Authorities say the victim was tied up for several hours. Video footage shows the assailants taunting him with profanities against white people and President-elect Donald Trump.

A GoFundMe spokesman confirmed that the victim’s family is working with the company on the campaign.

OUTGOING STATE REP REFLECTS ON CAREER

‘‘

Tryon wrote 70 laws, among them closing property tax loophole

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

T

kcraver@shawmedia.com

here are a lot of things that state Rep. Mike Tryon will miss when his representation of McHenry County in Springfield officially ends Wednesday.

The politics that comes with running every two years and the associated fundraising, not so much.

Tryon, 61, decided not to run for re-election to the 66th Illinois House District, capping a political career that started almost 30 years ago with his 1988 election to the McHenry County Board.

“When you leave, they say it’s not the circus you miss, it’s the clowns, and that’s 100 percent true,” Tryon said.

Tryon, a supporter of term limits, decided to limit himself to 12 years and not seek a seventh term. Republican Allen Skillicorn, an East Dundee village trustee who prevailed in a contentious four-way GOP primary to succeed Tryon, won the election and will be sworn in Wednesday with the seating of the 100th General Assembly.

“I think eight years is not long enough, but I think it’s disingenuous to support term limits and then go beyond them,” Tryon said.

After 10 years on the County Board, members elected him board chairman, a seat he held for three two-year terms until voters in 2004 elected him to the Illinois House. He represented the 64th District, which then covered most of southeastern McHenry County, until

We saved taxpayers millions and millions of dollars, and closed a loophole that can never be used again.”

McHenry County Republican Party.

The hardest piece of legislation Tryon said he ever tackled happened during his first term, when he spearheaded a rewriting of the tax-cap law to address a controversy that arose in 2005 after voters in Huntley Community School District 158 approved a 55cent property tax increase.

permanently dedicated to particular programs, we can offer more of them more often, and it will be more efficient for everyone involved,” Bero said.

The library’s board of trustees unanimously approved the plans, designed by Dewberry architecture firm, at its meeting Dec. 15, Bero said.

Construction is expected to start in August, Bero said, and will take about 12 to 14 months to complete. Services will continue through construction, he said.

The estimated cost for the project is $7.4 million, Bero said. Most of the funds will come from the library’s reserves, with the rest of the debt being covered by the normal operation fund, he said.

Trustees had considered several options for the project to decide which

upgrades were needed. At one point, having less space for the library’s 260,000 copy book collection was discussed, Bero said.

“Yes, we still are a book collection; however, we have been for some time something more than that,” Bero said.

While the library has been shrinking its book collection over the last five years, there are no immediate plans to cut space for the collection during renovations, Bero said.

Library Board of Trustee President Erin Van Der Bosch said the board picked a plan that could be adaptable for future needs.

“The library’s just become so much more of a public meeting space, and a space to learn things,” Van Der Bosch said. “… We’re looking at how we can go forward and meet those needs as best as possible.”

Trial to begin for Zion man facing drug-induced homicide charge

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A trial will begin Monday for a Zion man accused of providing a fatal dose of heroin to 21-year-old Danielle Barzyk.

James F. Linder, 36, was charged in 2015 with drug-induced homicide, a Class X felony. Linder allegedly sold heroin to Cody N. Hillier, who later ingested the drugs with Barzyk in Algonquin.

Hillier alerted police when Barzyk had trouble breathing and James F. told officers she was having an asthLinder ma attack.

He later told police she had consumed about 10 hydrocodone pills, but by then it was too late. Barzyk was taken to Advocate Sherman Hospital in Elgin, where she was pronounced dead.

Algonquin police are equipped with Narcan, a medication that can reverse the fatal effects of a heroin overdose, but did not use it on Barzyk because they were acting on information that she was suffering from an asthma attack.

Hillier was charged after the incident and

pleaded guilty in May to unlawful possession and delivery of a controlled substance, a Class 4 felony and Class 2 felony, respectively. He was sentenced to two years of probation but has since violated the terms of his probation and is back in McHenry County Jail custody. He is expected to testify at trial.

Linder’s attorney, special public defender Hank Sugden, previously moved to dismiss the charges against his client, arguing that McHenry County isn’t the proper place to try the case because not every element of the alleged crime occurred in the area.

McHenry County Judge Sharon Prather denied Sugden’s motion and said the case would stay in McHenry County because the drugs were ingested in Algonquin.

State statute allows criminal cases to be tried where any element of the crime occurred, adding that Kane and Lake counties also would be proper, Prather said in her ruling.

Linder faces 15 to 30 years in prison if convicted of the charge. Based on prior convictions, he could receive an extended term sentence that would be 30 to 60 years in prison.

Prather will hear the case that is set to begin Monday and last the rest of the week.

The McHenry Area Chamber Board of Directors was charged during October’s retreat with establishing its goals for 2017. The board narrowed all discussed items down to three top goals to work through for the coming year.

Goal 1: New board member mentoring

The McHenry Area Chamber has 23 board members representing 20 different industries from the chamber membership. It was thought during the retreat that board members should be better equipped to do the job of representing their industries.

Suggestions were to create a new board member mentoring committee that would set board expectations and responsibilities each quarter, and accountability to meet those responsibilities.

Goal 2: Advocate for members

Goal 3: Maintain and attract members

The chamber is well aware that members who are successful get involved and stay involved with the chamber. The Board of Directors felt

Kay Rial Bates that the chamber needs to do a better job of “member on-boarding” to gain this involvement. During 2017, more of an effort will be given to why each member joined and whether we are meeting the member expectations, and, if not, how can we do so. Each new member will be followed up with by the board and ambassador group periodically to aid with business issues, training or encouragement to attend activities benefiting each business.

Committees, led by board members, will be meeting during 2017 to develop these goals, making this already strong chamber even stronger in 2017 and beyond. Should you have any interest in helping the chamber pursue these goals by serving on a short-term committee, please email kay@mchenrychamber.com.

McHenry Area Chamber of Commerce sets 2017 goals

“I’m going to miss not being there.

Rauner’s making it harder for me to leave, not easier. I love having a governor that can stop things and put his foot down.”

Mike Tryon

outgoing state representative, R-Crystal Lake

• TRYON

Continued from page A3 millions of dollars, and closed a loophole that can never be used again,” Tryon said.

The loophole closing is one of 70 laws that Tryon wrote. Lawmakers passed his initiative to create an online transparency portal that lists all state government salaries, contracts and expenditures. Illinois was among the first states to create one.

Another piece of legislation Tryon said he is proud of is the creation of county veterans’ courts. The specialized courts allow returning veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder or other service-related disabilities who commit nonviolent offenses to receive treatment and have charges dismissed upon successful completion of the program.

Upon being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in 2009, Tryon created the House Diabetes Caucus and passed a number of laws to improve the lives of diabetics, such as a law requiring schools to give assistance to students managing the disease. In some cases, Tryon said, diabetic kids who attended schools that did not have a nurse were shipped to another district school that did.

Tryon said he leaves behind a reputation of being a professional who could work across the aisle with Democrats who held the majority throughout his career.

“I passed 70 pieces of legislation as a minority member, not because I went down to Springfield and attacked. I challenged power, but did it professionally,” Tryon said.

But Tryon had a lighter side as a

lawmaker – he and several other state lawmakers play guitar in Boat Drink Caucus, a Jimmy Buffett-inspired tropical music band. The band got to open for blues singer Buddy Guy and country music star Toby Keith at Gov. Bruce Rauner’s inauguration. Tryon joked that the band’s “by-laws” are being amended to allow former lawmakers to participate.

As for Rauner, Tryon said he would have liked to stick around to help advance his “Turnaround Agenda.” Rauner and legislative Democrats have been stuck in a budget impasse since 2015.

“I’m going to miss not being there.

Rauner’s making it harder for me to leave, not easier. I love having a governor that can stop things and put his foot down,” Tryon said.

Tryon said he would like to continue to work in Springfield on issues that are near to his heart, such as mass transit, tax policy and the environment. Tryon owns two environmental testing and consulting services, and is a principal consultant for a third that provides well and septic evaluations for real estate agents and lenders.

“I’m very fortunate to have options.

One is just to kind of come back and work in my business and be invested in community activities and enjoy my life as a citizen rather than policymaker.

I’m good with that, and I’m good with working on policies I believe in, and I’m hopeful to be able to do public policy or public affairs work to some extent,” Tryon said.

Tryon lives in Crystal Lake with his wife, Cathy. They have a grown son and daughter, and one granddaughter.

The 66th District currently covers parts of Crystal Lake, Huntley, Lake in the Hills, Algonquin and Carpentersville.

STATE Thousands brave cold for tickets to Obama speech

By SARA BURNETT The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Thousands of people waited for hours in single-digit temperatures on Saturday to try to get a ticket to President Barack Obama’s farewell speech in his hometown of Chicago, saying they want to show their appreciation and soak in the final moments of his history-making presidency.

People began lining up well before sunrise for the 8 a.m. ticket distribution. The lines stretched for blocks and snarled traffic around McCormick Place, the sprawling convention center along Lake Michigan where Obama will speak on Tuesday night.

“You never know when something as huge or as phenomenal like this will happen again, so I was like, ‘I’m not missing this for nothing,’” said Umar Ibrahim, 28, who took the day off from his job as a city bus driver to snag a ticket, waking up at 3 a.m. to start the trek to the convention center.

“Just talking about it makes you beam,” he said as he clenched his ticket, grinning from ear-to-ear.

Obama’s final speech to the public will continue a tradition set in 1796 when George Washington addressed the American people for the last time as president. It will be followed by a “fam-

Illinois man hits 30-gallon mark for blood donations

MILLSTADT – An 82-year-old Illinois man who gave blood for the first time in the 1950s to help the war effort has hit the 30-gallon mark for donations.

The Belleville News-Democrat reported Marvin Skaer donated blood for the 240th time on Thursday at a Red Cross blood drive in Millstadt, near St. Louis.

Afterward, Red Cross volunteers gave him a cap and pin to commemorate the milestone.

Skaer said, “It’s the right thing to do.”

His mother took him to donate the first time in 1953, after his brother had been injured in the Korean War. Since then he’s donated consistently.

Airport gunman charged; U.S. seeks death penalty

By KELLI KENNEDY The Associated Press

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – The Iraq war veteran accused of killing five travelers and wounding six others at a busy international airport in Florida was charged Saturday and could face the death penalty if convicted.

Esteban Santiago, 26, told investigators that he planned the attack, buying a one-way ticket to the Fort Lauderdale airport, a federal complaint said. Authorities don’t know why he chose his target and have not ruled out terrorism.

Santiago was charged with an act of violence at an international airport resulting in death – which carries a maximum punishment of execution – and weapons charges.

“Today’s charges represent the gravity of the situation and reflect the commitment of federal, state and local law enforcement personnel to continually protect the community and prosecute those who target our residents and visitors,” U.S Attorney Wifredo Ferrer said.

Authorities said during a news conference that they had interviewed roughly 175 people, including a lengthy interrogation with the cooperative suspect, a former National Guard soldier from Alaska. Flights had resumed at the Fort Lauderdale airport after the bloodshed, though the terminal where the shooting happened remained closed.

Santiago spoke to investigators for several hours after he opened fire with a Walther 9mm semi-automatic handgun that he appears to have legally checked on a flight from Alaska.

He had two magazines with him and emptied both of them, firing about 15 rounds, before he was arrested, the complaint said.

“We have not identified any triggers that would have caused this attack. We’re pursuing all angles on what prompted him to carry out this horrific attack,” FBI Agent George Piro said.

Investigators are combing through social media and other information to determine San-

tiago’s motive, and it’s too early to say whether terrorism played a role, Piro said. In November, Santiago had walked into an FBI field office in Alaska saying the U.S. government was controlling his mind and forcing him to watch Islamic State group videos, authorities said.

“He was a walk-in complaint. This is something that happens at FBI offices around the country every day,” FBI agent Marlin Ritzman said.

On that day, Santiago had a loaded magazine on him, but had left a gun in his vehicle, along with his newborn child, authorities said.

Officers seized the weapon and local officers took him to get a mental health evaluation. His girlfriend picked up the child.

On Dec. 8, the gun was returned to Santiago.

Authorities wouldn’t say whether it was the same gun used in the airport attack.

U.S. Attorney Karen Loeffler said Santiago would have been able to legally possess a gun because he had not been judged mentally ill, which is a higher standard than having an evaluation.

Santiago had not been placed on the U.S. no-fly list and appears to have acted alone, authorities said.

The attack sent panicked witnesses running out of the terminal and spilling onto the tarmac, baggage in hand. Others hid in bathroom stalls or crouched behind cars or anything else they could find as police and paramedics rushed in to help the wounded and establish whether there were any other gunmen.

Santiago had been discharged from the National Guard last year after being demoted for unsatisfactory performance. Bryan Santiago said Saturday that his brother had requested psychological help but received little assistance. Esteban Santiago said in August that he was hearing voices.

“How is it possible that the federal government knows, they hospitalize him for only four days, and then give him his weapon back?”

Bryan Santiago said.

Trump’s pick for intelligence chief spent years lobbying

By STEPHEN BRAUN and JULIE BYKOWICZ The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Former Sen. Dan Coats, in line to be national intelligence director, has swung back and forth between government service and lobbying, the type of Washington career that President-elect Donald Trump has mocked.

The Indiana Republican, 73, has made four spins through the capital’s revolving door and become wealthy.

Since the early 1980s, Coats either has served in government or earned money as a lobbyist and board director. His most recently available Senate financial disclosure, from 2014, shows he had a net worth of more than $12 million.

In and out of government, Coats dealt with intelligence, which he would oversee for the Trump administration if confirmed by the Senate. Announcing his selection Saturday, Trump cited Coats’ “deep subject matter expertise and sound judgment” and government service but did not mention his lobbying.

When Coats first left the Senate in 1999, he abided by the legally required yearlong cooling-off period before joining a firm that lobbied his former colleagues on behalf of foreign clients.

He resumed government service in 2001 as ambassador to Germany un-

In 2005, Coats returned to the United States, and to the influence industry, as a lobbyist on behalf of some of the country’s biggest companies, including defense contractor Lockheed Martin Corp. Five years later, he successfully ran for his old Senate seat.

“This is exactly how people outside of Washington think Washington works,” said Meredith McGehee, a chief

at the government watchdog group Issue One. “It’s the internecine nature of policymakers getting rich off the people they once regulated. And then to come back into the government – it can be a tough task for any person to basically now bite the hand that fed you.”

Trump aides stressed that Trump’s lobbying policies are foward-looking.

Spokesman Sean Spicer said Trump was hiring the most qualified people for

his administration.

Coats “recognizes the opportunity to serve outweighs any possibility of personal gain,” Spicer said.

If confirmed, Coats would head an agency created after the Sept. 11 attacks to improve coordination among U.S. spy and law enforcement agencies.

Coats isn’t the only one in Trump’s still-forming administration to work on both sides of the government power structure.

Robert Lighthizer, picked to be U.S. trade representative, spent years as a registered lobbyist, representing steel companies, among others, as recently as 2012. He joined the law firm Skadden in 1998, after having been at the trade office for two years during the Reagan administration.

Rick Perry, Trump’s choice as energy secretary, registered in Texas as a lobbyist for the country’s largest private dental insurance company a little over a year after leaving office as the state’s longtime governor.

When Trump talked on the campaign trail about “draining the swamp” of Washington – a catchphrase that remains popular at his rallies – he specifically denounced the revolving door between Capitol Hill and K Street, the hub of lobbying that attracts many ex-lawmakers.

• Sunday, January 8, 2017

It was a new look for the White House, bathed in rainbow colors to celebrate the Supreme Court decision allowing same-sex marriage nationwide.

President Barack Obama, who was inside, felt the glow on that June night in 2015.

“To see people gathered in the evening outside on a beautiful summer night, and to feel whole and to feel accepted, and to feel that they had a right to love – that was pretty cool,” he said a few days later.

“Pretty cool.”

That might be a fair description of how Obama himself is viewed by legions of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans who consider him – among all U.S. presidents – the greatest champion of their rights and well-being.

The relationship was slow in developing.

Obama took office in 2009 as a self-described “fierce advocate” for gay rights. Yet for much of his first term, he drew flak from impatient, skeptical activists who viewed him as too cautious, too politically expedient. They were frustrated he wouldn’t endorse same-sex marriage – Obama cagily said he was “evolving” – and wanted him to move faster on several other issues.

But the pace of Obama’s actions steadily accelerated.

In December 2010, he signed legislation enabling gays and lesbians to serve openly in the military. In 2011, he directed government agencies to combat LGBT rights abuses internationally. By May 2012, soon after Vice President Joe Biden set the example, Obama endorsed gay marriage.

His administration also stopped defending the Defense of Marriage Act, which denied federal recognition to same-sex couples. That move helped

clear the way for the Supreme Court’s historic same-sex marriage ruling in 2015.

In the nationwide marriage debate, Obama was not a pace-setter. A Gallup poll showed a majority of Americans supporting same-sex marriage a year before he did. But Obama didn’t pause at the stage. He continued throughout his two terms to find ways to support the LGBT community even when Congress was in partisan deadlock.

According to a tally by the Human Rights Campaign, Obama’s administration has made more than 125 changes to regulations and policies to expand LGBT rights, and Obama appointed more than 250 openly LGBT people to federal positions, including 15 judicial appointments and nine high-level diplomatic posts.

Kate Kendell, executive director of the National Center for Lesbian Rights, said the policy achievements tell only part of the story.

While supporters of LGBT-rights are extolling Obama’s record, some religious conservatives say the president went too far in some cases, infringing on the religious liberties of Americans whose faiths disapprove of same-sex marriage.

“The Obama administration has waged an aggressive and unnecessary culture war,” Ryan Anderson, a senior research fellow at The Heritage Foundation, wrote in a recent column.

He urged President-elect Donald Trump to make clear that his incoming administration “will never penalize any individual or institution because they believe and act on the belief that marriage is the union of husband and wife.”

OUR VIEW

Census data brings no joy Illinois certainly didn’t get much of a Christmas gift from the U.S. Census Bureau.

A report right before the holiday that the state’s population had fallen for a third straight year was more like a lump of coal in its Christmas stocking.

Illinois’ population, which stands at about 12.8 million, shed 37,508 people in 2016.

That’s after losing 22,194 people in 2015 and 7,391 in 2014.

We’re not growing anymore.

We’re shrinking.

Last year’s decline was driven by the excessively large number of Illinoisans who moved out of state – 114,144 to be exact. Newborns and newcomers, unfortunately, were unable to make up for the heavy rate of departures.

Why are people leaving?

A number of reasons, actually. High taxes. More and better employment opportunities elsewhere. An incompetent state government. Bad weather.

How does the outmigration of 114,144 Illinoisans compare to neighboring states?

Unfavorably.

Michigan, between July 2015 and July 2016, had an outmigration of 27,839.

Other outmigrations for the same period: Wisconsin, 12,395; Indiana, 12,135; Missouri, 6,250; and Iowa, 3,392.

Where does McHenry County stand in all this?

We’re losing population, too.

Between July 2010 and July 2015, McHenry County lost about 1,500 residents, according to the Census Bureau. The county’s population was estimated at 308,826 in July 2010 and 307,343 in July 2015.

Leaders in Illinois, in general, and McHenry County, specifically, need to be aware that whatever they’ve been doing to attract newcomers and keep current residents, it hasn’t been enough.

People will stay in areas that have plentiful opportunities for employment and good educations.

They’ll stay where they feel safe and where the quality of life is top-notch. They’ll stay if they believe they are receiving efficient government services at a fair rate of taxation.

If they can’t get those things here, they’ll pick up and move elsewhere – hence our declining population.

As the New Year progresses, we encourage leaders to study this problem, develop initiatives to deal with it, and always keep it in mind as they make decisions regarding the region’s future – a future that now entails fewer taxpayers, fewer fee payers, fewer consumers and fewer users of governmental services.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Guantanamo Bay resolution needed As the Obama administration makes a final push to reduce the number of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, President-elect Donald Trump is vowing to halt transfers, saying those remaining are “extremely dangerous people and should not be allowed back onto the battlefield.”

Mr. Trump’s latest Guantanamo remark, delivered in a tweet Tuesday, is consistent with his misguided campaign vow to keep the offshore prison open and “load it up with some bad dudes.”

He seems oblivious to the risks and costs that keeping the prison open, and perhaps expanding it, would entail.

This makes it imperative that the Obama administration spare no effort in its remaining days to release the roughly 18 detainees who are cleared for transfer to a handful of countries that have agreed to take them. That would leave about 40 detainees, down from the 780 men who have been held at the prison, which was created after the Sept. 11 attacks.

Among the detainees who would remain, three were convicted in the military commission system and seven have charges

pending before that commission.

Twenty-six are deemed too dangerous to release, but the government has no plans to prosecute them; officials have concluded prosecuting them would be nearly impossible because they have been held for years without trial and several were tortured while in custody. That assessment needs to be revisited. Holding these prisoners at Guantanamo forever is untenable for a nation that claims to adhere to the rule of law, and can only fuel the enmity of extremist groups around the world toward the United States.

Since 2009, Republicans in Congress have done everything possible to thwart President Barack Obama’s goal of shutting down Guantanamo. They opposed his plan to prosecute detainees in federal court and have imposed unreasonable rules for the release of inmates whom national security officials have cleared for transfer. They blocked a plan to move the prisoners to a facility in the United States, where holding them would be considerably cheaper. Operating the prison at Guantanamo, Cuba, has cost taxpayers more than $5.6 billion.

Republicans cloaked their opposition behind claims of national security, but it primarily was driven by antipathy toward Obama. Even with him leaving office, there is little reason to believe the Republican-led Congress will have any interest in hastening the end of Guantanamo.

This means challenges in the courts by the prisoners to wartime detention without trial is more important than ever. “Federal courts are going to be the last, best hope for the men at Guantanamo that Obama leaves behind,” said J. Wells Dixon, a lawyer at the Center for Constitutional Rights, which represents Guantanamo detainees. Unfortunately, a 2011 ruling by the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit made it significantly harder for Guantanamo detainees to challenge their detention in civilian courts.

The courts ought to take a fresh look at new legal claims in light of how long these men have been held, and the fact that soon, no one in the executive branch will be working toward a sensible resolution.

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

IT’S YOUR WRITE

County Board should not have removed Yensen as chair

To the Editor: It is appalling that Dr. Paula Yensen, an extremely qualified Democratic member of the County Board, was denied the position of chairwoman of the Public Health and Community Services Committee after being unanimously approved by the County Board’s Committee on Committees to serve as chair.

This action was taken in a very secretive and partisan way, with no one informing Dr. Yensen, who has four years of service on the Public Health Committee, in advance that there would be an attempt to replace her with Republican Charles Wheeler, who has only two years of service and a poor attendance record.

VIEWS Megan McArdle which helps make the work more bearable (and, by giving people pride in what they do, probably ensures that the work is better done). Suddenly abandoning something that has constituted a major part of who you are, and taking a job at the bottom of a new field, is not any easier for a machinist or a coal miner than it would be for a professional.

Besides, before we start blaming identity, we should also at least be willing to ask about capacity: How many men have the predisposition to be good at these sorts of “nurturing” professions?

As a female journalist who writes mostly about traditionally “male areas” such as economics and business, I should perhaps be expected to endorse a “blank slate” theory of male and female gender roles, where the preference for certain kinds of activities is driven by sexist socialization and discrimination, not innate ability. The problem is this doesn’t necessarily match up with the evidence.

Human children show gender-driven preferences for toys, as can be attested by those faultlessly progressive parents who have seen their boys turn their hands into a gun while their daughters make a doll out of an ear of corn. These preferences show up even in children too young to have gotten much socialization; they turn up even in rhesus

Dr. Yensen’s other qualifications include: · Chair of the County Board’s Management Services Committee and Stormwater Commission and vice-chair of the Transportation Committee. · More committee assignments (eight) than any other County Board member in the 2012-14 term. · As liaison from the Public Health Committee to the Mental Health Board for two years, she was instrumental in finding and eliminating excessive overhead. · 30 years of experience in leading nonprofit agencies, including agencies providing medical and mental health services to communities in Illinois, Michigan and Ohio.

monkeys, as males show a marked preference for wheeled toys over soft plush animals. I certainly believe that human society has a lot of sexist hangovers from its past. I draw the line at believing this hangover is influencing rhesus monkey infants.

So I think we have to take seriously the possibility many men aren’t just avoiding the caring professions because they look down on the things ladies do, but because many of them actually don’t have the aptitude and patience for nurturing and caregiving work that some women do.

Sex differences are a distribution, not a hard, bright line. For example, the women’s world record in the hundred-meter dash is slower than the U.S. high school boys’ record.

Men on average are faster than women. But the women at the top of the distribution – those Olympians – are still faster than most men.

It would be absurd to say a woman can’t run the hundred meter in 11 seconds, just because most women can’t. It would be equally absurd to say men are not, on average, faster than women.

So it’s possible the distribution of nurturing traits is skewed enough that fewer men will be good at the difficult and emotionally taxing job of providing intimate care for sick and needy people. While there are plenty of health care jobs that don’t require so much direct human interaction, they tend to require more training. And the ability to sit in a classroom and absorb material from a textbook is also a human trait that is unevenly and unfairly distributed.

It’s not that no men can succeed in transitioning from old-style “manly” jobs to the pink-collar professions, but that fewer men may be able to do so than we’d like to think.

This of course raises an uncomfortable question: What should men do if they have a hard time making that transition? Those manufacturing jobs are not coming back, even if Donald Trump shuts down trade with China, because a lot of them haven’t been lost to foreign competition but to competition from robots residing right here in the good ol’ U.S. of A. Unless we start a bunch of inefficient old-fashioned factories that exist solely for the purpose of providing people work, we’re going to need some sort of Plan B for many would-be workers.

I wish I had a better idea what Plan B was. But the solution that economists and policy wonks have been pushing for decades – more education and transition into service work – is manifestly not working for a lot of people. Indeed, it sounds a lot like professional identity politics: The experts say the solution to all problems is for everyone to be more like them. It may not be possible for an average man to turn himself into an average woman to suit the needs of the job market. If we can’t build a job market that offers opportunity and satisfaction for diverse abilities and identities, we may see a lot more convulsions of popular dissatisfaction like the one we witnessed last November.

Why can’t a woman be more like a man? Henry Higgins demands to know in “My Fair Lady.” These days, labor economists are asking the opposite question: Why can’t a man be more like a woman?

The decline of traditionally male blue-collar work like manufacturing has left many men adrift. There are growth industries, such as health care, where some of these men could get work. But they don’t seem to be taking advantages of the splendid opportunities to become home health care aides or day care workers. In part that’s because many of these jobs don’t start out paying as well as the manufacturing jobs these men have lost or had hoped to gain. But in part it seems to be because the work isn’t … well … manly enough.

“It’s not a skill mismatch, but an identity mismatch,” economist Lawrence Katz told the New York Times.

“It’s not that they couldn’t become a health worker, it’s that people have backward views of what their identity is.”

This seems unnecessarily dismissive. If Katz lost his job as an economist, and had to take one changing the diapers of elderly patients, I’ve no doubt he would find this emotionally difficult, but I wouldn’t say this is because his preferences for his current occupation are “backward.”

The patient-care work is necessary, and should be honored. It’s also, let’s be honest, much less pleasant than sitting in an office and writing about what other people should do with their working lives.

Moreover, people invest a lot in building up a professional identity,

MOVING TO MAIN STREET

More businesses choosing downtown locations in Illinois city of Anna

By MARILYN HALSTEAD

The (Carbondale) Southern Illinoisan ANNA – One current trend in business is to move downtown, as documented in a Smart Growth America report in June 2015.

The Illinois city of Anna is also seeing this trend.

Along South Main Street, new businesses have opened in the past year.

Also, several buildings have been sold,

and work is in progress to prepare them for new businesses.

Moury Bass, co-owner of WIBH Radio, knows a little something about doing business in downtown Anna. His father moved to the city about 20 miles south of Carbondale in 1950 and opened a clothing store at 330 S. Main St. Bass took over the clothing store in 1984. In 1997, the clothing store was closed and the radio station opened in the same building.

“The downtown has had its ups and downs,” he said. “It was a really booming downtown in ’60s and ’70s. Through the ’80s and ’90s things drifted to the east side. The past five or six years, people are opening downtown again.”

He credits Brick House Grill and Kiki’s Coffee for bringing people downtown again.

One of the newest businesses in downtown Anna is Jus 10’s Frozen Yogurt and Dessert, which opened Veter-

an’s Day at 334 S. Main St. Bryan Miller, who owns the business along with his fiancée, Mary K. Harris, said he would see the number of children walking up and down Main Street and think it would be nice if they had a place to go.

“We really just wanted it to be a safe place for kids to hang out,” Miller said. “I really feel when kids – and even

Initially, the couple thought they would be flooded with children, but they actually have more adult customers.

“I feel we have really brought something special to downtown,” Miller said. “We definitely found a niche for the street.”

Bass feels like one of the keys to the growth has been preserving the feel of the area.

“Instead of totally modernizing the building, Miller kept some of the oldtime feel to the building,” Bass said. “A lot of the businesses have done some

minor things to their buildings to make them more appealing.”

Others are investing in the downtown, too, like the city and Anna Chamber of Commerce. Miller said that when the city put sidewalks in, it gave the whole street a face-lift.

Bonni Littleton, director of Union County Chamber of Commerce, started just before Halloween.

“My goal while I am here is to perk up some of the businesses,” she said.

New Pacific fish farming plans underway

Critics say operations could further hurt vulnerable fish stocks

By CALEB JONES

The Associated Press HONOLULU – As traditional commercial fishing is threatening fish populations worldwide, U.S. officials are working on a plan to expand fish farming into federal waters around the Pacific Ocean.

The government sees the move toward aquaculture as a promising solution to overfishing and feeding a hungry planet. But some environmentalists say the industrial-scale farms could do more harm than good to overall fish stocks and ocean health.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is creating a plan to manage commercial fish farms in federal waters, the area of ocean from three to 200 miles offshore, around Hawaii and other Pacific islands.

The program is similar to one recently implemented by NOAA in the Gulf of Mexico. The farms in the Gulf and the Pacific would be the only aquaculture operations in U.S. federal waters, though there are smaller operations in state waters close to shore.

Fish farming has been practiced for centuries in Hawaii and around the world. But modern aquaculture, some environmentalists say, carries pollution risks and the potential for non-native farmed fish to escape and enter the natural ecosystem.

Most shellfish consumed in America comes from farms, and their methods are widely considered sustainable.

However, some farms that grow carnivorous fish such as salmon have raised concerns about sustainability because they use wild-caught fish to feed the captive species.

There are three ways to farm fish: fully contained land-based systems that pump water in and out with little, if any, environmental impact; nearshore operations incorporating natural and man-made elements; and offshore farms.

Former NOAA chief scientist and founder of ocean advocacy group Mission Blue Sylvia Earle said there are more environmentally sustainable and economically viable options than open-ocean aquaculture, which uses huge floating net-pens or submerged cages. “We have to make a choice with aquaculture,” she said. “Is our goal to feed a large number of people? Or is our goal to create or to serve a luxury market?”

Conservation International’s Luka Mossman, who restores and researches Native Hawaiian fishponds, walks along a barrier wall Dec. 2 on Heeia fishpond in Kaneohe, Hawaii. U.S. officials are working on a plan to expand fish farming into federal waters around the Pacific Ocean. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has been trying to establish an aquaculture industry in federal waters for many years. But attempts to get legislation to implement open-sea aquaculture have failed.

Last year, NOAA and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography put an economic value of $17 billion a year on the ocean off the west coasts of North and South America. That includes $4.3 billion from commercial and sport fishing and $12.9 billion for the capture of carbon.

Earle said the ocean is worth more, and no dollar figure can be attached to keeping the ocean, and in turn humans, healthy. “We now have recognition of other values of the ocean beyond what we can extract either for food or for products,” she said.

New technologies are being developed for open-ocean aquaculture, and many U.S. companies are sending their crews overseas to farm, according to NOAA officials.

“The U.S.’s view is we’d rather have these U.S. companies pursuing these opportunities in a sustainable, environmentally sound way in the U.S.,” said Michael Tosatto, NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service regional administrator.

The NOAA plan would create a regulatory and permitting scheme for the industry. “It’s reasonably common knowledge that the environmental laws are less where aquaculture occurs the most, [that] being China and

other Southeast Asia countries,” Tosatto said.

Many foreign operations have U.S. companies supplying the breed stock, then the fish are grown and sold back to the U.S. as imported seafood. U.S.farmed fish in 2014 was valued at $1.3 billion, Tosatto said, and constitutes 19 percent of the nation’s seafood production.

That amounts to only 1 percent of the global farmed product.

NOAA has been trying to establish an aquaculture industry in federal waters for many years. But attempts to get legislation to implement open-sea aquaculture have failed.

“And so [NOAA] moved into the fishery management process ... as a means to move forward with ocean aquaculture under the radar of the public,” said Marianne Cufone, executive director of the Recirculating Farms Coalition. NOAA received input from thousands of people during a public comment period last year on its plans.

Cufone’s New Orleans-based organization has been developing landbased aquaculture systems that are fully contained.

Cufone says these types of farms are more sustainable than ocean aqua-

culture, and Earle agrees.

“Controlled systems are the most promising,” Earle said. “I personally am wary of the open ocean approach to aquaculture.”

Meanwhile, NOAA says researchers off Hawaii’s Big Island are studying ways to make open ocean farming safe and efficient. They are studying different techniques and species to better understand probelms the industry could face.

Native Hawaiians have long practiced sustainable aquaculture. They build walls around shoreline areas, allowing fresh water from the mountains and salt water from the ocean to flow in and out. Fish enter through slotted gates, and can’t get back out.

The ponds are monitored to make sure they are healthy, mimicking nature.

“Our ancestors, they could ... sustainably feed themselves no problem,” said Luka Mossman, a Native Hawaiian who grew up working on a traditional fish pond and is now helping study and restore such ponds with the nonprofit environmental group Conservation International.

“You constantly watch how the natural system works, and you adapt to that. You don’t try and adapt the natural system to work for you,” he said.

Mood swings cause young teen to question emotions

Dear Abby: I am at the end of my wits, and I need some answers. I am almost 13 and dread being a teenager because I don’t want things to be complicated. I used to have depression and felt suicidal, but I never told anybody. I eventually got over it and am now physically fine. But I’m not emotionally stable.

Recently, I was told things I don’t know how to react to. Among them was, “Wow, your voice is deep,” and, “Your laugh sounds like a witch.” Most of the time I’m a happy-go-lucky person, but in the last few weeks I have been flickering from happy to sad and have no idea how I feel. It’s almost like I don’t know who I am anymore. I’m wondering, is this a mental disorder? Or am I simply being silly? – Confused Teen In The South Dear Confused: I do not think you are being silly. However, I do think you should have been discussing your feelings with your parents since the time

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips you began feeling depressed to the point of feeling suicidal.

Whether or not your mood swings are symptoms of something serious, I’m not qualified to say. But I hope you will show this letter to your parents and tell them you wrote it. If you do have some sort of mental disorder (which I doubt), the sooner you are properly diagnosed and treated, the better it will be for you.

Dear Abby: My wife and I attended a party hosted by a well-respected couple who love to entertain. They have a spotless, beautiful home and are the essence of what you would hope to find in party hosts. Upon our arrival, we were greeted

at the door, but before we could step inside, the stench of cat urine overpowered us. It was overwhelming, and we have to assume everyone else smelled it, too.

My wife and I are torn about to what to do. We have great respect for this couple. They are pillars of our community.

I say, to save future embarrassment, that an anonymous, carefully written note alerting them to this odor should be sent to them, saying a problem “may” exist and providing them the opportunity to resolve the smell. My wife says absolutely not. Your thoughts? – Feline

Blues In The Midwest Dear Feline Blues: If you lack the cour-

age to sign your name, do not send the letter. It isn’t unheard of that pet owners become so used to the odors in their homes they no longer smell them. Either address the problem head on – politely, of course – or refuse further invitations and invite the couple out instead.

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

Dear Abby: My daughter recently was married. A close family member – a cousin – gave her and our son-in-law a check at the reception. The check bounced.

It’s been more than a month since the check was returned to them, and I’m sure their bank charged them for the overdraft. I was waiting, hoping they would reach out to my daughter or me and send a replacement check.

Should I call my cousin directly? I feel deep down he must not know this happened because he would have done something about it. – Bounced Check In

New Jersey Dear B.C.: If you “know” deep down

this may have escaped your cousin’s notice, call him, let him know what happened and let him explain.

What to watch NFL wild-card playoffs: N.Y. Giants at Green Bay, 3:40 p.m., FOX Eli Manning and the Giants meet Aaron Rodgers and the Packers in the weekend’s marquee wild-card matchup. More on Page 9.

CRYSTAL LAKE – McHenry showed its versatility Saturday afternoon.

The Warriors boys basketball team took a halftime lead against Crystal Lake Central because of strong outside shooting, knocking down six shots from beyond the arc.

The Warriors didn’t make one in the second half, but found other ways to pull away from the Tigers in a 54-39 Fox Valley Conference road victory.

In the middle of the action in both halves was Gavin Markgraff, who made four 3-pointers en route to his game-high 20 points – a performance coach Tim Paddock is starting to realize could occur more often from his standout, 6-foot-4 junior.

“He can do it all. He can drive it, shoot it, post up and he’s just starting to figure it out,” Paddock said. “It’s fun watching him get more confident, and, yeah, he’s our guy. We run a lot of our offense through him. We’re fortunate right now that when he gets doubled, we have other guys that are able to score the ball.”

“Everyone on this team can make shots. It’s awesome,” Markgraff said.

“It all really started on the inside for us. Once we got good post-up looks, we fed it to the outside and had wide-open shots. I really just wanted to be in attack mode all game, and my teammates gave me the ball in good opportunities to score today.”

Another player who benefited from Markgraff knocking down shots, as well as strong McHenry (8-7, 4-1 FVC) defense, was Maki Mohr. Not only did he reach double figures with his 12 points, but he also had a couple of energizing dunks that quieted any hopes of a couple of Central comeback attempts.

McHenry caused 18 Central turnovers – seven in a third quarter to outscore the Tigers, 11-3 – which led to several easy baskets in transition.

“Every team is going to make shots and try and make runs, but we just try to stick to our game and try to find easy shots of our own,” Mohr said. “We can pretty much guard any team we play.

We’re just a solid defensive team and that’s what we’re good at.”

The Tigers (4-10, 0-5) were able to stay in the game for as long as they did, cutting their deficit to 11 on five separate occasions in the second half, thanks to a strong effort from Alex Timmerman.

The 6-8 sophomore finished with a team-high 19 points, the only Tiger to finish in double figures. Evan Cassell added nine, making the Tigers’ only 3-pointer in the team’s 12 attempts, as Central continues to struggle to find ways to score down the stretch.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL: ARKANSAS

R-B’s Wagner joins in Razorbacks’ bowl prep

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com Dalton Wagner was busier over the holiday break than most of the other students at Richmond-Burton.

Wagner, a senior football player who finished his graduation requirements, was allowed to practice with Arkansas’ football team during its preparation for the Belk Bowl, played Dec. 29 in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Wagner, a 6-foot-9, 315-pound offensive tackle, joined the Razorbacks for six days before they departed for the game. Under NCAA rules, those players leaving high school early can work out with bowl-bound teams, but they cannot travel with their teams to the games.

On Dec. 24, when Arkansas left for Charlotte, Wagner flew home for Christmas. Arkansas lost to Virginia Tech in the

Richmond-Burton senior Dalton Wagner (78) works at practice with two other Arkansas lineman recruits and coach Bret Bielema (left) and strength coach Ben Herbert (middle) over the holiday break in Fayetteville, Ark. Belk Bowl, 35-24, after taking a 24-0 lead. Other than that setback, Wagner was thrilled.

“It was amazing,” Wagner

said. “Unfortunately, I was unable to go to the bowl game.

The first two days we couldn’t wear pads, but we wore hel-

mets and did some stuff with the (tackling) dummies. At the end of the week we would pad up, which was awesome. That was an experience. I was able to see where I fit and everything.”

Wagner may be the most recruited player R-B ever has had. Rockets coach Pat Elder said former quarterback Adam Pittser got a lot of attention before his senior season when he competed in ESPN’s Elite 11 quarterback workouts, but Wagner’s attention came much sooner.

“It’s pretty beneficial for him to get his feet wet, get down there and see the older guys, how they operate, what their expectation is, and what things need to be done,” Elder said. “My initial reaction from him is that he liked it, thought it was good, and he’s eager to start classes and get into spring ball.”

Wagner was a Northwest

Herald All-Area first-team selection each of the past two seasons. He received a great deal of college interest as a junior and narrowed his choices to Arkansas and Indiana.

During last year’s spring semester, Wagner started considering finishing his requirements early so he could enroll in college in January this year.

It was something Arkansas offensive line coach Kurt Anderson, as well as other coaches, suggested during recruitment.

“I checked with our guidance counselor to see if I could do it,” Wagner said. “I took a couple classes online and the rest of my schedule kind of fell into place. I was good to go after that.”

Elder commends Wagner for his efforts. Wagner will return in May to attend commencement with his senior class.

All of the Wolves fell on their beam routines, which was their last event, but they held on to win with 146.525 points. Carmel was second with 146.075.

“Our last meet on beam, we went 37.5, we had a 9.3, 9.4, 9.5,” Battaglia said. “It was phenomenal, our highest-scoring event (in that meet). Seeing it go from there to there (34.85 on Saturday) is kind of hard. I’m a little more upset with floor, that’s a little problem we have. We have to work that out.”

Battaglia was happy for Karlblom nearly taking the all-around. Wolves assistant coach Lisa Rumford said they always count on Karlblom for four consistent scores.

“She was one foul on beam away from a 38,” he said. “Kira really has a lot of talent; she has the capabilities of winning. She’s a tough little gymnast. If she continues to work hard, she’ll be right there in the state meet, too.”

Continued from page 3 “I was glad he could work it out where he could do that,” Elder said. “He really did a great job of balancing both. He was unbelievably loyal to R-B, he did everything he could for his football team to help it be successful, and he was able to get things done to graduate early and move on to Arkansas. It will show in how well he’ll handle things as he goes through his college experience, too.”

Wagner has been studying his playbook and working out since he returned home from Fayetteville. The new players were evaluated by strength and conditioning coach Ben Herbert. Wagner is continuing his own workouts and conditioning until he gets to Arkansas around Jan. 15.

Butler scores 7 of his 42 points in overtime session

By JOE COWLEY

CHICAGO – The way Taj Gibson sees it, at some point the worrying just stops.

It has to.

Year after year, rumor after rumor, a player can get caught up in the hype of being in the trade recycling bin for only so long.

The choice becomes, let it eat you up or simply becoming numb to it.

That’s where the Bulls veteran big man is these days, and it looks like his teammates are following.

“Being in trade rumors means other teams want you, too, so it’s like half and half,” Gibson said of all the trade rumors surrounding the Bulls in the past few weeks. “It’s part of our business. I’m just numb to it because I get good feedback from my agent all the time. So I’m never really worried about what’s going on.

“Play the right way. We make a good living for what we do. So there’s always a positive about that.”

That attitude seems to be contagious, as the Bulls continued looking like a team that’s decided to just “play the right way.”

Behind a furious fourth-quarter comeback to overcome what was once a 19-point deficit to Toronto, the Bulls sent the game into overtime and then took over, beating the Raptors, 123-118, at the United Center.

It was their third straight win, and their fifth in their last seven, climbing back over the .500 mark with a 19-18 record.

Even more impressive, in beating the perceived second-best team in the Eastern Conference, it now gave the Bulls 10 straight wins over Toronto.

Thank Jimmy Butler. Again.

Butler scored seven of his 42 points in the extra stanza, including a ridiculous 3-pointer with 17.3 seconds left and with Raptors guard Kyle Lowry in his face.

No problem for the two-time AllStar, as the Jimmy Butler Takeover continued.

CHICAGO – On Saturday, it became official.

As Dwyane Wade put it – “The rich got richer.”

The deal between Atlanta and Cleveland was completed, as the defending world champions acquired sharp-shooter – and former Bull – Kyle Korver, giving them yet another weapon to help try to tighten their grip on the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference.

“I feel like it’s a cheat code,” veteran forward Taj Gibson said of the news.

The acquisition of Korver, however, sparked Wade to talk about his new front office in Chicago, as the 14-year-veteran would now like to see general manager Gar Forman and VP of basketball operations John Paxson add to a roster that has looked stagnant at times this season.

“I would love to [see them add],” Wade said. “I can’t play forever. When you have certain years left, you want the organization you’re a part of to always see how you can get better. Sometimes it’s immediate, sometimes it’s better to wait. As a player you don’t want to waste years, waste time.

“Of course you want them to look and see if there’s opportunities that you can do to make the right moves to get better. The one thing we did here, we have done a good job, we have enough roster spots here in case something happens. I think they did a good job.”

Whether those roster spots change by the trade deadline or sooner, that remains to be seen. Wade definitely knows he would rather the Bulls become buyers than sellers, but he reiterated that he will only voice his opinion from afar.

“I’m not getting involved,” Wade said. “I’m not texting or calling Gar or Pax saying, ‘Hey, what are we doing?’

They get paid good money to do their job, like I get paid good money to do mine.”

8 AFC WILD-CARD PLAYOFFS: TEXANS 27, RAIDERS 14

Osweiler returns to lead Houston

By KRISTIE RIEKEN The Associated Press

HOUSTON – Brock Osweiler redeemed himself after last month’s benching. Jadeveon Clowney established himself as a postseason force.

And the Houston Texans got their first playoff victory since the 2012 season Saturday against the Oakland Raiders.

Osweiler threw for a touchdown and ran for another to lead the Texans to a 27-14 wild-card playoff win over Oakland. Clowney, erasing any doubts he deserved to be the top pick in the 2014 draft, got his first career interception.

Osweiler, benched Dec. 18, got his job back this week with Tom Savage out with a concussion, and played his best game of the season. It was the first career playoff game for Osweiler, who was benched for Peyton Manning before the postseason last season with Denver, and coach Bill O’Brien said Osweiler will start again next week. He finished with 168 yards passing.

“It just goes back to having confidence in my teammates,” Osweiler said.

“Believing in what you see and just rip it. Cut it loose and don’t have any hesitation. I trust that my teammates, the skill guys, they’re going to be where

Houston (10-7) and its top-ranked defense, led by Clowney and Whitney

Mercilus, bounced back after an embarrassing 30-0 wild-card loss to Kansas City last season to advance to face either the Chiefs or New England in

the divisional round next weekend.

Clowney was roundly criticized in his first two injury-plagued seasons before starring this year to help make up for the loss of J.J. Watt.

“Those guys picked me No. 1; they (saw) something in me,” Clowney said. “Things didn’t go well earlier in my career, but I’m on the right track now. Things are coming together, I’m healthier. I’m playing good ball and we’re all coming together and playing good defense.”

The Raiders’ first trip to the playoffs since the 2002 season, when they went to the Super Bowl, ended with a thud behind the struggles of third-string rookie Connor Cook. He threw for 161 yards with one touchdown and three interceptions.

“It was his first start, on the road, in a playoff game, against the No. 1-ranked defense. It was a tough draw for him,” coach Jack Del Rio said. “We had hopes that we would be able to do enough around him so he wouldn’t have to do as much.”

He became the first quarterback in NFL history to make his first start in a playoff game after MVP contender Derek Carr broke his leg two weeks ago, and Matt McGloin injured his shoulder on Sunday.

Healthy Pittsburgh facing depleted Miami in rematch

When the AFC North champion Steelers (11-5) sprint out of the tunnel Sunday to face the Dolphins (10-6) in the wild-card round at Heinz Field, Bell will be at the front of the pack: healthy, hungry and totally hyped for his long overdue playoff debut.

PITTSBURGH – The feeling of helplessness remains very real to Le’Veon Bell.

Bell was standing on the sideline in sweatpants each of the last two Januarys, his knees in various stages of repair, the Pittsburgh Steelers trying to soldier on in the playoffs without their do-everything running back.

Not this time. When the AFC North champion Steelers (11-5) sprint out of the tunnel Sunday to face the Miami Dolphins (10-6) in the wild-card round at not exactly tropical Heinz Field, Bell will be at the front of the pack: healthy, hungry and totally hyped for his long overdue playoff debut.

“I am obviously going to be excited, anxious and pumped-up, and I need to keep my energy up, have my teammates feed off my energy, and let them know how important this game is to me,” said Bell, who averaged an NFLhigh 157 yards from scrimmage in 2016.

Steelers running back time since their last trip to the Super Bowl six years ago, the Steelers enter the postseason with all their bold-faced names available, most notably receiver Antonio Brown and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.

“There’s no excuses,” guard David DeCastro said.

And zero concern about the Steelers getting ahead of themselves; call it a byproduct of getting rolled by the Dolphins, 30-15, Oct. 16 in Miami. Pittsburgh came in 4-1 and left with Roethlisberger’s left knee in need of surgery and the defense in need of serious re-

pair after Miami’s Jay Ajayi piled up 204 yards on the ground.

“I don’t think there’s any sense of overconfidence,” Steelers offensive coordinator Todd Haley said. “We did not play our best. They kicked our butts the first time around. We’re thankful we get another opportunity to rectify that.”

Miami gets a chance to prove its first playoff appearance since 2008 is hardly a fluke even during a season in which the Dolphins were outgained, outscored and often outplayed ... save for those dominant three hours against Pittsburgh.

Enter veteran backup quarterback Matt Moore, who will fill in with Ryan Tannehill’s sprained left knee still not quite ready. The Dolphins went 2-1 down the stretch with Moore under center. All due respect to the 24-year-old Bell, the 32-year-old Moore’s wait for this moment has been considerably longer.

“It’s an unbelievable opportunity,” Moore said. “There are a lot of guys, some guys go a lot and some don’t get those chances.”

player with at least 150 yards rushing in a playoff game since Lynch’s performance against the Packers.

While Rawls did the grunt work, Richardson filled the highlight reel with a trio of catches.

None was better than his 4-yard touchdown in the second quarter to give Seattle a 7-0 lead.

Richardson went horizontal reaching out with his left hand to cradle the pass as he was being interfered with by Tavon Wilson.

What wasn’t called on the play was Richardson’s right hand yanking on the facemask of Wilson as he reached to make the catch.

Richardson had another one-handed catch in the fourth quarter, and Doug Baldwin got into the act of amazing catches, pinning a 10-yard reception to the back of his leg late in the fourth quarter to continue a Seattle drive.

Two plays later, Baldwin’s 13-yard touchdown reception put it away.

Baldwin ran the wrong route and the pass actually was intended for teammate Jermaine Kearse.

“I wasn’t where I was supposed to be,” Baldwin said. “Fortunately, it worked out.”

NFC WILD-CARD PLAYOFFS: GIANTS AT PACKERS, 3:40 P.M. SUNDAY, FOX

Giants, Pack meet in marquee wild-card matchup

By GENARO C. ARMAS The Associated Press

GREEN BAY, Wis. – Aaron Rodgers won’t be the only quarterback in Green Bay this weekend who knows how to “run the table.”

Eli Manning has gone streaking, too, for the New York Giants. In fact, Super Bowl runs in the 2007 and 2011 seasons took the Giants through Lambeau Field each time.

Two of the league’s marquee franchises meet again in Titletown when the Packers host the Giants in an NFC wild-card game Sunday.

“We just know what it takes to win, and obviously the feeling of being on the other side of that, which we’ve had,” Rodgers said about the importance of postseason experience. “We’re pretty hot right now, and usually the teams that are hottest and can stay healthy are the teams that are there at the end.”

The NFC North-champion Packers (10-6) roll into the playoffs on a six-game winning streak. They haven’t lost since Rodgers said he thought Green Bay

could “run the table” after falling to 4-6.

In some ways, this season has a similar feel to the Packers’ wild-card run in 2010, when Green Bay also finished the regular season 10-6 and overcame a slew of injuries to win the Super Bowl.

Rodgers is leading the way again: 15 touchdown passes and no interceptions during the six-game winning streak.

A master at extending plays playing behind Eli Manning a good offensive line, Rodgers is giving receivers time to get open and delivering laser-like throws.

“I just see a guy that’s playing with an edge ... and he’s playing with a killer instinct,” first-year Giants coach Ben McAdoo said.

McAdoo should know. He was an offensive assistant under Packers coach Mike McCarthy from 2006-13 before a two-year stint as Giants offensive coordinator. McAdoo has seen up close what Manning and the Giants (11-5) can do at Lambeau.

The Giants beat the Packers, 23-20, in overtime in the NFC title game Jan. 20, 2008. They won, 37-20, Jan. 15, 2012, in the divisional round, defeating a heavily favored Packers team that finished 15-1 in the regular season.

That year was the last time the Giants were in the postseason.

Their four-year playoff drought is over after relying on the stingiest defense in the NFC (17.8 Aaron Rodgers points a game) and the playmaking ability of receiver Odell Beckham Jr. “Feels good to win games during the regular season, and to be in this position,” said Manning, who turned 36 Tuesday.

“You definitely want to take advantage of it. You don’t know if you get more shots.

You know how hard it is after these last years, how hard it is to get here.”

Some notes and other things to watch in Sunday’s game:

56 yards and a touchdown when the teams met in the regular season in Week 5, a 23-16 victory for Green Bay. The Packers’ secondary was battered by injuries then, just like it is now.

Quinten Rollins (neck/concussion) will miss the game Sunday, while Damarious Randall is questionable with a knee injury. But second-year player LaDarius Gunter, who helped contain Beckham in October, remains healthy.

Gunter has become the most consistent cornerback for the Packers, who also have been without veteran Sam Shields (concussion) since the season opener.

CORNER CONCERN

Randall was a full participant in practice at midweek. If he can’t go, the Packers might have to rely on undrafted rookies Josh Hawkins and the newly activated Herb Waters – a former receiver – to help Gunter at cornerback.

Safety/slot cornerback Micah Hyde also might get more work outside. Regardless, the secondary will get tested COVERING BECKHAM

SEATTLE – The formula that has led the Seattle Seahawks to unmatched success over the past five seasons returned.

A healthy dose of Thomas Rawls rumbling on the ground. A few timely throws by Russell Wilson helped by some remarkable catches. And a defense that never allowed Detroit a sniff of the end zone.

“This felt like old times. This felt great,” Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman said.

Rawls rushed for a franchise playoff-record 161 yards, Paul Richardson made one of the catches of AP photo the year for his first career postseaSeahawks receiver Paul Richardson reaches around Li- son touchdown, and the Seahawks ons safety Tavon Wilson to make a touchdown catch in beat the Lions, 26-6, Saturday night the first half of Saturday’s NFC wild-card game in Seattle. in an NFC wild-card game.

The Seahawks won, 26-6.

“It kept the chains going,”

Rawls said. “We want to end like this. We want to end with a great mark running the football, which is our identity, playing tough hard-nosed Seahawks football, and that’s exactly what we did.”

Seattle won its 10th straight home playoff game, continuing Detroit’s miserable conclusion to the season that finished with four straight losses. Detroit’s long playoff history without postseason success continued: no playoff wins since 1992. No road playoff wins since 1957.

“We’re walking away with nothing,” Detroit cornerback Darius Slay said.

Rawls was the workhorse as the run game the Seahawks became known for when Marshawn Lynch was in the backfield finally found consistency that was missing all season. Rawls bettered Lynch’s 157 yards in the 2014 NFC championship came against Green Bay. Rawls had runs of 12, 14, 26 and a 32-yarder late in the third quarter, when Wilson ended up being his lead blocker.

Rawls capped his night with a 4-yard touchdown run that gave Seattle a 19-6 lead. He was the first

Sarkisian: Time away showed me I loved coaching

Alabama offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian answers questions during media day Saturday ahead of the NCAA college football playoff championship game against Clemson on Monday night in Tampa, Fla.

to that stadium. I really like to try to take it in. I think it’s important that we don’t just gloss over that kind of stuff, and enjoy the moment.”

That was much easier to do as an offensive analyst than a head coach, or coordinator for that matter. Asked how he was doing personally, Sarkisian said succinctly: “Life is good.” He also believes he’ll be a head coach again.

Sarkisian said he has spoken to Kiffin this week and praised his performance over the past three years, which included three Southeastern Conference titles and a shot at a second national championship.

He was expecting to spend the season working as a TV analyst, but then started visiting different teams.

His first practice observing the Atlanta Falcons drove home how much he wanted to get right back into coaching.

Those stops included the University of Florida, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and a week in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, with Saban and Kiffin, a former colleague at USC. “Before he left, he said he was supposed to do some TV work or something, but he would really like to get involved in a program someplace, and if there was any opportunity for him to do it here ...” Saban said. “And I liked him in the week that he spent with us.”

They delayed his starting the job until after the opener against USC – to avoid looking like Alabama was seeking an advantage in the game.

TAMPA, Fla. – Steve Sarkisian has been cramming for a final exam he didn’t know he’d have to take.

The newly elevated Alabama offensive coordinator had all of a week after his earlier-than-expected promotion to prepare and implement the game plan for Monday night’s national championship game with No. 3 Clemson. Not to mention getting better acquainted with players, most notably quarterback Jalen Hurts, and adapting to a very different job description.

“I’m embracing this more than anything,” Sarkisian said Saturday.

“I would be remiss if I didn’t exhaust myself in the preparation standpoint to put our players in the best position to go do the best job they can do Monday night because they’ve earned this.”

Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban told Sarkisian he was getting the early bump in responsibilities last Sunday, the day after the Peach Bowl semifinal game. A day later, Saban announced that Lane Kiffin would head to his new job leading the Florida Atlantic program instead of sticking around through the playoffs as initially planned.

Sarkisian, 42, already had been promoted and started formulating ideas for spring practices and for the offense, and he said that made the transition easier.

He amiably faced dozens of reporters and cameras, and a spotlight he’d been able to avoid since his firing as Southern California’s coach in October 2015, and subsequent entry into an inpatient rehab facility for alcoholism.

He mostly said questions about his battle were “for another time,” but did touch on what he’d learned about himself during that time.

“I think the biggest thing I discovered about me is, I’m a good person,” Sarkisian said. “Not perfect, like none of us are. But the reality of it is I also learned that I love this game and I love coaching football. I love being around these players. I love being around the coaches. I love all of college football.

I love game day, when you get to go

The questionable gift of an iPhone Knowing how excited a family member can be with a new phone, I decided to get my father his first cell phone: an iPhone 7. However, getting a senior citizen some new technology, which they didn’t ask for, receives a slightly less enthusiastic response.

My father looked at his iPhone without actually taking it out of the box, then said, “Hmmm. OK. I guess we’ll see.” This was, coincidentally, the same response he had when I bought my first pair of parachute pants. For the record, I did not have several pairs, just the standards: red and black.

I needed to show him the wonders of his new link to the millennium. I took it out of the box and plugged in the charger. After the phone had enough power to demonstrate, I started a rundown of the marvels of the Apple smartphone.

“You can store numbers in here with the person’s name, so all you have to do is type in their name to call them,” I said.

“But now all I have to do is dial their number on the regular phone,” my father said, motioning to the landline that hung on the kitchen wall.

“Yes, but now you don’t have to look in your address book for their number,” I explained. “What’s Aunt Ella’s phone number?” I asked for his out-of state sister’s number trying to make my point.

He told me the correct number with area code.

“OK, what about Uncle Fred’s number?” I asked regarding his brother, who lived in Australia.

He gave the correct number with the area code and international dialing code.

Then he told me the street he lived on, city and territory abbreviation.

“Aha! But with the iPhone, you don’t have to remember all those numbers!”

“Sometimes remembering is a good thing,” he countered. “What’s my num-

ber?”

I knew the area code and that it had a seven in it. I guessed wrong twice and decided to move on.

“OK, you like games right? Like cribbage?”

He nodded. I went to the App Store and downloaded Cribbage Pro Deluxe.

“There! Now you can pick up your iPhone anytime and play cribbage, with anyone around the world!”

“But I already play cribbage with Lenny. On Tuesdays. At the library,” he said.

“You always say Lenny cheats. Why would you still want to play cribbage with him?”

“At the library, we sit near the electric fireplace. Sometimes we sneak in coffee. Lenny and I talk about the old days. Doo wop, Friday Night Fights, Ann-Margaret. Lenny’s cheating is a small price to pay.”

“Alright, but with the iPhone, Mom can get a hold of you whenever you’re out,” I said.

“Why would she need to get a hold of me? She can see me when I get back.

Besides, she knows where I am. I tell her before I leave,” he said, then looked into the kitchen to make sure my mother was far enough away, and whispered, “And sometimes, I need to get out of the house so I don’t have to talk to her. That’s how you make a marriage work, son.”

I called his new iPhone from mine.

“What’s this? Who’s calling?” I feigned. “Oh, I’ll just look at the top of the screen. Their name is displayed right here, up top. Now you know immediately whether you want to talk to that person or not.”

“I can do that now. If I don’t want to talk, I just don’t answer the phone.”

“But what if you answer it, and it’s someone on the other end that you don’t want to talk to, like Uncle Stan?”

“Then I tell them I’m busy. And if it’s your Uncle Stan, I just give the phone to your mother. He’s her brother. Besides, why would I want to talk to that louse after he backed into my brand new Buick back in ‘86? Not even one day off the showroom floor and – BAM! He dented the whole driver’s side with that rusty, brown Toyota he had. You know why?

Jealously! Because I had an Electra 225 and he didn’t!”

I told him his iPhone had a built-in clock. He showed me the Timex on his wrist. I told him he could listen to music.

He pointed to a Sears closeout phonograph/cassette/stereo combo.

I gave up. We talked about other things. My mother came in from the kitchen and brought in some sandwiches. She asked if I saw “Homeland” this week. I explained, as I did every time she asked me that question, that I still do not have Showtime. She then told me, as she did every time she asked me that question, what happened on that week’s episode. The sandwiches were delicious, as always.

After our visit, I moved some furniture for my mother and put salt in the water softener, as I did every week. I got in my car and drove down the road. I looked at my iPhone as I automatically do every few minutes. One percent. I started to attach it to my car charger, then stopped. I stared at the phone for a few minutes, watching the red line at the bottom of the battery drawing, and waited until the screen went black. I was suddenly out of touch with everyone. I was untethered. AWOL. It felt great.

Home&GardenTip Stop drafts, save money and improve your home

Can you imagine keeping your windows open all winter? The heat loss, cold drafts and all that money spent on wasted energy would be staggering. But if your home has folding pull-down attic stairs, a fireplace or clothes dryer, you may be doing the equivalent of leaving the windows open every day.

Here are some tips and techniques that can seal and insulate

these areas.

Attic stairs: When attic stairs are installed, a large hole (about 10 square feet) is created in your ceiling. The ceiling and insulation that were there have to be removed, leaving only a thin, unsealed, sheet of plywood. A solution is to add an insulated attic stair cover that seals the stairs and stops drafts and energy loss. Add the desired amount of insulation over the cover to restore the insulation

removed from the ceiling.

Fireplaces: It’s ironic that while fireplaces are intended to heat up a house, they can create some seriously cold drafts. A simple way to avoid this is to add a plug to your fireplace. A fireplace plug is an inflatable pillow that seals the fireplace damper, eliminating drafts, odors and noise. The pillow is removed whenever the fireplace is used, then reinserted after.

Clothes dryer exhaust ducts:

In the winter, cold drafts come in through the duct, through your dryer and into your house. Many dryer vents use a sheet-metal flapper to try to reduce these drafts.

A solution to this problem is to add a dryer vent seal. This will reduce unwanted drafts and also keeps out pests, bees and rodents.

The vent will remain closed unless the dryer is in use.

PERFECT MATCH

McHenry County wedding expos connect couples, vendors

By LINDSAY WEBER

lanning to take that stroll down the aisle in 2017 or beyond?

Flowers, tuxes, cake, the dress – it can all be very overwhelming. Several McHenry County bridal groups will bring everything together this winter to help brides and grooms through their decision-making process.

D’Andrea Banquets and Conference Center in Crystal Lake hosts its sixth annual D’Andrea Premier Bridal Show from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. today at 4419 Route 14, Crystal Lake. Registration is free and can be done at the door, but all pre-registered attendees will be eligible to win a $1,000 cash prize.

DJs, florists, makeup, centerpieces, travel accommodations and even chiropractors – to make that walk down the aisle a straight one – are just a few of the more than 45 vendors that will be present.

A sweets table will have sample offerings, hors d’oeuvres will be served and an actual wedding cake will be cut and served to attendees. Attendees even will be able to buy a wedding dress on site.

“It will really help them in their planning process if they come here,” D’Andrea Event Planner Lynnette Kaszuba said. “We’re good at what we do, and our show has some really great vendors.”

Kaszuba said she’s noticing a shift from the ever-popular rustic wedding to more glitz, glamour and all things shiny.

The Wedding Network Founder and President Dana Brandt, however, is not so sure.

“Brides are loving the rustic theme, and I don’t see that going anywhere any time soon,” she said.

Brandt said she’s also seen a lot of movement away from the stark white dress to more blush tones, as well as dip-dying for an ombre look. More fun and candid wedding day photos are very popular, as well as gender mixing within the bridal party.

Crafty couples Forget DIY; think DIT (Do It Together)

By JENNIFER FORKER The Associated Press

More DIY tips

Many brides and grooms who want to craft meaningful and memorable wedding decorations choose to make one important item – the bouquet, table centerpiece or party giveaway gifts. Others go all-out, crafting nearly every detail, either to save money or to make the day more personal.

Marissa DeMercurio, of Arvada, Colorado, made everything she could by hand for her 2014 wedding.

The key, she said, was planning the projects well in advance and inviting family and friends to help. She asked some friends who are artists to make, paint and handprint items, from handmade signs to the lawn games played at her outdoor ceremony and reception. She found her inspirations at online sites such as Pinterest and Etsy, and in craft stores, and chose Colorado nature as the theme.

Recruit friends, she said, “and you can save tons of money and it’ll look better because it’s exactly what you wanted,” DeMercurio said.

Darcy Miller, editor at large for Martha Stewart Weddings and author of the new “Celebrate Everything” (HarperCollins), calls it DIT: do it together.

“Yes, the DIY is fun and makes it personal, but DIT makes it more meaningful,” Miller said. “Part of the wedding is delegating and collaborating, not only as a means to get it done but as a means for making it more fun.”

Some of DeMercurio’s decorations, such as a chalkboard showing the couple’s relationship highlights, hang in the house she shares with her husband, Pete Kardasis. That was another priority: The coupled wanted to live with their wedding memories, not file them away.

“We wanted to have things that would remind us of that day continuously,” DeMercurio said.

Whitney and Jordan Weaver of Seneca, Kansas, made most of the decorations for their 2014 wedding:

“People aren’t sticking to the gender barrier anymore,” Brandt said.

“Your best man can be your sister.”

The Wedding Network will host its third annual Winter Wedding Expo 2017 from noon to 2:30 p.m. Jan. 22 at McHenry County College in the commons area. Registration is free, and pre-registered brides will receive a swag bag and entry into a raffle for a $500 cash prize.

Brandt said the network’s wedding expo has become the largest in McHenry County, with more than 50 local wedding professionals from northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin.

Family and friends helped, one making the cake topper.

“For me, it was about doing our wedding around what we like and making it special for us,” said Whitney Weaver, whose relationship with her future husband grew out of a shared love of music.

She and her mom spent untold nights folding and

For former brides and new brides on a budget, The Wedding Network holds wedding garage sales a few times a year, where used wedding items can be bought, sold and traded.

Brandt said their last garage sale brought in more attendees than their previous expo.

“Our November sale brought in over 900 people, and we plan to have at least two more this year. It’s becoming really popular, and it’s a great way to get rid of your old items or get some used items at a better price,” Brandt said.

If you’re not ready to plan just yet, McHenry Bridal Group plans to host an expo in the spring. Visit www. mchenrybridal.com for announcements and expo details when they become available.

• Buy and collect items in bulk. DeMercurio tied large swaths of burlap around trees and smaller pieces around Mason jars. She collected glass jars, some of which she filled with flowers and hung from trees branches.

• If you choose a lovely setting – DeMercurio chose a park with mountains as her backdrop; Weaver’s reception was in a big, beautiful barn – you’ll need fewer decorations.

• Put Epsom salts in the bottom of Mason jars before adding tea lights, Weaver said. “It looks like crystals, and it’s a really cheap alternative for holding tea lights steady.”

• Hand-stamp compostable utensils with phrases such as “all you need is love” to add a personal touch, DeMercurio said. gluing individual paper petals from thin, sheet-musicthemed paper to make the bouquets and boutonnieres.

“I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to repay her,” Weaver said.

Miller, of Martha Stewart Weddings, warns against hitting Pinterest boards unprepared; they can be overwhelming. When she works with couples, she asks about their personal style and inspirations to tease out a wedding theme. Her book does the same with a personalization “cheat sheet.”

“You need to think about what matters to you,” Miller said. “Those are the things that are going to make your wedding reflect you, make it feel like you.”

With all the crafting possibilities, Miller warns against doing too much too close to the wedding date.

“As a bride, you should be doing nothing except being a bride the day of your wedding,” the expert said.

Jamie Hardy poses in her unconventional wedding dress made by her friend and architect Gerri Davis at Hardy and her husband’s wedding celebration with friends and family in Brooklyn.

LOS ANGELES – When deciding what kind of dress I wanted to wear for my wedding this year, I knew what I didn’t want. No lace, no veil, and absolutely nothing long, corseted, traditional and white.

So, for our tiny May marriage ceremony, I went with an off-therack, navy blue sailor dress with a film noir flair. For our wedding celebration with friends and family six months later, I wore a shorter, stretch velvet halter dress in red – my favorite color – custom-made by a Los Angeles boutique I’ve gone to for years.

It turns out unconventional wedding dresses, while still not as popular as their white, floor-sweeping counterparts, are catching on.

“We saw a noticeable spike in the number of untraditional dresses – shorter dresses, the use of color – a couple of years ago,” said Keija Minor, editor-in-chief of Brides magazine. “There’s a move for all couples to want to personalize their wedding and not

be the cookie-cutter wedding their parents want. If your dream dress isn’t a flowy white gown, and you want a pop of color, then why not?”

According to the magazine’s 2016 American Wedding Study, an annual survey of engaged and newlywed women, 93 percent of brides still select white and off-white gowns. Yet 11 percent of brides opt now for something “unique,” from cocktail-length and nonwhite dresses to slinky jumpsuits.

The study also found 73 percent of couples pay for or contribute to the cost of their own wedding.

“If your mom’s paying for your dress, she would probably want more of a say,” Minor said. “The days of the bride’s family paying is so over. With this financial shift, you’ve seen more girls being less traditional.”

Popular nontraditional colors range from lighter pastels such as champagne, blush, pale pink and light blue to glittery gold and silver, Minor said. Besides shorter lengths, high-low hemlines appeal to women who want to show off their shoes. Designer Vera Wang has showcased wedding dresses in black and pink. David’s Bridal

stores sell a white wedding jumpsuit.

When Brooklyn, New Yorkbased Jamie Hardy, 37, and her husband were planning their June 2011 wedding celebration – a lunch and dance party – a year after they secretly married, Hardy asked her architect friend Gerri Davis to make the dress. Hardy and Davis – who plans to make a pantsuit for her own wedding next year – met and hashed out a design. Then they shopped for fabrics, and Davis took a plaster cast of Hardy’s body to work off of.

Hardy’s neutral toned, cocktail-length dress ended up being a sleek and artistic combo of raw silk, clear sequins, upholstery fabric and darker, vine-like embroidery, with part of a multi-colored kimono sash on one shoulder.

“I wanted it to be tree-like and root-like, and Gerri as an architect brought structure to it,” said Hardy, who then was going to school for landscape design. “I also don’t like the color white. It doesn’t look good on me, and I would get it dirty. Comfort is really important.

If I’m in a corset or bodice, that wouldn’t work.”

Saying ‘yes’ far from home Like weddings, popping the question increasingly means a destination

By LEANNE ITALIE

The Associated Press NEW YORK – It’s courtin’ time, and that still means going down on one knee for many proposers of marriage.

Only now, more are choosing a special destination to do the asking.

Traditionally, the highest concentration of marriage proposals starts in November and stretches to Valentine’s Day, with December as the busiest month. And in line with the popularity of destination weddings has come a growing desire for destination proposals, said Kellie Gould, editor-in-chief for the wedding site TheKnot.com.

Whether it’s on top of a mountain or in the forest, the love is in the thoughtful details, from planning to execution and the extra stress in between due to so many moving parts. The idea is to make the proposal not only memorable but social media ready, often with photographers in tow along with loved ones.

“I’ve been married 17 years, and I look at proposals today and I’m wowed

“I’ve been married 17 years, and I look at proposals today and I’m wowed by how much effort the proposers are putting into it.”

Kellie Gould

TheKnot.com editor-in-chief

by how much effort the proposers are putting into it,” Gould said in a recent interview.

Rachael Sneddon, 26, and her husband, Russell, 32, in Portland, Oregon, were on vacation in Bali last May with members of both their families when he popped the question at a remote guest house as Balinese dancers and musicians entertained.

The music suddenly stopped, and one of the guitarists began playing one of Rachael’s favorite songs, John Denver’s “Take Me Home, Country Roads.”

“Then Russell asked me to dance, which is very unusual,” she laughed.

“He is not really a good dancer. I was like, ‘I don’t know what you’re doing.’

Then he got down on one knee.”

He presented the ring in a box he made from scraps of the Portland International Airport’s famous teal patterned carpet.

“It was the thing in Portland where everybody took pictures of their feet on the carpet,” Rachael explained. “Right before we left for Bali, they were ripping it out, and everyone in Portland was really sad.”

In terms of destination weddings, Gould said, couples have indicated in surveys done by The Knot the idea is to return over the years to reconnect, including with their kids in tow. The same, she said, is likely for destination proposal locales.

Bringing the wow for destination proposals means keeping track of the ring, above all, Gould said. While the asker is moving around, so is that precious cargo. Make sure to get the ring insured before setting out, she counseled.

Sneddon said her husband packed

the ring in a suitcase full of his shoes and the suitcase went missing for about three hours. Gould advises carrying it on instead.

If the askee knows about the trip, prep, prep and prep, Gould said. This is not the time to wing the details.

Don’t spring the asking right away.

The askee likely figures something is up, but keep the suspense going for a day or two to make it memorable. Don’t wait too long, though to avoid annoying rather than wooing.

Key is taking the askee’s interests and personality into account. You may love skiing while she loves the beach.

Go for the latter. Does she enjoy romantic cities or rustic getaways, luxe hotels or cozy bed and breakfasts? This trip should be more about the askee, not the asker, if the two aren’t on the same page travel-wise.

If others are involved, try to keep the group of co-conspirators small. And make sure to secretly clear the askee’s schedule. Sometimes it’s not possible to keep the destination a secret, and that’s OK, too.

great love songs for modern couples

By SOLVEJ SCHOU • The Associated Press

“A

t laaaaaaast, my looooove has come along,” Etta James sings with a gutsy, bluesy drawl at the beginning of her 1960 version of the 1940’s tune. With just those seven heart-swelling words, James secured a spot on wedding playlists for decades.

Today, with many couples financing their own weddings, personalized playlists run the gamut, from music played during the ceremony to a first dance song, said Jill Sieracki, senior features editor of Brides magazine.

Open, nongender-specific love songs also appeal to contemporary couples.

Tastes change with the times, and so do popular wedding songs (the Baroque classic Pachelbel’s Canon has shown real staying power). Keeping many choices in mind, here are five songs that seem to speak to modern lovebirds.

John Legend – “All Of Me”

Singing “’Cause all of me/ Loves all of you/ Love your curves and all your edges/ All your perfect imperfections,” Grammy-winning R&B artist Legend doesn’t just channel his love for his wife (and model) Chrissy Teigen, he proclaims it.

After analyzing more than 400,000 wedding-themed playlists worldwide, Spotify in 2015 named the song the top choice for tying the knot.

“I love the lyric ‘your perfect imperfections,’ ” Sieracki said. “It’s a common theme with these songs that they have these great lyrics, about appreciating the person for who they are. I don’t think there’s anyone on the planet who doesn’t want to be the John Legend-Chrissy Teigen love story.

They’re so fantastic.”

Ed Sheeran – “Thinking Out Loud”

British singer-songwriter Sheeran made a splash when his video for 2014’s “Thinking Out Loud” debuted, featuring him sashaying with “So You Think You Can Dance” contestant Brittany Cherry, who was clad in a white dress.

“And, darling, I will be loving you ’til we’re 70/ And, baby, my heart could still fall as hard at 23,” Sheeran croons, later belting, “Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars.”

The mid-tempo guitar- and piano-fueled song is a favorite wedding tune for Brides magazine readers.

“A lot of these newer songs, too, they’re not gender-specific. They’re very open to all couples, whether it’s two grooms or two brides,” Sieracki said. “It’s a love story.”

Adele – “Make You Feel My Love”

Backed by a steady piano melody, mega-hit-maker Adele’s 2008 cover of Bob Dylan’s 1997 song “Make You Feel My Love” doesn’t just ooze melancholy romance; it showcases her instantly recognizable soulful voice. The song was on her first studio album, “19.”

“When the rain is blowing in your face/ And the whole world is on your case/ I could offer you a warm embrace/ To make you feel my love,” Adele sings at the beginning, filling each note with a raspy warmth.

Lonestar – “Amazed”

With lyrics such as, “I wanna spend the rest of my life/ With you by my side,” Lonestar’s 1999 twangy power ballad “Amazed” has become a favorite for country music lovers, Sieracki said. Oodles of videos on YouTube show couples doing their first dance to the tune.

“There are a lot of people Ed Sheeran that look to country music AP photo for their wedding songs,” she said. “This song is a love story, a lyrical piece that really works for all types of couples.”

Etta James – “At Last”

With its sweeping violin melody and James pouring her heart out, “At Last” has a timeless quality.

“There’s something that holds true with the lyrics in 2016, 2017,” Sieracki said. “It’s doesn’t matter what the couple looks like, their ages. At your 50th anniversary, this is the song you’re going to want to dance to again.”

Time for parents to choose a better route The earlier a kid starts drinking alcohol, the more likely he is to develop a problem with it. Adult attitudes toward drinking alcohol play a big role in the easy acceptance of our kids’ early drinking behavior so one thing we can do to impact underage drinking is change the way we think about drinking and be conscious of the attitudes we wish to pass to our kids.

Attitudes are passed more through behavior than through words, so it may not be enough to say we don’t want our kids to use alcohol or go to parties where alcohol is served. We actually may have to change our own ways. Somehow, it seems underage drinking and overdrinking has been normalized. It’s almost expected kids will “experiment,” to the extent it’s considered abnormal if they do not. I

don’t know … maybe it’s just me, but why do kids need to experiment with a highly dangerous and addictive drug? I don’t think the “everybody’s doing it” argument really cuts it; maybe everybody (whoever that is) shouldn’t do it.

I’ve read studies that indicate nearly 50 percent of 12th graders statewide have had at least one drink in the past 30 days. I find that number astounding, not only because the number indicates the pervasiveness of underage drinking but also that it’s illegal. So half the senior class is using a dangerous, addictive drug that is illegal for them to use. Let that sink in.

Don’t get me wrong – I’m not anti-drinking. But I am anti-underage drinking, and I am anti-irresponsible drinking. I’ve had parents explain to

me after they have allowed teens to have drinking parties at their homes they would rather have them there because, “they’re going to do it anyway” and “I’d rather know where they are,” or, “at least I know they’re safe.”

This sounds logical at first, but if you think a little more carefully, it opens the door to those who say “everybody does it.” Someone has to say “No, not here” or it will appear to those kids in attendance that everybody does do it and, further, that most parents condone it. I don’t think that’s accurate.

It makes it much harder for those parents who don’t allow it, which is the vast majority of parents.

I saw an illustration of what a normative change might look like, and it goes like this: I walk down the street, don’t see the hole and fall in. It wasn’t my fault.

I walk down the street, pretend I don’t see the hole and fall in again. It takes a long time to get out.

I walk down the street, I see the hole and fall in anyway. It’s a habit.

It’s my fault. I get out right away.

I walk down another street.

I think it’s important to talk to your kids about drinking and its impact, but just as important, if not more so, that we as parents examine our own attitudes and behavior around alcohol. We see the hole we keep falling into. Let’s walk down another street.
