What’s really behind Prairie Ridge teacher’s suspension?

After speaking Monday with Prairie Ridge social science teacher William Walker about being placed on administrative leave before turning the story over to a reporter, it was immediately obvious that this story wouldn’t come out in one tidy package.

The news is messy sometimes. We can driveby Facebook comment on a headline, but there’s much more to a story than the headline and often more than what a reporter is able to discern in a few hours’ time.

The biggest issue with a story like this is that one side is accessible, while the other likely won’t be for understandable reasons. Prairie Ridge and School District 155 officials would be very unlikely to discuss a personnel matter in detail – not unless they have penchants for lawsuit depositions.

Walker believes he was placed on leave over an anti-Donald Trump YouTube video he showed to students, but even in my brief conversation he also mentioned a recent religious transformation and a blog that might have rankled his superiors or more likely his discussion of his newfound thoughts with his students.

Despite what we don’t know, there is much more going on here.

And let’s just say his blog and his religious concepts are a bit on the unconventional side.

Chapter 3 of Walker’s book is among my favorites. Warning: If you’re offended by language, don’t click the link.

I’ll summarize his beliefs? Revelations?

Musings? You be the judge. Essentially, God was a hermaphrodite who split into male and female form and copulated to create the universe. Many of these “truths” were revealed to him in a September vision, Williams wrote on his blog.

I’m Catholic, and we have odd notions such

TODAY’S TALKER Muslim businessman accuses yacht club of discrimination

HARTFORD, Conn. – A Muslim businessman and his wife are suing a Connecticut yacht club on allegations that club board members rejected their membership application because of their religion and falsely claimed they supported terrorism.

Kamran Farid, a co-founder the fruit bouquet business Edible Arrangements, and his wife, Kara, sued the Pine Orchard Yacht & Country Club in Branford in state Superior Court in August, alleging

WHERE IT’S AT

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK Kevin Lyons as virgin birth and many others that defy logic, so I’m not sure I’m the best one to judge.

“Now, I can see far right-wing conservatives falling out of their chairs at this supposed form of sacrilegious blasphemy ...” Walker wrote.

Perhaps. While I’m personally fairly tolerant of irreverence, I won’t abide by Walker’s notion that God “helped Sammy Hagar join Van Halen after their split with David Lee Roth.” Finding even a shred of holiness in Van Hagar is the real blasphemy.

So proselytizing over a presidential candidate might not have been Walker’s biggest problem. Many teens get enough of that from the old man half of the time they sit down for dinner. A social science teacher probably should do that thoughtfully and carefully if he chooses to do so.

Regardless, I’m guessing teens are like most adults and tune out political bloviating no matter the source.

What we don’t really know is what else Walker was telling his students, other than that he was already “on thin ice” in his own words.

In the meantime, you’re free to check out www.williamrevelations.com and reach your own conclusions.

About the disciplinary action against Walker, but not about Van Halen frontmen.

discrimination, racism and bigotry. They’re seeking a court order for the club to stop discriminating, undisclosed damages and a suspension of the club’s permit to sell alcohol.

The club’s lawyer denied the allegations Tuesday.

Farid, 38, an American citizen who moved with his family to Connecticut from their native Pakistan in 1980 when he was 2, said he, his wife and their children became provisional members of the club in July 2013. But in July of last year, Farid said he received a letter from the club saying his membership was ending and he no longer was allowed on club property.

Family Health Partnership Clinic marks 20 years serving McHenry County

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – When Suzanne Hoban worked in refugee settlements in Asia, she knew there was a problem when it was easier for them to get health care than it was for those living in the middle of Chicago.

After working overseas, Hoban moved back to the U.S. and to McHenry County in the 1990s in hopes of changing what she considered to be “startling” observations.

“As we looked at this county when we moved up here, we realized there really was no place for people to go who didn’t have health insurance,” Hoban said.

Hoban opened the Family Health Partnership Clinic in April 1996 in Harvard. When the clinic first began, there were about 16,000 uninsured people in McHenry County, according to data from the University of Illinois School of Medicine.

“When we first opened, there was not much of an awareness of not having insurance,” she said. “A lot of people really took it for granted and didn’t understand it was an issue in the county.”

And 20 years later, the clinic has continued to grow.

The primary care clinic staffs 30 volunteer physicians and nurse practitioners. Patients can receive treatment for women’s health, internal medicine, family practice, optometry and orthopedic, as well as an integrated mental health program. The clinic operates on a sliding-fee scale, although no patient is turned away if they are unable to pay. During registration, patients are required to bring in proof of income in order to determine an appropriate payment plan.

The clinic now stands at a 10,000-square-foot facility in Crystal Lake, 401 Congress Parkway, which opened in 2013 after a $3.2 million campaign. The Family Health Partnership Clinic Sage Center for Care is twice the size of the old clinic. Hoban said this move allowed them to see more patients on a regular basis.

Hoban said the clinic receives no government funding and is supported through the community, foundations and corporate support. Earlier this month, nearly 2,000 participants took on the Care4 Breast Cancer 5K, where all proceeds supported the Fam-

Email tips@NWHerald.com

CRYSTAL LAKE – District 155 has issued a statement contradicting teacher William Walker’s claims about the reason behind his administrative leave.

The Prairie Ridge High School teacher said Monday that he had been placed on leave because he endorsed Hillary Clinton in his world studies class. He also said he was “already on thin ice” because of a recent religious awakening that he wrote about extensively and had discussed at school.

“I was kind of indirectly pushing it, and it was enough to make administration leery,” he said.

District officials said Tuesday that the Clinton endorsement wasn’t the reason

he was placed on indefinite leave, but they declined to specify the details behind the decision.

“We cannot comment further on this personnel matter at this time,” the statement read.

Walker has been with district since 1993 and earns more than $112,000 a year, plus $19,000 in benefits, according to district documents. He also wrote an online book and blogs at his website, williamrevelations.com.

The title of the book is “How I walked willingly to my death and was actually reborn: a book of revelation, inspiration, hope, love and rebirth and how I am going to usher in the second coming of Christ by bringing Bill Maher back to faith.”

The content focuses on what he calls an awakening, and Walker frequently details his various revelations and visions, including his theory of how the universe began, which claims God began as a hermaphrodite and involves numerous sexual references and vulgarities.

Chapters go on to discuss vegetarianism, karma, religious symbolism and life

Walker wrote that he knew he could take some heat for the content of the website.

“I realize that this could affect my family and friends in a negative way (and why I am not exposing my given names at this time),” he wrote.

“And when I do eventually reveal who I AM, I hope they understand and forgive me if my actions cause them any grief in their daily lives. I also realize that this book may even cost me my career.”

One-time projects increase County Board budget $20M County again spurns inflationary increase

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – While McHenry County government’s operating costs continue to shrink, a number of onetime expenses will increase its 2017 budget.

The county has submitted a proposed $251.6 million budget for the next fiscal year, an increase from the current 2016 budget of $231.6 million, which was the smallest county budget in almost a decade. However, for the fifth straight year, the county will not take the inflationary increase that local governments are entitled to under the tax cap.

Projects included in this budget that are contributing to the larger overall budget include emergency appropriations that include replacing the roof of the county government center, buying and installing a new 911 system, upgrading computer-aided emergency dispatch, and relocating the Emergency Telephone System Board to give it needed space.

If capital expenses are not factored in, the county’s general fund budget for 2017 decreases, mostly through personnel-related cost controls such as elimi-

nating positions once they become vacant.

The budget and levy, which are on 30-day review, will be voted on by the County Board at its Nov. 15 evening meeting. The fiscal year for counties runs from Dec. 1 to Nov. 30.

While the draft budget will again spurn the inflationary levy increase, it reinstates the levy for Valley Hi Nursing Home, but to pay for capital projects rather than add to the home’s already deep financial reserves.

Next year’s budget sets the levy at $2.75 million, but shunts all but $10,000 of it into the county general fund for capital purposes. The County Board last year, citing the multiyear cash reserve that the county-owned nursing home has accumulated, eliminated the levy for one year.

But under the tax-cap law, eliminating the levy for a second consecutive year would abolish it altogether, meaning a voter referendum, which created the levy in the first place, would be required to reinstate it. The tax cap limits the increase that local governments can collect over the previous year’s tax extension to either 5 percent or the rate of inflation, whichever is less.

The consensus of County Board

What’s next The McHenry County Board will vote on its 2017 budget and levy at its Nov. 15 meeting, which starts at 7 p.m. at the county Administration Building, 667 Ware Road, Woodstock.

Online You can read a copy of the draft 2017 budget at http://shawurl.com/2wi7. members at a Committee of the Whole meeting Oct. 7 was to bring back the levy and use it for the time being as a way to finance needed capital projects without borrowing money or deciding to once again start taking the inflationary levy increase, which has a compounding effect in future years for taxpayers.

The Valley Hi levy adds up to between $20 and $30 on the average homeowner’s property tax bill.

The county budget only maintains the operations of county government, not schools, municipalities, townships or other taxing bodies. County government accounts for only about 10 percent of a homeowner’s total property tax bill.

WOODSTOCK – A Woodstock-area crash sent one person to the hospital Tuesday, a fire official said.

Woodstock Fire/Rescue District Capt. Karen Bush said that about 2:50 p.m. crews responded to McConnell and Lily Pond roads.

McHenry County Sheriff’s Deputy Aimee Knop said a red 2004 Pontiac Coupe accelerated too hard while making a right turn off Lily Pond Road onto McConnell Road.

The car then drove into a ditch off McConnell Road and hit a tree, Bush said. The driver was taken to Centegra Hospital – McHenry in good condition, she said.

There were no passengers in the car, Bush said. She said the vehicle sustained moderate damage to the driver’s side and was towed.

The driver, 28-year-old Timothy R. Atkinson of Woodstock, was cited for failure to reduce speed, improper lane use, driver’s license expired more than a year and reckless driving, Knop said.

Helping Paws asking for donated shoes by Dec. 15 Shoes will go to people in developing countries

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Helping Paws Animal Shelter is collecting shoes through Dec. 15 to help people in need and raise money for the shelter. As of Tuesday, the shelter has collected 350 pairs of donated footwear.

The goal of the drive is to collect more than 2,500 pairs of shoes, which would help raise at least $1,000 for the no-kill animal shelter. Helping Paws would get this money from Funds2Org, an organization that helps nonprofits raise funds.

“Funds2Org will send out a truck at the end of the fundraiser to pick up all the shoes,” Helping Paws director Sharon Bono-Fabian said. “Funds2Org would then redistribute the shoes to people in developing countries, such as Haiti and Honduras. So we’re hoping we have a truck full of shoes by mid-December.”

As for the money raised, Bono-Fabian said the funds would go toward saving more animals and helping them get adopted.

“I’m so impressed with our community,” Bono-Fabian said. “There are so many people stepping up to help the cause, which helps both our animals and people in need of shoes.”

“I had one person recently walk in with a bag of about 100 shoes that were from her and all her friends,” Bono-Fabian said.

Donated shoes will only be accepted if they contain no holes and the soles are in good condition.

Donations can be dropped off at Helping Paws, 2500 Harding Lane, Woodstock.

Other participating drop-off locations include Uptown Salon of Woodstock, Bentley’s Pet Stuff of Crystal Lake, Hometown Eye Care of Lake in the Hills, and Nicolino’s Trackside of McHenry.

WELCOME TY STEIN, M.D., F.C.C.P. JANUARY 2017!

Every year around Halloween, one movie keeps coming up. A cult classic. It’s not particularly scary. In fact, it’s a musical comedy.

If you look up Rocky Horror Picture show on the internet, you’re likely to come across news of a recent reboot being made for Fox. For many this is great news; worrisome, but great news.

That’s because for many this has not just been a favorite cult classic, but a cult-cultural phenomenon.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show is an intentionally tacky faux-horror flick about a young couple (recently engaged of course) whose car breaks down and they are forced to the nearest house for help. That house is a castle owned by a transvestite alien named Frank N. Furter. Hilarity ensues.

One reason why this is so exciting for so many is due to the fact the Frank N. Furter is now going to be played by a transvestite, as opposed to Tim Curry. This is also a con-

tentious point, as Curry’s portrayal is one of the classic’s trademark features— Curry is synonymous with the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

The reboot is a must-see. So, if you’re going to watch anything one TV this week, this should be it.

But its real impact will only hit you if you’ve seen the original, long-heralded as the cult-classic-of-cult-classics with its own special rituals to go right along with it.

Lucky for those who’ve yet to partake, across the country theaters and performing arts centers will be showing it for the Halloween season.

CARY – The Cary School District 26 Board has refunded a portion of its Series 2011 bonds and dedicated some of its fund balance to further reduce debt.

The 2011 bonds were issued when the district was going through “financial trouble,” said Jeffrey Schubert, District 26 finance and operations director.

“They issued these bonds to gain financial strength again,” Schubert said.

Refunding a portion of the bond generated about $620,000 in savings, according to a news release from the district.

The school board also plans to dedicate about $250,000 toward principal on some of the district’s debt, and plans to set aside about $1.6 million to retire another bond in 2020, the release stated.

This is expected to save taxpayers

about $3 million over the life of the existing bonds, through 2023, Schubert said.

More savings are expected after the next refunding bond sale in November, the release stated.

The district expects to deliver more than a $4.7 million reduction to future property taxes once refunding programs from 2013 and 2014 and further abatements are accomplished, the release stated.

“The refunding of these bonds will result in significant savings for taxpayers of Cary,” Schubert said in a statement. “It has been the goal of the Board of Education to look for ways to generate taxpayer savings without impacting our classrooms, instructional programs and services to families.”

The board unanimously approved the 2011 bonds refunding at its Aug. 29 meeting, according to meeting minutes.

Autumn ushers in yet another allergy season For those who love autumn, these are the days to savor. Cooler nights, leaves changing colors and shorter days. It’s enough to make the creative among us wax rhapsodic.

Football. Leaf raking. Bonfires.

The list goes on and on.

Some of us, though, try as we might, just can’t seem to find that same level of joy. Maybe because we are tired, achy and sneezing most of the time. Did I mention grumpy, too?

Say the word “allergies,” and most people probably think “spring.” Or maybe “summer.” A lot of people have heard about or seen the struggles of allergy sufferers when the trees begin to bud or when there’s a freshly mown lawn nearby.

Yet, for those of us who have the hardest time in the fall, these are the days we dread most.

The American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology says the main culprit for fall allergies is ragweed, which grows everywhere but is especially prevalent here in the Midwest. Peak ragweed time is mid-August through October.

VIEWS Joan Oliver It’s especially troublesome because ragweed pollen is very small and easily floats in the air. One ragweed plant can release a billion – yes, with a “b” – grains of pollen over the course of one season. So there’s really no way to get away from it.

In someone with a ragweed allergy, the body goes on the attack against the pollen invader, releasing a flood of histamine, which causes the wellknown allergy symptoms. Those include sneezing, nasal congestion, red, puffy eyes and itchy throat. Even hives are possible.

As if ragweed, with its 17 species, weren’t enough, other plants, including burning bush, cocklebur, pigweed and lambsquarter, also cause problems in the fall.

Then there’s my personal favorite:

mold. As all those lovely leaves fall to the ground and the rest of the gorgeous greenery dies off, they start to decay and mold counts climb.

With autumn also comes virus season, so a lot of people have a difficult time distinguishing between a cold and allergies.

So what can we do if it turns out to be allergies? The American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology offers these tips: • Keep windows and doors closed at home and in the car during allergy season.

• Monitor pollen and mold counts.

• Remember that ragweed pollen levels are highest in the morning.

• Take a shower, wash your hair and change your clothes after you’ve been working or playing outside.

• Wear a NIOSH-rated 95 filter

mask when mowing the lawn or doing chores outside, and take appropriate medication beforehand.

In addition, using a dehumidifier can help with keeping indoor mold at bay. Unfortunately, there’s not much that can be done about the outdoor mold until there’s snow on the ground.

It’s probably time to seek out an allergist if your symptoms are interfering with your life and over-thecounter antihistamines aren’t giving you any relief.

With any luck, the suffering should be coming to an end shortly. My allergist tells me it’ll get better once there’s a good, hard frost.

In the meantime, forgive the sniffling. And please pass the tissue.

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 What’s your plan to reform the state’s underfunded pension systems?

The pension issue is an issue of fairness. Is it fair for middle-class working families making an average of $57,000 per household to finance lifetime benefits for government workers? Is it fair to perpetuate an unfunded state pension system where pensioners could be left with pennies on the dollar if we don’t act sooner than later? State workers deserve the security and control of owning their own retirement accounts and shouldn’t have to pay into a system controlled by politicians focused only on their next re-election campaign. The only real solution is transitioning from a defined benefit system to a defined contribution pension system for new employees. For retirees and current employees we must honor what they’ve earned, but moving forward, there’s no reason we can’t reform these benefits. For new personnel, these benefits should be comparable to what the rest of us see in the private sector. I support another attempt at pension reform because Illinois has: the largest unfunded pension liability in the nation; the worst credit rating in the nation; the highest unemployment in the Midwest; One-quarter of the state budget is spent on pension payments (most states only spend 5 percent.)

The Supreme Court has clearly ruled that the state cannot reduce pension benefits and other retirement benefits (such as health insurance) that have already been earned and promised. So we cannot, once again, attempt to cut pension benefits and have another long protracted court fight. I do think that we need to change our funding schedule (i.e. the “ramp”) so that we can essentially “refinance” our pension debt so that it is more affordable for the state. We need a dedicated (and guaranteed) revenue stream to pay for pensions, so that the state meets its promised obligations and the pension funds don’t end up back in the same financial position they are now in. I also support exploring the option of allowing individuals to buy out of their pension plan. In order to get a good handle on how this would impact the unfunded liability and financially stability of the systems, I’d support a pilot program where inactive individuals in the pension systems would be able to buy out of the system. While there is already a cap of 6 percent on end of career pay spikes, which has largely eliminated teacher pay spikes, the pay spike scheme has primarily been abused at the administrator level. We need to do more to hold school districts accountable for administrative pay, especially when it negatively impacts the pension system.

Do you support a constitutional amendment to allow for redistricting reform in Illinois? Explain.

Yes, not only do I support term limits, I helped circulate the petition to get the initiative on the ballot! I was disappointed in the recent ruling that found the initiative unconstitutional. I echo Justice Robert Thomas’ harsh comments that “democracy has been stifled.” A fair map would be an important step in protecting the interests of all voters, not just those of whichever party happens to be in power. For the record, I also support a constitutional amendment on term limits, to be decided by the voters. Illinois is one of only 11 states that do not have some form of term limits.

This is not a fridge issue anymore.

I do support a constitutional amendment to allow for redistricting reform in Illinois. Gerrymandering districts is bad for democracy, and it’s bad for Illinois. We need real and true redistricting reform, locally and nationally. But, further, the governor is not interested in people having a fair vote and expanding the voice of the voters. The governor just vetoed a bill that would implement automatic voter registration. Further, the governor’s staff made it clear that they wanted to wait to implement the law until 2019 - after the governor attempts to win re-election. The bill had strong, bipartisan support, and has been successful in increasing voter turnout in other states, such as Oregon. We should be trying to increase voters’ engagement with democracy, not doing what Gov. Rauner wants to do and limit it.

Do you support a change in the school funding formula? Can equitable change be achieved without a tax increase? Explain.

We need to reform the state’s school funding formula away from property taxes, but remain revenue neutral, with no hidden taxes. The plans being discussed in Springfield like Sen. (Andy) Manar’s SB231 take away millions of state aid from the school districts in Algonquin, Huntley and Crystal Lake. For example, SB231 would rob 51 percent of state funding from Crystal Lake District 47. This is unacceptable. ... Part of the reason I am running for office is because I want every child in Illinois to have access to a quality education, regardless of their parents’ income and zip code.

When I look around this state, it is very clear that just isn’t happening. I also support the expansion of charter schools and the introduction of tuition vouchers in Illinois. The first step to education is introducing more competition. Parents deserve more choices for educating their children.

I believe that the fairest funding formula for Illinois schools would be along the lines of the evidence-based formula set out in SB1403 wherein funding would be determined per child, based on their educational needs. No matter what funding formula changes occur, it is important that all school districts be held harmless, which means that at some point more money will need to be injected into the system. If we can stop the transfer of revenues FROM school districts into things like TIFs and other corporate welfare programs, we would be able to increase the money available for the school funding formula.

What project in your district, unrelated to tax or budget issues, will be your top priority if elected?

I support smart infrastructure development that is locally driven. McHenry County wants access to Interstate 90. Currently McHenry County is the largest county in the country that does not have direct access to an interstate within its borders. Kane County wants another bridge over the Fox River.

Algonquin wants congestion relief on Randall and Algonquin roads. As long as the projects are locally approved, planned and controlled, I believe the residents should have access to the Motor Fuel Tax they’ve already paid at the pump. As a representative for McHenry and Kane counties, it is my job to make sure our MFT comes back to the district and not be used for Chicago’s pet projects.

I would like to see an innovation incubator established in the district. All over the country cities and towns are opening so-called innovation villages or campuses where entrepreneurs can build businesses and innovate. I believe that this is the scientific and business wave of the future and that we should get in on it now. I would like to see our energy and efforts moved from kowtowing to behemoth corporations to helping young, innovative startups and small companies like programs in cities like Kansas City’s “Launch KC” initiative that assists small- and medium-size tech companies.

Sign up for HARVARD text alerts from the HARVARD – Mayor Jay Nolan reNorthwest Herald at shawurl.com/textalert. signed from his post Tuesday after Message and data rates apply. more than 11 years to

start a distillery in town.

Nolan made the announcement at Tuesday’s Harvard City Council meeting, after a resignation from his role as liquor commissioner Jay Nolan and after a vote had been made approving the license for his company, Rush Creek Distilling.

State officials notified the mayor he must step down before receiving the state liquor license, he said.

“We didn’t realize it was going to be this way,” he said. “I’m starting a new venture, and this is one of the harder things about it.”

The distillery will open at 1501 Diggins St. and should be running by the beginning of 2017. Rush Creek plans to distill and sell a variety of liquors, such as vodka, bourbon and whiskey. Tastings and distillery tours could begin as soon as the spring, and the company

plans to sell to distributors as well, Nolan said.

Jim McConoughey of Woodstock, a partner on the project, said that he was looking forward to working with the Harvard business community.

“We all knew Harvard and its characteristics,” he said. “It’s really a very friendly environment, which is what attracted us to the region.”

Council members must appoint a council member to fill the mayoral position for the remainder of the term, and Nolan will serve as mayor until a replacement is identified. The council member may or may not give up their council seat, city officials said.

“It’s very big shoes for someone to fill,” said Chuck Marzahl, 1st Ward alderman. “I have been an alderman for eight years, and [Nolan] certainly has been a benefit to all of us and a great representative for the city of Harvard.”

FRANK A. CACCI

Born: June 29, 1916 Died: Sept. 22, 2016

Frank A. Cacci was given the gift of life June 29, 1916 and took mortal leave Sept.

22, 2016. For over 100 years, Frank was a steady rock in the lives of his family and friends and a solid leader within the community.

Frank’s low golf score was one of his proudest accomplishments, second only to his family. He won many a golf game, well into his 90s, often pressured by his 70-year-old golfing buddies to prove his age with a flash of his driver’s license.

Even in death, Frank will continue to mentor his son on his golf game; Frank Jr. still uses the 24K gold-plated putter that the Woodstock Country Club awarded his dad for a par-3 hole-in-one on July 29, 1964. Without a doubt, Frank is giving Arnold Palmer a run for his money on that grand golf course in the sky.

“It ain’t what you want to do, it’s what you have to do” was a common expression of Frank’s. Early in life, he personified this sense of duty as a member of the Rockford, IL police force in the 1930s. After World War II, he moved to Woodstock, IL where he owned and operated the Woodstock News Agency from the late 1940s through the early ‘80s.

He gave many boys and girls their first job delivering newspapers. He became a pied piper of sorts, instilling a great work ethic and proud sense of responsibility in hundreds of kids and young adults during their formative years. He could also fold a mean newspaper hat.

A fighter in life until the day he passed away, Frank proudly served as military police in World War II. He was awarded the European-African-Middle Eastern Theater Ribbon with three bronze battle stars for

the Invasion of Normandy, Battle of Stalingrad and Battle of the Bulge. In addition, he received the Good Conduct Medal and World War II Victory Medal.

Frank was one of the original eight members of Woodstock’s VFW Honor Squad (1947) and served as commander from 1949 to 1950. He was a member of the Elks (1953) and was awarded life membership in 1983.

He served as president of the Woodstock Country Club in 1960.

Frank’s sense of fairness and devotion to family and God were just a few his of many exemplary characteristics. When asked about his life, he would humbly say in Sicilian, “Semu ricchi e unnu sapi nuddu” (“we’re rich and we don’t know it”).

His spirit is carried on in life by his four children: Nancy Reidy of Tomah, WI (husband Ray, son Mark and wife, Nancy, granddaughter Marissa) Ginger Wineburgh of Chicago, IL (late husband Buddy Wineburgh, stepdaughters Suzie, Mindy and Amy, stepson Andy) Frank Cacci Jr. of Kyle, TX (wife Jackie, son Tony and wife Catie, granddaughter Zara; daughter Heather and husband Shane, granddaughter Macey) Chris Cacci of Evanston, IL, his second wife Esther of The Villages, FL (stepson John Flood and wife Judy) and countless nieces, nephews and dear friends.

Frank is reunited with his wife Arlene and his brother Joe Cacci of Rockford, IL (wife Mary) who preceded him in death.

Anne worked hard all her life. Often times she was working alongside her husband. She loved spending time with her family. Anne also loved to crochet blankets. All you had to do was give her the yarn and Anne would create a beautiful crocheted blanket.

STATE

Illinois has most registered voters since 1970 The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – The number of registered active voters in Illinois ahead of next month’s election is at its highest since 1970, even edging past the number from 2008 when Barack Obama – then a U.S. senator from the state – ran for president, officials with the state Board of Elections said Tuesday.

The increased numbers come amid an unprecedented campaign season in which Democrat Hillary Clinton, the first female major-party candidate for president, has squared off against Republican billionaire Donald Trump.

There were nearly 7.99 million registered active voters and 758,000 inactive voters in Illinois as of Tuesday morning, state board of election spokesman Jim Tenuto said. That’s more than the 7.8 million who were registered before the 2008 presidential election, the previous high since 1970. Inactive voters are those who haven’t voted in the past two federal elections.

The number likely will tip beyond 8 million before Election Day, Tenuto said, because 62,000 people registered online over the weekend and the applications have not been processed yet.

Governors of Ohio, Ill. place bets over Cubs-Indians series

COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Republican governors of Illinois and Ohio are betting cases of beer, pizza and other ballpark favorites on the World Series that began Tuesday between the Cubs and the Indians.

On his Twitter page Monday, Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner wagered a Chicago-style deep-dish pizza and microbrew beer from Chicago if Cleveland wins.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich returned the challenge on his Twitter page, promising to send Rauner “fan favorites” if Chicago wins. A Kasich spokeswoman said those would include items such as local beer and ballpark mustard from Cleveland.

Voters cast their Illinois primary ballots in January 2010 at an early voting polling place in Chicago. Illinois election officials said the number of registered active voters in the state is at its highest since 1970.

Illinois also has grace-period voter registration, which means voters can register through Election Day but must cast a ballot when they register.

Both Democrats and Republicans in Illinois appeared to be taking advantage of early voting opportunities in the state this election cycle.

The states’ two Democratic U.S. senators also made a beer wager with one another, as did their Republican counterparts.

The Illinois lawmakers get beer from Cleveland if the Cubs win, and the Ohioans get Chicago beer if the Indians triumph.

CHICAGO – The major-party candidates running for Illinois comptroller faced off Tuesday in their only televised debate on the issues of campaign donations and paying the state’s bills.

Republican incumbent Leslie Munger and Democrat Susana Mendoza appeared together on Chicago’s WTTW, at times interrupting one another.

Both insisted they are independent despite support from the leaders of their parties, Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan.

“We are working hard to turn out voters across the state with a strong focus on early voting and absentee ballots,” Illinois Republican Party spokesman Steven Yaffe said.

Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan of Chicago also is chairman of the Illinois Democratic Party. His

was appointed to the post last year after Republican Judy Baar Topinka died shortly after her 2014 re-election. Mendoza, a former state lawmaker, is Chicago’s city clerk.

The winner of the Nov. 8 special election will finish out the four-year term.

Libertarian Claire Ball of Addison and Green Party candidate Tim Curtin of Hillside also are running.

Hand, foot, mouth disease spreads on U of I campus

URBANA – University of Illinois officials are reporting new cases of hand, foot and mouth disease among students on the Urbana campus.

Dr. Robert Palinkas told the News-Gazette that about 10 new cases have brought the total to a little more than 70 since the beginning of the semester.

He said campus housing units are focusing on sanitation and that some affected students

spokesman, Steve Brown, said early voting efforts are a “very good thing” and give voters a chance to get to the polls despite hectic schedules.

In Chicago, nearly 17,500 voters had cast ballots by the close of business Monday, the first day of expanded early voting in Illinois, according to the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners. The Chicago Sun-Times reported that an additional 22,000 voters already had voted in Chicago because early voting started Sept. 29, the earliest time voting was available before an election in Illinois.

In suburban Chicago, the first day of early voting nearly doubled the previous record. Cook County Clerk David Orr’s office said there were about 25,600 early voters Monday. That’s compared with the previous record for the first day of early voting, when about 13,800 people early voted in 2008.

“There are contests and initiatives up and down the ballot that are generating a lot of interest from voters, who obviously want to make sure their votes are cast,” Orr said.

Chicago has about 1.5 million active registered voters, which is below the 2.3 million who were registered in the late 1940s and early 1950s.

have been isolated.

Hand, foot and mouth disease causes painful sores in the mouth and on the hands and feet. It is caused by viruses and can spread through coughing, sneezing or kissing. An infected person can spread the virus to others by touching objects and surfaces. Hand-washing is an important strategy to prevent its spread.

The illness is more often seen in day care centers.

Ruling in McDonald’s payroll card suit is upheld on appeal

WILKES-BARRE, Pa. – An appeals court has upheld a judge’s decision that the owners of 16 McDonald’s restaurants in Pennsylvania violated state law by paying hourly employees strictly with fee-laden debit cards.

Luzerne County Judge Thomas Burke Jr. last year granted class-action status to a 2013 lawsuit by employees who

said the payroll card they were forced to use charged fees for numerous kinds of transactions.

The three-judge Superior Court panel agreed Friday that a debit card “is not ‘lawful money’ and is not a ‘check’ ” as deemed by the Pennsylvania Wage Payment and Collection Law. The franchise owners had argued that a debit card was the “functional equivalent” of a check or lawful money.

After the suit was filed, franchise owners Albert and Carol Mueller said they would give employees the choice of being paid by check, direct deposit or payroll card. A spokeswoman for the franchise owners said they were evaluating their options.

The Superior Court said state lawmakers still are trying to decide how to regulate debit cards as a form of payment for work.

Representatives for Oak Brook, Illinois-based McDonald’s Corp. didn’t immediately return a message seeking comment Tuesday.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Authorities search for suspect in Okla. killings

OKLAHOMA CITY – Authorities have been hunting for nearly two days for an Oklahoma man they say posted live videos to social media while running from police during a violent rampage that included shooting two police officers, armed car thefts, and killing his aunt and uncle, apparently attempting to cut off their heads.

Michael Dale Vance Jr., a 38-year-old man from Chandler, Oklahoma, is wanted on multiple charges, including two counts of first-degree murder. Police said he was last seen early Monday about 30 miles from the Texas border in western Oklahoma – 165 miles away from where the manhunt began Sunday night in Wellston.

The FBI is coordinating the search for Vance among several federal, state and local agencies and is deliberately being tightlipped about the information that is released so Vance isn’t tipped off to their efforts, spokesman Terry Weber said in a statement.

The inaugural “Live From Trump Tower,” an online program hosted by Trump campaign surrogates Boris Epshteyn and Cliff Sims, directly competed Monday with the ABC, CBS and NBC national newscasts and their increasingly gloomy assessments of the Republican presidential candidate’s chances of winning the upcoming election.

The program, expected to air eight more times before the election, is collaboration between the campaign and a fledgling company that has been streaming Trump’s campaign rallies online for more than a year.

Trump attacks health care law after report The ASSOCIATED PRESS DORAL, Fla. – Suddenly armed with fresh political ammunition, Donald Trump and anxious Republicans across the nation seized on spiking health care costs Tuesday in a final-days effort to spark election momentum.

The Republican presidential nominee, trekking across must-win Florida, insisted “Obamacare is just blowing up” after the government projected sharp cost increases for President Barack Obama’s signature health care law.

Democrat Hillary Clinton, fighting to block Trump in the same battleground state, has vowed to preserve insurance for the millions of Americans covered under the law, but her team described the cost surge as a “big concern.”

The renewed emphasis on health care gave battered Republican House and Senate candidates a brief respite from months of painful questions about their presidential nominee, who has questioned the integrity of the U.S. election system while facing personal allegations of sexual misconduct. Trump has denied any wrongdoing.

“My first day in office I’m going to ask Congress to put a bill on my desk getting rid of this disastrous law,” a fiery Trump told thousands of voters gathered at an airport along the Interstate-4 corridor.

Blessed with an unexpected political gift, however, it’s unclear whether Trump will be able to capitalize.

“He could make this race for the last two weeks a referendum on Obamacare. But of course he won’t do that,” former Ted Cruz strategist Chris Wilson said. “It’s just a matter of him swatting at flies instead of having a coherent and consistent message.”

Indeed, Trump has struggled to stay focused on the

He opened Tuesday by promoting one of his Florida golf resorts, highlighting the extraordinary intersection between his business and political interests. Trump also is scheduled to attend Wednesday’s opening of his new Washington hotel.

“We’re at Trump National Doral. And it’s one of the great places on earth,” Trump said during a visit to his golf club.

He encouraged his employees to praise him at the microphone and said many of them are having “tremendous problems with Obamacare.”

The Doral general manager later clarified that 95 percent of the club’s employees are on company-provided insurance.

The Department of Health and Human Services reported late Monday that premiums will go up sharply next year under the federal health care program, and many consumers will have just one choice for their insurer. Before federal subsidies, premiums for a midlevel benchmark plan will increase an average of 25 percent across the 39 states served by the federally run online market. Some states will see much bigger jumps,

others less.

Republicans have been fighting the president’s health care law since 2010 with little political success. Yet in a campaign dominated by Trump’s controversies, vulnerable Republicans across the nation are eager to latch onto a familiar conservative cause.

In Arizona, Republican Sen. John McCain has repeatedly assailed his Democratic challenger, Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick, for having called the health care overhaul her proudest vote. In Indiana, GOP Rep. Todd Young has sought to keep the focus on former Democratic Sen. Evan Bayh’s vote for the law before leaving the Senate six years ago.

Several Republicans in difficult races leapt at Tuesday’s rate increase, including Sen. Kelly Ayotte in New Hampshire and Roy Blunt in Missouri. Fighting a challenge from New Hampshire Gov. Maggie Hassan, Ayotte’s campaign asked, “Will Hassan continue to stand in lockstep with Hillary Clinton and her party in support of the failing law?”

Clinton did not address the cost surges during an afternoon rally on the Broward College campus in Coconut Creek.

Reading Podesta’s stolen emails a ritual

By MICHAEL BIESECKER The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Poring through thousands of private, stolen emails from Hillary Clinton’s confidants has become a daily ritual in Washington.

The hacked emails – some mundane, others laced with intrigue about election strategy, snarky barbs, whining about salaries or perceived slights – provide an inside, real-time view of the insecurities, sniping and self-promotion that churn beneath the surface of a heated presidential campaign.

Yet it’s also uncharted territory fraught with ethical dilemmas: Should a private individual’s stolen correspondence be read? How does someone respond publicly when they’re the subject of a private email? Have the emails been altered?

Nearly every morning since Oct. 7, WikiLeaks has tweeted out an alert that it was publishing on its website anoth-

AP file photo

John Podesta speaks Nov. 19, 2014, in Washington. Poring through tranches of private, stolen emails from Hillary Clinton’s campaign is fast becoming a grinding daily ritual in Washington. er couple thousand messages stolen from the email accounts of John Podesta, chairman of Clinton’s presidential campaign. As of Tuesday, it had published more than 31,000 of Podesta’s emails dating to 2008.

WikiLeaks appears on track to continue releasing batches of

Podesta’s emails right up until Election Day. The Podesta emails follow a string of notable illicit caches released during the 2016 election campaign, including thousands of messages stolen from the Democratic National Committee and former Secre-

tary of State Colin Powell. The FBI has opened a criminal investigation into the DNC thefts, but U.S. intelligence agencies are firmly pointing to the Russian government.

Donald Trump said he doubts the Russians are behind the cyberattacks. For weeks, the Republican nominee has highlighted the contents of the hacked emails on Twitter and in his speeches, as his campaign issues multiple news releases a day.

Despite Trump’s bombast, no bombshell revelation has emerged to significantly alter the presidential race or prompt calls for the Democratic nominee to drop out – as happened with Trump after the leak of a decade-old video of him vulgarly bragging about groping women.

In a few instances, the messages actually have undercut Trump’s talking points. Rather than the well-oiled, octopus-tentacled cartel of international conspiracy painted

by Trump, the Clinton Foun-

dation in Podesta’s emails is riven by rumors, funding woes and internal feuds – among them a bitter rift between the candidate’s daughter, Chelsea Clinton, and a former aide of her father, former President Bill Clinton.

While the leaks do underscore the coziness between the Clintons and well-heeled donors, Trump’s reliance on the hacked emails has given even some in his own party pause, especially as he has continued to express admiration for Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“As our intelligence agencies have said, these leaks are an effort by a foreign government to interfere with our electoral process, and I will not indulge it,” Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who backs Trump, said recently in an interview with ABC News. “Further, I want to warn my fellow Republicans who may want to capitalize politically on these leaks: Today it is the Democrats. Tomorrow it could be us.”

BAGHDAD – Iraqi forces battled Islamic State fighters Tuesday for a third day in a remote western town far from Mosul, but the U.S.-led coalition insisted the latest in a series of “spoiler attacks” had not forced it to divert resources from the fight to retake Iraq’s second-largest city.

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi acknowledged that the militants briefly seized the local government headquarters in the western town of Rutba, offering new details about the assault, which U.S. and Iraqi officials have sought to downplay since it began on Sunday.

The White House envoy to the U.S.led coalition battling IS insisted the militants’ strategy was failing, saying there had been “no diversion whatsoever” of forces taking part in the Mosul operation, which is expected to take weeks, if not months.

“Daesh is trying to launch spoiler attacks,” Brett McGurk told reporters at a Baghdad news conference, using the Arabic acronym for IS. “This was expected, it’s planned for, and we can expect more of it.”

The complex assault on Rutba, lo-

still a “small Daesh presence” in two neighborhoods.

The Iraqi military has insisted throughout the Rutba assault that the situation is under control, without offering further details.

Al-Abadi acknowledged Tuesday the militants did have some initial battlefield successes at the start of the offensive Sunday. “They took control, it’s true, of the municipal headquarters,” the Iraqi prime minister told reporters.

But he said Iraqi security forces drove them out “within hours” and had regained control of the town.

However, Rajeh Barakat, an Anbar provincial councilman who sits on the security committee, said earlier Tuesday that IS fighters still were clashing with security forces in two southern neighborhoods of Rutba.

“We have reports saying the militants killed some civilians and members of the security forces, but we don’t know how many,” he said.

Near Mosul, fighting continued Tuesday in a belt of villages and towns to the north, east and south of the city.

Maj. Gen. Haider Fadhil said the Iraqi special forces had reached a village about 4 miles from the eastern edge of Mosul.

ANOTHER VIEW

Air Force now hiring The U.S. Air Force has big plans to expand its fleets of fighter jets, bombers and drones. But who is going to fly them all?

The dearth of combat pilots is becoming a crisis.

The Air Force could be 700 fighter pilots below its needs by the end of the year, and it is short 200 drone pilots. What’s more, tens of thousands of commercial pilots are near the federally mandated retirement age of 65.

Some reasons for the military pilot shortage are obvious: relatively low pay, longer deployments, the aforementioned private-sector employment opportunities. Other reasons are less transparent.

The act of dropping bombs on unseen enemies – whether the pilot is in a cockpit or a cubicle – takes a mental toll, and post-traumatic stress disorder is on the rise.

There are steps the military can take beyond offering more money. Air Force Secretary Deborah James has opened drone-pilot jobs to senior enlisted men, not just pilots and other commissioned officers. The service is testing now with a small group of trainees, but it needs rapid expansion. Another possibility is for the Air Force to offer those leaving active duty a strong financial incentive to stay in the reserves or join the Air National Guard.

But perhaps the biggest boost could come from a comprehensive reform of the Pentagon’s archaic up-or-out promotion policies, under which officers deemed unsuited for top commands are pushed out of uniform before they qualify for full retirement benefits. Some pilots just might want to stay in the cockpit their entire careers rather than being promoted out of it, and the military should be more flexible in allowing them to do so.

Part of this reform also should involve ensuring that becoming a drone pilot is no longer an automatic career dead end. The service also could raise the age cap for aspiring pilots.

As for the psychological toll, the Air Force has to come to grips with the fact fighter and drone pilots are just as prone to mental-health issues as ground combat troops. For starters, it should expand a fledgling program that brings behavioral-health specialists into the Air Force’s primary care clinics.

As the skills gained in uniform become increasingly relevant to a tech-savvy private sector, the civilian-military competition for talented workers only is going to intensify. To maintain the best military in the world, the Pentagon will need to figure out how to keep its pilots.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Why Obama won’t listen to reason One of President Obama’s cherished conceits is disagreement with him can have no rational basis, and it was the theme of his most recent speech in defense of his health care law.

Only “ideology” and “politics” are keeping Republicans from working with him to expand Obamacare’s reach.

He himself is, as always in his self-portraits, the picture of reasonableness, willing to accept Republicans’ ideas if only they would operate in good faith instead of holding “60-something repeal votes.”

Obamacare substantially has increased the number of Americans who have health insurance, as the president boasted. Some of his other claims – notably, “This law has actually slowed down the pace of health care inflation” – are more dubious.

But the core problem with his speech was not that he overestimated the merits of Obamacare. Nor was it the partisan silliness in which the pres-

VIEWS Ramesh Ponnuru ident sometimes indulged. It’s that he refused to acknowledge conservatives have reasonable disagreements with him about the direction of health care policy.

Obama believes only comprehensive insurance policies are real insurance. Conservatives generally believe, by contrast, people should be free to buy cheaper policies that protect them only from financial catastrophes arising from their health needs.

Obama claims Republicans have offered no alternatives to the health care law. They have in fact outlined their own far-ranging plans for health policy. But it’s true they have not offered alternative ways to get just as many people covered as comprehensively as Obamacare does.

If you start with Obama’s assumptions about what the goals of health policy should be, then it is true there is no reasonable basis for rejecting his policies.

But those assumptions are not self-evidently correct.

A lot of conservatives want a less regulation-heavy system, where everyone has access to relatively cheap catastrophic policies. Obama’s speech offered no reasons for them to stop wanting that or trying to do what they can to move health policy in that direction.

Obama resorted to a number of ill-considered analogies in making his pitch. One likened Obamacare to a “starter home”: “It’s a lot better than not having a home, but you hope that over time you make some improvements.”

Sometimes, though, you decide you want a different kind of home altogether, and work until you can move there.

Library wasting our money

To the Editor: The referendum asking to expand the Crystal Lake library artfully phrases the tax burden as being $132 a year for a $200,000 home. Let’s look at it differently. The dollar amount of bonds the library is requesting ($30.1 million) divided by the Crystal Lake population (40,743 per the 2010 census) equals a debt in the amount of $738.78 plus interest for every single man, woman and child living in the city.

My wife and I have two children, so our proportional share of the proposed debt is $2,955.11. I am appalled the library has the gall to ask us for a $2,955.11 loan. I am further appalled the library already has spent millions to acquire land and to hire an army of architects, consultants and lawyers in furtherance of this fool’s errand.

Send a message to the library on election day: Stop wasting our money.

Women for Trump

To the Editor: I am a woman, and I support Donald Trump. According to the media, I shouldn’t. However, this election is not about whether Trump respects women,

nor, for that matter, whether Hillary Clinton respects men. It is not about making history. This election is about respect for our Constitution, for American citizens at home and defending our Constitution abroad and respect for the sensitive, secret information we entrust to our leaders.

The Republican-Democratic party (Repub-O-Crats) are playing a carefully crafted game of “good cop/bad cop” as we the people are losing our country.

To the Editor: The fiscally sound decision for Crystal Lake taxpayers is to vote yes for the new library. There isn’t a zero-cost option.

To keep operating the current library would be choosing to pay for a string of expensive repairs not obvious to the casual library user.

Many of the library’s major operating systems have met or exceeded their useful life span and should be replaced or extensively upgraded, costing an estimated $9.1 million, based on two capital repairs assessments conducted in 2010 and 2015. The repairs needed are listed at http://crystallakelibrary. org/2016FAQs.html, and click the 10th question: “Why would it cost $9.1 million to repair the existing building?”

To the Editor: Boo to the village of Lake in the Hills for: 1. Allowing the worst traffic conditions after this year’s Sunset Festival fireworks. Miller Road was backed up to the park, preventing anyone from leaving the parking field in any direction for almost an hour.

2. Poor planning of the new light on Reed and Lakewood roads. Since the biggest problem there is turning left from Reed onto Lakewood Road during busy traffic, that turn lane needs to be much longer. The left-turning traffic now will clog the regular road, making it impossible for cars to pull up to the front to make a right turn when traffic allows. The adjacent subdivisions will be delighted when they start seeing more cars cut through there.

3. Approving the new non-participative amusement tax to offset the lost revenue from the red light cameras. Instead of planning ahead for the shortfall, they create another fantasy tax.

To the Editor: In reference to Mr. Richard Stack’s letter Oct. 21, on C-Span’s Oct. 21 Washington Journal, one of the guests was the editor of Politifact, and the subject of Hillary Clinton selling Uranium to Russia came up. The story is rated as mostly false. Uranium One is a Canadian company that was being bought by a Russian company. It has uranium mine holdings in the west. For this reason, the sale had to be OK’d by nine federal agencies, including the State Department. It is not clear whether the vetting process reached as high as the secretary’s desk.

What is clear is what the Russians really were interested in were Uranium One’s holdings in Kazakhstan. Russia could not export any uranium out of the United States because it does not hold the proper permits. As an FYI, the United States produces only 2 percent of the uranium it uses. The rest is imported.

Politifact is a very useful source which is available to anyone interested in getting the real story. Just Google it.

Caterpillar stung by global economic funk The ASSOCIATED PRESS PEORIA – Caterpillar’s third-quarter profit was essentially cut in half with the global economy stuck in a funk, and the company said that it expects that malaise to extend into next year.

The construction and mining equipment maker lowered its outlook for the year and shares of Caterpillar slipped almost 2 percent in midday trading Tuesday.

Falling commodity prices on the farm, in the mines, and in the oil patch have forced a deep reduction in equipment spending.

The earnings report Tuesday was the first since Caterpillar announced that longtime CEO Doug Oberhelman was stepping down.

Oberhelman said in a company release that there is an abundance of used construction equipment in North America, as well as idle locomotives.

Around the world, mining trucks are sitting around being unused, he said.

“Economic weakness throughout much of the world persists,” he said.

Caterpillar announced last week that Oberhelman will step down at the end of the year and be replaced by Jim Umpleby, an executive who has worked at the company for more than 30 years.

Oberhelman will remain chairman through March and then retire.

The company’s stock is up about 40 percent since Oberhelman was named CEO in 2010, but Caterpillar has posted falling revenue for the past three years.

Oberhelman said Tuesday on a confer-

“We remain cautious as we look ahead to 2017.”

ence call with investors and analysts that he decided to leave on his own, citing his age.

“There’s no drama here,” the 63-year-old said.

Caterpillar now expects annual pershare earnings of $3.25 and revenue of $39 billion, down from its previous forecast of $3.55 per share and revenue between $40 billion and $40.5 billion.

Its outlook is below the $3.53 per share earnings and $40.1 billion in revenue that Wall Street analysts expected, ac-

cording to FactSet. Looking ahead to next year, the company expects revenue to be essentially flat. If oil prices remain stable or rise, the company said it may see a more “positive” second half of the year.

“We remain cautious as we look ahead to 2017,” Oberhelman said.

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 2016

Amy Schumer is brushing off critics who say her parody of Beyonce’s “Formation” video is racially insensitive.

The video features a sweaty Schumer dancing to the song with Goldie Hawn, Wanda Sykes and Joan Cusack. Some Twitter users are slamming the video for cultural appropriation.

Beyonce’s version of the clip showed the singer sitting atop a New Orleans police car sinking in floodwaters. It also includes images of a hooded black child facing police and graffiti scrawled on a wall that reads “Stop Shooting Us.” The YouTube clip has three times as many negative votes as positive recommendations.

Prince Albert II of Monaco waves Tuesday after touring a house he recently bought in Philadelphia. It’s the home where his mother, Oscar-winning actress Grace Kelly, grew up and accepted a marriage proposal from Prince Rainier III.

Prince Albert II visits mom Grace Kelly’s home after buying it PHILADELPHIA – Prince Albert II of Monaco was in Philadelphia on Tuesday inspecting a house he recently purchased: the home where his mother, Oscar-winning actress Grace Kelly, grew up and accepted a marriage proposal from his father, Prince Rainier III. Albert spent nearly an hour inside the home and walking around the property, which he bought for $754,000. He waved to the media, and a handful of fans lined up on the sidewalk across the street from the home, but made no public statements.

His cousin, John B. Kelly III, attended the inspection with Prince Albert and said afterward the prince is still considering ideas about what to do with the 2.5-story Colonial home.

Kelly said it’s possible the home could house the U.S. office of the prince’s charitable foundation, which focuses on environmental issues. He said they also were discussing ways the space could be used to showcase interests that Princess Grace held dear, such as fashion, Irish literature, drama and athletics.

But opening it as a full-time museum is unlikely, adding, “If it was successful, the neighbors wouldn’t like us very much.”

For now, they are focusing on getting the home back in good condition while discussing ideas for its use.

The home was built in 1935 by Grace Kelly’s father, John B. Kelly. He was a three-time Olympic gold medal-winning rower in the 1920s and later a prominent businessman active in Philadelphia politics.

Grace Kelly left Philadelphia at age 20 for Hollywood but remained adored by Philadelphians through the years. The city mourned after she died in 1982 from injuries she suffered in a car crash in France that involved her teen daughter.

LOS ANGELES – Rita Wilson’s phone has been blowing up – and it’s all David S. Pumpkins’ fault.

Ever since her husband, Tom Hanks, appeared on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” as the strange man in the pumpkin suit in that haunted elevator, Wilson has received all sorts of crazy David S. Pumpkins things, including clips, texts and gifs.

She couldn’t quite explain why the irreverent skit was so effective or why it’s become something of an internet sensation since airing last weekend.

But, like a Pavlovian response, “Whenever I see it, it makes me want to laugh,” she said at the second annual InStyle Awards on Monday night.

Wilson giggled at the thought she might get her own repeat show at home.

“There might be a little David Pumpkins in my future,” she said. “I can just call him up and go ‘Bring it, I need a little David S. Pumpkins today, honey.’ ”

Emotional support duck takes first plane ride, raises awareness after going viral

By AMY B WANG • The Washington Post

M

ark Essig was settling into his puddle-jumper flight from Charlotte to Asheville, N.C., on Monday when he noticed an unusual passenger boarding the plane.

It was a duck. Making his way down the aisle.

He is a 4½-year-old Indian Runner duck and is her emotional support animal, she explained.

“I heard a few maybe semi-critical mutterings, like, ‘Now I’ve seen everything,’ ” Essig told The Washington Post. “But most everybody was delighted to have a duck on a plane. As they should be.”

Like many other passengers, Essig snapped a few photos while Daniel and his human were boarding. After takeoff, Essig tried to concentrate on light reading during the flight, but he kept inadvertently glancing toward the duck, just a row ahead and to the right of him.

When he saw the duck staring out the window, he couldn’t resist taking one more picture.

After the flight, Essig posted his photos on Twitter.

“My seatmate, [from] CLT [to] AVL, is this handsome duck named Daniel,” Essig tweeted first. “His gentle quacking eases the sadness of leaving #SFA16,” the Southern Foodways Alliance conference in Mississippi.

“I was expecting that this might amuse a couple of my friends,” he said. What he didn’t anticipate was that the photos would go viral.

It turned out that a duck wearing shoes and a diaper on a plane was too much for the internet to handle.

Essig posted two more photos and a video. Both tweets were shared thousands of times. The most popular one, however, was a picture of Daniel as the duck seemed to stare forlornly out the airplane window: “Daniel, the duck on my flight, likes to look at the clouds,” Essig stated simply. That photo had more than 5,000 retweets and more than 11,000 likes.

Within two days of Essig’s tweets, Daniel had become an internet sensation, getting featured on BuzzFeed, ABC News and Cosmopolitan, among many other sites.

The attention surprised Daniel’s

Wearing red shoes. And a Captain America diaper.

The duck’s human introduced him to their fellow, now-amused passengers: This was Daniel Turducken Stinkerbutt, or Daniel for short.

year later, Fitzgerald, a former horseand-carriage driver in Milwaukee, was involved in a serious accident.

Her horse was badly injured, and the crash sent Fitzgerald hurtling toward a metal-grated drawbridge. For months, she was immobile.

“It took them four months to teach me how to walk again,” Fitzgerald said. Along with the physical pain, she suffered post-traumatic stress disorder.

Since the accident, Daniel has accompanied Fitzgerald everywhere, mostly car rides. Monday had been Daniel’s first time flying on a plane (or flying, period). She provided a note to the airline from her doctor, who has said it is in Fitzgerald’s best interest to have Daniel around for support, but otherwise had a smooth trip. The crew on their first leg, before their connecting flight to Asheville, even insisted on posing for pictures with Daniel and presenting him with a “Certificate of First Flight.”

The Transportation Department is debating new rules regarding accommodations for disabled people on airplanes, including reviewing rules for emotional-support animals, USA Today reported. The department began allowing emotional-support animals on planes, but it has offended some passengers.

“Here’s the thing. Who are we to say what is and what isn’t an emotional support animal or what can and cannot be a pet?” Fitzgerald said. “Or what they can do for people who have PTSD like I do? Having it is hell.”

Daniel apparently enjoys movies, but only “super G-rated” ones.

HEALTH BRIEFS

Study backs Pokémon Go benefits recommended average activity guideline A new report from researchers at Microsoft found Pokémon Go initially contributed to a major uptick in physical activity among its players, with possibly staggering public health effects. After downloading the game, the average highly engaged player increased his daily walks by 1,473 steps.

But one month after starting, the report found, those gains began to fade. Healthy or not, most players just ... get sick of the game.

The study, which is under review for journal publication, relied heavily on proprietary data from Microsoft, the company that funded the research. They observed a substantial increase in physical activity among players: on average, an extra 192 steps a day for each of the 30 days after they started playing. “Highly engaged” players, those who searched Bing for Pokémon Go terms repeatedly, increased their walks by even more steps: up to 1,473 extra steps daily.

Those gains particularly were pronounced among young and sedentary people, or those who walk less than 5,000 steps. After beginning the game, 32 percent of frequent players met the

of 8,000 daily steps – compared with 12.2 percent before they started playing, and 21 percent in the United States on average.

STD rates hit record high in U.S. as screening clinics close

Infections from three sexually transmitted diseases have hit another record high, federal health officials reported.

More than 1.5 million cases of chlamydia were reported last year, up 6 percent from the year before. About 400,000 cases of gonorrhea were reported, a nearly 13 percent increase from 2014.

The biggest increase, 19 percent, occurred in syphilis cases, with nearly 24,000 reported, according to the annual report on STDs released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

CDC officials said STD rates are rising at a time when many of the country’s systems for preventing those infections have eroded. In recent years, more than half of state and local STD programs have had their budgets cut, resulting in more than 20 health department STD clinics closing in one year alone, the CDC said.

HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Looking back will help you move forward. Assess your old dreams and look for ways to bring them to life or put them to rest and move on to new interests. Helping others will encourage people to help you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Consider the consequences of an imminent decision before moving forward. A couple of changes on your part will make it easier to bypass opposition.

Proceed with compassion and intelligence.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Be cautious when dealing with others. Counter anyone trying to interfere in your personal life. Make

plans secretively and wait until the last moment to divulge your next move.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – An unexpected offer will have its pluses and minuses. Don’t toss aside your strategy for someone else’s wild idea. Put some effort behind your dream.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Don’t think about change when you can make it happen. You have what it takes to control whatever situation you face. Seize the moment and proceed full speed ahead.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Your dedication to and involvement in events that can change history or influence your lifestyle will be appreciated and rewarded. A partnership looks promising. Negotiate and move forward.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – If you look for a moneymaking opportunity, you will find one. A new job, contract or skill will lead to a higher income. An unexpected gift or windfall is apparent.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Get cracking. A hands-on approach to whatever you do will help you gain respect and give you the control needed to finish what you start and reap rewards.

Put your money in a safe place and focus on positive personal changes.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – You don’t have to do everything all at once. Set up a practical

schedule and stick to it. Your tenacity and hard work will pay off and impress onlookers.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Take care of your health, wealth and emotional well-being. The changes you want to make will meet with opposition from someone who is jealous of you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Emotions will be difficult to control and are best dealt with carefully. Acting on an assumption only will make matters worse. Talk to someone you trust for insight and guidance.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Keep your thoughts to yourself. Situations will rapidly get blown out of proportion if you are too quick to complain or criticize. Focus on yourself, not on trying to change others.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff dling comes from a study published in the journal Pediatrics. Although swaddling can help babies to sleep on their backs, that’s not what parents sometimes do.

The study found when swaddled babies were put on their sides or bellies, instead of their backs, their risk of SIDS went up a lot. For those put on their bellies, especially babies more than 6 months old, the risk doubled.

The study can’t tell us exactly why the risk doubled. But one can imagine a tightly swaddled baby might not be able to get her head up if she started having trouble breathing. And if that swaddling blanket came loose and she was face down, it also might make smothering more likely.

Here’s what parents should consider when they think about swaddling: • Always put your baby to sleep on his back. This is true no matter what, but is especially true if he is swaddled.

• Make sure whatever you are using to swaddle can’t come loose.

• Babies’ legs need to be able to bend up and out at the hips for healthy development. If your baby is going to spend a significant amount of time swaddled, use a swaddling sleep sack that lets the legs move. It might not be quite as effective in calming the baby, but it is safer for the baby’s hips.

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

Dear Dr. K: The other day, I swaddled my niece before putting her down for her nap. My sister told me that’s dangerous.

Really?

Dear Reader: My colleague Dr. Claire McCarthy, assistant professor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School, confirmed your sister is right.

To swaddle a baby is to wrap cloth (such as blankets or large towels) tightly around the baby, making it harder for the infant to move his or her arms and legs.

My mother said when I was an infant, I used to bang on the bars of my crib with my hands and feet. I guess, even at 6 months old, I longed for freedom and independence. Or maybe I was just ornery.

In any event, when I got that way, she swaddled me.

Perhaps you have swaddled your babies and with no ill effects. In fact, swaddling has been part of caring for babies for centuries – millennia, really.

It makes a baby feel like he’s back inside the womb, or being snuggled close. It calms many babies and helps them sleep better.

It also can really help some parents get their babies to fall and stay asleep on their backs. And that’s what pediatricians recommend to help prevent sudden infant death syndrome, or SIDS, which is more likely when babies sleep on their stomachs. Babies who are swaddled also are less likely to startle themselves awake.

But there are downsides to swaddling.

Because swaddling keeps the legs together and straight, it can increase the risk of hip problems. And if the fabric used to swaddle a baby comes loose, it can increase the risk of suffocation.

dating, your girlfriend still is hiding your relationship, I think that’s exactly what you should do. LGBT people come out in their own way, in their own time. If this difference in where the two of you are is a deal-breaker, you should move on and find someone more compatible.

Dear Abby: For the past seven years, I have been in a long-distance relationship. I see him every three months. He is divorced and a workaholic. I love him very much, and he says he also loves me.

I put a tattoo of his name on my hip. When I showed it to him, he was shocked. He said he was flattered, but it was “a bit much.” Then he said he would never tattoo someone’s name on himself unless he first asked permission.

I told him I really love him, and even if something happened and we broke up for some reason it was all right. I said I am 60 years old, and it was my body and my decision, and I did it for myself because I will never love another man the way I love him.

Abby, do you think I should have asked him first? – Tattoo In San Diego Dear Tattoo: You are an adult, and at age 60 you should not have to ask anyone’s permission to get a tattoo. If, after seven years, you see this man only every three months, it should be plain he’s not interested in a closer relationship.

Most men would be flattered you got the tattoo, unless they were afraid it might somehow reveal you are lovers. Are you absolutely sure this man is divorced? Your situation is so peculiar it’s time you did some double-checking. Better late than never.

Dear Abby: I’m DEAR ABBY a lesbian dating a woman who is Jeanne still in the closet.

Phillips She now identifies as bisexual.

We have been dating for about a year.

The issue is she still is in contact with a lot of her ex-boyfriends. I don’t expect her to come out of the closet on my time. However, I do have a problem with her talking to ex-boyfriends when they don’t know she’s in a relationship.

She thinks I’m overreacting. However, she has admitted she’d have a problem with me talking to exes and not bringing up the fact I’m in a relationship.

She finally has admitted I am a friend and introduced me to her family and one other friend. It took a lot of work to get that far. I am demanding she acknowledge – at the very least – she is in a relationship. I’m not demanding she tell them it’s with a girl. I don’t want to date someone who is ashamed of me.

Most of the time when she talks to an ex, new romantic interests don’t seem to come up. I would prefer she tell them right away, although she argues it isn’t the right time to randomly bring it up in a conversation. I no longer trust her to care more about my feelings than her interests. Should I say goodbye to this one? –

Still hard to believe Cubs are part of World Series VIEWS Rick Morrissey

INDIANS 6, CUBS 0 Chicago

CLEVELAND – It was a sign from above. Well, it was a sign anyway.

Right up there on the massive Progressive Field big screen before the game began.

Chicago Cubs vs.

Cleveland Indians

Had we stumbled upon an alternate universe? Had there been some sort of distortion of the time-space continuum?

Actual Cubs in an actual World Series game. Imagine that.

And then, as if this moment wasn’t big enough ... as if the Cubs weren’t already tugging on enough heartstrings by getting to their first World Series since 1945 and trying to win their first one since 1908 … Kyle Schwarber walked onto the field before Game 1 Tuesday night.

Where the heck were we? Bizarro World?

No, its second cousin, the Fall Classic.

When the guy playing for the first time since the third game of the season isn’t the problem at the plate, you know you’re in trouble. Schwarber had a double Tuesday night, which was one hit more than Dexter Fowler, Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo had combined.

With the world watching, the Cubs forgot how to swing the bat in a 6-0 loss. It didn’t look like stage fright.

It looked like a hesitant team, which isn’t good news. Kluber will start Game 4, too. Better news: He can’t pitch every game.

The Schwarber development has been a stunner. The man-child who hit five home runs for the Cubs in last year’s postseason, the kid who was purportedly done for the year after blowing out his knee – that squatty, Ruthian figure had been penciled in as the Cubs’ No. 5 hitter after exactly two games in the Arizona Fall League.

Crazy.

Kluber pitched to 1 batter in the 7th HBP–by Lester (Guyer).

AP photo

The Cubs’ Kyle Schwarber hits a double during the fourth inning of Game 1 of the World Series against the Indians on Tuesday in Cleveland. The Cubs lost, 6-0.

The people who run the Cubs know a good story, and the only way this story could have been better is if Schwarber were coming back from a knee injury and an alien abduction. If only his teammates had helped Tuesday.

You know that dream where you can’t walk? The one where, try as you might, you can’t get your legs to work? This was kind of like that, only it had to do with Cubs hitters’ arms.

They wouldn’t move, which is why the bats sat on their shoulders so often Tuesday night. If it had been someone’s dream, it might have suggested feelings of being stuck in life.

This was real life, and it spoke of some combination of Indians pitcher Corey Kluber and batters who had no earthly idea how to deal with him.

By the time the night was over, Cubs hitters had struck out 15 times.

That’s no way for a team to reacquaint itself with the World Series after a 71-year absence.

Kluber kept throwing pitches, and Cubs hitters kept looking at them, especially on strike three. Of his first six

strikeouts, only one was a swinging K. “I’m not upset whatsoever,” Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. “They pitched really well.”

By the third inning, Kluber had eight strikeouts, the most by an Indians pitcher in World Series history.

World Series history. Let’s not skip over that phrase too quickly. It’s not a phrase that has been associated often with the Cubs.

Everything was the same Tuesday night. Ballpark, seats, people, national anthem, ball, bat. The same as every other game that has been played in Major League Baseball for decades.

But different in one profound way. It was the World Series, and it involved the Cubs.

Before the game, Cubs fans lined up behind the dugout along the first-base line, offering words of encouragement, and someone held up the ubiquitous “It’s Gonna Happen’’ poster. The fans were a splash of blue in a sea of Indians red. Or, more like it, a desert within a desert, two franchises parched as it relates to the World Series.

Umpires–Home, Larry Vanover; First, Chris Guccione; Second, John Hirschbeck; Third, Marvin Hudson.

T–3:37. A–38,091 (38,000).

It was late October weather, 50 degrees that felt like 47 with the wind.

Long-sleeve weather. Fall Classic weather. Another thing of which the Cubs and their fans aren’t familiar.

Schwarber doubled off the rightfield wall in the fourth inning. His power was still there. The running speed? Not quite. He looked like he was carrying 10-pound weights in his pockets.

There were a decent amount of Cubs fans among the sell-out crowd, and you could hear them distinctly in the seventh, when the Cubs loaded the bases on a single by Ben Zobrist against Kluber, and then a Schwarber walk and a Javy Baez single against uber reliever Andrew Miller.

But Miller got Willson Contreras to fly out and struck out Addison Russell and David Ross. Cue the sad trombone. But this should be music to Cubs fans’ ears: Wait till next game.

CLEVELAND – It took forever for the Cubs to play in the World Series?

Make that forever and a day.

Indians starter Corey Kluber saw to that by shutting down the Cubs in a World Series opener that was 71 years in the making, beating the Cubs, 6-0, Tuesday night at Progressive Field in Cleveland.

The Cubs managed only three hits against Kluber through the first six innings in support of their own postseason ace, Jon Lester.

And Indians manager Terry Francona confirmed after the game he pulled Kluber one batter into the seventh because he plans to bring the 2014 Cy Young Award winner back on short rest for Game 4 – putting him in position also for a possible Game 7.

Now what? Winners of Game 1 have won the past six World Series and 24 of the past 28.

“We got a long ways to go,” said Lester, who referenced a lot of the gloomand-doom chatter after the Cubs lost back-to-back shutouts to the Dodgers to fall behind, 2-1, in the National League Championship Series.

“Everybody counted us out after Game 3,” he said. “They said we were the worst best team in baseball. We’re here. We’re not giving up. I’m not too worried about what guys say or anything like that. I know my guys.”

After that Game 3 against the Dodgers, the Cubs scored 23 runs to sweep the next three games.

This one was more about Kluber – and two-inning bullpen ace Andrew Miller – than anything else.

“He was just pretty much as dominant as one could be right there,” Anthony Rizzo said of Kluber, whose eight strikeouts through three innings set a World Series record.

At least they had the celebrated return of Kyle Schwarber to help distract

AP photo

The Indians’ Roberto Perez celebrates as he rounds the bases past first baseman Anthony Rizzo after his home run against the Cubs in the eighth inning of Game 1 of the World Series on Tuesday in Cleveland. The Cubs lost, 6-0. from the sting on this chilly night in Cleveland.

And they won’t have to wait long to take their next shot at stealing homefield advantage because Wednesday’s Game 2 start time was moved up an hour to 6:08 p.m.

And they’ll have their own 2015 Cy Young winner, Jake Arrieta, on the mound looking for the equalizer before returning to Wrigley Field for Games 3, 4 and possibly 5.

“I think there’s a sour taste in our mouth tonight, because I think that we

put up a better fight than that,” shortstop Addison Russell said. “I went outside my approach and kind of pressed a little bit. But you turn the page. You stay hopeful and you get better tomorrow.”

Schwarber, who had four hitless atbats during the season before suffering a season-ending knee injury in the third game, returned to start Game 1 as the Cubs’ designated hitter, batting fifth.

He struck out on a 3-2 pitch in his first at-bat, but doubled off the right field wall against Kluber in the fourth and

walked against Miller in the seventh.

Schwarber is the first nonpitcher in history to produce a hit in the World Series after going hitless during the regular season.

The Cubs left the game optimistic over the fact they took Miller out of play for at least the next game by pushing his pitch count to a postseason high 46 in his two innings.

“That’s good for us, and guys getting to see him in the first game I think is always to the hitter’s advantage,” Rizzo said. “I don’t think anyone’s hanging their head.”

Lester blamed himself for the loss because of a two-run first inning that included two walks.

He had allowed two runs combined in three previous starts this postseason (21 innings).

“I’m not worried about the base hit,” Lester said. “I can live with hits. I can live with the homer. I can live with any other hit during the game. It’s the walks. The walks can’t happen. I’ve got to make those guys earn the two runs.”

The homer was a solo shot in the fourth by catcher Roberto Perez, the surprise hitting star who also delivered a three-run shot in the eighth off Hector Rondon. He’s the first player in World Series history to hit two home runs in a game batting in the ninth spot.

What to watch World Series: Cubs at Cleveland, 6 p.m., FOX In Game 2, it’s the Cubs’ Jake Arrieta (0-1, 4.91 ERA in postseason) facing the Indians’ Trevor Bauer (0-0, 5.06), whose bloody right pinkie forced him to leave Game 3 of the American League Championship Series after two-thirds of an inning.

HUNTLEY – Jacobs’ boys soccer team didn’t want a repeat of last season.

Tuesday was a rematch of last year’s sectional semifinal when the Golden Eagles faced McHenry at Huntley High School. Unlike last season, this time it is Jacobs that will advance to the sectional final at 6 p.m. Friday after the Golden Eagles defeated the Warriors, 2-1, in the second semifinal of the Class 3A Huntley Sectional.

Jacobs will face Guilford, which defeated Dundee-Crown, 1-0, in the first semifinal.

The Golden Eagles expected a defensive battle much like the match earlier in the season in which Jacobs defeated McHenry, 1-0, in Fox Valley Conference play. Jacobs scored the all-important first goal in what figured to be a low-scoring contest when Daniel Buirge put the Golden Eagles ahead with just over two minutes remaining in the first half.

McHenry finally got some offense going in the second half and evened the score after a goal by Zac Gorniak. Gorniak’s goal seemed to be the spark the Warriors needed.

“After we scored, the field seemed to tilt in our favor, and we had a lot of chances but just couldn’t get the job done,” McHenry coach Tony Caruso said. “This was a really good game.

Give them credit. They were able to get the job done.”

Jacobs went ahead for good on a goal

by Patrick Murphy, assisted by Noah Melick, with just over three minutes remaining.

“I talked with Noah after the game, and he said he wouldn’t have seen me if I didn’t call out for the ball,” Murphy said. “It felt good off my foot, and I was able to put it in the back of the net.”

On Friday, Jacobs will go for its second sectional soccer title.

“Give credit to McHenry. They play tough D and make you work for every ball,” Jacobs coach AJ Cappello said.

“Ethan [Pickering] made some great saves and has played well for us all season, and we were able to get that late goal and hang on for the win.”

In Tuesday’s first semifinal, Guilford scored just under seven minutes

Minutes into the game when Fenton scored its first of three first-half goals

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

A couple of minutes into the second half, a Fenton player came over to the sideline holding a cellphone he had found on the field. Apparently, someone from the Fenton bench had dropped it during halftime.

Sebastian Palacios got behind the Hampshire defense to make it 3-0 in the 33rd minute.

“Some costly mistakes, they had two shots, two goals,” Hampshire coach John Gosling said. “You can’t fault them, they did what they needed to do.

Later in the second half we had a couple chances. Just didn’t fall for us.”

Gosling thought Fenton did better with the slick turf on a rainy night and controlled the ball better on a narrow field. Hampshire was able to settle into the game and hold some possession, but the Whip-Purs never truly got their attack going.

“One of the things we do well, at least in my opinion, is we do possess it well,”

Scoreboard Tuesday’s semifinals Benet Academy 4, Sterling 2 Fenton 3, Hampshire 0 Saturday’s championship Benet Academy vs. Fenton, 7 p.m.

Gosling said. “We just didn’t connect the passes that we should have connected in the offensive third. On a bigger field, on a grass field, we’re used to playing a little bit of a through ball and that’s obviously not going to work on a wet turf surface.”

Hampshire flung everything it could forward as the second half dragged on without a goal. Doug Stuehler shot just over the bar in the 53rd minute, Tyler Fairwood forced a couple of saves in the 74th minute, and two minutes later Braeden Frenette sent a shot wide.

“We were in this position once or twice before, and we’re a team that will just continue to fight,” Gosling said. “We get one – that free kick we took early, he puts that in – that gives us some more life. A couple of our shots skip off the turf, maybe the keeper bobbles it like he did, maybe we get to it, just didn’t fall.”

In the end, each Hampshire threat fizzled out and the three-goal deficit proved too much.

Hampshire goalkeeper Jason Polletta finished with three saves, while Fenton’s Abel Carrerea was forced to make five, four of them in the second half.

“Senior-heavy (team), you never want it to end for them,” Gosling said of the 13 Whip-Purs seniors. “It does end some time.”

BURLINGTON – The Kaneland volleyball team showed there’s a reason it’s the top seed in the Class 3A Burlington Regional.

The Knights were efficient all night and dominated No. 7 Marengo for a win in straight sets, cruising 259, 25-10, in the regional semifinal on Tuesday night. “(We) just had to stay up in a game like this. You have to stay with your speed of the game, and it’s hard to do that when you’re playing a team that doesn’t have that speed of the game,” Kaneland coach Cyndi Violett said.

The Knights (31-4) only trailed once the entire night – when the Indians (920) earned the first point of the second set. Kaneland finished with only six attacking errors – three in each set. “(Kaneland) is very fast,” Marengo coach Meg Dobbertin said. “The run a very quick offense. Being able to make quick transitions is what makes them so difficult. ... Between (the Indians’ win over Harvard in the first round of the regional) and tonight, we improved more than 100 percent. The girls are very young. A lot of them haven’t seen the regional floor until our play-in game. They stuck together as a group the entire season.”

Marengo was only trailing 8-6 in the second set after an ace by Riley Connell, but Kaneland responded with an 8-0 run and later added a 7-2 run that featured three blocks by Cameron Wyant, including one that ended the match.

The Knights look to take the regional crown when they face No. 5 seed Sycamore, which beat Burlington Central in straight sets.

WHEATON – The first goal seemed to come from nowhere, in the early moments when the two teams were still feeling each other out.

Only three minutes into Tuesday’s Class 2A St. Francis Sectional semifinal, Fenton’s Angel Barriga chased down a long ball to the left end line. He kept it in play, took a touch toward the Hampshire goal and crossed the ball across the face of the goal where Patryk Bryk met it to give Fenton a 1-0 lead over the WhipPurs.

Fenton scored three times in the first 33 minutes and went on to beat Hampshire, 3-0, Tuesday in a sectional semifinal at St. Francis. The Bison (9-10-3) advance to face Benet Academy in the sectional final at 7 p.m. Saturday.

“They were playing high line, and when you play a high line you leave the spaces behind, so that’s what we were trying to do, attack that space behind,” Fenton coach Jim Johns said. “I knew they were a scrappy team. ... I just said that we had to attack them on the flanks and try to turn their defense and that’s what we did.”

Bryk scored his second of the game in the 22nd minute. The play again came from Fenton beating Hampshire on the flank, this time punctuated by a nice turn and finish from Bryk.

6 GIRLS VOLLEYBALL: CLASS 4A CRYSTAL LAKE SOUTH REGIONAL

CL South, PR to play for crown

Gators knock off Belvidere North; Wolves rally to defeat Hampshire

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Crystal Lake South eagerly awaits its fourth match against Prairie Ridge, despite not having a great deal of success in the first three.

“We’ve been getting better each time we play them,” Gators volleyball coach Jorie Fontana said. “The second time in (the Fox Valley) conference was the best time.”

No. 11-seeded South held off No. 6 Belvidere North, 25-21, 25-22, in its firstround game at the Class 4A Crystal Lake South Regional on Tuesday at Gator Alley, earning another rematch with the Wolves in Thursday’s 6 p.m. championship.

No. 3 Prairie Ridge defeated No. 13 Hampshire, 24-26, 25-11, 25-5, in the first semifinal Tuesday. Prairie Ridge did not lose any of six sets to the Gators in its previous matches.

“The [last meeting] was better,” Fontana said. “We were more sure of our personality and the type of volleyball we play best in.”

South (13-17) let an early six-point lead slip away against North in the second set, but never trailed the Blue Thunder by more than a point. Hannah Koenig put down a hard kill for a 23-22 lead, and the Gators finished with the last two points.

“We did a good job keeping our composure even when it got tight or close,” said Gators outside hitter Jordan Proszenyak, who had nine kills and 17 digs.

“We just knew we needed to get a sideout right away, put the ball down, try to get it back on our side as much as possible.”

Nicole Slimko had 24 assists and Aurora Nero and Hannah Koenig each had seven kills.

“We’re definitely prepared (for Prairie Ridge),” Proszenyak said. “We’re ready to come out and fight. It’ll be a good one.”

Prairie Ridge (19-13) experienced a few anxious moments against Hampshire (9-20) after dropping the first set.

Whip-Purs coach Lauren Jensen felt her team came out with nothing to lose.

“They wanted it. They knew it was possibly our last match together, and they wanted to do it for the seniors,” Jensen said. “We were fired up. We wanted to get them out of their system in the front row, and it worked for the first set.”

Wolves coach Stefanie Otto appreciated the way her team responded after that.

“We weren’t making many mistakes, having more energy, staying aggressive,” Otto said. “I thought we played timid in that first set and had a lot of unforced errors. Knowing my team, I was hopeful that they would be like they always do and come and play aggressive.

You never know in the postseason how kids will react, so there was a smidge of ‘I wonder what they’re going to bring.’ ” The second set was tied at 2 when Emily Baudin served for four straight winning points, then Mackenzie Garis served for five winners and the Wolves had a 15-4 lead.

“I was a little nervous, but I knew we’d go back at it and come back strong,” middle blocker Allie Cole said. “I felt better and more comfortable and everybody was in the sequence we play in.”

Emily Baudin led Prairie Ridge with eight kills, and Genesis Sheridan added six kills. Jayden Otto had 20 assists and Garis had 12 digs.

“Serve-receive broke down there in Game 1, and we couldn’t quite regroup,” D-C coach Christine Hopkins-Muehl said. “We didn’t stay aggressive, and we just started to crumble.”

The Warriors will look to do something they haven’t done since 1997: win a regional title.

“It’s going to take a lot of aggression,” Pauly said. “They (Huntley) get every ball up. We’ll just have to play smart, play our game and stay aggressive.”

Huntley 2, Harlem 0: Before every match this year, Huntley players and coaches reminded each other to “Own the season.” For the postseason, the Red

Raiders changed up their quote to “This is our time.”

Huntley most certainly owned the regular season, clinching the program’s first Fox Valley Conference championship last week.

On Tuesday, the Raiders took their first steps to what they hope is a long and successful playoff run, sweeping Harlem, 25-15, 25-19. The No. 18-seeded Huskies, however, didn’t make it easy on Huntley, hanging with the sectional’s top seed for most of the match.

Tied at 12 in the first set, Huntley responded by scoring 13 of the last 16 points in the set. In the second, senior outside hitter Ally Dion shined with 11 of her match-leading 14 kills.

“I don’t think we ever really started playing our game, but we played a little more aggressive than we did in the first game,” said Dion, who added 18 digs on defense. “We got our points when we needed them.”

Freshman setter Taylor Jakubowski dished out 26 assists, sophomore Julia Johnson had seven kills, Aleah Amelio had 12 digs, and Caitlin Thorelius added three kills. On Thursday, Huntley goes for its third regional title in four years.

“We’re just going to have to focus a little more, and just practice a lot harder tomorrow,” Jakubowski said.

“Our serving, we came out really aggressive and did really well hitting spots,” LeBlanc said. “Overall defense, we played really well, communication on the court was really good.”

Kelly said she thought the Tigers kept the game at their pace.

“We know that we can play a very fast game,” she said. “If we speed the ball up on our side of court, it tends to kill our opponent off. With all the experience we had, our biggest thing was to try to keep our side of the court fast.”

Jacobs, the No. 17 seed, had trouble handling Kelly’s attacks. Central’s Madelyn Blake also had eight kills and Camryn Hausler added six.

MACHESNEY PARK – Twice, the Dundee-Crown girls volleyball team put itself in position to win the opening set of Tuesday’s Class 4A Harlem Regional semifinal against McHenry.

And, twice, the winning point never came.

Instead, it was the Warriors who spoiled the Chargers’ first-set bid by tying the score at 24 and 25. McHenry middle blocker Karly Gewalt then rose up with one of her three blocks, and D-C sailed a shot long as the Warriors won the set.

The eighth-seeded Warriors built a lead as big as 12 in the second set and cruised to a 27-25, 25-15 sweep over the ninth-seeded Chargers. McHenry will meet top-seeded Huntley, which swept Harlem in the first semifinal, in the regional final at 6 p.m. Thursday.

12 GIRLS VOLLEYBALL: CLASS 3A VERNON HILLS REGIONAL

Marian powers into regional final Vernon Hills tips Johnsburg in 3

By MATTHEW PARAS sports@nwherald.com

VERNON HILLS – Even defending state champions can get a little nervous.

Marian Central girls volleyball coach Laura Watling said there’s always a feeling of anxiousness as the postseason starts.

But for a team that is now 35-1 this season, Marian shook off any jitters it had early and advanced with a commanding win over Chicago Alcott in the Class 3A Vernon Hills Regional semifinals. The Hurricanes swept Alcott, 25-6, 25-11.

Marian advances to the regional final at 6:30 p.m. Thursday against Vernon Hills. Vernon Hills beat Johnsburg in three sets, 19-25, 25-22, 25-19.

“We just wanted to get that anxiousness out,” Watling said. “It was good to see that the girls could still push through even when it felt sloppy.”

“It’s the first game (of the playoffs), but we’ve had a long season before this,” said Noonan, who had four kills. “We were just all really excited to start everything.”

The win was another dominant performance for the Hurricanes, and it’s in part because of the sustained success they’ve built. In addition to winning last year’s Class 3A state title, the Hurricanes have won 43 of their past 44 matches.

And they’ve done it with largely the same core, only losing three starters from last season. Each of Marian’s 10 seniors has had a large role in the past, including Noonan.

“We work hard in practice and come out really focused in games,” Noonan said. “We don’t mess around. … Last year, we had the same mindset – we can’t

assume that we’re going to win anything. We just have to focus one game at a time.”

Johnsburg, on the other hand, went about its season getting used to new players and a younger team. The Skyhawks had only one returning varsity player who saw significant time last season. This year, Johnsburg finished 15-19, and Tuesday’s loss echoed a similar pattern from other matches.

“We have an emotional letdown usually when we get behind,” Johnsburg coach Jackie Barnette said. “And then we have a hard time climbing through.

We are still very young, so I put some of that on how young we are.

“But we have gone through this the whole season.”

Vernon Hills stormed back after losing the first set to take a 7-2 lead in the second. Johnsburg never held a lead in the set. In the third set, Johnsburg opened with a 3-0 lead, but after a closely contested game, Vernon Hills started to pull away late.

Marian, meanwhile, will look to continue its path to another state title.

“We can’t be looking towards any certain games,” Noonan said. “We have to focus on one game and play our best like it’s our last.”

GIRLS VOLLEYBALL: CLASS 4A LARKIN REGIONAL

Larkin puts up fight, but C-G advances

Trojans to take on DeKalb for crown

By CHRIS KWIECINSKI sports@nwherald.com

ELGIN – Cary-Grove senior middle blocker Rebecca Elrod has been playing volleyball only since her sophomore year. However, Tuesday night against Larkin proved she’s a quick learner.

Elrod led the stout No. 4-seeded Trojans’ offensive front to a 25-19, 2521 win over Larkin in the semifinals of the Class 4A Larkin Regional. C-G will face No. 5-seeded DeKalb at 6 p.m.

However, if Elrod was the night’s rock star, then she had some spectacular backup singers. Fellow senior Madison Katchen complemented Elrod’s 10-kill performance with an eight-kill performance of her own.

“Larkin was definitely ready to play tonight. We just kept our offense going,” Langanis said. “Elgin Larkin was playing some big defense, and it caught us off guard for a while. I thought [Elrod] really helped save the day in the middle.”

Although the Trojans charged to 1910 and 22-16 leads in the first and sec-

ond sets, respectively, Larkin fought back. In the first set, Larkin charged back to force a C-G timeout after closing to within four points at 21-17. That surge ended when the front line of the Trojans, led by Elrod and Katchen, helped stave off Larkin with a mixture of blocks and kills.

Langanis noted a big reason the offense clicked was because of the connection between Elrod and her setter. “[Elrod] and Amber (Olson) are connecting better,” Langanis said. “To see them playing in the postseason like this is very nice because we need [them].”

Langanis, while praising her team’s play, noted she wants her players to understand each other mentally as the later rounds of the state playoffs approach.

“I think we all need to be on the same page,” she said. “Girls have to get their heads stronger because its postseason time and only the tough survive. We’ve got to work on the head part first, and I think our play will be fine.”

Woodstock North looked as if it would match that energy early on, jumping out to a 4-3 lead in the first set.

But R-B’s Abby Svenson served seven straight points, and the Rockets never looked back. With R-B up 22-10, out-

side hitter Addie Halverson had three straight ferocious kills to put away the first set.

In the second set, already up 14-4 and clearly rolling, R-B’s Danni Kneller served nine straight winners to seal the match.

Halverson had 12 kills and setter Bailey Dean spread the wealth with 16 assists.

“Those are our two team captains and they led the team today,” Hencier said. “We knew we had to come out and play strong, play our best, and I think we really did that tonight. Lots of girls contributed. It was a really great overall team win.”

Also for R-B, Kaitlyn Surh added four kills, Svenson had 12 digs and Kayla Malec had five blocks.

“It gave us a lot of confidence having come in and beating them twice, but we know it takes a lot to beat a team three

times,” said middle blocker Malec, who was a force at the net. “We came out and played better than we ever had against them, and that gives us confidence going into the finals here. We have a lot of camaraderie, and we all love each other.”

Woodstock North was led by Sami Long’s eight digs, Madisyn Selof’s six assists, Matty Bush’s five digs and Allison Spitson’s three kills.

“It was tough, but the girls didn’t give up. They had a good year,” Woodstock North coach Greg Bruns said. “It’s a new conference, it’s a tough conference. It’s very competitive. We’d like to do better, but we’ll get there. We feel good about going forward.”

“Our No. 1 goal since the beginning of the season has been to win the regional,” said Hencier. “We know we have to come out and not give away many points and play really consistent volleyball.”

14 BEARS

Cutler: No tension between me, Fox Comments by coach about job status no big deal

By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@profootballweekly.com LAKE FOREST – No one understands his situation with the Bears better than Jay Cutler himself.

That might be obvious, but it’s worth the reminder when we in the news media can pontificate about his future, and his own head coach can make the starting quarterback position foggy, but Cutler knows what’s going John Fox on.

Back from a thumb injury that kept him out the past five games, Cutler addressed the media Tuesday, opening with a smirk and a, “Missed you guys,” which he clarified was a joke.

Like we saw in 2013 when Josh McCown played well in his absence, or in 2014 when his offensive coordinator threw him under the bus and his head coach benched him, Cutler was matter-of-fact. He even used a famous Bill Belichick line to describe his reaction to coach John Fox making it seem like Hoyer could keep the job even when

H. Rick Bamman file photo – hbamman@shawmedia.com

Bears quarterback Jay Cutler walks on the sideline during the first quarter against the Lions on Oct. 2 at Soldier Field. Cutler has been cleared to play after missing five games because of a thumb injury.

Cutler was healthy.

“It is what it is,” Cutler said. “Anytime you have a backup quarterback – and to Brian’s credit, he played well. I think as a team, we wish we would have won some more of those ballgames. But Brian went in there and did a great job.

My discussions with everybody that I have relationships with in here were positive, and whenever I was ready to

go, I’d be ready to go. There was never any discussion regarding that with me.”

Cutler didn’t give the cliché answer to a question about having the support of Fox. “He doesn’t have a choice, I guess, at this point,” Cutler said. “Brian is out, so I’ve got to go. I’ve had good conversations with Foxy this week, last week, the week before. There’s never been any

strain in our relationship. We’re both very open and honest, and we’re on the same page. We just want to win football games.”

The 11-year veteran did, however, echo what Fox said about the timeline vis-a-vis any quarterback controversy.

“I didn’t really get into it. I didn’t want to. It didn’t concern me,” Cutler said. “I wasn’t ready to play. My thumb wasn’t healed. The doctors weren’t going to let me go. The training staff wasn’t going to let me go. It didn’t really bother me at that point.”

Cutler’s return Monday night against the Minnesota Vikings will come on national TV against the league’s best defense, and with 2017 and beyond unknown for the franchise’s longest-tenured player.

“I think those are conversations for the end of the year,” he said. “Right now I’m working with Dowell [Loggains] and [QB coach Dave Ragone] and we’re just trying to find first downs and get our third-down conversion rate back up, score more points. That’s all we’re really trying to do and that’s all my focus is.

“Whatever happens at the end of the year, it’s supposed to happen, and we’ll go accordingly. But right now it’s not something that I worry about. It’s my 11th year, my eighth year here. I’ve seen a lot of ups and downs, and it’s how it goes. At the end of the year, we can have those conversations. Whatever happens, happens.”

Inside Boys Soccer ATHLETE OF THE WEEK NOAH MELICK Jacobs, jr., F Melick scored five goals in two games the past week, helping the Golden Eagles capture their second consecutive regional title. Melick scored once in the regional semifinal win over Cary-Grove and then came through with four in the regional final rout of Elgin.

NOTEWORTHY Turning it on: Dundee-Crown’s Julian Ajroja also had a strong case for Athlete of the Week, netting four goals and an assist in two games as he helped the Chargers to a historic first regional title.

Ajroja didn’t have many scoring chances in the Class 3A Streamwood Regional final against Larkin, but the junior forward was

Proud Sponsor of Athlete of the Week able to make the most of them, scoring both of his teams’s goals in a 2-0 victory.

The Chargers (13-8-1) never had won a regional title before Saturday.

“He’s just turned it on the last two games,” D-C coach Rey Vargas said. “He kind of slowed down in the middle of the season. But he sparked it for us today, that’s for sure. His ability to attract players and open up spots is just amazing. He’s been able to carry us goal-wise, and that’s what we expect from him.

“The easiness at which he carries himself. He gets a ball, drops it, and gets it

right back as the guys are looking for him to open up. We found their gaps, and he was able to squeeze in between and get his shots off.”

Dougie on the spot: After Hampshire’s Doug Stuehler deflected a goalkeeper’s kick back into the goal for an overtime game-winner in the regional semifinals, coach John Gosling said, “Kudos to Doug for being Johnny on the spot, lucky break.”

The goal was crucial because it kept the Whip-Purs alive in the regional, which they went on to win, but it was extra sweet for Stuehler because of the season he has had.

“Last year I had 11 goals on the season.

This year I had three or four,” Stuehler said. “I mean, this would be my fourth or fifth goal, and it just felt good to finally put one in, especially one that’s so meaningful to the team.”

Record-setting Streaks: Woodstock’s season came to an end Saturday with a 2-1 loss to Boylan in the final of the Class

2A Rockford Keith Country Day Regional, but even without the regional title, it was a landmark season for the Blue Streaks.

Finishing at 17-7-1, the team set a program record for most wins in a season.

The Blue Streaks’ offense also set a program record by scoring 103 goals on the season.

With the defense allowing only 30 goals (and keeping 12 shutouts), the Blue Streaks finished the season with an impressive plus-73 goal differential.

THIS WEEK’S TOP MATCH Class 3A Huntley Sectional final 6 p.m. Friday at Huntley Guilford and Jacobs will meet Friday night with a sectional title on the line. Jacobs, which defeated McHenry, 2-1, in a sectional semifinal Tuesday, last won a sectional title in 2000.

ON THE COVER

Onion Rye Crackers; Sesame Oat Crackers; and Togarashi Wheat Crackers Photo by Goran Kosanovic for The Washington Post

How many times have you heard the phrases “eat the rainbow” or “avoid white at night?” Although certain white foods – namely white flour and refined sugar – don’t do our health any favors, and white rice lacks the fiber and many of the nutrients found in brown rice and other whole grains, not all white, beige or otherwise pale foods are devoid of nutrition.

Unfortunately, while the Dietary Guidelines for Americans specifically encourage us to eat dark green, red and orange vegetables, their less-colorful cousins are relegated to the “other vegetables” category. It’s true health-promoting phytonutrients – compounds produced by plants that have a wide range of health benefits – often are bound to color pigments in foods, but pale vegetables offer a wealth of nutrients and phytonutrients, too.

The term “superfood” gets thrown around lightly these days, but there are three pale vegetables in particular that arguably qualify for this status.

Cauliflower: The low-carb darling

Cauliflower is a member of the brassica family of vegetables, also known as cruciferous vegetables. Cruciferous vegetables have been used as both food and medicine

since ancient times, in part because of their antibacterial and antifungal properties. In modern times, the American Institute for Cancer Research, among other groups, has recognized the anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties of cauliflower and other cruciferous vegetables, including them on its list of “Foods That Fight Cancer.”

Cauliflower recently has become trendy as a lower-calorie, lower-carbohydrate culinary swap for less-nutritious white foods – white flour, rice and potatoes.

When mashed, pushed through a ricer or turned into pizza crust, cauliflower has a somewhat similar texture to the starchier foods it’s replacing (not that it actually will fool you).

Alliums: It’s OK if they make you cry

If you love garlic and onions, it’s probably because of how they flavor your food.

But do you think of them as vegetables?

Not only are garlic, onions and other members of the allium family – leeks, shallots, scallions and chives – vegetables, they are nutrient powerhouses. Alliums contain organosulfur compounds, phytonutrients that may help protect us against microbial infections, cardiovascular disease and chronic inflammation. In animal studies, components in allium vegetables have been shown to slow the development of

several types of cancer.

Raw onions have too much bite? Soaking sliced raw onions in ice water for 10 to 15 minutes mellows them out enough to make them more appealing in salads or sandwiches. Roasting whole garlic cloves or chunks of onion brings out their natural sweetness, as does sautéing sliced onions slowly over low heat to caramelize them.

Mushrooms: Not magic, but close

There are more than 2,000 varieties of edible mushrooms, and the humble white button mushroom is the most consumed mushroom in the world. Not so humble is research suggesting mushrooms’ nutritional profile may enhance our immune system, reduce inflammation and even help prevent cancer.

In addition to beta-glucan, a type of fiber that appears to promote healthy blood sugar and blood cholesterol as well as a healthy immune system, mushrooms contain ergothioneine, an amino acid our bodies don’t make and that we can get from only a few foods. Ergothioneine is an antioxidant that appears to protect our cells from damage by unhealthy free radicals.

One popular use for mushrooms is as a substitute or partial replacement for meat.

This reduces calories while adding fiber, nutrition and flavor.

Easy homemade crackers punch up party platters from Halloween to New Year’s

By CATHY BARROW The Washington Post

We’re heading into the days and weeks and weekends of celebrations between now and next year. Whether we gather with fellow fans to watch football, visit around fire pits with out-of-towners or invite the new neighbors to share a pot of chili, a sure-toplease contribution for any get-together is cheese and crackers.

Not just any crackers. When they’re homemade, you can custom-

ize their flavors, toppings and glazes.

And if your cupboard happens to be a repository for assorted bags of interesting flours, such as oat and rye, your cracker game will be strong.

A simple dough – a flexible ratio of flour, fat and liquid with numerous flavorful possibilities – and an equally direct process – just roll, cut and bake – make the accompanying recipes a breeze. Keep the dough in the refrigerator for up to three days, or, for a long-range plan, stash a dozen dough combinations in the freezer for the

Prep your party platter With a basket of your crackers in hand, you need only follow these cheese rules: • Shop for the cheese a day before, or as early as possible the day of, the party. Or try our Herbed Yogurt Cheese recipe on Page 4.

• Leave the cheese unwrapped on the platter to come to room temperature.

Onion Rye Crackers 18 to 36 crackers

2/3 cup (3 ounces) all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting 1/3 cup (1½ ounces) rye flour 3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed 1 tablespoon freeze-dried onion flakes 1 teaspoon caraway seed Heaping 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1 tablespoon soy sauce

es, and soft, ripened, sharp, sliceable, crumbly and tangy options.

There are treasures to be found in the grocery store cheese department.

And, frankly, that’s when those homemade crackers come in handiest.

Sesame Oat Crackers 18 to 36 crackers

2/3 cup (3 ounces) all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting 1/3 cup (1½ ounces) oat flour 3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed Heaping 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/3 cup plain yogurt 1/4 cup white sesame seeds

Combine the flours and cold butter in a food processor; pulse until crumbly. (Alternatively, use a pastry cutter or two knives to cut the butter into the flour.) Stir in the onion flakes, caraway seed, baking powder and salt.

Generously flour a work surface. Turn the dough out there and knead for about 5 minutes, until smooth. Gather it into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight. (You’ll be using the floured work space again to roll out the dough.)

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unwrap the dough and let it sit at room temperature for no more than 10 minutes (when pressed with a finger, the dough should hold the indent); re-flour the work space as needed.

Roll out the dough into a rectangle that’s slightly larger than 9 by 18 inches, then trim to straighten the edges as needed.

Use a sharp knife, a cookie cutter or a fluted wheel to cut out the crackers as you like (18 to 36 pieces total). Pierce the dough with the tines of a fork. Transfer to the baking sheet, spacing the pieces of dough 1/2 inch apart. (They will not spread.) The scraps may be re-rolled two times.

Refrigerate for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Brush each cracker with some of the soy sauce.

Bake (lower rack) for 20 minutes or until golden and crisp, rotating the pan front to back halfway through.

Transfer the crackers to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.

Fresh herbs make versatile yogurt cheese

By SARA MOULTON The Associated Press

This recipe for Fresh Herbed Yogurt Cheese is just the ticket when you’re looking to put a dent in the stockpile of herbs overflowing in your garden or taking up too much space in your refrigerator.

It’s a fresh cheese based on Greek yogurt, and it’s very flexible regarding its herbal flavorings.

I’ve chosen some of my favorites, including chives, parsley, thyme and tarragon.

But if you have other herbs at hand – basil, cilantro, mint, oregano – go right ahead and swap them in for my mix.

Whichever herbs you use, be sure to chop them with a supersharp knife, and do so briefly and efficiently.

Whacking away at herbs endlessly with a dull knife guarantees that you’ll end up with a wet, gray mess.

Making this cheese is simple, but you need to plan ahead because the yogurt takes 48 hours to drain. And although you’re welcome to dig into it right after you’ve added the herbs, it tastes much better if you let it chill overnight. Plus, it’s easier then to shape the cheese into a log or a round.

As an appetizer, this spread is delicious served on toasted French bread rounds or your favorite crackers. It’s also great in place of mustard or mayonnaise on a summer sandwich of sliced turkey, smoked salmon, or roast beef – or on veggie sandwiches starring cucumbers or

I love baking, but until I was 16, our oven was just used as a place to keep big cutting boards and exiled frying pans.

My Indian parents were of a place and time where no one had ovens at home. All breads were flatbreads, like chapattis, which were hand-rolled and cooked on the stove, and all cakes, if any, were either baked with the help of the village bakery or bought.

Even now, ovens are rare across the whole of India because there’s never been much of a culture around baking, so baked goods are precious treats and baker’s skills are revered. Having not grown up with baking, the first cake I made felt like real magic. Creating a goo out of eggs, butter, sugar and flour and watching it rise into something magnificent was very special to me and the total opposite to the way we cooked Indian food, by tasting, balancing and adjusting along the way.

Over time, classics became mingled with Indian spices and ingredients such as cardamom, cinnamon and dates – as in this cake.

The dates add a lot of moisture, density and a caramel flavor to the sponge and the spices add sweetness and exoticism. Strictly speaking, the icing is unnecessary – a dusting of icing sugar would do – but the coffee butter icing gives it a special celebratory feel, which is, partly what baking is really all about.

Now’s the time to start holiday fruitcakes

By KRISTEN HARTKE The Washington Post

Right now, 30 pounds of dried fruit are soaking in Yadira Stamp’s kitchen. In liquor. In fact, it has been soaking for two years, waiting until it makes its way into some of the 130 fruitcakes the Panama native will bake this Christmas.

“I take two days off and make all of them at once,” she said. “From morning until night, that’s all I’ll do.”

The owner of Esencias Panamenas restaurant in D.C., Stamp grew up eating her mother’s fruitcake. Miss Dolly, as her mother was known, made dozens of cakes for friends and neighbors each year until her death in 1990.

Among Panamanian expats in the Washington area, that fruitcake is a taste of home during the holiday season, often served alongside a slice of ham for a salty-sweet combination of flavors. Here in the United States, however, fruitcake generally is the butt of seasonal jokes about its density and unpopularity.

This much is true: Fruitcake is almost comically heavy – all that dried fruit bound by a soupçon of cake batter, redolent with spices, brandy and rum. But if you forget it’s a fruitcake, it just smells like Christmas.

Because fruitcake becomes more flavorful with age, fall is the time to start making it. In Stamp’s Panamanian version, the fruit needs to soak first for at least 30 days in a combination of brandy, dark rum and port, although she also has developed a quick method for infusing the flavor into the fruit.

Then she bakes the cakes just after Panama’s Mother’s Day on Dec. 8, so they’re ready to deliver to customers by mid-month.

Although celebrated Southern food expert Nathalie Dupree famously declared her dislike of fruitcake many years ago, she included a recipe for Georgia Fruitcake – attributed to chef Anne Sterling – in her classic 1986 cookbook “New Southern Cooking.”

It is packed with dried peaches and pecans, then moistened with peach nectar and brandy, creating a heady, peach-laden loaf that’s golden and inviting, without a dyed green candied cherry in sight.

Panama Fruitcake Photo by Deb Lindsey for The Washington Post

Whatever the method, the result for all the accompanying fruitcake recipes is moist, rich and just a little bit buzzy. “I’m not a big cake eater,” says Stamp, “but this is the one cake that I’ll keep eating, going back for another sliver, until I have to get somebody to hide it from me so I won’t eat the whole thing by myself.”

Panama Fruitcake 16 servings

1 cup flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/3 teaspoon baking soda 2/3 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice 1/8 teaspoon salt 2½ tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature 2 tablespoons vegetable shortening 3/4 cup sugar 2 large eggs 2 tablespoons water 3/4 teaspoon liquid burnt sugar 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 3 cups prepared fruits (see note) 1/2 cup mincemeat (with brandy) 2 tablespoons rum, or more for long-term storage 2 tablespoons brandy, or more for longterm storage

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly grease the pan with baker’s spray, then line the bottom with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.

Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and salt onto a sheet of parchment or wax paper.

Combine the butter, shortening and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer; beat on medium speed for several minutes, until light and fluffy. Stop to scrape down the bowl.

Whisk the eggs in a separate bowl until evenly combined, adding the water gradually until well incorporated. Whisk in the liquid burnt sugar and vanilla extract.

Add the egg mixture to the butter-sugar mixture in the mixer bowl, then fold in the prepared fruits and their liquid, plus the mincemeat; this may be best to do by hand, because the mixture can be heavy and could potentially burn out the mixer motor. Add the flour mixture a quarter-cup at a time, combining thoroughly. A spoon should be able to stand up in the middle of the batter.

Spoon the batter into the cake pan and smooth the surface. Bake (middle rack) for 1 hour and 15 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean; if that does not happen, reduce the temperature to 300 degrees and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Let the cake cool in its pan for 1 hour.

Use a toothpick or wooden skewer to poke several holes in the top of the cake, then mix

the rum and brandy together and pour on top of the cake.

Remove the cake from the pan; if not serving right away, wrap the cake tightly in aluminum foil or plastic wrap and store at room temperature for up to 1 week, brushing the top of the cake with 2 teaspoons of rum or brandy once each week. The cake can be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place; brushing the top of the cake with 2 teaspoons of brandy or rum once a week, to help keep it moist, for up to 6 weeks.

Note: To make the prepared fruits, combine 1¼ cups finely chopped Paradise Extra Fancy Fruit Cake Mix (candied fruits), 1¼ cups raisins, 1/2 cup currants, 1/4 cup rum, 2 tablespoons brandy and 2 tablespoons port in an airtight container. Let the fruits soak for at least 30 days. If unable to soak for a long period, place all ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and cook for 15 minutes.

Let cool to room temperature. This quickcook mixture can be placed in an airtight container and stored in a cool, dark place for several weeks, until ready to use.

Add the pecans and 1/2 cup of the flour to the fruit mixture and toss to coat evenly. Sift the remaining 1½ cups flour together with the baking powder, salt, cinnamon, allspice and ginger onto a sheet of parchment or wax paper.

Combine the butter and brown sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer or handheld electric mixer; beat on medium speed for several minutes, until light and fluffy.

Stop to scrape down the bowl. On low speed, add the eggs one at a time, beating to incorporate after each addition. Stop to scrape down the bowl. Add the honey, cream, peach nectar and the flour-baking powder mixture; beat on low speed until well incorporated.

EVE'S CLEANING ✦ RESIDENTIAL Works Independently, Exc Ref. 630-430-1523

HANDYMAN

Winston Churchill said, “However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results.”

Strangely, in bridge, sometimes the strategy is chosen first and in one way the concern for tricks is secondary. In Chicago or a team tournament, making the contract is all that matters. But in a duplicate pair event, overtricks are usually valuable.

If the room is winning only 10 tricks in four spades and you can collect 11, you get a top. If the odds are in your favor, you should try for the extra winner.

The difference is highlighted by this deal. How should South tackle four hearts in teams and in pairs? The defenders start with three rounds of diamonds.

The auction was straightforward.

Note that South should have at least five hearts for his jump to game because North might have raised with only three-card support and a singleton spade.

When South’s only concern is making the contract, he can afford one trump loser, but not two. Then the correct play is to cash the ace first. If nothing good happens, declarer crosses to the board and leads toward his queen. He will succeed whenever it is possible.

However, if an overtrick is desired, South should take the heart finesse.

A priori, East will have a doubleton king some 20 percent of the time, and the chance that West will hold a singleton king (when finessing costs the contract) is only 6.25 percent. But if declarer’s queen does lose to the singleton king, and he goes down one, it helps to be sitting opposite a sympathetic partner, not a result merchant.
