Ex-reporter turns Chapman saves into domestic violence awareness One of my favorite things about this job is the chance to work with some extremely bright, young people who shatter false perceptions about the negative stereotypes of millennials.

Caitlin Swieca, a reporter who covered sports and news for the Northwest Herald, is certainly one of them. Besides work, Caitlin and I liked to talk baseball. While she is as passionate of a Cubs fan as I’ve met and I’m White Sox fan, I love talking baseball with real fans.

And frankly, I haven’t had much to say about my Sox. As a die-hard, Swieca, who attended a few World Series games at Wrigley Field, is no meathead fan. While she can be as irrationally paranoid as any Cubs fan, she also is thoughtful and intelligent in all things. So when her team signed closer Aroldis Chapman, whose troubling past has been well-documented, Swieca was upset.

Not upset enough to turn away from her team. That’s not terribly rational. These athletes we put on pedestals are just human beings, and like human beings everywhere, some are better than others. The key difference in Chapman is his ability to throw a baseball 105 mph.

As a knowledgeable fan, Swieca, who had just ended her employment here, probably knew that one of baseball’s top closers was one piece that made it more likely that her Cubs could win a title. But an incident that cost Chapman a suspension after he allegedly choked his girlfriend and fired several shots

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK Kevin Lyons from a gun did not sit well with her. Chapman did apologize and denied harming the woman.

Legitimately conflicted, Swieca found an amazing way to square her fandom with her concern for domestic violence victims. And it started with a simple tweet. Swieca, a young woman early in her career as opposed to a $100 million pitcher, announced that she’d donate $10 for every Chapman save to her native Chicago’s Domestic Violence Legal Clinic.

As explained in a recent Sports Illustrated story, Swieca’s original intentions were retweeted nearly 400 times and liked 1,034 times. What began as $10 donations from one thoughtful young woman turned into a movement, #pitchin4dv, that has raised more than $20,000.

Swieca has since been featured by nearly all Chicago media outlets, The New York Times and many others.

While I had to file this column before knowing the outcome of Game 6, I do know who one big winner has been this season. And she didn’t even need an at-bat.

POPE RULES OUT WOMEN’S ORDINATION FOREVER

VATICAN CITY – Pope Francis has ruled out women’s ordination, saying the “last word” on the question was delivered by St. John Paul II and that no changes are foreseen.

Francis was asked en route home Tuesday from Sweden, where the Lutheran church is headed by a woman, if the Catholic Church might ordain women priests.

Francis said: “The last word was clear and was given by St. John Paul II and this remains. This remains.”

John Paul ruled out female ordination in his 1994 apostolic letter “Priestly Ordination.” In the document, John Paul declared that “the Church has no authority whatsoever to confer priestly ordination on women and that this judgment is to be definitively held by all the Church’s faithful.”

Dan Zambrano, an installation technician, works on a truck Monday at Henderson Products in Huntley. The truck manufacturing company relocated from Gilberts to Huntley in June.

Henderson Products expands snow, ice control equipment factory to Huntley

By HANNAH PROKOP hprokop@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – At Henderson Products in Huntley, 14 shop floor workers make up two assembly lines that turn a truck cab, wheels and frame into a snowplow.

The snow and ice control equipment manufactured at the installation and distribution factory, at 11921 Smith Drive, is taken for granted sometimes, regional installation manager Chad Barker said.

“They’re really important,” Bark-

er said. “You almost kind of take it for granted these days that your roads are going to be clean, and there’s a huge industry behind that that keeps it going.”

The business celebrated its grand opening Oct. 20, Barker said. It moved in June from its location in Gilberts after outgrowing it, he said.

“We’re thrilled they chose Huntley,” Huntley Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Sunday Graham said. “The investment, the employment, all of the benefits it brings to the local area, so we’re really excited about it.”

At about 28,000 square feet, the Huntley facility is more than three times larger than the one in Gilberts. Henderson Products, based in Manchester, Iowa, has five other installation and distribution facilities in Iowa, New Jersey, New York, Ohio and Missouri.

There are 22 employees at the Huntley factory, and that number is expected to keep growing, Barker said. Eventually, the business also expects to add two more assembly lines, he said, and sitting on about 7 acres of land leaves room for expansion.

“We’ve made a commitment here – I

don’t see us going anywhere,” Barker said.

About two to three trucks are made in the Huntley facility a week, Barker said, and the majority of the clients in Huntley are local municipalities. Friday afternoon, trucks were being worked on for the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority and Winnebago County.

The final product can cost anywhere between $150,000 to $200,000 and take an average of 15 days to complete, depending on the complexity, Barker said. One

County Board OKs maintenance plan for some nondedicated roads

By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – The McHenry County Board approved a plan for plowing and maintenance of some of the county’s nondedicated roads.

Board members voted Tuesday – 21-1, with one abstention – to approve agreements with four township highway departments, at the rate of $7,000 a mile, to maintain nondedicated roads whose residents have signed up to eventually be included in county or township road networks. The agreements, totaling $158,974, are a measure aimed at following up on a County Board vote in August to create a program to do so.

Nondedicated roads, some of which date back a century or more, are private roads that do not fall under any government’s responsibility to maintain them, meaning that residents who pay property and motor fuel taxes for road maintenance do not see any benefit. A coalition of residents has fought for eight years to get some sort of resolution from the county or their respective townships.

The sole opposing vote Tuesday came from Transportation Committee Chairwoman Anna May Miller, R-Cary, who said that the county should have waited until all lane miles of nondedicated roads are included, not just the ones that signed on.

“From my perspective, it’s all or nothing,” Miller said.

The county’s nondedicated roads, which total about 51.8 lane miles, can be found in Algonquin, McHenry, Dorr and Nunda townships. Miller, who is secretary of the Algonquin Township Highway Department, is married to township Highway Commissioner Robert Miller. Board member Michael Rein, R-Woodstock, abstained from Tuesday’s vote because he owns a rental property along one of the roads.

County Board members voted in August to allocate slightly more than $8 million over five years to repair nondedicated roads and bring them up to a standard that would allow for their integration into road networks – therefore, routine maintenance. A subsequent survey found that residents along 23 lane miles were interested.

Miller alleged that some residents along nondedicated roads never were surveyed by the county, and they now want in. But several members, such as two of Miller’s fellow representatives from her district, reminded the board that the door is open

How they voted The McHenry County Board voted Tuesday, 21-1 with one abstention, to allocate $158,974 to pay townships for winter maintenance on about 23 miles of nondedicated roads.

Board member Anna May Miller, R-Cary, cast the sole opposing vote. Michael Rein, R-Woodstock, abstained because owns a rental property along one of the roads. Board member Carolyn Schofield, R-Crystal Lake, was absent. to any residents who wish to join later.

“These people still support the program, knowing their turn will come,” said board Vice Chairwoman Yvonne Barnes, R-Cary.

Member Andrew Gasser, R-Fox River Grove, said the vote was a matter of inclusion for people who have been fighting for years to get some sort of relief.

However, the county has some work to do to legally maintain and eventually fix the roads, according to a confidential McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office opinion that the County Board made public Tuesday. The Oct. 3 opinion concludes that the county can maintain any nondedicated road it does not own, provided it can be proved that the road falls under the state’s definition of what is called prescriptive easement, meaning that at least 15 years of public use grants the county the right to maintain it.

The opinion concludes that the county Division of Transportation should gather information and determine which roads qualify, after which the state’s attorney’s office can draft an intergovernmental agreement with the respective townships for maintenance and get approval from the Illinois Department of Transportation.

The county must first acquire ownership of roads that cannot be ruled public under prescriptive easement, the opinion stated.

District 15 builds STEM labs, Innovation Centers for students

By NATE LINHART nlinhart@shawmedia.com McHENRY – Legos are typically seen as a fun toy, but they also can be used for serious, engineering-related projects, a McHenry School District 15 official said.

That’s why District 15 is letting its students work on projects using Lego Education kits and software.

“Through a grant, District 15 recently purchased Lego Education products, which let our students engage in hands-on learning activities and create innovative projects together,” said Fred Laudadio, District 15 executive director of learning services and technology.

By adding the Lego Education products, the district is preparing children for real-world experiences while allowing them to show off their creativity.

“It’s additions like this that make District 15 so unique,” Laudadio said.

And these Lego Education products aren’t the only updates to the district’s media labs. In August, the district fin-

Along with the new STEM labs, the Fred Laudadio McHenry School District 15 executive director of learning services and technology ished transforming its middle schools’ technology labs into STEM labs and STEAM studios.

“We’re excited to bring both these kind of labs to McHenry Middle School and Parkland Middle School,” Laudadio said. “The new STEM and STEAM labs are allowing students to work on more science-, technology-, engineering-, arts- and math-related projects in a team environment.”

The district started implementing these labs at the sixth- through eighth-

district also recently added video production hubs to the middle schools, which allow students to produce educational videos, broadcast sporting events and develop promotional content.

“Now that most these labs are completed, it’ll be very cool to see what students are able to do, because it gives them more chances to work on real-world projects,” Laudadio said.

The elementary schools’ new Lego Education products were made possible by a $63,000 Title I grant. As for the middle schools’ new STEM labs, STEAM studios and video production hubs, these renovations were not grant-funded but were a part of the district’s summer construction project.

After-school streams of jaywalking students are predictably unpredictable

the car in front of me suddenly stopped.

Crossing diagonally was a stream of students headed to the parking lot behind the businesses. They had traffic in both directions stopped.

Now, it’s not as if the city of McHenry doesn’t provide crosswalks along Green Street. It does, and there are a number of them that easily would have gotten the teens to their destination in a legal fashion.

Why, some towns, including the city of Milwaukee, aren’t afraid to hand out tickets to pedestrians for that maneuver, also known as jaywalking. And Illinois does have a law that could be enforced here.

Happily, no one was injured that afternoon, perhaps because enough of us are aware of the unpredictability of teen pedestrians. And probably because we were all teen pedestrians once, too.

My adrenaline did start to pump as I warily watched as a few teens actually used the sidewalk. Would they, too, dart in front of my car? Would they follow the crowd and assume that I would stop?

Predictability is a key to good driving. It’s also a key to safe walking.

Maybe these kids will learn that lesson before something unpredictable, God forbid, happens to them.

That’s why we have to pass a test of our knowledge of the Rules of the Road.

The rules are there so that we have a reasonable idea about what we – and other drivers on the road – are supposed to do.

Predictability brings a sense of relative security and calm to our travel and avoids countless accidents.

Imagine if we didn’t have rules about intersections. Actually, you don’t really have to imagine it; just go to the French Quarter in New Orleans.

There, the buildings go right up to the intersections and there are no stop signs. Or at least there weren’t when I visited years ago. I’d count that among the scariest driving situations I’ve ever encountered.

See, unpredictability is unsettling, scary and causes a rush of adrenaline.

That’s not to say that we don’t have unpredictability here, because we do.

Fall is one of the times when our deer population tends to dart out into traffic, with quite predictable results.

Sadly, the area’s deer aren’t the only ones. On a recent Tuesday afternoon, I learned of another group prone to unpredictably darting out into traffic: the American teenager.

Now, I’ll admit that driving near McHenry High School East Campus around the time when school lets out was a mistake. I’ve lived in McHenry long enough to know that and to know that the idea of driving near West at that time isn’t all that bright, either.

However, I wasn’t prepared for what transpired as I entered the intersection of Green Street and Waukegan Road.

As I was driving north along Green Street and just past the intersection,

WOODSTOCK – Officials took the first step in determining the annual property tax levy at Tuesday’s City Council meeting.

Woodstock’s equalized assessed value is expected to increase by almost 5 percent, including new growth, which accounts for about 0.6 percent. The city plans to limit the tax levy hike to only account for new growth, which will amount to about $56,000, according to city documents.

A larger increase likely will be considered and adopted in December so that if the estimated evaluations are different than the final number, an abatement can be issued. The city plans to shift levy amounts from certain funds – such as the audit and environmental management funds – to the general fund.

A public hearing is not required for the levy under the Truth in Taxation law because the increase is less than 5 percent. The levy will be discussed and voted on in December.

of the aspects that’s changed most in the industry is the new technology, he said.

Trucks can have customized features, from cameras to side-wing plows to computer-regulated liquid and salt applications, he said, which can have positive effects for the taxpayers and environment.

“A lot of that’s coming out of the tax base to pay for those things,” Barker said. “So keeping that budget in line and making sure we’re not wasting money is an important part of them doing that, along with the environmental piece. Obviously, you want to keep as much salt out of the environment as we can.”

Illinois highways can’t shut down because snow isn’t removed, Barker said, and his employees are all conscious of the importance of having reliable snow equipment.

CRYSTAL LAKE – Early childhood professionals can take home ideas for their classroom or business at the 28th annual Practical Ideas for the Child’s World conference on benchmarking early childhood best practices.

The event will be from 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Nov. 12 in the Luecht Conference Center at McHenry County College, 8900 Route 14, Crystal Lake.

Sponsored by the McHenry County College Workforce and Community Development Division, the early childhood conference will feature keynote speaker Eric Litwin, a New York Times best-selling author who brings literacy and music together. He is the author of the first four “Pete the Cat” picture book series, as well as the author of “The Nuts” and “Groovy Joe.” He won several literacy awards, including a Theodor Geisel Seuss Award.

Participants can renew their sense of excitement working with young children by attending two workshop

sessions featuring innovative and practical topics, including creative materials for toddlers, playtime ideas for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), oral language development and yoga for storytime and playtime.

“This conference aims to give early childhood educators and professionals the tools and information they need to continue bringing young children the best education possible,” said Lisha Linder, department chairwoman of Early Childhood Education at MCC. The cost is $40 general admission and $20 for MCC Early Childhood Education students.

Conference brochures with registration information are available online at www.mchenry.edu/childsworld.

Those who are interested in exhibiting at the conference may request an exhibitor registration form by calling Wendy Yemm at 815-455-8764. Registration deadline for exhibitors is Friday.

Offering a volunteer opportunity could be the perfect gift Could I be looking at the holiday season all wrong? Every year, I dread parts of the season. I especially dread the gift giving.

Don’t get me wrong – I love giving.

I just don’t like trying to find that perfect gift. It causes such pressure. You see, I know there is no way I can afford what I think the people I care about deserve, and anything less in my mind isn’t good enough. Yeah, welcome to my brain.

Bottom line is I want gifts for my family and friends that bring smiles, create positive memories and spur

VOLUNTEERING Rebecca Stiemke good conversation. I want them to look back at the gift and feel better about who they are.

I wish I could give them all a volunteer experience. It probably sounds a bit corny, but I just know what volunteerism does for me. After I leave my weekly gig, I walk away with a smile wishing I could stay a bit longer. I look

for those people in my life who will understand my joy and talk to them about the fun I just had. Most of all, I feel good. I feel like I am doing something worthwhile.

I have a challenge for you. Let’s you and I see how many people we can encourage this holiday season to volunteer. Whether it is bringing them along to a volunteer gig, talking about volunteerism or doing a little research and presenting them with a place to volunteer, let’s see where it goes. Who knows? Maybe it will be the best gift they ever got.

Crystal Lake Park District seeking public comment PARALEGALS for 5-year strategic plan ARE IN HIGH

By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – The Crystal Lake Park District is asking for community input to develop its five-year strategic plan.

Residents in the district can attend one of two community meetings to share ideas and provide feedback on the plan, which will define the park district’s initiatives and goals through 2021 – the district’s centennial year.

The district would like people to RSVP their selected date at asandor@ crystallakeparks.org so it can plan for meeting space and refreshments. The

format of both meetings will be the same.

The first meeting is scheduled from 7 to 9 p.m. Nov. 21 at Park Place, 406 W. Woodstock St. Pizza and salad will be served to participants. The second meeting is scheduled from 9 to 11 a.m.

Dec. 17 at the Rotary Building at Veteran Acres Park, 431 N. Walkup Road. A continental breakfast will be served.

The park district, founded in 1921, accounts for about 5 percent of residential property tax bills. It manages 41 parks totaling more than 1,400 acres and operates 17 independent facilities.

Comptroller race in spotlight with budget fight

CHICAGO – The race for comptroller, usually a low-profile contest coinciding with Illinois’ gubernatorial campaigns, is in the spotlight during a presidential year with a big money special election offering Democrats an unusual chance to oust Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner’s hand-picked candidate.

The office that controls Illinois’ checkbook is open mid-term because incumbent Leslie Munger’s appointment is expiring. Rauner named her after Republican Judy Baar Topinka died after her 2014 re-election and Democrats in charge pushed a law requiring a 2016 special election.

Munger is vying to keep the job against Democrat Susana Mendoza, Chicago’s city clerk aligned with the influential speaker of the Illinois House, and Green Party and Libertarian candidates Timothy Curtin and Claire Ball, respectively.

The Nov. 8 winner will finish out the last half of the term.

to prioritize who gets paid, from state workers to utility companies to social service providers. The office can also be used as a bully pulpit to urge change, something that could impact the administration in power.

Illinois’ first GOP governor in over a decade remains deadlocked on a full spending plan with Democrats controlling the Legislature.

They oppose Rauner’s union-weakening, Leslie pro-business agenda as Munger a condition to a budget with new taxes.

The comptroller post has been obscure, with perpetual talk of merging it with the treasurer’s office, which oversees investments. But it’s recently played a more prominent role with Illinois’ unprecedented budget gridlock.

Candidate accused of posing as judge barred from bench

CHICAGO – The Illinois Supreme Court on Monday barred a Chicago-area judicial candidate accused of posing as a judge during traffic court from taking the bench if she wins and revoked her law license.

Rhonda Crawford, 45, was a shoo-in to win in November until news that she briefly played a judge drew ridicule and condemnation among those who practice law in Cook County. Her only opponent, Judge Maryam Ahmad, is a write-in candidate.

Crawford’s attorney did not return a telephone call Monday night seeking comment on the court’s action.

from their backing.

Munger, who called herself Rauner’s “budgetary wingman,” supports his agenda and took millions in donations from the former venture capitalist and his allies. But she insists she’s stood up to Rauner. She delayed paychecks for elected officials during the impasse, and defied his request to not pay public-employee unions the “fair share” Timothy dues her office deducts Curtin from state worker paychecks.

Mendoza, a former legislator, says she’s also created waves within her party. She once challenged a Madigan-backed candidate and publicly disagreed with Mayor Claire Ball Rahm Emanuel as clerk when he pitched raising the price of parking permits. But she voted with House Democrats on spending plans and has publicly praised the speaker, including during a 2011 ceremony nominating him to the post he’s held almost continuously since 1983.

Ex-Mich. woman convicted in 1979 death of husband

ROLLING MEADOWS – A former Michigan woman has been convicted of murder in the 1979 death of her husband in suburban Chicago. The Daily Herald reported that jurors returned the verdict Monday against 69-year-old Jacquelyn Greco in the death of Carl Gaimari.

Prosecutors said greed motivated Greco and another man to arrange a home invasion and robbery April 30, 1979. It began when two masked gunman entered the home in Inverness, tied Greco up and locked her and three of her children in a closet.

Gaimari was fatally shot after returning home from work. Greco’s defense argued

the killing didn’t make sense.

Public hearing planned for Chicago train expansion

CHICAGO – Chicago residents will get a chance to weigh in on plans to move ahead with the first city train expansion in more than 20 years.

The Chicago Transit Authority recently announced it’s moving forward with a $2.3 billion expansion of the Red Line. The train line runs north and south in the city with stops downtown and near ballparks for the Cubs and White Sox. The city plans to extend the line farther south. Construction could begin in 2022.

A public hearing was planned Tuesday at St. John Missionary Baptist Church.

Andrea Reed with the Greater Roseland Chamber of Commerce on the South Side told the Chicago Tribune the extension is “much needed.” But homeowner Prentiss Smith said the train could crack building foundations and possibly bring more crime.

men supporting Rauner.

Since 2015’s start, Munger collected nearly $9 million, with $1 million from Rauner, $2 million from businessman Richard Uihlein and $5 million from Citadel CEO Ken Griffin. Munger transferred $3 million to the Republican Party, which is pouring money into legislative battles to reduce Democratic supermajorities.

Mendoza raised about $3.5 million in the same time period. Roughly onethird comes from unions and a smaller sum from a Democratic Party fund controlled by Madigan.

The campaign

The two faced off in one televised debate where both interrupted each other often as they defended their records.

Munger claimed her opponent voted “in lockstep” with Madigan and her campaign donations come from special interests. She defended her own campaign fund as support from people who want to improve Illinois.

“The governor has not bought me,” she said on Chicago’s WTTW. But Mendoza said the contributions make Munger a “wholly-owned subsidiary” of Rauner. She defended her budget votes as preserving funding for people in need.

“I feel like I’m running against Gov. Rauner right now,” Mendoza said afterward. “The minute he bought the office, it became a proxy between him and myself.”

University of Illinois to push for full state funding

URBANA – The University of Illinois is planning to try again for full state funding in fiscal 2018, which it hasn’t seen since 2015.

The university is also focusing on its efforts for a multiyear budget arrangement with Illinois, The News-Gazette reported.

It plans to announce proposed legislation next week that would provide five years of guaranteed funding in exchange of hitting certain educational benchmarks.

Those benchmarks include limiting tuition increases to the rate of inflation, providing adequate financial aid or achieving certain graduation rates. In return, the university would receive guaranteed funding for five years, regulatory relief and procurement reform, which faculty members have requested to accelerate the process of buying research equipment and other materials.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Ala. pipeline blast sparks worries about gas prices

HELENA, Ala. – A deadly explosion that sparked a geyser of fire shut down a vital pipeline supplying gasoline to millions of people across the Southeast, raising fears of another round of gas shortages and price increases after the pipeline’s second accident and shutdown in two months.

Continuing fires in the drought-stricken area of central Alabama hampered officials’ efforts to fully assess the damage Tuesday afternoon, and firefighters built an earthen berm to contain the burning fuel.

The accident happened when a dirt-moving track hoe struck the pipeline, ignited gasoline and sparked a blast Monday, killing one worker and injuring five others, Georgia-based Colonial Pipeline said.

2 bus drivers among 6 killed in Baltimore crash

BALTIMORE – A school bus was blocks away from its first stop Tuesday morning when it hit a cemetery wall, rear-ended a car and then ricocheted off a roadside pillar into an oncoming commuter bus. The pre-dawn crash killed six people and injured 10, authorities said.

There were virtually no skid marks at the crash scene, suggesting no braking by the 67-year-old school bus driver,

who was killed, and leading to what Baltimore police spokesman T.J. Smith called a working theory that he had suffered some sort of medical emergency.

The 33-year-old female driver of the Maryland Transit Administration bus also died at the scene, along with four of her 12 passengers, Smith said.

All eight of the surviving commuter bus riders were hurt, two of them critically, he said.

Prosecution, defense cite video in traffic stop killing CINCINNATI – The lead prosecutor and defense attorney Tuesday offered sharply conflicting views of what a police body camera video will tell jurors about what happened when a white officer fatally shot a black man during a 2015 traffic stop.

Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters said the video shows Ray Tensing was lying when he said he was in danger of being dragged to death and that the now-fired University of Cincinnati officer acted contrary to police standards and the law when he shot an unarmed Sam DuBose.

Attorney Stewart Mathews said the prosecution interpretation was so different, it was as if they watched different videos. Tensing was facing death or serious injury from “a 3,000-pound car that he [DuBose] turned into a weapon,” Mathews told jurors.

RIGHT: Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks Tuesday in King of Prussia, Pa.

Clinton, Trump warn of consequences if rival wins

By JULIE PACE and JONATHAN LEMIRE The Associated Press DADE CITY, Fla. – Donald Trump could draw the United States into nuclear war, Hillary Clinton warns. Clinton would plunge the country into a constitutional crisis, he says.

As the caustic presidential race lurches toward the finish line, each candidate is aggressively casting the other as a catastrophic choice for the White House. Making an affirmative case about their own qualifications and vision has become a secondary priority.

It’s an ugly conclusion to a contest featuring two of the most unpopular presidential candidates in modern American politics. The sexual assault accusations that have trailed Trump in the race’s closing weeks and a new FBI review into Clinton’s email habits seem likely to only reinforce the public’s negative perceptions, leaving the candidates to essentially argue to voters that they’re the best of two unappealing options.

“I would rather be here talking about nearly anything else,” Clinton said Tuesday during a rally in Florida where she leveled a series of attacks on Trump’s character and preparedness for the White House. “But I can’t just talk about all of the good things we want to do.”

Indeed, Clinton’s speeches in this final full week of campaigning have overwhelmingly focused on Trump. On Monday, she warned against giving Trump the authority to order a nuclear attack, bringing along a former nuclear launch officer to bolster her point.

“Imagine his advisers afraid to tell him what he doesn’t want to hear, racing against his legendarily short attention span to lay out life-and-

death choices too complex to be reduced to a single tweet,” Clinton said Monday in Ohio. “Then imagine him plunging us into a war because somebody got under his very thin skin.”

After spending much of the summer and fall tearing Trump down, Clinton had planned to close the campaign on a more positive note. She talked about giving Americans something to vote for, not just against. And with public opinion polls showing her with solid leads in most battleground states, she started talking about healing divisions and unifying the country after the election.

But her advisers say they saw polls tighten even before the FBI launched its new email review. The campaign now believes she needs to make a last push to define Trump as an unacceptable choice in order to seal the deal with persuadable voters.

On Tuesday, Clinton focused on Trump’s demeaning and predatory comments about women, calling him a “bully.” This time she brought with her former Miss Universe Alicia Machado.

Trump criticized Machado for gaining weight after winning the 1996 contest.

Trump’s campaign rhetoric has always been dark, full of searing depictions of a crumbling nation, and he has not been shy about going negative on Clinton. He routinely calls her “Crooked Hillary” and “the most corrupt person ever to run for the White House.”

But Trump, too, has stepped up his broadsides after the last weeks of October handed him a pair of potentially potent political gifts: the projected “Obamacare” premium rate hike and FBI Director James Comey’s letter revealing that agents are reviewing emails that may be connected to Clinton’s private server.

FBI director criticized amid email maelstrom

By NANCY BENAC and ERIC TUCKER The Associated Press WASHINGTON – FBI Director James Comey once called it a crucial leadership test: Anticipating whether a decision makes sense “through the eyes of others.”

Now his own big decision has Democrats and even some Republicans wondering whether he failed his own test.

The FBI director who prides himself on moral rectitude and a squeaky-clean reputation is being criticized from all sides for lobbing a stink bomb into the center of the presidential race. His disclosure that investigators have found more emails that may – or may not – relate to Democrat Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email setup as secretary of state has jolted the race and generated far more questions than answers.

This isn’t the first time Comey has found himself in the spotlight for taking a stand on what the 6-foot-8 lawyer saw as the moral high ground.

Perhaps the last previous thing many Americans heard about Comey was the tale of his dramatic rush to the bedside of then-Attorney General John Ashcroft in a darkened hospital room

in 2004 for a standoff with senior White House officials over federal wiretapping rules. Comey, serving as acting attorney general during Ashcroft’s illness, dashed to the bedside to block Bush administration officials from making an end run to get Ashcroft’s permission to reauthorize a secret no-warrant wiretapping program.

“That night was probably the most difficult night of my professional life,” Comey testified before Congress in 2007.

Perhaps until now.

Former Justice Department officials and lawmakers from both James parties are calling Com- Comey ey’s revelation about Clinton’s emails just 11 days before the election an improper, astonishing and perplexing intrusion into politics in the critical endgame of the 2016 campaign.

It’s an unexpected predicament for the man who has painted ethical decision-making as an easy call.

“There’s right, and there’s wrong, and it ain’t hard to tell the difference,” he once said.

That internal certitude has led the FBI official to freelance his positions at times.

Last year he broke from the White House in suggesting a possible link between police officers’ anxieties about taking actions that could be recorded on viral videos and rising homicide rates in some American cities.

The White House distanced itself from those remarks, saying there was no scientific evidence to support a connection, or show that officers were pulling back from their responsibilities.

Comey, a former Republican who is no longer registered with a political party, spent 15 years as a federal prosecutor before serving in the George W. Bush administration. His office brought the case that led to Martha Stewart’s conviction on obstruction of justice and lying to government investigators. As an assistant U.S. attorney in Virginia, he handled the investigation of the 1996 bombing of the Khobar Towers housing complex in Saudi Arabia that killed 19 members of the U.S. military.

President Barack Obama, when he nominated Comey for a 10-year-ap-

pointment to the FBI job in 2013, cited his willingness to stand up to power “at key moments when it’s mattered most,” referencing the hospital-room standoff.

Aides say Obama’s high opinion of Comey still stands. But the White House is leaving the FBI director dangling, saying it is up to him to defend himself in the face of what spokesman Josh Earnest called “significant criticism from a variety of legal experts, including individuals who served in senior Department of Justice positions in administrations that were led by presidents in both parties.”

Indeed, Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, a hard-line conservative and House Judiciary Committee member, told Fox News Radio that “this was probably not the right thing for Comey to do, the protocol here, to come out this close to an election. But this whole case has been mishandled, and now it is what it is.”

And former Rep. Joe Walsh, a supporter of Donald Trump, tweeted that Comey’s action amounted to an “unconstitutional abuse of government power against our electoral process.

Just not right.”

Latest earthquake levels Castelluccio di Norcia in Italy

By MATTEO WITT and CARLO PIOVANO The Associated Press CASTELLUCCIO DI NORCIA, Italy – Some houses are collapsed outright, pancaked piles of stones and plaster. A pair of skis stick out. Some are cracked open neatly, exposing living rooms frozen in time.

The central Italian mountain village of Castelluccio di Norcia, among the most heavily hit by Sunday’s earthquake, is known for the beautiful blossoms of its lentil fields and its historic charm. Now it’s a ghost town.

With the roads cut off, almost all of the 300 inhabitants were evacuated by helicopter. They all survived after an earlier quake in August prompted them to move into safer housing such as camper vans or containers.

But a small group of 13 hardy souls refuses to leave. Mostly farmers, they want to stay close to their cattle, sheep and horses – their livelihood, without which they would truly have nothing left to come back for.

“Practically we’ve returned to the stone age,” said Augusto Coccia, 65.

He was among the farmers housed in containers in the town square, eating breakfast, when the earthquake struck. It bounced the containers about and filled the air with a thick fog of

The remains of a house are seen Tuesday in the village of Pretare, near Arquata del Tronto in Italy. Earthquake aftershocks gave central Italy no respite, haunting a region where thousands of people were left homeless and frightened by a massive weekend tremor that razed centuries-old towns. dust.

The 6.6-magnitude tremor, the country’s most powerful in 36 years, pulled down buildings and historic churches in villages across the Appenine mountains. In Castelluccio, the ground is now as much as 2 feet lower, according

to the national geophysics institute.

This town’s plight was worsened by the fact that the roads were cut off. Rescue helicopters brought in the bare necessities – food and water – on Sunday but little else.

Coccia and the others who stayed

behind cook under the open sky with gas canisters. They have no heating, electricity or constant water supply.

The temperature drops to as low as minus-20 degrees at night.

“The medical supplies were delivered to us today. It’s been three days since we requested them, but it’s very hard to get them to us,” he said.

Besides helicopter, the only way to get to Castelluccio is by four-by-four through an hour and a half of rough terrain. Some residents of the area made the trip, as did forest rangers, with whom The Associated Press traveled.

Among those making their way to Castelluccio on Tuesday was Vincenzo Brandimarte, 63. He had recently built an inn here using modern earthquake-resistant planning – and it was one of the very few buildings that did not collapse or crack.

“Today I began to cry when I saw the town with my own eyes,” he said.

“This is worse than war. If it had been a real war maybe the town wouldn’t have been destroyed to this extent.”

As of Tuesday, 15,000 people from the region some 62 miles north of Rome were being given shelter. That’s on top of 2,000 who remain displaced from a first quake in August, which left 300 dead.

OUR VIEW

Voters, you’re our only hope Illinois’ budget crisis has been going on for years.

A four-year temporary income tax increase (201114), approved by then-Gov. Pat Quinn and fellow Democrats in the Legislature, did surprisingly little to alleviate it.

The 2014 election of Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner, followed by his tussle with the Democratic-controlled Legislature, dominated by House For the record Speaker Michael Madigan, sparked State government has a a yearlong budget spending problem, and it refusimpasse followed by es to do anything about it. the half-year stopgap budget agreed to in late June.

And yet, living in a state hit hard by billions of dollars in deficits, debt and unfunded pension obligations, most Illinoisans say the state’s budget stalemate hasn’t affected them.

The Paul Simon Public Policy Institute, based at Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, recently conducted a poll of 1,000 registered Illinois voters.

It found 62 percent said the budget mess hadn’t affected them one bit, while 34 percent said they personally had been affected.

Of those feeling budgetary pain, 18 percent said it had cost them their jobs (or they feared it soon would); 15 percent said the loss of general social services had affected them; and 14 percent said the loss of K-12 education funding had affected them.

Sadly, after next week’s election is over, 100 percent of those who pay income taxes in Illinois are likely to be affected.

That’s because Madigan and his fellow Democrats are likely to push through another tax increase. Of course, lawmakers aren’t courageous enough to approve a tax hike before the election.

And you can bet this tax increase won’t be temporary like the one passed in 2011.

Similar to the one in 2011, however, you also can bet this tax increase won’t solve the state’s fiscal problems. That’s because state government has a spending problem, and it refuses to do anything about it.

Illinois led all 50 states in population loss in 2015.

Every other state in the Midwest showed a net population increase. What will another tax increase do to Illinois’ outmigration problem?

It will make it only worse as more and more residents search for work elsewhere.

Taxes should be on every Illinois resident’s mind when voting next week. Electing responsible leaders who understand state government has a spending problem is our only hope.

ANOTHER VIEW

Trump, Putin share worldview One of Vladimir Putin’s fondest conceits is the U.S. political system is every bit as corrupt, authoritarian and bent on external aggression as his regime. At a meeting with Western academics and ex-statesmen last week in his favorite resort, Sochi, Putin was at it again: For every crime committed by his Kremlin, Putin was ready with a comparison to a supposedly identical outrage by the American “ruling class,” as he likes to call it.

The invasions of Crimea and eastern Ukraine? Exactly like NATO’s interventions in Bosnia and Kosovo during the 1990s, says Putin. The Obama administration’s charge that Russia has attempted to intervene in the U.S. presidential campaign?

Putin responded with the same language used by the White House to answer Moscow’s allegations that Hillary Clinton was behind popular demonstrations against Putin’s re-election four years ago.

As for the notion he supported Donald Trump, Putin called this orchestrated propaganda of the Clinton camp before observing

Trump “represents the interests of the sizable part of American society that is tired of the elites that have been in power for decades now ... and does not like to see power handed down by inheritance.” Maybe that wasn’t an endorsement, but Putin and Trump have an uncanny way of echoing each other’s words.

The subject that most seemed to provoke Putin was Aleppo, where Russian and Syrian bombing of hospitals, apartment buildings and a United Nations relief convoy has been widely condemned as a war crime. “We keep hearing Aleppo, Aleppo, Aleppo,” whined Putin. Yet the attack on the Syrian city, he contended, was not different from the U.S.-backed assault on Mosul, the Iraqi city held by the Islamic State.

Here, for the record, are some differences: While Mosul is controlled by Islamist extremists who enslave non-Sunni women and behead dissenters, the rebel forces in Aleppo include Western-backed secular groups who seek only to overturn the blood-drenched Assad regime. U.S. and allied planes

are not deliberately targeting Mosul’s hospitals or international aid groups. And while the Mosul campaign has broad international support, only Russia, the Assad regime and Iran support the Aleppo attack.

Most people living in open societies are informed enough to perceive the cynicism and mendacity in Putin’s comparisons. But Russia’s increasingly sophisticated internet and satellite television propaganda operations are winning over a segment of Western opinion. Trump, too, has adopted Mr. Putin’s view. He repeatedly has endorsed Moscow’s call for the West to join Russia in fighting “terrorism,” and he has written off Aleppo as “basically fallen.”

If Trump is elected, the United States will have a president who sees no essential difference between the U.S. and Russian military offensives in the Middle East. Putin will be vindicated: The moral gap between his regime and the White House will be difficult to detect.

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

Broadcast TV ads inundate viewers During any given campaign season, one or maybe two state legislative campaigns wind up running ads on Chicago broadcast TV stations.

But in the age of Gov. Bruce Rauner’s gigantic campaign contributions, it may be easier to count the number of Chicago-area candidates who aren’t running any city broadcast ads.

State Rep. Michael McAuliffe (R-Chicago) started the trend by airing Chicago broadcast TV ads at the beginning of August – an act completely without precedent in the General Assembly. Chicago broadcast ads are so expensive campaigns usually don’t start airing them until mid to late October.

The ads also are incredibly inefficient. The Chicago media market has about 7.9 million people ages 12 and older, as measured by the ratings companies.

Four years ago, during the last presidential cycle, a total of 38,748 votes were cast in McAuliffe’s race. So, when McAuliffe and other House candidates air these ads, they’re aiming them at only about half a percentage point of the entire media market. It’s actually much lower than that because most people already have made up their minds by now.

It’s like using a hydrogen bomb to kill a tiny gnat.

Just last week, the cash-rich

VIEWS Rich Miller Republicans went up on Chicago broadcast TV in five legislative races: Rod Drobinski vs. Rep. Sam Yingling (D-Grayslake), who also made a broadcast buy late last week; Rep. Chris Winger (R-Wood Dale) vs. Cynthia Borbas, who has been up on Chicago broadcast for a little while with an ad blasting Winger for her social conservatism; Rep. David Olsen (R-Downers Grove), who is fending off a late cable TV buy from Greg Hose; Steve Reick, who’s up against John Bartman, who just launched cable ads in retiring McHenry County Democratic Rep. Jack Franks’ district; and Michelle Smith vs. Sen. Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant (D-Shorewood), who also is on Chicago broadcast.

Keep in mind, those are just the latest to air the ads. Plenty of others already were on Chicago broadcast.

Both candidates in the Rep. Kate Cloonen (D-Chicago) race have been airing broadcast TV, as have both in Democratic Rep. Andy Skoog’s LaSalle County-area race and both in Democratic Sen. Tom Cullerton’s DuPage County contest, as well as Rep. McAuliffe’s opponent Merry Marwig, among others.

And it’s not just the two parties airing the spots. Dan Proft says his Liberty Principles PAC is airing Chicago broadcast ads on behalf of six Republicans.

And it’s not just happening in Chicago. St. Louis broadcast TV also has been a relative rarity for legislative campaign ads. Heck, many statewide candidates forgo advertising in St. Louis because of its high cost-to-benefit ratio.

Rep. Dwight Kay (R-Glen Carbon) has been running ads on St. Louis TV for several weeks, and the Democrats just started airing ads there for Rep. Dan Beiser (D-Alton) to match his Republican opponent Mike Babcock’s buy. The Democrats also started running St. Louis ads for Mike Mathis against Rep. Avery Bourne (R-Raymond).

“It’s crazy,” said one Metro East pal about the flood of St. Louis ads.

“I want to throw something at the TV.” Head up the Mississippi River and you’ll see broadcast TV ads in the Quad Cities for and against Rep. Mike Smiddy (D-Hillsdale). Like in St. Louis, most people who watch Quad Cities television stations don’t live in Illinois.

Then head as far south in Illinois as you can go, and Rep. John Bradley (D-Marion) reportedly is pushing a completely unheard of 3,900 gross ratings points on TV stations in and

near his district. Generally, if you want half your targeted audience to see an ad three times, you’ll “push” 150 ratings points. Do the math.

Bradley must be advertising 24 hours a day on every program.

The Republicans, by the way, estimated last week they’ve pushed 5,000 points statewide on their anti-House Speaker Michael Madigan message.

But are any of these ads working this late in the game?

Last week, a friend of mine who doesn’t watch much broadcast television said he was watching “Chicago’s Very Own” WGN and texted me the ads as they popped up on his TV: “Anti-Yingling, pro-Duckworth, anti-Mendoza, anti-Skoog, anti-Yingling (again), anti-Cloonen.

All back-to-back in a single commercial break.”

A few minutes later, he texted: “Hey back to commercials! Anti-Bartman, anti-Cullerton. Anti-Trump/Rauner (new from LIFT).

What is this! An ad for Target. Like, a real ad for buying cheap [stuff].

Refreshing.”

“Seriously,” he texted, “it was just one big jumble. Nothing could break through this. And if you were getting 20 pieces of mail? Shoot me now.”

IT’S YOUR WRITE In local races, vote Republican

To the Editor: On Nov. 8, many races will be decided that will have significant impact locally.

Patrick Kenneally is the only qualified candidate for McHenry County state’s attorney. Mr. Kenneally has shown significant prowess as a prosecutor and succeeded in growing responsibility in that office through the years.

Joe Tirio sticks out as a unique candidate, bringing forth ideas to drive radical change to reduce cost in the county recorder’s office by eliminating the very position he is running for.

Michael Walkup is the only County Board chairman candidate who has been active and successful in reducing cost and taxes at the County Board level and will continue to do so as board chairman.

It’s clear the Democratic candidates in McHenry are in disarray; more than half of their local candidates couldn’t even get on the ballot for the primary in the spring.

When you vote in local races, vote Republican.

Thanks to Andrew Gasser

To the Editor: County Board member Andrew Gasser is truly one of us. Andrew always has been our advocate for the property tax issue in McHenry County, but he has proven to be so much more.

On Aug. 2, the McHenry County Board passed a resolution creating the Non-Dedicated Roads (NDR) program.

The program has languished in implementation for several months. When a meeting finally was called Oct. 18 to discuss the issue, Mr. Gasser vigorously defended the program.

He willingly goes the extra mile to educate himself, even on arcane legal matters such as NDR, to advocate fairly for the issues before the board at

any point in time.

The program now is moving forward, and I wanted to thank Andrew for taking the time to become knowledgeable on transportation issues such as the NDR program.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK – USA Today publisher Gannett walked away Tuesday from its attempted takeover of Tronc, the owner of the Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune and other major dailies.

Gannett’s target was elusive from the beginning, with a publicly contentious back-and-forth between the two companies. Tronc, formerly known as Tribune Publishing, had rejected at least two bids from Gannett since April, saying it preferred to go it alone and focus on tech-driven initiatives involving artificial intelligence and global expansion in entertainment news and video.

Tronc’s stock lost more than 12 percent Tuesday.

After the stock market’s close, Tronc reported third-quarter results showing its revenue declined in both its traditional and digital businesses.

But it kept its sales guidance for the year and raised a profit forecast.

Newspapers’ print ad revenues have been falling for years, and growth in digital ads and online-only subscriptions has not been enough to offset that.

Gannett has dealt with the decline by snapping up newspaper companies so it could sell more ads and then cutting jobs, and it wanted to combine with Tronc to add to its heft.

Gannett is now the largest newspaper company in the U.S. by paid circulation, according to Dirks, Van Essen & Murray, a firm that helps newspapers with merger transactions; Tronc

Gannett is walking away from its takeover attempt at Tronc, the publisher of the Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune and other major dailies. is No. 3. In addition to USA Today, Gannett owns the Detroit Free Press, the Arizona Republic and dozens of other smaller newspapers across the country.

But the merger was not to be. Tronc said Tuesday that it reached an agreement on price in mid-September, but it didn’t say how much. The last publicly rejected offer was for $864 million, including about $385 million in debt.

The Chicago company said, howev-

er, that Gannett was unable to pull together the money it needed to complete the deal. Gannett said that the terms of the deal were not acceptable.

Gannett Co., based in McLean, Virginia, had hinted at problems during its earnings call last week. CEO Robert Dickey, after a bad quarter and layoffs, said the company had to make sure that “financing terms make sense” for the Tronc deal and that Gannett, with a long string of newspaper acquisitions

under its belt, would not “add properties for the sake of adding properties.”

But Dickey said last week that the company was still interested in building its local-news footprint, suggesting that smaller deals might be coming.

This year, Gannett has already bought Journal Media Group, the publisher of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Knoxville News Sentinel and other papers, as well as the North Jersey Media Group, which publishes The Record and other papers in New Jersey.

Tronc Inc. said it will stick to its previous plan, focusing on technology and video initiatives born under Chairman Michael Ferro. Ferro, who had owned a stake in cross-town rival Chicago Sun-Times, invested $44.4 million in Tronc and became its chairman in February. He brought on California entrepreneur Patrick Soon-Shiong as an investor to help fend off Gannett.

In its most recent quarter, Tronc’s losses deepened to $10.5 million from $8.6 million, while revenue slid 6.8 percent to $378.2 million. Advertising revenue fell 11 percent. In its digital unit, dubbed “troncX,” ad revenues slipped 2.2 percent to $47.3 million. Print-ad revenue fell 13 percent, to $154.5 million; circulation revenue for the traditional business also dipped 1 percent, to $117.1 million.

Tronc’s shares closed down $1.49 at $10.54. In after-market trading after the earnings report, they recovered 44 cents, or 4.2 percent, to $10.98.

Gannett Co.’s shares dipped 18 cents, or 2.3 percent, to end at $7.59.

This image provided by Architectural Digest shows The Treaty Room in the White House in Washington in August. The Treaty Room is filled with memorabilia, including one of President Barack Obama’s two Grammy Awards, family photos and a personalized football. It’s also where Obama often retreats late at night.

President Obama reveals private living areas of White House WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama likes to say the White House is the “people’s house.” Now the people are getting a look at the rooms where he lives.

Exclusive photos published Tuesday by Architectural Digest are giving the public its first glimpse of private areas on the second floor of the White House that Obama, his wife, Michelle, daughters Malia and Sasha and family dogs Bo and Sunny have called home for nearly eight years.

Los Angeles-based interior designer Michael Smith decorated the rooms, as well as the Oval Office. A mutual friend in Chicago introduced him to the Obamas after the 2008 election.

The first lady said Smith managed to reflect her family’s tastes while respecting the history of the White House.

“Above all, it has truly felt like a home for our family,” she said.

Photos show the Yellow Oval Room; the Treaty Room, where Obama retreats late at night to read briefing material for the next day; a sitting room; a dining room; and the master bedroom. The rooms are adorned with a variety of modern and contemporary art borrowed from major art institutions, such as the National Gallery of Art and Smithsonian museums.

Architectural Digest has also published photos of the private living quarters of Presidents John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush.

Amy Astley, the editor in chief, said the Obamas’ personal style, and the history and diversity of the nation, are reflected in their art and decor choices. The Architectural Digest issue with photos of the Obama living quarters is scheduled to appear on newsstands on Tuesday, Election Day.

LOS ANGELES – Ron Howard is among those set to guest star in a tribute to late TV sitcom king Garry Marshall in an episode of “The Odd Couple” next week.

Marshall died in July at 81. He developed the original “Odd Couple” TV series from the 1970s and acted in the current CBS version in an April episode, playing the father of Matthew Perry’s character.

The Hollywood Reporter said Howard and fellow stars of Marshall’s “Happy Days,” including Marion Ross, Don Most and Anson Williams, will take part in the “Odd Couple” tribute. Marshall’s sister, Penny Marshall, is set to appear along with Cindy Williams.

The pair played the title characters in Marshall’s “Laverne & Shirley.”

The episode is set to air Monday on CBS.

Taylor Swift has turned to her superhero friend Ryan Reynolds for help with her Halloween costume.

Swift posted several pictures of herself on Instagram as Marvel’s Deadpool alongside some friends on Halloween night. She thanked Reynolds in one caption, calling him “the BEST deadpool inside contact ever.”

Reynolds played the talkative antihero in one of the year’s highest-grossing films so far. A sequel is due out in 2018.

In girls, studies show symptoms can be subtle, or absent, for some at risk lagged behind their academic progress. She was labeled anxious, not autistic.

“She didn’t meet the stereotypical behaviors of no eye contact, no communication, hand flapping,” Klein said. “It was always the hands-off approach” from teachers and doctors.

“They’d say ‘Let’s wait and see.

Give her some time, she’ll grow out of it. She’s just shy,’ ” Klein recalled.

“People dismiss it in girls.”

A few months ago, just before Jillian turned 6, Rush University’s Loftin confirmed Klein’s concerns. Jillian has mild autism. Now the family is playing catch-up in getting her needed services.

By LINDSEY TANNER The Associated Press CHICAGO – Think autism, and an image of an awkward boy typically emerges. The developmental disorder is at least four times more common in boys, but scientists taking a closer look are finding some gender-based surprises: Many girls with autism have social skills that can mask the condition. And some girls are born without autism despite the same genetic mutations seen in boys with the condition.

The gender effect is a hot topic in autism research and one that could lead to new ways of diagnosing and treating a condition that affects at least 1 in 68 U.S. children.

Better understanding of gender’s role is key to helping the most people, said Kevin Pelphrey, an autism researcher at George Washington University. “Autism may not be the same thing in boys and girls.”

What science shows

The causes of autism aren’t known, but various genetic mutations are thought to play a role, and outside factors including older parents and premature birth also have been implicated.

Brain imaging suggests there may be an additional explanation for why many girls with autism have more subtle symptoms, Pelphrey said.

“The surprising thing we are finding is that even in girls who clearly have autism,” brain regions involved in social behavior that normally are affected are less severely impaired, he said.

Recent studies on autism-linked genes have found another gender difference.

Girls can have the same kinds of genetic mutations seen in boys with autism, “and even need to have twice as many mutations on average to actually manifest with autism,” said Joseph Buxbaum, director of an autism center at Mount Sinai medical school in New York City.

Buxbaum is among researchers trying to identify a “protective factor” that may explain how some girls at genetic risk remain unaffected, perhaps a protein or other biological marker that could be turned into a drug or other therapy to treat or even prevent autism. That possibility likely is a long

The gender effect is a hot topic in autism research and one that could lead to new ways of diagnosing and treating the condition. way off, but Pelphrey said this line of research has prompted excitement among autism scientists.

Making a diagnosis

There’s no autism blood test. It’s diagnosed by observing behavior, and some experts say gender-based differences highlight a need to develop different ways to evaluate boys and girls.

Autism screening is recommended for all kids at age 18 months and 2 years. But screening tools typically are based on research in autistic boys, said Rachel Loftin, clinical director of an autism center at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago.

One widely used screening questionnaire for parents focuses on social deficits seen more often in autistic boys than affected girls. Questions include “Does your child play make-believe, make eye contact, seek praise, show interest in other children?” Girls with autism, especially mild cases, often don’t show obvious problems in those categories – they’re more likely than affected boys to play pretend with toys rather than lining them up by size or shape. Loftin said they’re also more likely to show concern for another person’s feelings.

Government data show all forms of autism – mild to severe – are more

common in boys and the average age at diagnosis is 4 years in boys and girls. But Loftin said anecdotal evidence suggests a two-year lag time in diagnosis for girls, especially those with mild cases. And she suspects many cases are missed or misdiagnosed. That means a delay in early intensive behavior therapy that is the main treatment for autism.

Some girls manage to camouflage symptoms until school pressures to fit in become overwhelming, delaying diagnosis until around age 8 or 9, said Alycia Halladay, chief science officer at the Autism Science Foundation, a nonprofit educational and research-funding group.

Prominent autism advocate, professor and author Temple Grandin didn’t fit that mold. She wasn’t fully verbal until age 4. “It was obvious something was drastically wrong with me,” Grandin said. With “1950s parenting” including intense encouragement to develop social skills and other talents, she said she learned to adapt.

A mom’s concern

Allison Klein worried about possible autism in her daughter, Jillian, for three years before the little girl finally was diagnosed. Jillian couldn’t tolerate loud noises, grew withdrawn around her preschool classmates and

Buxbaum, the Mount Sinai researcher, is seeking to enroll hundreds of families with autistic sons but unaffected daughters in a study looking for genetic clues and protective factors.

Funded by the Autism Science Foundation, the Autism Sisters Project began last year with the goal of building a big database other scientists can use.

Girls and their families visit the New York lab to give saliva samples for DNA analysis, and efforts are underway to expand DNA collection to other sites.

Evee Bak, 15, hopes her saliva samples eventually will benefit her older brother Tommy. The suburban Philadelphia siblings are just a year apart. They play in a garage band – Evee on drums, Tommy on guitar and vocals. He’s a masterful musician, but has trouble reading social cues and doing things that come easy to other teens, such as shopping alone or using public transportation.

“The thing at the forefront of my mind is mostly just taking care of Tommy and making sure he’s happy and healthy,” Evee said.

Tommy was diagnosed at age 3, after he stopped using words he’d learned months earlier and showed unusual behavior including repetitively lining up toys instead of playing with them.

“He’s a wonderful person, and I don’t think that we’d ever want to change him,” said his mother, Erin Lopes. But they’d welcome anything that could help him function as independently as possible “because I think that’s what he really wants, is to be independent.”

HEALTH BRIEF

Cranberries squashed as folk remedy

By LINDSEY TANNER The Associated Press CHICAGO – Another folk remedy bites the dust. Cranberry capsules didn’t prevent or cure urinary infections in nursing home residents in a study challenging persistent unproven claims to the contrary.

The research adds to decades of conflicting evidence on whether cranberries in any form can prevent extremely common bacterial infections, especially in women. Many studies suggesting a benefit were based on weak science, but that hasn’t stopped marketers and even some health care providers from recommending cranberry juice or capsules as an inexpensive way to avoid these uncomfortable and potentially risky infections.

The new study, published online Thursday in the Journal of the American Medical Association, used rigorous methods, and the results are convincing, according to a journal editorial.

The infections

Urinary infections lead to nearly 9 million doctor visits and more than 1 million hospitalizations each

year. Men, because of their urinary anatomy, are less vulnerable, while almost half of all U.S. women will develop at least one of these infections in their lifetime. Symptoms can include painful, frequent urination and fatigue. Antibiotics often are used to treat the infections, which usually are not serious but can lead to kidney infections and sometimes dangerous bloodstream infections. Urinary infections are the most commonly diagnosed infection in nursing home residents, but they often have no obvious symptoms, and evidence suggests antibiotics have little effect in these older patients without symptoms, the study authors say.

The study

The research included 147 older women in nursing homes who randomly were assigned to take two cranberry capsules or dummy pills for a year. The number of women with laboratory evidence of infection – bacteria and white blood cells in their urine – varied during the study but averaged about 29 percent overall in both groups. Ten infections in the cranberry group caused overt symptoms, compared with 12 in the placebo

The advice

People who think they have a urinary infection should see a doctor for diagnosis and treatment, but avoid cranberry products “in place of proven treatments for infections,” according to the National Institutes of Health alternative medicine branch.

The journal editorial says additional research is needed to find effective treatments for nursing home residents and others.

WASHINGTON – A wearable skin patch may help children who are allergic to peanuts by delivering small doses of peanut protein, according to a new study that calls for the therapy to be further explored.

The study, published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, found nearly half of those treated with the Viaskin Peanut patch for one year were able to consume at least 10 times more peanut protein than they were able to prior to treatment.

The biggest benefit came for those from 4 years old to 11 years old. Participants older than 12 didn’t see as much of an effect, the study found.

The therapy works by training the immune system to tolerate small amounts of peanuts, said Dr. Daniel Rotrosen, of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health, which is funding the ongoing clinical trial. Further investigation is needed to find out if “the modest clinical changes noted will be enhanced after a longer duration of therapy,” the study said.

30 Narrowed vessels cause intestinal angina Dear Dr. K: For months I’ve experienced severe pain in my abdomen after eating. After excluding a number of other conditions, my doctor diagnosed intestinal angina. I’ve heard of angina related to the heart – is this the same?

Dear Reader: The underlying process is the same for intestinal and cardiac angina.

Let me explain.

Cholesterol-filled plaque and clots can lurk in blood vessels throughout the body.

The arteries that supply the heart are by far the most common hiding place. But arteries elsewhere in the body also can become severely narrowed by plaque.

Clogged vessels in the legs or arms can lead to limb pain during exercise, because the nearby muscles don’t get enough blood to work properly. This is called peripheral artery disease, or PAD. People with PAD also are at risk for narrowing in the arteries that feed the intestines.

Your digestive system ordinarily gets about 20 to 25 percent of the blood pumped out by your heart. After you eat, blood flow to the stomach and intestines almost doubles. But if plaque causes severe narrowing, not enough of that extra blood reaches the intestines when they’re working to digest food. People usually don’t develop symptoms unless at least two of the three major arteries to the bowel are involved.

These narrowed vessels cause intestinal angina. The classic symptom is pain in the abdomen, just above the navel, that occurs about 30 minutes after eating. This pain happens every time you eat, not just some of the time. People often describe the pain as an aching sensation that lasts from one to two hours. Other possible symptoms include diarrhea, nausea and vomiting. Intestinal angina symptoms are so unpleasant people with this condition often are afraid to eat.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff Treating intestinal angina means restoring blood flow to the intestines. In most cases, doctors thread a catheter (a thin plastic tube) through several arteries until the tip of the catheter is at the site of the blockage.

Then they insert a tiny metal mesh tube (stent) to prop open the artery. (This is very similar to the procedure performed to treat narrowed coronary arteries.) But just like stented coronary arteries, intestinal arteries are prone to re-narrowing. Some people with more advanced disease need surgery.

In rare cases, a blood clot may completely block an intestinal artery. This causes intense abdominal pain that can last for several hours. A complete blockage requires emergency surgery. Otherwise, the part of the intestine that is downstream from the blockage begins to die. If it is not promptly corrected, the condition often is fatal. The parallels to angina of the heart and a full heart attack are clear.

A doctor colleague of mine began to experience abdominal pain after every meal.

At first, he thought it was heartburn. But he began to wonder if it was intestinal angina.

Then one night he was awakened by more severe pain in the same part of his abdomen.

He hadn’t eaten in seven hours. Fortunately, he realized what was happening, went to the emergency room and then promptly to surgery. They removed a part of his intestine that had died and saved his life.

when you see someone who is panhandling.

The woman you saw could have been homeless, drug-addicted, short on money or mentally ill. She also could have fled an abusive husband or partner. That’s why it’s inappropriate to scold or lecture a panhandler.

If you had said anything at all, you might have offered there are dozens of shelters and organizations in Irvine that help the unfortunate, and if she reached out to them, she might find the help she needs to get settled and find a job.

Dear Abby: My 6-year-old grandson, “Joey,” is the light of my life. He’s outgoing, compassionate, smart and fun. The “problem” is, he prefers girl things to boy things, and has since he was old enough to express his wants. Fashion, makeup, hairstyles – he is the expert. His parents grumble, but realize he can be who he is and be happy, or they can try to change him and he will turn out to be neurotic.

The issue is with the father of a friend of his who will not accept who Joey is. The man yells at Joey for playing with girl things and tells his son to tell on Joey when he does girl things.

Abby, this man is the principal of a middle school. As a retired educator, I want to speak with him about his behavior and the effect it can have on a young child. What could I say that might make him realize this is not only detrimental to Joey, but to all those young minds he helps to shape on a daily basis? –

Dear Abby: DEAR ABBY I went to the market the other Jeanne day, and there Phillips was a woman sitting on the sidewalk with two children – a boy who looked to be about 6 and a girl about 2. She was holding a sign asking for help ($). I wanted so badly to say something to her about what a poor example she was setting for her children by begging. It made me angry because I imagine she’s using her children as “props” to evoke sympathy.

This is a nice area. I would think she could better present herself to her children by looking for a job. What would have been an appropriate comment to make to her that might help put her on the right track to show her children how to grow up to be responsible people who work for a living? – Looking Out

GAME 7

CUBS’ BATS AWAKEN TO EVEN WORLD SERIES / 2-4

The Cubs’ Addison Russell celebrates Tuesday after his grand slam against the Cleveland Indians during the third inning of Game 6 of the World Series in Cleveland.

3 Series tied, 3-3

Fittingly, we’re going to Game 7 CLEVELAND – And so it comes down to one night. So close you can touch it and so far that it seems light years away. OK, 108 years away.

The Cubs, refusing to act like so many Cubs teams that have come before, jumped on the Indians in a 9-3, Game 6 victory VIEWS Tuesday night, Rick Morrissey squeezing the World Series to the last drop. Addison Russell took late batting practice, knocking in six runs, four coming on a spirit-crushing grand slam.

A Game 7 involving the long-suffering Chicago Cubs and the long-suffering Cleveland Indians to decide which team finally gets sprung from its respective prison cell. Who thought up this ridiculous storyline? Someone with a sense of humor and a mean streak. When it’s all over, one team is not going to know what to do with itself, and the other is going to walk away crushed – again.

“It’s just correct and apt that we’d go seven games,” Cubs manager Joe Maddon said.

If Tuesday was any indication, it will be the Cubs who will be partying Wednesday night. On the other hand, forget Game 6. The Indians will pitch Corey Kluber, not Josh Tomlin, who might as well have thrown underhanded to the Cubs on Tuesday.

This was so ridiculously easy that you have to believe the Indians, who haven’t won a World Series since 1948, will be feeling most of the pressure Wednesday night at home. And the Cubs, a team that hasn’t won a World Series since 1908? They had the weight of the world on them after falling behind, 3-1, in the series. It’s fair to ask whether their pressure-packed Game 5 victory at Wrigley Field changed everything for both teams. The Cubs have the look of a team that knows it has discovered the secret to life.

So, Game 7. With everything on the line, in the most important game in Cubs history. Of course.

“It’s every kid’s dream,” said Russell, who, at 22, would know. “It all comes down to Game 7.”

Whatever happens, feel free to feel blessed. Kluber, who won Games 1 and 4, vs. Kyle Hendricks, who had the lowest earned-run average in the majors this season. You can’t ask for better.

But let’s not blow past Game 6 in the

Ben Zobrist collides with Indians catcher Roberto Perez as he scores one of the Cubs’ three runs in the first inning Tuesday in Cleveland.

World Series Cubs vs. Indians (Best-of-7) Game 1 Indians 6, Cubs 0 Game 2 Cubs 5, Indians 1 Game 3 Indians 1, Cubs 0 Game 4 Indians 7, Cubs 2 Game 5 Cubs 3, Indians 2 Game 6 Cubs 9, Indians 3 Game 7: Wednesday Cubs at Indians, 7 p.m., FOX rush to get to Game 7. By the time Jake Arrieta walked to the mound in the first, the Cubs were up, 3-0, thanks to Kris Bryant’s solo home run and some slapstick fielding by the Indians.

Tomlin was gone after 21/3 innings, replaced by Dan Otero, who gave up the

grand slam to Russell. It was the first by a Cub in World Series history, not that there has been a lot of it. Russell’s six RBIs tied the World Series record. The lead was 7-0.

Clearly, someone forgot to tell the Cubs they were the ones who were supposed to be on their heels.

“I love this team when our back is against the wall,” Bryant said. “We saw it two days ago, and we saw it [Tuesday].”

With a 7-2 lead in the seventh, Maddon went to closer Aroldis Chapman, just as he had in Game 5. He saw the meat of the Indians’ order coming up, and he saw his baseball life flash before his eyes.

“To me, the game could have been lost right there,” Maddon said.

“At least Chapman had to pitch,” Indians manager Terry Francona said.

“Maybe that helps us.”

Or maybe it doesn’t.

“He’s a very strong young man,” Maddon said of the possibility of Chapman pitching in Game 7.

Anthony Rizzo’s two-run homer in the ninth fell somewhere between piling

on and showing off. That’s how silly this was for a do-or-die game. The Cubs got a nice effort from Arrieta, who gave up two runs and struck out nine in 52/3 innings. Bryant had four hits, Rizzo three.

OK, forget about Game 6. That is so yesterday. “[Wednesday] is a day that you kind of have to put it out on the table,” Russell said. “I wouldn’t even say the luckiest is going to win. It’s the people who come up in the big situations, the guys that make the routine plays and the guys that make the spectacular plays to avoid the big inning. I think that’s going to be the difference makers.”

Before the game, Hendricks talked about how he planned to approach Wednesday’s game, if it would be necessary. (It very much will be.)

“Approach it like any other game, simple thoughts, the same old thing,” he said.

Same old thing? A World Series Game 7 involving the Cubs? Right.

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com CLEVELAND – After 108 years, two weeks and four days, it has all come down to this for these Cubs who would write their own history: A Game 7 appearance almost as rare as the championship itself.

“You dream for this, man,” Kris Bryant said.

A record-tying performance by the youngest Cub on the field, and a 97mph pitching start by the baddest, gave the Cubs a 9-3 victory over the Cleveland Indians in Game 6 of the World Series and assured that Nov. 2 will be a date long remembered by one of these star-crossed franchises.

“It’s just correct and apt that we’d go seven games,” said manager Joe Maddon, who brought his closer, Aroldis Chapman, into the game in the seventh inning for the second elimination game in a row.

Shortstop Addison Russell, 22, hit the first Cubs grand slam in World Series history and tied a World Series record with six RBIs, and starter Jake Arrieta was powerful again into the sixth to become the first since Bob Gibson to win two road starts in a World Series.

But it will be what comes next that will make the history these guys keep talking about writing.

“I hope it’s not difficult to sleep,” Russell said.

After 209 games from March through the six-month season and a month of playoffs, every target they embraced, every ghost they dismissed, every reason all those free agents took less money to sign comes down one night in November in Cleveland.

It’s the third Game 7 in franchise history. Both of the others were losses, most recently in the 2003 National League Championship Series against the Marlins; the other was the last time the Cubs reached the World Series, in

The Cubs’ Kris Bryant hits a home run in the first inning of Game 6 of the World Series on Tuesday in Cleveland. Bryant had four hits in the Cubs’ 9-3 win.

1945 against the Tigers.

“I don’t even think we’re really thinking about that,” Russell said. “A lot of us are going into tomorrow thinking it’s just another game. That’s the approach that we’ve been taking this whole season, and look where we are.”

Of course, it’s not just another game.

Just ask the only player in the Cubs’ clubhouse who has played a Game 7 – 2002 Game 7 starter John Lackey.

“People that try to tell you it’s just another game are lying to you,” Lack-

ey said. “You’re going to feel different.

There’s going to be some different emotions. You’ve got to embrace that. Don’t fight it. You just try to use those and channel them in the right direction.”

For the Cubs to win their third World Series title, first since 1908, they have to beat former Cy Young winner Corey Kluber for the first time after losing Games 1 and 4 to him. Kluber is pitching on short rest for the second consecutive start.

The Cubs counter with Kyle Hen-

dricks, who went from fifth starter to leading the majors in ERA in the span of six months this season.

If the Cubs win Wednesday, they’ll become the sixth team to come back from a 3-1 deficit in the World Series to win.

The last to do it: the Royals in 1985 against the Cardinals.

The last to do it on the road: the Pirates in 1979 against the Orioles.

“Anybody who plays this game grows up dreaming of winning a World Series,” said Bryant, whose four-hit night included a first-inning homer.

“We get to play in a Game 7 [Wednesday]. That’s pretty special.

“But we can’t get too far ahead of ourselves. When we were down 3-1, it was take it a game at a time and try to get to Game 7,” he added. “[Wednesday] we’re going to be there, and it’s nice to kind of build off of these last two games with momentum.”

Tuesday’s victory improved the franchise’s mark in postseason elimination games to 8-15.

Arrieta pitched two outs deep into the sixth in another strong start in Cleveland, retiring nine of the first 10 he faced, and beating the Indians for the second time this series.

3 Series tied, 3-3

Maddon sticks with Baez’s glove ​By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com CLEVELAND – Cubs manager Joe Maddon might have flirted with a lineup change or two for Game 6 of the World Series, but one he did not consider was taking Javy Baez and his slumping bat out of it.

Not with that glove. Not with his run prevention skill at second base, especially with seven of nine Indians hitters swinging from the left side against Cubs right-hander Jake Arrieta on Tuesday night.

“You’re looking for that one hit maybe, as compared to maybe the ball being in play I don’t know how many times [to Baez] in that spot,” said Maddon before his team forced a seventh and deciding game at Progressive Field with a 9-3 victory.

The same would be said for right fielder Jason Heyward playing 125 feet or so behind Baez in right field. Scuffling bat, but a valuable glove.

Defense matters, especially for a team struggling to scrape together runs like the Cubs.

“Jason’s hitting eighth, [Baez is] hitting ninth,”Maddon said. “Two of the best defenders in the National League.

Cubs manager Joe Maddon talks to Javy Baez before Game 6 of the World Series against the Indians on Tuesday in Cleveland.

It’s hard to walk away from that right now.’’

And when the Cubs erupted for a 7-0 lead after three innings behind Kris Bryant’s homer, Addison Russell’s grand slam and two-run double, Baez’s bat suddenly became less of an issue, and

Maddon had his best defense in place to protect the lead, which came into play when Heyward came in to catch Jose Ramirez’s sinking liner in the fourth when the Indians had Arrieta on the ropes before settling for one run, leaving the bases loaded.

Baez, arguably the most valuable player in the NLDS against the Giants (there is no such award) and the actual co-MVP with Jon Lester in the NLCS, seems to have completely lost it offensively in the World Series, chasing breaking balls out of the strike zone like a cat lunging at a ball of yarn. In Game 6 against Josh Tomlin, he grounded out to second baseman Jason Kipnis, chased a high fastball from Danny Salazer for his 10th strikeout of the World Series and on an 0-2 slider from Jeff Manship reached on an infield single up the middle.

Both Maddon and hitting coach John Mallee had at least one “nice talk” with the 23-year-old Baez before the game.

“We’re still working on him to get him back where he had been,” Maddon said. “Just trying to slow him down a little bit.”

That would be hard to do, considering the breakneck speed toward stardom at which Baez was racing to during the postseason. Exceptional plays in the field and a tag skill like no one can seem to recall seeing before caught the attention of national media and fans everywhere. On top of that, Baez batted .318 with .833 OPS against the Dodgers in the NLCS.

CUBS NOTES

Schwarber batting 2nd might be look at 2017 ​By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com CLEVELAND – Joe Maddon wasn’t looking past trying to win Game 6 of the World Series on Tuesday, but in the process the Cubs’ manager might have offered a glimpse into his lineup plans for April when he put Kyle Schwarber in the No. 2 spot of the order.

Maddon, who used Schwarber in that spot much of his three-month debut last year, said Schwarber’s 3-for-7, two-walk performance as the designated hitter in Games 1 and 2 influenced the decision.

“If we hit him in the five hole again after what he did a couple days ago, they’re not going to pitch to him whatsoever,” Maddon said before the game. The 2-3-4 hitters just moved

down en masse to 3-4-5, keeping the “integrity” of the lineup intact.

Schwarber might be the most celebrated National League designated hitter in World Series history since he became a surprise roster addition for the Series when he was medically cleared to bat and run two Kyle weeks ago.

Schwarber The Cubs had been without their powerful, young left-handed hitter for all but four atbats this season because of a knee injury April 7. They went on to score 808 runs, second only to Colorado in the National League.

“We liked him [at No. 2] before. I really like him there again now, and

you want to force the other team to pitch to him,” Maddon said. “Normally he’s going to have a high on-base percentage. He’s a good base runner – not the fastest guy out there, but a good base runner.”

With leadoff man Dexter Fowler a potential free agent, Schwarber near the top of the order could be an especially significant addition to next year’s lineup. He’s expected to play left field next year.

“Not knowing what’s going to happen with Dexter; Schwarber’s going to add a lot of offense, a lot of power,” Maddon said. “And just his presence – his presence matters, how he is, how everybody feeds off him.

“All those ancillary benefits are hard to evaluate in advance, but I think you’re going to feel them next year.”

Flash to Indians past: The last surviving player on the last Indians team to win a World Series, Eddie Robinson, 95, was in attendance for Game 6.

Robinson, a first baseman, drove in the series-clinching run in the eighth inning of Game 6 off Warren Spahn of the Boston Braves.

“We didn’t celebrate like they do today,” Robinson said. “Once we got on the train, that’s when the party started. The next day, the champagne was dripping from the ceiling. I think [team owner] Bill Veeck, that cost him a few thousand dollars to put those cars back in shape.”

Lou Boudreau, the AL MVP that year and a Harvey native, was the player-manager of that team. He would become a popular Cubs broadcaster after his Hall of Fame playing career was over.

BOYS SOCCER: CLASS 3A BARTLETT SUPERSECTIONAL

First trip to state eludes Eagles again

By JOHN WILKINSON jwilkinson@shawmedia.com

• Wednesday, November 2, 2016

STREAMWOOD – As Conant celebrated and took pictures in the distance, Jacobs coach AJ Cappello tried to remind his team and its 11 seniors, many staring blankly into the distance, of everything they had done leading up to Tuesday night.

“Next to tryouts, this is the hardest day of any year, when the season ends,” Cappello said. “You’ve just got to try and remind them of all the great things they accomplished this season and remind them of everything they brought to the program and everything they did for each other and the experiences they provided for each other by showing up day in and day out and putting in the work. ... It ain’t easy, but you just try to bring that back into the forefront of their brains and help soften the blow.”

Conant scored four times in the second half to beat Jacobs, 5-1, in the Class 3A Bartlett Supersectional at Streamwood High School. The Cougars advance to the state semifinals Friday, while Jacobs (16-5-4) falls in the supersectionals for the second time in program history, matching its furthest advancement in the playoffs.

“It’s hard,” Jacobs junior Noah Melick said. “We knew we had it going in. We thought we had it and came out slow. It didn’t work for us; went their way.”

Melick sent a header just wide in the third minute and had a good chance in the 24th minute, but Conant began to settle into the match and continuously looked dangerous from set pieces.

The Cougars went ahead in the 28th minute when Jacobs couldn’t clear a corner kick, and the ensuing scramble ended with Mateusz Pasula scoring.

“The first 10 minutes I feel like we had a lot of chances, and then it switched to them. They had the majority of chances in the last 30 minutes,” Melick said. “Then, I don’t know, the nerves kind of got to us when they got two more goals.”

Early in the second half, Conant scored twice in a three-minute span to stretch the lead. First, Sota Ono wove

By ALEX KANTECKI akantecki@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – As Crystal Lake Central’s volleyball team fell behind by four points in the second set of Tuesday’s Class 4A Huntley Sectional semifinal against Prairie Ridge, Tigers junior Emily Kelly gave her case to see the next ball sent her way.

“It’s kind of rare that I get set off of serve-receive just because of situations we Emily Kelly get put in and the players I’m up against,” Kelly said. “I kind of just looked at my setter. I was like, ‘You need to set me.

We need to get this next point.’

“She gave me a perfect set, and I just knew I was going to put it down.”

And she did.

Kelly’s smash out of a timeout stopped any momentum Prairie Ridge had and breathed new life into the Tigers. Central scored four consecutive points and outlasted the Wolves in a 25-21, 25-21 sweep.

The second-seeded Tigers (26-8) advance to Thursday’s sectional final against No. 5 seed DeKalb, which came back to beat top-seeded Huntley, 19-25, 25-21, 25-12, in the first semifinal.

“After the timeout, [Kelly] came out and pounded that one,” assistant coach Jason LeBlanc said. “That was the turning point. When she hit that, everything just started going our way.”

Kelly finished with six kills and added 11 digs, while freshman outside hitter Camryn Hausler led Central’s attack with seven kills. Junior Megan Kelly added five kills, junior setter Olivia Doak passed out 17 assists, and junior libero Kendall Lownds led the defense with 13 digs.

Madde Blake added a pair of aces and four kills.

“We started coming together as a team, and we started picking each other up,” Emily Kelly said.

“I couldn’t be more proud of these girls and everybody on our staff for stepping up and helping out,” Brunstrum said. “They had such great rhythm from regionals last week and from practice yesterday when I talked to them for a little bit. I wasn’t going to mess with that.”

While Central gained momentum, Prairie Ridge (20-14) suffered from untimely errors. Leading 17-16 in the second, the Wolves committed three straight errors to give back the lead for good.

“They battled back and we made a lot of unforced errors,” Wolves coach Stefanie Otto said. “I told them they have room to grow. They have moments of brilliance, and then they have these mental lapses where they lose focus. Those are things we have talked about all year.”

DeKalb used an 8-0 run in the second set to overtake the Raiders (278) for good. In the third, the Barbs jumped out to a 5-0 lead, and Huntley never recovered.

“We gave away too many points,” said Huntley senior Ally Dion, who finished her high school career with eight kills. “We knew they could put the balls away. They’re a strong team.

We just gave them too much confidence in that second game where we should have just finished it.”

Freshman setter Taylor Jakubowski led Huntley offensively with 11 kills and 22 assists, Aleah Amelio added 15 digs, Julia Johnson had seven kills, and Sarah Zayas had 11 digs.

“It could have been over in Game 2, but our serve-receive fell apart,” Red Raiders coach Karen Naymola said. “We had three or four mistakes in a row that really hasn’t been like us. You can’t give good teams three or four points and not expect them to come back and build confidence.”

Huntley won the Fox Valley Conference for the first time in school history this year and had bigger aspirations in the playoffs after winning its third regional title in the past four years.

“We lost our confidence,” senior Caitlin Thorelius said. “We came in that first set with all of the confidence in the world, even in the second set.

We still played with all of our hearts.

We were still trying and fighting the best we could. Some things just don’t work out.”

Faith Lutheran showed some nerves early, and after a few errors, the Saints trailed, 4-1. The teams exchanged a few points before Faith Lutheran (15-11) settled in and started to play its game. The Saints built their lead behind the serving and net play of senior Natalie Borman. Borman served five points in a row and had four kills in the opening set. Faith Lutheran pulled away, as junior Anna Weldon had three consecutive aces.

“We could have played a lot better, but we were able to get the win and gain some experience,” Weldon said.

“We definitely need to improve, but it’s great that we get to keep playing.”

Bouagnon scores 5 TDs in victory Huskies keep bowl hopes alive

gaining the Falcons, 176-41. Maddie went 9 for 10 with 92 yards, and Bouagnon had 52 rushing yards to go along with his two scores.

“The execution was good and we were controlling the line of scrimmage on both sides,” Carey said. “I don’t think you can have that if you’re defense isn’t getting off the field, too. You have to control both sides to get that kind of performance out of your team.”

The Huskies added a 41-yard field goal by Christian Hagan and a 2-yard touchdown run by Maddie in the second quarter to take a 24-13 lead into halftime. Maddie sat out the final two drives of the second half after his touchdown run, but returned after halftime.

After Bouagnon added his third touchdown run of the game – this one coming on a 2-yard rush – Bowling Green cut it to 31-20 late in the third quarter on a highlight-reel catch by Teo Redding in the left corner of the end zone. Bouagnon upped the lead in the final minute of the third quarter, breaking off a 15-yard touchdown run up the middle for his fourth score of the game.

In the final minute of the game, Bouagnon capped his scoring with a 6-yard touchdown run for his fifth of the game.

The Huskies will play in the ChiTown Showdown on Nov. 9 at Guaranteed Rate Field against Toledo, which lost last week at home to Ohio, 31-26.

By JESSE SEVERSON jseverson@shawmedia.com DeKALB – The Mid-American Conference Championship wasn’t on the line, but Northern Illinois will take the win.

NIU senior running back Joel Bouagnon scored a career-high five rushing touchdowns Tuesday night, and the Huskies cruised to a 45-20 win over Bowling Green on senior night at Huskie Stadium.

It was a battle between the teams that had faced off in the past three MAC Championships, with the Falcons winning in 2013 and 2015. However, the Falcons (1-8 overall, 0-5 MAC East) continue to struggle in the first year under coach Mike Jinks, while the Huskies (3-6, 3-2 MAC West) kept their hopes for a bowl game alive with the victory.

“Obviously really happy about the outcome, and it was good to get out to a fast start,” NIU coach Rod Carey said.

“We controlled the line of scrimmage and we made critical plays when we had to.”

The Huskies outgained the Falcons, 479-314, and the 45 points are a season high – Bowling Green came into the game ranked last in the conference in points allowed per game (45.1) and yards allowed per game (507.9). The 314 yards allowed also are a season low for the Huskies’ defense.

It was a big night for the NIU senior playmakers, making their final appearance at Huskie Stadium.

Bouagnon had 134 rushing yards to go with his five TDs after coming into the game with only one rushing score in the first eight games of the season.

Senior quarterback Anthony Maddie went 20 for 29 with 185 yards and added 93 rushing yards and a touchdown. He connected with senior Kenny Golladay nine times for 59 yards, and senior Aregeros Turner had five catches for 56 yards.

“The mindset was not to let them get the explosive play,” Jinks said. “You go back and look at the drives they put together the last few weeks, I think the longest one was like two minutes, 13 seconds or something crazy like that.”

The NIU defense added two interceptions by Mycial Allen and Jackson Abresch. The Huskies have eight picks in the past three games. For Bowling Green, which has lost seven in a row, it has thrown 22 interceptions, which is easily the worst in the MAC.

Northern Illinois senior running back Joel Bouagnon fights off a Bowling Green defender Tuesday night at Huskie Stadium in DeKalb. Bouagnon rushed for 134 yards and had a career-high five touchdowns in the Huskies’ 45-20 Mid-American Conference victory.

Bowling Green red-shirt freshman quarterback James Morgan went 21 for 41 with 224 yards, three touchdowns and an interception. The other interception came from punter Joe Davidson on a trick play in the third quarter.

The Huskies’ special teams also came up with a pair of blocked kicks – William Lee blocked an extra point, and Josh Corcoran blocked a 49-yard field goal attempt by Bowling Green’s Jake Suder. Senior defensive end Austin Smaha also had two sacks and two forced fumbles in his final game at Huskie Stadium.

“We had a longer week to prepare, so I know a lot of people got in to watch extra film,” Smaha said. “I felt like most of the time, we knew what they were going to do.”

The Huskies didn’t waste much time jumping out on the Falcons. After NIU forced a three-and-out to open the game, the Huskies went 75 yards on nine plays – capped by a 14-yard touchdown run by Bouagnon. The Huskies had four plays of 10 yards or more on the drive, including a 21-yard reception by Aregeros Turner that set up Bouagnon’s touchdown.

After the Falcons tied it on a 2-yard touchdown pass by Morgan, the Huskies went on an 11-play, 80-yard drive that ended with a 1-yard touchdown run by Bouagnon to put them ahead, 14-7 – which is the most points they have scored in the first quarter this season.

It was a dominating performance by the Huskies in the first quarter, out-

caught 12 passes for a MAC-record 272 yards with three touchdowns to help Western Michigan rout Ball State.

The Broncos (9-0, 5-0 MAC, No. 23 CFP) won their 11th straight game, the longest streak in school history. The previous record of 10 had stood since 1941.

Broncos quarterback Zach Terrell went 23 of 34 for 367 yards, with Davis getting open all night and making the big plays look routine.

“He always makes my job easy and he makes me look good,” Terrell said.

“It was an elite effort, and I couldn’t be prouder of this guy. He deserves that record.”

Ball State (4-5, 1-4) never had a chance.

The Cardinals played without injured starting quarterback Riley Neal.

His replacement, Jack Milas, went 20 of 38 for 197 yards with one touchdown.

But he also threw two interceptions in the first half, one of which was returned by Darius Phillips’ 75 yards for his third score off an interception this season.

The Blackhawks’ Richard Panik slides into the goal as the Calgary Flames’ Dougie Hamilton (right) and goalie Brian Elliott watch during the first period Tuesday at the United Center. are just starting out one of the tougher stretches of the season. Tuesday’s game against Calgary was part of six games in 10 nights. After Thursday’s game against Colorado, the Hawks will play nine of their next 12 on the road, including the seven-game Circus Trip.

They’re 4-0-1 in their past five games.

“We’ve got some home-ice advantages here that we want to take advantage

of, knowing that we’ve got a real tough road schedule at the end of the month,” coach Joel Quenneville said before the game. “We know the standings are tight and everybody’s kind of bunched up in the same type of place, so hopefully we can put ourselves in a better spot here.”

The Hawks are by no means flawless, and they’re hardly content. After Sunday’s thorough 3-0 victory over the Los

Angeles Kings, the Hawks took a bit of a step back against Calgary. Although Patrick Kane’s dangling, dancing 1-on3 goal with 1:02 left in the first period gave them a 1-0 lead at intermission, the Hawks were outshot, 13-6, in the first, the eighth time in 10 games that’s happened.

The Hawks continued to chase the puck in the second period, and the Flames tied it on a short-handed goal by former Hawks penalty-killer Michael Frolik. But Artem Anisimov extended his point streak to eight games with a power-play goal at 7:44 of the third, redirecting a perfect Kane centering feed past Brian Elliott to make it 2-1.

HAWKS NOTES

Speedy Hinostroza learns from 4-game benching

By MARK LAZERUS mlazerus@suntimes.com CHICAGO – Vinnie Hinostroza has NHL speed, without any question. It’s what he does with that speed that matters.

And through his first four games, he wasn’t doing much with it.

“I was just chipping it away and trying to chase it,” Hinostroza said. “I was doing a lot Vinnie of chasing. The Hawks, Hinostroza we play a big control game. We like to have the puck a lot. I think that fits into my game, but I was kind of fighting it early on.”

Through those first four games, Hinostroza managed only one shot on goal and was largely a nonfactor. That earned him a four-game benching, one that coach Joel Quenneville admitted

Tuesday morning was “probably a little too long.” But Hinostroza made the best of being scratched, watching the games from above and putting in extra work after practices and morning skates.

And when he returned to the lineup Sunday night against Los Angeles as a fourth-liner, he looked noticeably better, more aggressive and more patient with the puck.

“Four games is a long time,” Hinostroza said. “But it was a learning experience. I was watching all our players during the games, and I was working with the coaches after practice on things I needed to work on.”

The American Hockey League, where Hinostroza spent last season, is a chip-and-chase league, largely because of the drop-off in talent after the top couple of lines on each team. But in the NHL, particularly for a puck-possession team such as the Hawks, chipand-chase needs to be a last resort, not

a first choice. Hinostroza believes he’s already put that style behind him.

“It’s not hard; that’s how I’ve played my whole life,” Hinostroza said of carrying the puck through the neutral zone and into the offensive zone. “It’s just a little bit faster. All these guys have been in the league for so long, so they know what plays are going to work and what plays aren’t going to work. So I think for us [rookies] it’s just a learning experience. And sitting out those games and watching and working after practice, it helped me realize what’s going to work and what I have time to do.”

Forsling in: Gustav Forsling returned to the lineup after missing two games with an upper-body injury suffered when Calgary’s Lance Bouma hit him face-first into the glass last week.

“You always want to play every day and go full,” Forsling said. “But I think this has been good for me. I’ve

been thinking a lot how it went earlier, and re-evaluating myself. Of course, it’s been tough, but I see the good in it.”

With Forsling back in, Michal Kempny – not Michal Rozsival – was scratched. That’s partly because Forsling and Kempny both play the left side.

But it’s also because Quenneville has been pleased with Rozsival’s play in the past three games, his first games of the season.

“His minutes or his games played will probably be down a little bit this year, but I still like the way he’s come in and played,” Quenneville said.

“That’s why we’re keeping him in the lineup right now. He’s coming off real solid games, and he’s got a little bite to his game, as well.”

Desjardins close: Quenneville said Andrew Desjardins, who suffered an apparent foot injury in the preseason finale, could return for Sunday’s home game against Dallas.

CHICAGO – If you’re wondering, yes, the Blackhawks always do keep an eye on the standings, even in the early weeks of the long season. And after a quick look around the Central Division – universally hailed as the NHL’s toughest – before Tuesday’s 5-1 victory against the Calgary Flames, that stumbling start by the Hawks doesn’t look all that bad.

The Nashville Predators, the trendy pick to come out of the Western Conference, are jockeying with the injury-ravaged Dallas Stars, the reigning division champs, for last place. Minnesota and St. Louis rode red-hot starts to the top of the division, but are likely to regress to the mean. Colorado and Winnipeg are fair to middling, as usual.

And then there are the Hawks – with all those rookies on the roster, with all those terrible first periods, with all those power-play goals surrendered – suddenly tied for first place.

And starting to round into form, no less.

“We had some ups and downs early in the season, but hopefully we can build off the last couple of games and just turn it in the right direction,” Brent Seabrook said.

Their timing couldn’t be better. After a loose schedule in October, the Hawks

Texas A&M No. 4 behind ’Bama, Clemson, Michigan

By RALPH D. RUSSO The Associated Press Texas A&M was ranked fourth behind Alabama, Clemson and Michigan in the season’s first College Football Playoff rankings.

The Aggies (7-1) surprisingly were a spot ahead of unbeaten Washington on Tuesday in the first of six selection committee rankings. The Crimson Tide (8-0), Tigers (8-0), Wolverines (8-0) and Huskies (8-0) are the only remaining undefeated teams from Power Five conferences and hold the top four spots in the latest Associated Press poll.

The 12-person committee, however, gave a nod to Texas A&M’s strength of schedule.

Ohio State was sixth and Louisville was seventh.

In the first two seasons of the College Football Playoff, only one team each season made the committee’s initial top four and the final four.

The final rankings will be released Dec. 4, with the top four teams moving on to the College Football Playoff semifinals

on Dec. 31 at the Fiesta and Peach bowls.

Selection committee chairman Kirby Hocutt, Texas Tech’s athletic director who is now in the role that Arkansas AD Jeff Long held the firsts two seasons of the CFP, made it very clear that Texas A&M’s four victories against teams with winning records (Auburn, Arkansas, Tennessee and South Carolina – although it should be noted the Gamecocks are 4-4) provided the margin over Washington. The Huskies have two such victories.

“We had a lengthy discussion on the spot,” Hocutt said. “Washington is a well-balanced team and they had a good win on the road against Utah. But in the committee’s mind Texas A&M has played a stronger schedule.”

The good news is there is room for the Huskies to grow. Washington still has USC and Washington State on its schedule and a possible Pac-12 championship game, which could be against Utah (16th in the committee’s rankings), Colorado (15th) or USC, which would need a strong finish to get there. A big stretch run by Stanford would also help the Huskies.

Howard, O-line finish job

By KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@profootballweekly.com

CHICAGO – The game should have been in hand. With 5:41 to go Monday night against the Minnesota Vikings, the Bears had the ball with a 10-point lead, but finishing has been an issue.

This would have been the time for the Vikings’ front seven to play as advertised, as it has all season, stop- Jordan Howard ping the Bears on three straight plays to get the ball back and try to score again.

Instead, Jordan Howard and the offensive line – without two Pro Bowlers – continued their strong effort, sealing the 20-10 upset victory.

“That’s a great defense, one of the top run defenses in the league right now,” offensive lineman Cody Whitehair said.

“Jordan did well, the line blocked well and everyone blocked well on the perimeter.”

The final drive began with an 11-yard run, then 11 yards on two carries for another first down, and suddenly 2:40 had been taken off the clock, and the game

was in hand.

“That felt good,” said left guard Eric Kush, who played very well stepping in for Josh Sitton. “When you get into a four-minute [drill], you see a lot of teams struggle to get yards. The defense is coming because they need the ball back.

It was a real good confidence booster that we were able to run the ball and run some time off that clock.”

On second-and-10, Jay Cutler fooled the Vikings with an easy play-action pass to tight end Zach Miller for 13 yards. Howard rumbled for 10 more against the tired defense to take it to the two-minute warning.

The run game got its spark in the first quarter with Howard’s 69-yard run, and he proved that was no fluke, going off for 153 rushing yards, the second-most against the Vikings in the past 13 seasons. This was a defense that had yet to allow any running back to gain 60 yards this season, and the rookie fifthround draft pick – who had been held in check the past two games – had a night to remember.

“You can see how much he’s grown,” Cutler said. “He’s like a four- or five-year vet back there. He doesn’t get fazed. He’s got great vision, and that’s kind of come along in these last six or seven games.”

8 tweaks to make good-for-you foods even better when combined

By CARA ROSENBLOOM The Washington Post I find it fascinating to see the depth of information researchers can learn about the food we eat. Beyond the nutritional value of meals, scientists are working to uncover how certain foods should be eaten, what they should be combined with and how they are best absorbed. It’s a lot of science to take in, but I’ve waded through the research to uncover these eight amazing tweaks to make “good-foryou” foods even better at your next meal.

be sprouted before they are milled and baked into bread. That means the grain seed is allowed to germinate or “sprout,” and this process has several benefits. It produces grains with more protein, fiber, antioxidants, B-vitamins, vitamin C and iron. It also helps rid grains of certain “anti-nutrients” such as phytic acid and tannins, which can hinder mineral absorption. Sprouted-grain breads also have a lower glycemic index than regular breads, making them a better choice than regular bread for balancing blood sugar levels.

Making curry? Add black pepper

Turmeric, the spice that gives curry powder its distinctive yellow color, is being studied for its ability to halt the production of cancer cells. Turmeric contains the potent antioxidant curcumin, which is the active ingredient with anti-cancer potential. Curcumin is not well absorbed by the body, but a sprinkle of black pepper can enhance curcumin absorption by over 2,000 percent. Just a pinch of pepper – literally one-twentieth of a teaspoon – is all you need to see this benefit.

It’s no coincidence the much-lauded Mediterranean diet includes both wine and fish for cardiovascular health. It turns out people who enjoy a glass of red or white wine when they eat fish have higher levels of heart-healthy omega-3 fats in their blood. And that’s a good thing – high blood concentration of omega-3 fat is protective against coronary heart disease, stroke and sudden cardiac death. Not a wine drinker? Try using it in a marinade or sauce for your fish instead.

Making a salad? Toss in hard-boiled eggs

Salad vegetables such as carrots, lettuce and sweet peppers boast huge antioxidant potential, but it needs to be unlocked. The key may be eggs. Studies show adding cooked eggs to salad can help you absorb up to eight times more antioxidants such as beta-carotene, which help reduce inflammation that leads to diabetes, arthritis and heart disease. Egg whites won’t work, since it’s the fat in the yolk that matters. Not a fan of eggs? Other fat-containing foods that can boost antioxidants in salads are avocado, almonds, pumpkin seeds or an oil-based salad dressing.

Eating an apple? Don’t peel it

The same goes for cucumbers, potatoes, peaches and kiwi (yes, you can totally eat the kiwi peel). Most of the antioxidants, vitamins and fiber in vegetables and fruit are found in and adjacent to the peel, so tossing it away is a huge waste of nutrients. In the case of apples, a major component of the peel is quercetin, which is an antioxidant associated with a decreased risk of Type 2 diabetes. Toss the peel, and you toss the benefits.

Cooking with garlic? Chop it and wait

Garlic’s cell structure contains a

compound called allicin and an enzyme called alliinase. Separately, they have little potential. But once you mince garlic, these two components come into contact and create allicin, a powerful antioxidant that can kill cancer cells and prevent new ones from forming.

After you mince or chop garlic, wait 10 minutes to allow allicin to form. The finer you chop your garlic, the more allicin will be produced. Caution: this also enhances the potent flavor, so keep breath mints handy.

Preparing tomato sauce?

Use olive oil

Raw foodists take note – some foods provide more nutritional value when they are cooked. Tomatoes are one example – they contain the antioxidant lycopene, but it’s better absorbed by the body when tomatoes are heated and fat is added.

Tomato sauce (even when used on pizza) is a smart combination of cooked tomatoes with olive oil. The lycopene in tomatoes has been associated with lowering cholesterol levels and may have anti-inflammatory effects, meaning it must be absorbed to be functional. Without heat and oil, lycopene is not well absorbed by the body.

Drinking green tea? Add a splash of citrus

With its mellow taste, green tea is enhanced by a squeeze of fresh orange, lemon or lime juice. But it’s about more than flavor. A study out of Purdue University showed our ability to digest catechins – the antioxidants found in green tea – is enhanced by citrus. By adding citrus juice to green tea, you can increase digestion of catechins from 20 percent up to 98 percent.

That’s important because catechins have been shown to protect against heart disease, cancer and Alzheimer’s disease.

Experts question candy, soda makers’ presence at dietitians’ conference The ASSOCIATED PRESS BOSTON – Among the hundreds of exhibits at a conference where dietitians can earn credits for continuing education, many focused on items such as beans, eggs, strawberries and leafy greens.

But big packaged food makers and trade groups also had a presence, emblematic of the complex ties between the food industry and nutritionists and a push by critics to bring greater

awareness to corporate influence on the profession.

PepsiCo brought a vending machine stocked with Quaker bars, Naked juices and reduced-fat Doritos. Unilever showcased Hellmann’s spreads and offered samples of Breyer’s ice cream. Nestle displayed bottled water, Nesquik chocolate drinks and Butterfingers candies. A Sugar Association pamphlet suggested sprinkling sugar on vegetables for picky children.

While the influence of food corpora-

tions on the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and its 75,000 members has come under greater scrutiny, some see growing sensitivity to ethical and conflict-of-interest issues.

“It’s been an important topic in the pharmaceutical world, and now it’s becoming a much more important topic in the nutrition world,” said David Wiss, a member of Dietitians for Professional Integrity, which has called on the academy to show greater independence from the food industry.

By SARA MOULTON The Associated Press Any number of tasks may strike you as easy as pie, but anyone who’s ever actually made a pie can tell you it actually requires some care if you want it to turn out well.

Consider apple pie. Its ingredients are few and elemental: apples, of course, along with sugar, flavoring and pie crust. But choosing the right apples is a serious business. Likewise, you’ll want to do what you can to prevent the apples from shrinking in the pie shell as they cook, which simultaneously makes the bottom crust soggy and creates an unsightly gap between the filling and top crust.

Let’s start with the apples. Some are tart and some are sweet. Happily, autumn is apple season, which means farmers markets (and, to a lesser extent, supermarkets) should be bursting with choices. Buy an assortment, taste each kind and take notes about their flavor, paying particular attention to their sugar level. An apple’s flavor intensifies as it is cooked. Unless you’re nuts about one particular variety, I’d advise you to pick a mix for your pie.

The complexity of the flavors will make the pie that much more interesting.

Some apples turn into mush when they’re cooked, while others hold their shape for days. If you’re not sure which way a given variety will go, here’s a test: Cut a wedge into cubes, combine it with a pinch of sugar and a tablespoon of water, then cook it, covered, over low heat for about 5 minutes, or until just tender. Most varieties will hold their shape, but McIntosh, Macoun, Cortland and Empire will fall apart and turn into applesauce. I recommend adding a few of the fall-apart varieties to your pie.

Their sauciness will moisten and bind the rest of the apples in the filling.

Now, how to prevent that gap? Simple. Gently pre-cook the apples, which drains them of liquid and shrinks their bulk. They’ll shrink no more once they’re added to the pie, which means there’ll be no gap between the filling and the top crust. But don’t toss out that liquid! If you boil it down as detailed below and add it back to the apples, you’ll amp up the apple essence.

divided 1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar 1/4 teaspoon table salt 1 to 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1 teaspoon lemon zest Double batch of pie dough, refrigerated 1 tablespoon heavy cream In a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, toss together all of the apples, 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar, the brown sugar, salt, 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice and lemon zest. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook until the firm apples are just tender when poked with a knife, about 15 minutes. Transfer the apples to a large colander set over a bowl and let them drain for 15 minutes, shaking the colander every so often.

After the apples have drained, add the juices from the bowl to the Dutch oven and simmer until reduced to about 1/2 cup.

In the bowl, combine the reduced juices with the apples. Taste for seasoning and add additional lemon juice if necessary. Cool to room temperature.

Meanwhile, remove 1 disk of dough from the refrigerator and roll it out between 2 large sheets of plastic wrap into a 12-inch circle, about 1/8 inch thick. If the dough becomes soft and/or sticky, return it to the refrigerator and chill until firm. Remove the plastic wrap from one side of the dough and flip it onto a 9-inch pie plate. Remove the second layer of wrap.

Ease the dough down into the plate and press it into the bottom and sides gently without

stretching it. Leave the dough that overhangs the plate in place; chill until the dough is firm, about 30 minutes.

Roll the second disk of dough between 2 large sheets of plastic wrap into a 12-inch circle, about 1/8 inch thick. Chill, leaving the dough between the plastic sheets, until firm, about 30 minutes.

While the dough chills, adjust the oven rack to the lowest position, place an empty rimmed baking sheet on the rack, and heat the oven to 425 degrees F. Remove the pie plate lined with the dough from the refrigerator and spoon the apple mixture into it. Remove the plastic from one side of the remaining dough and flip the dough onto the apples. Remove the second piece of plastic. Trim the excess dough hanging off the edge of the pie plate so it is flush with the edge. Pinch the top and bottom dough rounds firmly together and press them with the tines of a fork.

Cut four 2-inch slits in the top of the dough.

Chill the filled pie for 10 minutes. Brush the surface with the heavy cream, then sprinkle evenly with remaining 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar. Bake the pie on the heated baking sheet until the crust is dark golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes. Transfer the pie to a wire rack and let cool until ready to serve.

Pie Dough

Start to finish: 20 minutes, plus chilling Makes 2 crusts 2 2/3 cups (11½ ounces) all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon table salt 18 tablespoons (2 sticks plus 2 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cold, cut into 1/2-inch cubes 4 to 6 tablespoons ice water In a large bowl, stir together the flour and the salt, then add the butter. Working quickly with your fingertips or a pastry blender, mix the dough until most of mixture resembles a coarse meal, with the rest in small (roughly pea-sized) lumps. Drizzle 4 tablespoons of ice water evenly over the mixture and gently stir with a fork until incorporated. Gently squeeze a small handful: it should hold together without crumbling apart. If it doesn’t, add more ice water, 1/2 tablespoon at a time, stirring 2 or 3 times after each addition until it comes together. (If you overwork the mixture or add too much water, the pastry will be tough.)

Turn the dough out onto a clean work surface and divide into several portions. With the heel of your hand, smear each portion once in a forward motion on the work surface to help distribute the fat. Gather the smeared dough together and form it, rotating it on the work surface, into 2 disks. Chill, wrapped in plastic wrap, until firm, at least 1 hour.

Lemon juice makes chicken bake a breeze

By MELISSA D’ARABIAN The Associated Press Autumn might be the official season of the one-pot wonder. Kids are back in school, the office watercooler gets crowded as we trickle back from summer vacations and suddenly dinnertime feels like more of a timesqueeze.

Busy lives need quick meals that don’t require a ton of prep, crazy ingredients or lots of dishes because the last thing I want to do after a long day of work, kids activities and homework-checking is a counter loaded up with dishes.

Baked dinners are a classic weeknight solution. This basic chicken and potato bake is so simple, you might breeze right past the recipe. But the trick is lots of lemon juice. Half a cup sounds like a ton, but it’s what makes the chicken super flavorful in just minutes. The high acid level gets right into the chicken and tenderizes it, and yet as it bakes, the acid mellows and softens into a gorgeous gentle tang. The second trick to this dinner-in-a-pan is a quick turn in the microwave for some baby potatoes I’m using boneless skinless chicken breast, but you can use pork chops (bone-in recommended) or even fish.

2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme salt and pepper

Baked Chicken and Potato Dinner AP photo

My weeknight strategy: pop this pan into the oven, toss together a green salad, and set the table while the chicken cooks. Easy, healthy, and even comforting in a fall-night sort of way.

Baked Chicken and Potato Dinner Start to finish: 30 minutes Servings: 4

1/2 cup lemon juice 3 tablespoons olive oil 1 teaspoon granulated garlic, or 1 garlic clove, minced 1 pound fingerling potatoes, cleaned 1½ pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, trimmed 1 red onion, sliced lengthwise 1/2 cup small cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes lemon wedges, for garnish

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a large bowl, mix together the lemon juice, olive oil, granulated garlic and salt and pepper. Pierce each potato a couple of times with a fork (to allow steam to escape), and place the potatoes in a medium microwave-safe bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice mixture. Cover with a lid slightly askew to allow steam to escape, and microwave on high until potatoes begin to soften, about 4 minutes.

Meanwhile, place the chicken breasts, onion and tomatoes in the lemon juice mixture and toss to coat. Let sit for a few minutes.

Spray an oven-safe baking pan with nonstick spray. Pour the potatoes on the bottom of the baking sheet. Pour the chicken, onions, tomatoes and remaining marinade on top of the potatoes.

Bake until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes.

Sprinkle with fresh thyme and serve with a green salad.

Add mushrooms to beef for healthier burgers

By KATIE WORKMAN The Associated Press In grilling season, there’s probably no food more popular than burgers.

And while many kinds of burgers have become mainstream, from turkey to tuna to vegetarian, beef remains king. But what if you could have the taste and juiciness of beef while cutting back on a bit of the fat?

The answer: Add in some mushrooms.

When chopped, mushrooms (either cooked or raw) have a similar texture to ground meat and blend right in. It’s a nice way to lighten up a fall staple.

And then there’s ponzu sauce, with which I’ve recently become a little besotted. Ponzu is a citrus-based sauce used often in Japanese cooking. It is salty and tangy, made from vinegar, mirin (a low-alcohol rice wine), seaweed and fish flakes (please, don’t be turned off), and it has just a wonderful flavor. The citrus most commonly added is either juice or zest from yuzu or sudachi, two fruits from East Asia.

Ponzu sauce often is drizzled over foods for a finishing touch, or used as

a dip, but here it’s blended into the meat and mushrooms for yet another layer of umami (Japanese for “savory”).

For these burgers, the wasabi mayo is optional. They also would be great with ketchup or mustard, and of course lettuce, onion and tomato.

A last cooking tip: Chilling the burgers before grilling them helps them hold their shape. They also are great seared up in a pan, and hold together even better.

Asian Burgers

Start to finish: 2 hours Servings: 6 burgers 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 pound shiitake or baby Portobello mushrooms, sliced Kosher or coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste 3 tablespoons ponzu sauce, plus more for brushing 2 large eggs 2 teaspoons minced garlic 4 teaspoons grated ginger

2 pounds ground beef For the Wasabi Mayonnaise (optional): 1/4 cup mayonnaise 1 teaspoon wasabi paste, or to taste To assemble: 6 hamburger buns Lettuce Sliced tomatoes Sliced onions In a large skillet, heat the olive oil. When the oil’s hot, add the mushrooms to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté until the mushrooms release any liquid and it evaporates, and the mushrooms begin to turn nicely browned, about 8 to 10 minutes in all. Transfer the mushrooms to a plate and cool to room temperature.

In a large bowl, combine the eggs, 3 tablespoons ponzu sauce, garlic and ginger.

Finely chop the cooled mushrooms using a knife or by pulsing in the food processor, and then add them along with the beef to the bowl. Use your hands to gently mix until well combined.

Form the mixture into six patties, and use your thumbs to make slight indentations in the center of each burger. (That will cause them to end up flat when they cook.)

Refrigerate the burgers for at least an hour, preferably two or three, to let them firm up.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise with the wasabi paste. Adjust the level of heat to your taste, adding more mayo or wasabi paste as needed. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Preheat the grill to medium high. Grill the burgers for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, turning them carefully with a large spatula, until they are done to your liking. Alternatively, heat a large, nonstick pan over medium high heat and sear the burgers 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Brush the tops lightly with the additional ponzu sauce. Serve on the buns (toasted if you wish) with the wasabi cream, lettuce, tomatoes and onions.

Beef, cheese, poblano and beer form addictive burger

By SARA MOULTON The Associated Press The ancestor of this recipe was a beloved burger on the menu of a bar where I was a cook back in my college days.

Working on a flattop grill (the same surface used in diners to cook hash browns), we’d top the burger with a special mix of veggies, top the veggies with a slice of American cheese, douse the whole concoction with beer, then cover it with a dome lid and steam the burger until the cheese melted.

It was addictive – and I don’t even like beer.

This recipe repurposes that burger with fresher ingredients and sharp cheddar. I call for ground chuck because it’s not too lean. The higher percentage of fat makes the burger juicier and more flavorful. Whenever you add fat to a recipe, it’s just going to taste better.

The poblanos are roasted for three reasons: to soften the chili’s texture, to make it easier to remove the tough peel and to develop a slight char taste.

I recommend roasting them under the broiler, but if you have gas burners,

you can place them right on top of a burner and char them over a low flame. If you want to skip this step to save time, you can swap in canned chilies instead.

These burgers need to be cooked on a burner on top of the stove – not on a grill. That’s so the juices that accumulate in the bottom of the skillet can be deglazed with beer and turned into a “sauce” to pour onto the burger at the end. If you’re a beer lover, choose a robust brand, which will amp up the burger’s flavor.

I can’t pretend this is a low-cal dish, but I do think it’s a justifiable (and delicious) fall indulgence.

Chili Cheeseburgers Steamed in Beer Start to finish: 1 hour (40 active) Servings: 6

1 large poblano (about 4 ounces) or one 4.5-ounce can chilies 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided plus extra oil for oiling the chili 2 cups sliced onion salt and black pepper 1/2 cup mayonnaise 1 teaspoon minced garlic

1½ tablespoons minced chipotle in adobo 1½ pounds ground chuck, divided into 6 patties (shape them so that all of them will fit into one large skillet without touching) 6 ounces sliced cheddar cheese 1/2 cup beer 6 toasted buns Preheat the broiler. Lightly oil the chili on all sides and set it on a shelf about 4 inches from the heat source. Using tongs, turn the poblano often, until the skin is blackened on all sides, about 10 to 15 minutes.

Transfer the chili to a bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and set it aside until it is cool enough to handle. When the chili is cool, peel and seed it and cut it into thin strips: put it back in the bowl.

In a large skillet cook the onion in 1 tablespoon of the oil, over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the onion is golden brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add the cooked onion to the bowl with the chili and add salt and pepper to taste. Wipe out the skillet and set it aside.

In a small bowl stir together the mayonnaise, garlic and chipotle.

In the skillet, heat the remaining oil over medium high heat. Season the burgers on

both sides with salt and pepper and add them to the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium and cook them for 2 minutes a side.

Transfer the burgers to a plate and pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the fat from the pan.

Return the burgers to the pan and top each burger with one-sixth of the chili mixture, followed by a slice of cheese.

Pour the beer into the pan on top of the burgers and cover the pan with a lid. Reduce the heat to a simmer and let the burgers steam for 2 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the burgers are cooked to the desired degree of doneness (you can nick and peek inside one).

While the burgers are cooking, spread chipotle mayonnaise onto the bottom and top of each bun. Transfer the cooked cheeseburgers to the bottom half of the buns. Turn up the heat in the skillet and boil the liquid until it thickened.

Spoon some of the reduced cooking liquid over each burger. Top with the remaining bun half.

Orange juice tames heat in spicy shrimp dish

By SARA MOULTON

segments 1/4 cup toasted sunflower seeds (toasted in a 350 degrees F. oven until golden, 6 to 8 minutes)

Spicy Shrimp with Hearts of Palm, Avocado and Orange Salad

The Associated Press Have you ever whipped up a spicy dish – chili, for example – and realized when it’s too late you somehow overdid it and added way too much of the hot stuff? Happily, there are two very simple ways to restore some equilibrium: adding dairy and/or sugar. It’s a balancing act performed all over the world. The Indians serve their vindaloo with yogurt. Mexicans tamp down the heat of their habaneros with crema or sour cream. Here in the U.S., we use sugar to counteract the heat in our barbecue sauce.

So, how to tame the heat in this spicy shrimp? I went with sugar in the form of fresh orange juice, boiled down until it’s concentrated, which then becomes the main flavor in the recipe’s vinaigrette. The juice also helps to lighten up the dressing – you need less oil when one of your other ingredients is as thick and flavorful as concentrated orange juice. And by the way, grapefruit juice, which is slightly more tart than orange juice, works equally well.

In an effort to cut down on the preparation time for this recipe, I’ve called for a store-bought creole or

The Associated Press

jerk spice mix. But feel free to conjure up your own. As long as it includes ground chipotle or hot paprika or cayenne, you’ll win.

Spicy Shrimp with Hearts of Palm, Avocado and Orange Salad Start to finish: 1 hour 40 minutes (40 active) Servings: 4

3 tablespoons vegetable oil, preferably grapeseed, divided 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon Jamaican jerk seasoning, creole seasoning or your

favorite spicy seasoning 1 pound jumbo (16-20) peeled and deveined shrimp 1/3 cup fresh orange juice 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 1½ tablespoons white wine vinegar 6 cups torn butter lettuce 1 (14-ounce) can hearts of palm, drained and patted dry, sliced crosswise 1/2inch thick 1 large Haas avocado, peeled, pitted and cut into 1/2-inch chunks 2 medium oranges, peeled and cut into

In a large bowl stir together 1 tablespoon of the oil and the jerk seasoning; add the shrimp and toss well to coat. Cover and chill for 1 hour.

Heat the grill to medium.

In a small saucepan simmer the orange juice until it is reduced to 2 tablespoons.

Transfer to a small bowl; add the salt, mustard and vinegar and whisk until the salt is dissolved. Gradually whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil.

Thread the shrimp on skewers and grill, turning them over once, about 2 minutes a side.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl combine the lettuce, hearts of palm, avocado and orange segments. Add 1/4 cup of the dressing and toss well.

To serve, divide the salad among 4 plates, top with the shrimp and sunflower seeds; drizzle with the remaining dressing.

McHenry Estate Sale FRI & SAT, NOV 4 & 5 8-4 Cash and Carry Oscar Wilde wrote, “I always pass on good advice. It is the only thing to do with it. It is never of any use to oneself.”

These days, every bridge player tries to find a reason, however thin, not to pass. Occasionally, though, a pass passes on valuable information -- as in this deal. How should South play in four hearts? West leads the diamond 10. East wins the first trick with his queen, cashes the diamond ace, and shifts to the club two. (What was East’s stronger defense?)

In the auction, North’s two-notrump response was the Jacoby Forcing Raise: four-plus trumps, at least game-forcing values and, usually, no singleton or void. (Otherwise, he would have made a splinter bid.)

South, with a minimum and no shortage either, jumped to four hearts.

South has to play the trump suit without loss. This would normally involve taking a finesse. A priori, the chance that East has the king is 50 percent and West a singleton king only about 6.25 percent. But sometimes those numbers are worthless.

South would like to know who holds the spade ace. He should lead a spade, taking a slight risk that East will get a club ruff. Here, East produces the ace. Then South should know that West must have the heart king. If East had that card -- and a total of 13 high-card points -- he would have opened the bidding. Declarer should play a heart to his ace.

East would have done better to shift to a trump at trick three, before South could find out who had the spade ace. Then surely declarer would have gone with the odds and taken the finesse.
