Group’s plan aims to help homeless
County continuum of care, Heartland Alliance partner to increase effort By HANNAH PROKOP hprokop@shawmedia.com Amy Terpstra said the McHenry County Continuum of Care to End Homelessness’s vision for its new strategic plan could be summarized in one statement: “To make McHenry County a place where homelessness is rare, homelessness is brief and homelessness is nonrecurring.” Terpstra, director of research with Heartland Alliance, the social service agency based in Chicago that made the report, has been working for the past year on a strategic If you go plan to end homelessness in McHenry WHAT: McHenry County.

Mach said he hopes the plan will help the continuum prioritize what the needs are in the community and provide steps to address those needs. Part of what the continuum does is approve applications for funding requests in the county to assist in the coordination and development of services and housing for homeless and low-income persons with housing needs. “If you’re giving funds to an organization, you want to make sure it’s being put to the best possible use,” Mach said. “Now that we have a plan, we’ll be able to organize it more effectively.” Funding for the creation of the plan came from the McHenry County Mental Health Board and McHenry County Department of Planning and Development Community Development Division, Mach said. He said the total cost was about $27,000. Terpstra said Heartland Alliance created a three-year plan that is action-oriented. She said McHenry County has great

spanned the 1980s and ’90s. “We would prefer to see higher percentages of other modes – either carpooling or mass transit – because there are broad benefits to that,” said Liz Schuh, principal policy analyst at CMAP. “But I think we’re encouraged that it has leveled off.” While driving alone was clearly the dominant form of transportation – at least 75 per-
cent of drivers in each suburban area get to work that way – analysts also are seeing some shift in the mix of other commuting methods. Regionally, there has been a steady decline in carpooling. It remained the second most-popular commuting mode in McHenry County, with nearly 8 percent of respondents using it. The third most-popular category in the county was telecommuters, a group that has grown regionally over time. McHenry County ranked second among the studied counties with 5.5 percent of respondents working from home. Less than 3 percent of county respondents used any form of public transportation, with commuter rail accounting for about 2.3 percent. That number is in line with the 2.5 percent of residents who work in the city of Chicago,

Protesters in Oregon object to prison sentence for ranchers By REBECCA BOONE The Associated Press BURNS, Ore. – The remote high desert of eastern Oregon became the latest flashpoint for anti-government sentiment as armed protesters occupied a national wildlife refuge to object to a prison sentence for local ranchers for burning federal land. Ammon Bundy – the son of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, who was involved in a 2014 standoff with the government over grazing rights – is among the people at the headquarters Les Zaitz/The Oregonian via AP of the Malheur National WildProtesters march Saturday on Court Avenue in Burns, Ore., in support life Refuge. It was unclear exactly how of an Oregon ranching family facing jail time for arson.
many people were taking part in the protests. Ammon Bundy posted a video on his Facebook page asking for militia members to come help him. He said “this is not a time to stand down. It’s a time to stand up and come to Harney County,” where Burns is located. Bundy and other militia members came to Burns last month, a small town about 280 miles southeast of Portland, Oregon. They were upset over the looming prison sentences for local ranchers Dwight and Steven Hammond. They went to the wildlife refuge Saturday evening after a peaceful rally
in Burns to support the ranchers. Dwight Hammond, 73, and Steven Hammond, 46, said they lit the fires on federal land in 2001 and 2006 to reduce the growth of invasive plants and protect their property from wildfires. The two were convicted of the arsons three years ago and served time – the father three months, the son one year. But a federal judge ruled in October that their terms were too short under U.S. minimum sentencing law and ordered them back to prison for about four years each. The decision generated controversy and is part of a

decades-long dispute between some Westerners and the federal government over the use of public lands. The issue traces back to the 1970s and the “Sagebrush Rebellion,” a move by Western states such as Nevada to increase local control over federal land. Critics of the push for more local control have said the federal government should administer the public lands for the widest possible uses, including environmental and recreation. In an interview with The Associated Press at the wildlife refuge Sunday, Ryan Bundy, Ammon Bundy’s brother, said

Pregame gives way to sprint into Iowa By THOMAS BEAUMONT The Associated Press DES MOINES, Iowa – It’s been a year of town halls and weekend forums and lunchtime meet-and-greets for those who would be president, with nights spent sparring in televised debates and endless days fundraising to pay for TV ads, direct-mail fliers and organizers to get out the vote. All of it is aimed at people like Jocelyn Beyer, a Republican from the small town of Sully in rural central Iowa, who said despite the many months of political clamor, she’s only just now starting to think about her vote for the White House. “I can’t say I’ve paid much attention,” Beyer said. “The moral issues are what I focus on. If I had to vote today, I’d vote for Ted Cruz.” While that’s not a solid “yes” for the Texas senator, at least he’s doing better with Beyer than he is with Brian Metcalf, a Republican from nearby Pella. Metcalf is thinking about Cruz, but also former Florida Gov.
LOTTERY
Jeb Bush and Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla. That is, when he’s spending any time thinking about the race. “Until now, it’s just been noise,” he said. “But I’d like to see someone with a Reagan-esque approach.” Bernie For all the Sanders attention showered on early state voters in the past year by candidates, their unpaid volunteers and high-dollar ad- Hillary makers – and, Clinton yes, journalists, too – the truth is that what happened in 2015 was only the pregame show. The race for the White House starts in earnest this week as voters such as Beyer and Metcalf begin to tune in and the candidates try to win them over during a four-week sprint to the
leadoff Iowa caucuses Feb. 1. It’s then that voters have their first say and push pundits, predictions and polls aside. “The race is still fluid,” said Beth Myers, who managed 2012 GOP nominee Mitt Romney’s campaign and supports Bush in 2016. “There’s still a twist or two in this primary story that we don’t know yet.” Where to begin? It’s easier to start with the Democrats. Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont hopes an upset in Iowa and a victory in the New Hampshire primary a week later will dent the apparent inevitability of front-runner Hillary Clinton. Wins in the first two states for the former first lady, New York senator and secretary of state would all but cement her place atop her party’s ticket. There is no such clarity in the Republican race. Despite shedding five candidates before New Year’s Day, the GOP contest is an unpredictable mix of a dozen hopefuls with vastly different visions for
the party and the country. Ahead now in Iowa is Cruz, who spent 2015 quietly building a traditional campaign organization and will kick off his month with a bus tour – six days, 28 cities – covering the state’s most fertile ground for Republicans. Candidates Ted Cruz often try to recruit a political leader to stand for them in each of Iowa’s 99 counties. Cruz has also sought a pastor in each to Jeb Bush do the same, hoping to corner the market on the evangelical voters who make up a significant part of the GOP caucuses. “For Cruz, it’s about the complete consolidation of the evangelical wing to snuff the life from the others,” said Phil Musser, a Republican consultant who is not affiliated with a campaign.
While Cruz has edged ahead in preference polls of Iowa voters in recent weeks, nationally, he still trails the unquestioned political star of 2015: Donald Trump. The billionaire real-estate mogul has so far forgone the grind-it-out approach in favor Marco Rubio of free media exposure and a few rallies a week in front of largely adoring crowds. “He says what everybody’s thinking, and he’s not afraid Donald to say it,” said Trump Trump supporter Bill Kullander of Des Moines. The unknown for Trump: Are Kullander and the thousands of others who pack the bleachers at Trump’s rallies and tell pollsters he’s their top choice for the GOP nomination likely voters? Or are they merely fans entertained by his show?

Obama looking at ways to reduce gun violence By KEVIN FREKING The Associated Press WASHINGTON – With his Hawaiian vacation over, President Barack Obama said he is energized for his final year in office and ready to tackle unfinished business, turning immediate attention to the issue of gun violence.

Congressional Republicans have outlined a competing agenda for January, saying they will spend the first days of 2016 taking another crack at eliminating keys parts of the president’s health insurance law and ending federal funding for Planned Parenthood. The legislation is unlikely to become law, but it is popular with the GOP base in an election year.

Annual breakfast event approaches FaithBridge Interfaith Association set to host Martin Luther King Jr. program, buffet By KATIE DAHLSTROM kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – FaithBridge Interfaith Association, a consortium of local religious organizations, will host its seventh annual Martin Luther King Jr. Interfaith Prayer Breakfast on Jan. 18 in Crystal Lake. Parliament of World Religions Executive Director and
American Baptist Churches Executive Minister the Rev. Larry Greenfield will deliver a speech at the event with the theme “Staying Awake,” which was inspired by King’s sermon “Remaining Awake Through A Great Revolution.” Board member Budd Friend-Jones said leaders chose the theme in order to encourage people to be engaged and aware during a crisis. As
with all years, the event, held on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, is meant to bring people together to talk about King’s vision for a peaceful world. “The goal is to foster good fellowship among people of different faith traditions,” FriendJones said. “So often we live in the same community, we hold the same profession, we go to the same grocery stores, but we don’t know each other.”
Children and musicians from various backgrounds will contribute to the program. The student who wrote the winning essay on the topic “Awake: how do you wish to see the world in 20 years? Remember you are an active participant in these changes” will read their essay during the breakfast. Running from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m. at D’Andrea Banquet and

• COMMUTE
Continued from page A1 according to 2013 census data. CMAP transportation planner Elizabeth Irvin, one of the primary authors of the policy update, said the low numbers were about what researchers expected because most people who live in the suburbs also work there. Data from 2011 included in the McHenry County 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan showed that about a third of residents stay in the county to work. The plan, written by the Division of Transportation, listed promoting mobility for all residents and providing transportation choices as two of its main long-term goals. Irvin said CMAP works in formal and informal ways with suburban transportation officials to discuss how public transit options can be improved and promoted. A Metra commuter train arrives Ken Koehler, who rep- Wednesday. resents the county on the Metra Board, said there are “There’s a variety of potential future projects that factors that are would make the service more efficient for McHenry County impacting mode share riders.

at the Pingree Road train station tax break transit users could receive to $255. “That should cause a lot of people to have a lot more interest in taking the train,” Koehler said. “It does help offset the cost of the train significantly.” While planners will continue to promote eco-friendly transit methods across the region, Irvin said she was encouraged by the slow changes happening over time. “There’s a variety of factors that are impacting mode share and the choices people make about where they’re going to live and where they work and how they’re going to get between the two,” Irvin said. “Those things aren’t going to change overnight.”
service providers in the community who know what they’re doing, and the plan can help get more players in the community involved. “I think the plan is all about getting them to work together, really being pointed in the same direction, working toward the same common goals,” Terpstra said. She said the plan addresses three areas. The first is making sure the county has enough affordable housing. The plan recommends exploring the idea of having a year-round fixed-site shelter in the county. The next section suggests
addressing factors that help create homelessness in the first place, such as not having enough high-paying jobs, she said. Internal structure and governance of the continuum of care is another area the plan suggests is looked at. Terpstra said the plan suggests putting more formal structure and policy in place for the continuum. Mach said the continuum will review the final plan at its regular meeting at 9 a.m. Jan. 14 at the Mental Health Board, 620 Dakota St., Crystal Lake. “If people want to work to end homelessness, or they want to know what’s going on, they’re welcome to attend,” Mach said.

LOS ANGELES – “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” marched confidently into the new year, raking in an additional $88.3 million over the New Year’s weekend and topping the box office for a third week, according to studio estimates Sunday. In addition to setting a new high mark in New Year’s box office history, the record-busting film blew past the domestic grosses of both “Jurassic World” ($652.3 million) and “Titanic” ($658.7 million) to become the second-highest earner of all time with $740.3 million in just 19 days of release. The top domestic film is “Avatar” with a $760.5 million lifetime domestic gross, but “Star Wars” is barreling in to surpass it soon. For context, it took “Avatar” 72 days to reach $700 million. “Star Wars” did that in 16 days. Internationally, “Star Wars” earned $96.3 million this weekend, boosting its global total to $184.6 million. The film opens in China on Saturday. – Wire reports

into this discussion, but the mayor’s focus is not on his own personal politics,” Emanuel spokesman Adam Collins said in a statement. “His focus is on taking the action necessary to finally and fully address an issue that has challenged Chicago for decades, and reform the system and culture of policing in Chicago.” Under Ford’s Rahm proposal, two Emanuel city aldermen would have to sign an affidavit agreeing with a recall petition and organizers must collect more than 88,000 signatures from registered voters in the city. At least 50 signatures must come from each of 50 Wards. The proposal would preempt local law, so it needs ap-

Residents on Sunday pile ruined furniture, appliances and clothes along the street for disposal crews to pick up after last week’s flooding from the south fork of the Sangamon River in Kincaid. Gov. Bruce Rauner toured flood-damaged homes Sunday.
Ill., Missouri assess damage, after flooding By JIM SALTER and JIM SUHR The Associated Press KINCAID – The Mississippi River and many of its tributaries continued their retreat Sunday from historic and deadly winter flooding, leaving amid the silt a massive cleanup and recovery effort likely to take weeks if not months. The flood, fueled by more than 10 inches of rain over a three-day period that began Christmas Day, is blamed for 25 deaths in Illinois and Missouri, reflecting Sunday’s discovery of the body of a second teenager who drowned in central Illinois’ Christian County. The Mississippi River was receding except in the far southern tip of both states. The Meramec River, the St. Louis-area tributary of the Mississippi that caused so much damage last week, already was below flood stage in the hard-hit Missouri towns of Pacific and Eureka and dropping elsewhere. But worries surfaced anew Sunday along the still-rising Illinois River north of St. Louis, where crests near the west-central Illinois towns of Valley City, Meredosia, Beardstown and Havana were to approach records before receding in coming days. In Kincaid, a 1,400-resident central Illinois town near the Sangamon River’s south fork, Gov. Bruce Rauner toured flood-damaged homes Sunday as Sharon Stivers and other residents piled ruined furniture, appliances and clothes along the street for disposal crews to pick up. Mike Crews, Christian County’s emergency manager, said the worst of the inundation appeared to be past, “until the new weather comes,” citing the prospect of potentially heavy rain later in the week. Stivers shares a home with her 45-year-old daughter battling breast cancer, along with a granddaughter and four dogs. Floodwaters got 4 feet into their home, located in an area where flood insur-
ance wasn’t available. “Am I mad?” she asked. “I lost my home. My daughter has cancer and lost her home. Am I mad? When I’m not crying I am.” Across the street, Theresa Gibson was getting help from relatives and friends clearing out what they could salvage after the flood reached 18 inches into her home, buckling newly finished oak floors and saturating walls. “This is just horrible,” Gibson, 50, lamented, noting how the fast-rising waters had allowed her only enough time to fill a couple of suitcases. “We’ve had floods before, but nothing like this.” In Illinois’ Morgan County, home to the 1,000-resident village of Meredosia, locals were keeping wary eyes on levees fortified with 50,000 sandbags. As of midday Sunday at Meredosia, the Illinois was more than 10 feet above flood stage and pressing toward an expected crest Tuesday roughly a half-foot short of the record set in July. While optimistic those levees would hold, Jacksonville-Morgan County Emergency Management Director Phil McCarty said the prospect of flooding during the chill of winter carried dangerous health risks, including hypothermia. President Barack Obama signed a federal emergency declaration Saturday for Missouri, allowing federal aid to be used to help state and local response efforts. It also allows the Federal Emergency Management Agency to coordinate disaster relief efforts. Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon had asked for the help. In Illinois’ St. Clair County just east of St. Louis, emergency management director Herb Simmons said damage assessment began Sunday after the Mississippi started to fall. Although water reached higher than 1993, this flood wasn’t as bad, Simmons said. “In ’93 that water came up and stayed on the levees for several months,” Simmons said. “This flood came up quick and went down quick.”
CHICAGO – Many pediatricians and family doctors are not strongly recommending the cancer-preventing HPV vaccine to preteens and their parents, contributing to low vaccination rates, a survey of nearly 600 doctors suggests. The vaccine protects against the human papillomavirus, which is spread through sex and can cause several kinds of cancer, including cervical cancer. The government wants girls and boys to get it at age 11 or 12 because it works best if kids get it before they become sexually active. While nearly all doctors surveyed discuss the vaccine
with at least some patients that young, more than one-third don’t strongly recommend it for those ages. They were most likely to recommend vaccination and to give the shots to older children and girls. The most common reasons doctors cited for delaying HPV discussions and vaccinations included a belief that patients hadn’t had sex and that parents would object. Noting that about one-third of all youth have had sex by age 16, the researchers said some doctors need a clearer understanding of reasons to vaccinate preteens. The authors, led by University of Colorado researcher Dr. Allison Kempe, surveyed 582 pediatricians and family physicians by mail or online about
two years ago. The doctors were in a nationwide network that participates in similar surveys and whose views on other topics have been found to be similar to random samples of U.S. physicians, the researchers said. Their study was published online Monday in Pediatrics. The HPV vaccine has been available for girls since 2006 and for boys since 2011. A national survey last year found that 60 percent of adolescent girls and only 42 percent of boys had gotten at least one dose. Three doses are recommended. Infections caused by the virus can cause certain genital cancers including cervix and penis cancer, and cancers in the mouth and throat.

Workers set to return to site of Calif. attacks By JUSTIN PRITCHARD The Associated Press SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. – In the offices of the Inland Regional Center, Christmas did not come. Tinsel still festoons cubicles. A small tree with presents sits undisturbed. A sign-up sheet to bring in food remains empty of names. The staff was still gearing up for the holidays Dec. 2, the day 14 people were massacred on the center’s gleaming campus. Few of its 600 employees have gone to the office since, other than a brief visit to gather personal belongings a week after the terror attack. On Monday, they return. While many have continued to work, visiting the homes of autistic children and mentally disabled adults, they haven’t been together in the place where everything froze once law enforcement officers whisked them away. Amid the investigation and cleanup, the campus has been locked behind a chain link fence wrapped in green mesh. Within that perimeter, in one corner, is a second fence. It seals the conference center that San Bernardino County’s health department was renting for a holiday luncheon when the two attackers began their assault. A county restaurant inspector targeting his co-workers was joined by his wife in killing 14 and injuring dozens. The conference building will not reopen Monday, and it’s not clear when it might. For now, the act of reuniting elsewhere on campus will be a huge step forward for Inland Regional Center staff. They miss the friendly faces, the hallway chit chat. They yearn

We want to be back at work,’ ” said Lavinia Johnson, the center’s executive director. Sitting for an interview in a tidy courtyard shaded by two of the center’s large, red stone buildings, Johnson and associate executive director Kevin Urtz reflected on the reopening. Johnson apologized for tree debris that has collected in the absence of caretakers. Several Japanese maples still clung to the last of their red leaves. The plan for Monday morning is, after a welcome and some food in the lounges, to do what social workers and counselors do best – sit and talk. “Just be together again,” Johnson said, “share where they’re at.” After that, it’s back to work. Professional counselors will be available for employees who want them. “Our goal is to help people help themselves. And that’s pretty much the same strategy that we want to take with our staff,” Urtz said. “You know, help them through this.”
Europe’s borders back after 1M migrants By KARL RITTER The Associated Press STOCKHOLM – Since it opened in 2000, the Oresund bridge between Sweden and Denmark has been a towering symbol of European integration and hassle-free travel across borders that people didn’t even notice were there. On Monday new travel restrictions imposed by Sweden to stem a record flow of migrants are transforming the bridge into a striking example of how national boundaries are re-emerging. A year of clampdowns on migration and terrorism has all but killed the idea of a borderless
3 held in slaying of Mexico City’s new mayor
MEXICO CITY – Three people, including a minor, were being held Sunday in the slaying of a newly inaugurated mayor just hours into her term in a gang-troubled central Mexican city. Morelos Gov. Graco Ramirez ordered flags on state buildings flown at halfstaff and called Gisela Mota for three days of mourning after the killing of Temixco Mayor Gisela Mota. He blamed organized crime for killing the 33-year-old Mota, a former federal congresswoman who had been sworn in as mayor the day before she was gunned down in her home Saturday morning. Ramirez ordered security measures for all of the state’s mayors, although he gave no details on what that involved. Ramon Castro Castro, Roman Catholic bishop of Cuernavaca, celebrated Mass at Mota’s home Sunday and later spoke critically of a state where some areas are in control of organized crime.

up Monday on the Danish side for train passengers wishing to cross over to Sweden. The move is meant to stop undocumented migrants from reaching Sweden, which abruptly reversed its open-door policy after receiving more than 160,000 asylum-seekers last year, mainly from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan. It comes after the reintroduction of border checks in Germany, Austria, France, Belgium and other countries in what’s supposed to be a passport-free travel zone spanning 26 nations. The moves are supposedly temporary, but are likely to
be extended if Europe’s migrant crisis continues in 2016. “It’s basically every country for itself now,” said Mark Rhinard, an expert on the European Union at the Swedish Institute of International Affairs. Citing exceptional national circumstances related to security, terrorism and public order, several European countries have suspended EU rules that required them to keep their borders open to each other. It’s a significant development that strikes at the very heart of the EU project – the free movement of goods and people across borders.

the West Bank village of Duma sparked soul-searching across the nation. The attack killed 18-monthold Ali Dawabsheh, while his mother, Riham, and father, Saad, later died of their wounds. Ali’s 4-year-old brother Ahmad survived and remains in an Israeli hospital. The attack was condemned across the Israeli political spectrum, and Prime Minister Benjamin Benjamin NetNetanyahu anyahu pledged “zero tolerance” in the fight to bring the assailants to justice. Investigators placed several suspects under “administrative detention,” a draconian measure typically reserved for Palestinian militants that allows authorities to hold suspects for months without charge. “Enforcing the law is the life’s breath of democracy, of the rule of law. We are not restricting it to one sector and we are not focusing on only one sector,” Netanyahu said Sunday. – Wire reports
TEHRAN, Iran – Saudi Arabia announced Sunday it was severing diplomatic relations with Shiite powerhouse Iran amid escalating tensions over the Sunni kingdom’s execution of a prominent Shiite cleric. The move came hours after protesters stormed and set fire to the Saudi Embassy in Tehran and after harsh criticism by Iran’s top leader of the Saudis’ execution of Sheikh Nimr alNimr. Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir said Iranian diplomatic personnel had 48 hours to leave his country and all Saudi diplomatic personnel in Iran had been called home. The mass execution of al-Nimr and 46 others – the largest carried out by Saudi Arabia in three and a half decades – laid bare the sectarian divisions gripping the region as demonstrators took to the streets from Bahrain to Pakistan in protest. It also illustrated the kingdom’s new aggressiveness under King Salman. During his reign, Saudi Arabia has led a coalition fighting Shiite rebels in Yemen
Israel charges 2 Jewish extremists in arson
JERUSALEM – Israel on Sunday charged two Jewish extremists in an arson attack that killed a Palestinian toddler and his parents in July – culminating a drawn-out investigation into a case that has helped fuel months of Israeli-Palestinian violence. The indictments came as Israel said it had broken up a ring of Jewish extremists wanted in a series of attacks on Palestinian and Christian targets. While Israel’s prime minister trumpeted the arrests as a victory for law and order, the charges drew criticism from Palestinians, who said they were too little and too late, and from the suspects’ relatives, who claimed their loved ones had been tortured by Israeli interrogators. While Israel has been dealing with a wave of vigilante-style attacks by suspected Jewish extremists in recent years, the deadly July 31 firebombing in

MCC seeks literacy tutor volunteers NORTHWEST HERALD CRYSTAL LAKE – McHenry County College is holding free information sessions on becoming a literacy tutor for reading, math and English language skills. Provided by MCC’s Adult Education Department, the sessions will be from 1 to 3 p.m. Jan. 27 in Room A368, according to an MCC news release. Anyone older than age 18 is encouraged to attend. A literacy volunteer does not have to speak a second language or have any teaching experience. Tutors will receive free basic training that provides the information and skills needed to work with students. Instructional materials also are provided.
Training classes are on afternoons, evenings or Saturdays, and scheduling is flexible. Last year, more than 100 volunteers tutored more than 455 adult learners. The project was made possible in part by a grant awarded by the Illinois State Library. “Our volunteers are an amazing group of people who change lives and reap immeasurable satisfaction knowing the difference their time makes in the lives of our adult students,” said Marie Day, coordinator of adult education and literary support services. For information or to view the schedule of upcoming trainings, call Day at 815-4558542 or visit www.mchenry. edu/volunteer.
Sheriff: Armed protesters came under false pretenses • PROTESTS
Continued from page A1 the protesters’ ultimate goal is to turn the land over to local authorities so people can use it free of federal oversight. They want to “restore the rights to people so they can use the land and resources” for ranching, logging, mining and recreation. Ryan Bundy said the federal government has been “tromping on people’s rights and privileges and properties and livelihoods.” “I understand the land needs to be used wisely, but that’s what we as stewards need to do. A rancher is going to take care of his own ranch,” Ryan Bundy said. On Sunday, supplies were seen being delivered to the refuge area, which is remote even by rural Oregon standards. Dwight Hammond has said he and his son plan to peacefully report to prison Monday as ordered by the judge. Harney County Sheriff Dave Ward said the group of armed protesters came to town under false pretenses. “These men came to Harney County claiming to be part of militia groups supporting local ranchers, when in reality these men had alternative motives to attempt to overthrow the county and federal government in hopes to spark a movement across the United States,” Ward said in a statement Sunday afternoon. The sheriff said he is working with local and federal au-
thorities to keep the residents in his county safe and to resolve the situation as quickly and peacefully as possible. He is asking people to stay away from the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge for their own safety. He said he does not think any other parts of the county are in immediate danger. Beth Anne Steele, an FBI spokeswoman in Portland, said Saturday that the agency was aware of the situation at the national wildlife refuge. She made no further comment. U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden, who had been briefed by the FBI agent in charge in Portland, Oregon, said most local residents do not support the protesters. “The overwhelming majority of people there very much want to get on with their lives without this disruption and are not in sympathy with a bunch of outsiders,” Wyden said. Local residents have expressed fear of potential of violence. A peaceful rally Saturday in support of the Hammonds featured speeches, flags and marching. As marchers reached the courthouse, they tossed hundreds of pennies at the locked door. Their message: Civilians were buying back their government. After the march passed, two girls swooped in to scavenge the pennies. A few blocks away, Hammond and his wife, Susan, greeted marchers, who planted flower bouquets in the snow.

SEEING VIAGRA IN A WHOLE NEW LIGHT

Some of the effects and unintended consequences of a drug may be so far removed from their calculated effect that patients may not see any connection. Such may be the case with an erectile dysfunction (ED) medication and its ability to alter the vision of genetically susceptible users of the drug. It seems that sildenafil, which is the active ingredient in the erectile dysfunction drug Viagra, can inhibit an enzyme that is important for transmitting light signals from the retina to the brain. As a result, people with normal vision who carry a single copy of the mutant gene for the blinding disease “retinitis pigmentosa” could be more susceptible to altered vision as a result of taking Viagra. P.S. The side effects mentioned above that can affect some users of sildenafil (Viagra) include sensitivity to bright light, blurred vision, and altered color vision. We welcome new research for all medical conditions. At CRYSTAL LAKE OPHTHALMOLOGY, we’re currently accepting new patients and welcome you to call 815-455-4222 to set up an appointment for a comprehensive eye examination. We’re located at 280-A Memorial Court, where we believe everyone should have a professional eye examination on a regular basis to protect the priceless miracle of sight. adno=0333144

Media access at Guantánamo The watchwords of the U.S. detention facility at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, to judge from its website, include a commitment to be transparent, as well as safe, humane and legal. No one would claim the remote island prison has been a paragon of openness, but now a departing general has ordered a change in the rules that mocks the very idea of transparency. Marine Corps Gen. John F. Kelly is slated to retire this month, but, on the way out, he has imposed new restrictions on media access to the site, further limiting what already is a narrow glimpse of the world’s most controversial prison. Until October, reporters could apply for a four-day visit to the base that offered an escorted military tour of the detention center and interviews with troops and key prison officials. The process, to be sure, hardly was ideal. Guidelines for visiting journalists often were arbitrarily interpreted, depending on the escort. Interviews rarely revealed much. Yet this was the only way for the world outside to get any idea of what was going on at the prison, or parts of it. One camp housing secret prisoners always has been, and remains, off limits to journalists, and even to many official visitors. Even so, this limited access was apparently too much for Gen. Kelly, who disclosed in an interview that the Detention Center Zone will be closed to reporters except for four times a year, for tours lasting no more than a day. On those day trips, the reporters no longer will be allowed inside the two major prison buildings where a majority of the 107 current prisoners are held. This decision to dismantle the rules of media access that have prevailed for more than a decade represents an arbitrary and unjustifiable departure in the commitment to transparency made by the Bush and Obama administrations. Next month, Vice Adm. Kurt Tidd becomes the new leader of the Southern Command. He should make restoring the old rules of media access a top priority and thus ensure the Pentagon’s professed commitment to transparency is more than an empty promise. The Miami Herald

2015 was the Year of the Crybaby With a presidential election year here, it’s tempting to call 2015 the Year of the Crybaby. Everybody’s a victim. Judging by TV and social media, roughly half the nation believes it’s being oppressed by the other half. Everybody’s throwing themselves a pity party. There’s an awful lot of self-dramatization going on. Everywhere you look, somebody’s getting fitted for a hairshirt. I was first moved to this thought by an extraordinary “Voices” letter to my local newspaper, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. A fellow in Siloam Springs was offended by columnist John Brummett’s criticism of “extreme evangelical professed Christians in Iowa.” Brummett thinks the Iowa GOP primary gives undue attention to people who think “that God forgives everything but liberalism.” This infuriated the reader, who proclaimed his constitutionally guaranteed right to oppose “abortion, divorce, gay marriage, etc.” regardless of Supreme Court rulings. Should he lose it, “these United States will cease being America.” Sorry, friend; the First Amendment definitely guarantees you the right to obsess about other people’s intimate lives, but not to regulate them. Here in America, you can interpret God’s will any way you like. You just can’t make anybody obey. That doesn’t make you a victim. It makes you a crybaby. Ditto Donald Trump’s whining about “political correctness” while directing coarse insults toward his rivals. A woman using the bathroom is “disgusting,” but poor Donald’s the victim. For most Republicans, it’s an imaginary threat. “In the telling of people like Rush Limbaugh and Bill O’Reilly,” notes Paul Waldman of The American Prospect, “conservatives live their lives in fear of the vicious mobs of liberals wielding political correctness like a nail-studded club.” Poor little things.
VIEWS Gene Lyons Also on the subject of faking, check out Paul Farhi’s Washington Post article, “Six Ways Donald Trump’s wrestling career previewed his campaign,” particularly the embedded video showing the pompadoured billionaire in action. If that doesn’t open your eyes, they must be sewn shut. Elsewhere, upward of half the people in America tell pollsters they’re afraid they’ll be killed by terrorists. This time last year it was Ebola. Yo, America, quit lying to yourselves. Alternatively, you could try emulating Grandpa, who went off to fight World War II with no good expectation he’d be coming back. And you’re scared witless by a ragtag band of religious fanatics in pickup trucks? No you’re not. You’re just titillated by the melodrama. Which is why CNN and the rest keep feeding it to you. Of course, where I live, cows are a bigger threat than terrorists. No joke. A friend almost got himself killed recently after thoughtlessly entering a stall with a newborn calf and its normally placid mama. He escaped with a broken and dislocated shoulder. Storms blow trees across fences, black Angus cattle wander into dark highways and bad things happen. Just not on CNN. Of course, the cultural and political left has its own share of melodramatists, whiners and scolds, many on college campuses. Rather like the fellow in Siloam Springs, student “activists” see themselves as morally incorruptible, and their opinions as graven in stone. Have you seen anything about the great Oberlin College food fight? Students on the Ohio campus decided their cafeteria served “racist” food. Because the sushi was no
good, protesters called it “culturally appropriative,” an insult to Japanese-Americans. Things got very heated. If Oberlin kids got their way, you’d have to hire a Sicilian chef to order a pizza. All we ever worried about was saltpeter in the mashed potatoes. An insult to my Irish ancestors, come to think of it, for whom a boiled potato and a six pack constituted a seven-course meal. But there I go, making light of something grave. Normally, I take my cues from the critical race theorists at Salon.com, where they celebrated Christmas with an article titled “The thought of a white man in my chimney does not delight me: Let’s stop lying to our kids about Santa.” No, I couldn’t possibly make that up. Along with meditations upon the orgasm, tirades against white folks are pretty much the formerly serious website’s entire stockin-trade. The real holiday bell-ringer, however, was a Christmas Eve essay in the New York Times entitled “Dear White America” by Emory University philosopher George Yancy. The professor offers his own struggles to transcend sexism as a model for white men in their efforts to comprehend black lives. “As a sexist, I have failed women,” he confesses. “... I have failed to engage critically and extensively their pain and suffering in my writing. I have failed to transcend the rigidity of gender roles in my own life.” Yeah, well, me too. In theory, I’m totally against “objectifying women,” but Jennifer Lawrence still makes my ears buzz. Then too, my wife kind of likes me that way. As for renouncing my putative “white innocence,” a modest demurral: Give it a rest, professor. I didn’t make this world any more than you. • Arkansas Times columnist Gene Lyons is a National Magazine Award winner and co-author of “The Hunting of the President” (St. Martin’s Press, 2000).

End Medicare Advantage plan rip-offs The Obama administration quite appropriately has launched a crackdown against medical billing fraud that costs Medicare untold millions of dollars. It has been far less aggressive, however, in recouping hundreds of millions of dollars from fraud committed by some private Medicare Advantage plans. Data obtained by the nonprofit, nonpartisan Center for Public
Integrity show the government has yet to complete any audits of Medicare Advantage plans that it had planned to complete by 2014. About 600 private Medicare Advantage plans offer an array of supplements and alternatives to government Medicare coverage. They have about 17 million enrollees. According to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the threat of audits and a
requirement of the Affordable Care Act have resulted in Advantage plans returning about $1 billion to the treasury since 2010. That’s good as far as it goes, but it also indicates how much recoverable money still might be out there. Yet CMS has committed to conducting only 30 audits a year – 5 percent of the 600 plans – even though documents obtained by the Center for Public
Integrity state the agency has the capacity to conduct up to 80 audits each year. Those audits are all the more crucial because of the formula under which Medicare pays the Medicare Advantage plans. It includes few safeguards, and one CMS memo refers to it as being akin to an “honor system.” History shows honor rarely is adequate to protect large amounts of public money The (Scranton, Pennsylvania) Times-Tribune

REPAIRING YOU NATURALLY! With medicine evolving we are able to now offer patients cutting edge treatment options that are alternatives to joint replacement surgery.
Amniotic Stem Cell Therapy is that cutting edge treatment ideal for improving joint mobility, reducing joint pain and preventing costly and painful surgeries. Here at Superior Health and Wellness, we understand you have seen other physicians or even surgeons that have diagnosed you or somebody you know with Arthritis, Degenerative Joint Disease or been told your joints are Bone-on-Bone.
As treatments are tried, the benefit and relief from many of these therapies is short lived and other treatment options are provided to take the previous protocol’s place and still temporary results are obtained. The end result for many of these conditions is major surgery, like a total joint replacement, or live with chronic pain and disability. Well, we have a solution to all these problems and it’s Stem Cell Therapy.
Knee joint with arthritis
▲
As patients are diagnosed with these conditions,
common medical treatments ensue, including antiinflammatory drugs, pain killers, Rooster Comb Injections (Orthovisc/Synvisc), cortisone injections and possibly physical therapy.
Stem Cell Injection Therapy takes advantage of your body’s ability to repair itself naturally! With amniotic stem cell injection therapy, one of our trained practitioners injects the stem cells from amniotic tissues into your area of pain. The injected stem cells contain anti-inflammatory properties similar to that of cortisone but none of the negative and synthetic aspects cortisone injections contain. These stem cell being injected go far beyond
the benefits of standard “cortisone injection therapy.” The growth factors in amniotic stem cells may replace damaged cells in the area of your pain providing you pain relief. Additionally, stem cell injections contain a component called hyaluronic acid, which works to lubricate your joints and tendons, easing your pain and eventually restoring mobility.

Quarterback Jay Cutler is sacked by Detroit’s C.J. Wilson in the second half of the Bears’ 24-20 loss Sunday in the season finale at Soldier Field. H. Rick Bamman – hbamman@shawmedia.com
DOWN AND OUT
BEARS’ FIRST SEASON UNDER NEW REGIME ENDS WITH 7TH HOME LOSS
Expectations for Fox, Pace Coach says Bears are close, will be raised dramatically but that’s probably a reach What should we make of the Bears’ 24-20 loss to the Lions on Sunday to close out the 2015 season? From the opener 17 weeks ago, they were without their No. 2 running back, top three receivers, top two tight ends, top two centers, top four defensive linemen and starting strong safety – and Shea McClellin was active but invisible. In Week 1, they were a consensus pick to finish last in the NFC North. Now they have. Do you want pipe dreams or reality? 2015 was the first year of at least a three-year rebuilding program. Based on season-opening expectations and how short-handed they were, I don’t see how you can be anything but impressed by the fight they put up against the Lions and how close they came to stealing a win. But you can’t be happy, and you shouldn’t be. There is no such thing as a moral victory. Still, at this time a year ago the Bears
BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush were the laughingstock of the NFL. Now they’re a team short on talent but with a growing reputation for their effort, want-to and quality coaching staff. One year ago you couldn’t wait till everyone was fired and Jay Cutler was ridden out of town on a rail. Now you have a quarterback for now and the future, Cutler, and your greatest fear is that the offensive and defensive coordinators will be pilfered to be head coaches on other teams. While a loss is a loss, the Lions game still capped what has been a good but not great first year for the Ryan Pace/John Fox regime.
See ARKUSH, page B8
CHICAGO – It’s over, finally and thankfully and appropriately. A bunch of Bears you never heard of lost Sunday to a Lions team that finished with a losing record for the 13th time in the past 15 seasons. Happy New Year to you, too. It means everyone can move on from a ponderous season and set his or her sights on next season, provided there is no lasting eye damage. It means the free year the Bears gave general manager Ryan Pace and coach John Fox when they hired them last January has expired. There will be no Cubs-like three-year pass. It’s time to speed-build a winner. The Bears finished 6-10, including 1-7 at Soldier Field, which wouldn’t seem to be the foundation for future success but apparently is, according to Fox. “It will get better,” he said. How? “Just the kind of guys we’ve got, the way
VIEWS Rick Morrissey they go about it, the way we’re going to play football,” he said. “… We’re going to need a couple pieces. We’re not real far (away). I know it looks like we are, recordwise, but we’re really not. The core of our team is going to be with that group in (the locker room). They understand it.” This must be like cubist art. Fox sees a core. I can’t recognize a thing. Quarterback Jay Cutler almost surely will be back, for better or worse, in good times and bad, through Alshon Jeffery’s sickness and health.

The Detroit Lions intercepted Jay Cutler three times and held on after the teams started trading scores in the second half for a 24-20 victory Sunday in the season finale at Soldier Field. It was a four-point game when Detroit’s Glover Quin intercepted Cutler with just less than two minutes remaining, and the Lions hung on from there.
Teammates pay tribute to running back Matt Forte after Sunday’s loss to the Lions, which probably was the 30-year-old’s last in a Bears uniform. PAGE B5

BULLS NOTES
New look to bench as Portis steps out By JOE COWLEY jcowley@suntimes.com TORONTO – No nickname necessary just yet. As far as Doug McDermott was concerned Sunday, he and his fellow bench mates haven’t earned that. They definitely didn’t against Toronto at the Air Canada Centre, as the group had an off night. In other words, “The Bench Mob” from the 201011 season is still safe. Bobby Portis “We all feed off each other,” McDermott said, when asked about the Bulls’ bench trying to carve out an identity this season. Doug “There’s a cerMcDermott tain energy on that bench that we haven’t had in the past, so it’s fun to be a part of. I think different guys step up each night, which is fun to see. Good for us.” And it’s no mystery why this group has been playing at a high level the past six games. That’s about the same time first-year coach Fred Hoiberg finally started giving rookie Bobby Portis heavy minutes in the wake of the Joakim Noah shoulder injury. “Bobby has obviously brought a whole different dimension for us, and we’re all kind feeding off his energy on the bench and on the floor,” McDermott said. Really not just the bench when it comes to Portis, but the entire team. “I think the big thing is [the bench has] developed a very nice chemistry,” Hoiberg said. “With Joakim Noah out of the lineup now, that’s given some other guys some opportunities, specifically Bobby Portis, and he’s been really good for us in that bench role. “He comes out and plays with great energy, has intensity, can score it. Just a really versatile basketball player, and I think he’s just scratching the surface of who he’s going to be.’’ Along with Portis and McDermott, Aaron Brooks and Tony Snell also have had big moments this season off the bench, and McDermott said it doesn’t hurt that Brooks and Portis each have “a little crazy in them.” “It keeps the rest of us loose,” McDermott said of the intense personalities of Brooks and Portis. “It keeps me real loose, knowing those guys are giving it their all, have tons of energy, and they have your back, too. It’s a fun group to be a part of, but no nicknames yet.” Dunleavy update: Mike Dunleavy has missed the entire season so far after undergoing back surgery right before the start of training camp, and then having a setback in November, but there is now some optimism Dunleavy could start some basic basketball activity. Hoiberg said the veteran forward will start cutting and making basketball moves in the next two to three weeks. “He feels really good,” Hoiberg said. “That’s been a positive. He’s been getting some shots on the floor. Not a lot of movement at this point. He’s getting on the treadmill – the Ultra-G – anti-gravity thing. The big thing is he’s doesn’t have any type of pain after his workout, so as far as a specific timeframe I think it’s a little early for that. “Hope to get him back out there moving and cutting probably in the next two to three weeks.”

The Bulls’ Jimmy Butler celebrates a 3-point basket against the Raptors during the second half Sunday in Toronto. Butler scored 40 of his 42 points in the second half to help the Bulls rally for a 115-113 victory over the Raptors.
BULLS 115, RAPTORS 113
Butler simply Jordan-esque
Guard breaks M.J.’s club record with 40 points in 2nd half of comeback win By JOE COWLEY jcowley@suntimes.com TORONTO – It would have been a bad day to have to play Jimmy Butler in H-O-R-S-E. To try and stop him in a live basketball game? Good luck. Toronto found that out up close and personal, as the Bulls’ guard broke Michael Jordan’s franchise record of points in a half, scoring 40 of his game-high 42 in the final two quarters. And oh, by the way, did it in a Bulls comeback win, as they outscored the Raptors, 34-26, in the fourth quarter to win, 115-113, Sunday at the Air Canada Centre. Not only did the Raptors learn Butler is establishing himself as NBA elite, but also learned never make Butler taste his own blood. It was in the second quarter in which Butler caught an elbow from
DeMarre Carroll and had to go into the locker room to get stitched up. At that point he was 1 for 4 with two points. The man that came out for the second half? Well, Taj Gibson described it best. “He was a man possessed,” Gibson said. “He was so mad when he got hit in the mouth. You can tell, so much blood flowing Taj Gibson everywhere, he was so mad. I’ve never seen him get that mad before. He’s been in a rough game before, but especially getting his lip busted. But he came back a man possessed. “Just going, trying to get stops, kept attacking the basket. It was just one of those nights where you just can’t miss. When he hit that corner 3 [in the third quarter], I knew it was his night.’’ By the time Butler nailed a 3-pointer with just 30.9 seconds left to give
the Bulls a 112-111 lead, it was more than just “his night.” It was a season highlight for the 20-12 Bulls through the first 32 games. But as far as Butler being put in the same category as a Jordan record? He wasn’t having any of that. “I’m just happy we won to tell you the truth,” Butler said. “I don’t want to be compared to him because you see what he’s done for this game. I’m just happy we got the win. Points or no points, we’re leaving here with a W. “Don’t compare me to him. That’s exactly what I said. I don’t want to be compared to him because then people are going to think I gotta do what he did. I’m trying. But we’re nowhere near the same player.” As far as the bloody mouth, Butler did acknowledge he wasn’t thrilled with the elbow. “My confidence is always high,” Butler said. “I know how much work I put in in the summertime. I’m not
going to make shots every night. But I have to be able to change the game in different ways.” Lost in all the Butler hoopla was the news that Derrick Rose would have to undergo an MRI on Monday. Although Rose and MRIs have never gotten along, it was time for the two to get reacquainted. According to coach Fred Hoiberg, because of some “residual pain” in Rose’s right knee area after dealing with right hamstring tendinitis the past week, the team wanted to be safe and have the point guard further evaluated. Rose, who missed his third straight game, however, wasn’t concerned. “I just overworked myself,” Rose said of this latest setback. “I gotta figure out the days where I’m going to sit. I have to do a little bit better. But the games I have rolling, just tried to give myself a little bit more than I had, and it backfired on me.”
BLACKHAWKS 3, SENATORS 0
Hawks hit stride near season’s midpoint Winning streak at 3 as Crawford earns 6th shutout By MARK LAZERUS mlazerus@suntimes.com CHICAGO – A lot can happen in 42 games. Winning streaks and losing skids, injuries and trades, shootouts and slugfests. But as the Blackhawks approach the halfway point of the season, the meat-grinder of the Central Division suddenly doesn’t seem so daunting, and the early season concerns suddenly don’t seem so worrying. The Hawks won their third straight game Sunday evening, as Corey Crawford blanked the Ottawa Senators, 3-0, for his sixth shutout of the season – already two more than his career high. With the Dallas Stars and St. Louis Blues each having lost two straight, the Hawks find themselves in a tie for second with the Blues (with a game in hand) and within 10 points of the front-running Stars. It’s not exactly time for the playoff push yet, but after a shaky, shuffling start to the season, the Hawks seem to have settled on a lineup and are comfortably in playoff position, 11 points clear of sixth-place Colorado. “I don’t think we’re ever comfortable where we’re at,” said Duncan Keith,

Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford stops the shot of the Ottawa Senators’ Alex Chiasson in the first period Sunday at the United Center. who scored the first goal of the game in the second period of a sleepy affair at a quiet United Center. “We always want to keep on getting as high as we can in the standings. We know that it’s basically halfway, but there’s lots of things we need to improve on and tweak and work on before you start talking about playoffs. It’s going to be a hard-fought race all the way to the end. We just want to use this month, when we have lots of games, to try to get as many wins as we can.” So far, so good. The Hawks beat Arizona in a wild shootout, then scrambled for an overtime victory at Colorado, before smothering the Senators on Sun-
day. They just keep finding ways to win. “Not every night, but that’s what we try to do,” Keith said. The one consistent all season has been Crawford (26 saves). He never had more than four shutouts in a season before, but now he has four in his past 10 games. The Senators didn’t challenge him too much – they missed the net on a whopping 39 of their 65 shot attempts – but when challenged, Crawford came up big. His best stop came on Max McCormick on the doorstep late in the second period. Crawford slid to his right in anticipation of a pass when he saw the Ottawa puck-carrier’s stick blade turn over, and was there waiting when
McCormick one-timed the feed. It was the 300th game of Crawford’s career. “Things have gone by so fast already, to the point where I am right now,” Crawford said. “It’s just been fun the last five years here. It’s been awesome to play in Chicago. It’s just gone by so fast, though.” The game wasn’t one for the endof-season highlight packages, but standings points count more than style points. After the teams trudged through a dreadfully dull first period, Keith’s goal from just inside the blue line at 8:13 of the second period gave the Hawks a 1-0 lead. Artem Anisimov gave the Hawks a two-goal cushion at 6:01 of the third when he put in a Michal Rozsival rebound; it was his third goal in as many games. And the suddenly red-hot Andrew Desjardins scored an empty-netter in the final minute for his fourth goal in three games. And almost halfway home, the Hawks appear to be hitting their stride, with another reinforcement on the way in Richard Panik, acquired from Toronto on Sunday night for Jeremy Morin. “There were some ups and downs,” Keith said. “We’ve done some good things, but we know that we can get better.” Note: Before the game, the Hawks held a brief ceremony to honor Patrick Kane for his franchise-record 26-game point streak. General manager Stan Bowman presented Kane with an engraved gold puck and framed print.

Buckeyes survive Illini’s late flurry By CRAIG MERZ The Associated Press COLUMBUS, Ohio – Marc Loving led four Ohio State players in double figures with 27 points as the Buckeyes held on to beat Illinois, 75-73, Sunday for its sixth straight win. Loving scored six straight points to carry Ohio State from a 61-59 deficit to a 65-61 lead with 2:21 to play thanks to a dunk, a 3-pointer and a foul shot. Ohio State held a fivepoint lead when Michael Finke’s tip-in made it 70-67 with 23.3 seconds left. Jae-Sean Tate’s slam with 12.6 seconds left made 72-67 before Jalen Coleman-Lands hit a 3-pointer to pull Illinois (8-7, 0-2 Big Ten) within 72-70. A pair of Loving free throws upped the score to 7470 but Malcolm Hill hit another 3-pointer with 2.3 seconds left. Loving made one of two foul shots and a desperation shot from midcourt by Hill at the buzzer missed.
JaQuan Lyle, who had no points or assists in the first half when he played less than two minutes because of foul trouble, had 14 points and five assists for the Buckeyes (10-5, 2-0). Keita Bates-Diop had 11 and Kam Williams added 10. Hill, Kendrick Nunn, Coleman-Lands and Finke had 14 points apiece for the Illini. Ohio State led, 52-51, with nine minutes to play when Kam Williams scored five straight points and Lyle added a floater in the lane to push the Buckeyes’ lead to 59-51. But the Illini got a basket by Finke and a trey by Coleman-Lands to close to within three. Hill’s basket and Finke’s third 3-pointer of the second half gave Illinois a 6159 lead before a Loving dunk tied the score with four minutes left. Loving and Bates-Diop, from Normal, Illinois, both had 11 points as the Buckeyes took a 30-26 halftime lead.

VIKINGS 20, PACKERS 13
FIVE-DAY PLANNER
Vikings stop Pack, win North By GENARO C. ARMAS The Associated Press GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Minnesota Vikings are the new kings of the NFC North. Adrian Peterson ran for a touchdown, and cornerback Captain Munnerlyn returned a fumble 55 yards for a score in a 20-13 win Sunday night over the Green Bay Packers. The Vikings (11-5), claiming their first division title since 2009, will host the Seattle Seahawks for a wild-card playoff game Sunday. The Packers (10-6) will travel to Washington, also Sunday, after watching their four-year reign atop the NFC North end. The upstart Vikings survived despite a shaky finish in hostile territory. The defense knocked away a desperation pass in the end zone from Aaron Rodgers on fourth down as time expired.

The Packers’ Aaron Rodgers is stopped by the Vikings’ Eric Kendricks in the first half Sunday night in Green Bay, Wis. Packers kicker Mason Crosby forced a fumble on Cordarrelle Pat-
terson’s potentially field-flipping 70-yard kickoff return with 5:21 left. But the Packers’ next drive ended with Rodgers being intercepted in the end zone by Xavier Rhodes. The Vikings got the sterling defensive effort needed on the road to win their first game at Lambeau Field since 2009. Coach Mike Zimmer smiled and raised both arms in the air after Rodgers’ pass was knocked down in the end zone. A handful of Vikings later came back onto the field to take pictures. They’ll remember this night for a while. Peterson ran for 67 yards on 19 carries. Teddy Bridgewater was only 10 of 19 for 99 yards, and the Vikings’ passing game was rendered largely ineffective. But the defense snuffed out Green Bay’s dysfunctional offense at nearly every turn until the frantic fourth quarter. Everson Griffen had two sacks.
NFL NOTES
Browns clean house; 49ers fire Tomsula The ASSOCIATED PRESS CLEVELAND – The Browns changed uniforms to start the season and their coach and general manager to end it. Hours after a 28-12 loss to the rival Pittsburgh Steelers in the season finale, owner Jimmy Haslam fired coach Mike Pettine and general manager Ray Farmer after their second straight losing season in charge. It’s almost a tradition. Pettine went 3-13 this season and
10-22 in two years, dropping 18 of his final 21 games after a promising 7-4 start in 2014. Pettine’s job security had been in doubt for months, and not even Haslam’s vow at the start of training camp not to “blow things up” could stop another regime change in Cleveland. Pettine was the team’s seventh full-time coach since 1999, and the team has changed coaches and GMs five times since 2008. Niners’ Tomsula out: At Santa Clara, California, Jim Tomsula was fired by the San Francisco

49ers on Sunday night after one disappointing season, with an announcement a little more than two hours after the season finale. Elevated from his defensive line coaching duties in an unconventional, surprising promotion by CEO Jed York last January, Tomsula went 5-11 as the Niners missed the playoffs for the second straight season. They were 8-8 a year ago in then-coach Jim Harbaugh’s fourth season before his “mutual” parting with the franchise, as the team described it.

Forte simply ‘the best’
Teammates reflect after RB’s likely finale with Bears By MIKE DeFABO mdefabo@shawmedia.com Matt Forte pointed skyward as Soldier Field erupted with cheers. The Bears’ veteran running back had just sprinted to the end zone on a 23-yard swing pass from Jay Cutler. Forte jogged to the sideline and tossed the football to a ball boy. He keeps most of his touchdown balls. This one was no different. He’ll have it painted like the others and keep it at his house, Matt Forte just like the others. Yet, depending on how this offseason plays out, this one could become much different than the rest. After eight seasons in which he has racked up the most yards from scrimmage of any Bear since Walter Payton, Forte enters the offseason facing an uncertain future. His four-year, $30.4 million contract expired Sunday with the Bears’ 24-20 loss to the Lions. Now, the Bears team that drafted him in the second round in 2008 will weigh its allegiance toward a player who spent his whole career in Chicago against the age and agility of a 30-year-old ballcarrier. The coming months will determine
“The guy is the best NFL player I’ve ever played with.” Matt Slauson Bears offensive lineman, on Matt Forte
whether Forte will view Sunday’s touchdown ball with special significance. Whether the Bears sign Forte or opt to go with the younger (and cheaper) options of rookie fourth-round pick Jeremy Langford and second-year back Ka’Deem Carey, the mark Forte made on his Bears teammates and coaches was evident. “I played with a lot of awesome players and future Hall of Famers,” center Matt Slauson said. “But Matt, to me, is the absolute best… The guy is the best NFL player I’ve ever played with.” Forte finished the game with 76 rushing yards on 17 carries, three receptions for 34 yards and the receiving touchdown. His 110 yards push his career yards from scrimmage to 12,718. The touchdown makes 64 for his career. He remains, at 30, a productive back. Despite missing three games with a knee injury, he finished the season with 898 yards and four touchdowns rushing, leading the way in a three-headed backfield.
“It’s hard to explain how much I learned from him,” Langford said. “I’ve learned how to be a professional, how to compete every game – in it or not – and how to finish, just like he did today.” After the game, Forte took one more trip through the South end zone and reached into the stands. He gave some fans high-fives. He handed over some of his gear. “I wasn’t able to get everybody, but I was able to slap a few hands and say thank you,” Forte said. “If this was the last game that I play at Soldier Field, I didn’t want to leave without showing the fans that I appreciate them in person.” Afterward, Forte took the long jog across the field. He vanished into the tunnel on the north side of the stadium for what might have been his final time as a Bear. “I’m going to tell my kids about this guy,” offensive lineman Kyle Long said. “I’m going to tell my grandkids about this guy if they don’t already know because he’s going to be everywhere. He’s a legend. He’s somebody who should be in the same conversation with the greats.” Then, Long repeated the same phrase that was echoed around the locker room Sunday. “He’s the best player I’ve ever played with.”

Mariani makes opportunity count By NATE ATKINS natkins@chicagofootball.com CHICAGO – Week 17 isn’t a time for moral victories or confidence-boosters for teams finishing in last place of the division. But it might be a time for a Marc Mariani story, which on Sunday got close enough. With the receiving corps finally at its peak of injuries to where even the tight ends were down to starting a midseason acquisition, the Bears’ return specialist received the offensive spotlight for the first time in his career.
And that, he said, was something to be proud of. In a game missing Eddie Royal and Zach Miller in addition to the usual cast of banged-up pass-catchers, Mariani became the most targeted man Marc Mariani on the Bears as well as their leading receiver. His eight targets, six catches and 80 yards were career highs. Of course, they didn’t net a victory in a 24-20 loss to the Lions. But it certainly meant
something to a career return specialist from Montana who has been begging to become something more. “I’ve been getting ready and working like I was the guy, waiting for my number to get called,” said Mariani, who entered the season with 24 career receiving yards before adding 300 this year. “It was a lot of work and time and preparation to get to that point where they called my number this year, and it was really gratifying for me to be able to go out there and try to run with it.” His impact performance as a receiver came in his 54th ca-
reer game, but how much will it matter to a Bears organization that has been a place of rapid change over the past two seasons? That’s the question he admitted he can’t answer now, but Sunday certainly made him hungry to be a part of it. “I love this group,” he said. “This is my sixth year now wrapping up, and I haven’t been around any locker rooms like this, man. I love this team and I love this organization. It meant a lot to me to be out there and to be put in a situation to make plays and help us win.”
Carolina closed out its remarkable season by wrapping up home-field advantage in the NFC. Denver turned to Peyton Manning to take advantage of New England’s slip-up in the AFC. And Rex Ryan made certain to continue the New York Jets’ playoff drought. Carolina and Denver wrapped up the No. 1 playoff seeds in each conference by winning at home on the final day of the regular season on Sunday. Carolina routed Tampa Bay, 38-10, while Denver edged San Diego, 27-20, to win the AFC West title. New England will be the No. 2 seed in the AFC after losing at Miami, while Arizona will have the other bye in the NFC despite getting routed, 36-6, by Seattle. Denver’s victory finally settled the AFC playoff picture. Cincinnati is the No. 3 seed and will host AFC North rival Pittsburgh in a wild-card game on Saturday night, while AFC South champion Houston is the No. 4 seed and will host Kansas City, winners of 10 straight games. The Texans and Chiefs will play the first game of the
Wild-card playoffs Saturday Kansas City (11-5) at Houston (97), 3:35 p.m. (ABC/ESPN) Pittsburgh (10-6) at Cincinnati (12-4), 7:15 p.m. (CBS) Sunday Seattle (10-6) at Minnesota (11-6), noon (NBC) Green Bay (10-6) at Washington (9-7), 3:30 p.m. (FOX) playoffs Saturday afternoon. The NFC playoff picture was settled Sunday night when Minnesota beat Green Bay, 2013, to win the NFC North. The Vikings will host Seattle in the early game Sunday, and Green Bay will travel to NFC East champion Washington for the late Sunday game. The Redskins closed the season with their fourth straight win on Sunday, beating Dallas. The highlight of the day was Ryan and the Buffalo Bills stopping the Jets from making the playoffs and giving the Steelers the final playoff spot in the AFC. The Bills beat the Jets, 22-17, and Pittsburgh knocked off Cleveland, 28-12, the only results that would have gotten the Steelers into the postseason.
NFL roundup BRONCOS 27, CHARGERS 20 DENVER – Peyton Manning replaced Brock Osweiler in the third quarter Sunday and led Denver to a win over San Diego (4-12) that clinched the top seed in the AFC playoffs for the Broncos. Combined with New England’s loss at Miami, the Broncos (12-4) secured the No. 1 seed even as they head into the playoffs with a quarterback quandary on their hands. BILLS 22, JETS 17 ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. – Ryan Fitzpatrick threw interceptions on each of New York’s final three drives and the Jets’ playoff hopes were dashed by Buffalo (8-8). The Jets (10-6) would have made the postseason for the first time since 2010 with a win, but the defeat combined with Pittsburgh’s win at Cleveland ended those hopes. STEELERS 28, BROWNS 12 CLEVELAND – Ben Roethlisberger threw three touchdown passes, Pittsburgh’s defense dominated, and the Steelers (10-6) slipped into the AFC playoffs with a win over Cleveland (3-13), which fired coach Mike Pettine and GM Ray Farmer after the game. DOLPHINS 20, PATRIOTS 10 MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – Tom Brady was sacked twice and knocked down at least half a dozen times, and New England missed a chance to clinch the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs with a loss to Miami (6-10). New England (12-4) ends up as a No. 2 seed after Denver defeated San Diego to earn the top seed. TEXANS 30, JAGUARS 6 HOUSTON – J.J. Watt and Whitney Mercilus led the defense and Jonathan Grimes scored twice to help the Texans (9-7) clinch the AFC South with a win over Jacksonville (5-11). Houston will host Kansas City next weekend in the a wild-card game. Houston tight end C.J. Fiedorowicz of Johnsburg had two receptions for 14 yards. BENGALS 24, RAVENS 16 CINCINNATI – AJ McCarron overcame a rough start and threw a pair of touchdown passes for Cincinnati in a win over Baltimore (5-11). The Bengals (12-4) matched the best record in franchise history – they also won 12 games during the 1981 and 1988 seasons when they reached the Super Bowl. PANTHERS 38, BUCCANEERS 10 CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Cam Newton ran for two touchdowns and threw for two more, and Carolina (15-1) captured the NFC’s No. 1 seed for the first time with a win against
Tampa Bay. Jameis Winston was intercepted twice, and the Bucs (6-10) finished last in the NFC South for the fourth time in five years. CHIEFS 23, RAIDERS 17 KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Alex Smith threw two touchdown passes, Kansas City sacked Derek Carr six times, and the Chiefs (11-5) collected a franchise-best 10th straight win, beating Oakland (7-9). The Chiefs are headed to Houston for a wild-card game next weekend after Denver won the AFC West with its win over San Diego. SEAHAWKS 36, CARDINALS 6 GLENDALE, Ariz. – Russell Wilson threw three touchdown passes in a second-quarter outburst, and Seattle (10-6) snapped a nine-game winning streak for Arizona (13-3). The Seahawks dominated from their opening possession and led 30-6 at the half. EAGLES 35, GIANTS 30 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – New York (6-10) suffered another tough loss in what may have been coach Tom Coughlin’s final game. Former Giant Walter Thurmond scored on an 83-yard fumble return in the third quarter and Philadelphia (7-9) added to Coughlin’s season-long frustrations. REDSKINS 34, COWBOYS 23 ARLINGTON, Texas – Kirk Cousins threw for three touchdowns for Washington (9-7) before leaving late in the first half of a victory over Dallas (4-12). Cousins broke Jay Shroeder’s franchise record for yards passing in a season, finishing with 4,166. COLTS 30, TITANS 24 INDIANAPOLIS – Recently signed Josh Freeman and Ryan Lindley each threw a touchdown pass in the first half, and Jerrell Freeman scored on a 23-yard interception in the second for Indianapolis (8-8), which beat Tennessee (3-13) but missed the postseason. Tennessee clinched the No. 1 draft pick by losing its fourth straight. SAINTS 20, FALCONS 17 ATLANTA – Jamarca Sanford’s interception at the Atlanta 25 with less than two minutes remaining set up Kai Forbath’s 30-yard field goal as time expired for New Orleans (7-9) in a victory over Atlanta (8-8). 49ERS 19, RAMS 16 (OT) SANTA CLARA, Calif. – Phil Dawson kicked a 23-yard field goal 11:33 into overtime for his fourth of the game to lift San Francisco (5-11) over St. Louis (7-9) in what might have been Jim Tomsula’s last game as coach for the 49ers.

BEARS NOTES
Bears finish 1-7 at Soldier Field, worst home record since 1973 By ARTHUR ARKUSH aarkush@chicagofootball.com CHICAGO – Coach John Fox called the Bears’ season-ending 24-20 home loss to the Lions on Sunday “pretty much a microcosm of our season.” They lost by one possession for the sixth time. They were woefully undermanned on both sides of the football, a troubling trend for a club that finishes 2015 with 13 players
on injured reserve and Sunday without the services of seven Week 1 starters because of injuries. “As I told the fellows in there, I’m very, very proud of them. Their effort, their spirit, they hung together,” Fox said. “We went through a lot, which are pretty good building blocks of foundations to move forward. I’m not proud of our record, but our guys competed.” The Bears fought until the
end, but they again suffered another loss at home, marking the first time they have finished with only one Soldier Field victory since 1973 – before the NFL went to a 16-game schedule. “I know it’s frustrating to go 1-7 here at Soldier Field, but we will get better,” Fox vowed. The Bears have two division wins in the past two seasons and have dropped six consecutive games to Detroit, the lon-
gest such streak since 1970. As much progress as the Bears have made, their home and divisional deficiencies depict how much work remains to be done. “I think we just need a couple of pieces,” Fox said. “We aren’t real far. I know it looks like we are, recordwise. But we’re really not.”
Bears to pick 11th in draft:
With a 6-10 finish in the 2015 season, the Bears will have the
11th overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft. They had the same record as the Buccaneers, Giants and Dolphins, but the strongest strength of schedule gave the Bears the 11th pick. The last time the Bears picked 11th was 1994, when they selected John Thierry. Other Bears to be selected 11th overall include Donnell Woolford in 1989, Wilber Marshall in 1984, Keith Van Horne in
1981, Joe Moore in 1971 and Dave Behrman in 1963. J.J. Watt, Patrick Willis and Jay Cutler are the three most notable players to be picked 11th overall in the past 10 years. The Bears also know their 2016 opponents after their lastplace finish in the NFC North. In addition to crossing over with the NFC East and AFC South next season, they will host the 49ers and travel to play the Buccaneers.

Husband helping ex-lover Several treatment options can seems to be helping himself ease upset stomach, heartburn Dear Abby: My husband went to Florida three months ago to care for an ailing former lover. He told me she will be leaving him a sizable inheritance, and he needs to protect her from “vultures.” I admit I am suspicious of his motives. I think there may be more going on than what he’s telling me, but he has been painting a pretty picture of how rosy our future will be with her gift. He now has suggested we get a temporary divorce so he can marry her in order to get her entire estate. He claims it will be nothing more than a business arrangement. His suggestion left me flabbergasted. Even though our marriage has been rocky at times, I have never seen this side of him. I don’t know whether to believe him and simply be disappointed at his callous behavior, or not believe him and conclude he really wants a divorce so he can marry her. Any thoughts? – Heart-

Dear Dr. K: I’ve been taking PPIs for years to treat my heartburn. Now I hear they might increase my risk for a heart attack. Should I stop taking them? Dear Reader: Proton pump inhibitors, or PPIs, are antacid drugs used to treat some ulcers, heartburn (GERD) and other causes of upset stomach. These popular drugs include the brand names Prilosec, Nexium and Prevacid. PPIs, available over the counter, have been considered quite safe. That’s why one recent study attracted much attention: It found people who take PPIs are at a higher risk for heart attack than people who don’t use these drugs. For the study, researchers analyzed the medical records of almost 4 million people. They looked to see if there was a higher rate of cardiovascular problems, including heart attack, among people taking proton pump inhibitors for GERD. They found people who had taken a PPI had a 16 to 21 percent increased risk of heart attack compared with people who had not taken these drugs. What’s more, the increased heart attack risk was not limited to people who already had
ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff heart disease or to older individuals. No increased heart attack risk was seen among people who took another type of antacid (called an H2-blocker). These include cimetidine (Tagamet) and ranitidine (Zantac). This study cannot – and was not designed to – prove whether PPIs are to blame for increased heart attack risk. There could be other factors that both increase the likelihood a person will use PPIs and increase the risk of heart attacks. But these results do warrant some concern. That’s because the study was very large and carefully done. On the other hand, other large studies have not come to the same conclusion. So the evidence is mixed. The alternative treatments to PPIs don’t have to be other pills, such as H2-blockers. Lifestyle changes often help. You may be able to control your stomach symptoms by: • Changing your diet. Cutting back on coffee, chocolate and fatty foods
may help. You also can limit carbonated beverages, citrus fruits and tomatoes. • Elevating the head of your bed. • Not lying down right after you eat. • Not smoking. • Moderating your alcohol intake. • Losing excess weight. You also should consider adjusting other drugs you may take. For example, if you take an anti-inflammatory drug (such as ibuprofen), you may be able to take it with food or reduce the dose, which may reduce stomach-related side effects. If you take a PPI and are concerned about this research, ask your doctor about other treatment options. You may get relief with over-the-counter antacids, such as Mylanta and Maalox, or over-the-counter or prescription H2 blockers, such as famotidine (Pepcid) or ranitidine (Zantac). I would recommend this particularly if you have risk factors for heart disease or already diagnosed heart disease. • Write to Dr. Komaroff at www.askdoctork.com or Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

3 things that worked
1 2
Feeding Forte: The Bears gave Matt Forte every opportunity in possibly his final game with the franchise. He had 17 carries for 76 yards (4.5-yard average) and three catches for 34 yards, including a 23-yard touchdown catch-and-run on a swing pass.
3
Third-down defense: They didn’t get the stop on the one that mattered most, but the Bears’ defense did hold the Lions to a rate of 4 for 10 on third down.
Reserve wideouts: It certainly wasn’t enough in a four-point loss, but Mariani (six catches for 80 yards), Josh Bellamy (three catches for 49 yards, including a 34-yard touchdown) and Deonte Thompson (45-yard catch to set up Forte’s touchdown) did a nice job. Those three would have been the fifth, sixth and seventh receivers on the Bears’ depth chart, respectively, heading into the summer.
3 that didn’t
1
Cutler’s streak: Jay Cutler had gone 14 games this season without throwing multiple interceptions. Not only did that streak come to an end with his second pick late in the first half, but he threw a third interception late in the game with the Bears driving to try to take the lead.
2 3
Covering Megatron: Calvin Johnson had an easy time Sunday against the Bears’ defense, including Tracy Porter, catching 10 of 15 balls thrown his way for 137 yards, including a 36-yard touchdown.
First-half offense: For the second time this season, the Bears were shut out before halftime. It was only the third time all year they failed to score points in the second quarter. They went into the locker room with 114 total yards – 59 on the ground and 55 through the air.
3 moments that mattered
1
Cutler’s first pick: The Bears had gone 77 yards in 14 plays, an Adam Gase special of a drive, only to end in an interception. Cutler was flushed outside the pocket on third down from the 5-yard line and tried to thread a jump ball to undrafted rookie Cameron Meredith. James Ihedigbo grabbed the deflected pass, keeping points off the board for the Bears, a common theme in the red zone this season.
2
Forte’s touchdown: In maybe the loudest moment at Soldier Field all season, the fans were exuberant for Forte’s 23-yards receiving touchdown, knowing it’s possibly his last as a Bear. There were 10,570 unused tickets, but those in attendance gave Forte the ovation he deserved.
3
One final catch: Megatron’s final reception, and the last yards the Bears would give up on the season, ended the game. On third-and-5 from his own 38-yard line, Stafford hit Johnson for a 6-yard gain, with Johnson having easy separation on his slant route from Porter. The Lions took three kneel downs to end the game, and the season.
What now? Record: 6-10 What it means: The Bears finish with double-digit losses in back-to-back years for the first time since 1999-2000 and end the season in last place in the NFC North. What’s next: An important offseason for Ryan Pace and John Fox, with big decisions looming (Matt Forte, Alshon Jeffery) and another opportunity to get the team better in the NFL draft. The H.

Hardly any winning teams on ’16 schedule • ARKUSH Continued from page B1 Now the honeymoon is over. Better than last year won’t be good enough a year from now. Step 2 of the rebuilding plan should be to win nine or 10 games and sneak into the back end of the playoff tournament. Basically, Fox’s season just ended, but now Pace’s begins, and his first order of business is a decision that will help define him: the future of Matt Forte. Before Sunday, only Barry Sanders, LaDainian Tomlinson, Curtis Martin and Ricky Watters had totaled 1,200 yards from scrimmage in each of their first eight years in the league. Now, Forte has, too. Forte might be 30, but if he has slipped at all, it isn’t noticeable. “Yes, I’d like to stay here, but I don’t have any control over that right now,” he said. “When free
agency hits, we’ll obviously cross that bridge when it gets here. Yeah, I’d obviously like to finish my career out with the Bears. I was drafted by them, so that is special to me.” Pace has given no indication what’s on his mind relative to Forte. Kyle Long clearly will be a building block for the future, but at tackle or guard? He thinks his team has taken a clear step forward by winning one more game than last year. “Well, that’s progress,” Long said. “It’s not the progress we’re looking for. Being a starter on both teams, last year and this year, I can tell you that this is a different team this time around. Although the record doesn’t reflect that, and I’ve said it a million times, I’ll go to fight with this group any day of the week.” Asked what he thinks of his first team of Bears, Fox said, “The way
we are going to play football as I said, today was a microcosm of what we’ve done all season. “I think we just need a couple of pieces. We aren’t real far. I know it looks like we are, recordwise. But we’re really not. I think the core of our team is the group in there, and they understand and know how to operate it.” Fox had best be right. Next year’s slate of opponents includes only two playoff teams in addition to the Packers and Vikings – Washington (9-7) and Houston (9-7). Other than that, there are no winning teams on the schedule. High marks won’t come without wins, and there will be no more bonus points for effort and organization.

Bears fans not buying into Fox’s optimism for 2016 • MORRISSEY Continued from page B1 “I’m excited about working with him moving forward,” Fox said of his quarterback. That’s a tribute to Cutler for finally putting together a steady season in Chicago. It’s also a tribute to offensive coordinator Adam Gase, who helped wrestle it out of him. Gase very well could get an NFL head-coaching job for his efforts this season. Does Cutler expect to be back with the Bears? “I hope to be,” he said. “I want to be. I haven’t had conversations with Foxy or Ryan yet. We’ll see what the future holds.” He did throw three interceptions in the Bears’ 24-20 loss Sunday, but two of them came after he was hit while throwing and another came off a deflection. That’s how it works in the NFL. Cutler got lucky with dropped interceptions more than a few times this season. The football gods giveth and they taketh away. They were generous with him in 2015. Matt Forte probably won’t be back, which is too bad. He’s still the Bears’ best running back, and he’s still one of the best in the game. His only sin is that he’s a 30-year-old running back. The NFL sees 30 and sees a guy looking for daylight with the aid of a walker. But age hasn’t slowed Forte, the way it did Lance Briggs, Charles Tillman and Brian Urlacher. “He’s still got some stuff left in the tank,” Cutler said. Don’t be surprised if the Bears put the franchise tag on Jeffery, a gifted receiver who couldn’t stay healthy this season. Rookie Kevin White enhanced his appeal by missing the entire season, which is so very Bears. But if his surgically repaired shin holds up and he’s as good as the franchise thought he was when Pace took him with the seventh overall pick, that would give Cutler two top targets in 2016. This is all predicated on A) Cutler being back and B) the Cutler of 2015 being back. The Bears need an inside linebacker, a pass rusher or two and some defensive backs. And, as mentioned earlier, quite possibly an offensive coordinator. Pace has a lot more work to do than the head coach suggests. Even if Fox really does see a core on the Bears’ roster, he’d have to agree it’s not a core with which the Patriots, the Panthers or, gasp, the Packers would be happy. In the NFL, it’s possible to turn a 6-10 team into a winner the next season. But this will take some doing on the parts of Pace and Fox. If they choose to look at all the Bears’ close losses this season as a sign of a team about to turn it around, the franchise is not going to progress. If they recognize the talent deficit on their roster, the franchise has a chance in 2016. There were lots of empty seats Sunday at Soldier Field, which means lots of Bears fans aren’t buying Fox’s we’re-thisclose optimism. It’s football, and they know what forward progress is supposed to look like.

CROSSWORD

SUDOKU
TODAY - Your pragmatic way of looking at situations will make you the go-to person this year. Share your wisdom and you will be offered trust, loyalty and support in return. When it comes to personal investments, avoid joint ventures. Money matters are best kept to yourself. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- It’s time to present and promote your skills, pursuits and desires. Don’t be swayed by someone using emotional manipulation to get a piece of your action. Protect your assets. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- It’s up to you to bring about change. If you wait for someone else to make the first move, you’ll end up being left behind. Focus on forward motion and personal gain. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Participate in events that will bring you in contact with like-minded people. You’ll benefit if you collaborate to reach a shared goal. Don’t let relatives or friends put unrealistic demands on you. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Speak up, but don’t let anger dictate your words. A diplomatic, intelligent approach will bring better results. Make personal improvements instead of trying to change others. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Focus on the highest peak. It’s up to you to live up to the standards you set. Don’t worry about opposition. Listen to complaints and offer incentives to deter further setbacks. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Don’t let anyone interfere in your life. False information will lead to bad assumptions that will get you into trouble. Get the facts before making a move. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You should take part in interesting events and activities in order to find a new outlet for your stress. A partnership with a new acquaintance looks promising. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your ability to adapt readily to whatever is going on around you will attract attention from someone who shares your interests. Love is on the rise, but emotions will be difficult to control. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- What are you waiting for? Good things will transpire if you are willing to take the initiative and go after your goals. Network, set up meetings and get the ball rolling. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Your intellectual outlook will help you overcome any adversity you face. A day trip or time spent with someone who understands your needs will lead to positive change. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Focus on home, family and necessary upgrades. Emotional matters will surface. An innovative approach to solving personal problems will help you avoid a spat. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Be careful when dealing with colleagues or people who can hurt your reputation or cause you grief. Listen carefully and question anything that raises doubt or confusion.
