More horse paths for the county? MCCd looking at trails and expanded parking for trailers By EMIlY K. ColEMAN

ecoleman@shawmedia.com

WOODSTOCK – Horse riding enthusiasts may get part of what they asked for. After approaching the McHenry County Conservation District about a year ago, its operations director said some of the McHenry County Horse Club’s requests could be met with two “easy” changes. The quotes around “easy” were his. “I put ‘easy’ in quotes because nothing in the district is easy,” Director of Operations John Kremer said at the district’s board meeting Thursday evening. “There’s typically permitting. There’s different committees it has to run through. Everything takes time, but it seemed they weren’t insurmountable to do. It didn’t have to have a lot a resources, both staff and financial resources, put into them.”

The horse club’s January 2012 letter boiled down to three requests, Kremer said. They would like the district to expand the diversity of paths through different terrains, allow horses on some of the multiuse trails the district already has, and address parking shortcomings. An additional loop could be added to the trails at Glacial Park by using a road that is used only by district staff, Kremer said. It would cost about $50 in signs and may actually save the district money, he said. The district could redirect hikers onto the proposed horse trail, and staff would not have to mow the path the hikers currently use. The new loop also would avoid a road crossing that is a bit of a trouble spot, especially for skittish horses or new riders, Kremer added.

Hitting the debt ceiling: What bills would be paid? By IM KUHNHENN

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – In the summer of 2011, when a debt crisis like the current one loomed, President Barack Obama warned Republicans that older Americans might not get their Social Security checks unless there was a deal to raise the nation’s borrowing limit. After weeks of brinkmanship, Republicans consented and Obama agreed to a deficitreduction plan the GOP wanted. Crisis averted, for a time. Now that there’s a fresh showdown, the possibility of Social Security cuts – and more – is back on the table. The government could run out of cash to pay all its bills

Sarah Nader – snader@shawmedia.com

in full as early as Feb. 15, according to one authoritative estimate, and congressional Republicans want significant spending cuts in exchange for raising the borrowing limit. Obama, forced to negotiate an increase in 2011, has pledged not to negotiate again. President Without an Barack agreement, evobama eryoptionfacing his administration would be unprecedented. It would require a degree of financial creativity that could test the law, perhaps even the Constitution.

ALGONQUIN – The owners of No Limit Arcade watched recently as a kid playing a first-person shooting game pointed the plastic arcade gun at a friend. “Bam, you’re dead,” co-owner Mark Battaglia recalled one kid saying to the other. “Bam you’re dead,” replied the other as he pretended to shoot his friend.

With the Dec. 14 shootings in Newtown, Conn., fresh in their minds, Battaglia and co-owner Kevin Slota decided to eliminate arcade games that involved shooting other humans from their business at 2719 W.

8WATER COOLER ‘Python challenge’ draws hundreds

BIG CYPRESS NATIONAL PRESERVE, Fla. – An armed mob set out into the Florida Everglades on Saturday to flush out a scaly invader. It sounds like the second act of a sci-fi horror flick but, really, it’s pretty much Florida’s plan for dealing with an infestation of Burmese pythons that are eating their way through a fragile ecosystem. Almost 800 people signed up for the monthlong “Python Challenge” that started Saturday. The vast majority – 749 – are members of the general public who lack the permits usually required to harvest pythons on public lands. “We feel like anybody can get out in the Everglades and figure out how to try and find these things,” said Nick Wiley, executive director of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. The state is offering cash prizes to whoever brings in the longest python and whoever bags the most pythons by midnight Feb. 10.

Woman allegedly faked injury for free ride

FOND DU LAC, Wis. – A Fond du Lac woman is accused of throwing herself to the ground and trying to hurt herself so an ambulance would give her a free ride home. A Fond du Lac report said a man called police saying the woman, 36, wouldn’t stop hassling him for money. The woman said the man owed her $100. Police told her to take up the matter in court and leave the property. She said she had no money for cab fare and asked police to drive her home. When the officer refused she asked for an ambulance. The officer said she had to be injured, so she threw herself down and said she hurt her knee. Police called the ambulance, but told the woman she’d be billed.

HUNTLEY – Dina Frigo’s passion for the developmentally disabled has led to the creation of a new program that she hopes will lead to a healthier lifestyle for families affected by autism. Frigo approached officials from the Northern Illinois Special Recreation Association in early December about an idea that would create a social outlet for autistic children, their caregivers and siblings. Enthusiastic about the premise, NISRA and Frigo quickly developed the 3-in-1 program and will be hosting the first event from 7 to 9 p.m. Feb. 8 at the Sage Therapeutic Recreation Center, 285 Memorial Drive, Crystal Lake. The idea came to Frigo, after almost 10 years of caring for her son, Anthony, 11, who was diagnosed with autism at 21⁄2 years old. The Huntley mother of three wanted to create an avenue that allowed for families with special needs children to be together, after she has spent years juggling therapy sessions, home and personal life. The program, which is being supported by NISRA and Options and Advocacy, provides entertainment for the autistic children and their siblings, while parents can socialize during a yoga class. Frigo is working with NISRA to make the program a monthly event that soon could include more fitness and wellness activities. The deadline to apply is Jan. 25. Registration is $25 a family. Interested people can contact NISRA’s Maribeth Hutchinson at 815-459-0737. Frigo sat down with reporter Stephen Di Benedetto to discuss her family’s experi-

the Frigo lowdown n Children? Sam, 13; Anthony, 11; and Analise, 9

n Occupation? Business devel-

opment at MJ Court Reporting in Algonquin. The former Grafton Township clerk also worked in Cook County’s circuit ence with autism and the upcoming family program.

Di Benedetto: How has your family gone about coping with autism since Anthony was diagnosed? Frigo: First all, finding out

your child has autism is very devastating, very stressful on the marriage. The divorce rates in special-needs family is in the 90th percentile. I’m actually a single mom. It affected our family so much. I pretty much did everything I could. I got him early intervention before he turned 3, when he was diagnosed. He had developmental therapy, speech therapy and occupational therapy in the home, and we just did everything very swiftly and as much as possible. ... It’s hands-on with Anthony. He’s got a whole schedule, and he follows that

court for 14 years. n Favorite family activity? Swimming at Centegra Health Bridge Fitness Center n Favorite activities with Anthony? Swimming, bicycling, bowling, walking and shopping real well. Honestly, he does real well. I see that by what I implement for him, in his schooling, activities and life skills.

Di Benedetto: How have the experiences you’ve gone through with Anthony influence this program you’re developing? Frigo: Everyone is affected

by the autism – the caregiver, the siblings. I thought what a better way to bring forward something positive that we can all do together. Because with the autism or any type of special needs, you’re running back and forth. You are taking them to therapy. You’re trying to get the other kids involved and meanwhile, in the interim, you are trying to take care of yourself and work and try to take care of a family. I feel it’s so instrumental to take care

of yourself, as a caregiver, and what a better way to have everything all in one, where you can bring the siblings, and the special-needs kids are attended to.

Di Benedetto: Is the essential point of this program to get everyone in the same room together? Frigo: Yes. The siblings can relate because they either have a brother or sister who has special needs. The caregivers definitely. You need some moral support. What a better way to exercise and talk about things and get some stress off of you? You don’t have to go to 10 different places to drop everyone off and pick one up. It’s a nice social outlet.

Di Benedetto: What do you hope families will take from this program? Frigo: My primary goal is

to get Anthony into a posture that would enable him to have a healthy, fruitful and enriched life, as well as the other families and other children who have special needs. I have a lot more in store for the future, some more programs to implement. This is near and dear to my heart.

PR coach, student save janitor’s life By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO

sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com

CRYSTAL LAKE – All Corky Card had with him was years of school-sponsored emergency response training when he saw Daniel Pauling lose consciousness inside the Prairie Ridge High School gym on Friday. The men’s varsity basketball coach felt odd being called a lifesaver, crediting his training instead for saving the life of Pauling. The 59-year-old janitor was clinically dead from a sudden heart attack Friday before being revived by Card. “A lot of things went well at the right time,” Card said. “You never know where you are going to be, and you never know what’s going to happen. It was important to have that training.” The story about what transpired to save Pauling’s life inside the Prairie Ridge gym is a classic tale of good Samaritans springing into action during a urgent crisis. Students and parents had long left the school for the night, following an evening slate of basketball games. But Card, who has a penchant for forgetting his keys, misplaced them again Friday. His wife went to look for the keys inside the gym and as Card was following behind, he heard his wife ask Pauling if he was feeling well. Pauling was responsive but sweating heavily while resting on the bleachers, Card said. The two have known each other since Pauling started working at the high school a few months ago. Card was checking Pauling’s pulse

when the janitor’s eyes started to roll back. He collapsed into Card’s arm. Meanwhile, Alex Koss, a Prairie Ridge senior, entered the gym to look for his iPhone that he misplaced during the evening’s events. Koss, who dons the school’s mascot outfit, had done a performance for the game, and he thought he left his phone in the gym. Card yelled at Koss to get the defibrillator at the other end of the gym. The three charged the device and shocked Pauling once. “I pushed the button, and we stood back, and he jumped like you see in all the movies,” Koss said. Using his school training, Card then performed CPR. giving mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and chest compressions. Moments later, Pauling was revived. The paramedics arrived shortly after to take Pauling to Centegra Hospital – McHenry. Card rode in the ambulance with Pauling and didn’t leave the hospital until early Saturday morning, said Jeff Pauling, who is Daniel Pauling’s son. Card and his wife came back the next day to check on Card’s coworker. “Just the fact that the coach of the school reacted that way, astonished me,” Jeff Pauling, 26, said. “He saved my dad’s life. We can never thank him for what he has done.” Daniel Pauling has been recovering smoothly at Centegra. He is expected to be released today, Jeff Pauling said.

8STATE BRIEFS Chicago-area RTA: United running ‘sham’ business

CHICAGO – A transportation agency plans to file a lawsuit today alleging that United Airlines is falsely claiming to buy huge amounts of jet fuel out of a small, rural Illinois office that doesn’t even have a computer to avoid paying tens of millions of dollars in taxes in Chicago, where the purchases are allegedly being made. The Regional Transportation Authority alleges United Aviation Fuels Corp., a subsidy of United Airlines, has operated a “sham” office in the DeKalb County community of Sycamore since 2001 after reaching an agreement to pay the town more than $300,000 a year – a fraction of what it would have owed in sales taxes in Chicago and Cook County.

Reddit co-founder dies in N.Y. weeks before trial

NEW YORK – The family of a Reddit co-founder who committed suicide weeks before he was to go on trial on federal charges that he stole millions of scholarly articles is blaming prosecutors for his death. Aaron Swartz hanged himself in his Brooklyn apartment Friday night, aaron his family and Swartz authorities said. The 26-year-old had fought to make online content free to the public and as a teenager helped create RSS, a family of Web feed formats used to gather updates from blogs, news headlines, audio and video for users. In 2011, he was charged with stealing millions of scientific journals from a computer archive at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in an attempt to make them freely available. He had pleaded not guilty, and his federal trial was to begin next month.

Pension debt costs hurt Ill. By Sara BUrNEtt

The Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD – Stacy Goodar was in her first year at a private hospitality management school when she learned she would lose several thousand dollars in state financial aid. Although she qualified for the need-based scholarship, the 22-year-old – like about 18,000 other students statewide – was cut off because Illinois’ grant program ran out of money. “It’s why a lot of students drop out,” Goodar said. “If you can’t afford it, what else are you going to do?” The college scholarships are just one casualty of the multibillion-dollar Illinois pension crisis continuing to wreak havoc with the state’s budget, siphoning cash away from areas such as education, public safety and human services and jacking up the cost of borrowing money for the state and its cities, counties and school districts.

The financial crunch will only worsen after lawmakers failed to enact reforms in the legislative session that ended last week. If they don’t pass a bill before the next session ends at the end of May, the state’s unfunded pension liability – currently $96 billion – will have ballooned by another $2.45 billion. Behind the nearly unfathomable numbers and often impenetrable debate at the Capitol, real people and programs are feeling the impact. There’s less money for poor people to get medical care. More public employees are losing their jobs. Class sizes are surging. And taxpayers are paying more when their cities borrow money, thanks to what’s become known around New York bond houses as “the Illinois effect.” Illinois’ annual pension fund payment is expected to increase by about $1 billion to almost $7 billion in the fis-

cal year that starts in July. That’s more than 16 percent of the state’s general funds budget, up from 6 percent in 2008. As the share of money for pensions has grown, other areas have shrunk. In 2008, education received 30 percent of the general funds budget and health care accounted for 28 percent. This year, 26 percent went to education and 24 percent to health care. Budget projections released Friday by Gov. Pat Quinn’s office predict education funding will be cut by about $400 million in the next fiscal year. The forecast also calls for cuts to economic development programs and public safety. “We’ve been living nothing but pain for the last several years in state government, and we know that we’ll continue living nothing but pain until we solve this,” said state Sen. Daniel Biss, D-Evanston, a sponsor of reform legislation.

with Edward G. Dolezal, M.D. NEW “EXFOLIATION GLAUCOMA” RISK SEEN

Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that leads to optic nerve damage and consequent irreversible vision loss. In many cases, damage of the nerve that carries visual information to the brain is the result of increased inner-eye (intraocular) pressure. In the case of “exfoliation glaucoma,”the damaging rise in intraocular pressure can be traced to tiny flakes of whitish material that build on the eye lens. As this dandruff-like material is rubbed off the lens by the iris, it combines with pigment from the iris and clogs the drain (trabecular meshwork) where inner eye fluid (aqueous humor) normally exits the eye. According to recent research, drinking three cups of coffee daily increases the risk of exfoliation glaucoma by 34%. Glaucoma is a disease of the optic nerve - the part of the eye that carries the images we see to the brain. When damage to the optic nerve fibers occurs, blind spots develop. Research suggests a link between exfoliation glaucoma and drinking coffee. Whether you drink coffee or tea, get screened for glaucoma regularly because early detection leads to successful management of the disease. Please call CRYSTAL LAKE OPHTHALMOLOGY at 815-455-4222 to schedule a comprehensive eye examination. Our customized treatment plans can include medicated eye drops, laser treatment, or minimally invasive outpatient surgery. We’re located at 280-A Memorial Court. P.S. The link between caffeinated coffee drinking and exfoliation glaucoma should be noted by those most at risk for developing this type of glaucoma - those of Scandinavian descent.

You might not be able to play golf, work, or even sit in the car for a 30-minute drive. It’s almost impossible for anyone around you to understand how you feel. You can’t remember the last time you even had a restful night’s sleep.

I look forward to helping you get rid of your pain so you can start living a healthier, more joyful life.

Do You Have Any of the Following?

Sincerely, Dr. Alok RamTrivedi, Parikh,D. D.C. Dr. C.

• Sharp pains in the back of the leg • Lower Back Pain • Herniated/bulging discs • Numbness in your arms or legs • Shooting hip or thigh pain • Muscle spasm, sprains & strains

IT’S NOT JUST ABOUT THE PAIN. IT’S ABOUT HOW IT AFFECTS YOUR LIFESTYLE. Here’s what you’ll get... • An in-depth consultation about your health and well-being where I will listen... really listen... to the details of your case.

If you’ve suffered from any of these annoying conditions, you may have “Sciatica”.

• A complete neuromuscular examination.

Sciatica is a compression of the sciatic nerve, usually by an L4 or L5 disc herniation. As you know, sciatica can be a very painful problem, even crippling at times.

• A full set of specialized x-rays to determine if a spinal problem is contributing to your pain or symptoms. (NOTE: These would normally cost you at least $100.)

Nothing’s worse than feeling great mentally, but physically feeling held back from life because your back or sciatica hurts and the pain just won’t go away! Fortunately, if you are suffering from any of these problems, they may be relieved or eliminated by non-surgical spinal decompression.

• You’ll get to see everything first hand and find out if this amazing treatment will be your pain solution, as it has been for so many other patients. I’ll answer all your most probing questions about our pain-free evaluation and what it can do for you.

“What’s The Chance This Will Work For Me?” A medical study found patients went from moderately painful to almost no pain with decompression treatments. Those who took pain pills improved less than 5%. - Am Society of Anesthesiologists, 2006 Chicago, IL Another study presented at the American Academy of Pain Management in 2007 showed... “Patients reported a mean 88.9% improvement in back pain and better function... No patient required any invasive therapies (e.g. epidural injections, surgery).” These are just two studies out of a dozen done in the last few years, all showing promising results. Here’s the point of all these studies: spinal decompression has a high success rate with helping disc herniations, sciatica, and back pain.

The appointment will not take long at all, and you won’t be sitting in a waiting room all day, either. And the best part about it is...

No Dangerous Drugs, No Invasive Procedures, And No Painful Exercises

What Will Your Pain Feel Like 1 Month From Today? One of the biggest myths about pain is that it goes away all by itself, without any treatment. A May 1998 study in the British Medical Journal proved this myth false, showing that 75% of back pain sufferers who do nothing about it will have either pain or disability 12 months later. Let’s face it, if the pain hasn’t gone away by now, it’s not likely to disappear on its own. Life’s too short to live in pain like this. Call today and soon I’ll be giving you the green light to have fun again. 724-431-4444 847-658-9544

“ Before treatment on the Spinal Decompression Table I could not put very much weight on my left leg. I could not walk or stand for long periods of time and had tremendous pain in my lower back and down the left leg. Since having treatments the pain is gone! I can walk and put weight on my left leg. Would highly recommend and have told friends about my results.”

Spinal decompression treatments are very gentle. In fact, I even catch a few patients sleeping during sessions every once in a while. You’ll simply lie on your stomach or back, whichever is comfortable, and then a specialized belt is gently put around your waist. We’ll set the machine to focus on your problem area - then the advanced decompression computer system will do the rest.

“But I feel fine - as long as I take my pain pills.”

This means in just a matter of weeks you could be back on the golf course, enjoying your love life, or traveling again.

The Single Most Important Solution To Your Sciatica And Back Pain It’s time for you to find out if spinal decompression will be your sciatic pain solution. For 10 days only, $25 $47 will get you all the services for which I normally charge new patients $257! What does this offer include? Everything.

• A thorough analysis of your exam and x-ray findings so we can start mapping out your plain to being pain-free.

P.S. The only real question to ask yourself is this...

There’s a time to use pain medications, BUT not before seeking a natural way to correct the CAUSE of the problem! Spinal decompression just may be the answer you’ve been looking for. Ask yourself... after taking all these pain medications and playing the “wait and see game”, maybe for years... are you any better off? Call and tell the receptionist you’d like to come in for the Special Decompression Evaluation before January January 17, 24,2013. 2013.

Disconnect between violence, TV The ASSOCIATED PRESS

PASADENA, Calif. – If there’s any soul-searching among top TV executives about onscreen violence contributing to real-life tragedies such as the Connecticut school shooting, it isn’t readily apparent. All say the horrors of Newtown and Aurora, Colo., rocked them. But during a series of meetings with reporters here over the past 10 days, none offered concrete examples of how it is changing what they put on the air, or if that is necessary. “I’m not a psychologist, so I’m not sure you can make the leap [that] a show about serial killers has caused the sort of problems with violence in our country,” said Robert Greenblatt, who put “Dexter” on the air when he ran Showtime and now is overseeing development of a series on the notorious creep Hannibal Lecter for NBC. “There are

A scene is shown from the FX original series, “Sons of Anarchy.” TV executives who spoke to the media about the tragic shootings in Newtown, Conn., and Aurora, Colo., say the events bothered them, but none offered concrete examples of how it is changing what they put on the air. many, many other factors, from mental illness to guns.” All of those points are being considered by Vice President Joe Biden as he prepares to make recommendations Tuesday to President Obama on ways to curb violence. When entertainment

executives met with Biden in Washington on Friday, makers of blood-spurting video games like “Call of Duty” and “Mortal Kombat” dominated attention. In theaters, “Texas Chainsaw 3-D” dominated box office receipts during its first week.

Will longer school year help or hurt U.S. students?

Television’s biggest influence is its omnipresence; the average American watches more than four hours of TV a day. In recent days, only FX President John Landgraf said he was in favor of further study about any correlation between entertainment and real violence. Previous studies have been mixed. Landgraf has sons aged 15, 12 and 9 and said he doesn’t let them play video games in which the player is shooting. Everything the entertainment industry does should be fair game in a discussion about violence, he said. But he pointed out that the zombie series “Walking Dead” and brutally violent “Sons of Anarchy” are both very popular in England and that country has far fewer gun murders than the United States. The availability of powerful assault weapons and ammunition are most responsible for the difference, he said.

Newtown weighs fate of Connecticut school By DAVE COLLINS

The Associated Press NEWTOWN, Conn. – Talk about Sandy Hook Elementary School is turning from last month’s massacre to the future, with differing opinions on whether students and staff should return to the building where a gunman killed 20 first-graders and six educators. Some Newtown residents say the school should be demolished and a memorial built on the property in honor of those killed Dec. 14. Others believe the school should be renovated and the areas where the killings occurred removed. That’s what happened at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colo., after the 1999 mass shooting. Those appear to be the two prevailing proposals as the community begins discussing the school’s fate. A pub-

lic meeting on the building’s future drew about 200 people to Newtown High School on Sunday afternoon, with another meeting set for Friday. Town officials also are planning private meetings with the victims’ families to get their input. Sunday’s meeting was an emotional gathering with many speaking in favor of keeping the school. Although opinions were mixed, most agreed that the Sandy Hook children and teachers should stay together. They’ve been moved to a school building about seven miles away in a neighboring town that has been renamed Sandy Hook Elementary School. “I have two children who had everything taken from them,” said Audrey Bart, who has two children at Sandy Hook who weren’t injured in the shooting.

8NATION BRIEF Priest, ex-teacher face sex trial in Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA – A troubled policeman’s son who accuses two Roman Catholic priests and a teacher of raping him during boyhood is set to testify at a Philadelphia trial this week – and have his startling claims challenged for the first time. The young man, identified by the pseudonym Billy in a 2011 grand jury report, testified in a landmark priest-abuse case last year. But in a strategic move, lawyers for the church official on trial never cross-examined him. Monsignor William Lynn’s lawyers doubted Billy’s story, but they feared their questions would open the door for jurors to learn that one of the accused priests had taken a plea deal. Lynn later became the first U.S.

church official ever convicted over his handling of abuse complaints. He’s serving three to six years in prison for endangering Billy’s safety by moving the Rev. Edward Avery, a suspected pedophile, to St. Jerome’s Parish. “I thought I did something wrong – and it’s a priest,” Billy testified about his 1999 encounter with Avery. “I didn’t think anyone would believe me.” The other two rape suspects go on trial today, and Billy’s credibility – under potentially fierce cross-examination – may determine the outcome. The Rev. Charles Engelhardt, an Oblate of St. Francis, and Bernard Shero, Billy’s sixthgrade teacher, have pleaded not guilty to rape, indecent assault, child endangerment and other charges.

Get a New You This Year!

Did your kids moan that winter break was way too short as you got them ready for the first day back in school? They might get their wish of more holiday time off under proposals catching on around the country to lengthen the school year. But there’s a catch: a much shorter summer vacation. E d u c a t i o n Arne Duncan Secretary Arne Duncan, a chief proponent of the longer school year, said American students have fallen behind the world academically. “Whether educators have more time to enrich instruction or students have more time to learn how to play an instrument and write computer code, adding meaningful inschool hours is a critical investment that better prepares children to be successful in the 21st century,” he said in December when five states announced they would add at least 300 hours to the academic calendar in some schools beginning this year. The three-year pilot project will affect about 20,000 students in 40 schools in Colorado, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York and Tennessee. Proponents argue that too much knowledge is lost while American kids wile away the summer months apart from their lessons. The National Summer Learning Association cites de-

cades of research that shows students’ test scores are higher in the same subjects at the beginning of the summer than at the end. “The research is very clear about that,” said Charles Ballinger, executive director emeritus of the National Association for Year-Round School in San Diego. “The only ones who don’t lose are the upper 10 to 15 percent of the student body. Those tend to be gifted, college-bound, they’re natural learners who will learn wherever they are.” Supporters also say a longer school year would give poor children more access to school-provided healthy meals. Yet the movement has plenty of detractors – so many that Ballinger sometimes feels like the Grinch trying to steal Christmas. “I had a parent at one meeting say, ‘I want my child to lie on his back in the grass watching the clouds in the sky during the day and the moon and stars at night,’ ” Ballinger recalled. “I thought, ‘Oh, my. Most kids do that for two, three, maybe four days, then say, ‘What’s next?’ ” But opponents aren’t simply dreamy romantics. Besides the outdoor opportunities for pent up youngsters, they say families already are beholden to the school calendar for three seasons out of four. Summer breaks, they say, are needed to provide an academic respite for students’ overwrought minds, and to provide time with family and the flexibility to travel and study favorite subjects in more depth.

‘Argo’ takes top prize at Globes By DAVID GERMAIN The Associated Press

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. –The Iran hostage thriller “Argo” was a surprise bestdrama winner at Sunday’s Golden Globes, beating out the Civil War epic “Lincoln,” which had emerged as an awards-season favorite. “Argo” also claimed the directing prize for Ben Affleck, a prize that normally bodes well for an Academy Award win – except he missed out on an Oscar nomination this time. Affleck’s now in an unusual position during Hollywood’s long awards season, taking home the top filmmaking trophy at the secondhighest film honors knowing he does not have a shot at an Oscar. The night left “Argo” taking home the top prize at the Globes, but standing as a longshot for best picture at the Feb. 24 Oscars, where films almost never win if their directors are not nominated. In a breathless, rapid-fire speech, Affleck gushed over the names of other nominees presenter Halle Berry had read off: Steven Spielberg for “Lincoln,” Ang Lee for “Life of Pi,” Kathryn Bigelow for “Zero Dark Thirty” and Quentin Tarantino for “Django Unchained.” “Look, I don’t care what the award is. When they put your name next to the names she just read off, it’s an extraordinary thing in your

Thousands march to protest Russia’s new adoption ban By LYNN BERRY

Ben Affleck with his award Sunday for best director for “Argo” during the 70th annual Golden Globe Awards at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif. life,” Affleck said. “Les Miserables” was named best musical or comedy, while Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway claimed acting prizes. Besides the three wins for “Les Miserables” and two for “Argo,” the show was a mixed bag, with awards spreads around a number of films. “Lincoln” came in leading with seven nominations but lost all but one, for Daniel Day-Lewis as best actor in the title role of “Lincoln.” “If I had this on a timeshare basis with my wonderful gifted colleagues, I might just hope to keep it for one day

of the year, and I’d be happy with that,” said Day-Lewis, who previously won a Globe for “There Will Be Blood” and is a two-time Oscar winner with a strong shot at a third. “Zero Dark Thirty” star Jessica Chastain won the Globe for dramatic actress as a CIA agent obsessively pursuing Bin Laden. Other acting prizes went to Jennifer Lawrence as best musical or comedy actress for the oddball romance “Silver Linings Playbook” and Christoph Waltz as supporting actor for the slave-revenge tale “Django Unchained.” “Les Miserables,” the mu-

sical based on Victor Hugo’s classic novel earned Jackman the Globe for musical or comedy actor as tragic hero Jean Valjean. Hathaway won supporting actress as a single mom forced into prostitution. “Thank you for this lovely blunt object that I will forevermore use as a weapon against self-doubt,” Hathaway said. Jackman was a bit hoarse from the flu, but his Globe win seemed to be the right antidote. “I was kicking myself for not getting the flu shot, but it appears that you don’t need one. I feel great,” Jackman said.

MOSCOW – Thousands of people marched through Moscow on Sunday to protest Russia’s new law banning Americans from adopting Russian children, a far bigger number than expected in a sign that outrage over the ban has breathed some life into the dispirited anti-Kremlin opposition movement. Shouting “shame on the scum,” protesters carried posters of President Vladimir Putin and members of Russia’s parliament who overwhelmingly voted for the law last month. Up to 20,000 took part in the demonstration on a frigid, gray afternoon. The adoption ban has stoked the anger of the same middle-class, urban professionals who swelled the protest ranks last winter, when more than 100,000 people turned out for rallies to demand free elections and an end to Putin’s 12 years in power. Since Putin began a third presidential term in May, the protests have flagged as the opposition leaders have struggled to provide direction and capitalize on the broad discontent. Opponents of the adop-

tion ban argue it victimizes children to make a political point. Eager to take advantage of this anger, the anti-Kremlin opposition has played the ban as further evidence that Putin and his parliament have lost the moral right to rule Russia. The Kremlin, however, has used the adoption controversy to further its efforts to discredit the opposition as unpatriotic and in the pay of the Americans. Sunday’s march may prove only a blip on what promises to be a long road for the protest movement, especially in the face of Kremlin efforts to stifle dissent. But it was a reunion of what has become known as Moscow’s creative class, whose sarcastic wit was once again on display Sunday. “Parliament deputies to orphanages, Putin to an old people’s home,” read one poster. Another showed Putin with the words “For a Russia without Herod.” Putin’s critics have likened him to King Herod, who ruled at the time of Jesus Christ’s birth and who the Bible says ordered the massacre of Jewish children to avoid being supplanted by the newborn king of the Jews.

Owners wanted to make arcade more family friendly, send a better message • GAMES

Continued from page A1

that playing violent games leads to aggressive behavior and increases one’s propensity for violence. Others believe video games are used as scapegoats without addressing the real causes of violent behavior. Battaglia and Slota don’t claim to know the answer, but felt it was important to make their arcade more familyfriendly. They played every game in their arcade and settled on 12 games they felt were too violent for young children, including “Revolution X,” “Crisis Zone” and “The House of the Dead.” The games are unplugged and moved to the side of the store. They will be sold. Battaglia knows that removing overly violent games won’t stop gun violence, but he believes his arcade should be sending a better message. “We just thought we’d rather be part of the solution than part of the problem,” he said.

The debaTe on video games

The “problem,” as Battaglia sees it, is the increase in mass shootings in the United States. There have been at least 62 mass shootings in the U.S. since 1982, 25 of which have occurred since 2006, according to a study done by Mother Jones. Vice President Joe Biden met last week with representatives from the video game industry as he drafts the Obama administration’s response to the Sandy Hook shootings, which is expected to be released this week. Christopher Ferguson, associate professor of psychology and criminal justice at Texas A&M International University, believes video games have nothing to do with real-world violence. “There’snoevidencetolink video games and violence,” Ferguson said. “There’s a moral panic after something like Sandy Hook. People are desperate for answers. It’s a natural reaction.” Ferguson points to studies in journals such as Computers in Human Behavior, Applied Cognitive Psychology, and his own study in the Journal of Youth and Adolescence, that found that video game use is not an indicator of violent behavior. He said research done by ChildStats.gov shows violent crimes committed by youth ages 12 to 17 is at a 40-year low, while the popularity of violent video games has risen. And he compared the United States with the Netherlands and South Korea, both of which have higher video game use per capita yet have lower violent crime rates. “People want a boogie man,

It’s a bad direction for the national conversation.” Melissa Henson, director of communications and public education at the Parent Television Council, disagreed with Ferguson’s findings and commended No Limit Arcade. “I applaud them,” she said. “Young children should not have such easy access to violent media.” In an awareness campaign in California, the Parent Television Council, an organization that provides information to parents about potentially harmful media, presented research from psychologists who found that video games could be a contributing factor to violent behavior. “The same areas of the brain are stimulated, whether it’s from real violence or video game violence,” she said, citing evidence from Ohio State psychology professor Brad Bushman, whose study found that violent video games increase aggressive thoughts, angry feelings, physiological arousal such as increased heart rate, and aggressive behavior. “Playing violent video games causes more violent behavior,” Bushman said. “It doesn’t mean you will be a school shooter, but it can predict if you are more likely to get into fights.”

ReTuRning To RooTs

Part of the reason Battaglia and Slota removed the games had to do with their clientele, which is mostly dads and young kids – not the high school and young adult crowd they expected when the arcade opened. “With ‘The House of the Dead,’ the graphics have lots of blood and guts. It was a little too much,” Battaglia said. “If you’ve got some 5-year-old that’s scared of the dark to begin with, and you’ve got something coming at you swinging knives and blowing his brains up, that’s a little too much.” No Limit began as an 1980s arcade with games such as “Pac-Man,” “Frogger” and “Donkey Kong” but added

Official says Congress can pay its bills or fail to act • DEBT

It could shortchange Social Security recipients and other people, including veteran and the poor, who rely on government programs. It could force the Treasury to contemplate selling government assets, a step considered but rejected in 2011. In short, the Treasury would have to create its own form of triage, creating a priority list of its most crucial obligations, from interest payments to debtors to benefits to vulnerable Americans. “It may be that somewhere down the line someone will challenge what the administration did in that moment, but in the moment, who’s going to stop them?” asked Douglas Holtz-Eakin, a former director of the Congressional Budget Office. “I pray we never have to find out how imaginative they are.” In such a debt crisis, the

president would have to decide what laws he wants to break. Does he breach the borrowing limit without a congressional OK? Does he ignore spending commitments required by law? In a letter to Obama on Friday, Senate Democratic leaders urged him to consider taking any “lawful steps that ensure that America does not break its promises and trigger a global economic crisis – without congressional approval, if necessary.” The White House has resisted that path. It has rejected recommendations that it invoke a provision in the 14th Amendment to the Constitution that states that “the validity of the public debt of the United States ... shall not be questioned.” “There are only two options to deal with the debt limit: Congress can pay its bills or they can fail to act and put the nation into default,” White House press secretary Jay Carney said. “Congress needs to do its job.”

the more violent games as the years passed. With the removal of those games, the store is going back to its roots – and sending the right message to kids, Battaglia said. “[Violent games] start desensitizing them,” Battaglia said. “When I see the little kid with the glare in his eye and he’s shooting, then turns to his buddy and says, ‘You’re dead, you’re dead,’ God forbid he goes home still filled with that adrenaline and accidentally comes across daddy’s gun … and picks it up and actually shoots it.” Diane Warden, co-owner of Arcade Adventures in Crystal Lake, doesn’t believe violent games cause violent behavior. “I don’t feel that’s an issue,” she said. “When people play video games, they understand they’re not real.” Warden, whose shop buys and sells vintage arcade games, said it’s up to the parents to decide what material is too inappropriate for their children. “If I don’t want my child playing violent games, he won’t play violent games. He’s going to play ‘Pac-Man’ instead,” she said. No Limit Arcade hasn’t eliminated shooting games. It still has “Buck Hunter,” an animal hunting game, and “Police Trainer,” which shoots at targets. Battaglia said the customer reaction so far has been mostly positive, and parents have thanked them for making it a more family-oriented environment. “When [parents] are thinking of family and fun, they’re not thinking of something that’s going to affect their child forever. We didn’t want that image.”

8bRieFs Police shoot armed man in Calif. movie theater

SAN DIEGO – Moviegoers at a San Diego theater ducked for cover as police stormed in during a movie and shot and wounded an armed domestic violence suspect pretending to be a patron. The lights came on suddenly during a Saturday matinee screening of “Les Miserables” at Reading Cinemas Carmel Mountain in northern San Diego and two officers who had been going theater-to-theater spotted their suspect among the approximately 15 moviegoers, most of whom quickly hit the floor and started inching toward exits, police and witnesses said. The suspect, Tom Billodeaux of Escondido, 20, at first obeyed the officer who approached him and put his empty hands up, but then “lowered them into his lap ... raised a handgun, and turned it toward the officer,” police said in a statement. The officer, who has been with the department for about 18 months, shot Billodeaux in

the chest and arm, police said. No one else, including the domestic violence victim in the initial incident, was hurt, police Lt. Ernie Herbert said.

egypt’s mubarak to get new trial over killings

CAIRO – An Egyptian appeals court Sunday overturned Hosni Mubarak’s life sentence and ordered a retrial of the ousted leader in the killing of hundreds of protesters, a ruling likely to further unsettle a nation still reeling from political turmoil and complicate the struggle of his Islamist successor to assert his authority. The court’s decision put the spotlight back on the highly divisive issue of justice for Mubarak and his top security officers, who also were ordered retried, two years after the revolution that toppled him. The ruling poses a distraction for President Mohammed Morsi as he tries to restore law and order, grapple with a wrecked economy and deal with the aftermath of the worst political crisis since

Mubarak’s ouster.

Thousands protest gay marriage in Paris

PARIS – Holding aloft ancient flags and young children, hundreds of thousands of people converged Sunday on the Eiffel Tower to protest the French president’s plan to legalize gay marriage and thus allow same-sex couples to adopt and conceive children. The opposition to President Francois Hollande’s plan has underscored divisions among the secular-but-Catholic French, especially more traditional rural areas versus urban enclaves. But while polls show the majority of French still support legalizing gay marriage, that backing gets more lukewarm when children come into play. The protest march started at three points across Paris, filling boulevards throughout the city as demonstrators walked 3 miles to the grounds of France’s most recognizable monument. Paris police estimated the crowd at 340,000.

MCCD used communitywide survey to find out what residents would like to see • MCCD

Continued from page A1 Additional parking space could be created at Rush Creek by clearing out brush on the east side of the parking lot if soil tests indicate that it could handle the traffic. That would allow smallto mid-sized groups – and all their accompanying rigs – to meet at a park at the same time, something that now is difficult, Kremer said. There are more changes the district could pursue, including some that already are in the district’s master plans, but these are some the staff could start on this spring. For example, a horse trail was in the master plan at the Brookdale Conservation Area, but the plan was never implemented because the area practically doubled in size not long after its inception and the district planned to update the master plan. Staff would not recommend, though, pursuing a south loop in Glacial Park

that was proposed by the horse club because it would trek through an area not currently used by people. Glacial Park also is meant to provide a habitat for animals, birds and plants, Kremer said. Kremer just needs marching orders from the board on whether to pursue the “easy” options and if they should take the next step in developing some of the more complicated proposals. “All of this comes down to priorities,” he said. “All of this takes time.” Vern Scacci, president of the McHenry County Horse Club, thought the recommendations were a good first step and plans on working with the district to make sure not just the “easy” steps are pursued, he said. “I know we can’t get everything we hope for, but we want to see the trails enhanced,” said Scacci, who lives in an unincorporated area near Woodstock. The McHenry County Conservation District has just wrapped up a commu-

nitywide survey to find out what residents would like to see. Staff plans on presenting the results at the Thursday meeting. The Citizens Advisory Committee also just submitted a report on outdoor recreational trends that identifies hiking, bird watching and fishing as other common trends. This information will help the board put priorities on projects, including expanding the district’s horse trails, Executive Director Elizabeth Kessler said. Trustee Matthew Ewertowski also questioned how much some of the proposals would cost. Some other counties sell bridle tags that riders must have in order to use the trails, Kremer said, adding that he’s also looking into grants. Scacci pays for bridle tags in two counties, Winnebago and Lake. The difference, though, is that these counties have substantial trail systems that are open year round, he said.

Public owed drone details

Critics of the Obama administration’s expanded use of pilotless drone aircraft to kill alleged terrorists abroad have been assured that the strikes are justified and legal. Yet, when The New York Times and the American Civil Liberties Union asked for detailed evidence of the government’s legal arguments, they were told that is a national security secret. Recently, a federal judge ruled in the administration’s favor, though even she expressed exasperation: “I can find no way around the thicket of laws and precedents that effectively allow the executive branch of our government to proclaim as perfectly lawful certain actions that seem on their face incompatible with our Constitution and laws, while keeping the reasons for their conclusions a secret.” This is hard to take from a president who, as a candidate, promised to do a better job than the previous occupant of the White House in making important government information available to the American people. It is also hard to take from a president who has kept in place many of the war-on-terror tactics he found troubling or offensive when they were practiced by President George W. Bush. The federal FOI Act is shot through with loopholes, and the administration didn’t have to do much heavy lifting to slip through several of them in this case. The question is why the administration insists on keeping secret legal opinions that spell out the arguments for the legality and constitutionality of these drone strikes.Why would they keep confidential the formal arguments in favor of drone killings? Government lawyers cited the standard national security arguments for protecting its sources and methods, but they just sound like so much legal boiler plate. The president obviously believes the attacks are morally and legally justified. He should release all legal justifications produced by his administration or explain to the American people why that cannot be shared with them. The Des Moines Register

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Alcohol and violence

To the Editor: This is in response to the Jan. 6 story about Turning Point in the Local & Region section. Following what I thought was an excellent article was an invitation to join a wine-tasting fundraiser sponsored by Turning Point. As a child growing up, I saw domestic violence firsthand in my home. Much of the violence could be traced back to alcohol abuse. As a child, I know what it was like to be beaten bloody by an alcoholic brother for no real reason at all. I would not want to relive my childhood! As an adult, I have spent more than 50 straight years in volunteer work. Most of that has been working with kids. However, I have spent about nine years with the homeless outreach, PADS. I see alcohol abuse is a constant problem in the work I do. I see a real problem with an organization that works against domestic violence and uses a wine-tasting event to raise funds! This is wrong. Turning Point should not be promoting anything that would make alcohol consumption appear acceptable. I hope they carefully consider how they raise funds in the future! Steve Browne

Two Crystal Lake issues

To the Editor: I am killing two birds with one stone here with two issues that pertain to the city of Crystal Lake. First, the letter to the editor that addressed the lack of planning in

having a bike lane on Rakow Road (Jan. 1) really hit the nail on the head. Am I going to ride a bike in six lanes of traffic? Cars already don’t pay attention to bikes. You would have to have a death wish to ride on Rakow. Lack of planning to not have a walking/bike path in Three Oaks? You bet. Second, having lived on Porter Avenue off McHenry Avenue for some 40 years, and having been almost hit turning onto my own street four or five times, I need to ask why the parking lane that goes from Pierson Street almost down to Barlina Road has not been repainted. People are bad enough about disregarding it when it is newly painted. Just ask how many drive right in that parking lane as of right now. Isn’t McHenry Avenue a two lane? Nope, folks, it is not. Just try to make a left-hand turn onto Lake, Porter or Broadway and watch your right bumper to see who is riding in that lane that is illegal to drive in. Now with the paint faded so badly, it is even worse. Patti Gibson Crystal Lake

Tired of NRA rhetoric

To the Editor: On Dec. 20, the vice president of the National Rifle Association appeared on television and informed the country that the NRA has 4 million members. As the voice of these members, he called for the immediate stationing of armed guards in every schoolhouse in America. He implied that because the NRA has 4 million members, it has a clear mandate to demand of Congress that it follow the legisla-

How to sound off We welcome original letters on public issues. Letters must include the author’s full name, home address and day and evening telephone numbers. We limit letters to 250 words and one published letter every 30 days. All letters are subject to

tive edicts of the NRA. As of today, the population of the United States is about 315 million people. Upon doing the math, one discovers that the NRA represents 1.2 percent of the U.S. population. This is not a percentage that should mandate anything. Why does Congress bend to the wishes of the NRA? The NRA does not represent the majority of Americans. Does the NRA buy the votes of our legislators with re-election money? Does every congressman or senator carry an NRA membership card? These are questions one does not like to entertain. But given recent behavior of our legislators (national, state, and local) one begins to wonder. I, for one, am sick of the bellicose rhetoric of the National Rifle Association. Our senators and representatives should stand and deliver thoughtful and sensible gun legislation that follows and benefits the majority of American people. William C. Stone Crystal Lake

Difficult to understand

(Jan. 6). The writer believes that outlawing automatic and assaulttype weapons is “the commonsense thing to do.” Obviously, the writer is uninformed or chooses to ignore fact. By law, civilians have been denied ownership of automatic (i.e. machine guns) weapons since the 1930s. As far as assault-type weapons (also, actually, machine guns), only the military has assault weapons. These weapons also are, by law, denied ownership to civilians. Just because someone has what looks like an assault weapon doesn’t make it an assault weapon. It doesn’t matter if the manufacturer makes it look like one or what attachments the owner puts on it, it’s still not a machine gun or an assault rifle. I find it difficult to understand how good people, who mean well, can look at the crime statistics in a place such as Chicago and think that taking the guns from law-abiding citizens is somehow going to make for a safer environment. The lower crime rate of right-to-carry states compared with Chicago shows a more common-sense approach. Amen to that! John A Deegan Huntley

Treaty of Paris ends American Revolution On this day (Jan. 14) in 1784, the Continental Congress, meeting in Philadelphia, ratified the Treaty of Paris of 1783, which formally brought to a happy conclusion, especially for the war-weary, debt-ridden American patriots, the lengthy eight-year Revolutionary War against Great Britain. The Continental Congress, in September 1779, had appointed John Adams as its sole negotiator. However, in 1781, partly in deference to French Foreign Minister Comte de Vergennes’s dislike of the argumentative Adams, Congress added the names of Benjamin Franklin, John Jay, Thomas Jefferson and Henry Laurens to the peace-negotiating team. However, only three members of the American delegation actually took part in the sometimes dilatory negotiations that led to the final peace treaty. Because of the illness and subsequent death of his wife, Martha, in September 1782, Jefferson did not participate in the negotiations. Henry Laurens was captured by the British while traveling to France and was imprisoned in the Tower of London for 15 months. Happily, the South Carolinian was freed in time to reach Paris to sign the Preliminary Treaty in November 1782.

ON THIS DAY Joseph C. Morton Each of the three participating American diplomats (Adams, Franklin and Jay) made positive contributions to what finally became the Definitive Treaty. The wily Dr. Franklin’s main contribution was to act as a mediator between the irascible Adams, the dour Jay, and the British negotiators, Richard Oswald and Henry Strachey, and then to convince the French Foreign Minister (Comte de Vergennes) that he should support the treaty even though France played no role in its drafting. The Treaty of Alliance of 1778 with France had mandated joint Franco-American negotiations with the British: a provision that the Americans obviously violated in negotiating without French input. Adams’ main contribution was his insistence that Americans retain their accustomed fishing “rights” in the north Atlantic and Jay’s main positive contribution was his insistence to exclude France from the

peace negotiations. In the treaty, Britain first and foremost formally recognized U.S. independence. The other major terms of the treaty included a clause stating that all debts owed citizens of both countries were to be honored; a clause pledging Congress “to earnestly recommend” to the states a full restoration of the rights and properties of loyalists; a clause granting Americans the “right” to fish in their accustomed areas off Nova Scotia and Newfoundland; a clause granting generous boundaries, which made the new American republic one of the largest countries in the Atlantic World; and, finally, a clause that specified that all hostilities were to cease, and that all British land and sea forces were to be evacuated “with all convenient speed.” Adams, Franklin and Jay had negotiated a highly favorable peace treaty – a treaty that confirmed American independence and gave birth to the American republic.

The Blackhawks opened their abbreviated training camp Sunday after the NHL lockout officially ended Saturday night. Five facts about the Hawks and their 48-game season:

1. No time for camp stories. With an abbreviated season comes a short training camp – it’s only five days long. 2. Ring ceremony. The season opens Saturday at the defending Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles Kings, who will raise their championship banner and collect their rings. 3. International imports. Only four players on the roster are from the United States. 4. Circle the date. On Feb. 7 in Glendale, Ariz., Marian Hossa (above) and his teammates will face off against Raffi Torres, whose violent knock-out blow on Hossa in the playoffs ended the defenseman’s season. 5. On the road. Ten of the first 12 games will be played on the road, including a season-long six-game swing from Jan. 30 to Feb. 10.

Mike Vandermause From the Green Bay Press Gazzette

SAN FRANCISCO – The Green Bay Packers didn’t just suffer a beatdown at the hands of the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday night in their NFC divisional playoff game. Besides witnessing a resounding 45-31 victory by the 49ers, what we saw was the official passing of the torch. The Packers’ Aaron Rodgers reign as one of the elite teams in the NFC is over. It has become clear the 49ers have overtaken the Packers by a wide margin. And Aaron Rodgers no longer is the most dangerous and feared player in the league. That description now belongs to 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who dominated the Packers with an NFL playoffrecord 181 yards rushing by a quarterback. But Kaepernick is more than a one-trick pony. He also displayed pin-point passing ability in throwing for 263 yards and two touchdowns. Kaepernick spotted the Packers a 7-0 lead with his only mistake of the game, a pick-six that Sam Shields returned 52 yards for a touchdown. But that only delayed the inevitable 49ers’ domination. The 49ers are loaded with talent, including six first-team All-Pro players, and it showed in this playoff mismatch. The only surprise was that it was the 49ers’ offense, not its vaunted defense, that was the catalyst for their big victory.

MMA Bellator 85, 9 p.m. Thursday, Spike TV

By JEFF ARNOLD

jarnold@shawmedia.com The kids in Pat Curran Sr.’s Wonder Lake neighborhood tended to bend toward cruelty, constantly badgering the young boy for a nickname paying homage to his Irish roots. So years later, when Curran and his wife were raising a son of their own, they resisted the temptation to pass along the “Paddy Mike” moniker that had caused Pat so much ridicule growing up.

Instead, they wanted their son to establish his own identity. Even if that meant him chasing dreams of being a professional Mixed Martial Arts fighter, following the example of his older cousin who has made a name, not only for himself, but for the entire Curran family. And yet, for all of the weight his last name carries in no-holds sporting world that has brought him $200,000 in winnings and two Bellator titles, Pat Curran is determined to make it on his own. Paddy Mike fight name and all. Curran will defend his Bellator featherweight championship against

Patricio ‘Pitbull’ Freire on Thursday in Irvine, Calif. His first title defense comes almost five months after he was forced to withdraw from a fight against Freire after fracturing an orbital bone during a sparring match in August. Even though he’s a champion, Curran doesn’t plan on changing the hard-working approach that has guided him through MMA’s ranks. “I’m hungrier than ever right now,” Curran said. “There’s always a lot of pressure going into a fight, but I’m 17-4 right now. I’ve got plenty of experience, and all those years of experience have definitely paid off, and it’s made me a lot more comfortable with where I’m at right now.” But Curran’s climb to the top hasn’t been easy.

FVC coaches switching ‘D’s more often By PATRICK MASON

The freshman wiggled free and received a pass from point guard Kayla Barreto. Soon there were four Chargers’ defenders surrounding Huntley’s 6-foot-2 center, all with their hands up. In a Dec. 7 game against Cary-Grove, Crystal Lake South coach Kyle McCaughn moved away from a basic man-to-man defensive set and employed various zone defenses to help stop the Trojans’ top scorer in Olivia Jakubicek. Around the Fox Valley Conference, teams have begun to create game plans against certain players, but the attention given to the Red Raiders’ Andrews has been dramatic because of her height and offensive skills. McCaughn has moved away from playing a general man-to-man and has used numerous other defenses this season with success, holding Sarah Nader – snader@shawmedia.com Jakubicek to five points in a 45-43 win Dec. 7 against the Huntley’s Ali Andrews is surrounded by a trio of Dundee-Crown defenders during the third quarter of their game Jan. 7 in Huntley.

WOODSTOCK NORTH GIRLS BASKETBALL

Thunder have come long way in 4 years By MEGHAN MONTEMURRO mmontemurro@shawmedia.com

Few coaches in any sport have the chance to start and mold a program from the ground up. Woodstock North girls basketball coach Mike Lewis’ unexpected opportunity came five years ago when the new school opened, and only four years after the Thunder’s first varsity season, they’re contending for a division title. “He’s always pushing everybody to be the best that they can be and he doesn’t give up on anyone,” senior Sami Ahr said of Lewis. “If he sees one of us struggling, he’ll pull us aside to help figure out what’s going on.” Three seniors – Emma Everly, Kaitlin Chamberlain and Aleecia Braun – have been with Lewis since their freshman year, which also was Woodstock North’s first as a varsity team. The Thunder, at 4-2 in the Fox Valley Conference Fox Division, are chasing Grayslake North for the program’s first division title. As eighth-graders at Northwood Middle School, the now Woodstock North seniors were part one of the most talented teams in the area. And as their time as teammates dwindles, the Thunder recognize how far the program has come. “Having these kids for four years, it almost seems like a college program,” Lewis said. “It’s like a dream to have a kid for four years and work with them every day. … They have no problem leading us in the right direction. It’s awesome how far they’ve brought us.”

See THUNDER, page B2

2-3 zONE Keeping three bigger players inside to defend against the inside shot while having two guards defend the perimeter. Pros: Defends well against inside scoring while creating good opportunities for rebounds. Cons: This defense can be beaten by effective outside shooting.

Box-ANd-1 The defense sets up in a four-player box formation – two on the low blocks and two on the elbows – while one defender guards the offenses best player. Pros: A mixture of man-to-man and zone. This defense forces the offense to pass the ball multiple times to create a shot. Cons: Sometimes the mixture of manto-man and zone creates confusion if the offense runs screens and the defensive players are forced out of zone to man-to-man.

TRIANGLE-AND-2 This looks like a “5” on a die. The top two defenders play man-to-man, two are situated on the low block playing zone along with another positioned at the freethrow line. Pros: This defense works well against teams with multiple threats on offense as it covers each spot on the floor. Cons: The three defenders playing zone have a lot of space to cover. Sometimes too much if out of position.

By the numbers Woodstock North’s year-by-year performances: 2009-10 7-21 overall, 1-11 FVC Fox (last place) 2010-11 14-14 overall, 3-9 Fox (tied for last) 2011-12 17-12 overall, 6-6 Fox (tied for fourth) 2012-13 12-7 overall, 4-2 Fox (currently in third)

Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com

‘Touching Home,’ author’s atypical look at athletics Jim Beck, a former Crystal Lake South English teacher and football, basketball and baseball coach, likes to write about subjects on the black of the plate. The reference is from baseball and refers to the angled black portion on the edge of home plate and also an idiom for a close strike call. For Beck, it’s the unusual or offbeat subject that wouldn’t make it into a typical sports story. Beck has put together “Touching Home,” which recently was released by Dorrance Publishing in Pittsburgh. The title also comes from baseball, but it also reflects how his writing connects with players, parents and coaches. “The book is informational,” Beck said. “It’s aimed at anyone who is anyway

involved with sports.” The book is a compilation of essays from “Touching Base,” a weekly column that Beck wrote as a freelance columnist for the Northwest Herald from 1994 to 1999. Those columns ranged from looking at the 1999 Columbine High School shootings to a funny look at putting on skates and practicing with a boys hockey team. Another essay encouraged school administrators to put up student artwork in the hallways by the gym to gain more exposure for the artists. One had to do with how many times basketball players bounced the ball before they shot a free throw. “It’s got a little bit of everything,” Beck said. “It can be serious, it can be funny, it can be whimsical. I have a lot of opinions about sports.”

Beck said he found a lot of ideas to write about just hanging out in the halls at Crystal Lake South and listening. “You’d be amazed at what you heard being said,” Beck said. “It was a work of love.” While the basis of the book was the columns he already had written, Beck said it took about a year of working with the publisher to get the book ready for print. One of the toughest things was how to arrange the essays. Initially, Beck thought he would do it by the high school sports seasons but found he had other subject matter that didn’t fit that mold. That was one area where the publisher was a big help, Beck said. “I didn’t have an idea of how to arrange these essays,” Beck said. “I finally told them you could help me a lot by

arranging them. I really like what they did.” And while Beck’s essays are not mainstream, they bring readers a deeper understanding of the impact sports have people’s lives. It looks at sports from a bygone perspective before the Internet brought continuous access to athletes’ lives in an often negative light. “It kind of ruins the innocence of sports. I wish it hadn’t gone in that direction. There was sort of a goodness about sports,” Beck said. “Instead of looking at our heroes, we looked at their faults.” “Touching Home” can be bought at dorrancebookstore. com.

Despite being young, Lewis proves to be right hire • THUNdeR

Continued from page B1 From outside of the Woodstock North community, Lewis’ hiring as the Thunder varsity coach could have been considered unexpected. Lewis, then a recent college graduate, had spent only one year at Woodstock coaching the girls freshman B team. Before that, he only coached boys, but the Woodstock North administration believed Lewis was the right man for the job. He’s yet to prove them wrong. “I personally bought into what he was teaching us right away,” Braun said of Lewis. “He was passionate about where he wanted this program to go. The way he would explain things – his passion toward it – it won me over.” The 2008-09 season afforded Lewis a year of working with the freshmen and sophomores because the school only had freshman and sophomore teams, easing the transition to a varsity squad the next year. “Lucky for me, I got the opportunity to be the coach of this school,” Lewis said. “These girls work so hard and that’s what I asked them to do from Day 1, just to work as hard as they possibly can at getting better and playing hard no matter what the score is or how much time is left on

Woodstock North won four combined FVC Fox games

in that span and posted a 21-35 overall record. “It was pretty tough because we were young and still developing,” Everly said. “But we knew that we’d get it together and the next couple of years would get better. We just had to get through it and

stay positive and keep going hard.” Lewis gave all the credit to his players for sticking through tough losses without getting disheartened and working hard in the offseason. Those experiences certainly tested four-year varsity players Everly, Chamberlain and Braun, who have provided a core for this season’s squad, which features nine seniors. “It’s a lot of hard work coming from nothing,” Chamberlain said. “Having no seniors that first year was difficult, and that was a big challenge.” Lewis and the Thunder aren’t satisfied with being a contender this year, and the next challenge is sustaining Woodstock North’s success. Some of that foundation already has been set. Braun said the Thunder often attend the freshman games to show support and quite a few players have younger sisters in the program, including Everly and Sami Ahr, whose sister Haley plays on varsity as a freshman. “We’re going to have to play a lot of games [in the offseason] and get experience, get these kids playing together so that way they can learn each other’s strengths and help each other grow,” Lewis said. “That way when we start the season next year we’re rocking.”

Goal of defenses is to force bit players to make plays • defeNses

Continued from page B1 been anything from traditional to modified zones, intent on preventing one or two standout players from dominating a game against them. The goal is to force a team’s other players, not the stars, to beat them. Four days after beating Cary-Grove, Crystal Lake South faced Ali Andrews and Huntley. “We really try to show some different looks,” McCaughn said. “Against a team like Huntley, we did a little to try to limit their touches where they want them, and against them you have to make adjustments.” McCaughn employed a number of zones, but the Red Raiders won the game Dec. 11 in part because of their players’ on-the-floor recognition. “Coach has us prepared,” Huntley’s Sam Andrews said. “We feel confident out there, and we know what to expect when teams try to take away one of our players. “It’s all about reacting to what we see and not panicking.” The first thing to notice is the average height of the Red Raiders’ starting lineup – 5-10 – which includes three starters 6-0 or taller. That alone causes matchup problems. Their skill is what makes them more dangerous. Junior Sam Andrews is a 6-0 forward with scoring abilities from any spot on the floor while her freshman sister Ali – a 6-2 center – has given opposing teams fits under the basket. Haley Ream, another 6-0 forward, can create her own shot and score with consistency. Although those players are a nice luxury on the offensive side, Red Raiders coach Steve Raethz has found himself teaching his team about defensive looks during practice and preparing his team for a mixture of defenses. “We do a bunch of different things in practice,” Raethz said. “For instance, we put out a 2-3 zone against our offense, then we will switch into something else. “Or we do different things like practice against six or seven players in a half-court or full-court press. It puts them in different situations than normal. We don’t do it all the time, but we try to make them make better decisions with the ball when these situations happen during games.”

“It’s all about reacting to what we see and not panicking.” Sam Andrews

Huntley girls basketball player, on playing against gimmick defenses

Through the team’s first 17 games, Huntley has seen a number of defenses being played against them: man-toman, 2-3 zones, box-and-one and triangle-and-two sets. With all of these different looks, Raethz said it is important his players recognize what the opposing teams are showing and adjust offensively mid-game. “It’s important for us to recognize what the [opposing team] is trying to take away from us,” Raethz said. “Then the biggest thing is having five people offensively minded on the court for those instances when we have our inside game taken away. We’ve done a pretty good job of having players step up. “They have had those opportunities and the kids are doing a nice job and I anticipate us to continue to see different defenses, and our kids are becoming more and more comfortable at reacting to what they see.” Ream, a senior, said after a Dec. 7 victory over Prairie Ridge that she couldn’t remember playing against zone defenses in past seasons, but has seen them a lot this season because Huntley has numerous players who offer a lot offensively. The game against the Wolves is when Huntley’s players started to see extensive defensive looks with more regularity. “You have to do something different when playing these guys,” Prairie Ridge coach Rob Baker said. The game was also the first time Ali Andrews could remember seeing so much attention given to her in her career. As a freshman, she has had to work hard to deal with the pressure and to keep her frustration at bay. “It’s really about recognizing the different defenses and what each one is trying to do,” she said. “With coach’s help, we’ve talked about when to pass it out to find someone who should be open when the defense collapses, or how to make moves quicker so I can get a shot up before that help comes. “It’s always different, so I just have to keep my eyes open.”

He had been a relentless competitor, and so the fact that he wanted to devote his life to fighting made sense. Even if it would take some getting used to for his parents, who needed time to get over the shock of their son leaving home. “He was of age, so we couldn’t say anything except we wished you weren’t going, but good luck,” Pat Sr. said. “You looked at the older fighters with the cauliflower ears and the punched-up faces and I think that had [Sue] worried.”

••• Curran took his first Bellator fight on two week’s notice, beginning a tournament cycle in which he would fight once a month for three months straight. The daily training sessions were grueling. Fighting under Jeff Curran’s watchful eye, Curran put his body through a battery of physical tests. Earlier in his career, he had agreed to a fight in as little as two days before he’d climb into the octagon, anxious to start his climb to the top. Curran, who had been fighting at 145 pounds before his first Bellator bout, was forced to jump up a weight class, forcing him to prove himself against bigger fight-

ers. He used it as motivation, intent on making a name for himself no matter what it took. Curran won his first Bellator championship in 2010, beating Toby Imada in a split decision before eventually losing his title in 2011 by unanimous decision to Eddie Alvarez. After dropping down to featherweight later in the year, Curran cycled through the tournament a second time, knocking out Joe Warren to capture his second title, adding another $100,000 payday. With each fight, Curran’s confidence grew. Fighting under the same “Paddy Mike” that his father never had forced upon him but that a TapOuT promoter had pinned to him, Curran gradually was moving out of Jeff’s shadow by fighting with his own style. Primarily having a wrestling background, Curran began to focus on becoming an explosive and devastating striker. Curran became more of a complete fighter, expanding his game plan to use forceful punches to get opponents off their feet to finish them off. Curran has become a more fluid fighter, blending grappling and dynamic striking styles to evolve into, according to striking coach and fellow featherweight Brett Brendel, a pioneer in a strategy that will become more prevalent in the MMA.

His evolution comes at a perfect time. Bellator is beginning a new relationship with Spike TV, taking the next step in becoming one of the sport’s premier promotion companies. But with wider appeal, Curran is discovering there is more pressure with the bigger stage. There are more promotional appearances to make, more pitfalls and temptations to avoid. It’s an aspect of the profession Jeff Curran is helping his younger cousin adjust to. As long as the two have worked together, Jeff still feels pressure to keep Pat on the right track – not only because he’s family – because he’s a member of a fighting outfit that has the Pat’s name attached to it. “He’s a Curran and the family and the students here and the other fighters, they look at Pat like, ‘Hey, you’re a Curran – you better live up to it,’ ” Jeff said. “All that’s a little more pressure, but he never lets down.” Pat Curran heads into his first title defense fully prepared after wrapping up his training last week. He feels as if he’s not only ready to face Freire on Thursday, but to take the next step in his career. “I have to make my own name,” Curran said. “I can’t live off my cousin’s success. “That was always my goal – I’ve got to pave my own path. That’s what I did.”

Niners, Brady passes Montana in playoff wins Patriots favorites PATRIOTS 41, TEXANS 28

By BARRY WILNER The Associated Press

Harbaugh brothers could square off in Super Bowl XLVII By EDDIE PELLS

The Associated Press

One game is a rematch. The other might feel like one – at least to one of the teams. For the second straight year in the AFC, the New England Patriots will play host to the Baltimore Ravens with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line. In the NFC, it will be San Francisco traveling to Atlanta, with the Falcons defense trying to stop a versatile, running quarterback for the second straight week. “Russell Wilson and Colin Kaepernick are mobile quarterbacks who throw the ball at extremely accurate levels,” FalJim Harbaugh cons safety Thomas DeCoud said. “We can use this game as a cheat sheet to prepare for next week.” On Sunday, the Falcons barely got past Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks, who overJohn Harbaugh came a 20-point deficit to take a one-point lead, but gave it up after Matt Ryan drove Atlanta into field goal range and Matt Bryant made a 49-yard kick with 8 seconds left. Atlanta is the only team not making a repeat appearance in the NFL’s final four. Last year, it was the Giants playing, and beating, the 49ers for the NFC title. On Saturday, Kaepernick passed for 263 yards and rushed for 181 – a playoff record for a quarterback – to defeat Green Bay, 45-31. “We’re one step closer to where we want to be,” said Kaepernick. San Francisco hasn’t been to the Super Bowl since 1995, when Steve Young led the 49ers to their fifth Lombardi Trophy. Although the Niners must travel cross country for the game, they opened as 3-point favorites in a meeting of teams that played twice a year until 2003, when Atlanta was moved from the NFC West to the NFC South. Their only previous playoff meeting was a 20-18 win for the Falcons in the 1998 divisional playoffs. Atlanta won at Minnesota the next week to make its only Super Bowl. San Francisco’s 20-17 overtime loss last year to the Giants was part of a tense day of football that began with New England’s 23-20 victory over the Ravens in the AFC title game. In that game, Billy Cundiff missed a 32-yard field goal that would have tied the game with 11 seconds left. This season, Justin Tucker beat out Cundiff for the kicker’s job. Tucker hit a 47-yarder against Denver on Saturday to lift the Ravens to a 3835 win in double overtime, extending Ray Lewis’ career for at least one more week and putting the 17-year veteran one win away from his second Super Bowl. “We fought hard to get back to this point and we’re definitely proud of being here,” Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco said. “We feel like it’s going to take a lot for somebody to come and kick us off that field come the AFC championship game.” Lewis and the Ravens will have to stop the NFL’s most potent offense. The Patriots put up 457 yards in a 4128 victory over Houston, which left them one win away from their sixth Super Bowl in the 2000s. “I think the two best teams are in the final,” Patriots quarterback Tom Brady said. “Baltimore certainly deserve to be here and so do we.” The Patriots were made early 9½-point favorites against the Ravens. These teams met in the regular season and that game was also decided by a kick – Tucker’s 27-yard field goal that sneaked through the right upright for a 31-30 victory. Or did it? While the Ravens were celebrating, Pats coach Bill Belichick ran to midfield and grabbed a replacement official’s arm as he tried to exit the field. The NFL fined Belichick $50,000 for the gesture. Among the possible Super Bowl story lines: • The Harbaugh Bowl. Jim Harbaugh coaches the 49ers and his brother John Harbaugh coaches the Ravens. • A rematch of San Francisco’s 4134 win at New England on Dec. 16 – one of the most entertaining games of the regular season.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Tom Brady idolized Joe Montana as a kid in the Bay Area. Now, he’s surpassed his hero for postseason wins. Brady got his 17th, the most for any quarterback, in New England’s 41-28 AFC divisional victory over Houston on Sunday. If Brady can lead the Patriots past Baltimore in next weekend’s conference title game, then win the Super Bowl, he’ll equal the 49ers’ Hall of Famer for NFL championships. Brady has guided the Patriots to five Super Bowls, winning the first three; Montana was 4 for 4 in the big game, playing for Brady’s hometown team. “I grew up a 49ers fan,” Brady said. “Joe Montana and Steve Young ... those guys are in another class.” Next up is Baltimore, which stunned top-seeded Denver in double overtime Saturday, and lost 23-20 at Gillette Stadium last January in the last step before the Super Bowl. But the Ravens beat the Patriots in Week 3 this season at Baltimore.

The Patriots won, 41-28. “I think the two best teams are in the final,” Brady said. “Baltimore certainly deserves to be here and so do we.” Seldom-used Shane Vereen scored three times, twice on pinpoint

throws from Brady, as New England (13-4) beat Houston (13-5) for the second time in a month. Brady was missing some key helpers, but got the usual outstanding performance from Wes Welker, his

favorite target the past six years. The AFC’s top receiver with 118 catches this season, Welker looked like he might reach that total against Houston’s befuddled defense. He caught six in the first half for 120 yards, including a 47-yarder, and wound up with eight for 131. And the AFC East champion Patriots got more than anyone could have predicted from third-string running back Vereen, who scored their first two TDs on a 1-yard run and an 8-yard pass. He capped his biggest pro performance with an over-the-shoulder 33yard catch early in the fourth period. It was Brady’s 41st postseason TD pass, behind only Brett Favre (44) and, you guessed it, Montana (45). “I hope I am around for a few more years,” the 35-year-old Brady said. “I love playing, I love competing ...” The boost from Vereen offset the loss of tight end Rob Gronkowski (arm) and RB Danny Woodhead (thumb) in the first quarter. “Shane had a great game, just a huge growing up moment for him, very special,” Brady said. “There were a lot of guys who made a lot of plays.”

Tears of joy for 16-year veteran Gonalez finally gets a taste of victory in playoffs The old pro was on the sideline, resigned to the fact that this would turn out like so many games of the past. In the 16 years Tony Gonzalez has played tight end in the NFL, so many seasons ended early that he couldn’t expect this one to be any different. If football is a cruel game, it had been even crueler to Gonzalez. No matter what he did, no matter how well he played, the end result always seemed to be the same.

VIEWS Tim Dahlberg He might be the greatest tight end in the history of the game. But he never has played in a Super Bowl, never even gotten to a conference championship game. Incredibly, he never had been on a winning playoff team, something that was on his mind as Marshawn Lynch scored on a 2-yard run with 31 seconds left to put the Seattle Seahawks on the verge of a stunning 30-28 comeback win against the Atlanta Falcons. Even worse was the thought that this game almost surely would be his last. Gonzalez isn’t doing a Ray Lewis retirement tour, but he gave every indication all season long that he would be doing something different on Sundays next year. “I guess this is it,” Gonzalez thought as he stood watching the final seconds. “Going out with a heartbreaking loss.” Not just yet he isn’t. Not after collecting himself enough to run a perfect route and make the catch that set up a last-second winning field goal by Matt Bryant. Instead of moving out, he’s moving on. The Falcons are a game

a win,” he said. “I thought it was over. Sixteen years. Six playoff games. I was like, ‘Here we go again.’ Especially with that big lead. I thought it just wasn’t meant to be.” That it was means the Falcons will play again next week against San Francisco with the winner going to the Super Bowl. It’s the kind of thing Gonzalez hardly could imagine with the Chiefs; the kind of thing that up until now seemed just out of reach for the Falcons. They’ll be underdogs despite being at home, and they’ll need to put this one behind them to be competitive against a 49er team that was at its best Saturday in a lopsided win over Green Bay. Odds are good they won’t have a 20-point halftime lead like they did against the Seahawks, and a defense that couldn’t seem to stop Russell Wilson in the second half will have to somehow find a way to contain Colin Kaepernick, AP photo who is even more dangerous while Falcons tight end Tony Gonzalez celebrates his team’s 30-28 victory over the Sea- on the run.

Ryans avoids a 0-4 playoff record with victory over Seahawks • NFL PLAYOFFS

Continued from page B1 “Wow!” said Falcons coach Mike Smith, summing up this classic as well as anyone could. Atlanta (14-3) squandered a 20-point lead in the fourth quarter, falling behind for the first time all day when Marshawn Lynch scored on a 2-yard run with 31 seconds left and Ryan Longwell knocked through the extra point for a 28-27 lead. No team ever has won a playoff game when facing such a daunting deficit in the final period. The Falcons, thanks to a pair of Matty Ices – Ryan and Bryant – didn’t become the first. Ryan, shaking off his struggles in three previous playoff losses and two interceptions against the Seahawks, hooked up with Harry Douglas on a 29-yard pass in front of the Falcons bench, and Smith quickly signaled a timeout. Then, Ryan went down the middle to his favorite target Gonzalez, a Hall of Famer-to-be playing what could’ve been his final game. Gonzalez hauled in the 19-yard

throw, and Smith called his final timeout with 13 seconds remaining. Instead of risking another play and having the clock run out, he sent Bryant in for the field goal try. The Seahawks called time just before the ball was snapped, and Bryant’s kick sailed right of the upright. That turned out to be nothing more than practice. The next one was right down the middle as Bryant took off in the other direction, Matt Ryan pumpinghisfistbefore he was mobbed by his teammates. “Our quarterback is a special player,” Smith said. “They call him Matty Ice, but I feel like we’ve got two Matty Ices. There’s Matty Ice Ryan and Matty Ice Bryant.” The Falcons overcame their reputation for choking in the playoffs, winning their first postseason game since the 2004 season. They’ll host San Francisco in the NFC championship game next Sunday with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line. “Nobody flinched,” Ryan said. “We just kept battling, kept doing

what we do. That’s been the makeup of our team all season.” Bryant knocked through his third game-winning kick of the season. But he’d never made one like this, with so much on the line. “When they scored their touchdown, I walked down [the sideline],” he said. “I told the offensive line, I told Matt (Ryan), I told all the receivers, ‘We’ve done this before.’ ” Wilson threw two touchdown passes and ran for another, doing all he could to pull off the most improbable of comebacks for the Seahawks (12-6). But the Seattle defense, which is one of the NFL’s best and had totally stymied the Falcons in the fourth quarter, went to a softer coverage and got burned. Atlanta had just enough time to pull off a comeback of its own. “We had high, high hopes for the rest of the season,” Wilson said. “When the game was over, I was very disappointed. But walking back into the tunnel, I got so excited about next year. The resilience we showed was unbelievable.” Wilson finished with 385 yards passing as the Seahawks wiped out

a 27-7 deficit entering the final quarter. When Lynch powered over, the ball breaking the goal line just before it squirted from his arms, Seattle celebrated like it had won its second straight playoff game on the road, having already taken care of Robert Griffin III and the Washington Redskins. According to STATS, it would’ve been the greatest fourth-quarter comeback in NFL playoff history. Not so fast. Ryan led the Falcons back, wiping out his 0-3 mark in the playoffs, including a crushing loss to Green Bay two years ago when the Falcons were in the same position, the NFC’s top-seeded team with home-field advantage in the playoffs. “The one thing I’ve learned during my five years in the league, and specifically in the postseason, is that it’s hard,” Ryan said. Now, he no longer will be asked why he can’t win in the playoffs. “That’s going to be nice,” Ryan conceded. “But our goal is not to win one playoff game. Our goals are still in front of us. We still have two more games to go. That’s the mind-set I have. That’s the mind-set this team has.”

NHL RETURNS

Teams hit ice preparing for shorten season By LARRY LAGE

The Associated Press

PLYMOUTH, Mich. – On a sheet of ice a few miles from sandy beaches, the Los Angeles Kings finally got to begin their quest to hoist the Stanley Cup again. Several hundred fans packed wooden bleachers in El Segundo, Calif., on Sunday, eager to watch the Kings practice four months after the NHL lockout started and seven months after their favorite team was crowned champion for the first time. A skate that usually would draw a few dozen fans in the past turned into a place to be because hockey is back. “You get a little celebration, but pretty soon you start wanting to get ready for the season,” Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick said. “We’ve been looking forward to this for a long time now.”

The NHL, and its fans who haven’t been soured by a third work stoppage in less than two decades, finally can shift its focus to the ice after languishing through labor negotiations that ended on the 113th day of the lockout Jan. 6. Almost a full week after agreeing to a tentative deal, both sides signed a memorandum of understanding late Saturday night to seal labor peace for at least eight years. The signatures allowed teams to open training camp Sunday and most did, including the Detroit Red Wings at a roughly half-full suburban Detroit rink

Sharapova starts with 6-0, 6-0 win By JOHN PYE

The Associated Press MELBOURNE, Australia – Maria Sharapova finished her first match of the year in 55 minutes today, cruising to a 6-0, 6-0 win over Olga Puchkova to start proceedings on center court at the Australian Open without showing any signs of trouble with her sore right shoulder. The No. 2 - r a n k e d Sharapova, who lost the final to Victoria Azarenka here last year Maria b e f o r e g o i n g Sharapova on to win the French Open, faced only two break points in the match and she saved both of those in the first game. Then she went on a 12-game roll that earned her a second “double bagel” inside a year. Sharapova started her run to the French Open title with a 6-0, 6-0 win over Alexandra Caduntu at Roland Garros last year. But she said the score line wasn’t really relevant. “If you win 7-6 in the third, you’ve still won the match,” she said. Sharapova withdrew from the Brisbane International this month with an injured right collarbone, saying she wanted to concentrate on being fit for the season’s first major. She skipped the tournament last year, as well, before going on to reach the Australian Open final. “After a couple of close games and a few break points,

I certainly started to concentrate a bit better,” she said. “I didn’t want to concentrate on the fact I hadn’t played a lot of matches. I just wanted to focus on what was ahead of me and really be aggressive. “It was one of those matches where I didn’t try to worry about her too much.” Sharapova has a potential third-round match against Venus Williams, who needed only an hour for her opening 6-1, 6-0 win over Galina Voskoboeva of Kazakhstan. No. 4 Agnieszka Radwanska won the last nine straight games in her opening 7-5, 6-0 win over Australian wildcard entry Bojana Bobusic, and 2011 U.S. Open champion Samantha Stosur beat Chang Kai-chen of Taiwan, 7-6 (3), 6-3, to end a run of five losses on home soil. Sixth-seeded Li Na, who lost the Australian Open final before winning the 2011 French Open, had a 6-1, 6-3 win over Sesil Karatantcheva of Kazakhstan, while No. 18 Julia Gorges of Germany and No. 27 Sorana Cirstea of Romania also advanced. On the men’s side, No. 10 Nicolas Almagro of Spain beat American qualifier Steve Johnson, 7-5, 6-7 (4), 6-2, 6-7 (6), 6-2; No. 15 Stanislas Wawrinka beat German qualifier CedrikMarcel Stebe, 6-2, 6-4, 6-3; and No. 16 Kei Nishikori of Japan had a 6-7 (5), 6-3, 6-1, 6-3 win over Romania’s Victor Hanescu. No. 32 Julien Benneteau of France ousted rising Bulgarian star Grigor Dimitrov, 6-4, 6-2, 6-4.

and Gerald Green also scored 15 points. Knicks 100, Hornets 87: At New York, Carmelo Anthony snapped out of a slow start by scoring 18 of his 27 points in the second quarter, and the Knicks ended their season-high, threegame losing streak. Anthony missed seven of eight shots and scored two points in the first quarter of the noon start he dislikes, then outscored Charlotte by himself in the second quarter as the Knicks took the lead for good. Bucks 107, Raptors 96: At Toronto, Brandon Jennings had 19 points and 10 assists, rookie John Henson scored 19 and Milwaukee rallied from a 20-point firstquarter deficit to beat Toronto for the eighth straight time.

The Florida Panthers, Nashville Predators and Phoenix Coyotes planned to have their first practices today. There’s not much time to get ready for a 48-game sprint of a season – all that could be salvaged from an 82-game slate – that will start without anyone playing a preseason game and won’t get much rest. “Normally in a five-week training camp you get an opportunity to give everybody over eight exhibition games the power play, the penalty kill, everything to really show what they have,” Detroit coach Mike Babcock said. “That’s not going to happen.” Teams will play an average of 3.44 games a week, slightly more than the 48-game, lock-

out-shortened 1994-95 season, after playing 3.15 a week on average last season, according to STATS LLC. Los Angeles gets to open at home against the Blackhawks after unveiling the franchise’s first Stanley Cup banner Saturday in one of 13 games on opening day. The Kings then play 11 of their next 14 games on the road. “It’s going to be a grind,” Kings defenseman Drew Doughty said. “It’s going to be playoff hockey every time we’re out there, but that’s what we enjoy. Everybody in the league is going to be in the same boat, so we’ve got to avoid going on any long losing streak, but we’re happy to get a chance to come back.” The Kings beat New Jersey in six games to become the first team seeded eighth to win the Stanley Cup. They are hoping to finish the season as the NHL’s first repeat champions since the Detroit Red Wings hoisted Cups in 1997 and 1998.

HONOLULU – Russell Henley made a lasting impression in his rookie debut on the PGA Tour with a record-setting performance Sunday in the Sony Open. Tied for the lead with fellow rookie Scott Langley to start the final round, Henley seized Russell Henley control with a birdie on the opening hole and then poured it on at the end. He closed with five straight birdies for a 7-under-par 63, finally showing emotion with a sweeping uppercut when his 8-foot putt disappeared into the cup. He won by three shots over Tim Clark, who birdied seven of his last 11 holes and only made up one shot on the rookie from Georgia.

Asking son’s playmate to go home is no fun for mother

Dear Abby: My son “Timmy” has a playmate from down the street I’ll call “Bobby.” I’m happy Timmy has someone to play with, but Bobby’s parents haven’t taught him good manners. Even though Bobby is only 6, he does not have a curfew. He has stayed at our house as late as 10:30 at night without his parents coming after him or calling to ask me to send him home. Also, Abby, I did not invite Bobby to my 4-year-old daughter’s birthday party because it was for her and her little friends. Well, Bobby, his older sister and a friend of hers showed up anyway. I didn’t have enough favors

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips for the extra children. I was able to stretch the food, but I was aggravated his parents didn’t have enough respect for me to stop their children from crashing my daughter’s birthday. I was brought up to leave my friends’ homes when it was dinnertime, but these children don’t want to go home even when I ask them to leave so we can have our dinner. They beg to stay and eat with us. How can parents be so

inconsiderate as to allow their children to come over anytime and stay as long as they like? I want it to stop, but I don’t want to cause hard feelings. How do I handle this? – Im-

posed Upon In Oklahoma

Dear Imposed Upon: There usually is a good reason why children don’t want to go home. Has it occurred to you that Bobby’s parent(s) may be drunk, stoned or absent? If a parent is reachable, explain to him or her that at your house you have a regular dinner hour and that it is family time. Guests must go home then, unless they have been specifically invited to stay. Also, after-dinner playtime is over at 8:30 p.m. and guests

must go home by then – but not walk alone after dark. It may turn out that your son’s playmate is a latchkey kid or being neglected. If the latter is true, then Child Protective Services should be notified. Dear Abby: I am a woman who is more than 50 pounds overweight. It didn’t happen overnight, and I completely understand I am the only person to blame for it. I gained the weight because of years of unhealthy eating, lack of exercise and the birth of my two daughters over a period of six years. Recently I decided to do something about it. I took the initiative, adopted a sensible

diet and have started walking 2 to 3 miles a day with my friend, “Shannon.” Abby, on almost every occasion, Shannon and I are made fun of as we walk. It’s embarrassing and extremely discouraging. We realize we are overweight. We don’t need people calling attention to us or making fun of the “fat girls.” Won’t you please let your readers know that struggling with weight loss is hard enough without adding the fear and anxiety of being made a laughingstock while exercising? – Losing Slowly

In Ohio Dear Losing Slowly: I ap-

plaud you for recognizing you

had a challenge and rising (literally) to meet it. When I see someone who’s carrying extra weight walking or working out at a gym, what comes to mind is, “There’s a person who is doing something positive about his or her problem.” Because a jackass brays doesn’t mean you have to take it to heart. The individuals making those unkind remarks are trying to make themselves feel superior by putting you down. Please don’t let it discourage you. You’re on the right track.

Picky young eaters usually grow out of it

Dear Readers: Several of my colleagues at Harvard Medical School have written e-books that contain good information on topical health-related issues. In this week’s columns, I’ll be featuring four of them that complement readers’ questions. I hope you will find them useful. – Doctor K Dr. K: : My preschooler will eat only white foods. I’m worried he’s not getting the proper nutrients to grow and develop. What can I do? Dear Reader: I’m not a pediatrician, but when I trained in pediatrics in medical school, I was amazed by how many parents brought their kids to the doctor because the kids were picky eaters. My pediatrician colleagues here at Harvard Medical School tell me many “white food fanciers” start off as adventurous eaters. Then around the age of 2 or 2½, they refuse anything with color. Instead, they opt exclusively for white or beige foods, usually carbo-

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff hydrates. Favorites include plain noodles, chicken nuggets, mashed potatoes, white bread and white cheese. The good news? By the time most children reach age 10, they’re digging into a wide spectrum of foods. While you’re waiting for your child to mature, you might be wringing your hands, worried your little one isn’t getting enough nutrients and fiber. But if your child is measuring within the growth chart and has energy to spare, there’s probably nothing to worry about. Of course, that doesn’t mean you can’t try to gently change your child’s eating behaviors: • Set an example. Show your child that you enjoy making healthy food choices. • Make white or beige

smoothies. Make a smoothie out of soy milk and then add some white fruits such as pears, yellow apples or white grapes. • Be sneaky. Combine cauliflower with mashed potatoes and your little one won’t be the wiser. Try other ways to sneak in vegetables. • Opt for Cream of Wheat cereal. It’s white and has a child’s daily requirement for iron. • Ask your child to help with simple food prep. By handling and touching different non-white foods without pressure to eat them, your child may be more likely to taste them at mealtime.

By PHILLIP ALDER Newspaper Enterprise Association

Evan Daugherty, a screenwriter, director and editor, said, “Those are the two best words in English: ‘bidding’ and ‘war.’” These are the two best words in bridge: “bidding” and “cardplay.” And they are certainly interrelated. The bidding often helps one side or the other in the cardplay -- as in this deal from a private game with four experts. South was in five diamonds. West led the heart queen. East won with his ace and returned a heart. How did declarer continue? North’s one-club opening bid was Precision, showing at least 16 points. South’s pass over East’s one-heart overcall announced either zero to 4 points or the desire to double one heart for penalty. The rest of the auction was natural. The bidding strongly suggested that West had the spade king and diamond length. But if South took the second trick with dummy’s heart jack, how would he have continued? Appreciating that he needed to be in his hand, declarer won with his heart king, played a spade

to dummy’s queen, and cashed the diamond ace to get that unsurprising news. Then he took the spade ace, West correctly dropping the king, the card he was known to hold. However, South ruffed a spade with his diamond 10, played a diamond to dummy’s jack, cashed the diamond king, and led a high spade. He lost only one heart and one diamond. Note that if East had never bid, it would have been much harder for declarer. When you do not expect to win the auction, silence can be golden.

HOROSCOPE

CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com

TODAY - In coming months, you would do well to get involved in progressive, imaginative endeavors. If you’re sharp enough to back the right horse, things could turn out to be impressively profitable. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Even though your instincts are usually good, you should rely solely on your logic today. This is especially true concerning anything that you’re trying to promote or sell. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Unbeknownst to you, something opportune is developing behind the scenes that will most likely produce definite benefits. However, its full results won’t be felt until later. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- An objective that you previously felt was important could begin to lose its appeal, due to another aim that is now capturing your fancy, becoming far more meaningful. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Whether you need to extricate yourself from a problematical arrangement or turn a losing situation into a winner, you have the ability to do either. You just have to believe in yourself. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Don’t let your wonderful gift of being able to grasp facts quickly and accurately go unused. Mingle with people who can teach you what you need to know. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- There is no need to be wishy-washy about elevating your aim if that’s what is needed. You’ll never know how high you can score if you don’t try. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Your first thoughts aren’t always your best ones, so it behooves you not to jump to conclusions. Take plenty of time to weigh and balance anything critical or important. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Although you take all of your duties seriously, you know better than most that there’s always the possibility for error. Mistakes could arise when working with someone who needs detailed help. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A better understanding can be achieved with someone whom you haven’t as yet figured out. Turn this acquaintance into a close friend by getting to know each other. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Even if it takes you a while to get into full gear, once you do, chances are you will accomplish something of tremendous worth that will make you and others quite proud. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- It might pay to set aside your usual agenda and give your mind and body a rest from all your worldly affairs. Instead, do something that’s frivolous and carefree. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Your financial aspects look to be especially good. If you have anything important pending, this might be the day to try to close the deal, if at all possible.
