Good morning, McHenry County ...

The daily

Franks takes collaborative approach in role as County Board chairman Jack Franks appears to be taking the responsible approach as he is set to be sworn in Monday as the McHenry County Board’s first popularly elected chairman.

A Democrat and longtime state representative, Franks has knocked heads numerous times in the past with the Republican-dominated County Board.

But rather than taking an adversarial approach as he prepares to take office, Franks is taking a collaborative one. He reached out to all 24 County Board members, 23 of them Republicans, sharing his ideas and asking for theirs.

“I’ve had the pleasure of reaching out to every member of the County Board and speaking to almost everyone regarding our shared goals of good government, efficiency, transparency, accountability and lowering our property tax burden,” he wrote in a letter to County Board members. “Your guidance, input and suggestions have been invaluable. The consensus is that the board will function more efficiently and the members will be more informed and empowered with some structural changes. I took your advice and came up with the following improvements.”

Among the changes Franks wants are to make county government more transparent by holding all meetings, including committee meetings, in the County Board Chamber, where they can be audiotaped and streamed live online; reducing the number of committees from 11 to seven to create efficiencies; and holding

Committee of the Whole meetings a couple of days before board meetings so all board members will be informed about committee issues and votes before the full board votes.

“We are fortunate to have dedicated and hardworking people at all levels of our county government,” Franks wrote. “We will continue to seek ways to improve and to be responsive to our constituents. We will continue to earn the people’s trust each and every day.”

Given the history between Franks and the County Board, with disputes over board pensions, transparency, state lobbyists and other matters, not to mention the contentious race for chairman with County Board member Michael Walkup, Franks could have taken a different approach.

It’s in all McHenry County taxpayers’ best interests that Democrat Franks and the almost-entirely Republican County Board work together.

It’s refreshing to see they’re off to a good start.

Hundreds don red for charity run in Crystal Lake

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas – especially Sunday in downtown Crystal Lake.

About 900 runners dressed as Santa lined Williams Street as the first snow of the season fell Sunday morning. It was the fifth annual Kiwanis Santa Run, sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Crystal Lake to benefit local nonprofits such as Turning Point of McHenry

County, CASA of McHenry County, Girls on the Run of Northwest Illinois, Big Brothers Big Sisters of McHenry County and Main Stay Therapeutic Farm.

The 5K run/walk has brought in about $137,000 for local charities in the past four years. Sunday’s goal was to hit $35,000, said Mike Splitt, of the Kiwanis Club.

The event is run by volunteers from across the county, Splitt said.

“We’ve got 70 volunteers. This is so beautiful,” he said. “Richmond, Spring Grove, Woodstock.

… A lot of towns are represented here, and it’s a lot of fun.”

The Kiwanis Club provided participants with their Santa gear as part of the registration fee. The club ordered 1,000 of the suits in April in anticipation of the event.

Proceeds will be split between the nonprofits and the Kiwanis Club, Splitt said.

“And we give that money back to charity,” he said. “Not a dime leaves the county.”

A big benefit the event has for the nonprofits is exposure, said Leslie Coen, executive director of Big Brothers Big Sisters of McHenry County.

“Not only do we get a monetary donation from the Kiwanis Club at the end, but we get our name out there,” she said.

“This is a totally different and completely unique event. It gives us the opportunity for community exposure and the opportunity to pair with other nonprofits that are serving our community.”

Some of the organization’s volunteers used the Santa Run as an opportunity to continue to give back. Fran Bednarz of McHenry has been volunteering as a “big” with Big Brothers Big Sisters for two years. Bednarz and her honorary little sister were ready to run Sunday.

“I love kids, and I always try to give back,” Bednarz said. “I have her volunteer with me whenever we can. I have her

try to learn to give back, too.”

Main Stay Therapeutic Farm also was well-represented by Santas on Sunday – and some runners were excited about the weather.

“I like it,” said Danielle McKenna, a Volo resident who teaches at Main Stay.

“You’re in a Santa suit, so you should be running in the snow.”

Main Stay has participated in the run since its inception, she said.

“They do a nice job,” she said. “The location is close, [and] registration and everything runs smoothly.”

Habitat for Humanity seeks McHenry County families in need of new home

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com McHENRY – Kathy Haupt’s favorite part of working for Habitat for Humanity of McHenry County is watching a family receive the keys to their new home.

Haupt, service coordinator for the nonprofit organization, said some families she works with have never owned a home before, never have been able to own a pet and never have been able to keep their children in the same school district for long.

Habitat for Humanity changes that.

“These are families that are doing all the right things, and they just need one hand up,” Haupt said. “It changes their lives and ours.”

Habitat for Humanity of McHenry County is working with Thrivent Financial, a nonprofit financial planning group, to help find deserving fam-

“These are families that are doing all the right things, and they just need one hand up. It changes their lives and ours.”

Kathy Haupt

Habitat for Humanity of McHenry County service coordinator ilies for 2017 home builds and home rehabilitations, Haupt said.

Rehabilitations can include anything from yard cleanup to major electrical repairs, Haupt said. The McHenry County chapter also has been increasing the number of home builds it has done in the past few years.

“Since 2010, they were on about the 19th house, and now we’re on house No. 40 that’s completed, with four

more in process,” Haupt said.

To be eligible for a home, a person must be at least 18 years old, a McHenry County resident for at least one year, a U.S. citizen or legal resident, willing to live anywhere in McHenry County, able to save for a cash down payment of $1,000 and pay back a zero-interest mortgage, not be able to qualify for a conventional mortgage, be steadily employed or have a reliable income and be willing to help build the home.

There also are income requirements depending on family size, which can be found at http://www.habitatmchenry.org/becoming-a-habitat-homeowner/. Interested families can call Habitat for Humanity at 815-759-9002.

To donate, visit Habitat for Humanity of McHenry County’s website or its ReStores at 903 Front St., McHenry, and 2205 S. Eastwood Drive, Woodstock.

Colonial Café to match red kettle donations Dec. 10 SHAW MEDIA In an effort to support The Salvation Army of the Fox Valley area’s red kettle campaign, Colonial Café is offering a match of donations.

The sixth annual Colonial Café Match Day will be Dec. 10. Donations made on that day to all the red kettles in McHenry County and several Kane County communities will be matched up to $30,000, according to a news release.

All contributions will stay local and will support the services and programs of local Salvation Army units. A card for a special treat will be given to donors at the red kettles, courtesy of Colonial Café, the release stated. Colonial Café is a longtime supporter of The Salvation Army.

“Our partnership with Colonial Café started with Joe K. Anderson back in 1951, and it continues today through the next generations who give so generously all year round to The Salvation Army,” Lt. Betsy Clark, corps officer for The Salvation Army Tri-City Corps, said in the release. “We truly appreciate the Anderson family and their generosity.”

The Anderson family owns the Colonial Café restaurants. For information about Colonial Café Match Day, call Clark at 630-377-ARMY (2769).

LOCAL HISTORY Kurt Begalka

ABOVE: Irv’s Tavern is seen in 1942 in Cary. Irv’s Tavern was known for serving rye cold in the 1940s and later became the River Bend restaurant.

LEFT: River Bend’s first owners, Erwin and Babe Moews, stand outside the restaurant in May 1942. The eatery eventually became the first restaurant in McHenry County to serve pizza, former owner Alberta England said.

Photos provided by Bill Bissen and Alberta England

“Everything was left exactly as it was that very night, with all the food on the tables and in the coolers,” England said. That is exactly how Tom Decker and his son, Dan, found it when they bought River Bend seven years later.

“It was quite the cleanup,” said local restaurateur Brett Colemen, who managed the River Bend at the time.

“There was meat in the coolers and freezers, and – of course – the power had been turned off.”

Dan Decker is credited with bringing a soup and salad bar concept to the restaurant.

The Englands bought the business from Charles and Merilee Ray in 1994.

They ran River Bend for 13 years and continued to build a loyal following. Alberta and George England had booked their wedding rehearsal dinner there, and they were frequent customers at what former waitress and bartender Peggy Galie called a “destination” and a “rendezvous point.”

“It was a small community where everybody knew everyone and where this was the place to go,” Alberta England said. “They were known for their Brandy Alexanders, and they

would make them by the bucketful.”

Alberta earned a bachelor’s degree in food science with a business concentration at the University of Illinois in Champaign. But her passion for food and cooking began years earlier in 4-H. “Food is a vital part of one’s life,” she said. “I’m a foodie at heart.”

Alberta had grown up nearby, on a farm off Three Oaks Road. After graduating from Cary-Grove High School in 1962 and then college, Alberta went on to do food-related demonstrations

See LOCAL HISTORY, page A9

• Monday, December 5, 2016

The Cary Fire Protection District, at long last, disposed of what remained of the River Bend restaurant – an abandoned, critter-infested shell – during a fire training exercise on Oct. 23.

Still, Capt. Dennis Krenz had one more surprise for former owners Alberta and George England, who had come to say goodbye: A couple plates and some stemware for old-time’s sake.

“The bar was still here, and wine glasses were still hanging,” Krenz said.

As a kid, my family had many meals at the River Bend – a throwback supper club at 6614 Rawson Bridge Road in Cary. Back in the ’60s, it quite literally was out in the sticks – next door to the Northwood Fur Farm in a region dominated by farms rather than fairways.

Sometime between 1935 and 1938, Chicagoans Erwin and Sue “Babe” Moews built a summer cottage on Tuxedo Lane. The restaurant building itself likely was there in some fashion – a refuge for thirsty patrons from the rigors of Prohibition. Irv’s Tavern was known for serving rye cold in the 1940s, but the establishment had a far more complicated reputation before that. Stories passed down through the decades tell of slot machines in the dining room and even the restrooms, Alberta England said. Gangsters also are said to have frequented the joint.

But clearly local celebrities such as John Hertz; John Sexton, founder of Sexton Foods; and John Plain, of John Plain & Co. catalog renown, visited the restaurant on weekends.

The Moews began adding food in the ’40s, but the menu did not really blossom until the next-door neighbors, Art and Lena Giovanoni, bought the place in 1948. England said the River Bend was the first restaurant in McHenry County to serve pizza.

Dorothy and Marvin Krump bought the restaurant in 1955 and began expanding the bar and the menu.

The River Bend became known for its steaks and fancy drinks. They had fashion shows featuring mink coats from the nearby fur farm. The Krumps owned and operated the River Bend until 1973, at which time high roller and golf course owner Herman Schwinge purportedly bought the place for his Las Vegas showgirl “girlfriend.” Legend has it that after three years, a quarrel ended their involvement.

for People’s Gas, Light & Coke Co. in Chicago. She also worked as a food section editor for the Chicago Today newspaper and became banquet manager at the former Hob Nob restaurant in Crystal Lake.

One could argue that buying the River Bend was part of a natural progression. She and her husband, a salesman who worked evenings and weekends at the restaurant, sold the restaurant in March 2005 to Bob Gwinn of the Cary Public House. But before that, they set about putting their own unique stamp on the place.

Menu favorites included a seafood buffet, potato pancakes, huge relish trays and specialty drinks and dishes – typically linked to a particular holiday such as St. Patrick’s Day or Easter.

Alberta said it was not unusual to have 400 customers for a Sunday brunch. Saturdays were devoted to prime rib, and the weekly fish fry was a family staple.

“On Friday nights, you couldn’t get in the place,” she said.

The River Bend could seat 144 at one time.

Unlike many restaurants, January through March was their busiest time. Many clubs would meet there, including the “The Shoresmen” (from Lake Barrington Shores) and snowmobilers. People came for music – which included a polka group Tuesday nights, accordion players Wednesdays, a variety of bands Friday and Saturday nights, and Dixieland jazz on Sundays. Visitors stayed for the food, the atmosphere and the circuses.

“The things that happened at that restaurant, you couldn’t make these things up,” Galie said with a laugh.

They ranged from older couples swapping spit to one group of “swingers” swapping partners.

“We had nicknames for every-

body,” Galie joked. “Sometimes it became like a sporting event.”

Even though the River Bend is gone, the stories remain – from the touching to the hilarious. Customers were keen to share the restaurant they frequented as kids with their own children. And the laughter? It seems to still echo from the dance floor to the kitchen’s back door.

Many of the late-night antics, including a brief appearance by a horse at the bar and lingerie-adorned moose head above the fireplace to tease the conservative bar manager, were instigated by one or more of the restaurant’s 20 employees.

“It was a lot of hard work, but I don’t think I’ve laughed as hard my whole life,” Galie said.

Years later, they still consider the people they worked with family, said Galie, of McHenry. She and the Englands go on trips. Old employees share holiday meals. And they swap stories about a special place at a special time in the county’s history.

“People still come up to me and say, ‘Don’t I know you?’ ” Galie said.

“I say: ‘I used to work at the River Bend.’ “ ‘Oh yes, that’s it.’ ” ••• The McHenry County Historical Society is hosting a monthlong quilt contest and show Tuesday through Friday at the county historical museum, 6422 Main St. in Union.

The stage and exhibit halls are decked out with rare Christmas memorabilia – including a variety of sleds, santas, bells, holiday china and, of course, an unusual display of holiday-themed quilts. Play some vintage holiday songs on a jukebox or just soak in the ambiance. Regular museum admission applies to non-Society members. For details, visit www. gothistory.org.

conditions on untreated surfaces across the county Sunday, and at-times heavy snow caused problems with visibility.

Snowfall is not likely to continue with Monday’s high reaching the midto upper 30s.

“So because it may get to the mid30s, there may be a little bit of melting going on Monday,” Deubelbeiss said.

The National Weather Service issued a hazardous weather outlook Sunday evening that warns of an elevated risk of dense, freezing fog before noon Monday.

As for this week’s future forecast, Deubelbeiss said the National Weather Service is anticipating another snow system to come Tuesday, but it may miss McHenry County.

“Right now, looking at it, it looks like there’s a better chance that it will stay south of the area,” Deubelbeiss said. “But there is a slight chance of snow that day still, and the rest of the week doesn’t really look like there’s going to be any snow really.”

Although it’s too early to accurately predict what the upcoming winter will look like, Deubelbeiss said he does have some early thoughts.

“The three-month outlook is calling for equal chances on temperatures,” Deubelbeiss said, “meaning there’s not

However, the National Weather Service does predict there’s a 40 percent probability that precipitation will be

above normal this year.

“Several more snowfalls like this could happen this year as a result,” Deubelbeiss said.

According to the National Weather Service, the earliest first measurable

snowfall of the season to take place in Chicago was Oct. 12, 2006, and the latest to take place was Dec. 20, 2012.

“Nov. 20 was our first measured snow last year, so a little behind this year,” Deubelbeiss said.

SHINGLES IN THE EYE Once a person has had chickenpox, which is caused by the varicellazoster virus, it can remain dormant in the body for years and even decades.

Then, years later, it may reactivate in nerve cells to cause “shingles”(formally known as herpes zoster), which can be triggered by stress, medications, illness, or aging. Symptoms of eye shingles include a blistering rash, painful inflammation, fever, and fatigue. In about 10% to 20% of people with shingles, the rash appears in and around the eye. This type of shingles is called ‘’ophthalmic herpes zoster” and can cause scarring, vision loss, and other long-term problems. Ifnot treated quickly with anti-viral drugs, eye shingles canlead to serious eye damage and even vision loss.

You can prevent shingles of the eye and its complications by getting

Charles “Chuck” Dennis Sandford, 70, of Marengo, IL, died Friday, Dec. 2, 2016.

Chuck was born Aug. 30, 1946, in Joplin, MO, as the first child to Charles William and Mary Louise (Williams) Sandford. Chuck graduated from Washington High School in Cedar Rapids, IA, in 1964.

Chuck attended Northeast Missouri State Teachers College (now Truman State) for two years before entering the U.S. Army. He served for two years, including one year in Vietnam, as a Specialist 5.

STATE

Another year of financial uncertainty looms

By IVAN MORENO

The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – Homeless shelters in Illinois and low-income college students who rely on state funds are facing another year of financial uncertainty as Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and majority Democratic lawmakers remain unable to make progress on resolving a budget war.

Several meetings during the past month have only served to prove how far apart the two sides are: Rauner, a former venture capitalist who took office two years vowing to overhaul how the state is managed, continues to insist Democrats pass part of his pro-business agenda, while they say he should focus on a budget deal without pre-conditions.

The money lawmakers approved as part of a six-month spending plan in June is about to run out, but they adjourned for the year Thursday without agreeing with the governor on a plan going forward. That means social service providers, like programs that deliver meals for homebound seniors and homeless shelters, will start the new year without state support. Some have already exhausted their budget reserves.

U of Illinois chancellor reviews emergency plans

URBANA – University of Illinois Chancellor Robert Jones said he’s confident the university has effective plans to deal with an emergency like this week’s carand-knife attack at Ohio State University that left 11 people injured and the attacker dead.

Jones offered public condolences to Ohio State University on Monday and said he planned to reach out to Ohio State’s president, Michael Drake, to offer support, The News-Gazette reported.

Jones said he met with University of Illinois Police Chief Jeff Christensen and other top administrators a couple of weeks ago to review campus emergency plans and was pleased with the procedures in place, particularly that it’s clear who would be in

Purple Christmas lights honor ‘Purple Rain’ singer

PARK RIDGE – An acclaimed home Christmas-light show in Park Ridge features purple lights this year in a tribute to the rock star who sang “Purple Rain.”

The Chicago Tribune reported that the Grant-Grusecki home decided to add the Prince tribute shortly after the Minnesota-based artist died of an opioids overdose in April. Among Prince’s many hits was the song “Purple Rain.”

Tina Grusecki said the family spends much of the year designing the elaborate show. It includes flashing lights synchronized to music that passing cars can hear on a radio channel. The show includes standards, such as “Holly Jolly Christmas” and “All Alone on Christmas.”

The Prince tribute has a medley of his songs, an illuminated drum kit – and

state workers. Every day that passes Illinois is going into debt – about $500 million a month, according to the state comptroller – because the court orders are forcing the state to spend more money than it’s collecting in taxes.

However, those court orders don’t cover higher education institutions and some social service programs. That has prompted some providers to close their doors and layoffs in higher education.

“They’re all going to be in the same pickle they were in last year,” said Rep. Elaine Nekritz, a Democrat from Buffalo Grove.

The six-month budget provided some relief, but some of that money went to cover debts that social service providers had incurred during the past 18 months. Colleges have received about two-thirds of the funding they typically get from the state and have no money for tuition grants for low-income students this semester or the next.

The Peoples Church of Chicago runs a shelter for the homeless that is scheduled to close by the end of December because it hasn’t received state support for over a year, said Dick Simpson, a member of the board that oversees the shelter. Nearly 80 people rely on the shelter on a daily basis and they’ll have to find help elsewhere.

Ukulele is a popular music-class addition

SPRINGFIELD – Dave Kinzer’s music class is jamming to the Beatles, Creedence Clearwater Revival and Matishyahu – on ukulele.

The 15-year veteran teacher told the (Springfield) State Journal-Register that his students at Springfield’s Ball Charter School stay focused on lessons because they are busy with the instruments in their hands.

Kinzer was awarded a $2,200 grant to buy 27 of the four-string instruments.

The teacher focuses on an instrument each year. He said he might ditch the recorder, xylophone or piano in the future because of the kids’ strumming success.

Students were hesitant at first but soon joined in when they realized they could change chords and strum.

Sixth-grader Mario Garcia-Perez said his favorite song is the Beatles’ “Paperback Writer.” He said the ukulele is easier and more fun than he imagined.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Warehouse fire death toll it. Stein’s lawyers argued that reaches 33, includes teens waiting until Wednesday to start

OAKLAND, Calif. – The death toll from a fire that tore through a warehouse hosting a late-night dance party climbed to 33 on Sunday as firefighters painstakingly combed through rubble for others believed to still be missing.

Less than half of the charred remains of the partly collapsed structure had been searched, and crews clearing debris were expected to find more bodies as they advanced, Alameda County Sheriff’s Sgt. Ray Kelly said.

Officials said they have identified seven people who were killed.

Among them is Donna Kellogg, said her father, Keith Slocum. He declined additional comment.

Judge orders Michigan recount to begin Monday

A federal judge in Detroit has ruled that the recount of Michigan’s presidential results can begin at noon on Monday, a decision that gives the state more time to complete the count ahead of the Dec. 13 deadline.

Judge Mark Goldsmith issued his ruling Sunday night that rejected an effort by state officials to wait two business days to get started hand-counting about 4.8 million ballots.

Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein requested a recount, but Republican President-elect Donald Trump sued elections officials to stop

a recount would cut too close to the Dec. 13 deadline to have it finished.

The Green Party also wants recounts in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Trump defeated Democrat Hillary Clinton by 10,704 votes in Michigan. Stein received about 1 percent of the vote.

Chaos erupts as Iraq delivers aid to Mosul

MOSUL, Iraq – Chaos erupted in eastern Mosul on Sunday when hundreds of civilians overwhelmed aid trucks distributing food and water.

The Iraqi government has called on Mosul’s residents to stay in their homes during the operation to retake the city from the Islamic State group, hoping to avoid large-scale displacement, but as progress on the ground slows, hundreds of thousands are now stuck with dwindling food and water supplies.

The Iraqi government sent truckloads of food, heating oil and drinking water to residents in areas retaken from the IS on Sunday, but few of the trucks could make it to civilians trapped near front-line fighting.

While the trucks bore banners identifying them as distributing aid on behalf of the local government, there were no government or security officials present in Samah during the melee that ensued.

U.S. gov’t blocks Dakota Access oil pipeline route

By JAMES MacPHERSON The Associated Press

CANNON BALL, N.D. – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said Sunday that it won’t grant an easement for the Dakota Access oil pipeline in southern North Dakota, handing a victory to the Standing Rock Sioux tribe and its supporters, who argued the project would threaten the tribe’s water source and cultural sites.

North Dakota’s leaders criticized the decision, with Gov. Jack Dalrymple calling it a “serious mistake” that “prolongs the dangerous situation” of having several hundred protesters who are camped out on federal land during cold, wintry weather. U.S. Rep. Kevin Cramer said it’s a “very chilling signal” for the future of infrastructure in the U.S. The four-state, $3.8 billion project is largely complete except for the now-blocked segment underneath Lake Oahe, a Missouri River reservoir. Assistant Secretary for Civil Works Jo-Ellen Darcy said in a news release that her decision was based on the need to “explore alternate routes” for the pipeline’s crossing. Her full decision doesn’t rule out that it could cross under the reservoir or north of Bismarck.

“Although we have had continuing discussion and exchanges of new information with the Standing Rock Sioux and Dakota Access, it’s clear that there’s more work to do,” Darcy said.

“The best way to complete that work responsibly and expeditiously is to explore alternate routes for the pipeline crossing.”

The company constructing the pipeline, Dal-

las-based Energy Transfer Partners, released a statement Sunday night slamming the decision as politically motivated and alleging that President Barack Obama’s administration was determined to delay the matter until he leaves office.

“The White House’s directive today to the Corps for further delay is just the latest in a series of overt and transparent political actions by an administration which has abandoned the rule of law in favor of currying favor with a narrow and extreme political constituency,” the company said.

President-elect Donald Trump, a pipeline supporter, will take office in January, although it wasn’t immediately clear what steps his administration would be able to take to reverse the Army Corps’ latest decision or how quickly that could happen.

The decision came a day before the government’s deadline for the several hundred people at the Oceti Sakowin, or Seven Council Fires, encampment to leave the federal land. But demonstrators said they’re prepared to stay, and authorities said they won’t forcibly remove them.

As the news spread Sunday, cheers and cheers and chants of “mni wichoni” – “water is life” in Lakota Sioux – broke out among the protesters. Some in the crowd banged drums.

Miles Allard, a member of the Standing Rock Sioux, said he was pleased but remained cautious, saying, “We don’t know what Trump is going to do.”

“The whole world is watching,” Allard added. “I’m telling all our people to stand up and not to leave until this is over.”

Trump expands list of candidates for State Department

By LAURIE KELLMAN The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – President-elect Donald Trump is expanding his pool of candidates for secretary of state, leaving unclear whether former CIA Director David Petraeus’ guilty plea for leaking classified information disqualifies him to serve as the nation’s top diplomat.

“There’s not a finite list of candidates” for secretary of state, Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway told reporters on Sunday. “More than four. Who knows how many finalists there will be?”

The remark comes a week after Trump’s aides confirmed that the president-elect had settled on four finalists for the post. Two people close to the transition told The Associated Press that Trump is moving away from two of the four: former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney, the 2012 Republican presidential nominee.

That would leave Petraeus as a contender, along with Tennessee Republican Sen. Bob Corker, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Both people close to the transition said Trump’s prolonged decision-making process has left the door open to other options. Among other possibilities, one official says is Jon Huntsman, a former Republican Utah governor who also served as the ambassador to China and speaks Mandarin.

The people close to the transition

spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the private process publicly.

There was other evidence that Trump is looking beyond the known four contenders. Vice President-elect Mike Pence on Sunday listed the quartet, but added a fresh reference to former U.N. ambassador “John Bolton or others who may be added to the list” of candidates.

“I think the person who will make the decision about our next secretary of state is the president-elect,” Pence said on ABC. “And he’ll factor the totality of Gen. Petraeus’ career in making that decision.”

Pence also referred to Petraeus as a “hero.” But it seemed unclear Sunday even to Petraeus and Trump’s inner circle whether the retired general’s guilty plea has turned off Trump.

Petraeus, a retired four-star general, pleaded guilty last year to one misdemeanor charge of mishandling classified information relating to documents he had provided to a woman he was having a sexual relationship with. He was spared prison time under a plea agreement with the Justice Department and was given two years’ probation.

FBI Director James Comey has drawn a distinction between Petraeus’ case and that of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton by saying there was no evidence that Clinton or her aides had intended to break the law through careless handling of sensitive information.

WASHINGTON – The longest, loudest standing ovation of the Kennedy Center Honors gala wasn’t reserved for Al Pacino, Mavis Staples or the Eagles. Instead, it went to the man sitting to their left, attending his eighth and most likely his last honors presentation: President Barack Obama.

While politics were absent from the tributes to the performers who were recognized for influencing American culture on Sunday night, the arts community’s affection for Obama – and its nervousness about President-elect Donald Trump – was palpable in the Kennedy Center Opera House.

The president and first lady Michelle Obama were introduced last, after Pacino and his fellow honorees: gospel singer Staples; pianist Martha Argerich; singer-songwriter James Taylor; and Don Henley, Timothy B. Schmidt and Joe Walsh, the surviving members of the Eagles.

After a sustained ovation, host Stephen Colbert greeted the crowd of Washington insiders as “endangered swamp-dwellers,” referencing Trump’s “drain the swamp” campaign pledge. He joked that Obama would need to receive

House has given us a leader who’s passionate, intelligent and dignified,” Colbert said, and the crowd rose for another prolonged ovation, prompting Obama to stand and wave.

“Sir, I don’t even know why you stood up. I was talking about Michelle,” Colbert said.

Earlier, at the White House, Obama welcomed the honorees at a reception and said participating in the gala was “one of the perks of the job.”

“The arts have always been part of life at the White House because the arts are always central to American life,” Obama said. “That’s why, over the past eight years, Michelle and I have invited some of the best writers, musicians, actors and dancers to share their gifts with the American people and to help tell the story of who we are.”

Kennedy Center chairman David Rubenstein also thanked the Obamas, noting that the president isn’t required to attend the honors or host a reception.

He offered them a “golden ticket” good for free admission to any event at the center.

“Parking is extra,” Rubenstein said.

Another standing ovation went to Bill Clinton, who made a surprise appearance on stage to talk about how Taylor’s music resonated with the American public in times that tested the nation’s resolve.

ANOTHER VIEW

Trump’s pick for Pentagon President-elect Donald Trump’s intention to nominate James Mattis as secretary of defense places Congress in a bind. Is it duty-bound to reject an obviously well-qualified person for the job?

Or would confirming Mattis, a retired four-star general, endanger the nation’s founding tradition of civilian control of the military?

The problem is that Mattis retired from the Marines only four years ago, short of the seven-year waiting period mandated by Congress. The law was broken once before, for George Marshall in 1950.

Marshall was a special case: The former highest-ranking U.S. military official in World War II, he had already served as secretary of state, lending his name to the post-war rebuilding project in Western Europe. But when Congress voted to make an exception for Marshall, lawmakers insisted it be a one-time deal, stating that “no additional appointments of military men to that office shall be approved.”

Today’s Congress is not bound by the wishes of its forbears from 65 years ago, of course. But it owes them – as well as the authors of the Constitution, the Federalist Papers and other founding documents – the utmost care in making another exception. While the idea of a military coup in the U.S. may seem absurd today, the Founders were wise to be wary of standing armies and officers corps amassing powers to rival those of the commander in chief. Congress may ultimately decide that Mattis is well worth setting aside the rule. But his confirmation hearings should devote as much attention to his views on military-civilian relations as to what Pentagon reforms he proposes or how he wants to defeat Islamic State.

As President Dwight D. Eisenhower demonstrated – by extricating the U.S. from the Korean War and keeping the Suez Crisis from becoming World War III – military leaders tend to be extremely wary of putting troops’ lives at risk, and that’s a virtue in any defense secretary. Mattis, in particular, is both a legendary fighter and an erudite soldier-scholar nicknamed “the Warrior Monk.” If confirmed, he might also be a calming influence on Mike Flynn, the irascible former general Trump has chosen to be national security adviser – someone Mattis outranked in the military by a star.

Ideally, Congress’s confirmation hearings on Mattis will become a chance to publicly consider what role the military should play in American society during a time of war against terrorism and rising threats from Russia and China. When that’s done, Congress may very well find that James Mattis is as deserving as George Marshall of special – Bloomberg View consideration.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

IT’S YOUR WRITE McHenry Township caucus

To the Editor: The overwhelming majority of the slate of McHenry Township First candidates who desire to be the Republican Party candidates on the ballot for next April’s McHenry Township election are incumbent office holders who are in their positions as incumbents because they were appointed, rather than elected. They understood the system well but overplayed their hand for many years in an ongoing resignation and appointment charade that subverted democracy.

Six of the eight supposedly elected officials on the McHenry Township Board were not elected to their positions. They were appointed. They run the township government as if it was a private club. It’s no more complicated than that.

We need new people. I’m supporting the slate that includes Steve Koerber for highway commissioner and even anti-township activist Bob Anderson as a trustee.

If you are a registered voter in McHenry Township and you didn’t

vote in another party’s primary in the last 12 months, you are eligible to vote in the Republican Party caucus at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 6, at the McHenry VFW. I have known Koerber and Anderson for over 40 years. They are bright and decent men who aspire to be elected to public office to pursue a transparent agenda. They are part of the group of McHenry Township Fresh candidates whom I support.

The incumbents are possibly all decent people. I simply don’t like the way they got there.

All politics are local. You clearly should attend your local party caucus.

Ned Neumann McHenry

Participate in caucus

To the Editor: I’ve tried to pay attention for a while to the functioning of township government in McHenry Township. I probably wouldn’t have feelings about it if some things weren’t pointed out to me some

time ago. The thing that really got my attention was how many people were appointed rather than elected. That shouldn’t have happened to the degree that it has.

I don’t like it.

I know Steve Koerber and he’s asked me to support him in his bid to be a candidate for the position of McHenry Township Highway Commissioner. He suggested that a letter like this might be helpful so I’m sending it but I’m also going to help him by asking others to support him. I know him well. He’s an intelligent and good person who will do well at anything he wants to do. He’s talked about this for a long time now. I hope others might go to the Republican Party Caucus and support him.

The caucus begins at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 6 at the McHenry VFW. Everyone can participate if they will state that they are a registered voter and that they didn’t vote in another political party’s primary election in the last 12 months.

Jeffrey Mayer McHenry

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 Noah Smith call. The Democrats have been the party of the social safety net, and have long wondered why so many working-class Americans don’t seem to appreciate those benefits.

Trump, meanwhile, sailed to victory in the Midwest, in part by railing against globalization. Economists David Autor, David Dorn and Kaveh Majlesi have found that regions that experienced more Chinese import competition were much more likely to vote for Trump. Other studies by Autor and Dorn have found that that same import competition was responsible for throwing lots of Americans out of work and that nothing else replaced those jobs. So it seems that many voters in the Midwest didn’t want checks in the mail -- they wanted work.

And they voted for a candidate who promised them jobs, even if he was very vague on his plans for doing so.

What kind of concrete plans would address Americans’ hunger for jobs? An easy step is to promote demand-based policies that keep employment high, like fiscal stimulus. A more drastic measure would be a federal job guarantee. Although many such jobs would pay low wages and would contain some element of make-work, it’s probably better to have unemployed people doing something marginally useful. A third option is to focus on slashing regulations that make it more costly and difficult to hire employees.

Perhaps the deepest change would be to tweak U.S. corporate culture, restoring the value of long-term employment. Obviously, it’s easy to go too far in this direction – witness Japan – but it could be that U.S. labor arrangements are simply too short-term and insecure to provide the social benefits that workers in Japan, South Korea and much of Europe enjoy.

Tax incentives for long-term labor contracts, or for labor hoarding during recessions, could put the government’s thumb on the scale in favor of employment over pure dollars.

Whatever policies are appropriate, it’s clear that economics pundits and policy wonks need to shift our thinking a bit. We shouldn’t be so quick to assume that every dollar of income is the same to people. We should read more sociology, talk to more workers and pay more attention to things like dignity, respect and a sense of community – intangibles that aren’t sold in any market.

Maybe someday, academic economists could even put these things into their models, too.

In the aftermath of the 2016 presidential election, I’m starting to rethink one of my basic beliefs about the economy. For a long time, I’ve believed that what mattered most for economic well-being was money. Median income, consumption, wages – all the things I cared about most were measured in dollars.

Because of this attitude, I’ve supported lots of policies aimed at boosting the amount of money in the average person’s pocket. I’ve called for Japan to liberalize its markets, and for the U.S. to encourage workers to move to places with better opportunities. And I’ve often assumed that a dollar of government redistribution is just as good as a dollar of wages.

I’m starting to think I was wrong. Maybe not completely wrong, but I did ignore a big, important source of economic well-being: jobs.

In most of economic theory, a job isn’t treated as something inherently valuable – it’s just a conduit through which money flows from employer to employee. But most people probably care not just about the amount of money they get, but how they get it. If they see themselves as having earned their daily bread, they feel better about themselves than if they got a handout. A job also probably has an important symbolic value – it sends a message that society cares about you and has a place for you.

I say “probably” because this just isn’t something economists think about much, so it doesn’t appear in the research literature much. To most people, the idea that jobs give people dignity and a sense of self-worth seems laughably obvious. Sociologists have probably researched this too, which supports my contention that the U.S. needs more input from sociology and less from economics. But among economists, there remains a relentless unwillingness to consider the importance of dignity and social respect.

There are a few exceptions. David Blanchflower and Andrew Oswald have measured the impact of unemployment on happiness, and found that having a job is an important determinant of how satisfied people are, regardless of how much money they have. Meanwhile, some of the little sociology research I do know about shows that job status is important for keeping marriages together.

Meanwhile, out in the real world, Americans are hurting from a lack of jobs. A number of deep dives into the mindset of Donald Trump voters, both before and after the election, have focused on the loss of status and self-respect that less-educated men in decaying industrial regions have suffered as jobs have been lost and replaced by government benefits. One way to see this is in the decline in the percentage of men in the U.S. labor force.

The dramatic Democratic loss in the Midwest in the 2016 election should be a wake-up

Tylenol during pregnancy should be taken with care Dear Doctor: Will taking acetaminophen (Tylenol) during pregnancy increase the chances that the child will have ADHD or autism?

Dear Reader: Such concern is understandable. Parents and parents-to-be have been alarmed over the past few years by two Danish studies that raise the specter of greater ADHD and autism risks among children whose mothers took the overthe-counter pain killer acetaminophen during pregnancy. But let’s look at these studies a little more closely.

The largest of these studies showed that, among children whose mothers ever used acetaminophen during pregnancy, 5.7 percent showed symptoms of hyperactivity by age 7. Among children whose mothers never took acetaminophen, 4.3 percent showed symptoms of hyperactivity. Similar mild differences also were noted for emotional problems and overall conduct.

Here’s the important caveat: The two groups of women were very different.

Participants who used acetaminophen were more likely to be smokers, more likely to be obese (BMI greater than 30) and more likely to have had a fever. Just having a fever during pregnancy has been associated with autism, behavioral abnormalities and problems with attention.

As for the autism study, it linked acetaminophen use during pregnancy to an IQ drop of 2 points in 5-year-olds.

ASK THE DOCTORS Robert Ashley Here, the cause of the acetaminophen use is an especially important factor. In this study, 37 percent of the mothers who used acetaminophen had fever; only 23 percent of those who didn’t use acetaminophen had fever. And again, those who used acetaminophen were more likely to be smokers.

So one has to ask: Why does someone take acetaminophen during pregnancy?

The answer: To reduce a fever. So fever may be the problem, not the acetaminophen. Further, women who smoke and are obese are more likely to be unhealthy during pregnancy, more likely to take acetaminophen for physical problems and more likely to have children who may also be less healthy.

Would I recommend acetaminophen regularly in pregnancy for joint pain and muscle aches? Probably not, although I would take it for a fever and for moderate pain. Otherwise, it’s better to do prenatal yoga, gentle stretching and maintain a good diet.

• Robert Ashley, M.D., is an internist and assistant professor of medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles.

sometimes. That’s why God invented grandparents and baby sitters. However, if you feel your daughter can’t handle the stress, be honest with her and tell her why you have “concerns.”

Dear Abby: My daughter has been friends with twin girls for several years. Their parents are divorced, and we’ve always known money is tight in their family. We invite them over to eat as often as we can, and they know our home is their home and a safe place. The girls are now all applying to colleges, but the twins repeatedly have expressed concern they don’t have enough money to pay the ACT submission fees or the college submission fees. They both are working long hours and trying to save money for college.

We are in a position to help them submit these applications, but don’t know how to approach the topic. We are not close with either of their parents. Most important, we don’t want to risk a parent telling the girls they can’t spend time at our home. How can we help? – Enough To Share Dear Enough To Share: You are generous and compassionate to want to do this. Because the girls spend so much time at your home, it’s likely their parents already know their daughters are friendly with your family. I do not think it would be offensive if you were to call the parents and make the offer. If they are reluctant to accept, you could propose it as a “loan” that can be repaid after the girls graduate.

Dear Abby: My father-in-law died a couple of months ago, and since then my mother-in-law insists one of her kids spend the night with her.

She told them “people” have told her she should not spend a night alone for at least a year. This is causing grief and bitterness because my husband has explained to her when he stayed the first two weeks, he left me at home alone, and it was time she started facing things and move on.

We are afraid if she keeps this up, she’s going to push herself into an early grave or drive her kids away. – Tired Of Sleeping Alone Dear Tired: My deepest sympathy to your mother-in-law for her loss, but it is not the responsibility of an adult child to leave his (or her) spouse to sleep with Mama for a year. A week or two, perhaps – but certainly not a year. His mother should talk to her clergyperson or doctor about joining a grief support group to help her through this difficult time. And if she’s afraid to be alone in the house – and she’s an animal lover – a solution to that could be for her to adopt a dog from an animal rescue organization.

The most prolific bridge-book author is David Bird from England, with well over 100 titles. The monks of St. Titus, led by the egocentric Abbot, are his most famous characters.

In “The Abbot, the Parrot and the Bermuda Bowl” (Master Point Press), the Bozwambi tribe from the Upper Bhumpopo has qualified for the 2015 Bermuda Bowl in India. The players had learned bridge from missionaries sent there by the Abbot many years ago. When the Abbot visits the tribe and learns of their success, he insists on being added to the team. His teammates are Miss Nabooba, Mrs. Okoku, Mbozi and the Witchdoctor; his partner is the Parrot, the tribe’s best player.

The Parrot made this four-spade contract look easy. What did he do after West led the heart queen?

Declarer needed to find trumps splitting 2-1, but he still might have lost one spade and three diamonds if East got on lead and shifted to a high diamond, West having the ace hovering over South’s king.

To maximize his chances, the Parrot won the first trick, ruffed his remaining heart on the board and led a trump. When East played the 10, the Parrot flicked a low spade onto the table. West won with his queen, but had no winning defense. If he had played a club, declarer would have drawn the missing trump and claimed 10 tricks: four spades, one heart, four clubs and the heart ruff. When West, in desperation, shifted to a diamond, hoping South had only queen-third, the contract made with an overtrick.

The deals are instructive and the prose entertaining -- as usual from this author.

NORTHWEST HERALD BOYS GOLFER OF THE YEAR

Setting the standard Remarkable 4 years for Farnam at Prairie Ridge

By ALEX KANTECKI

akantecki@shawmedia.com

P

rairie Ridge’s Ethan Farnam ended his four-year varsity career with his second straight runner-up finish at the Class 3A state tournament at The Den at Fox Creek in Bloomington, firing a 74-73-147 and tying the school records for total score and best finish he set as a junior.

In four years, Farnam advanced to state four times and was 21st, 17th and second (twice).

Farnam, who will continue his academic and athletic career next fall at Northwestern, earned medalist honors at regionals with a 72 and was third at sectionals with a 74. The senior won his first Fox Valley Conference Tournament individual title with a 73, leading his team to its first FVC and regional championships since 2004.

For his accomplishments, Farnam was voted Northwest Herald Boys Golfer of the Year by the sports staff for the second year in a row. Here are sports

writer Alex Kantecki’s questions and Farnam’s answers: Kantecki: What’s your favorite professional sports team?

Farnam: Chicago Bulls.

Kantecki: What’s your favorite sports memory of senior year?

Farnam: Winning regionals this year as a team. That was probably the best.

Kantecki: What other sport(s) would you be good at?

Farnam: Basketball.

Kantecki: Have you ever had a holein-one?

Farnam: Yes, I have had one. I was at the University of Kentucky Golf Course. It was in a tournament to take the lead by one. That was my only holein-one ever.

Kantecki: What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?

Farnam: Don’t care what other people think of you. Just do your own thing.

Kantecki: If you could change one thing about your sport, what would it be?

Farnam: Honestly, I would probably change the “gentleman’s manner.”

Maybe make it a little bit more fun, get a little more trash talk going on the course and have it be accepted a little better.

Kantecki: Do you have any rituals or superstitions before you play?

Farnam: No, not at all actually. Golf is probably the most superstitious sport, but not me.

Kantecki: If you had one last meal to eat, what would be included?

Farnam: All-you-can eat sushi buffet.

Kantecki: What’s a bad food you cannot resist?

Farnam: These deep-fried donuts that have an apple filling. They’re just horrible for you. It’s like eating a stick of butter, but they’re so good. Right when you get them, they’re just so buttery.

Kantecki: Who’s your favorite professional athlete?

Farnam: Russell Westbrook. He just does his thing.

OXON HILL, Md. – Bud Selig oversaw baseball during a time of transformation and turmoil – wild cards and a ballpark boom, the cancellation of a World Series and the Steroids Era. For much of his reign, however, there was one constant: those first-place Atlanta Braves, built by John Schuerholz.

The former commissioner and the longtime general manager met up again Sunday, both elected by an overwhelming margin to the Hall of Fame.

Schuerholz was picked by all 16 voters on a veterans committee at the winter meetings in suburban Washington. Selig was listed 15 times.

It took 12 votes for election, and former player and manager Lou Piniella was third with seven. Harold Baines, Albert Belle, Will Clark, Orel Hershiser, Davey Johnson, Mark McGwire and George Steinbrenner also were on the ballot considered by the Today’s Game Era panel, and none of them got more than five votes.

Selig will be enshrined July 30 in Cooperstown, New York – on his 83rd birthday.

4 JETS 2, BLACKHAWKS 1

Hawks fall; Toews’ return delayed

By BRIAN SANDALOW

JETS 2, BLACKHAWKS 1

For the Sun-Times

CHICAGO – With each passing day, the sense of worry gets stronger about Jonathan Toews.

What originally was supposed to be a day-to-day injury has kept the Blackhawks’ captain out almost two weeks.

He has skated a little bit recently but won’t be on the ice again for the next few days, as his back injury needs more time to heal.

Most concerning, Toews’ injury isn’t improving.

Toews has missed the Hawks’ past six games with a back injury since playing only 9:15 against the San Jose Sharks on Nov. 23. There had been some hope Toews, who has 12 points in 21 games, would come off injured reserve and return Sunday.

Instead, that comeback will have to wait a bit longer. Toews skated early Sunday, but coach Joel Quenneville said the Hawks would keep him off the ice for the next few days before reassessing in the middle of the week. Before the Hawks’ 2-1 loss to the Winnipeg Jets, Quenneville said Toews’ injury isn’t getting better, and it’s not one he’s dealt with before.

“Well, you certainly miss his presence in all aspects of your team game, his leadership as well, as good as anybody that’s played,” Quenneville said.

Winnipeg Jets center Bryan Little (center) scores against Blackhawks goalie Scott Darling during the second period Sunday at the United Center.

“You use all those important minutes.”

Andrew Copp’s goal with 4:45 remaining in the game gave the Jets the lead for good and handed the Hawks a loss in their sixth game without Toews.

The Hawks are 3-2-1 with Toews out, losing the past two, and have scored only 12 goals.

Clearly, the longer Toews is out, the harder it gets.

“I think you see it a lot of times with injuries where sometimes when you’re

missing a guy right away for a couple games it might not really show up in the lineup and guys are excited to get that chance,” said Patrick Kane, who set up Artemi Panarin’s game-tying goal with 6:54 left in the third. “The longer you go missing a great player, there’s going to be a hole missing. It’s nothing we can control.

“Guys like myself and other guys are going to have to step up and try to – whether take on a little bit more owner-

ship in leadership or playing the right way and trying to do whatever you can to help this team win.”

With Toews sitting out, the Hawks have had to improvise. They’re missing their best two-way player and have to pay closer attention to certain parts of their game, not to mention try to pick up the slack offensively in a lineup that doesn’t make as much sense when Toews is out.

“You have the lines a little mixed up here as we’re going along and we seem to be changing as we’re going into games. I still think you have to find a way to do what you can to make a contribution and look to make it more of a simpler game plan, keep it tight, not play a wide-open game,” Quenneville said.

For the Sun-Times

Here to stay: Gustav Forsling’s debut has been uneven, but maybe that’s to be expected for a 20-year-old defenseman in his first NHL season. Despite that, he’s not leaving.

Quenneville said the Hawks haven’t discussed sending Forsling back to Sweden, and that he’s here to stay. In talking about his performance, Quenneville said Forsling’s had some good games and seen some progression, and that his getting scratched the past two games “was not the worst thing for a young defenseman.”

“I think he’s got a good head on his shoulders. I think he’s got good reads,” Quenneville said. “I think he’s got good patience with the puck, as well. I think he’s come along alright and I think that at this stage of his career, you just continue to expect him to be getting better.”

Forsling did return to the lineup Sunday, while Michal Rozsival and Trevor van Riemsdyk were scratched.

8 BEARS 26, 49ERS 6

It’s OK to celebrate Bears’ victory BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush

Bears fans, please allow me to solve a dilemma for you.

It is OK to celebrate the Bears’ 26-6 victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday at Soldier Field. In fact, you should.

For those of you who think losing is ever the answer in the NFL – in this case, to get a higher draft pick – that is not the way the game is played, nor is it the way the game ever should be played.

You are never getting better when you’re losing.

Is it really a big deal whether the Bears pick third, fourth or fifth in the draft?

You can just as easily blow a pick or make a great choice at No. 5 as you can at No. 2. The top two candidates for rookie of the year this season are the Cowboys’ Ezekiel Elliott, who was the fourth overall choice, and Dak Prescott, who famously was a Cowboys fourthround pick.

And believe it or not, No. 3 might very well prove to be the Bears’ fifthround choice, Jordan Howard.

If this were a draft that offered one or two quarterback prospects worthy of top-five picks, such as 2015 when Jaemis

of their choices, and that would leave legitimate potential franchise-type players such as Jonathan Allen, Myles Garrett and Jabril Peppers there for the taking.

Or, if the Bears see something I don’t in one of the QBs, it won’t be overly expensive or difficult to move up and grab one with Cleveland or the Niners, knowing two of those three likely would be there for them.

It also is unnecessary to bemoan the quality of the 49ers team the Bears beat Sunday. That’s who was put in front of them, and the Bears’ youngsters aced a lesson in spanking a team they were supposed to.

More importantly, Howard, Matt Barkley, Cameron Meredith, Cody Whitehair, Leonard Floyd, Akiem Hicks, Nick Kwiatkoski and Bryce Callahan probably became better football H. Rick Bamman – hbamman@shawmedia.com players for the experience.

BEARS NOTES

Drive before halftime sparks Bears’ offense

By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@profootballweekly.com CHICAGO – Receiver Cameron Meredith didn’t notice that 28:17 into Sunday’s game, the Bears had yet to complete a pass.

In snowy conditions, Matt Barkley was 0 for 3, and the Bears faced a thirdand-5 with 1:43 to go in the half. They had only 34 yards of offense and trailed the 1-10 49ers, 6-0.

“Things were kind of slow. We were running the ball well. When we did get the opportunity, we took advantage of it and drove the ball down the field,” Meredith said.

Barkley completed back-to-back passes to Deonte Thompson, then found Meredith over the middle for 28 yards and again for 17 yards. Jordan Howard’s touchdown plunge punctuated the 81yard drive, giving the Bears a 7-6 lead going into halftime en route to a 26-6

drubbing.

From the time Barkley completed that pass to Thompson, the Bears outscored the 49ers 20-0 and outgained them 292 yards to 38.

For Thompson, the catches to spark the drive had extra significance, as his lost fumble on a kickoff return had kept the Bears Deonte without the football for Thompson more than seven minutes.

“It was important. We answered,” he said. “We had just given up a field goal from special teams – they turned around and got three points out of that – and we thought it was very important that we got some points going into halftime to get some momentum.”

That carried over into the third quarter, when the Bears went down the field

in 10 plays for another touchdown. The two big plays featured Barkley hitting Meredith for 22 yards and Josh Bellamy for 24 yards.

“I think that really spurred both sides of the ball to be motivated to finish the game strong,” Barkley said. “... That’s when we started to really gain momentum. We carried through the second half, especially with the opening drive, which helped the rest of the game.”

Thompson, who had a drop in the end zone on fourth down to end the comeback attempt last week – one of 10 drops in the loss to the Titans – said the receivers wanted redemption.

“Feed us,” he said was the message he gave Barkley. “We ready. We wanted to redeem ourselves from last week, so feed us. We kept screaming it on the sideline, in the huddle: Feed us, let us do it.”

Bellamy had two more drops but led the team with 93 yards receiving.

“It just goes to show you the confidence our coaches have in us,” Thompson said. “They believe in us. They know what we can do. They see us every day in practice. They believed in us, and they called our number and we answered.”

Bullard sits: The Bears’ third-round pick, Jonathan Bullard, was a healthy scratch, inactive for the first time this season.

“We have Mitch Unrein back, so we played Mitch,” coach John Fox said about Bullard being sidelined. “It was a little bit more advantageous with this kind of game, this kind of offense with [Unrein].”

Quick hits: Guard Josh Sitton was active but only came in when Cody Whitehair was injured. Fox said Sitton’s ankle injury was “a little tender.” … Adrian Amos, who had started all 27 games of his NFL career, was inactive with a foot injury. … Marquess Wilson sat most of the second half with a strained groin.

“Hats off to those guys in the locker room. A lot of the young guys had to answer the bell and they’ve done an outstanding job. It has been a lot of different guys having to step in and they’ve done a great job.”

– John Fox, Bears coach

“He’s a good back for us. We work hard and try to give him something. He does a good job of taking that something.

Just keeps his legs going and tries to squeeze through little holes.” – Eric Kush, Bears guard, on Jordan Howard

“We don’t want to just have one win, two losses, or one win, a loss, win-loss. We want to keep the victories coming consistently to keep a little momentum.” – Tracy Porter, Bears cornerback

INDIVIDUAL STATISTICS

Third-down defense: The 49ers converted only four of their 14 third downs into first downs, and they were 1 for 6 on third down in the second half. Two of the Bears’ five sacks came on third down.

Containing Kaepernick: Coming into Sunday playing at a high level, 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick had an awful afternoon in the elements, completing only 1 of 4 passes. He also was held to 20 rushing yards on six carries (3.3-yard average) one week after rushing for 113 yards against Miami, as the linebackers did a nice job preventing him from getting into the open field. Kaepernick eventually was benched for Blaine Gabbert.

3 that didn’t Special teams: It was an ugly day for the third phase. Ben Braunecker was late to get on the field for a punt, forcing a delay of game, and then he got beat for a blocked punt, which led to a 49ers field goal. Deonte Thompson lost a fumble on the ensuing kickoff return.

First-quarter offense: It took some time for the Bears to get rolling, as they had only 26 yards in the first quarter, all on the ground. Matt Barkley was 0 for 2 passing, and the team got one first down in the first quarter.

First-half run defense: Carlos Hyde had an impressive first half with 17 carries for 74 yards, rushing 4.4 yards a carry. The 49ers had seven first downs, all by running the ball, before halftime.

3 moments that mattered

1 2 3

The first completion: It took until 1:43 left in the first half before Bears QB Matt Barkley found Thompson for 8 yards and a first down, his first completed pass of the afternoon. The play sparked an end-of-half drive that resulted in a touchdown to take a 7-6 lead into the locker room.

Using your head: With the Bears up, 14-6, the defense had an opportunity to make a play on thirdand-6, and John Timu’s helmet did the job. Kaepernick went deep for Shaun Draughn, and the pass bounced off TImu’s helmet, forcing a punt. The Bears went up, 21-6, on their next drive.

Floyd’s two points: The exclamation point on the second-biggest victory in the John Fox era came from the Bears’ first-round pick. Back after missing a game with a concussion suffered in New York, Leonard Floyd sacked Gabbert in the end zone for a safety.

What now?

Record: 3-9 What it means: The chances of getting the No. 2 pick in the draft took a hit, but the Bears improved to .500 at home this season.

What’s next: The Bears head to Detroit to take on the NFC North-leading Lions, one of three teams the Bears have defeated this season.

10 COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF

Ohio St. makes playoff; Penn St. left out

By RALPH D. RUSSO The Associated Press

In the end, true chaos never came to college football this season. Four teams that started near the top of the College Football Playoff rankings will play for the national championship.

Alabama will face Washington in one semifinal, and Clemson meets Ohio State in the other. None of them was ranked any lower than sixth since the selection committee started ranking teams in early November.

Even after a wild finish to championship Saturday, selection Sunday went pretty much as expected.

The committee stayed with the same top four it picked going into championship weekend, leaving out No. 5 Penn State even though the Nittany Lions won the Big Ten title game and beat

Ohio State earlier in the season.

The Buckeyes (11-1) are the first team to reach the playoff in its three-year history without winning their conference.

The unbeaten Crimson Tide (13-0) are in the playoff for the third straight season and are the top seed for the second time. They will play the fourth-ranked Huskies (12-1) in the Peach Bowl in Atlanta on Dec. 31. Kickoff is set for 2 p.m.

Alabama has played Washington four times previously, twice in bowls and not since 1986. Huskies fans were holding up signs at games late in the season, proclaiming “We want Bama.”

“Sometimes you got to be careful what you wish for,” Washington coach Chris Petersen said on ESPN. “I didn’t hold up that sign.”

Nick Saban and Alabama will be trying to win their fifth national championship in eight years, and second straight.

Washington’s last national title came in 1991, when the Huskies were No. 1 in the final coaches’ poll.

Petersen, the former Boise State coach in his third season with Washington, never has faced Saban and said he does not know him well.

“I feel like I know him, I see him on TV so much,” Petersen said.

No. 3 Ohio State is making its second playoff appearance, and No. 2 Clemson (12-1) is in for the second consecutive season. The Buckeyes and Tigers will meet Dec. 31 at the Fiesta Bowl in Glendale, Arizona. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m.

Ohio State won the first College Football Playoff after the 2014 season, and Clemson lost to Alabama in last season’s championship game.

Ohio State and Clemson have played twice before, both in bowl games. The last time was after the 2013 season.

The one difference from last week’s top four and the final one was Clemson and Ohio State switched spots. So the Tigers will wear the home jerseys in University of Phoenix stadium instead of the Buckeyes.

Selection committee chairman Kirby Hocutt said the decision came down not to Penn State and Ohio State, but the Nittany Lions (11-2) and Pac-12 champion Washington.

The Huskies’ only loss was to Southern California, and its nonconference schedule featured FCS Portland State, Rutgers and Idaho. Penn State played Pitt, Temple and Kent State outside the conference and lost to the Panthers. The Nittany Lions also were beaten by 39 at Michigan in their last loss.

Penn State finished the season on a nine-game winning streak to make a strong closing statement.

SPORTS BRIEFS Matsuyama wins 3rd straight tourney; Woods fades to 15th

NASSAU, Bahamas – The return of Tiger Woods ended with Hideki Matsuyama winning his third straight tournament, and fourth out of his past five, Sunday in the Hero World Challenge.

Matsuyama’s seven-shot lead at the start of the final round was reduced to two shots over Henrik Stenson with two to play.

Matsuyama closed with two pars for a 1-over-par 73 and a two-shot victory.

Woods found plenty of positives from his

first tournament in more than 15 months, although the final round featured three double bogeys and a 76 – the highest score of the tournament – that dropped him to 15th place out of 17 players.
