Good morning, McHenry County ...

Confessions from a White Sox fan Amid the glorious celebration of the 2016 Chicago Cubs season, there are those among us skulking in the shadows, not sure how to handle the explosion of glee that could overtake Chicago and the surrounding area.

They are mostly White Sox fans, some Cardinals fans, and the range of reactions will be as wide as Lake Michigan.

Perhaps it’s a midlife softening of many firmly held convictions, but over the past several years my youthful hatred for all things Cubs has dissipated to the point that as of last season I began to root for my neighbors from the North Side.

Despite the traitorous label we’re sure to be branded with, many White Sox fans have come around to a point that they hope the Cubs finish with a World Series championship. Others have pledged their allegiance to a goat. Telling any rabid fan how to react is futile, and I wouldn’t dream of it.

Don’t get me wrong. You won’t see me wearing Cubbie blue or crying in some YouTube video. I’ll be smiling and waving at the bandwagon as it rolls by, thinking of my many friends and family who get to experience the elation I once felt.

My two sisters, who did not inherit our late fa-

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK Kevin Lyons ther’s White Sox love, will be together at Game 3 at Wrigley Field, and I’ll be thrilled for them and hoping they get to fly the W. I’ll be thinking of my late maternal grandfather, who always had the Cubs broadcast on TV or the radio, and of my high school classmate, John Mallee, a terrific guy who was given his dream job as the Cubs hitting coach two years ago.

Even more than the White Sox, I love baseball. And there’s very little about this Cubs team that isn’t lovable, although they are lovable losers no more.

So at the risk of having my legacy brick pried from the hallowed ground at 35th and Shields, I say with sincerity, Eamus Catuli!

CHICAGO – Cigarettes contribute to more than 1 in 4 cancer deaths in the U.S. The rate is highest among men in Southern states, where smoking is more common and the rules against it are not as strict.

The American Cancer Society study found the highest rate among men in Arkansas, where 40 percent of cancer deaths were linked to cigarette smoking. Kentucky had the highest rate among women – 29 percent.

The lowest rates were in Utah, where 22 percent of cancer deaths in men and 11 percent in women were linked.

A

nyone who’s been paying even a little bit of attention to the Cubs on their journey to the 2016 World Series knows that they have the longest championship drought in sports. The Cubs haven’t won the World Series since 1908, and they haven’t

even been there since 1945.

But that was then and this is now, and these Cubs enter the Fall Classic as the favorites over an upstart but banged-up Cleveland Indians team that won both the ALDS and ALCS as underdogs. – Shaw Media

Accomplishments to date

More coverage

The Cubs pretty much sprinted away from the competition from the start, finishing the regular season with the best record in baseball at 103-58.

They won the NL Central by an astounding 17½ games over the second-place St. Louis Cardinals before finishing off the San Francisco Giants, three games to one, in the NL Divisional Series, and the L.A. Dodgers, four games to two, in the NL Championship Series.

The Indians won the AL Central by eight games over the Detroit Tigers, finishing at 94-67. They swept the Boston Red Sox in the ALDS and made quick work of the Toronto Blue Jays in the ALCS, four games to one.

Home-field advantage

Despite the Cubs’ superior record, the Indians have home-field advantage in the World Series because of Major League Baseball’s rule awarding it to the team representing the league that wins the midseason All-Star Game. The AL won, 4-2.

Coincidentally, Indians ace Corey Kluber got the win in the All-Star Game.

essary, is scheduled for 7:15 p.m. Sunday at Wrigley. Games 6 and 7, if necessary, return to Cleveland with scheduled start times at 7:08 p.m. next Tuesday and Wednesday (Nov. 1 and 2).

Are tickets still available?

Needless to say, all of the games are sold out. And getting tickets on the secondary market is going to cost, well, a small fortune. According to CNN Money, the average ticket price for any of the four games in Cleveland is $3,900. That’s a bargain compared with Chicago, where the average ticket price is closer to $7,200.

Cubs players to watch

The Cubs are so loaded with talent, we don’t have the space to name all of the key contributers. We’ll start with last year’s NL Rookie of the Year, Kris Bryant, who is the favorite to win the NL MVP this year. Bryant batted .292 during the regular When/where to watch season and added 39 home runs and 102 This one is pretty simple. All of the RBIs.

TH E STA RTING PITCHE RS

JON LESTER Chicago Cubs pitcher Jon Lester will bring a 2.50 career postseason ERA into Game 1 of the World Series. The former American Leaguer is 7-1 with a 3.03 ERA in 15 career starts against Cleveland.

Who are these Indians?

If you were solely focused on the Cubs’ run to the World Series and didn’t watch any of the American League playoffs, you probably don’t know much about Cleveland’s ballclub. The Indians’ starting rotation was considered its strength heading into the season. It largely was, until Nos. 2 and 3 starters Danny Salazar and Carlos Carrasco went down with late-season injuries and were left off playoff rosters.

Salazar is likely to return for the World Series, although it’s uncertain how much he’ll be able to contribute. No. 1 starter Corey Kluber was the AL’s 2014 Cy Young winner and has been dominant in the postseason.

As for the lineup, keep an eye on young shortstop Francisco Lindor. He finished second in last year’s AL Rookie of the Year voting and has drawn comparisons to a young Derek Jeter. One more thing you need to know about these Indians: Their bullpen has been lights out in the playoffs.

Andrew Miller won the ALCS MVP after striking out 14 of the 26 batters he faced.

COREY KLUBER Cleveland Indians pitcher Corey Kluber was an 18-game winner during the regular season. The right-hander is 2-1 with a 0.98 ERA in his first postseason.

And closer Cody Allen has given up zero runs and earned five saves in 7⅔ innings of work this postseason. The Cubs won’t want to be trailing too many games from the fifth inning on.

What’s up with the Indians’ mascot?

There no doubt will be protesters during the World Series calling for Cleveland to retire Chief Wahoo, the smiling, redfaced Indians mascot considered by many to be a racist caricature.

While Cleveland has been de-emphasizing Wahoo on uniforms and merchandise in recent years, its continued use is offensive to many Native Americans and others. The controversy also includes the “Indians” name. A group filed a lawsuit to try to prevent the Indians from using their team name or Chief Wahoo logo during the ALCS in Toronto but was unsuccessful.

FEARLESS PREDICTION

We asked Hub Arkush, editor of Pro Football Weekly and a die-hard Cubs fan, to make a series prediction for us.

“OK, people, it’s taken me almost 48 hours, but I finally believe it ... our Cubs are in the World Series. Now let’s take out all the emotion and look at

the facts. The Indians are a really good team and a great story. The Cubs are a great team and the story, of course, is ... the Cubs have a clear edge in starting pitching, defense and depth in the lineup. And even in the bullpen, where the Indians are special, the Cubs are right there with them. It’s the Cubs in six in a World Series for the ages.”

separated by a 22-foot landscaped median, also include a 10-foot bike path from Lake Shore Drive to just past McHenry County College.

Drivers who have taken Route 14 during the past two construction seasons have had to deal with two construction zones because the project was separated into two simultaneous contracts, with the Lucas Road intersection by the college acting as a boundary.

The road project, and others statewide, were briefly jeopardized this summer when the prolonged state budget battle prompted IDOT to cease all work on its projects effective July 1.

But a last-minute vote June 30 to pass a six-month stopgap budget prevented any stoppage.

Route 14 runs almost 1,400 miles from Chicago across four states to the east entrance to Yellowstone National Park.

NORTHWEST HERALD WOODSTOCK – Two were injured Sunday in a motorcycle crash in unincorporated Woodstock.

Terrance M. Gospodarek, 56, of Elgin, later was charged with driving under the influence. His 47-year-old female passenger is in critical condition, according to a news release from the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office.

Around 2:15 p.m. Sunday, the Woodstock Fire Protection District and the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office responded to a call about the crash, which occurred in the 16600 block of Garden Valley Road in unincorporated Seneca Township, according to the release.

The 2013 Harley-Davidson motorcycle was traveling east on Garden Valley Road and went off the road into a ditch when it went into a curve.

Both the driver and passenger were ejected. Gospodarek was taken by Flight for Life to Saint Anthony Medical Center in Rockford, and the passenger was flown to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville.

Neither was wearing a helmet. Gospodarek is in stable condition. Additional charges are pending, and the crash investigation is ongoing, according to the sheriff’s office.

Department to hold talk to answer questions, give safety tips

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – An Algonquin home was left uninhabitable after a fire Saturday morning, a fire official said.

Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Fire Protection District Chief Peter Van Dorpe said crews were called about 6:50 a.m. to the 500 block of Flora Drive.

Because the department’s shift change occurs between about 6:30 and 7 a.m., more firefighters were at the station and able to respond quickly, Van Dorpe said.

“It’s always the first couple minutes that make the big difference,” Van Dorpe said.

The homeowners exited their house after being alerted by smoke alarms, Van Dorpe said, and helped slow the growth of the fire by closing the door when they left.

Firefighters extinguished the fire in

about five minutes, he said, and no one was injured.

The fire was accidental and caused by an outdoor fire from the previous afternoon that was not completely extinguished, according to a preliminary investigation, Van Dorpe said.

There was moderate heat and smoke damage to the back of the house, Van Dorpe said.

Algonquin police, the Cary Fire Protection District, the Crystal Lake Fire Rescue Department and the Carpentersville Fire Department also responded, Van Dorpe said.

Prairie Ridge teacher put on leave after showing pro-Hillary Clinton video

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – A Prairie Ridge High School teacher has been put on paid administrative leave after showing a politically charged video and endorsing Hillary Clinton in his class.

William Walker has been working with the district since 1993 and has been at Prairie Ridge since it opened in 1997. He was outside the school Monday with tape over his mouth and a sign that read “Enjoy the Silence” in protest of his recent removal from the classroom. He said that the administration’s actions resulted from his showing of a 23-minute YouTube video, “Sam Harris Dismantles Donald Trump,” in class.

“I feel it’s important as a teacher to get students to look at all the information,” he said. “And I don’t think we have enough information on Donald Trump. I was trying to say, ‘Look at it from this perspective.’ ” He said he also told his students

Landscape.”

Walker said that he himself recently wrote a book and runs a blog, williamrevelation.com, which discusses his recent “coming back to God.” He said he had previously been warned by administrators to not bring religious talk to the classroom if it went beyond the curriculum.

Prairie Ridge officials were not

immediately available for comment Monday afternoon. Walker makes more than $112,000 a year, plus $19,000 in benefits, according to district documents.

“It’s worth the risk if I am going to do something positive in the world,” he said. “You have to be willing to sacrifice and give everything to bring a positive message.”

Centegra Healthy Living Institute offers multidimensional approach to weight loss SPONSORED BY

By Diane Krieger Spivak There are certain lifestyle factors that play a role in a person’s weight gain. Sleep habits, stress levels, nutritional intake and the amount of daily exercise all contribute.

“Generally, patients who want to lose weight look at it as just, ‘If I exercise more and eat less, then I will accomplish my weight-loss goal,’ said Tanya Tanzillo, DNP medical weight loss manager with Centegra Healthy Living Institute, in Crystal Lake. “That is a huge oversimplification of a very complex disease process, which is obesity.”

Tanzillo explained that looking at weight loss in a one-dimensional approach limits how obesity is treated.

“You can’t only say, ‘I’m gonna exercise more and this will work,’ or ‘I’m gonna eat better and this will work,’” Tanzillo said.

“We all know that at least at a minimum, it’s a combination of those two things, so addressing it in a one-dimensional approach typically will not be successful for lifetime achievement.”

The Centegra Healthy Living Institute team consists of medical supervision, as well as nursing experts and wellness coaches, personal training and dietary support.

“All those professionals bring their field of expertise and help us to individualize a plan each time for each patient that comes into the program,” Tanzillo said. “They need to be treated as an individual and that is what our team provides in regards to focusing on their nutrition, their exercise, their stress and their sleep. It is that expertise that will help us develop an individualized care plan for each patient, which will guarantee success.”

New mobile app gives local teens access to mental health services

Stacy Stusowski, PC

“Students cannot learn unless they first have their basic needs met.”

Kathy Hinz

Crystal Lake Elementary School District 47 superintendent About 5,000 text messages were received from students through Text A Tip during the 2015-16 school year.

The McHenry County Crisis Center responds to the incoming texts after taking over the duties from the Child and Adolescent Family Recovery Center in Hoffman Estates.

“Students cannot learn unless they first have their basic needs met,” District 47 Superintendent Kathy Hinz said in a news release. “MCHELP’ connects students with resources to get those needs met, and District 47 schools are happy to promote and support the program and mobile app launch.”

The free mobile app can be downloaded in the iOS App Store and the Google Play Store.

• Tuesday, October 25, 2016

CRYSTAL LAKE – McHenry County teens now have access to mental health resources at their fingertips.

The mobile app, “MCHELP,” originally was launched as “Text a Tip” – an anonymous texting service that provides McHenry County youth 24-7 confidential access to trained, licensed mental health counselors. Crystal Lake Elementary School District 47 and the McHenry County Community Foundation partnered in fall 2015 to launch the service and fund it for three years.

The app was rebranded after a focus group last spring. The service still will be available in its original form, where students can type in the code “MCHELP” and send it along with their concern to a designated six-digit number.

Robin Doeden, executive director of the McHenry County Community Foundation, said the program has a new, more attractive look and a new name that causes less confusion about its purpose.

Manny’s Handcrafted Gelato and Cafe to open

Eatery set to open in mid-November off Huntley square

“I’d like to see a place where a lot of people could just come and have a good time. Eat something that we enjoy eating in an area that promotes people having a good time.”

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – A new family business is expecting to open mid-November right off the Huntley square.

Manny’s Handcrafted Gelato and Cafe, 11808 Main St., will serve gelato made in the store and feature a coffee bar, homemade panini sandwiches and milkshakes.

Owner Manny Stier and his mother, Rosie Scalise, both of Crystal Lake, were working in the estimated 1,300-squarefoot space Monday afternoon. When the store is complete, they hope to have seating for about 20 people and create an intimate atmosphere.

“I’d like to see a place where a lot of people could just come and have a good time,” Stier said. “Eat something that we enjoy eating in an area that promotes people having a good time – I just hope we can add to that.”

Scalise previously ran La Cucina

Manny Stier (left) and his mother, Rosie Scalise, co-owners of Manny’s Gelato and Cafe, work on construction of the new gelato shop Monday in Huntley. The shop is expected to open in mid-November and will feature homemade gelato, coffee and breakfast.

Caffè in Cary, and she said much of her inspiration comes from her father, who was born in Italy.

At the new store, Stier said the focus will be just as much on the gelato as on the coffee.

“Gelato is different, and it’s not

something you have every day,” Scalise said. “So we’re hoping that the community learns to realize what gelato is, first of all ... and that they can appreciate it as much as we appreciate it.”

Stier took a class on making gelato at North Carolina-based Carpigiani, which

specializes in producing ice cream making machines. Gelato has less air than ice cream, which gives it a smoother and more intense taste, he said.

Having smaller, handmade batches also leaves more room for customizing the gelato, Stier said. Manny’s will offer more traditional flavors as well as some unique ones, such as maple gelato with candy bacon on top.

When it opens, the store will have about five employees, all who are family members, Stier said.

“Manny is the sole owner, but the whole family has joined together and put everything they have into it,” Scalise said.

MARENGO – City officials met to discuss a potential design for the future Route 23 and Interstate 90 interchange.

Four options were presented to the Marengo City Council on Monday, with the fourth option a preferred recommendation from the Illinois Department of Transportation, McHenry County and the Illinois Tollway Authority. The $32 million project is expected to trigger an economic windfall for McHenry County and the city of Marengo.

The feasibility study will be finalized at the end of November after a design recommendation, senior project manager Jeff Pisha said.

The preferred option is a partial clover design with roundabout intersections, which will cause the least amount of traffic delays and will be safer, Pisha said.

“All of them work, but this one really stood out with a few benefits,” he said. “First of all, it satisfies the 2040 traffic volumes.”

The other choices included both

roundabout and stop-controlled intersections, which can slow down traffic.

As traffic flow increases year after year, new infrastructure such as traffic signals will have to be installed. The preferred choice will limit future expenses and headaches, Pisha said.

“With an alternative four, and building all the roundabouts, that satisfies today’s conditions up to 2040,” he said. “This has the least amount of delay when you look at 2040 traffic volumes.”

First Ward Alderman Nicole DeBoer voiced concern that drivers aren’t familiar with roundabouts, which could cause confusion.

“The roundabout concept isn’t very big around here,” she said. “A lot of people are pretty confused about that, and I’m wondering if there will be initial confusion.”

But more Midwest states such as Wisconsin and Michigan are implementing modernized roundabouts that are less like the traffic circles one may encounter in some towns, officials said.

The council will vote on the matter at its Nov. 14 meeting. Plans can be seen on the city’s website in Monday’s meeting packet.

Illinois House District 66

The Northwest Herald sent candidates in contested races questionnaires seeking their views on a variety of issues. Below are responses to four questions from Illinois House District 66 candidates. Visit NWHerald.com/election-central to read all responses in this race and other contested races on McHenry County ballots. – Dan McCaleb

NANCY ZETTLER Democrat

ALLEN SKILLICORN Republican Why are you the best candidate to represent your district in the Illinois House?

I’m going to Springfield to reform state government, reduce taxes, and improve the business climate so middle-income workers can find and keep jobs. As village trustee I work with people from all backgrounds and political ideologies to help improve our town. Initially my ‘Freeze The Levy’ property tax freeze resolution failed 1 to 6. Three months later, we passed our frozen levy unanimously and it’s been frozen since. I am not interested in playing that partisan blame game that you see in Springfield. I’m interested in serving those in need and protecting working-class families. We can move Springfield forward in two ways: First, by bringing bipartisan balance back to the Legislature. I’m running for office because after decades of one-party rule, the families in our community are suffering and aren’t being served by the state government they finance. Second, Springfield needs new, independent leadership that is focused on serving our interests, not protecting their own power. The current leaders were put in place to work for us, but what we find is that they work for themselves. I’m going to Springfield to work with reform-minded Democrats and Republicans to serve our community and protect our families.

I am the best candidate to represent the 66th District because I will go to Springfield beholden only to the citizens of House District 66. My entire war chest to date has contained less than $25,000.00.

This is a grassroots campaign, being funded by working men and women of this district. I am independent of my party leadership – I am not receiving financial support from the Democratic Party and I will be able to be an independent in Springfield. I have a bipartisan record of working on issues that directly affect District 66 taxpayers. I have successfully fought both Governor Quinn and Speaker Madigan to get the taxpayers of the 66th District a seat at the table to stop the shifting of our property tax dollars from the things that we voted to spend them on like schools, fire and police to large, profitable corporations who do not need the money.

Do you support a tax hike or hikes to balance Illinois’ budget? Explain.

In 2011, Pat Quinn and Mike Madigan hiked taxes by $31 billion. Today our pensions are dangerously unfunded and we owe our vendors and health care providers billions. What did the Legislature do with that $31 billion? Taxes are already too high, and it is more than that. The taxes we pay don’t go to the things the politicians promise us they will. Illinois is ranked 47th out of the 50 states in providing services to the developmentally disabled, despite record taxes. We need new, independent leadership that will respect taxpayers and be fair to our families by ensuring that our tax dollars go to serve those most in need, not new taxes. Illinois needs to prioritize its spending and cut unnecessary and wasteful spending. Then, in order to return the state to solvency long-term, we have to make structural reforms to our failing systems. Speaker Michael Madigan’s proven for decades that sending more money to Springfield doesn’t solve anything. I will oppose all new taxes until we make significant reforms to the way state government works, and we ensure that the tax dollars our families are paying actually go to provide the services we value.

First, I am opposed to any tax that will increase taxes on the lower and middle classes. Period.

Second, I am 100 percent committed to putting an end to corporate welfare. I have actively and publicly fought this fight, and will continue to do so. When corporations wanted millions of our district’s tax dollars, I helped lead a campaign to fight against Springfield, and I won. I stood up against Mike Madigan, and for the voters in School District 300. I have a strong record on this, and will continue to fight against corporate welfare in Springfield.

How can the state cut spending to help reduce the deficit?

Crafting our state budget should be a deliberative process where legislators have an opportunity to review spending, line-by-line, using a zero-based budgeting approach. Instead Speaker Michael Madigan traditionally crams these budget bills through the House before anyone can read them.

I believe Illinois needs to prioritize its spending and cut unnecessary and wasteful spending. $35 million grant that went to a school in Speaker Madigan’s district outside normal grant lines; $500,000 in general revenue funds went to Gateway Motorsports Park; $10 million in capital construction money went to a theater in Senate President Cullerton’s district; $700,000 went to putting bronze doors on the Capitol building. Let the record reflect, I say we should sell those doors for scrap metal! As one of the single largest expenditures, I would investigate overhauling Medicaid. Not long ago a private company found 40 percent of Medicaid recipients ineligible.

These are people living out-of-state or no longer eligible for other reasons. Last year the Sun-Times reported $12 million in benefits going to dead people. I’m not making this stuff up. Conservative estimates, show we could save $1.5 billion to $1.9 billion a year here alone.

I would like to see the state’s obsession with handing our tax dollars over to large corporations end. I would like to see a moratorium placed on handing out tax breaks, tax subsidies, and “incentives” to large, profitable businesses and corporations in the district and across the state. Instead we need to see first, exactly how much all of it is costing us each year and second, whether or not any of it is actually doing what our state and local leaders say it is. There are many of these “corporate welfare” programs in place and it is not unreasonable to say that such practices are costing the taxpayers of Illinois at least hundreds of millions of dollars.

Do you support any part of Gov. Bruce Rauner’s Turnaround agenda? Explain.

Governor Bruce Rauner has taken on the status quo and is trying to save the failing State of Illinois.

Although I’m not wealthy, made modest contributions to Rauner’s 2014 campaign, put up yard signs, and much more. With my efforts East Dundee was the first municipality in the state to support his Turnaround Agenda. Reform isn’t easy. But, since he took office, I’ve watched the governor opt for difficult conversations over slick soundbites; work for real, but politically unpopular, reforms to our enormous problems instead of going for the quick fixes or the easy answers. In the past year, we’ve taken on the biggest problems our state faces – including powerful career politicians and entrenched special interests – and began working to implement a long-term revolution for Illinois. This is what it means be a leader. It’s the difference between talking a big game and rolling up your sleeves to do the work nobody else wants to do. I am ready and willing to do that work. And, that’s why I am going to Springfield.

The vast majority of Gov. Rauner’s “Turnaround agenda” relies on attacking unions and working people. And I am simply not willing to support a race to the bottom where we push to lower wages for the middle class. I do, however, support certain aspects of the governor’s policy goals. I support redistricting reform, and I am open to supporting term limits, especially on legislative leaders. I support workers compensation reform, though I would not agree with Gov. Rauner’s specific proposals to reform the system. And I strongly support addressing the obscenely high property taxes we have in the state and in this district.

Retirement only a dream for some low-income workers

By MARIA INES ZAMUDIO The Associated Press

CHICAGO – It was a striking image.

A photo of an 89-year-old man hunched over, struggling to push his cart with frozen treats.

Fidencio Sanchez works long hours every day selling the treats because he couldn’t afford to retire. The photo and his story went viral and thousands of people donated more than $384,000 for his retirement.

His story is a window into a dark reality: Many low-wage workers say they can’t afford to retire.

With no money saved for retirement, home care worker Gwen Strowbridge, 71, of Deerfield, Florida, plans to stay on the job until she can’t physically work anymore.

“I can’t see it in the future. I’ll stop working if my health won’t allow me to keep working,” Strowbridge said. Now 71, she works six days per week caring for a 100-year-old woman in Florida.

Studies have found that about one-third of low-wage workers like Strawbridge say they’ll never be able to afford retirement. The problem is particularly acute among minority women.

Rain, temperatures mean good Illinois pumpkin crop

URBANA – University of Illinois pumpkin crop experts said this year’s harvest looks to be much better than last year, when yield losses were predicted.

Illinois plant pathologist Mohammad Babadoost said the pumpkin crop in Illinois had enough rain but not too much, and temperatures were warm and dry, “which pumpkins love.” Illinois is the country’s top pumpkin-producing state. About 90 percent of the pumpkins grown in the U.S. come from within a 90-mile radius of Peoria.

Unlike last year, Babadoost said, there will be “no shortage of pumpkin pie at the Thanksgiving table” this holiday season.

The one hiccup this year was in mid-August, when the fast-spreading fungus downy mildew appeared in some fields.

A grateful Fidencio Sanchez pushes his paletas cart one last time Sept. 21 before a group of reporters after accepting a check for $384,290 during a news conference outside the ice cream shop, Paleteria y Neveria Poncho, where he rented the cart in Chicago’s Little Village.

Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that one-quarter of workers 50 and older say they won’t retire. Among low-wage workers, earning less than $50,000 a year, it was 33 percent.

Strowbridge’s first job, in the 1960s,

paid 98 cents an hour, setting her out on a path of low-wage jobs that stretched across five decades. She raised three sons with her husband, Roy, a dock attendant who unloaded cargo from boats. The couple was forced to use the little money they had saved for retire-

But experts said it was confined to a small area in Tazewell County.

Naval Station Great Lakes spokesman John Sheppard said its sailors are excited to help with the task.

“It’s a pretty simple, little mission. It’s different,” Sheppard said. “Happy to do it.”

Vargas said the trucks are expected to make 24 trips between now and February.

Obama’s presidential library is expected to open in 2021 in the Jackson Park neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side.

Obama’s library materials to travel from D.C. to Illinois

HOFFMAN ESTATES – Some of the White House materials bound for President Barack Obama’s presidential library in Chicago will start making their way from Washington, D.C., to Illinois this week.

Beginning Wednesday, commercial trucks will carry documents, artifacts and gifts accumulated over Obama’s tenure to a temporary storage facility in Hoffman Estates, the Chicago Tribune reported.

Air Force Lt. Col. Vianesa Vargas, the Air Force logistician overseeing the move, said over two dozen troops in Washington, D.C., will take materials now stored at the National Archives and Records Administration and load them onto semitrailers for the 700-mile trip.

“We don’t get to look in any of the boxes,” Vargas said. “We move the boxes. We move the crates. We fulfill the mission.”

Vargas said about 40 sailors from Naval Station Great Lakes will unload the material in Hoffman Estates.

U of Illinois-Springfield has food pantry for students

SPRINGFIELD – A graduate student at the University of Illinois’ Springfield campus has started a food pantry for students.

Malayzja Anderson is helping to stock donated, nonperishable food items for the new UIS Cares initiative. She told The (Springfield) State Journal-Register that student meal plans start to deplete around this time of the semester so students may not eat as much. She said UIS Cares lets them “come in and just grab something to supplement them.”

The pantry will be open Nov. 17 and Dec. 1. Organizers said students also can email them to set up a time to pick up food.

ment on family medical issues.

Strowbridge stopped working briefly after she turned 63 to care for her husband, who had quadruple bypass heart surgery. Their Social Security benefits weren’t enough to cover medical expenses, rent, utilities and food.

When he died, she went back to work.

Jacquelyn B. James, co-director of Boston College’s Center on Aging and Work, said it is common for low-wage workers to stay on the job, with no plans for retirement.

“It is really easy for them to say, ‘I’m going to work forever,’ but things happen,” James said. Among those things: health issues.

A 2016 report by the nonpartisan research nonprofit National Institute on Retirement Security shows that many black, Latina and Asian women have to work past retirement age to be able to afford basic expenses. Women were 80 percent more likely than men to be impoverished.

The research showed that for men between 70 and 74, about 19 percent of their income comes from wages. For women, it’s about 15 percent.

“You couldn’t put nothing in the bank because I was always underpaid,” Strowbridge said. “I just didn’t make enough to save.”

Those who want to donate can find drop-off locations around the UIS campus.

Needed items include canned vegetables, cereal, snacks and sauces.

Driver surrenders after fleeing crash that killed 3

MILWAUKEE – Milwaukee police said a motorist who fled after causing a car crash that killed three women from Chicago and injured their Uber driver has surrendered to authorities.

Investigators said the 23-year-old man driving a Lexus SUV ran a stoplight in downtown Milwaukee early Sunday and slammed into a car whose 41-year-old driver was giving the women an Uber ride.

The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the victims as 32-year-old Amy Taylor, 30-year-old Ashley Sawatzke and 35-year-old Lindsey Cohen. The Uber driver was taken to a hospital with serious injuries.

Police said a male passenger was in the SUV, but they provided no information about him.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks during a meeting with local farmers Monday at Bedners Farm Fresh Market in Boynton Beach, Fla.

Trump rejects ‘phony’ media polls, insists ‘we are winning

By STEVE PEOPLES and JONATHAN LEMIRE The Associated Press

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. – A defiant Donald Trump blamed his campaign struggles on “phony polls” from the “disgusting” media on Monday, fighting to energize his most loyal supporters as his path to the presidency shrinks.

With just 14 days until the election, the Republican nominee campaigned in battleground Florida as his team conceded publicly as well as privately that crucial Pennsylvania may be slipping away to Democrat Hillary Clinton. That would leave him only a razor-thin pathway to the 270 electoral votes needed to win the White House on Nov. 8.

Despite continued difficulties with women and minorities, Trump refuses to soften his message in the campaign’s final days to broaden his coalition. Yet he offered an optimistic front in the midst of a three-day tour through Florida as thousands began voting there in person.

“I believe we’re actually winning,” Trump declared during a round-table discussion with farmers gathered next to a local pumpkin patch.

A day after suggesting the First Amendment to the Constitution may give journalists too much freedom, he insisted that the media are promoting biased polls to discourage his supporters from voting.

“The media isn’t just against me. They’re against all of you,” Trump told cheering supporters later in St. Augustine. “They’re against what we represent.”

In more bad news for Trump, a new poll shows young voters turning to Clinton now that the race has settled down to two main candi-

dates. Clinton now leads among likely voters 18 to 30 years in age by 60 percent to 19 percent, according to a new GenForward survey.

Young black voters already were solidly in her corner, and now young whites are moving her way, according to the survey by the Black Youth Project at the University of Chicago with the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

With Trump on the defensive, Democrat Clinton worked to slam the door on his candidacy in swing state New Hampshire while eyeing a possible Democratic majority in the Senate.

The former secretary of state campaigned alongside New Hampshire Gov. Maggie Hassan, who is running for the Senate, and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who was merciless as she seized on recent revelations of Trump’s predatory sexual language and several allegations of sexual assault.

“He thinks that because he has a mouth full of Tic Tacs, he can force himself on any woman within groping distance,” Warren charged.

“I’ve got news for you Donald: Women have had it with guys like you.”

Trump has denied all of the recent allegations, and he addressed a new one Monday in an interview with WGIR radio in New Hampshire.

He called the accusations “total fiction” and lashed out at former adult film performer Jessica Drake, who said Saturday that he had grabbed and kissed her without permission and offered her money to visit his hotel room a decade ago.

“One said, ‘He grabbed me on the arm.’ And she’s a porn star,” Trump said. He added, “Oh, I’m sure she’s never been grabbed before.”

Veterans and Clinton teams up with Military Personnel

Massachusetts senator

By JULIE PACE and KEN THOMAS The Associated Press

MANCHESTER, N.H. – Joining forces in the presidential campaign’s final stretch, Hillary Clinton and Sen. Elizabeth Warren pounded Donald Trump on Monday for disrespecting women and denigrating U.S. troops assisting Iraqis in their push to retake the city of Mosul.

“He’s basically declaring defeat before the battle has even started,” Clinton said, referring to Trump’s tweet on Sunday calling the new fight against the Islamic State group “a total disaster.” Clinton said her Republican rival is “proving to the world what it means to have an unqualified commander in chief.”

Warren, riffing off Trump’s insult to Clinton in the final debate, warned the businessman that “nasty women are tough, nasty women are smart and nasty women vote.”

The back-to-back assault on Trump underscored what has drawn Clinton to Warren, with whom she has little previous relationship. The Massachusetts senator has needled Trump with gusto throughout the campaign, often provoking a prickly response from the Republican. She’s also become a fierce defender of Clinton, validating the former secretary of state’s progressive credentials with those skeptical of Clinton’s long ties to Wall Street.

But if Clinton wins, Warren is expected to turn from cheerleader into watchdog – a towering presence in the Senate trying to hold Clinton to campaign promises on issues such as student debt and Wall Street reform, while also guarding against nominees with deep ties to the

financial industry.

Perhaps seeking to reassure Warren that she’ll hold her ground in office, Clinton praised the Massachusetts senator’s work on curbing Wall Street excess and said she looked forward to “working with her to rewrite the rules of our economy.”

Warren laid down her own marker, making sure to brand Clinton’s policy blueprint as a “progressive agenda.”

Clinton and Warren made their joint appearance on a sun-splashed fall day in New Hampshire, a battleground state with one of the most competitive Senate races in the country. Underscoring Democrats’ increasing confidence in the presidential race just over two weeks from Election Day, both women devoted significant portions of their remarks to bolstering the party’s down-ballot candidates.

If Clinton wins the election and Democrats also carry the Senate, she would have more leeway in getting through nominees for top jobs. Liberals with ties to Warren and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders – who challenged Clinton for the Democratic nomination – have already started outlining specific people they’re hoping end up in senior posts at the White House and agencies.

That includes Labor Secretary Tom Perez, a top liberal pick to run the Justice Department, where he previously oversaw the civil rights division; Gary Gensler, the Clinton campaign’s chief financial officer who won praise as a tough regulator at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission; former senators Byron Dorgan and Ted Kaufman; and economists Joseph Stiglitz, Christina Romer and Heather Boushey.

QAYARA, Iraq – Bayda Muhammad Khalaf followed the government’s advice to stay in her home with her husband and seven children as Iraqi troops advanced near their remote village outside militant-held Mosul. But after the Islamic State fighters fled and Iraqi troops didn’t appear, their tiny supply of food quickly ran out, and the family had to flee to search for territory firmly under government control.

When the Mosul offensive began a week ago, departing IS fighters warned villagers to stay off the roads and surrounding fields, which the militants had mined. So Khalaf waited until she saw a passing shepherd, and then she and her family made the eight-hour walk out of no man’s land behind a herd of sheep.

“We were starving,” she said. They had watched the start of the offensive on TV and thought Iraqi forces were on the way, but the troops’ progress has been slow, and Mosul’s southern approach is littered with dozens of villages, some with no more than 20 homes.

Eventually, Khalaf couldn’t produce enough breast milk for her infant daughter. “I started giving her goat’s milk, but

Camps have been set up to accommodate 60,000 people, but about 200,000 are expected to be displaced in the first weeks of the offensive, according to the Norwegian Refugee Council.

Both the Iraqi government and Kurdish authorities are mired in an economic crisis brought on by low oil prices and say they do not have the resources to care for such a large number of displaced people. So they have urged everyone to stay put.

“We have a comprehensive plan for the evacuation of the civilians,” said Maj. Gen. Qassim al-Maliki, the head of the Iraqi army’s 9th Division. “The plan is to keep them in their houses until it becomes safer.”

That means huddling indoors, often with no electricity or running water, as explosions and gunfire echo outside.

Those living near the front lines are often out of reach of aid groups.

Those who somehow manage to cross the battle lines, like Khalaf’s family, face other challenges.

The Kurds have taken in hundreds of thousands of people, but Sunni Arabs, who make up most of Mosul’s population, are viewed with suspicion.

OUR VIEW

Now we want it all

Until about three days ago, some fans might have wondered whether it would be enough for their team just to play in a World Series.

Now that it’s finally a reality, we know the answer: No. It’s not enough. We want it all.

The Cubs win Saturday to clinch their first NL pennant since 1945 set off a wild celebration.

Strangers hugged and high-fived; chilFor the record dren called parents and grandparents; If the Cubs can make it to the people shed tears.

World Series, they might as Tonight, the Cubs well go ahead and win it, too. will open the World Series against the Indians at Progressive Field in Cleveland, and that’s all behind us.

It has been 108 years since the Cubs last won the World Series. Generations of fans have lived their entire lives and never seen it. Those are the people whom so many Cubs fans thought of Saturday, our parents and grandparents and aunts and uncles.

Over all of those decades of close calls and pratfalls, a mystique has developed around the Cubs, the notion that somehow there’s something noble in cheering for a team that never wins it all.

It’s nonsense. Losing is no fun. It’s not fun when it happens, and it’s not fun looking back on.

Do we love the players on the teams from 1969, 1984, 2003? Yes. But they regret not getting it done as much as anyone.

If the Cubs can take this best-of-seven series from the Indians, they can clear a slate that is smudged with decades’ worth of what-ifs and coulda-beens, of bad management decisions and untimely errors. “Cubbie occurrences,” former Cubs Manager Lou Piniella called them.

The 2016 Cubs have been the best team in baseball all season long. They won 103 games in the regular season, the most since 1910. When they’ve faced adversity, they haven’t panicked, even as some fans braced for a collapse that seemed inevitable. After they were shut out in back-toback games against the Los Angeles Dodgers and fell behind 2 games to 1 in the series, they rallied, winning three games in a row by comfortable margins.

Perhaps what our lifetime of experience conditioned us to believe was inevitable isn’t any more.

If the Cubs can make it to the World Series, they might as well go ahead and win it, too.

We’ve waited long enough. Now we want it all.

New ideas needed for retirement

For decades now, each successive generation of Americans has been less prepared for retirement than the one before, the result of a broken system that is leaving seniors with too little income in their golden years.

That’s why new ideas are needed for getting young workers to save even just a little each month, because while a slight majority of millennials say they are confident they’ll have adequate savings when it comes time to retire, the hard numbers say something very different. According to a GenForward survey released recently, more than 40 percent of Americans between the ages of 25 and 30 have no retirement savings whatsoever.

They are part of a generation whose earning power has been clipped by rising college costs, stagnant wages and the Great Recession, so saving has been a low priority. But they also are facing fewer options.

As pensions faded in popularity, along with the union strength that won benefits for workers, employees were left to rely on 401(k) plans, which move the risk from employer to employee and do not offer fixed payouts. But many workers are finding even those unavailable. From 1999 to 2011, the share of employees being offered an employer-based retirement account fell from 61 percent to 53 percent.

With that the case, millennials are looking at a stark future, and they don’t have to look far.

Forty percent of baby boomers have saved nothing for retirement, and only a quarter of Americans ages 55 to 64 will have enough savings. They’ll have to rely only on Social Security, with its declining value. Ultimately, 9 percent will face extreme poverty in retirement, and 24 percent will live in near-poverty.

That’s what happens when so many people don’t have the

easy option of having retirement savings automatically come out of their paycheck. And that’s why California’s plan is so intriguing.

California now is offering a state-run retirement program to nearly 7 million private-sector workers. Officials still are working out many of the details, but the plan will operate much like a 401(k), with little risk to the state, which won’t contribute and won’t have to cover losses.

Eventually, all companies with at least five employees will have to offer their own plan or enroll in the state plan, which automatically will enroll employees and start setting away 3 percent of pay, rising 1 percent annually until it reaches 8 percent, unless the employee opts out. There still are a lot of unknowns with such a plan, but done correctly, it could replace the pensions lost to history. State officials nationwide should keep an eye on it.

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.

VIEWS Rich Miller Barman will be forced to raise your property taxes to fuel more wasteful government spending for his political boss. You pay more, and Bartman will side with his boss.”

As we’ve discussed before, the Republicans truly believe they have found the magic elixir this year by constantly invoking the horribly unpopular Madigan’s name.

GOP Rep. Dwight Kay, for instance, was quoted in the Belleville News Democrat last week as saying: “The first thing we need to do to get the budget balanced is to see that Mike Madigan goes home.”

That’s a pretty tall order, but if it works electorally and the Republicans hold onto their incumbents like Kay and pick up some Democratic seats, they’ll undoubtedly say Madigan has become so toxic to his own members it’s time for him to go.

Some of the Republican ads I’ve seen this year mention Madigan’s name even when it’s not particularly relevant to the ads’ messaging.

Perhaps the inclusion gives the attack added weight because Madigan is so

unpopular. It’s also likely designed to keep the Republican “theme” going regardless of content. But I also have come to suspect it’s being done so they can claim they used Madigan in almost all of their negative ads and that’s why they prevailed over the Democrats.

And, hey, if it doesn’t work, well, just look at Gov. Rauner’s comments throughout the summer and fall for a preview of what they’ll say the day after the election.

The governor repeatedly has pointed to Madigan’s “undemocratic” legislative district map, which he says has “rigged” the election against the Republicans. You gotta figure he’ll use that as his excuse if Madigan comes out on top, as well as infinite references to Donald Trump’s expected miserable performance.

But, wait. Aren’t quite a few pundits saying Trump’s repeated refrain the election will be rigged is hurting him further by depressing his base of support? They could be right, but Gov. Rauner has added a twist.

“We’ve got a system that is rigged,” Rauner told WAND TV’s Doug Wolfe in late August.

But then he did something that Trump isn’t doing. He talked about a solution.

“We’ve got gerrymandered districts

that are shaped like spaghetti noodles in many cases designed to protect incumbents.” So, Rauner said, to fix this, Illinoisans need to support reforms, such as redistricting and term limits.

And whenever Rauner says this, he adds the best way to get those reforms is to elect more people who will work with him, mainly Republicans. And the worst thing to do is to vote for anyone associated with his arch enemy Madigan.

So, what Rauner is doing is quite clever. He uses Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric without all that “nasty” Trump baggage.

Of course, if Trump does unintentionally depress his own base, that would be really bad news for Rauner, who is counting on that base to turn out and vote his way – which is one reason why he won’t say anything that directly criticizes Trump.

What’s that old saying about the best laid plans?

Jack Franks, the Democrat, was able to avoid defeat for 18 years in a Republican district, which makes Rauner’s argument about redistricting reform look just a little silly. The point is, though, strange things happen in politics. Stay tuned.

IT’S YOUR WRITE GOP loses fiscal conservatism, family structure in Trump

To the Editor: Where were the GOP’s values last March when Trump started gaining? Why didn’t the leaders say this man does not reflect their values? He is divorced three times, marrying a younger trophy wife each time. For crying out loud, his wife is a model with nude pictures on the internet. Trump isn’t a fiscal conservative, has countless bankruptcies and can’t handle money.

The GOP has shown its true colors: Win the White House at any cost. They lost sight of whom they were, even closing down the government. Politics is a dignified and noble pursuit; the GOP has turned it into “obstruct the president at every turn” for eight years.

Your only criticism of Hillary Clinton is emails. She is noble and dignified.

She stood by her man during scandal, keeping the family together.

State not supporting schools

To the Editor: Mrs. Jensen’s letter about her taxes on a condo in Florida versus a home in Cary speaks precisely to my point. Her condo in Florida is worth twice as much as her home in Cary, but her taxes in Cary are twice that of her condo. The state of Florida supports public education and is in the top 10 in the nation with state aid to schools. Illinois, on the other hand, ranks 49th in the nation in state aid to education, even though the Illinois Constitution requires the state to pay the majority of educational expenses.

It’s simple math: If the state paid what the law requires, our property taxes would be reduced in excess of 30 percent.

Like I pointed out, consolidation may be, in some cases, good for students and taxpayers. But, our state legislators refuse to reduce our property taxes and refuse to follow the Illinois Constitution, and that is the paramount reason why our taxes are so high. And, Superintendent Leslie Schermerhorn should know this and

Democratic House candidate John Bartman was appointed to the ballot in July when Rep. Jack Franks (D-Marengo) dropped out of the race to run for McHenry County Board chairman.

Bartman is not getting help from the House Democrats, who appear to have all but conceded.

Franks’ district is solidly Republican. President Barack Obama lost it by 8 points four years ago. Franks has been able to win it because, well, he’s Jack Franks. He talks a good Republican line back home and takes some high-profile votes against his own party. Bartman is no Jack Franks.

Even so, the Republicans say they want to “drown” any possible chance Bartman may have, particularly in a year like this. So, they’ve launched a negative cable TV blitz, with similar ads on radio and in the mail. As of Oct. 21, Republican candidate Steven Reick had reported $187,000 in contributions since Oct. 1, which is about $65,000 more than he and the Republicans spent in this district during the entire third quarter.

“You can always judge a person by who their friends are,” the spot begins.

What’s next for AT&T megadeal?

Looking at disputes

By TALI ARBEL

The Associated Press NEW YORK – AT&T is following in the footsteps of its rival Comcast in snapping up its own entertainment conglomerate – in this case, Time Warner.

But what’s happened in the aftermath of Comcast’s 2011 purchase of NBCUniversal may cast a shadow over AT&T’s deal.

Like that earlier transaction, the $85.4 billion combination of AT&T and Time Warner would create a giant new company that not only produces movies, TV shows and sports and news programming, but also delivers them to viewers.

Time Warner owns popular channels such as HBO, CNN, TNT and TBS, plus Warner Bros. movies such as the Harry Potter and DC Comics superhero franchises, while AT&T has its mobile network and its DirecTV service.

AT&T said it is looking for ways to provide innovative new services, which means leveraging Time Warner’s offerings to attract customers, analysts say. But doing so might easily limit consumer choice should AT&T decide, for instance, to withhold certain shows from its rivals or to grant better access to AT&T customers.

Because AT&T is effectively buying one of its suppliers, not a rival, the deal doesn’t directly limit competition, and the company argues that regulators should approve it, possibly with conditions to protect consumers. That’s what happened in the case of Comcast and NBC. But such conditions leave lots of

People walk past the Time Warner building Monday in New York. AT&T plans to buy Time Warner for $85.4 billion. room for interpretation and can be difficult to enforce. They’re also usually stamped with an expiration date.

So for a glimpse of what the future might hold for AT&T and Time Warner, a look back at the Comcast-NBC merger can be instructive.

In Comcast’s shadow

Many of the government’s restrictions were designed to prevent Comcast, a giant cable company and internet-service provider, from favoring its own video offerings over those from online TV rivals such as Netflix or, on the other hand, keeping its programming from other cable or satellite TV companies.

Comcast said that since 2011, there

has been only one violation of the more than 150 federal conditions placed on its deal for NBC. The conditions expire in 2018.

But those conditions have been problematic, public interest groups and some competitors said last year during Comcast’s aborted attempt to acquire Time Warner Cable.

“These sorts of behavioral conditions are very hard to write, very hard to enforce and don’t necessarily always give you the precise outcome you were looking for,” said John Bergmayer, senior staff attorney at public interest group Public Knowledge, which generally opposes media consolidation as harmful to consumers.

For instance: • Under the conditions set by the government, if Comcast puts news channels near each other on the TV lineup, it must include competitors’ channels in the same “neighborhood.”

But Bloomberg said Comcast unfairly placed Bloomberg TV far away from other popular news and business networks, such as Comcast’s own CNBC. The Federal Communications Commission agreed with Bloomberg.

• Comcast was required to provide broadband-only subscriptions that weren’t bundled with phone or cable service, so that people could sign up for internet and get any TV they wanted from online alternatives such as Amazon or Hulu. In 2012, Comcast was fined $800,000 for not doing enough to let customers know they could do this.

• Comcast also was forced to treat all internet traffic on its network equally, a version of the government’s “net neutrality” rules designed, for instance, to make sure network owners such as Comcast and AT&T don’t put their own video programming in the internet fast lane while relegating rivals to the slow lane.

In March, Public Knowledge complained that Comcast was violating that condition by allowing users to stream a Comcast service called Stream TV without it counting against their data caps. Comcast said this is allowable, part because Stream TV is a box-free cable service that isn’t subject to internet traffic rules. The FCC is looking into such issues.

Bill Murray is honored with the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor on Sunday at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington.

Bill Murray honored as he accepts Mark Twain prize for humor WASHINGTON – In an evening filled with jokes about Bill Murray’s elusiveness and quirky personality, it was David Letterman who provided the most touching moment as Murray was honored with the nation’s top prize for comedy.

Murray, 66, received the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor on Sunday night at the Kennedy Center, joining several other “Saturday Night Live” alumni to win the annual award. After he was presented with a bust of Mark Twain, Murray handed it to a man in the first row of the audience and urged the crowd to pass it around.

Known for living outside the Hollywood bubble, Murray admitted he was uncomfortable sitting in a box with his family while more than a dozen of his co-stars and collaborators spoke warmly about his body of work.

“It’s really hard to listen to all those people be nice to you for two days,” Murray said. “You just get real suspicious.”

His acceptance speech followed a heartfelt tribute by Letterman, who made a rare public appearance since his late-night show ended last June. Murray was a guest on Letterman’s shows 44 times over the years, and the two grew close, even spending time together at Letterman’s vacation home in Montana.

After an appearance in 2003, Letterman told Murray his then-infant son would be christened that weekend. An hour later, Letterman said, a package was delivered to his office containing a handmade Irish linen christening gown.

“That Saturday, my son, in Bill Murray’s christening gown, was christened at St. Ignatius in Manhattan, and we have this memory, we have this gift, we have this gesture for the rest of our lives,” Letterman said.

LONDON – The Bard was not a solo act.

Oxford University Press’ new edition of William Shakespeare’s works will credit Christopher Marlowe as co-author of the three Henry VI plays, underscoring that the playwright collaborated with others on some of his most famous works.

Marlowe, a playwright, poet and spy, will share billing in the latest version of the New Oxford Shakespeare being published this week. While scholars have long suspected that Shakespeare’s plays included the work of others, new analytical methods helped researchers conclude that sections bore the hallmarks of Marlowe’s hand.

“Shakespeare, like other geniuses, recognized the value of other people,” Gary Taylor, a professor at Florida State University and the principal investigator of the new work, said Monday. “What is Shakespeare famous for? Writing dialogue – interactions between two people. You would expect in his life there would be dialogue with other people.”

A team of 23 international scholars looked afresh at the man many consider the greatest writer in the English language. The challenge, put simply: If one is going to compile the complete works of Shakespeare one first has to determine what they are.

The editors concluded that 17 of 44 works associated with Shakespeare had input from others. The scholars used computerized data sets to reveal patterns, trends and associations – analyzing not only Shakespeare’s words, but also those of his contemporaries.

Smart crib will rock your baby to sleep

By STEVEN OVERLY The Washington Post

It’s a sound new parents know all too well: The middle-of-the-night wailing of an unsettled baby who needs cradled, rocked, cooed and lulled back to sleep for, they hope, a few more hours. For the fussiest babies, it is a ritual that can happen multiple times a night.

A Los Angeles pediatrician fears that’s causing an exhaustion epidemic among new parents and has developed a technological fix he claims could give them precious more shut-eye. Snoo is an electronic bassinet that gently rocks from side to side and emits white noise to help ease a baby to slumber.

The smart sleeper also can hear when a baby cries in the night and automatically adjust to quiet them back to rest without a parent’s intervention.

The rocking motion and rhythmic sounds of the crib are meant to mimic the womb, a familiar environment for newborns that causes them to relax and fall asleep, said Dr. Harvey Karp, who co-founded smart-tech company Happiest Baby, with his wife, Nina Montée Karp. He has written several parenting guides, including “The Happiest Baby on the Block.”

Snoo is meant to be used during the first six months after a baby is born, before they are able to crawl and potentially escape its low walls.

Unlike human-propelled cradles, Snoo

reasons.

The sleeper has been vetted by product safety regulators, but has not been reviewed medically, Karp said. It was being displayed for other physicians for the first time last weekend at the American Academy of Pediatrics national conference in San Francisco.

Dr. Maida Lynn Chen is director of the Pediatric Sleep Disorders Center at Seattle Children’s Hospital. Snoo first popped up in her Facebook newsfeed earlier last week, and the child sleep specialist felt compelled to investigate the bed further.

Pixel doesn’t top the Android world – but it comes close

By HAYLEY TSUKAYAMA The Washington Post

Google has taken itself down a very promising road with its new Pixel phone line, offering a level of polish and power that makes it very competitive with the market’s top phones.

I admit I was a bit underwhelmed by the Pixel’s first appearance, which came at a Google launch event earlier this month. Google’s Nexus line of phones always had appealed well to the niche Android superfan audience, and on paper it didn’t seem the $750 Pixel really would offer that much more.

Yet my mind changed after the company sent me a Pixel XL to review. Both this 5.5-inch phone and its smaller sibling run pure Android and feature Google’s voice-controlled Assistant. The Pixel XL proved to be an elegant, capable and – best of all –

useful phone.

For one, it’s a nice-feeling phone.

The Pixel has the right heft to it while still keeping a slim profile. It sits well in hand; its fingerprint reader is on the back of the phone, in keeping with a design decision made for the last Nexus phones. It’s a more natural position, and the reader is so snappy that you’re rarely left to linger on the reader for long.

While HTC built the phone, Google completely designed it. It doesn’t have an ultra-slim, ultra sleek design, but it feels like more of a high-end phone thanks to its high-quality materials and how they sit in hand.

I haven’t had the phone quite long enough to make a good determination of its battery, apart to say that it easily lasts me through a day of normal use and doesn’t eat up as quickly, even during testing. The phone also charges very quickly, which is a serious point

in its favor, especially when traveling.

But the real point of the Pixel seems to be to show off the full extent of its system and its fancy new software. The phone will get the latest updates of Google’s software first, and come out of the box with the company’s latest system, Android Nougat.

Google’s Assistant shows a lot of promise, providing much of the same information and features as Siri in a smoother and more conversational style. It isn’t perfect, but it is impressive – especially for a first try at creating an artificial intelligence assistant. There are many things I like to ask Assistant it simply cannot yet do, particularly when it comes to interacting with third-party services.

But if Google’s aim was to replace its search bar with the voice-controlled Assistant, it’s well on its way to doing that given how well Assistant follows basic conversation.

If I had to pick some downsides, I’d say the camera is not always quite as crisp as competitors, particularly when it comes to taking portraits – though, as I said, the camera is very good overall.

Also, it would be nice to have this phone be waterproof. Waterproofing is really a phone feature people probably don’t realize they want until it’s too late. And if you’re putting down the cash for the Pixel, it’s probably an investment you want to protect.

Sure, the Pixel may not be a flashy buy, and lacks some of the high-end gloss of a top Android phone such as the Samsung S7 edge. But it hits the basics very well, and its performance and overall design show that Google finally may be serious about becoming a viable Android phone manufacturer on its own.

If it is, the Pixel is an excellent first step in that direction.

In some cases, Google Assistant even will anticipate your needs, such as when someone’s asking about getting sushi. An oval bubble appears with an offer to retrieve nearby sushi restaurants. After choosing one, you can tap for opening hours, directions or the menu.

Reservations aren’t available yet, although Google is considering third-party integrations such as OpenTable for dinner and Airbnb for accommodations. Apple’s Messages doesn’t invoke the Siri virtual assistant the same way, but it already offers integration with third-party apps so you can make plans (and reservations) while chatting.

Beyond planning, Google Assistant can give you the latest news and sports scores, translate phrases or do math calculations. Asking for directions will bring up Google Maps.

Limited smarts

The app’s intelligence still feels, well, limited. Although Google Assistant is an evolution of the Google Now feature that long has been on phones, it doesn’t do as much as Google Now in terms of identifying patterns or checking other Google services.

For instance, if a friend asks you

when your flight leaves, Allo won’t try to suggest a reply, even though Google has your calendar. Likewise, Google Assistant won’t automatically offer traffic conditions or transit schedules for your regular commute the way Google Now does.

You can request daily updates on the weather, news and sports. But you can’t get automatic updates whenever the score changes or a game ends.

Google calls its Assistant a preview. Following its debut on Allo, it will arrive on a smart speaker called Google Home this fall.

Too many apps?

Beyond making its Assistant smarter, Google will need to persuade people they need yet another chat app, something that could be tough given that Google already offers four of them.

Google’s Hangouts text and video calling service will be targeted at business users. Allo is the consumer offering, but won’t offer video calling.

That’s where the Duo app comes in.

And while Allo accounts are based on your phone number, not your Google ID, you can’t use Allo to receive regular texts. On Android, Google has Messenger for that.

28 Many factors affect blood test results Dear Dr. K: Last week, I received the results of some recent blood work. A few of my values fell just outside the normal range. My doctor says it’s fine, but I’m still worried. Do I need to be?

Dear Reader: A printout of lab results typically indicates normal ranges for each blood test next to your personal results. If your personal result is right in the middle of the normal range, likely you’ll feel relief.

But what if your result is at the very low or high end of normal, or even slightly outside the normal range? Should you worry? Unfortunately, there’s no straightforward answer. Here’s why.

With most blood tests, different laboratories would all come to pretty much the same result. However, with some tests there is more variation in the results from one lab to the next.

Another source of variation is you.

The levels of many molecules in our blood change, sometimes from hour to hour.

Blood sugar levels, for example, vary depending on what and when we ate. Other results are affected by how hydrated you are. Other results change with age.

The genes you inherited can affect results and may cause your results on particular tests to be outside the normal range every time tests are done. The question is not whether the result is “abnormal,” but whether it is becoming even more “abnormal.”

Results that change significantly over time are important even when a lab result is normal. For example, I had a patient whose PSA test for prostate cancer was in the low normal range every year for 20 years. Then, one year it was in the high normal range – still normal, but quite

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff different for him. I caught his prostate cancer at an early and curable stage.

There’s no magic about the cutoff point for calling a test result abnormal. Just as in the man with prostate cancer, a result in the normal range still can be a sign of disease. And results that are outside the normal range (“abnormal”) don’t mean a person has a disease.

With some tests there is danger if the result is abnormally high or abnormally low. With other tests, it’s worrisome only if the abnormality is in one direction.

So, here’s my general advice for dealing with laboratory test results. If the results are near abnormal or definitely abnormal, and your doctor says not to worry: • Suppose the result has changed significantly from when it was tested previously. If so, ask if that change means it should be tested again sooner than usual.

• Suppose the result is well into the abnormal range (not just over the line), but has not changed significantly. (For example, if a liver test has a normal range of 30-50, and your result remains 80, that is more worrisome than if your result remains 52.) If your result is way outside the normal range, ask if there are any diseases the result could indicate, and any other tests for those diseases that should be ordered.

• Write to Dr. Komaroff at www.askdoctork.com or Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

sure about what to do, you should have written down the woman’s license number, if possible, and alerted the store manager so the matter could be handled according to store policy.

However, if no policy is in place, you could have contacted Childhelp.org for guidance. It offers prevention, intervention and treatment programs and has helped more than 10 million children at risk or in trouble. Childhelp.org has a national toll-free hotline: 800-422-4453.

Dear Abby: What is the protocol for divorced parents paying for the rehearsal dinner for their son who is getting married? My ex-wife expects me to pay for a significantly bigger portion of the expenses, yet at the time of our divorce she insisted on splitting the assets 50/50.

My opinion is because we are equal in the parenting, we should divide the expenses 50/50. I’m willing to concede to her some credit if she does a significant amount of work and planning (over and above my own), but this should be negotiated ahead of time. We are both employed and have good incomes. We are both remarried and our spouses work. What’s your take on this, Abby? – Right Down The

I’m a 20-year-old college student and have had a job at the same retail store for two years. A few weeks ago, a mother walked in holding a baby that appeared to be about 6 months old. The first thing I noticed was he had numerous bruises. There were pronounced bruises under both eyes, another large one on his temple and several more visible on his arms and legs.

I have heard horror stories about parents whose infants have a medical condition that causes them to bruise easily, but the parents are accused of child abuse. This mother seemed attentive to her baby, and I saw nothing in her behavior to make me think her child was in any danger. I didn’t say anything, but I keep wondering if I should have called the police or informed my manager.

I’ve been telling myself there might have been an innocent explanation for the child’s injuries, but I don’t know if I screwed up. I didn’t want to meddle, and now I’m worried the baby might be suffering because I didn’t speak up.

Any advice on what I should have done/should do in the future would be appreciated. – Second

HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Keep your head above water and do your best to accomplish as much as possible without neglecting your personal responsibilities. A steady, practical approach will help you avoid any setbacks or missed opportunities. If you make your home your haven, you will find it easier to achieve happiness.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Work alone if you find it too much of a struggle to get along with others or find their positions untenable. Don’t be afraid to be different.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – A change to your appearance, to the way you do your job or

to how you present yourself will help ward off negative criticism and jealous acts.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Find out exactly what you want and then go for it. Don’t let distractions get in the way. Stick to what you know to avoid unrealistic promises.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Apply for a better position if you are bored. A change will do you good and lead to greater income potential.

Negotiate and get what you want in writing.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – It’s payback time.

The more you can offer others, the more you will reap in the future. Speak up, offer suggestions and help bring about positive change.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – You and a loved one will come up with a good plan that will help

stabilize your life. Stick to the budget you set.

Love conquers all.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Taking business trips and meetings, engaging in correspondence and making time to take care of your personal needs are all favored. Talks will lead to unusual deals and a chance to try something new.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – You must trust in what you can see, not in what someone tells you. Be bold and ask pointed questions. Don’t miss out on something good just because someone is jerking you around.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Attend a function or networking event that will bring you in contact with people from different walks of life. Discov-

ery and experimentation should be priorities. A partnership looks promising.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Problems at home are best dealt with intelligently. Don’t let professional stress cross over into your personal life.

If you calmly share your concerns with a loved one, you’ll be offered constructive suggestions.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Don’t let the little things get to you. Take care of your health by getting enough exercise and eating properly. An emotional situation must be handled with tact and empathy.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Don’t place unnecessary pressure on yourself or others. If something isn’t going well, look for simple solutions instead of indulging in expensive distractions.

IT’S REALLY HAPPENING

Cubs visit Cleveland on Tuesday for Game 1 of World Series / 2

2 Cubs vs. Indians

Finally back on World Series stage VIEWS Rick Morrissey CLEVELAND – Doesn’t it seem like the World Series is upon us too quickly, as if Chicago hasn’t had sufficient time to digest the Cubs’ National League pennant? All those years of hunger and then only one big bite before a new quest begins for more?

Yes, it does. And yet – and this can’t be overstated – 107-year-old beggars can’t be choosers.

On Saturday, the Cubs won their first pennant since 1945, setting off a massive party that is somewhere between still going on and still being recovered from. But the city moves forward, staggering maybe, haggard definitely, ready for the World Series.

The last time the Cubs won one of those was 1908. By now, you’re aware of that like you’re aware of your first and last name.

The Indians haven’t won a World Series since 1948, a drought Cubs fans refer to as “child’s play.” Cleveland has known its share of sorrow, just a smaller share.

“One franchise and one city is going to be really happy,” Indians manager Terry Francona said Monday. “The other one is going to probably [hear] all the same things you’ve heard year after year, and you’ll probably hear it again. I hope it’s them.”

That the Cubs have been shooting for this since last season ended doesn’t make what is to take place Tuesday night any less surreal. The franchise that always talked about aiming high but constantly was being treated for self-inflicted gunshots to the foot is ready to take on the Indians in Game 1 of the Fall Classic.

The Cubs. The Chicago Cubs.

“We’ve envisioned this since last year, since spring training this year, every bus ride we take, we envision it,” first baseman Anthony Rizzo said.

“We talk about it. When you’re so wrapped up in it, good things happen.

We’ve been talking about this and envisioning this that now that we’re here, it just feels like it’s another series.”

All the Cubs are proud of being one of two teams left in the postseason, but some carry the profound knowledge of being on the verge of accomplishing what so many Cubs never got the

Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo celebrates Saturday night with teammates after Game 6 of the National League Championship Series against the Dodgers at Wrigley Field. The Cubs won, 5-0, to win the series and advance to the World Series, which begins tonight in Cleveland, against the Indians.

[Saturday],” he said. “I was really nervous about that. The ball’s safe now.”

The guy who routinely stops at locker stalls in all corners of the clubhouse for chats with teammates before games decided in Los Angeles to take a bat belonging to Matt Szczur – who wasn’t even on the playoff roster – and turned Szczur into a celebrity by hitting a home run in a Game 4 Cubs win. He’s 7 for 12 since then – and now goes from the lefty-heavy Dodgers to the right-leaning Indians pitching staff.

“I just hope he uses the same bat,” teammate Jake Arrieta said.

He and second baseman Javy Baez have turned into the NL’s version of Elvis Andrus and Adrian Beltre on infield popups twice in the past two games, with Baez cutting in front of Rizzo to try to steal the catch – Rizzo playfully tossing the ball into Baez’s chest after the first one.

“We just have fun,” Rizzo said. “It’s a way of slowing the game down, especially on popups. I know he can handle it, and he knows I can handle it.”

Said Arrieta: “To see those guys be able to do that kind of a thing in such a big game means a lot. They’re not uptight. These guys are still having fun even though it’s the biggest game of their career.”

What looks especially big is Rizzo’s potential impact on a series in which

he’ll bat third against a team whose only real threat for trying to neutralize him from the left side is reliever Andrew Miller.

“Righty, lefty, ambidextrous, whatever they are, we’ve got to be ready to face them,” Rizzo said. “As long as we get the wins, it’s not individual now.”

But even Rizzo sees the individual potential Schwarber might have for affecting this series as another big lefty bat against all that Cleveland right-handed pitching.

“If he’s ready, he’s a huge part of this team,” Rizzo said. “He’s worked really hard to put himself in a position to even be able to do this. If he’s ready, it’ll be a huge boost for us, for sure.”

But first thing’s first with this team, as in the impact the MVP-caliber first baseman has.

Crabby pitcher John Lackey brought an edge to the team this year.

World Series winners Jon Lester, Ben Zobrist and Ross have brought veteran calm. But Rizzo balances that workmanlike tone with his own play-hard, laugh-hard influence.

“He’s a great teammate. And he’s still learning, still maturing,” playoff veteran Miguel Montero said. “Especially this time of year, as he gets to play in the playoffs, it’s helping him grow even more on an even bigger stage. And he’s going to become an even better player.”

CLEVELAND – One of these years Kyle Schwarber is going to play an actual regular season in the big leagues.

Until then, the Cubs gladly will take one more epic set of postseason games from the young lefty slugger, who is expected to be added to the World Series roster Tuesday after playing only two minor league games since a knee injury allegedly ended his season in April.

“It’s exciting to have him back,” shortstop Addison Russell said Monday – even before Schwar- Kyle ber doubled in three Schwarber at-bats, sliding into second base, during an Arizona Fall League game.

“It’s a big bat we’ve missed all year, but maybe he’ll be able to display some of the stuff he would have displayed in the season in the World Series.”

Schwarber, who spent 6½ months on the disabled list after tearing his left ACL and LCL in an outfield collision with Dexter Fowler, was scheduled to fly to Cleveland to join the team Monday night.

Team officials would not confirm the decision to activate him as their designated hitter for the series.

But indications were strong, and teammates anticipated having him in Tuesday’s lineup against righthander Corey Kluber.

World Series rosters are due Tuesday morning.

“He’s a legend already at such a young age,” teammate Jake Arrieta said. “It’s awesome. It just speaks to the importance of what he was able to do for us last year.”

Schwarber set a franchise record with five postseason home runs last year after making his big league debut in June.

Last week, he was medically cleared by his Dallas-based surgeon to run the bases and bat, far ahead of schedule, and activated from the 60-day DL to play in an AFL game Saturday.

• Tuesday, October 25, 2016

CLEVELAND – The spotlight’s sure to follow Kyle Schwarber’s every move Tuesday in Cleveland.

But as the Cubs open their first World Series in 71 years, the left-handed power-hitting star of this big stage still is Anthony Rizzo.

The first cornerstone locked into place during Theo Epstein’s organizational rebuilding effort, Rizzo is only four years removed from a 101-loss season, three weeks removed from closing out a 103-win season – and four wins away from doing what only Frank Chance has done as a Cubs first baseman.

“It was definitely a process, but it was a process that sure benefited me in a bigger way than a lot of these guys,” Rizzo said of the five-season rise toward Tuesday night’s World Series opener in Cleveland against Indians ace Corey Kluber. “I give [the front office] a lot of credit, and everything they’ve done to this point is huge.”

The trade for Rizzo in January 2012 certainly has proved to be huge, if not predictable. The original Red Sox draftee under Epstein and Jed Hoyer already had been traded from Epstein to Hoyer after Hoyer took over as general manager in San Diego, before eventually being acquired for the third time by Hoyer when the front office team moved to Chicago.

Now he’s the 27-year-old MVP-candidate veteran on a team of early-20-somethings. The fact he might be more of a kid than any of them is a big part of the influence teammates say has helped this team get so far.

“His personality is what this team’s all about, really,” said World Series veteran catcher David Ross. “Just being able to have fun our there and embrace the moment and still have fun says a lot about him.”

Rizzo kissed his bat for a national magazine cover. He kissed the baseball from the last out of Saturday night’s pennant clincher against the Dodgers.

And then he said he was going to sleep with the ball that night.

“The ball stayed in my car overnight because I couldn’t drive home

What to watch World Series: Cubs at Cleveland, 7 p.m., FOX The Cubs return to the World Series for the first time since 1945. Jon Lester will face the Indians’ Corey Kluber in Game 1.

WOODSTOCK – The goal for Woodstock North on Monday was to advance by playing its own game, not stooping to the level of its first-round postseason girls volleyball opponent.

“Just basically stay at our level, play and have fun, the stuff we’ve done all year just keep doing that,” Thunder coach Greg Bruns said. “We’ve been playing well lately, don’t let anything hit, get out there and play.”

The No. 13-seeded Thunder beat No. 20 Chicago Pritzker, 25-11, 25-12, in a Class 3A Woodstock North Regional quarterfinal Monday. The Thunder (1222) advance to face No. 4 Richmond-Burton in the regional semifinals at 5:30 p.m.

Tuesday.

“We came out as a team and we wanted to surprise people for this regional game so we fought as hard as we could,” junior Sami Long said. “Even if our competition was low, we wanted to fight our hardest to be ready for Richmond-Burton tomorrow.”

Brooke Amann and Allison Spitson led North with three kills apiece. Madisyn Selof passed out a team-high eight assists, and Maddie Busch made eight digs. The Thunder had 20 aces as a team.

“I thought we played really well – we didn’t play down to their level,” Amann said. “That’s harder for us because we’ve been doing that sort of, so we really stuck it out tonight and pulled through.”

The Thunder put the first point into the net, but after two consecutive points by the hosts, Pritzker never led again.

The Thunder went on a 9-1 run after a brief 2-2 tie, punctuated by an ace from Tori Galicia to make it 11-3.

The Thunder never trailed in the second set. A string of 11 consecutive points, powered by the serves of Long, helped the Thunder pull away, effectively sealing the outcome.

Long served eight aces, tying a North school record for aces in a match, set by Emily Andrychowski in 2013.

“I was just looking for open spots,” Long said.

Now, the Thunder face a tougher test in the form of R-B, recently crowned the inaugural Kishwaukee River Conference champion and a regional champion a year ago.

“We’ve got to be really aggressive because they’ve got one huge hitter that we just need to block more,” Amann said.

“We’ve got to get big blocks up there and play strong defense because their hits just go straight down. We were really close the first time we played them, so I think we can do it.

“We’re really excited. Hopefully, we can beat them and pull through.”

Marengo used a timeout to regroup.

After the timeout, Riley Connell responded with eight consecutive service points, including two aces, to put Marengo ahead, 22-14, and the Indians hung on, thanks to some im-

pressive net play by Emily Euker.

“We made a lot of mistakes in the first two sets, and it seemed like we started to think too much instead of just playing our game until the third set,” Euker said. “We started to gain confidence in the third set and played much better.”

Harvard jumped out to the early lead in the third set before Marengo was able to pull even and then go ahead for good behind the serving of Abigail Vito and the net play of Bailey Bertrand.

Harvard (1-31) was led by Baird, who finished with eight kills, and Hailey Tittle with 12 digs. Marengo was led by Bertrand with eight kills and Vito with 16 assists.

“Our seniors were excited to come all the way to Burlington and play this game,” Harvard coach Megan Nolen said. “Our service game was our weakness all season, and that hurt us again late. Tonight is only the second time we went to a third set all season.

I am proud of how we played.”

10 GIRLS VOLLEYBALL: CLASS 1A FAITH LUTHERAN REGIONAL

A-H wins first set, but Westminster rallies

By TIM FROEHLIG

sports@nwherald.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Things were looking good early for Alden-Hebron during its Class 1A Faith Lutheran Regional girls volleyball first-round match against Westminster Christian.

The sixth-seeded Giants took the first set in comfortable fashion, 2522, but dropped the final two sets to the No. 7 seed Warriors, 25-23, 25-16, ending their season.

The plan was simple in the first set for the Giants: Get the ball to sophomore outside hitter Melanie Nielsen any way possible.

Nielsen had six kills and a block in the first set and struck the ball harder than anyone else on either team routinely.

“I’ve been playing volleyball since I was in third grade,” Nielsen said.

“That’s how my parents met. Playing volleyball. We even have a volleyball court in our backyard. I’ve also been playing club volleyball for about six years now. I really enjoy playing for my

Webber had three kills in each set and was a model of consistency all evening. Knoll had five combined kills off the bench.

“It’s difficult to think about the fact none of us will be playing another game on the same team again,” said Knoll.

“Most of us have been in school together or on the same teams since preschool. So not having that in our lives anymore, as seniors, will be challenging.”

But not being around teammates again on the volleyball court wasn’t the most difficult part of her four years on varsity.

“I had a different coach every year,” Knoll said. “There were different drills.

Different approaches. But each of those four different coaches taught us all a lot. It wasn’t always easy. But I’d like to thank this year’s coach, Coach Nichols, for all her time and hard work. We had a lot of fun as a team. We’re all going to miss it.”

Denver gives Osweiler rude welcome in win over Houston

DENVER – The Denver Broncos ruined Brock Osweiler’s homecoming Monday night, incessantly hurrying, hitting and harassing their former teammate in a 27-9 win over his Houston Texans.

Coach Gary Kubiak returned to the sideline after his second health scare in three years, and he liked what he saw as the Broncos (5-2) snapped a two-game skid in sending the overwhelmed Texans home at 4-3.

Johnsburg alumnus C.J. Fiedorowicz had five catches for 35 yards for the Texans.

C.J. Anderson and Devontae Booker energized Denver’s sputtering ground game, both running for a touchdown.

But the big story was Trevor Siemian, Peyton Manning’s surprise successor, outplaying Osweiler, who was groomed to be Denver’s next QB but instead bolted to Houston in free agency, famously declaring the Texans gave him the better chance to be successful.

Hawks’ penalty kill stumbles again

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com CHICAGO – Michael Frolik wouldn’t go so far as to say he was rooting for the Blackhawks to take penalties during the dream season of 2013. But he wasn’t exactly upset by them, either.

Every trip, every hook, every elbow and every bit of interference was a chance for Frolik and Marcus Kruger – the Batman and Robin of the Blackhawks’ penalty kill – to hop over the boards and do what they do best. They weren’t just confident, they were borderline arrogant. Every penalty put the dynamic duo in the spotlight, and they relished every one of them.

“It was our main job at that time, and we were excited to go on the ice and kill for the team,” Frolik said Monday morning from the visitors’ dressing room at the United Center. “When you can help the team like that, it’s always nice. You feel like you’re a part of it, and it’s big.”

The vibe is a lot different on the Hawks bench these days. Every penalty feels like a goal against before the puck even drops. The confidence is completely shot. Even penalty-killing stalwarts such as Kruger and Duncan Keith are getting burned game after game after game.

If ever the Hawks were going to get their confidence – and maybe even their mojo – back, it was going to be Monday

Yet the Flames, 1 of 25 with the man-advantage entering the game, scored 39 seconds into each of their first two power plays and went on to win, 3-2, when Kris Versteeg scored the lone goal of a seven-round shootout.

At the point of the Flames’ second power-play goal of the night, the Hawks

had given up an unconscionable 14 goals on 23 opposing power plays. For some perspective, that 2013 team gave up 18 power-play goals in 141 chances.

“Just seems no matter what, it finds a way, a different way, every time,” coach Joel Quenneville said.

“It just seems to find its way to the back of the net if we just make one little mistake,”Jonathan Toews said.

A strong penalty kill can mask a lot

of other problems. It’s no coincidence that the Hawks had elite PKs in both 2013 and 2015, and struggled last season.

“I don’t know what’s going on there right now, but I remember we just had a great structure and we just always were on the same page,” Frolik said.

“Everybody knew what we were doing on the ice. Me and Krugs, we just talked a lot about it. Every time, we knew wherever the puck is, what we should do and what position we should be in.

We did a pretty good job. It was working. And after you kill a few, you’re building confidence, and that’s a big part of it, too. We kind of built that that year, and it was something special.”

On the bright side, the Hawks did kill three straight penalties – including a double-minor for high-sticking by Tyler Motte, who has been paired with Kruger on the top PK unit – after giving up the two quick power-play goals. The first successful kill of the night was met with mock cheers from the frustrated crowd. Any progress, no matter how small, no matter how weak the opponent, is encouraging at this point.

“We had better pressure, we won some faceoffs, had better clears, didn’t give them easy entries, [and had] more puck pursuit when it was time,” Quenneville said.

The Flames started the scoring at 4:51 of the first, 39 seconds after Motte took a tripping penalty.

Cutler medically cleared to play after thumb injury

By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@profootballweekly.com Quarterback Jay Cutler has been medically cleared to return to action, Bears coach John Fox confirmed Monday. Cutler has missed the past five games with a sprained thumb on his throwing hand.

The timing is fortuitous for the Bears, who have extra rest before Monday night’s game against the Vikings at Soldier Field. Brian Hoyer, who started for Cutler, broke his arm in Thursday’s loss to the Packers and underwent surgery.

“I think any time you can’t play as a competitor as a player, obviously, that’s hard, and I think he handled it great,” Fox said of Cutler. “He was very involved in the game planning both with Dowell and Brian. Through this process he’s been very helpful and been a great teammate and member of the team.”

Bears quarterback Jay Cutler has been cleared to play after suffering a sprained thumb and missing the past five games. career to his thumb, Cutler had completed 60.9 percent of his passes while throwing one touchdown and two interceptions. Hoyer had completed 67 percent of his passes and threw it 200 times without an interception, creating somewhat of a QB controversy when Fox did not confirm Cutler’s role as the starter a

few weeks ago.

On Monday, Fox clarified what he meant, saying, “At the end of the day, obviously, Jay’s our starter. He was injured, not permitted to play medically.

And now that he’s healed, he’s back to being our starter.”

The injury to Cutler combined with Hoyer’s efficiency at the position also brought into question Cutler’s future with the franchise. His contract is a year-to-year situation after this season without any guaranteed money. Fox was asked about the national speculation about Cutler’s long-term standing with the Bears.

“As a coach and a staff, you’re always trying to help your players through stuff like that, but one thing I’ve found in Jay in the time I’ve been here is that he’s very tough-minded and resilient,” he said. “Obviously, he went through a stretch where it’s tough not being able to play, and watching somebody else play

your position is never easy for any competitor at any position, so I think he’s handled it great, and I think he’ll handle it great moving forward.”

The Bears placed Hoyer on injured reserve Monday. Matt Barkley would be Cutler’s backup, and Fox wouldn’t rule out bringing in a third quarterback, likely someone for the practice squad.

As for the health of his three-time Pro Bowler at right guard, Fox said Kyle Long is dealing with a strained triceps.

The Bears will practice Tuesday, take a day off Wednesday and then get into preparation for the Vikings on Thursday, when they will release their first injury report.

Roster moves: The Bears released running back Joique Bell, claimed tight end Daniel Brown off waivers from the Ravens and promoted offensive lineman Cornelius Edison from the practice squad. They also added offensive tackle Arturo Uzdavinis to the practice squad.
