TODAY’S TALKER
In 2016, politics dominated our pop culture and vice versa By JOCELYN NOVECK The Associated Press
Our politics is often reflected in our popular culture, and vice versa – especially in an election year. That relationship seemed closer than ever in 2016, when a TV personality was elected president, reality shows and beauty contests were referenced in presidential debates, and even a Broadway show ignited partisan sparring. At times, it seemed like the election overshadowed everything, but of course there was more. The diversity issue again roiled Hollywood. The old-style musical made a glamorous comeback. One of Hollywood’s most scrutinized couples called it quits. And we said a series of painful goodbyes: to legendary rock stars, cinema and TV greats, and The Greatest himself. Our annual, highly selective journey down pop culture memory lane: JANUARY: Ground Control to Major Tom: We shall miss you. The death of DAVID BOWIE casts a pall over the pop culture scene as the year begins. The elegant rock star succumbs to cancer – an illness he fought in secret – just a few days after his 69th birthday and the release of his final music video, “Lazarus,” which begins with the line: “Look up here, I’m in heaven.” FEBRUARY: A year after #OscarsSoWhite in 2015, the Oscars are ... #SoWhiteAgain! For the second year, all 20 nominated actors are white. The lack of diversity leads to some sweeping membership changes at the Academy. Meanwhile, the Super Bowl halftime show is allegedly headlined by Coldplay. But it’s BEYONCE who rules with a commanding performance of her new song, “Formation,” proving that Queen Bey is still very much among our royalty. MARCH: The ROLLING STONES perform in Cuba, a once-unthinkable event that happens a week after President Obama visits the island nation. Speaking of Obama, he hosts a White House concert performance of “HAMILTON,” part of a remarkable 2016 for LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA and his rap-infused Broadway musical about founding father Alexander Hamilton. We say goodbye to GARRY SHANDLING. APRIL: HAMILTON wins the Pulitzer for drama (to add to a Grammy and, soon, 11 Tonys), and current Treasury Secretary Jack Lew reverses a plan to bump Hamilton from the $10 bill after fans kick up a fuss – undoubtedly the first time a Broadway show influences currency policy. And April showers bring Purple Rain: Rock

WHERE IT’S AT
legend PRINCE dies a shocking death at 57 of an accidental opioid overdose, launching countless poignant tributes. MAY: “It’s not over ‘til I say it’s over,” says BERNIE SANDERS to HILLARY CLINTON, of the fight for the Democratic nomination. Actually, that’s LARRY DAVID talking to KATE McKINNON on “Saturday Night Live.” As McKINNON hones her acclaimed, manically ambitious portrayal of Clinton – one of nine actresses to portray her in SNL history – DONALD TRUMP (in real life) clinches the Republican nomination. We’ll have to wait a few months to see who plays him on SNL.... JUNE: The greatest is gone: MUHAMMAD ALI dies at 74 after a three-decade battle with Parkinson’s disease. It’s CLINTON’s turn to clinch her party’s nomination, becoming the first woman in U.S. history to lead a major party ticket. At the Tony awards, host JAMES CORDEN opens with a tribute to the Orlando nightclub shooting victims, and MIRANDA does the same with a tearful sonnet, declaring that “love is love is love is love.” JULY: Hollywood always turns out for Democrats, and the Democratic National Convention is no exception. Performers include KATY PERRY, ALICIA KEYS, CAROLE KING, DEMI LOVATO, BOYZ II MEN and PAUL SIMON, among many others. In media news, ROGER AILES is out at Fox News Channel, following allegations of sexual harassment. And the retired JON STEWART – missed by many fans in an election year – returns to late night, bearded and in a bathrobe, for an appearance with STEPHEN COLBERT. AUGUST: SCOTT BAIO is the biggest celebrity at the Republican National Convention. And some sports news: In Rio, MICHAEL PHELPS ends his historic Olympic career (or so he says) with a mind-boggling 23rd career gold. But the U.S. swim team’s achievements are overshadowed by RYAN LOCHTE’s drunken night and evolving explanation. Goodbye, Willy Wonka and Leo Bloom: Actor GENE WILDER – whose name could easily describe his famous eyes and untamed hair – dies at 83 of complications of Alzheimer’s. SEPTEMBER: The first CLINTON-TRUMP debate draws 84 million viewers, the most ever for a U.S. presidential matchup, and yields at least one catchy meme: The “Hillary Shimmy.” Clinton tries her hand at comedy with ZACH

CENTEGRA’S TEEN TRAINEES
Residency program gives Huntley students glimpse into medical careers By HANNAH PROKOP
hprokop@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – At Centegra Hospital – Huntley, Maddy Moffett listened to the heartbeat of 2-week-old Braxton Emery. It was the first time Moffett, a senior at Huntley High School, had helped perform a checkup on a newborn. As part of Huntley High School and Centegra’s residency program, 24 students have spent two and a half hours every week shadowing mentors at the
hospital in departments ranging from radiology to the catheterization laboratory. This is the first semester for the highly competitive program, which can hold up to 30 students. Students must be seniors who are part of Huntley High School’s Medical Academy, have completed a job shadow program in the field and have a minimum 3.5 GPA to apply for the residency program. “Seeing every side of medicine is what’s been the best part of it,” Moffett
said. “I’m interested in things that I never even knew about.” During his rotation, senior John Galason listened to hospitalist Imran Osmani explain charting and computer work for his department while patients were resting during the hospital’s quiet hours. “I’m asking questions like where [Osmani] went to school and what he does on a daily basis,” Galason said. “He kind of just walks me through what he’s doing, and I just watch him.” On another one of Galason’s rota-
tions, he watched a birth. Galason said the program has helped him see firsthand what happens in the hospital, rather than just hearing about it. “I’m interested in anesthesiology, but that could change,” Galason said. “That’s why I’m doing this.” Students spent the beginning of the semester learning hospital rules, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act and CPR. They also study in class before each rotation so

Suspect at large in LITH woman accused of armed Jimmy John’s unauthorized purchases stole from TLS Veterans robbery in Huntley By JORDYN REILAND
jreiland@shawmedia.com
NORTHWEST HERALD HUNTLEY – Police are asking for the public’s help in locating a female suspect who robbed a Jimmy John’s sandwich shop late last week. Huntley police said they responded to the Jimmy John’s Gourmet Sandwich Shop, 9704 N. Route 47, at 8:53 p.m. Friday for a report of an armed robbery. An employee of the restaurant told police that a woman entered the store, displayed a handgun and demanded money from the cash register. Police said the employee gave the suspect an undisclosed amount of money, and the female left the store heading south from the scene. Police searched the area with the assistance of the Lake in the Hills Police Department and a K-9 unit from the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office. The suspect was not immediately located. No one was injured in the incident. Police said the suspect was described

as a white woman in her mid- to late-20s, about 5 feet 4, average build, blond hair, blue eyes, wearing pink-rimmed glasses and light blue jeans with sequins on the back pockets.

Anyone with information regarding this robbery is asked call the Huntley Police Department at 847-515-5311 or the Huntley police tip line at 847-515-5333.

WOODSTOCK – A Lake in the Hills woman facing a felony charge for allegedly charging more than $20,000 in unauthorized personal purchases to the Sun City Community Association of Huntley was previously convicted of theft against TLS Veterans. Jennifer Lupo, 38, of 10 Litchfield Court, was charged Nov. 30 by the Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office with one count of unauthorized control of property over $10,000, police said. The Class 2 felony is punishable by up to seven years in prison. The Huntley Police Department was notified by the association that it was missing funds, police said. A nearly yearlong investigation was conducted, which included multiple interviews, review of financial records
and several subpoenas. Lupo pleaded guilty to an amended misdemeanor theft charge in October after facing several felony charges of identity theft, forgery Jennifer Lupo and theft by deception from TLS Veterans, which is based in McHenry. Lupo used Transitional Living Services credit cards without authorization, forged a check and altered her payroll to obtain goods, money and credit by deception, according to the indictment. Lupo was sentenced to two years of probation and 180 days in jail, which was stayed pending her compliance. She also was ordered to pay $16,513.91 in restitution to TLS Veterans in McHenry, and must pay at least $500 a month, according to court documents.

Suburban men charged after McHenry man shot in alleged drug deal gone bad By HANNAH PROKOP
hprokop@shawmedia.com HOFFMAN ESTATES have been arrested in connection with a Hoffman Estates drug deal that led to a 26-year-old McHenry man being shot in the face. Rasool Haleem, 31, of Streamwood, Luis Segovia, 18, of West Chicago and Ryan Ratliff, 26, of Elgin were charged with attempted murder, aggravated battery with a firearm and aggravated robbery, Hoffman Estates Police Lt. Darin Felgenhauer said. About 10:30 p.m. Dec. 1, Hoffman Estates police and fire personnel were called to the parking lot of 4600 W. Higgins Road, Hoffman Estates, for reports of shots fired and a man who had been

shot lying in the parking lot, Felgenhauer has said. According to documents from Cook County Assistant State’s Attorney Maureen McGee, the McHenry man had arranged to sell marijuana to Ratliff. A witness who drove the victim to Hoffman Estates for the drug deal said he saw Ratliff threaten the victim with a handgun, prosecutors said. After the McHenry man gave Ratliff a box of marijuana, Ratliff ran away and the witness and victim followed in a car, prosecutors said. The McHenry man then got out of the car and chased Ratliff on foot, and the witness later heard a gunshot, prosecutors said. The witness reached the victim and saw he had been shot in the face, prosecutors said. Paramedics tended to the McHenry man and took him to Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge. As of Monday afternoon, he was in stable condition, Felgenhauer said. Prosecutors said the victim had a bullet lodged in his aorta, and later identified Ratliff as the shooter in a photo array.

Segovia was the driver of the getaway car, which was owned by Haleem, prosecutors said. Haleem’s phone also revealed communications setting up the drug deal with the victim, prosecutors said. Segovia and Haleem made videotaped statements confirming the events, prosecutors said. Both men are being held on $2 million bail, according to police and the Cook County Sheriff’s Department of Corrections records. They face up to 30 years in prison, if convicted. Ratliff was taken into custody Tuesday and is awaiting a bond hearing, police said.

JOHNSBURG – The Salvation Army of McHenry County received its first two gold coins and silver coin of the season in its kettles last weekend. On Saturday, a South African Kugerrand was dropped into a kettle at the Walmart in Johnsburg, and a 1-ounce silver coin was dropped off at the same location. A half-ounce gold coin also was dropped into a kettle at the Jewel-Osco in Fox River Grove over the weekend. “This is a wonderful tradition owned by our generous community that continues to bring Christmas magic into the lives of those we serve,” Executive Director Carol Lewis said. The first known gold coin put into a Salvation Army red kettle was in Crystal Lake in 1982. Since then, The Salvation Army of McHenry County has received at least one gold coin each year. The Red Kettle Campaign is The Salvation Army’s biggest fundraiser of the year. The campaign’s goal this year

VIEWS Joan Oliver Electrical cords snaked amid the mess. Not surprisingly, there weren’t any smoke alarms, either. That’s not to say that warehouses can’t be converted for use by artists. However, to do so requires adherence to building codes, fire codes and money. Sprinklers usually are required in “multiple-occupancy” buildings. At the very least smoke detectors. More than two exits, with properly constructed stairwells leading to said exits. Lighted exit signs. Proper storage of flammable materials. And the list goes on and on. Yet it can be done – properly and beautifully. It’s even been done here in McHenry County. However, such a conversion requires vision and an investment of time and resources. Not to mention official consent from the municipality and adherence to building and fire codes. Unfortunately, that was not the case with the “Ghost Ship.” Adding to the Oakland tragedy are

reports that the building hadn’t been inspected in years, in part because of budget cuts and a hiring freeze at the Oakland Fire Department. Investigators still are trying to determine the cause of the blaze, which they say was not set intentionally. One theory was that it was caused by a faulty refrigerator, but more recent reports dispute that. As with many fires, a definitive cause may never be determined. However, what isn’t in doubt is that this death trap should never have been in existence in the first place. The operators of this illegal residence and venue bear the brunt of the responsibility for this senseless loss of life.
The thing to remember is that this type of fire can happen anywhere and at any time. That’s why it’s so important to have safety measures in place and to take precautionary steps before tragedy strikes. No, fire codes and safety regulations aren’t very glamorous or romantic. Sometimes adhering to them can be expensive. But not following them can be far more costly – in loss of property and, even worse, in loss of lives.

Fire safety isn’t the most glamorous thing to think about. It certainly isn’t as romantic as the idea of creating an artists’ community in an old warehouse. It isn’t as creative or ingenious as using MacGyver techniques to rig up stairwells using old pallets or dumpster-diving to find old pianos and furniture to furnish the place. Yet, there are good reasons why fire codes exist when one wants to convert a warehouse into usable space for artists. Tragically, a fire Dec. 2 at the “Ghost Ship” artist collective warehouse in Oakland, California, left 36 people dead, many of them trapped when fire broke out during an electronic music party. More than 100 people reportedly were in attendance when the fire broke out just before midnight. The dead ranged in age from teenagers to those in their 30s. Not only were the artists using the building for their work, but a dozen or more also were using it illegally as a residence. They even were hosting parties, such as the one that was going on when the deadly fire broke out. According to published reports, those who lived there said the place was cluttered with art, pianos and furniture. Stairways to the second floor were constructed of wooden pallets.

WOODSTOCK – The McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office has hired a new felony prosecutor, the office announced this week. Victor Escarcida, who has been a prosecutor since 2004, was most recently first assistant state’s attorney in Boone County, according to a news release. Escarcida got his law degree in 2002 at Northern Illinois University
College of Law. Escarcida has “successfully handled” thousands of felony crimes, including first-degree murder, gang-related cases and child abuse, according to a news release. “We are fortunate to have such an experienced, ethical and talented prosecutor join our office and help further our mission of doing justice on behalf of the residents of McHenry County,” State’s Attorney Patrick Kenneally said in a statement.

Trump fears linger at Guadalupe feast By SOPHIA TAREEN The Associated Press
CHICAGO – Heckel Villa noticed something different as tens of thousands of Catholics made their annual pilgrimage to a suburban Chicago shrine to Mexico’s revered patron saint. As always, they brought daily concerns about family and health, but the daughter of Mexican immigrants who’s worked and worshipped for years at one of the largest shrines to Our Lady of Guadalupe in the U.S. said it was fear and anxiety about President-elect Donald Trump’s approach to immigration that permeated their prayers. “The spirit was there, but people were actually afraid,” she said Monday during the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. “Their main goal was to pray to make sure that they get some type of answer and trying to make sure our (incoming) president thinks differently, changes his way of thinking, especially with Hispanic people.” The sentiment was echoed in small parishes and big city cathedrals across the country as Trump’s win and aggressive pledges on immigration changed the dynamic of one of the biggest Catholic holidays, particularly in Latin America.

Son sues for Topinka’s retirement funds
CHICAGO – The son of late Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka is suing for more than $60,000 in contributions she made to the state retirement system. The (Springfield) State Journal-Register reported Joe Topinka filed the lawsuit last week in Sangamon County Circuit Court. He’s seeking to overturn a General Assembly Retirement System ruling that found he shouldn’t get the money. The ruling said that’s because Topinka was paid more in retirement benefits than she contributed over her life.

The Illinois Department of Public Health now has approved about 13,200 patients for medical marijuana, including 100 children and teenagers. The number of Illinois dispensaries continues to grow with 47 now licensed to sell medical marijuana.
said families are left “wondering how changes to immigration policy might impact them.” While on the campaign trail, Trump called Mexican immigrants rapists and criminals, promised to build a border wall and pledged to deport the estimated 11 million immigrants living in the U.S. illegally, including children. The Republican has since walked back the number of people that he thinks should be deported, but hasn’t detailed his immigration plans. Businesses, local elected leaders and activists have responded by seeking more clarity about potential changes and holding demonstrations, but many people have turned to their faith to find solace, said the Rev. Esequiel Sanchez, the rector at the large shrine in Des Plaines. He said calling for support and immigration reform on the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe was a natural fit. The feast marks the time when millions make the pilgrimage to a Mexican basilica to honor the virgin believed to have appeared to an Indian peasant on Dec. 12, 1531. Dubbed by several including Pope Francis as “the mother of the Americas,” she’s viewed as a protector, among other things. Her iconic image with hands held in prayer is found everywhere.
Last month’s figures bring the total retail sales in Illinois to $32.5 million since purchasing began Nov. 9, 2015. The state’s medical marijuana law is set to expire in July 2020.

Quigley: Budget woes could hurt odds for Trump funds
CHICAGO – A Chicago-area Democratic congressman said Illinois could miss out on federal infrastructure money under President-election Donald Trump if the state doesn’t sort out its budget problems. U.S. Rep. Mike Quigley told the Chicago Tribune that if Illinois can’t come up with matching funds from a capital plan, then it will miss out on new federal money from a big federal infrastructure program. Trump has talked about $1 trillion in infrastructure spending. Quigley said that if the state match money “isn’t there, that (federal) money goes to another state.”

Trump taps ExxonMobil CEO for secretary of state Rex Tillerson has close ties to Russia By DAVID KOENIG
The Associated Press DALLAS – ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson, President-elect Donald Trump’s choice to lead the State Department, has close ties to Russia through years of deal-making that will serve as valuable experience – but also raise concerns. Tillerson has claimed to have a “very close relationship” with Russian President Vladimir Putin and will have deep knowledge of the country’s power structure, having led ExxonMobil into a rare oil exploration deal with Russia’s state-owned energy company. His ties, however, could cast a shadow over important decisions on relations with Russia, from whether to extend sanctions to the handling of intelligence reports that Russia interfered with the U.S. presidential election to help Trump. As an oil executive, Tillerson has argued against sanctions that the U.S. and European allies imposed on Russia after it annexed the Crimean Peninsula from Ukraine in 2014. The sanctions are aimed against key sectors of the Russian economy, including financial services, energy, mining and defense, but also individuals in Putin’s inner circle. Experts say that if they remain in the long term, the sanctions could affect Exxon’s joint venture with Russia’s state oil company. A native of Wichita Falls, Texas, 64-year-old Tillerson is a career Exxon employee, having joined the company after graduating from the University of Texas in 1975 with an engineering degree. Groomed for an executive position, he spent years in the rough-and-tumble world of oil production, work-

By the 1990s, Tillerson was overseeing many of Exxon’s foreign operations. He played a key role in Exxon’s involvement in the huge Sakhalin oil and natural gas project on Russia’s eastern coast. That was a warm-up for a $3.2 billion deal in which Exxon and Russian state-controlled Rosneft announced they would work together to explore for oil in Russia’s Arctic region. In 2011, Tillerson flew to the Russian resort town of Sochi to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin for the announcement. As news photographers recorded the scene, the men shook hands and smiled broadly at each other. “This project promises to be highly interesting and ambitious,” Putin said at the time. Success in Russia required aligning the company’s interests with those of the Russian government, mettle, and good relations with Putin. Exxon steadily expanded its Russian business while its rivals faced expropriation and regulatory obstacles. In 2013, Putin awarded Tillerson the Order of Friendship, an honor given to foreigners who improve relations with Russia.
“My relationship with Vladimir Putin, which dates back almost 15 years now, I’ve known him since 1999 and have a very close relationship with him,” Tillerson said in a speech a few years ago. Like other oil companies, Exxon has had to develop its own diplomacy and foreign relations, so many skills Tillerson honed at Exxon could help in his new role, said Antoine Halff, head of the global oil markets program at Columbia University’s Center on Global Energy Policy. Exxon also has operations in Indonesia, Azerbaijan, Chad, Equatorial Guinea, and many other countries, from the Arctic Circle to the southern tip of Australia. Africa and Asia were its leading sources of oil production in 2015. Tillerson became Exxon’s CEO on Jan. 1, 2006, and is expected to retire next year. His heir apparent, Darren Woods, has been in place for a year, so there would be virtually no disruption to Exxon’s succession plans. In 2015, Exxon valued Tillerson’s compensation at $27.3 million, most of it in stock. At the end of 2015, he held awards that had not yet vested that were worth $149.2 million.

Prosecutors want Cosby’s accusers to testify The ASSOCIATED PRESS NORRISTOWN, Pa. – Bill Cosby used his fame to gain the trust of women before knocking them out with pills and drinks so he could sexually assault them, prosecutors argued Tuesday as they sought to persuade a judge to allow 13 of his accusers to testify in his upcoming sexual assault trial. Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin Steele told a judge he wants the accusers’ testimony to show Cosby had a lengthy history of drugging and molesting young women. “The defendant has engaged, over the course of decades, in a signature pattern of nonconsensual sexual assaults on young women who were in an unconscious state due to an intoxicant that the defendant administered to them,” Steele argued. Cosby, who is 79 and has been married for decades, is charged with sexually assaulting a woman at his suburban Philadelphia home in 2004. His lawyers want the accusers barred from taking the stand at his spring trial. The defense is expected to attack the women’s credibility and relevance when his lawyers make their arguments Wednesday. Judge Steven O’Neill must decide

come forward with accusations against Cosby since prosecutors reopened the 2004 case last year. The hearing was testy from the start, with the judge twice warning the lawyers to maintain decorum after courtroom shouting matches that cen-
tered on the defense team’s practice of publicizing the names of the accusers. Steele clashed with Cosby lawyer Brian McMonagle over the defense’s insistence on identifying accusers by name in public documents and a court hearing. Steele suggested Cosby’s lawyers were publicizing them in an attempt to intimidate the women. McMonagle said many of the women had already gone public with their allegations. “These are witnesses in a trial,” he argued. “They are not children.” The judge ultimately ruled Cosby’s lawyers could identify 11 of the women by name since they’d already told their stories publicly. He said two of the women have remained out of the spotlight and shouldn’t be identified in court. Later, Steele blew up at the defense over the positioning of a projection screen, saying Cosby’s lawyers had it placed so the women’s names would be seen by dozens of reporters in the courtroom gallery. McMonagle said courtroom staff positioned the screen, but he agreed to remove accusers’ names from a planned presentation. The judge said he’d be forced to call in sheriff’s deputies if the lawyers couldn’t behave.

BEIRUT – Syrian rebels reached a cease-fire deal to evacuate from eastern Aleppo in an effective surrender Tuesday, as Russia declared all military action had stopped and the Syrian government had assumed control of the former rebel enclave. The dramatic developments, which appeared to restore the remainder of what was once Syria’s largest city to President Bashar Assad’s forces after months of heavy fighting and a crippling siege, followed reports of mass killings by government forces closing in on the final few blocks still held by the rebels. Damascus confirmed the evacuation deal and the U.N. envoy for Syria, Staffan de Mistura, called for immediate access to the former rebel enclave to confirm the end of military operations and to oversee the safe departure of tens of thousands of civilians and opposition fighters. He was at the Security Council where an emergency meeting for Aleppo was underway. Russia’s U.N. ambassador Vitaly Churkin took to the floor near the end of the session at the U.N. Security Council to announce fighting had ended.
trolled western sector of Aleppo, with convoys of cars driving around honking their cars and waving Syrian flags from the windows. Retaking Aleppo, which has been split between rebel and government control since 2012, would be Assad’s biggest victory yet in the civil war. Aleppo, the country’s former commercial powerhouse, has long been regarded as a major gateway between Turkey and Syria and the biggest prize in the conflict. The agreement Tuesday came after world leaders and aid agencies issued dramatic appeals on behalf of trapped residents, and the U.N. human-rights office said that pro-government forces reportedly killed 82 civilians as they closed in on the last remaining rebel areas. That and other reports of mass killings, which could not be independently confirmed, reinforced fears of atrocities in the final hours of the battle for the city. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Kimoon told the emergency meeting he had received “credible reports” of civilians killed by intense bombing and summary executions by pro-government forces.

Time to make Americans live longer again Is there a way to measure a country’s overall success? Gross domestic product indicates how well the economy is working. Labor-force participation rates and median wages say something about how workers are faring. Newer measures of happiness, pride and other intangibles may fill in some soft details. There is one metric, however, that speaks volumes about how well any country or society operates: life expectancy. Last year, average life expectancy in the U.S. fell for the first time since 1993, according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That should come as a wake-up call. The CDC report doesn’t say what’s causing the decline, but it offers three clues. Life span shrunk only among the non-elderly. The cause of death that increased most, after Alzheimer’s disease, was unintentional injury. And death rates rose most among white groups. All these signs point to the opioid addiction epidemic in Middle America. State and federal efforts to stem that epidemic clearly have been inadequate. President-elect Donald Trump has pledged to make better progress, by restricting the flow of drugs into the country, approving more treatments for addiction and providing more services for people with substance-abuse problems. Legislation Congress passed this month to provide more money to states to fight overdoses also may help. Trump and Congress also should work to improve drug courts and overcome resistance by doctors to treating addiction. Yet Trump also will want to consider how his other policy promises might impede progress. The most obvious concern is his pledge to do away with the Affordable Care Act, which has extended health insurance to at least 20 million people who didn’t have it before, and free preventive care to tens of millions more. The health care law also mandates that insurance plans cover substance abuse, something one-third of individual plans previously didn’t pay for. The latest CDC numbers demonstrate policy decisions have consequences, and give Trump and the new Congress a clear way to show whether they can improve on the American success story.

‘Lessons learned’ about Russia
The strongest indication that President Barack Obama’s administration has not adequately disclosed or responded to Russian interference in the presidential election may be that President-elect Donald Trump still denies it happened. “I don’t believe they interfered,” Trump told Time magazine last week, adding that computer hacking of state election authorities and the theft and release of emails from the Democratic National Committee “could be some guy in his home in New Jersey.” Trump surely has been briefed by U.S. intelligence agencies on the evidence that caused them to publicly accuse Russia of interference, and that prompted Obama to use the nuclear hotline to warn the regime of Vladimir Putin against further “malicious cyberactivity.” But Trump probably calculates he can get away with flouting the
facts – and continue his bromance with Putin – because the White House has neither made public what it knows about the Russian hacking nor adopted any punitive measures. That must change before Obama leaves office. On Friday, under pressure from both Democratic and Republican members of Congress, the president’s homeland security adviser disclosed a “full review” of Russian actions during the election campaign had been ordered. A full review is appropriate. The intelligence agencies and those they have briefed in Congress appear to have a high degree of confidence about Russia’s responsibility. What occurred was not merely espionage, which the United States as well as Russia routinely engage in, but a deliberate attempt to sabotage the U.S. election: The Post reported the CIA had concluded Moscow’s aim was to help
Trump defeat Hillary Clinton. Consequently, it is crucial the “lessons learned” in the administration’s review be imparted not just in classified briefings but also to the world – and that the Kremlin suffer some consequences for its actions. Those in Russia who conducted the election hacks should be named, banned from travel and targeted for asset freezes. If possible, they should be prosecuted. It’s encouraging that congressional leaders from both parties are seeking to hold Russia accountable. It is Obama, however, who has the means and the obligation to act before he leaves office. If Trump is inaugurated without disclosure of the role Moscow played in his election, the meddling is likely to remain undisclosed and unpunished. Obama should ensure it is, at least, undeniable.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Troubling events in McHenry Township government
To the Editor: Many of the things I’ve heard would happen because of the way the McHenry Township government was run are actually starting to happen. I went to the township Republican caucus and learned a lot. The one clearly blatant thing that was predicted, and already is happening, is that before the next election, after over-levying taxes for years and accumulating obscene surpluses, township officials would announce a big tax levy reduction and take credit for saving the taxpayers money. It’s a lot like the department store jack-
VIEWS Megan McArdle victor has no real right to execute the functions of the office. I’m no fan of Trump, so it’s not self-interest when I say he should receive the Electoral College’s support and become president. And I’m troubled by the allegations Russia is working to destabilize or sway U.S. elections, so it’s not that I see these latest allegations as no big deal. They’re a big deal. But they don’t undermine the outcome of the election. If it became known, for example, that Russia had tampered with the voting machines so as to make them record phantom votes for Trump, I would support throwing out the results and calling another election. If the intelligence community had hard evidence the Trump campaign had conspired with Russia to hack the Democratic National Committee, then I would be the first to call for indictments of those involved – or for impeachment and removal of the president-elect, if he knew. But that’s not what is being alleged, as far as I can tell. What is alleged is that Russia hacked the DNC and released information intended to make Clinton look bad. That’s a criminal act, and we should prosecute anyone we can get onto U.S. soil. On the other hand, it’s poor grounds for invalidating an election. “The American voter had too much information about the Democrats” is not a ringing slogan with which to argue their party should really have won.
ing up the price of something so they can give you a bigger discount. I don’t like either of those practices. The tax-saving propaganda because of the reduced levy already has started, and now I learn that both McHenry Township and it’s road district are being sued for the over-levying and overspending, with much of the overspending they have been accused of being on their own salaries. I wonder how many of our tax dollars are going to be wasted on attorneys defending these suits. I got involved in all of this because I want to help Steve Koerber win the election as road district highway commissioner. I know him well and know he
Short of invalidating the election outcome, what can be done? I share the horror at the thought of Russian meddling, and I too would like something to be done. But it’s rarely constructive policy to set out to just do “something” in reaction to a horrifying event. There’s good reason we’ve never let faithless electors nullify an election. The democratic nation-state is not a natural institution. It takes a lot of work, and a fair amount of magical thinking, to get 300 million people to the point where (most of the time) they will abide by sweeping decisions made by far-away people they’ve never personally met. The value of this is rarely much appreciated by the losing side, but it is the same emotional logic that guides the legal doctrine of stare decisis, which is to say that stuff that already got decided stays decided, even if the decision wasn’t necessarily very good. Sometimes we get stuck with some real stinkers of election results and judicial decisions. But the alternative is even worse: a nation in which no one can ever plan or move forward, because nothing is ever final. While a mutable past may seem splendid at the moment when your opposition controls the immediate future based on that decision, wise citizens know that not long from now, there will come a moment when your party gets to run the future for a while – and if you won’t accept the results of the elections you lose, then your opponents won’t either. When a country reaches this state, things get pretty bleak, pretty fast. Our sacred norm already has been tested in recent years, from the left-wingers who called Bush the
“President Select” to the conservatives who said that Obama was “not my president.” But this is minor grumbling compared to what you’d see if the Electoral College went into a secret intelligence briefing and came out with a president other than the one who won the vote. If the intelligence community has serious evidence that election machines were tampered with, or that the Trump campaign actively conspired with Russia to commit a felony, than that information should certainly be given to the Electoral College. But it also should be given to the rest of the American public, so we can debate whether these circumstances rise to the extraordinary level required to invalidate an election, either through the Electoral College or through impeachment. However, if all they have is information that was widely available to the American public before the election – that someone, probably Russia, hacked the DNC and released stolen emails – combined with the speculation that Russia really, really wanted Trump to be president, then the electors should stick with Trump. And Democrats should say “He is my president” – even if they have to say it through gritted teeth. American voters had their chance to disagree with Russia, and didn’t take it. Maybe the deciding votes in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania were swayed by those DNC emails. Maybe not. Regardless, their vote is sacred. And if we don’t keep it that way, then the gates of political hell yawn wide indeed.

As a journalist of my acquaintance joked on Twitter this week, I’m so old I remember when it was dangerous and unpatriotic to question the validity of election results. Ah, yes. Those halcyon days, back when Hillary Clinton said to not accept the results of an election was “a direct threat to our democracy.” In the modern political era, that’s a lifetime ago. Six weeks ago. In the course of that lifetime, Clinton lost an election she had been widely expected to win. And then last weekend, The Washington Post broke the news a secret CIA assessment had concluded “Russia intervened in the 2016 election to help Donald Trump win the presidency, rather than just to undermine confidence in the U.S. electoral system, according to officials briefed on the matter.” These conclusions seem to be somewhat contested within the intelligence community, but that didn’t stop social media from lighting up with calls for the Electoral College to overturn the results of the election. Most of this was probably the sort of idle chatter that used to fill barrooms instead of newsfeeds after elections, but I saw some sober, serious people I respect arguing this completely delegitimized Trump’s presidency, and at least one person say Trump hadn’t really won. Now John Podesta, former chairman of the Clinton campaign, has joined electors urging that the Electoral College be given an intelligence briefing before they vote. Democrats were right the first time. It is dangerous and unpatriotic to suggest you won’t abide by the results of an election, either by lobbying to overturn the vote through some procedural trick, or by declaring the

Gov’t to require cars be able to talk to each other By JOAN LOWY
The Associated Press WASHINGTON – All new cars and light trucks would be able to talk wirelessly with each other, with traffic lights and with other roadway infrastructure under a rule the Transportation Department proposed Tuesday. Officials say the technology holds the potential to dramatically reduce traffic deaths and transform driving. Vehicle-to-vehicle communications, or V2V, enables cars to transmit their locations, speed, direction and other information 10 times per second. That lets cars detect, for example, when another vehicle is about to run a red light, is braking hard, changing lanes or coming around a blind turn in time for a driver or automated safety systems to prevent a crash. The technology has the potential to prevent or mitigate the severity of up to 80 percent of collisions that don’t involve alcohol or drugs, officials said. “V2V will provide 360-degree situational awareness on the road,” Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx said. “We are carrying the ball as far as we can to realize the potential of transportation technology to save lives.” The Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers said it is reviewing the proposal, but sees V2V as complementary to automated safety features that are increasingly being added to vehicles. Automakers and the government have been working together on developing technology for more than a decade. Under the department’s proposal, V2V

A pedestrian crosses in front of a vehicle as part of a demonstration at Mcity on its opening day July 20, 2015, on the University of Michigan campus in Ann Arbor, Mich. systems would be required to “speak the same language” through standardized messaging. The Federal Highway Administration plans to separately issue guidance to help transportation planners integrate two-way wireless technology into road infrastructure such as traffic lights, stop signs and work zones. Cars could communicate information on road conditions to the infrastructure, which could then be passed along to other vehicles as they come along. Traffic lights would know when to stay green to avoid unnecessary waiting and reduce congestion. There is a 90-day comment period, and officials said they expect it will be about a year before a final rule is released.
The proposal calls for 50 percent of new vehicles to have the technology within two years after a final rule is issued, and 100 percent of vehicles within four years. It would still take years or even decades after that for the full potential of V2V to be realized. That’s because V2V can prevent collisions only among vehicles equipped with the technology. It takes decades for the entire fleet of vehicles on the road to turn over. But the process of spreading V2V throughout the fleet may go faster if, as expected, devices are developed that enable motorists to add the technology to older vehicles. Some automakers aren’t waiting for the final rule. General Motors has said previously that it plans to include V2V in some 2017 Cadillacs. The 2017 Mercedes E-Class sedans also are equipped
with V2V. V2V’s range is up to about 1,000 yards in all directions, even when sight is blocked by buildings or other obstacles. That gives the technology the advantage of being able to detect a potential collision before the driver can see the threat, unlike the sensors and cameras of self-driving cars that sense what’s immediately around the vehicle. Industry and government officials see the two technologies as complementary. Ultimately, self-driving cars that also are equipped with V2V may be the answer to traffic congestion because they’ll be able to synchronize their movements so that they can merge seamlessly and safely travel in long, closely packed caravans at higher speeds. That would improve traffic flow and increase highway capacity. To address cybersecurity, the proposal requires that V2V systems employ a security level of at least 128-bit encryption and comply with benchmarks of the National Institute of Standards and Technology. To protect privacy, V2V messages are anonymous – they don’t contain any information on the driver, owner of the vehicle, make or model, vehicle identification number or license plate. The messages are also of brief duration and not retained, therefore it’s not possible to use the messages to determine where a vehicle has been or to search for a particular vehicle among others on the road, said Debra Bezzina, an engineer with the University of Michigan’s Transportation Research Institute who works on the technology.

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT

NEW YORK – A newly blond Kanye West visited Donald Trump on Tuesday, and Trump said later they talked about “life.” West stood silently next to the president-elect for photos in the lobby of Trump Tower after their meeting. Asked why he wasn’t speaking, West said, “I just want to take a picture right now.” Trump said he and West were “just friends” and called the musician a “good man.” He said they discussed “life.” The two did not answer questions about whether West would perform at the Inauguration.

Lynda Carter, who played Wonder Woman on TV, listens Oct. 21 during a U.N. meeting to designate Wonder Woman as an “Honorary Ambassador for the Empowerment of Women and Girls” at U.N. headquarters.
Wonder Woman dumped as a special UN ambassador NEW YORK – The comic book heroine Wonder Woman has been abruptly fired from her honorary ambassador job at the United Nations after protests from both inside and outside the world organization that a white, skimpily dressed American prone to violence wasn’t the best role model for girls. Rheal LeBlanc, head of press and external relations, said Tuesday that the appointment of Wonder Woman as an Honorary Ambassador for the Empowerment of Women and Girls would end this week, a move that comes less than two months after a splashy ceremony at the U.N., which attracted actresses Lynda Carter, who played Wonder Woman in the 1970s TV series, and Gal Gadot, who has taken on the role in the forthcoming “Wonder Woman” film. Critics said the appointment was tone deaf at a time when real women are fighting against sexual exploitation and abuse, and that there were plenty of real heroines that could be the face for gender equality. At the time of the appointment, there was no indication it would end so quickly. “It’s ending because it’s ending. And it was always meant to end,” U.N. spokesman Jeffrey A. Brez told The Associated Press. “The objective was to reach out to Wonder Woman’s fans, and I think we did a great job of that.” In a statement, DC Entertainment, which owns the Wonder Woman title, said it was “extremely pleased with the awareness that this partnership brought” as well as “elevating the global conversation around the empowerment of women and girls.” It added that Wonder Woman, who turned 75 this year, “stands for peace, justice and equality.”

NEW YORK – More than 50,000 Americans died from drug overdoses last year, the most ever. The disastrous tally has been pushed to new heights by soaring abuse of heroin and prescription painkillers, a class of drugs known as opioids. Heroin deaths rose 23 percent in one year, to 12,989, slightly higher than the number of gun homicides, according to recent government data. Deaths from synthetic opioids, including illicit fentanyl, rose 73 percent to 9,580. Prescription painkillers took the highest toll, but posted the smallest increase. Abuse of drugs such as Oxycontin and Vicodin killed 17,536, an increase of 4 percent. “I don’t think we’ve ever seen anything like this. Certainly not in modern times,” said Robert Anderson, who oversees death statistics at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The new numbers were part of the agency’s annual tally of deaths and death rates in 2015. Overall, overdose deaths rose 11 percent last year, to 52,404. By comparison, the number of people who died

Taking aspirin may decrease risk of heart attack and colon cancer Dear Doctor: If you don’t have risk factors for having a heart attack, should you be taking aspirin every day? Dear Reader: Let’s consider the risk factors, how aspirin works and the numbers. The risk factors for having a heart attack include diabetes, high blood pressure, smoking, high LDL cholesterol (the socalled “bad” cholesterol) and age. Aspirin decreases blood clotting within the vascular system by not allowing platelets to adhere to each other. This effect can be shown even with low-dose, or 81-milligram, aspirin, also known as baby aspirin. Daily use of standard aspirin has been shown to significantly benefit those who are having a heart attack and those who have had a heart attack in the past. For people who have a history of heart attacks, taking a low-dose aspirin will decrease the chance of having another heart attack by 20 percent. However, if you’re a 40-year-old who has never had a heart attack and has none of the above risk factors, your chance of having a heart attack is low. For you, aspirin will have little benefit, and may cause more harm due to increased chances of bleeding in the stomach and a small increased risk of bleeding in the brain. If you’re a 55-year-old who has good blood pressure, low cholesterol and does not have a significant smoking history, your risk also is low, so again there is little benefit to aspirin compared with its risk. If you’re 65 without risk factors, aspirin might reduce the risk of a heart attack, but that risk reduction is offset by the increased risk of bleeding in the stomach. The same is true for a 75-year-old. These
SUDOKU
ASK THE DOCTORS Robert Ashley gastric bleeds that happen with aspirin use can be severe and can lead to a need for blood transfusions. They even can cause death. If further risk factors besides age are added, then the benefits of aspirin increase. So a 55-year-old with diabetes who smokes cigarettes clearly would benefit by taking a daily baby aspirin. This benefit outweighs the risk of a stomach bleed and the risk of bleeding in the brain. More interesting – for some people, anyway – is much of the mortality benefit seen with long-term aspirin use may be in decreasing colon cancer, not in its reduction of heart attack. People who take low-dose aspirin for more than 10 years can reduce the risk of colon cancer by 20 to 40 percent, studies have shown. In fact, the mortality benefits associated with aspirin – in the general population – may be more strongly linked to a decrease in colon cancer than to a decrease in heart attacks. The bottom line: If you have low risk for a heart attack or have no family history of colon cancer, aspirin offers little benefit. • Robert Ashley, M.D., is an internist and assistant professor of medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles.

husband drinks a lot. When he does, his personality changes to the point I don’t want to be around him. He’s aware of this, but he continues to drink. Recently I caught him sneaking alcohol, so I hid the bottle. When he realized what I had done, he retaliated by letting our cat out after dark, which we don’t do because of the coyotes in our area. (We recently lost a cat to them after dark.) After he did it, “Joe” nonchalantly let me know the cat was outside. He didn’t say why he did it, but I figured it out. I know he’s an alcoholic, but isn’t this evil? It feels evil. Or is it the stunted, vindictive mind of an alcoholic? – Let The Cat Out Dear Let The Cat Out: Whether your husband’s mind is stunted, I can’t say. But what he did was, indeed, vindictive. It also was cruel. As your letter shows, alcoholism is a disease that affects not only the alcoholic, but also the people who are close to them. Whether you can continue living this way is for you to decide, but before making up your mind, you would be wise to visit some Al-Anon meetings. To find one near you, visit www.al-anon.alateen.org or call 1-888-4-ALANON. Please don’t wait. Dear Abby: I’ve been involved with a younger man for 15 years. “Grant” and I were great friends, but always kept things casual – bars, hotels, sports events. We agreed we would discuss it if we wanted to date other people and allowed each other the freedom to do so over the years, but we always would come back together. This year on my birthday I was shocked to find out through social media Grant has been in a relationship with another woman the whole time I have known him. In fact, he married her and had a baby with her. He has been lying to me since the day we met. I feel terrible not only for myself, but also for Grant’s wife. I consider him a scumbag at this point. My gut reaction was to contact his wife and spill the beans. But after I cooled down, I’m not sure if it makes sense to ruin three more lives. I just feel he should be responsible for his actions and shouldn’t get away with it. What would you do in this situation? – Burnt To A Crisp Dear Burnt: Honestly? I’d move on. Dear Abby: I work in a large medical facility that relies on nurses to attend every shift they are assigned. Last Christmas, a nurse I know called in saying her father had died. The thing is, I have known her for years, and her father has been dead as long as I have known her. Would it be snitching to tell my supervisor what I know? – Shorthanded In New England Dear Shorthanded: Yes, it would. But it wouldn’t be snitching to inform the nurse lying to get out of work not only is unfair to the rest of you, but also unprofessional.

4 GIRLS BASKETBALL: HUNTLEY 44, McHENRY 39
Red Raiders rebound for key win Finish with 8-0 run in final 2 minutes of game By TIM SIECK
sports@nwherald.com HUNTLEY – The Huntley girls basketball team wanted this one badly. After losing a close game Friday to Hampshire, the Red Raiders did not want to head into a two-week break with consecutive losses and find themselves down two games in the standings to McHenry. On Tuesday, Huntley did what it has done most of the season – start slow, keep the game close by forcing turnovers, hit some clutch 3-pointers and look to senior Morgan Clausen to hit a big shot when it needed it most.

Clausen pulled Huntley to within a point with less than 2:38 remaining, then put the Red Raiders up for good with a shot from the lane. Clausen and Missy Moffett then put the game out of reach from the foul line in the final seconds. “It was a real tight quarter for a long time and we needed to pull through,” Clausen said. “Our energy was a lot better in the second half than the first half. This was a real important win after the Hampshire game.” Huntley was led by Clausen with 14 points, and Moffett finished with eight. McHenry was led by Madi Kaempf with 11 points and Julia Rice with nine. “On paper, it looks like this game came down to the last possession, but we missed opportunities all game,” McHenry coach Rob Niemic said. “We have to be smarter with the ball and take advantage of opportunities.

Thunder find rhythm in 2nd half vs. Streaks
Score more points in the 3rd quarter than in 1st half By ALEX KANTECKI
akantecki@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A slow start against Woodstock on Tuesday was all too familiar for the Woodstock North girls basketball team. The Thunder struggled from the field, making only 4 of 18 shots in the first half, and trailed their crosstown rivals by five points at Lulu Nicks the break. “Honestly, the first half felt like it has the past three years when we play them,” Thunder senior guard Lulu Nicks said. “They come out super excited and way more ready to play than we are.” Woodstock North regrouped at halftime and forgot about the first 16 minutes. In the third quarter, the Thunder made 7 of 11 shots, scoring more points in the quarter than they did in the first

Woodstock came on Jan. 22, 2014. Nobody on the Thunder’s current roster ever had beaten Woodstock before Tuesday. North has won three straight to move to 5-5 overall and 2-2 in the KRC. “It feels better than we were expecting,” said Nicks, who led the Thunder with 13 points. “Finally for our senior year, it feels great to come in their gym and beat them here. Honestly, my favorite thing is how this team plays together. We play as a family. We win together; we lose together. It feels great.” Nicks had seven points in the first half, but the Thunder trailed, 17-12. Still, Woodstock North wasn’t out of the game after holding the Blue Streaks (2-8, 2-3 KRC) scoreless for almost nine minutes between the first and second quarters. Woodstock led 12-5 after the first quarter and was held to five points in the second on 2-of-12 shooting. “The nerves in this game, there’s so much of it for them,” Thunder coach Mike Lewis said. “I’m a part of it, but I haven’t lived it playing it like they do. There’s just so much nerves every year, it means so much to both (teams). “We knew down two possessions (at half), it’s all about our execution and
intensity, so I think we executed a lot better.” Lawrence led North’s offense in the third quarter with six points, while Madison Butler and Nicks each added four. Maddie Busch was second on the Thunder with nine points, while North went 12 of 16 from the free-throw line as a team. After she struggled in the first half and missed all five of her shots, Lawrence made all three in the third. “I just tried to keep my head in it, and my team was incredibly supportive,” Lawrence said. “We just all had to keep our heads in it because this game gets incredibly emotional. Our coach told us to stay calm and stay together, and not let this game get to us.” Woodstock was led by Gabriella Scolio with 16 points and 10 rebounds, while Camryn Tafoya added five points and Diana Spokas had four. Taylor Prerost, Cat Ramirez and Butler had four points apiece for the Thunder. “We’ve struggled all season putting a game together, and it wasn’t a different story tonight,” Woodstock coach Jen Nichols-Hogle said, “It’s one of those things where we have to keep working on it, and keeping focusing on getting better every possession.”

“We’re just really excited for the future and the vision he’s going to bring to the program. We’re really excited for what Gator football is going to be.” Bott said Ahsmann, who plans to continue teaching physics through the 2017-18 school year, did not have any input in the hiring process. However, Fontana said Ahsmann has been a mentor and will continue to be one throughout his first year as head coach. “He has been incredible for me for years,” Fontana said. “He’s one of those guys that has known that I wanted to learn everything I could from him. Any questions I ever asked, he was always there to take the time to show me. “He already told me he’s there if I need anything.” Ahsmann finished his seven seasons as head coach with a 43-28 record
and four playoff appearances. Ahsmann and Fontana also have coached together for the baseball and girls basketball programs. Fontana estimates they have coached about 20 seasons together between the three sports. Fontana will take the reins of a program that reached the IHSA playoffs 12 consecutive years from 2001 through 2012, but has made it only once (2015) in the past four seasons. “It’s going to take a lot of work,” Fontana said. “That’s one of the things we know has to change: We have to demand a little bit more from our players. But I think whatever we demand, they’re going to be willing to put forth the effort.” Rob and Jorie Fontana have three children – daughters Bella, 9, and Lily, 4; son Robbie, 7. The family lives in Algonquin.

Rob Fontana knows it’s an uphill battle in the loaded Fox Valley Conference, but he’s willing to take on the challenge. Fontana, 35, officially was hired Tuesday as head football coach at Crystal Lake South, which finished 3-6 last season and missed the playoffs. Fontana takes over for Chuck Ahsmann, who retired from coaching at the end of the 2016 season after seven years in charge of the program. “I’m really excited to jump in right now,” Fontana said. “We’ve got a good group of guys coming back. I’m grateful for the opportunity. I want to try and put South back on the map in the Fox Valley. “It’s a tough challenge. It’s going to take a lot of work, but we’ve got a good
group of guys.” Fontana has been an assistant football coach at South since 2005, with a twoyear hiatus during the 2008 and 2009 seasons when his wife, Jorie Fontana, first took over as South girls volleyball coach. Jorie still coaches the volleyball team, and by now they are accustomed to busy fall semesters. Fontana served as the Gators’ defensive coorRob Fontana dinator each of the past three seasons. He teaches physical education and driver’s education at South. He graduated from Jacobs in 2000, where he played football and baseball, and he went on to play baseball at Aurora University. “He brings a lot of passion,” South athletic director Jason Bott said.

BLACKHAWKS 2, RANGERS 1
By MARK LAZERUS
NEW YORK – If it were entirely up to him, Jonathan Toews would have been playing his usual 20-plus minutes Tuesday night against the New York Rangers, including as much time as he could get on the power play and penalty kill. Heck, if Toews operated in a hockey vacuum and didn’t have to worry about the big picture, he probably would have reJonathan turned to the ice a whole Toews lot earlier. But Toews knows as well as any player in the league how the regular season is merely a warm-up for the games that really count in the spring. And with the Blackhawks comfortably atop the Western Conference standings, there simply was no reason to rush him back from a minor but persistent back injury. “It’s at the stage in the season where you don’t want to be playing through too much, because down the road, if whatever you’ve got keeps nagging you and keeps getting worse – you want

talizing Stanley Cup Final possibility. “It’s just fun to play against the New York Rangers; it’s fun to play at Madison Square Garden,” Darling said. “A lot of this is new and exciting for me. It’s only the second time I’ve played here. It was a fun game, it was a great hockey game and a big two points.” Toews said he could play without any limitations, and that if he were to tone down his aggressive, defensive, grinding style of play, it would only leave him more vulnerable to injury. But coach Joel Quenneville kept a watchful eye on his all-important captain, and was trying to ease him back into the lineup. Toews still wound up playing 18 minutes because of the down-to-the-wire nature of the game. “I was hoping we wouldn’t get to 20 (minutes),” Quenneville said. “We’ll watch. We got everyone in the game, and four lines had some ice time there. That balance was good for us. May have been the one game all year where four lines were all playing almost equally.” Brent Seabrook also returned to the lineup after missing two games with an upper-body injury. He played 23:41, behind only Duncan Keith’s 26:05.

10 TIMBERWOLVES 99, BULLS 94
Thibs takes high road before, after win By JOE COWLEY
TIMBERWOLVES 99, BULLS 94
jcowley@suntimes.com CHICAGO – If there was a day for Tom Thibodeau’s verbal reckoning, it would have come long before Tuesday. And it would have been just. Yet, there was the former Bulls coach throughout the day, once again taking the high road on all things Gar/Pax and all things Jerry Reinsdorf. A road he traveled after the morning shootaround, and again Tom after his Minnesota Thibodeau Timberwolves overcame a 21-point first-half deficit to pull out the 99-94 win at the United Center. A much different path than all three men chose to take with him. “You know, I was trying to get to him at the Hall of Fame thing,” Thibodeau said, when asked about talking with Reinsdorf since the owner was in on his firing after the 2014-15 season. “I’ve got great respect for him. I spoke to (Jerry’s son) Michael (Reinsdorf). But at some point, I’ll sit down with Jerry.”

As far as sitting down with general manager Gar Forman and VP of basketball operations John Paxson? Again, Thibodeau did his best to downplay the breakup. “They have a job to do, I had a job to do,” Thibodeau said. “Unfortunately, we had some injuries along the way, and so it didn’t end up maybe the way we all would have liked, but I don’t have any problem with those guys.” Maybe it’s the further maturation of Thibodeau. Maybe it’s much easier to move past now that Thibodeau is

not only president of basketball operations/coach for the Minnesota Timberwolves, but at $9 million a year is likely making more than Paxson and Forman combined. That doesn’t change how badly the three men tried to ruin Thibodeau’s reputation as they shoved him out the door, however. Whether it was Forman and Paxson trying to sabotage that 14-15 season by telling players back in training camp that they didn’t need to listen to Thibodeau and take on the workload the coach expected of them – an allegation that the Sun-Times confirmed with multiple players – or Reinsdorf releasing a statement after the firing that read like one big bitter cheap shot. “When everyone is on the same page, trust develops and teams can grow and succeed together,” Reinsdorf said in the statement. “Unfortunately, there has been a departure from this culture.” Even in the news conference for the announcement of the firing, Forman described Thibodeau’s tenure as having “some success.” Sorry, but a 255-139 coaching record for a team that hasn’t had a whiff of the

NBA Finals since a certain No. 23 left for the Washington Wizards registers as something more than “some success.” Especially with the Bulls entering the game with Minnesota 55-50 since Thibodeau’s departure, and now 55-51. The Bulls (13-11) would only have themselves to blame, as they allowed the young Timberwolves (7-18) to get off the canvas and close out the first half on a 22-5 run to climb back into the game. Minnesota then outscored them, 26-19, in the third. “Before you know it, they take the lead and we’re fighting uphill,” Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg said. “When you have a team down, you’ve got to keep them down.” By the time Dwyane Wade was ejected late in the fourth quarter, it was apparent the Bulls had flinched. As far as any satisfaction in the win? “It’s all how you frame it,” Thibodeau said. “I owe these people a lot. They gave me an opportunity, and the city has been great, the organization has been great, and in the end it didn’t work out, but for the most part the way Jerry treated me for 99 percent of it was unbelievable.”

“I felt like we didn’t play very hard and we played selfish,” Rockets coach Brandon Creason said. “A lot of shots off the dribble, a lot of guys looking to get their own. In the second half, we had two possessions where we actually ran offense. It was pretty disheartening.” R-B guard Blaine Bayer hit two 3s and led his team with 13 points. Marian’s 6-foot-8 center Sam Ohlrich scored eight points and grabbed a game-high nine rebounds, while R-B’s
6-9 Joey St. Pierre scored four point and had four rebounds. “There was so much focus on the two big guys, I was confident our guards were going to have a pretty good game,” Sarther said. “Especially with Moscinski’s length, being able to hit those gaps in zone pressure. We want him to get the ball moving around, and when it gets back to him, then start going ahead and looking for his shot. He’s getting used to doing that, you can see the high end of what he can really do, scoring and putting pressure on the defense, and facilitating for his teammates.”

ON THE COVER Chewy Molasses Cookies. Recipe on page 5. AP photo
This take on the Russian tea cookie or Mexican wedding cookie blends almond flour instead of chopped nuts into the crumb, and chai spices into the final confectioners’ sugar coating. You may find slightly different totals in various online sources for a few of the ingredients; we tested using the amounts listed below.
Chai-Spiced Snowdrops 28 to 30 cookies
1½ cups all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 16 tablespoons (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1¼ cups almond flour (may substitute almond meal) For the coating 1½ cups confectioners’ sugar 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger 1½ teaspoons ground cardamom 1½ teaspoons ground allspice For the cookies: Whisk together the allpurpose flour and salt in a medium bowl. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone liner. Combine the butter, the 1/2 cup of confectioners’ sugar and the vanilla extract in the bowl of a stand mixer or handheld electric mixer; beat

on low speed to blend, then on medium-high speed for about 5 minutes, until light and fluffy. Stop once or twice to scrape down the bowl. Add the all-purpose flour mixture and the almond flour; beat on low speed to form a soft dough. Stop to scrape down the bowl. Use a tablespoon scoop to measure 28 to 30 portions, rolling each one into a ball; place on the lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Transfer a dozen of the chilled balls to a platter and return them to the refrigerator. Arrange the remaining balls on the lined baking sheet, spacing them well apart. Bake (middle rack) for about 20 minutes, until firm and slightly browned on the bottom, then transfer the bak-
ing sheet to a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes. While the first batch is in the oven, make the coating: Whisk together the confectioners’ sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom and allspice in a medium bowl. Roll each still-warm cookie in the coating and place directly on a wire rack to cool. Repeat the process with the remaining dough and some of the chai mixture. Once all the cookies are coated and cooled, re-coat them as needed in the remaining chai mixture.

Surprisingly buttery, these cookies benefit from aquafaba – the liquid from canned garbanzo beans – which recently has gained popularity as a replacement for eggs in a variety of recipes. You can use a cookie press here; if you do, refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes before using. Psyllium husk powder, derived from a seed native to South Asia and found in most natural foods stores, helps to work as a binder to create a vegan version of classic spritz cookies.
Vegan Dutch ‘Butter’ Cookies 24 to 30 servings
2 cups flour, preferably unbleached 1/2 teaspoon psyllium husk powder 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt 12 tablespoons (1½ sticks) plant-based butter substitute or margarine, at room temperature 1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup aquafaba 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Coarse sugar or sprinkles, for decorating (optional) Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners.
Combine the flour, psyllium husk powder and salt in a bowl or on a sheet of parchment paper. Combine the butter substitute and granulated sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer or handheld electric mixer; beat on medium speed for several minutes, until light and fluffy. Stop to scrape down the bowl. Add the aquafaba and vanilla extract; beat on low speed until incorporated, then add the flour mixture 1/2 cup at a time until combined, stopping to scrape down the bowl as needed. Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a 1/2-inch decorative tip, then pipe directly onto the lined baking sheets into shapes of trees, wreathes, spirals, etc. Sprinkle the cookies with sugar or sprinkles, if desired. Bake for 8 to 12 minutes or until they are lightly browned around the bottom edges. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.

The WASHINGTON POST These are the cookies that kids will love to help decorate; they begin with a store-bought gingerbread mix, but you certainly can use your own favorite firm gingerbread recipe.
Reindeer Gingersnaps 12 cookies

Photo by Dixie D. Vereen for The Washington Post
One 14.5-ounce package gingerbread mix, such as Pillsbury Gingerbread Cake & Cookie Mix 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, melted 1 large egg Flour, for the work surface For assembly: 1 teaspoon meringue powder 1/2 teaspoon hot water One 12-ounce container ready-to-spread fluffy white frosting 24 miniature candy canes
Buttercream makes sandwiches the star The WASHINGTON POST The buttercream filling is so well balanced in these sandwich cookies, you may want to take it apart, a la Oreo-eating style, to get to it. You could cut this recipe’s amount of salted caramel buttercream in half, but we think you’ll find lots of uses for it during the holidays.
Salted Caramel Sandwich Cookies 20 to 25 filled cookies
For the cookies 2 cups flour, plus more for rolling and cutting 1/2 teaspoon salt 16 tablespoons (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar, plus more for optional dusting 3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract For the filling 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar 8 tablespoons (1 stick), plus 12 tablespoons (1½ sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
24 round black licorice candies 12 sour red cherry candies For the cookies: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners. Prepare the gingerbread dough according to the package directions for gingersnap cookies, using the butter and egg. The dough will be soft. Generously flour a work surface and rolling pin. Place the dough on the prepared surface and roll it out to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Use the cookie cutter to cut out a total of 12 ovals, rerolling the scraps as needed. Space the ovals at least 2 inches apart on the baking sheets. Bake one sheet at a time (middle rack) for 8 to 10 minutes or until the cookies are set. Transfer to a wire rack (on the sheet) to cool completely. For assembly: Stir together the meringue powder and hot water in a medium bowl until well combined, then stir in the frosting until well blended. Spoon this mixture into a heavy-duty zip-top bag and seal, pressing out
as much air as possible. Use scissors to snip off one corner of the bag; this will be your decorating “tip.” Pipe one large dot of frosting mixture at the (wide) top of one cookie; then press the straight ends of two candy canes into the frosting to form antlers. Pipe another large dot of frosting on top to help hold them in place. (Prop up the candy canes until the frosting sets by placing a piece of candy beneath them.) Pipe two large frosting ovals in the center of the cookie; press one licorice candy into each oval to form eyes. Pipe one dot of frosting at the bottom of the cookie; press one cherry candy in the dot to form a nose. Repeat with the remaining cookies, some of the frosting mixture and all the candies. Let them set completely before storing (this may take as long as overnight).

Salted Caramel Sandwich Cookies
Photo by Dixie D. Vereen for The Washington Post
1/2 cup heavy cream 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon sea salt 3 to 3½ cups confectioners’ sugar For the cookies: Whisk together the flour and salt in a bowl. Beat the butter in the bowl of a stand mixer or handheld electric mixer on medium speed for 3 to 5 minutes, until fluffy. Stop to scrape down the bowl. Add the confectioners’ sugar; beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes, until pale and fluffy. Stop to scrape down the bowl, then add the vanilla extract and beat just until incorporated. Add the flour mixture; beat on low speed, stopping to scrape down the bowl as needed until the dry ingredients are just incorporated and dough stays together when pinched between your fingers. Divide the dough in half, forming into two disks; wrap each in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until firm. Meanwhile, make the filling: Combine the brown sugar, 8 tablespoons of the butter and the corn syrup in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Once the mixture starts to bubble, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until it starts to thicken (no need to stir). Carefully whisk in the cream,
vanilla extract and salt. Increase the heat to medium so the mixture returns to a bubbling state; cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring as needed, to form a smooth caramel. Remove from the heat and cool completely. Combine the remaining 12 tablespoons of butter and 3 cups of the confectioners’ sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a balloon-whisk attachment (or use a handheld electric mixer). Beat on low speed, then medium, until smooth. Stop to scrape down the bowl. Add the cooled salted caramel and beat on medium speed until creamy and thick. If the filling seems a bit loose, add some or all of the remaining 1/2 cup of confectioners’ sugar, a little at a time, beating on low speed. The yield is about 4 cups; you’ll need 1/2 to 3/4 cup for these cookies, and the rest can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. When you’re ready to bake, preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners. Lightly flour a work surface and your cookie cutter. Working with one disk of dough at
a time, roll it out to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Cut out 20 to 25 shapes with the cookie cutter and place them on the baking sheets, re-rolling the scraps as needed and spacing the cutouts at least 1½ inches apart on the baking sheets. Refrigerate until firm, at least 30 minutes. Bake one sheet at a time (middle rack) until firm and golden, 13 to 15 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining dough. It’s best to end up with an even number of cookies (pairs to create cookie sandwiches), but if you don’t, save the odd one as a snack for yourself. To assemble the sandwich cookies, turn half of them upside down. Spread or pipe the filling onto the upturned sides of those cookies. Top with the remaining cookies, then dust the tops with confectioners’ sugar, if desired.

4 Nutella devotees will find a lot to love about smoky hazelnut cookies The WASHINGTON POST Nutella lovers will appreciate the addition here of Spanish smoked paprika, which makes these cookies just different enough from the nowubiquitous versions of salted Nutella cookies. The original recipe makes a batch of 10 rather large cookies; in testing, we liked smaller cookies, and we added salt to the dough and flaky salt for sprinkling on top.
Smoky Hazelnut Chocolate Cookies 25 cookies
1 cup flour 1/2 cup granulated sugar 2 teaspoons sweet Spanish smoked paprika 1/8 teaspoon sea salt 2 large eggs 1 cup Nutella, at room temperature Scant 1/2 cup (2 ounces) hazelnuts,
skinned, toasted and coarsely chopped 1 tablespoon confectioners’ sugar, for dusting Flaky sea salt, such as Maldon, for sprinkling Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners. Combine the flour, granulated sugar, 1½ teaspoons of the smoked paprika and the 1/8 teaspoon of sea salt in a mixing bowl. Add the eggs, mixing with a wooden spoon to form a dough. Add the Nutella and hazelnuts, working to form a smooth dough and mixing for no more than 2 minutes. Divide the dough into 25 equal portions, then use your palms to roll them into balls. Position the balls on the baking sheets at least 2 inches apart. Bake one sheet at a time (middle rack) for 8 to 10 minutes, until the cookies have spread and are crisp around the edges, with a few cracks on top. While the cookies are still warm, sprinkle them with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of
smoked paprika, the confectioners’ sugar and the flaked salt. NOTE: To skin hazelnuts, bring a few inches of water to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add about 1 teaspoon of baking soda and then the hazelnuts. Boil for several minutes, until the water turns dark brown and the skins begin to easily peel off the nuts. (You can test one by removing it from the pot, running it under cool water and seeing how well the skin slips off.) Drain the water from the nuts and let them cool until you can handle them, then use your fingers to remove the skins. Toast the nuts on a baking sheet in a 350-degree oven for 8 to 10 minutes, until golden and fragrant, shaking the pan about halfway through. Cool completely before using.

Holidays equal platters and tins of festive-looking cookies. Cookies with colored icing, cookies with sprinkles, cookies with fillings, cookies with layers. An artistic cookie display is a thing of beauty, that I’ll not argue, but I’ll reach past the whole lot if I see a flat, modest, quiet molasses cookie. This is my cookie, not much to look at compared to its flashy holiday brethren, but pliant and spice-scented and, to my mind, kind of perfect. Because the butter is melted in this recipe, you can just as easily mix them up with a spoon or a rubber spatula as an electric mixer. And also go for dark brown sugar, which contains more molasses. Don’t overbake these cookies (unless you want crispy molasses cookies – then go right ahead and add another couple of minutes). They will keep for three or four days in an airtight container. And they are good contenders for shipping; separate layers with wax or parchment paper, place additional crumbled paper in the bottom and top of the container to fill it, and make sure the

In a medium-size bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, ginger, baking soda, cloves and salt. In another large bowl, combine the butter, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar and molasses. Beat in the egg. Beat in the dry ingredients; the dough should be fairly stiff. Refrigerate the dough for about 2 hours. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Scoop the dough up by heaping tablespoons and roll them into balls. Roll the balls in the remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar and place them 2 inches apart on a baking sheet (about 12 cookies per baking sheet). Using the bottom of a glass, flatten the cookies to about 1/4-inch thick, 2½ inches in diameter. Bake for 7 or 8 minutes just until set. Remove the cookies from the baking sheet and cool on a wire rack. Repeat with the rest of the dough.

FFL License. 815-338-4731 Another good book is “Six Steps to Winning Declarer Play” by Jay Apfelbaum (Master Point Press). It is purportedly aimed at intermediate players, but these 52 declarer-play problems would really tax my intermediate students; even the better players would trip up occasionally. The analysis of each deal is comprehensive. The author advises that declarer always ask himself six questions: How many tricks can I take right now? How many tricks can the defense take right now? Where can I get more tricks? Where can the defense get more tricks? How many tricks do I need for a good score? (More relevant in a pair event, where overtricks can be so valuable.) What is the best way to play the contract? Apply those to this deal from the book. South is in five diamonds, and West leads his trump. Note that three no-trump makes only if West leads a spade. Now let’s answer Apfelbaum’s questions. South has eight top tricks. The defenders have two. There are three ways to try for extra tricks: establish hearts, take a winning spade finesse or ruff spades on the board. The defense will triumph if declarer does not or cannot find a successful line. To score well, South needs to get home. It should be clear from the bidding that ruffing spades on the board is the best line. Win the first trick in hand, cash the spade ace, ruff a spade, play a club to the ace, ruff a second spade, cash the club king, ruff dummy’s last club and trump the spade queen. South wins one spade, two clubs, five diamonds in hand and three ruffs in the dummy.
