down and will arrest anyone caught driv‐
ing drunk. In addition, front and back
belt law violators will be ticketed.
Data shows the holiday season is a par‐
ticularly deadly time due to the in‐
creased number of drunk drivers on the
roads, and the Montgomery Police De‐
partment is prepared to stop and arrest
any drunk driver they see to keep roads
safe.
Research has shown that high-visibility
enforcement like the 'Drive Sober or Get
Pulled Over' campaign reduces drunken
driving fatalities by as much as 20 per‐
cent. By joining this effort, we will help
make Montgomery roads safer for every‐
one throughout the Holiday period.
“Driving drunk is simply not worth the
risk. S o don’t take the chance.
Remember, we will be out in force and
we will be watching, so ‘Drive Sober or
Get Pulled Over,’” said Chief Daniel
Meyers.
e law enforcement crackdown is fund‐
ed by federal traffic safety funds through
the Illinois Department of Transporta‐
tion.

Chicago Bears still
in the Hunt by
Dick Kolf
e Chicago Bears came into Monday
night’s contest with their backs to the
wall at 6-6 the Bears were in a must win
position.. eir opponent the Dallas
Cowboys came in at 7 and 5 in a similar
position the Bears found themselves in
order to keep their post season dreams
alive.
So the Bears offense showed up behind
the playmaking of Josh Mccown the 34
year old journeyman quarterback who
has been filling in for Jay Cutler . With a
48-25 win the Bears are now at 7 and 6
2nd in the NFC North and are poised to
make a final run at the Playoffs. In the
win Mcowan threw for over 400 yards,
Running back Matt Forte surpassed a
1000 yards for the season ; wide receiver
Brandon Marshall also eclipsed the 1000
mark for the season becoming the first
Bear receiver to accomplish this feat two
years in a row.
However the Bears are now faced with a
question of who to play at Quarterback.
Cutler is set to return however Mcowan
has done the job in relief of the injured
starter throwing for over 300 yards in 4
of his five starts. So Marc Trestman will
have to address this before they take on
the Brown this Sunday.
e defense still continues to struggle in
stopping the pass however on Monday
night he Bears did get pressure on Cow‐
boy’s Quarterback Tony Romo. So with
an improved defense and the Browns
next up the Bears will need to continue
to win in order to keep pace with the Li‐
ons . e path to the post season is in
winning the Division. So this week’s pre‐
diction the Bears 34- Browns 17

down performance in Monday's blowout
win over theDallas Cowboys.
ries of Rich Gannon, who Trestman once
helped turn from a journeyman to
league MVP.
Trestman is showing loyalty to his open‐
ing day starter, and it worked in Cutler's
favor that he was playing well before
thumb and ankle injuries sidetracked his
season.
Josh McCown
Cutler returns aer missing the last four
games due to a high-ankle sprain. Mc‐
Cown powered the offense in his place,
boasting a 66.8 completion percentage,
13:1 touchdown-to-interception ratio
and seven consecutive games with a
passer rating over 90.0.
Trestman announced ursday that Cut‐
ler will be under center when the Chica‐
go Bears visit theCleveland Browns on
Sunday. Josh McCown heads back to the
bench aer an extended stretch of excel‐
e high point came Monday, a 45-28
win in which McCown dissected an
overmatched Dallas secondary. As Chris
Wesseling pointed out that night, Mc‐
Cown's late-bloomer act recalls memo‐
• By Dan Hanzus with the Bear Re‐
port
Marc Trestman consistently maintained
that Jay Cutler would resume his duties
as starting quarterback of the Chicago
Bears once he was healthy enough to do
so. e coach has proved himself to be a
man of his word.
McCown passed his audition with flying
colors and has given Chicago plenty to
think about with Cutler headed toward
free agency. Now Cutler gets his turn to
make a statement about his importance
to the franchise.
He's fortunate, too. Not every coach
would be so willing to go away from a
hand as scorching as McCown's.

Chicago Bulls Beat
by Evie Givens
Bulls find themselves at 8 and 12 mid‐
way through December and are still try‐
ing to figure out life without Derrick
Rose. Losing a player of his caliber is
hard to replace however coming into the
season the front office was counting on
contributions from the front court of
Carlos Boozer and Deng to help fill in
the scoring gaps. Kurt Heinrich was also
being called on to help fill the void in
case Rose was not healthy.
So the Bulls are now trying to figure out
the guard position. Injuries are stacking
up with Center Joachim Noah so where
do the Bulls turn to find that formula
that will help prepare them for the post
season. e last two years the Bulls have
underperformed in terms of not making
it back to the Eastern Conference finals.
Injuries have derailed them the last two
seasons and the trend continues.
With that all being said here are some
bright spots helping the Bulls. Joachim
Noah rebounding; Mike Dunleavy scor‐
ing and Kurt Heinrich defense have
helped the Bulls to begin the process of
recovering. e Front office is looking
for a backup point guard and one more
scoring option off the Bench. When the
Bulls are healthy they are one of the
tougher teams in the League. ere is
still time for them to make their move
for the post season. However let’s not
wait too long.

Crawford to miss
ree Weeks
Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Corey
Crawford will be sidelined about three
weeks with a lower-body injury, Black‐
hawks coach Joel Quenneville said Tues‐
day.
Kendall Weekly Times
"Well, he's handled it well. He's been in
the net. Game's been on the line, he's
been solid for us. Just moving forward,
you like his approach, you like his com‐
petitiveness," Quenneville said. "He's a
battler. It'll be a good test for him as
well."
And it's an opportunity Raanta is em‐
bracing.
Once the Chicago Blackhawks started
rolling, Ray Emery never stood a chance.
Duncan Keith and Andrew Shaw scored
in a 39-second span at the start of Chica‐
go's five-goal second period Wednesday
night, sparking the Blackhawks to a 7-2
victory over Emery and the Philadelphia
Flyers.
More On e Blackhawks
Crawford was injured in the first period
of the Blackhawks' game Sunday against
the Florida Panthers and did not travel
with his teammates to Dallas.
Antti Raanta replaced Crawford in the
6-2 win against the Panthers and will
start Tuesday against the Dallas Stars.
Kent Simpson has been recalled from the
American Hockey League to serve as the
backup. Regular backup Nikolai
Khabibulin is out with a lower-body in‐
jury.
Quenneville has no reservations about
starting the rookie Raanta, who is 3-0-1
with a 2.16 goals-against average.
"Just have to keep working hard and
keep earning the minutes," Raanta said.
"Even though I maybe have the No. 1
spot now, it's nothing if you go there and
you're not ready to play. So you just have
to keep your mind and body ready to
play and keep working hard."
Hawks Beat from
the Bleacher Report
CHICAGO -- ere was a long slap shot,
and then a niy wraparound and a
short-handed score off a 2-on-1 break.
Patrick Sharp had a goal and two assists
for Chicago, which has won three in a
row aer a three-game losing streak.
Michal Handzus scored a short-handed
goal in the second and Marian Hossa
had three assists, helping rookie goal‐
tender Antti Raanta win his second con‐
secutive start in place of injured Corey
Crawford.
"We have a quiet confidence we can
score goals," Keith said. "Our talk in the
room is more about playing the right
way, being good defensively, being hard
on pucks, checking well. We know our
offense is going to take care of itself if we
play that way."
e seven goals set a season high for the
Blackhawks (23-6-5), who have scored
19 times during their winning streak and
lead the NHL with 129 goals. Shaw's
sharp wraparound at 1:22 of the second
made it six players with at least 10 goals
for the defending Stanley Cup champi‐
ons, who are once again on top of the
league standings with 51 points.
"It's a credit to our team game," Sharp
said. "We know we've got guys in here
that can put up big numbers and score
goals. But when we're playing well in all
three zones, that's when our offense usu‐
ally clicks."
Emery was pulled in the third period of
his first start in Chicago since he teamed
with Crawford to give the Blackhawks
one of the best goaltending tandems in
the league last season. Emery went 17-1
with a sparkling 1.94 goals-against aver‐
age during his second year with Chicago
and then signed a free-agent deal with
Philadelphia in July.
He received a standing ovation from the
sellout crowd when he was recognized

on the overhead scoreboard during the
first period. But his ninth start of the
season took a turn for the worse when
Chicago turned up the pressure in the
second.
Jakub Voracek and Steve Downie scored
power-play goals for the Flyers
(13-15-3), who have lost three in a row
and went 2-3-1 on a six-game road trip.
"We made a few stupid mistakes," for‐
ward Wayne Simmonds said. "We
weren't looking behind our backs and
when you play a team like that they're
going to capitalize."
Voracek's wrister at 12:31 helped
Philadelphia to a 1-0 lead aer one peri‐
od. e Blackhawks were coming off a
6-2 victory at Dallas on Tuesday night
and looked a bit listless at the start of
their first game against the Flyers since
Jan. 5, 2012.
at all changed in the second.
Keith got it started with a big drive past
Emery just 43 seconds into the period.
en came Shaw's goal, and Handzus
made it 3-1 when he scored his third on
a break with Marcus Kruger.
Downie's third goal momentarily slowed
the Blackhawks' run. Kris Versteeg beat
Emery off a terrific pass from Brandon
Saad, and Sharp's slap shot went off
Jonathan Toews and in to make it 5-2 at
14:15.
"Great second period for us," Black‐
hawks coach Joel Quenneville said, "and
it kind of went from there."
Emery departed aer Brent Seabrook
scored on a slap shot 65 seconds into the
third. Emery finished with 12 saves.
"You're going to be frustrated," Emery
said. "ere's an old saying, 'You show
me a good loser and I'll show you a
loser.'"
Raanta made 28 stops to improve to
5-0-1. He drew a large ovation from the
crowd when he stopped Brayden Schenn
and Michael Raffl on a pair of shorthanded breakaways in rapid succession
in the third.
