Good morning, McHenry County ...

See ya, Halloween; now it’s Christmas season I’ll admit to not being the biggest fan of Halloween.

I don’t mind the trick-or-treating. I’m just not into dressing up in a costume for parties, at work or even to take the kids door to door.

I guess that’s just the stodgy, old editor in me.

When my children were younger and they would ask what I was going to dress up as for Halloween, that’s what my wife would tell them: an editor.

OK, so now that the kids have had their fun and Halloween is behind us, we all know what that means, right?

It’s pretty much already Christmas season.

What about Thanksgiving? Well, that’s become all about the Christmas shopping deals, hasn’t it?

Pretty soon the stores will have their Christmas decorations out. Christmas trees will be

SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio police said an uninvited guest dressed as fictional serial killer Freddy Krueger shot five people at a Halloween party.

Sgt. Jesse Salame said the partygoers who were wounded in the shooting early Sunday were all treated and released from hospitals. Salame said the suspect remains at large Monday.

Police said the shooting happened after two men who were not invited showed up to the costume party. Authorities believe the man in the Krueger costume got into an argument with others and began shooting.

Both men fled.

Investigators are trying to determine what prompted the fight.

Salame said police believe alcohol played a role in the incident.

Crystal Lake resident among crowd at Cubs’ Game 5 win

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Paulette Gray was among a sea of blue Sunday evening as the W flag was raised atop Wrigley Field for the first time in the World Series since 1945.

The Crystal Lake resident, alongside her brother, John Borys, took a chance when they bought their bleacher seats a week or so before the game, unsure of what the outcome would be with their team just one game away from elimination.

“I was hesitant because of the prices, and I just said, ‘I gotta do it.’ I don’t know if it will come around again next year,” Gray said. “So we bit the bullet, and we went.”

At times, Gray said, the crowd was “eerily quiet,” but as Cubs closer Aroldis Chapman struck out the last batter and the Cubs won the game, Gray said Wrigley Field erupted in screams and cheers.

The Cubs defeated the Cleveland Indians, 3-2, in Game 5 of the World Series. The Cubs are trying to become the first club to overcome a 3-1 World Series deficit since the 1985 Kansas City Paulette Gray Royals.

Crystal Lake resident The last time the Cubs won the World Series, in 1908, women weren’t allowed to vote, cars were not mass produced, and every baseball game was played during the day.

“This is history, and we’ve been waiting and waiting and waiting, and it’s here,” Gray said.

The 47-year-old was born in Chicago and watched several games with her grandfather as a young fan. Even though he denied being a fan and often would joke about how poorly the team was playing, Gray said, he knew everything about the team.

The family practice lawyer started regularly attending games 10 or 15 years ago, often with friends and family. Last year, she went to the game Sept. 15 for her birthday and got a picture with Theo Epstein, president of baseball operations for the Cubs. Gray also snapped a photo with her favorite player, Kyle Schwarber, and has enjoyed attending games every year with a friend she’s known since she was 6 years old.

In January 2015, after former Cubs shortstop and legend Ernie Banks died, Gray took her children downtown so they could watch the funeral procession. She even named her dog Banks after her all-time favorite Cub. Last year, while attending Game 4 of the National League Championship Series against the New York Mets, Gray said, she realized the team had really turned itself around. The Cubs were defeated, 8-3, and the Mets went on to the World Series, where they lost to the Kansas City Royals.

“That was the first time where I was bummed that we didn’t win, but I realized we do have next year,” she said. “This team is this good now, and we’re only going to get better.”

For all of the Cubs fans anxiously awaiting Tuesday evening’s Game 6, Gray had one message: “You just gotta believe.

You just have to believe. They have the ability to do this – we just have to let them.”

‘‘

This is history, and we’ve been waiting and waiting and waiting, and it’s here.”

Benefit set for Crystal Lake girl with terminal cancer

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com

John B. Gabel 72

CRYSTAL LAKE – Since their daughter’s terminal diagnosis, a lot of the daily routine has changed at the Greene house.

The Greene family recently learned that 7-year-old Abby Greene has an aggressive brain tumor called a diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma. The illness has a zero percent survival rate thus far. Abby is in treatment five days a week in downtown Chicago, and her mother, Rachel Greene, had to quit her jobs.

But the community’s support has been overwhelming to the family, said Abby’s father, Adam Greene.

“We have had so many helping hands,” Adam Greene said. “We have friends and family that are doing everything they can to make our lives easier during this period. Even complete strangers – all of McHenry County has been reaching out.”

A fundraiser is planned Nov. 19 at the Dole Mansion in Crystal Lake. The event will include live music, raffle prizes, a silent auction and appetizers. Proceeds will benefit the family for things such as medical bills, Metra tickets so the family can go downtown for Abby’s treatments and any other unexpected costs.

“It’s tough,” Adam Greene said. “It’s the daily routine. She is in treatment five days a week, so my wife has had to stop working. …

We have had assistance from people, and that has gotten us through.”

Abby recently was honored at a Crystal Lake South High School football game when she was made an honorary cheerleader, flipped the pregame coin and received dozens of carnations. She will attend the November benefit, Adam Greene said.

“Abby is really looking forward to seeing the outpouring of love and support from the community,” he said. “People have really gone above and beyond with the donations and contributing. It’s going to be a great event.”

Crystal Lake City Council to vote on marijuana fines

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – The City Council on Tuesday will vote on an ordinance that would set up a schedule of civil fines for possession of small amounts of marijuana and related paraphernalia.

Under the proposal by the Crystal Lake Police Department, being caught with less than 10 grams of marijuana or paraphernalia would be punishable with a ticket of between $300 and $500 for a first offense. The amount would double to between $600 and $1,000 for a second offense and between $1,200 and $2,000 for third and subsequent offenses.

The city has been without guidelines since last July, when Gov. Bruce Rauner signed a decriminalization law that turned what had been misdemeanor offenses into civil law violations punishable by a ticket and no related criminal record. City police have been under department orders since then to only confiscate marijuana and related paraphernalia and write up reports, but not make any arrests or write citations.

Although the law was signed in July, it essentially created a new class of crime that required clarification from the Illinois Supreme Court regarding rules and procedures.

Under the old state law, possessing

up to 2.5 grams was a Class C misdemeanor, possessing between 2.5 and 10 grams was a Class B misdemeanor and possessing paraphernalia was a Class A misdemeanor.

Twenty states and the District of Columbia have passed laws decriminalizing marijuana to varying extents, with four states and the capital legalizing marijuana, with restrictions, for recreational use. Legalization will be on the ballot in five states on Nov. 8.

City Council members also will vote Tuesday whether to grant three more video gambling permits, bringing the total number of city permits to 10.

The meeting begins at 7:30 p.m. at City Hall, 100 W. Woodstock St.

Woodstock teen accused of stabbing man charged with robbery while free on bond

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A Woodstock-area teen charged with aggravated battery after he allegedly stabbed at 31-year-old man in August is back in custody on new felony charges.

Bryan Estrada, 18, of the 400 block of Leah Lane, was charged Aug. 22 with two counts of aggravated battery, Class 3 felonies, and one count of mob action, a Class 4 Bryan felony.

Estrada Police said Estrada and the 31-year-old man attended a party, and the two were asked to leave for the evening when they had a verbal altercation. The altercation became physical outside the residence when

Estrada allegedly stabbed the man once and punctured his lung.

He has since pleaded not guilty to the charges and posted 10 percent of his $30,000 bond.

While out on bond, Estrada was arrested again and charged Oct. 25 with armed robbery, a Class X felony; aggravated robbery, a Class 1 felony; theft, a Class 3 felony; aggravated battery, a Class 3 felony; and mob action, a Class 4 felony. Estrada is accused of taking a Samsung cellphone and black wallet containing $400 from a man who was walking to his car after finishing a shift at work.

The man was confronted by two subjects, later identified as Estrada and 21-year-old Andres Hernandez, one of which pointed a handgun at him and demanded his cellphone. He refused to hand over his phone, and he was

struck in the head with the butt of the gun, police said.

The male victim was treated for injuries by the Woodstock Fire/Rescue District, police said.

Estrada’s bond on the new charges is $250,000. Assistant State’s Attorney Randi Freese filed a motion in court to increase or revoke his bond because of his “failure to comply with the conditions of his bond and the danger he presents to the public,” according to the motion. The motion to increase or revoke bond will be argued later this week.

Hernandez, 21, of Harvard, also was arrested in the Oct. 25 incident and was charged with armed robbery, aggravated robbery, theft, mob action and aggravated battery. He is in custody on $250,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court Thursday.

Anonymous tip led to woman’s arrest near Westwood Elementary NORTHWEST HERALD WOODSTOCK – Police have charged a registered sex offender with living too close to Westwood Elementary School.

The Woodstock Police Department’s Criminal Investigation Division received an anonymous tip Oct. 24 that a sex offender might be unlawfully re- Christina E. siding within 500 feet of Sutter school property.

Upon investigating the tip, police said detectives discovered that Christina E. Sutter, a registered child sex offender, was unlawfully residing at 14206 Westwood Trail, Woodstock.

The residence is within 500 feet of Westwood school property. She was taken into custody at that address without incident.

Upon conferring with the McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office, a charge against Sutter was approved for being a sex offender unlawfully residing within 500 feet of school property. The charge is a Class 4 felony carrying a potential prison term of one to three years.

Sutter, 32, was in custody Monday at the McHenry County Jail. Her bond is set at $1,000, and she is scheduled to appear in court Tuesday morning.

Sutter was sentenced to jail in 2013 for robbing a Marengo gas station with a BB gun in October 2011.

During that investigation, she also was charged with criminal sexual abuse for sexual contact with an underage girl.

Police said Sutter had previously listed her address as 270 Winding Canyon Way, Algonquin.

CRYSTAL LAKE – A fine arts teacher at Crystal Lake Central High School and president of the Community High School District 155 teachers union has been on administrative leave pending a district investigation of a “personnel matter.”

An email dated Thursday from Principal Steve Olson told parents that choir director Justin Hubly has been on indefinite leave, and that the district is “cooperating with local authorities as appropriate.”

Although the email stated that his curriculum will continue to be taught and that extracurriculars involving

him will continue as planned, the district reserved further comment, citing the ongoing investigation.

“Although I’m sure you have questions, please understand that we cannot share specific information regarding personnel matters. As principal, I want to assure you that your student’s education is of primary importance to me, and we are working hard to plan ahead so that CLC can continue to deliver on its expectation of a high quality educational experience,” Olson wrote.

Hubly, of Crystal Lake, became the school’s choir director in 2004. He also serves as student activities director, and has served five terms as president of the District 155 Education Association, which represents teachers at all four of the district’s high schools. He earns $85,290 a year, not counting benefits, according to school records.

His choir classes will go on as scheduled, as will the upcoming winter musical and Illinois Music Education Association events, Olson wrote.

A van will leave from the McHenry Public Library, 809 Front St., taking people to the Centegra Gavers Breast Center, 360 Terra Cotta Road, Crystal Lake. The van is scheduled to leave at 4:45 p.m., and the tour group is expected to meet in the library’s main lobby.

Anyone who participates in the tour will receive a brief presentation about breast health and age-appropriate screening recommendations. Women age 40 or older who haven’t had a mammogram in the past year also are encouraged to get a mammogram during Thursday’s visit.

Women who would like to have a mammogram during the trip can register for one beforehand. Although the event is free to attend, mammograms will be billed through people’s insurance.

A photo ID and insurance card will be required for anyone wanting a mammogram that day. No physician’s order is needed to participate, but a copy of a person’s most recent mammogram will be asked for if available.

The tour is made possible via a grant from Carolyn Adams Ticket for the Cure, a lottery game that aims to help educate women about the importance of early detection of breast cancer, the risks of breast cancer and where they can go for screenings.

Anyone interested can register for Thursday’s tour at mchenrylibrary. org.

WOODSTOCK – First United Methodist Church in Woodstock is accepting monetary donations to help a family displaced in last week’s apartment complex fire.

The fire occurred Oct. 24 at an apartment complex on Prairie View Lane. It originated in a third-story apartment’s kitchen and displaced 28 people. Donations will go toward the family who lived where the fire started, because their unit is completely

uninhabitable, Woodstock Fire/Rescue District Capt. Brendan Parker said.

The Red Cross is assisting with the fundraiser, Parker said.

Kirk’s Senate bid weakened after ‘racist’ remark

By SARA BURNETT

The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Illinois Republican U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk, already facing an uphill battle for re-election, is entering the crucial final week before Election Day weakened by comments about his opponent that critics attacked as racist and “beyond reprehensible.”

Two organizations whose endorsements Kirk touted as indicators of his independence withdrew their backing over the weekend, issuing blistering rebukes. Both said they’re now supporting Democratic U.S. Rep. Tammy Duckworth.

Democrats are relying on winning Illinois as they look to regain control of the Senate. The party must pick up four or five seats to do so, depending on whether they retain control of the White House.

Kirk spent the weekend largely outside the public eye. Although he attended some community events, his campaign didn’t advise reporters or the public beforehand – a highly unusual move for any candidate in the waning days of a campaign, but one that allowed him to avoid rehashing the incident in the media. Duckworth had a full campaign schedule, including get-out-thevote events with civil rights icon and U.S. Rep. John Lewis.

Karmeier sworn in as Illinois Supreme Court chief justice

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois Supreme Court Justice Lloyd Karmeier was sworn in Monday as the 120th chief justice of the state’s highest court during an installation ceremony in Springfield.

Karmeier, 76, was sworn in by Justice Rita Garman, who served three years as chief justice.

In remarks after being sworn in, Karmeier frequently referenced his family and others who helped him climb the legal ranks.

He noted he was wearing a robe that belonged to former Illinois Supreme Court Justice Byron House.

“No one can stand here, or sit in this position, without being profoundly moved,” he said.

Karmeier also was complimentary of his

Republican U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk and Democratic U.S. Rep. Tammy Duckworth face off Thursday at the University of Illinois in Springfield in their first televised debate in what’s considered a crucial race that could determine which party controls the Senate.

Kirk, who’s seeking his second term, apologized Friday for mocking Duckworth’s immigrant background and her family’s military service.

Duckworth, a veteran who lost both legs when the helicopter she was co-piloting was shot down in Iraq, said during a debate Thursday that her family has “served this nation in uniform going

back to the Revolution.”

Kirk responded that he’d forgotten the congresswoman’s “parents came all the way from Thailand to serve George Washington.”

Duckworth’s mother is of Chinese descent, born in Thailand. The congresswoman, who was born in Bangkok, says her father first went to Southeast Asia

colleagues, with whom he has served since 2004.

“Thank you for your individual and collective wisdom, collegiality and strength,” he said. “Thank you for your support. You hold a special place in my heart.”

“We are far from reaching our goal of ensuring every student graduates prepared for success in college and career,” said Jason Helfer, the state’s deputy superintendent.

State PARCC tests see more participation, improvement

CHICAGO – More than half of Illinois’ schools have improved in the second year of controversial state PARCC exams, and test participation rose statewide.

This year’s state exam results were made public Monday in the annual Illinois Report Card, an accumulation of data painting a wide picture of schools that includes various factors.

The percentage of students meeting or exceeding Illinois standards in math went from 28.2 percent in 2014-15 to 30.5 percent in 2015-16. The percentage of students meeting or exceeding state standards for English declined from 37.7 percent to 36.2 percent.

State officials believe too many students still go to college unprepared.

Officials unveil high-speed rail passenger station

DWIGHT – A new high-speed passenger rail station has been completed in the northeast Illinois community of Dwight.

The (Kankakee) Daily Journal reported that Illinois Transportation Secretary Randy Blankenhorn announced the completion last week. The new station is among upgrades aimed at improving high-speed service between Chicago and St. Louis.

The 1,500-square-foot building features a glass facade and modern amenities for passengers on Amtrak’s Lincoln Service.

That includes connections to bicycle and pedestrian paths and free Wi-Fi. Construction began last year at the site of a former grain elevator. It’s near a historic train depot in Dwight.

The roughly $3 million project will be paid for through a federal grant.

while serving with the Marines in Vietnam.

Human Rights Campaign, a gayrights group, and Americans for Responsible Solutions, a gun-control group led by former U.S. Rep. Gabby Giffords, both cited the remarks.

“Senator Kirk’s racist attack on Congresswoman Duckworth is unacceptable and represents a low point, even in this election season,” Americans for Responsible Solutions Executive Director Peter Ambler said.

Human Rights Campaign said it was the first time in the group’s 36-year history that it had reversed an endorsement.

“Attacking someone because of her race and ethnicity is inexcusable for anyone, but especially for a sitting U.S. Senator,” HRC President Chad Griffin said.

Kirk Campaign spokeswoman Eleni Demertzis said Monday Kirk is proud of his leadership in fighting discrimination and gun violence. Kirk has an “F’’ rating from the National Rifle Association and was the second GOP senator to support same-sex marriage.

“The HRC and ARS decisions are unfortunate because they were based on politics instead of reality and further exemplified just how uncomfortable they were in supporting a Republican who was a leader for their efforts,” Demertzis said.

New stations also are expected in in Pontiac, Normal, Carlinville and Alton. Stations in Lincoln and Springfield will be upgraded.

At least 17 dead in Chicago violence over weekend

CHICAGO – At least 17 people were killed and more than 40 injured in Chicago’s street violence over the weekend.

The Chicago Tribune and Sun-Times analyzed police data from Friday afternoon to early Monday, calling it 2016’s deadliest weekend. Chicago police couldn’t confirm that, although a spokesman said their weekend homicide count from midnight Friday through Sunday was 18.

Either way, the toll surpassed the newspapers’ analysis of holiday weekends when violence typically spikes. The Tribune reported that six people were fatally shot over Memorial Day weekend, five over Fourth of July and 13 over Labor Day. The October weekend deaths included seven people younger than 20 years old.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Zika study raises concern about men’s fertility

NEW YORK – Zika virus ravages the testes of male mice, sharply reducing sperm counts and fertility, says a study that raises a new specter about its threat to people.

Experiments found testes of infected mice shrank about 90 percent by weight, while their output of useful sperm fell by three-quarters on average, and often more. Now it’s time to find out whether Zika causes similar damage in men, experts said.

Michael Diamond of the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, a senior author of the study, said he suspects that in mice, the damage is permanent.

But experts unconnected with the study agreed that it can’t be assumed that the mouse results apply to people.

Justices sympathetic over school, service dog suit

WASHINGTON – A fluffy white goldendoodle named Wonder waited patiently Monday outside the Supreme Court while the justices inside debated the legal rights of disabled children who want to bring their service dogs to school. The court was considering the case of Ehlena Fry, a 12-yearold Michigan girl with cerebral palsy who was barred from bringing Wonder to class when she started kindergarten in 2009.

Ehlena’s family had Wonder specially trained to help open doors,

pick up items and give Ehlena a measure of independence. But school officials insisted an adult aide could provide all the help she needed. The justices were not deciding whether the school district was right or wrong, but whether the Frys should go directly to court to sue the school district instead of first going through administrative proceedings.

A ruling is expected by June.

Mayor: High-profile trials let Charleston show unity

CHARLESTON, S.C. – As two high-profile cases with racial overtones get underway in Charleston, community leaders are calling on the city to again show unity and refrain from violence.

Jury selection began Monday in the trial of Michael Slager, a former police officer accused of murder in the shooting death of Walter Scott as he ran from a traffic stop in April 2015. If convicted, Slager, who is white and 34 years old, faces 30 years to life imprisonment. Separately, jury selection resumes next week in the federal trial of Dylann Roof, a 22-year-old white man who is on trial for the June 2015 slayings of nine black parishioners during a Bible study at a Charleston church.

Neither shooting was followed by civil unrest – unlike other cities experiencing tensions between black communities and the police departments that patrol them.

Hoping to overtake Clinton, Trump sticking to insults The ASSOCIATED PRESS

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – Donald Trump plunged into his final-week sprint to Election Day on Monday decidedly on his terms: unleashing a harsh new attack against Democrat Hillary Clinton in Michigan, a state that hasn’t favored a Republican for president in nearly three decades.

His message was welcomed by supporters, but his location frustrated anxious Republicans who fear their nominee is riding his unorthodox political playbook too long – even as Clinton’s developing email problems offer new political opportunity.

“Her election would mire our government and our country in a constitutional crisis that we cannot afford,” Trump declared in Grand Rapids, pointing to the FBI’s renewed examination of Clinton’s email practices as evidence the former secretary of state might face a criminal trial as president.

National polls show a tightening race. But with more than 23 million ballots already cast through early voting, it’s unclear whether Trump has the time or capacity to dramatically improve his standing over the next week in states such as Michigan, where few political professionals in either party expect a Republican victory on Nov. 8.

Clinton, defending herself from the new FBI examination, focused Monday on battleground Ohio, a state Trump’s team concedes he must win.

“There is no case here,” Clinton insisted.

“Most people have decided a long time ago what they think about all this.”

Later in the day, Clinton campaign manag-

er Robby Mook decried what he called a “blatant double standard” following a CNBC report that the FBI director opposed releasing details about possible Russian interference in the U.S. election because it was too close to Election Day. Comey issued a letter to congressional leaders on Friday about the FBI’s renewed interest in Clinton’s email.

The AP has not confirmed the CNBC report, and the FBI declined to comment on Monday.

Amid the attacks and counterattacks, the race for the White House remains at its core a test of a simple question: Will the conventional rules of modern-day campaigns apply to a 2016 election that has been anything but conventional?

For much of the year, Clinton has pounded the airwaves with advertising, assembled an expansive voter data file and constructed a nationwide political organization that dwarfs her opponent’s.

The Democratic presidential nominee and her allies in a dozen battleground states have more than 4,800 people knocking on doors, making phone calls and otherwise working to support her candidacy. Clinton’s numbers, as reported in recent campaign filings, tripled those of Trump and the national and state Republican parties.

The New York businessman over the past year has largely ignored the key components of recent winning campaigns, depending instead on massive rallies and free media coverage to drive his outsider candidacy.

This week, he’s devoting his most valuable resource – his time – to states where polls suggest he’s trailing Clinton by significant margins.

FBI review involves thousands of new emails

By ERIC TUCKER and MICHAEL BIESECKER The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – The FBI will have to sort through thousands of newly discovered emails in its renewed examination of the practices of Hillary Clinton and her aides, a U.S. official said Monday, raising questions about whether any findings might be released before Election Day. The Justice Department, moving to address concerns over the timing of the revelation of the emails and a potential post-election spillover, said Monday that it would “dedicate all necessary resources” to concluding the review promptly.

The timing matters because Donald Trump has been assailing Clinton ever more vigorously since FBI Director James Comey revealed the existence of the emails in a remarkable and ambiguous letter to Congress last Friday. He said agents would take steps to review the messages, which were found on a computer seized during an unrelated investigation involving the estranged husband of a Clinton aide.

Rep. Anthony Weiner, the disgraced former New York congressman, is being investigated in connection with online communications with a teenage girl. He was separated this year from Huma Abedin, one of Clinton’s closest advisers.

At the White House, spokesman Josh Earnest said he would neither defend nor criticize the timing of Comey’s disclosure. But he also said President Barack Obama does not believe Comey was trying to influence the election, or strategizing to benefit one candidate or party.

“He’s in a tough spot, and he’s the one who will be in a position to defend his actions in the face of significant criticism from a variety of legal experts, including individuals who served in senior Department of Justice positions in administrations that were led by presidents in both parties,” Earnest said.

It was not immediately clear exactly how many emails have been recov-

But the U.S. official who spoke to The Associated Press said the trove numbers in the thousands and the FBI, which had a warrant to begin the review, would be focusing on those deemed pertinent to its earlier Clinton email server investigation. It’s unclear how many emails might be relevant.

In its letter to lawmakers, the department promised to “continue to work closely with the FBI and together dedicate all necessary resources and take appropriate steps as expeditiously as possible.”

The FBI and Justice Department closed that investigation, which examined whether Clinton and her aides had mishandled classified information, without charges in July.

The official who spoke to the AP was not authorized to discuss an ongoing investigation by name and spoke on the condition of anonymity.

The fact that another cache of emails potentially important to the investigation has only recently been discovered

raises an immediate question: How could Abedin have been unaware of their existence?

The answer is not yet clear, but it’s possible that either she did not know about the emails on the computer of her estranged husband, forgot about them or for some other reason did not turn

them over.

In a sworn deposition taken in June as part of a lawsuit filed by the conservative legal group Judicial Watch, Abedin was asked about what devices she had used to send or receive messages from her account on the clintonemail.com server. As part of the process in 2015 of returning her work-related emails to the State Department, Abedin said she “looked for all the devices that may have any of my State Department” work and provided two laptops and a Blackberry to her lawyers for review.

Abedin made no mention of there being additional devices where her emails might have been saved.

If the FBI finds emails Abedin sent or received through the clintonemail.com server archived on the device recently recovered from her home, that would appear to conflict with what she told the FBI earlier this year.

In an April interview, Abedin told FBI agents that after she left the State Department in 2013, Clinton’s staff transitioned to a different email sever and she “lost most of her old emails as a result.” She said she had only accessed her clintonemail.com account through a web portal and that she “did not have a method for archiving her old emails prior to the transition.”

Iraqi special forces poised on eastern edge of Mosul

By QASSIM ABDUL–ZAHRA The Associated Press

BAZWAYA, Iraq – Iraqi special forces stood poised to enter Mosul in an offensive to drive out Islamic State militants after sweeping into the last village on the city’s eastern edge Monday while fending off suicide car bombs without losing a soldier.

Armored vehicles, including Abrams tanks, drew fire from mortars and small arms as they moved on the village of Bazwaya in an assault that began at dawn, while artillery and airstrikes hit IS positions.

By evening, the fighting had stopped and units took up positions less than a mile from Mosul’s eastern border and about 5 miles from the center, two weeks into the offensive to retake Iraq’s second-largest city.

“We will enter the city of Mosul soon and liberate it from Daesh,” said Brig.

Gen. Haider Fadhil of Iraq’s special forces, using an Arabic acronym for the extremists. He added that more than 20 militants had been killed while his forces suffered only one light injury from a fall.

Three suicide car bombers had tried to stop the advance before the army took control of Bazwaya, but the troops destroyed them, he said. The army said another unit, its 9th Division, had moved toward Mosul and was about 3 miles from its eastern outskirts, the neighborhood of Gogjali.

At one point, a Humvee packed with explosives raced ahead and tried to ram the approaching forces, but Iraqi troops opened fire, blowing it up. Plumes of smoke rose from IS positions hit by artillery and airstrikes that the army said

came from the U.S.-led coalition.

State TV described the operation as a “battle of honor” to liberate the city, which was captured by IS from a superior yet neglected Iraqi force in 2014.

Some residents hung white flags on buildings and windows in a sign they would not resist government troops, said Maj. Salam al-Obeidi, a member of the special forces operation in Bazwaya. He said troops asked villagers to stay in their homes as Iraqi forces moved through the streets – a precaution against possible suicide bombers.

As night fell, broken glass in the streets glistened from the light of some burning houses, with several buildings sustaining collapsed roofs from airstrikes. The army estimates hundreds of families are in the village, but few ventured out.

Since Oct. 17, Iraqi forces and their Kurdish allies, Sunni tribesmen and Shiite militias have been converging on Mosul from all directions. Entering Gogjali could be the start of a new slog for the troops, as they’ll be forced to engage in difficult, house-to-house fighting in more urban areas. The operation is expected to take weeks, if not months.

Iraqi forces have made uneven progress. Advances have been slower south of the city, with government troops still 20 miles away.

The U.S. military estimates IS has 3,000 to 5,000 fighters in Mosul and an additional 1,500 to 2,500 in its outer defensive belt. The total includes about 1,000 foreign fighters.

Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi appeared on state TV in combat fatigues and urged IS fighters in Mosul to surrender.

Provide free lunch to kids

For two months, Josette Duran of New Mexico packed two lunches for her teenage son, Dylan.

When he first asked for the extra meal at the beginning of the school year, she figured he was hungrier than usual. Eventually he told her he was giving the food to a friend whose mother couldn’t pay the lunch bill.

Duran continued to pack the second lunch. When the other boy’s mother found out and tried to pay Duran back, she refused the money. When a volleyball team raised $400 to reimburse her, she used it to pay past-due accounts for kids at her son’s school.

“Now nobody in that school owes any money, and everybody can eat,” she said in an Oct. 14 Facebook video. Her generosity was contagious.

Jerry Fenton, more than 1,000 miles away in Burlington, heard the story. The Iowan donated $700 to pay overdue lunch bills for students at Grimes Elementary School in Burlington, which he had attended as a child.

Such acts of generosity deserve recognition and should inspire the rest of us. But they should not be necessary when it comes to school lunch.

This country is long overdue in reconsidering how it feeds millions of schoolchildren each day. Every child in a K-12 school should receive a free lunch. All of us should share in covering the expense the same way we fund many other costs of education, from heating school buildings to paying teachers.

Isn’t lunch as standard a part of the school day as math class?

Providing lunch to everyone is hardly a radical idea. Taxpayers already subsidize low-cost and free meals for more than 30 million students each day.

How much more would it cost us to feed them all?

And how much of the expense could be offset by eliminating the bureaucracy and administrative expenses in the current system?

It was 1946 when the National School Lunch Act was established. Though updated over the years, the structure remains basically the same. The federal government gives cash subsidies and food to schools. The schools agree to meet federal requirements.

But the system inevitably turns a lunch lady into a collection agent. It embarrasses families who owe money or must admit to being poor so their children can get free meals. It embarrasses children who receive an “alternative” meal when their account is in arrears. Schools are awash in paperwork.

And generous people feel compelled to donate money so children can eat a meal at school. There must be a better way.

Bad timing in October email surprise Political tension is running high in the United States, extraordinarily so, we’d say. And so it behooves everyone in a position of official responsibility to do everything he or she possibly can to help maintain stability – while avoiding all avoidable provocations – until the bitter competition between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump runs its ugly course on Nov. 8.

That is the context for Friday’s announcement by James Comey, director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, that his agency again is looking into Clinton’s private email server in light of newly discovered emails “that appear to be pertinent to the investigation.”

His timing was unfortunate, given its potential to affect a democratic process in which millions of people already are voting.

What might his reason be? On the merits, Clinton erred by using a private email server for her official communications as secre-

tary of state – though as we have previously argued, the matter has been greatly overblown.

The FBI conducted a thorough investigation for any prosecutable offenses, especially any involving the transmission of classified information. Comey rightly recommended against bringing charges. In deference to the reality the target of the inquiry was a major-party nominee for president, he gave the public a summary of the facts and law behind his decision.

Comey went too far, however, in providing raw FBI material to Congress, notwithstanding its important oversight role; that attempt to appease Republicans set a precedent future partisans who are unhappy with the results of FBI investigations may exploit.

Comey found himself in a bind when his investigators turned up additional, previously unexamined Clinton emails, apparently on devices belonging

to top aide Huma Abedin and her husband, Anthony Weiner.

If Comey failed to tell Congress before Nov. 8 about his decision to review them, he would be accused – again – of a politically motivated coverup. By revealing it, he inevitably creates a cloud of suspicion over Clinton that, if the case’s history is any guide, is unwarranted. Hence Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta’s not unreasonable demand that Comey “immediately provide the full details of what he is now examining.”

Podesta said he is “confident” full disclosure “will not produce any conclusions different from the one the FBI reached in July.”

If so, the question will be how badly damaged was Clinton’s candidacy by the 11th-hour re-eruption of a controversy that never should have generated so much suspicion or accusation in the first place.

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

Kenneally best for county

To the Editor: Having recently moved into Crystal Lake, I investigated local candidates to find the most knowledgeable, qualified and experienced candidates with high moral standards.

Republican candidate for state’s attorney, Patrick Kenneally, is an exceptionally well-qualified prosecutor with a proven track record. He has eight years of experience as a prosecutor keeping McHenry County safe from violent and sexually dangerous offenders.

Patrick understands the criminal justice system should punish criminals while using good judgment toward rehabilitating non-violent offenders. Patrick believes in the use of specialized courts to help offenders with mental heath or substance abuse issues as well as first-time offenders.

A vote for Patrick Kenneally will keep our community safe while criminal offenders receive just and fair due process treatment under the law.

A driver of higher property taxes is the state’s Prevailing Wage Law. As a city councilman, I see first-hand how this arcane and burdensome law increases taxes on the city of Woodstock. The law is not about a living wage; it artificially overpays on government contracts, which drives up taxes. We are forced to overpay in government contracts by hundreds of thousands of dollars each year.

What are you afraid of?

To the Editor: I’m glad the overall reasons came to light about my suspension. Yes, it involved a video endorsing Hillary Clinton (that was the last straw). I even covered that issue in my book. But my ultimate goal of my book is to bring God back into the discussion of modern issues (which the school was afraid of).

I never preached a specific religion to my students and wasn’t planning on it. But, I believe teachers shouldn’t be afraid to cover such topics if a discussion ensues or other controversial topics (such as endorsing a candidate).

Now, if I use certain evidence to make an opinion to your students, then you should counter with good evidence of your own, and they can decide who’s evidence is better. This will allow your children to grow as independent thinkers and not under a dictatorship that many parents want to have over their child’s views about the world. So many parents have given full authority to teachers for their child’s education but then fence in our opinions to make sure we don’t give any ideas that might sway their child away from their beliefs. This is not good for education as a whole.

So don’t be afraid of teachers. If you don’t like our opinions on matters, outsmart us with better evidence. Not only will students gain valuable thinking skills, you will ignite teachers’ passions, which will enhance their educational experience.

To the Editor: Even if Albert Einstein didn’t say, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result,” it’s still true. It also perfectly sums up our choice in the coming election.

McHenry County has so much going for it – hardworking people, fertile land and good schools, just to name a few things – but the property taxes increasingly are driving people and businesses elsewhere.

This has been a problem for a long time, yet majorities of voters continue to elect officials who are products of and loyal to the local machine.

Mike Walkup is the epitome of this. He talks like a reformer but milks the system for benefits he won’t prove he is eligible for, and then he jacks up our property taxes to cover the bill. Voting for Walkup would simply be doing the same thing yet again. In other words, insane.

negatives on both candidates and understand the difficulty in making an endorsement. Like David, I appreciate the paper’s endorsements, particularly the rationale, even when I disagree.

To David: I already have voted. While holding my nose, I voted for Trump. To me, it boiled down to the Supreme Court.

With one vacancy and the next five justices by age are 68 (Clarence Thomas) to 83 (Ruth Bader Ginsberg), the next president will be appointing at least two and likely more. I hope this rationale is helpful.

Do candy and soda makers belong at a dietitians’ conference?

By CANDICE CHOI

The Associated Press BOSTON – The blinking game show wheel spins past logos for Triscuits, Wheat Thins and Honey Maid before the needle settles at Fig Newtons.

“Newtons are made with real fruit and whole grains. True or false?” a Nabisco representative asks onlookers, who are among 10,000 attendees at a conference where dietitians can earn credits for continuing education.

The answer, the Nabisco representative said, is true.

Among the hundreds of exhibits, many focused on items such as beans, eggs, strawberries and leafy greens. But big packaged food makers and trade groups also had a presence, emblematic of the complex ties between the food industry and nutritionists and a push by critics to bring greater awareness to corporate influence on the profession.

PepsiCo brought a vending machine stocked with Quaker bars, Naked juices and reduced-fat Doritos. Unilever showcased Hellmann’s spreads and offered samples of Breyer’s ice cream. Nestle displayed bottled water, Nesquik chocolate drinks and Butterfingers candies.

A Sugar Association pamphlet suggested sprinkling sugar on vegetables for picky children.

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

“It’s been an important topic in the pharmaceutical world, and now it’s be-

Wiss feels there is a “huge, inherent” industry influence some may not realize exists. He said a bigger problem than the expo hall is the influence that sponsors have with continuing education sessions for dietitians, and recalled a previous class where he was taught about salt by Frito-Lay. Lucille Beseler, president of the

Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, said in an email that academy members know the difference between marketing and science, and use their professional judgment to evaluate exhibitors’ products and programs.

She said nutrition professionals do not dictate what people eat, and “must therefore be familiar with all foods and products in the marketplace.”

The academy noted that sessions sponsored by companies or industry groups were distinct from regular educational sessions because they required a $10 donation from session attendees to

the academy’s foundation, which provides scholarships and research grants.

The sponsored sessions still count toward continuing education credits, which are required to maintain licenses.

That included one that discussed the benefits of milk and flavored milk sponsored by Fairlife, one of Coca-Cola’s joint ventures, and one on the advantages of orange juice sponsored by a juice industry group. A two-hour session on the value of multivitamins was sponsored by vitamin brand Nature Made.

The professor who taught the class listed Pharmavite, which owns the brand, in a slide of disclosures.

Afterward, two attendees said they did not know the professor had been paid by the session sponsor. Still, they said they found the session informative and felt the professor backed up his views.

Diane Enos, who heads educational programming for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, said sponsorship of sessions is clearly disclosed, and that educational materials for those sessions are subject to the same standards and review as for other sessions.

She said it is not the sponsor that submits the materials for review, but the speakers.

In some cases, the speakers were representatives or employees of the sponsor.

Marion Nestle, a nutrition professor at New York University, reviewed the educational slides for the session sponsored by Fairlife at AP’s request and did not think they should be considered education.

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 2016

NEW YORK – Adele has opened up about parenting, her struggle with postpartum depression and alcohol use in a new interview.

The 28-year-old singer tells Vanity Fair she felt like she had made “the worst decision” of her life after having her son, Angelo, who’s now 4. She said she eventually had to spend some time alone in order to overcome her postpartum depression.

Adele also touched on cutting back on her drinking and quitting smoking. She said “having a hangover with a child is torture.” She said she used to be a “massive drinker,” but now only indulges in two glasses of wine a week.

The Canadians won a competition hosted by Airbnb to get the chance to dine and sleep at the castle in Romania.

Romania: 2 Canadians to sleep in coffins at Dracula’s Castle BRAN, Romania – A Canadian brother and sister are passing Halloween night curled up in red velvet-lined coffins in the Transylvanian castle that inspired the Dracula legend, the first time in 70 years anyone has spent the night in the gothic fortress.

The siblings from Ottawa bested 88,000 people who entered a competition hosted by Airbnb to get the chance to dine and sleep at the castle in Romania.

Events manager Tami Varma and her brother Robin, a PhD student, are the grandchildren of Devendra P. Varma, a scholar of English gothic tales and an expert in vampire lore who visited the castle in 1971.

They were asked in the competition: “What would you say to Dracula if you met him?” and Tami Varma answered that their late grandfather “was the world’s leading expert in gothic literature, and was considered to be an expert in Dracula. ... We would do just about anything to stay as a guest with the original vampire who inspired him.”

Adding to the eerie atmosphere Monday, light snow fell on the 14th-century castle where Vlad the Impaler, the prince who inspired Bram Stoker’s Dracula novel, is believed to have stayed.

The pair arrived in a stagecoach drawn by two black horses as a buzzing drone filmed the event. “The nerves are kicking in. It’s becoming real, really fast,” Tami, 31, exclaimed, climbing down from the stagecoach in a slinky red dress and boots.

She told castle manager Alex Priscu she was “overwhelmed. This may be the best day of our lives.”

Users mourn as Twitter kills quirky, beloved Vine

By BARBARA ORTUTAY The Associated Press

NEW YORK – You can watch any video for six seconds, played on an infinite loop. The funniest ones only get more ridiculous with repetition.

That was the beauty of Vine, the simple, pioneering mobile video app Twitter has decided to kill off. Its loyal users are mourning its weirdness, humor and creativity-boosting constraints.

There are alternatives, sure, but nothing as simple as Vine, which did just one thing, and one thing well.

Instagram has photos and videos of all sorts. Snapchat keeps expanding features, and it isn’t really meant for mindless scrolling of humorous content. Facebook, well, we all know Facebook.

Vine’s demise is a story of what happens when a cool, edgy, but money-losing service fails to take off

with the masses amid competition from heavyweight rivals. On the other hand, had Vine gained mass popularity, it might have lost its edge, the essence of what made Vine Vine, and instead got gobbled up by big brands and sanitized into the mainstream – a bit like what’s happened to Twitter, or Instagram.

“Vine is a very unique app in that it requires the smallest amount of attention. Watching YouTube videos, reading Facebook posts or even looking at tweets takes more concentration than watching a six-second clip,” said Carling Crawford, 19.

Crawford, a student at the University of Texas at Austin, fondly recalled classic Vines, such as the one titled “A Potato Flew Around My Room Before You Came,” which, as its name suggests, shows a potato tied to a ceiling fan and flying around a room. In the time you read this sentence, it already played twice. It has been played more

than 23 million times and “revined,” or shared, nearly 9,000 times.

Several college students mentioned looking at Vine at the end of the day, before going to bed, as a way to decompress, especially if the day was tough.

“It was something funny to end my day on, kind of like a detox,” said Olivia Burger, a sophomore at Gannon University in Erie, Pennsylvania.

Twitter bought Vine a few months before the service launched in 2013.

The service enjoyed a brief surge in popularity before it got overtaken

by Snapchat and Instagram, which introduced 15-second videos later that year. Vine stars (yes, that is a thing), moved on.

Jessica Vasquez, a makeup artist and self-described “professional potato” who goes by Jessi Smiles on Vine, hasn’t posted to that account since March. On Instagram, though, she was active five days ago and on Twitter, as recently as Thursday, when she

lamented the demise of the beloved app.

“What a crazy journey this has been,” she wrote on Twitter. “Forever grateful for that silly little app.”

More importantly perhaps, Vine was popular with black and Hispanic teens and 20-somethings, often more so than with their white counterparts. According to the Pew Research Center, 31 percent of black teens used Vine as of 2015, compared with just 22 percent of white, non-Hispanic teens.

Tech companies such as Twitter often are criticized for the lack of racial and other diversity among their employees. Now, the loss of a service that’s popular with minorities seems an obvious casualty of the lack of diverse voices among a company’s decision-makers.

In a blog post, Twitter said users will be able to access their Vine as the company leaves the website vine.co operational, but stops allowing posts.

CUPERTINO, Calif. – Apple unveiled long-awaited updates to its Mac computers Thursday, aiming to spark consumer interest in a product line often overshadowed by newer gadgets such as the iPad and iPhone.

The breakout feature is, as widely speculated, a new touch-sensitive panel on the MacBook Pro, Apple’s top-of-the-line laptop. The touch bar will offer functionality that’s familiar to many iPhone users. It shows word suggestions as you type and lets you scroll through libraries of emojis.

When watching movies, the touch bar can offer playback controls. When editing photos, the touch bar changes to offer options to lighten or rotate. It adapts and offers different controls for whatever app or website you’re using.

The Pro also will come with a fingerprint sensor, similar to one in the iPhone, to unlock the device. It can recognize different users and offer quick switching based on the fingerprint. The new Macs also will offer a dedicated key for the Siri voice assistant, a feature added with the MacOS Sierra update last month.

In keeping with recent updates to other Apple products, the company

the new TV app could make it easier for viewers to find shows to watch, as it means they don’t have to check individual apps. Amazon’s Fire TV is taking a similar approach with a software update, although the unified experience will be part of the home screen, not an app.

The app, though, is short of a fullfledged streaming-TV service, which reports say Apple has been pursuing.

Rather, it brings together TV shows and movies viewers already get through individual subscriptions. The TV app will be synced with iPhones and iPads, so viewers can catch the next episode regardless of device.

Apple said its Siri voice assistant also will direct viewers to live events, such as streaming sports.

Apple said Apple TV already has AP photo 8,000 apps, including more than 2,000 Apple CEO Tim Cook speaks about Apple TV during an announcement of new products games. The addictive building game “Minecraft” will come later this year.

Behavioral therapy can treat pain Dear Dr. K: My doctor suggested cognitive behavioral therapy to treat my chronic back pain. Does he think I’m imagining my discomfort?

Dear Reader: I’m often asked this question about cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).

Because it was developed by a psychiatrist and involves “talk therapy,” people assume it is used to treat just psychological problems.

Not so. CBT can help people cope with many chronic “physical” illnesses. The symptoms caused by physical illnesses can generate anxiety and irrational fears. These, in turn, can make the pain worse.

Low back pain is the second most common cause of disability in the United States.

Yet even though back pain is so common, not all people respond in the same way to this often-disabling condition. These differing responses are due in part to different people’s attitudes and outlooks.

Don’t misunderstand; I’m not saying you are imagining your pain. But psychological factors can influence your pain. I spoke about this with my colleague Dr. Srini Pillay, assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.

Pain itself can rewire your brain as well.

When pain first occurs, it impacts your pain-sensitivity brain circuits. But lasting pain switches brain activity away from pain circuits to circuits that process emotions.

That’s why emotions like anxiety often take center stage in chronic back pain. And it’s why emotional control becomes that much more difficult.

The good news is CBT and mindfulness training really can be helpful for chronic back pain. Researchers recently published a landmark study that strongly supports the use of these therapies.

The researchers showed training people with chronic low back pain in either mind-

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff fulness or CBT worked significantly better than medical care alone to reduce both their disability and pain-related suffering. What’s more, this greater improvement still was evident a full year later, when the study ended.

Mindfulness training teaches us to be aware of, and accept, moment-to-moment physical sensations of discomfort. At the same time, it teaches us to let go of our usual negative reactions.

CBT takes a somewhat different approach. It helps us learn to observe and identify our negative thoughts about our condition and replace them with more realistic and positive ones.

I often write about CBT, largely because my readers ask about it. In my professional lifetime, it is the most important new form of talk therapy. Studies have shown its effectiveness. The evidence is convincing enough the doctor who developed the technique was honored with one of the most prestigious prizes for medical research, the Lasker Award.

Indeed, when I graduated medical school, the most prestigious form of psychiatric talk therapy was psychoanalysis, the technique developed by Sigmund Freud. CBT is increasingly used to treat psychological illnesses, and psychoanalysis seems less widely practiced. Particularly in the treatment of chronic physical illnesses, such as low back pain, CBT has become a very important form of treatment.

telling your parents not to spend more money on gifts for the grandchild because she doesn’t want her mother to be embarrassed. However, if her rude behavior extends beyond that, rather than take her on, the person you should “confront” about it is your brother.

Dear Abby: My fiancé and I are in the process of ordering our wedding invitations, and the phrase “the honor of your presence is requested” versus “the pleasure of your company is requested” is causing a problem.

The woman at the store insists we use the latter because the ceremony won’t be in a church. My research on the internet says if the ceremony is a religious one, the phrase “the honor of your presence” is appropriate, and it also is our preference. However, if the ceremony is a civil one, the “pleasure of your company is requested” is the preferred one.

Our minister will be performing the ceremony in the gazebo at the country club. Although it’s not a church, the ceremony certainly will be religious. What’s the proper etiquette on this issue? – Donna In Florida Dear Donna: The salesperson at the store is mistaken. The wording on your wedding invitation is not determined by whether you are being married in a church.

I ran your letter by Lisa Grotts, a San Francisco Bay-area certified etiquette expert, who had this to say: “The wording of wedding invitations varies, depending upon who is hosting the wedding, i.e., the parents of the bride or groom. If the bride’s parents are hosting, then the phrase ‘the honor of your presence’ is correct. However, if you and your fiancé (or other family members) are hosting the wedding, then the more modern terminology ‘the pleasure of your company’ is preferable.”

My brother and his wife have been married 3½ years and have an 18-month-old daughter. My sister-in-law, “Barb,” is either very rude or passive-aggressive to our mother in emails and when she thinks no one is around.

At Christmas, Barb sends out an email detailing what we are and are not allowed to buy for their daughter. If we can’t do exactly what she wants, she threatens to cancel Christmas.

Barb tells my mom because her mother doesn’t have much money, Mom can’t spend more than her mother does. So, because my family has a little more money, we are being punished.

Barb is extremely demeaning and hurtful to us. I can’t understand why my brother allows it.

My husband and I are sick and tired of her acting this way, and the way she treats my mother is cruel. I’m tempted to confront her about how she has ruined Christmas for my parents. She basically doesn’t allow us to have feelings, and I can’t believe we are standing for it. – Holiday

No Phone calls please.

Joyce Brothers, a psychologist and author, said, “A philosopher is a person who doesn’t care which side his bread is buttered on; he knows he eats both sides anyway.”

Yesterday, we looked at declarer’s making five diamonds in this deal after West cashed two spade winners, then exited with a heart. What resource did West miss?

The bidding was intricate. North’s second-round two-spade cue-bid showed his hand strength. His threespade cue-bid on the next round was an unsuccessful attempt to reach three no-trump if South had a spade stopper.

West, after taking his two spade tricks, should check the high-card points. He has 12, and dummy holds 13. That leaves only 15 unaccounted for. South surely has the club and heart aces and, presumably, no more side-suit losers. West should wonder how his side might collect a trump trick. However, he should also realize that declarer knows that he, West, has the diamond queen. But because West has such good trump spots, the eight and nine, there is a chance for a trump promotion.

At trick three, West should lead the spade four -- a loser, not a winner, when you want partner to ruff.

Then the spotlight turns to East. He knows from the bidding that South is also out of spades. What is his partner doing? He must be trying for an uppercut. To play his part, East ruffs with the diamond four.

Note that when South overruffs with the 10, West gains a trump trick to defeat the contract.

Bears allow season-low 258 yards, record 5 sacks

What to watch World Series: Cubs at Cleveland, 7 p.m., FOX Jake Arrieta, who took a no-hitter into the sixth inning in Game 2, faces the Indians’ Josh Tomlin in Game 6 with Cleveland leading the series, 3-2.

CHICAGO – Jay Cutler returned Monday night to the usual cacophony of national TV scrutiny, while Jeremy Langford quietly took his place behind the Bears’ new starting running back.

But someone else made their way back to Soldier Field in the Bears’ 2010 upset of the Vikings, and on an appropriate night: Monsters.

The Bears played dress-up on Halloween, wearing their “Monsters of the Midway” uniforms, and then did their best impression of a feared defense, allowing a season-low 258 yards.

Until Sam Bradford found Stefon Diggs for a 25-yard score with 5:41 remaining and behind by 17 points, the Bears were on the verge of snapping the NFL’s longest active streak allowing a touchdown: 66 straight games.

“We just played a great team and we dominated them,” said outside linebacker Pernell McPhee, who recorded his first sack of the season and was credited with four quarterback hurries. “So it’s gotta piss everybody off and say, ‘We shouldn’t lose no more games to teams that we ain’t got no business losing to.’ ” The Bears did plenty of that during

their 2-6 start. But Monday night gave the defense – and the team – a rare sign of progress entering into their bye.

Against an offensive line called out by their coach last week – Mike Zimmer called the Vikings “soft” after allowing six sacks to the Eagles – the Bears recorded five sacks, tying a season high, and nine quarterback hurries.

“They came out rearing, ready to hit,” Jay Cutler said defensive end Akiem Hicks, who had two sacks. “We anticipated that, and I think we countered that effectively.”

Before the fourth-quarter touchdown, the closest the Vikings came to the end zone was third-and-goal at the Bears’ 2 in the final minute of the first half. Hicks sacked Bradford to force a 30-yard Blair Walsh field goal.

That drive was only alive because defensive end Cornelius Washington left the sideline to celebrate McPhee’s third-down sack. The Bears had forced four punts up to that point, including three straight three-and-out possessions in which the Vikings totaled 6 yards.

Two Connor Barth Field goals and

Jordan Howard’s 2-yard touchdown run gave the Bears a 13-3 lead at halftime, and Alshon Jeffery’s first score of the season, an 11-yarder five minutes into the third quarter, increased the Bears’ advantage to 20-3.

Cutler went 20 for 31 for 252 yards after missing five straight games with sprained right thumb ligaments. Howard was a revelation after two subpar games, running 26 times for 153 yards.

But the defense set the tone. That it was against an inconsistent offense – without running back Jerick McKinnon – is worth noting, although the Bears let other flawed offenses thrive in recent weeks. The Packers, without a functioning running back, hung 26 on them. Arrelious Benn’s 51-yard touchdown that beat the Bears the week before was the Jaguars’ longest play of the season – before or since.

Needing a touchdown to win the game, the Colts marched 82 yards for one without so much as a third down in the game’s final minutes.

After allowing five fourth-quarter touchdowns during their three-game losing streak, the Bears defense closed out the game Monday night.

“That’s what changed for today,” Hicks said. “We played the entire game rather than a half, rather than 45 minutes.”

Jordan Howard, Bears, RB: His 69-yard run got the Bears going early, and he finished with 202 rushing yards.

Pernell McPhee, Bears, LB: He helped key the Bears’ pass rush with one sack and four QB hits.

The Bears’ Akiem Hicks celebrates his sack of the Vikings’ Sam Bradford with Harold Jones-Quartey late in the second quarter Monday at Soldier Field.

Akiem Hicks, Bears, DL: Hicks had four tackles and two sacks, both coming on third down.

H. Rick Bamman – hbamman@ shawmedia.com

3 things that worked

Running game: Against a dominant front seven, it was the Bears – without two Pro Bowl guards – who won in the trenches. Howard had 153 rushing yards, averaging 5.9 yards a carry, and the O-line paved the way for chunk runs to run out the clock in the fourth.

Third-down offense: The Bears converted 50 percent of their third downs (7 for 14), with Jay Cutler using some improvisation to make key passes to Alshon Jeffery and Zach Miller to move the sticks.

3 that didn’t

1 2 3

First-quarter offense: Howard’s run was great, but aside from that, the Bears had 12 plays for 25 yards, punting twice and not scoring a touchdown after Howard’s 69-yarder, settling for a field goal.

Returning punts early: Cre’Von LeBlanc had some shaky moments in the first half with the wind at Soldier Field, as the Bears started drives at their own 7- and 5-yard lines. He cleaned it up, however, finishing with 26 yards on three returns.

Too little too late? It’s hard to find much else the Bears struggled with Monday night, but it’s fair to wonder what impact it could have moving forward considering the 2-6 hole they are already in heading into the bye.

3 moments that mattered

1 2

Third-down screen: Facing a third-and-9 from the Vikings’ 42 in the second quarter, Dowell Loggains dialed up a screen to counter Minnesota’s blitz. It worked, as Howard went for 11 and a first down, and scored a touchdown three plays later.

Hicks’ first sack: Akiem Hicks ran past a football lying on the ground after a Pernell McPhee sack on third down, giving Bears fans awful memories of the 2013 finale. A Cornelius Washington penalty extended the Vikings’ drive, but Hicks redeemed himself with a sack on third-and-goal, forcing Minnesota to settle for a field goal before halftime.

3

Cutler to Jeffery: It took until the third quarter, but Cutler finally hit Alshon Jeffery for a big play, a 34-yarder on third down to open the half, setting up an 11-play, 75-yard drive that ended with a Jeffery touchdown catch.

What now?

Record: 2-6 What it means: Still last place in the NFC North, but this team should have a lot of confidence for the second half of the season.

What’s next? The Bears have a bye week before heading southeast to play the Buccaneers on Nov. 13.

4 JOHNSBURG FOOTBALL

Senior Moore commits to Air Force

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com Joe Moore’s remarkable senior football season just reached another level.

Moore, a third-year starter on both lines, has been an integral part of Johnsburg’s first 10-0 team since 2004. On Monday, he added to that with his commitment to attend Joe Moore the Air Force Academy and play football.

The Skyhawks are the No. 2-seeded team in the Class 4A northern bracket and hold aspirations of playing for a state championship. Moore, a 6-foot-3, 255-pound offensive tackle and defensive end, has been a team leader for the past two seasons.

Johnsburg plays at No. 10 Manteno (7-3) at 7 p.m. Friday in a second-round playoff game.

“This whole thing is pretty sudden, but that’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that you can’t really miss,” Moore

Ken Koontz for Shaw Media

Johnsburg defenders Joe Moore (right) and Jarred Bergren sack Marengo quarterback Eric MacKay on Saturday in Johnsburg. Moore on Monday committed to Air Force. said. “I know what I’m getting into as far as the coaching staff and facilities and everything. Now it’s just going out there and getting familiar with where I’m going to be the next five years.”

Moore is ready to embrace the acade-

my life and its regimented lifestyle.

“It’s a little intimidating knowing that a college athlete is under the microscope, and now that’s tenfold because you’re in the military,” Moore said. “I’m looking forward to it because structure is really

good for anybody who wants to succeed.

You’re not going to find any more structure than a military academy.”

Moore had an offer from NCAA Division II Winona (Minnesota) State and also received interest from Northern Illinois, Southern Illinois, Western Illinois, Illinois State and Army, among others.

A member of Air Force’s staff visited Johnsburg in April and met with Moore.

“They said they were interested in me and they would let me know within a month or two,” Moore said. “They got back to me and said they were still very interested, but I was going to be a second-round kind of offer guy. They said to have a good senior season and send us those highlights.”

Moore did, and when other of the Cadets’ top recruits went elsewhere, they called with an offer.

“It’s an incredible opportunity for him, and it sets him up for his future,” Skyhawks coach Dan DeBoeuf said.

“You talk about getting a good education and serving your country as well, that’s about as good as it’s going to get for him.”

BOYS SOCCER: CLASS 3A BARTLETT SUPERSECTIONAL PREVIEW

Jacobs eager to compete for first trip to state

By JOHN WILKINSON

jwilkinson@shawmedia.com On Saturday morning, just about 12 hours after winning the second sectional title in school history, putting six goals on Rockford Guilford in the process, the Jacobs soccer team was back to work.

“This group loves to compete; they love the competition piece of it,” Jacobs coach Anthony Cappello said.

Noah Melick “Saturday morning we came out to practice after winning a sectional and there was no lag, no ‘Let’s take an easy session.’ The kids showed up to work, we competed for a little bit, again they really just love to compete.”

Cappello called it, “As good a practice as they’ve had all year. ... There’s no complacency, there’s no ‘We’ve done our job,’ it’s ‘We’ve still got work to do.’ ” The next bit of work for the Golden Eagles comes Tuesday, when they face Conant at 5 p.m. in the Class 3A Bartlett Supersectional at Streamwood High School with a chance to make it to the state semifinals. Jacobs never has won a boys soccer supersectional.

Tuesday’s match Who: Jacobs vs. Conant When: 5 p.m. Tuesday Where: Streamwood High School, 701 W. Schaumburg Road What’s on the line: Winner advances to state semifinals “Everyone’s really excited, just because, like obviously, this is only the second time it’s happened in school history,” senior Jacob Moser said. “So we’re all just really eager to get out there and hopefully make our mark.

The whole season everyone has just been putting in a crazy amount of work, and it has been continuing and helping us on.”

After facing a tough nonconference schedule and winning the Fox Valley Conference, Jacobs lost its last two games of the regular season, to DundeeCrown and a ranked Glenbrook North team, but has been rolling since. The Golden Eagles have outscored opponents, 15-2, in four postseason games.

“I wasn’t too worried coming into the playoffs, just because my boys, they know how to compete. I knew they’d

be up for it,” Cappello said. “Mentally, we’re in a great spot now. We feel good, the boys are playing good, we’re playing a good brand of soccer, defending well and playing nice and loose, which is good this time of year because sometimes that moment can put too much pressure on you, and you can’t play the game the way you’re capable of.”

The Golden Eagles’ defense is anchored by centerbacks Jacob Sabella and Moser in the middle of an all-senior backline in front of senior goalkeeper Ethan Pickering. Junior holding midfielder Gabe Swarthout cleans things up when they do get stretched out or exposed.

“I think everything starts for us with our defensive work. It keeps good pressure on the ball and defending and competing as a unit,” Cappello said.

“We’re very good going forward, but a lot of that stems from our ability to keep pressure on the ball and defend well as a unit.”

Up front, the offense revolves around junior captain Noah Melick. After netting a hat trick in the sectional final, Melick has scored 32 goals this season. His assist on Patrick Murphy’s game-winning goal in the sectional semifinal was Melick’s eighth assist of

the year. Colin Walsh (5G, 17A) and Dan Burge (2G, 13A) add to the attacking options if opponents focus too much on Melick.

“They’ve made me the person I am today. They’ve made me the player I am today because they work so hard,” Melick said. “I’ve learned that even if they double-, triple-team me, I’m creating space for them to get shots off and everything. And that’s what I want – I want to win; we want to win.”

Conant comes in rolling, as well. The Cougars were the fifth seed in their sectional but knocked off the No. 3, No. 1 and No. 4 seeds in consecutive matches to win regional and sectional titles.

“They’re obviously playing very well at the right time of year,” Cappello said. “To beat St. Charles North and Addison Trail back-to-back games, they must be doing some good things. ...

Watching some tape, they’re very organized, they’re very disciplined, they’re very well coached, and it’s going to be a good game, for sure.”

The winner will advance to face either Barrington or Evanston in the state semifinals at 7 p.m. Friday at Hoffman Estates High School.

“It’s going to be a dog fight,” Melick said. “It’s going to be a great game.”

SPORTS BRIEF Duke runaway No. 1 in preseason AP Top 25

Duke is in a familiar place to open the college basketball season.

The Blue Devils are the runaway choice for No. 1 in The Associated Press preseason Top 25 on Monday. It is the eighth time Duke has held the preseason No. 1 ranking.

North Carolina has the most preseason No. 1s with nine, and UCLA also has eight.

The Blue Devils, who return three starters from last season’s team and have what is considered one of the top recruiting classes in the nation, received 58 of the 65 first-place votes from the national media panel.

Kentucky, which had two No. 1 votes, is second, while Kansas is third.

Bulls roll, improve to 3-0

By BRIAN MAHONEY The Associated Press

NEW YORK – Jimmy Butler scored 22 points, Dwyane Wade had 12 in the first road game of his career not played for Miami, and the Bulls improved to 3-0 by beating the Brooklyn Nets, 118-88, Monday night.

The Bulls had seven players in double figures, with Wade becoming the last of them when he left Bojan Bogdanovic behind with a crossover and was fouled on a drive to the basket in the fourth quarter.

Nikola Mirotic had 16 points and 10 rebounds, while Taj Gibson added 14 points and 11 boards for the Bulls.

After home victories against Eastern Conference playoff teams Boston and Indiana to open the season, the Bulls easily handled their road opener, leading by as many as 33 points.

Bogdanovic scored 15 points and Jeremy Lin had 14 for the Nets, who fell to 1-3.

Butler made all five shots as the Bulls built an 18-point lead after one quarter that grew to 25 in the second. The Bulls led, 93-66, after three quarters, leaving the crowd with little to cheer for in the

10 Indians lead series, 3-2

Want a good omen? Here he is VIEWS Joe Stevenson Pittsburgh resident Keith Reynolds thinks Dos Equis might have picked the wrong new actor for its “Most Interesting Man in the World” advertising campaign.

Reynolds considers his friend Brooks Marzka, who has seen more good fortune from his sports teams this year than, well, maybe anyone, far more interesting.

Change one word, and Marzka certainly would deserve the title: “Most Interesting Fan in the World.”

Marzka, who lives in Pittsburgh, gained some notoriety Sunday night when he snagged the home run hit by the Cleveland Indians’ Jose Ramirez in the second inning of World Series Game 5 at Wrigley Field. The former NCAA Division I outfielder chucked the ball back onto the field. It went all the way to Cubs shortstop Addison Russell, but Marzka claimed he missed his target.

“Some fan reached for me the second I [threw] it. I think he saved Ramirez,” Marzka said. “I wanted to do some skeet shooting.”

In his column about the Cubs’ thrilling 3-2 Game 5 victory, which cut Cleveland’s Series lead to 3-2, the Northwest Herald’s Tom Musick wrote about the Cubs’ fans tradition of throwing back opponents’ home run balls.

“About three seconds later, a fan angrily heaved the ball back over the wall.

Cubs shortstop Addison Russell caught it on the fly. Thousands of strangers cheered in approval,” Musick wrote.

Musick was dead-on about the “angrily” part.

“I felt bad (about throwing to Russell),” Marzka said. “I was trying to hit Ramirez.”

Marzka graduated in 2000 from Coastal Carolina, where he played right field for the Chanticleers. This brings us to the start of his amazing sports year.

Marzka, 39, was there with his 10-year-old daughter, Sophia, when the Chanticleers won the College World

Marzka, a Cubs fan, caught the home run hit by the Cleveland Indians’ Jose Ramirez in Game 5 of the World Series on Sunday at Wrigley Field and threw the ball back onto the field.

Series in Omaha. Then he was there when the Pittsburgh Penguins won the Stanley Cup. And, he was there when the Cleveland Cavaliers won the NBA Finals.

Marzka, an oil and gas abstractor who has season tickets in the bleachers (it’s the only place he will sit at Wrigley Field) is 3 for 3 in 2016. If you’re looking for an omen, Cubs fans, here is your guy.

So how did a kid from Erie, Pennsylvania, become a Cubs fan? As Marzka says, there is a story with all his teams.

Living in Pittsburgh for 15 years, becoming a Steelers fan was an automatic. The same with the Penguins.

For the Cavs, it was Marzka’s uncle Ron Shilling, a huge LeBron James fan. A couple of years ago, they went to games together, and when Shilling died of cancer, Marzka took over his season tickets.

One afternoon in 1984 at his grand-

father Fritz Marzka’s house turned Brooks into a Cubs fan. He watched Ryne Sandberg drive a ball onto Waveland Avenue and listened to Harry Caray’s, “It might be … it could be … it is!” and he was hooked.

“It was the coolest thing I ever saw in my life,” Marzka said.

Brooks and his father, Terry, drove from Erie to Chicago and sat in the stands. Brooks met Caray once.

“He was larger than life; he was jovial and cool,” Marzka said.

On one afternoon, about 25 years ago, Terry got someone to toss Brooks a ball in the bleachers during batting practice. Brooks threw it all the way to the infield grass. Sandberg tossed it back and forth with him a few times.

“It was one of my favorite moments there,” said Marzka, while driving to Cleveland for however many games are remaining in the Series.

Marzka starred at Coastal Carolina,

leading the Chants in hits, doubles and homers in 1999, and again in hits and doubles in 2000. He was named to the Big South Conference’s All-Decade team for 1990 to ’99.

Cubs fans look at starting pitchers Jake Arrieta (2015 Cy Young winner) and Kyle Hendricks (possible 2016 Cy Young) and find hope despite trailing, 3-2, in the Series.

They also can look at The Most Interesting Fan in the World with his incredible winning streak.

“I can’t (believe it),” Marzka said.

“When the Pens won, I told everyone it was going to be my year, and I’m 3 for 3 so far. I got a shot with the Cubbies.

There is hope again.”

CLEVELAND – If Sunday night at Wrigley Field was any indication, the Cubs made the right decision by pursuing Door No. 2 with Aroldis Chapman in trade talks with the Yankees at the summer deadline.

That is, unless Andrew Miller gets a chance to end the Cubs’ season in the next two nights by doing what he has done throughout this postseason.

Of course, Kyle Schwarber might have something to say about that now that he returns to the Cubs’ lineup for Game 6 of the World Series in Cleveland on Tuesday and, possibly, Game 7 on Wednesday as the Cubs try to come back against the Indians.

These might be the three most intriguing – if not decisive – players for either team as this historic World Series makes its final stop, at Progressive Field, with the Indians one victory from a first title in 68 years, the Cubs a twogame streak from their first in 108.

All of which means that sweet relief from generations of heartache and failure for one city’s fan base might have been decided during one seven-day span in July.

“It wasn’t the ideal situation [being traded], but the way it’s worked out, it’s hard for us to complain,” said Miller – the Cubs’ first choice when the Yankees put back-end bullpen lefties Miller and Chapman on the trade market.

“Both of us couldn’t have asked for better places to land.”

The Cubs were in position to reverse those landing spots – or at least keep Miller from becoming the roadblock to a championship he already has proven to be.

When the Cubs balked at including either Schwarber or Javy Baez in a deal, the Cubs shifted focus to rent-a-closer Chapman for a package built around the organization’s top prospect, shortstop Gleyber Torres, and closed that deal July 25.

Seven days later, the Indians sent a top-heavy package of prospects to New York for Miller, a multi-inning horse this postseason, who’s signed through 2018.

Despite conflicting reports, the Cubs never were in play to acquire both, with the Yankees looking to drive value with separate bidding wars.

“To break up our major league team and trade Baez, who could have a huge role, and also given the way we feel

Cubs reliever Aroldis Chapman (clockwise from top), Cubs slugger Kyle Schwarber and Indians reliever Andrew Miller have been key figures in the World Series. about Schwarber,” Cubs general manager Jed Hoyer said, “that was something we focused on: ‘Let’s not touch the core group of guys in order to improve our bullpen at the deadline.’ ” The Yankees might have had a better chance getting a Ricketts sibling in the deal than Schwarber, given the man crush Theo Epstein’s front office has on the lefty slugger.

“We made it clear all along that he wasn’t a guy that was on the table,” Hoyer said. “Not only do we think he’s a legitimate middle-of-the-order bat, but I do think his makeup and his intangibles are exactly what we’re looking for. And if you believe in that you have to practice what you preach. If you believe in makeup like that, and you have a guy like that, it’s hard to deal him.”

That makeup came into play when

Schwarber outworked his rehab schedule, earning a medical green light to bat and run at least six weeks ahead of the original prognosis for his reconstructed left knee – and just in time to become the Cubs’ World Series designated hitter after only four hitless at-bats in the regular season.

“I’m very excited about writing his name in [Tuesday],” said manager Joe Maddon, who got a 3-for-7, two-walk performance in the first two games of the Series from Schwarber after 6½ months between big-league pitches.

As for Baez, he’s one of the biggest reasons the Cubs reached their first World Series in 71 years, earning coMVP honors in the National League Championship Series.

And by the time Chapman notched a career-high eight outs to close Sunday’s

Indians lead series, 3-2

3-2 victory, the Cubs started to look like they might even have wound up with the more desirable reliever.

“He’s an animal,” teammate Kyle Hendricks said.

And Chapman (42 pitches Sunday) might even be available again Tuesday, Maddon said Monday.

But Miller remains looming and rested to counterpunch – having averaged six outs an appearance during a dominant postseason.

And Hoyer knows this whole thing could come down to those two lefties – if not that week in July.

“There’s going to be a comeback at some point in [a game] this series,” he said. “For the most part, there’s a comeback in every series. And that largely comes down to the bullpen.”

in totally blind,” Watling said.

In the Class 4A Huntley Sectional, three Fox Valley Conference schools will compete for a sectional championship: No. 1 seed Huntley, No. 2 Crystal Lake Central and No. 3 Prairie Ridge.

Huntley (27-7) will face No. 5 DeKalb in the first sectional semifinal at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, and Crystal Lake Central (25-8) and Prairie Ridge (20-13) will meet in the second semifinal at 6:30 p.m.

Huntley was the class of the FVC this year, winning its first FVC title with a 14-2 record. The Red Raiders were 4-0 combined against the Tigers and Wolves but first have to get past a DeKalb team that knocked off Cary-Grove for a regional title last week.

Both of Huntley’s losses in the FVC came against C-G, but the Raiders have home-court advantage on their side.

“That’s a huge advantage to us,” said Raiders senior Ally Dion, who helped extend Huntley’s season with 23 kills and 22 digs in a 25-21, 25-27, 27-25 Class 4A Harlem Regional final win over McHenry last week. “We get a lot of fans at our games, and they will help cheer us on.”

Crystal Lake Central and Prairie Ridge met twice this year, with the Tigers winning, 25-17, 25-21, on Sept. 15 and, 25-21, 15-25, 25-17, on Oct. 18. Central is the hotter team with 11 wins in its past 13, while Prairie Ridge was taken to three sets against Hampshire and Crystal Lake South last week at regionals.

Central has been one of the area’s best teams all year despite being one of the youngest with four freshmen (Madde Blake, Camryn Hausler, Olivia Anderson and Victoria Anderson). But a strong group of juniors, including starters Kendall Lownds, Olivia Doak, and Emily and Megan Kelly, has been critical in the Tigers’ advancing this far.

Prairie Ridge, meanwhile, remains one of the area’s most dangerous teams with Emily Baudin, Genesis Sheridan, Erin McNeil, Allie Cole, Jayden Otto, and Mackenzie Garis leading the way.

“Central is scrappy, and they serve aggressive,” Prairie Ridge coach Stefanie Otto said. “Their outsides are pretty powerful, strong and hit pretty aggressive. We definitely have to play more consistent. It all comes down to our ball control, really.”

In Class 1A, Faith Lutheran will be playing in its first sectional semifinal after capturing the school’s first regional title last week with a 25-22, 25-19 win over Harvest Christian.

The fourth-seeded Saints will face sixth-seeded Chicago Morgan Park in a Westminster Christian Sectional semifinal at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday.

“Our seniors have worked so hard, and I wanted them to win this,” Saints coach Ramon Borrero said after winning a regional title. “The rest of the team still has next season, but the seniors don’t.

This is very special for our seniors.”

almost knocked out Prairie Ridge from the playoffs for the second year in a row, falling to the third-seeded Wolves, 29-27, 22-25, 25-21, in a Class 4A Crystal Lake South Regional final.

At one point in the third set, the Gators led, 18-14, but the Wolves battled back for the win.

Still, it was one of South’s best efforts of the Proud Sponsor of season. Prairie Ridge had beaten the Gators Athlete of the Week three times this season before the regional final, all in sweeps.

Class 4A Regional final. It would have been the program’s first regional title since 1997.

The Warriors will lose one of their top players, Ava Pauly, to graduation, but will return their remaining starters.

“I couldn’t be more proud of the passion that they played with; that’s what we’ve been talking about all year,” Warriors coach Lexi Disselhorst said after coming within one point of beating Huntley. “It’s obviously been a rebuilding couple of years. We’re trying to change the culture to where we kind of expect to win and we deserve to be in the gym and compete with these teams.”

Twelve straight regional titles, 20 straight victories (44 of 45 dating to last year) and a 75-4 record over the past two seasons.

And as Marian Central prepares for Tuesday’s Class 3A Woodstock Sectional volleyball semifinal against Resurrection, Hurricanes coach Laura Watling believes there is even more potential looming for a team that hasn’t lost since Sept. 17 and has been nationally ranked throughout the season.

“I still feel like we have more potential for where we can play if we put it all together for an entire match,” said Watling, who has guided Marian to a 23979 record (a .752 winning percentage) in seven-plus seasons.

“So, hopefully, we can hit that stride in the postseason.”

Marian Central (36-1), the defending Class 3A state champion, breezed through the regional round, sweeping Chicago Alcott, 25-6, 25-11, and Vernon Hills, 25-13, 25-9.

Marian has won five sectional titles since Watling took over in 2009, making it to the state semifinals three times.

“This senior class right now has been a Laura Watling coach’s dream,” Watling said. “Even though only three of them had more than two years of varsity experience, it doesn’t faze them. They want it for each other as much as they want it for themselves and for the team, for the school and for the community.”

The three Hurricanes with more than two years of varsity experience are setter McKayla Wuensch, outside hitter Sydney Nemtuda, and right-side hitter Lauren Hanlon. All three have Division I scholarships. Libero Meghan Schwallie, middle blocker Lauren Hanlon and outside hitter Brenna Koch round out the 5-1 attack.

Marian and Resurrection don’t have many common opponents, which makes planning for Tuesday’s match that more challenging.
