Good morning, McHenry County ...

Story of year lists fun, subjective

By now, you’ve probably seen some of our stories of the year lists.

We started on Monday with our top overall news stories of the year. On Tuesday, we published our top local news stories of 2016.

Today in Sports, we publish our list of the Top 10 regional sports stories of the year, which of course is topped by the Chicago Cubs ending their 108-year drought by winning the 2016 World Series championship. That’s about as obvious a choice as they come.

But what about the Cubs taking the No. 1 spot in our top overall news stories list, ahead of Donald Trump’s improbable and unconventional campaign to win the White House? There was a lot of discussion inside Northwest Herald offices about that one.

I thought Trump’s election victory was deserving of our top overall story of 2016. Many others argued that the U.S. presidential election occurs every four years, while the Cubs won the World Series for the first time in more than a century.

I lost that argument, at least within the walls of the Northwest Herald.

The Associated Press released its top news stories list last week, and Trump’s presidential

election win “was the overwhelming pick for the top news story of 2016,” the AP said. A distant second in the AP list was Britain’s “Brexit” vote to leave the European union, which came in at No. 6 in our overall list.

Of course, lists like these are subjective.

They’re fun discussions to have but, in the end, everyone’s personal list will be a little bit different.

We wrap up our lists with two on Thursday, top local sports and top entertainment stories.

And on Friday we’ll publish our favorite staffshot photographs of the year.

Let me know how you think we did with our lists, whether we missed anything or were way off base with our order.

Therapy dogs used for motivation, recovery across McHenry County

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com When a therapy dog visits a hospital, the first reaction it brings out in people is a big smile, said Katherine Feuillan, a certified therapeutic recreation specialist with Centegra Hospital.

“They accept you as you are,” Feuillan said of the dogs. “They want to please you, and they’re just so kind

and gentle. The patients really respond to that.”

The visits not only serve as a destresser to patients and workers, but the dogs also can be used as motivation and healing tools, Feuillan said.

By recognizing their dog has the right demeanor, and going through the correct certification, dog owners in McHenry County have found ways to

CRYSTAL LAKE – A local nursing student is headed to Haiti in about a week and a half to help treat the sick.

And you can help this holiday season by hooking her up with medical supplies or the money to buy them.

Kailee Kruse, a senior at Chamberlain College of Nursing in Addison, is part of a 12-student team chosen to attend the school’s annual humanitarian aid trip.

She and her fellow students will go to the impoverished nation on Jan. 8 and help run rural and urban clinics until Jan. 22.

Kruse, 22, has gotten an early start when it comes to helping people. She is an EMT who worked for A-TEC Ambulance in Crystal Lake, and earned her CNA so she could care for her grandmother while attending college to get her bachelor’s degree in nursing, which she will achieve this August. Chamberlain, which runs 20 for-profit nursing colleges nationwide, chose Kruse to be its Midwest representative on the trip after a screening and interview process.

She said she decided that her calling was international aid during a trip to Texas near the Mexico border to screen and give medical aid to people entering the U.S. “I’m into doing international relief as the end goal … I like how medicine is approached differently. There are specialties at a hospital in our country, but when you do international stuff, you have to do all the specialties. You have to be everybody – you’re kind of like the ‘medical person,’ you’re not just one specialty,” Kruse said.

When it comes to international relief, Haiti needs all it can get. The island

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Parents who have incoming kindergarten students for the 2017-18 school year are invited to attend informational meetings on Crystal Lake Elementary District 47’s dual-language program.

The meetings are presented in both languages. On Jan. 31, a presentation spoken in English will be from 6 to 7 p.m. followed by the presentation in Spanish from 7:15 to 8:15 p.m. On Feb. 2, a presentation spoken in English will be from 9:15 to 10:15 a.m. followed by the presentation in Spanish from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m.

News sent to your phone Sign up for school district text alerts from the Northwest Herald at shawurl.com/ textalert. Message and data rates apply.

The dual-language program integrates native English-speaking students with Spanish-speaking students for academic instruction. Classrooms typically consist of a minimum of onethird native English speakers and a

maximum of two-thirds native Spanish speakers. Dual-language classrooms start more focused on Spanish until third grade, where both Spanish and English are equally addressed.

School District 47 currently offers dual-language programs at Coventry, Canterbury, North and Hannah Beardsley Middle School. When registering a student into the program, parents and guardians are asked to commit their child to the program until they graduate eighth grade.

2016 took heavy toll on hearts, psyches 2016, you can’t be gone soon enough.

Merriam-Webster declared “surreal” to be the word of the year for 2016.

The dictionary website defines “surreal” as “marked by the intense irrational reality of a dream.” Its synonyms are “unbelievable” and “fantastic.”

That seems fitting.

After all, I still have to pinch myself every time I think about the Chicago Cubs winning the World Series. After a 108-year championship drought, the Cubs winning it all seemed like an impossible dream. Yet, there it was.

Granted, it took an epic series with an improbable rain delay to make it happen, but what else could we have expected?

Oh, and there were wonderful moments during the Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, particularly in seeing Evan Jager, a graduate of Jacobs High School, take silver in the 3,000-meter steeplechase. Maybe Evan could hear all of us screaming with joy all the way to Rio. Sadly, these bright spots were few

and far between. Or at least it seemed that way to me.

My sadness began in January, when one of my favorite artists, David Bowie, succumbed to cancer at age 69. That was followed quickly by the death of one of my favorite actors, Alan Rickman. Then Eagles lead singer Glenn Frey and actor Abe Vigoda.

And that was just January. Unbelievable.

Subsequent months would bring more deaths in every facet of life: government (Antonin Scalia, Janet Reno, Nancy Reagan, John Glenn), sports (Muhammad Ali, Gordie Howe, Joe Garagiola, Bud Collins, Buddy Ryan, Arnold Palmer, Craig Sager), literature (Umberto Eco, Harper Lee, Elie Wiesel, Pat Conroy, Edward

Music had some of the biggest losses, with notable deaths in just about every genre: classical (Pierre Boulez, Neville Marriner), country (Merle Haggard, Sonny James, Guy Clark), bluegrass (Ralph Stanley), rock ’n’ roll (Paul Kantner, Keith Emerson, Greg Lake, Leon Russell), world (Papa Wemba, Juan Gabriel), blues (Lonnie Mack, Mose Allison), jazz (Toots Thielemans, Pete Fountain, Buddy Hutcherson), folk (Fred Hellerman) and R&B (Maurice White, Sharon Jones).

We also lost familiar faces from TV and film: Dan Haggerty, Pat Harrington, George Kennedy, Patty Duke, Garry Shandling, Garry Marshall, Florence Henderson, David Huddleston, Robert Vaughn, Zsa Zsa Gabor and Alan Thicke.

As if all of this weren’t enough, my poor heart still aches from the

passing of actor Gene Wilder, musicians Prince, Leonard Cohen and George Michael, as well as former Tennessee women’s basketball coach Pat Summitt, who valiantly battled Alzheimer’s disease.

And then there’s news that my beloved Princess Leia, actress Carrie Fisher, died Tuesday after suffering a heart attack.

Enough already, 2016.

While you’re at it, why don’t you take with you all your savage, divisive rhetoric, that ridiculous Illinois state budget standoff and your unnecessary political gridlock that serves absolutely no one.

Tree of Life to host early New Year’s Eve party NORTHWEST HERALD

McHENRY – A Unitarian congregation is offering an option for families and adults who want a New Year’s Eve night out without staying up all night to celebrate.

The Tree of Life Unitarian Universalist Congregation, 5603 Bull Valley Road in McHenry, will host its second annual New Year in Greenland celebration beginning at 6:30 p.m. Saturday.

“We will order in Chinese carryout. There will be a plentiful variety of liquid refreshment,” host and organizer Don Metivier said.

“There will be conversation, board

games, funny hats and noisemakers.

At the stroke of 9 McHenry time (midnight in Greenland) we will break out the champagne, sing ‘Auld Lang Syne,’ and head home to get a good night’s sleep,” he said.

There is no set cost for the event, but donations are encouraged.

“Donate whatever you might have spent on an evening out, whether that would be the price of a burger at a fastfood place or a fancy hotel package,” Metivier said. “No one will be turned away.”

Contact the church office so that take-out orders can be placed at office@treeoflifeuu.org or call Metivier at 815-322-2464.

Algonquin honored for outstanding village budgeting practices NORTHWEST HERALD ALGONQUIN – The Village of Algonquin has been recognized for outstanding budgeting for the 13th consecutive year.

The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) announced that the Village of Algonquin has received the GFOA’s Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for its Fiscal Year 20162017 budget.

Algonquin officials said the village also received a special performance measures recognition for illustrating a clear link of operational data to financial decision making.

“Algonquin’s annual operating and capital budget is the single most important policy document the village adopts,” Village President John Schmitt said in a statement.

“By receiving this award, it demonstrates that the village adheres to best

practices in financial management, which allows us to continue to provide efficient and reliable services to the community.”

Budget documents must be rated “proficient” in all four scoring categories, and the 14 mandatory criteria within those categories, to earn the award. Approximately 1,500 entities nationwide received the award.

The GFOA award criteria helps effectively guide budget development for elected officials and staff. Through this effective financial planning, Algonquin has lowered its 2016 property tax levy by 2.3 percent, village officials said.

Algonquin’s Fiscal Year 2016 – 2017 budget represents a balanced $45 million financial plan that features $16.4 million in capital infrastructure investment.

The budget document is available for viewing online at www.algonquin. org/VillageManager.

Guy Stedman (left) of McHenry gets a visit Dec. 15 from dog handler Eleanor Jackson of Woodstock and her 7-year-old therapy dog, Elsa, at Centegra Hospital – McHenry.

• THERAPY DOGS

Continued from page A3 use their pets to help anyone from a patient in a hospital, a child with autism in class or a senior in their home.

Carol Skala of Huntley brings her 12-year-old Portuguese water dog, Sam, to Centegra’s facilities, working mostly with patients who are in rehabilitation.

A patient might not want to walk 200 feet down the hall, but when Sam comes

in, taking the dog on a walk makes the task easier, Skala said.

Sometimes patients use flashcards with the dog or tell the dog commands to work on speech skills, Skala said.

“The one thing I come back to is that the dog gives them hope,” Skala said on why the dogs are effective. “[Patients think,] if a dog can understand me, soon a person will be able to, too.”

Feuillan said there are about 40 dogs

and handlers part of the Caring Paws Animal Assisted Therapy Program.

Visits are made at Centegra’s three hospitals in McHenry, Woodstock and Huntley, and the Centegra Neuro-Rehabilitation Center and the Gavers Breast Center. Feuillan said the program could always use more handlers and dogs, and interested people can call 815-759-4626 to register for an upcoming workshop.

Aside from hospital visits, Skala and Sam also visit Crystal Lake Elementary District 47 ASPIRE program classes for students who have autism.

When Skala and Sam walked into an ASPIRE class with first- through third-graders during one of their weekly visits, the whole class sat patiently on the floor as they waited to pet the dog.

The school’s occupational therapist, Stephanie Olson, set up the therapy dog visits at the school about a year ago, she said. Aside from being fun, the visits give students motivation, and help them practice their patience skills and learn about community safety.

Students ask to pet Sam before they touch him. No matter how many students pet or hugged the dog, he stayed calm, even lying on the floor and rolling over for a belly rub at one point.

ASPIRE teacher Kelly Mosolino said

her students’ faces light up when Sam comes in the classroom.

“Sometimes you don’t feel that connection with the kids because they’re internal with their sensory needs,” Mosolino said. “But you see some of that attention come out, and they bond with the dog in a different type of way.”

Skala also will write stories about Sam for the students to read, and play games such as having the students pick a color for her and Sam has to find it in the classroom.

Another group that benefits from therapy dogs is seniors.

Jackie Smith, senior companion program coordinator with Senior Services Associates, said the center has one handler and therapy dog pair who make home visits, but it’s looking for more. People interested in being part of the program can call Smith at 815344-3555.

Dave Rigby, of Johnsburg, brings his 7-year-old yellow Labrador, Peter Pan, to the home of a senior in Hebron through Senior Services Associates’ program. Being part of a therapy dog program helps people who are lonely, and brings joy to everyone Peter Pan visits, Rigby said. “[Dogs] just bring so much joy, and it makes people just kind of open up – they’ll talk, they’ll relax,” Rigby said.

“If you just come up to talk to somebody, sometimes it can be kind of hard, but it seems like all walls just crumble when Peter walks in.”

DeKalb cops play Santa’s helpers on Christmas

By DREW ZIMMERMAN

dzimmerman@shawmedia.com DeKALB – The three children who had to leave their home early Christmas morning because of a domestic dispute were worried whether Santa Claus would find them.

The children, ages 7, 10 and 12, and their mother were referred to Safe Passage’s emergency shelter for the night. But the DeKalb police officers who handled the call that night, and their colleagues who were working alongside them – 11 officers in all – took the initiative to make sure there was something waiting for them Christmas morning.

“We basically had a whole shift of officers taking it upon themselves to help out the kids,” DeKalb Police Chief Gene Lowery said.

Police officers took up a collection and called the Walgreens in Sycamore, which was the only store they could find that was open at 2 a.m. Christmas morning. There, they bought about $200 worth of presents for the children.

Store employee Rebecca Ginley, who was working that morning, said she was touched by the officers’ generosity and amazed by the effort they took in finding the right gifts.

Ginley said she was in tears after the officers explained the situation to her.

“Rebecca is a really valued employee that does a great job for the customers, which is great to find for an overnight shift,” Walgreens store manager Debbie Nottingham

said. “This just makes you understand that being open 24-7 can make a difference.”

Officers then wrapped the gifts at the police station and delivered them to the shelter before the children woke up.

Police Cmdr. Craig Woodruff said it’s not uncommon for officers to go out of their way to help. He recalled a time last year when an officer helped to buy a new dress for a DeKalb High School freshman whose dress was stolen the day of the homecoming dance.

The officer who bought the dress, Jon Jursich, also was one of the officers who helped this cause.

“Anytime we see something where we can make a difference, we do it,” Woodruff said.

“We like to help whenever we can.”

Officers who were involved with the generous act included Sgt. Paul Mott and Officers Jursich, Aaron Gates, Josef Gordon, John Loechel, Keunte Mallett, Steven Parsons, Jordan Poulos, Sadie Pristave, Allison Remnes and Charles Verdone.

“Hopefully, we brought some peace and happiness to this sad experience,” Mott said.

He said there were no arrests made in connection with the domestic incident.

“They could’ve walked away from the call and still done their job, but their actions went above and beyond,” Lowery said. “I’m very proud of them for showing compassion and concern, and it truly is a reflection of those officers and how they do their job.”

Beloved father of Thomas L. (Kay), Kenneth

By GREGORY KATZ The Associated Press

LONDON – British author Richard Adams, whose 1972 book “Watership Down” became a classic of children’s literature, has died, according to his daughter. He was 96.

Juliet Johnson told The Associated Press on Tuesday that Adams died in Oxfordshire, England, on Christmas Eve after getting progressively weaker in recent weeks.

“He died of what used to be called old age,” she said, adding that her father also suffered from a blood disorder.

Adams’ lyrical and poignant novel about the plight of rabbits whose home was under threat became an astonishing success after it was published. Popular with both children and adults, it has since sold millions of copies and was made into a film, with a remake scheduled for next year.

It entered the popular imagination and has never been forgotten.

Adams dreamed up the elements of “Watership Down” while working as a civil servant and regaling Juliet

and her sister Rosamond with stories about rabbits. He would tell them the stories at bedtime and on car trips, often embellishing the tales while driving the girls to school.

Johnson said the characters he described were “a bit more babyish, more simplified” than the ones that turned up in the finished book.

“I think for Dad, that was just the beginnings,” she said of his oral storytelling. “It took him two or three years. He took a lot of trouble writing that book.”

Johnson said there are at least three earlier versions of the book filled with his handwritten changes and notes.

When the manuscript was completed, it was rejected by publishers seven times until its publication in 1972.

Adams wrote seven other novels after his first success and often asserted that his 1974 novel “Shardik” was a better book.

“Watership Down” was made into a movie in 1978. Adams went on to write other books, including “Shardik,” “The Plague Days” and “The Girl in the Swing.”

(Susan) Sweinberg and Linda (Thomas) Roessl. Proud grandpa of Amy (Damon) Busse, Lindsay (Bill) Wians, Jennifer (James) Lovejoy, Nicole, Brian and Christine.

Loving great-grandpa of Emma, Otto, Daniel and Franklin.

In addition to his wife, Tom was preceded in death by his parents, Fred and Mabel (Nee Dennington) Sweinberg; and his brothers, Frederick and Leroy.

After high school, Tom served in the CCC’s from 1939-1941 when WWII broke out. He entered the U.S. Army in 1942 as a Private First Class and served as a mechanic in the South Pacific from Dec. 1943 thru Dec. 1945. After the war, he returned home to Wilkes-Barre where he met Sadie Morren when both worked in the local lace mill. They married in April 1951. Tom & Sadie moved to Milwaukee, WI after hearing about better job opportunities from Tom’s brother, Leroy.

Tom was hired in plumbing and heating maintenance for Nordberg retiring after 33 years. In addition to passing on his skills and knowledge to his children, the Masons and Tripoli Shrine Temple were a big part of Tom’s life. He and Sadie enjoyed parties, fund-raisers, and especially parades and circus events where Tom played a drum and marched with the Shrine Oriental Band. When he was not volunteering with the Shrine he was always busy maintaining and improving our house and assisting others with his carpentry and plumbing skills. Given his experience in the CCC’s and Army, he could fix or make just about anything which included a complete interior rebuild of our childhood home on Milwaukee’s south side.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – A historic, curse-busting sports achievement topped Illinois’ biggest news stories in 2016, as the Chicago Cubs won a World Series championship for the first time in 108 years.

But from there, Illinois’ biggest news stories descended again into dysfunction and corruption, from Chicago’s rising violence to the state entering its second year without a budget agreement and two former congressmen running afoul of the law.

Here are the Associated Press’ Top 10 Illinois stories of 2016: 1. The Chicago Cubs win the World Series with a heart-stopping, Game 7 victory in extra innings after a rain delay. The championship breaks the longest drought in Major League Baseball, and ends the Billy Goat curse and other superstitions that fans long believed had stood in the way. Slugger Kris Bryant wins the National League’s Most Valuable Player award.

2. Chicago’s gun violence spikes again, with August going down as the city’s deadliest month in two decades and well over 700 people killed by the time the year ended. Among the victims were NBA star Dwyane Wade’s cousin, Nykea Aldridge, who was shot while pushing her baby in a stroller, and U.S. Rep. Danny Davis’ grandson, Javon Wilson, who was shot after an argument over a pair of basketball shoes.

3. The state enters an unprecedented second year without a budget, leaving service providers unpaid and thousands

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Officials study recorder after Russian plane crash

SOCHI, Russia – Investigators recovered the flight-data recorder from a crashed Russian military plane Tuesday and began reviewing its contents to learn why the jet went down moments after takeoff, killing all 92 people aboard, including members of a famous choir.

The Tu-154 crashed into the Black Sea early Sunday two minutes after departing in good weather from the city of Sochi.

The plane was carrying members of the Alexandrov Ensemble, widely known as the Red Army Choir, to a New Year’s concert at a Russian military base in Syria.

Meanwhile, rescue workers raced to wrap up their efforts to recover bodies and wreckage ahead of predicted bad weather.

The work has involved 3,500 people, including about 200 navy divers flown from Russia. Aided by drones and submersibles, teams have recovered 12 bodies and numerous body fragments.

Navy to commission USS Gabrielle Giffords

MOBILE, Ala. – A naval program that has become a target for critics is preparing to commission the USS Gabrielle Giffords, named for the U.S. politician who survived an assassination attempt in 2011.

The USS Gabrielle Giffords, constructed by Austal USA in Mobile, Alabama, has completed

testing in the Gulf of Mexico and is scheduled to be commissioned in mid-2017. The company handed over the $475 million ship to the Navy on Friday.

Giffords was shot in the head during a mass shooting in Arizona in 2011 and helped christen the ship in 2015. It’s part of a hotly debated program that congressional critics slam as flawed and too expensive but that Navy leaders defend as a critical new step in naval warfighting.

More Americans retiring outside of the U.S.

Newly widowed, Kay McCowen quit her job, sold her house, applied for Social Security and retired to Mexico. It was a move she and her husband, Mel, had discussed before he passed away in 2012.

“I wanted to find a place where I could afford to live off my Social Security,” she said. “The weather here is so perfect, and it’s a beautiful place.”

She is among a growing number of Americans who are retiring outside the U.S. The number grew 17 percent between 2010 and 2015 and is expected to increase over the next 10 years as more baby boomers retire. Just fewer than 400,000 American retirees are living abroad, according to the Social Security Administration. The countries they have chosen most often: Canada, Japan, Mexico, Germany and the United Kingdom.

Japan leader: My condolences for lives lost at Pearl Harbor

By JOSH LEDERMAN and CALEB JONES The Associated Press

PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii – In a historic pilgrimage, the leaders of Japan and the United States took to the hallowed waters of Pearl Harbor on Tuesday to prove that even the bitterest enemies can become allies. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe did not apologize, but conceded Japan “must never repeat the horrors of war again.”

Seventy-five years after Japan’s surprise attack sent America marching into World War II, Abe and President Barack Obama peered down at the rusting wreckage of the USS Arizona, clearly visible in the tranquil, teal water. More than 1,000 U.S. war dead remain entombed in the submerged ship, and in a show of respect, Obama and Abe dropped purple petals into the water and stood in silence.

“As the prime minister of Japan, I offer my sincere and everlasting condolences to the souls of those who lost their lives here, as well as to the spirits of all the brave men and women whose lives were taken by a war that commenced in this very place,” Abe said later at nearby Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam.

That was the closest Abe would get to an apology for the attack. It was enough for Obama, who also declined to apologize seven months ago when he became America’s first sitting president to visit Hiroshima, where the U.S. dropped an atomic bomb in a bid to end the war. It was enough, too, for Alfred Rodrigues, a U.S. Navy veteran who survived the attack.

The 96-year-old said he had no hard feelings

and added, “War is war.”

“They were doing what they were supposed to do, and we were doing what we were supposed to do,” Rodrigues said before the visit.

Abe, who became Japan’s first leader to visit Pearl Harbor with a U.S. president, said the visit “brought utter silence to me.” His remarks capped a day that was carefully choreographed by the U.S. and Japan to show a strong and growing alliance between former foes.

They started with a formal meeting at another nearby military base, in what the White House said was likely Obama’s last meeting with a foreign leader before leaving office in January. It was a bookend of sorts for the president, who nearly eight years ago invited Abe’s predecessor to be the first leader he hosted at the White House.

Obama, speaking after he and Abe laid green-and-peach wreaths at the memorial, called the harbor a sacred place and said that “even the deepest wounds of war can give way to friendship and lasting peace.” It’s a notion Obama tried throughout his presidency to put into practice, as he reached out to former adversaries Iran, Myanmar and Cuba.

“As we lay a wreath or toss flowers into waters that still weep, we think of the more than 2,400 American patriots, fathers and husbands, wives and daughters, manning heaven’s rails for all eternity,” Obama said.

Then the two leaders greeted survivors in the crowd. They shook hands and hugged some of the men who fought in the Dec. 7, 1941, battle that President Franklin D. Roosevelt called a “date which will live in infamy.”

‘Star Wars’ princess Carrie Fisher dies

By HILLEL ITALIE

The Associated Press NEW YORK – No one could make us laugh through the pain like Carrie Fisher. The daughter of Hollywood stars Eddie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds, and a survivor of early fame, drug addiction and bipolar disorder, she wrote with unsentimental wit and understanding about her private struggles and about an industry she was raised in but stood apart from.

Fisher, known to the world as Princess Leia of “Star Wars,” died Tuesday at 60, four days after falling ill aboard an airline flight. Media reports said the actress had suffered a heart attack.

“I do believe you’re only as sick as your secrets. If that’s true, I’m just really healthy,” she said in a confessional 2009 interview with The Associated Press.

The public fell in love with her twice: as Princess Leia and as the wry truth-teller of such books as “Postcards From the Edge,” “Wishful Drinking” and “The Princess Diarist,” in which she revealed having an intense affair with “Star Wars” co-star Harrison Ford.

Fisher told plenty of secrets about others – about her parents’ breakup when she was 2, about being advised

by Warren Beatty on wearing a bra in “Shampoo,” and about arguing with then-husband Paul Simon about whether it was better to be a man or a woman.

Asked by NPR recently why she wrote about her fling with Ford, who was 15 years older and married, she joked that she could hold back no longer because he had refused to die: “I kept calling and saying, ‘When are you going to die because I want to tell the story?’”

But she was toughest on herself and unafraid to turn trauma into humor. She became the most knowable of celebrities, with a great and generous gift for bringing us into her unusual life.

“One of the therapists came in to admit me and asked how long I had been a drug addict,” she wrote in “Postcards,” her autobiographical novel that became a movie of the same name. “I said I didn’t think I was a drug addict because I didn’t take any one drug. ‘Then you’re a drugs addict,’ she said. She asked if I had deliberately tried to kill myself. I was insulted by the question. I guess when you find yourself having overdosed, it’s a good indicator that your life isn’t working.”

She is survived by her mother; her daughter, Billie Lourd, from a relationship with talent agent Bryan Lourd; her brother, the actor-filmmaker Todd Fisher; and her half-sisters, actresses Joely and Tricia Leigh Fisher. Her father died in 2010.

AP file photo

Carrie Fisher arrives April 7, 2011, at the 2011 NewNowNext Awards in Los Angeles.

A publicist said Fisher died at age 60.

Born and raised in Beverly Hills, Carrie Fisher was a bookish child who had difficult relationships with both parents.

In a celebrity breakup that made headlines everywhere in 1958, Eddie Fisher left his family for Elizabeth Taylor.

Eddie Fisher was hardly present in his daughter’s early years, and Reynolds’ second husband, shoe store magnate Harry Karl, was even worse. He squandered his own money and Reynolds’ on gambling and prostitutes and left the actress and her children broke and devastated.

Carrie Fisher went into the family business early – too early, she would later say. She was performing on stage by age 12 and appeared with Reynolds in the 1973 Broadway revival “Irene.” She was still a teenager when she made her feature film debut in “Shampoo” in 1975.

Even after “Star Wars,” Fisher would speak often of feeling overshadowed by her mother and about the need to break away, a conflict dramatized in “Postcards From the Edge.”

Mother and daughter were estranged for years but reconciled later in life and came to admire each other’s talent and determination. “Bright Lights: Starring Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher,” an HBO documentary, is scheduled for release in 2017.

Fisher’s film credits included a wide range of spoofs, musicals and romantic comedies, from “Austin Powers” and “The Blues Brothers” to “Hannah and Her Sisters” and “When Harry Met Sally.” Meryl Streep was the star when “Postcards From the Edge,” with a screenplay by Fisher, was adapted into a film of the same name in 1990. Shirley MacLaine played Streep’s mother, the stand-in for Reynolds.

from a resolution calling settlements a “flagrant violation” of international law, allowing it to pass by a 14-0 margin.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has had a cool relationship with Obama, called the resolution “shameful” and accused the U.S. of playing an active role in its passage.

On Tuesday, his spokesman went even further.

“We have ironclad information that emanates from sources in the Arab world and that shows the Obama administration helped craft this resolution and pushed hard for its eventual passage,”

David Keyes said. “We’re not just going to be a punching bag and go quietly into the night.”

He did not identify the Arab sources or say how Israel obtained the information. Israel has close security ties with Egypt, the original sponsor of last week’s resolution who, as the lone Arab member of the Security Council, was presenting it at the Palestinians’ request. Under heavy Israeli pressure, Egypt delayed the resolution indefinitely – but other members presented it for a vote a day later. Egypt ended up voting in favor of the measure.

JERUSALEM – Doubling down on its public break with the Obama administration, a furious Israeli government on Tuesday said it had received “ironclad” information from Arab sources that Washington actively helped craft last week’s U.N. resolution declaring Israeli settlements in occupied territories illegal.

The allegation, which was denied by the State Department, further poisoned a toxic atmosphere between Israel and the outgoing administration in the wake of Friday’s vote, raising questions about whether the White House might take further action against settlements in President Barack Obama’s final weeks in office.

With the U.S. expected to participate in an international peace conference in France next month and Secretary of State John Kerry planning a final policy speech Wednesday, the Palestinians hope to capitalize on the momentum. Israel’s nationalist government is banking on the incoming Trump administration to undo the damage with redoubled support.

Although the U.S. has long opposed the settlements, it has generally used its Security Council veto to protect its ally from censure. On Friday, it abstained

spokesman Mark Toner said Kerry would lay out his vision for Israeli-Palestinian peace in the speech Wednesday. “He feels it’s his duty in his waning weeks and days as secretary of state to lay out what he believes is a way to a peaceful two-state solution in the Middle East,” Toner said.

Toner also rejected Israeli allegations of conspiring against it, saying Egypt and the Palestinians drafted the resolution and the U.S. worked with them on the language only after the intention to go forward was clear. “The idea this was pre-cooked in advance is not accurate,” he said.

The Obama administration has acknowledged that it considered the possibility of abstaining on a settlements resolution over the past year as various drafts were circulated by different countries. In announcing the abstention, U.N. Ambassador Samantha Power referred to continued Israeli settlement construction and a recent effort to retroactively legalize dozens of illegally built settlement outposts.

A White House official said the U.S. was approached repeatedly by countries urging it to let the resolution pass, yet only replied by saying the U.S. would feel forced to veto any resolution that didn’t also criticize the Palestinians for inciting violence.

ANOTHER VIEW

Nuclear boast may follow Obama’s plan There’s no good place to start a nuclear arms race – and Twitter is an especially bad venue.

So it’s unfortunate that President-elect Donald Trump last week tweeted his desire for the U.S. to “greatly strengthen and expand its nuclear capability,” then followed up the next day by saying, “Let it be an arms race.”

It’s hard to know exactly what Trump means – such are the limitations of communication via 140 characters or off-the-air phone calls to morning-TV hosts – but it’s possible he is simply referring to the need to continue the U.S.’s nuclear modernization program. In the 2016 federal budget, President Barack Obama laid the groundwork for a $1 trillion overhaul of the nation’s nuclear arsenal: warheads, missiles, bombers, submarines, targeting systems and the Department of Energy’s huge research and development system.

The plan has some flaws. Not all three legs of the “nuclear triad” (missiles on subs, planes and buried in the ground) are in need of an upgrade, for example: Intercontinental ballistic missiles are part of a Cold War deterrence strategy based on mutually assured destruction. Meanwhile, the accuracy of submarine-based missiles vastly has improved in the past several decades. And a plan to create a new nuclear cruise missile that could be launched from a bomber and directed at a target up to 1,500 miles away may be too risky.

For the most part, however, the plan is well conceived and necessary, to deter both major powers such as Russia and China and hostile smaller nations intent on joining the nuclear club such as Iran.

It would leave the U.S. with 700 deployed ICBMs, subs and bombers capable of delivering nuclear warheads – the maximum allowed under the second Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty with Russia, which is set to go into force in 2018.

Russian President Vladimir Putin responded to Trump by saying that, if the U.S. started an arms race, Russia would respond. Yet he, too, already is embarking on a rebuilding of what were the Soviet Union’s nuclear forces.

One tweet does not official U.S. policy make – at least not yet. When Trump does begin to translate his statements about nuclear weapons into actual plans, he could do worse than staying the course that Obama has set.

ANOTHER VIEW

Agreement on infrastructure There weren’t many points of agreement between the two contenders in the brutal 2016 presidential campaign, but the need to invest in infrastructure offered a rare moment of harmony.

That’s why we expect Congress to put forward a massive public works bill, an issue that should receive strong bipartisan support.

Since Election Day, the president-elect has renewed his commitment to this kind of investment, and his rhetorical focus has been on building roads, bridges and airports, a 21st-century reprise of the massive interstate highway system project started during the Eisenhower administration.

That kind of investment is important, but the new administration should not stop there.

It’s time for a real 21st-century infrastructure program, one that

focuses on bringing high-speed, broadband internet to rural areas.

Reliable internet service is as important to economic development today as the highway system was in the 1950s. Connecting rural areas to the world creates business opportunities in places that have lost traditional jobs.

More people move to areas that have high-speed internet capacity, and they often bring jobs with them.

Broadband investment also provides more opportunities to start new businesses, and not just ones in “tech” fields. Retail, hospitality, agriculture, medicine and a wide range of other enterprises rely on their ability to share information quickly and dependably.

A strong commitment to rural infrastructure would bring the economic recovery into

areas that have been left behind during the economic recovery that started in 2009.

Internet expansion has a proven impact on economic development. According to a study by the Information & Technology and Innovation Foundation, 250,000 jobs are created for every $5 billion in infrastructure development; with every percentage point increase in new broadband distribution, employment expands by 300,000 jobs.

A major infrastructure program that puts significant resources into rural broadband will do for 21st-century America what the highway program did for this nation in the 20th.

Legislators should keep pushing to let the whole country benefit from the economic opportunity that has been unleashed by the information revolution.

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.

Mr. Pucinski appears to think Mr. Franks’ Cut 10 campaign caused municipalities to hold or reduce levies, mentioning McHenry, Grafton and Algonquin townships and the city of McHenry.

I cannot speak for the other entities, but can speak to the city’s action. The city held a flat levy these past five years and led in doing so long before Mr. Franks ever came up with his campaign slogans. I and others have advocated for the city to reduce its levy for years and can reference 2014 talks made before the council before my election. The decision to reduce our levy came after discussions and proposals to Finance Committee and City Council. Not once was Mr. Franks’ campaign slogans mentioned or even thought about, certainly not by myself.

I believe, rather than Mr. Franks leading, he is merely following a trend that already has been in process for years.

After all, others actually have done something to reduce levies, whereas Mr. Franks only has talked and produced literature. While I support all efforts to hold and reduce levies, let’s not overstep

5-year-old reminds of what truly is important at Christmas

To the Editor: On Thursday, my wife and I took my grandson, Vincent, over to Goodwill to get some winter boots. As we were getting ready to leave the house, Vincent asked about Goodwill. We explained to him that people donate items to Goodwill so that others may have a chance to buy and use them. As we were leaving, Vincent came out of his room with a bag. In it were some toys. He told us he no longer played with them and wanted to give them to Goodwill so some other child could play with them. His decision was a total surprise, as Vincent, who will be 5 in January, is an only child and does not always share as well as we would like. At Goodwill, he handed over his bag of toys and told the young lady he wanted other kids to play with them. She was quite taken by Vince’s donation and I was holding back the

would be condemned to uncertainty, leaving our political discourse rife with accusations of corruption. These problems are exacerbated by the fact that Trump regularly has declined to make his business dealings or tax returns transparent. Thus a specter of skewed incentives will haunt a Donald Trump presidency.”

The irony is Trump’s ethics critics are trying to spare him a political debacle while his enablers fail to warn him of dangers that could end his presidency. (“If Trump deliberately declines to cure his continuing violation of the emoluments clause upon entering office, Congress has both power and responsibility to enforce the constitution. It would be well within its rights to impeach and remove him for engaging in ‘high crimes and misdemeanors.’ ”) Tribe offers a concrete suggestion for Congress.

He recommends legislation “requiring all presidents to divest assets that risk conflicts of interest and to

place the proceeds in a truly blind trust, and by creating a private cause of action explicitly allowing competitors disadvantaged by the president’s acceptance of unlawful benefits to file emoluments clause suits against the president in his personal capacity.”

Throw in mandatory release of tax returns for the past 10 years, and we might finally see the swamp recede.

Trump’s mercurial, vindictive personality and preference for bullying already have had one dramatic, immediate consequence: Those who might save him from himself are loath to step forward to level with him about retention of his businesses.

The most recent example of such self-destructive behavior was 1974, when another GOP president with an unhealthy psyche handed his enemies the means to bring him down.

Woodstock government doesn’t need a TIF to raise property tax money for developers. Thanks to its taxpayer-funded purchase of early Home Rule status, Woodstock can borrow or tax unchecked millions at the stroke of Mayor Brian Sager’s Bic. This is the first post-election test of our Springfield representatives. Do they represent taxpayers or special interests? Jack Franks, here is your big chance to help significantly lower the local property tax burden. You must know some people in Springfield.

WASHINGTON – Ethics gurus Richard Painter and Norman Eisen may have full-time employment during a presidency distinguished in its transition by its blithe indifference to foreign meddling in our democracy and by its own glaring conflicts of interest. They have put together a handy video to explain President-elect Donald Trump’s most egregious conflict of interest, namely the imminent violation of the express words of the Constitution regarding receipt of foreign payments.

Stephen Bannon or Reince Priebus would be smart to sit Trump down to watch the legal admonitions. As the experts explain, the emoluments clause on Jan. 20 becomes an ongoing source of scandal, illegality and distraction. Allowing Trump to keep his foreign sources of income – and his domestic ones, for that matter – amounts to an invitation for graft.

Mall brawls send shoppers scrambling for exits The ASSOCIATED PRESS BEACHWOOD, Ohio – Fights broke out at malls around the country Monday night, sending shoppers, who were looking for post-holiday deals, scrambling for the exits.

No one was seriously injured in the mall melees, which, during the panic, also prompted numerous false reports of gunfire.

Police in Ohio told Cleveland.com that officers used pepper spray to disperse a large crowd after a fight at an upscale shopping mall in Beachwood, just outside of Cleveland.

A report of shots fired was later determined to be unfounded.

One boy was arrested for allegedly trying to hit an officer during the incident, which police said appeared to have been “loosely organized on social media.”

There were similar disturbances at malls around the country, including in New York, New Jersey and North Carolina, where chaos erupted at a mall in Fayetteville and emergency medical personnel were called in to assist someone who had a medical episode while fleeing.

In Memphis, Tennessee, police arrested several people after fights at two malls there. No one was injured and no gunshots were fired, despite reports indicating otherwise.

“Somebody yelled ‘gun!’ and youths stampeded through the mall,” Deputy Chief Terry Landrum told The Commercial Appeal.

Police officers continue to patrol the area as people linger Monday in the parking lots around Oak Court Mall after the mall was closed because of a disturbance in Memphis, Tenn.

Denver, evacuated a mall due to multiple skirmishes.

The trouble reportedly began during an arrest when an unruly crowd surrounded the scene.

Aurora police spokesman Sgt. Chris Amsler said that as the suspect was

being taking into custody, the crowd, which mushroomed in size to about 500 people, advanced on the officer and fights broke out. Five juveniles were arrested. No one was hurt.

In Aurora, Illinois, a mall there was temporarily shut down because of a

large disturbance. Videos posted on Twitter showed mall security trying to get the situation under control.

There was no official word on whether any of the fights, which were also reported in Arizona, Texas, Indiana and Connecticut, were connected.

LOS ANGELES – Garry Shandling died from a blood clot in his heart, coroner’s officials said Tuesday more than seven months after the comedian’s unexpected death.

A report by Los Angeles’ coroner’s officials released Tuesday states the fatal clot occurred after the comedian developed blood clots in his legs. The comedian had not been feeling well during a trip to Hawaii, the report stated. Shandling died March 24 after calling paramedics to his home.

Los Angeles coroner’s officials had delayed issuing their determination of what killed the 66-year-old until after a review of his medical records and toxicology tests were completed.

George Michael mourned by boyfriend, ex in London

British actor Benedict Cumberbatch arrives April 15, 2015, to host the Laureus World Sports Awards in Shanghai, China. The first of three new episodes of “Sherlock” will be broadcast Sunday on BBC TV in Britain and on PBS in the United States, with Cumberbatch once again taking on the role of Sherlock Holmes.

‘Sherlock’ returns with murder, mystery - and a baby LONDON – There’s something rotten in Baker Street.

It might just be the diaper of baby Rosamund Watson, whose arrival at the start of the fourth season of “Sherlock” disrupts the relationship between brilliant, demanding detective Sherlock Holmes and his long-suffering friend Dr. John Watson.

The offspring of John and his enigmatic wife Mary – with Sherlock as a somewhat skeptical godfather – is one of the few things program-makers are willing to reveal before the first of three new episodes airs Jan. 1 on the BBC in Britain and on PBS in the United States.

“The unofficial alternative title for episode one is ‘The Three Watsons,’ because the baby changes the dynamic,” said Mark Gatiss, the show’s co-creator. But, he stresses: “Not in a cutesy way.”

Fears of domestic coziness are quickly banished in the opening episode, officially titled “The Six Thatchers.” Its central whodunit involves half a dozen plaster busts of former Prime Minister Margaret “Iron Lady” Thatcher.

That’s just the starting point for 90 minutes of virtuosic puzzle-solving, prickly friendship and the spectacular return of ghosts from one character’s past.

The new episodes pick up where the previous season left off almost three years ago. Since then, fans have had to make do with a one-time special last year that took the characters back to their Victorian roots.

The show’s success means Benedict Cumberbatch, who plays Holmes, and his Watson, Martin Freeman, are in huge demand, and “Sherlock” must fit around their other projects. Cumberbatch jumped back into Holmes’ deerstalker hat right after finishing work on the Marvel adventure “Doctor Strange.”

LONDON – As mourners kept on flocking Tuesday to George Michael’s home in north London, the singer’s former longtime partner and his current boyfriend both spoke of their sadness at his death.

The boyfriend, hairstylist Fadi Fawaz, told the Telegraph newspaper on Tuesday he found the 53-year-old singer dead in bed when he arrived at Michael’s house on Christmas Day so they could attend a holiday lunch together.

“Everything had been very complicated recently, but George was looking forward to Christmas, and so was I,” Fawaz said.

“Now everything is ruined. I want people to remember him the way he was. He was a beautiful person.”

Michael’s former partner Kenny Goss, who was with the singer for many years, said in a statement that he was “heartbroken” by the death of his longtime love.

“He was a major part of my life, and I loved him very, very much. He was an extremely kind and generous man,” Goss said.

Writer gets threatened after Fox News interview

NEW YORK – A woman involved in a heated debate with Fox News Channel’s Tucker Carlson over Ivanka Trump said Tuesday that she’s received thousands of angry responses, including being threatened with rape on Christmas Day. The reaction to Lauren Duca, a writer for Teen Vogue magazine, is the latest example of how ugliness in political discourse didn’t end with the election. Duca has been sharing several of the responses to her TV appearance on social media.

She was a guest on Carlson’s show Friday to discuss an incident where Donald Trump’s daughter was verbally accosted while traveling on an airplane with her family. Duca had tweeted that Ivanka Trump’s role in the incoming administration was fair game for discussion.

The segment was knocked off-kilter, however, when Duca agreed with Carlson that it was wrong for Ivanka Trump to be confronted on an airplane.

Study finds patients with women doctors have slightly higher survival rates, less chance of being re-admitted to the hospital

By LINDSEY TANNER The Associated Press

CHICAGO – What if your doctor’s gender could influence your chance of surviving a visit to the hospital?

A big study of older patients hospitalized for common illnesses raises that provocative possibility – and also lots of questions. Patients who got most of their care from women doctors were more likely to leave the hospital alive than those treated by men.

The differences were small – about 11 percent of patients treated mostly by women died within 30 days of entering the hospital, versus 11.5 percent of those treated by men. But the all-male research team estimated there would be about 32,000 fewer deaths each year in the U.S. if male physicians performed at the same level as their female peers.

The study didn’t probe why there might be these differences in survival.

And Dr. Ashish Jha, the lead author, said the study doesn’t mean patients should avoid him and all other male physicians.

But he said male doctors could take a cue from women doctors’ tendencies that might contribute to better care.

According to other research, women doctors are more likely than men to follow treatment guidelines, provide preventive care more often and com-

All were treated by general internists in the hospital. The researchers compared results in patients who got most or all of their care from women internists with those who got most or all of their care from men.

Most patients survived and were sent home within a month of treatment. But in addition to better survival chances, those treated by women doctors were slightly less likely to be re-admitted to the hospital within that first month.

On average, women doctors were in charge of fewer patients and some of their patients weren’t as sick as those of male doctors, but the researchers considered those factors and still found a link between doctors’ gender and patients’ survival differences.

Britain OKs making babies from DNA of 3 people in some cases

By MARIA CHENG

The Associated Press LONDON – Britain’s fertility regulator has approved controversial techniques allowing doctors to create babies using DNA from three people – what it called a “historic” decision to help prevent a small number of children from inheriting potentially fatal diseases from their mothers.

The regulator’s chair, Sally Chesire, described it as a “life-changing” moment for families who might benefit from the treatment.

“Parents at very high risk of

having a child with a life-threatening mitochondrial disease may soon have the chance of a healthy, genetically related child,” she said in a statement.

The new procedures are intended to fix problems linked to mitochondria, the energy-producing structures outside a cell’s nucleus. Faulty mitochondria can result in conditions including muscular dystrophy, major organ failure and severe muscle weakness.

Last year, Britain changed its law to permit scientists to modify eggs or embryos before they are transferred

into women, becoming the first country to legally approve the techniques.

In September, U.S.-based doctors announced they had created the world’s first baby using such techniques, after traveling to Mexico to perform the methods, which have not been approved in the United States.

To help women with mitochondria problems from passing them down to their children, scientists remove the nucleus DNA from the egg of a prospective mother and insert it into a donor egg from which the donor DNA has been removed. That can happen before or after fertilization.

The resulting embryo ends up with nucleus DNA from its parents but mitochondrial DNA from a donor.

The DNA from the donor amounts to less than 1 percent of the resulting embryo’s genes.

But Britain’s decision to approve using the new methods will not open the floodgates to genetically modified babies. Clinics will need to apply to Britain’s fertility regulator for permission to use the techniques on a case-by-case basis. The decision was made after five years of reviewing the development, safety and efficacy of the procedures.

Weighing the benefits of fish oil Dear Doctor: I have been taking fish oil capsules daily the past five years. Is there any benefit in doing this?

Dear Reader: The short answer is “maybe.” Scientists have shown societies with higher fish intake have lower rates of heart disease. The belief is this benefit comes from fish oil. Fish oil contains substances known as long-chain fatty acids (omega-3 fatty acids), specifically DHA, DPA and EPA, with many health benefits.

These fatty acids help lower blood triglyceride levels; lower blood pressure (by 1.5 to 4 points); and have an ability to help the heart relax so blood flows more easily into its chambers. Furthermore, the omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil also have been linked to a slightly slower heart rate and to a decrease in inflammation.

Small studies have shown fish oil might be linked to a slight reduction in the formation of plaque in the arteries that supply the heart, but evidence of its ability to reduce the rates of heart attack hasn’t been as robust or as statistically significant.

One fish oil finding that was indeed statistically significant was from a large study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 2006.

That study linked fish oil intake of 250 milligrams per day to a 36 percent reduction in rates of sudden cardiac death.

That amount – 250 mg of fish oil – equals one to two servings of fish per week.

One other property fish oil might have is an ability to reduce electrical excitability of the heart. That reduced excitability may decrease the heart’s chances of going into an abnormal rhythm, which can lead to death. Furthermore, among people who have had a heart attack, 1 gram of fish oil per day has been linked to a significant

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Robert Ashley decrease in death rates. The benefits of fish oil have been seen as early as four months after a heart attack and even as late as 36 months after a heart attack.

Again, this appears to be related to fish oil’s potential protective effect against abnormal heart rhythms after a heart attack.

Fish oil hasn’t been shown to decrease the chance of a stroke. Nor has it been shown to decrease the risk or incidence of cancer. In fact, some studies have shown a correlation between fish oil and prostate cancer, but other studies have failed to support that connection.

In summary, fish oil does appear to decrease the chance of sudden cardiac death, but you don’t need to take capsules to see this benefit. Eating fish twice a week can do that.

Before you turn to eating tuna fish from a can, keep in mind tuna has much less omega-3 fatty acids than Atlantic salmon, mackerel or herring. If you don’t care for fish, taking 1 gram of a fish oil supplement twice a week likely will yield a benefit. If you’ve had a heart attack, consider taking 1 gram of fish oil a day.

apparent you can’t change your husband.

The only thing you can change is yourself.

If you find the strength to do that, your circumstances will change.

Because you say your life is unbearable, stop bearing it. Talk to a lawyer and set yourself free.

Dear Abby: My 33-year-old son has mental problems. He is moving out to live with a guy he has been talking to on the internet and who has met him once.

His father and I are against it, not because of their homosexuality but because we are afraid it’s a dangerous situation.

We have learned the guy was arrested three years ago on three different charges.

He says he was cleared, but refuses any background checks or fingerprinting for jobs and/or government housing.

When we tried to talk to our son and explain the dangers, he became irate and blamed everything on us. He has no driver’s license and has threatened to take off. He also has threatened suicide.

We have asked him to consider talking to a psychiatrist, but he refuses. He does see a psychologist every three months, and he’s supposed to be on medication, which he refuses to take.

How can we deal with this? His psychologist won’t talk to us unless my son gives the OK. – Desperate Worried Mother Dear Desperate: Because your son is an adult, unless he is a danger to himself or others, there is nothing you can do to prevent him from leaving.

However, you can write his psychologist a letter letting him/her know what is going on and address your concerns. There is a chance your son might pay more attention to what his therapist says than to you.

An organization that might be of help to you is The National Alliance on Mental Illness, accessible at www.nami.org. It may be able to provide you with the guidance and emotional support you need.

What to watch College football: Pinstripe Bowl, Northwestern vs. Pittsburgh, ESPN James Conner, Pittsburgh’s star running back, announced he would skip his senior season and declare for the NFL draft and also play for the Panthers (8-4) against Northwestern (6-6) in the Pinstripe Bowl. He bucked the 2016 trend of draft prospects bypassing a bowl game to protect their NFL futures for one last game with his teammates.

ALGONQUIN – The first thing on Jacobs center Cameron Krutwig’s checklist before the season was for the Golden Eagles to win their own Hinkle Holiday Classic.

So it was not surprising that Krutwig, who had eight points, six rebounds and two blocked shots in the first quarter, appeared a little extra pumped for Tuesday’s championship game against Prairie Ridge.

“It was circled on the calendar,” the 6-foot-9 senior said.

Krutwig delivered with a big-time performance and had plenty of help as Jacobs defeated the Wolves, 61-49, at the Eagles’ Nest, winning its tournament for the first time since 2008.

Cameron’s brother, Conrad, was a senior on the 2008 team that won it, and was on the bench as an assistant coach Tuesday.

“It’s awesome, from my brother to me, that means something for sure,” said Krutwig, who finished with 21 points, 18 rebounds and seven blocks with one of his future assistant coaches from Loyola watching. “I just want to keep going with this team. I love these guys. I want to keep winning and playing.”

The key for Jacobs (12-0) was handling Prairie Ridge’s 1-2-2 zone pressure. Late last season, the Wolves ate up Jacobs with that pressure, but not Tuesday. The Eagles halted Prairie Ridge’s 10-game winning streak in large part by committing only 12 turnovers.

“When you play them, you have to pass and catch it,” Eagles coach Jimmy Roberts said. “We just got better (since last year). That game they got us by 20 or 25 and it got ugly. We feel good about our guards; we really like our guards.

That’s why we go play the competition we do in the offseason. It showed with our guards tonight.”

Point guard Nik Balkcom and his backup, Ajani Rodriguez, both took care of the ball well against the Wolves’ pressure.

“Before the game, we talked about this could go one of two ways, we could have five turnovers going in at halftime, and we’d be up by eight or 10, like it was,” Jacobs guard Cooper Schwartz

Jacobs won, 61-49. said. “Or we’d have double-digit turnovers and it would be a grind-out game where we’re trading baskets.”

Prairie Ridge (10-4) kept it close through most of the third quarter until Jacobs went on a 10-0 run to make it 4528. The Wolves got no closer than nine points the rest of the way.

“They handled the ball well, they spread us out, they gave their big kid some room inside,” Wolves coach Corky Card said. “And he’s pretty good.”

shammond@shawmedia.com MARENGO – A few days removed from scoring 80 points in an E.C. Nichols Holiday Classic quarterfinal, the Rockets couldn’t score a bucket when they needed it most.

Richmond-Burton did not score a field goal in the fourth quarter of Tuesday’s semifinal, and Genoa-Kingston took its first lead of the game at the 4:54 mark of the final frame en route to a 48-44 Cogs victory.

Genoa-Kingston advances to face Rochelle in the championship game at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday. Richmond-Burton will face Rockford Christian in the third-place game at 6 p.m. Wednesday.

“They played harder than we did, and that was the ballgame,” R-B coach Brandon Creason said. “They rebounded harder, they defended harder, we just give them credit. We were lackadaisical, and they took it to us.”

R-B’s four fourth-quarter points all came at the free-throw line.

The Rockets led by as much as 10 midway through the third quarter. The Cogs went on a 3-point shooting tear, draining four long-range shots before the end of the third to cut R-B’s lead to three.

“That’s been the theme this year: We build a lead and then we don’t build on top of it,” Creason said. “Other teams step up their effort and we just, we get more complacent.”

The Rockets had won three in a row entering Tuesday and scored 80 points in a quarterfinal win over Harvest Christian on Friday. That scoring did not return Tuesday.

With the score tied in the final minute, G-K’s Griffin Hansen gave his team the lead with a basket in the paint. On R-B’s next possession, Jake Kaufman’s

Richmond-Burton did not score a field goal in the fourth quarter. The Rockets’ four points all came at the free-throw line.

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

Genoa-Kingston and Rochelle will play for the E.C. Nichols Holiday Classic championship Wednesday. G-K has won the tournament once before, in 1975. Rochelle never has won the event, which is in its 67th year.

3-point attempt caught the front iron and fell to the Cogs. G-K’s Zach Miller scored a fast-break layup to all but seal the victory.

“We were disciplined on offense,” G-K coach Corey Jenkins said. “We get any shot we want when we moved the ball. We get in trouble when we stand and dribble and kind of size things up. I thought we moved the ball pretty well tonight and hit some big shots.”

The Cogs had only three turnovers in the game. R-B turned it over 13 times.

Justin McNeal led G-K with 16 points, Bailey Foley scored 10 and Miller finished with nine.

For R-B, Joey St. Pierre scored 16 points and point guard Blaine Bayer had 13. St. Pierre and Brady Gibson led the way with six rebounds each.

“Early, we were playing hard, we were hustling, getting boards, running down the court,” Gibson said. “At one point, we just went flat, stopped hustling, stopped hitting the boards.”

“It’s the same issues we’ve had all year,” Creason added. “We have to play every night, and sometimes we’re just stuck in a rut where we just don’t compete.”

4 GIRLS BASKETBALL: ALDEN-HEBRON CHRISTMAS TOURNAMENT

A-H can’t keep up with Harvest Christian Giants’ game plan to slow pace works early, then fizzles

By ALEX KANTECKI

akantecki@shawmedia.com HEBRON – Alden-Hebron slowed things down on offense to stick close to Harvest Christian at the start of Tuesday’s Alden-Hebron Christmas Tournament girls basketball game.

And, for the first eight minutes, the Giants’ strategy worked.

But when Harvest Christian switched from a zone press to a fullcourt, man-to-man pressure defense in the second quarter, A-H’s game plan went out the window.

A rushed – and at times, frantic – offense for the Giants could not keep up with the Lions, who scored 29 points in the second quarter en route to a 65-37 victory in the tournament opener.

“We decided to start the game out slow, keep it under control to help keep our turnovers down,” said A-H assistant coach Fred Shepston, taking over for Marty Hammond (prior commitment).

OUTSIDE THE BOX SCORE q UNSUNG HERO

Wanderer was second on the team with nine points, but what really stood out for the undersized guard was her physical play on the glass. The 5-foot-4 sophomore grabbed 10 rebounds for the Giants.

q THE NUMBER Points by Harvest Christian’s Alyssa Iverson on 10-of-19 shooting

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

Alden-Hebron freshman Rachel Pahl, a 5-foot-5 guard, entered in the fourth quarter and made the most of her time, scoring four points and hauling in six rebounds in limited action.

“We wanted a low-scoring game, and it was working. The zone press was pretty easy to beat, but when they applied man-to-man, our girls felt like they needed to run with them.”

Junior guard Alyssa Iverson did most of the scoring for Harvest Christian (8-3), beating the Giants to the right over and over again. The shifty guard finished with 29 points on 10-of19 shooting.

Iverson had 18 points by halftime, while A-H had only 12 as a team.

“We ended up going to a 3-2 defense, but against a good team like that, you have to play man-to-man,” said Giants guard Eden Wanderer, who had nine points and 10 rebounds and played most of the game against Iverson.

“We needed No. 20 (Iverson) to stay away from the basket at all costs. We tried, but she had that breakaway. She had a move where she would hesitate and then go to the basket. It got me every time.”

The Giants went on a 7-0 run in the first quarter to take the early lead, 7-5, but Harvest ended it on an 8-2 run, including three straight layups by Iverson, for a 13-9 lead heading into the second.

Harvest Christian scored 29 points on 10-of-16 shooting in the second and led 42-12 at half.

“We had a game plan for her (Iverson),” Shepston said. “Everyone was in a help defense, but we put one girl on her solely to deny her [by keeping her to] her left. Every time we kept her left, she either gave up the ball, lost the ball or missed. Every time we let her go right, she scored.

“She would dribble, hesitate and make our girl stop, and then blow right

by her.”

The Giants (6-5) outscored the Lions, 25-23, in the second half, led by three 3s from senior guard Tally Lalor.

She ended with a team-high 13 points on four 3s and added four assists.

Emily Webber finished with six points and 10 rebounds, and freshman Rachel Pahl added four points and six rebounds.

“We have a lot of young kids on the team, so the pressure can get to them sometimes,” Lalor said. “But they definitely handled it better in the second half. We’re used to a quick game, but they (Harvest) were quicker than us.”

The Giants, who are off to a 2-1 start in the Northeastern Athletic Conference, likely will have to knock off Harvest Christian later in the season for any realistic chance at the conference title.

They also would like to get another regional title after winning their first in 2015 and coming one win away from repeating last season. Almost half of A-H’s roster is underclassmen, but Webber and Lalor both were named all-conference as juniors.

“Coach (Hammond) says we have a good chance at regionals this year,” Wanderer said. “I think we have a good chance.”

TOP 10 REGIONAL SPORTS STORIES

Compiled by Northwest Herald

he Cubs’ World Series victory over the Cleveland Indians in seven games tops the Northwest Herald’s list of Top 10 regional sports stories of 2016.

The end of the North Siders’ long championship drought leads a list that includes the Bulls parting ways with Derrick

Cubs win the World Series

The story of the curse-breaking 2016 Cubs captivated the nation for most of the fall. For the Chicago area, the tale began far earlier with the demise of the upstart 2015 Cubs, who surprised everyone by reaching the National League Championship Series.

Although that version of the North Siders fell short, it provided the long-suffering fan base with reason for optimism.

After signing Jason Heyward and John Lackey away from the rival St. Louis Cardinals, and re-signing outfielder Dexter Fowler at the last possible moment, the Cubs entered 2016 with more buzz than any season in recent memory. They lived up to the hype with a 103-win regular season, equaling the franchise’s best since 1910.

Once October rolled around, there was drama all along the way.

The Cubs overcame a threerun deficit in epic fashion during Game 4 of the National League Division Series against the San Francisco Giants, clinching the series in the process. They erased a 2-1 series deficit against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS and finished off the team’s first pennant since 1945 at Wrigley Field.

If that wasn’t enough, the Cubs vanquished an even larger deficit against the Cleveland Indians in the World Series, trailing 3-1 before winning Games 5 and 6 to pull even.

Then there was Game 7 in Cleveland.

An early Cubs hitting surge, a late-inning meltdown, the soon-tobe legendary rain delay with a pep talk, the extra-inning victory. For many fans, the words still sound AP file photo foreign nearly two months later: Cubs pitcher Jake Arrieta (center right with a finger in the air) and outfielder Kyle Schwarber (far left) wave to The Cubs won the World Series. fans during a parade outside Wrigley Field honoring the World Series champions Nov. 4 in Chicago.

Bulls dump Rose, Noah

For so many years, the Bulls came close with point guard Derrick Rose and forward Joakim Noah. Their breakout season in 2010-11 ended with a loss in the Eastern Conference finals to LeBron James and the Miami Heat. Despite some promising seasons, the Bulls have not made it that far since.

Bulls management signaled the end of an era when it traded Rose to the New York Knicks and let Noah go in free agency.

Chris Sale

White Sox trade Sale, Eaton

The Bulls weren’t the only team initiating a change in direction in 2016.

The White Sox traded ace Chris Sale to the Boston Red Sox in early December, a move that returned a treasure chest full of prospects.

For the White Sox, it likely means a full rebuild.

They traded outfielder Adam Eaton a day later, and it’s possible more moves will come in the near future. With Sale already gone, it’s conceivable that any or all of the Sox’s household names could be the next to go.

Patrick Kane

Kane becomes 1st American-born to win Hart Trophy

The Blackhawks’ star broke the American record with a 26-game point streak during the 2015-16 regular season and earned the Art Ross Trophy as the NHL scoring champion, becoming the first American to do so. Kane capped it off by taking home the Hart Trophy as the NHL’s MVP last summer, also a first for an American-born player.

Kris Bryant

Bryant named NL MVP

2016 was a great year to be Kris Bryant. Just before the new year he got engaged to his girlfriend, he won the 2016 World Series and capped it off with the 2016 National League MVP award. Not too bad for the 24-year-old slugger. Bryant won the MVP voting by a wide margin, with Daniel Murphy of the Washington Nationals finishing second and Corey Seager of the Dodgers taking third.

Cubs outfielder and catcher Kyle Schwarber tore his ACL in an early-April game. Out for the season, right?

Not quite.

Schwarber’s epic return from injury for the World Series will rank among the best in baseball history. It didn’t have the drama of Kirk Gibson’s home run in 1988 or Curt Schilling’s bloody sock game in 2004, but Schwarber’s return was historic in its own right. His first hit of the season came on a double in Game 1 of the World Series, a first in Series history for a nonpitcher. Schwarber reached base in 10 of his 20 plate appearances with two runs and two RBIs.

Lovie Smith

Lovie Smith hired by Illinois

New 37-year-old Illini athletic director Josh Whitman wasted no time, firing football coach Bill Cubit on his first official day on the job in March. Many thought it was a foolish move with all the big-time college coaches already gobbled up in the December coaching carousel. Whitman had a trick up his sleeve.

He persuaded former Bears coach Lovie Smith, recently fired by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, to come back to the state of Illinois – where every young football player knows his name. The Illini went 3-9 in his first season, but the jury still is out on whether Smith can turn around the program.

Bulls sign Rondo, Wade

After the departure of Noah and Rose, the Bulls signed free-agent guards Dwyane Wade and Rajon Rondo. Bulls fans often have eyed Wade, a Chicago native, as a possible free-agent target. He began his two-year contract at the age of 34, and some fans criticized the Bulls for signing two stars who many see as past their primes. The Bulls are 15-16 so far this season.

Bears’ worst season in a decade

Speaking of the Bears, maybe it’s better not to.

In the second year under coach John Fox, Chicago’s NFL team is

crawling through what could be its worst season in at least a decade. If the Bears finish 4-12, it will be their worst season since 2002. If they lose the final game of

the season and finish 3-13, three wins will mark the worst season (discounting the 3-6 finish in the strike-shortened 1982 season) since 1973, when they finished 3-11.

A trying 2016 for the White Sox began with bizarre headlines during spring training when LaRoche retired after a dispute about whether his 14-year-old son, Drake, should be spending every day in the clubhouse. The Sox moved on without LaRoche, and the designated hitter left $13 million on the table by not playing the final AP file photo year of his contract.

Continued from page 4

Continued from page 5 belly as Anisimov tapped in the puck for his 15th goal of the season – a welcome return for the center who had missed the past three games with an upper-body injury. Kane and Artemi Panarin had the assists.

“That line’s been productive and effective, and he’s had a great year so far,” coach Joel Quenneville said of Anisimov. “He certainly enhances our team offensively, and [he’s] reliable defensively.”

It wasn’t exactly a perfect return from the trio. Despite the goal, the

Tournament in Hebron, Taylor Glenn scored 15 points for the Giants (2-9) in a loss for the hosts.

Logan Grove added 11 points for A-H, and Cam Norton and Mason Mindham had eight points apiece.

Harvard 70, Alden-Hebron 61: At the Alden-Hebron Christmas Tournament in Hebron, the Hornets made nine 3s to win their tournament opener. Roy Amaya Jr. led Harvard with 26 points on 10 field goals, including three 3s, while Eric McDowell had 14 points and two 3s. Jesse Oros (two 3s) and Fernando Rivera added eight points apiece.

Logan Grove had 16 points and a pair of 3s to lead A-H (2-10), which fell to 0-2 in the tournament. Taylor Glenn added 13 points and Austin Stauss had 12 points for the Giants, who made only 10-of-26 free throws in the defeat.

Niles Notre Dame 56, Dundee-Crown 39: At the Wheeling Wildcat Hardwood

Classic in Wheeling, Jack Orndahl had 14 points and four 3s for the Chargers in a loss. Tariq Burns added nine points, Bradley Stec had six and Gabriel Bergeron added five for D-C.

WRESTLING Evanston Holiday Tournament: At

Evanston, McHenry had six individual champions.

Winning their weight classes for the Warriors were Lucas Busse (126 pounds), Andrew Hertel-Pence (138), Kerick Mesa (145), Jaden Glauser (170), Jake Leske (182) and Geoff Cagle (285).

McHenry finished second overall at the 17-team event with 243 points.

Evanston won with 276.5 points.

Also for the Warriors, A.J. Sweeney (220) placed second, Matt Gutierrez (113) and Dominic Rossier (152) took third, and Jeremy Komers (132) was fifth.

Hawks were chasing the puck most of the time they were on the ice. After his nice play set up Anisimov’s goal, Kane had his pocket picked by Dustin Byfuglien, who was denied by Crawford on the ensuing breakaway. Kane later had a nice drive to the net, but curiously sent a pass backward to nobody rather than take the open shot.

The Jets scored the back-breaker at 2:27 of the third period when an ill-timed change of Brian Campbell for Seabrook coincided with a Hawks turnover in the neutral zone, allowing Drew Stafford to burst through the middle of the ice and slip the puck past Crawford for a 3-1 Jets lead.

SPORTS BRIEF

LeBron James named AP Male Athlete of Year

CLEVELAND – LeBron James, who ended 52 years of sports heartache by bringing Cleveland a championship and used his superstar platform to address social causes, was chosen as The Associated Press 2016 Male Athlete of the Year, an award he won previously in 2013.

Results of the vote by 59 editors from AP member newspapers and customers were announced Tuesday. James collected 24 first-place votes, beating out a pair of Olympic legends: Michael Phelps (16) and Usain Bolt (9), the fastest men in water and on land who are not accustomed to finishing behind anyone.

Bills fire coach Rex Ryan ahead of last game of season

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. – Rex Ryan’s inability to back up his boasts of building a bully – particularly on defense – in Buffalo led to the Bills firing their high-profile coach one game short of completing his second full season.

Terry Pegula, who made Ryan’s hiring his first big splash as owner, was the person who informed Ryan of his dismissal Tuesday. The decision came three days after a 34-31 overtime loss to Miami which eliminated Buffalo (7-8) from contention, and extended the NFL’s longest active playoff drought to 17 years.

Jackson, Jeanie Buss say they have ended engagement

NEW YORK – New York Knicks President Phil Jackson and Lakers executive Jeanie Buss have ended their engagement.

Jackson tweeted a statement Tuesday night in which the couple said because of their professional obligations and geographic distance, “sustaining the relationship has been difficult.” They added that they had shared wonderful moments and “expect to remain supportive of each other in the future.”

Sager-themed pins benefiting foundation to go on sale

NEW YORK – A collection of Craig Sager-themed pins will go on sale Thursday at Foot Locker, with all net proceeds benefiting the SagerStrong Foundation.

Sager and his wife, Stacy, partnered with Foot Locker on the PINTRILL pin pack a few months ago, and Stacy felt the project should move forward after the popular sideline reporter died of leukemia Dec. 15.

“Each of the pins reflects Craig’s vivacious personality, unstoppable spirit and passion for life,” Stacy said in a statement.

“They are a fitting tribute to his memory and I know that Craig would want nothing more than to find a cure for cancer.”

COLLEGE FOOTBALL BOWL ROUNDUP

HOLIDAY BOWL Minnesota 17, Washington St. 12: At San Diego, after a few days of turmoil and perhaps more to come, Minnesota played lights-out in shutting down Luke Falk and Washington State (8-5).

Shannon Brooks caught a tipped pass from Mitch Leidner for a 13-yard, go-ahead touchdown in the third quarter and Minnesota, mired in controversy after 10 players were suspended after a sexual assault investigation, won Tuesday night.

The Golden Gophers (9-4) were looking to regroup after backing down from a threat to skip the game if their teammates suspended after the investigation weren’t reinstated. Their boycott lasted less than 36 hours, with university leadership never blinking.

The players backed down amid pressure from many who read details of the allegations.

“I don’t think it’s a matter of anybody not wanting to be here. It’s just a matter of wishing our brothers could be here with us as well,” Leidner said. “I love this team, these coaches. You couldn’t ask for a better way to go out. I’m just really proud of these guys.”

Brooks’ TD catch was one of the few

exciting plays in an otherwise pedestrian edition of what traditionally has been one of the country’s most exciting bowl games.

MILITARY BOWL Wake Forest 34, Temple 26: At Annapolis, Maryland, Wake Forest attached a positive ending to a season marred by scandal, using a strong performance by quarterback John Wolford to beat heavily favored Temple.

After throwing an interception on the first series of the game, Wolford helped the Demon Deacons rattle off 31 straight points before halftime.

Wolford left with a neck strain in the third quarter with the score 31-17. Wake Forest (7-6) then withstood a comeback bid by Temple (10-4) to secure its first winning season since 2008.

HEART OF DALLAS BOWL Army 38, North Texas 31 (OT): At Dallas, Jordan Asberry ran for a 3-yard touchdown on fourth down in overtime, sending Army past North Texas (5-8).

Asberry’s score was the sixth rushing touchdown in the game for the Black Knights (8-5) and 46th of the season.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. – Maryland coach Mark Turgeon didn’t expect to be part of a 25-point game in Tuesday’s Big Ten opener against Illinois. Neither did Illini coach John Groce.

Turgeon was the only one of the two who was pleased at the surprise.

Melo Trimble scored 20 points, Jaylen Brantley added 13 and Anthony Cowan had 12 points Malcolm Hill and six assists as Maryland routed Illinois, 84-59.

It was the sixth victory in a row for the Terrapins (13-1), who have won their conference opener in all three seasons since joining the Big Ten. “I didn’t see it coming,” Turgeon said. “I didn’t think the numbers were going to be the way they were. Guys were dialed in. They were fresh. We

took four days off over Christmas break.

I said, ‘Guys, a lot of people wouldn’t do this, but it’s such a long season. We’re going to be fresher tonight.’ ” Malcolm Hill had 21 points for the Illini (10-4), who saw their six-game winning streak end.

“I didn’t see it coming,” Groce said.

“We’ve had great effort, great attitudes, really practiced well and played well and kept playing better. ... At the end of the day, to me it’s about quality possessions. We didn’t have enough of them today, and we’d had a lot of them recently.”

Maryland played without two of its top post players. Junior Michal Cekovsky rested a left ankle injury, and senior Damonte Dodd missed his fifth consecutive game with a sprained left knee ligament.

Their absences mattered little against the Illini, who never led and were outscored 48-24 in the paint as Maryland’s guards drove to the basket with ease.

Champagne Sauce

3 or 4 servings (makes 3/4 cup) This is a quick, delicate sauce to spoon around or over chilled seafood or warm poached chicken. This can elevate just about any seafood or simply prepared chicken.

Make ahead: The sauce can be made up to 2 hours in advance and kept warm in a thermos.

Champagne Shrimp on Endive 8 servings (makes 16 pieces)

These lovely, addictive hors d’oeuvres come together quickly and disappear even faster.

An entire bottle of champagne is used for the shrimp poaching liquid, and we’re thinking the liquid could be strained, cooled and frozen flat in a zip-top bag for future use as a court bouillon. We’re cooking the shrimp with tails on to add a bit more flavor to the broth and to help the shrimp hold their shape.

Make ahead: The shrimp can be poached in the champagne, drained and refrigerated in an airtight container a day in advance. The sauce can be made and refrigerated several hours in advance.

For the shrimp: 1 pound (16-20 count) raw, peeled, deveined, tail-on shrimp 2 lemons, cut into thin slices 3 stems fresh tarragon, plus a few leaves for garnish One 750-milliliter bottle champagne (may substitute a dry sparkling white wine) 2 or 3 heads Belgian endive (outer leaves and ends trimmed), separated into 16 leaves of similar size For the sauce: 1/2 cup regular or low-fat mayonnaise (do not use nonfat) 1 tablespoon prepared white horseradish 1 tablespoon champagne vinegar (may substitute champagne or dry white sparkling wine) 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh tarragon For the shrimp: Place the shrimp in a deep saute pan. Add the lemon slices and tarragon, then gently pour in all but 2 or 3 tablespoons of the champagne. Bring to just below a boil over medium heat, then reduce the

heat to low and cook for 3 minutes; all the shrimp should be pink and opaque. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the shrimp to a cutting board to cool. (Discard the poaching liquid, or reserve it as described in the headnote.)

Discard the tails of the shrimp, then cut each shrimp horizonally in half. Place in a mixing bowl and toss with the remaining few tablespoons of champagne. Cover and refrigerate for a few minutes (and up to a day in advance).

Meanwhile, make the sauce: Whisk together the mayonnaise, horseradish and champagne vinegar in a medium bowl, then gently stir in the tarragon.

When ready to serve, place small spoonfuls of sauce on a wide platter; these will act as landing/holding places for the endive, so space them accordingly. Place an upturned endive leaf (to act as a holder) on each one. Fill each one with 2 shrimp halves, then spoon a little sauce atop each one. Garnish with a few single tarragon leaves.

Ingredients are too variable for a meaningful analysis.

Yogurt Panna Cotta With Champagne Apricots 4 to 6 servings

The combination of flavors in this light dessert is especially tangy.

In testing, we used beautiful dried apricots from Traina Foods in California. You’ll need 4 to 6 glasses or dessert bowls that can hold at least 1/2 cup.

Make ahead: The panna cottas (without topping) need to be refrigerated for 3 to 4 hours, and up to a day, in advance. The apricots need to be well chilled (for at least 15 minutes) before using; they can be prepared several days in advance.

For the panna cotta: 1 cup plus 3 tablespoons nonfat milk 2½ teaspoons (1 packet) unflavored powdered gelatin 1/4 cup mild honey, preferably organic 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 cups plain nonfat Greek-style yogurt

and then the yogurt until smooth; you’ll see the mixture thicken a bit.

Divide it evenly among individual cups or bowls.

Cover and refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours or until set.

For the apricots: Combine the apricots, champagne and honey in a small saucepan over medium-high heat.

Once the mixture comes to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low; cook for about 20 minutes or until the liquid becomes syrupy. Let cool, then transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate until chilled (at least 15 minutes).

When ready to serve, spoon equal amounts of the apricots and their syrup on top of each panna cotta.

Serve chilled.

Even though risotto is a simple rice dish, I associate it with special occasions.

A northern Italian rice dish cooked in broth to a creamy consistency, risotto most often is served as a first course. But in the U.S., we serve it as a side or a main course.

It most always includes butter, onions and wine. I have made white wine risotto with spring peas and crab meat and red wine risotto with caramelized shallots and mushrooms. But I never thought about making champagne risotto until my friend and fellow chef, Bob Blumer mentioned it to me.

I immediately knew Champagne risotto would have to become my New Year’s Eve staple – it’s comforting on a cold night and easy to prepare while talking and drinking with friends. And it’s the perfect choice for an at-home New Year’s Eve celebration.

Bob makes his risotto with asparagus, which is out of season right now. I opted to make mine with one of my favorite ingredients, mushrooms – any kind of mushrooms work, or a mixture of wild mushrooms.

The combination of garlic, shallots, butter, champagne, Parmesan and thyme is so rich this recipe is excellent with button mushrooms and only gets better with more interesting mushrooms.

My favorite two mushrooms are meaty morels

and chanterelles. And since it is New Year’s Eve, why not spurge with champagne and chanterelles?

The key to risotto is setting up two pots, one for the chicken stock and the other for making the risotto itself.

Keep the chicken stock warm so it is absorbed quicker and doesn’t “shock” the risotto as you stir it in, little by little.

Champagne Risotto

Servings: 2 dinner portions or 4 side dishes Start to finish: 45 minutes 2 large shallots, chopped (about 1/3 cup) 2 large cloves of garlic, chopped 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 4 tablespoons butter, divided 4 ounces mixed chopped mushrooms (A generous cup of cooked mushrooms) 1 cup Champagne 32 ounces unsalted chicken stock 6 sprigs of fresh thyme, divided 1 generous cup Arborio rice 1 generous cup Parmesan cheese, grated In a heavy-bottomed medium-size (about 6 quarts) pot over medium-high heat, add olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter.

Immediately add shallot and garlic and stir for 3-4 minutes, or until the shallot is translucent and beginning to brown around the edges.

Add rice to the shallots and garlic and stir vigorously for about 30 seconds until all of the rice grains are coated in oil. Let rice

toast in the pan for about 3 minutes, stirring frequently.

In a medium sauté pan, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and let melt. Season butter with salt and add mushrooms.

Let cook down until lightly sautéed and set aside.

In a second pot (about 4 quarts), warm chicken stock and 1/2 cup of champagne over medium-low heat. Add about 4 whole sprigs of thyme to infuse the stock.

Add champagne to the rice mixture and reduce heat to medium. Add in the sautéed mushrooms. Stir for 2 to 3 minutes, until most of the liquid is absorbed.

Use a ladle to add 1/2 cup of the hot chicken stock to the rice.

Stir frequently. Each time the stock is almost fully absorbed, add another 1/2 cup. Continue stirring and adding stock until rice is creamy yet still a little firm to the bite. (It may not be necessary to use all of the stock.)

The total cooking time, once the rice has been added, should not be more than about 25 minutes. To keep the rice slightly creamy, don’t wait until the last ladle full of stock is totally absorbed before pulling it off the heat and serving.

Remove from the heat. Stir in the reserved thyme (leaves only) and the Parmesan cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese is completely melted. Season with a touch of white pepper and salt if desired. You shouldn’t need to use much salt, if any.

Serve in flat bowls with a sprig of thyme.

Vietnam inspires healthy post-holiday chicken salad

By THE CULINARY INSTITUTE OF AMERICA The Associated Press

Call it a resolution or just a lastminute attempt to button your pants, but come January, many of us strive to put the cookies behind us and make thoughtful food choices. But one surefire way to find yourself off track on a healthier eating plan is to fill your refrigerator with bland and boring foods after a month of decadent party snacks.

Fresh fruits and vegetables and lean meats and proteins are important foundations for a well-balanced diet, but, on their own, they’re not always a thrilling culinary experience. If you need some inspiration to take your healthy post-holiday dinners from fine to fabulous, look no further than our neighbors on the other side of the globe.

Vietnamese cuisine is regarded as one of the healthiest in the world, for its lean meats and proteins, fresh vegetables and limited use of dairy.

Vinegars, spicy chilies, and fragrant and flavorful herbs are characteristic of familiar Vietnamese dishes, like the banh mi sandwich and cold rice noodle bowls. Layered together, they elevate minimal ingredients like boiled chicken and raw carrots to create exciting recipes that can help you out of that boring salad slump.

This recipe for Hue Chicken Salad is the perfect dish to ease you into your meal-plan reboot. Though it starts with a base of plain boiled or steamed chicken (don’t stop reading), it’s packed with bright and fresh flavors, and every bite is a new experience.

There may be some ingredients in this recipe you haven’t used before, so take this opportunity to get to know them. Or, you can always replace them with more familiar ingredients. Rau ram is a Vietnamese herb that can easily be substituted with cilantro, and sambal is a spicy chili sauce that can be replaced by Sriracha or omitted entirely if spicy isn’t your thing (in that case, don’t add those Thai bird chilies either).

If you aren’t familiar with fish sauce, allow us to make this exciting introduction. Fish sauce is a very common ingredient in southeast Asian cuisines made by extracting the liquid from salted fermented fish. Despite its strong aroma, the flavor of fish sauce almost disappears in a dish, becoming more of a seasoning than a distinct flavor. CIA Chef Michael Pardus calls it “the duct tape of the kitchen” for its ability to repair any bland recipe.

Hue Chicken Salad AP photo

This recipe recommends serving the chicken salad with rice for dinner, but it’s also great used as a topper for salad greens, served with riced cauliflower or scooped over toasted whole-grain bread. It is also the perfect make-ahead recipe, since its flavors will deepen in the refrigerator, and leftovers will make for a lunch you really can look forward to.

Just be prepared for the longing looks from your co-workers with their boring salads.

Hue Chicken Salad Start to finish: 20 minutes Servings: 4

You can use either poached or roasted chicken to make this salad. If you can’t find rau ram, substitute an equal quantity of additional cilantro and mint. Vietnamese sambal is a fiery hot chili paste.

You can substitute a good hot sauce if it cannot be found.

1/2 medium onion, sliced thin 1½ pounds shredded cooked chicken meat 1/4 cup rau ram leaves, torn

1/4 cup mint leaves, torn 1/4 cup minced cilantro leaves and stems 1 Thai bird chili, thinly sliced 2 tablespoons lime juice 1 tablespoon peanut oil 1 tablespoon fish sauce 1 tablespoon Vietnamese sambal 2 teaspoons sugar, or as needed Salt, as needed Freshly ground black pepper, as needed 4 Boston lettuce leaves 2 cups steamed jasmine rice 1 red Fresno chili, sliced paper thin 1/2 cup Crispy Shallots, (optional), recipe follows Combine the onion slices with enough cold water to cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.

Combine the chicken, rau ram, mint, cilantro, and Thai bird chili slices in a large bowl. Drain the onion slices and add them to the chicken. Add the lime juice, peanut oil, fish sauce, and sambal to the salad and toss gently until combined. Season to taste with sugar, salt, and pepper.

Arrange the Boston lettuce on chilled plates.

Top with the salad and serve with steamed rice and the Fresno chili. Garnish with crispy shallots

if desired.

Crispy Shallots Select a large, firm shallot with smooth skin.

Use a sharp paring knife to trim away the ends and pull off the skin. Cut the shallot into thin slices and separate them into rings. Plan on about 1/2 cup of sliced shallots to make enough garnish for 4 servings. That works out to about 1 large shallot.

Pour an inch of oil (canola, peanut or olive oils are all suitable) into a small, heavy-gauge saucepan. When it reaches 350 degrees F, add the shallots and fry, stirring them occasionally, until they have a rich, sweet aroma and a good brown color, usually about 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to lift the fried shallots from the oil.

Transfer them to a plate or bowl lined with paper towels. You can hold them at room temperature for up to one hour.

This is a dazzler of a pasta dish.

When you combine fresh pasta with big shrimp you quickly are telling your guests they are in for a treat.

But it’s not just the guests who will be happy. The whole dish comes together in about 20 minutes.

Fresh Linguine with Shrimp and Peas in a Pink Cream Sauce SServes 6

Kosher salt to taste 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 cloves garlic, peeled and lightly crushed 2 pounds peeled and deveined extra-large shrimp 3 tablespoons tomato paste 1/2 cup dry white wine 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil 1 cup frozen peas 1 cup heavy cream Fresh ground pepper to taste 2 9-ounce packages fresh linguine Chopped fresh parsley or basil to serve Bring a large stockpot of salted water to a boil.

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a very large skillet over medium heat, and sauté the garlic for 3 or 4 minutes, just until it starts to lightly color. Remove

the garlic cloves and toss them. Add the shrimp to the skillet and sauté for about 3 minutes until they have started to turn pink but are not cooked through, then remove them with a slotted spoon to a plate and set aside.

Add the tomato paste and white wine to the skillet and stir until the tomato paste has dissolved into the wine.

Add the parsley, basil, peas and cream and bring to a simmer. Season with pepper. Return the partially cooked shrimp to the sauce and continue to simmer until the peas and shrimp have cooked through, about 2 minutes.

While you are making the sauce, cook the pasta in the boiling water according to package directions, about 4 minutes. Remove 1/2 cup of the cooking water and stir it into the sauce, then drain the pasta.

Taste the sauce and see if it needs more salt or pepper.

Return the pasta to the pot, pour the sauce over it and toss to combine. Transfer to a serving bowl, sprinkle with additional parsley or basil if desired, and serve immediately.

WAHL APPLIANCE

Tori Amos, a singer-songwriter, said, “I’m not like a poker player.

I’m not into bluff. My way is to look someone in the eye and tell them the way I’m intending to go. My cards are always on the table.”

At the bridge table, you occasionally have to bluff, keeping your cards close to your chest. How should South try to make six hearts in this deal after West leads the club nine?

When North raised hearts, South decided to keep his spade support up his sleeve, which worked to his advantage in the play. He jumped immediately into Blackwood.

If West had led the diamond ace, it would have killed the slam; but that was not obvious.

Declarer won the first trick with dummy’s club ace and dropped his queen under it. Then he took his two top trumps to learn that he had a loser there. How could he also avoid conceding a diamond?

In theory, South had to find East with three or four spades. But, as you can see, he had only a doubleton.

Declarer spotted a ruse. He played a spade to dummy’s queen, feigning the finesse, cashed the spade ace and continued with a third spade. To East, it looked as though South was about to ruff, so that he did not need to “waste” his trump trick. However, after East discarded, South produced the spade king from his back pocket, overtook the club 10 with dummy’s jack and pitched his diamond king on the spade seven.

East probably should not have fallen for declarer’s deception, but it was delightfully deft.
