Bill seeks to limit funds Changes proposed to local gov’t meal, travel expenses By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com

Gov. Bruce Rauner speaks outside his office Dec. 2 at the Capitol in Springfield. Illinois started the new year without a state budget for a fiscal year that began July 1. At a time when lawmakers should be thinking about next year’s spending plan, it’s likely little else will rise on the agenda. Rauner, needing to fulfill campaign promises from a year ago, is demanding pro-business, anti-union changes to state law.
Rauner reflects on first year as Illinois governor
SPRINGFIELD – One year into Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner’s term, the state doesn’t have a budget, and he hasn’t gotten the structural reforms he’s been pushing as part of his “Turnaround Agenda.” Rauner said in an interview with the Northwest Herald’s Emily Coleman that he isn’t surprised, but he is frustrated by the situation, although he added that the state’s problems took years to create and will take time to fix. But Rauner also pointed to some victories in unemployment insurance reform that prevented a tax hike for businesses and a benefit decrease for recipients, and a plan to fill a $1.6 billion hole in last year’s budget through across-the-board cuts and transfers from other areas.
Coleman: Is this where you expect-
Hot topics include budget impasse, structural reform, pension debate ed to be one year in? Rauner: Well, I’m not totally
surprised. I’m obviously a bit disappointed we haven’t been able to get major structural reforms that are so badly needed, but it was a good year in many regards. We made some major strides in the right direction, and we’ll just stay persistent and strong, trying to get the structural reforms to grow the economy and get more value for taxpayers. We’ll stay the course.
Coleman: When you were running for office, you said you were going to run Illinois like a CEO runs a business.
How has that worked out for you? Rauner: Mostly very well. The
parallels between leading in government and leading in business are very similar. It’s about assembling a very talented team of executives, leaders. It’s about team building. It’s about setting a vision and a plan, laying it out. And then it’s about managing to implement that plan. It’s all very similar. It’s negotiating. It’s selling. It’s all very similar skills to business. Obviously, the big difference is major structural change is hard. It’s hard in business, but in business, the constituents that have to be
convinced or persuaded – the scale is just fundamentally different. Democracy is designed to change slowly. It’s just built that way, and to get major change just takes a while. I’m not totally surprised. I’m frustrated, but I’m not surprised.
Coleman: In a few weeks, you have to give your annual budget address, and since we don’t have a budget currently, how do you think you’re going to go about doing that? Rauner: I’ll say a few things. First, I’ve been talking about the budget and budget issues every day for a year, and I’m going to continue to talk every day for the next year. The budget address is just one part of that, and I’ll talk about budget issues in detail.
Local government officials and employees would have a harder time traveling and dining on the taxpayers’ dime under a bill filed by a McHenry County lawmaker. House Bill 4379, filed last week by state Rep. David McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills, seeks to limit the amount of money school districts and non-home-rule governments can spend on Rep. David t r a v e l , m e a l s McSweeney and lodging.

Spending taxpayer money on entertainment would be forbidden under the proposed law. McSweeney said no one incident prompted him to file the bill, but rather a steady flow of stories from media and the Better Government Association about local governments racking up questionable expenses as taxpayers struggle under one of the nation’s highest property tax burdens. Eliminating unnecessary or frivolous costs is a small but important step in bringing the tax burden down, he said. “I think we can all agree taxpayers should not be footing the bill for local government officials to see movies, concerts or live theater shows,” McSweeney said.

Supreme Court considers ditching mandatory public union fees By SAM HANANEL The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court appears ready to deliver a major setback to American unions as it considers scrapping a four-decade precedent that lets public-sector labor organizations collect fees from workers who decline to join. During more than an hour of oral arguments Monday, the high court’s conservative justices seemed likely to side with a group of California teachers who say those mandatory fees violate the free-speech rights of workers who disagree with a union’s positions. Labor officials fear unions’ very existence could be threatened if workers are allowed to get all the
benefits of representation without at least paying fees to cover the costs of collective bargaining. The case affects more than 5 million workers in 23 states and Washington, D.C. But Justice Anthony Kennedy rejected arguments by lawyers for the state of California and the California Teachers Association that the current fee system is needed to prevent nonmembers from becoming “free riders” – workers who reap the rewards of union bargaining and grievance procedures without paying for it. “The union basically is making these teachers compelled riders for issues on which they strongly disagree,” Kennedy said, noting the political nature of bargaining issues such as teacher salaries, merit pro-
motions and class size. Even Justice Antonin Scalia, who in the past has expressed some sympathy for the free-rider argument, said all the items negotiated in a collective bargaining agreement “are necessarily political questions.” Arguing in support of the union, California Solicitor General Edward DuMont said the state needs a reliable bargaining partner that is funded by all the workers it represents. He said the fees for collective bargaining typically apply to nonpolitical issues such as mileage reimbursement, working hours and other mundane matters. Chief Justice John Roberts dismissed that reasoning, saying even

@NWHerald
Rauner takes aim at Madigan, Emanuel “He has taught us how to deal with him,� explained one top official in Gov. Bruce Rauner’s administration when asked why the governor again has cranked up his public criticism of Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan. You may already know the governor blasted Madigan and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel during an appearance on Dan Proft’s WIND-AM Chicago radio program last week. After accusing Emanuel of being “afraid� to take on Madigan, Rauner said the reason for this was self-evident: “The speaker has been the most powerful politician in the state of Illinois for decades. It’s the main reason we’re in such big trouble as a state.� Rauner essentially went on to blame Illinois’ “long-term, slow death spiral� on Madigan and said the majority party “likes the status quo,� claiming the House speaker is “not sensitive� to the real-world problems of the middle class. “He’s got a great system, he controls it, and right now they’re unwilling to change. And without change, we’ll never get a true balanced budget.� So what the heck happened here? The governor seemed to mute his criticisms of Madigan in the closing weeks of 2015, even mostly holding his fire when Madigan skipped the last leaders’
LOTTERY
CAPITOL EFFECTS Rich Miller meeting just before the holidays. New year, new attitude, apparently. The governor reportedly has come to the conclusion Madigan is not now and may never be willing to negotiate in good faith. Rauner’s basically tired of negotiating against himself – pulling ideas off the table and never seeing any corresponding movement from the other side. He’s not completely wrong, either – at least about the negotiating part. Madigan’s fellow Democrat, Senate President John Cullerton, has been trying to find a way to give the Republican Rauner some victories on things such as workers’ compensation reform and local government costs. There was, for instance, reportedly more progress on workers’ comp during that non-Madigan leaders’ meeting last month. Cullerton reportedly also is eyeing a recommended compromise from the Illinois Municipal League on binding arbitration for local governments. The idea would allow arbitrators to take into account a government’s fiscal
condition when deciding a case. They can’t do that now, so even if their compromise is a ruling forcing the existing status quo on the two sides, that might still be far too costly for a government that has found itself in a fiscal hole. Madigan is said to want no part of even this smallish proposal. Madigan has raised truly gigantic amounts of money from labor unions in the past few months. Those unions are allowed to give the same amount again after the March 15 primary, and Madigan will need all the cash he can stockpile for the fall campaign. So angering the unions before Madigan’s position is secure appears unlikely. OK, so why did the governor throw his longtime friend Emanuel under the bus last week? The mayor apparently had indicated to Rauner he would act as a go-between in the governmental impasse and try to convince Madigan to find a way to compromise. The governor has complained for months Emanuel is privately saying one thing to him and publicly saying another. Now the governor is convinced Emanuel has taken sides. The mayor is “hiding behind the speaker,� the governor told Proft. Then he piled on Emanuel, calling the mayor’s public comments about
opposing a federal investigation into the city’s legal department “incredibly disappointing.� “How tone deaf can you be?� Rauner asked rhetorically about a mayor already under intense fire for not doing enough to reform the police department and then turning a blind eye after a federal judge rebuked five lawyers in that office in the past year for withholding evidence in two police misconduct cases, according to the Chicago Tribune. In other words, he’s attempting to punish the mayor for siding with Madigan and punishing Madigan for not cooperating. Will it work? Doubtful, but it’ll help him feel better, for sure, and lock down his base’s support. The governor isn’t exactly a popular guy in the city, and Emanuel effectively has pivoted back on Rauner in public, blaming him for the impasse and accusing him of using the city’s public school students as pawns in an unwinnable game. As for Madigan, his people firmly believe Rauner has lost the match and has yet to realize it. So expect them to wait Rauner out, at least for now.

Bull Valley police official says LITH man made false statements on Facebook By KATIE DAHLSTROM kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Bull Valley Police Chief James Page has filed a defamation lawsuit against a man who is suing him, claiming malicious posts on the Lake in the Hills man’s Facebook page have damaged Page’s reputation. Page is seeking more than $150,000 from Charles “Chuck” Casamento, who
runs the Facebook page “Justice from Bull Valley Police Department.” In his suit, filed Dec. 23, Page claims Casamento has made false statements over the past 10 months to thousands of people, accusing Page of committing felonies and perjury and implying that Page has taken part in other criminal activities. “As a direct and proximate cause of defendants’ false statements, [Page] has been
deprived of sleep, suffered deterioration in his employment relationship with the village of Bull Valley, plaintiff’s employer, subject to public ridicule, experienced fear of safety and emotion distress,” the lawsuit reads. Page’s lawsuit contends Casamento recklessly disregarded the truth in Facebook posts in which he claimed Page had lied under oath in a DUI case when he said he
had worked for the Dallas Police Department. Other posts to the page, which has more than 2,700 likes, label Page as corrupt and claim he violated residents’ civil rights, the lawsuit claims. The lawsuit also takes issue with photos posted to the Facebook page, including one picture of a smoking handgun, knife, brass knuckles and a statement reading “vigilante justice” superimposed over a

Casciaro attorney takes new case Zellner law firm to defend subject of ‘Making a Murderer’ series By KATIE DAHLSTROM kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com The lawyer who represented Mario Casciaro in his successful appeal of a 2013 murder conviction now will represent the main subject of the popular “Making a Murderer” series. Kathleen Zellner and Associates, P.C. announced the firm would represent Steven Avery in all of his pending legal matters. Avery has gar-

School bus driver cited in Crystal Lake crash By KATIE DAHLSTROM kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – A Crystal Lake school bus driver was cited Monday in a crash that involved another vehicle and a school bus carrying eight North Elementary School students, police said. The bus driver was turning left onto Buckingham Drive from McHenry Avenue about 8:20 a.m. when the bus hit a patch of ice and slid, striking a Pontiac Vibe that was headed west on Buckingham Drive, Crystal Lake Elementary School District and Com-
separate trials. “The Zellner Law Firm is looking forward to adding Mr. Avery to its long list of wrongful conviction exonerations,” a news release from Zellner said. Avery, 53, was wrongfully convicted of a 1985 rape, serving 18 years before being freed. He had a $36 million lawsuit against public officials pending when he was arrested for Halbach’s murder. The series has raised ques-
tions among Avery supporters and viewers about whether Avery was wrongfully convicted of murder, and whether local law enforcement framed him. Prosecutors claim the series left out critical pieces of evidence and portrayed the case unfairly. Zellner, a Downers Grove attorney, represented Casciaro, who was freed in September

As she began work Monday morning, Colleen York had only one word to describe how she was feeling: sore. York, who lives in Algonquin, spent her weekend in Pacific, Missouri, with a group of six other McHenry County volunteers helping with flood recovery efforts. York’s Cary-raised son Jesse is now a minister who lives in Pacific, one of the towns hit hard by floods in the final week of December. Even though a couple weeks have passed since flooding began, York said the town still was “a disaster.” York said the group spent much of the weekend pulling drywall and insulation out of the walls of affected homes. That step was one of the first in what will likely be a long road to recovery for the residents of Pacific and surrounding towns. “Many, many people did not have flood insurance,” York said. “A lot of the houses we were working on had 6 feet of water in them originally. Pretty much, they lost everything.” York said her group and a group of volunteers from the nonprofit Service International were among the only outsiders helping in Pacific. “There really weren’t a lot of people there,” York said, “but the people that were there were fabulous.” The volunteer efforts were helped both by donations sent directly to the church through Amazon. com and a donation from The Dura Wax Company in McHenry, she said.

Some states have laws banning mandatory fees Rauner: Manufacturers
leaving Illinois in droves
• UNION FEES
Continued from page A1
• RAUNER
routine matters can become politically charged if they involve how the state spends money. “That’s always a public policy issue,� Roberts said. The group of 10 teachers that filed the challenge wants the high court to overturn a 1977 case that allows public unions to collect money from members and nonmembers alike, as long as the funds are not spent for political action. The court in that case, Abood v. Detroit Board of Education, said the arrangement was justified to prevent nonmembers from becoming free riders. The challengers argue that public-sector unions have become more political over time. They say even a push for higher salaries and pension benefits raises political questions about the best use of tax dollars for cash-strapped localities. A federal district court ruled against the teachers, saying the outcome was clear under Abood. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed. Half the states already have right-to-work laws banning mandatory fees, but about 80 percent of workers represented by public-employee unions are in states that don’t, including California, New York and Illinois. Union advocates say the lawsuit is part of a conservative agenda to weaken unions, which are known for reliably supporting Democratic candidates and policies. The challengers are backed by the conservative Center for Individual Rights. Arguing for the group of teachers, Michael Carvin said mandatory fees serve to “inflate the union’s war chest by people who really have not made a voluntary decision to do so.� Some justices were more sympathetic to the unions. Elena Kagan warned that the challengers “come here with a heavy burden� to overturn a nearly 40-year-old case on

People participate in a rally Monday at the Supreme Court in Washington, D.C. The court heard arguments in the Friedrichs v. California Teachers Association case, which challenges the right of public-employee unions to collect fees from teachers, firefighters and other state and local government workers who choose not to become members.
Rosalind LaRocque of Upper Marlboro, Md., who is a member of the American Teachers Union and is pro-agency fees, joins the rally Monday outside the Supreme Court in Washington, D.C. which thousands of contracts and millions of employees rely. Justice Stephen Breyer said overturning Abood would require the court to overrule several related cases in which the high court has approved mandatory payments by lawyers to bar associations and mandatory student fees at public universities, calling that “quite a big deal.� But Carvin said Abood’s

McSweeney’s bill also mandates approval has to be done by a roll-call vote at an open meeting, and explicitly states said expenses are public documents under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act. High-profile questionable expenses in recent years include the Chicago Transit Authority spending more than
$60,000 since 2010 to send people to places such as Hawaii and Las Vegas for pension-related conferences, and a oneschool district on Chicago’s South Side spending at least $65,000 to send board members and staff to nationwide conferences. The bill has not yet been assigned to a committee. House members were supposed to convene this week for the start of the spring legislative session, but Speaker Michael Madigan canceled the session until Jan. 27, when Gov. Bruce Rauner is scheduled to give the State of the State Address. Illinois is now in its seventh month without a budget.
Civil suit is second to be filed • LAWSUIT
Continued from page A3 said the picture in question was one of Page and Page’s wife accessible to anyone with access to Facebook. Casamento said he removed it at Page’s request. Page’s lawsuit is the second legal civil lawsuit in recent months involving him and Casamento. Casamento filed a $2 million lawsuit against Page, another officer and the village Dec. 18, the day McHenry County prosecutors dropped battery charges against Casamento. Page had charged Casamento
after alleging that Casamento hit him with a door as he left an administrative hearing at Bull Valley Village Hall. Casamento maintained the arrest was in retaliation for criticizing Page and the police department’s use of an ordinance to ticket work vehicles that are not marked. “I’d like to call it a Hail Mary pass. It’s trying to slow me down in my efforts and results I’ve achieved this far,� Casamento said of Page’s lawsuit. “They are baseless accusations.� Page did not answer a request for comment. His attorney, Robert Hanlon, did not return a request for comment.
rationale is inconsistent with other free-speech cases, noting that the court twice in recent years has issued 5-4 opinions questioning the rationale of that earlier case, although it has stopped short of overruling it. Arguing for the California Teachers Association, lawyer David Frederick said the First Amendment applies differently to public employees. He
said the state has a strong interest in promoting efficiency and avoiding costly workplace disruptions by designating the union as workers’ exclusive bargaining representative. The Obama administration also weighed in to support the unions. Solicitor General Donald Verrilli told the justices that there has been no change in circumstances over the past 40 years to warrant overturning Abood. For decades, the growth of union workers in government has helped compensate for steep losses in manufacturing, construction and other private industries where unions once thrived. About half of all members are now in the public sector, which has a membership rate of 36 percent. That’s more than five times the private sector, at 6.6 percent. Even if the court doesn’t overturn settled precedent, it still could give the challengers a partial victory. The justices also are considering whether public employees should be required to “opt in� to paying the political portion of union dues.

The sad fact is I can’t find when [was] the last time Illinois truly had a balanced budget. It’s a long, long time ago. We’ve always had deficits, and we’ve played budget gimmicks and games. We’ve had kick-thecan pension ramps. We’ve done everything but have truly balanced budgets. This is not like some shocking, “Wow,� new development in Illinois. This has been going on for decades. The key is structural reform and our proposals – our six bills that sometimes [Speaker Michael Madigan] says, “Well, they’re nonbudget.� They’re directly related to the budget. If we can put in pro-business, pro-growth reforms, we can raise billions in new revenue from the new growth, the economic reform. If we pass pension reform, which is one of our bills, we can save billions in expenses. These things are tied to the budget. ... They’re not extreme. Other states have done it. They will help the middle class. They’ll help grow wages. And they’re necessary.
funding or minimum wage. I’ve been willing to put that on the table. But so far, the speaker has been just unwilling to negotiate any compromises – nothing. He’s just focused on the election and posturing for the next election and fundraising for the next election.
Coleman: The other structural change you mentioned is the pensions. Can you talk about what you’d like to see happen in that area? Rauner: I’m cautious-
ly optimistic that that’s an exciting area that we can improve. We’ve had a breakthrough I think in recent weeks. One of the big things we’ve agreed on is in pensions. We’ve agreed on the basic concept of how to change the pensions in a constitutional way. That’s a big breakthrough. Now it’s just a question of which items of compensation get included in consideration to either tie people to choosing tier one pension or tier two pension or tier three pension, [options that under previous proposals have included less generous pension benefits in exchange for higher salaries, vacation and a switching bonus]. If we do it right, we can save over $2 billion for Coleman: Speaking of struc- the taxpayers of Illinois. I’m tural reforms, some would cautiously optimistic. Maycriticize that you’ve been all be this year we can do some or nothing on them. Can you pension reform.
speak to that criticism? Rauner: I think that’s
goofy spin from some of my opponents. We’ve taken many things off the table. The state needs many reforms. We’ve taken most of them off the table. One of the biggest is we’ve taken right to work off the table. We’ve taken empowerment zones off the table. That’s a huge issue because we’re bleeding out our manufacturing base. Manufacturers are leaving Illinois in droves. Thousands of manufacturing jobs are leaving. Those are good-paying, high-quality jobs. They’re going to more labor flexible states. They’re going to right-to-work states. It would be hugely powerful for our state if we could have some counties compete with Texas and Tennessee and South Carolina and Indiana. But I’ve taken it off the table. And there are other things I’ve taken off the table, and I’ve been willing to add things too that Democrats want on education
Coleman: And you’re confident that it’s constitutional because that’s been one of the big roadblocks? Rauner: We are. Until the Supreme Court rules, nobody will know 100 percent, but I think we’ve all agreed that it’s extremely likely that it’s constitutional.
Coleman: How do you expect the next three years to go? Much the same? Rauner: [Laughs]. Change
will always be hard, and we’re going to try to drive change every year, so we’ll have challenges every year. That said, I believe we’ll begin to make some breakthroughs. You know, we did have some big breakthroughs. We agreed on unemployment insurance reform. That was a big deal. We agreed on public safety reform. That was a big deal. We agreed on how to fix the unbalanced $1.6 billion deficit from last year. That was a big deal. We have gotten things done. We will get things done. It’s just the structural change is hard.
Philanthropy a mix of time, talent, treasures SPONSORED BY
Like the idea of being a philanthropist but don’t know where to begin? Don’t let the idea that deep pockets are needed hold you back. “’Philanthropist’ can be a scary word because it seems to imply you have to be wealthy and write huge checks and that’s simply not the case,� said Robin Doeden, executive director of the McHenry County Community Foundation. More importantly, a philanthropist is an individual who wants to give back. “And that could be time, talent or treasure,� Doeden said. At the McHenry County Community Foundation, which connects donors with nonprofits that match their charitable interests, checks come through for $5 up to $5 million. “And I consider all of them philanthropists,� Doeden said. “Anybody who has a desire to give back and make a difference -- they’re absolutely a philanthropist.� So don’t let the idea that a bank account as big as Bill Gates is needed.
“I think one of the hardest things about being generous these days is that there are so many organizations to choose from,� Doeden said. “Trying to find out what you’re really passionate about tends to make people freeze.� Her suggestion? “Start by give small gifts to several organizations and test the waters to see what feels like it’s a good fit,� she said. “Get to know the organizations and then start narrowing it down to what your true passions are.� And while funding is a critical part of being a philanthropist, it’s not the only way to give back. “Giving is one piece of it,� Doeden said. “But get involved with the organization. There are so many in need of volunteers and services. There are things you can give that might not be dollars. If you have the time and passion to get involved and really get to know the organization, you’re going to find different ways to support them that will be more than writing a check.�

Harness the power of habits in 2016 As I walked into the gym this week, the crowded floor quickly reminded me it is that time of the year again. The holidays and increased time to relax often leads to reflection on what is working and what is less effective in our lives. As a result, January is filled with a flurry of activity designed to change the aspects of our lives that we are unhappy with. Whether your goal is personal or professional, new research may help you develop workable strategies to replace less productive habits with positive ones. In his book, “The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business,” Charles Duhigg, an investigative reporter for the New York Times, explains the behavioral science behind habits. More importantly, he explores how we can restructure existing behaviors to better serve our goals. Duhigg states, “Once you understand that habits can change, you have the freedom – and the responsibility – to
CHAMBER NEWS Mary Margaret Maule remake them.” The book is based on the idea that habits involve a feedback loop with three parts – a cue, a routine and a reward. For a habit to stick, all three parts must be present. To harness the power of a habit, you need to work with the existing behavior, keep the old cue and the old reward, but insert a new routine. The key is understanding the true triggers and the real reward. Duhigg uses his own behavior as an example of this. Every afternoon at 3:30, he would go to the cafeteria to buy a chocolate chip cookie. He wanted to eliminate the cookie from his daily diet. But he couldn’t just tell himself to stop. So, he substituted alternatives to the routine. He either drank coffee, took a walk or ate a healthy alternative.
It wasn’t until he considered the real reward of his behavior that he was able to make the change. He found the real reward was not the sweet, but rather the socialization of the trip to the cafeteria. He was able to fulfill the reward by talking to co-workers without going to the cafeteria – same reward, different routine. He explains that while it is great to have goals, you really need to identify behaviors and actionable activities, and you need to outline the actions you can routinely execute. Without a reward, it’s less likely the habit will stick. Duhigg states, “First, there’s a cue, which triggers the habit to start and makes your brain go into autopilot mode, then the behavior itself, and then a reward, which is how the brain learns to remember and crave this pattern.” It’s important to schedule effectively your activities, as well as your rewards. If right after exercising you’re stressed because you have
to rush to work, the habit is unlikely to stick. Duhigg warns readers setbacks also are a part of the process. Sometimes, even our best efforts aren’t enough, but this doesn’t mean you should quit. Each setback gets you closer to your goal. It is a matter of looking at “failures” as data collection, and identifying things that did not work, analyzing a setback and looking for ways to effectively change the routine. Data demonstrates that more than 40 percent of our daily activities are habits. “Only by adjusting daily habits is it possible to meet long-term goals,” Duhigg states. “The key to exercising regularly, losing weight, raising exceptional children, becoming more productive, building revolutionary companies and social movements, and achieving success is understanding how habits work.” When you look at your customers – or potential customers – identify opportunities that can become part of a new

OPINIONS TUESDAY
OUR VIEW
A look at Rauner’s first year When Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner was sworn into office one year ago, he said: “Each person here today and all those throughout the state will be called upon to share in the sacrifice so that one day we can again share in Illinois’ prosperity. We all must shake up our old ways of thinking.” There was sacrifice in Rauner’s first year as governor, but it did not come from cutbacks and austerity – rathFor the record er, from things breaking down. Year One for Rauner will be It was a year in remembered for operating half which Rauner the year without a state budproved adept at get, which has led to increased disrupting the spending through court orders workings of state and piecemeal funding, and a government, but lot of pain for the state’s social not in working service agencies, some of with the majorwhich have closed doors they ity Democrats to say will not be reopened. pass meaningful legislation that would change the state’s direction. Is our state better off one year into Rauner’s first term than when he took office? The answer is debateable and largely depends on how easy or difficult you expected it would be for Rauner to accomplish his goals. The hope is that through continued commitment to the reforms Rauner is pushing for, it will be. Rauner, a Republican, promised to shake things up in Springfield. No more status quo. He was going to run Illinois like a business and turnaround our state, which was – still is – dealing with unprecedented financial difficulties. Year One for Rauner will be remembered for operating half the year without a state budget, Gov. Bruce Rauner which has led to increased spending through court orders and piecemeal funding, and a lot of pain for the state’s social service agencies, some of which have closed doors they say will not be reopened. The impasse continues into Year Two. Democratic leadership in Springfield, namely House Speaker Mike Madigan, passed a fiscal 2016 budget with a $4 billion deficit between expenses and revenue. Status quo in Illinois. Rauner rejected the budget and the status quo, which he was elected to do. Neither side has budged since then. Democrats want a combination of cuts and a tax increase to settle the budget deficit. Rauner is open to increasing taxes if he gets his suggested reforms, saying he won’t “put in a significant new tax and change nothing.” Those reforms deal with reducing the cost of doing business in Illinois, limiting the power of unions and establishing term limits for lawmakers. These are the kind of reforms voters elected Rauner to enact. By putting him into office, voters expressed a desire to change how business is conducted in Springfield. To think change would come quickly or without pain, considering power in the General Assembly is held by Democrats Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton, would not be a fair expectation. As his title implies, however, it is Rauner’s responsibility to govern. In Year One under Rauner, Illinois has been more dysfunctional, not less. If Rauner was to be graded for his first year in office, he’d get an incomplete because of the budget impasse and growing pension liability. He touts among his first-year accomplishments record funding for education, eliminating a $1.6 billion deficit inherited from the previous administration for the last fiscal year, agreeing to new collective bargaining agreements with most state government unions that included merit pay for the most productive employees and landmark public safety legislation. There’s no doubt the state needs a budget. It needed a budget seven months ago. There’s no doubt Rauner and Republican leadership along with Madigan and Democratic leadership need to treat the situation with more urgency. In his first year, Rauner has made good on his promise to shake things up. In his second, he needs to show he also can work with the Legislature to create a new order that works for the people of Illinois. We can’t go on forever at an impasse on matters of taxes, spending and pay and retirement benefits for state employees.

IT’S YOUR WRITE Appointments suspicious
To the Editor: Many months ago, a friend asked me to pay attention to the functioning of our McHenry Township government. He was confident if I did so I wouldn’t like what I saw. He particularly wanted me to watch the pattern of resignations and subsequent appointments to vacancies on the township board and at the road district, each a separate taxing body. He was right. It seems to follow the predicted script so closely it’s hard to believe it wasn’t worked out ahead of time. I guess I don’t know how that could have been worked out without violating some open meetings transparency guidelines. I’d be surprised if there was any irrefutable proof that happened, but it could be that is exactly what happened. We’ll maybe never know for certain, but they’ve attracted my attention. I’ve been sitting on the sidelines and complaining about government and taxes without doing anything for too long. It’s been said that all politics are local. This is probably a good place to get involved. Tyler Munson McHenry
Follow recommendations
To the Editor: Re: Northwest Herald Jan. 5 headline “Local governments, voters should have power to consolidate Illinois local governments, report says.”
Remember on election day McHenry County Board Chairman Joe Gottemoller and his bunch don’t agree. Their excuse for voting the consolidation referendum down – because it would raise taxes on half of the residents consolidated – ignores that it would lower taxes on the other half. Following the task force recommendation of locking in the lower tax rate of the two consolidating townships would eliminate any tax increase. Robert Bachta McHenry
Reeder a paid propagandist
To the Editor: Daniel, a 16-month-old, suffocated when a portable crib collapsed on top of him. Baby Amelia nearly drowned when she flipped underwater while in her bath seat. There’s a good reason thrift stores don’t accept used nursery products – there is too much risk a defective or recalled item will get through and seriously hurt or kill a child.

state’s attorney. Kenneally’s prosecutorial credentials are impressive. Since being hired in 2007, he has done essentially every job in the state’s attorney’s office. In only five years, he went from traffic court to special prosecutions. Along the way, he has tried more than 90 cases at all levels of the justice system. As a domestic violence prosecutor, Kenneally changed the way domestic violence cases were prosecuted by trying and winning despite fearful victims refusing to appear in court. For his efforts, Kenneally earned Turning Point’s Peace and Justice Award. As a special prosecutor, Kenneally was personally responsible for prosecuting the most dangerous and violent offenders, including murderers, rapists, armed robbers, child molesters and killer drunk drivers. We offer our unconditional support of Kenneally and believe he is the best man for the job. Paula Dorion-Gray Prairie Grove

Trump’s birther strategy expands to party I am struck, this week, by Donald Trump’s triumphant return to his birtherism strategy. He’s raising the question about Ted Cruz, saying it could be “very precarious” for the party if Cruz is the nominee given his affiliation with Canada. Trump enjoys doing this sort of thing, and it seems to have brought him solid results so far. Why stop at Cruz? Yes, it helps that you can picture Cruz being born in Canada. (Other theories I would entertain about Cruz’s birth include: he appeared one morning on a large uninhabited asteroid with a single rose on it; he was born in the middle of a big fire and then a lumberjack came out of the building holding Cruz in his arms totally unharmed, and ever since the element of fire has responded to Ted’s call;
VIEWS Alexandra Petri Cruz was not born at all, he just emerged fully formed from the head of someone delivering an impassioned filibuster; Cruz came into being nine months after his father scaled a wall to pick the rampion in Ronald Reagan’s garden.) But here’s a preview of some other stratagems Donald will probably try to narrow the rest of the field. Ted Cruz: Canada. “Do we want a candidate who could be tied up in court for two years?’ That’d be a big problem.” Ben Carson: This man insisted he stabbed his friend in the belt and attacked his
mother with a hammer! He says he was born, but can we be sure of anything he says? John Kasich: Who? Marco Rubio: He looks 12 to me. He can run next year. Hillary Clinton: I keep hearing from very credible sources she was created in a lab by a focus group, not born. I have nothing against a woman president, but I object to a woman president who is also a robot. To me, that’s too much. I think most voters would agree. Bernie Sanders: Wasn’t he born before the United States was officially a nation? It’s OK, I can make age jokes, I am 69 years young. Jeb(!) Bush: I think there is a rule against a third president being in office from the same family. I am 90 percent sure. Check the Constitution, you’ll
see it. Carly Fiorina: Nothing against her, beautiful woman, but you need people to vote for you before you can be president. I didn’t make the system, that’s just what they tell me. Chris Christie: Christie was born in New Jersey, and I think that speaks for itself. Also it would be weird if the president had a first and last name that were mostly the same. There should be a rule about this. Mike Huckabee: Are Fox News contributors allowed to be president? Rand Paul: What’s a Rand Paul? • Alexandra Petri writes the Washington Post’s ComPost blog, offering a lighter take on the news and opinions of the day.

TUESDAY
Probe into 1996 murder of teacher still ongoing By KATRINA J.E. MILTON kmilton@shawmedia.com Amy Todd Fleming loved to bake and spend time with her family. Sherie Newman, Fleming’s sister, remembers Fleming baking cookies for family and friends at Christmastime, giving her homemade goods away to her grandparents and the elderly. Newman wishes her sister could have made cookies with her nieces and nephews this year. It has been 20 years since Fleming last baked cookies. It’s been 20 Amy Todd years since she Fleming last laughed with her father and 20 years since her mother heard her voice. On Jan. 11, 1996, Fleming, 25, was found strangled at her home off Route 30 in rural Lee. The case remains unsolved. Police believe they know some things about the crime – that it wasn’t a random act, and it wasn’t a burglary, even though the killer might have tried to make it look that way. They also believe some people they questioned during their investigation have been untruthful and evasive. But no one ever has faced charges in connection with Fleming’s murder. “This is still very much an open case, with new information being found and interviews being conducted,” Lee County Detective Sgt. Shane Miller said. “Leads still come in, and we compare old and new evidence. New fingerprints are being checked against ones found at the
January 12, 2016
scene. It’s still an ongoing process.” Lee County Sheriff John Simonton said his office will continue searching for Fleming’s killer. “We are still working on the case, and we follow every lead that we possibly can,” Simonton said. “I will not put this into a cold case file. It will be continuously worked. We will follow up until there’s nothing else to follow. We will pursue this case and bring the killer to justice.”
The murder
Fleming, a middle school special education teacher at Indian Creek School District 425, failed to show up to work Jan. 11, 1996. Concerned co-workers visited her house. Claudia Hicks, who worked in the school’s office, was one of the people who found Fleming’s body. “Part of my job was to assign substitute teachers to fill positions, and I did not receive a call from her that day,” said Hicks, who is now mayor of Shabbona. “When I called her that morning and she didn’t answer, I knew something wasn’t right. ... I never imagined that she would have been murdered.” Fleming’s body was found in her home at 9:30 a.m., Simonton said. A family member was the last person known to have contact with Fleming, in a phone call about 8:30 p.m. Jan. 10. Fleming presumably was home alone at the time; her husband, Derek Fleming, was at an out-of-state cattle show. Law enforcement agencies throughout northern Illinois assisted with the case, including officers from Boone, Lee,
DeKalb, Ogle, Stephenson, Whiteside and Winnebago county sheriff’s departments, Illinois State Police and the FBI. More than 500 interviews were conducted. Evidence from Fleming’s case takes up the majority of the Lee County Sheriff’s Department’s major-case evidence room.
Still unsolved
According to DeKalb County Sheriff Roger Scott, one aspect that has made the case difficult to solve is that there is no known motive for her murder. “It might sound cliché, but everybody that knew her loved her,” Scott said. “She was an excellent school teacher and was a person of strong character. She had no bad habits, connections or characteristics. She was a quality individual loved by all.” Simonton said investigators believe the person who strangled Fleming attempted to make it look like a burglary, taking a Quasar microwave and a Sharp VCR from the house. Simonton thinks Fleming’s murderer was someone she knew. He also has found individuals to be untruthful, but he has no evidence to tie them to the crime scene. Technological advances, including new fingerprint and DNA technology, have assisted the case, but Scott said that what solves cases is good, old-fashioned police work. It’s likely that, by now, someone other than the killer has information about Fleming’s murder, he added. “It’s hard to believe that the killer has not shared information somehow with someone, somewhere over the years,” he said.

STATE BRIEFS Jury selection begins in ex-Chicago official’s trial
CHICAGO – Jury selection got underway Monday in the federal trial of a former Chicago transportation official accused of accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash and gifts to steer more than $100 million in red-light camera contracts to a Phoenix-based company. John Bills is accused of fixing a key commission vote to secure an initial deal for Redflex Traffic Systems Inc. in 2003. It signed others later for Chicago’s first red-light enforce- John Bills ment program. Prosecutors say Bills, 54, accepted hotel stays, vacations, sports tickets and cash bribes. U.S. District Judge Virginia Kendall told prospective jurors she had hoped to finish jury selection Monday. However, the effort was slowed when most of the 40-person jury pool raised their hands when asked if they had ever received a red-light camera ticket, the Chicago Tribune reported. Several expressed strong feelings about the program. “I think the yellow lights are too short,” said one woman, who was sent home, as was a physician who said the entire red-light camera program was unfair. Jury selection is to resume Tuesday.
Chicago firefighters suffer minor injuries during fire CHICAGO – Officials said seven Chicago firefighters suffered minor injuries while battling an extra-alarm blaze in frigid temperatures. The fire was in an apartment building on the city’s North Side early Monday. The Chicago Tribune reported that three of the firefighters were taken
in good condition to St. Francis Hospital in suburban Evanston and four others were taken in fair to good condition to Swedish Covenant Hospital in Chicago. Details about the injuries weren’t available.
Ill. health system forms ‘accountable care’ service
SPRINGFIELD – Health officials said more than 500,000 Medicare patients in Illinois will have their health care needs coordinated by federally designated “accountable care organizations” this year. Springfield-based Hospital Sisters Health System is one of several new such networks serving Illinois patients. Spokesman Brian Reardon said more than 21,000 patients will be part of the Hospital Sisters Health System accountable care organization, or ACO. Medicare officials announced Monday 121 new ACOs across the nation. Accountable care organizations are networks of doctors and hospitals that collaborate to better serve patients with chronic medical conditions. One goal is to lower costs. The groups can share in any savings with the government if they meet quality targets.
Irish drugmaker Shire in $32B deal for Baxalta
TRENTON, N.J. – Irish drugmaker Shire PLC’s second attempt to buy Baxalta looks more likely to succeed, with Baxalta’s board backing the sweetened offer of $32 billion in cash and stock. If the deal goes through, the combined company would be one of the world’s top 20 drugmakers by revenue and a leader in the sizzling niche of rare disease medicines. Shire said it will give Baxalta shareholders $18 in cash and a portion of a Shire share for each Baxalta share, for a
per-share price of $45.57 based on Friday’s closing price of Shire’s U.S.-traded stock. Shares in both companies dropped on the news. The Shire and Baxalta boards have agreed to the deal, which they expect to close year around mid-year and save more than $500 million annually. However, shareholders and some regulators must approve it. Baxalta spun off last July from Deerfield-based drugmaker Baxter International Inc. Shire promptly made an initial run at Bannockburn-based Baxalta, which then rejected that $30 billion all-stock bid as too low. Shire said its latest offer – which includes an infusion of cash – represents a premium of nearly 38 percent to Baxalta’s share price before Shire announced its previous bid. Baxalta shareholders would end up with about 34 percent of the combined company.
Ex-law firm employee pleads guilty to theft
WHEATON – A 55-year-old Wilmington woman pleaded guilty to stealing more than $500,000 from the Naperville law firm where she worked over six years. DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin said Le Anna Kelty pleaded guilty to one count of theft on Friday before Judge Robert Miller. Officials said Kelty worked in the law firm’s accounting department. From November 2006 to February 2013, she forged her employers’ signatures several times and deposited unauthorized checks from the firm to her personal bank accounts. A year after Kelty left the firm an audit confirmed discrepancies in the books that employees had discovered. Kelty faces a prison term of four to 15 years. – Wire reports

David Bowie dies from cancer at age 69 By MESFIN FEKADU The Associated Press NEW YORK – David Bowie, the chameleon-like star who transformed the sound – and the look – of rock with his audacious creativity and his sexually ambiguous makeup and costumes, died of cancer Sunday. Bowie, whose hits included “Space Oddity,� “Fame,� “Heroes� and “Let’s Dance,� died surrounded by family, representative Steve Martin said early Monday. The singer, who was 69, had fought cancer for 18 months. Long before alter egos and wild outfits became com-
monplace in pop, Bowie turned the music world upside down with the release of the 1972 album, “The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars� which introduced one of music’s most famous personas. “Ziggy Stardust� was a concept album that imagined a rock star from outer space trying to make his way in the music world. The persona – the red-headed, eyeliner-wearing Stardust – would become an enduring part of Bowie’s legacy, and a touchstone for the way entertainers packaged themselves for years to come. Bowie’s birthday was Fri-
day, the same day as he released his new album, “Blackstar.� A statement on social media asked fans to respect the family’s privacy. No more details were provided. Born David Jones in London, the singer came of age in the early 1970s glam rock era. He had a strikDavid Bowie ing androgynous look in his early days and was known for changing his appearance and sounds. After “Ziggy Stardust,� the stuttering rock sound of “Changes�

gave way to the disco soul of “Fame,� co-written with John Lennon, to a droning collaboration with Brian Eno in Berlin that produced “Heroes.� He had some of his biggest successes in the early 1980s with the bombastic “Let’s Dance,� and a massive American tour. Another one of his definitive songs was “Under Pressure,�
The move comes amid increasing scrutiny of circus elephant acts with local governments passing “anti-circus� and “anti-elephant� ordinances in response to concerns over animal cruelty. The circus’s parent company, Feld Entertainment, said all of the iconic elephants will be retired to the company’s 200-acre Center for Elephant Conservation, located between Orlando and Tampa.
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama’s final State of the Union address will unmistakably attempt to frame the choice facing Americans as they select his successor, doling out an optimistic vision of the country’s future in contrast with what he sees as the pessimism that’s pervasive in the Republican primary. Obama won’t directly appeal for Americans to keep the Democratic Party in the White House for a third straight term. And he won’t endorse a specific candidate in the 2016 race. But he will outline domestic and international priorities that build on steps he’s taken during his two terms in office, a vision certain to be more in line with Hillary Clinton and other Democrats than the GOP candidates.

House pushes sanctions bill after nuke bomb test
WASHINGTON – The House pushed ahead on legislation that seeks to punish North Korea for its latest nuclear test by expanding sanctions on Pyongyang, a move with strong bipartisan support despite questions over how effective the new restrictions can be. Lawmakers are scheduled to vote Tuesday on the North Korea Sanctions Enforcement Act, which proposes to deny North Korea the hard currency they say it needs for its weapons programs. But former State Department officials said any new sanctions won’t have teeth unless China makes a major shift in policy toward its rebellious ally. Separately, a panel of experts on North Korea said existing United Nations sanctions against the reclusive country are going unenforced.

A sign advertising the Powerball lottery hangs Monday on a store in New York. The jackpot is so big that billboards around the country have to advertise the prize as $999 million because they’re not built to show billions.
Top Powerball prize stirs misconceptions By SCOTT MCFETRIDGE The Associated Press DES MOINES, Iowa – With up to $1.4 billion at stake in Wednesday’s Powerball, questions about the drawing seem to be as abundant as the convenience-store kiosks offering tickets for the record-breaking jackpot. The inquiries include many myths and misconceptions about the winners, the prize money and the system that decides them.
Why are all the jackpot winners from certain states?
Officials with the MultiState Lottery Association, a group of state lotteries that oversee Powerball, said this is one of the most frequent complaints. It’s “human nature to think the other guy is winning,� said Sally Lunsford, public affairs director for the Kansas Lottery. It’s also wrong, although there are anomalies. For example, in the past two years, Missouri and Tennessee have each been home to three Powerball jackpot winners, while New York, the nation’s fourth most populous state, has only had one winner during that span. Lottery officials, backed by mathematicians, said probabilities equal out over time, but in shorter periods, oddities can occur, in the same way someone could flip a coin and get heads five times in a row.
The Powerball jackpot overstates the winnings
There’s more of a rationale behind this claim. The jackpot is the amount paid out over 30 years and not the amount a winner could receive immediately. So while the current jackpot is listed at $1.4 billion, a sole winner would only get that much if the person received 29 annual payments. Winners also can choose the cash prize, which is the total amount currently up for grabs, but that is “only� $868 million. Gary Grief, executive director of the Texas Lottery, responded that Powerball prominently displays both the annuity and cash prize figures. The bigger number gets more attention, and Grief said lotteries have taken that approach for decades. “When the prize gets so big, the critics come out as well,� he said.
Winners who take an annuity face big tax dangers
One of the most persistent misconceptions, officials said, is that winners risk tax trouble if they opt for an annuity but die before all 29 payments are made. Terry Rich, chief executive of the Iowa Lottery, said he’s heard this one frequently and repeatedly explains that if someone dies, that person’s estate will treat the annuity like any other asset.
The Associated Press MEXICO CITY – Actor Sean Penn said he has “nothin’ to hide,� after images published Monday indicated he was under surveillance when he met with the Mexican actress who led him to Joaquin “El Chapo� Guzman – and the pair was apparently followed and photographed as they set out for the supposedly secret meeting with the drug lord. In a brief email exchange with The Associated Press, Penn also dismissed criticism over his interview with the fugitive, who was captured on Friday, a day before Penn’s 10,000-word story was published in Rolling Stone magazine. Mexican officials have said that contacts between Guzman’s lawyers and Penn and actress Kate del Castillo helped them track down the fugitive, and they raided his hideout in rural Durango state a few days after their Oct. 2 meeting. Guzman evaded authorities then, but was finally captured after a shootout Friday in the Pacific coast state of Sinaloa.
PY HAP NEW R YEA
Penn wrote in the Rolling Stone article of elaborate security precautions, including switching phones. As he flew to Mexico for the meeting, he wrote, “I see no spying eyes, but I assume they are there.� He was right – and they had apparently been following del Castillo for months based on contacts with Guzman’s lawyers. The Mexican newspaper El Universal published 10 images Monday that appeared to show Penn being monitored as he arrived in Mexico. In the photographs, Penn, wearing dark glasses and a baseball cap, is shown arriving with del Castillo at an airport, then at a hotel, and greeting the men who apparently took them to a small airstrip, from which they flew to the jungle camp to meet Guzman. The newspaper said the photos were part of a Mexican government intelligence file it had obtained. Asked about the images Monday, Penn would only say: “I’ve got nothin’ to hide.� The actor also shrugged off a suggestion that he was “taking hits� for agreeing to submit his article to Guzman before publication by Rolling Stone.

DAMASCUS, Syria – Aid convoys delivered long-awaited food, medicine and other supplies to three besieged Syrian communities Monday, part of a U.N.-supported operation to help tens of thousands of civilians cut off for months by the fighting. Reports of starvation and images of emaciated children have raised global concerns and underscored the urgency for new peace talks that the U.N. is hoping to host Jan. 25 in Geneva. U.N. humanitarian chief Stephen O’Brien said about 400 people in the hospital in the besieged mountain village of Madaya must be evacuated immediately to receive life-saving medical attention.

Tigers make do with no players from Class of 2016 By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com
C
rystal Lake Central junior Kyle Knoeppel watched his brother Brad play for the Tigers during a terrific three-year run, hoping a few years later he and his friends might enjoy similar success. Brad played on the 2012 and 2013 teams, which went 47-10 and won a Class 4A regional championship. The
team before that was 24-5 and won a Class 3A regional. Those teams were long on experience, always replacing graduating starters with reserves who saw significant minutes the previous season. The Central team has none of that. The Tigers are a rarity – an established program (not a new school) with no senior players and only a couple who had any varsity time at all last season. It has produced a dif-
ferent kind of season for the players and 10th-year coach Rich Czeslawski. “It’s not really easy to win when we don’t have experience, but we keep working hard and some things go well and we’ll improve a lot,” said Knoeppel, a 5-foot-5 guard. “Losing definitely is not fun, but we need to find little joys in practice and games that we can build off of and keep going.” Central is 2-13 with wins against
Woodstock North (in three overtimes) and Westminster Christian. While the Tigers have made strides defensively, offense remains a constant struggle. Central followed its 71-15 run from 2011 through 2013 with seasons of 3-25 and 8-19. Czeslawski and his staff sensed three years ago that the Class of 2016 might not be a productive

He saw an opening and tossed a one-handed pass at the basket. His brother, Ben, bolted toward the paint, grabbed Michael’s perfectly timed lob and slammed it into the hoop. The alley-oop sent the Marengo gym into a frenzy. The bench players hopped to their feet. One held his
hands in a circle and another dunked a make-believe basketball. Later, once a 7339 blowout was solidified, the Indians’ coaches asked the brothers about the play, figuring it was something they practiced on their backMichael yard hoop. Volkening “We don’t practice alley-oops at all,” Ben said. “I think it’s just the chemistry, just always playing together and being together that makes it perfect al-
most every time.” “It just runs in the blood,” Michael added. “That’s what it is.” Coaches will say successful teams are built on unity, togetherness and cohesion. Or, to use the word they often choose: brotherhood. On the Indians (8-5 overall, 2-2 Big Northern Conference East), the Volkening brothers make this link more literal. Watch them in any of the Indians’ games and it’s easy to spot the contributions the two starters Matthew Apgar – mapgar@shawmedia.com make. Marengo’s Ben Volkening shoots over

Johnsburg’s Bryce Jordan on Dec. 15 in Marengo.
The simple fact is that nobody other than Bears coach John Fox really knows whether it’s a good idea to make Dowell Loggains his offensive coordinator, and obviously he thinks it is. Not so long ago the guys on the beat knew everybody on the coaching staff of the teams they covered, Dowell we talked to Loggains them whenever we wanted and we often had better relationships and more conversation with the position coaches than we did the bosses. That all started to change five, six or seven years ago when head coaches got the idea their assistants shouldn’t be allowed to talk to the media in the misguided belief it would somehow help them keep more in house and provide less advantage to their opponents by more tightly controlling the message. Many blame Bill Parcells and Bill Belichick for the trend, but honestly I don’t know where it really took off or who is the most responsible, and it’s not universal, but it is going on in many NFL cities these days, including Chicago. Obviously, I think it’s dumb, but my purpose here is neither to editorialize about that nor complain, the policy is what it is. Media access to Loggains, who was promoted from quarterbacks coach to OC on Monday, has been exceptionally limited since he arrived in Chicago, and anyone in the media with a strong opinion about his qualifications might be making it up as they go. Fox did an excellent job of putting together his initial staff, and so my instinct here is to trust that he knows what he’s doing and he isn’t returning us to the days of John Shoop, Terry Shea or Mike Tice. There are a number of veteran and accomplished offensive coordinator types on the street

NO. 1 CLEMSON 40
Saban’s gutsy call sparks Alabama Onside kick leads to go-ahead TD, victory By RALPH D. RUSSO The Associated Press GLENDALE, Ariz. – Alabama needed it all to win the toughest national title game it had ever played during the Nick Saban dynasty. All of its power. All of its speed. Even one gutsy trick. Derrick Henry, O.J. Howard and Kenyan Drake hit No. 1 Clemson with long touchdowns, and Alabama outlasted the dynamic play of dual-threat quarterback Deshaun Watson to win the College Football Playoff championship, 45-40, Mon-
day night. The Crimson Tide (14-1) won their three previous championship game appearances in runaway fashion. This game was an instant classic – a welcome relief for fans who sat through the blowouts that turned the New Year’s Six lineup into a dud. It finally turned on maybe the boldest call of Saban’s career. “This was a great challenge for us,” Saban said. With 10:34 left in the fourth quarter and Alabama having just tied the game with a short field goal, Saban took a gamble to try to keep the ball away from Watson and the Tigers. He called for a popup onside kick that Alabama defensive back Marlon Humphrey caught over the shoulder at midfield. Tide ball.
“I think that changed the momentum of the game, and our guys finished it,” Saban said. Moments later, Alabama took back the lead. For the second time, Clemson (14-1) lost track of the tight end Howard in coverage and Jake Coker hit him in stride deep for a 51-yard touchdown to make it 31-24 with 9:45 left. Clemson and Watson proved to be every bit Alabama’s equal. The Tigers just kept coming. Watson led Clemson to a field goal to make it 31-27, and boom! Another Alabama big play. Drake broke free and streaked down the sideline for a 95-yard kickoff return touchdown, diving the last 5 yards to the pylon.

Jacobs baseball coach Jamie Murray led the Golden Eagles to a tie for third place in the Class 4A state tournament this past season. Murray was named coach of the year in Illinois by the IHSA.

IHSA honors Murray
State’s coach of the year eligible for higher honors By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com Jacobs baseball coach Jamie Murray received a letter from the IHSA in October at school and figured it involved the Golden Eagles’ third-place medals from the Class 4A state tournament or a coaching clinic. It was better than that. Murray shared the news with only a few people – including his wife, Jami, and Jacobs athletic director Jeremy Bauer – that the IHSA was recognizing him as baseball coach of the year. The IHSA announced the winners, one for each boys and girls sport, Monday. Murray will advance for the possibility at the National Federation of High School Associations honor in NFHS Section 4 against coaches from Indiana, Iowa, Michigan and Wisconsin. If he wins there, he will go up against the other seven section winners for the national honor. “People are congratulating me and I’m very humbled by that,” Murray said. “I want to make it very clear that I’m blessed to have great talent and an amazing coaching staff.” Jacobs was 29-11 and tied for third place in the Class 4A tournament when the third-place game was called because
“I get the award, but it’s an extension of the players. We’re blessed to have the talent we have.” Jamie Murray Jacobs baseball coach of rain. The Eagles had not won a regional before Murray took over four years ago but have played in three sectional championships (winning two) in the past three years. Murray deflected the credit to his assistant coaches and players for raising Jacobs’ program to its finest seasons. “The loyal assistants, Mike Krueger, Jim Blaseck, Dennis Mellen, the list goes on and on,” Murray said. “We’re so close, and that has been part of our recipe. The relationship is strong, and we have incredible players who have bought in. I get the award, but it’s an extension of the players. We’re blessed to have the talent we have.” The Eagles are one of four Fox Valley Conference Valley Division teams to make the state tournament since 2008. Prairie Ridge (2008, 2014), Cary-Grove (2009) and Huntley (2010) advanced to Jo-
liet before them. Murray was thrilled to carry on that FVC tradition. Grayslake Central, from the FVC Fox Division, also has made multiple state trips in Class 3A. A former pitcher at Bradley, Murray has coached four seasons as Jacobs’ head coach and is 97-53, a winning percentage of .647. He was the only coach from the McHenry County area to win for 2015. The Eagles did not win the Fox Valley Conference Valley Division title, that went to Cary-Grove. But Jacobs came back and won its third consecutive regional, then defeated McHenry and Boylan to win the C-G Sectional. Jacobs then defeated Stevenson for the Rockford Aviators Supersectional title and its first trip to state. “When we started the job here we wanted to play the best competition,” Murray said. “We can bring some recognition to an already strong conference. Glen (Pecoraro) at Prairie Ridge, Don (Sutherland at Cary-Grove) and Andy (Jakubowski at Huntley), there are so many people who have done great things for our conference. I felt like maybe this was an opportunity for Jacobs to do some great things. We’ve been pretty successful with that. “I’m happy that Jacobs gets some recognition for the players that we currently have and have had in our program.”

“Coach talked to us about how it’s kind of the start of a two-year season for us with all of us coming back next year,” Wittenberg said. “We don’t have a guy who will get 20 for us, we have to just keep the intensity high and scrap it out. We can take little things away, even in big losses, and get better every day.” Pump finds it hard to believe his six varsity games, mainly as a reserve, is the most on the team. He said the team was more or less searching for leadership in the preseason. “Not having anyone on your team [with experience] is an extreme situation,” Pump said. “It’s the exact opposite of last year when we had 10 seniors.” Czeslawski doesn’t want his players to become discouraged, but he also doesn’t want to be too soft on them. “It’s another one of those
slippery slopes that they don’t use it as a crutch,” Czeslawski said. “At times you can look at it and say, ‘We’re going to be good next year,’ so this year doesn’t mean as much. You have to keep them focused on that daily progress this year.” Pump does not want to accept moral victories, although he realizes the Tigers’ “wins” must come in smaller ways. “Soon we have to flip that switch, and winning games is important,” Pump said. “I don’t think it’s OK to throw away a whole year trying to be complacent. It’s that balance.” The players want the lack of victories to serve as motivation for next year. “I know it motivates me to get in there and work harder,” Wittenberg said, “thinking about how it feels going out there and not getting the results we want every night.”
Best of Volkening brothers may be 6th-grader • VOLKENINGS Continued from page C2 Look, there’s Michael, commanding the point guard position with a scorer’s mentality. At 6-foot-3, he launches 3-pointers, flashes to the hole and finishes with contact under the hoop. This season, he’s one of the area’s top 10 scorers, averaging 15.6 points a game. He dishes the ball inside to Ben. The Indians center uses his size to gain position on defenders, rejects opponents’ shots like they’re off-brand credit cards and – thanks to his 6-5 frame – is the proud recipient of his brother’s alley-oop passes.
That brings up an important question. How did Ben end up with all the height? “He’s been asking me that question my whole life,” Ben said. “Yeah, that’s unfair,” Michael quipped. “That’s all I’ve got to say about it.” The Volkening brothers’ varied skill sets blossomed during frequent pickup games at the Volkening household, where the bounce of a basketball rumbles like a constant drum roll with four boys and two hoops (one outside and one in the shed). When Andrew is back home from his sophomore year in college, he teams up with the sixth-grader, Matthew, (who
Ben and Michael agree could be the best of the four by the time he’s in high school). Ben and Michael join forces for the other squad. This season, Ben and Michael are enjoying taking the teamwork they developed in the backyard and making an imprint on the varsity roster for one of the first times. During Michael’s sophomore season, he started on and off for the Indians. He became a regular starter for the Indians last season only once his brother broke his ankle. “The bad part about it was he got his chance to start when his brother got hurt and was out,” Marengo coach Nate Wright said.
Coming into this season, the Indians knew what they could expect from Illinois’ single-season 3-point record holder Zach Knobloch. Same with Craiton Nice and most of the others. But among the biggest question marks were how Ben would respond from ankle and back surgeries and how Michael would fit as an everyday starter and one of the team’s leading scorers. “Those are two transitions that are really starting to happen,” Wright said. “I think if we can get those things to work, we’re really going to be hitting our stride in January and February.” A few more alley-oops wouldn’t hurt, either.

Speak up about elder abuse SPONSORED BY
By Gina Kraman It happens in tree-lined suburban neighborhoods, in the inner city, and in posh concierge-staffed nursing homes. More than 500,000 cases of abuse against elderly Americans are reported each year, according to HelpGuide.Org. Elder abuse occurs most frequently in the home where abusers are often adult children, other family member, or spouses. Elder abuse is also reported in institutional settings, especially longterm care facilities, according to HelpGuide. Due to their physical and mental frailty, and often diminished vision and hearing, the elderly are unable fight back from unscrupulous people taking advantage of them. Abuse can include physical intimidation, mental cruelty, sexual misconduct, confinement, neglect, and theft. HelpGuide reveals that complaints of neglect constitute more than half of all elder abuse cases: “It can be intentional or unintentional, based on factors such as ignorance or denial that an elderly charge needs as much care as he or she does.”
Sometimes unethical doctors, nurses, or other professional care providers commit elder abuse by charging for services they fail to provide, double-billing, or overor under-medicating the ones in their care. HelpGuide urges people to watch for signs of elderly abuse, and speak up if they suspect problems. Warning signs include frequent arguments or tension between the caregiver and the elderly charge, and changes in personality or behavior in the elder. Signs of physical abuse include unexplained bruises, welts or scars; broken bones or sprains; broken eyeglasses; and signs of being restrained, such as rope marks on the wrists. General neglect manifests in unusual weight loss, malnutrition, dehydration, bedsores, unsanitary living conditions, and dirty or unsuitable clothing for the weather. Caregivers can experience stress that may lead to unintentional abuse. However, elder abuse should be reported to adult protective service organizations or other authorities to keep everyone safe.

BULLS NOTES
LB Burfict suspended for first 3 games next season
Jump pass continues to land Rose in trouble
CINCINNATI – Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict was suspended for the first three games of next season as the NFL began handing down punishments Monday for an ugly wild-card playoff game. The league also is reviewing the conduct of other players and coaches during Pittsburgh’s 18-16 victory Saturday night at Paul Brown Stadium that turned on penalties against Burfict and Bengals cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones in the final minute. Burfict was penalized for lowering his shoulder and hitting defenseless receiver Antonio Brown in the head after an incompletion with 22 seconds left and the Bengals holding a 16-15 lead. Brown got a concussion from the play. Burfict already had been fined four times for dangerous plays during the season. He got a $50,000 fine for an illegal hit on a Ravens player a week earlier. Burfict also was fined $69,454 for three penalties against the Steelers on Dec. 13: roughing the passer, grabbing the facemask and unnecessary roughness. More punishments are expected from the game, which was marred by numerous altercations between players.
Messi wins 5th FIFA world player award
ZURICH – Now score it Lionel Messi 5, Cristiano Ronaldo 3. Messi won the Ballon d’Or trophy on Monday as the world’s best player in 2015, ending Cristiano Ronaldo’s two-year hold on soccer’s top individual honor. “It’s incredible that it’s my fifth,” said the 28-year-old Barcelona and Argentina forward, who won four straight FIFA awards from 2009 to ’12. Messi earned his record-extending fifth after being runner-up to his great rival for the past two years. “It’s a very special moment for me to be back here on the stage,” Messi said in Spanish in his acceptance speech, “after being there in the audience watching Cristiano win.” Messi got 41.33 percent of total voting points in a 23-candidate ballot. Ronaldo received 27.76 percent and third-place Neymar, Messi’s Barcelona teammate from Brazil, got 7.86 percent. Voting was by national team captains and coaches, plus invited journalists, from FIFA member countries.
Kazakhstan holds vote for new soccer coach
MOSCOW – Kazakhstan fans could choose their country’s next national team coach in an online vote as part of a rare democratic experiment in international soccer. Fans have been offered a choice between a Kazakh or foreign coach on the federation’s website. In the second round, fans will pick a name from a list of coaches, federation spokesman Dmitry Nesterenko told The Associated Press. The candidates will all be realistic hires rather than global stars, Nesterenko said, with “basically, no (Jose) Mourinho,” who recently left Chelsea. However, the Central Asian nation’s foray into Internet democracy has been hampered by low participation. The federation said 50,000 votes would be needed to consider the vote valid, but barely 5 percent of that figure had been reached as of Monday evening, with only four days to go. There was a clear preference for a foreign coach, that option leading by 1,732 votes to 836.

Bulls center Joakim Noah brings the ball up the court in the second quarter against the Washington Wizards on Monday at the United Center. The Bulls lost, 114-100, as Noah returned from a shoulder injury.
WIZARDS 114, BULLS 100
Noah no help in return Center shoots 0 for 7 in first game since injury By JOE COWLEY jcowley@suntimes.com CHICAGO – If the Bulls’ 8-2 record without Joakim Noah this season wasn’t evidence enough of why the organization deems him expendable via trade, Monday night’s 114-100 loss to Washington was a tiny reminder. Making his first appearance since he suffered a small tear in his left shoulder Dec. 21, Noah was not only dealing with rust, but also a diminishing role. Not exactly the sparkplug coach Fred Hoiberg anticipated Noah being, as the free agent-to-be went scoreless in a 0-for-7 showing, twice getting blocked at the rim by guards, and finishing with a minus-9 in the plus/minus category. “Sure, when you miss nine games you’re going to have a little rust,” Hoiberg said of Noah’s return. “Jo had some energy, he had nine rebounds, so it’s out there. He got his feet wet. “I give him a lot of credit for kind of getting that second unit turned around (this season). Again, we talked about him developing chemistry with Doug (McDermott), Niko (Mirotic) was in that lineup for a stretch, and now that will be Bobby (Portis), but Jo really is
the leader of that second group. I think he’s taken pride in that role.” Noah deserves credit for all of that, but that still hasn’t stopped the Bulls from making and taking calls on trade possibilities for Noah, according to multiple sources. Because of the emergence of Portis, the Bulls are looking at a surplus of bigs, even playing Mirotic at the three spot to spread out the minutes. Noah actually had several solid games before the injury, which was driving his value up for the Bulls, but against the Wizards, well, let’s call it his stock taking a slight hit. Noah first checked into the game with 4:33 left in the first quarter, as the Bulls (22-14) were only down 17-14. They actually grabbed the lead with Noah out there in the second quarter on a McDermott jumper, but then watched the bottom fall out when Washington (17-19) went on an 18-2 run. Noah was on the floor for a big chunk of that, going into the halftime locker room minus-11, while shooting 0 for 2 from the floor in just less than 10 minutes of work. The second half wasn’t much better, as Noah played another nine minutes, missed another five shots, but did finish the game with nine rebounds and
four assists. As far as the highly anticipated Portis-Noah tandem? Well, it barely materialized, as Portis was only given six minutes of work until mop-up time late in the game. If Noah’s return does indeed end up costing Portis minutes, however, he seems ready for it. “I’m not worried about minutes,” Portis said. “The only thing I’m worried about is controlling what I can control, and that’s me coming in every day and working as hard as I can. “I’m just playing my role.” Which could be made easier for Portis when, and if, Noah is in fact moved. That remained the big-picture problem facing the Bulls. The smaller picture was a second consecutive loss, and again some serious communication problems on defense. “You’ve got to work on it,” veteran Pau Gasol said of the lingering problem. “Force yourself to speak and communicate out there. “[Washington] wanted it more than we did, and that’s an issue. There’s been a handful of painful losses already, especially in this building, and that’s something that if you want to be a top team, you want to be a title contender, you just can’t afford.”
CHICAGO – It has been a fundamental flaw in Derrick Rose’s game since he came into the NBA. And as first-year coach Fred Hoiberg is finding out, it’s one that Rose remains defiant on correcting. The Bulls point guard loves the jump pass. He even has acknowledged in the past he knows it’s not the smartest basketball play, especially when he leaves the floor and isn’t even sure Derrick Rose where he’s going with the basketball, but it always has been a part of his game. A part of his game he’s not willing to give up, either. It was never really a problem for former coach Tom Thibodeau, and even throughout the first two months of this season it wasn’t real high on the list of Rose miscues. Since returning from a right hamstring issue, however, especially in the Saturday loss in Atlanta, Rose’s jump pass has led to a concerning number of turnovers. There were five turnovers in his first game back last week against Milwaukee, only two against Boston, but then a season-high six turnovers in the Hawks loss. A handful were courtesy of a jump-pass. “You know at times it’s been really good,” Hoiberg said Rose’s decision to take to the air for a pass. “Obviously, he’s found Pau [Gasol] a lot with it, that highball screen, and Pau has knocked down a lot of free-throw line jump shots with that pass. “A lot of times he got himself stuck. I thought he jumped without a purpose on a couple of those [against the Hawks].” The good news for Rose as far as this season was concerned, however, was overall his turnovers have been down. He averaged a 3.2 turnovers per game last season, and twice in his career has averaged 3.4 turnovers per game. Through the first 30 games he’s played in this season? Rose was at 2.8 per game. Grind time: This week marks the only time during the regular season the Bulls will play four games in five nights, and Hoiberg was doing his best to prepare for it. If that means following the Spurs model of sitting out key starters for a game to make sure the players stay fresh, Hoiberg was ready to go down that path, especially as far as Rose and Gasol were concerned. “We have talked about it,” Hoiberg said. “We’ll see how [the first two games go] and just kind of take it day-by-day. That’s the approach we’re taking with this right now. We’ll talk to the guys about how their bodies are feeling. And we’ll make that determination as this stretch goes on.” Minutes man: A lot was made of the Jimmy Butler workload under Thibodeau, especially with him averaging 38.7 minutes per game in back-to-back seasons. This year under Hoiberg? Butler was still leading the league with 37.9 minutes per game.
BLACKHAWKS
New faces keep veteran Hawks energized Next
By MARK LAZERUS mlazerus@suntimes.com CHICAGO – The season opener, and all the excitement and buzz of the banner-raising, was three long months ago. The postseason, and all the adrenaline and emotion that go along with it, is three longs months away. The Blackhawks played 107 games in 2013-14. They played 111 from camp to Cup last season. They’re 45 games into the current campaign, with 37 hohum regular-season games to go before what they hope is another grueling two months of playoff hockey. “This is the [hardest] part, when you’re facing Game 40-something through 70-something,” said Marian Hossa, who is waist-deep in his 17th NHL season, having played in more than 1,400 total games. “It’s a window where you really just have to go step by step, and don’t think too far [ahead].” Traditionally, this has been the toughest stretch of the season for the Hawks. January and February is when they go into hibernation, often coasting through stretches as they preserve themselves for the big playoff push. Last season, they went 5-7-1 in January, and 6-5-2 in February. A year earlier, they went 5-3-6 in January, and 2-2-1

Yet here they sit, in the middle of January, riding a seven-game winning streak, and playing their best, most passionate hockey of the season. How to explain it? Well, Artemi Panarin didn’t play
111 games last season. Neither did Phil Danault, or Dennis Rasmussen, or Erik Gustafsson, or Artem Anisimov, or Ryan Garbutt, or Brandon Mashinter, or, well, you get the point. The influx of new, mostly young players made for a bumpy, transitional start to the season. But it’s also made for a far more energetic, enthusiastic middle of the season, keeping the winter doldrums at bay. “Definitely, that’s helping,” Hossa said. “We have so many new faces, [guys] who have opportunities either from overseas or the minor leagues. Those guys have energy. They probably didn’t play as much hockey as some core guys [have] played before, so that gives us so much more juice in our dressing room, and it’s definitely helping.” It’s never been much of a secret that the Hawks occasionally take the regular season a little more lightly than most teams. Oh, sure, there was the early season talk about how the Central Division was deeper than ever, and
how one great team was going to miss the playoffs. But the Winnipeg Jets haven’t been nearly as good as everybody anticipated, the better-than-expected Colorado Avalanche aren’t exactly terrifying anyone, and a playoff spot was never really in doubt for the talented and tested Hawks. And this season, it’s the Stars, Blues and Predators who are dealing with January lulls, all while the Hawks rattle off victory after victory. Two weeks ago, the Hawks were 13 points behind first-place Dallas and closer to the bottom of the division than the top. Seven wins later, they’re just four back, and comfortably in the playoff picture. At some point, the question will be whether the Hawks are peaking too early, and whether Panarin and Gustafsson and the like, who have never played more than 55 games in a regular season in Europe, will hit a wall. But they haven’t yet, and they’re keeping their grizzled, worn-down teammates on their toes. “There are guys in here that are trying to prove themselves, and some of these young guys have been very, very effective,” Patrick Kane said. “Sometimes [when] you have younger guys around here, it brings up the energy of everyone. They’ve been great for us.”

Owners set for more L.A. relocation talks By SCHUYLER DIXON The Associated Press NFL owners will try again to settle the issue of relocation to Los Angeles, this time knowing that commissioner Roger Goodell has declared the stadiums inadequate in Oakland, St. Louis and San Diego. Two days of meetings in Houston start Tuesday, six weeks after owners delayed a vote because they wanted more information on possible moves involving the Raiders, Rams and Chargers. Any move would involve one or two teams. All three cities have tried to make their cases with the NFL, and each team recently submitted a formal relocation bid. The latest development was Goodell’s report last week to all 32 teams that says the existing stadiums are “inadequate and unsatisfactory,” and that the proposals the Raiders, Rams and Chargers received to remain in their current cities lacked certainty. The report is required in the relocation process. Rams owner Stan Kroenke is planning a $1.8 billion stadium in Inglewood, California,
at the site of the old Hollywood Park racetrack. The Raiders and Chargers have a joint project in mind for nearby Carson. Kroenke also is willing to share his proposed stadium with either the Chargers or Raiders. A move requires approval from at least 24 owners. “It’s a long, tedious process,” New York Giants co-owner Steve Tisch said at the December meetings in the Dallas area. “There’s a lot of questions and there are not answers to every question yet. And there will be more questions when we meet in mid-January for sure.” The St. Louis proposal calls for an open-air, $1.1 billion stadium along the Mississippi River north of the Gateway Arch to replace the Edward Jones Dome. The plan includes $150 million from the city, $250 million from Kroenke, at least $200 million from the league, and $160 million in fan seat licenses. The rest of the money comes from the state, either through tax credits or bonds. Goodell has countered that NFL policy limits the league’s contribution to $100 million.
right now, so Fox’s choice of Loggains clearly isn’t out of desperation or resignation. Loggains does come with a ready-made relationship with Jay Cutler that we’re told works, and a little less than a year and a half of experience as an OC and play-caller in Tennessee, where he took over the job with five games left in the 2012 season after Chris Palmer was fired and stayed in the job through the 2013 season. Loggains also has two-plus years as the quarterbacks coach in Tennessee before taking over the OC job and was the quarterbacks coach in Cleveland in 2014. Honestly, his results have been mediocre. In 2010 the Titans were 25th in passing and 15th in yards per pass play with Kerry Collins, Vince Young and Rusty Smith. Tennessee improved to 12th in passing and 14th in average per pass in 2011 behind Matt Hasselbeck and Jake Locker, but then digressed to 22nd and 25th in 2012, which got Palmer fired with Locker, Hasselbeck and Smith at QB again. In Loggains’ one full season as the OC in Tennessee, the Ti-

tans were 21st in passing, 14th in average per pass, 22nd in total offense and 19th in points scored with Ryan Fitzpatrick and Locker playing QB. 2014 in Cleveland was more of the same, as Loggains coached Brian Hoyer, Johnny Manziel and Connor Smith and they were 20th in passing and 14th in average per pass play. In fairness, the talent Loggains has worked with until this year was mediocre. He is young, having turned 35 Oct. 1, but has studied under Sean Payton and Norm Chow in addition to Gase. The one opinion I can offer is that Fox must believe he has something worthwhile in Loggains, as he doesn’t have to take this risk, going with such a young and unproven choice. Had Fox brought in an experienced veteran and the offense taken a step back, the finger would have pointed at his failed assistant and not him. If this doesn’t work, Fox will absorb a lot more of the heat than Loggains, and for that reason I’m fine with the choice and admire Fox’s willingness to give it a go. • Chicago Football editor Hub Arkush can be reached at harkush@chicagofootball.com or on Twitter @Hub_Arkush.
TEMPE, Ariz. – The Arizona Cardinals will meet a familiar foe in the NFC divisional playoffs Saturday night. But they won’t expect a one-sided affair over the Green Bay Packers like the previous time they met. Green Bay won Sunday at Washington, 35-18, to earn a rematch with the Cardinals after losing, 38-8, Dec. 27 at Arizona. The Cardinals sacked Aaron Rodgers eight times, clinching a first-round playoff bye with the win. The Green Bay quarterback fumbled twice and both were returned for Arizona touchdowns. But the Packers’ recent offensive woes vanished and Rodgers looked like his old MVP self in the win over the Redskins. Green Bay outscored Washington, 35-7, after falling behind, 11-0. “It’s huge for us,” Rodgers said. “I talked a lot the last couple of weeks about turning it on, and a lot of you probably thought that was lip service. But we needed a game like this to get our mojo back and get our confidence going.” The Cardinals (13-3) were routed at home by Seattle, 36-6, in their regular-season finale, a performance the team and coach Bruce Arians wrote off as an aberration in a game that meant nothing in terms of playoff positioning.
“There aren’t too many times you have an opportunity to go back and have a redo. We’re looking forward to having a redo.” Mike McCarthy Green Bay Packers coach The Cardinals enter this week’s practices with a game plan for Green Bay virtually completed. Arians said last week the staff had a plan ready for any of the three potential opponents. The Cardinals devoted each of last week’s practice sessions to each of those possible foes – Green Bay on Tuesday, Minnesota on Wednesday and Washington on Thursday. The Arizona players had the next four days off and won’t resume practice until Tuesday. The Cardinals opened as seven-point favorites over the Packers (11-6). Arizona would have faced Minnesota had the Vikings made that last short field goal and beat Seattle in Sunday’s wildcard game. This is the Cardinals’ first playoff bye in their history, which doesn’t include many postseason appearances.
But Arizona did meet Green Bay in the playoffs once, and that 2010 matchup at University of Phoenix Stadium was a memorable one. The Cardinals won, 51-45, in overtime, the highest-scoring playoff game in NFL history. Kurt Warner had more touchdown passes (five) than incompletions (four), completing 29 of 33 for 379 yards with no interceptions. Rodgers, in his first playoff game, was almost as good, completing 28 of 42 for 422 yards and four scores with one interception. The game didn’t have much defense, but the winning score was a defensive play. Defensive back Michael Adams sacked Rodgers and jarred the ball loose. Karlos Dansby grabbed it in mid-air and ran 17 yards for the winning score. That game seems like ancient history for Rodgers, who has had so much postseason success since then. But he and his teammates probably most remember that drubbing three weeks ago, and they are intent on a better rematch. “There aren’t too many times you have an opportunity to go back and have a redo,” Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. “We’re looking forward to having a redo.”
COLLEGE FOOTBALL: CLEMSON
Tide’s big plays doom Clemson By BOB BAUM The Associated Press GLENDALE, Ariz. – Clemson’s dream of a perfect season was buried in an avalanche of big plays by Alabama. A brilliant performance by superb sophomore quarterback Deshaun Watson wasn’t quite enough to save the Tigers in a 45-40 loss to the Crimson Tide on Monday night. Alabama (14-1) won its fourth national championship in seven years and Clemson failed in its bid to become the first team to finish a season 15-0. But what a thriller it was in the desert. Watson completed 30 of 47 passes for 405 yards and four touchdowns and ran
for another 73 in a game that wasn’t decided until Alabama outscored Clemson 24-16 in a frantic final quarter. In the end, the Tigers (141) just couldn’t keep up with the huge chunks of yards Alabama gained throughout the evening, especially in the final quarter. Clemson, a 6½-point underdog at kickoff, had a big offensive game against the vaunted Alabama defense, outgaining the Crimson Tide 550 yards to 474, but the Tide overwhelmed the Tigers with one big play after another, whether it be an onside kick or a long kickoff return. Derrick Henry ran 50 yards for an early touchdown, Kenyan Drake returned a fourth-quarter kickoff 95 yards for a score and Jake
Coker connected with big tight end O.J. Howard, the offensive player of the game, on scoring plays of 53 and 51 yards. Coker’s 63-yard pass to Howard set up the 1-yard touchdown run by Henry that finally sealed the victory with 1:07 to play. Howard caught five passes for 208 yards. The Clemson defense was hurt by the loss of cornerback Mackensie Alexander, who limped off the field early after being questionable for the game with a hamstring injury suffered in the Tigers’ victory over Oklahoma on New Year’s Eve. Still, the Tigers led, 24-21, after Wayne Gallman’s 1-yard run with 4:48 left in the third quarter capped a nine-play, 60-yard drive.
Alabama tied it with Adam Griffith’s 33-yard field goal with 10:34 to play, then caught the Tigers by surprise with an onside kick. Marlon Humphrey caught the ball in midair at the 50 and, two plays later, Coker found Howard on a 51-yard touchdown play and Alabama led for good, 31-24, with 9:45 to play. Greg Huegel’s field goal cut it to 31-27, but Drake took the kickoff back the distance and Alabama led 38-27. Clemson didn’t fold. Watson’s 11-yard TD pass to Artavis Scott cut the Tide lead to 38-33 with 4:40 to play. But Coker’s 63-yarder to Howard set up the touchdown that finally put it out of reach. Clemson scored again with 12 seconds left to make it a five-point difference.
’Bama 2nd team since ’36 to win 4 titles in 7 years • CHAMPIONSHIP Continued from page C1 Watson threw his third touchdown pass to make it 38-33 with 4:40 left, and then Alabama went back to its workhorse Heisman Trophy winner. Derrick Henry plunged into the end zone for his third touchdown of the game to make it 45-33 with 1:07 left. Watson threw another touchdown pass, but would not get another chance. Clemson’s
onside kick went out of bounds. Coker took a knee and after a two-year drought that felt like eternity in Tuscaloosa, Alabama was back on top. The Crimson Tide became the second team in college football’s poll era, dating to 1936, to win four titles in seven seasons. Alabama joins Notre Dame, which won four titles from 1943 to ’49. For Saban, it is his fifth national championship – four in his nine seasons at Alabama – leaving him only one short of former Tide coach Bear Bryant
for the most titles in history. Watson gave the Tide all they could handle, throwing for 405 yards and four touchdowns, and conjuring up memories of Vince Young’s miraculous performance for Texas in the 2006 Rose Bowl that derailed Southern California’s dynasty. The sophomore, who finished third in the Heisman Trophy voting, had 478 total yards against a loaded Tide defense that was the toughest in the country and bested Young’s 467 yards against the Trojans. But
Watson couldn’t finish the job the way Young did in Pasadena, California. Instead, Saban and the Tide raised another trophy, their first in this new playoff system, and got another confetti shower. It is the Tide’s 10th national title in the poll era, more than any other school. The Tide hit Clemson early with Henry, who scored the game’s first touchdown on a 50AP photo yard burst through the middle. He finished with 158 yards on Clemson’s Jordan Leggett catches a touchdown pass in front of Alabama’s Ronnie Harrison during the second half Monday in Glendale, Ariz. 36 carries.

FIVE-DAY PLANNER
Allenby hopes he can put ‘nightmare’ behind him By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press KAPALUA, Hawaii – Robert Allenby returned to paradise with hopes of putting a nightmare behind him. Allenby has missed the Sony Open only three times in his 17 years on the PGA Tour, and this would have been an acceptable occasion to miss. He went from victim of what he first described as a robbery and kidnapping to the butt of jokes over a bizarre night in Honolulu that left him with a bloodied forehead and no memory of what happened. So why bother going back? “I’ve got so many great memories here that I wasn’t going to let one bad one interrupt it,” he said Sunday night after checking into the Kahala Hotel at Waialae Country Club. “I also thought for my own well-being that maybe I could come here and face it and put some closure on what happened last year.” He had dinner at the hotel with friends and already has his dining plans laid out for the week. “Room service and (hotel) restaurant,” he said. The 44-year-old Australian last year missed the cut in the first fullfield event of the year, and then went to Amuse Wine Bar with his caddie and a friend. He recalls golf fans recognizing him and wanting a photo. He said police surveillance shows him leaving the restaurant. And that was it. Whatever happened that night – Allenby said he still didn’t remember anything during a 2½-hour window – it might have gone unnoticed except that Allenby posted a photo on his private Facebook page of a bloody scrape on his head and a swollen eye. Then came the tale of being tossed from the trunk of a car. Allenby said he was told that by a homeless woman who helped him escape from the park after his story was questioned. A homeless man said he saw Allenby pass out

Golf Channel cited unidentified sources at a strip club that Allenby ran up a $3,400 tab at Club Femme Nu. However, Honolulu Police Det. John McCarthy said the report was not true and the police investigation showed Allenby was never in the strip club. Allenby believes someone slipped a date-rape drug into his drink at the restaurant when he was taking photos, which he said explains the memory loss. A month after the incident, police arrested a Hawaii man for using Allenby’s credit cards. Owen Harbison was sentenced in August to five years. Through it all, his reputation didn’t help. He is renowned for a fierce temper on the golf course. Allenby once claimed Anthony Kim was out all night before the final day of the Presidents Cup – after Kim had beaten him badly in singles.
He mixed it up with Geoff Ogilvy over who was to blame for a team loss in the Presidents Cup at Royal Melbourne two years later. And he has gone through more than a dozen caddies. Allenby, however, said he felt as though he went from the victim to the culprit and that it marred the rest of his year. With 21 victories worldwide – four on the PGA Tour – he made only seven cuts in 29 events and didn’t finish in the top 50 on the PGA Tour. He said he has had nightmares of being chased down a street and that he has sought help from a psychologist. “I needed it to help overcome the stuff I’ve been dealing with,” he said. He is using his one-time exemption from the PGA Tour career money list to play this year, so he could have just as easily started next week in the California desert. Until last week, he thought about skipping the Sony Open. “I’ve always enjoyed coming here, and part of me just wanted to face it on the chin,” he said. “I didn’t want people to think that I wouldn’t come back. Not that I care what people think, but I wanted to come back and play well and move forward.” Allenby remarried in October in Napa, California, the weekend before the Frys.com Open. His wife had work and did not join him on the Honolulu trip. He has three top-10s in 14 appearances, including a runner-up finish in 2010 when Ryan Palmer beat him with a birdie on the last hole. He has missed the cut four of the last five years, but still considers Waialae a course he plays well. “I thought long and hard about not coming,” he said. “But I said to (wife) Kym, ‘I need to go. I want to go.’ I love the golf course. The people are always so friendly to me. I know there will be media and all that, but I’m ready to move on with it. I’m not going to let it bother me. The reason I came here was to play and play well.”

Father ignoring gum disease Follow healthy heart advice needs a good chewing-out to avoid an aortic aneurysm Dear Abby: My husband has developed a bad case of periodontal disease. I’m afraid to kiss him because I don’t want the bacteria causing the disease to spread, and his bad breath is unbearable. Our sex life is suffering because of it. We have two beautiful children together, and I love him very much – even if he loses all his teeth at the age of 37. I have explained how extremely important oral hygiene is to overall health, especially heart health, and how his unwillingness to deal with this sends the wrong message to our kids. He simply refuses or conveniently “forgets.” When I asked him why, he said his mother traumatized him about it as a child. My children are starting to take notice now. My daughter doesn’t want to go near him, and my son thinks it’s OK to not brush his teeth because his father doesn’t. As you can see, this is disrupting our family. What kind of advice could I give him to get him to start taking care of his mouth? – Wit’s End In Florida Dear Wit’s End: That your
son is modeling his behavior after his father is terrible. There are psychologists
DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips who help patients overcome phobias and dentists who specialize in patients with your husband’s problem. If necessary, dental work can be done under complete sedation. If your husband would be willing to listen to your family doctor or the children’s pediatrician, perhaps one of them can get through to him the importance of conquering his fear before it causes lasting damage to the next generation. Dear Abby: I recently began a relationship with a wonderful man I’ll call “Edward.” He’s smart, successful, sweet and has a wonderful sense of humor. I adore him and can see myself spending many happy years, if not forever, with him. The problem is my parents. I’m 24 and a recent college graduate. I have a good job and have been living independently since I was 19. Edward is 31, divorced and has two children (ages 5 and 8). Because of his children and marital status, my
parents refuse to even meet him. They claim I’m making a terrible mistake being involved with someone with so much “baggage.” I am very close to my parents, and their reaction is hurtful. This is the happiest I have been in a long time in a relationship, maybe ever. Neither Edward’s children nor the fact he’s divorced is an issue for me. I’ve met his children and enjoy spending time with them. He has a civil relationship with his ex-wife, who also has a new partner. Do you think my parents’ reaction is fair? Do you think in time they’ll come around? – Bittersweet In
Love In Michigan Dear Bittersweet: Whether
your parents’ reaction is fair or not is beside the point. Their feelings are their feelings. The relationship you have with Edward is new, and where it might lead is anybody’s guess. If it lasts, your parents might come around. But as an adult, the choice of whom you date or will one day marry should be yours and no one else’s. • Write Dear Abby at www.dearabby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
Dear Dr. K: I had pain in my abdomen, so my doctor did an ultrasound to check for gallstones. It turns out I have an abdominal aortic aneurysm. What is that? Dear Reader: The aorta is the body’s largest artery. It carries oxygen-rich blood from the heart to every part of the body. The aorta curves out of the heart and through the chest, then passes down the center of the body before dividing into the arteries that serve the legs. An aneurysm is an abnormal swelling and weakening in an artery. An aneurysm that occurs in the aorta as it passes through the middle of the body is called an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Like other blood vessels, the aorta can develop atherosclerosis. Harmful cholesterol-filled plaques form, damaging and weakening the artery wall. The constant pressure of blood flowing through the aorta – which is worse in people with high blood pressure – can cause the artery’s wall to bulge where there is a weak spot. (I’ve put an illustration on my website, www. askdoctork.com.) The majority of AAAs grow very slowly and don’t
ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff cause any symptoms. Most AAAs are found by chance during an imaging test performed for another reason, as yours was. Rarely, AAAs cause symptoms such as a deep pain or a throbbing sensation in the back or the side of the abdomen. An imaging test – an ultrasound, CT or MRI scan – then is ordered, which reveals the AAA. Because AAAs are quite unusual except in high-risk groups, routine imaging studies are not recommended. However, in high-risk groups, screening with ultrasound is recommended. People at high risk for an AAA are men ages 65 to 75 who have ever smoked, or who have a first-degree (parent or sibling) relative who has had an AAA repair (or died from a ruptured AAA). Smaller AAAs are monitored with regular ultrasound tests. The larger the AAA is, and the faster it grows, the greater the risk it will rupture. When an AAA ruptures, it causes massive bleeding inside the abdomen. The odds of survival are pretty low. So
when an AAA reaches a size that is likely to rupture, it should be repaired. Until recent years, repair of an AAA involved major surgery. Surgeons opened the abdomen, cut out the diseased section of the aorta and replaced it with a synthetic tube (typically made of polyester). Today, most AAAs are treated with a minimally invasive procedure known as endovascular repair. The surgeon passes a catheter through a small incision in the leg and threads it into the aorta to reach the AAA. A fabric-coated stent is then put in place to reinforce the bulging aorta, which seals around it. To avoid an AAA, the same advice for preventing heart disease applies: • Don’t smoke; • Eat a healthy diet; • Exercise regularly; • Keep your blood pressure and cholesterol in a healthy range. These habits also are vital if you already have an AAA, because you’ll want to be as healthy as possible if you end up needing surgery. • Write to Dr. Komaroff at www.askdoctork.com or Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.
Girl fails to appreciate grandma’s garage sale bargain gifts Dr. Wallace: I’m a 15-yearold girl, and I have an odd problem with my grandmother. She lives in another state, and she loves to go to garage sales. She even finds some new clothing items once in a while that still have the price tags on them. However, most of them are used, and some of them are not my style. She knows my size, and she often buys clothes for me and mails them to me. I’ve written to her a couple of times and asked her to stop sending me used clothing, but she continues to waste her time and money by mailing me this stuff. How can I convince her to stop? I've even had my
’TWEEN 12 & 20 Dr. Robert Wallace mom mention this to her when she makes her weekly call to my grandmother. But the clothes keep coming. –
Nameless, Des Moines, Iowa Nameless: It’s obvious
your grandmother enjoys shopping at garage sales (so do I) and she likes sending you some of her finds. Try not to be upset by her generosity. Simply thank Grandmother for her “treasures” when they arrive. Then look them over. There
just might be something you would enjoy wearing. Donate everything else to the Salvation Army or some other worthy charity so they can be put to good use. Dr. Wallace: I’m 19 and dated the same girl, age 18, for the past two years. About six months ago, she broke off our relationship, and now she is dating a guy who is deeply involved with drugs. This really makes me feel terrible because she deserves so much more. I love this girl very much, and it tears me apart to think she is dating such a lowlife. This girl is very close to my sister and my family, but nothing seems
to convince her to get rid of this guy. She tells others she really wants me, but she continues to stay with him. Whenever she has a bad day or has a major problem with her new boyfriend, she calls me for comfort and advice, yet she tells me to be happy and to go on with my life. She knows my family and I love her very much, and she knows we will offer comfort and support. What should I do? This has been dragging on much too long. – Nameless, Rock
Island Nameless: You have been spending most of your time showing great concern for your ex-girlfriend instead
of taking her advice to be happy and to get on with your life. You should do just that. Don’t allow her to contact you when she has a problem. Your sister can offer all the comfort and advice necessary. Start dating other girls and get active socially – immediately. If the time comes when she dumps this druggie friend of hers, you will be the first person to know. Then you can decide if you want to start seeing her again – if you are not too involved with “Alexi” or “Karen” or ... Dr. Wallace: Please settle an argument for me. My boyfriend and I disagree on
whether it is permissible to stand someone up when a definite date has been arranged. I say it’s never OK for someone simply to not show up. He thinks there are legitimate times, besides death or unforeseeable catastrophe, when not showing up is OK. What do you say? –
Rosa, Big Spring, Texas Rosa: I agree with you.
Basic promises – and a date is a promise – are the building blocks of a relationship. A person who blows off dates simply can’t be trusted. As far as I’m concerned, such behavior is unforgivable.

FIRE DAMAGES CHEF SYMON’S RESTAURANT
THINGS
WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT
Tuesday, January 12, 2016 • Section C • Page 8
CLEVELAND – Celebrity chef and cookbook author Michael Symon said a fire over the weekend has significantly damaged one of his first restaurants in his hometown of Cleveland. The host of ABC’s “The Chew� said he’s glad no one was hurt in Sunday’s fire. Investigators think it started near an oven and don’t suspect it was arson. Cleveland’s fire department said the fire at Lolita started on the first floor and destroyed offices upstairs. Symon opened his first solo restaurant in the building in 1997 and later converted the space into Lolita. Symon is the host of several shows on the Food Network and the Cooking Channel.

BUZZWORTHY
Prosecutors won’t charge Lamar Odom after Nevada brothel weekend
New management maps a radically changed TBS, TNT PASADENA, Calif. – To make room for the set of “Animal Kingdom,� a new TNT drama coming this summer, producers had to destroy the family home from “The Waltons� on a Hollywood soundstage. It makes for an irresistible metaphor: New boss Kevin Reilly has begun the process of transforming the Turner Networks of TBS and TNT from a home for TV comfort food into what he hopes is a destination for buzzy, edgy fare that can compete on the same turf as the AMC, Netflix and HBOs of the world. Reilly calls it a necessary move that reflects the need to attract attention in a crowded world of programming and the ways a new generation watches TV. “Frankly, we intend to rewrite the rules now to lead the transition to the next era to define what a TV network is in years to come,� Reilly said. TNT and TBS are hardly failures despite recent slippage; they’re consistently among the top-rated cable networks. But their fare is symbolized by the TNT police procedural “Rizzoli & Isles,� that Reilly just canceled, the most popular series on cable TV that no one talked about. Such comfort food was fine in an era of passive TV viewing, when there were relatively few choices. People actively choose what shows to watch now, and they need some flash and critical attention. “Animal Kingdom,� which stars Ellen Barkin as the matriarch of a crime family, has a much darker feel than “Rizzoli & Isles.� TNT also has two thrillers, “Good Behavior� and “Alienist,� in the works, and it has invited filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan in to curate a “Tales From the Crypt� remake that will lead a new block of horror programming.

American action hero Steven Seagal gets Serbian citizenship
BELGRADE, Serbia – Serbia has granted citizenship to American action hero Steven Seagal. The decision, announced in the official state gazette, came after the veteran actor and producer made two recent visits to Serbia, praising its populist leadership and saying he feels like a Serb. During one visit, Seagal was offered to train Serbian special police forces in Aikido, a Japanese martial art that he has displayed in his blockbuster movies. His visits were sponsored by a pro-Russian Serb group.

LAS VEGAS – Lamar Odom won’t be charged with any drug counts after the former NBA star was found unconscious last year at a Nevada brothel with cocaine in his system, prosecutors said Monday. Evidence in the case did not prove that Odom used the drug during his three days in Nye County, so he could not be charged with unlawful use of cocaine or being under the influence of a controlled substance – the felony count recommended by the sheriff’s office, District Attorney Angela Bello said. Odom wasn’t in possession of any cocaine and the cocaine discovered in his system had already metabolized – making it difficult to determine the time he had used it – when he was hospitalized on Oct. 13 in extremely critical condition in Las Vegas, Bello said. It’s “unlikely it could [be] established beyond a reasonable doubt he actually ingested, or was impaired by, the drug during the time he was within the jurisdiction of Nye County,� she said in a statement. Investigators have not directly contacted Odom but worked with his attorney, Blair Berk, a prominent celebrity lawyer in California who declined to comment on the decision by prosecutors. Bello said no other recommended charges have been sent to her office involving the situation.
The first leg of the RipCORD World Tour will start June 2 in Kansas City, Missouri, and run through Nov. 19 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, Urban announced Monday. “I am anxious to get it done,� he said in a phone interview with The Associated Press on his way into the studio to work on the album. “ ’Cause I hate the buildup of anything. If I could, I wouldn’t talk about any of it. I would just put it out.� Urban has been teasing fans with little snippets of information for months. He’s already put out two singles from the record, the Grammy-nominated “John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16,� and his second single, “Break on Me.� “I’d much rather have the record out six months before I tour,� he said. “I certainly don’t want to wait to tour because the record is not done already. I still think the record is going to be out before the tour, probably.� For “RipCORD,� he’s been working with a new crop of producers and musicians, including guitarist and producer Nile Rodgers, who won three Grammys for his work with Daft Punk on its hit album, “Random Access Memories.�
