After predicting Trump’s win in 2016, my 2017 predictions Well, if 2016 didn’t end with a bang, the kind where the door bangs shut, as in don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

I’m talking about none other than the election of Donald Trump as president of these United States. Oh. My. What was America thinking?

I take solace in the fact that he lost the popular vote by 2.9 million ballots, showing that a plurality had it right, even if the Electoral College went the other way.

But I shouldn’t have been surprised. It was right here in this spot that my No. 1 prediction for 2016 was the election of Donald Trump as president. The only thing I got wrong was that reality-TV star Kim Kardashian would be his running mate, and she would have been an improvement over Mike Pence.

It all makes me a little afraid to offer predictions for 2017, as this is Jan. 1, the day proud prognosticators look into their crystal balls to see what is in store for the new year. Here goes …

10) Jack Franks, the first popularly elected McHenry County Board chairman, will declare Aug. 3 to be “Democrat Day” at the McHenry County Fair. But he will not attend because of a sudden prior engagement. All the better to let them think he is really a Republican.

9) The Cubs will successfully defend their World Series championship, like they did in 1908. No more Lovable Losers tag for this team.

Just another dynasty. Winning is expected, and fans will come to find out, it’s not as fun as choking. Fans will get greedy, an ugly thing.

Better to lose.

8) I haven’t consulted the Old Farmers Almanac, but McHenry County will be socked with a blizzard on Jan. 26, leaving 22 inches of snow in its wake. We can expect a wet spring, a hot summer and a short autumn, leading into the coldest December on record. I haven’t studied meteorology, but my guess is as good as any weather forecaster, so beware.

7) Disgraced former Gov. Rod Blagojevich has appealed his 14-year corruption sentence in federal court, citing his good behavior behind bars, and has asked President Barack Obama to commute his sentence for trying to sell Obama’s former Senate seat to the highest bidder. Blagojevich will be denied by both. Not even President Donald Trump will be swayed. “Couldn’t make it out of the fourth episode of impressive Celebrity Apprentice. Bad Blago. Still steamed I didn’t get an Emmy for CA after all these years.

Bad, so bad.”

6) The Bears will trade for Dallas backup

WHERE IT’S AT

VIEWS Dick Peterson quarterback Tony Romo, muscled out of his job by a rookie, and the Bears will finish the season 10-6, earning a playoff appearance.

5) Jack Franks campaigned on a promise to shrink county government. Little did he know the personal implications. Instead of shrinking county government, Franks will shrink to 5-foot even, as will a majority of county board members. Franks will regret not being more specific.

4) The Illinois Legislature and Gov. Bruce Rauner will fail to agree to a budget for the second year in a row, making Illinois the laughingstock of the states. The Legislature will dissolve and Rauner will resign, and no one will notice, as both parties prepare for the 2018 elections.

The exodus of residents to other states will continue; Illinois will lose a staggering 100,000 residents in 2017, saying, “We don’t necessarily want good government – this is Illinois, after all – we’ll just settle for government.” And they will go elsewhere to find it.

3) Mutt Puppy will learn to sit, stay, lay and chill; chill being the most important. But he also will pick up French, in addition to bark.

We quit our day jobs and go on the road with him, joining the circus as a sideshow act.

2) Cars that drive themselves will begin to show up on U.S. roads in amazing numbers, allowing people to text and “drive.” However, a computer glitch makes the auto-cars unusually aggressive, as they take on standard cars that operate outside the bounds of the law. Road rage becomes computerized, and police aren’t sure whether to ticket the “drivers” or have the offending vehicles towed to storage for violating the rules of the road.

1) Judge Judy Sheindlin will be nominated

by President Trump to fill the vacancy left by the death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia almost a year ago. Judge Judy has had one of the top-rated daytime TV shows for almost 20 years. She has a star of the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Before TV, she was even a real judge. That’s huge.

MCC’s Young Adult Student Success Program helps jobless youth find work

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – When Jonathan Sandoval was looking to get real-world experience in the manufacturing field, the 23-yearold from Carpentersville heard about McHenry County College’s Young Adult Success Program.

“This program helps people who have trouble looking for jobs,” Sandoval said.

“It’s a good social experience to help people

and have them learn more about jobs they are interested in and how to look for those jobs.”

After graduating from the manufacturing program in the fall, Sandoval has the necessary certifications, connections and experience to help him secure employment.

“Now I’m trained in several areas that can help me get a better job for the future,” Sandoval said.

As the picture shows, traffic was reduced to single lanes during the Great Blizzard of 1936. There simply was no place to push the snow.

By the time January ended that year, an estimated 3 feet of snow had fallen, and it was frozen so solid in places that plow drivers could not move it. In early February, a blizzard and record, bone-chilling cold paralyzed the area – stranding motorists, derailing train travel and grinding life to a halt. Ironically, July 1936 produced the longest period of scorching heat ever in northeast Illinois – including nine consecutive days with temperatures reaching 100 degrees at Rockford.

New County Board committees to meet next week

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Several of the newly assigned and newly consolidated committees of the McHenry County Board will meet next week.

The meetings are the first since the County Board – with newly elected Chairman Jack Franks, D-Marengo, at the helm – consolidated three of its newer committees into older ones and assigned members to them for the next two years.

Committee assignments are shuffled after every November election to adjust for the departure of old members and the swearing in of new ones.

The new Law and Government Committee, which merged the old Law and Justice and the Legislative and Intergov-

ernmental Affairs committees, will meet Jan. 9. Meeting later that morning will be the Planning, Environment and Development Committee, which merged Planning and Development with the Natural and Environmental Resources Committee.

On Jan. 10, the Public Health and Community Services Committee, which was renamed because it absorbed a number of community service-related functions, will meet, as will the Internal Support and Facilities Management Committee, which came from the merger of the facilities committee into the Management Services Committee.

While the new committees will have input in setting their meeting times and dates, Franks will have the ultimate say.

Franks wants all committees to meet in the board room so their meetings can

be audio streamed just like full County Board meetings. Committees in the past typically met and conducted their business in adjoining conference rooms, which were open to the public as required by the Illinois Open Meetings Act. A new variable that has to be settled is the Human Resources Committee, which County Board members successfully saved from a proposed consolidation, citing its importance and workload. The Committee on Committees, which is convened after each November election, likely will convene again in the next several weeks to assign members to it.

Among the changes proposed by Franks that the County Board has made is moving from two voting meetings a month to one, preceded by five days by a committee of the whole.

Children and parents celebrate the “noon” year with a balloon drop Saturday during a “Noon Year’s Eve Party at Village Hall in Lake in the Hills.

Families ring in Noon Year’s Eve

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com LAKE IN THE HILLS – Some families rang in the new year early on Saturday, celebrating “Noon Year’s Eve” in Lake in the Hills.

This was the first year the Lake in the Hills Parks and Recreation Department held the event so parents with children 8 years old and younger could celebrate the new year without staying awake until midnight, Recreation Supervisor Kristi Brewer said.

“After our Festival of Trees event, there’s not a lot for little kids to do,” Brewer said. “So we wanted to have a party for everybody to bring their families with and their little kids.”

About 50 children were registered for the event, Brewer said, and it’s something she hopes to continue hosting next year.

Confetti was sprinkled on the floor in the basement of Village Hall, and children could choose among activities from dancing, to making party hats and noisemakers, to eating snacks.

Sara Greenwald and her 3-year-old daughter, Myka, of Algonquin, sat at a table and decorated a New Year’s Eve Alexa Pedersen, 3 of Gilberts, prepares to throw a “snowball” Saturday during a “Noon Year’s Eve Party” at Village Hall in Lake in the Hills. The event included crafting party hats hat.

To address the issue of unemployed youth, the Young Adult Student Success Program helps 18- to 24-year-olds prepare for high-paying occupations in manufacturing and health care. The program is made possible by a $100,000 federal grant from the McHenry County Workforce Network, which enrolls the students in the program while MCC coordinates the program’s classes.

Program coordinator Justin DeBolt said the program’s main goal is to positively affect people’s lives in a short amount of time.

“This program is a win-win for the students and the community,” DeBolt said. “You’re going to have students who were struggling before, who didn’t have their GED, but this program helps them get that, and they now boast a résumé full of skills.”

The program’s first students completed it in spring 2015. Since it launched, 21 students have graduated from the manufacturing track and six have graduated from the health care track.

The manufacturing course starts by students taking life-skill classes where they set goals for themselves and help build their résumés. After that, students take a Occupational Safety and Health Administration class to get them certified. The final step of the program consists of a 40-hour welding boot camp.

“The program also includes worksite tours at local, participating businesses,” DeBolt said. “So with this last group, we took them to four different local manufacturers and facilities to see what kind of jobs are out there and if it’s really somewhere they want to work someday.”

For those interested, the manufacturing program will return Feb. 2 and run for 12 weeks. If needed, the school could open a second manufacturing class to accommodate more students in March, DeBolt said.

For the health care track, at least three students have enrolled in the upcoming program, which is a semesterlong class that caps at 15 students.

Anyone interested in the health care program can take classes in certified nursing assistance, electrocardiogram or phlebotomy, depending on class availability.

“Both of these tracks have a lot of great job opportunities, so this program provides them with the necessary training to get them prepared for those positions,” said Barbara Billimack, McHenry County Workforce Network’s lead youth career adviser.

Billimack said the three students who already completed the health care track are all working full time based on the training and skills they received through the program.

To enroll in the program, contact DeBolt at 815-479-7787 or jdebolt@mchenry.edu.

Cary village trustee challenges mayor for seat

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com CARY – Cary Trustee Jim Cosler is challenging Mayor Mark Kownick for his seat in the April 4 consolidated election.

While Kownick said he would like to hold his position and continue making Cary a destination where people want to live and work, Cosler said he’s running to represent the residents of Cary.

Since he was elected as a write-in trustee candidate in 2015, Cosler said he’s worked hard at reaching out to and communicating with the community.

“I think people realize the effort I’ve made to communicate with them and go down a line of transparency and openness,” Cosler said. “If you call me, if you write me – you’ll get an answer.”

Cosler said he’s not coming at the race from the angle of a politician and wouldn’t want people calling him “mayor,” if elected.

“Honestly, I’m just the type of person that loves the town they live in, and I want to see Cary do the best it can,” Cosler said.

Cary has seen a handful of controversial projects brought before the board in the past, most recently including the Pedcor affordable living project, the

“... What I would change personally is the procedures and processes that lead down to these [controversial] verdicts. I take great issue with the way things have been handled in Cary.”

“I have a vision and goals for us.

I’m not waiting around to see what falls in our lap. Let’s look at some things that are going to continue to make Cary a destination.”

expansion of Sage Products and the approval of an updated agreement with Meyer Material.

“There have been many controversial issues, and I think what I would change personally is the procedures and processes that lead down to these verdicts,” Cosler said. “I take great issue with the way things have been handled in Cary.”

Cosler said there should be more clear-cut procedures on how items come before the Village Board, and there should be a better way to take residents’ input into account.

What Cosler said he’s most proud of

through his time on the board is helping start the streaming of village meetings on YouTube. The village is now looking into using another system to make it easier for people trying to watch meetings, he said.

Cosler, 46, has lived in Cary for about 14 years and works as an airline pilot.

Kownick first held an elected role in Cary as a trustee from 2009 to 2011. When he ran for mayor in 2013, his platform was to make Cary a destination, which is a goal he said he’s accomplished.

Some of the goals Kownick said he’s seen through during his term include streamlining the process for businesses

to receive incentives, planning for the redevelopment of the Metra station, creating a comprehensive plan and maintaining a balanced budget, he said.

Kownick said he hopes to continue working on finding ways to fund downtown improvement if re-elected.

“I have a vision and goals for us,” Kownick said. “I’m not waiting around to see what falls in our lap. Let’s look at some things that are going to continue to make Cary a destination.”

While Kownick said there have been projects throughout his term that have split the board and the public, his goal is to always make sure people have all the right information, and decisions are made based on facts.

“I think it’s important that people realize not everybody is going to agree on situations, but we all have to agree to do what’s right for the entire community,” Kownick said.

Kownick, 57, is the president and owner of Action Building Maintenance Corp. He also is the vice president of the McHenry County Council of Governments, on the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus’ Housing and Community Development Committee, an ex-officio director for the Cary-Grove Area Chamber of Commerce and helped start the Cary Main Street Fest.

NORTHWEST HERALD LAKE IN THE HILLS – The village of Lake in the Hills has received a $5,880 grant to upgrade its interior fluorescent hanging lights at Village Hall.

The grant, from the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus, helps the village in its efforts to replace inefficient fixtures, according to a news release from the village. It also will help defray the costs of converting the internal components of the 44 decorative fluorescent lights with LED retrofit kids, the release said.

Upgrading to LED technology replaces the existing nonbulb fixtures with LED strips that can reduce annual

wattage consumption, the release said.

According to a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency report, municipal buildings can often save more than 40 percent in energy costs through LED lighting installations and retrofits, the release said. LED tubes also last longer than the fluorescent lights, resulting in a decrease in maintenance costs.

Other benefits of LED lighting are it doesn’t require a warm-up period, it can be dimmed, it doesn’t give off UV, doesn’t contain mercury and is controllable through various systems.

The project to replace the old fixtures is expected to start in January, according to the release.

He was honored to have earned the trust of so many, and proudly spoke of his many friendships and experiences.

Above all, he loved and adored his wife Regina. They spent joyful days at their beautiful lake home, and travel to Mexico, Lithuania, and other places around the world. Bernard worked tirelessly and lovingly to make their home a beautifully landscaped oasis for his beloved bride. He was happiest with Regina. Those who knew him were moved by his ever-deepening love for and devotion to her.

The family would like to thank the staff at Hartland Hospice and Bernard’s caregivers Hilga Galabine and Birute Sakaviciene for their kind and warm care.

Silent march in Chicago marks year of violence

CHICAGO – Hundreds of people carried crosses Saturday for each person slain in Chicago this year during a quiet march along Michigan Avenue.

Each 3-foot-tall cross was engraved with the name of a homicide victim. The silence of the march was punctuated by demonstrators who spoke each name aloud. Authorities said more than 760 people were killed in Chicago in 2016.

There were fewer than 500 homicides in the city last year.

March organizer the Rev. Michael Pfleger said he hopes the visuals of the protest along Chicago’s premiere retail street will inspire people to take action to reduce violence in 2017.

Man charged in murder of teen who advertised online

MARKHAM – A Chicago man who couldn’t pay for sex with a 16-yearold who advertised her services online has been charged with first-degree murder in the girl’s death.

Cook County prosecutors said Antonio Rosales, 32, contacted Desiree Robinson through a website that hosts classified ads, including a section for adults.

Assistant State’s Attorney Christina Dracopoulos said Rosales and Robinson met at a party in Markham, and later had sex in the man’s truck. Rosales attempted to negotiate a free encounter.

Dracopoulos said Robinson refused his offer and insulted him. It was then that he punched her and strangled her as she tried to call for help. Her body was found on Christmas Eve.

Chicago woman has 110th birthday on New Year’s

CHICAGO – A Chicago woman is getting ready to celebrate her 110th birthday on New Year’s Day. WLS-TV reported that family and friends are throwing a party for Daisy Driss, who was a 1907 New Year’s baby.

Driss said she doesn’t feel any different from when she was 99. She said “The days go by, and I go by with them.”

Driss worked as a Chicago Public Schools teacher until she was forced to retire in 1972. Since then she’s kept her mind sharp by reading the newspaper “cover-to-cover” at breakfast.”

U.N. backs efforts from Russia, Turkey in Syria amid perilous cease-fire

By EDITH M. LEDERER and PHILIP ISSA The Associated Press

BEIRUT – The U.N. Security Council unanimously adopted a resolution Saturday supporting efforts by Russia and Turkey to end the nearly six-year conflict in Syria and jumpstart peace negotiations, as a fragile countrywide cease-fire wavered.

The resolution also calls for the “rapid, safe and unhindered” delivery of humanitarian aid throughout Syria. And it anticipates a meeting of the Syrian government and opposition representative in Kazakhstan’s capital, Astana, in late January.

The resolution’s final text dropped an endorsement of the Syria cease-fire agreement reached Thursday, simply taking note of it but welcoming and supporting Russian-Turkish efforts to end the violence. Western members of the council sought the last-minute changes to the draft resolution to clarify the U.N.’s role and the meaning of the agreement brokered by Moscow and Ankara.

U.S. Deputy Ambassador Michele Sison said the Obama administration strongly supports a cease-fire and “unfettered humanitarian access,” but she expressed regret that additional documentation to the agreement brokered by Russia and Turkey with details about its implementation have not yet been made public.

Meanwhile on the ground in Syria, rebels warned on Saturday that cease-fire violations by pro-government forces threatened to undermine the 2-day-old agreement intended to pave the way for talks between the government and the opposition in the new year.

Airstrikes pounded opposition-held villages and towns in the strategically important Barada Valley outside Damascus, activists said, prompting rebels to threaten to withdraw their compliance with a nationwide truce bro-

kered by Russia and Turkey last week.

The airstrikes let up in the late evening, but rebels nevertheless staged retaliatory attacks against government-held areas in other parts of the country, according to the media arm of the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, which is fighting alongside the government in Syria.

Hezbollah military media reported a barrage of rebel rocket fire on the twin Shiite villages of Foua and Kfraya in northern Syria that have remained loyal to the government in the otherwise rebel-dominated Idlib province.

The government’s side has rallied thousands of Shiite militia fighters from across the Middle East on the grounds of defending the sect in Syria.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group also reported the attacks. It added that pro-government forces had advanced against rebels in the eastern Ghouta region outside Damascus, in a clear violation of the cease-fire.

Rebels also accused the government of signing a different version of the agreement to the one they signed in the Turkish capital of Ankara, further complicating the latest diplomatic efforts to bring an end to six years of war.

Nearly 50,000 people died in the conflict in 2016, according to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which maintains networks of contacts on all sides of the war.

More than 13,000 of them were civilians, according to the Observatory. Various estimates have put the war’s overall toll at 400,000 dead.

If the truce holds, the government and the opposition will be expected to meet for talks for the first time in nearly a year in the Kazakh capital of Astana in the second half of January.

Those talks will be mediated by Russia, Turkey and Iran, though Russia’s U.N. Ambassador Vitaly Churkin has said other key players including the United States are welcome to participate.

Donald Trump remaking Republican Party in his image

By STEVE PEOPLES The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – For eight years, a leaderless Republican Party has rallied around its passionate opposition to President Barack Obama and an unceasing devotion to small government, free markets and fiscal discipline.

No more.

On the eve of his inauguration, Donald Trump is remaking the party in his image, casting aside decades of Republican orthodoxy for a murky populist agenda that sometimes clashes with core conservative beliefs. Yet his stunning election gives the GOP a formal leader for the first time in nearly a decade. The New York real estate mogul becomes the face of the party, the driver of its policies and its chief enforcer.

Despite their excitement, Republican loyalists across the country concede that major questions remain about their party’s identity in the age of Trump.

The simple answer: The

AP file photo

President-elect Donald Trump and House Speaker Paul Ryan of Wisconsin pose for photographers Nov. 10 after a meeting in the Speaker’s office on Capitol Hill in Washington. modern-day Republican Party stands for whatever Trump wants it to.

“He’s a sometime-Republican,” American Conservative Union Chairman Matt Schlapp said. “Donald Trump was elected without having to really put all the details out on all these questions. We are going to see in the first six months how this plays out. Does government get bigger or does it get smaller?”

Trump is eyeing a governing agenda that includes big-ticket items that Schlapp

and other conservative leaders would fight against under any other circumstances. Yet some see Trump’s agenda as more in line with the concerns of average Americans, which could help the party’s underwhelming public standing and keep them in power.

The president-elect initially promised a massive infrastructure spending bill to update the nation’s roads and bridges, an investment that could dwarf the infrastructure spending Republicans opposed when

it appeared in Obama’s 2009 stimulus package. Trump has also vowed to put the federal government in the child care business by allowing parents to offset child care costs with tax breaks. And he has railed against regional trade deals and threatened to impose tariffs on some imports, a sharp break from the free-market approach that has defined Republican policies for decades.

“From a policy perspective, he might be one of the more flexible Republican presidents.

He’s just not encumbered with 30 years of Republican ideology,” said veteran Republican operative Barry Bennett, a former Trump adviser.

“If there’s a win involved, he’s interested,” Bennett said.

Republicans in Congress and elsewhere have expressed some hesitation, but most appear to be willing to embrace the incoming president’s priorities – at least at first.

There are indications that Trump may initially avoid issues that would divide his party. That’s according to Trump’s incoming chief of

staff, Reince Priebus, who said in a recent radio interview that the new administration will focus in its first nine months on conservative priorities such as repealing Obama’s health care law and rewriting tax laws.

In a post-election interview with The New York Times, Trump acknowledged that he didn’t realize during the campaign that New Deal-style proposals to put people to work building infrastructure might conflict with his party’s small-government philosophy.

“That’s not a very Republican thing – I didn’t even know that, frankly,” Trump said.

Trump’s confusion can be forgiven, perhaps, given his inexperience in Republican politics. He was a registered Democrat in New York between August 2001 and September 2009. And once he became a Republican, his political views were shaped from his perch in New York City, where the Republican minority is much more liberal – particularly on social issues – than their counterparts in other parts of the country.

ISTANBUL – An assailant believed to have been dressed in a Santa Claus costume opened fire at a nightclub in Istanbul during New Year’s celebrations, killing at least 35 people and wounding 40 others in what the province’s governor described as a terror attack.

Gov. Vasip Sahin said the attacker, armed with a long-barreled weapon, killed a police officer and a civilian outside the club at around 1:45 a.m. Sunday before entering and firing on people partying inside. He did not say who may have carried out the attack.

“Unfortunately (he) rained bullets in a very cruel and merciless way on innocent people who were there to celebrate New Year’s and have fun,” Sahin told reporters.

Private NTV news channel said the assailant entered the Reina nightclub, in Istanbul’s Ortakoy district, dressed in a Santa Claus outfit.

Some customers jumped into the waters of the Bosporus to escape the attack, the report said. NTV television said some of the wounded were foreign nationals.

The whereabouts of the assailant was not known and it was not clear

the area close to the Reina night club, one of the most popular night spots in Istanbul in heavy rain. Several ambulances flashing blue lights arrived on the scene, some taking wounded to Istanbul hospitals.

The White House condemned what it called a “horrific terrorist attack” and offered U.S. help to Turkey.

White House spokesman Eric Schultz said President Barack Obama was briefed on the attack by his national security team and asked to be updated as the situation developed. Obama is vacationing in Hawaii this week with his family.

White House National Security Council spokesman Ned Price said the attack on “innocent revelers” celebrating New Year’s shows the attackers’ savagery. He said the U.S. was sending Depo Photos via AP thoughts and prayers to the relatives of Youths embrace near the scene of an attack early Sunday in Istanbul. An assailant believed those killed.

OUR VIEW

Embrace promise of a New Year

People have made New Year’s resolutions since ancient times.

For many of us, these resolutions are about self-improvement – being more generous or courteous, or living a healthier lifestyle.

Whether we stick to our resolutions or not, the sentiment behind them – it’s within our power to make life better in the year to come – is a good one.

Today will mark the first day of 2017, and it is within all of our power to make the coming year a good one.

The beauty of a new year is the promise it holds.

The year to come will be unlike any other – just as 2016 was unlike any other.

This year in particular promises to be filled with change, both at the broadest world level down to our towns and families, and even our own minds and bodies.

So much occurs in a year’s time that by the end, we forget things that have happened months earlier, until we are reminded of them in the annual “year in review” stories in newspapers and on television.

It can take less than a year for the improbable to become reality. In November, the Cubs won the World Series six days before Donald Trump was elected the 45th president of the United States.

What similarly improbable surprises might 2017 bring? Maybe this will be the year Illinois’ Republicans and Democrats come together to address our state’s financial predicament.

Maybe 2017 will be the year we finally see the economic expansion we have waited for since the Great Recession ended in 2009.

For many of us, this also will be the year we accomplish important goals and milestones in our own lives – be it losing weight, completing a degree, getting married, having a child or visiting a place we’ve always wanted to see.

There is no way of knowing just what this New Year has in store for us and our communities. But it will begin filled with promise, and as 2017 unfolds, the Northwest Herald will be there to tell the story one day at a time.

Regardless our individual situations, let us all resolve to meet the promise of this new year head on and try to make it the best that we can for ourselves and those around us, from January all the way through to next December.

Happy New Year, McHenry County!

To the Editor: Kudos to Michael Penkava for a wonderfully written article, “You Meet the Nicest People at Chemo.”

The first time I saw the caption, I quickly decided I didn’t want to read it. Opening the paper a second time, I changed my mind, and I’m glad I did. While none of us ever wish to undergo chemo treatments, Mr. Penkava painted a picture of a warm and friendly place surrounded by great nurses and other chemo patients who are fighters against cancer with a strong desire to live. The last paragraph was absolutely inspiring.

Ambitious humanoid robot is amusing, but is it practical?

By MICHAEL LIEDTKE The Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO – While merrily chirping, dancing and posing for selfies, a robot named Pepper looks like another expensive toy at a San Francisco mall. But don’t dismiss it as mere child’s play.

Pepper embodies the ambitions of SoftBank Robotics, an Asian joint venture formed by a trio of major technology companies that’s aiming to put its personable robots in businesses and homes across the U.S. over the next few years.

If the technology advances as SoftBank Robotics hopes, Pepper could become a playmate, companion and concierge. It could eventually respond to voice commands to retrieve vital information, make reservations and control home appliances that are connected to the internet.

That’s the theory, anyway. For now, Pepper is more amusing than practical, Forrester Research analyst J.P. Gownder says. For instance, Pepper has been directing shoppers to stores in the mall through text messages because it still isn’t advanced enough to say them out loud. And Pepper still has trouble understanding what people are asking, requiring shoppers to type in their requests for mall directions on a tablet mounted on the robot’s chest.

SoftBank is trying to improve Pepper’s capabilities by focusing first on the business market – retailers, hotels, auto dealerships and even hospitals. SoftBank hopes to use those environments to learn more about what consumers like and don’t like about Pepper and, from that, teach it more tasks, said Steve Carlin, the venture’s general development in North America.

GREETINGS IN THE MALL

The recently launched test runs in Westfield Corp.’s malls in San Francisco and Santa Clara, California, mark the first time that Pepper has made an extended appearance in the U.S. The robots began appearing just before Thanksgiving and will stick around through mid-February. Carlin says about 300 to 500 people per day engaged with Pepper during its first month in the San Francisco mall.

During a recent visit, kids flocked around the 4-foot-tall humanoid as it

Clara center. If all goes well, Westfield also plans to bring Pepper to its New York mall at the World Trade Center and Garden State mall in Paramus, New Jersey.

“We put her in our (human resources) system and have given her a name tag,” says Shawn Pauli, senior vice president for Westfield.

Westfield views Pepper as a way to make shopping in the mall more entertaining and enjoyable at a time when people are increasingly buying merchandise online. Three Peppers are sprinkled in heavily trafficked areas around Westfield’s San Francisco mall and two more are in the Santa

Pepper got its start two years ago in Japan before expanding into Europe. In those two markets, more than 10,000 Peppers are already operating in grocery stores, coffee shops, banks, cruise lines, railway stations and homes. Most of the robots are in businesses. SoftBank hasn’t disclosed how many have been sold to consumers.

Carlin acknowledges the U.S. will be a tougher market to crack than Japan, where he says consumers tend to embrace new technology more quickly.

In addition, Pepper’s price is likely to be out of reach for most consumers. The robot currently sells for about $2,000; a three-year subscription covering software upgrades, insurance and technology support increases the total to $18,000 to $20,000.

SoftBank Robotics is controlled by Japan’s SoftBank Group, a technology conglomerate that recently pledged to invest $50 billion in U.S. startups. A

remaining 40 percent stake is equally owned by China’s Alibaba Group, Asia’s e-commerce leader, and by Taiwan’s Foxconn, which assembles Apple’s iPhone and is considering a U.S. expansion.

PEPPER ISN’T ALONE

Despite its pedigree, Pepper already lags behind a cruder-looking robot that home improvement retailer Lowe’s has been testing as a way to help shoppers find merchandise in its sprawling stores, Gownder says.

The “LoweBot,” a box-like machine on wheels, began patrolling a San Jose, California, store last month and will begin showing up in 10 other stores in the San Francisco Bay area in early 2017. If all goes well, it could become a fixture in all of Lowe’s stores.

Gownder gives LoweBot the early edge over Pepper because Lowe’s machine has a detailed database of the store’s inventory, enabling it to quickly determine if something is in stock and then guide shoppers to the aisle where the requested item is located.

“While Pepper offers a lively, appealing interface, it remains to be seen whether it will fill the role that retailers want,” Gownder says. “Does it have enough intelligence to answer customers’ questions effectively?”

His wife’s final selfless gift Dear Dave: My wife and I have been married for 12 years. Last month, we found out she has terminal cancer and only six months to live. We’ve been fortunate enough to become DAVE SAYS fairly wealthy Dave during our lives Ramsey together, and she wants to buy me a boat. We always went fishing together, and her last wish is for me to have the boat I’ve always wanted.

Even with this prognosis, I’ll be OK financially when she’s gone. Still, I can’t stand the thought of this. It’s just too painful. Do you have any advice?

– Andrew Dear Andrew: Buddy, I am so very sorry. I hope

you realize that you have the sweetest woman on earth for your wife. Even with all she’s going through, her thoughts are of you and your happiness. That is one amazing lady. The first thing I’d tell you both is to make sure your faith is intact.

Hug her a lot, and keep talking to, praying with, and loving on each other. Be there for her all you can, and keep in mind that doctors can be wrong.

It happens a lot, believe it or not, so don’t give up hope. If she brings up the boat again, just smile and let her know it’s all about her right now.

Remind her that she did the nicest thing possible many years ago when she agreed to spend the rest of her life with you. If she’s really stubborn about this idea – something tells me she is, and in the very best way possible – promise her that whether you win or lose this fight, you’ll buy that boat someday and name it after her. In other words, just tell her the truth and be real. If she goes home to be with the Lord, there might come a day down the road when the pain you’ll feel has dulled just a little, and you find yourself sitting on that fishing boat that’s named after her. That would be OK. I’m sure she would be smiling at you while you reeled in a big one. But you’ve got more important things to take care of right now – namely her.

Dear Dave: My husband has two trucks, one of which is a work truck at his construction site. It’s in really bad shape, and he wants to take $16,000 out of savings to buy another one. We only have $17,000 in the account. What should we do? – Car-

oline Dear Caroline: Your husband wants to drain your

savings to buy a $16,000 vehicle and roll it up to a construction site? I think this guy has been watching too many macho-man truck commercials.

In the real world, some hard hat will run into it with a piece of heavy equipment or drop a load of bricks off center and put some big time damage on this truck before he puts 1,000 miles on it. He wants to buy way too much truck. This kind of decision will wreck your finances and spell bad news for the business, too.

You can buy a perfectly good work truck for $6,000 or $7,000, and that’s what he needs to do.

This truck is going to get destroyed, and trashing an inexpensive truck is a much better idea than trashing the family finances!

Physical therapy center offers balance screenings

ALGONQUIN – 1st Choice FYZICAL Therapy and

Balance Center, 1447 Merchant Drive, Algonquin, will offer free fall risk assessments during the month of January, according to a news release.

“People think they’re supposed to lose their balance as they age, but that’s not true,” Amy Zornow, D.P.T. , president of 1st Choice FYZICAL and a licensed physical therapist, said in the release. “Seniors can confidently move around, but only if they continually maintain strength and balance through very specific exercises.”

To identify balance disorders, FYZICAL offers a comprehensive screening tool called BODYQ. Based on the results, physical therapists can design individualized, medically based exercise programs. BODYQ also screens for dizziness, vision and hearing – all of which can affect balance.

Continued from page 23 EARLY FEEDBACK

While LoweBot is a one-trick pony, focused on retail tasks, SoftBank’s ambitions with Pepper are greater. Pepper has enough artificial intelligence to recognize smiles and frowns, helping the robot understand the mood of a person interacting with it. But it also tends to lock its electronic eyes on someone standing in front of it and continue to follow people as they look away while ignoring the next visitor.

A recent visitor to the San Francisco mall, Sharif Ezzat, noticed some of Pepper’s shortcomings and concluded that the robot is still a long way from having mass appeal.

“I can’t see it right now, but I can see where it’s going,” Ezzat said of Pepper’s potential.

Chaz MacSwan, a puppeteer in San Francisco, was more impressed.

Emerson Hill, 6, plays with Pepper the robot at Westfield Mall in San Francisco.

“Look at the joy it’s bringing to people, especially the kids,” MacSwan said. “I’d love to have one, especially if it could clean the carpets.”

The dawn of a new year brings joy, hope for new beginnings Dear Readers: It’s 2017! A new year has arrived, bringing with it our chance for a new beginning.

Today is the day we have an opportunity to discard destructive old habits for healthy new ones, and with that in mind, I will share Dear Abby’s often-requested list of New Year’s Resolutions – which were adapted by my late mother, Pauline Phillips, from the original credo of AlAnon: Just for today – I will live through this day only. I will not brood about yesterday or obsess about tomorrow. I will not set far-reaching goals or try to overcome all of my problems at once.

I know I can do something for 24 hours that would overwhelm me if I had to keep it up for a lifetime.

Just for today – I will be happy. I will not dwell on thoughts that depress me. If my mind fills with clouds, I will chase them away and fill it with sunshine.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips Just for today – I will accept what is.

I will face reality. I will correct those things that I can correct and accept those I cannot.

Just for today – I will improve my mind.

I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration. I will not be a mental loafer.

Just for today – I will make a conscious effort to be agreeable. I will be kind and courteous to those who cross my path, and I’ll not speak ill of others. I will improve my appearance, speak softly and not interrupt when someone else is talking.

Just for today, I will refrain from improving anybody but myself.

Just for today – I will do something positive to improve my health. If I’m a smoker, I’ll quit. If I am overweight, I will eat healthfully – if only just for today. And not only that, I will get off the couch and take a brisk walk, even if it’s only around the block.

Just for today – I will gather the courage to do what is right and take responsibility for my own actions.

And now, Dear Readers, I would like to share an item that was sent to me by L.J. Bhatia, a reader from New Delhi, India: Dear Abby: This year, no resolutions, only some guidelines. The Holy Vedas say, “Man has subjected himself to thousands of self-inflicted bondages. Wisdom comes to a man who lives according to the true eternal laws of nature.”

The prayer of St. Francis (of which there are several versions) contains a powerful message:

Big Brothers Big Sisters of McHenry County www.bbbsmchenry.org • 815-385-3855

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace; Where there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light; And where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; To be understood, as to understand; To be loved, as to love; For it is in giving that we receive, It is in pardoning that we are pardoned, And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Cary-Grove co-op’s Ethan Hare competes in 200-Yard IM during a swim meet against McHenry on Feb. 4 at McHenry West High School.

Cary-Grove co-op, McHenry aiming to stay on top after changing of the guard

By JOHN WILKINSON

jwilkinson@shawmedia.com The start of the 2016-17 season arrived with some big changes for two of the area’s top teams, in the pool and on the deck. CaryGrove co-op and McHenry both have new head coaches and both graduated swimmers who were the leaders of their programs.

The county’s two state medalists from a year ago – McHenry’s Kevin Braun and Cary-Grove’s Cooper Langanis – are gone.

Braun in particular, had been the class of the conference the past four years, reaching state three times and taking home two fourth-place finishes at state last year (the best placing in school history). Gone also is McHenry’s Trey Schopen, a multiyear state qualifier, FVC champion and coFVC MVP alongside Braun. So is Jackson Smith, who swam on McHenry’s state-qualifying 200and 400-yard freestyle relays with Braun and Schopen.

“Losing them, you can kind of tell it was a little different, they’re kind of trying to feel each other out and see who’s going to be the leaders,” new McHenry coach Brandon Das said. “A few of them are trying to step into those roles, trying to take the lead and they’re working hard so, that’s really all I can ask for.”

The Warriors will be led by sophomore Riley Hedberg, who swam on both state freestyle relay teams last year, among others.

“It was a weird feeling knowing that we … had to step up and push the team like they used to,” senior Josh Zabor said. “That was definitely something hard to get used to, having to be the lead.”

There’s a similar feeling at Cary-Grove, where Langanis plus relay partners Corey Sheehan and Scott Eibel made it to state last year and won the program’s ninth-consecutive Fox Valley

See SWIMMING, page 4

Five swimmers to watch

Harold Ogaban

Ethan Hare

Harold Ogaban Hampshire, so.

Ogaban won the FVC title in the 100 breaststroke last year as a freshman with a time of 1:04.32 and was named FVC newcomer of the year.

Ethan Hare Cary-Grove, sr.

Hare swam at state last year in the 200 and 400 freestyle relays and is the only returning member of those teams. He also won the FVC title in the 200 individual medley.

Riley Hedberg

Jeremy Wolf

Riley Hedberg McHenry, so.

Hedberg made it to the state meet as a freshman last year, stepping up late in the season to join three seniors on McHenry’s relays, making it to state in the 200 and 400 freestyle relays.

Jeremy Wolf Woodstock co-op, sr.

Wolf is a senior captain for Woodstock and one of the team’s best sprinters. He won both the 50 and 100 freestyles in a dual against Cary-Grove earlier this

Omid Babakhani

season.

Omid Babakhani Cary-Grove co-op, jr.

Babakhani is one of the Trojans’ top sprinters, swimming the 50 and 100 freestyle. During last season, he was also part of the 200 and 400 freestyle relay teams that won conference and qualified for state last year, though he didn’t end up swimming in them at the state meet.

ILLINOIS BASKETBALL COACHES ASSOCIATION HALL OF FAME

Heppner leads latest class into IBCA Hall

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com Bill Heppner’s assaults on backboards are legendary to this day.

The 1987 Crystal Lake Central graduate earned notoriety for breaking three glass backboards in consecutive games.

Once, in the Hampshire Holiday Tournament, the championship game had to be continued in a different gymnasium thanks to the 6-foot-8 Tigers’ center.

“That was fun,” Heppner said. “They didn’t have breakaway rims.”

Heppner had length and hops – a 38-inch vertical jump – and eventually earned McDonald’s All-American honors and a scholarship to DePaul. He will receive another title in April, that of Hall of Famer.

Heppner is one of five local inductees in this year’s Illinois Basketball Coaches Association Hall of Fame Class. Alden-Hebron’s Bill Schulz (1953), local officials Scott and Steve Massie, and former Marian Central athletic director and coach Hans Rokus also are going in.

The induction will take place May 6 at Illinois State Bill University in Normal.

Heppner Schulz already is in the IBCA Hall of Fame with the 1952 A-H team, one of the most famous state champion groups ever. The Giants were the smallest school, with an enrollment of 98 students, to ever win the Illinois basketball state championship in the one-class system.

Schulz, a 6-101/2 junior when the Giants beat Quincy, 64-59, in overtime for the 1952 title, went on to play at Northwestern.

Heppner will be the fourth Fox Valley Conference player to enter the Hall, joining Woodstock’s Dan Hill (inducted in 1999), Dundee-Crown’s Gary Gliesmann (inducted 2002) and Jacobs’ Craig Wojas (inducted 2007).

Heppner averaged 22 points his senior season, 15 as a junior and 11 as a sophomore. Central athletic director Jeff Aldridge, who was Heppner’s teammate, remembered that Heppner would consistently win every sprint in practices.

“I was very motivated to be successful, I worked hard to be a good athlete and a good player,” said Heppner, who

Boys swimming: Team preview capsules CARY-GROVE CO-OP Coach: Scott Lattyak (first season) Last year: First at FVC meet, two-state qualifying relays and two individual qualifiers Top returners: Ethan Hare, Sr.; Omid Babakhani, Jr.; Connor Dolezal, Jr.; Peter Hankins Sr.; Nolan Hare, Jr.; Cameron Castro, So.; Kolin Fadden, So.; Noah Bengtson, So. Key newcomers: Cole Seeger, Fr.; Noah Siegmeier, Fr.; Donovan Phipps, Fr.; Peyton Richardson, Fr.; John Matthias, Fr. Noteworthy: The Trojans are looking for a 10th consecutive Fox Valley championship, but will have to replace three of their top swimmers from a year ago. “So far things have been going really great,” Lattyak said. “I’ve been very happy with how the team is working, strong drive, strong work ethic.

We’re coming back to try and take No. 10.”

HUNTLEY Coach: Brenda Czarnecki (second year) Last year: Fourth at FVC meet Key newcomers: Max Hagberg, Cameron Bentley, Evan Tocmo, Mark Vandy and Jack Harper Noteworthy: The Red Raiders got younger and deeper, losing four seniors from last year but gaining 11 freshmen.

Continued from page 1 Conference title. Senior Ethan Hare will lead the Trojans as the one returner from last year’s state freestyle relay team.

“The focus coming into the year was I’d say people stepping up to replace the couple very strong seniors that we graduated last year,” Hare said. “To an onlooker, it may have looked like we lost a lot of big talent, which we did; however, we’ve got a very strong freshman class, some of the other guys in various grade levels have stepped up very nicely and I’m very confident in the team. Winter-break training has

“We have a very young team with no seniors, so our outlook for the future looks bright,” Czarnecki said. The Red Raiders began the year with a win over IMSA and West Aurora, then fourth- and fifth-place finishes at invitationals.

JACOBS CO-OP Coach: Jan Andresen Last year: Third at FVC meet Top returners: Gage Efken, Sr.; Reid Coyle, Jr.; Elijah Stuart, Jr.; Jack Van Wiel, Jr.; Eric Boysen, So.; Justin Lorenz, So.; Jim Spurny, So.; Jacob Carignan, So.; Harold Ogaban, So.; Wiktor Sereda, So. Key newcomers: Andrew Kania, Fr.; Caden Waddell, Fr.; Alec Orndahl, Fr. Noteworthy: The Golden Eagles are led by Ogaban, last year’s FVC newcomer of the year and a conference champion.

They went 2-2 in conference duals and won one invitational last year. It is a young team this season with just one senior and 22 out of 31 swimmers either freshmen or sophomores, and Andresen said he’s “looking forward to watching the team develop.”

been going great. Everyone is working really hard, so I’ve got no doubt in my mind that we’ll make a good showing come the end of the year.”

New coach Scott Lattyak said Hare has really embraced his leadership role, giving guidance to teammates so they can hopefully send multiple swimmers to state again.

“Personally, I’d like to do a full lineup (two individual events and relays) at state,” Hare said. “As far as the team goes, I was going through the lineup with Coach Lattyak, and I really think we have a shot to send an individual, or four individuals for a relay, in nearly every event. There’s just one or two events I think would probably be a bit

Last year: Second at FVC meet, two-state qualifying relays and two individual qualifiers Top returners: Riley Hedberg, So.; Josh Zabor, Sr.; Nathan Murrin, So.; Jonah Smith, Jr. Noteworthy: The Warriors lost three state qualifiers to graduation, including two-time Northwest Herald Swimmer of the Year Kevin Braun.

WOODSTOCK NORTH CO-OP Coach: Ian Shanahan (14th season) Last year: Fifth at FVC meet Top returners: Jeremy Wolf, Sr.; Jake Maher, Jr.; Ben Thuma, So.; Justin Kucharski, Sr.; Danny Blalock, Sr. Key newcomers: Matt Zinnen, Sr.; Logan Lorr, Fr. Nick Phillips, Fr.; Andrew Johnson, Fr. Noteworthy: The Woodstock co-op team is led senior captain Wolfs and Blalock. Shanahan said he’s pleased with the shape that many of his top swimmers are in from off-season training and he’s excited about the talented freshman joining the program, with the team’s numbers growing to 30 swimmers.

of a stretch, but I think this could be the widest and deepest state lineup that we’ve ever had, which would just be an awesome way to go.”

Lattyak knows the goals are ambitious, but he’s optimistic about what he’s seen so far.

“I know Rick [Schaefer] set like the all-time high last year with this team, so it’s big footsteps to follow.” Lattyak said. “But again the team is very aware of that and know it’s just a matter of them stepping up and then filling into those shoes that they thought were impossible to fill before. Because you know, they idolized the guys before them, the ones that made it to state on relays and Cooper Langanis, and

they’re eager to jump in and see if they can be that next guy. So that’s an exciting place for them, and I think a lot of them are capable of doing it.”

Challenging the top two teams in the FVC are Jacobs co-op, led by 201516 FVC Newcomer of the Year Harold Ogaban, Woodstock North co-op, led by senior captains Jeremy Wolf and senior Danny Blalock, and a young Huntley team.

The season picks up steam after the new year. The first conference dual of 2017 should be a good one, with Jacobs visiting Cary-Grove on Jan. 10. McHenry hosts Jacobs on Jan. 18. On Feb. 2, Woodstock North will face Jacobs and McHenry and Cary-Grove will meet.

BEARS VS. MINNESOTA, NOON, SUNDAY, FOX, AM-780, 105.9 FM

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush ground game – the Vikings rank 32nd in rushing yards and average gain a rush – plus he has one of the NFL’s shallowest receiving groups.

Stefon Diggs has 84 catches for 903 yards with a 10.8-yard average and three touchdowns. Kyle Rudolph has 72 catches for 723 yards with a 10.0-yard average and six TDs. Adam Thielen is third on the list in catches (68) while leading the team with 960 yards and a 14.1-yard average, plus five touchdowns. They are the only Vikings in the NFL’s top 70 pass catchers and none strike great fear in the hearts of secondaries.

Adrian Peterson won’t play and Jerick McKinnon and Matt Asiata haven’t gotten the job done.

So why are the Vikings five-point favorites despite the Bears pounding them, 20-10, on Halloween night?

Although its struggles the past 11 weeks, the defense still ranks second in the NFL in total defense and eighth in points allowed.

While the “D” has dropped off to 15th against the run and 17th in average gain per rush – which would seem to favor the Bears if they would take advantage of it – Minnesota is still fourth against the pass, sixth in sacks and sixth in turnover/takeaway ratio at plus-7, while the Bears are now 30th at an embarrassing minus-16.

Danielle Hunter, 22, a 2015 thirdround pick out of LSU, has emerged as the best young pass rushing end in the league with 12 sacks while sharing time with Everson Griffen and Brian Robison. Linval Joseph is still one of the best D-tackles in the game, and Harrison Smith, who’s nicked but should go, is one of the game’s top safeties.

The Vikings have not shown up the past two weeks in blowouts by the Colts (in Minnesota) and Green Bay. The question now is do they show up Sunday – because if they do, they win – or have they already gone home for the year?

Until Sunday, when Washington came to town on Christmas Eve and left Soldier Field with a gift of a mustwin all wrapped up and topped with a big bow, these young and badly battered Bears showed up every week and gave it their all in spite of an entire M.A.S.H. unit overflowing with their teammates and an offense that stubbornly refuses to play to its strength.

Going to Minnesota at 3-12 and knowing the only reward available for a win is a short flight back to Chicago and a couple of months off to ponder the disaster this season has been before returning in March for the offseason program, there is little reason to assume success.

Teams that are 3-12 rarely win their final games on the road. But stranger things have happened.

Should we assume the Minnesota Vikings would be playing to lock up their first-round playoff bye had they not lost their future hall of fame running back and top three offensive tackles for the season, rather than trying to win only their third game in their past 11 tries after an 5-0 start?

Or should we ponder how the Vikings’ injury woes on offense explain the fall of a defense that was the best in the league through five weeks, but has been ineffective and regularly gashed on the ground in recent weeks?

Finally, and most perplexing, why did the Vikings secondary, led by its two most solid citizens in Terence Newman and Xavier Rhodes, allegedly revolt against Mike Zimmer two weeks ago when Zimmer is believed to be one of the most respected “players coaches” in the league?

I’m not sure how predictive of the outcome of the game they’ll be, but there are a couple of things we do know about the Vikings: Unlike the Bears, the Vikings’ problems do not start at quarterback, where Sam Bradford has established himself as the man of the present and future. He has thrown for 3,627 yards, 19 touchdowns, only four interceptions and a 98.3 rating, and his 71.6 completion percentage has him on pace to break the NFL’s all-time record of 71.2 set by Drew Brees in 2011.

Bradford has accomplished all that behind a woeful offensive line that has allowed him to be sacked 37 times and given him the NFL’s worst

It may be Jeffery’s final game in a Bears uniform, and he’ll want to close the 2016 season by showing Ryan Pace and the rest of the league he deserves to be paid like a No. 1 receiver. With only two touchdowns this season and a four-game PED suspension on his franchise-tag-year resumé, Jeffery has one last chance to pad his stats.

Rhodes has something to prove after last week’s Minnesota secondary debacle (or mutiny, or miscommunication) that led to controversy for Mike Zimmer and plenty of yards for Jordy Nelson. A Pro Bowler, Rhodes is entering the final year of his contract in 2017 and is poised for a big, new contract, so he’ll also want to add to his 2016 season. The 6-foot-1 physical corner has 10 passes defensed and four interceptions this season. On Halloween, Jeffery had four catches on eight targets for 63 yards and a touchdown. With the teams having nothing to play for, the focus goes to the individuals, and the stars

for each team on the perimeter have a lot at stake in Sunday’s finale.

X-FACTOR LT Charles Leno: The only Bear to play every snap this season, it’s been up and down for the blind-side protector.

Dowell Loggains said that Leno still has fundamentals to improve upon in his pass sets. At times, we haven’t noticed Leno – which is a good thing for an O-lineman.

There have been crucial breakdowns, however, that have been glaring, such as Julius Peppers’ strip-sack in Week 15.

Leno will want to finish his first full year as a starter on a high note and prove to the Bears’ brass that they not need to invest in a left tackle this offseason. He’ll face a Vikings pass rush that is one of the best in the league with 39 sacks and 110 QB hits this season.

STAT TO KEEP IN MIND With 62 catches for 827 yards and four touchdowns, it’s Cameron Meredith – not Jeffery – who enters the season finale as the Bears’ leader in all receiving categories, and he wasn’t active for the first two games of the season.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF SEMIFINAL: PEACH BOWL (1) ALABAMA 24, (4) WASHINGTON 7

Alabama wears down Washington

By PAUL NEWBERRY The Associated Press

ATLANTA – For Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide, it would be unimaginable to end a season any other way.

Once again, they’ll be playing for a national title.

Going old school on playoff newcomer Washington, top-ranked Alabama relied on a stifling defense and the bruising runs of Bo Scarbrough to wear down the Huskies for a 24-7 victory Saturday in the Peach Bowl semifinal game.

Saban isn’t satisfied.

He never is.

“We’ve got more miles to go,” said Saban, who will be seeking his fifth national title in the last eight years at Alabama, a remarkable run that has stamped him perhaps the greatest coach in college football history.

The Crimson Tide (14-0) scored 10 points off turnovers, including Ryan Anderson’s interception return for a touchdown late in the first half, and Scarbrough’s 68-yard TD run in the fourth quarter finished off the Huskies.

Scarbrough totaled 180 yards and two scores, garnering offensive MVP honors.

Not bad for a backup.

“Whoever’s hot, that’s who’s going to get the ball,” Saban said. “He’s been hot lately and he’s going to get the ball.”

Seeking its second straight title, Alabama heads to Tampa, Florida, for the Jan. 9 championship game against Clemson, which defeated Ohio State, 31-0, in the Fiesta Bowl.

“We’re 1-0,” linebacker Reuben Foster said. “Now it’s time to focus on the next one and leave this behind us.”

No. 4 Washington (12-2) reached the College Football Playoff with a remarkable turnaround season after struggling much of the last two decades – including an 0-12 debacle in 2008.

But Jake Browning and the Huskies’ high-powered offense were no match for Alabama’s top-ranked defense, even after an impressive drive gave them an early 7-0 edge.

The Tide began to exert its dominance late in the first quarter when Anthony Averett stripped the ball away from John Ross on a screen pass. Jonathan Allen recovered, giving Alabama possession at the Washington 40 and setting up Adam Griffith’s 41yard field goal for a 10-7 lead.

Anderson made an even bigger defensive play with just over a minute to go in the half. With the blitzing Foster bearing down on him, Browning desperately heaved a pass into the flats for Lavon Coleman. But Anderson peeled off to make the pick, knocked Coleman over in the process and was off to the end zone on a 26-yard return that made it 17-7 at the half.

For Alabama, it was the 11th defensive touchdown of the season.

“That’s as good a defense as there is out there in college football,” Washington coach Chris Petersen said. “They played like it.”

Any hopes of a Washington comeback were snuffed out by Scarbrough, a starter at most schools but not for the deep, talented Tide. On a simple run-

STYMIED HUSKIES

Washington was held to a season-low for points and yards, even after a 64-yard opening drive capped

by Browning’s 16-yard TD pass to Dante Pettis.

The Huskies finished with 194 yards, below their previous low of 276 in a 26-13 loss to Southern Cal. That was also their lowest-scoring game of the season until they ran up against the Tide.

Browning finished 20 of 38 for just 150 yards. He was sacked five times and picked off twice.

HURTS STRUGGLES

Freshman quarterback Jalen Hurts had been a big part of the Alabama offense, but he didn’t have much of an impact in the Peach Bowl.

The youngster was 7 of 14 for 57 yards passing, Alabama head coach Nick Saban celebrates on stage after with three sacks. He ran 19 times for 50 yards.

ning play to the left, he appeared to be stopped by two players just short of the line of scrimmage.

But Scarbrough somehow managed to stay on his feet and – boom! – he was gone. Streaking down the field in front of the Alabama bench, he avoided another defender with a subtle deke, cut back toward the middle of the field at the Washington 30 and outran everyone to the end zone.

Scarbrough also scored Alabama’s first touchdown with a bruising, 18-yard run.

CHASING BEAR

Saban, who won a BCS championship at LSU, has a chance to join Bear Bryant as the only coaches to capture six national titles in the poll era.

To some, he’s already tied with the Bear.

One of Bryant’s titles came in 1973 when the Tide was voted No. 1 in the final coaches’ poll, which came out before the bowls.

Alabama lost in the Sugar Bowl to Notre Dame, handing the Fighting Irish the No. 1 spot in The Associated Press poll.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF SEMIFINAL: FIESTA BOWL – (2) CLEMSON 31, (3) OHIO STATE 0

By RALPH D. RUSSO The Associated Press

THE TAKEAWAY Ohio State: In a rebuilding year with

only six returning starters, the Buckeyes reached the playoff. Hard to call that a disappointment, but Ohio State’s issues on the offensive line and limitations in the passing game were badly exposed by a Clemson defensive line

• Sunday, January 1, 2017

GLENDALE, Ariz. – Deshaun Watson ran for two touchdowns and threw another and No. 3 Clemson crushed No. 2 Ohio State 31-0 Saturday night in the Fiesta Bowl to set up a rematch with Alabama for the College Football Playoff national championship.

Tigers coach Dabo Swinney had sold his team on making this a redemptive trip to the desert by winning at the site where they lost to Alabama in the national title game last season. With that taken care of, Clemson (13-1) now gets another crack at the top-ranked Crimson Tide in Tampa, Florida, on Jan. 9. The teams that started the season ranked Nos. 1 and 2 will most certainly ended it that way, too.

In what figures to be Watson’s final college game, he will try to lead Clemson to its first national title since 1981.

The junior and Heisman Trophy runner-up passed for 259 yards and ran for 57 against the Buckeyes (11-2), who could not keep Clemson’s big and quick defensive line out of their backfield.

Freshman Clelin Ferrell had a sack among his three tackles for loss and Clemson allowed only 215 yards and nine first downs. The Buckeyes were shut out for the first time since 1993 against Michigan and Urban Meyer had one of his teams held scoreless for the first time in 194 games as a head coach.

Watson made it 24-0 with 2:06 left in the third quarter when he faked a pitch, cut through a hole and into the end zone from 7 yards out. He hopped through the back of the end zone and did a little dance in front of the Ohio State section.

The rest was a formality.

Much the way Alabama’s defense suffocated Washington in the day’s first semifinal, Clemson gave Ohio State no options. The Buckeyes came in averaging 258 yards rushing per game and finished with 88. J.T. Barrett threw for 127 yards and was intercepted twice.

The sellout crowd at University of Phoenix Stadium of 71,279 had far more Ohio State scarlet than Clemson orange at kickoff, but by the halfway point in the fourth quarter Tigers fans mostly had the place to themselves.

Expect some Penn State fans to again start asking why Ohio State was picked for the playoff instead of the Big Ten champion Nittany Lions, who beat the Buckeyes in October.

Clemson: The Tigers seemed to spend much of the season trying to explain why they were not running roughshod over opponents. Expectations were so high after last season ended with stinging 45-40 loss in a classic national championship game against Alabama.

There were close calls for Clemson early in the season against Auburn and Troy and they needed some luck to beat North Carolina State in overtime. Watson was throwing more picks and an offense that welcomed back star receiver Mike Williams was not quite the unstoppable juggernaut so many expected.

But the best Clemson was the Clemson that showed up in the desert. And that Clemson has always been the team Clemson defensive end Clelin Ferrell sacks Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett during the second half of the Fiesta Bowl on Saturday in Glendale, Ariz. best equipped to beat Alabama.

COLLEGE BOWL ROUNDUP

The ASSOCIATED PRESS

TAXSLAYER BOWL Georgia Tech 33, Kentucky 18: At Jacksonville, Fla., Dedrick Mills ran for a ca-

reer-high 169 yards and a touchdown, Justin Thomas scored in his final college game and Georgia Tech beat Kentucky.

The Yellow Jackets (9-4) also got significant contributions from defense and special teams en route to their fourth consecutive victory.

Playing without running back Marcus Marshall, who decided to transfer after the regular-season finale, Tech turned to Mills. And the freshman from nearby Waycross, Georgia, delivered.

He carried a career-high 31 times as the Yellow Jackets won back-to-back bowl games for the first time in more than a decade.

Senior P.J. Davis returned a fumble 38 yards for a touchdown on the game’s opening drive, a horrible start for Kentucky (7-6) in its first bowl in six years.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS OMAHA, Neb. – Jalen Brunson scored a career-high 27 points, and No. 1 Villanova extended its school-record winning streak to 20 games with an 80-70 victory over No. 10 Creighton on Saturday.

The game marked only the second time in Big East history that two unbeaten teams met in a conference game, and it lived up to the hype until the Wildcats (14-0, 2-0) pulled away in the final minutes.

Kris Jenkins added 21 points and Josh Hart had 18 points and 10 rebounds for the defending national champions.

Marcus Foster led the Bluejays (131, 1-1) with 22 points. Justin Patton had 18 points and eight rebounds.

Virginia Tech 89, No. 5 Duke 75: At Blacksburg, Va., Justin Bibbs scored 18 points to lead Virginia Tech to the upset in the Atlantic Coast Conference opener for both teams.

Bibbs broke out of a seasonlong slump, hitting 6 of 9 from the field, including a season-high four 3-pointers for the Hokies (12-1, 1-0), who won their eighth straight game.

Virginia Tech snapped a nine-game losing streak to Duke (12-2, 0-1), which played without preseason All-America Grayson Allen, who was suspended indefinitely by Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski after tripping an Elon player on Dec. 21 – the third such incident in Allen’s career.

No. 6 Louisville 77, No. 16 Indiana 62: At Indianapolis, Donovan Mitchell scored a career-high 25 points and Deng Adel had 17 for Louisville.

The Cardinals (12-2) closed out their nonconference schedule with three wins over Top 20 teams.

OG Anunoby finished with 14 points and James Blackmon Jr. added 10 as the Hoosiers (10-4) lost for the second time in four days.

State roundup NIU 77, Illinois-Springfield 62: At DeKalb, Marin Maric scored 14 points and Northern Illinois closed out its nonconference schedule on a four-game win streak Saturday after posting a 77-62 win over Division II Illinois-Springfield.

NIU (8-5) posted a pair of wins in Florida, beating Florida International and South Florida – the first back-toback road wins of the season.

The Huskies shot 29 of 61 from the field (47.5 percent) for the game and forced 14 turnovers. Marshawn Wilson scored 11 points off the NIU bench and Jaylen Key added 10 points.

IUPUI 89, Western Illinois 71: At Indianapolis, Darell Combs scored 28 points for the third time this season and IUPUI pulled away late to beat Western Illinois to open Summit League play.

Matt O’Leary had 20 points and nine rebounds for his fifth 20-plus game this season for IUPUI (7-8).

Mike Miklusak scored a career-high 23 points for Western Illinois (4-9).

– Wire reports 63: At Atlanta, Josh Okogie scored 26 points and Ben Lammers had 11 points and 11 rebounds as Georgia Tech pulled off a major upset in the Atlantic Coast Conference opener for both teams.

Justin Jackson finished with 16 points and Nate Britt scored 13 for the Tar Heels, who committed a season-high 20 turnovers. North Carolina (12-3, 0-1) never led after Okogie hit two free throws with 11:59 remaining.

Josh Heath scored 15 points and Quinton Stephens had 11 for Georgia Tech (9-4, 1-0), the ACC’s youngest and least experienced teams.

He became acquainted with the medical and training staff, however, which helped lead him to work in the medical sales field. He is a sales director for Integra, a medical device company.

“I had a really good (high school) coach in Arnie Kay,” Heppner said.

“Ray Card was a really good sophomore coach, he definitely motivated me. The things he said and did to push me were really helpful.”

The Massies have officiated in several state tournaments. Steve has been calling high school games for

29 years, Scott for 28. Steve works in Rockford as a reproduction graphics manager, Scott is a quality manager at a manufacturing company in Elgin.

Former Jacobs coach Jim Hinkle helped push the Massies toward officiating; current Dundee-Crown coach Lance Huber nominated the brothers, who both attended D-C. “The Dundee Township needed people to ref kids’ games,” Scott said.

Bacon scored the last seven points during a 9-0 run for the Seminoles (141, 2-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) that turned a 51-49 deficit into a 56-51 lead, and then answered quickly after Kyle Guy’s 3-pointer had given Virginia a 58-57 lead with 8.8 seconds to play.

Guy scored 14 points and three others had 10 for Virginia (11-2, 1-1), which lost for just the second time in its last 37 ACC home games.

No. 17 Xavier 81, Georgetown 76: At Washington, D.C., Edmond Sumner scored a career-high 28 points on his birthday and J. P. Macura added 23 for Xavier.

The Musketeers (12-2, 2-0 Big East) trailed by six points early in the second half, but slowly chipped away at the deficit. Macura’s 3-pointer put Xavier up for good at 62-59 with 8:23 remaining and his two free throws capped a 13-5 run to give the Musketeers their largest lead, 72-64 with 3:58 remaining.

L.J. Peak scored 21 points for the Hoyas (8-6, 0-2).

No. 24 Notre Dame 78, Pittsburgh 77 (OT): At Pittsburgh, Steve Vasturia

knocked down a 3-pointer from the wing with 2.5 seconds left in overtime for Notre Dame.

The Panthers took a 77-75 lead on a runner by Jamel Artis with 41 seconds to play. Vasturia missed a shot but grabbed his own rebound with 21 seconds left. The Irish reset their offense and Vasturia ended up with the ball in the corner. He faked a shot, took a step to his right and made the 3-pointer right in front of the Notre Dame bench to quiet a raucous Petersen Events Center.

Bonzie Colson led the Fighting Irish (12-2, 1-0) with 21 points and 14 rebounds. Artis and Michael Young finished with 25 points each for Pitt (11-3, 0-1).

The Massies often work together.

Occasionally, their younger brother, Chris, is the third member of their crew.

ORLANDO, Fla. – Sophomore running back Derrius Guice ran for 138 yards, including a 70-yard touchdown, and caught a scoring pass to help No. 19 LSU beat No.15 Louisville, 29-9, in the Citrus Bowl.

Stepping in for the departed Leonard Fournette, Guice consistently made explosive plays running, receiving and returning kickoffs for the Tigers (8-4). His performance was eclipsed only by the overpowering performance of the Tigers defense that completely shut down Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Lamar Jackson and the Cardinals (9-4).

Jackson was sacked eight times, including a safety for an 8-yard loss late in the second quarter. Jackson completed just 10 of 27 passes for 153 yards while leading the rushing attack with 33 yards as the Cardinals (9-4) ended their season with three straight losses.

10 BUCKS 116, BULLS 96

Rondo sits as Bulls pounded

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com If there were any lingering questions on who is in charge when it comes to playing time, well, the usually mild-mannered Fred Hoiberg answered that on Saturday.

“In terms of the decision that was made, it was my decision,’’ Hoiberg said very matter-of-factly.

One night after benching veteran Rajon Rondo for the second half during the loss in Indiana, Hoiberg decided that it would be more permanent, starting Michael Carter-Williams at the point guard spot, as the Bulls lost to Milwaukee, 11696, at the United Center.

That meant that at least for now, what the Bulls touted as their version of a “Big Three’’ in Jimmy Butler, Dwyane Wade and Rondo, was down to just two.

Exactly how far was Rondo being buried on the bench?

That also became quite evident in the first quarter, as Hoiberg went with Jerian Grant as the back-up point guard and Rondo was the only Bulls player not to see the floor as they slipped to 16-18 on the year.

After the game, Rondo was asked

if that role continued for him would it also lead to the veteran asking to be elsewhere, and without hesitation responded, “Absolutely.’’

“I thought Michael has given us really good energy since he has been back [from injury],’’ Hoiberg said of the change.

“He’s done a good job of pushing the pace.

He gets up defensively. It’s the decision we decided to go with, and hopefully, it will pay off.’’

Hoiberg admittedly did have a meeting with Rondo on Saturday afternoon, not only to let him know about the decision to sit him, but also what he was hoping to get out of it.

“He was great, very professional,’’ Hoiberg said of the meeting. “We talked about accepting whatever role he has and helping our guys stay ready.’’

And now Rondo wants another meeting. He was scheduled to have a talk with Bulls general manager Gar Forman at some point Saturday night, likely to discuss his immediate future.

“No, I’m not surprised,’’ Rondo said of his benching. “It’s been a tough seaAP photo son for us right now. It’s been ups and downs, and certain buttons are being Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo drives to the basket past Bulls center Robin Lopez during the first half Saturday at the United Center. pushed.”

BLACKHAWKS

Hawks have plenty of outdoor experience for Winter Classic

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com ST. LOUIS – The whole novelty of the NHL’s outdoor games is the variability.

It’s the quirks – of the weather, of the rinks, of the sight lines, of the hype – that make the outdoor games different and fun. So even if the Winter Classic in St. Louis is somehow played Monday in between spurts of rain, or if it gets delayed a few hours, or even if it gets pushed a day because of the weather, the Blackhawks feel they can handle it.

“You never really know,” Jonathan Toews said. “Even if the conditions are next to perfect, it’s still different than being in an arena. We’ll be ready for whatever, and I think that’s part of it. That’s part of what’s fun about it.”

Easy for Toews to say. This is a guy who skated three-quarters the length of the rink and dangled his way to a highlight-reel goal through a half-inch of

snow in frigid temperatures at Soldier Field in 2014. In fact, he’s the NHL’s alltime leading scorer in outdoor games, with two goals and four assists in four games.

And that’s always been part of the Hawks’ built-in advantage for outdoor games. In theory, at least. The Winter Classic at Busch Stadium will be the fifth outdoor game for their longtime veterans. It’s their third Winter Classic (Wrigley Field in 2009 and Nationals Park in 2015) and it’s the fourth straight year they’ve played outside (Soldier Field in 2014, Minnesota’s TCF Bank Stadium last season).

Even some of the Hawks’ rookies have been there, done that. Vinnie Hinostroza played in last year’s game at Minnesota, and Tyler Motte played college games at Comerica Park in Detroit and at Soldier Field.

“It’s always exciting getting involved in an outdoor game, even though they’ve

become more popular in recent years,” Motte said. “It’s not a new concept for me, but playing in one on this stage, at this level, definitely will be exciting.”

The Hawks have dealt with cold and with snow and with sun glare in their previous outdoor games. This year, they’ll have to contend with something more troubling – a slump. They’ve lost four of their last five games and watched as their Central Division lead all but disappeared thanks to the scorching-hot Wild. Given that, their opponent, and their 1-3-0 record outdoors – including last season’s lopsided 6-1 loss to Minnesota – and the Winter Classic is more than just a novelty. It’s a suddenly meaningful game in the middle of the regular season.

“You just look at the last number of outdoor games that we’ve played, our record hasn’t been that great,” Toews said. “We can look at it that way and add to the fact that they’re big points for us

within our division with St. Louis and Minnesota really close to us. We obviously want to start getting on the winning trend again.”

Despite all their experience and all the jokes in hockey circles about how often the Hawks play outside – after this season’s slate, seven teams will still be waiting for their first chance – the cool-factor hasn’t worn off. It’s still only once a year, and players still look forward to the break in their monotonous regular-season routine.

“It’ll be my first one, so I’m really excited for it,” said Ryan Hartman, who missed one at Comerica with his junior team three years ago because he was playing in the World Juniors. “It’ll be fun. Hopefully, it’s not too grueling with the weather, and hopefully we get a nice day. I know I’m excited, and I’m sure all the young guys are, too.”

The older guys, too. Even the oldest guy.

Questions? Email trkerth@yahoo.com

Ripples in the pond come back I recently got an email from a man I didn’t know. Though we had never met, he explained, he felt he knew me well.

He sent me the note because a lady he knew had just given him a copy of a column I had written some four years ago.

The article, he explained, was entitled “Sing along: Do you believe in magic?” The lady had given it to him because he is a musician who had just finished a performance, and the lady felt my article was important enough to share with musicians such as him – important enough, in fact, that before she went to musical performances she made sure she brought along copies of the article to share with others.

I was, as you might imagine, shocked, humbled and grateful …

But also flabbergasted, puzzled and embarrassed, because try as I might, I couldn’t remember what my article was about. I dug through my files, found it and reread it for the first time in four years.

It made sense she would share it with a musician whose music she loved, because my article was about the power of music, a power that approaches the force of magic. In it, I discussed my wife’s stroke, which has robbed her of all ability to speak – but not of the ability to sing. The magic of music is so powerful it often can be used to help stutterers and stroke victims regain normal speech.

Sadly, my wife’s stroke was severe enough that music therapy offers limited hope for her to ever regain speech.

Still, she can sing songs she learned before her stroke (“Happy Birthday,” the Hamm’s beer “Land of Sky Blue Waters” commercial, Jimmy Buffet songs on the radio), and her singing makes me sing along with a smile on my face.

I don’t know why that column struck that lady so forcefully she would save it, copy it and pass it around to others she thought should see it. Maybe she or someone she knew suffered from speech problems and could benefit from it. I don’t know.

But how could I forget I had written it?

Well, if you’ve ever been a full-time caregiver, you know magic sometimes must take a back seat to other more pressing matters – like laundry or lunch.

All I know is I am humbled by the realization that you may never know

“In an envelope taped to the door was a note from them, wishing my wife a Merry Christmas, telling her they loved her. Those children have never heard my wife say a single word to them, because her stoke came before they were born. Yet they have looked into her eyes and seen the love and joy she feels when she sees them, and they make sure to let her see their love in return.” what long-lasting effect your words or actions might engender. Had that man not emailed me, I never would have known whether anybody had ever cared about – or had even read – that long-ago column. My words, once spoken, might just as well have drifted into thin air like dissipating smoke.

Or, as it turns out, they might have fallen like a pebble into still waters, sending ripples outward in ever-widening circles, each ripple striking some other stone and sending circles rippling in still more directions.

You never know … until you know.

A few weeks before I got that email, sometime before Christmas, my wife and I were out at the store, and when we returned home we found something taped to our front door. It was a little Christmas tree cut out of construction paper, with two little construction-paper children smiling next to it – a gift from the twin 6-year-olds who live across the street. In an envelope taped to the door was a note from them, wishing my wife a Merry Christmas, telling her they loved her.

Those children have never heard my wife say a single word to them, because her stroke came before they were born.

Yet they have looked into her eyes and seen the love and joy she feels when she sees them, and they make sure to let her see their love in return. … ripples in the pond, making more ripples in the pond …

They have never asked why she can’t make words – a simple skill they and everybody else they know can do – but it doesn’t seem to matter to them.

They surely must be curious, so their parents probably have had pri-

vate discussions with them to explain, because their parents are kind, caring young people who are committed to raising their children to also be kind and caring to people who are different from them. … ripples in the pond ….

The kids stopped by a week or so later to drop off some banana bread they had baked for us, and when I invited them in to give them some little presents we had wrapped for them, they were surprised to see their homemade Christmas note taped to the side of our refrigerator.

“Of course we kept it,” I told them, and they smiled, pleased the little ripples they had caused in our pond were not only noticed, but valued.

They sang Christmas carols to her, and she sang along – the first words they have ever heard her speak.

Magic.

A magic they would not have seen without music – or without kindness and caring, like the pebble of love they drop into their carols and cards to her.

Christmas has passed for this year.

It is time to pack the decorations away.

We’ll pull them out again next year when December rolls around.

And when the kids stop by next year to drop off some cookies for my wife to enjoy, or maybe to sing a carol or two with her, they’ll see that homemade card they drew so long ago, hanging once again on our refrigerator.

And they will see – as we have seen – that how we treat others matters.

Ripples that we send to others will somehow return to us in kind. It may take years for us to find out, and sometimes we might never really find out at all. But the ripples we send out will make a difference, one way or another, for better or for worse.

We can ignore others, and be ignored. That would be a ripple.

We can feel uncomfortable around those who are different, and make them feel uncomfortable around us.

That too would be a ripple.

Or we can love others, and be loved.

The old year is over. A new year awaits ahead. May all your ripples – both going and coming – be gentle and kind.

RETHINK, RENEW 4 HOME PROJECTS FOR JANUARY

T

By MELISSA RAYWORTH • The Associated Press

he days after the holiday guests have gone home and the decorations have been put away can be clarifying. Suddenly, rooms that have been crowded with people and gifts have empty space and breathing room. There’s something about the quiet weeks after New Year’s that can be perfect for rethinking basics like the location of living room furniture or whether bookshelves should be reorganized. Designer Betsy Burnham, founder of Los Angeles’ Burnham Design, and two other experts – New York-based designer and crafter Meg Allan Cole, and HGTV.com managing editor Camille Smith – suggest redecorating projects than can be tackled with little or no expense on a January weekend.

Making high stakes New Year’s resolutions Our annual New Year’s Eve poker tournament was in full swing. We had been playing for three hours.

“How about we raise the blinds to kick this game into high gear?” Marty asked, holding the deck in his hand.

Everyone agreed, except Reggie, who had the smallest pile of chips.

“You’re outvoted, Reg,” Stan said.

“The blinds should move up to … $1 small blind and $2 big blind.”

We all took big gulps of our whiskeys. I pulled down the shade to the window that overlooked the street.

Now that our game had hit such never-before-seen high stakes, surely we would attract the attention of local law enforcement.

Marty dealt two down cards to me and the other four players. I took a quick peek at my cards. Two Jacks.

“So, what are your New Year’s resolutions this year, guys?” I asked.

“Resolutions? Really? For amateurs only,” Doc said. “You know only 8 percent of people that make them ever keep them. And they often have a boomerang effect. Social psychologists say making a lofty goal and failing in short order only leads to self-loathing, and as a coping mechanism, the bad habit you were trying to eradicate comes back with a vengeance.”

Although he usually was right, Doc was always such a downer with his facts and science and common sense. It was the main reason we never invited him to any new Star Wars premieres.

Hal immediately chimed in, “That’s easy. Learn Bengali.”

“Bengali? For what?” Reggie said.

“The seventh most widely spoken language in the world,” Hal informed.

“193 million speakers. Good for global commerce and steeped in culture.”

Hal was one of those 8 percent who would follow through on his resolution.

Every year he undertook an equally daunting challenge. Last year he read every Shakespearean play … in Latin.

We knew making fun of him would only give him more resolve. Instead, being the underachievers we are, we ignored him.

“Anyone else?” I asked.

Marty dealt out the flop: King, 10, 4. Then he said, “I’m going to lose 50 pounds this year!”

“The same 50 pounds you’ve been going to lose for the last 10 years?” Stan said.

Marty tried to hide his large belly by covering it with his two hole cards.

“Well, this year’s different,” he defended. “I bought a treadmill.”

We all laughed. Just as we knew Hal would succeed, we knew Marty would diet for one week, put his treadmill on Craigslist for half the purchase price and give up.

“What about you, Stan the Man?” I asked.

“I don’t know. Either quit smoking or quit drinking. I haven’t decided yet.

Definitely not both,” Stan said, flicking the ash off his cigarette and taking a sip of his Scotch.

Marty dealt the turn: another King.

Things were looking interesting.

Everyone stayed in for a healthy round

of betting.

“What’s your resolution, Reginald?”

I asked.

“Probably to not go out to dinner as much. Saves some money, and it’s more healthy.”

We all knew Reggie would fail, but not for the same reasons as Marty.

Reggie’s wife, Mitzi, was a horrible cook. What she didn’t burn, she undercooked. And everything tasted like she seasoned it with linoleum. Reggie wouldn’t last two days.

“OK, Larry King, what’s on your resolution list?” Marty asked me just before he dealt the river: a Jack.

I stared at the Jack, but not too long.

I looked at my hole cards again.

Nonchalantly, I answered, “Oh, to get organized this year.”

They all broke into laughter.

“I’ve seen your office. You have papers stacked to the ceiling, probably dating back to the Roosevelt administration. It’ll take you a year just to haul that stuff to the curb,” Stan said.

“And your garage – you haven’t parked your cars in there since you moved in,” Reggie added.

Clearly they were jealous because I was about to send them all home penniless. I bet $10. “Well, it’s worth a try.”

Both Reggie and Hal called me. Stan folded.

Doc raised $15, then said, “You know the best way you could get organized? Start by returning my cordless drill.”

“And, how about my chainsaw?”

Reggie asked.

“Yeah, come to think of it, I haven’t seen my aluminum ladder since 2013.

You almost done with it?” Hal hopped on.

Then Stan complained about all of his DeWalt power tools he lent me.

Marty demanded the return of his circular saw, hedge trimmer and weed whacker. Reggie suddenly also wanted back his Craftsmen socket set he hadn’t seen in years. Some neighbors.

“Done. That’s my resolution. I will return all borrowed items.” A bold resolution, but with my winnings from this pot, I could afford to buy all new tools. I pushed all of my chips to the center. Everyone folded, except Doc. “All in,” Doc said.

I laid my cards down. “Full house!

Jacks full of Kings!” I started to gather my winnings.

“Not so fast, neighbor,” Doc said, turning over his cards. “Four Kings.”

Doc scooped the pile of chips toward him. “A tidy little bounty for me and all our tools back, per your resolution.

What a great way to close out 2016!”

They all toasted Doc, while I resolved the next year to making all repairs, by hand, with my hammer and lone Phillips screwdriver. Resolutions are for amateurs.

Where to sell your unwanted stuff online and earn extra cash

By JOSEPH PISANI

The Associated Press

NEW YORK – If you’re cleaning out your closets for the new year, or need some spare cash after the holidays, your old stuff can help fill up your wallet.

A number of websites and apps make it easier to sell used smartphones, furniture and clothes. Here’s where to go to sell your unwanted stuff and earn some extra bucks:

Gadgets

If you got the latest tablet or smartphone during the holidays, don’t let the old ones go to the forgotten junk drawer. Gazelle and NextWorth will buy your unwanted electronics depending on its condition.

Recently, Gazelle was offering $215 for an iPhone 6s in good condition on Verizon’s cellphone network.

Other options include Apple, which will pay you in Apple Store gift cards for some products. Retailers

Target and Best Buy will take your electronics online or at some of its stores in exchange for gift cards. You also can try selling unwanted electronics on Facebook’s recently launched free marketplace.

photos in the listing, and measurements of the items, can help them better attract a buyer. But with those options, only accept cash or online payments, since requests to pay by check can be a sign of a scam.

Clothing

Gift cards

For women’s, men’s or children’s clothing, there’s Poshmark. The company charges $2.95 for items sold for under $15 and takes 20 percent for items sold for more than $15. With ThredUP, the website will send you a box to fill with brand-name women’s or children’s clothing it tries to sell for you. You can keep 5 percent to as much as 80 percent of the amount an item is sold for, depending on the sell price. At Tradesy, you can list designer bags, shoes and clothing, with Tradesy taking up to 17.8 percent.

Furniture

For couches, mirrors and other household items, try Craigslist or Facebook marketplace. Some good

If you got a gift card over the holidays you know you won’t use, you can sell them at a number of sites, including CardCash, Cardpool and Giftcard Zen. How much money you get depends on a number of factors, including how likely someone else will want to buy it from the gift card seller. Recently, CardCash was offering $87 for a $100 gift card from Target, a $13 loss.

Toys

For unopened toys such as Lego sets or American Doll dresses, try the Brian’s Toys website. It will quote you the price it will pay on its site, or download the Brian’s Toys app, which lets you scan the toy’s barcode for a quote.

An unintended bucket list Just before the holidays, I was going through photos from the year on my phone to print for my mom as part of her Christmas present. She is not on Facebook and appreciates pictures of her grandchildren more than anything else.

I was stressed out and short on sleep with a million things on my list.

Turns out, sorting through 1,000+ photos was a good exercise because it made me think about the moments that counted in 2016. There were some bucket list moments, including the ones that came to us unintentionally.

Those are my favorites.

The first one was a trip to Red Rocks Amphitheatre in July to see the Avett Brothers, which is really more like a “two for one” bucket list deal. It was a tough time for us. We had just lost my husband’s dad and were in Colorado with his sister’s family for a long weekend we had planned months earlier. It was an important time for all of us to be together, and one night while our kids were entertaining their grandma, my brother- and sister-inlaw took my husband and me to Red Rocks to see one of their favorite bands. The concert was something that came up rather last minute. It was surreal for me, as someone who had dreamed about going there after watching MTV videos of U2 performing at Red Rocks in the 1980s. I never thought I’d actually get there. It was spectacular. I also had no idea how much I’d enjoy the Avett Brothers. If you are unfamiliar with their music, as I was, watch their live performance of “Talk on Indolence” sometime.

Amazing. My father-in-law was the biggest music fan I knew, and I couldn’t help but think of how much it would have pleased him to know we were there together.

Next stop on the unintended bucket list was also in the mountains, but about 1,400 miles away in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, where we road-tripped with two other families from Woodstock over Columbus Day weekend. It was a blast. Our plan for the final day was to do a short hike in the Smokeys, followed by a late lunch and one last family night back at the cabin. We got a later start, as people do when getting eight kids – ages 5 through 13 – up and out the door. We also decided, without a lot of thought, to take the more strenuous Rainbow Falls trail

when we couldn’t find the entrance to the shorter one we originally had chosen. It took some bribing and lots of patience to keep our two youngest hikers on their own feet – “You said we were going on a hike! This is just a long walking trip!” – but we were determined, and they were troopers. A few hours and many both comical and painful moments later, we reached our destination. It was beautiful. Then my daughter stepped in ice cold water hopping between some rocks and soaked her shoes and socks. That made for a long trip back down the mountain, but she did it, and I was proud of her.

We never intended to hike 6 miles, but that we did by the time we got back to our cars – a feat for Midwesterners like us. And the adventure didn’t end there. Driving out of the park, we saw a baby black bear on the edge of the woods and again, without much thought, got out with our kids and other tourists to take pictures. Thankfully, we all survived. We finished the day with a ride on the Gatlinburg Mountain Coaster (also great for the bucket list), a final big dinner at the cabin and Pieface with the kids. I consider it one of our best family days and hope my kids will remember it that way, too.

Also on my bucket list from 2016 is starting this blog last February. I never intended to write a parenting blog but am grateful for having the opportunity. I am grateful to my kids, as well, for providing loads of material, and I vow to write about our crazy lives responsibly and respectfully.

It’s been a great creative outlet for me and an interesting challenge, including finding time to blog (gymnastics practice and car trips back and forth to sports tournaments are ideal) and finding a device to type on since my kids steal all of mine. For example, I started writing this post on our Mac but got bumped to the iPad mini with a semi-functional keyboard and am now back on the Mac. Thanks for reading along. Best wishes for health, happiness and many bucket list opportunities (both intentional and unintentional) in the new year.

Teacher changes trajectory of troubled teen’s life and manipulating. These were Martin’s life skills as he entered middle school.

He found complaining was always a good way to stir up attention and make friends who also liked to complain, later to gossip and finally to bully.

Martin’s life skills were a magnet for others with the same skill-set. His pals were other kids with insecurities, low self-esteem, confusion and often difficult family situations. Martin had no idea there were problems, much less solutions, until he got into a scrape with another student, was sent to the dean’s office and met a teacher who would help to change his life.

“Mr. Johnson” was the teacher assigned to handle students with behavioral and emotional problems at Martin’s school. At first Martin

thought it was punishment, but soon found Mr. Johnson was a good listener, kind, consistent and at the same time didn’t tolerate misbehavior.

Over the course of the next two school years, Martin came to trust and respect Mr. Johnson. He talked to him regularly and actually listened to his guidance. He started to see he had some value, and his grades began to improve.

Even though his dad was getting worse, Martin began to be able to separate his problems from his dad’s.

He learned alcoholism was an illness and found some compassion for his dad’s hurtful actions. He complained less and took responsibility more. A number of his old friends began to fall away, and by his junior year, Martin made the honor roll. His

progress had not been without some challenges – experimenting with weed and being caught at an underage drinking party – but overall the trajectory had been up.

Martin would fit the description of a kid who turned his life around, but it couldn’t have happened without the love and understanding of a teacher who saw the bigger picture and took an interest in a kid who most had given up on.

We’ve got you covered! Bring your ring in to the store and a sales associate will be happy to assist you. Turnaround time is generally 7-10 business days but overnight service is available.

Pendants Everyone loves a little dazzle around her neck but sometimes the chain that comes with your new pendant just isn’t the right length or thickness. We have a wide variety of chains in varying lengths as well as varying types of metal.

Watches Have a new watch that you would love to wear but it just doesn’t fit right? We can help with that! We have a generous selection of new watchbands or we can size the band that you already have (usually while you wait). We also do watch repairs and change Karly Bulinski Graduate Gemologist batteries.

Email jewelry questions to: Appraisals suzanne@steffansjewelers.com Did you know jewelry should be covered by insurance too?

“Martin’s” dad was an unpredictable alcoholic who drank daily. His mom ran off with another man when Martin was 8, and his two older brothers were active drug addicts.

His dad could be generous and kind or critical and cruel, and Martin received the majority of both ends of the emotional spectrum since the brothers were mostly absent. It was confusing for Martin because he loved his Dad and always tried to please, but what pleased him one day was criticized the next.

There was no hint of self-responsibility, self-awareness or willingness to change in Martin’s house. He learned blaming, whining, complaining and criticizing. He also learned escaping from difficulties, drinking, drug-taking

Life reviews: Examine the bigger picture As the new year dawns, and we face it with optimism or trepidation, depending on who we voted for in the last election, among other things, many of us will make resolutions that will last about five minutes.

Others of us, having been down that primrose path before, will, instead, take time for a look back at the year we have just finished, and some of us will go even further and reflect on a lifetime of years and try to figure out just what we have learned from our journey so far. I recommend knowing where you have been before charting a map to where you are going. In fact, I even more strongly recommend we review ourselves at least once a year, and sometimes more often than that.

For example, I do a review at the turn of the year, my birthday and on important anniversaries throughout my life (e.g. my kid’s birthdays, the anniversary of my parents’ deaths, the anniversaries of important dates in my relationship with my partner, and

always, always after a catastrophe.

Catastrophes happen a lot in life. They always bear close scrutiny.)

Some years ago, I decided to collect a photograph for every year I have been alive. The early years were easy.

I was the firstborn, and therefore the object of much recorded history via a Kodak Brownie camera and black and white film. Now, I sometimes have to think about what I want to memorialize about myself and the past year.

For example, in 2016 I had a photo made of me hosting a radio show for WHIH in Harvard. I have met exactly one person who has tuned in to that show, outside of members of my own family. It is humbling. It helps me to remember both who I am and who I am not. I have yet to learn what 2017 will teach me, but I’m looking forward to finding out.

If you decide to take on this project, I suggest you find a place and a time where you will have time to contemplate without interruption. Then, choose the most important things that

you experienced during the time period. Why were those important? What did you learn about yourself, other people? How were you changed? Are you better for the experience, or has it upset your notions of what life is all about? Going forward, how will you apply what you have discovered?

During the final year of his life, my father was doing this almost daily. He wanted to make sure he had not left anything important undone, unsaid, unforgiven. I treasure the memory of the conversations we had during that time, and wish he had written down some of his observations (or that I had). So, I write mine down. If someone in the future is curious about my own take on my life, they will have something to work with. And, as long as I keep trucking forward, so will I. This is what I have learned so far: • Play is as important as work.

• Forgiveness is necessary for happiness.

• Other people hurt, too, and we have to share their pain if we want to

share their joy.

• A sense of humor is necessary for human survival.

• Don’t believe everything you think. (Or read, for that matter.)

• Living in fear is bad for your soul.

• Every person you meet, especially those who rile you up, is a teacher.

• Ideas only can hurt you if you refuse to examine them.

• Jesus was right. Also Buddha, Jehovah, Allah, Krishna and The Great Spirit. In fact, every single one of us is right part of the time. (But not, as it happens, always when we think we are.)

What have you learned? Think about it. Write it down. Share it with somebody.

Author Spotlight JOHN DOMAGALSKI Hometown: Huntley Latest Book: “Under a Blood Red Sun: The Remarkable Story of PT Boats in the Philippines and the Rescue of General MacArthur” Publisher: Casemate Release Date: Dec. 14, 2016 What’s your new book about?

Seventy-five years ago, a group of American sailors departed the Brooklyn Navy Yard for a journey halfway around the world. The nearly 80 men and six small PT boats of Motor Torpedo Boat Squadron Three arrived in the Philippines in late September 1941.

Less than two months later, the sailors found themselves in a desperate situation on the front lines as World War II erupted in the Pacific.

“Under a Blood Red Sun” tells their story.

Where did the idea come from?

The idea came after learning of a World War IIera manuscript written by one of the sailors who was there. I obtained a copy from the National Museum of the Pacific War. It was a brilliant first-hand account believed to be previously unpublished. It started me off on a path of research that resulted in the wide variety of first-hand accounts used to write the book.

What genre is your book, and why were you drawn to it?

History / World War II. It is an area that I have written about in the past.

Who is the intended audience?

Anyone interested in World War II, American history or naval history will enjoy reading this book.

Why is this story important to you?

I have no personal connection to anyone involved in these events. However, the World War II generation is quickly fading away, and I think it is important their stories continue to live on as

time goes forward.

How long did it take you to write? What was your process?

The entire process took about two years.

The first year was spent doing research, which included a trip to the National Archives near Washington, D.C. The second year was writing and the never-ending process of proofreading and revisions.

The key to my process is to get as much of the research done first, make a basic outline and then just start writing.

What did you enjoy most about writing this book? What was the hardest part?

I really enjoyed writing the first draft, as it seemed to flow well right from the start. As with all my other book projects, proofreading is the hardest part – it seems like a never-ending process.

How are you publishing this book and why (traditional/indie/self-publishing)?

Traditional – I was fortunate enough to find publishers for all my book projects, so I never really considered any other options.

What is your education/background?

BA in marketing and MBA from Northern Illinois University. I have no formal training as a historian, but am just someone who likes history and writing.

How/why did you decide to write a book?

Although this story was well-known during World War II, it since has faded into history. I think it is a story worth telling again, with the use of some additional sources not available during wartime.

Who are your favorite authors?

James D. Hornfischer and Alex Kershaw – two great story tellers who write about World War II Pick one: Danielle Steel or John Grisham?

John Grisham

Pick one: Stephen King or Nicholas Sparks?

Stephen King Pick one: Ebooks or hard/paperbacks?

Hard/paperbacks Have you written anything else?

Yes – Numerous magazine articles and three other books: “Into the Dark Water,” “Sunk in Kula Gulf,” and “Lost at Guadalcanal.”

“UNDER A BLOOD RED SUN” RELEASE: Dec. 14, 2016 INFO: www.pacificwarauthor.com and http://a. co/8CAgMB2

What’s next for you?

I am writing some magazine articles – also on World War II. I definitely will write another book, but am not yet sure on the topic or timing.
