Good morning, McHenry County ...

Return of hated holiday tunes

It is time, as my 3-year-old daughter would say, to “start Christmasing.”

Regardless of your level of holiday cheer, there are certain things that are inescapable, including holiday tunes that simply refuse to go away.

What we need is a solid list – something to present to the program directors at all-Christmas radio stations and the people who create the piped-in playlists at department stores and grocers – to let them know that we the people have grown tired of these tunes.

Here are my suggestions for a no-play list, most of which I first presented in 2014 and present to you like warmed-over Thanksgiving leftovers (although I’ve dropped the awful “The Christmas Shoes” from the list because I haven’t heard it since the last writing). Your suggestions are welcome, even needed.

1. “Santa Baby” – Whether it’s Eartha Kitt’s 1953 version or Madonna’s 1987 rendition, this smarmy appeal for extravagant gifts reminds me of what I imagine a mobster’s girlfriend would be like. So there’s another reason not to get involved in organized crime.

2. “It’s Cold Outside” – If you pay attention to the lyrics, this song’s actually kind of creepy. A guy’s trying to persuade his lady friend to stay the night, in part by plying her with booze. The “say, what’s in this drink?” line probably sounded a lot more innocent when it was first recorded in 1949 by Margaret Whiting and Johnny Mercer, before we’d heard of roofies or those allegations against Bill Cosby.

3. “Last Christmas” – This song, written

by George Michael and recorded by Wham! in 1984, is an earworm, unfortunately. You gave your heart to someone last Christmas and they gave it away the very next day? Man, that’s cold. Now you’ve had a whole year to get over it, apparently you’ve found “someone special, special,” and you’re still hung up? Move on, George.

4. “Do They Know it’s Christmas?” – This 1984 collaboration by artists including Michael, Boy George, Bono, Sting and Simon LeBon has some of the darkest imagery of any holiday tune out there. Christmas bells are “clanging chimes of doom” in a “world of dread and fear” whose only running water is the “bitter sting of tears.”

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK Eric Olson

This song was recorded to aid famine victims in Ethiopia, and the lyrics tell us that Africa – the whole continent of more than 1 billion people – is a terrible place where there won’t be snow this Christmastime and nothing ever grows.

“Do they know it’s Christmastime at all?” the song asks. I guess it depends on whether anyone in Africa has a calendar. Still, the video is a great flashback to the ’80s.

5. Mannheim Steamroller. The only group to make the list because their catalog all sounds basically the same. I admit to occasionally turning the radio up when a Steamroller song comes on, mostly because my wife hates them.

This vaguely festive white noise is the music that plays when you get stuck in an elevator on Christmas Eve. 6. “Wonderful Christmastime” – Sir Paul McCartney’s saccharine, synthesized 1986 ballad seems to be about getting tipsy at a holiday party as “the choir of children sings their song.” As the synthesizer line bounces around in your eardrums, they sing these lyrics: “Ding dong, ding dong Ding dong, ding ooo Ooo ooo toot toot toot toot toot toot.”

Let’s simply retire this one.

7. The Christmas Song – The Chipmunks.

No one would consider this a good song if they hadn’t been forced to listen to it at Christmas every year since 1958. It is a holiday tradition every bit as loved as fruitcake.

If you think I’ve left any real winners off this list, drop me a line and tell me why.

Here’s hoping all of you enjoy the holiday season, and remember: If you give your heart to anyone, make sure it’s someone “special, special.”

Darn it. I knew that would happen.

Crystal Lake library board mulls options for aging facility after election setback

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – The Crystal Lake Public Library Board is discussing what to do next after voters rejected an advisory referendum to build a new facility.

Board members and the library director since the Nov. 8 election have said they are reviewing their options for the aging building at 126 W. Paddock St. The library asked voters whether the Crystal Lake City Council should borrow $30.1 million to replace the library at the same site, but the

question was defeated by a margin of 55.6 percent to 44.4 percent.

The only new development since the election has been the City Council stating for the record that it will respect the voters’ wishes and will not consider issuing bonds.

The library board, which is appointed by the council, does not have the power to borrow money under state law, but the council can do it without a referendum. City Council members put the referendum on the ballot in July at the board’s request.

Fox Lake police ID woman found dead in Nippersink Lake

57-year-old woman’s dog also was found dead on the water NORTHWEST HERALD

FOX LAKE – Police said they do not suspect foul play in the death of a 57-year-old woman whose body they recovered Saturday afternoon from Nippersink Lake.

Fox Lake police said they responded to the scene for a call of a deceased dog that was found on the water at 2:45 p.m. near the 200 block of Leisure Drive in Nippersink Lake. Before recovering the dog, police said an officer checked along the shoreline and also found the woman dead close to shore.

Police released the identity of the woman Sunday afternoon. Mary T. Anton resided in the 100 block of Arthur Street in Fox Lake.

Anton’s son reported the woman

missing on Friday evening. Fox Lake officials said her son told investigators that he went to her home to check on her but discovered that she was not there and that her dog also was missing.

Investigators spoke with neighbors and were able to determine that Anton was last seen at her home around noon Friday. Her phone and purse were found at her home, police said.

Police said a preliminary investigation shows no evidence of foul play.

There were no obvious signs of trauma to Anton or the dog.

Investigators said there is little evidence available at this time to determine a manner of death.

The Lake County Coroner’s Office has scheduled an autopsy for Monday.

Officials said the death investigation will continue.

Fox Lake police are asking anyone who may have information about this incident to call them at 847-587-3100.

Police said they will provide more details to the public as events warrant.

Huntley High School senior Kyle Ockerlund was one of 10 Illinois high school students to receive the Fifty for the Future Award from the Illinois Technology Foundation.

Huntley senior earns Illinois Technology Foundation award

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – Through his research, Huntley High School senior Kyle Ockerlund has changed the school’s bell tone, taught a machine how to play tictac-toe and created a mapping system for Cook County police.

Earlier this year, the 18-year-old from Lake in the Hills was recognized with the Fifty for the Future award from the Illinois Technology Foundation for his study that found the school’s new, higher-pitched bell tone decreased students’ concentration.

The award was given to 50 college students and 10 high school students from around the state, according to a news release from the district.

When the school changed the bell tone a couple of years ago, Ockerlund started doing research through the group he co-founded, the Experimental Science Society.

“So everyone had this really strong opinion on it, and I’m sitting here while we have this great organization, I had just taken AP statistics, so I’m like, ‘Well, let’s try and put some of this to use,’ ” Ockerlund said.

His research found a 10 percent decrease in concentration during test taking among students exposed to the school’s higher-pitched bell than with the school’s previous bell tone.

After Ockerlund presented his research, the school went back to the lower pitch.

Aside from completing the bell tone research, Ockerlund has written two books – “Jumpstart Ti Basic” and “Jumpstart Z80 Machine Code,” both available on Amazon – and researched a number of other topics through his independent study class.

Ockerlund has been Michelle Zietlow’s student for three years, and she was the one who nominated him for the Fifty for the Future award. In the independent study class, Ockerlund chooses a project to work on for the semester.

“His idea of a project is just beyond what the average high school kid is going to think of for a project,” Zietlow said.

One of his most recent projects has been analyzing how students memorize vocabulary in Spanish, Ockerlund said.

The Cook County Sheriff’s Office

also is piloting a mapping program Ockerlund made that helps officers determine the best routes to take when delivering court orders.

Ockerlund said he enjoys using statistics and computer science for research because it’s applicable in a variety of fields.

“If I’m working for a bank and I’m working on, say, fraud detection, I shift through their data and I predict fraud, and my work is able to move around millions of dollars,” Ockerlund said.

“If I’m working for a hospital, and, say, I’m getting X-ray images and feed them into a system, my work done there could be saving lives.”

Using statistics and computer science is something every student should be taught, Ockerlund said, and something he hopes to continue studying when he graduates.

“I definitely think there needs to be an increased push toward computer science or statistics – both of them really – because a lot of students are not going to be using algebra, but they could very reasonably be using statistics,” Ockerlund said. “Every single industry needs statistics; every single industry has data.”

ALGONQUIN – Construction on a new Dunkin’ Donuts in Algonquin could start as early as this spring.

The Algonquin Committee of the Whole heard plans Tuesday for the doughnut and coffee shop, which would include a drive-thru and indoor and outdoor seating spaces at 4029 W. Algonquin Road.

The 1.8-acre lot currently is vacant, and the new building would be about 2,000 square feet, according to village documents.

“This is a great project; they have a really good site plan,” Algonquin Community Development Director Russell Farnum said.

Brown-toned face brick will be the main building material, and the base of the building will have brown-toned stone, according to initial plans.

There will be 18 parking spaces, which is short of meeting code requirements but sufficient, as most customers are expected to use the drive-thru, according to village documents.

The quality award was established in 1996 by the agencies, which represent more than 13,000 skilled nursing centers, assisted living communities and homes for people with intellectual

and developmental disabilities.

Valley Hi, located at 2408 Hartland Road, is a 128-bed facility occupied mostly by Medicaid recipients but with a handful of Medicare and private-pay residents.

Families who are able to spend time together during the holidays are truly blessed. It’s a wonderful time to reflect on past traditions and to enjoy the present. One way to enjoy a terrific experience together is to “get your battle on” at Battle House Laser Combat in Lake Barrington, IL. “Battle House offers a unique way of bonding with your family,” said owner Doug Huckbody.

“We’re a family-run business, and we love when families and friends come during the holidays.

They battle for almost 2 hours, engaging in exciting mission scenarios. On several occasions we’ve had three generations playing. It’s a blast, and the teambuilding aspect of the experience really brings people together.”

The Huckbodys opened Battle House after their daughter arranged for a pre-wedding outing at a similar facility in Wisconsin for her groom and his friends. “We realized how fun this was for men,

Battle House has guests from all over the world who visit family in Illinois for the holidays.

“We’ve had visitors from Taiwan, Japan, Wales, and Argentina,” said Huckbody. “We had a Swiss hockey team, and their parents, come to Battle House. They were in Crystal Lake for a hockey tournament, and were invited to Battle House by their U.S. Hockey team hosts. One family had played tactical laser combat in a former Swiss Army bunker on a mountainside in Switzerland, and compared their experience at Battle House very favorably.”

WOODSTOCK – Valley Hi Nursing Home won a national award for its commitment to the quality of its care.

The county-owned care facility west of Woodstock was one of seven in Illinois that was recognized with a National Quality Award, which is bestowed each year by the American Health Care Association and the National Center for Assisted Living.

Valley Hi is one of five that received the bronze award, which demonstrates a commitment to quality. Two other state facilities won silver awards, which are given to homes for achievements. No state homes received the gold award for excellence in quality.

To win the bronze award, facilities develop a plan with performance benchmarks that examiners later review to determine if they have been met. Valley Hi and other homes that won the bronze award now can develop and implement plans to qualify in fu-

Javier Gonzalez of Ringwood-based Astro Insulation was one of 35 people to compete in the 14th annual America’s Best Insulation Installation competition. Finishing as a runner-up, Gonzalez took home a $1,000 prize.

The competition was held from Nov. 10 to Nov. 12 at the EXDO Events Center in Denver.

Created in 2003, the competition showcases how properly installed insulation can have a positive effect on heating bills, home-energy efficiency and indoor comfort.

The competition’s final round consisted of competitors installing JM formaldehyde-free insulation batts into mock home structures. The contest was judged by using real job-site criteria such as the quality of installation, workmanship, speed and material use.

Gonzalez competed in last year’s competition as well, winning $5,000 for being the first runner-up in the 2015 contest.

While Gonzalez won $1,000 for being a runner-up this year, the winner, Norris Allen of Henges Insulation in Kansas, took home a $10,000 grand prize for first place.

People work on their laptops Wednesday at the Crystal Lake Public Library. A majority of Crystal Lake voters opposed an advisory referendum recommending the City Council borrow $30.1 million to build a new library. Several posters around the library describe the proposed new building and what is needed.

• CRYSTAL LAKE LIBRARY Continued from page A3

The plan rejected by voters sought to build a 75,000-square-foot library, about double the size of the existing 40,000-square-foot facility, which would increase property taxes an average of $132 a year for the owner of a $200,000 home that qualifies for the homestead exemption.

One possible option for the library would be going with other, more economical fixes for the 50-year-old building. Although community engagement groups convened by the library board this year chose to go with the $30.1 million new facility, other options included repairing 40,000 square feet for $9.1 million and a more expensive rebuilding of 45,000 square feet for $15.2 million.

However, board members have maintained that repairing the existing facility is, in the long run, a more expensive and ineffective option.

Voters in 1965 approved building the current library, which was set on the foundation of the old one that was torn down to make room for it. The unstable

Crystal Lake Public Library employee Emily Bereiter stocks movies Wednesday at the library. Crystal Lake Public Library Board members want to replace the library with a new facility rather than repairing the 50-year-old building. soils that have resulted in the library not being able to store books in the original portion of the building are just one of the problems the library said it has with its existing facility, from HVAC problems and crumbling steps to infrastructure that is insufficient for accom-

modating modern technology.

Two subsequent expansions in 1986 and 1995 brought the library to its current size. A short-term repair program was implemented after voters in 2004 rejected an advisory referendum to build a new library.

Although the library board said a new library is needed, opponents have called doubling its size, and the $30.1 million price tag, too ambitious in a county that one study maintains has the 29th highest property tax burden in the nation.

Ron Glass, co-star of TV’s ‘Barney Miller’ dead at 71

By JOHN ROGERS

The Associated Press LOS ANGELES – Ron Glass, the handsome, prolific character actor best known for his role as the gregarious, sometimes sardonic detective Ron Harris in the long-running cop comedy “Barney Miller,” has died at age 71.

Glass died Friday of respiratory failure, his agent, Jeffrey Leavett, told The Associated Press on Saturday.

“Ron was a private, gentle and caring man,” said Leavett, a longtime friend of the actor. “He was an absolute delight to watch on screen.

Words cannot adequately express my sorrow.”

Although best known for “Barney Miller,” Glass appeared in dozens of other shows in a TV and film career dating to the early 1970s.

He portrayed Derrial Book, the spiritual shepherd with a cloudy past in the 2002 science-fiction series Firefly” and its 2005 film sequel “Serenity.”

He was Felix Unger opposite Desmond Wilson’s Oscar Madison in “The New Odd Couple,” a 1980s reboot of the original Broadway show, film and TV series that this time cast black actors in the lead roles of Unger’s prissy neat freak forced to share an apartment with slovenly friend Madison.

Actor Ron Glass arrives Sept. 17, 2013, at the 65th Emmy Awards Nomination Celebration at the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences in Los Angeles. Best known for his role as Ron Harris, the gregarious, sometimes sardonic detective in the long-running cop comedy “Barney Miller,” Glass has died at age 71.

Glass was also the voice of Randy Carmichael, the genial neighbor and father of four children in the popular Nickelodeon cartoon series “Rugrats” and its spinoff, “All Grown Up.”

He also made appearances in such shows as “Friends,” “Star Trek: Voyager” and “Designing Women.” More recently he appeared in episodes of “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation”

and “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” Early credits included “All in the Family,” “Maude,” “Sanford and Son” and “Hawaii Five-0.”

In “Barney Miller” his literate detective Ron Harris was one of the few generally normal characters who populated a New York City police precinct filled with oddballs on both sides of the law. The ensemble cast included Hal Linden as precinct Capt. Barney Miller, Max Gail as detective Stan ‘Wojo’ Wojciehowicz, and Abe Vigoda as detective Phil Fish.

The show aired from 1975 until 1982, winning two Golden Globes and two Emmy Awards for best comedy series.

Glass was nominated for a supporting actor Emmy in 1982.

Raised in Evansville, Indiana, Glass received a Bachelor of Arts degree in drama and literature from the University of Evansville.

After graduation he moved to Minneapolis where he worked in regional theater before coming to Los Angeles to launch his TV and film career.

He was also a member of the board of directors for Los Angeles’ AL Wooten Jr. Heritage Center, an organization named for a man murdered in a gang-initiation drive-by shooting and dedicated to helping inner-city youth stay safe and receive an education.

Lawmakers face energy plan derided as ‘bailout’ Why are environmental groups on board?

By JOHN O’CONNOR The Associated Press

Because the legislation includes energy-efficiency programs that the Natural Resources Defense Council, the Illinois Chapter of the Sierra Club and the Citizens Utility Board say would save money by lowering demand for electricity, piggybacking on a landmark efficiency standard for investor-owned utilities that Illinois lawmakers adopted in 2007.

“That savings is key to ensuring all the bill’s benefits come without increase to consumer energy bills,” said Nick Magrisso of the NRDC. Proponents say BEST’s cost estimate is inflated.

SPRINGFIELD – A mammoth plan to save nuclear power plants in Illinois, derided as a corporate bailout by consumer advocates but hailed as a leap forward in energy-efficiency by environmentalists, faces an uphill climb this week in the final days of the General Assembly’s fall session.

What began as a means of rewarding Exelon Corp. for generating “clean” nuclear energy and of keeping open unprofitable plants in Clinton and the Quad Cities has evolved into a far-reaching, if contentious, revamp of state energy policy. Here is some information about the proposed legislation:

Chicago man awaits sentence in federal visa fraud case

CHICAGO – A man who’s pleaded guilty to wire fraud awaits sentencing in what authorities describe as a scheme to defraud foreign investors into backing a convention complex by O’Hare International Airport.

Anshoo Sethi of Chicago could be sentenced this week.

Federal authorities alleged fraudulent documents were used to raise millions from mostly Chinese investors who believed they’d get U.S. residency in return.

The case involves the EB-5 visa program, which allows foreign investors green cards.

Sethi’s attorney told The Chicago SunTimes that Sethi was misled by consultants and he’s refunded $145 million.

Authorities insist Sethi was “indisputably” in charge.

The newspaper also reported that Sethi has links to public officials, including a former alderman. Sethi also hired House Speaker Michael Madigan’s tax firm. Firm officials said Sethi was dropped as a client once authorities began investigating.

Trump assails recount push, claims millions voted illegally

By STEVE PEOPLES and CALVIN WOODWARD The Associated Press

NEW YORK – President-elect Donald Trump claimed without evidence Sunday that “millions” voted illegally in the national election, scoffing at Hillary Clinton’s nearly 2 million edge in the popular vote and returning to his campaign mantra of a rigged race even as he prepares to enter the White House in less than two months.

Trump and his lieutenants assailed an effort – now joined by Clinton – to recount votes in up to three battleground states, calling the push fraudulent, the work of “crybabies” and, in Trump’s estimation, “sad.”

The president-elect himself launched a Twitter offensive that spanned more than 12 hours on Sunday, casting a shadow over the legitimacy of an election that he actually won.

“I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally,” he tweeted in the afternoon before alleging in an evening tweet “serious voter fraud in Virginia, New Hampshire and California.” Trump’s transition team did not respond to questions seeking evidence of the unfounded claims.

There’s been no indication of widespread vote manipulation, illegal voting or hacking that materially affected the outcome one way or the other. It’s that very lack of evidence that suggests Trump is likely to prevail in recounts.

Trump on Sunday tweeted part of Clinton’s concession speech, when she told supporters they must accept that “Donald Trump is going to be our president,” and snippets from her debate remarks, when she denounced the Republican nominee for refusing to say in ad-

vance that he would accept the Election Day verdict.

This came on top of his saying it was a “scam” that Green Party nominee Jill Stein was revisiting the vote count in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. Trump won Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, and as of Wednesday, held a lead of almost 11,000 votes in Michigan, with the results awaiting state certification Monday. His Michigan margin was a hair’s breadth 0.22 percent of the state’s votes.

Clinton leads the national popular vote by close to 2 million votes, but Trump won 290 electoral votes to Clinton’s 232, not counting Michigan. She could conceivably tip the electoral balance in the remote event that all flipped to her in recounts.

Trump returned to New York on Sunday evening after spending Thanksgiving weekend at his West Palm Beach estate. His transition team said the president-elect had scheduled a series of meetings Monday with prospective administration hires.

Among the jobs Trump has still yet to fill: secretary of state. Internal division over the position again spilled out into the open Sunday as Trump senior adviser Kellyanne Conway voiced her concerns with the possibility of Mitt Romney landing such a significant position.

Trump supporters “feel a bit betrayed that you can get a Romney back in there after everything he did,” Conway said. “We don’t even know if he voted for Donald Trump. He and his consultants were nothing but awful to Donald Trump for a year.” She added that she was “reflecting what the grassroots are saying.”

Shoppers spend less because of discounts

By ANNE D’INNOCENZIO The Associated Press

NEW YORK – Thanksgiving weekend shoppers picked up hot toys, TVs and new Apple products, buying both online and in stores, but spent less per person because of rampant discounting that they’ve come to demand.

Once all the receipts are in, customers look to have spent an average of $289.19 over the four-day weekend, down nearly 3.5 percent from a year ago, based on a survey by the National Retail Federation. The pressure on prices was especially strong on products like TVs. More than 154 million customers said they had shopped or planned to this Thanksgiving weekend, up from 151 million a year ago, according to the survey conducted Friday and Saturday by the National Retail Federation and Prosper Insights & Analytics. And more were doing it online, as about 99.1 million went to the stores and 108.5 million shopped online.

Carmen Cunnyngham of Kansas City, Kansas, was in Denver on Sunday and decided to stop at the mall to pick up a new pair of Ugg boots for her daughter. They were discounted at

Paul Poirier shops for sales Friday at Target in Wilmington, Mass.

Nordstrom, which is one of her favorite places to shop. She said she got a bit of a late start this year because of the presidential election, so she’s been looking online for deals and jumping when she sees them.

“I’m trying to make sure I get the wish lists in and look at those and shop and do what I can before Christmas gets here,” she said.

The drop in spending underscores how even with an improving economy, many shoppers are still focused on habit developed during the Great Recession.

They’re fixated on deals and more readily using technology to find them whenever they want to buy. More than a third of customers surveyed by the NRF said that all of their purchases were on sale, up 11 percent from a year ago.

The Thanksgiving weekend kicks off the holiday shopping season but stores have increasingly started their sales earlier.

Stores had been wary about being left with a lot of inventory they would have to discount to get off the shelves, and so started the season with less on hand. That will help preserve profit margins, but they’ve still planned aggressive promotions to grab shoppers.

“People are much more deliberate about the purchases they make,” NRF CEO Matthew Shay said Sunday. “In a perfect world, everyone would sell at full price, but as consumers and as buyers all of us would like to get a deal on things we buy. The era of promotional sales is with us to stay.”

Although shoppers are spending less per person, more shoppers still could translate into more spending. MasterCard Advisors SpendingPulse, which tracks spending on all kinds of payments, estimated that spending over the four-day weekend will be up 3.8 percent, with online sales up by double-digit percentages and in-store sales up in the single digits. But MasterCard Advisors’ Sarah Quinlan also cited a slight decline in the average sale because of promotions.

Trump’s aides: Cuban gov’t will have to change “To the extent that President Trump can open up new conversations with Cuba, it would have to be a very different Cuba.”

By ANNE FLAHERTY The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – The Cuban government must move toward enacting greater freedoms for its people and giving Americans something in return if it wants to keep warmer U.S. relations initiated by President Barack Obama, top aides to President-elect Donald Trump said Sunday.

The comments by Trump advisers Kellyanne Conway and Reince Priebus came after the death of former Cuban leader Fidel Castro. Castro’s younger brother, 85-year-old Raul Castro, took control in 2006, and later negotiated with Obama to restore diplomatic relations.

Priebus, Trump’s incoming chief of staff, said Trump would “absolutely” reverse Obama’s opening to Cuba unless there is “some movement” from the Cuban government.

“Repression, open markets, freedom of religion, political prisoners – these things need to change in order to have open and free relationships, and that’s what President-elect Trump believes, and that’s where he’s going to head, “ Priebus told “Fox News Sunday.”

Conway made similar remarks and noted that any diplomatic deal will have to benefit American workers.

A person wearing a Donald Trump mask holds a sign that reads in Spanish “the rat dies” as he celebrates the death of Fidel Castro Saturday in the Little Havana area in Miami.

“To the extent that President Trump can open up new conversations with Cuba, it would have to be a very different Cuba,” she told ABC’s “This Week.”

She added: “He wants to make sure that when the United States of America, when he’s president, engages in any

type of diplomatic relations or trade agreements ... that we as America are being protected and we as America are getting something in return.”

Conway said nothing on Cuba has been decided. But she noted that the U.S. is allowing commercial aircraft to do business with a repressive Cuban government and Cuban military. And she said the “first order of business” is to rally the international community around trying to free political prisoners.

While Obama opened some U.S. investment and travel to Cuba through executive order, vast restrictions tied up in the trade embargo remain at the insistence of Republican lawmakers.

Separate memorial services have been scheduled for Tuesday and later in

the week in Cuba for Castro, and some world leaders and celebrities were expected to attend. As of Sunday, though, the White House had not said whether anyone from the U.S. government would attend.

Republican Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, whose parents were born in Cuba, said he is heartened by Trump’s past hard-line rhetoric on Cuba.

Rubio told CNN’s “State of the Union” that the U.S. focus must be its own security and other interests and encouraging a Cuban democracy.

“We should examine our policy toward Cuba through those lenses,” he said. “And if there’s a policy that helps that, it remains in place. And if it’s a policy that doesn’t, it’s removed.”

During the campaign, Trump said he would reverse “concessions” to the Cuban government by Obama unless the Castro government meets his demands.

On Saturday, while Obama offered condolences to Castro’s family and said the U.S. extends “a hand of friendship to the Cuban people,” Trump tweeted: “Fidel Castro is dead!”

Trump later released a statement noting his administration “will do all it can to ensure the Cuban people can finally begin their journey toward prosperity and liberty.”

ANOTHER VIEW

Build a wall – against conflicts of interest

Imagine, for a moment, that Hillary Clinton were president-elect. Imagine further that she announced her daughter, Chelsea, was taking over the Clinton Foundation – but would sit in on the president-elect’s meetings, including with foreign leaders who might have dealings with the foundation.

Imagine – and this one isn’t difficult – the howls you would hear from Republicans.

That is, roughly, a mirror image of how the Trump enterprise is behaving, except the case of the real president-elect is more worrying. More worrying because Donald Trump’s company is for-profit, unlike the Clinton Foundation, and far less transparent than the foundation about its dealings, including overseas. Yet Trump is resisting the only ethical solution – selling his properties and putting the proceeds in a blind trust. Instead, he says he will leave company management to his adult children – even as he involves those children intimately in setting up his new administration.

Trump’s actions since his Nov. 8 election have provided increasing reasons for concern. First came Ivanka Trump’s jewelry company using the family’s post-election interview appearance on “60 Minutes” to hawk a $10,800 diamond and gold bangle. Then came the president-elect’s private meeting with three Indian business partners who are building a Trump-branded luxury complex in India. In his first meeting with British politicians, Trump urged them to campaign against offshore wind farms – which Trump has opposed because he believes they will blight the view from a golf resort he owns in Scotland.

And so it goes, and so it will go unless Trump divests. Blithe assurances from Trump’s associates that he will scrupulously follow the law are not reassuring, because – as Trump himself noted in his meeting with The New York Times on Tuesday – conflict-of-interest laws generally do not apply to the president. Some constitutional experts argue if he does not divest he would be at risk of violating the Constitution’s emoluments clause, which bars U.S. officeholders from taking anything of value from foreign governments. Certainly he would subject the country to four years of unseemly mingling of personal and national interests, and himself to distracting accusations and second-guessing.

Trump had promised to put the nation first if elected and not concern himself with profits or occupancy rates. This week he repeated “the only thing that matters to me is running our country.” That is the pledge he should act on now.

To the Editor: President-elect Donald J.Trump, you say you will be a president of all the people, yet your initial list of appointees is rife with racists, misogynists, xenophobes, homophobes, sexists and any other minorities that exist.

For the love of God, select appointees who support the needs and wants of the majority of the electorate.

You won the majority of the electoral college. Hillary won the majority of the voters.

In response to your question, “What the hell do you have to lose?”, we the people have everything to lose.

You tell (order?) the cast of “Hamilton” and all demonstrators to apologize for exercising their First Amendment rights to

Lifestyle changes help GERD Note to readers: This column ran originally in December 2014.

Dear Dr. K: For years I’ve been taking a PPI twice a day for heartburn. My doctor wants me to cut back, or stop altogether. But the idea frightens me. Do you think it’s possible?

Dear Reader: To anyone tormented by frequent heartburn, not taking your daily tablet – or tablets – of omeprazole (Prilosec) or lansoprazole (Prevacid) might seem like a scary idea. These and similar drugs, known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), are the foundation of treatment for heartburn, also known as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

GERD occurs when stomach acid backs up into the esophagus. PPIs work by shutting down the acid-producing “pumps” in the stomach. They sharply reduce acid secretion, and therefore the irritation it causes when stomach contents back up into the esophagus.

A number of my patients whose GERD was tamed by PPIs, and now have no symptoms, have been able to successfully taper off of them. This is more likely if they also make the lifestyle changes that reduce the symptoms of GERD. Those include: • Lose weight. Being overweight is the leading cause of reflux.

• Avoid eating large meals. Instead, eat more frequent, smaller meals.

• Avoid eating two to three hours before your normal bedtime.

• Sleep with your upper body above stomach level by elevating the head of the bed slightly on blocks or by using a wedgeshaped cushion. This reduces pressure on the opening between the upper stomach and base of the throat. Just propping up your head with pillows won’t work.

• Avoid certain foods that can trigger heartburn. They include chocolate, caf-

feine, alcohol, acidic foods, spicy foods or fatty foods. Try cutting them out for a while to see if it makes a difference.

• Completely avoid foods with mint.

Mint may loosen the passageway from the stomach to the esophagus and allow acidic material to back up into the esophagus and throat.

What’s the problem with remaining on the PPIs indefinitely? There is some evidence long-term use may increase your risk of developing a type of pneumonia called aspiration pneumonia, and a potentially serious intestinal infection with the bacteria called C. difficile. It also may cause you not to absorb enough calcium, magnesium, vitamin B12 or iron.

To taper down on your PPI, start by gradually reducing the dose and frequency until you are taking the lowest dose once a day. Then, gradually replace the PPI with an H2 blocker, an acid-reducing drug. Examples include cimetidine (Tagamet), ranitidine (Zantac), famotidine (Pepcid) and nizatidine (Axid). Switching to an H2 blocker may help you stop taking a PPI. I don’t think we have solid evidence of serious side effects from long-term use of H2 blockers. The evidence of adverse effects from long-term use of PPIs is somewhat stronger. But suppose you’ve been free of GERD symptoms for several months on a PPI. If you’re committed to lifestyle changes, it’s worth talking with your doctor about how to gradually taper off your PPI.

JUMBLE

R I U N MA S E C O N D

to do is recognize being unencumbered can be a positive thing, particularly if you are not happy or satisfied with the relationship you are in. The adage “When a door closes, another one opens” usually is true. Start looking around for alternative living arrangements, and when you find something that will work for you, explain to your boyfriend you need to “make some changes.” It’s better for both of you than living a lie. As to your relationship with the young woman, whether she stays with the person she’s dating is something neither of us can predict.

Don’t be afraid. These are the things that make life interesting.

Dear Abby: My husband and I have been together six years. This Christmas will be our second year as a married couple. On Christmas morning, my husband goes over to his parents’ house to open gifts with his siblings. They are all adults; the oldest two are almost 40. (Both are single.) I have never been invited to their home because his mother is a hoarder. We are expecting our first child. My husband works in law enforcement and is not off the entire day on Christmas. He calls me selfish and accuses me of trying to ruin their family tradition when I tell him this needs to end. I do not appreciate my husband taking off for four hours every Christmas. I want us to start our own traditions. Am I wrong? – Wants Our Own Traditions Dear Wants: Since you and your husband are starting a family now, I see nothing wrong with wanting to start some traditions of your own. However, it doesn’t have to be an either/ or situation. Suggest alternating the Christmas mornings he spends at his parents’ house, or schedule your gift exchange for a time when your husband can be with you. Once the baby arrives, holiday plans are bound to change.

Dear Abby:

DEAR ABBY Earlier this year, I moved away Jeanne from home to Phillips move in with my boyfriend. We had been dating for more than a year and were close enough we could see each other whenever our schedules allowed. However, over the past few months, I have been second-guessing that decision. I’m noticing things I realize won’t work. To make matters more complicated, I met a girl who quickly became a good friend three months ago. She has inspired – and in some ways pushed – me to go back to college and improve my life. I find myself falling for her.

The thing is, she just started dating someone, and I would never betray my partner by being unfaithful. I don’t know what to do. I can see my relationship with my boyfriend is not going to work out, and I know I’m not going to violate my female friend’s relationship either. How does someone end a relationship when they live together? And how do I deal with the fear I’ll be miserable being on my own again, and the guilt of breaking my partner’s heart? – Mixed-Up

At the bridge table, number one, make or break the contract ... number two, communicate with your partner ... number three, bury the opposition.

Today’s deal has elements of that, but also three and one are relevant -why? South is in three notrump. West leads his fourth-highest heart, and East puts up the king. What should declarer do?

South’s three-notrump rebid shows some 18-20 high-card points, at least six diamonds, in principle stoppers in the two unbid suits and often a singleton in responder’s suit.

(It is a hand too strong for one diamond - one spade - three diamonds.)

South apparently starts with eight top tricks: four spades, two hearts (given trick one) and two diamonds.

He can also establish three or four more diamond winners. But to collect all of those spade tricks, how does declarer get into the dummy?

The temptation is to cash the top diamonds and assume that the queen will drop, which it is supposed to do 58 percent of the time. Note, though, that if declarer can win six diamond tricks, he has nine tricks via one spade, two hearts and six diamonds.

But just in case the diamond queen will not drop, South should be willing to sacrifice one trick to get the three spade winners in return.

After winning trick one and cashing the spade ace, declarer should lead his diamond 10 or nine. If East ducks, South has six diamond tricks.

If East wins, the diamond jack is a dummy entry.

WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL: HARPER COLLEGE

Local trio helps Hawks win NJCAA D-III national title

By BARRY BOTTINO

sportsdesk@shawmedia.com

What to watch Green Bay at Philadelphia, 7:15 p.m., ESPN Aaron Rodgers leads the struggling Packers (4-6) against the Eagles (5-5) and firstyear coach Doug Pederson. Rodgers took Pederson’s job as Brett Favre’s backup QB for the Packers in 2005.

Top-watched game BRISTOL, Conn. – ESPN said the Michigan-Ohio State double-overtime thriller drew more than 16.6 million viewers, making it the most-watched college football game this season. The game also was the most-watched college football game on ABC since the 2006 Michigan-Ohio State game drew more than 21 million viewers, and the most-watched 11 a.m. kickoff for any game on an ESPN network. The 2006 game, which was a No. 1-vs.-No. 2 matchup, kicked off at 2:30 p.m.

In his 15 years coaching Harper College’s volleyball program, Bob Vilsoet rarely has played his starters against his nonstarters in practice.

To make the workouts fair, Vilsoet usually mixes his roster to make the matchups as fair as possible.

This season, that all changed.

“We had somebody make significant contributions at every poKathryn Novy sition,” Vilsoet said.

“We were strong at every position.”

The Hawks’ depth helped carry the team – and its three McHenry County-area players – to a 43-1 record and an NJCAA Division III national championship Nov. 12 in Rochester, Minnesota.

“We’re a team that has multiple ways of winning,” Vilsoet said. “As good as we are hitting, we just play a defensive frenzy. The ball never lands and the girls never give up. It’s hard to

beat us because there’s nowhere to hit the ball.”

Harper, which ranked third in the nation in digs per set (20.27), had 57 digs in a 3-0 national title match victory against Minnesota’s Ridgewater College.

Freshman outside hitter Ariana Chelini of Crystal Lake South had 10 of those digs.

Vilsoet said Chelini, who averaged 2.9 digs a set, also made life difficult on other teams Lindsey Allen because of her serving and serve receive while contributing 1.64 kills this season.

At nationals, the tournament announcer called the do-everything Chelini the team’s Swiss Army knife.

“It felt good to hear that,” Chelini said. “I don’t get a lot of recognition. So that was very nice of him to say.”

Although she is listed as an outside hitter, Chelini’s skills make her a great fit for libero, Vilsoet said.

See HAWKS, page 3

Harper College freshman outside hitter Ariana Chelini, a Crystal Lake South alumna, averaged 2.9 digs a set and made life difficult on other teams because of her serving and serve receive while contributing 1.64 kills per match this season.

BIG TEN CHAMPIONSHIP GAME: NO. 8 PENN STATE VS. NO. 6 WISCONSIN, 7:17 P.M. SATURDAY, FOX

Badgers, Nittany Lions have not met since 2013

to Ohio State, 59-0, in 2014.

Wisconsin is 9-8 all-time against Penn State. This will be the first meeting since Nov. 30, 2013, when Penn State won, 31-24, in a wild game in Madison.

Injury update: Penn State star running back Saquon Barkley is expected to play after injuring his right foot against Michigan State on Saturday, Franklin said.

Barkley averages 101.6 yards a game to rank third in the Big Ten. He was held to 14 yards on 12 carries in the 4512 win over the Spartans.

Wisconsin coach Paul Chryst said starting quarterback Alex Hornibrook is day-to-day after getting knocked out of Saturday’s game against Minnesota with an apparent concussion. Bart Houston played the entire second half.

“We could not have won without her,” Vilsoet said. “It’s that simple.

She is, first and foremost, a fantastic blocker. And her hitting is so hard and so accurate.”

Novy, who played last season at Elgin Community College, credited her hitting success to the team’s highly competitive practices.

“Normally, I would have the starting defense on my side,” she said. “But when I’m hitting against the starting defense, I have to get more crafty and hit different shots to get around them. It helped me to be smarter about my hits.”

One of those practice standouts who tested Novy was Crystal Lake Central grad Lindsey Allen, a freshman de-

fensive specialist who appeared in 11 matches this season.

“She embraced her role,” Vilsoet said. “She played anywhere I asked her to in practice. She was a wonderful teammate.”

At age 21, Allen’s first collegiate volleyball season helped her realize a dream of playing at the college level.

Injuries and school commitments, Allen said, had kept her from finding the right college opportunity.

“I decided to take a chance and email Bob,” she said. “It worked out pretty great. It was pretty magical.”

Harper’s national championship match was especially emotional for Allen, who was a member of the 2009

CL Central team that took fourth place in the state tournament with the late Doug Blundy as its coach.

“My sophomore year, we made a promise that we were going to win it,” she said. “Then he passed away.

He wasn’t just a coach, he was like a grandfather to everybody on the team.

He made us all feel really special.”

In the final moments of the national championship match, Allen felt a rush of emotion and began crying as Harper closed out the victory.

“A lot of us (at CL Central) made promises to ourselves and to each other that we would try to win a championship for him,” she said. “This team helped me do that.”

The Associated Press Penn State was picked fourth in the Big Ten East in the preseason and went 2-2 after an ugly loss at Michigan, prompting the athletic director to issue a public vote of confidence for thirdyear coach James Franklin.

Two months later, who would have thought the eighth-ranked Nittany Lions would have thrown a wrench into the College Football Playoff hypotheticals by earning a berth in the Big Ten championship game opposite No. 6 Wisconsin?

Things would have been so much simpler if Ohio State hadn’t lost to the Lions on Oct. 22 on the road.

A win in Indianapolis on Saturday night would give the Lions (10-2, No. 7 CFP) two victories over top-10 teams to weigh against their losses to Pittsburgh and Michigan. Imagine the outrage in Happy Valley if the Lions beat the Badgers and, as conference champion, were excluded from the group of four teams to play for the national championship. It could happen.

The Buckeyes (11-1, No. 2 CFP) would be at the mercy of the committee if Penn State wins, but the chairman already has said Ohio State has the better résumé.

If Wisconsin (10-2, No. 6 CFP) wins, the committee logically could pick Ohio State based on its overtime win over the Badgers on Oct. 15 in Madison. If that happens, the city known as “Madtown” surely would be that.

Continued from page 2 “She’s on a national championship team, and she’s one of only three players to play every position,” he said.

“She’s a fantastic libero, but she’s also fantastic in the front row. Every time (a hitter swings), I think, ‘Where would I have hit that set?’ And every time, she hits it in those spots.”

Offensively, sophomore middle hitter Kathryn Novy (Dundee-Crown) had nine kills and earned a spot on the all-tournament team.

She ranked second on the team in kills per set (2.76) and contributed the team’s second-most blocks (0.87).

Franklin tried to stay above the fray Sunday when it came to playoff possibilities.

“To be honest with you, I don’t really have a strong opinion,” he said.

“We’re focused on Wisconsin and excited about this opportunity. And after that game, whatever the powers that be decide, we’ll be happy and excited for whatever that opportunity is.”

Five things to know heading into the Big Ten title game: Old vs. new: This will be the sixth Big Ten title game, and Wisconsin is in it for the fourth time. Penn State is making its first appearance and going for its first championship since 2008.

The Badgers are 2-1 in Indianapolis, beating Michigan State, 42-39, in 2011 and Nebraska, 70-31, in 2012 and losing

Chryst said Hornibrook told him he felt better Sunday.

Franklin’s journey: Penn State lost four straight to end 2015, and got off to a 2-2 start this season with those losses of 42-39 to Pittsburgh and 49-10 to Michigan. A few days after the loss in Ann Arbor, AD Sandy Barbour pledged allegiance to Franklin, saying his job was not in jeopardy.

Despite a run of injuries that hit the linebacker corps especially hard and left the Lions without seven starters, Penn State turned into one of the hottest teams in the nation.

Linebacker Jason Cabinda said he and his teammates never ruled out a chance to play in Indy.

“We talked about it all last season.

That this was our goal and this is where we wanted to go, so we put our head down and went to work,” Cabinda said. “Every week we have improved and gotten better, and now we have a tremendous opportunity to go to Indianapolis next week and finish this thing and get a Big Ten championship.”

Badger dominance: Wisconsin and Alabama are the only Power Five programs to reach conference title games four times since 2011. The Badgers have won at least 10 games six of the past eight years and are 17-3 in their past 20 games. They’re 15-3 against Big Ten West teams since the conference went to the current divisions in 2014.

It’s about defense: Wisconsin and Penn State rank Nos. 3 and 4 in total defense in the Big Ten, with the Badgers allowing 292 yards a game and the Lions 346.

No one has been running much against either team lately. Only five opponents have run for 100 yards against the Badgers. Penn State has allowed no more than 110 yards on the ground in any of its past five games.

Giants’ win streak at 6 with victory over winless Browns The ASSOCIATED PRESS

Bulls guard Dwyane Wade (left) talks to forward Jimmy Butler in the closing moments of their 110-107 loss to the Nuggets on Tuesday in Denver.

BULLS

Butler, Wade expand range beyond the arc

Duo work on 3-point shooting to fit into Hoiberg’s offense

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com The back of the basketball card told a story.

A very real and somewhat dismal story.

Good thing for the Bulls that Dwyane Wade and Jimmy Butler aren’t much into following scripts.

When the front office decided to rid themselves of the likes of Mike Dunleavy and Pau Gasol – both threats to hit the 3-pointer last season – and bring in Rajon Rondo and Wade, it looked like “Hoiball” would die a slow death in Year 2.

Fred Hoiberg’s offense at Iowa State was predicated on space and pace, drive-and-kick, basically using the 3-point arc as a weapon. Rondo, Wade and Butler have made careers out of more often than not being allergic to making 3-pointers.

Butler entered the season a career 33 percent shooter from beyond the

arc, while Rondo was at 29 percent and Wade was 28 percent.

Then this regular season happened.

And although it’s only 16 games old, Butler and Wade are showing why great players are able to reinvent themselves.

Butler entered this week shooting 43 percent (23 for 54) from 3, while Wade was right behind him at 39 percent (20 for 52). What’s been even more impressive about Wade’s accuracy from out there is he only took 44 3-pointers throughout the entire 201516 regular season in Miami.

Yet, there he was in training camp last month, working with Hoiberg on his 3-point shot after practices, both off the dribble as well as catch-and-shoot.

Admittedly, off the dribble still is the 34-year-old’s weapon of choice.

“Still working on [catch-andshoot], but obviously pull-up is what I’ve been doing my whole life, so just moved it back a little bit more,’’ Wade said. “But I’ll keep working on it. Coach has given me all the confidence, my teammates give me all the confidence to shoot my shots hit or miss, so keep shooting them.”

Butler’s emergence as an outside threat should really come as no surprise.

CLEVELAND – Eli Manning threw two touchdown passes to Odell Beckham Jr., Jason Pierre-Paul returned a fumble for a TD, and the New York Giants extended their winning streak to six, holding off Cleveland, 27-13, Sunday to keep the Browns winless.

Manning had three TD passes. They don’t overwhelm anyone, but the Giants (8-3) do just enough to win and are in position to make the playoffs for the first time since 2011, when they won the Super Bowl.

Cleveland (0-12) has lost 15 in a row since last season. It is 3-30 since ending the 2014 season with five consecutive losses.

Chiefs 30, Broncos 27 (OT): At Denver, Cairo Santos’ 34-yard field goal hit the left upright and bounced through as the overtime period expired to give the Chiefs a victory over the Broncos.

That avoided the third tie in the NFL this season, something that hasn’t happened since 1973 before the league introduced overtime.

The Chiefs (8-3) kept up with the Oakland Raiders (9-2) in the AFC West race, and the Broncos (7-4) could find themselves fighting for a wild card now.

Buccaneers 14, Seahawks 5: At Tampa, Florida, Jameis Winston threw a pair of touchdown passes to Mike Evans, and Tampa Bay’s rejuvenated defense shut down Russell Wilson and Seattle (7-3-1).

Evans scored on receptions of 3 and 23 yards in the opening quarter, Alterraun Verner had one of two interceptions off Wilson, and the Bucs sacked the Seattle quarterback six times.

The Bucs (6-5) have won three straight to climb back into contention for a playoff berth.

Raiders 35, Panthers 32: At Oakland, California, Derek Carr came back from an injured pinkie to lead another fourth-quarter comeback, and the Raiders (9-2) won their fifth straight game.

Cam Newton led the Panthers (47) into Oakland territory on the final drive. But Greg Olsen dropped a pass on third down that would have put Carolina in field goal range, and Khalil Mack stripped Newton on a fourthdown sack to seal the win.

Patriots 22, Jets 17: At East Rutherford, New Jersey, Tom Brady tied Peyton Manning for the most wins by a quarterback in NFL history, getting his 200th by throwing a go-ahead 8-yard touchdown pass to Malcolm Mitchell with 1:56 left.

Trailing 17-16 with 5:04 left and the ball on the Patriots 17, Brady led an efficient drive by completing six passes. After James White stretched for 4

by Chris Hogan put the ball at the 8.

Brady then zipped a pass to Mitchell to put the Patriots (9-2) ahead.

Falcons 38, Cardinals 19: At Atlanta, Taylor Gabriel took two short passes for touchdowns, and Atlanta (7-4) returned from a bye week to add to Arizona’s misery.

Gabriel, cut by the winless Browns before the season, scored on plays of 35 and 25 yards that showed off his speed.

His second score finished the Cardinals (4-6-1), who began the season touted as a Super Bowl contender but have been one of the NFL’s most disappointing teams.

Chargers 21, Texans 13: At Houston, Philip Rivers threw for 242 yards and three touchdowns against the mistake-prone Texans (6-5).

Dontrelle Inman had 119 yards receiving and a touchdown to help San Diego (5-6) to the victory.

Saints 49, Rams 21: At New Orleans, Drew Brees passed for 310 yards and four touchdowns, and Mark Ingram scored twice for New Orleans (5-6) Playing 10 days after being knocked unconscious in a Thursday night loss at Carolina, Ingram rushed for 146 yards on 14 carries, including a 61-yard scamper and a 10-yard touchdown on a fourth-and-1 play. He also scored on a 21-yard screen to the right side of the field, which was wide open as the Rams (4-7) tried to pressure Brees.

3 things that worked

1

Fourth-quarter Barkley: In a pass-heavy fourth, Barkley almost rallied the Bears. He completed 18-of-33 passes for 210 yards and two touchdowns in the quarter. The 33 pass attempts tied Steve DeBerg for second-most throws in a quarter all-time. Barkley had a 94.3 rating in the quarter, which would have been much higher were it not for several key drops.

Feeding Howard: A mainstay in this section each week, Jordan Howard’s outstanding rookie season continues. He had 18 carries for 84 yards, averaging 4.7 yards a touch. He also had 43 receiving yards on three receptions.

Containing Murray: The Titans’ lead back was held to 2.5 yards a pop on his 17 carries, finishing with only 43 yards and a long of 10 yards. Murray was effective as a receiver with five catches for 41 yards.

Red-zone offense: The Bears were 3 for 6 in the red zone, including two Barkley interceptions and then the final drive, which resulted in four incomplete passes (including two drops). Those three possessions not only ended without a touchdown, but the Bears left the red zone without any points, same as their first drive, which got to Tennessee’s 33-yard line before they turned it over on downs.

Drops: It was a brutal day for the hands of the Bears’ receivers, as they couldn’t hang on to Barkley passes throughout the afternoon. No drop was more crucial than Josh Bellamy’s, when he was wide open in the end zone to tie the score in final minute. Deonte Thompson couldn’t snag Barkley’s pass on fourth-and-goal, either.

First-half defense: Marcus Mariota was incredibly efficient in the first half, completing 10 of 14 passes for 139 yards and two touchdowns, good for a blistering passer rating of 142.6. The Titans had 86 rushing yards in the first half and 21 points, but were held to only two field goals after halftime.

3 moments that mattered

1

Barkley’s second pick: A surprise onside-kick recovery gave the Bears life to open the second half and they drove to the Titans’ 5-yard line and faced a third-and-goal. Barkley was flushed out of the pocket and thought Cameron Meredith had enough depth to float it to the back of the end zone, but Da’Norris Searcy picked off the pass, leaving the Bears empty-handed.

Goldman’s stop: The Titans attempted a shovel pass to Murray on third-and-2 with 2:10 left in the game. The nose tackle, returning to the lineup after missing last week’s game with an ankle injury, showed quite the agility and recognition to stop Murray short of the first, giving the offense a chance.

Bellamy’s drop: A miraculous comeback was about to be complete, as Bellamy stood in the end zone without a Titans DB in sight with 47 seconds left and the Bears down by six. Barkley made the pass, but Bellamy dropped it. Three plays (and another drop) later, and the rally ended, dropping the Bears to 2-9.

2 3

What now?

Record: 2-9 What it means: It’s the Bears’ worst start to a season since they opened the 1997 campaign with a 1-10 mark.

What’s next: A home game against the only NFC team worse than the Bears: the 1-10 49ers.

Making sense of Barkley’s big day

By ADAM L. JAHNS

ajahns@suntimes.com CHICAGO – To play hero, all Bears quarterback Matt Barkley had to do was deliver one more good throw from the 7-yard line in the final 47 seconds.

And he did.

Titans cornerback Perrish Cox slipped, leaving receiver Josh Bellamy uncovered.

And Barkley hit Bellamy with a pass literally in his No. 11.

“I figured that we had a chance to score,” Barkley said.

But the Bears didn’t. The Titans won, 27-21, Sunday at Soldier Field. It was a horrendous drop by Bellamy on a day full of them for the Bears’ receivers.

On fourth down, receiver Deonte Thompson failed to make a sliding catch in the end zone – even though Barkley’s pass hit him in the chest – to end the Bears’ dramatic comeback attempt.

But let’s be honest: Barkley won, and his team didn’t.

It was surreal to see Barkley – a fouryear veteran who was signed to the practice squad Sept. 5 and who was making his first career start – in that moment in the first place. It was his play that inspired the comeback. He was the one who played well enough to win.

“I know who I am as a quarterback, and I know what I’m capable of,” said Barkley, who was 28 for 54 for 316 yards and three touchdowns.

“Even though we lost, it’s encouraging at the same time to see how these guys fought and how they really banded togeth-

Bears quarterback Matt Markley (right) celebrates with tight end Daniel Brown after Brown’s touchdown catch in the first quarter of Sunday’s game against the Titans at Soldier Field. The Bears lost, 27-21. er to play for each other.”

Barkley said the right things afterward.

He praised his protection for his sack-free day and didn’t fault any receiver who had a case of the drops.

On the field, it was apparent Barkley’s teammates felt the spark that he provided.

They literally jumped about on the sideline as Barkley cut into the Titans’ 20-point lead in the fourth quarter.

“For the guy’s first start with us, it was pretty good,” coach John Fox said.

But what does it all mean?

No one is anointing Barkley the Bears’ next quarterback. There is a big difference

between what Barkley did and who Marcus Mariota is for the Titans.

And no one is saying Barkley is playing well enough yet to prolong Jay Cutler’s absence. It was only one game against a mediocre defense.

If anything, Barkley’s success speaks to his coaching. Offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains’ play-calling has warranted criticism, but he and quarterbacks coach Dave Ragone got enough out of Barkley – who was throwing to reserves – to beat the Titans.

“I thought Dowell called a [heck] of a game,” Barkley said.

That does mean something. Coaches are evaluated, too.

Loggains and Ragone also managed to get a 98.0 passer rating out of journeyman Brian Hoyer, who didn’t make many big plays in his five starts, but still fit the efficient mold that Fox covets.

As for Barkley, it helped that the Titans’ secondary was soft in its coverage after Mariota (15 for 23, 226 yards, two touchdowns, 126.4 passer rating) staked them to a big lead.

Barkley was able to overcome a rough first half and his two bad interceptions to find a rhythm. It helped to push the tempo, too.

“I was seeing everything clean,” said Barkley, who was 18 for 33 in the fourth quarter.

General manager Ryan Pace likes Barkley, too.

And that means everything.

Barkley’s success Sunday or beyond won’t preclude Pace from drafting a quarterback early on in this year’s draft. But

Pace never saw Barkley as the punch line that he had seemingly become after going from a prized high school recruit for Southern California to a fourth-round pick of the Eagles in 2013 to roster fodder.

Barkley nearly rewarded Pace’s belief in him with a dramatic win.

“Just moving on from here, knowing that we can win, that we have guys on this team that can win games, it’s just making sure we don’t shoot ourselves in the foot,” Barkley said. “That’s the goal from here on out.”

Brown, Barkley debate fate of first TD ball: Tight end Daniel Brown and Bar-

kley had a friendly postgame debate: who got the ball from their seven-yard, firstquarter touchdown?

Neither had ever scored an NFL touchdown before Sunday’s touchdown against the Titans.

“I think we’re going to like cut it in half,” said Brown, who the Bears claimed last month from the Ravens. “Or I’ll have it one week and he’ll have it the next week.

We’ll just mail it back and forth.”

Barkley joked that “he can keep it throughout the season, and I’ll take it home for the offseason.”

Brown, who had six catches for the Ravens last year, said nothing could compare to the score.

“I dunno that you can really describe it,” he said. “Your first touchdown is always something you’re going to remember. I can’t really put it into words. It’s kinda like an out-of-body experience. Overwhelmed with joy.”

BEARS NOTES

Defense helps keep Bears in game after halftime

By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@profootballweekly.com CHICAGO – The Bears are far past moral victories, but they’re not quitting, either, as we saw in Sunday’s 27-21 loss to the Titans. At 2-9, however, that “positive” isn’t carrying a ton of weight.

“I think we’ve taken that road a couple times this year. Quite frankly, I think a lot of guys are tired of having to look for the bright side in it and we want that result,” Bears defensive end Akiem Hicks said. “I know I do. I want that result. It’s part of this game and something that we’ll have to swallow, but as much as we’re fighting through things, I know we’re ready for a result.”

Quarterback Matt Barkley’s spirited comeback fell short, but the defense deserves credit for giving him the opportunities in the fourth quarter with improved play.

Titans running back DeMarco Murray was held to 21 rushing yards on nine carries in the second half, a 2.3-yard average.

“When trying to stop him, we knew that he was a bounce-out rusher. He’s not looking to chop it up in the middle, and that’s what we tried to protect against,” Hicks said. “Unfortunately, he got out a couple times, but we did our best to contain him.”

Nick Kwiatkoski, who Nick started for Jerrell Freeman Kwiatkoski at inside linebacker, had four tackles on the afternoon.

“Just playing gap-sound and correcting some things we did in the first half,” he said about containing Murray. “Communication, knowing where people were and how we were going to play things.”

The Titans had 150 yards of offense in

the second half, and the defense held the Titans to field goals on two red-zone possessions, including a goal-line stop, and Tennessee is the league’s best red-zone offense.

It’s not something the Bears want to keep repeating, but it’s what they can lean on during a losing streak – the ability to keep fighting.

“That’s one thing that I’ve said since we’ve been on this tough streak. You look around and a lot of people expect to see a guy not capable of maintaining throughout the game or wanting to throw in the towel, but you don’t see that,” Hicks said. “That’s a great thing. We’re not getting the result that we want, but at least you know that your brothers – your coaching staff, your personnel – everybody’s in there with you fighting to get a better result out of this.”

The end result, however, is another loss for the Bears, and this one – like sev-

eral since early October – is one filled with missed opportunities. The defense stepped up late, but also didn’t record a single quarterback hit.

“We’re going to look at this film and say, ‘Man, we should’ve won this game,’ ” outside linebacker Willie Young said.

Another leader injured: Danny Trevathan left the game with what coach John Fox said appears to be a serious knee injury.

He had five tackles in the game.

“Hard to put a value on a guy that is a leader on this team,” Hicks said.

John Timu likely will step into Trevathan’s starting role, which means that the Bears’ ILB position – one that was upgraded heavily this offseason – will go with Timu and Kwiatkoski until Freeman’s suspension ends.

“It definitely leaves a gap in the room,” Kwiatkoski said. “People will have to step up. I wish him the best.”

SPORTS BRIEFS USF, Pitt enter Top 25 rankings

South Florida and Pittsburgh were among six teams to enter The Associated Press college football poll Sunday, matching a record for the Top 25 era.

USF and Pitt are tied for No. 24. No. 17 Stanford, No. 19 Virginia Tech, No. 20 Navy and No. 22 Iowa also entered the rankings in the second-to-last regular-season poll.

This is the fourth time six teams entered the rankings in one week since 1989, when the AP poll expanded to include 25 teams.

Alabama remained a unanimous No. 1, and Ohio State was No. 2. Clemson moved up a spot to No. 3, and Washington jumped two to No. 4. Michigan dropped two to fifth after its double-overtime loss to Ohio State.

No. 6 Wisconsin was followed by Oklahoma, Penn State, Colorado and Southern California.

Ottawa wins CFL’s Grey Cup

TORONTO – Former Bear Henry Burris threw an 18-yard touchdown pass to Ernest Jackson in overtime and the Ottawa Redblacks won the Grey Cup on Sunday night, upsetting the Calgary Stampeders, 39-33.

The third-year Redblacks won their first Canadian Football League title, and gave Ottawa its 10th championship. The Rough Riders won the last of their seven titles in 1976, and the Senators won in 1925 and 1926.

The Redblacks lost to Edmonton last year in the title game.

“For all those haters out there, their organizations haven’t won a Grey Cup in decades, but ours, in three years, here we are, Grey Cup champions,” the 41-year-old Burris said.

Calgary was favored by double digits after finishing the regular season 15-2-1. The Red-

blacks, at 8-9-1, were the first team to finish first in a division with a losing record.

After Jackson bobbled but made the touchdown catch on the first possession of overtime, Burris missed the wide-open Khalil Paden on the mandatory 2-point conversion try.

AP source: Panthers fire Gallant

Gerard Gallant was a coach of the year finalist last season after guiding the Florida Panthers to a division title and the best regular season in franchise history.

He made it through 22 games this season, before the Panthers decided change was needed.

The Panthers fired Gallant on Sunday night, a person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press. The move was made after the Panthers’ 3-2 loss at Carolina – one that dropped Florida to 11-10-1, good for only 10th in the Eastern Conference.

General manager Tom Rowe will take over as coach, said the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the team has not announced the moves.

Gallant was under contract through the 2018-19 season, having signed an extension in January.

The postgame routine turned into something most unusual Sunday night.

Gallant spoke after the game as always, talking about how five poor second-period minutes out of 60 was the team’s undoing against the Hurricanes, a game where Florida wasted an early 2-0 lead. Shortly after that is when he apparently was told of the dismissal, and Gallant then waited for a taxi after his luggage was unloaded from the buses that were to carry the Panthers to the airport.

10 BLACKHAWKS

Still searching for identity

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com Two dreadful defeats, two solid wins, two spirited losing efforts and one miraculous victory later, the Blackhawks on Sunday returned to Chicago the same way they left it two weeks earlier – atop the Western Conference standings, well on their way to a ninth straight playoff berth, and still unsure of exactly who they are.

“We had some really good games and a couple where nothing went our way,” Marian Hossa said. “But I think the team [came] together pretty good, and I think there is really good potential. I like what I see.”

“Potential” isn’t a word the Hawks are used to using this far into a season.

The Hawks’ identity over the past few seasons has been constant – a puck-possession team that was fast, skilled, defensive-minded, experienced and tested. They simply owned the puck, and their speed, skill and structure took over from there.

This year, they’re all over the map.

Most nights, they’re chasing the puck, a middle-of-the-pack possession team marked by lousy first periods and frantic thirds. Some days they’re young and exciting; some days they’re inexperienced and underwhelming. Some days, the stars are carrying the load; some days, they’re leaning on the kids for a spark.

About the only constant so far has been sound defense and great goaltending.

Asked whether he has a sense of his team’s identity, coach Joel Quenneville – a man who always has said he doesn’t worry about his team scoring goals – focused on the other side of the puck for a change.

“It’s progressed here,” he said. “It’s been better as far as how we played defensively. We’re getting a little more predictable in some areas without the puck. I still think we can be better with it. That’s the area where we have room for growth.”

There’s plenty to like. The Hawks have shown a scrappiness that has al-

The Hawks lost, 2-1, in overtime. lowed them to rally for wins and escape with points and victories in games in which they largely are outplayed. Patrick Kane and Artemi Panarin have picked up where they left off last season, with 23 and 21 points, respectively, in 23 games. And Artem Anisimov and Marian Hossa have significantly increased their scoring.

Among the rookies, Ryan Hartman and Tyler Motte have shown off a polished game and a nose for the net, with Hartman looking like a worthy heir to the irascible yet productive Andrew Shaw.

And Michal Kempny has been rock solid on the blue line, a perfect partner for the more offensive-minded Brent Seabrook.

There are plenty of concerns, too. Poor starts continue to plague the Hawks.

Jonathan Toews – who missed the past two games with an upper-body injury – has struggled offensively, although his two-way game remains strong as ever.

There isn’t much depth scoring beyond the Kane line and Hossa, a familiar problem dating to the start of last season.

Lloyd’s Paint n’ Paper

Nick Schmaltz has had an underwhelming start, with a goal and three assists in 23 games as he makes the difficult transition from college to the NHL without a stop in the AHL. Despite his skill, he has a frustrating reluctance to shoot the puck (only 13 shots on goal in 23 games).

And Gustav Forsling clearly has a high ceiling, but his offensive gifts are countered by some shakiness in his own end.

On the plus side, the Hawks are being patient with both Schmaltz and Forsling, giving them time to adjust and adapt, which is something they haven’t done in the past. But they can only wait so long.

One thing is certain: The Central Division is hardly the daunting gantlet it has been in recent seasons. The Hawks have taken a step back, but the rest of the conference has taken a bigger one. That affords the Hawks some leeway – time to get all the rookies at the same level, time to figure out a lineup that sticks, time to settle on defensive pairings, and time to find out just who they are.

• BULLS

Continued from page 4 Every offseason the two-time All-Star seems to add something else to his game, and knowing Hoiberg would need players to step up as outside threats, Butler did just that over the summer. Not only did he work on the shot on his own, but spent hours taking extra shots from outside with his Team USA teammates leading up to and through the Olympics.

“I worked so hard over the summer so I know what I’m capable of,” Butler said. “I know every night is not going to be a great shooting night. But when it is a great shooting night, and you’re guarding, passing, rebounding, it all looks good.

“You have to find multiple ways to change the game even when you don’t score 40. I think that’s a part of growing as a player.”

His coach sure appreciates that of Butler.

“He’s shooting the 3 at a pretty high clip right now, a very high clip,” Hoiberg said.

“I think he can continue to get better. When you have that type of athleticism, the type of instincts that he has, he’s going to continue to get better and better. That’s a good thing for us.”

The Bulls finished third in the NBA last season in 3-point percentage (.371), but 21st in overall scoring (101.6 points a game). This season they are 18th in 3-point percentage (.342), but 12th in scoring (105.3 points a game).

Translation: They have the 3-pointer at their disposal, but aren’t relying on it to win games.

“We can score all kinds of ways,” Butler said. “Putting the ball in the basket is all that matters.”
