Good morning, McHenry County ...

Transparency, fairness under Trump Along the presidential campaign trail, when Donald Trump spoke of the reasons not to trust Hillary Clinton, many times it came back to emails, her private server, Benghazi or classified documents.

He continuously cited details reported by journalists.

I get it – there was plenty of venom spewed at him from journalists, too.

But he depended on them in his campaign.

They sought out the information that led to many of his conclusions.

When it came time for him to meet with President Barack Obama as President-elect Trump this week, however, his team blocked the traditional media pool from traveling with him.

It’s not surprising that Trump or any candidate would attempt to block out the media. That happens often across the spectrum of what we cover.

The key is that the public should find issue with that and demand better.

Oftentimes, it does not.

The same happens with NFL teams and college athletic programs all the time, although with seemingly less at stake.

Many limit access, keep practices and players away from the media, and try to do as much business as possible behind closed doors. Then they send out news releases or post news themselves on their website, attempting to control the flow and content of the reporting.

The same can happen with local government when open meetings law is not followed.

It’s an issue it seems the public doesn’t care about. But it’s an issue that could certainly hurt them as public figures, like Clinton with her private email server, attempting to do public business behind closed doors without any way of monitoring them.

There’s a reason the system is set up to prevent that.

You need independent eyes and ears watching what you can’t see.

The problem with that is trust. Many don’t

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK Jon Styf trust the media. It’s likely fewer do after this election.

It’s our job to prove that mistrust is misplaced. And it’s one of my top goals each day in this job.

We want to report the local news, correctly and fairly. I get plenty of calls or emails from people who don’t feel like we do that.

I attempt to hear all of them, analyze what we have done to make the reader feel that way and address any issue that needs to be addressed moving forward.

One thing I have heard plenty of is that we have been biased toward either presidential candidate. It’s my goal to never do that. But sometimes, on our Nation, State or Opinions pages, I see how people can feel that way.

One story or one day’s paper can sometimes make people feel that way.

Going forward, I will do my best to avoid that.

Trump is about to embark on what could be an incredibly influential presidency.

Despite losing the state of Illinois, he clearly has a lot of support locally.

In McHenry County, Trump won with 71,117 votes to Clinton’s 59,827.

The public is clearly fed up with the status quo.

And while our focus is certainly local over national, we’ll do our best to bring you stories that give a fair take on the work he has done.

His transparency, however, will be key to making that happen.

OFFICERS UP FOR A CHALLENGE Local cops take on No Shave November to earn money for cancer research, other causes

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com Some McHenry County police agencies may start looking a little scruffy, but they’re purposely not shaving for a good cause.

No Shave November, also known as Movember, is an annual event involving the growing of beards and mustaches during November to raise awareness of various cancers, such as prostate cancer.

McHenry Police Chief John Jones and his department are among a handful of police agencies throughout the county participating in No Shave November for the first time.

Typically, police departments are strict when it comes to uniform and appearance, as many forbid any kind of facial hair on officers, and Jones said the McHenry Police Department is no different. But Jones said he is willing to make an exception for a good cause.

“I think I shocked most of them when I allowed them to do it,” Jones said, laughing.

Jones said 28 McHenry police officers

are participating in the No Shave November event. Everyone who is participating was required to donate $20, and all funds raised this month will go to the prostate cancer research fund.

Jones said city of McHenry employees also were invited to participate in the monthlong event, even though most city employees do not have strict appearance requirements.

Jones said that although he had to “loosen his standards a little on grooming for the month,” he believes the department will continue to participate moving forward.

“I think it’s a good way to build camaraderie within the department,” he said.

The Harvard Police Department also is partaking in growing beards but for a local cause. Harvard Police Chief Mark Krause said his department is raising funds in conjunction with its Shop with a Cop program.

Last year was the first year the department took the No Shave November pledge after an officer expressed interest in bringing

McHENRY COUNTY

Board set to approve 2017 budget

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – The McHenry County Board will vote Tuesday evening whether to approve a 2017 budget that bucks a longtime trend of shrinking because of one-time expenses.

The $251.6 million budget that has been on review for the past month represents an increase over the 2016 budget of $231.6 million, which was the smallest county budget in almost a decade. However, for the fifth straight year, the county will not take the inflationary increase that local governments are entitled to under the tax cap.

Projects in next year’s budget that contributed to the overall increase include emergency appropriations to fund replacing the government center’s roof, buying a new 911 system, upgrading emergency dispatch and relocating the Emergency Telephone System Board to give it needed

space.

However, the county’s general fund budget for 2017 is less than it is this year if capital expenses are not factored in.

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

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

But under the tax-cap law, eliminating the levy for a second consecutive year would abolish it altogether, meaning a voter referendum, which created the levy in the first place, would be required to reinstate it. The tax cap limits the increase that local governments can collect

over the previous year’s tax extension to either 5 percent or the rate of inflation, whichever is less.

The consensus of County Board members at a Committee of the Whole meeting Oct. 7 was to bring back the levy and use it for the time being as a way to finance needed capital projects without borrowing money or deciding to once again start taking the inflationary levy increase, which has a compounding effect in future years for taxpayers.

That consensus would not forbid some County Board members from attempting to amend the budget Tuesday to eliminate the levy or further alter it. However, the majority typically frowns on making major changes to the budget and the levy on the night of the vote, with weeks to go before the Dec. 1 start of the new fiscal year.

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

ALGONQUIN

Trustees mull ban on video gaming cafés

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – Algonquin trustees are considering an ordinance that could ban video gaming cafés from the village.

The proposal comes in light of recent petitions for video gaming cafés and discussions the Village Board has had regarding them, according to a memorandum from village attorney Kelly Cahill.

“By and large, the board was in favor of establishing parameters to ensure that video gaming doesn’t become the main purpose of opening up an establishment,” Trustee Jim Steigert said Thursday.

At the Oct. 25 Algonquin Committee of the Whole meeting, trustees and Village President John Schmitt decided, in a 6-1 vote, to not move forward with a proposal for Mia’s Café. The café planned to open at 4120 E. Lake Cook Road and have video gaming terminals and food prepared by Mandile’s Italian Restaurant Banquets and Catering.

Officials opposed to the café said the business’s main focus was on video gaming rather than food.

“We want to establish a framework so that if somebody comes to the village, at least we have a standard that they can look at and they can make a decision

“We want to establish a framework so that if somebody comes to the village, at least we have a standard that they can look at and they can make a decision without having to hum through all the hoops.”

Jim Steigert

Algonquin Village Board trustee without having to hum through all the hoops,” Steigert said.

That framework could include a ratio of how many video gaming terminals to seats an establishment in the village can have, he said.

According to the proposed ordinance, a video gaming café is defined as “an establishment whose primary or a major focus of the establishment is video gaming and the service of alcohol.”

Factors to be considered when determining whether the business is a video gaming café include the layout and design of the establishment, the prepara-

tion and variety of food and beverages offered, and the number of employees at the establishment and their proposed function, the ordinance states.

Steigert said video gaming was not wanted by some trustees in the village to begin with because of the family atmosphere Algonquin portrays. It was allowed in 2013 to help a handful of already-established businesses in the village be competitive and survive, he said.

Trustee Debby Sosine said she hopes the ordinance will make it more clearcut to businesses on what the village is looking for.

“We try to do what we can do to help businesses and help them succeed, but we also want to make sure that we keep the standards of the community that we have set for many years,” she said.

Bob Smith, the only trustee who voted in favor of Mia’s Café, said this will clearly define what’s allowed in the village and what’s not when it comes to video gaming.

The ordinance would not affect any existing businesses, Assistant Village Manager Mike Kumbera said.

The item is on the agenda for Tuesday’s Village Board meeting, which will be at 7:30 p.m. at the Ganek Municipal Center, 2200 Harnish Drive, Algonquin.

Taking home gold

Count on Me...

Man places 1st in national team skydiving competition

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com ISLAND LAKE – Matt Congdon has jumped out of an airplane more than 1,000 times, and he doesn’t plan to stay in his assigned seat anytime soon.

Congdon, 30, and his skydiving team recently took the gold medal in a national skydiving competition in Arizona. The Island Lake man said he got started with diving after a friend dragged him along to a jump at Skydive Midwest. From then on, he was hooked.

“I like the freedom of it,” he said.

“Being out in the open skies – there is nothing like it. There is nothing like the feeling of flying.”

Congdon has completed more than 1,000 jumps and said when he realized there was a competitive side to the sport, he knew he had to get involved.

“I’ve always been a competitive person,” he said. “I’ve always been involved in sports, so it was natural that

“I like the freedom of it.

Being out in the open skies – there is nothing like it.

There is nothing like the feeling of flying.”

Matt Congdon

Island Lake resident once I started skydiving and found out about the competitive side, to involve myself with it.”

The 2016 U.S. Parachute Association National Skydiving Championships took place at the end of October in Arizona. Congdon and his team took gold in the advanced class, moving up from their intermediate division win last year. Next year, they plan to compete in the open division, where they will face professional skydivers.

The competition entails a jump from more than 2 miles above ground.

The four-person teams must make geometric formations while free falling before opening the parachutes. Congdon said he had to get comfortable with diving itself before advancing to the formations.

“I got started doing the competitive aspect once I had over 100 jumps,” he said. “So I was comfortable with skydiving, and it’s just a matter of working together with a team.”

Congdon and his team practice throughout the year and at times can complete 20 jumps in a weekend – which amounts to about 20 minutes of actual practice, he said. During the week, the team occasional practices at the indoor skydiving facility in Rosemont.

“In the beginning of the season, it’s more quantity over quality,” he said.

“But when we get closer to the competition, it’s about every jump being perfect.”

Have you ever lost your footing on wet or icy pavement causing you to fling your arms out and your heart to race? Or have you ever gotten up in the middle of the night stumbling in the dark to the bathroom only to catch yourself from falling by grabbing the furniture?

Not surprisingly, the chart shows that the number of seconds decreases with age. That’s because as we get older, our eyesight tends to diminish, muscles tend to shrink, and our reaction time may be a bit slower. But there’s good news, because…

If you have, then you know how frightening losing your balance can be.

You can improve your balance regardless of age!

Hi I am Mike Morley, physical therapist. Did you know each year, one in three seniors fall? That’s 33% of people over 65 years old who will fall THIS YEAR ALONE! These falls can lead to serious injury such as fractures or head trauma. According to the CDC, falls are the leading cause of emergency room visits, fractured hips and nursing home admissions among seniors.

Single Leg Standing Balance Test You may want to have someone nearby to watch you as you try this.

• Stand on a hard floor near a table or countertop for support.

• Bend one knee and lift the foot – if you’re left-handed, stand on your left leg and lift the right foot; do the opposite if you’re right-handed. You don’t need to lift it high, just enough to keep it off the floor.

• Now without holding onto anything slowly count the number of seconds you can hold that position without putting your foot back down.

• Repeat the test 3 times, and then add up your total time and divide it by 3 to find your average balance time.

(For example, if test 1 was 4 seconds, test 2 was 8 seconds, and test 3 was 6 seconds, you’d add up 4, 8, and 6 to get 18. Divide by 3, and your average balance time is 6 seconds.)

• You can try retaking this same test with your eyes closed for a greater challenge.

How long should you be able to stand on one leg?

Eyes Open Eyes Closed Age Balance Time Age Balance Time 40-59 25-27 sec 40-59 15-20 sec 60-69 20-25 sec 60-69 9-12 sec 70-79 10-15 sec 70-79 7-8 sec 80 5-6 sec 80 4-5 sec SM-CL0415977

Harvard police officers Ed Kohn (from left), Verle Leard and Tyson Bauman pose for a photo outside the department. The officers are participating in No Shave November to raise money for their Shop with a Cop event.

Continued from page A3

Shop with a Cop to a location in Harvard. He wanted to make the program more accessible to the community and the officers, and he wanted to encourage greater participation, Krause said.

Police officers paid a “fine” of $50 to refrain from shaving for the month, and the department raised just less than $1,000 in those donations alone, Krause said.

Krause said people don’t often realize the time it takes to shave on a daily basis, especially for police officers who have been in law enforcement for 25 or 30 years.

“It’s funny to hear officers talk about the extra five or 10 minutes in the day now that they don’t have to shave,” he said.

This year, community members can co-sponsor an officer or donate to the cause through a drop box at the dispatch center in Harvard. Krause said getting the community involved in efforts such as these is essential, especially for small town police departments such as theirs.

“Being a small town police department, community is essential. We have to be visible with the community,” he said.

Elton John greets Leon Russell on stage during their joint concert Nov. 3, 2010, at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles. Russell, who sang, wrote and produced some of rock ’n’ roll’s top records, died Sunday at age 74.

Rocker Leon Russell dies at 74 in Nashville The ASSOCIATED PRESS NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Leon Russell, who performed, sang and produced some of rock ’n’ roll’s top records, has died. He was 74.

Russell’s wife, Jan Bridges, said in a statement that her husband died in his sleep Sunday at their Nashville home. She said Russell had heart bypass surgery in July and had been planning on resuming touring in January.

His final performance was July 10 in Nashville.

Besides his music, Russell was known for his striking appearance: wispy white hair halfway down his back and that covered much of his face.

“A true patriarch has been lost,” said Beau Charron, Russell’s guitar and pedal steel player, said in a statement. “Leon Russell fathered many musicians and fans thru life and love with his music. On his own terms. My years with him have shaped me in profound ways, and I am heartbroken to lose my mentor and friend.”

Tributes poured in from entertainers who appreciated Russell’s gospel-infused southern boogie piano rock, blues and country music.

On Twitter, Cat Stevens wrote that Russell was “a great influence and songwriter.” Charlie Daniels said Russell “left a lot of great music behind.” And Richard Marx tweeted: “What an extraordinary messenger of

beauty he was.”

Russell played keyboard for the Los Angeles studio team known as the Wrecking Crew, helping producer Phil Spector develop his game-changing wall of sound approach in the 1960s.

He wrote Joe Cocker’s “Delta Lady” and in 1969 put together Cocker’s “Mad Dogs and Englishmen” tour, which spawned a documentary film and a hit double album.

As a musician, primarily a pianist, he played on The Beach Boys’ “California Girls” and landmark “Pet Sounds” album, Jan and Dean’s “Surf City,” the Ronettes’ “Be My Baby,” and the Byrds’ “Mr. Tambourine Man.” He also played guitar and bass.

Russell produced and played on recording sessions for Bob Dylan, Frank Sinatra, Ike and Tina Turner, the Rolling Stones and many others. He arranged the Turners’ “River Deep, Mountain High.”

He also recorded hit songs like “Tight Rope” and “Lady Blue” and participated in “The Concert for Bangladesh.” John Lennon, Ringo Starr and George Harrison played on his first album, “Leon Russell.”

Later, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin and Willie Nelson were among those to cover Russell’s ballad “A Song for You” that he wrote for the album.

His concerts often ended with a rousing version of “Jumpin’ Jack Flash.” In 1973, Billboard Magazine listed Russell as the top concert attraction in the world.

Albert G. Hicks, a long time Marengo resident, passed away at the age of 74, on November 9, 2016, unexpectedly, when out for his daily walk.

He was born in Schenectady, NY, to Merton and Marie (Fowler) Hicks.

When young his family moved to Edmore, Michigan.

Upon graduating from Michigan Technological University in 1965, he was employed by Arnold Magnetic Technologies Corporation as a metallurgical engineer in Marengo, IL. He was dedicated to his job for 42 years, retiring in 2007. He loved his work and the people he worked with, continuing to consult as needed upon retirement.

Over the years he served in various clubs, organizations and volunteer roles. He was formerly in the Marengo Lion’s Club, a member of the Marengo Masonic Lodge A.F.&A.M #138, a former Tebala Shriner, served on the Marengo Park District Board, former member of the City of Marengo Planning and Zoning Committee, served as Trustee for St. John’s Lutheran Church and is a retired Director of Prairie Community Bank. He currently volunteered at the M.O.R.E. Center (Food Pantry) in Marengo.

He is survived by his wife of 49 years, Sandra (nee Wolf ) Hicks; children, Lesley (Jay) Pace and Mollie (Mike) Huron; grandchildren, Anna and Jonah Pace; a brother, Harry (Pat) Hicks and a sister Patricia (Douglas) Donovan; a niece and nephews; great nieces and nephews and many very good friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Merton and Marie Hicks; and Cynthia Hicks, a sister-in-law.

Al enjoyed time spent with grandchildren, camping, bicycling, reading and spending any time he could with family, including family vacations and time with his dogs.

You couldn’t ask for a better husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend.

He was a genuinely kind man who had a great smile, loving spirit and was loved by all.

STATE

Trump voters back leader for various reasons

By SARA BURNETT and CARLA K. JOHNSON The Associated Press

CHICAGO – The voters who made possible Donald Trump’s victory included people who consider themselves moderates and came around to Trump after supporting other candidates.

Some live in the “blue wall” of states in the Upper Midwest that, until Tuesday, backed every Democratic presidential candidate since Bill Clinton won the presidency in 1992. Some voted for Democrats in the past. Some kept their Trump support secret until after the election to avoid scorn from acquaintances and co-workers.

Here’s a look at voters who helped usher in a Trump presidency, and why they did so: ••• In Michigan, Patrick Burke supported Ohio Gov. John Kasich in the GOP primary but “jumped on in full support” of Trump as he bested the field.

The 60-year-old automotive and business consultant lives in suburban Detroit’s Macomb County, which was home to the “Reagan Democrats” in the 1980s. In 2012, Obama carried Macomb County by 4 percentage points. Trump enjoyed an 11 point-plus margin there.

Trump stands for “making sure that if you work hard that your government is there to help you rather than hurt you,” Burke said, noting that Trump’s message “of prosperity and reducing the debt and a strong military and reforming immigration really resonated” with blue-collar workers.

ILLINOIS ROUNDUP

News from across the state

1

Cullerton agrees to attend Rauner’s budget meeting

SPRINGFIELD – A least one Democratic leader in Illinois’ legislature is accepting Gov. Bruce Rauner’s call for a post-election meeting to discuss ending an epic budget standoff.

A spokesman for John Cullerton said Sunday the Illinois Senate president will be at Monday’s meeting. John Patterson said the Republican governor called it, so it’s up to him to set the agenda. He added that “we are interested in seeing what the governor has to say.”

A drive through Burke’s city Wednesday found more Trump signs than Hillary Clinton, and some took their allegiance to the extreme: One home’s front lawn featured a large wooden basket with life-sized, scarecrow-like people sticking out and a sign labeling it “The Deplorables,” – a reference to Clinton’s description of half of Trump’s supporters as a “basket of deplorables.” The lawn display also featured a sign that reads: “Climb In There is Room For All.” Burke said Trump isn’t perfect, but he believes the most divisive and vulgar rhetoric “was just all talk.”

Patrick “I like the fact that Burke he’s been successful. He has built some incredible things. He has had his failures but he’s had huge successes,” Burke said. “I think that Trump has the vision that we need to have now to get us pointed back in the right direction.”

••• Iraq War veteran Rebecca Zbichorski, 28, of Milwaukee, is a first-time voter who supported Trump because “America needs a kick in the behind.”

A factory worker who gets her health care through the Veterans Health Administration, Zbichorski enlisted in the military at 18 and served nearly eight years as a Marine. She said she sees Trump as a “regular type of guy” who doesn’t care what anyone thinks, which made him the best candidate to give U.S. government the “shake-up”

she thinks it needs.

Health care was her top issue as a voter, she said. Identifying neither as liberal or conservative, she would prefer Canada-style national health care.

She notes Trump once spoke favorably of Canada’s system before his current support for working with Congress to repeal and replace President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act. Her family, she said, has had a “nonstop hassle of getting insurance” under Obama’s health care law.

She unapologetically keeps a copy of Trump’s book “Crippled America” in full view of her co-workers. It was a way to broadcast her position, which she sums up with a social media meme, minus the hashtag: “I’m voting for Trump.

SorryNotSorry.”

“He’s the slap in the face. He’s the wake-up call,” Zbichorski said. “Let the man do what he’s got to do.”

••• Eileen Barlow, a 56-year-old small business owner and part-time bartender, voted for Trump because he’s a businessman and not a politician. He’s also not a Clinton.

“My grandfather always said that what we need is a businessman in the presidential office, and that’s what Donald Trump is,” Barlow said as she stood behind the bar at the local American Legion post in Naperville, readying for a busy night that included a meat raffle.

In her voting lifetime, Barlow says she supported Republicans about 60 percent of the time and Democrats roughly 40 percent. Most of her family members are Democrats. But Bill Clinton was her

It was unclear whether Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan would attend. A message left for his spokesman Sunday wasn’t immediately returned.

Rauner said Friday he hoped lawmakers will resume work to resolve the budget impasse when they briefly return to Springfield.

Illinois hasn’t had a budget in more than 16 months. That’s resulted in cuts, including to social service providers.

broader data and randomized clinical trials of its use remain very limited, the Chicago Tribune reported.

Officials said there have been very few overt problems with the program since the first dispensaries opened in Illinois on Nov. 9, 2015. Police said they haven’t seen any significant complications and that no patients have had their licenses rescinded for using the drug illegally.

Opponents of the medical marijuana program continue to raise concerns about negative effects, harm from smoking, use by minors and increasing traffic crashes.

“It sends a message to our young people that there’s not a problem with this drug and it’s perfectly safe,” said Dr. Kirk Moberg, medical director of the Illinois Institute for Addiction Recovery in Peoria.

Medical marijuana use grows slow, steady in Illinois

CHICAGO – Illinois is marking its first year of medical marijuana sales as more states voted on Election Day to allow legal use of the drug.

Despite anecdotes of medical marijuana’s positive influence on patients,

“tipping point.” Barlow voted for him twice. Then came the scandal over his sexual relationship with Monica Lewinsky “After what happened with him, it turned me off the Clintons permanently. Not just that he did it. But admit it.

Don’t stand there and lie to us,” she said.

Obama’s signature health care law was another reason. Both Barlow and her husband are small business owners, and between them have three adult kids. Come Feb. 1, they will be paying just shy of $1,400 a month in health insurance premiums for the two of them, Eileen with a $2,500 deductible Barlow per person.

“The Affordable Care Act is a mess,” she said. “We’re trying to save for retirement. We paid for our own kids’ college – we’re still paying for it because we didn’t want our kids to be loaded down with debt. And now [Democrats] are talking about giving away free college? Who’s going to pay for that?”

Like a lot of Trump supporters, she said, she kept quiet about backing Trump: “You don’t want to be ridiculed, mocked, told you’re stupid.”

Illinois is a reliably left-leaning state, and Clinton, who was born in suburban Chicago, easily won it Tuesday. She also won DuPage County, where Barlow lives. But Trump resonated with voters elsewhere in a way Mitt Romney didn’t, taking 12 more Illinois counties than the 2012 GOP nominee.

Hunter finds body of missing woman in crashed pickup

PEORIA – Authorities said a central Illinois woman reported missing about two weeks ago has been found dead in her crashed pickup truck along a Peoria County road.

County Coroner Johnna Ingersoll told The Peoria Journal Star that a hunter found Jamie Harroun’s body Saturday morning in the wreckage of her truck along a road in western Peoria County.

An autopsy was scheduled to be performed Sunday. Ingersoll said the Mackinaw woman’s pickup truck apparently “left the road, went through a field, down a hill and struck an embankment.”

She said Harroun may have been headed to Pekin at the time of the crash. Harroun was last seen Oct. 31 in Galesburg.

Bannon, Priebus named to Trump’s White House staff

By JONATHAN LEMIRE and LAURIE KELLMAN The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – President-elect Donald Trump made his first two key personnel appointments on Sunday, one an overture to Republican circles by naming GOP chief Reince Priebus as his White House chief of staff, the other a shot across the bow of the Washington establishment by tabbing Breitbart news executive Stephan Bannon as chief strategist and senior counselor.

The two men had made up the president-elect’s chief of staff shortlist, and while Priebus received that job, Bannon’s post also is expected to wield significant clout. The media executive with ties to the alt-right and white nationalist movement was given top billing in the press release announcing their appointments.

Trump’s hires were, at first glance, contradictory, though they fit a pattern of the celebrity businessman creating a veritable Rorschach test that allowed his supporters to see what they wanted. Priebus, who lashed the RNC to Trump this summer despite some intraparty objections, is a GOP operative with deep expertise of the Washington establishment that Trump has vowed to shake up. He has close ties to House Speaker Paul Ryan, a fellow Wisconsinite.

“I am very grateful to the president-elect for this opportunity to serve him and this nation as we work to create an economy that works for everyone, secure our borders, repeal and replace Obamacare and destroy radical Islamic terrorism,” Priebus said in the statement an-

nouncing his appointment.

Bannon, meanwhile, helped transform the Breitbart news site into the leading mouthpiece of the party’s anti-establishment wing, which helped fuel the businessman’s political rise.

Ryan has been one of his most frequent targets.

“Steve and Reince are highly qualified leaders who worked well together on our campaign and led us to a historic victory,” Trump said. “Now I will have them both with me in the White House as we work to make America great again.”

Neither Priebus nor Bannon bring policy experience to their new White House roles. Chiefs of staff in particular play a significant role in policy making, serving as a liaison to Cabinet agencies and deciding what information makes it to the president’s desk. They’re often one of the last people in the room with the president as major decisions are made.

Trump’s adult children, who serve as influential advisers to the president-elect, are said to have been concerned about having a controversial figure in the chief of staff role and backed Priebus for the job.

In announcing the appointments, Trump said Priebus and Bannon would work as “equal partners” – effectively creating two power centers in the West Wing. The arrangement is risky and could leave ambiguity over who makes final decisions.

Trump has long encouraged rivalries, both in business and in his presidential campaign.

He cycled through three campaign managers during his White House run, creating a web of competing alliances among staffers.

Vice President-elect Mike Pence salutes veterans during a Veterans Day ceremony Friday at Camp Atterbury in Edinburgh, Ind. years.

“The vice president was so influential he barely spoke in meetings because he knew he would see the president alone and could convey his thoughts privately,” Fleischer said.

“Only the truly powerful can be that silent. And when he did talk, it was pretty impactful.”

It is far too soon to say if Pence will have a similar voice in Trump’s White House, but naming him the chairman of the transition team broadcasts to

others in Washington that he will be a key player.

“If you’re given an important role in the transition, it sends a signal to other people that you matter,” said Joel K. Goldstein, a law professor at St. Louis University who is widely considered one of the nation’s leading experts on the sometimes obscure history of the vice presidency. “Other political actors want to deal with you due to your perceived access and influence to the president.”

EU awaits Trump to assess future of trans-Atlantic ties

By LORNE COOK

The Associated Press BRUSSELS – European Union foreign ministers conceded Sunday that they will have to wait to see what moves U.S. president-elect Donald Trump makes in the weeks ahead and work on strengthening Europe’s role in world affairs until the future of trans-Atlantic relations becomes clearer.

At informal dinner talks in Brussels, the ministers underlined the importance of respecting the choice of U.S. voters and making contact with Trump’s transition team.

“We’re going to have to see what positions the new administration takes in coming months,” Belgian Foreign Minister Didier Reynders said after the meeting ended. “The debate right now is to see how the European Union can boost its voice in the world.”

EU nations are anxious to see how

many of Trump’s campaign announcements – like isolationist positions on security, his rejection of international trade pacts and refusal to criticize Russian President Vladimir Putin – might translate into real policy.

But Reynders denied that it was an emergency meeting or that Europe is in disarray. “What would be bizarre would be talk about the American elections around the world but not among foreign ministers,” he said.

Italian Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni noted that Trump does not take office until January, and that Europe has plenty on its plate until then, such as the refugee emergency and economic issues.

“Europe should be taking care of its own problems and not worrying what is happening on the other side of the Atlantic,” he said.

Given Trump’s clear opposition to major trade pacts, EU officials are all

but certain that the massive Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, or TTIP, will have to be renegotiated, if any life remains in the project at all.

Perhaps the most pressing problem is to understand how Trump wants to deal with Putin.

The EU has imposed sanctions on Russia over its annexation of Crimea and destabilizing role elsewhere in Ukraine. Some of those measures, including asset freezes on individuals and organizations, come up for renewal in January.

EU leaders are due to discuss them at a summit in Brussels on Dec. 15-16, but any signal from Trump about a warming of U.S. relations with Russia is likely to embolden already-reluctant countries like Germany, Italy and others to push for an end the sanctions regime, diplomats said.

The foreign ministers meet again

formally on Monday, to discuss strained ties with membership candidate country Turkey, the conflict in Syria and Libya, and defense cooperation with the NATO military alliance.

Ahead of Sunday’s dinner, NATO’s secretary-general appealed for trans-Atlantic unity and warned that “going it alone” wasn’t an option for either Europe or the U.S. Writing in Britain’s Observer newspaper, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg insisted that Europe and the U.S. must work together in the face of security challenges.

The president-elect has suggested that Washington could abandon its NATO commitments, which include mutual defense in case of attack.

“We face the greatest challenges to our security in a generation. This is no time to question the value of the partnership between Europe and the United States,” Stoltenberg wrote.

NEW YORK – President-elect Donald Trump’s decision to empower his running mate Mike Pence to steer the presidential transition gives the soonto-be vice president a powerful hand in shaping the incoming government and could foreshadow that he will play an outsized role in the White House.

Pence’s ascension is in line with a recent trend toward influential vice presidents and appears similar to the last vice president who was handed the keys to a presidential transition: Dick Cheney.

As the nation was embroiled in the recount after the 2000 election, George W. Bush informally entrusted Cheney to begin building the government even before the outcome was settled in favor of the Republican ticket.

Some of the work was done sitting around Cheney’s kitchen table in McLean, Virginia, remembered Ari Fleischer, who became Bush’s first press secretary.

“This is a big test for Pence,” Fleischer told The Associated Press.

“If it goes well, it will portend a bigger job for him in the White House.”

Cheney clearly passed that test and became one of the most powerful vice presidents in recent memory, particularly during Bush’s first term.

Cheney not only ran Bush’s vice presidential search team – eventually picking himself – he stocked the administration with veteran Republicans, many of whom he had known for

It also gives the vice president a chance to put his own stamp on the administration. While Trump ran as a political outsider and was not shy in burning bridges to establishment Washington, Pence is a popular GOP figure who may opt to select longtime allies for key roles.

“Those who get new jobs may feel beholden to the vice president and feel responsive to him,” said Goldstein.

“It’s a way of guaranteeing a degree of loyalty.”

Unlike Bush and Cheney, who were friends for years, or Bill Clinton and Al Gore, who were both of the same generation of moderate Southern Democrats, Trump and Pence did not have much of a relationship before the celebrity businessman selected the Indiana governor to be his running mate.

Trump then waffled, having second thoughts about the choice and asking aides if he could replace him.

But those close to Trump say he and Pence, a dyed-in-the-wool social conservative who also served in Congress, have forged a friendship and there is little doubt that the selection of the Indiana governor – as opposed to embattled New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie – sent a reassuring signal to some mainstream Republicans who previously been ill at ease about the incendiary nominee.

Pence’s closing argument was that it was time “for Republicans to come home” and Trump won a higher percentage of Republican votes than his opponent Hillary Clinton did from Democrats, according to exit polls.

A plaque commemorating the victims of last year’s Paris attacks, which targeted the Bataclan concert hall as well as a series of bars and killed 130 people, was unveiled by French President Francois Hollande and Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo during a ceremony Sunday next to the “La Belle Equipe” bar and restaurant in Paris, France.

France marks 1 year since Paris attacks The ASSOCIATED PRESS

PARIS – Less insouciant, more policed – France is a changed place since Islamic State extremists killed 130 people in the country’s deadliest attacks a year ago. Fearing it’s becoming more divided, too, survivors and victims’ families marked Sunday’s anniversary of the violence by pleading for national unity instead.

Tourism is hurting, armed forces roam streets and France still is under a state of emergency that rights groups call abusive and ineffective – and that the prime minister now says may be extended yet again.

“We always have this fear that weighs heavily in our hearts. We always try to be careful. And every time we pass by here, we think of them,” said Sabrina Nedjadi, paying respects Sunday at two cafes in her diverse eastern Paris neighborhood targeted in the attacks.

At midday, hundreds of balloons were released to honor the memories of the victims; at dusk, paper lanterns were released into the Canal Saint Martin, bearing red, white and blue lights representing the French tricolor. Onlookers, including many families with children, lined the canal and surrounding bridges, watching silently as the lanterns drifted.

Some fear that France itself is adrift, its government unable to defeat the amorphous extremist enemy even as authorities encroach on liberties the French hold dear.

While French warplanes are targeting IS strongholds in Iraq and Syria, the state of emergency at home allows broadened police powers to search homes and monitor communications.

But it could not prevent further attacks on France over the past year, including a truck rampage in Nice by a man claiming allegiance to IS. “Yes, terrorism will strike us again,” Prime Minister Manuel Valls warned this weekend The International Federation for Human Rights warned in a recent report: “France is now in a situation where an ‘exceptional’ regime is becoming permanent, in the name of combating terrorism. But there is little evidence that this approach is working and it comes at a cost to fundamental rights.”

As silence descended Sunday on Paris for a series of commemorations, the son of the first victim of the attacks spoke out for tolerance in the face of hate.

Manuel Dias, an immigrant from Portugal, was killed by a suicide bomber outside the national stadium during an international match Nov. 13, 2015.

Under heavy security, President Francois Hollande unveiled a plaque in his memory Sunday near the Stade de France. Dias’ son, Michael, said his father was “living proof that integration is possible, necessary” to end such violence.

Learning to live again after extremists killed his father was “a personal challenge, but it concerns us all,” Dias said. “Long live tolerance, long live intelligence, long live France.”

38-year-old hoping to swim the Atlantic Ocean from Africa to South America a swimming pool in Belgium,” Hooper told The Associated Press. “Ever since ... I’ve had this affinity with water. It was the calmest I’ve ever felt.”

Hooper said he had a bout of depression about 3½ years ago and decided to turn his life around for his daughter. So he looked to water.

“Nobody had swum a full ocean.

More people have landed on the moon than have tried this, so at that point I thought maybe this is my calling,” said Hooper. “If I can inspire myself, other people and raise money for charity, why not do it?”

Inspired by British explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes, Hooper said he hopes to motivate others, especially children, to swim.

Ben Hooper, 38, a former policeman from the United Kingdom, gestures Sunday before his swimming expedition across the Atlantic Ocean in Dakar, Senegal. Hooper has been planning for more than three years to become the first person to swim 1,635 nautical miles from Senegal to Brazil.

EXAM, X-RAYS & FIRST TREATMENT

Medicare & Medicaid patients may not qualify for this offer.

Funding for the expedition has taken time, and the launch was set back several times as various crew members dropped out and the boats faced mechanical issues.

“This will be a major achievement overall,” said Nigel Taylor-Schofield, the captain of Big Blue. “If anybody can accomplish this, it would be Ben. He is very determined.”

The crew, including a paramedic, will track the miles, and Hooper has said if he gets to Brazil with the help of currents, he will swim until he fulfills the full Atlantic mileage.

The challenges, be it marine life, dehydration, and more, will be vast, but Hooper says his biggest fear is letting the team and his daughter down.

He’ll listen to a playlist on customized earphones that he said will include Eurotrash music, Eminem and The Script’s “Hall of Fame.” Hooper also will wear various gear that helps camouflage him from sharks, and a tracking device so supporters can follow his nearly five-month swim online.

Around 10:30 a.m. on the beach outside the Monaco Plage hotel in Dakar, Hooper and the crew were ready.

“See you in Brazil,” he said, before eventually swimming off into the sunlit waters toward his goal.

DAKAR, Senegal – Former British police officer Ben Hooper hopes to make history by swimming every mile of the Atlantic Ocean from Africa to South America. After more than three years of preparation, he set off on Sunday.

The 38-year-old walked down a beach in Dakar and into the Atlantic Ocean, launching a swim for 1,635 nautical miles, or nearly 2,000 land miles, from Senegal to Brazil.

“This is for my daughter,” said Hooper, who filled a water bottle with sand to keep for the 8-year-old who he said inspired the swim. “It’s been a long time coming.”

Flanked by two boats and a crew of less than a dozen, Hooper aims to be the first person to swim every mile of the Atlantic Ocean from continent to continent, stepping on land again in March.

He said he trained three years as he gathered a crew for the Big Blue, the main boat on which he will eat and sleep when he is not swimming for about eight hours each day through waters infested with sharks and jellyfish.

Water has loomed large in his life.

“I nearly drowned when I was 5 in

Donald Trump, the statesman Congratulations, Mr. Trump. You’re hired.

The presidency is the biggest job America has to offer, and come Jan. 20, it’s yours. We wish you every success. All of us who live in this great nation depend on strong leadership from you now.

In winning the election you have proved many millions of your supporters right. They said you heard their concerns, while Hillary Clinton and establishment figures in government, media and pop culture did not.

We’ve questioned whether your temperament, experience and values are right for this office.

We’d like nothing better than to be proved wrong.

You made a strong start with your elegant victory speech early Wednesday. You pledged “to bind the wounds of division” and to be “president for all Americans.” Those are noble goals, ones we share.

As you build your Cabinet, we hope its members reflect those aspirations, that they indeed work with you in building a government that works for everyone.

We, too, will use this time to consider anew what lessons we take from this long campaign and the results it produced on Election Day. Will establishment figures, from both the Democratic and Republican parties, who dismissed the concerns of Trump supporters re-examine their hostility, and look for ways to bridge cultural chasms?

Now that the election is over, it’s imperative that all Americans, including Republican leaders, broad-minded Democrats and Trump supporters alike, seek out their “better angels” and recommit to what’s best for America.

We exhort them to chart a way forward that truly will make Americans safe and secure, that will more equitably distribute economic prosperity, that will inspire free enterprise, personal liberty and a stronger sense of shared community.

Mr. Trump, we call on you to show the way, to lead the country toward these broadly shared goals in ways consistent with the constitutional ideals that have served the United States for more than two centuries. That will take selflessness and leadership by example to build unity and equal opportunity.

We are going to be hopeful. We are going to be aspirational for you and for our country. This election gives you the opportunity to prove yourself a statesman.

We very much hope you do.

Politics and the U.S. Supreme Court

There is plenty of time, in the upcoming lame-duck session of Congress, to give President Obama’s nominee for the Supreme Court, Judge Merrick Garland, a hearing and put his nomination to a vote. That vote should be favorable: Garland is able, moderate, respected and seasoned, an appellate jurist who has previously been confirmed, with significant Republican support, for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

Of course, this will not happen, because it does not suit Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and his fellow Republicans.

Garland’s nomination should have been considered and voted on in March when Obama sent his name to the Senate as a replacement for Justice Antonin Scalia.

That did not happen because McConnell argued that the voters’ choice for president in November should get the pick.

This was a gamble on a GOP victory in the fall; and there

is no denying that, in political terms, it has paid off. Contrary to predictions that voters would punish GOP obstructionism, they appear to have rewarded it.

President-elect Donald Trump will choose Scalia’s successor next year, a GOP Senate undoubtedly will confirm him – and the court will, in all likelihood, shift rightward rather than left in the coming years. Someday McConnell’s example may be invoked against his side – those who practice situational ethics must be prepared to have situational ethics practiced against them – but there’s no arguing with his success.

Except to say, perhaps quaintly, that we don’t regard political success as the only relevant measurement here. In addition to the personal injustice to Garland, the majority leader’s ploy wrought harm to basic norms of democratic accountability. Those should have dictated respect for the majority will, as expressed in the incumbency of Obama – not an-

ticipatory deference to whatever might happen in November. Any other rule is inherently unstable, as became evident in the waning days of Campaign 2016; when it appeared that Hillary Clinton, not Trump, might be the winner, Republican politicians started moving the goalposts, suggesting that they might not approve any replacement for Scalia, or even fill subsequent vacancies, until the GOP had regained control of the White House.

In support of his position, McConnell cited similar musings by then-Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Delaware, during 1992, which was then-President George H.W. Bush’s final year in office. To that, we can only reply that this purported “Biden Rule” never should have been treated as a precedent, and would not have been if Republicans had maintained this year the objections to it that they voiced in 1992. Two wrongs don’t make a right, not even in politics.

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.

– The Washington Post

By Travis M. Andrews The Washington Post

“Even though it all went wrong “I’ll stand before the Lord of Song “With nothing on my tongue but “Hallelujah” The dark:

“Maybe there’s a God above “But all I’ve ever learned from love “Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya “And it’s not a cry that you hear at night “It’s not somebody who’s seen the light “It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah”

Cohen went with the version bursting with joyful bravado for the album, relegating the dark ending to an earlier verse.

When they finished recording the song, Cohen’s producer, John Lissauer, said everyone in the room was stunned.

“We were like: ‘Whoa, this is a standard. This is an important song,’” Lissauer said.

In this April 17, 2009, file photo, Leonard Cohen performs during the first day of the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in Indio, Calif. Cohen, the gravelly-voiced Canadian singer-songwriter, died Thursday. 2016. He was 82.

Furthermore, when he and Cohen listened to the final mix of “Various Positions,” they were thrilled.

“This is special. This is it,” Lissauer recalled thinking. “This will be the record that’s going to do it for Leonard in the States.”

That excitement took a nose-dive when Walter Yetnikoff, the head of the music division at Columbia Records, Cohen’s label, heard the album and questioned Cohen’s talent.

“Leonard, we know you’re great.

We just don’t know if you’re any good,” he said, according to Cohen.

What he didn’t tell the singer was that he wasn’t releasing the album in the United States. Cohen learned that when he picked up a copy of Columbia’s catalogue of recent releases.

In 1985, “Various Positions” was released worldwide – save for in America, where it would finally be released in 1986 by an extremely minor label called Passport.

At the time, it almost seemed as if Yetnikoff may have been correct.

The album – which as noted in his biography “was largely ignored by the UK music press” – bombed. It charted at 52 in Britain, low for Cohen, and it never made the charts in the United States.

In particular, “Hallelujah,” which Lissauer said he “thought it the best single I’ve ever made for a serious artist,” was not even released as a single, after “Dance Me to the End of Love” flopped.

Then, something astounding happened.

About 30 years later, the song has been covered by more than 300 artists, including living legends such as Willie Nelson and the Nobel Prize-winning Bob Dylan. In 2010, K.D. Lang performed it at the Opening Ceremonies of the 2010 Winter Olympics, in Vancouver.

Bono, Justin Timberlake and Matt Morris, Neil Diamond, and Jake Shimabukuro – they all have versions.

The Canadian magazine Maclean’s has called it “pop music’s closest thing to a sacred text.”

For all its treatments, though, the cover that returned the sleeping song to the American pop culture consciousness after 10 years, was the electric guitar-plucking, voice-wavering version recorded by the late Jeff Buckley on his 1994 debut “Grace.”

(For the sake of fairness, some, such as Guardian music critic Jude Rogers, argue that Buckley’s version was actually a cover of John Cale’s interpretation of Cohen’s classic.)

Many television shows and films – such as “The West Wing,” “ER” and “House” – have used that very version for emotional moments.

In 2001, a version of the song sung

by Rufus Wainwright was featured in DreamWork’s smash-hit “Shrek.”

But the bizarre thing that made Cohen’s rendition finally chart in Britain in 2008, some 22 years after its release, was an amateur singer named

• Travis M. Andrews is a Washington Post reporter.

In the early 1980s, Leonard Cohen sat on the floor of a New York hotel room, wearing only his underwear and remembered “banging my head on the floor and saying, ‘I can’t finish this song.’”

He had been working on it for years.

Cohen, who died Thursday at 82, was many things: poet, writer and monk, among them. But the Canadian-born artist spent most of his career as a musician, one of the most influential songwriters of the past six decades.

During that career, he wrote many gorgeous songs, which he sang in his smooth, smoky basso. But, as every obituary written about the man (including The Washington Post’s) has led with, he attained fame with the song he was attempting to write in that hotel room, the song for which he wrote more than 80 verses before trimming down to five, the song whose third line reads, ironically, “You don’t really care for music, do you?”

The song is “Hallelujah,” which appeared on his 1985 record “Various Positions.”

According to his biography “I’m Your Man,” the song eventually took Cohen five years to write, a fact that embarrassed him so much he later obscured the duration in a conversation with Bob Dylan.

Finally, all that was left to do was decide between two endings. In typical Cohen tradition, one was light, the other bleak.

The light:

Alexandra Burke singing it on “The X Factor.”

After she sang the song in the finale, Cohen’s version charted at 36.

About this late success, Cohen admitted to the Guardian some sense of pride, of righteous retribution.

“The record that it came from which was called ‘Various Positions,’ [a] record Sony wouldn’t put out,” Cohen said. “They didn’t think it was good enough. ... So there was a mild sense of revenge that arose in my heart.”

It’s difficult to pin down exactly what makes the song so popular and why it took so long for that popularity to take hold.

Without a doubt, like much of Cohen’s work, it’s a song of juxtapositions.

“The music is timeless and modern at the same time,” Daniel J. Levitin, professor of psychology at McGill University and the author of “The World in Six Songs: How the Musical Brain Created Human Nature,” told Maclean’s. “It has elements of 17th-century harmony – big, classical themes – but also an almost ‘50s retro ballad arpeggio, combined with modern harmonic moves.”

In “The Holy or the Broken,” his book about the song, Alan Light wrote, “Joyous and despondent, a celebration and a lament, a juxtaposition of dark Old Testament imagery with an irresistibly uplifting chorus, ‘Hallelujah’ is an open-ended meditation on love and faith – and certainly not a song that would easily be pegged as an international anthem.”

Even the tone of those lyrics shift.

As author and MTV editorial director Bill Flanagan told Light, “One of the funny things about ‘Hallelujah’ is that it’s got this profound opening couplet about King David, and then immediately it has this Woody Allen-type line of, ‘You don’t really care for music, do you?’ I remember it striking me the first time I heard the song as being really funny in a Philip Roth, exasperated kind of way – ‘I built this beautiful thing, but the girl only cares about the guy with a nice car.’ “ Cohen simply said, “I wanted to indicate that Hallelujah can come out of things that have nothing to do with religion.”

By 2009, his feelings on the song, as he related to the Guardian in 2009, were simple and straightforward, lacking the poetry he was so known for.

“I think it’s a good song, but I think too many people sing it.”

Reassure your daughter beforehand and as she goes through puberty Note to readres: This column originally ran in November 2014.

Dear Dr. K: What should I expect when my daughter goes through puberty? How can I help her as she goes through these changes?

Dear Reader: Full disclosure: I don’t have any personal or parental experience to tap into for this question. Experienced colleagues and friends always emphasize how important it is to discuss puberty with your daughter before these changes begin. She needs to know what to expect and also that these changes are perfectly normal. Otherwise, she might be frightened by the first signs of change, such as her first menstrual bleeding. Puberty typically lasts for four or five years. In girls, it usually starts between the ages of 8 and 13. Remind your daughter it is normal to begin puberty anywhere within this range. (But do mention it to your child’s doctor if your daughter is showing signs of puberty before age 8, or if there are no signs of puberty by age 13.)

During puberty, the whole body changes shape and size. For most girls, the first sign of puberty is breast growth. This will start with a small round lump (breast bud) under one or both nipples. The lump gradually will grow, along with the dark area around the nipples (areola). A family friend once told me her daughter had become terrified she might have breast cancer when her breasts started to grow. This happened not long after the girl overheard her mother telling a friend “breast cancer runs in my family.”

Girls gain weight and muscle and grow taller during puberty. This growth peaks about one year after puberty has begun. The storage of body fat also changes, so the hips, buttocks and legs get larger while the waist

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff seems to get smaller.

Hair grows in the pubic area, on the legs and under the arms. Glands in the skin make more oil and sweat. Body odor and acne may become noticeable.

Most girls begin to have periods (menstruate) about two years after the start of breast development. On average, in the United States, girls get their first period around age 12½. However, menstruation may start as early as 9 years or as late as 17 years old. A girl’s first few menstrual periods tend to be irregular, until the ovaries mature and start to produce eggs regularly.

In addition to these physical changes, puberty brings emotional changes. For example, many preteens feel anxious or self-conscious about the physical changes of puberty, especially when comparing themselves with others. Your child’s moods also will change quickly and often during this time. Mood swings are normal and probably are related to changing hormone levels.

Do your best to support, encourage and guide your daughter though this new and different, but also exciting and important, time. Even if you’ve done a good job of explaining what to expect, the changes of puberty may frighten your daughter. Your ongoing explanation and reassurance are as important as your preparation of your daughter for the coming of puberty.

Dear Abby: My DEAR ABBY fiancé, “Allen,” and I have dated Jeanne for almost three Phillips years and have been living together for three months. When we met, he had been divorced for more than two years. Allen has a 13-year-old son and a 19-year-old daughter.

His kids learned about me after we had dated a year. His daughter, “Jen,” attends college out of state. When she visits home, she stays only with her mom.

Last summer, Allen and I decided to buy a house together, found the perfect one and went to make an offer when Jen stepped in and said if we lived together before August, after she returned to school, she wouldn’t have anything to do with him. He told me I can’t live with him until August. I was devastated, but I didn’t have a choice. Now we have a house together, Jen said she wants to spend time on Thanksgiving here at the house without me or my kids. She cried to her dad, saying if he doesn’t do this he’s excluding her and choosing my kids and me over her.

This will be my first holiday with my fiancé, and I was really looking forward to it. We were having friends and family over. But now, because of her request, he wants me to leave for a few hours in the morning. I’m torn. I feel like her behavior is extremely rude and he shouldn’t give in to her, but she said she’ll only see him under these conditions. Do I leave my house for a few hours on Thanksgiving, or tell her she’s welcome but the kids and I are staying in our own home? – Disrespected Out West Dear Disrespected: It’s time for you and Allen to have a serious discussion. Jen’s demand is unreasonable. Have you set a wedding date yet?

Does he plan to allow his daughter to control both of you once you are married? You and your children should not have to vacate your home for her to visit with her father. Jen is an adult, and if she prefers to avoid the reality of your existence, it’s her choice. Her father could visit with her elsewhere before or after Thanksgiving.

Dear Abby: I’m 17, and a friend of mine who lives out of state, “Jane,” has just told me she has dissociative identity disorder (formerly known as multiple personality disorder). I don’t know how I should behave around her now because large parts of our history have correlated to various identities. Some have come onto me, but others seemed to hate me. Do you know where I can find help for dealing with a person afflicted by this? She doesn’t want to tell her psychiatrist, and so far, only I and another friend know. – Worried How To Behave Dear Worried: If your friend’s psychiatrist doesn’t know that she has dissociative identity disorder, I would hesitate to accept her self-diagnosis and so should you. The kindest thing you can do for her would be to urge her to fully disclose any symptoms she’s been experiencing to her doctor, because if what you have written is accurate, she has not been doing that.

I am confident that you have heard the line: “Out of this nettle, danger, we pluck this flower, safety.”

But from which of Shakespeare’s plays does it come?

At the bridge table, part of the art of being a successful player is spotting both the danger to your contract and the safe route around that threat.

How does that apply in today’s deal? South is in five spades doubled, and West leads the diamond two.

What happens next?

West might have opened four hearts, but that would have risked missing a slam if partner had a decent hand. After East responded one no-trump, South jumped to four spades, of course. Then West felt obliged to bid five hearts. However, when South continued with five spades, West aggressively doubled.

Clearly, West’s lead is a singleton, under which East should play his three as a suit-preference signal for clubs. (Since he has no reason to play third hand high and count in the suit is irrelevant, he can signal suit preference.)

If South immediately attacks trumps, West will win with his ace, play a club to his partner’s king and receive a diamond ruff to defeat the contract.

South must cut the defensive communication lines. He takes the first trick on the board, leads the heart king and discards his club. He loses only one heart and one spade.

I discovered that Hotspur spoke that Shakespearean line in Henry IV part 1, act 2, scene 3.

GIRLS BASKETBALL SEASON PREVIEW

J’BURG’S SIGHTS ON STATE Five to watch

Liz Alsot McHenry, jr., F

Alsot (6-foot) almost averaged a double-double as a sophomore, with 12.3 points and 9.8 rebounds a game. She hauled in more than 300 rebounds and swatted 34 shots, providing the Warriors with a physical presence inside. She was a Northwest Herald All-Area second-team selection.

Morgan Clausen Huntley, sr., F

Clausen (6-1) averaged 9.8 points and 7.2 rebounds a game for Huntley and quickly became the Red Raiders’ go-to option behind Illinois freshman Ali Andrews. She stood out in the postseason, where her energy and tenacity often set her apart. Clausen was a Northwest Herald All-Area honorable mention pick and is committed to Brown.

Vannessa Garrelts Marian Central, jr., PG

Garrelts (5-5) is one of the area’s best all-around players despite playing only one full season at the high school level. The elusive guard averaged 16.1 points, 5.1 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 3.6 steals a game. Garrelts hit the second-most 3-pointers (70) in the area and was a Northwest Herald All-Area first-team pick.

Aannah Interrante Johnsburg, jr., G

Interrante (5-11) emerged as one of the area’s top playmakers and was especially clutch in the postseason as the Skyhawks finished one win away from the state semifinals. She averaged 14.3 points, 2.3 assists and 3.2 steals a game, finishing the season with the seventh-most points in Skyhawks history and the fourth-most steals.

She drained 65 3-pointers and was a Northwest Herald All-Area second-team selection.

Katie Sowa Cary-Grove, jr., G-F

Sowa (6-0) averaged 11.2 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.2 steals for the Trojans and was one of the area’s most accurate shooters. She shot 86.5 percent from the free-throw line (third best in the area), including 92 percent in conference, and hit 31 3-pointers. She was a Northwest Herald All-Area honorable mention choice.

Skyhawks say they can improve on last season’s 28-4 record

By ALEX KANTECKI

OHNSBURG – Johnsburg freshman Ava Interrante needed a ride home after girls basketball practice Wednesday, but her big sister, junior Aannah Interrante, wanted to shoot some more.

Sorry sis, but basketball rules.

“She’s working out all of the time, and she’s getting better,” Skyhawks coach Brad Frey said.

For more “Her first couple of days in open gym I came in, she Team was doing things that she preview hadn’t done two months capsules before. She just loves it. on Page 7. She’s a gym rat.

“These first few weeks (of practice) are always fun.

The intensity is improving, and they’re all practicing better and better every day. I think they see what’s coming up.”

Interrante, a 5-foot-11 guard and three-year starter, is one of several key returners for Johnsburg, coming off a record-breaking 28-4 season and finishing a win short of making the Class 3A state semifinals for the first time in school history.

Johnsburg has several key players back, including four-year varsity player and three-year starter Cortland Sommerfeldt (5.9 points, 2.6 assists, 2.7 steals), junior forward Kayla Stefka (7.9 points, 6.7 rebounds, 50 blocked shots), senior defensive captain Dani McCauley, sophomores Megan and Morgan Madsen, and seniors Lexi Altmann and Taylor Piggott.

That many familiar faces returning is one reason Frey is hopeful the Skyhawks can make another long postseason run. Johnsburg is 48-14 the past two season under Frey and assistant coach Chris O’Niel.

“There’s a good tempo to us,” Frey said. “We like to run. They’ve played with each other forever. They know where people are. They’ll make a pass and you’re like, ‘Whoa,’ and, all of a sudden, someone is there.

“Their familiarity is one of our strengths. They know where everybody is on the court at all times.”

Aannah Interrante, who plays for AAU Illinois Elite Basketball, secured her first scholarship offer from NCAA Division I Northern Illinois in September. She also has been on visits to Loyola and Miami (Ohio), and has had coaches from Drake and Bryant (Rhode Island) visit her home.

Last year, she averaged 14.3 points,

Samson Evans Prairie Ridge, QB Evans ran 18 times for 276 yards and five touchdowns as the Wolves rolled over Lake Forest, 71-7, in their Class 6A playoffs quarterfinal game. Evans has 12 touchdowns in his past two games and 1,708 yards rushing for the season.

A.J. Golembiewski Marian Central, WR Golembiewski caught eight passes for 84 yards as the Hurricanes lost to Vernon Hills, 17-0, in their Class 5A playoffs quarterfinal game.

Trevor Loewen Jacobs, WR Loewen caught four passes for 86 yards and two touchdowns as the Golden Eagles lost to Fenwick, 28-21, in a Class 7A playoffs quarterfinal game. Loewen’s touchdown grabs came from 23 and 17 yards.

PREP FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK

Change in style paid off for Jacobs

By SEAN HAMMOND

shammond@shawmedia.com In football, as in life, sometimes a team must adapt to survive.

Jacobs came a long way from its 2-3 start to the season. Ultimately, the Golden Eagles won five out of six games before Saturday’s 28-21 Class 7A quarterfinal loss to Fenwick. They needed a win over Hampshire in Week 9 to qualify for the postseason and then kept on winning.

Jacobs reinvented itself in the process, ditching a spread passing attack in favor of a run-heavy approach. The change in style worked.

Running back Loren Strickland finished his junior season with more than 800 rushing yards, and much of it came in the latter half of the season.

“He really showed up big for us,” quarterback Chris Katrenick said.

“He’s the best athlete on the team and he’s done a lot of good things for us.”

Other backs carried heavier loads, as well, including David Butros, Stephen Kavanaugh and Jacob Hahnfield.

How much did the offense change throughout the year? In a midseason loss to Cary-Grove, Katrenick attempted 57 passes. Contrast that with the second-round win over Batavia, when the Bowling Green-bound quarterback needed to attempt only eight.

The Eagles adapted to survive, and survive they did after a Week 8 loss to Prairie Ridge.

“We were 4-4, and from that moment on, every game was a playoff game,” Katrenick said. “It’s a great accomplishment. We weren’t looking too far ahead, we were looking one week at a time.”

Senior defensive back Aidan Ludlum had two interceptions in the loss to Fen-

wick. He said he thought the Eagles were playing with confidence late in the year.

“We’re not the same team we were at the beginning of the season,” Ludlum said. “We know that we can play with anyone. We saw that the first two playoff games.”

The 28-14 win over Batavia – a perennial state tournament contender – in the second round showed the Eagles were for real.

Jacobs graduates only 10 seniors from this year’s team, but that includes some key contributors such as Katrenick and Ludlum. After pulling off what was the longest playoff run in school history, the Eagles should return with a lot of experience in 2017.

“Those 10 seniors, they mean the world to us because they stuck it out,”

coach Bill Mitz said. “We demand a lot of our guys here. They work hard, and that group coming back. It’s going to be weird not having those other 10 guys, (but) a lot of kids are coming back.”

The returning Eagles will have to adapt. But if 2016 proved anything, it’s that Jacobs isn’t afraid to embrace adjustments.

Lots of plaques: Cary-Grove fullback-linebacker Tyler Pennington stood on the DeKalb football field, answering questions, with a Class 6A quarterfinal plaque under his left arm after the Trojans’ 35-21 loss Saturday.

It was not the plaque C-G wanted.

The Trojans thought they had at least one more week to play, which would have been a rematch with Prairie Ridge, the only team to beat them this season.

DeKalb had other ideas, and ended that dream Fox Valley Conference semifinal.

Still, C-G’s stretch since 2004 is remarkable. Four times, the Trojans have ended their season in a state championship game. Two more, they reached a semifinal. And four other times they made the quarterfinals.

Since 2004, C-G never has lost a firstround game, and lost in the second round only three times.

Still the one: With C-G’s loss Saturday, Prairie Ridge remains the only FVC team to reach the semifinals in three consecutive years (2009, 2010 and 2011). The Wolves lost big to eventual state champion C-G in 2009, lost a heartbreaker to eventual champion Boylan, 14-7, in 2010, then won the state championship in 2011.

Jamming: Johnsburg’s P.A. system blasted Billy Squire’s “The Stroke” after the Skyhawks’ 42-13 victory over Genoa-Kingston on Friday night as the players sang and clapped their hands,

leading the crowd to do the same.

Johnsburg (12-0) hosts a Class 4A semifinal against defending champion Chicago Phillips at 7 p.m. Friday. Phillips knocked out the Skyhawks in each of the past two years. It’s Johnsburg’s first semifinal appearance.

“It’s exciting, our boys are fired up, as you can see,” Johnsburg coach Dan DeBoeuf said. “They worked for it and put ourselves in a situation where we’re going to go after this and try to achieve our goal here.”

Johnsburg was 1-17 in former coach Mike Maloney’s first two seasons, but went 9-2 in 2014. Maloney moved to Marian Central, and DeBoeuf took over a program bound for success. The Skyhawks were 8-3 last year and have rolled past their opponents this season.

“This is another step toward our main goal we’ve been working for for the past three years,” said defensive back Blake Lemcke, one of six threeyear varsity starters for Johnsburg.

House it: Lemcke’s 35-yard punt return touchdown in the second quarter was his third such score this season. He also ran back punts for scores against Richmond-Burton and Woodstock North.

On Friday, he caught a line-drive punt almost on a full run. He had to cut it wide at the 5-yard line and run almost 20 more yards to score from there.

“It was a short punt and I was past half the kids when I caught it,” Lemcke said. “I was going full-steam, so it worked out pretty well. I had to outrun a couple of those kids (at the end).

I guess I wanted to get in the end zone more than they wanted to tackle me.”

Adam Jayko Johnsburg, DB-K-P Jayko intercepted two Genoa-Kingston passes in the end zone as the Skyhawks defeated the Cogs, 42-13, in their Class 4A playoffs quarterfinal game.

Johnsburg’s defense was tough the entire game, and on two drives when the Cogs got close, Jayko was all over both passes, hauling them in.

He has four interceptions in the past two games. He also made all six extra points.

– Bears WR Alshon Jeffery – Bears coach John Fox

3 things that worked

1 2

Run defense: The front seven, with nose tackle Eddie Goldman back in the lineup, stood tall against RB Doug Martin and the Bucs’ run game, holding Tampa Bay to 48 yards on 18 carries (2.7-yard average) through three quarters.

Feeding Howard early: The rookie was outstanding in the first half, picking up chunk gains on his way to 89 yards on 13 carries before halftime. Jordan Howard’s success made it more confounding the Bears chose not to run it when they had first-and-goal in the first quarter. He finished with another 100-yard game.

Defending Evans: Porter held star receiver Mike Evans without a catch in the first half. His first reception was the 39-yarder on a broken play when QB Jameis Winston avoided several chances for a sack. Porter should have knocked it down, but he also shouldn’t have been put in that position.

Bears

Protecting the football: It was an awful game for QB Jay Cutler, who threw two bad interceptions – and almost had a third if it wasn’t for Alshon Jeffery’s defense – and lost a fumble on third-and-goal. Howard lost a fumble, too, giving the Bears four turnovers before halftime against a Bucs team that had averaged only 1.4 takeaways a game this season. The exclamation mark was Cutler’s fumble in the end zone for a safety late in the third quarter.

Covering the middle: Whether it was tight end Cameron Brate (seven receptions for 84 yards on seven targets) or WR Adam Humphries (five catches), the Bears’ pass coverage was ineffective up the seam, where Buccaneers pass catchers found open spaces for long gains.

Moving the football: Against one of the league’s worst defenses, the Bears held the ball for 14:18 less than the Buccaneers and had only one drive reach the red zone. They were an abysmal 2 for 11 on third down.

2 3

3 moments that mattered

1

Cutler’s first pick: Facing a third-and-2 from the Bucs’ 37-yard line, on a drive in which Howard had two carries for 28 yards, the Bears elected to give Cutler an empty backfield and call a pass. He threw to a spot where he expected Jeffery to be on a slant, but the ball went right into the arms of CB Brent Grimes for an interception.

Shovel pass, Long’s injury: With a second-and-goal from the 7-yard line, the Bears elected to fake a pitch to Howard and run a shovel pass to fullback Paul Lasike. The play gained 4 yards, but the more important result was that it ended in Kyle Long’s ankle getting rolled up. Not only was it another example of the Bears not running the ball, but the play might cost their three-time Pro Bowl guard his season.

Winston’s scramble: Trailing by a touchdown, the Bears should have gotten a sack on third down at the start of the third quarter, or even a safety, on Winston. It’s the play that will be looped on highlight reels for the next 24 hours. OLB Leonard Floyd couldn’t bring him down and neither could OLB Willie Young. Instead, Winston heaved it to Evans for 34 yards and then threw a 43-yard TD on the next play, putting the game away.

2 3

What now?

Record: 2-7 What it means: On an afternoon when the Vikings and Packers lost, the Bears had a chance to leave Florida two games back in the division. Instead, they have one of the worst records in football.

What’s next: Another road game on the east coast, this time against Eli Manning and the N.Y. Giants.

BUCCANEERS 36, BEARS 10

ever be more than just good enough to sometimes get the job done, and in spite of his “fortunate” interception Sunday, safety Harold Jones-Quartey is unlikely to be even that.

Beyond Howard, only cornerback Tracy Porter was worthy of our praise. The Bucs didn’t choose to take Evans out of the game, Porter did that.

All of that said, shame and blame are two different things, and I don’t believe the Bears players were to blame for what happened in Tampa – that all belongs to the coaching staff.

Coaches don’t get hired for one or two great game plans, so they shouldn’t be fired for them, either.

Coach John Fox comes with a track record that is much better than what AP photo Bears quarterback Jay Cutler fumbles as he we saw Sunday and has earned the is hit by Buccaneers defensive end Robert chance to prove he can do better.

But Sunday’s mess has to be a Ayers in the end zone in the third quarter of referendum on what Fox has wrought Sunday’s game in Tampa, Fla.

fensive coordinators in the league, but was fired after Week 2 in Buffalo.

Greg Olson is quite accomplished as well, but was fired two weeks ago in Jacksonville.

Norv Turner once won a Super Bowl ring in the job, but is now out in Minnesota.

What exactly are Loggains’ qualifications for the job?

The Bears first-half play-calling was a joke, clearly the best laugh the Bucs have had in some time.

Loggains might someday prove to be a fine football coach, but his play-calling Sunday set up his team for failure and was more responsible for that embarrassment than anything any player did, including Cutler.

The Bucs clearly had no answers for or ability to stop Howard, so Loggains did it for them.

What Fox does now about the play-calling and his players’ preparedness to play over the next seven weeks ultimately should dictate his future, and that of his staff, as well.

For now, they should just be really embarrassed.

Bears players and fans deserve better, and it’s Fox’s job to make sure that happens.

BEARS NOTEBOOK

‘D’ gives up big play to Winston; Long injured

By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@profootballweekly.com TAMPA, Fla. – A game between a last-place Bears team and a Buccaneers team that had yet to win at home wasn’t going to get a whole lot of run on national highlight shows.

Bucs quarterback Jameis Winston changed that, with his escape artist scramble and ensuing 39-yard heave to receiver Mike Evans, turning a potential safety for the Bears into a first down for the Buccaneers. He then threw a 43-yard touchdown pass on the next play to put the game away.

The play blew up on social media and will be the top highlight shown from the Bears’ ugly 36-10 loss Sunday, one Bears players won’t want to watch.

“I couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t believe he was able to come down with it,” said cornerback Tracy Porter, who

held Evans without a catch in the first half and had a chance to knock the pass down, which would have forced a punt.

“I went up to make a play on the ball and he was able to give me a little nudge so he could get some freedom and make the catch.”

The Bears’ defense wasn’t the problem Sunday. Quarterback Jay Cutler threw two Kyle Long interceptions and lost two fumbles, while the defense stopped the run and pressured Winston, but the one play in which it couldn’t get home is the one that’s going to linger.

“That was a critical play because if we would’ve stopped him right there, that would’ve flipped the field,” said nose tackle Eddie Goldman, who had a sack in his first game back since Week 2. “And that’s what we needed at that

time. Stuff like that happens, though.”

OLB Leonard Floyd had the first shot at Winston, then OLB Willie Young. Winston scrambled all the way back to his own end zone as he eluded the Bears’ pass rushers before launching the pass to Evans.

“It definitely felt like an eternity,” Porter said. “You want to look back a little bit to see if they’re going to get him down, but you have to keep your eye on the receiver, and while he’s scrambling around, you can’t let him out of your sight.”

That play, on the first drive of the second half, all but ended any hopes for a Bears comeback.

Major injuries: Right guard Kyle Long had his ankle rolled up on and left on a cart at the start of the second quarter, a brutal blow to the Bears and to the three-time Pro Bowler. Coach John Fox did not know the severity

of the injury, but it didn’t look good for Long, who received hugs from his teammates on offense as well as the Bucs’ defensive players. Right tackle Bobby Massie left the game with a concussion, NT Will Sutton left with an ankle injury and Fox said running back Jordan Howard had an “Achilles/ ankle” injury.

Edge rushers make impact: If they weren’t getting to Winston, the trio of Young, Floyd and Pernell McPhee made life very difficult on a Bucs’ offensive line that had three holding penalties.

“They’re a good group. They present a challenge. I think the guys play hard,” said Bucs right tackle Demar Dotson, who had two holding flags.

“They’re no walk in the park, by far.

They did some good things today. You take your hat off to those guys. They fought from start to finish.”

• Monday, November 14, 2016

After their 36-10 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, the Bears should be ashamed of themselves.

All of them!

You always have to start with the players, BEARS because they INSIDER were the ones on the field Hub who failed to Arkush perform.

Whether Jay Cutler is released after this season or is kept around for one more year as a bridge to whomever is brought in to replace him is irrelevant.

He no longer can be viewed as part of the rebuilding program.

The Bears could be very good at guard and at center if they can ever keep Kyle Long, Josh Sitton and Cody Whitehair on the field together.

But do we need any more evidence after Sunday’s visit to Tampa Bay that this team just isn’t good enough at tackle?

It is clear to almost everybody who isn’t a member of the Bears’ coaching staff that they have something very special in rookie running back Jordan Howard, and they have no idea what to do with him.

Fortunately, there is a great deal more promise on defense, but there is no excuse for the front seven’s inability to finish against Bucs quarterback Jameis Winston.

6 BLACKHAWKS 3, CANADIENS 2

Kane’s go-ahead goal highlights victory

By MATT CARLSON The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Patrick Kane keeps finding new ways to score big goals – and the Blackhawks keep on rolling.

Kane, the reigning NHL scoring leader and MVP, scored a spectacular tiebreaking goal late in the second period, and the Hawks beat Montreal, 3-2, Sunday night, handing the league-leading Canadiens only their second regulation loss of the season.

Kane snapped a 2-all tie with 3:37 left in the second to cap a terrific individual effort. He skated down the slot, fooled Jeff Petry with a move and chipped a shot past Al Montoya – while falling to the ice with Max Pacioretty checking him closely from Patrick Kane behind.

So where does that one rate in Kane’s growing highlight reel library?

“It was a different one, that’s for sure,” Kane said. “I don’t know if I’ve scored going to the ground like that.

Pretty cool, for sure.”

“That had the wow factor all over it,” Hawks coach Joel Quenneville added. “All of a sudden he makes a play with a guy draped all over him, makes a great shot falling to the ice.”

Even Montoya was impressed.

“There’s not many guys that can make that play,” Montoya said. “He’s one of two, and I think (former Red
