Good morning, McHenry County ...

Thanks to Lou Bianchi for his service I extend a thank you and happy retirement today to Lou Bianchi, whose three terms and 12 years serving as McHenry County state’s attorney officially have come to an end.

Bianchi’s last day in office was Wednesday.

His successor, Patrick Kenneally, was sworn in to office on Thursday.

On today’s Opinion page, we publish a letter from Bianchi in which he thanks his constituents and those he’s worked with who have helped him make McHenry County a safer place to live.

“I would like to take this time to express my sincerest gratitude and heartfelt thanks to the citizens of McHenry County for allowing me the opportunity to lead the office as state’s attorney and for their support for me and our office these past 12 years,” he wrote in part.

Read the full letter on page A25.

We’re working on a retrospective story about Bianchi’s career that will publish late next week. Like most public officials who have served as long as Bianchi, his career had its ups and downs. But he cared about people and

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK Dan McCaleb justice, and his accomplishments are many.

I hope he enjoys his retirement.

Congratulations also to Kenneally, who I expect will have a smooth transition.

Perhaps the biggest issue facing Kenneally’s office and all county law enforcement – health care professionals, parents and the media as well – is the growing heroin epidemic that has cost far too many lives, both locally and throughout the country. We at the Northwest Herald are ready and willing to work with Kenneally and all vested parties in helping to find a solution.

PROGRESS ON WOODMAN’S

POLL: ONLY ABOUT 1 IN 4 WANT HEALTH LAW REPEALED

Lakemoor Mayor Todd Weihofen said plans for a Woodman’s Food Market in the village are moving forward. The development at Routes 120 and 12 had been on hold after Wauconda taxing bodies filed a lawsuit over a tax increment financing district on the site. Weihofen said Woodman’s board of directors approved the purchase of the land in mid-November.

WASHINGTON – Only about 1 in 4 people in the United States wants President-elect Donald Trump to entirely repeal his predecessor’s health care law that extended coverage to millions, according to a poll.

The postelection survey released Thursday by the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation also found hints of a pragmatic shift among some Republican foes of President Barack Obama’s law.

While 52 percent of Republicans say they want the law completely repealed, that share is down from 69 percent just last month, before the election. More Republicans now say they want the law “scaled back” under Trump and the Republican-controlled Congress, with that share more than doubling from 11 percent before the election to 24 percent after.

Patrick Kenneally sworn in as McHenry County state’s attorney

By JORDYN REILAND jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – The McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office officially has its top position filled with Thursday’s swearing in of Patrick Kenneally.

Kenneally, who previously served as first assistant state’s attorney, was elected to the position in November after he defeated Democratic candidate and Woodstock lawyer Ray Flavin. Kenneally held about 63 percent of votes while Flavin carried about 36.5 percent of votes, according to unofficial results.

Kenneally will succeed Lou Bianchi, who has served as state’s attor-

“I will do my very best to live up to the enormous trust and enormous responsibility that you as well as the many other people in McHenry County have placed in my hands,” Kenneally said at the standing room-only ceremony in the McHenry County Courthouse.

Kenneally thanked his staff and

supporters, friends, family and wife, Colleen Kenneally. He also thanked Bianchi, who was present at the ceremony, and attributed much of his professional success to his predecessor.

“What people wanted in a state’s attorney is not me. They wanted somebody that is going to be honest, somebody with integrity, somebody that is going to build upon the enormous success that this office has enjoyed over the last 12 years, and it didn’t necessarily have to be me,” Kenneally said to the crowd. “I was just in the right place at the right time and that’s not lost on me.”

In his first 100 days in office, Kenneally said he plans to establish an electronic warrants program, which

would allow police officers to obtain search warrants over a secure online database, as well as an amnesty program for those who use drugs but want treatment – similar to Lake County’s Way Out program.

Kenneally said he anticipates the transition to be relatively smooth as most of the office’s staff has agreed to stay on.

Felony prosecutor Robert Zalud was named first assistant state’s attorney and John Gibbons was named chief of the criminal division. Norm Vinton will remain chief of the civil division and Michelle Courier, formerly the Boone County state’s attorney, was appointed as deputy chief of the Civil Division.

CRYSTAL LAKE

Man gets probation on child porn charge

By JORDYN REILAND jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A McHenry County judge sentenced a Crystal Lake man to probation after he admitted to possessing child pornography.

Douglas W. Pronto, 34, pleaded guilty in October to one count of possession of child pornography, a Class 2 felony.

Pronto faced probation or up to seven years in Douglas W. Pronto prison.

Judge Sharon Prather said during a sentencing hearing Thursday that the crime is “reprehensible and disgusting” and certainly not victimless. She said in considering the seriousness of the crime, she also recognized that Pronto had accepted responsibility for his actions and showed remorse she considered to be sincere.

She also recognized that Pronto had no prior criminal history up until his arrest.

Prather sentenced Pronto to two years of probation and a $2,000 fine, and he will have to register as a sex offender. He also was sentenced to 180 days

McHenry County Jail, and he will receive credit for time served. Pronto has been in jail custody since Nov. 13, 2015.

Pronto was arrested and charged in November 2015 with four counts of child pornography, Class 2 felonies, and four counts of child pornography, Class X felonies, after he allegedly possessed and reproduced photos and videos of children – who he should have “reasonably known” were younger than 18 years old – engaged in sex acts.

McHenry County Sheriff’s Detective Michelle Asplund testified Thursday that Pronto told her in an interview after his arrest that he had an addiction to pornography and specifically downloaded child pornography. She said the files located on Pronto’s laptop were “extremely graphic.”

Assistant State’s Attorney John Gibbons, who also is chief of the criminal division, said the most important factor to consider when sentencing a defendant for this type of crime is to fashion a sentence that deters others.

He argued for a sentence in the Illinois Department of Corrections.

“It’s a deplorable crime,” Gibbons said.

Thomas Glasgow, Pronto’s attorney,

said that his client had been a law-abiding citizen for the past 34 years up until his arrest. He said he has a strong support system of family and friends who have stood by him throughout the entire process – many of whom were present in court.

Glasgow said the Penal Code was designed to rehabilitate offenders and his client deserved the chance to do so.

“I just want to apologize to everybody. … There are no excuses, and I can’t pretend that there are,” Pronto said to the court.

Plans for Woodman’s store in Lakemoor move forward

By HANNAH PROKOP hprokop@shawmedia.com LAKEMOOR – Plans for a Woodman’s Food Market at the intersection of Routes 120 and 12 are moving forward, Lakemoor Mayor Todd Weihofen said.

This will be the largest development to come to Lakemoor, Weihofen said.

The grocery store is expected to create an estimated 250 jobs, and there is room on the 74-acre site for another big-box store and several other retailers, he said.

The development process for the land was previously put on hold, after a lawsuit filed by Wauconda taxing bodies over a tax increment financing district on the site. However, in mid-November Weihofen said Woodman’s board of directors approved the purchase of the land.

“We’re excited,” Weihofen said.

“Woodman’s is an employee-owned business – you couldn’t ask for a better business in town.”

An economic incentive agreement with Woodman’s is expected to come before the board in December, and the development agreement should be fi-

“We’re excited. Woodman’s is an employee-owned business – you couldn’t ask for a better business in town.”

Todd Weihofen Lakemoor mayor nalized soon after, Weihofen said.

“There’s a lot of things that need to happen before it’s final,” Woodman’s Vice President Clint Woodman said of the development. “We hope that everything goes smoothly.”

The tentative plans for Woodman’s include a 240,000-square-foot grocery store along with a freestanding gas station, convenience store and car wash.

Officials supporting the project said it would allow area residents to shop closer to home rather than going to Fox Lake, Wauconda or McHenry.

If everything goes as planned, construction could start by 2019, Woodman said.

A development wouldn’t have come to the long-vacant property without the creation of the TIF district, village offi-

cials have said.

According to previous Northwest Herald reporting, the TIF district was expected to increase the equalized assessed value of the area from $20,000 to about $13 million over the 23-year lifespan of the TIF. Village officials contend the property has flooding issues that would take nearly $10 million to fix.

“We took the time and put the tools in there to make it a development that would work,” Weihofen said.

In a letter posted online, the suing taxing bodies argue that the fact the land has been continuously farmed proves it is not subject to chronic flooding.

Dean Krone, attorney representing the Wauconda taxing bodies, said in an email he anticipates parties will begin taking depositions at the start of 2017.

Krone said he is expecting a “significant number” of additional documents from the village in the near future.

In March, Weihofen encouraged residents to lobby the tax bodies behind the lawsuit. He said he never thought the lawsuit would hold the store back from coming to Lakemoor.

“It most likely won’t be settled until the grand opening.” Weihofen said.

‘Years of Living Dangerously’ Crystal Lake teen identified viewing party planned at MCC as pedestrian killed by train

By NATE LINHART nlinhart@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Nonprofit organization Citizens’ Climate Lobby will be the focus of next week’s episode of National Geographic’s “Years of Living Dangerously.”

To celebrate the occasion, the McHenry County Chapter of Citizens’ Climate Lobby, located in Spring Grove, is hosting a public viewing party from 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday in Room 166-7 at McHenry County College.

Founded in 2007, Citizens’ Climate Lobby is a nonprofit that works to build the political will for climate change solutions. The McHenry County Chapter, established in 2014, is just one of many chapters across the world.

“All of our chapters have the same goal, which is addressing the problem of fossil fuel carbon emissions that

are hurting our planet,” said Rick Johnson, co-leader of the McHenry County Chapter.

The “Years of Living Dangerously” series helps bring national attention on climate change and the organizations working on solutions that communities, companies and governments can use to address it. Next week’s episode will highlight Citizens’ Climate Lobby’s efforts to bring both the Republican and Democratic parties together to solve the problem of climate change.

To further spark people’s interest in attending, Johnson said the viewing party also will include a video containing a special message from actors Bradley Whitford and Don Cheadle along with climatologist Katharine Hayhoe.

Thursday’s viewing party will be open to the public and free of charge.

For information, email Johnson at mchenry@citizensclimatelobby.org.

Dedicated to improving the lives of mothers through support, education and advocacy.

NORTHWEST HERALD CARY – The McHenry County Coroner’s Office has identified the person killed by a train Tuesday evening as a 17-year-old boy from Crystal Lake.

An autopsy performed Wednesday revealed he died from multiple blunt traumatic injuries, according to a news release from the coroner’s office. His identity is not being released at this time, the release stated.

About 5:10 p.m. Tuesday, someone reported that a pedestrian jumped in front of a commuter train near the railroad crossing at Three Oaks Road and Route 14, Cary 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.

By EUGENIA LAST Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – You’ll have plenty to consider if you have taken on too much this year. Secure your home base before you get any deeper into a project or situation that can lead to neglecting the people you love or your personal environment. Restructure your plans if it will help avoid backlash.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Design a blueprint that you know will work, and present what you have to offer with confidence. Stick to your plans to stop others from taking advantage of you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Emotions will flare up if you get into conversations with peo-

ple in positions of authority. Don’t burn bridges, or you will end up getting stuck with a messy cleanup job.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Keep your plans simple and your goals realistic. There is plenty to gain by being prepared and taking your time to go over the small but important details.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – If you want to get ahead, stop being so accommodating and stay focused on your own passion. Develop an idea and call in favors that will lead to your success.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – The unpredictable nature of what’s going on around you will be unnerving. Do your best, take a disciplined approach to your responsibilities and don’t lose sight of your goals.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Keep life simple.

Hanging out with the wrong people will lead to loss, injury or emotional stress. Making personal improvements and investing in your future will be in your best interest.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – A change of attitude or mood will develop if an unexpected loss occurs due to a lack of reserve or insight. Make sure you do your homework before you take on an impossible task.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Take it easy when it comes to your health and physical wellness.

Too much of anything will lead to trouble. Focus on love, nurturing important relationships and making travel or educational plans.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Bring about positive change at work and home by pursuing what makes you happy. Have faith in your ability to

get things done. An unusual offer will spark interest.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Set aside a space at home to develop or expand a project you want to pursue, or attend a networking event. Romance is highlighted, and sharing your feelings will encourage a commitment.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Emotions will surface when you deal with personal or domestic matters. Don’t let anyone use manipulative tactics to guilt you into something you don’t agree with or want to do.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Plan an adventure or sign up for something that will help you develop skills, experience and knowledge.

Doing your own thing will lead to discord with someone who feels left out.

Pension aid for Chicago schools vetoed

By IVAN MORENO The Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois Democrats failed Thursday to override the Republican governor’s veto of $215 million to help the financially struggling Chicago Public Schools with pension payments as negotiations on an overdue state budget broke down again.

Using its Democratic supermajority, the Senate quickly voted to overturn Gov. Bruce Rauner’s move, but the House adjourned for the year Thursday evening without bringing the override question for a vote. Although the House has 15 days to try again, it’s unclear if there is enough support in the chamber.

Losing the money would be a huge blow to the finances at CPS, which crafted the current year’s budget expecting the funds. Without state support, officials at the nation’s third-largest school district have warned of budget cuts and in the past they’ve said that could include layoffs.

The veto was the latest budgetary battle between Democratic legislative leaders and the former venture capitalist, who has tried since taking office to change Illinois’ political system by weakening unions and making the state friendlier to businesses.

Illinois Legislature OKs Exelon subsidy plan

SPRINGFIELD – A plan to keep two nuclear power plants operating and save thousands of Illinois jobs is on its way to Gov. Bruce Rauner.

The Senate voted, 32-18, to approve the plan Thursday night just an hour after it got House approval, 63-38.

The measure provides $235 million a year to Exelon Corp. for 13 years. Exelon counts it as a subsidy for nuclear power producing no gases harmful to the atmosphere.

It allows unprofitable nuclear plants in Clinton and the Quad Cities to stay open.

Proponents said it will cost electricity ratepayers less than 25 cents a month and provide hundreds of millions of dollars in energy-efficiency programs.

Lawmakers, lobbyists and visitors stand along the “Brass Rail” outside the House chambers during the veto session Thursday at the Illinois State Capitol in Springfield.

Rauner wants Democrats to help him enact part of his agenda, but neither side has budged and that has left Illinois without a budget for 18 months – the longest any state has gone since at least World War II. The gridlock has crippled social service programs and left higher education institutions facing

financial uncertainty because of less state support than they’ve received in the past.

The parties had agreed to the Chicago Public Schools funding in June as part of a six-month spending plan to get the state through the end of the year.

But the money promised came with the

AFSCME files lawsuit to stop Rauner contract terms

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois’ major public-employee union has filed a lawsuit to stop Gov. Bruce Rauner from imposing contract terms because negotiations have been declared hopelessly deadlocked.

The action is likely only temporary, however.

The state council of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees went to labor-friendly St. Clair County on Wednesday. It’s asking a judge to bar Republican Rauner from taking action to implement the contract.

A state labor board ruled this month that talks are officially at “impasse.”

That means the governor can impose whatever contract conditions he chooses. The union can accept or strike.

But the complaint argues impasse isn’t official until issued in writing, which

Illinois shutters nation’s last prison roundhouse

CREST HILL – Illinois has shuttered the nation’s last prison roundhouse, a circular lockup with a guard tower in the middle that critics said created an especially harsh environment for inmates.

The state Department of Corrections began transferring the last prisoners from the maximum-security F House at Stateville to other locations on Oct. 26, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.

The last 36 inmates were moved out Wednesday.

Closing the unit, which was built in 1922, will allow the department to divert $10.3 million in maintenance costs into other housing units and programs, officials said.

condition that lawmakers would work on a separate plan to overhaul a statewide pension system that’s more than $100 billion. Democratic Senate President John Cullerton denied Thursday there had been such a deal. Immediately afterward, Rauner vetoed the funding.

“Breaking our agreement undermines our effort to end the budget impasse and enact reforms with bipartisan support,” Rauner said in his veto message to lawmakers.

Chicago Public Schools has a “junk” status from credit agencies and narrowly averted a teachers strike in October.

Leaders of the 400,000-student district built the $5.4 billion budget expecting the $215 million to pay the employer’s contribution to teachers’ pensions. The payment is due in June.

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel accused Rauner of “lashing out,” calling the veto “reckless and irresponsible.”

For months, Chicago Public Schools CEO Forrest Claypool, whom Emanuel appointed, said the aid was necessary to avoid cuts. He said Thursday that school officials and allies would fight the veto and floated the possibility of a civil rights lawsuit over unfair funding practices. Most students in the largely black and Hispanic school district are low-income.

Bloody month in Chicago brings death toll past 700

CHICAGO – Chicago experienced more than twice as many homicides in November as it did during the same month in 2015, and more than any November in nearly a quarter century, according to police statistics released Thursday.

The 77 homicides recorded last month bring the city’s 2016 total to 701, with a month to go until year’s end. It is the first time Chicago has eclipsed the 700 mark in a year since 1998, and puts the city on a pace to end 2016 with nearly 300 more homicides than were recorded last year.

Police, law enforcement officials and community members said the reasons start with criminals in Chicago that are more emboldened than they have been in years

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Sheriff: Suspect in credit union incident charged

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – After an armed robbery suspect put a gun to the back of one hostage’s head, SWAT team members resolved at the first chance they had Thursday to storm a north Florida credit union where nearly a dozen people were being held, authorities say.

That moment came, they say, when two people hiding inside the Jacksonville building, unbeknown to the suspect, made a run for it, distracting the man.

SWAT team members stormed the credit union and put themselves between the gunman and the 11 hostages, ending a two-hour standoff, Jacksonville Sheriff Mike Williams said.

The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office identified the suspect on social media as 23-year-old Nicholas Daquan Humphrey, of Tampa. He was charged Thursday evening with one count of armed robbery and 13 counts of kidnapping. Jail records didn’t list an attorney for Humphrey.

Group criticizes vets joining pipeline protest

FARGO, N.D. – Some military veterans in North Dakota disagree with the 2,000 veterans planning to join a protest opposing the four-state, $3.8 billion Dakota Access pipeline.

The North Dakota Veterans Coordinating Council has sent

a letter to the “Veterans Stand for Standing Rock” group asking them not go to the southern part of the state where hundreds are camped out because it’ll create more tension and increase the burden on law enforcement, council president Russ Stabler said Thursday.

The council doesn’t have an opinion about the pipeline, which is mostly complete aside from a portion on federal land under a Missouri River reservoir that’s been held up, and supports anyone who wants to protest peacefully. But, he said, the demonstrations have not been conducted in “the military manner in which our veterans behave.”

French president rules out 2017 run

PARIS – France’s President Francois Hollande announced in a surprise televised address Thursday that he would not seek a second term in next year’s presidential election, acknowledging that his personal unpopularity might cost his Socialist party the Elysee.

“I have decided not to be a candidate in the presidential election,” Hollande said in the prime time slot, adding that he hoped by stepping aside to give the Socialists a chance to win “against conservatism and, worse still, extremism.”

Trump salutes Carrier for saving jobs in Ind.

By JONATHAN LEMIRE The Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS – Donald Trump saluted workers, owners and himself Thursday at a Carrier plant in Indiana, declaring that a deal to keep a local plant open instead of moving operations to Mexico was only the first of many business victories to come in the U.S. with him as president.

Trump’s stop at the heating and air conditioning giant’s plant, his first major public appearance since the election more than two weeks ago, marked the opening of a victory tour to states that helped him win. He was appearing at a big rally in Cincinnati on Thursday night.

His speaking style, while calmer than on the campaign trail, was similar to the seemingly stream-of-conscious efforts of the past year. While focusing on the hundreds of jobs he said he had saved from moving to Mexico, he also found time to talk about his Hoosier state primary performance, former Indiana University basketball coach Bob Knight and the wall he has promised to build along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Some questions remain about the extent of the victory at Carrier, which announced this week that it will keep an Indianapolis plant open. In February, the heating and air conditioning company said that it would shut the plant and send jobs to Mexico, and video of angry workers being informed about the decision soon went viral.

“We’re going to build the wall,” Trump said, repeating his vow to construct an impenetrable southern border. “Trust me: We’re going to build that wall.” In other recent remarks, he has suggested that he might actually go for a fence along some portions of the border.

President-elect Donald Trump greets workers Thursday after speaking at Carrier Corp. in Indianapolis.

“The Rust Belt is so incredible but we’re losing companies, it’s unbelievable. Just one after the other,” Trump said to workers at the Indianapolis plant. “Companies are not going to leave the United States anymore without consequences. It’s not going to happen. It’s simply not going to happen.”

During the campaign, he had often pointed to the Indiana plant’s moving plans and a major result of poor Obama administration policies, and he pledged to revive U.S. manufacturing. Officials said this week that Carrier had agreed to keep some 800 union jobs at the plant but Trump suggested Thursday that it could exceed 1,100.

A call to a Carrier spokesman to clarify was not immediately returned. Earlier Thursday, Seth Martin, a spokesman for Carrier, said that Indiana offered the air conditioning and furnace manufacturer $7 million in tax incentives after negotiations with Trump’s team to keep some jobs in the state.

Chuck Jones, the head of the USW Local 1999 union that represents the workers, said the additional jobs in Trump’s count were previously set to

be saved.

The company’s decision is something of a reversal, since earlier offers from the state had failed to sway Carrier.

Trump said he personally called Greg Hayes, the CEO of United Technologies, Carrier’s parent, to seal the deal, jokingly asking Hayes, “If I lost would you have picked up the phone?”

The president-elect threatened during the campaign to impose sharp tariffs on any company that shifted its factories to Mexico. And his advisers have promoted lower corporate tax rates as a means of keeping jobs in the U.S. Trump repeated both ideas on Thursday.

He toured the factory with his running mate Mike Pence – who, as the outgoing governor of Indiana, was well-situated to aid negotiations – and shook hands with several workers whose jobs would be preserved. Trump pointed to one and yelled at reporters “He’s going to have a good Christmas.”

Although hundreds may keep their jobs, others apparently will not, since about 1,400 workers were slated to be laid off – and many workers have not yet been told their fate.

A burned car sits in a parking lot Wednesday in Gatlinburg, Tenn., after a wildfire swept through the area Monday. tains National Park into the tourist city of Gatlinburg as hurricane-force winds toppled trees and power lines, blowing embers in all directions.

“We had trees going down everywhere, power lines, all those power lines were just like lighting a match because of the extreme drought con-

ditions. So we went from nothing to over 20-plus structure fires in a matter of minutes. And that grew and that grew and that grew,” Gatlinburg Fire Chief Greg Miller said.

‘A clear shot’ – police kill suspect, rescue children The ASSOCIATED PRESS SEATTLE – A Washington state police officer responding to a domestic violence call was fatally shot and his fellow officers still were “taking fire” as they removed him from a home, beginning an 11-hour standoff during which authorities say the gunman used two young children as human shields.

The fallen officer, Reginald “Jake” Gutierrez, had served with the department since 1999 and was highly respected and experienced, Tacoma Police Chief Donald Ramsdell told reporters Thursday.

Dozens of officers had surrounded the home in Tacoma on Wednesday night, urging nearby residents of the working class neighborhood of single-family homes to shelter in place.

Early Thursday, authorities say a deputy got “a clear shot” and killed the suspect as officers rescued an 8-yearold girl and a 6-year-old boy.

Pierce County sheriff’s spokesman Ed Troyer said the gunman had refused to surrender during negotiations.

His name was not released.

“We were able to get the suspect cornered and trapped, even though he had two kids,” Troyer said. “We had a

SWAT member who had a clear shot.

We fired one round, which struck him.”

Ramsdell said the incident began Wednesday afternoon when animal control officers working near the house were approached by a woman who said her husband had locked her out and taken her phone. The officers called police.

Gutierrez and his female partner went into the home, and Gutierrez was shot as he reached the top of the stairs to speak with the suspect, Ramsdell said. The female officer shot back and ran from the house, taking the wife to safety.

Tacoma police spokeswoman Loretta Cool described the hectic scene that

led to the standoff.

“We had an officer down and shots still firing at the time,” Cool said. Police managed to get the officer out “but they were still taking fire,” she said.

Officers didn’t immediately know there were children in the house and became aware of their presence during the standoff, she said.

“When they were able to rescue the boy, there was an opening to rescue the girl,” Cool said. “That provoked the shot to take the suspect out.”

Authorities discovered multiple weapons inside the house but did not describe them in detail. Few details were released about the treatment of the children by the suspect.

Ramsdell said the suspect did not have a “serious background in regards to criminal history” but there may have been issues with mental illness.

Kristi Croskey, who rented the house to the suspect and his wife, was inside the home at the time and barricaded herself in the bathroom before she was able to escape, KOMO-TV reported.

She said police came to the residence because the suspect was fighting with his wife and refused to let her back inside.

GATLINBURG, Tenn. – Crews discovered the remains of three more people as they searched the rubble of wildfires that torched hundreds of homes and businesses near the Great Smoky Mountains, bringing the death toll to 11, officials said Thursday.

Authorities set up a hotline for people to report missing friends and relatives, and after following up on dozens of leads, they said many of those people had been accounted for.

They did not say whether they believe anyone else is still missing or might have died.

“I think it’s fair to say that the search is winding down,” Sevier County Mayor Larry Waters said. “And hopefully we will not find any more.”

He said the searches would likely be completed Friday. Nearly 24 hours of rain on Wednesday helped dampen the wildfires, but fire officials struck a cautious tone, saying people shouldn’t have a false sense of security because months of drought have left the ground bone-dry and wildfires can rekindle.

The trouble began Monday when a wildfire, likely caused by a person, spread from the Great Smoky Moun-

tourist city has been shuttered ever since. At least 700 buildings in the county have been damaged.

“Gatlinburg is the people, that’s what Gatlinburg is. It’s not the buildings, it’s not the stuff in the buildings,” Mayor Mike Werner said.

“We’re gonna be back better than ever. Just be patient.”

Starting Friday, homeowners, business owners, renters and lease holders will be allowed to go see most of their Gatlinburg properties, said City Manager Cindy Cameron Ogle.

The city is hoping to open main roads to the general public on Wednesday.

There were other signs of recovery.

Waters declared that Sevier County was “open for business.” In nearby Pigeon Forge, the Comedy House rented an electronic billboard message that said it was open for laughs, and a flyer at a hotel urged guests to check out the scenic Cades Cove loop. “Take a drive and remember what you love about the Smokies!” the flyer said.

Great Smoky Mountains National Park Superintendent Cassius Cash has said the fires were “likely to be human-caused” but he has refused to elaborate, saying only that the investigation continues.

Death toll from wildfires increases to 11

Anger grows amid reports of lack of fuel in plane crash The ASSOCIATED PRESS MEDELLIN, Colombia – Authorities prepared Thursday to transport home the bodies of dozens of victims of this week’s air tragedy in Colombia as grief turned to anger amid indications the airliner ran out of fuel before slamming into the Andes. Bolivian aviation officials announced they were indefinitely suspending the charter company that operated the flight.

Many of the victims were players and coaches from a small-town Brazilian soccer team that was headed to the finals of one of South America’s most prestigious tournaments after a fairytale season that had captivated their soccer-crazed nation.

On Thursday, row upon row of caskets, many covered with white sheets printed with the logo of the Chapecoense soccer team, filled a Medellin funeral home in preparation for being flown home, as family members of some victims gathered there to say their final goodbyes.

Grieving relatives of the dead spoke out in disbelief after a recording of conversations between a pilot of the doomed flight and air traffic controllers, as well as the account of a surviving flight attendant, indicated the plane ran out of fuel before crashing late Monday, killing all but six of the 77 people on board.

t Greals i o S

Osmar Machado, whose son, Filipe, a defender on the Chapecoense team, died on his father’s 66th birthday, questioned why the plane, which was flying at its maximum range on the flight from Santa Cruz, Bolivia, was transporting the team. “Profit brings greed,� Machado said, speaking in the Brazilian team’s hometown of Chapeco. “This plane ended (the lives of) 71 people.�

Williams Brasiliano, uncle of midfielder Arthur Maia, said the crash was avoidable if the team had chosen a commercial airline to travel to Colombia – not a charter. “Look how complicated that flight was going to be even if it had arrived,�

Brasiliano said tearfully of the team’s itinerary, which included a flight from Sao Paulo to Bolivia on a commercial airliner before the ill-fated flight to Medellin. “Even if they had arrived, it is clear that they would be tired from the trip to play a final. This can’t be right. I doubt that a bigger club would have done the same,� he said.

Chapecoense spokesman Andrei Copetti defended the team’s decision, saying that more than 30 clubs had used the Bolivia-based company, LaMia airlines, including Argentina and Bolivia, and that the team itself had flown on its flights before.

By PAUL WISEMAN and JOE McDONALD The Associated Press WASHINGTON – American consumers and businesses would pay – literally – if President-elect Donald Trump followed through on his campaign pledge to slap big taxes on imports from China and Mexico.

Trump said during the campaign that he’d impose tariffs of 35 percent on Mexican imports and 45 percent on Chinese imports to protect American jobs from unfair foreign competition. Companies that import those goods would pay the tax at the border.

Many of those firms would likely try to heap as much of the cost as possible on their customers. The result is that American consumers could end up paying more for foreign-made clothing, tablet computers and other electronics.

A 45 percent tariff on Chinese-made goods could drive up U.S. retail prices on those goods by an average of about 10 percent, Capital Economics has calculated. Consumers would find it hard to escape the price squeeze.

“There are few alternative sources for the main products the U.S. buys from China,” said Mark Williams, Capital Economics’ chief Asia economist. He noted, for example, that China supplies about 70 percent of the world’s network equipment, cellphones, laptops and tablet computers.

Since Trump’s election, his team has de-emphasized the use of tariffs, describing them as a potential tool to be used to pry concessions from America’s trading partners.

“Everybody talks about tariffs as the

Donald Trump said during his campaign that he’d impose tariffs of 35 percent on Mexican imports and 45 percent on Chinese imports. first thing,” Wilbur Ross, an investment banker who is Trump’s choice for Commerce secretary, told CNBC Wednesday.

“Tariffs are part of the negotiation.”

They would also be risky. Tariffs could ignite a trade war if, as expected, China and Mexico retaliated by imposing tariffs or other sanctions of their own on the U.S. Analysts said Trump might rethink his tough trade talk once he fully weighs the costs – not all of which would be economic. A trade war would likely have diplomatic consequences, making it harder, for example, to enlist China’s help in trying to defuse the threat from North Korea’s nuclear ambitions.

“It will only result in collateral damages to both sides,” said economist Song Lifang of Renmin University in Beijing.

Even without a broader conflict, tariffs can damage corporate America. Back in 2002, President George W. Bush imposed tariffs of up to 30 percent on imported steel. American steel producers took advantage of the tariffs to raise their own prices, thereby squeezing U.S. industrial companies that buy steel. The Consuming Industries Trade Action Coalition, representing steel buyers, has said the tariffs cost thousands of U.S. jobs.

“That was an awful thing for us,” said Bill Smith, president of Termax

Corp. of Lake Zurich, which makes fasteners for the auto industry. “We are pretty nervous here at Termax” that Trump will target Chinese steel with tariffs again.

Smith said Termax wouldn’t be able to pass along the higher cost to its automaker customers – “They can just choose to use a different (foreign) manufacturer” – and would have to absorb the costs itself.

Ford Motor CEO Mark Fields warned on CNBC last month that a 35 percent tariff on imports from Mexico, where Ford is building its Focus compact car, “would affect the entire auto sector.”

Trump’s proposed tariffs reflect frustration over the trade deficits in goods the U.S. runs with China ($367 billion last year) and Mexico ($61 billion). The deficit is the gap between the value of the goods the U.S. exports and the larger value of the goods it imports.

China’s Global Times newspaper, published by the ruling Communist Party’s People’s Daily, speculated that if Trump’s proposed tariffs are enacted, “China will take a tit-for-tat approach.”

“A batch of (U.S.) Boeing orders will be replaced by (Europe’s) Airbus,” it said. “U.S. auto and iPhone sales in China will suffer a setback, and U.S. soybean and maize imports will be halted.”

Farmers in Mississippi, Missouri, Tennessee and Arkansas would suffer if China targeted American soybeans in retaliation for any Trump tariffs, according to the Peterson Institute for International Economics. It said rural Sharkey County, Mississippi, could lose up to 40 percent of its jobs.

Amending the amendment?

Imagine you live in a place that passed an amendment to its state constitution, and 10 days after the election, no one is really sure what effect the amendment will have.

It couldn’t happen. It’s irrational.

But, what can we say? It’s Illinois.

The recently passed Illinois Transportation Taxes and Fees Lockbox Amendment received an overwhelming 79 percent of the vote. It required 60 percent for passage.

And, on the surface, the amendment sounded like a good thing – all tax monies raised for transportation have to be spent for transportation. The funds cannot be swept by unscrupulous politicians to be used for other purposes.

At first glance, it sounds like a no-brainer. That is, until you start peeling back the onion. And, you don’t have to go down many layers until your eyes start burning.

As it turns out, the amendment could have a devastating effect on the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. The amendment states that no monies derived from taxes, fees, excises or license taxes can be expended for anything other than costs of construction, reconstruction, maintenance repair and betterment of public highways, roads, streets, bridges, airports or anything relating to transportation.

Again, on its face, this sounds reasonable. The devil, as always, is in the details.

The IDNR is an agency that is still woefully understaffed. State parks are up to their picnic tables in debt. The one thing keeping IDNR afloat is the Sustainability Bill passed in 2012. The bill provided for a $2 surcharge on each license plate sold in Illinois. The money was earmarked for operation and maintenance of state parks.

The Sustainability Bill nets about $20 million each year for the IDNR. Which brings us to an uncomfortable chicken and egg situation: Does the Lockbox Amendment trump the Sustainability Bill? Is the Sustainability Bill nullified? Can the money generated by the Sustainability Bill only be used for road projects within state parks? No one seems to know.

Ask legislators about it and they stammer uncomfortably. Ask the IDNR about it and you get a pat answer: “Our official position is we are reviewing potential impacts on DNR budget,” said IDNR spokesperson Tim Schweizer.

What’s more, no one seems to have an idea when answers will be forthcoming.

Perhaps in 2018 we’ll be voting on amending the amendment.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Tweets vs. the U.S. Constitution It’s not easy to run afoul of two constitutional amendments in 140 characters. Whether he realizes it or, more likely, not, President-elect Donald Trump did so in this Twitter outburst Tuesday: “Nobody should be allowed to burn the American flag – if they do, there must be consequences – perhaps loss of citizenship or year in jail!” The Supreme Court ruled in 1989 that the First Amendment protects burning the flag in protest. The high court ruled in 1967 that the 14th Amendment not only grants U.S. citizenship to “all persons born or naturalized” in this country; it also forbids the government from taking citizenship away from them.

In effect, then, Trump is proposing two constitutional changes – both of which provide further evidence of his tendency to address differences and disagreements within American society by suggesting new limits on their expression, or by excluding people from the American community altogether. We have seen this

tendency at work in his call to “open up” libel laws – i.e., make it easier for public figures such as himself to sue when newspapers criticize them – and in his floating a religious test for entrants from abroad.

On flag-burning, his view is no doubt popular: Forty-eight states and Congress outlawed it before the Supreme Court ruled in 1989; subsequent Congresses voted repeatedly to reinstate such a rule in various ways, albeit not by the two-thirds of both houses necessary to send a constitutional amendment to the states.

Nor does the political right have a monopoly on burn-banning.

Justice John Paul Stevens, one of recent history’s most eloquent judicial progressives, dissented, passionately, in the flag-burning case. In 2005, none other than Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., co-sponsored (unsuccessfully) a bill to bar flag-burning when intended to “incite violence.”

Burning-banners’ arguments ultimately founder on the rock of

the First Amendment, which, if it means anything, means that the people have the right to express their views through the widest possible range of nonviolent means. It is ironic that a man elected on a platform of opposition to hypersensitive “political correctness” would embrace a flag-burning ban. Another irony: Among those who understood the democratic necessity of protecting even the most unpopular expression was Justice Antonin Scalia, whom Trump purports to admire, and whose successor he will soon nominate. Many fellow conservatives disliked it, but Scalia often cited his vote to protect flag-burning as an example of how the Constitution limited his power, and that of all other government officials, to stamp out ideas they personally despised.

It would be President Trump’s prerogative to urge Congress, and the states, to rewrite the First Amendment along more repressive lines. Like Scalia, we prefer – The Washington Post the original.

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.

VIEWS Marco Hafner dataset and data on sleep duration from the five countries, we were able to quantify the predicted economic effects from lack of sleep. Out of the five countries, Japan had the largest GDP loss as a result of lack of sleep (2.92 percent), closely followed by the United States (2.28 percent) and the United Kingdom (1.86 percent). Canada and Germany had the smallest GDP loss as a result of lack of sleep (1.35 and 1.56 percent, respectively).

While these percentage figures may seem small, they equate to net losses of hundreds of billions of dollar per year, $411 billion per year from the U.S. economy alone. These costs are primarily the result of productivity losses, an estimated 1.23 million missed working days per year from the U.S. workforce (a lack of proper sleep can weaken the immune system, increase the risk for infectious illness, and cause fatigue and depression, all of which can lead to absenteeism), and a 10 percent increased risk of mortality (which also cuts

down on the workforce prematurely) as a result of lost sleep.

The results were also massive in the other countries evaluated. Japan loses as much as $138 billion and 604,000 working days a year and the United Kingdom loses $50 billion and 207,000 working days a year. Even Germany, known for its efficiency and high levels of productivity, loses as much as $60 billion and 209,000 working days a year. Meanwhile, Canada’s losses, despite being smaller, are still significant: as much as $21.4 billion and 78,000 working days a year.

While the results highlight that sleep deprivation is a global issue, they also suggest that improving sleep habits and duration can have big implications, not only for an individual’s health and well-being but also for the global economy.

Our research has shown that simple changes to sleep duration can make a big difference. For example, if Americans who sleep less than six hours a night increase their nightly sleep to between six and seven hours a night, this could add $226.4 billion to the U.S. economy.

There are certainly many in business and government who say they

can get by on just a few hours of sleep per night without it affecting their health or their work, but they are not representative of the general population. Putting a dollar figure on sleeplessness might open some eyes among the sleep-challenged in boardrooms and government offices. Some major employers are already beginning to highlight sleep -- Aetna has a sleep incentive program for its employees, and the U.S. Army has developed the Performance Triad, which puts sleep on par with diet and physical fitness as the pillars of soldier performance.

Sleep and sleep loss are often considered to be among the most intimate of personal behaviors, but sleep matters to all aspects of society, from an individual’s health to the success of the global economy. Changing your sleeping habits and duration may not only make you healthier and more productive, it also could contribute to an increase in the world’s bottom line.

IT’S YOUR WRITE Statement from recently retired State’s Attorney Lou Bianchi

To the Editor: My term as State’s Attorney of McHenry County [ended] on Wednesday, Nov. 30, 2016. After serving 12 years as an elected official, preparing to leave is bittersweet. While I look forward to change, prosecuting violent crimes allowed me the opportunity to help keep our community safe and provide a healthy environment in which to raise a family. I will also miss the occasion to positively impact the lives of others through the specialty courts: mental health court, drug court, domestic violence court, as well as the State’s Attorney’s Office First Offender and Check Enforcement Programs.

However, change is inevitable and I look forward to the next state’s attorney, Patrick Kenneally, to continue with these programs and initiate new, innovative ones that positively impact our society and wellbeing.

I will miss working with the 31 assistant state’s attorneys, administrative assistants, victim witness coordinators, and investigators. They

are the real defenders who work hard to make a difference and do justice.

They protect the rights and safety of all the people in our cities, towns and villages throughout McHenry County.

Every day, they look into the eyes of people who are victimized by crime.

They may be a parent, spouse or child of a murder victim. They themselves may be a victim of another type of crime. Whatever the circumstances, they are looking to the prosecutor to hold accountable the perpetrator who harmed them. Our prosecutors work for victims who often have no one else to depend on to give them some sense of justice.

I would like to take this time to express my sincerest gratitude and heartfelt thanks to the citizens of McHenry County for allowing me the opportunity to lead the office as state’s attorney and for their support for me and our office these past 12 years.

It has been a tremendous honor and privilege to work for and serve our community.

‘Keep calm and carry on’

To the Editor: It’s pretty interesting to see all the liberals whining about the Electoral College and saying that their votes didn’t count, especially when Trump won 92 of Illinois’ 102 counties yet got zero electoral votes.

Seems a lot of people didn’t take a civics class in high school, or don’t remember it.

The United States was never a democracy.

It’s a democratic republic by intent. The Constitution was carefully crafted to give power to the citizens but not all power.

By design, there are checks and balances, with powers vested in both federal and state governments. Even the three branches of the federal government have boundaries on their powers.

Eliminating the electoral college in the name of democracy modifies our form of

government. Next, we’ll be eliminating the Senate, which reflects state rights, not voter majority. Should we allow California voters to annex Nevada? And population growth in Texas is exceeding it’s long-term fresh water supply. Can they and other parched states vote to take Great Lakes water? Majority rule may not turn out so well for everybody.

The U.S. had a free and fair election on Nov. 8, following rules understood by every politician. We’ve survived and thrived through presidents good and bad, and rarely had universal agreement on which was which. I suggest everyone take a deep breath and, to quote the British, “keep calm and carry on.” When you don’t win by the rules, the answer is not changing the rules.

Myriad business executives and heads of state have said they get by on little to no sleep. President Barack Obama told Vanity Fair in 2012 that he didn’t shut off the lights at the White House until 1 a.m. and rose each morning before 6. Internet pioneer Vint Cerf made his thoughts on the topic clear: “Sleep is a waste of time.” And President-elect Donald Trump, who wrote in his 2004 book “Think Like a Billionaire” that he sleeps only about four hours per night, recommended “don’t sleep any more than you have to.”

Such messages are not supported by substantial research that documents the health dangers of sleep deprivation. Our latest research – “Why Sleep Matters: Quantifying the Economic Costs of Insufficient Sleep” – goes a step further and puts a price tag on sleeplessness around the world.

Lack of sleep exacts an economic toll of more than half a trillion dollars per year in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany and Japan alone. The lack of sleep in these countries and across the globe affects work, business and, as a result, the world’s economy.

Aldrin, 86, was visiting Antarctica as a tourist when he fell ill. He was flown to Christchurch, New Zealand, from McMurdo Station, a U.S. research center on the Antarctic coast.

Tour company White Desert said Aldrin has fluid in his lungs, but was responding well to antibiotics. He’ll remain hospitalized overnight for observation. His manager Christina Korp, who accompanied him, said he was in good spirits.

On Twitter, she said the past 24 hours had been grueling. She posted side-by-side photos of Aldrin – one on a stretcher giving a thumbs-up with a purple knit cap on his head, another in a hospital bed, on oxygen and with an IV in his left arm.

Aldrin and Neil Armstrong became the first men on the moon on July 20, 1969. Armstrong died in 2012.

Just three weeks ago, Aldrin was at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida for the unveiling of a new astronaut exhibit. The ceremony coincided with the 50th anniversary of his launch with Jim Lovell on Gemini 12, the last of the two-man Gemini flights. Both were present and looked as energetic as usual.

Aldrin has crisscrossed the globe in recent months and years, pushing hard for human exploration of Mars and promoting space and science education.

5 things happened when I stopped making my kids share

By AMANDA ELDER The Washington Post There was a time when my 4-year-old could snatch toys from his 1-year-old brother without it causing a problem.

We had a good run with that, but I knew the time would come when my younger boy would be just as passionate, possessive and opinionated as his brother. So it was no surprise when, a few months ago, I began spending a lot of time breaking up arguments and playing referee.

I couldn’t imagine spending the next 18 years trying to top their yelling, so I revisited the teachings of early childhood educator Magda Gerber, whose work focused on the importance of respecting and connecting with children.

She advocated trusting even the littlest of people to handle their own issues and resisting the urge to interfere with their learning and playing.

On the subject of sharing, Gerber said adults should not force children to give away items, or obsess over “who had it first.” All children go through phases of possessiveness, Gerber said, so she encouraged parents to trust those phases are temporary and normal rather than indicators of selfishness or social ineptitude. She said adults need to realize children’s play doesn’t always

look the way we imagine it and kids can solve many problems on their own, without constant interference. After all, those struggles are how they learn.

With this in mind, I decided to stop constantly jumping in and saying, “No, no. You must share.” I gave up constantly directing and interfering, and started standing back, observing and giving my children more opportunities to problem-solve on their own.

Here are the benefits I noticed: They learn how to negotiate. A few weeks ago, with my husband working late, I sat at the dining room table with a meal in front of me. My younger son, Asher, had the remote to the light and ceiling fan. He was fascinated by it and proud of his ability to turn it off and on. Javin, my 4-year-old, came over and said, “Hey! I wanna see that!” I was between them, but I didn’t say anything.

I had made it clear the new house rule is no one has to hand over something they’re playing with just because someone else wants it. Javin went to a kitchen drawer and brought back a spoon.

He said, “Here, I’ll trade you this spoon for the remote.” Asher declined. After a couple of moments, Asher offered the remote to Javin, not out of obligation, but because he was done with it and felt ready to share. Everyone was happy, and the problem was solved without any

direction from me.

Sometimes they aren’t truly fighting, but playing. A few days ago, my children

seemed to be arguing over a necklace.

Asher came squealing into the bathroom and crouched beside the toilet with the necklace tucked between his legs so his brother couldn’t get it. Javin ran in, then they both ran out laughing and smiling. If I had jumped in when I thought they were struggling, I would have wasted my energy and robbed them of the game that came out of it.

They give more freely. Recently, I was outside with my boys, walking around and riding scooters. A mask fell out of the stroller I was pushing, and Asher asked me to put it on him. Javin wailed, “Nooooo! That’s mine!” Asher was somewhat distracted, so I said, “You’re right – it’s yours. I’ll keep it safe for you,” as I tucked it back into the stroller. When Asher looked back up at me for it, I told him we could go inside and get the one that belongs to him. That’s when Javin said, “Actually, I don’t really care if he plays with it.” This type of behavior has been much more common since I stopped making them share.

When Javin knew it was his choice, he was fine with sharing.

They learn they don’t always get what they want. On a recent evening, Asher

had a rubber band Javin wanted. Javin

politely, and repeatedly, asked, “Can I please see that?” But Asher denied the request each time. Javin tried trading him two Matchbox cars for it, but still, no deal. As Javin sulked, I couldn’t help but think it was good for him. Sometimes it doesn’t matter how upset we get, how nicely we ask, or how well we try to negotiate: The answer is still no.

Their play is more engaged. Children who don’t worry about their things being stripped from them don’t feel the need to rush their play or look over their shoulders. They are free to immerse themselves in the moment with confidence their ownership, projects and space will be honored.

It’s just as important for children to know they don’t have to give something away just because someone else wants it, as it is for others to know they won’t receive something simply because they desire it. It gives our kids practice in saying no and teaches them it’s not mean, but honest. We should grant them the joy that comes from giving from their hearts rather than obligation. An added bonus: Since I’ve stopped forcing my kids to share, my life has become easier because I’m not the only problem-solver in the house. The struggles haven’t gone away, but when they do disagree, they are learning to be creative, respectful and patient.

creased death rates among people who sit for prolonged periods. The biggest problem is being sedentary in front of a television.

The average American watches more than four hours of television a day. Some studies have found for every additional two hours in front of the television, the risk of diabetes increases 14 to 20 percent.

Here’s why: Sitting for prolonged periods decreases insulin sensitivity, meaning your blood sugar rises. Add to that the types of sugary foods that often are eaten while watching television, and you have the creation of a serious health problem.

If you’re sedentary throughout the day, exercise can help ease the negative impact, but not completely make up for it.

So for starters, watch less television or, if you do watch television, put an exercise bike in front of the screen. Second, if you have a job in which you sit for long periods, take three-minute breaks every 30 minutes to stretch and walk around a little. Every little bit of activity helps.

Dear Readers: Welcome to the second day of our new “Ask the Doctors” column.

As an internist and primary care physician at UCLA Health, my approach to medicine is to understand I don’t have all the answers – I have to learn new topics and review old topics all the time.

Sometimes, I can provide answers right away. But sometimes, I have to stop and reassess. Medicine has seen many breakthroughs since I graduated from medical school nearly 20 years ago, and evidence has changed many dogmatic ways of practice.

Objective, non-biased data are important to the practice of medicine. Doctors must understand how that data can be applied to one person or to large groups of people.

You met my colleagues Dr. Eve Glazier and Dr. Elizabeth Ko yesterday and learned about their approach to health and wellness. My column focuses on common sense answers based on scientific literature. As I increase my professional knowledge, I hope to provide people with thoughtful and deliberate interpretations of medical science that people can use to direct their own health.

Dear Doctor: My job requires me to sit in front of a computer for at least eight hours a day. When I come home, I usually watch television for a few hours before going to bed. Is being so sedentary bad for me?

Dear Reader: Unequivocally, yes. Many studies of many types have found in-

ANSWER TO PREVIOUS PUZZLE O T T E R S

husband of 23 years, “Gerald,” quit his job to start his own law firm. He told me about it only after he had quit. I have tried to be supportive, but seven months down the line, he has spent all our “rainy day” cash and earned only one paycheck. We have two teenagers, one who will be going to college in a year.

I took a high-paying job a year ago to help pay down our mortgage and fund our son’s college expenses. Gerald claimed the bonus money he received when he quit his old job belonged to him to fund the new venture.

He’s now saying seven months is too little time to make any huge decisions, but we are going to start liquidating our 401(k)s. This is where I draw the line. He needs to get a job. I have worked every year of our marriage.

I feel like I’m living with a selfish stranger who calls me a “money-hungry stereotypical female” when I ask when he’ll get paid. Is it time for me to take off the rose-colored glasses and file for divorce? – Stuck In His Midlife Crisis Dear Stuck: Your husband should have discussed his career change with you before he quit the law firm. Do not allow him to push you into taking money from your 401(k). Because your husband hasn’t yet reached retirement age, when he liquidates his, there will be a penalty for early withdrawal. Consult an attorney – other than your husband – about what your next steps should be to protect yourself and your children because your spouse does not appear to be making rational decisions.

Dear Abby: I am writing in response to the letter from “Loving Granddaughter” on July 2, who was asking for ways to prepare for the eventual passing of her grandparents.

A way to help her cope with her premature grief would be to take time to sit down with her grandparents and video a personal interview with them. This “Interview With a Loved One” provides an opportunity to capture her favorite stories and memories as told by her grandparents in their own words.

We started doing this with my grandfather when he first was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, before he started losing his memory.

After he finally succumbed, going back to his interviews was a great way for our family to remember him in the way he would have wanted to be remembered. – Jessica In Missouri Dear Jessica: That’s a wonderful suggestion, one I know will be appreciated by many of my readers. Thank you.

Dear Abby: How do I introduce my unmarried daughter’s baby daddy? Can’t say “husband,” and can’t say “partner” since gays have claimed that word. – I’d Like You To Meet ...

Dear Meet: When you introduce your grandchild’s daddy, use his name and say, “This is ‘John,’ ‘Jessica’s’ partner.” The term is not used exclusively by LGBT people, but by straight couples as well.

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★

We have all heard the expression: When the going gets tough, the tough get going. But I did not know that this is an example of antimetabole: a repetition of words in successive clauses, but in transposed order.

In today’s deal, South is in four spades. What should declarer do after West leads the diamond king to South’s bare ace?

South starts with nine top tricks: seven spades, one heart and one diamond. There are four chances for a 10th winner: no spade loser, the heart finesse working, a club trick being established, or a club ruff on the board.

The major-suit finesses are unlikely to be winning. If West had the club ace and king, surely he would have led that suit in preference to the diamond king. So, the best shot is a club ruff in the dummy.

Anyone who went only that far would immediately lead a low club to dummy’s queen. But East would take that trick and shift to his trump.

South could win with his ace and play another club, but West would win with his nine and cash the spade king. The contract would have to fail.

Declarer must either keep East off the lead (to avoid that spade switch) or make it too expensive for him to win a trick.

South plays a heart to dummy’s ace, then leads the club seven. If East rises with his king, declarer will get a club trick. If East plays low, West takes South’s jack with his ace but cannot safely lead a trump. Declarer ruffs the second diamond and plays another club. East wins and leads his trump, but South wins and ruffs his last club on the board. Tough!

What to watch NBA: Cleveland at Bulls, 7 p.m., CSN, ESPN LeBron James will be Mr. Cub for a little while. To pay off a bet on the World Series he lost to close friend Dwyane Wade, James will wear a Cubs cap, jersey, pants and socks to Friday’s game before the Cavaliers play the Bulls.

James made a friendly LeBron James wager on the Series between the Cleveland Indians and Cubs with Wade, his former Miami teammate and a Chicago native who returned to play in his hometown this season. The Indians lost in seven games as the Cubs rallied from a 3-1 deficit to win their first championship since 1908.

“I’m not wearing cleats,” James said Thursday after the Cavs’ morning shootaround. “I got a basketball game to play.

No glove. Just the uniform. I will be in uniform.”

And that will be quite a sight as the 6-foot-8, 250-pound James isn’t built like any baseball player.

“It’s a bet,” he said. “You have to fulfill your bet. Nothing more to it.”

It’s a bit easier to make good on his bet since he led the Cavs to the NBA title in June, ending Cleveland’s 52-year championship drought.

WRESTLING: HUNTLEY 61, DUNDEE-CROWN 15

By CHRIS CASEY sports@nwherald.com HUNTLEY – Huntley wrestling coach B.J. Bertelsman had a good feeling going into his team’s first Fox Valley Conference dual of the season, hosting Dundee-Crown on Thursday night.

He knew there might be a couple of bumps along the way, but his wrestlers would take care of business when it mattered most. They backed up his words, decisively, as Huntley used a stretch of five straight pins to pull away from the Chargers, 61-15.

“We knew we had better athletes than them coming in,” Bertelsman said. “[Dundee-Crown] is having a rebuilding year, but I didn’t want to leave any doubt in anybody’s mind. I told the kids coming in that I wanted them to go in, dominate and get out.

I think we did that for the most part tonight.”

Pins were the story for Huntley (61, 1-0 FVC), starting with the opening match at 285 pounds. Christian Benitez got a pin at 3:26 over Gabe Kurzynski, the first of eight pins for the Red Raiders.

After D-C’s Ricky Zambrano picked up a win in the dual’s second bout – an 8-2 decision – Huntley freshman Sammy Spencer (113) started a string of five straight pins and seven straight victories for the Red Raiders.

Josh Spencer (120), Zach Spencer (126), Joey Armijo (132) and Luke Loprieno (138) all followed Sammy Spencer’s pin in that dominant fashion.

Zach Spencer had the quickest pin, finishing D-C’s Brandon Rico in 38 seconds.

“Sometimes when you have a stretch of pins going, you get nervous because you don’t want to be the guy that breaks it up and doesn’t get a pin,” Zach Spencer said. “But for me, it gives

me momentum. I just get hyped knowing my teammates are doing well before me. I didn’t really go in looking for a pin that quick, but it just worked out that way.”

Nik Wise (195) and Jacob Catini (220) also had pins in the final two matches for Huntley.

With tough competition Saturday at the Plainfield Central quad that includes host Plainfield Central and Glenbard North, followed by a Dec. 8 FVC dual with Jacobs, Bertelsman knows he’ll find out shortly what his team is all about.

“We’ll see how we are against Jacobs.

That’s the real test,” Bertelsman said.

“I think we’ll be fine against them, but they have surprised us in certain spots over the past couple of years. I expect us to have some good matches there and this weekend. I think we’ll get a real good idea of where we’re at in the next week or so.”

The seven-match winning streak for Huntley was stopped by the most interesting finish of the night.

It appeared Huntley’s Brad Zibilski was going to handle D-C’s Conor Nolan after getting off to a 15-3 advantage.

However, midway through the second period, Nolan took advantage of a miscue and found himself able to pin Zibilski at 3:30.

The Chargers (3-4, 1-1) found wins tough to come by Thursday, but coach Tim Hayes knows growing pains are going to happen with his rather inexperienced group this season.

“A lot of these kids are just learning the sport. A couple guys we had out there were wrestling in their first or second high school matches tonight,” Hayes said. “We’re very, very young, but there was no unity with last year’s team. These guys are starting to enjoy the sport, they want to be around each other and they want to spend time yearround getting better.”

D-C’s Chase Raap had the last win of the night for the Chargers, a pin at 3:53.

While Huntley has a couple of days to prepare and make adjustments for the Plainfield Central quad Saturday, the Chargers are right back in FVC action Friday, hosting Crystal Lake South.

NOTEWORTHY New record: Marian Central junior guard Vannessa Garrelts broke the school’s single-game scoring record with 33 points Tuesday in a 55-41 nonconference win over Alden-Hebron. Garrelts made four 3s, all in the first half, and scored 23 of her 33 points in the game’s first 16 minutes.

She had eight points in the fourth quarter and made 12 baskets in the game and was 5 of 7 from the free-throw line.

Last season, Garrelts tied the school record as a sophomore with 30 points, which first was set in 2013 by Sarah Benigni. Through six games, Garrelts is averaging an area-best 19 points a game for the Hurricanes (4-2), scoring 22 or more points three times in six games.

McHenry wins dual vs.

C-G Blake gets CRYSTAL LAKE CENTRAL

offer from Syracuse

By SEAN HAMMOND shammond@shawmedia.com

After a weekend recruiting visit where there’s plenty of free food available, making weight sometimes can be a struggle.

Crystal Lake Central offensive lineman and first-time wrestler Wyatt Blake has learned that the hard way. The junior, a three-star football prospect according to 247sports.com and Rivals.com, has made plenty of college visits this fall.

In all, he’s visited more than 20 schools. On Thursday, he added another one to his list of scholarship offers.

Syracuse offensive coordinator Sean Lewis paid a visit to Blake and offered him a chance to play for the Orange.

Syracuse joins Blake’s list of eight offers, which includes Central Michigan, Virginia, Vanderbilt, Missouri, Indiana, Northwestern and Duke.

In between weekend college visits, Blake has taken up a new hobby – wrestling.

“Every (college) coach I’ve talked to says they love me wrestling,” Blake said. “They talk about the leverage and stuff like that. They like that I’m competing.”

Blake measures in at 6-foot-4, 285 pounds. During football season his weight was up to 305. He said he never has wrestled at any level until this year. Wrestling coach Justin Lehr was in need of a heavyweight and convinced Blake to give it a try.

Making weight wasn’t too hard.

“The practices are so hard it makes it a lot easier,” Blake said. “It’s just hard the day of meets. I went on a visit and pretty much ate. It was a little rough.

“Obviously, I knew what I was getting myself into.”

Central finished the football season 2-7 overall. Blake thought his season went well, personally, although there still are areas he can improve.

“Being patient and staying with my man,” Blake said. “Not getting lazy in pass protection, and, obviously, finishing blocks more. That’s never perfect.”

He plans to continue working out at Davis Speed Center in Crystal Lake, where he has worked out in the past, after wrestling season.

Blake hopes to make a college decision either next summer or after his senior season.

The McHenry wrestling team beat Cary-Grove, 39-27, in a Fox Valley Conference dual meet Thursday night at McHenry. McHenry’s Tyler Lowery (138 pounds), Spencer Swanson (160) and Jaden Glauser (182) recorded pins.

For Cary-Grove, Colin Suyko (106), Wally Marsh (126) and Dennis Woodring (220) each recorded pins.

Continued from page 2 When Jesse Gutierrez earned a pin in the first round at 220, making it 38-31 and sealing the win, Lehr and the rest of the Tigers’ bench leapt up in celebration. Blake added his firstround pin for good measure.

“I think if you’re around wrestling enough, with close duals it’s one of those things – where I know football coaches are always like, ‘Well, the momentum, the roller coaster of the game, you’ve got to survive the momentum,’ – man, once you get momentum started in a wrestling dual, it’s difficult,” Lehr said. “We had to have somebody finally step up for us and

get a big win.”

Six of Central’s eight wins were pins, and the other two were major decisions.

“I think we were pretty excited because this team was going to be one of the best in the conference that we’re going to face,” Liam O’Donnell said.

“We tried pumping each other up, and in the end, we came out victorious, so it was really good.”

For Jacobs coach Gary Conrad, the way the match played out was frustratingly predictable.

“It’s pretty much what I thought would happen,” Conrad said. “We’re tough in the lower weights and the middle, then we’re really young up top. We lost all our state qualifiers up top, and they’re strong up top, even

with their young guys, they’ve got big guys and we’re small at those weights, so that’s what happens. But we wrestled hard, and we’ve got a long road to go, we’ve got to rebuild again.”

The Golden Eagles won the first four bouts, getting pins from Justin Peters (106), Beau Harrier (120) and Johnny Ridle (126), plus a major decision from Jake Harrier (113).

Central’s Austin Ernd (132) and Lenny Petersen (138) helped slow the tide with pins, and Eduardo Diaz won a major decision at 145 to cut Central’s deficit to 22-16.

Jacobs’ David Dudych won by pin at 152, and Jacob Sabella took a 6-4 decision at 160 to put the hosts up, 3116, before Central swept the final five bouts for the win.

Could Fuller take Cutler’s roster spot?

By PATRICK FINLEY pfinley@suntimes.com How’s this for someone to replace Jay Cutler on the 53-man roster: Kyle Fuller.

“Much like Kyle – different scenario – but he’s moved around well, and we’ll have some decisions to make about who will be active for the game,” Fox said. “In Kyle’s case, it’s a little bit different because we have to make the decision on the roster first.”

Slot opportunity: Receiver Eddie Royal missed practice for the second straight day because of a toe injury, opening up the possibility rookie Daniel Braverman, who was promoted from the practice squad Tuesday, could play the slot Sunday.

He’s learning the details of a difficult position, offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains said.

“The nuances of coverages, you have to understand that, because you’re defined as a slot player on pro-

duction,” he said. “That’s it. You can be big, you can be small, you can be quick, you can be slow.

“But you’ve got to be able to move the chains, and you’ve got to be able to convert third downs and do those things and score in the red area. You have to understand coverages and leverages to be able to do that stuff.”

This and that: Outside linebacker Leonard Floyd remained in concussion protocol. Fox said the medical staff has asked the coaches not to comment on Floyd’s status, other than to give the medical update.

He was carried off the field against the Giants on a board, and has been in protocol since. ... Safety Adrian Amos (foot) returned to practice after sitting out Wednesday, but was limited. Guard Josh Sitton (ankle) was limited, too, while defensive end Mitch Unrein (back) and cornerback Tracy Porter (knee) were full participants.

Jay Cutler’s season is over, as the Bears quarterback will undergo surgery Saturday to repair his labrum.

Coach John Fox made the announcement Thursday and said Cutler and the team exhausted every option involving rehab to avoid surgery.

“He’s tough. Like I said, he waited the two weeks, a lot of rehab,” Fox said. “They’re in there all hours of the morning and afternoon and evening. There were some different treatments that I’m not going to get into all the exacts. But, typically, things you try to do to avoid surgery, and they didn’t take for him like they were expecting. And we’re at the surgical mode at this point.”

Cutler suffered the injury in the Bears’ Week 11 loss to the Giants. He did start and finish that game.

This season, Cutler started five games, missing time earlier in the year with a thumb injury. He had four touchdown passes and five interceptions and a passer rating of 78.1.

“I know he’s extremely competitive,” Fox said. “I think he’s been very tough-minded when he’s had to deal with things, even in

our tenure here, different surgeries, the hamstring, the thumb and now the shoulder. I think he’s handled that as well as most guys I’ve ever been associated with.”

Cutler’s future with the organization is uncertain. He is under contract through 2020, but has no more guaranteed money in the six-year deal former general manager Phil Emery signed him to after the 2013 season. Cutler would make $15 million with the Bears and $16 million against the cap.

There would only be $2 million of dead cap if the team released Cutler, according to Spotrac.

“Like everything else we do, basically we won’t until that time,” Fox said about any future decision. “I think right now we have five games left and all our focus for myself, the coaching staff and the players is on San Fran. You know, offseason is the offseason. We’re not there yet.”

Cutler is the 16th Bears player to go on injured reserve, joining offensive tackle Kyle Long, tight end Zach Miller, inside linebacker Danny Trevathan, receiver Kevin White and outside linebacker Lamarr Houston, among others.

Matt Barkley will continue as the starter for the Bears, with David Fales as his backup.

SPORTS BRIEFS Indiana coach Kevin Wilson abruptly resigns after 6 seasons

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – When Indiana athletic director Fred Glass woke up Thursday morning, he knew the Hoosiers’ football program would be turned upside-down.

By nightfall, Glass had collected Kevin Wilson’s resignation, Tom Allen’s agreement to succeed Wilson and was trying to swat away questions about whether the abrupt coaching change was related to pushing players to return from injuries too quickly.

It was one of the strangest days at one of the strangest moments in program history.

Less than a week after becoming bowl-eligible for the second straight season, Wilson was out of a job because of what Glass described as “philosophical differences.”

“I thought the core of what we talked about boiled down to leadership and how you are a leader,” Glass said. “I think Kevin and I have some honest disagreements about how you go about that. I’m not saying I’m right and he’s wrong. I think we concluded, maturely and appropriately, it’s time to go our separate ways.”

NATIONAL CONFERENCE

Jefferson Parish Sheriff Newell Normand said the incident involving McKnight happened about 2:43 p.m. Thursday in Terrytown, a suburb of New Orleans.

The 28-year-old running back was standing outside his car when he was shot by Ronald Gasser, 54, Normand said during a news conference at the scene of the shooting.

“The only thing we know right now, everything else is conjecture, is that Mr. Gasser did in fact shoot Mr. McKnight,” Normand said.

McKnight is the second former NFL player this year to die in the New Orleans area as a result of a possible road-rage incident. Former New Orleans Saints player Will Smith was killed in April in a shooting that was sparked over a traffic altercation.

McKnight played three seasons for the New York Jets and one with the Kansas City Chiefs.

BLACKHAWKS 4, DEVILS 3 (OT)

By MARK POTASH mpotash@suntimes.com

Blackhawks forward Marian Hossa celebrates his game-winning goal in overtime against the Devils as Duncan Keith (left) skates in Thursday night at the United Center. The Hawks won 4-3. build some momentum late in the period, and it paid off with a three-goal second period that gave them a 3-2 lead.

Kruger tied it with a wrist shot from the right circle.

Brent Seabrook’s stretch pass and a deft touch pass from Dennis Rasmussen in the neu-

tral zone set it up.

The Devils regained the lead with Artem Anisimov in the penalty box for hooking. Hjalmarsson’s backhand clearing attempt was tipped by Kyle Palmieri to Zajac in the slot, and Zajac, who would add a third goal in the third period,

The last victory was a credit to Crawford’s excellence as much as the Hawks’ resilience.

Coach Joel Quenneville tried to put the Hawks’ Toewsless performances in the best possible light.

“I think we’ve been responsible,” Quenneville said. “Going back to the San Jose game (a 2-1 loss when Toews suffered the injury), I thought we played well. Defensively, we were good against L.A. We played a reasonable game for the most part (against the Panthers).

Crow was excellent, as well.”

But Quenneville acknowledged the Hawks have to make the most of their opportunities with Toews out. Scoring chances have been hard to come by in general this season. It’s even more difficult without their best centerman.

“We have to play a stingy game,” Quenneville said. “We want to make sure there’s production when it’s there. We’ve generated some chances. We still think there’s enough offense to go around without Toews or his line generating stuff.”

BLACKHAWKS NOTES

Hawks hope to get Toews back on ice soon

By MARK POTASH mpotash@suntimes.com Center Jonathan Toews missed his fourth consecutive game with an upper-body injury Thursday night and already is listed as doubtful for the Blackhawks’ game against the Flyers on Saturday in Philadelphia.

Coach Joel Quenneville said he won’t know how close Toews is until Toews returns to the ice – perhaps Friday or Saturday.

“Certainly you miss him in a lot of ways,” Quenneville said. “[We’re] looking for progression there, and it’s status quo. He’s starting to feel better, and we’ll get a better idea when he gets on the ice.”

Quenneville said defenseman Trevor van Riemsdyk, out since Oct. 21 with an upper-body injury, could play Saturday against the Flyers.

Anisimov returns: The Hawks caught a break when center Artem Anisimov returned to the ice Thursday against the New Jersey Devils after leaving in

CHICAGO – The Blackhawks have been finding a way to win for most of the season. Doing it without Jonathan Toews just increases the degree of difficulty.

It’s well within their range – they went 2-0-1 in their first three games without Toews – and they were at it again Thursday against the Devils.

After falling behind in the first 3:13, the Hawks turned to a pair of unlikely goal-scorers – Marcus Kruger and Niklas Hjalmarsson – to give them a second-period lead before eventually prevailing 4-3 in overtime on a goal by Marian Hossa before 21,351 at the United Center.

In their second home game after the seven-game circus trip, the Hawks were sluggish early as the Devils dominated play. It paid off for New Jersey when Travis Zajac punched the puck past Corey Crawford in a scrum in front of the Hawks’ net for a 1-0 lead.

The Hawks used a pair of unsuccessful power plays to

buried the shot to give the Devils a 2-1 lead at 10:43.

The Hawks responded 102 seconds later. Duncan Keith’s slap shot was stopped by Cory Schneider, but the rebound came to Anisimov in front, and he went forehand-to-backhand to beat Schneider for a 2-all tie at 12:25.

Hjalmarsson atoned for his misplay on the Zajac goal with an unassisted goal off a wrist shot to give the Hawks a 3-2 lead at 18:25.

The Hawks appeared to make it 4-2 early in the third period, when Brian Campbell scored on a rebound after Richard Panik rushed the net. But Panik, despite trying to hold up, became entangled with Schneider as Campbell scored and was called for goaltender interference.

The Hawks have had to work for almost every bit of offense they’ve gotten, and Toews’ absence has made that even more difficult. After beating the Ducks, 3-2, they scored one goal in their next two games – losing to the Kings, 2-1, in overtime, and beating the Panthers, 2-1, in a shootout.

8 BULLS

Wade-James bromance will be in full bloom

By JOE COWLEY jcowley@suntimes.com

CHICAGO – Dwyane Wade chose his words carefully.

The 34-year-old is as wellversed in the media game as any player in the Association, having a full understanding of social media, comments taken out of context and what drives “article hits,” as he calls them.

So when discussing on Thursday the four years he played with the best current player living on the planet in LeBron James, his praise of that time was heartfelt.

The bromance was real.

When asked if he ever could foresee a reunion where the two would team up once again, that’s where 14 years of experience kicked in, as Wade wasn’t about to start throwing chum in those waters.

“You know what, that’s the one thing I learned in this league, first of all, is I never thought I would play with LeBron,” Wade said. “I mean, I enjoyed the All-Star Games, I

That’s why I look at it now, at young guys and what they say, because you never know what the future is going to hold for you. So keep your comments to yourself on the future.

“So I will keep my comments on myself for whatever.

For me, I’m here and I’m hap-

py to be here, but I was happy in Miami, as well. It just happened. You never know what’s going to happen in this game, so people should never say never or anything.

“That’s not saying that I want to play with LeBron. Let me clearly say that. I’m not saying that I want to be somewhere that I’m not. That’s not saying

it at all, but also I understand how this league works, how this thing goes, and people need to know just don’t say nothing.”

It was one of the few topics concerning James that Wade was guarded on.

Friday can’t be understated in Wade’s world.

His good friend, and former teammate, is coming to town, and, oh, by the way, bringing a world championship squad with him, as well as paying on a World Series bet in which James will be wearing a full Cubs uniform.

Wade wouldn’t divulge the details of that uniform, only insisting that James was a “stand-up guy, so he’s going to let you guys get your moment, everyone is going to get their moment. I’m going to have my camera crew out there, too.”

Bigger than that, though, Wade admittedly is using the Friday game as a measuring stick to see where his new Bulls teammates are, especially after Wednesday’s disap-

pointing loss to the Lakers.

“I won’t be one of those cliché athletes to say it’s just another game,” Wade said. “I just enjoy it more. Simple as that. I enjoy playing against LeBron more than anybody else just because of the things I know he’s going to bring to the game. Great people bring greatness out of you. He’s always done that for me, and vice versa. I think I’ve done it for him. So I’ve always enjoyed it.

“You can say what you want about anybody else around the league, but they are the measuring stick. And any team that LeBron has played on the last thousand years has been a measuring stick for the most part in the Eastern Conference, so for us coming off a bad loss, for us, I want to see how we respond as a team.”

Because more than anyone else, Wade knows how James will respond.

“He’s arguably one of the top three to five players to ever play the game,” Wade said. “And he’s not done playing yet.”

Veteran’s deal completed on same day wife gives birth to twins

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

Jay said he remembers ninetime All-Star Carlos Beltran joining the Cardinals in 2012 and mentoring him as a young outfielder.

“I’m looking forward to doing that with Albert and helping him be the best player he can be,” Jay said. “And just helping Chicago get back into the postseason in October.”

Jay, a lifetime .287 hitter (.355 on-base percentage), is expected to share time in center with Almora and also get playing time in the corner spots.

His deal was completed Tuesday as his wife went into labor, and their twins were born Wednesday morning.

“Crazy day to say the least,” he said. “A day I’ll never forget.”

The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK – The league that wins baseball’s AllStar Game no longer will get home-field advantage in the World Series, which instead will go to the pennant winner with the better regular-season record.

The change was included in Major League Baseball’s tentative new collective bargaining agreement and disclosed early Thursday to The Associated Press by a person familiar with the agreement. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because details of the deal, reached Wednesday evening in Irving, Texas, had not been announced.

In addition, players and management agreed the minimum stay on the disabled list will be reduced from 15 days to 10.

Home-field advantage in the World Series generally rotated between the leagues through 2002. Baseball, led by then-Commissioner Bud Selig, and Fox TV promoted the “This Time It Counts” innovation after the 2002 All-Star Game in Milwaukee ended in a 7-7, 11-inning tie when both teams ran out of pitchers. Selig was booed in his own Milwaukee backyard.

“This energizes it. This gives them something to really play for,” Selig said after owners approved the change by a 30-0 vote in January 2003.”

The same day Jon Jay became the father of twin girls this week, he also became “Grandpa Jon” to some young Cubs.

At least that was the plan as the Cubs signed the veteran outfielder to a one-year deal this week, with general manager Jed Hoyer suggesting Jay’s “off-the-charts reputation” as a clubhouse influence will help fill the leadership void left by retiring catcher David “Grandpa Rossy” Ross.

“It’s an honor just to be mentioned in that way,” said Jay, 31, a veteran of four National League Championship Series – and two World Series – with the Cardinals. “I hope I can bring

some leadership to this team and just be part of a group of guys that accomplished something special [this] year.”

In particular, the left-handed hitting Jay figures to be an important part of the development next season of budding center fielder Albert Almora Jr., a potential Gold Glove impact outfieldJon Jay er.

“That was a big thing that was appealing to me,” said Jay, a Miami-area workout partner and friend of the Cubs’ 2012 first-round pick. “He’s a young stud, a great center fielder, and [the goal is] just being able to help him anyway I can.”

Woods returns with mixed bag and a 73 The Associated Press

NASSAU, Bahamas – Not only did Tiger Woods return to golf Thursday, he returned to being Tiger.

Just not for long.

Hardly looking like a player who had not competed in 466 days, Woods ran off three straight birdies with a variety of shots and was tied for the Tiger Woods lead in the Hero World Challenge as he approached the turn.

Three shots in the bushes, one shot in the water and a few fits of anger sent him toward the bottom of the pack. A pair of double bogeys over the final three holes ruined an otherwise impressive return, and Woods shot 40 on the back nine at Albany Golf Club and had to settle for a 1-over-par 73.

He was in 17th place in the 18-man field. Only Justin Rose had a higher score.

Even so, Woods has reason to be en-

couraged. After taking off 15 months to recover from two back surgeries, he felt no pain or limitations. His misses were not big, just costly. And he was playing again.

“It could have been something really good,” Woods said. “I got off to a nice, solid start and made a few mistakes there. I didn’t play the par 5s very well in the middle part of the round and consequently, got it going the wrong way. ...

But all in all, I feel pretty good. I’m looking forward to another three more days.”

He was nine shots behind J.B. Holmes, who opened with an 8-under 64 and had a one-shot lead over Hideki Matsuyama, with U.S. Open champion Dustin Johnson at 66.

Curiosity was greater than expectations for Woods, who was coming off the longest hiatus of his golfing life. Plagued by back problems since 2013 when he was No. 1 in the world, he finally shut it down after tying for 10th in the Wyndham Championship on Aug. 23, 2015, and then going through two back surgeries.

Sure-fire ways to decide to repair or replace furnace SPONSORED BY

By Gina Kraman Age, cost of the repair, and savings from a new energy efficient model are the main considerations when deciding whether to repair or replace your furnace. Just like deciding if paying for one more car repair is better than buying a new model, replacing a furnace is an expensive decision, too.

Dowe & Wagner, a heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning company serving residential and commercial customers in Illinois and Wisconsin, advises customers to get an estimate for repairs, and compare it to the cost of a new system. If the repairs will cost more than one-third of a new unit, buying a new energy efficient system makes sense. Factoring in age is important, as the average forced-air furnace lasts between 15-20 years.

Experts agree that the top consideration is safety. If the heat exchanger (the metal wall separating burning fuel from the heated air) is cracked and may leak toxic carbon monoxide gas, replacement is highly recommended.

Other repairs may safely fix up an older system, which can provide a few more years of service.

Computing the potential savings from an energy efficient unit can help determine next steps. According to Tom Eppers, co-owner, Dowe & Wagner, “Heating and air-conditioning systems are the biggest users of energy in the home – up to 75 percent of the utility bill. A new high efficiency furnace can save up to 50 percent in operating costs over a 10-yearold furnace. Many 1990 and earlier model furnaces have efficiencies of 65 percent or less. The minimum efficiency furnace that can be sold in the U.S. today is 78 percent.

Furnaces are available that are up to 94 percent efficient.”
