Good morning, McHenry County ...

The attack of Martian Red Colony Fever I don’t know if you’ve noticed it, but we earthlings are preparing to invade another planet.

Yep, outright interplanetary imperialistic colonialism.

Who will be the innocent victim of mankind’s intergalactic aggression? Well, I’m talking about Mars, the Red Planet, El Planeta Rojo, the solar body that, ironically, has been voted throughout history as “the planet most likely to attack the Earth.”

Preparations for this invasion have been ongoing since the early 1960s, when the first probes were sent to orbit Mars and observe it. One series of these orbiters was appropriately named, “Viking,” casting an ominous orbiting shadow of Dark Age pillaging upon the Martian landscape.

In 1975 a Viking Lander actually touched down upon the surface, heralding a new invasional phase. It’s mission: seek out the living inhabitants of this world, ascertain their location, calculate their numbers, assess their characteristics and evaluate their resources. Sounds a lot like Erik the Red scoping out an Anglo-Saxon settlement.

The Viking Lander was only the first of the terra firma robotic landings. Eventually more mobile rovers appeared, with names like Spirit and Opportunity and Curiosity, subtly camouflaging bellicose intentions with innocent nomenclature, as in, “Don’t worry, we’ve come because we’re just a little inquisitive.”

These rovers multiplied the capacity to discern climate and geology for the purpose of, get this, planetary habitability. Um, that’s space talk for, “Nice place you got here.”

At this point there are six operational orbiters and two surface rovers sending data back to prepare for 13 near-future inter-global Mars flights, culminating in manned missions by 2024 and the establishment of human colonies two years later. Trust me, this stuff is no rumor … it’s all over the internet!

So, OK, it’s official: The overt Earth invasion to conquer and colonize Mars will be eight years from now.

Now, I don’t want to ask a stupid ques-

WHERE IT’S AT

JUST HUMOR ME Michael Penkava tion, but I was just kinda wondering why. … Why do we want to grab another planet when caring for this one appears to be more than we can handle?

I understand the “Because it’s there” concept. That’s why I can’t pass the fridge on my way to the family room. Yes, there is something quite daunting about grasping for what we cannot reach: Mount Everest, the North Pole, the Mariana Trench, a parking space near the door at Best Buy. So, I can see the need to go boldly where no man has gone before; a natural, intrinsic yearning to touch the immaculate unknown.

But, alas, that pure incentive to reach Mars has been corrupted into a sort of interstellar Manifest Destiny. Let me explain …

It appears that reaching the Red Planet has been transformed from a great adventure to, as one scientist put it, “an insurance mechanism for our species.” In other words, we are wrecking this planet, so we’d better find another one before it’s too late. Enter Mars, mankind’s lifeboat in space.

I once had a conversation with Robert Zubrin, an aerospace engineer, former president of the National Space Society and founder of the Mars Society. I asked him what are we really looking for as we send our probes into outer space. He thought for a moment, and then replied with one word: truth. I looked at him and said, “Wouldn’t it be ironic if we searched the universe for truth and wound up finding it in our own backyard?”

Sure, you can go to Mars. Because it’s there. But maybe we should save what we have.

Because it’s here.

PARCELL CHRISTMAS DISPLAY

The North Pole returns to radiant life in its 20th year at the Parcell family home in Geneva through New Year’s Eve. For the past 13 years, the display, with its polar bears and penguins, has included an official drop-off point for the Marine Toys for Tots, and the family’s event website at twasthenightbefore.com notes a total of almost 5,000 toys has been collected for Fox Valley kids in need.

The display is open from 5 to 10 p.m. daily at 813 Cheever Ave., and lights are synchronized to thoughtfully selected music broadcast at 88.5-FM. Look for the virtual Santa in one of the house windows until Christmas Eve, and check out the live webcam feed.

D-156 students wrap hundreds of presents for families in need

nlinhart@shawmedia.com McHENRY – More than 200 members of McHenry High School West’s Key Club wrapped about 800 Christmas gifts Wednesday night for children less fortunate.

“The gifts were purchased and donated by the Key Club members, themselves,” said Emma Theel, McHenry High School District 156 math teacher and Key Club adviser.

Theel said every year the Key Club adopts families to help out, and this year the families were from the Pioneer Center of McHenry County and Rosecrance McHenry County.

“So we adopted 92 families this year and bought Christmas gifts for them, which the students spent an hour wrapping,” Theel said. “It was just great seeing them help out the community like this around Christmas time.”

The Key Club is a community service group affiliated with the Kiwanis International High School Program. The West Campus’ Key Club members help with community service projects all over McHenry County.

“About one out of every four students at the West Campus is a Key Club member, which is insane,” Theel said. “We’ll do more than 250 projects this school year and probably more than 7,000 to 8,000 service hours that the group does as a whole.”

LOCAL BRIEF

District 47 to discuss proposed tax levy on Monday

CRYSTAL LAKE – The Crystal Lake Elementary District 47 Board of Education will vote on a 2016 proposed tax levy at its next board meeting on Monday.

During the board’s Nov. 21 meeting, board members unanimously voted to adopt a tentative tax levy. The district’s proposed tax levy amount for 2016 represents a 5.6 percent increase over the 2015 tax levy for all funds, which includes capped funds and debt service, according to the district. However, it does not reflect a proposed abatement.

The District 47 Board approved a tax abatement in 2015 that amounted to $1

million from the district’s debt service levy.

The abatement amount helped keep the portion of a homeowner’s property taxes relatively flat in 2016 when compared to the previous year, according to the district.

This year, another abatement in the same amount is being proposed. If approved, the abatement would reduce the tax levy’s total amount by the reduced amount.

The District 47 Board is expected to vote on the proposed tax levy and abatement at the next Board of Education meeting, which is scheduled to take place 7 p.m. Monday. The meeting will be at Bernotas Middle School, 170 N. Oak St., Crystal Lake.

CRYSTAL LAKE – School was in session Friday at Lundahl Middle School in Crystal Lake despite a “concerning social media post” circulating Thursday.

Principal Angie Compere sent an email to parents and guardians of students Thursday evening, making them aware of the alleged social media post and alerting them that school would be in session Friday. She said the school worked closely with the Crystal Lake Police Department.

“Through their investigation, we’ve been able to determine that this is not a credible threat, and that there is no safety risk to our students or staff,” Compere wrote in the email.

Compere sent a second email to parents to clarify some matters on Friday.

In the email, she said a student made a social media post that left other students concerned that the student might harm kids at school or harm him or herself.

“Through their investigation, we’ve been able to determine that this is not a credible threat, and that there is no safety risk to our students or staff.”

prosecutors said.

Tonsul took photos of the victim partially clothed, and made a video recording of himself sexually assaulting the victim, prosecutors said.

Police were notified of the assault after the victim told a family member, the release stated.

“This victim has shown remarkable bravery in reporting her attack and confronting Mr. Tonsul about it,” Kane County State’s Attorney Joe McMahon

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Share your differences. Look for ways to incorporate change that will appease everyone, including you. Maintaining equality will be what leads to positive results and a better future.

OBITUARIES KATHLEEN A. GENTES Born: October 22, 1940 Died: November 11, 2016

Kathleen A. Gentes, 76, of Algonquin died November 11, 2016 at Adventist Medical Center Glen Oaks in Glendale Heights, IL. A Luncheon in Kathleen’s honor will take place at noon on Sunday, December 11th at the Cary United Methodist Church (500 N. 1st Street, Cary, IL) followed by a Memorial Service at 1:30 pm.

Both the Luncheon and Memorial Service are open to the public.

In lieu of flowers the family suggests memorials be directed to Cary United Methodist Church.

Kathleen was born October 22, 1940 in Normal, IL. She was the daughter of Ervin and WIlda (Myer) Gentes. Her parents, niece (Karen Augspurger) and nephew-inlaw (John Brandt) preceded her in death.

She is survived by her sister, Elaine (Fred) Rhoda of Chenoa; her brother, Robert (Ethel) Gentes of Lexington; nieces, Diane Brandt and Julie Brennan; and nephew, Mike Gentes; as well as six great nieces and nephews; and one special great niece, Angie Brandt.

Kathleen was the valedictorian of her 1958 graduating class at Chenoa High School and received her B.S. from Illinois State University in 1962. While at Illinois State, Kathleen participated in numerous musical ensembles including the Madrigal Choir. She later received a Master’s in Music Education from Indiana University Bloomington. Kathleen taught in Cary School District 26 as a music teacher for seventeen years and as a classroom teacher for an additional 20.

In addition to her career as a school teacher, Kathleen was the Music Director of Cary United Methodist Church for 52 years where she also served as Church Historian.

She enjoyed writing, researching genealogy and directing the Chancel and Handbell Choirs at the church in Cary. Kathleen had a servant’s heart, and her warm caring spirit will be missed by all who knew and loved her.

JANE F. GUSE

Born: May 16, 1932; in Plymouth Twp., WI Died: December 8, 2016; in Crystal Lake, IL Jane F. (Kinna) Guse passed away on the 8th of December. It’s always hard to say goodbye to one’s mother, but especially

hard when your mother was “Mother Goose.”

She was born on May 16th 1932, the third daughter of John and Mildred Kinna of Footville Wisconsin. She grew up on the family farm with her grandparents, parents, sisters and younger brother. Her passion was reading and it served her well as she graduated valedictorian of her high school.

From there, she held a few jobs while she figured where her future would take her.

In 1955, it took her into the arms of the love of her life, Elmer Guse, the man she would wed on the 20th of October 1956.

Their honeymoon was a picturesque trip through the Smokey Mountains down to New Orleans, where they wined and dined through Arnaud’s, Tujague’s, Antoine’s, the beginning of a beautiful journey. They then moved to Aurora Illinois and quickly started a family, having three boys in three years. They then moved to Crystal Lake where they immediately added a fourth son, a daughter and a final son. With the clan complete, surrounded by dear and lifelong friends, they lived their lives in the same house for 54 years. Our mother was a loving woman. She instilled her passion of reading into all her children, her cookies were both delicious and lucrative when trading at school. The neighborhood children congregated in her living room every

morning before school, during the week to play games or watch TV, and she loved every minute of it. A very special person has passed, and though we are sad for our loss, we rejoice that her pain is over and she now has everlasting life in the presence of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Her husband, Elmer and son, Timothy preceded her to the Lord.

She is survived by beloved brother, John (Irene) Kinna; her children, Christopher (Cathie) Guse, Steven (June) Guse, James (Angela) Guse, Ann (George) Marcus, Matthew (Cristy) Guse, Lisa Guse and Ame Guse; her loving niece, Mary Ellen O’Leary; 13 grandchildren; and seven great grandchildren.

Visitation will be from 4:00 to 7:00pm on Monday, December 12 at Querhammer & Flagg Funeral Home, 500 W. Terra Cotta Ave., Crystal Lake. Visitation will continue from 9:30am to 10:00am prayers on Tuesday, December 13 at the funeral home.

We will go in procession for the 10:30am funeral Mass at St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church. Interment will follow in Crystal Lake Memorial Park.

85-year-old woman still hunting deer

By STAN POLANSKI Effingham Daily News

NEOGA – During every hunting season since 1958, Doris McKay, 85, of Neoga, has ventured into the woods in search of deer.

This year at the end of deer hunting season she was to continue doing what she loves, carrying the same gun she’s used for 60 years.

“I’m not going to sit in the house and knit,” McKay said. “I’ve always been an outside person. If the weather’s good, I may stay out there all day.”

The only deer season McKay has missed was in 1957, when deer hunting first became legal in Illinois. She would have participated, only she was busy giving birth to a baby boy at the time.

While at her property at Lake Mattoon, McKay almost looked ready to knit something. She wore an unassuming gray sweater, with pink hearts and green leaves stitched in.

But the nearby pictures of her next to deer she had shot told another story. And it’s an uncommon one, McKay said, because not many 85-year-old women wield shotguns.

“I don’t know of any that do,” she said.

On her wall hang deer heads. One in particular makes her proud.

Anti-abortion medical providers argue against law

ROCKFORD – Health care providers in northern Illinois who object to abortion are asking for a preliminary injunction against a state law that requires them to provide information or referrals to patients seeking the procedure.

The group filed a lawsuit against Gov. Bruce Rauner and other state officials in August after a state law was amended in July to include the new requirements, the Rockford Register Star reported. The amended law is slated to take effect Jan. 1.

The group is asking for a preliminary injunction to prevent the state from penalizing doctors and medical staff who cite their objection to abortion as the

The venison seems to have improved in taste, McKay said, because the deer have better diets these days.

“They’ve got the best food in the country,” she said. “This past year, it was some of the best venison I’ve ever eaten.”

After the first part of this hunting season, McKay didn’t get a deer. But she was hopeful Wednesday that she’d shoot one down on Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday.

“Sometimes you get one, sometimes you don’t,” she said.

If she spends an entire day or weekend in the woods with nothing to show, McKay doesn’t consider it wasted time.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Dylann Roof laughed during confession to FBI

CHARLESTON, S.C. – Dylann Roof wanted the world to know he hated black people and thought they were criminals. He thought about attacking drug dealers, but they might shoot back. So, he told the FBI, he picked a historic black church in Charleston he had learned about online.

In a videotaped confession shown Friday during his death penalty trial, Roof laughed several times and made exaggerated gun motions as he recounted the massacre. He explained that he wanted to leave at least one person alive to tell what happened and complained that his victims “complicated things” when they hid under tables.

Forty-five minutes into the interview, an FBI agent decided to tell him nine people died in the June 17, 2015, shootings at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church.

“There wasn’t even that many people in there,” Roof said incredulously. “Are you lying to me?”

Roof’s lawyers have conceded that he carried out the attack and are concentrating on convincing jurors to spare his life in the second phase of the trial.

Trump returns to campaign trail in Louisiana, Michigan

By KEN THOMAS

The Associated Press GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – Appearing jovial and relaxed, Donald Trump plunged back into election politics Friday, a full month after he won the presidency, thanking Michigan voters and prodding Louisiana Republicans to turn out for Saturday’s Senate runoff election.

Trump regaled supporters in Grand Rapids with a lengthy recitation of his victories in a string of battleground states, including Michigan, which had not previously backed a Republican presidential candidate since 1988.

“They forgot about you people,” Trump said of his Democratic opponents. “In four years they’re not going to forget. But it’s not going to work because you’re not going to forget.”

Several protesters were removed from his rally at DeltaPlex Arena, prompting the president-elect to declare at one point, “Get ’em out of here.”

Trump introduced Betsy DeVos, his choice for education secretary, who hails from West Michigan, and announced that Andrew Liveris, the chief executive of Dow Chemical, would lead a national manufacturing council.

Liveris told the audience that Dow would soon bring a new research-and-development center to Michigan.

In Louisiana, the incoming president addressed a large crowd at an airport hangar, and at one point tossed his trademark “Make America Great Again” hat to a supporter. He noted that he’d been named Time’s “Person of the Year” and asked the crowd if the magazine should go back to its former “Man of the Year.”

Gauging the boisterous response, he declared the answer was yes.

Trump campaigned for Republican John Kennedy, the state treasurer who faces off Saturday against Public Service Commissioner

Foster Campbell, a Democrat, for the seat of retiring Republican Sen. David Vitter. Neither won a majority in the November primary, leading to the runoff. Polls have shown Kennedy with a comfortable lead.

While candidate Trump was often at odds with the establishment wing of his party, the incoming president has been broadly supported by GOP leaders since the election. And he is trying to consolidate any lingering factions, most immediately in Louisiana, where a victory by Kennedy would cement the party’s fourseat advantage in the new Senate.

“We need John in Washington,” Trump said, speaking in front of a lectern that urged voters to “Geaux Vote. Vote GOP.” Trump said he needed Kennedy to help him enact his agenda.

In private, people close to Trump said he was expected to name yet another Goldman Sachs executive to his White House team. The president-elect’s National Economic Council is to be led by Gary Cohn, president and chief operating officer of the Wall Street bank, which Trump repeatedly complained during the election campaign would control Hillary Clinton if she won.

Washington state Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, a member of the GOP House leadership team, emerged as a leading candidate to head the Interior Department, according to a person involved in the transition.

Major decisions remain for Trump, most importantly his choice for secretary of state. The deliberations have become a source of tension within his transition team, with chief of staff Reince Priebus said to be backing Mitt Romney while other advisers oppose the idea of selecting the 2012 GOP nominee, given his fierce criticism of Trump during the campaign.

Trump announced that Rudy Giuliani, the former New York mayor who was an early favorite, was no longer under consideration.

Obama orders review of election-season hacking

By KATHLEEN HENNESSEY The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama has ordered intelligence officials to conduct a broad review of election-season cyberattacks, including the email hacks that rattled the presidential campaign and raised fresh concerns about Russia’s meddling in U.S. elections, the White House said Friday.

The review, led by intelligence agencies, will be a “deep dive” into a possible pattern of increased “malicious cyber activity” timed to the campaign season, White House spokesman Eric Schultz said. The review will look at the tactics, targets, key actors and the U.S. government’s response to the recent email hacks, as well as incidents reported in past elections, he said.

The president ordered up the report earlier this week and asked that it be completed before he leaves office next month, Schultz said.

“The president wanted this done under his watch, because he takes it very seriously,” he said. “We are committed to ensuring the integrity of our elections.”

U.S. intelligence officials accused Russia of hacking into Democratic of-

ficials’ email accounts in an attempt to interfere with the presidential campaign. The Kremlin rejected the accusations.

In the months leading up to the election, email accounts of Democratic Party officials and a top Hillary Clinton campaign aide were breached, emails leaked and embarrassing and private emails posted online. Many Democrats believe the hackings benefited Republican Donald Trump’s bid.

Trump has downplayed the possibility that Russia was involved.

Schultz said the president sought the probe as a way of improving U.S. defense against cyberattacks and was not intending to question the legitimacy of Trump’s victory.

“This is not an effort to challenge the outcome of the election,” Schultz said.

Obama’s move comes as Democratic lawmakers have been pushing Obama

to declassify more information about Russia’s role, fearing that Trump, who has promised a warmer relationship with Moscow, may not prioritize the issue.

Given Trump’s statements, “there is an added urgency to the need for a thorough review before President Obama leaves office next month,” said Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., senior Democrat on the House intelligence committee. If the administration doesn’t respond “forcefully” to such actions, “we can expect to see a lot more of this in the near future,” he said.

The White House said it would make portions of the report public and would brief lawmakers and relevant state officials on the findings.

It emphasized the report would not focus solely on Russian operations or hacks involving Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta and Democratic National Committee accounts.

Schultz stressed officials would be reviewing incidents going back to the 2008 presidential campaign, when the campaigns of Sen. John McCain and Obama were breached by hackers.

Intelligence officials have said Obama and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney were targets of Chinese cyberattacks four years later.

And the anti-cancer network is concerned that protection for people with pre-existing health conditions might be undermined or lost. Before the Affordable Care Act, it was common for insurers to deny coverage to people with a cancer diagnosis, even if successfully treated, or to charge them more. Also, uninsured people with cancer are more likely to be diagnosed late, when there’s less chance of a cure.

“Replacement health care legislation

that accompanies repeal needs to provide recognized patient protections that currently exist,” said Chris Hansen, the group’s president, in a statement.

Republicans say they remain resolute in their determination to repeal “Obamacare,” but some also seem mindful of the potential political risks.

The basic plan under GOP consideration involves repealing the health law next year, but delaying the effective date to allow Congress time to pass

WASHINGTON – One by one, key health care industry groups are telling the incoming Republican administration and Congress that it’s not a good idea to repeal the 2010 health care law without clear plans to address the consequences.

Hospitals, insurers and actuaries – bean-counters who make long-range economic estimates – weighed in recently, and more interest groups are expected to make their views known soon. Representing patients, the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network reminded lawmakers that lives are at stake.

The concerns go beyond the obvious potential hardship for 20 million people covered by subsidized private insurance and expanded Medicaid under President Barack Obama’s signature law. Hospitals say a stand-alone repeal would cost them billions, compromising their ability to serve local communities. Insurers say Congress must be careful not to create even more uncertainty and instability. Actuaries worry that the mere promise of an eventual replacement won’t be enough to sustain the individual health insurance market.

a replacement. That replacement presumably would do many of the things the Affordable Care Act does, such as subsidizing coverage and protecting people in poor health, but with less government regulation and without the unpopular “individual mandate” for most Americans to have coverage or risk fines.

However, replacement legislation that covers a comparable number of people would still require billions in government financing and extensive regulations, a stumbling block for the most conservative Republicans.

The path forward is complicated by the dynamics of the 2016 political campaign, which centered on personalities rather than policy. President-elect Donald Trump promised to repeal “Obamacare,” but his ideas for a replacement plan were more talking points than an actual plan.

“Public opinion seems to be shifting,” said John Rother, president of the National Coalition on Health Care, an umbrella organization that includes doctors, businesses, unions, and religious groups. “It’s not clear when people say they want to ‘repeal,’ what they mean by that. It may mean they just want to get rid of the individual mandate.”

OUR VIEW

Remembering Pearl Harbor Thumbs up: To remembering Pearl Harbor. The Japanese sneak attack on the American air and naval bases on Oahu on Dec. 7, 1941, was a critical point in the 20th century. About 2,400 Americans were killed in the attack that drew the United States into World War II, and more than 400,000 would die in the conflict that followed. On Wednesday, thousands of people gathered at Pearl Harbor to mark the exact moment at 7:55 a.m. Hawaii time 75 years ago when the attack started. We are lucky that area survivors including Burton Miller, who was 20 and stationed on Oahu during the attack, still can share their stories with us. All of us who enjoy the freedoms of America today owe a debt of gratitude for the sacrifices of the World War II generation.

Thumbs down: To another state budget crisis.

With the stopgap spending plan state leaders approved earlier this year set to expire on Dec. 31, it appears almost certain that Illinois state government will once again have no budget when 2017 begins, leaving social service and other agencies again without funding or in danger of losing it. The essential disagreement remains: Gov. Bruce Rauner wants Democrats to agree to pro-business legislation, a property-tax freeze and term limits as part of a budget bargain, while Democrats say those items have nothing to do with a budget and refuse to consider them. While their standoff drags on, the losers are the citizens of Illinois as the state’s financial system continues to worsen.

Thumbs up: To McHenry County prosecutors for dismissing the remaining forgery charge against former county coroner Marlene Lantz with prejudice, ending the criminal case against her. At the time she was charged in 2015, we wrote that it was difficult to ignore the bitter politics that may have been associated with Lantz being indicted on official misconduct and forgery charges. Thankfully, new State’s Attorney Patrick Kenneally did what he could shortly after taking office to spare county residents from whatever was remaining in a legal battle with heavy political overtones.

Thumbs down: To the growing popularity of potentially harmful e-cigarettes. In a report being released Thursday, Surgeon General Vivek Murthy acknowledged a need for more research into the health effects of “vaping,” but said e-cigarettes aren’t harmless and too many teens are using them.

E-cigarettes may not create the tar that traditional cigarettes do, but they do have the potential to create new nicotine addicts. It’s important that young people not be fooled into thinking that e-cigarettes are a safe way to consume nicotine.

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Merkel wrong to call for veil ban

In a speech to her party this week, Chancellor Angela Merkel said that Germany, “wherever legally possible,” ought to ban veils that cover the face, and emphasized that German law should not give way to Shariah law.

Her audience cheered – but that only confirmed Merkel’s mistake. Pandering to grievances, real or imagined, rarely works. Sometimes it’s meant to soothe such feelings, as it presumably was in this case. Usually, though, it inflames them and makes matters worse.

There’s no denying the stresses caused by the recent wave of refugees arriving in Germany.

Successful immigration requires a high degree of absorption and assimilation, and that’s a challenge when the influx is large or abrupt. Merkel, acting in the spirit of compassion and generosity, had earlier announced something close to an open-door policy. The backlash

was predictable.

Now, elections are coming up in Germany, and Merkel rightly wants to deny support to the far-right AfD party, whose anti-immigrant thinking is driven not by prudence but by outright racism. In response, Merkel’s newly hardened position is both weak on the merits and plain bad tactics.

It’s weak because the fullface veil is not much seen in Germany – and who’s actually claiming that Shariah law should overrule German law?

The effect of her statement is not to encourage assimilation, but merely to convey sympathy with the anti-immigrant worldview.

Hence, bad tactics: Flattering such thinking is no way to overcome it. She’s as good as conceding that the AfD has a point.

Instead, Merkel should say that future inflows of immigrants will be regulated more cautiously, and that adequate

resources for managing and accepting the arrivals will be made available. She shouldn’t make light of the difficulties, as she did initially. At the same time, though, she should insist that the migrants who have already arrived ought not to be frowned upon or treated with disrespect.

They will follow the law, and be welcomed as neighbors; they’ll be expected to be good neighbors in return. But with only limited exceptions (for instance, proof of identity during security checks), religious belief and customs remain matters of private conscience, not the concern of the state.

Merkel has been a strong and compassionate leader of Germany and the European Union.

No better candidate for the role has yet to come forward. Which makes it all the more disappointing to see her respond to anti-Muslim sentiment this way.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Homer Hickam

Special to The Washington Post

he really didn’t want to talk about President Kennedy, and so I changed the subject. Decades later, it seemed, the assassination of the young, charismatic president who was also his friend still caused him some discomfort and pain.

Glenn’s 1962 Mercury flight was fraught with dramatics, from his “Zero G and I feel fine!” exultation upon entering orbit to his reentry with what was feared was a faulty heat shield. After he safely splashed down, the nation erupted with applause and gratitude not seen since Charles Lindbergh’s solo flight across the Atlantic. Swept into the Kennedy lifestyle, and all but made a member of the family, he was left dangling when JFK was killed and Lyndon Johnson, no friend of Kennedy friends, took over. His astronaut career over, it was only a few months after the assassination that Glenn announced a run for the Senate, apparently honoring a promise to help keep alive the New Frontier. He failed twice but kept trying, and finally made it in 1974.

But by then, the Kennedy optimism had been swept aside by Vietnam and Watergate, and Glenn the politician was unable to awaken

within himself the passion and dedication he had shown as an astronaut, or to connect anew with the American people. His reputation suffered terribly in the Keating Savings and Loan scandal, when, although cleared of lawbreaking, he was reprimanded by the Senate for “poor judgment.”

During those decades, he seemed a stranger in a strange land, a colorless man important only as a reliable vote for the Democrats in Congress.

Mark Twain famously said that God looks after fools, drunks and the United States of America. Add to that somewhat tongue-in-cheek maxim a certain American hero named John Glenn. Trudging along for years as a dispassionate politician, he caught fire again when he got it into his head to fly aboard the Space Shuttle in 1998. By all accounts, once he secured a seat, he gloried in every second of the training and his days in space.

It is my hope that during that time, the optimism of the New Frontier returned to Glenn’s life. For the spirit he gave a beleaguered nation so long ago, it was the least we Americans could do for him.

IT’S YOUR WRITE No raucous caucus

To the Editor: I went to the McHenry Township Republican caucus the other night because I support Steve Koerber for Highway Commissioner. I was hoping to see and hear from the slate that is running against him. I had never been to a caucus before and I was excited because I was told it might be a raucous caucus. I was disappointed when all of the “private club” candidates that I had heard about didn’t show up.

The people around me knew more about these political things than I do and I learned a lot listening to them.

The thing that surprised me the most was the assumption that the incumbent Republican office holders in our township will leave the Republican Party and run as independents.

The head of the slate that Koerber is running with, supervisor candidate Steve Verr, announced that he was going to immediately, if elected, begin the process to slash the supervisor’s salary by 80 percent because it was really only a part-time job.

I guess the incumbents who enjoy

the big salaries realized that they couldn’t win their party’s endorsement running against a platform with such dramatic cost-saving initiatives that they will leave the party and use the township newsletters and propaganda machine over the winter to keep their name out there and win anyway.

I saw anti-township activist Bob Anderson for the first time and he’s not what I expected. He’s maybe not the kook that I thought he was. I’m starting to see what he’s against.

Questionable contributions

We’ve lost the last of the Mercury Seven astronauts, the prodigious test pilots chosen to be the first Americans to fly into space. In the 1960s, nearly every American youth could list them: Shepard, Grissom, Glenn, Carpenter, Schirra, Cooper and Slayton. Only Gus Grissom would die with his spacesuit on (during the Apollo program), but all were heroically willing to go into the unknown –not for themselves, not for scientific purposes, but for us, the American people, made fearful by a strutting Soviet Union not only armed to the teeth with nuclear weapons but also clearly intent on carrying its hammer-and-sickle philosophy to the moon and beyond. It was a scary time for Americans, but the Mercury men, with their swagger and big grins, projected a confidence that we could share. We reveled in their boldness, not to mention (especially for us boys) their fondness for gorgeous women, hot cars and speed.

Ironically, John Glenn, the Mercury astronaut most Americans can still name, was the quiet one. He was strong and steady and never in any

manner outlandish. He touched us in a different way. There was something about that balding, red-headed Marine with his lopsided smile that just made people love him. It seemed to those of us following the space race back then that everything Glenn did, his Midwestern, “aw shucks” manner of speech, his obvious love for and dedication to his wife, Annie, even his daily jogs along the Cape Canaveral beach, was pure and wholesomely American. The Kennedy administration instantly picked up on his popularity and made him and Annie regulars at the White House and Hyannis Port, where Jack and Jackie treated them like old friends.

Once, in 2004, while I was on a book tour in Ohio, a mutual friend in Columbus organized a dinner for me and the Glenns. I was placed across from Glenn and found him to be cordial and courtly, but somewhat shy. He warmed up a little when we shared tales of our boyhood, his in Ohio, mine next door in West Virginia. I had chanced upon and spoken to Kennedy when he was running in the 1960 West Virginia presidential primary, but when I told Glenn about the encounter, he winced. He fumbled a response, but I could tell

Coca-Cola names Quincey as next CEO

Muhtar Kent stays as company’s chairman

By JOSEPH PISANI

The Associated Press NEW YORK – Coca-Cola CEO Muhtar Kent will step down from that role next year and be succeeded by the company’s No. 2 executive, at a time when people are drinking less sugary soda including its flagship Coke drink.

Chief Operating Officer James Quincey, long expected to become the next CEO, will take over leadership of the world’s largest beverage maker May 1, the company said Friday. Kent will remain as chairman of the board.

Quincey, who’s worked at Coca-Cola for about two decades, has led its drive to cut down the sugar in its drinks and said Friday that he’ll continue to do that as CEO. He also said he’ll keep pushing for more low-calorie beverages and for offering soda in smaller cans and bottles.

He said he wants to “stay relevant” with customers by continuing to “digitize” the business, selling Coca-Cola’s drinks online, through food delivery companies and any other platform customers go to in the future.

“The iPhone didn’t exist when Muhtar became CEO,” Quincey said.

The Atlanta-based company has been diversifying its drinks to try to adapt to changing tastes. U.S. sales volume for regular Coke is down 14 per-

So last year Coca-Cola rolled out nationwide a milk drink called Fairlife that it said had more protein and less sugar than regular milk. It also makes Sprite, Fanta and Dasani water, and has invested in options like bottled teas that have bigger growth potential.

The company is in the midst of selling off its bottling businesses to independent companies who will handle the

bottling of sodas and its other drinks.

This means less revenue, but fewer costs, for Coca-Cola as it focuses on selling syrups and concentrates to the bottlers as well as expanding its brands.

Coca-Cola’s annual revenue has fallen in the past four years and Wall Street analysts expect revenue for the current year to fall about 5 percent from the year before. In October, the company said its third-quarter profit fell 28 percent.

Quincey, 51, spent much of his career with the company in Latin Amer-

ica and was named president and chief operating officer last year. Wall Street analysts said they had expected Quincey to be promoted to the top job, but some thought it would be announced early next year.

Analysts at Stifel said “job one” for Quincey is to improve revenue growth.

Shares of The Coca-Cola Co. rose $1.06, or 2.6 percent, to $42.04 in afternoon trading Friday.

Kent, 64, will continue as chairman of the board after he steps down as CEO. He has been CEO for more than eight years and first joined the company nearly 40 years ago.

Coca-Cola is the second beverage company to announce a CEO change in the past several days. Last week, Starbucks Corp. said Howard Schultz will step down as CEO next year and stay on as the coffee chain’s executive chairman.

Change is also coming to Coca-Cola’s board. It had said Thursday that Howard Buffett, the son of billionaire investor Warren Buffett, would retire from the board and not seek re-election next year. Analysts at Bernstein were concerned it could signal that Warren Buffett, whose holding company Berkshire Hathaway Inc. is Coca-Cola’s largest shareholder, could sell Coke stock.

Warren Buffett didn’t mention his stake Friday but said he was pleased with the CEO succession plans.

“I know James and like him,” Buffett said in a statement, “and believe the company has made a smart investment in its future with his selection.”

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT SATURDAY, DECEMBER 10, 2016

A one-off election edition episode of “Will & Grace” may have sparked interest in a revival of the NBC series.

The original cast reunited for a 10-minute episode released online in September that urged voters to back Hillary Clinton in the presidential election. The episode has been viewed more than 6.5 million times since.

Megan Mullally, who starred as Karen in the series, tells PrideSource that “there is a very good chance” that new episodes of the series “might happen.” She says Donald Trump’s win in the presidential election means that “it couldn’t be a better time” for the return of a series that included two openly gay principal characters.

Madonna attends the 11th annual Billboard Women in Music honors Friday at Pier 36 in New York. Billboard Women in Music 2016 will air Monday on Lifetime.

Madonna, Kesha get emotional when accepting Billboard honors NEW YORK – The annual Billboard Women In Music event featured emotional and heartfelt speeches about the uphill battles women face in the music industry, including personal stories from top honoree Madonna and pop singer Kesha.

The Material Girl, named woman of the year Friday, was passionate as she spoke onstage in New York about being raped at knifepoint, battling critics, and being called words like “whore,” ‘’witch” and “Satan” throughout her career.

“I remember feeling paralyzed. It took me a while to pull myself together and get on with my creative life – to get on with my life. I took comfort in the poetry of Maya Angelou, and the writings of James Baldwin, and in the music of Nina Simone. I remember wishing that I had a female peer that I could look to for support,” 58-year-old Madonna said at Pier 36, where the audience included fellow honoree Shania Twain, Nick Jonas, Anderson Cooper and dozens of music industry executives.

“People say that I’m so controversial, but I think the most controversial thing I have ever done is to stick around,” Madonna said at another point. “Michael is gone. Tupac is gone. Prince is gone. Whitney is gone. Amy Winehouse is gone. David Bowie is gone. But I’m still standing,” Cooper introduced Madonna, his friend, with touching words.

“For me as a gay teenager growing up, her music wasn’t just a soundtrack to my life, her music and her outspokenness, her willingness to stand up, her courage – it showed me as a teenager a way forward, a pathway,” he said.

The event also paid tribute to platinum-selling singer Kesha – who is currently in a legal battle with her former mentor and producer Dr. Luke – with its trailblazer award.

KITCHEN

Trends and innovations for 2017

By MELISSA RAYWORTH • The Associated Press Americans briefly scaled back the scope of home renovation projects after the recession began nearly a decade ago, says interior designer and “HGTV Design Star” judge Vern Yip. But even during the peak of that focus on smaller, more sustainable living, the size and complexity of kitchen designs continued to grow.

“The kitchen is the heart of the home,” Yip said, and people see it as good place to spend money and recoup the investment when they sell their home.

What’s trending in kitchen design as 2017 approaches? We’ve asked Yip and two other interior design experts – Caleb Anderson, co-founder of the New York-based design firm Drake/Anderson, and Brian Patrick Flynn, interior designer for HGTV’s Urban Oasis 2016 home giveaway – to share their favorite innovations and thoughts on which trending design choices will stand the test of time.

Think black and white

Black and white are the trendiest colors now for kitchen design, and Flynn points out they’re also timeless. A black and white palette works with virtually any accent color, he says, so “if you go black and white, you really only have to spend once.”

Right now, “black appliances with more of a matte finish” are among Flynn’s favorites.

Yip says cabinets in both black and white are popular, and look great mixed together.

That’s another trend all three designers are seeing: upper and lower cabinets done in different finishes and materials.

Anderson recently designed a kitchen in London that has upper cabinets made of metal and glass, with lower cabinets made of cerused wood. “They need to complement each other,” he said, “but everything doesn’t have to match.”

Put a personal stamp on the room

Anderson also notes it’s popular to design a kitchen island out of different materials than the cabinets and countertops. That puts a personal stamp on the room, especially if you make your island out of a distinctive piece of furniture, like a vintage cabinet.

By using popular materials in unique ways, you can design a kitchen that feels current but won’t look dated as trends change. Flynn is fan of that approach: For HGTV’s Urban Oasis giveaway house this year, he chose a reflective, black marble mosaic tile for the kitchen walls, from the counter all

way to update the kitchen without having to change the cabinets.

You also can bring in a light fixture with a metal that’s different from your cabinet hardware. Yip is seeing many clients opting to splurge on dramatic lighting in the kitchen, rather than in the dining room.

“The old way of thinking is you spend thousands of dollars on the crystal chandelier over the dining table, but lighting over the kitchen was practical,” he said. Now, there’s more emphasis on kitchen lighting “that doesn’t feel functional but has a really polished aesthetic quality.”

Tech isn’t an afterthought

Black and white is a great choice for a kitchen color scheme because any accent color can blend in well. In this kitchen designed by Brian Patrick Flynn for the HGTV Urban Oasis 2016 giveaway, bright blue dishes and towels liven up the space. the way up to the ceiling. The look is on-trend, but has a classic beauty that won’t need renovating in a few years.

He also used concrete for the countertops, a popular option now but one with a classic simplicity. Along with concrete, Anderson and Yip says quartz countertops are popular. Quartz is more durable than marble, which easily can stain, and more consistent in color throughout a large slab.

Textured and colored glass is another way to jump on a trend in ways that reflect your own style, Anderson said.

He’s seeing glass used to surround the hoods above stoves, for backsplashes and as cabinet fronts.

Mix your metals

Gold, brass and other yellow-toned metal finishes have been popular for several years, Yip said, and now white metal finishes such as chrome, pewter and stainless steel are catching on too.

Anderson recently used a mix of black and steel finishes in one kitchen, along with brass.

All three designers suggest going with your favorites and feeling free to mix and match.

“The hardware in your kitchen is sort of like the jewelry,” and you can have fun adding that bit of bling, Yip said. Changing your hardware is a nice

Flynn used a wifi-enabled oven (easily controlled from a smartphone) in the Urban Oasis house, as well as a refrigerator equipped with cameras accessible from a digital app, so you can see what you have inside it.

“While you are out, you can decide on the fly what to buy and bring home to be stocked up for dinner,” he said.

Smaller appliances are a priority for many homeowners. “People tend to clutter their countertops with small appliances or put them in the cabinet and have to pull them out,” Anderson said. So designers now routinely figure in storage space where small appliances can be concealed but easily accessed.

Also, Anderson said, “Clients have so many devices, smart devices,” they need “an area in the kitchen that’s devoted to USB ports and chargers.”

fertilizing and harvesting procedures. In addition, my other concern is sharing the benefits of composting with our clients as a way to enrich the soil and recycle items traditionally thrown in the garbage.

I enjoy many aspects of Master Gardening, including working in the Demonstration Garden and the greenhouse at McHenry County College and the herb garden at the Algonquin/Lake in the Hills food pantry, educating children at the Crystal Lake Library about composting and participating in projects, such as the annual Garden Walk. It’s also fun to work in the MG office answering clients’ questions on our phone line.

What tips do you have for someone who is just getting started, either with their own garden or in training to become a Master Gardener?

Educate yourself on gardening practices by reading and talking with other gardeners, attend the GardenFest in April at McHenry County College, and don’t be afraid to ask questions if you’re experiencing challenges in your gardening efforts. Gardeners like to talk about gardening; in my experience, there are many newcomers to gardening who you can learn with as well as many veterans in groups like the Master Gardeners who are happy to talk about their craft. Start small and try some vegetables you enjoy eating; you’ll be amazed at how much better they are when they come from soil to table from your own plot!

What is your background, and how did you get started gardening?

Having been raised in Decatur on a half-acre lot full of a large vegetable garden, flower gardens and many fruit trees, conifers and deciduous plants, I was introduced to horticulture at an early age. My parents were avid gardeners and passed an appreciation of the land down to me. In addition, my mom was from a farm family near Toulon and took her connections to the land very seriously.

I took some horticulture classes while working on my undergraduate degree at the University of Illinois in Urbana, where I met my husband, Bryan, whose degrees were in Ornamental Horticulture. After we met and married, we shared a love of gardening with our children in Crystal Lake, both gardening on home plots and at the Community Garden on Barlina Road.

What is your gardening specialty and why?

My love is truly all things plant, but I take a special pride in our annual vegetable gardens. To be able to walk out the door and harvest our own food, to preserve it for use all winter long and to share our produce with both family, neighbors and local food pantries gives both Bryan and I great satisfaction.

There’s nothing like opening the freezer on a cold winter’s day and building a meal around eggplant tomato sauce we froze months before.

What’s in your garden? Tell us a bit about it.

Bryan and I typically grow many varieties of tomatoes, green/chili peppers, leeks, potatoes, green beans, eggplant, kale, lettuce, fennel and a huge selection of herbs to use in our culinary pursuits. Needless to say, we also enjoy cooking and experimenting with the foods we produce.

What motivated you to become a Master Gardener? What projects do you volunteer for within the organization?

As a recently retired teacher, I was looking for a way to volunteer in the community with combining my appreciation of plants with teaching. Master Gardeners is a perfect fit, as the primary mission is to educate the public regarding the components of gardening: site selection for plants, preparing the soil, growing,

Father’s passing leaves mother sad and withdrawn Dear Doctor: My father passed away six months ago, and ever since, my elderly mother has withdrawn from all social activity. I can’t help wondering if this poses a problem for her mental health.

Dear Reader: The loss of a loved one is a heavy burden for anyone to bear. For an elderly person, particularly a surviving spouse, it can be even more difficult. Elderly women and men already are dealing with challenges such as declining health, loss of independence and the shrinking of their longtime social circles. When faced with the loss of their life partner, the overwhelming grief can cause them to retreat.

Your concern for your mother is well-founded. Research shows social isolation poses a real threat not just to her cognitive function, but to her physical health as well.

Elderly people who are socially withdrawn are at greater risk of long-term illness, high blood pressure, heart disease, dementia, losing their ability to walk and stay mobile, and of serious depression.

Grief can suppress the immune system, making the elderly even more vulnerable.

Studies reveal elderly men and women who do not engage with other people die at a significantly higher rate than those who remain socially connected. This is a particularly troubling statistic as the number of senior citizens who live alone is on the rise.

Fortunately, there are steps you can take to help: • Research shows grief counseling can help surviving spouses manage their sense of loss. Encourage your mother so

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Elizabeth Ko and Eve Glazier see a counselor, or find a support group she can join.

• Something as simple as making transportation easily available can help isolated seniors break free of their bubble.

• If your mother has connections to a church or other spiritual community, reviving those ties can be helpful at this time.

• Gathering family members at your mother’s home for a meal or a movie can brighten her day. Make it a weekly or monthly habit if you can.

• For seniors who are strong enough, volunteer work, particularly with young people, gives them a meaningful activity that often has a positive effect.

• Encourage your mother to establish a new daily routine. A sense of stability can help life to feel normal again.

You may be so concerned about your mother’s pain you are shielding her from your own. Don’t be afraid to let her see the sorrow you feel about your father’s passing. Grieving together – sharing memories, telling stories, simply stating how you feel – can bring you closer and help her to feel ready to join the world again.

afraid something is wrong with my younger brother. He’s just turned 13, and he’s become violent and angry. Before, he used to tease me and our sister once in a while, but now it’s becoming an everyday thing. If we tease him back, he gets mad and starts yelling.

He directs most of his anger at our younger sister and our mom, and he has started to push my mom. She’s worried he might hurt one of us.

If she confronts him when he gets out of hand, he starts yelling, “What? I didn’t do anything!” Then later, he’ll come back and try to push or kick her.

I have noticed he talks to himself, too.

We hear how kids sometimes harm their families. I’m afraid for my mom and my sister, but also for my brother. I love him and want to help him. – Araid In Arizona Dear Afraid: If you want to help your brother, talk to your mother about getting professional help for your brother now, before he hurts someone. He should be evaluated to determine whether his problem is anger management or the onset of a mental illness. His pediatrician can refer her to a licensed mental health professional. If he doesn’t have a pediatrician, the county department of mental health can suggest someone.

Dear Abby: Our boss has a new car with a hands-free phone feature. However, she has told us in the past she’s not a very good driver and becomes distracted easily. When she calls us while she’s driving, how do we diplomatically tell her to hang up and drive? – Concerned Staff Dear Concerned Staff: Your boss’ safety is your job security. Say it to her face, and not while she’s driving.

Dear Abby: I have terminal cancer and a fiveto seven-year life expectancy, despite undergoing intense chemotherapy. I have accepted this and will not undergo further treatment. I eagerly await death. I am divorced with two grown daughters who despise each other. Therefore, I cannot look forward to family outings or get-togethers. I am forced to choose who to be with for each occasion.

I recently bought a T-shirt that says: “In Memory of When I Cared.” When strangers see it, they laugh and say I truly can’t mean that, but they are wrong. When I tell them this is how I truly feel, they say they will “pray for me.” I understand why they feel compelled to say that, but I don’t want anyone praying for me unless they pray for my death. How should I handle this? – Contented With Diagnosis Dear Contented: I’m sorry for your diagnosis, and for the fact your daughters cannot get along.

That said, when someone wears a T-shirt with a message on it, it usually invites questions. In your case, a logical question would be, “Cared about what?” When you respond you no longer care about living, the person will feel uncomfortable and try to say something positive. Unless you want to invite a long discussion, handle it by saying thank you.

Mike Lawrence wrote many excellent books quite some time ago. He has revamped them, and the latest is “Tips on Cardplay” (Master Point Press). In 300 pages, you get a vast amount of sound advice about declarer-play and defense, with approximately twice as much space on defense -- which is as it ought to be because you are a defender twice as often as you are the declarer.

How should West defend in this deal? Against four spades, he leads his singleton heart. East wins with the ace and returns the heart queen, South playing the four and 10. What should West discard?

North’s two-heart cue-bid showed spade support and at least game-invitational values.

What is going on? If East began with the heart ace-king-queen, he should have won the first trick with the queen, not the ace. If East started with the heart ace-queen-jack, that is consistent with his play, but then why did South not try to win the second trick with his heart king?

Declarer knows from the bidding and the heart-deuce lead that West started with a singleton, and South does not want West on lead.

If West trusts everyone, he should “discard” a trump at trick two(!) and shift to a diamond. Here, that produces the first four tricks for the defense -- the only way given the heart lead.

Yes, South made a clever play, but East should have led the heart nine at trick two. Since South surely has the club ace, East could anticipate this being the only winning defense.

When you want partner to ruff, lead a loser that declarer must cover.

Ultimately, they’ll put their lives on the line for all of us who aren’t willing to make that commitment. If people don’t see this as America’s Game, I don’t know that they’re paying close enough attention.”

4 GIRLS BASKETBALL: CRYSTAL LAKE SOUTH 42, CRYSTAL LAKE CENTRAL 36

Gators escape after Tigers fight back

By ALEX KANTECKI

akantecki@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Crystal Lake South’s Taylor Jozefowicz grabbed the defensive rebound, teammate Maddie Bush made both of her free throws, and the Gators finally could breathe again.

What looked like a comfortable 12-point advantage at halftime against Crystal Lake Central after a 12-of-25 shooting performance for the Gators shrank to three points in the fourth quarter after the Tigers held South to two points on one basket in the third.

“When we had the ball back and Maddie was shooting the free throws, we’re like, ‘We’re OK now. We can breathe,’ ” senior forward Annika Sevcik said. “We just didn’t want to let up the entire game.

We didn’t panic; we just knew we had to play smarter.”

Bush, a 5-foot-5 sophomore guard, made 4 of 6 free throws in the fourth, including a pair with 4.3 seconds left to erase any chance of a comeback, as the Gators held on to beat the Tigers, 42-36,

Sevcik led the Gators (4-6, 3-2 FVC) with 11 points and a game-high 13 rebounds, senior guard Kelly Gaede had seven points, and Bush had six points, six rebounds and two assists.

“I knew if I made [the free throws], I knew it would seal it,” Bush said. “I was just focusing on not turning it over (in the fourth) and getting the ball up to half court and getting the defense off balance.”

South led, 29-17, at halftime, but Central (3-5, 0-4) climbed back into the game, outscoring the Gators, 8-2, in the third and forcing eight turnovers.

At the start of the fourth, Cori Hamill made two free throws to cut South’s lead to 31-27 with 7:35 left as part of an 11-0 run for Central. Two quick baskets

by Allie David and Taylor Keegan were South’s first points in almost eight minutes and pushed the lead back to eight.

South was able to cut the lead to four points again and eventually three on a pair of free throws by Keeley Hamill with 27.2 seconds remaining, but the Gators’ defense and Bush’s free throw sealed the victory.

While South shot 48 percent in the first half, the Gators held Central to 5 of 22 (22.7 percent) with a pressure defense.

Keeley Hamill led the Tigers with 16 points and two 3s, Cori Hamill had seven points and six rebounds, and Maddie Haslow had 10 points.

“I thought the kids made good adjustments throughout the game, and really at the end that pressure (by South) wasn’t really bothering us at all,” firstyear Tigers coach Derek Crabill said. “I

We didn’t see it out of them when we scouted them and concentrated on some other things, but they did a good job handling it.”

Sevcik picked up her fourth foul with 1:21 left in the third quarter as South’s bench got put to work. The Gators finished with 11 assists on 16 baskets, including three each from Annalisa Toniolo and Lauren Schoen.

“We played nine kids off the bench, and all nine of them got pretty decent minutes,” Gators coach Mark Mucha said. “To me it’s a team win. We played team basketball in the beginning, and when we started losing our lead, that’s what was missing. We didn’t look like a team.

“We’re not the same team as last year, but we return a lot of experience.

We just need to start leaning on each other a little more.”

McHenry travels to Huntley on Tuesday. Huntley lost Friday against Hampshire for its first Fox Valley Conference defeat of the season.

we just wanted it more. Honestly, that was the biggest difference out there in my mind.”

McHenry’s excellent shooting from 3-point range (6 for 11) was a key factor, too. As was D-C shooting 25 percent (14 for 56) from the field and 42.8 percent (12 for 28) from the foul line.

Chargers coach Sarah Miller discussed all those missed chances at length with her team postgame.

“We’ve really had a tough time staying consistent and filling roles,” Miller said. “We’ve had great moments. We hung close with South Elgin and battled with Boylan. You see flashes of how good we can be, like when we scored 18 points and led at the end of the first quarter tonight.

But we have to maintain that. And we need to be smarter defensively. As the game went on, McHenry would go on mini runs, or have momentum, and we couldn’t answer back.

“There were numerous open shots and bunnies we couldn’t finish. If some of those shots fall, it’s a basketball game. A lot of it comes down to us learning how to play through contact. We work on these things all the time in practice. Games are gonna be physical. We’ve just gotta get used to fighting through that and finishing.

I’m eager to see how the girls respond to this loss.”

Allison Michalski led D-C with16 points, and Paige Gieseke added 12.

McHENRY – If McHenry continues to play with the type of tenacity it has the first month of the season, it could wind up being a huge problem for opposing teams come playoff time in February.

The Warriors’ stock continues to rise after a dominant 59-42 Fox Valley Conference girls basketball victory over Dundee-Crown on Friday night, which included a varsity career-high 19 points from sophomore guard Izzy Gscheidle.

A boisterous celebration ensued inside the McHenry locker room after the game. Booming cheers could be heard in the middle of the gymnasium more than 50 feet away, even while the locker room door was closed.

“We’re a real confident team right now,” Gscheidle said. “Our energy is tremendous. We keep pushing each other during practices and in games to make sure our energy level always stays high. We’re feeding off each other.”

It’s that same unselfish, teamfirst attitude that Warriors coach Rob Niemic is most excited about.

Although McHenry (6-3, 4-0 FVC) committed 26 turnovers, its aggressiveness at both ends of the floor was an obstacle Dundee-Crown couldn’t overcome.

“On paper, 26 lost possessions seem like a ton,” Niemic said. “But look at the end result. I’d bet at least half or more of those turnovers were simply the result of us being extremely aggressive. I’d rather have us be assertive instead of the other way around.

“The other thing I like about the start we’ve had is how well these girls seem to grasp the team concept. In four or five of our six wins, we’ve had a different leading scorer. The number of ways we are capable of beating teams really has me optimistic.”

Warriors junior forward Liz Alsot is one of those ways. After being named the Northwest Herald player of the week the day before, she posted her fifth consecutive double-double Friday (14 points and 13 rebounds).

“Dundee-Crown (2-6, 1-3) is a much better basketball team than their record shows,” Alsot said. “I feel like

Dexter Fowler smiles during a news conference announcing the free-agent center fielder’s signing with the Cardinals on Friday in St. Louis.

“I feel like this team has a chance to win a World Series,” Fowler said.

“That was a big part in coming here, because winning is addictive.”

The Cardinals needed a leadoff hitter. They hoped to get more athletic on the field and better on the basepaths.

“But Mr. Fowler is more than that,” general manager John Mozeliak said.

“We also think about him as a leader.

More importantly, he wants to lead.

He wants to have a voice in that clubhouse.”

Fowler will miss his former clubhouse, but he’ll get over it. That’s why he’s making the bigger-than-ever bucks.

“It’s bittersweet,” he said. “Now [the Cubs] are the rival, but I’ve still got some boys over there. We’ll always be boys. We won a championship together. But when you get on the field, it’s go time. Now we’re playing against each other.”

Yet the memories sure are good.

Fowler won’t ever forget the way Cubs teammates greeted him at 2016 spring training, after the team surprisingly brought him back on a one-year contract. He won’t forget the “you go, we go” faith Joe Maddon had in his leadoff guy.

He even appreciated the respectful manner in which things ended, with Cubs president Theo Epstein giving Fowler a heads-up before the team’s announcement that it had signed Jay. “I’ll be forever grateful that I was a Cub,” Fowler said. “We made history. We won a World Series. But that door is closed. I’m a Cardinal now, and we’re trying to make history over here, as well.”

shammond@shawmedia.com Crystal Lake South assistant football coach Rob Fontana will be named the Gators’ new head coach, pending High School District 155 Board approval Tuesday, according to the school board’s agenda.

Fontana will take over for Chuck Ahsmann, who retired at the end of the 2016 season after serving as the head coach for seven seasons. Ahsmann amassed a 43-28 overall record in his seven years, reaching the playoffs four

times. The Gators were 3-6 last season.

Fontana has served as an assistant football coach at South for several years, most recently as the defensive coordinator. He played football and baseball at Jacobs. He went on to pitch for the baseball team at Aurora University.

He teaches physical education and drivers education at South and is married to South girls volleyball coach Jorie Fontana.

Fontana declined comment at this time. Athletic director Jason Bott was not available for comment.

ST. LOUIS – Many who follow the Cubs will remain fans of Dexter Fowler forever, and why not? He gave the team the best season of his career in 2016, from his red-hot April to his first All-Star Game to his leadoff homer in Game 7 of the World Series.

Fowler will be missed on the North Side, and the feeling will be mutual.

But he officially has moved on – to the Cubs’ biggest rivals, no less. The Cardinals introduced their new center fielder and leadoff hitter Friday at Busch Stadium.

“I’m a Cardinal now,” Fowler said, “and I couldn’t be happier.”

One year after the Cubs lured outfielder Jason Heyward and starting pitcher John Lackey from St. Louis, the Cardinals got a measure of revenge. At least, that’s how some here are looking at it, even though the Cubs clearly had no plans to try to bring Fowler back into the fold. That was driven home with last week’s signing of former Cardinal Jon Jay, who is expected to share time in center field with Albert Almora Jr. The Cardinals gave Fowler the sort of long-term deal – a reported $82.5 million for five years – that the Cubs wouldn’t have begun to consider offering. But that’s not to suggest Fowler, who’ll wear No. 25 and turn 31 years old a week before the season starts (against the Cubs in St. Louis), doesn’t make last season’s NL Central runners-up significantly better.

In fact, he was the very piece they needed to help them bridge the gap between them and the Cubs, who finished 17½ games in front in 2016. The insertion of Fowler – who had a career-best .393 on-base percentage last season – at the top of the order enables three-time All-Star Matt Carpenter to slide back down into a run-producing role. Cardinals manager Mike Matheny also can move Randal Grichuk from center field to left field (vacated by new Yankee Matt Holliday), where he should be a defensive standout with his speed and range.

Look, it’s not like the Cardinals got Kris Bryant, Anthony Rizzo or one of the Cubs’ other young superstars.

But they are feeling pretty good about themselves.

Local players in D-II, D-III football semifinals ON CAMPUS Barry Bottino For the past four years, Wisconsin-Oshkosh senior linebacker Reese Dziedzic has specialized in putting a stop to opposing offenses.

Ferris State (Michigan) senior tight end Kyle Thompson has been a key player in one of the nation’s most potent rushing attacks.

On Saturday, both local players will put their skills to work in national semifinal playoff games.

Dziedzic, a Crystal Lake South graduate, and Oshkosh will host John Carroll University at noon in an NCAA Division III contest. Thompson, a Marian Central grad, and his Bulldog teammates travel to Northwest Missouri State in a D-II semifinal at 2:30 p.m. Both games can be seen on ESPN3.com.

ONE TOUGH TITAN

“As a senior, you hope that your season doesn’t end with a loss,” Dziedzic said. “It’s just a great way to go out. Dziedzic had nine tackles and a pass breakup for the Titans, who are ranked fourth nationally by D3Football.com, in last week’s 34-31 national quarterfinal victory at No. 3 St. Thomas (Minnesota).

A model of consistency, Dziedzic has led Oshkosh in tackles for four consecutive seasons. This fall, his 82 total stops are 24 more than the next-highest total on the team.

This week, he was named a firstteam linebacker on D3Football.com’s All-West Region team.

“I’ve loved each one of my teams, but this year … it just seems a little bit different,” he said. “It’s a great group of guys to be around. We have fun every day. We all have the same goal in mind and we’re willing to do whatever it takes to get there.”

Oshkosh (12-1) is the nation’s ninth-ranked scoring defense, allowing 13.7 points a game, and has held four opponents to seven points or less.

Steve Forner, a fellow linebacker, is the Titans’ second-leading tackler with 58 stops. Brad Walovitch is a starting cornerback who has 22 tackles and an interception. Forner and Walovitch also are South grads.

No. 6 John Carroll won the Ohio Athletic Conference by knocking off then-No. 1 Mount Union last month, snapping the Purple Raiders’ 112-game regular-season winning streak. Last week, the Blue Streaks won another difficult road game, knocking off No. 2 Wisconsin-Whitewater.

“They took down the two giants in D-III,” Dziedzic said. “At this point, every team that’s left is the best of the best.

It’s a super-exciting time.”

For Oshkosh, the semifinal appearance is its second in the past five years.

“It’s another week Reese that we get to come in Dziedzic and hang around with each other,” Dziedzic said.

TOP DOG AT FERRIS

After three seasons as Ferris State’s starting tight end, one of Thompson’s biggest rewards came on senior day last month. The ninth reception of his career was a 6-yard touchdown catch from senior quarterback Trevor Bermingham.

“When I got back to the sideline, [coach Tony Annese] gave me a hug and said, ‘That was one of my big goals today,’ ” Thompson said. “That experience was really cool. Our offense doesn’t use the tight ends in the pass game very much, if at all.”

Thompson’s biggest rewards come from helping others score as the lead blocker for the Bulldogs (12-2) and their potent running attack.

Ferris State ranks ninth in the nation with 263.9 rushing yards a game.

Last weekend, the 15th-ranked Bulldogs ran for 275 yards while beating conference rival, four-time national champion and No. 2-ranked Grand Valley State on the road, 47-32, to match a school record for single-season wins.

“There were a lot of hugs,” Thomp-

son said of the postgame scene. “For the seniors, this was five years of what we’ve been working for.”

The Bulldogs posted undefeated regular seasons in 2014 and 2015, but lost in the second round of the playoffs both seasons.

Last year, they were knocked out by Grand Valley, an 18-time Kyle playoff participant.

Thompson Winning at Grand Valley gave Ferris State its first NCAA playoff road win and sent it to the semifinals for only the second time in school history.

“It wasn’t a shock to us, just because of the roll we’ve been on and how much we’ve grown since the first time we played them,” Thompson said.

Since a 35-23 loss at Grand Valley in October, the Bulldogs – whose roster includes Jacobs grads Bret Mooney, a junior quarterback, and Josh Walker, a freshman slot receiver – have won eight consecutive games while scoring fewer than 40 points only once.

Mooney and Walker are redshirting this season.

They face a top-ranked Northwest Missouri team that is 13-0 and playing in its 11th NCAA semifinal.

Although All-American quarterback Jason Vander Laan graduated last year, the Bulldogs have found success using junior Reggie Bell and Bermingham to rush for a combined 34 touchdowns and pass for another 17.

“We still have all the same schemes and plays,” Thompson said. “You just plug somebody else in, and we roll.”

Top lineman at Robert Morris: Andrew Webster, a senior offensive lineman at NAIA Robert Morris University Chicago, earned Mid-States Football Association’s Midwest All-League first-team recognition this fall. Webster (Crystal Lake South) helped block for an offense that ranked 20th nationally in passing offense and boasted the league’s top offensive player in running back Korey Rogers (1,469 rushing yards).

Quincy standout: McHenry West grad Nate Rueckemann, a redshirt junior linebacker at D-II Quincy University, was honored last month as an honorable mention All-Great Lakes Valley Conference football team selection.

Rueckemann finished third on the team with 65 tackles for the Hawks (5-6) and contributed six tackles for loss, a sack and an interception this season. He missed last season because of injury.

He posted a team-high nine tackles in a 31-13 loss Oct. 1 to Saint Joseph’s (Indiana).

DePaul volleyball makes gains: CaryGrove grad Colleen Smith, a senior setter at DePaul, ranked fifth in the Big East Conference this season with 9.84 assists a set.

Smith has led the Blue Demons for four consecutive seasons in assists.

This season, her efforts led DePaul (13-17 overall, 7-11 Big East) to the most conference wins in a season since joining the league in 2005.

New child-sex charges for Sycamore instructor

By STEPHANIE MARKHAM

smarkham@shawmedia.com

SYCAMORE – A Sycamore gymnastics instructor charged with inappropriately touching a 9-year-old girl at the gym where he worked is accused of new offenses against another child.

Joseph R. Hannon, 21, of the 1700 block of DeKalb Avenue in Sycamore, appeared Friday in DeKalb County Court on new charges of aggravated criminal sexual abuse and a more serious charge of predatory criminal sexual assault. The victim in the new cases is a different 9-year-old girl, authorities said.

Judge Philip Montgomery doubled Hannon’s bond to $1 million, meaning Hannon would have to post $100,000 bail to be released. He remained in DeKalb County Jail on Friday evening.

Montgomery said the more serious charge, predatory criminal sexual assault against a child, is punishable by six to 30 years in prison, or up to

60 years if Hannon was convicted and found eligible for extended sentencing. The aggravated criminal sexual abuse charges could mean additional sentences of three to seven years, or up to 13 years with extended sentencing, Montgomery said.

Sycamore Police Chief Glenn Theriault said the new charges were in connection with three separate incidents of inappropriate touching that occurred during a tumbling course Hannon taught over the summer at Energym, 1715 DeKalb Ave. in Sycamore.

Montgomery said that if Hannon did post bond, he would have to stay with his parents in DeKalb and have no contact with anyone under age 18.

Hannon was on probation for a felony drug offense at the time of the alleged crimes. He was convicted of possession of a controlled substance in an incident in which he sold prescription drugs within 1,000 feet of a senior housing complex in DeKalb, according to court records.

Funeral service held for Heisman “We still have all the wonderful memowinner, former Bears RB Salaam ries from our brother Rashaan, his good BOULDER, Colo. – Former teammates joined family and friends to say goodbye to 1994 Heisman Trophy winner and former Bears running back Rashaan Salaam on Friday, remembering his warm heart and peaceful spirit.

About 250 people gathered for a funeral service for Salaam at the Islamic Center of Boulder near Folsom Field, where Salaam carved his name into the University of Colorado record book from 1992 to 1994.

He was found dead Monday night in a park not far from the school at the age of 42. His mother, Khalada, told USA TODAY Sports that police said they suspect he killed himself.

The service followed Friday’s regular prayers. Some people sat on the floor while others sat on chairs brought into the center for the event. Afterward, Salaam’s simple wooden casket was carried outside and mourners, including former Colorado coach Bill McCartney, lingered to talk and hug one another.

Imam Abdur-Rahim Ali told those at the service that they will be able to hold onto their memories of Salaam.

Former teammate T.J. Cunningham said he would remember Salaam’s infectious smile and laugh and all the good times he and his children had hanging out with Salaam.

Report: Russian doping involved more than 1,000 athletes

LONDON – Russia’s sports reputation was ripped apart again Friday when a new report into systematic doping detailed a vast “institutional conspiracy” that covered more than 1,000 athletes in more than 30 sports and corrupted the drug-testing system at the 2012 and 2014 Olympics.

The findings were handed over to the International Olympic Committee, which will be under pressure to take action against the Russians ahead of the 2018 Winter Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea.

LAKE FOREST – Even though the Bears are 3-9, they have an opportunity to finish with a good record in the NFC North. They’re 2-1 in the division with three games left against the Lions, Packers and Vikings, starting Sunday in Detroit. Granted, they’ll be underdogs in the three remaining contests.

“You know our guys understand the importance of it, and you try and establish dominance in the division, and that’ll be our attitude going in there,” coach John Fox said Friday.

The Bears beat the now-division-leading Lions in Week 4 for their first win of the season, but the Bears are 0-6 on the road this season and haven’t won at Ford Field since 2012.

For former Lion Willie Young, there is importance to finishing strong against division foes.

“That’s just taking pride in what you do,” the defensive lineman said.

“I don’t care what the situation is, you’ve just got to take pride in what you do. If you think you can just walk in here one day and just go through

the Bears. Daniel Braverman, who had only six snaps last week, could see more action in the slot at Ford Field.

The good news for the Bears is that rookie Deiondre’ Hall seems poised to return from an ankle injury that has kept him out since that win over the Lions, when he had an interception to help seal the victory.

“He’s a guy who we think has a bright future,” Fox said. “He has good length. He has good ball skills. We had him primarily in the red area because of that length.”

No decision has been made on cornerback Kyle Fuller, who practiced all week and could be activated from the injured reserve list Saturday.

Stafford’s legs: Young, who played with Matthew Stafford to start his caAP file photo reer, singled out “his cannon” as the Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford scrambles during the first half against the Lions’ quarterback’s top strength, but Young also pointed out that Stafford Bears on Oct. 2 at Soldier Field.

14 RANGERS 1, BLACKHAWKS 0 (OT)

Beat-up Hawks lose in OT Kane leaves after banging his head on glass in defeat

BLACKHAWKS NOTES

Toews’ recovery stagnant

By MARK LAZERUS

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com

CHICAGO – For about nine minutes in the second period Friday night, the Blackhawks didn’t have a core so much as a chewed-up remnant of one. Jonathan Toews was out. Brent Seabrook was out. Corey Crawford was out. And now Patrick Kane suddenly was out after his head bounced off the glass after a combination hit from Marc Staal and Nick Holden.

All this against the Eastern Conference powerhouse New York Rangers, no less.

“I think every team deals with these type of things throughout the course of the year,” Duncan Keith said of the rash of key injuries before the game.

“It’s just part of hockey, and part of what good teams are able to do is overcome the adversity.”

Great goaltending sure helps. Scott Darling and Antti Raanta put on a show in a brilliant goalie duel, with the Rangers winning, 1-0, on an overtime goal by Nick Holden. Oddly enough, it was the third 1-0 game between the two high-octane teams in their past five meetings.

A week ago, this figured to be a showdown of two of the league’s top goaltenders in Crawford and Henrik Lundqvist. But Crawford’s appendectomy and Lundqvist’s recent mediocre play turned it into a showdown of two guys who battled to be the Hawks’ backup two years ago. Darling and Raanta were spectacular, each making several remarkable saves.

Darling won the job during the Hawks’ 2014-15 Stanley Cup season, but Raanta won this battle, stopping all 26 shots he faced. Darling made 36 saves.

Raanta is a staggering 15-0-3 with a .944 save percentage at the United Center, but this was his first time in another uniform.

“First time here in this building, you know how loud the fans can be and the national anthem when it’s starting,” Raanta said. “But when you get that first save, you pretty much don’t think about those anymore. You focus on the next shot. So, it was great to come here and play. Little nervous, but it was a good it ended like this. … Always, when you play against your former team, you always want to play good and maybe pinch them a little bit.”

CHICAGO – Jonathan Toews hasn’t had any real setbacks in his recovery from a back injury. But he doesn’t appear to be making any progress, either.

Coach Joel Quenneville had hoped Toews would skate Friday morning before the Blackhawks’ game against the Rangers, but instead he was held off the ice for the seventh straight day. Friday’s game was the eighth straight Toews has missed, Jonathan and it highly is unToews likely he plays Sunday against Dallas, either.

“We were hoping that he was going to try it today, but we’ll see tomorrow how it progresses,” Quenneville said.

The Hawks are being hyper-cautious with Toews. Aside from a brief skate Sunday morning, he last practiced Dec. 2.

Brent Seabrook, who left Tuesday’s game with an upper-body injury after appearing to hit the back of his head on the ice, didn’t skate Friday, either. He’s questionable at best for Sunday’s game.

“We’ll need them on the ice before we get a better idea of that,” Quenneville said.

Friday’s game was only the second game Seabrook has missed since the start of the 2013-14 season. He has played in at least 81 games in seven of his 10 full NHL seasons.

“It’s a little bit quieter without him, that’s for sure,” Duncan Keith said. “On top of everything he brings off the ice for us, he’s been such a durable, important player for this team, this organization. When he’s not out there, it’s a weird feeling.

We’re just going to have to do as best we can to play good hockey and fill a huge void you can’t really replace.”

A legend returns: Eric Semborski, the Philadelphia-area youth coach who was pressed into emergency backup duty Dec. 3 when Corey Crawford had his appendectomy, will be flown in by the team for Sunday’s game. Scott Darling made the call to let him know.

After the game, the two amiable backups embraced and briefly chatted.

“I’m happy for him,” Darling said.

“We had no bad blood in that situation we were in. We remained friends. He’s having a great season, I’m happy for him.”

The smaller Raanta used his athleticism to make huge stops on a Kane one-timer in the first period, an Artem Anisimov wraparound in the second, and a Richard Panik blast in the slot a moment later. The 6-foot-6 Darling stretched himself to the limit to make terrific stops on a Holden redirect in the first, a Derek Stepan shot on the doorstep late in the second, and a

sprawling stop on Jesper Fast on a 2-on-1 less than a minute later.

The second period was a dizzying back-and-forth battle, with both goalies on top of their games.

“It kind of builds your intensity,” Darling said. “He’s making big saves.

You don’t want to be the guy to let one in.

It’s like we’re going against each other.”

Marian Hossa appeared to finally break through – threading a shot between both Ryan McDonagh’s legs and Raanta’s legs – at 6:00 of the third period. But the Rangers challenged the goal, and Hossa was indeed offside, just barely, as he pulled his back skate off the blue line before Ryan Hartman fully carried the puck over the line.

“You get your excitement up a little bit and try not to get too ahead of yourself when you know they are reviewing it,” Hartman said. “Obviously, it was the right call. It was just a tough one.”

Kane returned to the game after being checked out late in the second and appeared fine. But still, without so many big names, getting a point against the Metropolitan Division-leading Rangers isn’t so bad.

“Both [goalies] were great,” Joel Quenneville said. “Both guys got their teams to overtime, got a point. It’s a good point if you want to look at it like that.”

16 COLLEGE FOOTBALL: ARMY VS. NAVY, 2 P.M. SATURDAY, CBS

‘America’s Game’ takes center stage

By DAVID GINSBURG The Associated Press

BALTIMORE – Army-Navy is America’s Game. That’s the way Jeff Monken sees it, and he brings a solid argument to back up the assertion.

Now in his third season as Army’s football coach, Monken previously spent six years as an assistant at Navy. Having been an integral part of the annual duel between the esteemed service academies, Monken considers it to be the epitome of college football.

On Saturday, he proudly will stand on the sideline, delighted to again be a part of something special.

“Every young man that’s playing in the game and 9,000 other college-aged students dressed in uniform sitting in the stands have all made a pledge of commitment to serve this nation,” Monken said. “Ultimately, they’ll put their lives on the line for all of us who aren’t willing to make that commitment. If people don’t see this as America’s Game, I don’t know that they’re paying close enough attention.”

It doesn’t matter that neither Army (6-5) nor Navy (9-3) are in the Top 25, or

An Army Cadet waves a flag as the corps marches onto the field before last year’s football game against Navy in Philadelphia. that the Midshipmen have defeated the Black Knights 14 times in a row.

“It’s just a great rivalry that’s been a part of the college football landscape for over a century,” Monken said.

When their football careers end, the players are obligated to begin serving in the military. Those already in battle will be represented Saturday by several men who ultimately might be by their side.

“For all the soldiers who are laying in foxholes all over the world, chasing bad guys and standing in the gap between the freedom we enjoy and the people that

when’s it going to end and who’s going to end it? There’s a sense of responsibility to get a victory in this game.”

want to take it from us, what an honor and privilege to represent them in a game like this where the whole nation gets to watch,” Monken said.

Each team wants to win, but they’re all in this thing together.

“We’re both fierce competitors.

They’ve got warriors on their side, we’ve got warriors on our side,” Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo said. “We want to beat each other, but there’s a mutual respect because both schools know what these young men will be doing for their country when they’re done playing football.”

Some things to know about the Army-Navy game, the 117th installment of a rivalry that began in 1890:

Army suffered a somber loss when sophomore cornerback Brandon Jackson was killed in a one-car crash in September. The Black Knights have dedicated the rest of the season to his memory, and their gold helmets have a commemorative sticker with his number on the back.

“He’s definitely in our thoughts,” King said. “I know he’d love to be out here playing with us. I know he’s looking down on us.”

THE STREAK

ON THE REBOUND

Army hasn’t won since 2001 and now trails in the series, 60-49-7.

“I don’t think there’s a streak,” Army senior linebacker Andrew King said.

“The 2016 Army team has not faced the 2016 Navy team, so we’re 0-0 heading into this matchup, looking to go 1-0.”

Monken, conversely, refused to hide from the obvious.

“You can’t avoid it,” he said. “Everybody talks about it. Everybody says

PLAYING FOR NO. 28

Navy is coming off a 34-10 defeat to Temple in the American Athletic Conference title game.

“Obviously, it’s a devastating loss,” Niumatalolo said. “But we’re hoping for the same results following our other two losses. We lost to Air Force, came back and beat Houston. Lost to South Florida, came back to beat Notre Dame. So, hopefully, after the loss to Temple, we can come back to beat our rivals.”
