Looking for a way to encourage the dreams of some local kids? Then head April 26 to the Sullivan Center at the University of Saint Francis for the annual Entrepreneurship Expo put on by the Joliet Chamber.

That’s where you will find students presenting business plans for a variety of ideas that, who knows, could one day become a reality.

Larry Wiers, director of School Partnerships and an assistant profession in the College of Education at Lewis University, coordinates the Expo as a member of the Education Committee for the Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce & Industry.

Wiers said in his research, he found the ideas some of the most famous entrepreneurs in the country – think Steve Jobs – started germinating in middle school.

And that’s what the Expo encourages.

The event is part of the Entrepreneurship Club, which is is a partnership between the Chamber, area businesses and sixththrough eighth-grade students at local schools where the kids deliver an innovative entrepreneurial business concept

or provide a solution to a community problem.

Those projects are then displayed at the Entrepreneurship Expo, which is scheduled for 5 to 7 p.m. April 26 at USF. Wiers coordinates with 11 schools, working with the teachers who have clubs at their schools. He also works with businesses to donate seed money for the clubs.

The program also has three or four angel investors who will be there April 26 to check out the businesses. They will then recommend a few to the Education Committee, which will in turn do a surprise visit to clubs to present an oversized check (but the money is real) for that club to use.

Past years have seen ideas for everything from tattoo artists to dog spas to devices that melt snow so you don’t have to shovel. Some are trying to solve problems, like being more environmentally friendly,

while others are social entrepreneurs who want to take earnings and donating to a good cause.

Wiers hopes for a good showing from the local business community, as the students are pumped to give their presentation. Students have established price points, have business cards and some have even done market research. But anyone can come, he said.

“We welcome everyone in the community to come, even if they spend just a half hour,” he said. “That would really enhance our experience that night, especially for our kids. They are all dressed up and anxious to give their power pitch.”

So if you want to be wowed by the smarts of some local kids, head to USF next week.

State’s attorney involvement, contract uncertainty follow Grundy electronics recycling cancellation

By ANNA SCHIER aschier@shawmedia.com MORRIS – An electronics recycling event scheduled for Saturday morning in Morris had barely begun when it ended abruptly due to a dispute between Grundy County and its recycling vendor.

Now, the State’s Attorney’s Office is involved, and it’s unclear whether the vendor has an official contract with the county.

The County Land Use Department had planned for the event to run from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Environtech Landfill in Morris, with New Life Electronics Recycling Inc. of Oswego picking up the recyclables.

However, Grundy County Board Chairman David Welter said a disagreement between the department and the vendor over the number of TVs each vehicle could recycle led to an argument, followed by the vendor’s departure.

County policy is to allow one TV per car to be recycled, but the Land Use Department recently reached an agreement with the city of Morris and its surrounding townships to cover the cost of any additional TVs that might be dropped off, Welter said.

As the event began, New Life refused to take the extra TVs, leading to what Welter said was a conflict over the amount of TVs per vehicle the vendor’s contract states it can accept.

Welter said the State’s Attorney’s Office will make a determination as to what the contract permits.

But New Life President Matthew Gatz said his company has no contract with the county.

According to Gatz, New Life had a temporary agreement to provide recycling services to Grundy last year, charging 9 cents per pound for televisions. This year, New Life was in the process of negotiating a contract with the county, but nothing was finalized as of Saturday, he said.

Gatz said his company agreed to provide its services for the event at the 2015 TV processing rate while negotiations continued. He said New Life did so on the conditions that it would only accept one truck – 15,000 pounds to 20,000 pounds – of TVs and that attendees would be limited to one TV per car.

According to Gatz, that’s not what the company experienced Saturday.

First-term governor to Republican supporters in Morris: ‘I will never give in’

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com

MORRIS – “Anyone who has a suit coat and a tie on, you’re completely overdressed,” state Sen. Sue Rezin said to a roomful of Republican supporters Saturday at the Morris Country Club.

“Because the governor’s rolling in on his motorcycle, and he has jeans on and a leather vest,” she said.

Gov. Bruce Rauner arrived a short time later wearing exactly that, having just ridden alongside the Illinois Patriot Guard organization in Aurora to name a highway after a fallen soldier.

The first-term Republican governor was in Grundy County over the weekend to serve as keynote speaker for the county Republican Party Central Committee’s “Lincoln Day Luncheon.”

Rauner made time to talk about how critical it is for Republicans to win seats in the Illinois House and Senate in the upcoming election. But he also focused on the state’s budget battle, blaming longtime Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan and a Democrat-controlled majority for the state’s failings.

Illinois is now 10 months into the current fiscal year and still is without a spending plan.

“What we really need in Illinois is major structural reforms for the long run,” Rauner said. “The [Illinois General Assembly] has a Democrat majority, so it’s hand-to-hand combat. But I will never give in.”

Rauner outlined some of the key reforms needed to turn the state around: term limits, local control for collective bargaining contracts, local government consolidation, workers’ compensation and tort reforms, and procurement reform.

He also accused Madigan and other Democrats of “causing a crisis” to push a tax hike, saying he will only support a “truly balanced budget” with increased revenue and even then will only do so when Democrats agree to business-friendly and pro-growth reforms.

Grundy County Board Chairman David Welter said he viewed Rauner’s speech as “positive, but a call for action” in reforming Illinois.

Welter, who also serves as vice chairman for the Grundy County Republican Party Central Committee, said he agrees with Rauner’s interest in giving governments local control over collective bargaining and consolidation.

“Not just the state dictating to the local governments, but allowing us to take

He said Dunkin lost because he didn’t show up in Springfield for a potential veto override of a Madigan-backed bill designed to limit the governor’s control in negotiating with state employee unions.

“We were able to get one Democrat off of the override, so my veto stood,” Rauner said. “But the Democrat leadership got so cranky … they took him out of the primary.

New executive director on the job at Joliet Park District

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com

JOLIET – Tom Carstens brings an outsider’s point of view as he takes over as executive director of the Joliet Park District.

Carstens started the $135,000-a-year job Wednesday.

He called it “a great opportunity” in large part because of the Joliet Park District’s reputation, size and operations, which include golf courses, a water park, an athletic center, a stadium and even an airport along with its parks.

“I’m very excited. The staff here is good. They have a great reputation,” Carstens said. “In the park and recreation field, the Joliet Park District is reputable.”

That’s good, because Carstens was brought in under somewhat disreputable circumstances.

Former Executive Director Dominick Egizio resigned in October after being put on leave following a complaint made by a woman employee of the park district and the threat of litigation.

Carstens said he does not intend to dwell on his predecessor’s circumstances.

“My philosophy is don’t look backwards. Look forward,” Carstens said.

Tom Carstens started Wednesday in his role as executive director of the Joliet Park District.

Eric Ginnard – eginnard@ shawmedia.com

“We’ll be implementing a different culture and operating philosophy. From what I understand, staff is looking to move forward, and so am I.” Carstens comes to Joliet from the Frankfort Park District, where he was executive director since 2010. He previously was deputy director of the Bolingbrook Park District and, before that, he was superintendent of recreation at the Cary Park District.

Carstens, is a football coaching legend. The football stadium at Downers Grove North High School is named after Dick Carstens.

After his father’s death in 1985, Tom Carstens was an assistant football coach at the high school.

His father and other coaches have influenced his management style, Carstens said. That style, he said, is to coach staff but not micromanage them.

Like many coaches, Carstens said there are key goals on which he focusCoaching style Carstens started his career at the es: professionalism, customer service park district in Downers Grove, where and quality of life being a few.

“I think a park district has to look he grew up and where his father, Dick

at ourselves as we’re here for our residents,” he said. “I’m big on improving the quality of life. Our staff will hear that from me a lot.”

Carstens’ focus on customer service was one of the qualities that stood out when he was selected for the job, park board President Glen Marcum said.

“His organizational skills and people skills is what really set him apart,” Marcum said.

Carstens also has experience “with all facets of the park district,” Marcum said, pointing in particular to his experience with the Pelican Harbor Aquatic Park in Bolingbrook. Attendance at the Splash Station Water Park at times is an issue in Joliet.

Marcum had said early in the search for an executive director that he expected to get good candidates in part because of the $19.5 million bond referendum that was approved overwhelmingly by voters in 2014 and has provided the park district with resources for improvements and new facilities.

“That was definitely an added plus,” Carstens said.

But, he added, “I would have applied with or without the referendum because of the quality of the park district. ... It’s a great opportunity to work for a park district like this because of its positive reputation.”

Lincoln-Way District 210 will borrow $5 million to fix fund transfer issues

By FELIX SAVER fsarver@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – Lincoln-Way District 210 officials will have to issue more tax anticipation warrants to fix past improper accounting practices, raising the district’s borrowing by $5 million, according to a district news release.

At Thursday’s meeting, the Lincoln-Way board received a presentation and report from Crowe Horwath that identified inappropriate expenses and fund transfers.

The accounting firm examined bond issues from a 2006 referendum that led to the construction of North and West high schools, as well as improvements for Central and East.

“The result of these previous accounting discrepancies mitigated the deficit spending that was part of the district’s true financial picture from [fiscal years 2008 to 2013],” Steven Langert, the district’s interim business manager, said in a news release.

That picture has been bleak for the district as it has landed on the state financial watch list twice. State education officials are investigating the district – and five others on the watch list – to determine if it qualifies for more-stringent oversight.

In an effort to control its multimillion-dollar deficit spending, district officials have planned to close North high school, but that action is being met with legal resistance from residents who are mostly North parents.

Residents have criticized the district for months over a lack of transparency and financial mismanagement.

Crowe Horwath’s report of inappropriate expenses and fund transfers gave more fuel for those criticisms.

While district officials said all bond proceeds and investment earnings were accounted for and spent for legitimate school purposes, some of the discrepancies found by Crowe Horwath include:

• About $4.6 million meant for capital expenses was instead used for other funds.

Former Superintendent Lawrence Wyllie directed the bookkeeping department – without board knowledge or approval – to reclassify that spending as capital expenses.

• $10 million in bond proceeds from 2009 incorrectly deposited and spent as part of the life-safety fund after the board gave direction to have the money deposited into the capital projects fund.

• About $32 million in bond funds used for temporary loans to cover expenses in the general, payroll and student activity bank accounts. The funds were then transferred back to the bond proceeds bank account.

The board approved a resolution Thursday to properly categorize all funds, transferring $4.6 million from the operating fund to other funds and about $366,985 from the education fund to the capital projects fund.

Those transfers will require more

tax anticipation warrants and increase the district’s borrowing by $5 million.

Last year, former board member Christopher McFadden raised concerns to the district’s former auditors about using money in one specific fund for other purposes and board Vice President Christine Glatz has said the former administration’s accounting practices were “not very strong.”

Superintendent Scott Tingley said Thursday district officials sought an agreed-upon procedures examination after identifying irregularities in bond proceeds. The board approved Crowe Horwath for the task in November.

Residents have petitioned for a forensic audit since last year.

When asked if the board would consider doing such an audit after the Crowe Horwath report, Board President Dee Molinare said a forensic audit is a broad statement and the report shows it is not necessary.

By MIKE MALLORY mmallory@shawmedia.com and HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Jamie Van Byssum knew she would be honored Friday as the Joliet Police Department’s Telecommunicator of the Year.

But she didn’t know she would also be named Will County Telecommunicator of the Year.

“I had no clue,” Van Byssum said.

“I was totally surprised [by the Will County award]. I really don’t know what to say about that one.”

Last week was National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week, a time when agencies across the nation honor the best telecommunications personnel in the public safety field.

The Joliet 911 Communications Center was filled midday Friday with

party decorations and laughs during a ceremony honoring Van Byssum. While emergency calls were being serviced in the background, Joliet Police Jamie Van Chief Brian Benton and Byssum Joliet Fire Chief Joe Formhals touted Van Byssum’s dedication to public service by going above and beyond the call of duty.

“She’s an exceptional dispatcher,” Benton said. “She holds herself to a high standard. She uses every means to solve a problem.”

In her time as a dispatcher, Van Byssum has assisted on many critical projects, including the implementation of maps and measures to ensure safety at Chicagoland Speedway.

Van Byssum began working as a Jo-

liet dispatcher in 2007. She is often the first with her hand raised to take part in a new project, whether it involves operational duties or decoration of the workplace. She has made graphics and crafts, such as the design on pins used at Santa’s Cops fundraisers.

As an anchor of the 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. night shift, Van Byssum said she and the rest of the staff have to adjust quickly, as each night is unpredictable.

She said she didn’t get into dispatching for any accolades, and there isn’t one specific event she’s most proud of.

Rather, it’s the feeling of being part of a family that meets the call of duty that’s fulfilling for her.

“I’m proud to be a part of a team, or family, that performs a really important job,” Van Byssum said. “We’re a big family here.”

In Grundy County, telecommunica-

tors were treated Friday to a cookout and get-together with both their work and home families.

“I want our employees to know that they are appreciated and to know that what they do does make a difference,” Bud Hicks, the county’s 911 director, said. “People don’t realize they are the glue that holds it all together.”

Hicks said telecommunicators at the Grundy County 911 Center spend at least 50 percent of their days each year working 12-hour shifts at the center.

The 16 full-time and three part-time employees spend as much time together as they do with their family at home.

The event Friday night allowed both parts of their lives to come together for burgers and hot dogs over a table full of food, some donated by local agencies such as the Gardner Fire Protection District, which works with the dispatchers daily.

4 from Joliet charged in armed robbery of Indiana home The HERALD-NEWS Several Joliet residents were charged after police said they broke into an Indiana home and held its occupant at gunpoint while robbing the place.

Devon D. Gaskin, 19; Joshua D. Vasquez, 21; and Teresa C. Heider, 18, all of Joliet, are charged each with armed robbery with a deadly weapon and burglary to a dwelling while armed with a deadly weapon, according to a news release from the Jasper County Sheriff’s Office. A 17-year-old girl from Joliet and a 16-year-old boy who is not a Joliet resident are being charged as adults with the same of-

fenses.

Four people, whose faces were covered, entered the victim’s home with guns, sprayed a chemical on the victim’s dog, pried open a safe in the home and held the victim at gunpoint while stealing from the residence, the news release stated.

A description of the suspect vehicle – a maroon Chevrolet Equinox – was broadcast by 911 communication officers, and an off-duty sheriff’s deputy followed the suspects onto northbound Interstate 65, where they were intercepted by law enforcement.

Channahon to get new signs along I&M Canal

Police: Man arrested in Joliet after shooting in Indianapolis

“It’s an incredible opportunity for Channahon to promote our local restaurants, health care, services. ... We can incorporate almost anything.”

By JEANNE MILLSAP

Shaw Media Correspondent CHANNAHON – New interpretive signs along the Illinois & Michigan Canal Trail and at other historic sites along the I&M Canal National Heritage Area will be interactive, with URLs and unique QR codes displayed on each of the about 300 signs.

The redesigned signs will begin to go up this month or next, according to Canal Corridor Association President and CEO Anna Koval, and the prototypes will be in Channahon.

Each URL will link visitors to a website with information about the site, and the QR bar code can be scanned by cellphones for instant connection to other information specific to the area.

That’s where the individual communities, such as Channahon, can have their say. According to Koval, the association is working hand-in-hand with the various communities to provide all kinds of information about the area through the QR codes, including local history, area businesses and local attractions.

“They might want information there on some services like nearby restrooms,” Koval said, “or the closest place to get your bicycle fixed. ... It can also provide more historical and nat-

LOCAL BRIEF JOLIET – An Indianapolis shooting suspect was arrested Saturday in Joliet.

Paul L. Thompson, 38, of Indianapolis, was booked about 1:30 p.m. into the Will County jail on a fugitive warrant, according to jail records.

Thompson was sought by police after repeatedly shooting both a 23-year-old Indianapolis woman and a 37-year-old Indianapolis man, according to a news release from the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department. The incidents occurred about 10 a.m. Saturday. Both victims were in critical but stable condition. Detectives believe the victims were targeted.

Thompson was in the process of breaking up with the woman, with whom he shares two children, the news release stated. Thompson and the two victims worked at the same hotel, which is where the woman was shot, according to the news release. She had recently obtained an order of protection against Thompson.

In the coming days, Thompson, who also has an outstanding warrant from Marion County for intimidation, will be extradited to Indianapolis.

ural information with text, an audio clip, a video clip or another website.

We’re really just going to prototype it and see what works.”

Channahon Village President Missey Moorman Schumacher said she’s excited about the possibilities with the signs.

“It’s an incredible opportunity for Channahon to promote our local restaurants, health care, services. ...

We can incorporate almost anything,” she said. “The possibilities are nearly endless. ... Being able to utilize these signs to promote the trail and our place along it is invaluable.”

Koval said the canal trail has had

interpretive signage for 25 years. The new signs, which will be bright blue and goldenrod, will replace the old ones in the same locations. They are in the process of being manufactured by a contractor, and installation of all the signs is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

“It’s really important people understand the national significance of the I&M Canal,” Koval said. “It was the economic engine that was the reason Chicago is the premier Midwestern city. ... It’s good for people to know what’s unique and what’s special about the area that they’re in.”

Within a couple of years, Koval said the association will look at which sites along the corridor might deserve more interpretation.

Adult Redeploy Illinois grant dollars

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Will County State’s Attorney Jim Glasgow said he’s “not done fighting” at the local level to secure critical funding for his office’s Adult Redeploy Illinois program.

The County Executive Committee last week rejected a $75,000 as-needed monthly loan request to keep afloat the prison diversion program amid Illinois’ budget crisis.

The state owes the ARI program more than $220,000 in grant dollars.

“The County Board is supposed to be the guardian of taxpayer dollars, and they’ve made it clear they’re not going to do the state’s work,” Glasgow said Friday. “The problem is it’s not only our office asking for money.”

Glasgow said he has reached out to Gov. Bruce Rauner’s office to see if there’s a chance of pushing legislation that would fund ARI court programs statewide.

“Rauner’s office promised they would fund ARI,” Glasgow said, referring to the Republican governor’s mention of the Adult Redeploy Illinois program in his first State of the State address and his

initiative to reduce the state’s prison population 25 percent by 2025.

Illinois Senate Republican Leader Christine Radogno, of Lemont, is behind Senate Bill 3418 – an appropriations bill for ARI courts and other social services that’s tied to enactment of pension reform.

Given the political climate in Springfield, the bill’s passage is uncertain. And the money’s availability is tied to Illinois passing a pension fix that passes constitutional muster.

Cost savings

Since the ARI program’s inception statewide in 2011, more than 2,100 nonviolent offenders have been diverted from prison, according to a 2014 ARI Oversight Board annual report.

“The average annual ARI intervention cost is estimated at $4,400; the average annual cost of prison is $21,500. From January 2011 to December 2014, there has been about $46.5 million in potential cost savings to the state by providing local supervision and services instead of sending these individuals to prison,” the report stated.

out requests for proposals to put the 1890 building back in use.

Jones said the new occupants plan to put a restaurant and bar in the first floor, a small banquet facility on the second and apartments in both the second and third floors.

The proposal will go to the May 19 meeting of the Zoning Board of Appeals for approval of the mixed use of restaurant and residential. The City Council is expected to vote on the project at one of its meetings in June.

The future use of the Loughran Building was discussed last week at a meeting of the Joliet City Council Eco-

nomic Development Committee.

Jones said the husband-and-wife team that owns The Vault has both restaurant and contracting experience.

The building will need renovations on the second and third floors.

Like the Joliet location, The Vault is in an old, downtown building converted to a restaurant, he said.

Owners of The Vault could not be reached to comment on their plans in Joliet.

The city has provided an incentive package that would hand over the building, priced at $300,000, to the developer once that much money has

been put into building improvements.

The developer also would get a three-month rebate on the city’s 1 percent food and beverage tax for every additional $25,000 spent on the building. The three-month rebate could be used for as long as five years depending on how much money is invested in the building.

Jones said the package is the same one that would have been provided to the owner of the Lockdown Bar and Grill in Chicago, when he had proposed putting a second Lockdown in the building. That plan later was abandoned.

Continued from page 10 The alternative is prison.

“Some of these people have had a hard life, they’ve never had a break,” Participants in the ARI court pro- Glasgow said. “And [ARI court] is gram receive an intense combination sometimes the first break they get.”

Specialty Court Coordinator Julie McCabe-Sterr late last year shifted about $200,000 in her budget from her drug court program to ARI to help fill the gap.

But there’s only so much money to go around.

The county’s other specialty court programs – such as veterans, mental health and drug courts – are being affected as well because of the ARI funding shortfall, Glasgow said.

McCabe-Sterr was unavailable for comment Friday.

JOLIET – Owners of a downtown Lemont bar and restaurant plan to take over the old Crabigale’s site, city officials say.

The same people who run The Vault Cafe and Bar in Lemont will put a restaurant in the downtown Joliet location, said Steve Jones, director of economic development for Joliet.

The city owns the old Loughran Building at Chicago and Cass streets that was last used for the Crabigale’s comedy club. The city in August put

JOLIET – A 9-year-old Joliet girl battling cancer will be Honorary Bat Kid at the Cubs game Sunday.

Mya Tinajero is a patient at Advocate Children’s Hospital in Oak Lawn, which is a partner with the Chicago Cubs in the Honorary Bat Kids program, the hospital stated in a news release.

“She’s very excited about this,” said Mya’s father, Antonio Tinajero.

Mya is both a Cubs and Sox fan, but dad is “a big Cubs fan,” he said. The family will see the Cubs play the Colorado Rockies.

Before the game, Mya, as Honorary Bat Kid, will meet Cubs players in the dugout. She also will have the opportunity to take photos with players and collect autographs.

Mya won’t have bat girl duties during the game, but she will in pregame activities.

“She’ll be helping out during batting practice,” her father said.

Mya was diagnosed with Stage 4 neuroblastoma in 2011, according to the news release.

Mya Tinajero Neuroblastoma, which forms in the nerve cells and typically occurs in infants and young children, affects about 700 children in the United States each year.

In 2011, Mya endured aggressive treatment that included chemotherapy and surgery, the news release stated.

Her cancer went into remission for a short period before returning in 2014.

She now undergoes daily chemotherapy treatments in alternating two-week intervals.

“The strength and courage that Mya demonstrates on a daily basis is nothing short of inspirational,” Dr. Jason Canner, a pediatric hematologist/oncologist at Advocate Children’s Hospital, said in the news release.

Hayman, godfather of Rodeo Drive, dies

By JOHN ROGERS The Associated Press LOS ANGELES – Fred Hayman, the dapper entrepreneur whose vision transformed a nondescript Southern California street into one of the world’s pre-eminent fashion districts, earning him the sobriquet “Godfather of Rodeo Drive,” has died at age 90.

Hayman died Thursday at his home in Malibu, longtime family friend Katy Sweet told The Associated Press.

He had been a successful Beverly Hills hotelier when he and partners opened the luxury clothing boutique Giorgio Beverly Hills on Rodeo Drive in 1964. At the time, the street’s businesses included a gas station, hardware store and grocery store.

He quickly upped the neighborhood’s style and sophistication, employing a vintage Rolls-Royce to shuttle well-heeled customers to the boutique. Its clientele included movers and shakers from politics and entertainment whom he had met during his time running Los Angeles’ Ambassador Hotel and supervising banquet facilities at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

For men who hated being dragged along shopping by wives or girlfriends,

Hayman put in a bar, espresso machine, pool table and pub.

For those who did come to shop, he introduced them to the latest couture by designers Fred Hayman such as Halston, Diane Von Furstenberg, Thea Porter and others.

Word spread through the fashion industry about the place on Rodeo Drive with the distinctive white- and yellow-striped awnings. Soon, businesses such as Chanel, Hermes, Dior, Gucci, Prada and Cartier were moving to the street.

When Armani moved in, Hayman knew Rodeo was gaining a reputation.

“Then Hermes, and I knew it was going to be THE street,” he recalled in a 2011 interview with the AP. He responded by forming a committee of shopkeepers who chipped in to provide benches, trees and a cleaning crew to spruce things up.

Meanwhile, he bought out his business partners and expanded Giorgio Beverly Hills, throwing lavish parties to welcome new designers. Newspapers and fashion magazines started writing about the high-fashion hub

that was becoming a rival to Paris and New York, and Merv Griffin filmed a TV special.

Hayman also expanded into the fragrance industry, building a fashion and fragrance empire with his third wife, Gale Gardner. The couple introduced the fragrance Giorgio Beverly Hills in 1981.

One of the first perfumes to be advertised with newly developed scentstrips placed in national magazines, it exported the smell of Beverly Hills nationwide and became an immediate sensation. It remains a popular brand.

Hayman sold the Giorgio Beverly Hills fragrances and name to Avon for $165 million in 1987 but retained his signature store at 273 Rodeo Drive.

He renamed it Fred Hayman Beverly Hills.

Beginning in 1989, he became fashion coordinator for 11 Academy Awards shows, which gave him a prominent role in dressing celebrities for their appearances.

A native of Switzerland, Hayman moved to New York at age 16. He was working at the fashionable Waldorf-Astoria Hotel when Conrad Hilton brought him to Beverly Hills to run his hotel’s banquet facilities.

Hurricane forecast pioneer Bill Gray dead at age 86 The ASSOCIATED PRESS FORT COLLINS, Colo. – Bill Gray, a pioneer in hurricane forecasting, died Saturday in Fort Collins, according to his longtime assistant. He was 86.

Phil Klotzbach said Gray began researching hurricanes in 1984, long before national hurricane forecasters began publishing their forecasts.

“His research on hurricanes was remarkable. He was one of the first researchers to determine why hurricanes were global, looking at water-temperature patterns and wind shear,” Klotzbach said.

In addition to his research, Gray also published seasonal hurricane forecasts, predicting the number and severity of hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean.

Gray retired from his faculty post at Colorado State University in 2005, but he continued hurricane and climate research as a professor emeritus until his death, Klotzbach said. He was head of the university’s Tropical Meteorology Project and won the Neil Frank Award of the National Hurricane Conference in 1995 for his research contributions.

JOHN ANGELUS

Missing you is now a part of our every day.

This hole in our hearts is here to stay.

Love, Mom, Dad and the family.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS CARTERVILLE – The acting director of the Illinois Department of Corrections says Illinois needs to rethink how it handles drug offenders.

Acting agency Director John Baldwin spoke at the 13th annual Southern Illinois Drug Awareness Conference, held at John A. Logan College.

Baldwin said Thursday the increase in Illinois’ prison population over the past four decades is largely because of an increase in those behind bars for problems related to substance abuse.

Baldwin said there should be new policies and laws to turn that trend around, The Southern Illinoisan reported.

Proposal could mean Illinois drivers taxed by mile

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois drivers could be taxed by the mile under a new proposal that would involve the use of devices to track the distance motorists travel.

The proposal from state Senate President John Cullerton, D-Chicago, is in response to declining fuel tax revenues, which are used to fix Illinois’ roads.

Cullerton said vehicles getting better mileage still wear on roads and there needs to be a better way for the state to collect taxes and fund repair work, the Daily Herald reported.

“If all the cars were electric, there would be no money for the roads,” Cullerton said.

Under the plan, drivers could choose one of two ways that a device monitors their mileage. Under one option, the device would specifically track where drivers go and not charge for travel on Illinois toll roads or outside the state. The other option would just track odometer readings.

Or, if drivers have privacy concerns, they could also opt to pay a 1.5-centper-mile tax on a base 30,000 miles traveled annually.

Cullerton said Illinois drivers would

Gov. Bruce Rauner has directed members of the State Commission on Criminal Justice and Sentencing Reform to come up with a plan to cut the prison population by one-quarter in a decade.

In January, the commission released 14 recommendations.

There already has been progress on some recommendations, said Baldwin, who was appointed by Rauner in August to lead the Department of Corrections.

That includes efforts between the department and Secretary of State’s Office to tackle challenges in making sure a state ID is possessed by all offenders when re-entering the community.

Baldwin said government-funded

receive a refund for costs of gasoline taxes. Those taxes would be paid as usual by drivers not registered in Illinois.

State Sen. Matt Murphy, R-Palatine, said the proposal would bring big change when a stalemate remains over the state budget. He said he understands what Cullerton intends and that it could be best to go through testing in a pilot program.

“This one will probably require a thorough vetting,” he said.

The proposal from Cullerton would establish a commission to determine some of the plan’s specifics.

Group: Don’t be fooled by fake Blackhawks tickets

CHICAGO – The Better Business Bureau is warning hockey fans not to be fooled by fake tickets and merchandise as Blackhawks fever ramps up.

In a Friday news release, Better Business Bureau president and CEO Steve Bernas said explosive fan enthusiasm for a team’s performance “ is exactly what scammers are looking for.”

He offers some tips to avoid buying fake playoff tickets or illegal merchandise.

Buyers should look for the official NHL hologram and license and buy items from a reputable ticket broker or retailer. Many of those businesses are accredited with the Better Business Bureau and are listed on its website.

They also recommend using a credit card if possible, so you can dispute the charges if necessary.

Back to blue jeans: School district scraps uniforms

GRANITE CITY – Students in the southern Illinois town of Granite City will no longer be required to wear uniforms to school.

According to the Belleville News-Democrat, the local school board recently reversed a policy requiring uniforms.

That policy was put in place in 2009 and called for khakis and collared shirts.

Starting this fall students will be able to wear a wider variety of clothes, including jeans and T-shirts.

Superintendent Jim Greenwald said the uniform policy was sometimes needlessly strict. Some students were disciplined for wearing sweat shirts over polos, for instance.

And Greenwald said uniforms did little to help curb discipline issues or the bullying it was aimed at addressing.

Greenwald stressed the school still has a dress code.

Granite City is about 10 miles north of St. Louis.

Woman shot by police in hostage standoff sues city

MARION – A woman who was shot by police after being taken hostage is suing the city of Marion and members of its police department and the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office.

The Southern Illinoisan reported that Samantha Holmes filed the lawsuit Monday over an April 28, 2015, incident at her apartment.

rections, with a goal of giving more services to offenders who are medium and high risk, and fewer to those at low risk of being seen again in the judicial system.

The way it is now is backward, Baldwin said, with more being spent on inmates thought to be at low risk of offending again.

Research shows those inmates do best with minimal system interaction, he said.

The commission’s next big focus will be sentencing reform, Baldwin said.

He encouraged those at the drug conference to write to task force members and ask lawmakers to back recommendations when they’re presented.

Holmes was shot in her right hip and buttocks during a four-hour standoff in which 27-year-old Joshua Green was shot and killed by police.

Her attorney said Holmes’ injuries required surgery and use of a colostomy bag.

The lawsuit accuses city and county officers of disregarding Holmes’ safety in violation of police procedures.

Attorney Joe Bleyer, who represents the city, said Friday that the police responded properly when Green pulled a gun. He called Holmes’ injury an “unfortunate accident.”

Chicago starts bid to offer digital training to residents

CHICAGO – Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel has launched a new initiative to provide digital training and access to technology to city residents.

The mayor’s office on Saturday announced the new Connect Chicago initiative.

Emanuel said in a written statement that the new program is intended to help strengthen the city’s economy.

The program will expand the Chicago Public Library’s CyberNavigator training and tutoring program from the current 48 library branches to almost all 80 branches.

Connect Chicago also plans to pay to double the size of the digital skills training programs now run by the Local Initiatives Support Corporation Chicago to train 1,000 people this year.

Raul Castro presents grim Maryland suburb of Washington. portrait of Cuban reforms John Ulmschneider, a 13-year HAVANA – Cuban President Raul Castro delivered a grim report on the state of the country Saturday, acknowledging the communist bureaucracy he oversees has failed to implement most of the hundreds of changes launched five years ago to stimulate the stagnant centrally controlled economy.

In a two-hour address to the twice-a-decade meeting of the Cuban Communist Party, Castro praised a new era of detente with the United States and an ensuing boom in tourism. He lamented that his government remained unable to address a series of deeper structural problems that have left millions of Cubans struggling to feed their families.

Cuba remains saddled by an overdependence on imports, slow growth, a byzantine double currency system, insufficient agricultural production and an inability or unwillingness among state employees to enact guidelines for change approved at the last party congress.

Volunteer firefighter Kevin Swain, 19, also was shot and was in serious but stable condition after coming out of surgery Saturday, department officials said. Swain, who authorities said was shot four times, is expected to survive.

Firefighters had gone to the home after the brother of the man who lived there told authorities he was concerned about the man’s safety.

Some sleeping in cars after two nights of quakes kill 41 in Japan

By MARI YAMAGUCHI and YURI KAGEYAMA The Associated Press

OZU, Japan – The wooden home barely withstood the first earthquake. An even stronger one the next night dealt what might have been the final blow – if not to the house, then to the Tanaka family’s peace of mind.

The Tanakas joined about 50 other residents of the southern Japanese town of Ozu who were planning to sleep in their cars at a public park Saturday after two nights of increasingly terrifying earthquakes that have killed 41 people and injured about 1,500, flattened houses and triggered major landslides.

“I don’t think we can go back there. Our life is in limbo,” said 62-year-old Yoshiaki Tanaka, as other evacuees served rice balls for dinner.

He, his wife and his 85-yearold mother fled their home after a magnitude-7.3 earthquake struck Saturday at 1:25 a.m., just 28 hours after a magnitude-6.5 quake hit the same area.

Army troops and other rescuers, using military helicopters to reach some stranded at a mountain resort, rushed Saturday to try to reach scores of trapped residents in hard-hit communities near Kumamoto, a city of 740,000 on the southwestern island of Kyushu.

Heavy rain started falling Saturday night, threatening to complicate the relief operation and set off more mudslides.

“Daytime today is the big test” for rescue efforts, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said early Saturday.

Landslides already had cut off roads and destroyed bridges, slowing down rescuers.

Nearly 200,000 homes were without electricity, Japanese media reported, and an estimated 400,000 households were without running water.

Kumamoto prefectural official Riho Tajima said that more than 200 houses and other buildings had been either destroyed or damaged, and that 91,000 people had evacuated from their homes.

Hundreds of people lined up for rations at distribution

points before nightfall, bracing for the rain and strong winds that were expected.

Local stores quickly ran out of stock and shuttered their doors, and people said they were worried about running out of food.

Police in Kumamoto Prefecture said at least 32 people had died from Saturday morning’s earthquake. Nine died in the quake on Thursday night.

More than half the deaths were in Mashiki, a town on the eastern border of Kumamoto city that was hit hardest by the first quake.

Japan’s Kyodo news agency reported that four people were missing in Minamiaso, a more rural area farther east of Kumamoto where the landslides were triggered by the second quake.

One landslide tore open a mountainside in Minamiaso from the top to a highway below. Another gnawed at a highway, above a smashed house that had fallen down a ravine.

In another part of the village, houses were hanging precariously at the edge of a huge hole cut open in the earth.

in revenues (after over 100 product spinoffs), net profits of $10.75 billion plus an expialidocious 15.9 percent net profit margin.

During the past two years, PG, with over 170 products, began reducing its product line to become a more nimble, flexible company. PG’s brands include Tide, Bounty, Crest, Pampers, Braun, Charmin, Oral-B, Prilosec OTC, Tampax, Bold and 55 other brands – 21 of which generate over $1 billion in annual revenues.

During this process, management has trimmed its workforce, localized sourcing of raw materials and product development, and reduced its manufacturing platforms by 37 percent.

This will translate to savings that should quickly become evident. PG’s smaller size will enable management to increase productivity through numerous supply chain improvements.

This also will increase manufacturing efficiencies and lower operating costs, which, combined with improved distribution channels, should nicely widen operating margins from last year’s 15.9 percent to 18.2 percent by 2020.

In the coming three years, PG expects $21 billion in new revenues, growing to a record $86 billion in sales

by 2020. Management also expects earnings to grow from last year’s $2.76 a share to $5.90 in 2020 and believes that its dividend could improve from $2.75 a share to $3.45. And if management meets those goals by 2020, PG, with an average long-term price-earnings ratio of 19.5-to-1, could trade between $115 and $125 a share and split again.

Trading in the low $80s, PG isn’t a bargain; rather, it’s fairly priced. So just buy 100 shares at the current trading price. And because I think the Dow Jones industrial average will continue to have volatile trading days, with 200- to 300-point sell-offs, I’d place a good-till-canceled order for the second 100 shares at $65, which was its trading low in 2015.

PG, which has increased its dividend annually for 58 consecutive years, should be a core holding for every long-term growth and income account.

Meanwhile, Tide’s revenues jumped because some drug dealers began accepting 150-ounce bottles of Tide in lieu of cash.

Joliet’s Accents Lighting helps others shine bright The HERALD–NEWS JOLIET – Accents Lighting was recently honored with the award for Best Commercial Lighting Project by the Association of Outdoor Lighting Professionals for its work in lighting the Motherhouse at University of St. Francis.

“I take pride in making beautiful historic sites in our area shine even brighter,” said Dave Sloan, owner of Joliet-based Accents Lighting, which specializes in decorative and aesthetic lighting for indoor and outdoor venues.

Built in 1881, the University of St. Francis Motherhouse, 603 Taylor St. in Joliet, was originally the home of the

Sisters of St. Francis of Mary Immaculate Convent. In the 1920s, the school moved into the building, renovating it to serve as the “front door” of the university, welcoming students from around the world.

Built from the limestone that was so prevalent in the Joliet area in the late 19th century, Accents Lighting knew the Motherhouse would prove to be a beautiful canvas to light up.

The Lighting Awards program offers the opportunity for lighting companies to be recognized nationally. Winners were announced at the Annual Conference and Expo in Atlanta, Georgia.

OPINIONS OUR VIEW

State’s late fees a source of shame

Even in state government, $160 million is a figure not to be scoffed at.

Neither is $900 million.

Those numbers were included in an Associated Press story earlier this month about late-payment penalties the state has had to fork over in recent years.

In fiscal 2014, Illinois state government had to pay about $160 million in penalties to vendors because the state can’t pay its bills on time.

Over the past six years, those past-due fees have amounted to more than $900 million.

Good grief!

Imagine the good those millions of dollars could have been put to if Illinois had its fiscal house in order and had a working state budget.

Some of that money could have gone to fund our public colleges and universities, which have gone without state funding for more than nine months.

Some of those millions could have helped fund the state’s MAP program to help needy students pay for college.

A portion of it could have gone toward community colleges and public schools.

Some could have been allocated toward paying for human services (wretchedly underfunded as of now) across the state.

What was the famous quote from the late statesman from Illinois, U.S. Sen. Everett Dirksen?

“A billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon you’re talking about real money.”

Well, Ev, in a state budget, the same holds true for millions of dollars.

We’re talking about big piles of money being wasted because of poor fiscal practices.

Want to consider even bigger piles of wasted dollars? Columnist Jim Nowlan recently reported that in 2014, the state spent 5 percent of its $73.7 billion budget on debt servicing.

We’re talking about $3.5 billion in interest payments, all because state government has borrowed big bucks and is living far beyond its means.

Illinoisans deserve a government they can be proud of.

It’s hard to take pride in waste, debt, and lost opportunities to help Illinoisans live better lives.

Rather, it’s a source of shame.

State leaders should put politics aside and work to fix this shameful situation.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Trump, in peril, talks about losing Donald Trump has gone from talking about winning to talking about losing, fresh off a stunning loss in Wisconsin. He even said the Republican National Committee has “absolutely rigged” the nomination so an “outsider” couldn’t win.

Trump’s protests, however, are a smoke screen to cover severe inadequacies in the operation of his campaign. He has known for weeks that his camp is in trouble.

In mid-March, Trump made his infamous threat that “you’d have riots” if an open convention selected someone other than him.

Trump followed that up by saying the candidate with the most delegates – rather than a majority (50 percent plus one) of the delegates – should win. A candidate doesn’t say these things if he’s confident he will have the nomination in the bag before the convention’s first ballot.

However, Trump is a minority winner, having won his primaries by less than 50 percent, most often with just 31 percent to 45 percent of the total vote. He has underperformed. He has understaffed,

VIEWS Donna Brazile been careless and amateurish in delegate hunting, and been willfully ignorant of state rules, as if they didn’t exist for him.

Let’s be clear: Courts have stayed out of lawsuits over how parties select candidates. They are “free associations” of people, and the courts give them wide latitude in how they select their candidates. In the case of the 2016 Republican Party, primary and caucus rules established by each state were in place for months ahead of the actual votes.

Trump decided to run a media campaign. His success at dominating the news is proof that his verbal skills are his strongest suit.

But Trump neglected the nuts and bolts of campaigning: workers knocking on doors, identifying supporters and driving those voters to the polls. In this, Sen. Ted Cruz outworked him, handing Trump his first loss in Iowa – the

very first contest of the 2016 cycle.

Organization doesn’t end with volunteers and staff. A presidential candidate needs to recruit loyal voters in each state district to run as his delegates. Trump too often neglected this crucial detail.

You can’t elect convention delegates if you don’t recruit your own or contest the opponents’.

In Washington state, for instance, Trump’s organization sent out an email seeking supporters to be delegates in one county two days after the deadline had passed.

There’s more. Trump’s email wasn’t just late – he sent it to voters in Washington, D.C., not those in the Evergreen State.

Earlier, Trump complained about Louisiana’s results. Trump said he “whipped” Cruz, but a 3.6-point spread is hardly a whooping. Because Louisiana’s delegates are awarded in proportion to the total vote (again, by rules made months before the election), Trump and Cruz split the delegates – 18 apiece. Trump complained that he deserved more.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR politicians didn’t fund the pensions to the tax levy requirements, what did they do with the money? If the pension board trustees realized that the proper amount of pension money each year wasn’t put into their pension funds, what did they do about it?

Bruce Rauner is the worst governor Illinois has ever had. Even the three who went to jail weren’t as bad as him. He continually states, to follow the law, follow it when it’s to his benefit. When it differs, he states “the Constitution” has to be changed.

My taxes are $7,600 a year. Of that: $2,299 for high school, $2,844 for school district and $282 for community college.

That’s $5,425. Maybe the Illinois Policy Institute should be pursuing “forensic audits” of our school districts.

When your and Scott Reeder’s articles are no longer “biased,” I’ll stop cutting them out and stop lining the bottom of my birdcage with them, because up to now that’s all they’re good for.

Oppose Fantasy Contest Act

To the Editor: Attorney General Lisa Madigan ruled in December that daily fantasy sports is illegal gambling in Illinois. DraftKings quickly filed a lawsuit to keep operating in the state, and their trade association is lobbying legislators to legalize online gambling on sports and contests before the lawsuit is heard.

The Fantasy Contest Act (HB 4323) would legalize betting on sports, video game competitions (eSports), social media games, real-time sports bets and contests of any kind on the Internet. Anyone 18 years of age and older could bet 24 hours a day, 7 days a week from a smartphone, computer or tablet.

Underage gambling is a concern, as sports gambling apps target users as young as 13, reported marketwatch.com. A recent study found nearly 10 percent of teens in Canada had gambled online in the past three months. Research has shown that the earlier people begin to gamble, the more likely they are to become addicted.

HB 4323 is not about consumer protection for those who are currently engaged in daily fantasy sports, it is about protecting companies that are operating illegal gambling.

HB 4323 is a massive expansion of gambling into every home, dorm room and office.

Call your state legislators (217-782-2000 capitol switchboard) to tell them to oppose the Fantasy Contest bill.

Executive director of Illinois Church Action on Alcohol & Addiction Problems

Continued from page 28 That brings us to Colorado, the state that Trump was complaining most loudly about this week. Colorado Republicans had decided to ditch a binding primary and hold seven district caucuses and a state convention to select unbound delegates.

That action is arguably undemocratic since caucuses tend to attract political activists, not average voters.

Nevertheless, Cruz decided to contest Colorado. And, Trump chose to short-change Colorado.

CNN reports that Trump took a week off the campaign trail, canceled appearances in California and Colorado, and snubbed the Colorado state convention.

Trump ran no delegates in one district. In two others, he failed to provide delegates’ names to caucusgoers so they’d know who to vote for. Josh Penry, a former Republican leader in the Colorado Senate, told Politico the Colorado results were “a reflection of reality; there is not a lot of Trump support in the first place, [and] add to that the general lack of [Trump] organization and you get goose eggs.” Cruz stole Colorado fair and square.

By the end of March, Trump knew his nomination on the first ballot was in peril. He hired a quintessential Republican establishment figure, Paul Manafort, as a convention manager. Manafort is a Washington lobbyist. He was a delegate hunter for Gerald Ford, the Southern coordinator for Ronald Reagan and a deputy political director at the Republican National Committee. Presumably, Manafort was recommended by the very same RNC officials whom Trump accuses of “rigging” the convention against him.

In New York, where ballots will be cast Tuesday, Cruz is running third in the polls. As in Wisconsin, Trump is running well in the cities. Ohio Gov. John Kasich, the underrated dark horse of 2016, is running competitively in the suburbs. If Kasich can hold Trump’s New York vote below 50 percent, even with a double-digit win, Trump’s efforts for a first-ballot nomination will be considerably weakened. Trump has no one to blame but himself.

MINOOKA BOYS TRACK AND FIELD INVITATIONAL

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com

• Sunday, April 17, 2016

MINOOKA – It’s always hard to say a day went perfectly for a team, especially when it happens early in the season after they have dealt with some poor weather up to now.

But for the 13 boys track and field teams that assembled for Saturday’s Minooka Invitational, the sunny skies and 80 degree temperatures provided a perfect setting for a top-notch meet.

And all of that great competition performing in ideal conditions not only led to some excellent efforts for the host Indians, but it was also good enough to result in a sweep of team titles.

Minooka finished with 103.33 points to claim top honors over defending champion Huntley (89.5) while Lyons Township (86.5) and Carl Sandburg (84) were next and also added a 133-107 win over Lyons for good measure in the freshman-sophomore competition.

“It’s been a lot of fun to watch our guys develop and to show what they can do against all of these top guys and to produce,” Indians coach Nick Lundin said. “The guys weren’t used to competing in this type of weather, but they showed that they could, so I’m pretty excited.”

The Indians, who won their invite title for the second time in three years, followed up on last week’s 104-77 title win over Cahokia at Belleville West’s Armstrong Invite by receiving strong performances from throughout their lineup.

Minooka received titles from Soren Knudsen (1,600), Quintin Durov (high jump), and Kevin Lam (shot put) and also from both its 4x100 and 4x200 relay teams.

One of the most-exciting events was the 1,600, which featured a clash of many of the state’s top individuals.

Plainfield South’s John Partee moved in front with one lap to go but Knudsen moved past him and then held him off down the stretch. Knudsen ran 4:15.9 to set a new meet record while Partee went 4:16.79 and also surpassed that mark to take second.

“I knew that the field would be stellar,” Knudsen said. “And no matter who’s in it, whenever John’s in a race, we get the very most out of each other so I was very glad that he was here.

I’ve had to overcome one injury this year and am just trying to work as hard as I can in cross-training and run as much as I could, and so far it looks like it’s paying off. I’m very excited.”

While Partee got edged in the exciting race, he was able to take comfort by anchoring a 4x400 relay (3:25.39)

That winning effort consisted of Kevin Ehringer, Spencer Cooper and Melvin Ivy. “Going into the meet, I saw the lineup and knew it was going to be a quick race,” Partee said. “Last year I edged Soren at the end for second, but he’s been coming on strong through cross country, so it was a fun race. It was really awesome to see some of the top guys in the state, and I looked at the weather earlier this week and saw that it was going to be beautiful.”

The Indians captured the 4x100 in :42.28 with Colin Marchio, Maceo

Findlay, Brandon Adams and Justin Wolz and then set a new meet record by two seconds by winning the 4x200 in 1:27.55 behind Adams, Findlay, Wolz and Matt Dlugopolski.

“This is a very competitive sport and we don’t take it lightly,” Findlay said. “We always want everyone to PR and push everyone to reach their goals so that we can be successful. Last year we didn’t place (at state) in our relays so we want to redeem ourselves. Today was amazing and we were lucky to have this type of weather. But we’ll be ready for anything.”

In the field events, Durov won high

jump in 6-6, setting a new meet record.

The Indians’ other title came in shot put, where Lam claimed top honors in 53-11.5, winning by over a foot.

“I love our team so much, it’s like a big family, it’s amazing” Lam said.

“When I’m looking at colleges, I want to have a family experience like this since otherwise it won’t be as much fun. In the last three years, I was always trying to shoot for first place here, but last year I was third against really good competition. So it feels good to get first place in my senior year.”

Taking second for Minooka were Adams in the 200 (:22.17) and Aaron Arroyo in the 400 (:50.2) while Marcus Hayden tied for second in high jump (5-11). The Indians got third-place efforts from Stephen Lasinis in triple jump (42-6.5) and Marchio in the 100 (:11.19) while placing fourth were Brennan Loughran in pole vault (13-7) and Lasinis in long jump (19-11).

Plainfield South took seventh with 34 points while Lincoln-Way Central scored 20.33 points. The Cougars also got a runner-up effort from Ben Thoms in the 110 hurdles (:15.44) and a third from Ehringer in the 400 (:51.61) while the Knights got thirds from Jacob Haubenreiser in the 110 hurdles (:15.72) and from Nate Rittenbacher in the 300 hurdles (:41.76).

32 GIRLS SOFTBALL: JOLIET CATHOLIC 6, ROMEOVILLE 0

Callans leads Joliet Catholic past Romeoville

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com JOLIET – After their game with Romeoville on Friday, Joliet Catholic Academy softball players Alyssa Callans and Meghan Harrison talked about starting a new season.

And who could blame the Angels pitcher and catcher about their hopes for the rest of the campaign after the way their squad played in its home contest against the Spartans.

With Callans tossing a four-hit shutout and driving in three runs to join Reilly Jo Swanson, Paige Callans and Jen Krizka with two hits apiece at the top of the lineup, JCA used a 12-hit attack to help it grab a quick lead in its 6-0 nonconference victory.

On a beautiful spring afternoon, which should be the first of many to come in the upcoming stretch, the Angels (6-2) relied on fine pitching, good play in the field and solid hitting up and down the lineup on a day where eight of their players collected hits.

“We’d been struggling a little bit with our hitting lately, but if felt good today since everybody was hitting from the first inning,” Alyssa Callans said. “And I’m lucky to have such good fielding behind me, and that feels good

as a pitcher since you can have them put the ball on the ground or get a popup and you know they’ll make the play.

“In our last game we played, it felt like we starting a whole new season.

So we just need to keep hitting the ball and playing great defense, and we’ll go far. I’m excited.”

In the opening inning, the Angels scored half of their runs and collected four hits to quickly take control of the contest. An inning later, they scored the rest of their runs and added three more hits and then they got at least one hit in each of the final four frames.

Swanson (2 for 4) led off the bottom of the first with a single and scored on a double by Alyssa Callans (2 for 4).

She came home on a single by Krizka (2 for 4), who later tallied on a two-out single by Harrison, who nearly drove in another run but the Spartans (4-6) made a nice play to throw a runner out at the plate.

“After our long break, it kind of feels like we’re starting the season over again,” Harrison said. “We kind of know that we have to bring our ‘A’ game in every game and whether we’re winning 1-0 or 6-0, that we’re hitting the ball hard and are doing

our best.

“Once someone hits for us, it’s contagious, so we just need that one spark and usually that comes from the top of our lineup. And we’ve been taking a lot of ground balls and fly balls with our time off, so it’s kind of like second nature to our infielders and outfielders.”

In the second, JCA was back at it as Molly Kovas led off with a walk and Swanson doubled before Alyssa Callans singled in both runners. After moving up on the throw to the plate, the winning pitcher came home on a single by Krizka.

Romeoville threatened in the third when Annamariah Cajigas smacked a one-out shot to right but Gillian Mantia came up with a diving grab. Brittany Osborne (2 for 4) followed with a double but was left stranded there.

Alyssa Callans struck out three while only walking one and hitting one batter. The Spartans weren’t able to advance a runner to third base until Asia Robinette reached there with two out in the seventh inning.

“Alyssa pitched real well,” JCA coach Dave Douglas said. “We played well on Monday when we lost 2-1 to Bishop Mac in 10 innings, and we played a good Romeoville team to-

day. It’s just been the grind of trying to get back into the groove after missing 11 or 12 days.

“I’m real happy with the girls’ energy. They’re making the ground ball plays and getting the outs that we’re supposed to get, and that makes everybody a lot more relaxed and makes a much easier game for us. We’re doing a lot of things that we like.”

After getting off to the rough start, Osborne (eight strikeouts) settled down and only allowed two baserunners to reach scoring position in the final four innings.

Romeoville started out the week with a big conference victory at Minooka.

Coach Christina Douglas hopes her squad has more efforts like that as the year progresses.

“The win at Minooka was a first for our program to beat a quality team like that,” Christina Douglas said. “We’ve been lacking in offense.

We made an adjustment from yesterday to today by putting the ball in play, and now we have to put the ball in play and make a hard out. I think once we get that and fine-tune a couple of things here and there, we’ll start rolling.”

MINOOKA INVITATIONAL

Minooka girls track and field captures title in own invite

By JEFF DE GRAW

Shaw Media Correspondent MINOOKA – Finally!

That was the word of the night on Friday evening for girls track and field athletes at the Minooka Invitational in reference to having nice weather to compete.

“This is great,” Plainfield South coach Janeen Carlberg said. “This is our first outdoor meet of the season because of the weather. We are ready to start; everyone is itching to compete.”

On the strength of six event titles, the host Indians scored 188 points to outdistance Metea Valley (146) for the team title. South was third with 110 points, Lincoln-Way Central was fourth (68) and Joliet Catholic Academy placed ninth.

Minooka was led by junior Ashley Tutt with meet record victories in both the 1,600-meter run (5:05.94) and the 3200 meter run (10:58.66).

“The 1,600 was much better than the 3,200,” Tutt said. “Emily (Shelton) was right there with me in the mile and we

really pushed each other. It was really nice to race in good weather.”

Shelton, who is just a freshman for the Indians, was also under the old meet record in finishing second in the 1600 with a 5:06.69.

Minooka junior MacKenzie Callahan made it a sweep of the distance events, winning the 800-meter run in a meet record of 2:16.03.

“I’ve been battling a bad cold and I wanted to go out hard and post a good time. I felt really good tonight,” Callahan said.

Minooka also received two relay victories in winning the 4 X 100 (50.54) and 4 X 200 (1:48.59).

“Our handoffs were really smooth and we have really worked on that in practice,” said Cierra Bachman, a member of both squads.

“Relays are fun because of the team concept,” said Danyelle Myers, who anchored both victorious relays. “You really have to be focused and together, others are depending on you.”

Brooklyn Bachman, who was a mem-

ber of each of those relays, also won the pole vault (9’-3”).

Eryn Renison was the other member of the 4 X 100 and Alena Doster ran in the 4 X 200.

“I’m happy with tonight,” Minooka coach Kevin Gummerson said. “We had good things happen across the board.

We competed well and we finally had some nice weather.”

South won three events, with sophomore Daijah Brown winning the 400 meter dash (59.03) and anchoring the winning 4 X 800 relay (9:55.90), where she was joined by Greta Carlberg, Stephanie Cruz and Jozie Macias.

“This whole night has been good for our first real meet,” Brown said. “Our team did really well and I really felt good in the 400.”

The Cougars Lenae Ludy won the high jump with a leap of 5’-5”.

“I’m proud of these girls,” Carlberg said. “This is a good group, and I really think the freshmen surprised themselves tonight with their good performances.”

The Knights had one individual title as Emily Martinson won the 100-meter hurdles in 16.44. She also placed in the 300-meter hurdles (49.55).

“I’m pleased with the day,” Martinson said. “My times will get better and I really wanted to win the 100 hurdles and had to really dig down deep to get that victory.”

“We are missing quite a few people tonight,” Knights coach Roy White said.

“It’s a combination of nagging injuries and illness. With the weather added in we feel like we are two weeks behind where we normally are. We had good performances tonight, and we just keep moving on from here.”

Central’s Jenna Diers was on the list of good performances. She led off off the 4 X 800 relay in 2:18, finished second in the 400 (60.14) and ran an excellent leadoff leg of the 4 X 400.

“Tonight things felt good, felt easy,” Diers said. “It was nice to be outside in warmer weather and able to compete.

The 800 is my main event and the 400s will really help my speed.”

36 BASEBALL: ‘STRIKE OUT CANCER DAY’: MINOOKA 8, LOCKPORT 7

Lockport, Minooka hold fifth ‘Strike Out Cancer Day’

By JEFF DE GRAW

Shaw Media Correspondent LOCKPORT - On Saturday, Lockport and Minooka hooked up for a baseball game at Ed Flink Field.

But it was much more than a game.

It was the 5th-annual ‘Strike Out Cancer Day’ in honor of the Mark Staehely Pediatric Cancer Foundation.

This year, more than 1,000 people attended and $10,500 was raised, bringing the five-year total to just over $40,000.

“The commitment from Lockport and Minooka for our foundation has been overwhelming,” Ray Staehely said. “This keeps the spirit of Mark going. He loved the game of baseball. He knew the players, the history and stats.

It was his passion.

“In this day and age, it’s rare to find a project that keeps growing and helps people. This is truly an amazing effort by all.

“Andy Satunas (Lockport head coach) is such a great leader and role model for this event. I can’t say enough about what he has done.”

All levels of the Porters and Indians played games on the field starting at 10 a.m. Also included in this event were

the softball teams from Lockport, Downers Grove South and Peotone. Over 100 parents volunteered and local businesses donated food for the all-day event. Everyone received a meal as part of their admission.

In what has become a valued tradition, all players and coaches at every level wore special team shirts that had the name of someone that had to deal with cancer.

“I think one of the coolest things about this whole day is seeing all the different names that the players and coaches honor on their shirt,” said Roger Damyen, a foundation board member. “It shows that cancer affects everyone.”

Lockport senior Mike Stevens had the name Grandma P. on his shirt.

“My grandma had breast cancer and this is a great way to honor her,” Stevens said. “This whole day is pretty special for all of us. The game, sure we want to win, but it’s about the day.”

Another Lockport senior, Dylan Barthel, had the name of Aunt Gabby on his shirt.

“My aunt has been battling cancer the last few years, and I wanted to honor her because of what she has gone

through,” Barthel said. “Today is to honor everyone who has had that battle. Not just here but everywhere in the world.”

Minooka senior Austin Moretti changed his honoree at the last minute.

“I was going to honor my aunt, but two weeks ago, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer,” Moretti said. “This is a great way to honor her.

My mom is my mother. I think all sons are mamma boys at heart. My whole season is dedicated to her. Last year, coach told us something that has stuck with me – ‘Most of the year you play for the name on the front of your jersey, today you play for who is on the back.’ ” Mark Staehely attended Minooka and is still remembered around the campus.

“I had Mark in class,” Minooka coach Jeff Petrovic said. “I thought the world of Mark. He was a special person and enjoyed having him in my classroom.

“Getting to participate in this game and event means a lot to our program and school. I want to thank Lockport for all they do to make this day a success.

“This disease affects so many. I

lost my dad to cancer and in that same thought, the name on the back of my shirt is ‘Satunas’ because Andy lost his dad recently and I know what it means.

A lot of work goes into a day like today, it brings us all closer together, you always want to win a game, but this day is different.”

“This is always a special day for our program,” Satunas said. “So many people help and make it all happen and come together. I couldn’t be prouder of how this has grown over the years. This year it has hit a little closer to home. Losing my dad in late February really keeps things in perspective. My whole family now looks at all this a little differently.

“It’s always great to see who everyone honors on their shirt. This year I ordered extra shirts for my family to honor my dad. What Jeff (Petrovic) did was really unexpected and emotional. It shows the bond that we all have, the fraternity that coaches have. Sure, we all want to win, but this proves everyone can come together, be competitive and really do something special, especially in the name of the Mark Staehely Foundation.”

To cap off the successful day, the Indians used a four-run fourth inning to claim a 8-7 victory over the Porters.

BASEBALL: GAME 1: JOLIET CATHOLIC 10, CARMEL 7; GAME 2: JOLIET CATHOLIC 13, CARMEL 3

JCA sweeps Carmel in East Suburban Catholic Conference doubleheader

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Playing on Thursday afternoon for the first time in about a week, Joliet Catholic managed five hits and dropped a 6-2 decision at Coal City.

No disrespect to the Coalers, but that did not necessarily bode well for the Hilltoppers entering Saturday’s East Suburban Catholic Conference doubleheader against Carmel at Gillespie Field.

Then again, baseball is the game where things can change on a day-today basis.

All JCA (6-5, 2-0) did Saturday was rattle 27 hits around the yard in a 10-7, 13-3 sweep, while Carmel (5-3, 0-2), which had beaten a couple of name programs recently, boarded the bus and began the regrouping process.

“No ‘O’ in the Coal City game,” JCA coach Jared Voss said. “But that was our first game in a week and we hadn’t seen much live pitching. Today, the weather was good, we hit the ball well and how about it – George gave up only four hits.”

Senior right-hander George Manikas (2-1) went the seven-inning distance in Game 2, throwing 90 pitches, after staff

ace Drake Fellows (4-0) won the opener.

The only run Manikas allowed after the first inning was Eddie Pietschmann’s solo home run in the sixth.

“As of now, George is solid behind Drake in the rotation,” Voss said.

“The first couple of innings I couldn’t find the strike zone consistently,” the Lewis-bound Manikas said. “After the second inning, I was comfortable. Our defense made a lot of hard plays look easy behind me.

“We need our pitchers to step up. I’m definitely trying to be that one main guy behind Drake (Fellows).”

Fellows allowed five hits and five runs, two earned in 5 1⁄3 innings in the opener before Jared Jones finished up.

The cleanup hitter, Fellows dove headfirst into third on a three-base error in the bottom of the third inning and jarred his right knee, after which Carmel scored three times in the fourth. Then he was hit in the lower back by a pitch and was stung, and he then allowed two runs in the sixth.

He said the hurts had nothing to do with the Carmel rallies, however.

“I thought I was pitching well,” Fellows said. “There were some errors that made innings worse than they should

have been. I got my fastball up to 94 (mph) today, and only a couple hitters hit the ball really good.”

Fellows, Manikas and everyone else on the Hilltoppers’ staff would enjoy the offensive support the warm Saturday brought. For example: • Eight of the nine starters in each game had at least one hit.

• Sophomore Justin Conant led off in both games and had three hits, two walks, two sacrifice bunts and reached base seven times.

“KC (Simonoch), Drake and both Jacks (Surin and Naal) have been hitting all year (in the top half of the lineup),” Voss said. “We need one other guy to get on base consistently for them.

Maybe Justin can be the guy. He gives us a little diversity because he can play different positions.”

Conant played second base in Game 1 and left field in Game 2. When he chased down a long fly ball in the second game, Voss hollered from the dugout, “Nice catch, Ben Zobrist,” a reference to Conant’s versatility.

• Simonich had three hits and three RBIs in Game 1, a hit and two RBIs in Game 2. His day included an inside-thepark, two-run homer in the opener and

back-to-back running catches in right field in the nightcap.

“I was thinking three right away,” he said of his blast to the deepest corner of left-center field that went for the inside-the-park rarity. “I thought I might have a chance to make home. I took a big round at third and by the time I saw the stop sign (from Voss), I had already shifted my momentum toward home. I thought it was too late, so I kept going.”

As for his web games, Simonich, said, “I just love to take balls that I have to run and get.” * Naal matched Simonich with three hits and three RBIs in the opener and added two hits in Game 2. Surin had two hits and an RBI in each game. Fellows cracked three hits and three RBIs on the day.

• From the 6-hole, Dan Devine had two hits in Game 1, first baseman Jack Howard – who started double plays in each of the first two innings of the second game, one with a diving catch of a line drive – had a double and single in Game 2. Joe Buhay chipped in a hit and RBI in each game.

“We hit awesome today,” Simonich said. “Everybody contributed. We’ve got to approach every day that way.”

BASEBALL: GAME 1: LEMONT 10, LOCKPORT 1; GAME 2: LOCKPORT 14, JOLIET WEST 4

Big innings rule as Lockport splits

Porters fall to Lemont before beating Joliet West with 10-run inning

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – Surviving a long baseball doubleheader can be a challenge.

Lockport felt the full gamut of emotions Friday afternoon and night at Ed Flink Field.

First, the Porters fell victim to a fiverun third inning and lost to Lemont, 101, in a makeup of the SouthWest Suburban-South Suburban Challenge that was postponed earlier because of foul weather.

Then, in the regularly scheduled game against SouthWest Suburban Blue foe Joliet West, Lockport committed a huge error and Alex Tibble and Nick Gulliford delivered run-scoring singles as the Tigers scored four times in the top of the fourth inning to lead, 4-3.

The West bench exploded in excitement. However, the Tigers committed two errors in the bottom of the inning, with the tying run scoring on the second of those miscues.

In the fifth, after Porters reliever Drew Flanagan pitched a scoreless top of the inning, Lockport scored 10 runs

on four hits, five walks and three errors to end the game, 14-4, on the 10-run rule.

“Those are the kinds of things we are trying to avoid,” West coach John Karczewski said. “We dropped a popup in the infield, dropped a fly ball. We threw the ball away. Our pitcher wasn’t throwing the pitches we called. He said he couldn’t see the catcher’s signs.

“There were a couple of calls that did not go our way, but I’m not going to blame the umpires. You’ve got to do the baseball things right. Somebody has to stop the bleeding.”

As Karczewski noted, there were times when West (4-7-1, 0-2) did things well. But the mishaps a successful team can’t have continued for another night.

“I’ve been at this 19 years and this is the first spell I’ve ever gone through like this,” Karczewski said.

Lockport coach Andy Satunas, whose team (6-2, 2-0) has won or shared the last six SWS Blue titles, smiled when asked how he assesses the doubleheader.

“Baseball is a simple game, throwing the ball, catching the ball,” he said.

“You put the ball in play. It’s a game of momentum.

“But in the big innings, when they happen, things will spin out of control.

It was nice for us to be on the other end of it for a change.”

In the 10-run fifth inning, Lockport got a sacrifice fly from Gavin Lovesky, a two-run single from Anthony Cocco, an RIB single from Ryne Travis and an RBI single from Ben Davis, with the walkoff run scoring on an overthrow at third after Davis’ hit.

Cocco finished with two hits, three RBIs and was robbed of extra bases by West left fielder Scott Keigher in the first inning. Jake Huber doubled, singled and drove in a run and Travis and Davis added two hits.

“The first one (against Lemont) was tough,” Cocco said. “We didn’t seem to be there the whole time. In this game, we stayed with our game plan, one pitch at a time, and we exploded for the big inning. Once you get it going, everybody barrels it up and finds holes. I hope we carry momentum forward from this.”

“The kids forced Joliet West’s hand that inning,” Satunas said. “They put balls in play and ran the bases hard.

Drew Flanagan came in when our starter (Ryan Gabriel) got in a little trouble

and shut the door. He gave a chance for our fifth inning to happen.”

After the loss to Lemont (7-3), Satunas said he was “proud of the kids that they had a short memory. That’s the way the game was made to be played.

You have to keep coming back.”

In Lemont’s five-run third inning against the Porters, Garrett Acton and winning pitcher Austin Tittle had run-scoring singles before Nate Madej delivered a three-run double. Madej, who replaced Jack Small when he was ejected by the home plate umpire in the second inning, added an RBI single in the seventh.

Tittle allowed a run on four hits in three innings and Danny Rizzo worked four scoreless innings in relief. Cocco went 2 for 4 and Stephen Hill had an RBI double for Lockport.

“We have really been hitting the ball well this season,” Lemont coach Brian Storako said. “Nate Madej came off the bench and had a big day at the plate.”

“It felt great to come in and get the big hit,” Madej said. “It was my best day at the plate for the varsity. It give me the confidence to know I can hit varsity pitching.”

Lewis beats Grand Canyon in the MIVA quarterfinals

• Sunday, April 17, 2016

ROMEOVILLE – After beating Grand Canyon, 25-15, in Game 1, Lewis men’s volleyball team looked like it was in trouble Friday.

The Flyers were trailing 21-17, before the Antelopes served the ball in the net.

Senior setter Scott Fifer stepped up to serve and things changed.

Junior middle Jacob Schmiegelt took a hard swing for a kill right off the bat, then Fifer served up an ace. Down 2120, Schmiegelt teamed with Mitch Perinar for a block, then Schmiegelt denied the middle in the most-impressive roof block to gain Lewis’ first lead since the start of the game.

To end the perfect comeback, Fifer delivered another ace.

Lewis earned its ninth consecutive Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association semifinal appearance behind a 25-15, 25-21, 23-25, 25-17 quarterfinal victory.

“You saw Scotty as a senior really elevate his game,” Flyers coach Dan Friend said. “Along with Jacob with the key blocks and key plays, Scotty created all of the pressure back there. It’s nice to see a senior do that at his last home match.”

The Flyers (18-12) looked closer to last year’s NCAA runner-up squad than they have so far this season.

Michael Simmons and the back row passed nails that enabled Fifer to run a strong offense across the board.

Both middles had very strong offensive nights with a combined .542 hitting percentage, which should come as no surprise. Also to no surprise, the middle rivalry has continued to this season.

“Bobby (Walsh) thinks he’s better, but I’m definitely the better option out of the two middles for offense,” Schmiegelt said. “You can quote me on that.”

His stats did prove he was the best middle on the floor Friday.

Schmiegelt had eight kills off of 12 attempts with only one error for an outstanding .583 hitting percentage. He also added seven blocks. Walsh, an All-MIVA first-team honoree and defending Off the Block blocker of the year, finished close behind with six blocks, seven kills and a .500 hitting percentage.

All of their joking aside, both middles were unstoppable and played huge roles in stopping the other team’s offense as Lewis outblocked Grand Canyon 14.57-5.

Julian Moses and Perinar also demonstrated strong blocking with six and four blocks, respectively.

“We ran the blocking schemes that we wanted to against them,” Schmiegelt said. “We talked about calling the setter out, getting in his head and shutting their go-to’s down. Once we did that, they had no other players to go to.”

The strong middle play opened the court up so Fifer could spread his offense and earn his impressive 40 assists.

Moses tallied a team-high 16 kills, while Perinar added 14 of his own off of 25 swings (.440 hitting percentage).

“I was really excited because it was my first postseason game,” Perinar said.

“A lot of us freshman came in, me, Simmons, Julian. We were a little anxious, but once we got into it we realized it was just another game.”

The strong defense and passing led to the offensive success.

Simmons passed 20 balls in system with only one error and added nine digs.

Will McCall played well defensively with six and the Flyers tallied 33 digs total.

“Simmons came in at libero and has done an unbelievable job,” Perinar said.

“He’s passing nails. Can’t say anything else about him. Everyone else tonight passed so much better than we have throughout the year, and that’s helped us open up having four options instead of just two pins.”

Passing will be key for whoever Lewis faces in the MIVA semifinal.

As of right now, the No. 12 Flyers will play at No. 2 Ohio State. If McKendree beats Ball State, however, there will be a reseeding and Lewis will face its biggest foe, Loyola.

“You talk about Loyola, we lost both matches in five. I know the guys want another shot at that,” Friend said. “The last time we played Ohio State, we went to four at their place. Ohio State, you have to go out there and have good first-ball contact. You have to pass. They are one of the best serving teams in the country so you have to manage that. Loyola, we just have to play a little cleaner. There are some similarities between the two teams. If we stay clean, we will create ourselves some opportunities. Both are strong teams.

“The guys continue to get better every time we step out on the floor. You could see where we had a couple of different guys coming in and all of them did good things at different times. In the next game, we just have to come to play.”

40 HOCKEY: STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS

Tight Blues-Blackhawks series shifts to Chicago

By JAY COHEN

The Associated Press CHICAGO – St. Louis coach Ken Hitchcock planted the seed right after the Blues’ dramatic loss in Game 2.

When it comes to the officiating, Hitchcock said, the close calls go in the direction of the defending Stanley Cup champions.

That was news to Joel Quenneville, who is trying to coach the Blackhawks to their second straight title and fourth in seven seasons.

Oh yes, the battle is on for every little inch in the tight first-round playoff series. After St. Louis won the opener 1-0 on David Backes’ overtime goal off the skate of Blackhawks defenseman Trevor van Riemsdyk, Chicago rebounded with a 3-2 victory Friday night that included two crucial coach’s challenges that went against the Blues.

Game 3 is Sunday in Chicago (2 p.m., NBC). The Lightning also look for a 3-0 lead against the Red Wings, the Panthers play the Islanders in Game 3 of their deadlocked series, and Nashville goes for two in a row at Anaheim.

It looked as if the Blues had a 2-1 lead in the third period of Game 2, but Vladimir Tarasenko’s tiebreaking goal was

St. Louis Blues and Chicago Blackhawks go after each other Friday during the second period in Game 2 of a first-round series in the Stanley Cup playoffs in St. Louis. waived off when a challenge by Quenneville led to a lengthy review and an offside ruling on Jori Lehtera that was as close as they come. Then Hitchcock’s challenge on Andrew Shaw’s goal off a scrum in front was unsuccessful.

It was an uplifting victory for Chicago and a difficult loss for St. Louis.

It remains to be seen if it has any effect on the rest of the series.

The Blackhawks play their first

home playoff game since they hoisted the Stanley Cup at the United Center last June. They are 28-6 at home in the postseason over the last three years.

“Coming out of these two games we know we have our hands full,” Quenneville said. “It’s been an amazing pace, tight as can be, close as can be, not a lot of room would be expected in that area. I don’t foresee much change.”

NASCAR: XFINITY SERIES

Jones rallies on a late restart to win Bristol race

By GARY B. GRAVES The Associated Press

BRISTOL, Tenn. – Facing little time and room to make his final move, Erik Jones just decided to let it fly.

Jones blew past Kyle Larson soon after the final restart and held off Kyle Busch in the final laps to win the NASCAR Xfinity Series race Saturday at Bristol Motor Speedway.

Larson led a race-high 94 of 200 laps thanks to a series of daring moves between cars on the tight half-mile track that kept Busch at bay during the final third. Then came the final caution that left a three-lap sprint on the restart, when Jones’ No. 20 Toyota Camry got past Busch’s No. 18 Toyota on the outside before he eventually cleared Larson, whose No. 42 Chevy finished third.

Jones then withstood a last charge from Busch to win the race after starting on the pole. He led three times for 62 laps and collected a $100,000 bonus with a third career series victory that also denied Busch’s bid for a third consecutive weekend sweep of NASCAR events.

Busch, the Sprint Cup Series champion, led 43 laps after starting fifth.

BEARS

Winning record attainable in favorable schedule for Bears One of the silliest things an NFL fan can do is take the schedule of his or her favorite club when it’s released in April and predict their club’s record for the year.

In today’s NFL, many if not most teams make significant moves north or south in the standings from year-to-year, and trying to figure out which games a team is going to win or lose in the future based on the performances of their opponents a few months ago is usually little more than folly before we consider injuries, coaching changes, off-the-field issues, etc.

Heck, we haven’t even held the draft yet, and there still are free agents to be signed.

When it’s harmless, though, I’ve always been a fan of silly and folly so looking at the Bears 2016

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush slate I’m going to put them down for ... .

Actually, let’s hold off on that for a minute or two and see if we can find anything interesting or noteworthy in the Bears’ 2016 slate first.

Unless a bunch of teams get a lot better than they were last year, the Bears schedule appears to be quite favorable.

The biggest surprise in the schedule to me is that the 6-10 Bears, against this seemingly dull group, will actually play four primetime games – one on Sunday night, two on Monday night and one on Thursday

night – with all of them coming in the first eight weeks of the season.

There are things to like about the schedule.

The Bears’ bye comes in Week 9, smack dab in the middle of the season, and I’ve always believed that is the most favorable time for it to fall.

While they will face the dreaded short week in Week 7 visiting the Packers on Thursday night just four days after hosting Jacksonville, they then get an 11-day break before playing Minnesota at home on Monday night the weekend before their bye.

At the end of the day, however, it’s still 16 games, eight home and eight away, against NFL competition.

The best forecast I can see is there is no reason to assume dramatic improvements by Tampa, the Giants, Titans, 49ers or Lions. Dallas

and Jacksonville will be better, but probably something like .500, and Houston and Indianapolis could be 10-win teams again but neither should be unbeatable.

To me, this looks like the Bears are 3-5 at the bye with wins over Philly, the Lions and the Jags, and 9-7 by the end of New Year’s Day after beating Tampa, the Giants, Tennessee, San Francisco, Detroit – yep that’s a fivegame win streak – and Washington down the stretch.

Just please remember I’ll be changing this prediction well before the preseason ends, and which way we’ll go only the spirits know for sure.

CHICAGO BASEBALL Arrieta throws 8 scoreless inn. as Cubs beat Rockies

CHICAGO – Even Jake Arrieta has to admit that his scoreless streak at Wrigley Field is impressive.

The right–hander threw eight more shutout innings and the Chicago Cubs hit three home runs to beat the Colorado Rockies 6–2 on Saturday.

Arrieta (3–0), the reigning NL Cy Young winner, struck out eight and allowed five hits in his home debut.

He has not allowed a run in his last 48 2⁄3 innings – dating to last July – at home.

Arrieta had a chance for a complete game, but manager Joe Maddon lifted him after the Cubs scored six runs. Arrieta threw 100 pitches.

“It’s early, it’s April,” Arrieta said.

“The most important innings are going to come later in the year.”

Dexter Fowler hit a three–run homer in the seventh, and Anthony Rizzo and Jorge Soler hit back–to– back shots in the fourth.

The Cubs have won nine of 11 for their best start since they went 10–1 in 1969.

Rizzo hit his third homer, and Soler smacked his second to left field.

Fowler homered on a 2–1 pitch from David Hale in the seventh.

Gonzalez singled in the fourth to extend his hitting streak to 11 games this season and 21 games since 2015.

Arrieta struck out swinging the first three batters and retired 10 straight from the fourth to the seventh inning.

He has made a club–record 23 consecutive quality starts.

The Rockies had their best chance to score in the third. Dustin Garneau led off with a double but was stranded at third after Cristhian Adames grounded out and rookie Trevor Story struck out.

Ramirez, 3 homers help Rays stop White Sox

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Brandon Guyer homered to end Tampa Bay’s scoreless drought, Brad Miller added a two-run shot and the Rays stopped Chicago’s five-game winning streak Saturday night with a 7-2 victory over the White Sox.

Guyer’s home run off Chicago starter John Danks in the third halted Tampa Bay’s streak of 21 scoreless innings.

Miller’s two-run drive in the fourth gave the Rays a 4-0 lead after an RBI single by Steven Souza Jr. Evan Longoria singled home a run in the seventh.

Jennings led off the eighth with a homer against Zach Putnam, and Miller added an RBI double.

Brett Lawrie hit his first homer for Chicago, a two-run shot off reliever Steve Geltz in the seventh.

Danks (0-2) gave up five runs on six hits and three walks over 6 1⁄3 innings. He is 0-5 with a 6.92 ERA over his last five starts, dating to last season.

Plainfield teen helps seniors communicate with American Sign Language

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com

J

OLIET – When Madison Curran began serving ice cream to residents at a Joliet nursing home four months ago, she noticed something troubling. About 80 percent of them had a difficult time hearing.

So Curran, 16, a junior at Plainfield Central, harkened back to a skill she learned in the first grade: American Sign Language.

In weekly hourlong classes, and assisted with PowerPoint and her mother, Curran is teaching residents at Sunny Hill Nursing Home basic words and phrases: thank you, bathroom, help, emergency, family, food is good, food is bad and I love you.

“A lot of people can only communicate through lip reading,” Curran said. “But it can be hard for them to read lips if there are accents or facial boundaries.”

The benefits of using American Sign Language are not limited to partially deaf residents. Seniors with speaking difficulties because of stroke also find signing useful, Curran said.

Signing is also good hand exercise for seniors with arthritis, she added.

The classes are even advantageous to Curran.

“It teaches me patience,” she said.

Danette Krieger, activities director and volunteer coordinator at Sunny Hill, said the residents are excited about the program and are enjoying Curran’s classes. The classes themselves are small, with fewer than than six participants at a time, to allow plenty of one-on-one practice with Curran.

Krieger hopes Curran can eventually train staff, too, as good communication is integral to good patient care.

“To have another form of language is helpful,” Krieger said.

Penny Curran of Plainfield, Madison Curran’s mother, said she has arthritis and doesn’t sign very well, which makes her a great assistant.

Her signing blunders actually spur the senior students – the oldest student is 93, Penny said – to master their signs.

“The other ladies show me how to do it,” Penny said. “We applaud and tell them how successful they are.”

She was introduced to the nursing home years ago through Irish dancing.

She has taken lessons at Mayer School of Irish Dancing in Villa Park for nine years and has performed with her class at Sunny Hill.

Curran recalled the first-grade teacher who introduced her to American Sign Language. Her name was Kathy Body, and she taught her class signing songs: “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star,” “Happy Birthday” and “Feliz Navidad.”

Curran said she continued her study of sign language in high school because she plans to become a trauma surgeon.

Curran said sign language would be a good way to communicate with injured patients instead of relying on pen and paper.

“No one deserves to be left in the dark,” Curran said. “Everybody deA sheet of signs sits on a windowsill Tuesday at Sunny Hill Nursing Home in Joliet. serves a voice.”

‘Detox’ diet not proven effective Dear Dr K: Friends are urging me to join them in a “detox” diet. Is there any value to it?

Dear Reader: At first, the idea seems appealing. Our bodies do produce plenty of chemicals that can become toxic to our tissues.

We also absorb some potentially toxic substances from the environment. Surely, in the post-industrial age we have added many chemicals into our environment – chemicals that none of our species, going back 40,000 years, had ever been exposed to. So a program that promises to rid our bodies of toxins has appeal.

Quite a number of my patients have tried various detox diets. One of the more popular ones is the “master cleanse.” For days, you consume only a concoction made of spring water, organic maple syrup, freshly squeezed organic lemon juice and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Not all detox diets are that extreme, but many do require at least 24 hours of a strict liquid diet.

Proponents of detox programs claim the buildup of toxins in our bodies decreases immunity, leads to chronic disease, decreases energy and slows metabolism. That surely is true for the natural waste products that our bodies produce. But our bodies have plenty of their own natural detoxification systems. The liver, kidneys and lungs all function, in part, to get rid of certain toxins.

Do we need detox programs in addition to our natural detox systems? Indeed, do any of these programs work? I’m not aware of any evidence that detox diets actually remove toxins from our bodies, prevent chronic disease or improve overall health.

What’s more, detox diets can be expensive and can cause unpleasant side effects, such as decreased energy, lightheadedness, headaches and nausea.

Specific foods and food groups espe-

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff cially are good at supporting our natural detoxification system. At the top of the list are cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, cabbage, watercress and Brussels sprouts. Other foods on the list include garlic, leeks and onions, turmeric and citrus peel.

If you’re in good health, a brief detox diet probably won’t hurt. But avoid one completely if you are nursing or pregnant, young, elderly or have a medical condition.

I support my body’s natural detoxification system by eating a well-balanced, plant-rich diet that includes plenty of detox-supporting foods. After all, why drink broccoli when you can just eat it?

Whenever I am skeptical about a non-traditional treatment such as putative detox programs, I worry some readers will conclude I’m just a traditional doctor who won’t entertain new ideas. But regular readers will know I’m open to non-traditional treatments that have been studied scientifically and found to be valuable – such as tai chi for fibromyalgia. I’ve even had kind words for non-traditional treatments that haven’t been studied fully but appear to have no adverse effects. Acupressure for the nausea caused by chemotherapy is one example.

I’m open-minded, yet skeptical, about any proposed treatment – mainstream or nontraditional – until it’s been shown to be of value in scientific studies.

Stepchildren engineer divorce to cut off elderly dad’s wife Dear Abby: I’m writing this as a warning – especially to older women who get married a second time to someone with adult children. Please keep your own money separate, if at all possible.

Throughout our long marriage, I trusted my second husband to do what he promised me and my relatives. He arranged very good financial care for me in the event of his death and assured me I would want for nothing.

Unbeknownst to me until it was too late, my husband had left power of attorney to his money-hungry children, who proceeded to take advantage of his dementia and very old age. Tragically, they convinced my husband to divorce me. This brought me much heartbreak, shock and lack of trust after a happy, long marriage.

Because I am a strong person, I have learned to cope and take care of my-

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips self. It wasn’t easy, and the process has been slow, but I’m succeeding. Along the way I have learned some painful but valuable lessons.

I would like my experience to help other women, especially older, traditional women like me who have spent most of their lives taking care of their husbands and are dependent on them to take responsible, proper and loving financial care of us. Thank you, Abby. –

Moving Ahead Now Dear Moving Ahead: What was done to

you is disgraceful, and I hope your letter will serve as a warning to other wives.

If your husband had shown you the

documents he had drawn up regarding his estate planning, and he and his lawyer had explained them all to you, this wouldn’t have happened. To me, the lesson here is “trust, but verify,” and I hope others will learn from your experience before it’s too late for them.

Dear Abby: I have encountered an “over-hugger.” I hug often, but respect how others feel about it. This person does not extend that courtesy. His typical hug involves picking the recipient up off the ground, which I think is his way of showing off. The last time I saw, him I offered my hand. Instead, he yanked me in and said, “We give hugs here!” It felt invasive. I know he is trying to show love, but he puts his own desire before the needs of others.

I want to tell him not to hug me anymore. However, it’s complicated because we are part of a loose-knit athletic

community, and people hug left and right at our events. I hug a lot of people, but I’m polite about it. Not only would I likely have to declare “no hugs” to him in front of others, but it would become obvious we don’t hug.

Am I odd to not want him to hug me?

Would I be wrong to just tell him I’d prefer a handshake? – Over-Hugged In

Texas Dear Over-Hugged: You’re not odd.

Even people who like to be hugged dislike being swept off their feet in the manner you have described. It would not be wrong to take the person aside and tell him privately in the future, you would prefer he just give you a warm handshake instead of grabbing you.
