Good morning, McHenry County ...

Aiming to improve online experience With 2017 nearly upon us, I wanted to share with you some of the changes that already are happening on NWHerald.com, and what that means for you, the reader.

Starting last week, we began the process of executing one of our biggest goals for 2017: Making the user experience online a top priority. We’ve heard the feedback from readers over the past couple of years.

Our website is too slow, not streamlined enough, there are too many obstacles when all I want to do is find out about a local event, etc.

We’ve heard you, and we’re taking steps to fix it. That starts by making NWHerald.com faster and stripping down some of the most intrusive obstacles.

At Shaw Media, we are making a committed effort to have faster load times. You want news. You want to learn about an event. You want to read up on that new restaurant in town. We want to get you there as quickly as possible.

NEW YORK – A trending story that claims Hillary Clinton won a total of 57 counties in the presidential election is untrue. The Associated Press finds that Clinton won 487 counties nationwide, compared with 2,626 for President-elect Donald Trump.

The story appeared on several viral content sites that cater to some of Trump’s supporters. It also falsely claimed that Clinton outpaced Trump by more than 2 million votes in the five counties that comprise New York City, which the story said accounted for the entirety of her lead in the national popular vote. An AP count finds that Clinton beat Trump by about 1.5 million votes in New York City.

ith Christmas Day rapidly approaching, Dawn Peterson, who bought Oney’s Tree Farm with her husband in 1983, said she expects to see some familiar faces at the farm.

“Some of our customers are grandparents who have come out here for many years with their children, and now with their

grandchildren,” Peterson said.

Oney’s Tree Farm in Woodstock is one of the oldest tree farms in McHenry County.

“The farm started selling Christmas trees in the early 1960s,” Peterson said.

While a lot of local Christmas tree farms are open only on weekends, Oney’s is open daily, offering customers firs, pines and spruces.

Pioneer Tree Farm has been selling cut-your-own Christmas trees since 1973 and has a variety of pines, spruces, cedars and firs to choose from. The farm’s trees are organically grown and pruned by hand, and 10 percent of tree sales are donated to the Environmental Defenders of McHenry County.

McHENRY

GOP committee holds caucus to nominate candidates for office

By NATE LINHART nlinhart@shawmedia.com McHENRY – The McHenry Township Republican Central Committee held its first caucus in 20 years Tuesday to nominate Republican candidates for McHenry Township office.

The caucus was held at the McHenry VFW to nominate Republican candidates for supervisor, road district commissioner, clerk and four trustee positions.

More than 150 people from McHenry County attended the caucus to vote. Residents were allowed to participate if they were a registered voter and had not voted in another political party’s primary election in the past 12 months.

“The turnout here is indicative of the fact that they are tired of having to pay the high taxes coming out of Springfield,” McHenry resident John Nelson said. “We

After tallying the votes, Steve Verr was nominated as the party’s candidate for supervisor, Steve Koerber was nominated as the party’s candidate for road district commissioner and Dan Aylward was chosen as

the party’s candidate for clerk.

Mike Rakestraw, Bill Cunningham, Bob Anderson and Stan Wojewski were nominated as the Republican Party’s candidates for trustees.

“I’m running to be a trustee to explore why we can’t eliminate some of these townships, and why we can’t consolidate them,” Anderson said.

Verr said he would cut his own salary as supervisor.

“Could you imagine that, someone trying to cut their own salary,” Verr said.

“When I leave that office for the next term, it’s going to be at parity with the County Board.”

Aylward, who ran unopposed, said his mission is to help lower taxes and cut down the number of government units.

“We have 7,000 government units that we don’t need, and that’s twice of what California has,” Aylward said.

PHYSICIAN OWNED AND OPERATED

By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com A federal grand jury indicted a Solon Mills man with a history of sex crimes against children on child pornography charges.

Wayne Gibbons, 66, faces two counts of transporting child pornography via the internet. The incidents allegedly occurred in June 2013, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Illinois.

Each count of transporting child pornography carries a mandatory minimum sentence of five years with a maximum potential sentence of 20 years and a $250,000 fine.

Gibbons in 2006 was sentenced to 4½ years in jail after pleading guilty in McHenry County court to aggravated criminal sexual abuse for performing a sex act on a 13-year-old boy he knew. As part of his sentence, Gibbons, who at the time of his conviction was living in Wonder Lake, was required to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.

He also pleaded guilty in 1989 to a child pornography charge, according to McHenry County court records.

Family to continue fight for vet’s Medal of Honor after his death

By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com FOX LAKE – The battle to get a Marine veteran a Medal of Honor his family claims was denied to him because of his Native American heritage will go on without him.

Longtime village resident Loren Duke Abdalla died Sunday after a battle with lung and colon cancer. He was 91.

His grandson, Doug Nykolaycuyk, called Abdalla a man of strong convictions who always led by example.

“He is a man that alLoren Duke ways walked on the side Abdalla of right, and with tremendous class. He never swore or did things that weren’t fitting to doing the right thing,” Nykolaycuyk said.

Abdalla’s death comes just as the family’s quest, aided by a U.S. senator, received new life with the discovery of new evidence backing his heroism during the Marines’ bloody campaign on Okinawa in the closing months of World War II. Abdalla, then a corporal nicknamed “The Indian” by his fellow Marines because of his Yankton Sioux heritage, was ordered to take his 12-member squad and destroy six Japanese machine-gun nests as part of a platoon effort to secure a ridge. He rescued a fellow squad leader who had been hit by a phosphorus grenade, carried him under heavy fire to safety and put out the phosphorus before it could burn the Marine to death.

By the time his squad had reached and destroyed the fourth nest, Abdalla realized that his men were either dead or wounded, so he destroyed the remaining two nests single-handedly, allowing the rest of the platoon to de-

‘‘

stroy a larger emplacement and clear a path for the Marines to advance.

Although other Marines who participated in the attack were decorated – two members of his squad received the Silver Star, the military’s third-highest medal for valor – Abdalla was not.

His highest decoration is the Purple Heart he received after being hit by shrapnel and having his eardrums blown out after an explosion during the earlier Battle of Peleliu. The Purple Heart has no politics, and it is automatically given to a soldier, sailor, airman or Marine upon receiving a combat injury.

The name of the Marine he carried to safety was John Brady, a fellow corporal. Although Brady died 32 years ago in Rhode Island, his family recently found letters that he wrote from the hospital in 1945 confirming the account that one witness had already given the committee hearing Abdalla’s case for the Medal of Honor. Requests to review whether a medal should have been awarded after the fact almost always require at least two witnesses.

U.S. Sen. John Thune, a Republican who represents Abdalla’s home state of South Dakota, has taken up Abdalla’s case and is asking for an expedited re-

view with the new testimony in hand.

Abdalla’s case comes up as the military and Congress have shown interest in correcting past cases where racial or religious prejudice prevented war heroes from being recognized. His quest began in 2004, when the attorney he consulted on a zoning matter turned out to be a retired Marine captain who heard his story and concluded that he should have received a decoration for his heroism.

Nykolaycuyk said he and his family will continue to fight to get Abdalla the Medal of Honor.

“He asked me last week if I would see this through for him. … I said this story has wings and will fly with the eagles, and he smiled and sat back comfortably,” Nykolaycuyk said.

Abdalla is survived by a son and a daughter, four grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.

The visitation will be from 1 p.m. until a 5 p.m. eulogy Sunday at Hamsher Lakeside Funerals and Cremations, 12 N. Pistakee Lake Road, Fox Lake, with burial to follow at 1 p.m. Monday in Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery in Elwood.

In lieu of flowers, the family is asking that donations be directed to the Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program.

Two McHenry County natives have received the nation’s highest award for valor.

Elmer Bigelow of Hebron died in 1945 while saving his ship from exploding from a hit by a Japanese shell during World War II, and Hugh Patrick Mullin of Richmond saved a shipmate from drowning in 1899. Mullin was one of a handful of recipients who won the award for peacetime valor before the rules were changed to limit the award to valor shown during direct combat with an enemy.

include the correct location.

Although the school district is taking the 2.15 percent inflationary increase it is entitled to under the tax cap, the overall extension will decrease because of the retiring of the bonds that paid for the construction of Prairie Ridge High School, district Assistant Superintendent for Finance and Operations Jeremy Davis said.

A smaller extension does not guaran-

tee that a property owner’s taxes will decrease, especially if the home or land has increased in value.

The school district, which oversees four high schools, chose last year not to collect the inflationary increase.

The tax cap limits the increase that taxing bodies can collect over the previous year’s extension to either the rate of inflation or 5 percent, whichever is less.

Sycamore vet recounts Pearl Harbor attack 95-year-old served in the Army Air Forces

By STEPHANIE MARKHAM smarkham@shawmedia.com

Matthew Apgar – mapgar@shawmedia.com

Burton Miller, 95, of Sycamore wears his Air Force service jacket displaying his technical sergeant insignia as he poses Nov. 30 at his home in Sycamore with an older, undated photo of himself from the Army Air Forces.

SYCAMORE – Burton Miller was on his way to eat breakfast when the first bombs of the Pearl Harbor attack were dropped on his Army Air Forces base.

On Dec. 7, 1941, 19-year-old Burton Miller and his 17-year-old brother, Wayne, were stationed at Wheeler Field in Hawaii – one of the first places the Japanese attacked.

It was a bright Sunday morning, compelling Burton to break his usual routine and get up for breakfast. Meanwhile, Wayne was in the barracks taking a shower.

“I got up and went up for breakfast for the first time, and I got through the breakfast door, and a bomb comes down right next to me,” Burton said.

“And it hits the lawn, and it didn’t hit the street, so I started running because they said that [the Japanese] were going to land troops there.”

Burton, 95, has lived in Sycamore for the past four years with his wife,

Berniece, also 95. Wayne died in 2011 at age 88.

A total of 33 men died at Wheeler Field that day. In all, more than 2,300 U.S. service members were killed when Japanese planes struck the naval base in Hawaii in an attack that dragged the U.S. into World War II. Both brothers survived the attack, but they wouldn’t see each other for another three days, as the men hid, believing Japanese troops planned to invade the Hawaiian island of Oahu.

Their mother wouldn’t get word of their survival until a month later.

Bruce Miller, Burton’s son, said his father and uncle enlisted in the Army Air Corps after seeing an ad in their local newspaper in Mount Vernon. They had been in Hawaii less than a year before the attack.

“The ad said to sign up for four years in the Army Air Corps and spend three years in Hawaii,” Bruce said. “This was 1940; they had no idea what was coming, and they thought, ‘What could be better?’ Two farm boys get away from milking cows and doing chores.”

The Army Air Corps became the Army Air Forces on June 20, 1941.

Burton was out of high school and studying at college, but Wayne was not

“We had to lie a little bit [about Wayne’s age],” Burton said.

Wayne’s job at the time was outfitting men with parachutes, so he was tasked with identifying bodies based on their parachute numbers. “[Wayne] was down at one of the hangars that they had converted into a morgue, and he was going through looking for his brother,” Bruce said.

two years after the attack.

“The rest of the two years was like heaven,” Burton said. “It rained every other day. It could’ve been worse, and it was worse in Belgium.”

Burton went on to serve in England, France and Belgium, where he conveyed orders and communications during the Battle of the Bulge, the last major German offensive campaign of World War II. One of the barracks in Belgium was an old chicken house where soldiers had to endure the cold winter.

“I had six blankets and I couldn’t get warm,” Burton remembered.

Burton then had to go to the hospital, although he said he can’t recall why.

“That was after Hitler took over Europe,” he said. “We had our fighter planes that went from England to France and then up to Belgium supporting our troops, chasing Hitler at the time. And when I got to Belgium, I had to go to the hospital, and when I come back, the war was over.”

Burton married Berniece in 1946, nearly 71 years ago. The couple lived in Chicago for about 60 years.

Berniece said she worked making

soldiers uniforms during the war, while men would work on farms and in factories.

“All of our foods were rationed, and we had food stamps,” Berniece said.

“You could only get so much gas and so much everything at that time.”

She said they first lived in a oneroom apartment, had no car and were on a waiting list to get a refrigerator.

She had to take three street cars, each costing 8 cents, to get to her job at Marshall Field’s.

“We went down the hall to go to the bathroom where four families shared.

It was rough,” she said. “We were able to get an apartment over a home, so we thought we were in heaven to get that because it had a bedroom and a living room.”

Karen Narayan, daughter of Burton and Wayne’s oldest brother, Ernest, who served in the Navy during World War II, said she recalled a story about Wayne fighting unarmed against Japanese soldiers in Saipan in which he disguised himself in blood from another soldier and played dead until the Japanese left hours later.

“I asked Uncle Wayne, ‘How could you do all this?’ ” Narayan said. “His reply was, ‘Karen, just as you go to the grocery store shopping, we just did. We didn’t think about what we were doing, we just did.’ ”

Health department advises residents to receive flu shot Know more

By JORDYN REILAND jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Those who have yet to get a flu shot are urged to do so as soon as possible, according to the McHenry County Department of Health.

This week, from Dec. 4 to Dec. 10, is National Influenza Vaccination Week – a national observance to highlight the importance of the vaccination.

Mike Hill, administrator for the department, said people typically get the flu vaccine in the early fall, but flu activity usually peaks between December and March.

“If you haven’t already gotten a flu shot, it’s not too late,” Hill said in a news release.

The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices has temporarily recommended that people get a flu shot and

avoid the nasal spray because of concerns about how well the spray worked during last year’s flu season.

Nearly 50 percent of children 6 months old to 17 years old have received a flu vaccination during the past 12 months, according to data from the 2015 National Health Interview Survey.

About 48 percent of adults ages 50 to 64 years old got a flu vaccination last year.

Flu shots are available through a health care provider or a local pharmacy. Those interested in speaking to a McHenry County Department of Health nurse can call 815-334-4580.

• TREE FARMS

Continued from page A3 Remembering back to her first day of selling trees, Peterson said it was raining heavily, but that didn’t stop customers from coming to the farm.

“People came out in raincoats and galoshes,” Peterson said. “So we immediately learned that customers typically come out every year on a designated day no matter the weather.”

But after running the farm for more than 30 years, Peterson sold the farm to her son and daughter-in-law last year.

“They took over the management very recently, so now I would consider myself just an employee,” Peterson said. “They’ve been doing a great job so far.”

Oney’s isn’t the only Christmas tree farm in McHenry County to be passed down to the next generation.

Owner Ben Czarnowski originally opened Ben’s Christmas Farm in Harvard in the 1980s. However, when he died in 2013, it was up to his wife and three sons to keep the farm going.

“This tree farm is just a great memory of him,” said Chris Czarnowski, Ben’s son.

“It’s a family affair,” Chris Czarnowski said. “My mom answers the phones, and both my brothers are involved with this as well.”

Chris Czarnowski said he has been working at the 55-acre farm since he

McHenry County holiday roundup From the Woodstock Square’s thousands of twinkling lights to the Dole Mansion’s elegant holiday display, community spirit is shining bright throughout McHenry County.

THE WOODSTOCK SQUARE It’s a Victorian Christmas in Woodstock, with its quaint historic square complete with free horse-drawn carriage rides on the weekends and a nearby indoor Christmas Tree Walk at the Opera House.

“It’s one of the most community-inspiring events that you really feel a part of things,” said Terry Willcockson, a resident of Woodstock for 30 years and a city employee for 22, who said she loves Christmastime on the Woodstock Square.

“It’s just one of those things,” she said. “You get down there, and the energy just grabs onto you.”

THE DOLE MANSION At Lakeside Legacy Arts Park in Crystal Lake, the Dole Mansion exudes holiday spirit with decorated trees indoors and out and winter-themed art displays.

The Dole Gallery features “Disturbances in the Field,” a display of photography-based digital images by Sara Risley, while “Watercolors of Winter” by various members of the Lake Region Watercolor Guild has taken over the Sage Gallery.

“We openly invite the community to come and see the beautiful holiday decorations and experience the festivities here,” said Sibhan Cottone, executive director of Lakeside Legacy Arts Center. “It truly is a magical experience.” was a child. And just as he helped take over for his father, Chris said he plans to pass the tree farm down to his children someday.

“I’ve gotten to know great people throughout the years working here, and I’m hoping my kids can have that same experience as well,” Chris Czarnowski said.

Another tree farm that’s been around for a while in the county is McHenry’s Pioneer Tree Farm, which first started selling Christmas trees in 1973.

“At Pioneer Tree Farm, our trees are raised organically, and people have fun cutting their own,” farm owner Bill Howenstine said.

“We immediately learned that customers typically come out every year on a designated day no matter the weather.”

Dawn Peterson Former owner of Oney’s Tree Farm The McHenry farm is only open for the holiday season, and 10 percent of proceeds from the tree sales are donated to the Environmental Defenders of McHenry County.

“We sold 54 trees our first year and have been doing it ever since,” Howenstine said. “My family members help out as well.”

At another tree farm, Pine-Apple Farm in Cary, owner Jim Kohl started selling Christmas trees in the early ’90s.

“We’re a Christian-based, small tree farm,” Kohl said. “We plant about 700 to 800 trees each spring.”

Kohl said that because of the quality of service offered at Pine-Apple Farm, he sees the same customers come back every year.

“I take a lot of time taking care of the trees, so we tend to get a high percentage of good trees, which our returning customers all comment on,” Kohl said.

“We also offer to help tie on the trees for people to their cars, and people really seem to appreciate that.”

STATE

Illinois budget still elusive as leaders lash out

By IVAN MORENO The Associated Press

CHICAGO – As Illinois remains without a budget, legislative leaders and Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner are succeeding more at frustrating each other than at striking a deal to end an 18-month budget impasse that is damaging the state’s fiscal health every day.

The relationship between ruling Democrats, Republican leaders, and the governor has only grown more toxic after several meetings where both sides are more likely to lash out at each other than to report meaningful progress in passing a full budget that’s been overdue since July 1, 2015. The finger-pointing gives little hope legislative leaders can get a budget done by year’s end when a six-month partial spending plan expires, leaving some social service providers struggling to stay open, and colleges and universities facing an uncertain future.

Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan, who has ruled the state party for over three decades, has become the Republicans’ favorite target for attacks, even as they try to get him to capitulate to Rauner’s conditions for a budget.

Last week, after Madigan cited a scheduling conflict for missing a negotiating session, the Illinois Republican Party launched a “Boss Madigan” website criticizing his tenure as the country’s longest-serving state House speaker and highlighting lawmakers loyal to

Illinois to mark 75 years since attack on Pearl Harbor

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois will mark the 75th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor and honor the men and women who died there with a ceremony in Springfield.

The Illinois Department of Veterans’ Affairs said the event is scheduled for Wednesday at the Disabled American Veterans Hall. It will include the reading of a proclamation signed by Gov. Bruce Rauner and a wreath laying in the waters of Lake Springfield.

The Sangamon County Inter-veteran Honor Guard also will play taps.

After emerging from a 90-minute leaders’ meeting Tuesday, Madigan said he didn’t know whether the rhetoric was affecting closed-door discussions. He described the tone as “respectful,” though minutes later accused former venture capitalist Rauner of holding the budget

hostage “to help his wealthy friends and large corporations.” He didn’t elaborate.

“It’s not affecting me,” he said of the website critical of his leadership. “I’m speaker of the House. I’m a candidate for re-election. It is unusual that one party would come across and get themselves involved in a leadership election.”

Republicans said their campaign was just part of being in politics.

CHICAGO – Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said he has spoken to President-elect Donald Trump by telephone and mentioned Chicago’s status as a sanctuary city for immigrants.

Emanuel said Trump called him to talk about the White House transition. Emanuel is a former White House chief of staff to President Barack Obama and also worked in the Clinton administration.

Emanuel spoke about the call at an unrelated event Monday. The mayor said he discussed “a range of things” with Trump.

Wisconsin woman dies in wrong-way crash in Illinois

SOUTH BELOIT – Authorities said a 78-year-old Wisconsin woman died after a wrong-way crash on Interstate 90 in northern Illinois.

Illinois State Police said the woman from Janesville was driving a car traveling east in the westbound lanes of the freeway near the South Beloit Toll Plaza in Winnebago County on Monday when she collided head-on with another vehicle. Police said the woman died at the scene.

The driver of the other vehicle, who was identified as a 25-year-old man from Loves Park, was taken to a hospital with what were described as injuries that

can Leader Christine Radogno said. “It should not impact these discussions.”

Democratic Senate President John Cullerton went a step further, accusing Republicans of getting a jump-start on the 2018 gubernatorial election. Rauner plans to seek a second term.

“I don’t think it’s helpful to start the election cycle for 2018 when we’re still worrying about fiscal year 2017,” Cullerton told reporters Tuesday. “The election occurred a few weeks ago, could we just legislate for a while?”

Rauner, who has used his vast wealth to fund the state party, proved last month to Democrats that his fortune can go a long way toward defeating their incumbents: Democrats lost four House lawmakers and their supermajority on Election Day. Even so, Rauner has called on both sides to “tone down the rhetoric.”

“Heated rhetoric doesn’t help. Getting emotional doesn’t help. Pointing fingers doesn’t help,” he said Friday.

Not backing down, Madigan sent Rauner a list of demands for future budget negotiations, including having “memorandums of understanding” for past and future budget agreements – a sign of the growing distrust between the Democratic leader and the governor.

Madigan called for memorandums of understanding during the administration of former Gov. Rod Blagojevich because he didn’t trust him to keep his word on spending agreements.

Illinois manufacturer plans to close, lay off 86

BOURBONNAIS – Alabama Metal Industries has informed the Illinois Department of Commerce & Economic Opportunity that it plans to close its plant in Bourbonnais and lay off its 86 employees.

Tim Nugent is CEO and president of the Economic Alliance of Kankakee County. He told The Daily Journal in Kankakee that he was surprised by the news that the plant will close by Feb. 28.

Alabama Metal had told him in the summer that the company was investing $5 million in upgrades for the facility.

The company’s headquarters in Birmingham, Alabama, did not return a phone call seeking comment.

Military personnel salute as Air Force One, with President Barack Obama aboard, departs Nov. 6 at Andrews Air Force Base, Md. President-elect Donald Trump wants the government’s contract for a new Air Force One canceled.

Trump interjects himself in Air Force One, business deals

By JONATHAN LEMIRE The Associated Press FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. – President-elect Donald Trump, a political newcomer who touts his corporate skills, turned businessman-in-chief Tuesday, first demanding the government cancel a multibillion-dollar order for new presidential planes and then hailing a Japanese company’s commitment to invest billions in the U.S. “We will defend American jobs. We have to look at it almost like a war,” Trump thundered in North Carolina, vowing to keep companies from moving overseas during the second stop of his “thank you” tour to salute his supporters. “We want the next generation of innovation and production to happen right here in America.”

Trump was far less bombastic than during the tour’s kickoff in Ohio last week, striking more of the healing notes traditionally delivered by a president-to-be in the weeks after a bruising election.

“We will heal our divisions and unify our country. When Americans are unified there is nothing we cannot do – nothing!” he told the crowd in Fayetteville. “I’m asking you to dream big again as Americans. I’m asking you to believe in yourselves.”

The Republican businessman largely stuck to the script Tuesday – and, in a change, even stopped the crowd when it started to boo the media – and avoided some of the score-settling and scorched-earth rhetoric that defined his campaign and was present again last week in Cincinnati. He also repeated his vow to fortify the nation’s military and brought Marine Gen. James Mattis on stage, officially naming his choice to be Defense Secretary after teasing it last week.

Earlier in the day, Trump plainly telegraphed that when he takes office in six weeks he’ll take an interventionist role in the nation’s economy – as well as play showman when he

sees a chance. The celebrity businessman’s declaration about Air Force One caused manufacturer Boeing’s stock to drop temporarily and raised fresh questions about how his administration – not to mention his Twitter volleys – could affect the economy.

“The plane is totally out of control,” Trump told reporters in the lobby of Trump Tower. “I think Boeing is doing a little bit of a number.

We want Boeing to make a lot of money, but not that much money.” Earlier he had tweeted that the deal’s costs were “out of control, more than $4 billion. Cancel order!”

Not long after his first appearance, Trump returned to the lobby with Masayoshi Son, the CEO of SoftBank, a massive telecommunications company that counts Sprint among its holdings. Trump pointed proudly to Son’s commitment to invest $50 billion in the United States, which Trump said could create 50,000 jobs.

Trump – who also tweeted the deal – shook Son’s hand and posed for photos, reveling as he had last week when he toured a Carrier plant in Indiana where he said he had instigated an agreement that will preserve about 1,000 jobs the appliance maker had planned to move to Mexico. Details of the deal were scarce and it was unclear whether the money was part of a fund of up to $100 billion in global technology investments that SoftBank and the government of Saudi Arabia announced in October.

As for Air Force One, the government has agreed that Boeing will build two new planes, which would go into service around 2024.

That means Trump might never fly on the aircraft, which carry U.S. presidents around the globe.

The Air Force has pressed for a faster schedule, saying the aging current Boeing 747s are becoming too expensive to repair and keep in good flying shape. The overall deal for researching, developing and building new planes was to be about $3 billion, but costs have been reported to be rising.

Official: Refrigerator could be source of Calif. fire

By PAUL ELIAS and SUDHIN THANAWALA The Associated Press OAKLAND, Calif. – Investigators said Tuesday that a warehouse fire in Oakland that killed 36 people did not appear to have been set intentionally and may have been caused by a refrigerator or other electrical appliance.

Details about a possible cause emerged as fire crews nearly completed their search for bodies in the most lethal building fire in the U.S. in more than a decade. The death toll remained at 36 and was not expected to go higher.

Tearful family members visited the scene and exchanged hugs hours after the founder of the arts collective that used the warehouse stood near the gutted building and said he was “incredibly sorry.”

“Everything that I did was to make this a stronger and more beautiful community and to bring people together,” Derick Ion Almena told the “Today Show” on NBC. Almena said he was at the site to put his face and his body in front of the scene, but he deflected blame for the blaze, saying he signed a lease for the building that “was to city standards supposedly.”

The fire broke out during a dance party Friday night in the cluttered warehouse. It had been converted to artists’ studios and illegal living spaces,

Tex Allen offers hugs for mourners during a vigil Monday in memory of victims of a warehouse fire at Lake Merritt in Oakland, Calif. Family members and friends are being notified as firefighters continue a painstaking search for victims of the Oakland warehouse fire. and former denizens said it was a death trap of piled wood, furniture, snaking electrical cords and only two exits.

A refrigerator was a potential source of the fire, but it was too soon to say for sure, said Jill Snyder, special agent in charge of the San Francisco office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

Snyder said investigators were look-

ing at “anything electrical” on the first floor of the warehouse near the origin of the blaze.

“We have no indication that this was intentionally set,” she said.

Almena did not respond to emails or calls to phone numbers associated with him by The Associated Press.

He told San Jose television station KNTV that he didn’t attend the event

Friday night and that he and his wife had decided to stay at a hotel because he was exhausted.

City and state officials fielded years of complaints about dangerous conditions, drugs, neglected children, trash, thefts and squabbles at the warehouse, raising questions about why it wasn’t shut down. The district attorney warned of possible murder charges as she determines whether there were any crimes linked to the blaze.

Crews had searched 90 percent of the building known as the “Ghost Ship” for bodies as of Tuesday afternoon and were expecting to complete the rest of the search by midnight. Fire officials started knocking down parts of the building that they said were structurally unsound.

Alameda County Sheriff’s Deputy Tya Modeste said of the 36 victims found, 26 of their families have been notified. Another nine bodies have been “tentatively identified,” she said. Officials are still lacking any type of identity for one individual.

Stories of the victims’ last minutes, meanwhile, emerged.

Alameda County sheriff’s spokesman Sgt. Ray Kelly said that some of the victims texted relatives, “I’m going to die,” and “I love you.”

Rescue crews found bodies of people “protecting each other, holding each other,” Kelly said.

Mistrial in S.C. police shooting case mystifies observers

By ERRIN HAINES WHACK and JEFFREY COLLINS The Associated Press COLUMBIA, S.C. – The video was unambiguous: A white police officer fatally shot an unarmed black man in the back as the man ran away.

But a South Carolina jury was unable to agree on a verdict in one of the nation’s ghastliest police shootings, with a lone holdout forcing a mistrial. The outcome stung many African-Americans and others. If that kind of evidence can’t produce a conviction, they asked, what can?

“There’s a jury full of people and they cannot decide if it’s illegal to shoot someone who is running away from you?” said activist Johnetta Elzie, who is black. “What do you say about a country that feels this way about black people? If you can’t see the humanity in that, I don’t know what we’re talking about anymore.”

Prosecutors plan to retry officer Michael Slager, who is scheduled to be tried separately next year on federal charges that he violated Walter Scott’s civil rights.

North Charleston city officials approved a $6.5 million civil settlement for Scott’s family earlier this year.

Slager remains free on bail.

South Carolina Republican Gov. Nikki Haley voiced her support for Scott’s family, saying in a statement that justice “is not always immediate, but we must all have faith that it will be served.”

Scott, 50, was killed in April 2015 after he was shot five times. A barber on his way to work recorded the slay- Michael ing on his cellphone.

Slager The panel of 11 white jurors and one black juror deliberated for 22 hours.

At one point, a juror sent a letter directly to the judge saying he could not “with good conscience approve a guilty verdict” and that he was unlikely to change his mind.

As they weighed their decision, jurors also asked the judge to explain the legal difference between fear and passion and inquired whether the self-defense standard was the same for offi-

cers as ordinary citizens.

NAACP President Cornell Brooks called the jury’s decision “a disappointing delay in the delivery of justice.”

Hours after the mistrial, a tweet from three Black Lives Matter co-founders said, “Some days the hashtag is too painful to participate in.”

Elzie, one of the first protesters in Ferguson, Missouri, after the fatal 2014 shooting of Michael Brown by a white officer, said word of the hung jury left her numb.

“When it comes to justice and black people in America, I don’t expect it,” she said with a sigh.

Randall Kennedy, a black Harvard University law professor and author of several books on race relations, had difficulty reconciling the law with the mistrial, which he called “frightening.”

“It appeared as though it was open and shut,” said Kennedy, a native of Columbia, South Carolina. “Obviously, this is a case of some criminal action on the part of this police officer. Is it at all plausible that you have a man running and a police officer says, ‘I’m firing in self-defense?’ ”

He added: “It’s at this point that people are truly exasperated and say, ‘Do we really have anything that can seriously be called the administration of criminal justice?’ Can we reach people? Are people even persuadable?”

On the day after the mistrial, Charles Witherspoon sat in the main library in Columbia, reading the newspaper.

He followed the trial closely and is well-versed in the facts of the case, like the 17 feet that separated Scott and the officer when he began firing at Scott.

Witherspoon, who is black, had no doubt Slager was guilty of murder, but the mistrial did not come as a surprise.

It’s an outcome the 54-year-old South Carolina native has come to expect.

“Murder is murder – unless you are a police officer,” he said. “Someone is always going to find a way out for a police officer.”

National Action Network South Carolina President James Johnson urged people to give the second trial a chance before they get angry. He said he heard rumors of people threatening to “burn” Charleston, but he does not think it will happen.

Couldn’t shippers seek to renegotiate if contracts expire?

Yes. When Dakota Access signed on shippers in 2014, crude oil prices were at $95 a barrel, but they’ve averaged around $45 to $50 a barrel recently, which could be in incentive for some to use the delay as a reason to want to open up the terms for renegotiation.

DES MOINES, Iowa – The completion of the Dakota Access oil pipeline has been delayed after the U.S. Army declined to grant an easement for the final few thousand feet under a Missouri River reservoir in North Dakota pending further study.

Pipeline company Energy Transfer Partners originally was expected to finish the pipeline before the end of this year, but the Army’s move likely delays it by several months.

That will be costly to the Dallas-based company, but industry experts say it’s unlikely to kill the project completely.

Here’s a look at some of the ways the delay could impact the pipeline:

in Illinois. He said the company has long-term transportation contracts with nine shippers indicating the pipeline will be in service by Jan. 1, 2017, and the shippers have the right to terminate those contracts if terms aren’t met.

Industry experts said the contracts likely have several target dates including project start date, in-service date and differing start dates for the nine shippers.

It’s difficult to say when they might walk, but shippers are unlikely to cancel the deal easily because most are probably shipping by rail now at a cost of $8 or $9 a barrel, while the pipeline is likely to cost much less, more like $5 or $6 a barrel, said Skip York, a vice president at energy industry consultant Wood Mackenzie.

A doctor in the house?

It was less than a month ago that a spokesman for retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson told reporters the erstwhile GOP presidential candidate would not be serving the Trump administration in anything but an unofficial advisory capacity.

“Dr. Carson feels he has no government experience,” Armstrong Williams said, “he’s never run a federal agency. The last thing he would want to do was take a position that could cripple the presidency.”

On that basis alone, President-elect Donald Trump’s announcement Monday that Carson would be his choice to head the Department of Housing and Urban Development was baffling. Add the fact Carson has no relevant expertise whatsoever (secretary of health and human services, the previous job for which the highly accomplished physician was mentioned, might have been a different story) and Trump’s pick goes well beyond baffling.

To be sure, HUD’s mission, in large part, is to help the urban poor through administering public housing, distributing rental-assistance vouchers and other programs; Carson’s Detroit boyhood certainly taught him what it is like to grow up poor in a segregated big city and to succeed against the odds. Carson, however, comes equipped with little more than the generalities about abolishing “dependency” that he spouted on the campaign trail.

Carson’s nomination is the second puzzling sign about where housing policy might be headed.

The first was Treasury Secretary-designate Steven Mnuchin’s comment that “we’ve got to get Fannie [Mae] and Freddie [Mac] out of government ownership.” That could mean Mr. Mnuchin will argue for a total overhaul of the government’s mortgage guarantee business that finally ends the system of private gain, public risk that prevailed before the government took over the failing Fannie and Fred in 2008. Or, it could be interpreted as support for the efforts, so far thwarted by courts and Congress, of hedge funds to make a killing through a Treasury-blessed “privatization.”

Certainly it would help if the next HUD secretary were an expert on the housing market capable of weighing in against the more dubious plans being floated for Fannie and Freddie.

Carson needs to be given a thorough, searching examination by the Senate over his approach to housing policy, which, although certainly not brain surgery, does present complexities that would challenge a nominee far more experienced than he.

ANOTHER VIEW

Wisconsin knows Betsy DeVos Michigan billionaire Betsy DeVos has sought for years to undermine public education as an advocate for irresponsible and discredited schemes to steer money away from the programs and the public school students that need them most.

She’s a special-interest power player who has used her money to warp the politics of Wisconsin and states across the country to advance an education agenda that is as unworkable as it is irresponsible. Now, President-elect Donald Trump wants to make DeVos his secretary of education.

Trump could not have chosen a worse nominee than DeVos, who American Federation of Teachers President Randy Weingarten identifies as “the most ideological, anti-public education nominee put forward since President Carter created a Cabinet-level Department of Education.” He also notes DeVos “has no meaningful experience in the classroom or in our schools.”

DeVos is a political operative, not a serious thinker regarding

education. She is playing politics in the ugliest and most irresponsible of ways.

A People for the American Way study explained how the DeVos political operation has used a family fortune to “create an intricate national network of nonprofits, political action committees and federal groups known as 527s that effectively fund the political arm of the school voucher movement.”

The DeVos operation has warped politics not just in Michigan but in Wisconsin. Gov. Scott Walker got $70,000 in direct contributions to his 2010 gubernatorial race from “choice” advocates.

But even more money was spent on “independent” campaigning by groups that poured hundreds of thousands of dollars into promoting Walker and his allies and attacking supporters of public education. All of this has made Betsy DeVos incredibly influential. But not in a good way.

One group with which DeVos has been associated, the political action committee All Children

Matter, was fined a record $5.2 million by the Ohio Elections Commission after it was charged with illegally shifting money into the state to support candidates considered friendly to private-school “choice” initiatives.

It also was fined for political misconduct in Wisconsin, where the secretive group’s 2006 campaigning violated campaign finance laws by expressly urging voters to cast ballots against legislative candidates who were strong backers of public education.

Those troubles led to the evolution of All Children Matter into the American Federation for Children, which has poured millions of dollars into Wisconsin election campaigns since 2010. That spending has played a critical role in keeping Walker and his allies in power. But it has not improved education in Wisconsin. In fact, the group One Wisconsin Now noted that “we have seen her school privatization playbook in action in Wisconsin, and the result is more failure and less accountability.”

VIEWS

save about $100 million a year, which more than explains why Chicago’s total spending on health care has not risen for five years. The cost to cover current employees has grown by 25 percent since 2011, but for these workers, Mayor Emanuel has introduced changes that should help contain that growth over time.

In 2015, for example, the city introduced incentives for employees to seek higher-value doctors and other health care providers and to buy generic drugs rather than more expensive branded versions. Chicago also redesigned its copayments to encourage people to see primary care physicians. And it created incentives for employees to obtain MRIs and other scans at independent facilities, which often charge less than hospitals do. Private-sector employers long since have taken many of these steps.

The effort to constrain cost growth and improve the value of health care is less like a test at school that is taken once and done, and more like

a diet – something that requires constant attention and effort. To continue its progress, Chicago will have to keep making changes. But the city is headed in the right direction.

Continued low growth in healthcare costs stands to provide the country as a whole with multiple benefits, from a smaller long-term fiscal gap to higher take-home pay. Success over the next few years will depend not only on what happens at the federal level, but also on whether businesses continue to push for higher-value health care for their employees. And it will require that other cities and states follow Chicago’s promising path.

Electoral College is an archaic system

To the Editor: In “It’s You’re Write” on Nov. 29, Thomas Fraser of Crystal Lake attempted to give us a civics lesson on the Electoral College. Mr. Fraser wrote the Founding Fathers created the Electoral College “so all the states would have a say in presidential elections.”

Wrong. The Electoral College was set up and direct election (popular vote) was rejected because the framers of the Constitution feared that without sufficient information from outside their state, people would vote for a “favorite son” from their own state or region. Consequently, citizens only voted for electors who were appointed by the individual state legislators.

The function of the College of Electors in choosing the president is similar to that of the Roman Catholic

Church and the College of Cardinals who select the Pope. The original idea was for the most knowledgeable and informed individuals from each state to select the president based solely on merit and without regard to state of origin or political party. Mr. Fraser is incorrect on his “facts” regarding why the Electoral College was formed.

He may be OK with that, since he supports Donald Trump, who never lets facts get in the way of his opinions either.

Today, information on all presidential candidates is readily available for voters. All other elected offices in this country are decided by the plurality of the votes cast. I advocate that each vote cast for president also should carry equal value and not be based on an archaic system originally designed 240 years ago.

It may not seem obvious from news reports, but health care costs in the U.S. have been growing remarkably slowly. Among the many forces that have caused the slowdown are efforts such as those by Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel to change how health care dollars are spent – a strategy other cities and states can learn from.

For the past five years, Chicago has kept its health care bill for employees and retirees roughly flat, at about $450 million a year. And reflected in this success are reforms that hold much promise for the future.

Retiree health care coverage is a substantial fiscal burden for states and cities across the U.S. In 2013, aggregate unfunded health care and related liabilities added up to more than $800 billion. That amounts to 20 percent to 30 percent of the state

and local pension shortfalls that have received much more attention.

States’ efforts to contain their retiree health-care liabilities, along with the slowdown in overall healthcare cost growth, pushed down costs by 10 percent from 2010 to 2013. Since 2013, though, these state liabilities have started to climb again.

Chicago’s have not. On the contrary, from 2013 to 2015, the cost of the city’s post-retirement health benefits fell by more than 20 percent.

A big reason for this is the city has been phasing out subsidies for employees who retired in August 1989 or later. While those who retired earlier will continue to receive subsidies for more than half the cost of their insurance premiums, the later retirees are being shifted into nonsubsidized Medicare and other plans. In addition, recent police and fire collective bargaining agreements include more premiums for retiree health care, to offset some of the city’s costs.

These changes are big enough to

Google to hit renewable energy goal

By MICHAEL LIEDTKE The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO – Google is crossing a milestone in its quest to reduce pollution caused by its digital services that devour massive amounts of electricity.

The internet company believes that beginning next year, it will have amassed enough renewable energy to meet all of its electricity needs throughout the world.

That’s significant, given Google’s ravenous appetite for electricity to power its offices and the huge data centers that process requests on its dominant search engine, store Gmail, YouTube video clips and photos for more than a billion people.

Google said its 13 data centers and offices consume about 5.7 terawatt hours of electricity annually – nearly the same amount as San Francisco, where more than 800,000 people live and tens of thousands of others come to work and visit.

The accomplishment, announced Tuesday, doesn’t mean Google will be able to power its operations solely on wind and solar power. That’s not possible because of the complicated way that power grids and regulations are set up around the U.S. and the rest of the world.

Google instead believes it is now in a position to offset every megawatt hour of electricity supplied by a power plant running on fossil fuels with renewable

Windmills are seen at a wind farm in Minco, Okla., which provides Google with some of its renewable energy. Google said it believes that beginning in 2017 it will have amassed enough renewable energy to meet all of its electricity needs throughout the world. energy that the Mountain View, California, company has purchased through a variety of contracts. About 95 percent of Google’s renewable energy deals come from wind power farms, with the remainder from solar power.

Nearly 20 other technology companies also have pledged to secure enough

renewable energy to power their worldwide operations, said Gary Cook, senior energy campaigner for the environmental group Greenpeace.

Google made its commitment four years ago and appears to be the first big company to have fulfilled the promise.

Apple is getting close to matching

its rival. The iPhone maker said it has secured enough renewable energy to power about 93 percent of its worldwide operations. Apple is also trying to convert more of the overseas suppliers that manufacture the iPhone and other devices to renewable energy sources, but that goal is expected take years to reach.

Cook said the symbolic message sent

by Google’s achievement is important to environmental experts who believe electricity generated with coal and natural gas is causing damage that contributes to extreme swings in the climate.

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump dismissed the need for climate control during his campaign for office, and he has pledged to undo a number of regulations to protect the environment.

“More than ever, companies must show this sort of leadership on renewable energy,” Cook said Tuesday. “Now is not the time to be silent.”

Google still hopes to work with power utilities and regulators around the world to make it possible for all of its renewable energy to be directly piped into its offices and data centers around the clock.

For now, Google sells its supply of renewable energy to other electricity grids whenever it isn’t possible for its own operations to use the power.

Google Inc. declined to disclose how much it has spent on its stockpile of renewable energy or the size of its annual electricity bill.

Taylor Kinney attends the 33rd annual Paleyfest: “An Evening With Dick Wolf” held March 19 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.

Taylor Kinney helps ‘Chicago Fire’ celebrate 100th episode NEW YORK – NBC’s “Chicago Fire,” about firefighters and EMTs at the Chicago Fire Department, took a beat to find its footing, but is now the tent pole of a growing Dick Wolf franchise that includes “Chicago P.D.,” “Chicago Med” and the upcoming “Chicago Justice.”

Taylor Kinney, who plays Lt. Kelly Severide, helped the series mark its 100th episode, which aired Tuesday.

“It took a while to get a sustainable [ratings] number where we were like, ‘OK, we’re in the clear. We’re good,’ ” he said.

Kinney, 35, is especially proud of how “Chicago Fire” has led the way for more TV and film production in the windy city.

“Now there’s ‘Empire’ (on Fox), the four ‘Chicago’ shows, ‘Exorcist’ (also on Fox). It’s just done so much for the city and I think maybe for a long time it was underrated as a backdrop or a place to tell stories, but there’s no lack of cinematography of where you can shoot and how to use the city. ... I couldn’t count how many people locally it employs,” he said.

Shooting on location also helped members of the cast, which includes Jesse Spencer, Monica Raymund and Eamonn Walker, bond together.

“It created this familial atmosphere. We were forced to hang out and do things the first season whereas if you do something in LA or New York, it’s more of a work environment,” he said. “... We didn’t know anyone. I didn’t know anyone, maybe one or two people, but you spend time with these people. Someone’s like, ‘I’m gonna have dinner’ or ‘I’m gonna have a poker night,’ and then it happened where we all just kind of enjoy each other’s company.”

BOSTON – Minnie Driver, John Cho and Oliver Platt are among 14 Hollywood stars participating in a new Oxfam America program launched Tuesday that’s meant to inspire people to help refugees.

The “I Hear You” campaign launched Tuesday by the Boston-based charity features videos of the actors, many of them close to tears, reading the firsthand stories of refugees aloud.

The refugees express their desires for normalcy, peace, a permanent home, an education and a job. They also talk about the things they miss, including neighborhood cookouts and trips to the amusement park, and articulate the grief they feel for long-lost friends and relatives.

There are currently more than 65 million people in the world who have been forced from their homes by war, disaster, poverty, inequality and the effects of climate change, the most since World War II, according to Oxfam.

Father of slain Tejano icon Selena sues to stop TV series CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas – The father of slain Tejano star Selena has filed a lawsuit to stop production of a television series based on what he calls an unauthorized book by the singer’s widower, Chris Perez.

Abraham Quintanilla filed the lawsuit Friday in Nueces County District Court against Perez, Blue Mariachi Productions LLC, and the production company Endemol

Shine North America. Endemol announced last month that it planned to adapt Perez’s 2012 memoir, “To Selena with Love,” into a TV series.

The lawsuit, posted on the Corpus Christi Caller-Times website, seeks to stop the production, alleging Perez signed a contract giving all rights to exploit the singer’s likeness and name to her estate in exchange for 25 percent of the profits.

Selena Quintanilla-Perez was fatally shot by her fan club’s president in 1995.

Tracy Morgan, Chris Rock, Seinfeld to star in benefit

“I was once one of those kids,” Morgan said this week. “So I’ve been blessed and very fortunate to have the opportunities that I’ve had in my life. I just want to give back and this is the perfect way to do that.”

Morgan is one of six comedians set to take the stage for the Garden of Dreams Foundation event on March 28 at The Theater at Madison Square Garden. He’ll be joined

Health goals missed despite government push

By MIKE STOBBE The Associated Press NEW YORK – Progress in the U.S. against obesity, food poisoning and infections spread in hospitals has been uneven and disappointing, despite dedicated efforts to fight these health threats by the nation’s top public health agency.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a frank self-assessment Monday of its campaign to focus on certain health problems, an effort it called “winnable battles.”

While there have been clear successes in areas such as smoking and teen pregnancy, other areas have seen little change or even gotten worse.

Particularly disappointing is the battle against childhood obesity, said Dr. Tom Frieden, the CDC’s director.

“The data speak for themselves,” Frieden said of the obesity statistics.

“If you look for the goal we set for ourselves, and look at what happened, we didn’t achieve it.”

Frieden set a list of priorities he called “winnable battles” shortly after he was named to lead the CDC in 2009.

The list included smoking, AIDS, obesity and nutrition, teen pregnancy, auto injuries and health care infections. It later grew to include food poisoning.

On Monday, the agency released what it described as its third and final report card on the campaign. Frieden is expected to leave office next month, as the Trump administration takes control of federal agencies and appoints its own administrators.

The most clear-cut progress was in cigarette smoking and teen pregnancy. Last year, national goals were met for reducing adult smoking by more than 17 percent, and youth smoking by 12 percent. The goal of cutting the teen birth rate by 20 percent also was met.

Critics argued those were relatively easy goals – smoking and teen pregnancy rates already were trending down before Frieden arrived. But Frieden argued the goals his agency

set were ambitious and never assured.

Another goal once considered within easy reach was the reduction of car crash deaths by 31 percent by 2015. Earlier in this decade those deaths were plummeting and the goal seemed well within reach. But crash deaths only fell 21 percent because of a recent uptick, which many attribute to distracted driving.

The report card also found: • Disappointing results in meeting two food safety goals. Rates of illness from harmful E. coli bacteria dropped, but didn’t reach the goal of a 29 percent reduction goal. And illness rates from salmonella increased.

• Mixed progress on cutting down infections spread in hospitals and medical clinics. Three kinds of infections declined. They haven’t yet hit target levels, but there’s some hope they will when more data are available. And rates for certain urinary tract infections didn’t fall at all.

• Inability to reduce the number of new HIV cases by 25 percent. The

number of new cases fell by 18 percent.

• Failure to reduce obesity rates for toddlers and older children. Instead, the rate grew slightly, to more than 17 percent.

Despite the mixed grades in the CDC’s report card on itself, some experts applauded CDC efforts, saying the agency had only limited abilities to prevent illness or stop people from doing things that hurt their own health.

“I think, to CDC’s credit, they picked a broad range of public health challenges and they set the bar high enough that they could not automatically declare success at the end of an administration,” said Jeff Levi, a George Washington University professor of health management and policy.

The Atlanta-based CDC has an annual budget of more than $13 billion and a staff of more than 15,000. Much of its funding is distributed to state and local health departments, and many of them follow the CDC’s agenda-setting lead.

NEW YORK – The long decline in HIV infections among white people who inject drugs has stalled, another grim side effect of the nation’s drug abuse epidemic.

Health officials released the news as part of a call for more use of needle exchange programs.

“We really risk stalling or reversing decades of progress on HIV transmission,” said Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The report comes as the nation is facing an ongoing epidemic of opioid and heroin use that has led to an increase in drug overdose deaths, particularly among white people. The increase in drug abuse also is hampering efforts to slow diseases carried in the blood that can be spread when injection drug users share needles.

The CDC previously reported a rise in new hepatitis C infections, which is tied largely to injection drugs.

Most cases of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, are transmitted through sex – only about one in 11 HIV infections diagnosed each year are among

Until recently, HIV cases in injection drug users had been falling for all racial groups. Cases still are falling in blacks and Hispanics. But for whites they stopped falling in 2012.

In 2014, for the first time, a larger number of white injecting drug users were diagnosed with HIV than injection drug users in any other racial or ethnic group. Traditionally, far more cases were seen in urban blacks.

At least part of the reason is white injection drug users often are younger and more likely to share needles, according to a 22-city CDC study of people who inject drugs. Nearly half of white injection drug users shared needles with other addicts in 2015, compared with a third of Hispanics and a fifth of blacks.

34 Moderate alcohol use benefits women Dear Readers: Welcome to 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’ve already met my colleagues Dr. Eve Glazier and Dr. Elizabeth Ko 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 people can use to direct their own health.

Dear Doctor: I enjoy a nice glass of wine at the end of the day, but I’ve heard various reports about its health risks. So, tell me: In women, does alcohol increase or decrease the chances of premature death?

Dear Reader: It depends on the amount.

The most definitive study on this topic was done in 1995. It looked at more than

ASK THE DOCTORS Robert Ashley 85,000 women, ages 34 to 59, and followed them for 12 years. That research found having one drink (2 units of alcohol) every three to four days was linked to a significant decrease – 17 percent – in death during the course of the study. One drink a day was linked to an 11 percent decrease in death rates. However, more than one drink a day increased death rates, compared to no alcohol at all.

For women, the greatest benefits of alcohol were in the link to reductions of stroke and heart attacks. Yet, as women increase their alcohol intake, the risk of cancer increases. In this study, there was a significant correlation between having two or more drinks a day and breast cancer.

In short, alcohol does have benefits when it comes to lifespan, but those benefits vanish when a woman has two or more drinks a day.

DEAR ABBY husband of five years has conJeanne fessed to affairs Phillips that resulted in two children. I suspected something was up when after a year of marriage he seemed distant. Despite our almost 15-year age difference, I never in a million years thought he would do something like this.

A few months ago, he started disappearing again. At first it was a day here and a day there, but then it became weeks. I finally confronted him, and he confessed about the affairs. He claims the mother of the newborn is a prostitute and it was a “mistake.” He wants to be involved in the 3-year-old little girl’s life, but not the newborn’s. I told him he needed to leave and remove his belongings from the house.

My friends say legally I can’t put him out of a house he owned before we were married. However, he did buy a home during our marriage.

(I found that out accidentally.) It’s where the 3-year-old lives.

I feel I am entitled to something. I asked him to have the older child’s mother move, but he refused. Where does that leave me? With nothing?

I don’t know what to do. I don’t have money for a lawyer and have nowhere to go. Please advise.

– What A Mess In Philadelphia Dear What A Mess: Your friends mean well, but you need a more informed source of information than they can offer. Because divorce laws vary from state to state, go online to www. womenslaw.org and search for “divorce in Pennsylvania.” You will find basic information about divorce laws in your state, which I think you will find both interesting and rewarding.

Dear Abby: I’m a woman, twice married. My first marriage was to a woman who hurt me deeply by lying and cheating. I now am married to a man who, even with his faults, is a wonderful husband.

My thing is, I still am strongly attracted to women. I consider myself to be bisexual. When my husband notices I look at women, I’m honest and tell him what I admire about a particular woman.

NORTHWEST HERALD GIRLS SWIMMER OF THE YEAR

Crash, smash & flash Tarazi breaks records, wins state medals and survives a car accident in eventful season for Prairie Ridge junior

Great school & home visit for @DaltonWagner77 from @BretBielema & @OLINEPRIDE today! #GDTBAR #WPS @ArRecruitingGuy – @RBCHSFootball

By JOHN WILKINSON jwilkinson@shawmedia.com For the third year in a row, Prairie Ridge junior Valerie Tarazi ended her season with a pair of state medals.

Although Tarazi couldn’t repeat as a state champion in the 200-yard breaststroke, she finished in the top six in both of her events and had the best showing of any local swimmer.

Throughout the season, Tarazi, who swims for the Crystal Lake co-op team, broke a number of event records or reset her own; she won two titles at Fox Valley Conference meet and was named co-MVP; she won two sectional championships to qualify for her third trip to state.

At the state meet, Tarazi finished second in the 100 breaststroke with a time of 1:02.9, and sixth in the 200 individual medley with a time of 2:05.59. Her prelim time in the breaststroke (1:01.9) was a lifetime best and briefly broke the pool record.

For her accomplishments, Tarazi was named the Northwest Herald’s Girls Swimmer of the Year. It is her third consecutive year winning the award.

She recently spoke with the paper about a car accident that nearly made her late to the state prelims, missing Thanksgiving dinner and more.

Best of luck to Jake (Goebbert) as he gets about 3 weeks in with Los toros del este (@TorosdelEste) this winter.

What to watch NBA: Golden State at L.A. Clippers, ESPN Klay Thompson said he could have scored 80 points against the Pacers on Monday night. He finished with 60 in three quarters in the Warriors’ 142-106 victory.

Thompson and the Warriors are back at it against the Clippers.

What was something you tried to improve on this year that made you successful?

Tarazi: It was probably my men-

tality. I went into practice every single day thinking that it was going to be, like my coach would say, ‘It’s a gold-medal day.’ So you have to act like you’re going to go out there and race as hard as you can every day at practice, and you’ve just got to be mentally focused. That’s probably what I changed this year compared to last year.

That is down from $370,069 for last year’s Kansas City Royals and a record $388,606 for the 2014 San Francisco Giants.

GIRLS BASKETBALL: HUNTLEY 44, CARY-GROVE 28

Guard’s 3 treys in 2nd quarter ignites Huntley in FVC win

By TIM SIECK sports@nwherald.com

q UNSUNG HERO

Missy Moffett Huntley, so., G

Moffett hit three 3-pointers in the second quarter to help put the Red Raiders ahead for good.

q THE NUMBER

12

Fourth-quarter points for Morgan Clausen, who scored only three in the first three quarters

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

Cary-Grove entered Tuesday’s game at 3-0 in Fox Valley Conference play, which was its best start since 2011-12, when the Trojans started 5-0 in conference. The Trojans’ first conference loss that season also was to Huntley.

Moffett hit three 3-pointers on three attempts in the second quarter to help propel Huntley to a 44-28 victory over Cary-Grove in a Fox Valley Conference matchup at Huntley High School.

“That first shot felt so natural and I knew it would go in,” Moffett said. “We had other players drive to the basket, which helped me get open, and I was able to hit some shots.”

Huntley (3-3, 2-0 FVC) was able to turn a four-point deficit in the first quarter to a five-point lead at halftime and a six-point lead after three quarters. Although Huntley held the lead after three quarters, leading-scorer Morgan Clausen struggled to get anything going in the first three quarters.

Clausen was 0 for 12 and had only three points from the foul line. But Clausen wouldn’t be held in check the entire night, as the senior scored 12 points in the fourth quarter on 4-for-4 shooting and helped blow open what had been a close game. Huntley scored 21 points in the final quarter on 70 percent shooting.

“They played some tough defense early and I rushed a lot of shots,” Clausen said. “I made some better post moves in the fourth quarter and the shots started to fall. I really got in the

flow in the fourth quarter and was a lot more confident.”

Clausen finished with 15 points and 10 rebounds to lead Huntley. Abbey Brown added 10 points, while Moffett finished with nine.

“Cary-Grove did a nice job early with their pressure,” Huntley coach Steve Raethz said. “Missy really stepped up with her three 3-pointers, and Abbey hit some shots, as well. Having three scorers was nice. I really like how we defended the last two games, and that is what we will need to do to win in this conference.”

Cary-Grove (4-5,3-1) started quickly Tuesday, but struggled to get much going after the first quarter. The Trojans made only one basket in the second and third quarters and shot just 25 percent for the game. Sowa led the Trojans with 14 points.

“We went away from the script today. It was as simple as that,” Trojans coach Rod Saffert said. “We took some silly shots, and just didn’t do what we do.”

ALDEN-HEBRON FOOTBALL

Lalor to pitch 8-man football to IHSA Giants to play 8-on-8 next season no matter what IHSA decides

By SEAN HAMMOND shammond@shawmedia.com On John Lalor’s PowerPoint presentation is a map of Illinois with dots marking every high school that has expressed interest in playing 8-on-8 football within the next three years.

In all, more than 40 schools responded positively to Lalor’s surveys.

These schools are struggling to find enough players for 11-on-11 football.

There is a cluster of schools in the northern part of the state, and another cluster in the central and western parts, with others here and there.

Lalor will make his case for eight-player football to the IHSA football advisory committee Wednesday in Bloomington. Lalor wants 8-on-8 football to be recognized by the IHSA, as it is in 17 other states.

Eight-player offenses typically have two fewer offensive lineman and one fewer receiver, tight end or

running back. Defenses typically use three linemen and a combination of five linebackers and defensive backs.

Lalor’s vision is for there someday to be an IHSA state tournament for eight-player football, although he’d be happy if the IHSA simply recognized it as an emerging sport.

“They (the IHSA) know that there’s a need for it,” Lalor said. “It was just a matter of time until someone finally said, ‘We’ve got to do this to save the small schools.’

“I guess I’m a pretty good guy for that, being that I’ve been coaching a small team for a lot of years.”

Lalor has coached the Giants for 14 seasons and has reached the IHSA Class 1A playoffs in 12 of those seasons. Whether or not anything comes of the meeting, Alden-Hebron has committed to playing eight-player football next season.

Alden-Hebron, North Shore Country Day, Westminster Christian and Rockford Christian Life already are in the process of creating a home-andaway conference schedule that leaves room for three nonconference games.

“We all struggle to try to keep the programs alive,” Lalor said. “We’re all in the same boat.”

‘A MORE MANAGEABLE LEVEL OF COMPETITION’

Perry Dunlap Smith had a vision for North Shore Country Day in Winnetka, and it included football. Smith, who played lineman at Harvard, founded the school in 1919 and made athletics mandatory. In the fall, that meant football for the boys.

“Tackle football was required for all boys, and it was required here up until maybe about the 1970s,” North Shore athletic director Patrick McHugh said.

A few years ago, declining participation put McHugh – now in his 23rd year as AD – and the school in a conundrum. Could a school with a football history dating to its founding eliminate the sport?

After the 2014 season, the school organized a committee to discuss its future in football. During this time, McHugh started researching eight-player football in Wisconsin. He presented his findings to the committee and reached out to representatives of Wisconsin’s Great 8 Conference to ask whether they would let in an Illinois school.

Their response?

“Sure, come to our meeting in

Green Bay,” McHugh recalled. “I asked my boss if it was really worth me driving up to Green Bay, and he said, ‘Yes.’ ” Thus, North Shore became an eight-player football participant in Wisconsin. The players and parents were receptive to the idea.

“It’s been a more manageable level of competition,” McHugh said. “As an athletic director, obviously, you want to win games. But you just want to give your kids competitive opportunities.

“We’ve had 16 to 18 kids out, and that would not be doable for us in 11man.”

McHugh will join Lalor on Wednesday in Bloomington. North Shore might be the only school in the state with experience playing a full season – now two full seasons – of 8-on-8 football.

“It amazed me when I started looking into it,” McHugh said. “Wisconsin has been doing eight-man; Iowa has been doing eight-man forever. There were so many states around us that were doing eight-man, and Illinois wasn’t.”

HUNTLEY – Things couldn’t have started much worse Tuesday for Huntley.

The Red Raiders girls basketball team turned the ball over on its first three possessions, and made only one shot on nine attempts in the first quarter. Huntley also struggled to stop Cary-Grove leading scorer Katie Sowa, who scored eight points in the opening quarter.

Despite the slow start, Huntley found itself down only four points, and needed someone to step up on offense to give the Red Raiders that needed spark. On this night, it was sophomore Missy Moffett.

4 GIRLS BASKETBALL: JOHNSBURG 40, RICHMOND-BURTON 25

Skyhawks clean up glass for win

By ALEX KANTECKI

OUTSIDE THE BOX SCORE

akantecki@shawmedia.com RICHMOND – Johnsburg girls basketball coach Brad Frey estimated that Megan and Morgan Madsen had “somewhere between two and 100 rebounds” against Richmond-Burton.

In actuality, the sophomore twin sisters hauled in a combined 27 rebounds, but who’s counting?

With both offenses struggling to find the basket early, Johnsburg used a decisive advantage on the glass and a stifling zone defense Tuesday to frustrate R-B en route to a 40-25 Kishwaukee River Conference victory.

Megan Madsen secured a game-high 15 rebounds, Morgan Madsen had 12 rebounds and 6-foot junior forward Kayla Stefka added 10 rebounds for the Skyhawks, who moved to 6-3 overall and 3-0 in the KRC with the win.

Johnsburg outrebounded R-B, 48-30, and held the Rockets (2-4, 0-2 KRC) to five points in the first half on 2-of-19 shooting.

R-B finished 7 of 44 (16 percent) from the field, while Johnsburg was 13 of 50 (26 percent).

“It seemed like Morgan and Megan got their hand on every ball, and if they didn’t, Kayla was right there,” Frey said. “It’s a good thing to have.

“If you come to play every day like Morgan and Megan Madsen and Kayla Stefka, you’re going to find yourself in the ball game. They got loose balls, they got steals, the played good defense. We always have a chance with those three out there; they’re just workhorses.”

Morgan Madsen and Aannah Interrante led Johnsburg with 10 points apiece, Megan Madsen had nine points on 9-of-12 shooting from the free-throw line, and Stefka added six points and four blocked shots.

All 10 of Interrante’s points came in the fourth quarter, while Morgan

Stefka provided a little bit of everything for Johnsburg, scoring six points with 10 rebounds and four blocked shots. Earlier this year, the 6-foot forward swatted away six shots in a win against Marengo.

q THE NUMBER Rebounding advantage for Johnsburg

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

In practice, Johnsburg’s Stefka, Megan Madsen and Morgan Madsen provide extra motivation for performance. “We always say, ‘Whoever gets the rebound, gets a candy bar,’ ” Stefka said. Megan Madsen led the Skyhawks with 15 rebounds Tuesday. “She’ll probably get it,” Stefka said.

Johnsburg’s Morgan Madsen (left) and Megan Madsen pressure Richmond-Burton’s Mackenzie Hahn in the second quarter of Tuesday night’s game at Richmond-Burton High School in Richmond. The Skyhawks won, 40-25.

Madsen scored six of her game-high 10 points in a critical stretch at the start of the second.

Johnsburg was held to only seven points in the first quarter, but started the second on a 10-2 run. Cortland Sommerfeldt added four points and two assists during the stretch as Johnsburg

led, 19-5, at half.

“We played our hardest and with heart, and I think the outcome showed it,” Megan Madsen said. “I just come and play the hardest I can every game.

It’s always good to win in conference.

We’ve just got to keep it going now.”

Richmond-Burton found more suc-

cess on offense in the second half, but Johnsburg still outscored the Rockets, 21-20.

Mackenzie Hahn led the Rockets with six points, Anna Vlasak had five points and a 3-pointer, and Brittney Olson added four points off the bench.

The Rockets also struggled at the line in the first half, going 1 of 12. In the second half, they went 8 of 12.

R-B has lost four straight after a 2-0 start.

“Our strength is more our quickness and our ability to penetrate, and it’s harder to do that against a zone,” Rockets coach Todd Severns said. “The big takeaway is we have never quit in the three years I’ve been here, and we played a much better second half tonight.

“We’re struggling to score, but it’s not for lack of execution. It’s just more finishing, and usually you get better at that as the season progresses.”

PREP ROUNDUP

Volkening scores a career-high 39 in defeat NORTHWEST HERALD Marengo’s Michael Volkening had the third-best scoring night in school history Tuesday with a career-high 39 points (two shy of the single-game scoring record), but it wasn’t enough as the Indians boys basketball team lost, 6462, to Rockford Christian in a nonconference road game.

Marengo needed a late surge to be in the game at all. The Indians fell behind

by as many as 13 points in the third quarter, but rallied to take the lead with a minute left in the contest. After Rockford Christian retook the lead, the Indians couldn’t score, had to foul and saw a potentially game-winning 3-pointer miss at the buzzer.

Volkening did a lot of his work during the comeback, scoring 20 points in the fourth quarter. He finished with 14 field goals, four of them 3s, and went 7 for 9 at the line. Jake LaSota hit a pair

of 3s to finish with six points, while Carter Olson added six, as well, and Blaine Bohart scored five for the Indians (4-1).

North Boone 48, Harvard 45: At Harvard, Eric McDowell scored 19 points to lead the Hornets in a nonconference loss. Roy Amaya Jr. added seven points, and Miguel Valadez chipped in six.

Lake Geneva Badger 58, Woodstock 50:

At Woodstock, the Blue Streaks lost a

nonconference game to the Badgers.

GIRLS BASKETBALL McHenry 63, Crystal Lake Central 44:

At Crystal Lake, McHenry’s Liz Alsot scored 20 points and grabbed 16 rebounds to lead the Warriors in a Fox Valley Conference win over Crystal Lake Central. Alsot made six field goals and was 8 of 9 from the free-throw line.

Tarazi: I’m definitely

always on a schedule. There is time for everything, and if there isn’t time, you have to make time. I have my schedule very planned out every day. I wake up in the morning, I go to swim practice, I go to Starbucks, I go to school, I get home from school, I go to Davis (Speed Center training facility in

In that case, what are you looking forward to doing after Junior Nationals?

Crystal Lake), I go to swim practice, I come home and I do my homework and I’m sleeping by 10 o’clock every night. There’s a very strict schedule in my life. And my dad has planned out what I need to eat every day, which is really helpful.

Do you have a favorite pre- or postrace meal?

Tarazi: Oh, yeah, of course.

Before every meet, I go to Kyoto, and the night before my races and I have sushi.

And I have to have it; I’ve had it ever since I was probably 10 years old, and I had it before I won my first state championship when I was 12, and ever since then, I just have to go there.

Although it seemed like most people had variations of black suits, you wore a bright green suit at state, is there a reason for that?

Tarazi: Well, I’ve always

liked the colors. I’ve always had colored suits. I’ve had green for a few years now, and I know a lot of people don’t have it. I was actually going to switch this year, but my dad was like, ‘I can’t find you, you need a bright color.’ So I switched to green. No pink, because pink ripped twice my

freshman year, so no pink.

I’m never having a pink suit again.

Do you have any favorite pets or animals?

Tarazi: I don’t have a favor-

ite pet, but my favorite animal is an elephant. I always have my elephant (stuffed animal) on the podium with me, my friend got me another elephant, so I could carry it on the podium with me, which was a different one, and then yesterday I actually came out of swim practice and I opened the car door and there was this huge (stuffed) elephant that my grandma bought me because I did well at state. It was taking up like half the backseat, it was huge. So elephants are my thing.

What’s your favorite subject in school?

Tarazi: Probably math. I’m

more math and science, I like having a certain way to do stuff.

If you weren’t going to be a swimmer, is there another sport you wish you were good at?

Tarazi: Well, I played

baseball for seven years and softball for three years. I was on a team that actually got

time in probably four years, I’m taking a three-week break. I’m just going to relax. I’m going to still train at Davis because I love lifting – I wish I was a bodybuilder, but my parents won’t let me – but I’m just going to relax and enjoy being a kid.

Right after that, I’m going to Hawaii and I’m going on a training trip, so I’m going to ramp up my training right after that.

Which one of your teammates makes you laugh the most?

Tarazi: That’s hard. I’d

probably have to say Jamie Gindorf. I just look at her and I start laughing. We have a really good relationship.

What’s your dream car?

Tarazi: It’s a Hummer, and

I actually drive a Hummer, so I’m really happy about that.

What’s the best piece of advice or coaching you ever have received?

Tarazi: I remember this

specifically, it was right before I got my Olympic Trials cut time and I missed it nine times. My coach came up right before, I was standing behind the blocks, and he looks at me and goes, ‘Val, you’ve done all the work.

You have to believe in yourself, that is the only thing separating you. You have to believe in yourself.’ Then he hit me on the head with his rolled up piece of paper and said, ‘Go out there and do it.’

And that was probably the best thing he’s ever said to

You’ve competed in a few different events, what is it about breaststroke that makes it your preferred race?

Tarazi: I actually always

hated breaststroke because I was really bad at it. Once I figured out – it’s a very technical stroke, which I like – so it’s not always about who has the fastest turnover, fastest tempo or strongest kick, it’s very timing-based and it’s very technique-based.

You can also improve on it, I think that’s what I really like.

What’s your favorite place you’ve ever swam?

Tarazi: It’s a private

school in Hawaii, and I train with them about a week out of the year. It’s called Punahou. It’s on the island of Oahu, and it’s the most beautiful pool in the entire world.

How did you end up training there?

Tarazi: Well, we always

go to Hawaii in the end of January, early February. I was probably like 10 years old and my coach, he was like, ‘You’re not allowed to go on vacation.’ I’m like, ‘Well, my family is going on vacation, I have to go,’ and he’s like, ‘Well you have to swim while you’re there.’

I was like, ‘Swimming on vacation?’ But I ended up swimming there and he got me in contact with a random team, and now a lot girls on the team are good friends of mine, so I really love swimming there.

You’ve swam in a lot of big events, do you still get butterflies before races?

Tarazi: Normally I don’t,

but this year there was something about that 200 IM (at state). I was actually sitting there behind the blocks texting my coach that I’m nervous, and he knew then and there – he didn’t tell me this, but he told me after – he knew I wasn’t going to win that race because I was so nervous. And I’m not really sure why I was, but it happens.

Swimmers have their headphones on basically right up until the race, what do you listen to before you swim?

Tarazi: I always listen to

the same song, ever since I was 12 or 13 years old, I listen to “We Can’t Stop” by Miley Cyrus.

to warmups anyway because I planned to be there at a certain time, and I had my whole schedule planned out just so I wouldn’t have any hiccups, I knew when I was going to put my Fastskin on, when I was going to eat, when I was going to warm up. We were already running a little late because we stopped and got lunch later than we should have. We were sitting at a stoplight and I was sitting in the passenger’s side front seat and it was raining really hard.

The car apparently couldn’t stop and like rear-ended us, and like slid down the passenger side. So the car was all trashed, and my mom was in the backseat. She was like, ‘Val, are you OK?’ and I’m like, ‘Yeah, I’m fine. I need to get to the pool, I need to warm up.’ The car wasn’t able to drive, so my dad actually called me an Uber, and I rode to the pool by myself, and I got there and (coach) Wozny had my pass and we hurried up and I got in the pool and warmed up.

Like I say, it can’t be a state meet without chaos.

SPORTS BRIEF Former Bears RB, Heisman winner Salaam found dead in Colo. park Former Bears running back and Heisman Trophy winner Rashaan Salaam was found dead Monday night in a Boulder park less than two miles from Folsom Field, where he carved his name into the University of Colorado record books as one of the greatest players in the program’s history.

The Boulder County coroner’s office was still investigating the cause of the death

of the 42-year-old Salaam, who won the Heisman in 1994. The body of the one-time running back was found at Eben G. Fine Park in Boulder. Police said foul play was not suspected.

Salaam’s mother, Khalada, told USA TODAY Sports on Tuesday that police said they suspect he killed himself. “They said they found a note and would share that with us when we get there,” Salaam’s mother said.

• EIGHT-MAN FOOTBALL Continued from page 3

One reason could be co-operative teams in rural places. The IHSA lists more than 50 co-op football teams across the state.

“In certain parts of the state that really works,” McHugh said.

Lalor believes allowing eight-player football would limit some of the logistics for struggling co-ops.

“If they could play eight-man football, the schools could get their own identities back and get their own little programs instead of carting a kid 40 miles every night to go to football practice,” Lalor said.

The IHSA football advisory committee consists of eight coaches and administrators from across the state.

Ultimately, it will be up to those eight representatives to decide what to do with Lalor’s proposal.

‘WE’D RATHER PLAY SOMETHING THAN NOTHING’

Alden-Hebron finished the 2016 season 3-6, including a forfeit win over Christian Life in Week 1. That day, the teams decided to play 8-on-8 even though it would go down as an 11-on-11 forfeit win for the Giants (Christian Life forfeited all eight of its games because of low numbers).

said before Tuesday’s game against the Arizona Coyotes. “So, we’ve got to do a better job of getting to the net. We’ve got to do a better job of putting the puck into areas and keeping the puck, so we’re making them defend. When we put the puck in (the offensive zone), it seems like it’s a dead end … and we don’t give ourselves a chance to get the next puck.”

The Hawks found their way to the net Tuesday, and as a result, cruised Mason Mindham said. “It’s a little bit harder because it’s more field for everybody, a lot more room to cover.”

Still, the Giants played a game.

Before the season finale, Lalor told his players they were playing 8-on-8 next year. With only 20 players on the roster this year, it was impossible to scrimmage in practice.

“Very rarely we’ll go full offense,” Mindham said. “Most of the time we’ll have to take half of our line and have the other half of the line play defense just so we can get a look. Our first full look basically comes on the very first drive (of a game).”

Lalor said he has heard plenty of coaches knock eight-player football.

He’s not listening.

Rashaan Salaam, who died Monday at 42, won the 1994 Heisman Trophy at Colorado after playing 8-on-8 football in high school in California. Three of the Iowa Hawkeyes’ defensive linemen played 8-on-8 football in high school.

“Good kids are going to stand out, whether they’re playing eight-man or 11-man,” Lalor said. “College coaches will find them.”

For Mindham, it’s enough knowing he still will put on pads and a helmet one more year.

“Most of us just want to go out an play football,” Mindham said. “Not being able to field an 11-man (team), eight-man is the next best thing. For our seniors, we’d rather play something than nothing.”

do much to slow the Hawks. Despite being outshot in 21 of the 28 first periods this season, they’ve outscored opponents, 23-19, in those periods. And sure enough, the Hawks led 1-0 after the first Tuesday thanks to Artem Anisimov’s power-play goal. Anisimov planted himself in front of the Arizona net and redirected a perfect Patrick Kane pass past goalie Mike Smith for the goal.

It was exactly the kind of goal Anisimov said the Hawks needed earlier in the day.

“Play a little simpler,” he said. “Go to the net. Score ugly ones. A couple ugly ones, from redirects or screening the goalie. Just go to the net hard and create chances.”

The Hawks continued to do that in the second period, generating far more shots and far more chances. At 6:26 of the second, Hossa charged the net and kicked a Ryan Hartman saucer pass to his own stick before sneaking the puck past Smith on the short side.

Hossa added his 14th goal late in the third period. He had only 13 all of last season.

CHICAGO – Every time the Blackhawks’ offense goes dormant, the proposed solution always is the same.

Keep it simple. Go to the net. Score an ugly goal or two.

It’s easier said than done, and the Hawks have had trouble getting anywhere near the net in a number of recent games – opponents hemming them in along the boards and keeping them out Marian Hossa of the high-danger area in the slot. The result has been an alarming goal drought in which the Hawks scored two or fewer goals in six of their past eight games, exacerbated by a power play that had four goals in its past 48 chances, dating all the way to Nov. 1.

“If you’re on the outside, you’re getting boxed out and not getting a netfront presence, the goalie’s seeing the puck and you’re not going to score in our league,” coach Joel Quenneville

to a 4-0 victory. Marian Hossa had two goals and Scott Darling made 22 saves for the shutout.

Playing the woeful Coyotes – losers of five straight – certainly helped.

But the win was tempered by yet another injury to a star player. With Jonathan Toews (back) and Corey Crawford (appendectomy) already out, the Hawks lost stalwart defenseman Brent Seabrook in the second period after he was tripped up by Arizona’s Jordan Martinook. Seabrook was slow to get up and skated off the dressing room.

He didn’t return.

It wasn’t quite a dominant performance, but it certainly was a lot better than their past two games, uninspired losses to the Philadelphia Flyers and Winnipeg Jets. Arizona had given up an obscene number of shots on goal lately – 42 or more in five of their past nine games, including a staggering 60 Saturday night against Columbus. Yet the Hawks managed only five in the first period and 27 overall.

But keeping in line with the theme of the season, the slow start didn’t

Sox’s rebuild off to roaring start

The wrecking ball took a mighty swing Tuesday.

The White Sox firmly announced their intention of a teardown and a rebuild by trading ace Chris Sale to the Red Sox for second baseman Yoan Moncada, one of the top prospects in baseball, and VIEWS 20-year-old Rick pitcher Morrissey Michael Kopech, whose fastball has been clocked at 105 mph. Two other Boston prospects are included in the deal.

Good for the Sox. Now let’s see if they know anything about new construction.

And good for Sale, who goes to a franchise that has figured out how to win regularly and not, say, once every 88 years. Now let’s see whether the Red Sox’s uniforms are up to his keen fashion sense.

The Sale trade should be the first of many swings for the Sox, who need to remove all rubble and build from the ground up. They went the veteran route after winning a World Series in 2005, and they went nowhere. If Sale, who finished in the top six in American League Cy Young Award voting each of the past five seasons, can be traded, anybody can be traded. And should be traded. Jose Quintana, Todd Frazier, Jose Abreu, Adam Eaton – anybody and everybody. The Sox are open for business.

“We’re definitely open-minded on ways to continue the process that we started (Tuesday),” general manager Rick Hahn said. “It’s conceivable more comes together here, or it may take a few more weeks on some fronts, and conceivably into the season as well – we don’t view this as a quick fix.”

Moncada is so talented that the Red Sox promoted him from Double-A

appears to be a Cubs-like rebuild, the judging will be even more intense.

Hahn talked Tuesday about building for sustained success. Sound familiar?

The Cubs have looked to the Red Sox for almost everything they’ve done the past five years, from hiring president Theo Epstein to renovating an old ballpark. So maybe the White Sox simply were following form by dealing with Boston. And perhaps the Red Sox’s acquisition of Sale is a response to the Cubs’ success under Epstein, their former employee. Oh, it’s a tangled web.

Sale is a package deal: He’s great, and he’s a few degrees off center. A jerky delivery from a stick-figure physique and a 95 mph fastball makes him very difficult to hit. But he also made headlines last season by cutting up AP file photo teammates’ throwback jerseys before The White Sox traded starter Chris Sale, a left-hander who turns 27 in March and was an a game because he found them unAll-Star in each of the past five seasons, to the Red Sox on Tuesday for a hefty package comfortable. And an irate Sale chose of four prospects – high-priced third baseman Yoan Moncada, considered by many the to plant his flag in the ground over top young talent in baseball, along with pitchers Michael Kopech and Victor Diaz, and the Sox’s decision to cut back on the outfielder Luis Basabe. bizarre presence of Adam LaRoche’s 14-year-old son in the clubhouse.

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. – In the long run, Andre Drummond and Reggie Jackson are going to be the most important players on the Detroit roster.

Tuesday, however, they were spectators.

Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy went with his bench in the fourth quarter, and it outscored the Bulls, 31-19, to pull out a 102-91 victory.

Tobias Harris, who led Detroit with 22 points, was the only Pistons starter to get his usual playing time in the final 12 minutes. He was joined by Ish Smith, Darrun Hilliard, Aron Baynes and Jon Leuer.

Jimmy Butler scored 32 points and Dwyane Wade added 19 points and seven assists for the Bulls, who lost their third straight. The Bulls were playing their fourth game in five nights and struggled in the fourth quarter.

“We battled back from a 17-point deficit and took the lead into the fourth,” Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg said. “That just takes so much energy out of you. We have to stop digging holes for ourselves.”

ON THE COVER Snickerdoodle Cookies

These biscotti have all the appeal of the traditional twice-baked treat: a satisfying crunch that holds up to an enthusiastic dip into cappuccino (or whatever your brew is) and just enough sweet taste and richness they definitely qualify as a cookie, but not so much they would seem entirely out of place on a breakfast table.

Subtly seasoned with the warm, fragrant spices of gingerbread and loaded with chunks of dark chocolate, they also have a distinctly new flavor twist that makes them ideal for the holidays.

Bake them, enjoy them and give them as gifts, because they simply are delicious and express the essence of the season. It’s also nice to know that they are a better-for-you choice, made with olive oil, whole-grain flour and less sugar than most cookies. In all, they’re the perfect cookie to represent my wish to you for a happy, healthy holiday season.

flour or regular whole-wheat flour 1 cup (120 grams) all-purpose flour 1¼ teaspoons ground ginger 1¼ teaspoons ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup olive oil 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar 2 large eggs 1/2 cup chopped dark chocolate (60 to 70 percent cacao solids) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a

silicone liner.

Whisk together the flours, ginger, cinnamon, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.

Combine the oil, the sugars and the eggs in a mixing bowl, whisking until well combined. Add the dry ingredients in three or four increments, stirring until well incorporated. Add the chocolate, stirring to distribute evenly.

Divide the dough in half; place both portions on the baking sheet and shape each into a log that is 6 inches long and 3 inches wide, making sure the logs are spaced 3 inches apart. Bake for 30 minutes, until golden brown and firm, then transfer to a wire rack (on the baking sheet) and let cool for 15 minutes.

Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees.

If you used parchment to line the baking sheet, replace it with a new piece.

Transfer the logs to a cutting board. Use a serrated knife to cut each log crosswise into 8 or 10 slices (depending on how thick you like your biscotti). Lay the slices on the baking sheet on one of their cut sides; bake for 15 minutes, until toasted and lightly browned. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Dorie Greenspan’s Peanut Butter Change-Ups

The Washington Post In case you haven’t heard me shout it from the rooftops, I have a new book: “Dorie’s Cookies”! It’s the book I always knew I would write, because I’ve been a cookie lover almost since the day I was born. I grew up in a family of cookie lovers, and I created a family of cookie lovers. I recently found pictures from our son’s first birthday party, and there’s the cake with the candle, of course, but there’s also the picture of me holding him and smiling as he eats a home-baked cookie. We start ’em young in our family.

Because I worked on the book for about three years, I thought about cookies a lot, as in day and night. I thought about taste and texture and ingredients. I dreamed about cookies, which is how one of my favorites, the Classic Jammer, was born. And I considered the power of cookies.

My son, Joshua, whose official bio lists him as Cookie Monster, says cookies are memories. I believe that, and I believe all cookie memories are happy memories. My cookie mantra (yep, I’ve got one) is: Give a cookie.

Get joy.

It’s too short to include the fact that making cookies is its own kind of joy, but if you’re a baker, you already know the pleasures of the craft.

So, I was working away on my book and baking cookies and giving them away as quickly as I was baking them – because that’s what you do with cookies; you bake a batch, you keep some, you share the rest – and I thought: Cookies are made to be shared. We never bake just one cookie, and we never bake cookies only for ourselves. (Even I, an everyday baker, don’t do that.) We always bake cookies in batches, we share what we bake and we make people happy.

Then I had my lightbulb moment: We bakers could make the whole world happy if we just continued doing what we do. And it was with this in mind that I launched the #cookiesandkindness project.

You can get the details on my website, but the idea is simple: Bake cookies. Share cookies. Post what you bake, and share with the hashtag #cookiesandkindness and tag me, @doriegreenspan, if you want me to see what you’ve done. (I’d love to see what you bake!)

I’m posting a recipe from “Dorie’s Cookies” each month on my site and another recipe here for you, my sweet readers. This month’s cookie, Peanut Butter Change-Ups, is a new take on a

Takeaway tips • You can use either smooth or chunky peanut butter; my preference is for extra-chunky on the theory that too much of a good thing is just right.

• Make sure to choose a homogenous peanut butter – you don’t want to see a layer of oil on top of the jar. There are many natural peanut butters that don’t separate and many that do, so shop carefully. (I grew up on Skippy, so it’s my choice for these cookies.)

• I like to use a cookie scoop with a capacity of about 1½ tablespoons (a #40 disher) to portion and shape the dough. Cookie scoops give you mounds of dough that are all the same size, so they’ll all bake at the same time. If you don’t have a scoop, use a spoon and then roll the dough into balls between your palms.

• You can scoop the dough and freeze the mounds for up to 2 months. Take them out of the freezer, put them on a lined baking sheet while you preheat the oven, then bake. favorite of mine. Because the cookies are scooped, not pressed (and because I tinkered with the amounts and kinds of sugar), they’re shortbreadish on the edges and softer, cakier and, for reasons I can’t suss out, somehow more fully peanutty and flavorful in the center than my still-beloved classics.

Bake. Share. Post. Repeat. I’ll see you on the front lines of the #cookiesandkindness revolution.

Dorie Greenspan’s Peanut Butter Change-Ups Makes 54 cookies

2 cups flour 1/4 teaspoon baking powder 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg 1½ cups smooth or chunky peanut butter,

at room temperature 16 tablespoons (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature, cut into chunks 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt 1 cup granulated sugar, plus more for sprinkling 2/3 cup packed light brown sugar 2 large eggs, at room temperature 1 cup lightly salted peanuts, finely chopped Position oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners.

Whisk together the flour, baking powder and nutmeg (to taste) in a medium bowl.

Combine the peanut butter, unsalted butter and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer or handheld mixer; beat on medium speed for about 3 minutes, until very smooth. Stop to

scrape down the bowl.

Add the granulated and light brown sugars; beat on medium speed for 2 minutes, until they are well incorporated. Beat in the eggs one at a time for 1 minute each on medium speed. Stop to scrape down the bowl.

Add the flour mixture all at once; pulse a few times to start blending in those dry ingredients, then beat on medium-low speed until well incorporated. Add the chopped peanuts and beat on low speed, just until evenly distributed. Stop the motor; use a spatula to give the dough a few turns, making sure no trace of flour is left.

Use a medium cookie scoop (about 1½ tablespoons, a #40 disher) to transfer level scoops of dough to the baking sheets, spacing the dough mounds 1½ inches apart.

Sprinkle the tops of the mounds with granulated sugar.

Bake (upper and lower racks) for 10 minutes, then rotate the pans top to bottom and front to back; bake for 7 to 9 minutes, until the edges are set but the cookies feel squeezable. Transfer the baking sheets to wire racks to cool for 2 minutes, then transfer the cookies directly to the racks to cool completely.

Repeat to use the remaining dough, making sure the baking sheets are cool before reusing.

Cookie bakers, here’s your secret weapon

By DORIE GREENSPAN The Washington Post Bakers, to your ovens! It’s cookie time for real and true. The sweetest time of the year is here, and it’s never too soon to start stocking your freezer for the coming weeks and your cookie jar for today.

I’ve got a bunch of ideas for getting batches of cookies prepped ahead of time, but first, here’s one of my favorite save-the-season recipes: Do-AlmostAnything Vanilla Cookie Dough. It’s a cookie baker’s secret weapon; it was mine before I went public with it in my new book, “Dorie’s Cookies.”

This delicious dough comes together easily and has a variety of uses, from drop to slice-and-bake to cut-out cookies. It can take some spice or remain purely vanilla. It rolls and bakes flat, so it can be decorated; and it stays just where you put it, so if you decide to make a gothic cathedral complete with flying buttresses, the dough won’t defeat your grand plans.

I’m starting you off with the basic recipe, plus four other recipes (below) you can make with it: Make one batch of dough and divide it to make all four, or make a bushel of one type of cookie from one batch. So many ways to play. Now off you go: Bake! Bake! And bake some more.

Do-Almost-Anything Vanilla Cookie Dough Makes 80 2-inch cookies

1 pound unsalted butter, cut into chunks, at room tem-

Do-Almost-Anything Vanilla Cookie Dough The Washington Post

perature 1 1/3 cups sugar 1 teaspoon fine sea salt 2 large egg whites, at room temperature 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 4 cups flour Sanding sugar, for sprinkling (optional) Combine the butter, sugar and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer or handheld electric mixer; beat on medium speed for about 3 minutes or until creamy. Stop once or twice to scrape down the bowl.

Reduce the speed to low and add the egg whites and then the vanilla extract; the dough may curdle, but it will smooth out once the flour is added.

On low speed, add the flour in 3 or 4 additions, beating

Variations • To make about 24 White Chocolate and Poppy Seed Cookies, stir 1/3 cup (56 grams) chopped white chocolate bar or white chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon black poppy seeds into one-quarter of the basic dough (before you roll it out). Roll to a 1/4-inch-thick disk, chill, cut out, bake and cool as in the recipe above. Melt 1/3 cup white chocolate chips; spread it over the cooled cookies and then sprinkle with more poppy seeds. Let set before serving or storing.

• To make 20 Vanilla Polka Dots, use a small (2 teaspoons) disher to create 20 level portions of dough, using one-quarter of the basic dough before it’s rolled out. Roll each portion into a ball, then dip it into a bowl containing about 1/2 cup (96 grams) pearl or Swedish sugar, and space the balls about 2 inches apart on a baking sheet. Wrap the bottom of a jam jar with plastic wrap; use it to flatten the balls a bit. Bake (middle rack) one sheet at a time for 20 to 22 minutes, rotating the sheet from front to back after 11 minutes. Cool the cookies as directed above.

• To make about 20 Double-Ginger Crumb Cookies, stir together 1¼ teaspoons peeled, minced fresh ginger root and 1 teaspoon sugar in a small bowl. Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring a few times, until the sugar melts into a syrup. Stir that mixture into onequarter of the basic dough recipe (before you roll it out). Roll out and chill as directed above. Make the topping: Combine 3/4 cup (102 grams) flour, 1/3 cup (67 grams) sugar, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt and 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, in a bowl, using your fingertips to work the mixture into crumbs that hold together. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. Cut out the cookies as directed above, then sprinkle a generous amount of the crumbly topping on each one. (You will have leftover topping.) Bake (middle rack) one sheet at a time, for 21 to 23 minutes, rotating the sheet from front to back after 12 minutes. Cool as directed above.

• To make about 18 Christmas Spice Cookies, combine 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, a pinch of ground cloves and a pinch of ground allspice in a small bowl, then blend the mixture evenly into one-quarter of the basic dough recipe (before you roll it out). Roll out, chill and cut out as directed above, using a 2-inch snowflake-shaped cutter; sprinkle sanding sugar over each one, if desired, before baking (middle rack) one sheet at a time for 19 to 21 minutes, rotating the sheet from front to back after 10 minutes. Cool as directed above.

only until it is almost incorporated before the next portion goes in. Stop to scrape down the bowl as needed.

At this point, the dough can be divided and flavored (see variations, below) and scooped or rolled out. To make plain cookies, divide the dough into quarters and shape each one into a disk. Working with one disk at a time, place it between 2 sheets of parchment paper and roll out to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Stack the disks with their parchment paper on a baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 3 hours; or you can freeze them for 1 hour.

Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners.

Working with one rolled-out portion of dough at a time, peel away the parchment paper on both sides, then place the dough back on one of those sheets of paper.

Use the cookie cutter to cut out as many cookies as you can, spacing them about 1½ inches apart on the baking sheets and rerolling scraps as needed. Sprinkle with sanding sugar if desired. Bake (upper and lower racks) for 19 to 21 minutes, rotating the sheets from top to bottom and front to back halfway through or as soon as you see the cookies’ edges start to become golden. Cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring the cookies to wire racks to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining dough.

By ELIZABETH KARMEL The Associated Press I always have loved peppermint and chocolate together and peppermint bark is my favorite way to eat it.

Or it was – until I created this peppermint bark variation of my favorite childhood Christmas cookie.

My mother made Spritz cookies every Christmas for as long as I can remember. She always made the simple butter cookies in both chocolate and vanilla, and we decorated them with colored sugar sprinkles.

My favorite shape was the poinsettia, because you could eat the cookie one petal at a time.

The hardest thing about making this recipe is using the cookie press.

There is no way around it – you need a cookie press. My mother used her mother’s cookie press until it stopped working and since then, we both have bought many cookie presses trying to find one that was smooth and easy to work.

A cookie press looks like the culinary version of a caulking gun and deposits only enough dough to make one cookie. I tried quite a few presses, and the best one I have found so far is the OXO cookie press. I also love

that it comes with all the traditional patterns such as the Christmas tree, wreath and several flowers, but also has an elegant fleur de lis and a heart.

You also can buy extra seasonal discs and make spritz year round.

Once you have a good press, all you need to make the cookie dough is a bowl and a blending fork, or your hands. I’ve taken the basic chocolate spritz cookie recipe and instead of decorating with sugar, I decorate with melted chocolate, sprinkling with crushed peppermint candies and drizzling with white chocolate to create my Peppermint Bark Spritz Cookie.

1 cup crushed peppermint candies Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Mix butter, unsweetened chocolate and sugar together until creamy. Add egg yolks one at a time to combine. Add vanilla and mix thoroughly.

Using your hands or a blending fork, work in the flour, a little at a time, until smooth.

Divide dough into 2-3 pieces and roll them

into a tube shape and cover with wax paper.

Chill dough for 30 minutes. When the dough is chilled, place the roll in the cookie press tube and choose a cookie plate for your design. Press the cookies out one at a time onto an ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake 7 to 10 minutes or until set but not brown. Remove from cookie sheet after 1 minute, and gently place on a cooling rack.

Let cookies cool completely.

Melt chocolate and place in a decorating bag or a re-closeable plastic bag. When ready to decorate cookies, snip a small corner at one end of the bag for the chocolate to flow through. When the cookies are cool, carefully drizzle melted semi-sweet chocolate on the top of the cookie. While the chocolate is still warm, sprinkle with crushed peppermint candies so the candy will stick to the chocolate, then drizzle with melted white chocolate.

Place in the refrigerator to set the chocolate for at least 1 hour before serving.

Store in an airtight container in a cool place.

After a heavy meal, snickerdoodles are the perfect bite

By The CULINARY INSTITUTE OF AMERICA The holiday season is such a beloved time of year. The weather turns cool and the snow begins to fall; we spend dedicated time with our family and friends; and children experience old family traditions for the first time.

At homes across the country, carefully wrapped plates of homemade cookies are passed among friends and neighbors to celebrate a year of friendship and community. A family’s cookie plate is as unique as they are, and so often you can identify the sender by the treats on the plate.

Special holiday cookie recipes are an old tradition. In the Middle Ages, spices, butter and sugar were prized possessions, too expensive for everyday use. At the holidays, cooks would use these ingredients to make small extravagances to share with friends and family. Cookies spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg and clove were common and have stood the test of time. It is believed the first gingerbread men came from the time of Elizabeth I, who asked for the cookies to be shaped like the men in her court.

Cookie recipes have evolved a great deal since the time of Elizabeth, and every family has their list of must-bake cookies. One standout

Snickerdoodles AP photo

holiday favorite is the snickerdoodle, a sugar cookie that is rolled in cinnamon sugar before being baked. It is recognizable by its slightly cracked exterior that lets its chewy interior shine through. Unlike many sugar cookies that are unleavened and rolled for cutting, our snickerdoodles contain both baking soda and cream of tartar. Because they are so mild in flavor, they often have a characteristic tanginess that can be attributed to those ingredients. After a heavy meal, Snickerdoodles are the perfect bite to satisfy a sweet tooth.

This recipe calls for a #40 scoop, which is just about 1½ tablespoons of cookie dough per cookie, but you can make your cookies as big or small as you would like. For smaller cookies,

increase the temperature slightly and reduce the baking time. For larger cookies, decrease the temperature and increase the baking time slightly.

Either way, your nose will know when these cookies are done, and your home will be filled with the scent of the holidays.

Like most cookies, snickerdoodles are the perfect make-ahead recipe.

The cookies can either be fully baked, cooled, and frozen, or you can prepare the dough, scoop the cookies onto a baking sheet, and freeze them to bake later. Remove your cookies from the freezer the day before use. Just be sure to tuck them away somewhere safe, since cookie radar is strong at the holidays.

Snickerdoodles

Servings: About 2 dozen cookies 1 pound (4 sticks) unsalted butter 1 cup granulated sugar 1 cup light brown sugar 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 eggs 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 4¼ cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar Cinnamon-sugar (1 cup sugar, 1 table-

spoon cinnamon), as needed, for garnish Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, gently blend the butter, sugars, and salt on medium speed until combined, 2 minutes.

Gradually add the eggs and vanilla, scraping down the bowl after each addition.

Sift the flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar together. Add to the creamed mixture and mix on low just until combined. Scrape down the bowl as needed.

Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets using a #40 scoop about 1½ inches apart and refrigerate until firm.

Roll the chilled dough in cinnamon-sugar to coat. Flatten slightly with your hands.

Bake until the cookies are golden around the edges, about 8 minutes. Rotate and switch the baking sheets as necessary for even baking. Allow the cookies to cool for a minute on the baking sheets then transfer, using a spatula, to a cooling rack and allow to cool completely.

Say this prayer nine times a day, on the eighth day your prayers will be answered. It has never been known to fail. Publication must be promised.

Richard Thompson, one of the greatest-ever guitarists, wrote a song called “The Hots for the Smarts” that, sadly, has never been released on an album. But Augie Boehm’s latest book, “Bridge Smarts” (HNB Publishing), made me think of it.

Boehm, who often takes part in duplicates with inexperienced clients, offers insights into key aspects of playing better -- hand evaluation and defense being at the top of the list.

The opening lead on this deal would be easy for an expert, but missed by many less-experienced players. Look at the West hand and the auction. What should he lead against four hearts?

West’s negative double showed exactly four spades and six-plus points. His three-diamond rebid was game-invitational. But the strange action was South’s jump to four hearts.

One moment, he passed over two hearts; the next, he jumped to game after no further encouragement from partner. What is the explanation?

Assuming South is a competent player, he must have length and weakness in diamonds. After West bid three diamonds, South knew that his partner had a singleton or a void and he could ruff his diamond losers on the board.

To cut down those ruffs, West must lead his trump. (Note that dummy rates to have only three hearts.

With four and a diamond shortage, he would have bid three hearts over three diamonds.)

Then East must play his part, leading another round of hearts when in with a high diamond. South will lose one spade, one heart and two diamonds.
