By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com WILMINGTON – Police announced Thursday the arrest of a former Wilmington High School social studies teacher and girls basketball coach, alleging he engaged in inappropriate activities with an underage student.

Jonathan D. Lewis Jr., 27, of Naperville was charged with four counts of criminal sexual abuse, four counts of child pornography and one count of aggravated criminal sexual abuse.

Bail was set at $1 million, police said. Lewis is scheduled to appear at a bond hearing Friday in Will County.

In a news release, Wilmington police said they received information from an anonymous source concerning the matter.

“The victim’s parents and the school district were notified immediately of the investigation,” police said.

Wilmington School District 209-U officials said they ordered June 30 – shortly after police notified the district – that

Lewis have no contact with students.

Superintendent Jay Plese said near the end of June he was approached by an officer outside school, who informed him an investigation may be starting into a teacher.

“I had no information at the time,” Plese said, adding the next day he told a teacher to contact school attorney Scott Nemanich if police started an investigation because he was Jonathan leaving for vacaD. Lewis Jr. tion.

Plese said the district’s no-contact order led to the girls basketball team canceling participation in an annual summer camp at Kankakee Community College.

On Aug. 6, as the district prepared paperwork for a possible suspension of Lewis, the district received a one-paragraph resignation letter from him.

“I am resigning from my position as a high school social

science teacher and girls’ varsity basketball coach,” Lewis stated in the letter, provided by the district. “I want to thank you and all of the administration for the incredible opportunity to be a part of the Wilmington school district. It was a great experience.”

Plese said the district didn’t know the name or grade level of the student involved.

Police said investigators determined Lewis committed numerous offenses between March and October 2014. Assisting in the investigation was the Will County High Tech Crimes Unit and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. An arrest warrant was issued Jan. 27, police said. Wilmington police processed Lewis Thursday morning and he was taken to the Will County Jail in Joliet.

“Due to information obtained during the investigation, Lewis’ passport has been revoked by the United States Department of State because it is believed that Lewis may try to flee the country to avoid prosecution,” police said in the news release.

Plainfield District 202 teachers ratify new contract THE HERALD–NEWS PLAINFIELD – Teachers in Plainfield School District 202 have ratified a new three-year contract that increases their pay by an average of 2 to 3 percent a year The Association of Plainfield Teachers approved the contract Thursday by a vote of 1,078 in favor, 554 opposed, according to a school district news release.

The APT represents about 1,850 certified staff members, including all teachers.

The School Board is expected to vote Feb. 9 on the contract.

The new contract, retroactive to July 1, 2014, includes additional retirement language that recognizes years of service in the district. Retirees with at least 15 years of experience will get $500 per year of service. Retirees who work at least 33 years will get an additional $14,000.

“This benefit rewards loyalty, longevity and experience,” Superintendent Lane Abrell

said in the news release.

The new contract also features language addressing professional requirements affecting teachers’ workloads.

“This contract moves our association forward from where we were, and gets us closer to where we hope and deserve to be,” APT President Dawn Bullock said in the district’s news release.

“We understand the many issues that District 202 is struggling with, and we appreciate the work everyone did to produce a reasonable agreement,” she said.

The raises will translate into a slight increase in operating expenses. Funds for APT member salaries are expected to increase by 2.2 percent this year; 1.1 percent next year; and 2.6 percent in 2016-17, according to the news release.

The previous contract had a one-year hard pay freeze and increases of less than 1.5 percent each of the past two years of the

contract, which ran from 201114. Pay for support staff also was frozen for a year in their contract, and administrators’ pay was frozen for two years.

The slowly improving economy allowed the district more financial flexibility, Abrell said.

“The APT bargained in good faith for its members, who are some of the most talented, dedicated educators around,” Abrell said in the news release.

“This agreement is fair to both sides, especially considering that there are many fiscal conditions that are still shaky at best, not the least of which is state funding,” he said.

School Board President Roger Bonuchi said the district understands, respects and appreciates how hard teachers work.

“We know how much they have sacrificed in the last few years because of the recession and all of the challenges facing public education,” he said in the news release.

QUICK NEWS River Valley School gets grant for garden

LEMONT – Students and staff from River Valley School in Lemont were presented a $2,000 grant earlier this month for their living laboratory garden. Archer Daniels Midland Company, the parent company of American River Transport Company in Lemont, made the donation to the School District 113A Education Foundation.

According to an Education Foundation news release, the grant money will be used to buy supplies for a garden being built in the River Valley courtyard. River Valley students, along with some Lemont Boy Scouts working on their Eagle Scout projects, have built a garden, which includes several garden beds, a topiary, insect house and benches. The students already have harvested crops, including squash, peppers, onions, tomatoes and cucumbers.

COVER STORY

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – “I am a great believer in luck. The harder I work, the more of it I seem to have,” Coleman Cox wrote in 1922.

For 27 years, few Joliet cops have been referred to as lucky and dedicated as often as Master Patrol Officer Michael P. Reilly.

Reilly – known throughout the city by his badge number “240” because his career overlapped with another officer with the same name – retires today.

“With all the work he’s done, I don’t know how he didn’t burn out years ago.

His level of commitment is astonishing,” said Lt. Robert Desiderio, who supervises the Neighborhood Oriented Policing Team Reilly is assigned to.

Will County Forest Preserve Lt. Tracy Chapman, Reilly’s niece, agreed.

“He’s just an awesome cop,” she said. “His drive has lasted his entire career. You could never say he was ‘retired on duty.’ He’s just out there being a cowboy.”

The Herald-News archives have numerous stories of Reilly catching burglars because he happened to be on duty around the corner when they were called in.

In November 2011, an elderly woman called him instead of 911 while two men tried to break in. Although Reilly was running errands, he drove over and had his wife, Sue, comfort the woman while he drove after the suspects and arrested them.

“His work ethic [is because] he understands what it’s like to be a victim,” Desiderio said. “He empathizes.

He takes it personally.”

Reilly was robbed once while growing up in Chicago. He attended Reed-Custer High School in Braidwood.

He worked at a concrete company in New Lenox and

Reilly’s drive forced him to light duty one day in January 1998 – where he caught a criminal without leaving the front desk.

“There was a purse snatching at the Jewel on Larkin,” Reilly recalled. “As soon as they put out the description, I knew who it was.”

“He was just listening to the radio, and he got on the phone and said, ‘It’s this guy.

He drives this car. He lives here.’ [Other officers] went right to where he was going,” retired clerk Mary Ellen Harris said, laughing.

“Pretty much everybody who walks around ... I know them. If you don’t, you’re not

Reilly’s “beat” has encompassed the near West Side from the river to Larkin Avenue, but he was as likely to

wait in an unmarked vehicle in the middle of a neighborhood as visit business owners to make sure they were aware police were looking

for someone.

“If I describe somebody [I’ve seen out] he knows who it is. That comes from being in the area,” said Georgene Williams, a member of the Cunningham Neighborhood Association.

Off-duty, Reilly, 50, spends hours each day exercising at the Joliet Park District.

While he hasn’t lost his edge, he said realizing that won’t always be the case prompted his decision to retire.

“There’s a lot of good people [in Joliet] even though there are some knuckleheads,” Reilly said.

“If you see a problem in your neighborhood, let [the police] know. We’ll check it out,” Reilly said. “We enjoy helping people. That’s why I took this job.”

Incentives sought to keep courthouse in downtown Joliet County officials hope for more parking and fiber-optic technology

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – County officials this week said they were serious about building a new courthouse in downtown Joliet – but some were equally hesitant to go all in, arguing the city should offer incentives for county government to stay put.

“The development of an urban site really is dependent on Joliet’s cooperation,” County Board Speaker Jim Moustis, R-Frankfort, said during a workshop Tuesday. “It’s hard to make a commitment until they make a commitment.”

Who benefits more from the other came into question this week during a meeting in Darien at the headquarters of Wight & Company, the consultant hired for the courthouse preliminary design work.

There, county officials reviewed the pros and cons of building on a green site away from downtown Joliet versus building at the First Midwest Bank site, across the street from the existing courthouse.

Moustis said the city is largely empty when county government takes a holiday.

“It’s kind of like Gotham City. It’s dark and dreary. Nobody’s there,” he said. “Tumbleweeds are going down the road.”

Nick Palmer, chief of staff for County Executive Larry Walsh, said he and Joliet officials are having continued discussions about the new courthouse, noting that insulting the downtown area won’t help matters.

“The county executive still believes a positive deal can be reached. But name-calling and

that kind of stuff is not helpful to the process,” Palmer said.

“We’ve got to work with Joliet and Joliet’s got to work with us. If Joliet wants us to stay, they’re going to have to be a little more aggressive in this. It’s give-and-take. Both sides have to come to the table and work to a compromise.”

County officials hope Joliet will provide additional parking near a new courthouse and install fiber-optic technology to provide high-speed Internet, among other things.

But it’s clear the county would likely save money if the courthouse is built downtown, City Manager Jim Hock said Thursday.

Opting for an 11-story judicial complex downtown could cost between $232 million and $257 million, which includes renovations to the EmCo building and site improvements, according to Wight & Company estimates.

Building on a green site could cost anywhere between $256 million and $284 million, including land acquisition, parking, sewer and water, and other expenses.

“Why the court system would want to separate themselves from the rest of the county, at greater expense, is rather a good question, I think,” Hock said.

Hock said he has yet to be invited to discuss formal negotiations regarding the courthouse.

Still, it’s fair to say both the city and county government benefit one another, Hock said.

Neither side has outlined a clear list of wants and needs.

“We’d like the county complex to remain downtown,” Hock said. “One business feeds off another. Attorneys locate offices in the downtown because the courthouse is here. Restaurants do well because people are going out to lunch.”

Lynwood police officer Brian Dorian leaves an attorney’s office Oct. 12, 2010, near the Will County Courthouse in Joliet. This month, Will County settled a lawsuit for $126,500 that was brought by Dorian, who was wrongly accused in a deadly 2010 shooting spree that left one man dead and injured two others.

Will County pays wrongfully accused cop $126,500 in honeybee killer settlement

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com WILL COUNTY – The Lynwood police officer falsely accused as the “honeybee killer” was paid $126,500 as part of a settlement agreement with Will County, according to settlement documents.

Brian Dorian was arrested and charged in October 2010, accused in a shooting spree where a man shot to death a construction worker and injured another man near Beecher after asking them about honeybees.

A year after his release from jail, the police officer filed suit in 2011 seeking more than $1 million in damages. The suit claimed county officials “fabricated evidence and supplied slanderous and defamatory information to the press.”

The county’s settlement was signed Jan. 5, documents show.

Dorian’s attorney, Gregory

Kulis, said Thursday that his client, who still is a Lynwood police officer, is “very happy” to have this matter finally resolved.

“Now he can go on with his life as a law enforcement officer and as a good family man,” Kulis said. “Brian wants to go on with his life and feels this, in some way, has given him the ability to move on from a very unfortunate situation.”

A call to the Will County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman for comment Thursday was not immediately returned.

The man investigators believe was the real killer, 48-year-old Gary Amaya, was gunned down in December during a hold-up at a tanning salon in Orland Park. Ballistics tests showed the gun used in the robbery was the same gun used by the “honeybee killer.”

All charges against Dorian were later dropped after evidence showed he was on his

computer at the time of the crimes and that neither he nor his truck matched descriptions given to police by witnesses.

The prosecutor in the case, Will County State’s Attorney Jim Glasgow, was initially named in Dorian’s lawsuit, but a federal judge quickly dismissed him, saying there wasn’t enough evidence of alleged misconduct and that, by law, he had inherent immunity.

Dorian’s case is just one of a handful of high-profile mishaps involving Will County law enforcement over the last several years, including a murder case in which the father of 3-year-old Riley Fox was wrongly charged with his daughter’s murder.

That case resulted in lawsuits over false charges.

Will County law enforcement also has been criticized over the department’s handling of the high-profile Drew Peterson murder case.

Chipotle restaurant opens 2nd Joliet location

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The second Chipotle restaurant in Joliet opened Thursday, an event pleasing to some on the University of St. Francis baseball team.

“This is a little bit closer for me,” said USF student and baseball player Niko Capodice as he came out of the Chipotle restaurant at 2609 W. Jefferson St. “Our team practices over there,” he said, pointing to the nearby Joliet Armory. “So a lot of the guys are pumped about Chipotle opening here.”

Chipotle, which opened its first Joliet location near the Louis Joliet Mall and is planning a third restaurant on Route 59, is the latest fastfood option to open in recent months, with more in the works.

The National Restaurant Association is predicting 2015 to be a growth year for restaurant sales nationally, and Jo-

liet is reflecting the trend.

The Jefferson Street Chipotle is in a new strip mall where Potbelly Sandwich Works opened last year.

A Mooya hamburger restaurant is slated for an empty spot between the two restaurants.

Checkers plans to open two of its hamburger restaurants in Joliet on Jefferson and Collins streets. Popeye’s plans a chicken restaurant for Cass Street.

Checkers and the next Chipotle are not likely to open until late in the year at the earliest, since construction has not started, said Jim Haller, the city’s community and economic development director.

Chipotle could not be reached for comment Thursday.

The city also is talking with a developer who plans to bring a restaurant to a Jefferson Street location near Stryker Avenue, Haller said.

Two Jefferson Street sites where restaurants closed

Customers came early Thursday morning as Chipotle opened its second Joliet restaurant at 2609 W. Jefferson St. last year – Just Toni’s and Smokey’s BBQ House – are attracting some interest, he said.

“We’ve got people looking all up and down Jefferson Street,” Haller said.

Pizza for U, a local chain

with six locations in the area, is getting closer to opening in the former Bellagio Pizzeria Bar & Grill at 116 S. Larkin Ave. The National Restaurant Association this week released a 2015 Restaurant In-

dustry Forecast that predicts growth in restaurants sales in every state.

Illinois and other Midwestern states were middle- or low-growth areas. But sales growth in Illinois was forecast at 3.1 percent. The most growth is expected in Arizona and Florida.

Chipotle plans to open as many as 205 restaurants this year, according to its third-quarter report in October.

The company is getting closer to customers such as Kevin McGuire, a Channahon resident who headed to the new Chipotle on Jefferson Street after hearing it was open.

“I’m not big into restaurants, but Chipotle is the one I come to,” McGuire said, arriving shortly after the restaurant opened at 11 a.m.

There was not a line outside the door Thursday, but several people came early and waited in their cars for the doors to open.

Marquee may go back to Zoning Board

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com

Shaw Media file photo

The marquee of the Rialto is seen in November. Donations to replace the marquee have caused controversy in the community. said.

The Will County Metropolitan Exposition and Auditorium Authority, the board that oversees the Rialto, previously was criticized for not giving the public sufficient notice about its plans for the new marquee. Many critics want the new marquee to look like the existing marquee, Advertisement

which would mean scrapping the design Bergman offered to pay for.

“We were damned if we do and damned if we don’t,” Smith said.

Bergman has said his offer was aimed at ending the controversy and he is not likely to reconsider a $350,000 donation at a later date.

On Wednesday, Bergman issued a statement explaining his decision.

“The marquee controversy has become very divisive for the city and has created more hostility than I have seen in Joliet for many years,” Bergman said. “The No. 1 reason for my donation was to get this controversy over with as quickly as possible.”

Bergman said he would pay for the marquee already in production. In place of the tribute to Czerkies’ parents, the sign would carry the words “The Jewel of Joliet,” “Rialto” and “Established 1926.”

Rialto General Manger Randy Green said at the board meeting Wednesday that Czerkies has not yet received his money back, but theater officials are “working on it.”

He also said about $197,000 worth of work was done on the marquee, which was 75 percent completed before production was stopped. The theater has paid $120,000 so far.

JOLIET – Rialto officials were faced with a “damned if we do and damned if we don’t” situation when contemplating a second $350,000 offer to pay for a future marquee, Board Chairman James Smith said Thursday.

Businessman Jay Bergman had offered to give the Rialto $350,000 to go forward with a previously designed marquee largely as is, but without a personal tribute added to the sign, which seemed to stir most of the controversy.

But even those changes might require the marquee proposal to go through the Joliet Zoning Board of Appeals and Historic Preservation

Commission, Smith said.

Bergman, who proposed the donation in an attempt to end the ongoing marquee controversy, dropped his offer when Rialto officials wanted more time and it was apparent the issue was not going away soon.

On Wednesday, the day Bergman had planned to present the Rialto with a $350,000 check, the theater board created a 12-member committee to come up with a solution to the marquee problem, which it hopes to have by late March.

Bergman proposed his contribution after previous donor Ed Czerkies pulled a $350,000 donation amid an ongoing controversy over a tribute Czerkies wanted to his late parents on the marquee.

“Because the Czerkies’ sign specifically was approved by the Zoning Board and the Historic Preservation Commission, we’re told that any new sign might require us to go through the Zoning Board and Historic Preservation Commission,” Smith

NEW LENOX – No one was injured when a fire destroyed a New Lenox house early Thursday.

Public Education Coordinator Marisa Schrieber said crews were called at 3:50 a.m. to find the two-story house in the 24000 block of Spencer Road “fully-involved” with fire.

“The house was a total loss,”

Schrieber said.

The New Lenox Fire Protection District estimated the fire caused between $250,000 and $300,000 in damages, according to a news release from the district.

Frankfort, Homer and Manhattan firefighters assisted New Lenox at the scene.

Schrieber said the Red Cross was arranging lodging for the residents and the cause of the fire still was being investigated.

Judge: Murder suspect’s police interview can be used in trial

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Prosecutors can use the statements a man made to detectives when he is tried for murder, a judge decided Thursday.

Ray Robinson, 22, allegedly incriminated himself in the shooting death of Adrian Resendiz, 18, three days after Resendiz’s body was found June 16, 2013, in an alley between the 100 block of Hobbs and Baker avenues.

“There is nothing that has been presented to show the statements were not volunteered,” Judge David Carlson said.

Robinson, Resendiz and Zeeshan Rashid, 21, are all associated with a street gang, according to police, and were together the night before Resendiz’s slaying. Robinson was questioned by detectives Tizoc Landeros and Stephen Diehl.

Landeros testified last week that he showed Robinson a vid-

eo of the monitors that recorded Rashid talking about him to detectives in another room.

Robinson testified Thursday that Diehl told him he would “never see the light of day” before he was taken to the interrogation room and Landeros equated himself and Robinson to playing a card game and Robinson “might need to get cut Ray out.”

Robinson The detectives have de22 nied making those statements.

After detectives were uncertain what kind of gun Robinson was describing, Diehl went out to get one and returned with one that he announced was unloaded.

“I never saw the gun held in such a manner it could be fired or pointed toward [Robinson].

It’s a questionable technique, but it’s not threatening in any

manner,” Carlson said.

Robinson was kept at the police station for more than a day-and-a-half, but Carlson said video recordings show he was frequently given food and drink, bathroom breaks and a chance to sleep for several hours.

“The conversation, and I do not use the term to be funny, could be described as ‘laid back,’ ’’ Carlson said. “[Even after being there overnight], the detectives sit at the table while Mr. Robinson was laying on the mat and talking to them.”

Rashid is serving a 17-year prison sentence for aggravated battery with a firearm, burglary and attempted armed robbery. He was not charged in the Resendiz case.

At the time of Resendiz’s slaying, Robinson was on parole for a month from the East Moline Correctional Center, where he had served a year for possession of a firearm by a felon.

Gardner Village Clerk Pasternak resigns

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com GARDNER – Gardner Village Clerk Becky Pasternak turned in her resignation at Monday’s Gardner Village Board meeting. She is scheduled to leave her position Feb. 6.

Pasternak was hired in 2010 and has worked as a part-time employee since her appointment by Mayor Tom

Wise.

“I wasn’t aware of it until the board meeting,” Village Commissioner Mike Serena said Wednesday. “She resigned for personal reasons.”

Village Attorney Scott Belt said the position can be either a full-time or part-time position filled by a community resident who is appointed by the mayor and approved by the full Village Board.

Belt said Finance Commis-

sioner Dick Hileman, who has been acting mayor since Wise took a leave from his position last fall, will appoint a new clerk.

“It’s not going to be easy to find a replacement,” Serena said. “Becky knows the inner working of the city and knows residents by name. She’s not an easy person to replace.”

Pasternak did not immediately return calls seeking comment.

“Shorts Weather” Isn’t Far Off - Be Ready For It! SPONSORED BY

By Denise Freese Do you wear long pants in the summer to hide your unsightly varicose veins? If you have red and purple lumps and bumps along your legs, don’t be embarrassed any longer - get rid of them!

When the weather becomes mild and pleasant, you’ll be excited to be wearing shorts again.

The first step in determining how to get rid of your varicose veins is to consult with a vein specialist. The doctor will assess the severity of your problem, and depending on the outcome, will create an action plan for you.

If your varicose veins are mild and are not painful, you will be advised to make some lifestyle changes. According to www.mayoclinic.org, there are several things you can do to relieve the symptoms and severity of varicose veins. First, try not to stand or sit in one position for long periods of time.

When you are seated, elevate

your legs if possible. Avoid tight clothing and uncomfortable footwear. Increase your physical activity level, and lose weight if necessary.

In addition to these suggestions, your doctor may have you wear compression stockings. They are worn all day, and work by steadily squeezing the legs, helping the veins and leg muscles move blood more efficiently. This is often the first approach to try before considering medical treatments.

Medical procedures involve newer, less invasive measures that don’t require a hospital stay; most are outpatient procedures. Laser therapy closes off smaller veins and makes them fade and disappear. Sclerotherapy involves injection of a liquid chemical that causes the vein to scar and close off. Vein stripping, removing longer veins through small incisions, is also usually done on an outpatient basis.

Most procedures are relatively painless, and will give you fabulous results so you can be ready to wear your shorts this spring!

New Lenox hopefuls face incumbent Candidates want to challenge previously unopposed mayor

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – Two New Lenox mayoral candidates will run against two-term incumbent Tim Baldermann in the April 7 election.

Ron Sly, 55, and Andrew Englebrecht, 24, both of New Lenox, will face Baldermann, who ran unopposed in 2011. Baldermann is running for a third term as mayor. He plans to continue the commercial and downtown development projects started during his tenure.

Both candidates said one reason they are running against Baldermann was to challenge him.

“I am a believer in term limits and he ran two terms,” Sly said.

Sly, a retired village employee, said he wants to improve transportation and commercial development throughout New Lenox. En-

Baldermann, elected as mayor in 2007, said the village has accomplished much during his tenure, despite the 2009 recession. He said Tim Baldermann h e w a n t s t o continue working with developers on Route 6, as well as the downtown area.

He said he doesn’t believe in elected officials serving in the same position for decades, but at the local level, development projects “don’t happen overnight.” Developers need to feel comfortable with stable leadership at the local level, Baldermann said.

“If you’re constantly changing your leadership, then they are reluctant to get involved. These processes don’t happen overnight,” he said.

Judge Lance Peterson nois Criminal Justice Authority and have all of our documents in place,” Judge Lance Peterson said Jan. 27. “We were informed that the governor’s executive order froze all contracts while the governor’s office decides what will be funded.”

Mental Health Court, designed to divert nonviolent, mentallyilloffendersawayfrom prisons and into a rehabilitation program, was scheduled to start Sunday in Grundy County.

Peterson said four defendants were identified to appear in court this week.

Instead, the defendants will have to go through traditional court and will have to discuss

with their lawyers what they will do. He said the Grundy County justice system always has been sensitive to defendants who would benefit from mental health services.

Grundy County State’s Attorney Jason Helland said members of the mental health team are looking at other options to continue to move ahead with the court.

“We figured as a team to continue to have meetings and see if we can move forward,” Helland said. “We can’t just fold up and go home.”

Organizers originally submitted an application for $100,000 for a full year and hoped to begin the program last

fall. But they were told the money was not available and to resubmit a grant application for six months.

The group received word Jan. 8 that the resubmitted application was approved.

The funding comes from the state and is administered through Illinois Adult Redeploy, an organization sponsoring state programs aimed at reducing prison overcrowding, disrupting the incarceration cycle and saving taxpayer money.

Helland said the goal is to keep mentally ill offenders from recommitting crimes and returning to prison by providing proper medication and treatments.

Grundy County Mental Health Court organizers and advocates include Peterson, Helland, the public defender’s office, the probation department, Grundy County Sheriff Kevin Callahan’s office, the Grundy County Health Department and Susie Galloway with Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers.

RTA launches newly designed website CHICAGO – The Regional Transportation Authority has launched a newly redesigned website.

The new site provides a wide-range of resources, from the RTA Trip Planner, which received more than 5 million visits last year, to a variety of documents and studies that offer information about the transit region, the RTA and the CTA, Metra, Pace and ADA Paratransit, according to a news release from RTA.

MORRIS – The Grundy County Mental Health Court program has been put on hold because of the governor’s executive order freezing all state discretionary spending – including halting the awarding of contracts and grants.

“Years of bad decisions have put Illinois in a financial crisis,” Gov. Bruce Rauner said in a Jan. 12 news release, when the order was signed. “Today, we start the process of putting our state back on the road to fiscal stability by reviewing agency spending, stopping contracts and grants, and selling excess state property.”

In January local officials and professionals – who have worked for five years to obtain approval for the Mental Health Court – announced they were moving forward after receiving a $51,380 grant from Adult Redeploy Illinois.

That grant was stopped with the executive order.

Amtrak to spend $12M on Chicago Union Station rehab

CHICAGO – Amtrak will spend $12 million on renovations to Chicago’s 90-year-old Union Station.

It’s the country’s third busiest rail terminal and often reaches maximum capacity. About 120,000 passengers pass through it each day, and waiting areas and platforms have become overcrowded.

Passengers also have complained of cold air blowing in through entrances, and twice this month sprinkler systems froze, causing pipes to burst.

Amtrak owns the station. Metra commuter rail service trains also use the terminal.

The new project will include planning and design work for a lager passenger concourse, safe-

ty improvements, better temperature controls and repairs to the building’s facade.

Amtrak, the city and others have been working out plans to overhaul the station for several years.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s office said Thursday a complete overhaul will require $500 million.

2 plead guilty to criminal neglect of Edwardsville woman

EDWARDSVILLE – Two relatives of an 85-year-old Edwardsville woman who officials say died of neglect have pleaded guilty in an elder abuse case.

An investigation was launched after first responders in February 2011 reported poor conditions in Maryann Paproth’s home and suspicious wounds caused by skin ulcers and dehydration. Investigators determined the woman had not received appropriate food, water, hygienic care or medical treatment. They said those factors led to her Feb. 24, 2011 death.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Survivalist pleads not guilty eligible for the death penalty. The in trooper’s ambush killing court also rejected an appeal in

MILFORD, Pa. – A survivalist who spent more than a month on the run after authorities say he killed one Pennsylvania State Police trooper and wounded another in a late-night ambush pleaded not guilty Thursday, setting the stage for a trial at which prosecutors will seek to put him on death row.

Eric Frein, 31, was arraigned at the Pike County Courthouse in Milford. He participated by video from the county prison, looking into the camera and politely answering questions posed to him by his attorney and the judge.

Asked by defense lawyer Michael Weinstein whether he understood a not-guilty plea would be entered on his behalf, Frein answered in a clear, calm voice: “That’s what I wish.”

Frein is charged with first-degree murder, terrorism and other offenses in the Sept. 12 ambush that killed Cpl. Bryon Dickson and severely wounded Trooper Alex Douglass outside the police barracks in Blooming Grove.

Obama calls for a spending surge to boost the economy

By JOSH LEDERMAN and ANDREW TAYLOR The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Declaring an end to “mindless austerity,” President Barack Obama called for a surge in government spending Thursday, and asked Congress to throw out the sweeping budget cuts both parties agreed to four years ago when deficits were spiraling out of control.

Obama’s proposed $74 billion in added spending – about 7 percent – would be split about evenly between defense programs and the domestic side of the budget. Although he’s sought before to reverse the “sequester” “spending cuts, Obama’s pitch in this year’s budget comes with the added oomph of an improving economy and big recent declines in federal deficits.

“If Congress rejects my plan and refuses to undo these arbitrary cuts, it will threaten our economy and our military,” Obama warned in an op-ed article Thursday in The Huffington Post. He said the nation’s debt still would decline as a share of the overall economy under his plan.

The figures represent Obama’s opening offer as he gears up for an inevitable budget battle with the new Republican-run Congress. He was to brief House Democrats on the plan Thursday evening in Philadelphia at their annual retreat.

The Republicans promise to produce a balanced budget blueprint this spring even as they worry about Pentagon spending.

The Senate’s No. 2 Republican, John Cornyn of Texas, dismissed the Obama proposals as “happy talk.” And Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania said, “We can’t be abandoning spending discipline. That’s what the president wants to do.”

GOP lawmakers are focused primarily on reversing restraints on military spending, while Democrats and Obama are seeking new domestic dollars for education, research, health care and infrastructure. Republicans argue that spending more in so many areas would undo the hard-fought reductions in the country’s annual deficit.

They also oppose many of the tax hikes Obama has proposed to pay for the increased

spending.

Neither party has tender feelings for the sequester, which cuts bluntly across the entire federal budget and was originally designed more as a threat than as an actual spending plan.

With the economy gaining steam while deficits decline, both parties have signaled they want to roll some of the cuts back. A bipartisan deal struck previously softened the blow by about a third for the 2014 and 2015 budget years.

Both parties are generally inclined to boost spending for the military, which is wrestling with threats from terrorism and extremist groups and has been strained by budget limits and two long wars.

“At what point do we, the institution and our nation, lose our soldiers’ trust?” asked Gen. Raymond Odierno, the Army chief of staff, at a Senate hearing on Wednesday.

Yet among congressional Republicans, there’s no unanimity about where more Pentagon funds should come from – a division within the GOP that Obama appeared eager to exploit.

Study: ‘Anonymized’ credit card data not so anonymous The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – Credit card data isn’t quite as anonymous as promised, a new study says.

Scientists showed they can identify you with more than 90 percent accuracy by looking at just four purchases, three if the price is included – and this is after companies “anonymized” the transaction records, saying they wiped away names and other personal details.

The study out of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, published Thursday in the journal Science, examined three months of credit card records for 1.1 million people.

“We are showing that the privacy we are told that we have isn’t real,” study co-author Alex “Sandy” Pentland of MIT said in an email. His research found that adding just a glimmer of information about a person from an outside

source was enough to identify him or her in the trove of financial transactions they studied.

Companies routinely strip away personal identifiers from credit card data when they share information with outsiders, saying the data is now safe because it is “anonymized.”

But the MIT researchers showed that anonymized isn’t quite the same as anonymous.

Drawing upon a sea of data in an unnamed developed country, the researchers pieced together available information to see how easily they could identify somebody. They looked at information from 10,000 shops, with each data piece timestamped to calculate how many pieces of data it would take on average to find somebody, said study lead author Yves-Alexandre de Montjoye, also of MIT. In this case the experts needed only four pieces, three if price is involved.

CHAMPAIGN – Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner wants to generate more money to spend on higher education, he told a crowd at the University of Illinois’ flagship campus Thursday, but he wants school administrators to take a first step by better managing finances and reducing costs.

The new Republican governor continued to advocate limits on union influence, saying public-employee unions shouldn’t be able to help finance the campaigns of politicians with whom they negotiate contracts.

In his speech at the I Hotel and during a brief session with reporters, Rauner repeated themes aimed at improving the state’s business climate and economy that he’s stressed in other appearances around the state during his first month – all previews of his first State of the State Address on Feb. 4 and Feb. 18 budget address.

He said the University of Illinois is a strong driver of a better, more economically fit Illinois. For the school to be well-financed and draw the

best faculty, it must first look for places to cut spending.

“We have got to deal with the bureaucracies – I’m going to demand that we do it,” he said without offering details of what he’d like to see happen.

He also said the university “was on the right track” when it recently froze tuition for the coming year.

Urbana-Champaign campus Chancellor Phyllis Wise listened to Rauner from just a few feet away and said afterward that he delivered a powerful message – one the university will heed.

“We can point out some things that I think can really help,” said Wise, who was a member of Rauner’s transition team. “We’re ready to share the pain with the citizens of the state of Illinois. We have to figure out how we can be efficient.”

Wise has said she expects tighter state funding but doesn’t see wage freezes and employee furloughs as options to help control spending.

About 30 percent of the university’s $5.6 billion budget comes from state funding.

Rauner also told the packed conference room that conflicts of interest bog down Illinois’

competitiveness.

“Groups that contract with the state should not be making campaign contributions to the people across the table with whom they’re negotiating,” he said, while adding that he isn’t anti-union. Earlier this week, however, Rauner proposed right-to-work zones in the state, in which employees could choose whether to pay union dues.

Outside the hotel, about 120 union workers and their supporters picketed in gusty, 35-degree weather. Matthew Kelly, president of the Champaign County Central Labor Council of the AFL-CIO, said the unions feel singled out by Rauner.

“To say that unions and union members are the problem, the only problem with the state, I disagree with that,” Kelly said. “They’re trying to solve all the state’s debt problems on our backs.”

The governor didn’t offer details, but said some state agencies are starting to run out of money with the end of the fiscal year, on June 31 still months away.

“We’ve got a plan to deal with it,” he said. “We’ll be outlining it very shortly.”

WASHINGTON – Attorney general nominee Loretta Lynch won two key Republican endorsements Thursday en route to likely confirmation as the first black woman in the nation’s top law enforcement job.

“I believe she’s not only qualified but exceptionally well-qualified and a very good person, to boot,” Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah, a senior Republican on Loretta the Senate Judi- Lynch ciary Committee, declared from the dais on the second day of Lynch’s confirmation hearing to replace Eric Holder.

Another committee Republican, Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona, said later he, too, intended to back Lynch. GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said he was inclined to do the same.

That seemed to guarantee Lynch’s approval by the Judiciary Committee in coming

weeks, since she needs only two Republican votes on the panel if all Democrats back her. From there, her nomination would move to the full Senate, where she also is likely to win approval.

Lynch, 55, the top federal prosecutor since 2010 for parts of New York City and Long Island, promised senators a fresh start from Holder, who has clashed repeatedly with congressional Republicans during his six years in the job. Republicans deride him as a liberal firebrand and cheerleader for President Barack Obama, and can barely wait to be rid of him.

That accounted in part for the swell of GOP support for Lynch after a daylong confirmation hearing Wednesday where she calmly pledged independence from Obama and promised to work with the Republican-led Congress.

“If confirmed as attorney general, I would be myself. I would be Loretta Lynch,” she said, when asked how senators could be assured that she would lead differently.

OUR VIEW

Thumbs up to caring for the whole patient The Herald-News Editorial Board offers this week’s thumbs-up and thumbs-down: Thumbs up: to the 7 West floor at Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Joliet for caring so much for patients and co-workers that they are willing to raise funds – on their own time – to help them.

In years past, the 7 West staff participated in a benefit that raised money for a nonprofit in the community that has since closed. So for the last three years, they have organized a bowling event to continue their mission of reaching out. This event has

raised $17,000 in the last two years – for a co-worker whose husband had ALS and for Joliet Area Community Hospice respectively. Proceeds this year will go to Ryan Bernickus of Morris, a pharmacy college student currently battling osteosarcoma, a cancer that begins in the bones.

These endeavors truly are inspiring examples of what it means to “care for the whole patient.”

Thumbs down: to Gov. Bruce Rauner for not showing more than a passing concern at the loss of jobs at the Caterpillar plant in Troy Town-

ship. Local officials have either said they’ve not heard back from Rauner’s office, or have no idea who they should talk to, about the potential job loss. And when questioned by a reporter, the governor’s spokesperson offered nothing other than a canned response about Illinois’ anti-business climate. No mention, unfortunately, about the 230 workers that might lose their jobs in this latest action. It is early in the Rauner administration, but already, the picture seems bleak for working people.

Thumbs up: to Annette Bianchi of Frankfort for seeing

the glass as overflowing rather than part empty. From the moment she found out her son Matt, now 22, had autism, she has continually sought ways for Matt to flourish in the world. Today, Matt earns an income as an artist through a Chicago nonprofit that supports developmentally and mentally disabled professional artists and participates in New Lenox Wood Works through Trinity Services in New Lenox. Bianchi’s efforts are a reminder that all of us have talents we are meant to fully develop, despite challenges along the way.

Thumbs up: to all who donate blood. January is blood donation month, and before the month is out, emergency services, medical suppliers and hospital personnel are urging everyone to consider giving to save lives. January is the highest transfusion month of the year as patients who can delay their nonemergency surgeries and treatments do so until after the holidays, according to a news release from Heartland Blood Centers. We hope all who are able take time to donate blood – not just this month, but whenever they can.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR TIME FOR CHANGES IN POLITICS

To the Editor: I was reading the paper this morning and I have to admit a tear came to my eye. So much carnage in the Middle East and Africa. So many people facing horrible death.

I thought about all the Afghan and Iraq troops that fought side by side with our boys and girls and wondered how many saved some of our kids lives. It made me sad to think about how we let them down. Walking away from them, their families and yes, their children.

Thank you Mr. President, for leaving these people so you, your fellow Democrats and cronies, can get a few extra votes and make a few extra dollars. Forget what you all are doing to our country.

It’s what you are doing to the World.

2016 is coming up folks. Don’t you think it’s time we start getting rid of these guys and gals? We also really need to have a constitutional convention and make term limits and a flat tax a permanent part of our Constitution.

PREP WRESTLING: MINOOKA 39, PLAINFIELD CENTRAL 34

Indians rally past Wildcats for SPC win

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com MINOOKA – There have been bigger dual meets between Minooka and Plainfield Central wrestling throughout the years, but Thursday’s matchup between the two rivals was probably one of the more dramatic in the longtime series.

After the Wildcats claimed six straight wins to grab a 17-point lead, the Indians responded by winning five of the last six to claim a 39-34 win on a night that it honored three seniors.

“When you looked at the lineups on paper, it may not have had the appeal as some of those in years past, but we managed to make it an exciting one,” Indians coach Jeff Charlebois said. “We had five freshmen and a sophomore competing, but that’s how it’s been this year. We have definitely improved from the night before Thanksgiving to today.

“Noah Perez wrestled his first varsity match last week and this was only his second and he didn’t succumb to the pressure in a tight match and came through for us big. And Derek Wentworth is a freshman who’s just scratching 240

Minooka’s Derek Wentworth and Plainfield Central’s Kamil Fie struggle for control during the 285-pound match Thursday in Minooka. Wentworth won 3-2 to secure the team win for Minooka. pounds. When you have some kids out, it’s nice when get you some others the opportunity to compete and see what it’s about.”

The Wildcats still led 34-24 with three matches left after Akwasi Aikins won by technical fall at 182 but Minooka won the final three matches, starting with Josh Bouie’s fall at 195.

The final two matches were up for grabs with less than a minute to go. Perez swung the momentum toward Minooka when he pinned John Harris with 21 seconds left at 220.

Then in the finale at 285, Central’s Kamil Fit took a 2-0 lead in the first period and carried it into the third, when he yielded an escape to Wentworth. It remained 2-1 until the undersized Indian freshman got a takedown with six seconds left to capture a 3-2 win.

“We knew that it was senior night so we wanted to put on a show,” said Bouie, who is joined in the senior class by Chris Hiscock and Erik McMillin. “We’re getting healthy right now and it seems that we’re getting a little bit of mo-

mentum with these last duals and that should help us later on. We have a lot of guys in our middle- and upperweights who can make some noise in the postseason and some of our young guys can learn from that.”

Two of those young guys, the McDowell twins, got tings started off well for Minooka.

Zach won by fall at 106 and Adam followed with a forfeit win to give the hosts a quick 12-0 lead in the Southwest Prairie Conference match.

But then it was Central’s time to shine, and that’s just

what happened, beginning with Ethan Plese’s 6-0 win over Jake Bugajski at 120. Cody England followed with a 15-3 victory and then John Nudera won by technical fall at 132 to create a 12-all tie.

The Wildcats moved in front when Jared Ellingwood recorded a fall at 138 and Clayton Ledbetter followed up with a win by technical fall.

Ryan Yohe completed the run when he got a fall at 152 to give Central a 29-12 advantage.

But Minooka answered with a first-pin from Kenny Kirkland at 160 and then a similar effort from Carson Oughton at 170 to close to within 29-24.

After Aikins claimed the final Wildcat win, the Indians closed with three victories, including the final two in dramatic fashion.

“We’ve been working hard in the room and have really been getting at it,” Kirkland said. “We have a lot of guys who are injured but hopefully we can get some of them back for the regional and then hopefully make a run at getting to team state. Our lower level guys have really been stepping up for us. I like how we may start off slow, but we finish strong.”

BOYS BASKETBALL: JOLIET WEST 70, STAGG 46

Tigers cruise past Chargers in SWSC Blue action

By TIM TIERNEY Shaw Media Correspondent JOLIET – To Joliet West boys basketball coach Nick DiForti, the first half of the SouthWest Suburban Conference Blue schedule ended with the glass half full for the Tigers.

After a win last week at Lincoln-Way East, the Tigers made it back-to-back conference victories with a decisive 70-46 win Thursday over visiting Stagg.

“Our kids played with a lot of heart and intensity. That’s something we’ve been asking them,” DiForti said. “We had a very, very good week of practice. The last two weeks actual-

ly have been really good. Hopefully, we can carry that into the second half of the conference.”

West started slow, missing seven of its first eight shots and falling behind, 13-4, but the Tigers slowly put together a quick-moving offensive attack and a defensive presence at the other end.

“We have a lot of pretty equal talent. That’s why we get to play a lot of players,” DiForti said. “The way we play predicates that as well. We play fast.”

Eight players scored for West (10-9, 3-4) in the first half, 10 players total for the game.

The 13-4 deficit became a 14all tie late in the first quarter

thanks to six first-quarter points from sophomore guard Teyvion Kirk.

Trevian Bell contributed seven points in the second quarter and several of his teammates had point-producing drives to the basket to give West a 35-30 halftime lead.

“Early in the game we knew we had to pick up the intensity,” Kirk said. “Move the ball, share the ball, to come back in the game.”

“We were maybe missing our shots from our legs, maybe tired from practice, but we pushed through that, and it showed on the scoreboard,” said Bell, a 6-foot-5 sophomore.

“I told myself I’m going to start

being a force on this team to help our team do what our goal is to do.”

Bell and Kirk both finished with 12 points to lead West. Michael Ruwoldt, Malcohm Hill and Jaron Nabors each contributed eight points.

Tom Carney, a 6-3 senior starter, hit back-to-back three-pointers early in the fourth quarter to up West’s advantage to 57-44 with six minutes left in the game.

“Our intensity started to pick up in the second half,” Bell said. “Their guards couldn’t handle our guards. We started just breaking them down in all aspects.”

West shot just 39 percent (11

of 28) in the first half, but the Tigers were 13 of 24 from the field in the second half when their speed and quickness led to turnovers and transition baskets.

Josh Strama had a teamhigh 14 points for Stagg (9-12, 3-4), which was held to four points in the fourth quarter.

The Chargers were without their leading scorer, Jeff Goral.

Bell is looking forward to the second half of the rugged SWSC Blue schedule.

“Coach was telling us we’ve got some unfinished business with some teams we lost to the first time around,” Bell said.

“We need to show that we’re a team to be reckoned with.”

Former major league shortstop speaks at Old Timers Baseball Association of Will County banquet in Joliet

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com

• Friday, January 30, 2015

JOLIET – The timing was perfect.

Former major league shortstop Scott Fletcher, who came up with the Cubs and played several season with the White Sox, arrived in Joliet Gordon on Wednesday Beckham in preparation for Thursday night’s 66th annual Old Timers Baseball Association of Will County banquet at the Clarion.

A matter of hours before Fletcher met and socialized with members of the Old Timers board of directors, the news broke. The Sox had re-acquired infielder Gordon Beckham, signing him to a one-year deal worth $2 million, and designated outfielder Dayan Viciedo for assignment.

Almost 600 baseball enthusiasts attended Thursday’s banquet, and many, as Sox fans, are interested in this move and the many others Sox general manager Rick Hahn has made this offseason.

Fletcher, meanwhile, is the minor league infield coordinator for the Detroit Tigers after spending the past three seasons as assistant hitting coach for the Atlanta Braves. Normally, a transaction such as Beckham signing with the Sox would carry minor significance in his life.

This is different, however.

Beckham, who was traded to the Angels in August, is Fletcher’s son-in-law. He is married to Fletcher’s daughter, Brittany, his longtime girlfriend.

“Gordon is excited about this,” Fletcher said. “I know he really likes Robin [Ventura, the Sox manager] a lot. He is looking forward to having a good year. He had other prospects out there, but was pretty excited about getting a chance to return to the Sox.” The Sox have two rookies, Micah Johnson and Carlos Sanchez, ready to battle for the second base job. Beckham also will have his chance to win that job,

but he also may fit in as a valuable utility infielder who can play multiple positions well.

If he does have a season where he contributes and the Sox are in contention – perhaps with the Tigers in the American League Central – what then?

“You always have to look to win,” Fletcher said. “[The Tigers] have to go out there to beat my son-in-law, and he’s going to be trying to beat us. Whichever way it goes, there will be some bragging rights that will be talked about in the winter time.”

Brittany Fletcher, however, is very competitive in her own right.

“She has been on ‘The Amazing Race’ on television,” Fletcher said. “She and her friend left the airport and the cameraman who was assigned to them left his bag, and they had to go back and get it.

“Then they got to the finish line and they said they missed a check point coming back, so they had to go back there. When they came to a fork in the road, their Indonesian driver took the wrong road – they tried to make him understand English – and they got eliminated.”

Brittany, who grew up in Atlanta and works in Chicago, also won a Showcase Showdown on “The Price is Right” on her 18th birthday, after predicting as a child that she would be there on her 18th birthday.

“She tracks all the products on that show,” Fletcher said.

“She was in the car with Gordon once, and I was watching the show. She was texting me, asking what the price is and what the person bid. She said $800, the person bid $600 and it was $799.

She just knows that stuff.”

She is a competitor, not unlike her dad, who was not a perennial All-Star, yet made himself into a productive major leaguer who enjoyed a 15-year career.

Keeping things in the family, Fletcher also has a son, Brian, who is an outfielder hoping to stick this season with the Kansas City Royals. Scott said his son is “a very good player.”

While Fletcher was the featured speaker at the Old Timers banquet, 2014 speaker Denny McLain, the major leagues’ last 30-game winner, and longtime American League umpire Bill Haller, Lockport’s own, also were in attendance. Local baseball fans were the big winners.

SPORTS BROADCASTING

WJOL honors Ladas, celebrates 90 years

station lobby that included a large photo of Ladas, two old bowling pins and an emblem commemorating the station’s 90 years was unveiled.

Other familiar names – Slocum mentioned Tony Ray, Frank O’Leary and Bill Drilling as being among them – will be added to the shrine as they are honored.

“B-O-W-L-I-N-G ...” Walsh began, attempting to sing the tune that kicked off “Tenpin Topics” at 5:50 p.m., which Ladas turned into the longest running bowling show in the

nation.

“Don was a good husband, father and grandfather, and he always tried to promote the young men and women of this community,” Walsh continued. “I remember when Joliet East opened, at one of its first basketball games, there was Don broadcasting it. We are a better community because of what Don Ladas provided us.”

Giarrante said he and Ladas go back 50 years, when they played park district softball together.

“Nobody likes to lose; no-

body hated it more than Don,” he said. “We miss him as the emcee at the Old Timers banquet, even though he sometimes got a little long-winded.”

Slocum filled the master of ceremonies role at Thursday night’s annual Old Timers banquet.

Soliman recalled, “I remember the sports quiz Don had after Tenpin Topics. I was maybe 10 years old and never dialed fast enough to get in and answer it.

“I always listened to Don

call games on a transistor radio. And when you talked to him one-on-one or if you were in a roomfull of people, he made you feel like you were the most important person in the room.”

Sheri Voss, one of Don and Mary Lou’s daughters, spoke on behalf of the Ladas family.

“There are so many wonderful memories, hearing stories that maybe we didn’t know,” she said. “Anyone who loses a loved one, remember to bring their name up often.”

That’s what WJOL was doing Thursday morning.

“Don was more than in our family, he was such an important part of this community,” Slocum said.

And, he never forgot.

WJOL News Director Steve Brandy, who is Mr. Trivia to many, said he could not hold a candle to Ladas.

“It was incredible how he remembered who a guy’s dad or grandfather or uncle was and what they did in sports and beyond,” Brandy said.

“He always worked that into his broadcasts. He made it one big family.”

That was the theme Thursday, the celebration of a community that Don Ladas, through a local radio station, transformed into a family.

Not only has Joliet’s radio station been on the air for nine decades, it was only fitting the man who was there for a majority of that run be honored to kick off the yearlong anniversary celebration.

Don Ladas, who died Jan. 19, 2014, was synonymous with WJOL for 55 years. He was known for his broadcasts of any and all sports, his tireless efforts for charity and for all the work he did selling advertising to any and all.

To celebrate 90 years on the air, WJOL will honor a different personality from the station’s history each month for the next year. Ladas is No. 1.

“It was obvious from the start, when we wanted to kick this off, we had to start with our brightest star,” WJOL Program Director Scott Slocum said.

Will County Executive Larry Walsh, Joliet Mayor Tom Giarrante and Crest Hill Mayon Ray Soliman joined Ladas’ widow, Mary Lou, and rest of the immediate family for the special occasion. They spoke before the “shrine” in the

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL: NO. 1 LEWIS 88, ST. JOSEPH’S (INDIANA) 51

Flyers coast in 2nd half

By DRAKE SKLEBA Shaw Media Correspondent ROMEOVILLE – Lewis University’s undefeated and topranked NCAA Division II women’s basketball team crushed St. Joseph’s College (Indiana), 88-51, Thursday at Neil Carey Arena.

The Flyers (20-0, 10-0 Great Lakes Valley Conference) were led by senior Lexi Grayer and junior Jamie Johnson. Grayer scored 17 points, including 5 of 6 from beyond the arc while Johnson also scored 17 points, three points below her 20.2 season average, with five rebounds and three assists.

Junior Mariyah Brawner-Henley tallied another double-double, scoring 16 points and hauling down 12 rebounds.

Senior Jess Reinhart scored 14 points and had six rebounds and assist leader, senior Nikki Nellen, had 10 more assists, while scoring six points.

St. Joseph’s (8-12, 4-6), stunned Lewis by jumping out to a 13-4 lead behind nine quick points from Lauren Davis (14 points) with 13:46 in the first half. After Reinhart’s layup sparked an 7-0 Flyer run, Davis hit her second 3-pointer of the half to extended the Puma lead to 18-13, with 9:33 in the half.

Grayer’s jumper ignited another 7-0 Flyer run, which she then accentuated with her second 3-pointer of the half, with 6:59 in the half. After the Pumas

tied the score at 20, Flyer senior Kristin Itschner’s (eight points) made a layup, giving the Flyers the lead they would never relinquish.

“My job coming off the bench was to hit some shots if I was open. I was able to knock down the shots,” Grayer said.

“If any group could do what we are doing and go on to win the national championship, I truly believe our group can accomplish it.”

Johnson hit back-to back long range 3s to extend the Flyer lead to 29-20.

With 2:16 left in the half Johnson’s third 3-pointer of the half gave the Flyers a 37-22 lead.

Grayer’s long-range 3 at the buzzer, giving the Flyers a 40-25 lead at the half.

“We started slow tonight because our defense wasn’t where it should have been,” Johnson said. “Lexi hit some big shots for us and then my shot started dropping and we really got some momentum. We knew we were going to get rolling. We were good last year and with Jess and Lexi back, we knew we could be where we are right now.”

In the second half, Reinhart scored eight of her 14 points to help blow open the game.

Brawner-Henley scored six points and hauled in eight rebounds, and when junior Alyssa Dengler hit a 3, the Flyers led by 20, 54-34 with 13:46 left.

“We came out slow but then

the guards got us moving and got the ball to us inside and we got rolling,” Reinhart said. “I was able to get some rebounds and score on the inside and we were able to win this game.

We have so much we want to accomplish. It’s awesome what we have accomplished so far, but we just take it one game at a time.”

“The guards were able to get Jess and I the ball and we were able to score,” Brawner-Henley said. “It’s great to be No. 1 and 20 wins is awesome but we have a lot more work to do.”

Grayer continued her longrange marksmanship hitting her fourth 3-pointer for a 59-36 lead with 11:33 left. With 5:25 left, Nellen struck from long range and Johnson’s layup with 3:02 left gave the Flyers a 82-48 lead. The Flyers shot the lights out in the second half, converting on 18 of 26 shots.

“Our intensity on the defensive end was not there at the beginning but this group can get it together and they did tonight,” Flyers coach Lisa Carlsen said.

“Lexi was a huge spark off the bench and Mariah played well.

Jamie took over the game in the first half. We have a lot of offensive firepower. Jamie, Jess and Mariah have tremendous confidence in their abilities. We did finally get our defense playing up to our standards. I knew we had a special group here. If we stayed healthy I knew we could be a force to be reckoned with.”

Slammers’ DeBruin signs with Washington Nationals SUBMITTED REPORTS JOLIET – The Washington Nationals signed infielder Grant DeBruin from the Joliet Slammers to a contract.

The 2014 Frontier League All-Star spent two seasons with the Slammers and will have his first opportunity with an MLB organization this spring. DeBruin made great strides in his second season with the Slammers hitting .355 with 12 HR and 67 RBIs, leading the Slammers in all three categories.

“Grant played really well both offensively and defensively for last season,” Slammers manager Jeff Isom said.

“We hate to see him go but in the same breath couldn’t be happier for Grant and this opportunity. We’re excited to see how far he can take it.”

DeBruin started his professional career with the Slammers after earning NCBWA All-American status at the University of Alabama in Huntsville in 2012.

MEN’S BASKETBALL: LEWIS 88, ST. JOSEPH’S (INDIANA) 76

Flyers end three-game losing streak against Pumas

By TIM CRONIN Shaw Media Correspondent ROMEOVILLE – The St. Joseph’s College (Indiana) men’s basketball team gave Lewis all it could handle for more than 30 minutes on Thursday night, before the Flyers used a 12-0 run to pull away and score a 88-76 victory, snapping a threegame losing streak in the Great Lakes Valley Conference game at Neil Carey Arena.

Back and forth they went, a

total of 16 lead changes in all, along with a dozen deadlocks, until Lewis’ 12-point run in a span of 2:14 midway through the second half. A 3-pointer by Gabe Williams started it, baskets by Jeff Jarosz and Ryan Jackson kept it going and another 3-pointer by Williams followed by another Jarosz drive to the basket made it 7163.

The margin was never less than five points from that point as Lewis improved to 13-

6, 5-5 in the GLVC East, while St. Joseph’s fell to 5-15, 2-8 with its fifth loss in six games.

Jackson led Lewis with 25 points, with Jarosz adding 19 and Williams 12.

The first half was a similar story. The Flyers couldn’t pull away from the Pumas even while shooting 56.3 percent from the floor, scoring on four of St. Joseph’s six turnovers and dominating under the basket.

Lewis’ largest first half lead

after the first few minutes was four points, at 40-36, and that came after an 11-2 run. Jackson, who had points in the first half, had a pair of baskets in that surge.

It followed a 7-0 outburst

by St. Joseph’s for a 34-29 lead keyed by a 3-pointer by Cameron Vines (team-high 19 points).

With Joliet Central grad Jonah Coble scoring five of his seven points in the first half for St. Joseph’s, the teams traded the lead eight times be-

fore Lewis assumed it, holding a 40-38 advantage at the intermission.

Lewis had led by five points twice in the early going, the last time on freshman Max Strus’ jam. But he was assessed a technical foul for hanging on the rim and Davone Daniels made one of two free-throws to both close the gap and start a rally for the visitors.

That climaxed with a Coble 3-pointer for a 19-16 St. Joseph’s lead.

The bottom line is Welsh and Bachman proved to be wonderful hosts in the true tradition of our great city. We were treated to endless Chicago-style hot dogs, Italian beef and, of course, an open bar.

I was a little disappointed there wasn’t a single Old Style, PBR or Goose Island 312 to enjoy, but that wasn’t our hosts’ fault, and we were each sent out with our own little personalized tins of Garrett’s.

I haven’t popped the lid yet, but something tells me I’ll be having a little Chicago Mix for my bedtime snack tonight.

A number of us from the

games, and skill tests related to Pro Football, concerts and special events.

I don’t know if I’m supposed to tip y’all off to this one, but the league might even be considering moving rounds 4 through 7 of the draft out of the Auditorium and into Grant Park on Saturday and or Sunday – the podium, team draft tables and the whole shebang.

Hopefully I didn’t just kill all my access by dropping that little tip, and please hear me when I tell you that’s not a done deal yet.

In fact, none of the plans is. But we do know the draft is coming to town for sure and, the league, the city and the Bears couldn’t be more excited about it, and shortly after the final gun of the Super Bowl, we’re all going to get hit with a marketing blitz that will tell us everything we need to know.

Chicago media who attended were hoping to get all kinds of details on just what this big draft shindig is going to entail, but it seems not all of that has been worked out yet.

Although the draft will be in Chicago this year, it still very much is the NFL’s show.

Apparently a couple of other minor projects, like Super Bowl XLIX this weekend here in Phoenix, have to get staffed and completed before the league dives headlong into its plans for Chicago.

I can tell you that at least the first two nights of the draft will happen at the Auditorium Theatre, and there will be some kind of NFL Experience-type fan fest that takes place in Grant Park while the draft is in town.

The NFL Experience is a five-day show that takes place every year at the Super Bowl, and is part NFL Merchandising Flea Market, games and activities for kids and their families that might include running 40-yard dashes, passing, receiving and touch football drills, kicking field goals and other

Dunn triple-double helps Providence beat DePaul

PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Kris Dunn had a triple-double, scoring 27 points with 13 rebounds and 11 assists to lead Providence to an 83-72 victory over DePaul on Thursday.

It was the first triple-double ever for a Friars (16-5, 6-2) player in a Big East game, and the 10th in school history, according to The Providence Journal.

Tommy Hamilton scored 22 points for DePaul (11-11, 5-4).

The game had been rescheduled from Tuesday because of the snowstorm that dumped several feet of snow on the East Coast this week.

Dunn had 10 points, nine rebounds and seven assists at the half, when Providence led 41-23.

Gasol grateful for his time with Lakers

By GREG BEACHAM The Associated Press LOS ANGELES – Pau Gasol is only back in town for two days and one emotional game at Staples Center. He still cherishes the chance to reconnect with friends from his former life in Los Angeles, where he won two NBA titles with the Lakers and created a legacy that will endure beyond his basketball career.

“So many memories. So many battles,” Gasol said. “So many moments that I have lived and experienced. It’ll be nice to play in front of Laker fans and have a great game, and try to focus on it and be thankful for everything that I experienced here.”

And although he only had one night off in L.A., Gasol

also couldn’t miss a chance to do some good.

That’s why the Bulls’ 7-foot star sat on a chair Wednesday night in the cafeteria at Theodore Roosevelt High School in the Pau Boyle Heights Gasol neighborhood of Los Angeles, speaking in Spanish to about 150 students and parents gathered to hear his thoughts on health and nutrition.

Although Gasol has moved to the Midwest to pursue another ring, his Gasol Foundation continues to do important community work in this heavily Latino neighborhood southeast of downtown Los

Angeles. After his speech, he raffled off two books of his photography and a basketball before posing for photos with just about everybody in attendance.

“My commitment with children and infants and their future, it’s key – not just for now, but for the rest of our lives,” said Gasol, who fronts the foundation along with his All-Star brother, Marc.

“We’re trying to build a foundation that does great work, that benefits children and their families who didn’t have the opportunities that we did growing up.”

The 34-year-old Gasol has been revitalized in Chicago, earning an All-Star berth and playing some of his best basketball in the past half-decade.

PHOENIX – Wednesday evening in Phoenix a bunch of us Chicago folks got a bit of a break after three long days of New England and Seattle overkill.

It was called the 2015 NFL Draft Celebratory Reception, co-hosted by the Chicago Sports Commission, Choose Chicago and the Bears.

The key to the event seemed to be Choose Chicago, and to be honest, it took a little web surfing after returning to my room to figure out just exactly who and what that is.

According to the website, ChooseChicago.com, it’s the official destination marketing organization for the city of Chicago.

Launched by Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, its mission is to bring regional, national and international business and leisure visitors to Chicago for the economic benefit of the city, the community, and

it has a membership, which it serves as well.

Apparently Emanuel’s vision was to restructure all tourism sales and marketing activities for the city under a single, streamlined agency.

Beyond that, it seems Choose Chicago is the folks most responsible for convincing the NFL to bring the 2015 NFL Draft to Chicago this Spring, from April 30 to May 2.

Our actual hosts were Don Welsh, president and CEO of Choose Chicago, and Kara Bachman, executive director of the Chicago Sports Commission.

The Chicago Sports Commission was launched in 2011 and then became part of Choose Chicago when it was formed in 2012.

The Sports Commission’s mission is to recruit and support high-profile, major sporting events to the city that generate economic impact and positive exposure for Chicago.

It seems likely all this launching and planning might have been a result of the 2016 Olympic bid not going so well.

Plans for NFL Draft slowly starting to take shape

W

hether you are dealing with changing weather and road conditions, handling a daily commute or headed to the back country, the five-passenger 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee may be your top choice in the midsize SUV field.

It delivers a combination of best-in-class fuel economy and driving range. It sets the benchmark for on- and off-road capability. The craftsmanship is world-class. It is loaded with a host of advanced user-friendly technology and safety features. It is comfortable, and it looks great. And to top it off, the option of economical clean-diesel technology is available.

More accolades are no surprise for the most honored SUV ever. But a few are actually new.

The Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel, for example, was recently named tops in its class in the annual Carspondent.com Active Lifestyle Vehicle awards competition, and it was selected as the “2015 Green SUV of the Year” by Green Car Journal.

“We’re pleased to add this significant award from Green Car Journal to the Jeep trophy case,” said Mike Manley, President and CEO – Jeep Brand, adding that the award “recognizes the blend of efficiency, capability, comfort and performance that the Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel offers consumers.”

The EcoDiesel is one of several power choices available for 2015, and offers the bonus of low carbon dioxide emissions. Like other Grand Cherokee models, it leads the class in mileage, delivering a best-in-class 30 miles per

gallon highway (4x2 models) with the standard eight-speed transmission. The 24-valve, 240-horsepower, 3,0-liter V-6 EcoDiesel produces a massive 420 lb.-ft. of torque, while also still achieving 22 mpg city. And it tows a best-inclass 7,400 pounds, properly equipped.

Grand Cherokee’s standard flex-fuel Pentastar 3.6-liter V-6 gasoline engine is no slouch either. Featuring variable-valve timing (VVT), it delivers 290 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque. Towing is up to 6,200 pounds, properly equipped, and mileage ratings are 17 mpg city/25 mpg highway on 4x2 models and 17 mpg city/24 mpg highway on 4x4 models. A driving range of more than 600 miles is best-inclass for gas-powered SUVs. And for buyers who really want to rumble, the available 5.7-liter V-8 packs 360 horsepower and 390 lb.-ft. of torque, also with best-in-class towing capacity of 7,400 pounds. With VVT and seamless Fuel Saver cylinder-deactivation technology, the big V-8 still delivers fuel economy of 14 mpg city/22 mpg highway on 4x2 models, and 14 mpg city/20 mpg highway on 4x4 models.

The 2015 Grand Cherokee also earned a “Must-Shop SUV for Towing” award from AutoTrader.com, which recognizes SUVs that offer the perfect combination of towing ability and interior luxury.

And luxury, comfort and convenience are “standard” across the 2015 Grand Cherokee lineup.

The 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee offers more

On or off the road, the 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee continues to set the standard for luxury among mid-size sport utility vehicles. Pictured is the Summit model.

than 70 advanced safety and security features, most in its class. They include features like Forward Collision Warning with Crash Mitigation and Selec-Speed Control, electronic stability control (ESC), Electronic Roll Mitigation and trailer-sway control. Front-row active head restraints, standard full-length side-curtain air bags and standard seat-mounted side thorax air bags offer enhanced occupant protection. Available Blind-spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path detection aids drivers when changing lanes or in parking lot situations.

Grand Cherokee offers an array of advanced technologies for driver safety and passenger enjoyment. These include the award-winning Uconnect 8.4-inch touchscreen radio, 7-inch customer configurable multi-view cluster display, Uconnect Access with cloud-based voice texting, and a dual-screen Blu-ray DVD

rear-seat entertainment system.

Of course, it all rides on legendary Jeep capability, with three available 4x4 systems, Jeep’s Quadra-Lift air suspension system, and class-leading Selec-Terrain traction management system. Models include Laredo, Laredo E, Altitude, Limited, and Summit, in 4x2 and 4x4 configurations. All 4x4 models are Trail-Rated.

The 4x4 systems are Quadra-Trac I, QuadraTrac II and Quadra-Drive II. Quadra-Trac I features a single-speed transfer case with fulltime four-wheel drive. The Quadra-Trac II and Quadra-Drive II two-speed transfer cases and a variety of sensors to determine and correct tire slip, by routing available torque to the axle with the most traction.

A NIGHT OF ‘REAL’ MUSIC Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Dave Mason brings his classic guitar work to Joliet theater

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

J

OLIET – The guitar work of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Dave Mason is linked to many of rock ‘n’ roll’s greatest musicians.

Small wonder Mason calls his “Dave Mason’s Traffic Jam” twoact, multimedia show on Feb. 6 at the Rialto Square Theatre in Joliet a soundtrack of life – his, as well as the audience’s. He is set to perform songs he is certain people will want to hear, such as “Feelin’ Alright,” which he said he wrote at age 19. “[The concert is] a little journey through my musical history,” Mason said.

With five decades of music in the till (“You can’t play everything,” Mason said), Mason pared down his selections by putting those songs to one test.

“They had to be fun for us to play,” Mason said. “Even though they might be from an era that is somewhat timeless in its appeal, they had to be musically fun for the band to play.

We have to enjoy what we’re doing.

Otherwise, we’re just going through the motions.”

That criteria appears evident on Mason’s newest CD, “Future’s Past,” which features fresh versions of his popular songs – such as “World in Changes” and “Dear Mr. Fantasy” – as well as four new songs, such as “That’s Freedom” and the instrumental “El Toro.”

“I can’t classify [the album] as rock or blues or ballad,” Mason said. “I play all those styles.”

A deep love of music led Mason, a Worcester, England native, to cofound Traffic with Steve Winwood when Mason was a teen. Mason later left Traffic to pursue a solo career. His website, www.davemasonmusic.com, said Mason’s debut album, “Alone Together,” has sold millions of copies.

Mason also had five more successful albums for the CBS/Sony label, four gold certified in the United States.

Through the years, Mason – inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004 for his work with Traffic – has also lent his characteristic guitar work to many notable projects, the website added.

These include “Beggar’s Banquet”

More info According to his website, Dave Mason is involved with two charitable programs.

One is Work Vessels For Veterans, which he co-founded.

This all-volunteer group equips veterans with the required resources to return to civilian work.

The second, the nonprofit Little Kids Rock, gives free musical instruments and lessons to children in United States public schools.

If you go Q WHAT: Dave Mason’s Traffic Jam Q WHEN: 8 p.m. Feb 6 Q WHERE: Rialto Square Theatre, 102 N. Chicago St., Joliet Q TICKETS: $22.50 to $65.50 (additional fees may apply).

Q ORDER: Call 815-726-6600 or 1-800982-2787, or visit www.rialtosquare.com or www.ticketmaster.com.

“We’re real players doing real music.”

Although the years haven’t diminished Mason’s enjoyment for producing music, he bemoaned one significant change in the music industry, which Mason said makes it hard for new releases to become known.

“There used to be great commercial FM and AM radio stations with somebody there, a DJ who would say, ‘Hey, check this out and listen to this song,’ ” Mason said. “Now there’s nothing like that.”

Still, Mason added, Internet radio hasn’t replaced live appearances and it is these Mason still revels. So the industry can change as much as it Photo provided likes, he added.

“In the end, it’s still down to the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Dave Mason brings his “Dave Mason’s Traffic Jam” show to music and in the end, it’s still down to the Rialto Square Theatre in Joliet at 8 p.m. Feb. 6. a song,” Mason said. “I happen to have (Rolling Stones), “All Things Must Interspersed with music at “Dave made music and written songs that Pass” (George Harrison), “Listen to Mason’s Traffic Jam” will be rare vin- have lasted a long time.”

That said, don’t expect a flashy jamming in his studio any time soon.

Mason also has been linked to Eric show with dramatic theatrics. “Dave Making music is what he knows and Clapton, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jack- Mason’s Traffic Jam” provides an what he knows well, Mason said. son, Fleetwood Mac, Graham Nash, evening of satisfying music and one, “I still dig it and I’ve been doing it Stephen Stills, Rita Coolidge, Leon Mason said, that young and old will so long that it’s better,” Mason paused, Russell, Ron Wood and Mama Cass enjoy. laughed, and then added, “I’m really Elliot, according to the website.

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Not only leads, but also signals

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Albert Einstein, when asked to describe radio, said, “You see, wire telegraph is like a very, very long cat.

You pull his tail in New York, and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. And radio operates exactly the same way: You send signals here; they receive them there. The only difference: There is no cat.”

A bridge defender sends a signal from his hand and hopes it is received by his partner, sitting over yon. But will that information prove useful and be acted upon?

How should the defenders card to defeat this three-no-trump contract after West leads the spade king?

The auction was simple and straightforward. North knew that everyone would admire his lovely club suit when he put it down in the dummy.

East has no spade honor, so he signals with his three. Then, when South ducks, hoping to pull off the Bath Coup, West must realize that he has to shift at trick two, leading the heart six if he thinks partner has that ace, or the diamond eight if he hopes partner holds that instant winner.

Given dummy’s holdings, most players would play the diamond, which works perfectly here. East wins with his ace and returns a spade, establishing West’s suit while West still has an entry in the club ace.

Finally, if South wins the first trick and attacks clubs, West should duck one round and take note of East’s discard of the diamond 10 on the second round.

West shifts to that suit, and a spade through South results in a satisfying down two. **

salt tablets or sports drinks may help replace minerals in your body.

• When you get cramps during exercise, stop your activity to stretch and massage the affected muscle at the first sign of a spasm. Use heat to relax the muscle when the spasm begins. Ice may help after the first spasm and when the pain has improved. If the muscle is still sore after heat and ice, try a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) to help with pain.

• If you have recently started a new medicine that could cause muscle cramps, ask your doctor about switching to a different medicine or adjusting the dose.

• If you have an underactive thyroid, you should be taking synthetic thyroid hormone. This should correct many symptoms, including the cramps.

• If your potassium, calcium or magnesium levels are low, taking supplements and correcting the underlying reason for your deficiency may help.

In more severe cases, your doctor can prescribe medications to help prevent spasms. In people who get repeat cramps for no clear reason, and whose kidneys are functioning normally, I often still prescribe potassium and magnesium supplements.

That’s true even if a person’s blood levels of these minerals are normal.

There aren’t good medical studies of whether this practice is beneficial, but it’s been my experience that it sometimes helps.

PUZZLES & ADVICE | The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com

Dear Doctor K: Over the past few months, I’ve been experiencing severe “charley horses.” What causes them? How can I prevent them?

Dear reader: Almost everyone has a “charley horse” at some point in his or her life. These are muscle spasms in which a group of muscles involuntarily contracts. This causes pain and inability to use those muscles.

Stretching typically stops the cramp. But you may continue to have soreness for several days.

Often charley horses develop for no clear reason.

They can happen while sleeping, or they may develop if you stay in one position for a long period, as in writer’s cramp.

A variety of conditions are associated with such muscle cramps. They include: • exercise, especially with dehydration • pregnancy • kidney disease (particularly patients being given dialysis) • low potassium (this can result from taking diuretics for treatment of either high blood pressure or heart failure) • low calcium • low magnesium • hyperventilation (breathing too fast) • hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) • certain medicines.

These include drugs that treat conditions ranging from Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease to high cholesterol, osteoporosis and asthma.

• muscle disease. If your cramps are unexplained, severe, prolonged or frequent, you should see your doctor.

Depending on the cause of your muscle cramps, you may be able to prevent them: • If you’re getting cramps during exercise, drink water before and during exercise. This should prevent cramps due to dehydration. If drinking water alone is not enough,

I want to write them and their families a letter expressing my apologies, thanking them for their kind thoughts and giving basic advice on how to handle a seizure. Is this appropriate?

It may also be that before becoming emotionally involved with anyone she would prefer to focus on her education or career path. Whatever her reasons, you would be making a mistake to push her in any direction she doesn’t feel ready for, or make her uncomfortable about being the way she is.

Dear Abby: Mom passed away five years ago, and Dad died four months ago.

For the last years of his life Dad was hoping we’d move into their home. It’s a beautiful place in a country setting with lots of trees, including pecan trees. We were undecided.

After Dad died, my husband and I were at home making all the funeral arrangements and we were both emotionally exhausted. While I tried to stay busy inside the house, my husband decided to go outside to clear his head.

While walking around the yard, he found a pecan in the grass! Abby, there are no pecan trees in this entire neighborhood. We knew the rational answer was that a squirrel must have dropped it, but in our hearts we felt it was Dad giving us the hug we needed so badly, and his way of telling us that everything will work out.

We will be moving into my parents’ home in the near future. – At Peace in

Dear Appropriate: Before writing the letter, check with the principal of your school. Because you now know that you are prone to having seizures, I think it makes sense that your students should know what one is, and what to do in case it happens again in the classroom. Some seizures can be almost unnoticeable, while others can be quite severe. If yours are severe, a student should immediately inform another adult and ask for help.

P.S. While you may want to thank everyone for their kindness, it should not be necessary to apologize to anybody for something you couldn’t control.

Dear Abby: My daughter has always been very independent. She had a normal childhood with the usual friends and events, nothing traumatic that I know of.

She is a pretty girl with a funny personality and is very bright.

The issue is, she is 18 and has been on only two dates. She shows no interest in forming any sort of romantic relationship. She has never had a boyfriend, though many boys have expressed interest in her.

The two dates she did go on, one in high school and one in college, she called “duds.”

She says she’s not gay, and has commented on good-looking guys. I don’t know what to think. Do you? – Wondering Mom Dear Wondering Mom: You say your daughter has always been independent. It’s possible she has
