Wild turkeys that vanished in 1800s return to New England

By WILSON RING

The Associated Press MONTPELIER, Vt. – Wild turkeys, once common across New England, are back after disappearing from the region in the 19th century and are now regularly spotted in rural fields, suburban neighborhoods and even the airspace above interstate highways.

The revival is considered one of the major wildlife restoration success stories, even making it into wildlife management textbooks, said Mark Scott, director of wildlife for the Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife.

The revival of the birds in Vermont grew from the release of turkeys in Rutland County during the winters of 1969-70 and 1970-71. A total of 31 were released during that time. The state now has a population estimated at 45,000 to 50,000 birds, from one end of the state to the other, Scott said.

Vermont also has helped other states in the region and beyond restore or build their populations, sending turkeys to places including Maine, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Canada and Germany.

“I think people like to see turkeys whether they hunt them or not,” said Scott, whose agency oversees Vermont’s spring and fall turkey hunting seasons.

In this circa 1970 photo provided by the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department, game warden Ross Hoyt (left) and biologist Joseph Artmann release a wild turkey in Saxtons River, Vt., at a time when they were almost gone from the Vermont countryside.

The turkey revival is not just a New England phenomenon.

Wild turkeys are now found in all U.S. states except Alaska, said Pete Muller, public relations manager for the National Wild Turkey Federation, which is trying to maintain and expand turkey habitats across the country.

“When you think about this particular time of year, Thanksgiving, most people will think of turkeys,” said Muller, who estimates the national turkey population is around 6 million.

He said it’s unclear whether turkeys were actually part of

the original Thanksgiving held by the Pilgrims in what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts.

“Whether there were actually turkeys there or not, the American wild turkey is cemented into this country’s history,” Muller said.

Now, not far from the site of that original Thanksgiving, in Foxborough, Massachusetts, turkeys are so common some have turned aggressive toward people who feed them.

In Vermont, flocks of 200 or 300 turkeys can damage farmers’ grain bunkers by eating the feed intended for cattle and fouling the rest with their droppings, Scott said.

Johnsburg, Prairie Ridge aim for state titles this weekend

oe Moore soaked in the moment last Friday while standing on Johnsburg Athletic Field with what seemed like most of the town’s population after the Skyhawks football team had upset defending Class 4A state champion Chicago Phillips.

“You come from a small community like this, and [to] have everybody rallying around you like this is incredible,” the Skyhawks senior lineman said. “That’s a dogfight out there. That doesn’t happen to everybody, and to come out on top against a team like that?

There’s no words for that.”

Johnsburg held off the Wildcats, 23-20, in overtime Nov. 18 with Adam Jayko’s 26-yard field goal and a stout defensive stand and will be the first Skyhawks team in school history to play for a

state title. Johnsburg (13-0) meets Rochester (12-1) at 7 p.m. Friday at Illinois’ Memorial Stadium for the Class 4A state championship.

Prairie Ridge also is heading to Champaign, marking the fourth time two McHenry County-area teams will play for state football championships in the same weekend. Prairie Ridge (13-0) will meet Sacred Heart-Griffin (13-0) for the Class 6A title at 1 p.m. Saturday.

Prairie Ridge beat Peoria Richwoods, 35-14, for the 2011 Class 6A state title. The day before, Richmond-Burton lost to Rochester, 4239, for the Class 4A championship.

The other years in which multiple McHenry County teams played for titles were in 1983 and 1992.

Marian Central (Class 2A) and Woodstock (Class 4A) won state championships in the same weekend in 1983. R-B won the Class 2A title in 1992, while North Boone (Class 1A) and Marengo (Class 3A)

were state runners-up.

“It’s really exciting for our community,” Skyhawks coach Dan DeBoeuf said. “Anybody who was there [last] Friday saw how invested our community is in our program right now. It was really cool to see everybody come together and be a part of a really special moment.”

Previously, Johnsburg’s furthest venture into the playoffs came in 2009, when the Skyhawks made the quarterfinals. Houston Texans tight end C.J. Fiedorowicz played on that team and sent DeBoeuf a video message he shared with the players last week.

Johnsburg was 9-2 two years ago under former coach Mike Maloney, who took the job at Marian Central. DeBoeuf’s first team was 8-3 last season and came back loaded with talent for this year.

“Our mindset is about as good

MCC cafeteria earns green certification for sustainability

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – When McHenry County College’s cafeteria is in need of lettuce and other vegetables, the cafe’s employees get the necessary greens from right down the hall.

“MCC’s Horticulture Department provides us with hydroponic lettuce, herbs and other veggies, so it doesn’t get more local or fresh than that,” said Sandra Johnston, MCC’s food service director.

And Johnston said that’s not the only sustainable initiative the college is taking.

“We’ve totally eliminated the use of all Styrofoam products and use disposables that are environmentally friendly,” Johnston said. “We also have reusable chinaware.”

In recognition of the community college’s eco-friendly efforts, MCC’s cafeteria recently earned a green

LOCAL BRIEF Metra to collect winter coats for end of November drive

CHICAGO – Metra again will be partnering with NBC 5 Chicago to hold a coat drive at all five downtown Metra stations and all BNSF stations Nov. 28 to Nov. 30.

New and gently used coats can be placed in special collection boxes at all downtown Chicago Metra stations, including Union Station, Ogilvie Transportation Center, Millennium, Van Buren Street and LaSalle Street, and at all BNSF stations.

The donated coats will be given to The Salvation Army for distribution to those in need.

This is the fourth time Metra, NBC 5 and The Salvation Army have teamed up to collect warm clothing. Last year, more than 450 coats were donated by Metra customers.

“Metra riders have always been very generous whenever we ask them to consider donating, and we expect nothing different this year,” Metra Executive Director/CEO Donald Orseno said. “I would like to thank them in advance for helping us make the holidays a little warmer for those in need.”

For an eatery to qualify for the certification, the Green Restaurant Association has standards involving water efficiency, waste reduction and sustainable food that the eateries must meet.

College food service director Johnston said this certification isn’t just a one-time thing but an ongoing improvement.

Board OKs lower tax levies for township, road district Both measures given unanimous approval

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com McHENRY – The McHenry Township Board unanimously voted at its Nov. 10 meeting to lower the McHenry Township tax levy by 10 percent and the McHenry Township Road District tax levy by 11 percent from the previous year.

The reduced tax levy budget was presented at the meeting by McHenry Township Supervisor Craig Adams.

“As a board, we have heard the voices and concerns of our constituents that property taxes are too high in McHenry County and McHenry Township,” Adams said. “We agree with the residents of McHenry Township that, indeed, property taxes are too high.”

Trustees Amy Mercurio of McHenry, Neal Schepler of McHenry, Gary Barla of unincorporated Johnsburg and Craig Wallace of Johnsburg all voted yes to reduce the township’s tax levy for the next property tax year.

Adams also voted yes on the motion, allowing it to pass unanimously.

At the same meeting, McHenry Township road commissioner James Condon presented a reduced tax levy budget for the McHenry Township Road District.

“Due to the fact that the road district has properly maintained the township roads and have kept them in excellent condition, I can reduce the McHenry Township road paving program for the next year and pass the savings onto our taxpayers,” Condon said.

The budget called for reducing the tax levy by 11 percent from the previous year and was unanimously approved by the board for the next taxing year.

Occupational therapy SPONSORED BY

As you get older, you’ll find that you don’t move as quickly as when you were younger.

That doesn’t mean that you don’t feel the need for speed, as in a speedy recovery from an injury, illness or surgery.

The truth is that no one wants to be limited and no one wants to spend more time than needed during occupational therapy. You want a speedy recovery so you can get back to enjoying your life as normally as possible. To do that, you need a partner who will create a care plan tailored specifically to you and your living situation, one that will help you get back on your feet and enjoying a comfortable and enjoyable life.

Hearthstone Communities prides itself in doing just that with exceptional occupational therapy.

847-741-5521 • www.gs-sybaquay.org

The occupational therapists at Hearthstone Communities can help you prevent falls, become less

challenged with everyday activities like getting dressed and maintaining a home, learn to use grab bars in the bathtub, overcome difficulty with vision so you adapt to your environment, lessen some of the difficulties associated with arthritis and other old-age ailments and much more.

The goal at Hearthstone Communities’ Mary and Carl Mueller Rehabilitation Center at the Manor at Hearthstone is to help you regain your highest level of independence and get you back home.

Its therapy services are provided in partnership with Alliance Rehab, which is recognized for the quality care and dedication offered by all of its therapists. Alliance Rehab’s philosophy is to place integrity above all else by achieving quality patient outcomes.

Occupational therapy shouldn’t be easy. Patients have to work hard toward recovery and the licensed occupational therapists at Hearthstone Communities create an environment that promotes comfort and dignity, yet they also motivate and push you toward recovery, which is your ultimate goal, right?

HUNTLEY – A 54-year-old Woodstock man was pronounced dead after a two-vehicle crash Wednesday night in unincorporated Huntley, the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office said.

A preliminary investigation indicates that at 6:43 p.m. Wednesday, a 1999 Ford Expedition SUV was headed northbound on Route 20 at the same time a 2007 Hino 268 box truck was headed eastbound on Harmony Road.

According to the sheriff’s office, the box truck did not stop at the intersection’s stop sign and collided with the Ford.

The driver of the Ford was transported by Huntley Fire Protection District to Advocate Sherman Hospital in Elgin where he was pronounced dead.

www.aplusdogtraining.com

The driver of the Hino, a 24-year-old man, was also transported by fire officials to Sherman Hospital for precautionary reasons where he was treated and eventually released.

According to the Sheriff’s Office, there were no passengers in either vehicle.

The intersection where the crash happened remained closed for about five hours during the investigation.

The McHenry County Division of Transportation, McHenry County Conservation District, Huntley Police Department and Hampshire Police Department were called to the scene to assist.

The cause of the crash is under investigation by the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office Major Crash Investigations Unit and the Kane County Coroner’s Office.

as it’s going to get as far as confidence,” DeBoeuf said. “That was a huge win for us Friday (over Phillips). Our kids are very excited for the opportunity, and it’s a dream come true for them. They’ll be ready to play for sure.”

Prairie Ridge was close to playing for another state title last season when it lost to Montini, 35-27, in a semifinal game. The Wolves led that game, 27-13, in the second half.

Wolves coach Chris Schremp appreciates what his team took from that stinging loss, as Montini went on to win the Class 6A state title convincingly.

“Even though we were disappoint-

ed, it was a heck of a season,” Schremp said. “We wanted to build on it, not dwell on it. The day after we turned in equipment, the weight room was filled with kids. Right from the get-go, they felt they let something slip away in that Montini game; they were going to dedicate themselves to not letting that happen again.”

Prairie Ridge was pushed in its first two games, wins over Cary-Grove and Huntley, and again last week in a 54-35 semifinal victory over DeKalb. But the Wolves’ offense, which averages 50.2 points a game, has been too much to stop.

Johnsburg could become the first state champion team from the new Kishwaukee River Conference. Prairie Ridge is looking to become the fifth football state champion from the Fox Valley Conference.

1 injured in Thanksgiving morning crash, official says

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com RICHMOND – A single-vehicle crash sent one person to the hospital with multiple internal injuries Thanksgiving morning, a fire official said.

Richmond Township Fire Protection District Lt. Don Raef said the Richmond Fire Department responded about 6:15 a.m. to the report of a crash at the intersection of Wilson Road and Route 12.

Upon arrival, fire officials found the vehicle had slid off the road and collided with a tree. Raef said fire officials had to remove the driver from the vehicle and contacted Flight for Life.

The driver was eventually airlifted to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville.

No other passengers were in the vehicle at the time of the crash.

Raef said the cause of the crash is under investigation and there were no signs that the driver had been drinking.

morning to help sort and box donated food items.

The collection took place from 8 to 10 a.m. at 6250 Route 14, next to the Hobby Lobby. All food and monetary donations collected during the event benefit the Crystal Lake Food Pantry.

“There’s such a need in our community for families who need to be fed,” volunteer Randy Leggee said. “So this is a vital part of helping stock the food pantry to feed those people for many months.”

Leggee, who has been volunteering at the Community Harvest the past six years, said he sees more people participating in the Community Harvest each year.

“It’s grown every year to the point where we have to have such a large building like this just to accommodate the hundreds of people who come out here for a couple hours,” Leggee said.

Throughout the day, families and volunteers from local businesses, scout troops, church groups and other local organizations helped sort donated food items by dropping them off into designated bins. Donated items that needed to be sorted included canned meat, canned pasta, cereal, peanut butter jars, tomato paste and other nonperishable goods.

“People in this community have a big heart and want to help,” volunteer Sarah Schrempf said. “That’s why so many came out here today.”

Last year, the Community Harvest collected about 68,000 pounds of food and $46,000 for the food pantry.

This year’s goal is to raise 85,000 pounds and $50,000.

“About 100,000 pounds of food could keep the food pantry going for the whole year,” event Chairwoman Judy Pelinski said. “And if we reach our goal, we’ll be able to provide the food pantry with enough food through August.”

“By looking at everyone who came out here, it looks like we may accomplish that goal,” Pelinski said.

Bill Pelinski, Judy’s husband, also

volunteered his efforts to help load the donated goods onto trucks.

“The bins then get shipped off to the Crystal Lake Food Pantry,” Bill said.

“So this is just a great way to start Thanksgiving Day.” Along with all the pounds of donated food, each dollar donated can buy $8 worth of food for the nonprofit, said Bill Eich, president of the Crystal Lake Food Pantry.

“I’m just so thankful for the community’s support,” Eich said. “And I just want to get the word out there that if there’s anybody who knows someone who needs our help, to please recommend they come by the food pantry, especially during the holidays.”

By SARA BURNETT The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Patrick McNamee was 17 when the car he was driving crashed in Illinois in 1954, killing his best friend. After pleading guilty to reckless homicide and serving time in jail plus probation, McNamee went on to join the U.S. Marines and Air Force, flying some 1,700 missions in Vietnam and earning more than 75 air medals.

But the conviction stayed with him.

On Wednesday, Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner granted a clemency request from the now 79-year-old, who said he applied in part because he wasn’t able to get a concealed carry firearm permit because of his felony record.

“In 11½ years in the service, I always carried a weapon. That didn’t make much sense to me,” said McNamee, who lives in Huntington Beach, California.

He said he considered asking for clemency for about 10 years before he actually did so in 2014.

“I just didn’t want to die and have that hanging over my head,” he said.

McNamee said he was a “stupid 17-year-old kid” when the crash occurred more than 60 years ago in DuPage County, Illinois.

Jason Sweat, chief legal counsel for the Illinois Prisoner Review Board, said paperwork filed with McNamee’s

Police: 8-year-old girl found dead in Southern Illinois

OLNEY – An 8-year-old missing girl was found dead in a Southern Illinois town, and authorities said the case is being investigated as a homicide.

Illinois State Police said in a statement Thursday that the girl’s body was found behind a building on the south side of Olney, a town of about 9,000 people 45 southeast of Effingham.

Authorities said the Southern Illinois Child Death Task Force is investigating, and they asked anyone with information to call Olney police.

Illinois State Police Master Sgt. Jason Bradley declined to release further details, including who reported the girl missing and when. They did not identify the girl.

the case wrote letters on McNamee’s behalf to help him get into the military, calling him “forthright and honest” and saying he would make a good pilot, Sweat said.

They also said they found no criminal intent and that McNamee cooperated with authorities. The judge added that he was “like hundreds of our DuPage County boys” who make mistakes but are good citizens.

McNamee served six years with the Marines and 5½ years with the U.S. Air Force and had a top secret intelligence clearance, according to documents submitted with the petition.

Among the honors he earned was the Distinguished Flying Cross.

After leaving the military McNamee worked almost 30 years as a commercial pilot and had no other criminal convictions, Sweat said.

Chicago Police fatally shoot man during foot chase

CHICAGO – Chicago Police said a sergeant responding to a call of a battery in progress on the city’s South Side shot and killed a 19-year-old man during a foot chase but a search had failed to uncover a weapon the sergeant told investigators the man was carrying.

Police said the shooting happened late Wednesday night. They said when the sergeant arrived at the scene in the West Englewood neighborhood he spotted a man matching the description of the battery suspect and that the man ran away when the sergeant announced who he was.

Police said the sergeant said he fired village’s code of ethics and could result when the man pointed a gun at him, but in employees being fired and elected on Thursday afternoon, Police Superinten- officials censured by the city council. dent Eddie Johnson said, a weapon hadn’t Hunters get more than 54K been recovered.

DES PLAINES – A Chicago suburb will spend as much as $30,000 on a private investigator to find out who leaked confidential documents to a local newspaper.

The Daily Herald reported that the city council in Des Plaines voted unanimously this week to hire Chicago-based investigative firm Hillard Heintze to conduct the probe.

The paper said that in June an elected official and city staff member gave the newspaper all or parts of a report prepared by the city’s attorneys. The documents detailed all ongoing litigation involving the city and were marked “confidential – attorney privilege.”

The Department of Natural Resources said that’s about 3,000 fewer deer than what was harvested in the first firearm weekend last year.

The state’s seven-day firearm deer season concludes Dec. 1 through 4.

Muzzleloader-only deer season follows, running Dec. 9 through 11.

Archery deer season runs through Jan. 15 with the exception of Dec. 1 through 4 in counties that are open for Firearm Deer Season. A new rule allows hunters with a valid Illinois firearm deer permit to use archery equipment during firearm season on private land only.

Trump’s team to raise millions for inauguration festivities

By STEVE PEOPLES The Associated Press

PALM BEACH, Fla. – The scramble to shape his administration underway, President-elect Donald Trump’s team has simultaneously begun turning its attention to raising tens of millions of dollars for festivities related to his Washington inauguration.

Trump, who vowed during the campaign to “drain the swamp” of special interests corrupting Washington, has set $1 million donation limits for corporations and no limits for individual donors, according to an official on the Presidential Inaugural Committee with direct knowledge of tentative fundraising plans.

At the same time, Trump’s inaugural committee will not accept money from registered lobbyists, in line with his ban on hiring lobbyists for his nascent administration.

Barack Obama set stricter limits on donations for his first inauguration, in 2009, holding individual donors to $50,000 each and taking no money from corporations or labor unions, as well as none from lobbyists and some other groups. Plenty of corporate executives, though, gave individually and often at the maximum amount. And he opened the spigots for his 2013 inauguration, setting no limits on corporate or individual donations.

The new details, confirmed Thursday on the condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to disclose private deliberations, came as Trump gathered with family at his Palm Beach estate Mar-a-Lago on Thanksgiving.

It was a working holiday of sorts for Trump, who suggested on Twitter that he was engaged in trying to prevent an Indiana air conditioning company from moving jobs to Mexico.

“I am working hard, even on Thanksgiving, trying to get Carrier A.C. Company to stay in the U.S.,” Trump tweeted.

AP photo

President-elect Donald Trump and Betsy DeVos pose for photographs Saturday at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster clubhouse in Bedminster, N.J. Trump has chosen charter school advocate DeVos as Education Secretary in his administration.

“MAKING PROGRESS – Will know soon!”

The company, which has announced plans to move 1,400 jobs to Mexico from Indiana in the coming years, confirmed Thursday it “has had discussions with the incoming administration,” but said there was “nothing to announce at this time.”

On the eve of the national holiday, the president-elect offered a prayer for unity after “a long and bruising” campaign season.

“Emotions are raw and tensions just don’t heal overnight,” Trump said in a video message on social media. 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.”

Unity has emerged as a common theme during Trump’s limited public appearances in the days since his stunning general election victory, which followed a campaign season in which he rained extraordinary personal attacks on his opponents in both parties, the media and his many Republican critics.

Unity also would be a theme for the incoming president’s Jan. 20 inauguration, the official said.

While Trump’s fundraising

plans have not been completed, he is expected to raise significantly more than the $43 million Obama raised for his 2013 inauguration. Taxpayers cover the cost of official activities such as the swearing-in, but outside donations pay for the many related balls and parties.

Trump has focused most of his attention in the two weeks since his victory on building a White House team from scratch.

He injected the first signs of diversity into his Cabinet-to-be on Wednesday, tapping 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.

They are the first women selected for top-level administration posts. And Haley, the daughter of Indian immigrants, would be his first minority selection after a string of announcements of white men.

Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson on Wednesday said “an announcement is forthcoming” on his position, 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.

administrations for 44 years, says Trump’s focus on retired generals might be unprecedented.

The only one announced for a top job thus far is Michael Flynn, a retired three-star Army general. Trump appointed Flynn as his national security adviser, a post that does not require Senate confirmation but is central to a president’s decision-making process.

Flynn was forced out as Defense Intelligence Agency director in 2014. Afterward, he strongly criticized the Obama administration’s approach to fighting the Islamic State group and threw his

support to Trump.

Among others under consideration are two retired four-star Marine generals – James Mattis for defense secretary and John Kelly for homeland security secretary. Other names surfacing include retired Army Gen. Jack Keane and David Petraeus, the retired fourstar general who was Obama’s CIA director in 2011-12 before resigning amid disclosure that he had an affair with his biographer and shared highly classified information with her.

In remarks to The New York Times on Tuesday, Trump spoke about the

WASHINGTON – The military parade for Donald Trump has come early.

Two months before Inauguration Day festivities, an extraordinary number of recently retired generals, including some who clashed with President Barack Obama’s administration, are marching to the president-elect’s doorstep for job interviews.

It’s not unusual for an incoming administration to consider a retired general for a top position like CIA director. But Trump has turned to retired officers so publicly and in such large numbers that it raises questions about the proper balance of military and civilian advice in a White House led by a commander in chief with no defense or foreign policy experience.

The tilt toward military officials may reflect a limited pool of civilian options. Many officials from previous Republican administrations politically disowned Trump during the campaign, calling him unqualified. And Trump suggested he wouldn’t want many of them, as he vowed to “drain the swamp” by running establishment figures out of town.

Robert Goldich, a retired government defense analyst who has watched

Pentagon post in ways that offer insight into why he is attracted to former generals like Mattis.

“I think it’s time maybe, it’s time for a general,” Trump said, suggesting he favors a military mindset. “Look what’s going on. We don’t win, we can’t beat anybody.”

Kelly retired this year after a storied career capped by commanding the U.S. Southern Command, where he differed with the White House over closing the Guantanamo Bay prison and expressed doubts about the administration’s moves to open all combat jobs to women.

Bing West, a Vietnam War veteran and former assistant secretary of defense, said Trump’s outreach to retired generals is wise.

“Our country is fighting a long war.

It’s common sense to seek the experience of those who have proven they know how to fight,” he said in an email exchange.

The concern about undue military influence derives from a long U.S. tradition of civilian control of the military, which is the basis for a ban on active-duty officers running the Pentagon. The Constitution affirms civilian control by making the president the commander in chief and giving Congress the authority to declare war and fund the military.

Death toll in construction accident in China hits 74

By GERRY SHIH

The Associated Press BEIJING – The death toll from the collapse of scaffolding at a construction site in eastern China rose to 74, state media said Friday, in the country’s worst work-safety accident in more than two years.

Two others were injured after the work platform at a power plant cooling tower that was under construction collapsed Thursday, sending iron pipes, steel bars and wooden planks tumbling down on the workers, the official Xinhua news agency reported.

The cooling tower was being built in the city of Fengcheng in Jiangxi province when the scaffolding tumbled down, an official with the local Work Safety Administration who would only give his surname, Yuan, said by telephone.

About 500 rescue workers, including paramilitary police officers, dug through the debris with their hands, according to state broadcaster CCTV. It showed debris strewn across the floor of the cavernous, 545-foot-high concrete cooling tower, in the middle of which

stood an unfinished structure.

Chinese President Xi Jinping urged local governments to learn from the accident and hold those responsible accountable. He said that in the wake of recent work accidents, the State Council, China’s Cabinet, should carry out thorough inspections of work sites to reduce risks.

China has suffered several major work-safety accidents in recent years blamed on weak regulatory oversight, systemic corruption and pressure to boost production amid a slowing economy.

The scaffolding accident happened the same day that Yang Dongliang, a former head of the State Administration of Work Safety, stood trial in a Beijing court for allegedly accepting $4.3 million in bribes between 2002 and last year, as he rose through the ranks as an official in Tianjin before joining the regulatory agency.

Yang was sacked in August 2015 in connection with a massive explosion at an illegal chemical warehouse in the northern port of Tianjin that killed 173 people, most of them firefighters and police officers.

NORTHWEST HERALD EDITORIAL BOARD:

OUR VIEW

Shop local, support local businesses It’s the Friday after Thanksgiving.

You’re still suffering from a turkey, football and family hangover.

You might be suffering from a Black Friday hangover that actually started late Thursday. If so, you braved long lines and crowded stores to save a little money on a handful of gifts.

But you still have quite a bit of shopping to do before Christmas.

Now’s the time to take a breath, relax for a few minutes – a few hours? – and recover from the holiday buzz that has been the past 24 hours. You have the rest of the day to rest and figure out your shopping game plan moving forward.

What’s next in helping you scratch out the rest of the items on your shopping list?

Small Business Saturday, of course.

After you’ve hit the Black Friday sales at bigger retailers and before you start preparing for online deals on Cyber Monday, we encourage you to shop at locally owned and managed businesses in our community during Small Business Saturday.

Small Business Saturday was started in November 2010 by American Express, when the company encouraged people to support small, local businesses. It was a great idea then, it remains a great idea today, and it has taken off since.

Last year, more than $16.2 billion were spent at small, independent businesses on Small Business Saturday.

There are numerous advantages to buying local: You’re purchasing from neighbors, who in turn reinvest that money into the community. For every $100 spent at a local, independent store, it generates $45 of secondary local spending. That’s compared to $14 for a big-box chain, according to the American Independent Business Alliance.

It also means more sales tax dollars are funneled into local municipal coffers, helping to pay for local services.

And local business owners and operators are part of the community so tend to give back to the community more.

Shopping local, during Small Business Saturday and throughout the year, is a smart investment.

Support local businesses this holiday season by shopping local.

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Opioid crisis remains a priority With the publication last week of a comprehensive 428-page report on drug and alcohol misuse, Surgeon General Vivek Murthy has added his voice to those calling for a more vigorous, better-informed approach to addiction in the United States. Dr. Murthy emphasizes the need for a publichealth-based approach to the problem, one that offers sufferers less moralizing and more medically based treatment options; fortunately, that seems already to be the emerging consensus, one of the few things Republicans and Democrats agree on. Backed by the authority of Murthy’s office, the document is likely to become a standard reference; a 1964 report on smoking and health by an earlier surgeon general, Dr. Luther Terry, became a cultural milestone.

As the report makes clear, the growth in the United States’ drug problem comes from opioids, fed both by misuse and diversion of legal, prescribed drugs and

by heroin. In fact, the report’s statistics on alcohol, cocaine and hallucinogen consumption show no significant change between 2002 and 2014. Meanwhile, deaths from prescription-opioid and heroin overdoses have surged. The report also documents a measurable recent uptick in marijuana use, probably linked to its recent legalization in several states.

The surgeon general identifies several non-trivial public health risks of rising marijuana usage; advocates of legalization may find themselves challenged to explain, better than they have so far, how those risks can be mitigated.

But the opioid crisis is the greater danger by far. President-elect Donald Trump lamented it time and again as he toured the Rust Belt and Appalachian regions, where the ravages of these drugs are particularly severe. In a speech on the subject last month, he demagogically linked drug addiction to the “sanctuary cities” movement, claiming participating

towns “refuse to turn over illegal immigrant drug traffickers for deportation.” Much of what he proposed, however, was at least plausible, indeed mainstream, including alternatives to jail for users and greater access to treatment. He advocated tighter regulation of prescription opioid production in the United States, as well as less regulation of medications designed to treat addiction.

He called for a crackdown on shipments of synthetic opioids through the U.S. postal system from China.

Keeping his promise to repeal Obamacare, however, would mean nullifying a law that dramatically expanded access to drug and alcohol treatment, and provided funding, through Medicaid, for low-income people. This potential contradiction is just one of many reasons to be concerned about the GOP’s plans for health care in the Trump years.

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

PARENTING

Toys that teach

Parents reaching for educational, hands-on toys for holidays

By BREE FOWLER

The Associated Press NEW YORK – Toys that teach aren’t a new thing, but a growing number are calling for kids to build with blocks, circuits or everyday items before reaching for a tablet screen.

Play is how kids learn about the world around them, whether it’s a toddler throwing a ball or teens playing video games. It’s about seeing how things work and what happens when they do something. And over the years, toys have gotten more high tech to keep screen-obsessed children engaged with such play.

But there’s growing worry among parents and educators that toys are moving too far in that direction.

Educational toys that have a math and science bent – marketed under the umbrella of STEM – now are trying to get back to the basics: less screen time, more hands-on activities.

“When kids use their hands, your outcomes are much higher,” said Pramod Sharma, CEO of one such toy company, Osmo. “It’s very different than if they’re just staring at a screen watching TV.” With Osmo, kids learn everything from spelling to coding not by touching a screen, but by snapping together magnetic blocks. A screen still is part of it; an image is beamed onto an iPad through its camera. But the idea is to have kids

learn first with their hands, then see their creation move to the screen.

This photo provided by Osmo shows an Osmo Creative Set.

Learn by building

Educators agree whether you’re talking about a toddler playing with blocks or a teen building a computer from scratch, the act of putting something together helps educational concepts sink in.

“The way the world comes to us is actually through tactile activities, so tactile toys where we build stuff are incredibly helpful,” said Karen Sobel-Lojeski, who studies the effects of technology on children’s brain development at Stony Brook University on Long Island, New York.

Bloxels tries to bridge the physical and the digital. Kids build their own video games by putting plastic blocks in a special tray, instead of writing out code. Using a phone or tablet’s camera, an app transforms the shapes created with the blocks into digital characters and scenery.

Good, but popular?

Sobel-Lojeski said toys are most educational when kids can learn how things work by building. But Juli Lennett, a toy industry analyst at NPD, said such toys are rarely on kids’ wish lists.

AP photos

On the other hand, tech toys that have subtle educational value, but aren’t specifically marketed as such, can be strong sellers. Lennett cites Fisher-Price’s Think & Learn Code-aPillar, which introduces basic coding concepts by letting preschoolers assemble segments that each tell the caterpillar to do something different, such as “turn left” or “play sound.”

“I’m not sure that kids are asking for it, or that their parents just want their kids to go to Harvard, but it’s definitely one of the top-selling toys this holiday,” Lennett said.

Tracy Achinger, a former automotive engineer in Shelby Township, Michigan, said her 8-year-old son got interested in coding after starting computer programming classes this year. So for Christmas, she’s buying him an Ozobot, a golf ballsized robot that kids can program by drawing different colored lines or using a kid-friendly, block-based programing language.

Tech has its limits

This photo provided by Mattel shows Fisher-Price’s Think & Learn Code-a-Pillar, which introduces basic coding concepts to preschoolers.

Achinger’s 3-year-old son will be getting an iPad this year. She said she isn’t against screen time, but believes parents need to keep an eye on what their kids are watching and playing. She said her older son has been playing creative games such as “Minecraft” for a few years.

“We try to keep it educational,” Achinger said. “I really think those kinds of games get their imaginations going as they create their own worlds.”

The American Academy of Pediat-

rics recently revised its guidelines to shift the emphasis away from banning screen time and toward balancing high-quality content with non-screen activities.

That doesn’t mean every toy with a screen is educational. Barbie has her own smart home in the form of the voice-activated and Wi-Fi-connected Hello Dreamhouse. And new versions of Elmo, Furby and the Cabbage Patch Kids have apps, which Lennett said often are more about branding than learning.

Sobel-Lojeski said slapping an app on a previously low-tech toy can backfire. Instead of letting the child imagine how a particular toy would talk or behave, the app fills in those holes.

“It cuts the child off from play that is much more important for development,” she said.

Some of the drive for tech in toys comes from parents who believe the younger their kids are exposed to technology, the more prepared they will be for a lucrative career someday.

But Sobel-Lojeski said Albert Einstein came up with breakthroughs without ever touching a computer, let alone tech toys at a young age.

“We can easily be tricked into thinking that all this stuff is going to make our kids more intelligent or better scientists, and that’s just not true,” she said.

Resist the screen

Companies that make computers for kids also see the value in a construction element.

Kano shows kids how to build their own computers in a kid-friendly storybook format.

Kano co-founder Alex Klein said he had to resist suggestions to just put Kano into app form and skip the computer construction altogether. He said the act of building a computer was key because it “created a huge sense of energy and momentum for what followed on screen.”

But Klein said screens aren’t going away anytime soon.

“You can’t compete with screens with kids,” he said. “So, for us it’s not about trying to push against what this next generation thinks is good or likes. It’s about providing a new angle on it that’s more creative.”

trude on her present predicament. By the end of the film, as Max Richter’s strings filled the theater for a second time, I had been reduced to a blubbering mess.

Needless to say, this wasn’t the initial instance of emotions intruding into my cinematic safe spaces.

My second viewing of “Interstellar” marked the first time I had a funny filial feeling surface. I stress “second,” since I learned of my impending fatherhood between my first two viewings of Christopher Nolan’s 2014 sci-fi flick. The first time through “Interstellar,” I had been impressed but not blown away. The second time around, though, all I could think was “Wait, the little girl is right – why aren’t you staying, Coop?” And it may or may not have gotten a little dusty in the theater when Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) broke down in tears while watching the video messages from his son.

Indeed, fatherhood has radically altered the way I see Nolan’s recent run of non-Batman films. “Interstellar,” “Inception” and “The Prestige” are all, essentially, films about fathers trying to reconnect with their daughters. I know it is in critical fashion to write off Nolan as an intellectually

cold filmmaker – a brilliant puzzle master more worried about structure than sensation – but this does a real disservice to the genuine feelings of love and loss that form the beating heart of his work.

“The Prestige” is a film about the sacrifices that are made for art, about the dangers of deforming one’s personal life for professional greatness. It’s a puzzle box, sure, but it’s one that rewards solving with a dazzling daughter’s smile, a happy little girl running into her thought-dead father’s arms.

And you’re free to dismiss Cobb’s (Leonardo DiCaprio) children in “Inception” as little more than a Macguffin, but you’d be wrong. “Inception” is actually a Greek tragedy, one about a man who tampers with primal forces of human nature, his hubris (temporarily, at least) costing him everything he loves.

It’s not as though a film had never affected me before the birth of my daughter, of course: Throw on “Field of Dreams” and it’s Niagara Falls by the time Ray (Kevin Costner) asks his dad if he wants to have a catch.

But my triggers have been rejiggered. And I’m reminded yet again just how personal one’s relationship to art is.

The setting of the scene remains vivid in my mind: vodka martinis and cigars on the balcony of Morton’s in the District of Columbia. I recently had gotten engaged and was chatting with a friend of a friend; he congratulated me on the news, warning me everything was about to change. Don’t worry about that too much, he said, as it would all change again when you had kids.

“I can’t watch movies anymore,” he confessed.

“Oh?” I asked, confused.

“There’s always a little kid getting killed – some [expletive deleted] writer with no kids using a dead one as a plot point. I hate it. I can’t watch things like that anymore. Makes me too angry.”

I nodded politely and filed away the conversation, sure I would be impervious to such sentiments. I’m a professional, first off, and, after all, I had a dog, and there’s nothing Hollywood loves to do more than sacrifice a pooch for some easy pathos. Surely it’d be the same.

Needless to say, it wasn’t. I received the most recent reminder of my

new reality after a preview screening of “Arrival,” which has been sold to audiences as a cerebral sci-fi thriller, one with hints of international intrigue and a bit of action.

Now, “Arrival” – spoilers ahead – is all of those things. But it’s so much more than that, a fact we glean in the film’s opening minutes when we watch what amounts to a short story showing us Louise Banks’ (Amy Adams) relationship with her daughter – a relationship that is, unfortunately, altogether too brief. From baby to toddler to teen, the girl grows up before our eyes. However, that’s as far as she’ll grow, as the girl contracts, and dies from, a rare form of cancer. We see Banks bawling into the sheets of her little girl, yelling, her world torn asunder.

And then the titular event happens and the story moves on. Banks seems lonely but hardworking and excited to answer the call when the U.S. military shows up looking for help from a linguist to try to decode the aliens’ language. But we cannot grasp the enormity of what their appearance means for Banks – and for humanity in general – without experiencing the emotionally harrowing way in which Banks’ memories of her daughter in-

Colonoscopy best way to detect colon cancer

SUDOKU

One large study of nearly 10,000 people found the new test to be very effective.

People in the study were given a fecal occult blood test, the Cologuard test and a colonoscopy. Cologuard detected 92 percent of the cancers colonoscopy found; the fecal occult test detected 74 percent.

Cologuard also found 69 percent of the polyps that were considered most likely to turn into cancer. The fecal occult test found 46 percent.

On the down side, the Cologuard test produced more false positives than the fecal occult test. A false positive test says there is a polyp or cancer when none actually exists – and that requires further investigation with a colonoscopy to confirm or rule out the diagnosis.

The new Cologuard was approved for screening in people ages 50 to 85 who have an average risk of colon cancer. It is not meant as a substitute for colonoscopy if you have a greater-than-average risk. This includes people with: • A history of polyps or prior colorectal cancer; • A strong family history of colorectal cancer; • Ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease.

Cologuard offers another option for colorectal cancer screening. But right now, colonoscopy still remains the best screening method. It is recommended once every 10 years for people age 50 and older who have an average risk of colorectal cancer.

test that detects colon cancer. Is it a good alternative to colonoscopy?

Dear Reader: The new test appears to be an advance, but I don’t think it’s as good as colonoscopy. Particularly for people who are at higher risk for colon cancer, I regard colonoscopy as the best test.

Colon (or colorectal) cancer lies in the wall of the colon. It can cause painless bleeding. The amount of blood can be so small (“occult blood”) it isn’t visible in the bowel movement, but it can be detected by chemical tests. Performing these tests for blood in the bowel movement – fecal occult blood tests – has been a traditional way of trying to catch colon cancer early.

However, colonoscopy remains the best way for catching colorectal cancer early. This test, done under sedation, uses an instrument to look inside the colon. A similar procedure, flexible sigmoidoscopy, looks at about half of the colon and doesn’t require sedation. These tests not only can see cancer, but also abnormalities (adenomas) that can become cancerous in the future. The tests also allow the adenomas and some very early cancers to be removed during the test.

In August 2014, the FDA approved Cologuard, a new test for colorectal cancer.

The Cologuard test is done at home. You collect a stool sample and mail it to a laboratory for analysis. Like the fecal occult test, it checks for blood in stool. But the new test also looks for abnormal DNA. Colon cancers develop because genes in the cells lining the colon have developed mutations. The abnormal DNA caused by these mutations, like occult blood, is shed in the bowel movement. That abnormal DNA now can be detected by special tests.

DEAR ABBY I’m engaged to a wonderful man Jeanne I have been with Phillips for five years.

We plan to get married as soon as his house sells and we can move into another home as a family. He has three children; I have four.

My concern is, he and his ex-wife haven’t immunized their kids. All four of my children are up to date with their shots. With the kids living together under the same roof, is there anything I should worry about as far as kids getting sick?

– Wants The Facts In Indiana Dear Wants The Facts: Have you discussed this with their doctors? If you go online and visit www.vaccines.gov, you will find a complete explanation of why vaccinations are so important.

According to the Food and Drug Administration: “For reasons related to the individual, not all vaccinated persons develop immunity.

Most routine childhood vaccines are effective for 85 to 95 percent of recipients.” If your children happen to fall into the unfortunate 5 to 15 percent category of recipients who haven’t developed full immunity, then you should be concerned.

Dear Abby: My mother-in-law is a wonderful lady, but I’m having a hard time with how she is around my children. She is extremely obsessive over giving them baths, changing their diapers and, basically, just seeing them naked.

I have talked with my husband about it because I don’t think it’s appropriate. I want to discuss this with her, but he thinks it’s no big deal because this is “just the way she is.” Am I overreacting? – Just The Way She Is Dear Just: I don’t know your mother-in-law, so I can’t judge her motivations. She was a mother before she became a grandmother, and it might be perfectly innocent. However, if something is going on that makes you uneasy, you must remember, as your children’s mother, you have a responsibility to put a stop to anything you do not feel is appropriate.

Dear Abby: My husband has a brother, “Tom,” who is 10 years younger. He recently returned from college and is living with my in-laws. Tom has visited us a few times since his arrival.

When he comes over, he doesn’t bother to ring the doorbell or knock; he simply lets himself in.

I don’t appreciate the lack of privacy in my own home. People should at least knock or yell hello from the doorway before barging in. When I told my husband it bothered me, he got upset and defensive and accused me of “picking on” his family. Am I making too much of this? –

Letitia Landon, a 19th-century English poet and novelist, wrote, “How disappointment tracks the steps of hope!”

All bridge players have had to suffer disappointing results. But in some cases, the loss was self-inflicted, declarer being unduly optimistic and running into an unfavorable distribution of the cards, one that would not have been fatal to the contract if he had played more carefully.

In today’s deal, South is in five clubs. What should he do after West leads the heart queen, taken by dummy’s king? As a secondary issue, how would three no-trump have fared?

An inexperienced player would have bid three no-trump with that North hand and been very disappointed when West knew enough to duck the first round of clubs and restrict declarer to a pair of club tricks.

If South has seven winners, as his pre-empt at unfavorable vulnerability suggests, North has the four tricks that justify leaping to five clubs.

Declarer should see that he has three potential losers in his hand: one spade, one heart and one club.

He has only 10 top tricks: two hearts, two diamonds and six clubs.

An optimist would run the club nine at trick two. However, if West is in midseason form, he will take the trick and return a trump to kill the contract.

South must ruff his heart loser on the board. He should cash the heart ace, then exit with a spade to open up a communication line to his hand.

East does best to take the trick and shift to his trump, but declarer wins with his ace, trumps his last heart, ruffs a spade in hand and sets about drawing trumps.

CLASS 4A STATE FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP: JOHNSBURG VS. ROCHESTER, FRIDAY AT U. OF ILLINOIS

With state championship in sight, Johnsburg prepares for Rochester

By SEAN HAMMOND

shammond@shawmedia.com It doesn’t get any easier.

The Skyhawks gave it all they had in last week’s 23-20 overtime win over the defending Class 4A champion, Chicago Phillips. Now the only thing standing between them and a title is the team that won the previous five 4A championships before Phillips.

Nope, not any easier.

But the Skyhawks weren’t expecting things to become easier. Not as they sit on the cusp of their first-ever state championship.

They once again have to defeat

an established program, Rochester, which won state titles from 2010 to 2014. Johnsburg never considered itself an underdog against Phillips, and it won’t consider itself an underdog this week.

“Last week, yeah, it was an emotional win for us,” quarterback Riley Buchanan said. “But at the beginning of the season, we never said, ‘Let’s make it to state.’ It was all about winning it.”

Rochester features a pass-heavy attack that relies on a rotating pair of quarterbacks. Junior Nic Baker plays 60 percent to 70 percent of the snaps, according to Rochester coach Derek Leonard. Senior Josh Grant

plays the rest. The two have combined for 49 touchdown passes and more than 3,500 passing yards.

“A lot of times when you use two, you don’t have one,” Leonard said.

“That’s not the case at all.”

At receiver, brothers Avante’ Cox and D’Ante’ Cox are speedy options and 6-foot-6 Collin Stallworth provides a larger target.

“They’re a high-powered offense,” said Buchanan, also an outside linebacker. “We know that we’ll have to slow them down, but I think we’ve got the defense to do it.”

Johnsburg second-year coach Dan DeBoeuf once listened to Leonard give a talk at a coaching conference.

“I have a lot of respect for not only what he does with his offense, but how he treats his players and runs his program,” DeBoeuf said. “When you’re playing a team like that, you know you have to prepare for everything.”

DeBoeuf referenced second-round opponent Manteno as the closest comparison to Rochester. Manteno quarterback Gavin Zimbelman threw for five touchdown passes and 319 yards in a 49-35 Johnsburg victory.

“We learned some things about ourselves to make some adjustments and move forward,” DeBoeuf said.

What to watch Blackhawks at Anaheim, 3 p.m., CSN

PRAIRIE RIDGE FOOTBALL

‘The future plays here’

Current PR players watched 2011 state championship game

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com The IHSA’s sign on the wall of Illinois’ Memorial Stadium now seems prophetic.

A group of fifth- and sixth-grade boys in the Junior Wolves’ youth football program celebrating Prairie Ridge’s Class 6A football state championship, shortly after 4:15 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 26, 2011.

The sign read: “The future plays here.”

The young boys were reveling in the accomplishment of their heroes – players such as Jordan Getzelman, Brad Simms, Collin Corcoran, Connor Greenwald and Nick Nissen – after the Wolves’ 35-14 victory over Peoria Richwoods.

They posed and held up their index fingers while the photographer took the picture from the field. The memories were indelible, the young players were determined to some day play there themselves.

That day is Saturday. Those youngsters are now the 13-0 varsity Wolves and will face Sacred Heart-Griffin (13-0) for the 6A state title at 1 p.m. Now, it’s the members of the 2011 team watching them.

Junior lineman Jeff Jenkins was a fifth-grader that day in 2011 and close to offensive linemen Shane Evans and Bennett Tomlin, who both were sophomores and had helped coach Jenkins’ Junior Wolves team.

“I remember them introducing the starters and how cool it’d be to play on

that field one day,” Jenkins said. “That game was so exciting, such a fun game to watch and the atmosphere was extremely cool. Even those guys now, Shane and Bennett, are two that I talk to and they tell me their experiences and how awesome it is.”

Prairie Ridge was tied with Richwoods, 7-7, at halftime. The Knights’ leading rusher was Kendrick Foster, who now plays running back at Illinois.

The Wolves scored first in the third quarter on Getzelman’s 13-yard touchdown run. Shortly after that came a play several of the current players remember well, as defensive end Erik Odden recovered a fumble and returned it 15 yards for a touchdown. After the game, Odden could not stop grinning, never expecting he would be invited to the postgame news conference.

Richwoods cut the lead to 21-14, but Prairie Ridge answered with two fourth-quarter touchdowns to ease any tension left among Wolves’ fans.

“As little kids watching that game, it gave us a goal, in our mind, because we knew just being there was an awesome feeling,” said quarterback Samson Evans, the brother of Shane. “We knew one day that’s something we wanted to work toward. It’s something we’ve always talked about.”

Cary-Grove has been to the playoffs quarterfinals 10 times in the last 13 seasons. Trojans coach Brad Seaburg and players, both former and current, say C-G’s first trip to a state final in 2004 changed the program.

Prairie Ridge coach Chris Schremp believes 2011 did the same for the Wolves.

“That state championship got us recognized throughout the state, that put us on the statewide map,” Schremp said.

“That’s a neat picture with a lot of our current players in the states. Once you do it, that’s half the battle believing that you can.”

The success the current players achieved as Junior Wolves, which included Super Bowl titles in their league, helped them realize they, too, could reach high levels.

“Since we’ve been playing, we’ve always had a good team,” running back Cole Brown said. “A state title’s always something we’ve worked towards, it’s something that’s the ultimate team goal.

This is what I’ve been dreaming of my entire life, there’s nothing I want to do more than go out and win it for us.”

Wolves junior guard Justin Grapenthin was in Champaign five years ago, but can hardly believe it was that long ago. Grapenthin and his teammates are now the heroes to a pack of other Junior Wolves who will be there Saturday wearing their maroon and white jerseys and dreaming about where the future plays.

“I work with little kids, I love being around little kids,” Grapenthin said.

“Sometimes I’ll go watch Junior Wolves’ practices and games. It’s really fun. I was that kid one day and actually might influence someone else. It’s nice to think someone might look up to you.”

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! Especially to our veterans that have served and are currently serving right now. Thank you for our freedom! – @BBulaga (Green Bay Packers offensive tackle Bryan Bulaga)

4 ‘For the last 4 years, we seniors have dreamed of getting to this point’ Football players from Johnsburg However, as great as this week is, and Prairie Ridge have been asked it’s also bittersweet. In the playoffs, the to share some thoughts on their sea- coaches have talked about buying ourson as they head into the biggest selves another week of football through game of their careers, playing for a hard work and victory. state championship this weekend. ToNow we have bought day’s journal is from Prairie Ridge ourselves every possible week of football, but defensive lineman Peter Dunican.

For the past four years, we seniors have dreamed of getting to this point.

The state football championship is the ultimate goal for any high school athlete, and we have worked extremely hard to get to here. Countless hours of drills, scrimmages, and film sessions have put us into this position for success, and as a team, we want nothing more than to take advantage of this opportunity.

Peter Dunican

after this week there are no more weeks to buy.

So that is why this week at practice every player, especially seniors, have given their all to each and

every drill.

When we find ourselves tired or questioning why we are here, in the cold and rain, all it takes is a look at the guy next to you to realize just why we have

come out every single day since June to compete on the practice field. With so few days left for football, every second counts, every moment counts, because it could be our last.

This week, all I have heard is that this is our last this, this is our last that. And hearing that drives me to work harder and fight harder, because I don’t want my last week to be one with any regrets.

It goes without saying that each and every senior on this team wants that as well. Not only the seniors, but every single player on the team has taken on this mentality and it has driven our success in the playoffs.

For us seniors, the idea that this is our last ever high school football game scares each and every one of us to the

point that we are ready to fight until the very end to keep our dream alive.

After Saturday, there will be no more football for most of the seniors. A few us will go on to play football in college, but most will not. After Saturday, there will be no more Monday practices, Friday night dinners or team movie nights.

This means that Saturday is the single most important game that we will ever play, not only because it is the Class 6A state championship, but because it is our last game. Prairie Ridge High School and Prairie Ridge football have changed the seniors’ lives forever and for the better. For that, we are extremely grateful.

Now on this last Saturday of November, it’s our turn to repay Prairie Ridge and play our hearts out.

Bulls forward Doug McDermott drives to the basket Nov. 5 in Indianapolis. down just 2.8 rebounds.

Year 3 in the NBA is supposed to be the telltale season. The time when an organization either deems you a future asset or baggage. Mirotic knows this, but it’s time for the Euro star to start changing the narrative with some consistency.

2. Doug McDermott: Concussion issues have cost the third-year player seven games so far this season, with Hoiberg already ruling him out of the game with the 76ers. He’s already shown this season that he can be a spark off the bench, so that’s not the concern.

Two concussions in the first three weeks of the season leading to memory loss and headaches? That’s what has to be watched closely. A healthy McDermott keeps the bench less exposed.

3. Rajon Rondo: The veteran’s numbers haven’t dipped much when comparing wins and losses, but for Rondo it’s about staying engaged. Not only does he have to keep the pace going from game to game, but Hoiberg wants full-court pressure on the opposing point guard.

Rondo’s best showing of the season actually came in the loss to the Clippers. Not because of the nine points, 10 rebounds and eight assists, but the way he harassed Chris Paul on the defensive end. If he can keep that up, well, there will be playoff plans in April this time around.

The sample size is small.

No one is crowning the Bulls a playoff team only 15 games into the season.

Not after they started off so well last year, before completely unraveling by the time April rolled around.

There’s no doubt, however, that this has a different feel to it.

It’s a group that likes each other, handles adversity, and more importantly as was on display throughout most of the first month of the season, can play opposing teams any style of basketball they choose, and in most cases play it well.

If the Bulls can get past Philadelphia tonight, they would conclude the annual Circus Trip with a 4-2 record.

Considering veteran Dwyane Wade set the bar at 3-3, and the recent history for this team has seen more stumbles on the West Coast than successes, call it a stellar trip.

They outran Portland, outmuscled Utah, gave the Los Angeles Clippers everything it could handle, and then came back a night later with Wade sitting, and beat the young up-start Lakers. Yes, the game in Denver was a disappointment, but considering they have now lost 10 straight in the Mile High City, well, some habits die hard.

What has impressed Wade so far, however, has been his new team’s ability to adapt to the style of play of the opposition.

“You want teams to play to you, too,’’ Wade said. “You don’t always want to have to match up to teams. You want teams to have to match up to you.

“Good teams can play many different styles and we want to get to be a good team. We want to build to be that.’’

To do that they need these three players to pick it up as the season goes on, or at least play with more consistency.

1. Nikola Mirotic: His importance off the bench can’t be understated. The problem is when “Bad Niko’’ shows up, he becomes almost unplayable for coach Fred Hoiberg.

In Bulls wins this season, Mirotic was shooting 46 percent from the field, getting 25 minutes of work per game, hitting 37 percent of his 3s, and grabbing 7.6 rebounds per contest. In the six losses? Mirotic earned just less than 20 minutes of work, shot 29 percent from the field, 23 percent from 3, and pulled

8 BEARS NOTES

Leno taking on leadership role for offense

By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@profootballweekly.com LAKE FOREST – The member of the starting 11 on offense who will have played the most games in a Bears uniform when the team hits the field Sunday is none other than left tackle Charles Leno.

A 2014 seventh-round pick, the blindside tackle will be appearing in his 33rd game as a Bear while starting his 24th consecutive game, dating back to Week 4 last year when he took over for Jermon Bushrod.

With Jay Cutler, Zach Miller, Kyle Long and Alshon Jeffery all out, it’s Leno who is the experienced player for the starting offense to lean on. (Backup Ka’Deem Carey has the overall experience lead by one game – he will suit up for his 34th game as a Bear on Sunday.)

“Charles Leno’s a veteran that knows how to do things the right way,” offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains said.

For Leno, it’s both a sign of the offense’s injury issues (and lack of roster continuity over the years) as well as his ascent.

“It just comes with the territory,” he said after Thursday’s practice. “We have

Bears tackle Charles Leno (72) drops into pass protection against the Dallas Cowboys on Sept. 25 in Arlington, Texas. a lot of guys down, so somebody’s got to step up and do it. Everybody looking upon me because I am a veteran guy, a guy who’s been here for a while. It just comes with the role.”

Loggains said that Leno is “still a

work in progress” but has “had a solid year to this point.” On Sunday, he’ll face a Tennessee Titans defense that is ninth in the NFL in sacks per pass attempt. At times, he’ll go up against defensive tackle Jurrell Casey, who has 15 QB hits.

“He’s a load. That’s a big guy,” Leno said “Really powerful, really quick to be that big. Just a really good athlete. He’s going to be a problem, but we have the guys on the offensive line to try to neutralize him and neutralize their front.”

Edge rushers Brian Orakpo and Derrick Morgan have combined for 17 sacks and 33 QB hits.

“Orakpo, really quick and powerful guy. So explosive off the ball. He shows up on tape a lot,” Leno said. “Morgan, long body, long arms, he gets good push with the length.”

As far as his leadership role goes, Leno – who is only 25 – is reminding the young players what is still ahead of them.

“Just keep getting better. Guys are in situations where they can impress a lot of people,” he said. “… There’s opportunity out there, take advantage of it and don’t shy away from it.”

Injury update: Jay Cutler did not practice Thursday, along with Josh Sitton, Eddie Royal and Leonard Floyd. The good news for the Bears is that rookie corner Deiondre’ Hall practiced for the first time since injuring his ankle in October. Bobby Massie, Eddie Goldman and Cre’Von LeBlanc were among the 13 players listed as limited.

won five consecutive state titles under Leonard from 2010-14.

Rochester’s only loss this season came in Week 7 to SH-G, 33-28, in a Central State Eight Conference game.

Those two teams often offer one another the toughest game on the schedule.

“It’s a grind, for a lot of different reasons,” Ken Leonard said. “No. 1, they’re a great program, and No. 2, it’s

my son. Their philosophy and our philosophy are almost identical. It’s like playing us. You’re going to have to go out and play a great game to win. After that game, you know where you’re at.”

Detroit takes a one-game lead in NFC North

By LARRY LAGE

The Associated Press DETROIT – Darius Slay dropped into coverage as if he was going to cover a deep route and pounced on an opportunity to help the Lions come back to win another game.

Slay intercepted Sam Bradford’s pass from the left hash across the field to help send the Lions into sole possession of first place in the NFC North.

Slay returned the interception 13 yards with 30 seconds left to set up Matt Prater’s 40-yard field goal as time expired, lifting the Lions to a 16-13 win over the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday.

Minnesota could have stuck with the conservative approach it took on offense for much of the game and played for overtime on its last drive, but coach Mike Zimmer allowed Bradford to pass and Slay made him regret it.

“I knew they were going to throw,” Slay said. “They didn’t want overtime.

They know what happened last time.”

Earlier this month, Prater made a game-tying 58-yard field goal at the

Detroit Lions kicker Matt Prater is congratulated by teammates after kicking a 40-yard game-winning field goal Thursday against the Minnesota Vikings in Detroit. end of regulation at Minnesota and the Lions won in overtime.

Slay, a standout cornerback, who calls himself “Big Play Slay,” fooled Bradford by coming up and stepping in front of Adam Thielen to pick off the pass.

“I wish I could have seen him fall off the outside route and come back in,” Bradford said.

The Lions (7-4) have won six of seven, including two against Minnesota this

month and four of the wins have come on Prater’s field goals, despite trailing in the fourth quarter of every game this season.

Slay sealed the first victory during the successful stretch with an interception late in the game on Oct. 9 against Philadelphia.

“He’s as good as they come in those situations,” Lions coach Jim Caldwell said. “He’s kind of got a knack for it. He’s a bit of a riverboat gambler.”

Detroit extended its NFL record of having its first 11 games decided by seven or fewer points.

“They come from behind every week, so when we took the lead in the fourth quarter, we knew the game wasn’t over,” Minnesota tight end Kyle Rudolph said.

“We had to keep playing, but we didn’t make enough plays.”

The Vikings (6-5) have lost five of six, plummeting out of first place after surging to the top of the division by winning their first five games.

first time, giving them a 13-10 lead early in the fourth on a 28-yard field goal after Cordarrelle Patterson gained 22 yards on a reverse .

The Lions moved a step closer toward winning a division title for the first time since 1993 by breaking a tie atop the NFC North with Minnesota.

If both teams finish the regular season tied atop the division, Detroit would win the tiebreaker.

“If they were handing out trophies the day after this win, I’d feel a little bit different,” Caldwell said. “It means nothing right now, right? We haven’t done anything.”

THREE-AND-OUT

Minnesota didn’t convert a third down until Bradford connected with Patterson late in the third quarter and finished 2 of 10 on third down.

“We weren’t good enough on third downs offensively,” Zimmer said. “We can’t continue to shoot ourselves in the LOSING THE LEAD(S) foot with some of those penalties and Forbath put the Vikings ahead for the negative plays.”

Ken and Derek Leonard almost didn’t know what to do the week of Thanksgiving last year.

Ken Leonard, the head football coach at Sacred Heart-Griffin, and his son Derek, the head coach at Rochester, were accustomed to preparing their teams for state championship games. In the previous two seasons, both of their teams won state titles.

“Last year we both went out in the quarterfinals,” Ken said. “We don’t like that.”

This season, the Leonards are back.

Derek’s 12-1 Rockets plays Johnsburg (13-0) for the Class 4A state championship at 7 p.m. Friday at Illinois’ Memorial Stadium. Ken’s 13-0 Cyclones face Prairie Ridge (13-0) in the Class 6A title game at 1 p.m. Saturday.

Ken Leonard is 362-67 in his 37-year career and just passed Mount Carmel’s Frank Lenti for No. 1 on the IHSA career wins list with the Cyclones’ 28-16 semifinal win over St. Laurence. SH-G has five state titles under Leonard.

Derek Leonard, who played quarterback for his father at SH-G, is 118-29 in 12 seasons at Rochester. The Rockets

to this boy, or play this boy, or to handle yourself well if you lose,” Ken said.

“She’s the greatest wife and mother and grandmother. I outkicked my coverage with her.”

Through so many times going to state finals games, Derek Leonard has better learned how to mentally handle the week.

“We just relax (Thursday), have a good time, even Friday morning,” Derek said. “By Wednesday, if your kids don’t know it and you don’t know it, you ain’t going to do it. It’s time to relax, enjoy it and take it in a little bit, probably starting about Wednesday after practice.”

Prairie Ridge coach Chris Schremp took his team to Memorial Stadium in 2011 for the Class 4A game, just to see the atmosphere. Schremp felt having already been there calmed the nerves for the next day.

While Prairie Ridge players likely will root for McHenry County neighbor Johnsburg, Ken Leonard and his team will have a stronger cheering interest with Rochester.

“He’ll be up there with my son, for sure,” Derek said. “I’ll be there Saturday rooting him on. It’s pretty cool we’re both going again.”

Blackhawks’ center Jonathan Toews (right) crashes to the ice with Calgary Flames’ Mark Giordano after the two collided Nov. 18 in Calgary, Alberta.

BLACKHAWKS

ONLY $24,995

Toews questionable for game vs. Anaheim EL SEGUNDO, Calif. – Take Patrick Kane off the Blackhawks roster, and there still are guys who can fill the net, gifted stars such as Artemi Panarin and Marian Hossa.

Take Marcus Kruger off the roster, and there still are guys who can kill penalties, reliable grinders such as Dennis Rasmussen and Andrew Desjardins. Heck, take Corey Crawford off the roster, and there’s still a playoff-tested goaltender in Scott Darling.

But take Jonathan Toews off the ice and the lineup all but falls apart. Toews isn’t the Hawks’ top offensive threat. He isn’t their No. 1 penalty killer. He usually isn’t even on the No. 1 power-play unit. But he does all of those things, and he does them all at an extremely high level. He’s a grinder with jaw-dropping skill. He draws the toughest defensive assignments, plays in the game’s biggest moments, and is the Hawks’ captain and rock. Even mired in a scoring slump as he is now, Toews has been and will continue to be the Hawks’ most irreplaceable player.

“Jonny’s importance to our team is immense,” Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said after a Thanksgiving Day practice at the Los Angeles’ Kings practice facility. “In all situations, the minutes he absorbs and the assignments he gets against him – they’re all important minutes when he’s out on the ice.

There’s a lot of ice time and a lot of quality ice time [to fill] if there’s not Jonny

Toews in your lineup.”

Well, the Hawks might have to fill that ice time this afternoon against the Anaheim Ducks, and possibly Saturday night against the Kings. Toews left Wednesday night’s game in San Jose with an upper-body injury after falling awkwardly along the boards. He did not participate in Thursday’s practice – although he was at the Toyota Sports Center, looking ambulatory and able – is “questionable” for today’s game, according to Quenneville. He has missed just three games in the last two-plus seasons.

In his absence, rookie Vinnie Hinostroza was the top-line center, between Ryan Hartman and Marian Hossa. Indeed, the lineup looks a whole lot different without Toews anchoring that top spot.

“He’s got so much responsibility, not only as a leader and as our captain, but the ice time he gets,” Kane said. “We know that. But injuries happen in this game. I’m not sure if he’s playing or not [Friday], we’ll see. Knowing him, he’ll probably try and play.”

With or without Toews, the Hawks need to win Friday if they want to finish the circus trip with a winning record.

After dreadful efforts in Winnipeg and Edmonton, and a miracle comeback in Vancouver, the Hawks fell 2-1 to San Jose to drop to 2-3-0 on the trip. But they felt good about their game against the Sharks, stymied only by a stellar 33-save effort by goalie Martin Jones.

Kane called it one of the Hawks’ better efforts of the season.

Rookies lead Cowboys to 10th straight victory

ARLINGTON, Texas – Rookies Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott keep winning for the Dallas Cowboys, even with Kirk Cousins setting records for the Washington Redskins.

Prescott accounted for two touchdowns, Elliott ran for a pair of scores and the Cowboys extended their franchise regular-season record with a 10th straight victory, beating the Redskins 31-26 on Thursday.

Prescott tied Don Meredith’s club quarterback record from 50 years ago with his fifth rushing TD and the NFL-leading Cowboys (10-1) won despite 449 yards passing and three touchdowns from Cousins, the first Redskins quarterback with two 400yard games in a season.

“You know you’re talking to someone who knows how hard this is to win 10 games in a row, and I do,” Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones said. “I know how we’re getting it done, and we’re getting done by hard work and Dak’s a great example.”

The Redskins (6-4-1) got swept by their NFC East rival, and the defending division champions fell 3½ games behind Dallas with five games left. It was their seventh loss in eight tries on Thanksgiving against Cowboys, who had never won more than eight straight in the regular season.

“We’ve been in third place for a while, so we have to understand where we are what it’s going to take to get an opportunity to come back here in the future,” Washington coach Jay Gruden said. “The last five games of the year

are critical.”

Elliott, the NFL rushing leader, had the fourth score on five straight second-half touchdown drives between the two teams with a 1-yard run for a 31-19 lead midway through the fourth quarter. The 21-year-old had 97 yards to give him 1,199 for the season.

Steelers 28, Colts 7: At Indianapolis, Ben Roethlisberger and Antonio Brown hooked up for three touchdowns Thursday night and the Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense shut down the Indianapolis Colts in a 28-7 victory.

The Steelers (6-5) helped their playoff chances with a second straight win and snapped a four-game losing streak on Thanksgiving.

Colts quarterback Andrew Luck sat out with a concussion, and his absence showed as Indy’s first winning streak of the season ended at two games.

While his replacement, Scott Tolzien, hung tough most of the night, the performance wasn’t good enough to extend the Colts’ 10-game winning streak on Thursday nights.

The Steelers built a 21-7 lead by scoring touchdowns on each of their first three possessions – a 5-yard TD run from Le’Veon Bell, and touchdown catches by Brown of 25 and 33 yards.

Indy’s only score came on a 5-yard TD pass from Tolzien to Donte Moncrief early in the second quarter, a play set up by the first completion of Pat McAfee’s career on a fake punt.

The Colts had two chances to cut the deficit but Tolzien was stopped twice on third-down runs at the 1-yard line, and the Steelers forced incompletions on both fourth-down plays.
