Good morning, McHenry County ...

Care4 Breast Cancer 5K is coming up This year’s big Care4 Breast Cancer 5K Run/Walk is right around the corner, with a lofty goal of raising $150,000 to help battle breast cancer for underserved individuals in McHenry County.

My wife, Maria, the better runner and columnist in the family, has participated in the race several times while I drew parent duty at home. But now that the kids are older, Oct. 16 is a good time to bring the whole family to Woodstock North High School.

While I enjoyed running in my youth, I usually only do it now if I’m being chased. But a 5K for Family Health Partnership’s Breast Cancer Fund is the least I can do. The race is scheduled for 8:30 a.m.

Many teams and individuals are already signed up on the event website, and the campaign had reached one-third of its goal by Tuesday afternoon. Join an existing team or start your own.

Even if you can’t participate in the race, there’s an option to make a contribution to one of the teams, individuals or just make a donation to the cause.

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK Kevin Lyons Many local businesses, including the Northwest Herald, are sponsoring this year’s event.

All of the event proceeds will stay right in McHenry County and be used to assist Family Health Partnership in giving those underserved by health insurance access to breast cancer screenings, mammograms and other treatment resources.

Breast cancer will affect one in eight women in their lifetime, and no one should face a harder battle because they couldn’t get access to preventive care. So come join us for the 16th annual Care4 5K.

NEW YORK – Manhattan’s oldest church is getting ready to celebrate its 250-year history, which includes worshippers ranging from George Washington to those who searched for victims after the Sept. 11 attacks.

St. Paul’s Chapel in Lower Manhattan is best known today as the “Little Church that Stood,” having survived unscathed as the World Trade Center towers came down across the street.

A monthslong interior renovation of the Episcopal sanctuary will be unveiled on its anniversary date Oct. 30, along with a “9/11 Chapel of Remembrance” area for quiet reflection that also contains artifacts of the attacks.

St. Paul’s is Manhattan’s last remaining colonial structure.

Tim Kaine goes on offense as Mike Pence fights back in only VP debate

By JULIE PACE and THOMAS BEAUMONT The Associated Press

FARMVILLE, Va. – Democrat Tim Kaine aggressively challenged Republican Mike Pence over a long list of Donald Trump’s controversial positions and statements Tuesday night, drawing a vigorous defense of Trump’s tax history. But Pence sidestepped criticism of Trump’s demeaning comments about women, his public doubting of President Barack Obama’s citizenship and broader questions about his temperament.

Indiana Gov. Pence and Virginia Sen. Kaine, who have received little attention in a race focused on Trump and Hillary Clinton, faced off for 90 minutes in the only vice presidential debate of the campaign.

With the close White House race perhaps starting to tip in Clinton’s favor, Pence outlined a detailed conservative agenda on tax policy, entitlements and immigration. He was markedly more prepared and more detailed in his answers than Trump was in last week’s first presidential debate. He also was more consistent in painting the Democratic ticket as career politicians unwilling to shake up Washington.

“Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine want more of the same,” Pence said. He also repeatedly accused the Democrats of running an “insult-driven” campaign – an ironic attack line given that Trump has leveled repeated insults against Clinton and his former rivals in the Republican primaries.

There was a striking difference in the two men’s manner. Kaine, Clinton’s usually easygoing No. 2, went on the attack from the start, repeatedly interrupting and challenging Pence. Pence, an equally genial politician, was unflappable.

Kaine pressured Pence to answer for some of Trump’s provocative statements, using Trump’s own words. He also challenged Pence on Trump’s decision to break with decades of campaign tradition by not releasing his taxes.

“Donald Trump must give the American public his tax returns to show he’s prepared to be president, and he’s breaking his promise,” Kaine said.

Asked about reports that Trump might not have paid any federal taxes for years, Pence said Trump “used the tax code just the way it’s supposed to be used, and he did it brilliantly.”

Records obtained by The New York Times showed Trump suffered more than $900 million in losses in 1995 that

Kaine, too, defended his running mate’s weaknesses, chiefly the public’s questions about her honesty and trustworthiness. He said that while Trump was “selfish,” Clinton had devoted her career to helping children and families.

Social issues were a bigger part of the conversation than in the first presidential showdown, reflecting both candidates’ religious faith.

Kaine, a Catholic who personally opposes abortion but has consistently voted in favor of abortion rights, said of the Republican nominee, “Why doesn’t Donald Trump trust women to make this choice for themselves?” He also pointed to Trump’s assertion that women should face some kind of “punishment” for abortion, a comment Trump later walked back.

Pence, raised Catholic but now a Protestant evangelical, stressed his opposition to abortion and said he was “proud to be standing with Donald

Testimony begins in case against Mount Prospect police officer

Huntley man accused of battery after domestic disturbance call

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A trial began Tuesday for a Mount Prospect police sergeant from Huntley facing battery charges after he allegedly shoved a police officer who entered his residence after a report of a domestic disturbance.

Anthony G. Lietzow was charged in July 2015 with aggravated battery to a peace officer, aggravated domestic battery, domestic battery and resisting a peace officer after a neighbor called police to report a possible domestic disturbance at Lietzow’s home.

Lietzow initially pleaded guilty in October 2015 to a misdemeanor charge of resisting a peace officer, but he withdrew his guilty plea and reset the case for trial after he claimed he didn’t know he would lose his job. He remains on unpaid leave while his criminal case progresses.

Prosecutors agreed Monday to dismiss the Class 2 felony aggravated domestic battery charge.

Assistant State’s Attorney Dave Johnston said in opening statements Tuesday that the night in question began with an evening of drinking with his wife and friends. Lietzow returned home before his wife and locked her out of the home.

When his wife returned home shortly after 4 a.m., she went to a neighbor’s house, and they called Huntley police shortly after.

Lietzow did not answer the door when police arrived at the scene, but they entered through the garage door with the help of Lietzow’s wife, Johnston said. He said because the call was a reported domestic disturbance, the officers had to complete their investigation and speak with the other party allegedly involved.

One of the three Huntley police officers knocked on the garage door to enter

District 2 hopefuls have money on their minds 2 Republicans, 2 Dems vying for 2 seats on McHenry County Board

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com Voters have four new faces to choose from to fill two seats in District 2 for the McHenry County Board.

Republican incumbent Jeff Thorsen – who is running in his first election since his appointment last November to fill a vacancy – and newcomer John Reinert are running against Democratic opponents Jim Roden and Dominique Miller in the Nov. 8 election.

District 2 covers northwestern Algonquin and far northeastern Grafton townships, and includes parts of Crystal Lake, Lakewood and Lake in the Hills. Current District 2 board member Carolyn Schofield, R-Crystal Lake, decided instead to run for Illinois House.

Thorsen said that if he’s elected to a full four-year term, he will “continue to hold the line on spending and never use a rubber stamp.” The vice president of FirstMerit Bank in Union spent more than 16 years on the Crystal Lake City Council before his appointment to fill the remaining term of former board Chairman Ken Koehler, who stepped down to represent McHenry County on the Metra Board.

“I have much experience in local issues, and a proven track record of representing the taxpayers first. I have an extensive understanding of how local government works from a financial perspective. I have put that knowledge to good use thus far, and will continue to do so,” Thorsen said.

All four candidates pledged to continue to reduce county expenses to help combat high property taxes – a Washington, D.C.-based tax watchdog group places county taxpayers’ bills as the 29th highest nationwide. However, county government accounts for about 10 percent of an average homeowner’s bill.

Miller, a self-employed lifestyle consultant from Crystal Lake, said the county government owes taxpayers a complete accounting of where their

money is going, as well as a say in how it is spent. She took a shot at the board’s endorsement of Gov. Bruce Rauner’s “Turnaround Agenda,” which resulted in a lawsuit from a union that the county settled. It had to pay $25,000 to cover the union’s legal fees.

“Our citizens work hard for their money, and their tax dollars should not be spent where they are not absolutely necessary,” Miller said. “As a small-business owner, I am committed to cutting waste and abuse. County taxpayers should not have to worry that their tax dollars may have to be spent to rectify errors in judgment.”

Reinert, a self-employed home builder and real estate agent from Crystal Lake, said besides cutting its own costs, the County Board should take a more active role in persuading other governments that take up much more of residents’ tax bills to follow its example. The County Board for years has declined the inflationary levy increase it is entitled to under the tax cap.

“I firmly believe McHenry County has a leadership role in holding the line on property taxes. We must work vigorously with our local governments, especially school districts, in reducing this terrible trend,” Reinert said.

Roden, who owns a custom picture frame shop in Ridgefield, concurred, and also said that the county can aid in tax relief by doing more to help eliminate or consolidate local units of government.

A new law gives the County Board the option to eliminate a handful of small units of government. An attempt last year to put referendums on the ballot to consolidate the county’s townships failed for numerous reasons.

“The county’s part of the problem can be reduced by trimming departments. But what really needs to be done is look at the tax pie chart. The school districts are the biggest expense. We must influence them to trim down by example. Cut the number of taxing bod-

The candidates split by party on the question of whether to reduce the size of the County Board from its current 24 members, and voters will be asked an advisory question on the ballot. The two Democratic candidates expressed support, while the two Republican ones suggested caution.

Miller called for shrinking the size, meaning fewer salaries and benefits and a sure way to reduce expenses, and Roden suggested cutting the board’s size in half. Thorsen said he does not support a decrease at this time. Reinert, who said he would be open to an 18-member board, questioned whether cost savings would be negated by more power concentrated in the hands of fewer people, who will get larger budgets for assistance, transportation and salaries.

Candidates also were split on the question of reducing or eliminating the tax levy for the county-owned Valley Hi Nursing Home, which has generated a reserve large enough to maintain years of operations after years of new, fiscally minded stewardship.

Roden and Miller oppose eliminating the levy, or talk of one day privatizing the home west of Woodstock.

Reinert opposes privatization as well but said “a large tax levy” is no longer needed. Thorsen said that every dollar sitting idle in the reserve is money not spent by taxpayers in the local economy, and he thinks the question of privatizing it should be explored. Voters would have to decide that question by referendum.

The County Board last year voted to eliminate the $3 million Valley Hi levy for one year. If members do the same again this year for 2017, the levy will be permanently eliminated under the tax cap, meaning a voter referendum would be needed to bring it back.

CARY – An 18-year-old Cary man was arrested Tuesday for allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs and striking two vehicles, according to Cary police.

Police said that at 9:44 a.m. Tuesday, a 47-yearold Iverness woman was driving a 2014 Ford Escape west on Route 14 when her vehicle was struck by a 2005 Saab Robert driven by the 18-year- Ratkovich old, Robert Ratkovich.

Ratkovich entered the intersection at a red light at Route 14 and Cary Algonquin Road, police said, and then fled the scene.

About 9:51 a.m., police were notified of a second crash on Silver Lake Road and Alma Terrace involving a mail carrier truck. Ratkovich disobeyed a stop

sign and struck the truck, police said.

The postal worker was transported to Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital in Barrington with minor injuries, police said. Ratkovich also was taken to the hospital after police said they suspected impairment from alcohol and drug use.

Ratkovich was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, driving with a blood-alcohol content more than 0.08 percent, driving under the influence of drugs/intoxicating compounds, having no valid driver’s license, leaving the scene of an injury/crash, disobeying a red light and two counts of failing to reduce speed, police said.

Cary Deputy Police Chief Jim Fillmore said that as of Tuesday afternoon, Ratkovich was at the McHenry County Jail.

His most serious charge, a Class A misdemeanor, could result in up to one year in jail.

Police: Teen accused of DUI after hit-skip crash, mail carrier truck hit

Crystal Lake District 47 PTO/PTA members raised over $300K last school year

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Parent-teacher organizations and associations from Crystal Lake Elementary School District 47 raised a total of $326,733 during the 2015-16 school year.

It’s the highest total raised in the past six school years, according to data provided by district community relations coordinator Denise Barr.

Carlie Dobbeck, PTO president of North Elementary, said her group helped run several fundraisers throughout the year, including the Apex Fun Run, which promoted healthy living.

“The Apex Fun Run will also be our main event for this school year because it sees great turnout and everyone really enjoys it,” Dobbeck said.

“Taxpayer dollars only go so far,” Dobbeck said. “The main goal of the PTO is to enhance students’ education and support administration in the

school. These fundraisers are a great way to do that.”

Money raised via PTO/PTA fundraisers typically goes toward field trips, author visits, school events, library books, classroom-specific supplies and playground equipment. South Elementary Principal Rachael Alt said that last year the money partially went toward the school’s learning center to get new books and a new sound system in the gymnasium.

“PTO fundraisers just help pay for so many different things that benefit the school,” Alt said.

South Elementary’s PTO was able to raise about $31,000 last year.

“We’re so thankful for all the support our PTO and PTA groups have given us,” Alt said. “We’re not in this alone – we need the community to help us raise funds for the school.”

The District 47 school board recognized PTO and PTA members at a Sept.

19 meeting for all of their fundraising efforts during the 2015-16 school year.

VIEWS Joan Oliver room, since he’s too big for her to carry and use her walker at the same time.

And if I’m not quick enough in bringing him to his next destination, Mom will go looking for him. What she will not do is ask me to fetch him; somehow I’m expected to just know.

My role has gone from dutiful daughter to more of the mother figure.

In fact, one day she actually referred to me as “Mama” as she chattered away to Wally. I quickly reminded her that I am the daughter in this scenario.

Still, I find myself saying a few of these time-honored Mom-isms: “Go to sleep; it’s still the middle of the night,” “It’s hard to listen when you’re doing all that talking” and “No, that shoe goes on the other foot.”

Come to think of it, I’m not sure how much perspective my mother is getting in our “Freaky Friday” situation. But I know I am.

Despite the challenges each and every day presents, I’m happy for the knowledge I’m acquiring. After all, I’m probably going to need it as my dear husband continues along his own journey with Alzheimer’s disease.

So, in a weird way, I’m grateful for the lessons my mother continues to teach me. Even if occasionally I growl at our own “Freaky Friday.”

In the 1976 movie “Freaky Friday,” Barbara Harris and Jodi Foster star as a mother and daughter who somehow switch bodies and find out what the other’s life is like. There’s also a 2003 remake starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan.

Suffice it to say, the movie offers a bit of “fish out of water” perspective along with its hilarious hijinks as mother and daughter try to make it in the other’s shoes.

Living with a parent who suffers from dementia offers a similar role reversal without the ending that miraculously restores everyone to their proper places.

And I’m definitely sure that my mother, who just turned 85, probably wouldn’t have wished this situation on either of us. I know I sure wouldn’t have.

However, as someone who never had children of my own, I honestly can say that the past year or so as my mother has regressed certainly has been eye-opening. I always knew that I respected those who chose the parenting route, but I have a newfound appreciation for some of the struggles.

For instance, I’ve learned that I’m better off adhering to Mom’s schedule than trying to make her fit into my own. As in, I get up at the same time every day, regardless of the day of the week, to make sure Mom gets her breakfast when she’s used to having it.

We’ve developed similar routines for lunch and dinner.

Then there’s the issue of my new “brother.” My mother’s constant companion is a stuffed bear named Wally, or at least that’s what she’s calling him these days.

I must carry Wally from room to

What is your position on Valley Hi Nursing Home’s surplus? Should its levy be abolished?

Valley Hi has existed in one form or another since the county began, and it should continue as the one tangible example of who we are as a community – dedicated and caring for one another. The performance of Valley Hi was cited by Moody’s credit rating as a factor in their decision to award our county the AAA rating that attracts more investors to our municipal bonds. This provides the potential for revenue to support future infrastructure projects without raising taxes. Our obligation to service personnel goes beyond the mere $10 to $40 per year household cost of the current levy. We declare our support for veterans, and the elderly and Valley Hi is that sentiment made real. As Congress debates cutting disability benefits for veterans under 65 and our state already falls 49th in Medicare reimbursements, we need to be true to our values when others are not. I will advocate for the mission of Valley Hi, the staff and the great work they do and push back on those who call for privatization. I would like to see the surplus actually applied to the needs there and help raise wages to attract needed CNA staff. www.kerriformchenrycounty.com

The Valley Hi surplus is a result of the hard work of many people, including employees and County Board members. The County Board and management created a path to monetary savings at Valley Hi. The accelerated success of the financial plan resulted in far greater savings in a much quicker time period. This accomplishment resulted in a property tax reduction for our property owners. Residents did not pay property tax for Valley Hi because the fund balance was stronger than expected.

This year, I will again promote a reduced tax collection for Valley Hi. Valley Hi expenditures, including operational costs and building maintenance and improvements, can be funded through insurance reimbursements and the reserve balance. Valley Hi will continue to be a county-owned asset until a referendum passed by the voters expresses and demands a different status. No referendum is planned at this time. At the County Board and on a personal level, I continue to work for our residents and employees at Valley Hi, as well as the families who benefit from the facility. In the event a citizen-led referendum surfaces to change the county direction and commitment, I will address that with new research and analysis.

We have a social responsibility to care for each other, and without the levy, Valley Hi could be in serious financial trouble by 2023.

The individual tax burden amount per tax year is not significant enough to justify the county doing away with the levy or with VH altogether. The surplus created by the VH levy is an asset to this county. It helps maintain services to our indigent seniors and our AAA credit rating, allowing us to borrow money at lower rates. The treasurer has a portion in aggressive accounts accumulating interest. The county has used surplus money collected for VH to adjust shortfalls within the general funds for several years in a row, allowing an ability to fund capital projects at no interest. Ultimately, it should be up to the people of McHenry County to decide what we want to do with VH. It’s our nursing home.

The Valley Hi surplus needs to trimmed.

The levy can remain at a token level until the voters decide if the county should remain in this business. I would support a concise, clear referendum for voter direction.

What recent County Board decision do you disagree with the most and why?

If our elected officials see themselves as above the law, can we expect justice? Our board members are expected to be champions of our laws and represent us in that capacity.

Personal ideology aside, they must abide by the law set forth in our state Constitution, whether they agree with them or not. That is their oath. Some of these board members chose to violate the Open Meetings Act at the same time they spoke about transparency.

They met with Gov. Rauner at our public space with this clear intent and an announced purpose of discussing his “Turnaround Agenda.”

These board members were happy to attend while the people they swore to represent were barred from entry by our own uniformed officers. It isn’t about the governor’s plan and the merits therein. This is about elected officials who believe your voice does not matter and they may, at their discretion, ignore the law. Any official who can condone barring the public from a meeting they pay for has forgotten whom they serve. They are clearly in the wrong job.

Although not yet formally approved by the board through ordinance or resolution, a majority of members expressed interest in purchasing another building to add to our government facilities. I oppose this idea because of the exorbitant cost to rebuild, remodel and maintain the structure. Our partial space needs analysis identified by some priorities as we move forward. Changes in personnel and services render some of the plan moot. In my opinion, based on reports, data and staff input, this solution is far exceeding our needs at this time and in the midrange and long-term strategic and operational plans. During a time when so many struggle with the price of medical treatment, food and groceries, education and property taxes, this direction is not appropriate or necessary. We have other building maintenance issues that must be solved before we assume another responsibility.

I disagree with the decisions to delay hiring a qualified county water specialist. This is a priority the County Board included in their 2016 Action Plan. With all of McHenry County relying 100 percent on groundwater to meet our water needs, it concerns me that the CB never approved hiring another water specialist after a vacancy was created many years ago.

Our families, home values and local economy are counting on water being available well into the future. This is the most basic function of government. Please visit my website to read more about my position on this decision and others, at www.PotterForThePeople.com.

Township consolidation should be presented to the electorate to decide. The funds provided for the Randall Road left turn lane addition project are too high. Are we spending these funds wisely?

“Until that confirmation was made, it kind of slowed the response,” Annarella said.

But when that response started, Annarella said, staff performed admirably to quickly contain the disease.

“They were phenomenal in their response. What they accomplished in July is second to none,” he said.

Among the changes that came from the outbreak are revised policies for infection control and a better daily communication process with staff.

The home created a concrete response plan if another outbreak occurs.

Annarella said Valley Hi staff discovered in the early days of the outbreak that there are no real guidelines for how to deal with a scabies outbreak at a long-term facility.

Two other facilities dealing with skin rashes have since contacted Valley Hi to analyze its final report of how it dealt with the outbreak, Annarella said.

Board members accepted Annarella’s report and complimented Valley Hi for its response and subsequent corrections.

“That’s all we can as for, is a continuous learning environment from a management standpoint,” said board member Donna Kurtz, R-Crystal Lake.

WOODSTOCK – Valley Hi Nursing Home is about two weeks shy of being able to officially declare itself free of scabies in the eyes of the Illinois Department of Public Health.

Administrator Tom Annarella spent about 10 minutes Tuesday morning giving a final report to the McHenry County Board, several months after the home reported an outbreak of a severe form of the skin disease. There have been no active cases since July, and the last treatment was administered in August to a resident with a rash as a precautionary measure.

“Right now, things are back to normal at Valley Hi,” Annarella told board members.

Six residents of the county-run nursing home west of Woodstock came down with Norwegian scabies. Valley Hi confirmed the first case July 1, the day after notifying the McHenry County Department of Health of the issue. Norwegian, or crusted, scabies is caused by an infestation of the skin by the human itch mite. Its victims have thick crusts of skin that contain large numbers of the mites and their eggs.

Annarella addressed aspects of a July 20 report by the IDPH, which concluded that Valley Hi’s plans to control the outbreak were deficient. He said the biggest takeaway was that staff were too busy looking at individual cases with individual physicians to step back and recognize a pattern.

He also said too much time was spent trying to get confirmation of scabies

On national security, Kaine revived Trump’s frequently flattering comments about Russian President Vladimir Putin. “He loves dictators,” Kaine said. “He’s got like a personal Mount Rushmore: Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un, Moammar Gadhafi and Saddam Hussein.”

Pence tried to flip the tables by accusing Kaine’s running mate of stoking Russia’s belligerence.

“The weak and feckless foreign policy of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama has awaked an aggression in Russia that first appeared in Russia a few years ago,” Pence said. “All the while, all we do is fold our arms and say we’re not having talks anymore.”

On criminal justice, Kaine argued that Trump’s embrace of “stop and frisk”-style policing was a mistake.

Pence argued that Clinton has used police shootings to argue that there is “implicit bias” in police departments, and he said Democrats should “stop seizing on these moments of tragedy.”

Kaine quickly shot back: “I can’t believe you are defending the position that there’s no bias.”

Tuesday’s contest was the only time Kaine and Pence will face off in this election, while Trump and Clinton tangle in three contests.

the immigration status of about 3 million people.

There also are some notable differences between the law signed by President Reagan and Clinton’s proposal.

The Reagan law included a provision that made it illegal for businesses to hire workers who don’t have the legal right to work in the United States. Enforcement of that provision has never fully materialized. Clinton’s plan as laid out in her campaign website does not address workforce enforcement.

she would accelerate any portions of it.

It’s also the case that Trump has not laid out a clear plan, although he claims to have a “secret” one that he won’t detail.

KAINE on Trump’s tax plan: “The sec- as the economy plunged into its deepest

ond component of the plan is massive tax breaks for the very top, trillions of dollars of tax breaks for people just like Donald Trump. The problem with this ... is that’s exactly what we did 10 years ago, and it put the economy into the deepest recession – the deepest recession since the 1930s.”

THE FACTS: There’s no serious argument that the Bush tax cuts brought on the recession. The recession was driven largely by the bust in the housing market. Critics might blame lax oversight by the Bush administration of the financial markets and of lenders, but the tax cuts were not a major factor in the recession. It’s true they failed to spur significant income growth before the housing bubble popped nearly a decade

downturn since the Great Depression.

But President Barack Obama chose to extend some of them in order to deal with the recession and its aftermath.

KAINE, on fighting the Islamic State:

“Donald Trump doesn’t have a plan.”

THE FACTS: Clinton also doesn’t have a plan that is materially different than what President Barack Obama is already doing.

She’s described a three-part strategy that involves crushing IS “on its home turf” in the Middle East, disrupting its infrastructure on the ground and online, and protecting America and its allies. All are current elements of the Obama administration’s strategy, so it’s not clear what would change or if

PENCE: “The Trump Foundation is a private family foundation. They give virtually every cent in the Trump Foundation to charitable causes. Less than 10 cents on the dollar in the Clinton Foundation has gone to charitable causes.”

THE FACTS: Rather than send money to other charities, the Clinton Foundation tends to spend its money on its own charitable programs. Pence’s claim ignores these internal initiatives, overlooking the Clinton Foundation’s work on African farming, climate change and AIDS treatment. Many nonprofits spend the bulk of their charitable money on their own efforts rather than on outside charitable groups.

As for Trump’s foundation, multiple questions have been raised about its namesake’s generosity.

Money has been used to buy paintings of Trump and a signed football helmet that belonged to Tim Tebow. Money from the foundation also has helped settle legal cases against Trump’s for-profit businesses, according to The Washington Post. Trump even paid the IRS a $2,500 penalty this year after it was uncovered that the foundation broke tax laws by giving a political contribution to Florida’s attorney general.

Hultgren talks veterans issues, TPP with residents

By TONY SCOTT

tscott@kendallcountynow.com U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren talked trade, veterans issues and taxes during a town hall with constituents Monday afternoon at the Kendall County Courthouse in Yorkville.

Hultgren, R-Plano, spoke with the group of residents from areas that included Yorkville, Oswego, Aurora, Sugar Grove, Plainfield, North Aurora, Batavia, Warrenville, McHenry, Sleepy Hollow and Orland Park. Also attending the meeting were Chad Lockman, superintendent of the Veterans Assistance Commission of Kendall County; Olivia Laschober, assistant superintendent of the Veterans Assistance Commission of Kendall County; and Michael Iwanicki, superintendent of the McHenry County Veterans Assistance Commission.

During the meeting, some in the audience pressed Hultgren on trade and whether he supports the controversial Trans-Pacific Partnership, or TPP, agreement. He also was asked whether the agreement would be addressed or voted on during Congress’ “lame duck” session after the Nov. 8 election and the swearing-in of a new Congress in January.

Hultgren said he doesn’t foresee the issue being addressed or voted on, or being passed, during the lame duck session, giving it a single-digit percentage chance.

For his part, Hultgren said he opposes the TPP as it is written currently, but said he isn’t opposed to trade agreements and could change his mind if certain elements of the agreement are changed.

“Where it is right now, if it came up for a vote tomorrow or when we come back in November, I wouldn’t support it; I couldn’t support it,” he said. “The big reasons for me are I just don’t think it’s strong enough for us. I think it’s giving up too much of our autonomy to foreign jurisdiction, foreign court authority that I think is risky, and I just think we can do better.

“The reason I say ‘in its current form’ is, I still am supportive of trade.

I am not an isolationist. I do not think we should just close our borders down.”

John Laesch of Aurora, who has been

U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren, R-Plano, speaks to constituents Monday at a town hall at the Kendall County Courthouse in Yorkville. active in opposing the TPP, thanked Hultgren for his open forum and for his stance on the issue.

“I’m thrilled about what you’re saying about the TPP,” Laesch said. “I genuinely appreciate your open forum and the way that your staff has treated us. I think having these discussions is more than most members of Congress are doing, Democrat or Republican, and I think that helps.”

Hultgren also discussed veterans issues, including ongoing problems with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. He offered to let his office or the Veterans Assistance Commission know if a veteran is having problems.

“These people are here to help, they’re here to cut through the red tape,” he said. “They’re here to get things done. And we want to do the same thing. That’s our first, primary focus.”

Laschober said veterans’ disability claims have been moving faster through the VA system recently, but there are more claims than just disability claims, including pension claims and burial

“Where it is right now, if it came up for a vote tomorrow or when we come back in November, I wouldn’t support it; I couldn’t support it. ... I just don’t think it’s strong enough for us.”

U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren, R-Plano claims, and there are only three places in the U.S. that process those claims.

Laschober said Congress also should focus on hiring more staff “to have an efficiently running Department of Veterans Affairs to do said claims.”

A resident at the meeting said he had read that illegal immigrants get better health care than veterans. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has made such claims during his campaign, most recently during a Sept. 7 speech in Philadelphia.

“Our veterans, in many cases, are being treated worse than illegal immigrants,” he said, according to national media reports.

Hultgren said such a claim isn’t true.

“I don’t think that’s true,” he said.

“That illegal immigrants are getting

better care than our veterans, I don’t think that’s true. I don’t know where that came from.”

Hultgren said there have been some reforms, but there is “more that needs to happen.” He praised the VA for the experience he has had with his own father.

“My dad’s a veteran, and so grateful for the VA,” he said. “Hines has been really good to him and also (James) Lovell (Federal Health Care Center) in North Chicago has been really great.

And to me, that’s one of those that really is a model: a joint VA and DOD facility relationship with Lovell. But almost everything we’ve heard has been very positive. The quality of care is unbelievable. All the resources for our veterans are right there.”

Low-cost microchip, vaccination clinic in Crystal Lake postponed NORTHWEST HERALD CRYSTAL LAKE – The McHenry County Animal Control and Adoption Center has postponed the microchip and rabies vaccination clinic that was scheduled to take place Oct. 15.

The cancellation comes after the discovery of the parvovirus in dogs at the Crystal Lake facility, 100 N. Virginia St. The parvovirus is transmitted through the feces and vomit of infected canines.

The disease usually can attack a canine’s intestinal tract and survive in

the environment for an extended period of time.

“Under the advisement of our veterinarian, we must regretfully postpone the clinic for the public safety of our county’s dog population,” Maryellen Howell, manager of the McHenry Coun-

ty Veterinary Public Health Division, said in a news release. “We feel it the appropriate call not to risk the health of residents’ pets by having animals unnecessarily come into the building.”

The clinic will be rescheduled for a later date, according to the release.

BERNICE E. STEFFEN

Born: March 3, 1928; in Chicago, IL Died: Oct. 3, 2016; in McHenry, IL

The ASSOCIATED PRESS BOZEMAN, Mont. – The man who oversaw Yellowstone National Park during the wildfires that burned across the park in 1988 has died.

Bob Barbee was 80. Family spokeswoman Joan Anzelmo said Barbee died at home in Bozeman on Sunday.

Barbee was superintendent of Yellowstone from 1983 to 1994. The 1988 Yellowstone fires were a defining event in his 42-year career of public service.

The fires burned more than 1,500 square miles inside and outside the park and transformed Yellowstone’s landscapes in ways still easily recognizable. More than 10,000 firefighters battled the fires at their peak.

Barbee previously was superintendent of Hawaii Volcanoes and Redwoods national parks. He was regional superintendent of Alaska’s national parks before retiring in 2000.

Barbee is survived by his wife, Carol, three daughters and seven grandchildren.

STATE Victim: Child abuse law protects ‘monster’ Hastert

By IVAN MORENO

The Associated Press CHICAGO – A man who said Dennis Hastert sexually abused him decades ago told Illinois lawmakers Tuesday that the former U.S. House speaker was “a monster” who was protected by the statute of limitations and wasn’t appropriately punished.

The comments from 54-year-old Scott Cross came as lawmakers are considering joining 37 other states that don’t have a statute of limitations for child sexual abuse cases. Hastert was sentenced in April to 15 months in prison for violating banking laws while trying to silence one of four victims identified by prosecutors, but Illinois’ statute of limitations meant he couldn’t be charged with sexual abuse, which could’ve sent Hastert to prison for decades.

“This topic, while difficult for me to discuss, is one that cannot be swept under the rug,” said Cross, his voice at times shaking as he urged a panel of lawmakers to change the limits of current law.

Plan to revamp police misconduct probes in Chicago gets review

CHICAGO – Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s plan to create a new agency that would investigate police shootings and police misconduct allegations drew sharp criticism Tuesday from some City Council members who said the proposed ordinance lacks necessary transparency and oversight over a department long plagued by a reputation of misconduct and brutality.

Emanuel’s plan, while addressing some concerns about the independence of the new Civilian Office of Police Accountability, does not create a civilian board whose job would include selecting a permanent head of the agency. That is something that critics of the department have said is crucial to restoring

Scott Cross, a victim of sexual abuse by former U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert, testifies Tuesday before members of the Illinois Senate in Chicago.

Lawmakers have four similar proposals pending that would eliminate Illinois’ statute of limitations for sexually abusing children. No votes were taken Tuesday, and the soonest the bills can be considered is next month, when lawmakers return to Springfield for a brief session.

public trust in Emanuel’s leadership and the police force in the wake of the now-famous video of a white police officer fatally shooting black teenager Laquan McDonald.

Instead, Emanuel postponed plans to create such a board, with the city’s lawyer, Stephen Patton telling aldermen Tuesday that would be ask to adopt a resolution Wednesday that calls for an ordinance on the new board to be completed and go before the City Council early next year.

Illinois records one of its warmest Septembers

CHAMPAIGN – Last month was one of the warmest Septembers on record in Illinois.

State climatologist Jim Angel said September’s average temperature was nearly 71 degrees, or 4.5 degrees above normal. State records go back to 1895. September of this year was tied for sixth place with the year 2005.

The warmest September was a tie between 1933 and 1925,

As it stands, victims of sex abuse have 20 years from their 18th birthday to report the crime so it can be prosecuted. But Cross, who has said Hastert abused him when Cross was a high school wrestler and Hastert was a coach, told lawmakers it’s difficult for victims to come to terms with their abuse and overcome feelings of guilt and shame before they tell anyone – a process that can take many years.

“It is unbelievably hard to step forward and confront a person of power and trust and somebody that you idolize and respect,” Cross said.

Cross still refers to Hastert as “coach” sometimes, and when he testified at his sentencing in April, he recalled looking up to him. After Cross’ testimony, the federal judge who was about to sentence Hastert asked him whether he abused Cross.

“I don’t remember that,” Hastert responded. “I accept his statement.”

Authorities said Hastert abused at least four students throughout his years at Yorkville High School.

Cross told lawmakers that Hastert’s punishment amounted to “a slap on the

when the statewide average was 72.2 degrees.

Most parts of the state received 3 to 5 inches of rain.

Southwestern Illinois was the wettest part of the state with between 5 and 7.5 inches of rain.

The statewide average for September’s rainfall was 3.47 inches, a bit above normal.

Demand for bobcat hunting permits in Ill. exceeds supply

SPRINGFIELD – New numbers from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources show that the number of people applying for the state’s first legal bobcat hunt was 13 times more than the number of available permits.

The Southern Illinoisan reported that nearly 6,500 hunters applied for 500 permits.

The recipients will be chosen through a lottery in about two weeks and notified by mail.

Gov. Bruce Rauner signed a law last year allowing bobcat hunting after the department determined the current population of about 5,000 bobcats is

wrist” and that his victims were “silenced by Illinois’ legal system.”

Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan, who sat next to Cross while he delivered his statement, expressed support for the measures that lawmakers are considering.

“The children who suffered from Hastert’s abuse, and so many others, may need their entire life to recover,” she said.

Current law in Illinois does have exceptions to the statute of limitations for child sexual abuse cases, but they are narrow. They only apply to cases after 2014 and in instances where physical evidence exists or if someone who was required to report the crime failed to do so.

Barbara Blaine, president of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, said lawmakers should make the pending measures retroactive to apply to cases such as Hastert’s, even if current case law deems that unconstitutional. Blaine said Illinois should challenge that with new legislation.

“Let Illinois lead the charge,” she said.

stable. The animal was removed from the state’s threatened species list in 1999.

“The recovery of the bobcat population in Illinois is a conservation success story for everyone,” Illinois Department of Natural Resources spokesman Chris Young said previously.

Animal welfare groups opposed the plan, arguing that the hunting could harm the still-recovering population.

Illinois Bobcat Conservation encouraged their members to apply for permits to keep them away from those who would use them to hunt or trap bobcats.

Each of the 500 permit holders will be allowed to take one bobcat, either by hunting, trapping or salvaging roadkill, during the season, which runs from Nov. 10 to Jan. 31.

Ill. agency accused of poor leadership, service to deaf

SPRINGFIELD – Critics claim that an Illinois agency which assists lawmakers with issues affecting the state’s deaf and hard-of-hearing community is

wasting hundreds of thousands of state dollars through weak leadership and oversight.

The State Journal-Register reported that critics of the Springfield-based Illinois Deaf and Hard of Hearing Commission launched an online petition this summer that calls for the group to pay attention to the community’s needs and make systematic changes.

Illinois Association of the Deaf president Corey Axelrod said commission Director John Miller and Assistant Director Janet Lambert are incompetent and shouldn’t be leading the agency.

Commissioners for the agency listened to the Association of the Deaf’s concerns at an August meeting. They will hold another meeting on Wednesday to address the issues raised.

A spokeswoman for Gov. Bruce Rauner defended the agency, saying it “works diligently on behalf of the hardof-hearing and deaf community to improve their independence, increase access to interpreters, and educate the public.”

David Wildstein, who pleaded WikiLeaks founder: Leaks coming on election, Google guilty in the gridlock scheme and

BERLIN – WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange promised “significant” disclosures on subjects including the U.S. election and Google in the coming weeks as the secret-spilling group marked its 10th anniversary on Tuesday.

Assange said WikiLeaks plans to start publishing new material this week, but he wouldn’t specify the timing and subject.

Speaking by video link to an anniversary news conference in Berlin, he said the leaks include “significant material” on war, arms, oil, internet giant Google, the U.S. election and mass surveillance. WikiLeaks hopes “to be publishing every week for the next 10 weeks,” Assange said.

WikiLeaks, which released Democratic National Committee emails days before the party’s national convention earlier this year, wouldn’t say who or what campaign would be affected by the upcoming U.S. election leaks.

The report was never issued.

Hurricane slams Haiti, takes aim at East Coast

By DAVID McFADDEN The Associated Press

PETIT-GOAVE, Haiti – Hurricane Matthew slammed into Haiti’s southwestern tip with howling 145 mph winds Tuesday, knocking down trees and tearing off roofs in the poor and largely rural area, while inundating neighborhoods in floodwaters and mud.

By nightfall, at least 11 deaths had been blamed on the powerful storm during its weeklong march across the Caribbean. But with a key bridge washed out, impassable roads and phone communication cut off with Haiti’s hardest-hit area, there was no way to know how many people might be dead or injured.

Hurricane Matthew, slightly weakened but still a dangerous Category 4 storm with 130 mph winds, whipped at Cuba’s sparsely populated eastern tip Tuesday night, as it headed for a two-day run up the length of the Bahamas that would take it near the U.S. coast.

Twenty-foot waves pounded the seafront promenade in the Cuban town of Baracoa. Powerful winds rattled the walls of homes and heavy rain caused some flooding. But state media said late Tuesday there were no immediate reports of serious damage.

Hours after Matthew made landfall on Haiti’s now-marooned southwestern peninsula, government leaders said they couldn’t fully gauge the impact.

“What we know is that many, many houses have been damaged. Some lost rooftops and they’ll have to be replaced while others were totally destroyed,” Interior Minister Francois Anick Joseph said.

At least five deaths were blamed on the storm in Haiti, including a 26-year-old man who drowned trying to rescue a child who fell into a rushing river, authorities said. The child was saved. The mayor in flooded Petit Goave reported two people died there, including a woman who was killed by a falling electrical pole.

Four deaths were recorded in the neighboring Dominican Republic and one each in Colombia and in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

Forecasters said Matthew could hit Florida

by Thursday night and push its way up the East Coast over the weekend.

The forecast triggered a rush by Americans to stock up on food, gasoline and other emergency supplies.

The dangerous Category 4 storm – at one point the most powerful hurricane in the region in nearly a decade – blew ashore around dawn in the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, hitting a corner of Haiti where many people live in shacks of wood or concrete blocks.

Mourad Wahba, U.N. secretary-general’s deputy special representative for Haiti, said at least 10,000 people were in shelters, and hospitals were overflowing and running short of water. Wahba’s statement called the hurricane’s destruction the “largest humanitarian event” in Haiti since the devastating earthquake of January 2010.

Matthew left the peninsula that runs along the southern coast of Haiti cut off from the rest of the country. A bridge in the flooded town of Petit Goave was destroyed, preventing any road travel to the hard-hit southwest. Local radio said water was shoulder high in parts of the city of Les Cayes.

IMF reduces forecast for U.S. economic growth

By PAUL WISEMAN The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – The International Monetary Fund is downgrading its forecast for the U.S. economy this year and warns that political discontent threatens global growth.

The IMF on Tuesday cut its estimate for U.S. economic growth in 2016 to 1.6 percent from the 2.2 percent it had predicted in July. The American economy grew 2.6 percent in 2015.

The fund’s dimmer outlook for the U.S. occurs even as the Federal Reserve is thought to be preparing to raise interest rates in December.

The U.S. economy has been sputtering since late last year. The main culprit is weak business investment.

The fund blames the U.S. investment

drought on cutbacks in the energy industry, a strong dollar that’s depressing exports and “policy uncertainty” surrounding the November elections.

The IMF says weakness in the U.S. is offset by improving prospects among developing economies. Commodity prices have stabilized after last year’s free fall, which badly damaged developing countries that export raw materials such as iron ore and copper.

The fund left unchanged its forecast for overall global growth this year at a lackluster 3.1 percent.

“Global growth remains weak,” IMF chief economist Maurice Obstfeld said.

The IMF warns that populist discontent – reflected in Britain’s vote in June to leave the European Union and the rise of Donald Trump in the U.S. – could cause countries to retreat from

global trade, weakening worldwide growth.

The fund increased its forecast for India to 7.6 percent growth, fastest among the world’s major economies.

And it upgraded the outlook for Russia – although it still expects the Russian economy to contract 0.8 percent this year as it contends with low oil prices and sanctions for its aggression in Ukraine. The IMF left unchanged its forecast for 6.6 percent growth in China, the world’s second-biggest economy.

Pulled down by slower expected growth in the United States, the world’s advanced economies are expected to grow 1.6 percent this year, down from the 1.8 percent the fund forecast in July. But the IMF upgraded its forecast for Japanese growth to 0.5 percent this

year and for the 19 countries that use the euro currency to 1.7 percent.

The fund’s outlook for the United States is a bit gloomier than other private forecasts. Members of the National Association for Business Economics, for example, expect the U.S. economy to grow 1.8 percent.

The Fed has signaled that it is likely to raise U.S. interest rates at its December meeting. Investors put the likelihood of a December rate hike at 63 percent, according to figures from the CME Group.

The American labor market has remained solid despite unimpressive economic growth. Employers have added a healthy 204,000 jobs a month the past year, and the unemployment rate is at 4.9 percent, close to what economists consider full employment.

Video of L.A. police shooting shows suspect with gun The ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES – Video released Tuesday shows a black man killed by Los Angeles police was armed just before he was shot dead, but the footage failed to capture him when officers say he twice turned toward them holding the loaded semi-automatic handgun.

The video shows the man identified by police as 18-year-old Carnell Snell crouching behind an SUV parked at a strip mall and pulling a handgun from the waistband of his sweatpants.

Snell then tucks the gun back into his waistband and runs around the corner of a strip mall as officers chase him.

All then disappear from view because they were no longer within the range of the surveillance camera.

Snell’s shooting Saturday came amid heightened tensions over police actions involving black people and other minorities across the country. Snell was the third black man in five days killed in confrontations with Southern California police.

Police said the video – posted to the police department’s YouTube channel following pressure by protesters to release it – supports the account LAPD Chief Charlie Beck gave defending the shooting.

Beck said the video showed Snell had an opportunity to get rid of the gun but decided to keep it when he ran around a corner of the strip mall, disappearing from the footage that showed two officers running after him.

“Obviously if you’re not seeking confrontation, why wouldn’t you just discard the weapon?” Beck said.

Black Lives Matter protesters demonstrate Tuesday at the Board of Police Commissioners meeting in Los Angeles. Los Angeles police released surveillance video Tuesday showing an 18-year-old black suspect running from police while holding what appears to be a gun in his left hand just before he was fatally shot by officers in a death that has generated rowdy protests. corner and out of range of the camera, he sprinted between two houses and turned toward officers while holding the gun, Beck said.

Officers fired three shots that missed Snell, who then climbed a fence and turned again toward the officers while holding the gun, Beck said. Police fired three more times, hitting Snell in the torso and knee.

The video showing the moments leading up to the shooting was made public just as Black Lives Matter organizers gathered Tuesday morning to protest Snell’s killing at a meeting of the Los Angeles Police Commission.

Demonstrators at the civilian oversight board’s meeting continuously disrupted Beck and commission members with expletives and insults and ignored repeated requests to maintain order. One woman who said her son had been killed by police threatened to kill officers herself.

No arrests were made, but the meeting was closed to the public after protesters refused to stop chanting, “Black lives, they matter here!”

Protester Melina Abdullah accused police of selectively releasing a portion of video of Snell’s shooting to “posthumously assassinate” his character.

“I don’t care if he had a gun,” she shouted. “His life matters.”

The release of the video marked the latest example of police departments that have decided to release footage of deadly confrontations amid public pressure.

In North Carolina, Charlotte police released snippets of recordings showing Keith Lamont Scott slowly backing out of an SUV on Sept. 20.

Police fatally shot Scott after they say he refused commands to put down a gun.

In the San Diego suburb of El Cajon, police released a still frame showing 38-year-old Alfred Olango with his hands together at chest level and pointed at an officer directly in front of him.

Olango was fatally shot after he swiftly drew an object from his front pocket and pointed at the officer in a “shooting stance,” police said. The object turned out to be a 4-inch vape pen – an electronic cigarette device.

The LAPD typically releases video of police shootings only when ordered to do so by courts. Beck told reporters the Snell video was released in the interest of public safety and to correct misinformation.

“This is not done in any way to denigrate Mr. Snell,” he said.

Asked whether he thought the video would ease anger among protesters, he said “there are folks that will not believe any narrative” presented by police.

“I think that this video is not for them, the folks that are going to find holes in whatever I present to them,” he said. “Unless they were physically present, they are not going to believe the police’s point of view on this.”

Russian air defense missile system Antey 2500, or S-300 VM, is on display Aug. 27, 2013, at the opening of the MAKS Air Show in Zhukovsky outside Moscow, Russia. The Russian military said Tuesday it had deployed the S-300 air defense missile systems to Syria to protect a Russian navy facility in the Syrian port of Tartus and Russian navy ships in the area.

“The Syrian army and its allies are in a sustained offensive to recapture rebel-held eastern Aleppo,” wrote Robert Ford, a veteran diplomat and former ambassador to Syria.

“Unless the balance on the ground drastically shifts, the Assad regime

will eventually retake from opposition fighters all of Aleppo and the outlying districts of Damascus,” wrote Ford, a fellow at the Middle East Institute in Washington. “This may take months, but the balance is certainly in the Syrian government’s favor.”

BEIRUT – Forces backing Syrian President Bashar Assad pressed their offensive Tuesday on Aleppo’s rebel-held zone from the south, after capturing areas on other fronts in recent days. As reinforcements arrived, including Shiite fighters from Iraq, the strategy appeared to be to retake rebel-held areas bit by bit, backed by massive Russian airpower, rather than risk a potentially costly all-out ground battle.

Tuesday’s offensive on the city’s besieged rebel-held eastern neighborhoods came a day after Washington suspended direct U.S.-Russian talks on a Syria cease-fire – a move U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry blamed on Russia’s rejection of diplomacy in favor of helping Assad’s government achieve a military victory over the rebels.

The latest tactic of whittling away at rebel-held areas of Aleppo rather than launching an all-out offensive has proved successful in the past: The government reasserted control of the suburbs of the capital, Damascus, and most of the central city of Homs using the strategy.

“Aleppo is ... the Syrian crisis and its liberation will end plans to divide Syria,” agreed Amin Hoteit, a former Lebanese army general and expert on military and strategic affairs.

Syrian troops and their allies have laid siege to rebel-held parts of Aleppo since July 17, except for a few weeks when the militants were able to break it in August, until it was reimposed in early September. Soon after the government opened a corridor for civilians and fighters to move to government-held parts of the city, and dozens of people and gunmen crossed after a general amnesty was offered by authorities.

Since a cease-fire brokered by the U.S. and Russia ended on Sept. 19, rebel-held neighborhoods where 275,000 people live have been subjected to some of the worst bombardment by Russian and Syrian warplanes since fighting began in 2011. Hospitals have been among the hardest-hit targets.

At least 420 people have been killed and more than 1,000 wounded in and around Aleppo since the cease-fire collapsed, according to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

Most of the deaths were in eastern Aleppo, where scores of buildings were demolished by Russian and Syrian airstrikes.

OUR VIEW: STATE SENATE ENDORSEMENTS

District 26: McConchie

Dan Duffy resigned his 26th Illinois Senate District seat earlier this year to take a job as president and CEO of Prevent Child Abuse America, a Chicago-based nonprofit. A Republican, Duffy was first elected to the state Senate in 2008. His hand-picked successor, Dan McConchie, was appointed to fill out the remainder of Duffy’s term.

McConchie, R-Hawthorn Woods, now faces Democrat Kelly Mazeski on the Nov. 8 ballot for a full four-year term.

A fiscal conservative, McConchie vows to cut spending, lower taxes and fight corruption in Springfield. He supports much of Gov. Bruce Rauner’s Turnaround Agenda, including tort reform, redistricting reform, workers’ compensation reform and property tax reform. He also supports pension reform that moves government employees away from defined benefit plans to defined contribution plans similar to those used in the private sector.

Mazeski, of Barringon, is a lifelong community volunteer.

Illinois’ 26th Senate District includes the southeastern portion of McHenry County.

We endorse McConchie.

District 32: Althoff

State Sen. Pam Althoff, R-McHenry, has been a known quantity in McHenry County politics and community service for a quarter of a century. She is running for her fourth full term on the Illinois Senate, where she has served since 2003.

Althoff faces Democratic challenger Melissa Coyne in November’s election.

Althoff serves on many legislative committees and task forces and serves as the senate Republican Caucus chairwoman. During her tenure, she has served as an important voice in Springfield representing McHenry County’s interests.

Althoff wants to enforce some accountability in the state’s budgeting process and work toward education funding reform.

Coyne is a Fox Lake resident and a small business owner who has been active in charity work and youth sports.

The 32nd District covers all of McHenry County except for Grafton and Algonquin townships, and covers the northwestern part of Lake County.

We endorse Althoff.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Colombia needs new way forward

Some are comparing the surprising rejection by Colombians of a peace accord with the FARC guerrilla movement as another Brexit-like rebellion.

There are certainly resemblances: The accord was pushed by a liberal-minded elite that saw it as a means to put their country’s violent past behind it, open rural areas to development and attract more trade and foreign investment.

The causes of the referendum’s failure, however, probably had less to do with resistance to Colombia’s modernization and globalization than with its success.

The severe threat the insurgency once posed to the country receded years ago, in large part because of an intensive U.S.-backed buildup and professionalization of Colombia’s armed forces. A large majority of those living in areas where the war with the FARC, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, continues supported

the accord, but residents of big cities other than the capital, Bogota, rejected it. More than 60 percent of voters failed to turn out.

In short, a lot of Colombians appeared to calculate that there would be little consequence for rejecting the relatively generous concessions to FARC leaders negotiated by President Juan Manuel Santos. Ordinary citizens far from the jungles where the FARC had its bases and cocaine-trafficking operations felt safe in rejecting the billions of dollars for land reform and subsidies to ex-fighters; reserved seats in Congress for a Marxist-Leninist party with scant popular support; and light consequences for FARC leaders who confessed to war crimes.

In the immediate aftermath of the referendum, the naysayers’ logic seemed vindicated. Both the government and the FARC immediately announced that a cease-fire would remain in place and talks reopened. FARC leader

Rodrigo Londoño said it would “use only words as a weapon to build toward the future.”

The problem is that Colombia’s sprawling countryside, with its concentrated landownership and lack of infrastructure for crops other than coca, needs the reforms that were built into the peace deal. Without them, violent drug-trafficking gangs will continue to dominate the landscape and terrorize the population.

At best, the pact might be revised to provide for tougher treatment of FARC leaders guilty of crimes, while continuing to pardon rank-and-file fighters. But Londoño and his clique stoutly resisted such accountability through years of negotiations.

Santos could also try to push the accord or a slightly amended version through Congress in spite of the referendum. Better, however, to accept democracy’s verdict, and look for another way forward.

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.

IT’S YOUR WRITE

Experienced professional

To the Editor: Joe Tirio woke up one day and decided, “I’m gonna end the Recorder of Deeds office.” He has no documented need to close the office or research indicating the office is ineffective. He has no idea whether the County Board, General Assembly, or the County Clerk agree with his idea. He just has a catchy political slogan.

Joe Tirio wants to merge the office with the County Clerk. This is the same County Clerk who can’t keep track of 10-year-old voter records. Do you really trust her to keep track of 100-year-old property records? The Recorder’s office already profits county taxpayers $500,000. If it’s not broken, don’t break it.

Lynn Gray is a respected, experienced real estate title professional who knows the value of protecting property rights.

She understands the function of the office and how to improve it. Vote for Lynn Gray on Nov. 8.

Culture of learning

To the Editor: Our current library building has reached a critical stage. Taxpayers will need to fund a $9.1 million repair to a failing building. Future repairs will continue just to keep the building functional,

VIEWS Scott Reeder There is plenty of blame to go around. Both Republicans and Democrats have to shoulder responsibility.

We have had governors of both parties who were too willing to spend and push debt off on to future generations.

And guess what, folks? We are that future generation.

But the common denominator in Illinois’ economic descent is named Michael Madigan.

The founders of this nation gave the legislative branch the power of the purse. And Madigan cared more about the power than the purse.

Year after year, decade after decade, Madigan accumulated power.

And year after year, under Madigan’s leadership, lawmakers drove the state deeper into debt. Promises of generous retirements were made to government workers represented by unions that

and it still will not meet the needs of the community. For example, over 400 groups had to be turned away for lack of meeting room space.

Limited shelving space requires the removal of existing items to make room for new arrivals. Today’s libraries are much more than just book lenders. They are community centers where every single patron from infant to retiree can come to enjoy programs, classes, special events, private study rooms, meeting rooms, and, of course, the collection of materials , online services, and the expertise of staff.

A new library will improve our local economy and provide a culture of learning for this and future generations. It is an investment in our community and a sensible use of tax dollars.

Does not bode well

To the Editor: Let me see if I have this straight. The financial situation of our state is a disaster. The Democrats have run this state for the last umpteen years under the leadership of Michael Madigan. So it may be safe to assume that Mr. Madigan may be primarily responsible for this.

Jack Franks has been our representative in Springfield for 18 years and has

made political contributions to Madigan and his minions.

And the state went deeper into debt.

Madigan has financed Illinois Supreme Court and legislative races in hopes of buying fidelity from those who had the power to hold him in check.

And he has taught governors to heel.

Both Republican and Democrat governors have struggled before Madigan and The Speaker has always won.

Always.

But for the first time in Madigan’s 38-year reign, he has a well-financed, implacable opponent.

That political foe is Gov. Bruce Rauner.

And the two men are at loggerheads.

Some believe the only cure for a state mired in debt is to raise taxes.

That’s what Madigan wants.

But it’s not that simple.

A recent internet posting by Federal Reserve economists found: “Illinois has little room to increase taxes

without reducing economic activity in ways that would be damaging.”

In other words, the state’s economy could go into a tailspin with a large tax hike.

Another solution to Illinois’ dismal fiscal predicament would be to grow the economy by adopting economic reforms embraced by more prosperous states.

But Madigan has blocked Rauner’s efforts to pass those reforms.

So Illinois sits at a standstill.

How can Illinois get out of this economic quagmire? By taking power from Madigan.

We don’t get to decide on who is Speaker of the House. But we do get to vote on those who get to decide.

Remember that when you walk into the voting booth.

Now some people are urging us to vote for Franks as County Board chairman so he can lead us out of our own financial problems. This makes sense?

Callous disregard

To the Editor: Since the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), more than 15 million formerly uninsured Americans now have health insurance ... people who, for whatever reason, were unable to obtain or afford insurance in the past.

Peter Roskam both called Obamacare a “failure” in your Aug. 26 issue. What’s a “failure” about 15 million formerly uninsured Americans now having health insurance?

The only “failure” is the desire of both representatives that Obamacare would not succeed.

Yes, there are problems with Obamacare, but rather than serve their constituents and work to ameliorate those problems, both voted tens of times to repeal Obamacare, and have yet to offer any plan that would insure those 15 million Americans.

Congressmen, does your astonishingly callous disregard for the health of your constituents make you both members of the “death panels” Sarah Palin inveighed against in 2009?

SPRINGFIELD – Just when you think things can’t get any worse in Illinois, they do.

Illinois, which already has the worst credit rating of any state, had its credit rating downgraded again last week, proving that even when you are at the bottom, you can sink even lower.

I’ve been writing about Illinois’ fiscal woes for years now.

And you have been reading about those problems for just as long.

It’s a helpless feeling seeing our great state slide into fiscal ruin.

And the Illinois General Assembly hasn’t done much of anything to address the issue.

Oh, we have seen empty motions on their part. I’ve seen them pass “reforms” that they pretty much knew were going to be ruled unconstitutional by the state supreme court, but they passed them anyway.

I guess if you aren’t going to get anything done, it’s best to at least look busy.

Folks are always asking me: Who is to blame?

BUSINESS Google gets aggressive with new phones, other gadgets

By MICHAEL LIEDTKE and BRANDON BAILEY The Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO – Google is ratcheting up its rivalry with Apple and Amazon in unveiling new smartphones and an internet-connected speaker sporting a digital assistant that the company hopes to make indispensable.

The devices unveiled Tuesday are part of Google’s bold move to design and sell its own hardware, instead of just supplying Android and other software for other companies to make products.

Google’s previous attempts at hardware have had limited distribution and have included such high-profile flops as its internet-connected Glass headgear.

This time around, Google is betting big that it has matured to the point that it can design software and hardware to work seamlessly with each other – an art that Apple mastered during the past 15 years as it mesmerized consumers with its iPods, iPhones, iPads and Macs.

Borrowing another page from Apple’s book, Google is backing its expanded product lineup with the biggest marketing campaign in its 18-year history.

In promoting the Pixels, Google highlighted a camera it said trumps the latest iPhone, a long-lasting battery and a dedicated headphone jack – a staple that Apple eliminated from the iPhones released last month. And while past Google phones primarily relied on sales through Google’s online Play store, the Pixel also will be sold by Verizon in the U.S. The phones come out Oct. 20, with advance orders starting Tuesday.

Analyst Patrick Moorhead of Moor Insights & Strategy said in an email that Google was smart to emphasize the performance of the new smartphone cameras, but other features in the new phones didn’t seem that much different AP photo from what Samsung and Apple have ofBrian Rakowski, Google vice president of product management, talks about the camera fered in their latest devices.

The helper will respond to spoken questions such as “How do you remove wine stains out of the carpet?” and commands to control the volume of the television and other home appliances with internet connections.

Ben Stiller credits prostate cancer test for saving life

An employee of the Tucson Botanical Gardens plants marigolds Tuesday for the upcoming exhibit “Frida Kahlo: Art, Garden, Life.” The exhibit, which broke attendance records in New York City during its six-month run there last year, will debut Monday in Tucson.

Frida Kahlo exhibit from New York City heads to Tucson TUCSON, Ariz. – The blockbuster Frida Kahlo exhibit in New York City that attracted the likes of even Beyoncé is finding a temporary home in Tucson.

“Frida Kahlo: Art, Garden, Life” broke attendance records at the New York Botanical Garden during its six-month run last year, attracting more than 500,000 visitors.

The large exhibit will debut in Arizona on Monday at the Tucson Botanical Gardens. It hasn’t traveled to any other gardens and likely will not.

“To me it’s transformative, and it’s a way for us to connect people in a whole new way,” executive director Michelle Conklin said. “We don’t know what to expect, but I do know in New York they hit all attendance records in their 150-year history. So we know we’re gonna break all of our attendance records in our 40-year history.”

The Mexican artist, long revered as one of the most influential painters in Latin America, has gained wide popularity in pop culture in the past several years. Beyoncé dressed up as her one Halloween and last year posted pictures on social media of herself and her family touring the New York City.

The garden exhibit is a replica of Kahlo’s own creation in Casa Azul, her home in Coyoacán, a Mexico City borough where the artist lived most of her life. It includes cacti, marigolds, a scale version of the pyramid at Casa Azul and even a replica of Kahlo’s home studio. The Tucson Botanical Gardens will host poetry walks, lectures and native plant tours during the exhibit’s expected eight-month run.

NEW YORK – Ben Stiller on Tuesday revealed that he battled prostate cancer in 2014, and he credits the test that diagnosed the cancer with saving his life.

In an essay posted on the website Medium, Stiller recounted his experience with prostate cancer in detail. He compared the moment of being informed by his urologist that he had cancer to his own “Breaking Bad” scene.

“His voice literally faded out like every movie or TV show about a guy being told he had cancer ... a classic Walter White moment, except I was me and no one was filming anything at all,” Stiller wrote.

Stiller is now cancer-free and he said he believes that would never have happened without a PSA or prostate-specific antigen test. Stiller said he wanted to tell his story in support of the much-debated test.

Stiller had his PSA test when he was 46, four years before the American Cancer Society recommends. Many experts said a PSA can do as much harm as good. PSA tests are imprecise, and they can lead to unnecessary treatment of nonlethal cancers.

New health law endures growing pains

Progress, questions as Ohio legalizes medical marijuana

By MAE ANDERSON The Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Life under Ohio’s fledgling medical marijuana law remains hazy. With every action, a new question seems to arise.

The state Medical Board has advised doctors not to recommend marijuana to patients while Ohio’s program is being crafted, which could take up to two years. But an author of the law questions that advice.

Attorneys have been cleared to help clients navigate the law, but new legislation makes any advice they give a moving target.

As the law ramps up, here’s a look at some of the latest developments:

Doctors warned not to recommend

The Ohio State Medical Board, which regulates doctors, put in writing its guidance advising doctors not to recommend marijuana to patients.

The law gives adult patients and parents or guardians of minor children an affirmative defense for certain marijuana-related acts that still may be considered crimes until Ohio’s law is fully implemented.

But the board said physicians need one of its “certificates to recommend” before they can write written recommendations for medical marijuana for their patients. Rules for how those certificates will work haven’t been written yet. The board has two years.

Democratic State Sen. Kenny Yuko, one of the law’s authors, questioned the board’s directive. He said the law wasn’t supposed to work this way.

Yuko said the law spelled out “everything a physician would need to do to provide patients with this limited, short-term protection without having to wait for the agencies.” Yuko said the law’s affirmative defense section was a compromise built into the bill so patients wouldn’t have to wait two years for their medicine.

The board has advised doctors to consult their employer or their lawyer.

Lawyers can give marijuana advice

While initially reticent, attorneys now have been cleared to proceed.

Canna Care employee John Hough waters young marijuana plants at the medical marijuana dispensary in Sacramento, Calif. Life under Ohio’s fledgling medical marijuana law remains hazy. With every action, a new question seems to arise. Attorneys have been cleared to help clients navigate Ohio’s law. But even if doctors can recommend cannabis, legislation is proposed that would limit the number of states where Ohioans legally could get it. a rule change Sept. 20 that clarified lawyers’ ethical responsibilities as they relate to the medical marijuana law.

The high court made clear attorneys are free to counsel or assist clients when it comes to conduct “expressly permitted” under the legislation that laid out how Ohio’s medicinal cannabis program will work.

The guidance says lawyers may advise clients on how to navigate the law, what it permits and how it’s implemented. They also must mention how that relates to federal law.

Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor said the court wanted to act quickly after an advisory opinion issued by a professional conduct panel in August suggested lawyers might run into ethical problems since using, growing and selling marijuana remains a federal crime.

Legal debate rages

If lawyers begin advising doctors and patients they’re adequately protected to begin recommending and using medical marijuana, there’s still a big question: Where can it be legally obtained.

Since pot is not being legally grown in Ohio yet, many have thought to turn to other states where it is legal. But, not so fast.

First-term state Rep. Kyle Koehler, a Springfield Republican, proposed legislation last month that would limit medical marijuana purchases to states with similarly restrictive medical marijuana laws.

That means any state that allows marijuana to be smoked or grown at home would be off limits, since Ohio’s law prohibits both.

Of 25 states where medical marijuana is legal, 15 allow residents

to grow their own, and only four besides Ohio – New York, Minnesota, Louisiana and Pennsylvania – prohibit smoking it as a treatment option.

Ohio Cannabis Association Executive Director Brian Wright said, “Patients need help, not tinkering,” calling the bill misinformed.

A commission to sort it all out

Ohio’s commerce department and the medical and pharmacy boards will operate the state’s medical marijuana program. First, an advisory committee has to be created to design the program.

The group slowly is taking shape.

Republican Gov. John Kasich made his appointments last month. The four legislative leaders, a Republican and Democrat from each chamber, also get to name appointees.

public health.”

A week later, BMJ Editor Fiona Godlee fired back, asking England’s chief medical officer, Sally Davies, to create an independent review of the evidence for statins, saying it was the only way “an increasingly bitter and unproductive dispute is to be resolved.”

The dispute is more subdued but just as urgent in the United States.

“It may not be in the press, but it is in the professional community,” according to Rita Redberg, a cardiologist at the University of California in San Francisco, and the editor of one of the major medical journals in the United States, JAMA Internal Medicine.

Redberg has been a prominent critic of the existing guidelines, which she believes lead to overuse among people with low risk of heart disease. She said many of those at low risk who take statins may suffer the drugs’ side effects unnecessarily. These problems potentially include muscle pain, increased risk of diabetes (especially for women), slowed cognitive function, cataracts and sexual dysfunction.

“You see patients every week who complain about how miserable they feel because they were on statins, but have been put on them by doctors,” Redberg said.

To Collins, negative side effects of statins are real – but also exceedingly rare, according to his study. He also points out most side effects will go away with either a lower dosage or switching to a different statin.

“It’s a force for good, and to characterize it as otherwise is a bit perverse,” he said.

Simply raising concerns about statins freaks out their staunchest advocates, who worry the message will drive people away from the drugs.

The BMJ discovered as much this year in a study of statin use in Britain.

“Patients already taking statins were more likely to stop taking them for both primary and secondary prevention after [a] high media coverage period,” the report stated, suggesting that could translate to between 2,000 and 6,000 heart attacks or “cardiovascular events” in the next 10 years.

So a reminder: Don’t stop taking a statin after reading this article, at least not before consulting your doctor. Statins clearly save lives.

The key is to consider ongoing research about statins “an ongoing discussion,” said Nieca Goldberg, a cardiologist and medical director of NYU Langone’s Joan H. Tisch Center for Women’s Health.

My doctor once breezily suggested I go on a statin after my LDL, the “bad cholesterol,” spiked several years ago.

“It’s just a matter of time,” he said, “before they put statins in the water supply.”

His half-joke reflected an optimism about cholesterol-lowering drugs that’s made them so popular. If you’re older than 40, there’s about a 30 percent chance you’re on a statin. If you’re older than 65, it’s nearly 50 percent.

A 2011 study showed at least 32 million Americans are on a statin, and under 2013 guidelines issued by the American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology, another 24 million or so Americans should should be on one – Crestor, Lipitor, Zocor, among others – to help prevent heart attacks and heart disease.

But while nearly all experts agree statins are beneficial for people at a substantial risk for heart disease, some medical researchers argue statins do little or no good – and possible harm – for people at lower risk of heart disease. The conflict has burst into public view in the United Kingdom – and likely is heading here, too.

A bruising battle has played out for several years between Britain’s two leading medical research journals, the Lancet and the British Medical Journal (BMJ), which have accused each other of endangering public health. It began when BMJ first questioned statins’ effectiveness in 2014, publishing two articles that argued the drug was being overprescribed to people with low risk of heart disease. It also claimed the side effects from the drugs were worse than previously thought.

A furor ensued.

An eminent statin expert at Oxford University, Rory Collins, called on BMJ to retract the articles – retraction is a mark of shame in science circles – arguing their influence “would lead to unnecessary heart attacks and strokes.”

An independent panel brought in

by BMJ said the journal didn’t need to retract, though the journal did issue a correction about the drugs’ side effects, saying it had misread key data.

Earlier this month, Collins published his own 30-page defense of statins in the Lancet, BMJ’s main competitor. The Lancet’s editor, Richard Horton, contributed a pointed editorial that blasted “disputed research and tendentious opinions,” presumably from BMJ, which he claimed “caused measurable harm to

Protect eyes from harmful UV rays Dear Dr. K: During my last eye exam, my eye doctor advised me to buy a pair of “high quality” sunglasses. But she didn’t tell me what she meant by high quality.

Can you help?

Dear Reader: When you buy sunglasses, it’s natural to look for a style that looks good on you and is comfortable. But don’t fail to consider the most important detail: the amount of harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation the lenses screen out. Without proper UV protection, sunglasses can work against you by enabling you to see comfortably in light that is harming your eyes.

UV radiation can penetrate the clouds, even on overcast winter days. That’s why the American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends everyone wear sunglasses whenever they are outdoors.

Since 1998, the FDA has regulated nonprescription sunglasses as medical devices.

It requires lenses to be impact-resistant, nontoxic and nonflammable. Beyond that, though, options vary, and some choices are better than others. You’ll want to consider the following: • The label. Look for 99 percent or 100 percent UV protection, or UV400, which means the lenses absorb wavelengths up to 400 nanometers, thus blocking all harmful UV rays.

• The size. The larger the lenses, the better protection they offer. Wraparound lenses are the best because they prevent UV rays from entering at the side.

• The shade. Although it might seem counterintuitive, darker isn’t automatically better. The darkness of the lens affects only the ability to filter out visible light.

The protection from UV light is conferred by coatings applied to the lens.

Yet shading is important in protecting you from glare – a different problem from UV light. For many people, very bright light

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff causes an unpleasant sensation. It makes you squint, and it’s harder to see clearly.

Lenses come in different shades, for different situations. For example, dark lenses are best for a sunny day on the water, while lighter tints might be better choices for overcast days. These days, you can get “photochromic” lenses that change their shade depending on the amount of light.

Indoors, they are clear. Outside in bright sun, they become a dark shade.

• Optical quality. When you’re trying on sunglasses, focus on a vertical edge or line and move your head back and forth. If the line wiggles, the lens might have an optical defect.

• The fit. You want the frames to fit comfortably, with the lenses directly in front of your eyes.

• The cost. There is no relationship between the price tag on a pair of sunglasses and the protection it offers. As long as the labels specify 99 percent or 100 percent UV protection, or UV400, and have no optical defects, an inexpensive pair from a dollar store will do the job as well as pricier sunglasses from a designer boutique. If you want glasses that change their shade depending on the amount of light, such prescription lenses will cost you more.

Most people who buy expensive sunglasses are spending their money on how they think the glasses look, not on the “high quality” of the glasses.

Dear Abby: My DEAR ABBY husband travels frequently with Jeanne a work crew. It Phillips is not unusual for them to be gone for months at a time. During these absences, some of the married men on this crew cheat on their wives, who are at home with their children.

I feel guilty knowing they are cheating. I don’t want them bringing home any sexually transmitted diseases to their unsuspecting spouses. My husband says I should stay out of it because it’s not my business, but I feel bad saying nothing.

Should I speak to the wives? I have seen the cheating firsthand, so I’m certain it is happening. I would want to know if it were me. – Torn In The Northeast Dear Torn: You have a moral dilemma, one I can’t decide for you. It is extremely important you talk further with your husband about this. While I respect your motivation to disclose what you have seen to the wives, before doing anything you carefully must consider what the consequences could be. If you do what you are contemplating, your husband is sure to be ostracized by his co-workers. He could lose his job, and you your marriage.

Dear Abby: I’m a 14-year-old girl with two younger brothers. They fight all the time, which I understand is normal. The problem is, my dad favors my youngest brother. If there’s a conflict between my brothers, he always punishes the oldest whether he deserves it or not. I have come to realize this is because of my dad’s own bad relationship with his older brother and this is his way of getting revenge.

It’s taking a toll on my brother emotionally because he already struggles with school and sports. I’m afraid he will become depressed.

My mom will never speak up about it, and when I do, despite my good relationship with my dad, he punishes me. Sometimes I’m afraid he’ll become violent. I feel boxed in, Abby. Please help. – Stuck Sister Dear Sister: You’re a brave girl, and I’m glad you wrote. Regardless of how dysfunctional your father’s relationship may have been with his older brother, it does not give him the right to abuse your brother. Your mother may be afraid of your father, or she would have put a stop to it years ago.

You say you are afraid your father will become violent with you, which suggests you have seen it happen to other family members.

If you try to discuss this further with your dad, you might be at risk for violence.

It’s important you find an adult you trust who can intervene on your brother’s behalf – a teacher, a relative or even a neighbor.

Another strong male might be what it takes to protect your brother.

P.S. If this doesn’t solve the problem, please write to me again and let me know.

BOYS GOLF: CLASS 3A HUNTLEY REGIONAL

Perfect day for PR

Wolves shoot season-low 302 to win regional

By ALEX KANTECKI

akantecki@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – Prairie Ridge’s Ethan Farnam shot an even-par 72 Tuesday at Pinecrest to claim his second straight individual regional championship, but that wasn’t the highlight of the senior’s day.

The Wolves, who won their first Fox Valley Conference championship since 2004 last week, added their first regional title in 12 years with a season-low 302 to win the Class 3A Huntley Regional, 19 strokes ahead of the runner-up.

“I wasn’t even needed today, so that was the highlight,” said Farnam, who captured his first FVC Tournament title last week with a 73. “I could have came in triple (bogey), triple, triple, and we still would have got the win.

“Coming into today, everybody really found their groove. Everybody played safe, which is what we talked about – staying conservative. I was really proud of what we did today.”

The Wolves’ sixth score was an 80, and all six golfers finished in the top 13.

Junior Cameron Karney tied for second place with a 75, Dominic Leli (77) tied for sixth, James Michaelson and Stephen Nalepa tied for eighth with 78s, and Joe Thompson had an 80 to take 13th.

“It was fun to see everybody scoring low and playing well,” Prairie Ridge coach Jonathan Powell said. “They don’t think so ever. Whatever they come in, they want to be three strokes lower.

The guys were really loose today ... and we’re pumped for sectionals. These kids have had a goal of getting to state for a very long time.”

“It’s really competitive between us,” Leli said. “It’s really fun on the bus going back and forth with each other and talking (smack). It’s lower pressure with (Farnam and Karney at the top), but we all have to do our part and shoot low.”

Cary-Grove and Crystal Lake South each shot a 321, with the Trojans taking second with a lower fifth golfer score.

The 2015 regional medalist did not have a great day, but his 12-over-par 83 was enough to finish tied for fifth overall and advance to next week’s sectional.

Years since Marian Central last won a boys golf regional title (2008) before Tuesday

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

Kevin Smith led Marian Central to a regional title in his first year as boys head coach. He previously served as an assistant coach for the Hurricanes’ girls team for five years, also winning a regional title in his first year in that position. and picked up a few guys that didn’t.”

Behind Wagner, James Lydon shot an 84, Andrew Lydon shot an 86 and Evan Caselton shot an 87.

“It was all based on my tee shot,” Wagner said. “I was trying to get on the green in regulation. Then I know I can two-putt it for par. That was just going through my mind the whole time. The course played really well. It was a little tricky; the greens were pretty fast.”

Genoa-Kingston’s Nick Gargani finished as the medalist with a 77.

Wagner and Sycamore’s Keegan White each recorded a 78.

Richmond-Burton’s 359 as a team was 16 strokes behind third place.

Despite not advancing as a team, the Rockets advanced five individuals.

Sophomore Jackson Bolman’s 84 led the Rockets. Also advancing was Connor Lindley, Everett Robinson, Josh Hansel and Matt Eskuri.

“It would have been great to advance as a team, but it’s nice to get five through,” coach Brad Tichenor said.

“That says a lot about a program.”

Hansel and Eskuri each shot a 93, tied for the last qualifying spot. Hansel, the Rockets’ lone senior, just barely snuck in to keep his high school career alive.

Marengo’s Connor Wascher advanced with an 83, tied for fifth overall. The Indians finished fifth as a team with a 378. Harvard was one spot behind them with a 406 for sixth place.

The Hornets’ top performer was James Crout, who finished tied for 30th with a 99.

The Hurricanes have a chance to qualify for the state finals as a team for the first time since 2003 at next week’s sectional.

“We know sectionals is going to be tough, but we’re going to give it what we’ve got,” Smith said. “It’s pretty good competition. These guys know what’s ahead of them.”

Inside Boys Soccer ATHLETE OF THE WEEK ALONZO CARRILLO Harvard, sr., F The senior captain led Harvard to three consecutive conference wins by a combined score of 17-2.

Carrillo was involved in 11 of those 17 goals, scoring nine (including five in one game and three in another) and assisting on two more.

NORTHWEST HERALD POWER RANKINGS (Through Monday) 1. Harvard (12-0-1, 9-0 Kishwaukee River Conference): The Hornets are the county’s last remaining undefeated team and move into the top spot with McHenry losing this week. The Hornets kept rolling with three conference wins this week, led by Carrillo’s nine goals, while Adrian Gorostieta had four goals and two assists, Alfred Pichardo had a goal and five assists, and Ismael Albarran had three goals and two assists.

Proud Sponsor of Athlete of the Week 2. Dundee-Crown (10-7-0, 5-1 Fox Valley Conference): The Chargers continued to roll, beating Prairie Ridge, 3-1, before knocking off McHenry in penalties. D-C has won five consecutive conference games since dropping its FVC opener to Huntley and controls its own chances at a conference title.

3. McHenry (13-1-2, 3-1 FVC): The Warriors took their first loss of the season Thursday, losing to Dundee-Crown on penalty kicks after a scoreless regulation and overtime. “We’ve been on a pretty good run, and we’ve grinded a lot of games out, and that one we just weren’t able to grind out at the end,” coach Tony Caruso said.

The loss was sandwiched between wins

over Crystal Lake Central and a bounceback 3-2 win over Lakes.

4. Jacobs (10-3-4, 4-0 FVC): The Golden Eagles went 2-0-1 on the week and remained the only undefeated team in FVC play, beating Crystal Lake South and CaryGrove. The Golden Eagles drew, 0-0, with Naperville Central over the weekend. In the process, Noah Melick’s scoring streak ended at 10 consecutive games with either a goal or an assist.

5. Huntley (11-4-1, 3-1 FVC): The Red Raiders won a pair of conference games the past week, keeping themselves in the hunt for a conference title. Seniors Aaron Ruffner and Zach Whitaker continued to lead the offense, each scoring a pair of goals. The Red Raiders close out the season with four conference games over eight days.

NOTEWORTHY Missing Mulhall: McHenry always sets out to be sound defensively first and attack-minded second, but the Warriors’ offense has been even further hamstrung this year by the absence of senior captain

James Mulhall. The midfielder/forward is dealing with an knee sprain and has been sidelined for all but four of the Warriors’ 16 games after he had 26 goals and 10 assists as a junior.

“He hurts a little as far as not having his offensive punch,” Caruso said. “We’ve grinded them out without him so far. But he’s hopefully due back the week of October 10th, the week before playoffs.”

If he does return next week, Mulhall could feature in the Warriors’ final three regular-season games, beginning Monday at Libertyville, or wait for the final two FVC games, at home against Hampshire (Oct. 11) and Crystal Lake South (Oct. 13).

THIS WEEK’S TOP MATCH Jacobs at Dundee-Crown, 4:30 p.m. Tuesday A matchup of the Fox Valley Conference’s two hottest teams and two of the most electric offensive players in Jacobs’ Noah Melick and Dundee-Crown’s Julian Ajroja.

ELGIN – Marian Central senior golfer Wyatt Wagner was talking, but his eyes kept gravitating toward the Class 2A Burlington Central Regional championship plaque cradled in his left arm.

“It feels pretty great,” Wagner said.

“It’s my senior year, and this is the first time we’ve won a regional in my four years.”

It has been longer than that.

Led by Wagner’s 7-over-par 78 Tuesday at Bowes Creek in Elgin, the Hurricanes claimed their first regional title since 2008.

Marian Central’s 335 topped Burlington Central by five strokes. Sycamore was the third team to advance with a 343. All three qualified for Monday’s sectional hosted by St. Viator at Old Orchard in Mount Prospect.

“This is awesome,” Marian coach Kevin Smith said. “We had some great guys come through with some scores

OAKWOOD HILLS’ GIULIANO SWITCHES GEARS

Giuliano, 31, still competitive as amateur racer

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com

• Wednesday, October 5, 2016

The vast knowledge Ryan Giuliano accrued through his years of triathlon racing was undeniable.

As he succeeded, both as a professional and an amateur, people sought him out for training suggestions.

The 31-year-old Oakwood Hills man willingly offered advice, giving back to his sport. Giuliano dropped his professional status four years ago to compete as an amateur, although outsiders barely can tell from his results.

Giuliano routinely finishes ahead of professionals in some triathlons, including his 38th-place overall finish last year at the Kona Ironman World Championships in Hawaii, which is considered the sport’s Super Bowl.

Ironman races are 2.4-mile swims, followed by 112-mile bike rides and a 26.2-mile run.

Giuliano will race the Kona Ironman again Saturday, along with his wife, Jacqui, and should be one of the top amateur finishers. With a strong year behind him and two first-place finishes, he could move up from last year’s Kona finish, again beating many of the 50 professionals who will be in the field.

“It’s always super-competitive,” Giuliano said. “It’s always a little intimidating when you get there and you start to realize that every single athlete who is there is very qualified and very good. They put in all the work just as hard and earn their spot to compete there as well. Last year I was third place amateur in my age group and 10th overall. I’m hoping I can move up on both of those places and see what happens from there. You never know from year to year.”

Giuliano won Ironman competitions in Houston, where there were professionals racing, and in Lake Placid, an all-amateur race. He is pleased at breaking the 3-hour barrier in the marathon portion of his two Ironmans this year.

No longer being a pro led Giuliano to a new job opportunity as a triathlon coach. He quit his job with PowerBar last year and now designs workout programs for about 15 triathletes. He also will start working next month

RIGHT: Ryan Giuliano rides through his neighborhood. with Multisport Madness Triathlon Team, an elite youth team in the St. Charles area.

“There was more I wanted to learn and experience as an amateur because it’s going to be a lot more relatable to athletes I’m working with,” Giuliano said. “Racing professionally is almost a completely different style of racing.

Dropping back to amateur allowed me to get back to my roots and learn more about amateur style and how it plays out.”

••• Megan Hode attended Crystal Lake South with Jacqui Aubert, one of the best distance runners in Gators’ history. The two kept in touch through the years and when Hode, who lives in Crystal Lake, decided to try triathlons, she found her old teammate.

“I knew her husband was this marathon/triathlon god,” Hode said.

“I contacted her to see if he could give me some tips.”

That was in the fall of 2013, after Hode already had done her first Ironman without really knowing what she was doing. She did not even own biking shoes like most racers had.

“If I did it, I needed to get some serious help,” Hode said. “Last year, I would try to pay him and he’d throw it back in my face. Other times, he would accept it. I might get him a gift card so he couldn’t turn it down. He hated to accept money.”

After leaving PowerBar, Giuilano set up rybreadracing.com, his website where he works with his clients.

He was all in on coaching, while still competing as one of the nation’s best amateurs.

“Last year, I started toying with the idea that this would be something I could do pretty much full-time because there’s a lot of people out there and the sport is growing drastically,” Giuliano said. “Most of the time it spreads by word of mouth. You get good results from your athletes and people start seeing what they’re doing and the corrections they’ve made, and it catches people’s eyes a little bit.”

Hode was thrilled when she completed the Lake Placid Ironman this summer in 11 hours, 22 minutes. She and her brother, Mark, are Giuliano’s clients.

“Ryan understands that life happens,” Hode said. “Every workout for his other athletes are personalized to them. Work schedules, kids, life, spouses, things get in the way. And every athlete he has have personalized workout schedules to accommodate their lives. That’s what you need.

Getting a cookie-cutter workout plan will get you across the finish line, but it’s not going to get you exactly what you want.”

••• Giuliano graduated from Conant High School in 2003 and ran for two years at Illinois before transitioning into his triathlon career. He earned his degree in kinesiology in 2008 and competed as amateur after college, then as a pro for three years, before dropping back to amateur status.

Giuliano is the top-ranked U.S. amateur in his age group (30-34) for the third straight year. He can do most of his workout-planning for clients online, which allows him flexibility for his own training.

“It varies from person to person and what level they’re looking at,” Giuliano said. “Some people I can’t really meet with them, they’re farther away, that’s more phone and email. I use a specific program online where all their workouts and data are stored so I can pretty much see everything that they are doing.”

Giuliano says technology helps him thoroughly evaluate everything his athletes are doing.

“It’s crazy, with the amount of technology that’s out there these days,” Giuliano said. “People running with GPS watches, computers on their bikes and they can upload every workout and I can monitor it every single day, providing feedback and making sure they’re making the right progress to hit their goals. It’s sort of nice because I can monitor and give constant feedback to make sure they’re on the right path.”

Giuliano said the coaching is still a work in progress. He spends early parts of his week analyzing data from this clients and monitoring their workouts. Later in the week he will develop their plans for going forward.

Everything is specific to that person and how their workouts have progressed.

“It’s amazing. I was absolutely clueless when I asked him for advice,” Hode said. “And here we are, three years later and I have one of the best coaches I could ever imagine. To say it’s going well is an understatement, for sure.”

6 CUBS

BETTING ODDS

Wood, Rizzo last 2 standing

Pitcher, first baseman only holdovers from 100-loss team

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

Neither one made the Opening Day roster that year.

But by June 26 they were Cubs teammates – two of the 53 players who would play at least a game for Theo Epstein’s first team in Chicago in 2012.

It was the first 100loss season for the franchise in 46 years, the first of three seasons of tanking before the buildup under the new regime.

“It’s not something Travis Wood we just sit around and talk about, but we’ve mentioned it from time to time,” Cubs left-hander Travis Wood said of conversations with teammate Anthony Rizzo. “Just about how it’s been a long, hard-fought battle, and we’re finally happy to see the outcome and where we’re at now.”

They are the Cubs’ ultimate survivalists.

By making it this far together – on the brink of a postseason run many predict will lead to the World Series – Wood and Rizzo are the only two left standing from Year 1 of a top-to-bottom organizational overhaul that has churned hundreds of players through its big-league roster in that span.

They also are the only two players in history to play for a 100-loss Cubs team and a 100-win Cubs team.

“Just to see what Theo and Jed [Hoyer] have done over the last five years is pretty impressive,” said Wood, who goes into the playoffs in a linchpin relief role, “with the guys that they ran in and out of here, and the pieces that ended up sticking, and then going out and getting some key pieces that we needed. …”

First baseman Anthony Rizzo (above) and pitcher Travis Wood are the only two holdovers from the Cubs’ 100-loss season in 2012.

Neither saw 200 wins over the past two seasons coming so quickly when they were acquired in trades during Epstein’s first three months in charge.

“I came in just trying to establish myself in the big leagues,” said Rizzo, who since being acquired from San Diego in a trade for Andrew Cashner that January has become a three-time All-Star and a 2016 MVP candidate.

“I was just happy to get over here with a fresh start and fortunate to stay,” said Wood, who was acquired from the Reds for Sean Marshall two weeks before the Rizzo trade – and who became an All-Star starter in 2013.

Since those trades, the two have been teammates over five seasons with more players than they can remember – from Alfonso Soriano and Ryan Dempster to Joe Mather, Mike

Olt, Jason Berken, Manny Corpas, Cody Ransom, Ian Stewart, Lendy Castillo, Donnie Murphy, Alex Burnett, Chris Valaika and, briefly, Alex Hinshaw.

Rizzo in particular has talked more than once about appreciating how far he and the Cubs have gone since enduring that 101-loss season in 2012.

“It wasn’t fun,” said Rizzo, who went through three consecutive lastplace finishes. “At the same time, you’ve still got to go out and play every day. But in ’14 we started kind of an uphill trend. And now we’re here.”

As the Cubs finished strong in 2014, Rizzo publicly predicted a division championship in 2015 that seemed ridiculous at the time (three months before Jon Lester was signed).

And he figures that prediction came true after the third-place Cubs knocked off second-place Pittsburgh and then first-place St. Louis in the playoffs.

This time, he offers no predictions heading into what might be the Cubs’ most anticipated postseason in generations.

But there might not be another player in the clubhouse who appreciates more how far the Cubs have gone in five years. Except for maybe one.

“Maybe the most satisfying part about it is that a lot of people that doubted what was going on are now either jumping on the bandwagon or saying that they believed in the plan the whole time,” he said. “I remember a lot of times people doubting what was going on here, the big picture.

“That’s the best part, obviously other than the winning. I feel like we gutted it out, and [the front office] did what they needed to do, and now we have a pretty good chance,” he said.

“It’s not guaranteed, but the formula’s there to be good for a while.”

No surprises in playoff rotation; Lester to start Game 1

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

The Cubs made their four-man playoff rotation official Tuesday, with no surprises.

Whether they face the Mets or the Giants, Cy Young candidate Jon Lester (19-5) starts Game 1 for the Cubs at 8:15 p.m. Friday, with major-league ERA leader Kyle Hendricks (16-8) starting Game 2 on Saturday night.

Opening Day starter Jake Arrieta (18-8) is scheduled for Game 3 on Monday in New York or San Francisco, with 20-start playoff veteran John Lackey (11-8) in Game 4 if necessary.

Jason Hammel (15-10), who was scratched from his final start of the season because of elbow tightness, is out of the rotation and likely off the first-round playoff roster – despite faring well in two innings of a simulated game Tuesday.

“A lot of it’s just been based on recent productivity,” manager Joe Maddon said of the rotation decisions, “the fact that Jon’s just nailed it. Kyle’s nailed it. But they’ve also been very good at home, where Jake’s always also been good on the road, and I think John Lackey doesn’t care where he pitches.”

Lester was 10-2 with a 1.74 ERA at Wrigley Field this year; Hendricks, 9-2, 1.32.

The Giants and Mets play Wednesday in the NL wild-card game, with the winner advancing to play the Cubs.

Lester likely would face the Giants’ Johnny Cueto if the Giants win.

Reports from New York on Tuesday night said the Mets were leaning toward rookie right-hander Robert Gsellman (4-2) – who made his bigleague debut Aug. 23 – in Game 1, with veteran Bartolo Colon pitching Game 2.

TORONTO – Edwin Encarnacion hit a three-run homer in the 11th inning off Ubaldo Jimenez, and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Baltimore Orioles, 5-2, in Tuesday night’s American League wild-card game to advance to a division series matchup against Texas.

Jimenez relieved Brian Duensing with one out in the 11th, and Devon Travis singled on a 1-1 pitch. Reigning AL MVP Josh Donaldson singled on the next pitch, and Travis went all the way to third as left fielder Nolan Reimold bobbled the ball.

Encarnacion sent the next pitch, a 91 mph fastball, soaring into the second deck in left. Encarnacion immediately knew it was gone and raised both arms in triumph, index fingers pointed skyward.

Francisco Liriano retired five straight batters on four groundouts and a strikeout for the win after closer Roberto Osuna left with an injury.

Orioles closer Zach Britton, who

was perfect in 47 save chances during the regular season, never got in the game.

“Nobody has been pitching better for us than Ubaldo,” Baltimore manager Buck Showalter said. “It didn’t work out.”

Toronto opens the division series Thursday at Texas. Last year, the Blue Jays beat the Rangers in a five-game division series, sparked by Jose Bautista’s memorable bat flip after a tiebreaking, three-run homer in the seventh inning of Game 5. The teams brawled in May this year when Bautista was punched in the face by Rangers infielder Rougned Odor after a play at second base.

The roof was open at Rogers Centre, formerly SkyDome, where all 24 previous postseason games had been played with it closed.

Bautista led off the second against Chris Tillman with his fifth postseason homer. Mark Trumbo, who led the major leagues with 47 home runs, gave Baltimore a 2-1 lead in the fourth with a two-run homer off Marcus Stroman.

8 BEARS: TWITTER Q&A

Lions’ defense bad, but Loggains had good game

By ADAM L. JAHNS

ajahns@suntimes.com

The Sun-Times’ experts can answer your Bears questions all week on Twitter. Here’s a sampling of Tuesday’s queries sent to @adamjahns, who responds with more than 140 characters: @BPeddie03: Was Sunday a case of (offensive coordinator Dowell) Loggains figuring it out and putting a good game plan together, or just a display of poor (Detroit) defense?

A: You’re right in saying that the Lions have a poor defense. They also were without two key starters in defensive end Ziggy Ansah and linebacker DeAndre Levy because of injuries. But Loggains did have a good game plan for backup quarterback Brian Hoyer and rookie running back Jordan Howard.

But Loggains couldn’t execute that plan if the Bears’ defense struggled as it did against the Cowboys or if the offensive line didn’t do its job. The offensive line has improved significantly since Week 1 in Houston, when everything was in flux after left guard Josh Sitton was signed and rookie Cody Whitehair was moved to center. @ryanwanders: (Deiondre’) Hall looks

H. Rick Bamman – hbamman@shawmedia.com

Bears cornerback Deiondre Hall (front) celebrates his interception against the Lions with Harold Jones-Quartey in the fourth quarter Sunday at Soldier Field. like a better outside (cornerback) than (Jacoby) Glenn. Is there a reason he isn’t getting the start that I’m missing?

A: You’re missing second-year cornerback Bryce Callahan, who actually started in place of Glenn opposite veteran Tracy Porter against the Lions.

Cra’Von LeBlanc, who was claimed off waivers from the Patriots before the season, was at nickel back for the second game in a row. Hall has flashed some in games. But what about in practice? I know what the inner-Allen Iverson in you is thinking, but the Bears’ defensive staff values every snap taken

at Halas Hall. Practices are where players still can prove themselves and win jobs. Callahan’s success in practice earned him the nickel-back job last season and also the start at cornerback against the Lions. LeBlanc’s productivity in practice led to his debut at nickel back against the Cowboys. There is a lot to like about Hall. He is viewed as a future starter. But give the fourthround pick time. The Bears are. @bearscubsillini: How is (Kyle) Long not a captain? I still wonder. I know it’s voted on by the players, but I figured he would be without question.

A: Good question. I thought he was a lock with quarterback Jay Cutler to represent the offense. But Bears players noticed the changes in Jeffery.

He’s been more vocal than in years past and not just among receivers. Long, however, still is a leader. He’s arguably the face of the franchise these days.

Don’t forget that coach John Fox uses a leadership council. Players from each position group are represented, and they have weekly meetings with Fox. Long’s voice is heard. @jp3chi: When (Jay) Cutler returns, how can he get more balls to (Kevin) White and (Alshon) Jeffery? One QB

favors another.

A: I know what you’re getting at.

Cutler seemed to focus on Jeffery too much in his two starts, while White was largely ignored. White’s miscue also led to Cutler’s first interception in the season opener. But White has improved over the past two weeks, and Cutler surely has noticed. It starts with Loggains, who has jumpstarted White by having him run routes he’s comfortable with at this point. Still, it’s unknown when Cutler and White will play together again. They’re both on the injury report right now. @PatRealPro: How much input does John Fox have in the offensive play-calling?

A: Play-calling? Loggains, who calls games from the press box, has freedom.

But Fox’s influence on game plans is often overlooked. His coordinators and coaches are in charge of formulating those plans, but Fox has his hands in everything. In general, Fox’s offensive philosophy requires an efficient, lowrisk performance by his quarterback and a strong, reliable running game that complements a staunch defense.

Of course, it doesn’t always work out that way.

BULLS

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com

Bulls rookie guard Denzel Valentine sets up on defense during the second half of a preseason game against the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday at the United Center. games. I want to play him with the ball in his hands as a primary ball-handler.

We’ve been doing that with him some in practice, and he’s done a nice job with it.

In his 11 minutes of work he scored four points on 2-for-5 shooting and had two assists, including a crazy step-back jumper off a crossover.

That’s why Hoiberg was so excited about what Valentine had been showing, both in July Summer League and throughout the camp.

He’s basically a jack-of-all trades, master of none.

“I think he can do both,” Hoiberg said when asked whether Valentine is more scorer or more facilitator. “He’s done a nice job in camp of getting into the paint and making the right play. He’s not a risk-taker. He had one turnover [Monday] night, trying to sneak into a small space, but that’s rare for him.

“He generally makes the right play.

But he’s an aggressive scorer.”

The nice thing about Valentine is he doesn’t have a preference. His attitude is just throw him out there.

“Anywhere,” Valentine said. “Backup point or on the wing. Just depends on the matchups, because there are a lot of different teams doing different things.

The good thing about me is I’m versatile, so I can play the point or be on the wing and I can still be effective.”

CHICAGO – There’s still a lot that Fred Hoiberg wants to see from the 14th overall pick in the NBA June draft.

There’s the ball-handling that has Denzel Valentine penciled in as a backup point guard option. The passing that Hoiberg feels is at a skill level above most rookies. And the shot-making, which was a strength for the versatile guard/forward coming out of Michigan State.

A lot to see indeed.

And now all on hold for at least a couple of weeks.

After going down with a sprained left ankle in the third quarter of a loss to Milwaukee in Monday’s preseason opener, Hoiberg revealed Tuesday that the swelling that took place with the injury now has Valentine on the shelf for at least the next two weeks.

That’s a lot of critical practice times, as well as possibly missing the next four preseason games.

“It is a setback,” Hoiberg said of the injury to Valentine. “Hopefully, we’ll get him back for the last couple exhibition

He’s one of our better instinctive passers, and we’ll miss that element.

“Just from a game standpoint, for rookies in this league this is when you start getting comfortable. Hope to get him back as soon as possible, but we’re not going to rush it. Once we get him back we want to have him back for the rest of the season.”

Hoiberg wasn’t the only one deeming the injury a setback.

“Yeah, I mean, I’ll lose a little bit of time,” Valentine said when asked whether there’s a certain amount of anxiety that comes along with being sidelined in training camp. “But with all the great equipment and staff and trainers that we have, I know they’ll get me back as quickly as I can. If I have to play catch-up, then I’ll just have to play catch-up. It is what it is now. No point in stressing. Just need to take the steps I need to take to get healthy.”

Against the Bucks, he definitely took the steps he needed to take to open up some eyes.

Playing multiple positions, especially the point and acting as the primary ball-handler, Valentine showed flashes of a guy who was worth the lottery pick.

club or a trophy. It was just the King and that insouciant grin that made everyone feel like they were friends, even if they had never met.

“Have there been better golfers?

Perhaps, but not many. Has anyone done more for the game? No one has come even close,” former R&A chief Peter Dawson said. “Is there a finer human being? I haven’t met one yet.”

Ryder Cup captain Davis Love III, Phil Mickelson and a few other members of the U.S. team were there. So was the generation before them, Tom Watson and Curtis Strange, Lee Trevino and Mark O’Meara. Dozens of others were there, along with the heads of every major golf organization. All of them alternately smiled and wiped away the occasional tear.

PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem said he had known Palmer since 1957 – Finchem was 10 that year – because “when you saw him play, it was the same thing as meeting him.”

He said Palmer brought so many people to golf because of his attacking style, his television appeal and how he carried himself.

LATROBE, Pa. – A farewell to the King turned somber when Jack Nicklaus, his voice cracking as a large tear formed in his left eye, urged the elite and the everyman to remember how Arnold Palmer touched their lives and “please don’t forget why.”

“I hurt like you hurt,” Nicklaus said. “You don’t lose a friend of 60 years and don’t feel an enormous loss.”

The service Tuesday at Saint Vincent College in Palmer’s hometown was filled with just as much laughter and warmth from stories of the most significant figure in modern golf. Almost 1,000 golf dignitaries from around the world, referred to by former LPGA Commissioner Charlie Mechem as the “elite battalion of Arnie’s Army,” crammed into the basilica.

Some 4,000 others headed to remote sites across the college to watch. Long lines of traffic formed two hours before the service began.

Palmer died Sept. 25 in Pittsburgh at age 87 as he was preparing for heart

lic service be held after the Ryder Cup so no one would be left out.

“We were looking down at the air strip, and the fog just suddenly lifted,” Ernie Els said after landing in one of several private jets that descended on Arnold Palmer Regional Airport in Latrobe. “This is a beautiful day. We’ve all met different people in life. He was a man who didn’t change. It didn’t matter if you cut the grass or you were a president. He was the same with everybody. He was just ... he was the man.”

Palmer won 62 times on the PGA Tour, including seven major championships. He inspired the modern version of the Grand Slam by going over to the British Open and making it important in the eyes of Americans again. He was a captain twice in the Ryder Cup, and the gold trophy the Americans won Sunday at Hazeltine sat on a table for guests to see as they took their seats.

But this service was more about the lives Palmer touched than the tournaments he won.

12 PRESEASON: BLACKHAWKS 6, RED WINGS 1

Keith looks strong in first action of preseason

By MARK POTASH

mpotash@suntimes.com CHICAGO – It’s not a big surprise that Duncan Keith is still Duncan Keith.

It’s the long, grueling season ahead that is the concern.

The Blackhawks’ two-time Norris Trophy winner showed no ill-effects of the knee problems that forced him to miss the World Cup and four preseason games when he played against the Red Wings on Tuesday night at the United Center. Keith had two assists, a plus-3 rating and looked like himself in a 6-1 victory.

The only concession to the injury was more a concession to rust. His 19:41 of ice time was third among Hawks defensemen behind Brent Seabrook (22:18) and Michal Kempny (20:36). Keith played only 5:20 in the third period as the Hawks (2-3-0) cruised to their second preseason victory in three games.

“I’m ready to roll,” Keith said. “It feels good. I think it was a good test getting back in a game situation, so I was happy with it.”

If Keith showed any signs of discomfort or even rust, coach Joel Quenneville didn’t see it.

Blackhawks goalies Corey Crawford and Scott Darling celebrate a 6-1 preseason win over the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday at the United Center.

“Solid,” Quenneville said when asked about Keith. “Good gap, good play-recognition. Patience. He certainly didn’t look like he missed too much.

Good addition with him helping manage about the same ice time. Really defended well. How he handled it was encouraging.”

The big test, however, will come Wednesday and then Thursday and then Saturday if he plays in the Hawks’ final preseason game against the Blues at Scottrade Center. And then into the regular season, which begins next Wednesday against the Blues at the United Center.

But Keith does not anticipate having to nurse this injury through the season, although it’s unlikely the Hawks will tempt fate by giving Keith the monster minutes he’s had in leading the Hawks in time-on-ice the past 11 seasons.

“I’ve had a lot of injuries over the year, and those are always things you deal with and find a way to work through. And this is no different,” Keith said. “I feel good and I’m happy with it, and I’m excited the way it’s [going] and I think it will be good going forward.”

It still bears watching. Keith’s fortitude is legendary. He’s been described as indefatigable and bionic and referred to as a cyborg and a robot in his brilliant 11-year career. But in reality, he’s human. And at 33, the ever-dependable Keith has to disprove the notion that the wear-and-tear of 935 NHL games and 24,539 minutes is finally taking a toll.

Before last season, Keith had missed

only 10 games to injury in 11 seasons.

But he missed 10 last season after suffering a torn meniscus in his right knee.

And it was still giving him problems in the offseason.

“Right now it doesn’t really affect me, so I just want to keep it that way,” Keith said. “It’s one of those things where it’s going to be just focusing on maintaining my health and doing everything I can to make sure I’m feeling as good as I can.”

But Tuesday night it was good news all around for Quenneville and the Hawks. Corey Crawford played his first preseason game after the World Cup and stopped all eight shots he faced in the first period before Scott Darling replaced him in the second period.

And players fighting for roster spots or playing time made a big impact. Newcomers Ryan Hartman, Vinnie Hinostroza, Nick Schmaltz and 19-year-old Alexandre Fortin scored goals. They’re making it tough on Quenneville and Stan Bowman to cut the roster – and Quenneville couldn’t be happier.

“It’s a real positive organizationally,” Quenneville said. “These young guys, we need some of them. How many will be determined … because they all enhanced their chances.”

With medicine evolving we are able to now offer patients cutting edge treatment options that are alternatives to joint replacement surgery. The Stem Cell Institute of America offers therapies that are cutting edge treatment ideal for improving joint mobility, reducing joint pain and preventing costly and painful surgeries.

At the Wellness Institute of Illinois we have partnered with Stem Cell Institute of America because our providers understand you or someone you love may have been diagnosed with Arthritis, Degenerative Joint Disease or been told you are bone on bone.

We know that as people are diagnosed with these conditions, common

treatments ensue, including OTC medications, prescription drugs, pain killers, physical therapy, injections including cortisone and “rooster comb” (Synvisc, Orthovisc...) and even surgery.

As treatments are tried, the benefit and relief from many of these therapies is short lived and other treatment options are provided to take the previous protocol’s place and still temporary results are obtained. The end result for many of these conditions is major surgery, like a total joint replacement, or live with chronic pain and disability. We have the solution to all these problems and it’s Regenerative Medicine presented by Stem Cell Institute of America.

Regenerative therapy takes advantage of your body’s ability to repair itself, naturally. The army of healing cells is injected to the area by one of our trained practitioners. These procedures are SAFE, ETHICAL and EFFECTIVE at repairing damage and reducing pain while improving your function.

Stem Cell Institute of America’s protocol uses the healing potential of cells derived from Amniotic and Placental Tissue.

This tissue is a rich source of nonimmunogenic cells nearly eliminating the risk of rejection or side effects while providing an incredible healing force in your body. Over the span of a few weeks to months, the cells and growth factors assist your bodies ability to repair and regenerate cartilage, ligaments, joint fluid, muscles, tissues and even nerves. This simple in office procedure can have an incredible impact on your function and restore your pain free life.

If you have kids, then you know thinking about dinner on Halloween is not easy.

Getting the kids out the door with a little something in their stomachs besides candy is one of the few things you can do to wrangle a bit of order into this free-for-all holiday.

My kids are too old to really rein in their candy consumption, so I just make something simple, think of some faraway yoga pose and look forward to rooting around in their bags when they get back.

Quesadillas fit the bill nicely for Halloween: Kids can pick up the cheesy wedges by hand and eat while they look around for the missing pieces of their costumes. After they are on their way, the quesadillas pair nicely with a glass of wine for the grownups left manning the door at home (and the friends who are willing to hang out with them).

This recipe’s particular combination of cheese, chicken and vegetables makes my family happy, but quesadillas are a wonderful springboard for combining all kinds of ingredients, so feel free to use what you like and what’s in your fridge. If you have left-over, simply cooked chicken, use it here. If not, this is what rotisserie chickens were meant for. The olives are optional, but my kids love them.

These make fat quesadillas, which are so much more soul-satisfying than flat, under-filled ones. I’d much rather have two wedges of slightly overstuffed quesadillas than four wedges of skinny ones. If you prefer differently, use more tortillas and fill them with less stuff.

You can keep the quesadillas warm on a baking sheet in a 250-degree oven for 20 to 30 minutes. Cut them into wedges just before serving.

In addition to sour cream and salsa, guacamole or diced avocado makes fine toppings.

Spinach, Mushroom and Chicken Quesadillas Servings: 4

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided 8 ounces sliced mushrooms, any kind, or a mix 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic 1 cup roughly chopped spinach Kosher or coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste 8 8-inch flour tortillas 1 cup shredded cooked chicken 1/4 cup chopped pitted black olives (option-

al) Sour cream and salsa to serve Combine the two cheeses in a small bowl.

Heat 2 teaspoons of the butter in a skillet with a cover over medium heat. When the butter has melted, add the mushrooms and sauté for about 8 minutes. The mushrooms will soften and probably release some liquid as they cook. Continue cooking until all of the liquid has been released, and evaporated, and the mushrooms start to brown a bit. Add the minced garlic and stir for 30 seconds.

Add the spinach, season with salt and pepper, and saute for two minutes until the spinach has wilted.

Turn the vegetables onto a plate and set aside.

Wipe out the skillet, then return it to medium heat and add a half teaspoon of butter. Place a tortilla in the pan and cook for 30 seconds, then flip the tortilla. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture over half of the quesadilla, and distribute about 1/8 (a couple of tablespoons) of both the sautéed vegetable mixture and the shredded chicken over the cheese, as well as some of the chopped olives, if desired.

Top that with another 2 tablespoons of

the shredded cheese. Flip the bare half of the tortilla over the filling, cover the pan, and sauté for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is golden and the cheese has started to melt, then use a spatula to flip the half-moon quesadilla, and continue to cook, uncovered, until all of the cheese is melted and the underside is browned, 2 to 3 minutes.

Remove the quesadilla to a cutting board and let it sit for a minute before you slice into two or three wedges. Repeat until all of the quesadillas are cooked. Serve with salsa and sour cream.

Some like it hot! Cheesecake, that is. Trust us and try it!

By SARA MOULTON The Associated Press

Cheesecake usually is served cold.

So brace yourself for something a little different.

The first time I made this recipe, I pulled it out of the oven and set it on the counter to cool. The plan was to chill it overnight in the refrigerator.

But my dear daughter – also known as The Girl with the Sweet Tooth – just couldn’t wait to dig in. So I handed her a spoon. And when she started babbling with delight, I tried it, too.

It was ridiculously good. So good I now recommend you serve this cheesecake hot, right out of the oven, topped with a little vanilla ice cream or sweetened whipped cream.

That said, getting there requires some care. Be sure to buy plain pumpkin purée, which is sometimes labeled solid pack pumpkin. Avoid anything labeled “pumpkin pie filling” or “pumpkin pie mix,” both of which contain unwanted sugar and spices.

You’re much better off adding those ingredients yourself.

Also, don’t forget to drain the pumpkin purée. Losing the excess liquid from the purée improves the final texture and flavor of the cake.

The cooking also requires some care. You’re going to cook the cake in a water bath, which helps to equalize the temperature in the oven and prevents overcooking. But first the springform pan must be tightly wrapped with foil to prevent any water from leaking into the batter while the cake is baking.

Finally, do your best to not overbake the cake, which will make it dry and crumbly. After the allotted cooking time, it still should be a little jiggly.

Worried the cake might be undercooked at that point? Don’t be. The residual heat will continue to cook it even after you pull it out of the oven.

By the way, this cheesecake also is a knockout when it’s served the usual way – cold. If you decide to go this route, run a knife around the outside edge of the cake to separate it from the pan as soon as you remove the cake from the oven. This will allow the cake to remain intact as it shrinks in on itself, rather than cracking down the middle as it vainly attempts to unglue itself from the sides of the pan.

If you do indeed decide to serve this cold, let it cool completely on a rack on the counter – it’ll take three to four hours – before wrapping it tightly and popping it in the refrigerator to chill overnight. When it’s time, run a knife around the edge of the pan again, care-

fully remove the side of the pan, then slice the cheesecake with a knife dipped in hot water (or use unflavored dental floss). And don’t forget the crowning glory. As noted, whipped cream or ice cream are the accessories of choice.

Warm Pumpkin-Bourbon Cheesecake

Start to finish: 2 hours (45 minutes active) Servings: 16 For the crust: 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus extra for the pan 1 ¼ cups gingersnap cookie crumbs (made by pulsing about 25 cookies in a food processor until finely ground) 1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar 1/4 teaspoon table salt For the filling: 15-ounce can pumpkin puree 3 large eggs 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar 2 tablespoons heavy cream 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/4 cup bourbon, dark rum or cognac 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1 tablespoon cornstarch 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon ground dry ginger 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice

1/2 teaspoon table salt Three 8-ounce packages 1/3-less-fat cream cheese (Neufchatel), room temperature Vanilla ice cream or lightly sweetened whipped cream, to serve Heat the oven to 375 degrees F. Brush the inside of a 9-inch springform pan with melted butter.

To make the crust, in a medium bowl, stir together the 6 tablespoons of butter, the gingersnap crumbs, brown sugar and salt until combined well.

Pour the crumb mixture into the pan and press it evenly over the bottom of the pan. Bake on the oven’s middle shelf for 10 minutes. Transfer to a cake rack and cool for 30 minutes.

Reduce the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a mesh colander with a clean kitchen towel. Mound the pumpkin puree into the towel and set over a medium bowl. Bring the ends of the towel up and gently squeeze to remove excess water (you should be able to squeeze out about 1/4 cup of liquid). Discard the liquid. Rinse and dry the bowl, then in it mix together the pumpkin, eggs, brown sugar, cream, vanilla and bourbon.

Set aside.

In a large bowl, stir together the granulated sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice and salt. Add the cream cheese, then use an electric mixer on high to beat until smooth, about 3 minutes. Add the pumpkin mixture to the cream cheese mixture and beat on low, just until combined.

Bring a large kettle of water to a boil.

Use foil to wrap the bottom and sides of the springform pan. Pour the filling into the pan. Fold a kitchen towel so it fits evenly in a roasting pan just a bit larger than the springform pan. Set the springform pan on top of the towel in the roasting pan. Working quickly, pour enough boiling water into the larger pan to come halfway up the sides of the springform pan. Bake the cheesecake for 65 to 70 minutes, or until it is mostly set but still slightly jiggly at the center.

Spoon some of the cheesecake onto each serving plate and top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a spoonful of whipped cream.

Alternatively, if serving the cheesecake cold, transfer it to a rack, run a sharp knife around the edge and let it cool completely, about 4 hours, before covering with plastic wrap. Chill. To serve, cut into slices and top each slice with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a spoonful of whipped cream.

Cookbook spotlights fast, plant-based dishes

By KELLI KENNEDY The Associated Press

In Angela Liddon’s previous life, there were chia seed doughnuts drizzled with coconut lemon whipped cream and decadent parfaits with homemade jams and hearty granolas for breakfast. At least once a week, the plant-based blogger and cookbook author dreamed up another breakfast.

But these days, breakfast is a bit more utilitarian and typically something that can be eaten on the run while Liddon, who is nine months pregnant, is chasing her 2-year-old daughter. Her second cookbook “Oh She Glows Every Day,” released earlier this month, captures that same spirit and offers easy ways to pack in nutrient-rich, meat- and dairy-free meals that are quick to prepare and, in many cases, can be made ahead of time. The cookbook features more than 100 recipes like fusilli lentil-mushroom Bolognese, roasted brussels sprouts with coconut bacon and curried chickpea salad.

And there are breakfast recipes as well, including black bean rancheros, a breakfast “ice cream” (with avocado in it) and PB&J thumbprint breakfast cookies that can be whipped up in 10 minutes.

The Associated Press recently talked with Liddon about her plantbased diet, her family and eating dessert.

On sticking with a plant-based lifestyle

“I used to eat a lot of packaged, low-calorie diet foods. I would buy the low-calorie frozen dinners all the time and just a lot of processed foods and, once I started eating all these plants and vegetables, I just found my mental energy was much more clear, I could focus on my work, I felt happier, I felt less anxious. For me, it was really discovering that I felt so crummy for a long time and I realized I could eat much more of this food and maintain my weight and have more energy.”

On how to transition to healthy eating

“It doesn’t have to be a black or white thing. You can try one recipe a week, maybe starting off with an easy recipe with something that only takes 15 minutes like my creamy avocado pasta recipe that’s really popular and it’s not as intimidating. I think it’s just really getting in the kitchen and trying some food out and often people are really surprised by how much they

like it and that motivates them to keep going.

“Often you can win people over with dessert more than anything.

That’s a really good way to try to convince people without overwhelming people with an all-vegetable dish.”

On eating with kids

“Dinner’s been hard lately actually because my daughter is going through that picky toddler phase right now. We’ve been eating a lot of pasta lately, which is always good, but I’m starting to get really sick of it. She really likes a mix of marinara sauce with hummus all mixed together so the hummus makes it creamy and then I’ll use hemp hearts to boost the protein and she goes crazy for it.

“We had a whole group of kids testing the recipes so the kid-friendly recipes are indicated, too. The mac and peas and the veggie burgers were a big hit with adults and kids, and there’s a chili cheese nacho recipe that the kids really liked.”

On the cookie chapter

“I basically ate my weight in cookies for weeks and weeks, which was fun. The ultimate flourless brownie recipe, I must have tested

them 30 or 35 times. ... I definitely have some type of sweet every single day. I feel like when they’re homemade they’re just so much better for you. I find that I’m satisfied with a smaller amount.”

ion is translucent. Stir in the curry paste. In a small bowl, whisk together some of the broth with the almond butter until smooth. Add the mixture to the pot, along with the remaining broth, carrots, sweet potatoes, salt and cayenne (if using). Stir until combined. Bring the soup to a low boil over medium-high heat and then reduce the heat to medium-low.

Cover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until the potatoes and carrots are fork-tender.

Ladle the soup carefully into a blender.

You likely will have to do this in a couple of batches, depending on the size of your blender. With the lid slightly ajar to allow steam to escape, blend on low and slowly increase the speed until the soup is completely smooth.

(Alternatively, you can use an immersion blender and blend the soup directly in the pot.)

Return the soup to the pot and season with salt and black pepper.

This soup will keep in the refrigerator for up to a week, and freezes well for 1 to 2 months.

For weeknight ease, embrace these easy, potato-free gnocchi

By SARA MOULTON The Associated Press

You probably associate gnocchi with the Italian dumplings made from potatoes. Making that kind of gnocchi takes time and patience and is not something most people would undertake on a weeknight.

But potato gnocchi aren’t the only kid on the gnocchi block. There are several other varieties, including a ricotta-based type and a batter-based one, the latter of which starts with a batter similar to the one French cream puffs and eclairs are made from. That’s the one I’ll teach you here. But there are a few things to keep in mind when preparing these gnocchi.

Typically, cream puff dough – also known as pate a choux – starts with a pot of boiling water. Here, I am substituting chicken broth and milk for the water, which give the gnocchi a nice savory flavor. After the flour is dumped in, you need to work quickly and aggressively with a wooden spoon to beat the mixture until it is smooth. Don’t worry if you get a few tiny lumps of flour in the dough; they will get worked out when you add the eggs and beat the dough with electric beaters.

Once you successfully have incorporated the flour it takes no time at all to finish cooking the paste, just a few minutes until it pulls away from the sides of the pan.

The next step is adding the eggs.

It is important to cool down the paste a bit by beating it before you add the eggs so they don’t scramble the second they hit it. The usual directions tell you to add the eggs one at a time, but I prefer to beat them together first, then add the beaten eggs in three batches instead. It is very hard to add an egg one a time if you are holding hand beaters with one hand.

Once the eggs are in, it is time to add the seasonings, in this case spinach, salt, pepper and nutmeg.

Simple. Your dough is made.

The rest of the procedure is straightforward. The dough gets dumped in small amounts into boiling water, cooked briefly and finished in the oven with cream and cheese. If you happen to own a 1/8 cup ice cream scoop that would be the perfect tool for dropping the dough into the water. If you don’t, a tablespoon is fine, just make sure to dip it into hot water each time before you scoop up the dough and

mound the dough well on top of the spoon before sliding it into the water (the hot water on the spoon helps the dough to slide off easily).

The gnocchi can be made ahead and chilled. Just let them sit at room temperature for about an hour so they can warm up a bit, then top them with the cream and cheese and bake them off. This is the essence of comfort food; your family will love you.

Baked Spinach Gnocchi With Parmesan Cream Sauce Start to finish: 1 hour 10 minutes (50 minutes active) Servings: 4

11-ounce package baby spinach 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth, divided

1/2 cup whole milk 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces 1 cup (4 ¼ ounces) all-purpose flour 3 large eggs, beaten lightly 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg, or to taste 1/2 cup heavy cream 1 ounce finely grated Parmesan cheese 1 ½ ounces (about 1/2 cup) coarsely grated Gruyere cheese Pour 1/3 cup water into a 12-inch skillet.

Top it with the spinach, then set over high heat. Cook, covered and stirring occasionally, until the spinach is wilted, about 5 minutes. Transfer the spinach to a colander and run cold water over it to cool it.

Working with a handful at a time, squeeze the spinach with your hands over the sink to remove excess water. Finely chop the spinach; you should have about 1/2 cup packed. Set aside.

In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of the chicken broth, the milk and the butter and bring to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat, add the flour and stir constantly with a wooden spoon until smooth. Return the pan to medium heat and cook the paste, stirring, until it pulls away from the sides of the pan and leaves a thin film in the bottom of the pan, 1 to 2 minutes.

Transfer the mixture to a bowl and, using an electric mixer, beat the mixture for a few minutes to cool it down. Add the eggs, a third of the mixture at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the salt, pepper, nutmeg and reserved spinach.

Heat the oven to 425 F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Lightly butter a 9-by-9-inch shallow baking dish or gratin dish.

Working in batches of 8 at a time, drop walnut-size balls of the dough into the water, using either a small 1/8-cup ice cream scoop or a tablespoon (you will need to mound the dough if using a tablespoon), dipped in warm water each time. Maintain the temperature of the water at a simmer and cook the gnocchi for 3 minutes.

Use a slotted spoon to transfer the boiled gnocchi, shaking off the excess water, to the buttered baking dish. Repeat with the remaining dough.

In a small bowl, mix together the remaining chicken broth and the heavy cream, then pour the mixture over the gnocchi.

Sprinkle both cheeses over the top and bake on the oven’s upper shelf until the liquid has reduced slightly and is bubbling around the edges, about 15 minutes.

Increase the heat to broil and broil the gnocchi until the top is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Serve right away.

Onion corn bread leaves lasting memory

By ELIZABETH KARMEL The Associated Press

Over the summer, I traveled to Wooster, Ohio, for a barbecue summit at the headquarters of Certified Angus Beef.

It was a trip filled with learning, camaraderie – and lots of smoked beef.

My fellow barbecue pit masters and I visited a black angus ranch, talked barbecue non-stop, cut a side of beef together – or rather watched as the “meat doctor” Phil Bass cut and explained.

I was introduced to several new cuts including beef belly – also known as beef bacon – which I immediately made when I got back home. But, the standout of the trip wasn’t barbecue at all. Instead, it was a Vidalia onion cornbread made by Ashley Pado, chef of the education and culinary center at Certified Angus Beef headquarters.

Pado headed up a team of chefs preparing that day’s feast that included a table of smoked beef, numerous side dishes, home-baked breads, pickled vegetables and that memorable cornbread that sparkled with a pave of caramelized Vidalia onion rings set in the bottom of the cornbread.

When Pado served the cornbread, she inverted it in the cast-iron pan so you could see the concentric circles of onion baked into the bottom.

Even before we took a bite, the group marveled at the presentation and wondered why more people don’t embellish cornbread.

The cornbread itself is light and cakey with a little tang and a little sweetness, but the salty savory almost-fried onions take it over the top.

Pado sautéed the onions in beef bacon since she had it in her pantry. When I made the recipe, I

adapted it using pork bacon, but you could use butter or any kind of bacon that you can get your hands on.

Ashley’s Vidalia Onion Cast-Iron Cornbread Start to finish: One hour Servings: 8

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour 2/3 cup granulated white sugar 1/2 cup yellow corn meal 1 tablespoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 cup heavy cream 1/2 cup buttermilk 3 whole eggs, beaten 1/3 cup vegetable oil 3 tablespoons melted butter 1 large Vidalia onion, sliced thin and kept together as one piece in rounds 4 slices bacon, diced Equipment: 9- or 10-inch cast-iron skillet Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Sauté bacon over low heat in skillet until crisp. Meanwhile, slice thin rounds of onions, making sure you keep them intact and in one piece.

Remove bacon from pan but leave the bacon grease for the onions to cook in. Carefully place the onion rounds in the bottom of the pan to cover the surface. Let onions cook until the edges begin to brown. Be careful to keep onions in place – the bottom of the skillet will have a “polka-dot” pattern. Season onions with a dusting of fresh ground black

pepper. Turn off the heat and set aside until ready to bake the cornbread. If the pan cools down, warm the pan on low heat before pouring the cornbread batter in pan.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, corn meal, baking powder and salt. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, mix together the cream, buttermilk, oil, eggs and melted butter until combined – the mixture will emulsify. Set aside.

Add wet to dry ingredients and mix until combined. Don’t over mix. Batter should look slightly lumpy.

Just before baking, add the cooked bacon back to the pan and place in the areas around the onions, not on top of the onions or it will interfere with the onion pattern. Pour cornbread batter directly into hot pan. Place in the center rack of the oven and bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Cool in the pan for 20 minutes, run a blunt knife around the edges of the cast-iron skillet to make sure that it isn’t sticking on the sides. Carefully turn the skillet upside down and flip cornbread out of pan to expose onion rounds – you can invert the cornbread and place it upside down back into the skillet for serving.

Serve at room temperature or warm.

I love coffee. My standard order is simple: coffee with milk, no sugar.

I don’t veer off into milkshake-land or over-sweetened hot-chocolate-type drinks with folds of whipped cream.

So when bulletproof coffee – usually a mug of joe blended with butter – became trendy a few years ago, it was a non-issue. Why mess with 30 years of simple coffee-drinking perfection?

Proponents claimed bulletproof coffee helped them lose weight (I was skeptical), and it gave them more energy (wasn’t that the point of caffeine?).

And then I tried it: it was downright delicious; lusciously creamy. Why didn’t the PR folks lead with that?

For those of you who have not tried bulletproof coffee, it essentially is hot coffee blended up with a spoonful of coconut oil or ghee (clarified butter) until the mixture becomes creamy pale brown, as the oil emulsifies. Usually, a little vanilla or cinnamon is added.

Basically, it’s creamy coffee, without the cream, and a coconut flavor undertone. It appeals to the dairy-free and paleo crowd to be sure, but honestly, anyone who loves coffee should try it at least once. (Tip: be very careful when

Place the coffee in a blender and add the coconut oil. Cover, leaving the lid a little askew (so steam doesn’t build up), and cover with a kitchen towel. Carefully blend on medium-high until coconut oil is emulsified into the coffee and it is creamy brown, about 30 seconds. Add the ice cubes and the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth, about 30 more seconds. Pour into a large glass and enjoy.

Note: It’s important to make the bulletproof coffee first before adding the other ingredients so that the coconut oil emulsifies properly.

you blend up hot liquids in a blender.)

Now, imagine that your bulletproof coffee and your favorite smoothie had a child. That is my recipe today – Frozen Bulletproof Coffee – and it may become your new favorite coffee order.

I made this version with peanut butter, banana and cinnamon, but feel free to swap out ingredients – add pumpkin pie spice and you’ll be super seasonal.

Even if you are addicted to the fluffy frozen dessert concoctions that are made in the name of coffee, you will love this

frozen bulletproof coffee.

(Fluffy coffee drinkers note: there’s no added sugar in my recipe, but feel free to add a small spoonful of honey.)

Bulletproof coffee is like being on an exotic vacation.

Bake-Ahead Morning Egg Cups AP photo

Scrambled eggs in muffin tins make mornings easier

By MELISSA D’ARABIAN The Associated Press

When it comes to healthy eating, good intentions and willpower can only take us so far. That’s why I believe strongly in making the healthy choice the easy choice, especially when it comes to morning decisions.

Spending a little time to set myself up for success makes a huge difference in my ability to stick to my healthy living plans. For instance, I set out my workout clothes the night before, so rolling out of bed and into them is a no-brainer. Should the extra 15-seconds it would take for me to open the dresser drawer to grab my exercise clothes be the thing that derails an entire workout? Perhaps not. But alas it does. For me, anyway.

Same thing can happen when it comes to food. When I’m hungry and in a rush, I’m far more likely to grab just anything that will fill my belly. But I’ll absolutely eat a healthy protein-filled breakfast if it’s all prepped and ready to go.

In fact, my whole family eats better when I invest a little time cooking and stocking my freezer with my own version of “fast food.” One of our favorites is the morning egg muffin, which essentially is scrambled eggs baked up in muffin tins.

I make a dozen or two on weekends to keep in the freezer and in less than two microwave minutes, we have a weekday breakfast that is chock-full of filling protein. My secret: I use two eggs to get some of that luscious fat, flavor and color from the yolk and then load up on serious-protein egg whites.

Use whatever veggies you have on hand, and don’t be shy about loading up – even my two pickiest kiddos love these little guys. Make several flavors when you find eggs on sale, and you’ll have a veritable morning buffet of protein for weeks. No last minute drive-thrus to stave off the hunger on the way to work.

Bake-Ahead Morning Egg Cups Start to finish: 25 minutes Servings: 12

1 link turkey Italian sausage, about 3 ounces, crumbled 1/2 red pepper, chopped 2 tablespoons chopped onion 1 tablespoons flour (all purpose or rice flour both work) 1 ½ cups baby spinach, washed 2 eggs 3/4 cup egg whites (about 7 egg whites) 1/4 cup lowfat milk 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a sauté pan, cook the sausage over medium high heat until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Add the pepper and chopped onion and cook until vegetables begin to soften, about 3 minutes.

Sprinkle with the flour and stir in.

Chop the spinach and stir into the pan, and cook another minute for spinach to wilt.

Remove from heat and allow to cool a few minutes. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites and milk until pale yellow and smooth. Stir in the sausage mixture and cheese.

Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray. Spoon the mixture into the tin. Bake until eggs are firm but not dry, about 15 minutes.

Let cool in the muffin tins for 10 minutes before removing and allowing to cool on a baking rack.

Eat right away, or freeze in a resealable freezer bag. Label well. To microwave for breakfast: Wrap in a paper towel and heat on 70 percent heat until hot, about 90 seconds, depending on microwave strength.

Smoked paprika (optional) and additional lime wedges to garnish

The Associated Press

There is nothing better than an ear of simply steamed or grilled fresh corn.

Except for this Mexican Grilled Corn.

A bold statement? Well, I’m not planning to give up on plain old corn on the cob any time soon. But I am planning, for the remaining corn months of the year (that’s a real thing, you know, the corn months), to alternate unadorned cooked ears of corn with these embellished ears from day to day, week to week, until the air gets nippy and the leaves turn orange and drop from the trees.

And then I will just think about fresh corn for the next 10 months.

But first, Mexican Grilled Corn, known as elotes: In Mexico, you can buy this from street vendors much as you can get a hot dog or soft pretzel here in New York. The ears of corn are grilled, slathered with a spicy, creamy, cheese mayonnaise mixture, and sprinkled with a bit more cheese.

If you can find Mexican crema, use that instead of the sour cream listed below. If you can’t find cotija (a dry, crumbly, Mexican cow’s milk cheese),

Mexican Grilled Corn AP photo

use a combination of feta and Parmesan. If you can’t find pure ancho chili powder, it’s OK to use a chili powder blend. And if you don’t have smoked paprika, skip it, or give the corn a final sprinkle of chili powder or regular paprika.

Be resourceful; you don’t want to miss out on this summer joy.

Add minced fresh cilantro to the mix if cilantro is your thing. Notice there is no salt or pepper; the cheese and chili powder provide enough saltiness and heat.

Mexican Grilled Corn Servings: 4-8

3 tablespoons mayonnaise 3 tablespoons sour cream or Mexican crema 1/4 cup cotija cheese, divided 1 teaspoon finely minced garlic 1 teaspoon ancho or chipotle chili powder 8 ears shucked corn 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter 1 lime, halved

Preheat the grill to medium high.

In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise; sour cream; 3 tablespoons of the cheese; garlic and chili powder. Transfer the mixture to a plate, and spread it out a bit.

Brush the corn with the melted butter.

Grill the corn for 8 minutes, until it is nicely browned in spots. Roll the corn in the mayo mixture, and place on a serving platter. Squeeze the lime over the corn, sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon of cheese, then sprinkle with smoked paprika if desired. Add the lime wedges, and serve immediately.

Really?

Really?

Did you know that of cancers affecting both men and women, colorectal cancer is the second leading cancer killer? But this is one cancer you can prevent.

Screening tests help find polyps so they can be removed before they turn into cancer.

So, if you’re 50 or older, get screened for colorectal cancer.

Screening really does save lives!

MAINTENANCE TECHNICIAN

Ex-Tech Plastics, Inc. is currently seeking career minded

Electrical / Mechanical Maintenance Technicians

Bruno Mars, a singer, songwriter and producer, said, “I don’t like two stories.” What was he talking about?

A word with ambiguous meaning stays ambiguous until more information is given. I assumed he was discussing someone who had been painted into a corner changing his story, but no. He continued, “I like one story. I never grew up with stairs.

I like to stick to what I know.”

Well, this is the second story of yesterday’s deal. South is in seven spades. What should he do after West leads a trump?

North used a transfer, showed his second suit, learned that partner had three- or four-card spade support, used two doses of Blackwood, and leapt into the grand slam.

South wins the trump lead, draws two more rounds of spades, and plays off dummy’s two top diamonds to learn about the 4-1 split. How should he continue?

It looks like he needs the heart finesse to work, but there is another possibility. Declarer should cash his club winners, discarding a heart and a diamond from the dummy, play a heart to the ace, and take the last two trumps, pitching his remaining diamonds.

Everyone is down to two cards.

Dummy has a heart and a diamond, and South the heart king-jack. East must keep a high diamond, so can retain only one heart. Then, when declarer leads dummy’s heart, if East plays the queen, South claims. If East plays low, South puts up his king and hopes to drop West’s queen. It is called a show-up squeeze.

Primary duties include providing safe and timely mechanical and electrical support, preventative maintenance, installation, service, repair, troubleshooting & resolution of multiple operating machines within a manufacturing industrial environment. The ideal candidate will have 3-5 years mechanical & electrical experience in manufacturing facility, a familiarity with hydraulics and pneumatics and have basic troubleshooting experience with proven ability of machine repair.

Emphasis on strong electrical experience.

Job Knowledge to include: An operational knowledge of industrial machinery which includes; motors, pumps, drives, relays, 3 phase power, communication devices, industrial / electronic controls & power transmission systems Strong PLC trouble shooting and problem solving ability with practical, mechanical & electrical aptitude.

Must be able to read and interpret both electrical and mechanical drawings.

Install, maintain & repair electrical apparatus, such as transformers and wiring, and electrical components of machinery and equipment.

Must be able to work in a fast paced environment.

Ability to work independently in a mature and professional manner.

Plastics background is a plus, but not required.

Ability to work 2nd or 3rd shift. Some overtime required.

Must be able to complete a Maintenance Skills Assessment Test with a passing percentage grade after your interview. This is a test of knowledge relating to skilled maintenance and will determine offer for starting wage of $18 to $25 per hour.

We offer competitive wages/benefits, including Medical, Dental, Vision, Life insurance, matching 401(k) and more!
