould field goals instead of touchdowns.

3

Downfield passing game: Without receiver Alshon Jeffery, the Bears couldn’t really do anything deep in the passing game.

Cutler completed 20 passes, but for only 156 yards, averaging 5.8 yards an attempt. He was efficient and took care of the football, which is what matters. Had the Bears had fallen behind, it would have been extremely tough to come back the way the offense was limited.

3 moments that mattered

1

The facemask penalty: We couldn’t see it in the press box and there didn’t seem to be a replay on Fox, but Bucs cornerback Alterraun Verner was flagged for a facemask, which nullified a William Gholston interception. How’s this for a swing – without the penalty, the Bucs would have had it first down at the Bears’ 15-yard line with a 7-0 lead. Instead, the Bears tied the score at 7 five plays later.

2

The interception: Already trailing 14-13 early in the third quarter, the Bears seemed destined to face an even bigger deficit on third-and-11 from their 12-yard line, but the pass rush got to Winston, who threw a jump ball that Bears safety Harold Jones-Quartey picked off, keeping Tampa off the scoreboard.

3

The throw to Mariani: Up by nine points with 4:54 left, the Bears faced a third-and-12 from their own 40-yard line. Cutler avoided the rush, stepped up in the pocket and found receiver Marc Mariani open over the middle for a 25-yard gain. Instead of punting and giving the Buccaneers a chance for a comeback, the Bears were able to put the game away.

What now?

Record: 6-9 What it means: In the win column, the Bears officially are one game better than last year’s disastrous season, but they still will need a win against Detroit to avoid a second year in a row in last place.

What’s next: The Bears end the 2015 season at home against the Lions, looking for their first win at Soldier Field since Week 4.

Bears have a sturdy foundation in place • ARKUSH

Continued from page B1 Cutler was extremely efficient, completing 20 of 27 passes for 156 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions. He also he two big scrambles for 21 yards.

So what did we learn?

Jeremy Langford is ready to take on the starting running back job if necessary.

There is nothing wrong with Matt Forte, who had 11 carries for 54 yards – with a long of 16 yards – and three catches for 23 yards.

But once he went down in the third quarter with an apparent back injury, Langford took over and finished the game with 83 rushing yards with an average of 4.4 a clip.

Zach Miller has become a good tight end and clearly was Cutler’s security blanket in this one with eight targets and seven catches for 69 yards.

Although he is 31 years old, Miller sat out all of the past three seasons with injuries, and there

Running the football: The Buccaneers hadn’t allowed 100 yards rushing in four weeks and were second in the league in yards per carry, but running backs Matt Forte, Jeremy Langford and Ka’Deem Carey helped a Bears’ rushing attack go for 174 yards at 4.5 yards a pop.

BEARS 3 AND OUT

still is plenty of tread left on his tires.

But he is not a great replacement for Martellus Bennett, who still is the superior player. Miller is the perfect complement, and irrespective of Bennett’s various quirks, the Bears need to bring both back next season and will be one of the best teams in the league at the position if they do.

The Bears must find at least one new starting offensive lineman next season, perhaps more, but at least one.

Vladimir Ducasse and Patrick Omameh have shared the right guard spot, and Omameh is not stout enough blocking for the run, and Ducasse, who is a mauler in the ground game, is a nightmare in pass protection.

There is absolutely no reason to re-sign Shea McClellin. Without him Sunday, the Bears had their fifth-best game of the year stopping the run, and they had their second-best game of the season without him in San Diego.

Although the other two games

he missed against Detroit and Minnesota were just their 12thand 11th-best games this season on run “D,” the Vikings do have the league’s leading rusher in Adrian Peterson.

John Timu is far more physical than McClellin ever has been, and even Christian Jones was more active at the point of attack than he has been at any point this season partnered with McClellin.

Safety Adrian Amos had a third straight shaky outing, but Harold Jones-Quartey at times seemed to be everywhere and definitely earned a longer look in next week’s finale against Detroit.

Finally, and maybe even most importantly, the Bucs marked the Bears’ sixth win of the year, officially stamping them as an improved ball club over last season’s 5-11 Phil Emery/Marc Trestman disaster.

kfishbain@chicagofootball.com TAMPA – Going against a highly ranked Buccaneers run defense, Bears running backs Matt Forte and Jeremy Langford combined for 137 yards on 30 carries (4.6-yard average) and then Ka’Deem Carey came in at the end to be the hammer as they ran out the clock.

Carey also had two touchdowns.

“I never know who’s in the game,” Bears offensive tackle Kyle Long said. “I’ll go to the sideline and say, ‘Hey Matt, what’d you see on that play?’ He’ll point a t K a ’ D e e m o r s o m ething and I’ll go, ‘Oh, he was in.’ I know when Kyle Long Ka’Deem is in because I can hear his runs. I can hear the shoulder pads rocked at the second level, and that’s him doing the rocking of someone else’s shoulder pads. “… But we have a three-headed monster, we’re happy with it. I think Matt has done an exceptional job getting these guys ready to go.”

IT’S OVERTIME HALL OF FAMER DAN HAMPTON

Jones makes most of return to lineup:

Christian Jones received a clear message from the Bears’ staff last week when he was inactive for the game in Minnesota. Before that, he had played in all 29 games in his two NFL seasons.

Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said Jones had been inconsistent. The second-year player said he worked harder this week, and found out Wednesday he would be starting again because of Shea McClellin’s concussion.

“Just go out there and try to be consistent,” Jones said of his goals during the week. “Limit mistakes and go out there and do my job and try to be perfect on my assignment.”

In the 26-21 win over the Buccaneers, Jones tied John Timu for the team lead with six tackles. He also had a QB hit and a pass defensed. The hit he got on his former college teammate, Jameis Winston, helped lead to Harold Jones-Quartey’s interception.

“We had a blitz on. … I came through free and I was able to get in a nice shot on Jamies,” Jones said. “Quartey did a great job finding the ball and picking it off. It was a good play.”

Linebackers coach Glenn Pires told Jones during the week to “keep working and don’t take a step back,” Jones said.

“Just finish strong.”

Efficient, patient offense: With receiver Alshon Jeffery sidelined for the sixth time this season, it was a dink-anddunk day for quarterback Jay Cutler, who completed 74.1 percent of his passes, but at only 5.8 yards an attempt. He was ready for the challenge, however, against Lovie Smith’s group.

“I practiced against this defense enough, you kind of just have to have that going into it, and a play-caller has to do a good job of putting us into that position,” Cutler said. “I think (offensive coordinator) Adam (Gase) did all day long, not getting greedy at all and just saying, ‘Hey, we’re going to be methodical and just kind of, if it’s boring, it’s boring.’ That’s how we have to do it.”

Quick hits: Forte didn’t play in the fourth quarter because of a back injury. Defensive lineman Eddie Goldman left the game with an ankle injury and did not return. … Vladimir Ducasse returned to the starting lineup at right guard. … This was the 11th time in Robbie Gould’s career he made four field goals in a game, which included his seventh 50-plus yard field goal of the season, a career high.

Young couple needs break to see if they fit together Dear Abby: I’m a 20-year-old college student. I have never dated anyone besides my current boyfriend, “Cody.” He’s my first boyfriend. I met him in high school, but we ran into each other in college and quickly began a relationship.

We’re now into our third year together.

We have professed our love for each other. He never said “I love you” to any of his past girlfriends, and I’m happy he said it to me.

My concern is we talk like we’ll be together forever. I think I’d be happy, but should I worry I’ll never know if there may be other guys I feel a stronger connection to? Or if I have enough experience to know what love is? – Just Thinking In Florida Dear Just Thinking: If you’re

writing to me, you are worrying. While for many couples their first love is also their last one, for many others it isn’t, which may be why there are so many exes in this world.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips My advice is to tell Cody while you care for him, you feel it would be better for both of you to take a break and see other people. In some cases, it can cement a relationship.

In others, it can destroy it.

Going that route can be risky, but if either partner is having any doubts, that’s the road to take.

Dear Abby: My father died last month. He’d had a massive stroke and was incapacitated for the last 10 days of his life and was on life support.

After I arrived at the hospital, I received a call from a woman who informed me she is my half-sister. It was upsetting, to say the least. Not only was I losing my father, but I never thought he could keep a secret of this magnitude from me. Because I was angry, I wasn’t friendly toward her.

Should I initiate a relationship with this woman? I’m 38.

My siblings and I were born during my parents’ marriage. This woman’s mother is someone he had an affair with before, during and after his marriage. I have mixed emotions because I feel loyal to my mother, and I’m devastated by my father’s deception regarding this child. – Upset

In Georgia Dear Upset: I doubt your

mother will welcome this person’s presence in her life, so at least for now, I think reaching out would be a mistake.

Your mother might perceive it as almost as much of a betrayal as your father’s was with his girlfriend. Before going further, the question you need to ask yourself is, “Would the benefit outweigh the cost?” Until you can answer that, my advice is to do nothing.

• Write Dear Abby at www. dearabby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Evidence favors daily aspirin Dear Dr. K: I read aspirin might help to prevent cancer.

Is there anything to this idea?

Dear Reader: Open any medicine cabinet in America, and you’re likely to find a bottle of aspirin. Aspirin has been on the market for more than 110 years. It’s an old standby for fighting fever, quieting inflammation and reducing pain. For some, it can help prevent a heart attack or stroke. And growing research points to a possible new benefit for this old friend: reducing the risk of dying from cancer.

Aspirin is one of a group of medicines known as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Other NSAIDs include ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil) and naproxen (Aleve).

Aspirin works by inhibiting two enzymes, COX-1 and COX-2. It’s aspirin’s effect on COX-2 that comes into play with cancer prevention.

COX-2 triggers the production of chemicals that cause fever, trigger inflammation in joints and other tissues and aggravate pain. By inhibiting COX-2, aspirin fights inflammation, pain and fever.

The same COX-2 enzymes that provoke pain, inflammation and fever may have a role in promoting the growth and spread of certain

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff cancers. Of course, COX-2 is far from the only thing that contributes to the wild growth of cancer cells. But scientists have found many of the most aggressive colon cancers have unusually high levels of COX-2. So do many prostate cancers.

An analysis of eight highquality, randomized trials looked at whether taking a daily aspirin could reduce the risk of dying from cancer. The trials covered 25,570 people who had taken aspirin every day for at least four years. In these study subjects, daily aspirin reduced the risk of dying from cancer by 21 percent.

The analysis further showed aspirin was most effective against gastrointestinal cancers. In particular, pancreatic, colorectal and esophageal cancers showed the largest benefit.

The benefit of aspirin was similar in men and women, and in smokers and non-smokers. On the other hand, older people benefited more than younger people.

Volunteers who took aspirin for the longest amount of time had the greatest protection

against cancer death. And a daily dose of just 81 milligrams a day (one “baby” aspirin) was as effective as much higher doses. That’s the same low dose taken for heart attack prevention.

So far, so good. But this is where it gets complicated.

Like any other medicine, aspirin can have side effects.

Bleeding is the most important. Bleeding in the gut – such as from an ulcer in the stomach or from a leaky blood vessel (called an “AV malformation”) in the intestine – can cause major blood loss. More dangerous is sudden bleeding in the brain. While such serious bleeding is very unusual, particularly in people taking low doses of aspirin, it can happen.

With virtually every type of treatment, you need to balance the good it will do against the harm it may cause. I don’t think we know enough about that balance yet to recommend most people take a regular daily aspirin to prevent cancer. But if ongoing research continues in a positive direction, that may change.

Parents will learn from new research Teens: Do you listen to music every day? How often do you find yourself watching television? Common Sense Media conducted a survey of more than 2,000 teens recently and discovered two-thirds of the teens surveyed said they listen to music every day, and 76 percent said they also listen to music while working. Common Sense Media monitors youths’ media use and provides recommendations to parents.

According to founder James Steyer, “Nearly twothirds of teens today tell us they don’t think watching TV or texting while doing homework makes any difference to their ability to study and learn, even though there’s more and more research to the contrary.”

Wise parents will learn useful parenting skills from this information.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 14 years old, and my wonderful mother is 36, and a single mom since my parents divorced five years ago. My dad has since remarried, but my mother didn’t date for a pretty long time. Then about six months ago, she started dating a very nice guy. He also is divorced, and his ex-wife has custody of their 14-year-old daughter.

I am happy my mother has a boyfriend and seems happy, but I am worried she has been losing a lot of weight.

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Dr. Robert Wallace When she started dating Ken, she started a very strict diet and has been eating lots of salads and very little else.

I’m sure she has lost about 20 pounds.

Whenever I tell Mom I think she looks too thin, she says she’s still too fat. This bothers me because I’m worried she may be anorexic.

What should I do? – Worried,

Providence, Rhode Island Worried: Most people

(nearly 90 percent) who suffer from the eating disorder “anorexia nervosa” developed it in their teen years.

However, the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders reports people (usually females) up to age 50 have been known to become anorexic for the first time. So your concern is certainly justified.

Speak to Ken about this and tell him you are concerned your mother may have an eating disorder because she has been losing too much weight. Ask him to encourage her to visit a doctor. Also, discuss the matter with other members of your family and perhaps a close friend of your mother’s.

Ask for their input and help,

as well. This is a matter you shouldn’t have to handle by yourself. But don’t stop seeking help and advice until you are convinced Mom is eating normally again.

Dr. Wallace: I’m a junior in high school and maintain a better than “B” average in the college prep program.

Even though I know studying is important, I think my parents are being unreasonable. They have put me on a schedule with assigned study time from 7 to 10 p.m. Monday through Friday. Even if I finish all my homework, I’m not allowed to watch TV during that time. To make matters even worse, I have to study for a total of two hours on the weekends, but I do get to choose when this will be.

I’m very unhappy about this forced study time, and I resent that they dictate everything in my life. I’d like to hear your opinion. – R.D.

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma R.D.: Providing a set sched-

ule for study is a good idea, but it seems your parents are excessive with their demands. I believe unless a special project is required, 10 hours a week of study time at home should be sufficient.

Perhaps a call from your counselor might help make your study time more reasonable.

Consumers Livid Over Rumors to Block the New AloeCure Big Pharma stands to lose billions as doctors’ recommend drug-free “health cocktail” that adjusts and corrects your body’s health conditions.

by David Waxman Seattle Washington: Drug company execs are nervous. That’s because the greatest health advance in decades has hit the streets.

And analysts expect it to put a huge crimp in “Big Pharma” profits.

So what’s all the fuss about? It’s about a new “health enhancing cocktail” that’s changing the lives of millions who use it. Some doctors call it “the greatest discovery since penicillin”!

And their patients call it “a miracle!”

The name of the product is the AloeCure. And since it’s completely drug-free; the product is available to anyone who wants it, at a reasonable price. But it won’t stay like that forever. Not if Big Pharma has its way.

TOP DOC WARNS: DIGESTION DRUGS CAN CRIPPLE YOU! Company spokesperson, Dr. Liza Leal; a leading integrative health specialist out of Texas recommends an AloeCure health cocktail before she prescribes any digestion drug. Especially after the FDA’s stern warning about long-term use of drugs like Prilosec®, Nexium®, and Prevacid®. In a nutshell, the FDA statement warned people should avoid taking digestion drugs for longer than 14-days; you risk spine and hip damage.

Most people take them for decades.”

Dr. Leal should know.

Many patients come to her with bone and joint complaints and she does everything she can to help them. One way for digestion sufferers to help avoid possible risk of tragic joint and bone problems caused by overuse of digestion drugs; is to take the AloeCure.

Analysts expect the AloeCure to put a huge crimp in “Big Pharma” profits.

The secret to the AloeCure’s “health adjusting” formula is aloe vera. But not the same aloe vera that mom used to apply to your cuts, scrapes and bruises. This revolutionary strain of aloe is grown in special Asian soil; under very strict conditions. And despite its surprisingly pleasant taste, the AloeCure is so powerful it begins to benefit your health the instant you drink it. It soothes intestinal discomfort and avoids the possibility of bone and health damage caused by overuse of digestion drugs.

Much like aloe works externally on cuts, bruises and abrasions. Studies show aloe has dozens of health applications…

HELPS CALM DOWN PAINFUL INFLAMMATION According to a leading aloe research scientist, the amazing plant compounds in Aloe have a powerful anti-inflammatory effect.

Inflammation is your body’s

first reaction to damage. So whether it’s damage that is physical, bacterial, chemical or auto-immune; the natural plant compounds in aloe helps soothe inflammation— rapidly reducing redness, heat and swelling .

RAPID ACID AND HEARTBURN FIX At first, Aloe proved to have an astonishing effect on users who suffer with digestion problems like occasional acid reflux, heartburn, cramping, gas and constipation. But new studies prove it does a whole lot more.

SIDE-STEP HEART CONCERNS So you've been taking proton pump inhibitors for years and you feel just fine.

A 2015 medical study showed

SLEEP LIKE A BABY A night without sleep really damages your body. And continued lost sleep can lead to all sorts of health problems. But what you may not realize is the reason why you’re not sleeping.

Some call it “Ghost Reflux”. A low-intensity form of acid reflux discomfort that quietly keeps you awake in the background.

A couple of teaspoons of the AloeCure will help you sleep more soundly and comfortably through the night.

CELEBRITY HAIR, SKIN & NAILS One of the Best-Kept Secrets in Hollywood. Pills like Nexium and Prevacid greatly reduce your body’s ability to absorb calcium.

Aloe neutralizes the pH levels in your blood so your body

DOCTOR’S EVERYWHERE ARE EXCITED ABOUT THE ALOECURE: "My first experience recommending AloeCure was of a 46 year patient who developed a stomach ulcer due to stress.

I suggested that he take AloeCure and the worst was over within 3 days. After using AloeCure intensely for that time I cut him back to just "use as needed".

To my colleagues, if you’re not using AloeCure, you really need to. To all patients there is powerful help available, find a practitioner who knows of AloeCure.

Dr. Rick Marschall, Port Angeles, WA* long-term use of digestion meds may be a leading cause of heart damage. Getting off those meds and drinking the AloeCure daily, helps you support a healthy heart.

UNLEASH YOUR MEMORY Think about it. If you kept dumping fat and grease down your drain; how long do you think it would take to clog it up? The answer is, not very long at all. And that’s exactly what happens to your brain every time you eat processed, fried or fatty foods. Studies show that your brain needs the healthy bacteria from your gut in

Doctors call it “The greatest health discovery in decades!” order function at its best.

Both low and high dosages of digestion drugs are proven to destroy that healthy bacteria and get in the way of brain function. So you’re left with a sluggish, slow-to-react brain without a lot of room to store information. AloeCure’s special formulation actually makes your gut healthier; so healthy bacteria flows freely to your brain so you think better, faster and with a larger capacity for memory.

can absorb massive amounts of calcium. The result?

CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

TODAY - It’s out with the old and in with the new.

An open mind and a fresh start will help you shape your life to better meet your personal and professional needs.

This is a year to take action instead of stewing about people or situations you don’t like.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You will be appreciated and rewarded for all the little extras you do for friends and relatives. You’ll be offered information that will benefit a cherished cause.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Make your health a priority. Sign up for something that will challenge you physically. Express the way you feel in order to resolve a matter that concerns you.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Check in with people from your past who you feel can contribute to something that you want to pursue. Help is just a phone call or email away. Romance is highlighted.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- If someone is giving you a hard time, the best way to handle the situation is to present yourself and what you do with confidence.

Put your best foot forward.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Give friends and loved ones your undivided attention. Sharing ideas and making social plans will boost your morale and inspire you to do well. Focus on activities that give you pleasure.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Reminiscing can be enlightening, but don’t live in the past. It’s important to learn from experience so that you can move forward in a positive manner.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Don’t let a physical challenge tire you out. It’s important to take care of your health. Use your intelligence to ward off any negative influences or argumentative people.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Put an end to old habits.

Find something you enjoy doing that will contribute to your health and wellness. Once you get started, it will be easy to reach your set goal.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Mix and mingle. Listen and contribute. You have a lot to give and plenty to gain if you participate in events that offer both personal incentives and a different point of view.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Pace your every move and keep your opinions to yourself. Avoiding an altercation with someone is in your best interest. Use your energy to make personal physical improvements.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Whatever you do, give it your all. Put your skills and knowledge to the test and offer to do something extraordinary for a friend, relative or loved one.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Invest more time and effort into honing your skills and planning your next move. You can bring about positive change, but first you have to have everything in place.
