Joliet West wins conference title

by MarK gregory editorial director

@Hear_The_Beard mark@buglenewspapers.com A year ago, the Joliet West baseball team was ready to compete.

The Tigers were coming off a loss in the regional championship game and had several key players back.

That season, however, was lost to the pandemic protocol set forth by the State of Illinois and the Illinois High School Association.

Entering the 2021 season, West knew it had a few talented players, but there were a lot of question marks — namely could a conference pitching rotation that saw 6-foot, 8-inch sophomore Conner Hogan as the elder of the staff be enough against senior-dominated teams.

Question answered.

Hogan tossed a 3-1 complete game win over Plainfield Central Monday night to pitch the team to the Southwest Prairie Conference Eastern Divison title.

Hogan allowed one run on six hits over seven innings, striking out three and walking one.

On the season, he is 6-0 with a 2.30 ERA in 11 games started. Hogan boasts a 1.09 WHIP and has struck out 38 hitters to only eight walks.

“This is great,” Hogan said of the conference title. “Everyone is getting it done. We are going out there and having fun and playing for the win.

“I don’t think about being a strikeout pitcher. I just put the ball in play and my defense makes the plays.”

That was evident in the top of the seventh inning when centerfielder Matt Stariha flashed the leather on a diving catch to take away extra bases from Central’s Howard Jordan.

“I give them hugs in the dugout on plays like that,” Hogan laughed. “It is an amazing feeling when they are putting their bodies

The big offensive hit in the game came off the bat of Cam Karczewski, who stroked a 2-RBI triple in the bottom of the fifth to put West ahead 2-1. He then scored the final run of the game on a wild pitch.

“It was big,” Karczewski said. “I was asked to come through and I came through. It was big. I was looking for something out over the plate and tried to go the opposite way and I drove it that way.”

As a senior, Karczewski was one

of the players looking forward to the team last season.

“Last year, we had most of our pitchers coming back, so I thought we were going to be good,” he said. “This year, we didn’t know how pitching would be and guys showed up. No one expected us to win this other than us because we believed in ourselves.”

Karczewski’s dad, West head coach John Karczewski, was happy for the whole team to get the win.

“This is the first conference title since 2013,” he said. “Go-

ing into this year, we really didn’t know what to expect. You have the three game series and we go sophomore, freshman, freshman on the mound and we score when we have to and play good defense.

“It is easy to go home and go to sleep at night and get up the next morning and know you are going to hang with these guys and these coaches. We put a lot of time in the fall with this group and they are good group.”

He is also happy to see his son get the winning hit and be the

offensive leader of the clinching game.

“When the coaches son is batting leadoff and playing shortstop, he better produce,” he said.

“He has done that. He has come through with big hits all year and that one got down. I am happy for him. He is a quiet leader on this team and I am proud of him.”

Coach Karczewski has had all the faith in his sophomore ace since the beginning, so Monday’s

bond set at $3 million for man accused of stabbing girlfriend to death DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin and Villa Park Chief of Police Michael Rivas announced that a Villa Park man has been charged with the murder of his live-in girlfriend and mother of his three children, Esmeralda DeLuna, 24. Marco-Antonio Rubio, 25 (d.o.b. 7/4/1995) of the 300 block of N. Princeton Drive, appeared at a bond hearing this morning where Judge Ann Celine O’Hallaren Walsh set bond at $3 million with 10 percent to apply. Rubio has been charged with two counts of First-Degree Murder.

On May 19, 2021, at approximately 9:25 p.m., Villa Park police officers responded to the Princeton Drive address for a disturbance. Upon their arrival, officers knocked on the door and heard crying coming from inside.

Officers entered the residence and located two female children between three and six years old and a male child approximately one year old. Officers also found a trail of blood in the living room that led to the victim lying in the kitchen with an eight-inch butcher knife in her leg and apparent stab wounds to her torso. The victim was transported to a local hospital for medical attention where she was pronounced deceased early the following morning. On May 7, 2021, Rubio was served with an Order of Protection against him with Esmeralda DeLuna

named as the petitioner. With the Order of Protection in effect, Rubio had moved out of the Princeton address home. It is alleged that Rubio violated the Order of Protection against him and went to the Princeton address.

It is further alleged that upon his arrival, Rubio broke into the home and stabbed DeLuna multiple times in the torso and in one of her legs. It is further alleged that after the attack, Rubio fled the scene. An investigation into the murder led authorities to Rubio who was taken into custody early the following morning while walking near Harvard Avenue and Elm Street in Villa Park.

“Two nights ago, Esmeralda DeLuna’s life was taken from her, allegedly by the hands of her live-in boyfriend and father of their three children, Marco Rubio,” Berlin said. “Sadly, the charges filed against Mr. Rubio mark the second time this week my office has filed First-Degree-Murder charges as a result of escalating domestic violence. I offer my sincerest condolences to Esmeralda’s family and friends as they attempt to come to terms with this senseless crime and tremendous loss. I would like to thank the Villa Park Police Department for their outstanding work in identifying and locating the defendant in this case. I would also like to thank members of DuPage

M.E.R.I.T. as well as Assistant State’s Attorneys Louisa Nuckolls, Kathleen Rowe and Elizabeth Romano, all of whom have worked tirelessly the past two days on this case.”

“Domestic violence takes a little piece away from all of us in the community, Rivas Said. “Our thoughts are with the domestic violence victim, Ms. DeLuna, her beautiful children, and everyone dealing with this tragic loss. I would like to thank the DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office, investigators from DuPage M.E.R.I.T. Major Crimes and Forensic Investigations Unit, and the men and women of the Villa Park Police Department for their assistance in bringing about a successful outcome. We are also fully appreciative for the vigilance of our citizens in Villa Park. No one was going to have a moments rest until the suspect was taken into custody.”

Rubio’s next court appearance is scheduled for June 24, 2021, for arraignment in front of Judge O’Hallaren Walsh.

Members of the public are reminded that this complaint contains only charges and is not proof of the defendant’s guilt. A defendant is presumed innocent and is entitled to a fair trial in which it is the government’s burden to prove his or her guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

W e d n es day, M AY 2 6 , 2 0 2 1 | b u g l e n e w spap e r s. c o m | pag e 5 ‘ west ’ from page 3 performance is nothing new to him.

“He has gotten better since start one,”coach Karczewski said.

“I saw him in winter and I told him to mentally prepare to pitch varsity baseball. We knew there are not many 6-8 lefties that can throw strikes out there sitting on the sophomore level. He is more and more composed and he is fun to watch.”

While he may have been told to prepare over the winter, Hogan was still nervous in his first outing.

“The first game, I was terrified.

I didn’t know what to think. But, after the first inning of my first game, I was like, ‘OK, I got this.’ “ Hogan said. “I feel great. The team has been very supportive. I just go out there and do my thing and hope for the best. This is a great group of guys. They have so much support and energy and I am just so happy to be around this group.”

Despite being a sophomore, Hogan’s talent coupled with his imposing frame brings out the best in his opponents — something he is always ready for.

“I always come out with my best, but if I see the other team get riled up or talking crap, I just get fired up even more and try even harder,” he said.

Competitiveness and baseball are in Hogan’s blood — literally.

Although it is something he doesn’t talk about, let alone brag about, Hogan is the maternal grandson of MLB Hall of Famer and Chicago White Sox legend Carlton Fisk.

Hogan, however, is making a name for himself with his play on the field and not who he is related to.

“I am trying to do my own thing,” Hogan said. “He helps me a lot and he is very supportive. I am very happy he is my grandpa, but to me, he is just grandpa.”

Hogan is honoring his grandfather this season by wearing Fisk’s

legendary No. 72 for the first time in his baseball career.

His grandfather is not the only catcher to help Hogan this season, as Joliet West senior Ty Batusich has helped a lot with the entire West staff — behind the plate and with the bat.

“Ty is a fiery guy and we talked to him at the beginning of the season that he had to treat these guys different,” John Karczewski said.

“He can’t get all over them. These aren’t 17-and-18-year old guys. He has done a phenomenal job.”

Batusich has watched Hogan grow all season from that nervous first game to pitching a conference title clincher.

“The staff has had its ups and downs, but after the first week, we got it down,” Batusich said. “I just work with them every single day.

They are young and don’t know a lot, so it’s just about teaching them stuff.

“He hides the ball well. Each start, he comes out better and better and that is the goal — just

to keep getting better,” Batusich said. “We know every single time he comes out there, we have a chance to win.”

Hogan is enjoying the opportunity to throw to a catcher that was also on varsity at a young age.

“He is such a good catcher both offensively and defensively. He is a great teammate and is very supportive. I couldn’t be happier to have him as my catcher,” Hogan said. “If I am ever getting in my head, he comes out and talks to me and I calm down.”

Batusich has also enjoyed winning in his final year in a West uniform.

“It is amazing,” Batisuch said.

“After that first week, we got it going and everyone clicked. Out pitching is going really well right now and everyone is hitting 1-9. It feels nice. There is no one in this

state that thought we would win conference this year, so to do it and prove them wrong is huge.”

Batusich has been the offensive standout this season for West, as he is hitting .557 on the season with seven home runs and 31 RBI with a 1.80 OPS. “I am trying to hunt fastballs,” Batusich said of his approach. “After my first at bat, the off speed is coming, so then, I juts hunt strikes and look for off speed up and don’t chase anything. I try and maintain the walks and stay composed out there and just stay in my zone.”

What he and the rest of the Tigers are doing is working, as West is now 15-8-1 on the season and 12-1 in the SPC East.”

It is fun to be a Tiger right now,” coach Karczewski said. “These guys have worked hard and they deserve it.”

Republicans call for Prisoner Review Board appointees to testify by grace barbic capitol news illinois

Republican senators on Monday raised concerns about four Prisoner Review Board members who have continued to serve for almost two years despite not being confirmed by the Senate Executive Appointments Committee, a constitutional requirement in the state.

In a news conference in Springfield, Republican Sen. Steve McClure, of Springfield, said Gov. JB Pritzker, who initially appointed the members in 2019, is using “shady practices” in allowing the appointees to serve unconfirmed, keeping the Senate from fulfilling “one of its essential obligations.”

McClure was joined at the conference by fellow Republican members of the Senate Executive Appointments Committee, Sen. Jason Plummer, of Edwardsville, and Sen. Terri Bryant, of Murphysboro.

The PRB, an independent 15-person body appointed by the governor, imposes release conditions for incarcerated individuals being released from prison.

The board has the authority to grant, deny or determine conditions of parole and notify victims and families when an inmate is going to be released from custody.

The board also makes recommendations for clemency petitions to the governor.

The appointees in question include Aurthur Mae Perkins, Joseph Ruggiero, Oreal James and Eleanor Wilson. All four were appointed members of the Prisoner Review Board by Pritzker in March and April of 2019, but were never confirmed by the Senate.

Pritzker’s press secretary Jordan Abudayyeh said the Republicans were “grandstanding” by calling the news conference.

“For the Prisoner Review Board to be able to undertake its difficult and complex mission, members must be able to make parole determinations entirely independently,” she said in an email statement.

“Subjecting members to political grandstanding sets a new and dangerous precedent for this constitutional function.”

“The members’ appointments and votes are transparent, and their meetings are open to the public. Additionally, the Senate Executive Appointments Committee sets the schedule for confirming gubernatorial appointees, and it is routine practice for appointees to

Jb pritzker’s appointments to the state’s prisoner review board. be withdrawn so that the Senate has more time to consider the appointments,” she added.

McClure said Pritzker is “skirting a constitutional requirement” and he said he believes the Executive Appointments Committee is allowing it to happen.

“They are manipulating the process and providing the governor cover for what is looking more like an obvious and intentional maneuver to hide these individuals from question and scrutiny,” McClure said at the news conference.

In accordance with the Illinois Constitution, the appointees are required to testify before the Senate Executive Appointments Committee to be confirmed or rejected within 60 legislative session days of their appointment.

As the 60 session days deadline for confirmation approached in March 2021, Senate Republicans said Pritzker withdrew the four appointments and reappointed each of them days later, which reset the

60 session days.

Perkins and Ruggiero were both appointed to the PRB by former Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner.

Perkins was appointed by Rauner in 2015 and reappointed by Pritzker when her term expired in 2021, according to the governor’s office. Ruggiero was appointed by Rauner in 2018 and reappointed

by Pritzker. According to the governor’s office, Ruggiero was not confirmed prior to his term’s expiration in early 2021, when Pritzker reappointed him.

Plummer said he has shared his concerns publicly both in committee and on the floor with Democratic Sen. Laura Murphy, of Des Plaines, chair of the Senate Executive Appointments Committee, to no avail. He said Senate Republicans have also sent Murphy a letter outlining their concerns.

In the news conference Monday, Bryant urged Murphy to post a hearing for the individuals so they can make their case for being on

the parole board.

“These individuals were appointed over two years ago and have been making tough, serious life-altering and even controversial decisions, all without having to go through the necessary process that’s already in place to ensure that they are the right individuals for the job,” Bryant said.

Murphy was unavailable for an interview, but issued an email statement to Capitol News Illinois.

“The Executive Appointments Committee follows a 60-sessionday clock on all appointees, and we’ll ensure no appointee is in danger of their time expiring before they are brought before the committee. We ask that everyone be patient during this process until the time is appropriate for these appointments to be considered,” Murphy wrote.

The committee is scheduled to meet Tuesday, but Senate Republicans noted none of the PRB appointees are scheduled to testify

in that hearing, marking the 11th committee hearing since the appointments were first made.

Aside from urging Murphy to take up the four appointees before the end of session, Senate Republicans have filed their own legislation through an amendment to Senate Bill 1475.

SB 1475 would require members of the PRB to be confirmed by the Senate within 30 session days or 90 calendar days after the appointment, whichever occurs first.

Failure to make a decision within this time period would result in a rejected appointment, according to a release.

The bill would also prohibit the governor from withdrawing a member of the PRB and reappointing them within two years. Under the bill, once an appointment to the board is withdrawn, the member is not eligible to be reappointed for at least two years after the date of the withdrawal.

Niles lifts executive directive on face coverings Mayor George D. Alpogianis has issued an Executive Order (202101) lifting the Village of Niles maskwearing mandate. This change comes in light of new mask guidance issued last Thursday by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and this Monday

by Illinois Governor Pritzker. The Village’s change was issued on Wednesday, May 19, 2021 and takes effect on Thursday, May 20, 2021.

The original Executive Directive

requiring masks in Niles took effect on April 17, 2020.

With this local mandate lifted, Niles businesses and facilities will remain under the guidance of County, State, and Federal mandates. Governor Pritzker lifted the State’s mask mandate for fully vaccinated residents on Monday. Currently, all Illinois residents – including those who are fully vaccinated – must continue to wear masks in hospitals and doctor’s offices, as

well as in congregate settings like jails and long-term care facilities and on public transportation, according to the latest State rules.

“The Village’s mask-wearing directive was implemented at a critical moment in the pandemic when the State had not yet created its own mandate,” said Niles Mayor George Alpogianis. “It served its purpose well. Now we’ve arrived at the moment where having a Village mask mandate conflicts with other guid-

state

ance and rules, and creates an unnecessary layer of confusion. Our business community has suffered greatly throughout this pandemic.

We need to do our part to help our businesses, and I have heard from them that they are ready for the ability to implement the less restrictive policies as laid out by the State.”

Businesses can choose to still require that everyone wears a mask, even those who are vacci-

nated. Vaccinated individuals may also choose to continue wearing a mask. The Village urges the public to show patience and respect as the community adjusts to the changing mask protocol, and to honor any businesses’ additional mask requirements. Out of an abundance of caution and to reassure employees and visitors, Village-owned facilities will continue to require all visitors to wear a mask for the time being.

lawmakers could redraw illinois supreme court districts by sarah Mansur capitol news illinois

Drawing new district lines for state and federal elections is the main focus for lawmakers when they begin the redistricting process every 10 years.

But Illinois Democrats, who control all three branches of government, have some incentive to redraw the boundaries for the five Illinois Supreme Court districts this year as well after a Democratic justice was defeated in a retention bid in the 3rd Judicial District in November.

House Minority Leader Jim Durkin, of Western Springs, said Monday he expects the Democrats in the General Assembly will seek to redraw at least the 3rd District in the northwestern part of the state, spanning from Joliet to the Quad Cities.

“Quite frankly, if they don’t change (the 3rd) district, Republicans win and the balance of power would go to Republicans,” Durkin said at a virtual news conference.

“That’s why there is going to be, I imagine, within the next few weeks, some type of map – and it could be this week – that is going to redraw that 3rd Supreme Court District to make it more appealing to Democrat voters.”

A judicial remap would be the first for the state since the early 1960s.

Unlike with the legislative district maps, there are no set deadlines in state law or the Illinois Constitution for redrawing Illinois Supreme Court districts.

The five Supreme Court districts contain seven total justices, with three justices from Cook

County, which encompasses the 1st District, and one justice each from the remaining four districts.

Those districts are identical to the state’s five appellate districts as well, meaning a remap would affect them both.

Justices from the 1st and 3rd districts ran as Democrats, which have a majority on the court.

The 2nd District, which encompasses the collar counties and counties along the Wisconsin border, as well as the 4th and 5th Districts, which are downstate, are represented by justices who ran as Republicans.

Spokespeople for House Speaker Emanuel “Chris” Welch and Senate President Don Harmon did not immediately respond to requests for comment as to whether a judicial remap is in the works.

Durkin said the November retention election for former Justice Thomas Kilbride, who was seeking another term representing the 3rd District, put Democrats and their funders on high alert because Kilbride failed to reach the 60 percent threshold required to win retention.

Kilbride’s retention campaign, which was supported by Democratic funders largely representing the interests of unions and trial lawyers, came under attack by wealthy conservative donors who sought to flip the seat from Democrat to Republican.

After Kilbride’s defeat in the November election, the Illinois Supreme Court appointed another Democrat, Justice Robert Carter, who will serve until November 2022, to fill the vacancy.

Carter has said he will not seek reelection when his two-year

term ends. That means an election without incumbent candidates will determine which party controls the 3rd District seat.

Kent Redfield, an emeritus professor of political science at the University of Illinois at Springfield, said the 3rd and 2nd districts are the most likely targets for Democrats who are trying to keep a majority on the court.

“They’re arguing about partisan control of the Supreme Court, and trying to change the map to give the Democrats the best shot, given the way that the distribution of the population and the political demographics have changed since the last time we drew through them,” he said in an interview.

Redfield said he expects lawsuits will be filed to challenge any new boundaries for the Illinois Supreme Court districts, although he said he can’t predict the nature of such a challenge.

For example, the federal courts have ruled that generally the principle of “one person, one vote” – which provides that districts should be drawn to ensure each person’s vote carries equal weight – does not apply to electing judges.

However, the U.S. Supreme Court has held that Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which prohibits voting practices that discriminate on the basis of race, color or membership in a defined minority group, can apply in judicial elections.

“I’m sure they’ll be sued. I’m just not sure what the basis of the suit would be,” Redfield said.
