Good morning, McHenry County ...

Share your views on local races If you read our Opinions page regularly, you’ve likely noticed several letters to the editor in recent weeks promoting candidates in the upcoming consolidated municipal election.

Yes, there is another election coming April 4, even though some of us still feel like we’re trying to scrape off the filth from November’s presidential election.

Although the upcoming election doesn’t have the high profile of last year’s, it’s still vitally important because we will be choosing our local governmental leaders. Depending on where you live, McHenry County voters will have to choose between candidates running for mayor or village president, city councils or village boards, school boards, township offices and more.

Think your property taxes are too high? President Donald Trump isn’t going to be able to do anything about that. But your school board, city council and township board will.

As happens every election, our email inbox and post office box are starting to fill up with election-related letters. As a result, we are reducing the maximum word count for election-re-

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK Dan McCaleb

lated letters to 150. We cap nonelection-related letters at 250 words.

We have these word limits so we can publish as many of our readers’ opinions as possible, particularly before an important election such as this one. If we allowed an unlimited number of words, we just wouldn’t have the space in print to publish them all.

If you feel strongly about a particular candidate or race, please write us and we will share your view with our readers. Just make sure it’s accurate and the words are your own. And please keep it to 150 words or fewer.

TODAY’S TALKER

80-year-old accused of punching officer at Elizabeth Smart event The ASSOCIATED PRESS TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – An 80-year-old man is accused of punching a police officer who stopped him from approaching kidnapping survivor Elizabeth Smart with a knife at a book-signing event in Indiana.

Smart – who was 14 in 2002 when she was snatched from her bedroom in Salt Lake City and held for nine months – had been speaking about overcoming adversity at Indiana State University on Wednesday when the incident occurred.

ISU Police Chief Joseph Newport said Claude Hudson had been sitting in the front row during Smart’s presentation and was later spotted fiddling with a 3-inch pocket knife, using it to open a tea bag wrapping and “just acting so peculiar.”

Hudson then concealed the knife and started to walk up a line of about 100 people who were waiting to meet Smart and have books signed,

WHERE IT’S AT

Newport said. An officer stepped between Hudson and Smart, and the suspect hit the officer twice in his midsection, Newport said.

Hudson, of Terre Haute, Indiana, pleaded not guilty to a battery charge Wednesday.

Smart issued a statement through her representative Thursday, saying she “is grateful for law enforcement and Indiana State University’s quick response and that the event and her work continued undeterred.”

The police chief said Hudson is a frequent visitor to Indiana State University and that investigators have found no connection between Hudson and Smart.

A judge set Hudson’s bond at $25,000 bond and ordered a mental health evaluation. Hudson’s trial is scheduled for May 9. He is currently on parole for a burglary conviction.

Hudson’s public defender hasn’t responded to a request for comment. There was no answer at a phone listed for Hudson in Terre Haute.

U.S. Army sergeant surprises daughter in McHenry after return from overseas

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com McHENRY – It had been nearly a year since 6-year-old Elle Lane had seen her father, and Thursday she thought she would have to wait just one more day.

However, as she came out of the doors of Riverwood Elementary School in McHenry, Elle’s walk turned into a run Thursday when she saw her father standing in his U.S. Army uniform before she jumped into his arms.

“He’s staying here,” Elle said, giggling as her father held her.

Brent Lane, an Army sergeant, has been in Iraq and Kuwait since March, he said.

He had told Elle he would be coming home Friday, but her mother, Rebecca Angeles, came up with the idea for a surprise reunion a day early.

A handful of family members and friends stood outside the school holding American flags as they watched the homecoming.

“It’s hard,” Lane said of being away from his daughter. “I mean, with the communications we have nowadays, it makes it a little bit easier to where I can call on a

“Life is so precious, and it can be gone in a heartbeat as we learned.”

Did you ever have a parent or child who served overseas?

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A Wauconda man was sentenced to eight years in prison after he admitted to delivering a fatal dose of heroin to a Port Barrington man.

Rolando R. Aguilar, 28, pleaded guilty Thursday to a charge of drug-induced homicide, a Class X felony.

In addition to prison, he will serve three years of Rolando R. mandatory supervised Aguilar release. McHenry County Judge Sharon Prather accepted the plea agreement.

The felony charge is punishable by up to 30 years in prison. Aguilar will receive credit for time served in McHen-

father of Michael Marudecki, who died in a heroin overdose, writing in a victim impact statement ry County Jail since his Feb. 27, 2015, arrest. The case previously was set for a jury trial March 27.

Assistant State’s Attorney Randi Freese said that on Feb. 10, 2015, Aguilar delivered heroin to 28-year-old Michael Marudecki, who injected the drugs, which later caused his death.

Marudecki was found dead in the basement of his Port Barrington home,

where McHenry County Sheriff’s deputies searched the residence and found evidence consistent with a drug overdose, authorities have said.

Freese read a victim impact statement from Marudecki’s father, James Marudecki, who was unable to be in court Thursday. He wrote that his son was a family man, leaving behind a daughter and girlfriend who miss him very much. The loss of Michael Marudecki has left the family devastated, his father wrote.

“Life is so precious, and it can be gone in a heartbeat as we learned,” James Marudecki wrote.

Aguilar was on probation in Lake County when he picked up the felony charge in McHenry County. His probation in Lake County was revoked, and he was sentenced to an eight-year prison sentence that will run concurrently.

McHenry students charged after bomb threat, police say

Wauconda High School evacuated, searched NORTHWEST HERALD WAUCONDA – Two juvenile suspects were charged after a bomb threat Thursday at Wauconda High School, police said.

About 12:37 p.m., the high school received a bomb threat, which resulted in a precautionary hard lockdown and evacuation of the school, Wauconda Police Officer Heather Cognac said.

A full search of the school was conducted by K-9 units from the Lake County Sheriff’s Office and Great Lakes Naval Base, Cognac said. Nothing suspicious was found.

According to the school’s website, everyone was relocated to The Chapel, 25270 Route 60, Grayslake, where par-

ents were able to pick up their children.

During the investigation, a number of students were brought to the Wauconda Police Department for interviews.

Eventually, one juvenile was charged with disorderly conduct and released to a parent, while a second juvenile was charged with felony disorderly conduct and will be taken to the Lake County Juvenile Detention Center, police said.

Cognac said the two suspects are both students at McHenry West High School.

Wauconda Community Unit School District 118 Superintendent Daniel Coles said in a statement that it is “safe for students and staff to return to school [Friday].”

He was wearing a black baseball cap with a red rim and a green sweater, police said.

The driver was described as a 20-year-old white man with short, dark hair wearing a black baseball cap with a red rim.

• GROUNDHOG DAY

Continued from page A4

Check out video of Woodstock Willie’s prognostication Square just before sunrise to take part in the day’s fesat www.NWHerald.com. tivities. The event brings together people from north-

ern Illinois and elsewhere.

Legend has it that if Woodstock Willie sees his shadow Feb. 2, winter will last six more weeks. But if he doesn’t see his shadow, spring will come early.

Despite the “news” that six more weeks of winter are yet to come, the people who gathered to watch the local tradition seemed to enjoy themselves. Minutes before Willie was set to emerge, residents and visitors sang Groundhog Day-themed songs in anticipation of his appearance.

Marc Kleinfelter of Maple Park brought his five young children to the event for the first time. Kleinfelter said he came out to Woodstock while he was in college to see a few scenes of “Groundhog Day” being filmed.

“I just wanted to be able to show the kids some of what I saw then,” he said.

Deb Fulton of Barrington Hills also attended for the first time, donning a Groundhog-like hat she bought at Walt Disney World.

“They have such a wonderful celebration each year,” Fulton said.

Woodstock Willie wasn’t the only one to see his shadow, as his pal, Punxsutawney Phil, saw the same in Pennsylvania.

Woodstock’s annual Groundhog Days celebration, commemorating the 25th anniversary of the film, will continue with events throughout the weekend that include a pub crawl, free screenings of the Harold Ramis-directed movie, a chili cook-off, the Blue Jeans & Black Tie District 200 Groundhog Dinner/Auction and walking tours of the film sites, among others.

Angeles said Elle is used to seeing her father, who lives in Machesney Park, on a regular basis, and was experiencing some separation anxiety with him gone. Elle’s first-grade teacher said Elle had written in a school journal that she was happy it was February

because that’s when her dad was coming home, Angeles said.

Elle had been counting down the days to her father’s return, and she even asked her mother if she could take off school Friday to see him.

Janice Lane, Brent Lane’s mother, said her son is a “super dad” who is hardworking and family-oriented.

“I was just so proud of both of them, just to see them get to see each other after all this time,” Janice Lane said.

Stranded by flat tire, Marta Becket made the desert dance The Associated Press

Becket and her husband rented the building, and Marta Becket made her debut in 1968 at the renamed Amargosa Opera House. In the beginning, her only patrons were the three Mormon families who lived in the isolated town.

The nearest town is 23 miles away from the opera house, but audiences filled its 114 theater seats so many times over the years that extra chairs sometimes had to be brought in.

“It was the spirit of the pieces that I think was so moving in her work, and I think that had a lot to do with where it was and how you discovered it,” Kavouras said.

Becket wrote songs, dialogue, sewed costumes and painted sets. She danced every Monday, Friday and Saturday whether the house was full or empty – as if thousands were watching.

She spent six years drawing and painted imaginary fans on the opera house’s walls and painted the ceiling with a blue sky, dancing cherubs, clouds and doves.

“I love dance. I love ballet.

It’s the world I want,” she told The Associated Press 2001. “It’s

CARSON CITY, Nevada – A ballerina who drew audiences from around the world to an abandoned Mojave Desert stage she adopted after being stranded there by a flat tire in 1967 has died at age 92.

Marta Becket was stranded near the ghost town about 95 miles west of Las Vegas and said she felt destined to revive it.

With one glimpse inside an abandoned social hall there, Becket saw the other half of her life, she told The Associated Press in 2001. A native New Yorker who had performed on Broadway and at Radio City Music Hall, Becket moved West to renovate the dilapidated building that’s now an artistic sanctuary known as the Amargosa Opera House.

Louis Kavouras described Becket’s shows as vaudevillian, an assemblage of brief dramatic and comedic pieces, but always with a strange and contemporary twist. Kavouras, chairman of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas Department

of Dance, said Becket’s art never failed to surprise him.

He was mystified when he saw Becket in 1992, then in her late 60s, rise to her toes and float across the stage in a difficult, shuffling ballet move known as a pas de bourrée.

“It was magic,” Kavouras said, “like the hot desert wind flowing across the desert sand.”

She continued flitting across the stage in her iconic performances well into her 80s, although health problems slowed her in later years. She gave a final performance in February 2012, before turning the theater over to a nonprofit group.

Tom Walker, a city councilman in North Cowichan, British Columbia, said he and his wife stumbled upon Becket’s act about 15 years ago during a winter RV trip. He described Becket as a kind, memorable woman, then in her 70s, who talked with him and his wife for 45 minutes after the show and performed for them again on pointe.

“She said at the time she was probably the oldest person who could still do that in her ballet slippers,” Walker said.

Lawmakers draft plans to keep paying workers

By KIANNAH SEPEDA–MILLER The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Two Illinois lawmakers have introduced legislation to ensure that state employees continue receiving paychecks even if a judge agrees with the state attorney general’s argument that their pay should be halted during the budget impasse.

Republican Rep. Avery Bourne of Raymond and Democratic Rep. Sue Scherer of Decatur introduced separate measures Wednesday that would keep paychecks flowing in response to a motion filed by Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan last week. Madigan asked a judge to reverse a previous court’s ruling that found withholding paychecks violates a provision in the Illinois Constitution requiring all contractual agreements to be honored.

Madigan argued that the court ruling had contributed to prolonging the nearly two-year impasse.

Bourne said her measure is necessary to keep state workers out of the fray as the budget negotiations grind on between Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and Democratic legislative leaders.

“We wanted to make sure that state employees are not put in the middle of

Illinois sees mild January, temps 5 degrees above normal

CHAMPAIGN – Illinois state climate experts said the temperature during January was 5 degrees above normal and the state recorded its 14th-warmest January on record.

Jim Angel is the Illinois state climatologist with the University of Illinois’ State Water Survey. Angel said the statewide average temperature during January was 31.4 degrees. The water survey said above-normal temperatures during January spanned the entire state of Illinois and snowfall during the month almost was nonexistent.

Less than an inch of snow fell in many locations, which the water survey said was “well below normal statewide.”

The Republican and Democratic measures would approach the payments differently. Bourne’s proposal would obligate Illinois to pay state workers at current levels regardless of whether the General Assembly appropriates funds while Scherer’s would

Parents face manslaughter charge in infant son’s death

NEW DOUGLAS – Authorities have charged an Illinois couple with involuntary manslaughter after their infant son was found lifeless in their crowded, trash-filled home.

The Belleville News-Democrat reported that authorities believe the 2-month-old suffocated Tuesday after being trapped under a car seat.

Amy and Timothy Elkins Jr. each face one charge of involuntary manslaughter, one charge of felony child endangerment and nine counts of misdemeanor child endangerment. It was not immediately clear if they are represented by an attorney who could speak on their behalf.

Madison County Sheriff John Lakin said the family lived in “absolutely horrific” conditions that appalled seasoned officers.

Cook Co. to put more than 4K vacant properties up for sale

CHICAGO – More than 4,000 vacant Cook County properties are being put up for sale as part of an effort to improve distressed communities.

The Cook County Land Bank Authority said the 4,437 tax-delinquent parcels represent the largest one-time release of real estate in county history.

The properties are located in areas of Chicago and suburban Cook County that were hard hit by the foreclosure crisis or the decline in manufacturing. Many have been vacant for five to 10 years, creating blight in neighborhoods.

Community-based developers, homeowners, block clubs and nonprofit organizations might buy the parcels and transform them into community gardens, play lots or basketball courts.

Cook County formed the land bank in 2013. Commissioner Bridget Gainer said this week’s action will contribute to “a rust belt reboot.”

fice is reviewing both House proposals and appreciates that lawmakers are “working on solutions.”

Some critics have argued that the attorney general’s move could give Democrats – including Madigan’s father, House Speaker Michael Madigan – the upper hand in budget negotiations by putting pressure on the governor to avoid a government shutdown. But Speaker Madigan’s spokesman, Steve Brown, called Scherer’s bill a “precaution” in case the attorney general’s motion is approved by the judge.

The measures could raise questions about priorities if legislators approve pay for state workers while not addressing social service providers’ needs in the absence of a budget. But Scherer said her legislation indirectly benefits providers, too, because state workers are charged with processing the funding those organizations are receiving.

Illinois Partners for Human Service CEO Judith Gethner said lawmakers need to urgently address everyone’s needs, but that a government shutdown could severely impact providers’ abilities to perform their duties too.

“We should all get paid,” she said.

“It’s about doing the right thing for all of us.”

Philadelphia group helping investigate Illinois cold case

TINLEY PARK – Nine years after the fatal shooting of five women in a southwest suburb of Chicago, police are getting help from a Philadelphia-based group that aids law enforcement working to solve cold-case homicides.

In October, two Tinley Park detectives presented evidence in the Feb. 2, 2008, incident to members of the Vidocq Society, a nonprofit comprised of criminal and forensic investigators. Village officials said in a statement Monday that the group’s members reviewed the case.

“It’s a fresh set of eyes on a very daunting and complicated case,” Tinley Park Police Chief Steve Neubauer said.

He said the society doesn’t agree to hear every case that is presented for consideration, and that the department had to request to be placed on the group’s docket.

Police have investigated more than 7,000 tips in the case, and a reward of $100,000 has yet to produce a lead that will bring resolution to the slayings, which occurred at a Lane Bryant clothing store.

WASHINGTON – Declaring that religious freedom is “under threat,” President Donald Trump vowed Thursday to repeal a rarely enforced IRS rule that says pastors who endorse candidates from the pulpit risk losing their tax-exempt status.

“I will get rid of and totally destroy the Johnson Amendment and allow our representatives of faith to speak freely and without fear of retribution,” Trump said at the National Prayer Breakfast, a high-profile event bringing together faith leaders, politicians and dignitaries.

Trump’s pledge was a nod to his evangelical Christian supporters, who helped power his White House win. So far he has not detailed his plans for doing away with the rule, which he has previously promised to rescind.

Cabinet tries to soften tone Trump has set

By JOSH LEDERMAN and VIVIAN SALAMA The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Donald Trump’s spats with U.S. allies as close as Mexico and as unlikely as Australia are leaving his new secretary of state and others in his Cabinet to clean up a lot of potential damage.

It’s a good-cop, bad-cop dynamic that could define America’s foreign policy for the next four years.

President Trump’s first two weeks on the job have rattled foreign friends and foes alike – and even members of his own party – starting with his order to temporarily halt all refugee admissions as well as immigration from seven mainly-Muslim countries. Concern only escalated the past few days with his personal dust-ups with foreign leaders and declaration that Iran is now “on notice” for possible American action.

“It’s time we’re going to be a little tough, folks,” Trump said at a National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday, as unseemly details circulated about his private phone calls with the Mexican and Australian leaders.

“We’re taken advantage of by every nation in the world virtually. It’s not going to happen anymore.”

Trump’s blunt comments came a day after word emerged of a tense discussion with Australian Prime Minister Malcom Turnbull, in which the new U.S. president lambasted an Obama-era deal to resettle some 1,600 asylum-seekers.

Diplomatic dysfunction was clear. Minutes after the U.S. Embassy in Canberra said the deal was still on, Trump seemed to contradict that message, tweeting: “I will study this dumb deal!”

On the other side of the globe, new details emerged about strained ties between the U.S. and its southern neighbor.

There was already irritation on both sides after Mexican President Enrique Pena Ni-

In a follow-up phone call, Trump warned Pena Nieto that he was ready to send U.S. troops to stop “bad hombres down there” if Mexico’s military can’t control them, The Associated Press learned. The White House said the comments were made in a “lighthearted” manner. But administration officials described the calls with both leaders as contentious. Some top aides are underscoring Trump’s emphasis on toughness and brawnier U.S. negotiations, dominant themes of his “America First” foreign policy.

At the United Nations, Trump’s U.N. ambassador, Nikki Haley, said the U.S. would be “taking names” of countries that “don’t have our back.” His national security adviser, Michael Flynn, made a surprising appearance at the White House daily briefing to “officially” put Iran “on notice” after its ballistic missile test. Trump topped Flynn on Thursday by saying “nothing is off the table” when it comes to a potential American response. But Trump’s top diplomats are striking noticeably softer tones.

Rex Tillerson, in his first day

as secretary of state, implicitly acknowledged in an address to staff that many U.S. diplomats oppose some of Trump’s positions. Without criticizing that, he called for unity.

“Honesty will undergird our foreign policy, and we’ll start by making it the basis of how we interact with each other,” Tillerson said. “We are human beings first.”

The former Exxon Mobil CEO offered an olive branch to hundreds of diplomats who signed a “dissent cable” challenging Trump’s order on immigration and refugees, affirming that “each of us is entitled to the expression of our political beliefs.” While noting the nation’s “hotly contested” election campaign, Tillerson stressed that “we cannot let out personal convictions overwhelm our ability to work as one team.”

Defense Secretary Jim Mattis sought to project the same sentiment internationally in South Korea on Thursday, in his first official trip abroad. He said the president’s message was “about the priority that we place on this alliance between our two nations,” seeking to reassure an ally that was unnerved by Trump the candidate when he said it should take on greater self-defense responsibility.

Berkeley chaos spurs free-speech questions

By JOCELYN GECKER and PAUL ELIAS The Associated Press

BERKELEY, Calif. – Chaos that erupted at the University of California, Berkeley, to oppose right-wing provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos was shocking not just for the images of protesters setting fires, smashing windows and hurling explosives at police, but because of where it took place.

UC Berkeley is the birthplace of the free-speech movement and has been known for more than a half-century as a bastion of tolerance. As the university cleaned up Thursday, it struggled with questions of why the violence spun out of control and what has happened to the open-minded Berkeley of the 1960s.

“It was not a proud night for this campus,” school spokesman Dan Mogulof said, later adding, “We are proud of our history and legacy as the home of the free-speech movement.”

The school prides itself on its liberalism and political correctness, but many on campus pointed to the irony of the historical fight for free speech turning into a suppression of unpopular views today.

The mayhem achieved its goal of canceling an appearance by Yiannopoulos, a vocal supporter of President Donald Trump and a self-proclaimed internet troll whose comments have been criticized as racist, misogynist and anti-Muslim.

“Berkeley has always stood for self-expression,” said Russell Ude, a 20-year-old football player. “Things like this discredit peaceful protest.”

Philosophy professor John Searle, a leader of the free-speech movement and professor since 1959, called the cancellation “an absolute scandal.” He said most of what Yiannoupolos professes is

“disgusting” but that he’s entitled to be heard.

“Free speech has to be allowed for everyone,” Searle said.

School officials said they knew of the potential for unrest and went to “extraordinary lengths” to prepare. Other stops on the Breitbart News editor’s college tour have stirred protests and sporadic violence.

But Berkeley authorities said they believe the instigators were not students and what unfolded was “unprecedented.”

Police from other camMilo Yiannopoulos puses helped UC Berkeley as it shut down the building where Yiannopoulos was scheduled to speak and erected barricades.

Yiannopoulos told Fox News’ Tucker Carlson on Thursday that police did not seem to do much and that he was whisked away by car after putting on a bulletproof vest.

“This is political violence in response to perfectly mainstream opinions,” he said.

Peaceful protests grew to a crowd of more than 1,500, police estimated, before “more than 100 armed individuals clad in ninja-like uniforms” showed up. They hurled fireworks, Molotov cocktails and rocks at officers, UC Berkeley Police Chief Margo Bennett said.

She said officers “exercised tremendous restraint” to protect a crowd filled with students. No arrests were made and no major injuries were reported, a change from some high-profile protests at Berkeley decades ago.

Police did not advance on the crowd as they used barricades to bash windows and set fire to a kerosene generator, sparking a blaze that burned for more than an hour.

SPRING STYLES ARE STARTING TO ARRIVE!

• Friday, February 3, 2017 *

WASHINGTON – The U.S. military said Thursday it is investigating last weekend’s raid by U.S. special operations forces in Yemen and that innocent civilians, including children, were apparently killed.

U.S. Central Command said civilians may have been hit by gunfire from aircraft called in to assist U.S. troops, who were engaged in a ferocious firefight with militants from al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, the group’s Yemen affiliate.

The military said the civilians may not have been visible to the U.S. forces because they were mixed in with combatants in the compound who were firing at U.S. troops “from all sides to include houses and other buildings.”

The Pentagon disputed published reports that the operation was compromised and that U.S. troops lost the element of surprise in the assault on the compound.

“We have no information to suggest that this was compromised,” said Navy Capt. Jeff Davis, a Pentagon spokesman, saying the accounts do not “match with reality.”

He said the U.S. special operations forces conducted the raid to get valuable

Yemen in 2011.

The grandfather said Anwaar was visiting her mother when the raid took place, and was shot in the neck and bled to death. The Pentagon hasn’t confirmed the young al-Awlaki was killed in Sunday’s raid.

“Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula has a horrifying history of hiding women and children within militant operating areas and terrorist camps, and continuously shows a callous disregard for innocent lives,” said Col. John J. Thomas, U.S. Central Command spokesman.

Navy SEAL William “Ryan” Owens was killed in the assault, and three other U.S. service members were wounded.

Another three U.S. forces were wounded in the “hard landing” of an MV-22 Osprey aircraft at a staging area for the mission.

According to Central Command, the firefight included small arms fire, hand grenades and close air support fire.

Davis said earlier this week that an unspecified number of women were part of the group of combatants battling the U.S. forces, and some were among the 14 killed in the firefight.

Planning for the clandestine counterterrorism raid began before President Barack Obama left office Jan. 20, but President Donald Trump authorized the raid.

BUSINESS Amazon increasingly wants to be its own deliveryman

By MAE ANDERSON

E-commerce explosion

The Associated Press

NEW YORK – Amazon isn’t content just being the “everything store.” Increasingly, it looks like it wants to be its own deliveryman, too.

Its Monday announcement of a new air cargo hub in Kentucky is merely Amazon’s latest foray into building out its own shipping and logistics unit. If successful, the move could ultimately mean lower costs for Amazon – and possibly faster delivery and low prices for consumers. But it also could pit Amazon against package deliverers such as FedEx and UPS. Amazon has long plowed its profits back into its business investments. In order to speed up its delivery, it has invested in opening new distribution centers and leasing fleets of trucks. In May, Amazon leased 40 Boeing jets from Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings and Air Transport Services Group Inc., a fleet it dubbed “Prime Air.” The moves comes as e-commerce continues to outpace retail sales. Amazon said Thursday the number of items it sold in the fourth quarter rose 24 percent compared with a year ago. Its revenue rose 22 percent to $43.74 billion, slightly missing analyst expectations.

Meanwhile, profit rose 36 percent to $749 million, or $1.54 a share, ahead of expectations.

If Amazon succeeds in building out its delivery infrastructure, it could ultimately reduce package volume for companies such as FedEx and UPS, Roberson said. On the other hand, e-commerce volume is growing so fast there may be room for everyone, she said.

For example, UPS reported Monday that 55 percent of its fourth-quarter deliveries – and 63 percent of those in December – were directly to consumers, setting records in both cases.

The rub

Amazon.com boxes are shown stacked near a Boeing 767 Amazon “Prime Air” cargo plane on display Aug. 4 in a Boeing hangar in Seattle. Amazon’s announcement Monday of a new air cargo hub in Kentucky is the latest way the e-commerce retailer is dipping its toe, or perhaps whole foot, into building out its shipping and logistics unit. If successful, the move ultimately means lower costs for Amazon, but it could eventually pit Amazon against package deliverers such as FedEx and UPS.

Kentucky airport about 13 miles southwest of Cincinnati. The nearly $1.5 billion investment is expected to create 2,700 jobs.

It’s an auspicious location, since UPS has a big air hub in Louisville and DHL has an international shipping hub Next step at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky InOn Monday, Amazon took the next ternational Airport. Amazon has long step, announcing plans to build a batted down rumors that it plans to worldwide air cargo hub at a northern start its own package delivery service,

saying it’s just trying to speed up deliveries and lower costs. The company insists it will continue working with the U.S. Post Office, UPS, FedEx and other carriers to deliver packages.

“It’s not a big surprise,” Cathy Roberson, founder of consulting firm Logistics Trends & Insights, said of Amazon’s Kentucky announcement. “By utilizing that location, they can reach anywhere in the U.S. in two days.”

It’s no sure bet that Amazon will succeed in the highly competitive and complex delivery space.

“It’s hard to scale up, to have a network as built out and mature as FedEx, UPS or DHL,” Roberson said. “Amazon is still not mature.” To really go up against that big three, she said, Amazon will have to invest “an awful lot of money in networks and more facilities” – at least double what it’s already spending, she estimates.

Still, Amazon has a history of developing services for its own use and then offering them to other customers.

It built Amazon Web Services, its cloud computing business, for its own purposes; that service now generates annual revenue of more than $12 billion.

“You could see a scenario in the future where they perfected their delivery network and become a carrier for other retailers,” said Rob Convey, CEO of Convey, a company specializing in improving retailer shipment delivery.

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 2017

Matthew McConaughey said it’s time for Hollywood to “embrace and shake hands” with the fact that Donald Trump is president.

The Oscar winner told the BBC that Trump’s rise to power is “as divisive of an inauguration” as there has ever been. When asked by interviewer Andrew Marr if Hollywood’s elite should give Trump a break, McConaughey replied, “They don’t have a choice now, he’s our president.”

McConaughey is promoting his new film, “Gold,” in which he plays a businessman who discovers the precious metal in the jungles of Indonesia.

Lady Gaga answers questions Thursday at a news conference for NFL Super Bowl 51 in Houston.

Lady Gaga says Super Bowl halftime show is ‘for everyone’ HOUSTON – Lady Gaga said she hopes her Super Bowl halftime show will celebrate “inclusion” and the “spirit of equality” during a time of national division.

“This performance is for everyone. I want to, more than anything, create a moment that everyone that’s watching will never forget,” she said at a news conference Thursday in Houston.

Gaga wouldn’t reveal what songs she would sing, how many costumes she’ll wear or any staging details, but promised a “tremendously athletic” show and no reappearance of her infamous meat dress.

She also said there wouldn’t be any wardrobe malfunctions – such as Janet Jackson’s infamous moment when she performed at the last Super Bowl held in Houston in 2004.

When Gaga debuted in 2008, her sound was a mix of electronic, dance and pop sounds, including the hits “Poker Face” and “Just Dance.” Her latest album, however, “Joanne,” delves into country and acoustic rock territory, and she said she plans to perform songs from her entire catalog.

The 30-year-old singer, who sang the national anthem at last year’s Super Bowl, was nominated for the best original song Oscar last year and won a Golden Globe for her role on the FX series “American Horror Story.”

The performance at the NRG Stadium also will feature Tony Bennett, who Gaga called a “tremendously wise man.” Gaga and Bennett, 90, recorded the 2014 album of duets, “Cheek to Cheek,” which won a Grammy – the sixth for Gaga. They also launched a successful tour.

In addition to Gaga, three original cast members of the Tony Award-winning Broadway hit “Hamilton” will sing “America the Beautiful” during pregame festivities, and Luke Bryan will perform the national anthem.

NEW YORK – Top Grammy contenders Sturgill Simpson and Chance the Rapper are set to perform at the awards show this month.

The Recording Academy announced Thursday that fellow nominee William Bell and Grammy winners Little Big Town and Gary Clark Jr. also will perform on the live telecast Feb. 12.

Previously announced performers include Adele, Bruno Mars, the Weeknd, Daft Punk, A Tribe Called Quest, Alicia Keys and Dave Grohl.

Simpson is nominated for album of the year and best country album for “A Sailor’s Guide to Earth.” Chance the Rapper is nominated for seven awards, including three for best rap song.

Vee’s children claim siblings are mishandling estate ST. CLOUD, Minn. – Two of Bobby Vee’s four children have filed a court petition claiming their siblings are misusing money from the late pop singer’s estate.

Robby Velline and Jennifer Whittet Velline claim in the Stearns County District Court petition that their brothers, Tommy and Jeff Velline, have spent money from the estate on themselves and to support Rockhouse Productions, a recording studio and production facility they run. It was established by Bobby and his wife, Karen, who also is deceased.

The petition asks a Stearns County judge to order Jeff and Tommy Velline to provide a report of Bobby Vee’s estate, income and

retirement accounts, including any revenue generated by the play “Teen Idol: The Bobby Vee Story.” It also seeks to remove Jeff and Tommy as trustees of the trust and accuses them of breaching their loyalty to the estate.

Tommy and Jeff Velline have filed a counter petition that says their actions had the approval of their parents, the St. Cloud Times reported.

TV’s Oxygen network to focus on crime stories

NEW YORK – The Oxygen TV network is looking behind bars for inspiration.

The NBC Universal-owned network said Wednesday that starting this summer, it will focus its programming on crime stories that appeal to women, joining an already crowded TV genre.

Its other programming, such as “Bad Girls Club” and “Battle of the Ex-Besties,” will be phased out.

Oxygen’s saga speaks to the survival pressures faced by many cable networks.

NBC Universal recently decided to shutter its Esquire network and make it digital-only.

When Oxygen’s launch was announced in 1998 with prominent backers that included Oprah Winfrey, the goal was to make it a general interest network for women to compete with Lifetime, only hipper.

The change won’t be completely abrupt.

Oxygen has seen success during the past year with a prime-time block of crime-oriented programming on three nights, recently increasing it to four. That helped Oxygen to a 42 percent increase in viewers during the last three months of 2016 compared with the same period a year earlier, the Nielsen company said.

ANOTHER VIEW

Questions for Judge Gorsuch President Donald Trump’s nomination of Judge Neil Gorsuch for the Supreme Court elicited an immediate, furious and depressingly predictable reaction. Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., called him an ideologue in a tweet sent shortly after Trump made his announcement, and liberal senators such as Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, and Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., announced they would oppose the nomination not long after that. Conservative activist groups, meanwhile, vowed to go on an electionyear-style campaign to advance Gorsuch’s nomination.

The politicization of the judiciary, in other words, continues apace.

We do not blame Democrats for feeling sore about how the GOP Senate last year froze out Judge Merrick Garland, President Barack Obama’s nominee for the seat Gorsuch would take. Yet many Republicans at least based their opposition on a procedural argument – that the president should not fill Supreme Court seats that come vacant during election years – and refrained from tarring Garland personally. If Democrats want to retaliate against Republicans for their cynical power play, they should be upfront about that motivation. If they end up voting against Gorsuch because they think he would rule one way or another on a hot-button issue, such as overturning Roe v. Wade, they should be clear about that, too.

But trashing Gorsuch as an outlandish radical, despite his impeccable credentials, the wide respect he commands in his field, his long service as an appeals court judge and the unanimous voice vote he received the last time the Senate considered him for the federal bench, is at the very least premature.

The question, then, is what Gorsuch should be asked about during his confirmation hearings. As with many other Supreme Court nominees before him, the judge will no doubt be loath to discuss specific cases and take stands on issues the court is likely to hear, a defensible position that promotes judicial independence and the appearance of impartiality. Senators should nevertheless demand that Gorsuch describe his views on when it is appropriate to overturn standing court precedent.

Senators should probe Gorsuch’s “originalist” legal philosophy, asking him what happens when history and legal text do not offer clear guidance.

They should ask Gorsuch about handling cases in which general laws conflict with individuals’ religious practices, given his previous rulings on Obamacare’s contraception mandate. They should insist he explain when courts should defer to the executive branch in interpreting the law. He appears to have views that, if acted upon, would significantly expand court power to quash executive actions.

Senators should also ask Gorsuch about his selection process. Did he make any private commitments to Trump or his staff? Was he asked to?

The process of filling Antonin Scalia’s Supreme Court seat has already been unreasonable enough. Making it more so would hurt all sides in the long run.

ANOTHER VIEW

Trump can’t let ‘America First’ mean America alone

On his first official foreign trip, Secretary of Defense James Mattis is going to the continent that presents the White House with one of its most immediate and one of its most long-term challenges. North Korea is racing to develop a working nuclear-tipped ICBM, while China is growing as a regional hegemon and global rival.

Both issues will require close cooperation with the U.S.’s longstanding allies in Japan and South Korea, where Mattis will be visiting. President Donald Trump’s main response, however, has been to vaguely threaten China and promise to invest additional billions to expand the U.S. military. Neither is an adequate response.

No matter how much Trump tweets, China isn’t going to press sanctions that might fatally undermine the regime in Pyongyang and

result in a unified, U.S.-allied Korea on its doorstep. Nor are Chinese leaders going to cave in to trade threats or negotiate over Taiwan. Meanwhile, it’ll take years to build all the new submarines and battleships Trump is promising. And in any case, while U.S. allies favor a stout American presence in the region, they have no appetite for military action.

The most effective way to strengthen the U.S. position in Asia is by doing exactly what Mattis is doing: cultivating and reassuring allies. It’s encouraging that he reportedly doesn’t plan to question the contributions that South Korea and Japan make to support U.S. troops in their countries, as Trump has done repeatedly.

Collaboration among all three allies is key: Any effort to contain North Korea will be much more effective if they can coordinate their missile-defense

networks and present a unified front to Pyongyang.

Mattis’s trip should be only the first of many. It will be critical for diplomats, Cabinet members and Trump himself to reassure Asian allies and rally them to a coherent policy. The U.S. will need to work harder to encourage greater military cooperation in the region. And Trump can (somewhat) mitigate his ill-considered decision to withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership by pressing bilateral trade deals, in particular with Japan.

Trump claims to have the same priorities abroad as he does at home: to make the U.S. stronger and safer. But he won’t succeed – especially not in Asia – if “America First” means, as it once did, America alone.

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

Partisan politics

To the Editor: Everyone knows that high property taxes are the biggest issue facing McHenry County taxpayers. Unfortunately, many of our local governments continue to raise tax levies even when our home values stagnate or decline.

The McHenry County Board recently had the opportunity to allow the taxpayers to vote on whether local governments should be allowed to raise property taxes without a referendum, but the Republican obstructionist caucus, led by Vice Chairman Jeff Thorson and double-dipping candidates Mike Walkup, Andrew Gasser and Mike Rein, orchestrated a defeat of the tax advisory referendum.

All of these men had campaigned on property tax relief, but when it was time to vote for it, they instead played partisan politics and killed it, because the idea was from a Democrat. These

same four partisan obstructionists also orchestrated the removal of the most qualified individual for an important committee chairmanship solely because that individual is a Democrat.

Please be sure to let these four partisans know how much you appreciate their efforts to keep our property taxes high. Let them know how happy we are that they taught those awful Democrats a lesson and that we will gladly continue to pay among the highest property taxes in the country for the small price of refusing to work with Democrats. To these obstructionists, that’s all that matters.

We the people suffer and flee McHenry County while they play partisan politics. They should be ashamed, as we should, for electing them.

Why oppose Fiduciary Rule?

To the Editor: Many Americans seeking professional advice about their money are at risk of becoming easy prey by “advisers” who aren’t there to protect and help.

They’re sales people steering us into their products, not what’s best for us.

The Department of Labor is imposing a Fiduciary Rule to ensure money advice is untainted and in our best interests, not a disguised sales pitch.

Thank you from all of us seniors. It begins to take effect this April but, now I read, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is trying to stop this rule. I don’t understand why they would oppose such a simple and helpful protection.

I can’t believe our local chambers of commerce oppose this rule and if so, why?

To the Editor: After a 98 years, Ringling Brothers’ “Greatest Show on Earth” is ending.

Never fear, McHenry County residents, there’s a circus in town, and the ringleader is County Board Chairman Jack Franks.

The Jan. 17, 7 p.m. County Board meeting was a tiresome, 4+ hour spectacle of unprofessionalism from Franks at the kick off. The meeting started 10 minutes late, disrespecting all those in attendance. Many residents were forced to stand the entire meeting because extra space was not opened

up to accommodate residents.

It took until 8:38 for the board to adopt the agenda. Board members were awestruck when Franks introduced his parliamentarian, the hiring or costs of which were never relayed to or approved by the board. This hiring was in addition to two former campaign workers Franks hired as personal staff prior to revealing either position to the public or board members.

Throughout the night, Franks repeatedly made snide remarks about an earlier vote that didn’t go as Franks wanted. Franks also could not resist but to continually rebuff board members; both during and at the conclusion of members’ comments. Do these demonstrations inject the prestige of the office into everyday dealings with the public, employees, and associates?

Some said Franks would bring the Chicago political machine and Springfield politics to McHenry County. If you want to see it in action, no ticket needed for the main event. I hope you enjoy the show.

No replacement plan

To the Editor: My Congressman recently sent out a newsletter indicating his plans for repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act. When I clicked on the link he provided, there was no plan offered, no details, no outline, nothing.

So I sent him a letter expressing my concern and urging him not to repeal without a plan to replace. His response: “Congress recently voted on a budget tool to begin the process of repealing and replacing the ACA with more affordable and accessible health insurance coverage for Americans.”

But once again, no concrete plans, details, outlines for the replacement, just platitudes and vague suggestions.

or voted for has called for revamping health care policy. It’s not a new idea.

The Republican Party, and my congressman, voted to repeal all or parts of the ACA more than 50 times. But after six years in office, all the votes and rhetoric claiming the ACA is terrible, how can it be that you, Congressman Randy Hultgren, still have no replacement plan?

County Board members disgraceful

To the Editor: The McHenry County Board should really be ashamed. As a mother of a developmentally disabled son, the idea that board members are refusing to use new electronic voting software and procedures, required to make our County Board compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act, simply to try to show Jack Franks up, is disgraceful.

And that’s not the only reason I use the word.

Members stated they simply want it to be as it has always been on the board, with a voice roll call. That way, they can switch their vote if they think their choice could be unpopular among their cronies after they see how the other members voted. This is how they thought they’d get away with scuttling Franks’ plan to hold a tax freeze referendum.

They should know that we, taxpayers and voters, are aware of what they did, and understand that since they can’t even adjust on behalf of and empathize with people with disabilities, they clearly aren’t ready to make hard choices that things like property tax relief require. They should also know we will be bearing that in mind the next time they are up for re-election.

To the Editor: Options & Advocacy provides services and support to children and adults with developmental delays and disabilities. We see families who struggle with new and sometimes difficult diagnoses. We see children and young adults who struggle in school and social situations. Sometimes we see heartbreak, but many more times we see joy. We see people who have full lives and families who surround their children and family members with love and support. We also see the best of McHenry County.

In December, we saw an amazing outpouring of love from St. Mary’s Church in Huntley, whose congregation very generously bought gifts for many of our most economically challenged families. We saw Centegra staff members buy gifts for families who would not otherwise be able to make Christmas happen for their children. We made a new friend in Rich Walkowiak from JA Frate, who miraculously got us the semi-truck that we filled with gifts.

We had volunteers from Jacobs High School who gave up a Saturday to load and unload nearly 200 heavy bags of gifts. We thank them all.

Not ‘that guy’

Andy Boyle turns humor into advice for 20-somethings

By LEANNE ITALIE

A

The Associated Press

ndy Boyle isn’t a parent. He isn’t a child development researcher or a psychologist or any kind of expert, really. But he’s darn funny, and he’s written an advice book aimed at young people that just might do them some good while providing a laugh or two.

With a background in stand-up comedy, the 31-year-old writer and internet tech geek relies on a few 20-something years of excess in his own life as a starting point.

Many of his bits of wisdom have been dispensed by others, but not quite like this.

Among Boyle’s topics: What would Tom Hanks do? Nobody knows anything. Accept the fact most relationships fail. His book, “Adulthood for Beginners: All the Life Secrets Nobody Bothered to Tell you,” will be released in May by TarcherPerigee, a division of Penguin Random House.

A conversation with Andy Boyle: AP: Who is your intended audience here?

Boyle: Really anyone who’s looking

for help, either in starting their life or trying to understand someone who’s starting out adulthood.

AP: That’s around when life went off the rails a bit for you? In your 20s?

Boyle: The same thing happened

to me that I think happens to a lot of people. You go through 12 years of school and you go to college. And then it’s, ‘OK, go be an adult.’

I was just kind of treading water for probably five or six years, even though I was doing OK professionally.

I was constantly filled with self-doubt.

My personal life was a mess. I was really overweight. I was sick a lot of the time. I was leading this sort of unhealthy, sad life.

The tipping point was when I was working for the Chicago Tribune. I was in a meeting and I crossed my legs and I split my pants right down the back.

That was 2013, when I started not drinking. I was 27 or 28. I was at 306 pounds.

AP: Let’s talk about the chapter, ‘What AP: Why does the comedian part of the Hell Should You Do with Your Life?’ yourself make you a good person to You talk about turning your passion into dispense advice?

Boyle: Light and funny is a nice way your profession and why you think that’s b.s. to go. I try to stay not cynical. I’m not Boyle: A lot of these books say you saying I know all of the answers. It’s more like, ‘Hey, I’ve made a bunch of mistakes and some of them were kind of funny.’

Find some joy in the silliness.

AP: You suggest young people only have ‘Hell, yeah’ sex.

Boyle: You should really want to do

it, whereas a lot of times young people are pressured into thinking, like, ‘Oh, I’m 22. I should be having lots of sex.’

You should just listen to your brain for that ‘Hell, yeah.’ A lot of times young people are pressured into thinking meh, I’ll have some sex, but you should really, really want to have the sex.

AP: But you’re not suggesting true love here. You also believe casual sex is fun and awesome.

Boyle: You can still feel ‘Hell, yeah’ about that human being if you’re not in love with them. It’s all about being kind, respectful and caring.

should find what you love and do that every day. I’m saying go work that job that maybe you don’t love, but it’s good enough and maybe it makes you happy. It allows you to maybe buy that fishing boat that you want because you love to go fishing.

You don’t necessarily have to turn your passion into your job.

AP: Isn’t that kind of a throwback idea as opposed to the millennial approach to life?

Boyle: Maybe. I grew up with two

amazing parents. I’m from Nebraska.

My mom owned her own insurance agency and my dad sold cattle feed for a living. On the side, they had all these other little business projects that would help them make money.

But my mom loved to play piano.

She’s been playing the piano since she was 4 or 5 years old. It brings her joy.

It makes her happier than anything

else in the world, but she knew that she needed to be able to feed herself and to help support a family.

AP: You talk about gaming oneself, like a little personal twist on the Tom Sawyer fence-painting story.

Boyle: Yeah, turn things into a little

game. Even if it’s shopping or going to the gym. Trick your brain into adding five more pounds to the bench press.

Be competitive with yourself. Shop for groceries as fast as you can and time yourself.

AP: You wrote without Nickelback you wouldn’t be where you are today. What did you mean by that?

Boyle: I had this realization that I

was a jerk back then. I would make fun of people who liked Nickelback when in fact it was, like, ‘Andy, you owned Silver Side Up.’ It was that moment where it was, like, ‘Hey man, Nickelback fans are human.’

You shouldn’t be mean to them. I look back with a lot of regret about how I treated people. I don’t want to be that guy.

Limit sugar

Sugar has been shown to suppress our immune system by lowering our white blood cells’ ability to engulf bacteria, which can lead to more instances of colds, flu and other illnesses.

This effect can start as soon as 30 minutes after sugar consumption and last up to five hours. So if you really want to stay healthy this winter, step away from the sugar.

Guzzle water

Many children unconsciously slow their water intake during the winter perhaps because they rarely sweat in the colder temperatures. Yet water washes

bacteria and viruses from our throats and through our digestive tracts before they have time to set up shop and do damage. So make sure your children drink lots of water: Send your child to school with a water bottle and to bed with a tall glass of water, and place a full pitcher on the table at every meal.

Befriend bone broth

Often called the miracle food, bone broth is nutrition in its most absorbable, operational form. It boosts the immune system, reduces inflammation – such as a sore throat or a Norovirus-damaged stomach – washes away germs in the mouth and digestive tract, builds the gut lining, contributes to restorative sleep and fights infection. Bone broth is our go-to when we see signs of sickness.

Make soup with it, boil rice or pasta in it and drink it warmed with a sprinkle of pepper.

Feed on pre- and probiotics

Prebiotic foods such as garlic, onions, artichokes, avocado and cider vinegar act as nourishment for the good bacteria in our digestive tract. We need the good bacteria to be strong enough to do their job of fighting off the viruses and harmful bacteria. At the same time, probiotic

foods such as miso, sauerkraut, pickles and kombucha are fermented and deliver the good bacteria directly into the digestive tract, boosting our immune function and enabling us to ward off illness.

Devour vitamins and minerals

Vitamins such as D, C and A are supreme immune boosters that empower our bodies to fight off colds, while zinc helps create and activate our immune system’s white blood cells. So gobble up citrus, leafy greens, orange and yellow vegetables such as carrots and squash, and nuts and seeds.

Rest

The long nights and short days of winter are nature’s way of insisting we get more rest. The body’s metabolic rate naturally slows, encouraging slower, less-active behavior. Try to put your kids in their nests a little earlier than normal and see how greedily their bodies lap up the extra sleep.

Norovirus seems to be circling like a vulture this winter, and snuffly kids are popping up on every park bench. On a local parenting e-mail group, it was reported two-thirds of the kids and teachers at one Washington elementary school were out sick one day in December.

Together, this has made me frantic to keep my kids healthy, especially through their recent midterm exams and now into the heart of winter. From their perspective, my boys are motivated to take their self-care up a notch because it would be tragic to get sick and miss the many basketball games, bar mitzvahs and birthday trips to Sky Zone that fill their schedules.

One of my children asked me why people are more likely to get sick in the winter than the summer. In general, it is because people spend more time indoors in close quarters, where they breathe recycled air, touch the same surfaces and therefore more easily spread germs.

The parched air also dries our sinuses, causing irritation and prompting our bodies to make more mucus to soothe the irritation. This extra mucus is a breeding ground for the bacteria in the air and

a landing pad for Norovirus to swoop in for the kill. People often also find themselves worn down and stressed out from the holidays, so they’re more susceptible to illnesses in the new year.

If a body, specifically its immune system, is strong, it should be able to stare down any cold virus without blinking.

But if the immune system is stressed, overtired or weakened, that cold virus will stalk its prey and win every time.

So what am I doing to keep my kids and their immune systems healthy during winter?

30 Recurrence of breast cancer might be

linked to heavier alcohol consumption

Dear Doctor: I read your recent response to a question about alcohol consumption and its correlation to breast cancer. But what about the risk once you’ve been diagnosed? I recently was diagnosed with breast cancer and have completed radiation. I am on medication and have a very positive prognosis. I enjoy a glass of wine occasionally and am wondering if I should continue doing this. You talked about two units of alcohol every three or four days as being acceptable. What exactly are two units, and would this be OK for someone in my situation?

Dear Reader: For those who missed my previous column, let me repeat: The relationship between alcohol consumption and breast cancer has been studied multiple times, and there does appear to be a link. Studies have shown this link is dose-responsive, meaning the more you drink, the greater the risk of developing breast cancer. The correlation between breast cancer and heavy or binge drinking is the most definite.

In the prior article, I also referred to a positive benefit of alcohol for women, in that research has found having one drink (two units of alcohol) every three to four days was linked to a significant decrease – 17 percent – in death during the course of one study.

As for whether there is an association between alcohol consumption and cancer recurrence or a new cancer after a breast cancer diagnosis, that has been studied as well. A 2016 article in the journal Cancer Treatment Reviews analyzed results from 16 studies to assess breast cancer risk and alcohol consumption in women who previously had been diagnosed with breast cancer.

Eleven of the studies looked at recurrence of the original breast cancer, and five studies

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Robert Ashley looked at another new breast cancer developing. The women in the studies were followed for five to 18 years.

Some studies showed no correlation, but the results of the combined studies did show a small connection between alcohol intake and a recurrence of breast cancer. The correlation was found even among those who drank one unit of wine every day – that’s half a standard glass, to answer your question about units of wine. Alcohol also had a greater effect upon women after menopause and women who were obese. However, the five studies that looked at new breast cancers did not show an effect from alcohol.

It is difficult to make an overarching conclusion from this data, but there does appear to be some correlation between alcohol and an increased risk of breast cancer recurrence. However, this correlation was not seen in women who drank alcohol less frequently then one drink every other day.

So in regard to breast cancer, it’s likely safe to have a glass of wine (two units of alcohol) every three days, as this amount doesn’t seem to be linked to an increased risk of new or recurrent breast cancer.

But please make sure to continue your regular follow-ups of evaluations with mammograms.

a lot in common with Brandy, your cancer changed you. Someone who sends “gloom and doom” articles about the disease and tries to destroy your marriage by fixing you up is not a friend but a saboteur. You absolutely did the right thing by following your therapist’s suggestion.

Dear Abby: My girlfriend pins me up against a wall to kiss me every chance she gets. What does this mean? – Lip-Locked In L.A. Dear Lip-Locked: I don’t know what it means to her, but to me it means she might have seen it in a movie and is trying to show you how passionate she is about you. If you don’t like it, speak up and say so – and if you do like it, speak up and say so.

a 15-year-old boy.

I’m happy with my life, except for one thing. My mom believes in God, and Dad doesn’t. I believe in God, but I don’t support my mom’s religion. My friends and neighbors think I’m in that religion, but I don’t believe in their beliefs. It’s really uncomfortable when people ask why I haven’t been in church.

Mom signs me up for church activities, and I don’t like going. I feel awkward when I try to talk to my parents about it. I’m not close to them, and I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to hurt my mother’s feelings. Can you help me?

– Teen In Ogden, Utah Dear Teen: What you should not do is allow your mother’s faith and your lack of it to become a contest of wills or a basis for argument.

At 15, you are entering adulthood, and these are important years in your life. Thank your mother for the great foundation she has given you. Tell her you love her, and you hope she will continue to love you as you explore what your beliefs are on your spiritual journey. A wise clergyman once told me something I will share with you: The opposite of faith is not doubt; it is certainty.

Dear Abby: I have had one major and one minor bout with cancer. Everyone I know treated me the same and were helpful except for one longtime friend I’ll call Brandy.

You see, I changed and grew as a result of having cancer. The others seemed to accept this, but not Brandy. She still expects me to “snap back” and do everything I liked to do before. She can’t accept that I want to try new things and have let go of others, sends me “gloom and doom” articles about cancer and even tried to fix me up with someone even though I am happily married.

She became angry when I suggested both of us had changed – perhaps too much to sustain the friendship. I tried explaining it to her, but she didn’t understand. A therapist advised ending the friendship as gently as possible, so I did.

Do you think I did the right thing? – Noth-

Wooden Crates

Robert Graves, whose most famous work was the historical novel “I, Claudius,” said, “Prose books are the show dogs I breed and sell to support my cat.”

In bridge, support with support is a policy that will give you the wherewithal to feed your cat if you play for a stake. Typically, this is done by raising partner’s suit, but occasionally it can happen in a more obscure manner. Look at today’s West hand and the auction. North’s one no-trump was forcing one round, showing 6-12 points. What did West do now? (In Standard American, North would have responded two clubs.)

West could have bid four (or five!) diamonds, but he chose another option: three hearts. Since West had not intervened over one spade with two hearts or three hearts, he could not have a good hand with a long suit; he had to have hearts and diamonds.

It was possible that four hearts was East-West’s best contract. North scotched that idea by jumping to four spades to show three spades with, initially, game-invitational strength that had been upgraded -- a ninecard fit is much better than eight, and the heart finesse was clearly winning.

After four spades was passed out, how did the defense go?

West led the club 10: four, ace, jack. East started to cash the diamond king (king from ace-king after trick one), but realized that West must have led a singleton. So, just in time, East led the club two, a suit-preference signal for diamonds.

West ruffed, put partner on lead in diamonds and received a second ruff to defeat the contract.

Volkening goes off

Senior guard powers Indians with 35 points

By JOE STEVENSON

Very exciting day today when I officially got the record for fastest pin in Oklahoma State history! #honored – @GreatMarsdini (Crystal Lake Central graduate Andrew Marsden)

The girls basketball 4A seeds are out.

Dundee-Crown’s strong finish earned it a No. 2 seed, tops in the area. – @akantecki (Northwest Herald sports writer Alex Kantecki) Follow our writers on Twitter: Joe Stevenson – @NWH_JoePrepZone Sean Hammond – @sean_hammond Alex Kantecki – @akantecki John Wilkinson – @jwilks26

What to watch NBA: Bulls at Houston, 7 p.m., CSN The Bulls are on a two-game winning streak, including a 128-100 victory Wednesday at Oklahoma City.

JOHNSBURG – Marengo’s Mike Volkening did what star players do when their teams are in a funk: He dragged them out of it.

Volkening was unstoppable at times on the offensive end, scoring 14 consecutive Indians points at one pivotal second-half stretch.

The 6-foot-3 senior guard was equally impressive on the defensive side, where he hounded Johnsburg sophomore standout Zach Toussaint. After lighting it up for 13 points in the first quarter, Toussaint got only two more baskets.

Volkening poured in 35 points, the second-highest total of his career, as the Indians got a much-needed Kishwaukee River Conference boys basketball victory, 67-46, Thursday night over the Skyhawks.

Marengo (17-6 overall, 5-2 KRC) had lost two of its previous three games, but with Richmond-Burton’s 56-48 victory at Burlington Central, the Indians are tied with Burlington and one-half game behind first-place R-B. “That was huge for us,” Volkening said. “We’ve been a little shaky, a little off. We’ve gotten away from that style of play where we rally together and get it going. It was a team win, everyone gave it their all and we got it done.”

Especially in the third quarter, when Volkening scored 13 of his points.

“We talked at halftime about some of the things we thought were there, and Mike said some of the ‘iso’ plays we were running were there,” Indians coach Nate Wright said. “He said just get it back to me and we’ll get it in the hole. And he did big time.”

Marengo held a 37-35 lead on Johnsburg (11-13, 4-3) at 4:51 of the third quarter when Volkening scored 14 consecutive points for a 51-41 lead. The Indians put the game out of reach quickly in the fourth quarter, as Johnsburg managed only five points.

“We’ve been struggling. We weren’t able to get anything going against Richmond and Woodstock,” Marengo guard Blaine Borhart said. “This game could [give] us a good push. From here I think we can go far.”

Wright felt any risk of Volkening wearing down while guarding Toussaint had to be taken.

“A lot of times you look for the right matchup, where he can defend a decent player and have some breaks out there,”

Marengo’s Mike Volkening tries to drive past Johnsburg’s Cameron Interrante (center) and Mason Sobiesk on Thursday at Johnsburg. Marengo won, 67-46.

Wright said. “Tonight, it was one of those things – that’s their guy; you can’t let that guy beat you. Mike being as long as he is, we thought it was a good matchup.”

Toussaint, who is 5-foot-10, could not get back on track after his hot first quarter. Meanwhile, the Skyhawks had trouble finding anyone to slow down Volkening.

“Mike got touches,” Skyhawks coach Mike Toussaint said. “That was our goal, not to get him touches, and he scored 35 points. At halftime, we thought he was a little frustrated, but he went off. We threw bodies at him, every few minutes somebody fresh. They handled it fine.”

Alex Schirmer added 10 points, and Alejandro Rodriguez came off the bench with a game-high 10 rebounds for the Indians. Toussaint led Johnsburg with 17 points, while Mason Sobiesk added 11.

We were out of control when they put the press on us early in the game, but we handled it a lot better in the second half.”

Burlington Central took a 21-16 lead into halftime, scoring six points in the final 5.1 seconds of the second quarter.

Patrick Mayfield converted a threepoint play, R-B turned the ball over on the inbounds, and TaVontae Harris (12 points) drained a quick-trigger 3-pointer at the buzzer.

To start the third, R-B scored the first seven points to take a 23-21 lead, getting a 3 from Marzahl and two buckets by Kaufman. Burlington Central regained the lead on another three-point play, but a pair of free throws by Marzahl with 3:11 left in the third gave the lead back to R-B, 27-26.

R-B, which scored 40 points in the second half, grew its lead to 38-31 by the end of the third and never trailed again.

“When you hit February, you want to be playing your best basketball,” Creason said. “I’m pretty proud of the guys. We talked all first semester about effort. ... We didn’t think we played hard enough. We’ve kind of remedied that.

We’re playing a lot harder, and good things are happening because of it.”

BOYS SWIMMING: CARY-GROVE CO-OP 118.5, McHENRY 50.5

Trojans win, don’t fret missing record times

By JOHN WILKINSON

jwilkinson@shawmedia.com McHENRY – The Cary-Grove co-op boys swim team had long since clinched the dual meet victory over McHenry, but Trojans senior captain Ethan Hare came out of the pool frustrated with his final swim of Thursday evening.

Hare and teammate Omid Babakhani have their names on the wall at McHenry West from this same meet last year when they were part of a CaryGrove co-op team that set pool records in the 200- and 400-yard freestyle relays.

In Thursday’s Fox Valley Conference dual, the Trojans were shooting to see how they stacked up against last year’s team, which had gone on to state.

Hare called re-breaking the record a “lofty goal” but one that could give them a ton of confidence heading into next week’s conference meet and the subsequent sectional.

They came up short in raw time but, for a couple of reasons, didn’t leave too frustrated.

“I wouldn’t say we’re really disappointed about them,” Babakhani said.

“We’ve worked really hard this season, so we’re really tired and we realize we’re going into taper soon, that’s when we’re going to be seeing these big time drops. So, yeah, we’re a little sad that we didn’t get these times, but we know what’s coming up.”

The Trojans won the 200 freestyle relay, as Babakhani, Cameron Castro, Kolin Fadden and Hare swam a 1:31.41; they won the 400 freestyle relay with Connor Dolezal, Fadden, Babakhani and Hare swimming a 3:25.94.

Siegmeier won the 500-yard freestyle by almost five seconds with a time of 5:04.91, about a second off his lifetime best. He also was second in the 100 backstroke (1:01.86) and swam the team’s best backstroke split of the year in the 200 medley relay.

q THE NUMBER

Wins by C-G co-op out of 11 events

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

It was C-G co-op junior Connor Dolezal’s birthday, which meant cupcakes for the team afterward. Unfortunately for Dolezal, it also meant that team captain Ethan Hare smeared one with blue frosting all across his face and newly bleached-for-postseason hair.

Part of their positivity came from knowing that the pool record last year was broken while wearing FastSkin competition suits. At a recent meet, the Trojans wore those suits and swam a similar time.

“It’s all right. It’s about equal with the times we would do last year under those conditions, so I feel fine with that,” Hare said.

Despite not breaking their own records, the Trojans won the meet, 118.550.5, taking eight of 11 varsity races.

BURLINGTON – Burlington Central boys basketball coach Brett Porto has seen Richmond-Burton’s Blaine Bayer enough times to know that the bouncy point guard won’t stay quiet.

In the teams’ first matchup this season, Burlington Central limited Bayer’s scoring in a convincing 18-point victory.

On Thursday, the 5-foot-8 senior broke loose for 19 points and led R-B to a 56-48 Kishwaukee River Conference victory.

Bayer finished 6 of 7 from the field, sinking four 3-pointers to go with three assists. He made three consecutive 3s in the final 2:30 of the third, turning a one-point lead for R-B into a seven-point cushion before rolling his ankle with 10 seconds remaining in the quarter.

Bayer returned in the fourth.

“I have a lot of respect for Blaine and [R-B] coach (Brandon) Creason,” Porto said. “I’ve seen them for four years, and it’s our eighth time going against him.

He really took over there and really willed them through.

“In that second half, he hit three big shots for them … three pretty contested shots. He draws a lot of attention, and he’s still able to keep the ball in his hands. He’s a coach on the floor.”

With the win, R-B improves to 14-11 overall and 6-2 in the KRC, taking a halfgame lead over Burlington Central and Marengo for first place. R-B’s win was its fifth in a row, while Burlington Central (19-3, 5-2) was left with only its third loss of the season.

“I was just trying to get open for my teammates, and they were hitting me with good passes right in the shooting pocket,” Bayer said. “I was able to go up with them right away and get up a quick shot because they (Burlington Central) were all over me.”

Junior forward Mark Marzahl joined Bayer in double figures with 15 points and a team-leading five assists, and Jake Kaufman added 13 points and nine rebounds. Shane Byrne had six points and five boards.

“This is a huge win for us. It puts us in a good place in conference,” Marzahl said. “They got that five-, six-point swing at half, but we just came back and

“I talked to [Sean] when I was a freshman and sophomore, how much of a difference it made,” Folliard said. “He said that he missed his high school friends (the last semester), but his dream was to play in the NFL, and he put together a great career at Northern.”

Sean tied for the Huskies’ lead in tackles (81) and had six tackles for losses this season. As a junior, he was fourth with 84 tackles and led the Huskies with 81/2 tackles for losses.

Colton, a 6-foot-3, 230-pound defensive end, hopes he can make a similar impact with the Golden Bears. He was part of a remarkable resurgence at McHenry, where the Warriors finished 6-4 and made the playoffs under first-year coach Nat Zunkel, their first postseason appearance since 2007.

Teams compete in one of four divisions: small, medium, large and coed depending on enrollment. Last year, Central took third in the Medium Team category, and Huntley finished sixth in Large Team. In 2015, Hampshire won the Medium Team state championship.

Jacobs qualified for the first time since 2014.

At the Belvidere Sectional last weekend, Central won the Medium Team title with a 94.40, and Hampshire finished fourth with 86.37. In Large Team, Jacobs took first with 93.03, and Huntley finished second with 91.13.

All four have spent hours working on their routines. The journey began in the summertime, when teams brought in a choreographer to put together the basics of what became their competition routine.

Oftentimes, the finished product looks much different from what is introduced in the summer. Those summer practices are all about finding out what the team is capable of.

“When we get together in June, we really start focusing our squad on skills,” Huntley coach Renee Fowler said. “There’s a lot of different elements that go into a competition routine, one of the first things we start focusing on is our stunting skills and how difficult we can make our stunts.”

Once they know that, they can decide what direction to take a routine.

“We take the skills that we’re able to

against Dundee-Crown to set up the Warriors’ first score of that game.

“I really surprised myself,” Folliard said. “All the Division I linemen we have (in the Fox Valley Conference) and the way I was able to perform against those guys made me really happy. All my hard work paid off; those are really great players.”

Folliard attended a camp at NIU in the summer of 2016, where C-SP linebackers coach Jake Munkwitz saw him.

“Concordia was pretty much set in stone for me when it didn’t work out like I wanted on the Division I level,” Folliard said. “My dream is still to play in the NFL, and there’s a few guys from Concordia who have had opportunities in NFL camps.”

Folliard, who is majoring in criminal justice, also said he felt the Twin Cities area could provide him with opportunities in law enforcement after graduation.

Performance times for local competitive cheerleading teams in the preliminaries of the state meet Friday at U.S. Cellular Coliseum in Bloomington (division in parentheses): Crystal Lake Central (Medium) 10 a.m.

Hampshire (Medium) 12:05 p.m.

Central coach Elizabeth Brauneis said the summer is also a time for conditioning. She has her team in the gym by 6 a.m. during the 25 days they are allowed to work together in the summer.

“A cheerleading routine is really like a 21/2-, three-minute sprint,” Brauneis said. “If you’re not conditioned, that’s the key to making our team successful.”

Teams reconvene once the school year starts but cannot work on their

competition routine until October.

That’s when they really start to narrow things down. After they figure out the big idea, the major stunts, they start to focus on the minor details.

Fowler called it a routine “growing thing.” They take what they choreographed in the summer and build upon it, tweak it, until they have a finished product.

Teams are judged based on their jumps, tumbling, pyramids/tosses, partner stunts and motions/dance.

While any one of those aspects in itself presents challenges, what’s really difficult is blending them together and perfecting the timing so it looks like

one cohesive routine.

Central senior captain Gia Poppell will make her third trip to the state finals this weekend. For spectators who don’t watch much competitive cheerleading, she said something to watch for during a competition is the timing a team has on the floor.

“It comes down to really fine, sharp movements,” Poppell said. “With our tumbling, making sure everything is crisp and together. Making every part as strong as we can, yelling as loud as we can.”

Poppell and Bolda were members of the Central team that finished third in Medium Team last year. Poppella said the Tigers are hoping to keep improving on that finish.

At this stage, the teams no longer are making many changes to their routines. This week in practice is about perfecting what they’ve worked on since summer. Even the smallest of mistakes can make a difference at state.

“It’s the little things,” Fowler said.

“It’s not stepping out of a back tuck. It’s walking clean, making sure everything is tight, making sure everything is perfect.”

Colton Folliard naturally looked up to his cousin Sean Folliard as a role model in his own football career.

Sean Folliard was a standout at Prairie Ridge, where he played on the Wolves’ 2011 Class 6A state championship team, and just finished his career at Northern Illinois University, where he started the past two seasons at outside linebacker.

As Colton’s career at McHenry progressed, he communicated frequently with his cousin. One subject they sometimes discussed was leaving high

school early. Sean said he felt he had a great advantage by completing his graduation requirements early and enrolling at NIU in January 2013.

About a year ago, as a junior at McHenry, Colton decided he would do the same.

The Warriors’ defensive end finished his requirements at Colton Folliard McHenry in December and enrolled at NCAA Division II Concordia-St. Paul (Minnesota) in January. He will practice with the Golden Bears in spring football, starting March 1, giving him a head start on his freshman season.

Folliard did not sign a National Letter of Intent on Wednesday, the first day of the NCAA signing period for football and soccer. Because he enrolled to start the semester, he signed a scholarship agreement.

She came through with a team-high 13 points in a 36-24 loss to Hampshire on Wednesday, scoring more than half of her team’s points.

She chipped in eight rebounds and three blocks.

NORTHWEST HERALD POWER RANKINGS 1. Johnsburg (20-8): The Skyhawks clinched the Kishwaukee River Conference title and have two regular-season games remaining. Johnsburg can complete a perfect conference season with a win Friday over Woodstock North.

2. Hampshire (15-8): The Whip-Purs continue to move closer to securing the FVC championship with six straight conference wins. They can clinch a share of the FVC title with a victory against Cary-Grove on Saturday.

3. Dundee-Crown (15-11): The Chargers are playing their best basketball at the right time, and are threatening to make a late run for the FVC title. Like Hampshire, D-C has won six straight in conference play, with its last lost coming against the Whips.

4. Cary-Grove (13-11): After a rough stretch, the Trojans have bounced back with three wins out of their past four and are one of three teams in the conference with five losses (D-C and Huntley).

5. Huntley (13-12): The Red Raiders lost

Proud Sponsor of Athlete of the Week three in a row but bounced back with a 52-33 victory over McHenry to keep their hopes alive for their third straight FVC title.

NOTEWORTHY Dumoulin takes charge: With the rest of the FVC chasing Hampshire, senior guard Rachel Dumoulin has taken her game to the next level, leading the Whips atop the highly contested conference race.

Dumoulin is averaging 14.3 points a game and scored a game-high 18 points Wednesday in Hampshire’s 36-24 win over Crystal Lake South. The 5-foot-9 guard isn’t the most imposing athlete on the floor, but her knack for finding ways to the basket is evident each game.

Ten of Dumoulin’s 18 points came at the foul line Wednesday, and she’s shooting 86.8 percent (131 of 151) on free throws this season.

She is one of seven seniors on the Whips, but the team’s success has come as a bit of a surprise after losing four starters, including the team’s second all-time leading scorer in Emma Benoit (Division II Northern Michigan).

“Our seniors didn’t have a lot of experience last year,” Hampshire coach Mike Featherly said. “We lost four starters, and so they’re gaining more and more confidence and experience, and they’re showing it right now.

Rachel is just so rock solid. Physically and mentally, just so stable out there.”

The Whips can clinch a share of the FVC title with a win over Cary-Grove on Saturday, but Dumoulin and her teammates aren’t thinking about that.

“No, no,” Dumoulin said. “Game by game.

We’re close, but we’re just going to play each game like it’s another game.”

Six straight: Dundee-Crown continued its hot streak Wednesday with a 52-25 win against Crystal Lake Central, earning its sixth straight win and climbing to second place in the FVC. At one point, the Chargers were 1-3 in conference. Now, D-C is 9-5 with a chance at the conference crown. They’ll need to beat Hampshire on Monday, as well as get some help.

D-C (15-11) ends the season at Jacobs, which the Chargers beat, 41-37, Jan. 6.

“We feel like going into the postseason, we finally have a good head on our shoulders, and we know what we’re capable of,” senior Paige Gieseke said after the Chargers defeated McHenry, 40-29, Jan. 27. “We’ve finally worked out the kinks on offense.”

Closing in on 1,000: With 18 points in Marian Central’s loss to Nazareth on Wednesday, junior Vannessa Garrelts is 56 points away from 1,000 in her career. Marian has three regular-season games left, giving her a good chance of reaching the milestone before the playoffs.

The Hurricanes travel to Sandwich on Saturday, Johnsburg on Monday, and host Benet on Wednesday. Garrelts is averaging almost 18 points a game. She played in only a handful of games as a freshman because of the school’s rule preventing freshmen from playing on varsity during the regular season.

Better Warriors: McHenry hasn’t had a winning season since 2012, when the Warriors went 19-12. The past two seasons,

McHenry has been stuck on 11 wins. Despite its recent losing streak, the Warriors have a good chance to finish above .500 for the first time in five years.

Even after their loss to D-C, McHenry coach Rob Niemic was happy with the way his team competed, as has been the case for most of the season.

“If you would have told me at this point, back in November, we’d be 7-5 in conference and 14-9 and still in this, I would have taken it,” Niemic said. “I probably would have said, ‘OK, sure.’ 7-5 and right there in the mix. We can’t worry about what other people do, we just have to worry about our selves. DundeeCrown is doing that right now.

“I’m just really proud of our girls for fighting through a tough night offensively. Maybe in the past, it could have turned into a bigger deficit, but I didn’t feel like at any point we were out of it. It’s a big change of attitude in our program.”

WHAT TO WATCH Woodstock North at Johnsburg 7 p.m. Friday Johnsburg can wrap up a perfect season in the KRC, while North looks to play spoiler.

Cary-Grove at Hampshire 3:30 p.m. Saturday Hampshire can clinch a share of the FVC title with a win; C-G is eliminated with a loss.

Crystal Lake South at Huntley 3:30 p.m. Saturday Both teams are alive in the FVC race, but both likely need to win out and get help.

Hampshire at Dundee-Crown 7 p.m. Monday The Chargers are eliminated from FVC title contention with a loss.

LINCOLN, Neb. – Miles Bridges scored 16 points to lead five Michigan State players in double figures, and Michigan State shot 63 percent in the second half to pull away from Nebraska for a 72-61 victory Thursday night.

The Spartans (14-9, 6-4 Big Ten), who beat Michigan on Sunday, won consecutive games for the first time since December and ended a three-game losing streak against the Cornhuskers (10-12, 4-6).

The Spartans’ Cassius Winston said he and his teammates came into the game looking at the big picture. Michigan State is trying to make the NCAA Tournament for the 20th straight year, and there’s a lot more work to be done to get there.

Michigan State’s bench outscored Ne-

braska’s, 31-9, with Alvin Ellis III scoring 11 points and Nick Ward and Winston adding 10 apiece. Kenny Goins also had 10 points.

Tai Webster had 18 points, Jordy Tschimanga added a season-high 15 points and nine rebounds and Glynn Watson Jr. scored 13 points.

Michigan State made eight of its first 10 3-pointers in the second half and finished 11 of 17. Ellis and Joshua Langford made three 3s apiece.

8 SUPER BOWL LI

Garoppolo can’t escape Bears talk

By PATRICK FINLEY

pfinley@suntimes.com

HOUSTON – Jimmy Garoppolo feels the tug of home.

It usually is vocalized by his childhood friends from Arlington Heights, not satisfied with his status as the Patriots’ backup quarterback.

They ask him about starting for the Bears.

“All the time,” he said.

He usually will fire a joke back in their direction. It’s a question he’s used to answering – and has been asked this week, in between doing his best Matt Ryan impression during practice.

“It’s kinda one those things,” he said this week. “During the season I’m not really responding to them. Right now, it’s all Atlanta. We’ll see how it goes on Monday.”

The Patriots have reached their second Super Bowl in his three seasons, but he wants to lead one onto the field as the starter.

“That’s been the dream since you were a little kid growing up,” said the Eastern Illinois and Rolling Meadows High School alum. “You want to be the guy in the game, playing, and in the Super Bowl. It’s what you live for, really.”

Mentor Tom Brady is 39 but said Monday night that he didn’t see “any end in sight” to his career. Garoppolo is entering the final year of his contract, so this offseason is the Patriots’ last chance to move him. Their asking price figures to be substantial, based on the fact the Eagles were able to land the Vikings’ 2017 first-round pick and 2018 fourth-rounder for Sam Bradford.

Garoppolo, however, has started

New England Patriots quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo warms up before the AFC Championship Game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Jan. 22 in Foxborough, Mass. Garoppolo is entering the final year of his contract. only two career games – while Brady was serving his “Deflategate” suspension to begin the season. But Garoppolo sprained the AC joint in his right shoulder with about four minutes left in the first half of Game 2.

His starter tape, then, is limited to five healthy quarters. And whichever team trades for him would likely sign him to a new deal before he plays a snap.

“Can you imagine? He might get traded and paid for playing just [two games] … it’s amazing,” NFL Network analyst and former Lions coach Steve

Mariucci said.

“We’re looking for the next franchise quarterback or pro bowl quarterback.

If there’s an inkling of thought that he might be that guy, and he’s young, and we can get him – I hate to use the word ‘overpay,’ but that’s what you have to do.”

The Texans’ Brock Osweiler personifies such dangers, but the Bears can claim better knowledge of Garoppolo than most. They practiced alongside the Patriots for three days leading up to their preseason game, in which Garoppolo went 16 for 21 for 181 yards and

a touchdown.

After one practice session, the quarterback and Bears general manager Ryan Pace, a fellow Eastern Illinois alum, chatted for a few minutes.

Bears coach John Fox needs to win games in his third season, and the 25-year-old wouldn’t have the same growing pains as a rookie would.

Garoppolo’s inexperience isn’t unusual, either. Two of the top three quarterback prospects have relatively few college starts – Notre Dame’s DeShone Kizer (23) and North Carolina’s Mitch Trubisky (13).

Pace said last week he looks for three things in a quarterback.

“It’s your football intelligence, it’s your accuracy, it’s your ability to quickly process,” he said.

Garoppolo has shown all three – but in a limited audition.

“He’s learned how to be a professional,” said Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, whose brother Ben is a Bears offensive assistant. “He’s learned how to approach this game. He now understands how difficult it is to be good.

“I think that’s important thing for a young player – to cross that line and figure out, ‘It’s not going to come easy to me any more.’ ” Fifteen of Garoppolo’s family members and friends will attend Sunday’s Super Bowl.

His next could be much closer to home.

Garoppolo sounds ready to be a starter, wherever it might be.

“I don’t want to sound cocky,” he said, “but as a quarterback, in the back of your mind you always think you can do it.”

Kuchar shoots 7-under 64 for Phoenix Open lead The ASSOCIATED PRESS

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Matt Kuchar hardly looked like a guy coming off a seven-week break Thursday in the first round of the Waste Management Phoenix Open.

Kuchar eagled the par-5 13th and added two late birdies and a big par save on the rowdy par-3 16th hole in an opening 7-under-par 64 at TPC Scottsdale.

“It was so nice to be home,” Kuchar said. “Our kids got to play basketball. This is basketball season back home. I have always been traveling out west, so it was fun for me

to be home, be dad, go to basketball games and practices. But we had such good weather, I got good practice in.

My boys are now 7 and 9 and they’re into golf, as well. In the afternoons, we’d sneak out and play a few holes.

Wasn’t too rusty.”

Playing in perfect afternoon conditions in front of a crowd estimated at 103,420, Kuchar took a one-stroke lead over defending champion Hideki Matsuyama and Brendan Steele.

“Someone told me it was 5 million,” Kuchar joked about the crowd.

“So many people out here. It’s a good buzz. It’s a good vibe.”

He made a 25-foot eagle putt on 13.

Blackhawks center Artem Anisimov flips over Minnesota Wild center Charlie Coyle on Jan. 15 at the United Center. Anisimov hadn’t scored in 11 games entering Thursday. the trio was back together Thursday.

“I still think there’s always something there,” Quenneville said. “For a year and change, that line’s been the best in the game. We know it has a lot of capabilities.”

What it doesn’t have right now is a lot of confidence. Interestingly, both Anisimov and Kane lamented how little they’ve had the puck lately. But in the past 11 games, the line has posted some of its best possession numbers of the season. Kane and Panarin, in particular, have been dominating play, with the Hawks taking more than 58 percent of the total shot attempts when they’re on the ice.

But it hasn’t translated to goals.

“We’re probably the one line that can generate a little more and start creating

for the good of the team, and help the overall team game,” Kane said. “That’s on us. That’s our job to create offense.

Not only that, but just to get our team momentum. Our power play hasn’t been as good this year, and it’s probably affecting the overall game, too. I think all three of us can be better in that area.”

Indeed, the Hawks are 1 for 20 on the power play since Jan. 13. And although Quenneville kept the trio together for 5-on-5 play, he broke them up on the power-play units Thursday to try to inject some life. Marian Hossa was with Panarin and Anisimov, and Kane was with Jonathan Toews’ unit.

Kane has only two power-play goals all season, after scoring 17 last season on his way to the scoring title and Hart Trophy.

GLENDALE, Ariz. – Patrick Kane had a goal and an assist, Duncan Keith added two assists and the Blackhawks defeated the Arizona Coyotes, 4-3, Thursday night to stop a three-game slide.

The Hawks led twice by three goals but gave up three in the second period and had to hold on. Ryan Hartman, Marian Hossa and Artemi Panarin also scored for the Hawks.

Christian Dvorak and Brendan Perlini each had a goal and an assist for the Coyotes. Oliver Ekman-Larsson also scored for Arizona.

HAWKS NOTES

Quenneville feels for Hitchcock after firing

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com GLENDALE, Ariz. – Few coaches in the NHL have more job security than the Blackhawks’ Joel Quenneville does.

But he still feels it every time one of his colleagues loses his job, and Quenneville said it was “tough” to hear that the St. Louis Blues fired longtime rival Ken Hitchcock on Wednesday.

Hitchcock was the third coach to be fired, following Florida’s Gerard Gallant and the Islanders’ Jack Capuano.

“We know that it’s a tough job,” Quenneville said. “Things can happen.

Lost a couple coaches here recently.

Hitch did a tremendous job for that team and organization. They were al-

ways hard to play against. That’s always a tough part of our business.”

Hitchcock was planning to retire at the end of the season, with former Minnesota Wild coach Mike Yeo set to take over. Instead, Yeo takes over midseason, and Hitchcock – if this is indeed the end for his Joel coaching career – will Quenneville finish fourth on the alltime wins list, one behind Al Arbour.

The Blues, of course, bounced the Hawks in the first round of last year’s playoffs. But they’ve fallen outside of the playoff picture with losses in five of their past six games. Quenneville didn’t

know what to expect from a Yeo-led Blues squad.

“He’s got the same personnel,” Quenneville said. “They always seem to be ready when they play us. I think that they’ll probably be comparable in a lot of ways.”

Vegas moves: Starting around March 1, the expansion Vegas Golden Knights will be able to make trades with current teams. They won’t be able to trade for players under contract for the 2016-17 season, but they can swap draft picks and acquire prospects. Teams also can send assets to Vegas in exchange for special considerations – in other words, a guarantee that Vegas will not pick a certain unprotected player in the expansion draft in June.

Hawks general manager Stan Bowman said he has had some talks with Vegas GM George McPhee.

“There’s so much that’s going to change between now and then, so it’s hard to say whether we’ll go down that road,” Bowman said. “But yeah, it’s a possibility.”

Prospect watch: Alex DeBrincat, the Hawks’ second-round pick in June, continues to tear up the Ontario Hockey League, with 38 goals and 43 assists in 42 games. Bowman said he’s “not surprised anymore.”

“I think he has elite talent, and that’s what’s allowed him to do that,” Bowman said of the 5-foot-7, 170-pounder.

“Alex is not that far from being an NHL player.”

GLENDALE, Ariz. – If it were obvious, Artem Anisimov would have done something about it by now. If opponents were playing his line differently, he could adapt. If certain passes were being telegraphed and certain shots were being anticipated and certain set plays were being preempted, he could come up with something new.

But it’s not that simple. It’s not that obvious. Frankly, Anisimov doesn’t quite know what’s wrong with the Blackhawks’ vaunted second line. He just knows everything feels a bit off.

“It’s hard to explain,” he said. “The game’s just not coming our way. We just need to find a way – find a way to click again, and score goals, and create chances. We’re going to find it.”

They’d better. The Hawks too often have been a one-line team over the past two seasons, and lately, that one line has been coming up empty. Entering Thursday’s game in Arizona, Anisimov hadn’t scored in 11 games. Artemi Panarin hadn’t scored in nine games, and was unusually unnoticeable in Tuesday’s 3-1 loss in San Jose. And Patrick Kane had three goals in his past 11 games.

Just about every line goes through natural ebbs and flows over the course of a season. But this isn’t just any line.

So when coach Joel Quenneville split them up for parts of the Sharks game, it was noteworthy. Quenneville always has an itchy trigger finger with his lines, but not that one. And sure enough,

Gibson dismisses recent trade talk

The Sky traded forward Elena Delle Donne (right) to the Washington Mystics on Thursday for Stefanie Dolson, Kahleah Copper and the No. 2 pick in this year’s draft.

SKY

Ex-MVP Delle Donne traded to Washington

By DOUG FEINBERG The Associated Press

Elena Delle Donne is headed to Washington in one of the biggest trades in the WNBA’s history.

The 2015 MVP is joining the Mystics after being traded from the Sky on Thursday for Stefanie Dolson, Kahleah Copper and the No. 2 pick in this year’s draft.

The move gets her closer to her Delaware home.

“I’m really excited about this next chapter in my career with the Mystics,” Delle Donne said. “Coach (Mike) Thibault, (majority owner, chairman and CEO) Mr. (Ted) Leonsis and (vice chairman, president and managing partner) Ms. (Sheila) Johnson have built a strong team that is ready to make a significant impact in the league, and I’m thrilled to be a part of it. I’m sad to be leaving Chicago, a place that was a fantastic city for sports and truly felt like home.”

Family always has been important to Delle Donne. She left UConn after two days because she wanted to be closer to home and her family, including her sister, Lizzie – who is blind, deaf and has cerebral palsy – and enrolled at Delaware, where she went on to have an incredible collegiate career. Now she can get home from Washington in less than two hours.

“My entire family is super excited, even aunts and uncles,” Delle Donne said. “I’ve gotten texts, calls, everyone’s thrilled. They’ll be at a lot

of games. Having Lizzie this close by is so great. I can’t call her, Facetime her and pick up the phone to talk to her. Now I’m in such close proximity of her. I’m hoping to get her to a game.

She hasn’t been to one of my professional games.”

Delle Donne averaged 21.5 points and seven rebounds a game last season, helping the Sky reach the playoffs. She missed the postseason after thumb surgery. The 6-foot-5 forward has said she continues to deal with the lingering effects of Lyme disease, which she has battled since 2008. It forced her to leave China less than 48 hours after she arrived there this month to play in the country’s professional basketball league.

“Completely confident I’ll be ready to play the WNBA season,” Delle Donne said.

Delle Donne is the second big-name player to leave the Sky in the past two seasons via trade. Sylvia Fowles sat out the first part of the 2015 season until she was traded to Minnesota.

The Sky lose their star, who was embraced by the Windy City. Delle Donne even named her dog Wrigley after the home of the Cubs.

“I’m still a Cubs fan; his name will stay Wrigley,” Delle Donne said. “It will be an easier time at dog parks now since every dog isn’t named Wrigley.”

The Sky have a strong roster, with talented veterans Cappie Pondexter, Courtney Vandersloot and Allie Quigley, along with Dolson, Copper and second-year player Imani Boyette.

HOUSTON – Taj Gibson has grown immune to all of it.

At this point, it’s barely even noise for the Bulls big man.

Let’s see, just in the past few weeks Gibson has been rumored to be heading to Minnesota, Toronto, Houston and Philadelphia.

If there’s a trade rumor concerning the Bulls, it usually has Gibson’s name in it.

“The rumor mill, I think, is a bunch of people that aren’t real writers, basically,” Gibson said. “The guys that don’t have the real credentials but just want to pretend they are real media, so there’s always going to be rumors as long as some guy out there wants to just jot some stuff down and hit send.”

Now Gibson isn’t naive.

He knows that being a part of a team that is 25-25, as well as a front office that still doesn’t seem to have a concrete plan moving forward, he is a likely trade candidate. Throw in the fact that he’s 31 years old and set to become a free agent this offseason, and it makes sense for the Bulls to move him if they feel like they can get younger but still stay in the Eastern Conference playoff hunt.

What Gibson won’t do anymore, however, is dwell on it.

“This is part of the job,” Gibson said. “I’ve been traded so many times, my whole thing is at least there’s teams that want you. It’s different when no one wants you. But you never know. I’m always loyal to the Bulls, first and foremost.”

Will that feeling stay mutual?

The trade deadline is Feb. 23, and although the Bulls entered Thursday holding down the No. 7 spot in the East, getting a first-round playoff series and possibly a first-round exit, shouldn’t be the goal.

VP of basketball operations John Paxson and general manager Gar Forman have insisted that the roster needs to get younger and more athletic, but the lack of consistent depth behind Gibson also could hurt the Bulls short-term if they make a move.

That shouldn’t be a big deal for most teams, but the marketing-first Bulls seem fixated on playoff appearances, especially when the front office has dried up the excuses depart-

If they were to move Gibson, that would mean Bobby Portis would have to be ready for increased minutes, unless they brought a power forward with a higher upside back in the deal. Portis isn’t ready, and few NBA teams are looking to move young, talented power forwards.

That’s another reason Gibson is all for his front office staying pat.

“You can’t make any moves right now,” Gibson said. “We just got to start focusing on what we have on the court. You can’t sit around and wait for the team to bring in someone to save you. We got more than enough to win right now.

“We do well against the good teams in this league, and now we still have to figure out how to play better against the teams that are bottom level. Just do our jobs. That other stuff is management’s job, not my job.”

The way Gibson sees it, one good week in the East and the Bulls could challenge for home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs.

“People think that all the stuff going on with us that we have problems?” Gibson said with a laugh. “I mean, look around the East. There’s a lot of teams with growing pains, a lot of secret meetings going on all over, I bet you that. We’re not the only ones.”
