Good morning, McHenry County ...

Readers give inauguration feedback On the morning of Donald Trump’s inauguration, I asked for readers’ thoughts on that historic moment, and they sent me a full range of opinions.

Emails, phone calls, Facebook quotes. People aren’t shy about what they think, which I’m sure is evident as you roll your eyes through your own social media feed.

Since I prattle on enough in this space, I’ll let the readers take up the rest of it on this topic. Either apologies or you’re welcome to those whom I didn’t get to.

• “Because I was always working during the time of past inaugurations, this is probably the first I have seen from beginning to end. It was a wonderful display of how the American form of democracy works, and something we as Americans should all be proud of. All of the participants were gracious and patriotic, and the prayers were heartfelt and meaningful for the occasion, as they should be. As a Republican, I was particularly impressed by Chuck Schumer’s speech, as I was with President Trump’s. I would have the same impression if Mrs. Clinton had won.”

TODAY’S TALKER MADONNA DEFENDS ANTI-TRUMP SPEECH

NEW YORK – Madonna is defending her fiery, expletive-laden speech at the women’s march, saying her words were “taken wildly out of context.”

The singer said at the Washington, D.C., march Saturday that she had at times been angry after the election and had thought “an awful lot about blowing up the White House.”

In a statement Sunday on Instagram, Madonna said she was trying to express that people can respond to Donald Trump’s election with hope or with outrage.

She said she hopes to effect change “with love.”

Madonna wrote that she doesn’t promote violence and people should listen to her speech “in its entirety rather than one phrase taken wildly out of context.”

John Pazzo of Woodstock looks at photos Saturday during an open house at the new Woodstock VFW Post 5040 facility. Members celebrated the new location at 201 Main St. on the historic Woodstock Square. The group sold its old building on Throop Street in late 2015 and now will lease the space on Main Street. The building previously was occupied by the restaurant Brickstone, and before that the Woodstock Public House. The post also has begun rebranding itself to appeal to younger veterans in hopes of attracting a new core membership.

‘A NEW LIFE, A NEW START’

Woodstock VFW Post 5040 looks to attract younger members with location on Square

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – After 75 years in the same location, the Woodstock Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 5040 has a new place to call home.

Post 5040 held its grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony Saturday on the site of its new location at 201 Main St. on the city’s historic Square. The group sold its old building on Throop Street in late 2015 and now will lease the space on Main Street. The building previously was occupied by the restaurant Brickstone, and before that the Woodstock Public House.

City officials, local veterans and VFW officials were in attendance Saturday.

“Today is a day of celebration,” Woodstock Mayor Brian Sager said.

“We uphold not only the opening of

this new facility for [veterans], but we also uphold your incredible service in the past and your continued service to one another and to our community at large.”

Sager added that he was glad to see the club move closer to the heart of the city.

“If it were not for the brave men and women in the armed services who actually founded and defended our history as a nation for all these years, we wouldn’t exist,” he said.

“It’s certainly appropriate for this facility in service to our veterans to be located right here, downtown on the historic Square.”

A major reason for the move was to attract new members, Post 5040 Cmdr. David Grote said.

“It will give us a new life, a new start and help us support all the vets

LAKEWOOD

Zoning commission chairman tapped to fill Village Board seat

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com LAKEWOOD – Outgoing Village President Erin Smith is tapping the chairman of the Planning and Zoning Commission to fill a two-year unexpired term on the Village Board.

Smith announced in the village’s winter newsletter that she is proposing that Jason McMahon fill the remainder of former Trustee Ken Santowski’s term. Santowski abruptly resigned from the Vil-

lage Board last month and withdrew his candidacy for village president.

The appointment is expected to come before the Village Board for a vote at its Tuesday meeting.

Neither Smith nor McMahon could be reached Friday for comment.

Santowski’s departure came at a time when Lakewood residents will see significant changes to the seven-member Village Board after the April 4 referendum.

Trustee Paul Serwatka is running unopposed to succeed Smith, who after two

terms is not seeking a third. She previously served one term as a Village Board member. Incumbent Trustees Jeff Iden and Bev Thomas likewise are not seeking re-election.

Serwatka and his supporters founded the Lakewood Tax-Fighter Party and are running on a slate. Party candidates Philip Stephan, Richard Ritchie and Amy Fues Odom are running for the three open trustee seats, as are incumbent Gene Furey and former board member John Schrauf.

we can,” he said. “The other place we had been in for 75 years. This kind of upgrades it, makes it so more of the young guys want to come in. A lot of our older guys are passing away.”

The Woodstock chapter has more than 350 members and a growing auxiliary that recently has opened up to both men and women, Grote said.

The group meets monthly and holds regular events. The VFW plans to offer a different special at its on-site restaurant each day it is open, Grote said.

Jason Moody, president of the VFW board of directors, said he was happy to see things moving in the right direction despite a rocky start to the journey.

“There were a lot of people that had very strong ties to the old place. I did too,” Moody said. “But we had to start fresh.”

The VFW wants to remarket itself to appeal to a younger generation of veterans, he said. The group also wants to connect more strongly with the community and become more involved in local events.

“We are revamping how we do everything,” Moody said. “We’re trying to start to target a small audience and build and build and build.”

Kevin Knight

Engineer and founder of Kinightic Corp., on homes attracting radon for various reasons

will, and vice versa. But it still is wise to get your home tested.

“Your house actually works like a big vacuum, especially in the middle of summer and middle of winter, when you have your air conditioner or furnace running,” Knight said. “There are pressure differentials that change in your house. You’ll be at a positive pressure in the second and third floors. And in the basements and crawl spaces, the pressure will be lower than what’s outside.”

This lower pressure attracts radon.

“What drives air to move is pressure differential,” Knight said. “If it’s a higher pressure outside than in your house, it’s going to want to move into the house and maybe move moreso than under other conditions, such as if you had your windows open.”

Knight said there are many factors that play into why radon gets into a building.

Entry points for radon include wall

Following is a list of places to give blood. Donors should be 17 or older or 16 with a parent’s consent, weigh at least 110 pounds and be in good health.

joints, crawl spaces, sump pits, cracks in floors and walls, and near where utilities penetrate the building, Knight said. He recommends getting radon levels tested in the lowest livable levels of your home, such as a walk-in basement.

The Will County Health Department is offering kits for $8 that allow residents to test the air in their homes. Through electronic billboards around the area, the department is reminding residents about Radon Action Month by encouraging people to test homes for radon.

Knight recommends getting your home tested every few years, and more frequently in newer homes.

“In new homes where soil hasn’t settled, there can be some substantial changes year to year,” he said.

Knight, an engineer, said sealing your basement can reduce paths for gas, creatures, water and other things to enter the home.

If a home test shows high levels of radon, Knight advises contacting a licensed radon mitigation professional to look at ways to help the radon escape.

JOLIET – Kevin Knight grew up on a street where five people were diagnosed with lung cancer without ever smoking cigarettes.

He now operates an Illinois-based company he founded called Kinightic Corp., which advises homeowners, business owners and building managers on how to make buildings healthier, safer and more energy efficient.

On Jan. 9, he gave a presentation at the Plainfield Public Library about the dangers of radon, a colorless and odorless gas that is known to cause lung cancer, according to the National Cancer Institute.

“This is important to me,” Knight said as he provided tips on how to mitigate high radon levels.

It also is important to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which designates January as National Radon Action Month. The EPA recommends testing your home for radon, attending a community event to learn more and spreading the word about the dangers of radon.

Radon came to be as glaciers deposited uranium in the ground. As it decays, it becomes radium and then radon as it leaves the soil.

When inhaled, these radioactive particles can damage the cells that line the lung, according to the National Cancer Institute. Long-term exposure to radon can lead to lung cancer, the only cancer proved to be associated with inhaling radon.

Radon is the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S. behind cigarette smoking. Scientists estimate that 15,000 to 22,000 lung cancer deaths in the U.S. each year are related to radon.

According to the EPA, the average indoor radon level is about 1.3 picocuries per liter. The EPA recommends people should take action to lower radon levels in their home if the level is found to be 4.0 picocuries per liter or higher.

All homes have some radon, Knight said. But most counties in Illinois, including Will County, have radon levels in the soil higher than 4.0. Will County soil tested five years ago at an average of 5.3 picocuries per liter, Knight said.

Nicole Garrett of the Will County Health Department’s Environmental Division said the county exhibited the highest measured radon levels in the state as recently as 2006.

For various reasons, some homes attract radon more than others. Just because your neighbor’s home might have high radon levels, it doesn’t mean yours

Attention Back Pain and Sciatica Sufferers: Back By Request… Saturday January 28, 2017

BACK PAIN AND SCIATICA WORKSHOP REVEALS HOW TO NATURALLY HEAL BACK PAIN AND SCIATICA FOR GOOD. • Do you suffer with back pain or leg pain when you stand or walk?

• Do you have pain when you sit for long periods or drive?

• Do you experience pain, numbness or tingling into your butt, groin or down your leg?

• Does your back ever “go out” if you move the wrong way?

• Are you afraid your pain will get worse if you don’t do anything about it?

If you have answered YES to any of the above questions (or have a stubborn spouse who is in denial) – the Lower Back and Sciatica Workshop may be a life changing event for you…

“Chuck and his staff were very friendly and helpful. I was experiencing some lower back pain and they were direct in telling me what I needed to do. Their direction got me back to my regular work outs and life quickly.” D.W. Hello, Back pain and sciatica can completely ruin your life… I’ve seen it many times.

It can make you lean on the shopping cart when walking through the grocery store… It can take your focus away on enjoying your life…like spending time with your children or grandchildren… It can mess up your work or force you to do a job you don’t want to do… It can ruin your travel plans… And it can take away your ability to live life… having to rely on others… or to wait for you to sit down for a minute.

And less movement and less enjoyment of life can lead to depression, increased stress and a sedentary lifestyle (mostly sitting… not moving much) which leads to bigger health problems… and life problems.

The sciatica and low back pain specialists at Diamond physical Therapy have helped 100’s of people right here in Algonquin… and the rest of McHenry County… who have suffered needlessly with lower back pain and sciatica… it’s our specialty.

So by request, I’m hosting a Sciatica and Lower Back Pain Workshop here at Diamond Physical Therapy at 1140 East Algonquin Rd, Algonquin IL 60102, Saturday, January 28, 2017 from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m.

If you’re confused about what to do and are looking for answers, here’s some of what you’ll learn: • The Single Biggest #1 Mistake back pain and sciatica sufferers make which actually stops them from healing…

• The 3 Most Common Causes of Lower Back Pain and Sciatica…

• A Sure-Fire Way to Pick the Right Treatment for the Cause of Your Pain (and save you a ton of time and money) • How a problem in your back can cause pain, numbness or tingling in your leg…

• What successful treatment and permanent relief looks like without the side effects of medications, injections or surgery.

How Do I Register for the Lower Back Pain and Sciatica Workshop? Call Nicole at our office at 847-854-0196 How Much Is It to Attend? Nothing… the event is FREE! When you register, we will mail you The Lower Back Pain and Sciatica Worksheet which you will bring with you to the event. We only have 30 seats available for this event… and this invitation will be mailed to 3,000 people in the Algonquin area. If you would like to attend, be sure to register now at 847-854-0196.

As a Special Bonus, the first 10 people to call and register for the event will receive a copy of my new book Get Back To Living. All 30 attendees for the Sciatica and Lower Back Pain Workshop will receive a Special Report: “The Top 10 Burning Questions for Sciatica” Looking forward to seeing you there, CHUCK SCHULTE, PT, ATC PS – The first 10 people to call and register at 847-854-0196 will receive a copy of my new book Get Back To Living PPS – This event is limited to the first 30 people to register. When you register, you can bring a guest (we do this because many people request to bring their spouse or other family member).

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Change will do you good, but don’t wait for it to come to you. Reflect on what you’ve accomplished and what you still want to do, and make it happen. This year is about finding the balance you need in your life to feel satisfied and fulfilled.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Step into action and lend a helping hand whenever possible.

Your no-nonsense way of getting things done will impress onlookers and make you feel terrific.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Make a point to finish what you start. Don’t give anyone a chance to interfere or meddle in your affairs.

Do what needs to be done and don’t look back.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Participating in an activity or offering your services, skills and experience will pay off. Gestures of friendliness will lead to personal and financial gains.

Self-improvement projects are favored.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Follow through with your plans. If you just talk about what you want to do instead of doing it, you won’t make progress. Protect your assets and your emotional and physical well-being.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Before you leap into action, consider your audience. Not everyone will favor your actions, and some may even use your words to make you look bad.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Communication is

your best option. Sharing your ideas and listening to what others have to offer will help you determine what to do next. Romance will improve your life.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – If you want something, you must do your part and go after it. Get involved, ask questions and be a part of whatever is going on around you in order to excel.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Don’t take anything or anyone for granted. An emotional incident can put a wedge between you and someone you care about. Communicate and clear up any misconception before it festers.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – It’s a good day to deal with friends, siblings and matters in your neighborhood that concern you. Be willing to

do the work in order to get the results you want. Take care of your responsibilities.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Your mysterious nature will attract interest. Try something new and form friendships with people who can offer you something unusual. Challenges will result in personal growth.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – You’ll face discord if you haven’t been honest about your feelings. Don’t make a premature change just to allay anxiety. Tell it like it is and make your move.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – As long as you are moderate and have good intentions, everything will fall into place. Don’t let the actions of others cause you to be uncertain.

Trust in your skills and intelligence.

LOCAL HISTORY Kurt Begalka Much of the nation celebrated Martin Luther King Jr. Day a week ago, but with the passage of time, his life’s work has become more of an asterisk than a clarion for cultural change. Even Veterans Day, itself relegated to a few solemn flag ceremonies and perhaps a parade, carries more weight in our collective consciences.

That does all of us a great disservice.

Fortunately, the Martin Luther King Jr. Research and Education Institute at Stanford University in California offers a treasure trove of King information – including papers, speeches and other documents – that underscore an important fact: Dr. King, born Michael King on Jan. 15, 1929, was much more than a dreamer.

“I think when I get to Atlanta and go to my pulpit, I will try to preach a sermon in the spirit of the founding fathers of our nation and in the spirit of the Declaration of Independence,” King told those congregated on July 4, 1965, at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta.

“And so this morning I would like to use as a subject from which to preach, the American Dream.

“It wouldn’t take us long to discover the substance of that dream. It is found in those majestic words of the Declaration of Independence, words lifted to cosmic proportions: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by God, creator, with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.’

“This is a dream. It’s a great dream. …

“Now ever since the Founding Fathers of our nation dreamed this dream in all of its magnificence – to use a big word that the psychiatrists use – America has been something of a schizophrenic personality, tragically divided against herself. On the one hand we have proudly professed the great principles of democracy, but on the other hand we have sadly practiced the very opposite of those principles.

“But now, more than ever before, America is challenged to realize its dream, for the shape of the world today does not permit our nation the luxury of an anemic democracy. …”

Ken West, the event’s producer and owner of Material Things Artisan Market in Woodstock, launched the effort with his two sons and a number of McHenry County College students in an effort to reignite King’s vision of bringing folks together. “[King] would clearly be upset of how things have gone,” West said of all the turmoil across the country. “Things are better on the surface than they are overall. But is there less racism? It’s just not socially acceptable to admit it.”

West believes that discrimination has “gone kind of underground.”

Schools and communities remain segregated. Citizens have become complacent. Several people I spoke with in the County Board office had never heard of the McHenry County Human Relations Council, although I’m told it still exists … in some fashion.

The same cannot be said for the Interfaith Council for Social Justice or the Diversity Day Festival, begun in response to the Ku Klux Klan rally at the McHenry County Government Center in 1995. The former was mothballed and later stopped a few years back, its former director Patrick Murfin of Crystal Lake said.

“King would not be happy about the things that have been happening. His message has been co-opted for years,” Murfin said. “We need to get back to it by rolling up our sleeves, going out and getting our hands dirty. You can’t sit on the sidelines.”

Murfin joined Maggie Rivera and a number of other McHenry County residents Saturday in the nation’s Capitol for the Women’s March on Washington.

“From the perspective of us Latinos,

I think many became disillusioned that they are not being taken seriously,” said Rivera, Illinois’ deputy director for the League of United Latin American Citizens. “It has been more about laws and regulations; keeping us quiet and away from positions that could be influential in reversing that.”

But rather than folding up her tent, Rivera made her pitch elsewhere.

“I thought, ‘If I’m not making any dents here, I need to knock on higher-up doors and advocate at a national level.’

I did extensive traveling around the nation to bring more people into the loop so we could make a bigger snowball.”

In a quirk of karma, she believes the Trump administration might unwittingly galvanize people toward action.

“When you look at the very first massive deportations that we had here in the 1940s during World War II, that is when we became strong,” Rivera said.

“Thank you, Mr. President. You just gave us a little fuel.”

Laura Crane, past chairwoman of Woodstock’s Cultural Diversity Commission, noted that when it gets right down to it, we’re all one nation … indivisible.

“We accepted a second language, and by doing that, we accepted everything that comes with it. We accepted two cultures,” she said. The challenge now is building bridges between them – regardless of race or gender.

“We live a fast-paced life, a time-consuming life,” Crane said. “It is important to see and hear different voices. …

But it is intimidating for anyone to step into government roles. It takes that personal appeal to draw someone in and, almost, an offer to mentor them.”

And that is where events such as Music4Martin and its focus on young people comes in. West views the change in political winds as an “opportunity for dialogue” with teenagers who he believes are more socially aware but also increasingly cynical about government and politics.

“We hope to make them more aware of the power they have to make a difference,” West said.

••• During his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech Dec. 10, 1964, in Norway, King stated: “… I must ask why this prize is awarded to a movement which is beleaguered and committed to unrelenting struggle, and to a movement which has not yet won the very peace and brotherhood which is the essence of the Nobel Prize. After contemplation, I conclude that this award, which I receive on behalf of that movement, is a

“Civilization and violence are antithetical concepts. Negroes of the United States, following the people of India, have demonstrated that nonviolence is not sterile passivity, but a powerful moral force which makes for social transformation. Sooner or later, all the peoples of the world will have to discover a way to live together in peace, and thereby transform this pending cosmic elegy into a creative psalm of brotherhood. If this is to be achieved, man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love.

“The torturous road which has led from Montgomery, Alabama, to Oslo [, Norway,] bears witness to this truth, and this is a road over which millions of Negroes are traveling to find a new sense of dignity. This same road has opened for all Americans a new era of progress and hope. It has led to a new civil rights bill, and it will, I am convinced, be widened and lengthened into a superhighway of justice as Negro and white men in increasing numbers create alliances to overcome their common problems.

“I accept this award today with an abiding faith in America and an audacious faith in the future of mankind.

I refuse to accept despair as the final response to the ambiguities of history.”

Researcher turning science fiction into reality

By LENORE SOBOTA The Pantagraph

BLOOMINGTON – When Gabe Spalding talks about time traveling light waves, holograms and tractor beams, it might sound like the stuff of science fiction.

But the research being done by Spalding, Illinois Wesleyan University’s Ames professor of physics, has potential down-to-earth applications – from helping doctors see inaccessible parts of the body to helping motorists see through fog.

The fog issue is personal for Spalding. Years ago, his uncle, a milkman, drove his truck off the road in the fog.

The impact caused the milk containers to shift forward, crushing and nearly killing his uncle, recalled Spalding.

“The next generation of cars will have new ways to assist drivers,” he said.

In fact, Spalding said he is meeting soon with the CEO of Rivian Automotive, which last week finalized the purchase of former Mitsubishi auto assembly plant, to talk about student projects and internships.

Spalding does his research at IWU and with collaborators in Scotland, mostly engineers and surgeons. He involves his students in the work, too.

The proposed legislation would require companies to examine the past 20 years of their records to ensure that money was distributed properly, the (Peoria) Journal Star reported.

State Treasurer Michael Frerichs said the measure is important for individuals who don’t know they have funds owed to them.

“We think there are tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars more that should be paid out to the loved ones, the heirs or beneficiaries, of Illinois life insurance holders,” Frerichs said.

Illinois Wesleyan University physics professor Gabe Spalding holds a single-photon counting module that serves as a single-pixel camera Jan. 3 in his Bloomington office.

Two were in Arizona last week presenting research papers at a conference.

One, Toan Le, a senior in physics from Vietnam, is working on the project that involves “seeing” through fog.

Le described it as reconstructing images of hidden objects.

“The project provides a wide range of application in biomedical as well as

in vision systems for self-driving cars and remote-imaging systems,” Le said via email from the conference.

“A lot of the applications do take a long time. You can’t be motivated just by the end goal,” said Spalding, explaining the challenges of his research. “The students that work on these things are equally motivated by little steps.”

Frerichs’ office has been working with about 20 of the largest companies that sell such policies in Illinois. So far, there has been about $500 million found in unpaid life insurance benefits.

Not all such companies cooperated with the efforts of the treasurer’s office.

Some of the insurance businesses weren’t responsive, and others told the office they didn’t want to participate.

Free tax preparation available to low-income residents

SPRINGFIELD – The state of Illinois is offering free income tax preparation and filing for low-income residents.

Illinois Department of Human Services Secretary James Dimas said the services are available across the state to families with incomes up to $55,000 and individuals who earn up to $30,000 annually.

The service is a partnership between the state and tax assistance centers across Illinois.

Dimas said more than 29,000 people used the free service last year.

Judge: Ban on shackling child suspects adds costs

ROCKFORD – A chief judge in Northern Illinois said more officers are needed to comply with an Illinois Supreme Court rule banning the automatic shackling of juvenile suspects in state courtrooms.

The Rockford Register Star reported that Judge Joe McGraw is asking the Winnebago County Board to approve money to hire four additional officers.

McGraw said it will cost $50,000 to pay the officers through Sept. 30. After that the annual cost is estimated at $205,000.

McGraw said two officers are needed to accompany a juvenile in the courtroom and two to transport them between the detention center and downtown courtrooms.

Board member Gary Jury said the county doesn’t have the money.

He said the request is the result of another “unfunded state mandate” and may result in a tax increase.

In one of those recent steps, using specialized cameras, “We made a movie of something going backwards in time,” he said. At least, that’s what it appears to do.

The pulse of light used in the “time travel” experiment is about half the width of a single human hair. But to understand how it works, visualize a much wider beam shining up at a surface that’s at an angle.

The light will hit the lower end of the angled surface first, then “travel” to the upper end. But if a camera is positioned at that upper end, it will actually see the light at the upper end first, even though that light arrived later. This gives the appearance of moving backward.

If you shine a light on a convex surface – one curved outward toward you like a pillar in a building – the light will appear to move in two directions, away from each other. If the surface is concave – curved inward – the light will appear to move together and annihilate each other.

Spalding said these effects had been predicted, but nobody had ever done it before these high-speed cameras were used.

“The experiment demonstrates the capabilities of these cameras” and their ability “to look at processes too fast to see” otherwise, he said.

Normal council seeks legal opinion on 45-day gag rule

NORMAL – A central Illinois city that restricts speakers at council meetings is seeking advice from the state attorney general.

Normal limits speakers to one appearance every 45 days. City Manager Mark Peterson told The Pantagraph that the council likely will follow the attorney general’s opinion.

The restriction might violate the Illinois public meetings law.

Mayor Chris Koos said officials didn’t anticipate that some residents would have something to say at every meeting.

He calls it a “prudent rule.”

Council member Scott Preston said email might be a more effective way to reach the mayor and council, although he doesn’t see a need for the 45-day restriction.

Council member Kathleen Lorenz said the Bloomington council has a less restrictive policy and sometimes has trouble moving through the meeting agenda.

The enormous system put millions of people in the South on edge during a weekend of violent weather that left crumpled trailer homes, downed trees and other damage in the hardest-hit communities from Mississippi to Georgia. The severe weather threat continued Sunday night in some parts, extending into the Carolinas and north Florida.

At least 14 people were killed Sunday in Georgia as the fast-moving storms tore across the state throughout the day, with at least one deadly tornado reported before dawn and violent storms still rumbling after nightfall. Four people were killed Saturday in Mississippi when the system began its deadly assault.

Amid hostile start, Trump delivers unifying message

By JONATHAN LEMIRE The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – After a combative start to his presidency, Donald Trump delivered a more unifying message Sunday and sought to reassure Americans he was ready to begin governing a divided nation.

Trump began rolling out his plans for diplomatic outreach, speaking with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and announcing plans for early meetings with Netanyahu and other world leaders. He thanked top law enforcement officers for their service and support. And he swore-in a group of aides, telling them he believed they were ready to rise to a daunting task.

“But with the faith in each other and the faith in God, we will get the job done,” Trump said in a ceremony in the White House East Room. “We will prove worthy of this moment in history. And I think it may very well be a great moment in history.”

Trump’s reassurance came after a day marked by global protests against his presidency and his own complaints about media coverage of his inauguration, a combination of events that made for a contentious first full day in office on Saturday.

But even as the White House tried to forge forward, the president’s aides continued to defend the president and his press secretary, both of whom tore into journalists for accurately reporting that his swearing-in ceremony drew a smaller crowd than President Barack Obama did eight years ago. On Sunday, a top adviser said the Trump administration was supplying

“alternative facts.”

“There’s no way to really quantify crowds.

We all know that. You can laugh at me all you want,” Kellyanne Conway told NBC’s “Meet The Press.” She added: “I think it’s actually symbolic of the way we’re treated by the press.”

Trump on Saturday declared he believed “it looked like a million and a half people.”

But ridership on the Washington’s Metro system didn’t match that of recent inaugurations. As of 11 a.m. Friday, there were 193,000 trips taken, according to the transportation service’s Twitter account. At the same hour eight years ago, there had been 513,000 trips.

Four years later, there were 317,000 for Obama’s second inauguration.

Conway also declared that Trump will not release his tax returns now that he’s taken office, breaking a promise he made during the campaign.

As a candidate, he said he would release his returns after an IRS audit was completed. Every president since 1976 has released the information, but Conway said she does not believe Americans care whether Trump follows suit.

“He’s not going to release his tax returns.

We litigated this all through the election. People didn’t care,” Conway said on ABC’s “This Week.”

Trump’s advisers have set Monday up as the president’s first major day of action on his sweeping campaign promises, but as of Sunday night, it appeared as though his team was still making decisions on what moves to make.

Some congressional Republicans had expected Trump to sign orders over the weekend, but those never materialized.

Pair will discuss trade, NATO military alliance

By GREGORY KATZ

The Associated Press

LONDON – British Prime Minister Theresa May said Sunday she plans to discuss free trade and the importance of the NATO military alliance when she becomes the first foreign leader to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington.

The White House’s invitation for May to meet with Trump on Friday was seen in Britain as affirmation that Trump values the vaunted “special relationship”

between the United States and its longtime ally across the Atlantic.

She told BBC’s Andrew Marr that the Trump team is interested in discussing a new trade arrangement with Britain despite the “America first” theme of Trump’s inaugural address and his vow to evaluate every trade deal for its possible benefits to the U.S. Theresa May Any national leader would do the same when deciding whether to sign a trade pact, May said.

Britain sees a future trade agreement with the United States as vital as the country prepares to leave the European Union. However, Britain’s desire for in-

creased trade could clash with Trump’s protectionist stance.

May said she would also raise the value of the NATO military alliance during the meeting. She called it the “bulwark” of Europe’s defense system.

Trump has rattled European allies by suggesting NATO is “obsolete” and that the U.S. might not come to the aid of countries that don’t meet targets for their own defense spending.

May maintained that Trump understands NATO’s vital role. European leaders worry about a watering down of the NATO role given the increasingly aggressive actions by Russia in recent years.

The prime minister didn’t directly answer questions about whether she

will use Friday’s meeting to challenge Trump over derogatory comments he has made about women.

May criticized crude remarks of his that surfaced during the presidential campaign.

But she said she would speak out if she finds his future behavior or comments “unacceptable.” May said she has a long track record promoting equal rights for women, adding that she is proud to be Britain’s second female prime minister.

“When I sit down, I think the biggest statement that will be made about the role of women is the fact that I will be there as a female prime minister, prime minister of the United Kingdom, directly taking to him about the interests that we share,” she said.

HONOLULU – President Donald Trump has disputed climate change, pledged a revival of coal and disparaged wind power, and his nominee to head the Energy Department was once highly skeptical of the agency’s value.

What this means for states’ efforts to promote renewable energy is an open question.

States that are pushing for greater reliance on wind and solar power are not quite sure what to expect as Trump takes over. Many of them depend heavily on federal renewable-energy tax credits, grants and research, much of which comes from the Energy Department.

Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Trump’s pick to lead the department, presents a contradictory figure: A Texas oil promoter, he also oversaw a huge expansion of wind-energy production while governor. When he ran for president in 2011, he included Energy on a list of departments he thought should be abolished, though he disavowed the idea Thursday at his Senate confirmation hearing.

“We don’t know what version of Perry is going to show up,” said Michael Webber, deputy director of the Energy Institute at the University of Texas, Austin.

Renewable energy accounts for about 15 percent of the electricity generated in the United States. And 29 states have set targets for boosting their reliance on such power.

Officials, experts and advocates in more than a half-dozen states with some of the most ambitious goals told The Associated Press that they are on

Vermont Republican Gov. Phil Scott stands in front of a new solar power project he helped inaugurate Jan. 9 in Montpelier, Vt. Scott, who took office at the start of the year, said he remains committed to the goal set by his predecessor of getting 90 percent of the state’s power from renewable sources by 2050. course to meet their targets. Most said that while Trump policies could slow the expansion, they won’t stop it.

The price of harnessing the power of the sun and wind has dropped so much that in many areas of the country, experts say it could be competitive with traditional power sources such as coal and natural gas even without federal subsidies. Further, they do not expect a fast repeal of the key federal tax credits that have propelled the industry for years.

Still, policies aimed at bringing more renewable power online quickly are not expected while Trump is in office.

“We need to be moving faster, not slower,” said Jeff Forward, president of the trade group Renewable Energy Vermont. “I fear we’re tapping on the brakes right now.”

Those who promote renewable energy are concerned because Trump has expressed doubts about whether climate change is real, even though scientists agree that it is happening and that the burning of fossil fuels is a major reason for it.

Trump also has called for reviving the coal industry, which has struggled in part because of the rise of renewable energy. And he has criticized wind tur-

bines near Palm Springs, California, both for killing birds and for looking like a “junkyard.”

Perry, at his confirmation hearings, said he believes climate change is happening and that some of it is caused by human activity. He also said he favors an “all of the above” energy policy, the way he did in Texas, and wants the federal government to continue research on renewable energy. He didn’t say what he thought of green-energy tax credits and other incentives.

The federal wind credit is set to be phased out in 2019, and the solar one, four years after that. Those incentives and other federal spending on renewable energy in fiscal 2015 totaled about $10 billion, nearly twice as much as similar subsidies for fossil fuels.

In Hawaii, federal tax credits reduced the price for developers and homeowners by about $125 million annually from 2011 to 2014, according to an analysis by Blue Planet Foundation. During that time, the portion of the state’s electricity coming from renewables nearly doubled from 12 to 21 percent.

Randy Iwase, chairman of the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission, said incentives are important to the state’s goal of having 100 percent of its power generated from renewable sources by 2045, the nation’s most aggressive target.

“We are in a toddler stage,” he said.

“When you lose focus, when attention is distracted, when you make it less of a priority, the toddler kind of wobbles.”

The Energy Department said in a report last year that the cost of getting power from wind fell more than 40 percent from 2008 to 2015, and solar panel prices dropped more than 60 percent in that period.

A resident checks her driveway Sunday after a river of mud and debris washed in front of her home on Melcanyon Road below the recent Fish fire burn area in Duarte, Calif.

Authorities issued mandatory evacuation orders for homes surrounding Valley View Park and Valley View Elementary School.

Flooding in Calif. leads to evacuations The ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES – Fast-moving floodwaters swept through California mountain communities and residents fled homes below hillsides scarred by wildfires as the third – and largest – in the latest series of storms brought a deluge Sunday and warnings about damaging mudslides.

The National Weather Service cautioned that the system was expected to gain strength into the evening and could be the strongest storm in at least seven years. California has been swamped during a wet winter that has brought plenty of rain and snow after years of drought.

Residents in rural Santa Cruz County watched helplessly Sunday as the San Lorenzo River spilled over its banks for the second time this month, sending muddy water and debris into yards and homes. No injuries were reported.

“This is the fastest I’ve ever seen this river move. It’s already flowing under my house. I have maybe 2 feet of clearance before it’s in my living room,” Paradise Park resident Tammy Grove told the Sentinel newspaper.

Battalion Chief Aldo Gonzales with the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said the river is the highest he has ever seen it.

Rock slides, debris flows and flooding closed roads and snarled traffic up and down the state as the third storm in four days dumped heavy rain and snow in the mountains.

Flash flood watches and warnings were in effect for swaths of greater Los

Angeles, where mountain locations could see up to 6 inches of rain. Rain fell at a rate of nearly three-quarters of an inch per hour.

Traffic was diverted off Interstate 110 south of downtown Los Angeles because of water flowing across lanes.

Authorities ordered evacuations near wildfire burn areas in Santa Barbara, Los Angeles and Orange counties.

Potential debris flows could restrict access for emergency responders, officials said.

Some residents refused to leave, but Ralph Olivas loaded up his family and their dog and left his home in Duarte, nestled in scenic foothills east of Los Angeles that were left bare by wildfires last June. Recent rain sent rocks down steep streets where homeowners built protective barriers out of lumber and sandbags.

“We’re packing and leaving because the muds are coming, the mudslides,” he told Los Angeles news station KCALTV, adding that the risk “comes with the territory living up here.”

In northern Los Angeles County, about 120 residents near burn areas of Santa Clarita were ordered to leave late Saturday. During Friday’s storm, raging floodwaters overflowed a creek and sent a sheriff’s cruiser floating down a street.

Residents who ignore orders to leave can put first-responders at risk later if rescues are needed, said Mike Eliason with the fire department in Santa Barbara County, where canyon areas wiped clean by wildfires were under caution of flash flooding.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Gov. Eric Greitens is pushing to toughen Missouri’s already stiff penalties for attacking a police officer, reflecting similar efforts underway in other states and pleasing many in Missouri’s law enforcement community, which has been on the defensive since the police killing of an unarmed black 18-year-old in Ferguson more than two years ago.

Whether such changes are needed is debatable – among those who think they aren’t is a fellow Republican lawmaker and legal expert who helped craft revisions of the state’s criminal code that just took effect.

“We can feel like we’re doing a great thing and we’re really solving the problem,” said state Sen. Bob Dixon, a leader on criminal law and chair of the chamber’s committee on criminal laws. “This does not solve that problem.”

Greitens, a former Rhodes Scholar and Navy SEAL officer who ran multiple campaign ads featuring him firing large guns, pledged during his first major policy speech to help pass “the toughest laws in the country for anyone who assaults a peace officer,” even though Missouri already has harsher penalties for people who hurt cops or first responders.

He also spoke about a “Ferguson effect,” which allegedly has made officers more hesitant about performing their duties since the 2014 killing of Michael Brown because of a fear of being questioned later on. Brown’s killing by a white Ferguson officer sparked months of protests and led to a Department of Justice investigation of the department. The officer wasn’t charged.

Lawmakers in more than a dozen other states and Congress have proposed making it a hate crime to assault an officer. Louisiana became the first state to enact such legislation in May, allowing prosecutors to seek stronger penalties when police, firefighters and emergency medical crews are intentionally targeted because of their professions.

Almost every state, including Missouri, already has tougher penalties for assaults or other offenses against police, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

A Missouri conviction for second-degree assault, in which someone

Missouri Gov.-elect Eric Greitens speaks Jan. 9 in Jefferson City, Mo. is seriously injured or a lethal weapon is used, currently carries a sentence of one day to seven years in prison or a fine. When the victim is a police officer, the penalty is five to 15 years. Legislation proposed by GOP state Sen. Doug Libla would double it to 10 to 30 years or life behind bars.

Police deaths on the job have generally declined over the past four decades, from a recent high of 280 in 1974 to a low of 109 in 2013, according to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, which tracks officer deaths dating to the 18th century. But officer deaths have steadily risen since then, up to 136 in 2016. Those figures include attacks on police as well as accidental deaths such as car crashes.

Those pushing for stiffer penalties say they could serve as a deterrent.

They point to an attack in Dallas last July in which a military veteran killed five officers at a protest, in what was the deadliest day for American law enforcement since Sept. 11, 2001. Ten days later, a former Marine killed three Baton Rouge, Louisiana, police officers.

Dixon, the Republican state senator, is skeptical about this argument.

He said criminals who repeatedly break the law might take note of stricter punishments and be deterred by them, but that it probably wouldn’t apply to cases of shootings of police.

“The person who shoots a cop probably didn’t look up the statutes to see what the penalty was,” Dixon said.

“It’s a one-time deal.”

Debris and smoke rise after a Saudi-led airstrike hit an army base Sunday in Sanaa, Yemen. sued in response to mounting pressure for more information about lethal U.S. operations overseas.

Human rights and other groups have criticized the Obama administration, saying it has undercounted civilian casualties. They also worry that President Trump will more aggressively conduct drone strikes, which are subject to little oversight from Congress or the judiciary.

In the years since the drone program

began, Yemen has fallen ever deeper into chaos. A two-year-old civil war began after Shiite Houthis rebels seized the capital Sanaa and forced the president, Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, to flee the country. In March 2015, a Saudi-led military coalition launched an extensive air campaign aimed at restoring Hadi’s government.

Intense negotiations ahead of Russian-led Syria talks

By PHILIP ISSA and ZEINA KARAM The Associated Press

ASTANA, Kazakhstan – Delegates from Russia, Turkey and Iran held hours-long talks in Kazakhstan Sunday on the eve of negotiations between Syrian rebels and President Bashar Assad’s government, trying to forge common ground that would nudge forward a political settlement for the country’s civil war.

The talks between the two warring sides are the first in a year, and are meant as a first step to consolidate a cease-fire reached last month.

Whether Russia and Turkey will manage to bolster the cease-fire they brokered on Dec. 30 will be a key measure of success for the Astana meetings, Syrian opposition spokesman Yahya al-Aridi told reporters in the Kazakh capital Sunday.

The opposition delegation, which arrived in Astana earlier in the day, is made up of about a dozen rebel figures led by Mohammad Alloush, of the powerful Army of Islam rebel group. The Syrian government is sending its U.N.

“If the other side doesn’t care about stopping the bloodshed in Syria, and cares most about staying in power at the expense of Syrian blood ... in that case, nothing will work.”

Yahya al-Aridi

Syrian opposition spokesman ambassador, Bashar Ja’afari, and military delegates.

The U.N.’s Syria envoy, Staffan de Mistura, is participating in the talks, which are to be followed by more political talks in February in Geneva. The new U.S. administration is not directly involved, because of the “immediate demands of the transition,” the State Department said Saturday, but Washington will be represented by the U.S. ambassador to Kazakhstan, George Krol.

The talks are sponsored by Russia,

Iran and Turkey, and are the latest attempt to forge a settlement to end a war that has by most estimates killed more than 400,000 people since March 2011 and displaced more than half the country’s population.

At the top of the agenda for the talks, which will be held at the Rixos President Hotel, is an effort to consolidate last month’s cease-fire. The truce excludes extremist groups such as the Islamic State group and the al-Qaida affiliate in Syria. It has reduced overall violence, but fighting and violations continue on multiple fronts.

“If this can be achieved, this can help the political process,” al-Aridi said.

The scope of the aims reflects the constrained position of the opposition, which last year was pushing for a political transition in Syria that would exclude Assad.

Al-Aridi said there was no plan to discuss Assad’s position before addressing what he said were ongoing government violations of the cease-fire.

“I don’t think there’s a context for that now. Nobody is ready for this,”

al-Aridi told reporters in Astana. “We need a commitment to that cease-fire.”

“If the other side doesn’t care about stopping the bloodshed in Syria, and cares most about staying in power at the expense of Syrian blood ... in that case, nothing will work,” he said. Reflecting the enormous distrust at play, he described the Iranians as “spoilers” and “occupiers” and claimed they are not serious about the entire process.

Iran and Russia have provided key financial and military support to Assad’s government, while Turkey has backed the opposition.

Ja’afari told reporters on the plane to Astana that in addition to cease-fire talks, a priority was to “unify efforts to combat terrorism.” He said the meeting will “test the credibility and seriousness of participants sitting around the table and those who support them.”

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s special adviser on Syria, Alexandre Lavrentiev, said after more than four hours of meetings with the Turkish and Iranian delegations that the three state delegations were “moving toward a united front.”

SANAA, Yemen – Suspected U.S. drone strikes have killed three alleged al-Qaida operatives in Yemen’s southwestern Bayda province, security and tribal officials said, the first such killings reported in the country since Donald Trump assumed the U.S. presidency Friday.

The two Saturday strikes killed Abu Anis al-Abi, an area field commander, and two others, they said, speaking on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to release the information to journalists.

U.S. drone strikes against suspected al-Qaida targets have been commonplace in the years since the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on New York and Washington, as a retaliatory measure against the group. The use of unmanned aircraft as well as air strikes in the Arab world’s poorest country rose dramatically under President Barack Obama, with data from the Britain-based Bureau of Investigative Journalism showing spikes in attacks, especially in 2012 and 2016.

On Thursday, U.S. intelligence officials said as many as 117 civilians had been killed in drone and other counterterror attacks in Pakistan, Yemen and elsewhere during Obama’s presidency.

It was the second public assessment is-

al terror network, exploited the chaos, seizing territory in the country’s south and east, and the Islamic State group has also claimed attacks. The northern region remains under Houthi control.

On Sunday, Mwatana, one of Yemen’s top human rights groups, released a documentary on civilian victims of drone strikes, interviewing family members who say their relatives were innocent and they had received no compensation from the U.S. despite their wrongful deaths.

It cited much higher civilian death tolls than the U.S. intelligence report, saying that hundreds of innocents had been killed by the U.S. strikes across the country since at least 2002.

In one segment from Bayda, the same province where Saturday’s drone strikes hit, Ali Abedrabbo Ahmed said his 17-year old son was only a simple construction worker killed while he was going to work in a pickup truck with colleagues in 2014, an incident other witnesses corroborated in the video.

“Who do we talk to? America? Where is America?” said Nasser Mohammed Nasser, a survivor from the targeted convoy. “They would kill two or three from al-Qaida on one hand and 10 or 15 civilians on the other hand. Where is this al-Qaida they claim to be killing? ... There are many other incidents like ours due to drones.”

OUR VIEW

Freedom of speech and social media

Social media has inarguably become the Wild, Wild West of communications.

But the solution suggested last week by the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights and Economic Justice in letters to the heads of FaceFor the record book and Twitter is a slippery slope “The remedy to be applied indeed. is more speech, not enforced “In order to silence.” effectively stem the tide of hate speech and bullying” on the social media sites, the group urged that they “take aggressive and proactive steps to combat this conduct. If not, courts and regulators will step into that void and mandate reforms.”

The letter, sent by the organization’s director of litigation, is, of course, aimed at intimidating both social media giants into some form of voluntary compliance. And the companies do have policies against hate speech, which they attempt to enforce – albeit imperfectly.

Frankly, hate speech is the least of their worries right now. In recent weeks there was that vicious attack on a white mentally impaired teen [from Crystal Lake] by four young African-Americans broadcast live to Facebook as they shouted racial slurs. Or the teen accused of livestreaming her friend’s rape over Twitter’s Periscope. Chicago gangs have taken to using social media to boast of their crimes.

So is there a problem – especially with the video components of social media? You bet there is.

But somehow we think that’s not exactly what the Lawyers’ Committee had in mind with its pleas against “hate speech” – a phrase now so abused by every “snowflake” on college campuses that it is virtually meaningless.

“The failure to take more aggressive action – and to protect minority users – is tantamount to facilitating discrimination and raises the specter of liability under federal and state law,” the letter states.

So only minorities can be victims of hate speech? (Guess women need not apply.)

It is high time to recall the advice of Justice Louis Brandeis on the issue of hate speech – that “the remedy to be applied is more speech, not enforced silence.”

AMENDMENT

IT’S YOUR WRITE Chooses to fight

To the Editor: Gov. Bruce Rauner ran on a promise to force a strike (https:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuljgljmyxI). Rauner walked away from contract negotiations with AFSCME over a year ago.

Gov. Rauner has told the public that his last contract offer provided glossy $1,000 bonuses, reasonable overtime adjustments, and sensible drug testing policies.

Gov. Rauner has not told the public that his last contract offer included pay freezes and doubling health care costs, which would result in $10,000 income reductions to employees. Gov. Rauner has not told the public that his last contract offer included unfettered privatization opportunities for his political cronies with no justification or oversight.

Ask yourself, if your boss came to you and said, “I’m going to cut your salary by $10,000 and

probably lay you off in the next two years,” what would you do?

I suspect you would choose to leave your job or fight for your job. I choose to fight.

Excellent example

To the Editor: Algonquin Township residents, thank you for providing to me an example of excellence in right-ofway maintenance. As I have gone about learning to be the Nunda Township highway commissioner these past three-and-a-half years, I need not look any farther than our southern neighbor for a source of outstanding advice and expertise.

Your road district does everything from recycling to plowing and you do it as good or better than anyone else. As a new township highway commissioner,

I have explored your Algonquin facility and sought advice from your highway commissioner, Bob Miller, on more than one occasion to ensure that Nunda is as successful and runs as smoothly as Algonquin.

Miller has been resourceful in answering every question that I as a rookie could think up. Furthermore, I have been told I am not the first; others have expressed to me that he has always helped in training newcomers so that surrounding communities are as successful as his own.

I have never met a person more willing to help his neighbors or to share his secrets for success than Bob Miller.

I will forever be grateful to you, the residents of Algonquin Township, for providing me an excellent example of what a township highway commissioner should be.

VIEWS Eli Lake matic options were not pursued. But in some cases, an accommodation with rogues is not desirable. You can’t resort to diplomacy with the Islamic State, for instance. What’s more, a willingness to use force makes diplomacy more effective. Kerry, though, sees it the other way around. “I am not a pacifist,” he wrote. “But I learned as a young man who fought in Vietnam that before resorting to war, those in positions of responsibility should do everything in their power to achieve their objectives by other means.”

The problem is, some people will always argue more diplomacy can be tried, even if it’s only buying time for an aggressor. Kerry has some experience in this. For a while, Kerry took the diplomacy-last view of Bashar al-Assad, the dictator who has ravaged Syria. He even acknowledges in Thursday’s op-ed that he urged Obama to intervene in Syria, and he lost the debate. Nonetheless, Kerry spent his last year in office trying for a peace conference for Syria in endless talks with the Russians.

In this sense, the outgoing secretary of state made the classic error noted by the UCLA basketball coach, John Wooden: He mistook activity for achievement. Even as Russia was establishing airbases in Syria in the fall of 2015, Kerry pursued his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov with fervor. He came close to what he thought were cease-fire agreements, only to see them fall apart at the last moment. In September, Kerry was so frustrated he accused the Russians of war crimes, after evidence emerged that Russia or Syria had struck an aid convoy on its way into Aleppo. The siege there finally ended after Syrians, Iranians and Russians had killed enough rebel fighters and civilians that there was no one left to starve. Eventually a ceasefire was negotiated between Russia and Turkey.

We are about to see Kerry’s diplomacy-uber-alles approach again put into practice.

Donald Trump has made it clear that he will seek a new bargain with Russia, even though the U.S. intelligence community has concluded Russia interfered in the presidential election by hacking and leaking the e-mails of prominent Democrats. Kerry’s predecessor, Hillary Clinton, also pursued such a bargain with the Russians. She ended up being the political victim of a state that should have been deterred, not courted.

Donald Trump’s incoming national security team would do well to clip John Kerry’s op-ed from Thursday’s New York Times and keep it on file. It’s a cautionary tale about the limits of diplomacy not backed by a credible threat of force.

Kerry of course defends his record as America’s top diplomat. “I will leave office convinced that most global trends remain in our favor and that America’s leadership and engagement are as essential and effective today as ever,” he writes.

Does Kerry really believe this? Most global trends right now are dangerous for the U.S. national interest. During Kerry’s tenure at the State Department, European states have been succumbing to right-wing populism fueled by a refugee crisis created by the war in Syria, which Obama allowed to burn (over the suggestions at times of Kerry, it should be said). That negative transformation has also been spurred by the West’s failure to check Russian aggression until after Vladimir Putin and his little green men annexed Crimea.

In the Middle East, Jordan and Lebanon are now threatened by that same refugee crisis, Turkey is in the midst of a brutal campaign against its Kurdish citizens and America’s gulf allies worry about meddling from Iran. In Asia, North Korea’s nuclear proliferation has gone unchecked, and China’s assertion of its territorial claims in the South China Sea has become more aggressive.

But let’s get back to the nub of Kerry’s case.

He says U.S. foreign policy has been successful because President Barack Obama “restored assertive diplomacy as our foreign policy tool of first resort and deployed it time and again to advance our security and prosperity.”

There are a few problems with this. To start, Kerry’s examples of success are often things the U.S. did to mitigate a crisis that emerged under Obama’s watch. For example, he says assertive diplomacy was used to work with Europe to sanction Russia … after its annexation of Crimea. He attributes Iraq’s decision to form a more inclusive government in 2014 to this diplomacy-first approach … after the rise of Islamic State. Indeed, even if the coalition fighting the Islamic State in Raqqa and Mosul is a product of this diplomacy-first approach, it’s something of an ex post facto achievement.

Kerry’s unstated implication is that Obama’s predecessor, George W. Bush, didn’t practice diplomacy first, and instead was too quick to go to war. It’s a tired talking point, repeated by Democrats since the mid 2000s.

Bush, like all presidents, of course did practice diplomacy. He built a Coalition of the Willing to support the invasion of Iraq. His State Department developed a new multilateral group to target illicit proliferators. He negotiated a nuclear agreement with India.

Kerry might say that the decision to invade Iraq was a rush to war and that all diplo-

CRP level determines statin use Dear Doctor: A news report recently said statins are underused. I’m 50 with normal cholesterol. Should I take one just in case?

Dear Reader: Statins, which are a type of cholesterol-lowering medication, consistently have shown benefit in reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes in people who have had a previous heart attack or angina. This benefit is called secondary prevention. Statins also have shown benefit in people with risk factors for heart disease who have never had a heart attack; smokers; and people with diabetes, hypertension or a family history of heart disease. This is called primary prevention.

In people such as yourself, the potential benefit of statin use is not as clear-cut. So, first, let’s look at the Jupiter study, published in 2008. The 17,802 people in this study had normal cholesterol levels – that is, an LDL score (for low-density lipoprotein, the so-called “bad cholesterol”) of less than 130 – but they had an elevated level of highly sensitive C-reactive protein (CRP), a marker for both inflammation and a heightened risk of coronary artery disease.

Researchers divided participants into two groups, with one group taking a daily placebo and the other group taking a daily 20-milligram dose of rosuvastatin. The study was stopped in less than two years because of the significant benefit seen in the group that took the statin.

The study authors found a 44 percent decrease in deaths from heart attacks and strokes and a 20 percent decrease in the total death rate among the group who took the statin. Not only did participants who took rosuvastatin show a reduction in cholesterol, they also showed a decrease in their levels of highly sensitive CRP. That suggests statins reduce both cholesterol and the inflammation that may lead to vascular disease.

Now let’s look at what to consider wheth-

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Robert Ashley er your CRP level is normal and you have normal cholesterol. A 2001 study in the New England Journal of Medicine followed 6,605 men and women in Texas who had either normal CRP levels or abnormal CRP levels.

One group was given a statin, called lovastatin, and the other group was given a placebo.

Although there was a benefit seen with lovastatin among those who had an elevated CRP level, the benefit was not seen in those who had a normal CRP level.

One conclusion from the data is if you have normal cholesterol and no other risk factors, you should have your doctor check your levels of highly sensitive CRP. If the CRP persistently is elevated, then there is likely benefit to a cholesterol-lowering medication. One word of caution, however: If you have inflammation related to either infection or an autoimmune condition, the CRP will be elevated because of those conditions and therefore won’t be a reliable marker.

Doctors currently assess the need for statins by looking at risk calculators. These risk calculators assess an individual’s risk of having a heart attack over the next 10 years.

However, the science behind the risk calculator is poor, with a large Kaiser Permanente study of 307,000 people showing that it may significantly overestimate risk.

That finding emphasizes the need for the CRP test. If that test is normal, a statin would be unlikely to provide any benefit to you.

Dear Abby: I DEAR ABBY have had a best friend for more Jeanne than 20 years.

Phillips We met when we were 18 and have been inseparable ever since. I was best man in his wedding, and when his first child was born, I traveled six hours to be at the hospital when “Sara” was born. I have never missed a birthday or Christmas.

When my friend announced they were moving from Ohio to Arizona, I knew I couldn’t be away from him and his family, so I moved as well. I have no family of my own, and I adore his two girls. Well, Sara turned 13 this year and, like most teenagers, she’s distancing herself from her family and even more so from me.

When her mom and dad invite me for dinner or a family get-together, she barely acknowledges me when I say hi or ask how she’s doing.

She wants nothing to do with me. It breaks my heart. I love her, and I consider her to be family.

My question is, should I continue to go and support her with her sporting events at school?

(I have never missed a game.) Do I continue to shower her with birthday and Christmas gifts?

On one hand, I tell myself this is just a phase she is going through and to change nothing, hoping one day she realizes I’m her biggest cheerleader and recognizes the love I have for her. On the other hand, I think she’s acting like a spoiled brat, and if she doesn’t know how to treat people, then I want nothing to do with her. How should I handle this? – Un-Uncle In

VHS Movies - 1000 To Choose From Laura Schlessinger claims that her radio show preaches, teaches and nags about morals, values and ethics.

She said, “Children are our second chance to have a great parent-child relationship.”

Some do not need that second chance; they had a great relationship with one or both of their parents. But others do want that second opportunity.

Bridge declarers can be like that.

They see two ways to get the tricks needed for their contract -- let’s call them line A and line B. Sometimes declarer must choose between them; on other deals, it will be possible to succeed if either A or B works -which is obviously preferable.

In today’s deal, South is in three no-trump. West leads the club ace: two, 10, nine. West continues with the club four (in case his partner has only queen-third of clubs). East wins with the queen, returns the club three, wins the fourth trick with his club eight and shifts to a low spade.

How should South try to benefit from the 4-4 club split?

South starts with eight top tricks: one spade, three hearts and four diamonds. The obvious chances for a ninth trick are the spade finesse working -- line A, let’s say -- or the missing hearts splitting 3-3 -- line B. Which would a mathematician recommend?

A finesse is theoretically a 50-50 shot, but a 3-3 break happens only approximately one time in three. So, the finesse is the better percentage.

This means that South, after discarding the spade four at trick three, should pitch the heart five at trick four and bank everything on the spade finesse, which, of course, works!

Current, former major leaguers die in Dominican crashes SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (AP) – Kansas City Royals pitcher Yordano Ventura and former major leaguer Andy Marte died in separate traffic accidents Sunday in their native Dominican Republic.

Highway patrol spokesman Jacobo Mateo said Ventura died on a highway leading to the town of Juan Adrian, about 40 miles northwest of Santo Domingo. He said it was not clear if Ventura was driving.

Tyler Pennington never doubted his ability on a football field before and will not start now.

The Cary-Grove standout knows he can compete at college football’s highest level, but apparently there are plenty of NCAA Division I coaches who need PREP ZONE some convincing.

Joe It Stevenson seems odd for a player with Pennington’s résumé – a fouryear starter, 15th on the IHSA career rushing list and 10-4 on his playoff teams – to be without any papers to sign come Feb. 1, the National Letter of Intent signing day for football.

Yet barring some last-minute offer, that likely is what will happen. The Trojans’ fullback-linebacker remains a free agent and probably will wind up accepting a preferred walk-on offer from some school, meaning he would have a roster spot, but no athletic scholarship to begin his career. Often, the scholarship will come later if the player contributes.

“It definitely is frustrating,” said Pennington, who most likely will be a linebacker in college. “Especially seeing other guys get offers, guys you have had success against. Just because I’m not 6-(foot)-2 or don’t run a 4.6 (40-yard dash time) doesn’t mean I’m not as good as them. That’s one of the most frustrating things, but you just have to keep plugging away.

That’s the cards I was dealt, have to make the best of them, you know?”

Pennington has all the immeasurables college coaches would ever want. He’s tough, he’s smart, he’s the consummate leader and he’s a winner.

He was highly productive (5,161 yards and 84 touchdowns) in his career for a top program in one of the state’s top conferences.

D-I coaches look at one measureable – that Pennington is 5-11. At 220 pounds, he is big and strong enough, and can add weight. D-I coaches often look at the 5-11 and move on.

Doug Pennington is 6-3 and played on Northwestern’s defensive line.

Although Tyler got his father’s toughness and football genes, he missed out on his dad’s height.

Cary-Grove’s Tyler Pennington runs for a first down against Huntley on Sept. 23 in Cary.

The Trojans won, 33-7.

Perhaps the D-I coaches should listen to Trojans coach Brad Seaburg, who is trying to sell them an excellent product.

“You wish you could really get them to realize the kind of player Tyler is,” Seaburg said. “Somebody will.

It just might mean that he’s not going to get money to start. He may never get money. Someone’s going to realize the quality of player he is.”

If coaches also don’t think Pennington’s fast enough, Seaburg offers this: “Tyler’s such a smart player and has such good instincts,” Seaburg said.

“His top-end 40 speed is not going to blow anybody away, but what he lacks in that component, he makes up for in knowing before the ball’s snapped where it’s probably going to be. That’s a hard part to coach. You can kind of, to an extent, get kids a little faster, but it’s pretty tough to get kids that instinct.”

Seaburg said Pennington is one of the smartest players he has had at C-G. He mentioned that Pennington always was locked in during practices, often even listening to what the tight ends were supposed to be doing on the back side of a play when he was fullback on the play side.

Pennington always paid attention to every detail.

Pennington has a preferred walk-on

offer from Northwestern. He plans on contacting other schools that might be a good fit, mentioning Minnesota, Georgia Tech, Indiana, Purdue and Western Michigan. He has contacted Toledo.

“I’ve always wanted to play bigger,” Pennington said. “I’m going to have to walk on somewhere big.”

Pennington was the Northwest Herald Male Athlete of the Year in 2015-16.

He scored 29 on the ACT, which he will retake next month trying to grab a couple more points, and owns a 3.75 GPA. The vertical challenge aside, there’s a lot to like there.

Seaburg figures Pennington will further be fueled by being overlooked for a scholarship.

“Motivation has never been hard for me,” Pennington said. “That’s another [source]. I feel like I owe it to myself to give it a go at the highest level.”

Some D-I coaching staff is going to be thrilled. Within a couple of years, that staff might be considering Pennington the Bargain of the Decade.

PRAIRIE RIDGE FOOTBALL

Prairie Ridge’s Jeff Jenkins (left) and Jacob Ommen react after Jenkins’ fourth-quarter sack of DeKalb quarterback Derek Kyler in a Class 6A semifinal playoff game Nov. 19 in Crystal Lake. Jenkins on Sunday announced on Twitter he has committed to Iowa and coach Kirk Ferentz.

I offers, from Iowa and five Mid-American Conference schools (Ball State, Bowling Green, Central Michigan, Northern Illinois and Toledo).

“I went there knowing I loved Iowa, and I wanted to be sure it felt at home to me, and I really wanted to be a Hawkeye,” Jenkins said. “I kind of had an idea before I came down. After talking to coach Ferentz and his son, Brian, the offensive coordinator, there

was no doubt in my mind and I didn’t want to wait.”

Jenkins has started on the Wolves’ offensive line for three seasons. He also started at defensive end the past two seasons and twice has been a Northwest Herald All-Area first-team selection. He was an Illinois High School Football Coaches Association Class 6A All-Stater the past two seasons.

Schremp is amazed at the energy Jenkins brings as a

joined the Jenkinses the next day in Iowa City.

Schremp said they had talked about the recruitment and thought Iowa was a great fit.

After meeting with the coaches, it confirmed that Iowa was the place.

“Jeff isn’t a guy who needed to have a bunch of coaches telling him how great he is or to go through a long recruiting process,” Schremp said. “Today was just a matter of checking off a few more boxes here and there.”

Jenkins likes that Ferentz has been at Iowa for 18 years and provided a stable coaching staff. He also likes that Iowa has a solid tradition of developing linemen for the NFL. “I still kind of can’t believe it’s happening,” Jenkins said.

“I want to start working hard in the weight room, focus on school, and it’s nice to be done with the whole recruiting process kind of early.”

The next step for Jenkins will be recruiting his close friend Evans, who also has an offer from the Hawkeyes. Evans, an option quarterback, is being recruited by most schools as a running back or receiver.

“I’m going to do my best,” Jenkins said. “I really want him there.”

HARVARD WRESTLING

Practice partners Fiegel, Wilcox make commitments

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com Harvard wrestler Josh Fiegel realizes some people will not understand the bond he has built through the years with Justin Wilcox.

Since they started in the sport as youngsters – around age 4, Fiegel said he thinks – they almost always have been practice partners.

“There’s something special about having a practice partner every day,” said Fiegel, the Hornets’ 126-pounder. “You go to war with each other every day, then you come out smiling and happy.”

Wilcox said he believes Fiegel is as responsible as anyone for his success.

“I don’t think I would be where I’m at if it wasn’t for him,” said Wilcox,

Harvard’s 132-pounder.

Their high school careers will be finished in a few weeks, but Fiegel and Wilcox both will continue wrestling in college, although they will be practicing with someone else.

Wilcox, who is 33-4 this season, is heading to NCAA Division II Ashland (Ohio) University to join the Eagles, who are ranked No. 12 in the nation. Wilcox Josh Fiegel will receive a partial athletic scholarship for wrestling.

Fiegel (33-3) recently decided he will wrestle next year at D-III Wisconsin-LaCrosse.

“I always wanted to go D-II; I thought that would be a good fit for me,” Wilcox

said. “There aren’t many D-II schools around here, so I started sending out highlight films my freshman year.”

Wilcox visited the school last summer and again in the fall, when he met some of the current Eagles.

“I am very excited,” Wilcox said. “I’m born and raised in Harvard.

Harvard’s been very, very good to me. I think Justin Wilcox it’s time the rest of the world sees what Harvard wrestling can bring to the table.

I’m ready to make that leap.”

Fiegel said LaCrosse coach Dave Malecek heard about him through other coaches. He was impressed with the regard people around the school had

for the program.

“It is a wrestling community,” Fiegel said. “When I was being shown around by the coach, I could tell there was a lot of love for wrestling around the community and the college campus. When I went up there, I fell in love with the place.

One of the things the coach told me was, ‘Within five minutes of leaving, you’ll know if you want to come here or not.’

And I knew it was where I wanted to go.”

Wilcox and Fiegel were practice partners early in their careers, but around middle school, Wilcox was near 100 pounds and Fiegel was around 80, so they had different partners for a couple of years. By high school, Fiegel had gained weight and they were together again.

“We’ve been partners pretty much every year,” Fiegel said.

Iowa’s football coaches needed to see only one play of the IHSA Class 6A football state championship game to know how badly they wanted Prairie Ridge lineman Jeff Jenkins.

It wasn’t even a block where Jenkins blew open a hole for the Wolves’ high-powered offense. It was one that showed what Prairie Ridge coach Chris Schremp has known for a long time: No one plays harder than Jenkins.

Wolves quarterback Samson Evans was stripped of the football, and Sacred Heart-Griffin defensive back Jack Boll scooped it up and took off. Boll scored on a 66yard return, but Jenkins, a 6-foot-4, 230-pound junior tackle, nearly caught Boll inside the Prairie Ridge 20.

“Two of their coaches said a big reason they wanted him was that play,” Schremp said.

“They saw that play and said they knew he was an Iowa guy.”

Jenkins, who now weighs 250, made it official Sunday, announcing on Twitter he had committed to the Hawkeyes and coach Kirk Ferentz. Jenkins had six NCAA Division

two-way starter. On the aforementioned fumble play in the state title game, which Prairie Ridge won, 48-17, Jenkins was on the opposite side of the field when he almost caught Boll.

Schremp paid Jenkins the ultimate compliment when he talked with two members of Prairie Ridge’s 2011 Class 6A state champs, Sean Folliard and Shane Evans, both of whom play at NIU. “I told them, ‘Nothing against you, you played your butts off, you know I love you, but there’s no player we’ve had that plays harder than Jeff,’ ” Schremp said. “For how many plays he plays, offensively and defensively, there’s nobody we’ve had who can consistently play at the level he plays for entire games.”

Jenkins said he has added about 20 pounds since the season was over. Through his sophomore season, he had trouble keeping on weight. But his ability and effort were never a question.

Jenkins was offered Jan. 13 and traveled to Iowa City on Jan. 14 with his parents, John and Jean. Former Prairie Ridge teammates Dereck Pearson and Kyle Heinzmann, now students at Iowa, took him out for dinner and a tour of the campus Jan. 14. Schremp

4 NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME: FALCONS 44, PACKERS 21

Ryan, Atlanta rout Green Bay Falcons QB to make Super Bowl debut in 9th season

By PAUL NEWBERRY The Associated Press

ATLANTA – Matt Ryan tumbled into the end zone, slammed the ball to the turf with a thunderous spike and let out a scream that showed just how much he wanted this game.

He wants the next one even more.

With another MVP-worthy performance and plenty of help from Julio Jones, Matty Ice guided the Atlanta Falcons to a 44-21 rout of the Green Bay Packers for the NFC championship Sunday, a showing that erased any doubts about whether Ryan can win the big games.

In his ninth season, he finally is heading to his first Super Bowl.

Call him Super Matty.

“We’ll enjoy it because it’s hard to get to this point. I know that from experience,” Ryan said. “But our ultimate goal is still in front of us.”

The Falcons (13-5) will face Tom Brady and the Patriots on Feb. 5 in Houston, only the second Super Bowl appearance in Atlanta’s 51-year history. Eighteen years ago, they lost to

things, too. After barely practicing during the week because of a lingering toe injury, he finished off the Packers with a 73-yard catch-and-run on Atlanta’s second snap of the second half, pushing the lead to 31-0 and essentially turning the rest of the Georgia Dome finale into one long celebration.

“He’s a beast,” Ryan said. “I’ve been lucky to play with him as long as I have. He was impressive today. I know he wasn’t feeling his best, but he’s a warrior.”

Jones finished with nine catches for 180 yards and two scores, which included a toe-dragging catch for a 5-yard touchdown with three seconds left in the first half, sending the Falcons to the locker room up 24-0.

“I didn’t practice that much throughout the week,” Jones said, “but today I came out and gave it all I had.”

Ryan sparked more delirious chants of “MVP! MVP! MVP!” as he carved up an injury-plagued Packers secondary AP photo that had no way of stopping a team Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan embraces Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers after the that averaged nearly 34 points a game NFC Championship Game on Sunday in Atlanta.

AFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME: PATRIOTS 36, STEELERS 17

They’re back: Brady, Pats win AFC crown

By BARRY WILNER

The Associated Press FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The Tom Brady redemption tour is headed to the Super Bowl.

After beginning the 2016 season suspended for four games for his role in the “Deflategate” scandal, the New England quarterback relentlessly carried the Patriots to an unprecedented ninth appearance in the title game, and his seventh.

Brady threw for a franchise playoff-best 384 yards and three touchdowns in a 36-17 rout of the helpless Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday in New England’s sixth consecutive AFC Championship Game.

The Patriots, who have won nine in a row, are early three-point favorites heading to face Atlanta in two weeks in HousAP photo ton, seeking their fifth NFL title with Brady Patriots running back LeGarrette Blount holds the AFC championship trophy at quarterback and Bill Belichick as coach. surrounded by fans after the AFC Championship Game on Sunday in Foxbor- Belichick’s seventh appearance in a Super Bowl will be a record for a head coach. ough, Mass. The Patriots beat Steelers, 36-17, to advance to Super Bowl LI.

Brady was banned by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell when New England (16-2) went 3-1 to open the schedule.

Since his return in Week 5, the only defeat came at home to Seattle.

He punctuated that in dreary weather similar to the 2014 conference title game that precipitated the deflated footballs investigation by flattening Pittsburgh’s secondary.

“This is my motivation right here, all these fellas in front of me, these guys,” Brady said, pointing to his teammates. “The boys showed up to play today.”

Brady’s main weapon was Chris Hogan.

The previously unheralded receiver found open spaces everywhere on the field against a leaky secondary. Hogan caught nine balls for 180 yards and two scores.

“It’s been a long journey, but I’ve worked really hard to get to this point,” said the Monmouth product. “I couldn’t be happier to get to be a part of this thing, this team – this whole thing.”

VIEWS Rick Morrissey

why do you have to go back to Sid Luckman, who played for the Bears from 1939 to 1950, to find a quarterback of that caliber in Chicago? You might as well go back to prehistoric times.

Rodgers makes everybody around him better. He turns average players into good players. The Bears count their injuries, and the Packers move on from them, or in the case of Nelson, play with them.

Running backs get hurt, and the Packers respond by moving a receiver into the backfield. And the kid averages 5.9 yards a carry in the regular season. The Packers lost five players during Sunday’s game. If that happened during a Bears game, coach John Fox would have asked for a moment of silence. Not that he would have been making excuses.

Good things do happen to the Bears, too, although not consistently. Go ahead and laugh at the Falcons for being playoff chokers historically, but with Ryan as a starter, they have gone 85-57 in the past nine years and made the playoffs five times. In the past 10 years, the Bears have been to the playoffs once. There’s no point in talking about their dead horse of a quarterback.

The bigger point is that the Bears do need to take a chance on a quarterback, whether through the draft with the third pick overall or through a trade, perhaps for Brady’s backup in New England, 25-year-old Jimmy Garoppolo. For those of you who insist there are no worthy quarterbacks in the 2017 draft, keep this in mind: Ryan was a high first-round pick, Rodgers was a late first-round pick, Roethlisberger was somewhere in between and Garoppolo, now the twinkle in many teams’ eyes, was a late second-rounder.

And we all know about Brady’s sixthround, rags-to-riches story.

No quarterback is guaranteed success in the NFL based on his college career.

Conversely, no one is a bust based solely on what he did in college or the combine.

That’s a long way of telling Bears fans that, rather than rooting hard against the archrival Packers, they might to start praying harder for Bears general manager Ryan Pace.

Marte killed in seperate accident

By DAVE SKRETTA

The Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Yordano Ventura quit school as a teenager so he could begin working a construction job to help his family make ends meet, laboring day after day in the hot sun of the Dominican Republic.

It was a chance tryout with the Kansas City Royals that changed the trajectory of his life.

Yordano wowed scouts with an electrifying fastball, the best they had seen in years, and a confident demeanor that bordered on brash and arrogant. And both of those traits served him well as he rocketed to the major leagues, helped the Royals Andy Marte win a long-awaited World Series championship in 2015, and became one of the most popular players in a city that embraced baseball one again.

Ventura, whose nickname “Ace” fit so perfectly, died Sunday in a car crash on a stretch of highway near the town of San Adrian in his native Dominican Republic. He was 25.

“Our team and our organization is hurting deeply,” Royals general manager Dayton Moore said. “It’s certainly something that puts everything into strong perspective, and challenges us all to never grow tired or weary or cease to do what is right, and loving others. Nobody is guaranteed tomorrow.

“We loved Yordano,” Moore said. “We loved his heart, we loved who he was as a teammate, a friend. He was somebody that challenged us all and made us better and I’m going to miss him.”

Highway patrol spokesman Jacobo Mateo said Ventura died on a stretch of highway 40 miles northwest of Santo Domingo, the nation’s capital. Mateo did not say whether Ventura was driv-

He’s the second young star pitcher to die in past four months.

Marlins ace Jose Fernandez was 24 when he was killed along with two other men in a boating accident near Miami Beach in late September.

Also Sunday, former major league infielder Andy Marte died in a separate car accident in the Dominican Republic. Metropolitan traffic authorities said he died about 95 miles north of the capital.

“I was traveling to the airport this morning and I got a phone call wanting to know if I’d heard about Yordano, and I thought they meant Marte,” Moore said.

“My first thought was, ‘Were they together?’

“Then shortly afterwards, I got a call from Major League Baseball confirming this tragedy.”

The Dominican Republic has the second-highest traffic-related death rate in the world – officials there believe alcohol, speed and a blatant disregard for traffic laws is to blame. Oscar Taveras, Jose Oliva, Rufino Linares and Jose Uribe are among players who have died in crashes in the country.

It wasn’t known whether Ventura had been drinking or speeding at the time of his accident.

• Monday, January 23, 2017

I’m guessing your standard-issue Bears fan saw Atlanta’s dismantling of Green Bay in the NFC Championship Game as proof of intelligent design. The hated Packers falling 44-21? Does it get any better than that?

Well, yeah, it actually does, but it would involve the Bears somehow turning into a reputable franchise, and the jury seems to have spoken on that issue over and over again.

Maybe you got your jollies watching the carnage Sunday, but any time I watch the Packers, no matter how bad they might look, I think about the Bears’ failings.

I see Aaron Rodgers, and I think about the Bears’ congenital problems at quarterback.

I see Jordy Nelson playing with two broken ribs, and I think about Alshon Jeffery’s inability to stay on the field for extended periods of time.

I see the Packers’ roster decimated by injuries, and I think about the Bears’ season-long boo-hooing about their own injuries.

I saw one team in the NFC title game, and all I could think about was how far another team was from that stage.

And just for good measure, for more delicious pain, let’s bemoan how far the Bears are behind the team that manhandled the Packers on Sunday. The Bears never have had the Falcons’ firepower. Never. Quarterback Matt Ryan and receivers Julio Jones and Mohamed Sanu. Running backs Devonta Freeman and Oak Forest’s Tevin Coleman. Did I mention Matt Ryan?

Coveting another team’s roster is no way for anyone to watch sports. It’s like driving a car and wishing, at every stoplight, that you had the car next to you.

Check that. It’s like always wishing you had the car in the next lane while jabbing a steak knife in your thigh. Or something like that.

Ryan was phenomenal during the regular season, leading the league with a 117.1 passer rating and 9.3 yards per pass attempt. He got a lot of help from offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan, which might explain why Shanahan is the leading candidate to get the 49ers’ head coaching job. Bears offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains seems worlds away from a top job right now.

The NFL’s final four only reinforced what everybody, possibly including the Bears, seems to know: If you have designs on getting anywhere, you might want to get yourself a great quarterback. Ryan, Rodgers, Tom Brady and Ben Roethlisberger. Duh, right? But if having a standout QB is so elementary, if it’s so obvious,

BLACKHAWKS 4, CANUCKS 2

Goalie records his 200th victory

BLACKHAWKS 4, CANUCKS 2 Vancouver Chicago

By BRIAN SANDALOW For the Sun-Times

AP photo

Canucks center Bo Horvat (left) scores past Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford in the third period Sunday the United Center. The Hawks won, 4-2.

Hall (275) and Ed Belfour (201) to reach that milestone.

“It’s pretty special,” Crawford said.

Since returning from his appendectomy, Crawford hadn’t been special. He entered Sunday with a mediocre .903 save percentage and didn’t look as sharp as Scott Darling. Because of that, nobody would have blamed the Hawks if they had given Darling the start against the Canucks to follow up the 30 saves he made Friday in Boston.

But instead of riding the hot hand, the Hawks went back to

Crawford, and he justified the choice. There was indeed some thought of staying with Darling, but coach Joel Quenneville had other ideas.

“That was definitely something we wanted to think. At the same time, we want Crow playing as much as he can to get back to that great pace he had prior to him being away,” Quenneville said. “But he hasn’t been bad.

But certainly that’s what we’re looking for him to get back to.

I like giving Darls some consideration. We’ll see, but certainly enhanced his positioning.”

Brian Campbell, who reached 500 career points with the assist, found an open Panik, whose shot hit the crossbar but trickled in. Kane then doubled the lead with 2:30 remaining in the period when Toews dislodged the puck. It bounced to Kane in the right circle and his shot beat Miller over his left shoulder, capping off a period in which the Hawks out-

BLACKHAWKS NOTES

Kruger ready to return, play wherever needed

By BRIAN SANDALOW For the Sun-Times

CHICAGO – Marcus Kruger is coming back soon, and he’s cool with wherever he’ll slot into the Blackhawks’ lineup.

Kruger, who’s been out since suffering a hand injury Dec. 30, practiced with his teammates before Sunday’s game against the Canucks.

Kruger didn’t play but could come back Tuesday or Thursday.

“Obviously, getting (him) out here with everybody is a good step,” coach Joel Quenneville said. “We’ll see how he is for Tuesday or Thursday, knowing that we’ve got that (all-star) break. We’ll see how he feels and what our options are.”

Kruger said the last hurdle he needs to clear before returning is dealing with contact, although he said he feels like he’s pretty close. But he might not

have the same spot in the lineup because of Tanner Kero’s emergence centering the third line.

Quenneville complimented Kero’s positioning and noted his consistency, which is high praise for a young player. And Kero could remain on the third line when Kruger returns.

“I don’t see too many things that would change his positioning because he really helped himself,” QuenMarcus Kruger neville said.

That would punt Kruger to his familiar fourth line, not that he minds.

“Whatever role they put me out there, I just want to get back in playing and help the team in whichever way I can,” Kruger said.

Waning rivalry? There still is something left in the Hawks-Canucks rival-

ry. Well, at least Patrick Kane thinks so.

From 2009 to 2011, the teams faced each other in three straight postseasons. There haven’t been any playoff meetings since, and the teams have gone in opposite directions. Kane, who was a central figure in the feud when it was at its hottest, noted the continued presence of Henrik and Daniel Sedin and Alexandre Burrows as something keeping the rivalry alive.

Now the rivalry has taken on a different tone.

“It’s turned into more of a respect rivalry, I guess, where you’re proud of the rivalry you had against them and know there’s players over there that you went to battle with,” Kane said.

No big deal: On Feb. 4, in an effort to increase scoring, the NHL will force goalies to use slimmer pants. Unlike some netminders, Scott Darling won’t

use them until he has to, and doesn’t think the change is a big deal.

“I think it is a big waste of time and money,” Darling said.

Kane doesn’t think it’ll matter much, either.

“I think you get that split-second to shoot at the net, you’re not going to notice any difference with the pants,” Kane said. “Nothing I’ve noticed yet.”

In brief: Sunday was the Hawks’ 400th consecutive United Center sellout, a run that began on March 30, 2008, and includes 338 in the regular season and 62 in the postseason. Colorado’s 487 consecutive sellouts from 1995 to 2006 are a league record. ...

Jeremy Roenick was honored with “One More Shift.” He was the third former Hawk to take part, joining Denis Savard and Steve Larmer. ... Michal Rozsival and Jordin Tootoo were scratched.

• Monday, January 23, 2017

CHICAGO – For the Blackhawks to get where they want, they’re going to need Corey Crawford to return to form. Sunday was only one game, but the goalie showed some encouraging signs.

And so did their captain.

Jonathan Toews had four points, including the winning goal with 1:18 left, Richard Panik, Patrick Kane and Marian Hossa also scored, and Crawford made 26 saves to lead the Hawks to a 4-2 win over the Vancouver Canucks.

The Hawks led, 2-0, after two periods, but allowed the Canucks to rally before Toews scored and then assisted on Hossa’s late empty-netter.

The Hawks won their third straight since dropping two in a row, and improved to 18-5-4 at home, continuing their strong play at the United Center.

They also saw Crawford recover from his recent woes and win his 200th game, joining Tony Esposito (418), Glenn

0 2

shot Vancouver, 18-9.

Vancouver cut the lead in half with 14:57 left in the game when Troy Stecher’s power-play shot got past a screened Crawford. The Canucks tied it 46 seconds later when Bo Horvat got past Michal Kempny, who was in the box for Stecher’s goal, and pushed his own rebound past Crawford.

The Hawks retook the lead when Panik’s shot rang off the back boards to Toews, who scored from the left circle to start their three-game homestand on a positive note. And, hopefully for the Hawks, jumpstart Toews’ production.

“I guess the goals I’ve scored lately are just getting those bounces from being at the right spot at the right time,” Toews said. “It was nice to get that one on my stick. I just keep telling [Ryan Hartman] and [Panik] just to keep shooting.”

The Hawks also would like to see Crawford continue what he showed Sunday. Quenneville said he made big saves in the first, was solid in the second and had “good responsive” saves in the third.

“I liked him around the net, as well, but he looked like he was in control,” Quenneville said.
