Good morning, McHenry County ...

The wild kingdom of Steve the Wonder Dog One of the saddest days of my life was when I lost my man’s best friend boxer, Buddy. I wrote a cathartic column about him where I observed that, “Buddy was a better dog than I was a person.”

My wife read that and observed, “Michael, your canine-like humility is only surpassed by your ability to use your leg to scratch behind your ear.”

We decided to wait a while before we would get another dog. In the meantime, our two cats passed, and we were now petless. Without any paws and claws in the house, life was definitely simpler, cheaper and less furry. But there also was a hole in my heart for which I saw no cure.

I referred to that period of my life as the, “The Years of Wistful Domesticated Animal Yearning.” My friends observed that during this time I had a propensity to sit, beg and eat food that fell on the floor.

I would often find myself sitting and looking out the front window, waiting for people to walk by with their dogs. Once in a while, when I would see them coming down the sidewalk, I’d run out so I talk to them and pet their dog.

I’d even go for walks in the neighborhood carrying dog treats in case I met a dog or I got hungry, whichever came first.

The day finally came when we got our new puppy. We called him “Steve” because we had named a child “Comet” and wanted to balance things up. Seriously, we called him “Steve” because “Karl” was already taken by an East German shepherd in the neighborhood.

It’s been a little more than a year and Steve has doggedly established his kingdom. The Amish glider chair is his throne. The floor is his plate. The yard is his toilet. The squirrels and chipmunks are his just-out-of-reach prey.

Our fingers are finger-licking good. And our socks are his … well, his.

Steve has more toys than all of our four kids combined. He’s got stuff that I actually want to play with. There’s this beaver whose tail I am addicted to squeezing. Inside it is some kind of foil or plastic that makes the most gratifying crinkly tactile sensory sensation. It’s like Xanax with fur.

Steve loves to bite all those squeaker toys and shake the living daylights out of them. We thought it was so cute until we found out that

Michael Penkava’s pet, Steve the Wonder Dog, has more toys than all four of his children combined. he was simply acting out his instinctive desire to kill, and the toy’s squeaky sound was imitating the pathetic terrified squeals of his victim as he performed the ceremonial death shake.

Maybe we should have named him “Ghost in the Darkness.”

Steve went to obedience school and excelled in urinating and barking. He has learned to expect a treat for the simplest of behaviors, such as asking to go out to play. I should be so lucky.

But Steve’s kingdom is our kingdom, and we love it, although sometimes we’re not sure who’s in charge. I think, however, at this point I am a better human than he is a dog, mostly because he selfishly keeps stealing the floor food from me.

But I can’t hold a grudge. So, Steve, please don’t worry, I’m not mad. You had me at “Woof.”

• Michael Penkava taught a bunch of kids and wrote a bunch of stuff. He tried to teach Steve how to dance, but it was fruitless. It appears that Steve has two left feet. He can be reached at mikepenkava@comcast.net.

hprokop@shawmedia.com LAKE IN THE HILLS – It’s been a hard week and a half for his family, but Luis Garcia said the support of the community has made everything easier.

Garcia, of Huntley, sat with his family Friday evening at a vigil held in honor of his wife, 27-year-old Carla Lopez-Mejia, and their children, 11-year-old Ezequiel Garcia and 8-year-old Ariana Garcia.

The three were found dead in their Lake in the Hills home Jan. 10, and police continue to investigate what they have called an apparent murder-suicide. Lopez-Mejia died from asphyxia from hanging, and the children were strangled, according to the McHenry County Coroner’s Office.

“They were great people,” Garcia said of his family. “The kids always had fun, always [were] nice to everybody, loved playing with kids – it didn’t matter who they

“They were great people. The kids always had fun, always [were] nice to everybody, loved playing with kids – it didn’t matter who they were. They just enjoyed life.”

Luis Garcia

Father of Ezequiel and Ariana Garcia were. They just enjoyed life.”

Through the fog and light rain, a crowd gathered behind Garcia and his family outside of Marlowe Middle School in Lake in the Hills – the school sixth-grade student Ezequiel, or “Izzy,” attended. Ariana was a third-grader at Martin Elementary School.

Many held glow sticks or candles in pink, blue and purple plastic cups, to rep-

resent Ariana, Ezequiel and Lopez-Mejia’s favorite colors, event organizer Amy Novalinski said.

After students in the Marlowe Middle School choir sang “See You Again” by Charlie Puth, the school’s Interim Principal Henry Soltesz spoke on behalf of Huntley School District 158.

A tree will be planted outside the elementary school for Ariana, and a bench will be placed at the middle school with a plaque honoring Ezequiel, Soltesz said.

Lifeline Christian Church in Algonquin Pastor Dave Rudin spoke, along with the Rev. Max Striedl of St. Mary Catholic Church in Huntley and Meghan Watson of Willow Creek Community Church.

“A family in our community experienced unimaginable, indescribable pain,” Rudin said. “And it didn’t just affect one family, it affected the whole community.”

Planning commission OKs downtown theater proposal Request calls for theater, restaurant, outdoor seating

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com McHENRY – The McHenry Planning and Zoning Commission this week unanimously approved a proposal to redevelop and reopen the downtown McHenry theater building.

The downtown theater has been vacant since 2014.

The request called for a conditional-use permit for an expanded site plan review to allow a theater, restaurant serving alcohol and outdoor seating at

1204-1208 N. Green St. and Walsh Park.

The project was proposed by Boone Creek Crossing LLC. According to the proposal, part of the project calls for relocating the theater lobby to the north and the restaurant to the south.

“I think this is an critical investment for a couple reasons,” said Doug Martin, director of economic development in McHenry. “One, for our downtown area as it brings people downtown and creates traffic for other businesses. The other reason is it’s really important for our community development in that any successful community has a successful downtown.”

Mayor Susan Low also said this project is just what the downtown area needs.

“It’s a whole new fresh idea,” Low said. “And for all the surrounding property owners it’s such a boost. The

The subject property consists of an approximately 12,280-square-foot building with basement and three commercial units. Two of the units are vacant, while the third unit is occupied by coffee shop Hidden Pearl Cafe.

The redevelopment proposal will now move to the City Council. If the council approves the measure, the construction of the theater will begin.

The next council meeting is set for Feb. 6.

Rauner picks new trustees for NIU

Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com • Saturday, January 21, 2017

SHAW MEDIA DeKALB – Gov. Bruce Rauner announced three new appointments and one reappointment to the Northern Illinois University board of trustees Friday.

New appointees are Eric Wasowicz, Dennis Barsema and Veronica Herraro. Board member Timothy A. Struthers was reappointed to a sixyear term.

The eight-person board consists of seven appointed officials and one student trustee elected annually by NIU students. The current student trustee is Matthew W. Holmes.

The terms of the board’s three other nonstudent members, Robert T. Boey, John Butler and Wheeler G. Coleman, are set to expire in 2019.

Trustees Robert T. Marshall Jr., Cherilyn G. Murer, Marc J. Strauss and Struthers all were serving terms that expired in January. Strauss announced his resignation earlier this week after learning he would not be reappointed; the other trustees can remain in their positions until their successors are confirmed by the state Senate.

advantage of such an educational opportunity,” Alberth said.

In previous years, District 47 has offered eighth-grade students trips to Washington, D.C., that typically take place in June. However, this year, the district and school board changed the trip date so students and faculty could see the inauguration in person.

“We’ve been planning this trip for over a year when we had no idea who the next presidential candidate was going to be,” Alberth said. “So from our point of view, it was more about what does an inauguration look like and the process of seeing a peaceful transfer of change in our country.”

District 47 students, teachers and administrators also visited Smithsonian museums, the Washington Monument and Capitol Hill, among other historic landmarks.

“Not only did they get to see the inauguration, but it was also great that they got to see so many memorials, museums and learn more about our nation’s capital,” Alberth said.

The District 47 group plans to return Saturday from its four-day trip.

HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Don’t underestimate what you are capable of doing or think that someone is more experienced or knowledgeable than you are. If you step up and do your own thing, you will be surprised by what you accomplish. Look for a vantage point, turn on your charm and make your way to the top.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Take whatever others do in stride, but don’t let it ruin your plans.

Consider ways you can bring about physical improvements using methods that have worked for you in the past.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – A personal promise you make to someone will improve your life. Discussions

and plans can be put in place, and a joint effort will set you up for success.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – You may want to contain your enthusiasm and refrain from sharing personal or secret information. Divulging such secrets prematurely will create an opening for someone wishing to dismantle your plans.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Sharing your feelings and plans with someone special will lift your spirits and give you the incentive you need to take care of unfinished business.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Work hard and bring about change. No one will do your job for you, or do it the way you want. An open mind and disciplined attitude will lead to victory.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Make relationships a

priority and share your feelings. Make plans that will encourage you to strive for a bigger and better life, without going into debt or upsetting someone you love.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Put some action behind your words and see what happens. Don’t expect to win favors or get everything you want, but you must make your point heard in order for change to eventually take place.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Get involved in activities that will allow you to show off your skills. Someone you find interesting will want to partner with you.

Social activities will encourage new opportunities.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Show a little compassion when it comes to how you carry out your plans. Ask questions and offer incentives and whatever else

it takes to keep important relationships running smoothly.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Make changes at home or to your lifestyle that will help you achieve your personal goals. A little romance or family fun will help build better relationships.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – If you don’t feel right about what others are doing, don’t take part.

Relationship problems will be costly if you are too giving or generous. Don’t be gullible when you should be asking questions.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – You’ll outshine any competition you encounter. You can advance personally and professionally if you follow your head and let your skills and experience lead the way.

Romance is encouraged.

Senate leaders promise budget-deal vote The ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO – Illinois Senate leaders plan to vote on a compromise budget deal next week, and hope the House will be willing to work with them on a measure to end the near-two-year state budget stalemate.

Democratic Senate President John Cullerton of Chicago and Minority Leader Christine Radogno of Lemont told the Chicago Tribune editorial board that the proposal will get a Senate vote Wednesday.

Even if the Senate approves the income tax increase, borrowing $7 billion to pay off bills, a new tax on sugary drinks, expanding legalized gambling, tightening workers’ compensation rules and freezing local property taxes for two years, there’s no guarantee that the House will consider them, under the leadership of Democratic Speaker Michael Madigan of Chicago.

“We’re not negotiating with the House or the governor. We’re trying to see if we can get a bill out of one chamber,” said Cullerton, adding that if it goes to the House, he hopes it “would

Police seek 9 charged after Christmas Eve mall fight

GURNEE – Police in Gurnee are asking the public to help them find nine people who face charges after a Christmas Eve mall fight.

Gurnee police on Thursday said arrest warrants were issued for seven adults and two juveniles on charges ranging from mob action to aggravated battery.

The (Waukegan) News Sun reported the charges result from a fight Dec. 24 between two groups of people at Gurnee Mills mall.

Authorities said prosecutors obtained the arrest warrants after police finished their investigation using security camera footage, YouTube video and help from Waukegan police and mall security.

Police said the fight stemmed from an ongoing dispute between the two

replicate our efforts and pass their own agreed bill and then we could reconcile those two so we could send something to the governor.”

The package is designed to break the budget stalemate between lawmakers and Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner. Rauner has insisted on including changes to lower workers’ compensation costs, weaken unions, lower property taxes and limit politicians’ power. Madigan has refused to deal on those issues, calling them separate from the budget.

Cullerton told the editorial board such distinctions are “semantics.” He and Radogno noted their compromise was borne of frustration by rank-andfile senators of both parties who wanted to try to break the impasse.

The day chosen for a floor vote will be a busy one – it’s the day Rauner will give his annual State of the State address.

But the Senate is not only trying to move swiftly toward fiscal balance, but to beat the opposition.

“There’s lobbyists out there working against us and we have to overcome that,” Cullerton said.

Judge in ex-congressman’s trial recuses herself

SPRINGFIELD – A federal judge who was to preside over the corruption trial of former Illinois Congressman Aaron Schock has recused herself.

U.S. District Judge Sue Myerscough on Thursday stepped down from the trial, agreeing with defense attorneys that several issues could create an appearance of Aaron bias.

Schock One of the issues is Schock’s work with former Sen. Mark Kirk in 2011 to get President Barack Obama to sign a commission for Judge James E. Shadid before one for Myerscough. That gave Shadid seniority and allowed him to become chief judge for the Central District of Illinois over Myerscough In her ruling, Myerscough insisted she could remain impartial. But she agreed

4 plead not guilty to fraud charges in Rockford

ROCKFORD – Four Rockford residents were arrested on federal charges of food stamp fraud and wire fraud.

The Rockford Register Star reported that the residents are accused of accepting Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits in exchange for cash.

All four people have pleaded not guilty.

If convicted, they could face up to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000 for each wire fraud count.

Federal authorities raided and seized paperwork from several businesses Wednesday.

John G. McKenzie is the assistant U.S. attorney in Rockford. Citing the ongoing investigation, he declined to comment on whether other businesses were involved.

Officer responding to call dies after crash

BLOOMINGDALE – Authorities said a Bloomingdale police officer has died after crashing an SUV while responding to a call about a crime in progress at a business.

Police said 27-year-old Raymond Murrell was involved in a single-vehicle crash Thursday night. He was taken to a hospital and police said he was pronounced dead.

Bloomingdale police Chief Frank Giammarese said Murrell was on the force less than a year. Murrell’s fellow officers and local emergency crews responded to the crash involving the unmarked police SUV, which had emergency lights on at the time of the crash.

Giammarese said Murrell was “a shining star” with a bright future. He and another officer were recently recognized for saving a heart-attack victim.

The cause of the crash is under investigation.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS George H.W. Bush, wife, showing improvement

HOUSTON – Doctors removed former President George H.W. Bush’s breathing tube Friday and he was breathing well on his own at a Houston hospital, his spokesman said.

The tube was inserted Wednesday while the 92-yearold former president was being treated for pneumonia. Bush remains in intensive care at Houston Methodist Hospital but is comfortable, family spokesman Jim McGrath said.

“He was extubated this morning, and is breathing well on his own with minimal supplemental oxygen,” McGrath said. “President Bush is comfortable and watching inauguration coverage together with Mrs. Bush, their son Neil and daughter-in-law Maria.”

Former first lady Barbara Bush also remained hospitalized Friday for treatment of bronchitis, but she’s feeling better and “focusing on spending time with her husband,” McGrath said.

The 91-year-old is expected to remain in the hospital over the weekend as a precaution.

IS in Syria destroys part of Roman theater

BEIRUT – Islamic State militants have destroyed parts of the second-century Roman amphitheater and an iconic monument known as the Tetrapylon in Syria’s historic town of

Palmyra, the government and experts said Friday.

It was the extremist group’s latest attack on world heritage, an act that the U.N. cultural agency called a “war crime.”

A Syrian government official said he feared for the remaining antiquities in Palmyra, which IS recaptured last month.

The U.N. Security Council “strongly condemned the ongoing barbaric attacks” by the militant group in Syria, “including the destruction of cultural heritage such as parts of the Roman Theater in Palmyra.”

Man arrested in Ecuador in NYC theft of gold flakes

NEW YORK – A fugitive wanted for the brazen theft of an 86-pound bucket of gold flakes worth nearly $1.6 million off an armored truck in midtown Manhattan has been arrested in Ecuador, police said Friday.

U.S. Homeland Security investigators and New York City and Ecuadorean police apprehended Julio Nivelo, who also uses aliases.

In Ecuador, prosecutor Maria Aguirre said Nivelo would be tried in the country for theft. Ecuador does not permit extradition.

Nivelo was arrested Thursday after leaving the home of a relative, where he had been living, said police Col. Carlos Coloma.

Officials tracked him from New York through Florida, they said.

El Chapo is hauled off to ultra-secure U.S. jail The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK – In a scene U.S. authorities had dreamed of for decades, Mexican drug lord and escape artist Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman was hauled into an American courtroom Friday and then taken away to an ultra-secure jail that has held some of the world’s most dangerous terrorists and mobsters.

Holding his unshackled hands behind his back, a dazed-looking Guzman entered a not guilty plea through his lawyers to drug trafficking and other charges at a Brooklyn courthouse ringed by squad cars, officers with assault rifles and bomb-sniffing dogs.

“He’s a man known for a life of crime, violence, death and destruction, and now he’ll have to answer for that,” Robert Capers, the U.S. attorney in Brooklyn, said at a news conference.

The court appearance came hours after Guzman’s Thursday night extradition from Mexico, where he had become something of a folk hero for two brazen prison escapes.

Guzman was ordered held without bail and was expected to be kept in a special Manhattan jail unit where other highrisk inmates – including Mafia boss John Gotti and several close associates of Osama bin Laden – spent their time awaiting trial.

“It is difficult to imagine another person with a greater risk of fleeing prosecution,” prosecutors wrote in court papers.

Prosecutors described Guzman as the murderous overseer of a three-decade campaign of smuggling, brutality and corruption that made his Sinaloa drug cartel a fortune while fueling an epidemic of cocaine abuse and related violence in the U.S. in the 1980s and ’90s.

by Mexican navy marines at a navy hanger Feb. 22, 2014, in Mexico City. Mexico’s government said Thursday that it has extradited Guzman to the U.S. to face drug trafficking and other charges. prison if convicted. To get Mexico to hand him over, prosecutors agreed not to seek the death penalty. They also are demanding he forfeit $14 billion in assets.

Outside court, Guzman defense attorney Michael Schneider said: “I haven’t seen any evidence that indicates to me that Mr. Guzman’s done anything wrong.” He said he would look into whether his client was extradited properly.

The U.S. had been trying to get custody of Guzman since he was first indicted in California in the early 1990s.

American authorities finally got their wish on the eve of Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration, although it was unclear if the timing of the extradition was intended as a sign of respect to the Republican or some kind of slap, perhaps an effort to let outgoing Democratic President Barack Obama take the credit.

When Guzman got off a plane in New York, “as you looked into his eyes, you could see the surprise, you could see the shock, and to a certain extent, you could see the fear, as the realization kicked in that he’s about to face American justice,” said Angel Melendez, a U.S. Immigration and Cus-

toms Enforcement agent.

While Guzman faces federal charges in several U.S. states, federal prosecutors in Brooklyn won the jockeying to get the case. The U.S. attorney’s office in Brooklyn has substantial experience prosecuting international drug cartel cases and was once led by outgoing U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch.

New York also boasts one of the most secure lockups in the U.S., the Metropolitan Correctional Center in lower Manhattan. The drab-looking building is protected by steel barricades that can stop up to 7½ tons of speeding truck, and the area is watched by cameras capable of reading a newspaper a block away.

The jail’s inmates have included Ramzi Yousef, who was the architect of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, and multibillion-dollar Ponzi scheme king Bernard Madoff.

In the special high-security wing for the riskiest inmates, around a dozen prisoners spend 23 hours a day in roughly 20-by-12-foot cells, prohibited from communicating with one another. Meals are eaten in cells, and exercise is in a recreation area specifically for these inmates.

PRESIDENTIAL INAUGURATION

‘It’s going to be America first’

Assertive but untested, Trump sworn in as 45th U.S. president

By JULIE PACE

The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Pledging emphatically to empower America’s “forgotten men and women,” Donald Trump was sworn in Friday as the 45th president of the United States, taking command of a riven nation facing an unpredictable era under his assertive but untested leadership.

Under cloudy, threatening skies at the West Front of the U.S. Capitol, Trump painted a bleak picture of the America he now leads, declaring as he had throughout the election campaign that it is beset by crime, poverty and a lack of bold action. The billionaire businessman and reality TV star – the first president who had never held political office or high military rank – promised to stir a “new national pride” and protect America from the “ravages” of countries he says have stolen U.S. jobs.

“This American carnage stops right here,” Trump declared. In a warning to the world, he said, “From this day forward, a new vision will govern our land. From this moment on, it’s going to be America first.”

Eager to demonstrate his readiness to take actions, Trump went directly to the Oval Office on Friday night, before the inaugural balls, and signed his first executive order as president – on “Obamacare.” Chief of Staff Reince Priebus said it was an order to federal departments “minimizing the economic burden” of President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act. He would provide no details.

Trump also signed commissions for two former generals confirmed to Cabinet posts earlier by the Senate: James Mattis as secretary of defense and John Kelly to head the Department of Homeland Security. Vice President Mike Pence swore them in soon after.

At the inauguration, the crowd that spread out before Trump on the National Mall was notably smaller than at past inaugurals, reflecting both the divisiveness of last year’s campaign

After the swearing-in, demonstrations unfolded in the streets of Washington. Police in riot gear deployed pepper spray after protesters smashed the windows of downtown businesses, denouncing capitalism and the new president.

Police reported more than 200 arrests by evening and said six officers had been hurt. At least one vehicle was set afire.

Short and pointed, Trump’s 16-minute address in the heart of Washington was a blistering rebuke of many who listened from privileged seats only feet away. Surrounded by men and women who have long filled the government’s corridors of power, the new president said that for too long, “a small group in our nation’s capital has reaped the rewards of government while the people have borne the cost.”

His predecessor, Obama, sat stoically as Trump pledged to push the country in a dramatically different direction.

Trump’s victory gives Republicans control of both the White House and Congress – and all but ensures conservatives can quickly pick up a seat on the closely divided Supreme Court.

Despite entering a time of Republican dominance, Trump made little mention of the party’s bedrock principles: small government, social conservativism and robust American leadership around the world.

He left no doubt he considers himself the product of a movement – not a party.

Trump declared his moment a fulfillment of his campaign pledge to take a sledgehammer to Washington’s traditional ways, and he spoke directly to the alienated and disaffected.

“What truly matters is not which party controls our government, but whether our government is controlled

by the people,” he said. “To all Americans in every city near and far, small and large from mountain to mountain, from ocean to ocean, hear these words: You will never be ignored again.”

But the speech offered scant outreach to the millions who did not line up behind his candidacy.

Trump’s call for restrictive immigration measures, religious screening of immigrants and his caustic campaign rhetoric about women and minorities angered millions. He did not directly address that opposition, instead offering a call to “speak our minds openly, debate our disagreements honestly, but always pursue solidarity.”

While Trump did not detail policy proposals Friday, he did set a high bar for his presidency. The speech was full of the onetime showman’s lofty promises to bring back jobs, “completely”

Despite Trump’s ominous portrait of America, he is taking the helm of a growing economy. Jobs have increased for a record 75 straight months, and the unemployment rate was 4.7 percent in December, close to a nine-year low.

Yet Trump’s victory underscored that for many Americans, the recovery from the Great Recession has come slowly or not at all. His campaign tapped into seething anger in working-class communities, particularly in the Midwest, that have watched factories shuttered and the certainty of a middle class life wiped away.

Randy Showalter, a 36-year-old diesel mechanic and father of five from Mount Solon, Virginia, said he felt inspired as he stood and listened to Trump’s speech.

“I feel like there’s an American pride that I’ve never felt, honestly, in my life,” said Showalter, who donned Trump’s signature “Make America Great Again” red hat.

Trump’s journey to the inauguration was as unlikely as any in recent U.S. history. He defied his party’s establishment and befuddled the news media. He used social media to dominate the national conversation and challenge conventions about political discourse. After years of Democratic control of the White House and deadlock in Washington, his was a blast of fresh air for millions.

At 70, Trump is the oldest person to be sworn in as president, marking a generational step backward after two terms for Obama, one of the youngest presidents to serve as commander in chief.

The 44th president, who will continue to live in Washington, left the city after the swearing-in ceremony for a family vacation in California.

At a farewell celebration with staff members at Joint Base Andrews, he thanked them for having “proved the power of hope.”

While Trump bucked convention as a candidate, he embraced the pomp and pageantry of the inaugural celebrations. He was sworn in by Chief Justice John Roberts, reciting the 35word oath with his hand placed upon two Bibles, one used by his family and another during President Abraham Lincoln’s inauguration. During an afternoon parade, he stepped outside the armored presidential limousine with his wife, Melania, and his 10-year-old son, Barron, to walk two brief stretches of Pennsylvania Avenue.

Protests erupt near parade route The ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON – Protesters registered their rage against the new president Friday in a chaotic confrontation with police who used pepper spray and stun grenades in a melee just blocks from President Donald Trump’s inaugural parade. At least 217 people were arrested for rioting while a burning limousine sent clouds of black smoke into the sky during Trump’s procession.

Several spirited demonstrations unfolded peacefully at various security checkpoints near the Capitol as police helped ticket-holders get through to the inaugural ceremony. Signs read, “Resist Trump Climate Justice Now,” “Let Freedom Ring” and “Free Palestine.”

But about a mile from the National Mall, police gave chase to a group of about 100 protesters who smashed the windows of downtown businesses including a Starbucks, a Bank of America and a McDonald’s as they denounced capitalism and Trump. Police in riot gear used pepper spray from large canisters and eventually cordoned off protesters at 12th and L streets in northwest Washington.

“They began to destroy property, throw objects at people, through win-

dows. A large percentage of this small group was armed with crowbars and hammers,” said the city’s interim police chief, Peter Newsham.

Six officers suffered minor injuries, he said.

The confrontation began an hour before Trump took the oath of office and escalated several hours later as the crowd of protesters swelled to more than 1,000, some wearing gas masks and with arms chained together inside PVC pipe. One said the demonstrators were “bringing in the cavalry.”

When some crossed police lines, taunting, “Put the pigs in the ground,” police charged with batons and pepper spray, as well as stun grenades, which are used to shock and disperse crowds.

Loud booms echoed through the streets about six blocks from where Trump would soon hold his inaugural parade.

Some protesters picked up bricks and concrete from the sidewalk and hurled them at police lines. Some rolled large, metal trash cans at police.

The limousine was attacked on the perimeter of the secured zone. As Trump and his parade of celebrants moved along Pennsylvania Avenue, the vehicle was ablaze, tainting the air for blocks and sending protesters and pass-

ers-by moving swiftly away.

As night fell, young protesters ignited a large bonfire blocks from the White House in McPherson Square. They carried signs such as “Hail to the Thief” and hung an upside-down American flag as women in gowns and men in tuxedos passed by, presumably en route to one of the inaugural balls.

Police said protesters damaged vehicles, destroyed property and set small fires while armed with crowbars and hammers. All 217 people arrested were charged with rioting, Newsham said, noting that the group caused “significant damage” along a number of blocks.

Before Inauguration Day, the DisruptJ20 coalition, named after the date of the inauguration, had promised that people participating in its actions in Washington would attempt to shut down the celebrations, risking arrest when necessary.

Trump supporter Brett Ecker said the protesters were frustrating but weren’t going to put a damper on his day.

“They’re just here to stir up trouble,” the 36-year-old public school teacher said. “It upsets me a little bit that people choose to do this, but yet again, it’s one of the things I love about this country.”

OUR VIEW: THUMBS-UP, THUMBS-DOWN

Thumbs-up to successful power transfer Thumbs-up: To another successful and mostly peaceful transfer of power. After a contentious campaign that included violent protests, threatening phrases such as “Lock her up” and 11thhour bombshells that embarrassed both major party candidates, Donald Trump was sworn in Friday as the 45th president of the United States with few problems. Yes, there were protests, clashes with police and arrests, but that’s unfortunately standard fare. Thank you to Barack Obama for his eight years of service. Good luck to President Trump in his first term in office.

Thumbs-down: We never thought we’d say this, but thumbs down to warm weather in winter. One good reason? It’s postponed the Norge Ski Club’s Ski Jumping Championships for the first time in more than 100 years. Norge is one of the great community events in McHenry County, and we hope the continued warmth of the planet will at least slow down for Feb. 11 and 12, the rescheduled dates for the tournament.

Thumbs-down (again): January’s strange weather has us writing this one twice. We’re no fans of harsh winters, but living in northern Illinois, we’ve learned to make the best of the cold and the snow. Not only has Norge been affected, but McHenry County organizations have planned ice fishing derbies, hockey tournaments, the Chili Open, which is golf played on the frozen lake, and candlelight skis, all of which likely will need to be adapted, canceled or postponed in the face of rain and temperatures in the mid-50s. We’re not asking for a blizzard, but some crisp days with bright skies and snow on the ground in February would be a welcome change.

Thumbs-up: To the city of Crystal Lake, which is welcoming some new proprietors to town that residents and people in the surrounding area are excited about – a Mariano’s grocery store that’s slated for the Sears building along Route 14 and M Supper Club just down the road, which is owned by a group that includes Dave Perlick, the chef of Algonquin’s renowned Montarra Grill. All new business is great news, but based on Northwest Herald reader response, people are particularly happy about these two ventures. We wish them much success.

ANOTHER VIEW

Defending the tax collectors

Few Cabinet positions are more important than secretary of the treasury. President Donald Trump’s choice for the job, Steven Mnuchin, is a smart financier who knows his way around a balance sheet.

That much was evident during Mnuchin’s confirmation hearing before the Senate Finance Committee. Under aggressive questioning by Democrats, Mnuchin defended his takeover of the failing IndyMac bank at the height of the 2008 panic: Housing advocacy groups have said he and his partners made a killing by turning the institution into a “foreclosure machine.” While acknowledging the mistakes and excesses that sometimes cost borrowers their homes, Mnuchin reminded the committee that his group took over IndyMac’s distressed loan portfolio in response to the federal government’s search for private investors to bail it out so as to limit taxpayer losses.

He was less successful in explaining his belated disclosure of more than $100 million in assets until the eve of the hearing, or in

explaining how the Trump tax cuts would not blow a large hole in federal finances; instead, he invoked the Trump team’s boosterish forecasts for economic growth as an elixir for deficits. On at least one important point, however, Mnuchin followed the encouraging example of previous Trump Cabinet nominees who have disagreed at their hearings with the president-elect’s more dubious policies or attitudes. Specifically, Mnuchin said that trade policy is not about limiting imports, it’s about growing exports, an implicit but obvious contrast to Trump’s blaming of China’s perfidy for the trade deficit and threats to slap tariffs on imports from Mexico.

Most refreshingly, Mnuchin was willing to dispute Republican orthodoxy regarding the Internal Revenue Service, the perennial whipping boy of the GOP. The IRS, which resides within the Treasury Department, has lost 17 percent of its budget in real terms since 2010, along with 23 percent of its enforcement staff, thanks in part to reflexive hostility to the tax-collection agency from

the GOP in Congress. Mnuchin told the committee that he is “very concerned” about the lack of staff and up- to-date technology at the IRS. Modernizing the IRS would be “one of my great priorities,” Mnuchin said. He assured the committee that “the president-elect understands the concept of where we add people, we make money.”

Sen. Mike Crapo, R-Idaho, asked Mnuchin to guarantee that the IRS would never use its powers to target individuals because of their political views. This was an allusion to the “scandal,” hyped by Republicans, about supposed IRS harassment of conservative groups. But the point could apply equally well to the next president, who would be in a position to abuse the IRS’s power to quash legitimate political opposition. “You have my 100 percent assurance,” Mnuchin replied, thus accepting a key limitation on executive power, and a standard to which every administration must be held.

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.

Will Trump end globalization?

The doubt haunts World Economic Forum’s elite

By PAN PYLAS and JAMEY KEATEN The Associated Press

DAVOS, Switzerland – It’s been impossible to escape the shadow of Donald Trump at this year’s gathering of the business elites at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

Uncertainty over whether Trump’s presidency will mark the end of globalization dominated discussions all week at an event synonymous with international business.

Sure, lofty ambitions were discussed, from fighting epidemics to dealing with inequalities across the world. But inevitably all talk turned to Trump, who has promised to rewrite free trade deals and even slap tariffs on China, the world’s second-largest economy.

“Do I really think we’re gonna go back to protectionism? I don’t really know yet, and I can promise you I’m paying a lot of attention to it because trade matters to us,” said David Cote, chairman and CEO of industrial conglomerate Honeywell. “It’s a little too early to press the panic button; we ought to see what ends up happening here.”

Roberto Azevedo, director-general of the World Trade Organization, the body

that oversees trading rules, reminded delegates of the 1930s, when governments raised tariffs and wiped out twothirds of global trade in three years.

“You don’t want to see that now. That would be a catastrophe of untold proportions,” he said.

“I think we should try not to talk ourselves into a trade war and I think we’re seeing a lot of that.”

There’s a perception among many middle- and lower-income households in developed economies such as the U.S. and Europe that globalization hasn’t worked for them. And it’s that unease that many say was behind Trump’s victory and Britain’s vote to leave the European Union.

will emerge as a winner in a trade war.”

The road ahead

The key will be what policies Trump actually puts in motion, and whether other countries follow the temptation to throw up bigger barriers to business.

Britain will renegotiate its trade relations with the rest of the EU this year.

Populist political movements have risen in countries such as the Philippines and are increasingly prominent in rich nations such as France and Italy.

“We may be at a point where globalization is ending,” said Ray Dalio, founder of hedge fund Bridgewater Associates.

German finance minister Wolfgang Schaeuble, however, expressed doubt that the West would leave the defense of free trade to Chinese leadership.

Beyond Trump, Christine Lagarde, managing director of the International Monetary Fund, said the broader international system must change to deal with the growing inequalities evident in the Oxfam report.

Theresa May, Britain’s prime minister, sought to convince the Davos elite that Britain was not retreating from the global scene. But she did concede that policymakers have to support those for whom globalization is not working.

“The forces of liberalism, free trade and globalization that have had, and continue to have, such an overwhelmingly positive impact on our world ... are somehow at risk of being undermined,” she said.

NEW YORK – Adele is set to take the stage at next month’s Grammy Awards, where she is nominated for album, song and record of the year.

The Recording Academy announced Friday that Adele will perform at the Feb. 12 show at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Previously announced performers include Metallica, Carrie Underwood, John Legend and Keith Urban.

Adele had a hiccup during her Grammy performance last year after a microphone inside a piano fell onto the instrument’s strings.

This year the 10-time Grammy winner has five nominations.

President-elect Donald Trump gives a thumbs-up as first lady Michelle Obama and Melania Trump talk Friday at the White House in Washington.

Melania Trump wears sky-blue Ralph Lauren for inauguration Incoming first lady Melania Trump wore a sky-blue cashmere jacket and mock turtleneck dress by Ralph Lauren, the brand that designed so many Hillary Clinton pantsuits, on Inauguration Day. “It was important to us to uphold and celebrate the tradition of creating iconic American style for this moment,” the Lauren corporation said in a statement.

With her hair in a soft updo and wearing long, sky-blue suede gloves and matching stilettos, Melania Trump was greeted at the White House by President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama, the latter in a deep-red belted short-sleeve tweed dress by Jason Wu.

President Donald Trump, wearing a red tie and black overcoat, opted to leave his suit jacket unbuttoned.

Trump’s oldest daughter, Ivanka, chose white Oscar de la Renta and wore a tiny American flag pin, and Hillary Clinton showed up in an off-white Ralph Lauren pantsuit that harkened back to one she wore in July to accept the Democratic nomination for president. Her overcoat matched the ensemble.

Tiffany Trump also opted for white and wore a double-breasted coat.

Who else made a large fashion statement for Trump’s big day? His senior adviser, Kellyanne Conway, in a Gucci military-style wool coat of red, white and blue, with two rows of cat-head buttons and a red cloche hat.

Decor with a past

Recylables move from scrap heap to style file

By KIM COOK

The Associated Press

R

ecycling has become the norm in many communities. The detritus of our daily lives – plastic, glass, metal and paper – makes its weekly trek to processing plants across the country.

Much of it gets made into new versions of itself: Your empty corn tin might end up as your next bean can. Smelting brings glass jars back to life. Newsprint and wrapping come out of a pulpy stew as new paper.

And the home decor industry, too, is finding inspiration for new furnishings in the recycling boom. Large furniture companies and smaller studios are either repurposing their own production waste, or sourcing discards and leftover materials to make new goods.

It’s a smart way to offer sustainably produced products, encourage design R&D and perhaps cut industrial disposal costs.

Plastics are a significant part of this initiative. Ikea product developer Anna Granath, collaborating with the Stockholm, Sweden-based studio Form Us With Love, came up with a new covering material for a kitchen cabinet door made from processed plastic bottles, and the door itself is made of recycled, shredded wood.

A rich matte, charcoal-hued finish belies the modest price of the Kungsbacka cabinetry.

“Sustainability should be for many people, not just for those who can afford it,” Granath said.

Even the leftover plastic film used to wrap furniture palettes is ground into pellets to make the Skrutt desk pad.

Designers and manufacturers are finding creative ways to recycle waste products and castoffs.

Broom chair, a sleek stacking chair that’s made of 75 percent waste polypropylene and 15 percent reclaimed wood fiber. The name is a play on the chair’s origins.

“Imagine,” Starck said, “a guy who takes a humble broom and starts to clean the workshop, and with this dust he makes new magic.”

Emeco isn’t new to the recycled material/new furniture game. Their aluminum Navy chair, commissioned during World War II, has been made of recycled aluminum since the 1940s. The material withstood the rigors of warfare and sea air. The company even has collaborated with Coca-Cola to turn soda bottles into plastic versions of the chair. (www.emeco.net) Ikea is premiering its own plastic and wood-fiber chair early this year. The Odger will come in a range of colors and wood finishes.

Dutch designer Dirk Vander Kooij makes his Melting Pot dining tables out of discarded plastic toys, videotapes and computer parts.

The heated components meld into abstract patterns, with no two tables being the same. Vander Kooij also recycles his test pieces and waste plastics, extruding them into new chairs, cabinetry and even music speakers, using an enormous industrial robot arm. He created the arm himself, and won the Dutch Design Award for it in 2011.

Vander Kooij thinks we have a misplaced notion

plastics are only cheap and throwaway. In fact, transforming them can create new and enduring designs: “Recycled material is unique, and has a history that literally can be seen in the product,” he said. “That gives particular beauty and layering.” (www.dirkvanderkooij.com) Another Netherlands-based designer, Tamara Orjola, found new life for discards from the timber industry.

“There’s more to the tree than just wood; pine needles account for 20 to 30 percent of its mass,” she said.

So she came up with the idea of cooking the needles into a material she calls “forest wool,” which can be made into biodegradable textiles and furniture. (www. tamaraorjola.com)

You’re going on vacation, but what about your plants?

By LEE REICH

The Associated Press Winter, especially early winter, is a good time of year for gardeners to travel.

Houseplants now are most tolerant of neglect and, if we plan a little, they can even thrive in our absence.

Lack of water is the major threat to neglected plants. But you know how long your plants can go between waterings.

So if your trip to Florida is for eight days and you’ve been watering your schefflera every five days, just give the plant a thorough soaking and then add a little extra water to its saucer. The plant will be fine.

If you’re skipping off for a one-month tour through Brazil, you better do something more with your houseplants before you leave. The key to plant survival, in this case, is either to supply water to the plants, to decrease their water needs, or a little of both.

Keeping plants supplied with water

This can test your ability to cajole friends, relatives or neighbors. But beware of entrusting plant care to those unfamiliar with your plants’ peculiarities; my cyclamen needs water every few days, while some of my succulents go all winter without a drop of water.

I use inexpensive automatic watering devices if my absence is to be longer than two weeks. A cotton rope, with one

This undated photo shows a lemon tree in New Paltz, N.Y. The plant will be able to go a long time without water because of the “watering cone” being pushed into the soil. end buried in the soil and the other end dipped in a pan of water, will wick water to drying soil.

Another device, slightly more expensive but also more reliable, consists of a hollow, porous ceramic cone with one end of a long, flexible tube sealed into its lid. The cone and the tube are filled with water. They’re sold as “plant watering stakes” or “plant watering cones.” The cone is pushed into the soil and the far end of the tube is immersed in a jar of water. Water lost from the soil is replenished by water drawn in from the

reservoir.

Do not immerse plants in a deep container of water in an effort to provide them with an extended supply. Under water, the roots will suffocate and rot.

Decreasing plants’ water needs

Plants have little holes in their leaves, called stomata, which let gases in for photosynthesis and let water out (transpiration). Moving a plant from a bright window to a dimly lit corner decreases photosynthesis, so stomata stay closed more often, and transpiration decreas-

es. Left too long without enough light, however, plants get starved for energy (which comes from photosynthesis) and leaves turn sickly and yellow.

Transpiration is how to keep plants cool. Lowering the air temperature will decrease plant transpiration and, hence, water use. This fits well with a traveler’s needs: No need to keep your house warm while you’re away on vacation.

Yet another way to slow transpiration is to raise the humidity around your plants. I cluster plants together and fill their saucers with a shallow depth of water. For a longer vacation, I drape clear plastic, such as a cut-open dry-cleaning bag, over the plants. Sticks poked into the soil keep the plastic off plants’ leaves.

Clear plastic “umbrellas” are sold that do essentially the same thing in a neater way.

With a combination of diminished light, high humidity, automatic watering devices and perhaps the help of a friend, plants could fare well this time of year even after your month-long vacation.

Caution: None of this advice applies to succulents, which include cacti and other fleshy plants such as jade plants and sedums. These plants thrive on dry conditions, and rot if exposed to too much water, either in the air or at their roots. In this respect, they are almost ideal houseplants. Go away on vacation and forget about them; tell your “plant sitter” that too.

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

I started gardening with my Busia [Polish for grandmother] in Chicago at age 3. Busia had a huge garden and grew a lot of her own food. She also had many flowers, including peony and dahlia. I originally had hoped to teach biology in high school, and much of my early college was oriented toward a Bachelor of Science degree in botany. I ended up becoming a paramedic and have spent the past 42 years in the fire service, 24 now as fire chief in Spring Grove. After becoming a Master Gardener, I went back

to the University of Illinois for a master’s degree in crop science and now spend most of my “other” career teaching for McHenry County College in the college’s Horticulture Department (Urban Ag classes).

What is your gardening specialty and why? Fruits and vegetables and organic gardening. I wrote the chapter for the Illinois Master Gardener Manual on Organic Gardening.

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

On my 5 acres in Spring Grove, there is an orchard of apples, pears, peaches and cherries. The vegetable gardens grow most every typical veggie: tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, eggplant, onions, leeks, garlic, beans, peas, summer

Meet the Masters

so I spend much of my time teaching, either new Master Gardeners or speaking to various groups. And now I teach at MCC. What tips do you have for someone who is just getting started, either with their own garden or in training to become a Master Gardener?

Start small. Grow what you like to eat, or like to grow. Keep the garden near the house so it does not become overrun with weeds (out of sight, out of mind). Spend a little time each day in the garden, not only to do the necessary work (harvest, insect, disease and weed scouting and then control), but also for enjoyment and stress relief.

Electric toothbrush worth cost Dear Doctor: My husband, who never met a gadget he didn’t like, wants our family to switch from regular toothbrushes to electric ones. He insists it’s worth the cost because electric toothbrushes do a better job. Is he right, or is this just an excuse for another fun toy?

Dear Reader: Can it be both? Research in the last few years shows your gadget-loving spouse is right – electric toothbrushes do have an edge over the muscle-powered variety when it comes to keeping plaque and gingivitis at bay. Add in the fact kids seem to enjoy the noise and buzz, and for the elderly or those with arthritis these toothbrushes are easier to use, and the electric variety deserves a closer look.

The key to good oral health is a regular routine of brushing your teeth to remove plaque. That’s the soft, sticky film that builds up in the mouth and which contains millions of bacteria. Those bacteria contribute to gum disease and tooth decay, which are the primary causes of tooth loss. Keeping your teeth free of plaque (and keeping the spaces between your teeth free of debris) is essential.

When used properly, the manual toothbrush is a very effective tool. Also, it’s a fraction of the cost of an electric, which starts in the $20 range and goes (way) up from there.

However, in multiple studies in which researchers followed two groups, one that used manual toothbrushes and another group that used the electric variety, differences arose. At the end of three months, the group using an electric toothbrush showed 20 percent better plaque removal and 11 percent less gingivitis than the group using the manual toothbrush. In studies that ran six months and longer, the benefits of the electric toothbrush were even more pronounced.

The differences don’t end there.

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Elizabeth Ko and Eve Glazier Electric toothbrushes fall into two different categories, those that spin and those that vibrate. Spinning brushes average from 2,500 up to 7,000 strokes a minute, depending on the model. The vibrating variety, also known as sonic brushes, move at up to 40,000 strokes a minute.

Studies show (yes, there are studies for just about everything), when used for six months or longer, the sonic variety of electric toothbrush was better than the rotating type at reducing inflammation due to gingivitis.

Of course, none of these kinds of toothbrush will do much good if they’re used improperly or not at all. Technique and timing are everything. Be sure to spend a full two minutes a session and brush the front, back and chewing surface of each tooth.

Don’t forget about your molars, which can be hard to reach. And note that, for an electric toothbrush, brush heads need to be replaced on a regular basis.

One final thought – with so many small battles to be fought when it comes to children and hygiene, the fact kids (of all ages) seem to enjoy electric toothbrushes might be a point in the plus column.

The sound, motion and sensation, to say nothing of the many fanciful shapes and colors now available in kids’ toothbrushes, achieve the seemingly impossible. That is, they make brushing your teeth fun.

Because your parents and hers are close, they can socialize as adults, with no offspring involved.

Dear Abby: My husband lacks sympathy.

When people die, he has the attitude of, “Oh well, people die.” I thought he would change once someone close to him died, but his father died a few months ago, and although he shed some tears, he refused to eulogize him at the funeral and is back to his old attitude. His mother is the same way.

Recently, my grown son phoned me in the middle of the night to let me know that his best friend’s dad had died. He was very upset and needed to talk. My husband was annoyed that he woke us about someone we didn’t even know, and went on to say how ridiculous it was that my son was so upset.

I told him, as a mom, I will talk my son through any problem, whether he agrees with it or not. He just grumbled and went back to sleep.

This still is bothering me. I wonder how my husband will act toward my children if I die first. I worry he will say “suck it up and stop crying” when they need him the most. I don’t think this is worth ending a 30-year marriage over, but it makes me angry he is so unsympathetic. Any ideas on how I should handle this? – Full Of Feeling

Kathy's Estate Sales Liquidations & Consignment 847-363-4814 Dr. Stephen Hawking said, “We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the universe. That makes us something very special.”

Bridge players understand that minor suits are the poor cousins of the game. They are fine as a strain for a slam (as the columns for the last four days have shown), but when we are bidding only game, we tend to steer full bore into no-trump or a major. However, not always.

Look at the South hand. You open one club, and partner responds three clubs, a game-invitational limit raise.

What would you do now?

You could shut your eyes and rebid three no-trump, but here you would immediately lose five heart tricks. Instead, investigate stoppers at the three-level. Rebid three diamonds, which says that you have at least one stopper in this suit, but are wide open in one of the majors.

When North rebids three spades, he indicates values there but not in hearts. (If he had stoppers in both majors, he would rebid three notrump.) Now you know to avoid three no-trump and sign off in five clubs.

The auction has told West what to lead. He can even choose a low heart, underleading an ace at trick one! The defenders take two heart tricks, then, say, shift to a diamond.

You must draw trumps without loss. That will be no problem if they are 2-1, but what if they are 3-0?

If West has all three, you have no chance. But in case East does, start with dummy’s club king. When West discards a spade (playing a black card on a black card, hoping you are not paying proper attention), you take the club finesse, draw East’s last trump and claim.

They’re not picky An independent football league debuting in April is embracing high-profile NFL players who were shunned, extending invitations to Johnny Manziel and Ray Rice and lining up several former draft picks.

Spring League CEO Brian Woods told The Associated Press he had conversations with representatives for Rice and Vince Young, and challenged Manziel to prove himself on the field in a few months.

BOYS BASKETBALL: JACOBS 54, McHENRY 40

Eagles take over

Run at end of first half lifts Jacobs in FVC

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com McHENRY – Everything was going Jacobs’ way toward the end of the first half.

First, Ajani Rodriguez’s air ball on a 3-point attempt looked more like an assist, as Cooper Schwartz caught it in stride for a layup.

Then, as the Golden Eagles had a chance to hold for the last shot, Ryan Phillips missed with 14 seconds remaining, giving McHenry an opportunity.

Phillips stole a pass with 5 seconds remaining and raced for a layup.

“I jumped the (passing) lane and finished the half,” Phillips said. “We went in at halftime and were saying, ‘This is fun stuff, it’s a fun game. Let’s go out there and compete, play on the defensive end, and the offense will come.’ Fortunately, we did that.”

Schwartz hit a pair of 3s in the first 1:48 of the second half, and Jacobs defeated the Warriors, 54-40, in their Fox Valley Conference boys basketball game Friday night at McHenry’s West Campus.

Jacobs (15-1, 6-1 FVC) was behind 1916 midway through the second quarter and closed the half on an 11-2 run.

“When we started making shots it becomes contagious, and other guys started hitting,” said Schwartz, who finished with 10 points. “In the first half we were getting good looks and just couldn’t knock them down. When Cam’s making a 3, you know it’s a good night.”

Jacobs’ 6-foot-9 center Cameron Krutwig scored a team-high 16 points and grabbed 12 rebounds. He hit his first 3-point attempt of the season. Phillips added 10 points.

Gavin Markgraff led the Warriors (109, 5-2) with 17 points. Matthew Mohr had six points and 10 rebounds.

“Our kids did a good job (defensively), cranked it up another notch or so (in the third quarter),” Eagles coach Jimmy Roberts said. “We didn’t shoot it great tonight, but we talked about toughness. No matter how we shoot it, if we have what we define as toughness, we’re going to be in good shape.”

The Eagles took over sole possession of second place in the FVC behind Prai-

Jacobs won, 54-40. rie Ridge, which handed them their only loss of the season Saturday. The Eagles put the game away with tenacious manto-man defense and patient offense in the fourth quarter, when they often ran big chunks of time off before getting a basket.

“Coop started it off with two 3s, that really boosted us up,” Phillips said. “It all started on the defensive end for us.”

McHenry coach Tim Paddock felt his team’s problems were more with offense than defense.

“We were good defensively. We didn’t score it very well,” Paddock said. “We didn’t hit shots you have to in a big game. Gavin (Markgraff) played good.

They’re going to hound and guard him.

That was impressive what Gavin did the way they were focusing on him. To beat a team like that, you have to make some more plays.”

OUTSIDE THE BOX SCORE q UNSUNG HERO Ajani Rodriguez Jacobs, jr., G

Rodriguez was on the floor for a crucial stretch in the second and third quarters as the Golden Eagles took control of the game. He scored one basket, had three assists and a steal as Jacobs defeated McHenry.

BOYS BASKETBALL: MARENGO 50, BURLINGTON CENTRAL 46

By CHRIS CASEY

sports@nwherald.com

q UNSUNG HERO

Connor Wascher Marengo, sr., G

Although he didn’t score, Wascher made a pass out of a double team to find Blaine Borhart for a layup for Marengo’s first points of the fourth quarter, stopping an 8-0 Burlington Central run.

q THE NUMBER

11

Combined shooting percentage for Marengo and Burlington Central from the 3-point line (3 for 28).

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

Despite having trouble with the Rockets’ fullcourt pressure for much of the game, Marengo committed just two turnovers – 14 for the game – in the fourth quarter to help pick up the four-point victory.

The Indians took an early lead, also contrary to Monday’s game, and led for much of the first three quarters.

Marengo also took a four-point lead into the fourth quarter, in large part to the play of Volkening. After missing his first three attempts from the field, the 6-foot-3 guard scored 18 of the next 20 Marengo points from the 2:41

mark of the first quarter to the end of the third.

He also connected on 9 of 13 freethrow attempts, including two with 15.6 seconds remaining to seal the victory.

“That’s a huge win. I think it’s the first win I’ve ever gotten here,” said Volkening, who scored 20 against the Rockets on Monday. “That’s a good feeling, but we still have to take care of business (in the KRC) and finish it off.” “[Volkening] is a really good player,” Burlington coach Brett Porto said.

“I thought we took some long shots that gave him some run-outs and easy looks, but he’s a good player. He doesn’t need much space to get his shot up and did a nice job for them tonight.”

As Wright preached leading up to this game for his defense to improve from Monday, the biggest play of the night may have come on that end of the court.

Leading 45-41 with under two minutes to play, Burlington had a fast break that looked to be a sure two points, or at the very least would draw a foul. But Marengo senior forward Carter Olson stood his ground, came up with huge block, rebound and pass ahead leading to a foul.

Blaine Borhart, who scored eight of his 10 points in the fourth quarter,

knocked down both free-throw attempts to stretch the Indians’ lead to six.

“I wasn’t looking for the block. I was just looking to get in the way and I’m glad I got it and helped us grab the momentum back,” said Olson, who missed Monday’s game because of sickness.

“The biggest thing I noticed tonight was how we stepped it up defense. It’s always good to come back and beat a team you lost to and this win feels great.”

Ta Vontae Harris led the Rockets with 12 points.

As Volkening mentioned, it was his first victory at Burlington in his four years with the program and just the second time in the past 10 years that the Indians have won away from home against the Rockets.

Wright and his group know what this win means not only for the program, but for the team’s confidence in each other moving forward.

“It’s a heck of an accomplishment to win here,” Wright said. “This is a tough place to play and winning here hasn’t happened often for us. With that being said, we took care of business tonight and have to continue to do so in order to achieve the bigger goals we set out for ourselves this season.”

Central (5-12, 1-7) jumped on the Wolves and led by six in the first quarter. The Tigers spread the court and even kept 6-foot-8 Alex Timmerman near midcourt against Prairie Ridge’s full-court press.

“We’ve got guys that can play in a lot of areas,” Central coach Rich Czeslawski said. “We were trying to move the basketball around. It’s harder to trap a 6-8 guy.”

Otto thought it was effective.

“Give Central credit, [Czeslawski] knows what he’s doing,” Otto said. “He spread the floor. It was a pretty good game plan. We had some good looks in the first half, we just weren’t putting the ball in the basket.

“It was just a matter, for us, of trying to make adjustments for what they’re doing. I think it was at the end of the (first) half, we relaxed.”

A few key turnovers led to Prairie Ridge baskets in the second quarter, and the Wolves led by three at halftime. Then they dominated the third quarter.

The Wolves forced 21 Central turnovers, and many of them led to baskets the other way. PR’s Kyle Loeding led the team with 12 points and five rebounds.

James Queen scored 11 points and Ferbet finished with nine points and four rebounds.

“We had a little bit more momentum, a little bit more energy,” Loeding said.

“We just kept it up on defense and played solid.”

Prairie Ridge did not score any 3-point baskets in the second half and made only one for the game. Instead, the Wolves found ways to get to the rim.

“The turnovers weren’t horrible, but we gave them layups,” Czeslawski said.

“You’re not going to win when that happens. Our breakdown was more defensive than offensive.”

For the Tigers, Timmerman scored 13 points, grabbed seven rebounds and blocked four shots. Adam Pump scored 10 points but left the game with a knee injury in the fourth quarter. Pump needs further evaluation and was on crutches after the game.

HAMPSHIRE – Nate Wright walked out of the Burlington Central locker room doors and let go a sigh of relief Friday night.

Just four days earlier, his Marengo boys basketball team suffered a loss on that same court to the Rockets, but this was the one his team wanted most.

Senior Mike Volkening scored 25 points as Marengo held off Burlington Central, 50-46, as the Indians exacted revenge and took sole possession of first place in the Kishwaukee River Conference.

Marengo (15-4, 3-0 KRC) held the Rockets to 33 percent shooting (17 for 51) and just three 3-pointers made.

Burlington Central (16-2, 2-1) made six shots from behind the arc in the meeting Monday – a 64-57 Rockets win.

“I think defensively we turned the page from offensive turnovers and got back and defended. That was huge for us,” Wright said. “We knew we were going to get a run from them, but I think we did a good job of containing it. We talked about with four minutes to go in the game, we just want to have a chance to win it and we did that tonight.”

Woodstock keyed on Toussaint defensively all game, effectively shutting him down on the perimeter in the first half.

Toussaint’s ability to find other ways to score, whether by twisting and turning in the lane or pulling up for a short shot, proved incredibly difficult to defend for the Blue Streaks (6-14 overall, 1-4 KRC).

“He hit some 3s, but really, it was him attacking the basket off the high-ball screen that killed us, and that’s the mark of a really good player,” Woodstock coach Al Baker said.

“When I thought we did a good job on the perimeter, he went to something else. We knew what they were trying to do, we prepared for it, but once you see it out there, wow. It happens pretty fast.”

Toussaint made 9 of 16 shots overall with four 3-pointers and was 12 of 14 from the foul line, but it was junior Jackson LaMarche who had the hot hand in the first half for Johnsburg (10-10, 3-1).

“We have three guys that average double digits, and if we can get two of them going, we’re pretty tough,” Johnsburg coach Mike Toussaint said. “We got

the floor spread out, and Zach was able to do his thing. He finds people, and he makes really good decisions for a sophomore.”

LaMarche finished with 20 points, including 16 before halftime, with a pair of 3s and three steals. He almost had half of his team’s points (34) by the break.

“I was just able to get to the hoop easy, mostly because my teammates were able to help out,” said LaMarche, who was 8 of 16 from the field. “We were just passing the ball, and really moving it around well. That was definitely what Coach (Toussaint) told us, move the ball and be patient.”

Woodstock used the long ball to stay in the game, hitting 14 3s. Carl Anderson Jr. made six 3s for 18 points, Mike Gardner had five 3s and 18 points, and Evan Bridges added three for nine.

Josh Turner scored 11 points for Woodstock, and Matt Shook (broken hand), who was cleared to play three hours before the game, added four. Mason Sobiesk had 10 points and eight rebounds for Johnsburg.

Soph from CLC named conference athlete of week in women’s track ON CAMPUS Barry Bottino

• Saturday, January 21, 2017

Celeste Madda’s 2016 indoor track and field season lasted only two meets.

A year later, one indoor meet has the Crystal Lake Central graduate and her coach at NCAA Division III Wisconsin-Whitewater encouraged for a big season ahead.

Madda, a sophomore sprinter, won the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference’s Athlete of the Week honor in women’s track Wednesday after an Celeste Madda impressive season debut last weekend.

“If she does what I think she can do, it will be a good year,” said Josh Ireland, the Warhawks’ short sprints coach. “I think she can make nationals – if not in one event, maybe two or three.”

Madda, who was limited by a leg injury last season, won the 60-meter dash in a career-best 7.87 seconds at last weekend’s season-opening Karl Schlender Invitational in Whitewater.

She also won the 200 dash in 25.94.

“I was very surprised by the times,” Madda said. “I knew I was going to do better than last season, but I didn’t think I would be where I am now. It’s only the beginning of the season, and I can’t wait to see more improvements.”

Madda’s time in the 60 ranks fourth nationally this week, while her 200 time is tied for sixth, according to the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association.

Whitewater also plans to use the versatile Madda at an even longer distance, on its 4x400 relay team.

“She’s fast enough where you could put her in there and she can run a good split,” Ireland said. “She’s a competitor. I can tell even in practice that she wants to win. You could put her in anything and she would be competitive in it. As a coach, that’s awesome.”

After Madda was sidelined most of last year’s indoor season, she blossomed in the spring for the Warhawks.

In the WIAC Championships on May 6 and 7 at Whitewater, she placed fourth in the 200 and sixth in the 100 with season-best times of 24.91 and 12.18, respectively, and was part of the fourth-place 4x100 relay.

She ranked 30th nationally in the 100 and 27th in the 200, narrowly

“I feel that I am a lot stronger and healthier than last season,” Madda said. “I pushed myself to work hard in the offseason, and it’s good to see it paying off.”

Although her favorite event is the 200, Madda said her starts out of the blocks in the 60 have greatly improved.

The Whitewater men’s and women’s teams practice together, and Ireland said Madda often works with fellow sprinter Parker Witt, the indoor national champ in the men’s 200 last season.

“Her first couple of steps out of the blocks (in the 60), she’s right with the guys,” Ireland said.

Although Ireland said he tries to shy away from predictions, he is hopeful Madda can change the fact that only one Whitewater female athlete qualified for nationals last season.

“After everything she went through last season, I’ve been more than impressed and very happy for her,” he said. “She’s a coach’s dream.

She’s always happy and she’s always smiling.”

Grinnell go-getter: Senior forward Alex Neckopulos is the second-leading rebounder and third-leading scorer this season for D-III Grinnell (Iowa) College’s women’s basketball team.

The Pioneers (8-6) are in third place in the Midwest Conference, thanks in part to Neckopulos, who has started every game. The Prairie Ridge grad ranks fifth in the conference with 7.3 rebounds a game while averaging 6.4 points. Neckopulos has two double-doubles this season, including a 14-point, 13-rebound game against Minnesota’s North Central University in November.

History vs. Harvard: Crystal Lake South grad Katelynn Russ assisted on Union (New York) College’s first goal Jan. 14 in a 3-2 overtime women’s hockey victory at Harvard, the Dutchwomen’s first win against the Crimson.

Union had been 0-26 against Harvard in school history.

Russ, a freshman forward, assisted on a power-play goal in the first period. For the season, she has two goals

and three assists for Union.

Augustana’s most improved: Freshman midfielder Brandie Minogue was honored Tuesday with D-III Augustana College’s Most Improved Player award in women’s soccer.

The South grad played in 12 games this season for the Vikings (9-8), starting six times. She had one assist, which came on the game-winning goal in a 3-2 win Oct. 8 against North Park.

Fast start for Saluki: Cary-Grove grad Nikki Freeman (Cary-Grove) placed fourth in the shot put and eighth in the weight throw last weekend to help the Southern Illinois women’s track and field team win the Illini Classic in Champaign.

Freeman, a freshman, threw the shot put 45 feet, 2½ inches. Her distance in the weight throw was 48-4.

In the team standings, SIU scored 103 points to edge the Illini by one point in the 12-team meet.

8 BLACKHAWKS 1, BRUINS 0

Darling unbeatable in rare start

By MARK LAZERUS

BLACKHAWKS 1, BRUINS 0

mlazerus@suntimes.com BOSTON – Scott Darling got the start Friday night in Boston not so much because Corey Crawford has looked human lately, but because, well, he had to start sometime. With no back-to-back games on the schedule until mid-February, Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville figured Friday’s game against the Bruins, with Darling’s dad in attendance, was as good a night as any to get him some work.

As for whether Darling could force his hand and keep the net for another night, Quenneville demurred, saying, “Their play a lot of time makes our decision for us.”

Darling made his case, making 30 saves to singlehandedly keep the Hawks in the game long enough for them to steal a 1-0 victory over the embattled Bruins at TD Garden. It was Marian Hossa who got the game-winning goal, one-timing a cross-goalmouth backhanded feed from Tanner Kero with 1:26 left in the third period. But it was Darling who was the hero in this one.

Blackhawks defenseman Duncan Keith (left) and Bruins center Tim Schaller (middle) look for a rebound after a save by goalie Scott Darling in the second period of the Hawks’ 1-0 win Friday in Boston.

In his previous start, on Jan. 6, Darling made 39 saves in a victory over the Carolina Hurricanes.

But Darling quickly stomped out the flame of any burgeoning goalie controversy. At least, in his mind.

“I don’t know if you guys know who my goalie partner is, but he’s one of the best goalies in the world, hands-down, no arguments,” Darling said.

“I’m just pretty happy to get

any games I can.”

Darling, who spends his summers in the north Boston suburb of Essex, said he was “appreciative” of the start, and that “They didn’t have to do that.” But Darling’s aw-shucks attitude belies his consistently stellar play. In seven of his past 11 starts, including his three-week stint in December as the No. 1 while Crawford recovered from an appendectomy, Darling has allowed one

goal or no goals.

“He’s always ready,” Hossa said. “Obviously, when he’s in the net, he seems huge there. He always makes the key saves. Another shutout for him. It’s unreal the way he’s just always ready, (even) when he’s not playing for a longer time.”

Darling was tested early and often, as the Bruins were all over the Hawks to start, in an all-too-familiar first period.

Boston outshot the Hawks, 176, but thanks largely to pointblank Darling saves on Joe Morrow and Austin Czarnik, the score was 0-all after one. It stayed that way through two periods, with Darling ston-

ing David Krejci in the slot among his eight saves in the period. It was more of the same in the third, as Darling made big saves on Brad Marchand (during a Hawks power play) and Frank Vatrano as the sleepy pace picked up considerably late in the game, Tuukka Rask didn’t see as many shots, but he kept the game scoreless with a variety of stops, including one on Brent Seabrook in the slot in the second, and one on a streaking Artemi Panarin on the power play in the third.

But he couldn’t stop Hossa’s 17th goal of the season in the dying minutes, which was all the Hawks needed because of Darling.

All Quenneville would say when asked if Darling was under consideration to start Sunday’s home game against Vancouver was a brisk, “We’ll see.” But at the very least, Darling has proved he could alleviate some of the burden on the workhorse Crawford, while keeping the Hawks in every game.

“He certainly helped himself in a big way today,” Quenneville said.

BLACKHAWKS NOTES

Hossa still productive during scoring drought

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com BOSTON – Marian Hossa knew it was unlikely that he could keep up his early season goal-scoring pace all season. Few NHL players reach 40 goals in a season these days, and certainly not 38-year-olds coming off a 13-goal season.

“It would be nice to score all the time, but it’s not going to happen,” said Hossa, who had 16 goals in his first 31 games.

That said, it had been more than a month since Hossa last scored a goal, a span that included 10 games played and five games missed with an injury. Hossa does have six assists in that span, including a three-assist game Tuesday night in Colorado in his latest role on the third line with Vinnie Hinostroza and Tanner Kero.

Hossa is hardly the only big-name

player in a goal-scoring drought lately. Jonathan Toews entered Friday’s game with one goal in his past nine games, and Artem Anisimov hadn’t scored in six. “[Hossa] came up with a big game last game, production wise,” coach Joel Quenneville said before Friday’s game in Boston.

“It doesn’t always have to be shot in the net.

His line had a big night.

I think a couple of guys Marian Hossa coming off injuries, their production hasn’t gotten to that level where they were prior to that, but that’s part of the season. That consistency is what we’re looking for.”

Hossa has spent the past several seasons on the top line with Toews, but was bumped down to the third line with Hinostroza and Kero as Quenneville sought balance in the lineup. One game

is an extremely small sample size, but the two rookies and the veteran looked dangerous from the first shift. Hinostroza and Kero each had two goals.

“Those guys are great skaters, they’ve been playing [in the NHL] for a while and they show us great things,” Hossa said. “They’re getting more comfortable. It seems they’re having more and more chances. I like how the line looked the other day, and that’s a good sign.”

When asked if he was 100 percent since returning from an upper-body injury Jan. 5, Hossa said, “I’m pretty good, yeah.”

Kruger update: Marcus Kruger’s original timetable for his hand injury had him coming back either Friday in Boston or Sunday at home against Vancouver. It’s taken a little longer than expected, but Quenneville was optimistic Kruger could join the team in practice and in a game sometime next week.

“I don’t think he’s too far away,” Quenneville said. “We’ll get him in before the All-Star break.”

Quality time: Ryan Hartman and Hinostroza have been playing together since they were kids, and their fathers have been on plenty of road trips together. So having all of them together on the road again this week during the dads’ trip has been particularly rewarding.

“It’s been good; it’s been fun,” Hartman said. “It’s nice to have him on the road. Usually he was paying for the road trips when we were young. All the expenses were on him and dinner and all that stuff. It’s nice to take him out to dinner.”

Said Hinostroza: “It’s really cool.

Our dads, they were talking about it, laughing about it going back to when we were 12 going on road trips. It’s cool to be [like] in the old days and rooming with our dads.”

next year.”

Wade was asked if Chicago would be the ideal landing spot for Bosh, especially because Wade could pick up his option for next season and is all about the recruiting game. Add to the fact that Taj Gibson is all set to explore the free-agent market and there will be payroll money to spend, and just like that the rumor grows legs.

One major problem, however.

Bosh’s condition could be life-threatening. For a franchise riddled with health issues since 2012, is that the path to go down?

“I know Chris is worried about his health first,” Wade said. “He has a family that he loves, and he wants to make sure that he’s as healthy and whole as he can, but also he loves the game of basketball. So when that day comes, there are always going to be stories about guys where they have friends at.

“Everyone knows he’s a good friend of mine, so that’s probably where you

get some of that. But besides that, he hasn’t told me that.”

Hoiberg’s concerns with the roster were a bit more immediate.

With the Feb. 23 trade deadline approaching, if general manager Gar Forman does have a plan to get “younger and more athletic,” as was advertised before they signed Wade and his now 35-year-old knees in the summer, well, it might be time to actually start taking steps in that direction.

Every front office in sports has a big board filled with names of potential players they could pursue, but it’s starting to seem as though Forman uses his big board to doodle on.

“That’s a great question on how active we will be,” Hoiberg said. “We’ll see how things play out. If there’s moves to be made that can help the franchise in the future, obviously, things will happen, but it’s got to be a move that makes sense for both sides and very rarely does that happen.”

HAWKS 102, BULLS 93

Hoiberg to evaluate ‘everything’ ahead of any changes

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com ATLANTA – Between Friday night’s plane ride home from Atlanta until Saturday’s night’s tip with Sacramento, everything was going to be evaluated.

Starters, bench, staff … coach Fred Hoiberg sounded like everything and everyone was in play.

“Sure there are,” the Bulls coach said, when asked if there were changes he actually could make to jumpstart some sort of consistency. “There always is. Again, we’ll look at everything. We have a short amount of time to prep for this game (against the Kings on Saturday), but, yeah, we will.

We’ll have some discussions on the plane and [Saturday] all day long, and see what we want to do.”

Because what they have been doing just isn’t working.

Sure, the second unit cut it to a five-point game with a minute to go in garbage time, but the rest of the evening was pure embarrassment, as the Hawks manhandled the Bulls, 102-93, and it wasn’t even that close.

When a starting group comes out in the first quarter, turns the ball over eight times, and is outscored 35-13, it seldom is close.

That’s why Hoiberg was going to re-evaluate his entire roster, deciding

if he needs to move or sit some pieces.

At 21-23 on the season, it looks like a team that has accepted a relaxed style of ball.

“I sure as [heck] hope not,” Hoiberg said of that idea. “With the importance of every game, being where we are right now, fighting for a spot in the playoffs. It’s got to be something inside you that wants to go out and compete, give yourself an opportunity to win basketball games.”

Jimmy Butler, who finished with 19 points, also was feeling enough is enough.

The Atlanta Hawks forward Thabo Sefolosha briefly loses control of the ball as he works against the Bulls’ Jimmy Butler (left) and Robin Lopez in the second half Friday in Atlanta. Atlanta won 102-93.

“I’ve been … We have been tired of this,” Butler said. “We need to be better, man. It’s terrible basketball.”

More Rondo talk: Now that Rajon Rondo is firmly back in the rotation, coming off the bench with the second

unit, Hoiberg was asked if he thought the situation could have turned really bad, especially after he initially benched the former starter for fiveplus games.

“Well, sure,” Hoiberg said. “It can always go a couple different ways. But I give Rajon a lot of credit for being where he is in his career and all the things he’s accomplished, to accept the role that’s been given to him now.

And again, he’s been terrific for us and again, the biggest thing he’s done is been a mentor to these younger players, and, hopefully, he’ll continue to do that.”

Rock the vote: Butler said Thursday he voted for teammate Dwyane Wade for the Eastern Conference All-Star Team, and although Wade wasn’t named a starter, Butler’s hope was Wade would be named a reserve when the rest of the team was announced Thursday.

Wade, however, didn’t seem concerned either way.

“Nah, I don’t worry about it,” Wade said. “I think it’s great that guys get opportunities to be on there. There are a lot of guys that are having great years, and it means a lot to those guys to get that nod.

I remember my first few times. I’ve been there 12 times. If you get called up, you get called, but I don’t worry about that.”

ATLANTA – There is a plan.

Fred Hoiberg swears there is.

What it entails? The second-year coach isn’t about to go there, but he’s all behind it. Whatever it is.

“Yeah, there’s a plan,” Hoiberg said Friday, when asked about the current direction of the Bulls. “As far as the rumors, that’s not something I’m going to comment on. Again, things get thrown out there at this time of year.”

A few weeks ago, it was an ESPN report that had the Bulls using back channels to shop Jimmy Butler. The Sun-Times reported then that there was no such activity going on. A source said then that the Bulls were taking calls on Butler, but hadn’t made one since before the June draft.

Now, the same media outlet was at it again, reporting that the Bulls

would be interested in signing Miami big man Chris Bosh for next season if he were to be made a free agent by Miami and become medically cleared. A big if because he is dealing with blood clots and might have to call it a career at the age of 32.

Former Miami Heat teammate Dwyane Wade still is close friends with Bosh, and said the forward/cen- Chris Bosh ter is focused on his health first and foremost, with basketball an afterthought.

“The biggest thing with Chris is the same thing, you know, is his health,” Wade said. “He’s not even playing basketball right now. Basketball is something he loves, and I’m sure somewhere in the back of his mind he would love to be able to do again, but I know his steps, and at this moment it’s not there now. I can’t even talk about

10 TENNIS: AUSTRALIAN OPEN

Serena makes 4th round with ease

By JOHN PYE

The Associated Press MELBOURNE, Australia – Serena Williams remains on track in her bid to win a record 23rd Grand Slam title.

The six-time Australian Open winner beat fellow American Nicole Gibbs, 6-1, 6-3, in the third round Saturday (in Australia), when she didn’t face a break point until she was serving for the match.

Dropping serve in that game was her only lapse in a match that then extended just beyond the hour – to 63 minutes to be precise. That made it one minute and one game longer than her only other match against Gibbs.

Williams started the tournament with difficult assignments in the first two rounds, but also got through those – against Belinda Bencic, with a career-high ranking of 7, and Lucie Safarova, a French Open finalist in 2015 – without dropping a set.

She has set the tone for the tournament. Williams will next play No. 16 Barbora Strycova, who beat No. 21 Caroline Garcia 6-2, 7-5.

Ekaterina Makarova led by a set and 4-0 but needed three sets and almost three hours to finally beat WTA Finals champion Dominika Cibulkova, 6-2, 6-7 (3), 6-3.

Serena Williams hits a backhand return to fellow American Nicole Gibbs during their third-round match at the Australian Open in Melbourne, Australia.

“An amazing fight,” Makarova said of her first win over sixth-seeded Cibulkova, the 2014 finalist at Melbourne Park. “I got, to be honest, a bit tight at 4-0 in the second set. But I’m still here. I love this Grand Slam.”

In a momentum-swing match featuring some long streaks of games and 11

service breaks, Makarova got the decisive break in the eighth game of the deciding set and closed it next.

Makarova will play either 2016 semifinalist Johanna Konta, who beat her in the fourth round here last year, or former No. 1-ranked Caroline Wozniacki.

Mirjana Lucic-Baroni continued her unlikely run with a 3-6, 6-2, 6-3 win over Maria Sakkari, and so did American qualifier Jennifer Brady.

Before this week, the 34-year-old Lucic-Baroni hadn’t won a match at Melbourne Park since her debut at the Australian Open in 1998. The 19-year gap in between match wins at a Grand Slam tournament broke the record set by Kimiko Date-Krumm, who went 17 years between match wins at Wimbledon.

Lucic-Baroni reached the semifinals of Wimbledon in 1999 as a 17-year-old and captured the Australian Open doubles title a year before that with Martina Hingis.

She next plays Brady, ranked No. 116, who had never played in the main draw of a major before she qualified for this week.

The 21-year-old American had a 7-6 (4), 6-2 win over 14th-seeded Elena Vesnina on Show Court 2, and is making the most of the occasion.

By saving five match points before rallying to beat Heather Watson in the second round, Brady effectively doubled her number of career wins.

On the men’s side, No. 8 Dominic Thiem beat Benoit Paire, 6-1, 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, to set up a fourth-round match against No. 11 David Goffin, who ended Ivo Karlovic’s run, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4.

GOLF ROUNDUP

Swafford shoots second 65, leads at rainy La Quinta THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LA QUINTA, Calif. – Hudson Swafford beat the rain Friday in the CareerBuilder Challenge, and Phil Mickelson played his best in the worst of the conditions.

Then, there’s Danny Lee. “I actually wanted to play in the rain, so I could experiment with myself,” Lee said. “Hopefully, it rains tomorrow.”

The New Zealander probably won’t get his wish Saturday, but another storm could pass through the desert oasis Sunday afternoon.

Swafford finished just before the rain moved in, shooting his second straight 7-under-par 65 to take a onestroke lead. Winless in his four-year PGA Tour career, the former Georgia star had a bogey-free round on the Jack Nicklaus Tournament Course at PGA West after opening the pro-am tournament Thursday at La Quinta Country Club.

“Managed to keep the ball in the

fairway,” Swafford said. “That gives you a lot of nice approach shots into greens. I’m driving the ball beautifully.”

The rain-seeking Lee and firstround leader Dominic Bozzelli were tied for second.

Lee closed with a birdie for a 64 at La Quinta, far exceeding his expectations after a month off.

“Just trying to break 80, seriously,” Lee said. “Trying to not shoot something overly ridiculous, since I’m playing with the amateurs.”

Bozzelli followed an opening 64 on PGA West’s Stadium Course with a 67 at La Quinta.

“It wasn’t my best today, but I was able to save par, made some pretty big par saves throughout the round and kept it going,” Bozzelli said. “Actually, pretty lucky that weather held off a little bit longer than I thought it would.”

The tee times were moved up an hour to 7:30 a.m., and Swafford and many players finished before the storm rolled in over the San Jacinto Moun-

tains at about 1 p.m.

“I had a full rain suit, five towels in the bag,” said Swafford, coming off a tie for 13th last week in Hawaii in the Sony Open. “My caddie was griping all day about how heavy it was. But I made a few birdies early and he said the bag was getting a little lighter.”

Mickelson got to use all of his rain gear, playing the final six holes in intermittent showers in the second-to-last group off the 10th tee on the Nicklaus course. The tournament ambassador followed an opening 68 at La Quinta with a 66 to reach 10 under in his return from two sports hernia surgeries.

CHAMPIONS TOUR Mitsubishi Electric Championship:

At Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, Bernhard Langer closed with back-to-back birdies to shoot a 7-under 65 Friday for a 15-under-129 total and a one-shot lead over Fred Couples after the second round at Hualalai.

Langer began the day tied for first with defending champion Duffy Wal-

dorf and Marco Dawson after an opening-round 64 at the Jack Nicklaus-designed course located adjacent to the Four Seasons Resort on the Big Island of Hawaii.

Couples birdied four of the first five holes en route to a 7-under 65 to come in at 130 after 36 holes. Kirk Triplett shot an 8-under 64 to sit alone in third at 131.

EUROPEAN PGA TOUR Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship: At

Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, new year, same old story for Martin Kaymer at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship.

The two-time major winner from Germany set up another chance for a fourth victory at his regular year-opening tournament, shooting a second straight 6-under 66 to take a one-stroke lead after the second round.

“My favorite golf course,” Kaymer said after tapping in a birdie on the par5 18th to nudge ahead of Rafa Cabrera Bello with a 12-under 132 total.

12 NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME: PACKERS AT FALCONS, 2:05 P.M. SUNDAY, FOX

Packers WRs Nelson, Adams still iffy

By GENARO C. ARMAS The Associated Press

GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers might not know the status of injured receivers Jordy Nelson, Davante Adams and Geronimo Allison until just before the NFC Championship Game on Sunday.

Coach Mike McCarthy said Friday that all three receivers would be “given every chance to play in the game.”

The Packers didn’t have on-field work Friday, when all three players were listed as questionable on the injury report.

The team might make a decision on the receivers after the final practice of the week Saturday, although McCarthy said it was possible that at least one or two players would be pushed back to just before the game Sunday in Atlanta against the Falcons.

Nelson was limited in practice this week as he recovers from broken ribs.

He led the NFL with 14 touchdown catches.

Nelson wasn’t at Lambeau Field on Friday because of an unrelated illness, McCarthy said. He apparently came down with a bug that bothered kicker Mason Crosby earlier in the week, as well as quarterback Aaron Rodgers later in the week.

Green Bay Packers receiver Jordy Nelson works out during practice inside the Don Hutson Center on Thursday in Ashwaubenon, Wis. Nelson is recovering from broken ribs leading up to Sunday’s NFC Championship Game at Atlanta.

“Rest. Fluids. All that stuff. We’ll be OK,” Rodgers said.

Adams, who has an ankle injury, had 12 touchdown catches. Nelson and Adams were the top two receivers for Rodgers in the passing game.

Allison, a rookie, emerged in the last couple of weeks of the regular season with eight catches for 157 yards

and a score while filling in when Randall Cobb was hurt. Allison has a hamstring injury.

Illness shouldn’t have any bearing on the decision about Nelson after he looked good in practice this week, McCarthy said.

“It was good to have him out there,” McCarthy said. “Really, today was the

most important day for those three (receivers), so, really, the information that comes out of the training room today will give us a better idea where we are.”

The Packers are left with Cobb, along with third-year player Jeff Janis and rookie Trevor Davis at receiver.

Janis and Davis each had their first regular-season touchdown catches during the teams’ meeting in the regular season in October, when Cobb missed the game with an ankle injury and then-receiver Ty Montgomery sat out because of illness.

Montgomery has since been moved to running back, although he remains a pass-catching threat out of the backfield.

Notes: S Morgan Burnett (quad) and CB Quinten Rollins (neck/concussion) also were listed as questionable for Sunday. Burnett missed the first two days of practice this week, while Rollins has been limited. ... JC Tretter, who started the first seven games this season at center, had knee surgery Tuesday, McCarthy said. The Packers have an option to put Tretter on injured reserve to free up a spot on the 53-man roster to help fill depth at other positions. Their practice squad includes two receivers and two defensive backs.

AFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME: STEELERS AT PATRIOTS, 5:40 P.M. SUNDAY, CBS

Steelers hope pressure blueprint can slow Brady

By KYLE HIGHTOWER The Associated Press

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Take it from Wade Phillips, slowing down Tom Brady is a goal often sought, but seldom achieved.

“Good luck,” the new defensive coordinator of the Los Angeles Rams said this week when asked about the difficulty of taking the Patriots quarterback out of his comfort zone. “He’s good no matter what.”

And that’s coming from a guy who has had at least some recent success bothering Tom Terrific.

Brady enters Sunday’s matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers with a 6-4 record in AFC Championship Games, including 4-1 at home.

But the constant in each of his losses has been when he’s faced a defense that has managed to apply pressure up front and forced him into quick decisions.

The Broncos, with Phillips serving as defensive coordinator, did it during last season’s 20-18 AFC title game win in

Denver. Led by Von Miller, they made Brady’s life miserable, sacking him four times and registering another 17 quarterback hits.

“Before we played them, they said I couldn’t stop him,” Phillips said. “It’s a combination of things, but you’ve just got to play great defense.

Yeah, you’ve got to put Tom Brady pressure on him, but you’ve got to be able to cover. ... The pressure you get, you have to get it 1-on-1.

“You’re not going to fool him and get a free runner on him. You know, you don’t see anybody just come and hit him in the back. He sees everybody. He’s special that way, too.”

The Steelers will be the latest to try to test that blueprint, albeit with a defense that has been more pedestrian than “Steel Curtain” when it has come to pressuring quarterbacks this season.

They also haven’t had much success against Brady. Pittsburgh has sacked

him only 21 times in 11 games. Brady hasn’t thrown an interception against the Steelers since 2005, while throwing 19 touchdown passes.

But Brady will face a much healthier Steelers pass rush than he did in Week 7’s 27-16 road win. Pittsburgh linebacker Ryan Shazier was returning from a knee injury; James Harrison played only 42 percent of the snaps and Bud Dupree was on injured reserve with a groin injury.

The improved health since then has been a boost to Pittsburgh in its ninegame winning streak. The Steelers had 13 sacks over their first nine games and have 31 during the streak.

“I think just getting after him in general is going to be big,” Shazier said.

“Every team wants to get after the quarterback. When you get the quarterback rattled or just out of position, it definitely helps out the defense, helps out the team.

“If we can make him feel uncomfortable and make him play a game he’s not accustomed to, it’s going to help out our

defense and play the way we want to.”

The Patriots did a much better job of protecting Brady during the regular season (17 sacks allowed in the 12 games he played after giving up 38 in 2015).

But New England’s offensive line showed some cracks in last week’s divisional-round win over the Texans, allowing Brady to be sacked twice and hit eight times. Houston also had two interceptions.

Brady said the change in the Steelers’ defense from Week 7 is stark.

“They’ve been dominant,” he said.

“They’ve been great just rushing the quarterback, making plays for their team, strip sacks, forced interceptions, a lot of big plays. ... It’s a big challenge for us.”

Left tackle Nate Solder said the vulnerabilities that were exposed last week by the Texans isn’t always a bad thing. It certainly won’t rattle them, he said.

“The things that you didn’t do right sometimes can be a gift,” Solder said. “If you can get them right, it can help you for the next game.”
