Kenneally seeks state’s attorney job Hand-picked GOP candidate announces run, to face former assistant state’s attorney Regna By CHELSEA McDOUGALL cmcdougall@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Speaking for the first time since filing to run for McHenry County state’s attorney, Patrick Kenneally formally announced his candidacy Tuesday amid a crowd that included local prosecutors, law enforcement and the Republican establishment. Kenneally, 37, is seeking the Republican nomination

for the office, and was handpicked to succeed his boss, State’s Attorney Lou Bianchi. Kenneally, of Crystal Lake, left the state’s attorney’s office briefly in 2014 to work in environmental law, and has worked primarily civil cases since returning in June. He tried the Michael Romano murder case in October. “I am here because this county needs to continue to move forward and not re-

gress,” Kenneally said. “Prior to Lou’s arrival in 2004, McHenry County was an easy place to work if you were a criminal defense attorney. … That all changed with Patrick Lou. No more Kenneally insider deals, no more amendments of DUIs

Long legacy of police mistrust

and dismissals of domestic batteries and zealous prosecutions of the worst, most dangerous offenders.” Later he added: “As state’s attorney, I am ... first and foreDan Regna most a servant of the law. Politics will have no place in the administration

of my official duties as state’s attorney.” Kenneally will face a primary challenge from Dan Regna, a former assistant state’s attorney who left the office in 2004 when Bianchi was elected. Regna, 51, of Woodstock, since has been in private practice and says he is an outsider who will bring true reform. Regna unsuccessfully ran against Bianchi in 2008. “Under Bianchi’s leader-

ship, the state’s attorney’s office serves as the political muscle of McHenry County,” Regna said in a statement. “Mr. Bianchi’s concentration of political power [and] patronage within the McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office would garner envy from the Chicago Department of Streets and Sanitation. Mr. Kenneally does not have the

AREA COLLEGES CHANGING APPROACH TO STUDENT DEBT

Relations between Chicago police and blacks shattered By TAMMY WEBBER and DON BABWIN The Associated Press

CHICAGO – A South Side police commander and his officers tortured black suspects into confessing to crimes they didn’t commit. Another rogue unit shook down drug dealers on the West Side for drugs and money. A different group of officers accepted payments from drug dealers to warn them of police raids. And for years, whenever Chicago officers did something wrong, their colleagues covered for them. The city’s longstanding reputation for police misconduct and brutality shattered relations with the black community long before the federal government announced this week that it was launching a wide-ranging civil rights investigation of the Chicago Police Department. The probe was prompted by a video showing a white officer shooting a black teen 16 times and revelations that other officers filed false reports about what happened. “There is a deep mistrust, and it really becomes a cancer here in Chicago because it eats away at respect for authority and respect for the law ... that becomes toxic,” said the Rev. Marshall Hatch of New Mount Pilgrim Missionary Baptist Church. He said some communities feel like they’re being occupied by police rather than protected by them. Craig Futterman is an attorney who helped win the release of video showing the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald. He said the footage underscored two things: A pervasive code of silence at all levels of the department has allowed misconduct and brutality to fester, and previous reform efforts have done little to solve the problem. “Political leaders never had the political courage to address underlying issues that allow a minority of police officers to abuse the most

McHenry County College financial aid/workstudy specialist Ina Weiskopf (center) speaks with students recently in her campus office. The number of students taking out student loans is down at MCC. College officials attribute this to a relatively new practice adopted by MCC last year to either require or strongly encourage students to come in and sit down with a financial aid adviser, instead of simply auto packaging loan options with financial aid.

MCC, nearby community colleges see drop in student loan borrowing By ALLISON GOODRICH agoodrich@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – As opposed to previous years, McHenry County College students who decided to take out student loans last year had to make a request and sit down with a counselor in order to do so. The result, MCC’s Director of Financial Aid Leana Davis believes, has been a reduction in both the number of students taking out student loans and the total amount awarded over the past year and a half. During the age of staggering student loan debt across the country,

it’s a trend that mirrors that of other area colleges, which also have put measures in place to ensure students only take out debt they’ll be able to handle once out of college. In the 2013-14 year, 789 MCC students took out about $2.8 million in direct student loans, Davis said. That was when loans were auto packaged in a way that allowed students the freedom to decide how much to take out based on their eligibility for federal loans. However, since the 2014-15 school year, that practice has been abandoned for one that offers students more than just an online choice. “There was a decline from [20]13-

14 to [20]14-15 due to the switch from auto packaging loans to the request and loan counseling process,” Davis wrote in an email. In 2013-14, there was a little more than $1.4 million in subsidized loans and $1.3 million in unsubsidized loans, while in 2014-15, students took out $918,000 subsidized and $1.1 million unsubsidized. The number of student borrowers declined to 522 in 2014-15, too, she said. MCC’s relatively new loan counseling practices look familiar to financial aid officials at two nearby schools. Elgin Community College

changed the way loans were processed back in 2011, said Mary Crowe, ECC’s assistant director of financial aid and scholarships. “What we did in the past was package student loans so a student with a Pell Grant had the option to say ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to ‘Do you want the loan?’ and ‘Do you want the max amount?’ ” Crowe explained. “A lot of students would just say, ‘Sure, I’ll take it.’ ” Now students have to sit down annually with a loan adviser, who will go through the cumulative loan amount, explain the interest

“The key is communicating with these students. Keeping them informed of the amounts that they’re borrowing. The most important thing to remember is that we’re here to help.” Laura McGee, Harper College director of student financial assistance

Want to give? Be sure to do it wisely Each afternoon, I feel a familiar pull at my heartstrings. Children with developmental and physical disabilities. Starving children in other parts of the world. Wounded military veterans. Mothers fighting cancer. Abused animals. If you watch the channel that my 84-year-old mother does, you hear these pleas in between the sales pitches for Medicare supplemental insurance policies and prescription drugs. Those charity solicitations are hard to ignore. It’s hard to look into the faces of those who are suffering and not want to help. Each cause desperately seeks my monthly donations. And yours. But how can we decide to whom to give? After all, we’re not all Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and able to give away billions of dollars over our lifetime. Most of us have limited resources and want to get the best “bang for our buck” when we part with our hard-earned cash. We want to make sure that the organizations that get our money

LOTTERY

VIEWS Joan Oliver are trustworthy and actually using the money for the cause rather than spending it on excessive administrative costs or marketing. Happily, help is available. For instance, the Better Business Bureau uses 20 standards to evaluate charities that cover governance, effectiveness reporting, finances, appeal accuracy and other issues. The BBB offers these tips to give wisely. • Watch out for name similarities: Before you give, make sure you have the exact name of the charity you support. Oftentimes charities related to the same cause have similar names. • Avoid split-second donation decisions from unfamiliar groups: The holiday season often brings a flood of donation requests by phone or in public locations. Resist any pressure to make an immediate giving decision.

Responsible groups will welcome your donation whenever you give it. • Be wary of emotional appeals: Marketers sometimes will exploit the holidays to make emotional appeals. Always research to verify whether the charity operates ethically. • Be careful when giving to charities that do not disclose: Although participation is voluntary, charities that do not disclose requested information to the BBB’s Wise Giving Alliance should raise a red flag for donors. Visit Give.org to find out whether your charity discloses its information. • Rely on standards-based evaluations: Charities can show they are trustworthy by agreeing to in-depth evaluations, such as those of the 20 BBB Standards for Charity Accountability. Free access to charity reports can be found at Give.org. Additional resources to check on charities can be found at the Illinois Attorney General’s website, www. ag.state.il.us/charities. Even more information, including tips for donors of all sorts, can be found at Charity

Navigator, www.charitynavigator. org. Another good resource is Guidestar.org, which collects information on all charities in the United States and makes their tax information available. Of course, maybe you’d rather give of your time. In McHenry County, there are many fine charitable organizations that can put you to work. Many volunteer opportunities can be found at www.volunteercentermchenrycounty.org. There you also will find a link to “wish lists” at area nonprofits for items, such as cleaning supplies or computer equipment, they would love to have donated. There’s no shortage of charities that need help. With a little research, we can find the best fit for us. Remember, there is happiness in giving. But it pays to give wisely.

Police program suspended Fox Lake officials say explorer post was ‘mismanaged’ by Gliniewicz By KATIE DAHLSTROM kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com FOX LAKE – Fox Lake village officials have temporarily suspended the youth police explorer program they said was “outrageously mismanaged” by disgraced police Lt. Joseph Gliniewicz.

Fox Lake Police Explorer Post 300 did not comply with several rules established by the Boy Scouts of America, the governing body for youth explorer programs, Fox Lake police spokesman and Lake County Sheriff’s Detective Christopher Covelli said. He said violations included

allowing unregistered youths into the program, allowing unregistered adult volunteers who had not had background checks or harassment training, and paying some explorers for working traffic details. Boy Scout officials also had concerns the explorers were operating with a SWAT mentality

rather than learning about law enforcement and police work. “One of the things the Boy Scouts made very clear to us is they are not interested in rechartering the explorer post in the manner it was run under Gliniewicz,” Covelli said. Gliniewicz staged his Sept. 1 suicide to look like a homi-

cide amid mounting fears officials would discover he had embezzled an amount in the high “five-figure” range from the explorer program, investigators have said. He also illegally obtained federal surplus equipment for explorers,

Christmas tree farms make WOODSTOCK Subdivision aims to make county a winter destination properties more marketable Somewhere between Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and the final shopping hours on Dec. 24, the cars, minivans and SUVs in McHenry County take on a new look with Christmas trees on their roofs. It’s hard to miss the sight of these trees. Tangled with netting and tied precariously with rope, their horizontal trunks give a holiday-powered, rocket-booster quality to the vehicles, as if they’re ready to launch the passengers straight into Christmas. On a weekend, a game of “Count the Christmas Trees” easily can lead to triple-figure counts. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, McHenry County harvested 7,335 Christmas trees in 2012, more than any other county in northern Illinois. These seasonal car-top ornaments represent more than the arrival of holiday joy and jolly ole’ Saint Nick. These trees represent a significant economic influx for the county. Both residents and visitors contributed nearly $450,000 to our local farms with Christmas tree purchases in 2012, based on the USDA statistics. Add on the wreaths, ribbons, bows, ornaments, tree stands, hot chocolate, candy canes and cookies available at many of the county’s Christmas tree farms, the economic effect of these farms grow even more. The Christmas tree indus-

try even played a role in our economy during the summer, when the Richardson Farm in Spring Grove hosted the Mid-America Christmas Tree Association’s annual meeting and the National Christmas Tree Association’s regional conference and trade show. Hundreds of Christmas tree growers from throughout the United States attended these events. The holidays, however, are more than the number of trees, people and dollars. Winter, in the many ways we celebrate it, offers a time to slow down, build memories, create traditions and reconnect with simple things, such as strolling the quiet main streets of our communities, browsing for antiques in Hebron or catching a holiday show at the Raue Center. Our county is a destination for holiday travelers, whether they are longtime residents or passing through to cut a tree and return to Interstate 90. When you see the family on the Woodstock Square or parked along Richmond’s Main Street with a Christmas tree tied to the top of their minivan, take a moment to ask them where they’re from. Maybe they’re from down the street and know your neighbors. Or maybe they’ve traveled across the state for

their tannenbaum hunt. Wherever they call home, welcome them and tell them thank you for supporting our farm families and businesses that make our corner of the world a destination. A thank you goes to the businesses that continue to reinvest in our mission by renewing their tourism partnership. Those include: • Bill’s Friendly Christmas Tree Farm in McHenry. • Crane Hollow Bed and Breakfast in Harvard. • Green Box Boutique and Oney’s Tree Farm in Woodstock. • The Huntley Park District and Morkes Chocolates in Huntley. • The Illinois Railway Museum in Union. We also welcome our newest tourism partners: • Ben’s Christmas Tree Farm in Harvard. • Chain O’Lakes Brewing Co. in McHenry. • Chicagoland Transportation Solutions in Barrington. • Inn at Lake Elizabeth in Richmond. • Scorched Earth Brewing in Algonquin.

Joe DeMay, executive vice president of the bank. He said the units sell for about $200,000. DeMay said the life-leases previously on the properties were “a hurdle that was out there,” and they’re looking forward to selling more with the change. “The only thing you’re doing is creating property lines so the people who bought the property can sell it,” Woodstock Planning and Zoning Administrator Jim Kastner said of the plat change. He said the change should be official by the end of the year. The ordinance amending the plat was passed unanimously. Council member Mike Turner was absent, and council member Mark Saladin recused himself because his law firm represents Hearthstone and Prairie State Bank.

Economic plan up for review By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Any resident can review and provide feedback on a draft regional economic development plan between Boone, McHenry and Winnebago counties during an open house Dec. 15 in Woodstock. Earlier this year, government and business leaders from each county started working on the regional plan, called the Comprehen-

sive Economic Development Strategy, to support regional economic projects and help secure federal economic development grants. The three groups held an introductory open house on the new regional effort in July. Now McHenry County residents can see the full proposed plan during another open house from 5 to 7 p.m. Dec. 15 inside the McHenry County Administration Building, 667 Ware Road, Woodstock.

The draft plan and public comment form also are available at www.eddni.org/ceds. Residents have until Jan. 8 to submit public comments on the proposal. Physical copies are available at the McHenry County Department of Planning and Development inside the administration building in Woodstock. For information on the regional effort, call Thomas Bona at 779-348-7009 or email tbona@eddni.org.

who bought into that would be refunded part of the sales. Hearthstone acquired the subdivision in 2013, and owns 14 of the 20 units in the subdivision, Egan said. The other six are owned by Prairie Community Bank in Marengo. The original plat for the subdivision approved in 2005 was for 12 duplex structures with 24 single-family units for seniors, according to city documents. Two duplex structures were never built after the original developer went bankrupt, documents stated. Egan said about seven or eight of Hearthstone units are occupied now, but they are expecting two more units to be occupied after the plat change. The properties owned by Prairie Community Bank have always been vacant, said

President and CEO of Hearthstone Communities Terry Egan said a plat change for the subdivision, approved by the Woodstock City Council on Tuesday, made the change so owners will actually own the property. “We think it’s gonna be a lot more successful just to allow residents to come in and purchase their own property,” Egan said.

D-154 board OKs tentative levy hike

Following is a list of places to give blood. Donors should be 17 or older or 16 with a parent’s consent, weigh at least 110 pounds and be in good health.

By ALLISON GOODRICH agoodrich@shawmedia.com MARENGO – Marengo Community High School District 154 is asking for upward of $80,000 in additional property tax revenue, according to information on the recently approved tentative levy. Last week, the board unanimously approved a ballooned levy of $7.89 million for the capped funds, which equates to a 3.5 percent increase over last year’s extension, Superintendent Dan Bertrand said. However, without the balloon – applied to capture new taxable property – the more likely extension is about $7.63 million compared with last year’s $7.54 million, or an increase of 1.12 percent, including new construction, Bertrand said. In a memo from Bertrand to board members, he explains the increase will not be enough to cover an expenditure increase coming next year. “It should be noted that the current collective bargaining agreement between the board and the [Marengo Education Association] for next year includes an increase of $210,000,”

Bertrand said in the memo. “Therefore, we already know that expenses will exceed the increase in property tax revenue by $125,204 while already operating at a deficit budget.” In 2015-16, the contract will be in its third year out of four total, and likely will require the district to pull from its reserves, Bertrand said. “The district has some fund balances and the board is comfortable with running some deficit due to [fund] balances,” he added. Despite the extension increase, the tax rate is expected to fall given an estimated increase in EAV for the first time since 2009. Between 2008 and 2014, District 154 has seen its EAV decline about 37 percent. The approval of the tentative levy comes after the district last year opted to freeze the tax levy. Done in order to “give some taxpayers relief,” the freeze resulted in a perpetual loss of about $130,000 per year, Bertrand said. The final adoption of the levy is expected to come during the Dec. 14 board meeting.

Fox Lake Village Administrator Anne Marrin points out a SWAT graphic used by Lt. Joseph Gliniewicz for the police explorers program he oversaw. Gliniewicz was allegedly told he did not have permission to use the graphic, and the company that owns the copyright to the graphic is suing the Gliniewicz estate. decided about 10 days ago to disband the program and let the group’s charter expire at the end of the year, stressing police want to see the program running in the future. “The officers are healing themselves, and many officers

The decision still also could lead to a higher city tax rate for residents, as the city hasn’t yet received an estimate on the value of taxable property within its limits yet, according to city documents. The vote also did not affect what other taxing bodies do. The council also voted unanimously to abate taxes for loan payments on five bonds as it typically does, Morefield said. Despite “a number of economic uncertainties and challenges” facing the city, staff advised the council ahead of Monday’s vote that the city could afford to forgo an inflationary increase, which would bring in $55,000, less than 1 percent of its general fund budget.

The Northwest Herald took an in-depth look at property taxes in McHenry County and the issues surrounding them for taxing entities and residents. Read the whole series at www.NWHerald.com/ propertytaxes. Much of that confidence comes from a general fund balance that has grown to $10 million at the end of the last budget year in April from $2.5 million five years earlier, even as the city kept its property tax levy flat, according to council documents. The growth was caused by higher-than-expected sales and income tax revenues, cost-cutting measures including the elimination of staff positions, and holding off on larger-ticket projects and purchases.

Alcocer’s vehicle subsequently struck him and sent him airborne into the middle of the road, Vance said. A Bull Valley police officer parked in a parking lot in the area witnessed the crash, Vance said. Alcocer’s Escort missed the police vehicle by a few feet, and the officer provided first aid until a crew from the McHenry Township Fire Protection District arrived, he said.

Alcocer was transported to Centegra Hospital – McHenry, where he was pronounced dead at 6:20 p.m., McHenry County Coroner Anne Majewski said. An autopsy performed Tuesday showed Alcocer died from injuries to his spinal cord, chest and abdomen. The Marengo woman was not injured and was wearing her seat belt, Vance said. Both were the only occupants in their vehicles. Police said there were no immediate signs drugs or alcohol were factors in the crash. Police have not issued any citations, but the investigation is ongoing.

Meanwhile, Fox Lake officials are sorting through the stockpile of military surplus gear Gliniewicz had amassed over the years. The Fox Lake Police Department also is in a state of transition. It’s operating under an interim administration, put in place after Gliniewicz’s death and the departure of former Police Chief Michael Behan, who retired amid an investigation into an unrelated incident in late August.

Shooting highlights problems • POLICE

Former Chicago police Lt. John Burge enters the Dirksen Federal Building in Chicago on June 28, 2010. Burge was convicted of lying about the torture of suspects by officers under his command. The Chicago Police Department’s decades-long reputation for misconduct and brutality shattered relations with the black community long before the federal government announced this week that it was launching a wide-ranging civil rights investigation.

Continued from page A1 vulnerable among us, disproportionately black folk, with impunity,” said Futterman, a professor at the University of Chicago, which last month released an analysis that found of 56,000 complaints against Chicago police, only a fraction led to disciplinary action. The department first earned a widespread reputation for brutality during the 1968 Democratic National Convention, when officers were seen on television beating demonstrators. In the years that followed, that belief was cemented by one scandal after another. From the 1970s to early 1990s, a police unit led by former Cmdr. Jon Burge used electric shocks, suffocation and beatings to get black men to falsely confess to crimes, some of which landed them on death row. So far, 18 have been exonerated and received tens of millions of dollars in reparations from the city. Burge was convicted of lying about the torture and served 4½ years in prison. “Having a 20-year reign of terror in the African-American community affected not only the men, but their families and the entire community,” said attorney Flint Taylor, who helped exonerate many of the victims. But Burge and his men were hardly the only problems. A group of officers in a southwest side district was arrested in the 1980s and convicted after a federal probe found they were paid off by drug dealers to warn them of police raids and even beat up competing dealers. In the mid-1990s, a group of elite drug-and-gang officers on the West Side shook down drug dealers for money and cocaine, committing robberies and home invasions. Their subsequent arrests forced prosecutors to drop more than 120 narcotics cases. Several members of another elite unit were charged in

2006 and later convicted of invading the homes of drug dealers to steal money and drugs. Ringleader Jerome Finnigan was sentenced to 12 years in prison after pleading guilty in 2011 to a federal tax charge and ordering a hit on another officer to keep him from talking to federal investigators. On Tuesday, a Chicago police commander accused of shoving his gun down a suspect’s throat and threatening to kill him went on trial on charges of aggravated battery and official misconduct. Mayor Rahm Emanuel – who at first opposed the civil rights investigation, then said he welcomed it – forced police Superintendent Garry McCarthy to resign, named a new leader of the city’s Independent Police Review Authority, which investigates police shootings, and created a task force to improve police accountability. Last year, his administration said it would be more transparent by releasing completed police misconduct investigations. In the McDonald case, officials said they could not release the video of the October 2014 shooting because the investigation was ongoing. That

prevented the public from seeing it before Emanuel’s spring re-election. A judge disagreed and ordered the video released last month. The McDonald shooting highlights problems that are deeply ingrained in the department and could be difficult to eradicate – especially a code of silence among otherwise good officers that keeps bad ones on the street, said Futterman and Taylor. After officer Jason Van Dyke fatally shot McDonald last October, he and other officers on the scene filed reports saying that the teen lunged at the officer with a knife. When the video was released more than a year later, it showed McDonald veering away from police before he was shot by Van Dyke, who then emptied his gun into McDonald’s body. Van Dyke was charged with first-degree murder just hours before the footage was released. Futterman said the fact that higher-ranking officials did not correct the lies told to the public about McDonald’s death and fought to suppress the video means the code of silence is “not just at rank-and-file level ... but is approved by supervisors and commanders.”

rate, and show what the student will owe. “The whole point was kind of philosophical,” Crowe said. “We wanted to lessen their debt when they leave, try to keep it as minimal as possible, especially because so many of our students plan to transfer to a four-year school.” Making students consciously think about it, rather than getting it automatically, can make all the difference, Harper College Director of Student Financial Assistance Laura McGee said. It’s shocking, she said, how many people don’t know what a budget is or how to make one. After having students fill out a budget form, staffers in the financial aid office could find the student has

enough to cover bills and books without borrowing at all. “So we ask, ‘So why are you asking for $10,000?’ ” McGee said. Since making the change, ECC officials have seen a definite decline in students who pursue direct loans, from 1,840 in 2009-10 down to 1,009 in the 201415 year, according to ECC data. The amount awarded has fallen from $6.4 million in 2009-10 to $3.7 million in 2014-15. At Harper, too, borrowing has been reduced by more than 37 percent since changing the loan request process in 2012, McGee said. “The key is communicating with these students,” she said. “Keeping them informed of the amounts that they’re borrowing. The most important thing to remember is that we’re here to help.”

OPINIONS WEDNESDAY

ANOTHER VIEW

Congress finally set to replace NCLB By year’s end, the controversial No Child Left Behind federal education law likely will be history. Last week, the U.S. House approved an NCLB replacement, and the Senate is expected to pass the companion bill this week. President Barack Obama is expected to sign the measure soon after. Two Minnesota lawmakers, Republican Rep. John Kline and Democratic Sen. Al Franken, deserve credit for working out details of the longawaited rewrite in conference committee. As committee chairman, Kline led the negotiations on the finishing touches, building on the bipartisan work of other lawmakers. The compromise attempts to strike a balance between the Democrats’ emphasis on the academic issues of poor and minority students, and the Republican focus on less federal and more state control of public schools. It rightly ends some of the most onerous features of NCLB, such as labeling and sanctioning schools based on narrow test criteria and setting unrealistic academic goals. It also leaves open, however, the possibility that without those requirements, some states might neglect efforts to improve learning for struggling students. One positive feature of NCLB has been the attention it focused on America’s significant learning gaps between white students and students of color. The new bill wisely maintains required annual proficiency tests in math and reading, but it would allow states to decide which tests to administer and how they would use results to hold schools and teachers accountable. States still would be required to take action with lowperforming schools, but the federal government could not decide what steps would be taken. The new rules would consolidate nearly 50 federal programs and allow states and schools more control over how they spend federal money. The bill also encourages states to limit testing and would end federal efforts to tie test scores to teacher evaluations. Approved by Congress and then-President George W. Bush in 2002, NCLB was an iteration of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act passed in 1965 during the Johnson administration. Congress was supposed to reauthorize the law in 2007. Yet despite nearly universal public backlash and calls for change, NCLB remained in place and became caught in a broader debate over the federal role in public education. After the House vote last week, Education Secretary Arne Duncan said in a statement the vote was “good news for our nation’s schools,” citing administration priorities such as a new earlychildhood program that made it into the bill. Franken admitted it is not a “perfect” bill, but he said he was pleased it includes more resources for student mental health needs, better training for principals, increased science and technology instruction, and the flexibility to use tests that more accurately measure skills In several areas, the new law brings welcome, long-overdue changes to federal education oversight. At the same time, states must remain committed to narrowing learning disparities – even after some of the federal requirements are no longer in place.

ANOTHER VIEW

Winning with inspiration On Thursday, Speaker of the House Paul Ryan set forth a vision for his party, arguing, “Our number one goal for the next year is to put together a complete alternative to the left’s agenda.” Meanwhile, also on Thursday, across the way, Ryan’s colleagues in the Senate were voting again – it’s hard to keep track, but the number is more than 50 – to repeal President Obama’s signature piece of domestic legislation, the Affordable Care Act. At this point – seven years into the Obama presidency – it’s safe to say most Americans are fully aware of what Republicans are against, which is pretty much anything Obama is for. But if the party faithful want to win national elections, they should be listening to Ryan, who is telling them they need more than that. As America prepares for its quadrennial dance with potential White House partners, Ryan’s message rings true. The questions on voters’ minds are all about what comes next. Relitigating the past seven years may fan the flames of anger among the base, but it’s not the message likely to capture the imagination of November 2016 voters. It will take, as Speaker Ryan suggests, a complete agenda. Preferably, one that inspires.

IT’S YOUR WRITE Proud of events for veterans

To the Editor: St. Margaret Mary School in Algonquin really knows how to treat veterans. On Nov. 11, the entire school gathered in the auditorium for a very special day under the leadership of Principal Amy Johnson and eighth-grade teachers Ms. Peterson and Ms. Ferguson, along with the school band under the leadership of Mrs. Swenson. The band of advanced and intermediate fifth- through eighthgrade students played patriotic songs. The presentation of the flag was done by eighth-graders. The veterans had their stories read by the eighth-graders who personally escorted them into the room. Each veteran was presented a special poster made by the kindergarten class with the help of teachers Mrs. Jinkins and Mrs. Benner. It is very nice to know the teachers at St. Margaret Mary School recognize the importance of the veterans and their service. The parents of the students at St. Margaret Mary should be very proud of their children’s teachers.

We are very proud grandparents. Jerry and Diana Dutka Algonquin

We can’t make it on our own

To the Editor: “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6). Two thousand years ago, a weary world was in need of a savior. On one holy night, the gift arrived. Somewhere between then and now, we have resorted back to the belief we can make it on our own. World events are proving us wrong. If we are honest with ourselves, we constantly miss the mark of meeting God’s behavior requirements. Laws passed or some clergy approval doesn’t make bad behavior right. Remove or neglect God’s word from our lives and we are left with chaos, confusion and death. There is only one God, in three Persons, and His Name is “I AM.” For those of us who are weary,

House of Commons sees Churchill-like moment LONDON – Wisdom often can be found in unexpected places. During debate in the House of Commons on whether Britain should join the U.S. and Russia in bombing ISIS targets in Syria, Hilary Benn, the shadow foreign secretary of the liberal Labour Party, delivered a speech that approached Winston Churchill in its vision: “And we are here faced by fascists. Not just their calculated brutality, but their belief that they are superior to every single one of us in this chamber tonight, and all of the people that we represent. They hold us in contempt. They hold our values in contempt. They hold our belief in tolerance and decency in contempt. They hold our democracy, the means by which we will make our decision tonight, in contempt. And what we know about fascists is that they need to be defeated. And it is why, as we have heard tonight, socialists and trade unionists and others joined the International Brigade in the 1930s to fight against Franco. It’s why this entire House stood up against Hitler and Mussolini. It is why our party has always stood up against the denial of human rights and for justice.

VIEWS Cal Thomas And my view, Mr. Speaker, is that we must now confront this evil. It is now time for us to do our bit in Syria. And that is why I ask my colleagues to vote for the motion tonight.” Members of both parties cheered, and the motion passed. In the U.S., we get moronic statements claiming climate change is “directly related” to terrorism (Sanders), endure calls for more gun laws when current gun laws are disobeyed and stand bewildered as our president, in the face of attacks by radical Islamists, says, “We cannot turn against one another by letting this fight be defined as a war between America and Islam,” while Attorney General Loretta Lynch targets people who use anti-Islamic language for fear it “will be accompanied by acts of violence.” Meanwhile, Islamic extremists move about the U.S. with apparent impunity. MSNBC and other networks, meanwhile, give airtime to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a so-called

advocacy group with ties to the Holy Land Foundation and Hamas, to spout propaganda that the San Bernardino murders had nothing to do with Islam. And let’s not forget those “Christian” killers who shoot up abortion clinics, as if these are immorally equivalent. The BBC also refuses to label ISIS killers as terrorists, preferring to call them “militants.” In his brief address Sunday, President Obama offered no new strategy for defeating Islamic terrorism. He disingenuously claimed his policies are working. If this is success, what does failure look like? The UK and U.S. have invited this madness by admitting thousands into our countries, many of whom come from regions that do not embrace Western values, foolishly hoping these people will assimilate. The FBI says it is investigating ISIS suspects in every U.S. state. Why, then, are we allowing more refugees in before these investigations are concluded and action taken? Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich described the Islamist movement as a “virus.” A virus must be isolated and eradicated. Bombing a foreign country is

not enough. Just as a virus requires leadership from the medical community and cooperation from those at risk of infection, the ISIS virus requires political leadership, which President Obama has failed to provide. What will our leaders say if these murderers succeed in acquiring weapons of mass destruction? What happens if one of these weapons wipes out London, New York or Washington? Should we take decisive action now, or wring our hands later? On Nov. 16, 1934, Winston Churchill, who stood virtually alone in his early warnings about the growing rearmament of Germany and the threat it posed to a world that preferred the false comfort denial brings, told his fellow parliamentarians: “As we go to and fro in this peaceful country with its decent, orderly people going about their business under free institutions and with so much tolerance and fair play in their laws and customs, it is startling and fearful to realize that we are no longer safe in our island home.” Eighty-one years later, we are again unsafe.

BRIEFS Ill. leaders report minor progress in budget talks

CHICAGO – Illinois legislative leaders said they made minor progress during a Tuesday meeting aimed at ending the state budget stalemate, including agreeing to take another shot at overhauling a public pension system that’s billions in debt. Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner, GOP leaders Sen. Christine Radogno and Rep. Jim Durkin, Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton sat down for the second time in as many weeks to try to end an impasse now in its sixth month. Speaking to reporters afterward, Madigan, Radogno and Durkin described the meeting at Rauner’s office in Chicago as cordial and said they will meet again next week. They said the conversation behind closed doors has focused almost entirely on legislative priorities Rauner said he wants, including term limits for lawmakers and curbing the rights of labor unions to collectively bargain.

6 arraigned in abduction of 2 college students ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Six people have been arraigned on kidnapping charges in the abduction of two New York college students. But authorities Nicholas have yet to reveal a possi- Kollias ble motive for the 40-hour ordeal, during which one victim was shot in the leg. Lydell StrickAni Okeke land, Dennis Ewo Perez and Leah Gigliotti, all of Rochester; and Samantha Hughes of

Pittsford pleaded not guilty to first-degree kidnapping Tuesday in City Court. Inalia Rolldan and Ruth Lora, both of Rochester, pleaded not guilty to second-degree kidnapping. Only Strickland was assigned a public defender. The others are expected to be assigned or retain lawyers this week. Criminal complaints said Nicholas Kollias and Ani Okeke Ewo, both University of Rochester seniors from Illinois, were repeatedly beaten while forcibly restrained for more than 40 hours beginning Saturday. Kollias was shot with a rifle.

said the government plans to update its safety rating system for new cars to include whether the car has technology to avoid crashes. The five-star rating system is currently based on how well a vehicle can protect occupants from death or injury in accidents. While that will remain a big factor in the ratings, they also will take into account whether the vehicle has sensors that can detect an imminent frontal collision and apply the brakes, warn drivers of vehicles in their blind spots or that they’re drifting into another lane.

Couple practiced shooting before California attack Boston College: 80 sick SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. – after eating at Chipotle Days before killing 14 people at a holiday party, Syed Farook practiced with a rifle during one of several recent visits to a Southern California shooting range, authorities said. Sometimes he was joined by his wife, his partner in the attack. Farook visited Riverside Magnum Range on Nov. 29 and 30, said an instructor at the range about 20 miles from the Inland Regional Center, where the couple opened fire on Farook’s co-workers Dec. 2. John Galletta said nothing was out of the ordinary about Farook’s behavior, but Farook had asked a range employee why his rifle might be smoking. He was told it was most likely because it was new. Asked whether in hindsight he or others at the range should have been suspicious of Farook, Galletta said Monday: “How are you able to determine what somebody’s intents are?” The FBI said Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, had embraced violent Islamist ideology.

Government to update vehicle safety ratings

WASHINGTON – Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx

BOSTON – Boston health officials said initial tests on people who became sick after eating at a Chipotle have shown the presence of norovirus. Boston College said Tuesday that the number of students reporting gastrointestinal symptoms after eating at a Chipotle has climbed to 80, up from 30 the previous day. Members of the men’s basketball team were among those affected. Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. closed the restaurant in Boston’s Cleveland Circle on Monday and said it thinks the illnesses are the result of norovirus, not a multistate outbreak of E. coli linked to its restaurants. Boston College said all students have been tested for both E. Coli and norovirus. A city inspection report said an employee at the Chipotle in Boston was sick while working a shift Thursday.

Transparency in military justice system demanded WASHINGTON – Three U.S. senators said the military justice system’s “cloak of secrecy” needs to be lifted and records from sex crimes cases involving

service members should be made readily accessible. In a letter sent Tuesday to Defense Secretary Ashton Carter, Democrats Barbara Boxer of California, Kirsten Gillibrand of New York and Mazie Hirono of Hawaii cited an Associated Press investigation that found more inmates are in military prisons for sex crimes against children than for any other offense. Yet the public knows little about these cases. The senators said the lack of transparency in military legal proceedings “calls into question the integrity of the institution and hides the system’s shortcomings.” They urged Carter to make military trial records accessible through the same online filing system employed by civilian courts.

Justices weigh meaning of ‘one person, one vote’

WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court is treading gingerly on a question of immense importance to the nation’s growing Latino population: whether states must count all residents, or only eligible voters, in drawing electoral districts. The justices on Tuesday displayed little of the aggressiveness that often marks Supreme Court arguments as they heard a case about the meaning of the principle of “one person, one vote.” Two Texas voters are asking the court to prohibit states from basing electoral maps on total population because it inflates the voting power of urban residents and dilutes the votes of rural residents. They suggest states should base their districts on the number of eligible voters, excluding children and people who are not citizens. Civil rights groups said such a change would damage Latino political influence.

Were U.S. forces manipulated into striking hospital? The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – Two servicemen have told Congress that American special forces called in an airstrike on a hospital in Afghanistan because they believed the Taliban were using it as a command center, contradicting the military’s explanation the attack was meant for a different building. Rep. Duncan Hunter, a California Republican who serves on the House Armed Services Committee, quoted the servicemen without naming them in a letter he sent Tuesday to Defense Secretary Ash Carter. The letter highlights gaps in the military’s explanation of an October air strike on a Doctors Without Borders hospital in Kunduz that killed 31 civilians. Hunter said the accounts provided to him raise the possibility the U.S. was manipulated by its Afghan partners into attacking the hospital. If true, that would be a setback in the U.S. effort to work with and train a local force capable of securing that country. A Pentagon spokesman, Navy Capt. Jeff Davis, said the secretary had received the letter but the Defense Department would not comment. Hunter declined to identify the servicemen because he said they feared disciplinary action. The two servicemen told Hunter the U.S. special forces soldiers who called in the airstrike were not aware the Doctors Without Borders building still was being used as a hospital. Afghan forces, they said, told them it had become a Taliban command and control center. “There were enemy in there,” Hunter quotes one of the servicemen as saying.

“They had already removed and ransomed the foreign doctors, and they had fired on partnered personnel from there.” Doctors Without Borders leaders and independent witnesses insist there were no armed men in the hospital, and the military’s investigation supported that contention. The military’s official account, a summary of which was disclosed Nov. 25 by the commanding U.S. general in Afghanistan, said the soldiers and airmen intended the airstrike to hit a different building a half mile away – an Afghan intelligence facility said to be occupied by the Taliban. It was only because of technical failures and human error, Gen. John Campbell told reporters, that an AC-130 mistakenly struck and destroyed the trauma center in the Doctors Without Borders hospital. Campbell’s account didn’t address the evidence that the U.S. had been focusing on the hospital. The Associated Press has reported that military intelligence analysts had been tracking reports of Taliban activity at the hospital, including the presence of a Pakistani intelligence operative working with insurgents. Specific intelligence gathering flights over the hospital were requested by the analysts, according to records viewed by a current and a former U.S. official. The day before the attack, a senior special forces commander wrote in a report that the hospital was in Taliban hands and his objective was to clear it. A senior Pentagon official called Doctors Without Borders to ask whether their hospital had been overrun; he was told it had not.

very year for over a century, people around the country count birds. It’s called the Christmas Bird Count. Counting birds every year at the same time and in the same location gives scientists important information about birds and the environment.

PROTECT COUNT LEARN CENTURY HOLLY SKILL BIRDS STARS SCIENCE MODEL CAP CANDY GRAPH TYPE LOOK

In 2007, Tom Rusert of Sonoma Birding had the idea to include kids in this important “citizen science” effort. He launched the first Audubon Christmas Bird Count (CBC) for Kids. It was so successful that now organizations around the country are starting their own CBC for Kids programs, following Rusert’s model. To learn more about how you could start or join a CBC for Kids, visit: www.audubon.org or www.sonomabirding.com The information helps scientists protect birds and their habitat—and helps identify environmental problems. For example, changes in bird populations can tell about a threat to the environment, such as groundwater poisoning from improper use of pesticides.

The ostrich is the world’s largest living bird. It is a flightless bird and it can run to speeds of up to 40 m.p.h. An ostrich can live to be around 70 years old. Ostriches do not put their heads in sand. Sean, 4th grade Hummingbirds are my favorite birds. They can dive and dart and fly forwards, backwards, sideways and upside down. The hummingbird disappears before your eyes can follow it. The rufous hummingbird flies 2,500 miles from Alaska to Central America. Ana, 5th grade

GIRLS BASKETBALL: HUNTLEY 55, CONANT 24

Andrews scores 2,000th point OUTSIDE THE BOX SCORE UNSUNG HERO

Madeline Moffett Huntley, jr., G/F

Moffett locked down Conant’s leading scorer, Jorie Wachal, holding her scoreless in the second half and limiting her to only eight in the game. THE NUMBER

Huntley held Conant scoreless in the third quarter with suffocating team defense.

AND ANOTHER THING ...

In addition to Andrews, Paige Renkosik scored in double figures with 15 points. Kayla Barreto, Morgan Clausen and Alexis Lowitzki contributed five points each.

Senior forward finishes with 21 in blowout By MIKE DeFABO mdefabo@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – Ali Andrews stole the ball at mid-court and turned toward the hoop with nothing in front of her but open floor and history. The Huntley senior forward took two dribbles and laid the ball into the basket with her left hand with 2:11 left in the third quarter for her 2,000th and 2,001st career points. For a moment, the game between Huntley and Conant stopped as the public-address announcer

alerted the fans that Andrews had cleared yet another milestone at Huntley. “It’s really exciting, just all the hard work you put into everything you’ve done,” Andrews said. “It means a lot. All my teammates were there to support me. My coaches. I wouldn’t be able to get through without them.” Andrews added two more points to finish with 21 before she was replaced early in the fourth quarter of the Red Raiders’ dominant 55-24 victory over Conant on Tuesday. She stands at 2,003 career points after helping Huntley (9-0) remain perfect on the season. Reaching the plateau gave Huntley coach Steve Raethz a reason to reflect on Andrews’ record-breaking career at Huntley.

Warren finds balance between religion, family and coaching

sports@nwherald.com McHENRY – When Johnsburg and McHenry face each other in any sport, you are pretty much guaranteed a grind-it-out, solid showing by both teams. Tuesday night’s boys basketball game was no exception. The Skyhawks put forth a solid defensive effort and hit some big shots in the fourth quarter to defeat their rivals, 37-30, in a nonconference game at McHenry High School’s West Campus. So far this young season, the Skyhawks (3-2) are trying to adjust to a new offense they put in before the season, but the defense already is in midseason form. Johnsburg held McHenry (3-4) to only two points and no field goals in the opening quarter, and, despite shooting only 27 percent themselves, held an 8-2 lead. “What we are lacking on offense this season we are making up for it on defense,” Skyhawks coach Mike Toussaint said. “Eventually, the offense will come together and that will put us in pretty good shape.” Toussaint knew McHenry would put together some runs, and that is what the Warriors did in the second quarter. Gavin Markgraff hit a 3-pointer, and Brian O’Toole tied the score on a three-point play in the lane on the next possession. McHenry played its best ball of the night in the second quarter and held a one-point lead at intermission. After an evenly played third quarter, the Warriors were able to pull ahead, 29-25, early in the fourth quarter. That is when the Skyhawks would rely on the play of its nine seniors to get their offense going. Johnsburg regained the lead with 3:40 left on a basket by Michael Shelton.

“It’s just been an absolute phenomenal career that she’s had to this point,” Raethz said. “There’s not many players that can say they’ve scored 2,000 points in a career. I think it’s a real tribute to just her consistency as a player and what she’s brought to our program for the last four years. It’s been just absolutely immeasurable with how much better she’s made our program and our teams.” After the game, Raethz held the game ball under his arm.

n a Sunday morning in early November, men munch on dough nuts and sip coffee as they wait for the worship service to begin. It’s not long before the conversation shifts, inevitably, to the Bears game, their new coaching staff, the challenges of stopping Adrian Peterson and – of course – Jay Cutler. There is an undeniable link between faith and football. Players point to the heavens after touchdowns. Many teams join hands to recite the Lord’s Prayer before taking the field. But at the Grace Family Bible Church, this intersection is perhaps more obvious. Prairie Ridge assistant football coach Nicholas Caruso, wearing a camouflage Adrian Peterson jersey, opens the worship service by reading a short Bible passage. Jacobs assistant coach Jim Foote will read another. And then there’s Mike Warren. On Sundays, they call him Pastor Mike. But on Fridays, he’s Coach Warren to Jacobs’ ball-hawking defense. You might call him the Minister of Defense. “The defensive coordinator is usually the guy who is out there chewing tobacco, spitting fire all the time, cussing every other word,” Jacobs coach Bill Mitz said. “That’s not our guy.” Not by a long shot. •

•

Before he was a coach and before he was a pastor, Warren was a player. So perhaps it’s appropriate to start his story that way. Rewind to 1991. On the day he committed to Northwestern, Warren prayed with coach Francis Peay in his office. He actively sought out a university that had a chapter of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. The fact that Peay was a practicing Christian played a big role in his decision, as well.

SPORTS BRIEFS Warriors improve to 23-0, beat Pacers

INDIANAPOLIS – The Golden State Warriors followed the script perfectly for three quarters Tuesday night. Then things got a bit more interesting. The defending NBA champions improved to 23-0, with Klay Thompson scoring a season-high 39 points and Stephen Curry adding 29 points, seven rebounds and 10 assists in a 131-123 victory over the Indiana Pacers. Thompson scored 29 points in the first half, during which the Warriors went on a 22-0 run. Golden State led by 28 in the fourth quarter before the Pacers closed within six in the final 25 seconds. The Warriors have won 27 straight dating to last season, tying the 2012-13 Heat for the second-longest streak in NBA history. The 1971-72 Lakers hold the record with 33 wins in a row.

Police: Domestic case involving pitcher closed

MIAMI – Police said there was “insufficient evidence” to charge Cincinnati Reds closer Aroldis Chapman in a domestic disturbance incident between the pitcher and his girlfriend at his South Florida home, and they’ve closed the investigation. But the matter appears to have put on hold a proposed trade sending Chapman to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Joe Torre, MLB’s chief baseball officer, said Tuesday that there is no timetable in making a decision on Chapman’s status under the league’s new domestic violence policy. He said the league first learned of the incident late Monday. The Davie Police Department released its report on the Oct. 30 incident Tuesday. It cites conflicting stories and a lack of cooperating witnesses and says there were no physical injuries.

Interrante, Stefka combine for 25 points to lead Skyhawks By ALEX KANTECKI akantecki@shawmedia.com JOHNSBURG – After Johnsburg’s Jazza Johns secured the rebound and made the outlet pass, sophomore guard Aannah Interrante pushed the ball up court and found Lexi Altmann standing by herself in the right corner. Altmann promptly knocked down her first of two 3-pointers off the bench, giving the Skyhawks a commanding 20-point lead in the opening two minutes of the second

quarter Tuesday night in a Big Northern Conference East Division girls basketball game. Not long after, Cortland Sommerfeldt darted from one end of the court to the other on her way to the basket for a quick two points in transition. Later in the second, Johns collected her own miss and put it back for two of her nine points and game-high 10 rebounds.

Interrante led the way with 13 points, Kayla Stefka added 12 and Altmann contributed eight off the bench. “Even our bench is strong,” said Interrante, who scored 11 of her game-high 13 points in the game’s first 16 minutes. “Everyone on our team is putting in so much work, and everybody has the ability to score.” Since losing to Fremd – last year’s Class 4A state runner-up – in the championship game of the Lake Zurich

Thanksgiving Thriller Tournament, Johnsburg (8-1 overall, 2-0 BNC East) has won four straight. The Skyhawks forced the Indians (1-7, 1-1 BNC East) into 26 turnovers Tuesday as Marengo was unable to match up. Amber Proberts led the Indians with six points, while Lauren Aubry added five. Each had a 3. “Johnsburg has some athletic kids on the wings that can get out and run and finish in transition,” Indians coach Nick Rode said. “(Interrante) has the whole package in transition, so they’re tough to cover, especially with a big kid like Jazza back there blocking shots and getting rebounds.”

MANCHESTER, England – World heavyweight champion Tyson Fury was the subject of a police investigation Tuesday after the outspoken boxer’s comments about homosexuality, amid media reports he has been stripped of his IBF title. Greater Manchester Police said they have received a report of a “hate crime” regarding Fury’s comments, which were published in a newspaper interview before his victory over Wladimir Klitschko in a heavyweight title fight Nov. 28. Fury, who is fiercely religious, said that among the things that need to happen “before the devil comes home ... is homosexuality being legal in countries.” “Greater Manchester Police take every allegation of hate crime extremely seriously,” the force said, “and we will be attending the victim’s address to take a statement in due course.” – Wire reports

The next record she can chase is McHenry County’s alltime scoring record, held by Johnsburg graduate Melissa Dixon with 2,146 points. However, Andrews said she’s not concerned with that record.

jstyf@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – South Elgin made its run. Crystal Lake South needed an answer. After conceding the first 11 points of the second half, senior Zach Geske threw down an emphatic dunk. Then he proceeded to hit three third-quarter 3-pointers on the way to 30 points, but Geske’s performance wasn’t enough to stop a balanced South Elgin team in the Storm’s 64-57 win Tuesday night. After finishing the first half tied, with Geske scoring nine on 4-for-10 shooting, the Gators’ (4-3) senior took off on the offensive end. Geske was 8-of-13 shooting in the second half for his second-highest scoring total of the season after scoring 31 against Richmond-Burton. “Zach played just outstanding,” Crystal Lake South coach Matt LePage said. “He shot the ball extremely well and, when he shoots it that well, we’re a pretty good team. We’ve got to get the other guys going.” The problem was that South Elgin (4-3) always seemed to have an answer. First it was reserve guard Justin Howard hitting a trio of 3-pointers early in the second half, along with four late free throws. “On the scouting report, [Howard] wasn’t one of their top two or three guys,” LePage said. “They’re a good team and difficult to guard, and that kid made some big shots.” Then it was Central Michigan signee Matt Smith, a senior guard who somewhat quietly finished with 17 points on 7-for-10 shooting. “We just didn’t come out

“As a pastor, I’m able to have influence in places pastors don’t normally have influence. I get to be a coach inside a public school football program. I get to be a teacher in a public school system. I understand all of the restrictions that come with that. But, nevertheless, I’m there and am able to care for and administer to other teachers and players.”

coaching is to reflect what God can do in someone’s life and to change their lives and to be an influence to others,” Warren said. “I’m not there to be the next great defensive coordinator. I’m there because I want to serve and have credibility for what it is I’m truly there for. That’s to share God’s love with people.” •

Back on that Sunday morning, (Week 8 of the NFL season if you prefer to track time that way), the sun reflects off the lake, shining light into the nearly 130-year-old LaBahn Hain House that the Grace Family Bible Church rents from the Lake in the Hills parks department. Warren, wearing a light blue shirt that matches his eyes, starts the service with a prayer. “Too often we are quick to find our identity and place our hope in temporal things,” he says, “things that are fleeting: money, influence, success in the classroom, success on the sports field.” The opening prayer is meant to prepare his congregation for the next hour and a half, to recenter them. But whether it’s a conscious decision or not, the statement helps explain Warren’s perspective on life and how he constructs his own identify. He played on one of Northwestern’s most successful teams. But he doesn’t wear his Rose Bowl ring. He devotes time and energy each week to his football team. But he’s “not there to be the next Bill Belichick.” “I’m a husband and father before I’m a coach,” Warren said. “I’m a pastor before I’m a coach.” Seeing him on Sundays, it’s clear that his passion is here. He’s on a unique mission now, trying to start his own church made up almost entirely of people who never have attended church or have not attended church in many years. “The kind of growth he wants is spiritual growth,” Skolorzynski said. “Not growth in terms of numbers sitting in a pew.” About two dozen or so members meet on the first Sunday of every month. In January, they will begin meeting the first and third Sunday of every month. Pastor Mike’s hope is that, starting on Easter, they will begin meeting weekly. That’s the kind of win Mike Warren prays for on Sundays.

FIVE-DAY PLANNER

Bennett placed on injured reserve TE Housler signs; QB Blanchard added to practice squad

More online Visit ChicagoFootball.com for the latest Bears and NFL news.

By KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@chicagofootball.com The Bears placed tight end Martellus Bennett on injured reserve Tuesday and signed former Cardinals and Browns tight end Rob Housler. Bennett missed the Week 12 game against the Packers with injured ribs. He practiced in full last week, and was injured during Sunday’s loss to the 49ers. He left the game, but returned to play 60 of the 78 snaps. In 11 games this season, Bennett has led the Bears with 53 catches. He had 439 receiving yards and three touchdowns, but only eight

catches for 58 yards in his past three games. In the games he had participated in, Bennett played 94.6 percent of offensive snaps. Housler, a 6-foot-5, 250-pound fifth-year tight end had one catch in Martellus six games for the Bennett Browns last season. His best years came in 2012 and 2013 with the Cardinals. He had 45 catches for 417 yards in ’12 and 39 receptions for 454 yards and his

lone career touchdown in ’13. Zach Miller will be the No. 1 tight end going forward, and the Bears have rookie Khari Lee, but Miller was limited last week in practice and during the 49ers game with injured ribs. Bennett has one year left on his contract and is set to make $5.085 million in base salary next season. He missed time in the offseason training program because he wanted a new contract, and according to a Chicago Tribune report, was upset last month with the way he was being utilized in the red zone. The Bears also brought back quarterback Matt Blanchard to the practice squad and released Justin Worley. Blanchard, a Lake Zurich native, was with the team in 2013. Rookie offensive tackle Tayo Fabuluje has been removed from the reserve/suspended list, but the team has a roster exemption for him for the time being.

BULLS ANALYSIS

Might be time for brass to look in mirror Team needs to find right personnel for Hoiberg’s system By JOE COWLEY jcowley@suntimes.com Identifying the problem? That’s easy for the Bulls’ coaching staff and players. Fixing it? Therein lies the difficulty. After the Bulls blew what was a 16-point lead heading into the fourth quarter in Monday night’s catastrophic meltdown, Pau Gasol had no problem calling out his teammates in the wake of the 103-101 loss to Phoenix. “I wouldn’t say it’s X’s and O’s,”

the veteran big man said. “It’s a mental thing. It’s a mindset thing. It’s a heart thing. It’s a chemistry thing. I think there are different factors at play here. Like I’ve said, we’ve got to understand what’s going on here. How bad to we want this? “Because games like this and games like Charlotte, we can’t afford to lose. There’s a big difference between winning those games and losing them at the end of the season. We’re playing ourselves out of the playoffs right now. The Eastern Conference is too tight. It’s wide open, but we’ve got to go for it. We’re fighting for something, but we’ve got to change things up a bit.” Then Gasol was asked what changes need to be made. “I have no idea,” Gasol said. “You have to come out and start playing like you want it more than anything else.”

But it’s time to address the elephant in the room – or at least the pit-bull of a coach who used to spend 24/7 watching tape in the film room. Through no fault of his own, Fred Hoiberg proudly insisted in his first news conference that he was inheriting a John Paxson championship-caliber roster. The front office obviously felt it was a championship-caliber roster, making no real changes from last season except firing Tom Thibodeau. Gar Forman Here’s what could have been the huge miscalculation by Gar/Pax, however. Thibodeau brought the best out of his players.

He got Nate Robinson and D.J. Augustin paid, was the only coach who ever figured out the full potential of Luol Deng, put an MVP trophy above Derrick Rose’s fireplace, made Joakim Noah an All-Star, an MVP candidate and the Defensive Player of the Year, and developed Jimmy Butler into an All-Star. Maybe, just maybe, Hoiberg actually inherited a team that was made better by a coach that pushed players to their highest potential. On top of that, Hoiberg won’t admit it, but this is not exactly the ideal personnel for what he wants to do, especially on offense. For as athletic as Rose is, he still doesn’t push the ball up the court with the relentlessness Hoiberg wants it pushed. The outside shooting is inconsistent, the ball still stops far too often on one side of the court, and on misses, the transition defense

still is filled with miscommunication. Considering all of that, Hoiberg has done a good job getting the Bulls off to an 11-7 start, but it’s time for the front office to start looking for personnel that will aid their new coach rather than force him to jam a square peg into a round hole. That, however, also would mean that this front office would be admitting that its personal dislike for Thibodeau outweighed the importance for a title chase with this current core of players. Not an easy get, and fireable in some organizations. Hoiberg can coach. As his philosophies are hammered in on a daily basis, things will get better. Until then, however, there will be nights like Phoenix and Charlotte with this group of players. Nights where there will be more questions than answers.

Royals shortstop Ben Zobrist (left) scores past Mets catcher Travis d’Arnaud on a sacrifice fly by Eric Hosmer during the sixth inning of Game 1 of the World Series on Oct. 27 in Kansas City, Mo. Zobrist and the Cubs agreed Tuesday to a $56 million, four-year contract, a deal that caused the Cubs to trade Starlin Castro to the New York Yankees for pitcher Adam Warren.

CUBS

Zobrist in, Castro out Zobrist agrees to $56M, 4-year deal; Castro traded to Yankees By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com NASHVILLE, Tenn. – If anyone wasn’t sure this was Theo Epstein’s team before the winter meetings this week, the Cubs’ president made it clear with a pair of moves Tuesday night that sent embattled All-Star infielder Starlin Castro to the New York Yankees in a trade and landed coveted free-agent hitter Ben Zobrist with a four-year, $56 million deal. Castro, a three-time AllStar shortstop, who thrived after an August demotion and move to second, was the last remaining big-league player Epstein’s front office inherited when it took over four years ago. The Cubs aren’t done dealing, said Epstein, who still seeks a center fielder to fill free-agent Dexter Fowler’s vacancy and continues to troll the trade market for pitching depth. But Tuesday night’s moves, on the heels of signing freeagent starter John Lackey to a two-year deal, were significant in filling much of the team’s wish list, while preserving resources to stay aggressive in the pursuit of an outfielder. The Castro trade moved $38 million in salary over the next four years to the Yankees, while returning right-handed swingman Adam Warren, a first-year arbitration player, and a player to be named later. “It was an opportunity

to essentially trade Starlin for Ben Zobrist and Adam Warren,” said Epstein of the quick-succession moves that represented only one tandem set of possible deals the Cubs have tried to arrange – the trade offsetting much of Zobrist. “We couldn’t have made this free-agent signing without this trade and would not have made this trade without the free-agent signing.” Zobrist, 35, is a two-time All-Star and longtime favorite of Cubs manager Joe Maddon – his manager for nine seasons in Tampa Bay and the manager who helped turn Zobrist into a star by using the shortstop in every defensive position except catcher. The veteran of two World Series, including Kansas City’s championship this year, is the kind of disciplined, potentially top-of-the-order hitter the Cubs looked to add this winter. He’ll play primarily second base, said Epstein, who tried to acquire Zobrist in a trade last winter before the Rays traded him to the Oakland Athletics. “Ben’s a winning baseball player, and you look at his overall contribution on the field – his offense, his defense

and his baserunning – and he’s been one of the more valuable players in the game for a long time,” Epstein said. “He’s exactly the type of offensive player that we’re looking for. “I think it takes a little bit of the pressure off the center field search that we don’t necessarily need someone who’s a leadoff hitter and center fielder,” add Epstein, who suggested the Cubs could give up some offense in that search now if it meant getting an especially good fielder. Zobrist makes $12 million in 2016, which includes his $2 million signing bonus, then $16 million, $16 million and $12 million in the final three years of the deal. He also has a notrade clause through the first three years of the deal. Warren, 28, who has a fourpitch array including a fastball that reached the mid-90s, appeared in 43 games for the Yankees in 2016, including 17 starts (7-7, 3.29 ERA). “He’s an underrated pitcher,” said Epstein, who almost immediately had calls from teams wondering if he’d make Warren available. “We believe he can be a starting pitcher and a good one in the National League Central. We also think he can be extremely effective out of the bullpen. His ability to do both makes him incredibly valuable to us.” The Cubs had told Castro in recent weeks that he would not be traded this winter, in part because the trade market for him wasn’t strong. But talks with the Yankees that died early in the offseason restarted this week when the Yankees called the Cubs after the winter meetings started.

MLB winter meetings: Diamondbacks adding Miller behind Greinke NASHVILLE, Tenn. – In another dramatic move to return to the playoffs for the first time since 2011, the Arizona Diamondbacks reached an agreement Tuesday to acquire All-Star right-hander Shelby Miller from the Atlanta Braves for overall No. 1 draft pick Dansby Swanson and two other prospects.

Arizona, which finalized a $206.5 million, six-year contract with major league ERA leader Zack Greinke earlier in the day, also would send outfielder Ender Inciarte and pitching prospect Aaron Blair to the Braves. The Diamondbacks would acquire minor league left-hander Gabe Speier, a person familiar with

the deal told The Associated Press, speaking on the condition of anonymity because the trade was pending approval of medical records. Greinke is set to anchor a newlook rotation that also could include Patrick Corbin, Rubby De La Rosa and Robbie Ray. – The Associated Press

The first two months of the Blackhawks season ambled along at a leisurely pace, a game here, three days off there, a game here, another mini-break there. They opened with eight Eastern Conference opponents, and didn’t face a Central Division team for the first three weeks of the season. If you can ease into the unrelenting, punishing grind of an 82-game NHL season, the Hawks did just that. Well, the preliminaries are over, and the Hawks are in the thick of it now. This week dropped the puck on four straight division games to open a stretch of 10 games overall in 17 days. “It’s the busiest stretch we’ve got,” Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said. “Not a lot of practice time. Let’s focus and play the right way.” Two games and two wins later, the Hawks are off to a perfect start on what could be a defining stretch of the season. Dennis Rasmussen scored on his first NHL shot, Andrew Shaw and Teuvo Teravainen each had a goal and an assist, and Corey Crawford was outstanding in a 4-1 victory over the Nashville Predators in the

They won’t have to wait long for the second – the two teams meet again Thursday in Nashville. Patrick Kane’s franchise-record 23-game point streak continued with an empty-netter late in the third period. Rasmussen, called up Monday, wasted little time making an impact, redirecting a Shaw shot past Predators goaltender Pekka Rinne for a goal on his third NHL shift. He joined Panarin, Shaw, Bickell and Jonathan Toews as current Hawks who have scored in their NHL debuts. Defenseman Adam Clendening, now with the Pittsburgh Penguins, did it last season, as well. Rasmussen crashed into the glass face first to celebrate, and Shaw looked even more excited than the big

Swede. Shaw got his own goal in the second period, when he one-timed a Teravainen feed past Rinne on a power play for a 2-0 lead. David Rundblad, playing in his first game since Oct. 29, had the secondary assist. Despite being down 2-0, the Predators were dominating play, getting several grade-A chances. But Crawford repeatedly bailed out his teammates, finally surrendering a goal when Eric Nystrom capped a Predators rush with 45.3 seconds left in the second period. But Teravainen scored 14 seconds into the third period – he scored 21 seconds into the third period Sunday – with a no-look, no-hesitation shot, the kind of aggressive play the Hawks have been looking for from the second-year player. The Hawks entered Tuesday’s game mired in a fiveteam cluster fighting for (likely) four playoff spots behind the league-leading Dallas Stars, just behind the Predators and just ahead of the Winnipeg Jets, the two teams they’re facing twice this week. Every game counts, but division games carry far more weight, particularly in the league’s toughest division. “There’s still a lot to be sorted out,” Quenneville said. “It’s a long year, there’s going to be a lot of shifting going on. But we know the importance of these games – each game’s a four-point game. … Obviously, the eight points that are available (this week) could make a big impact at the end of the year.”

Montador family sues NHL By MARK LAZERUS mlazerus@suntimes.com The family of former Blackhawks defenseman Steve Montador filed a lawsuit Monday against the NHL, claiming the league failed to protect and properly educate Montador on the long-term effects of repeated head trauma, which led to Montador’s depression, substance abuse and eventual death in February at the age of 35. The suit claims Montador experienced significant memory loss, sleep loss, pain and behavioral changes as a result of the chronic traumatic encephalopathy that developed after 69 fights, 15 concussions and “thousands of sub-concussive brain traumas” during his 571-game NHL career. The lawsuit claims Montador suffered four concussions in a three-month period during his one season with the Blackhawks in 2012, his final season in the NHL. After briefly returning to Hawks practices in March of 2013, Montador spoke candidly about his depression, which he called a physical symptom of his concussions. He went on to play 14 games for the Rockford IceHogs of the American Hockey League, then played 11 games in Russia the next season before retiring. He died Feb. 15 of this year.

It’s the latest lawsuit against the league alleging it put players at risk by cultivating and promoting a culture of violence and risk. More than 100 former players have joined forces to file a similar suit. NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly declined to comment on the Montador lawsuit, and the Hawks deferred to the league. “No, we don’t have any response,” Daly said through a Steve league spokesMontador man. “We will stand by our previous comments on the same substance.” While in Chicago during the Western Conference final last spring, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman dismissed the idea that hockey leads to CTE. “From a medical science standpoint, there is no evidence yet that one necessarily leads to the other,” Bettman said, drawing sharp criticism from much of the hockey world. “I know there are a lot of theories, but if you ask people who study it, they tell you there is no statistical correlation that can definitively make that conclusion.”

The lawsuit disagrees, saying the league knows full well the long-term effects of repeated head trauma through on-ice checks and fights, yet vigorously promoted both, essentially putting profits and entertainment ahead of player safety. “The League knew, or should have known, that [Montador] would understand the NHL’s silence as affirmation that he not only could, but should, play in a violent manner and continue to play after a head injury, and that doing so posed no danger to his long-term brain health,” the lawsuit said. “The League induced him into continuing to play, and fight, in NHL games and practices.” The lawsuit said the league “owed a duty” to Montador “to keep him reasonably safe during his career, and to provide him with the most upto-date medical information on all issues, including the increased risk of long-term brain damage.” It also said “the NHL has long known that its players were susceptible to developing CTE and other neurodegenerative brain diseases as a result of the fist-fighting it allowed and promoted, the hard hits it encouraged and marketed, and/ or the blows to the head that it steadfastly refused to eliminate from its game.”

STEWART ON ‘DAILY SHOW’ TO PUSH 9/11 HEALTH ACT

Wednesday, December 9, 2015 • Section C • Page 6

NEW YORK – Comedian Jon Stewart returned to “The Daily Show” where he made a push to renew a law that provides health benefits for first responders who became ill after the Sept. 11 terror attacks. Stewart was a guest on “The Daily Show With Trevor Noah” on Monday night. Stewart urged, badgered and exhorted Congress, especially Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, to pass the Zadroga Act. The law expired last month but has enough funding to last another year. Proponents of the law are seeking its permanent extension, but some Republicans have opposed that, saying they want a chance to periodically review it and make sure it’s operating soundly.

Broadway hit ‘Hamilton’ to launch company in Chicago

Bears quarterback Jay Cutler (left) and his wife, Kristin Cavallari, watch the Cubs play the White Sox during a baseball game July 2, 2011, in Chicago. Utah authorities said Cutler’s brother-in-law has been missing for more than a week after his abandoned car was found running on a remote dirt road with the air bag deployed.

Utah search resumes for Jay Cutler’s brother-in-law SALT LAKE CITY – As the search resumes for NFL quarterback Jay Cutler’s brother-in-law, investigators are examining whether one factor in the 30-year-old’s disappearance was his recent arrest on allegations that he acted threateningly toward a woman and had a gun. Michael Cavallari’s car was found abandoned 12 days ago in southern Utah. On Tuesday, a team of 30 officers, along with search dogs and drones, fanned out in the desolate area about 200 miles south of Salt Lake City looking for him, Grand County Sheriff Steven White said. Cavallari is the brother of reality TV personality Kristin Cavallari. Investigators still don’t know where he was headed or what he was doing in Utah. But they’re considering all possibilities, including that he doesn’t want to be found, White said. That’s on their radar because Michael Cavallari was arrested in Southern California on an allegation of making threats four days before his 2014 Honda Civic was found in Utah. He bailed out of jail Nov. 25. Two days later, a rancher discovered the car stuck against a small embankment off a dirt road about 5 miles from Interstate 70. It was running, and the air bag was deployed. Michael Cavallari hasn’t been heard from since.

NEW YORK – The mega-hit Broadway show “Hamilton” is on the move – a production will open in Chicago next September. Producers said Tuesday that performances will begin Sept. 27 at the newly named The PrivateBank Theatre. Written by Lin-Manuel Miranda, the musical tells the true story of an orphan immigrant from the Caribbean who rises to the highest ranks of American society, told by a young African-American and Latino cast. It’s got a terrifically varied score, ranging from pop ballads to sexy R&B to rap battles, with lyrical nods to Gilbert and Sullivan, Jason Robert Brown, “South Pacific” and the Notorious B.I.G.

B.B. King’s Mississippi gravesite getting memorial courtyard

JACKSON, Miss. – Nearly seven months after blues legend B.B. King died, his Mississippi gravesite is being turned into a serene spot where fans can pay their respects. A black granite marker will be unveiled at a ceremony Friday outside the B.B. King Museum and Delta Interpretive Center in Indianola. The marker will become the centerpiece of a memorial courtyard. The courtyard, with benches, eventually will be surrounded by walls that alternate between solid panels engraved with song titles and wooden slats that allow breezes to pass through the space. King was 89 when he died May 14 at his home in Las Vegas. He was buried two weeks later at the museum in Indianola, the hometown where he continued to play annual concerts until a year before his death.

Los Angeles judge finalizes Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas’ divorce

LOS ANGELES – Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas’ marriage is officially over. A Los Angeles judge finalized the actors’ divorce Friday and the judgment was released Tuesday. Griffith filed for divorce in June 2014 after 18 years of marriage. They first worked together on the set of the 1995 romantic comedy “Two Much.” Banderas later directed his wife in the 1999 film “Crazy in Alabama.” They have a 19-year-old daughter together. The pair’s divorce judgment divides the actors’ interests in several films, including several movies in the “Shrek” franchise. Banderas has served as the voice of the animated character Puss in Boots in the “Shrek” films. Griffith has recently turned to television work, guest-starring in “Hawaii Five-0” and “Raising Hope.” The judgment was first reported by celebrity website TMZ.

ABC stepping up with a new version of ‘Dirty Dancing’

This time, actress-singer Abigail Breslin will play the lead role of Baby. No other cast members were announced, nor did ABC specify an air date for the film. “Dirty Dancing” tells the song-and-dance story of a young woman in the early 1960s who vacations with her parents in the Catskill Mountains and falls for the resort’s working-class dance instructor, who in the original film was played by Patrick Swayze.

Global

flavors Variations on traditional latkes take influence from other cultures

By ALISON LADMAN • The Associated Press

round Hanukkah, we usually spend a lot of time thinking up new things to top our latkes with. After all, the potato pancakes themselves are pretty simple. Shred some potatoes, bind them into patties, then fry until golden and crisp. Now bring on the sour cream and apple sauce and smoked salmon and anything else you can dream up (caviar is awfully nice!). But this year we decided to come at it from the other side. We created delicious latkes that build their flavor from the inside out. All we had to do was look to other cultures for inspiration. And so we have Greek-inspired latkes studded with shredded zucchini and chunks of feta cheese. And we have Indian sweet potato latkes spiked with a hit of curry powder. And for an ultimate doughnut-like decadence, we created cinnamon-sugar latkes, too. All of these variations are built from our excellent classic latke recipe (right), which does a great job drying the shredded potatoes (the key for crisping when fried).

Cinnamon Sugar Latkes

Zesty Zucchini and Feta Latkes

Curried Sweet Potato Latkes

Leave out the onion. Stir 1 teaspoon of cinnamon into the matzo meal. Once the latkes are fried, let drain for 1 minute, then dredge in cinnamon-sugar. Serve with apple sauce or cranberry sauce.

Shred 1 medium zucchini and squeeze along with the potatoes and onions. Stir in 1 to 2 teaspoons hot sauce (or to taste) and 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese with the egg when mixing together.

Use 2 pounds sweet potatoes in place of the Russet potatoes. Stir 1 to 2 teaspoons of curry powder into the matzo meal mixture.

Classic Latkes

Start to finish: 45 minutes Makes 12 latkes 2 pounds Russet potatoes 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped 2 teaspoons kosher salt 1 tablespoon potato starch 1/2 cup matzo meal Peanut or grapeseed oil, for frying 2 eggs, beaten Applesauce or sour cream, to serve Using a food processor fitted with the shredding disc, grate the potatoes. Alternatively, you can use the large holes of a box grater, but the food processor makes for a better textured, more even shred. Working in batches, spread some of the grated potatoes and chopped onion evenly over a clean kitchen towel. Roll the towel up like a jelly roll and, holding it over a sink or bowl, twist to squeeze out as much moisture as possible. Unroll the towel and transfer to a medium bowl. Repeat with remaining potatoes and onion. Set aside. In a small bowl, combine the salt, potato starch and matzo meal. Whisk

or stir to ensure there are no lumps of potato starch. Set aside. In a large, deep skillet, heat 1/3 inch of oil to 350 degrees F. While the oil is heating, set a cooling rack over a rimmed baking sheet. This is where your latkes will drain, so have it near your pan. Though latkes are best eaten right away, you can hold your latkes in a 200 degrees F. oven for up to 1 hour. If that is necessary, turn your oven on at this point. When the oil is hot, combine the potato-onion mixture with the matzo-potato starch mixture and the eggs. Form into twelve 3-inch patties, and fry in batches of 3 to 4, for 3 to 4 minutes a side, or until deep golden brown and crispy. Transfer to the cooling rack and repeat with the remaining potato mixture. Serve immediately with applesauce or sour cream.

Latkes topped with chipotle sour cream are spicier appetizer By KATIE WORKMAN The Associated Press At Hanukkah, I like the lighting of the candles. I love giving people the perfect gift. But what we all probably love most are the latkes, or potato pancakes. Traditionally, they are served with sour cream and/or applesauce, so people can choose or have a little of each. Some people have strong opinions about the applesauce vs. sour cream situation. But I like to mix things up every once in a while, and this year that is manifesting itself in the form of a dab of chipotle sour cream atop our latkes. By the way, you don’t have to be Jewish or actually celebrate Hanukkah to love latkes. These crispy little potato pancakes make a wonderful appetizer or a great side dish all year long.

Latkes With Chipotle Sour Cream Start to finish: 30 minutes Servings: 4

2½ pounds Russet potatoes, peeled 2 large eggs 1/2 cup minced yellow onion 1 tablespoon matzo meal or all-purpose flour (optional) Kosher salt and ground black pepper Olive oil, for cooking (about 1/2 cup) 3 tablespoons butter (optional, but recommended) 1/2 cup sour cream 1 chipotle in adobo sauce, puréed or finely minced 1/2 teaspoon lime juice Heat the oven to 200 degrees F. Using the shredding disc of a food processor or a handheld grater, grate the potatoes on the large-holed blade or side. Place the grated potatoes in a large bowl, and let them sit while they release their liquid, about 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, in another large bowl, mix the eggs and minced onion. With your hands, grab a handful of the grated potato and squeeze over the bowl to get out as much liquid as possible. Transfer the squeezed potatoes into the bowl with the eggs. Repeat with remaining potatoes. Insert your finger into the liquid left in the potato bowl. You’ll feel a firm layer of potato starch at the bottom. Carefully pour off the liquid from the top, then scrape up the starch from the bottom of the bowl and mix it into the egg and potato mixture. This natural starch helps bind together the potatoes. If there is only 1 to 2 tablespoons of starch, you’ll also want to blend in the optional matzo meal or flour. Generously season with salt and pepper. In a large skillet (or use 2 large skillets to speed up the process), heat a couple of tablespoons of the olive oil and a teaspoon or so of butter until the butter has melted and the fat is hot. Swirl the pan, and then add the potato mixture by

the spoonful (large or small, as desired). Gently press the mounds into rounds. Cook until golden brown and crisp, 4 to 5 minutes per side. You’ll need to keep a close eye on the heat. Too low and they won’t brown properly; too high and the oil will smoke. Transfer the latkes to paper towels to drain, then transfer to an oven-safe serving platter. Set the platter in the oven to keep warm, then repeat the process with the remaining latkes, adding oil and butter as needed. Between batches, you also may want to wipe out the pan to remove any bits of latke or if the oil is getting dark. The potatoes will continue to release liquid as they sit. As you get to the bottom of the bowl, just give the potato mixture a quick squeeze before putting it in the hot pan to avoid splattering. While the latkes are cooking, in a small bowl blend together the sour cream, chipotles, lime juice and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Serve the chipotle sour cream with the warm latkes.

Master cookie swaps with easy no-bakes No-Bake Haystack Cookies

By KATIE WORKMAN The Associated Press As the holidays draw near, I feel like I have two sticks of butter softening on my counter at all times, and I’m always on the verge of heating my oven to 350 degrees F. to bake cookies. But it’s also this time of year that the oven tends to be in high demand, perhaps put to work to roast a squash or a big piece of meat. But you know, even if the oven is occupied, we still need to have cookies. So in between making the kinds of cookies that get rolled and baked and decorated, we can – and should – find time for a batch of haystack cookies. Haystacks are one of the quintessential no-bake cookies in the lexicon of treats, and for very good reason. They are delicious. They are easy. They offer up such great crunch. You could try these with semisweet chocolate chips for another flavor twist, and you also could use lightly crushed cocktail peanuts instead of the pretzels. To crush pretzels, place them in a sturdy zip-close plastic bag, press out the air, seal it, and give it a few smacks with your fist. Don’t crush them into a powder; you want some pieces and texture. These treats would be right at home as part of any platter of holiday cookies. A clever cook might bring them to a cookie swap and leave with a selection of more labor intensive treats in exchange for some of these ridiculously simple, but highly addictive cookies.

Start to finish: 1 hour (10 minutes active) Makes 20 cookies

12-ounce bag (2 cups) semisweet chocolate chips 3 tablespoons peanut butter, smooth or crunchy 6-ounce package chow mein noodles (about 3½ cups) 1 cup lightly crushed thin pretzels Line 2 baking sheets with kitchen parchment or waxed paper. In a small saucepan over medium-low, heat about 1 inch of water until barely simmering. Remove the pan from the heat and set a large heat-safe bowl over it. Add the chocolate chips and stir until melted. Alternatively, place the chocolate chips in a large microwave-safe bowl and melt in the microwave on medium power, stopping the microwave and giving the chips a stir every 15 seconds, until they are melted. Remove the bowl of melted chocolate from the heat and stir in the peanut butter until well combined. Add the noodles and the pretzels to the chocolate mixture and stir to combine. Drop the mixture by heaping tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheet. Allow to set until firm, about 30 minutes. In warmer months this is best done in the refrigerator, but let them sit at room temperature for several minutes before serving.

Peanut Butter-Chocolate Chip Cookies AP photo

Healthy PB cookies use chickpeas By MELISSA D’ARABIAN The Associated Press My four daughters all inherited the love for sugary treats my husband and I share. So to try to keep things in balance, I gravitate to treat recipes that are lower in sugar and add a bit of protein and fiber to level out all those sugar rushes. These peanut butterchocolate chip cookies are a great example. They have only a few grams of sugar per cookie, as well as a little boost of protein thanks to an ingredient that is becoming surprisingly trendy in desserts: chickpeas. Yes, you read right. Chickpeas are a hot item in sweets, due at least in part to their ability to be used instead of flour in baked goods, making both chickpeas and chickpea flour staples in the gluten-free baker’s pantry. Using chickpeas as a main

ingredient in baked goods does boost the nutrition profile. A cup of them will add 15 grams of protein and 12 grams of fiber to your recipe, while adding just a tiny bit of sugar (8 grams) and fat (4 grams) per cup. But chickpeas can be tricky to bake with. They are dense and heavy, and they can impart a bean-y flavor. The dense texture works best in foods that already have a dense or fudgy feel, like cookies or brownies. Also use chickpea flour for muffins or pancakes. And to combat the slight bean taste, use it in recipes that include nuts or other ingredients with strong flavors. Things like almond extract, peanut butter, dark chocolate, vanilla, orange zest and cinnamon will help turn the “bean” flavor into “nutty.” Which makes these peanut butter-chocolate chip cookies an excellent candidate for

chickpea baking fun. I add a little bit of all-purpose flour just to make the cookies more cakey, but feel free to use almond meal or another glutenfree flour if you want to stay gluten-free, or omit the flour for super fudgy results.

Peanut Butter-Chocolate Chip Cookies Start to finish: 25 minutes Makes 36 cookies

15-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed well 2 tablespoons coconut milk (or other milk) 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1/4 cup turbinado sugar 1/2 cup chunky peanut butter 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, almond meal or gluten-free flour substitute 1/4 cup mini-chocolate chips Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with kitchen

parchment. In a food processor, combine the chickpeas and milk. Process until smooth, scraping the bowl as needed, about 1 minute. Add all of the remaining ingredients except the chocolate chips and pulse together until well mixed. Once the dough is done (it will be sticky), scrape it out into a bowl, then mix in the chocolate chips with your hands. Use a tablespoon to scoop out 1-inch balls. Roll the balls between your palms, then arrange them on the prepared baking sheet and gently press to flatten slightly. Bake until the edges turn golden, about 14 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before transferring the cookies to a rack to cool completely.

Dumplings embrace oil and cheese at Hanukkah The Associated Press Many of the signature dishes of Hanukkah involve either cheese or frying in oil. Because I like to have it all, I created these fried sweet cheese and almond dumplings – a luscious dessert – featuring both ingredients. Happily, they are easy to make, requiring no special equipment other than a deep fat thermometer. Basically, these are blintzes in wonton wrappers. The filling consists of ricotta, cream cheese, eggs, sugar and spritzes of lemon and vanilla, all combined with almond paste. Shaping the wrappers into triangles is the only time-consuming part of this recipe. You want to be sure to seal the edges of each triangle tightly so that the

filling doesn’t spill out into the hot oil. As always with deepfrying, be sure your pan is deep and filled with no more than 2 inches of oil, and that the temperature is maintained at 325 degrees F. Also, don’t crowd the pan with too many wontons at once; it’ll make the temperature dip and you’ll end up with soggy triangles.

In a small bowl, use a fork to mash the raspberries, then stir in 1 to 2 teaspoons of the sugar, or to taste. Set aside. In a medium bowl, use a fork to mash the almond paste. Add half the cream cheese and mash until fairly smooth. Add the remaining

cream cheese, the ricotta, remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar, the egg yolk, lemon zest, vanilla and salt, then mix well (there still will be small lumps of almond paste left in the mixture). In a small bowl, use a fork to beat the egg white. Line a baking sheet with kitchen parchment and sprinkle with cornstarch. On a cutting board or work surface, arrange several wonton wrappers. Mound 2 level teaspoons of the filling in the middle of each wrapper, then use a pastry brush dipped in the egg white to moisten the edges of the wrappers. Fold one of the corners of each wrapper over the filling until it meets the opposing corner and forms a filled triangle. Press the edges together to form a tight seal, then gently transfer the filled wrappers to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with

ADVICE 3

Husband’s sexual assaults Quitting smoking is worth can no longer be ignored gaining a few extra pounds Dear Abby: I have been with my husband for almost 14 years. I’m a sound sleeper, and I suspect he has been having sex with me while I’m sleeping. I have woken up without clothes on, my undergarments askew or the waistband “rolled on.” I called him on it and told him I knew and I’m not OK with it. Weeks later, I caught him red-handed. This time I was awake, but I was so frightened I froze. I was sexually abused as a child and raped as an adult, and now I feel as if my marriage has been turned upside down. My husband denies it. He claims it’s all in my head. My friends say for the sake of my children I should ignore it or I’ll turn their lives upside down. Abby, everyone thinks my husband is a catch. I’m sure if I walk away I’ll lose friends – maybe even some of my family. Please help me. I feel lost. – Turned Upside Down In Illinois Dear Turned Upside Down:

Your friends are wrong, and you should not “ignore” this. Sex without a person’s consent is rape. When a husband does what you have described, it is called spousal rape.

I have told Rob how much his mentioning it upsets me, and I have asked him not to do it, especially during my pregnancy. I want to feel happy and special as the woman who will be providing Rob with an actual family unit. But instead I feel like second-best and resentful. This should be a time to focus on us and our new baby, not the child who isn’t in his life or that woman and her stupid actions. Please advise me. – Soon-To-Be

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips Because he claims this is “all in your head,” for your own sanity, make an appointment to discuss this with a licensed psychotherapist. With your unfortunate history, you should have spoken with someone already. Your husband either is grossly insensitive or derives pleasure from being a predator. His behavior is appalling, and you do not have to stand for it. Counseling can help you decide whether to remain in this marriage. Regardless of what your ultimate decision might be, it will help you be emotionally resilient enough to live with your choice regardless of what your “friends” and family members may think. Dear Abby: My fiancé, “Rob,” and I are pregnant. This should be an exciting time for me, but he keeps bringing up a previous relationship during which he had an unplanned child. That was 10 years ago, and the mother denied him access.

Dear Dr. K: I want to quit smoking, but I’m worried about gaining weight. Is it possible to quit smoking without packing on the pounds? Dear Reader: Smokers do tend to gain some weight when they quit. Why? Nicotine reduces appetite and revs up metabolism (the rate at which the body burns food). Breaking free of nicotine allows appetite to come back and also slows metabolism. In addition, many people substitute food for cigarettes when they quit. By definition, an unhealthy weight is not good for your health. But quitting smoking is good for a person’s health. So the question is: How do the health benefits of quitting smoking compare to the health risks of gaining weight after quitting? Based on studies of hundreds of thousands of people, that question has been answered: Weight gained from quitting smoking does not pose nearly as serious a threat to health as smoking does. Quitting smoking, for example, lowers your risk of heart disease, stroke and other blood vessel disease despite any subsequent weight gain. The same reduction in risk holds true for people

Mom In Denver Dear Mom: You are special

and you are the person who is creating a new family with Rob, but your pregnancy might be a painful reminder of the child he “lost.” He might be afraid the same thing could happen again and need all the reassurance you can give him it won’t. Because his bringing up the past relationship is hurtful, suggest he talk with a licensed mental health professional about it. Sometimes the best way to stop grieving is to talk about it. • Write Dear Abby at www.

dearabby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff with diabetes. That’s surprising, given gaining weight can worsen diabetes, which increases the risk for cardiovascular disease on its own. Of course, your risk of heart disease and stroke is reduced even more if you quit smoking and don’t gain weight. But the point is you still benefit from quitting, even if you gain weight. On average, people gain about five to 10 pounds in the six months after they quit smoking. But what happens over the 10 years after that? To answer this question, researchers at the Penn State College of Medicine used data from the long-running National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. They looked at the amount of weight gained over 10 years. Smokers who quit gained an average of 18 pounds over 10 years. Smokers who continued to smoke also gained weight over the long term – an average of eight pounds over 10 years. So, over 10 years, the quitters gained 10 more pounds than those who

continued to smoke. In other words, most of the weight gain in quitters occurred in the first year. And even those who continued to smoke gained weight. If you’re a smoker and want to quit, you might want to have a plan to keep potential weight gain in check. For example: • Start to exercise before you quit smoking. Walking is a great way to stay active, lose weight and distract your mind from cigarette cravings. • If you are overweight already, change your diet now to eat healthier and cut down on total daily calories. • Carry a water bottle with you and take a sip when you feel hungry or have the urge to smoke. • Pack healthy, low-calorie snacks that will satisfy the oral urge to smoke or snack. Baby carrots, celery sticks and grapes are good choices. In sum, the benefits of quitting smoking outweigh the risks of gaining weight after quitting. Don’t let a fear of weight gain stop you from quitting. • Write to Dr. Komaroff at www.askdoctork.com or Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

Young mother seeks advice on how to be an effective parent Dr. Wallace: I have been reading your column since I was 13. I am now 23 and the mother of two daughters, ages 3 and 1. I always respected your support of the teens who wrote to you. Now I hope you will respond to a parent. I wish very much to raise my children to be good citizens who are able to resist temptation to avoid unacceptable behavior, including drug and alcohol use. Please tell me what you would consider the three most important things my husband and I can do to raise children who are God-fearing, country-loving model citizens who will respect every living creature. – Mom, Rock Island

the hard stuff, but he sure enjoys his beer. I don’t mind if he has a couple of beers while watching a football game on the weekend, but I do object to his drinking a six-pack in his apartment after we’ve gone out for dinner. He also has been putting on a lot of extra pounds lately. He now is sporting a noticeable beer belly. Are there any clear-cut danger signs in his behavior that indicate alcoholism? –

children are saying, and be ready to listen when they’re willing to talk. 3. Hug your children daily and tell them you love them. 4. Provide them with spiritual guidance. 5. Make raising your children your life’s highest priority. Dr. Wallace: My boyfriend, who is 21 (I’m 19), has what I would call a drinking problem. He admits he drinks a lot but says he never gets drunk, which is true. He also says he is not addicted to alcohol and can quit drinking at any time. When I encourage him to stop, he says he’ll stop when he’s ready. He rarely drinks

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Dr. Robert Wallace Mom: What you ask is so important I couldn’t stop at three. Here are five things mothers and fathers can do to be effective parents: 1. Lead by example. Children are very observant. The lives you and your husband lead will influence your children more than any advice or instruction you give them. 2. Be good listeners. Most of us talk too much and listen too little. Be extremely attentive to what your

Ashley, Columbus, Ohio Ashley: If he habitually

puts away a six-pack after he has dinner with you, then yes, he has a problem. Indeed, one indication of a drinking problem is a

person’s refusal to curtail his intake even though loved ones have begun to suffer from it. Almost every hard drinker says he can stop whenever he wants to, but “whenever” never arrives. It sounds to me as if it’s time to give your boyfriend an ultimatum: If “whenever” doesn’t arrive immediately, the relationship is over, never to return. Dr. Wallace: I appreciated your column telling children of all ages to wear a certified helmet when they ride a bicycle. But you should have mentioned parents also should wear helmets. I often have seen families

riding by our house, and the parents are not wearing helmets. Aren’t they the most important people in their children’s lives? – Estelle,

Memphis, Tennessee Estelle: Thanks for

noticing my oversight. Parents are indeed the most important people in their children’s lives and they, too, should wear a properly fitting, certified helmet. They must protect themselves from injury because they are the most important people in the lives of their children, and they also need to set a good example.

The applicants seek to achieve economies of scale through the operation of Centegra Hospital-Huntley as a provider-based campus of Centegra Hospital-McHenry and to realize attendant financial savings relative to the initiation of services at Centegra Hospital-Huntley that are available to provider-based campuses but not to freestanding hospital facilities.” This exemption application for a change of ownership was declared complete on November 24, 2015. Written requests for public hearing must be received by the Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board no later than December 9, 2015. Request for a public hearing must be sent by letter to the administrator at the address below. No emails or faxes will be accepted.
