World’s tallest waterslide to be removed after boy’s death

By JIM SUHR

The Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. – A company’s announcement that it will demolish its towering Kansas waterslide as soon as investigations into the death of a boy on the ride this summer have concluded was motivated by uncertainty among park patrons, not any pending legal settlements involving the accident, a spokeswoman said Wednesday.

Schlitterbahn Waterparks and Resorts and the family that runs it said in a statement Tuesday that the “Verruckt” ride at the Schlitterbahn park in Kansas City, Kansas, will be permanently removed from its tower “once the investigation is concluded and we are given permission by the court.” The Texas-based company called the move “the only proper course of action.”

“Coming up on the holidays, this time of year, it’s something we’d like to set to rest,” company spokeswoman Winter Prosapio told The Associated Press on Wednesday. “When we’re allowed to take it down, we will take it down. We have no interest in having it up another hour.”

Billed as the world’s tallest waterslide, Verruckt has been closed since Caleb Thomas Schwab died on the ride Aug. 7. The boy was decapitated, someone familiar with the investigation previously told The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because that person was not authorized to speak publicly about the boy’s death.

Two women in the raft were injured.

Attorneys for the Schwabs – Caleb’s father is Republican state Rep. Scott Schwab – and the

women are independently investigating the accident. No charges or lawsuits had been filed as of Wednesday.

Michael Rader, an attorney for the Schwabs, said he had been working with Schlitterbahn and its legal team on a plan to eventually remove the slide, but that it “cannot be torn down until all investigations and potential litigation has concluded.”

Scott Schwab didn’t respond to requests for comment Wednesday.

Verruckt, which is German for “insane,” featured multiperson rafts that made a 17-story drop at speeds of up to 70 mph, followed by a surge up a hump and a 50-foot descent to a finishing pool. Riders were harnessed with two nylon seatbelt-like straps, one crossing the rider’s lap, the other stretching diagonally like a car shoulder seatbelt.

The regulation of waterslides and other amusement rides has drawn scrutiny since Caleb’s death. Kansas is known for its light regulation of amusement park rides, and the Texas-based company that operates Schlitterbahn lobbied legislators to help ensure that it remained responsible for its own inspections.

Kansas requires annual inspections of permanent amusement park rides but allows private inspectors to do the checks.

Schlitterbahn Waterparks and Resorts said Tuesday that it has been cooperating with investigators and the victims’ families and attorneys, noting that “in our 50 years of providing an environment for families and friends to gather, we’ve never experienced this kind of devastating event.”

Man will spend 56 years in prison for murder of Island Lake woman

Arthur R. Groh 90, Crystal Lake Molly Maria Howell 66 Eduardo Oliva Mass 28, Woodstock

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A McHenry County judge sentenced a Chicago man to 56 years in prison for the “brutal” murder of 48-year-old Karen Scavelli in 2014.

Judge Sharon Prather sentenced Howard Dibbern on Wednesday afternoon in the presence of several members of Scavelli’s family, including her three children. Prather said one of the biggest factors she Howard considered when determin- Dibbern ing the sentence was that Dibbern has been to prison six times.

“Mr. Dibbern is absolutely, no doubt, a career criminal,” Prather said. “He preys on innocent women.”

She sentenced Dibbern to 48 years on the first-degree murder charge, eight years on the possession of a stolen motor vehicle and five years for concealing a homicide. Dibbern will serve the murder charge and motor vehicle charge consecutively, and the last sentence will be served at the same time as the second charge.

Assistant State’s Attorney Robert Zalud characterized Dibbern during the sentencing hearing as a career criminal who doesn’t have a single redeemable quality.

Zalud said Scavelli’s family had to spend the day before Thanksgiving in a courtroom instead of preparing for the holiday or enjoying their time with family, all because of Dibbern’s actions.

He then stole her vehicle and led police on a “high-speed chase” the next day before crashing into a Mundelein home and attempting suicide.

Dibbern’s attorney, McHenry County Assistant Public Defender Rick Behof, proceeded with an insanity defense during the partially stipulated bench trial in September, meaning he argued that his client was legally insane at the time of the alleged crime.

Prather ruled Sept. 30 that Dibbern had the capacity to appreciate his criminal conduct and found him guilty of all charges. She determined he was guilty but mentally ill, a finding that does not

WL man gets 6 months in jail for killing teen in DUI

By HANNAH PROKOP

Log on to www.NWHerald.com and vote on today’s poll question:

When do you have Thanksgiving dinner?

Wednesday’s results as of 8 p.m.:

hprokop@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – In a packed courtroom on the day before Thanksgiving, Carrie Kilpatrick saw the man who admitted to killing her son sentenced to six months in McHenry County Jail and 30 months of probation.

Justin A. Raven of Wonder Lake pleaded guilty to the amended charge of reckless homicide and driving under the influence of alcohol. On Sept. 9, 2014, authorities have said Raven was intoxicated when he struck 17-year-old Nicholas Kilpatrick of McHenry with his pickup truck.

Justin A. Nicholas Kilpatrick, who was riding a Raven skateboard when he was hit, died from injuries he sustained in the crash.

“Six months in county jail for taking somebody’s life is a joke,” Carrie Kilpatrick said after the hearing. “It’s a slap on the wrist and a slap in our face. And it’s like saying my son’s life didn’t matter.”

Raven originally pleaded not guilty to two counts of aggravated driving under the influence. At the hearing Wednesday, a negotiated plea was reached between the two parties, with McHenry County Assistant State’s Attorney Sharyl Eisenstein representing the state and Mark Facchini representing Raven.

Five members of Nicholas Kilpatrick’s family read victim statements Wednesday, and several people in the audience cried.

Carrie Kilpatrick read statements from her two children before reading her own. She described Nicholas Kilpatrick as a charismatic and loving child, who was funny and protective of his family.

Although Carrie Kilpatrick said her son wasn’t perfect, he was a typical teenager finding his way in the world.

“But he never grew up into the man I one day know he would have become, because you took that from him,” Carrie Kilpatrick said at the stand, addressing Raven.

She said there is always an empty seat at the dinner table where her son should be, and holidays are never the same.

“This is what I have left of my son,” Carrie Kilpatrick said as she held up a locket she wears around her neck that contains Nicholas Kilpatrick’s ashes.

When Judge Michael Feetterer asked Facchini to briefly describe the defense’s evidence if the case had gone to trial, Facchini said that toxicology reports show that Nicholas Kilpatrick was high on marijuana and hydrocodone at the time of the crash, causing him to be impaired.

Facchini also said Raven did not have time to react to and avoid the crash, and Nicholas Kilpatrick was wearing all dark clothing. Facchini said there was no evidence that Raven was drag racing after the crash, as some had accused him of during their victim impact statements.

In addition to his jail and probation sentence, Raven will work 200 hours of public service focused on outreach on the consequences of drinking and driving. He also will pay the Kilpatrick family up to $6,000 in restitution, and not

A Wonder Lake man admitted to driving drunk and hitting the 17-year-old McHenry boy with his pickup truck. Nicholas died from injuries sustained in the Sept. 9, 2014, crash.

Mother of McHenry DUI crash victim Nicholas Kilpatrick be allowed to drink alcohol or use illegal drugs during his probation.

Eisenstein said one of the leading factors in deciding the negotiation was a pending case in the Illinois Supreme Court, People v. Ida Way. The case would determine what can and cannot be admissible in court in certain cases, she said.

The surviving members of Nicholas Kilpatrick’s family have filed a lawsuit seeking $2 million in damages, which still is pending.

• MURDER

Continued from page A4 “He has more in common with a vulture than you or I, your honor,” Zalud said in court. “Prisons were built for people like Howard Dibbern.”

All three of Scavelli’s children took the stand, characterizing their mother as a loving, kindhearted woman who was willing to help anyone in need and often put others before herself. They discussed holidays, birthdays and major life events they’ve been unable to share with their mother since her death.

Scavelli’s daughter, Nicole Allen, said she has been forever changed after her mother’s death. She said the events have created a serious financial and emotional burden on herself and her siblings. Allen has two children, one of whom was born after her mother was killed.

“My 3-year-old son asks if he can see grandma in heaven,” Allen said.

Joseph Scavelli, Karen Scavelli’s son, said his mother deserved to live a long and happy life, but that was unjustly taken away from her.

“Even after two and a half years I still don’t completely feel like myself,” Joseph Scavelli said.

Behof said there was nothing he could say to help the family or bring Karen Scavelli back. He said his client has a long history of mental illness, a fact that two psychologists agreed upon during the bench trial, and said he hoped Prather would consider that factor when determining a sentence.

Fox River, Geneva Lake eagle watching event set for Dec. 10 Locations include McHenry, Algonquin, Carpentersville dams NORTHWEST HERALD McHenry County Conservation District officials announced an event next month that will appeal to eagle enthusiasts.

Representatives from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Friends of Hackmatack Wildlife Refuge, Illinois Department of Natural Resources and McHenry County Audubon will be on hand Dec. 10 to help bird-watchers search for the birds of prey.

The event will be from 8 to 10 a.m. at three locations along the Fox River: the McHenry Dam, the Algonquin Dam and the Carpentersville Dam, plus a new spot at Fontana beach on Geneva Lake.

Volunteers will have scopes and binoculars available for use at each location, as well as guided activities for children. Visitors may choose the location closest to them or visit all four. Maps to the locations are

available at www.MCCDistrict.org.

Part two of the day’s event – Eagles of Illinois, presented by the Illinois Raptor Center and sponsored by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service – is scheduled from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Prairieview Education Center in Crystal Lake.

Organizers said people have been inspired by eagles for centuries. Religions, countries, armies

and other entities have adopted the eagle as their symbol of power.

Participants also can see other birds of prey that are commonly misidentified as eagles.

The all-ages program is free, but organizers said space is limited and registration is required.

To register, visit www.MCCDistrict.org and search for Eagles of Illinois, or register at 815-479-5779.

Harvard sets tax levy; newly Tree of Life to instated mayor plans projects host Christmas Levy projected to increase nearly 5 percent McHENRY

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com HARVARD – The city’s levy is expected to rise by nearly 5 percent in the upcoming fiscal year.

City Council members Tuesday met to set the city’s annual tax levy, which is projected to rise by almost 5 percent over last year’s extension. The city’s budget is set at about $10 million, and Harvard will levy $2.5 million on properties. Officials said the increase was to account for new growth, and the city’s portion of the overall property tax bill is about 17 percent.

Recently appointed Mayor Michael Kelly said the number is an estimate because McHenry County property tax assessment numbers won’t be in until April.

“We have to make a guess on where we think it is going to be,” he said. “Part of it is growth, and part of it is increase in property values.”

A resident could expect to see a hike of about $12 on the bill, City AdminisMichael trator Dave Nelson Kelly said.

Tuesday’s meeting was Kelly’s first chance to lead the meeting in his new role, after recognizing former Mayor Jay Nolan for his service. Nolan resigned Oct. 25 to start a distillery in town.

“It’s a learning process,” Kelly said.

Kelly has big plans for the city’s future, including a new police station, but his first priority is

getting the water treatment plant up to date, he said.

“The plant is failed technology,” he said. “It hasn’t been updated since the 1970s, and we can’t currently pass Illinois EPA requirements.”

Harvard has state extensions to continue to operate in its current condition, he said.

The water treatment plant project could cost between $15 million and $20 million, so the mayor plans to explore federal grants to accomplish the necessary work.

It’s not just environmental concerns that are important to note, he said.

“It’s two-fold,” Kelly said.

“We’re getting close to maximum capacity. So if we want to grow business in town, we need more capacity. We are required to do it, but it will also put us in a better position to grow our business community.”

Genoa family thankful for stranger’s kindness

By BRETT ROWLAND

browland@shawmedia.com GENOA – Once it’s in the garbage truck, it’s gone.

At least that’s what Waste Management worker Chris Hampel had been telling people for the 26 years he’d worked for the Houston-based company.

And that’s what he recently told a Genoa woman who stopped his truck Nov. 15.

Bonnie Fisher had been driving around Genoa looking for the truck after learning that her husband had accidentally discarded a box of her 91-year-old father’s mementos, including his baby book and items from his service in the U.S. Army during World War II. “There were many cool things in this box. Lots of pictures, a letter written home, certificates from the Army,” Fisher said.

“There were also other things ... such as Valentine cards he made for his grandmother [when] he was maybe 10. So they are 81 years old. There was a cool cookbook he made out of wood for his mom when he was a kid, also

“It’s rare to find something.

I told her it is like winning the lottery.”

Chris Hampel

Waste Management worker there was his baby book. Still in [its] original box, it is 91 years old.”

When Fisher found the Waste Management truck, she pulled in front of it and asked Hampel for help.

“She was shaking, almost crying,” Hampel said. “I told her that if it was in the truck, it was pretty much gone.”

Hampel told Fisher he’d look for it when he got to the landfill, but said finding it amid the eight tons of garbage in the truck was a longshot.

“It’s rare to find something,” he said. “I told her it is like winning the lottery.”

Hampel felt bad for Fisher.

If Hampel’s father, who served in the Air Force, had lost something like that, he’d want to get it back. He cut his route short and went straight to the landfill.

In the meantime, Fisher was losing hope.

Fisher’s mother, Betty Ball, died Sept. 2. Fisher and her husband, Steve, have been working to move her father, Ray Ball, from his home in Tennessee to a place in Genoa to be near family.

On Nov. 3, Fisher and her friend, Debby Karl, went to Greeneville, Tennessee, to help Fisher’s father pack up and get his house ready to be put up for sale.

During the visit, Ray Ball had discovered the box in his basement. He asked his daughter to bring it back with her instead of packing it in with the rest of his stuff on a U-Haul truck. When Fisher got home with the box, she put it in the garage.

“Normally, I would have put it in my basement, but my plan was to take it over to [my father’s] house in town,” Fisher

said. “In the meantime, I told my husband what this box is in the garage, so he would know.”

Four days after Veterans Day, “something told me to go to the garage and look for that box. I swear it was my mom telling me,” Fisher said.

The box was gone.

She called Steve to find out what happened. She could hear her husband’s voice sink. He had thought she wanted him to throw it out.

“I called my friend Debby to see if she remembered what all was in the box as she was there in Tennessee when we went through it. That’s when Matthew Apgar – mapgar@shawmedia.com she reminded me of his baby book and Bonnie Fisher of Genoa shows some of her father’s belongings Tuesday in Genoa. The then I cried all over again,” Fisher items, which were accidentally thrown away by Bonnie’s husband, were tracked down said. “She tried to explain to me that and then returned to the family by Waste Management worker Chris Hampel. everything in that box was ‘material’ things, and that I was blessed that I still had my dad of 91 years still here.

So I Bonnie Fisher of Genoa. The box decided I wouldn’t tell him unless he contained Army and childhood mementos belonging to her father, asked someday. My heart was sick.”

At the landfill, Hampel started his Ray Ball of Greeneville, Tenn., but search.

he could find and put it back in the box.

He then drove to Fisher’s home.

At first, Fisher said she thought it was another Waste Management truck collecting recyclables. But when the driver got out, she realized it was Hampel and he had found the box.

“I freaked out and went running out there,” she said.

“She was happier than ever,” Hampel said.

Fisher tried to repay the kindness with cash, but Hampel declined. So, Fisher gave him a hug.

“Chris went above and beyond,” Fisher said. “He could have just forgot all about it and finished his work day. I can never thank him enough.”

The miscommunication with her husband on the day before the couple’s 25th wedding anniversary was nearly forgotten.

Fisher bought a new Rubbermaid box for her father’s mementos. She labeled it “Dad’s army box,” “keep,” and “this means you Steve.”

Ray Ball doesn’t yet know that his keepsakes nearly ended up in a landfill. Fisher said she plans to tell him the story in person when he arrives in three weeks.

“He has a hard time hearing on the phone, so I am waiting to tell him when he gets here in three weeks,” Fisher said. “He can read this story and also see that all his things survived thanks to Chris Hampel.”

• THANKSGIVING MEAL

Valentina Camacho (left), 9, of Crystal Lake hands her plate to volunteer Jennifer Fullman of Crystal Lake on Wednesday while attending the second annual community Thanksgiving dinner at The Salvation Army in Crystal Lake. Find more photos from the dinner, in a photo gallery at NWHerald. com.

Continued from page A3

“Without this dinner, I really wouldn’t have been able to celebrate this holiday with my friends,” said Crystal Lake resident Danise Freifeld, who said she had to work on Thanksgiving, giving her little time to enjoy the holiday with others.

Carol Lewis, executive director for The Salvation Army of McHenry County, said she was grateful to be able to hold the event for the second consecutive year and provide families with a meal they might not get otherwise.

“And I just want to say this couldn’t be accomplished without the help of all our volunteers who commit their time to helping out community-centered events like this,” Lewis said.

Community members were served traditional Thanksgiving dishes such as mashed potatoes, rolls, vegetables, pumpkin pie and, of course, turkey and gravy. The food was provided by the Chicago-based catering company Lee n’ Eddies.

“The food was absolutely delicious,” Crystal Lake resident Ken Ozyuk said.

“Thanksgiving stands for a very special moment in our country’s history to celebrate the freedom and the right to give thanks to God for all the good things that we have, so I’m very thankful to partake in this today.”

Sarah Nader – snader@ shawmedia.com

For those who couldn’t attend but wanted to, The Salvation Army of McHenry County also had delivery teams throughout the day sending food to people who couldn’t get out of their house. Volunteers helped deliver food to firefighters to show their support for the local first responders.

The Salvation Army of McHenry County also played Christmas movies,

such as “It’s a Wonderful Life,” to keep their guests entertained even after they were finished eating.

“We just wanted to make them feel at home and show people that they are loved,” Salvation Army spokeswoman Linda West said. “This is our home today and our family, so we also wanted to allow the time to not just serve them, but sit down and meet them.”

West said this meal was just the beginning of several other holiday campaigns the nonprofit organization is hosting.

“We also have several events coming up and underway right now, such as our big Red Kettle Campaign fundraiser, where we are still in need of volunteers to ring the bells,” West said.

Kurtis, Joshua, Adam and Zachary: “Your Mother is always with you. She’s the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street. She’s the smell of certain foods you remember, flowers you pick, the fragrance of life itself. She’s the cool hand on your brow when you’re not feeling well.

She’s your breath in the air on a cold winter’s day.

She is the sound of the rain that lulls you to sleep, the colors of a rainbow, she is Christmas morning.

Your mother lives inside your laughter. She’s the place you came from, your first home, and she’s the map you follow with every step you take. She’s your first love, your first friend, even your first enemy, but nothing on earth can separate you, not time, not space...not even death.” - Unknown

CHICAGO – Laquan McDonald’s life seemed to be headed nowhere. A ward of the state who had been shuffled between relatives’ homes and foster care, he was 17 when, high on the hallucinogenic drug PCP, he wandered down the street slashing tires with a knife.

This week marks the one-year anniversary of the release of the video showing the night a white police officer shot the black teen and kept shooting as he lay mortally wounded – 16 times in all.

The video turned McDonald into one of the most significant figures in the story of race and justice playing out in Chicago and across the country, although one whose lasting impact remains in doubt because of the city’s uneven response and the uncertain impact of Donald Trump’s election as president.

Although the city has created a new agency to investigate police shootings and misconduct it has delayed the promised creation of a citizen oversight board. Critics said the city is not spending enough money for the new agency to work effectively and that it won’t be independent of Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s office.

A probe of Chicago police practices by the U.S. Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division is expected to wrap up

Thanksgiving travel expected to be heaviest since 2007

CHICAGO – Elizabeth Thompson can’t wait to leave the big city behind and decompress over the Thanksgiving holiday at her grandmother’s house in rural south-central Indiana. But first she has to get there.

On Wednesday, Thompson, 23, missed her Amtrak train from Chicago to Galesburg, Illinois, where she’d planned to catch a ride with a family member the rest of the way to Edinburgh, Indiana.

“It’s just where we go to unplug and escape,” said Thompson, who had to decide whether to wait several hours for the next train or hop on a bus and get going.

This week marks the one-year anniversary of the release of the video showing Van Dyke shooting Laquan McDonald 16 times. in the first months of next year. That could mean a final draft and enforcement of any reform recommendations is left to the appointees of Trump, who repeatedly cited Chicago’s violence during his campaign and said the city’s police should get “very much tougher.”

Still, the video and release of reports

railways Wednesday for what is expected to be the busiest Thanksgiving travel period in almost a decade. Almost 49 million people are expected to travel 50 miles or more between Wednesday and Sunday, the most since 2007, because of lower gas prices and an improving economy, according to AAA.

People line streets to honor Ill. soldier who was killed

DU QUOIN – People are lining the streets of a southern Illinois town to pay respects to a soldier killed in Afghanistan.

Pfc. Tyler R. Iubelt of Tamaroa died from injuries inflicted by an improvised explosive device at Bagram Airfield on Nov. 12.

The Southern Illinoisan reported that about 50 members of the Patriot Guard formed a flag line as Iubelt’s casket was carried into the First Baptist Church in Du Quoin on Wednesday.

Darla Hunter and her granddaughter are among the supporters who lined the streets to say good-bye. She called the

of officers at the scene did something that other police shootings of African Americans could not: Not only show the killing but also the way officers allegedly covered it up.

“Here, the video of an officer using deadly force without basis (and) the falsification of police reports is precisely why there is a lack of public confidence in the work police officers carry out,” said Kristen Clarke, president and executive director of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law in Washington, D.C. The public uproar prompted accusations that Emanuel fought the release of the video of the 2014 shooting because he did not want it coming out during his re-election campaign.

Emanuel, scrambling to regain public trust, fired the police superintendent.

Residents voted the county’s top prosecutor out of office. Jason Van Dyke became the first Chicago officer in nearly 35 years to be charged with first-degree murder for an on-duty fatality. A grand jury is deciding whether to indict other officers at the scene, who were fired for allegedly lying in their reports.

The city released hundreds more video clips of police encounters and created a policy to release videos within 60 days. The most noted example came in August when, a week after police fatally shot a suspected car thief, the city released video of the chase.

A number of use-of-force reforms have been implemented, including de-escalation training for officers. A pilot program to equip patrol officers with body cameras has been expanded, and the city said all patrol officers will be wearing them by the end of 2018.

Casting a shadow over it all is a mounting toll of shootings. The city is expected to surpass 700 homicides by the end of the year, the highest since 1998, and some 4,000 people injured.

A connection between the video aftermath and the rise in shootings isn’t clear. Since its release, police have expressed concern that officers are hesitating to do their jobs for fear of becoming the next “viral video.”

So far this year, there have been 77,000 arrests compared with 102,000 during the same period last year. But while the department said a big reason is a concerted effort not to make arrests in minor drug cases, others suspect officers are being more cautious.

“I have no doubt criminals feel emboldened because they see cops are absolutely much more reluctant to do their job,” said the Rev. Marshall Hatch, whose neighborhood has suffered from the violence.

The number of officer-involved shootings, which already had been dropping, fell to 20 so far this year compared with 28 last year and 43 in 2014, according to the Independent Police Review Authority, which investigates complaints.

Muslim volunteers give 5K turkeys to Chicago families

CHICAGO – A group of Muslim volunteers in Chicago has expanded a 16-year-old program in which it gives free turkeys to underprivileged families on the city’s South Side.

Volunteers from Sabeel Food Pantry, a Muslim-run pantry on the city’s northwest side, have distributed 5,000 turkeys this year, which is three times as many as they handed out last year, the Chicago Tribune reported. This year, they started giving away turkeys through eight schools in three South Side neighborhoods.

Ill. man convicted of raping 2 toddlers to get new trial

MOUNT VERNON – An Alton man convicted of raping two toddlers and sentenced to life in prison will get a new trial after the appellate court overturned his conviction.

In December 2012, Michael Burgund, 33, was found guilty on five counts of predatory sexual assault of two girls between the ages of 1 and 3 years old, the Belleville News-Democrat reported.

Madison County Assistant State’s Attorney Jennifer Mudge said prosecutors intend to proceed with the charges as soon as the case is officially remanded back to them.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Wayne State officer dies from gunshot wound

DETROIT – Detroit police Sgt. Michael Woody said Wayne State University officer Collin Rose, 29, died about 5:45 p.m. Wednesday at a hospital after he was shot in the head while on patrol near the campus in Detroit.

Rose’s death had been reported earlier in a news release from school President M. Roy Wilson.

“This is a tragedy felt by all of us,” Wilson said. “Collin served Wayne State with distinction, and we owe those he left behind our deepest sympathies and our strong support.”

Rose also is the “only Wayne State officer ever to fall in the line of duty,” Wilson said.

The five-year veteran of the university’s police force had gone through surgery earlier Wednesday, but his condition was described by the department’s chief as “very grave.”

Police said a suspect in the shooting was arrested late Tuesday night a few blocks from where Rose was shot, but no charges have been filed.

CDC: Abortion rate falls to lowest level in decades

NEW YORK – The number and rate of abortions tallied by federal authorities have fallen to their lowest level in decades, according to new data released Wednesday.

The latest annual report by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, incorporating data from 47 states, said the abortion rate for 2013 was 12.5 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15 to 44 years. That is down 5 percent from 2012, and is half the rate of 25 recorded in 1980.

The last time the CDC recorded a lower abortion rate was in 1971, two years before the U.S. Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision that established a nationwide right Tropical Storm Otto takes for women to have abortions.

Abortion was legal in some states aim at Central America at that time.

Trump picks women for U.N., education positions

By JULIE BYKOWICZ and STEVE PEOPLES The Associated Press

PALM BEACH, Fla. – Injecting the first diversity into his Cabinet-to-be, Donald Trump selected two Republican women Wednesday who had unflattering things to say about him during the presidential campaign: South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley to serve as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and charter school advocate Betsy DeVos to lead the Department of Education.

Haley has little foreign policy experience, yet Trump praised her as “a proven dealmaker.” DeVos, like Trump, is new to government but has spent decades working to change America’s system of public education.

DeVos and Haley are the first women selected for top-level administration posts as the president-elect works to shape a White House team from scratch.

Haley is the daughter of Indian immigrants, so she also would be his first minority selection after a string of announcements of white men.

Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson said “an announcement is forthcoming” on his role, which would make him the first black choice – possibly as secretary of Housing and Urban Development – but he also suggested he’d be thinking about it over the Thanksgiving holiday.

“I feel that I can make a significant contribution particularly to making our inner

cities great for everyone,” Carson wrote on his Facebook page.

Trump is also expected to select billionaire investor Wilbur Ross Jr. to lead the Commerce Department, a senior Trump adviser said Wednesday, speaking only on the condition of anonymity because the adviser was not authorized to disclose internal deliberations.

The 78-year-old Ross, who is white, is chairman and chief strategy officer of private-equity firm W.L. Ross & Co., which has specialized in buying failing companies.

Wednesday’s picks came as Trump worked to distance himself from the “alt-right,” a movement of white supremacists who continue to cheer his election.

He announced his two new choices in a statement released as he gathered with family behind closed doors at his Palm Beach estate for Thanksgiving. He’s spending the holiday there after a week of interviews of potential appointees in New York, punctuated by announcements of members of his national security team.

In a Thanksgiving message posted on social media, Trump acknowledged that the nation “just finished a long and bruising political campaign.”

“Emotions are raw and tensions just don’t heal overnight,” he added. “It’s my prayer that on this Thanksgiving we begin to heal our divisions and move forward as one country strengthened by shared purpose and very, very common resolve.”

The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – A school bus driver had no drugs or alcohol in his system when he careened off a road and smashed into a tree, killing six elementary schoolchildren, police said Wednesday.

Chattanooga Police Sgt. Austin Garrett said a toxicology test was performed on Johnthony Walker, 24, the bus driver now in jail on five vehicular homicide charges.

Later Wednesday, the police department sent a tweet saying a sixth child had died of injuries from the crash.

Federal authorities said Walker left the designated bus route and had driven onto a curvy road while carrying 37 children on their way home from Woodmore Elementary School.

Police said he was driving well over

the posted 30 mph limit when he lost control of the bus and slammed into a tree. Several children remain in the hospital.

National Transportation Safety Board Chairman Christopher A. Hart said it’s unclear why Walker left the designated route and drove the bus down Talley Road.

“One of the things we’re exploring is A, has he done it before, and B, if so, why?” Hart said.

He said Walker, who has no criminal record in the state, had taken on a second job at an Amazon Fulfillment Center, and part of the agency’s investigation will look at whether fatigue played a role in the wreck.

The NTSB will also bring in a specialist to analyze video and audio recordings from the bus’s interior cameras that were damaged in Monday’s

wreck.

Police disputed one woman’s claim that the driver asked the children if they were “prepared to die” just before the wreck. Jasmine Mateen, whose 6-year-old daughter was among the dead, said one of her two surviving children who were on the bus told her about the driver’s remarks.

Garrett, however, said at a Wednesday Johnthony news conference: “I want Walker to be very clear on this.

No witness we have spoken with has that information or provided it directly to our investigators.”

He added that investigators have not yet interviewed the children on the bus and asked anyone with additional information to bring it to police.

Three of the children killed were in fourth grade, one in first grade and another in kindergarten, said Kirk Kelly, interim superintendent of Hamilton County schools. The age and identity of the sixth child wasn’t immediately released. A makeshift memorial to them grew up around a telephone pole, with stuffed bears, flowers and dozens of balloons.

Their families remembered them as fun, happy children taken much too soon.

D’Myunn Brown liked to play little tricks on grown-ups. The 6-year-old would snatch a cellphone, hide it, then giggle and bat his big brown eyes.

“That’s what made him so pretty, and he was as sweet as he could be,” said his great-grandmother, Winifred Bray. “I’m still numb. I still can’t believe he’s gone.”

ABOARD THE USS EISENHOWER – While millions of Americans celebrate Thanksgiving with family and homecooked meals, the 5,200 sailors aboard the USS Eisenhower are busy launching fighter jets to strike Islamic State targets in Iraq and Syria.

The crew is spending their second Thanksgiving on duty, and will be carving their own roasted turkeys when their duties aboard the thousand-foot long American aircraft carrier allow.

Some will spend part of the day flying over the Middle East, dropping precision munitions on IS militants.

“It’s not going to stop us from having a great Thanksgiving meal,” Capt.

Paul C. Spedero, Jr. said. “We’re going to watch football when we can. It’ll probably be a little bit time-delayed, but we’re going to do all the things that we can do and what we can expect to do with our families back home,” he said.

He estimates the ship’s fighters have dropped nearly 1,100 bombs in the fight against IS since June, when the Eisenhower began operating in the Persian Gulf. Last Thanksgiving it was deployed off the coast of Virginia.

Rear Admiral James Malloy, commander of the Eisenhower strike group, said his forces are increasingly using precision munitions as IS militants hide and fight among civilians, including in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul.

“They’re actually using civilians in military capacity to shield them, knowing that that would stay the hand of the coalition,” he said. “The power of the

Lt. Jennifer Sandifer, a 27-year old fighter pilot from Austin, Texas, plans to eat her turkey midmorning before donning a flight suit labeled with her call sign, “Fur.” She’ll then climb up a metal ladder and make her way across the bustling flight deck, where engines roar and the air is thick with exhaust fumes. Mechanics and a ground crew there maintain jets for 17 pilots, including her single-seat F/A-18E Super Hornet.

She’ll taxi to the launch point where a catapult will connect to the fighter jet. A sailor known as a shooter will signal Sandifer when the catapult is ready and then she’ll give a final salute before roaring off the carrier going 0 to 145 mph in 2.5 seconds.

On Thanksgiving, as on any other day, she’ll fly six to nine hours and strike targets identified by ground forces, perhaps in Mosul or the Syrian city of Raqqa, the de facto capital of the Islamic State group’s self-styled caliphate.

Antonio Brown is organizing a feast consisting of 4,950 pounds of turkey, 1,050 pounds of ham, 1,200 pounds of beef, 648 pounds of shrimp, 7,000 portions of mashed potatoes, 400 pies, and 200 cheese cakes.

Brown is setting up carving stations for sailors and serving his take on standard Navy recipes, like adding marshmallows to the sweet potatoes.

Brown said Thanksgiving is the most important day of the year for the carrier’s cooks and kitchen staff.

“It’s like the Super Bowl. We care about Christmas, yes indeed, but Thanksgiving we try to show out,” Brown said. “When everybody is able to sit down and eat a nice, healthy, nutritious meal and everything, it’s like it takes them back.”

The carrier’s chaplain, Cmdr. Ted Williams, said sailors would celebrate in small groups across the carrier’s hold on Thanksgiving.

“That bond, that shared experience of being away and being deployed, also brings us together, and that is what we’ll use to draw strength during the day while we’re apart from our families back at home,” he said outside the carrier’s interfaith chapel.

After the Thanksgiving airstrikes and a full day flying, Sandifer will land in the pitch black at night. It’s a feat she calls a “controlled crash” and “one of the most terrifying things I’ve ever done.”

“There’s no horizon, there’s no moon, you can’t really see the stars because there’s just this haze and all you see is this rectangle of lights with a center line in the middle that’s lit up,” she said.

Scenes of panic prevail as hundreds of Iraqis flee Mosul

By BRIAN ROHAN and QASSIM ABDUL–ZAHRA The Associated Press

MOSUL, Iraq – They came by the hundreds – men, women and children fleeing the battle for Mosul, some bloodied and crying out for help. So large was the crowd on the road that Iraqi troops initially ordered them back, worried that an Islamic State suicide bomber could be hiding among them.

Mosul’s residents are fleeing in growing numbers as Iraqi forces push deeper into the country’s second largest city, and the battle-hardened extremists are fighting for every block, exploiting the dense urban terrain and using civilians as human shields.

On Wednesday the tide of displaced people reached the Samah district, where Iraqi medics treated dozens of wounded, including at least six soldiers.

At one point, four children and a man from the same family were rushed into the station, bleeding heavily as their relatives wailed in grief. A mortar round had slammed into the inner courtyard of their home. A few minutes after being brought to the aid station, a 16-month-old girl with a head wound was pronounced dead.

Iraqi special forces soldiers jump from a military truck Wednesday as they arrive to relieve soldiers returning from the battlefield in the Al-Samah front line neighborhood in Mosul, Iraq.

Then the main rush came – hundreds of civilians racing forward on a dirt road. The troops ordered them to halt, saying they had intelligence that IS might send suicide bombers disguised as civilians. One of the men raised his shirt to show that he wasn’t armed, saying he was desperate for food.

Mosul, which fell to IS militants

in the summer of 2014, still is home to more than 1 million people. Fearing a mass exodus, authorities have urged residents to stay inside their homes.

But the presence of civilians has prevented the U.S.-backed Iraqi forces from using overwhelming force, slowing their advance and prolonging the city’s agony.

The U.N. says at least 68,000 people have fled the fighting in Mosul, including 8,300 over the past four days.

Later on Wednesday, Iraqi soldiers arrived from the front lines with a man who was bound and hooded. They said they had caught him burning tires to help the militants hide from airstrikes and the drones that buzzed overhead.

Trembling, the man said he had been forced to aid the extremists.

Black Humvees carried wounded soldiers back from the front. The body of a special forces soldier killed in combat was wrapped in a blanket on the hood of a vehicle. The Iraqi military does not release official casualty figures, but field medics said dozens of troops have been killed and wounded since the Mosul operation began last month.

Mortar rounds, artillery and gunfire rang out throughout the day, punctuated by occasional booms from airstrikes that sent plumes of smoke into the air.

A pre-dawn airstrike by the U.S.led coalition struck a bridge across the Tigris River, which divides the city in two, leaving only one crossing intact and disrupting IS supply lines. It was the second bridge to be struck this week, and two other bridges were destroyed by airstrikes last month.

OUR VIEW

Blessed on Thanksgiving Thanksgiving was declared a federal holiday

by President Abraham Lincoln during the darkest days of our republic.

It was Oct. 3, 1863. The country was in the midst of a terrible Civil War. Only months earlier, about 50,000 soldiers had lost their lives in a three-day battle fought on the hills and farm fields around a small borough in southern Pennsylvania called Gettysburg.

Amid the fighting and strife, Lincoln appealed to the people to give thanks, noting the year had been “filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies.”

“To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added, which are of so extraordinary a nature, that they cannot fail to penetrate and soften even the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever-watchful providence of Almighty God,” the proclamation, which was written by Secretary of State William Seward and signed by Lincoln, said. “… It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and one voice by the whole American People.”

Americans gave thanks during those difficult times, as they have for almost 150 years since, and in that spirit, let us do so today.

Some of us are so blessed on this Thanksgiving – with friends and family, the trappings of success and the promise of a bright and beautiful tomorrow – that giving thanks will be easy.

For others, it will be harder. Perhaps, like so many families in 1863, we have loved ones who cannot be with us because they are serving in the armed forces. Or maybe this year will be difficult because we recently have lost people we love. Or maybe things just aren’t going well in our lives.

Yet all of us can find some reason to give thanks, to celebrate the day and find comfort in the things that make our lives special and worth living.

Yes, this has been a year marked by disagreement and division on political matters.

But the Thanksgiving holiday should transcend our differences. Set forth at a time when the country was most divided and most in peril, it is meant to help us cut through the negativity and sadness in our lives and allow us to focus on those things that make our lives special, that give us joy and comfort.

We wish for all of you to enjoy this Thanksgiving and to share it with those who matter to you – whether all of them can be with you in person or not.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

IT’S YOUR WRITE Giving thanks

To the Editor: In this season when we are joining our families for Thanksgiving and perhaps over-indulging a bit, I’d like to thank all the folks who volunteer in our community and make Crystal Lake such a wonderful place to raise our families.

Thanks to the public officials – the mayor and city council, city committees and commissions who set the tone that encourages its citizens to participate. Thanks to service club members who organize and provide enjoyable fundraisers and then donate the proceeds for needed services. Thanks to business owners who contribute to an endless list of raffles at these events. Church members often sort at food pantries, ring bells for the Salvation Army or work the PADS site. The list goes on.

It is hard to estimate the actual number of volunteer hours donated to our community. And it is hard to

be a volunteer, to put in the hours to plan, learn and execute these activities, and much easier to disapprove and complain instead of offering assistance and getting involved.

In spite of the current national mood, we live, work and play here in McHenry County, and the more citizens who actually help solve local issues and challenges, the better our community will be.

Thanks to all of those who do what they can to help others. If you have some time and energy, it might be a good time to step up to join one of these efforts.

How kind people can be

To the Editor: With so many sad stories, I thought I might share a good one.

Doug and Maggie Crane were having dinner a day or two ago

at the Woodstock Public House on the Square. They learned the restaurant was preparing free dinners for many needy families for Thanksgiving.

Doug and Maggie deliver excess farm produce to the nearest food pantry for Farmers Helping the Hungry. They knew John and Myra Padryk on Route 173 wanted to donate squash to the pantries as Doug had delivered to the Woodstock and Crystal Lake pantries the previous day.

Due to the freeze overnight, any remaining squash might be unusable, but by a stroke of luck, the wonderful Padryks had put some in their barn overnight. Doug picked the squash up and took it to the Public House, thus helping to feed hundreds of needy a great Thanksgiving dinner. Sometimes one forgets how kind people can be.

BUSINESS A look at some Trump business ties that pose conflicts

By BERNARD CONDON The Associated Press

NEW YORK – After Ivanka Trump appeared on CBS’s “60 Minutes” wearing a $10,800 bracelet from her jewelry line, someone at her company sent photos from the interview to fashion writers to drum up free publicity. A firestorm of criticism erupted over the impropriety of profiting off the presidency, and the company apologized.

If only the bracelet brouhaha was the end of it.

Experts on government ethics are warning President-elect Donald Trump that he’ll never shake suspicions of a clash between his private interests and the public good if he doesn’t sell off his vast holdings, which include about 500 companies in more than a dozen countries. They say just the appearance of conflicts is likely to tie up the new administration in investigations, lawsuits and squabbles, stoked perhaps by angry Oval Office tweets.

“People are itching to sue Donald Trump and stick him under oath,” said Richard Painter, chief White House ethics lawyer for George W. Bush.

In an interview with The New York Times on Tuesday, Trump insisted that the “law’s totally on my side,” and ethics experts agree that federal conflicts of interest rules don’t apply to the president so he can run his business pretty much the way he pleases while in office. His company, The Trump Organization, had no comment on the conflicts issue, other than a statement reiterating its plans to transfer control of the company to three of the president-elect’s adult children.

Painter doesn’t think that goes far enough. In a letter to Trump last week, he joined watchdog groups and ethics lawyers from both Democratic and Republican administrations in predicting “rampant, inescapable” conflicts that will engulf the new administration if the president-elect does not liquidate his business holdings.

A look at some areas where conflicts may arise:

New hotel

For use of the government-owned Old Post Office for his new Washington hotel, Trump agreed on annual rent to the government in a contract that was signed more than three years ago.

So what possibly could be the problem now?

Plenty, said Steven Schooner, a professor of government procurement law at George Washington University who has studied the contract. In addition to base rent, the president-elect agreed to additional annual payments based on various financial measures of how well the hotel is doing. Schooner said such payments typically require drawn out negotiations each year.

“How can anyone expect a government employee to negotiate with the Trump family at arm’s length and treat the Trump family like any other contractor?” Schooner said.

Schooner said he thinks Trump should terminate the contract because, even if the Trump family acts honorably, the appearance of a conflict will spread doubt throughout the contracting system. Federal rules prohibit government employees and elected officials from

striking contracting deals with the government for just this reason, although the president is exempted.

As president, Trump will have the authority to appoint a new head to the General Services Administration, the federal agency that signed the lease with Trump and will negotiate the rent each year.

Business at the hotel could get a lift if foreign dignitaries decide to stay at the new hotel to curry favor with the new president.

In addition to the Washington hotel, Trump Organization leases land from some local governments, including for a golf course in New York City and one in Florida.

Foreign affairs

Trump’s extensive operations abroad raise the possibility that his foreign policy could be shaped by his business interests, and vice versa. Trump has struck real estate deals in South Korea, the Philippines, Indonesia, Uruguay, Panama, India and Turkey, among other countries.

In June, Turkish media reported that President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called for Trump’s name to be removed from the Trump Towers in Istanbul because of what Erdogan characterized as anti-Muslim comments by the candidate. A NATO member, Turkey is a key ally in fighting the Islamic State group in Syria.

In India, the newspaper Economic Times reported that Trump held a meeting in New York a week after his election with business partners who put up the Trump Towers Pune in the western part of the country. The president-elect also

has a Trump-branded residential tower in Mumbai with another company.

Kenneth Gross, head of political law at the firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, said Trump’s business ties will raise suspicions that he is getting special deals abroad because he is president, and that this runs the risk of violating the Emolument Clause. That is a section of the U.S. Constitution that forbids public officials from receiving gifts from foreign governments and foreign-controlled companies without the consent of Congress.

“He can’t avoid conflicts,” said Gross, “unless he sells his assets.”

Trump lender

One of Trump’s biggest lenders is Deutsche Bank, a German giant in settlement negotiations with the Department of Justice on its role in the mortgage blowup that triggered the 2008 financial crisis. The hit to Deutsche could be substantial, with the government reportedly demanding $14 billion.

Will a Justice Department under Trump go easy on the bank? It’s not clear anyone will know. Trump will nominate the head of that agency, too.

One possible response is for Trump to make sure the Deutsche case is handled by career civil servants at Justice, and any appointee such as the Attorney General is recused. A career civil servant doesn’t have to worry about being fired if he goes against Trump’s wishes, but may still worry about displeasing bosses connected to the president.

More than 300 positions at Justice are currently held by presidential appointees.

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 2016

LOS ANGELES – Madonna said she is supporting son Rocco Ritchie after reports surfaced Wednesday that the 16-year-old was arrested for possession of marijuana in London.

Madonna released a statement to The Associated Press on Wednesday calling the September arrest “a family matter.”

She said: “I love my son very much. I will do whatever I can to give him the support that he needs, and I ask that you respect our privacy at this time.”

Rocco was the subject of a months-long custody dispute between Madonna and ex-husband Guy Ritchie.

Author H. G. Wells’ “The Haunted Ceiling” will appear in The Strand Magazine, a literary quarterly that has unearthed obscure works by F. Scott Fitzgerald, John Steinbeck.

H.G. Wells ghost story published for first time NEW YORK – Here’s an odd story from long ago: A man by the name of Meredith has converted a room in his house to a cluttered, dirty study. Meredith has a taste for Scotch whisky and one day asks a visiting friend, the story’s narrator, if he doesn’t notice something odd about the ceiling.

“Don’t you see it?” he said.

“See what?”

“The – thing. The woman.”

“I shook my head and looked at him.”

“All right then,” he said abruptly. “Don’t see it!”

This brief hybrid of ghost tale and detective story is called “The Haunted Ceiling,” and its author is H.G. Wells, later known for such science-fiction classics as “The Invisible Man” and “The Time Machine.” He apparently wrote “The Haunted Ceiling” in the mid-1890s, when he was about 30, and left it unseen by others. It debuts this week, more than a century later.

“The atmosphere of this story was vintage Wells in that his stories always had the theme of an individual who is completely alone and is struggling to understand something mysterious,” said Andrew Gulli, managing editor of The Strand Magazine, a literary quarterly in which “The Haunted Ceiling” appears.

Gulli said he found “The Haunted Ceiling” after contacting the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and asking for materials from the school’s Wells archive. After looking through more than 3,000 pages of manuscripts, he came upon the story and realized it was unpublished.

NEW YORK – A motorcycle that Bruce Springsteen was riding when a group of veterans found him broken down on the side of a New Jersey road was built by none other than Billy Joel.

Joel told an audience in New York on Monday he gave The Boss the motorcycle, which broke down on Veterans Day. Joel sang Springsteen’s “Born to Run” and then told the crowd he called Springsteen when he saw the news. Joel said he apologized, and Springsteen replied, “No worries.”

Joel built the motorcycle for Springsteen at the 20th Century Cycles shop in Oyster Bay, a town in Long Island.

Some bikers from the Freehold American Legion found Springsteen on the side of the road. He hopped on the back of one of their bikes and headed to a local bar while he waited for a ride.

Laurie Hernandez wins ‘Dancing with the Stars’

LOS ANGELES – Olympic gold medalist Laurie Hernandez can add a “Dancing with the Stars” crown to her 2016 haul after winning the 23rd season of the ABC reality competition.

The 16-year-old gymnast took home the Mirrorball Trophy after the conclusion of a two-episode finale Tuesday night.

Hernandez and partner Val Chmerkovskiy received a perfect score for one of their dances during the finale and 38 points out of a possible 40 for another.

They beat out Canadian race car driver James Hinchcliffe and his partner, Sharna Burgess, for the crown. Former NFL star

wide receiver Calvin Johnson and partner Lindsay Arnold came in third.

Pumpkin-flinging TV special canceled after explosion BRIDGEVILLE, Del. – The Science Channel has canceled its planned TV special on a Delaware pumpkin-launching competition after a woman was critically injured during the event earlier this month.

Science Channel spokesman Paul Schur said in a statement that the network has canceled the Saturday night three-hour “Punkin Chunkin” special. The show also was going to air on the Discovery Channel.

Delaware State Police said in a statement that an air cannon’s trap door ripped off the machine after the cannon fired a pumpkin on Nov. 6. A 39-year-old woman was hit by chunks of metal and remains in critical condition. A 56-year-old man also was hurt.

Doctor indicted after death of 3 Doors Down guitarist

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – An Alabama doctor is accused of illegally prescribing drugs that contributed to the overdose death of longtime 3 Doors Down guitarist Matt Roberts earlier this year, court documents show.

Newly unsealed records show Dr. Richard Snellgrove of Fairhope, Alabama, is charged with illegally prescribing Fentanyl, an opioid pain medication, and another drug to Roberts days before he was found dead of a overdose in August in West Bend, Wisconsin.

Records show Snellgrove, 59, was named in a six-count federal indictment in October.

The charges were not made public until a judge unsealed them last week.

34 New medicines offer relief for RA sufferers Note to readers: This column originally ran in November 2014.

Dear Dr. K: I have rheumatoid arthritis.

Can you explain what is happening in my body to cause such uncomfortable symptoms?

Dear Reader: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic (long-term) disease. It causes painful and sometimes disabling inflammation of the joints. RA also can affect other tissues in the body, such as the skin, eyes, lungs and blood vessels.

RA is an autoimmune disease. That means the immune system mistakenly identifies normal, healthy cells as dangerous and attempts to destroy them. Why does this happen? Do the normal, healthy cells somehow “look” foreign to the immune system? Or is there something in the normal cells, such as a virus that hasn’t yet been discovered, that attracts the attention of the immune system?

There are a lot of scientists trying to figure that out.

In RA, the immune system targets synovial joints, the movable joints found in the shoulders, elbows, wrists, fingers, hips, knees, ankles and toes. In these joints, a protective layer of cartilage covers the ends of the bones where they meet. The joints take their name from the synovium, a membrane that lines the joint.

The synovium produces synovial fluid, a thick, sticky, yellowish liquid. It lubricates the joint and minimizes friction. It also forms a seal that allows neighboring bones to slide freely against each other without pulling apart.

RA occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the synovium. The attacking cells release inflammatory chemicals that increase blood flow to the site. They direct an army of white blood cells, germ-fighters and other substances into the invaded tissue. White blood cells

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff produce intense inflammation.

In response to the inflammation, synovial cells also begin to multiply. This causes the normally smooth synovium to form a rough, grainy tissue called pannus. The pannus grows into the previously empty space in the joint. In addition, synovial cells and other cells produce chemicals that eat away at the cartilage in the joint.

Together, the pannus and the inflammatory chemicals badly damage the joint. If the tendons become inflamed, they may shorten and prevent the joint from bending. If the tendons rupture, the joint may become loose or floppy.

In a normal immune system response, inflammation subsides when the threat is removed. But in RA, the immune response is not normal; it continues indefinitely. This prolonged inflammation can be devastating.

The result is swelling, redness, heat and pain in the joints. Ultimately, the joints can be so badly damaged they become deformed. People with RA can have great difficulty walking, bending, lifting or using their hands.

As RA progresses, it can limit a person’s ability to carry out normal daily activities such as dressing, bathing and walking. However, with medications, good self-care and, if necessary, surgery, most people with RA can avoid disability. In the past decade, research has led to powerful new medicines that prevent the slow destruction of the joints in many people with RA. I hope your doctor has prescribed one of these medicines for you.

O B I W A N

letter with readers who might be wondering what to give their relatives at Christmas. And I’m sure your generosity is deeply appreciated by your family. Thank you for writing.

Dear Abby: My husband and I have been dining out with another couple about twice a month. We have not been able to entertain them at our home because it is not easily accessible and the man is in a wheelchair. Over the past several months, his health has declined. His mind is sharp, but his body is weakening.

The last time we met them for dinner, we couldn’t understand what he was saying, so his wife “interpreted.” Also, when he tries to eat, the food falls out of his mouth onto a bib and from there to the floor.

Abby, we just don’t know what to do. We really like this couple, but it is nauseating to watch him eat with food falling out of his mouth. Plus, the other patrons at the restaurants are starting to stare. We look forward to your advice. – People Are Starting To Stare Dear People: If this couple ever needed understanding friends, it’s now. Because you are embarrassed to be seen with them in a restaurant, consider bringing a take-out meal to their home. Granted, watching your friend struggle is painful. But if he’s going downhill as rapidly as you say, he needs your support more than ever, and so does his wife. And when he’s gone, you’ll know you did the right thing.

DEAR ABBY With the holiday shopping season Jeanne already here, may Phillips I suggest another way to look at gift giving? We all want to give the perfect gift to family members. Some gifts can cost a lot of money and some not. I would like people to take a step back and consider who they are buying for.

I stopped buying gifts for my parents and sister 10 years ago. Because their money is tight, I have been stocking their pantries with food and staples. I am well off enough financially that I have been able to fill their freezers with enough meat to last three months or more.

At Thanksgiving, my husband and I load up our car and bring the meat with us. Then my mom, sister, grandma and I go to the grocery store and buy staples for the pantry and what we need to make freezer meals. Abby, this takes so much pressure off them.

Food is expensive. So instead of buying Dad that new TV or sound system, or your sister that designer handbag, pause and take a hard look at their situation. Sometimes the need for basics outweighs the desire for the latest and greatest gadgets. Even paying a bill or two can help. Or gift cards for groceries.

I never expect presents from my family; all I want is for them to have some freedom in their lives from the daily worries. – New Way Of

What to watch NFL: Minnesota at Detroit, 11:30 a.m., CBS The Vikings visit the Lions in a matchup of the co-leaders of the NFC North.

LAKE ZURICH – A quick start was exactly what the Johnsburg girls basketball team needed Wednesday afternoon on the final day of the Turkey Thriller Tournament at Lake Zurich High School.

The Skyhawks (3-3) scored the game’s first seven points, then cruised to a 60-46 win over Lakes. Despite struggling from the field and shooting 9 of 28 in the first half, Johnsburg pulled down 11 offensive rebounds in the game’s first 16 minutes.

The ensuing second-chance points that followed made a huge difference.

“When you start seeing rebounding numbers like that, it’s a good thing, but it also means you’ve missed a lot of shots,” Johnsburg coach Brad Frey said.

No one created more of those additional opportunities than sophomore Megan Madsen, who finished with nine points and 15 rebounds, including seven offensive.

“I just try to play my hardest out there at all times,” Madsen said. “Effort and hustle are two things you have full control of as a player.”

The Skyhawks built a 10-point lead by halftime, but Madsen wasn’t the only one creating extra possessions. Senior guard Cortland Sommerfeldt had six steals and is fifth in school history behind fourth-place Paige Fiedorowicz in career steals, Frey said.

Sommerfeldt, who has been on varsity since she was a freshman, made her 200th steal the night before. But she wasn’t about to take all the credit.

“So much of it is instinct,” Sommerfeldt said. “I just try to be as active as I can with my hands. But a lot of those steals come from my teammates pressuring the ball.”

The Skyhawks used a 2-3 zone defense almost exclusively against Lakes, which requires the kind of team effort Sommerfeldt refers to. Junior Aannah Interrante, who had a season-high and game-high 21 points, provided the biggest spark offensively.

“Aannah is definitely a streaky shooter at times, but when she’s on, we just encourage her to keep firing away at the basket,” Frey said. “She can put points

Morgan Madsen, who is Megan’s twin sister, also finished in double-digits with 11 points, five rebounds and four steals. Johnsburg got stronger as the game went on, shooting 11 of 20 in the second half.

Although the Skyhawks do not have one lights-out superstar player on their roster, collectively, they hope the puzzle pieces fit together well enough to become something special by the end of the season.

“Aannah is the one getting all the Division I looks (she’s got a scholarship offer from Northern Illinois), but we’ve got a group of girls here who are unselfish, and they’ve all really seemed to grasp the concepts we’re trying to teach,” Frey said. “It will be fun to see how the rest of this season plays out.”

Sarah Zellmann (15 points) and Sara Smith (10 points) led the way for Lakes (1-4), which cut the deficit to seven points in the third quarter but came no closer.

OUTSIDE THE BOX SCORE q UNSUNG HERO Megan Madsen Johnsburg, so., G

Madsen was a monster on the glass, pulling down 15 rebounds. She missed a double-double by a point, and had four assists. She was efficient, too, making three of her four field goal attempts.

Johnsburg attempted 24 free throws, which was 10 more than Lakes. Sixteen of those came in the second half, as the Skyhawks, who shot 10 first-half 3-pointers, and only three in the second half, were much less perimeter-oriented during the latter part of the game.

Coaches never took fun out of football

It seems like just yesterday it was the first day of summer camp, and now here we are in Week 14, almost six months later, and all the work we put in has paid off. It seems surreal to actually be playing for a state championship, especially the first one in school history.

I have to give a lot of credit for us being where we are today to our strength and conditioning coach, Namon Johnson. He has been a big key to our success. He always has pushed us to do better than we thought we could. Although he pushes us, he never takes the fun out of it.

None of our coaches does. We always have time to have fun and mess around, and we also have time to be serious and locked in. I think they have done a really good job of making practice something you look forward to, which is hard to do for 14 straight weeks after an entire summer, but they do a good job of it.

Personally, my favorite thing about practice is having music on during it, especially on “Fergie Wednesdays.” You wouldn’t think to see 40 or 50 guys dancing in football gear to Fergie, but if you stop at a practice on any given Wednesday, you’re going to see it.

I think heading into this week, there still will be the same energy during practice. Everyone is happy to be there and just having a good time. It has been a great ride, and I don’t think I could have imagined a better senior year between the great group of guys we have, the great coaching staff and an amazing town behind us. I can’t wait for Friday and, hopefully, we come home with a state championship.

Skyhawks’ unlikely anthem

By SEAN HAMMOND

shammond@shawmedia.com When the bass drum hits the first beat, their eyes light up.

By the second bass note, their hands are clapped high above their heads.

They continue clapping with the beat, letting their arms fall between claps.

The song blares at every Johnsburg home game. Usually once before the game, once at halftime when the team retakes the field, and then again if the Skyhawks win.

And the Skyhawks have done nothing but win in 2016.

For reasons that never were intentional, Billy Squier’s 1981 single “The Stroke” has become their rallying song.

Coach Dan DeBoeuf laughed when asked about it this week as his team prepared for its first trip to the IHSA state finals, where it will meet Rochester in the Class 4A title game Friday.

“It’s kind of our anthem,” DeBoeuf said.

After beating Genoa-Kingston in the quarterfinals, the Skyhawks sang the school fight song with the Johnsburg fans and then the first song over the loudspeaker was “The Stroke.” Players started clapping, and soon the crowd followed suit.

The story behind Johnsburg’s connection with the song dates back more than a year.

“When it really clicked was last year on the way home from Pontiac,” senior safety Blake Lemcke said.

Johnsburg beat Pontiac in the first round of the 2015 playoffs. The Skyhawks took a coach bus to the game and watched “Friday Night Lights” on the way there. On the way back – still on an emotional high from the win – the team popped in “Blades of Glory,” starring Will Ferrell.

The 2007 movie, a comedy about two rival figure skaters, opens with Jimmy MacElroy (played by Jon Heder) skating an elegant routine to “Con te partiro” by Italian classical tenor Andrea Bocelli. The crowd goes wild and the announcers are in awe of MacElroy.

Then Chazz Michael Michaels (Ferrell) enters, talks some smack to MacElroy, and over the sound system comes “The Stroke.”

“Step aside homeschool, there’s a new sheriff in town,” Ferrell’s character says.

Ferrell claps his hands above his head while he skates and the crowd transforms from a hushed figure skating audience into something more closely resembling a rock concert.

On the Johnsburg bus that day in 2015, a handful of Skyhawks players started clapping over their heads like Ferrell. More followed. Soon, the whole bus was doing it.

“Our bus was so fired up about the

win, everybody was doing the overhead clap together,” DeBoeuf said. “It kind of stuck.”

Quarterback Riley Buchanan couldn’t remember who exactly started the clap.

“I couldn’t pinpoint one person, but I think seven, eight guys started at once,” he said. “Then it just kept on going with the rest of the guys jumping in.”

Johnsburg lost to Chicago Phillips in the second round last year, but the memory of that bus ride never went away. The coaches put the song on the team’s practice playlist.

“Coach likes to have music on at practice,” Lemcke said. “After hearing it every day at practice, you start to pick up on it.”

At games this year, whenever it comes on during warm-ups, the players waiting their turn to run a play, a route or a drill will keep the clap going. “(It’s) kind of like a thing: Guys, we’ve got this,” Buchanan said. “We also know that the game of football is an awesome game, and it’s supposed to be fun. You’ve got to relax, that’s just kind of our team thing, I guess.”

It’s that much more fun after a win, too.

“It’s a great way to get the crowd involved,” Buchanan said. “It’s awesome, a great way to unite the community together and a cool thing to be a part of.”

Judge rules against Fenwick; Plainfield N. to play for title

By JEFF ARNOLD For Shaw Media

CHICAGO – Plainfield North will play for the Class 7A football state championship Saturday as scheduled after a Cook County judge Wednesday ruled in favor of the IHSA after a controversial finish in last weekend’s state semifinal against Fenwick Judge Kathleen Kennedy delivered her decision in front of a standing-room-only courtroom crowd after she had deliberated for about 45 minutes after arguments by attorneys representing the IHSA and Fenwick.

Fenwick filed a lawsuit against the IHSA and was seeking a temporary restraining order after Plainfield North’s 18-17 overtime semifinal victory. An official mistakenly provided Plainfield North an untimed down at the end of regulation after calling an intentional grounding penalty when Fenwick was trying to run out the clock and leading, 10-7.

The untimed down allowed Plainfield North to kick a game-tying field goal before it won in overtime to advance to

“Well, I don’t feel like it’s a win.

It’s tough on both sides.”

Craig Anderson

IHSA executive director the title game against East St. Louis in Champaign.

“Here, as on the playing field, one side wins and one side loses,” Kennedy said while issuing her decision inside the Daley Center courtroom.

Kennedy ruled that Fenwick had proved it suffered “irreparable harm” because of the official’s incorrect call, but that it did not prove the IHSA had applied its rules inconsistently.

The IHSA Board of Directors declined to hear an appeal from Fenwick on Monday, which led Fenwick to seek the restraining order Wednesday. IHSA attorney David Bressler called Fenwick’s attempt to get the game result overturned in court “absurd.”

After Wednesday’s hearing, IHSA Executive Director Craig Anderson – who

has held the post for 10 months – was subdued in his reaction to Kennedy’s decision.

“Well, I don’t feel like it’s a win,” Anderson said. “It’s tough on both sides, and it’s a tough decision to make. We’re glad that the judge ruled and followed the law.”

The IHSA later issued a statement that read “there are no winners in this circumstance. It is simply a resolution.

“The Fenwick High School community has been dealt a pair of devastating blows over the past few days, while Plainfield North had a historic moment shrouded in controversy simply for following the rules provided for them, first by the game officials, and then by the IHSA.” Todd Faulkner, who represented Plainfield North at Wednesday’s hearing, called the situation tough for both involved parties. He said Fenwick’s lawsuit against the IHSA demonstrated how important sports have become in society. Faulkner said Fenwick representatives approached him after the hearing and wished Plainfield North luck in Saturday’s state championship game.

“We appreciate the best wishes and are very hopeful Plainfield North emerges as state champion on Saturday,” Faulkner said.

In a statement issued after Wednesday’s hearing, Plainfield North reiterated its empathy for Fenwick players and their supporters but appreciated Kennedy’s decision.

Fenwick Principal Peter Groom read from a statement after Kennedy’s ruling, which he called disheartening. Groom said the district owed Fenwick students a fair hearing of their grievance, but said the private Catholic school, located in Oak Park, would seek no other action after Wednesday’s hearing.

“Now, it is finished,” said Groom, who added the focus needs to shift back to the 16 teams that will compete in eight state title games this weekend.

During the hearing, Fenwick attorney Peter Rush said the IHSA had breached its contract by allowing a game official to extend the game after time had expired. Rush said Fenwick was not appealing the call on the field, but instead, the decision to give Plainfield North an untimed down.

NIU lets another late lead slip away in loss to Cal Poly

By JESSE SEVERSON

jseverson@shawmedia.com with wire reports DeKALB – Coach Mark Montgomery calls it winning time, and it hasn’t been kind to his Northern Illinois men’s basketball team the past two games.

Branca, pitcher who gave up ‘Shot Heard ’Round World,’ dies

Ralph Branca’s career was defined by that one high-and-inside fastball.

The Brooklyn Dodgers pitcher who gave up Bobby Thomson’s famed “Shot Heard ’Round the World” that still echoes more than six decades later as one of the most famous home runs in baseball history, died Wednesday. He was 90.

His son-in-law, former big league manager Bobby Valentine, said Branca died at a nursing home in Rye Brook, New York.

Branca was a three-time All-Star and spent 12 seasons in the majors. Brought in from the bullpen in the bottom of the ninth inning during the deciding Game 3 of the National League pennant playoff in 1951, he gave up a three-run homer to Thomson that gave the rival New York Giants a stunning 5-4 victory.

The one-out line drive into the left field lower deck at the Polo Grounds prompted the frenetic call from announcer Russ Hodges, “The Giants win the pennant! The Giants win the pennant!” The team and its fans cel-

ebrated wildly as Thomson breezed around the bases while Branca, wearing his unlucky No. 13 jersey, trudged off the mound.

Cavaliers’ Love scores 34 points in first quarter, finishes with 40

CLEVELAND – Kevin Love didn’t think anything unusual was going on Wednesday night. The scoreboard told a different story.

Love scored 40 points, including an NBA-record 34 in the first quarter, and the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Portland Trail Blazers, 137-125.

Love fell three points shy of the league record for points in any quarter, set by Golden State’s Klay Thompson, who scored 37 in the third Jan. 23, 2015.

As his point total grew on every possession and the Quicken Loans Arena crowd was on its feet each time shot the ball, Love just went about his business.

LeBron James recorded his 44th career triple-double with 31 points, 10 rebounds and 13 assists.

OUTDOORS Steve Sarley on all of your rods. If they pick up wisps of cotton from the cotton balls, that means there is a nick on the guide. It needs to be repaired or commit the rod to mothballs. Sure as shooting, that nick will break your light ice fishing line, and it most probably will happen while you are reeling in your best fish of the day.

Drilling holes in ice manually with a nonpower ice auger is one of the worst tasks I can think of in the world of the outdoors. It is even worse if you are trying to do this chore with an auger blade that is in need of sharpening. It’s easy and inexpensive to have your blades honed to a sharp edge, so why not get it done? Power augers need sharpening, too, by the way.

Besides falling through the ice, the only thing that can cut an ice outing that short is discovering that your ice boots aren’t as waterproof as you thought they were. I find that Kiwi Camp Dry is the absolute best product out there for waterproofing a pair of boots or shoes. Just because that favorite pair of insulated boots kept you bone dry last winter is no guarantee they will perform in a like manner this season.

Treat them before it’s too late.

Last, but not least, I recommend that you put in a few idle hours practicing your knot tying. I know, that is not a happy thought. As a matter of fact, I can sense that most of you are rolling your eyes at me as you read this. Well, I am dead serious about this one.

You’re using very light line for ice fishing. You likely will be using line as light as 4-pound, or even 2-pound test fluorocarbon for chasing ice panfish.

This stuff is a much different animal than what you’ve been using all year

long. It’s thin. I mean, really thin. This stuff feels like a baby’s hair. It’s so limp it is almost impossible to tie a knot in under normal conditions, let alone in below-zero temperatures with stiff, frozen fingers.

Come on, sit in your favorite easy chair in front of the TV and try tying knots in this ultra-light weight line.

It’s tough to do, and it is slow going.

If you practice for a while, you’ll find that you will be able to quickly tie your favorite knots. Now, when you get on the frozen waters of your favorite lake or pond, you’ll be quicker at tying than you would have been if you hadn’t practiced. I swear to you this is true. Do it now, and you’ll thank me for the tip later.

Now, come on, ice.

OUTDOORS REPORT Northern Illinois: Dave Kranz from

Dave’s Bait, Tackle and Taxidermy in Crystal Lake reports: “The cooler temperatures, the opening of the first shotgun season and skim ice on some ponds and lakes have done a number on fishing in northern Illinois. Hopefully, we will be ice fishing in a couple of weeks or less. Call 815-455-2040 for an update on any fishing in our area.”

Chain of Lakes: Chris Taurisano of T-Bone Guide Service (tboneguideservice.com – 630-330-0090) sends word, “This week was very good for the multispecies bite. We found some decent walleye action and lots of crappies and white bass. The fish still are in less than 15 feet of water. Plastics, blade baits, and Jigging Raps have been the top producers. We saw a few days of good muskie action and a few days of little to no muskie action. The cold is here and probably is here to stay. Fish will be getting into their first ice locations and, hopefully, schooling up well.”

hours this past weekend. All our fish were quality fish, between 18 and 20 inches, but the bites were very light and one really had to be patient, except for the largest one I caught that just nailed the bait. Fish were scattered throughout the water column, but all my catches were in the 20- to 24-foot range.

The water temperatures were in the 51to 52-degree range, which is definitely above what it should be this time of year. Water temperatures will continue to drop, but unfortunately the piers will be pulled shortly. As of the weekend, the docks still were in at Williams Bay, but based on history, they will be removed within the next week or so.

NOTES Archery deer hunting: Through Nov.

13, Illinois archery deer hunters harvested 39,370 deer, compared to 38,076 for the same period in 2015. The harvest to date has consisted of 44 percent does During the past week, the harvest consisted of 69 percent males with strong rutting activity ongoing. The top five counties were Pike (1,562), Fulton (1,116), Adams (936), Jefferson (894) and JoDaviess (807). The totals for some selected northern Illinois counties are McHenry (370), Lake (144), Winnebago (374), Kane (152), DuPage (13), DeKalb (138), Boone (93) and Cook (56).

Firearm deer hunting: Illinois hunters harvested a total of 54,452 deer during the first weekend of the Illinois Firearm Deer Season on Friday through Sunday.

Hunters took 57,870 deer during the first firearm weekend in 2015. Illinois’ seven-day Firearm Deer Season will conclude Dec. 1 to 4. The totals for some selected northern Illinois counties for the first firearm season are McHenry (168), Lake (5), Winnebago (217), Kane (18), DeKalb (79) and Boone (87).

BRINGING THE NORTHWOODS TO YOU!

• Thursday, November 24, 2016

It’s humorous to me to see how the weather changes and the calendar affect the habits and moods of outdoorsmen.

Hunters who fish, or fishermen who hunt, find themselves in a quandary in the late fall when the bow season kicks in at the same time that giant muskies are on the pre-freeze prowl. It amazes me how many of the most famous professional anglers get themselves all twisted emotionally trying to decide whether to climb a tree stand with bow in hand searching for whitetail or throw giant artificial baits hunting for a 50-inch-plus muskie.

We’ve just lived through one of the most incredibly beautiful early Novembers anyone can remember, and goose hunters were hoping for colder temps. Just the same, muskie fishermen were cursing the weather gods for the warm weather they bestowed on us.

The aficionados of the art of ice fishing disdained the warm spell and hoped for below-32-degree temperatures that would bring them their beloved ice.

I guess there are really no perfect weather conditions that suit the needs of all fishermen and hunters. That said, I’m no professional prognosticator, but I can virtually guarantee that ice is on the way.

Fishermen are notorious procrastinators, and those of the ice fishing ilk are no better than their open-water counterparts at getting ready for their long awaited season.

Come on, folks, you’ve been iceless for about eight months. Why aren’t you ready to hit the hard water? What have you been waiting for?

I have a few tips that you really ought to jump on now while you still have the chance to prepare before that stuff covers our waterways, Ice reels don’t require as much maintenance as open-water reels, but ice rods need to be checked carefully.

he can to be prepared as he can if he is in fact the starting quarterback.”

Barkley, who attempted 49 passes in 2013 and only one since before his game in Green Bay, has yet to throw an NFL touchdown. He did get plenty of big-game experience at USC and in nationally televised high school games at Mater Dei. “I don’t like to see the big picture when it comes to living in that moment, I like to focus on the task at hand,” he said. “That’s kind of carried with me up until this point and I’ve learned a lot from other quarterbacks in this league that I’ve been with who kind of had that same mentality, so that’s helped.”

Fales returns: The Bears re-signed their 2014 sixth-round pick, who spent this season on the Ravens’ practice squad. Fales said it didn’t take long to reacquaint himself with the playbook and that he is more familiar with it than what he had in Baltimore.

The Bears also promoted linebacker Jonathan Anderson from the practice squad to give the team some depth on special teams, as Nick Kwiatkoski is expected to start for the suspended Jerrell Freeman. They placed tight end Zach Miller (foot) on injured reserve.

BLACKHAWKS NOTES

Quenneville splits up Kane, Toews

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com SAN JOSE, Calif. – It’s easy to assume that any time Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane are on the ice together, the Blackhawks are going to score goals in bunches. But hockey is not that simple, and the dynamic duo’s 13 games together were sometimes great, sometimes lousy and usually just kind of mediocre.

“The two of us, obviously, want to go out there and create every single shift,” Toews said. “But sometimes, if you’re off by one play, or if you’re off by just a step or two, you’re not going to get the results, especially with the way the game is nowadays. It’s so fast, and there’s not really much of a margin for error. We can’t be too hard on ourselves.”

Coach Joel Quenneville’s grand experiment – putting his two biggest stars on the same line in the regular season for the first time since the late 2000s – ended Wednesday in a late game against the San Jose Sharks, as the Hawks coach went back to what he wanted all along, and what he knows works.

Kane is back on the second line with

Artemi Panarin and Artem Anisimov, reforming a line that was arguably the best in hockey last season. And Toews is back with his longtime right-hand man, Marian Hossa, whose scoring explosion with the Russians was the only reason Quenneville waited so long to split up Toews and Kane.

“That’s probably why we waited longer here,” said Quenneville, who prefers to keep Toews and Kane apart to force opponents to pick their poison from a matchup standpoint. “[Hossa] was still scoring, and I think he can still score with Jonny. We still think there’s enough offense to go around with him on another line. We probably kept them together longer than we thought we would.”

It wasn’t all bad for Toews and Kane.

In those 13 games, Toews had four goals and six assists, while Kane had four goals and eight assists. But most of those points came early on in the experiment.

Toews entered Wednesday night’s game with no goals and two assists in his past seven games, and Kane hadn’t scored in the first four games of the circus trip.

“We’re trying to get a little more bal-

ance in our scoring,” Quenneville said.

“This trip hasn’t been very productive in generating offense or generating scoring chances, or enough sustained pressure in the offensive zone.”

Toews has been fighting frustration all season, as he opened the season with another lengthy goal drought of eight games. Even a player with 255 career regular-season goals, a guy who is the model of consistency with 28 goals in each of his past three seasons, can start squeezing the stick too tightly.

Roster report: Michal Rozsival was back in the lineup, with Michal Kempny a healthy scratch, along with Andrew Desjardins and Jordin Tootoo. Quenneville said it was more about getting Rozsival more playing time than it was about punishing Kempny. “[Rozsival] has played well when it’s come in,” Quenneville said. “With seven guys, we want to keep everyone moving around. Sometimes it’s not so much performance.”

It’ll soon be eight guys, as Quenneville said Trevor van Riemsdyk will be “close to playing” when the team returns Sunday to Chicago.

In 2004 two kittens were brought to us but they were from different litters. They were adopted together as soon as they were available in 2004. The were returned to us in 2014 when their guardian was losing his home and he had no place to move to. He said they were wonderful cats for 10 years and they were so sad to return them. Luckily they were soon adopted together after they came back to us in 2014.

Unfortunately they were just returned when their guardian passed away. Olivia is a beautiful 10 pound tuxedo with bright green eyes. She is a little reserved and quiet. Shadow has gray and cream colored long fur and she weighs only 8 pounds. She is very affectionate and used to sleep next to her guardian. They have been together their entire lives and we would like them to be adopted together. November is Adopt a Senior Pet Month so our Senior to Senior Program has been expanded this month. Any animal 5+ years old will have no adoption fee to an approved person 55+ this month. They could use a third chance.

FROM THE FIRST TREE LIGHTING TO SANTA’S LAST BOW, OUR GUIDE TO FINDING HOLIDAY MAGIC IN MCHENRY COUNTY

E

By JAMI KUNZER •

vents aim to light up communities throughout McHenry County this holiday season.

And that extends beyond just Christmas lights.

“It never gets old,” Terry Wilcockson said of Woodstock’s annual Lighting of the Square (Nov. 25) and other festivities, including a Christmas Tree Walk at the Opera House and inaugural Gingerbread House Walk at the Old Courthouse Arts Center.

A resident of Woodstock for 30 years and city employee for 22, Wilcockson said she rarely misses Christmas on the Square.

“It’s one of the most community inspiring events. You really feel a part of things. You really feel like this is a community that cares when you go to the Lighting of the Square,” she said. “Over the past few years, there’s just been this groundswell of support coming from other communities to soak up that feeling.”

It’s a feeling shared by those in communities throughout the county where annual events have

jkunzer@shawmedia.com

become proud traditions. For many, the holidays officially begin with a townwide tree lighting, a stop by Santa’s house or a Christmas parade.

“It’s a holiday destination,” Lakeside Legacy Arts Park executive director Siobhan Cottone said of the Dole Mansion, which enchants during the holidays with its decorations.

Lakeside hosts a weekend-long “Christmas at the Dole” (Dec. 2-3) with an art show, caroling, ballerinas, tree lightings both indoors and out, a jazz concert and more, followed the next day by an outdoor winter fest with ice sculptures, s’more stations, more than 20 vendors and, of course, Santa.

“Once you step through these walls and you see the lights and trees and beautiful ballerinas and hear the music, it truly is a magical experience,” Cottone said.

Moana, voiced by Auli’i Cravalho, stars in “Moana.”

SET SAIL WITH SPIRITED ‘MOANA’

By LINDSEY BAHR

The Associated Press

Stop me if this sounds familiar: A Disney animation film about a bright and spirited young woman who feels stifled by outmoded expectations and dreams of exploring beyond the confines of her home. It’s the premise of “Moana,” but it’s also that of “The Little Mermaid,” “Beauty and the Beast,” “Mulan,” “Brave” and scores of other animated films about teenage girls.

It’s not a bad one by any means, and an understandably captivating

foundation for children especially, but “Moana” is, like so many recent films, dressed up as something wholly new and bold and corrective against all the sins of fairy tales past. There’s an entire scene where Moana (Auli’i Cravalho) fights back against the demigod Maui (Dwayne Johnson) for calling her a “princess” with such fervor the ultimate effect isn’t “hooray” but more “who cares?” What is so wrong with being a princess versus being the daughter of a chief who eventually will lead the island? It’s just semantics.

It’s distracting from both the real

virtues of “Moana,” of which there are many, and also fairly dismissive of the mere “princesses” who came before who basically accomplish the same things. In fact, the only real advancement lately is the recent excising of a love interest.

But perhaps that, too, is just getting bogged down in semantics in another way and deflecting from the very wonderful and joyous “Moana,” a classic Disney pic to the core, bursting with stunning visuals, good-hearted humor, adventure and some truly catchy songs from “Hamilton” maestro Lin-Manuel Miranda.

Starring: Auli’i Cravalho, Dwayne Johnson, Rachel House. Rated: PG for peril, some scary images and brief thematic elements. Running time: 1 hour, 43 minutes

IN ‘ALLIED,’ LOVE IN THE FOG OF WAR

Deeply nostalgic moviemaking is rendered with digital precision in Robert Zemeckis’ highly manicured World War II romance “Allied.”

In “Allied,” with Brad Pitt and Marion Cotillard (right), he has resurrected the espionage thriller in all its classical glamour with a knowingness that’s both impressively grand and stiffly hollow. The crisp period images of “Allied” never feel far removed from their storyboards. “Allied,” despite its high-wattage stars,

feels a bit like an R-rated “Tintin.”

Zemeckis has lately, with “The Walk,” “Flight” and now “Allied,” been on a laudable mission to reempower the big-screen drama with well-crafted, special effects-assisted spectacles that project human-sized stories onto widescreen canvases.

“Allied,” big and sturdy, always fills the screen. But its gleaming surfaces are missing something underneath.

– The Associated Press

Starring: Brad Pitt, Marion Cotillard. Rated: R for violence, some sexuality/nudity, language and brief drug use. Running time: 2 hours, 4 minutes

THANKS FOR NOTHING, ‘BAD SANTA 2’

If the 2003 Christmas-themed comedy “Bad Santa” was, as critic Stephen Hunter put it, “demographically engineered for the smallest interest group in America: those who hate Christmas,” then its sequel appears to have been made by an even smaller demographic: those who don’t understand why people loved the original.

“Bad Santa 2” insults the intelligence and taste of the first film’s audience by including all of the biliousness and vulgarity of the first

film, but none – or precious little – of its scabrous joie de vivre.

Like Willie Soke, Billy Bob Thornton’s lecherous, larcenous, alcoholic and nearly amoral department-store Santa – now 13 years older, but no less of a lech and a lush, if seemingly a lot worse for wear – the film has the air of a once vital but now senescent reprobate. Like the Ghost of Christmas Past, it isn’t transgressive so much as creakily evocative of dimly recalled transgressions.

– The Washington Post Starring: Billy Bob Thornton, Kathy Bates. Rated: R for crude sexual content and language throughout, and some graphic nudity. Running time: 1 hour, 32 minutes

‘Gilmore Girls’ Netflix revival far from perfect, but fans won’t care

By EMILY YAHR

The Washington Post Let’s cut right to the chase, “Gilmore Girls” fans, and start with the good news: The Netflix revival of the beloved drama available Nov. 25 has everything you want. Lorelai and Rory return as the mother-daughter bestfriend duo who live in the gloriously quirky town of Stars Hollow, Connecticut. The original creator and executive producers are in charge, ensuring the highly anticipated reboot is chockfull of callbacks, inside jokes and life updates on your favorite supporting characters.

The bad news: It’s not perfect. It’s actually far from perfect. The revival has four 90-minute chapters, and it turns out that 42-minute episodes were the perfect amount of time before the famously sparkling dialogue and wacky plotlines start to drag – and characters’ flaws go from endearing to irritating.

The best news: Fans won’t care.

Because “Gilmore Girls” is back.

Although television is cluttered with nostalgia projects, nothing quite strikes a chord like “Gilmore Girls,” which ran on the WB and the CW from 2000 to 2007. Executive producers Amy Sherman-Palladino and Dan Palladino couldn’t reach a financial deal with the studio and left before the seventh and final season, which was considered a huge disappointment, bogged down by nonsensical story lines. It all adds an extra layer of excitement to the revival, because viewers finally get to see the “real” ending.

As someone who has re-watched “Gilmore Girls” more times than I care to admit, hitting “play” on the first episode was nerve-racking. The magic of “Gilmore Girls” is buried deep in

my psyche, as it is for many other fans, thanks to deeply relatable characters (Rory made it cool to be an introvert who loved to read!), sharp writing and the dream of living in a cozy town.

Would the revival meet my sky-high expectations? Or would it confirm my fears that it never could live up to the actual series?

I’ll be honest – it was a little of both.

Before viewing the episodes, Netflix required reporters to sign agreements in which we swore not to reveal any spoilers or surprises or specific plot points or twists or turns or ... any significant details whatsoever, especially about various romantic entanglements.

But here’s what I can tell you: The first episode is delightfully surreal.

As in, is this really happening? Are Lorelai (Lauren Graham) and Rory (Alexis Bledel) bantering about coffee and trading pop culture references like no time has passed? The Stars Hollow Gazette gets a shout-out? Wait, town weirdo Kirk (Sean Gunn) has a pet pig?

Actually, that seems about right.

One of the downsides of re-watching your favorite show is the flaws become magnified. All the characters have their negative traits, which are on display in the revival: Selfishness, the rash decisions that hurt others, the casual cruelty disguised as banter.

Although it’s all part of making them well-rounded, binge-watching six hours of it in a row reinforces how your much-loved characters make poor choices.

But there’s one benefit of a “Gilmore Girls” mini-movie – with extended time and producers’ creative freedom, it’s a veritable buffet of every “Gilmore” experience imaginable. And for this show in particular, that’s all the fans really care about, anyway.

How to explain why you’re ignoring family to watch ‘Gilmore Girls’ When Netflix announced the release date for the “Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life” revival would be Nov. 25, the day after Thanksgiving, one fact became clear: Many relatives will be ignored during this holiday. It’s not a stretch to say quite a few people will wake up the next morning and immediately start streaming the series, which is four 90-minute episodes.

If you need help explaining to your family why you’re barricading yourself in your room on Friday, here’s a guide: Why is the internet melting down over this revival? Don’t old TV shows come back all the time these days?

Fair point. But “Gilmore Girls” is still a pretty big deal. The show went off-air in 2007 after the seventh and final season, but the ending was a huge disappointment for fans. Creator Amy Sherman-Palladino and her husband, executive producer Dan Palladino, walked away after the sixth season when they couldn’t come to a financial agreement with the studio.

It was complicated. Anyway, the Palladinos are back in charge of the revival. This is very exciting closure for fans, because now they’ll be able to see the end of the series the way the creator originally intended.

Why are people still so excited about a show that ended almost 10 years ago?

I could write a book about why “Gilmore Girls” is so magical, but in practical terms, the show got a second life a couple of years ago when Netflix made all seven seasons available.

The enormous response showed Netflix executives they probably should capitalize on this momentum and order up a revival.

Can I watch it if I’ve never seen the show before?

The revival is almost 100 percent fan service, full of inside jokes and callbacks to the original show. But if you want to spend time with your family member who is ignoring you, go for it. You just might not understand anything – and might not want to interrupt with questions.

6 holiday-friendly home design features

(BPT) - Sponsored Ad Content by Clayton

Whether you’re shopping for a new traditional, manufactured or modular home or just attempting a renovation project, it’s important to consider the functionality of key spaces like kitchens and living rooms. These most-frequented rooms will host meals, family gatherings, movie nights, homework sessions and holiday celebrations, so they need to include features that facilitate all these uses and more.

If the layout of your current apartment or house isn’t working for you as well as you would like, it can seem even more unlivable during the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. As you consider which home elements will be the best investment for your money, the home experts at Clayton suggest keeping these features in mind: * Kitchen island - With the exception of galley kitchens, virtually every kitchen can benefit from an island.

Kitchen islands are the perfect spot for serving Christmas morning breakfast, setting out dishes for a Thanksgiving buffet, food prep for a New Year’s celebration or a staging area for an all-night wrapping party after the kids are in bed. Utilize generous under-island cabinet space to store large items like a crock pot or large serving bowls. The island also makes a great space to add additional seating if you are expecting guests. * Farmhouse sink - Also called apron sinks, farmhouse-style sinks are perfect sinks for holiday entertainers and very trendy in new homes.

Larger and deeper than standard under-mount or top-mount sinks, a farmhouse sink gives you plenty of room for washing large kitchen items. The baking sheets you used to whip up a batch of holiday cookies, the big pot where you simmered chili and even the racks from your oven will fit easily into a farmhouse sink.

What’s more, farmhouse sinks give any kitchen a comforting, homey, yet elegant look. * Sweeping technology - With all the cooking and entertaining you’ll be doing in the kitchen, crumbs and spills are inevitable. The last thing you want to do with a houseful of guests is wrestle with a full-sized vacuum cleaner or risk having a hand vac prove inadequate for your needs. Sweeping technology like a central dirt-removal vacuum system can make cleanup much quicker and easier. The central dirt-removal vacuum system unit installs at the base of a kitchen cabinet, and you simply use a broom to move debris in front of the unit. A tap of the toe turns the vacuum on, and the unit sucks the dirt inside a pull-out pan. You can open the drawer and ditch the dirt immediately, or leave it for later while you entertain guests. Central dirt-removal vacuum systems are an optional kitchen appliance in select Clayton home designs.

* Fireplace - Few home features are more appropriate for the holidays than a fireplace that will add warmth and ambiance to any celebration, no matter how large or small. Gas log fireplaces set a festive atmosphere with the flick of a switch. It’s possible to install one in virtually any style home, from site-built to manufactured, and some versions can even work on interior walls of a home.

Many homes will even feature a hand-laid stone or tile fireplace for a stylish, sophisticated look. * Pet-friendly features - Four-legged friends are part of the family - and every holiday celebration. Homebuilders now offer a variety of features to make life more pleasant for pets and easier for homeowners.

Clayton Built™ homes can be customized with a pet dish drawer that allows you to hide feeding dishes when they’re not needed. A windowseat or hideaway cubby can be the perfect escape spot for pets who feel overwhelmed by holiday activities and guests. And a built-in grooming

station in a mudroom or utility room makes it easy to primp your pet before holiday guests arrive. * Single-level construction - If you’re thinking of getting into a new home in time to celebrate the holidays, remember that a single-level design and an open floor plan will make holiday entertaining easier and more enjoyable. Having all rooms on one floor ensures guests never have to climb stairs to find a restroom or go to bed.

Plus, an open floor plan allows you to work in the kitchen and interact with guests - or keep an eye on kids - in the living room.

Choosing a manufactured home can be a smart, affordable way to get all the holiday-friendly features you want - and be in your new home before the New Year. Because a manufactured home is constructed indoors, bad weather won’t delay the construction schedule. A manufactured home can be completed and set up on-site in a matter of weeks.

I am writing this column on a transatlantic jet covering a mile approximately every six seconds. It is impossible to imagine that speed at 35,000 feet, but if we were doing it on a salt flat a la Donald Campbell, it would be a mixture of thrilling and scary.

Defense and declarer-play are like that. Sometimes speed is of the essence -- you need to be actively trying to win tricks or eliminate losers. At other times, you want to sit back and wait for winners to fall into your lap -- you play passively.

Which is relevant in today’s deal?

Look at the West hand. What would you lead against four hearts: the spade three or club queen?

North’s three-diamond rebid promised at least a decent six-card suit and seven winners. South’s three hearts was game-forcing and also indicated a six-card or longer suit.

North’s four clubs was an advance control-bid, which said that he had heart support, liked his hand for a slam and had the club ace, but did not have the spade ace (a suit he skipped over). South settled into four hearts.

North and South have the values for game; they even dabbled at a slam. West must be active, leading the spade three. East wins with his ace and returns the spade 10, the higher of two remaining cards. West overtakes with his jack and cashes the spade king. But where is trick four?

West, seeing no minor-suit winner available, must try for a trump trick.

He leads the 13th spade and hopes partner ruffs with the heart queen, which would effect an uppercut.
