Ever consider putting on a Santa costume and running for a good cause?

Believe it or not, you could join about 1,000 Santas and do exactly that this weekend in downtown Crystal Lake.

The fifth annual Kiwanis Santa Run will be held Sunday morning at the Raue Center for the Arts.

Just imagine being a part of the photo above and contributing to charity at the same time.

Last year’s event raised $35,000 for Turning Point of McHenry County, CASA of McHenry County, Girls on the Run of Northwest Illinois, Big Brothers Big Sisters of McHenry County and Main Stay Therapeutic Farm. The same nonprofits, along with the Kiwanis Club of Crystal Lake, will benefit from this year’s event.

And if you’re not a runner, joggers and walkers are welcome. A 5K and a 1-mile trek are scheduled.

“This sea of Santas on the first Sunday of December is truly phenomenal. It emulates Americana in a marvelous way,” race director

Marian Central senior develops online service for serious gamers

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com

W

OODSTOCK – Some high school seniors might be struggling to figure out what they want to do as a career, but Marian Central Catholic High School’s Tyler Rambuski-Salzman seems to have his future planned out.

Rambuski-Salzman, 17, has been playing video games since he was a kid, and he really took a liking to competitive gaming, which led the Marian Central senior to follow his passion to another level.

“I got the idea to start my own gaming business,” Rambuski-Salzman said.

With the help of an invest-

ment from his mother, Rambuski-Salzman officially launched his business, GamerCrates, on Oct. 1, 2014.

GamerCrates is a monthly eSports and gaming subscription box with a new theme every month. The company started at his home and moved into a commercial space in Woodstock last January.

“We’ve actually grown by about 800 percent since our first year,” Rambuski-Salzman said.

“We’ve also partnered with major people in the gaming industry by going to events.”

A GamerCrate typically will include a T-shirt, an energy drink and other miscellaneous gear,

Rambuski-Salzman started the eSports and gaming subscription service in 2014, offering a box with a monthly theme packed with gaming gear and other related items for hardcore gamers.

Rambuski-Salzman sits in his GamerCrates office in Woodstock. GamerCrates is not Rambuski-Salzman’s first foray into the business of gaming. He started his own forum called Game ’Til Insane at age 13, then interned as a designer with Anthony Scalzi of Connecticut-based Aporia Customs, which customizes gaming controllers.

McSweeney, Franks: Bills a success if no rise in taxes

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com Two McHenry County lawmakers said they will consider it a success if the separate bills they have filed in Springfield during the last days of session torpedo any effort to raise taxes in the lame-duck legislative session.

In hopes of getting their bills to a vote in the full House by the end of the fall veto season Rep. Jack Thursday, state Reps. Franks David McSweeney and Jack Franks will have both of their bills heard Wednesday morning in the State Government Administration Committee that Franks chairs.

With a six-month stopgap state budget set to expire at the end of the year, both lawmakers said at a Tuesday news conference that they want to eliminate any chance that a “grand compromise” package, which likely would include an income tax increase, would be ramrodded through in the final days of the 99th General Assembly.

House Resolution 1494, filed by McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills, seeks to put House members on record as opposing a lame-duck tax increase.

“I strongly oppose raising the Illinois income tax rate. Raising taxes during a lame-duck session will hurt families and kill jobs,” McSweeney said.

Franks, D-Marengo, filed a proposal to put a constitutional amendment before voters that would require threefifths House and Senate supermajorities to raise taxes between the November election and the seating of the new General Assembly on the second Wednesday of January. Under current law, the three-fifths legislative threshold that kicks in with the end of the spring session May 31 resets back to simple majority on Jan. 1, which gives lawmakers a window after every election to pass controversial legislation without incurring the wrath of voters.

“The actions of unaccountable legislators have been allowed to go unchecked for far too long,” Franks said.

“The idea that a ‘grand bargain’ may be negotiated to pass another tax increase in the final days of session is unacceptable, as it undermines the ability of voters to hold their elected officials accountable.”

The odds of his proposed House Joint Resolution Constitutional Amendment 62 clearing both houses with the needed three-fifths majorities is slim, but Franks said he will declare it a success if the new General Assembly is sworn in Jan. 11 without the previous one raising taxes.

Lawmakers used the lame-duck session after the 2010 election to pass a 67 percent income tax increase on individual filers and 46 percent on businesses.

Rep. David McSweeney It passed without a single Republican vote and with the bare minimum needed in both houses. Twelve lawmakers who were leaving office voted for it, six of whom later ended up with high-paying government jobs – two of them had campaigned against a tax increase before losing their re-election bids.

Illinois has been without a permanent budget since July 2015 because of the stalemate between Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and the Democratic leaders of the General Assembly.

Rauner has signaled that he would be willing to approve a budget that increases taxes, but only if portions of his Turnaround Agenda aimed at reversing Illinois’ economic misfortunes are adopted.

A number of bipartisan working groups have been meeting behind closed doors to discuss compromises, hence the talk of a bargain being struck. Both Franks and McSweeney have harshly criticized the meetings being closed to the public.

Franks is leaving state office to become chairman of the McHenry County Board. McSweeney said he and others will take up the charge in the next session to get the constitutional amendment on the ballot in 2018.

29-year-old Elgin man dies in crash NORTHWEST HERALD

A 29-year-old Elgin man died Monday after a two-vehicle crash near Marengo.

About 7:05 p.m., police and fire officials responded to Route 20 and Harmony Road for a crash between a 2009 International ProStar semi-truck pulling an empty 53-foot trailer and a 2002 Dodge Durango, according to a news release from the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office.

The Dodge was traveling east on Harmony Road and failed to yield at a stop sign, according to a preliminary investigation. The semi-truck was northbound on Route 20 and struck the Dodge in the intersection, causing both vehicles to leave the roadway, police said.

The driver of the Dodge was pronounced dead at the scene, McHenry County Sheriff’s Deputy Tim Creighton said. He was not wearing a seat belt, and air bags were deployed at the time of the crash, police said.

This is the second fatality to happen

at the intersection in the past week.

A Woodstock man was killed after a two-vehicle crash Nov. 23, when a box truck did not stop at the Harmony Road stop sign, police said.

Traffic traveling north and south on Route 20 at Harmony Road does not have a stop sign, Creighton said.

The driver of the semi-truck, a 59-year-old Hanover Park man, is cooperating with the investigation and in good condition, police said.

He initially was taken to Centegra Hospital – Huntley for treatment, police said.

The names of the drivers are not being released pending notification of families.

The crash remains under investigation by the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office Major Traffic Crash Investigations Unit, the Illinois State Police and the McHenry County Coroner’s Office.

McHenry County Conservation District police, Marengo police and the Huntley Fire Protection District also responded.

The Kane County Coroner’s Office has identified the 54-year-old Woodstock man killed in a crash last week as John Burke, also known as John Dimauro.

An autopsy conducted Monday revealed the preliminary cause of death as multiple injuries. Toxicology samples still are being analyzed, according to a news release, and the investigation is ongoing.

The crash occurred about 6:40 p.m.

Nov. 23 at Route 20 and Harmony Road, police said.

A preliminary investigation indicates that a 1999 Ford Expedition

SUV was traveling north on Route 20 at the same time a 2007 Hino 268 box truck was traveling east on Harmony Road.

The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office said the box truck did not stop at the intersection’s stop sign and collided with the Ford.

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

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

CARY – A commuter train struck and killed a pedestrian Tuesday evening in Cary, according to a news release from Cary police.

About 5:10 p.m., someone reported a pedestrian jumping in front of a train near the railroad crossing at Three Oaks Road and Route 14, police said.

The Cary Police Department and Cary Fire Protection District responded to the scene and found the victim northwest of the intersection, police said.

The incident still is under investigation by Cary police, the Metra Police Department and the McHenry County Coroner’s Office.

The identity of the victim was not

released.

The crash caused extensive delays on Metra’s Union Pacific Northwest line.

About the same time as the fatal train crash, Cary police also responded to a two-vehicle crash on Route 14 near Westbury Drive, which caused traffic backups in the area.

One vehicle rolled over, and a 32-year-old Cary woman was issued a traffic citation for making an illegal left turn, police said.

A large amount of fuel spilled because of the crash, and both vehicles were towed, police said.

No one was injured in the vehicle crash.

Crystal Lake police, Fox River Grove police and the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office assisted with traffic control during the incidents.

LOCAL BRIEF $100K winning lottery ticket bought in LITH unclaimed

LAKE IN THE HILLS – Time is out for an Illinois Lottery player who never redeemed a winning $100,000 ticket that was bought in Lake in the Hills.

All five numbers were picked for the Lucky Day Lotto midday drawing on Nov. 18, 2015, Illinois Lottery spokesman Jason Schaumburg said.

The ticket was bought at a Shell gas station, 4231 Algonquin Road, and needed to be turned in within a year of the purchase, Schaumburg said.

The winning numbers for the drawing were 3-6-19-21-32.

Schaumburg said the chances of hitting the jackpot for that game are about 1 in 1.2 million.

One percent of the prize amount, or $1,000, was given to the retailer for selling the ticket, Schaumburg said.

The unclaimed prize money will go toward the common school fund.

Could Castro’s death bring change?

The death of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro last week at the age of 90 seems almost hard to believe. After all, Castro had been out of sight for almost a decade, and rumors of his demise often were greatly exaggerated.

Yet even dictators and defining figures of the 20th century eventually fall victim to the one enemy they cannot outfox or control: death.

The revolution that Castro ushered in with the ouster of military dictator Fulgencio Batista in 1959 no doubt was cause for hope for many in Cuba. The country had been wracked by civil war, and the revolutionaries claimed to be bringing change.

Little did they realize at the time that those promises would be empty ones – the country trading one dictator for yet another.

As a Cold War kid, I can’t remember a time when Castro wasn’t ruling Cuba with an iron grip. Although the Bay of Pigs invasion attempt and the Cuban Missile Crisis took place before I was born, the echoes of those momentous events reverberated through my teen years.

In fact, I had the dubious honor of representing Cuba in the annual Model United Nations held at McHenry Community High

VIEWS Joan Oliver School. My debate partner wanted to represent the Soviet Union and needed a strong ally. Mind you, this had nothing to do with actual sympathies for socialists and everything to do with the opportunity to be agitators during any U.N. floor debates.

However, it did ignite a desire to know more about international relations, and specifically about those Cold War foes of the U.S. Trying to understand Castro and his principal ally, the Soviet Union, would play a major role in the courses I took in college. At one time, I was taking Russian and Spanish language classes, as well as courses in Soviet politics.

Despite how it might have appeared, I was just a naïve Midwestern girl trying to make sense of the world. Oh, and I had a crazy idea that I wanted to be a foreign correspondent. At that time, studying the Soviet Union often meant studying about Castro’s Cuba. Neither were places that any normal-thinking person would want to be, much less emulate.

Abject poverty. Repression. Persecution of political enemies. Lack of a free press.

It is no wonder that over the years thousands have fled Cuba, often risking their lives to make it to Florida’s shores.

Yet, even when the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, taking with it billions of dollars in annual subsidies for Cuba, Castro managed to keep his grasp on his island nation. Even riots in Havana in 1994 did not topple his regime.

Ill health finally led Castro to turn the reins of power over to younger brother Raul in 2008.

Even so, his influence still could be felt, particularly when he would sound off to denounce any softening in policy toward the U.S. Still, a thaw is underway between Cuba and the U.S. Perhaps now that Castro has died, it will be met with less controversy among the hard-liners in Little Havana.

Hope – esperanza in Spanish – has returned to Cuba.

Finalmente (Finally).

WOODSTOCK – The Woodstock Police Department announced the results of an enforcement campaign conducted Nov. 14 to 27 designed to crack down on drivers driving under the influence and violating seat belt laws.

During the Click It or Ticket campaign, Woodstock police joined other state and local law enforcement agencies across Illinois to reduce highway fatalities.

The department issued the following tickets during the campaign: • 24 citations for not using seat-belt restraints • three DUI arrests • 27 citations for using an electronic communication device • one driver’s license expired more

than a year arrest • three uninsured motorist citations Police said that although the annual Click It or Ticket campaign in Woodstock is over, they want to remind drivers that there is no excuse not to use seat belts.

“Woodstock’s police officers are wholly dedicated to the safety and well-being of each of our citizens. If you or your passengers are not wearing a seat belt in a moving vehicle, day or night, you will be cited for the violation,” Woodstock Police Chief John Lieb said.

The law enforcement mobilization was funded by federal traffic safety funds through the Illinois Department of Transportation and is part of the nationwide Click It or Ticket and Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaigns. For information, visit www.idot.illinois.gov.

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – Community Unit School District 300 parents, students and teachers can take a statewide survey to help improve the district’s learning conditions and environment.

From now until Jan. 16, the Illinois 5Essentials survey is available. The research-based survey will take about 25 minutes, allowing people to help identify the strengths and weaknesses of each school in the district. The survey also will allow school officials to see whether there was any progress in areas mentioned as concerns in last year’s survey.

The survey measures a school’s success by determining the effectiveness of its leaders, the strength of environmental support, the ambition of its curriculum, the involvement from parents and

For information about the survey, visit https://illinois.5-essentials.org. the frequency of collaboration among teachers.

According to District 300 officials, University of Chicago research has shown that schools that scored highly on at least three of the 5Essentials were 10 times more likely to improve student reading and math than schools that didn’t.

District 300’s superintendent and principals will get their 5Essentials Reports in March. Survey results will be reported publicly in the fall of 2017 on the Illinois Report Card website.

This year, 18 trees will be featured, said Kristi Brewer, Lake in the Hills recreation supervisor. Participating groups will include the Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts and Lincoln Prairie Elementary School.

• GAMERCRATES

Continued from page A3 such as gaming mouse pads, charging cables and controller grips. Each box features a different theme every month, such as Call of Duty or Mass Effect.

Along with a monthly box full of gaming goodies, GamerCrates also added a Snack Pack service in January, which aims to keep video game enthusiasts energized by providing them with a variety of snacks.

Rambuski-Salzman said what separates his company from similar services is GamerCrates has more gear intended for hardcore gamers.

“We target casual gamers as well, but we’re really focusing our efforts on providing competitive gamers with stuff they need,” Rambuski-Salzman said.

Although it may be difficult going to school during the day before going to the office, Rambuski-Salzman said he’s been able to handle both.

“I do think it’s getting more and more tough to do as we are growing,” Rambuski-Salzman said. “But so far I think I’ve been able to manage it pretty well, especially with the help from my mom.”

When GamerCrates was first created, Rambuski-Salzman had to learn important business practices such as hiring an accountant and expanding his network. He said his toughest initial challenge was creating relationships

“I want to put 100 percent of my focus on my business and see where it goes from there.”

Tyler Rambuski-Salzman Marian Central senior and GamerCrates creater

with vendors and manufacturers.

“All that seems easy now,” Rambuski-Salzman said. “Now that we have these relationships, the quality of our product has gone way up.”

With graduation coming in the spring, Rambuski-Salzman said he plans to focus on his business full time after he graduates.

“I want to put 100 percent of my focus on my business and see where it goes from there,” Rambuski-Salzman said.

After two years of seeing his company grow, the Marian Central senior has some ideas of what’s next.

“They’re all kind of in the early stages right now, so I can’t really discuss them,” Rambuski-Salzman said. “But I’ve got big plans.”

With Christmas coming up in a few weeks, Rambuski-Salzman said he expects to see an increase in subscriptions bought, which cost about $18.49 to $19.99, plus shipping, per month.

December’s theme will be Battlefield 1.

Why you should read to your children at bedtime SPONSORED BY

brain activity after researchers read to them one or two hours a day for eight weeks.

Reading to children has the added benefit of leading to conversation, which also increases language skills.

By Diane Krieger Spivak Cuddling up with little ones for a bedtime story has always been a comforting, relaxing way to get children to fall asleep.

But, did you know that reading to your child offers more benefits than just a peaceful night’s rest?

In addition to improving skills in logic, reading also rewires the brain to make learning language easier, researchers at Yale University and the University of Austin have discovered. There are 44 different sounds in the English language, and when you emphasize those sounds while reading to your child, he/she learns the differences, making reading later on much easier because he/she can recognize those differences.

Researchers are actually able to take electronic images of the brain, which show the differences between a child that has been read to and one that hasn’t, according to Parents magazine. But those who had not been read to showed an increase in

But don’t stop reading to your children after they’ve learned to read themselves. Continuing to read higher level books to a reader — even a fourth or fifth grader — can strengthen their reading skills.

You can do this by reading to them with expression, pausing for punctuation, raising or lowering your voice with the story, speeding up or slowing down in correlation with the tension, according to Scholastic magazine.

Reading aloud to your older elementary-age child can also lead to questions about certain elements in a story that can lead to a quick online search that further increases your child’s learning and vocabulary. It’s a great way to learn about the world and everything in it.

And, no matter what age, don’t forget the best part of reading to your children at bedtime — bonding with your child as he or she unwinds and prepares for a good night of sleep..

2 sentenced to probation in drug case Men pleaded guilty in connection with NIU student’s LSD death

By BRETT ROWLAND

browland@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – A judge on Tuesday sentenced two men who pleaded guilty to drug charges in connection with a Northern Illinois University student’s 2015 death to probation.

Michael R. Kielhack, 21, of the 600 block of Woodbridge Drive in Elgin, and Michael Z. Montgomery, 20, of the 1800 block of Abriter Court in Naperville, were initially charged with giving the hallucinogenic drug LSD to a Northern Illinois University student who later fell to his death from a dormitory window. In October, both pleaded guilty to amended charges of possession of a controlled substance as part of a deal with prosecutors. The crime typically is punishable by one to three years in prison.

DeKalb County Chief Judge Robbin Stuckert sentenced the two former NIU students to a two-year form of probation that could spare them felony con-

of selling the drugs to Northern Illinois University students before the death of 19-year-old NIU geology major Oluwarotimi “Timi” Okedina. Quirke, who pleaded not guilty in May, is next due in court Dec. 12.

Okedina fell Sept. 26, 2015, from an 11th-floor window in a room at Stevenson Towers C building. Toxicology reports showed he had LSD and marijuana in his system when he died.

After Okedina’s death, police learned that he and other students had taken LSD that night. Assistant State’s Attorney Alicia Caplan, who prosecuted the case, said Okedina had a bad reaction to the drug and locked himself in a dorm room. Police said he removed a window screen before accidentally falling to his death.

At a hearing Tuesday, Caplan asked the judge to consider all sentencing options available under the law. She didn’t request a specific punishment.

“I understand the charge is possession of a controlled substance. The circumstances that surround these cases are much larger than that,” the prosecutor said. “It’s an incident that caused someone’s death.”

Michael R. Kielhack Elgin resident

“It will be with me for the rest of my life. This led to me never experimenting with drugs ever again,” he said. “Every day I wish it had never happened.”

Montgomery called that night the “biggest mistake” he’d ever made, and said he had learned from it. “I thought I was a friend to someone. ... I think about it every day,” he said. “It could happen to me, it could happen to anybody.”

If both men successfully complete probation, they could ask a judge to remove the conviction from their record.

In addition to probation, Stuckert ordered both men to get drug and alcohol assessments, submit to three random drug tests and perform 30 hours of community service. They also will be required to pay fines and other costs. Both also will have to prove that they are working or enrolled in college courses.

Kielhack’s attorney, David Camic, and Montgomery’s attorney, Bob Nolan, both praised Stuckert’s fairness in sentencing after the hearing.

• Wednesday, November 30, 2016

Caplan said the case was unusual and acknowledged there were other mitigating factors that needed to be considered.

“It’s unfortunate that a lot of college students view drugs as something they can do that is recreational – that it’s something that no one gets hurt, that it’s something that’s fun to do on weekends,” she said. “Making those decisions can have very serious consequences. In this case, someone died.”

Caplan said that while Kielhack and Montgomery didn’t think that what they were doing at the time could result in the death of one of their classmates, that’s what happened.

Kielhack had asked several friends if they wanted to take LSD that weekend and asked Montgomery if he knew anyone who could get the drugs. In turn, Montgomery contacted Quirke, who drove to DeKalb and gave LSD to Kielhack and others, including Montgomery, Caplan said.

Prosecutors had initially charged all three men with unlawful delivery of a controlled substance, which typically carries a sentence of four to 15 years in prison.

Both Kielhack and Montgomery made brief statements before they were sentenced. Kielhack said that losing a friend “was the most devastating thing.”

“It will be with me for the rest of my life. This led to me never experimenting with drugs ever again.”

Pat Doyle was born May 24, 1954 and called to heaven November 25, 2016.

There was nothing better to see then our Dad’s excitement and happiness when Pat Hughes announced on AM Radio that his beloved Cubs won the World Series. He had each of us – his three kids Kierre, Gracie, and Quinn right there with him. He had nothing but unconditional love for us kids, and could not have been a prouder father.

He loved his precious grand-daughter Lucy and made her breakfast on Sunday mornings and always remembered to bring “Papa Juice.”

It is near impossible to describe this man that was larger than life in only a few words.

He grew up in Gurnee and was a proud graduate of Warren Class of ‘72. He worked hard all his life starting in his parents’ and grandparents’ restaurant The Rustic Manor, into a carpenter, and finally township supervisor of Richmond.

Simple things made him so happy; mowing the lawn, watching his Blackhawks while Uncle Savage would call him in between periods. He loved Notre Dame football with his oldest friends Joe and Brandon, loved his Brat Brew.

STATE

Win for couple in civil union complaint

By SOPHIA TAREEN

“Business owners cannot pick and choose to follow laws simply because they personally disagree with same-sex couples’ decision to marry.”

The Associated Press

CHICAGO – A same-sex couple denied access to a Paxton bed-and-breakfast while planning their civil union ceremony has won another legal victory in a five-year discrimination case that’s highlighted the conflict between religious freedoms and gay civil rights.

Owners of the Timber Creek Bed & Breakfast contend they don’t believe in same-sex unions and refused to consider hosting Todd and Mark Wathen’s ceremony in 2011, the year Illinois legalized same-sex civil unions. However, an administrative judge ruled last year that the owners violated the state’s Human Rights Act because the couple was denied a venue based on sexual orientation.

A three-member panel of the Illinois Human Rights Commission sided with the judge earlier this month by declining to take on the case.

On Tuesday, attorneys with the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois, among several representing the Wathens, said the move is a clear interpretation of Illinois law, whether applied to civil unions or marriage. Illinois legalized same-sex marriage in 2013 and the Wathens have since wed.

News from across the state Illinois House committee approves revised Exelon legislation

SPRINGFIELD – An Illinois House committee has endorsed a revised plan to subsidize state nuclear plants.

The Energy Committee voted, 10-1, to send the legislation to benefit Exelon and two of its Illinois nuclear plants to the House floor.

The plan now would provide $235 million a year for Exelon for 13 years to reward the company because nuclear energy is produced without emitting damaging greenhouse gases. Exelon would use the money to shore up unprofitable nuclear plants in the Quad Cities and Clinton.

“The commission’s decision once again sends a clear message that denying couples the use of a public wedding venue in Illinois because they are gay or lesbian is simply not permitted,” ACLU director John Knight said.

“Business owners cannot pick and choose to follow laws simply because they personally disagree with same-

sex couples’ decision to marry.”

However, Jason Craddock, an attorney for the bed-and-breakfast owners, said he plans to fight the decision.

The owners have been ordered to pay around $80,000 in damages and legal fees and allow same-sex couples access to their facilities. Timber Creek’s website still notes that they do “not

Evanston aldermen pass strengthened ‘welcoming city’ law

CHICAGO – City council members in Evanston have passed legislation strengthening its status as being welcoming to immigrants.

WBEZ reports that the Evanston City Council unanimously passed the measure Monday. It forbids police and city employees from asking about a person’s immigration status and from reporting undocumented immigrants to the federal government.

Several aldermen said they felt the measure was necessary to reassure immigrant communities.

Evanston passed its previous Welcoming City Ordinance in 2008.

The measure comes after President-elect Donald Trump said during the

Reward offered in search for missing Pekin boy

PEKIN – Police are offering a $1,000 reward for information in the disappearance of a 13-year-old boy who has been missing for two weeks.

The Pekin Daily Times reports that Pekin police offered the reward Monday for help in their search for Robert Bee Jr. The boy’s mother reported him missing on Nov. 18. Police designated him a runaway.

Spokesman Mike Eeten says the department dedicated an investigation unit after the boy couldn’t be found for ensuing days.

The boy is 4-foot-6, weighs 110 pounds and was last seen wearing and red and gray shirt, jeans and red shoes.

Police say they haven’t issued an Amber Alert because they don’t have evidence the boy was abducted.

Authorities have issued a Missing and

Craddock said he wasn’t surprised by the panel’s move and was prepared to ask the whole commission to consider the case and, if necessary, take it beyond the agency to an Illinois appellate court.

“We’re going through all the steps,” Craddock said, adding that the owners have been “punished for living out their faith.”

The case was among several that cropped up in response to Illinois legalizing same-sex civil unions. But there hasn’t been a similar response since Illinois began issuing same-sex marriage licenses in 2014, according to the ACLU. The following year, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that gay marriage is legal nationwide.

Slain man’s fiancee accuses alleged gang member

CHICAGO – The fiancee of a federal informant allegedly killed by a purported street-gang leader told jurors that she recognized the masked gunman as he ambushed her family in Dolton.

Shanice Peatry testified Monday that the man shot her fiance, Keith Daniels, while the couple and their two children were outside her apartment in April 2013. Peatry said she recognized the gunman’s eyes and his dreadlocks sticking out from his mask.

“It was so many (shots), I couldn’t count,” Peatry said. “It kind of felt like it was in slow motion to me, like he wasn’t in no rush.”

When asked to identify the gunman in court, Peatry pointed at Paris Poe, an alleged Hobos gang leader.

“Him, right there,” she said in a barely audible voice.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Arrests during protests for herd, which roams an area of north-central Alaska about the higher minimum wages

CHICAGO – Dozens of people were arrested Tuesday as they participated in protests nationwide for a $15-per-hour minimum wage.

Fast-food restaurant workers and home and child-care workers rallied in cities including Chicago, Detroit, Houston, Los Angeles, Minneapolis and New York.

In many cities the protesters blocked busy intersections.

In Chicago, hundreds of protesters at O’Hare International Airport chanted outside terminals: “What do we want? $15!

When do we want it? Now!” Police gated an area to allow travelers room to walk.

Price, Obamacare foe, to oversee health care

By STEVE PEOPLES and RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Reaching deep into conservative territory, President-elect Donald Trump chose Georgia Rep. Tom Price to oversee the nation’s health care system on Tuesday, picking a fierce Obamacare critic who also has championed efforts to privatize Medicare. Trump selected another veteran Republican, Elaine Chao, to lead the Department of Transportation.

Both have long ties to Washington.

Price, picked to lead the Department of Health and Human Services after more than a decade in Congress, helped craft House Speaker Paul Ryan’s plan to privatize Medicare – a position Trump opposed in the campaign. Chao, who was the first Asian-American woman to serve in a president’s Cabinet, is married to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

The selections came as Trump spent Tuesday with advisers in his Manhattan skyscraper, racing through meetings with prospective administration hires as high-profile vacancies loom – none bigger than secretary of State. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, on the shortlist for the nation’s chief diplomat, was to have a private dinner with the incoming president.

At the same time, Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein delivered $3.5 million to the state of Wisconsin to guarantee a recount in one of the states that fueled Trump’s unexpected victory.

Stein, who is also pursuing recounts in Pennsylvania and Michigan, has raised concerns that the results may have been hacked.

Trump has assailed the Green Party effort as a scam

Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga., chairman of the House Budget Committee, appears before the Rules Committee on Jan. 5, joined at right by Rep. John Yarmuth, D-Ky., on Capitol Hill in Washington. Republicans hope Price will preside over the dismantlement of President Barack Obama’s signature health care law. and separately has made unsupported claims of voter fraud in other states.

Meanwhile, Price’s selection raised questions about the incoming president’s commitment to Medicare, among other popular entitlement programs he repeatedly vowed to preserve before the election.

The Georgia congressman led GOP efforts on Capitol Hill to transform Medicare into a voucher-like system, a change that if enacted, would likely dramatically reduce government spending on the health care program that serves an estimated 57 million people.

Trump did not address Price’s position on Medicare in a statement released by his transition team. The team did not respond to subsequent questions about it.

“Chairman Price, a renowned physician, has earned a reputation for being a tireless problem solver and the goto expert on health care policy, making him the ideal choice to serve in this capacity,” Trump said. “He is exceptionally qualified to shepherd our commitment to repeal and replace Obamacare and bring affordable and accessible health care to every American.”

Trump, in a 2015 interview promoted on his campaign website, pledged not to cut expensive entitlement programs that Republicans have fought for years to cut to help reduce the federal deficit.

“I’m not going to cut Social Security like every other Republican. And I’m not going to cut Medicare or Medicaid. Every other Republican’s going to cut,” Trump told the Daily Signal.

He later changed his mind on Medicaid, embracing the GOP concept of turning the program over to the states with a fixed amount of federal “block grant” funding.

Like any Cabinet official, Price would carry out the wishes of the president. And a sweeping Medicare initiative would have to go through Congress wwith some Democratic support, which would be unlikely.

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders charged that Price “has a long history of wanting to do exactly the opposite of what Trump campaigned on.”

“Rep. Price has a long history of wanting to cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. What hypocrisy!” Sanders said in a statement.

Ohio State attacker stewed over treatment of fellow Muslims

Wildfires burn Tuesday near Gatlinburg, Tenn. Thousands of people have fled wildfires that killed at least three people and destroyed hundreds of homes and a resort in the Great Smoky Mountains.

Escaping wildfires meant fleeing through hell-like landscape

By STEVE MEGARGEE and JONATHAN MATTISE The Associated Press

GATLINBURG, Tenn. – With flames dripping from tree branches and the air filled with embers, thousands of people raced through a hellish landscape as they fled wildfires that killed three people and destroyed hundreds of homes and a resort in the Great Smoky Mountains.

Fanned by hurricane-force winds, the flames reached the doorstep of Dollywood, the theme park named after country music legend and local hero Dolly Parton. But the attraction was spared significant damage.

The fires spread quickly on Monday night, when winds topping 87 mph whipped up the flames, catching residents and tourists in the Gatlinburg area by surprise. Police banged on front doors and told people to get out immediately. Some trekked 20 minutes to catch lifesaving rides on trolleys usually reserved for tours and wedding parties.

“There was fire everywhere. It was like we were in hell,” said Linda Monholland, who was working at Park View Inn in Gatlinburg when she and five other people fled on foot. “Walking through hell, that’s what it was. I can’t believe it. I never want to see something like that again in my life, ever.”

“Hell opened up,” her co-worker Sissy Stinnett said.

In all, more than 14,000 residents and tourists were forced to evacuate the tourist city in the mountains, where some hotspots persisted and a curfew in place Tuesday night.

No details on the deaths were imme-

diately available. More than a dozen people were injured.

The extent of the damage began to emerge even as smoke from the wildfires lingered late Tuesday afternoon.

The Castle, perhaps the largest and most iconic home in Gatlinburg, was destroyed. So was Cupid’s Chapel of Love, a wedding venue.

Entire churches were gone. Scorched cars parked outside set on their rims after their tires had melted away. The only sound came from the eerie screech of hotel fire alarms echoing through the empty streets.

Some Christmas decorations on lampposts and utility poles were on fire.

Marci Claude, a spokeswoman for both the city and the Gatlinburg Convention and Visitors Bureau, choked up as she surveyed the damage for the first time on a media tour.

“I’m just astonished this is my town,” she said.

On an aerial and driving tour of the damage in and around Gatlinburg, Gov. Bill Haslam said he was struck by the seemingly random nature of the fire that destroyed some structures and left others untouched. Noting that much of the downtown entertainment district was undamaged, Haslam said “it just could have been so much worse.”

As darkness fell on the area near the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, open flames could still be seen burning near razed homes.

A line of strong to marginally severe storms was expected in east Tennessee on Tuesday night and into early Wednesday morning, with damaging straight-line winds of up to 60 mph and lightning possible.

COLUMBUS, Ohio – A Somali-born student who carried out a car-and-knife attack at Ohio State University stewed over the treatment of Muslims while apparently staying under the radar of federal law enforcement, underscoring the difficulty authorities face in identifying and stopping lone wolves bent on violence.

Abdul Razak Ali Artan was not known to FBI counterterrorism authorities before Monday’s rampage, which ended with him shot to death by police and 11 people injured, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press.

That’s in contrast to several other recent attacks, including those in New York City; Orlando, Florida; and Garland, Texas, in which those blamed for the violence had previously come to the attention of federal agents.

Law enforcement officials have not identified a motive for the Ohio State violence but have suggested terrorism as a possibility. FBI agents continued to search Artan’s apartment for clues, but California U.S. Rep. Adam Schiff, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said he had seen no evidence Artan was directed by or was in communication with any overseas terror organization.

The mode of attack – plowing a car into civilians, then slashing victims with a butcher knife – was in keeping with the recommended tactics of jihadist propaganda. And Facebook

posts that were apparently written shortly before the attack and came to light afterward show that Artan nursed grievances against the U.S. He railed against U.S. intervention in Muslim lands and warned, “If you want us Muslims to stop carrying lone wolf attacks, then make peace” with the Islamic State group.

“America! Stop interfering with other countries, especially the Muslim Ummah. We are not weak. We are not weak, remember that,” he wrote, using the Arabic term for the world’s Muslim community.

He also warned that other Muslims are in sleeper cells, “waiting for a signal. I am warning you Oh America!”

The posts were recounted by a law enforcement official who was briefed on the investigation but wasn’t authorized to discuss it publicly and spoke on the condition of anonymity.

On Tuesday, a self-described Islamic State news agency called Artan “a soldier of the Islamic State” who “carried out the operation in response to calls to target citizens of international coalition countries.” The Islamic State group has described other attackers around the world as its “soldiers” without specifically claiming to have organized the acts of violence.

Artan’s social media rants seemed at odds with the portrait of the young man painted by neighbors and acquaintances.

Jack Ouham, owner of a market near the home on the outskirts of Columbus where Artan lived with his parents and siblings, saw him almost every day when he stopped in for snacks but never alcohol or cigarettes.

LA UNION, Colombia – Colombian authorities searched for answers Tuesday into the crash of a chartered airliner that slammed into the Andes mountains while transporting a Brazilian soccer team whose Cinderella story had won it a spot in the finals of one of South America’s most prestigious regional tournaments. All but six of the 77 people on board were killed.

The British Aerospace 146 shorthaul plane declared an emergency and lost radar contact just before 10 p.m.

Monday, according to Colombia’s aviation agency. It said the plane’s black boxes had been recovered and were being analyzed.

The aircraft, which departed from Santa Cruz, Bolivia, was carrying the Chapecoense soccer team from southern Brazil for Wednesday’s first leg of the two-game Copa Sudamericana final against Atletico Nacional of Medellin.

Twenty-one Brazilian journalists were also on board the flight.

Colombian officials initially said the plane suffered an electrical failure but there was also heavy rainfall at the

families over Facebook.

Brazil’s top teams offered to lend the small club players next season so they can rebuild following the sudden end to a fairy tale season that saw Chapecoense reach the tournament final just two years after making it into the first division for the first time since the 1970s. “It is the minimum gesture of solidarity that is within our reach,” the teams said in a statement.

Sportsmanship also prevailed, with Atletico Nacional asking that the championship title be given to its rival, whose upstart run had electrified soccer-crazed Brazil.

Rescuers working through the night were initially heartened after pulling three people alive from the wreckage.

But as the hours passed, heavy fog and stormy weather grounded helicopters and slowed efforts to reach the crash site.

At daybreak, dozens of bodies scattered across a muddy mountainside were collected into white bags. They were then loaded onto several Black Hawk helicopters that had to perform a tricky maneuver to land on the crest of the Andes mountains. The plane’s fuselage appeared to have broken into two, with the nose facing downward into a steep valley.

It’s time for AFSCME to show its hand In a month filled with horrible fiscal news, a ruling by the Illinois Labor Board could serve as the catalyst to starting the long process of improving the disaster otherwise known as the state’s finances.

The Labor Board unanimously ruled Nov. 15 contract talks between the state and Council 31 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees are at an impasse. That allowed Gov. Bruce Rauner’s administration to impose its contract terms on the union that represents about 38,000 state employees – and the governor started taking some of those steps the next day. The state notified workers of its intent to implement an employee merit pay plan and extend the work week to 40 hours before overtime is paid.

AFSCME has said it plans to appeal the ruling.

The union says it wants Rauner to return to the bargaining table and work on a contract that should have started July 1, 2015.

Rauner is under no obligation to negotiate. We recommend he does, but only – and this is mandatory in our eyes – if a hard-and-fast expiration date is set so both sides come ready to negotiate. AFSCME must come to the table with a proposal that indicates the union understands just how precarious Illinois’ finances are. Waking up from the state’s fiscal nightmare is going to cause pain. It’s unfair for pretty much everyone, and sadly, we’ve a long way to go before the agony ceases. Keeping the bigger picture in mind when considering any state expense commitment is mandatory.

AFSCME has a harder task than other unions in negotiations because of the breadth of employees it represents. While the governor’s office points to the 18 unions that have settled contract talks with it, those unions combined represent about 5,000 people and are more likely to represent one type of employee. AFSCME has employees who range from caregivers for people with disabilities to corrections officers, and there is a correspondingly huge range in pay.

AFSCME told this editorial board it hasn’t presented its last/best offer. Here’s their chance: Publicly release it. Let the public know what you’re asking for, so taxpayers can judge the merits. Make it compelling, so the governor’s administration would look unreasonable to not give it consideration.

A return to the bargaining table, with a firm date for an agreement set, could give taxpayers the decision they deserved months ago.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Fraud accusations endanger democracy The recent presidential campaign eroded custom after custom, but in the end the legitimacy of the results and the sanctity of the peaceful transition of power were reaffirmed. Or so it seemed.

Once the electoral college vote was clear, Hillary Clinton graciously conceded to President-elect Donald Trump, and President Barack Obama promised to work for a smooth transition. Neither emphasized the fact Clinton won the popular vote.

Then Jill Stein, the Green Party presidential nominee, pressed for recounts in a handful of swing states, based on thin suspicions of election tampering. The Clinton campaign indicated it saw little reason to initiate a recount or any other kind of inquiry, but announced it would join in anyway so its representatives would be present for any official review.

The likely results of Stein’s recount effort are twofold: enhancing her fundraising and sowing

unfounded doubts in Americans’ minds about the integrity of the election.

Yet it was Trump’s reaction that was the most corrosive. The president-elect lashed out on Twitter on Sunday.

“In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally,” Trump wrote, offering zero evidence for the incendiary charge.

The president-elect appeared to be repeating a debunked story circulating on conspiracy-peddling right-wing websites that claims millions of noncitizens voted.

Trump is the president-elect.

He above all others bears responsibility to safeguard and defend the integrity of the nation’s democratic government. Instead, he illogically attacked the very system that resulted in his victory. For those who hoped

as president-elect he would be slower to take offense than he had been as candidate, and less willing to trade in lies, the tweet came as one more disappointment.

Trump’s overreaction suggests he is not prepared for the responsibilities of the presidency or the scrutiny that comes with it.

The nation, in fact, does have a voting problem, but it is not the imaginary fraud Trump conjures.

Rather, it is a system that makes it too difficult for citizens to cast their votes. Registration procedures are unnecessarily restrictive. Early voting opportunities are needlessly limited. Lines are way too long. Names are too easily purged from voter rolls.

Election equipment lacks paper trails in some states.

Yet, if Trump’s preoccupation with phantom voting fraud is any indication, his administration may spend a lot of time making ballot access worse, not better.

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

The Washington Post

VIEWS Scott Reeder that scores a lot of three-point shots wins even when they made fewer baskets than their opponents.

That’s just the way it works.

I suppose a loser could holler their team made the most baskets.

And most folks would file it away as “interesting but not relevant.”

As I noted in last week’s column, I did not vote for Donald Trump. In fact, I dislike his brand of politics.

But what I do value is the rule of law.

Presidents are elected in this country by the Electoral College, not the popular vote.

Counting Trump, five of the 44 men elected president have lost the popular vote. That’s one out of 10 presidents. So, it’s hardly an unknown phenomenon in our history.

Hillary Clinton supporters can shout she won the popular vote by 2 million ballots. I can just shrug and file that away as “interesting but irrelevant.”

Like basketball, you play by the

rules you have, not the ones you want. And the Electoral College has been around since the election of George Washington.

It’s a provision in the Constitution that always has had its critics.

In fact, over the history of our country, there have been at least 700 proposed amendments to modify or abolish the Electoral College – more than any other subject of Constitutional reform.

But each one of the provisions has failed.

Each state has as many electors as it does U.S. Senators and members of the U.S. House of Representatives. Since all states have the same number of senators, it gives a slight, but at times significant, added weight to votes from less populated jurisdictions such as Wyoming or South Dakota.

The framers of the U.S. Constitution did this because they wanted to ensure big states didn’t dominate smaller states. In fact, the provision granting each state equal representation in the Senate is the only part of the Constitution that can never be amended.

Back in the 1960s, American Basketball Association Commis-

sioner George Mikan, the pioneer of the three-point field goal, said the three-pointer would give the smaller player a chance to score more often.

Framers of the constitution were thinking something similar. They wanted to ensure smaller states in the union would continue to have influence so they created the Electoral College.

Those who don’t like this arrangement can work to amend the Constitution. Complaining about the system being “rigged” diminishes your cause – and your candidate.

Elections have consequences, and your candidate lost.

And it’s impossible to say who would have won the popular vote if there wasn’t an Electoral College because the strategies of both campaigns were predicated not on winning the popular vote but collecting more than 270 electors.

They were playing by the rules that were in place, not the ones they may have wanted.

IT’S YOUR WRITE Village fighting billboards to protect values, aesthetics

To the Editor: Several weeks ago, a new billboard sign was put in place on Algonquin Road between the bike path bridge and Pyott Road. The subject matter is for a “gentleman’s” club many miles from Algonquin. The sign location is unincorporated and outside of our jurisdiction. The village board and I fought to prevent billboard signs from being erected in proximity of our village for just this reason. I have contacted those who have jurisdiction over this matter to ask again for their assistance in removing billboard signs from any location near our community. Simply stated, our families should not have to worry about exposing their children to explicit content and suggestive images when traveling area roads.

The village board and I will continue to work on your behalf to eliminate these signs and protect the values and

aesthetics of our community.

AMES, Iowa – I remember watching my older brother, Danny, dribbling down the court and me wiggling uncomfortably in the bleachers, staring at my blue Keds and asking, “How do we know who wins?”

Someone patiently explained the team with the most baskets wins.

I guess that was a good enough explanation for a 4-year-old, and that’s usually the way things worked out.

But not always.

You see in basketball, a basket can count as one, two or three points. So occasionally the team with the fewest baskets wins.

The same could be said for democracy. Sometimes the candidate who receives the most votes loses.

I was thinking about that Nov. 20 as I sat high in the seats of Hilton Coliseum with two of my college buddies, Doug and Fred. I watched my beloved Iowa State Cyclones set a new all-time school scoring record as they played the Citadel.

Player after player sank 3-point shots quite a distance from the basket.

For-profit colleges expect fortunes under Trump

By COLLIN BINKLEY The Associated Press

BOSTON – After nearing collapse under the Obama administration, the for-profit college industry is celebrating Donald Trump’s election as a chance for a rebound.

As stock prices for some of the nation’s largest college chains have surged, industry lobbyists say they have received a warm welcome from Trump’s transition team and already have launched a campaign to rebrand the embattled industry as a key to the new president’s plan for economic growth.

While Trump has yet to detail his education plan, some in the for-profit sector see the president-elect as an ally who has championed the private sector and promised to roll back many of President Barack Obama’s regulations.

Industry lobbyists hope those include federal “gainful employment” rules, which can cut funding to academic programs whose graduates struggle to pay off student debt, and new borrower defense rules that can force financially unstable schools to put up large sums of money to cover student loans if the school fails.

“Unfortunately, the focus in the last eight years has been fighting for survival from an ideological administration that was opposed to our very existence, and hopefully that is a fight we will no longer have to wage,” said Steve Gunderson, president of the industry lobbying group Career Education Colleges and Universities and a former Republi-

Gunderson said that early conversations with Trump’s transition team showed promise for a smoother relationship with the White House.

“They absolutely see a place for postsecondary career education which is not exclusively constructed around just four-year liberal-arts programs,” Gunderson said.

Trump’s transition team did not respond to requests for comment.

The for-profit college industry has suffered steep enrollment losses since 2010. Many schools blame Obama, whose administration has cracked

down on schools accused of fraud and added new regulations that officials say were meant to protect students from abuse.

In September, the ITT Technical Institute chain shut down after the federal government mostly barred it from enrolling new students as a sanction for academic troubles. A month later, the Apollo Education Group, owner of the University of Phoenix, told investors that it might not survive the policies of another Democratic president.

Trump, who graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, spoke little about for-profit colleges during his cam-

paign. His pick for education secretary, Betsy DeVos, is known for promoting charter schools and school vouchers but has less of a track record when it comes to higher education. DeVos did not respond to a request for comment.

Still, critics expect that Trump will loosen the reins on for-profit colleges, and some see parallels between those schools and the Republican’s now-defunct Trump University. This month, Trump agreed to pay $25 million to settle three fraud lawsuits filed against his Trump University real-estate seminars, although he didn’t admit fault.

Ben Miller, senior director for postsecondary education at the liberal think tank Center for American Progress, said it’s revealing that the industry is celebrating someone accused of misconduct “that resembles the worst practices of that industry.”

But Miller and other critics doubt the sector will see a major rebound because its image has already been tarnished.

To repair its reputation, Gunderson’s group is rebranding the industry as a key to Trump’s plan for economic growth. This month, the schools Gunderson represents promised to train 5 million skilled workers over the next decade, echoing Trump’s promise to create 25 million jobs in that span.

“Our sector needs to reintroduce ourselves to the policymakers,” Gunderson said.

Four-year for-profit colleges enrolled an estimated 1.1 million undergraduates in spring 2016, according to the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center, a nonprofit research group.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2016

NEW YORK – Lionsgate has partnered best-selling author Pat Rothfuss with composer and writer Lin-Manuel Miranda for an ambitious TV and film adaptation of the fantasy trilogy “The Kingkiller Chronicles.”

The film studio said Tuesday that it will develop and produce the feature film franchise, as well as a TV drama series that expands on the world outside of Rothfuss’ books. There also is an option for a stage adaptation.

Miranda, creator of the Broadway hit “Hamilton,” will serve as producer of the franchise and will compose original music, as well as write the songs. Rothfuss will be executive producer for both film and television.

Young wants Obama to end ‘violence’ at pipeline protest

Filmmaker Oliver Stone accepts the IFP “Tribute” award Monday at the 26th annual Gotham Independent Film Awards at Cipriani Wall Street in New York.

‘Moonlight’ shines brightest at Trump-focused Gotham Awards NEW YORK – At a Gotham Independent Film Awards overshadowed by the election of Donald Trump, Barry Jenkins’ coming-of-age drama “Moonlight” shined brightest. A celebrated film about a boy growing up gay, black and poor in Miami, “Moonlight” virtually swept the night, taking best feature, best screenplay, a special jury award for best ensemble and the audience award. The Gothams, which honor independent film, are essentially the kickoff to Hollywood’s long awards season.

Monday night’s ceremony, hosted in Manhattan by Keegan-Michael Key, also served as the first opportunity for the film industry – or at least a sizable chunk of its more East Coast, indie contingent – to formally gather since the election. It gave much of Hollywood (which overwhelmingly backed Hilary Clinton) a chance to commiserate over drinks, try out punchlines and make a rallying cry for art’s political power.

Key, half of the former Comedy Central duo “Key and Peele,” opened, with deadpan sarcasm, with what he said was a four-week-old monologue.

“Ladies and gentlemen, we are so grateful that we live in a country that celebrates diversity,” Key said. Later, he gave up the guise and spoke earnestly. “Our voices need to be heard now,” he said.

It was fitting then that “Moonlight” dominated the evening. The string of awards had the cast – which features newcomers Trevante Rhodes, Ashton Sanders and Alex R. Hibbert playing the young protagonist in three chapters – frequently dancing arm-in-arm while the Gotham crowd stood to applaud.

Although “Moonlight,” based on Tarell Alvin McCraney’s play, has some big-name backers (Brad Pitt’s Plan B produced it), Jenkins played the role of the underdog.

BISMARCK, N.D. – Neil Young is calling on President Barack Obama “to step in and end” what he called the “violence” against protesters demonstrating against an oil pipeline being built in North Dakota near an Indian reservation.

In an open letter on Facebook posted Monday, the 71-year-old rock star called the protest at the Standing Rock Indian Reservation “an awakening.” He said demonstrators are “standing strong in the face of outrageous, unnecessary and violent aggression.” He said law enforcement agencies and the National Guard are “seemingly acting to protect the interests of the Dakota Access Pipeline profiteers” with taxpayer money.

Young also chided President-elect Donald Trump, labeling him the “surprise president.”

The letter is signed by Young and his girlfriend, actress Daryl Hannah.

Young included a video of him singing against the backdrop of the protest camp.

Parton heartbroken by wildfires torching hometown

ATLANTA – Country music icon Dolly Parton said she’s heartbroken about wildfires that tore through the Tennessee county where she grew up but spared the Dollywood theme park that bears her name.

In a statement released Tuesday by her publicists, Parton said she’s been watching the “terrible fires” in the Great Smoky Mountains. At least 14,000 people have been forced to evacuate the tourist area of

Gatlinburg, Tennessee, and a dozen people have been injured in the wildfires.

“I am praying for all the families affected by the fire and the firefighters who are working so hard to keep everyone safe,” she said.

In a video released just hours before the wildfires engulfed Gatlinburg and areas around Pigeon Forge, Parton urged people to prevent forest fires.

Parton appears with Smokey Bear in the 30-second video released Sunday by Great Smoky Mountains National Park. She told people to avoid burning leaves and parking vehicles on dry grass, and warns that even a campfire can spark a wildfire.

Driver who struck Tracy Morgan’s van pleads guilty

NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. – The truck driver who slammed into the back of a van carrying actor-comedian Tracy Morgan and several other people, killing one of them, pleaded guilty Tuesday and could avoid jail time.

Kevin Roper entered the plea in state Superior Court to vehicular homicide and four counts of aggravated assault.

Roper was driving a Wal-Mart truck in June 2014 when he crashed into Morgan’s van on the New Jersey Turnpike. The group was returning from Morgan’s show in Delaware.

The 37-year-old Jonesboro, Georgia, resident also had faced an aggravated manslaughter count, which is punishable by a 10- to 30-year prison term on conviction. Vehicular homicide carries a 10-year maximum prison sentence.

Device allows DIY breast reconstruction

Still under review by FDA, AeroForm lets women regain control, do part at home

By MARILYNN MARCHIONE The Associated Press

This might be the ultimate do-ityourself project: Doctors are testing a device that would let women do part of their own breast reconstruction at home.

It’s aimed at not only making treatment more comfortable and convenient, but also giving women a sense of control – something cancer often takes away.

More than 100,000 women each year in the United States have surgery to remove a cancerous breast, and many of them choose reconstruction with an implant. To make room for a permanent one, many of them get a tissue expander, a temporary pouch that is gradually enlarged with saline to stretch the remaining skin and muscle.

This means trips to the doctor every week or two for several months for injections of saline into the pouch, which can be a painful ordeal.

“We would put as much saline as we could until basically the patient would say, ‘I can’t stand it anymore,’ ” said Dr. Daniel Jacobs, a Kaiser Permanente plastic surgeon in San Jose, California.

While biking home one day, Jacobs had an idea: Why couldn’t a tiny can of compressed gas, like the one he carries to fix a flat tire, be used to let women inflate their own tissue expanders, a little each day so there is less stretching at a time and less pain?

He helped found a company – AirXpanders Inc. of Palo Alto, California – to develop the device, called AeroForm. It’s sold in Australia, approved in Europe and under review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Its use requires no special training, wires or tubes – just a palmsized remote control that activates a tiny cartridge inside the pouch to pump gas, up to three times a day according to how the woman feels.

In a company-sponsored study of 150 women, AeroForm patients finished tissue expansion in half the time and were able to get implants a month sooner than others who had the usual saline treatments, said the study leader, Dr. Jeffrey Ascherman, a plastic surgeon at New York-Presbyterian/Columbia Medical Center in New York.

Doctors are testing the device that would let women contribute to the breast reconstruction process at home. It is aimed at not only making treatment more comfortable and convenient, but also giving women a sense of control – something cancer often takes away.

“My patients love it,” he said.

When some women who agreed to be in the study learned they had been assigned to get the saline device for comparison, “I had one who started crying, and other women said, ‘please Dr. Ascherman, can’t you change it?’ ” he said.

There was no difference in rates of side-effects such as infections, but seven of the air expanders malfunctioned versus only one saline one,

Ascherman said. The device was tweaked to fix the problem, he said.

“It’s a really interesting concept,” said one outside expert, Dr. Deanna Attai, a University of California, Los Angeles, surgeon who is a past president of the American Society of Breast Surgeons.

“Giving the patient a sense of control is very psychologically important,” because many women feel robbed of that, Attai said. “To a patient that’s going through cancer treatment that could be a big deal.”

Dr. Susan E. Downey, a Los Angeles plastic surgeon who used the AeroForm on two patients in the study, said: “I think it will make life easier for a lot of people.”

It did for 35-year-old Luincys Fernandez, a high school chemistry teacher who lives in Bogota, New Jersey, and teaches in New York.

She was diagnosed with breast cancer a year ago, when pregnant with her second son, and used the AeroForm as part of the study.

“I really, really liked it,” she said.

She carried the remote control in her purse and completed the tissue expansion in just 18 days.

“It did not interrupt any of my daily activities. I could go back to normal. I could see the results right away and I could see where I wanted it to go” in terms of size and appearance, she said.

The device comes in three sizes.

Women can choose the amount of inflation up to a point, limited by how much tissue is left and how far the device can expand. Once fully expanded, the device is removed and replaced with a breast implant.

In Australia, AeroForm costs more than saline expanders but requires fewer office visits, so costs are not directly comparable. In the U.S., tissue expansion generally is reimbursed at a flat rate that is part of breast reconstruction, and AeroForm’s impact on this cost – if the device wins FDA approval – is not clear.

The study

Researchers analyzed nationally representative government surveys

9 percent – Rate of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias in adults ages 65 and older in 2012 12 percent – Rate of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias in adults ages 65 and older in 2000 45 percent – Older adults with at least 13 years of education in 2012 33 percent – Older adults with at least 13 years of education in 2000 of about 10,500 older adults in both years, including some living in nursing homes. They were interviewed and given mental tests by phone or in person; spouses or relatives responded for those impaired by dementia or other illness.

The dementia rate declined amid a rise in diabetes and heart disease.

Both increase risks for Alzheimer’s and other dementias, but the researchers say better treatment for both diseases may explain the results.

Obesity rates also increased, while dementia was most common among underweight adults. Previous

research has shown weight loss may precede dementia by several years and late-life obesity may be healthier than being underweight. But a journal editorial says more research is needed to determine whether excess pounds in older age somehow protect the brain.

Aging numbers

Dementia was most common in the oldest adults; in 2012 almost 30 percent of adults ages 85 and older were afflicted versus just 3 percent of those 65-74.

The number of adults ages 85 and older rapidly is rising and expected to triple by mid-century. John Haaga, director of the National Institute on Aging’s behavior and social research division, said dementia rates would have to decline much more sharply than they have to counteract that trend.

The Alzheimer’s Association estimates about 5 million people ages 65 and older have Alzheimer’s, and that is expected to rise to almost 14 million by 2050.

Education’s role

The average education level

climbed during the study. About 45 percent of older adults had at least 13 years of education in 2012, versus about 33 percent in 2000.

Previous studies have found less dementia in highly educated people, but it isn’t known whether education somehow protects the brain from dementia or whether it helps people compensate for brain changes linked with Alzheimer’s or other dementias.

Studies on brain-training exercises have had conflicting results.

Bottom line

Haaga said more research is needed to explain the education-dementia link and to explore potential treatments that mimic the effects of education to stave off dementia.

Meantime, experts say there are ways to help keep your brain healthy.

That includes avoiding smoking, eating healthy foods and getting plenty of exercise. Experts also advise staying mentally active – take a class, learn a new skill or hobby.

“There is reason to hope that you’re not doomed if you didn’t get massive education early in life,” Haaga said.

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.

CHICAGO – New research documents another decline in dementia rates, but experts say the rising numbers of older Americans may halt that trend unless better ways are found to keep brains healthy.

The study shows the rate of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias in adults ages 65 and older dropped to about 9 percent in 2012 from nearly 12 percent in 2000, continuing a decline noted in earlier research.

Older adults with the most schooling had the lowest dementia rates, and the average education level increased during the study years.

Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia, which also can be caused by strokes, Parkinson’s disease and other conditions.

Led by University of Michigan researchers, the study was published in JAMA Internal Medicine. The National Institute on Aging paid for the research.

Dr. K: Goodbye and thank you Dear Readers: Elton John sang “Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word,” but for me the hardest word is “Goodbye.”

Every goodbye is an ending. Long before life ends, individual pieces of that life end. Many of those little endings are the close of something you cherish – something that brought meaning or pleasure to your life.

Today’s column will be my last. I’ve been writing this column for more than five years. At age 75, I’ve decided to slow down. The time required to write a column six days a week, 52 weeks a year, makes that hard.

Even though this is the right decision for me, I regret having to make it. Your questions have been interesting and remarkably wide-ranging: “Is it safe to swaddle a baby?” “How does Alzheimer’s wreak so much havoc in the brain?”

“When we lose memories, do we lose them forever?”

I doubt you assumed I was an oracle who could just write the answer to every question off the top of my head. Indeed, I leaned heavily on the knowledge of many colleagues at Harvard Medical School, and I did my homework. I learned a lot, and I hope I was helpful to you.

Above all, I love the process of trying to clearly explain things that can be pretty complicated. I tried to do that for the more than 1,500 columns I wrote. Each one gave me pleasure. And your letters and emails thanking me for my efforts added greatly to that pleasure.

Were there any themes that ran through my columns? There were at least two. The first is, through the lifestyle we choose, we can do more to improve our health than anything our doctor can do for us. For example, through lifestyle we

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff can reduce our risk of getting Type 2 diabetes (the most common kind) by nearly 70 percent. No medicine yet invented can do that.

The second theme is we need to do more to support biomedical research.

Most of that support comes from our federal tax dollars. Biomedical science has progressed so rapidly in the past 50 years we have the power to make major advances. Yet there is not enough money in the budget to fund many worthy projects, slowing progress. Who decides how much money is spent on medical research in our democracy? We, the people.

Although today’s column is my last, I’m pleased three members of the faculty at the UCLA School of Medicine will be starting a new column, “Ask the Doctors,” which will appear in the many papers where my column appeared. This closes a circle for me, since I grew up practically next door to that prestigious institution.

I want, in particular, to thank Urmila Parlikar, who has helped me to gather and organize information for this column with remarkable skill and dedication.

In addition, Alan McDermott and Shena Wolf, the column’s editors, have added elegance and clarity to every column.

I will miss you, and miss writing for you. Thank you again for all of your kind words over the years. And goodbye.

• Dr. Komaroff is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School.

HOW TO PLAY Each row, column and set of 3-by-3 boxes must contain the numbers 1 through 9 without repetition.

more clearly defined what “prone to seduction” means. Was he saying because years ago he had little success with women he is enjoying the attention?

While you might be willing to “do anything” to have him all to yourself, if this man craves variety and is trying to make up for lost time, there’s nothing you can do to dissuade him. The two of you appear to be at very different places in your lives. If you want a man who is willing to have an exclusive relationship, you’re going to have to look elsewhere.

Dear Abby: I was just offered a huge promotion at my company. It will mean more than a 40 percent increase in pay, which is unheard of in my company, which has more than 10,000 employees. People in my department are not taking it well. Even my director did not congratulate me.

Taking on this new endeavor kind of scares me. I have had a tough year in my current position, and this new job is tailored to me. My current manager – who is new to the department – feels this job was meant for me.

I know the team I will be working with, and I have a feeling I will love it. I’m just scared of setting myself up for failure. My boss and new manager are giving me a great opportunity, and I don’t want to let anyone down. – Unsure In

recently started seeing a selfmade entrepreneur. He’s intelligent, and basically the most amazing man I have ever been with.

Because of his position and stature, many beautiful and sophisticated women throw themselves at him. A friend of his told me in the months I’ve known him, he has had sex with at least five other women, several on the first date.

I’m not angry about it since we never formally agreed to be exclusive, but I’m in love with him and want him all to myself. When I confronted him, he said because he never had success with women previously, he is prone to seduction. He said they didn’t mean anything to him and he wants to be with me.

I have dropped the matter for now, but I’m still concerned. I have tried to step up my game in the bedroom, and I’m willing to do anything to stop him from looking elsewhere. How do I make him give up his harem? – Willing To Do

Boers to retire in January Longtime WSCR the Score sports talk radio host Terry Boers announced Tuesday he will retire Jan. 5 after 25 years with the station. He wrote in a column on the Score’s website, “This has been the worst year of my life health-wise. I’ve been forced to miss way more time than I ever dreamed I would.

There’s no part of me that thought I would ever be gone for more than four months following a major surgery that continues to plague me. And as you read this, know that I have already had a second surgery done on Nov. 1. It wasn’t as complicated as the first, but a surgery nonetheless.”

What to watch NBA: L.A. Lakers at Bulls, 7 p.m., CSN The Bulls return home after going 4-2 on their annual “circus trip,” which included a 118-110 victory over the Lakers.

CRYSTAL LAKE – After McHenry jumped on a loose ball near midcourt late in the fourth quarter, senior guard Julia Rice raised her hands, looking for the ball and an opportunity.

Rice got the ball, rushed upcourt and hit a running shot in the lane while getting fouled by Prairie Ridge, giving the Warriors a much-needed basket with the Wolves looking to climb back into Tuesday’s Fox Valley Conference girls basketball game.

“I kind of just saw it as a chance to capitalize on a mistake by them and just take it down all the way,” said Rice, who scored six of her 10 points in the fourth quarter. “Not think about it, I just wanted to score and put the ball in the hoop because I knew it was crucial for us.”

Rice also hit the ensuing foul shot, turning a five-point lead into eight in a matter of seconds and leading the Warriors to a 49-38 FVC win.

“At that point, we needed it to keep the game going,” Rice said. “I think it brought the energy back up. After that, we just stopped thinking and played like we know how to play.”

Rice, who hit 4 of 5 free throws in the fourth, was one of three players to score in double figures for McHenry. Liz Alsot added a game-high 12 points to go with 15 rebounds, and Izzy Gscheidle added 10 points and two 3-pointers for the Warriors (3-3, 2-0 FVC).

McHenry led, 37-30, entering the fourth, but Prairie Ridge cut the lead to four points two times. Rice’s running basket was the first in the fourth quarter for McHenry.

Madi Kaempf added eight points and two assists for McHenry, and Avalon Henderson had six points and 10 rebounds.

“The thing I liked about the finish is we kept it simple,” Warriors coach Rob Niemic said. “It was just a matter of sureness and believing in each other. The biggest thing is you should want the ball in your hands. And Julia ... it’s awesome to see a senior step up and get her first double-digits right there.”

McHenry outscored Prairie Ridge, 12-8, in the fourth, but both teams struggled to finish at the free-throw line. McHenry was 10 of 20 for the game, and Prairie Ridge was 10 of 17.

“We were just having fun, playing together and playing our game,” Alsot said. “We’re starting to get things going, and our confidence is up.”

Prairie Ridge was led by Emily Perhats, who hit three 3s and finished with a team-high 11 points. Karly Statter added nine points, and Bailey Gorman had six. Sammi Lockwood had four points but got in foul trouble early and fouled out with six minutes left.

“For us, it’s pretty much been the same story every game,” Wolves coach Rick Lima said. “We get in foul trouble in the first half, and we have kids that we can’t risk playing with two fouls. We sit them, and teams take advantage of that in the first half.

“We get everybody back, start chipping away and get to the point where we’re right on the edge, and then all the energy you spent getting back in the game gets you back. McHenry is tough inside. They’re a physical team and very tough to defend.”

PREP FOOTBALL NOTES

PR loaded with junior talent

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com Prairie Ridge fullback Manny Ebirim looked up and down the table at his five teammates, four of whom are juniors, and smiled.

The Wolves had just won the Class 6A football state championship and were asked about next year.

“This group of juniors has a great work ethic,” said Ebirim, who ran for 134 yards in the Wolves’ 4817 victory over Springfield Sacred Heart-Griffin. “So whatever they want to do, they can do. Because they get after it in the offseason, and that’s what’s most important. I’m very excited to come back next year, and I will be coming back next year to see you guys, and I know you’re going to do something great.”

Prairie Ridge’s triumph was its second 6A state championship in six seasons. Unlike the 2011 team that won it, however, this group is heavy with talented juniors, led by two Illinois High School Football Coaches Association All-Staters: quarterback Samson Evans and

tackle Jeff Jenkins.

The Wolves’ best defensive players are linebackers Joe Perhats and Jacob Ommen, also juniors. And running back Zach Gulbransen, who ran for 100 yards in Saturday’s win, also is a junior.

That core of five juniors was on the varsity team as freshmen. The Wolves won all their games this season by at least Alex Peete 11 points, and Jenkins thinks next year can be special again.

“I think we can definitely get better,” he said. “I’m expecting another good year next year. Jacob [Ommen] was talking about we’re getting in the weight room Monday morning before school.”

No. 7 is No. 8: Johnsburg running back Alex Peete finished his career with a bang, running for 233 yards in the Skyhawks’ 38-14 loss to Rochester in the Class 4A title game Friday. Those yards put Peete at No. 8 on the state career rushing list.

Peete came into the season at 3,542 yards and ran for 2,529 yards this season, leaving him with 6,071 for his career. He has a visit scheduled with NCAA Division I Indiana State and likely will check out more schools now that he has some free time.

Tyler Pennington

C-G rankings:

Cary-Grove fullback Tyler Pennington finished his career with 5,161 rushing yards, which puts him 15th on the IHSA career list.

He also scored 84 touchdowns, which places him Collin Walsh tied for seventh for his career. Pennington was a fouryear varsity player.

C-G kicker Collin Walsh, who kicked for the Trojans since his freshman season, had 185 extra points for his career, which puts him at No. 6 on the career list.

big shots in the fourth quarter,” Jacobs coach Joe Benoit said. “I’m really proud of these kids. Hampshire is a good team that hit their shots. This conference is going to be tough every night, and no game will be easy.

We need to get better starting tomorrow.”

Jacobs was led by Healy with 14 points and Carly Sidor with 10.

For Hampshire (3-3, 0-1), too many turnovers and not making a basket in the fourth quarter until the 2:42 mark are what hurt the most. Hampshire was led by Heine with 16 points and Dumoulin with 14.

“When you have 27 turnovers and give up 13 offensive rebounds, it makes it really hard to win,” Hampshire coach Mike Featherly said.

“We shot the ball well, but we didn’t get many shots off. We need more of our players to look to score besides Rachel and Meagan and need others to step up.”

GIRLS CROSS COUNTRY

R-B’s Carlson is North Division 1A Coach of the Year

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com Richmond-Burton’s Ryan Carlson has been honored by the Illinois Track and Cross Country Coaches Association as North Division Class 1A Girls Coach of the Year.

The Rockets’ girls finished fourth in the Class 1A girls race at the IHSA Cross Country State Meet at Peoria’s Detweiller Park this month. R-B was third in the Kishwaukee River Conference Meet, then was team champion at both the Winnebago Regional Ryan Carlson and Oregon Sectional.

At state, the Rockets finished with 191 points, 17 behind third-place Liberty’s 174. St. Joseph-Ogden was the 1A team champion with 100, Tolono Unity was second at 161.

“The girls have been coming on strong the last three weeks,” Carlson said after state. “We were superexcited for today. Our senior leadership up front with Emma (Langlois), Breanna (Retherford) and Gabby (Ross) was great. We were happy with where we landed. It was a fun day.”

• Wednesday, November 30, 2016

ALGONQUIN – Jacobs guard Kerri Healy is no stranger to varsity basketball. Entering her junior season, Healy will be looked upon as more of a leader on offense, which is something new for the third-year varsity player. With her play in Tuesday’s game against Hampshire, Healy seems up to the challenge.

“I really just wanted to help anyway I could, and anyone on the team could have made those shots I hit,” Healy said. “My teammates did a great job of getting me the ball especially in the fourth quarter.”

In what was a fairly even matchup all night, it was Jacobs that pulled ahead in the fourth quarter, thanks to some big shots from Healy, and held on for a 46-41 victory over Hampshire in the Fox Valley Conference opener for both teams.

Whip-Purs missed only one shot in the first quarter, and that was a three-quarters-court shot at the buzzer. In the second quarter, Hampshire missed only two shots. The issue for the Whip-Purs was they didn’t take many shots, 11 in the first half, because of turnovers. The Whip-Purs turned the ball over 12 times in the first half and trailed, 21-17.

The second half was much of the same, but Hampshire took the lead back in the third quarter after an 11-0 run sparked by Rachel Dumoulin and Meagan Heine and led, 33-28, after the third quarter. The fourth quarter was all Jacobs.

The Golden Eagles (2-3, 1-0 FVC) started the final quarter on a 10-0 run behind some big shots by Healy and a three-point play by Kyra Cabusao.

Jacobs never trailed the rest of the night.

4 PREP RECRUITING NOTES

CL South runner Prus picks Northeastern Cross country, track athlete seeks career in music industry

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com Jon Prus someday hopes to work, in some capacity, in the music business.

The Crystal Lake South senior will take a path not traveled by many, if any at all, to get there.

Prus aspires to work for a record label, or perhaps manage talent, or maybe even become a music patent lawyer.

In the meantime, he will run at Northeastern University in Boston to help pay for his education.

Prus, who scored 34 on his ACT, signed his National Letter of Intent this month with Northeastern for cross country. He also will receive money for a track scholarship and for

academics.

“I wanted a school that had an (NCAA) Division I running program and my major, music business. That brought down a lot of schools,” Prus said.

“Northeastern has a co-op program, so by the time I graduate, I’ll already have worked two jobs in my field, so that attracted me there.”

Jon Prus Prus contacted coach Catherine Erickson, visited the school and decided on Northeastern.

He also had visited Butler in Indianapolis.

Prus earned a state track and field medal in the Class 3A 4x800-meter relay as a freshman. He finished 28th in the Class 3A cross country state meet as a junior, missing All-State status by three spots. He took eighth in the Fox Valley Conference Cross Country Meet this fall and did not qualify for the Class 3A state meet.

“It definitely was not what I wanted,” Prus said. “I’m not sure why. My knee was bothering me for about a month, and it was too late to take time off. Now, I’ve taken time off, and it feels a lot better. I’m going to make this track season a really good one. Track’s always been the thing I liked a lot more anyway.”

Prus always liked listening to music and liked to write, so in the summer before his freshman year, he experimented writing rap lyrics.

“It wasn’t very good, but I tried again and again and again,” Prus said.

“I got a lot better at it, so I tried rapping for a variety show my freshman year, and some people told me it was really good. I’ve kept working at it to get where I am now.”

That led to Prus wanting to do something in the music business.

“I know with the co-op program I’ll be able to figure some stuff out, so I’ll be able to figure out what I want to do by the time I graduate,” Prus said.

McGowan to St. Cloud: Hampshire se-

nior Max McGowan, a 160-pound wrestler, has signed his National Letter of Intent with D-II St. Cloud (Minnesota) State. McGowan qualified for the Illinois National Team in Greco Roman and freestyle wrestling and went 11-4 in both styles at the national championships in Fargo, North Dakota.

McGowan, who is looking to study biomedical sciences, will be joining a Huskies team that won back-to-back NCAA D-II national championships and has won five consecutive Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference championships. St. Cloud State was ranked No. 1 in this year’s NCAA D-II preseason poll.

Dunham to Dubuque: Crystal Lake South’s Luke Dunham, a right-handed senior pitcher, has chosen to attend the University of Dubuque (Iowa) and pitch for the Spartans.

Dunham was 5-0 with a 3.54 ERA last season for the Gators, who shared the FVC Valley Division title with Cary-Grove. Dunham struck out 21 batters in 272/3 innings.

The Florida Panthers’ Reilly Smith trips over Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford during the second period Tuesday at the United Center. Crawford made 38 saves in the Hawks’ 2-1 shootout win. who had the other shootout goal, said through an interpreter. “We’re lucky to have him.”

However, already down their top center, Jonathan Toews, the Hawks now have to be concerned about their No. 2 pivot. Artem Anisimov took a Duncan Keith shot off the inside of his ankle in the third period and limped off to the dressing room in obvious pain. Coach Joel Quenne-

ville said he’d know more Wednesday, but that “he seemed to be OK.” Panarin called it a “sleepy game,” and it looked exactly like a team coming off a draining 13-night road trip playing against a team that just lost a popular coach it didn’t really want to lose. It was a disjointed sloppy affair, with Crawford (38 saves) and Roberto Luongo (32 saves) doing the heavy lifting.

Beyond the Crawford heroics, the Hawks followed their usual script in the first period, getting badly outshot yet still coming out with a lead thanks to Panik’s breakaway goal.

It was the first goal since Oct. 22 for Panik, who led the league in goals after six games, and his first point in 13 games.

“It feels good,” Panik said “It feels even better when we win.”

After a sluggish second and third, and a key penalty kill in overtime, the Hawks did what they’ve been doing all year – pulling out wins despite themselves.

“I thought our team was ordinary across the board,” Quenneville said.

“One of those games you find a way to keep yourself in it.”

Having Crawford in goal certainly helps.

HAWKS NOTES

Toews sits again, questionable for Thursday

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com CHICAGO – The Blackhawks returned to the United Center on Tuesday against the Florida Panthers, but they again took the ice without Jonathan Toews, who missed his third straight game with an upper-body injury.

Toews was injured after an awkward fall along the boards Wednesday in San Jose and hasn’t skated since.

Hawks coach Joel Quenneville, who has been deeming Toews “day to day” for almost a week, said his captain hasn’t had a setback but that he’s “the same.” A team source said it was not a

concussion.

Quenneville said Toews was questionable for Thursday’s game against the New Jersey Devils.

“You’d like to get him back on the ice,” Quenneville said. “As soon as you see him on the ice, you’ve got Jonathan an idea he’s close to Toews playing. Jonny wants to be out there in the worst way, so we’ll do everything we can to get him back.”

Firing fallout: The Panthers have been taking heat for firing coach Ge-

rard Gallant on Sunday night, and for the images of Gallant waiting for a cab outside PNC Arena in Raleigh, North Carolina, after being dumped during a road trip. Interim coach Tom Rowe, Florida’s general manager, said the images were misleading, and that he was with Gallant for “30 to 35 minutes” outside, and had inquired about a car service to pick him up.

“Yeah, I know how it looked,” Rowe said. “It didn’t look great. But that was not how it went down.”

Former Panthers defenseman Brian Campbell of the Hawks said he was “shocked” by the firing of Gallant, who was the runner-up for the Jack Adams Trophy last year as coach of

the year after leading the Panthers to the Atlantic Division title.

“I didn’t know that it was that bad of a situation,” Campbell said. “I really like Gerard, I think he’s a good coach, I thought he was fair. He did some really good things for that organization.”

Roster report: Michal Kempny was a healthy scratch for the third time in four games, with Michal Rozsival playing for the fourth time in six games (he played only four times in the first 18).

Jordin Tootoo returned to the lineup after suffering an apparent foot injury blocking a shot in Anaheim. Andrew Desjardins was scratched for the fourth time in six games.

mlazerus@suntimes.com CHICAGO – Corey Crawford was flat on his back and without his stick in a tie game in the third period Tuesday night, accidentally tripped by teammate Vinnie Hinostroza in a moment of confusion. Crawford, either in disbelief or in pain, was slow to get up, but quickly realized the puck was still in play, and that Derek MacKenzie was winding up to shoot.

Crawford lunged to his right and somehow swatted the puck with his hand, banking it off the post and back into his glove.

“I was pretty mad,” Crawford said.

He was grinning when he said that. Winning helps.

Crawford was spectacular yet again for the Blackhawks in Tuesday night’s 2-1 shootout victory over the Florida Panthers. Richard Panik had the lone goal in regulation and the shootout winner, but this win was all Crawford – as so many of the Hawks’ wins this season have been.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF RANKINGS

Ohio St. still No. 2, positioned to make playoffs

By RALPH D. RUSSO The Associated Press

Ohio State held firm at second in the College Football Playoff rankings, putting the Buckeyes in position to become the first team to be selected to the final four without winning its conference.

The second-to-last rankings were released Tuesday night and Alabama was No. 1, followed by Ohio State, Clemson and Washington. The Crimson Tide, Tigers and Huskies all play conference championship games this weekend and presumably would be in good shape to make the playoff if they win. The final rankings and playoff pairings will be released Sunday.

Unbeaten Alabama probably is in

good shape to make the playoff even if it loses to Florida in the Southeastern Conference title game Saturday Michigan dropped to No. 5 after losing to Ohio State. Wisconsin was sixth and Penn State was seventh. The Badgers and Nittany Lions will play for the Big Ten title Saturday in Indianapolis.

HUSKIES vs. WOLVERINES

Assuming the Buckeyes are a lock, and it looks good for them, and Clemson doesn’t get upset by Virginia Tech in the ACC title game, the debate for the committee when it gathers Saturday night in Texas to watch games and discuss the only rankings that matter will be Pac-12 or Big Ten. Can Michigan, or maybe the Big Ten champion with two losses, edge a

Washington team that would finish 12-1 by beating Colorado on Friday night in the Pac-12 title game?

“There is a small separation between these two teams,” selection committee chairman Kirby Hocutt said of Michigan and Washington. At one point Hocutt added that the difference between the Wolverines and Huskies was “razor thin.”

It looks as if not only does the committee not mind putting one Big Ten team without a conference championship in the playoff, but it also is comfortable with two. Michigan at 10-2 has victories against Penn State and Wisconsin.

PENN STATE’S PLIGHT

A Wisconsin victory in the Big Ten

title game would eliminate the controversy. The Badgers lost to Ohio State during the regular season.

Penn State fans, however, already are cranking up the complaints. The Nittany Lions beat Ohio State in October. Add a Big Ten title, and Penn State is bound to feel slighted.

Conference titles and head-to-head results are essentially used by the committee like tiebreakers when teams are very close.

The Buckeyes and Nittany Lions are not in the committee’s eyes. At least not yet.

“The selection committee recognizes the head-to-head win, but in this particular case, it hasn’t been the distinguishing point in our evaluation of those two teams,” he said.

BULLS

One big, happy family

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com CHICAGO – There’s no pushback for Jimmy Butler this season.

His work ethic is now everyone’s work ethic.

Not the case in previous years, and definitely not the case with all the dysfunction going on last season, both on and off the court.

But there was Butler after Tuesday’s practice, proudly pointing out all the teammates still in the gym, getting up shots or having a 3-point contest.

“Yeah, I think of it like this: I don’t see what else you have to do all day. I don’t,” Butler said. “Like the job that we have it’s incredibly lenient. Like, you practice for an hour and a half, what do you do the rest of your day? Why don’t you come in here, work on your game?

Shoot? Watch some film? All you’re going to do is sit at home and play some video games on your phone anyways.

“But these guys are buying into that, which is great. And when you fall in love with the process, you find out that your confidence only comes from the work anyways.”

That’s all Butler wanted from last season’s team. He wanted the veteran players to buy in, and if that meant fol-

lowing his lead – like it or not – so be it.

The not won.

Then came frustration and finger pointing.

That is all gone. Like Butler, Rajon Rondo and Dwyane Wade are workers. So while last year’s team started to fade after Jan. 7, Butler’s feeling is this year’s version of the Bulls will be immune to that type of nose dive.

Rajon Rondo “I know what I think we’re going to continue to do,” Butler said. “I think we’re going to continue to win games. We’re practicing extremely well right now, and the saying goes that if you’re practicing the way you play and all that good stuff, if we do that then I think we we’re going to win.”

December will test that, especially this first week. Yes, the “circus trip” is behind the Bulls, but they welcome the Lakers on Wednesday night before tipping off four games in five nights, including hosting LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday.

What Butler, Wade and Rondo are banking on is the team chemistry that has been built so far carries weight.

“As much as you see guys around

each other, you’d think we live in a dorm together,” Butler said, when asked about a college atmosphere surrounding this team. “We all leave the building at the same time, we all eat together or are at somebody else’s house.

You would think, good or bad, that we are a college team. We’re always talking in a group chat or competing, something about this group of guys, we always wanna be around each other.

“We realize we’re all we have when we step out into the United Center floor or an away game. It’s us. These coaches, this organization.”

Which are words that look nice on T-shirts, but Butler also knows that wins need to be produced.

So far, so good in that department, as the Bulls will enter the final game of November 10-6. The Bulls were 11-5 through their first 16 games last season, as well as 22-12 through Jan. 7.

As the chemistry wilted, however, so did the winning.

“I told y’all that all last year,” Butler said. “It’s all fine and dandy when you’re winning. You lose a couple games, it seems everything goes to [expletive].”

Note: Coach Fred Hoiberg said Doug McDermott (concussion) still is not taking contact, and his timetable for that next stage remains day-to-day.

CUBS

OF Jay agrees to 1-year deal

By STEVE GREENBERG

sgreenberg@suntimes.com The Cubs and Jon Jay, a veteran outfielder who will be 32 on Opening Day, agreed Tuesday to a one-year contract worth a reported $8 million.

Jay has played seven major league seasons – his first six with the Cubs’ rivals in St. Louis – primarily as a center fielder. He can play all three outfield spots, but he’s known for his glove work in the middle of the outfield. Jay’s career fielding percentage in center is .996, the highest mark for any active player (minimum 500 games) at the position.

The move solidifies months-long speculation that the Cubs will lose the services of popular center fielder Dexter Fowler, one of the heroes of the team’s

drive to the World Series title. While Cubs fans come to terms with saying goodbye to “Dex,” the 30-year-old Fowler – a first-time All-Star in 2016 who tied for the team’s postseason lead with three home runs and 11 runs scored – will be seeking a lucrative, multiyear deal elsewhere.

How much Jay plays during the season to come will have a lot to do with the ongoing development of Albert Almora Jr., the team’s first-round draft pick in 2012 and a solid contributor off the bench during the 2016 regular season and playoffs.

The right-handed-hitting Almora is considered a potential Gold Glove-level talent in center field and could have more upside offensively than the left-handed Jay.

SPORTS BRIEFS Kaleigh Johnson helps MCC top DuPage in women’s basketball

Kaleigh Johnson recorded a double-double, scoring 20 points and grabbing 11 rebounds, to lead McHenry County College’s women’s basketball team to a 78-47 win over College of DuPage on Tuesday in Crystal Lake. Johnson, a McHenry West graduate, also dished out four assists.

Kaylee Bischke, a Harvard grad, scored 15 points, had a team-high six assists and grabbed five rebounds for the Scots (4-3).

McHenry East grad Ashley Kaempf had eight points and 10 rebounds, while Ayanna Hunter had eight points and seven rebounds. Kristy Darling, a Woodstock North grad, had a team-high 13 rebounds and six points.

Quixmia Washington did a little of everything with nine points, five assists, five steals and three rebounds.

• Wednesday, November 30, 2016

NEW YORK – Bruce Arena opened a binder to a page with 48 names, his depth chart for the U.S. soccer team.

Back in charge for the first time in a decade, he views the Americans’ state as urgent after losses in the first two games of the final round of World Cup qualifying and already has plans.

“We’re fighting for our lives starting Bruce Arena March 24. We’re behind the eight ball,” he said. “We’ve got to close the gap, and we get six points in the next two games, the gap is closed.”

During an hourlong session with reporters Tuesday, Arena said comments he made in 2013 about foreign-born players on the national team were aimed at the U.S. player development system, not a criticism of German-Americans who made up almost a quarter of the 2014 World Cup roster under Jurgen Klinsmann.

“I was told today, somebody, they referenced me in Spain as the Donald

Trump of soccer,” Arena said. “I think that I’m at fault, obviously, for those statements, but I would like to clear that up. It’s absolutely ridiculous. It’s no way in the way I think.”

“I think the phrase foreign nationals is a very poor term, whoever uses it, and I will not use it. I will not use dual citizens. They’re national team players,” he explained. “The comment regarding foreign-born players, at the time I believe was referencing player development. And I was simply saying that if our senior national team program consists of a large minority of players, large majority of players that were born elsewhere, where are we going with our development? It has nothing to do with who should be playing on the national team, who should not.”

Now 65 and a member of the U.S. National Soccer Hall of Fame, Arena coached the U.S. from 1998 to 2006 and is the winningest coach in team history.

He led the Americans to the 2002 World Cup quarterfinals, their best finish since the first tournament in 1930, then was fired after a first-round elimination in 2006. He took over from Klinsmann last week after a 2-1 home loss to Mexico and a 4-0 rout at Costa Rica.

10 GOLF: HERO WORLD CHALLENGE

Just playing again a success for Tiger

By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press

NASSAU, Bahamas – This might be one time that Tiger Woods doesn’t measure success on the golf course by the score on his card.

He measured it with three words Tuesday: “I’m playing again.”

There were times during his 15 months away from golf that Woods wasn’t entirely sure that would be the case. He said that when he was at the Hero World Challenge last year, he needed help just to climb out of bed. At an outdoor party at Albany Golf Club, he would mingle for a few minutes and then sit on a stone bench.

He spent more time looking back than looking forward, saying at one point that anything else he achieved in golf would be “gravy.”

And now he can’t wait to get started Thursday.

The 15-month break to heal after

back surgeries is the longest he has been away from golf. Woods was a mixture of optimism and reality about his return. He talked about having all the shots he needs to compete against a field that includes 17 players from the top 40 and Woods, the tournament host who is at a career-low No. 898 in the world rankings. He is playing, so he said he wants to win. The outlook is no different.

He also noted that Bubba Watson won last year at 25-under par, and it probably will take something around that to win.

“I know that’s a tall order since I’ve been away from the game for so long, and I’ve made a lot of different changes in my game,” he said. “Physically and also equipment, practice schedules, training, all that has evolved. The mindset of competing hasn’t. That is to go out there and try to beat these guys.”

with any adrenaline since the final round of the Wyndham Championship on Aug. 23, 2015. He doesn’t know how his game will stack up against players he watched at Hazeltine when he was an assistant captain at the Ryder Cup. His previous long break from golf was eight months when he had reconstructive surgery on his left knee after winning the 2008 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines, the last of his 14 major titles. He won his opening match in the Match Play Championship and won two tournaments later at Bay Hill.

That was a knee. This is a back.

He was 33, not a month away from turning 41. And that was long before any chaos in his personal life.

Asked what he would expect to feel Thursday at Albany Golf Club, Woods said, “I’ll let you know then, because I don’t know right now.”

SPORTS | Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com

He still is working with swing coach Chris Como, whom he brought on two years ago. Now that Nike is out of the equipment business, Woods is using a TaylorMade driver and fairway metals, a Bridgestone golf ball and his old Scotty Cameron putter that he used to win all but one of his 14 majors.

But it starts with playing.

“Put it this way: It’s a lot better situation this year than last,” Woods said.

“I just couldn’t get out of bed. I needed help. It was a tough, tough time. You asked me then, ‘Could I play?’ No. I can’t even get out of bed. How am I supposed to swing a club at 120 miles an hour?”

The Hero World Challenge, which he started in 1999 to benefit the Tiger Woods Foundation, is effectively a holiday tournament for golf’s elite that has no cut and pays $1 million to the winner.

It feels so much bigger this year because of Woods.

Over the past year, he played five holes to open his new golf course, Bluejack National, outside Houston. And he took three swings with a wedge on the par-3 10th hole at Congressional during a day to promote the Quicken Loans National. All three went in the water.

Everyone is curious to see how he plays. That includes Woods.

His biggest concern is how far his shots will go because he hasn’t played

By SARA MOULTON The Associated Press

When I was a kid, my parents sometimes brought home tins of deliriously delicious cheese crackers. I can’t remember the brand – I think it was a British import – but I do remember my sister, brother and I would inhale them as soon the tin was opened. All these years later, the flavor of those crackers, richly cheesy and spicy, remains burned into my memory. This recipe is my attempt to resurrect them.

The ingredients and technique for making these crackers are similar to those used to make pie dough. Butter and flour (with added flavorings) are its bones. And as with pie dough, as soon as you combine gluten (the protein in flour) with a liquid, you have to mix quickly and briefly or the end product will be tough. So be careful not to overmix the dough.

The stars of this recipe are its two cheeses: extra-sharp cheddar and Parmesan. The spice, which is added to the dough at the start, then dusted onto the outside of each cracker, is provided by Colman’s Mustard powder (a venerable English brand) and cayenne pepper.

Happily, this recipe is simple to make. The dough is mixed quickly in a food processor, then shaped into a cylinder and chilled for an hour, time enough for the gluten to relax and the dough to solidify, making it easy to slice and bake. The typical cracker recipe requires you to roll out the dough and cut it with a cutter, a method that takes a lot more time – and generates a bigger mess – than my cylinder method.

Another advantage of this method is you can freeze the cylinder (just take care to wrap the dough well, first in plastic, then in foil) and then, when guests show up unexpectedly, let the dough soften on the counter for a bit, then slice off and bake as many crackers as you need.

Or you can package the baked crackers in batches of 10 or 12, tie them up with a bow, and give them as gifts. No matter how you use them – as presents or served at home – I believe your family and friends will make them disappear as quickly as my sister, brother and I made that tin go poof.

Spicy Cheese Crackers

Start to finish: 2 hours 10 minutes (40 minutes active) Makes about 50 crackers

Spicy Cheese Crackers AP photo

1/2 pound extra-sharp cheddar, coarsely grated 5 ounces finely grated Parmesan cheese, divided 1½ cups (6 1/3 ounces) all-purpose flour 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into chunks 1½ teaspoons Colman’s Mustard powder, divided 1/2 teaspoon table salt 1¼ teaspoons cayenne, divided 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 2 tablespoons ice water In a food processor, combine the cheddar and 4 ounces of the Parmesan. Pulse until the cheddar is finely chopped. Add the flour,

butter, 1/2 teaspoon of the mustard, the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the cayenne. Pulse until the mixture looks like small pellets. Add the Worcestershire sauce and ice water, then pulse until just combined.

Pour the dough onto the counter, divide it into two mounds, then use the palm of your hands to smear each mound across the counter several times, or until it comes together quickly when you press it with your fingers.

Transfer each half of the dough onto a 16-inch-long sheet of plastic wrap. Shape into a 12-inch log (about 1½ inches around), using the plastic as needed, then wrap tightly in the plastic. Chill for at least 1 hour.

When ready to bake, heat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line two sheet pans with kitchen parchment and position one of the oven racks in the center of the oven.

On a large plate, combine the remaining 1 teaspoon of mustard and 1 teaspoon of cayenne. Remove one of the cylinders from the refrigerator. Unwrap the dough, then roll it in the spice mix, rubbing off the excess spice. Slice the dough crosswise about 1/3 inch thick. Arrange the dough rounds on the prepared sheet pans, about 1/2 inch apart.

Sprinkle each round with a pinch of the additional Parmesan cheese and bake on the oven’s middle and bottom shelves, switching places halfway through, until dark golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool.

Sweet cider

This hot cocktail is soothing and comforting on a cold day

By THE CULINARY INSTITUTE OF AMERICA

A

fter a snowy walk or long day on the slopes, there’s nothing like curling up under a warm blanket.

Maybe you have a fire going and the dog asleep at your feet, with a good book just within reach.

But before you can relax, you need to warm up those cold hands and chilled bones. Before you settle in for your long winter’s nap, stir up this hot cider cocktail, featured at The Tavern at American Bounty at our campus in Hyde Park, New York.

Hot cocktails are inspired by the classic hot toddy, a curative mixture dating back centuries that includes

whiskey, rum, or brandy with hot water, a sweetener, and sometimes some spicing.

However you like your hot toddy, it should be soothing and comforting on a cold day. In fact, hot toddies made with spirits, honey and lemon juice often are used to ease the symptoms from our seasonal colds and coughs.

Our cider cocktail recipe begins with almond-flavored amaretto and hot apple cider. Bitters are added to help balance the sweetness from the cider (and the caramel sauce and whipped cream we’ll add later).

Bitters are a blend of naturally sour or bitter botanical flavors – such as

Hot Cider Cocktail

Start to finish: 20 minutes Makes one drink 2 ounces amaretto 6 ounces warm apple cider 1 dash bitters Whipped Cream, as needed (recipe follows) Caramel Sauce, as needed (recipe follows) Combine amaretto, warm cider and bitters in an Irish coffee mug or regular coffee mug. Top with fresh whipped cream and caramel sauce.

Caramel Sauce Makes about 2 cups

1½ cups heavy cream 3/4 cup sugar 1/2 cup light corn syrup 2 tablespoons unsalted butter Prepare an ice bath. Bring the cream to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat. Remove from the heat.

Combine the sugar and corn syrup in a heavy saucepan over low heat and stir until the sugar dissolves. Slowly cook to a golden brown without stirring, 8 to 9 minutes. Remove from the heat and put the saucepan in the ice bath for 20 seconds to stop the cooking. Remove from the ice bath and stir in the butter.

Carefully stir in the hot cream, mixing until fully blended. To store the caramel sauce, transfer it to a clean bowl or jar, cover tightly, and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks. Reheat the sauce over low heat or in the microwave before serving.

orange peel or herbs. In cocktails, they add a concentrated dose of bitterness without diluting the primary flavors in the drink.

There are no rules when it comes to a hot cocktail, and this recipe can be reformulated to suit your mood or the contents of your liquor cabinet.

In place of amaretto, you can use any of your favorite spirits, such as whiskey or apple brandy. If you like infused spirits or syrups (a great make-at-home holiday gift), a hot cocktail is the perfect way to show them off. Cinnamon-infused bourbon or cardamom-infused simple syrup are great starts to making this

recipe your own.

Hot cocktails are the perfect treat for a little bit of quiet time, but they also are an excellent make-ahead recipe when you are hosting winter parties.

They can be mixed and kept warm in a crock pot or on the stovetop over a very low flame. Be sure to put some of the hot apple cider aside before adding the amaretto, for children and guests who choose not to partake.

Garnish your party drinks with freshly made whipped cream, our caramel sauce and a cinnamon stick for a particularly Instagram-worthy presentation.

Whipped Cream Makes about 2 cups

1 cup heavy cream, chilled 1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract Chill a stainless-steel bowl and the beaters of a handheld mixer, the whisk attachment of a stand mixer, or a balloon whisk.

Pour the cream into the chilled bowl and whip on medium speed until thickened, about 3 minutes.

Increase the speed to high and gradually add the confectioners’ sugar while whipping. Add the vanilla extract and continue to whip until the cream has the desired peak according to its intended use. Soft peaks are good for dolloping cream, while firmer peaks are better if the cream is to be piped, used for topping, or folded into another mixture.

Note: If your cream starts to turn slightly yellow while you are whipping, it is close to being overwhipped and turning into butter. Fold in a small amount of unwhipped cream, if you have it, to rescue the texture.

Dark Chocolate Rosemary Biscotti AP photo

Chocolate rosemary biscotti ideal for a gift

By MELISSA D’ARABIAN The Associated Press

I remember the first party I ever hosted. I was 5 and my mom invited all of my kindergarten girlfriends and their moms for a holiday singing gathering. We knoshed on homemade cookies dunked in hot cocoa made from packets of powder dissolved in boiling water. Standing there around our piano, surrounded by tiny off-key singers with crumby, smiling mouths and steamy chocolate breath, I fell in love with hospitality. I felt in my heart the joy of feeding people, especially around the holidays. Joy to the world, indeed.

As the days grow colder and shorter, and cookie-baking season is ushered in, the calorie-counter in me steps aside just enough to strike that balance of reasonable, but small, indulgence. A perfect example of smart cookie indulgence is the biscotti.

Biscotti are firm, dry Italian cookies that typically are served alongside an espresso or coffee for dunking. Biscotti are dryer and harder than your average cookie, due to a double-baking process

(which is easy, so don’t be intimidated) and relatively lower amounts of fat and sugar.

But the harder texture has a huge tactical advantage: biscotti take longer to nibble your way through, so the chances of me accidentally downing seven or eight are pretty small. One or two of these little guys, especially with a little espresso, and I feel like I’ve participated in the joy of holiday dessert.

Plus, biscotti feel a little fancy. Fancy enough, in fact, to double as a holiday gift – wrap some up in cellophane and take as a hostess or neighbor gift, or even send home with your guests as a little party favor.

Today’s recipe is flavored with dark chocolate and rosemary because they are classic winter flavors that I love together, but feel free to play with zests, spices, herbs and chocolate types to make a combo you love. Bonus points if you eat them with friends singing around the piano.

Dark Chocolate Rosemary Biscotti Start to finish: 1 hour, 15 minutes

Servings: 16 biscotti 1 cup white whole wheat flour 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 1 teaspoon baking powder 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened 1/2 cup sugar 2 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon finely-grated orange zest 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, finely minced 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips, finely chopped 1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Combine the flours, salt and baking powder in a small bowl and set aside. In a medium bowl, cream the butter and sugar together with a hand or stand-mixer until light in color, fluffy and creamy, about 3 minutes.

Add the eggs in, one at a time, mixing well after each one. Add the vanilla, zest and rosemary and mix until incorporated.

Add the flour, half at a time, mixing until incorporated after each half. Use a rubber

spatula to fold in the dark chocolate and the almonds.

Place the dough on a lightly-floured surface and divide into two. Shape into two logs, about 14 inches each, and place on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly press each log flatter, to make a rounded strip, about 15 inches long by 2½ inches wide. Remove excess flour with a clean pastry brush.

Bake the logs until golden, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool 10 minutes. Meanwhile, reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F. Carefully transfer each flattened log to a cutting board and cut each log on the bias into 8 slices (16 slices total). Place the slices cut side down on the parchment-lined baking sheet and continue baking until the cookies are golden and crisp, about 30 more minutes.

Once baked, let cool completely. Can be stored in airtight container for several days.

“Salted” and “caramel” are two words that make many people get misty in the eyes and weak in the knees.

You can buy lovely salted caramel in the stores to drizzle over ice cream, cake, pie or just your tongue, but you also can make it easily at home, and for a lot less money. Do share the wealth – what a great holiday gift this makes.

There is no need for a thermometer, no special equipment, no difficult techniques. The thing to pay attention to is how fast the sugar mixture is browning. Resist the urge to wander away and clean out the vegetable bin, because the caramel will turn from pale to golden to dark to “oh no, what’s that smell?” very quickly.

A lighter color will produce a more delicate caramel sauce, while a richer golden brown will produce a more pronounced caramel flavor. And have that cream warmed and ready to go – seconds make a difference.

When you add the cream to the pot it will sputter and bubble quite a bit, so use a bigger pot than you think you need; it will shortly settle back down, but the last thing you want is hot car-

Salted Caramel Sauce AP photo

amel bubbling over onto your stove.

Some caramel recipes call for a pastry brush to brush down the sides of the pot where the sugar is caramelizing. I think nah, not necessary.

Also, it’s hard not to keep stirring the sugar melted with the water, but you have to trust in the caramelization process. Stirring makes the mixture grainy, whereas leaving it alone will let the sugar gently brown and prevent crystals from forming. Counter-

intuitive, but true.

Salted Caramel Sauce

Start to finish: 20 minutes Makes about 1½ cups, roughly 12 servings 1 cup heavy cream, warmed 1 cup sugar 1/4 cup water 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 1 teaspoon kosher salt In a large, heavy saucepan, combine the sugar and water and turn the heat to medium high. Stir just until the sugar is dissolved and then stop stirring completely.

Allow the mixture to come to a gentle boil.

Do not stir the mixture; even if it looks a little grainy, that’s just the sugar doing its thing.

Boil for 6 to 7 minutes until the mixture has turned golden brown and starts to smell like caramel; make sure it doesn’t get too dark or start to burn.

When the mixture is a deep golden brown, turn the heat down to medium and stir as you slowly add the warmed cream. The mixture will bubble up vigorously (this is why you are using a large pot). Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the butter until it is melted and the mixture is smooth. Stir in the vanilla and salt.

Cool the mixture to room temperature and then use right away, or transfer to a glass jar or two with a tight seal. Store in the refrigerator for up to one month.

Salted Caramel Sauce the winter topping everyone needs 5

By ELIZABETH KARMEL The Associated Press

My sister sent me a text about a green spread that said, “you have to make this ... love it on sandwiches, crackers, eggs, etc.”

And she was right – this green spread is a sandwich genie. It also is a great way to get a few more vegetables in your diet. Better yet, it’s made with ingredients you almost always have in the pantry.

The “Green Genie” spread, as my sister and I refer to it, is a garlicky puréed artichoke spread colored with curly green parsley that gives it a fresh, clean flavor rich with garlic, lemon zest, pistachios and good olive oil. It is neutral enough to go with most of your sandwich fillings and enhance their flavor. It also is a great topping for crackers, and if you keep it on hand, it’s an easy appetizer before dinner.

Making it took a bit of maneuvering in my blender, as the vegetables had to be pushed around to blend evenly, but soon I had a bright green, aromatic spread that was thick like a dip. I tried a little on a cracker, and it made me want to have another. But it was lunchtime, so I made a sandwich

instead. I replaced my mustard and my lettuce with this spread and made a ham and Swiss cheese on rye. And I was richly rewarded with the best sandwich that I had eaten in a long time.

Woodstock SAT & SUN, DEC 3 & 4 9-4 Doug Larson, a newspaper columnist and editor, wrote, “What some people mistake for the high cost of living is really the cost of high living.”

Today’s deal was played in a money game with the fairly high stake of 25 cents per point. What happened in three no-trump after West led his fourth-highest spade?

The auction was straightforward.

Yes, North would have preferred a fourth heart for his takeout double, but his hand was too strong to pass.

Then South’s advance of three notrump promised 13-15 points with spades well held.

When the dummy came down, declarer saw 26 points between his hand and the dummy’s. Maybe East had a jack or two, but West had to have the three missing aces.

South made the normal-looking play of running the opening lead around to his holding, taking East’s eight with his 10. He then led a low diamond, but West won with his ace, cashed the spade ace and continued with the spade jack. Declarer took eight tricks (two spades, three diamonds and three clubs), but as soon as he tried to establish a heart winner, West won that trick and cashed his spades. Down one cost $25.

North was not amused. He had noticed that if South had played second hand high, winning the first trick with dummy’s spade king, the contract would have made. Declarer would then play a diamond to his queen. West wins with his ace, but cannot continue spades without conceding two more tricks in the suit.

Whatever he does, South has time to drive out the heart ace to claim plus 600 and $150.
