Winter isn’t coming; it’s here Winter arrived sometime last Saturday in the early afternoon. I didn’t check the clock, but it’s here.

It could have been the dusting of snow we got overnight, leaving its telltale signs in the morning on the roofs of houses and garages, but nothing to be alarmed about. It could have been the fact that the temperature didn’t get out of the 30s, and it was windy on top of it. We’re talking wind chill now.

No, the sure sign that winter had arrived was what I was wearing. I started the day in my trusty old Village People T-shirt, but sometime around noon or 1 p.m., I felt a chill that wouldn’t go away. I decided then and there to change into my navy blue long-sleeved shirt for a little extra warmth. Winter is here.

The fourth season doesn’t officially arrive until the winter solstice at 4:44 a.m. Dec. 21, the shortest and darkest day of the year, but there is no doubt about it: Winter is here, with daily highs in the 40s and lows in the 20s and 30s.

As we get into the real winter months of December, January and February, there can be no doubt that the temperatures are going to dip below zero frequently with northerly winds, making the 40s seem utterly balmy. But for now, the temperatures are chilly as our bodies get used to winter weather, especially when the day before winter arrived it was in the 60s, unseasonably warm for this time of year.

All of the seasons have their good points – the blossoms of spring, the warmth of summer’s long days, the changing color of leaves in the fall. But winter is my favorite season, even though it presents a lot of obstacles.

But the fact remains that I will take 20 degrees below zero before 90 degrees above zero any day. As long as the water pipes don’t freeze and the car starts, I’m good with 20 below.

There’s something bracing about below-zero weather that is invigorating. The air is crisp and clean, the sky a clear blue, the stars extra bright.

You just have to dress for it in layers, have a good coat, a warm knit hat and gloves or mittens. A scarf helps, too. And long johns if you’re going to be outside for any length of time. Same goes for boots and thick wool socks. Then you’re ready for it.

For those of you who don’t like winter, we had an extended fall this year, with mild weather through all of October and well into November. You can’t complain about that. It shortened your winter season some.

I especially like the angle of the sun in the winter, as it makes a low arc across the sky. The

VIEWS Dick Peterson short shadows of summer are replaced by the long shadows of winter, when your shadow is three or four times as long as your body. And the intensity of the sun lessens, taking on a yellowish tint as the afternoon progresses. It’s beautiful.

But winter isn’t without its obstacles. First and foremost is frost on the windshield and windows of your car. If you get up early enough, you can let your car idle a little while as the engine heats up and starts blowing hot air, making the frost vanish.

Otherwise you’re left to scraping, and that can take a long time depending on how good your scraper is. And each of them is a little different, conforming to the glass differently. Some are worthless and just make scratch marks; others scrape the frost clear. But you never know what you’re getting when you buy it. It’s best to let your car warm up and save yourself the aggravation.

Then there’s the snow – pure, white snow, falling 3 or 4 inches or 9 or 12 inches at a time, blanketing all of the gray and brown that fall leaves behind. There’s nothing quite like taking a walk when the snow is falling in steady, big flakes, muffling all of the sounds around you, piling up on tree limbs, making a winter wonderland. Or walking after the snow has fallen and hearing it crunch beneath your feet.

But there’s the small matter of shoveling it.

I’m not sure who actually likes shoveling snow, but you have to do it if you expect to get out of your driveway. I don’t mind shoveling the powdery snow that flies easily off the shovel.

It’s the heavy wet stuff that is the back breaker, and no one likes that. I’ve got a good heart, but I can’t help think of having a heart attack while I’m hefting the heavy, wet snow. That’s not the way I want to go.

But that’s what we have to look forward to for the next five months. The T-shirts are put away, and the long sleeves are out. Winter has arrived.

Enjoy.

Lake in the Hills resident Erin Gard, 25, stands Monday in her room. Gard is trying to raise awareness of epilepsy. She’s been working with people from the Chicago Blackhawks, her favorite team, to help spread awareness to the NHL. After an episode this summer that almost took her life, she had major surgery last week to try to help reduce her seizures.

Beyond her work with the Blackhawks, she said she wants to expand epilepsy awareness to Major League Baseball and the National Football League.

LITH woman teams up with Blackhawks to spread info about disorder

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com LAKE IN THE HILLS – Erin Gard almost lost her life this summer because of epilepsy. Doctors had to put her in a coma to stop her from having constant seizures.

She spent four weeks at Northwestern Medicine and two at The Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago.

A few months later, Gard had vagus nerve stimulation surgery Nov. 18 to try to reduce the number of seizures

she has and the severity of them.

“We’re hoping this results in about a 60 percent seizure improvement,” Gard said.

The 25-year-old Lake in the Hills resident was diagnosed with epilepsy when she was 8. More than a decade later, Gard said she’s only just starting to embrace her epilepsy, as she went through a phase in high school when she didn’t want to discuss it with anyone.

“Now I understand how important it is to talk about it and spread aware-

ness,” Gard said.

November is Epilepsy Awareness Month. Even with the month coming to an end soon, Gard wants to continue to spread awareness through her favorite sport: hockey.

Last year, Gard, a die-hard Blackhawks fan, wrote a letter to Rocky Wirtz, the Blackhawks’ general manager and president. That letter led to a response from the Chicago Blackhawks Charities, where she was invited to set up informational booths in the concourse and spread epilepsy aware-

ness to fans.

After last year’s successful message, Gard reached out again this fall to the Chicago Blackhawks Charities, who invited her back on Tuesday for a special epilepsy awareness night.

“So this year we invited two great charities to join us,” Gard said. “The two organizations were the Danny Did Foundation and the Angel Wings Foundation, which do a lot for people with epilepsy.”

Volunteers build wheelchair ramp for McHenry family Woodstock Kiwanis Club, Marian Central High School Key Club members pitch in

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com McHENRY – Kristin Green will have a much easier time getting her 5-year-old son, Easton, out of the house for trips to school and the doctor, thanks to a group of Woodstock volunteers.

Green’s son has cerebral palsy, a disability that stems from brain damage that affects motor functioning, muscle coordination and body movement. The Greens’ McHenry home didn’t have a ramp, and insurance wouldn’t cover the cost to get one installed, so they began searching for nonprofit organizations that could lend

a hand.

“We tried a couple different organizations, but they are so busy. Everyone is always doing stuff,” Kristin Green said.

“We looked at the financial aspect, but we make too much to qualify for assistance – but they don’t look at the medical aspect of what his journey and life takes.”

The Woodstock Kiwanis Club and members of the Marian Central Catholic High School Key Club stepped in to help with the project and build the ramp Saturday morning. The service club started under new leadership in 2015, seven years after the former Woodstock Kiwanis Club dissolved.

Alan Arbuckle of the Woodstock Kiwanis Club has been part of various service organizations, including Habitat for Humanity and multiple Kiwanis clubs, for more than 30 years. He was on the scene Saturday helping with the ramp.

“Service is a bit addictive,” he said.

“Once you start, you’re always looking for something to do.”

He added that the ramp the club was

installing could easily cost more than $10,000 and was donated by a school, which helped keep project costs down.

Ann Bush, 15, a Marian Central sophomore and a member of the Key Club, said she liked to volunteer because it feels good to help people.

“They are always so nice,” she said.

“They appreciate so much when we help them.”

Kristin Green, who has a sprained back because of how often she has to carry her 40-pound son around, said that the ability to roll the wheelchair out of the house and to their vehicle will be amazing. Linda Glasscott, Green’s mother, takes care of her grandson during the week and said it will make a world of difference.

“This is going to be really different for us,” she said. “It’s fortunate that we have such a strong family and a strong, small core group that gets us through what we need. It’s been quite a journey, but he is a great kid. He’s got an awesome personality.”

2016 has become a bloody year for law enforcement

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

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

kcraver@shawmedia.com Forty-one police officers were killed in the line of duty last year as the result of an intentional act.

Although that number sounds high – one can argue that a single fatality is one too many – it’s one of the lowest annual figures since the FBI started keeping track, and the number has been on a steady decline since reaching a peak in the 1970s. All but three of the officers who died last year at the hands of criminals were shot.

That lower number is little consolation to the friends and family of McHenry County Sheriff’s Deputy Dwight Maness, who in 2015 died from complications from gunshot wounds he suffered after responding to a domestic disturbance call in Holiday Hills.

But 2016 is proving to be a terrible year for men and women who wear police uniforms. As of Wednesday, 60 police officers have been shot and killed this year, according to the nonprofit National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund. That’s more than a 67 percent increase over this time last year.

What makes the problem worse is the disturbing trend of officers being intentionally targeted as police tactics and shootings by police, particularly in cases involving minorities, are facing greater scrutiny.

Four police officers were shot last weekend – one fatally – and in at least two of the incidents, investigators allege that the assailants were looking to kill police officers. A gunman angry over the fatal police shootings of black men killed five police officers in Dallas and wounded nine more at a July 7 protest – the rampage was the deadliest day for police since the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.

Put another way, this year is shaping up to be the first in Crystal Lake Police Chief James Black’s almost 30-year career that the number of police killed by firearms will be greater than the number of police who die in accidents. He and other police chiefs are wondering why they aren’t hearing a lot more outrage from the public.

Hours after Black spoke Wednesday afternoon, a Michigan police officer who had been shot in the head the day before succumbed to his wound, becoming 61st law enforcement officer shot and killed this year. The memorial fund database had not been updated as of Friday.

“One of our founding principles in the Constitution is freedom of speech.

Authorities investigate Tuesday after the shooting of a Wayne State University officer in Detroit. The officer was shot while on duty near the campus, the city’s police chief said. tion results, but no one really seems to be incensed about the senseless murder of police officers,” Black said.

Other chiefs are much more blunt.

In a Facebook post last Tuesday, Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police President Steven Casstevens wrote that he was “compelled to demand outrage” from an American public and media that he alleges is not giving the indignation they have applied to other tragedies to the targeting of law enforcement.

Casstevens, who is chief of police in Buffalo Grove, was chief of the Cary Police Department from 2011 to 2013.

“I refuse to accept the normalization of violence against police,” Casstevens said. “Targeting, harming and killing law enforcement officers is a vicious, calculated act of domestic terrorism. It is not to be entertained, much less tolerated, by a nation that lives, breathes and thrives on liberty and freedom from tyranny. Every decent citizen of this country should demand that this stop.”

Lawmakers in several states are trying to augment penalties for targeting police officers, on top of existing laws in all 50 states and at the federal level that make harming or killing police a more serious crime.

Louisiana earlier this year passed a “Blue Lives Matter” law that makes police, firefighters and emergency medical personnel protected classes under the state’s hate-crime laws. The law, which is the first of its kind in the nation, adds another five years in prison for anyone convicted of targeting a police officer.

Lawmakers in several other states and Congress are trying to advance similar legislation – an Iowa lawmaker who has attempted to do so said he will

redouble his efforts after two police officers in Des Moines and a nearby suburb were ambushed and killed in their patrol cars by the same assailant earlier this month.

While local and national police unions vocally support such legislation, civil-rights groups allege that hate crime and civil-rights laws should not be extended to occupation, and that doing so will water down protections for people of different races, religions and ethnicities.

But police chiefs maintain that something has to be done.

While Casstevens lamented the state of the long-standing “social contract” between police and the communities they protect, Black, who is vice president of the chiefs’ association, said that the current atmosphere is resulting in fewer people wanting to join law enforcement.

During his first year as chief four years ago, 200 applicants showed up to test for the Crystal Lake Police Department.

This past summer, 66 applicants tested – a drop of almost 80 percent.

Black said that although his officers are proud that they patrol a very safe city, he did not doubt that what’s happening to police, and not just in the big cities, is “very much in the back of their minds.” As for a solution, he said, that’s too complicated an issue to boil down into simplicity, but it could start with law enforcement, elected officials and communities working together.

“We all need to do a better job and figure out a successful resolution to this,” Black said. “We are the fine line that keeps people safe from anarchy, and if no one is outraged about our murders, I think that says something about our society.”

A snapshot of McHenry County history Photo provided by the McHenry County Historical Society

Early farmhouses were utilitarian, unlike the beautiful “painted lady” homes of McHenry County’s older municipalities. These houses provided a roof, space for the family to gather and a place to lay their heads at night. The architecture was no-nonsense, with no fancy embellishments or colors, and no frills or unnecessary amenities. Many were painted white, some still boasted simple log or timber shells and others were made of clapboard.

Once in a while we have the opportunity to gaze at a remarkable and perhaps breathtaking exception.

This undated picture of the Davidson farm is of one such house that was built around 1896 and is located off Pagels Road in Chemung Township. While the photo is relatively current, it captures the nature of the home as if time stood still. It is a true McHenry County treasure.

The McHenry County Historical Society will host a monthlong quilt contest and show kicking off with its annual Holiday Open House from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at the county historical museum, 6422 Main St. in Union.

The open house features free admission to the museum that day, as well as live music, a bake sale and – of course – a display of holiday-themed quilts. For details, visit www. gothistory.org.

Pet grooming facility, other businesses eyeing spots in Lake in the Hills

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com LAKE IN THE HILLS – A pet grooming facility is looking to fill a vacant building in Lake in the Hills that used to be a day care center.

The Lake in the Hills Planning and Zoning Commission made a recommendation for the Board of Trustees to approve a conditional use permit needed for the business to relocate, Lake in the Hills Community Development Director Michael Brown said.

Pampered Tails Pet Grooming Salon plans to move from its location in Crystal Lake to 61 Polaris Drive, Lake in the Hills, to have more space, co-owner Eric Fry said. The space has been vacant for less than a year.

Fry and his wife, Lisa Fry, have operated the Crystal Lake location for six years. The business sees up to about 50 dogs in a day, and provides bath and grooming services for dogs and cats.

“The mission is to offer a family-friendly and a dog-friendly service to the community,” Eric Fry said.

The new space is about 2,600 square feet – twice the size of the Crystal Lake location, Eric Fry said. If plans are approved by the village, the couple hope to open the new shop in the spring.

“At this point, the main focus is just to be able to accommodate dogs and groom and [give] baths,” Eric Fry said, adding that in the future, the business also might sell products.

Aside from Pampered Tails Pet Grooming Salon, three other developments also are eyeing Lake in the Hills, Brown said.

The planning commission will be reviewing petitions for an automobile repair business at 561 Jennings Drive, a church at 9233 S. Route 31 and a veterinary clinic at 6 Miller Road, Unit C. “I think the business climate is right, and it’s a good location – people [are] in the area,” Brown said, “so it’s really great for the community.”

HUNTLEY – Although the village of Huntley is requesting more money than last year for its 2016 property tax levy, the tax levy rate is expected to stay the same.

The village is asking for $4.5 million, compared with the $3.8 million it requested the past six years, Huntley Finance Director Jennifer Chernak said. The increase is because of the village’s south tax increment financing district at the end of the year.

“The valuation of the TIF will now be included in what the village requests,” Chernak said.

In a TIF district, the equalized assessed valuation of all taxable real estate within the area is “frozen” as the base EAV for 23 years. Taxes are levied at the base EAV in the redevelopment area for taxing districts such as the county and school districts.

However, the growth in property tax revenues as a result of the private investment is put into a TIF fund controlled by the municipality and used to pay for the public investment made in the redevelopment area or other eligible TIF costs, such as incentives.

The south TIF district in Huntley was created to help develop what was once farmland and now includes businesses such as the Huntley Outlet Center and General RV Center, Chernak said.

“Our focus this year is, ‘Let’s do

what we can to hold the rate for taxpayers,’ ” Chernak said.

An average homeowner of a $250,000 house in Huntley would pay about $449 to the village, she said, and less if any exemptions are taken.

The value of the taxable property in the village is set to grow by about 10 percent from last year, according to a preliminary estimate by the McHenry County Assessor’s Office.

Huntley Mayor Charles Sass said he’s proud that the village has been able to hold the rate the past few years.

Factors that are increasing expenses for the village next budget year include the state mandate requiring dispatch center consolidation and the decrease of building permits, he said.

“We’re doing 200 building permits this year in the residential, and we’re not forecasting much for next year,” Sass said.

Because the proposed 2016 gross property tax levy is 105 percent greater than the 2015 net property tax extension, the village is required under the Truth in Taxation Law to hold a public hearing. The hearing will be at 7 p.m. Thursday at Huntley Village Hall, 10987 Main St. “In my estimate it will be a one-time process because in 2018 we would’ve already captured the TIF value,” Chernak said.

After the hearing, the village’s budget and property tax levy are set to be voted on at the Dec. 8 Village Board meeting, Chernak said.

Continued from page A3

H. Rick Bamman – hbamman@shawmedia.com

Erin Gard, 25, stands Monday in her room in Lake in the Hills. Gard is trying to raise awareness of epilepsy.

She’s been working with people from the Chicago Blackhawks, her favorite team, to help spread awareness to the NHL. After an episode this summer that almost took her life, she had major surgery last week to try to help reduce her seizures.

CLINIC

I want a that doesn’t CHARGE a facility fee.

Gard said she was inspired to reach out to the Blackhawks after seeing pink ribbons for breast cancer awareness all over the NFL. “And even though I’m focused on working with the Blackhawks right now, I want to also expand epilepsy awareness to the MLB and NFL someday,” Gard said. “I’m going to do whatever it takes to get it into as many sports as I can. I’m not giving up.”

Gard’s mother, Joanne Guthrie-Gard, said she’s really proud of her daughter for reaching out to various organizations to help spread epilepsy awareness.

“People typically don’t know a lot about seizures, so they typically don’t know there are more than a dozen different types of seizures,” Guthrie-Gard said.

“Erin can actually be walking, have her eyes open, be picking out clothes and still be having a seizure.”

Guthrie-Gard said more people need to be aware of the side effects, what they should do if they see someone having an epileptic seizure and know when to call 911.

“You shouldn’t try to stop them from shaking,” Guthrie-Gard said. “It could end up hurting them instead. What people should do is try to document what happened, like how she’s reacting and how long it lasts, and then share that information with the doctor.”

Although there is no cure for epilepsy, Guthrie-Gard said the goal is to get her daughter free of seizures.

Gard takes five different medications in the morning and six different medications at night to try to control her seizures.

“As her mother and caregiver, I want to be aware of what medications she’s taking, and if a doctor suggests a change in medication, it’s important for me to understand why,” Guthrie-Gard said.

A graduate of McHenry County College’s culinary program, Gard is looking for work.

“I can’t drive because of my epilepsy,” Gard said.

“Yes, it’s hard for her to find reliable transportation here, even though she’s fully capable of working,” Guthrie-Gard said. “That’s another thing that many people may not realize epilepsy victims may have to deal with.”

When it comes to health care, you want a provider that treats you fairly. Unfortunately, health systems in this region are changing their billing practices and are now charging a facility fee every time you visit your clinic doctor. This means higher out-ofpocket expenses—sometimes hundreds of dollars more—even for routine clinic visits.

At Mercyhealth’s 15 McHenry County clinics, there are no hidden costs and you will NOT be charged a facility fee. It’s our honor to care for you and we’ll treat you fairly, always.

To schedule an appointment with a doctor and save additional out-of-pocket expenses at one of our clinics that charges ZERO facility fees, call (888) 39-MERCY.

Mercyhealth does not charge a facility fee at any of our 15 McHenry County clinics.

JOSEPH WELDON LAYTHAM

Born: January 25, 1944; in Kansas City, KS Died: November 12, 2016; in Elk Grove Village, IL Joseph “Joe” Laytham, age 72, of Huntley, IL died Saturday, Nov. 12, 2016 at Alexian Bros Medical Center.

He was born January 25, 1944 to Olin and Offie Laytham. Joe graduated from Wyandotte High School in Kansas City, KS and afterward served proudly in the U.S. Army and was stationed in Alaska for a time. He was a wonderful salesperson and worked many years for close-out companies. Joe was a selfless person with a servant’s heart. He never met a stranger and would reach out to anyone who needed assistance. There was never any doubt that he was a firm believer and would often end sentences with “until the Lord takes me home.” Joe loved music and singing. He now continues singing joyous praise to our Lord & Savior.

Joe married Judy Brizzi, his devoted wife of over 25 years, at Willow Creek Community Church in South Barrington, IL on March 2, 1991. The day they met, his first words to her were, “Would you like to dance, ma’am?”

She said “Yes” and they continued to dance together regularly for over 27 years. Joe had suffered from dementia, but never stopped dancing and never missed a beat.

Joe is survived by his wife, Judy; his loving step-sons, Jeremy Brizzi (Shannan) of Chicago, IL and Donovan Brizzi (Tara) of Ft. Myers, FL; His son, Kevin of Kansas City, MO; brothers, Melvin (Barbara), Jimmy, and Danny, all of Kansas City, KS; sister, Virginia Hanthorn (Bob) of Wichita, KS; and Grand-children, Nieces & nephews; and his sweet little dog, Rosie.

Joe was preceded in death by his parents; brothers, Don, Gerald, Clayton, Marvin and Clifford; and his beloved dog, Pippen.

On December 5, 2016 at Willow Creek Crystal Lake, 220 Exchange, Crystal Lake, IL at 3:00 p.m. there will be an opportunity to visit with the family. At 4:00 p.m. the memorial service celebrating Joe’s life will begin.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Joe’s honor would be gratefully accepted to the Willow Creek Huntley-Building Fund.

Lake Co. to launch foster child system reform The ASSOCIATED PRESS

WAUKEGAN – A state effort aimed at reducing the time foster children spend in temporary placements in Illinois is being launched in Lake County.

A court-appointed panel developed the plan that localizes decision-making and emphasizes keeping families together, according to the Chicago Tribune.

“It is not normal to grow up in foster care,” Department of Children and Family Services Director George Sheldon said. “It is not normal to have your parents change every eight hours in an institution. It’s not normal to move

U.S. Rep. Davis urges tougher gun laws at grandson’s funeral

CHICAGO – A Chicago congressman called for tougher gun laws and more investment in inner-city communities during a funeral Saturday for his 15-year-old grandson, who was shot dead after an argument over basketball shoes.

U.S. Rep. Danny Davis told worshippers that Javon Wilson was like millions of kids who “cannot live without the fear of not making it through another day.”

Wilson was shot in the head last week inside his home on Chicago’s South Side.

Two juveniles – a 16-year-old boy and 17-year-old girl – have been charged with first-degree murder and ordered held without bail.

“Somehow or another we have not had the will to stop the flow of guns through our inner-city communities, where they run through like water running through the Mississippi River,” Davis said as he delivered the eulogy at Carey Tercentenary AME Church.

He also questioned how the teenagers responsible were able to get a gun.

Chicago has seen a spike in gun violence this year, with close to 700 homicides and nearly 4,000 shooting victims. In August alone, 91 people were killed, marking the deadliest month in

Police say Wilson knew the teens charged with killing him, and that they may have been friends at some point.

Davis said he was told a boy traded pants for shoes with Wilson’s 14-yearold brother but changed his mind and went to Wilson’s house with the 17-yearold girl.

He said they forced their way into the home, where the teenagers argued before the boy shot Wilson.

Davis said he grieves for his grandson and for the people responsible for his death, saying they have been raised in a society and system that is deeply flawed.

He said there hasn’t been enough done to create jobs in struggling neighborhoods, to improve education or to give young people hope.

Among those who attended the service were the Rev. Jesse Jackson, U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas and Chicago Public Schools CEO Forrest Claypool.

1 dead, 5 injured at Chicago house party shooting

CHICAGO – A 20-year-old man has died and five other people have been injured in a shooting at a Chicago house party.

Police said the shooting occurred about 2:30 a.m. Saturday on the city’s South Side.

Community activist Andrew Holmes told WLS-TV that there was “a good amount of people” at the home when someone came through firing a weapon.

Witnesses said people jumped from an

upstairs window to escape the gunfire.

Another 20-year-old man was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in critical condition. Four people – a 25-year-old woman and men ages 21, 22 and 23 – were hospitalized and in stable condition.

No one was in police custody.

The shooting occurred about a block away from where an 18-year-old man was seriously wounded during a drive-by shooting Friday night.

Part of Galesburg mall to be demolished, replaced

GALESBURG – Parts of a Galesburg shopping mall are being demolished to make room for new buildings that could include restaurants, a hotel and an entertainment venue.

The Register-Mail reported that demo-

lition is set to begin at Sandburg Mall in the spring.

The mall’s anchor stores – Bergner’s and JCPenney – will remain, but other retailers will have to relocate.

Tom Morris is a Texas real estate investor who’s working with the mall’s new owner.

He said the heart of the mall will be torn down, and the smaller stores in the mall will likely be gone by March.

Morris said he’s hopeful some of those tenants will return once the new building is complete.

Indiana man to stand trial in Illinois infant’s 1972 death

BELLEVILLE – The Illinois Supreme Court has refused to hear the appeal of an Indiana man facing murder charges in the death of an infant more than 40 years ago.

That means 65-year-old Gary Warwick of Portage, Indiana, is now scheduled to appear in St. Clair County court on Dec. 20 in the 1972 death of Joseph Abernathy III. The 1-year-old Abernathy was found dead in a Bellville park.

According to the Belleville News-Democrat, Warwick lived with the boy and his mother at the time.

Warwick was charged in 1972 and again in 2014. But those charges were dismissed each time.

An Illinois appeals court in May overturned the most recent dismissal.

Cathy Altman is the infant’s mother and says she has dreamed that someday the case would go to trial.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Trump: Recount push a scam; election is over

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday condemned a growing push to force recounts in three states pivotal to his Nov. 8 victory, confronting the Green Party-backed effort for the first time even as he worked to address key Cabinet vacancies.

The New York billionaire, who charged the election was “rigged” on a daily basis before his victory, called the developing recount effort “a scam” in a statement released by his transition team.

Trump had been ignoring Green Party nominee Jill Stein’s fight to revisit vote totals in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.

Wisconsin officials announced late Friday they are moving forward with the first presidential recount in state history.

“The people have spoken and the election is over,” Trump declared Saturday. He added, “We must accept this result and then look to the future.”

Standing Rock Sioux tribal leader Dave Archambault and other protest organizers confidently explained that they’ll stay at the Oceti Sakowin camp and continue with nonviolent protests a day after Archambault received a letter from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers that said all federal lands north of the Cannonball River will be closed to public access Dec. 5 for “safety concerns.”

The Corps cited the oncoming winter and increasingly contentious clashes between protesters, who believe the pipeline could harm drinking water, Native American cultural sites and police.

In front of La Carreta Restaurant, the Cuban community in Miami celebrates Saturday’s announcement that Fidel Castro died.

Miami’s Cubans hope for change with Castro’s death The ASSOCIATED PRESS MIAMI – Wearing his “Bay of Pigs Veteran” shirt, 80-year-old Rafael Torre stood amid hundreds of Cuban-Americans celebrating the death of Fidel Castro and marveled that he remained in power for so long.

Cuban exiles such as Torre tried numerous ways to dislodge Castro after he took power in 1959, including the failed 1961 CIA-backed invasion memorialized on his shirt. Now, like many others, Torre is hopeful for Cuba’s future with the bearded revolutionary leader finally gone.

“We tried for more than 50 years but couldn’t do it. Now he’s dead, and maybe things can change,” Torre said. “It might take three or four years. Maybe the revolution will be on the streets in three or four months.”

Thousands of people took to the streets of Miami and nearby cities Saturday shortly after the early morning announcement of Castro’s death at age 90, and kept the party going all day. They banged pots with spoons, honked car horns, waved Cuban and U.S. flags in the air and whooped in jubilation on Calle Ocho – as Little Havana’s 8th Street is universally known.

Police blocked off streets leading to Cafe Versailles, the quintessential Cuban-American hotspot where strong cafecitos – sweetened espresso – were as common as a harsh word about Castro, the nemesis of so many exiles for so long. Many said they recognize his death alone doesn’t mean immediate democracy or freedom for the communist island.

“We need for the people of Cuba to have the freedom we have in the U.S., but this changes

nothing. There won’t be change until the people revolt,” said Juan Cobas, 50, who came to the U.S. from Cuba at age 13.

Others saw Fidel’s death as a sign that a generation that has ruled Cuba for decades is passing from the world stage, many noting that his brother, current President Raul Castro, is 85.

“I’m feeling this is the beginning of the end,” said Alex Pineiro, 32. “Fidel was the architect of what’s going on. It’s a mix of emotions, I’m happy he’s dead, but I’m celebrating hope.”

There were no reports of violence or any arrests during the demonstrations, Miami police spokeswoman Kenia Fallat said Saturday. Miami-Dade County officials said there were no plans to activate the emergency operations center – another sign of the more subdued reaction to Castro’s death than might have previously been expected.

“They are celebrating but in a very peaceful way,” Fallat said of the demonstrators.

The U.S. Coast Guard was running regular patrols and not increasing staffing levels or taking other emergency steps, Petty Officer Jonathan Lally said. The Coast Guard has seen a sharp uptick in Cubans trying to arrive in Florida by sea, with at least 7,411 Cubans attempting to migrate over the Florida Straits in the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30 compared with 4,473 in the same time frame last year.

After Castro took power, Cubans fled the island to Miami, Tampa, New Jersey and elsewhere. Some were loyalists of Fulgencio Batista, the president before Castro, while others left with the hope they would be able to return soon, after Castro was toppled. He never was.

Trump plan could mean tax hike for middle class

By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – President-elect Donald Trump’s proposals would modestly cut income taxes for most middle-class Americans. But for nearly 8 million families – including a majority of single-parent households – the opposite would occur: They’d pay more.

Most married couples with three or more children would also pay higher taxes, an analysis by the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center found. And while middle-class families as a whole would receive tax cuts of about 2 percent, they’d be dwarfed by the windfalls averaging 13.5 percent for America’s richest 1 percent.

Trump’s campaign rhetoric had promoted the benefits of his proposals for middle-income Americans.

“The largest tax reductions are for the middle class,” said Trump’s “Contract With the American Voter,” released last month.

The tax hikes that would hit single parents and large families would result from Trump’s plan to eliminate the personal exemption and the head-of-

household filing status. These features of the tax code have enabled many Americans to reduce their taxable income.

His other proposed tax changes would benefit middle- and lower-income Americans. But they wouldn’t be enough to offset those modifications.

“If you’re a low- or moderate-income single parent, you’re going to get hurt,” said Bob Williams, a fellow at the Tax Policy Center.

Unlike Trump’s polarizing proposals on immigration and trade, his tax plan is in line with traditional Republican policy.

His steep tax cuts in many ways resemble those carried out by Presidents Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush, and the Republican-run Congress is expected to welcome them.

During the campaign, Trump said his tax cuts – for individuals and companies – would energize the economy by boosting business investment in factories and equipment, while leaving consumers with more cash to spend.

His proposals, he contended, would help create 25 million jobs over the next decade.

• Sunday, November 27, 2016

BAGHDAD – Rekindling sectarian rivalries at a sensitive time, Iraq’s parliament on Saturday voted to fully legalize state-sanctioned Shiite militias long accused of abuses against minority Sunnis, adopting a legislation that promoted them to a government force empowered to “deter” security and terror threats facing the country, such as the Islamic State group.

The legislation, supported by 208 of the chamber’s 327 members, was quickly rejected by Sunni Arab politicians and lawmakers as proof of the “dictatorship” of the country’s Shiite majority and evidence of its failure to honor promises of inclusion.

“The majority does not have the right to determine the fate of everyone else,” Osama al-Nujaifi, one of Iraq’s three vice presidents and a senior Sunni politician, told reporters after the vote, which was boycotted by many Sunni lawmakers.

“There should be genuine political inclusion. This law must be revised.”

Another Sunni politician, legislator Ahmed al-Masary, said the law cast doubt on the participation in the politi-

groups. Militias set up by tiny minorities, such as Christians and Turkmen, to fight IS are also covered.

According to a text released by parliament, the militias have now become an “independent” force that is part of the armed forces and report to the prime minister, who is also the commander in chief.

The new force would be subject to military regulations, except for age and education requirements – provisions designed to prevent the exclusion of the elderly and uneducated Iraqis who joined the militias. The militiamen would benefit from salaries and pensions identical to those of the military and police, but are required to severe all links to political parties and refrain from political activism.

The legislation came at a critical stage in Iraq’s two-year fight against IS, a conflict underscored by heavy sectarian tensions given that the group follows an extremist interpretation of Sunni Islam and the security forces are predominantly Shiite. The Shiite-led government last month launched a massive campaign to dislodge IS from predominantly Sunni Mosul, Iraq’s second-largest city and the last major urban center still held by the extremist group.

OUR VIEW

Increase in police deaths is alarming One can’t draw causation from rhetoric, national media attention or social media outrage, but there definitely has been an increase in the deaths of police officers who intentionally were shot and killed because of their profession.

Whatever the reason, the trend is alarming and threatening to the safety of not just the law enforcement community but individual communiFor the record ties and the nation as a whole.

The trend is alarming and As of Friday, 61 po- threatening to the safety of lice officers had been not just the law enforcement shot and killed this community but individual comyear compared with munities and the nation.

41 similar incidents in 2015. One is too many, but the sharp increase in deaths, particularly in recent weeks, should give us pause.

No one said law enforcement was a safe profession, least of all the men and women who’ve chosen that profession, but it’s one thing to face the many dangers that always have been present and quite another to be targeted – essentially, assassinated – for doing a job that is vital to society.

The senseless slayings of police officers are, in the words of Steven Casstevens, a former Cary police chief and president of the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police, something beyond typical criminal acts.

“I refuse to accept the normalization of violence against police. Targeting, harming and killing law enforcement officers is a vicious, calculated act of domestic terrorism. It is not to be entertained, much less tolerated, by a nation that lives, breathes and thrives on liberty and freedom from tyranny. Every decent citizen of this country should demand that this stop,” Casstevens recently wrote in a statement.

We agree with that characterization, and we want the local law enforcement community to know they have our support. We also are fortunate to live in communities that value and respect police officers and the law enforcement community.

There are efforts across the nation to stiffen penalties for violence committed against police officers.

While each individual legislative action would have to be judged on its merits, we generally are supportive of that movement.

We certainly share the outrage against these cowardly murders.

Republican leadership not listening

To the Editor: Apparently the result of the last election has fallen on the deaf ears of some of the county and local Republican leadership. Attacking fellow Republicans is some people’s idea of having fun. If it sounds crazy, foolish and maybe a little nuts, you are right, and you have to

ELECTION EFFECT ON BUYING?

Gift choice may depend on how you voted

By ANNE D’INNOCENZIO The Associated Press

NEW YORK – This holiday season, elves and “joy” may be on the way out and “peace” and “hope” on the way in.

A divisive election that left half the country deflated and the other half rejuvenated could reverberate through the holiday shopping season in the gifts people give or how they spend.

Some retailers say they have seen a surge in feel-good items such as spa treatments, candles and comfort food, while executives at some major retailers like Wal-Mart, Target and Macy’s have said there’s no discernable shift in consumer behavior since the presidential election won by Republican Donald Trump.

The divide in the outlook may reflect the rift in the election, as Americans split along geographic lines as well as by income.

“I don’t need a comfort dog. I don’t need anybody to feel sorry for me,” said Rhondi Bleeker, 50, of Totowa, New Jersey. “I’m actually happy because I was for Trump.”

Bleeker, who owns an eyelash extension business, believes the economy will be better now. She says she’ll still be spending the same $3,000 as she does every holiday season, but she believes her business could do even better because whether people are sad or happy, most will want retail therapy.

Some shoppers say they plan to divert money from traditional gifts to donations to charity groups in their friends’ or relatives’ names.

Customer Chris Connacher compares votive candle holders as she makes a Thanksgiving gift purchase on Tuesday at the handblown glass shop Glassybaby, in Seattle. Shop owner Lee Rhodes says that she has seen her products with positive labels such as “peace” or “kindness” surge past holiday themes like “elf” and “joy” since Election Day. Ryan Holmes of Chicago, who voted for Democrat Hillary Clinton, said he plans to devote at least one-quarter of the $750 he typically spends on holiday gifts to doing that. Even for gifts like music or books, he says he can’t help but feel he might make a political statement such as perhaps giving a book on climate change to educate a friend.

“I am frightened to what’s to come, and sad and less hopeful,” said Holmes, 34, an urban planning and real estate consultant. But he added, “I’m feeling more engaged.”

Shoppers generally have been moving away from buying “stuff” and more toward spending on experiences.

Factors from the weather to when Thanksgiving falls already affect how stores fare at the holidays, and retailers from department stores to dis-

counters are under intense pressure from online sellers to offer low prices and convenience.

A dip in buying before a presidential election is normal as people are distracted, but spending usually bounces back afterward.

Tamara Gaffney, principal analyst and director at Adobe Systems, an online research company, said that between Nov. 1 and Nov. 14 this year, retailers lost out on more than $800 million in online revenue, with the sharpest drop happening after the Nov. 8 election.

States that voted Democratic have seen the biggest drops since the election, she said. Gaffney says she’s waiting to see how the Thanksgiving weekend plays out and may have to revise the original holiday online sales

growth forecast of 11 percent.

“We are in uncharted territory,” said Gerald Storch, the CEO of Hudson’s Bay Co., which operates department stores under that name, Lord & Taylor and Saks Fifth Avenue. “We will know more as we get past Black Friday.”

The divide could play into the hands of retailers who customize goods to cater to increasingly fragmented tastes.

“While some people might drive an election boost, there are going to be others that will hold back,” said Frank Badillo, director of research at consumer research group MacroSavvy LLC. “The winners and losers are going to be divided by category, by store, by different parts of the country.”

Peter Gold, chief marketing officer at Market America’s online marketplace Shop.com, says since late October he’s seen a sales surge in spa products, candles, and comfort food that he expects will continue through the holidays.

Products that bear words like “hope” and “kindness” are seeing sales as much as double since the election, says Lee Rhodes, founder and CEO of the nine-store Glassybaby chain that sells handblown glass items. Those with themes like “elf” and “joy” have not kept pace, she said.

Nielsen’s most recent surveys have shown that food has catapulted into the No. 2 spot in terms of hot holiday gifts, past toys and consumer electronics this season, said Jordan Rost of the company’s consumer insights division. Gift cards ranked first, as they have for several years. He said food is a safe bet for retailers because millennials turn to comfort food when they are stressed, and baby boomers turn to food as a reward.

Gifts of liquor to recovering alcholic are not appreciated Dear Abby: I recently got my husband back in touch with “Scott,” his best friend from adolescence and college.

My husband’s ex had kept them apart, so this rekindling is extra special and appreciated. I don’t want to do anything that would jeopardize it. But Scott’s wife makes me very uncomfortable.

She is quiet and reserved, but very manipulative. Neither she nor her husband are drinkers, but she insists on bringing a gift of some form of alcohol every time we see them, which is about once a month.

Abby, I am a recovering alcoholic.

I have worked hard for my 11 years of sobriety, and continue to work hard at it every day. Firm, but polite requests I have made to her have fallen upon deaf ears. Speaking to Scott hasn’t helped either, because he doesn’t stand up to her. My husband also hasn’t been able

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips to get through.

He and Scott tell me to accept the gift and throw it away, or give it to another friend. But with addiction, it isn’t that easy. I have resorted to inventing excuses not to see them, but I don’t like feeling this way.

I believe she gives gifts because it makes her feel good, but at what point does my extreme discomfort trump her happiness? What can I do to get her to understand without ruining this relationship? – In A Delicate Situation Dear Delicate: Have you told Scott’s wife you are a recovering alcoholic? If you have, and she persists in gifting you

with liquor when they come over, she is attempting to challenge your recovery. (Could her behavior be the reason your husband’s former wife kept them apart?)

Your husband’s rekindled friendship with Scott would not be ruined if he sees him on a one-to-one basis rather than the four of you socializing as couples.

And if the clueless wife hands you another bottle of booze, that’s what you should insist upon.

Dear Abby: I have been talking to someone I know who is a genuine person, someone who has all the qualities I would want in a lifelong partner. However, I still am in love with my ex.

My ex has moved on but still contacts me, and we do deeply care about each other. I’m afraid if I decide to move forward, I’ll always second-guess whether I did it for the right reasons.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of McHenry County www.bbbsmchenry.org • 815-385-3855

I’m afraid because of my feelings for my ex, I won’t be able to open up to anyone.

I also know we would have many issues to resolve if we ever decided to give it another chance.

I guess I’m afraid to let go and afraid to move forward. What should I do? –

Equally Torn In The West Dear Equally Torn: Move forward as

your ex has. And while you are at it, put more distance between the two of you.

Whether the person you are talking to – who seems to look good on paper – is someone you’ll wind up with is anybody’s guess. So consider taking a break from romance for a while until you get your head straight. You’re not there yet, but with time you will be.

CLASS 6A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP: PRAIRIE RIDGE 48, SACRED HEART-GRIFFIN 17

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED Wolves set rushing records in their 2nd 6A title in 6 years

By JOE STEVENSON

ABOVE: Prairie Ridge quarterback Sampson Evans runs for an 80-yard touchdown in the first quarter against Sacred Heart-Griffin in the Class 6A state championship game Saturday at the University of Illinois’ Memorial Stadium in Champaign. LEFT: Wolves tight end Austen Ferbet scores on a 28-yard Evans pass in the fourth quarter. RIGHT: Prairie Ridge players, including Matthew Grant (14), try to soak coach Chris Schremp at the end of the fourth quarter.

CHAMPAIGN – Nothing was going to stop Prairie Ridge from completing its mission, not even one of the worst starts imaginable in the most important game.

Wolves quarterback Samson Evans fumbled on his first carry. He fumbled again later in the first quarter and Sacred Heart-Griffin defensive back Jack Boll scooped the ball and returned it 66 yards for a touchdown.

A 10-point deficit? No problem.

Evans raced 80 yards on the next play from scrimmage. The defense was solid as a rock against SH-G’s dangerous offense. And by the third quarter, it was evident that the Wolves were going to achieve perfection.

Prairie Ridge rolled up a Class 6A championship game rushing record 544 yards to defeat the Cyclones, 48-17, Saturday for its second title in six years at the University of Illinois’ Memorial Stadium. Evans ran for four touchdowns and a 6A title game-record 274 yards.

Wolves coach Chris Schremp said he brought the team together after the rough start and said it played its worst quarter and were down only three points.

“We just tried to settle them down, tell them we’re OK and we can rattle off 40, 50 points pretty easily,” Schremp said. “The guys believe in our system and it showed again today.”

Evans admitted he was shaken after the fumbles. The first one came on a handoff to fullback Manny Ebirim.

The second was when several defenders had a hold on him and one popped the ball loose.

“That was so much fun to see.”

CHAMPAIGN – Prairie Ridge needed to make something happen.

Quarterback Samson Evans had fumbled twice early in the game. The Wolves trailed Sacred Heart-Griffin by 10 points in the first quarter of the Class 6A state championship game.

The Wolves ran a counter to the right. Evans scampered VIEWS 20, 25 yards Sean – already Hammond a big play – and was looking for more. Ahead of him was junior offensive lineman Jeff Jenkins, and one defender to beat: 160-pound defensive back Joey Milbrandt.

“I saw open field ahead of me,” Jenkins said. “I just remember thinking, ‘As long as I can get this guy, Samson’s going to get out there.’ ” Evans gave his lineman a helping hand.

“I was holding him,” Evans said.

“I was trying to push him, weave my way through.”

Jenkins knocked the Cyclones’ defender flat on his back, and Evans ran free down the sideline to the end zone.

In all, it was an 80-yard touchdown run. Jenkins jumped up and pumped his fist in the air with Milbrandt still lying on the turf.

In a game that featured Evans running for 274 yards and four touchdowns, Jenkins’ block probably won’t go down as the play of the game. But it spurred a sleeping Wolves offense when it needed it most against a program that has won five state championships since 2005.

“That was a big momentum change for us, and our offense was rolling after that,” Jenkins said. “I knew that play was big for us.”

“He’s a phenomenal athlete,” Evans said of the 6-foot-4, 250-pound lineman.

“You put him in space and he can make a block like that with ease. It just helps us out because, with an athlete like him on the line, it opens up so many plays on the outside.”

The Wolves battled back from the early deficit and led 24-17 at halftime, then dominated the third quarter on their way to a 48-17 victory for their second state championship in school history.

For a triple-option offense that has powered its way to a perfect 14-0 season, it only makes sense that the line deserves much of the credit.

Jenkins’ key block spurs PR’s offensive onslaught

Great game today. Hard work always pays off. @CHSD155 @PrairieRidgeHS bringing the trophy home! #D155Inspire – @DrJohnnieThomas

H. Rick Bamman – hbamman@shawmedia.com

Prairie Ridge’s Jacob Ommen (from left), Peter Dunican, Jeff Jenkins, Pete Berg and Justin Mikolajczewski celebrate Berg’s fumble recovery against Sacred Heart-Griffin in the Class 6A state championship game Saturday at the University of Illinois’ Memorial Stadium in Champaign. The Wolves won, 48-17.

“They’ve been constantly getting better every single game,” fullback Manny Ebirim said. “They’re just opening up so many holes and they drive those linemen back and get to the second level. That makes my job and Samson’s job so much easier.”

Ebirim finished his last high school game with 134 rushing yards and a medal around his neck. As a team, the Wolves’ 544 yards set a Class 6A team rushing record. They finish the season averaging 50.1 points a game.

Starting next to Jenkins on the line Saturday were seniors Grant Golata and Garrett Crump, along with juniors Justin Grapenthin and Ben Schultz.

“This was our goal from when we started lifting in December,” Jenkins said. “To get a ring for the seniors and get a ring for us. We just wanted to get here since December.”

This wasn’t a 14-week journey for these players and coaches. It started a year ago, lifting weights and working out in the offseason after a gut-wrenching loss in the 2015 semifinals. For most of the players, it started long before that with the Junior Wolves. Prairie Ridge’s 2011 state championship run served as a blueprint, proof that it can happen here.

“I remember being here in 2011 and thinking about when I’m here, if I ever get here, what it would feel like,” Evans said. “Now being here, it’s just indescribable.”

Jenkins might have said it best: “It’s the best thing I’ve ever experienced in my life.”

CLASS 6A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP: PRAIRIE RIDGE 48, SACRED HEART-GRIFFIN 17

QB counter wildly effective for PR

By JOE STEVENSON

around the end.

“Usually the defense is flowing that way, so we’re able to get a big play out of it,” Jenkins said. “They left some plays open for us to get around. They were flowing so hard to our motion. We were able to sneak out a couple times.”

Not a one-man show: Evans wasn’t the only Prairie Ridge back with more than 100 yards in the state championship victory Saturday. Manny Ebirim finished with 134 rushing yards and Zach Gulbransen ran for 100 yards and a touchdown.

Ebirim, one of five seniors starting on the offense, finished his final season with 1,105 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns.

Although Evans was the leader on the stat sheet (2,144 rushing yards, 42 touchdowns), the Wolves had a diverse

group of backs this season.

“I’ve got to give the credit to the linemen,” Ebirim said. “It feels unreal that we were able to come here and kind of dominate after the first quarter and win a state championship.”

Defense steps up: It was a small victory, but a big confidence boost. After Evans fumbled on the first play from scrimmage, Sacred Heart-Griffin took over at the at the Wolves’ 19-yard line.

The Cyclones went nowhere.

Well, technically they gained one yard. But Prairie Ridge held them on third down and forced a field goal, which Cyclones kicker Colin Boyd nailed from 35 yards. Considering where the Cyclones started the possession, it was a victory for the Wolves’ defense.

“We knew that first drive when we

held them to a field goal, that gave us a lot of confidence going into those next drives,” junior linebacker Joe Perhats said.

Sacred Heart-Griffin scored a couple of touchdowns later in the first half, but the Wolves weren’t fazed. Once Evans and the offense started rolling, the defense stepped up its game, too.

“We had trust in our offense, that they would come back and get out of that slump that they were in, in the first quarter,” Perhats said. “We just had to get stops and get the ball back into our offense’s hands.”

Happy birthday: Prairie Ridge graduate Shane Evans, an offensive lineman at Northern Illinois University, was in the stands to celebrate his 21st birthday. He is the older brother of Samson, and was a guard on the Wolves’ 2011 team, which won the state title on his 16th birthday.

Celebration coming: Prairie Ridge athletic director Mark Gilbert plans on a celebration for the state championship team next weekend.

Got the ball: When Schremp saw the football with Prairie Ridge’s logo embossed on it at the IHSA Selection Show, he wanted it. IHSA assistant executive director Matt Troha said he could have it when he got to Champaign.

As Schremp reached the press box for the postgame news conference, Troha made the handoff with the ball. Daily Herald sports writer Kevin Schmit picked the 6A champion on the show and had the Prairie Ridge ball.

Mr. Touchdown: Tight end Austen Ferbet had been a big-play receiver most of the season, but had caught two passes in four previous playoff games.

Evans found Ferbet for a 28-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter, the Wolves’ last touchdown of the season.

Ferbet, who will play at Army, caught 18 passes for the season, 10 of which were touchdowns.

rial Stadium five years previous when the Wolves defeated Peoria Richwoods, 35-14, for the 6A championship. The 2011 team finished 13-1.

SH-G (13-1) produced an 80-yard scoring drive in the second quarter for a 17-14 lead, but the Wolves came back with a touchdown drive, then capped the half with Derek Greiner’s 32-yard field goal.

The Cyclones, who averaged 50.4 points a game, were limited to 314 total yards by the Wolves’ defense. Junior linebackers Joe Perhats (10 tackles) and Jacob Ommen (eight) led the way.

“The defense, you really got to see what a great group of 11 guys being really good,” Schremp said. “This game showed what a solid team we have.”

Prairie Ridge scored on another Evans touchdown in the third quarter, then added a Zach Gulbransen 6-yard touchdown run for a 38-17 lead.

The Cyclones could not figure out the Wolves’ triple-option as Evans, Ebirim (134) and Gulbransen (100) all topped 100 yards rushing.

“We don’t see anybody who runs it like that,” SH-G coach Ken Leonard said. “It’s tough, those kids have been doing that a long time, they cranked it out. We had a great game plan, but you can’t turn the ball over; you can’t give them short fields. We have to keep the ball away from them a little bit.”

SH-G committed two turnovers on fumbles, and Prairie Ridge kept speedy running backs Tremayne Lee (60

yards) and Brian Adams (52) in check.

Prairie Ridge becomes the second Fox Valley Conference school to win two state football titles. Woodstock won the Class 4A title in 1983 and the Class 5A title in 1997. Cary-Grove has the only other FVC state football championship, winning 6A in 2009.

The Wolves were determined to win it all after coming close last year. They led Montini in the second half of their semifinal game before losing, 35-27.

Montini then defeated Crete-Monee, 38-15, for the championship.

“It’s unbelievable,” said lineman Jeff Jenkins, one of several key players who is a junior. “I can’t believe it’s happening. It’s crazy. I don’t know what to say, words can’t describe it.”

shammond@shawmedia.com CHAMPAIGN – Prairie Ridge coach Chris Schremp called the play his team’s “ace in the hole,” something that was in the playbook, but rarely ran.

The quarterback counter was wildly effective at the most opportune time for the Wolves on Saturday. Time and again they ran it, with quarterback Samson Evans stepping left and faking a handoff, then pivoting right and sprinting behind pulling guard Justin Grapenthin and tackle Jeff Jenkins.

Sacred Heart-Griffin had no answer for it as the Wolves proceeded to rush for a Class 6A football state championship game-record 544 yards in a 48-17 victory Saturday at the University of Illinois’ Memorial Stadium.

By adding that wrinkle into the already-difficult triple-option attack, the Wolves just opened up more avenues to move the ball. The first time they ran it, Evans sprinted 80 yards for a touchdown. He finished with a 6A title game-record 274 yards rushing.

“When we need it, we’ve got it,” Schremp said. “We ran it a couple times (in the second round) against Montini.”

Evans said the key to the counter’s success is his patience in waiting to see what Grapenthin and Jenkins do.

“In practice, I rush it and coaches tell me to stay patient,” he said. “Jeff and Grape create the blocks and help me out.”

When pressed as to whether the play was called by Schremp and offensive coordinator Joe Terhaar made the call or Evans himself made it, Evans smiled.

“That’s a good question,” he said. “I don’t think I should be answering that.”

The play allows Jenkins and Grapenthin to show their ability to run

Continued from page 2 The 80-yard touchdown, which came on a quarterback counter as Evans faked a handoff left, then turned back right and followed guard Justin Grapenthin and tackle Jeff Jenkins, lifted his spirits.

“It gave me confidence going into the next drive because I don’t know what was going through my head,” Evans said. “I knew if we just kept executing, the O-line was going to do the job and keep plugging away that we could really do something special.”

BOYS BASKETBALL: GENEVA 59, McHENRY 52

By TIM SIECK

OUTSIDE THE BOX SCORE q UNSUNG HERO

Maki Mohr McHenry, jr., F

Mohr hit a 3-pointer in the first quarter to give McHenry the lead, and also hit two fourth-quarter free throws to help extend the Warriors’ lead to four points.

The junior finished with eight points.

q THE NUMBER

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

McHenry will get to practice for a full week with most of its lineup back. Matthew Mohr returned to the Warriors midweek and jumped right into game action after missing the first few weeks of practice recovering from a football injury.

CRYSTAL LAKE – Saturday’s game against Geneva was a microcosm of the McHenry boys basketball season to date. Battle against a tough opponent for most of the 32 minutes, but come up just short in the end.

“We really need to do a better job of executing late in the game,” McHenry coach Tim Paddock said. “We lost three close games this week against good teams, and they all did a better job of executing at the end. We are finally getting healthy, and a week of practice will help a lot with our timing. There is a lot of time left in the season and we will be fine.”

In what was a one- or two-score game most of the afternoon, it was Geneva that forced late turnovers and sealed the game from the foul line as the Vikings defeated McHenry, 59-52, in the

final day of play in the Crystal Lake Central Thanksgiving Tournament.

It was evident early that the game would be close throughout. In the first half, neither team had more than a four-point lead, and while Geneva (40) turned over the ball only twice in the first half compared with five for McHenry, it was the Warriors who won the rebounding edge, 13-7.

McHenry (1-3) relied on the shooting of junior Gavin Markgraff, who had 21 points in the first three quarters, including four 3-pointers, to hold a one-point advantage heading into the fourth quarter.

“We have kept it close in three games against some top-caliber teams, we just need to do a better job of executing,” Markgraff said. “They did a nice job of denying me shots in the fourth quarter, so I really wanted to get my teammates involved.”

The Warriors took their largest lead

WRESTLING: MOORE/PERRYMAN WRESTLING INVITATIONAL

By TIM FROEHLIG

sports@nwherald.com BARRINGTON – Prairie Ridge didn’t have an individual finish higher than seventh place on the final day of the 26th annual Moore/Perryman Wrestling Invitational on Saturday at Barrington High School.

The tournament featured 27 schools from the Chicago area, and although the Wolves struggled to collectively tally points as a team, individually what some of their wrestlers said after their matches painted a picture of a program that’s on the rise.

Moments after beating Stevenson’s Brandon Zisman in the seventh-place match at 138 pounds with an 8-2 decision, Wolves sophomore Trey Piotrowski was raving about the techniques of first-year coach Eric Hunt.

“One of the biggest differences this year is coach Hunt has us doing a lot more warmups before matches,” Piotrowski said. “He has us working on specific drills, whereas last year, I think we were going into matches cold too often. It’s made a huge difference.”

Hunt said he does so by design, and has noticed a difference, as well.

“Sometimes, especially at long twoday events like these, you see kids standing around before matches not

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

Koeppel was a sectional qualifier in 2016, but has his eyes on bigger things this season.

“Making it to state is definitely my No. 1 goal right now, and with enough hard work, I think that’s a realistic possibility. I’m wrestling with a lot of confidence.” doing a whole lot,” Hunt said. “That can become counterproductive. It can be easy to get bored, or lose focus with so many matches taking place and so many distractions.

“My years of being an assistant coach have taught me kids usually perform their best when they get the blood flowing and their muscles loose a lit-

tle right before it’s their turn.”

He also has been encouraged by what he calls a “total team effort.”

“There are so many kids here from our team that weren’t even scheduled to wrestle today that came out to support their teammates,” Hunt said.

“That’s huge. They didn’t have to be here, but they all got up at the crack of dawn at 6 or 6:15, and here it is, almost 6 in the evening, and they’re still going strong showing their support.”

It’s something Wolves junior Nick Fetzner noticed during his seventh-place match at 170 pounds, before he pinned Wheaton North’s Conner Cleveland midway through the second period.

“Even with hundreds of people in the stands, I could hear my teammates screaming and encouraging me during my match,” Fetzner said. “When you have to wrestle multiple matches the same day, or are tired near the end of an event, those are the types of little things that can make all the difference in the world.”

Marmion Academy (218.5 points) finished first, while Barrington (182), Lyons (174.5), Wheaton North (171) and Stevenson (162.5) rounded out the top five. Cary-Grove (50 points) finished 22nd overall, a notch ahead of Prairie Ridge (49 points), which finished 23rd.

of the game early in the fourth at four points after a steal and layup by James Mulhall, but as it did all game, Geneva countered with an answer. The Vikings took the lead back a few minutes after and McHenry played catchup the last two minutes. Leading by three with 15 seconds remaining, Geneva sealed the game on a five-second call with McHenry trying to inbound the ball.

The Warriors were led by Markraff with 22 points, Colton Klein added 12 points and Matthew and Maki Mohr each scored eight points.

“Geneva was a really good team that played well on offense and defense,” Klein said. “Turnovers that late in the game can’t happen, and we really need to execute better. Getting everyone back and being able to practice for a week will really help us.”

McHenry finished the tournament with a 1-3 record, while Geneva finished 4-0.

8 TITANS AT BEARS, NOON SUNDAY, CBS, AM-780, 105.9-FM

Bears must generate takeaways to upset Titans

Anyone believing the Bears need not bother showing up to take on the Tennessee Titans on Sunday needs to think twice.

Sure, the Bears are 4½-point underdogs at home to the Titans, and the smart money is on Tennessee, but it was just four weeks ago that the Vikings came to town in another game the Bears had “no chance” in, and you know what happened there.

No, Jay Cutler won’t be riding in off the injury list to the rescue this Marcus time, but did Tampa Mariota have a chance going to Kansas City last week?

The Titans are a better team than anyone expected them to be at this point in the season, but they still are just 5-6.

A great deal of the Titans’ improvement is consistent with the growth of Marcus Mariota at quarterback. He will come to town with a 100.4 passer rating, 64.2 completion percentage, 23 touchdowns against only eight interceptions and averaging 252 passing yards a game.

Mariota possesses only one obvious wart. He has 17 fumbles in 21 NFL games, including seven this year (the Titans have lost four), and when he throws an interception, it most often is costly.

He’s had five turnovers this season returned for touchdowns, two more than any other quarterback (Andrew Luck and Case Keenum each has

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush three), and they have been the losing margin in the three games they’ve occurred in against the Vikings, Colts and Chargers.

Mariota’s been sacked 18 times, and most of his big mistakes have come as a result of pressure.

The Bears are 12th in the league in quarterback sack percentage, but are tied with Indianapolis for the second-fewest takeaways with eight, just one more than the Jaguars, who are dead last.

The No. 1 key to a Bears victory Sunday is to have their best pass rush of the season and create a few takeaways.

Second has to be finding a way to slow DeMarco Murray, who is second in the NFL with 1,000 rushing yards and eight TDs, in addition to 40 catches for three more scores.

His renaissance is mainly because of the outstanding play of rookie right tackle Jack Conklin, who would be a solid Rookie of the Year candidate in another season that didn’t feature Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott, and second-year left tackle Taylor Lewan.

The downside on offense for the Titans is they are extremely pedestrian at receiver, relying mainly on tight end Delanie Walker – who can be a matchup nightmare for smaller defensive backs – and Rishard Matthews,

Tajae Sharpe and Kendall Wright.

None requires special treatment or double coverage, so the Bears likely will put an extra man in the box to help rookie linebacker Nick Kwiatkoski, who will try to fill the shoes of their best run defender, the suspended Jerrell Freeman.

On defense, Tennessee is only 19th in total yards, 23rd in points allowed and 24th against the pass, but the Titans are eighth rushing the passer and a seventh against the run, and therein lies the rub.

QB Matt Barkley is unlikely to come out and torch the Titans through the air, especially without WRs Alshon Jeffery and Kevin White and TE Zach Miller to throw to, and the Bears are only 18th protecting the quarterback.

The third key to victory for the Bears is somehow they have to have RBs Jordan Howard and Jeremy Langford and the offensive line take over this game.

The Titans the Bears must identify to make that happen are DL Jurrell Casey, who might be the most underrated defender in the league, ILB Wesley Woodyard, CB Jason McCourty and pass rush specialists Brian Orakpo and Derrick Morgan.

Stop the run, run the ball well themselves and force Mariota into a game-changing mistake.

It’s a long shot, but stranger things have happened.

the trenches against a good offensive line, especially at tackle (Taylor Lewan and Jack Conklin). If nose tackle Eddie Goldman is back from an ankle injury that flared up late in the loss to Tampa Bay, that will be a huge help, and the KEY MATCHUP TO WATCH defense could get defensive Bears’ front seven vs. Titans RB DeMarco end Mitch Unrein back, too, Murray: Murray is the engine that makes the allowing for more rotation Titans’ offense go, the “exotic smashmouth” on the defensive line. The best player the Bears have offense that coach Mike Mularkey has installed. Murray has 1,000 rushing yards, go- to contend with Murray is Eddie Royal ing for 4.7 yards a pop and eight touchdowns. inside linebacker Danny He is a physical, downhill runner who on one Trevathan, who was outstanding against the Giants’ run game last week. The defensive cut can break a run to daylight. Arm tackles won’t work on Murray, and it’s going to be a line needs to create lanes for Trevathan, so he can shoot the gap and make the play. The collective effort by the Bears’ front seven to contain him. It starts with winning battles in pressure on Trevathan increases this week,

and the three next games, with his ILB mate Jerrell Freeman suspended. Rookie Nick Kwiatkoski will get the start and have to prove his worth against Murray. The Bears have to limit Murray on first down to put quarterback Marcus Mariota in uncomfortable situations on third down.

X-FACTOR WR Eddie Royal: We’re not expecting much from a Bears passing game with Matt Barkley at quarterback and with receiver Alshon Jeffery suspended and tight end Zach Miller injured. However, Barkley is going to have to throw it a bit, and Royal might be his best opportunity to be productive. The veteran slot receiver can get open in the middle of the field or create plays on quick screens.

Royal has only three catches combined in his past two games after averaging nearly five a game in the first six contests of the season.

The veteran on offense will need to step up to help Barkley and the passing game.

STAT TO KEEP IN MIND The Titans have the best red-zone offense in the league, scoring touchdowns on 75 percent of their red-zone drives. Their defense, however, is giving up 25.0 points a game, 23rd in the NFL. FISHBAIN’S PICK Titans 26, Bears 12

BLACKHAWKS AT KINGS (LATE)

Center following fellow Swede’s lead to success

Blackhawks right wing Patrick Kane (left) celebrates with teammate Artemi Panarin after scoring a first-periold goal against the Kings on Saturday night in Los Angeles. ing camp as a long shot to even make the team, Rasmussen has forced his way into a much larger role this season. Since entering the lineup in the third game of the season, he’s been scratched only once. He’s averaging nearly 12 minutes of ice time a game, up from just nine last season, and that largely is because he has become one of the Hawks’ top penalty-killers.

Among Hawks forwards, only Kruger has seen more shorthanded ice

time, and the two usually are paired together on the PK rotation. After a historically bad start to the season on the kill, Rasmussen has helped stabilize the Hawks’ penalty kill, all while entrenching himself as a fixture in the Hawks’ lineup.

There are all sorts of technical concerns on the penalty kill – “controlled pressure,” Rasmussen calls it – and Rasmussen has been relentlessly picking the brains of Kruger and

BLACKHAWKS NOTES

Hawks trying to make up for Toews’ absence

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com LOS ANGELES – Jonathan Toews was out of the lineup for the second straight game Saturday night as he nursed an upper-body injury. Coach Joel Quenneville couldn’t say for sure whether the Blackhawks’ captain would be ready to go for Tuesday’s home game against the Florida Panthers.

Patrick Kane said Toews’ absence puts more weight on the Hawks’ other big-name players to try to fill the void.

“I think there’s a little bit more, I don’t want to say pressure, but importance on the way you play every shift,”

said Kane, who had a goal and an assist Friday in Anaheim. “So whether it’s myself or anyone on the team, it’s a tough player to lose.”

Killer start: The Hawks have allowed only six goals on the past 42 opposing power plays, a stretch that dates to Oct. 28. That’s a kill rate of more than 85 Jonathan percent, which would Toews put them in the top 10 in the league.

Yet the Hawks still are dead last in the league on the penalty kill, and by a wide margin. They entered Satur-

day’s late game at 69.6 percent, nearly six points behind 29th-place Calgary.

Their horrendous start – during which they allowed 15 goals on 27 power plays – surely will keep them at or near the bottom of the league no matter what happens the rest of the season.

Penalty-killers are inveterate standings-watchers by nature, always keeping an eye on their league rank. So the Hawks are writing off the early woes as a fluke, and trying to imagine the first two weeks of the season never happened.

“We have to look forward,” Marcus Kruger said. “And maybe we have to look back, too, but not all the way back.

The first 10 games weren’t good, but I think the second 10 games were a little bit better. And, hopefully, we can grow and be even better here in the third part, too. That’s something we’re going to need. We were lucky early in the year. We still got away with wins even though the PK was struggling. We can’t do that much about [the rankings] now.

We can just look forward.”

Injury report: Jordin Tootoo also missed the Kings game. He left Friday’s game in the second period with a lower-body injury, apparently from a blocked shot. Quenneville said Tootoo was “day to day.” Andrew Desjardins returned to the lineup in his place.

LOS ANGELES – No kid grows up dreaming of becoming Marcus Kruger.

Everyone wants to be the superstar, the guy who scores 40 goals, who makes all the highlight reels and goes down as an all-time great. There’s little glory and even less glamour in being the guy who hurls himself in front of flying pucks, who kills penalties, who starts the overwhelming majority of his shifts in the defensive zone.

But Dennis Rasmussen is well aware of how big a role Kruger has played in the Blackhawks’ success. And although he’s only 37 days younger than his fellow Swede, the late-bloomer Rasmussen knows his path to long-term NHL success and stability is carving out a Kruger-like niche for himself.

“Those guys are important,” Rasmussen said. “You see Krugs, he’s won two Stanley Cups and he’s been out on the ice (in the final minute) when they won it, both times. He’s been on the ice at the end of big games when they’re trying to protect a lead. And that’s what you want to be. You want to be on the ice when everything happens and it’s all on the line. It’s great.”

After spending 44 games with the Hawks last season as mostly a fourthline afterthought, and entering train-

Niklas Hjalmarsson, along with assistant coach Mike Kitchen, to learn all the nuances of the Hawks’ scheme, and the tendencies of their opponents.

But more than anything, Kruger has noticed the way Rasmussen has embraced what can be an inglorious – but invaluable – role.

“It’s not (glamorous),” Kruger said.

“But you have to really take pride in it.

He’s doing a great job of that, and he’s curious all the time, asking questions and stuff like that. He’s been adapting very quickly.”

Perhaps on another team, in another role, Rasmussen could be a more offensive player. He twice scored 16 goals in short Swedish league seasons, and had 13 tallies in his first season at Rockford. In 63 career NHL games entering Saturday night’s game in Los Angeles, he had only five goals, including one this season. But he has size and skill, as he showed with his acrobatic effort Friday afternoon in Anaheim to get the puck into the slot, which led directly to a Ryan Hartman goal.

Of course, Rasmussen didn’t even get an assist on the play, because it touched the stick of Anaheim’s Shea Theodore for a brief moment before Kruger hacked it back to Hartman. But Rasmussen’s used to that. Glory isn’t in the job description. Only winning is.

“I’m trying to do my role as good as possible every game,” Rasmussen said.

“Of course, I want to help the team on offense, too, and take my chances when I get them. But I’ve been mostly a defensive guy here, a lot of defensive-zone draws and penalty-killing. That’s my role here, and I like that role. Every team needs guys like that.”

SPORTS BRIEFS

Notre Dame’s Kelly says he’ll ‘absolutely’ be back next year

LOS ANGELES – Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly is confident he will be back next year after the Fighting Irish wrapped up a disappointing season with a blowout loss Saturday at Southern California.

Kelly won at least eight games in each of his first six seasons, but the Irish finished 4-8 this season, culminating in a 45-27 loss to the No. 12 Trojans.

Kelly scrapped his usual late-November itinerary of recruiting in California after facing the Trojans to return to South Bend, but said it’s not related to Notre Dame’s struggles.

“I don’t believe I’m coming back early because I’m getting fired,” Kelly said.

Asked if he wanted to coach Notre Dame next season, Kelly said, “Oh yeah, absolutely. I’ll be back.”

16-21 record in three seasons. Strong had two years remaining on a guaranteed contract that pays more than $5 million a year, but was the first coach in Texas history with three consecutive losing seasons.

Reports that he would be fired swirled after a late-season loss to lowly Kansas, and school officials made it official after Friday’s 31-9 loss to TCU meant Texas would finish 5-7 without a bowl game for the second straight year.

“Charlie Strong is an outstanding leader and role model who worked hard with great integrity to move Longhorn football in the right direction,” university President Greg Fenves said in a statement Saturday.

“In the end, the results over three seasons were not there. It was not clear the future was going to be at the levels expected of Longhorn football.”

Texas moved quickly to replace him.

Hours after firing Strong, Texas announced it had hired Houston’s Tom Herman to take over. Herman was 22-4 in his only two seasons with the Cougars, his first job as a college head coach.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL: TOP 25 ROUNDUP

OSU beats Michigan in 2OT Wildcats run over Illini

By JOHN JACKSON

The Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Curtis Samuel swept in for a 15-yard touchdown after Ohio State barely converted a fourthand-1, and the second-ranked Buckeyes beat No. 3 Michigan, 30-27, in double overtime Saturday.

With Ohio State (11-1, 8-1 Big Ten, No. 2 CFP) facing fourth-and-1 from the 16, coach Urban Meyer decided not to kick a potential tying field goal with a kicker who already had missed two short ones in regulation.

J.T. Barrett kept it on fourth down and slammed into the back of his blocker, A.J. Alexander, right at the line to gain. The first-down call stood up to video review. On the next play, Samuel, who had made a swerving, change-of-direction run to set up the fourth-and-1, raced into the end zone to win it.

The first matchup to go to overtime in the 113-game history of the rivalry likely eliminated Michigan (10-2, 7-2, No. 3 CFP) from the playoff race and could have locked up a spot for the Buckeyes. The Buckeyes missed out on a spot in the Big Ten title game, with Penn State heading to Indianapolis instead to face Wisconsin.

Michigan could end up in the Rose Bowl, but the biggest prizes still are eluding the Wolverines in their second year under coach Jim Harbaugh. He’s 0-2 against Meyer and the Buckeyes.

No. 1 Alabama 30, No. 16 Auburn 12: At Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Jalen Hurts rebounded from two early interceptions to pass for 286 yards and Alabama’s defense did the rest against Auburn.

The Crimson Tide (12-0, 8-0 Southeastern Conference, No. 1 CFP) led 13-9 at halftime, dominating the stat sheet but only taking over the scoreboard in the second half. The defense pushed its string of quarters without allowing a touchdown to 14-plus.

Auburn (8-4, 5-3, No. 15) failed to muster much offense for the second straight SEC game, this time playing without injured quarterback Sean White.

No. 4 Clemson 56, South Carolina 7: At Clemson, South Carolina, Deshaun Watson tied his career high with six touchdown passes, three to Mike Williams, and Clemson took another, strong step to the College Football Playoff.

If the Tigers (11-1, No. 4 CFP) don’t stumble against Virginia Tech next week in the Atlantic Coast Conference championship, they’ll be off to college football’s final four for a second straight season. The Gamecocks (6-6) were little more than a speed bump on that road that Clemson got past quickly, jumping out to a 21-0 lead in the opening quarter and cruising to a third straight win in the Palmetto State’s biggest sporting event.

Ohio State players and fans celebrate their win over Michigan on Saturday in Columbus, Ohio. Ohio State beat Michigan, 30-27, in double overtime.

No. 5 Wisconsin 31, Minnesota 17: At Madison, Wisconsin, Corey Clement ran for two fourth-quarter TDs, a bigplay defense pitched a second-half shutout, and Wisconsin beat Minnesota (8-4, 5-4) for its 13th straight win in the annual border rivalry.

The Badgers triumphantly lifted Paul Bunyan’s Axe again, the trophy that goes to the victor in the mostplayed rivalry in major college football.

Wisconsin (10-3, 7-2 Big Ten, No. 6 CFP) turned in a stalwart defensive effort in the second half after getting outplayed in the first and falling behind by 10 points at halftime.

No. 8 Penn St. 45, Michigan St. 12: At State College, Pennsylvania, Trace McSorley completed 17 of 23 passes for 376 yards and four touchdowns and Penn State beat Michigan State to win the Big Ten East.

Penn State (10-2, 8-1 Big Ten, No. 7 CFP) edged No. 2 Ohio State for the East title, setting up a conference championship game against West winner Wisconsin next week in Indianapolis. The Nittany Lions beat Ohio State, 24-20, at home Oct. 22.

McSorley set a single-season school record for total offense and sparked the Nittany Lions with multiple deep passes in the second half when Penn State outscored Michigan State 35-0.

Michael Geiger kicked four field goals for the Spartans (3-9, 1-8).

No. 9 Colorado 27, No. 21 Utah 22: At Boulder, Colorado, ninth-ranked Colorado won the Pac-12 South title with a victory over Utah thanks to a senior-laden defense that forced two huge fumbles

by Utes star running back Joe Williams.

Cornerback Chidobe Awuzie also had a touchdown-saving tackle after a 93-yard kickoff return. The Buffaloes

(11-2, 8-1, No. 9 CFP) will face No. 6 Washington in the conference championship next weekend.

The Utes (8-4, 5-4) pulled to 27-22 on Demari Simpkins’ 7-yard TD catch with 1:34 remaining.

Kentucky 41, No. 11 Louisville 38: at Louisville, Kentucky, Austin MacGinnis made a 47-yard field goal with 12 seconds left to give Kentucky the upset victory over Louisville and Heisman Trophy favorite Lamar Jackson.

Louisville (9-3, CFP No. 11) appeared headed for a late go-ahead score when Jackson’s fumble at Kentucky’s 10 was recovered by the Wildcats’ Courtney Love with 1:45 left. Stephen Johnson led Kentucky (7-5) into position for MacGinnis’ winning kick.

No. 12 USC 45, Notre Dame 27: At Los Angeles, Adoree Jackson returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns and also caught a scoring pass to help lift Southern California (9-3, No. 12 CFP) to its eighth consecutive victory, a romp over Notre Dame (4-8) in the 88th edition of their famed intersectional rivalry.

No. 15 Florida St. 31, No. 13 Florida:

At Tallahassee, Florida, Dalvin Cook rushed for 153 yards and a touchdown, and Florida State (9-3, No. 14 CFP) beat Florida (8-3, No. 15 CFP) for the fourth straight year.

No. 19 West Virginia 49, Iowa St. 19: At Ames, Iowa, Skyler Howard threw for 330 yards and tied a career high with five touchdowns, and West Virginia (92, 6-2 Big 12) rolled past Iowa State (3-9, 2-7).

Vanderbilt 45, No. 24 Tennessee 34: At Nashville, Tennessee, Kyle Shurmur threw for a career-high 416 yards, and Vanderbilt (6-6, 3-5 SEC) scored the final 21 points in an upset victory over Tennessee (8-4, 4-4).

EVANSTON – Justin Jackson ran his way into the Northwestern record books in only three seasons and could finish his career as the school’s all-time leading rusher.

Still, he is content now to share the running back position with emerging newcomer John Moten.

Jackson rushed for 173 yards and three touchdowns, Moten added 128 yards and two touchdowns and Northwestern became bowl eligible with a 42-21 victory over Illinois on Saturday.

“It’s cool,” Jackson said. “I think John’s come a long way. He’s obviously shown the player he can be. It’s pretty exciting.”

Clayton Thorson completed 13 of 20 passes for 121 yards and a touchdown as the Wildcats improved to 6-6 and 5-4 in the Big Ten. “I’m excited that I get one more opportunity to be with them on the field in a game,” Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald said.

Wes Lunt completed 28 of 54 passes for 377 yards and two touchdowns (with one interception) for Illinois (39, 2-7), which closed out its first season under coach Lovie Smith with three straight losses.

“We have an idea of what we need to do and what direction we need to go in all areas,” Smith said. “This is the start. You don’t like to be in this situation, but that’s normally how it happens.”

After trailing 21-0, Illinois rallied for two touchdowns to pull within 21-14 at halftime and appeared headed for a game-tying score on its first possession of the second half when things fell apart.

First, running back Reggie Corbin fumbled at the 8-yard line and safety Godwin Igwebuike recovered to give the ball – and momentum – back to Northwestern.

Two plays later, Illinois safety Stanley Green was ejected after a targeting penalty for a hit on receiver Flynn Nagel. The 15-yard penalty (on top of the 10-yard completion) advanced the ball to the NU 46. Jackson then broke a 54yard scoring run to make it 28-14 with 9:24 remaining in the third quarter.

The Black Thursday takeover Everything was going as I had planned. I positioned the annoying relatives at the far end of the table by bribing small children with candy, having them make cute place cards directing where everyone was to sit. Sensing my wife was just about to announce Thanksgiving dinner was ready, I distracted her momentarily by throwing a large green olive at her. (Yes, it was pitted. I’m no savage.) Then I made a beeline into the dining room. I took up my seat before the others got in there and repositioned the turkey, stuffing and cranberries closer to me.

The smell of turkey roasting attracts relatives like sub-zero outdoor stadium weather attracts shirtless Packers fans, and the room filled up in a matter of seconds. Aunts, uncles, grandparents, brothers, sisters, cousins and some guy I had never seen before filed in. As they were taking their seats, I plated the choicest pieces of white meat, a steaming spoonful of stuffing and four slices of the canned cranberry. Argh! I had forgotten the gravy!

“Grandma,” I asked in my sweetest grandson voice, “Could you please pass the gravy?”

She had her oversized iPhone a few inches from her face. She held up one finger. “I’m waiting for my Target app to load.”

Grandmothers and apps taking preference over grandsons and gravy? There used to be a time when my grandmother would drop everything to pass the gravy and, as a bonus, a sweater she knitted for me during the dinner.

But now the gravy was at the far end of table and in my brother-in-law Gary’s hands. He doused his turkey with four ladles’ worth, licked his fingers and then heaped three more ladlefuls on before he passed it further away. By the time the bowl got to me, my 5-year-old niece had dropped the ladle completely into what little gravy was left. She passed me

the bowl with her tiny hands and gave me a “two front teeth missing” smile. I forced a smile back, wondering how she not only escaped from the kids’ table, but ended up next to me.

Just as the eating was about to start, my elderly Aunt Winifred stomped her cane on the ground and reminded us (as she has done every year), that “Thanks” was in order and chastised us for being carnivorous mongrels. We all bowed our heads. Before I shut my eyes, I caught a glimpse of the heaping piles of food on everyone’s plates (especially the disproportionate extra gravy that was spilling over Gary’s). No sooner had God been thanked for granting us the compassion to think first of others, when the fourth Thursday congregation commenced to shoveling their respective gifts into their carnivorous mongrel mouths. “Amen” at Thanksgiving is like the puck dropping at a Hawks game.

I watched both of my uncles, sitting next to each other, fill their faces like Coney Island hot dog finalists. On the other side of the table, relatives exchanged dinner rolls for sweet potatoes and bargained Brussels sprouts for acorn squash with the swift precision of day traders at The Merc. Then, exactly 14 minutes into the feast, my Great Aunt Gertrude’s phone alarm sounded. She opened her purse, which was lined with Ziploc bags, and started scraping her uneaten dinner into it. Seconds later, another aunt’s alarm chimed. Then “Money Talks” started playing on my grandmother’s phone. She wiped her mouth, grabbed her purse and stood up.

“Where are you going, Grandma?” I asked. “We just started eating.”

“Stores open in one hour. I want to be first in line!”

“Black Friday is tomorrow. There are no stores open today. It’s Thanksgiving,” I said.

“Oh, sweetie, Black Friday is so 2000-late! Black Thursday is where it’s at

Home&GardenTip Time for security update

Today’s best security systems come with smart home technology and a mobile app, which allows you to remotely control your system as well as other devices, such as locks, lights, video cameras and even your thermostat. Smart features: One of the biggest challenges with traditional security systems is forgetting

to arm the system. Once you leave home, you have no way to control it. Thanks to smartphone apps, that’s all changed. You can arm a modern security system with a tap on the screen of your smartphone, whether you are upstairs in bed tucked in for the night or hundreds of miles away on vacation.

Real-time news: An older

these days! Try to keep up.” She turned to everyone at the table. “Thank you for a wonderful time, but I have deals to grab!”

“Deals? What could be so important to leave Thanksgiving dinner and family?”

I pleaded.

“Let’s just say a little bird told me about a 99-inch flat-screen for $99!” She had her coat on and was halfway around the table.

“That’s like a dollar an inch!” my Uncle Stan said, grabbing his ’85 Bears hat and shooting out of his chair.

“You can take your spot in line behind me, Aggie!” my grandmother’s sister said, knocking over a chair directly into my grandmother’s path.

My grandmother, with her two titanium artificial knees and a brand new pair of Easy Spirits, laughed, then leapt Michael Jordan, tomahawk dunk-style, over the chair, over her sister and landed at the front door. “That Sonzio’s mine, Gertie!”

“A Sonzio!” my two speed-eating uncles said in unison, then gave each other a hard shove and bolted away from the table.

All of the relatives were in the hallway, pushing each other and jockeying for position to get out of the house. The door slammed shut, rattling the windows, and they were gone. The house was eerily quiet. It was just the guy I had never seen before and me at the table.

“Who are you?” I asked, thinking nothing could get worse than materialism and greed defeating Thanksgiving.

“I’m Jerry – your wife’s cousin’s second husband!” he said. “How about topping off my Glenlivet, cuz-in-law? I just love Scotch and pumpkin pie!”

system would only alert you when an alarm was set off. Today’s systems can alert you to a range of events via your smartphone.

Upgraded protection: Older phone and cable-based security systems are easy to defeat because a burglar can cut the wires outside the home. The best modern systems use a wireless cellular connection to communi-

cate.

Other emergencies: Tied into modern security systems is the ability to detect other emergencies in your home, such as a smoke or a carbon monoxide leak.

These systems also are capable of alerting you when a water pipe bursts, so you can take action.

Conscious Cup specialty coffee benefits Special Olympics Illinois

By LINDSAY WEBER

editorial@nwherald.com CRYSTAL LAKE – When Michael Shipley and his parents, Jack and Roseanna, opened Conscious Cup of Crystal Lake nearly 11 years ago, it wasn’t just about great drinks and beautiful lattes. It was about community.

Shipley said they wanted to create a space for people to come together and talk, share ideas, create memories and give back to the community they have come to regard as family.

“How do we tell people who we are? We say yes to as many donations as we can, and we develop healthy, strong, amiable relationships with the community,” Shipley said. “And we can do more than just donate. We have opportunities to do something we can build on.”

Conscious Cup is partnering with Special Olympics Illinois to offer a special coffee blend called the Big Dreams Blend to be sold from Nov. 28 through Dec. 12 at the Crystal Lake location, as well as their Barrington shop, Cook Street Coffee. Bags also will be available to buy on the Special Olympics Illinois website indefinitely. The 12-ounce bags of what is described as an “approachable, balanced blend” will be sold for $15 each, with a portion of the proceeds going to Special Olympics Illinois.

“We hope to use the promotion as a vehicle to drive awareness for Special Olympics Illinois,” SOILL Manager of Communications Alexandra McMillin said. “We’re really excited to partner with Conscious Cup. It’s a very unique fundraiser.”

The bags will feature an SOILL athlete as well as their personal story on the back.

First in rotation to be featured is Crystal Lake Special Olympian Brent Kampert. The 30-year-old had little hope of being able to walk and talk when he was a child, but he said that didn’t stop him from having big dreams. He said through his family, prayer and support system, he has been able to come a long way.

Kampert started his Special Olympics journey when he was 12 years old, competing in basketball, volleyball and track and field.

“My family wanted me to try something out, and I wanted to get out there too,” Kampert said. “I was watching Michael Jordan play basketball on TV and the way he would go to the hoop, I was like ‘wow.’ I’ve

Conscious Cup shift manager Lauren Barajas stocks bags of the special edition coffee Big Dreams Blend. The Crystal Lake shop created the specialty blend for Special Olympics Illinois, and proceeds from each bag sold will benefit local athletes. The coffee will be sold through Dec. 12.

In the 2014 Special Olympics USA Games in New Jersey, Kampert took home a silver medal in the 100-meter run out of 3,500 competitors. In 2016, Kampert took the gold in the 100-meter run and running long jump at the state competition level.

Kampert is excited to be the first athlete featured on the Big Dreams Blend.

“Of course I got really excited.

Who wouldn’t, though?” Kampert said. “You may be known as a person with a disability, but when you get out there and compete, you’re showing people you don’t think of yourself that way. You’re showing people that you’re more capable of doing any-

thing you put your mind to.”

From 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Dec. 8, Conscious Cup will host a Suburban Young Professionals Board Ugly Sweater Party along with Crystal Lake Brewing Co. and Independent Spirits to benefit SOILL. The party will include dueling pianos, a silent auction, raffle, coffee tasting and an ugly sweater contest. Tickets are $20 and include beer, wine and food.

Kampert will give a speech at the fundraiser. The 2005 Crystal Lake Central graduate said he is proud to compete for the Crystal Lake community.

“Crystal Lake has done so much for me. It’s important to connect with the community and help one another out,” Kampert said. “Whether you

You can’t go wrong with gifts of chocolate

By LEANNE ITALIE

NWHerald.com • Sunday, November 27, 2016

The Associated Press NEW YORK – For housewarming, hostess or the holidays, really, can you go wrong with chocolate?

Gifty chocolate treats are an easy thing to track down in advance, throw in a shopping cart while on the go or seek out last minute on your way to the festivities. And if you don’t hit on just the right kind or combination, they’re easy for your recipient to regift. Presentation, after all, is everything.

Some ideas with suggested retail prices:

Kitchen essentials

For cooks

• The Wusthof classic 8-inch Uber Cook’s Knife can be used to chop, slice, dice and mince everything. This essential, multi-purpose knife is a workhorse in the kitchen. The knife takes the traditional features of an 8-inch chef’s knife and adds a bigger “belly” to create a smoother motion for all chopping, mincing and dicing tasks. I like to think of the knife as a mash-up of the popular Santoku knife and a classic chef’s knife. $139.99, www.wusthof.com • I had heard the Breville toaster oven was so good it could rival my wall oven, but I didn’t believe it until I tested the new Smart Oven Pro. I made a roast, a chicken, banana bread and cookies as well as toast and they all came out as good if not better than in my oven. It also re-heated pizza to perfection. If you don’t have the counter space for the Pro, get the Smart Oven mini, which puts other small models to shame. $269.99, www.brevilleusa.com/thesmart-oven-pro.html

It’s About the Grind: Fancy automatic coffee grinders can make the taste and are abundant, but they can be pricey. Treat your java lover but do your research.

Not looking to break your bank and got a DIY-er? Go for a manual grinder. There are plenty, including the Hario Skerton Ceramic Coffee Grinder available at Williams-Sonoma.com for $49.95. It promises burrs that easily adjust to produce a range of grind sizes, from super fine espresso to coarse for French press brewing. And it looks cool.

Addiction a thief who gives nothing in return Alcoholism, drug addiction, or for that matter, any addiction takes away and it gives. It takes away things we want, then things we need. It gives us things we didn’t want, and then things we wish we didn’t have.

Addiction takes away joy from families, and it offers sadness, uncertainty and fear. It takes happiness away from children, and it holds out shame and hopelessness.

Addiction doesn’t take it all away at once; it’s smarter than that. In the beginning, it offers a short-term sense of relief, a respite from the struggles of life, and it appears to ask nothing in return. But nothing is free, and before long it starts to take things a little at a time.

Addiction might take a little impulse control – not too much at first so nothing too damaging happens – but then when you’re least expecting it, the price goes up and you’re stuck.

It requires all your control, leaving none for you and, unexpectedly, you lose your temper or drive the car drunk with your kid in the carseat or flirt with your boss’s spouse.

“Oops,” you say, “that’ll never happen again.” But addiction smiles because it knows it’s making the decisions now, not you.

Then addiction starts requiring you to hide and cover for it. Now addiction has required your honesty and with it a portion of your dignity and self-respect. “It’s just our little

secret,” it tells you. “What would life be like without me?” It gives you a secret life, a secret friend. It gives you shame.

Addiction really has your attention now, leaving less and less for other people. It steals your motivation and gives you anxiety; it takes your dreams for the future and gives you sleepless nights.

Addiction used to ask quietly, then it began to demand, and now it just takes with nothing in return. The bank is empty, and still it takes, borrowing against other people’s stuff.

Addiction takes normal emotional responses and gives defensiveness and over-reaction. It takes caring about others and gives self-centered fear,

and still it says it’s your friend.

And after it’s taken your self-esteem, your identity, maybe your job, your family and health, then it says, “I never liked you anyway, I’m done with you.”

It doesn’t sound like a very healthy relationship, does it? In the end, addiction, like the thief he is, has taken everything of value and, despite his promises, left you with an empty box.
